Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
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, and can record predetermined items on the IC chip, and the card part of the form can be used as an invitation card for events / exhibitions or a membership card in the distribution industry. In addition, it relates to a form that can be used to send the card.
[0002]
[Prior art]
A card-integrated form that can be printed simultaneously with a printer has the advantage of reducing the so-called matching operation, which is a matching operation between the recipient and the card contents. However, if this is used for an invitation card, etc. Member data and visitor management is performed by reading the barcode number printed on the card with a barcode reader. Therefore, there is a problem that it is necessary to read each card one by one, which takes time.
In addition, since the amount of data that can be recorded with a bar code is limited, there is a problem that only a minimum amount of specific information can be read, and a large amount of personal information cannot be recorded on or added to the card itself.
[0003]
Therefore, it is conceivable that the amount of recorded information is greatly increased by manufacturing a card with a non-contact IC chip integrally with a normal form and recording predetermined items on the IC. As one of the prior arts related to such a technique, there is "IC card issuing system" in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-126238.
However, the IC card shown in FIG. 2 of the same publication has a structure in which an IC card in which resin sheets are laminated on the front and back sides is attached to an IC card issuing form so as to be peelable through an adhesive layer or the like. Since the IC card and the issuance form are separately manufactured in separate processes, there is a problem that the manufacturing cost increases.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Therefore, the present invention makes it possible to manufacture a card-integrated form with a non-contact IC chip efficiently and at low cost by integrally manufacturing a card with a non-contact IC chip on a business form. By recording a predetermined item, the amount of recorded information is remarkably increased, and the above-described reading work is further reduced.
In this specification, an “IC chip” refers to a semiconductor having an integrated control device and memory, and a “card with a non-contact IC chip” includes the “IC chip”. A card having an oscillation circuit capable of wireless communication with a reader / writer device or the like by contact. Generally, it is also referred to as “non-contact IC tag”, “RF-ID tag”, “non-contact IC card” or the like.
[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The gist of the present invention for solving the above-mentioned problems is a card-integrated foam in which a card with a non-contact IC chip is releasably held on a part of a foam paper base having a predetermined printing field. A card portion with a contact IC chip is composed of a three-layer laminate of a card paper base material composed of the foam paper base material and a two-layer thin plastic film in which the film is pseudo-adhered, and the card paper base material thin plastic film In the form in which the antenna pattern separated into two pieces is printed on the side surface with conductive ink, and the seal with the IC chip having the antenna pattern on the antenna itself is attached to the antenna pattern with an anisotropic conductive material . Card outline punched out from the card paper base side to the pseudo-adhesive layer that is the middle of the two thin plastic films A card-integrated foam with a non-contact IC chip, wherein the card with a non-contact IC chip is peeled off from the pseudo-adhesive layer by a half-cut wire, and can be detached from the foam. .
[0006]
In the above, decorative printing is performed on the IC chip side of the thin plastic film on the card paper base material side , whereby the seal with the IC chip is concealed . In addition, predetermined data related to an event or exhibition invitee or predetermined data related to a member or a trader can be recorded on the IC chip of the card with a non-contact IC chip.
[0007]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The card-integrated form with a non-contact IC chip of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a view showing a card-integrated form with a non-contact IC chip according to the present invention. 1 (A) is a surface view, and FIG. 1 (B), rear view thereof, FIG. 1 (C) is a cross sectional view of FIG. 1 (A). As shown in FIG. 1A, on the front side of the card-integrated form 1, there is an address mount 2 having a predetermined printing field 21 for delivery and a card 3 portion with a non-contact IC chip. The attached card portion is printed with predetermined items 31 such as a member number, name, expiration date of the card, and contact information of the club secretariat. However, these are not essential. In the figure, 4 is a half-cut punching line that defines the outer shape of the card, which is normally a rectangular shape of about 54.0 × 85.5 mm, which is the standard shape of the card, but is limited to a rectangular shape. It is not something. In the present invention, the surface side of the foam may be any surface, but for the sake of convenience, the paper substrate surface side on which the half-cut punching line is punched is expressed as the surface side. .
[0008]
As shown in FIG. 1B, a thin plastic film 5 is attached to the card portion with a non-contact IC chip on the back side of the foam. The thin plastic film is composed of a laminate of two layers bonded with 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 shown by a dotted line means that the punching line has not penetrated to this surface.
In an actual card with a non-contact IC chip, since the surface on the back side of the foam is the practical surface side of the card, it is normal that beautiful decorative printing of the card is performed on the surface. In order to avoid overlap with the antenna pattern described later, this decorative printing is preferably performed on the plastic film surface rather than printing on the foam paper substrate 1b. In an empty space portion other than the card 3 with a non-contact IC chip on the mount form, an explanation column 9 such as an event or exhibition guide or a member's terms can be provided.
