Abstract
The method and system provide convenient and efficient authentication of mobile tickets (46). A ticket purchaser provides a photo image (40) of himself or herself that is stored with the purchaser's phone number and a ticket identifier in a database (32). A mobile ticket (46) is generated comprising the ticket identifier as a barcode and the photo. The ticket is transmitted to the purchaser's mobile phone (38). The ticket is authenticated by reading the ticket identifier from the phone (38) into a terminal (54), for example by barcode scanning (52) of the phone's screen (50). The identifier is used to look up (56) the stored image (58) which is displayed on the screen of the terminal (60). The operator of the terminal can then compare the photo on the terminal (60) with the actual purchaser and the photo on the display of the phone (50) in order to authenticate the ticket (46) as belonging to the purchaser.
Description
1 Mobile ticket authentication 3 The present invention relates to the authentication of 4 tickets and in particular to a system and method of and authenticating mobile tickets using images.
7 Ticket scalping or touting and forgery is a significant 8 problem for promoters of events and ticket agents.
9 Tickets for major events often sell out almost immediately, but are still available at greatly inflated 11 prices, for example, on websites. This is also a problem 12 for consumers who wish to pay a fair price for tickets.
14 In order to prevent the transfer of paper tickets and their sale on the secondary market, a number of 16 techniques have been applied to ensure that the ticket is 17 used by the original purchaser. These include providing a 18 utility bill, photo ID, such as a passport, or the credit 19 or debit card that was made to make the original purchase. All of these techniques have had limited 21 success and make the manual inspection of the ticket even 22 more difficult. Ticket touts even blatantly offer forged 23 ID along with the ticket.

The payment is made in the 31 normal way using a credit or debit card. For a membership 32 pass the customer can complete the membership form and 33 make the annual membership payment. The ticket or pass 1 will not however be issued immediately but at 2 registration the customer provides their mobile phone 3 number (or email address) in order to identify 4 themselves.
6 The ticket details including the ticket number, event, 7 date, start time, seat number etc. are generated 4. The 8 ticket details and the mobile phone number (or email 9 address) are stored 6 at an authentication centre 30 in a database 32 so as to be related to each other.
12 The database 32 stores the following ticket details 13 although additional ticket information could also be 14 held: event, date, start time, ticket number (barcode), seat number (optional), mobile phone number, email 16 address (optional), name, photograph.
18 In another embodiment the customer's photograph is 19 submitted along with the phone number (or email address) at the point of registration 2, however in this 21 embodiment in order to activate and receive the ticket or 22 pass, the customer supplies the photograph in a separate 23 step. This is done using their camera 36 on their mobile 24 phone 38 by taking a photograph of the customer and sending this as an MMS (multi-media messaging service) 26 message 40 to the ticket agent's number or shortcode.
27 This message is subsequently received 8 at the 28 authentication centre's image receiving module 42 and the 29 customer's mobile number (or email address) is captured automatically.
32 The mobile phone number of the message is matched against 33 stored phone numbers in the database in order to look up 1 10 the ticket number previously associated with the 2 mobile phone number. This ensures that only the original 3 intended recipient can receive the ticket. The photograph 4 is extracted 12 and stored 14 in the ticket database associated with the ticket number and mobile phone 6 number.
8 Alternatively the photograph can be sent via email in 9 order to activate and receive the ticket or pass and the sender's email address is matched against the email 11 address provided at the registration step. Another 12 alternative is to upload the photograph from the ticket 13 sales web site where it has previously been stored.
The mobile ticket 46 is generated 16, by a message 16 generating module 44, as a message 46 by merging the 17 photograph with a unique barcoded ticket number. The 18 ticket identifier is typically rendered as a barcode 19 image. The message is optimised 18 by an optimising module 47 (according to the teaching of W02004/027662 by 21 the present inventor) for the display of the mobile phone 22 and the messaging protocol that is being employed.
24 The mobile ticket is then sent 20 from the sending module 48 of the authentication centre, to the mobile phone. The 26 mobile ticket contains the photograph, the barcode and 27 the ticket text. The barcode may be overlaid on the 28 photograph of the customer. Additional media including 29 further images, video etc. may also be included in the message.
32 As an alternative to MMS, other mobile photo multi-media 33 messaging technologies including WAP can be used to 1 deliver the ticket. Instead of a mobile phone other 2 mobile devices, e.g. a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant) 3 may be used.
5 In the case that the ticket is provided to the mobile 6 phone by email, it is not necessary that the mobile phone 7 is MMS enabled.
9 As a compromise, a barcoded mobile ticket can be 10 delivered to the mobile phone over SMS without the 11 photograph.

17 This embodiment of the present invention provides a 18 secure mobile ticket or pass containing a pre-registered 19 photograph of the ticket holder together with a unique barcoded ticket to a mobile phone. The authentication of 21 the ticket involves scanning the barcode displayed on the 22 screen of the mobile phone, then retrieving and 23 displaying the pre-registered photograph on a terminal 24 for inspection and comparison with the ticket holder and the mobile ticket displayed on the screen of the mobile 26 phone.
