  The present invention relates to an ID card management system for suitably managing an ID card created by attaching a storage medium storing a unique identifier, using the identifier, and a database device used in the ID card management system. .

Recently, various ID cards have been developed in which a unique storage medium and a card body on which predetermined print contents are printed are integrally provided. And as an aspect which produces such an ID card, a storage medium is accommodated in the predetermined metal mold | die previously shape | molded, Then, a thermoplastic synthetic resin is filled in the said metal mold | die, This synthetic resin is hardened. Thus, a mode is known in which a single ID card (plastic ID card) in which a storage medium is sealed with a synthetic resin material for exterior is created (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-176991 (pages 2 to 5, FIG. 12 etc.)

  However, when creating an ID card in the above-described manner, it is necessary to mold a dedicated mold in advance, which increases the initial production cost in the production process, and a small lot ID card using such a mold. When the card is created, the unit price of each ID card tends to be high. In addition, the mode of creating an ID card using a mold is used exclusively in factories for the purpose of mass production, and cannot be used at all from small and medium-sized offices and homes due to cost. Therefore, there is a problem that an ID card cannot be easily created. Further, in order to print predetermined printing information on the synthetic resin material, a dedicated printing device is required, and printing cannot be performed easily, which is one factor that increases the cost. As described above, the ID card creation mode described above is not suitable for the production of small lots and cannot flexibly meet various needs.

  The present invention has been made paying attention to such problems. The main purpose of the present invention is to use a unique identifier attached to an ID card as well as suitable for manufacturing a small lot while keeping production costs low. Then, it is providing the ID card management system which can manage the information which concerns on an ID card suitably.

  That is, the ID card management system according to the present invention includes an ID card integrally including a storage medium storing a unique identifier and a card body on which predetermined print information can be printed, and the card body of the ID card. A printing device that prints the predetermined print information, an access device that is readable or readable / writable with respect to the storage medium of the ID card, and a database device that can communicate with the printing device and the access device. Is done. And the database device acquires the user information relating to the predetermined user from the user information storage unit storing one or a plurality of user information related to the user possessing the ID card, and the user information storage unit, Print information output means for outputting the acquired at least one or more user information to the printing apparatus as print information to be printed on the card body, and print processing for printing the print information output to the printing apparatus by the print information output means Identifier receiving means for receiving from the access device an input of the identifier that is an identifier of the storage medium incidental to the card body after being subjected to the access and that has accessed the storage medium; The identifier received by the identifier receiving means is the storage medium storing the identifier. Identifier registration means for registering in the user information storage unit as new user information related to the user in association with the user information corresponding to the print information printed on the card body. It is characterized by this.

  Furthermore, the present invention is also the database device described above. That is, the database apparatus according to the present invention uses an ID card integrally including a storage medium storing a unique identifier and a card body on which predetermined print information can be printed, using the unique identifier of the storage medium. Used in an ID card management system that manages and prints the predetermined print information on the card body of the ID card, and can be read from or written to the storage medium of the ID card Information can be communicated to any access device. As mentioned in the ID card management system, the database device is characterized by including at least a print information output unit, an identifier reception unit, and an identifier registration unit.

  Here, the “database device” in the present invention is an information processing device having a database function and a database management function, and a predetermined program is mounted in order to execute processing by each of the means described above. In addition, as the “storage medium”, an IC chip that can communicate information with an external device having a predetermined memory unit, communication unit, or the like, a barcode, or any other appropriate one can be applied. In particular, when an IC chip capable of non-contact information communication is applied, an RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) method can be employed. Such a storage medium is accessed by using an access device of the present invention such as a predetermined reader or reader / writer, thereby reading a unique identifier recorded in the storage medium, or storing it in the storage medium. Predetermined information can be written. Further, the printing apparatus may be of any type as long as it has a function capable of printing predetermined printing information on a printing object such as paper. The access device and the printing device are communicably connected to the database device, and as a whole, the ID card management system of the present invention is constructed.

