DETAILED DESCRIPTION The U.
S.
application Ser.
No.
342,658, filed on Nov.
21, 1994, by Joel R.
Goheen, now U.
S.
Pat.
No.
5,724,520, issued Mar.
3, 1998, the subject matter of which is incorporated herein by reference, discloses an electronic ticketing and reservation system and method in which a person may make a reservation for any pre-planned activity to be participated in at a future date and be admitted to the preplanned activity without the need to present a paper ticket.
In the Goheen system and method, as applied to airline travel, for example, a prospective passenger will typically place a telephone call to an airline reservation center, obtain flight availability information and book a reservation on a selected future flight.
The system then establishes a reservation for the prospective passenger by storing in a central computer a file containing personal information concerning the prospective passenger and flight information concerning the selected future flight for which the reservation is being booked.
The personal information is basically the passenger's personal identification, such as a personal I.
D.
# and/or the individual's name, address and telephone number.
The flight information will typically include the flight number, date and time of departure, the departure airport and the destination airport.
This concludes the reservation process, and unlike other reservation systems and methods, the passenger is not issued a paper ticket.
However, the airline will issue a personal identification card to the passenger for use in connection with the current reservation and future reservations made by the passenger with the airline.
This personal identification card includes no flight or other reservation information, but carries on a magnetic strip, for example, only information which identifies the individual passenger, such as a passenger personal I.
D.
number.
In lieu of a card having a magnetic strip, an rf contact-less device capable of providing the same information as a magnetic card may be issued to the passenger for identification purposes
