JP6813760B2 - Systems, methods and programs that process rights information - Google Patents

Description

The present invention relates to a system, method and program for processing rights information.

Conventionally, a system for processing tickets (event tickets, airline ticket tickets, etc.) using a mobile terminal such as a mobile phone has been known.

In a conventional ticket processing system, for example, ticket data is downloaded to a mobile terminal such as a smartphone by a ticket purchase process by a user.

Then, when passing through the entrance of the event or when passing through the gate of the boarding procedure at the airport, the ticket displayed on the screen of the smartphone is presented to the staff. This electronic ticket is read by the reader at the entrance. The computer checks this read information to confirm the validity of the ticket. The confirmation result of the validity of the ticket is displayed on the reading machine or a beeping sound, so that the confirmation of the validity of the ticket is fed back to the staff at the entrance. If the ticket is valid, the ticket owner will be able to pass through the entrance (gate) according to the instructions of the staff.

For example, the market size of live music events has continued to expand in recent years, and it has become important for both event operators and fans to improve the convenience of ticketing, distribution, and authentication, which are qualifications for participating in live events. There is. However, the following problems have arisen in ticketing, distribution and authentication.

(1) Counterfeit tickets As the value of tickets increases, there are increasing cases where counterfeit electronic tickets are used to illegally participate in events or sell genuine tickets to false fans. Especially in recent years, it may be difficult to judge whether or not the ticket is a counterfeit ticket due to the high performance of the screen shot function of the screen of copiers, scanners, cameras, mobile terminals, etc. and the spread to general households. ..

(2) Cost of Counterfeit Countermeasures As described above, as a countermeasure against counterfeiting and resale, so-called electronic tickets, in which tickets are issued by an electromagnetic method as described above instead of the face of paper, have also appeared. Specifically, there are a simple one that displays authentication information such as a QR code (registered trademark) on an electronic terminal, and one that uses an electronic terminal or a card incorporating an IC chip or the like. However, the former can be duplicated by an easy method such as copying / taking a picture / taking a screenshot as it is. Regarding the latter, it is necessary to incorporate a mechanism for realizing the security function on both the ticket side and the authentication device side, which incurs the cost of treating these devices.

(3) Tickets for popular live events are bought up by people and vendors for resale, and the original fans cannot participate or are forced to purchase from resellers at unreasonably high prices.

Also, for the event operator, the inability of the original fans to participate in the event means that the sales opportunities for the venue product sales, which is an important source of income for live events, are lost, and the customer satisfaction of the original fans is impaired. There is a profit.

(4) Loss of opportunity for users when resale is prohibited As an example of measures to deal with the problem (1) above, the event operator may prohibit resale of tickets. That is, the ticket obtained by reselling the ticket is completely invalid, and the fan who obtained the ticket by resale is refused to participate in the event.

However, even fans who really want to participate in the event may be forced to abandon their participation due to other schedules after purchasing the ticket. In that case, taking measures that the ticket cannot be transferred to a third party will waste the purchase price of the ticket, which may cause hesitation in purchasing the ticket.

Also, for the event operator, even if the ticket is purchased at an unreasonably high price, the participation of enthusiastic fans who wish to participate in the event will be refused, which will be disadvantageous.

As described above, in ticket issuance and distribution, there is a need for security technology that balances deterrence against counterfeiting and cost, and allows the operator to control ticket distribution as needed.

Conventionally, for example, a mobile terminal downloads an electronic ticket from a ticket management server, and the mobile terminal receives a signal from a signal transmitting device that unilaterally transmits a predetermined signal to the mobile terminal that has downloaded the electronic ticket. As a condition, the usage status of the electronic ticket is updated from "unused" to "used". Then, an updated icon indicating that the update has been made is displayed on the display unit. There is a technique in which the electronic ticket owner shows the updated icon to the venue staff, and the staff confirms the icon to allow admission (see Patent Document 1).

In addition, it is a program downloaded to the portable terminal device, and the first step of importing the ticket data downloaded from the server to the portable terminal device, and when a predetermined input operation is detected, an image corresponding to the ticket data is displayed on the screen. A predetermined input instruction is detected on the condition that a predetermined operation or a predetermined voice input is detected on the screen displaying the image in the second step and the predetermined step, and the predetermined input instruction is detected. Perform ticket authentication processing even in an environment where communication with the server is not possible by a program that has a third step of performing update processing that updates the status data indicating the usage history of the ticket data on condition that the input instruction is detected. There is a programming technology that can be used (see Patent Document 2).

It should be noted that "tickets" are used as an example of rights. In addition, in this specification, "electronic ticket (or electronic ticket)" is simply referred to as "ticket". A ticket is, for example, a legitimate owner who has the right, ownership, possession, etc. to receive the goods or services purchased in order to receive the goods or services that have been paid in advance. Contains general rights information to indicate that. Information on this right includes tickets, electronic data, images, colors, signals taken from devices such as IC chips, or electronic signals transmitted via media such as wired, radio, optical, and magnetic. It goes without saying that the information distributed using is included.

<Structure of the first embodiment>
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the configuration of the first embodiment. The first embodiment has a mobile terminal 100 and an authentication device 180, and the authentication device 180 includes a reception terminal 120 and a server device 130. In the first embodiment, the authentication device 180 is configured to include the reception terminal 120 and the server device 130, but it is convenient to separate the functions of the reception terminal 120 and the server device 130. Therefore, it is not limited to this configuration. Therefore, for example, in the authentication device 180, the reception terminal 120 may include all the functions of the server device 130. In this case, the server device 130 may be omitted. It should be noted that the flexibility regarding the arrangement of various functions as described above applies to all other embodiments.

