  The present invention relates to a portable communication terminal device, a provider terminal device, a management server device, and a program used to use value information such as an electronic ticket and electronic money.

  In recent years, along with the improvement and popularization of portable communication terminal devices such as smartphones, tablet-type information communication terminal devices and mobile phones, the value of monetary value such as information and electronic money to be bought and sold, such as electronic tickets, etc. The use of information (hereinafter referred to as “value information”) is also widespread.

  For example, when a ticket for entering an event such as a concert is used as value information, value information corresponding to an electronic ticket (hereinafter referred to as “electronic ticket”) is downloaded to a portable communication terminal device. It can be used in the same way as a physical ticket by displaying it on a portable communication terminal device and presenting it to an attendant at a predetermined place such as an event venue.

  When using this type of value information, it is necessary to appropriately manage the value information to prevent unauthorized use such as multiple use or falsification of the value received. For example, the value of electronic tickets, electronic coupons, etc. There is a need to ensure that the value information is already used when the information is used, and to invalidate the use of the same value information.

  Therefore, recently, in order to accurately grasp the use of value information such as an electronic ticket, a predetermined input operation (a touch pattern on a touch panel display panel for displaying value information) is input when using the value information. A method for making the value information already used (a method for breaking an electronic ticket) has been proposed (for example, Patent Document 1).

  In addition, a digital stamp (hereinafter referred to as “electronic stamp”) having a predetermined number of contact members provided at predetermined positions with respect to a touch panel display panel has been put into practical use.

  For example, as such an electronic stamp, when value information is used by a portable information processing terminal device, a predetermined number of contact points are placed on a predetermined position on a touch panel display panel of the portable information processing terminal device. What has a contact member for making it contact is known (for example, patent documents 2).

  The following embodiment is for causing a user to use value information such as an electronic ticket. In the following embodiments, a stamp unit that provides a digital stamp (hereinafter simply referred to as an “electronic stamp”) to a portable communication terminal device of a user, and a management server device that manages the use of value information And a portable communication terminal device, a provider terminal device, a program, and a management server device according to the present invention.

[1] Electronic Ticket Management System [1.1] Outline of Electronic Ticket Management System First, the outline and configuration of the electronic ticket management system 1 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.

  FIG. 1 is a system configuration diagram showing the configuration of the electronic ticket management system 1 in the present embodiment, and FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an outline of each process executed in the electronic ticket management system 1 of the present embodiment. is there.

  Further, in order to prevent the figure from becoming complicated, only some users and facilities are shown in FIG. That is, in the actual electronic ticket management system 1, there are a larger number of portable communication terminal devices 10, facility communication terminal devices 40, and stamp units 50 than those shown in FIG.

  The electronic ticket management system 1 according to the present embodiment electronically provides a user with tickets as value information necessary for viewing or watching a concert, theater, or sport as data (hereinafter referred to as “ticket data”). This is a system that manages the use of electronic tickets (ie, electronic tickets).

  In particular, the electronic ticket management system 1 of the present embodiment not only electronically stamps an electronic stamp (hereinafter referred to as “electronic stamp”) when using the electronic ticket, but also provides an electronic ticket provided as data. The system is configured to limit the use conditions for the regular use and the proper use in association with the terminal device that is normally used by the provider or administrator of the electronic ticket.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 1, the electronic ticket management system 1 of the present embodiment includes a plurality of portable communication terminal devices 10 used by a user and a plurality of facilities F existing in real space. A stamp unit 50 that electronically stamps (hereinafter referred to as “electronic stamp”) when using an electronic ticket, a facility communication terminal device 40 that controls the stamp unit 50, and a portable communication terminal The management server apparatus 60 connected via the network 20 with the apparatus 10 and the communication terminal apparatus 40 for facilities is provided.

  In general, when an electronic ticket provided as data is used as a substitute for a physical ticket such as a paper medium (hereinafter referred to as “medium ticket”), it is separated into the medium ticket as a proof of use of the ticket. Work such as separation of a portion (so-called stub) that can be formed (that is, cutting work) cannot be performed.

  Therefore, for example, in order to prevent unauthorized use of an electronic ticket, such as the use of the same ticket multiple times or the loss of ticket data due to an erroneous operation, it is necessary to take some measures.

