Description

  The present invention relates to a card mount and a card-mounting matching method when an electronic information recording card such as a magnetic card or an IC card is sent attached to a card sticking mount.

  Conventionally, various types of cards such as credit cards, cash cards and other financial cards, ID cards such as employee cards, membership cards and student cards, and personal transaction cards such as point cards and prepaid cards have been used in various fields. . When handing over these cards from the card issuer to the users / applicants of these cards, it is common to enclose these cards in an envelope and send them by mail.

  When sending by post, the card must be affixed to the specified card mount to prevent the card from being damaged or folded due to accidents or careless handling before the card is received by the user. It is common to enclose. However, at this time, the user or applicant registered on this card and the mailing address must definitely match. If the information on the card is different from the information on the mount, a serious problem such as using the card of another person without knowing the user will occur.

  Therefore, when affixing the card to the mount, the electronic information stored in the card and the information displayed on the mount are collated and inspected to indicate the same user or applicant (hereinafter referred to as the work) Is called matching).

  An example of a general process from matching a card to a mount, pasting the card on the mount, and sending the card is shown below.

  First, ID information such as the card user's address, name, postal code, or member registration number is printed on the card attachment board. The card to be sent reads the information stored in the card using a card reader device and displays the information on the display screen. Here, necessary ID information such as the user's name, address, and member registration number is read from the card and collated with the ID information printed on the mount using a visual check or a matching device. As a result of the collation, if the information definitely matches, the card is accepted as a pass, the card is pasted on the mount, the card mount is sealed in a predetermined envelope, and sent by mail.

  In that case, the card user's ID information is often displayed on the card surface so that it can be visually confirmed by printing or embossing. Further, detailed ID information and a password are recorded in a magnetic memory unit in the case of a magnetic card, or in a memory unit of a card medium such as an IC memory unit in an IC chip in the case of an IC card.

  When collation is performed using the matching device, the ID information recorded on the card and the ID information on the card attachment board are mechanically matched using the matching device, and the card recording information and the card attachment Make sure that the display information on the mount matches. The advantage of using the matching device is its high processing speed and the certainty of verification. In recent years, the number of cards issued is enormous, so that the matching device is generally used.

The ID information such as the name, address, date of birth, and membership number of the card user used for matching as described above is called a matching key. All the matching key information of the issued card is stored in the management database of the system that uses the card, and the operation is managed. When necessary, such as new issuance / collection / change processing of cards, etc., addition, extraction, correction, update, etc. are performed using information in this management database.

When collation is performed using a matching device, if the information on the card and the mount does not match, it must be reliably detected and appropriate measures taken.
However, when the card user's address, name, date of birth, or the like is used as a matching key, there has been a problem in performing reliable verification. For example, if there is a user with the same surname, the reading of the name is not correct, or the address notation is not exactly the same and is slightly different (kanji, hiragana notation, street address, etc.) Even if the information is correct, there may be a problem of duplication and a problem of inconsistency due to different notation.

  Further, as information to be printed on the mount, the address / name of the card delivery destination does not necessarily match the card ID information, that is, the card user. For example, if the card user is a student, the guardian may be the card applicant. In that case, the card applicant and the user may have different addresses, and therefore the destination may be different.

  At this time, since the address of the delivery address displayed on the card attachment card does not match the user ID information recorded in the card recording section, there is a problem that mismatching results in mismatch. In addition, since the same name may be the same as the full name, this is not certain.

  Furthermore, in the matching process, since the ID information recorded on the storage medium of the card cannot be confirmed by human eyes, even if there is a machine reading error at the time of matching, it cannot be checked. There is.

  In recent years, the ID information as described above is not used as it is as a matching key, but a symbol conversion (encoding) process is performed to obtain a list of alphanumeric characters whose meaning is not apparent, or random numbers are used. Has been advocated. In this case, a matching key can be obtained by inputting the card user's name, address, member registration number, etc. and encoding it using an appropriate symbolization algorithm. At that time, an algorithm for compressing the information amount can also be used.

  As a result, the card and the user can be easily and reliably associated one-to-one, and by using only simple alphanumeric characters or symbols, machine reading errors in matching are reduced, and matching can be performed with high accuracy. There is also an effect.

In recent years, the number of cards issued has increased enormously, and the number of card users has also increased dramatically. For this reason, a large number of cards are often issued at a time, and all of the matching processes as described above are required even when these cards are sent.
In such a case, naturally, continuous processing automated by a machine is performed, and the process from matching of the card and the mount to pasting of the mount and sending of the card is processed by an automated line. Problems can occur.

