BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a ticket tag with verification information, and more particularly, to a ticket tag with verification information that is difficult to recognize without making the user aware of the verification information portion.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Countermeasures against counterfeiting of securities, which has been a problem with securities, identification cards, etc., due to the widespread use of cards such as telephone cards, credit cards and prebate cards, and the use of commuter passes and various tickets as magnetic cards. It is requested. In particular, in recent years, with the development of copying technology, this has often been abused for counterfeiting tickets such as tickets and admission tickets.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Conventionally, special information such as magnetic information embedded in ticket tags, special ink, hidden characters with fluorescent materials, and watermarks has been tried to prevent these counterfeits. Regarding the bill, it was difficult to avoid an increase in cost due to the complicated manufacturing process. Moreover, since it was easy to recognize that the verification information was formed from the appearance of the ticket tag, it was difficult to reliably prevent forgery. In addition, in order to facilitate the recognition of verification information by the parties, the color or pattern of the ticket tag (such as when the pattern is formed in a gradation pattern as verification information on the entire print surface (front surface) or in the entrance ticket of a ski resort, etc. In some cases, the effective date and the type of ticket (such as a one-day ticket, half-day ticket, and time-limited ticket) may be determined by the shape of a square, triangle, or circle. There was a problem that affected.
[0004]
While the present invention is inexpensive and can easily form verification information, it does not make a person other than the party (such as a user) aware of the verification information part or make it unnoticeable as verification information. The purpose is to get a tag.
[0005]
The invention according to claim 1 is the ticket tag having the verification information, wherein the verification information is formed by dividing the verification information on an opposite side or an adjacent edge of the ticket tag, and the opposite side Alternatively, the verification information can be recognized by associating the adjacent edge portions with each other.
[0006]
According to the second aspect of the present invention, in the ticket tag having the verification information, the verification information is divided and formed in an aspect that cannot be recognized as the verification information at the opposite edge or the adjacent edge of the ticket tag. In addition, the verification information can be recognized by associating the opposite sides or the adjacent side edges.
[0009]
According to these inventions, it is possible to form the verification information easily and inexpensively because the design and the shape of the edge are used as the verification information, and the aspect cannot be recognized as the verification information on the opposite edge or the adjacent edge. Verification information that is difficult to recognize as verification information because it is formed without dividing the billboard surface, and without making the user aware of it as verification information. You can get a ticket tag.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of a ticket tag with verification information according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0011]
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a ticket 10 showing a ticket tag with verification information formed as a pattern in which verification information is printed on the edge of the ticket tag according to the first embodiment of the present invention.
[0012]
As shown in FIG. 1, the ticket 10 has arbitrary predetermined information printed at the center, and a character print 13 of “ticket” is given as an example. Also, symbols 15a and 15b as verification information are printed on the print surface of the ticket 10. The symbols 15a and 15b are divided at arbitrary division positions as shown in FIG. 1, and are arranged in contact with the edges of the left and right sides of the ticket 10 at the division positions. The symbols 15a and 15b are printed with a small width with respect to the longitudinal direction of the ticket 10. Furthermore, symbols 16a and 16b are printed on the print surface of the ticket 10 as other verification information. As shown in FIG. 1, the symbols 16 a and 16 b are divided at arbitrary division positions, arranged in contact with the edges of the top and bottom sides of the ticket 10 at the division positions, and are printed small in the width direction of the ticket 10. .
[0013]
The operation of the ticket 10 configured as described above will be described below.
[0014]
In FIG. 1, the ticket 10 has symbols 15a and 15b that are difficult to read by itself. Here, as shown in FIG. 2, when the ticket 10 is bent to the front side and the edges of the opposite sides to which the symbols 15a and 15b are applied are attached to each other, the divided symbols 15a and 15b become symbols 15 ( "Verification information"). That is, the symbol 15a and the symbol 15b, which are divided and arranged so as to be difficult to interpret, are associated with each other for the first time. FIG. 3 shows an example in which the ticket 10 is bent on the front side and the edges of the phosphorus sides of the symbols 15b and 16b are attached to each other. Also in this case, symbols 15b and 16b can be recognized as symbol 17 ("verification information").
[0015]
By combining these symbols, it is possible to verify the misalignment of the symbols and the printing misalignment, and to determine the authenticity based on the presence or absence of the misalignment.
[0016]
Since the design as the verification information is printed by the ticket 10 described above, it can be easily formed at a low cost. In addition, since the verification information is formed small on the opposite or adjacent edge and divided into forms that cannot be recognized as verification information, the person other than the party does not affect the design of the surface of the ticket tag. However, it is difficult to recognize the verification information while only the parties can recognize the verification information.
[0017]
FIG. 4 shows a perspective view of a ticket 20 according to the second embodiment of the present invention. This ticket 20 shows an example in which symbols 18a and 18b as verification information are printed on both the printing surface (front surface) and the printing opposite surface (back surface). The symbols 18a and 18b are divided at arbitrary division positions, and are arranged on both the printing surface and the printing opposite surface so as to be in contact with the edges of the opposite sides at the division position. In addition, the symbols 18 a and 18 b are printed small with respect to the longitudinal direction of the ticket 20. When verifying the verification information of the ticket 20, the ticket 20 is twisted in the width direction and bent, and the edges of the opposite sides of the pattern 18a disposed on the printing surface and the pattern 18b disposed on the printing opposite surface are attached to each other. By combining them, it can be recognized as the symbol 18 (“verification information”). Therefore, similar to the ticket 10 described above, it can be manufactured inexpensively and easily, and the verification information is formed small at the edge without affecting the design of the ticket tag, and divided into forms that cannot be recognized as verification information. Therefore, it is possible to obtain a ticket 20 that does not make the person other than the party aware of the verification information, and thus is difficult to recognize, while allowing only the party to recognize the verification information.
