Description

  The present invention relates to a certification system for certifying a holder or the like using a certification medium such as a card possessed.

  Proof of various licenses such as driver's license, identification, travel passport, travel visa, health insurance card, car verification, etc., are presented to the official in charge of certification or certification (authentication) equipment and the qualification pertaining to the person who presented it, It is a proof medium used in a system for proof of identity and the like, and many of them are in a card format, and various information necessary for proof relating to a person who presents is recorded. In this way, a certification system that proves the possessor with a certification medium such as a card is indispensable for the safety and smooth operation of various social mechanisms in a complex modern age.

  Some cards that serve as certification media include characters indicating information about the holder on the surface of the card, and the person in charge confirming the certification visually confirms the characters and photos. For example, information relating to a person is coded and recorded and checked by a reading device (reader) (utility model registration No. 3118160), or characters, photographs, etc. can be visually recognized from the surface, and coded information (electronic information) And barcodes can be read by a reading device (reader), and diversification is progressing.

  Accordingly, on the cards that serve as the certification medium, various important codes such as characters, figures, photographs, and barcodes are recorded (stored) as analog information or digital information on important personal information corresponding to the certification target.

Utility Model Registration No. 3118160

  As described above, important secret information of individuals corresponding to the subject of certification (individuals possessed and certified, representatives of corporations, representatives, etc.) is recorded (stored) in the cards that serve as certification media. Therefore, in the past, there was often a problem that when one handed over to another person due to loss, theft, etc., his / her secret information was stolen and misused. In addition, although they are not lost or stolen, there are many cases where information is unfairly read due to fraud on the side of the certification checker, which has become a social problem. In addition, personal information on cards was not stolen from colleagues in the company due to the problems of interpersonal relationships.

  In order to eliminate such troubles due to loss, theft, unauthorized reading, etc. of the certification medium, the present inventors considered the cause, and the cause was recorded on the certification medium itself all information necessary for the certification. I realized that it was.

  This point will be described in detail. For example, the name of the person's photo (real name, etc.), date of birth, country of current address (eg Japan), prefecture name, city county name, town name, street address (chome, number, issue), apartment name and building, In the case of a system that verifies the identity of the person by the room number, if the certification medium is stolen or lost, all of this information, ie the name of the person's photo (name, etc.), date of birth, The name of the current address (for example, Japan), prefecture name, city county name, town name, street address (chome, number, number), apartment house name and building, and room number will all be stolen and misuse of information Is possible.

  Therefore, the present inventor has studied and studied for many years in order to eliminate the possibility of misuse of information. Instead of recording all the information necessary for certification on a certification medium such as a card, a part of it Information that is not recorded on the card, thereby making it impossible to misuse the card, and at the time of certification, a groundbreaking system that allows the cardholder to prove by presenting information that is not recorded on the card And came up with the idea of this invention. That is, the present invention makes it possible to manage the safety of the information on the certification medium in such a manner that even if the certification medium such as a card is lost, stolen, or illegally read, the substantial information misuse is impossible. It aims to make possible.

  The proof system of claim 1 registers information of items necessary for proof for each proof object, proof medium issuing means for issuing a proof medium in which some information related to the registered information is recorded, When the necessity arises, the registration information registered in the certification medium issuing means is collated with all the registration information presented by the certification medium holder. And a certification medium holder, wherein the certification medium holder certifies the information of items necessary for the certification based on the related information recorded on the certification medium.

The certification system according to claim 2 registers information on all items necessary for certification (hereinafter referred to as “all item information”) for each certification object, and is necessary for the certification for each certification object. A certification medium issuing means for issuing a certification medium in which information of a specific part of a plurality of items (hereinafter referred to as “medium holding information”) is recorded, and all or a part of the registered certification targets. For each certification object, receiving or holding information of all items necessary for certification (all item information), and when the certification is required, the medium holding information registered in the certification medium issuing means, Collation with the medium holding information recorded on the certification medium presented by the certification medium holder (hereinafter referred to as “first collation”) and information other than the medium holding information registered in the certification medium issuing means; Presented by the above proof media holder Collation (hereinafter referred to as “second collation”) with information other than the recording medium holding information (hereinafter referred to as “owner presentation information”) results in the first and second collation being identical. Proof means for issuing a proof result of proof establishment when obtained,
It is characterized in that the proof medium holder makes the proof by the medium holding information recorded on the proof medium and the item information excluding the medium holding information from all item information presented at the time of illumination.

