The image forming apparatus 2 prints the sheet image generated by the information processing apparatus 1 on a sheet or the like. The connection between the information processing apparatus 1 and the image forming apparatus 2 may be a local connection using a USB (Universal Serial Bus) or the like, or a network connection. Further, a plurality of image forming apparatuses 2 may be connected to the information processing apparatus 1.

  In the example shown in FIG. 2B, the information processing apparatus 3 to which the present invention is applied is connected to the Internet 4. The Internet 4 is connected to an information processing apparatus 5 to which an image forming apparatus 6 is connected, a dedicated ticket issuing apparatus 7 and the like. The information processing device 3 operates as a ticket issuing device, and generates a ticket surface image including a ticket surface description item and the like. The information processing device 5 operates as a communication device and acquires a ticket surface image from the information processing device 3 via the Internet 4. The image forming apparatus 6 prints the ticket image acquired by the information processing apparatus 5 on a sheet or the like. The dedicated ticket issuing device 7 has the functions of both the information processing device 5 and the image forming device 6, acquires a ticket face image from the information processing device 3 via the Internet 4, and prints it on a sheet or the like.

  Next, the information processing apparatus 1 and the information processing apparatus 3 will be described. Since the configurations of both are almost the same, here, the configuration of the information processing apparatus 1 will be mainly described. FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating a configuration example of the information processing apparatus 1.

  As shown in the figure, the information processing apparatus 1 includes a calculation unit 1A, a storage unit 1B, a temporary storage unit 1C, a storage device connection unit 1D, a storage device 1E, a printing device connection unit 1F, and a network control unit 1G. ing.

  The arithmetic unit 1A performs arithmetic processing, and is realized by a processor such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit), for example. The storage unit 1B stores information and the like, and is realized by a memory such as a ROM (Read Only Memory) and a nonvolatile memory (Nonvolatile Memory), for example. The temporary storage unit 1C temporarily stores information and the like, and is configured by a memory such as a RAM (Random Access Memory), for example. The storage device connection unit 1D is an interface for connecting the storage device 1E, and the storage device 1E is a device that stores information such as a magnetic disk. The apparatus connection unit 1F is an interface for connecting the image forming apparatus 2 and the like. The network control unit 1G is an interface for connecting the information processing apparatus 1 to a network. When the information processing apparatus 1 and the image forming apparatus 2 are locally connected, the network control unit 1G is not necessary. When the information processing apparatus 1 and the image forming apparatus 2 are connected to the network, the apparatus connecting unit 1F is It is unnecessary.

  The information processing apparatus 3 has the same configuration as that of the information processing apparatus 1, but the apparatus connection unit 1 </ b> F is not necessarily a configuration necessary for the information processing apparatus 3.

  Subsequently, the functional configurations of the information processing apparatus 1 and the information processing apparatus 3 will be described. Since the functions of both are almost the same, the functional configuration of the information processing apparatus 1 is here. The explanation will be focused on. FIG. 3 is a block diagram illustrating a functional configuration of the information processing apparatus 1.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the information processing apparatus 1 includes a style determination unit 11, a ticketing information acquisition unit 12, a calculation processing unit 13, an arrangement processing unit 14, an image information generation unit 15, and an image information output unit 16. Yes. Each unit shown in the figure stores a program for realizing them in the storage device 1E of the information processing apparatus 1, and the arithmetic unit 1A uses the storage unit 1B, the temporary storage unit 1C, and the like based on this program. It is realized by operating.

  The format determining unit 11 determines the format of a character string for authenticity determination described later. The ticketing information acquisition unit 12 acquires ticketing information such as the matters described on the ticket face of the ticket to be ticketed. The arithmetic processing unit 13 determines a character to be used for the authenticity determination character string based on the format determined by the format determining unit 11 and the ticket issuing information acquired by the ticket issuing information acquiring unit 12. The arrangement processing unit 14 determines the arrangement of the characters determined by the arithmetic processing unit 13 as a character string. The image information generation unit 15 generates a ticket surface image based on the ticketing information acquired by the ticketing information acquisition unit 12 and the arrangement determined by the arrangement processing unit 14. The image information output unit 16 outputs the image information generated by the image information generation unit 15 to the image forming apparatus 2.

  The information processing apparatus 3 has the same configuration as that of the information processing apparatus 1, but a configuration corresponding to the image information output unit 16 is sent to the information processing apparatus 5 and the dedicated ticket issuing apparatus 7 via the Internet 4. Is different from the information processing apparatus 1.