  Usually, in order to determine the use of an electronic ticket, in a terminal device that presents the information as an image, the displayed electronic ticket is stamped with an electronic stamp in which the number of contact points and the position of each contact point are defined in advance. And the authentication is executed.

  However, if the number of contact points at the time of stamping and the position of each contact point are the same, there is no need to execute using a specific electronic stamp, so the number of contact points and the position of each contact point are impersonated. It is also assumed that. In particular, even if there is no improper intention, it is assumed that the number of contact points at the time of stamping and the position of each contact point become the same due to an erroneous operation.

  Further, if fraud is performed using a regular electronic stamp, it is impossible to detect that the use of the electronic ticket is illegal.

  As described above, in the above situation, the safety and reliability of the electronic ticket are impaired, and it is difficult to use the ticket for an expensive ticket or a ticket that is difficult to obtain.

  On the other hand, when there is no legitimate stamp unit for imprinting an electronic stamp in the vicinity of the terminal device that displays the image of the electronic ticket, it is used illegally or erroneously as described above. Can be assumed.

  In particular, the electronic stamp is provided by the provider or administrator of the electronic ticket. Therefore, the electronic stamp may be installed under the monitoring of the provider or administrator, and can be easily managed and complicated for the user. There is no burden on the work.

  Therefore, the electronic ticket management system 1 according to the present embodiment not only recognizes the number of contact points on the display panel and their positions, but also applies the stamp when the portable communication terminal device 10 is stamped with an electronic stamp. If there is no specific condition such as when a communication line cannot be established with the stamp unit 50 used in the case, it is determined that it is illegal use or erroneous operation, and disadvantages based on illegal use or erroneous operation of ticket data are prevented. Be able to.

In particular, in this embodiment,
(1) Communication with the stamp unit 50 is performed according to a short-range wireless communication standard such as Bluetooth (registered trademark), and the portable communication terminal device 10 is used in the vicinity of the stamp unit 50 (that is, a communicable proximity distance). If a communication line is established,
(2) Data indicating that the ticket data for determining that the ticket data is properly used by the constructed communication line (hereinafter referred to as “ticket use data”) is used as the portable communication terminal device 10. Provided to the stamp unit 50, or
(3) Notification indicating that ticket use data is provided from the portable communication terminal device 10 to the stamp unit 50 via the constructed communication line and that the physical ticket use data is received from the stamp unit 50 (Hereinafter referred to as “stamp communication success notification”) is transmitted to the portable communication terminal device 10,
It is determined that regular use is assumed to have a predetermined condition.

  And by having such a structure, the electronic ticket management system 1 of this embodiment increases the difficulty of unauthorized use of an electronic ticket, and prevents the invalidation of the electronic ticket easily accompanying an erroneous operation, As a result, the safety and reliability of electronic tickets provided electronically can be improved.

  On the other hand, when managing value information electronically such as an electronic ticket, not only is the value information exchanged between the service provider and the service recipient, but also the settlement process and the issuer of coupons as value information, etc. If it is executed through a third party, the use confirmation is executed so as to be clear not only to the timing of using the value information but also to the third party such as subsequent settlement, refund or settlement. It is necessary to

  In particular, when extinction due to unauthorized use or misoperation occurs, it is necessary to perform restrictions based on unauthorized use of the electronic ticket, or to refund or reissue the electronic ticket. Since it is difficult to certify only by exchanging data with the communication terminal device 40, the electronic ticket cannot be refunded or reissued easily.

  For example, in the case of unauthorized use such as double use, it is necessary to stop the service promptly, as well as to quickly reissue electronic tickets such as concerts and sporting events and electronic events in tens of thousands of people In refunding a ticket, it is necessary to quickly and easily determine the usage status of the electronic ticket.

  Therefore, in the electronic ticket management system 1 of the present embodiment, the portable communication terminal device 10 on the user side that uses the electronic ticket in the management server device 60, and the facility on the provider or administrator side that approves the use of the electronic ticket The ticket usage data is acquired from each of the communication terminal devices 40 and the electronic ticket usage management process including the determination process for determining the coincidence is executed to easily and quickly confirm the usage of the electronic ticket.

This is recorded in the electronic ticket DB 332 under the control of the management control unit 351.

