[First Embodiment]
Hereinafter, a ticket processing system 10 according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the ticket processing system 10 of this embodiment, a coupon ticket distributed electronically is processed as an example of a ticket.

  FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the configuration of the ticket processing system 10. The ticket processing system 10 includes a mobile terminal 20 and a server 30. The portable terminal 20 and the server 30 each execute an application for functioning as a component of the ticket processing system 10 of the present invention. The portable terminal 20 and the server 30 can communicate via a network such as the Internet.

  FIG. 2 is an external view of the mobile terminal 20. The mobile terminal 20 is a mobile terminal such as a smart phone, a tablet PC, or a game terminal. In FIG. 2, a smart phone is illustrated as the mobile terminal 20. Hereinafter, the mobile terminal 20 will be described by taking a smart phone as an example, but the present invention is also applicable to a mobile terminal other than a smart phone.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the mobile terminal 20 is provided with a display 220 and operation buttons 230 in a vertically long and rectangular casing 210. The casing 210 is made of a material such as resin or metal. The display 220 has a vertically long and rectangular shape, and is a so-called touch panel display in which a display such as a liquid crystal panel is combined with a position input device such as a touch pad. The display 220 has a vertically long rectangular shape, and displays icons necessary for operating the mobile terminal 20. The user can operate the mobile terminal 20 by touching the display 220. The operation button 230 accepts user operation input such as power ON / OFF.

  FIG. 3 is an internal configuration diagram of the mobile terminal 20. In order to function as a smart phone such as the antenna 201, the transmission / reception unit 202, the control unit 203, the storage unit 204, the detection unit 205, the speaker 206, the microphone 207, the imaging unit 208, and the power supply 209 in the housing 210 of the mobile terminal 20. The necessary configuration is accommodated.

  The transmission / reception unit 202 reverse-encodes a signal (hereinafter, data) received by the antenna 201 as necessary, and then outputs the signal to the control unit 203. The transmission / reception unit 202 encodes the data input from the control unit 203 as necessary, and transmits the encoded data through the antenna 201.

  The control unit 203 is a processor such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit) and controls the entire portable terminal 200 according to an instruction signal input from the operation button 230 and the display 220. In addition, the control unit 203 stores the data received by the transmission / reception unit 202 via the antenna 201 in the storage unit 204. Furthermore, the control part 203 outputs to the speaker 206, when the data received with the transmission / reception part 202 via the antenna 201 are audio | voice data. In addition to the data received by the transmission / reception unit 202, the storage unit 204 stores programs such as applications and operating systems executed by the control unit 203. The control unit 203 executes various processes including acquisition of an electronic ticket and use of the electronic ticket on the portable terminal based on a program stored in the storage unit 204. The process of acquiring an electronic ticket and using the electronic ticket will be described later.

  FIG. 4 is a functional block diagram of the server 30. As illustrated in FIG. 4, the server 30 includes, for example, a communication unit 321, a display 322, an operation unit 323, a memory 324, a control unit 325, and a database 327, which are connected via a data line 320.

  The communication unit 321 is used for communicating with the mobile terminal 20, for example. The display 322 displays various screens provided by a program executed by the control unit 325.

The operation unit 323 is a touch panel function of the display 322 and an operation unit such as a keyboard and a mouse. The memory 324 temporarily stores a program executed by the control unit 325 and data used for processing of the control unit 325. The control unit 325 executes a program and comprehensively controls the ticket related processing of the server 30.

  The database 327 stores information related to coupons (also simply referred to as “coupon information”). FIG. 5 shows an example of coupon information stored in the database 327. As coupon information, coupon identification information for identifying a coupon (such as an ID for identifying a coupon or a coupon name), contents of services that can be enjoyed with a coupon (for example, discount coupons, one-item service, crude gifts, etc.), coupons can be used. Examples include store identification information (store name, ID for identifying a store, etc.), coupon status information (registered / unregistered / out of period, etc.), and a stamp imprint image of a coupon application processing stamp. In addition, for example, information on the number of coupons that can be used (for example, first-come-first-served people), information on stores that can use coupons (address, telephone number, etc.), event information associated with the coupon, and events are held The coupon ID includes the location information of the location where the event is held, the map information indicating the route from the location where the event is held to the store, the coupon usage period, the information of the user using the coupon (user ID, location information, usage date, etc.), etc. And may be stored in a database.

  In order for a user to use a coupon, first, the user's portable terminal 20 needs to acquire an unused coupon (that is, download ticket data from the server 30 to the portable terminal 20). The acquisition method of an unused coupon may be acquired actively by the user or passively.

