Abstract

Claims (63)

1 . A seat library pairing method using short-distance wireless communication, the method performing, by an application executed by at least one processor of a kiosk, a seat library pairing service using the short-distance wireless communication, and including:

detecting ticket reservation information;

extracting seat information including a position of a seat at a performance hall from the detected ticket reservation information;

determining a seat library matching the extracted seat information;

controlling to pair a cheering light stick to store the determined seat library; and

controlling to transmit the seat library to the paired cheering light stick,

wherein the detecting of the ticket reservation information includes,

acquiring user account information from an account authentication device; and

detecting the ticket reservation information matching the acquired user account information,

wherein the acquiring of the user account information from the account authentication device further includes,

recognizing the account authentication device tagged to an NFC account tag module that includes a first short-distance communication processor for sensing a tagged device; and

reading the user account information through NFC communication from the recognized account authentication device,

wherein the detecting of the ticket reservation information matching the acquired user account information includes,

communicating with a performance management server;

detecting ticket reservation information matched to the acquired user account information among at least one or more pieces of ticket reservation information stored in a database of the performance management server; and

receiving the detected ticket reservation information from the performance management server,

wherein the determining a seat library matching the extracted seat information includes,

outputting, to a display of the kiosk, (i) seat information of the determined seat library to inform a user of the selected seat, and (ii) a guide related to pairing of a cheering light stick, and when the kiosk is unavailable or congested, performing self-pairing using a cheering light stick management application stored on a memory of a terminal of the user,

wherein the self-pairing includes pairing at the performance hall or at a home which reduces the constraint of space and time in the pairing process.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the detecting of the ticket reservation information includes:

acquiring a ticket image by capturing a ticket based on an image sensor;

performing optical character recognition (OCR) on the acquired ticket image; and

extracting a predetermined text included in the ticket image.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the user account information comprises at least one information from a plurality of information including a user's name, a date of birth, a mobile phone number, an e-mail address, and a platform ID; and

wherein the ticket reservation information comprises at least one information from a plurality of information including a name of a person who purchased a ticket, a date of birth of the person, a ticket website ID of the person, a mobile phone number of the person, a performance name, a performance date and time, a performance place, a reservation number, a number of tickets reserved, and seat information.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the extracting the seat information included in the detected ticket reservation information further comprises:

when a plurality of ticket reservation information are detected, determining one ticket reservation information by the user; and

extracting seat information from the user-selected ticket reservation information.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the determining the seat library corresponding to the extracted seat information comprises:

storing a plurality of seat libraries corresponding to performance preparation data for each seat information;

comparing the extracted seat information with the seat information of the plurality of seat libraries; and

determining a first seat library corresponding to the extracted seat information among the plurality of seat libraries.

6 . The method of claim 5 , wherein the performance preparation data comprises at least one of light emitting pattern, library data, and a scenario.

7 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the library data comprises an identification code for identifying each library and a light emitting pattern set value that is a preset value for constituents of the light emitting pattern; and

wherein the scenario comprises an identification code for identifying each scenario and a library set value that is a preset value for an operation time of the library data.

8 . The method of claim 5 , wherein, in the plurality of seat libraries, the identification code for identifying the library and the identification code for identifying the scenario are the same, and the light emitting pattern set value and the library set value are defined differently for each seat information.

9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the pairing of the cheering light stick to store the seat library includes performing short-distance communication between the kiosk and the cheering light stick adjacent to a cheering light stick pairing module through a short-range wireless communication, and

wherein the cheering light stick pairing module includes a second short-distance communication processor for sensing a tagged device.

10 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the selecting the ticket reservation information corresponding to the acquired user account information further comprises:

detecting the ticket reservation information corresponding to the acquired user account information among the at least one or more ticket reservation information stored on the memory of the kiosk; and

reading the detected ticket reservation information from the memory of the kiosk,

wherein the kiosk operates both in online for a communication with the performance management server and in offline for reading information stored on the memory of the kiosk.

11 . A seat library pairing system using short-distance wireless communication comprising:

a kiosk comprising at least one display for displaying a content of a library pairing service, at least one memory, at least one processor, and at least one application stored on the memory of the kiosk and executed by the processor to provide the library pairing service,

wherein the application of the kiosk is configured to:

detect ticket reservation information;

extract seat information including a position of a seat at a performance hall from the detected ticket reservation information;

determine a seat library corresponding to the extracted seat information;

pair the kiosk with a cheering light stick to store the determined seat library; and

transmit the seat library to the paired cheering light stick,

wherein the detecting of the ticket reservation information includes,

acquiring user account information from an account authentication device; and

detecting the ticket reservation information matching the acquired user account information,

wherein the acquiring of the user account information from the account authentication device further includes,

recognizing the account authentication device tagged to an NFC account tag module that includes a first short-distance communication processor for sensing a tagged device; and

reading the user account information through NFC communication from the recognized account authentication device,

wherein the detecting of the ticket reservation information matching the acquired user account information includes,

communicating with a performance management server;

detecting ticket reservation information matched to the acquired user account information among at least one or more pieces of ticket reservation information stored in a database of the performance management server; and

receiving the detected ticket reservation information from the performance management server,

wherein the determining a seat library matching the extracted seat information includes,

outputting, to a display of the kiosk, (i) seat information of the determined seat library to inform a user of the selected seat, and (ii) a guide related to pairing of a cheering light stick, and when the kiosk is unavailable or congested, performing self-pairing using a cheering light stick management application stored in a memory of a terminal of the user,

wherein the self-pairing includes pairing at the performance hall or at a home which reduces the constraint of space and time in the pairing process.
