Smart ticket display system and method using information set by a ticket inspector

[0001] The present invention relates to a smart ticket display system and a method thereof, and more specifically, to a smart ticket display system and a method thereof that displays a smart ticket using information set by a ticket inspector.

[0002] Due to the development of digital and communication technologies, smart tickets issued and managed using digital technology are being used in various fields such as transportation, performances, and movies.

[0003] These smart tickets can be easily purchased by accessing mobile apps or web platforms via smartphones, and since they are provided in the form of QR codes or barcodes, they have the advantage of being more convenient and environmentally friendly compared to paper tickets.

[0004] On the other hand, smart tickets pose a risk of hacking or data leakage, and there is a problem in that it is difficult for ticket inspectors to easily detect forgery if a captured smart ticket is forged.

[0005] Therefore, various ticket verification systems are being developed to verify smart tickets.

[0006] In this regard, Public Registration No. 10-2023-0011759 discloses a smart ticket inspection system and method using a beacon-based inspection terminal. According to the above patent, when a user holding a smart ticket carries a user terminal and enters the performance associated with the smart ticket, the result verified by the main server using identification information received through the inspection terminal is output to the user terminal, thereby providing a smooth entry service.

[0007] However, this conventional technology had a problem in that the types of smart tickets that could be verified were limited, as it required storing identification information for verifying smart tickets and equipping ticket verification terminals installed in each verification zone, and verification was only possible for smart tickets stored on user terminals that entered the verification zone with the Bluetooth function enabled for communication with the said verification terminals. For example, there is a limitation in that verification results cannot be displayed on user terminals for smart tickets stored on user terminals where the Bluetooth function is not enabled.

[0008] In addition, this conventional technology had a problem in that it could not easily verify smart tickets, which are issued in a dense manner by time and route, such as bus or train tickets, and are not stored on a mobile terminal but are downloaded from a server in real time and displayed, and also could not easily distinguish and display whether the operating time, train number (or vehicle number), and route are valid for the bus or train tickets, so ticket inspectors could not easily inspect the tickets.

[0037] Embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to the attached drawings. The description is provided in detail to enable those skilled in the art to easily practice the present invention. However, the present invention may be embodied in various different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Meanwhile, in order to clearly explain the present invention in the drawings, parts unrelated to the explanation have been omitted, and similar parts throughout the specification have been given similar reference numerals. Furthermore, explanations of parts that can be easily understood by those skilled in the art even without detailed description have been omitted.

[0038] Throughout the specification and claims, when a part is described as including a certain component, this means that, unless specifically stated otherwise, it does not exclude other components but may include additional components.

[0039] FIG. 1 is a schematic block diagram of a smart ticket display system according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 1, a smart ticket display system (100) according to an embodiment of the present invention is a device for displaying a smart ticket in conjunction with a portable terminal device of a user who has purchased a smart ticket, and includes a ticket management DB (110), a display information management DB (120), a ticket inspector I / F (130), a display information setting unit (140), a ticket display unit (150), a communication I / F (160), and a control unit (170).

[0040] At this time, the smart ticket display system (100) may be installed for each institution that issues smart tickets. For example, the smart ticket display system (100) may be installed for each institution that hosts performances, movies, or sports events (hereinafter referred to as "performance hosting institutions"), or for each institution that sells and manages tickets for trains or buses (hereinafter referred to as "ticket sales institutions").

[0041] The ticket management DB (110) stores the necessary inspection information for each of the multiple smart tickets that have already been issued by matching them.

[0042] For example, if the smart ticket is an admission ticket issued by the performance organizing agency, the ticket management DB (110) can store admission target information (e.g., performance name, movie title, or sports game name, etc.) for which entry is permitted by the ticket, and admission availability dates (e.g., viewing date and viewing time, etc.) by matching them with the issuance number of the corresponding smart ticket. Alternatively, if the smart ticket is a ticket issued by the ticket sales agency, the ticket management DB (110) can store the train or bus route information (i.e., departure and destination information) for which boarding is possible by the ticket, and operation dates (i.e., departure time, etc.) by matching them with the issuance number of the corresponding smart ticket.

[0043] To this end, the ticket management DB (110) may be controlled by the control unit (170), and the control unit (170) may periodically receive ticket issuance information from the smart ticket issuance and management server within the performance organizing agency or the ticket sales agency through the communication I / F (160) and store the ticket information in the ticket management DB (110).