In the present invention, the subject of certification refers to a person, group, organization or the like who receives certification.
Information items include name (name, name, stage name, pen name, computer name, etc.), photograph, date of birth, nationality, country of address, state of address, city or county of address, town or village of address, The address number (chome, number, issue), the apartment name of the address, etc. can be the room name, but of course it is not limited to these.

  For example, in the case of an employee ID card, the employee ID, department, etc. can be information items. In the case of an insurance card, insurance documents, insurance number etc. can be added as information items. Depending on the type of item, the type of item may vary. The certification medium is the one possessed by the person to be certified (the person, representative of the corporation, representative), or the medium holding information is recorded, or a card, made of resin or paper, etc. However, the present invention is not necessarily limited thereto, and for example, an arm band configuration may be used. In short, anything other than a card can be a certification medium as long as it can be possessed and information can be written and read.

  The certification system according to claim 3 is the certification system according to claim 1 or 2, wherein the certification medium issuing means sets an ID for identifying the certification object when registering all item information for each certification object In addition, all the item information corresponding to the ID can be accessed through the ID, and the same ID is recorded together with the medium holding information on the issued certification medium.

  The proof system according to claim 4 is the proof system according to any one of claims 1 to 3, and when the copy proof medium issuance application is received from the proof object or its agent, the proof object has already been issued. It has a function of issuing a copy certification medium having a record of the same content as the certification medium.

  According to the certification system of claim 1 or 2, not all item information is recorded on the certification medium, but medium holding information which is information of some items excluding information recognized only by the owner himself, At the time of certification, all items registered by the certification medium issuing means provided by the owner himself / herself by operating the specified device as presentation information and in addition to this the unique information recognized only by the owner Since it can be proved by collating information (consisting of media holding information and owner-presented information), even if the certification media is lost or stolen, or all information in the media is stolen by unauthorized use , It can make practical information abuse impossible. Therefore, the safety management of the information on the certification medium becomes possible.

  For example, all items of information include a photograph of the subject (person), name (for example, name, pen name, etc.), date of birth, nationality, country of address, address prefecture, address city or county, address town or In the case of a room name such as village, address number (chome, number, number), address apartment, etc., each item of certification subject photo, nationality, country name, address prefecture, address city or county If it is media holding information, and other name, date of birth, address town or village, address of address (chome, number, issue), address apartment, etc., information of room name items as owner presentation information Even if the certification medium is lost and all of the information recorded on it is stolen, the owner-presented information unique to the owner is not stolen. Therefore, it becomes impossible to specify the owner by the stolen information, and information misuse is practically impossible.

  According to the certification system of claim 3, in the certification system of claim 1 or 2, an ID for specifying a certification target is set, and all item information corresponding to the ID is accessed through the ID and issued. Since the same ID is recorded on the certification medium together with the medium holding information, the certification object that is the owner of the certification medium is specified via the ID, and further recorded on the certification medium issuing means via the ID. It is possible to access all item information, and information management and certification management can be easily performed.

  According to the proof system of claim 4, in the proof system of any one of claims 1 to 3, when a copy proof medium issuance application is received from the proof object or its agent, the proof object has already been issued. Since it has a function to issue a copy certification medium having the same content record as the certification medium, the certification medium (original) is used under the more complete control and the copy certification medium is used for certification. Even if troubles such as loss or theft occur, the certification medium (original) itself still exists. After that, prompt action such as using the certification medium (original) or reissuing the copy certification medium Is possible.

  Basically, the proof system of the present invention basically provides input access to the certification means that records and holds each required item information as owner-provided information so that the person himself can prove that the person himself is, for example. The proof is established when the collation is completed (claim 1).

