Abstract

The invention discloses system and method for electronic ticket peer-to-peer (P2P) secure transfer on mobile devices by NFC Technology, which supports mobile devices with NFC such as cell phone, and tablet. Electronic Ticket P2P Secure transfers on mobile devices by NFC. The system and method comprises two mobile devices with NFC technology, each of which comprises a secure element, an electronic ticket platform sub-system and a check-tickets reader sub-system.

Claims

1. A mobile device for electronic ticket secure transferring by NFC technology comprising:

an application processor, configured to execute a operation system software, the operation system software comprising an electronic ticket application software module;

an NFC SE, comprising an electronic ticket, the NFC SE being connected with the application processor, the electronic ticket comprising a hardware serial number;

an NFC module, connected with the NFC SE and the application processor, the NFC module being configured to communicate with an external receiving end mobile device;

wherein, when the application processor executes the electronic ticket application software module, the application processor replaces the original hardware serial number to the serial number of the receiving end mobile device, and transmits the replaced electronic ticket to the receiving end mobile by the NFC module.

2. The device as claimed in claim 1, further automatically deleting the electronic ticket stored in the SE after finishing the transmission.

3. The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the hardware serial number is NFC SE hardware serial number.

4. The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the application processor further decrypts the original electronic ticket by a private key of the mobile device so as to replace the original hardware serial number to the hardware serial number of the receiving end mobile device, and encrypts the replaced electronic ticket by a public key of the receiving end mobile device.

5. The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the application processor calls application protocol data instruction of an electronic ticket applet of the NFC SE to execute an electronic ticket transferring operation.

6. A system for electronic ticket peer to peer secure transferring by NFC technology, the system comprising:

a mobile device as claimed in claim 1, being configured to connect with a cloud ticket selling platform by the network connecting device to purchase and download an electronic ticket to an NFC SE of the mobile device, and the mobile device further transmits the electronic ticket to a receiving end mobile device by an NFC transmitting interface;

a server device, being configured to electronically connect with the cloud ticket selling platform so as to provide the mobile device to purchase the electronic ticket;

a ticket verifying system, comprising a ticket verifying reader which electronically connected with the server device, wherein when the receiving end mobile device proceeding a verification procedure, the ticket verifying sub-system acquires the electronic ticket from the receiving end mobile device by the ticket verifying reader and determines whether providing verification information, wherein the ticket verifying sub-system further accesses the electronic ticket of the receiving end mobile device, decrypts and verifies content of the electronic ticket, then determines to mark or delete the electronic ticket stored in the NFC SE of the receiving end mobile device, connects and enables a gate to allow user passing through.

7. A method for electronic ticket P2P secure transferring by NFC technology, the method applied in a mobile device and comprising following steps:

transmitting a ticket transferring request to an external receiving mobile device so as to proceed a verify procedure with the receiving mobile device;

replacing the original hardware serial number of the electronic ticket of the transmitting end mobile device to the hardware serial number of the receiving end mobile device;

transmitting the replaced electronic ticket to the receiving end device.

8. The method as claimed in claim 7, further automatically deleting the electronic ticket stored in the mobile device after finishing the transmission.

9. The method as claimed in claim 7, wherein the hardware serial number is NFC SE hardware serial number.

10. The method as claimed in claim 7, further decrypts electronic ticket by a private key of the mobile device so as to replace the original hardware serial number to the hardware serial number of the receiving end mobile device, and encrypts the replaced electronic ticket by a public key of the receiving end mobile device.
