Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an entrance / exit management system for managing entrance / exit to a specific place such as an event venue.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In order to enter a venue such as a concert, an admission ticket is usually required. Traditional admission tickets are usually issued by paper media, but printing and sales are costly. Therefore, with the recent popularization of mobile phones and the rapid progress of the technology, the two-dimensional barcode displayed on the display device of the mobile phone is applied in place of the admission ticket that was issued on the old paper medium. Technology is also being developed.
[0003]
If it is a two-dimensional barcode entrance ticket, there is no need to print on paper media. For example, it is possible to issue a large number of tickets with slightly different features such as different seat numbers at a low cost. it can. In addition, since online transmission can be performed via a communication line, it is possible to keep sales costs low without requiring a manpower to deliver an entrance ticket to a purchaser.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, the two-dimensional barcode entrance ticket displayed on the display device of the mobile phone is greatly different from the paper media entrance ticket, which is analog data, in that it is sold as digital data. In analog data, it is virtually impossible to duplicate a genuine product that exactly matches the genuine product, but a digital data admission ticket can easily duplicate a genuine product that exactly matches the genuine product. For this reason, there arises a problem that a person who tries to enter the event venue illegally appears by using an illegally duplicated two-dimensional barcode entrance ticket.
[0005]
In addition, regardless of what form the admission ticket is sold in, the conventional event venue checks whether the person trying to enter has a regular admission ticket. Normally, no check was made when leaving. With this, it is completely impossible to crack down on a person who has illegally entered. In addition, what was done to re-enter those who left the event venue was a simple method such as stamping, and there was a great risk of unauthorized entry here.
[0006]
Therefore, at the entrance and exit to the event venue, and even if there is a dedicated entrance for temporary exit-re-entry, even if there is a strict check for all those entering and exiting the event venue, Unauthorized admission can be avoided to a great extent. However, the cost for this check is too high, and it makes no sense to reduce the cost for issuing and selling the admission ticket.
[0007]
Furthermore, when a strict check is performed, there is a problem that the flow of people for entering and leaving the event venue is delayed. When entering an event venue, even if the start time of the event is fixed, it is normal for people to have different entry times, so this will not be a big problem. . On the other hand, with regard to leaving from the event venue, since many people try to leave all at once immediately after the end of the event, the problem is that the flow of people is stagnant.
[0008]
The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems of the prior art, and provides an entrance / exit management system and method capable of preventing unauthorized entry to a specific place, and a program therefor. For the purpose.
[0009]
The present invention also provides an entrance / exit management system and method capable of managing entrance / exit to a specific location without disturbing the flow of people leaving the specific location, and a program therefor. For the purpose.
[0010]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve the above object, an entrance / exit management system according to the first aspect of the present invention comprises:
An entrance input for inputting a user's identification information stored in a portable medium that can be carried by the user and an entrance ticket for entering a specific location from an input device installed at the entrance of the specific location. Means,
For each admission ticket, admission ticket registration means for registering the user identification information input from the admission port input means in association with each other,
Exit exit input means for inputting user identification information stored in the portable medium from an input device installed at the exit of the specific location;
Whether the user identification information input from the exit exit input means is registered in the admission ticket registration means, and the admission ticket registered in the admission ticket registration means in association with the user identification information In addition, first admission registration determination means for determining whether or not other user identification information is also registered in association with each other,
When the first admission registration determination means determines that the user identification information is registered and the other user identification information is not registered in association with the first admission registration determination means, the exit entry of the specific place Exit gate opening means for opening the installed exit gate; and
It is characterized by providing.
[0011]
Here, the first entrance registration determination means and the exit gate opening means may be distributed processing by a computer device different from other means. In this case, for the admission ticket in which the user identification information is duplicated among the admission ticket registration means, only the user identification information that is duplicated in the registration contents is used as the first admission registration determination means. Can be sent to a computer device including The user identification information is a concept including identification information of a portable medium.
[0012]
In the above entrance / exit management system, even if multiple people enter a specific place with one admission ticket due to illegal duplication, the entrance gate will be used for those who entered with an admission ticket that had illegal duplication. Since it is not open, it is not possible to exit from a specific place through the exit. Also, a person who illegally enters a specific place without having an entrance ticket cannot leave the specific place through the exit because the exit gate is not opened.
[0013]
That is, since a person who enters a specific place by unauthorized means is captured at the exit, unauthorized entry to the specific place can be prevented by a psychological pressure effect. In addition, in the entry device at the entrance, it is necessary to input the user identification information and the entrance ticket. However, in the entry device at the exit, only the user identification information is required. For this reason, the flow of the person for the exit is not obstructed at the exit where there is a high possibility that more people will concentrate than the entrance at the same time.
[0014]

When the opening / closing gate 16 receives an opening permission notification message from the server device 6, the arm 16 a is in an open state so that only one person can pass at a time. When the alarm device 17 receives the unauthorized entry notification message from the server device 6, the alarm device 17 issues an alarm indicating that there is an unauthorized entry to the event venue 1.
[0059]
FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the server device 6. The server device 6 performs processing for issuance of entrance tickets and management of entrance / exit by cooperation with the entrance gate 2, the temporary exit gate 3, the re-entry gate 4, and the exit gate 5. The server device 6 is constituted by a general-purpose computer device, and includes a CPU 61, a storage device 62, a first communication device 63, and a second communication device 64 as shown in the figure. Further, as a database, an admission ticket database 65 and a re-entry ticket database 66 are provided.
[0060]
CPU61 executes the program memorize | stored in the memory | storage device 62, issues an admission ticket and a re-entry ticket, or manages the entrance / exit to the event hall 1 based on the information sent from the gates 2-5. The process is performed. The storage device 62 includes a main storage device and an auxiliary storage device, stores a processing program of the CPU 61, and is used as a data storage area. The first communication device 63 transmits and receives information to and from the gates 2 to 5 via the communication line 7. The second communication device 64 transmits / receives information to / from the mobile phone 8 via the network 9.
[0061]
The admission ticket database 65 is a database for registering information related to admission tickets to the event venue 1 that is regularly sold. As shown in FIG. 5, variable-length data of one record is created for each admission ticket. The data of each record includes a ticket ID, a two-dimensional barcode serving as an entrance ticket, an address of a person who purchased the entrance ticket, an exit check flag, and an individual number of the mobile phone 8.
[0062]
The ticket ID is identification information unique to each admission ticket, and serves as a key for referring to the admission ticket database 65 and the reentry ticket database 66. The two-dimensional barcode of the entrance ticket is issued by online sales and is the same as that transmitted to the mobile phone 8 of the purchaser. The address is a destination to which an admission ticket is transmitted at the time of purchase and a destination to which a re-entry ticket issued correspondingly is transmitted.
[0063]
The exit check flag is a flag that is set when a person who enters with the entrance ticket leaves the exit gate 5. The individual number of the mobile phone 8 is sent from the entrance gate 2 together with the entrance ticket. Since there are cases where the entrance gate 2 enters the event venue 1 by an illegally duplicated entrance ticket, if there are multiple individual numbers sent from the entrance gate 2 corresponding to the entrance ticket, all of them Will be registered.
[0064]
The re-entry ticket database 66 is a database for registering information related to a re-entry ticket issued for a person who has temporarily left the event hall 1 to re-enter the event hall 1. As shown in FIG. One record of variable length data is created for each. The data of each record includes a ticket ID, a two-dimensional barcode serving as a re-entry ticket, a re-entry ticket issue date and time, a re-entry check flag, and an individual number of the mobile phone 8.
[0065]
The same ticket ID as the ticket ID of the admission ticket corresponding to the re-entry ticket is registered. The two-dimensional bar code of the re-entry ticket is issued upon temporary exit from the temporary exit gate 3, and is sent to the mobile phone 8 of the person who has temporarily exited (however, when having a regular entrance ticket) Is the same. The re-entry ticket issuance date is registered to limit the expiration date of the re-entry ticket.