[0044] The display information management DB (120) stores pre-set display information for each inspection information required for inspection. At this time, the display information may be set in the display information setting unit (140) to be described later based on the inspection officer's selection information, or may be information that has been pre-set in advance.

[0045] For example, if the smart ticket is an admission ticket issued by the performance organizing agency, the display information management DB (120) may include a performance information field and a display information field, and may register and manage the corresponding performance name and performance date and time in the performance information field, and the area information and display content of the smart ticket to reflect the display information in the display information field, respectively. Alternatively, if the smart ticket is a ticket issued by the ticket sales agency, the display information management DB (120) may include a vehicle information field and a display information field, and may register and manage the corresponding train or bus vehicle number in the vehicle information field, and the area information and display content of the smart ticket to reflect the display information in the display information field, respectively.

[0046] If the above display information is information about a train ticket for a specific train, the display information management DB (120) can store and manage by matching the pre-set inspection color for each train number with the area information of the smart ticket for displaying the inspection color.

[0047] The ticket inspector I / F (130) is a device for providing an interface with the ticket inspector and can provide an interface with the ticket inspector terminal device held by the ticket inspector. The ticket inspector I / F (130) transmits the selection information entered by the ticket inspector, who is to inspect a specific smart ticket, to the control unit (170) to set the display information, thereby enabling the corresponding display information to be set in the display information setting unit (140) to be described later.

[0048] The ticket inspector I / F (130) can receive from the ticket inspector information to be inspected (e.g., performance information including the name and date of the performance, or vehicle information including the vehicle number or operation information) and display information to be reflected in the smart ticket (e.g., area information and display content of the smart ticket to reflect the display information) and transmit it to the control unit (170). At this time, the display content is a display color, and the area information may be selected by the ticket inspector or a pre-set default value.

[0049] The display information setting unit (140) sets display information for displaying a smart ticket corresponding to specific inspection information based on the ticket inspector's selection information. At this time, the ticket inspector's selection information is information entered through the ticket inspector I / F (130), and the specific inspection information refers to information to be inspected, which may be a specific performance held at a specific time or a specific train operating at a specific time.

[0050] To this end, the display information setting unit (140) can display color information selectable by the ticket inspector for the specific ticket inspection information, and determine the display color to be reflected when displaying the smart ticket corresponding to the ticket inspection information based on the ticket inspector's color selection information regarding the color information. For example, the display information setting unit (140) can transmit the selectable color information to the ticket inspector terminal device through the ticket inspector I / F (130), and set the display information using the ticket inspector's selection information received through the ticket inspector I / F (130).

[0051] Meanwhile, the display information setting unit (140) may display the previous display information if there is previously set display information for the specific ticket inspection information, and receive a second selection information from the ticket inspector regarding whether to change the previous display information, thereby changing or maintaining the previous display information. For example, the display information setting unit (140) may transmit the previous display information for the specific ticket inspection information to the ticket inspector's terminal device and allow the ticket inspector to change the display information only when the ticket inspector wishes to change the previous display information. This is intended to allow the display information to be shared among the ticket inspectors when there are multiple ticket inspectors for any ticket inspection target.

[0052] At this time, when multiple ticket inspectors separate the inspection targets for the aforementioned specific ticket inspection information and proceed with the inspection, the display information setting unit (140) sets the separation information together, thereby preventing cases where different display information is set for the same ticket inspection information and causes confusion in the inspection.

[0053] The ticket display unit (150) displays the corresponding smart ticket on the user's portable terminal device in response to the user's request. At this time, the ticket display unit (150) displays the ticket by reflecting the display information set in the display information setting unit (140) to facilitate ticket inspection. That is, the ticket display unit (150) can display the first smart ticket with the first display information reflected therein on the user's portable terminal device after detecting the first inspection information matched to the first smart ticket from the ticket management DB (110) and detecting the first display information corresponding to the first inspection information from the display information management DB (120) in response to the request of the first user who has purchased the first smart ticket.

[0054] Additionally, the ticket display unit (150) can store inspection area information in advance within the smart ticket and reflect the first display information in the inspection area.

[0055] For example, when any user who has reserved seat 4A in carriage 3 of train number 123 operating on the Seoul → Busan route requests the display of the ticket, the ticket display unit (150) can detect ticket inspection information (e.g., train number, etc.) matched to the ticket from the ticket management DB (110) based on the request information transmitted by the user, and detect display information registered by the ticket inspector regarding the ticket inspection information from the display information management DB (120), and then transmit the display information to the user's terminal device by reflecting the display information in a pre-arranged area of ​​the ticket. At this time, if the pre-arranged area is a 'section display area' and the display information is 'green', the ticket display unit (150) can display the ticket with the display information reflected to display the section display area in green on the user terminal device.

