A visitor pre-registration method including a receipt number notification step and a registration content storage step of storing these pre-registration contents, and pre-registration was performed using a general telephone terminal at a venue such as an exhibition. In this case, a general telephone terminal that prints out the data code assigned at the time of pre-registration and brings it with the pre-registrant, reads it with a data code reader and inputs it to the computer that stores the pre-registration data to confirm visitors If the user registration step and pre-registration were performed using a mobile phone terminal, the pre-registered user will use this number at the time of pre-registration and the accession number will be stored. A mobile phone terminal user confirmation step of confirming the visitor by inputting the mobile phone terminal with the computer having pre-registered data stored by the infrared communication system of the mobile phone terminal and confirming the visitor. And a confirmation method.

[0010]

[Operation] When a visitor of an exhibition or the like preliminarily registers using a homepage or the like such as the Internet, a unique reception number or data code is given to each registrant at the time of registration. More specifically, for example, a data code such as a barcode is given to a general telephone terminal user. Also, WA
A P-type mobile telephone terminal user is given a reception number such as a numeral.

[0011] When visiting the exhibition, a person who has pre-registered by using a general telephone terminal prints out a data code such as a bar code provided and brings it with him. In addition, a person who has pre-registered by using the mobile telephone terminal is required to bring a mobile phone such as a mobile phone in which the accession number is stored at the time of the pre-registration to the venue.

At the time of reception at an exhibition hall or the like, in the case of a bar code, the bar code reader reads the bar code brought by the visitor, and in the case of a mobile phone, the bar code is stored in the mobile phone brought by the visitor. The mobile phone and reader using the infrared communication function of the reader,
Visitors are confirmed by inputting the contents into a computer in which pre-registrant data is stored.

In this visitor confirmation work, if a reader is installed in each exhibition booth or the like, by connecting this reader to a computer in which pre-registrant data is stored, each exhibition booth or the like can also be used. Will be able to do that. Furthermore, by having an e-mail address registered at the time of advance registration, it is possible to easily send necessary messages and the like to visitors at the venue.
