Description

  The present invention relates to a ticket sales agency server, a ticket sales agency system, a ticket sales agency method, and a ticket sales agency program that perform ticket sales services for theaters, music concerts, sports, and the like using a method of reading information by distribution code scanning. It is.

  Currently, event organizers such as theaters, music concerts, and sports sell tickets for entering the event through over-the-counter sales, agency consignment sales, and Internet sales. Tickets are paid by cash or card when selling tickets at the store or at the agency, card payments via the Internet for Internet sales, transfer to a post office or bank, convenience store, etc. It is collected by proxy settlement (hereinafter referred to as convenience store settlement), etc. at a store that operates hours.

  In the case of post office or bank transfer, convenience store settlement, as a method of collecting the ticket fee, mail to customers who requested purchase of payment forms with several barcodes (one-dimensional barcode) displayed as payment destination and payment price etc. However, a method of collecting the fee described on the payment form at each window or cash register is often used. Among them, there are many convenience stores that are open 24 hours a day, so this convenience store payment is accepted as very convenient by people who cannot go to banks during the day for payment.

  Convenience store settlement is a system that uses a bar code printed on one surface of a product to manage product management and sales on the store side, such as a POS system or a KIOSK system. That is, when the payment fee is represented by a bar code, the store side can collect the price as a window of a company that provides the service using the existing infrastructure.

  In Japan, JAN barcodes are often used as distribution codes printed on payment forms. JAN is an abbreviation of “Japanese Article Number”, meaning a common product barcode. It was standardized in 1978 by JIS (JIS-X0501) and with the widespread use of POS systems, it is marked on most products that are currently distributed.

  The JAN barcode features a unique low-cost symbol that can be individually identified with an internationally unique number and can be printed using conventional packaging materials and ink. It is easy. In addition to JAN bar codes, bar codes such as standard ITF standard, CODE-128 standard, CODE-39 standard, coder bar (NW-7) standard, and the two-dimensional code shown in Fig. 34 are often used in the market. in use. As a system using a distribution code, it expanded from a POS system using the JAN distribution code in the 1970s to a distribution management system for packing units using the ITF distribution code in the 1980s. Application standards have been established in the field (see Non-Patent Document 1). In addition, a distribution code scanning device from a long distance, such as a laser scanner device, has been developed.

In addition, when selling tickets for event entry on the Internet, the audience is required to make online ticket reservations via the Internet. At the time of this online reservation, there is a technique in which only the ticket ID is distributed and the right to obtain the ticket is transferred to the user, instead of directly selling the ticket to the customer. In this method, the ticket ID and the ID for identifying the customer are received from the customer on the day of the event, and the customer who has purchased the ticket is judged by checking with the reservation database, and the ticket screen is displayed on the mobile phone held by the customer. (See Patent Document 1).

  However, as a problem on the event organizer side, in a system using a distribution code, there is a limit to the amount of data that can be used according to the standard of the distribution code. Furthermore, the amount of data that can be transmitted has been limited due to the spatial restrictions on the distribution code payment form. Further, since the payment paper is mostly paper, there is a delivery fee for delivery to the user by paper fee, distribution code printing fee, mailing, etc. of the payment paper (first problem).

  As a problem on the user side, it is not possible to pay at the store without the delivered payment form, so if it is lost, it is necessary to have it delivered again from the event hosting company. Further, the user could not pay for 2 to 3 days for delivery (second problem).

  As a problem on the store side, when reading a plurality of distribution codes on payment paper, it is necessary to move the scanner one by one for each distribution code printed or displayed at a separate location. However, the moving time of this scanner device was an obstacle to reading a large amount of distribution codes quickly. Furthermore, since it is performed manually, the reading time can vary depending on the skill level of the person who performs the reading process. Also, the scanner device is equipped with a module that scans the distribution code from various angles and a program that enables accurate reading even when a plurality of distribution codes exist. However, when there is a large amount of information to be scanned, the processing time of this module or program has been a cause of delaying information transmission (third problem).