  Next, tickets such as tickets printed by the image forming apparatus 2, the image forming apparatus 6, and the dedicated ticket issuing apparatus 7 will be described. FIG. 4 is a view showing the surface of a ticket issued by the system shown in FIG.

  As shown in the drawing, on the front surface of the ticket 20, a ticket face description item 21 and a true / false determination character string 22 are printed. This ticket description item 21 and the authenticity determination character string 22 are printed based on the ticket image output by the information processing apparatus 1 or the information processing apparatus 3.

  The ticket entry item 21 is the same as the item printed on a general ticket, in which a seat number, a ticket issue number, a date and time, etc. are printed. The authenticity determination character string 22 is a character string including a specific character determined based on a part of the ticket description item 21, for example, a seat number. This specific character is arranged in a position corresponding to the style determined by the style determination unit 11 in the authenticity determination character string 22. Therefore, it is possible to determine the authenticity of the ticket 20 by comparing a character printed at that position with a part (for example, a seat number) of the ticket face description item 21.

  The authenticity determination character string 22 is not necessarily printed on the front surface of the ticket 20 and may be printed on the back surface of the ticket 20.

  As described above, the ticket 20 can determine the authenticity by comparing the written description 21 and the authenticity determination character string 22, but the specific character can be determined from the authenticity determination character string 22. Finding it can be difficult. For this reason, in order to make the comparison between the ticket description item 21 and the authenticity determination character string 22 easy, the authenticity of the ticket 20 is determined using a confirmation assisting template.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of a confirmation assistance template. FIG. 4A is a diagram showing the front of the template, and FIG. 4B is a diagram showing a cross section of the template along X-X ′ in FIG. FIG. 3C is a diagram showing a cross section of another example of the template.

  As shown in the figure, the template 30 is provided with a transmission part 31, a transmission part 32, and a transmission part 33. The transmissive part 31, the transmissive part 32, and the transmissive part 33 can confirm (view) the ticket surface of the ticket 30 through the template 30 when the template 30 is overlapped with the ticket 20. This can be realized by forming a hole in the template 30.

  When this template 30 is superimposed on the ticket 20, as shown in FIG. 6, characters printed on the ticket surface of the ticket 20 can be confirmed from the transmissive portion 31, the transmissive portion 32, and the transmissive portion 33. The characters that can be confirmed from the transmissive portion 31, the transmissive portion 32, and the transmissive portion 33 are specific characters included in the authenticity determination character string 22 of the ticket 20, and can be confirmed from the transmissive portion 31, the transmissive portion 32, and the transmissive portion 33. When the characters are arranged in order, they coincide with the seat number of the ticket entry item 21 (strictly, the number represented by the characters that can be confirmed from the transmissive portion 31 is multiplied by 100 and is represented by the characters that can be confirmed from the transmissive portion 32. The value obtained by adding the number represented by the characters that can be confirmed from the transmission part 33 is equal to the seat number).

  Note that the confirmation assisting template may be configured such that the ticket 20 is sandwiched with a U-shaped cross section like a template 30 ′ shown in FIG.

  Next, the flow of operations of the information processing apparatus 1 and the information processing apparatus 3 will be described. Since the flow of both operations is substantially the same, here, the flow of operation of the information processing apparatus 1 will be mainly described. FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing an operation flow of the information processing apparatus 1.

  When the information processing apparatus 1 starts the ticketing process, first, the format determining unit 11 determines the format of the authenticity determination character string (step 101). The form of the authenticity determination character string indicates the arrangement position of the specific character and the relationship between the specific character and the ticket information. In the case of the ticket 20 shown in FIG. 4, the arrangement position of the specific character is shown in FIG. It is a position where the transmission part 31, the transmission part 32, and the transmission part 33 of the template 30 are overlapped, and the relationship between the specific character and the bill face information is obtained by multiplying the number represented by the character that can be confirmed from the transmission part 31 by 100 times. A value obtained by adding 10 times the number represented by the characters that can be confirmed from the part 32 and further adding the number represented by the characters that can be confirmed from the transparent part 33 is the same as the seat number. This style may be selected from a plurality of styles prepared in advance, or may be created using a random number or the like.

  Next, in the information processing apparatus 1, the ticket issuing information acquisition unit 12 acquires ticket issuing information (step 102). The ticket issuing information is acquired by the ticket issuing information acquiring unit 12 by manual input by an operator of the information processing apparatus 1 or by reading data.