28 With reference to Figures 1 and 2 the registration 2 for 29 a ticket may be through purchase of a ticket through a box office or a web site. The payment is made in the 31 normal way using a credit or debit card. For a membership 32 pass the customer can complete the membership form and 33 make the annual membership payment. The ticket or pass 1 will not however be issued immediately but at 2 registration the customer provides their mobile phone 3 number (or email address) in order to identify 4 themselves.
6 The ticket details including the ticket number, event, 7 date, start time, seat number etc. are generated 4. The 8 ticket details and the mobile phone number (or email 9 address) are stored 6 at an authentication centre 30 in a database 32 so as to be related to each other.
12 The database 32 stores the following ticket details 13 although additional ticket information could also be 14 held: event, date, start time, ticket number (barcode), seat number (optional), mobile phone number, email 16 address (optional), name, photograph.
18 In another embodiment the customer's photograph is 19 submitted along with the phone number (or email address) at the point of registration 2, however in this 21 embodiment in order to activate and receive the ticket or 22 pass, the customer supplies the photograph in a separate 23 step. This is done using their camera 36 on their mobile 24 phone 38 by taking a photograph of the customer and sending this as an MMS (multi-media messaging service) 26 message 40 to the ticket agent's number or shortcode.
27 This message is subsequently received 8 at the 28 authentication centre's image receiving module 42 and the 29 customer's mobile number (or email address) is captured automatically.
32 The mobile phone number of the message is matched against 33 stored phone numbers in the database in order to look up 1 10 the ticket number previously associated with the 2 mobile phone number. This ensures that only the original 3 intended recipient can receive the ticket. The photograph 4 is extracted 12 and stored 14 in the ticket database associated with the ticket number and mobile phone 6 number.
8 Alternatively the photograph can be sent via email in 9 order to activate and receive the ticket or pass and the sender's email address is matched against the email 11 address provided at the registration step. Another 12 alternative is to upload the photograph from the ticket 13 sales web site where it has previously been stored.
The mobile ticket 46 is generated 16, by a message 16 generating module 44, as a message 46 by merging the 17 photograph with a unique barcoded ticket number. The 18 ticket identifier is typically rendered as a barcode 19 image. The message is optimised 18 by an optimising module 47 (according to the teaching of W02004/027662 by 21 the present inventor) for the display of the mobile phone 22 and the messaging protocol that is being employed.
24 The mobile ticket is then sent 20 from the sending module 48 of the authentication centre, to the mobile phone. The 26 mobile ticket contains the photograph, the barcode and 27 the ticket text. The barcode may be overlaid on the 28 photograph of the customer. Additional media including 29 further images, video etc. may also be included in the message.
32 As an alternative to MMS, other mobile photo multi-media 33 messaging technologies including WAP can be used to 1 deliver the ticket. Instead of a mobile phone other 2 mobile devices, e.g. a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant) 3 may be used.
5 In the case that the ticket is provided to the mobile 6 phone by email, it is not necessary that the mobile phone 7 is MMS enabled.
9 As a compromise, a barcoded mobile ticket can be 10 delivered to the mobile phone over SMS without the 11 photograph.
13 The ticket is used by the customer by displaying 22 the 14 mobile ticket on the display 50 of the mobile phone. The member of staff at the door or access point at the venue 16 of the event scans 24 the barcode on the mobile display 17 using a hand-held scanner 52 into a terminal 54. Thus in 18 this embodiment, the ticket identifier is output from the 19 mobile phone as a barcode on the phone's display. In other embodiments the ticket identifier may be output 21 from the phone in other ways, such as using radio 22 signals, e.g. Bluetooth or WiFi. Such output may be 23 received by the terminal, for example using a radio 24 receiver. The terminal may be a PC (Personal Computer) or a PDA. The image is retrieved 26 from the database by 26 the terminal transmitting a query 56 to the 27 authentication,centre thereby matching the unique ticket 28 number from the scanned barcode against the stored ticket 29 numbers in the database. The related previously supplied photograph is retrieved from the database, transmitted 58 31 to the terminal and displayed 28 on the display 60 of the 32 terminal. The operator of the terminal then checks the 33 photograph on the terminal display against that on the 1 mobile phone display (if present on the mobile phone) and 2 the face of the person presenting the ticket. Thus the 3 operator can conveniently view the authenticated 4 photograph of the ticket holder on their terminal and compare that to the ticket holder. Furthermore if the 6 mobile ticket displayed on the display of the mobile 7 phone contains the photograph then the operator can also 8 conveniently compare that photograph with the one on 9 their terminal and the ticket holder.
