For example, an IC card or a magnetic card is applied to these cards. In addition, these cards have user information entered on the application form at the time of card application, and are stored in the storage area of the IC card or magnetic card using that information, or embossed on the surface of the card. Etc. are done. The created card is attached to the card mount, sealed in an envelope, and sent to each user. Here, when the card is attached to the mount, one card or a plurality of cards of the same type is attached to one mount.

  In the prior art described above, when creating cards, it is common to create cards of the same bill face together. For example, if there are multiple types of cards issued by a single card company, such as credit cards, revolving cards, and point cards, 500 credit cards, 300 revo cards, and 600 point cards are manufactured. And so on. Therefore, in this case, it is possible to reduce shipping charges as a whole by attaching cards of different ticket types to the mount and enclosing them in an envelope for shipping to users with the same destination.

  However, according to the above-described prior art, when different ticket types are attached to a single mount, since each card is created together, it is manually sorted for each destination for each card type, I looked for the same shipping card and manually attached it to the mount. Therefore, it takes time to attach the card to the mount, and there is a problem that the burden on the worker is increased. In addition, there is a problem that the order of the cards is wrong, the time of the card rearrangement work is long, and extra time, man-hours and time are generated.

  The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and the object thereof is a card mounting system, a card mounting method, and a card mounting program that can reduce the labor required when mounting cards of different ticket types on a mount. Is to provide.

  Next, a part of the function of the card mounting system in FIG. 1 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 is a schematic block diagram showing the configuration of the card mounting system according to the embodiment of the present invention. In this figure, the stacker 110 has the same function as the stacker 110 shown in FIG. The stack information storage unit 120 stores position information indicating a position where the card is stored in the stacker 110 and card identification information given to the stored card in association with each other. An example of information stored in the stack information storage unit 120 is shown in FIG. Here, as the position information stored in the stacker 110, for example, different numbers are set in order from the upper surface side to the lower surface side of the stacker 110, and these numbers correspond to the position information. A position within 110 can be identified. In addition, when a plurality of cards are attached to a single mount, the card identification information corresponding to the single mount identification information is set in the plurality of cards.

Here, the card identification information corresponding to one board identification information may be all the same card identification information as long as the card to be attached to one board can be identified. It may be information that only the parts match. Of the card identification information, one card identification information includes parent information indicating that it is a parent card, and the other card identification information is a card that is a child to the parent. Child information is included. The parent information and child information are provided, for example, as information indicating that a single digit of the card identification information indicates a flag, and is set as parent information when the flag is on and as child information when the flag is off. Also good.
Also, here, as an example of a card having a parent-child relationship, a case where the same user issues a plurality of cards, one is a credit card as a parent card, and at least one or more cards are issued. Revo cards that are child cards, membership cards, and the like.

  The card reading unit 130 reads card identification information from a card to be attached. For example, a magnetic reader / writer that reads card identification information stored in the magnetic tape portion of the magnetic card or an IC reader / writer that reads card identification information stored in the IC of the IC card is used as the card reading unit 130. A barcode reader, a CCD (Charge-Coupled Device) camera, an OCR reader, or the like that applies or reads a barcode on a card face, a stamp number, or the like is applied. The card reading unit 130 corresponds to, for example, a reader / writer provided in the card inspection unit 60 described with reference to FIG.

  The storage unit 140 stores the card read by the card reading unit 130 in the stacker 110, and stores the stack information in association with the card identification information of the stored card and the position information corresponding to the position stored in the stacker 110. Write to unit 120. This storage unit 140 needs to be stored in the stacker 110 among the cards conveyed by the card conveyance unit 70 (FIG. 1) based on the reading result obtained by reading the card surface by the card inspection unit 60 (FIG. 1). A certain card, that is, a card in which card identification information including child information is included in the card identification information is stored in the stacker 110.

