Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an ID card issuing device for issuing an ID card in which information on a holder is recorded on the surface of the card, a magnetic recording section or an IC memory.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as an ID card, JISB9
So-called magnetic cards having a magnetic stripe on a substrate made of vinyl chloride or the like, such as credit cards defined in 560 and 9561, are generally used.

In such an apparatus for processing a magnetic card, a magnetic head is brought into contact with the magnetic stripe portion to detect the magnitude of the magnetic flux density, thereby reading magnetic information recorded on the magnetic stripe of the magnetic card. .

In recent years, using a wireless technology and a high-density mounting technology, an IC chip and an antenna are embedded in the same base material as the credit card or a thinner base material.
Wireless communication from external device (card reader / writer) to IC
A non-contact type IC card for reading and writing recorded contents in a chip has been put to practical use as an ID card.

[0005] These ID cards are used in a very wide range of fields, and are expected to be used in even more fields in the future. However, the necessity of mass issue of ID cards has arisen. Due to such necessity, processing such as printing processing of the face image of the holder, printing processing of the holder information, writing processing of the magnetic information, and writing processing of the IC information are sequentially performed on the card in the initial state (raw card) before issuance. ID that issues an ID card by performing it continuously
A card issuing device has been commercialized.

For example, in such an ID card issuing apparatus, after information necessary for issuing an ID card is registered, an ID card issuance process is performed in the following procedure.

First, when a card (raw card) in an initial state before issuance is set, a bearer face image is printed on the card, and bearer information is printed. Next, the magnetic information is encoded in the magnetic recording unit, and the IC information is encoded in the IC storage unit.

[0008] If the processing up to now has been performed normally,
The card is stored in the stacker as a normally issued ID card. If the processing so far is not performed normally, the card is stored in the reject stacker as an abnormal card. Also, when a failure (jam) occurs when the card is transported in the issuing device, the card is transported to the reject stacker and stored or removed by the operator.

However, the above-described ID card issuing apparatus has the following problems (A) and (B).

[0010] (A) In the case where there is a print of holder information or a print of a face image of the holder on the surface of the ID card, the legitimacy of the holder can be confirmed by visually observing the surface of the ID card. The size of the face image or print content printed on the surface of the ID card may be small, and may be illegally used.

For example, a person who finds an ID card on which the owner information and the face image of the owner are regularly printed and printed,
When using an ID card that does not involve confirmation of the contents recorded on a magnet or IC, illegal use is performed with an ID card that has been properly printed and printed.

Further, after printing and printing are normally processed in the issuing operation in the ID card issuing device, the ID card stored in the reject stacker is taken out without writing magnetic information or IC information normally for some reason. hand,
When the ID card is used without confirming the contents recorded on the magnet or the IC, the ID card is illegally used.

(B) An ID card on which magnetic information or IC information is written can verify the holder's legitimacy by reading the magnetic information or IC information with a dedicated card reader. Unauthorized use was possible when the right person did not possess it.

For example, when an ID card on which magnetic information or IC information is properly written has been found, the person who found the ID card illegally uses the found ID card. Also, in some cases, it is difficult for an unauthorized user to attach a printed and printed sheet to the printed and printed portion of the surface of the picked-up ID card from above, so that it is difficult to visually identify the ID card as an unauthorized ID card. The ID card can be "forged".

In addition, after the printing process, the printing process, the magnetic writing process, and the IC writing process among the issuing operations in the ID card issuing device are properly processed, a problem occurs in the transport portion in the device. Illegally use the ID card stored in the. Alternatively, an issuance operation in the ID card issuing apparatus is properly processed and normally stored in the stacker, but an ID card which is no longer used due to poor quality of printing or printing is illegally used.

As described above, an ID card that requires high security may be found and used illegally, or an ID card rejected when an ID card is issued may be used illegally. There is a problem.