[0009]
As shown in FIG. 1C, the base material of the card 3 with the non-contact IC chip is an integrated paper base material 1b connected to the foam paper, and is a laminate of base materials made of materials different from the foam paper. Absent.
In the foam of the present invention, since the integrated base material connected to the foam sheet is used for the card with the non-contact IC chip, the cost can be reduced.
The half-cut four lines punched from the card paper base material side are punched to a depth just to reach the pseudo-adhesive layer 6 that is intermediate between the two layers of the plastic films 5a and 5b, and thus penetrate the entire plastic film 5b. There is nothing.
FIG. 1C is an enlarged view of the scale in the vertical direction (the thickness direction of the foam), and is disassembled. Antenna patterns 3a and 3b are printed on the 5th surface side, and a seal 7 with an IC chip is attached to the antenna patterns 3a and 3b.
The antenna patterns 3a and 3b are usually printed with conductive printing ink using carbon, aluminum, silver paste, or a mixture thereof.
[0010]
The IC chip seal 7 is a state in which an IC chip 8 having an IC (integrated circuit) and a memory provided on a silicon substrate is tack-sealed so that it can be mounted on the antenna patterns 3a and 3b of the card 3 with a non-contact IC chip. In general, the seal seal 7 with IC chip itself also has small antenna portions 7a and 7b connected to the IC chip 8.
As this type of seal with an IC chip, a product that has been commercialized, specifically, an interposer type for “Bistatix” manufactured by Motorola can be used.
[0011]
The small antenna pattern of the IC chip seal 7 is also printed with conductive ink. Although not shown in FIG. 1C, the IC chip 8 protrudes from the chip or is formed with two planar bumps so as to be electrically connected to both antenna patterns 7a and 7b. It is connected to the. In order to align the antenna patterns 7a and 7b with the antenna patterns 3a and 3b of the card 3 with the non-contact IC chip and to make them conductive, the adhesive 7c interposed between the antenna patterns is conductive. It is required to be a material. In particular, the pressure-sensitive adhesive 7c is preferably an anisotropic conductive adhesive that conducts only in a direction perpendicular to the surfaces of the antenna patterns 3a, 3b, 7a, and 7b. Plastic film 5a and the non-contact IC chip card with 3 antenna pattern 3a, adhesives 5 d between 3b is a common adhesives can be used, it is not necessary to consider the electrical conductivity and the like.
[0012]
FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating 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 IC chip are attached so as to overlap the antenna patterns 3a and 3b.
The antenna patterns 3a and 3b are not limited to two separated patterns, and may be coiled winding patterns. In the case of a coiled winding pattern, it is formed so that the connecting terminal portions at both ends of the winding pattern are close to each other, and the antenna patterns 7a and 7b of the seal 7 with IC chip are connected to the connecting terminal portion. To wear. The antenna patterns 3a and 3b are not limited to the rectangular shape as shown in the figure when printing on two separate patterns, and may be a separated circular shape, an elliptical shape, a triangular shape, or the like. Any shape may be used. The antenna patterns 7a and 7b are not limited to a triangular shape as shown.
[0013]
<Embodiment related to material>
In the above, (1) Art paper, coated paper, high quality paper, cast coated paper, card paper, etc. can be used as the paper base 1b of the foam paper. It is preferable that a treatment for increasing the insulation between the antenna patterns 3a and 3b and the water resistance is performed, and it is preferable to perform a partial treatment (insulation treatment printing) on the lower surface before printing the antenna pattern. Alternatively, the base material 1b may be a synthetic paper having printability.
(2) Although the same base material can be used for the base material 7B of the seal 7 with an IC chip, it may be a plastic film and preferably has an insulating property.
[0014]
(3) The technique of pseudo-bonding a plastic film is a technique commonly used in concealment postcards and the like. As said plastic film 5a, 5b, the thing of a material with low adhesiveness is generally used, for example, a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polyethylene (PE), a polypropylene (PP) and PE, a polybutylene terephthalate ( PBT) and PE, PET and PP, PET and PET, PBT and PP, and combinations of olefin resins and ester resins.
The pseudo-adhesion layer 6 between the films 5a and 5b is formed by, for example, extrusion coating a resin of the same material as that of one film, for example, PE, between the PET (or PE) film 5a and the PE (or PET) film 5b. The films 5a and 5b can be laminated. In other words, by applying one film and an adhesive resin in a molten state between films having low adhesiveness to each other, a pseudo adhesive state between the molten resin and the other film having low adhesiveness Can be formed.
[0015]
Such a card-integrated foam with a non-contact IC chip is manufactured as follows.
