Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for creating a character of an electronic stamp that prints out various types of characters based on print character data and an electronic stamp apparatus using the method.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In the past, stamps and stamps used for proofing, etc. are engraved with unique characters and symbols on a rubber plate or wood plate, and after applying ink for vermilion or stamps, transfer this to the paper surface. I am using it. The character forms of the seal stamp and the stamp thus created have the proof power as a unique seal stamp or stamp because the carved character forms are slightly different depending on the creator even if the characters are the same.

In recent years, with the development of printers,
Electronic stamps that can print out various types of characters by changing print character data to be input are used. This electronic stamp is a printer attached to a small electronic device such as a calculator, and for example, a logo mark unique to the store can be printed on the end of the receipt.

As a method of printing a unique character form using such an electronic stamp, for example, as shown in FIG. 9 which enumerates the character form elements, first, there is a character prototype, and there is a character prototype. Then, a unique character form was created depending on the character modification.

In FIG. 9, as the character form elements, the inclination of the character (the inclination of the character itself), the vertical balance (whether the vertical center position of the character form is upward or downward), the leading edge processing (the character line of the leading edge character). Minute decoration), termination processing (decoration of character line segment of the terminal character), inclination of the character string (the entire character string is inclined like rising to the right or falling to the right), etc.

FIG. 10 is a flowchart for creating a character of a conventional electronic stamp. First, after inputting character prototype data (step S1), each of the above five types of character form elements is "0". ~ 10 up to "9"
Designation is performed in stages (step S2), and the character prototype is modified according to the designated character form element to create character data having a new form (step S3).
Then, the created character data is printed by the printer (step S4).

[0007]

However, according to such a conventional method of creating a character for an electronic stamp, as shown in FIG.
As shown in 1, the character prototype data input in P1,
Create new character data in P3 based on the character form element data for character modification input in P2,
Printing is performed at P4. Therefore, in the conventional electronic stamp, it is possible to relatively easily infer the input character form element data based on the degree of character modification of the printed result. This is because the character form to be printed is directly specified by the character form element data.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 12, "YAMADA" is input as the character prototype data, and the character inclination is "0", the vertical balance is "5", the leading edge processing is "1", When the 5-digit character form element data of "05134" designating the terminal processing "3" and the inclination "4" of the character string is input, the modified character is printed as shown. The character morphology is the result of combining the previously specified character morphology elements. For example, as shown in FIG.
Of the character form elements designated in FIG. 12, if only the data of the fourth digit end processing is changed from “3” to “9”,
Since the shapes and lengths of the character line segments at the end portions are different, the character form element can be inferred from the form of the character. Therefore,
Since the same character form can be created by anyone if the character form element is known from the character form, there is a problem in that the electronic stamp cannot have the same proof power as an ordinary stamp or stamp.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to make it possible to create a unique printed design which cannot be imitated by others because the same printed design cannot be easily created only by looking at the printed character form. It is an object of the present invention to provide a stamp character creation method and an electronic stamp device using the method.

According to a seventh aspect of the present invention, there is provided an electronic stamp device for printing a character, a symbol, or a seal image having a unique form by printing character data created by using the electronic stamp character creating method,

Data conversion means for converting into character form element data; print character data creating means for creating print character data that character-modifies the input character prototype data based on the data converted character form element data; The above object is achieved by including a printing unit that prints characters using the created print character data.

[0017]

In the electronic stamp character creating method according to the first aspect of the present invention, prototype data of a print character is input, arbitrary code data for applying a unique character modification to the print character is input, and the input code data is converted. Based on the arithmetic expression, it is converted into character form element data for designating a predetermined character form, and based on the character form element data, character prototype data is character-modified to create print character data, which is printed.

Therefore, since the data conversion is performed between the code data input by the user and the character form element data that determines the form of the character through an arithmetic expression, the character form and the code data directly correspond to each other. Absent. For this reason, it is not possible to easily guess the code data for making a character of the same shape just by looking at the character shape, and it is possible to print the character with a unique shape that cannot be imitated by others. .

Further, in the electronic stamp character creating method according to the second aspect of the present invention, the arithmetic expression used in the data converting step is based on an arithmetic result obtained by adding a certain condition to the arithmetic result of the input code data. To create character form element data.

Therefore, since it is possible to obtain an arithmetic expression in which it is difficult to infer the original code data from the morphological element of the character, it is possible to print a character having a unique morphology that cannot be easily imitated by others. .

