Abstract

A system includes a server apparatus and a first authentication terminal. The server apparatus stores ticket information including contents of a ticket purchased by a representative, the ticket permitting the representative and at least one or more accompanying persons to enter a first restricted admission area, and authentication information of the representative. When the representative and at least one or more accompanying persons enter the first restricted admission area, the first authentication terminal transmits a first authentication request that includes authentication information of the representative to the server apparatus. The server apparatus identifies the representative who attempts to enter the first restricted area by an authentication processing using the authentication information included in the authentication request and the stored authentication information. The server apparatus transmits the ticket information corresponding to the identified representative to the first authentication terminal. The first authentication terminal performs control in accordance with the ticket information.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A system, comprising:
a server apparatus that stores ticket information including contents of a ticket purchased by a representative, the ticket permitting the representative and at least one or more accompanying persons to enter a first restricted admission area, and authentication information of the representative; and a first authentication terminal that transmits a first authentication request including the authentication information of the representative to the server apparatus when the representative and the at least one or more accompanying persons enter the first restricted admission area, wherein the server apparatus identifies the representative who attempts to enter the first restricted admission area by an authentication processing using the authentication information included in the authentication request and the stored authentication information, and transmits the ticket information corresponding to the identified representative to the first authentication terminal, and wherein the first authentication terminal performs control in accordance with the ticket information.

2 . The system according to claim 1 , wherein the first authentication terminal displays a number of persons who can enter the first restricted admission area, as listed in the ticket information.

3 . The system according to claim 1 , wherein the first authentication terminal displays a number of persons for each attribute of the person who can enter the first restricted admission area, as listed in the ticket information.

4 . The system according to claim 1 , wherein the first authentication terminal permits a number of users listed in the ticket information who can enter the first restricted admission area to pass through a gate.

5 . The system according to claim 1 , wherein the server apparatus stores biometric information as the authentication information of the representative, and
wherein the first authentication terminal transmits to the server apparatus the first authentication request including the biometric information of the representative who attempts to enter the first restricted admission area.

6 . The system according to claim 5 , wherein the biometric information is a face image or a feature value generated from the face image.

7 . The system according to claim 1 , wherein the server apparatus stores an authentication code as the authentication information of the representative, and
wherein the first authentication terminal acquires the authentication code from a terminal possessed by the representative who attempts to enter the first restricted admission area, and transmits the first authentication request including the acquired authentication code to the server apparatus.

8 . The system according to claim 7 , wherein the authentication code is a terminal ID of the terminal.

9 . The system according to claim 1 , wherein the server apparatus stores the authentication information of the representative who can enter a second restricted admission area and the authentication information of the at least one or more accompanying persons who can enter the second restricted admission area, and
wherein the system further comprises a second authentication terminal that transmits a second authentication request including the authentication information of the representative to the server apparatus when the representative attempts to enter the second restricted admission area, and transmits a third authentication request including the authentication information of the at least one or more accompanying persons to the server apparatus when the at least one or more accompanying persons attempt to enter the second restricted admission area, and wherein the server apparatus performs the authentication processing in response to the second and third authentication requests, and transmits each of results of the authentication processing to the second authentication terminal, and wherein the second authentication terminal performs a processing in accordance with the results of the second and third authentication processing.

10 . The system according to claim 9 , wherein the server apparatus stores the authentication information of the representative who can enter the second restricted admission area and first health information regarding health in association with each other, and stores the authentication information of the at least one or more accompanying persons who can enter the second restricted admission area and second health information regarding health in association with each other, and
wherein the server apparatus identifies the representative who attempts to enter the second restricted admission area by the authentication processing using the authentication information included in the second authentication request, and transmits an authentication success to the second authentication terminal when the first health information of the identified representative is valid, and wherein the server apparatus identifies the at least one or more accompanying persons who attempt to enter the second restricted admission area by the authentication processing using the authentication information included in the third authentication request, and transmits an authentication success to the second authentication terminal when the second health information of the identified accompanying person is valid.

11 . The system according to claim 10 , wherein the first and second health information are a vaccination certificate or a negative certificate.

12 . A server apparatus, comprising:
at least one memory storing a set of instructions; and at least one processor configured to execute the set of instructions to: store ticket information including contents of a ticket purchased by a representative, the ticket permitting the representative and at least one or more accompanying persons to enter a first restricted admission area, and authentication information of the representative; receive, from a first authentication terminal, a first authentication request including the authentication information of the representative when the representative and the at least one or more accompanying persons enter the first restricted admission area; and identify the representative who attempts to enter the first restricted admission area by an authentication processing using the authentication information included in the authentication request and the stored authentication information, and transmits the ticket information corresponding to the identified representative to the first authentication terminal.

13 . A control method of a server apparatus, the control method comprising:
storing ticket information including contents of a ticket purchased by a representative, the ticket permitting the representative and at least one or more accompanying persons to enter a first restricted admission area, and authentication information of the representative; receiving, from a first authentication terminal, a first authentication request including the authentication information of the representative when the representative and the at least one or more accompanying persons enter the first restricted admission area; and identifying the representative who attempts to enter the first restricted admission area by an authentication processing using the authentication information included in the authentication request and the stored authentication information, and transmitting the ticket information corresponding to the identified representative to the first authentication terminal.
