Description

  The present invention relates to a technique for efficiently processing information entered in a form for an electronic pen.

  In recent years, pen-type input devices called “electronic pens” and “digital pens” have appeared (hereinafter referred to as “electronic pens” in this specification). The developed “Anoto pen” is known. Anotopen is used in a pair with dedicated paper (hereinafter also referred to as “dedicated paper”) on which a predetermined dot pattern is printed. In addition to the normal ink-type pen tip, the Anoto pen is equipped with a small camera for reading the dot pattern on the dedicated paper and a data communication unit. When a user writes characters on the special paper with an anotopen or checks an image that is designed on the special paper, the small camera detects the dot pattern on the special paper as the pen moves, and the user Entry information such as written characters and images is acquired. This entry information is transmitted from the Anotopen by the data communication unit to a terminal device such as a nearby personal computer or mobile phone. The system using this anotopen can be used as an input device in place of the keyboard, and is very easy to use for users who are reluctant to use the personal computer and keyboard described above. Therefore, a system using an electronic pen is becoming widespread as a technique for digitizing data entered in various business documents, application forms, contracts, and the like.

  Specifically, as a system using an electronic pen, data entry at the time of application for a member organization can be cited. Usually, in such a system, a unique member number is given to the applicant, and a member card in which the member number is recorded with a magnetic stripe or the like is often issued. When considering the membership application alone, it is possible to expect a certain effect by making the application form the above-mentioned dedicated paper and converting the entry information into data using an electronic pen.

  However, when issuing a membership card together, the membership number is already recorded and stamped on the card due to the general process of card manufacturing, so what application number corresponds to which membership number? Must be associated. In a system using a conventional electronic pen, it is difficult to associate the entry details with the membership number at the same time as the application, so if there is a high need to make the membership card available immediately after the application, the system using the electronic pen is applied. The problem of being unable to do so has arisen.

  It would be convenient if such problems could be solved and an electronic pen could be used to efficiently perform application processing at the time of card issuance and personal authentication processing at the time of card usage.

  In addition, although the system (for example, patent documents 1 thru | or 3) which raises the efficiency of matching by integrating an application and a membership card is known, it is not a system using an electronic pen, and this invention is Is different.

  Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. First, an outline of an electronic pen used as an input device in the system of the present invention will be described.

[Electronic pen]
FIG. 1 is a diagram schematically showing how the electronic pen is used, and FIG. 2 is a functional block diagram showing the structure of the electronic pen. As shown in FIG. 1, the electronic pen 10 is used in combination with a dedicated paper 20 on which a dot pattern is printed. The electronic pen 10 includes a pen tip portion 17 similar to a normal ink pen, and a user writes characters on the dedicated paper 20 in the same manner as a normal ink pen.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the electronic pen 10 includes a processor 11, a memory 12, a data communication unit 13, a battery 14, an LED 15, a camera 16, and a pressure sensor 18 therein. The electronic pen 10 includes an ink cartridge (not shown) as a component similar to a normal ink pen.

  The electronic pen 10 does not convert the locus of the ink drawn on the dedicated paper 20 by the pen tip unit 17 but converts the locus coordinates of the movement of the electronic pen 10 on the dedicated paper 20 into data. While the LED 15 illuminates the vicinity of the pen tip 17 on the dedicated paper 20, the camera 16 reads the dot pattern printed on the dedicated paper 20 and converts it into data. That is, the electronic pen 10 can acquire, as image data or vector data, a stroke generated when the user moves the electronic pen 10 on the dedicated paper 20.

  The pressure sensor 18 detects the pressure applied to the pen tip portion 17 when the user writes characters on the dedicated paper with the electronic pen 10, that is, the writing pressure, and supplies the detected pressure to the processor 11. The processor 11 switches on / off the LED 15 and the camera 16 based on the writing pressure data provided from the pressure sensor 18. That is, when the user writes characters or the like on the dedicated paper 20 with the electronic pen 10, writing pressure is applied to the pen tip portion 17. Therefore, when the writing pressure exceeding the predetermined value is detected, it is determined that the user has started the description, and the LED 15 and the camera 16 are operated.

