A method for conducting environmental sampling includes determining to environmentally sample a particular paper transit ticket for a specific residue. Using an automated ticket device, at least one chemical reagent is applied to the particular paper transit ticket. The chemical reagent is selected based on the specific residue. The particular paper transit ticket is collected after the particular paper transit ticket was used as a fare media within a transit system. The at least one chemical reagent is analyzed to determine whether any of the specific residue is present.

The present invention provides a method for allocating ticket inventory on a buyer's side. The method includes steps of, loading, the webpage, providing a map, checking compatibility of map, initializing plug-in, and mapping seats. Further, the map is represented with respective tickets with location, quantity and amount on the webpage. Moreover, the ticket list with triggering onInit is generated on the webpage or an existing external tabular ticket list is controlled by the plugin thereby loading the map completely with corresponding ticket inventory matching respective portions on map simultaneously while loading the webpage on the buyer's device thereby enabling the buyer to select desired seating section.

Ticketing systems and methods, as well as related computer product programs, provide efficient and user-friendly seat selection by incorporating realistic seating charts. An advantageous ticketing system may include data related to a physical layout of a venue. The ticketing system may generate a three-dimensional model of the venue, from which one or more seating charts may in turn be generated. A user may search the ticketing system for seats based on customized user search parameters, which may include searching across multiple performances. In response to the user search, the ticketing system may provide an interactive three-dimensional seating chart depicting a relatively accurate seat layout based on the venue data. The user may manipulate the seating chart to view the venue from various perspectives, and the user may select seats from the seating chart. Other embodiments of the ticketing system are also disclosed herein.

A confidential information provision device includes: an information acquisition unit configured to acquire a confidential level of information that is to be printed on a recording medium; and a provision unit configured to provide confidential information to the recording medium in accordance with the confidential level, the confidential information provided to the recording medium being constituted of a material that is detectable in a non-contact manner.

A ticket issuing system has a processor and a storage with instructions thereon. The storage stores a feature value table that associates and stores feature value data including feature information pertaining to biometric information and a feature ID for identifying the feature value data. The instructions upon execution by the processor, cause the processor to: acquire user feature information pertaining to biometric information of a user of a ticket to be issued; identify, from among the feature value data stored in the feature value table, similar feature value data for which a similarity with the user feature information satisfies a predetermined criterion to obtain a feature ID corresponding to the similar feature value data; and issue a ticket on which authentication information that includes the feature ID corresponding to the similar feature value data is recorded.

A method and system for contact tracing and alerting anonymously tracks persons within and across digitally modeled areas using registration stations within the area having scannable digital codes which are unique to the area. Upon being alerted to a contagion situation, either from a laboratory or from an area administrator, the system compares electronic visit tickets unique to each person's visit to determine overlap and generates at least one of an exposure event notifications and a contamination event notifications responsive to one or more determinations made by the comparing.
