<Example 1 of processing procedure for issuing written recording medium>
A written recording medium issuing process procedure according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. In the following processing procedure, the data security inspection will be described assuming that only virus inspection is performed. When receiving a recording medium creation command from the host device 50-53, the main control unit 30 outputs a transport command to the recording medium transport control unit 34 so as to transport the unused recording medium 40 to the data recording unit 11. . In response to this command, the recording medium conveyance control unit 34 takes out the unused recording medium 40 and starts a series of conveyance processes until it is set in the data recording unit 11 (S101).

  Next, it is inspected whether the recording data received from the host device or the like is not infected with a virus (S102). If the virus is infected (S103; No), a virus infection warning is displayed (S112), and the creation of the recording medium is stopped. If it is not infected with a virus (S103; Yes), it waits for the conveyance of the unused recording medium 40) to end (S104; No). When the conveyance of the unused recording medium 40 is completed and set in the data recording unit 11 (S104; Yes), the recording data received from the host device or the like on the unused recording medium 40 based on the write command of the main control unit 30 Is written (S105).

  When the writing to the recording medium is completed, the main control unit 30 outputs a conveyance command to the recording medium conveyance control unit 34 so as to convey the written recording medium to the printing unit 12. The recording medium conveyance control unit 34 starts a series of conveyance processes for conveying the written recording medium 41 to the printing apparatus 12 based on the conveyance command (S106). Further, while the written recording medium 41 is being transported, the data generation unit 32 generates inspection information such as the date for executing the virus inspection, information for specifying the virus search engine and the virus definition file, and the like. The data is output to the unit 30 (S107).

  When the conveyance of the written recording medium 41 is completed (S108; No), when the conveyance is completed (S108; Yes), the main control 30 instructs the printing unit 12 to print the inspection information ( S109). Accordingly, the printing unit 12 prints inspection information including label information such as a title on the surface of the written recording medium.

  When printing is completed, the main control unit 30 again instructs the recording medium transport control unit to transport the written recording medium to the recorded medium storage mechanism 15 or the take-out mechanism 16. Which of the recorded medium storage mechanism 15 and the take-out mechanism 16 is to be conveyed is determined based on a processing command received from the host device 50-53. The recording medium conveyance control unit 34 controls the recording medium conveyance mechanism 13 based on the conveyance command, and starts conveyance of the written recording medium 41 that has been printed (S110). When the conveyance is finished (S111; Yes), the written recording medium issuing process is finished. When the written recording medium is conveyed to the take-out mechanism 16, the take-out gate is opened by the recording medium take-out control unit 36, and the written recording medium can be taken out (not shown).

  The above processing procedure shows an example in which inspection information is generated while the written recording medium 41 is conveyed from the data recording unit 11 to the printing unit 12 (S107). However, the generation timing of the inspection information is not limited to this, and the inspection information may be generated during the conveyance of the unused recording medium 40 and the recording data writing process by the data recording unit 11. Moreover, you may make it produce | generate inspection information during virus inspection execution.

  Further, in the above processing procedure, when the virus is detected, the creation of the recording medium is stopped. However, the creation of the recording medium may be continued and the detected virus information may be printed with a label. Although it actually matches the virus pattern, it may not be a virus, and so on, and such processing is useful when creating such data.

<Example 2 of processing procedure for issuing written recording medium>
A written recording medium issuing process procedure according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. In this embodiment, inspection information relating to virus inspection is not only printed but also written to a recording medium.

  When receiving a recording medium creation command from the host device 50-53, the main control unit 30 carries out the recording medium conveyance so as to start a series of conveyance processes for taking out the unused recording medium 40 and setting it in the data recording unit 11. A conveyance command is output to the control unit 34. The recording medium conveyance control unit 34 receives this command and starts conveying the unused recording medium 40 (S201).

  Next, it is checked whether or not the recorded data received from the host device 50-53 is infected with a virus (S202). If it is infected with a virus (S203; No), a virus infection warning is displayed. (S212), the recording medium creation process is stopped. If it is not infected with a virus (S203; Yes), inspection information relating to virus inspection is generated (S204), and the completion of conveyance of the unused recording medium 40 is awaited (S205; No). When the conveyance of the unused recording medium 40 is completed (S205; Yes), the recording data and the inspection information received from the host device or the like are written to the unused recording medium 40 based on the writing command of the main control unit 30 (S206).

  The subsequent processing is the same as the processing procedure of FIG. 4 except for the inspection information generation step (S207), and will not be further described. In this aspect, it is desirable that the inspection information generation processing step be performed at least before data writing to the recording medium. However, it is not always necessary to create the file after the virus test is completed, and it can be generated during the conveyance of an unused recording medium or during the virus test process. In addition, as in the description of FIG. 4, an example is shown in which the creation of a recording medium is stopped when a virus is detected in the above processing procedure, but the creation of the recording medium is continued and the detected virus information is printed with a label. It may be.

<Printing example on recording medium>
FIG. 6 shows an example of label printing on the surface of the written recording medium 41. A logo 45 such as a company name is printed on the upper portion, and information 46 for specifying a virus inspection date, a virus inspection engine, and a virus definition file is printed on the lower portion. Although omitted in the description of the above-described embodiment, label information such as a company logo or title as shown in FIG. 6 can be created by the data generation unit and printed on the surface of the recording medium. In this way, a virus inspection is automatically performed when data is written to the recording medium, and the contents are automatically label-printed on the surface of the written recording medium 41, so that a plurality of written recording media 41 can be recorded. The work for issuing a large amount is simplified, and it is possible to improve the data security of the entire system in which the written recording medium 41 issued from the recording medium issuing apparatus 10 is used. In addition, since the inspection information is printed on the surface of the recording medium, it is possible to immediately determine when and what virus check has been performed on the recording medium.

<Usage example and other embodiments>
As an example of use of such a recording medium issuing device, for example, when medical information such as tomographic images is recorded in a hospital, it is necessary to store a large amount of data for each customer, such as an accounting office. In some cases, it is useful when, for example, a series of data is recorded on a single recording medium for each contract in an architectural office or the like. It is also useful when duplicating tens or hundreds of recording media having the same contents.

  In the above description, only virus and spyware have been described with respect to data security. However, not limited to this, from the viewpoint of data security, it is also useful to prohibit the creation of files of a predetermined data format as a countermeasure against leakage of confidential information to prevent the act of copying confidential information to a recording medium and taking it outside. It is. For example, if a file with a specific extension such as EXCEL data, Word data, CAD data, or the like exists in the recording data, it is determined that there is a threat of data leakage, and the creation of the recording medium is stopped. In addition, if the occurrence frequency of character strings such as “confidential” and “confidential” and character strings such as “city”, “postal code”, and “phone number” is high, it is determined as a threat of data leakage and the recording medium It is also possible to take measures such as canceling the creation of the password or sending a predetermined warning mail to the manager in charge immediately to prompt confirmation. Also, if the inserted media is not an in-house standard product (judged by manufacturer, product type, etc.), or if it does not meet the specified standards / standards, there is a high possibility that the data has been illegally copied. In addition, even if the user has the creation authority, it can be determined as a data security threat from the viewpoint of data stability such as reading accuracy of recorded data. Further, in the above-described embodiment, only the example in which the data security inspection unit 31 and the data generation unit 32 are provided in the recording medium creation apparatus 10 has been described. However, the data security inspection unit and the data generation unit are not connected to the host device or the server. It is also possible to provide a configuration in which the recording medium is printed based on the inspection information and label information received from the host device or the like, and the inspection information is written on the recording medium.