  Although the method of Patent Document 1 can solve the problem of the payment form, when entering the event venue, the customer inputs the customer ID, ticket ID and password determined at the time of reservation on the Web screen of a mobile phone or the like, and again It was necessary to send it to the server online. Further, the area for displaying customer information that can be transmitted and received as data and the event ticket information for mobile phones is limited to the area for displaying a small amount of data such as a customer ID and a reservation ID. This is because there is a limit to the information that can be transmitted and received between the server and the mobile phone, the amount of information that the customer can input on the mobile phone display device, and the screen area that can display the information to the customer.

  Furthermore, the server side needs to read and collate the database based on the main key such as the customer ID and reservation ID, and return the information to the customer's mobile phone in real time online.

  Also, since it is necessary to collect the ticket price via a separate card company, bank, etc., the card company or bank had to keep customer information separately (fourth problem) .

  Therefore, the present invention reduces the number of online transactions from the customer side terminal to the event hosting company side device by increasing the amount of data transmission between the customer side terminal and the event hosting company side device in a fast and reliable manner. It is another object of the present invention to provide a ticket sales agency server, a ticket sales agency system, a ticket sales agency method, and a ticket sales agency program that can perform all the processes related to ticket sales.

A terminal 1, a store side POS terminal 4 connected to a scanner device 3 that reads a distribution code, a ticket issuing device 7 that reads ticket data displayed on the information communication terminal 1 and performs ticket issuing processing, and the like. The ticket sales proxy server 5, the information communication terminal 1, the POS terminal 4, and the event hosting company 6 side device can be connected by a wired or wireless communication line.

  On the display device 2 of the information communication terminal 1, a distribution code (hereinafter referred to as a transfer code) used for the transfer created from the transfer request data for the ticket price is displayed, and the store-side scanner device 3 displays this transfer code. Information is input to the POS terminal 4 by optical reading. The ticket price payment information acquired by each store is aggregated in the ticket sales agency server 5 which is a higher-level device of the POS terminal 4, and is sent to the event hosting company 6 after undergoing a certain accounting process. At this time, one or more information communication terminals 1 used by one customer may be used. For example, as shown in FIG. 1, first, purchase request data is transmitted by the customer's personal computer (PC) 1a or the like and the transfer request data is received, and the customer himself / herself sends the PC 1a to the information communication terminal 1 such as a mobile phone. The transfer request data may be transferred, or the transfer request data may be transmitted to a plurality of information communication terminals 1.

  At the event venue, a distribution code (hereinafter referred to as a ticket code) used for issuing a ticket created from the ticket data is displayed on the display device 2 of the information communication terminal 1, and this ticket code is used as the code of the ticket issuing device 7. Information is input to the ticket issuing device 7 by optical reading by the scanner unit 20. The customer information and the like of the event acquired by each ticket issuing device 7 is aggregated by the ticket sales agency server 5 and sent to the event hosting company 6 after the event ends. In the embodiment of the present invention, the distribution code refers to a transfer code created from the transfer request data and a ticket code created from the ticket data.

  The main ticket sales agency processing performed by the ticket sales agency server 5 includes: (1) receiving a ticket purchase request from the information communication terminal 1 on the customer side or the PC 1a, and sending the transfer request data of the ticket to the information communication of the sender Processing to send a reply to the terminal 1 or the PC 1a, etc., (2) centralized management of ticket purchase transfer information received from the store-side POS terminal 4, sales information of the ticket, etc., and notification to the event hosting company 6; (3 ) Processing to send ticket data to the information communication terminal 1 that has made regular transfer of the ticket fee, (4) The ticket issuing device 7 is installed at the event venue, and information related to the entrance status of the event is acquired, and the event For example, a process of contacting the host company 6 can be given.

(Generation of distribution code data)
Next, how the distribution code generation means 10c of the information communication terminal 1 generates distribution code data based on the transfer request data and ticket data transmitted from the ticket sales agency server 5 will be described. The distribution code data is composed of 44-digit numerical information of the data on a conventional paper transfer table (see FIG. 12), name information of the transferor, and the like, and a numerical string of the distribution code data to be transmitted is generated from these information. Is done.