  In addition, a part of each item information is recorded on the certification medium, and specifically, all item information is registered so that it can be input and accessed by the owner-presentation information. Information that consists of the media holding information present in the presented certification medium and the holder presentation information presented by the owner of the certification medium at the time of certification And all item information recorded on the issuer is verified (claim 2). In order to smoothly register all item information and verify at the time of verification, It is preferable to set an ID for specifying a certification target and enable access to information using this ID as a key.

  Further, when a copy certification medium in which the same information as the certification medium is recorded can be issued (Claim 4), the certification medium (original) is possessed by the copy certification medium and used for certification under the more complete management. It becomes possible.

  The types of certifications (certification media) subject to the present invention include identification cards, employee ID cards, prepaid cards, travel passports, travel visas, etc., as well as all existing certificates issued by private and public institutions, All types of proofs that will appear in the future are included, and these can also be armband configurations.

Transmit to the central part 2 of the certification system. The certification medium issuing units 8 ₁ , 8 ₂ ,... 8 _n have a sub computer (not shown) and issue a certification medium 10 in response to a certification medium issuing command from the certification system central unit 2. is there.

In this embodiment, one certification medium application unit, for example, 6 ₁ and one certification medium issuing unit, for example, 8 _1, and one other certification medium application unit, for example, 6 _2, and one certification medium issuing unit, for example, 8 ₂ , the certification medium application unit 6 and the certification medium issuing unit 8 are provided adjacent to each other, but may be incorporated in one device.

  Then, a person applying for issuance of a certification medium may directly operate the certification medium application unit 6 to make necessary inputs and directly receive the certification medium 10 issued from the certification medium issuing unit 8. Then, each branch of the administrative agency or administrative scriveners, traders, etc. (agents) with specific qualifications submit the application documents to those who apply for the issuance of certification media, and the certification media application department 6 based on the application documents , The necessary input may be performed, and the certification medium 10 issued from the certification medium issuing unit 8 may be handed to the applicant immediately, on the same day, or on a later day.

The certification units 12 ₁ , 12 ₂ ,... 12 _n read information (medium holding information) that has been issued and recorded on the presented certification medium 10, for example, scattered all over Japan or around the world. , The information presented by the presenter and the information presented by the presenter is accepted, the information obtained by combining the two information and the information recorded in the central part 2 of the proof system are collated, and the proof result information that the proof is established when they match To emit.

  FIG. 2A shows data for each certification object recorded by the certification application unit 6, and each certification object data includes a certification object identification ID for identifying the certification object, medium holding information Da, and the owner's presentation. It consists of information Db. A combination of the medium holding information Da and the owner presentation information Db is referred to as all item information.

  FIG. 2B shows data recorded in the certification medium 10 possessed by each certification object, and the data is certification object identification IDx and medium holding information Dax. The portion of the block indicated by the two-dot chain line in FIG. 2 is not recorded on the certification medium. In this example, all items of information include a photo of the subject (person), name (for example, name, pen name, etc.), date of birth, nationality, country of address, state of address, city or county of address, address It is assumed that the name is a room name such as a town or village, an address number (chome, number, issue), an apartment of an address.

  Then, information on each item of the certification target photograph, nationality, country name of the address, address prefecture, address city or county is recorded on the card 10 constituting the certification medium together with the certification target identification ID. It shall be. However, the proof medium (for example, a card) 10 has other information, such as name, date of birth, address town or village, address number (chome, number, issue), address It is assumed that the information of the room name items such as no condominium is not recorded. Therefore, even if the proof medium (for example, the card) 10 is stolen or the information recorded on it is illegally read, it can be prevented from being misused.

Next, the operation of the certification system central part 2 will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.
(1) “Application?”
When the program starts, it is determined whether or not there is an issue application from any of the certification medium application units 6. If the determination result is “No”, the determination “application?” Is repeated until the determination result “Yes” is obtained.
(2) “Application review”
If the determination result of “application?” In step (1) is “Yes”, it is checked whether the application content satisfies a predetermined application condition.

