Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming apparatus having a wireless LAN card and an IC card authentication section, which can easily secure an interval required between the installation positions of a wireless LAN card unit and an IC card authentication unit in a limited body space.SOLUTION: A slot Z to which the wireless LAN card unit 30 is inserted is provided slightly lower than the top part of a corner section of a back side of a printer body 2, and a built-in installation space X for the IC card authentication unit 20 is provided near a top surface of another corner section located on a diagonal line x-y of the printer body 2. The interval is the largest between the slot Z and the built-in installation space X. As ranges (r1, r2) capable of wireless wave interference mutually get apart, the wireless wave interference becomes difficult to cause even if the printer body 2 is miniaturized.

Description

本発明は、無線LAN子機である無線LANカードとICカード認証部とを備える機器、特にプリンタ、ファクシミリ、これらの複合装置等の画像形成装置に関し、詳細にはこれらの装置における無線LANカードとICカード認証部の配置に関する。   The present invention relates to a device including a wireless LAN card, which is a wireless LAN slave unit, and an IC card authenticating unit, and more particularly to an image forming apparatus such as a printer, a facsimile, and a composite device thereof. The present invention relates to the placement of the IC card authentication unit.

近年の画像形成装置、特に会社内などで複数あるいは多数の人が使用者となるプリンタのセキュリティを向上させることや、コストの管理のために、プリンタを使用する部署や個人の認証手段、具体的には非接触式のICカード認証ユニット(ICカードリーダー)が搭載されるようになってきている。ICカードリーダーの搭載方式には、装置本体へ外付けするものや、装置本体内に内蔵するものの両方式がそれぞれ採用されている。   In order to improve the security of printers where multiple or many people are users in recent image forming devices, especially in the company, and to manage the cost, the department that uses the printer and the authentication means of the person, concrete Has come to be equipped with a non-contact type IC card authentication unit (IC card reader). As an IC card reader mounting method, both a system externally attached to the apparatus body and a system incorporated in the apparatus body are employed.

このような装置では、ICカードの読み取り情報を無線LANカードを利用して無線通信により送信し、管理装置あるいは管理システムでその情報を受信して利用資格の認証を行い、利用資格が認証された場合にはプリンタが利用でき、認証されなければ使用を不可とすることで、不正な利用を防ぐようにしたシステムを構築できるように構成してある。   In such a device, the reading information of the IC card is transmitted by wireless communication using a wireless LAN card, the information is received by the management device or the management system, the usage qualification is authenticated, and the usage qualification is authenticated. In some cases, the printer can be used, and if it is not authenticated, it cannot be used, so that a system that prevents unauthorized use can be constructed.

非接触式のICカードリーダーは、周知のように、ICカードをICカードリーダーのICカード認証部にかざして認識させているが、ICカードリーダーのアンテナと無線LANカードのアンテナとが近くに位置していると、電波干渉により、双方に通信障害が引き起こされる場合がある(使用する周波数帯、信号の変調方式、通信プロトコル等の種々の通信要素に関係するので必ず障害が発生するものではないとされるが、設計時には要注意の問題である。   As is well known, the non-contact type IC card reader holds the IC card over the IC card authentication unit of the IC card reader, but the antenna of the IC card reader and the antenna of the wireless LAN card are located close to each other. If this is the case, radio interference may cause a communication failure on both sides (it does not necessarily cause a failure because it is related to various communication elements such as the frequency band used, signal modulation method, communication protocol, etc.) However, it is a matter of caution when designing.

