Method and apparatus to implement valid mobile ticket transfer

A computer-implemented method for performing a valid transfer of an electronic mobile ticket on a mobile device by a ticketing application system of a ticket processing center, said method comprising:

• acquiring an electronic message, wherein said electronic message includes an encrypted electronic mobile ticket to be transmitted from a first user to a second user, and wherein said electronic mobile ticket is encrypted with a key shared by said first user and said ticketing application system;
• modifying a target receiver of said electronic message in said ticketing application system;
• adding a mobile device number of said second user into said electronic message;
• transmitting said electronic message that includes an encrypted electronic mobile ticket encrypted using a key shared between said second user and said ticketing application system and said mobile device number of said second user to said ticketing application system to allow said ticketing application system to implement a valid transfer of said electronic mobile ticket, wherein said electronic message is transmitted to a mobile device of said second user using a short message service (SMS) with a flag in a message header to indicate said SMS message includes an encrypted electronic mobile ticket;
• transmitting a decryption command via SMS to said mobile device of said second user to decrypt said electronic mobile ticket encrypted using said key shared between said second user and said ticketing application system;
• and
• in response to said decryption command presenting on said mobile device of said second user said encrypted electronic mobile ticket, based on said flag being found.

A computer-implemented apparatus for performing a valid transfer of an electronic mobile ticket on a mobile device by a ticketing application system of a ticket processing center, said apparatus comprising:

• a computer system with
• a receiving module for receiving a first electronic message from a first user, wherein said first electronic message includes an encrypted electronic mobile ticket and a mobile device number of a second user, and wherein said electronic mobile ticket is encrypted with a key shared between said first user and said ticketing application system;
• a decryption module for decrypting said encrypted electronic mobile ticket;
• a generation module for generating an electronic mobile ticket encrypted with a key shared by said ticketing application system and said second user;
• a transmission module for transmitting a second electronic message that includes said electronic mobile ticket encrypted with said key shared between said ticketing application system and said second user to a mobile device of said second user, wherein said second electronic message is transmitted using a short message service (SMS) with a flag in a message header to indicate said SMS message includes an encrypted electronic mobile ticket;
• transmitting a decryption command via SMS to said mobile device of said second user to decrypt said electronic mobile ticket encrypted using said key shared between said second user and said ticketing application system;
• and
• in response to said decryption command presenting on said mobile device of said second user said encrypted electronic mobile ticket, based on said flag being found.
