Abstract: A method and portable module are provided for managing access to a resource by resource users, comprising: a module input to allow entry of a reservation request; a processor arranged upon receipt of the reservation request to identify a time slot during which resource users may access the resource, based upon an updatable resource access parameter; and a module output arranged to indicate the identified time slot to a user of the module. A portable module and method for determining the number of tokens received from users of a network are also provided. The network comprises a plurality of portable modules and includes a root node.

Abstract: A queue control system, and queuing methods for use therewith are disclosed. The queuing system allocates a sequential series of places in a single queue line for an attraction to each patron or group of patrons as they enter the queue. The system permits any one or identified group of patrons to be virtually present or otherwise qualified in the queue as if they are physically present in the queue although they may in fact be physically absent from the queue by retaining the patron's place in the queue through the provision of a virtual position in the queue line or sequence until the patron's position is due to reach the head of that queue line. The system also makes provision for charging the patrons a premium for using designated attractions during predetermined time periods, as well as permitting the patrons to accelerate their progress through the attraction queue therefor.

Abstract: The invention provides a system for regulating access to a resource by a plurality of users, comprising: a plurality of portable access keys, each being provided to one of the plurality of users and having a variable access parameter associated therewith, each portable access key allowing the respective user to indicate a desire for a number of people to access the resource and arranged to store this indication; a queue manager, arranged to set an access criterion for the resource; a queue interface, adapted to determine that the variable access parameter for a portable access key for which a desire to access the resource has been indicated meets the access criterion, and consequently to register the portable access key in a queue sequence. The queue manager is arranged to manage the queue sequence and to communicate to a portable access key that has been added to the queue sequence an indication of when it can access the resource and configured to set the access criterion for the resource on the basis of a length of the queue sequence.

Abstract: A system for regulating access to a resource by a plurality of users, comprises: a plurality of portable access keys, each being provided to one of the plurality of users and having an eligibility level associated therewith; a standard access queue allowing access to the resource by all users at a standard access rate; a premium access barrier allowing access to the resource at a premium access rate for users in a premium access queue, separate from the standard access queue; and a queue manager for managing the premium access queue by receiving a request from a user wishing to access the resource via the premium access queue, allowing the user to access the resource via the premium access barrier if the eligibility level associated with the user's portable access key meets an eligibility threshold, determining an access queue characteristic and setting the eligibility threshold based on the determined access queue characteristic.

Abstract: A system for regulating access to a resource (50) by a plurality of users is provided. The system comprises: a plurality of portable access keys (10), each being provided to one of the users and having an associated variable access parameter; an access barrier (20), having an open state allowing passage through and a closed state denying access to the resource, and defining an access queue (40); a sensor (60) that determines an access queue characteristic related to a number of users in the access queue; a controller (60), which sets an access criterion based on the determined access queue characteristic; and a detector (25), located at the access barrier and which determines the variable access parameter of a portable access key when it is brought into the vicinity of the detector. The controller sets the access barrier in its open state if the variable access parameter determined by the detector meets the access criterion.
