Description

  The present invention relates to a card creation system and method for creating a card printed with a name including a character (hereinafter referred to as an external character) that is not prepared in a standard character code when issuing a card that identifies an individual.

  In order to identify individuals such as employees, students and employees (hereinafter referred to simply as “employees”), identification cards (hereinafter referred to simply as “photographs”, “names”, etc.) Card) is often issued.

  Many of the names printed on the surface of the card can be displayed using a kanji font prepared in advance as a personal kanji. However, there are cases where special kanji and characters are used for notation of personal names. For example, image data of characters (external characters) other than characters set in standard character codes such as the first level and the second level. Must be created for printing.

External characters and external character information are collected and managed from each card creation system that created the card by registering the external characters to be printed on the ID card, and the external character information of each card creation system is subordinated to the same external character, A face image forming apparatus that can be used is known (for example, Patent Document 1).
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2001-8018

  In recent years, there are many companies and organizations that employ many foreign employees other than Japanese. In addition, the number of international students is also increasing at schools. When issuing an employee card or student card at such a company, school, etc., the company will be described as an example, but special characters are often included in the names of seasonal workers. Therefore, a special character of the name must be prepared as an external character. For example, it is necessary to register characters such as Chinese simplified characters, traditional Taiwanese characters, and special alphabets as external characters.

  In general, a card issuing operation is performed by a dedicated operator using a card issuing system. When the employee's name contains special characters, the operator created and registered external character image information using the character font creation function etc. while referring to the sample of the special characters handwritten by the employee. .

  Because the operator creates external character image information by referring only to handwritten samples of special characters, the details of the characters cannot be recognized, and the form of the external characters by the external character image information created by the operator is what the employee intended There were also many different. Then, the card on which the name is printed using the external character image information different from the character form intended by the employee is determined to be an error card containing an error, and the card needs to be reissued.

  As the number of employed foreign employees such as seasonal workers has increased, the burden of creating external character image information associated with card issuing operations has also increased. Therefore, there is a demand for a system that creates appropriate external character image information that allows an employee to recognize that an external character printed on a card is a character representing his / her name.

  The purpose of the present invention is to easily select an external character to be used by the employee himself / herself when creating a card that includes an external character in the name in a card creation system that issues a card that identifies the employee by printing the name. Or to provide a system that can be created.

  The present invention relates to a card creation system that creates a card that prints a name and identifies an employee, and includes a character other than a predetermined standard character in the name. 1) Identification for each employee Stores employee information including a number, a name character string printed on the card as a name, an external character flag indicating whether or not the name character string includes an external character, and information indicating the position of the external character in the name character string 2) a face photo information storage unit for storing each employee's face photo image information, and 3) external character image information of external characters printed on the card and attribute information indicating attributes of the external characters An external character information storage unit for storing external character information including 4) a card image information storage unit for storing card image information for issuing the card, and 5) an external character is included in the name character string of the employee information. An authentication means for issuing an external character editing password to an employee who is present, and authenticating whether the employee can perform external character editing operations using the input external character editing password; and 6) the employee of the employee Employee information reading means for extracting employee information from the employee information storage unit based on the number, and 7) Face photo image information reading for extracting the employee's face photo image information from the face photo information storage unit And 8) an external character search means for extracting external character information from the external character information storage unit using the external character attribute information designated by the employee as a search condition after authentication of whether or not the external character editing operation is possible, and 9) a predetermined The extracted employee information and face photo image information are pasted into the card image template data, and an instruction for selecting the employee from the external character information extracted by the external character search means is also provided. Characterized in that it comprises a card image creation means for creating the card images information one external character image information obtained by incorporating the position of the external character name string of the employee information.

  In the system of the present invention, for each employee, an identification number, a name character string printed as a name on a card, an external character flag indicating whether or not an external character is included in the name character string, and the name character string Employee information including information indicating the position of the external character of each, face image image information of each employee, external character information including external character image information printed on the card and attribute information indicating the attribute of the external character, respectively Store in the storage unit.

  Then, the authentication means refers to the employee information storage unit and issues a password for editing external characters to employees whose full name is included in the name character string of the employee information. Thereafter, whether or not the employee can perform the external character editing operation is authenticated based on the external character editing password input by the employee.