The mobile terminal 100 has a first storage unit 102, a first string output unit 104, a clock generation unit 106, an authentication information generation unit 108, and an authentication information output unit 110.

The mobile terminal 100 may be a mobile phone, a music playback device, a tablet terminal, or the like.

The reception terminal 120 has an authentication information acquisition unit 122 and a notification unit 124.

The server device 130 includes a second string output unit 132, a clock generation unit 134, a string receiving unit 136, a decoding unit 138, a match detection unit 140, a second storage unit 142, a right information extraction unit 146, and an authentication result output unit 148. Has.

For example, a ticket for an event such as a concert contains information about the right to sit in a given seat at a concert venue. In this embodiment, the authentication device 180 can check the validity of the ticket for such a concert. The check result is notified by the reception terminal. If the validity of the ticket can be confirmed, the person holding the mobile terminal 100 can enter the concert venue, sit in a predetermined seat, and enjoy the concert.

<Operation of the first embodiment>
In FIG. 1, the authentication device 180 authenticates the right information existing in the mobile terminal 100, and for example, by notifying the authentication result, it is possible to know whether the right information existing in the mobile terminal 100 is legitimate right information. Can be done.

In the mobile terminal 100, the first string output unit 104 provides the first string to the authentication information generation unit 108, for example, by acquiring a time signal from the clock generation unit 106. The first string may be, for example, information obtained by truncating less than minutes of information on time (year, month, day, hour, minute, second). In this case, the first string is a string that is incremented every minute, and each of the plurality of sequentially generated strings is a string that is valid for one minute.

When the current time is 18:23:03 on October 11, 2020, for example, "2020101118203" may be output as a currently valid string. Alternatively, from "2020101118203", a predetermined algorithm may be used to generate different strings every minute. In this case, the valid time for each string is 1 minute. Another algorithm may be used to generate different strings every 30 seconds. In this case, the valid time of the string is 30 seconds.

In the first storage unit 102, for example, information for identifying a person holding the mobile terminal 100 (owner identification information) and information on a ticket purchased by that person are stored in association with each other. There is. Alternatively, the passenger of the airplane and the information of the air ticket may be stored in association with each other. The information that identifies the person holding the mobile terminal 100 is preferably information that can uniquely identify the person. By using such information, it can be used as information for identifying the owner of the ticket (owner identification information). For example, this information may be a personal number such as a telephone number of the mobile terminal 100 or a personal number associated with the person. By using information that can uniquely identify the person, or information that has such a function, it is possible to discover with high certainty that an extremely large number of tickets for the same event are being bought up. That is, when the number of ticket information for the same event is associated with the same owner identification information by a predetermined threshold value or more and is about to be stored in the first storage unit 102, the purchase of tickets by a specific person is carried out. You can discover in advance what is going to be done. The process related to buying up tickets will be described later.

The authentication information generation unit 108 has at least the owner identification information (for example, the telephone number of the mobile terminal 100) obtained from the first storage unit 102 and the currently valid currently valid unit provided by the first string output unit 104. Credentials are generated using strings. It is desirable that the authentication information generation unit generates authentication information by using, for example, an encryption algorithm. The authentication information is transmitted to the reception terminal as described later. The reason for encrypting the authentication information is that it is desirable to prevent the owner identification information and the like from being easily leaked from the authentication information.

The generated authentication information is provided to the authentication information output unit 110. The authentication information output unit 110 may display the authentication information on the display screen of the mobile terminal in the form of image information such as a barcode or a QR code (registered trademark), for example. Alternatively, the authentication information may be transmitted to the reception terminal 120 by using wireless communication such as Bluetooth (registered trademark), NFC (Near Field Communication), WIFI (wireless LAN), infrared communication, or the like.

The reception terminal 120 included in the authentication device 180 and the server device are connected by, for example, a network such as the Internet or a wireless or wired LAN.

The reception terminal 120 may be, for example, a mobile phone, a tablet, or the like.

The authentication information acquisition unit 122 may be a camera installed on the back surface of the mobile phone or tablet. The authentication information may be acquired by reading the barcode displayed on the screen of the mobile terminal 100 using this camera. The notification unit 124 may be, for example, a display screen and / or a speaker of a mobile phone or a tablet. The notification unit 124 has a function of notifying the operator of the reception terminal of the authentication result from the authentication result output unit 148 of the server device 130. The method of notification is not limited to these.

In the server device 130, the decoding unit 138 receives the authentication information acquired by the authentication information acquisition unit 122. When a plurality of encryption algorithms are used, information specifying the used encryption algorithm may also be received. Alternatively, when the encryption algorithm used in the mobile terminal 100 is upgraded, the version number may be received. In this case, when the mobile terminal 100 sends the authentication information, the mobile terminal 100 can also send the information specifying the encryption algorithm to the receiving terminal. In this case, the decryption unit 138 decrypts the authentication information by using an appropriate decryption algorithm corresponding to the encryption algorithm used. The information contained in the decrypted authentication information is used in the server device 130. The information to be decrypted includes at least the owner identification information and a valid first string.

