1. A computer-implemented method of electronically authenticating a person at a venue or event entry subsystem, comprising:
- storing, by a server, an application in a memory;
receiving, by the server, a member identification of a user and mobile device identification of a mobile device of the user from the user;
modifying, by the server, the application using the received mobile device identification and member identification;
transferring, from the server, the modified application to the mobile device of the user;
receiving, by the server, a purchase request of a ticket comprising the member identification and mobile device identification from the mobile device of the user;
associating, by the server, the purchase request with the member identification in a database;
receiving, by the server, a quick response (QR) code comprising a representation of the member identification, the mobile device identification, and a time of generation of the QR code from a scanner device;
decoding, by the server, a QR code using the mobile identification; and
comparing, by the server, a decoded member identification, mobile device identification, and decoded time of generation from the decoded QR code with the ticket associated with the member identification and mobile device identification in the database; and
based on the comparison, sending, by the server, an authenticating message to the scanner device.

Abstract
Applicant'"'"'s Smartphone application provides ticket-holding patrons an alternative, digital means of verifying personal identification at entry to a venue or event. The Smartphone application periodically generates a unique QR code (barcode) that contains a unique identifier (i.e., mobile device ID) which prompts the venue/event entry system to recognize the patron. No barcode (serving as a ticket, or authentication/verification, or otherwise) is downloaded from the system server to the Smartphone/mobile device client in contrast to prior art systems.

10. An electronic authentication apparatus electronically authenticating a person at a venue or event entry, comprising:
-
a server having a memory storing executable instructions that when executed by the server causes the server to perform the operations of; storing an application in the memory; receiving a member identification of a user and mobile device identification of a mobile device of the user from the user; modifying the application using the received mobile device identification and member identification; transferring the modified application to the mobile device of the user; receiving a purchase request of a ticket comprising the member identification and mobile device identification from the mobile device of the user; associating the purchase request with the member identification in a database; receiving a quick response (QR) code comprising a representation of the member identification, the mobile device identification, and a time of generation of the QR code from a scanner device; decoding a QR code using the mobile identification; and comparing a decoded member identification, mobile device identification, and decoded time of generation from the decoded QR code with the ticket associated with the member identification and mobile device identification in the database; and based on the comparison, sending an authenticating message to the scanner device. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A computer-based electronic authentication system electronically authenticating a person at a venue or event entry, comprising:
at a server having a database; a storage means for storing an application in memory; an identification reception means for receiving a member identification of a user and mobile device identification of a mobile device of the user from the user; an application configuration means for modifying the application using the received mobile device identification and member identification; a transfer means for transferring the modified application to the mobile device of the user; a request reception means for receiving a purchase request of a ticket comprising the member identification and mobile device identification from the mobile device of the user; an association means for associating the purchase request with the member identification in a database; a code reception means for receiving a quick response (QR) code comprising a representation of the member identification, the mobile device identification, and a time of generation of the QR code from a scanner device; a decoding means for decoding a QR code using the mobile identification; and a comparison means for comparing a decoded member identification, mobile device identification, and decoded time of generation from the decoded QR code with the ticket associated with the member identification and mobile device identification in the database; and based on the comparison, sending an authenticating message to the scanner device.