  The external character search means, when the external character editing operation of the employee is authenticated by the authentication means, extracts the external character information from the external character information storage unit using the external character attribute information designated by the employee as a search condition.

  Then, the employee information reading means extracts the employee information from the employee information storage unit based on the employee number of the employee, and the face photo image information reading unit reads the face photo image information of the employee as a face photo. Extract from the information storage unit. Then, the card image creation means pastes the extracted employee information and face photo image information into the predetermined card image template data, and based on the employee's selection instruction from the external character information extracted by the external character search means The acquired one external character image information is incorporated into the position of the external character in the name character string of the employee information to create card image information, which is stored in the card image information storage unit.

  As a result, when issuing a card to an employee with a name that includes an external character, the employee can directly select the appropriate external character from the external character information storage unit. You can create image information and issue cards.

  Furthermore, according to the present invention, when the above configuration is adopted, the external character information storage unit stores attribute information including category information indicating a predetermined classification of the external character as the external character information.

  External character information stored in the external character information storage unit includes external character image information and attribute information such as category information of the external characters such as kanji style, symbol style, and alphabet style, stroke number information, and reading information (yomikata). Including. The external character search means searches external character information using one or more attribute information designated by the employee as external character search conditions, and extracts corresponding external character image information as a search result.

  As a result, it is possible to more easily extract desired external character image information from the external character information storage unit by using attribute information that can be easily understood by employees unaccustomed to the external character image extraction operation without using a character code number. be able to. Even when a large amount of external character information is stored in the external character information storage unit, external characters can be extracted more efficiently from the search results narrowed down by the search conditions.

  According to the present invention, one external character image information acquired from the external character information extracted by the external character search means based on the employee's selection instruction is used as a correction target image, and the employee is identified from the correction target image. The image of the correction range specified based on the instruction is displayed as dot data enlarged at a predetermined magnification, the change state with respect to the dot data is retained, and the correction end image is received in response to the employee's correction end instruction. The external image correction means for generating new external character image information by replacing the correction range with the changed state, and the card image creation means pastes the employee information and the face photo image information into the card image template data. , The external character image information generated by the external character correcting means Characterized in that to create the card image information is incorporated in position.

  The external character correction means uses one external character image information acquired based on the employee's selection instruction from the external character information extracted by the external character search means and the selected normal standard character as an image to be corrected. Then, the image of the correction range specified from the correction target image is displayed as dot data enlarged at a predetermined magnification, and each time the employee performs a correction operation, the change state for the dot data is displayed. Keep it. In response to the correction end instruction from the employee, the correction range of the correction target image is replaced with the current change state, and new external character image information is generated.

  After that, the card image creation means pastes the employee information and the facial photograph image information into the card image template data, and incorporates the new external character image information generated by the external character correction means into the external character position of the full name character string. Create information.

  As a result, even if the external character information desired by the employee does not exist in the external character information storage unit, the expanded dot image of the external character image information is corrected based on the external character image information extracted as the search result. Can create the external character image information.

  Further, by enlarging and displaying the dot image in the designated range of the external character image information, the correction operation can be easily performed, and the accuracy of the correction result can be improved.

  Further, the present invention provides an external character information registration in which external character information in which attribute information including category information indicating a predetermined classification of the external character is added to the external character image information generated by the external character correction unit is stored in the external character information storage unit. Means are provided.

  As a result, the external character information newly generated by the external character correcting means can be stored in the external character information storage unit, so that the already registered external character information can be searched and used.

A card image creation unit 17 and an external character information registration unit 18. The card creation device 1 reads data in the employee database 31, face photo database 32, and external character database 33, and outputs card image data for issuing a card to the card image storage unit 34.

  FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating a data configuration example of the employee database 31. Employee information is stored in the employee database 31. Employee information includes, for each employee, an employee number that identifies the employee, the date of joining the company, a name (Kana) indicating how to read the employee's name (Yomi), and characters printed as the name on the issued card. It is composed of data items such as a name (notation) indicating a column and an external character flag indicating whether or not an external character is included in the name (notation).