[0056] Then, a ticket inspector who has registered the above-mentioned display information to inspect a ticket for train number 123 operating on the Seoul → Busan section can remember the display information they have registered and quickly proceed with the inspection by simply determining whether the section display area of ​​the ticket presented by the passenger is green.

[0057] At this time, since the above-mentioned display information can be arbitrarily set by the ticket inspector, a ticket inspector who wishes to inspect a ticket for another train can proceed with the inspection by registering another display information and then verifying only whether the display information registered by the inspector matches the ticket presented by the passenger.

[0058] In this way, the present invention allows each ticket inspector to set display information for the tickets to be inspected differently according to their preference and to proceed with the inspection based on such information, thereby preventing delays in the inspection process caused by verifying the departure point, destination, or departure time, and enables the inspection officer to quickly recognize and respond to cases where a passenger mistakenly boards a train with the same departure point and departure time but a different destination.

[0059] The communication I / F (160) provides a wired / wireless communication interface for communication with the user's mobile terminal device or the smart ticket issuance and management server.

[0060] The control unit (170) controls the overall operation of the smart ticket display system (100) based on a preset smart ticket display algorithm. For example, the control unit (170) controls the operation of each of the ticket management DB (110), display information management DB (120), ticket inspector I / F (130), display information setting unit (140), ticket display unit (150), and communication I / F (160) based on the smart ticket algorithm.

[0061] FIG. 2 is a schematic flowchart of a smart ticket display method according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the smart ticket display method according to an embodiment of the present invention is described as follows.

[0062] First, in step S110, the smart ticket display system (100) matches and stores inspection information required for inspection for each of the multiple smart tickets that have already been issued. To this end, in step S110, the control unit (170) can periodically receive ticket issuance information from a smart ticket issuance and management server within a performance organizer or ticket sales agency that issues the smart tickets, and store the information in the ticket management DB (110).

[0063] In steps S120 and S130, the smart ticket display system (100) sets display information for displaying a smart ticket corresponding to specific inspection information based on the first selection information of the ticket inspector. That is, in step S120, when a request for display information setting is made through the ticket inspector I / F (130) and the ticket inspector's selection information for display information setting is input, in step S130, the display information setting unit (140) sets the display information based on that information.

[0064] To this end, if the display information for the specific ticket inspection information is a color, in step S130, the display information setting unit (140) provides the ticket inspector with color information selectable by the ticket inspector, displaying it on the ticket inspector terminal device in the form of a palette or a combo box, and can determine the display color to be reflected when displaying the smart ticket corresponding to the ticket inspection information based on the ticket inspector's color selection information for the color information.

[0065] Meanwhile, between step S120 and step S130, the smart ticket display system (100) may further include a previous information display step for displaying the previous information if there is prior display information set for the specific ticket inspection information; and a selection information input step for receiving a second selection information from a ticket inspector who has confirmed the previous information.

[0066] In this case, at step S130, the display information setting unit (140) can change or maintain the previous display information based on the second selection information of the ticket inspector.

[0067] In step S140, the smart ticket display system (100) classifies and stores the display information set in step S130 according to ticket inspection information. That is, in step S140, the control unit (170) stores the display information according to ticket inspection information in the display information management DB (120).

[0068] In steps S150 to S170, the smart ticket display system (100) displays the corresponding smart ticket on the user's portable terminal device in response to the user's request. In particular, the ticket display unit (150) reflects the display information set in step S130 in step S160, and then displays the corresponding smart ticket on the user's portable terminal device in step S170. For example, in steps S160 and S170, the ticket display unit (150) responds to the request of a first user who has purchased an arbitrary first smart ticket, detects the first inspection information matched and stored in the first smart ticket in step S110, detects the first display information classified and stored as the first inspection information in step S140, and then displays the first smart ticket reflecting the first display information on the first user's portable terminal device.

[0069] Additionally, in step S170, the ticket display unit (150) may reflect the first display information in a pre-set inspection area within the smart ticket, and the inspection area may be an area designated by a ticket inspector or a pre-arranged area.

[0070] In this way, the present invention makes it easier for a ticket inspector to inspect a ticket by displaying the smart ticket by reflecting the display information pre-registered by the ticket inspector for each smart ticket.