[0017]

As described above, there is a problem that an ID card which is required to have high security but cannot be normally processed at the time of issuing the ID card may be illegally used. An object of the present invention is to provide an ID card issuing device that can prevent unauthorized use of an ID card that could not be normally processed at the time of issuing the ID card and can realize high security of the ID card. And

That is, the transmission / reception antenna 2 transmits an analog signal from the transmission analog circuit 6 to the outside by radio waves, receives radio waves transmitted from an external device, and supplies the radio waves to the transmission / reception analog circuit 6.

The transmission / reception analog circuit 6 converts a radio signal received by the transmission / reception antenna 2 into a digital signal and supplies the digital signal to the control digital circuit 7, or converts the radio signal into a digital signal as transmission data from the control digital circuit 7. Is converted into an analog signal for transmission and supplied to the transmitting / receiving antenna 2.

The control digital circuit 7 transmits and receives digital signals via the transmission and reception analog circuit 6, and controls data communication with external devices. The control digital circuit 7 has a memory 8 in which information such as personal information of the holder is recorded as IC information.
The backup battery 4 is connected to the IC chip 3 at a connection section 5 and is connected to the memory 8 in the control digital circuit 7.
It functions as a power supply that holds information recorded in the.

In the function of the non-contact type IC card configured as described above, reading and writing of IC information are performed by wireless communication using a dedicated card reader / writer.

For example, when reading IC information recorded in the memory 8, a read command is transmitted from a dedicated card reader by wireless communication, and the ID card receiving the command transmits the information specified by the command to the card reader. The reply is made by wireless communication.

When writing IC information to the memory 8,
The write command and the IC information to be written are transmitted from the dedicated card writer by wireless communication, and the I
The C card writes the IC information specified by the command into the memory 8.

Next, an ID card issuance system 10 for giving information about the holder to the ID card C configured as described above and issuing the information will be described.

FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration of the ID card issuing system 10. As shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 3, the ID card issuing system 10 includes an ID card issuing device main body 11 and a control computer 12 for controlling the ID card issuing device main body 11.

The control computer 12 includes a personal computer (PC) main body 21, a database 22,
It comprises a camera 23, a scanner 24 and the like. The control computer 12 performs an operation instruction to the ID card issuing device main body 11, registration of information of the holder of the ID card C, capture of a face (face photograph) image, management of the ID card C, and the like. ing.

The PC main body 21 has a keyboard on which an operator (operator) inputs operation instructions and input of owner information, and a display on which operation guidance and the like are displayed. Is controlled.

The database 22 records (registers) information (personal information) on the holder to whom the ID card C is issued. In this database 22,
For example, based on the application form filled in by the holder, the PC body 2
1, personal information such as a personal name, an address, an affiliation, a personal ID number, and an expiration date entered by the keyboard are registered. The information registered in the database 22 is P
The C body 21 allows a search using a personal name, an ID number, or the like as a keyword.

The camera 23 captures a face photograph image by directly photographing the face photograph.
The scanner 24 captures an image of a face photograph of a person to be issued by the scanner 24.

The ID card issuing device body 11 includes a control unit (judgment means) 30, a hopper (removal means) 31, a holder face image printing unit (printing unit) 32, a holder information printing unit (printing unit) 33, Magnetic information writing section (magnetic recording means) 3

37, a reject stacker (second processing means) 38, a disposal processing input section 39, a disposal card recognition section 40, and the like.

The control section 30 controls the operation of the apparatus main body by controlling each section in the apparatus main body 11. Further, when executing the operation of issuing the ID card C, the control unit 30 starts the operation based on the operation start instruction of the control computer 12 and sends various data from the control computer 12 to each unit. Give control.

The hopper 31 stores an initial card (raw card), and the control computer 1
Based on the operation instruction 2, the cards in the initial state are supplied one by one to the holder face image printing unit 32 as the next processing unit.

The holder face image printing section 32 prints a face image provided from the control computer 12 at a predetermined position on a raw card supplied from the hopper 31. The holder information printing section 33 stores information (ID information) on the card on which the face image has been printed.
Is printed at a predetermined position.

