There are problems such as. In this regard, although the conventional stamp rally that stamps stamps on the stamp mount is excellent, since such a stamp rally is difficult to authenticate, the user obtains multiple stamp mounts and each stamp mount By stamping the same stamp on the card, there are problems such as exchanging it for a gift for a plurality of times and reselling the stamp mount on which the stamp is stamped.

  In view of this, the present applicant, in Japanese Patent Application No. 2008-245363, disclosed a stamp device that stamps a stamp on the stamp face having an IC chip capable of writing data by non-contact communication and a stamp face capable of stamping a stamp. We have proposed a stamp system that includes a plurality of stamp devices that are installed at different locations.

  In this stamp system, the stamp device at each base stores base data indicating the base where the self is installed, and enters the communication range when the stamp is stamped on the stamped surface by the printing unit.

The communication I / F 19a may be connected to the host 3 (communication I / F 31) through an RS232C cable or wirelessly using Bluetooth (registered trademark).

  The control board 15 includes a CPU, a RAM, a ROM, a non-volatile memory (an example of a device information storage unit), and the like, and has a function of an RFID reader / writer (an example of a medium identification information reading unit) and a timekeeping (clock) function. Such an RFID reader / writer employs, for example, a well-known FeliCa (registered trademark) technology, which is a non-contact IC card technology, and reads data from an IC chip (hereinafter referred to as “RFID chip”) employing the FeliCa technology. In addition, data can be written to the RFID chip in a contactless manner (by contactless communication). Note that a technology other than the above FeliCa may be applied as the non-contact IC card technology, for example, a technology of MIFARE (R) Ultralite (ISO 14443A) may be applied.

  For example, the RFID reader / writer detects an RFID chip within a communicable range (for example, about 10 cm) when the R / W communication switch 18 is ON (on), and detects the RFID chip via the RFID antenna. By supplying a radio wave (eg, 13.56 MHz) to the RFID chip to supply power (by electromagnetic induction) and performing data communication (RFID non-contact communication) between the RFID chips by carrier modulation, the RFID Reading data from the chip and writing data to the RFID chip are performed without contact. The control board 15 and the RFID antenna 17 constitute a medium identification information reading unit in the present invention.

  In a predetermined storage area of a ROM (or nonvolatile memory) provided in the control board 15, a stamp R / WID (an example of device identification information) unique to each stamp device is stored.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the R / W communication switch 18 is turned off because it is urged by the R / W communication switch push-out projection 21 in the stamp table 2 when the stamp device 1 is installed on the stamp table 2. When the stamp device 1 is separated from the stamp table 2, the bias by the R / W communication switch push-out protrusion 21 is released and the stamp device 1 is turned on.

Accordingly, the user can view his / her own stamp acquisition status and lottery result at any time.

[ 5. Operation of stamp system S ]
Next, the operation of the stamp system S according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 7 is a sequence diagram illustrating an example of a processing flow in the stamp system S.

  As a premise, for example, a stamp 帖 T (prepared by a stamp rally service provider) used in the stamp rally is distributed to the user, and the personal information of the user is associated with the stamp 帖 ID of the stamp 帖 T. Are registered in the stamp bag management database 423.

  When the user uses the stamp device 1 to stamp the stamp on the stamp face of the stamp 帖 T, the stamp device 1 detects the RFID chip C of the stamp 帖 T with the RFID reader / writer (step S1). The stamp 帖 ID is read from the RFID chip C of the stamp 帖 T in a non-contact manner (step S2). Note that a reading sound may be generated from the speaker 16 when the stamp bag ID is read.

  Next, when the stamp device 1 acquires the stamp R / WID from the nonvolatile memory and transmits the stamp information including the stamp R / WID and the read stamp ID to the host 3, the host 3 This is received, and the stamp information is transmitted to the stamp server 4 (step S3). For example, the host 3 starts a browser, and sets a stamp 帖 ID (in the example of FIG. 6, in the example of FIG. 6, the stamp URL 4 (“http://stampserver.jp/” in the example of FIG. 6)). “S1234”) and the stamp R / WID (“R9901” in the example of FIG. 6) are added to connect to the stamp server 4 to transmit the stamp information.

