Features. According to this feature, even if the certificate paper is stolen from the issuing device, the certificate paper is not printed with identification patterns such as a tint block in advance, and these identification patterns are printed when the certificate is issued. Since the certificate is printed by the issuing means, even if the certificate sheet is stolen, it is possible to prevent the certificate from being easily forged.

In the certificate issuance system of the present invention, the storage means has an identification pattern library in which a plurality of identification patterns for printing on the issued certificate are registered, and the identification pattern to be printed on the issued certificate is provided. It is preferable to include an identification pattern selection unit for selecting a pattern from the identification pattern library. In this way, the identification pattern selection means appropriately changes the identification pattern selected according to, for example, the timing of issuance and the content and type of the issued certificate, thereby making it more difficult to forge these certificates. Not only can it be
Discrimination of forged securities from genuine securities can be performed more easily, and even those who do not have specialized knowledge can easily find these forged acts.

[0008] In the certificate issuance system of the present invention, it is preferable that the identification pattern selecting means is formed by the management computer. According to this configuration, the identification pattern to be printed in the issuing device is centrally performed in the management computer, so that the management of the identification pattern to be printed can be accurately performed, and the change thereof can be easily performed. Can be done.

The certificate issuing system of the present invention has an identification pattern library in which information capable of specifying an identification pattern and print data of the identification pattern are registered in both the management computer and the issuing device in association with each other. Sending back to the issuing device information that can specify the identification pattern to be printed on the certificate issued by the issuing device, and the issuing device sends the identification pattern library to the identification pattern library based on the information that can specify the identification pattern. It is preferable to print and issue the identified identification pattern. By doing so, it is not necessary to transmit the pattern data (print data) of the identification pattern itself having a relatively large data capacity to the issuing device at the time of issuance, and the communication time required for transmitting these pattern data can be greatly reduced. The time required for issuance can be greatly reduced, and the risk of theft of these pattern data during communication can be eliminated.

In the certificate issuing system according to the present invention, it is preferable that the management computer periodically updates the print data of the identification pattern stored in the storage means. In this way, even if the print data of the identification pattern is stolen from the storage unit, the data is updated periodically, thereby minimizing the damage caused by the piracy of the data.

In the certificate issuing system according to the present invention, the identification pattern selecting means selects the identification pattern from the identification pattern library so that a certificate having a different identification pattern is issued depending on the type and content of the issued certificate. Is preferred. By doing so, for example, the identification pattern of the issued certificate will differ depending on the type of certificate such as a resident card or a seal certificate, and the gender and age of the person receiving the certificate. Not only is it more difficult to find, but it is also easier to find these counterfeits.

In the certificate issuance system of the present invention, it is preferable that the identification pattern includes a copy protection image. In this way, by including the copy-preventing object line in the identification pattern, it is possible to make it difficult to copy the certificate issued even if the identification certificate is printed and issued.

[0013] In the certificate issuance system of the present invention, it is preferable that the printing means is capable of printing an identification pattern without visual confirmation. In this case, since the identification patterns are normally not visually recognizable, the existence of these identification patterns can be hardly recognized by a forger or the like, and the discovery of the forgery can be facilitated.

In the certificate issuance system of the present invention, it is preferable that the printing means prints the identification pattern with transparent fluorescent ink so that the identification pattern cannot be visually checked. If you do this,
It is possible to issue securities on which an identification pattern which cannot be visually checked and which can be visually recognized by irradiation of specific light is printed.

In the certificate issuing system according to the present invention, the management computer transmits an identifier corresponding to the issued certificate to the issuing device, and transmits the transmitted identifier to a certificate issued by the printing unit. It is preferably printed and issued. By doing so, the authenticity of the certificate can be easily determined by comparing the identifier with the contents of the certificate.