The magnetic information writing section 34 writes magnetic information on the magnetic stripe MS of the card. The magnetic information writing unit 34 has, for example, a write head that writes magnetic information and a read head that reads written contents for confirmation.

When writing magnetic information to a card, the magnetic information writing section 34 writes magnetic information on the magnetic stripe MS with the write head and then writes the magnetic information written with the read head. Perform confirmation reading. Then, when the result of the confirmation reading matches the written magnetic information,
The magnetic information writing unit 34 transmits data indicating that the writing has been normally completed to the control unit 30.

The IC information writing section 35 writes the personal information of the holder given from the control computer 12 into the memory 8 provided in the IC chip 3 in the card. The IC information writing unit 35 has, for example, an antenna that communicates with the transmitting / receiving antenna 2 in the card.

When writing the IC information to the memory 8 in the card, the IC information writing section 35 transmits a write command and the IC information to be written to the card via the antenna. When the card receives the transmission content, the card records the IC information in the memory 8 according to the write command. As a result, when the IC information is normally recorded in the memory 8, the card returns data indicating that the writing has been normally completed to the IC information writing unit 35. The IC information writing unit 35 transmits data indicating that the writing process has been normally completed to the control unit 30 when receiving data indicating that the writing has been normally completed from the card.

The hopper 31, the face image information printing section 32, the owner information printing section 33, the magnetic information writing section 34,
And the IC information writing unit 35 are provided with detectors 31a to 35a for detecting whether or not the processing has been performed normally. Based on the detection results of these detectors 31a to 35a, the control unit 30 determines whether or not the processing in each of the above units has been performed normally.

For example, the detectors 31a to 35a detect the transport state of the card being processed. Based on the detection result, the control unit 30 determines whether or not the processing has been normally performed based on whether or not the card being processed is detected within a predetermined time.

When the hopper 31, the face image information printing unit 32, the owner information printing unit 33, the magnetic information writing unit 34, and the IC information writing unit 35 perform the issuing process normally, the stacker 36 operates normally. Is stored.

The disposal section 37 includes the hopper 31,
If the issuing process is not performed normally in the face image information printing unit 32, the owner information printing unit 33, the magnetic information writing unit 34, and the IC information writing unit 35, that is, if a failure occurs in the issuing process, A discarding process, which will be described later, is performed on the card that has not been issued.

The reject stacker 38 stores the cards discarded by the discard unit 37.

The discard processing input section 39 stores an ID card C that needs to be discarded, such as an expired or expired ID card.
Is input from outside.

The discarded card recognition section 40 reads the contents of the ID card inserted from the discarding processing input section 39,
The contents are transmitted to the control computer 12, and the ID is transmitted.
Performs card recognition processing. At this time, the control computer 12 records in the database 22 that the recognized ID card has been discarded. The card processed by the discarded card recognition unit 40 is transported to the discard processing unit 37.

Next, the discarding process in the discarding section 37 will be described.

The discarding process performed by the discarding unit 37 includes, for example, the following processes (1) to (6).

(1) Punch a hole on the ID card C. When a punch hole is punched in the ID card as a disposal process, a punch hole is punched in a portion where information about the owner is printed or a portion where a face photograph is printed. For example, as shown in FIG. 4, a punch hole P1 is formed in a portion of the ID card C where a face photograph is printed.

When the ID card is used by authenticating the holder by visually checking the personal information or the face photograph of the holder on the surface of the ID card, a punched hole is printed on the portion where the personal information is printed or the face photograph. Since the ID card is vacant, when the ID card is visually inspected, it can be seen at a glance that the ID card is invalid, and illegal use can be prevented.

(2) The ID card C
Prints information indicating that is invalid. Thus I
When information indicating that the ID card is invalid is printed on the D card C, the information indicating that the ID card is invalid, such as “invalid”, is printed on the surface of the ID card C so that the user can see at a glance the information indicating that the ID card is invalid. I do. For example, the character "invalid" is printed on the portion where the personal information of the holder is printed or on the portion of the face photograph of the holder.