As an example, information to be generated as a distribution code is
Transfer table data 91945937999999990300013000304099999900099993
If the name of the transferor was Yamada Taro, the transferer's name was encoded according to the code table in FIG.
Name of transferor 82776292628949
Is converted to a numerical value. Further, the following numerical sequence 1 is obtained by combining the transfer table data and the transfer name.

91945937999999990300013000304099999900099993 82776292628949
Since the above-described numerical sequence cannot be displayed on the display device 2, it is divided in accordance with the displayable screen size, and order information is added to the first two digits of each numerical sequence. As an example,
0191945937999 ... (Image 1)
0299999030001 ... (Image 2)
0330003040999 ... (Image 3)
0499900099993 (Image 4)
0582776292628 ... (Image 5)
06949 ・ ・ ・ (Image 6)
become that way. Furthermore, header information “0006000000001” including attribute information such as the number data (6 sheets in this example) is added to the numerical sequence of these images 1 to 6,
0006000000001 ... (header information)
0191945937999 ... (Image 1)
0299999030001 ... (Image 2)
0330003040999 ... (Image 3)
0499900099993 (Image 4)
0582776292628 ... (Image 5)
06949 ・ ・ ・ (Image 6)
And a distribution code image is generated based on the numerical information.

  Thereafter, the scanner device 3 reads the above-described distribution code images displayed continuously, analyzes the plurality of distribution code information read by the analysis program, and reproduces the same numerical data sequence as the numerical sequence 1. The same processing is also performed in the code scanner unit 20 of the ticket issuing device 7.

(Operation of ticket sales agency system)
A series of operations performed by the ticket sales agency server 5 between the information communication terminal 1, the scanner device 3, the POS terminal 4, and the ticket issuing device 7 in the ticket sales agency system 100 will be described below.

(First time operation)
(A) When a customer purchases an event ticket from the event hosting company side, if the customer is an unregistered new customer, the customer requests input of customer information, and the purchase request receiving means 55b in FIG. The customer's name, address, telephone number of the information communication terminal 1 to be used, and e-mail address are received as customer information (FIG. 5A). Other information such as sex, date of birth, and service content questionnaires may be acquired as customer information. The acquired customer information is given a unique customer number and stored in the customer information storage unit 56c of FIG. If the customer is a registered customer, only the customer number is acquired, and customer information is retrieved and acquired from the customer information storage unit 56c based on the acquired customer number.

(B) After completing the registration of the customer information, the ticket sales agency server 5 prompts the information communication terminal 1 to download an application program for receiving and displaying a dynamic distribution code. At the time of download, screens as shown in FIGS. 14A, 14B, and 14C are displayed on the display device 2 of the information communication terminal 1. FIG. When the download is completed, the initial activation screen of FIG. 15A is displayed.

(C) Next, the display device 2 displays the screens shown in FIGS. 15B and 15C, and inputs a personal identification number for displaying the distribution code. When the input is completed, the screen of FIG. 15 (d) is displayed to notify the completion of registration. The input password is transmitted to the customer information storage unit 56c and stored. In the future, when this application program communicates with the ticket sales agency server 5, authentication processing is performed using this personal identification number.

(Transfer distribution code data)
Next, the operation of the distribution code data transfer process performed by the ticket sales agency server 5 in the ticket sales agency system 100 among the information communication terminal 1, the POS terminal 4, and the ticket issuing device 7 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. To do.

(A) First, in step S101, when a customer who has seen an event advertisement on a poster, magazine, newspaper, Internet site, etc. wants to purchase a ticket for the event, the customer is described in the advertisement. The URL (ticket sales proxy server 5) is accessed via the Internet or the like. At this time, the ticket sales agency server 5 prompts the customer to input a customer number, and acquires customer information based on the input customer number. In the case of a new customer, the above initial registration is performed.