[6] Operation of Electronic Ticket Management System [6.1] Electronic Ticket Usage Processing Next, electronic ticket usage processing in the portable communication terminal device 10 of the present embodiment will be described using FIG. In addition, FIG. 12 is a flowchart which shows the electronic ticket utilization process performed in the portable communication terminal device 10 of this embodiment.

  In this operation, it is assumed that various types of information illustrated in FIGS. 9 and 10 have been recorded in the user management DB 331 and the electronic ticket DB 332 of the management server device 60.

  Further, it is assumed that ticket data or the like has been downloaded to the portable communication terminal device 10 and the data illustrated in FIG. 7 has been recorded in the ticket management recording unit 162.

  First, in the portable communication terminal device 10, the electronic ticket management unit 194 first waits for an input instruction to the operation unit 170 while displaying a predetermined home screen on the display unit 140 in conjunction with the display control unit 150. It is in a state (step S101).

  Next, when a display instruction input specifying one electronic ticket is detected by the operation unit 170 (step S101), the electronic ticket management unit 194 stores ticket data corresponding to the electronic ticket specified by the user in the ticket management record. The data is read from the unit 162 and expanded in the ROM / RAM 163 (step S102).

  Next, the electronic ticket management unit 194 determines whether or not the usage status management information corresponding to the electronic ticket has been used (step S103). If it is determined that the usage status management information has been used, End the operation.

  When the electronic ticket management unit 194 determines that the usage state management information corresponding to the electronic ticket has been used, the electronic ticket management unit 194 causes the display unit 140 to display the fact in conjunction with the display control unit 150.

  On the other hand, if the electronic ticket management unit 194 determines that the usage state management information corresponding to the electronic ticket is not used, that is, if it is determined that the usage state management information is “unused”, the display The electronic ticket data is supplied to the control unit 150, the corresponding electronic ticket is displayed on the display unit 140, and the process proceeds to a state of waiting for the stamping by the stamp unit 50 (step S104).

  The electronic ticket management unit 194 forcibly terminates the operation when the operation unit 170 detects a user instruction to end the display of the electronic ticket.

  Next, when the stamp unit 50 is brought into contact with the display unit 140, the stamp detection processing unit 192 detects the number of contact points of the stamp unit 50 with respect to the display unit 140 and the position of the contact point on the display panel. (Step S105), the electrons used for contact (ie, imprinting) while specifying the relative position of each contact point based on the number of contact points acquired and the position of each contact point on the display unit 140 The type of stamp (ie, stamp ID) is specified (step S106).

  When the stamp ID is specified, the electronic ticket management unit 194 specifies the stamp image based on the specified stamp ID in conjunction with the display control unit 150, and displays the specified stamp image on the display unit 140. Is displayed superimposed on the ticket image.

  Next, the authentication processing unit 193 compares the identified stamp ID with the stamp ID recorded in the ROM / RAM 163 to determine whether or not the stamp unit 50 corresponds to the electronic ticket (that is, the stamp First authentication is performed to determine whether or not the IDs match (step S107). If it is determined that the first authentication has failed, that fact is displayed (step S110) and the operation is terminated. .

  If the first authentication fails, the authentication processing unit 193 interlocks with the display control unit 150 and causes the display unit 140 to display that effect.

  If it is determined that the first authentication is successful, the authentication processing unit 193 generates a date / time information indicating the current date / time by outputting a control signal to the timer 130 (step S108).

  Next, the authentication processing unit 193 starts processing for establishing a communication line with the stamp unit 50, and determines whether or not the communication line has been established (step S111).

  At this time, if it is determined that the communication line could not be established, the authentication processing unit 193 indicates that the second authentication has failed (step S110), terminates this operation, and establishes the communication line. If it is determined that it has been completed, the process proceeds to step S112.

  Next, the authentication processing unit 193 generates ticket usage data including the user ID corresponding to the user of the own device, the ticket ID recorded in the ROM / RAM 163, and the generated date / time information (step S112).

  Next, the authentication processing unit 193 transmits the ticket use data generated via the short-range wireless communication unit 120 to the stamp unit 50 and waits for reception of a communication success notification transmitted from the stamp unit 50 within a predetermined time. The state is shifted (step S113).