When the ID card is used by authenticating the holder by visually observing the surface of the ID card, the ID card is visually inspected because information indicating that the ID card is invalid is printed. At that time, its ID at a glance
It turns out that the card is invalid and prevents unauthorized use.

(3) Magnetic stripe MS of ID card C
Erase the above magnetic information.

When erasing magnetic information as described above, ID
The magnetic information on the magnetic stripe MS is erased by degaussing the magnetic stripe MS of the card C.

Thus, when the ID card C is used by authenticating the holder by reading the magnetic information, the magnetic information on the magnetic stripe MS indicates that the ID card is improper and prevents unauthorized use. it can.

(4) Physically destroy the magnetic stripe MS of the ID card.

When the magnetic information is physically destroyed, a punch hole P2 is formed on the magnetic stripe MS as shown in FIG. In this case, by arranging the portion where the punch hole P2 is opened on the magnetic stripe MS, the magnetic stripe MS can be physically destroyed and magnetic information cannot be read.

Thus, when the ID card C is used by authenticating the owner by reading the magnetic information, the magnetic stripe MS is physically destroyed, so that the magnetic information cannot be read. , The ID card C cannot be used.

Further, a punch hole P is formed on the magnetic stripe MS.
When the ID card C is opened, a punch hole is formed in the ID card C. Therefore, when the surface of the ID card C is visually observed, the ID card C is found to be invalid at a glance, and is printed or printed on the surface. Unauthorized use due to the provided information can also be prevented.

(5) The IC information in the memory 8 of the ID card C is deleted.

When erasing the IC information as described above, an antenna for performing wireless communication with the ID card C is provided in the discard processing unit 37, and the IC is transmitted from the antenna to the transmitting / receiving antenna 2.
By transmitting the information erasing command, the ID card erases the IC information recorded in the memory 8.

Thus, when the ID card is used by authenticating the holder by reading the IC information, it is found that the card is improper because there is no IC information in the memory of the ID card, and the illegal use is made. Can be prevented.

(6) At least a part of an electric circuit functioning as an IC card of the ID card is physically destroyed. When the IC information is physically destroyed as described above, punching holes P3 and P4 are formed in a portion of the ID card in which the electric circuit such as an IC chip is built, thereby physically destroying the electric circuit. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, a punch hole P3 for cutting the antenna at the portion where the transmitting / receiving antenna 2 is built is formed, or the power supply from the backup power supply 4 for backing up the IC information in the memory 8 is cut off. Then, a punch hole P4 is made in the portion of the connection line 5 so as to make the connection.

Thus, when the ID card C is used by authenticating the holder by reading the IC information,
Since the circuit is physically destroyed, the function as an IC card becomes inoperable, so that reading and writing of IC information can be made impossible, and the ID card can not be used.

When an electric circuit functioning as an IC card is broken by punching holes, punch holes are formed in the ID card C. Therefore, when the surface of the ID card C is visually checked, the ID It is found that the card C is invalid, so that unauthorized use can be prevented.

Further, when an electric circuit functioning as an IC card of the ID card C is destroyed, as shown in FIG.
A punch hole P3 may be made in a portion where the magnetic stripe MS and the built-in electric circuit overlap, so that the electric circuit and the magnetic stripe are simultaneously destroyed.

Thus, when a non-contact type IC card which is used together with a magnetic card is issued as an ID card, it is possible to make magnetic information and IC information unusable at the same time by making only one punch hole. It is possible to prevent unauthorized use of the card.

Next, a procedure for issuing the ID card C by the ID card issuing system 10 will be described. In the ID card issuing system 10, after the personal information is registered in the database 22 by the control computer 12, the ID card issuing apparatus main body 11 executes an ID card issuing process.

First, registration of the personal information of the holder to whom the ID card C is issued will be described. When issuing a new ID card C, the operator uses the control computer 12 to obtain information (personal information) on the holder of the ID card C to be issued before executing the ID card C issuing process.
Is registered in the database 22.