  As an active acquisition method, for example, a user operates the mobile terminal 20 to search and acquire a desired coupon. Specifically, when the user visits a store where coupons can be used, the user's mobile terminal 20 is operated to transmit a coupon acquisition request to the server 30, and the server 30 stores the request in the database 327 in response to the request. It is good to comprise so that the coupon information which can be used in the said store among the coupon information which has been transmitted to a user's portable terminal 20 as a search result.

  Moreover, as a passive acquisition method, for example, the server 30 forcibly distributes an unused coupon from the server 30 to the portable terminal 20 (or push notification). As a condition when the server 30 distributes / notifies the coupon to the mobile terminal 20, the user information such as the location information of the mobile terminal 20 transmitted from the mobile terminal 20 to the server 30 is matched with the coupon information stored in the database 327. When there is matching information, a notification of coupon information may be transmitted to the user's mobile terminal 20. For example, if the location information of the mobile terminal 20 is in front of Shibuya Station, the coupon whose location information of the store issuing the coupon is in front of Shibuya Station among the coupon information stored in the database 327 is transmitted to the mobile terminal 20. Other types of coupons desired by the user (for example, genre of cuisine (Japanese, Chinese, Italian, French, etc.), type of restaurant (family restaurant, fast food, Izakaya, Izakaya, Kappo, bar, Chinese restaurant, (Italian restaurants, etc.), specific stores, restaurant price ranges, etc.) may be registered in advance, and the search conditions may be included to narrow down and distribute coupons that match the user's preferences.

  Note that the above is an example of a method in which the mobile terminal 20 acquires an unused coupon, and it goes without saying that an unused coupon may be acquired by a method other than this. For example, the access information (URL or the like) to the coupon itself or the coupon download page may be distributed from the server 30 to a registered user using means such as an e-mail. Further, in this case, registered users of distribution destinations may be narrowed down based on registered user attribute information, past coupon use history, and the like.

  When the mobile terminal 20 acquires an unused coupon from the server 30, the corresponding coupon is displayed on the display 220 as illustrated in FIG. 6 by executing the ticket processing system application of the mobile terminal 20, for example.

  Next, with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. 7, an operation procedure when the coupon issued by the ticket processing system 10 is performed and the coupon is used will be described. First, the user starts up a coupon processing application installed on the mobile terminal 20 (step S100). The control unit 203 of the portable terminal 20 displays an unused coupon on the display 220 based on the user's operation (step S110). Subsequently, when the user presents the mobile terminal 20 to the store staff with the unused coupon displayed on the display 220, the store staff operates the mobile terminal 20 and is indicated by a broken line arrow in the screen example of FIG. As described above, by drawing a closed curve on the touch panel display of the mobile terminal 20, an erasing operation is performed to make an unused coupon used. If the region surrounded by the closed curve drawn at this time is smaller than the predetermined area, the control unit 203 of the mobile terminal 20 returns the process to step S110. On the other hand, when the area surrounded by the closed curve is equal to or larger than the predetermined area (step S120; Yes), the control unit 203 of the mobile terminal 20 advances the process to step S130. In step S <b> 130, the mobile terminal 20 transmits information indicating that the erase operation has been executed to the server 30.

  As shown in FIG. 8, it is preferable to display on the screen a graphic having a predetermined area that becomes a boundary of the determination condition (for example, a hatched circle in FIG. 8) in step S120. The figure having such a predetermined area may be displayed only when contact with the touch panel display 220 on which the unused coupon is displayed is detected.

  In response to this, the control unit 325 of the server 30 determines whether or not the information on the coupon to be used is available in the database 327 (for example, whether or not it is already registered and whether or not it is a usable period). Etc.) (step S140). As a result of matching the coupon information in the database 327, when it is determined that the coupon information is usable (step S140; Yes), the control unit 325 updates the status of the coupon information stored in the database 327 from unused to used. (Step S150). In addition, the server 30 transmits information indicating that the coupon can be used to the mobile terminal 20 (step S160). At this time, the server 30 transmits, from the communication unit to the portable terminal 20, an image of a stamp imprint that indicates the used state, which is stored in the database 327 of the server 30, in order to indicate that the application process has been appropriately performed. The seal imprint may be different for each coupon or may be common. When receiving information indicating that the coupon can be used, the mobile terminal 20 shifts the coupon unused screen to the coupon used screen (step S170). Specifically, as illustrated in FIG. 9, the image of the seal imprint provided from the server 30 is placed on the center of the closed curve drawn on the touch panel display in step S120 so as to overlap the image of the coupon. Thereby, the application process is completed, and the user can use the coupon.

