Description

  The present invention relates to an information input terminal device, a concealed data content confirmation method, and a program, and more particularly, to an information input terminal device, a concealed data content confirmation method, and a program for preventing omission of confirmation of information displayed on a screen.

  In recent years, an e-government that digitizes processing using a computer system has made it possible to apply on a computer (electronic application). With this electronic application, various administrative procedures such as resident registration are possible. By doing so, administrative management is simplified, efficient, and transparent.

As an advantage of electronic application, by processing the application contents electronically, it is possible to perform not only main business processing but also various business processing associated therewith in cooperation.
For example, when a usage fee is generated by making an electronic application, the payment procedure for the usage fee can be handled by the main business, that is, by linking with other computer systems such as a credit card processing system and a bank deposit processing system. It can be processed at the same time as the application.

  However, this electronic application is often performed by an individual who performs various administrative procedures using a PC (personal computer) at home or the like, and an individual who does not own a PC, an elderly person or a child who is not used to handling a PC. Has a problem that it is difficult to use.

In order to disseminate electronic applications, it is necessary to eliminate such a so-called digital divide (information inequality) and make a system that anyone can use electronic applications.
Therefore, the government and local governments are introducing a system that accepts applications in paper documents and can apply electronically as usual as part of the countermeasures. An example of the electronic application procedure in this paper document will be described with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 17 shows an application form for using a physical education facility, which is an example of a paper document for making an electronic application. This application form for gymnasium use (hereinafter referred to as application form) is a document to be submitted to the gymnasium manager when you want to use various gym equipment and equipment provided in the gymnasium. In addition to the usage fee, a column for entering the usage fee payment method and details of the payment method is provided.

  FIG. 18 is a diagram showing an example of filling in the application form shown in FIG. Although the payment method in the example shown in FIG. 18 is credit card payment, it is also possible to use withdrawal from a bank account and a postal savings account, so that an application can be made without bringing cash. .

  First, the user applicant or user representative applicant (hereinafter referred to as the “applicant”) receives the application form shown in FIG. 17 at the office, etc., and fills in the necessary items as shown in the example shown in FIG. To do.

FIG. 19 is a diagram showing an external view of an electronic application terminal device for electronic application. The applicant inserts the completed application form into the application form insertion port 13 of the electronic application terminal device 10 shown in FIG. 19 and causes the electronic application terminal apparatus 10 to read the application form. The image data is displayed on the touch panel 11 in the same format as the application form shown in FIG.
The applicant confirms that the application has been read correctly by displaying on the touch panel 11, and if the content is incorrect, inputs the correction content using the keyboard 15. If the content is correct, the application is displayed on the touch panel 11. A button for determining execution is touched with the touch pen 12. When a button for determining application execution is touched, the electronic application terminal device 10 communicates with a host computer or the like to perform electronic application processing. When the facility desired to be used is reserved, a physical facility use reservation confirmation document, which is a certificate indicating that the reservation shown in FIG.

Facility users bring this reservation confirmation on the day they use the facility, etc., submit it to the facility window, etc., and actually use the facility.
By applying according to the above procedure, an individual who does not own a PC, or an elderly person or a child who is not used to handling a PC, can make an electronic application in writing.

However, in the above electronic application procedure, when personal information such as name and address is communicated from the electronic application terminal device 10 to the host computer or the like, the third party may tamper with or eavesdrop on the transmitted data. In addition, personal information may be leaked by a so-called shoulder hack or the like that is directly stolen or written down from the screen on which the personal information is displayed.
As described above, the electronic application has a merit that the payment procedure can be processed simultaneously with the main business, but has a demerit that important personal information such as a credit card number may be known to a third party.

To solve this problem, there is an electronic application system that encrypts application document data and detects tampering when transmitting application document data from a terminal device for electronic application to a host computer or server via the Internet. It is known (see Patent Document 1).
With this electronic application system, electronic application procedures can be performed without leaking personal information such as credit card numbers when sending application document data via the Internet.