The operator uses the keyboard or the like of the PC main body 21 based on documents such as an application filled in by the holder to be issued, and uses the keyboard or the like of the PC 21 to set the personal name, address, affiliation, personal ID number, expiration date, etc. Enter information.

Then, the PC main body 21 registers the input personal information in the database 22. At this time, the ID
In the case of reissuance of ID card C, renewal of expiration date, partial change of personal information, etc. for person who has card C,
In order to increase the efficiency of registration of personal information in the database 22, if a person who has previously registered personal information, an operator inputs information serving as a key for searching for an ID number or the like. This gives P
The C main body 21 extracts personal information from the information stored in the database 22, and changes or corrects the personal information.

On the other hand, a scanner 24 or a camera 23 is connected to the PC main body 21 so that an image of a face photograph of a person to be issued is captured by the scanner 24 or a face photograph is directly photographed by the camera 23. It has become. The image of the face photograph thus obtained is stored in correspondence with the personal information stored in the database 22.

The personal information created in this way is used as information on the ID card C issued by the ID card issuing device main body 11.

Next, the issuing process of the ID card C by the ID card issuing device body 11 will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. First, after the above-described registration of the personal information of the ID card C and the capture of the image of the face photograph are completed, the operator sets the card (raw card) in the initial state on the hopper 21 and Instructs the start of ID card C issuance processing.

Then, the PC main unit 21 outputs the image of the photograph of the face of the ID card C, the personal information to be printed, the magnetic information to be magnetically recorded, and the IC information to be recorded in the memory 8 to be issued based on the operation of the operator. It is transmitted to the main body 11. I
In the main body 11 of the D-card issuing apparatus, a face image printing section 32 prints an image of a face photograph, a holder information printing section 33 prints personal information, a magnetic writing section 34 prints magnetic information, and an IC
The information is stored in an internal memory (not shown) by the information writing unit 35.

The control unit 30 takes out one raw card from the hopper 31 (step 1) and conveys it to the printing position (thermal head unit) of the holder face image printing unit 32. At this time, the control unit 30 determines whether or not the card has been normally removed based on the detection result of the detector 31a of the hopper 31 (step 2).

As a result of this determination, when it is determined that the raw card has been normally removed from the hopper 31, the holder face image printing section 32 moves the control card from the control computer 12 to a predetermined position on the surface of the conveyed card. The image of the given face photograph is printed (step 3). At this time, the control unit 30
It is determined whether or not the printing process of the image of the face photograph has been normally performed based on whether or not the detector 32a has normally detected the card (step 4).

As a result of this determination, when it is determined that the printing of the image of the face photograph has been normally processed, the control unit 30 conveys the card to the holder information printing unit 33. The owner information printing unit 33 prints personal information as owner information given from the control computer 11 for each predetermined item on the card at a predetermined position on the card surface (step 5). At this time, the control unit 30 controls the detector 33a.
It is determined whether or not the printing process of the owner information has been performed normally based on whether or not the card has been normally detected (step 6).

As a result of this determination, when it is determined that the printing process of the owner information has been performed normally, the control unit 30 conveys the card to the magnetic information writing unit 34. The magnetic information writing unit 34 magnetizes the magnetic stripe MS of the card conveyed by a write head (not shown) based on data obtained by encoding personal information.

When the recording of the magnetic information is completed, the magnetic information writing section 34 reads the written information by a read head (not shown) for confirmation, and when the magnetic information is normally written, Data indicating normal termination is sent to the control unit 30. As a result, the personal information is normally recorded on the magnetic stripe MS, and the writing process of the magnetic information ends normally (step 7).

At this time, the control unit 30 determines that the magnetic information writing process to the card is normally performed based on the detection result of the detector 34a and the data indicating that the magnetic information writing process from the magnetic writing unit 34 is normally completed. It is determined whether or not the operation has been performed (step 8).

As a result of this determination, if it is determined that the magnetic information writing process has been performed normally, the control unit 30 conveys the card to the IC information writing unit 35. The IC information writing unit 35 transmits a write command and IC information to be recorded in the memory 8 supplied from the control computer 11 to the conveyed card by wireless communication.