  Subsequently, the arithmetic processing unit 13 uses a random number to determine a character string of a predetermined size to be used for the authenticity determination character string, for example, a 10 × 10 character string (step 103), and a format determination unit A specific character is determined based on the form determined by 11 and the ticketing information acquired by the ticketing information acquisition unit 12 (step 104). Then, the determined specific character is arranged in the previously determined character string to create a true / false determination character string (step 105).

  Next, the image information generation unit 15 generates a ticket surface image including the ticket surface information and the authenticity determination character string from the generated authenticity determination character string and the ticketing information acquired by the ticketing information acquisition unit 12 (step 106) The image information output unit 16 outputs the ticket image to the image forming apparatus 2 (step 107), and the ticket issuing process is terminated.

  The format determined by the format determining unit 11 is different for each performance unit in the case of a ticket of a predetermined unit, for example, a performance ticket. Each one will be different. In this case, it is possible to easily specify the combination of the ticket and the template by adding color information to the ticket.

  In addition, a color is used for the character string for authenticity determination, and the color has a meaning as an operation, or a character other than a number is used to represent a specific meaning, for example, an operator. It can also have meaning such as representing conversion to numbers. In addition to this, it is also possible to employ a character string for authenticity determination that gives meaning to the typeface and orientation of characters.

  Further, it is possible to make the analysis using a computer or the like difficult by arranging the character strings for authenticity determination irregularly like the authenticity character string 41 for the ticket 40 shown in FIG. Even in this case, as shown in FIG. 8B, if the corresponding template 50 is used, the specific character can be easily confirmed.

  In the second embodiment, an example will be described in which a character string for authenticity determination different from the character string for authenticity determination described in the first embodiment is used. Note that the configuration of the system including the information processing apparatus 1, the information processing apparatus 3, and the like is the same as that in the first embodiment, and a description thereof is omitted here.

  FIG. 9 is a view showing the front of a confirmation assisting template corresponding to the style described in the second embodiment. As shown in the figure, the template 60 is provided with a transmission part 61, a transmission part 62, a transmission part 63, and a transmission part 64. Further, the transmission part 61, the transmission part 62, the transmission part 63, and the transmission part 64 are provided. A description section 65 is provided which describes the relationship between the specific characters that can be confirmed from the above and the matters described on the ticket face of the ticket.

  When this template 60 is overlapped with the ticket 70 shown in FIG. 10A, four specific characters can be confirmed as shown in FIG. 10B. It is possible to confirm the authenticity of the ticket 70 by performing an operation according to the description.

  Here, the flow of operation of the information processing apparatus 1 according to the second embodiment will be described. FIG. 11 is a flowchart illustrating an operation flow of the information processing apparatus 1 according to the second embodiment.

  When the information processing apparatus 1 starts the ticketing process, first, the format determining unit 11 determines the format of the character string for authenticity determination. The format is determined by executing each of the calculation item number determination process (step 201), the specific location selection process (step 202), and the calculation content determination process (step 203).

  Subsequently, in the information processing apparatus 1, the arithmetic processing unit 13 and the arrangement processing unit 14 perform numerical value / numerical string determination processing (step 204), and based on the result, the image information generation unit 15 performs the ticket surface information and authenticity. A ticket surface image including a character string for determination is generated (step 205), and the image information output unit 16 outputs this ticket image to the image forming apparatus 2 (step 206), and the ticket issuing process is terminated.

  Next, details of the calculation item number determination process (step 201), the specific location selection process (step 202), the calculation content determination process (step 203), and the numerical value / number string determination process (step 204) will be described.

  FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing the flow of the calculation item number determination process. In the calculation item number determination process, first, a random number Rnd larger than 0 and smaller than 1 is generated (step 301). Then, a value obtained by adding 4 to the value obtained by multiplying the random number Rnd by 3 is calculated as the item number z (step 302). This item number z corresponds to the number of specific characters, and is any one of 4, 5, and 6.

  FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing the flow of specific location selection processing. In the specific location selection process, first, the value of the variable n is initialized to “1” (step 401). Then, a random number Rnd_x (n) larger than 0 and smaller than 1 is generated (step 402), and then a random number Rnd_y (n) larger than 0 and smaller than 1 is generated (step 403).

  Next, a value obtained by multiplying the random number Rnd_x (n) by 10 is calculated as Xn (step 404), a value obtained by multiplying the random number Rnd_y (n) by 10 is calculated as Yn (step 405), and Mn = (Xn, Yn). ) Is specified (step 406).