一方、ICカードリーダーが内蔵、外付けのいずれの配置形態であっても、プリンタ単体機では本体サイズの小型化により、障害が引き起こされにくい距離を確保することが難しいとも言われている。これを回避するために、ICカード検知領域を狭くすると、認証のための利用者の動作に問題が生じることがある。例えば、首にカードを取り付けたストラップを掛けている場合には、利用者が身体を大きく傾けてICカードをリーダーに近づける必要が生じたり、利用者がICカードを手に保持して認証動作を行う場合には、ICカードをリーダー上に置いて作業してしまい、作業終了後に置き忘れてしまうことが生じやすくなると言われている。利用者がICカードを置き忘れた場合には、誰でもプリンタを利用でき、大変問題になる。またもちろんであるが、置き忘れないようにとICカードを常時かざしておくような利用者には非常に利便性が悪くなる。   On the other hand, it is said that it is difficult to secure a distance that is unlikely to cause a failure due to a reduction in the size of the main body of a single printer, regardless of whether the IC card reader is built in or externally attached. In order to avoid this, if the IC card detection area is narrowed, there may be a problem in the operation of the user for authentication. For example, when a strap with a card attached to the neck is hung, it is necessary for the user to tilt his / her body to bring the IC card closer to the reader, or the user can hold the IC card in his hand for authentication. When performing, it is said that it tends to occur that the IC card is placed on a reader and is misplaced after the work is completed. If the user misplaces the IC card, anyone can use the printer, which is a serious problem. Of course, it is very inconvenient for a user who always holds the IC card so as not to leave it behind.

本発明は、限られた本体スペースの中で無線LANカードユニットとICカード認証ユニットの設置位置の間に要求される間隔の確保を容易に実現し得る無線LANカードとICカード認証部とを備える機器、同じく画像形成装置を提供することを目的とする。   The present invention includes a wireless LAN card and an IC card authentication unit that can easily realize a required interval between the installation positions of the wireless LAN card unit and the IC card authentication unit in a limited main body space. An object is to provide an apparatus, and also an image forming apparatus.

<実施例1>
以下、本発明の実施例を図面を参照して説明する。
図1は、ICカード認証の使用形態を示す概念図である。プリンタ1の正面右手上部に設けたICカード認証ユニット(図示せず)の内蔵設置スペース(図中矢印Xで示す)に対して、使用者YがICカード10をかざして認証しようとしている。なお図中2はプリンタ本体、3はプリンタの操作部、4は収納した状態の給紙トレイ、5はプリンタ本体上面の排紙部であり、ICカード認証ユニットの内蔵設置スペースXは、プリンタ本体2の上部カバーの正面右上隅内側に設定してある。
<Example 1>
Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a conceptual diagram showing a usage pattern of IC card authentication. The user Y is about to authenticate by holding the IC card 10 against a built-in installation space (indicated by an arrow X in the figure) of an IC card authentication unit (not shown) provided at the upper right of the front side of the printer 1. In the figure, 2 is a printer body, 3 is a printer operation section, 4 is a paper feed tray in a housed state, 5 is a paper discharge section on the top surface of the printer body, and the IC card authentication unit built-in installation space X is the printer body. 2 is set inside the upper right corner of the front of the upper cover.

図2は、図1に示したプリンタ1を斜め背面側から見た斜視図である。ICカード認証ユニットの内蔵設置スペースXとともに、無線LANカードユニットを差し込むためのスロットの位置が符号Zで示してある。なお、ICカード認証ユニットの内蔵設置スペースXは、プリンタ本体2の上部カバー内側に、メカ・リブを避けて確保する。また、図3に示すようなICカード認証ユニット20のケーブル21と端子22(図ではUSB端子のように示してあるが、これには限定されない)とをプリンタ本体2の外へ出しやすいように、プリンタ本体2の例えば背面側の部位には穴を開けやすいような構造としておくことが望ましい。   FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the printer 1 shown in FIG. Along with the built-in installation space X of the IC card authentication unit, the position of the slot for inserting the wireless LAN card unit is indicated by the symbol Z. A built-in installation space X of the IC card authentication unit is secured inside the upper cover of the printer main body 2 by avoiding mechanical ribs. Further, the cable 21 and the terminal 22 (shown as a USB terminal in the figure, but not limited to this) of the IC card authentication unit 20 as shown in FIG. It is desirable that the printer main body 2 has a structure that can easily make a hole in, for example, a rear side portion.