Then, the ID card receives the write command and the IC information transmitted by wireless communication, and writes the IC information into the memory 8. When the IC information can be normally written, the card transmits data indicating a normal end to the IC information writing unit 35. As a result, the process of writing the IC information to the memory 8 ends normally (step 9).

At this time, the control unit 30 determines whether or not the writing process of the IC information to the card has been normally performed based on the detection result of the detector 35a and the data indicating the normal end of the writing from the card. A determination is made (step 10).

As a result of this determination, when it is determined that the writing of the IC information has been performed normally, the control unit 30 conveys the card to the stacker 36 as a normally issued ID card. The stacker 36 stores the conveyed normally issued ID card in a storage unit (not shown) (step 11). As a result, the normally issued ID card C
Are stored in the stacker 36, and the normal issuing process of the ID card is completed.

Further, the above steps 2, 4, 6, 8, 10
If the processing by each unit is not completed normally, the control unit 30 conveys the card to the disposal processing unit 37 if the card can be conveyed. The card conveyed to the discarding unit 37 without being processed normally is subjected to the discarding process described in the above (1) to (6) by the discarding unit 37 (step 12).

The card discarded by the discarding section 37 is transported to the reject stacker 38 and stored in a storage section (not shown) (step 13). As a result, a card that cannot be normally issued during the issuance processing is discarded and then stored separately from the normally issued card, and the processing for the card that is not normally issued is completed.

If the card is not normally processed due to a failure (jam) during the transportation of the card in the ID card issuing apparatus main body 11, if the card cannot be transported,
The control unit 30 once operates the ID card issuing device main body 11 and notifies the operator that the card cannot be transported. This allows the operator to remove the card that has become untransportable.

As described above, the discard processing section is provided in the ID card issuing apparatus main body so that the card that cannot be normally issued by the ID card issuing apparatus is discarded and stored separately from the normally issued card. It was made.

As a result, the card that could not be issued normally can be discarded without being taken out of the ID card issuing device so that it cannot be used illegally in the device. This has the effect of preventing the card from leaking outside and being used illegally.

Next, the processing for a card inserted from the disposal processing input section 39 will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

Here, a card which needs to be discarded is put into the discarding input unit 39. Such a card that needs to be discarded is, for example, a card that cannot be transported during the issuance process in the ID card issuance device as described above and has been removed by the operator, or has expired,
There is an ID card C returned due to change of owner information, erasure of rights, and the like.

First, the card which cannot be transported during the issuance processing and which is removed by the operator or the ID card C which becomes unnecessary for various reasons is inserted into the disposal processing input section 39 (step 21). Then, the disposal input unit 3
The ID card C inserted in 9 is a discard card recognition unit 40
Transported to The discard card recognition unit 40 reads personal information from the magnetic stripe MS or the memory 8 (step 22).

At this time, if the personal information has been read from the card (step 23), the discarded card recognizing section 40 transmits the read personal information to the control computer 11. Then, the control computer 11 recognizes the corresponding ID card C on the database 22 based on the read personal information, and records that the ID card C has been discarded (step 24).

As a result, the fact that the issued ID card C registered in the database 22 has been discarded can be recorded together with the discarding process of the ID card, and the discarded ID card C can be recorded. Can be managed.

The ID card C
When the personal information is read from and the information of the discarded ID card is recorded in the database 22 (step 24), the personal information cannot be read from the ID card C,
When the read information cannot be recognized (step 23),
The control unit 30 conveys the card to the disposal unit 37.

The card conveyed to the discard processing section 37 is subjected to the discard processing described in the above (1) to (6) (step 25). The card discarded by the discarding unit 37 is transported to the reject stacker 38 and stored therein (step 26).

As described above, the ID card issuing device is provided with the discard processing input section, and recognizes the personal information recorded on the inserted ID card and performs the discard processing.

As a result, the data management of the ID card returned due to the expiration of the validity period, the change of the owner information, the deletion of the right, etc. is performed, and the returned ID card is prevented from being illegally used.
