Abstract
Systems and techniques are presented for displaying information customized for a ticket of a fare gate. Ticket information for the ticket is received via a ticket validation device. A customized image for the ticket is determined based on the ticket information. Further, a first position of an object is detected within an area of the floor. Based on the first position of the object, a second position within the area for displaying the customized image is determined. The second position is proximate to the first position. A display image is determined for the area and the display image includes the customized image at the second position. The display image is displayed within the area on the floor.

A system for displaying information customized for a ticket of a fare gate, the system comprising:
- a ticket validation device configured to receive ticket information from the ticket that is presented to the ticket validation device;
- a display device configured to display visual information on an area of a floor;
- a tracking system configured to detect an object within the area and track a first position of the object within the area;
- and
- a computer server system coupled to the ticket validation device, the display device and the tracking system, the computer server system being configured to:
- receive ticket data from the ticket validation device, the ticket data indicating the ticket information of the ticket,
- determine a customized image for the ticket based on the ticket data,
- receive position data from the tracking system, the position data indicating the first position of the object within the area,
- determine, based on the first position of the object, a second position within the area for displaying the customized image, wherein the second position is proximate to the first position,
- determine a display image for the area, the display image including the customized image at the second position, and
- transmit a signal to the display device that causes the display image to be displayed within the area on the floor.
A method for displaying information customized for a ticket of a fare gate, the method comprising:
- receiving ticket information for the ticket via a ticket validation device;
- determining a customized image for the ticket based on the ticket information;
- detecting a first position of an object within an area of a floor;
- determining, based on the first position of the object, a second position within the area for displaying the customized image, wherein the second position is proximate to the first position;
- determining a display image for the area, the display image including the customized image at the second position;
- and

- receiving ticket data from a ticket validation device, the ticket data indicating ticket information for a ticket of a fare gate;
- determining a customized image for the ticket based on the ticket data;
- receiving position data from a tracking system, the position data indicating a first position of an object within an area of a floor;
- determining, based on the first position of the object, a second position within the area for displaying the customized image, wherein the second position is proximate to the first position;
- determining a display image for the area, the display image including the customized image at the second position;
- and
- transmitting a signal to a display device that causes the display device to display the display image within the area on the floor.
