Electronic ticket issuing system and electronic ticket issuing method
First Claim
1. An electronic ticket issuing system, comprising:
- a mobile terminal including a storage for storing an electronic ticket;
a ticket issuing center;
an authentication department; and
an authentication terminal, wherein;
the mobile terminal, the ticket issuing center, the authentication department, and the authentication terminal are connected to each other via a network, and the authentication terminal is connected to the mobile terminal to perform authentication between a ticket buyer and an electronic ticket;
first biological information which indicates unique physical characteristics of the ticket buyer is registered in advance in the authentication department;
the mobile terminal transmits a request for ticket purchase to the ticket issuing center;
the ticket issuing center transmits a request for issue of an electronic certificate to the authentication department to request the authentication department to issue an electronic certificate which corresponds to the request for ticket purchase transmitted from the mobile terminal and which validates the ticket buyer;
the authentication department creates an electronic certificate including the pre-registered first biological information on the basis of the request for issue of an electronic certificate transmitted from the ticket issuing center, and transmits the electronic certificate to the ticket issuing center;
the ticket issuing center creates an electronic ticket to which the electronic certificate transmitted from the authentication department is added, and transmits the electronic ticket to the mobile terminal; and
the mobile terminal stores the electronic ticket transmitted from the ticket issuing center in the storage.

Abstract
An electronic ticket issuing system and an electronic ticket issuing method for simplifying authentication procedures by the use of biological information such as a fingerprint and voiceprint. First, a ticket buyer sends a request for ticket purchase to a ticket issuing center using his/her mobile terminal. The ticket issuing center transmits a request for issue of an electronic certificate to request an authentication department to issue an electronic certificate. The authentication department creates an electronic certificate to which the biological information about the ticket buyer is added. The ticket issuing center transmits an electronic ticket including the electronic certificate to the mobile phone. When the ticket buyer participates in an event with the electronic ticket, the ticket buyer transmits the electronic ticket with the biological information to an authentication terminal. In addition, the ticket buyer inputs his/her biological information at the moment into the authentication terminal. Subsequently, the authentication terminal compares the two pieces of biological information for authentication. Since the electronic ticket includes the biological information, the authentication terminal can perform high-security authentication without exchanging the biological information with the authentication department via a network.