(3) “Pass?”
It is determined whether or not the result of the examination is acceptable. If the result is acceptable, a determination result of “Yes” is given.
(4) “Notification of failure”
When the result of the determination of “pass?” In the above step (3) is “No”, a failure notification indicating the result and the location and reason of the failure is transmitted to the certification medium application unit 6, and after the transmission Return to step (1).

(5) "Registration"
If the result of the determination of “pass?” In step (3) is “Yes”, the certification target specific ID applied to the database of its own main computer 4 and all item information corresponding thereto [see FIG. 2 (A)] Register.
(6) “Issuance order”
When the “registration” in step (5) is completed, the certification target specific ID and the medium holding information Da [see FIG. 2B] are transmitted to the certification medium issuing unit 8 corresponding to (provided with) the certification medium application unit 6. The certification medium issuing unit 8 is instructed to issue the certification medium 10. The certification medium issuing unit 8 cannot issue the certification medium 10 unless it receives the command.

(7) “Issuance report?”
It is determined whether or not an issuance report has been received from the certifying medium issuing unit 8 to report that the issuance of the proof medium 10 based on the issuance permission has been completed. If the determination result is “No”, the process returns to step (1).

(8) "Registration information transmission"
If the determination result of "issue reports?" In step (7) is "Yes", the certification unit 12 _1, 12 _2, to · · · 12 _n, all the item information and the corresponding certification target specific ID [See FIG. 2A]. Thus, each certificate portions _{12 1, 12 2, ··· 12} n becomes capable of proof state.
Incidentally, the registration information transmitting, all proving unit 12 _1, 12 _2, rather than sending the · · · 12 _n, may be sent to some of the certification unit 12 only. For example, a part of the information of the certification target identification ID may be read so that registration information is not transmitted to the certification unit 12 where there is no possibility of certification in relation to the certification target. .

(9) “Stop condition?”
It is determined whether or not a preset stop condition of the main computer 4 (for example, maintenance, entering a stop time period, etc.) is satisfied. If the determination result is “No”, that is, if it is not satisfied, Return to step (1). That is, the operations of steps (1) to (9) are repeated. If the determination result is “Yes”, the operation ends.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the operation of each certification medium application unit 6.
(21) “Application?”
The determination of whether or not there has been an application for issuance is repeated until a determination result of “Yes” is obtained.
(22) “Input acceptance”
If the determination result in step (21) is “Yes”, the operation for prompting the input for the application and accepting the input if there is a corresponding input is repeated until the input of all necessary items is completed. By this input, all item information shown in FIG. 2A is automatically input.

(23) “Review”
When the input acceptance in step (22) is completed, the input content is examined, and it is examined whether or not the certification medium issuance condition is satisfied.
(24) “Pass?”
It is determined whether or not the result of the examination in step (23) is acceptable.
(25) “Failure display”
When the determination result of step (24) is “No”, not only a failure is displayed and the fact of the failure is indicated, but also the failure location and the reason for failure are displayed, and the correction of the failure location is prompted.
Thereafter, the process returns to step (21).

(26) “Set certification target specific ID”
When the determination result of “pass?” In the above step (24) is “Yes”, the ID for specifying the certification target, that is, the certification target identification ID is set. Even if the certification system is worldwide, this certification target specific ID must be different for each certification target, and the same ID must be set for different certification targets. There must be. As a method of avoiding duplicate setting of certification target specific IDs, a different application part ID is set for each certification target medium application part, and the ID and a numerical value indicating the year, month, day, and time of the year in the application, for example. There is a method of combining with. Alternatively, there is a method of combining the application part ID, the date of application, and the serial number indicating the application order of the day.

(27) “Send registration information”
When the “certification target specific ID setting” in step (26) is completed, the information shown in FIG. 2A, which includes the verification target specific ID and all item information, is transmitted to the main computer 4 of the certification system central part 2. When sent to the computer 4, the certification system central unit 2 conducts the examination as described above. This examination is performed by double checking and checking of errors occurring between the certification medium application unit 6 and the computer 4. It has one significance.

