DESC:FIELD OF INVENTION
EARLIEST PRIORITY DATE:
This application claims the benefit of Provisional Patent Application bearing application no. 201741044943, filed on December 14, 2017 in India.
[0001] Embodiments of the present disclosure relates to using of electronic ticket and more particularly to a system to generate real time electronic ticket and a method to operate the same.
BACKGROUND
[0002] Travelling from one place to the other involves booking tickets. These include bus tickets, train tickets and flight tickets. Flight tickets may involve a different procedure as compared to bus and train tickets. Bus and train travel are more accessible and feasible for most people. Train tickets and bus tickets can be booked at either at specific booking counters or can be booked online. While booking online, the user is required to fill details which may include personal details and financial details, etc. Once the ticket is booked a confirmation message or a confirmation number is generated, this is used as a proof of confirmation when the user is travelling.
[0003] In one approach, an electronic ticket system is used with a specific code or unique identification during the confirmation process. Here, the specific code can be used for generation of proper identification for authentication. More efficient way would be incorporating a dynamic editable code for each user. Analysis of the dynamic editable code along with specific code will surely help in fraud or irregular use of electronic tickets. This secure way would surely enable to save time.
[0004] Hence, there is a need for an improved system to generate real time electronic ticket and a method to operate the same and therefore address the aforementioned issues.