  When an external character is included in the character string of the name (notation) of the employee information, the position of the external character is represented by “black circle”, and the external character flag = 1 is set. Note that an external character flag = 0 is set when an external character is not included. For example, the employee with the employee number “8265221” indicates that the reading of the name is “Inarou Hajime” and the first character (Ina) of the printed name (character string) is an external character.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating a data configuration example of the face photograph database 32. The face photograph database 32 stores face photograph image information. The face photo image information is made up of data items such as an employee number, a face photo image as the face photo image data of the employee, and the date of photographing the face photo for each employee.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating a data configuration example of the external character database 33. The external character database 33 stores external character information. The external character information includes data items such as a registration number for identifying an external character, external character image information that is external character image data, and attribute information for each external character. In this example, data items of external character category, reading, and number of strokes are provided as attribute information. The category is attribute information indicating a predetermined classification based on the form of the external character image. For example, categories such as kanji style, symbol style, alphabet style, and the like are prepared in advance. Note that there may be a case where information (value) is not set in data items such as reading and number of strokes of attribute information other than the category.

  The control unit 10 of the card creation device 1 is a processing unit that controls the operation of each processing unit in the card creation device 1.

  The input / output interface (input / output I / F) unit 11 is processing means for controlling data input or output with the user terminal 2.

  The authentication unit 12 authenticates the access of the employee who uses the user terminal 2 to the card making apparatus 1 and issues a password for editing external characters to employees whose names include external characters. It is a processing means for authenticating whether or not the member can perform an external character editing operation.

  Specifically, the authentication unit 12 compares the employee number of the employee input from the input instruction / correction unit 22 of the user terminal 2 with the employee number of the employee database 31 and accesses the card creation device 1. Authenticate, and if the name of the accessing employee contains a foreign character, that is, if the external character flag of the employee information of the employee is 1, issue a password for editing the external character and issue Authenticates whether or not an external character editing operation is possible.

  The employee information reading unit 13 is a processing unit that reads corresponding employee information from the employee database 31 based on the employee number input from the input instruction / correction unit 22 of the user terminal 2.

  The face photo information reading unit 14 is processing means for reading corresponding face photo image information from the face photo database 32 based on the employee number input from the input instruction / correction unit 22 of the user terminal 2.

  The external character search unit 15 is a processing means for extracting and reading out the corresponding external character information from the external character database 33 using the external character attribute information designated by the employee as a search condition after the authentication unit 12 authenticates whether the external character editing operation is possible. is there. The external character search unit 15 searches the external character database 33 using, for example, any one of category, reading, number of strokes, or a combination thereof as an external character search condition, and the user terminal 2 via the input / output interface unit 11. The display unit 21 displays the external character image information of the search result. The employee can select external character image information to be adopted as an external character or external character image information to be corrected for creating a new external character in the external character editing work from the displayed search result.

  The external character correction unit 16 is processing means that uses predetermined external character image information as a correction target image and corrects all or part of the correction target image to generate new external character image information.

  Specifically, the external character correction unit 16 causes the display unit 21 to display one external character image information acquired from the external character information extracted by the external character search unit 15 based on an employee's selection instruction as a correction target image. Dot data obtained by enlarging the image of the correction range designated by the employee on the correction target image at a predetermined magnification is displayed on the display unit 21.

  Furthermore, the change state of the dot data by the employee's correction operation from the input instruction / correction unit 22 is held. The change state of the dot data is updated and held every time the employee's correction operation is performed. The correction work is performed using a dot data editing processing function known as an application such as an existing paint tool or font creation tool.

  Thereafter, when the correction end instruction is received from the employee, the change state of the correction range that has been held is reduced to the original size and replaced with the correction range data of the correction target image to generate new external character image information. Note that character font image information of a standard character code may be used as the correction target image.

  The card image creation unit 17 pastes the extracted employee information and face photo image information into predetermined card image template data, and is generated by the external character image information selected by the external character search unit 15 or the external character correction unit 16. This is processing means for creating card image information by incorporating external character image information into the position of the external character of the name of employee information.

  The card image creation unit 17 stores the created card image information in the card image storage unit 34.

