Normally, an IC card has a security function for preventing unauthorized writing, so that it cannot be rewritten by ordinary people and cannot be illegally copied or its contents changed. For this reason, the security against unauthorized use is higher than that of a ticket printed on ordinary paper.

FIG. 3 shows an example of information stored in the ID card. The reservation information 1a is composed of a performance place, performance contents, date and time of the event, a reservation number, the number of people, a seat number, and a credit card number for settlement. The reservation information 1a is referred to for determining whether or not to enter the performance hall 3. The personal information 1b includes the name and gender of the visitor, age, genre of interest, and coupon number, and is referred to at the time of customer service at the exhibition hall 3.

On the date of the performance, the reservation person 1 carries the ID card 2b and uses the card reader 4b of the entrance terminal 4 at the entrance of the performance hall 3 to reserve the reservation information 1 in the ID card.
a and the personal information 1b are read, and these data are sent to the personal computer 4a. In the personal computer 4a, data corresponding to the performance currently being held at the performance hall 3, that is, the performance location, the content of the performance, and the date and time of the performance are registered in advance. This data is compared with the same item in the reservation information 1a read from the ID card 2b, and if all are the same, it is determined that entry is possible. Next, the data on the number of persons in the reservation information 1a and the data on the names of the visitors in the personal information 1b are inserted into a standard message registered in advance in the personal computer 4a. In the case of a card, an admission-possible message such as "Two people including Patent Taro are waiting. Please proceed" is displayed, and a confirmation sound is heard from the speaker in the PC 4a for the number of people.
Generate only once. For example, if this display is displayed on the large screen of the plasma display device as the display device 4d, the attendant can confirm the display from afar, and the confirmation result can be used to confirm the determination result and the number of persons without always watching the display.
It is possible to prevent falsification of the number of people and to easily confirm whether or not to enter.

If there is at least one difference between the data corresponding to the performance currently being held at the performance hall 3 and the content of the same item of the reservation information 1a read from the ID card 2b,
By displaying the difference items, the reservation person 1 can be prompted to confirm the reservation contents. For example, in the case of the ID card shown in FIG. 3, if the time of the date and time of the event is different, the message "Time is different. Please check the entrance time again."
Generated from the speaker in a. With this display, the reservation person 1 becomes aware of an error in the entry time and can deal with it without troublesome entry staff, thereby simplifying the entry work. In addition, the sound of the error can alert the attendant of the event.

When it is determined that entry is possible, information corresponding to the personal information 1b read from the ID card 2b is retrieved from the provided information master file 4g of the entry terminal 4 and displayed together with an entry possible message. For example, in the provided information master file 4g, information on the next performance schedule is stored for each performance genre, and information that matches the item of the genre of interest in the read personal information 1b is searched for and displayed. In the case of the ID card of FIG. 3,
Because Taro Patent is interested in action and Hanako Patent are interested in romance, the display device 4d displays "Taro Patent, Mr. Taro next action-related performance is scheduled to be on ○○○○○○.
Patent Hanako The next romance-related box office is
OO is planned. In addition, since the admission terminal 4 is equipped with the printer 4c, if the reservation person 1 is necessary, the displayed contents and the search result are printed by pressing a specific key of the keyboard 4e. Thus, it can be obtained as an information sheet.

Further, a coupon number which can receive a discount at the time of the next box office reservation is automatically printed on this information sheet. This coupon number is composed of, for example, a three-digit number in this embodiment, and is encrypted so that only the reservation person who has entered this time can use it. FIG.
In the case of the personal information 1b, the coupon number is 721, and the number becomes 10 when all the numerical values are added. The coupon number is changed, for example, to 334, 226, 235, etc. every time the date and time of the event, the place of the performance, and the content of the performance change. Since these are all in the same relation as described above, the ticket center 2 can check the validity of the coupon number by a simple program. When the information sheet is issued, personal information 1 is automatically
It is possible to store the personal information 1b to the ticket center 2 and refer to it at the time of accepting the next reservation, thereby automatically discounting it. However, the system becomes more complicated than in the case of using the aforementioned coupon number. . The discount information of the coupon number can prompt the reservation person 1 to return and provide a service to the reservation person 1.

As described above, since the information service in accordance with the preference of the reservation person 1 can be provided, the degree of customer satisfaction can be increased, and the possibility of returning to the venue can be increased without the trouble of the attendant.

Also, since the IC card is expensive,
It is necessary to collect it instead of transferring it to the company. However, if an inexpensive magnetic card is used as the ID card, the transfer of the ID card to the reservation person 1 can save the trouble of collection and simplify the leaving operation.

On the other hand, the on-site terminal 6 has the function of the admission terminal 4 except for the admission judgment, and provides the provided information master via the LAN cable 5 connected to the admission terminal 4. Refer to file 4g. For example, Reservation 1
When the user wants to confirm the location of the toilet in the hall, the personal information 1b in the ID card 2b is first read by the card reader 6b, and this data is sent to the personal computer 6a.
Next, by pressing the key for confirming the toilet location on the keyboard 6e, the personal information 1b read from the ID card 2b is read.
On the display device 6d, the toilet guide map stored for each gender in the provided information master file 4g corresponding to the gender data in the gadget is displayed. If necessary, by pressing a specific key, it can be obtained by printing on the printer 6c. Of course, it is also possible to repeatedly check the performance guidance and the like as necessary. As described above, the information service corresponding to the reservation person 1 can be provided, so that the customer satisfaction can be enhanced and the response can be performed without troublesome staff.