[0066]
The re-entry check flag is a flag that is set when the re-entry gate 4 enters the event venue 1 using the re-entry ticket. The individual number of the mobile phone 8 is sent from the re-entry gate 4 together with the re-entry ticket. In some cases, an illegally duplicated re-entry gate may enter the event venue 1 from the re-entry gate 4, and there are multiple individual numbers sent from the re-entry gate 4 corresponding to the re-entry ticket. Are all registered.
[0067]
Hereinafter, processing in the entrance / exit management system according to this embodiment will be described. In this entrance / exit management system, (1) management of entrance to event venue 1, (2) management of temporary exit from event venue 1, (3) management of re-entry to event venue 1, (4) event venue Management of exit from 1 is performed. As a premise, it is necessary to sell the entrance ticket to the event venue 1 in a regular manner.
[0068]
FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing a process for selling an admission ticket. This process is executed by the cellular phone 8 of the person who intends to purchase the admission ticket and the server device 6.
[0069]
The user of the mobile phone 8 acquires an application form for the admission ticket and displays it on the display device 86. The user operates the key input device 85 in accordance with the displayed application form to input items (hereinafter referred to as application items) necessary for applying for an entrance ticket purchase (step S101). The application item includes at least an address for transmitting information to the mobile phone 8 of the user. When the input content is confirmed, the CPU 81 transmits the application item from the communication device 87 to the server device 6 via the network 9 (step S102).
[0070]
When the second communication device 64 of the server device 6 receives the application item from the mobile phone 8, it is temporarily stored in the storage device 62 (step S121). The CPU 61 issues an entrance ticket composed of an unused two-dimensional barcode on condition that the applied entrance ticket is not sold out. The issued entrance ticket is temporarily stored in the storage device 62 (step S122). The CPU 61 assigns a unique ticket ID to the admission ticket, creates a new record in the admission ticket database 65, and applies for the ticket ID and the two-dimensional barcode of the admission ticket temporarily stored in step S122. Registration is performed in association with the address included in the item (step S123).
[0071]
The CPU 61 transmits the two-dimensional barcode of the admission ticket issued in step S122 and temporarily stored in the storage device 62 from the second communication device 64 to the cellular phone 8 that has applied for it via the network 9 ( Step S124). When the communication device 87 of the mobile phone 8 receives the two-dimensional barcode of the entrance ticket (step S103), it is stored in the RAM 83 (step S104). This completes the sale of the admission ticket.
[0072]
A person who has purchased an entrance ticket as described above can enter the event venue 1 by bringing the mobile phone 8 stored in the RAM 83. By the way, in order to enter the event venue 1 using this entrance ticket, an operation for displaying this on the display device 86 and causing the barcode reader 15 to read it, and for transmitting the individual number of the individual number memory 84 by infrared rays is performed. Operation is essential. Before describing each process for managing entry / exit to the event venue 1, these points will be briefly described.
[0073]
When the user passes through each of the gates 2 to 5, the user performs an operation such as pressing a specific button of the key input device 85 with the infrared transmission device 88 of the mobile phone 8 facing the infrared reception device 14. In response to this operation, the CPU 81 of the mobile phone 8 reads the individual number stored in the individual number memory 84 and passes it to the infrared transmitter 88. The infrared transmission device 88 processes the information of the individual number passed from the CPU 81 into an infrared signal, and transmits the infrared signal to the infrared reception device 14 with a predetermined synchronization signal. The infrared receivers 14 of the gates 2 to 5 are always in a standby state for receiving an infrared signal, and receive an individual number as an infrared signal by detecting a synchronization signal.
[0074]
Further, when the user passes through the entrance gate 2 or the re-entry gate 4, the user performs a predetermined operation from the key input device 85 of the mobile phone 8 to instruct the CPU 81 to display the entrance ticket or the re-entry ticket. Let them enter. The CPU 81 of the mobile phone 8 reads the admission ticket or the re-entry ticket stored in the RAM 83, develops it into a frame memory provided in the RAM 83 as a two-dimensional bar code, and displays it on the display device 86. The user presses the display device 86 of the mobile phone 8 on which the entrance ticket or the re-entry ticket is displayed against the barcode reader 15 of the gates 2 and 4. When the bar code reader 15 detects that the display device 86 is pressed by an optical sensor or the like, the bar code reader 15 reads the two-dimensional bar code of the entrance ticket or the re-entry ticket displayed on the display device 86.
[0075]
Next, the entrance / exit management process in the entrance / exit management system according to this embodiment, that is, the above-described processes (1) to (4) will be described in detail with reference to flowcharts.
[0076]
FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing a process for managing entrance to the event venue 1. The process of this flowchart is performed by the cooperation of the entrance gate 2 and the server device 6.
[0077]
First, when the user of the mobile phone 8 transmits the individual number by the infrared signal from the infrared transmission device 88 to the infrared reception device 14 of the entrance gate 2 as described above, the infrared reception device 14 is transmitted to the infrared transmission device 88. The individual number by the infrared signal from is received (step S201). Further, when the user of the mobile phone 8 displays the two-dimensional barcode entrance ticket on the display device 86 and presses it against the barcode reader 15 of the entrance gate 2 as described above, the barcode reader 15 The barcode entrance ticket is read (step S202).
[0078]
The CPU 11 transmits the individual number received by the infrared receiving device 14 and the entrance ticket read by the barcode reader 15 from the communication device 13 to the server device 6 via the communication line 7 (step S203). Thereafter, the entrance gate 2 enters a waiting state for receiving a message (open permission notification message or unauthorized entrance notification message) sent from the server device 6.
[0079]
In the server device 6, when the first communication device 63 receives the individual number and the admission ticket transmitted from the admission gate 2 in step S203 (step S221), the CPU 61 registers the received admission ticket in the admission ticket database 65. It is determined whether it has been performed (step S222). When the entrance ticket is registered, the CPU 61 determines whether or not the exit check flag included in the record of the entrance ticket database 65 corresponding to the entrance ticket is set (step S223).
[0080]
If the exit check flag is not set, the CPU 61 registers the individual number received in step S221 in the record of the entrance ticket database 65 corresponding to the entrance ticket. Here, even if some individual number has already been registered, the individual number received in step S221 is registered in an overlapping manner (step S224). Further, the CPU 61 transmits an opening permission notification message from the first communication device 63 to the entrance gate 2 via the communication line 7 (step S225).
[0081]
When the opening permission notification message is transmitted, the CPU 61 issues a seat number to be assigned to the user in the event hall 1 if necessary (step S226). The CPU 61 transmits the issued seat number to the mobile phone 8 of the user according to the address registered in the admission ticket database 65 (step S227). The display device 86 of the mobile phone 8 that has received the information displays the seat number in the event venue 1 so that the user can get to the seat assigned to him / her.
[0082]
If the entrance ticket is not registered in step S222, or if the exited check flag is set in step S223, the CPU 61 sends an unauthorized entry notification message from the first communication device 63 via the communication line 7. To be sent to the entrance gate 2 (step S228). The processing on the server device 6 side is thus completed.
[0083]
When the opening permission notification message is transmitted in step S225, the communication device 13 receives the opening permission notification message in the entrance gate 2 that has been waiting to receive the message (step S204). In response to the release permission notification message, the CPU 11 causes the open / close gate 16 to open the arm 16a, and passes the user who has entered the individual number and the entrance ticket (step S205). As a result, the user can enter the event venue 1. And the process of this flowchart is complete | finished.