(B) In step S102, the transfer request data creation means 55c of the ticket sales agency server 5 receives the ticket base data (customer information, event information, seat information, transfer, etc.) that the ticket base data reception means 55a receives from the event hosting company 6 in advance. Transfer request data (see FIG. 6) for requesting the customer to transfer the ticket price is created based on the destination information and the issuing device information. The transfer request data transmission means 55d transmits the transfer request data to the mail address registered in the customer information.

(C) In step S103, the distribution code data receiving means 10b of the information communication terminal 1 in FIG. 7 receives this transfer request data and stores it in the distribution code storage device 18. In response to an instruction from the customer, the transfer request data is acquired from the distribution code storage device 18 and displayed on the display device 2 as shown in FIG. This application is downloaded at the first registration. When the payment list is selected / pressed from the keyboard or the like of the input device 11 in FIG. 17A, a payment list as shown in FIG. 17B is displayed. When an event ticket purchased from this payment list is selected and pressed, information such as the transfer fee, transfer deadline, etc. of “XX concert ticket” is presented as shown in FIG. Further, when a request for displaying this transfer code is received via the input device 11, the distribution code generation means 10c in FIG. 7 creates a transfer code composed of a plurality of distribution codes from the received transfer request data. In step S104, the created transfer code is displayed on the display device 2 as shown in FIG. Even in the information communication terminal 1 that does not support the above application, it is possible to acquire transfer request data by a normal mail and display a transfer code as shown in FIG.

  The transfer request data includes control information for switching display, and the switching display control means 10d dynamically switches and displays the transfer code according to the control information. As for the timing of dynamic switching of the transfer code, the screen is changed at a period of about 1/60 seconds in a liquid crystal screen or the like currently used. On the other hand, the scanner device can read one distribution code in about 1/50 to 1/200 second. According to this, in order to be able to read a plurality of dynamic distribution code displays even in the current scanner device, it is preferable to switch the display to the least common multiple of both times, and about 1/10 seconds is appropriate. I can say that. The maximum display time is not constrained because the scanner device 3 does not read the same data multiple times. However, it can be said that the distribution code display period is preferably about 0.1 to 0.5 seconds from the viewpoint of operation.

(D) In step S105, the scanner device 3 connected to the POS terminal 4 reads the transfer code displayed on the display device 2 of the information communication terminal 1 as shown in FIG. As a reading procedure, the light source LED 31 in FIG. 8 irradiates light that has been pulsed on the distribution code, and the mirror 32 reflects this light. The reflected light is inverted by the lens 33, and the CCD image sensor 34 receives the inverted reflected light as an image. Further, the transfer code reading means 30a of the scanner device 3 in FIG. 9 scans the image received by the CCD image sensor 34 from end to end, and acquires an analog waveform. Further, the analog waveform is A / D converted to obtain a digital waveform. This digital waveform is decoded according to the rules. The transfer request data transmission unit 30 b outputs the transfer request data to the POS terminal 4.

  Thereafter, the transfer data receiving means 46a of the POS terminal 4 in FIG. 10 receives the transfer request data, and the analyzing means 46d analyzes it. A method for analyzing a plurality of transfer code images displayed in a switching manner will be described later. The analysis result is stored in the storage device 47. Further, a transfer amount, a transfer destination, and the like are detected from the analyzed transfer request data, and this amount and the like are displayed on the display device 43 of FIG. The store side receives this transfer price from the customer as a proxy. In step S106, the POS terminal 4 adds the transfer destination ID of its own device to the collected transfer fee and the analyzed transfer request data, and transmits it to the ticket sales agency server 5 as transfer information data. The sales transfer information reception registration means 55e of the ticket sales agency server 5 receives this transfer information data. Ticket price payment information and the like acquired by each store is aggregated by the ticket sales agency server 5, and is sent to the event hosting company 6 after a certain accounting process.