  In such an ID card management system of the present invention, the database device acquires user information relating to the user stored in advance from the user information storage unit or input immediately before printing by the print information output means, and this The acquired user information is output to the printing apparatus as print information. The user information storage unit may store one or a plurality of user information related to one user, or may store user information related to a plurality of users. In the latter case, the user information related to each user is stored. The information may be one or plural. At this time, the print information is user information related to one or a plurality of users, and only one selected user information among the acquired user information related to one user may be used as print information or acquired. All user information may be used as print information. And since the printing device prints the printing information output by the printing information output means of the database device on the card body, the desired user information is stored in the card body from the user information related to the user stored in the user information storage unit. Can be printed easily and easily. The access device accesses the storage medium of the ID card for an ID card that integrally includes a card body on which such print information is printed and a storage medium storing a unique identifier by an appropriate method. An identifier of a storage medium constituting the card is acquired. Then, the database device accepts input of the identifier of the storage medium acquired by the access device by the identifier accepting unit, and converts the received identifier by the identifier registering unit into user information corresponding to the print information printed on the card body. The user information is stored in the user information storage unit as new user information related to the user. As a result, it is possible to reliably associate the print information printed on the card body with the identifier of the storage medium attached to the card body. In addition, according to the ID card management system of the present invention, when an ID card is created, it is not necessary to mold a dedicated mold in advance, so that the initial production cost can be reduced and a predetermined amount can be set via a printing device. Since the printing information is printed on the card body, a small lot can be produced, and an ID card can be easily and easily created in a relatively small office or home. Furthermore, the identifier relating to the ID card created through the above procedure can be stored in the user information storage unit as new user information relating to the user via the access device, and the identifier relating to this ID card is printed. Since it is registered and managed in the user information storage unit in association with the user information utilized as print information, the ID card can be easily managed based on the user information stored in the user information storage unit. it can.

  By the way, the above-described ID card management system and the database device constituting the system utilize the user information stored in the user information storage unit as print information to be printed on the card body, and the user information has an ID. By associating card identifiers, this is an aspect that can also be used as information for managing ID cards (hereinafter, this embodiment is referred to as a “first embodiment”). On the other hand, an ID card management system that can be used as information for managing an ID card by associating user information that is intended to be printed on the card body with an ID card identifier associated with the user information, and the system It may be a database device that constitutes. Specifically, the database device has at least one or more pieces of user information related to a user possessing the ID card input using an input device that the database device has or is connected to the database device. Print information output means for outputting one or more user information to the printing apparatus as print information to be printed on the card body, and print processing for printing the print information output to the printing apparatus by the print information output means An identifier receiving means for receiving an input of an identifier of the storage medium attached to the card body later and acquired by the access device accessing the storage medium from the access device; The identifier received by the means is attached to the storage medium storing the identifier. In relation to the user information corresponding to the print information printed on the card body, the new user information related to the user, together with the user information corresponding to the print information, the user who possesses the ID card And an identifier registration unit that registers in a user information storage unit that stores one or a plurality of user information (this embodiment is referred to as a “second embodiment”). Here, the “input device included in the database device” means an input device provided integrally with the database device, and the “input device connected to the database device” connects to the database device regardless of wired or wireless. And an input device separate from the database device.

  If this is the case, the user information input via the input device for printing on the card body is not merely used as print information, but the user information is stored by associating this user information with the identifier of the ID card. By storing in the department, it can also be diverted as information for managing the ID card.

  In particular, if at least one of the user information stored in the user information storage unit of the database device is one attribute value related to one attribute that identifies the user, a plurality of ID cards are created. Even in this case, it is possible to easily associate the user information related to one user with the identifier of the storage medium attached to the card body printed with the user information as print information. In the information storage unit, user information related to one user and user information related to another user can be clearly distinguished from each other, and information relating to each ID card can be suitably managed.

  In addition, the database device writes user information corresponding to the print information output to the printing device by the print information output means in the storage medium attached to the card body on which the print information is printed. User information stored in the user information storage unit can be shared as print information and write information as long as it further comprises write information output means for outputting to the access device as embedded information. . In addition, the user information stored in the user information storage unit can be securely stored in the storage medium constituting the ID card via the access device, and is printed on the print information printed on the card body and the storage medium. It is possible to effectively prevent a mistake in card creation that the written information is different.

  Further, the database device generates a new attribute value that is an attribute value related to a new attribute based on the identifier acquired by the access device and user information corresponding to print information printed on the card body. A new attribute value generating unit and a new attribute value generated by the new attribute value generating unit are additionally registered in the user information storage unit as new user information relating to the user having user information corresponding to the print information. If a user information registration means is further provided, an attribute value relating to an attribute different from the attribute value stored so far in the user information storage unit is generated as a new attribute value. By registering as new user information based on a unique identifier in the user information storage unit, user information related to each user is satisfied. This new user information enables easy and accurate differentiation between user information related to one user and user information related to another user, and relates to each user stored in the user information storage unit. User information can be reliably identified.

  In order to ensure the identification of each ID card using the new user information registered in the user information storage unit, the new attribute value registration means registers the user information storage unit in the user information storage unit. It is preferable to further provide new write information output means for outputting the new attribute value to the access device as new write information to be written to the storage medium. If it is such, one ID card and another ID card can be differentiated reliably by the identifier and new user information which were recorded on each ID card storage medium.

  Furthermore, when printing the print information on the card body, not only the user information stored in the user information storage unit is printed, but the user information can be printed in a layout that meets the user's needs or preferences. In order to do this, the database device has a layout information storage unit that stores information relating to the print layout on the card body as layout information, and the database device acquires predetermined layout information from the layout information storage unit. A print information generation unit that generates the print information by combining the acquired layout information and the user information, and the print information output unit of the database management system generates the print information by the print information generation unit; It is preferable to output print information to the printing device. . Here, in the print information generation unit, the user information combined with the acquired layout information is user information relating to a predetermined user stored in the user information storage unit in the first embodiment, In the second embodiment, the user information is input using the input device for printing on the card body.