[0084]
On the other hand, when the unauthorized entry notification message is transmitted in step S228, the communication device 13 receives the unauthorized entry notification message in the entrance gate 2 that has been waiting to receive the message (step S206). In response to receiving the unauthorized entry notification message, the CPU 11 causes the alarm device 17 to issue an alarm (step S207). And the process of this flowchart is complete | finished.
[0085]
FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing a process for managing temporary exit from the event venue 1. The process of this flowchart is performed by the cooperation of the temporary exit gate 3 and the server device 6.
[0086]
First, when the infrared receiver 14 receives the individual number from the mobile phone 8 (step S301), the CPU 11 of the temporary exit gate 3 causes the communication device 13 to transmit this to the server device 6 via the communication line 7 (step S301). S302). Thereafter, the temporary exit gate 3 enters a state of waiting for a message sent from the server device 6.
[0087]
In the server device 6, when the first communication device 63 receives the individual number transmitted from the temporary exit gate 3 in step S302 (step S321), the CPU 61 stores the individual number in any record of the entrance ticket database 65. It is determined whether it is registered (step S322). If the individual number is registered, the CPU 61 further determines whether another individual number is registered in the record of the admission ticket database 65 where the individual number is registered (step S323).
[0088]
When other individual numbers are not registered again, the CPU 61 issues an unused re-entry ticket. The CPU 61 creates a new record in the re-entry ticket database 66, and registers the ticket ID and the current issuance date and time included in the record of the admission ticket corresponding to the received individual number together with the re-entry ticket issued to the record. (Step S324).
[0089]
The CPU 61 causes the second communication device 64 to transmit the two-dimensional barcode of the issued re-entry ticket from the second communication device 64 via the network 9 with the address included in the record of the admission ticket corresponding to the received individual number as the destination (step S325). ). If the entrance ticket stored in the mobile phone 8 that has received the individual number at the temporary exit gate 3 in step S301 is genuine, the mobile phone 8 receives the re-entry ticket transmitted here. To be.
[0090]
Next, the CPU 61 transmits a release permission notification message from the first communication device 63 to the temporary exit gate 3 via the communication line 7 (step S326). On the other hand, if the individual number is not registered in step S322, or if another individual number is registered in step S323, the CPU 61 sends an unauthorized entry notification message from the first communication device 63 to the communication line 7. Through the temporary exit gate 3 (step S327). The processing on the server device 6 side is thus completed.
[0091]
Thereafter, the process (steps S303 to S306) performed by the temporary exit gate 3 waiting for receiving a message based on the release permission notification message or the unauthorized entry notification message from the server device 6 is performed by the entrance gate 2. The same as (Steps S204 to S207). In this case, however, the arm 16a of the open / close gate 16 is opened, so that the user can leave the event venue 1.
[0092]
FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing a process for managing re-entry into the event venue 1. The process of this flowchart is performed by the cooperation of the re-entry gate 4 and the server device 6.
[0093]
First, the infrared receiver 14 receives the individual number from the mobile phone 8 (step S401), and the barcode reader 15 reads the re-entry ticket displayed on the display device 86 of the mobile phone 8 (step S402). The CPU 11 of the entrance gate 4 transmits the individual number and the re-entry ticket from the communication device 13 to the server device 6 via the communication line 7 (step S403). Thereafter, the temporary exit gate 3 enters a state of waiting for a message sent from the server device 6.
[0094]
In the server device 6, when the first communication device 63 receives the individual number and the re-entry ticket transmitted from the re-entry gate 4 in step S403 (step S421), the CPU 61 determines that the received re-entry ticket is the re-entry ticket database. It is determined whether it is registered in 66 (step S422). When the re-entry ticket is registered, the CPU 61 extracts the ticket ID of the re-entry ticket from the re-entry ticket database 66, and sets the exit check flag included in the record of the admission ticket database 65 corresponding to the extracted ticket ID. It is determined whether it has been performed (step S423).
[0095]
If the exit check flag has not been set, the CPU 61 further refers to the re-entry ticket database 66, and the re-entry ticket has not passed since the re-entry ticket issuance date and time until the present. It is determined whether it is in a valid state (step S424). If the re-entry ticket is valid, the CPU 61 registers the individual number received in step S421 in the record of the re-entry ticket database 66 corresponding to the re-entry ticket. Also here, if any individual number has already been registered, the individual number received in step S421 will be registered again (step S425).
[0096]
The CPU 61 also sets a re-entry check flag included in the record of the re-entry ticket database 66 corresponding to the re-entry ticket (step S426). Further, the CPU 61 causes the first communication device 63 to transmit a release permission notification message to the re-entry gate 4 via the communication line 7 (step S427).
[0097]
If the re-entry ticket is not registered in step S422, if the exited flag is set in step S423, or if the re-entry ticket is not valid in step S424, the CPU 61 An entrance notification message is transmitted from the first communication device 63 to the re-entry gate 4 via the communication line 7 (step S428). The processing on the server device 6 side is thus completed.
[0098]
Thereafter, the process (steps S404 to S407) performed by the re-entry gate 4 waiting for message reception based on the release permission notification message or the unauthorized entry notification message from the server device 6 is performed by the entrance gate 2. The same as (Steps S204 to S207).
[0099]
FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing a process for managing exit from the event venue 1. The process of this flowchart is performed by the cooperation of the exit gate 5 and the server device 6.
[0100]
First, when the infrared receiving device 14 receives the individual number from the mobile phone 8 (step S501), the CPU 11 of the exit gate 5 transmits this from the communication device 13 to the server device 6 via the communication line 7 (step S502). ). Thereafter, the exit gate 5 waits for a message sent from the server device 6.
[0101]
In the server device 6, when the first communication device 63 receives the individual number transmitted from the exit gate 5 in step S502 (step S521), the CPU 61 registers the individual number in any record of the entrance ticket database 65. It is determined whether it has been performed (step S522). If the individual number is registered, the CPU 61 determines whether another individual number is registered in the record of the admission ticket database 65 where the individual number is registered (step S523). If no other individual number is registered on the record of the admission ticket database 65, the CPU 61 further superimposes another individual number on the record of the re-entry ticket database 66 in which the individual number is registered. It is determined whether it is registered (step S524).
[0102]
If no other individual number is also registered in the record of the re-entry ticket database 66, the CPU 61 then sends an opening permission notification message from the first communication device 63 to the exit gate 5 via the communication line 7. Transmit (step S525). Further, the CPU 61 sets an exit check flag included in the record of the entrance ticket database 65 including the individual number (step S526). On the other hand, when another individual number is registered in step S522 or S523, the CPU 61 transmits an unauthorized entry notification message from the first communication device 63 to the exit gate 5 via the communication line 7 (step S52). S527). The processing on the server device 6 side is thus completed.
[0103]
Thereafter, the processing (steps S503 to S506) performed by the exit gate 5 waiting for message reception based on the release permission notification message or the unauthorized entrance notification message from the server device 6 (steps S503 to S506) This is the same as steps S204 to S207). In this case, however, the arm 16a of the open / close gate 16 is opened, so that the user can leave the event venue 1.
[0104]
In addition, when the alarm device 17 of the entrance gate 2 or the re-entry gate 4 issues an alarm, an illegally duplicated entrance ticket or re-entry ticket has been read or cannot be used effectively. This is when an admission ticket or a re-entry ticket is read. In this case, even if there is a processing error in the server device 6 or the entrance gate 2 or the re-entry gate 4, the person is stopped at the entrance gate 2 or the re-entry gate 4 in the closed state and enters the event venue 1. I can't enter.
[0105]
If there is such a person, the attendant at the event venue 1 checks whether the admission ticket or the re-entry ticket held on the mobile phone 8 of the person is valid and valid. If it is known that the person has a valid and valid entry ticket or re-entry ticket, the person can be allowed to enter the event venue 1. If one knows that he / she does not have a legitimate and valid entry ticket or re-entry ticket, the person can be cracked down.