  The mount reading unit 150 is a mount transported by the mount transport unit 50, and reads the mount identification information printed on the mount. The mount reading unit 150 corresponds to, for example, an OCR reading device provided in the mount transport unit 50 of FIG. For example, the mount identification information includes the same information as the card identification information in a predetermined number of digits, and is combined with the number information indicating the number of cards to be attached to the mount. Specifically, when three cards having the card identification information “AA” are attached, the board identification information is given as “3-AA”, and the predetermined number of digits of the board identification information By checking whether the card identification information matches, it is detected whether the card should be attached to the mount.

  The card removal unit 160 searches the stack information storage unit for the position information of the card in which the card identification information corresponding to the mount identification information read by the mount reading unit 150 is set, and based on the search result, the position information Remove the card from the storage location corresponding to. In addition, when there are a plurality of card identification information corresponding to the mount identification information, that is, when there are a plurality of cards to be attached to one mount, the card removal unit 160 sets the card identification information corresponding to the mount identification information. Each card thus taken out is taken out from the stacker 110.

The card attachment unit 170 attaches the card taken out by the card removal unit 160 to the mount. Further, the card attachment unit 170 attaches the card with the parent information set to the mount and removes the card corresponding to the card identification information with the child information corresponding to the card identification information with the parent information set. It is taken out from the stacker 110 by the unit 160 and attached to the mount. This attachment is performed by sticking the card to the mount using an adhesive member such as an adhesive tape, or by inserting the card into a notch provided in advance on the mount.
The combination of the card removal unit 160 and the card attachment unit 170 corresponds to the attachment device 80 in FIG.

  Next, the operation of the card mounting system 1 shown in FIGS. 1 and 3 will be described using the flowcharts of FIGS. 5 and 6. Here, issuance data including personal information necessary for issuing cards and information specifying the ticket type is stored in the database, and the user issuance data stored in this database is stored in this database. A case will be described in which a mount is printed and transported by the mount transport unit 50 in order. A case will be described in which the card is transported after the child card by the card inspection unit 60 according to the order of the user issuance data stored in the database.

  First, the board carrying unit 50 carries the board (reference c) and reads the board identification information by the OCR reader (reference a in FIG. 5, step S101 in FIG. 6). On the other hand, the card inspection unit 60 reads the card identification information by a reader / writer (magnetic reader / writer, IC reader / writer, etc.) while transporting the card (reference symbol b) (step c102 in FIG. 5, step S102 in FIG. 6). The board identification information that is the read result is stored in a predetermined memory of the card attachment unit 170.

On the other hand, the storage unit 140 detects whether or not the read card is a parent card based on the card identification information read by the reader / writer (magnetic reader / writer, IC reader / writer, etc.) of the card inspection unit 60. (FIG. 6, step S103). Here, the parent information or the child information is identified by referring to the flag given to the card identification information.
When the detection result is not a parent card, that is, a child card, the storage unit 140 stores the card transported from the card inspection unit 60 to the card transport unit 70 in the stacker 110 (reference numeral d in FIG. 5, step S104 in FIG. 6). ), The stored position information of the stacker 110 is stored in the stack information storage unit 120 in association with the card identification information (step S105 in FIG. 6). Then, the process proceeds to step S102.
Here, since the child card is transported before the parent card among the cards to which the same card identification information is given, the child cards are sequentially stored in the stacker 110 by performing the processing from step S102 to step S105. The position information is stored.

On the other hand, when the detection result is the parent card, the storage unit 140 does not store the card corresponding to the parent card. Cards that are not stored are transported from the card transport section 70 to the mount transport section 50 (reference numeral e in FIG. 5).
When it is detected that the parent card has been conveyed based on the reading result of the card reading unit 130, the card attachment unit 170 compares the card identification information of the parent card with the mount identification information stored in the memory of the storage unit 140. (Step S106 in FIG. 6). If the card identification information of the parent card and the information of the predetermined number of digits of the mount identification information do not match (NO in step S107 in FIG. 6), either the card or the mount is transferred to the lower part of the transfer unit 85 by the mount transfer unit 50. Selected to be placed in a box and transported.