  The card image creation unit 17 includes employee information acquired from the employee database 31 as information stored in a storage unit provided inside the card as well as information printed on the card surface during the card issuing process. Card image information can also be created.

  The external character information registration unit 18 adds external character information obtained by adding, to the external character image information generated by the external character correction unit 16, the category and either one or both of the stroke number and the reading as predetermined attribute information. It is a processing means to store in.

  The user terminal 2 includes a display unit 21 and an input instruction / correction unit 22. The display unit 21 is processing means for displaying information received from the card making device 1. The input instruction / correction unit 22 is processing means for acquiring information input or selected by an operation of an employee and information at the time of editing processing of an external character image and transmitting the information to the card creation device 1.

  The processing flow of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS.

  The card making device 1 starts processing in response to an access request from the user terminal 2. The card creation device 1 performs external character editing password issuance processing for the accessing employee (FIG. 5), and performs card image information creation processing for card issue (FIG. 6). Then, in the card image information creation process, an external character editing process is performed when creating card image information of an employee whose name includes an external character (FIG. 7). Furthermore, in the external character editing process, an external character search process (FIG. 8) that searches for and uses an already registered external character, and an external character correction that edits an existing external character and creates a new external character when the desired external character is not registered. Processing is performed (FIG. 9).

  FIG. 5 is a process flow diagram of a process for issuing an external character editing password.

  When the input / output interface unit 11 of the card making apparatus 1 inputs the employee number input by the employee at the user terminal 2 (step S10), the employee information reading unit 13 uses the employee number. Corresponding employee information is extracted from the employee database 31 (step S11).

  The authentication unit 12 refers to the external character flag of the employee information and checks whether or not an external character is included in the employee's name (notation) (step S12). If an external character is included (YES in step S12), a password for external character editing (hereinafter, password) is displayed on the display unit 21 of the user terminal 2 and a password is issued (step S13). If an external character is not included (NO in step S12), the process ends. Note that the authentication unit 12 holds the issued password.

  FIG. 6 is a processing flowchart of card image information creation processing.

  The input / output interface unit 11 of the card creation device 1 inputs the employee number and password input by the employee at the user terminal 2 (step S20). The authentication unit 12 authenticates the employee number input with reference to the employee database 31. If the employee number is authenticated (YES in step S21), the employee information reading unit 13 extracts the employee information corresponding to the employee number from the employee database 31 (step S22), and the face photo information reading unit. 14 similarly extracts face photo image information from the face photo database 32 (step S23).

  The card image creation unit 17 uses predetermined data of the extracted employee information (employee number, hire date, name (kana), name (notation)) and face photo image data of the face photo image information as a predetermined card image. The template data is pasted (step S24). Then, the external character flag of the employee information is checked to determine whether or not the external character is included in the employee name (step S25). If the external character is included (YES in step S25), the process proceeds to step S26. If an external character is not included (NO in step S25), the process proceeds to step S29.

  In step S26, the authentication unit 12 determines whether or not the password input in step S20 matches the issued password (YES in step S26), and performs an external character editing process (step S27). . Thereafter, the card image creation unit 17 pastes the external character image information generated in the external character editing process (step S27) on the corresponding position of the character string of the name (notation) (step S28), and the display unit 21 of the user terminal 2 The created card image information is displayed (step S29), and employee confirmation is obtained (step S210). If the employee confirmation is OK (YES in step S210), the card image information is output and stored in the card image storage unit 34 (step S211), and the process ends. If the employee confirmation is not OK (NO in step S210), the process returns to step S20. By doing so, password matchers are permitted to edit only external characters.

  FIG. 7 is a more detailed process flow diagram of the external character editing process in step S27.

  The external character search unit 15 reads external character information from the external character database 33 (step S30), and performs external character search processing (step S31).

  FIG. 8 is a process flow diagram of the external character search process in step S31.

  The external character search unit 15 displays a search condition input screen (a) on the display unit 21 and prompts the employee to select a search condition. For example, a screen that uses an external character category as a search condition is displayed as in the search condition input screen (a). Then, the search condition (kanji style, symbol style, alphabet style, etc.) selected by the employee on the screen is input (step S40).