The string receiving unit 136 acquires the timing at which the decoding unit receives the authentication information, and receives a valid second string from the second string output unit 132 based on the timing. The second string output unit outputs a second string that is valid for a certain period of time based on the time information from the clock generation unit 134. The received valid second string is sent to the match detector 140.

It is desirable that the first string output unit 104 and the second string output unit 132 are designed to output the same string having the same validity period based on the current time. Since the clock generation unit 106 used by the first string output unit 104 and the clock generation unit 134 used by the second string output unit 132 have different clocks, the times output by both are different. May have occurred. For example, when 1 minute is set as the valid period, the same valid string can be obtained from both of them at almost the same valid time during the 1 minute. Further, in the mobile terminal 100, the time required from the generation of the authentication information to the decoding of the authentication information by the decoding unit 138 is very short, so that the first effective first decrypted by the decoding unit. It is very likely that the string and the second string received will match. The match detection unit 140 in the server device checks whether or not the first string and the second string match, and outputs a match signal if they match.

Considering the difference in effective time, processing time, transmission time, etc. due to the use of different clock generators, for example, the authentication information is generated at the timing immediately before the valid time of the first string ends. In some cases, no match is detected. In consideration of this case as well, the match detection unit 140 compares the first string that was valid one before the decoded valid first string with the valid second string, and matches. When is detected, a matching signal may be output. Alternatively, the decrypted valid first string is compared with the second string that was valid one before the received second string, and if a match is detected, a match signal May be output.

If the match detection unit 140 does not detect a match, for example, it is highly possible that the barcode generated based on the output result of the authentication information generated in the past was copied and used, and the authentication information is valid. It can be judged that there is a high possibility that the information is copied rather than the information.

The output of the match detection unit 140 is provided to the authentication result output unit 148.

The second storage unit 142 stores ticket information, which is right information belonging to the owner, corresponding to the owner identification information.

The right information extraction unit 146 extracts the right information corresponding to the owner identification information from the second storage unit 142 by using the owner identification information decoded by the decoding unit 138. For example, the ticket information including the seat number of the concert S held at a specific date and time, which is associated with the owner identification information, is extracted.

The authentication result output unit 148 outputs the authentication result of the extracted ticket based on the result of the match detection unit 140. That is, when the match detection unit 140 does not detect a match, it is assumed that, for example, a barcode that is a copy of the screen of the mobile terminal 100 is displayed on the mobile terminal. In this case, it is highly possible that the ticket extracted from the second storage unit 142 does not belong to the owner of the mobile terminal 100. Therefore, in this case, it is determined that the person who owns the mobile terminal 100 is not the owner of the ticket, and the authentication result output unit 148 outputs a signal denying the authentication to the notification unit 124. ..

On the other hand, when the match detection unit 140 detects a match, the authentication information displayed on the screen of the mobile terminal 100 is likely to be legitimate authentication information. In this case, it is highly possible that the extracted ticket belongs to the owner of the mobile terminal 100. Therefore, in this case, it is determined that the person who owns the mobile terminal 100 is the owner of the ticket, and the authentication result output unit 148 outputs a signal affirming the authentication to the notification unit 124. ..

The notification unit 124 notifies the operator of the authentication result based on a positive signal or a negative signal from the authentication result output unit 148. As a method of notification, if it is affirmative, a screen of "entrance OK", "passable", or a blue color is displayed on the display unit of the reception terminal 120 to indicate that the authentication is successful. , It is possible to inform the operator that the authentication is successful by emitting a predetermined sound from the speaker. If the authentication result is negative, an "entrance NO", "impossible to pass", or a red screen is displayed on the display of the reception terminal 120 to indicate that the authentication is unsuccessful. , It is possible to inform the operator that the authentication was unsuccessful by emitting a predetermined beep sound from the speaker. Alternatively, the gate (not shown) may be automatically opened and closed based on the signal from the authentication result output unit 148.

When the authentication result output unit 148 outputs a positive authentication, the authentication result output unit 148 transfers the right to the right information stored in the second storage unit 142 corresponding to the extracted right information. It is desirable to set a flag indicating that it has been used. It can be seen that the right information for which this flag is set has already been used (the right has been exercised, that is, if it is a ticket, the used ticket).

The authentication result output unit 148 can prevent the right information for which this flag is set from being output to the notification unit 124 as having already been used. By doing so, it is possible to prevent the admission ticket from being illegally used multiple times.

It is desirable that the authentication result output unit 148 outputs an appropriate authentication result based on the right information extracted by the right information extraction unit 146. For example, when the extracted right information is a ticket for admission to a concert, an instruction is given to the notification unit to display "admission OK". For example, if the extracted right information is the right information indicating that the purchase price of a product such as "stuffed toy" has been paid in advance, the notification unit is instructed to display "provide one stuffed animal". You can try to give instructions.

Since the relationship between the ticket and the ticket owner is centrally managed by the server device 130, the ticket is forged even if the screen information of the ticket is illegally copied by taking a scooping shot of the ticket. It is not possible. Further, since the ticket cannot be used even if the mobile terminals having different telephone numbers are used, it is possible to prevent the ticket from being used illegally.

<Structure and operation of the second embodiment>
FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the configuration of the second embodiment. The same components as those in FIG. 1 are designated by the same reference numerals as those in FIG. In the second embodiment, an example is shown in which the information of the electronic ticket is included in the authentication information and sent from the mobile terminal 100 to the authentication device 180.