  For example, if an operation failure occurs in the card transport device, and the card is attached to the card when the card is attached to the mount and sealed in an envelope, the card is printed on the mount. There is a risk that a serious accident will occur in which the address, name, and postal code of the address to be sent are different from the ID information recorded on the card and the mail is sent differently from the original address. is there.

The following patent document 1 (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2000-671) has been proposed with respect to the problem in the automatic processing as described above.
78)), if the result of the matching indicates that the printed information on the card and the mount is different from each other, the card and mount progress processing is immediately stopped and the subsequent processing is stopped. There has been proposed an IC card matching device capable of stopping the processing progress, checking and correcting a matching error, and performing an accurate mailing process.

  However, in any of the above cases, the matching key remains on both the card and the mount. Originally, the matching key is necessary information only during the matching process. Although it is not necessary at all after the card arrives at the user, it must be used as it is because it is printed directly on the card. In other cases, various card problems and restrictions may occur.

  For example, in the case of an IC card, if there is almost no print space for the matching key on the card, insert the magnetic tape just to insert the matching key and record the encoded matching key on the magnetic tape. It was a burden to do.

  In addition, the matching key is printed so that it can be accommodated within the print space of the card while the character size and width are limited to a certain extent so that the machine can be read accurately. There were cases where it was difficult to do.

  DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiments of a card mount and a card / mount matching method according to the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a state in which a sticker printed with a matching key is pasted on the card surface in the mount with card of the present invention. The card 1 is a card that is used for the mount with a card of the present invention and is prepared for matching the card and the mount, and can be applied to either an IC card or a magnetic card depending on the purpose of use of the card. First, the required number of cards and card mounts are prepared as many as necessary, but for simplicity of explanation, only one card is described here.

  First, a card 1 and a matching key printing sticker 2 are prepared. Information unique to each card such as ID information of the card user is not yet recorded on the card 1. The printing seal 2 has a surface on which one surface can be printed, and the other surface includes an adhesive layer coated with an adhesive. Then, the printing seal 2 is adhered and pasted to a predetermined position of the card 1 via the adhesive layer. The printing sticker 2 is a sticker for printing a matching key corresponding to the ID information of the card user, but the matching key has not been printed yet at this stage.

  In FIG. 1, the printing sticker 2 is affixed to a predetermined position of the card 1, and the sticking position and orientation of the sticker may be any position that can be matched by a matching device. Keep it nearby. The printing seal 2 is moved to the mount side and is not left on the card side when the card 1 is finally peeled off from the card paste mount 4 (details will be described later). It is not necessary to provide a specific space on the card for the seal for printing, and therefore, the sticker may be basically attached to any position on the card. However, a sticker is usually affixed to the back side of the card so that the surface of the card can be seen when it is affixed to the mount.

  The size of the printing seal 2 can be determined according to the area required for printing of the matching key 3. The required area is determined in accordance with the amount of information and the specifications of the print reading unit of the matching device (determined by the minimum print size required for reading, reading resolution, etc.). For the matching key, the card specifier's ID information may be used as it is. However, when protecting personal information or compressing the amount of information, the ID information is encoded using an appropriate symbolization algorithm. This can be used as a matching key.

  As the matching key, an encoded alphanumeric string or symbol string can be used, but a one-dimensional / two-dimensional barcode can also be used. Alternatively, there may be a method in which a predetermined conversion correspondence table or encryption correspondence table is created in another database, and ID information is converted based on these correspondence tables. In short, the card user, the card, and the matching key need to be in a one-to-one correspondence and do not overlap.

  FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a process of printing the matching key 3 on the matching key printing sticker 2 using a card issuing machine in the present invention. When the card 1 is set in a card issuing machine and issuance processing is executed, data necessary for enabling the card is written, and a matching key 3 is printed on the printing sticker 2. At this stage, the card user's ID information and various data are encoded and recorded in the card 1, and if necessary, encryption key information for information protection is also written.

  The card issuing machine is connected to a card issuing management database server via an interface such as a network. Various data recorded on the card is extracted from this database and output to the card issuing machine. The machine prints the various data including the card user's ID information on the card and records the data.

  At this time, the matching key 3 is also extracted from the card issuance management database like the other various data, and is printed on the matching key printing sticker 2 by the card issuing machine. The information recorded on the card and the information printed on the printing sticker 2 use the same card user data. However, the printed matching key 3 may be converted into an alphanumeric string or the like that has been encoded as described above, and the information content may be the same, but the information may appear to be different.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a process of matching and pasting a card and a mount in the present invention. First, a card sticking mount 4 is prepared in advance, and on this mount, an address, name, postal code, member registration number, etc. are printed at predetermined positions as information indicating a mailing address. These pieces of information are information extracted from the card management database, and the information source is the same as the data recorded on the card 1 and the matching key.

