Abstract: A method and a system for registering tickets includes defining a waking zone with a transceiver unit having a transmitting unit, defining a registration zone with a registration transceiver unit, providing tickets having a processor, a memory, a ticket receiver, and a ticket transceiver for communicating between the waking zone and the tickets, transmitting a first information unit from the transmitting unit to the ticket receiver of a ticket located in the waking zone, activating the ticket transceiver of the ticket located in the waking zone with an item of information contained in the first information unit, at a beginning of ticket registration, setting up a bi-directional communication between the registration transceiver unit and a ticket transceiver of a ticket located in the registration zone through additional information units, and registering ticket presence to establish a service to be used or a defined presence.

Abstract: When registering electronic tickets by means of a transmitter/receiver unit located in a railway carriage, for charging purposes data is created in a remote computer system which yields a movement profile for the persons using such tickets. For the anonymous prepaid registration of tickets it is proposed that a shadow account be maintained on the tickets to which postings are made using provisional tariff units contained in transmitted information units. In the remote computer system, a booking or posting is made to an account assigned to the respective ticket, using definitive tariff units contained in tariff tables. When a prepayment is made or at certain points in time the balance of the shadow account is synchronized with the balance on the remote computer system.