The main difference from the first embodiment shown in FIG. 1 is that the mobile terminal 100 includes the right information instruction unit 216, and the reception terminal 120 includes the right information type instruction unit 226. That is the point.

For example, assume the following situation. Regarding product C and product D that have already been paid online at the event Z venue, two tickets, a ticket for receiving the product C and a ticket for receiving the product D, are the mobile terminal 100 of the owner K at the event Z venue. It is assumed that the first storage unit 102 of the above is stored in correspondence with the owner identification information of the owner K.

It is assumed that the owner P wants to receive the product D just before returning because the product C is a small item and is first received at the event venue, and the product D is large. In this case, first, in response to the ticket for receiving the product C being selected by the owner K in the mobile terminal 100, the authentication information generation unit 108 from the first storage unit 102 is the owner K. The information of the receipt ticket of the product C corresponding to is taken out.

Then, the authentication information generation unit 108 can generate the authentication information by encrypting the owner identification information, the ticket information of the product C, and the valid first string. In this way, by adding the information of the receipt ticket of the product C to the authentication information, the information of the receipt ticket of the product C can be transmitted to the authentication device 180.

The right information type instruction unit 226 of the reception terminal 120 can specify, for example, what kind of event is being held at the place where the reception terminal 120 exists. For example, in response to the event Z being selected by the operator in the right information type instruction unit 226, the right information type instruction unit 226 tells the right information extraction unit 146 from the second storage unit to the event Z. The right information related to and related to the owner identification information obtained from the decoding unit is extracted from the second storage unit. The extracted right information is also sent to the match detection unit 140.

The match detection unit 140 includes the decrypted product C receipt ticket information and the first string, and the right information related to the owner identification information extracted from the second storage unit acquired from the right information extraction unit 146. Are compared respectively. When the matching right exists, the matching detection unit 140 outputs to the authentication result output unit that the information of the matching right matches.

The authentication result output unit 148 has the right to provide the product C to the owner P at the event Z based on the match information obtained from the match detection unit 140 and the right information obtained from the right extraction unit (for example, the right to provide the product C to the owner P at the event Z). (Based on the information), the notification unit 124 is instructed to notify that the product C is to be provided, and the notification unit 124 notifies that fact. Then, the authentication result output unit 148 sets a delivered flag to the second storage unit 142 for the right to deliver the product C related to the owner identification information, so that the plurality of products C are delivered. To prevent that.

If the second storage unit 142 does not store the right to provide the product C to the owner P, the match detection unit 140 sets the decrypted product C receipt ticket information and the right. Since the right information related to the owner identification information extracted from the second storage unit acquired from the information extraction unit 146 does not match, the authentication result output unit 148 does not provide the product C. The notification unit 124 is instructed to perform the notification, and the notification unit 124 notifies to that effect.

As described above, in the mobile terminal 100, when the owner has a plurality of rights, the right information instruction unit 216 can receive an instruction for selecting the right from the owner.

Further, by providing the right information type instruction unit 226 in the reception terminal 120, the operator is urged to instruct (select) what kind of rights the service can be provided in the vicinity of the reception terminal 120. be able to. For example, in the concert entrance area, when the reception terminal 120 is installed at the place where the concert ticket is checked, the operator gives instructions such as the concert name, date and time, and place as the concert identification information. It is desirable that the right information type instruction unit 226 receive it. By accepting such an instruction, appropriate rights information can be extracted from the second storage unit 142.

In the second embodiment, since the authentication information is generated by using the ticket information as well, unauthorized use of the ticket can be prevented more firmly.

<Structure and operation of the third embodiment>
FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the configuration of the third embodiment.

In the third embodiment, the first storage unit 102 and the second storage unit 142 have the right information and the place (area) where the right is used in association with the owner identification information such as the mobile phone number, respectively. It shall be remembered.

The mobile terminal 100 includes a position detection unit 318 and a communication control unit 319.

The reception terminal 120 includes a position detection unit 328.

The server device 130 includes a communication control unit 349.

The position detection unit 318 of the mobile terminal 100 detects the position information of the mobile terminal and provides the detected position information to the authentication information generation unit 108. Based on this location information, the authentication information generation unit 108 extracts the right information related to the location from the first storage unit 102, and uses this to generate the authentication information.

For example, assume that the owner presents a ticket for concert Y at a place where he / she enters concert Y. The position detection unit 318 gives the position information of the mobile terminal 100 to the authentication information generation unit 108. If the concert is held on different days, the position information and the right information related to the current time are acquired from the first storage unit by using the current date and time from the clock generation unit 106 of the concert. Credentials are generated using the rights information. By doing so, tickets for concerts held at appropriate locations and dates can be extracted and included in the credentials. The authentication information is passed to the decoding unit of the server device 130 via the authentication information acquisition unit 122 of the reception terminal 120. The decoding unit 138 passes the right information (information on the ticket for the concert) to the match detection unit 140.

The position detection unit 328 of the reception terminal 120 detects the position of the reception terminal 120, and passes the detected position information to the right information extraction unit 146. Similarly, the right information extraction unit 146 extracts the right information from the second storage unit 142 by using the current time and the owner identification information as necessary. The extracted right information is passed to the match detection unit 140.

The match detection unit 140 checks the right information as well as the string described in the first embodiment, and checks whether all match. The check result of the match detection unit 140 is given to the authentication result output unit 148.