(E) In step S107, the ticket data creating means 55g in FIG. 4 creates ticket data for generating a ticket code for issuing a ticket. In addition to the transfer information data, an issuing device ID that identifies the issuing device that issues the ticket is added to the ticket data. The ticket data transmission means 55h in FIG. 4 transmits ticket data to the mail address of the information communication terminal 1 described in the transfer information data.

(F) In step S108, the distribution code data receiving means 10b of the information communication terminal 1 in FIG. 7 receives the ticket data and stores it in the distribution code storage device 18. Upon receiving an instruction from the customer, the distribution code generation means 10c in FIG. 5 acquires ticket data from the distribution code storage device 18 and generates a ticket code. Since the generation process is the same as the transfer code generation process in step S103, the description thereof is omitted. When the ticket list is selected / pressed from the keyboard of the input device 11 on the screen of FIG. 119 (a) displayed on the display device 2, the ticket list as shown in FIG. 19 (b) is displayed. When an event ticket purchased from this ticket list is selected / pressed, information such as an event location, start date and time, and a seat number (not shown) are presented as shown in FIG. Further, when a request for displaying this ticket code is received via the input device 11, the distribution code generation means 10c in FIG. 7 creates a ticket code composed of a plurality of distribution codes from the received ticket data. In step S109, the created ticket code is displayed on the display device 2 as shown in FIG.

(G) In step S110, when the ticket code displayed on the display device 2 of the information communication terminal 1 is arranged near the code reading unit 20a in FIG. 11, the code reading unit 20a reads the code image data, and the code An analog signal is converted into a digital signal by a CCD sensor or the like (not shown) in the scanner unit 20. Further, the code reading unit 20a determines the type of the distribution code, and transmits the ticket data and the type of the distribution code to the ticket data buffer 23a of the control unit 21 via the data transmission unit 20b. The ticket data analysis unit 22a acquires the ticket data temporarily stored in the ticket data buffer 23a, and starts analyzing the ticket data.

  If a plurality of ticket issuing devices 7 are installed, it is checked whether the ticket data issuing device ID (see FIG. 6) is that of its own device before the analysis process. This is to prevent a plurality of tickets from being issued from one ticket code held by the information communication terminal 1. If there is only one ticket issuing device 7, the ticket issuing device 7 may store the ticket data sales ID (see FIG. 6) so that the ticketed data is not issued again. When there are a plurality of devices 7, each ticket issuing device 7 can issue a ticket from one ticket code. For this reason, the screen shown in FIG. 20 is presented to the customer to prompt the user to select a ticket issuing device 7 to issue a ticket. Double ticketing is prevented by issuing a ticket only with the ticket issuing device 7 selected in this way and storing the sales ID of the ticket data once issued by the selected ticket issuing device 7.

  When the verification of the issuing device ID ends normally, as the analysis process, the type of the distribution code is specified, and based on the ticket data consisting of numerical data or several character data, the customer master, company master, Search the ticket master, payment master, etc., and obtain data for printing.

  The template acquisition unit 22b acquires a template suitable for ticket printing, which is set in advance by the ticket sales agency server 5, from the template storage unit 23c. The print data creation unit 22c combines the acquired template and ticket data, and stores them in the print data buffer 23d as print data.

  The printer unit 24 acquires print data from the print data buffer 23d, and outputs the print data on a print sheet as an event entrance ticket 24a as shown in FIG.

(H) Finally, in step S111, as described above, in order to prevent duplicate ticket issuance, ticket issued ticket data is stored and handed over to the event hosting company 6 as information on the entrance status of the day after the event ends.

(Distribution code analysis)
Various methods are conceivable for the transfer data analysis processing by the analysis means 46d of the POS terminal 4 in step S105, and the ticket data analysis processing by the ticket data analysis means 22a in step S110. Two specific examples will be described below. .

  As a first specific example, when a general distribution code is repeatedly displayed as it is on the display device 2, as shown in FIG. 21, there is a method of repeatedly transmitting with a certain waiting time for each cycle. . This will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

(A) First, in step S301, the CPU 30 in FIG. 9 waits without reading until an identifier indicating the waiting time of the distribution code is detected.

