Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

The present invention relates to a card-integrated foam with a non-contact IC chip. Specifically, it is a card integrated form with a non-contact IC chip,
The present invention relates to a form in which predetermined items can be recorded on an IC chip, the card portion of the form can be used as an invitation card for an event or an exhibition, a membership card in the distribution industry, and the card can be used for sending the card.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A card-integrated form capable of simultaneously printing with a printer has the advantage that the so-called matching work, which is the work of matching the contents of the card with the addressee, can be reduced, but this is used for invitation cards and the like. If
Member data and visitor management are performed by reading the barcode number printed on the card with a barcode reader, so that the card must be read for each point, which takes time. Also,
Since the amount of data that can be recorded with a barcode is limited, only a minimum amount of specific information can be read, and there is also a problem that much personal information cannot be recorded on or added to the card itself.

[0003] Therefore, it is conceivable to manufacture a card having a non-contact IC chip on a normal form integrally, and to record a predetermined item on the IC to greatly increase the amount of recorded information. As one of the prior arts related to such a technology, there is JP-A-11-126238 “IC card issuing system”. However, the IC card shown in FIG. 2 of the publication has a structure in which an IC card in which resin sheets are laminated on the front and back sides is releasably bonded to an IC card issuing form via an adhesive layer or the like. Since the IC card and the form for issuing are separate products manufactured in different processes, there is a problem that the manufacturing cost is increased.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, the present invention provides an efficient and low-cost card-integrated form with a non-contact IC chip by manufacturing a business form with a card having a non-contact IC chip. In addition to this, it is possible to increase the amount of recorded information by recording predetermined items on an IC chip, and to further reduce the reading operation as described above. In this specification, the term “IC chip” refers to a semiconductor having an integrated control device and memory,
The “card with a non-contact IC chip” refers to a card that includes the “IC chip” and has an oscillation circuit that can wirelessly communicate with a reader / writer device or the like in a non-contact manner. Generally, "non-contact IC tag", "RF-ID tag",
It is also called "non-contact IC card".

[0007]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A card-integrated foam with a non-contact IC chip according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a card-integrated foam with a non-contact IC chip according to the present invention. 1A is a front view, FIG. 1B is a rear view, and FIG.
It is sectional drawing in the AA of (A). As shown in FIG. 1 (A), on the front side of the card-integrated form 1, an address card 2 having a predetermined print column 21 for delivery, and a non-contact I
There are three parts of the card with the C chip, and on the card part with the non-contact IC chip, predetermined items 31 such as a member number, a name, an expiration date of the card, and a contact address of the club secretariat are printed. However, these are not essential. In the drawing, reference numeral 4 denotes a half-cut punching line which defines the outer shape of the card, which is usually 54.0 × 85.5 which is the standard shape of the card.
Although it is made into a rectangular shape of about mm, it is not particularly limited to a rectangular shape. In the present invention, the surface side of the foam may be any surface as the surface side,
For convenience, the side of the paper substrate on which the half-cut punching line is punched will be referred to as the front side.

As shown in FIG. 1B, a thin plastic film 5 is adhered to a card portion with a non-contact IC chip on the back side of the foam. The thin plastic film consists of a laminate of two layers of film adhered by a pseudo adhesive layer. The film needs to be larger than the outer shape of the card, but need not be large enough to cover the entire foam. The half-cut punching line 4 is shown by a dotted line, which means that the punching line does not penetrate to this surface. In an actual card with a non-contact IC chip, the surface on the back side of the foam is the practical front side of the card, so that beautiful decorative printing of the card is usually performed on the surface. This decorative printing is preferably performed on the plastic film surface rather than on the foam paper substrate 1b in order to avoid overlapping with an antenna pattern described later. In an empty space other than the card 3 with the non-contact IC chip of the mount form, an explanation column 9 for guidance of an event or an exhibition or a member's rule can be provided.

As shown in FIG. 1C, the base material of the card 3 with a non-contact IC chip is an integrated paper base material 1b connected to the foam paper, and a base material of a different material from the foam paper is laminated. It was not done. In the foam of the present invention, the integrated base material connected to the foam paper as described above is formed by a non-contact IC.
Since it is used for a card with a chip, the cost can be reduced. Half cut four lines punched from the card paper base material side are two layers of plastic films 5a and 5b.
Is punched to just the depth of the pseudo-adhesive layer 6, which is in the middle of the plastic film 5b, and does not penetrate the entire plastic film 5b. FIG. 1 (C) is an enlarged and disassembled scale in the vertical direction (thickness direction of the foam). The paper substrate 1b of the card 3 with a non-contact IC chip is a plastic film. On the five sides, antenna patterns 3a and 3b are printed.
A seal 7 with an IC chip is mounted on a and 3b. The antenna patterns 3a and 3b are usually printed with conductive printing ink using carbon, aluminum, silver paste, or a mixture thereof.