  When a coupon registered in the database of the server 30 is used, user information, store information, date and time information, etc. using the coupon may be transmitted to the server 30 through the portable terminal 20 and accumulated in the database 327. The accumulated information can be provided to stores and event organizers for use in marketing and sales promotion activities.

  On the other hand, when the coupon information transmitted from the portable terminal 20 to the server 30 is matched with the coupon information stored in the database 327 and is determined to be unusable (for example, unregistered, out of period, etc.) (step S140). No), the server 30 notifies the user's portable terminal 20 that the coupon cannot be used via the communication unit 321 and the portable terminal 20 receives this notification (step S180). When receiving the notification that the coupon cannot be used, the mobile terminal 20 displays on the display 220 that the coupon cannot be used and completes the process (step S190). When such a display is made, the user cannot use the coupon at the store. Moreover, since the used coupon has shifted to the screen after the application process by the application process, it can be determined that the used coupon has been used by both the store staff and the user. As described above, unauthorized use and misuse of unregistered coupons, out-of-period coupons, used coupons, and the like can be prevented.

  In step S120 in the procedure of using the coupon described above, a closed curve is drawn on the touch panel display, and when the area of the region surrounded by the closed curve is equal to or larger than the predetermined area, the application process is performed. A point will be supplementarily described.

  As shown in FIG. 10, in the case where the locus drawn on the touch panel display has a plurality of closed regions, the extinction process is performed according to the area of the first closed curve (the hatched portion in FIG. 10) after the locus is first drawn. It is good to determine whether or not to proceed to.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 11, when the locus drawn on the touch panel display is not a closed curve and both ends are open, the control unit 203 extends the starting point and the ending point of the locus along the tangent lines, and extends the extension. It may be handled that a closed curve is drawn including the straight line. The trajectory may be extended not by a straight line but by a curved line.

  Although it has been described that the display position of the imprint should be the center of the closed curve, the center may be the center of gravity of the figure surrounded by the closed curve, or the X coordinate (horizontal axis) and Y coordinate ( For each of the vertical axes, an intermediate value ((Xmax + Xmin) / 2, (Ymax + Ymin) / 2) between the maximum value (Xmax, Ymax) and the minimum value (Xmin, Ymin) may be set as the center.

  In addition to the area of the closed curve, the shape of the closed curve (for example, the number of vertices) may be added to the determination condition for determining whether or not to proceed to the consumption process.

[Second Embodiment]
Hereinafter, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the first embodiment, one imprint was displayed for one coupon / ticket and the application was completed. On the other hand, the ticket processing system according to the present embodiment has one feature such as a stamp card. The point is that multiple stamps can be stamped on the ticket. Except for the changes associated with the adoption of such a configuration, the description is omitted because it is the same as that of the first embodiment described above.

  In the present embodiment, the database 327 of the server 30 stores stamp card information similar to the coupon information in the first embodiment. The stamp card information includes stamp card identification information (such as a stamp card ID and a stamp card name), stamp field identification information (such as a stamp field ID) in the stamp card, exchange field identification information (replacement field ID), and user identification information ( User ID) is different from the coupon information in the first embodiment in that it is linked. A plurality of stamp field identification information may be associated with one stamp card identification information.

  The coupon of the first embodiment is exchanged for one service for one coupon. Therefore, the consumption process is once per sheet. On the other hand, the stamp card according to the present embodiment collects a predetermined number of stamps at a predetermined store during a predetermined period, and can receive a service by collecting all the stamps. .

  FIG. 12 shows an example of an unused stamp card display screen. The stamp card is provided with two types of application processing fields, a stamp stamp field 401 and a redemption field 402. The stamp stamping column 401 is a column for performing an erasing process in order to collect stamps, and is provided for the number of stamps that must be collected on the store side. The exchange field 402 is an application process field for making the stamp card used when all stamps are collected and exchanged for a service. When the stamp processing is performed in the stamp stamp field and stamp collection starts, the screen shown in FIG. 13 is displayed. A stamp imprint of a stamp for the stamp column stored in the database 327 is arranged in the stamp stamp column 401 subjected to the erase process. When all the stamps are collected and redeemed for service, the redemption processing is performed in the service redemption column 402, and the redemption processing stored in the database 327 in the redemption column 402 as shown in FIG. An imprint of the stamp shown is arranged.