  Further, in order to store user information corresponding to print information and an identifier of an ID card provided with a card body on which the print information is printed, as user information related to one user, in the user information storage unit One or both of the database device and the access device has a display device for displaying the user information corresponding to the print information output by the print information output means of the database device as display information. Then, the database device outputs display information to the display device as display information for causing the display device to display the user information corresponding to the print information output to the printing device by the print information output device. The identifier receiving means outputs the display information output means to the display device. The identifier of the storage medium attached to the card body printed with the user information corresponding to the displayed display information as print information and the identifier acquired by the access device accessing the storage medium, Anything can be accepted from the access device. Here, “output to display device” is a concept including both “output screen to display device” or “transmit output to display device”. Specifically, the database device displays If the access device has a display device, “output to the display device” means “output the screen to the display device”. On the other hand, if the access device has a display device, “output to the display device” means “display device” It means “to send out output”. In such a case, the display information displayed on the screen of the display device is referred to, and an ID card having a card body printed with user information corresponding to the display information as print information is held over or set on the access device. Thus, the identifier stored in the storage medium of the ID card can be acquired by the access device. The acquired identifier can be registered in the user information storage unit as new user information related to one user in association with user information corresponding to display information, that is, user information corresponding to print information. In the storage unit, it is possible to prevent a problem that the acquired identifier is erroneously registered as new user information related to another user, and high reliability is given to the user information registered in the user information storage unit. It becomes possible and it becomes rich in practicality.

  As described above, according to the present invention, compared to the above-described conventional plastic ID card or the like, it is not necessary to mold a predetermined mold in advance when creating an ID card. The ID card can be created easily and easily at a low cost regardless of the number of lots. As a result, it can be used in a relatively small office, home, etc., and has excellent versatility. In addition, since the user information corresponding to the print information and the identifier stored in the storage medium are stored in the user information storage unit in association with each other as user information relating to one user, the user information information storage unit The ID card can be accurately managed based on the user information stored in the card.

  Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  An ID card management system S according to the present embodiment, which is schematically shown in FIG. 1, is integrally provided with a storage medium C1 storing a unique identifier and a card body C2 on which predetermined print information can be printed. An ID card C, a printer P that is a printing device that prints predetermined print information on the card body C2 of the ID card C, and a reader R that is an access device that can read the storage medium C1 of the ID card C. And a database device D capable of information communication with the printer P and the reader R. The present embodiment described below is an example in which the ID card management system S is applied to a company where a plurality of employees work.

  As described above, the ID card C is composed of the storage medium C1 and the card body C2. In the present embodiment, an IC chip capable of non-contact information communication using an RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) method is applied as the storage medium C1. Each storage medium C1 stores a different unique identifier (serial number). By attaching this identifier to the ID card C, each ID card C has a different identifier (hereinafter referred to as a card identifier). ) Will be granted. In this embodiment, an electromagnetic induction method (a method of communicating with an IC chip while supplying power to the IC chip using an electromagnetic induction effect) is adopted as the RFID method. However, the present invention is not limited to this. Various methods such as a wave method (a method for communicating with an IC chip using a microwave band) and an optical method (a method for communicating with an IC chip using light waves such as infrared rays) may be employed.

  On the other hand, in this embodiment, the card body C2 is formed from the label paper LP with the film L1.

  Here, the label sheet LP will be described. For example, the label sheet LP is shown in FIG. 2 (FIG. 2A is a plan view of the label sheet LP viewed from the label sheet L3 side, and FIG. As shown in the AA line end view), the film L1, the release paper L2, and the label paper L3 are laminated in this order. The release paper L2 and the film L1 have substantially the same plan view dimensions as the label paper L3, and cannot be visually recognized by the label paper L3 in FIG. Therefore, for convenience of explanation, in the same figure, the reference numerals of the release paper L2 and the film L1 are attached in parentheses after the reference numerals of the label paper L3. In addition, the reference numerals given in parentheses in FIG. 3 to be described later have substantially the same planar view dimensions as the parts or areas indicated by the reference numerals immediately before or immediately above the parentheses, and members or areas that are not visible on the drawing. It points out.

