2. Description of the Related Art A so-called ID card (Identifier)
In addition, in the ID card for certifying specific qualification, in order to prevent counterfeiting, the characters and the face image of the person are exposed on the silver salt photographic light-sensitive material and the photograph is recorded. Often used as an ID card.

Conventionally, the above-mentioned ID card with a photograph has been prepared by the following procedure. FIG. 5 is a block diagram showing a configuration example of a conventional system. Here, the case where the employee ID of the company is updated is taken as an example.
In the figure, 1 is a headquarters host, and 2 is a database (DB) connected to the headquarters host 1 and storing ID information of all employees. Reference numeral 3 is an A branch host installed in the A branch, and 4 is a database (DB) which is connected to the A branch host 3 and stores ID information of employees of the A branch. Although there are many branch offices in addition to the A branch office, only the A branch office is shown here for convenience of explanation.

The host 3 of the A branch office and the host 1 of the head office are connected by a signal line. In branch A, 5 is a registration terminal as an ID information input means for reading application information (ID information), 6 is a photographing device for taking a facial photograph of the person, and 7 is an ID card in which facial photograph information and ID information are written. Is an ID card printer that creates The registration terminal 5 is, for example, a personal computer (hereinafter abbreviated as a personal computer), and the photographing device 6 is, for example, a personal computer including a video camera or a digital camera (digital camera). The registration terminal 5 includes a printer 21 and an OCR (optical
A character reader) 22 and a keyboard 23 are connected. The OCR 22 is used to read personal identification information such as an ID number in an ID card and input it to a personal computer (PC). The keyboard 23 is used for inputting ID information and for inputting change information when there is a change in the described items. The printer 21 updates the registered ID in order to ask the applicant to confirm whether the ID information recorded in the database 4 is correct.
Used to print information.

The OCR 22 reads the characters written in the applicant information, and the keyboard 23 inputs the applicant information.
Reference numeral 24 is an OCR connected to the photographing device 6, and 25 is an application form scanner for reading an application form as an image, which is connected to the photographing device 6.

The ID card printer 7 prints a face image and ID information on an ID card, and 10 is a LAN for connecting the respective constituent elements. Reference numeral 9 is an inquiry terminal connected to the LAN 10 for confirming the identity of the person when reissuing.
Reference numeral 11 is a filing device connected to the LAN 10.

[0007] Normally, the employee ID is updated using the system of the branch office to which the employee belongs. The updating operation in that case is as follows. The applicant causes the OCR 22 to read the ID card (old card) used until then. The registration terminal 5 notifies the A branch office host 3 of the ID number read by the OCR 22. The branch office host 3 has an ID corresponding to the ID number stored in the database 4.
The information is read from the database 4, and the content is displayed on the display of the registration terminal 5.

[0008] Here, the ID information read from the database 4 and the ID information of the application form are compared to check whether or not there is a change in the items to be described in the ID information. When there is a change in the items to be entered, the operator uses the keyboard 2
Correct the items described in 3. The A branch office host 3 sends the updated contents to the head office host 1, and the head office host 1 judges the validity of the updated contents, and when it is judged to be valid (the head office host 1
Checks the past history of the applicant corresponding to the sent ID number and decides whether to update and register the ID card), and sends update permission information to the A branch host 3. The corrected ID information is stored in the database 4 via the A branch host 3
And the update is completed. Next, the information stored in the database 4 is read out and printed on the update application form by the printer 21.

The applicant goes to the photographing device 6 with the printed application form. The application form describes the conventional ID number, ID information, and new items to be entered. Therefore, the OCR 24 attached to the photographing device 6 reads the ID number from the application form. When the ID number is read, the ID information corresponding to the corresponding ID number is read from the database 4. On the other hand, the application scanner 25
The application form is read in as an image, and the application form information is temporarily stored in the storage area of the image capturing apparatus 6 as a pair with the ID number.