  The camera 16 reads the dot pattern on the dedicated paper 20 and supplies the pattern data to the processor 11. The processor 11 calculates X / Y coordinates on the dedicated paper 20 from the supplied dot pattern.

  The processor 11 acquires the writing pressure array data and the X / Y coordinate data while the description of the user is performed, and stores them in the memory 12 in association with the time stamp (time information). Therefore, data corresponding to the description content of the user is stored in the memory 12 in time series. The capacity of the memory 12 can be about 1 Mbyte, for example.

  All the acquired data is held in the memory 12 until a transmission instruction is given by the user. When the user gives a transmission instruction, the data communication unit 13 transmits the data in the memory 12 to the terminal device 25 within a predetermined distance from the electronic pen 10. Basically, once a transmission instruction is given, the electronic pen 10 transmits all data stored in the memory 12 to the terminal device 25, and thus the memory 12 is cleared. Therefore, when it is desired to transmit the same information to the terminal device 25 again after transmission, the user needs to write the description on the dedicated paper 20 again. In this case, the user can trace characters written on the dedicated paper 20 with an ink pen.

  The transmission instruction and other instructions are executed when the user checks the dedicated box provided at a predetermined position on the dedicated paper 20 with the electronic pen 10. A transmission instruction is associated with the position coordinates of the dedicated box in advance, and when the processor 11 receives the position coordinates of the dedicated box, the processor 11 supplies the data in the memory 12 to the data communication unit 13 and transmits it to the terminal device 25. To do. The electronic pen 10 can indicate completion of data transmission by vibration of the electronic pen. Further, the electronic pen 10 itself may be equipped with a transmission function.

  The battery 14 is for supplying power to each element in the electronic pen 10, and the electronic pen 10 itself can be turned on / off by a cap (not shown) of the electronic pen, for example.

  As described above, the electronic pen 10 has a function of acquiring coordinate data and writing pressure data corresponding to characters and the like described on the dedicated paper 20 by the user and transmitting them to the nearby terminal device 25. Since the pen tip portion 17 is a normal ink pen, the content described on the dedicated paper 20 remains as an original original. That is, at the same time as describing the original paper, its contents can be digitized in the form of coordinate data in real time.

  According to the standard function of the electronic pen 10, data obtained by the electronic pen 10 is in principle in the form of coordinate data or vector data, and is not text data. However, as a standard function, the electronic pen 10 has a function of converting text into alphanumeric characters by describing it in a dedicated area provided on the dedicated paper 20.

  Also, the electronic pen 10 can hold property information (pen information and pen owner information) regarding the pen itself and its owner, and can be referred to from an application. As the pen information, a battery level, a pen ID, a pen manufacturer number, a pen software version, a subscription provider ID, and the like can be held. The pen owner information can hold nationality, language, time zone, email address, free memory capacity, name, address, fax / phone number, mobile phone number, and the like.

  In the data communication unit 13 in the above example, the electronic pen 10 is connected to the terminal device 25 by various methods such as wireless transmission using Bluetooth (registered trademark), wired transmission using a USB cable, and data transmission by contact with a terminal. It is conceivable to perform data transmission.

  Next, a method for acquiring X / Y coordinate data of contents described by the user with the electronic pen will be described. As described above, a predetermined dot pattern is printed on the dedicated paper 20. The camera 16 of the electronic pen 10 does not read the locus of ink described on the dedicated paper 20 by the user, but reads the dot pattern on the dedicated paper 20. Actually, as shown in FIG. 1, the illumination area by the LED 15 and the shooting area of the camera 16 (located in the illumination area) are deviated from the position where the pen tip portion 17 contacts the dedicated paper 20.

  The dot pattern is printed with a special ink containing carbon, and the camera 16 can recognize only the pattern with the special ink. Even if a ruled line or a frame is printed on the dedicated paper with an ink other than the dedicated ink (not including carbon), the electronic pen does not recognize them. Therefore, when creating forms such as various application forms using dedicated paper, input frames, ruled lines, cautions, etc. are printed with ink other than dedicated ink.