  Hereinafter, a procedure for using a stamp card will be described with reference to the drawings. It is assumed that the stamp card used in the following procedure has been downloaded from the server 30 to the mobile terminal in advance. First, the procedure for collecting stamps in the stamp stamping column 401 will be described with reference to FIG. First, an application is activated (step S200). When the application is activated, stamp card data downloaded in advance is taken into the application. The user operates the portable terminal 20 to display a stamp card that is unused or in the middle of stamp collection (step S201), and presents the portable terminal 20 to the store staff at the time of payment at a store where the stamp card can be used. The store staff confirms whether the user is shopping for 1000 yen or more. When shopping for 1000 yen or more, a closed curve that fills a predetermined area of the stamp stamp field 401 on the stamp card of the portable terminal 20 is drawn (step S202). If the closed curve is less than the predetermined area (step S202; No), the process returns to step S201. When the closed curve satisfies the predetermined area (step S202; Yes), the mobile terminal 20 transmits information indicating that the operation for deleting the stamp stamp field 401 has been performed to the server 30 (step S203).

  When the server 30 receives the information indicating that the deletion operation to the stamp seal field 401 has been performed, the control unit 325 determines whether or not the stamp card can be used in the database 327 (that is, registered and within the usage period). Status inquiry is performed (step S204). If the stamp card is not usable (that is, unregistered or out of period) (step S204; No), the server 30 transmits a notification to that effect to the mobile terminal 20 (step S210). When receiving the notification that the stamp card is not usable, the portable terminal 20 displays on the display 220 that the stamp card is “unregistered” or “out of period” (step S211), and ends the process. .

  On the other hand, if the stamp card is available (step S204; Yes), the server 30 inquires about the status of whether the erase processing is performed according to the order of the stamp stamp field 401 of the stamp card or as instructed. (Step S205). When the deletion process is not performed according to the order in the stamp stamp field 401 or as instructed (step S205; No), the server 30 transmits a notification of “illegal” to the portable terminal 20 (step S220). Upon receiving the notification of “invalid”, the mobile terminal 20 displays on the display 220 that the order of the deletion process in the stamp stamp field 401 of the stamp card is “invalid” (step S221). The process ends.

  When the deletion process is performed in the order of stamp stamp field 401 or as instructed, the control unit 325 updates the status of stamp card stamp field information stored in the database 327 to “used” (step S206). Then, the stamp imprint image for the stamp imprint field 401 is transmitted from the communication unit 321 of the server 30 to the portable terminal 20 (step S207). The portable terminal 20 arranges the sent stamp imprint image for the stamp column in the stamp stamp column 401 of the stamp card displayed on the display 220 (step S208), and ends the process.

  In the above procedure, in the example of the screen shown in FIG. 13, a closed curve is drawn in the stamp stamp field 401. However, as shown in FIG. When the area of the region surrounded by the drawn closed curve is larger than the predetermined area, the imprint is displayed once larger, and the imprint is arranged in the stamp imprint column 401 while reducing the imprint. An animation may be displayed. In this case, it is preferable to designate which stamp stamping column 401 to stamp by tapping one of the stamp stamping columns 401.

  By repeating the above steps S200 to S208 for the number of stamp stamp fields 401 (step S209), the user can collect stamps (imprints) in all stamp stamp fields 401 provided on the stamp card.

  Next, the erase process of the stamp card redemption field 402 will be described with reference to FIG. First, an application is activated (step S300). When the application is activated, stamp card data downloaded in advance is taken into the application. The user operates the mobile terminal 20 to display a stamp card screen on which stamps have been collected on the display 220 (step S301). Step S300 may be omitted when the stamp collection flow in the stamp stamp field 401 of the stamp card is completely completed and the redemption flow is continued as it is. A closed curve satisfying a predetermined area is drawn in the stamp card redemption field 402 (step S302). If the closed curve is less than the predetermined area (step S302; No), the process returns to step S301. If the closed curve is equal to or larger than the predetermined area (step S302; Yes), the mobile terminal 20 transmits information indicating that the operation for deleting the redemption field 402 has been performed to the server 30 (step S303).

  When the server 30 receives the information indicating that the redemption operation to the redemption field 402 has been performed, the control unit 325 allows the server 30 to use the stamp card that can be used in the database 327 (that is, registered and within the usage period). If the server 30 determines that the stamp card is not available (that is, unregistered or out of period) (step S304; No), the server 30 informs the mobile terminal 20 of the fact. Upon receiving the information indicating that the stamp card cannot be used, the portable terminal 20 displays on the display 220 that the stamp card is “unregistered” or “out of period” (step S311), and performs processing. On the other hand, if the stamp card is available (step S304; Yes), the server 3 In step S305, the server 30 updates the status of the stamp card redemption column information to “used.” The server 30 stores the stamp for the redemption column 402 stored in the database 327 and indicating that an appropriate application process has been performed. The imprint image data is transmitted to the portable terminal 20 (step S306), and the portable terminal 20 places the stamp imprint in the redemption field 402 (step S307) and ends the process. The user can exchange the stamp card with the service after the application process in the exchange field 402 is completed properly.