  However, this electronic application system has a problem that information leakage due to the shoulder hack described above cannot be prevented.

  In order to solve this problem, the applicant will first display the items corresponding to the personal information in the application form in a hidden form (concealed) and display them on the terminal device for electronic application so that they will not be exposed to others' eyes. Thus, when a person who confirms the information confirms the contents of the portion that has been turned over, an information input terminal device that prevents leakage of personal information due to a shoulder hack or the like is displayed by canceling the display of the turned over processing Proposed (see Patent Document 2).

However, in this information input terminal device, it is necessary for the person who confirms to actively select the item to be confirmed by himself / herself, so there is a possibility that the user forgets to select the confirmation item, that is, forgets to confirm. As a result, if there is an error in the contents of important items, there is a risk that the electronic application will not be made normally.
Further, when there are many confirmation items, there is a problem that if the applicant selects and confirms all the confirmation items, this confirmation work becomes a burden on the applicant.

(2) Confirmation of contents and application processing of concealed application forms in the terminal device for electronic application,
Will be described in order.

(1) Registration of the application concealment area in the electronic application terminal device In the form column of the application form, the item name has already been printed, that is, “use facility name” and “number of facilities” shown in FIG. A field in which an item name is printed cannot be used as a hidden area. Therefore, when registering the concealment area, a field to be registered in the concealment area is designated out of the fields that can be used as the concealment area.
In the following cases, when the concealable fields of the application form are automatically detected and the detected fields are specified and registered as a concealed area, and the concealable fields of the application form are manually specified and registered Will be described separately.

First, the procedure for the concealment area registration process for automatically detecting concealable fields in the application form and specifying and registering the detected fields as concealment areas is shown in the flowchart shown in FIG. 3, FIG. 4 and FIG. It demonstrates using the example of the application displayed on the touch panel 11 of the terminal device 10 for electronic applications to show.
FIG. 4 shows a display example of the touch panel 11 in which the concealable column of the application form which is the image data read by the electronic application terminal device 10 is highlighted, and FIG. 5 shows the application form in which the concealment area is registered. It is a figure which shows the example of a display of the touch panel 11 which is displaying.

First, when the operator presses (touches) a button for starting the hidden area registration process on the touch panel 11 and then inserts the application form into the application form insertion slot 13, the electronic application terminal device 10 applies. The electronic reading of the document is started (S101).
Next, the electronic application terminal device 10 automatically detects the position information of the column that can be concealed from the positions of the ruled lines and characters of the application form read by the image reading device 106 (S102). The read data highlighting the concealable field is displayed on the touch panel 11 (see FIG. 4) (S103).
Note that, as shown in FIG. 4, the columns displayed with a thick frame are the automatically detected concealable columns.

Next, when the operator designates a field to be hidden on the touch panel 11 with the touch pen 12 or the like as a hidden area on the touch panel 11 (S104), the field designated by the image processing unit 304 is hidden, that is, processed. A concealment screen is displayed (S105).
After the operator designates the field to be hidden, the electronic application terminal device 10 determines whether or not the designation of the field to be hidden is all completed (S106). If all of the hidden display fields have not been designated (S106, NO), the operator designates other hidden display fields and repeats this operation until all hidden display fields are designated (S104). To S106).

When the designation of the concealment column is completed (S106, YES), the operator presses the “designation complete” button displayed at the bottom of the touch panel 11 shown in FIG. The position information of the area, that is, the partial information indicating the part to be processed is stored in the RAM 303 (see FIG. 1) serving as storage means (S107).
As shown in FIG. 5, here, it is specified that the use representative name, address, contact telephone number, usage fee payment method, credit card, bank withdrawal, and postal savings withdrawal items are hidden. .
When the concealed area is registered by the procedure described above and the applicant has applied for use, as described later, the position information of the concealed area is used in the field of important items for security such as personal information protection items. Apply the concealment process, etc., and display the application screen.