[0106]
In addition, when the alarm device 17 of the temporary exit gate 3 or the exit gate 5 issues an alarm, the same entrance ticket or re-entry ticket (however, illegally duplicated except for one) is used. This is a case where a plurality of persons enter the event venue 1. In this case, regardless of whether or not the person has a regular admission ticket, he / she is stuck at the temporary exit gate 3 or the exit gate 5 in the closed state and cannot go out of the event venue 1.
[0107]
If there is such a person, the attendant at the event venue 1 asks for the presentation of an identification card, etc., and confirms whether or not the person has purchased the entrance ticket. If it is known that the person has purchased the entrance ticket, the person can be withdrawn from the event venue 1. If you know that you have illegally copied the admission ticket, you can crack down on that person.
[0108]
Hereinafter, a specific flow when the entrance / exit to the event venue 1 is managed by applying the entrance / exit management system according to this embodiment will be described. First, the case where multiple people enter the event venue 1 with the same admission ticket from the entrance gate 2, and secondly, those who have not entered the entrance gate 2 from the re-entry gate 4 will enter the event venue. Each case will be described as an example.
[0109]
FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating a first example of entrance / exit management. First, suppose that B, who illegally duplicated the same entrance ticket that A purchased, tries to pass through the entrance gate 2. At this point, since only one person is trying to pass through the entrance gate 2 with the same entrance ticket, it is not known that unauthorized duplication is being performed, and B can enter the event venue 1 through the entrance gate 2 ( (1)).
[0110]
Next, it is assumed that A who has purchased a regular entrance ticket attempts to pass through the entrance gate 2. At this point, it can be seen that the admission ticket has been illegally duplicated, but it is not known whether the admission ticket has been illegally duplicated by A or B who has already entered. . Therefore, A can enter the event venue 1 through the entrance gate 2 ((2)). Here, in the admission ticket database 65, the individual number of the A mobile phone 8 and the individual number of the B mobile phone 8 are registered in the same admission ticket record.
[0111]
Next, suppose that A tries to leave the event venue 1 through the exit gate 5. At this time, since the individual number of B is also registered in the record of the entrance ticket database 65 in which the individual number of A is registered, the open / close gate 16 of the exit gate 5 is not opened, and A is the exit gate 5. You cannot leave the event venue 1 through (3). The same applies when B tries to leave through the exit gate 5 (4). A and B stopped at the exit gate will receive a personal check by a staff member by issuing an alarm. A who knows that he / she has purchased the entrance ticket by this human check can leave the event venue 1, but B is captured as a person who illegally copied the entrance ticket. In addition, when B tries to leave through the temporary exit gate 3, it is captured in the same manner.
[0112]
FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating a second example of entrance / exit management. C and D who have purchased the regular admission ticket enter the event venue 1. Here, it is assumed that D leaves his / her own mobile phone 8 and C's mobile phone 8 and leaves the event venue 1 through the temporary exit gate 4 ((1)). Thereafter, the re-entry ticket is transmitted to the C mobile phone 8 and the D mobile phone 8. Here, it is assumed that D passes D's mobile phone 8 that has received the re-entry ticket to E who has not purchased the regular entrance ticket.
[0113]
Next, D re-enters the event venue 1 through the re-entry gate 4 using the re-entry ticket displayed on his mobile phone 8 ((2)). Further, it is assumed that E also tries to enter the event venue through the re-entry gate 4 using the re-entry ticket displayed on the mobile phone 8 of C. However, at this point, it is not known that E who is using C's re-entry ticket is not a legitimate purchaser of the admission ticket. Therefore, E can enter the event venue 1 through the re-entry gate 4 ((3)). If E returns the mobile phone 8 to C, the original owner, at the event venue 1, E has only his own mobile phone 8.
[0114]
Next, assume that C tries to leave the event venue 1 through the exit gate 5. At this time, since the individual number of the C mobile phone 8 is registered in the admission ticket database 65, it is possible to leave the event venue 1 through the exit gate 5 (4). Similarly, D can leave the event venue 1 through the exit gate 5 ((5)).
[0115]
Next, assume that E tries to leave the event venue 1 through the exit gate 5. Since E has only his own mobile phone 8, this individual number is transmitted from the mobile phone 8 to the exit gate 5. In the server device 6, it can be seen that the individual number of the E mobile phone 8 sent from the exit gate 5 is not registered in the admission ticket database 65. For this reason, E cannot leave through the exit gate 5 while the open / close gate 16 is closed ((6)). In this way, E is captured as a person who has illegally entered the event venue 1. In addition, when E tries to leave through the temporary exit gate 3, it is captured in the same manner.
[0116]
As described above, in the entrance / exit management system according to this embodiment, when entering the event venue 1 from the entrance gate 2 or the re-entry gate 4, the entrance ticket displayed on the display device 86 of the mobile phone 8 or It is checked whether or not a re-entry ticket is registered. At this time, the individual number of the mobile phone 8 is also input and registered in association with the admission ticket or the re-entry ticket.
[0117]
The individual number of the mobile phone 8 is input at the temporary exit gate 3 or the exit gate 5, and it is checked whether another individual number that has entered using the same entrance ticket or re-entry ticket is registered. When a plurality of individual numbers are registered for the same admission ticket or re-entry ticket, except for one of them, it is an illegally duplicated admission ticket or re-entry ticket. Is closed to prevent such a person from leaving the event venue 1.
[0118]
As a result, even if there is a person who can enter the event venue 1 using an illegally duplicated entrance ticket or re-entry ticket, all such persons are captured at the temporary exit gate 3 or the exit gate 5. In this way, a person who has illegally entered the event venue 1 can be given a psychological pressure that all can be captured, and as a result, an illegal duplication of the entrance ticket or the re-entry ticket results in the event venue. 1 can be prevented from being illegally entered.
[0119]
In addition, in the entrance gate 2 and the re-entry gate 4, it is necessary to input the individual number of the mobile phone 8 and the entrance ticket or the re-entry ticket, but in the temporary exit gate 3 and the exit gate 5, the individual of the mobile phone 8. Just enter the number. The entrance ticket or the re-entry ticket is preferably visualized so that the user can confirm it, and it is necessary to display it on the display device 86 and cause the barcode reader 15 to read it. . On the other hand, the individual number of the mobile phone 8 can be communicated with infrared rays, and the operation of the key input device 85 at that time is also simple, so it can be performed relatively easily. For this reason, the exit from the event venue 1 which only requires the transmission of the individual number of the mobile phone 8 can be performed smoothly without the flow of people being blocked by the temporary exit gate 3 or the exit gate 5.
[0120]
Furthermore, the entrance / exit management system according to this embodiment includes a temporary exit gate 3 and a re-entry gate 4 that are used exclusively for temporary exit or re-entry to the event venue 1, an entrance gate 2 and an exit gate 5. Is provided separately. In order to re-enter the event venue 1, a re-entry ticket different from the admission ticket is required, and the re-entry to the event venue 1 is performed when the re-entry ticket is issued (substantially the event venue 1 From the time of temporary departure from). Further, since the re-entry ticket is issued when the event venue 1 temporarily leaves, the re-entry ticket is not managed for a long time on the user side. For this reason, it is very difficult to illegally duplicate the re-entry ticket, and it is possible to prevent unauthorized entry into the event venue 1 using re-entry.
[0121]
The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications and applications are possible. Hereinafter, modifications of the above-described embodiment applicable to the present invention will be described.
[0122]
In the above embodiment, the two-dimensional barcode that is read by the barcode reader 15 of the re-entry gate 4 is only the re-entry ticket issued by leaving the temporary exit gate 3. On the other hand, both the entrance ticket and the re-entry ticket may be read by the bar code reader 15 of the re-entry gate 4 and transmitted from the re-entry gate 4 to the server device 6. The server device 6 transmits an opening permission notification message to the re-entry gate 4 only when the received admission ticket and re-entry ticket are associated with each other in the registration in the admission ticket database 65 and the re-entry ticket database 66. It is good. As a result, unauthorized entry to the event venue 1 through the re-entry gate 4 can be more securely prevented.