The photographing device 6 photographs the face image of the person. The photographed face image is converted into an electric signal (digital image information) by the photographing device 6, is temporarily stored in a storage area in the photographing device as a pair with the ID number, and the face image paired with the ID number and the application are applied. The calligraphic image is stored in the filing device 11 via the LAN 10. The ID information read from the database 4 is also paired with the ID information and filed in the filing device 11. As a result, the filing device 11 stores the ID number, ID information, face image, and application form image.
In this case, the face image information is, for example, a bitmap (BM
The image may be stored in the P) format, or may be a JPG or a compressed image in the TIFF format. Next, the photographing device 6
Issues an employee ID creation command to the ID card printer 7.
The ID card printer 7 prints the ID number, the ID information, and the face image stored in the storage area of the photographing device 6 on the front surface of the ID card. In this way, the ID card of the employee who applied is created.

On the other hand, when the employee ID is reissued, a search key (I
(D number, name, etc.) is input, and the ID number, ID information, and face image of the corresponding person are read out. The application image is also read if necessary.

[0012]

In the case of the system described above, information (ID number, ID
Input of information and face image is performed by the photographing device 6 when updating the ID card. Here, the update means a procedure for reissuing the ID card periodically. Reissue will be based on the application form. Here, if there is a change in the application form after the update (for example, the address, name, etc. are changed: referred to as a change), the old information must be used when using the data of the filing device 11. There is a problem that there is no. Further, when the update and the change of the described items (so-called change) are repeated, the filing device 11 has the same I
A plurality of ID information and face images associated with the D number will be stored. In this case, which information is used for I
It is necessary to decide whether to create a D card.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide an ID card producing system capable of efficiently reissuing an ID card.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention. The same as in Fig. 5,
The same reference numerals are given. In the figure, 30 is a management terminal for creating an ID card using the information stored in the filing device 11, and 35 is a written matter change application form for having the ID card recreated. The management terminal 30 is composed of, for example, a personal computer and includes a keyboard and a display. Other configurations are the same as those in FIG. In this case, consider the case where an application (change) is made to the ID information at the branch office, not at the branch office. The update information received at the branch is collectively processed. For example, if the update information is collected for about one month, the entry item change application form 35 can be made. This information is processed in a batch process. Alternatively, the processing may be performed each time.

For example, the ID information is changed one by one using the keyboard 23 of the registration terminal 5 for the entry item change application form 35. In this case, the changed ID information is
For example, there are addresses, names, etc. The ID number of the update information file is read from the OCR 22. When the ID number is read, the branch host 3 reads the ID information by referring to the database 4 and displays it on the display attached to the registration terminal 5. The operator is the ID displayed on the display.
The information and the ID information of the update information file are compared.

In this case, since the address, name, etc. are always changed in the entry item change application 35, it does not match the ID information displayed on the display. Therefore, the operator updates the ID information based on the content of the description item change application form 35. The updated ID information is stored in the database 4 via the host 3. At this time, the host 3 also stores the changed ID information in the filing device 11. The database 4 is updated every time a change from the entry change application 35 is input to the registration terminal 5, and the contents of the filing apparatus 11 are also updated.

Here, it is assumed that the host 3 goes down due to a natural disaster such as an earthquake. Even if the person who lost the ID card applies for reissuance, in this case, use the host 3
You can't create cards. This means that when the operator tries to access the host 3 from the management terminal 30, no response is returned from the host 3, so it is possible to detect that the host is down.

In this case, I using the database 4
Since the D card cannot be reissued, the filing device 1
An ID card is created based on the information stored in 1.
As described above, when the database 4 is updated based on the entry change application 35, the filing device 11 simultaneously stores the history information.
It may be considered that the latest information (ID number, ID information, face image, application form image) is stored in the filing device 11 when the host 3 goes down.
Therefore, instead of the database 4, the filing device 1
There is no particular inconvenience even if an ID card is created based on the information of 1. In this case, when the host goes down, the ID information can be obtained from the filing device 11 and the ID card can be reissued.

The ID card producing operation will be described below with reference to the flow chart shown in FIG. When the operator inputs the search key from the management terminal 30 (S1), the management terminal 30 displays the information registered in the filing device 11 as 1
It is checked whether it is a case (whether it has a plurality of history information) (S2).

