A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing a computer executable program which, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to; receive a location information from a terminal device; identify, from among data stored in the computer, the region information based on the location information, the region information being posted by a region affiliated person, the region affiliated person being a person affiliated with a region including the location, and the region affiliated person including; send the region information to the terminal device; send display selection information for selecting a guide type to the terminal device and, in response to a selection of the guide type from the terminal device, accept the selection of the guide type. The region information includes information relevant to accepting a reservation for a on-site human guided tour and contents relevant to a non-human guided tour.

A device receives receipt data of a receipt of a transaction for a product, and processes, using a term matching technique, the receipt data to identify transaction information including a transaction date and product information. The device determines that the transaction caused a user to be covered by or eligible for a warranty for the product, generates a tag identifying the product, and associates, using a data structure, the product information, data identifying the warranty, and the tag with a record of the transaction that is accessible via a program that allows the user to search for the receipt or terms of the warranty. The device performs actions associated with assisting the user in managing the warranty, such as by reminding the user of an expiration date of the warranty and/or by assisting the user in submitting a claim based on the warranty.

A method and system which enables users of a ticketing marketplace to exchange tickets in order obtain groups of adjacent seats for an event. The method may include obtaining data associated with a first transaction for acquiring a first ticket by a first user, obtaining a first indication of willingness of the first user to negotiate exchange of the first ticket, and determining a set of exchange terms. A second user may then request to obtain a second ticket corresponding to a seat adjacent to a seat corresponding to the first ticket obtained by the first user, and exchange, with the first user, a third ticket for the first ticket. Upon a determination that the third ticket satisfies the set of exchange terms, the first ticket obtained by the first user is automatically transferred to the second user and a third ticket is automatically transferred to the first user.

A gateway can provision a device serial number. The gateway can generate a private blockchain identifier and a public blockchain identifier for a device. The gateway can create a private mapping between the device serial number and the private blockchain identifier. The gateway can create a public mapping between the device serial number and the public blockchain identifier. The gateway can allocate a private digital currency amount to the private blockchain identifier and a public digital currency amount to the public blockchain identifier. The gateway can provision a private service transaction cost to the public blockchain identifier, a public service transaction cost to the public blockchain identifier, a private service transaction fee to the private blockchain identifier, a public service transaction fee to the public blockchain identifier, and a ruleset for the device. The gateway can register the public blockchain identifier and the private blockchain identifier with a network gateway.

A method for a contactless experience, comprising: via server, registering guest information, initiating the experience prior to arrival of a guest, wherein said initiating comprises communicating by the server with a smart device corresponding to the guest to pre-order items from a menu and specify initial coursing instructions, and adding the pre-order items to an electronic ticket; detecting arrival of the guest and communicating arrival to the server; preparing the items, transmitting notifications to a point-of-sale (POS) terminal of a server assigned to the guest to deliver prepared items; delivering the prepared items to the guest; receiving a notification that the guest is ready to close out the electronic order ticket, transmitting a request for payment, receiving payment authorization, processing a transaction for payment, closing the electronic order ticket, and transmitting a notification to the smart device and the POS terminal that the electronic order ticket has been closed.

Disclosed herein is a method and system to establish a secure communication channel between a payment object reader and a payment terminal For this, the server determines whether a payment terminal has associated with an attestation ticket. The method further includes determining, whether to approve or deny the request for establishing the secure communication channel between the payment object reader and the payment terminal based on the attestation ticket. If the determination yields that the request has been approved, further generating a session approval interrupt having one or more session approval conditions; and sending the session approval interrupt to the payment terminal, where the session approval interrupt causes a secure communication channel to be established between the payment object reader and the payment terminal.

A computer-based ticket system enables users to electronically transfer tickets to other users, and to obtain tickets from other users. A first software module executing in a server is configured to cancel a first ticket for a first seat at first event associated with a first user, and issue a second ticket for the first seat to a second user at least partly in response to an instruction from the first user received from a first user terminal and an instruction from the second user received from a second user terminal.

The present disclosure relates generally to systems and methods for using a distributed ledger (e.g., blockchain) to create an online ticketing platform for the buying and/or selling of authenticated live event tickets. More specifically, exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure relate to systems and methods for creating a blockchain-based online ticketing platform that may be decentralized, that may be public, and that may be transparent to a buyer and/or seller of live event tickets (e.g., sporting events, concerts, theatrical productions, and other live entertainment events). An exemplary embodiment may include a system for electronic commerce in a distributed computing system with blockchain protocols and smart contracts that may comprise: a decentralized, public, and permission-less online platform for the electronic commerce of secure digital assets, wherein the secure digital assets are managed by the blockchain protocols and smart contracts; and a truth source.
