All or any of the card information database 400, the usage history information database 500, and the privilege information database 600 may be stored in a storage device connected to a computer device that implements the business card creation device 110 via a network, for example.

  The print content determination unit 1003 determines the print content to be printed on a predetermined size of paper based on the owner information and usage history information extracted by the extraction unit 1002. The print content determination unit 1003 determines the print content based on the amount of information for the paper when the extracted owner information and usage history information are printed on the paper, for example. Specifically, for example, when the number of stores used in the past corresponding to the selected genre is large, the printing content for printing only the top four stores with the highest number of uses is determined. Even if the store is used frequently, if the store is checked in the “confidential” column 845 on the display screen 840, it is excluded from the print contents. As a result, for example, information on the top four stores with the highest number of uses, excluding “Gyoza no Gyosho” in FIG.

  Further, the print content determination unit 1003 further determines the print content to be printed on a sheet of a predetermined size based on the privilege information extracted by the extraction unit 1002. Specifically, for example, in the situation where the top four stores with the highest number of visits are basically extracted, among the extracted top three stores, the stores corresponding to the privilege information that “the number of visits is five or more and ramen is free” If there is, the printing contents including the top three stores with the highest number of uses and the privilege information are determined. Further, the print content determination unit 1003 may determine the print content for printing only the privilege information depending on the number of extracted privilege information. In this embodiment, specifically, the function as the print content determination unit 1003 can be realized by, for example, executing a program stored in the ROM 302 by the CPU 301 while using the RAM 303 as a work area.

The display unit 1004 may display a finished sample arranged according to the layout for printing the print content determined by the print content determination unit 1003, for example. Further, the display unit 1004 may display a list of print contents determined by the print content determination unit 1003. In this embodiment, specifically, the display unit 1004 can realize its function by the display 304, for example.

  An edit instruction input unit 1005 accepts an input of an edit instruction for print contents displayed by the display unit 1004. For example, when a display screen for accepting an input of an edit instruction for print content is displayed on the display unit 1004, an input of an edit instruction for print content is accepted when a predetermined location is operated by the touch panel. Specifically, for example, when the “confidential” column 845 of the corresponding store is checked during display of the display screen 840, an input of an instruction to edit the print content is accepted. Specifically, in this embodiment, for example, based on display contents on display 304 and a signal from touch panel 305, a program stored in ROM 302 is executed by CPU 301 while executing RAM 303 as a work area by CPU 301. A function as the input unit 1005 can be realized.

  The changing unit 1006 changes the print content based on the editing instruction input by the editing instruction input unit 1005. Specifically, for example, when the “confidential” column 845 of the corresponding store is checked while the display screen 840 is displayed, the specific store information that is checked is excluded from the print contents. Change the print contents with. In this embodiment, specifically, the function as the changing unit 1006 can be realized by executing, for example, a program stored in the ROM 302 by the CPU 301 while using the RAM 303 as a work area.

  The printing unit 1007 prints a predetermined number of print contents determined by the print content determination unit 1003 on a sheet. When the printing content is changed by the changing unit 1006, the printing unit 1007 prints a predetermined number of sheets of the changed printing content on a sheet. The predetermined number of sheets may be the number of printed sheets input in the sheet number designation field 852. If the number is not entered in the number designation field 852 until the “Issuance!” Key 853 is operated, the number set as a default is printed, for example, three. The default number may be changed according to the card usage status. For example, in the case where the number of card payments is large or the amount of card payments is greater than or equal to a predetermined amount, the default number of prints may be increased, such as 5 or 10 sheets.

  The printing unit 1007 applies each piece of information included in the printing content determined by the printing content determination unit 1003 or the printing content changed by the changing unit 1006 to a corresponding portion in the frame image selected by the user. Printing is performed by generating image data for printing, expanding the generated image data for printing in a VRAM and the like, and driving and controlling each unit included in the printer based on the expanded image data. In this embodiment, specifically, the printing unit 1007 can be realized by the printer 307, for example.

(Processing procedure of business card creation device)
Next, a processing procedure of the business card creation device will be described. FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure of the business card creation device. In the flowchart of FIG. 11, first, wait until the “create business card” key 811 is operated (step S1101: No), and when operated (step S1101: Yes), the “create business card” key 811. It is determined whether or not a credit card number has been acquired for a predetermined time before the point in time is operated or after operation of the “create business card” key 811 (step S1102). In step S1102, for example, it is determined whether or not a credit card has been read by the card reader 308.