  Next, when the stamp server 4 receives the stamp information transmitted from the host 3, as described above, the stamp server 4 determines whether the stamp information and the stamp information already registered in the stamp acquisition information database 421 are duplicated ( Step S4).

  Next, the stamp server 4 additionally registers one record related to the stamp acquisition information including the received stamp information, time information, and determination result in the stamp acquisition information database 421 (step S5).

  Next, the stamp server 4 returns stamp acquisition result information indicating the determination result to the host 3 (step S6).

  Next, when the stamp apparatus 1 receives the stamp acquisition result information transmitted from the stamp server 4 via the host 3, as described above, the stamp apparatus 1 performs sound and light control according to the determination result indicated in the stamp acquisition result information. (Step S7).

  The sound light control may be performed not by the stamp device 1 but by the host 1 that has received the stamp acquisition result information. That is, when the determination result indicated in the received stamp acquisition result information is successful, the host 1 displays information indicating success on the display and makes the speaker beep. On the other hand, when the determination result indicated in the received stamp acquisition result information is unsuccessful, the host 1 displays information indicating the failure on the display and causes the buzzer sound “boo” to sound on the speaker. When configured in this manner, the stamp device 1 does not have to have a display function and an audio output function. The stamp device 1 has a minimum necessary function such as a function of reading the stamp ID from the RFID chip C of the stamp 帖 T. Can only have.

  Next, the host 3 records the communication log (step S8).

  The above processing is performed each time a stamp is stamped on the stamp face of the stamp 帖 T by the stamp device 1, and the stamp acquisition information registered in the stamp acquisition information database 421 gradually increases.

  And a user goes around each base and finally visits the lottery place where the lottery machine was installed, for example. When the RFID reader / writer connected to the lottery machine reads the stamp card ID from the RFID chip C of the stamp card T, the lottery machine connects to the stamp server 4 and sends the stamp card ID to the stamp card ID. All records related to the stamp acquisition information included are acquired from the stamp server 4. Whether or not the lottery machine gives the user of the stamp 帖 T the right to perform a lottery (or the right to obtain a prize) based on all the records related to the acquired stamp acquisition information. Is to decide.

  The determination as to whether or not to give the right to perform the lottery is made, for example, based on whether or not the stamp R / WID of the stamp device 1 at a predetermined essential base is included in all the records related to the stamp acquisition information. Alternatively, whether or not to give the right to perform the lottery is determined, for example, depending on whether or not records relating to stamp acquisition information for a predetermined number of bases are included.

  As described above, according to the above embodiment, the stamp acquisition information indicating the stamp acquisition status is not stored in the RFID chip in the stamp box 2 but stored in the stamp server 4 (registered in the stamp acquisition information database 421). ) So that users can easily perform authentication and subsequent checks while taking advantage of the stamp rally that there is a “memorizing” element of the object and satisfies the collection desire for the user. At the same time, the service provider, the service user, etc. connect to the Web server 44 from their own terminal (for example, personal computer, PDA, mobile phone, etc.) via the network NW to obtain stamp acquisition information. The stamp acquisition status can be grasped in real time on the screen. The service provider can connect to the stamp server 4 from his / her terminal and manage, for example, the number of lotteries.

  The RFID reader / writer of the stamp device 1 does not need to write data to the RFID chip C when stamping the stamp face of the stamp 帖 T, and only needs to read the stamp 帖 ID from the RFID chip C. Even when the stamp on the stamp surface of 帖 T is instantaneously pressed, the stamp acquisition information can be surely registered without causing a problem.

  Further, the RFID reader / writer of the stamp device 1 does not need to write data to the RFID chip C when stamping the stamp face of the stamp 、 T. Therefore, even if the storage capacity of the RFID chip C is finite, there is a special case. A stamp service that is not limited by the storage capacity of the RFID chip C can be performed without causing a problem.

  Further, since the RFID reader / writer of the stamp apparatus 1 does not need to write data to the RFID chip C when stamping the stamp face of the stamp 帖 T, the stamp service provider and IC chip (IC card) issuer Even if they are different, the user can use an IC card equipped with an existing RFID chip without causing any particular problem. In addition, if the RFID reader / writer of the stamp device 1 is a device that reads a QR code or a barcode, the present invention can be applied to a card or a stamp card printed with a QR code or a barcode.