  Further, a search condition input screen (b) is displayed on the display unit 21 to prompt the employee to select a search condition for narrowing search. For example, a screen that uses an external character reading or the number of strokes as a search condition is displayed as in the search condition input screen (a). Then, the outer character reading or stroke number input by the employee is input (step S41). Note that only one of the three search conditions exemplified here may be set as the search condition.

  Thereafter, the external character search unit 15 searches the external character information corresponding to the input external character information based on the input category, reading, and number of strokes (step S42), and lists the external character image information of the extracted external character information as a search result. The displayed search result display screen (c) is displayed on the display unit 21 (step S43).

  Then, if there is an external character to be adopted in the displayed search result, the employee selects the external character image information. The external character search unit 15 inputs an employee selection instruction and determines whether or not any external character displayed as a search result is to be adopted (FIG. 7: step S32). If the search result is adopted according to the employee's selection instruction (YES in step S32), the external character editing process is terminated.

  On the other hand, when the search result is not adopted as an external character according to the employee's selection instruction (NO in step S32), the employee's selection instruction is input to determine whether to correct the existing external character in the search result ( Step S33). If the existing external character is not corrected (NO in step S33), the external character editing process is terminated. If the existing external character is corrected (YES in step S33), the external character correcting process is performed (step S34). Even if there are no similar external characters, guidance is given to select an external character that is relatively easy to edit and avoid manual input from the beginning.

  FIG. 9 is a process flow diagram of the external character correction process in step S34.

  The external character correction unit 16 causes the employee to select an external character to be corrected from the external character search result displayed in step S43, and acquires the selected external character image information (correction target) (step S50). Then, the external character correction screen (d) for displaying the image to be corrected is displayed, the enlarged display portion for correction is designated, and the dot image in the designated range is displayed as in the external character correction screen (e). Is enlarged and displayed at a predetermined magnification (step S51).

  When the employee performs dot correction in the correction work area on the screen as in the external character correction screen (f), the external character correction unit 16 holds the dot image changed by the correction as needed (step S52). Then, it is determined whether or not an employee's correction end instruction has been input (step S53), and the process of step S52 is repeated until there is a correction end instruction (NO in step S53). When a correction end instruction is input (YES in step S52), the dot image whose enlarged display portion has been changed is returned to the original scale, and is replaced with the corresponding range of the external character image to be corrected to create new external character image information (step) S54) The correction result is displayed as in the external character correction screen (g) (step S55).

  Then, the external character information registration unit 18 additionally registers external character information in which the attribute information is added to the external character image information newly generated by the correction process in the external character database 33 (FIG. 7: step S35). Here, the attribute information uses the category, reading, and number of strokes specified on a separate screen (not shown) by the employee. Further, the reading may be used by extracting the reading corresponding to the external character from the employee information.

  FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating a data example of the external character database 33 after new external character image information generated by the external character correction process is registered.

  Thereafter, the external character correction unit 16 determines whether or not there is an unprocessed external character (step S36). If there is an unprocessed external character (YES in step S36), the process returns to the process of step S31, and the unprocessed external character If there is no (NO in step S36), the process is terminated.

  Thereafter, the card image creation unit 17 pastes the selected or generated external character image information on the corresponding position of the character string of the name of the card image (FIG. 6: step S28), and the card image is displayed by the display unit 21 of the user terminal 2. Is displayed (step S29), and it is determined whether the employee confirmation is OK (step S210). If the confirmation is OK (YES in step S210), the card image information is output to the card image storage unit 34 and stored (step S211).

  FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating an example of a card image issued based on card image information in which employee information and face photo image information are pasted. FIG. 11A is a card image of an employee whose name (notation) includes an external character. The external character image is incorporated in the first character of the character string of the name. FIG. 11B is a card image of an employee whose name (notation) does not include an external character. In this case, card image information is created without performing external character editing processing.

  On the other hand, if the confirmation is not OK (NO in step S210), the process returns to step S20, and the process is performed again. Also, if the employee number cannot be authenticated (NO in step S21), or if the passwords do not match (NO in step S26), the process ends without creating card image information.