  In the dot pattern, the position of each dot is associated with data, as illustrated in FIG. In the example of FIG. 3, the 2-bit information 0 to 3 is displayed by shifting the dot position vertically and horizontally from the reference position of the lattice (intersection of the vertical and horizontal lines). The position coordinates on the dedicated paper are determined by the combination of information expressed in this way. As illustrated in FIG. 4A, 36 dots are arranged in a grid within a range of 2 mm in length and width, and the data array (FIG. 4B) indicated by these dots is displayed on the dedicated paper. Are associated with the position coordinates. Therefore, when the camera 16 of the electronic pen 10 captures a dot pattern as shown in FIG. 4A, the processor 11 changes the data array shown in FIG. 4B based on the dot pattern data input from the camera 16. The position coordinates on the dedicated paper (that is, where the dot pattern is located on the dedicated paper) corresponding to the acquired position are calculated in real time. The minimum unit for recognizing a dot pattern is 2 mm × 2 mm, and the camera 16 takes about 100 shots per second.

  Next, the dedicated paper will be described. An example of the structure of the dedicated paper is shown in FIG. As shown in the figure, the dedicated paper 20 has a dot pattern 32 printed on a mount 30 and a design 34 such as a ruled line printed thereon. The mount 30 is usually paper, and the dot pattern 32 is printed with dedicated ink containing carbon as described above. Also, the design 34 is printed with normal ink or the like. The dot pattern and the design may be printed at the same time, or one of them may be printed first.

  An example of the design 34 is shown in FIG. FIG. 6 shows an example of a certain application form 36 in which a plurality of entry fields 38 and a transmission box 39 are printed. Although it is not clearly shown in FIG. 6 and will be described in detail later, a dot pattern is actually printed on the entire surface of the application form 36, and an entry box 38 and a transmission box 39 are formed on the entire surface using ordinary ink. It is printed. The user may fill out the necessary items in the entry fields 38 of the application form 36 using the electronic pen 10 in the same manner as a conventional application form without being aware of the dot pattern.

  The area on the dedicated paper 20 can be roughly divided into two types. One is an entry area, in which the content described by the electronic pen 10 is handled as information as it is. In the example of FIG. 6, a plurality of entry fields 38 correspond to this. The other is a functional element. When a corresponding area is checked with the electronic pen 10, actions, instructions, and the like defined for the area are executed in advance. The transmission box 39 in the example of FIG. 6 corresponds to this.

  The transmission box 39 is used when giving an instruction to transmit data stored in the electronic pen 10 to the nearby terminal device 25 as described above. When the user checks the transmission box 39 with the electronic pen 10, the electronic pen 10 reads the dot pattern in the transmission box. The pattern is associated with a transmission instruction, and the processor 11 in the electronic pen 10 issues a command to transmit data stored in the memory 12 to the data communication unit 13.

  The assignment of dot patterns is usually performed for each application (paper type). That is, the dot patterns in a certain application form do not overlap in one sheet, but the same dot pattern is printed on the same application form. Therefore, when the user inputs necessary items with the electronic pen 10, it can be specified from the coordinate data on the application form which item of the application form the input item is for.

  As described above, by printing a predetermined design on the dedicated paper on which the dot pattern is printed, various application forms using the dedicated paper can be created. If the user uses the electronic pen 10 and fills in necessary items in a normal manner, the electronic data is automatically acquired.

  In the above example, the dot pattern is printed on the dedicated paper with carbon-containing ink. However, it is also possible to print the dot pattern on ordinary paper using a printer and carbon-containing ink. Furthermore, the design on the dedicated paper can also be formed by a printer instead of printing. When dot patterns are formed on paper by a printer, different dot patterns can be formed on each sheet. Therefore, each of the sheets can be identified and distinguished by the difference in the formed dot pattern.

  In the present specification, the term “print” is a concept including not only normal printing but also printing by a printer.