Similar to the second embodiment, the authentication result output unit 148 checks the right information, and if it determines that the right information is legitimate, instructs the notification unit 124 to perform a positive notification. .. For example, if the strings match and the right information also matches, the notification unit performs a positive notification according to the content of the right information.

Specifically, if the owner of the mobile terminal 100 has a concert ticket to be held on a predetermined day near the positions of the mobile terminal 100 and the reception terminal 120, he / she is allowed to enter the concert venue. The notification unit 124 will notify the permission.

In FIG. 3, the first string output unit 104 acquires the second string from the second string output unit 132 via the communication control unit 319 and the communication control unit 349, and the acquired second string. May be used as the first string. By doing so, it is possible to easily synchronize the generation timings of both strings.

The communication control unit 319 and the communication control unit 319 are connected via an appropriate network such as the Internet. When the network connection is unstable or interrupted, the first string output unit 104 of the mobile terminal 100 may use the clock generation unit 106 as necessary. The process in which the first string output unit 104 acquires a string from the second string output unit 132 may be adopted in other embodiments already described.

<Structure and operation of the fourth embodiment>
FIG. 4 is a diagram showing the configuration of the fourth embodiment. Specifically, it is a figure which showed the structure of the embodiment in the case of buying a ticket or buying and selling a ticket at an auction or the like. FIG. 4 shows a configuration related to ticket purchase and ticket transfer.

The mobile terminal 420 has a first storage unit 102, an SMS communication control unit 424, and a ticket purchase / exhibition control unit 422.

Further, the sales / auction server device 400 has a second storage unit 142, an SMS communication control unit 402, a ticket sales control unit 404, and a ticket number check unit 408.

In order to buy and sell a ticket, it is desirable that the person who purchases the ticket has acquired an ID and a password as a member of the ticket buying and selling site operated under the sales / auction server device 400.

The SMS communication control unit 424 of the mobile terminal 420 performs SMS (Short Message Service) communication with the SMS communication control unit 424 of the sales / auction server device 400. SMS communication is, for example, a service for transferring a message in a text document or the like using a mobile phone number. Since a mobile phone number is used in SMS communication, due to the nature of the mobile phone number, the identity of a person who can use the mobile phone number is grasped relatively accurately. In the fourth embodiment, SMS is used, but as another communication mode, SNS (Social Networking Service) can be mentioned. SNS confirms the user's identity more slowly than SMS. In order to prevent the buying up of tickets, it is desirable to use communication that cannot easily transfer the account to another person. For this purpose, identification of the above SMS, for example, is relatively certain. It is possible to select a communication method that can confirm the identity according to the required level such as prevention of buying up tickets and prevention of counterfeiting. The mobile phone number of the mobile terminal can be specified by first performing SMS communication. By associating the specified mobile phone number with the ticket information, the owner of the mobile phone number can detect an act such as buying up the ticket in advance.

In addition to the mobile phone number, personal identification information uniquely assigned to an individual, such as my number, driver's license number, and health insurance card number, can also be used. If there is no means to read these personal identification information electronically, the operator will visually check the personal identification information when becoming a member of the ticket sales, and then carry it with him / herself. It can be used in terminals and the like.

<Purchase of tickets>
When purchasing a ticket, log in to the website managed by the sales / auction server device 400. After that, the ticket purchase / exhibition control unit 422 and the ticket sales control unit 404 communicate with each other to identify the ticket to be purchased based on the instruction of the owner of the mobile phone operating the mobile phone. Will be called.

When the ticket is specified, the SMS communication control unit 424 and the SMS communication control unit 402 perform SMS communication, so that the sales / auction server device 400 acquires the mobile phone number of the mobile terminal being operated.

The ticket sales control unit 404 uses the telephone number acquired by SMS communication to access the second storage unit 142 and checks the type and quantity of purchased tickets associated with the same telephone number. An instruction is given to the ticket number check unit 408 together with the information of the ticket to be purchased.

Based on this instruction, the ticket number check unit 408 checks the type and quantity of purchased tickets associated with the same telephone number, and the same type (such as the same concert ticket) as the ticket to be purchased. Check if the number of tickets in the above reaches a predetermined threshold. The ticket number check unit 408 transmits to the ticket sales control unit whether or not the number of tickets of the same type has reached a predetermined threshold value.

When the number of tickets reaches the threshold value, the ticket sales control unit 404 returns to the ticket purchase / exhibition control unit 422 that the same type of ticket cannot be sold any more. Then, the purchase procedure is completed.

Ticket buying and selling control unit 404, if the number of tickets has not yet reached the threshold value, a fact that can be sold the ticket of purchase hope, return to the ticket purchase and exhibition control unit 422. Then, when the settlement procedure is normally completed, the ticket sales control unit 404 gives the ticket purchase / exhibition control unit 422 permission to download the ticket.

When the ticket purchase / listing control unit 422 obtains the download permission, the ticket purchase / listing control unit 422 downloads the ticket from the sales / auction server device 400 and stores the ticket information in the first storage unit in association with the mobile phone number. .. Normally, one telephone number is assigned to the mobile terminal. In this case, the telephone number is stored in the storage unit, and the ticket is stored in the first storage unit in a form that does not correspond to the telephone number. Information may be stored.

When the download is normally performed, the ticket sales control unit 404 stores the information of the sold ticket in the second storage unit 142 in association with the telephone number.

In the fourth embodiment, information such as a telephone number is associated with the sold ticket and stored in the second storage unit 142 of the sales / auction server device 400 to prevent the ticket from being bought up. Can be prevented.