[0123]
In the above embodiment, the two-dimensional bar code of the admission ticket to be read by the bar code reader 15 of the admission gate 2 is sold online by the process shown in the flowchart of FIG. 7 and transmitted to the mobile phone 8. It was. In this case, since the two-dimensional barcode of the admission ticket is managed by the user of the mobile phone 8 for a long time, the possibility of unauthorized duplication is greatly increased. Therefore, by adding the following modifications to the above embodiment, the entrance ticket necessary for passing through the entrance gate 2 is sent to the purchaser immediately before entering the event venue 1. be able to.
[0124]
FIG. 14 is a diagram schematically showing the configuration of the entrance / exit management system of this modification. In FIG. 14, the description of parts not related to the modification is omitted, and the system includes the temporary exit gate 3, the re-entry gate 4 and the exit gate 5 shown in FIG. The system of this modified example is further provided with a pre-entry gate 101 that is installed in the entrance route 100 to the entrance of the event venue 1 and connected to the server device 6 via the communication line 7. The configuration of the pre-entry gate 101 is the same as the configuration of the other gates 2 to 5 (FIG. 3) (however, the infrared receiver 14 and the alarm device 17 may not be provided). In the process at the time of selling the admission ticket (FIG. 7), the CPU 61 of the server device 6 issues a temporary admission ticket instead of the original admission ticket and transmits it to the mobile phone 8.
[0125]
In the system of this modified example, a person who intends to enter the event venue 1 needs to pass through the pre-entry gate 101 before the entrance gate 2 and receive an original entrance ticket. The temporary entrance ticket is recorded in the database in association with the ticket ID in the same manner as the original entrance ticket, but the temporary entrance ticket can be transferred to another person and the transfer history is recorded.
[0126]
FIG. 15 is a diagram showing a configuration of a temporary entrance ticket database 67 further included in the server device 6 in the system of this modified example. As shown in FIG. 15, each record of the temporary entrance ticket database 67 includes a unique ticket ID for each event ticket, image data of a temporary entrance ticket composed of a two-dimensional barcode, and one or more addresses. Contains. If the temporary entrance ticket has not been transferred, only one address is registered. However, as will be described later, the registered address is added each time the temporary entrance ticket is transferred.
[0127]
A temporary admission ticket is issued each time a purchase application is made from the mobile phone 8, and is transmitted to the mobile phone 8 that has made the purchase application. At this time, a new record is created in the temporary entrance ticket database 67. In addition, the storage area of the temporary entrance ticket (two-dimensional barcode image data) in the mobile phone 8 is provided in the RAM 83.
[0128]
FIG. 16 is a flowchart showing a process for transferring a temporary entrance ticket purchased by a user to another person. First, when the user of the mobile phone 8 inputs a predetermined instruction from the key input device 85, a request for transfer of a temporary admission ticket is sent from the communication device 87 to the server device 6 via the network 9 including the mobile phone network. Is transmitted (step S601). When the second communication device 64 of the server device 6 receives the transfer application request from the mobile phone 8 (step S621), the CPU 61 sends a predetermined transfer application form prepared in advance from the second communication device 64 to the requesting mobile phone. The telephone 8 is returned (step S622).
[0129]
When the communication device 87 of the mobile phone 8 receives the transfer application form sent from the server device 6 (step S602), it is displayed on the display device 86 (step S603). Then, the user of the mobile phone 8 operates the key input device 85 according to the displayed transfer application form, and inputs the address of the person who receives the temporary entrance ticket (step S604). The CPU 81 associates the ticket ID or the temporary entrance ticket with the identifiable information, and transmits the address as the transfer destination from the communication device 87 to the server device 6 via the network 9 (step S605).
[0130]
When the second communication device 64 of the server device 6 receives the address as the transfer destination (step S623), the CPU 61 determines the received address as a temporary entrance ticket according to the ticket ID received together with the address or information that can specify the temporary entrance ticket. Registration in the database 67 (step S624). For example, if only address 1 is registered in the record for registering the received address, the received address is address 2, and if up to address 3 is registered, the received address is address 4.
[0131]
When the registration of the address is completed, the CPU 61 sends the temporary entrance ticket (two-dimensional barcode image data) included in the record in which the new address is registered from the second communication device 64 to the network 9 using the registered address as a destination. (Step S625). The communication device 87 of the other mobile phone 8 receives the temporary entrance ticket thus transmitted (step S641), and stores it in the RAM 83 (step S642). This completes the transfer of the temporary entrance ticket. Note that the two-dimensional barcode of the temporary entrance ticket stored in the RAM 83 in this way can be displayed on the display device 86 when the user inputs a predetermined instruction from the key input device 85.
[0132]
When issuing an admission ticket from the beginning without issuing a temporary admission ticket as in the above embodiment, the transfer history can be recorded in the admission ticket database 65, and the same processing as in FIG. It is also possible to transfer the admission ticket.
[0133]
FIG. 17 is a flowchart showing a process for issuing an original admission ticket from a temporary admission ticket. This process is performed in cooperation with the pre-entry gate 101, the server device 6, and the mobile phone 8.
[0134]
First, the barcode reader 15 of the pre-entry gate 101 reads the two-dimensional barcode of the temporary entrance ticket displayed on the display device 86 of the mobile phone 8 by the operation of the user of the mobile phone 8 (step S701). The CPU 11 of the pre-entry gate 101 transmits this from the communication device 13 to the server device 6 via the communication line 7 (step S702). Next, the CPU 11 causes the open / close gate 16 to open the arm 16a and allows the user who has entered the temporary entrance ticket to pass (step S703). As a result, the user proceeds to the entrance gate 2 through the entrance route 100. This completes the process in the pre-entry gate 101.
[0135]
In the server device 6, when the first communication device 63 receives the temporary entrance ticket transmitted from the entrance gate 2 in step S203 (step S721), the CPU 61 registers the received temporary entrance ticket in the entrance ticket database 65. It is determined whether or not (step S722). If the received temporary entrance ticket is not registered, the processing in the server device 6 is terminated as it is.
[0136]
When the received temporary entrance ticket is registered, the CPU 61 issues an original entrance ticket composed of an unused two-dimensional barcode (step S723). The original admission ticket issued here has no regularity in the form of a temporary admission ticket. Next, the CPU 61 rewrites the issued original entrance ticket with the temporary entrance ticket or associates it with the temporary entrance ticket and registers it in the entrance ticket database 65 (step S724).
[0137]
The CPU 61 transmits the two-dimensional barcode of the original admission ticket from the second communication device 64 via the network 9 with the address registered in the admission ticket database 65 associated therewith as the destination (step S725). . The transmission timing is preferably a timing at which it is considered that the user has not reached the entrance gate 2 after passing through the pre-entrance gate 101. When the communication device 87 of the mobile phone 8 receives the two-dimensional barcode of the entrance ticket (step S741), it is stored in the RAM 83 (step S742). The original issuance of the admission ticket is completed as described above, and thereafter, the same processing as that in the above embodiment may be performed using the original admission ticket.
[0138]
In the entrance / exit management system according to this modification, the entrance ticket necessary for entering the event venue 1 through the entrance gate 2 is issued immediately before based on the temporary entrance ticket. It is not managed by the side. Further, since the admission ticket issued based on the temporary admission ticket is transmitted with the address registered in the admission ticket database 65 as the destination, even if the temporary admission ticket illegally copied is read by the gate 101 before admission, The original entrance ticket does not reach the mobile phone 8 of the person. For this reason, the admission ticket is not duplicated illegally, and illegal admission to the event venue 1 can be prevented.