On the other hand, when the card identification information of the parent card and the information of the predetermined number of digits of the mount identification information match (step S107-YES in FIG. 6), the card attachment unit 170 attaches the parent card to the mount (see f in FIG. 5). FIG. 6 step S108). Then, it is searched whether or not card identification information that matches the card identification information of the parent card is stored in the stack information storage unit 120 (step S109 in FIG. 6).
When the card identification information that matches the card identification information of the parent card is not stored in the stack information storage unit 120, the card attachment unit 170 detects that there is no child card and ends the card attachment operation on the mount. (FIG. 6, step S110). Then, the process proceeds to step S101. Here, the mount on which the attachment work has been completed is transported to the transport unit 85 by the mount transport unit 50 and transported to the card / mounting card check 90, and a determination process is performed to determine whether the combination of the mount and the card is correct.

  On the other hand, when the card identification information matching the parent card is retrieved from the stack information storage unit 120, the card removal unit 160 refers to the position information corresponding to the retrieved card identification information (step S111 in FIG. 6), and The card stored at the position corresponding to the position information is taken out from the stacker 110 (reference numeral g in FIG. 5, step S112 in FIG. 6). The card attaching unit 170 attaches the child card taken out by the card removing unit 160 to the mount following the parent card (reference numeral h in FIG. 5, step S113 in FIG. 6).

Next, a card inspection system used in the above card mounting system will be described.
FIG. 7 is a schematic block diagram showing the configuration of a card inspection system to which the card inspection apparatus 1a according to one embodiment of the present invention is applied.
In this figure, a card inspection device 1a is connected to a registration terminal 2 via a network.
The registration terminal 2 receives and stores issuance data to be stored in the issued card in advance from the card creation requester, and stores the stored issuance data in the issuance data storage unit 11 of the card inspection apparatus 1a. As a method of receiving this issuance data from the card creation requesting trader, it may be received from the card creation requesting trader's terminal and stored, or the issuance data stored in the recording medium is received from the card creation requesting trader, You may make it read and memorize | store by the terminal 2 for registration.
Here, the “issue data” is information that can be stored in the storage area of the issued card, and indicates, for example, a card issuer code, a ticket type code that specifies the type of card, and a lot in which the card is created. The lot number, read data stored uniquely in the card 3, and the like are included. In addition, information regarding the inspection result obtained by performing a card inspection process described later is added and stored. In addition, a part or all of the issued data is stored in a card recording medium.
In this embodiment, “issue” means a process of writing personal information and common information on a recording medium such as a card, and “shipping” means a member who uses the issued card. To send to.

  The card 3 is a card for shipping to a member who uses the card, and issuance data is stored. After the card inspection process is performed by the card inspection device 1a, the card 3 is shipped to the member. The card 3 is provided with a recording medium for storing part or all of the issued data, and corresponds to, for example, a contact / non-contact IC card. In addition to the IC card, it may be a magnetic card provided with a storage medium such as a magnetic tape as long as it can record issued data, and the IC card and the magnetic card are combined into one card. It may be. As a method for storing the issuance data, it may be stored by embossing or printing on the surface of the card 3.

  Here, depending on the card 3, magnetic tape, IC, embossing, printing on the face of the card, etc. are combined in various ways depending on the ticket type, so that one card is provided. By specifying the ticket type code, the magnetic tape, It is possible to specify whether information is stored by any of the methods of IC, embossing, and ticket printing. Further, since it is determined in advance in which storage area the card identification information (described later) is stored according to the ticket type code, the storage area of the card identification information is specified and read based on the ticket type code. It is possible. In addition, depending on the ticket type, there is a type that does not need to be attached to the mount, so by referring to a table stored in advance by associating the ticket type code with information on whether to attach to the mount, Based on this, it is possible to specify whether to attach to the mount.