(28) “Stop condition?”
It is determined whether or not a preset stop condition (for example, maintenance, entering a non-business hours, etc.) is satisfied. If the determination result is “No”, that is, if not satisfied, step (21 Return to). That is, unless the stop condition is satisfied, the operations of steps (21) to (27) are repeated. If the determination result is “Yes”, the operation ends.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the operation of the certification medium issuing unit 8.
(31) “Issuance command?”
When the operation is started, it is determined whether or not an issuing command is issued from the main computer 4 of the certification system central part 2. This issue command, if an application for certification medium from the certification medium application unit 6, such as 6 _1, after the verification system central unit 2 has registered the registered information after examination, the certification medium application unit 6, for example 6 _The certifying medium issuing unit 8 corresponding to ₁ is instructed to issue the proof medium 10 to, for example, 8 ₁ . This issuance command is accompanied by transmission of a certification target identification ID and medium holding information Da information [see FIG. 2B] in addition to a signal instructing issuance. This determination is repeated until a determination result of “Yes” is obtained.

(32) “Issuance process”
If the determination result of “issue command?” In step 31 is “Yes”, issue processing is performed.
Specifically, the issuing process is a process of writing a certification target identification ID such as magnetism or barcode and medium holding information Da on a certification medium prepared in advance, such as a card.
(33) “Issuance finished?”
Then, the determination as to whether or not the issuing process has been completed is repeated until a determination result of “Yes” is obtained. If the determination result is “No”, the process returns to the “issue process” in step (32).

(34) “Issuance report”
If the determination result of “Issuance completed?” In step (33) is “Yes”, that is, when the issuance is completed, the fact that the issuance has been completed is reported to the main computer 4 of the certification system central part 2. As described above, when the main computer 4 receives the report, it sends information necessary for the certification to the certification unit 12.
(35) “Stop condition?”
When the issuance report ends, it is determined whether or not a preset stop condition (for example, maintenance, entering a non-business hours, etc.) is satisfied, and if the determination result is “No”, that is, not satisfied Return to step (21). That is, the operations of steps (31) to (34) are repeated. If the determination result is “Yes”, the operation ends.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the operation of the certification unit 12.
(41) “Registration information received?”
When the operation starts, it is determined whether or not transmission of registration information from the main computer 4 of the certification system central part 2 has been received. When there is a certification medium application from one of the certification medium application sections 6, the certification system central part 2 examines it, and if it passes, the certification target specific ID and all item information [see FIG. Register in the database, and then issue an issuance command to the certification medium issuing unit 8 to issue the certification medium 10. Thereafter, the registration information is transmitted to all or a part of the certification units 12 so that verification can be performed. . This “registration information reception?” Is a step of determining whether or not registration information transmission from the certification system central part 2 has been received.

(42) "Information registration"
If the determination result in step (41) is “Yes”, the information is registered as data for verification. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step (59) described later. See the reference “C”.
(43) "Request for proof?"
If the determination result in step (41) is “No”, it is determined whether or not a certification request has been made. If the determination result is “No”, the process returns to step (41).

(44) “Insert?”
If the determination result in step (43) is “Yes”, it is determined whether or not the certification medium 10 has been inserted into the certification medium insertion section of the certification section 12.
(45) “Insertion instruction display”
If the determination result in step (44) is “No”, a display for instructing insertion of the certification medium 10 into the certification unit 12 is displayed. Then, the process returns to step (44).

(46) "First verification"
When the determination result of the above step (44) is “Yes”, that is, when the insertion of the certification medium 10 into the insertion part of the certification part 12 is confirmed, the first verification is performed. This first collation was recorded on the media holding information Da [see FIG. 2A] received by the certification unit 12 from the certification system central unit 2 and the certification medium 10 inserted in the insertion unit of the certification unit 12. The medium holding information Da is compared to confirm whether or not they match.

(47) “Pass?”
Based on the result of the first collation, it is determined whether it is acceptable (the two pieces of information Da / Da to be compared match) or unsuccessful (the two pieces of information Da / Da to be compared do not match). If it passes, it is “Yes”, and if it fails, it is “No”.
(48) “Failure display”
If the determination result in step (47) is “No”, a failure display indicating failure is displayed.
(49) “Discharge”
In step (48), the failure indication is displayed, and the inserted certification medium 10 is ejected from the insertion portion.