<Buying and selling tickets at auctions>
In a ticket auction or the like, the ownership of the ticket is not transferred before the auction is completed, but the ownership of the ticket is transferred when the auction is completed.

The transfer of ownership when the auction is completed is performed as follows, for example.

The sales / auction server device 400 centrally manages the location of the ownership of the ticket in association with the mobile phone number. Therefore, the transfer of ownership of the ticket is associated with the telephone number of the owner of the transfer source of the ticket in the second storage 142 of the sales / auction server device 400, the ownership of the ticket to the transfer destination of the ticket. Ownership of a ticket can be transferred by associating it with a person's phone number. At the same time, the ticket purchase / exhibition control unit 422 is instructed to delete the ticket information of the first storage unit 102 of the mobile terminal 420 of the transfer source, and the mobile terminal 420 of the transfer destination of the ticket is instructed. It is possible to send ticket information to the first storage unit 102 and instruct the ticket purchase / exhibition control unit 422 to store the ticket information in association with the telephone number of the purchaser in the first storage unit 102. desirable.

Since the tickets are centrally managed by the sales / auction server device 400, the transfer of ticket rights is not established even if invalid ticket information is sent and received between mobile terminals. Therefore, the ticket information held by the mobile terminal 420 is information for confirming the ticket information even when the mobile terminal is offline, and the attribution of the ticket is centrally managed. It is a sales / auction server device 400. Therefore, when the mobile terminal 420 is online, it is desirable to access the sales / auction server device 400 as necessary so that the ticket (right) owned by the mobile terminal 420 can be confirmed.

<Embodiment relating to ticket purchase>
FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an embodiment relating to the purchase of a ticket.

In step S802, it is checked whether the user has an account. If the user has an account (“Yes”), the process proceeds to step S806. If the user does not have an account (“No”), the process proceeds to step S804.

Account registration is performed in step S804. That is, the user ID, password, and the like are set.

In step S806, the mobile terminal succeeds in SMS authentication using the telephone number. If the SMS authentication is not successful (not shown), the subsequent processing (ticket sales) is not performed. The telephone number used by the ticket hoarding company may be stored in the blacklist. In order to prevent the buying up of tickets, the blacklist is checked, and if SMS authentication is performed by the phone number registered in the blacklist, it is controlled not to perform the subsequent processing (ticket sales). You may. User authentication other than SMS may be used.

In step S808, the procedure for purchasing the electronic ticket is performed. The user specifies a ticket for the desired concert and purchases the ticket. You may purchase multiple tickets. In this case, as described below, it is desirable to perform a process to prevent the purchase of tickets.

In step S810, it is checked whether the number of purchased tickets for the same event associated with the same telephone number exceeds the threshold value. If the check result is "Yes", there is a high possibility that the ticket has been bought up, so the process is terminated. If the check result is "No", the process proceeds to step S812.

In step S812, the electronic ticket purchase process is performed using the mobile terminal. Processing such as credit card payment is performed. If the payment is not completed (not shown), the subsequent processing (ticket sales) will not be performed.

In step S814, the mobile terminal is made to download the electronic ticket. The download may be started at an appropriate time or automatically based on the user's instructions. When the ticket is downloaded, the ticket information can be confirmed from the mobile terminal.

In step S816, the account of the server device is associated with the telephone number and the ticket information and saved. By performing this process, the ownership of the ticket belongs to the user corresponding to the telephone number.

It should be noted that the ticket downloaded to the user's mobile terminal 100 is not treated as electronic information to be bought and sold, and may be positioned to select a ticket to be used by the user or the like or to confirm the ticket information. desirable.

In addition, when it is necessary to change the correspondence between the ticket and the mobile number, such as when the user loses the mobile terminal or changes the mobile phone number, for example, after the user logs in, a new one is created. It may be dealt with by having the user perform a proper SMS authentication and have the procedure for reacquiring the ticket. By this procedure, the new mobile number is associated with the ticket.

It is also possible to resell the ticket using the above ticket reacquisition procedure, so for accounts or mobile numbers where ticket reacquisition procedures are frequently performed, the threshold value or higher The ticket re-acquisition procedure may be prohibited.

In addition, fan club members may be given incentives such as allowing advance sales of tickets by coordinating with accounts such as fan clubs of artists.

Further, the user belonging to the fan club may make settings such as different thresholds related to the purchase of tickets.

<Embodiment concerning resale of tickets at auction etc.>
FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an embodiment relating to resale of a ticket at an auction or the like.

Login is performed in step S902. If the login is successful, the process proceeds to step S904.

In step S904, the mobile terminal is used to succeed in SMS authentication using the telephone number. If the SMS authentication is successful, the process proceeds to step S906. If the SMS authentication is not successful (not shown), the subsequent processing is not performed.

In step S906, the selection of the electronic ticket in the mobile terminal and the click instruction of the listing button on the auction site are received. The instruction may be an operation such as tapping other than clicking. Since the SMS authentication is successful, the electronic ticket associated with the mobile phone number stored in the server device may be displayed on the mobile terminal to prompt the user to select the electronic ticket.

In step S908, the electronic ticket information registered in the account of the server device and the telephone number associated with the electronic ticket information are extracted.

In step S910, it is determined whether or not the electronic ticket information to be put up for auction exists in the account. If, in step S906, the electronic ticket associated with the mobile phone number stored in the server device is displayed on the mobile terminal and the user is prompted to select the electronic ticket, this check is not performed. May be good. If the check result is "yes", the process proceeds to step S912. If the check result is "No", the process ends.

