Description

METHOD FOR INVALIDATING WEB BASED TICKETS, COUPONS AND VOUCHERS FOR MOBILE PHONES
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The invention regards a feature in relation to web based tickets, coupons and vouchers for mobile phones that makes it possible to invalidate web based tickets, coupons and vouchers with a graphic invalidation stamp or another piece of graphic. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Advancements in telecommunication networks and devices have made it possible to distribute web based tickets, coupons and vouchers that are optimized or specialized to be displayed on mobile phones. Digital distribution of web based tickets, coupons and vouchers is gaining popularity due to the fact that this type of distribution, in most cases, is superior to alternative forms of distribution in terms speed, costs and precision. Furthermore digital distribution saves the environment from unnecessary use of paper and the environmental harm that is associated with paper production. Also, end-users can enjoy receiving web based tickets, coupons and vouchers in a fast and convenient way.
However, a problem arises for desk clerks and ticket checkers when end- users presents web based tickets, coupons and vouchers and claim the product or service web based tickets, coupons or vouchers entitle them to. The problems for desk clerks and ticket checkers are related to the challenges of validating web based tickets, coupons and vouchers and the process of which a paper based tickets, coupons and vouchers are normally invalidated. Normally, paper based tickets, coupons and vouchers can be invalidated by the desk clerks and ticket checkers by destroying the tickets, coupons or vouchers or by taking them away from the end-users. However, when the tickets, coupons or vouchers are displayed in a digital format directly on the screen of the mobile phone the normal ways of invalidating paper based tickets, coupons and vouchers are neither applicable or suitable.
Example 1: An end-user sees a billboard that claims he will receive a discount coupon for a specific product at a specific store on his mobile phone if he sends a specific text to a specific short code. E.g.: send the text "coupon" to 1220 in order to receive a discount coupon on your mobile phone.
The end-user performs the action and receives the coupon on his mobile phone via an SMS with a link to his coupon. The end-user goes to the store and shows the web based coupon on his mobile phone to the desk clerk. The desk clerks checks the web based coupon but he needs a suitable method for invalidating the web based coupon in order to prevent repeated use of the same coupon. Moreover, the invalidation process needs to be fast, flexible, low cost and secure in order to maintain an efficient process of invalidating web based tickets. Example 2: An end-user pays for a web based train ticket by mobile phone through a mobile application. He receives the web based ticket on his mobile phone via an SMS with a link to his ticket. He enters the train and shows the web based ticket to the ticket checker. The ticket checker checks the web based ticket but he needs a suitable method for invalidating the ticket in order to prevent repeated use of the said web based ticket. Moreover, the invalidation process needs to be fast, flexible, low cost and secure in order to maintain an efficient process of invalidating web based tickets.
Example 3: An end-user pays for a web based concert ticket via mobile phone through at a web shop. Later, the end-user arrives at the concert area and shows the web based ticket to a ticket checker. The ticket checker checks the web based ticket but he needs a suitable method for invalidating the web based ticket in order to prevent repeated use of the same ticket. Moreover, the invalidation process needs to be fast, flexible, low cost and secure in order to maintain a efficient process of invalidating web based tickets.
All examples above illustrate a problem in which end-users, desk clerks and ticket checkers need a fast, flexible, low cost and secure method of invalidating web based tickets, coupons and vouchers displayed on a mobile phone. In other words, an optimal solution is needed in this field.
The current methods for solving the problem:
Method 1
The web based ticket, coupon or voucher contains a barcode and desk clerk or ticket checker is equipped with a barcode scanner and scans the barcode. The scanner can contain software that will tell how many times the barcode has been scanned. Method 2
The web based ticket, coupon or voucher contains a unique number. The desk clerk or ticket checker is equipped with a paper containing the unique numbers of the issued tickets, coupons or vouchers. Each unique number on the web based ticket, coupon or voucher presented to him will be marked on the paper thereby revealing if the same number is presented twice.
Method 3
The web based ticket, coupon or voucher contains a unique number. The desk clerk or ticket checker is equipped with a PDA with a local database of the issued numbers. Each unique number on the web based tickets, coupons or vouchers presented to him will be typed into a client on the PDA. This allows him to see if the same number has been shown if the web based ticket, coupon or voucher has been used before.
Method 4
The web based ticket, coupon or voucher contains a unique number. The desk clerk or ticket checker is equipped with an internet device, such as a computer with access to a server containing a database of the issued numbers. Each unique number on the web based ticket, coupon or voucher presented to him will be typed into a client on the internet device allowing him to see if the web based ticket, coupon or voucher has been used before.
Even though the methods (1-4) are widely used and solve some of the challenges in relation to the problem, all of the methods still suffer from one or more important inadequacies regarding speed, flexibility, low cost and security.
The need for speed is central due to the fact that desk clerks and ticket checkers often operate under high pressure with many end-users wanting their attention.
The need for flexibility is central due to the fact that desk clerks and ticket checkers often move around and must be able to immediately assist customers' located away from them. The need for low costs is central due to the fact that high costs in relation to acquiring hardware such as scanners and PDAs will make the use of web based tickets, coupons and vouchers for mobile phones less attractive, thereby loosing the many benefits mentioned earlier. The need for security is central in order to ensure that only end-users who are rightfully entitled to redeem the tickets, coupons or vouchers do so. Furthermore, end-users need to trust that the web based tickets, coupons and vouchers that they posses serve as indisputable proof that they are rightfully entitled to redeem the web based tickets, coupons or vouchers. The current methods described earlier suffer from one or more important inadequacies regarding speed, flexibility, low cost and security as described below.
Inadequacies of method 1
Using this method, the web based tickets, coupons or vouchers must contain a barcode. Placing barcodes on a web based tickets, coupons or vouchers to be displayed on a mobile phone are challenging due to a vast number of different platforms, screen sizes and resolutions etc. This will often result in many failed attempts to scan the barcode making. Furthermore, the desk clerk or ticket checker needs to be equipped with a barcode scanner. These problems indicate that the method is inflexible and increase costs.
Inadequacies of method 2
Using this method the desk clerk or ticket checker needs to have the paper of unique numbers near at all times. If there are many numbers it becomes difficult to find a certain number on the paper and will easily be subjected to human error. This indicates that the method decreases flexibility, speed and security. Inadequacies of method 3
Using this method the desk clerk or ticket checker needs to PDA with a local database of the unique numbers near all times. Because the database is stored locally on the PDA it has to been synchronized on a regular basis in order to contain correct and updated unique control numbers. This indicates that the method decreases flexibility, speed and security. Inadequacies of method 4
Using this method the desk clerk or ticket checker needs to be equipped with an internet device, such as a computer with access to a server containing a database of the issued numbers. The computer has access to a server containing a database of the issued numbers. The need for such an internet device easily decreases flexibility and increases costs.
Until this day, there has been no fast, flexible, low cost and secure way for desk clerks or ticket checkers to invalidate a web based tickets, coupons or vouchers on a mobile phone.
OBJECTIVE AND SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It is an objective of the present invention to solve the above mentioned problems.
This is obtained by a method for invalidating web based tickets, coupons and vouchers for mobile phones in which said web based tickets, coupons or vouchers are invalidated in a graphic manner showing an invalidation stamp or other graphic representation that allows the desk clerks or ticket checkers to verify if the web based tickets, coupons or vouchers have been invalidated.
The invention further relates to the method of invalidating the said web based tickets, coupons or vouchers by utilizing the keys on the mobile phone to execute the method described above.