(50) "Information presentation prompt"
If the determination result in step (47) is “Yes”, that is, if the result of the first collation is coincident, a display prompting the holder of the certification medium 10 to present the holder presentation information Db is displayed. .
(51) “Presentation input?”
It is determined whether or not the holder presentation information Db has been input. If the determination result is “No”, the process returns to step (50).

(52) “Second verification”
When the determination result of step (51) is “Yes”, when the second collation, that is, when the presentation information Db is input prompted by the information presentation prompt display, the presentation information Db and the certification object are registered. The presentation information Db of the information is collated.
(53) “Pass?”
It is determined whether the result of the second collation in step (52) is pass (the two pieces of information Db and Db to be compared match) or fail (the two pieces of information Db and Db to be compared do not match). To do. If it passes, it is “Yes”, and if it fails, it is “No”.

(54) “Incomplete input display”
If the determination result in the above step (53) is “No”, that is, if a result of inconsistency is obtained in the second collation, the input is incomplete and an input incomplete display that prompts the corrected presentation input is displayed.
(55) “q = q + 1”
Next, the stored value q of the register (initial value 0) for storing the number of input deficiency displays is incremented by one.

(56) “q> Q?”
Then, it is determined whether or not the register value q has exceeded a preset number of times Q (for example, 5 times).
Thus, counting the number of input deficiency display q and determining whether the value q exceeds the set number Q (for example, 5 times) is impossible when the number of input deficiency exceeds the set number Q. This is to stop further presentation. If the correction presentation of incomplete input deficiency is allowed, there is a possibility that the proof medium 10 that should not be proved may be proved, and there is a possibility of illegal use. Set it. The setting number Q is basically set by the certification system provider and the administrator. If the determination result is “No”, the process returns to step (50), and the information presentation prompt is displayed.

(57) “Correction instruction display”

  As is apparent from the above description, in the certification system of the present embodiment, an application for issuing the certification medium 10 is received by the certification medium application unit 6, and all the applications shown in FIG. The item information Da and Db are sent to the certification system central part 2 together with the certification target identification ID, and the information is measured by the certification system central part 2 after examination. Thereafter, the certification system central unit 2 sends the medium holding information Da of all the registered item information together with the certification target identification ID to the certification medium issuing unit 8, and the certification target identification ID and the medium are sent to the certification medium issuing unit 8. The certification medium 10 in which the holding information Da is recorded is issued.

  When the certificate issuing unit 8 receives the issuing command from the certificate issuing unit 8, the certificate issuing unit 8 issues the certification medium 10 in which the certification target specific ID and the medium holding information Da are recorded. Thereafter, an issuance report notifying that the issuance of the certification medium 10 has been completed is sent to the certification system central part 2. Then, the certification system central unit 2 sends registration information to all or some of the certification units 12 so that the certification unit 12 can perform certification. Each certification unit 12 registers registration information when it is sent from the certification system central unit 2, and performs certification if a certification request is received. The proof is done through two verifications. The first collation compares the proof medium holding information Da recorded in the proof section 12 with the proof medium holding information Da recorded in the proof medium 10 inserted in the proof section 12 by the proof medium holder, and matches. It is determined whether or not. If they do not match, the certification medium 10 is ejected.

  When the first verification is passed, the second verification is performed. This verification is performed when the holder presenting information Db recorded in the certification unit 12 and the certification medium owner are prompted by the information presentation prompting display. The presented owner presentation information Db is compared to determine whether or not they match. If they do not match, a correction instruction display 57 indicating that fact and a correction instruction is displayed to prompt the corrected presentation. When the number of corrections q exceeds the predetermined number Q, the proof medium 10 is ejected after displaying the proof impossible display. Therefore, according to the proof system of the present invention, even if not all the information necessary for the proof is recorded on the proof medium 10, the verification necessary for the proof is performed by the recorded contents of the proof medium 10 and the information presented by the owner. Is possible. Therefore, it is possible to prevent troubles caused by unauthorized use such as theft, loss or skimming of the certification medium 10.