  If the specified value of Xn is different from the previously specified value of Xm (YES in step 407), the value of variable n is incremented by “1” until the value of variable n becomes equal to the value of the number of items z. (YES in step 408, step 409), and the same processing is repeated. If the specified Xn value is the same as the previously specified Xm value (NO in step 407), the Xn value is specified again.

  Such processing is repeated, and when the value of the variable n becomes equal to the value of the number of items z (YES in step 408), the specific location selection processing is terminated.

  Although z Mn are specified by this specific part selection process, since Mn indicates the coordinates in the character string for authenticity determination, only z positions for specifying the specific character are specified.

  14 and 15 are flowcharts showing the flow of calculation content determination processing.

  In the calculation content determination process, first, a random number Rnd larger than 0 and smaller than 1 is generated (step 501). If the value of the random number Rnd is larger than 0.5 (NO in step 502), “calculation 1” is determined to be multiplied (step 503). On the other hand, if the value of the random number Rnd is greater than 0.25 and equal to or less than 0.5 (YES in Step 502, YES in Step 504), “Calculation 1” is determined to be subtracted (Step 505), and the value of the random number Rnd Is 0.25 or less (YES in step 502, NO in step 504), "calculation 1" is determined to be added (step 506).

  Next, if the value of the item number z is larger than 4 (YES in Step 507), a random number Rnd larger than 0 and smaller than 1 is generated (Step 508). If the value of the random number Rnd is larger than 0.5 (YES in step 509), the “calculation 2” is determined to be subtracted (step 510), and if the value of the random number Rnd is 0.5 or less (step) (No in 509), “Calculation 2” is determined to be added (step 511).

  Next, if the number of items z is greater than 5 (YES in step 512), a random number Rnd greater than 0 and less than 1 is generated (step 513). If the value of the random number Rnd is larger than 0.5 (YES in step 514), the “calculation 3” is determined to be subtracted (step 515), and if the value of the random number Rnd is 0.5 or less (step 515). “NO” in 514), “calculation 3” is determined to be added (step 516).

  The type of “calculation 1” is determined when the number of items z is 4 (NO in step 507), or when the value of the number of items z is 5, “calculation 1” and “calculation 2” If the value of the number of items z is 6 and the types of “calculation 1”, “calculation 2”, and “calculation 3” are determined, the “calculation” is determined. If “1” is determined to be multiplied (YES in step 517), a random number Rnd greater than 0 and less than 1 is generated (step 518), and if the value of this random number Rnd is greater than 0.5 (step 518). "YES" in 519), "calculation (z-2)" and "calculation (z-1)" are both determined to be added (step 520).

  On the other hand, when “Calculation 1” is not determined to be multiplied (NO in Step 517), or when the value of the random number Rnd generated in Step 518 is 0.5 or less (NO in Step 519). ), “Calculation (z−2)” is determined to be addition after M (z−1) is multiplied by 10, and “calculation (z−1)” is determined to be addition of Mz (step 521).

  By this calculation content determination process, an arithmetic expression for the numerical value represented by z specific characters is determined.

  FIG. 16 is a flowchart showing the flow of numerical value / numerical string determination processing.

  In the numerical value / numerical string determination process, first, a numerical value F0 is acquired from information obtained from the ticket surface information (step 601). The numerical value F0 is a value to be compared with the character string for authenticity determination, such as the last two digits of the seat number, a value obtained by replacing the seat number, or the last two digits of the ticket issuing number.

  Next, a random number larger than 0 and smaller than 1 is generated, and this is multiplied by 10 and the decimal part is rounded down to a predetermined number, for example, 100 times, thereby generating a 10-by-10 numeric string (step) 602).

  Subsequently, among the generated number strings, values located at specific locations M1 to Mz are calculated according to the calculation content determined in the calculation content determination process, and a numerical value F is calculated (step 603). Then, until the value obtained by subtracting the numerical value F0 from the numerical value F becomes a predetermined value, for example, 0 or 100 (NO in step 604), one of the values located at the specific points M1 to Mz is changed according to a predetermined method. (Step 605), the numerical value F is calculated again (Step 603).

  When such a process is repeated and the value obtained by subtracting the numerical value F0 from the numerical value F becomes a predetermined value (YES in step 604), the values located in the specific locations M1 to Mz are represented by the corresponding positions of the number string generated in step 602. The value is exchanged (step 606), and the process is terminated.

  The predetermined method described in step 605 is a method determined according to the calculation content determined in the calculation content determination process.

