It transmits (S320). The menu related to the service includes the ticket information and includes at least one of region-based event, emergency service, region information, weather information, community channel setting, and information on surrounding facilities.

In addition, when the mobile terminal establishes a community channel among the service-related menus, the ticket providing server 500 establishes a call path between the mobile terminals.

Therefore, when the mobile terminal transmits a conversation request message to another mobile terminal having the call path set, and the other mobile terminal responds to the conversation request message, the ticket providing server 500 is connected to the other mobile terminal and the mobile terminal. Manage to send and receive voice or text messages in between.

Even after the call path is set, the ticket providing server 500 continuously receives the location information on the mobile terminal, and blocks the set call path for the mobile terminal outside the predetermined area 400.

When the mobile terminal requests ticket information corresponding to the service in the menu, the ticket providing server 500 transmits a ticket list related to the service provided by the predetermined area 400, and responds to the response message. It is determined whether the reception (S330, S340).

When the response message received from the mobile terminal is a message for purchasing or requesting a ticket, an authorization number corresponding to the ticket is transmitted to the mobile terminal and / or ticket issuing device 420 (S350 and S360).

In addition, the ticket providing server 500 transmits the billing information related to the ticket to the billing server 360 together with the information of the mobile terminal to perform billing for the fee and the service fee for the ticket.

In one application example, the mobile terminal receiving the authorization number receives connection information of the ticket issuing device 420 received with the authorization number, for example, a connection URL (Unique Resource Locator) of the ticket issuing device 420. By selecting, the approval number can be transmitted to the ticket issuing device 420 to easily issue a ticket.

[First Embodiment]

In a first embodiment to which the present invention is applied, a method in which a user is provided with a ticket for using a lift of a ski resort by using a mobile communication system when the predetermined area is a ski resort.

The ticket providing server 500 receives information on a mobile terminal entering the ski resort area from the mobile communication system 300 and transmits a menu related to a service provided in the ski resort area to the mobile terminal.

When the mobile terminal requests a ticket providing service among menus related to the service to the ticket providing server 500, the ticket providing server 500 inquires based on the information on the mobile terminal, and the mobile terminal makes a ticket. It is determined whether or not a subscription service is provided and whether a reservation for a ticket for using the lift is made.

The ticket providing server 500 transmits a list of tickets related to a service provided in the ski resort area to the mobile terminal when the reserved ticket does not exist, and the ticket selected from the mobile terminal is a lift use right. The authorization number corresponding to the lift right is transmitted to the mobile terminal.

In addition, the ticket providing server 500 transmits the charging information corresponding to the lift use right together with the information of the mobile terminal to the charging server.

When there is a ticket reserved by the mobile terminal, the ticket providing server 500 provides the mobile terminal and / or the ticket issuing device 420 with an authorization number corresponding to the reserved ticket.

The mobile terminal receiving the authorization number may receive a desired ticket by transmitting or inputting the authorization number to the ticket issuing device 420. In addition, when the authorization number and the information of the mobile terminal are provided to the ticket issuing device 420, a ticket corresponding to the authorization number is immediately issued when the telephone number of the mobile terminal is input.

In addition, the menu related to the service provided by the ticket providing server 500 to the mobile terminal includes the ticket information, and includes region-based events, emergency services, local information, weather information, community channel settings, and slopes. At least one of the location and open status, how to use the lift, guide to use the facilities inside the ski resort, and discount coupons of the facilities.

When the community channel is set up by the user of the mobile terminal, the ticket providing server 500 sets a call path for the mobile terminal and transmits a conversation request message to another mobile terminal in which the call path is set.

At this time, the ticket providing server 500 transmits a voice or text message transmitted and received between the other mobile terminal and the mobile terminal in response to the conversation request message. In one application, the ticket providing server 500 manages data transmission and reception between the mobile terminal and the other mobile terminal through a predetermined server managing the community when a community channel setting is requested by the user of the mobile terminal. It is possible to do so.

In addition, the mobile terminal stores the service related menu received from the ticket providing server 500 in the memory of the mobile terminal. When the user of the mobile terminal selects one of the service related menus, information about the service is output or connected to a server providing the service.

As described in detail above, according to the method and apparatus for providing a service ticket using the mobile communication system of the present invention, when the mobile terminal enters a specific area, a list of tickets related to a service provided in the specific area is provided. In order to purchase or purchase a desired ticket through the wireless Internet, there is an advantage that the user of the mobile terminal can omit unnecessary searching steps.

In addition, when the ticket is reserved or purchased through the wireless or wired Internet, the authorization number sent to the mobile terminal can be transmitted back to the ticket issuing device through the communication network without the user touching the ticket issuing device. Also, the user's convenience was achieved by allowing the ticket to be issued.

In addition, by sending the authorization number corresponding to the ticket to the ticket issuing device along with the subscriber information of the mobile terminal, even if the user does not have a mobile terminal, the ticket can be issued by entering the phone number of the mobile terminal. The effect is that tickets can be issued.