図4は、無線LANカードユニット30が搭載されるプリンタ本体2の筐体のほぼ対角線位置に、ICカード認証ユニット20の内蔵設置スペースXを設けるという本発明の実施例1を示す概念図である。   FIG. 4 is a conceptual diagram showing Embodiment 1 of the present invention in which a built-in installation space X for the IC card authentication unit 20 is provided at a substantially diagonal position of the casing of the printer main body 2 on which the wireless LAN card unit 30 is mounted. .

図示のように、プリンタ本体2の背面側の正面から見て左側の角隅部の頂部より若干下方に無線LANカードユニット30を挿入するスロットZが設けてあり、プリンタ本体2の正面側から見て右側の角隅部の頂面近傍にはICカード認証ユニット20の内蔵設置スペースXが設けてある。これら無線LANカードユニット30を挿入するスロットZとICカード認証ユニット20の内蔵設置スペースXとは、図示のようにプリンタ本体2を上方から見た場合に平面上での直線距離での間隔が最も大きくなる(実際にも最長となる)対角線x−y上に、あるいはそのすぐ近傍に位置することになる。   As shown in the figure, a slot Z for inserting the wireless LAN card unit 30 is provided slightly below the top of the left corner when viewed from the front side of the back side of the printer body 2, and viewed from the front side of the printer body 2. A built-in installation space X for the IC card authentication unit 20 is provided near the top surface of the right corner. The slot Z into which the wireless LAN card unit 30 is inserted and the built-in installation space X of the IC card authentication unit 20 have the largest linear distance on the plane when the printer body 2 is viewed from above as shown in the figure. It is located on or near the diagonal line xy that becomes larger (actually the longest).

すると、図4に環状の線r1、r2で示す電波干渉可能な範囲が、互いに離れる。もともと、これら無線LANカードユニット30やICカード認証ユニット20が生じさせる電波干渉可能範囲は小さいが、プリンタ本体2を小型化しても既述のような電波干称は生じにくくなる。   Then, the radio wave interference possible ranges indicated by the annular lines r1 and r2 in FIG. 4 are separated from each other. Originally, the radio wave interference possible range generated by the wireless LAN card unit 30 and the IC card authentication unit 20 is small. However, even if the printer main body 2 is downsized, the above-mentioned radio wave title is hardly generated.

<実施例2>
図5は、本発明の実施例2を示す概念図である。本実施例2も、無線LANカードユニット30が搭載されるプリンタ本体2の筐体のほぼ対角線位置に、ICカード認証ユニット20の内蔵設置スペースXを設けるという点では実施例1と同じであるが、無線LANカードユニット30を挿入するスロットZをプリンタ本体2の筐体の下部側に位置させている点が異なる。
<Example 2>
FIG. 5 is a conceptual diagram showing Example 2 of the present invention. The second embodiment is also the same as the first embodiment in that a built-in installation space X for the IC card authentication unit 20 is provided at a substantially diagonal position of the casing of the printer main body 2 on which the wireless LAN card unit 30 is mounted. The difference is that the slot Z into which the wireless LAN card unit 30 is inserted is positioned on the lower side of the casing of the printer main body 2.

なお図5では、この実施例2では、線r1、r2で示す電波干渉可能な範囲があたかも重なり合っているようであるが、プリンタ本体2の上方側から見て平面上に位置するものとして見た場合には直線距離としては同じであるので、図4に示す例と同様に電波干称は生じにくくなる。   In FIG. 5, in Example 2, the radio wave interference ranges indicated by lines r <b> 1 and r <b> 2 seem to overlap, but are assumed to be located on a plane when viewed from above the printer body 2. In this case, since the linear distance is the same, the radio wave name is unlikely to occur as in the example shown in FIG.

<実施例3>
なお本発明では、図6に示すように、ICカード認証ユニット20をプリンタ本体2の上面に載置するタイプであっても実施例1、2と同様であり、本発明はこのような外付けの形態を排除するものではない。
<Example 3>
In the present invention, as shown in FIG. 6, even if the IC card authentication unit 20 is of a type that is placed on the upper surface of the printer main body 2, it is the same as in the first and second embodiments. The form of is not excluded.