[0071] In the description of the method of the present invention with reference to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the redundant description of the content mentioned in the description of the smart ticket display system (100) of the present invention with reference to FIG. 1 has been omitted.

[0072] FIGS. 3 and FIGS. 4 are drawings illustrating a procedure for a smart ticket display system according to an embodiment of the present invention to display a smart ticket in conjunction with a ticket inspector terminal or a user terminal. FIG. 3 illustrates a procedure for a smart ticket display system (100) according to an embodiment of the present invention to set display information for ticket inspection in conjunction with a ticket inspector terminal (10), and FIG. 4 illustrates a procedure for a smart ticket display system (100) according to an embodiment of the present invention to display a smart ticket in conjunction with a user terminal (20).

[0073] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 4, the display information setting procedure and smart ticket display procedure according to one embodiment of the present invention are described as follows.

[0074] First, referring to FIG. 3, in step S205, the smart ticket display system (100) stores ticket information. At this time, the smart ticket display system (100) can match and store inspection information required for inspection for each of the multiple smart tickets issued, as mentioned in the description with reference to FIG. 1.

[0075] In step S210, the ticket inspector terminal (10) connects to the smart ticket display system (100) and requests the setting of display information. To this end, the ticket inspector terminal (10) transmits ticket inspection target information to the smart ticket display system (100). For example, in step S210, the ticket inspector terminal (10) may transmit performance information including the name of the performance and the date and time of the performance to be inspected, or vehicle information including the vehicle number or operation information to be inspected, to the smart ticket display system (100) as the ticket inspection target information.

[0076] In steps S215 and S220, the smart ticket display system (100) checks whether there is previous information, which is previously registered display information, regarding the ticket inspection target information, that is, the ticket inspection target information for which display information setting was requested in step S210, and if the previous information exists, transmits the previous information to the ticket inspector terminal (10).

[0077] In step S225, the ticket inspector terminal (10) displays the received previous information.

[0078] In steps S230 to S265, a change registration for the previous information is performed based on a request from a ticket inspector through the ticket inspector terminal (10). To this end, in steps S230 and 235, the ticket inspector terminal (10) requests a change to the previous information from the smart ticket display system (100) based on the ticket inspector's change selection for changing the previous information, in step S240, the smart ticket display system (100) transmits selectable color information to the ticket inspector terminal (10), and in step S245, the ticket inspector terminal (10) displays the color information received in step S240. In steps S250 and S255, the ticket inspector terminal (10) transmits the color selection information to the smart ticket display system (100) based on the ticket inspector's color selection information. In steps S260 and S265, the smart ticket display system (100) sets display information for the corresponding ticket inspection target based on the color selection information and then saves it.

[0079] Meanwhile, if, as a result of the verification in step S215, there is no previous information—which is previously registered display information—for the ticket inspection target information for which display information setting was requested in step S210, the verification procedure for the said previous information (steps S220 to S35) is omitted, and steps S240 to S265 are performed to proceed with the display information setting for the ticket inspection target information for which display information setting was requested in step S210.

[0080] Referring to FIGS. 1 and FIGS. 4, in step S305, when a user who has purchased a smart ticket managed by the smart ticket display system (100) requests a smart ticket display through their user terminal (20), in step S310, the smart ticket display system (100) detects ticket verification information matched to the smart ticket from the previously stored ticket management DB (110), and in step S315, the smart ticket display system (100) detects display information corresponding to the ticket verification information detected in step S310 from the previously stored display information management DB (120). At this time, the display information management DB (120) has display information set for each ticket verification information classified and stored according to the procedure exemplified in FIG. 3.

[0081] In steps S320 and S325, the smart ticket display system (100) reflects the display information detected in step S315 onto the smart ticket requested by the user terminal (20) and then transmits it to the user terminal (20).

[0082] In step S330, the user terminal (20) displays a smart ticket with display information reflected therein. That is, in step S330, by displaying a smart ticket with display information reflected therein, which is set by the ticket inspector who will inspect the smart ticket, on the user terminal (20), the ticket inspector can easily inspect the smart ticket.

[0083] FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating a procedure for displaying a train ticket in conjunction with a crew terminal (30) and a train customer terminal (40) by a smart ticket display system (100) according to an embodiment of the present invention, and illustrates an example in which the smart ticket display system (100) is implemented within a train ticket management system (200) that manages the issuance and operation of train tickets. In the example of FIG. 5, the smart ticket display system (100) does not include a separate ticket management DB because it can share ticket information managed within the train ticket management system (200).

[0084] Referring to Fig. 5, the procedure for displaying a train ticket is explained as follows.

