Point of Sale Event Ticketing Kiosk
Application: Point of Sale Event Ticket Machine
Quatech Products Used: QSU-100
4 Port USB to RS-232 Serial Adapter
Point of sale event ticket kiosks are becoming increasingly popular in
movie theaters, amusement parks, sporting events, and many other entertainment
venues. These ticketing system kiosks enable customers to select an event,
choose seating, remit payment, receive a printed ticket and receipt, and
even to have points credited to their loyalty program cards. As shown
in the system diagram above, this interactive kiosk has an embedded PC
at its core, and uses a Quatech QSU-100 to provide the four serial ports
required to connect to the kiosk hardware peripherals. In this example,
a motion detector is used to alert the kiosk to a customer's approach,
a touch-panel display is used to enable the customer to select purchase
options, an integrated 3-track magnetic stripe reader (MSR) is used to
read credit cards, loyalty cards, and identification cards, and finally
a fan-fold ticket printer dispenses tickets and receipts.
