2. Description of the Related Art Various cards such as prepaid cards, ID cards, cash cards, and credit cards have been widely used in various fields. These cards are used, for example, for payment when purchasing a product or for exchanging personal information of card users. By the way, with the increasing use of cards for payment at the time of purchase of products and exchange of personal information, there arises a problem that a counterfeit card is used by impersonating another person and impersonating another person. It's starting to happen. At present, in order to prevent the creation of such a counterfeit card, a hologram sheet for displaying a hologram image is provided on the surface of the card, but there is a problem of increasing the manufacturing cost of the card. In addition, in order to prevent the creation of counterfeit cards, it has also been attempted to provide patterns that are difficult to duplicate on the surface of the card, but these are patterns for printing, such as tint block printing and fine patterns using gradation patterns and moire effects. It is difficult to select and adjust the printing ink because it is a method of visually recognizing the authenticity of the printed matter, such as a method of incorporating, and after printing characters / patterns, a complicated dark tint pattern, color pattern etc. It is also necessary to cover-print the pattern of No. 3, which requires a great deal of cost and time for plate making, and it is the current situation that similar printing is possible. Further, when making a genuine / counterfeit judgment, it is usually performed visually by using a loupe, a microscope or the like, and a skill level is required for the judgment. Therefore, in view of the above circumstances, the present invention makes it difficult to visually check the authenticity determination section of the original card, and further, in a state in which the authenticity determination section is made invisible, by determining the presence or absence of the authenticity determination section, The object is to make it easy to verify the authenticity of a counterfeit card that has been illegally copied, and to make it easy to find a counterfeit card.

In the present invention, since the authenticity determining portion formed by applying the conductive ink is provided on the outer peripheral end surface of the card, it is difficult to visually confirm the authenticity determining portion. If the conductive ink is transparent, it cannot be visually confirmed, and even the presence of the authenticity determination part cannot be confirmed. Therefore, even if a counterfeit card is created by imitating a genuine card for counterfeiting, the counterfeit card cannot be provided with an authenticity determination section using conductive ink. Therefore, it can be determined whether or not the card is the original by checking whether or not there is the authenticity determination section using the conductive ink.

The conductive ink for obtaining the authenticity determining portion 7 may be a low resistance type colored conductive ink using a magnetic inorganic pigment such as iron oxide, but more preferably tin. It is preferable to use an indium oxide, that is, ITO (Sn / In 2 O 3 ) ultrafine powder dispersed in an ink resin vehicle to form an ink. This is because the specific resistance value of this ITO ultrafine powder is 10-1.
Since the resistance value is much lower than that of a conventional magnetic inorganic pigment such as iron oxide at about 10-4 Ω · cm, by converting the ITO ultrafine particles having such a low resistance value into an ink, Not only can conductive inks with significantly reduced resistance be obtained compared to conductive inks, but this IT
O Ultrafine powder having a particle size of 0.1 μm or less and uniformly dispersed therein has transparency. Therefore, by incorporating this into a transparent resin vehicle, a transparent ink having conductivity. It is also possible to prepare Therefore, when the ITO conductive ink is used for the authenticity judging section 7, the authenticity judging section having excellent conductivity can be obtained even if the coating amount of the conductive ink is reduced as compared with the usual conductive ink, or The effect is that the voltage / capacity of the power supply of the determination device described later can be reduced.

Next, a method of determining whether it is the genuine card 1 having the above-mentioned configuration or a counterfeit card produced without the authenticity determining section 7 will be described. First, the judgment device 8 is used for this judgment. As shown in FIG. 2, the judgment device 8 is connected to a power source 9 composed of a dry battery or the like and a continuity display means 10 composed of a lamp or the like. The electric circuit 11 and the electrodes 12 connected to both ends of the electric circuit 11 and separated from each other by a length equal to the distance between the end portions of the authenticity determining portion 7 even if they are long. And the judge is the judgment target (card)
It suffices to move both electrodes 12 of the determination device 8 so as to slide while simultaneously contacting the end faces of the four sides of the same without short-circuiting. If the card to be judged is a genuine card, the electric circuit 1 is generated when both the electrodes 12 come into contact with the authenticity judgment section 7.
1 is closed and the continuity display means 10 is turned on, and it is determined that the card to be determined is a genuine card. On the contrary, if the object to be judged is a counterfeit, it is necessary to have the authenticity judgment unit 7 and therefore the electric circuit 1
With 1 open, the continuity display means 10 does not light up, and it becomes possible to determine that the card to be determined is a counterfeit. In this way, the determiner can determine the authenticity of the determination target by visually checking whether the continuity display means 10 is lit.

Further, it is possible to judge whether the card to be judged is a genuine card or a counterfeit by using a judging device 8 having another structure. The configuration of the determining device 8 used for this determination is shown in FIG. 3, and the determining device 8 measures the surface electric resistance value of the power source 9 composed of a dry battery or the like and the overlapping surface 13 with respect to the determination target. And a determination unit 15 for determining and displaying whether or not there is a difference in the measured surface electric resistance value with respect to the set surface electric resistance value. Then, the measuring unit 14 of the determining device 8 is slidably moved while overlapping the end face of the determination target (card 1 or counterfeit card). It is preferable that the length of the overlapping surface 13 of the measuring unit 14 corresponds to the dimension of the long side of the card 1, but the card 1 is not always required.
It is not necessary to correspond to the long side dimension of. Of course, the overlapping surface may be bent corresponding to the shape of two continuous sides of the card 1.

The determination unit 15 compares the set surface electric resistance value of the superposed surface 13 with the measured measured surface electric resistance value, and when there is a difference between the set surface electric resistance value and the measured surface electric resistance value. Indicates that the determination target is a genuine card 1 and is displayed, and if there is no difference, it is determined and displayed as a fake. That is, when the original card 1 is the determination target, the conductive ink portion forming the authenticity determination unit 4 is in contact with the overlapping surface 13,
The measured surface electric resistance value will be different from the set surface electric resistance value. Therefore, there is a difference between the two, and it can be determined that the DUT is the original card 1. On the contrary, when the authenticity judging section 4 is a non-existent counterfeit article,
Even if the measurement unit 14 is superposed on the determination target and energized for measurement, the surface electric resistance value of the superposition surface 13 does not change, so that there is no difference between the measured surface electric resistance value and the set surface electric resistance value. As a result, the determination unit 15 determines and displays the measured object as a counterfeit. Since the authenticity of the card is determined based on the presence or absence of the difference between the measured surface electrical resistance value and the set surface electrical resistance value by contacting the determination device 8 in this manner, the determination work becomes extremely simple. Further, the judgment device 8 itself has a simple structure and is easy to handle.