Here, if there is only one registration information in step S2, there is no point in displaying the list, so in this case, the face / ID information screen is promptly displayed (S3). FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a display screen when there is only one history. As shown in the figure, it is composed of a face image and ID information. The operator refers to this screen and issues a creation instruction (S4). As a result, the management terminal 30 gives the ID card printer the ID number, the ID information, and the face image, and the ID card is printed. By doing so, since the number of registrations is one, it is possible to display face image information and instruct reissuance of the ID card.

Here, when the same person has a plurality of history information, a history list as shown in FIG. 4 is displayed (S6). Here, the case where the same person has the update history of n times is shown. In FIG. 4, the ID number, the date of delivery, the address, the name, the sex, the presence / absence of a face image, and the presence / absence of an application form image are stored for each history. Here, A is a normal update, and B is a change in the items described (here, the address is changed).
Is.

Then, the operator selects desired ID information from the displayed history information (S7). Specifically, a method of clicking the line in which the history is displayed with the mouse is used. Here, the ID information is not necessarily the latest one. This is because when the ID card is lost, the ID card may be created based on the information at the time of creating the ID card.

As a result, the face / ID information screen is displayed on the display (S8). In this case, when the face image does not exist in the selected history, the management terminal 30 goes back in the history and automatically searches for the latest face image. And
The image as shown in FIG. 3 is displayed.

In the update information, there are cases where the face image is not updated and only the change is noted. Therefore, when the ID card is reissued, the ID card can be created using the predetermined ID information and the latest face image.

Next, the post-processing when the host is down will be described. When the host went down, an ID card was created using various information stored in the filing device 11. However, since the history of this registration is not left in the database 2 of the headquarter host 1, it is necessary to post-confirmatively apply for reissuance.

The reissue history is stored in the management terminal 30. The reissue history is, for example, an ID number, a name, a date of issuance, a date of reissue, and the like. Therefore, the management terminal 30
Sends a signal from the registration terminal 5 to the registration terminal 5 to register the re-issue history with respect to the host 3. Alternatively, the management terminal 3
The reissue history may be directly registered from 0 to the host 3. The history of this re-issue is stored in the database 4 connected to the branch host 3. Database 4
Is further stored in the database 2 of the host 1 of the head office. In this way, the database 4 stores the update history that matches the update history. In this way, it is possible to register the posterior consent in the host host and match the contents of the database connected to the host with the actual update history. In this case, the host database may be updated by inputting a change from the management terminal 30. As a result, the host database is updated.

FIG. 5 is a block diagram showing a second embodiment of the present invention. The same parts as those in FIGS. 1 and 5 are designated by the same reference numerals. The reissue procedure in normal times will be described using the system shown in the figure. It is assumed that the branch host 3 is operating normally in normal times. Reference numeral 31 is an inquiry terminal.

In this case, the operator can select from the management terminal 30 whether to use a file stored in the database 4 of the branch host 3 or a file stored in the filing apparatus 11. it can. According to this, the host 3 or the filing device 11
It is possible to create an ID card by specifying any of the above to obtain ID information. When the ID information is obtained from the branch host 3, the operator may access the host 3 and check the normality before performing the delivery process as a precaution.

According to the present invention, the identity is confirmed from the inquiry terminal 31. In this case, the identification of the person is performed by referring to the ID number, ID information, face image, and applicant image from the filing device 11. When the identity verification is completed, the operator performs reissue registration from the registration terminal 5. Headquarters Host 1
Determines whether to permit reissuance by referring to the database 2 and past history. As a result, when the head office host 1 gives permission for reissuance, the operator gives the ID number, ID information, and face image to the ID card printer 7 from the management terminal 30 to create an ID card.

In the above-described embodiment, the inquiry terminal, the registration terminal, and the management terminal have been described separately, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the inquiry terminal, the registration terminal, and the management terminal are one terminal. Can also be used as

In the above-described embodiment, the case where the procedure for reissuing the employee ID card is performed has been described as an example, but the present invention is not limited to this, and is applied to any system that creates an ID card including a certain qualification. can do.