In the card inspection apparatus 1a, the issuance data storage unit 11 receives the card identification information for specifying the card 3 and the issuance data stored in the card from the registration terminal 2, and associates the card identification information with the issuance data. Add and remember. Hereinafter, the card identification information is referred to as a card ID.
The inspection target card specifying unit 12 outputs inspection target information for specifying a card to be inspected to the comparison unit 14 based on an instruction from the operator.
The reading unit 13 reads the card ID and the issuance data stored in the card 3 from the card 3 created based on the issuance data and to be inspected. The issued data and the card ID are a magnetic storage area stored on the magnetic tape, a contact IC storage area stored on the contact IC, a non-contact IC storage area stored on the non-contact IC, and a card surface of the card 3 Are distributed and stored in one or more of a barcode printed on the card, a card image that is designed to be printed on a ticket. As for which storage area of the card 3 issuance data and card ID are stored, a table in which a storage area to be read according to the card ticket type code is associated and stored is provided in the reading unit 13 in advance. By referring to this table, the storage area to be read can be specified. The reading unit 13 corresponds to, for example, the card reading unit 130 in FIG.

The comparison unit 14 reads issuance data corresponding to the inspection object information specified by the inspection object card designating unit 12 from the issuance data storage unit 11, and is read by the issuance data read from the issuance data storage unit 11 and the reading unit 13. Compare with the issued data.
The output unit 15 is a display device such as a CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) or a liquid crystal display device, or an audio output device such as a speaker, and outputs the comparison result of the comparison unit 14. By outputting the comparison result from the output unit 15, it is possible to notify an operator of an error.

The mount reading unit 16 reads information printed on the mount to which the card is attached and outputs the information to the extraction unit 17. This reading is performed by OCR (Optical Character Recognition). In addition, you may make it image with a digital camera. The mount reading unit 16 corresponds to the mount reading unit 150 of FIG.
'Mounting information' here is information for specifying the shipping target of the card 3, such as the card ID, the address to which the card 3 is sent, the name, the name of the member who owns the card 3, etc. , Is included.

The extraction unit 17 extracts the mount information from the data output from the mount reading unit 16.
The second comparison unit 18 has a function of checking the consistency between the card 3 and the mount. Specifically, the second comparison unit 18 has a function of comparing the issuance data read by the reading unit 13 and the mount information extracted by the extraction unit 17. Furthermore, the second comparison unit 18 performs data transfer from the mount on which the card 3 is mounted to the mount reading unit 16 after the card 3 is mounted on the mount based on an instruction from the mount consistency inspection instruction unit 20 described later. Is extracted from the read image data by the extraction unit 17 and issuance data is read from the card 3 attached to the mount by the reading unit 13, and the extracted mount information and the read issuance data are read out. Has a function to compare. That is, the second comparison unit 18 compares the issued data read from the card 3 before being attached to the mount and the mount information of the mount to which the card 3 is attached, and the card after being attached to the mount. 3 has a function of comparing the issued data read from 3 and the mount information of the mount to which the card 3 is attached.

  Based on the comparison result of the second comparison unit 18, the card attachment unit 19 uses the card 3 as a mount when the card identification information of the card 3 before the attachment matches the mount information to which the card 3 is to be attached. Install. This attachment is performed by sticking the card 3 on the mount using an adhesive member such as an adhesive tape or glue, or by sandwiching the card 3 in a notch provided in advance on the mount. The card attachment portion 19 corresponds to the card attachment portion 170 in FIG.

  After the card 3 is attached to the mount, the mount consistency inspection instruction unit 20 outputs an instruction to perform processing for detecting whether or not the attached card 3 and the mount coincide with each other. The data is output to the reading unit 16 and the second comparison unit 18. The detection of whether or not the card 3 and the mount coincide with each other is performed by, for example, the member to whom the card 3 is shipped and the contents printed on the mount (the address to be sent, the name, the name of the member to be shipped, the barcode) Information) is detected by detecting whether or not it matches.