  If the credit card number is not acquired in step S1102 (step S1102: No), that is, if the credit card is not read by the card reader 308 before the “create business card” key 811 is operated, the display 304 is displayed. A display screen that prompts the user to read the credit card is displayed to guide the insertion of the credit card (step S1103). And it returns to step S1102 and it is judged whether the credit card number was acquired. In this embodiment, the business card printing request information input unit 1001 can be realized by inputting the business card printing request information by operating the “Create business card” key 811 and acquiring the credit card number.

  If it is determined in step S1102 that a credit card number has been acquired (step S1102: Yes), owner information is acquired based on the acquired credit card number (step S1104), and usage history information is acquired (step S1104). S1105), privilege information is acquired (step S1106). In steps S1104, S1105, and S1106, the usage history management server 120 is accessed, and information associated with the acquired credit card number is acquired from the corresponding database provided in the usage history management server 120.

  Each process of step S1104, step S1105, and step S1106 is not restricted to performing in said order. For example, after acquiring usage history information, privilege information may be acquired and owner information may be acquired. Further, for example, privilege information may be acquired, and usage information may be acquired before owner information is acquired. Alternatively, for example, owner information may be acquired after acquiring usage history information, and then privilege information may be acquired.

  Next, based on each information acquired in step S1104, step S1105, and step S1106, the printing content is determined (step S1107), and the determined printing content is displayed on the display 304 (step S1108). In step S1107, the default print content in which the information acquired in steps S1104, S1105, and S1106 is arranged according to the selected frame image is determined. The process of step S1107 can be realized by the print content determination unit 1003, for example.

  Then, it is determined whether or not an edit instruction has been input for the print content displayed in step S1108 (step S1109). If no edit instruction has been input (step S1109: No), the process proceeds to step S1111. If an edit instruction has been input (step S1109: YES), the print content is changed according to the input content (step S1110). The process of step S1110 can be realized by the changing unit 1006, for example. Whether or not an edit instruction has been input in step S1109 can be realized, for example, by determining whether or not an edit instruction input has been received in the edit instruction input unit 1005.

Thereafter, it is determined whether or not the “Issuance!” Key 853 has been operated (step S1111).
If not operated (step S1111: No), the process returns to step S1109. On the other hand, when the “Issuance!” Key 853 is operated (step S1111: Yes), the printer 307 is driven to perform printing (step S1112), and the series of processes is terminated. The process of step S1112 can be realized by the printing unit 1007, for example.

  Stores used by the card owner tend to reflect the hobby taste of the card owner, and therefore the card usage history tends to reflect the hobby taste of the card owner. According to the business card creation device 110 of this embodiment, it is possible to visualize the owner's hobbies and preferences in line with actual behavior by printing the card usage history. Visualization makes it easier to convey the owner's hobbies and preferences to a third party, and the owner can use the printed matter as a new communication tool that can appeal himself / herself.

  A business card with a use history can be used as one of communication tools, for example, when a credit card owner introduces himself / herself. Specifically, for example, it can be used as a self-introduction tool in a so-called joint party where a predetermined number of men and women gather together to deepen exchange. For example, by introducing a business card with a usage history at a joint party and introducing himself / herself, the cardholder can be impressed with the other party and effective self-appeal can be made.

  Then, by distributing a business card with a use history printed with store information such as a store name, a store that makes a card payment can advertise the store via the card owner. Since advertising through business cards with usage history is based on the actual act that the card user has used the store, for example, by printing the store information in the order of the most frequently used, about the high evaluation for each store You can increase credibility. That is, the store side can perform reliable advertisement with high credibility through the store user (the owner of the card that made the card payment) by using the store.

  In the above-described embodiment, a business card with usage history printed on usage history information related to the use of a credit card has been issued. For example, instead of a credit card, points that can be stored according to the payment amount can be stored It may be realized by a card. In this case, the point card only needs to store the ID information of the point card, and does not need to store the point itself.

  As described above, the business card creation device, the business card creation method, and the business card creation program according to the present invention are useful when providing a service to the owner of the card used for settlement, and in particular, a credit card user. As a service to be provided to the company, it is suitable for a business card creation device, a business card creation method, and a business card creation program for creating a business card including credit card usage history information.