  The label paper LP is formed with a first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer L4 on one surface of the film L1 and in contact with the release paper L2, and also on one surface of the label paper L3 and in contact with the release paper L2. A second pressure-sensitive adhesive layer L5 is formed on the surface. In the present embodiment, for example, the first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer L4 is configured using a solvent-type acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive, and the second pressure-sensitive adhesive layer L5 is configured using an emulsion-type acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive. Of course, each of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layers L4 and L5 may be formed using another pressure-sensitive adhesive. Although not shown, the release paper L2 has a first release treatment layer formed on the surface facing the first adhesive layer L4 side of the film L1 and faces the second adhesive layer L5 of the label paper L3. A second release treatment layer is formed on the surface. Each of these release treatment layers is formed by applying, for example, a silicon resin solution as a release treatment agent to the surface facing the first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer L4 side of the film L1 and the surface facing the second pressure-sensitive adhesive layer L5 of the label paper L3. It was formed and set so that it peels preferentially with respect to the first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer L4 of the film L1 over the second pressure-sensitive adhesive layer L5 of the label paper L3 by appropriately adjusting the silicon coating amount. ing.

  In addition, a film having transparency such as transparent or translucent is applied as the film L1, and the label paper L3 is made of a material on which a predetermined printing content can be printed by the printer P, particularly in the present embodiment, an ink jet. Printer mat paper is applied. The other surface of the label paper L3, that is, the surface on which the second pressure-sensitive adhesive layer L5 is not formed is defined as a printing surface L3A on which a predetermined printing content can be printed. In addition, a common first separation line La for punching is formed in the label paper L3 and the release paper L2 so as to continuously penetrate the label paper L3 and the release paper L2 in the thickness direction. The first label section L3a and the second label section L3b, and the first and second release sections L2a and L2b having the same plane dimensions in the regions on the label paper L3 and the release paper L2 surrounded by the one outline separation line La In addition, the first label section L3a and the second label section L3b are separated from each other, and the first fold line Lc that divides the first separation section L2a and the second separation section L2b is sandwiched therebetween. The first label section L3a and the second label section L3b, and the first peeling section L2a and the second peeling section L2b, which are integrally formed in this way, are separated from the label paper LP along the first contour separation line La. It is set to be possible. On the other hand, the film L1 has a substantially similar shape that is slightly larger than the first contour separation line La and has a cut portion that penetrates in the thickness direction of the film L1 and a non-cut portion that does not penetrate in the thickness direction of the film L1. A first film section L1a and a second film section that form second contour separation lines Lb that are alternately arranged and have the same planar dimensions in a region on the film L1 surrounded by the single second contour separation line Lb. L1b is integrally formed with a second fold line Ld separating the first film section L1a and the second film section L1b. The first film section L1a and the second film section L1b formed integrally as described above are set to be separable from the label sheet LP along the second contour separation line Lb. The reason why the second contour separation line Lb is set slightly larger than the first contour separation line La is to secure a margin for pasting the film sections L1a and L2b using the first adhesive layer L4. Because. In the present embodiment, the first contour segment L1a and the second film segment L1b surrounded by the second contour separation line Lb are separated from the other regions in the film L1 so as to be easily separated. The length of each non-cut portion constituting the separation line Lb is set to 0.2 mm. Needless to say, the length of the uncut portion is not limited to this. Unless the predetermined force is applied, the film L1 is not separated from the label paper LP, and the label paper L3 and the release paper L2 are cut by the first contour separation line La, but the first adhesive layer L4 and the second adhesive layer L4 are cut. It is held on the film L1 through the adhesive layer L5 and maintains the form of the label paper LP as a whole. In this embodiment, each label section L3a, L3b and each peeling section L2a, L2b surrounded by the first contour separation line La and each film section L1a, L1b surrounded by the second contour separation line Lb are A4 size. The label paper LP is provided at four locations.

  Next, a method of creating the card body C2 from the label paper LP having such a configuration will be described with reference to FIG. First, predetermined printing information is printed on the printing surface L3A of the label paper L3 via the printer P (FIG. 1A), and then the first label section L3a and the second label are taken along the first contour separation line La. When the section L3b, the first peeling section L2a, and the second peeling section L2b are peeled off from the label paper LP, the peeling operation between the peeling paper L2 and the first adhesive layer L4 is performed between the peeling paper L2 and the second peeling paper L2. Since it is performed with priority over the peeling operation with the adhesive layer L5, the label sections L3a and L3b and the peeling sections L2a and L2b are separated from the label paper LP in a state of being overlaid ((b) in the figure). ). In this state, an opening Ls surrounded by the first contour separation line La is formed in the label paper L3 and the release paper L2 by the separation of the label sections L3a and L3b and the release sections L2a and L2b. In this opening Ls, the first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer L4 of the film L1 is exposed, and the label sections L3a and L3b and the peeling sections L2a and L2b in the multilayer state are turned over, and the printing surface of the first label section L3a L3A is affixed to the first adhesive layer L4 of the first film section L1a, and the second label section L3b and the second release section L2b are first so that the first release section L2a and the second release section L2b face each other. Bend along the first fold line Lc to the label section L3a and the first peeling section L2a side ((c) in the figure). Subsequently, along the second contour separation line Lb provided in the film L1, the first film section L1a and the second film section L1b are labeled paper together with the label sections L3a and L3b and the peeling sections L2a and L2b in a multilayered state. By peeling from the LP, a card body C2 is formed by laminating the first label section L3a with the first film section L1a ((d) in the figure, the card body C2 shown in (d) is the film section L1a. This is a view from the L1b side). The opening Ls surrounded by the first contour separation line La is hollow.