  Here, the predetermined method described in step 605 will be described by taking an example in which the calculation content is “M1 × M2 + M3−M4 + M5 × 10 + M6”.

  17 to 23 are flowcharts illustrating specific processing examples of the processing described in steps 601 to 605.

  In this processing example, first, a numerical value F0 is acquired from information obtained from the ticket surface information (step 701). The numerical value F0 is a value to be compared with the character string for authenticity determination, such as the last two digits of the seat number, a value obtained by replacing the seat number, or the last two digits of the ticket issuing number.

  Next, a random number larger than 0 and smaller than 1 is generated, and this is multiplied by 10 and the decimal part is rounded down to a predetermined number, for example, 100 times, thereby generating a 10-by-10 numeric string (step) 702).

  Subsequently, in the generated number string, values located at specific locations M1 to M6 are calculated according to the calculation content determined in the calculation content determination process, and a numerical value F is calculated (step 703).

  If the value obtained by subtracting the numerical value F0 from the numerical value F is 0 or 100 (YES in step 704), the process proceeds to the process corresponding to step 606 described above.

  On the other hand, if the value obtained by subtracting the numerical value F0 from the numerical value F is a positive value (NO in step 704, NO in step 705), the value of the variable n is initialized to “1” (step 706). Each value located in M1 to M6 is stored (step 707).

  If the value located at Mn is not “0” (NO at step 708, NO at step 709), the value located at Mn is reduced by “1” (step 710), and the numerical value F is calculated again (step 710). Step 711). However, when the value of n is “4” (YES in step 708), the value located in M4 is only “1” unless the value located in M4 is “9” (NO in step 712). Increase (step 713), and again calculate the numerical value F (step 711).

  As a result of calculating the numerical value F, if the value obtained by subtracting the numerical value F0 from the numerical value F is 0 or 100 (YES in step 714), the process proceeds to the process corresponding to step 606 described above. If the value obtained by subtracting the numerical value F0 remains a positive value (NO in step 714, NO in step 715), if the value of variable n is other than “6” (NO in step 716), the value of variable n Is increased by “1” (step 717). If the value of the variable n is “6” (YES in step 716), the value of the variable n is set to “1” (step 718), and the process returns to step 707. Repeat the same process.

  As a result, if the value obtained by subtracting the numerical value F0 from the numerical value F changes to a negative value (YES in step 715), the value positioned in M3 is not “9” (NO in step 719). Is incremented by “1” (step 720), and the numerical value F is calculated again (step 721). As a result of calculating the numerical value F, when the value obtained by subtracting the numerical value F0 from the numerical value F is 0 or 100 (YES in Step 722), the process proceeds to the process corresponding to Step 606 described above.

  If the value obtained by subtracting the numerical value F0 from the numerical value F is not 0 or 100 (NO in step 722), or if the value located in M3 is “9” (YES in step 719), the value located in M4 Is not “0” (NO in step 723), the value located at M4 is reduced by “1” (step 724), and the numerical value F is calculated again (step 725).

  Although Example 1 and Example 2 demonstrated the example which uses a part of ticket surface information, such as a seat number among ticket issuing information, as a specific character, in Example 3, information other than ticket surface information is included in ticket issuing information. An example of using as a specific character will be described. Note that the configuration of the system including the information processing apparatus 1, the information processing apparatus 3, and the like is the same as that in the first embodiment, and a description thereof is omitted here.

  In the case of Example 3, at the time of ticketing, as the purchaser information, information such as a driver's license number, health insurance card number, mobile phone number, etc. that can be used for identity verification is fetched as ticketing information, and this information is used as a specific character. Generate a true / false judgment character string.

  For example, when using a driver's license number, the last digit of the number may be different from that at the time of ticketing due to reissuance, etc. Use. However, since the purchaser is not informed of which part of the driver's license number is used, it is difficult to estimate the number because of forgery.

  For example, in the process described in the first embodiment (see FIG. 7), the purchaser information is acquired as ticketing information by the operator of the information processing apparatus 1 manually inputting or reading data. Information is acquired by the ticketing information acquisition unit 12 (see step 102).

  Further, not all people have a driver's license, so a health insurance card number and a mobile phone number are used together. Therefore, in the case of the third embodiment, a ticket such as the ticket 80 shown in FIG. 24 is issued. In addition to the authenticity determination character string 81, the ticket 80 is printed with document type information 82 indicating the identity verification document used to generate the authenticity determination character string 81.

  This makes it necessary to request a driver's license or the like when determining authenticity, but forgery can be made more difficult.