Next, the flowchart of FIG. 6 shows the procedure of the hidden area registration process when the operator arbitrarily designates the area to be hidden. The touch panel 11 displays the application read by the electronic application terminal device 10 shown in FIG. A display example will be described with reference to FIG.
First, the operator presses a button for starting the designation of the hidden area, and then inserts the application form into the application form insertion slot 13. The electronic application terminal device 10 starts electronic reading of the application (S201).
The electronic application terminal device 10 displays the application form read in step S201 (see FIG. 7) (S202).

Next, the operator presses an “area designation start” button among a plurality of buttons displayed at the bottom of the touch panel 11 shown in FIG. 7, and designates an area to be hidden (S203). The area to be concealed is specified by pressing the four corners of the area to be concealed with the touch pen 12 as shown in FIG.
When a “region specification end” button is pressed among the plurality of buttons displayed at the bottom of the touch panel 11 shown in FIG. 7, the image processing unit 304 performs concealment processing on the concealment region as shown in FIG. 8B. The concealment screen is displayed (S204).

Subsequently, the operator looks at the state concealed in step S204, that is, the state shown in FIG. 8B, and checks the concealment degree (S205). If there is a defect such as not being concealed (S205, NO), the “area designation start” button on the touch panel 11 shown in FIG. 7 is pressed again to restore the area designated area and specify the hidden area. And the confirmation is redone (S203 to S205).
When there is no defect in the concealment state (S205, YES) and all the area designations are not completed (S206, NO), that is, when the concealment area is designated in addition, “next designation” on the touch panel 11 shown in FIG. ”Button is pressed to repeatedly specify and confirm the concealment area (S203 to S206).

  When the area designation work is completed (S206, YES), the “designation complete” button is pressed among the buttons displayed at the bottom of the touch panel 11 shown in FIG. 7, and the position information of the designated area, that is, processing is performed. Partial information indicating a portion to be applied is stored in the RAM 303 serving as storage means (S207).

  As explained above, when the electronic application terminal device 10 reads the application form, it is possible to specify the important personal information item fields to be hidden and displayed. When the applicant applies, Since information can be concealed, leakage of personal information due to peeping on the electronic application screen can be prevented.

Further, in the present embodiment, as described above, the partial information of the item (hidden area) to be hidden and displayed is stored, and when the application form is displayed, the hidden display is performed based on the partial information. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and a predetermined character code may be registered in the RAM 303 in advance, and concealed and displayed based on the registered character code.
For example, when the electronic application terminal device 10 determines that the registered character code is the same as the character code of the character read from the application, it is adjacent to a predetermined position, for example, the position where the character code is described. The inside of the frame is hidden and displayed.
That is, when the electronic application terminal device 10 reads the application form shown in FIG. 18 when the character of the registered character code is “address”, by reading the character of the “address” item, The inside of the frame adjacent to the “address” item is concealed and displayed.

If the registered character code is a single character, such as a name, even though there is an “address” item in the application form, There is a possibility that the predetermined position may be concealed even when the name of the applicant entered in the field corresponding to the item includes the word “resident”.
In such a case, by registering the position information of the position where the character code is read together with the character code, the predetermined position can be concealed without error.
For example, if the character code “resident” and the position information of the position where the character code is read are registered, the character code of the character read from the application form is the same as the registered character code, and the registered position information (for example, “ When the same character code as the registered character code is present at the position indicated by the “location information where the address” item may exist), inside the frame adjacent to the predetermined position, for example, the position where the character code is described Etc. are concealed and displayed.

