Claims (6)

1. Computers, Authentication means that obtains authentication information for the user to participate in an event from the user's terminal device and performs authentication processing on the authentication information. When the authentication process is performed, the system determines the status of the communication function settings on the terminal device, and if the communication function of the terminal device is turned on, it functions as a screen control means that transitions the display screen of the terminal device to a settings screen related to the communication function . The screen control means is a program that determines the status of the communication function settings in the terminal device based on icons indicating the communication status displayed on the display screen of the terminal device .
2. The authentication means is the program according to claim 1, which acquires the authentication information in response to an input operation by the user to the terminal device.
3. The program according to claim 1 or 2, wherein the screen control means determines that the communication function in the terminal device is off , and the authentication means authenticates the authentication information, then control is performed to allow the user to participate in the event .
4. Computers, The program according to claim 1 or claim 2, further configured to function as a communication control means for switching the communication function of the terminal device on or off.
5. The program according to claim 1 or 2, wherein the screen control means, upon detecting the end of the event, transitions the display screen of the terminal device to the settings screen.
6. An information processing system comprising one or more information processing devices, Authentication means that obtains authentication information for the user to participate in the event from the user's terminal device and performs authentication processing on the said authentication information, When the aforementioned authentication process is performed, the system includes a screen control means that determines the status of the communication function settings on the terminal device, and if the communication function of the terminal device is turned on , transitions the display screen of the terminal device to a settings screen related to the communication function . The screen control means is an information processing system that determines the setting status of the communication function in the terminal device based on icons indicating the communication status displayed on the display screen of the terminal device .

Description

This disclosure relates to programs and information processing systems. Conventionally, technologies for switching communication modes in user terminal devices are known. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a control method for communication equipment that, when a first communication means performing wireless communication via radio waves changes from in-flight mode to normal mode, uses a second communication means performing wireless communication without radio waves to transmit a request to resume communication from the first communication means. Japanese Patent Publication No. 2017-55222 Figure 1 is a diagram showing the configuration of an information processing system according to an embodiment of this disclosure.Figure 2 is a block diagram showing the server configuration shown in Figure 1.Figure 3 is a sequence diagram showing the operation flow of the information processing system when a user enters an event venue.Figure 4 is a diagram illustrating the transitions in the display screen of a terminal device when a user enters an event venue.Figure 5 is a sequence diagram showing the operation flow of the information processing system when a user leaves the event venue. The embodiments of this technical concept will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. In the following description, identical parts are denoted by the same reference numerals. Their names and functions are also the same. Therefore, detailed descriptions of them will not be repeated. [Overview of the Information Processing System Configuration] Figure 1 is a diagram showing the configuration of an information processing system 100 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 1, the information processing system 100 comprises a terminal device 10 used by a user, a reading device 11 that reads the screen displayed on the terminal device 10, and a server (computer, information processing device) 20. The terminal device 10 is a smartphone, tablet, or phablet, etc. When a user participates in an event to watch a live video of a performer (e.g., a singer or idol), they perform an operation to display, for example, an electronic ticket 50 for the event (see Figure 4(A) below) on the screen of their terminal device 10. This performer includes not only real people but also virtual characters, etc. The electronic ticket 50 uses a QR code (registered trademark) or barcode, and stores ticket information (authentication information) for the user to participate in the event. Then, when the user holds the terminal device 10 over the reader device 11, the reader device 11 processes the display screen of the electronic ticket 50 and obtains the ticket information stored in the electronic ticket 50. The reader device 11 then transmits the obtained ticket information to the server 20. When server 20 receives ticket information transmitted from reader 11, it performs authentication processing on that ticket information. Server 20 also performs processing related to the communication functions of terminal device 10. Details of the communication function processing will be described later. Then, once the authentication process by server 20 is successful and the communication function processing is completed, control is performed to permit participation in the event. This control includes displaying a screen indicating user permission to participate on terminal device 10 or reader device 11, outputting an audio message indicating user permission to participate from terminal device 10 or reader device 11, and opening the entrance gate to the facility where the event is being held (hereinafter referred to as the "event venue"). When such control is implemented, users will understand that they are permitted to attend the event and will be able to enter the event venue. The event venue may be indoors or outdoors. [Description of the task] In some event venues, participants may be provided with HMDs (Head-Mounted Displays) capable of viewing VR (Virtual Reality) videos and other videos, allowing for simultaneous video viewing. For example, video data may be pre-downloaded to each HMD, while audio and music are output through speakers within the event venue. Then, a control device set up at the venue controls the operation of each HMD using, for example, a 2.4 GHz wireless signal. Specifically, the control device sends a start signal to each HMD at the start of video playback and sends a confirmation signal to each HMD during video distribution to check the distribution status on each HMD. The control device may also control each HMD to enable streaming playback of the video. In an event venue like this, if numerous participants' terminal devices 10 use Wi-Fi® signals for communication or tethering for internet sharing, radio interference may occur within the venue. Such interference could disrupt communication between the control device and each HMD, potentially causing delays in the delivery of videos. Theref