The seal 7 with an IC chip is an IC chip 8 provided with an IC (integrated circuit) and a memory on a silicon substrate.
Is a state in which a tack seal is formed so as to be attachable to the antenna patterns 3a and 3b of the card 3 with the non-contact IC chip, and the small antenna portion connected to the IC chip 8 is also provided on the seal seal 7 with the IC chip itself. Usually, it has 7a and 7b. As this kind of seal with an IC chip, a commercialized product, specifically, an interposer for “Bistatax” manufactured by Motorola can be used.

The small antenna pattern of the seal 7 with the IC chip is also printed with conductive ink. FIG.
Although not shown in (C), the IC chip 8 is formed with two planar bumps that protrude from the chip or are formed in two planes.
b. In order for the antenna patterns 7a and 7b to be aligned and adhered to the antenna patterns 3a and 3b of the card 3 with the non-contact IC chip to achieve conduction, the adhesive 7c interposed between the antenna patterns must be electrically conductive. Is required. In particular, the adhesive 7c includes the antenna patterns 3a, 3
It is preferable to use an anisotropic conductive adhesive which conducts only in a direction perpendicular to the planes b, 7a and 7b. As the adhesive 7d between the plastic film 5a and the antenna patterns 3a and 3b of the card 3 with a non-contact IC chip, a general adhesive can be used, and there is no need to consider conductivity or the like.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of an antenna pattern printed on a card with a non-contact IC chip. The antenna patterns 3a and 3b are printed in two separate patterns. The antenna patterns 7a and 7b of the seal 7 with the IC chip are adhered so as to overlap the antenna patterns 3a and 3b. The antenna patterns 3a and 3b are 2
The present invention is not limited to a pattern in which pieces are separated from each other, and may be a coil-shaped winding pattern. In the case of the coil-shaped winding pattern, the connection terminals at both ends of the winding pattern are formed so as to be close to each other, and the antenna terminals 7a and 7b of the seal 7 with the IC chip are connected to the connection terminals. To wear. The antenna patterns 3a and 3b are not limited to the rectangular shape as shown in the figure when printed in two separate patterns, but may be separated circular shapes, elliptical shapes, triangular shapes, or the like. May be any shape. The antenna patterns 7a and 7b are not limited to a triangular shape as shown in the figure.

<Embodiment of Material> In the above description,
(1) As the paper substrate 1b of the foam paper, for example, art paper, coated paper, high quality paper, cast coated paper, card paper, or the like can be used. It is preferable that a process for enhancing insulation and water resistance between the antenna patterns 3a and 3b be performed, and it is preferable that a partial process (insulation printing) be performed on the lower surface before printing the antenna pattern. Alternatively, the base material 1b may be synthetic paper having printability. (2) Although the same base material can be used for the base material 7B of the seal 7 with the IC chip, a plastic film may be used, and it is similarly preferable to have an insulating property.

(3) The technique of pseudo-adhering a plastic film is a technique commonly used in concealed postcards and the like.
As the above-mentioned plastic films 5a and 5b, those having low adhesiveness to each other are usually used. For example, polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP) and PE, polybutylene terephthalate ( PBT) and PE, PET and P
Combinations of olefin resins and ester resins such as P, PET and PET, and PBT and PP. The pseudo adhesive layer 6 between the films 5a and 5b is formed by, for example, extrusion-coating a resin of the same material as one of the films, for example, PE, between the PET (or PE) film 5a and the PE (or PET) film 5b. By laminating the films 5a and 5b. That is, by applying one film and an adhesive resin in a molten state between films having low adhesiveness to each other, a pseudo-adhesion state between the molten resin and the other film having low adhesiveness is obtained. Can be formed.

The production of such a card-integrated foam with a non-contact IC chip is performed as follows. First, (1)
It prints on a continuous form paper in a predetermined print field on the address card or card surface, and performs standard printing such as instructions for using the card. Next, (2) the antenna patterns 3a and 3b are printed with conductive ink on the surface to which the seal with the IC chip is to be attached. The printing of (1) and (2) can be performed in-line. (3) The seal 7 with the IC chip prepared in advance is correctly aligned and attached to the antenna patterns 3a and 3b. (4) On the other hand, decorative printing of the card is performed on the surface of the plastic film 5a on the inner surface side (the side with the seal with the IC chip 7), and another plastic film 5b is pseudo-adhered to the non-printing surface of the film. It is prepared by applying an adhesive 5d. By performing decorative printing on the inner surface side of the plastic film 5a that also serves as a protective layer of the card, the antenna patterns 3a and 3b and the seal 7 with an IC chip can be hidden (see FIG. 1C).