  Thus, in the present embodiment, the storage medium C1 is sandwiched between the first peeling section L2a and the second peeling section L2b in the card body C2 thus created, and the second label section is separated by the second film section L1b. The second film section L1b is folded to the first film L1a side along the second fold line Ld so that L3b is laminated, and the label sections L3a and L3b are faced with each other sandwiched from the outside and each label section When the L3a and L3b and the excess portions (paste margins) of the respective film sections L1a and L1b existing on the entire circumference of the peeling sections L2a and L2b are bonded together by bonding the first pressure-sensitive adhesive layers L4, Each film section L1 that sandwiches the storage medium C1 between the separation sections L2a and L2b of C2 and corresponds to the printing surface L3A of each other One of the ID card C was laminated are formed by L1b (FIG (e-1), (e-2)). In addition, after turning over each label section L3a, L3b and each peeling section L2a, L2b in a laminated state, each peeling section L2a, L2b is peeled off from each corresponding label section L3a, L3b, and the first folding line Lc and the second folding line Lc. The labels facing each other in a state where the label sections L3a, L3b and the films L1a, L1b face each other along the fold line Ld and the storage medium C1 is sandwiched between the facing label sections L3a, L3b. Attaching the sections L3a and L3b to each other using the second pressure-sensitive adhesive layer L5, and sticking the adhesive margins of the facing film sections L1a and L1b to each other using the first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer L4 C may be formed. In addition, when the latter aspect is adopted, if the adhesive strength using the second adhesive layer L5 between the label sections L3a and L3b facing each other is sufficient, the margin portions of the film sections L1a and L1b are connected to each other. Since there is no need to apply using the first adhesive layer L4, the first contour separation line La and the second contour separation line Lb provided on the label paper LP are set on the same line to secure the paste margin portion. It does not have to be. The method of creating the label sheet LP and the card body C2 from the label sheet LP is an example, and the card body C2 may be formed from a label sheet having another form.

The process of generating a CSV user information file is performed by automatically recording (updating) and overwriting in the CSV format. In the following description, CSV format user information recorded in the CSV user information file is referred to as CSV user information.

  The print information generation unit D2 combines the layout information acquired from the layout information storage unit DC by the database device D and the user information recorded in the file related to the predetermined employee acquired from the user information database DB, In this embodiment, the layout information acquired from the layout information storage unit DC and the CSV user information file generated by the CSV user information file generating means D1 are included in the process of generating print information to be printed on the main body C2. A process of generating print information to be printed on the card body C2 by combining with the recorded CSV user information is performed.

  The print information output unit D3 is a process in which the database apparatus D performs processing for outputting the print information generated by the print information generation unit D2 to the printer P.

  The display information output means D4 uses the display device Df, and the database device D displays user information corresponding to the print information output to the printer P by the print information output means D3 on the display device Df. As a display information to be displayed, a screen output process is performed on the display device Df.

  The card identifier accepting means D5 is a process in which the database device D accepts an input of the card identifier output by the card identifier output means R2 of the reader R. The card identifier received by the card identifier receiving means D5 constitutes one ID card C together with the card body C2 printed as user information corresponding to the display information output to the display device Df by the display information output means D4. This can match the card identifier of the storage medium C1.

  The card identifier registration unit D6 is a print in which the database device D prints the card identifier received by the card identifier reception unit D5 on the card body C2 constituting one ID card C together with the storage medium C1 storing the card identifier. In association with the user information corresponding to the information, a process of registering in the user information database DB as new user information relating to the employee having the user information is performed.

  The CSV user information file initialization means D7 performs a process in which the database device D deletes and initializes all CSV user information recorded in the CSV user information file generated by the CSV user information file generation means D1. It is. Note that the file initialized by the CSV user information file initialization means D7 corresponds to the CSV dummy file.

  Hereinafter, the processing procedure of the ID card management system S and the operations associated therewith will be described with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIGS.

  First, the database device D displays a menu screen on the display device Df (FIG. 7, step 1 (indicated by reference numeral S1, hereinafter the same applies)). The menu screen is, for example, as shown in FIG. That is, in this example, “layout editing”, which is a notation for creating / changing layout information to be printed on the card body C2, a new ID card C is created, and the card identifier of the ID card C is set as the user information database DB. “New ID card C creation / registration”, which is a notation to register, and “End”, which is a notation to end the ID card management system S, are displayed on the screen as menus. When the database device D receives information indicating that a predetermined menu has been selected by the ID card administrator via the input device De from these menus (step 2), a program corresponding to the selected menu is appropriately selected. Executed.

