As shown in FIG. 3, the interactive degree judgment program run by the ticket booking host 1 can use a mathematical operation formula to convert the interactive degree into a discount amount. For example, FIG. 3 shows that each point can be deducted by 20 yuan. The discount amount is related to the difference between the discounted fare and the standard fare. For example, in Figures 2 and 3, the discount amount is 500 yuan. Generally speaking, users who participate more frequently in activities can enjoy cheaper concessionary fares, which can increase the willingness of loyal enthusiasts to participate in activities of the same nature. It is added here that the interaction degree of the same account may have its own interaction points because of the different nature of the participation activities. For example, a fan participates in a Chinese female singer’s concert every time and this fan participates in an orchestra concert every time. Accumulate to different interaction points separately.

Please review Figure 1. The plurality of ticket booking devices 3 are each connected to the ticket booking host 1 via wired network or wireless network communication. Each ticket booking device 3 has a display module 32 and an input module.

Different from the conventional interactive operation of waving a fluorescent stick, in an embodiment of the present invention, the speed, amplitude, frequency or number of times the user shakes the interactive device 5 are measured by an accelerometer or a similar function detection element, Then, the above information is sent to the interactive host 7 through the signal transceiver, and then recorded under a user account corresponding to the interactive device 5, thereby increasing the interaction degree of the user account. Further, the interactive host 7 can convert different levels of interaction values according to the speed, amplitude, frequency or number of times the interactive device 5 is shaken. Furthermore, the increase in the degree of interaction is not only related to the interactive item, but also related to the performance conditions during the performance. For example, when the singer sings the rhythm of the song quickly, the cumulative interaction degree of the same interactive device 5 shaking times will be higher than that of the slow rhythm track; however, the difference between the shaking frequency and the rhythm of the playing track can also be Determine the degree of interaction, that is, the smaller the difference, the higher the degree of increase in the degree of interaction, and the greater the difference, the lower the degree of increase in degree of interaction. Therefore, fans can show their enthusiasm for interaction through the interactive device 5 in real time and record these interactions numerically, thus enhancing the fun of the concert interaction.

In another embodiment of the present invention, the interactive module in the interactive device 5 includes a positioning unit. The interactive item is a positioning unit that detects distance information between itself and the stage. All distance information detected by the positioning unit will be transmitted to the interactive host 7 through the signal transceiver. Therefore, the interactive host 7 can record the distance relationship between the user and the stage during the performance according to the distance information. Specifically, the interactive operation is, for example, a plurality of audiences forming text in a zone through a mobile station to present to the performers on the stage. The interactive host 7 can record the movement trajectory of these audiences through the aforementioned interactive device 5 to quantify them Integrate points for interaction to increase the interaction of these viewers.

In addition to the aforementioned interactive device 5 performing interactive operations and actively sending interactive project signals to the interactive host 7 to increase the degree of interaction, the interactive module in the interactive device 5 can also perform interactive operations according to interactive commands sent by the interactive host 7. For example, concert organizers can use radio frequency identification (Radio Frequency IDentification, RFID) technology to predefine broadcast signals of different colors to correspond to different performance tracks; then use the interactive host 7 and spread on the stage and auditorium Multiple signal repeaters in between send interactive command signals. The interactive device 5 held by the audience is equipped with a light-emitting unit and a sensing circuit. The sensing circuit is used to sense the interactive command broadcast signal from the interactive host 7 and generate a current based on the electromagnetic induction phenomenon to drive the light-emitting unit in the interactive device 5 to generate a designation. Shades. In this way, the interactive devices 5 of all viewers simultaneously emit a consistent color, and the interactive device 5 can change the color light of the light-emitting unit according to the interactive instruction, thereby increasing the beauty and fun during the interaction. In addition, the interactive device 5 may further include the microcontroller and the signal transceiver described above. The microcontroller is used to record the number of times the interactive module completes the interactive command, and the signal transceiver is used to transmit the recorded number to the interactive host 7, thereby Increase user interaction.

In another embodiment of the present invention, the interactive module in the interactive device 5 generates an interactive request, and sends the interactive request through the signal transceiver, and the interactive host 7 determines whether to execute the interactive request. In detail, the interaction module includes an input unit for the user to generate an image or a text, and convert the generated image or text into an electronic signal, and the signal transceiver sends the interactive request represented by the electronic signal Send to interactive host 7. After receiving the interactive request from the multiple interactive devices 5, the interactive host 7 selects one or more of them, and presents the image or text input by the user through the projection device or the display device, and the selected interactive request corresponds to The interactive degree of the interactive device 5 can thus be increased. Taking a small concert as an example, fans can send their feelings to the performers and all audiences on the spot through the above-mentioned interactive request method, or use them to order Encore tracks, thereby enhancing the audience's sense of participation. At the same time, it can increase your accumulated interaction.

As mentioned above, the calculation method for the cumulative interaction degree can be based on the various interaction types mentioned above (including: interactive items actively issued by the interactive device 5, the interactive device 5 executing the interactive commands sent by the interactive host 7, and the interactive device 5 Interactive request) and different weights of increase, for example: completing an interactive command can accumulate 3 points, the interactive request is selected by the interactive host 7 can accumulate 10 points, shaking the interactive device 5 can get 1 point. Therefore, the organizer can attract more viewers to participate in the interaction by dynamically adjusting the weight of the cumulative interaction degree of various interactive operations.

In addition, it is added that in another embodiment of the present invention, the interactive host 7 is selected and executed from multiple interactive requests in a random manner. In yet another embodiment, in addition to the aforementioned input unit for generating images or text, the interactive device 5 further includes an accelerometer for detecting the speed, amplitude, frequency, or number of times the interactive device 5 is shaken. In other words, the audience must shake the interactive device 5 after completing the input to send the interactive request. The interactive host 7 determines which of the multiple interactive requests is executed according to the accelerometer detection information attached to the received interactive request, for example, the one with the highest number of shakes or the fastest shaking speed of the interactive device 5 is selected. Therefore, it can enhance the fun of interaction and increase the rationality of interaction accumulation.

In practice, the interactive device 5 is, for example, a smart phone or a tablet computer, and the user can easily use the light emitting unit (such as LED light), the positioning unit (such as GPS positioning element), and the input unit (such as touch) of the smart phone itself Screen), etc., to realize the interactive operation mentioned in the above embodiments, and send interactive items to the interactive host 7, receive interactive commands from the interactive host 7 or send interactive requests to the interactive host 7. The interactive host 7 synchronously returns the accumulated interaction degree of the user to the booking host 1. Therefore, the user can also log in to the booking interface 12 with his own account through a smartphone to view the current accumulated interaction degree in real time, and The discount amount converted using the interaction degree reduces the amount to be paid for the next booking.

In summary, in the ticket booking system disclosed in the present invention, the audience interacts with the performer through the interactive device. While participating in the interaction, in addition to increasing the fun of watching the performance, the interactive device and The interactive host accumulates interactive degrees, so that the next time you participate in activities of the same nature, you can enjoy cheaper discounted fares.