In step S912, it is checked whether or not the telephone number corresponding to the electronic ticket information to be put up for auction matches the SMS-authenticated telephone number. If, in step S906, the electronic ticket associated with the mobile phone number stored in the server device is displayed on the mobile terminal and the user is prompted to select the electronic ticket, this check is not performed. May be good. If the check result is "Yes", the process proceeds to step S914. If the check result is "No", the process ends.

In step S914, the electronic ticket information to be put up for auction is deleted from the account of the server device. By this process, the ticket being put up for auction cannot be used by the user. It is desirable to save the account information, telephone number, and ticket association in the server device so that the ticket information can be restored if the auction is not successful.

In step S916, the electronic ticket information to be put up for auction is put up for sale on the auction site. For the exhibited tickets, the winning bidder is determined according to the auction procedure for a predetermined period. Once the winning bidder is determined, the process of assigning the ticket right to the winning bidder is performed. For this process, the same process as the ticket purchase process shown in FIG. 8 may be used.

FIG. 10 is a diagram showing a flow for ensuring the consistency between the encryption process and the decryption process.

For example, when the encryption algorithm is changed due to the leakage of the encryption algorithm, or when the version of the encryption algorithm is upgraded, the decryption algorithm of the server device can be changed to perform encryption and decryption. It is necessary to ensure consistency.

In step S1002, the server device receives the encryption method of the authentication information generation unit.

In step S1004, the server device decrypts the authentication information by using a decryption method corresponding to the encryption method of the authentication information generation unit.

By performing the above processing, the authentication information is appropriately deciphered in the server device. The encryption algorithm may be changed randomly. In this case, appropriate decryption can be performed by sending the identification information of the used encryption algorithm to the server device.

FIG. 11 is a diagram showing a specific mode of use of the mobile terminal, the reception terminal, and the server device.

An S concert ticket is stored in the mobile terminal 100. The contents of the S concert ticket are displayed on the mobile terminal 100 (1102). Then, the authentication information is displayed on the screen of the mobile terminal 100 by the QR code 1104 (registered trademark).

The reception terminal 120 is communicably connected to the server device 130 via a network 1108 such as the Internet.

The reception terminal 120 uses a rear camera to image the mobile terminal 100, and the captured image is displayed on the screen of the mobile terminal 100 (1100). The reception terminal 120 reads the imaged QR code (registered trademark) of the mobile terminal 100 and transmits it to the server device 130.

The server device 130 decodes the authentication information sent from the mobile terminal via the QR code (registered trademark) by using the decoding algorithm according to various embodiments already described. The server device 130 inspects the decrypted authentication information and returns the authentication result to the reception terminal 120. When the ticket is authenticated by the authentication information, for example, "Admission OK" (1106) is displayed on the display screen of the reception terminal 120. Based on this display, the operator of the reception terminal permits the owner of the mobile terminal 100 to enter the concert venue.

FIG. 12 is a diagram showing an example of displaying a barcode including authentication information.

The horizontal axis indicates the time axis, the origin is time 0, and a scale is attached every minute. A QR code (registered trademark) is shown as an example of a barcode. The QR code 1202 (registered trademark) is displayed only for 1 minute from time 0. After 1 minute, a different QR code 1204® will be displayed for 1 minute from 1 minute to 2 minutes. After that, similarly, different QR codes 1206, 1208, 1210 (registered trademark) are sequentially displayed for 1 minute each.

In this way, the display of the valid QR code (registered trademark) changes every minute, so that the ticket cannot be forged by copying the screen of the mobile terminal 100 with a screenshot and using it. This is because the copied QR code (registered trademark) is valid for only one minute, and then becomes an invalid QR code (registered trademark).

In this way, by sequentially changing the valid QR code (registered trademark), it is possible to effectively prevent forgery of the ticket by copying the screen of the mobile terminal 100.

FIG. 13 is a diagram showing an example of information stored in the first storage unit 102 and the second storage unit 142.

FIG. 13A shows an example of information stored in the first storage unit 102. The telephone number 1302 and the ticket 1 (1304) and the ticket 2 (1306) are stored in the first storage unit 102. The telephone number is the telephone number of the mobile terminal 100. Normally, one telephone number is assigned to the mobile terminal, so that only one telephone number is stored in FIG. 13A. In the case of the mobile terminal 100 that can use a plurality of telephone numbers, even if the telephone number used for SMS authentication at the time of purchasing the ticket is stored in association with the ticket by corresponding to each of the ticket 1 and the ticket 2. Good. Other information is stored in the first storage unit 102.

FIG. 13B shows an example of information stored in the second storage unit 142.

The telephone number 1314 and the electronic ticket 1316 are stored in association with the user ID (1312). In addition, in order to accept the login process, there is also an area for storing the relationship between the ID and the password (not shown).

It goes without saying that the above-mentioned information stored in the first storage unit 102 and the second storage unit 142 is an example, and various information can be stored in association with each other.

FIG. 15 is a diagram showing another embodiment for changing the owner of a ticket.