  When “Layout Edit” is selected and entered, as shown in FIG. 8, first, the layout creation software is activated (Step 11), and if layout information is not stored in the layout information storage unit DC (Step 12). Y), the database device D accepts the input of layout information created by the ID card administrator through a predetermined operation via the input device De (step 13), and the layout information with the file name attached to the layout information Store in the storage unit DC (step 14). On the other hand, if layout information is already stored in the layout information storage unit DC (step 12; N), the database apparatus D accepts a selection input as to whether or not to change the layout information (step 15), and the layout When the information is changed (step 15; Y), the layout information already stored in the layout information storage unit DC by the database device D is changed to the layout information input by the ID card administrator through the input device De. It is changed (overwritten) (step 16), and the changed layout information is stored in the layout information storage unit DC (step 14).

  When “Create / Register New ID Card” is selected, the database device D displays an employee data input screen (not shown) on the display device Df of the database device D as shown in FIG. 9 (step 21). . If the user information related to the employee who will be the owner of the created ID card C (hereinafter referred to as “ID card owner”) is not stored in the user information database DB (step 22; Y). The database device D accepts user information relating to one or more ID card owners who are input via the input device De according to the instructions displayed on the employee data input screen by the ID card administrator (step 23), and the database When the device D receives the information that all the user information related to the created ID card holder is input (step 24; Y), the employee (in the file created for each employee) The user information related to the ID card holder is stored in the user information database DB in a state of being recorded in association with each other ( Step 25). At this time, it goes without saying that the user information related to the card ID related to each employee (scheduled owner of the ID card) is not stored in the user information database DB.

  After the user information related to the ID card holder is stored in the user information database DB, or when the user information related to the ID card holder is already stored in the user information database DB (step 22; N), The database device D records user information related to one or more ID card holders among the user information stored in the user information database DB by the CSV user information file generating means D1 in the CSV dummy file in the CSV format. (Update) to generate a CSV user information file. Further, in response to a predetermined operation performed by the ID card administrator via the input device De, the database device D calls the layout software and acquires layout information from the layout information storage unit DC (step 27). Then, the database device D is the layout information acquired from the layout information storage unit DC by the print information generating means D2, and the CSV user information recorded in the CSV user information file, and is associated with the layout information by an automatic link. The print information is generated by synthesizing the received CSV user information (step 28), and the print information is output to the printer P by the print information output means D3 (step 29).

  Subsequently, the printer P receives the print information output from the database device D by the print information receiving means P1, and prints the print information on the card body C2 by the printing means P2 (step 30). Specifically, the printing information is printed on the printing surface L3A of the label paper L3 on the label paper LP. Thereafter, the label paper LP on which the printing information is printed on the printing surface L3A is taken out manually from the printer P, and the storage medium C1 is sandwiched in the card body C on which the printing information is printed through the above-described ID card C creation procedure. One ID card C is created. The printer P may be set so that it can be automatically activated by an argument (for example, a file name of layout information).

  After creating the ID card C, the database device D causes the display information output means D4 to output the user information corresponding to the print information output to the printer P to the display device Df as display information (step 31). In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 10B, the employee name in the user information is output to the display device Df as display information. Of course, an attribute value related to an attribute other than the name, such as an employee code, may be output to the display device Df as display information. Subsequently, the ID card manager sets, in the reader R, the ID card C printed on the card body C2 as print information, with the user information displayed on the display device Df as display information while referring to the display information. Then (step 32; Y), the reader R reads the card identifier from the storage medium C1 of the ID card C set in the reader R by the card identifier acquisition means R1, and the acquired card identifier is stored in the database by the card identifier output means R2. When output to the device D, the database device D receives the card identifier output from the reader R by the card identifier receiving means D5 (step 33). Thus, the database apparatus D corresponds to the print information printed on the card body C2 constituting one ID card C together with the storage medium C1 storing the card identifier by the card identifier registration means D6. In association with the user information, it is registered and stored in the user information database DB as new user information relating to the user having the user information (see step 34, FIG. 6B). Then, the database device D displays on the display device Df a notation that the card identifier of the ID card C set in the reader R is registered in the user information database DB (for example, see FIG. 10C).

  When the database device D receives information that there is no other ID card C to be registered in the user information database DB (step 36; Y), the database device D uses the CSV user information file initialization means D7 to create a CSV user. All CSV user information recorded in the information file is erased and initialized (step 37). That is, the CSV user information file is used temporarily, thereby preventing user information from being inadvertently leaked and enhancing security. On the other hand, if there is another ID card C that registers card identifiers in the user information database DB (step 36; N), the card identifiers of all ID cards C are registered and stored in the user information database DB in the same manner as described above. Step 31 to Step 35 are repeatedly executed until this is done.

