Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to an event information management system and an event card.

[Conventional technology]

Recently, there has been an increase in the number of events being held, but the current situation is that there is still no efficient system for managing information about these types of events.

In other words, as an event organizer, 10. Accurately understanding the number of visitors, usage status of each pavilion, congestion level, etc. is necessary for smooth event management and post-event processing. There is a problem in that the pamphlets distributed are extremely bulky, making it difficult to organize them after the fact.

Regarding the management of event attendees, it is already known that so-called barcodes are used to manage attendees, but barcodes directly display the attendee's serial number and provide ID information for the attendee. However, it was difficult to efficiently and smoothly monitor the usage status of each pavilion, the degree of congestion, etc. Furthermore, it was completely impossible to meet the above-mentioned problems on the visitor's side.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to solve the problems of the prior art described above and to provide an event information management system and an event card that are convenient for both event organizers and attendees.

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to achieve the above object, the event information management system of the present invention installs a host computer at a suitable location within an event venue, and also installs the host computer inside the entrance, inside the exit, and at each pavilion or corner of the venue. A terminal installed inside the entrance of the venue records the [D information on the event card made of an optical card, and a terminal installed in each pavilion or corner records the ID information recorded on the event card. The event information such as pamphlets and commemorative photos at each pavilion or corner is read and recorded on the event card, the ID of the event card is invalidated by the terminal at the exit section, and the ID of the event card is disabled by the host computer from each terminal. The event card of the present invention is characterized in that it is possible to grasp the number of visitors, the situation of the venue, etc. based on the information of
an ID area for displaying visual information regarding an event on a part of an optical card including a substrate and an optical recording medium provided on the substrate, and recording ID information in a recording area of the card; The system is characterized by providing a number of areas corresponding to each pavilion or corner and used by visitors to record pamphlets, commemorative photos, etc. for each pavilion or corner.

Note that each area on the event card is set in advance, and information necessary for use is recorded therein in a preformatted form.

It is also possible to make the frame of each area visually visible.

The number of visitor use areas is provided corresponding to the number of pavilions.

The storage capacity of the event card is 0.5M to 50M.
The storage capacity of the ID5Ji area and the visitor use area is approximately 10 bytes to 49.9 Mbytes and IK to 50 Mbytes, respectively.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, more specific configurations of the present invention will be explained based on examples.

FIG. 1 is a drawing showing an embodiment of the event information management system of the present invention.

In FIG. 1, a host computer is installed at the organizer's secretariat headquarters in the event venue. Furthermore, inside the two entrances of the venue, - inside the two exits, A
, B, and C are each equipped with a reception desk and a terminal DTE for the host computer. The terminal that was sent is the Bandan terminal, A,
B.

Use the terminals installed in each pavilion in C to
"Bu" L (says).

When a visitor enters from the two entrances of the venue, an event car consisting of an optical card is issued to the visitor at the reception inside the entrance, and the event card is issued to the visitor using an entrance terminal. I of the person who entered the
After filling in the D information, that is, the names, ages, occupations, etc. of the attendees, an event card on which the ID information has been written is handed to the attendees.

Visitors who receive an event card can freely select and enter each pavilion. That is, if an visitor enters Pavilion C, he or she first submits his or her event card to the Pavilion C reception desk. At the reception, after confirming that the event card submitted by terminal C is the event card of the visitor registered by the entrance terminal, it is returned to the visitor and the visitor is allowed to enter inside Pavilion C. Recognize.

After viewing the inside of Pavilion C as appropriate, visitors should enter Pavilion C.
When exiting from Pavilion C, visitors must submit their event card to the reception desk again, and the reception desk will record the necessary information using terminal C. Visitors can also submit their event card to the reception desk at Pavilion C, if necessary. You can request additional information at Pavilion C, such as pamphlets, commemorative photos, etc., to be recorded on your event card.Reception will use the C terminal to record the requested information. This is to record the following information.

It should be noted that the various additional information does not need to be prepared in the form of paper that can be distributed within the venue, and may be displayed on a display board or the like provided at an appropriate location within Pavilion C, for example.

When an attendee finishes viewing the event and leaves the event venue, he or she submits his or her event card to the reception desk inside the exit, and at the reception desk, the exit terminal records the necessary records regarding this card. At the same time, the ID is invalidated to make re-entry impossible.

On the other hand, at the organizer's secretariat headquarters, a host computer installed at the headquarters stores the number of visitors, usage status of each pavilion in the venue, degree of congestion, and various additional information based on information from each terminal. It is used to grasp information necessary for event operation, such as the provision status of events, and information necessary for post-event processing.

Furthermore, the visitor may use a terminal (see the lower left diagram in Figure 1) and a display device installed individually at an appropriate location such as the visitor's home or the company to which he or she belongs, as necessary. This is to reproduce the additional information of the event recorded on the event card.

FIG. 2 is a drawing showing an embodiment of the event card of the present invention used in the event information management system shown in FIG.

In FIG. 2, numeral 1 is an event card with a storage capacity of 1 Mbyte, which is made of an optical card as an information recording medium, and has a thickness of 0.8 mm, and a record made of optical recording material on a cash card-sized substrate according to the JIS standard. Area 2 and
It has a non-recording area 3.

In the non-recording area 3 of the event card 1, xxxxxxxxxxx such as event name, year of event, organizer, etc. are displayed as visual information regarding the event. Furthermore, in the recording area 2 of the event card l, a byte IDjJ area X is provided in the storage capacity 10 for recording ID information;
An area A for visitors with a storage capacity of 500, 200, and 200 Kbytes is provided corresponding to each pavilion AB and C, and is used to record pamphlets, commemorative photos, etc. for each pavilion.

B and C are each provided in the form of a preformat.

Note that the frame of the area for use by visitors may be visually visible.

〔Effect of the invention〕

According to the present invention, an event organizer can accurately grasp the IDs of event attendees, the number of attendees, the usage status of each pavilion, the degree of congestion, etc., and smoothly manage the event or perform post-event processing. In addition, attendees can easily file a large amount of additional information such as pamphlets for each event pavilion on their own event card and take it home, and this information can be transferred from the event card as needed. This makes it possible to reproduce or organize the information after the fact and make effective use of it.