  Next, transmission processing of data acquired by the electronic pen will be described with reference to FIG. The data acquired by the electronic pen 10 is mainly data of items input by the user, but usually does not include information on where the service server that is the transmission destination of the data is. Instead, information specifying the application or service related to the dedicated paper is included in the dot pattern on the dedicated paper, and the information is acquired from the dedicated paper during the user's input operation. Therefore, the terminal device 25 that has received the entry information from the electronic pen 10 first makes an inquiry to the inquiry server 26 to which service server 27 the data input to the dedicated paper should be transmitted. The inquiry server 26 has information on a corresponding service server for each dedicated paper, and in response to an inquiry from the terminal device 25, information (such as a URL) of the service server 27 that performs a service related to the dedicated paper. Answer to the terminal device 25. Then, the terminal device 25 transmits the entry information acquired from the electronic pen to the service server 27.

  In the above example, the terminal device 25, the inquiry server 26, and the service server 27 are separately configured. However, some or all of them may be configured as one device. The server described later in this embodiment also serves as the inquiry server 26 and the service server 27.

[Processing system]
Next, the processing system of the present invention will be described. FIG. 7 shows a schematic configuration of the processing system 100. The processing system shown in FIG. 7 uses an electronic pen form and an electronic pen card on which a dot pattern that can be recognized by the electronic pen 10 is used to perform application processing at the time of card issuance and personal authentication processing at the time of card use. It is an efficient system. In the present embodiment, it is assumed that an application form 3 as shown in FIG. 8 is used as the electronic pen form which is the above-described dedicated paper. Further, a membership card 4 as shown in FIG. 9 is used as an electronic pen card on which a dot pattern that can be recognized by the electronic pen 10 is printed.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the processing system 100 is configured by connecting the terminal device 25 and the server 5 through the network 2. Here, one suitable example of the network 2 is the Internet. The terminal device 25 is a terminal device that can exchange data via the network 2 such as a personal computer (hereinafter referred to as “PC”) or a mobile phone used by a user. The contents entered in the application form 3 and the membership card 4 by the electronic pen 10 are transmitted to the server 5 through the terminal device 25 as entry information.

  The server 5 performs application processing and personal authentication processing based on the acquired entry information, and is connected to a management information database (hereinafter referred to as “DB”) 6 and an application information DB 7. The management information DB 6 manages dot pattern coordinate data printed on the member card 4. On the other hand, the application information DB 7 manages information related to the contents entered in the application form 3 by the user.

  Here, the application form 3 will be described in detail with reference to FIG. FIG. 8 is an example of an application form that is a form for an electronic pen on which a dot pattern that can be recognized by the electronic pen 10 is printed. The dot pattern printed on the application form 3 is the same for all application forms of the same type. That is, the application form 3 is created in large quantities by printing a single dot pattern. As shown in the figure, the application form 3 is provided with items for entering a name, an address, a personal identification number, and the like. The user makes a predetermined application by filling in the required items using the electronic pen 10 in each item of the application form 3 as shown.

  Further, the member card 4 will be described in detail with reference to FIG. FIG. 9 shows an example of a membership card, which is an electronic pen card on which a dot pattern that can be recognized by the electronic pen 10 is partially or entirely printed. FIG. 9A shows the front surface of the membership card 4, and FIG. 9B shows the back surface of the membership card 4. As shown in FIG. 9A, the name of the member card and the member number are printed on the surface of the member card 4, but the present invention is not limited to this and can be designed arbitrarily. . The membership number is information for identifying each membership card 4. As shown in FIG. 9B, the back of the membership card 4 is provided with a sign panel for entering a name and a numeric keypad column 50 on which a dot pattern is printed. It is assumed that the dot pattern printed in the ten key column 50 is unique for each member card 4. That is, each member card 4 is provided with a different dot pattern and printed. The user who has issued the membership card 4 after the application, that is, the member, performs personal authentication by entering the personal identification number with the electronic pen 10 in the numeric keypad field 50.