(B) When waiting time is detected in step S302, the decoded data transmitted by the distribution code reading means 30a of the CPU 30 is read and registered in the register area of the CPU 30 as shown in FIG. In step S303, it is determined whether or not the next read data is “waiting time” data, and the decoded data to be transmitted is registered in the register until the next waiting time data is read.

(C) In step S304, when all of the decoded set of data is read and the next waiting time data is read, the transfer request data transmitting means 30b communicates and outputs it to the POS terminal 4 as read data.

  As a second specific example, there is a method of embedding header information in a distribution code to be displayed on the display device 2 and removing unnecessary data after data reception by the scanner device 3 by this header information. With this header information, as shown in FIG. 24A, data for notifying the number of distribution codes as the basis of the transmission data is transmitted before the transmission data. In this case, the upper two digits are set to “00” indicating the number data, and the next two upper digits are used to set the number of distribution codes. For example, when four pieces of data are transmitted, it is configured as “00400000...”. In the upper two digits of each transmission data, “01” to “04” or the like for indicating the order is set. This will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

(A) First, in step S401, the distribution code reading means 30a in FIG. 9 reads one transmission data. In step S402, the upper two digits of the transmission data are read and stored in the distribution code storage register (see FIG. 26A) of the CPU 30 corresponding to the two digits.

(B) Next, in step S403, it is determined whether the read two-digit data is “00”, that is, the number data, and if it is the number data, the process proceeds to step S404 and is not the number data. If yes, go to Step S406.

(C) In step S404, the upper 3 to 4 digits of the number data are acquired, and the number of image data to be registered is acquired. In step S405, the number data is stored in the number storage register area of the CPU 30 as shown in FIG.

(D) In step S406, it is determined whether or not the number information is registered in the number storage register. If it has been registered, the process proceeds to step S407, and whether or not all the image data is registered in the distribution code storage register, for example, in the case of FIG. 26, the upper two digits are “01” “02” “03” “04”. It is determined whether the data of has been registered. If not registered, the process returns to step S401, and the operations of S401 to S406 are repeated until all of the number data and other image data are registered in the register.

(E) When all the data in the register are registered, the process proceeds to step S408, and the transfer request data transmitting unit 30b in FIG. 9 reads the distribution code data information (see FIG. 24B) as read data to the POS terminal. Communication output to 4.

  In the above description, the analysis unit is described as being mounted on the POS terminal 4, but the scanner device 3 may include the analysis unit.

  The distribution code presented at the time of reading the distribution code is not necessarily regular. For example, a customer may lose the information communication terminal 1 and use it by a third party who has picked up the information communication terminal 1. In the embodiment of the present invention, in order to confirm that the customer is a legitimate customer, an authentication process such as inputting a personal identification number is performed by an application program. Processing may be executed.

(Cryptographic example 1)
First, as a first security measure, the time from when a distribution code is generated in the information communication terminal 1 until reading by the scanner device 3 of the POS terminal 4 or the code scanner unit 20 of the ticket issuing device 7 For example, within 5 minutes. As a specific device example, as shown in FIG. 27, the distribution code generation means 10c of the information communication terminal 1 is further provided with a time acquisition means 10f and a time encryption means 10g. Further, the transfer code reading means 30a of the scanner device 3 is further provided with a time acquisition means 30e and a time decoding means 30f. A specific operation will be described with reference to a flowchart shown in FIG.

(A) First, in step S501, when the distribution code image is displayed on the display device 2 and the scanner device 3 reads the image, the time acquisition unit 10f of the information communication terminal 1 acquires the current time X. , It is digitized as, for example, “20030951815”. By the way, this data arranges the current time in the order of year, month, day and time. In step S502, the time encryption unit 10g includes the numerical data in the distribution code data to be transmitted, and further encrypts the data using, for example, a well-known public key method or secret key method key. The encrypted distribution code data is displayed on the display device 2 as a distribution code image (step S503).

