Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The current online ticketing system lacks effective regulation to prevent illegal ticket purchases and resales, leading to issues like consumers being unable to attend events, excessive pricing, and difficulties in verifying ticket genuineness, resulting in inconveniences and damages.
Innovation Solution
A method utilizing a blockchain network to create and manage ticket tokens, which includes registering ticket reservation information on a distributed ledger, verifying user identity, and tracking ticket movements to ensure authenticity and ownership, thereby preventing illegal activities and ensuring transparency in ticket sales.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If conventional online ticketing systems are used, then ticket purchase convenience is improved, but ticket security and genuineness verification deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a blockchain network as an intermediary between the ticketing system and users. The blockchain ledger acts as a trusted mediator that records and verifies ticket transactions, ensuring genuineness without requiring complex verification procedures from users. This resolves the contradiction by maintaining ease of use while enhancing security through the decentralized verification mechanism.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements continuous feedback loops where ticket transactions are recorded on the blockchain, and verification status is continuously updated and accessible to all parties. This real-time feedback mechanism ensures ticket security while maintaining user convenience, as the blockchain automatically validates transactions without requiring manual intervention.
2Productivity
If macro programs are allowed for mass ticket purchasing, then purchasing efficiency is improved, but illegal reselling and price gouging worsen
Solution Approach 1:
The blockchain system provides real-time feedback on ticket distribution and ownership. By recording all transactions immutably on the distributed ledger, the system can monitor and control mass purchasing activities, preventing illegal reselling while maintaining efficient purchasing through automated smart contracts that enforce pricing and distribution rules.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces traditional mechanical ticket verification and control systems with blockchain-based cryptographic verification. This substitution enables automated enforcement of purchasing rules and prevents illegal activities while maintaining high purchasing efficiency through programmatic transaction validation.
3Reliability
If identification verification procedures are implemented, then ticket genuineness is improved, but user convenience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The blockchain system enables self-service verification where users can independently verify ticket authenticity through the distributed ledger without requiring manual identification checks by staff. The ticket itself contains cryptographic proof of genuineness that users can verify autonomously, eliminating inconvenient verification procedures while maintaining high reliability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces manual identification verification with automated cryptographic verification embedded in the ticket token. This substitution eliminates the need for inconvenient physical identification checks while ensuring ticket genuineness through blockchain-based digital signatures and verification mechanisms.
4Device complexity
If traditional ticket issuance methods are used, then system simplicity is improved, but resource waste and ticket management issues worsen
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces physical ticket issuance and distribution with digital ticket tokens on the blockchain. This substitution eliminates resource waste associated with physical ticket production, storage, and distribution while maintaining system simplicity through automated smart contract-based ticket management that handles issuance, transfer, and validation digitally.

AI summary
The present invention relates to a method for providing an online ticket service by using a blockchain network, comprising steps of: (a) in response to acquiring ticket reservation information corresponding to a ticket purchased by a purchaser from a ticket sale server, creating a ticket token corresponding to the ticket by referring to the ticket reservation information, and registering generated information on the ticket token in a distributed ledger of a blockchain network; and (b) transmitting the ticket token to a seller token wallet corresponding to the seller of the ticket, thereby (i) causing the seller token wallet to transmit the ticket token to a user token wallet corresponding to the user of the ticket, and (ii) registering movement information of the ticket token from the seller token wallet to the user token wallet in the distributed ledger of the blockchain network.