  In addition to “Edit Layout” and “Create New ID Card C”, a screen is displayed on the display device Df with a notation of “change employee data” for changing user information stored and managed in the user information database DB as a menu. May be. When this “change employee data” is selected, a program corresponding to this menu is appropriately executed. For example, the database device D acquires a file relating to an employee whose user information is changed from the user information database DB, and the ID When the card administrator performs an input operation such as correction / deletion of user information recorded in the file via the input device De or the like, the database device D accepts the changed user information and relates to the employee The user information may be changed (overwritten), and the changed user information may be stored in the user information database DB. Further, when a new ID card C is created with the change of the user information and the card identifier of the ID card C is registered in the user information database DB, Steps 26 to 37 may be executed.

  As described above, according to the ID card management system S according to the present embodiment, the ID card C can be easily and easily created by using the printer P. The initial production cost can be reduced. Further, predetermined print information can be freely printed on the card body C2 via the printer P, and the ID card C can be manufactured in a small lot. As a result, it is particularly useful when creating an ID card C to be distributed to a relatively small number of employees. In addition, in the user information database DB, the card identifier of the storage medium C1 incidental to the card body C2 can be recorded in a file including user information corresponding to the print information printed on the card body C2. High reliability can be given to the user information stored in the information database DB, and the ID card C can be managed accurately based on the user information stored in the user information database DB.

  In particular, among the user information stored in the user information case database DB of the database device D, since at least one user information is one attribute value related to one attribute that identifies the user, a plurality of ID cards C are created. Even in this case, it is possible to easily associate the user information related to one employee with the card identifier of the storage medium attached to the card body on which the user information is printed as print information. In the user information database DB, user information related to one employee and user information related to other users can be clearly distinguished from each other, and information relating to each ID card C can be suitably managed. .

  Further, since the user information corresponding to the print information is set to be displayed on the display screen of the database device D as display information, the ID card C to which the card identifier should be registered can be easily grasped. At the same time, while confirming the display information displayed on the display device Df on the screen, by setting the ID card C having the card body C2 on which the user information corresponding to the display information is printed as the print information to the reader R, the reader R The card identifier of the ID card C acquired via the user information is registered in the user information database DB as new user information relating to one employee in association with user information corresponding to display information, that is, user information corresponding to print information. Can be stored. As a result, it is possible to prevent a problem that the acquired card identifier is erroneously registered as new user information related to another user in the user information database DB.

  The present invention is not limited to the embodiment described in detail above.

  For example, in the embodiment, after user information is temporarily stored in the user information database DB, user information related to a predetermined employee (user) acquired from the user information database DB is used as print information for printing on the card body C2. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and user information input using the input device for printing on the card body may be used as print information for printing on the card body as it is. . In this case, the print information generation means provided in the database device combines the layout information acquired from the layout information storage unit with the user information itself input using the input device for printing on the card body. Processing to generate print information to be printed on the card body is performed. Then, after the print information is output to the printer P by the print information output means, the ID card is printed together with the card body on which the print information is printed by going through substantially the same procedure as the procedure after step 30 (FIG. 9). The card identifier of the storage medium constituting the card is associated with the user information input using the input device for printing on the card body, and is input using the input device as new user information relating to the user By setting it to be stored in the user information database together with the user information, the user information input using the input device intended to be printed on the card body is not simply used as print information, but the ID card can be used. It can also be diverted as information for management.

  In addition, for example, as shown in FIG. 11, a reader / writer RW having a function capable of reading and writing with respect to the storage medium C1 of the ID card C may be applied as the access device. User information corresponding to the print information output to the printer P by the print information output means D3 is written to the reader / writer RW as the access device as write information to be written in the storage medium C1 attached to the card body C2 on which the print information is printed. Write information that further includes write information output means D8 for outputting, and on the other hand, the reader / writer RW receives the write information that is output from the database apparatus D by the write information output means D8 of the database apparatus D. The receiving unit RW3 and the writing information received by the writing information receiving unit RW3 with respect to the storage medium C1 Or as further comprising a first writing means RW4 written in association with the identifier. Then, as shown in the flowchart in FIG. 12, for example, following step 34 in the above embodiment, the database device D uses the write information output means D8 to correspond to the print information stored in the user information database DB. The information is output to the reader / writer RW as write information, and the reader R continues to receive the write information from the database device D by the write information receiving means RW3, and the write information is stored in the storage medium by the first writing means RW4. By writing to C1 (step 34 ′), the user information stored in the user information database DB can be used not only as print information but also as write information. That is, the user information stored in the user information database DB can be shared as print information and write information. As a result, user information corresponding to the write information recorded in the storage medium C1 and user information The user information stored in the database DB can be reliably matched, and the mistake at the time of creating the ID card C that the print information printed on the card body C2 is different from the write information written on the storage medium C1. Can be effectively prevented. Further, by using the user information stored in the user information database DB as the write information as it is, the user information stored in the user information database DB is not used as the write information by a separate appropriate operation. Compared to the case where newly generated (input) information is applied, it is possible to effectively simplify and increase the efficiency of the operation procedure.

