Description

The present invention relates to an electronic ticket management system, an electronic ticket management server, an electronic ticket management method and a program.

For example, when a paper ticket is used as a ticket such as an admission ticket, a product voucher, a discount ticket, a coupon ticket, a gift certificate, or a coupon, information about the ticket is printed on paper. The printed ticket is sent to the user by, for example, mailing or handing over. When the user uses the ticket, for example, the user hands the ticket to the store staff, or the store staff tears off a part of the ticket, so that the ticket is in a used state. When it is necessary to aggregate information such as the number of tickets used and the date and time when the tickets were used, the aggregation is performed by the store or the like.

For example, when an electronic ticket is used as a ticket such as an admission ticket, the electronic ticket is displayed on a user terminal or the like using a WEB browser, an application, or the like. The display data of the electronic ticket is distributed from the distribution source to the user terminal by using, for example, an electronic mail or an SNS (Social Networking Service) application.
In an example of using an electronic ticket, the electronic ticket displayed on the user terminal is presented to the store staff or the like. In this example, since the store staff or the like cannot switch the electronic ticket to the used state, the used electronic ticket may be used illegally again.
In another example of using the electronic ticket, the use button included in the electronic ticket displayed on the touch panel of the user terminal is operated (for example, clicked) by the store staff or the like. In this example, although the electronic ticket can be switched to the used state by an operation of the store staff or the like, it is not possible to generate information about the store where the electronic ticket is used (information indicating which store the electronic ticket was used in).
In yet another example of using the electronic ticket, identification information such as a code included in the electronic ticket displayed on the user terminal is read by a reader installed in the store. In this example, reading the identification information switches the electronic ticket to the used state, and although information about the store where the electronic ticket is used is generated, it is necessary to install equipment such as a reader in the store, so it is a large system. Repair costs will be incurred.

Further, conventionally, an electronic ticket system whose operation is simplified has been known (see, for example, Patent Document 1). In the technique described in Patent Document 1, access information to the electronic ticket data is notified to the user terminal, and the electronic ticket data is transmitted to the user terminal in response to the access from the user terminal.
Further, in the technique described in Patent Document 1, a URL for downloading a barcode necessary for obtaining electronic ticket data is sent to a user terminal by a download URL description e-mail. Further, when the user operates the user terminal to access the URL, the barcode is downloaded to the user terminal.
By the way, when the URL is displayed on the user terminal in order for the user to access the URL, the URL must fit in the display screen of the user terminal (that is, the URL extends off the display screen of the user terminal). And), the user may find it difficult to operate the user terminal. Further, when the user finds it difficult to operate the user terminal, the user may feel that he / she does not want to use the electronic ticket.
