Description

  The present invention relates to an information recording admission ticket on which information is recorded.

  Conventionally, a camera is installed at an attraction venue such as a theme park, which is a large entertainment facility, and shooting is performed when the vehicle of the user who uses the attraction venue arrives. There has been known a system that provides a photograph in response to an order from a user when the user confirms the contents of the photograph on a monitor and likes the photograph. However, this system has a problem in that useless photography is performed because photography is performed uniformly regardless of whether the user desires photography.

Therefore, when a user who uses the facilities of an amusement facility wishes to take a photo, the user is given a wireless tag in which information such as an admission date and an admission order is recorded separately from the admission ticket. There has been proposed a system that receives a signal from the wireless tag when approaching a predetermined place or an attraction venue and operates a camera based on the received signal to take a picture (see Patent Document 1). According to this system, only a user who wants to take a picture can take a picture, and the picture can be provided to the user when the attraction venue or the entertainment facility leaves.