[0018]
Next, FIG. 5 is a perspective view of an admission ticket 30 showing a ticket tag with verification information in which the verification information is formed as the shape of the edge of the ticket tag according to the third embodiment of the present invention.
[0019]
In FIG. 5, this admission ticket 30 is formed by a waveform 31 as the verification information in the shape of the edge . In the admission ticket 30, a character print 33 of “admission ticket” is given at the center as an example of arbitrary predetermined information. As shown in FIG. 5, the waveform 31 is formed on at least one side of the admission ticket 30. In addition, the waveform 31 is alternately formed by peaks 31a and valleys 31b and is formed as the shape of the edge itself, and the height of the peaks 31a and valleys 31b (the length from the ridge line to the valley bottom line). The length L) is slightly smaller than the length of the side of the admission ticket 30. Moreover, the shape of the peak part 31a and the valley part 31b is not the same, respectively, and the ridge line of the peak part 31a and the valley line of the valley part 31b are formed so as to be different from each other. Regardless of the size of the admission ticket 30, the mountain portions 31a and the valley portions 31b are formed in a predetermined number, and in the admission ticket 30 shown in FIG.
[0020]
The operation of the admission ticket 30 configured as described above will be described below.
[0021]
In FIG. 5, the waveform 31 formed on the admission ticket 30 is that the height L of the peak portion 31 a and the valley portion 31 b is formed to be slightly smaller than the length of the side of the admission ticket 30. The waveform 31 can be determined only by the design of the admission ticket 30 for those who are.
[0022]
The admission ticket 30 described above, it is possible to inexpensively and easily manufactured because it uses the ticket tag edge shape as the verification information, also, the verification information, small edges aspect that can not be recognized as the verification information Since it is formed, it does not affect the design of the surface of the ticket tag, and it is not recognized as verification information by anyone other than the party, so it is difficult to recognize, while only the party can recognize the verification information. .
[0023]
Here, in the admission ticket 30 mentioned above, if a plurality of admission tickets 30 are bundled and the shape of the edge on which the waveform 31 is formed is seen, a counterfeited ticket tag is detected early from among the plural admission tickets 30. It is possible.
[0024]
Next, FIG. 6 shows a perspective view of an admission ticket 40 according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention. In the admission ticket 30 described above, the edge shape of the ticket tag is formed by using the waveform 31 as the verification information. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and characters and numbers as the verification information such as the character information 41 of the admission ticket 40 are used. May be cut out in the shape and formed at the edge . As an example, the character information 41 is obtained by dividing the shape of the numeral “1234” at an arbitrary division position, and abuts the edges of the opposite sides of the admission ticket 40 at the division position as shown in FIG. The cutout portion 41a is formed as the cutout portion 41b. The admission ticket 40 can also recognize the character information 41 as “1234” by bending the printed surface to the front side and attaching the edges of the opposite sides to which the notches 41a and 41b are applied.
[0025]
As described above, according to the tickets 10 and 20 and the admission tickets 30 and 40 to which the above-described verification information is applied, the design and the edge shape can be used as the verification information, so that it can be easily manufactured at low cost. Since the verification information is small and formed at the edge , it is difficult for a person other than the party to recognize the verification information, but only the party can recognize the verification information. In addition, since the verification information is formed small at the edges of the tickets 10 and 20 and the admission tickets 30 and 40, the verification information may overlap the character prints 13 and 33 which are arbitrary predetermined information printed at the center. Therefore, there is no problem in reading the character prints 13 and 33.
[0026]
The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and the tickets 10 and 20 and the admission tickets 30 and 40 may be made of film or synthetic paper. For example, a non-flexible one may be used.
[0027]
In addition, in the admission tickets 30 and 40, a reference mold formed facing the waveform 31 and the character information 41 is separately used, and the waveform 31 and the character information 41 are brought into contact with each other by contacting the waveform 31 and the character information 41. The verification can be easily performed from the deviation of the waveform of the information 41 and the waveform formed on the mold and the character information. In addition, the character information 41 may be divided and formed on the opposite side or the adjacent side of the admission ticket 40, and verification may be performed by attaching the opposite side or adjacent edge portions together.
[0028]
In addition, although the design as verification information according to the first or fourth embodiment has been described with printing, waveform, and character shape, Braille for visually handicapped persons combining points projected on the paper in a certain method, An encryption code such as a two-dimensional code may be divided and arranged based on the digital information recording method of the information recording medium. Here, the two-dimensional code is a code that greatly increases the amount of information compared to a conventional bar code. A stack type with a conventional bar code stacked vertically and bright and dark dots on the base. There is a matrix type formed.
[0029]
Furthermore, a discoloration layer composed of an ink that exhibits colorlessness at normal temperature and a blue color near body temperature, a hologram formation layer provided on the discoloration layer, formed on the surface with irregularities and formed in a transfer foil shape, and on the hologram formation layer Hologram pattern in which the hologram pattern is confirmed by the naked eye by irradiating white light to the hologram component layer, the main part of which is composed of the protective layer provided on the substrate, and the discoloration layer changes to blue when it is warmed A process in which a color change of the discoloration layer occurs may be arranged as verification information. In this case, for example, after the opposite sides or adjacent edge portions subjected to the processing are attached to each other, forgery is detected by verifying the color change of the hologram pattern and the color changing layer between the opposite sides or adjacent edge portions. It is possible.
[0030]
As described above, the verification information with ticket label according to the present invention can be inexpensive and readily manufactured since using a pattern or edge shape as the verification information, by forming the small edge A ticket with verification information formed so that it is difficult for a person other than the party to recognize the verification information without affecting the design of the surface of the ticket tag, while only the party can recognize the verification information. You can get a tag.