  Next, an overview of the application process when the membership card 4 is issued will be described with reference to FIGS. When a user makes a predetermined application, the user first obtains the application form 3 and the membership card 4 from a predetermined institution or the like. Then, the user uses the electronic pen 10 to fill in the necessary items on the application form 3 as shown in FIG. The necessary items are, for example, personal information such as name and address. When the entry on the application form 3 is completed, the user subsequently checks the numeric keypad 50 provided on the back side of the membership card 4 as shown in FIG. In this way, by checking the numeric keypad 50, the address of the unique dot pattern printed on the member card 4, that is, the coordinate data can be recorded on the electronic pen 10. The electronic pen 10 transmits the stored entry information to the server 5 via the terminal device 25 by a predetermined operation of the user.

  Here, the entry information is stroke data, coordinate data, time information, etc. corresponding to the entry contents on the application form 3 and the membership card 4. Information corresponding to the contents entered in the application form 3 is referred to as application form entry information, and information corresponding to the contents entered in the member card 4 is referred to as card entry information. That is, the terminal device 25 and the server 5 that have acquired the entry information can output the file in a form in which the application form entry information and the card entry information are linked. Specifically, it is possible to output a file in a form in which stroke data corresponding to the contents entered in the application form 3 and coordinate data of a unique dot pattern printed on the member card 4 are linked.

  The server 5 acquires entry information from the electronic pen 10 via the terminal device 25. The server 5 stores management information in which the member number for identifying the member card 4 and the coordinate data of the unique dot pattern printed on the member card 4 are associated with each other in the management information DB 6 in advance. The server 5 stores an application form coordinate table in which items constituting the application form 3 are associated with the coordinate data of the dot pattern printed on the application form 3 in advance.

  The server 5 having acquired the entry information first extracts the application form entry information and the card entry information from the entry information. By referring to the management information DB 6 based on the coordinate data included in the extracted card entry information, the server 5 can specify the membership number of the membership card 4 entered by the user. Further, by referring to the application form coordinate table and executing character recognition processing based on the extracted application form entry information, the contents entered by the user in the application form 3 can be acquired as text data. The character recognition process is executed by, for example, OCR (Optical Character Reader). Then, the server 5 stores text data corresponding to the contents entered in the application form 3 in the application information DB 7 as application information using the identified member number as a key. At this time, the server 5 sets an issuance flag for the membership card 4 and makes the membership card usable from that time. The issue flag is a flag indicating whether or not the membership card 4 can be used, and is managed by the server 5. In this way, the server 5 completes the application process.

  As described above, according to the present invention, when the application process is completed, both the contents entered in the application form 3 are stored in the application information DB 7 and the membership card 4 is issued and usable. Can be realized. In other words, the matching work between the application form 3 and the membership number during the application information registration work can be made efficient.

  Conventionally, in the amusement industry, where a membership card is required to be available immediately after the application process is completed, the membership card is issued for the time being, and only a flag indicating that it has been activated is used. For this reason, the storage of personal information and the like corresponding to the contents entered in the application form in the DB may be performed even after the completed application form arrives at the input department of a predetermined organization. That is, in the conventional operation, as in the present invention, storing the contents entered in the application form in the DB and issuing the membership card in a usable state are realized immediately after the application process is completed. It was difficult. On the other hand, according to the present invention, since the membership card is not made available before the entry contents are stored in the DB, the efficiency of the application process is improved and the user illegally uses the membership card 4. It can be prevented from being used.

  In the present embodiment, the member card 4 can be used after the text data corresponding to the entry contents is stored in the application information DB 7. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the server 5 can enter the data. The membership card 4 can be made available at any timing, such as when information is acquired or when text data corresponding to the content of entry is confirmed.

  In the present embodiment, the entry contents of the application form 3 are stored in the application information DB 7 as text data. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the application form entry is not performed without performing character recognition processing. The information may be converted into image data such as JPEG and stored in the application information DB 7.

  In the present embodiment, for the convenience of explaining the personal authentication process described later, the numeric keypad field 50 is provided on the member card 4. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the minimum condition for performing the application process is not limited thereto. As long as a unique dot pattern is printed on the member card 4. That is, in order to realize the application process, it is not always necessary to be in the numeric keypad field 50, and any design can be made as long as a unique dot pattern is printed on each member card 4.