[0139]
When the temporary entrance ticket and the entrance ticket are registered in the entrance ticket database 65 in association with each other, the entrance gate 2 reads both the temporary entrance ticket and the entrance ticket and transmits them to the server device 6. Can be. The CPU 61 of the server device 6 that has received them is a case where the received temporary entrance ticket and the entrance ticket are registered in the entrance ticket database 65 with the correct correspondence and the exit check flag is not set. Only, the opening permission notification message may be transmitted to the entrance gate 2. It is almost impossible to correctly duplicate both the temporary admission ticket and the admission ticket, and unauthorized entry into the event venue 1 can be more firmly prevented.
[0140]
Further, when the original admission ticket is issued based on the temporary admission ticket, the admission ticket may have an expiration date from issuance in the same manner as the re-entry ticket. That is, the issuance date and time of the admission ticket is registered in the admission ticket database 65, and the CPU 61 of the server device 6 has passed a predetermined time or more from the issuance date and time of the admission ticket when the admission ticket is sent from the admission gate 2. Investigate whether it is. If a predetermined time or more has passed since the admission ticket issuance date and time, an improper admission notification message may be transmitted to the admission gate 2. Thereby, the period during which the admission ticket is managed on the user side can be limited to an extremely short time, and the admission ticket can be prevented from being illegally duplicated.
[0141]
In the above embodiment, the individual number of the mobile phone 8 possessed by the person who entered the event venue 1 is registered in the admission ticket database 65 or the re-entry ticket database 66 in the server device 6 for each admission ticket or re-entry ticket. I was supposed to keep it. Then, the CPU 61 of the server device 6 compares the individual number received from the temporary exit gate 3 or the exit gate 5 with the individual number registered in the admission ticket database 65 or the re-entry ticket database 66, so that individual number duplication registration is performed. If there is no registration, the opening permission notification message is transmitted to the temporary exit gate 3 or the exit gate 5 from the first communication device 63 if there is duplicate registration.
[0142]
On the other hand, if there is an entry or re-entry to the event venue 1 with a plurality of individual numbers with the same admission ticket or re-entry ticket, such individual numbers are sent from the server device 6 to the temporary exit gate 3 and exit gate. 5 may be sent in advance. At the temporary exit gate 3 and the exit gate 5, the individual number sent from the server device 6 is stored in the storage device 12. When the infrared receiver 14 receives the individual number by the infrared signal, the CPU 11 checks whether the received individual number is stored in the storage device 12.
[0143]
If the individual number is not stored, the CPU 11 opens the arm 16a of the open / close gate 16 so that the person can pass through the temporary exit gate 3 or the exit gate 5, and if the individual number is stored. The alarm device 17 can issue an alarm. In this case, since the process related to leaving the event venue 1 can be performed more quickly only in the temporary exit gate 3 or the exit gate 5, it is possible to more smoothly exit the event venue 1.
[0144]
In the above embodiment, when the CPU 61 of the server device 6 receives the individual number of the mobile phone 8 and the re-entry ticket from the re-entry gate 4, is the re-entry ticket registered in the re-entry ticket database 66? It was determined whether the re-entry ticket's exit check flag was set, and whether a predetermined time had passed since the re-entry ticket was issued. Based on the determination result, an unauthorized entry notification message is transmitted to the re-entry gate 4 so that entry into the event venue 1 is impossible. At this time, the received individual number is registered in the re-entry ticket record of the re-entry ticket database 66.
[0145]
By the way, issuance of a re-entry ticket when temporarily leaving the event venue 1 is performed based on the individual number of the mobile phone 8. Therefore, when the re-entry ticket is issued, the individual number of the mobile phone 8 is also registered in the re-entry ticket database 66 in association with it, and the CPU 61 of the server device 6 receives the individual number and the re-entry from the re-entry gate 4. When the admission ticket is received, the correctness of the association may be checked with reference to the re-entry ticket database 66.
[0146]
In the above embodiment, the two-dimensional barcode of the entrance ticket or the re-entry ticket issued by the server device 6 is sent to the mobile phone 8 as it is. On the other hand, in order to prevent the admission ticket or the re-entry ticket from being illegally copied, the two-dimensional barcode may be encrypted, or a digital watermark may be embedded in the two-dimensional barcode. The individual number of the mobile phone 8 can be used as an encryption key / decryption key for encryption / decryption of the two-dimensional barcode of the re-entry ticket.
[0147]
Further, as the electronic watermark, the two-dimensional barcode of the entrance ticket or the re-entry ticket can be intentionally changed from the original two-dimensional barcode content within a range in which error correction is possible. As such a digital watermark, a two-dimensional barcode code that is intentionally added with a geometric pattern that can be corrected by a two-dimensional code can be applied. Here, a company logo, a service name, or the like can be used as a geometric pattern. As a result, it is possible to visually determine from where the two-dimensional barcode as the admission ticket or the re-entry ticket is issued.
[0148]
In the above embodiment, in order to prevent entry to the event venue 1 by unauthorized duplication of the re-entry ticket, the issuance date and time of the re-entry ticket is registered in the re-entry ticket database 66, and a certain period of time can be obtained from here. After a lapse, it was assumed that the user could not re-enter the event venue 1 through the re-entry gate 4. On the other hand, a program written in Java (trademark) language or the like is embedded in the two-dimensional barcode, and the two-dimensional barcode is converted by a predetermined time after being received by the mobile phone 8 by the action of this program. It may be something that breaks down. This program can have a function of periodically checking the time with the server device 6. This program also provides a function to notify the user by sounding a warning sound or changing the color of the barcode when the expiration date of the two-dimensional barcode is near, or when the expiration date of the two-dimensional barcode is over It is possible to have a function of automatically replacing an image or displaying character information to erase a two-dimensional barcode.
[0149]
The method of making it impossible to re-enter the event venue 1 after a certain period of time has passed since the re-entry ticket is issued is not limited to the above, and the two-dimensional barcode distributed to the mobile phone 8 may include time limit information. . The barcode reader 15 can also read the deadline information together with the secondary barcode of the re-entry ticket and transmit the deadline information to the server device 6. The CPU 61 of the server device 6 can determine the validity of the re-entry ticket based on the two-dimensional barcode based on the time limit information sent from the re-entry gate 4.
[0150]
In the above embodiment, the admission ticket and the re-entry ticket are constituted by a two-dimensional barcode having a two-tone two-dimensional matrix pattern. It may be constituted by a barcode having the original pattern. This three-dimensional barcode is obtained by displaying a two-dimensional barcode on each surface of a cube formed of polygons, for example, and the polygon is rotated by an application such as Java. The CPU 61 of the server device 6 can recognize all the codes displayed on each surface of the cube by rotating the polygon. The three-dimensional barcode can include a larger amount of information by increasing the number of faces. Further, for example, even information that cannot be visually recognized can be applied as the above-described admission ticket or re-entry ticket by applying Bluetooth technology or the like.
[0151]
In addition to the two-dimensional barcode of the entrance ticket or the re-entry ticket, the information input from the mobile phone 8 to each of the gates 2 to 5 is the individual number of the mobile phone 8 stored in the individual number memory 84. . Any information unique to each mobile phone 8 or its user can be applied instead of the individual number. The barcode reader 15 can also read the individual number or information that changes to the individual number as visible information.
[0152]
In the above embodiment, the two-dimensional barcode of the admission ticket or the re-entry ticket is stored in the RAM 83 of the mobile phone 8 and displayed on the display device 86, but has a communication function with the server device 6. Other communication terminals can be applied instead of the mobile phone 8. When information that cannot be visually recognized due to application of Bluetooth technology or the like is used instead of the two-dimensional barcode, a wireless communication terminal that does not have a display device can be applied. However, many people can use the system of the present invention by applying a mobile phone having a high penetration rate as a wireless communication terminal.