(2) Content confirmation and application processing of the concealed application form in the electronic application terminal device Next, in the electronic application terminal device 10, confirmation and application of the content of the application form displayed with the predetermined column concealed Processing will be described.
FIG. 9 is a diagram showing the touch panel 11 on which an application form read by the electronic application terminal device 10 is displayed.
In the illustrated example, the name of the representative of the user, the address, the contact telephone number, the usage fee payment method, the card number, the expiration date, and the name written on the card are obtained by the concealment area registration processing described in the flowchart shown in FIG. It is hidden and displayed.
However, in the state where the personal information is concealed as shown in the figure, it cannot be confirmed whether the electronic application terminal device 10 has read the application form normally.
Therefore, in the present embodiment, by pressing the concealed portion of the item of personal information (hereinafter referred to as confirmation item) that the applicant wants to confirm displayed on the touch panel 11, the applicant is prompted to confirm the concealed area. The confirmation data, here the data that has been removed from the concealment, is displayed so that the applicant can confirm the contents of the concealment part.

FIG. 10 is a diagram showing the touch panel 11 displayed by releasing a part of the concealed portion of the application form displayed on the touch panel 11 shown in FIG.
Here, among the plurality of confirmation items, the concealed portion of the card number column of the credit card is pressed by the applicant, and the concealment is released and displayed at the bottom of the touch panel 11.

In the example shown in the figure, confirmation data for prompting the applicant to confirm the concealed area, that is, data that has been deconcealed is displayed at the bottom of the touch panel 11. What is necessary is just to display in the suitable position where the information of the concealment part on the touch panel 11 is hard to leak according to the direction of the screen of the terminal device 10, and the position where another person exists.
For example, in the environment where the electronic application terminal device 10 is placed in a private room and only the applicant can enter the private room, it is not necessary to pay attention to surrounding human eyes. It is not necessary to display at the lowermost part of the touch panel 11, and the concealment is released and displayed at the initial position on the touch panel 11.

The applicant presses and confirms all the personal information protection items that are hidden and displayed on the touch panel 11, and then confirms “OK”, which is an instruction input means for inputting a confirmation instruction displayed at the bottom of the touch panel 11. ”Button is pressed to input to the electronic application terminal device 10 that all items have been confirmed.
At this time, in order to prevent the applicant from forgetting to select a confirmation item, the electronic application terminal device 19 of the present embodiment is not selected by the user when there is a confirmation item not selected by the user. A display to the effect that the concealment area is present, that is, the blinking image data in the item column of the confirmation item is displayed here, and processing for prompting the applicant to confirm is performed.

FIG. 11 is a diagram showing a display example of a touch panel in which item fields of confirmation items that are not selected by the applicant are displayed blinking.
As shown in the figure, among the plurality of confirmation items, the “contact phone number” and “expiration date” item fields are displayed blinking.
When the applicant confirms all of the confirmation items blinked and presses a “confirmation OK” button, the electronic application terminal device 10 communicates with, for example, a host computer or the like to execute a reservation job. Start processing (electronic application processing).

  In the blinking display process, the CPU 101 shown in FIG. 1 determines a confirmation item that has not been selected based on position information between an item already selected by the applicant and another item to be confirmed, and the image processing unit 304. Is executed by creating a blinking display image and controlling and displaying the display device control unit 203 and the display device 103.

FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing a procedure for the applicant to confirm concealment of the concealed item using the electronic application terminal device 10.
First, the applicant presses and selects an item whose contents are to be confirmed, that is, a hidden item column on the touch panel 11 (S301). On the touch panel 11, as shown in FIG. 10, the item selected by the applicant is uncovered and displayed, and the applicant confirms the displayed content (S302).

Is started electronically (S401).
The electronic application terminal device 10 displays the read application (S402), and when the applicant selects a confirmation item that is concealed, the content of the confirmation item is released and displayed (S403).

When the applicant confirms the content of the confirmation item displayed after the concealment is released, determines that correction is necessary (S404, YES), and presses the “content correction” button shown in FIG. The terminal device 10 performs a correction work operation (S405).
When it is not necessary to modify the contents of the confirmation item displayed after the concealment is canceled (S404, NO), or after performing the correction work operation in step S405, the applicant clicks the “confirmation OK” button shown in FIG. When pressed, the electronic application terminal device 10 determines whether there is an unselected item among the confirmation items, that is, whether there is an unconfirmed item (S406).