  The stamp card format as described above can be used in association with some event. In addition, the stamp may be highly premium and cannot be obtained elsewhere, and the stamp itself may be collected.

[Third Embodiment]
Next, 3rd Embodiment of this invention is described based on drawing. The ticket processing system according to the present embodiment is characterized in that a consumption process is performed by inputting a number and specifying a stamp position. Since other than that is the same as that of 1st Embodiment, description here is abbreviate | omitted.

  FIG. 18 is an example of a screen on which an unused coupon is displayed by launching a ticket processing application installed on the mobile terminal 20. The user presents a screen displaying an unused coupon at a store where the coupon can be used to the store staff. This coupon is provided with a store number input field 501, and the store number assigned to the store is input into the store number input field 501. A different number is assigned to each store number, and the store number is associated with coupon information so that it can be understood at which store the coupon is used. And if the touchscreen display 220 of the portable terminal 20 is tapped by the store staff, the identification information of the coupon to be used is transmitted to the server 30. If the store number is entered incorrectly, the control unit 203 may display on the screen that the store number is incorrect and prompt the user to input the correct store number. The server receives the identification information of the coupon to be used as the input store number transmitted from the mobile terminal 20 and inquires about the status of the coupon information stored in the database 327. If the coupon is already registered in the database of the server 30, the control unit 325 of the server 30 updates the coupon information status in the database 327 from unused to used, and displays a stamp imprint indicating used. The data is transmitted to the mobile terminal 20 via the communication unit 321. The portable terminal 20 displays the stamp superimposed on the coupon screen with the location where the store staff taps the touch panel display as the center point. Thereby, the user can use the coupon. Moreover, when coupon information collates with the database 327 of the server 30 and it is determined that it is not registered or out of the period, that fact is transmitted from the server 30 to the mobile terminal 20, and the point that the user cannot use the coupon is the first embodiment. It is common.

  By tapping the screen, stamp imprints can be placed with the tapped location as the center point, so the stamp pressing position can be freely selected. This operation is not limited to a tap, and a closed curve satisfying a predetermined area or more may be drawn as in the first embodiment, and a stamp impression may be placed at the center point. Even in this case, the stamp imprint location can be selected.

The operation of tapping the display of the user's terminal may be omitted, and the stamp may be drawn immediately after the store number is input. In that case, it is advisable to arrange stamp imprints at predetermined locations.

[Modification of Embodiment]
As mentioned above, although this invention was demonstrated using embodiment, the technical scope of this invention is not limited to the range as described in the said embodiment. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications or improvements can be added to the above-described embodiment. It is apparent from the scope of the claims that the embodiments added with such changes or improvements can be included in the technical scope of the present invention.

  For example, in the above-described third embodiment, the case of using a coupon that can be used once per sheet as in the first embodiment has been described as an example. However, as in the second embodiment, one ticket is used. You may apply the operation at the time of the erase process of 3rd Embodiment to the erase in the stamp card which can press a some stamp.

  Moreover, when performing a consumption process according to the area of the closed curve drawn on the touch panel display, the user himself / herself may perform the consumption operation which draws a closed curve instead of the store staff.

  In addition, as described in the first embodiment, the incentive of the user is not reduced by the application process (that is, the coupon profit is extinguished). For example, the user incentive is obtained by pressing a stamp like a stamp rally. For those that increase the password (that is, those that give the user some rights or profits by stamping or accumulating stamps), unauthorized use becomes easier if the user can easily operate and stamp them. There is a fear. In order to prevent such unauthorized use, it is preferable that the seal can be made only when the mobile terminal is in a predetermined position or region. For example, when the mobile terminal has a position information grasping mechanism such as GPS, it is preferable to determine whether or not the seal is possible according to the position information of the mobile terminal. Also, for example, when the mobile terminal has a communication function based on Bluetooth (registered trademark), it is possible to place a seal only when a predetermined Bluetooth device is placed in an area where the seal is permitted and communication with the Bluetooth device can be confirmed. It is good to do. Further, it is preferable that an ultrasonic generator is arranged in an area where the seal is permitted and the seal is made possible only when the ultrasonic wave can be detected by the microphone included in the portable terminal. It is also possible to prevent unauthorized use more effectively by embedding a predetermined pattern or the like in the communication content or the ultrasonic wave in Bluetooth.