However, since the mount is printed in advance by a printing machine different from the card issuing machine, and the card and the mount are prepared on different lines, matching is performed at this stage by comparing the card and the mount. There is a need.

  The address information on the card mounting base 4 is printed at a position corresponding to the window (opening) of the envelope so that when the base is sealed in the envelope, the address can be visually read from the window. It has become. A matching key 3 'is printed at a predetermined position of the card mounting base 4. The matching key 3 ′ has the same content as the matching key 3 printed on the print sticker 2.

  In order to confirm that the contents are the same, the card 1 and the mount 4 are placed on a matching device, and the matching key 3 and the matching key 3 'are read and matched by the matching device. At this time, if the matching keys 3 and 3 'do not match, a warning is given that the card does not correspond to the mount, and a predetermined abnormality treatment is performed. Proceed to step.

  Here, a double-sided seal 5 for attaching the card to the mount is prepared in advance. After it is confirmed that the matching keys of the card and the mount match by the matching, the double-sided sticker 5 is pasted on the printing sticker 2 on the card 1. Then, the card 1 is attached to a predetermined position of the mount 4 through the double-sided seal 5. The card-mounted mount produced by such a process is sealed in a mail envelope and then sent to the card user.

  The double-sided seal 5 is provided with an adhesive layer on both sides and an adhesive layer. The adhesive layer of the print seal 2 is A, the adhesive layer between the double-sided seal and the printing seal is B, and the adhesive layer between the double-sided seal and the mount is C. At this time, the adhesive force of B and C is made larger than that of A.

  That is, the adhesive force on both sides of the double-sided seal is made larger than the adhesive force of the printing seal. However, the adhesive forces on both sides of the double-sided seal 5 may be equal to each other or may be slightly different, but it is desirable that the difference be small.

  The difference in the adhesive strength of the adhesive layer may be determined in consideration of the material strength of the mount or the seal for printing and the force required when the card is peeled by hand. Specifically, when the peel strengths measured under the same conditions are compared, it is desirable that the peel strength of the double-sided seal 5 has a difference that is more than twice that of the printing seal 2. However, the present invention is not limited to this.

  In addition to the characteristics of the adhesive used in the above cases, the peel strength due to adhesion is the surface properties of cards and seals (which are affected by fine irregularities and material properties) and the conditions at the time of bonding. Since it may change depending on the pressure (pressure, temperature, humidity, etc. at the time of pressure bonding), the bonding is performed under conditions that show stable bonding performance.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating a process of taking out a card from the mount. When the card is sent to the card user and the card is peeled off from the mount with the card, the print seal 2 and the double-sided seal 5 between the card and the mount remain adhered to the mount and remain on the card side. Does not remain. That is, only the card is removed. This can be done because the adhesive strength of the layer between the card and the print seal is smaller than the adhesive strength of the other layers as described above.

  The adhesive for the adhesive layer of the printing seal is a highly re-peelable adhesive or pressure sensitive adhesive that can be removed cleanly so that a portion of the adhesive does not peel off and remains on the card side when the card is peeled off. May be.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the steps described above. In the description of FIGS. 1 to 3, the procedure for only one card has been described. However, in practice, it is necessary to process a large number of cards continuously. In that case, it is possible to efficiently process the necessary number of sheets for each process.

  When the matching device has a mechanism capable of continuous processing, the card pasting mount can use a continuous form in which a plurality of mounts are connected, and the matching key is printed together in that state, and the matching device It is possible to set a plurality of cards and a mount on the card, separate the respective mounts after the matching, and paste the cards.

  In carrying out the card mount and card-mount matching method according to the present invention, the necessary system basically includes a configuration in which a card issue management database server, a management terminal, a card issuing machine, and a matching device are connected to each other. Is something. The card issue management database server is a server managed and operated by a card issuer, and stores and manages information related to card issuance.

  The database server for card issuance management selects and extracts various information of individual cards (card usage / type / data format, payment information, etc.), and further extracts information of customers (corresponding to card users here). By referring to the card, a matching key corresponding to the purpose of the card can be issued.

  In addition, this invention is not limited to said embodiment, It can implement suitably about the structure according to the objective including the kind of card | curd, the form of a mount, a matching apparatus, and system configuration content.

  According to the card mount and card-mount matching method according to the present invention, free card designs can be applied to various cards such as magnetic cards, contact / non-contact IC cards, and composite IC cards. It becomes possible.