[0153]
In addition, if it is possible to store unique information such as an individual number and information applied as an admission ticket or a re-entry ticket, a recording medium (such as an IC card) that does not have an information processing function can be used instead of the mobile phone 8. It can also be applied to. When such a recording medium is applied instead of the mobile phone 8, information applied as an entrance ticket or a re-entry ticket issued by the server device 6 may be written through a dedicated writing device.
[0154]
Furthermore, the mobile phone 8 (or a communication terminal or recording medium applied instead) automatically responds to a predetermined radio wave transmitted from each gate 2 to 5 and transmits unique information such as an individual number. Can be. In this case, a person who wants to leave the event venue 1 through the temporary exit gate 3 or the exit gate 5 does not need to perform a special operation, and the person can exit the event venue 1 more smoothly. Further, when the user tries to enter the event hall 1 through the entrance gate 2 or the re-entrance gate 4, the operation that the person must perform is simplified.
[0155]
In the above embodiment, the CPU 61 of the server device 6 generates a two-dimensional bar code (admission ticket, re-entry ticket, or temporary admission ticket) in the same way when sending to any user's mobile phone 8. . However, the display device 86 of the mobile phone 8 varies in size and the number of dots depending on the model.
[0156]
In order to generate the most effective two-dimensional bar code (admission ticket, re-entry ticket or temporary admission ticket) according to the model of the mobile phone 8, the server device 6 further includes a model database 68 shown in FIG. Can do. The model database 68 stores a user ID and information related to the model of the mobile phone 8 (including at least the size of the display device 86 and the number of dots) in association with each other. The CPU 61 of the server device 6 refers to the model database 68 when issuing a two-dimensional barcode (admission ticket, re-entry ticket, or temporary entrance ticket) according to the model of the mobile phone 8 that is the destination. A barcode can be issued.
[0157]
The two-dimensional bar code (admission ticket, re-entry ticket, or temporary admission ticket) transmitted from the server device 6 to the mobile phone 8 may be compressed. The CPU 61 of the server device 6 may generate a barcode (an admission ticket, a re-entry ticket, or a temporary admission ticket) regardless of the model, and then compress the barcode according to the model of the mobile phone 8 that is the destination. it can. The compressed barcode is displayed on the display device 86 of the mobile phone 8 and is read by the barcode reader 15.
[0158]
By doing so, the server device 6 can display a bar code with a fine pattern if the mobile phone 8 is a new type and the display device 86 has a large number of display dots, and the number of display dots can be obtained if the mobile phone 8 is an old type. Even if there is a small amount, a barcode that can be displayed on the display device 86 can be generated. This makes it possible to display a two-dimensional barcode (admission ticket, re-entry ticket, or temporary admission ticket) by making the most of the functions of the display device 86. Even if the user frequently changes the model of the mobile phone 8, a two-dimensional bar code suitable for the new model can be generated. Therefore, the present invention is particularly effective for application to the mobile phone 8 where technological advancement is fast.
[0159]
In the above embodiment, the entrance / exit management system having the configuration shown in FIG. 1 is configured to prevent unauthorized entry to the event venue 1 or to capture a person who has made unauthorized entry. By applying this system configuration, the number of persons in the event venue 1 can be counted. That is, the server device 6 counts up by receiving information that a person has entered the event venue 1 from the entrance gate 2 or the re-entry gate 4, and the person from the temporary exit gate 3 or the exit gate 5 receives the event venue 1. You can count down by receiving information that you have left.
[0160]
The server device 6 does not transmit an opening permission notification message to the entrance gate 2 regardless of whether the regular entrance ticket has been read or not when the number of persons in the event venue 1 exceeds a predetermined number. Thus, it is possible to prevent a person from entering the event venue 1 anew. In this way, it is possible to automatically restrict entry to the event venue 1, and this automatic restriction of entry is particularly effective in event venues such as exhibitions and expositions.
[0161]
In each of the gates 2 to 5, the infrared receiving device 14 receives the individual number of the mobile phone 8 and transmits it to the server device 6. You may make it accumulate | store passing time in a database. By analyzing the passage times of the gates 2 to 5 for each individual number stored in the database, for example, it becomes possible to know the tendency of the time for one person to stay in the event venue 1.
[0162]
In the above embodiment, the event venue 1 is provided with an entrance, a temporary exit, a re-entrance, and an exit, each of which has an entrance gate 2, a temporary exit gate 3, a re-entry gate 4, and an exit gate. 5 was installed. The entrance / exit management system performs both entrance / exit management and temporary exit-re-entry management. On the other hand, it is also possible to perform only entrance / exit management at an event venue where only entrance and exit are provided.
[0163]
In addition, in an event venue where only an entrance and an exit are provided, the gate provided at the entrance also serves as the entrance gate 2 and the re-entry gate 4 described above, and the gate provided at the exit exit is the temporary location described above. The exit gate 3 and the exit gate 5 may be combined. In this case, the gate on the entrance side can designate whether the user enters for the first time or re-entry, and the gate on the exit side can designate whether to leave temporarily or leave. Alternatively, it is possible to construct a system that performs only temporary exit-re-entry management in the above entrance / exit management system.
[0164]
In the above embodiment, the two-dimensional barcode (entrance ticket, re-entry ticket or temporary entrance ticket) issued by the server device 6 is transmitted to the mobile phone 8 and stored in the databases 65 to 67. . When the two-dimensional barcode displayed on the display device 86 of the mobile phone 8 is read by the barcode reader 15 of the entrance gate 2, the re-entry gate 4 or the pre-entrance gate 101, it is stored in the databases 65 to 67. When the same two-dimensional bar code is checked and there is the same one, the opening gate 16 of the entrance gate 2, the re-entry gate 4 or the pre-entry gate 101 is opened according to the opening permission notification message.
[0165]
However, particularly in the entrance gate 2, many people who want to enter the event venue 1 may concentrate in a short time. For this reason, if image patterns such as two-dimensional barcodes are collated one by one, an excessive load may be applied to the server device 6 at a time, and the server device 6 may be down. Further, if a two-dimensional bar code (admission ticket, re-entry ticket or temporary admission ticket) is left in the server device 6, the two-dimensional bar code is illegally stolen from the server device 6 due to hacking and illegally stolen. It may happen that the user enters the event hall 1 illegally using the bar code.
[0166]
Therefore, the following technique can be applied to issue and authenticate a two-dimensional bar code (admission ticket, re-entry ticket, or temporary admission ticket). FIG. 19 is a diagram for explaining a modification that can be applied to issue and authenticate an admission ticket composed of a two-dimensional barcode. In FIG. 19, the two-dimensional barcode of the entrance ticket will be described as an example, but the same method can be applied to the two-dimensional barcode of the re-entry ticket and the temporary entrance ticket (however, separately from each other). Need to be prepared).
[0167]
The storage device 62 of the server device 6 is provided with a first table 111 and a second table 112 shown in FIG. Unlike the above embodiment, the admission ticket database 65 does not store the two-dimensional bar code of the admission ticket (after being transmitted to the mobile phone 8, it is not stored in the server device 6 or any other device. ). Other information stored in the admission ticket database 65 is the same as that described above. In the server device 6, the CPU 61 has a function of digitizing an image pattern as a two-dimensional barcode of the entrance ticket by a predetermined method so that numerical values do not overlap each other if the patterns are different. ing.
[0168]
The first table 111 stores the ticket ID of the admission ticket at a position in the table corresponding to the remainder a obtained by dividing the unique numerical value corresponding to the admission ticket by the divisor A. The second table 112 stores the ticket ID of the admission ticket at a position in the table corresponding to the remainder b obtained by dividing the unique numerical value corresponding to the admission ticket by the divisor B. Two or more ticket IDs can be stored in each storage location of the first table 111 and the second table 112.