(5) A two-layer plastic film with the adhesive 5d is further bonded to the surface on which the seal 7 with the IC chip is bonded. The adhesive 5d may be a hot-melt type adhesive. In this case, the two-layer plastic film can be adhered to the foam mount while applying heat and pressure. (6) A half-cut punching line 4 is added to the outer shape of the card 3.
Is inserted so that the depth becomes just the depth up to the pseudo adhesive layer 6, and the card integrated form 1 with the non-contact IC chip is completed.

Next, a method of using the card-integrated foam with a non-contact IC chip of the present invention will be described. FIG.
FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram of a method of using a card-integrated form with a non-contact IC chip. FIG. 3A shows the completed non-contact I
1 shows a card-integrated form 1 with a C chip, which is formed in a spelled and folded continuous form. Decorative printing and printing of fixed-form item columns on the front side of the card with a non-contact IC chip have already been performed, a pseudo-adhesive film has been bonded, and half-cut punching lines 4 have already been provided. First, individual items such as a name and an address are printed on the surface of the address card 2 and the card 3 with the non-contact IC chip using a continuous printer on the form 1, and the IC chip of the card 3 with the non-contact IC chip is printed. 8 is written. The content recorded in the memory of the IC chip 8 is predetermined data on the inviter if the form is an invitation to an event or an exhibition, and if the form is a sending card such as a membership card, the predetermined data on the member or the transaction. Is recorded. Next, the marginal holes 1 on both sides of the foam
h is cut from the perforation line 1m to form a sheet (FIG. 3).
(B)), window-open envelope 10 together with the enclosed matter (such as a guide letter)
And send it to the recipient. Window part 1 of window envelope 10
From 0 m, the printed address and the like can be seen (FIG. 3C).

The user who has received the card peels off the part of the card 3 with the non-contact IC chip from the form mount and brings the card 3 to an event opening or an exhibition (FIG. 3).
(D)). After peeling off the card 3 with the non-contact IC chip of the foam mount, only one layer of plastic film (for example, PET film) remains on the mount.

Since the reader / writer can read the data recorded on the IC chip simply by the user lowering the card 3 with the non-contact IC chip around his / her neck and passing through the gate provided with the reader / writer, entry registration can be easily performed. In addition, the waiting time during congestion is reduced. In addition, since information such as entry time and information on which booth the user has visited is recorded in the memory of the card, it can be read and investigated later. When using as a member card or transaction card, remove the card from the form mount and bring it to the store in the same way, let the reader / writer read the data at the time of purchase, and record new point points and information on purchased products. It can also be added to the card itself. Therefore, it is possible to save the trouble of sequentially accumulating information in the database.

Further, since the data processing performed after the collection of the card can be performed in a non-contact manner by communicating with the reader / writer, it is not necessary to perform the reading operation for each card, and an aggregated card ( Radio waves oscillating and responding to the piled state) can be read at once. If the cards respond to the reader / writer all at once, data collision (collision) may occur, but various methods of sequentially reading data while avoiding the collision have been developed. Even though the reading is performed sequentially, it is almost instantaneous in real time, so that the entire reading can be performed in a very short time, and the labor-saving effect of the reading operation is extremely remarkable.

FIG. 4 also shows the method of use, but shows a cross-sectional state. FIG. 4A shows a state before the card 3 with a non-contact IC chip is peeled off from the foam substrate.
(B) shows a state after the card 3 with a non-contact IC chip is peeled off from the foam mount. The card 3 is used by being extracted from the half-cut punching line 4. As described above, the plastic film 5b remains on the backing paper after peeling, but one plastic film 5a remains on the front surface side of the card 3, so that it can serve as a protective layer of the card.

[0022]

As described above, the card-integrated foam with the non-contact IC chip of the present invention has the following remarkable effects. (1) The address card and the card with the non-contact IC chip are on the same form card and are printed simultaneously, so that there is no discrepancy between the addressee and the contents of the card. (2) Since the amount of information recorded on the IC chip is significantly increased as compared with a conventional one using a barcode or a magnetic card, necessary information can be recorded without lack. In addition, additional information can be recorded as needed. Subsequent information processing is also easy. (3) Since the address mount and the card with a non-contact IC chip are formed from the same base material, the cost can be reduced.