Next, the operation of the card inspection apparatus 1a in the configuration of FIG. 7 will be described using the flowchart of FIG.
First, when an operator who operates the card inspection apparatus 1a inputs an instruction to register issued data to the registration terminal 2 (step S1), the registration terminal 2 determines the card ID and the card ID according to the pre-registered conditions. The issuance data is associated and registered in the issuance data storage unit 11 (step S2).

  Next, when the card ID, the ticket type code, the issuer, and the lot number of the card group to be inspected are input from the operator via the inspection target card designating unit 12, and the work instruction for starting the inspection is input (step S3). ), The comparison unit 14 reads out the issuance data corresponding to the card ID, the ticket type code, the issuer, and the lot number designated through the inspection target card designating unit 12 from the issuance data storage unit 11 (step S4). Here, the issuance data for the plurality of cards 3 instructed to be read is read out and temporarily stored in the comparison unit 14 as an issuance data list (step S5). When the card 3 is inserted to be inspected by the operator into the card inspection apparatus 1a (step S6), the reading unit 13 reads the ticket type code from the storage area of the inserted card 3 and reads the read ticket type code. Based on the table, a reading pattern is determined with reference to a table indicating which information should be read out of the magnetic storage area, the contact IC storage area, the non-contact IC storage area, the barcode, and the card image (step S7), In accordance with the determined reading pattern, the issued data and card ID are read from the card 3 (step S8), and the read issued data and card ID are temporarily stored (step S9).

  Next, the comparison unit 14 extracts the lot number, the card issuer code, and the read data from the issued data read from the card 3. Then, out of the issuance data read from the issuance data storage unit 11, the issuance data corresponding to the card ID read from the card 3 is identified from the issuance data list, the identified issuance data and the issuance data read from the card 3 are Are compared (step S10). In this comparison, whether or not the ticket type code, the lot number, the card issuer code, and the read data match is compared.

  The comparison unit 14 includes, in the comparison result, the ticket type code, lot number, card ticket issuer code, read data stored in the issued data storage unit 11, and the ticket type code, lot number, card issuer read from the card 3. If the code and the read data do not match (step S11—NO), an inspected file indicating the inspection result “error” is created, stored in the issued data storage unit 11 in association with the card ID, and card inspection It is discharged outside the device 1a (step S12).

  On the other hand, when the detection results match (step S11—YES), the comparison unit 14 detects whether it is necessary to attach to the mount based on the ticket type code with reference to the table (step S13). When it is not necessary to attach to the mount (step S13—NO), the comparison unit 14 creates an inspected file indicating the inspection result “no abnormality” (step S14), and associates it with the card ID in the issued data storage unit 11. Store (step S15). The contents of the created inspection file include inspection information, inspection date and time, date and time when the inspection result is registered, an inspection state flag indicating whether the inspection result is error or no abnormality, an inspection condition file name, and the like.

  On the other hand, when it is necessary to attach the comparison unit 14 to the mount (step S13—YES), the card attachment unit 19 conveys the card 3 by the card conveyance device. When the card 3 is transported, the mount is sequentially transported to the card mounting unit 19 by the mount transport device from the stack of mounts that are printed and overlaid in advance according to the order of the cards undergoing the card inspection process. The

  The mount reading unit 16 reads data printed on the mount transported to the card attachment unit 19 (step S16). When this reading is performed, the extraction unit 17 extracts the board information from the read data and outputs it to the second comparison unit 18.

  The second comparison unit 18 includes the issue data temporarily stored in the comparison unit 14 and the issue data corresponding to the card 3 conveyed to the card attachment unit 19 by the card conveyance device, and the mount information output from the extraction unit 17. Are compared (step S17). This comparison is based on the address and name of the card 3 included in the read data of the issued data, the name, the name of the owner of the card 3, the barcode information printed on the ticket, and the address and name of the card included in the mount information. The name of the member who becomes the owner of the card 3 and the barcode information printed on the mount are compared.