[0169]
Here, there is a relationship that the least common multiple of the divisor A and the divisor B is larger than the difference between the maximum value and the minimum value that can be taken by the unique numerical value corresponding to the entrance ticket. When this relationship is satisfied, if the remainder a obtained by dividing the numerical values corresponding to two different entrance tickets by the divisor A matches, the remainder b obtained by dividing the numerical values corresponding to the two entrance tickets by the divisor B respectively. Cannot match. That is, the combination of the remainder a and the remainder b is associated with each individual entrance ticket on a one-to-one basis. The divisor A and the divisor B are preferably relatively prime.
[0170]
Next, with reference to FIG. 19, a description will be given of a case where a new admission ticket is issued and a method for authenticating an admission ticket based on the two-dimensional barcode of the admission ticket issued and transmitted to the mobile phone 8. To do.
[0171]
When the CPU 61 intends to newly issue an entrance ticket based on a request from a user of the mobile phone 8, first, it randomly generates a two-dimensional barcode image pattern of the entrance ticket. This is referred to as an admission ticket (1). Next, a value X1 obtained by digitizing the image pattern of the two-dimensional barcode of the entrance ticket (1) by a predetermined method is obtained. The CPU 61 obtains a remainder a1 obtained by dividing the numerical value X by the divisor A and a remainder b1 obtained by dividing the number X by the divisor B.
[0172]
The CPU 61 extracts the ticket ID registered in each of the storage position corresponding to the remainder a1 in the first table 111 and the storage position corresponding to the remainder b1 in the second table 112. Then, it is determined whether there is a match between the ticket ID extracted from the first table 111 and the ticket ID extracted from the second table 112. Here, if the ticket IDs match, the image pattern of the two-dimensional barcode of the entrance ticket (1) is the one of the two-dimensional barcode of the entrance ticket that has already been issued and transmitted to the other mobile phone 8. This is the same as the image pattern. Therefore, it cannot be newly issued and transmitted to the requesting mobile phone 8.
[0173]
Therefore, the CPU 61 randomly generates an image pattern of the two-dimensional barcode of the entrance ticket again. This is referred to as an admission ticket (2). Next, a value X2 obtained by digitizing the image pattern of the two-dimensional barcode of the entrance ticket (1) by a predetermined method is obtained. The CPU 61 obtains a remainder a2 obtained by dividing the numerical value X by the divisor A and a remainder b2 obtained by dividing the number X by the divisor B.
[0174]
The CPU 61 extracts the ticket ID registered in each of the storage position corresponding to the remainder a2 in the first table 111 and the storage position corresponding to the remainder b2 in the second table 112. Then, it is determined whether there is a match between the ticket ID extracted from the first table 111 and the ticket ID extracted from the second table 112. If there is a match, another two-dimensional barcode image pattern is generated. On the other hand, if the matching ticket ID is not taken out, the two-dimensional barcode image pattern of the entrance ticket (2) has not been issued yet.
[0175]
Therefore, the CPU 61 registers the ticket ID of the entrance ticket newly issued here at the storage position corresponding to the remainder a2 of the first table 111 and the storage position corresponding to the remainder b2 of the second table 112. Also, a record of the registered ticket ID is generated in the admission ticket database 65, and the address of the requesting mobile phone 8 is registered.
[0176]
When the registration of the ticket IDs in the first table 111 and the second table 112 and the generation of a new record in the entrance ticket database 65 are thus completed, the image of the two-dimensional barcode of the entrance ticket (2) generated at random earlier. The pattern is transmitted to the requesting mobile phone 8. The image pattern of the two-dimensional barcode of the admission ticket (2) is discarded when the transmission to the mobile phone 8 is completed. This completes the process for issuing an admission ticket.
[0177]
Next, admission ticket authentication will be described. The image pattern of the two-dimensional barcode of the entrance ticket (referred to as entrance ticket (1) described above) displayed on the display device 86 of the mobile phone 8 and read by the barcode reader 15 of the entrance gate 2 And sent to the server device 6. The CPU 61 obtains a value X1 obtained by digitizing the two-dimensional barcode image pattern of the received entrance ticket (1) by a predetermined method. Further, the CPU 61 obtains a remainder a1 obtained by dividing the numerical value X by the divisor A and a remainder b1 obtained by dividing by the divisor B.
[0178]
The CPU 61 extracts the ticket ID registered in each of the storage position corresponding to the remainder a1 in the first table 111 and the storage position corresponding to the remainder b1 in the second table 112. Then, it is determined whether there is a match between the ticket ID extracted from the first table 111 and the ticket ID extracted from the second table 112. Here, since there is a match, the admission ticket (1) to which the image pattern of the two-dimensional barcode is sent from the admission gate 2 is authenticated as being properly issued, and an opening permission notice is sent to the admission gate 6. send. Here, of course, the individual number of the mobile phone 8 is also registered in the admission ticket database 65. Similarly, the admission ticket (2) is authenticated as being properly issued.
[0179]
Next, an admission ticket displayed on the display device 86 of the mobile phone 8 and read by the bar code reader 15 of the admission gate 2 (an admission ticket (3) having no image pattern as a two-dimensional bar code issued normally) )) Is sent to the server device 6 via the communication line 7. The CPU 61 obtains a value X3 obtained by digitizing the two-dimensional barcode image pattern of the received entrance ticket (3) by a predetermined method. Further, the CPU 61 obtains a remainder a3 obtained by dividing the numerical value X by the divisor A and a remainder b3 obtained by dividing the number X by the divisor B.
[0180]
The CPU 61 extracts the ticket ID registered in each of the storage position corresponding to the remainder a3 in the first table 111 and the storage position corresponding to the remainder b3 in the second table 112. Then, it is determined whether there is a match between the ticket ID extracted from the first table 111 and the ticket ID extracted from the second table 112. However, here, the ticket IDs taken out cannot be matched. Therefore, the CPU 61 shall send an unauthorized entry notification message to the entrance gate 2 on the assumption that the entrance ticket (3) to which the image pattern of the two-dimensional barcode is sent from the entrance gate 2 is not normally issued. .
[0181]
According to the modification described above, it is possible to authenticate the admission ticket composed of the two-dimensional barcode without collating the image pattern of the two-dimensional barcode. For this reason, even when a large number of people try to enter the event hall 1 in a short time, the server device 6 is not overloaded. In addition to the mobile phone 8, the server device 6 and any other device do not store the two-dimensional barcode image pattern of the entrance ticket, so that it is not illegally stolen and prevents unauthorized visitors. Can do.
[0182]
Also, depending on the relationship between the types of image patterns that can be taken by the two-dimensional barcode of the entrance ticket and the number of two-dimensional barcodes that are actually issued, the entry gate 5 or the temporary exit gate 3 was used as an unauthorized visitor. Even if the person himself / herself obtains the regular admission ticket, there is a high possibility that the person illegally copies the ticket. For this reason, it has a very big effect for the control of fraud.
[0183]
In the above embodiment, the programs (such as those shown in the flowcharts of FIGS. 8 to 11) executed by the server device 6 and the CPUs 61 and 11 of the gates 2 to 5 are stored in advance in the storage devices 62 and 12, respectively. It was explained as being. However, all or part of these programs may be stored in a computer-readable recording medium such as a CD-ROM or DVD-ROM and distributed separately from the hardware. Further, all or a part of these programs are stored in a fixed disk device of a Web server device on the Internet, and distributed through a network such as the Internet in accordance with a request from the server device 6 or each gate 2-5. It is good.
[0184]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the present invention, unauthorized entry to a specific place can be prevented. Moreover, it does not hinder the flow of people when leaving a specific place.