Further, in the electronic stamp character creating method according to the third aspect, the code data is A, B, C, D, E ...
... and the character form element data is a, b, c, d, e
, Where a = {(A + B + C + D + E ...) × A} ones position b = {(A + B + C + D + E ...) × B} ones position c = {(A + B + C + D + E ...) × C} ones position The unit of d = {(A + B + C + D + E ...) × D} is the unit of e = {(A + B + C + D + E ...) × E}.

Therefore, when calculating one character form element, since other code data are related, even if one code data is different, the value of another character form element changes, and It is hard to guess the code data of.

According to the electronic stamp character creating method of the fourth aspect, the code data is A, B, C, D, E ...
And the character form element data is a, b, c, d, e ...
, Where a = {(A + B + C + D + E ...) × A + 1} ones position b = {(A + B + C + D + E ...) × B + 3} ones position c = {(A + B + C + D + E ...) × C + 5} ones position The unit expression of the unit d = {(A + B + C + D + E ...) × D + 7} e = {(A + B + C + D + E ...) × E + 9} is used.

Therefore, even if all the code data is "0", the character form element data can be prevented from becoming "0", and the original code data can be hard to guess.

In addition, in the electronic stamp character creating method according to the fifth aspect, the code data is A, B, C, D, E ...
And the ones digit of the sum of each character code of the character prototype is K
And the character form element data is a, b, c, d, e ...
, Where a = {(A + B + C + D + E ... × K) × A + 1} one's place b = {(A + B + C + D + E ... × K) × B + 3} one's place c = {(A + B + C + D + E ... × K) 1's position of × C + 5} d = {(A + B + C + D + E ... × K) × D + 7} 1s position e = {(A + B + C + D + E ... × K) × E + 9} 1s position ... ing.

Therefore, by adding the character prototype data to the arithmetic expression, the change of the character morphological element data calculated from the code data becomes complicated, and the original code data can be more difficult to guess.

According to the electronic stamp character creating method of the sixth aspect, the code data is A, B, C, D, E ...
And the character form element data is a, b, c, d, e, f, g ... which is larger than the number of code data, a = {(A + B + C + D + E ...) × A} b = {(A + B + C + D + E ...) × B} ones position c = {(A + B + C + D + E ...) × C} ones position d = {(A + B + C + D + E ...) × D} ones position e = {(A + B + C + D + E) ……) × E × A} ones position f = {(A + B + C + D + E ……) × A × B} ones position g = {(A + B + C + D + E ……) × B × C} ones position ... Is used.

Therefore, since it is possible to calculate more character form elements than the number of digits of the input code data, the number of digits of the code data is reduced so that the user can easily remember,
It is possible to specify a character having a desired form using many character form elements.

Further, in the electronic stamp apparatus according to the seventh aspect, the prototype data of the print character and the arbitrary code data for applying the character modification unique to the print character are input from the data input means, and the data conversion means codes the code. The data is arithmetically processed to be converted into character form element data for designating a specific character form, and the print character data creating means character-modifies the character prototype data based on the character form element data to create print character data, and print it. The print character data is printed by the means.

Therefore, it is not possible to easily deduce the code data for making a character having the same shape by simply looking at the shape of the printed character, and it is possible to identify a character having a unique shape that cannot be imitated by others. Can be printed.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiments of a method for creating a character of an electronic stamp according to the present invention and an electronic stamp apparatus using the method will be described below with reference to FIGS. First, FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a configuration of an electronic stamp device 1 of the present embodiment, which is implemented as an electronic stamp device having a calculator function here. The electronic stamp device 1 includes an input unit 2, an arithmetic processing unit 3, a storage unit 4, a display unit 5, a printing unit 6, a control unit 7, and the like.

The input unit 2 is used for inputting arbitrary character prototype data, code data, and character form element data by an operator's operation, and for inputting other data and operating a calculator. Control unit 7 described later
Be transmitted to.

The arithmetic processing unit 3 is a characteristic component of the present invention and calculates a certain character form element data by performing arithmetic processing using a predetermined arithmetic expression based on the code data input by the operator. And output to the control unit 7.
When used as a calculator, the four arithmetic operations are performed based on key operations.

The storage unit 4 is a ROM (Read Only Memory).
And RAM (Random Access Memory)
The electronic stamp device 1 is entirely controlled according to the basic program stored in M, and the data input from the input unit 2 is temporarily stored in the RAM to save and manage the data.