For example, if one mobile terminal stores tickets that allow multiple people to enter the same event, some of the tickets (for example, admission tickets for one person) are moved to another mobile terminal. There is a need for one of them to enter the same event using the other mobile terminal. Alternatively, for example, when a person who purchased one ticket is ill and cannot participate in the event, he / she suddenly moves the ticket to another person's mobile terminal and uses the other person's terminal. , There is a need for the other person to enter the event. In such a case, there is a case where it is desired to move the ticket from one mobile terminal to the other mobile terminal by a simple method without giving or receiving money.

The embodiment shown in FIG. 15 shows an example for dealing with such needs.

In step S1502, one mobile terminal receives an instruction from the operator to select a ticket.

In step S1504, one mobile terminal receives an instruction of the telephone number of the other party to which the instructed ticket is sent.

In step S1506, one mobile terminal sends the telephone number of one mobile terminal, the telephone number of the other party, and ticket information to the server device.

In step S1508, it is determined whether the number of changes of the owner of the selected ticket exceeds the threshold value. In this determination, if the number of changes in the owner of the selected ticket exceeds a predetermined threshold value, it can be determined that the ticket is likely to be resold, for example. Therefore, in such a case, it is possible not to allow the change of ownership of the selected ticket. If this decision is "yes", the process ends and the owner of the selected ticket cannot be changed. If this determination is "no", the process proceeds to step S1510.

In step S1508, it was determined whether the number of changes of the owner of the selected ticket exceeds the threshold value, but this is an example and is not limited to this determination. For example, when a plurality of tickets exist in one terminal, the process of moving the tickets may be prohibited in the case of the process of moving all the tickets to the other terminal. That is, at least one ticket may be restricted from moving so that it cannot be moved. That is, when all the purchased tickets are moved, it is highly likely that the purpose is to resell the tickets. Therefore, such processing may be restricted. In addition, if there is a high possibility that the ticket will be moved for the purpose of reselling the ticket, restrictions may be appropriately added.

In step S1510, it is determined whether the telephone number of the other party is registered in the server device. The fact that the telephone number is registered in the server device means that the user is registered in the server device by the ID and password. In this way, when the telephone number is already registered, it is possible to take into consideration information such as whether the owner of the telephone number is a trader whose purpose is resale. If the determination result is "No" in step S1510, it means that the telephone number is an unknown telephone number and the telephone number of a person who has not been registered as a user, so that the process may be terminated. If the determination result is "Yes", the process proceeds to step S1512. In the case of the embodiment of FIG. 15, if the telephone number is registered in the server device, the process proceeds uniformly to step S1512, but it turns out that the telephone number is the telephone number of the reseller. If so, the process may be terminated.

In step S1512, the server device performs SMS communication with the other party's telephone number and, for example, sends a URL to the other mobile terminal.

In step S1514, the other mobile terminal accesses the URL and obtains the ticket based on the instruction of the other party.

In step S1516, the server device associates the other party's telephone number with the selected ticket. This process transfers ownership of the ticket.

In step S1518, the server device invalidates the ticket for one of the mobile terminals. Tickets are centrally managed by the server device. Therefore, the ticket existing in the mobile terminal is positioned as information for enabling the user to grasp the contents of the ticket and select the ticket to be used even when the mobile terminal is offline. be able to. Therefore, if the mobile terminal is in an environment in which the server device can be accessed, the server device can be accessed and the ticket associated with the mobile terminal can be accurately confirmed. Therefore, it is not always necessary to invalidate the ticket on one terminal.

As described above, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 15, tickets can be exchanged between terminals without undergoing financial transfer. In this case as well, the transfer of ownership of the ticket, which is appropriate for the user, can be realized by providing the check function for preventing the resale of the ticket as described above.

Further, by executing the program code read by the computer, not only the function of the above-described embodiment is realized, but also other programs such as the OS running on the computer can be executed based on the instruction of the program code. Needless to say, the present invention also includes a case where a part or all of the actual processing is performed and the function of the embodiment is realized by the processing.

In addition, each component of each embodiment may be realized by a plurality of physically separated hardware. In addition, each component of each of the various embodiments of the present invention may be distributed and realized in a plurality of virtual machines operating on one computer.

By providing the ticket service using this technology, the following effects can be expected.

By realizing the discovery / authentication function of tickets with anti-counterfeiting functions, which tend to be expensive, with mobile terminals such as smartphones, which are widely used, it is possible to provide services at low cost.

In ticket authentication, by generating authentication information based on constantly changing information such as time, the authentication information is always updated automatically and easily. In addition, even if the authentication information is generated by an unauthorized means such as the authentication information generation logic leaking out, by updating the application and changing the generation logic, measures can be taken immediately and at no cost. Is possible.

Since the authentication information is managed by the system operator in a state of being linked with the user information, the ticket can be transferred under the control of the system operator. Tickets can be transferred simply by changing the user information associated with the ticket authentication information. Therefore, unlike the case of a ticket on the face of a ticket, it does not take time to issue and deliver it, and it can be transferred immediately before or on the day of the event, and there is a possibility that the ticket can be transferred to a third party. Can be enhanced.

By centrally managing the authentication information by the system operator, the system operator is free to decide whether or not to transfer the ticket and the conditions for permitting the transfer (for example, the range of the transfer price, the qualifications and attributes of the transferee). Can be controlled. Therefore, tickets can be distributed only within the range permitted by the system operator or the event operator.

For example, we allow only the transfer of artists who appear in the event to fan club members, or allow the fixed price of the ticket to be transferred to a third party with a premium within the range approved by the event operator, and a certain percentage of the premium. Can be collected as a fee.
