A ticketing system may include a computer-server and a user-interface in communication with the computer-server. The system may also include a selection-module in communication with the computer-server that enables a user via the user-interface to select an event and a user-selected-association related to the event. The system may further include a generation-unit in communication with the computer-server to produce a souvenir of the event and the user-selected-association authorized by an event promoter.

A lottery ticket dispensing method provides different types of lottery tickets in a jurisdiction and includes providing first lottery tickets for sale from a dispenser for a first type of lottery game. Upon a player making a selection of one of the first lottery tickets for purchase, a controller in communication with the dispenser determines whether one or more other lottery games are available for play within the jurisdiction. The method assigns one or more companion games from the available other lottery games based on the player's selection of the first lottery ticket and predefined filter values. The companion games are presented to the player as a suggestion or recommendation for an additional lottery ticket purchase. Upon the player selecting one of the companion games for purchase, the additional lottery ticket is provided to the player from the dispenser.

The method includes: An electronic device registers with a server; broadcasts service information to one or more mobile terminals based on a preset broadcast distance; receives a service subscription request sent by the one or more mobile terminals; sends a first message to the server, where the first message includes the service subscription request, and the first message indicates the server to confirm the service subscription request; and receives a service request sent by the one or more mobile terminals, and sends a second message to the server based on the service request, where the second message indicates the server to perform service processing.

The invention provides a distinguishing device for distinguishing, between vehicles passing in front of the device, a heavy goods vehicle (HGV) from a coach including over its entire length windows between a top side member and a bottom side member, the device comprising: a vertical stack of emitters of incident beams towards at least top halves of flanks of at least some of the vehicles; a vertical stack of receivers for detecting the beams that are reflected by the flanks of said vehicles; calculation means for calculating the time that elapses between each emission of a beam and the detection of the corresponding reflected beam in order to establish an image of each vehicle flank; and image processor means for detecting therein the absence or the presence of a top side member.

Various examples of the present disclosure provide a mobile sensing and smart payment system. The mobile sensing and smart payment system includes a terminal-identity-information-collection module, and a background data processing center. The background data processing center is configured to successively and respectively trigger, in a suitable time slot, a user information extraction process to extract mobile terminal identity information corresponding to each passenger; based upon extracted mobile terminal information to determine start and destination stations for each passenger; and calculate a charge for each passenger based upon the start and destination stations, and a fee schedule. The present disclosure can effectively determine a charge for each passenger without a need for a corresponding passenger to swipe a card or insert a coin through a traditional gate machine, and thus is advantageous over conventional systems.

A ticketing system includes a stick-on ticket, one or more stick-on ticket printers, and a stick-on ticket control system. The stick-on ticket includes a stick-on ticket carrier having a barcode disposed thereon and includes a sticker that has an identification tag and is configured to be removable from the stick-on ticket carrier and adhered to another surface. Each stick-on ticket printer is configured to read barcode information from the barcode to associate the barcode information with a user account and configured to read identification tag information from the identification tag, write identification tag information to the identification tag, or a combination thereof, to associate the identification tag with the user account such that the barcode and the identification tag are associated with the same user account. The stick-on ticket control system is configured to authenticate access to an amusement park based at least in part on the barcode information or the identification information read by the stick-on ticket reader.

A ticketing machine on a wall includes an image projection device, a touch sensor, a wireless interface that is configured to communicate with a user's mobile device, and a processor. The processor is configured to project, using the projector, a graphical user interface of the ticketing machine on a surface and detect, using the touch sensor, a touch interaction of a user of the ticketing machine on the graphical user interface that is projected on the surface. The processor is further configured to determine a selection of an option of the user based on the detected touch interaction and provide, using the wireless interface, an entry product to a mobile device of the user based on the selected option.