(B) In step S504, the scanner device 3 reads the distribution code image on the display device 2 and obtains encrypted distribution code data. In step S505, the time decoding unit 30f decodes the distribution code data. In step S506, the time acquisition unit 30e acquires the current time Y. In step S507, the current time X of the information communication terminal 1 is compared with the current time Y of the scanner device 3. At this time, if the time X and the time Y are within 5 minutes, for example, the process proceeds to step S508, where data is analyzed as usual (step S508) and transmitted to the POS terminal 4 (step S509). If it is 5 minutes or longer, it is determined that there is a possibility of duplication or the like, and the process is stopped in step S510.

  Note that between the information communication terminal 1 and the ticket issuing device 7, as shown in FIG. 29, the distribution code generation means 10c of the information communication terminal 1 is further provided with a time acquisition means 10j and a time encryption means 10k, and a scanner. By providing the transfer code reading unit 30a of the apparatus 3 with the time acquisition unit 30i and the time decoding unit 30j, the same processing can be performed.

  By performing the encryption process based on the time as described above, it is possible to prevent unauthorized duplication and modification of the distribution code and to securely protect the user's personal information and payment information.

(Cryptographic example 2)
As a second security measure, a method for performing cryptographic processing using a one-time pin generated by a random number will be described. As a specific device example, as shown in FIG. 30, the distribution code generation means 10c of the information communication terminal 1 is further provided with a one-time pin acquisition means 10h and a one-time pin encryption means 10i. Further, the transfer code reading means 30a of the scanner device 3 is further provided with a one-time pin obtaining means 30g and a one-time pin decoding means 30h. A specific operation will be described with reference to a flowchart shown in FIG.

(A) First, in step S601, when the distribution code image is displayed on the display device 2 and the image is read by the scanner device 3, the one-time pin acquisition means 10h of the information communication terminal 1 is as shown in FIG. In addition, an appropriate number of digits generated by the random number generator on the display device 43 of the POS terminal 4, for example, a 4-digit number “1234” is obtained by keyboard input of the input device 11. In step S602, the one-time pin encryption unit 10i encrypts the numerical data included in the distribution code data to be transmitted. The encrypted distribution code data is displayed on the display device 2 as a distribution code image (step S603).

(B) In step S604, the scanner device 3 reads the distribution code image on the display device 2 and obtains encrypted distribution code data. In step S605, the one-time pin decrypting means 30h decrypts it. . In step S606, the one-time pin acquisition unit 30g acquires the one-time pin “1234” displayed on the display device 43 of the POS terminal 4. In step S607, the one-time pins of the information communication terminal 1 and the scanner device 3 are compared. If the one-time pin is the same numerical value at this time, the process proceeds to step S608, where the data is analyzed as usual (step S608) and transmitted to the POS terminal 4 (step S609). If the one-time pin is a different numerical value, the processing is stopped in step S610 because there is a possibility that the one-time pin is illegally created in another location.

  Also, between the information communication terminal 1 and the ticket issuing device 7, as shown in FIG. 32, the distribution code generation means 10c of the information communication terminal 1 is further provided with a one-time pin acquisition means 10l and a one-time pin encryption means 10m. By providing the transfer code reading means 30a of the scanner device 3 with the one-time pin acquisition means 30k and the one-time pin decoding means 301, the same processing can be performed.

  By performing the encryption process using the one-time pin as described above, it is possible to prevent unauthorized duplication and modification of the distribution code and to securely protect the user's personal information and payment information.

(Other embodiments)
The scanner device 3 may use a laser diode as shown in FIG. When the galvanometer mirror reflects and receives the leather light, the scanner device 3 may have difficulty receiving the afterimage due to the leather light and the liquid crystal backlight of the display device. It is necessary to consider the light refraction of the material such as glass or plastic used for the cover.

  Even if the information communication terminal 1 is not a mobile phone, the information communication terminal 1 may be a device that is equipped with a distribution code creation application and can display it. Furthermore, it is preferable to have a communication function. For example, it may be a PDA, notebook computer, PHS, or the like.