  Next, an outline of the personal authentication process when using the membership card 4 will be described. A user who has completed the application process, that is, a member, needs to authenticate himself / herself using a personal identification number when using the member card 4. First, the member checks the password using the electronic pen 10 in the numeric keypad field 50 on the back of the membership card 4 issued at the time of application. Here, the personal identification number is set in advance between the member and a predetermined institution, and in the present embodiment, the personal identification number is entered in the application form 3 at the time of application. Therefore, in this embodiment, the password is stored in advance in the application information DB 7 as application information.

  As shown in FIG. 9B, the numeric keypad column 50 on the back side of the membership card 4 is composed of ten numeric items each corresponding to a single digit “0” to “9”. The member enters a check mark in the numeric keypad field 50 with the electronic pen 10 in accordance with a preset password. As described above, since the password is checked in the numeric keypad 50 every time the member card 4 is used, it is desirable that the electronic pen 10 that checks the numeric keypad 50 be out of ink. When the check on the numeric keypad 50 is completed, the electronic pen 10 transmits the stored entry information to the server 5 via the terminal device 25 by a predetermined operation of the member. Here, in order to distinguish from the entry information used for the application process, the entry information used for the personal authentication process is referred to as verification entry information. The collation entry information includes coordinate data of the checked numeric items, time information indicating the check time, and the like. That is, the terminal device 25 and the server 5 that have acquired the collation entry information can output the dot pattern coordinate data unique to each member card 4 and the information of the checked personal identification number as a file.

  In the present embodiment, the password is a four-digit number, but the present invention is not limited to this, and any symbol such as a number or a character can be applied.

  The server 5 acquires verification entry information from the electronic pen 10 via the terminal device 25. The server 5 manages management information in which a member number for identifying the member card 4 in advance, a numeric item constituting the numeric keypad field 50, and coordinate data of a unique dot pattern printed on the numeric keypad field 50 are associated. It is stored in the information DB 6.

  The server 5 that has obtained the collation entry information first specifies the member number of the member card 4 by referring to the management information DB 6 based on the coordinate data included in the collation entry information, and the number item checked by the member Is identified. Moreover, the server 5 specifies the order which checked the number item based on the time information contained in collation entry information. Furthermore, the server 5 specifies the password entered by the member based on the number items checked by the member and the order of checking. In this way, by considering both the number item checked by the member and the order of checking, even if the password is the same four-digit number such as “1111”, the server 5 accurately determines the password. Can be specified.

  In addition, the server 5 identifies a preset password by referring to the application information DB 7 based on the identified member number. Then, the server 5 performs personal authentication processing by comparing the personal identification number entered by the member with a personal identification number set in advance. Specifically, when the personal identification number entered by the member matches a personal identification number set in advance, the server 5 authenticates that the person using the membership card 4 is the member himself / herself. On the other hand, if they do not match, the server 5 does not authenticate that the person using the member card 4 is the member himself, and performs arbitrary processing such as stopping the use. As described above, in the personal authentication process when using the card, it is possible to efficiently collate the password by using the electronic pen card and the electronic pen 10 on which the dot pattern is printed.

  In the past, for example, in the amusement industry, when enjoying a service using a card (accumulation / payment of point data with high cash voucher characteristics, etc.), the member slashed the membership card to a magnetic card reader mounted on a specific terminal device. Later, a personal identification number was entered into the terminal device using a numeric keypad. Further, the system side permits the member to use the service after collating the personal identification number stored in the membership card with the personal identification number entered by the member using the numeric keypad. In such a conventional operation, there has been a problem of a load in that the member is forced to perform two operations of inputting a slash and a numeric keypad of the member card. Further, since the business entity needs a magnetic card reader and a numeric keypad input terminal, the cost burden has been a problem. On the other hand, in the processing system using the electronic pen card and the electronic pen 10 on which the dot pattern is printed as in the present invention, simple operability and required devices are reduced in the personal authentication process. It becomes possible. Further, by using the electronic pen 10 in both the application process at the time of card issuance and the personal authentication process at the time of card use, the efficiency can be further improved and the cost merit can be improved.
