Electronic Ticket Management Application Security and Transfer
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Event tickets are prone to loss or misplacement, and their associated benefits do not easily transfer between individuals or provide additional functionality to electronic devices, limiting their utility.
Innovation Solution
A device equipped with a processor, memory, and input/output interfaces that runs an electronic ticket management application, enabling entry to events and access to associated benefits through NFC, OCR, and other communication methods, allowing for secure storage, transfer, and utilization of electronic tickets.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If electronic tickets are implemented, then ticket security and ease of transfer are improved, but device compatibility and accessibility may worsen
Solution Approach 1:
The system supports multiple ticket formats including barcode, QR code, and magnetic stripe formats, allowing the same electronic ticket system to work across different device types and scanning methods, thus maintaining device compatibility while providing secure electronic ticketing
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates digital copies of traditional physical tickets in multiple formats (barcode, QR code, magnetic stripe) that can be stored on various electronic devices and read by different scanning systems, ensuring broad compatibility while maintaining ticket security through electronic validation
2Ease of operation
If traditional paper tickets are used, then ease of transfer between individuals is improved, but risk of loss and misplacement increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system creates digital replicas of physical tickets that can be instantly transferred between electronic devices through communication protocols, eliminating the physical handling required for paper tickets while maintaining easy transferability through digital sharing mechanisms
Solution Approach 2:
The system replaces the mechanical transfer of physical paper tickets with electronic data transmission through communication interfaces, allowing instant transfer between devices without physical contact while maintaining the ease of transfer through simple digital sharing
3Adaptability or versatility
If event ticket benefits are expanded, then user value and functionality are improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses a single electronic ticket data structure that can represent multiple benefit types (event entry, discounts, digital content access) through standardized fields, allowing expanded functionality without proportionally increasing system complexity through reuse of existing components

AI summary
Systems, methods, and devices for providing and managing electronic event tickets are provided. For example, a device for managing an electronic event ticket may include a processor configured to run an electronic ticket management application, a memory device configured to store data associated with the electronic ticket management application, an electronic display configured to display at least a portion of the data associated with the electronic ticket management application, and an input/output interface configured to receive an electronic ticket and the data associated with the electronic ticket for management by the electronic ticket management application. The electronic ticket management application may be configured to enable the electronic device to gain entry to an event and to obtain at least one other event-related benefit after the electronic ticket is received by the input/output interface.