If the comparison result does not match (step S18—NO), the second comparison unit 18 issues an error notification (step S19).
On the other hand, when the comparison results match (step S18—YES), the second comparison unit 18 instructs the card attachment unit 19 to attach. The card attachment unit 19 attaches the card 3 to the mount based on the attachment instruction from the second comparison unit 18 (step S20). When the attachment is completed, the mount consistency inspection instruction unit 20 instructs the reading unit 13 and the mount reading unit 16 to read and also instructs the second comparison unit 18 to compare.

  The reading unit 13 reads the issuance data from the card 3 attached to the mount, based on the reading instruction from the mount consistency inspection instruction unit 20, and outputs it to the second comparison unit 18. The board reading unit 16 reads information printed from the board on which the card 3 is attached based on the reading instruction from the board consistency inspection instruction unit 20 and outputs the information to the extraction unit 17. The extraction unit 17 extracts the mount information from the information output from the mount consistency inspection instruction unit 20 and outputs it to the second comparison unit 18. The second comparison unit 18 compares the issuance data output from the reading unit 13 with the mount information output from the extraction unit 17 (step S21). Here, the reading unit 13 may read the embossed characters on the card face of the card and use the result as issuance data for comparison.

  If the comparison results do not match (step S22—NO), the second comparison unit 18 instructs the transport device to eject the mount on which the card 3 is attached as an error. Thereby, the mount on which the card 3 is attached is discharged as an error (step S23). Then, the second comparison unit 18 creates an inspection result file indicating the inspection result “card and mount do not match” (step S14), and stores the inspection result in association with the issue data in the issue data storage unit 11 ( Step S15).

  On the other hand, if the comparison results match (step S22—YES), the second comparison unit 18 instructs the transport device to transport the mount with the card 3 attached thereto to the shipping process. The mount on which the card 3 is attached is encapsulated in an envelope by the shipping process by the transport device (step S24), and then transported to the shipping process. Then, the second comparison unit 18 creates an inspection result file indicating the inspection result “No abnormality in consistency between the card and the mount” (step S14), and associates the inspection result with the issued data in the issued data storage unit 11. Store (step S15).

  In this embodiment, when a plurality of cards are attached to one mount, steps S102 to S103 in FIG. 6 are performed, and from step S10 to step S15 and step S17 each time a card is attached. Step S20 may be performed.

  In the embodiment described above, the card reading unit 130 reads the card identification information from the card to be attached, and the storage unit 140 writes the position information and the card identification information to the stack information storage unit 120. Is stored in the stacker 110 in advance, and the stored card position information and card identification information are stored in the stack information storage unit 120, so that the card reading unit 130 and the storage unit 140 are not provided. It is also possible.

  Further, the program for realizing the functions of the card reading unit 130, the storage unit 140, the mount reading unit 150, the card mounting unit 160, and the card mounting unit 170 of the card mounting system 1 in FIG. 3 is recorded on a computer-readable recording medium. Then, the card recording process may be performed by causing the computer system (card mounting system) to read and execute the program recorded on the recording medium. Here, the “computer system” includes an OS and hardware such as peripheral devices.

Further, the “computer system” includes a homepage providing environment (or display environment) if a WWW system is used.
The “computer-readable recording medium” refers to a storage device such as a flexible medium, a magneto-optical disk, a portable medium such as a ROM and a CD-ROM, and a hard disk incorporated in a computer system. Furthermore, the “computer-readable recording medium” dynamically holds a program for a short time like a communication line when transmitting a program via a network such as the Internet or a communication line such as a telephone line. In this case, a volatile memory in a computer system serving as a server or a client in that case, and a program that holds a program for a certain period of time are also included. The program may be a program for realizing a part of the functions described above, and may be a program capable of realizing the functions described above in combination with a program already recorded in a computer system.
