Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an information protection system for preventing any intervening person from viewing personal information in a system for storing and transmitting personal information where a person intervenes. <P>SOLUTION: This information protection system is characterized for protecting personal information by eliminating the chance of an intervening person to view personal information so that personal information can be prevented from being intentionally or unintentionally leaked since the chance of the intervening person to view the personal information exists in a system for storing and transmitting personal information where a person intervenes from the point of view of personal information protection. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT

Description

本発明は、人間が介在する、個人情報の保管、伝達システムにおいて、介在する人間が当該情報を目視できないことを目的とした情報保護システムに関する。 The present invention relates to a personal information storage and transmission system involving humans, and to an information protection system for the purpose of preventing the human beings from seeing the information.

従来、個人情報の保管、伝達システムには人間が介在し、その情報を各種データーベースに記録し保管したり、また直には認識できないバーコードなどを読み取るシステムなどが知られており、又実際に使用されている。 Conventionally, there are known systems for storing and storing personal information, storing and storing the information in various databases, and reading barcodes that cannot be recognized directly. Is used.

しかし、上記のこれらのシステムは介在する人間が、情報を目視でき、または、バーコード化しても解読しようと思えば、簡単に解読することができた。 However, these systems described above could be easily deciphered if the intervening human could see the information or try to decipher it even if it was barcoded.

また、近年個人情報保護に関する法律が整備され、安易に個人情報を人間の目にさらすことは法律的にも問題視されつつある。
In recent years, laws concerning the protection of personal information have been established, and it has become a legal issue to easily expose personal information to human eyes.

この問題の解決策として、従来使用していた可視印字に変えて不可視のインクを使用した、しかもバーコード化した発光印字も不可視に変えることにより問題の解決をはかる。 As a solution to this problem, the invisible ink is used instead of the previously used visible printing, and the barcoded light emitting printing is also made invisible to solve the problem.

印字を不可視インクに変えることにより、情報の印字から読み取りまでの間、介在した人間が、印字された情報を目視することが出来なくなる。 By changing the printing to invisible ink, it becomes impossible for an intervening person to visually check the printed information from printing to reading.

人間に不可視の各種バーコードの読み取りには、人間に不可視の紫外線光や赤外線光を照射し、人間に不可視のインク中の顔料を励起させ照射した光と異なる人間に不可視の波長を発光させ、その波長を感知するカメラを用いる。 For reading various barcodes that are invisible to humans, humans invisible ultraviolet light and infrared light are irradiated, and pigments in ink that are invisible to humans are excited to emit light invisible to humans that is different from the irradiated light, A camera that senses the wavelength is used.

上記のシステムにおいて、照射光と、カメラの感知する光の波長が重複しないよう必要波長のみを透過する光学フィルターを光源側及びカメラ側に設置することにより、照射光の波長が、読み取りカメラに入射しなくなるため、読み取り判別が明瞭になる。 In the above system, by installing an optical filter on the light source side and camera side that transmits only the required wavelength so that the wavelength of the irradiation light and the light detected by the camera do not overlap, the wavelength of the irradiation light is incident on the reading camera. Therefore, the reading discrimination becomes clear.

従来は個人情報に対する保護がきわめて安易にされ、結果として近年の情報化社会に様々な弊害がでており、法律による保護もますます厳しくなってきています。 In the past, protection of personal information has been made extremely easy. As a result, various adverse effects have occurred in the information-oriented society in recent years, and legal protection has become increasingly severe.

しかし、従来のシステムでは機械化やコンピュター化するにしても情報の入力の段階で介在する人間が情報を目視する機会を無にすることは不可能であった。 However, in the conventional system, even if it is mechanized or computerized, it has been impossible to eliminate the opportunity for the human being to intervene at the information input stage to view the information.

本発明により、介在する人間が情報を見る機会が無くなるため、個人情報保護の厳密性が格段に向上する。 According to the present invention, there is no opportunity for an intervening person to view information, so that the strictness of personal information protection is significantly improved.

また、このシステムの応用として人間が容易に目視できないため、より高度な真贋識別方法としてもシステム構築が可能である。

In addition, since this system cannot be easily viewed by humans, the system can be constructed as a more advanced authentication method.

例えば、銀行などで小切手や手形の情報を保存するため現在では、人間が機械に情報を読み込ませる際、当該情報を目視できる機会が存在する。 For example, in order to save check and bill information at a bank or the like, there is now an opportunity for a human to visually check the information when the machine reads the information.

本発明では、必要情報が人間の目に不可視のインクを使用したバーコードで印字されており印字個所のみが介在する人間に知らされており、読み取りもカメラを介して、自動的に記録される。 In the present invention, necessary information is printed with a bar code using ink that is invisible to the human eye, and is known to the human being who has only the printing part interposed, and the reading is automatically recorded via the camera. .

上記により、安易に情報が漏洩する機会が極端に減少する。 By the above, the opportunity for easily leaking information is extremely reduced.

本発明の例として、既に試作が完了した、波長３２０ｎｍを吸収励起し、波長３５０ｎｍを発光するシステムの概略図である。この例の他には様々な励起波長で、それぞれ発光波長が異なるシステムが同様に考えられる。As an example of the present invention, it is a schematic diagram of a system that has already been prototyped and absorbs and excites a wavelength of 320 nm and emits a wavelength of 350 nm. In addition to this example, systems having different emission wavelengths at various excitation wavelengths are also conceivable.
