  • the host computer/server 16 receives the data and collating the data with the data stored in the data base 18 (Step S9), executes a ticket purchasing step. If a desired ticket cannot be purchased, the host computer/server 16 sends a message stating it to the user terminal device 11 and the step returns to the service menu.
  • the host computer/server 16 If a ticket is purchasable, the host computer/server 16 outputs security data from the ticket issue request data and user identification data (Step S10), forms ticket image data from the ticket issue request data (Step S11), and makes ticket printing data by embedding the security data in the ticket image data in the invisible state (Step S12). When the security data is printed on a paper, the security data is visible. Further, the host computer/server 16 makes ticket display data based on the ticket printing data (Step S13) and transmits the ticket printing data and the ticket display data to the user terminal device 11 (Step S14). The detailed method for making security data, ticket printing data and ticket display data will be described later.
  • the ticket display data sent from the host computer/server 16 is displayed on the display of the user terminal device 11 (Step S15).

  • the security data 22 shown in FIG. 4 is generated from the user identification data and the ticket issue request data during the process in Step S10 show in FIG. 2. This security data 22 is used for the genuineness judgement to check whether a ticket was forged or altered. In this example, such data as a two-dimensional code data 39, a serial number for inquiring 40, a ticket issuer 41, a logo mark are printed on this ticket. Letters and figures are also expressed in binary image.
  • the two-dimensional code data 39 is printed for the automatic mechanical process when the security data 22 is read.
  • the kind of ticket 31, place 32, date and time 33, reserved seat number 34, charge 35, serial number 36, ticket issuer 36 and logo mark 38 were converted into two-dimensional codes and contained in this two-dimensional code data 39.

  • Two-dimensional code and binary image are called the basic security data.
  • the two-dimensional code 39 is printed on a ticket for the mechanical automatic process when the security data is read as mentioned above, and a kind of ticket, etc. are coded and included on the security data.
  • a kind of ticket, etc. are coded and included on the security data.
  • For two-dimensionally coded data it is possible to use not only a kind of ticket but also almost all kinds of forms such as voice, image, text, etc. including individual data such as pre-registered voiceprint and fingerprints of user and, managing data.
  • the digitized basic security data is converted into a binary image in two-dimensional code.
  • the basic security data is delimited into 4-bit blocks in order from the top and each block is replaced to a 2 ⁇ 2 pixel black and while binary image according to a value of each block as shown in FIG. 6.

