(Example)

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

As described below, an electronic ticket using a smart card according to the present invention serves as a key of a database used for quickly and accurately inquiring a user's identity through a computer network.

1 is a system operation flowchart showing the overall flow of the system operation of the electronic ticket issuing operating system using a smart card according to the present invention, the smart card (1), card issuing and managing system (2), user system (3), The ticket management system 6 and the entrance card recognizer 5 of the ticket use organization are comprised.

As shown in FIG. 1, the smart card 1 is a storage medium that stores an admission ticket and a ticket used in a railway, a theater, a stadium, and the like as an electronic symbol (for example, electronic information).

The card issuer and a system manager (eg, a merchant manager) mean a company or a corporation that manages the entire system, and detects a user's reservation information using the Internet or the like and detects an electronic ticket using the smart card 1. And an authority that processes management tasks such as transmitting information about admission tickets and tickets reserved for the user to the corresponding affiliated store (ie, the reservation management system) by interlocking detection information.

That is, the card issuance and management system 2 built in the card issuer and system manager mentioned above registers the user's information in the card, stores the money value (possibly in connection with a financial institution), and issues the card. do.

The user system 3 is a PC 7 capable of Internet communication or a device capable of performing a similar function, and is composed of a communication medium such as a PDA and a card reader 8 that recognizes a card possessed by a user. Cards (1) Reserve tickets and tickets to the issuing ticket and ticket issuing agency to be used by the holder, select payment methods such as prepaid, postpaid, or debit, and send the information to the electronic ticket using the smart card.

A merchant having a reservation management system 6 is a merchant affiliated with a card issuer and a system administrator who have established an electronic ticket issuing operation system using a smart card according to the present invention. It means the place where own ticket can be used, and when the user who owns the electronic ticket by the booking management system 6 enters the card and recognizes the card to the entrance card recognizer 5 installed at the entrance, The recognizer 5 detects and computerizes previously stored information, and requests the card issuer or system manager 2 for the amount of money related thereto.

That is, the above-described booking management system 6 processes and processes the entrance-related data on the customer entering by using a smart card, and requests the payment amount of the purchase amount to the card issuer and the system manager 2. Perform work

The entrance card recognizer 5 of the admission ticket using organization is an apparatus for recognizing an electronic ticket when the electronic ticket holder enters the apparatus, and communicates with the card to detect various data stored in the electronic ticket of the user.

That is, when the user recognizes the smart card on the card installed at the entrance of the affiliated store, the entrance card recognizer 5 of the above-described admission ticket using organization detects the reservation information (electronic ticket) stored in the smart card and determines whether the user enters Judgment is made, and when admission is allowed, payment is made immediately using the stored currency value.

Based on the above-described configuration, the information related to the reservation is stored in the smart card in which the microprocessor chip is embedded through the electronic network such as the Internet according to the present invention, and the electronic ticket is stored using the electronic symbol so that the user reserves the ticket or the ticket. It describes in more detail the construction and use of a system from to position.

First, a user who wants to use an electronic ticket issuing operation system using a smart card through a computer network such as the Internet, has a card built in a card issuer and a system manager (merchant store management company) with all the personal information and information necessary for payment. To the issuance and management system (2).

Then, the card issuing and managing system 2 examines the provided information and issues a smart card to the user that can be linked with the information provided by the user.

In this case, the card issuer and the system manager establish an Internet site for use in theaters and railway stations, and install a reservation management system 6 and a card recognizer 5.

As described above, when a user reserves and reserves an admission ticket and a ticket through a computer network such as the Internet using the user system 3, the user pays in one of the payment methods such as prepaid and postpaid, debit, and credit card.

Next, the card issuance and management system 2 built in the card issuing agency and the system management company transmits the reservation result to the booking management system 6 of the institution that can use the admission ticket and the ticket.

When a user tries to enter or ride a theater or a railroad car, an entrance ticket and a ticket are automatically processed by the smart card reader according to the above result, so that the user can use it without any action.

Finally, the card issuing and managing system (2) built in the card issuer and system manager that provides the payment method used for the booking can make payments to merchants in which the booking management system (6) is established in connection with a financial institution. Do so.

For example, when a ticket for a railroad ticket and an entrance ticket for a theater or a stadium is reserved through the Internet using a smart card with a microchip that generates a signal for user recognition, the reservation information is converted into data through a computer program. By storing the reservation information about the ticket as an electronic ticket using the user's smart card, the card reader installed in the ticket gates recognizes the electronic ticket using the smart card, thereby recognizing the information stored in the card and automatically displaying the information about the train ticket. The cardholder can pass through the doorway without any action, and in case of the designated seat system, the card number of the seat can be automatically printed and issued to the card reader of the doorway, or the seat number can be displayed on the screen. For automatic processing by attaching a card reader The.

In addition, it is carried out so as to have a profit structure by collecting a certain fee when the settlement agent occurs in the above process.

As described above, according to the present invention, reservation and ticketing are integrated from the user's point of view, thereby improving convenience of the user, making reservations on the Internet as well as making payments using electronic money. When entering and exiting, you can check the access right away without a separate admission ticket, and the user's access status is automatically processed, which can greatly reduce time and cost.
