## Abstract

Systems and methods for providing transit access using display-integrated barriers. One embodiment includes a gateline having a first display-integrated barrier configured to display a first visual message and to be moved to allow a holder of a portable electronic device to enter the transit system. The gateline may include a receiving antenna configured to receive a wireless electromagnetic signal transmitted by a portable electronic device. A transit server may transmit an inquiry signal regarding an aspect of the first visual message to the portable electronic device, receive a response signal, and analyze the response signal to determine that the response signal correctly verifies the aspect of the first visual message. The transit server may effect a transit data augmentation amount to an account associated with the portable electronic device.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A transit system comprising:
a gateline comprising:
a first gate comprising a first display and a receiving antenna;
one or more processors configured to perform operations comprising:
receiving a first visual message;
causing the first visual message to be displayed on the first display;
receiving, via the receiving antenna, a wireless signal transmitted by a portable electronic device; and
determining that a holder of the portable electronic device entered the transit system through the first gate based on receiving the wireless signal;
a transit server configured to perform actions including:
sending the first visual message to the gateline;
in response to the holder of the portable electronic device entering the transit system through the first gate, transmitting an inquiry signal regarding an aspect of the first visual message to the portable electronic device;
receiving, from the portable electronic device, a response signal;
analyzing the response signal to determine that the response signal correctly verifies the aspect of the first visual message; and
effecting a transit data augmentation amount to an account associated with the portable electronic device.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The transit system of claim 1, wherein the first gate further comprises a physical barrier, wherein the gateline is configured to allow the holder of the portable electronic device to enter the transit system by removing the physical barrier.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The transit system of claim 2, wherein the first display is integrated with the physical barrier.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The transit system of claim 1, wherein the gateline further comprises:
a second gate including a second display configured to display a second visual message, wherein the transit server is configured to send the second visual message to the gateline.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The transit system of claim 1, wherein the first visual message is selected by the transit server based on historical data associated with the portable electronic device.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The transit system of claim 1, wherein the inquiry signal includes a question regarding the aspect of the first visual message and the response signal includes a user-entered response to the question.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The transit system of claim 1, wherein the one or more processors are integrated with the first gate.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The transit system of claim 1, wherein the first display is positioned along a side of the first gate facing a non-restricted access area of the transit system.

### Claim 9

A computer-implemented method comprising:
sending, by a transit server of a transit system to a gateline, a first visual message;
displaying, by a first display associated with a first gate of the gateline, the first visual message;
receiving, by the gateline via a receiving antenna associated with the first gate, a wireless signal transmitted by a portable electronic device;
determining that a holder of the portable electronic device entered the transit system through the first gate based on the receiving antenna receiving the wireless signal;
in response to the holder of the portable electronic device entering the transit system through the first gate, transmitting an inquiry signal regarding an aspect of the first visual message to the portable electronic device;
receiving, from the portable electronic device, a response signal;
analyzing the response signal to determine that the response signal correctly verifies the aspect of the first visual message; and
effecting a transit data augmentation amount to an account associated with the portable electronic device.

### Claim 10 (depends on 9)

The computer-implemented method of claim 9, wherein the gateline is configured to allow the holder of the portable electronic device to enter the transit system through the first gate by removing a physical barrier associated with the first gate.

### Claim 11 (depends on 9)

The computer-implemented method of claim 9, further comprising:
receiving, by the gateline from the transit server, a second visual message; and
displaying, by a second display associated with a second gate of the gateline, the second visual message.

### Claim 12 (depends on 9)

The computer-implemented method of claim 9, wherein the first visual message is selected by the transit server based on historical data associated with the portable electronic device.

### Claim 13 (depends on 9)

The computer-implemented method of claim 9, wherein the response signal is received by the transit server from the portable electronic device.

### Claim 14 (depends on 9)

The computer-implemented method of claim 9, wherein the response signal is analyzed by the transit server.

### Claim 15 (depends on 9)

The computer-implemented method of claim 9, wherein the transit data augmentation amount is effected to the account by the transit server.

### Claim 16 (depends on 9)

The computer-implemented method of claim 9, wherein the inquiry signal includes a question regarding the aspect of the first visual message and the response signal includes a user-entered response to the question.