  When the stamp unit 50 establishes a communication line with the portable communication terminal device 10 and receives the ticket use data, the stamp unit 50 transmits the communication success notification to the portable communication terminal device 10 that has established the communication line.

  Next, when the electronic ticket management unit 194 receives the stamp communication success notification transmitted from the stamp unit 50 via the short-range wireless communication unit 120 within a predetermined time (step S114), the authentication processing unit 193 performs the second authentication. The usage status management information recorded in the ticket management recording unit 162 as “successful” is changed to “used” to invalidate the use of the electronic ticket (step S115).

  In the process of step S114, if the electronic ticket management unit 194 does not receive the stamp communication success notification transmitted from the stamp unit 50 within a certain period of time, the electronic ticket management unit 194 displays a message indicating that the second authentication has failed ( Step S110) This operation is terminated.

  Finally, the electronic ticket management unit 194 transmits the ticket use data generated via the network communication unit 110 to the management server device 60 (step S116), and ends this operation.

[6.2] Electronic Ticket Usage Management Processing Next, electronic ticket usage management processing executed in the management server device 60 of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing an electronic ticket use management process executed in the management server device 60 of this embodiment.

  Next, the ticket usage control unit 353 uses the same ticket usage as the user ID and the ticket ID extracted from the ticket usage data transmitted from the portable communication terminal device 10 and recorded in the user management DB 331 as ticket usage data. The presence / absence of data is determined (S303).

  At this time, if the ticket usage control unit 353 determines that there is no ticket usage data identical to the extracted user ID and ticket ID, the ticket usage control unit 353 terminates this operation as an error process, and extracts the extracted user ID and ticket. If it is determined that there is ticket use data identical to the ID, the process proceeds to step S304.

  Next, based on the extracted user ID and ticket ID, the ticket usage control unit 353 uses the management ticket usage data transmitted from the portable communication terminal device 10 and the authentication ticket usage transmitted from the facility communication terminal device 40. It is determined whether the data matches (step S304).

  Specifically, the ticket usage control unit 353 has the date / time information of the management ticket usage data, the same user ID and ticket ID as the ticket usage data, and the authentication usage information transmitted from the facility communication terminal device 40. It is determined whether the date and time information of the ticket usage data matches.

With the configuration, it is possible to reliably prevent unauthorized use and prevent invalidation of value information due to an erroneous input by the user.

  In this case, for example, the issuer and the facility operator (that is, the manager) may be different for gold vouchers, gift certificates, shopping vouchers, and the like. For example, a voucher or the like is issued by a credit card company as a credit card privilege, and the voucher is used at a facility F that is a restaurant.

  When the issuers and the like are different in this way, it becomes necessary for the issuer of the voucher to pay money to the operator of the facility F after using the voucher, but the user management DB 331 of the management server device 60 Since the ticket usage status information is stored in the card, the issuer of the cash voucher or the like can easily specify the correct payout amount.

  Further, when a predetermined number or more of stamps are stored, unauthorized use or the like can be surely prevented with a similar configuration with respect to a service in which some kind of privilege (such as a free ticket present) is given.

[7.2] Modification 2
Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the structure which provides the stamp unit 50 separately from the communication terminal device 40 for facilities was employ | adopted, it is made to comprise the stamp unit 50 as a part of the communication terminal device 40 for facilities. Also good.

[7.3] Modification 3
In the above-described embodiment, a configuration in which the user management DB 331, the electronic ticket DB 332, and the facility management DB 333 are provided in the management server device 60 is adopted. You may make it do.

[7.4] Modification 4
In the management server device 60 of the above embodiment, in the use confirmation of the electronic ticket, the unauthorized use of the electronic ticket is determined based on the user ID, the ticket ID, and the use date and time. Ticket usage data usage confirmation may be performed more strictly using information recorded in the facility management DB 333 in the ticket usage data, for example, the unit ID of the stamp unit 50 and the facility ID.

  For example, the ticket usage control unit 353 may determine whether or not to use an appropriate electronic stamp based on the facility ID, unit ID, and facility location information included in the ticket usage data. That is, the facility ID and unit ID included in the ticket use data, the location information of the facility, the presence / absence thereof, whether or not each data recorded in the facility management DB 333 matches, or both are determined, and the appropriate electronic It may be determined whether or not the stamp is used.