  • the color difference modulation process is executed according to the rules of the following expressions (3-1)-(3-6).
  • three components of R(Red), G(Green) and B(Blue) are separately calculated.
  • An example of the color difference modulation result of the red component is shown in FIG. 14.
  • DESR(i), DESG(i) and DESG(I) are integers in the range of "0 ⁇ 255", respectively. If the result of calculation is below “0", they are set at "0" and above "255", they are set at "255".
  • red, green and blue color difference amount codes are reversed. Accordingly, in pixels containing much red components, green and blue components are less and in pixels containing less red components, other components are much contained.
  • Red and (Green, Blue) Cyan are complementary colors each other and even when red and cyan are adjacent to each other, they are hardly discriminated by the eyes of a man and looked as no color. Further, as red rich pixels and cyan rich pixels are arranged repeatedly in unit of several pixels according to key image data, this fine color difference cannot be identified by the eyes of man and a color difference amount is judged to be plus-minus "0".
  • the security data embedded in the invisible state in the ticket printing data may be easily exposed to a third person in some case.
  • Ticket display data that is made directly unusable is made by partially reducing the ticket printing data and breaking the ticket image data and the security data embedded in the invisible state.
  • the ticket printing data shown in FIG. 15 is cut in a 3 ⁇ 3 pixel area and is applied with the smoothing process. This is simply to take only an average and the result is as shown in FIG. 16. From the result of the smoothing process, leaving the pixel data at the top of the 4 ⁇ 4 pixel area, the remainder is erased (the thinning process). The result is as shown in FIG. 17. This data becomes the ticket display data.
  • amount of data is about 1/4 of the ticket printing data.
  • the print image resolution is generally 300 ⁇ 600 dpi but the image resolution of the display picture is about 100 dpi, which is 1/3-1/6 of the general print image resolution and therefore, there will be no problem.
  • the ticket display data is made by breaking the securing data by reducing data from the ticket printing data and displayed on the user terminal device 11.
  • the process is fast because amount of data is less and the security data and the ticket image data are partially broken, the ticket printing data cannot be used even when it is tried to obtain it illegally by taking a hard copy of the display. Accordingly, there is such a merit that the security is improved.
  • the ticket printing data and the ticket display data are not different apparently from the normal image and therefore, for instance, such general purpose image formats as JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) and TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) are usable. Further, as they can be processed according to an application for treating general images, the system construction is relatively easy.
  • JPEG Joint Photographic Experts Group
  • TIFF Tagged Image File Format
  • the ticket 14 printed with the ticket printing data printed and output with the ticket printer. 13 such as a color printer is used by user at a place of circuit.
  • the system side is able to judge the genuineness of the ticket by detecting the security data of the used ticket 14. This is described below in detail.
  • An image of the ticket 14 printed on a paper, etc. with the ticket printer 13 is read by an optical reading means such as a scanner, digitized to the state shown in FIG. 15 and the security data 22 is restored.
  • a key image data 22 shown in FIG. 10 is used.
  • the portion "1" of the value of the key image data 24 judges the ticket printing data 23 to be valid and the portion "0" of the value of the key image data 24 judges the value of the ticket printing data 23 to be invalid.
  • the result is shown in FIG. 18.
  • the hatched pixels in the figure are invalid data.
  • the valid data (expressed in white on a black ground) in FIG. 18 is cut out in a prescribed size.
  • FIG. 19 The result of the restoration of a embedded image data (the security data) 22 according to this method is shown in FIG. 19.
  • the thick frame portion in the figure is the portion of the security data 22. This portion is in accord with FIG. 11 and it is seen that the security data 22 was completely restored.
  • the security data 22 becomes visible. Accordingly, it is possible to directly check a logo mark, etc. in the security data 22 visually. This method does not require troublesome operations and a complicated apparatus and therefore, there is a merit that genuineness of a ticket can be checked simply at any place.
  • a third security data restoring and detecting method a system to thin a value read by an optical means will be described. It is assume that red components of a value read by a scanner, etc. are as shown in FIG. 15. As a checkered pattern of 4 ⁇ 2 unit is used for the composition process in this embodiment, the security data is thinned in unit of 4 pixels. An expansion factor n when making the security data is also related to this value and an expression of (Checkered grid unit ⁇ Expansion factor n ⁇ Number of pixels to be thinned) becomes valid.
  • the genuineness of the ticket 14 can be easily judged. For instance, even if the ticket 14 was given to a third person and illegally copied using a color copying machine, the history of that ticket, for instance, when, where and who issued it can be seen as the security data 22 contains a inquiry serial number and an illegal route can be detected easily.
  • the composition process is executed using a checkered pattern in unit of 4 ⁇ 2 pixels as a key. So, when the composition process is executed using a checkered pattern in size of 1 ⁇ 1 pixel, the effect to prevent the copying with a color copying machine is further promoted. This is because red rich and cyan rich pixel data of the ticket printing data are regularly arranged alternately by the composition process when such square grids as size 1 ⁇ 1 or 2 ⁇ 2 pixels are used.
  • a sensor of a scanner portion of a color copying machine is not a spot but has a limited area and therefore, even if a scanner reading resolution is the same as a ticket printing resolution, pixels of a sensor of scanner and pixels of the ticket printing data are finely deviated and they are read as they are.
  • the red and cyan components are complementary colors and it is therefore difficult to separate pixels arranged in extremely highly precise pitches and erroneously recognized to be gray by the eyes of man and sensors, and they cannot be properly copied.
  • FIG. 22 schematically shows the state from issue of ticket to detection of security data so far in use.
  • ticket image data 21 a landscape photograph is used.
  • security data 22 a logo mark "JAPAN” as a copyright data and a two-dimensional code for checking by the sense of vision of a man and by a machine that are converted into the security data according to the steps shown in this embodiment are used.
  • the ticket printing data 23 is made by executing the composition process of the ticket image data 21, the security data 22 and the key image data 24 according to the method described above.
  • the image of this ticket printing data 23 is seen as a landscape photograph to the eyes of a man but the copyright data, etc. are invisibly embedded.