When it is determined that there is an unconfirmed item (YES in S406), the electronic application terminal device 10 blinks the item field of the unconfirmed item and displays a screen for instructing the applicant shown in FIG. If the applicant selects an unconfirmed item (S407), the contents of the selected confirmation item are displayed (S403).
On the other hand, when it is determined that there is no unconfirmed item (NO in S406), the electronic application terminal device 10 communicates with the use reservation server 2001 shown in FIG. 2 and performs a reservation operation (S408). That is, the electronic application terminal device 10 transmits application form data to the use reservation server 2001 and receives the reservation result from the use reservation server 2001.

  When the reservation result received by the reservation operation is not possible to make a reservation (S409, NO), the electronic application terminal device 10 displays that the reservation is impossible, that is, displays a reservation impossible screen on the touch panel 11. (S410).

When the reservation result received by the above reservation operation is available for reservation (S409, YES), the electronic application terminal device 10 displays the reservation content on the touch panel 11 together with the fact that the reservation is possible. A confirmation screen is displayed (S411).
Thereafter, the electronic application terminal device 10 prints a use reservation confirmation document describing the reservation contents and the like (S412).

  As described above, when there is a confirmation item that the applicant has not selected, the electronic application terminal device 10 blinks the item column to prompt confirmation, and forgets to select a confirmation item. Can be prevented, and electronic application can be made normally.

Next, another concealed data content confirmation method using the electronic application terminal device 10 will be described.
The electronic application terminal device 10 applies the selection of the content of the minimum necessary confirmation items among the concealed confirmation items registered and concealed in the concealment area registration process described in the flowcharts shown in FIGS. 3 and 6. In order to prevent the user from forgetting, for each confirmation item, degree information indicating the degree of necessity for confirmation is stored in advance in the RAM 303 in association with the position information of each confirmation item, and the confirmation item not selected by the applicant is stored. The highlighted blinking image data is displayed on an arbitrary predetermined confirmation item, that is, a confirmation item in which the degree information having a high degree of confirmation is set, and prompts the applicant to confirm.

For example, in the display example of the touch panel 11 that blinks and displays the item field of the confirmation item that is not selected by the applicant as shown in FIG. 11, the items “contact phone number” and “expiration date” If the item is not selected by the user and the item of “expiration date” is set to the item to be confirmed at least, that is, the item requiring a high degree of confirmation, the “contact phone number” flashes, The “expiration date” is highlighted and blinked (blinking that is emphasized more than the blinking of the “Contact” item) to indicate that it has not been confirmed.
The minimum items to be confirmed, that is, the confirmation items for which the above-described degree information with a high degree of confirmation is set, are the input device 102 shown in FIG. The degree information is set in advance and stored in the RAM 303. When the CPU 301 determines that the item to be checked at least is not selected, the CPU 301 transmits a command to the display device 103 via the display device control unit 203, and image data corresponding to the degree information is transmitted to the item. Here, highlighted blinking image data is displayed.

FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing a procedure for an applicant to confirm a concealed item using the electronic application terminal device 10.
First, the applicant presses and selects an item whose contents are to be confirmed, that is, a hidden item column on the touch panel 11 (S501). On the touch panel 11, as shown in FIG. 10, the item selected by the applicant is uncovered and displayed, and the applicant confirms the displayed content (S502).

Next, the applicant confirms whether or not the content of the item displayed with the concealment is canceled (S503). If the content is incorrect (S503, NO), the applicant confirms the correctness of the touch panel 11 shown in FIG. The content is corrected by pressing the “content correction” button displayed at the bottom (S504).
Subsequently, when the confirmation of other concealed items has not been completed (S505, NO), the applicant selects the item to be confirmed again (S501).
When the confirmation of the item to be confirmed is completed (S505, YES), the applicant presses a “confirmation OK” button displayed on the touch panel 11 shown in FIG. 10 (S506).
