And admitting the authorized user.

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a diagram showing the overall configuration of a system for booking / purchasing a ticket using a Bluetooth communication of the present invention and entering using RFID.

The mobile communication device 10 is a terminal having a port 11 for Bluetooth communication, an authentication chip 12 for internet banking, and an RFID tag 13 for RFID communication. The mobile communication device 10 requests the server 30 to reserve / purchase a ticket through the Bluetooth receiving sensor 21, and the server 30 searches for an excess of the ticket and transmits the information to the user. When the user makes a decision, each ticket information is stored in the mobile communication device 10 and the server 30. In this process, the server 30 is connected to the micropayment system of the bank / card company 40 or the communication company 41. You will be asked to approve and approve payment.

When the user contacts the mobile communication device 10 with the RFID communication terminal 21 of the entrance when the ticket is used, such as a theater, stadium, restaurant, station terminal, etc., the RFID tag 13 of the mobile communication device 10 The RFID communication terminal 21 transfers the information from the server 30 to obtain the ticket information and approves. If approved, the automatic gate 32 of the entrance opens and the ticket information is displayed through the automatic gate or the video output device 31 mounted nearby, and at the same time the ticket information is output from the video output device of the mobile communication device 10. do.

2 is a flowchart illustrating a method of booking / purchasing a ticket and entering a ticket in a ticket service server with a built-in Bluetooth communication port and connected to the Internet.

First embodiment

When the user drives the ticket reservation / purchase program 201 installed in the mobile communication device 10 within a section in which communication with the sensor is possible, communication with the server is started by Bluetooth communication. The ticket information search 202 searches for a desired ticket and makes a desired ticket selection reservation 203. In this process, the payment process is included. When the payment request 204 is initiated, the payment process is started through the Internet, and a payment method selection (205) such as a card, a mobile phone payment, and a bank transfer is made according to the card company / bank. (40) Requesting the payment approval 206 to the mobile communication device carrier 41 and passing the approval result back to the ticket deposit / purchase system, the approval / purchase 207 is made and the information of the ticket is transmitted to the mobile communication terminal 10 And the ticket server 30 are stored at the same time (208, 209).

Second embodiment

The second embodiment shows a process for the user to enter the ticket use destination. When the mobile communication device 10 contacts the RFID terminal 21, the ticket destination system communicates with the RFID tag 13 of the mobile communication device 10 to receive the ticket data 211. If the information of the server 30 is validated 212 and the information received from the server 30 does not match, the failure message is displayed on the mobile communication device 10 and the video display device 31 of the user. (213) (214). If the information matches, the approval is successful (215) and the ticket information (216, 217) is output to the video output device (31) and the mobile communication device (10) of the place of use, respectively, and the entrance (218) can be made.