[0085] First, in step S405, the crew terminal (30) requests the smart ticket display system (100) to set up a ticket inspection function at the request of the crew member. At this time, the crew terminal (30) is held by a crew member who intends to inspect the tickets of passengers boarding a specific train, and each crew member may possess a different device. Therefore, in step S405, the crew member holding the crew terminal (30) can transmit information regarding the tickets to be inspected. For example, in step S405, any first crew member holding the crew terminal (30) can transmit the train number of the train to be inspected together when requesting the setting up of the ticket inspection function. That is, in step S405, any crew member can request the setting up of the ticket inspection function for the tickets of the train they are to inspect.

[0086] Thus, the present invention has the feature of allowing each crew member to freely set the inspection function for the ticket to be inspected, thereby enabling each crew member to remember the display information they have registered and quickly read the inspection information from the ticket presented by the passenger, thereby shortening the inspection time, and preventing inspection errors caused by the leakage of inspection information by allowing the inspection information to be set or changed in real time by the selection information of each crew member.

[0087] In step S410, the smart ticket display system (100) responds to the ticket inspection function setting request and transmits color information selectable by the crew member to the crew terminal (30), and in step S415, the crew terminal (30) displays the color information received in step S410.

[0088] At this time, the selectable color information may be information pre-selected to include one or more colors not included in existing tickets, and for trains where passengers are likely to make boarding mistakes due to similar departure times or close platforms (hereinafter referred to as 'adjacent trains'), similar colors may not be selected; for example, colors that are complementary to each other may be selected between the said adjacent trains. This is intended to allow the crew to easily recognize passengers who have made boarding mistakes and respond quickly.

[0089] In steps S420 and S425, the crew terminal (30) transmits the inspection color selection information to the smart ticket display system (100) based on the crew's inspection color selection information, and in steps S430 and S435, the smart ticket display system (100) matches the inspection color with the train number transmitted in step S405 based on the inspection color selection information, and then stores the matching information.

[0090] In step S440, a train customer who has purchased a ticket managed by the smart ticket display system (100) requests ticket display through their terminal (i.e., train customer terminal (40)). At this time, the train customer terminal (40) can also transmit information (e.g., train number) that was matched together when setting the ticket inspection function in step S405.

[0091] In step S445, the smart ticket display system (100) looks up the inspection color corresponding to the ticket requested for display. That is, in step S445, the smart ticket display system (100) can look up the inspection color matched to the train number transmitted together with the ticket display request in step S440. To do this, the smart ticket display system (100) can look up the color information set by the crew member who will inspect the ticket requested for display.

[0092] In steps S450 and S455, the smart ticket display system (100) can transmit the ticket information to the train customer terminal (40) after reflecting the inspection color in a part area of ​​the ticket requested for display.

[0093] In step S460, the train customer terminal (40) displays the ticket. At this time, an example of the displayed ticket is illustrated in FIG. 6.

[0094] FIG. 6 is a drawing showing an example of a ticket display on a train customer terminal according to the procedure exemplified in FIG. 5. Referring to FIG. 6, it can be seen that the section display area (A) of the ticket is displayed in a color different from that of a standard ticket. At this time, the color displayed in the section display area (A) may be information set by a crew member holding a crew terminal (30), and the section display area (A) may be set by the crew member or may be pre-set as a default value in the smart ticket display system (100).

[0095] Thus, the smart ticket display system and method of the present invention are characterized by enabling a ticket inspector to easily inspect a smart ticket by reflecting pre-set display information to assist the inspector in inspecting the smart ticket when the smart ticket to be inspected is transmitted to a user's mobile terminal device.

[0096] In addition, the present invention is characterized by not reflecting fixed display information, but rather reflecting display information set differently for each ticket inspector based on the inspector's selection information in real time whenever a smart ticket is displayed, thereby preventing ticket inspection errors caused by the leakage of said display information.

[0097] In addition, the present invention is characterized by the ability to reflect display information in various forms so that it is possible to identify each ticket issued in a dense manner according to time periods and operating sections, such as bus or train tickets, by reflecting display information set differently for each ticket inspector in a part area of ​​the smart ticket, thereby enabling identification of passengers who intend to board without paying, as well as providing guidance to passengers who board a different bus or train due to a mistake.

[0098] Although embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the scope of the present invention is not limited thereto and includes all changes and modifications within the scope recognized as equivalents that can be easily changed by a person skilled in the art to which the present invention belongs from the embodiments.