  In addition, in the user information database DB, as shown in FIG. 13, in order to ensure the identifiability of the user information related to each user and to easily and accurately differentiate the user information related to other users, D, new attribute value generation that generates a new attribute value that is an attribute value related to a new attribute based on the card identifier acquired by the reader / writer RW and the user information corresponding to the print information printed on the card body C2. A new user who additionally registers the new attribute value generated by the means D9 and the new attribute value generating means D9 in the user information storage database DB as new user information relating to the user having user information corresponding to the print information Information registration means D10 may be further provided. In addition, in order to ensure the identification of each ID card C itself using the new user information registered in the user information database DB, the user information is stored in the database device D by the new user information registration means D10. New write information output means D11 for outputting new user information registered in the database DB to the reader / writer RW as new write information to be written in the storage medium C1 may be further provided. In this case, the new write information receiving means RW5 for receiving new write information output from the database apparatus D by the new write information output means D11 of the database apparatus D, and the new write information receiving means RW5. And a second writing means RW6 for writing the new writing information received in step S1 to the storage medium C1. Then, as shown in the flowchart of FIG. 14, for example, following step 34 or step 34 ′ in the above embodiment, the database device D uses the new attribute value generation means D9 to obtain the card identifier acquired by the reader / writer RW, Based on the user information corresponding to the print information printed on the card body C2, a new attribute value that is an attribute value related to a new attribute, for example, a unique ID that is an identifier indicating a unique value is generated (step 40). The new user information registration means D10 additionally registers this unique ID in the user information database DB as new user information relating to an employee having user information corresponding to the print information (step 41, see FIG. 15). Subsequently, the database apparatus D outputs the unique ID to the reader / writer RW as new write information to be written in the storage medium C1 by the new write information output means D11, and the reader / writer RW continues to output the new write information reception means. If the new write information is received from the database device D by the RW 3 and the new write information is written to the storage medium C 1 by the second writing means RW 6 (step 42), the ID card management system having the above-described effects S can be used. Further, following step 42, the database apparatus D acquires new write information from the storage medium C1 of the ID card C via the reader / writer RW, and the unique ID corresponding to the acquired new write information is the user information. Whether or not it matches with the unique ID stored in the database DB (step 43), and if both unique IDs match (step 43; Y), the process proceeds to the next step. The unique ID stored in the storage medium C1 and the unique ID stored in the user information database DB can be reliably matched, and the ID card C can be managed more accurately using the unique ID. The unique ID is preferably automatically generated according to a program stored in the storage device Dc or the like so as not to overlap.

  Moreover, although the display device for displaying the display information on the screen has been provided in the database device, the display device may be provided in an access device such as a reader or a reader / writer. In this case, the database device transmits the display information to the display device of the access device by the display information output means, and the access device accepts the input of the display information and causes the display device to display the screen. That's fine. In this case, the ID card corresponding to the access device can be set as it is while viewing the display information displayed on the display device of the access device, and the display displayed on the display device of the database device one by one. Compared with the case where the ID card is set in the access device by looking at the information, it is more convenient to use. A display device may be provided in each of the database device and the access device.

  In addition, the specific configuration of each part is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

  The time card system described below may be configured by using the ID card management system detailed above.

  This time card system, for example, registers at least a card identifier in a user information database of a database device and has an ID card owned by an employee and an access device (reader or reader) that can be read from or written to a storage medium of the ID card. Reader / writer) and an attendance management device capable of information communication with the access device. The attendance and attendance management device is a normal information processing device having a database function and a database management function, and is installed by storing known work management software in a storage device such as a hard disk. A sub-user information database for storing sub-user information obtained by copying the user information in the user information database of the database device, and attendance information for employees who have ID cards (hereinafter referred to as ID card holders). It is used as a time and attendance information database that stores. In the attendance / leaving information database, one file is created for each card identifier corresponding to the card identifier stored in the sub-user information database, and attributes such as attendance time, attendance time, etc. are used.

  And when the ID card holder sets his / her ID card in the access device at the time of going to work or leaving work, the attendance / leaving management device acquires the card identifier of the ID card via the access device, and the acquired ID card In the file having the attribute value, the time when the ID card is set in the access device is recorded in the attendance / leaving information database in association with the card identifier as the attendance time or attendance time. As a result, the attendance and attendance information of each ID card holder is accurately recorded in the attendance and attendance information database, and the attendance and attendance information is transmitted in a predetermined format on a monthly basis to, for example, the database device. If the attendance / leaving information is printed in a predetermined format, the attendance record of the ID card holder can be easily and accurately grasped.

  The time card system described above is an example using an ID card management system, and various systems such as entrance / exit management may be configured using the ID card management system according to the present invention.