First, (1) printing on a predetermined form on the address mount or the card surface on the continuous form paper, and 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 IC chip-attached seal is attached. Printing in (1) and (2) can be performed inline.
(3) The seal 7 with an IC chip prepared in advance is correctly aligned with the antenna patterns 3a and 3b and attached.
(4) On the other hand, decorative printing of the card is performed on the inner surface of the plastic film 5a (the surface of the seal 7 with the IC chip), and another plastic film 5b is pseudo-bonded to the non-printing surface of the film. The adhesive 5d is applied and prepared.
By applying decorative printing to the inner surface side of the plastic film 5a which also serves as a protective layer of the card, the antenna patterns 3a and 3b and the seal 7 with the IC chip can be concealed (see FIG. 1C).
[0016]
(5) A two-layer plastic film with an adhesive 5d is further bonded to the surface to which the IC chip-attached seal 7 is attached. The adhesive 5d may be a hot-melt adhesive, and in this case, a two-layer plastic film can be attached to a foam mount while applying heat pressure.
(6) The half-cut punching line 4 is inserted into the outer shape of the card 3 so that the depth is exactly the depth up to the pseudo-adhesive layer 6, and the card-integrated form 1 with a non-contact IC chip is completed. .
[0017]
Next, a method for using the card-integrated foam with a non-contact IC chip of the present invention will be described.
FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram of a method of using the card-integrated form with a non-contact IC chip. FIG. 3 (A) shows the completed card-integrated form 1 with a non-contact IC chip, which is formed in a continuous form that is spell-folded. The decorative printing on the front side of the card with the non-contact IC chip, the printing of the fixed item column, etc. have already been made, the pseudo adhesive film is adhered, and the half-cut punching line 4 is already provided.
First, an individual item such as name and address is printed on the surface of the address mount 2 and the card 3 with a non-contact IC chip on the surface of the form 1 using a continuous printer, and the IC chip of the card 3 with a non-contact IC chip. Write data to 8.
The content recorded in the memory of the IC chip 8 is predetermined data relating to the inviter if the form is an invitation to an event or an exhibition, and predetermined information relating to a member or a trader if the form is a sending card such as a membership card. Data is recorded.
Next, the marginal holes 1h on both sides of the foam are cut out from the perforation line 1m to form a sheet (FIG. 3 (B)) and inserted into the window opening envelope 10 together with the enclosed items (guides etc.). Send to. The printed address and the like can be seen from the window portion 10m of the window envelope 10 (FIG. 3C).
[0018]
The user who receives the card peels off the card 3 with the non-contact IC chip from the form mount and brings the card 3 to the event opening or exhibition (FIG. 3D).
After removing the card 3 with the non-contact IC chip on the foam mount, only one layer of plastic film (for example, PET film) remains on the mount.
[0019]
Since the reader / writer can read the data recorded on the IC chip simply by lowering the card 3 with the non-contact IC chip to the neck and passing through the gate equipped with the reader / writer, the admission registration can be easily performed. Waiting time is reduced.
In addition, since the information such as the entry time and the booth where the user stopped are recorded in the memory of the card, it can be read and investigated later, which is also advantageous for companies on the exhibition booth side.
When using it as a membership card or transaction card, remove the card from the form mount and bring it to the store in the same way. You can also add to the card itself. Therefore, it is possible to save the trouble of sequentially storing information in the database.
[0020]
In addition, since the data processing performed after the cards are collected can be performed without contact with the reader / writer, there is no need to perform a reading operation for each card, and a collection of stacked cards (stacked state) ) Can be collectively read. When each card responds to the reader / writer at the same time, data collision (collision) may occur, but various methods for sequentially reading data while avoiding the collision have been developed.
Sequential reading 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 becomes very remarkable.
[0021]
FIG. 4 shows the use method, but shows a cross-sectional state.
4A shows a state before the card 3 with the non-contact IC chip is peeled off from the foam mount, and FIG. 4B shows a state after the card 3 with the 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 sheet after peeling, but since one plastic film 5a remains on the surface side of the card 3, it can serve as a protective layer for the card.
[0022]
【Effect of the invention】
As described above, the card-integrated foam with a non-contact IC chip of the present invention has the following remarkable effects.
(1) Since the address mount and the card with the non-contact IC chip are on the same form mount and are printed at the same time, the contents of the addressee and the card will not be inconsistent.
(2) Since the amount of information recorded on the IC chip is remarkably increased as compared with a conventional bar code or a magnetic card, necessary information can be recorded without shortage. In addition, additional information can be recorded as needed. Subsequent information processing is also easy.
(3) Since the address mount and the card with the non-contact IC chip are formed from the same base material, the cost can be reduced.