The display unit 4 displays the data sequentially input from the input unit 2 as a numerical value, displays the data read from the storage unit 4, and displays the calculation result of the calculation processing unit 3. To do Here, a liquid crystal display (LCD) that is small and lightweight and consumes less power is used as a display unit to be mounted on a small electronic device.

The printing unit 6 is a printer that not only displays the processing result of the arithmetic processing in the arithmetic processing unit 3 on the display unit 5 but also prints out the result in order to save it.
The thermal heads are arranged in an array, each head is selectively heated, and the ink of the ink ribbon at the heated portion is transferred onto the paper surface to print a stamp of a desired shape.

The control unit 7 has a CPU (Central Processing).
Unit) etc., and by controlling the operations between the above-mentioned units, in this embodiment, according to the character prototype data and the code data input by the operator, a modified character that cannot be easily imitated by another person is generated. Print with good reproducibility.

FIG. 2 is an external view of the electronic stamp device 1 of FIG. 1, which includes a display unit 5 composed of an LCD, a printing unit 6 for printing out by an electronic stamp, and an input unit 2. In particular, the input unit 2 is composed of various keys, for example, an arrow key 2a, a numeric keypad 2b, an EXE (execution) key 2c, and ST.
In addition to the AMP (print) key 2d, there are a C (clear) key, an AC (all clear) key, a four arithmetic calculation (+ − × ÷ =.) Key, which are used when using the calculator function.

As described above, the electronic stamp device of this embodiment is constructed, and its operation will be described below. First, the STAMP key 2d of the input unit 2 shown in FIG. 2 is a key for executing the stamp function. For example, when character prototype data is registered in the RAM of the storage unit 4,
By pressing the STAMP key 2d shown in FIG.
The registered character prototype is displayed on the display unit 5.

Then, by pressing the EXE key 2c, printing is started. The electronic stamp device of this embodiment does not reproduce the same character only by looking at the character form printed by a person other than the operator who prints a character that is uniquely modified by the operator on a predetermined character prototype. By doing so, it is an electronic stamp that creates unique characters such as signatures and seals that can be given proof power.

FIG. 3 is a flow chart showing a procedure for printing a stamp character with a certain character modification. When the character prototype data is registered as described above, the STAMP key 2d is pressed to display the registered character prototype on the display unit 5 for confirmation.

However, when using the electronic stamp device,
Usually, since the character prototype data is not registered, the character prototype data to be printed out is input (step S11).

In the operation of inputting the character prototype data, the characters displayed on the cursor 5a in the display unit 5 are sequentially displayed by using the respective arrow keys (← ↑ ↓ →) 2a.

For example, every time the "↓" key is pressed, "A, B, C ..." Is sequentially displayed on the cursor 5a in the display section 5. Also, every time the "↑" key is pressed, the displayed contents are displayed in reverse on the cursor 5a in the display unit 5, such as "C, B, A, Z, X, Y ...". Then, the "←" key or the "→" key is pressed at the place to be confirmed.

The “→” key moves the cursor to the next character input area after the displayed character is confirmed by pressing the key. At this time, a new character prototype data input is awaited, and the input character can be added by the same procedure as above. The "←" key is used to return the cursor to the front, and the "↑" key and the "↓" key can be used together to correct the characters already input.

When the input of the character prototype data is completed by the above operation, the EXE key 2c is pressed to register. The control unit 7 saves the character prototype data in the RAM of the storage unit 4 by the above operation.

Next, the code data for determining the character form element data is input (step S12). This code data is input as pass code data that is not known to others. The code data input operation is "0,
Press the ten keys 2b up to 1, 2, ..., 9 ”to directly input an arbitrary five-digit code, or use the arrow keys 2a to confirm and input the sequentially displayed numbers. When the input of the code data is completed, the EXE key 2c is pressed to register.

Next, the control section 7 performs an arithmetic processing on the registered code data by using a predetermined arithmetic expression (step S13) to convert each data value of the code data and obtain the arithmetic result. The data is stored in the storage unit 4 as character form element data (step S14).

In the present embodiment, when the code data is arithmetically processed and converted as described above, it is the value of the character form element data as the result of the arithmetic operation, that is, the original value from the form of the character to be printed. Various arithmetic expressions are used so that the code data cannot be easily guessed.

(Equation 1) In the equation 1, it is assumed that the above code data is composed of five digit numbers A, B, C, D and E, and the character form element data calculated by the operation is a. , B, c, d, e, the data is converted by the following formula. Here, the code data and the character form element data have the same number of digits.

A = {(A + B + C + D + E) × A} one's place b = {(A + B + C + D + E) × B} one's place c = {(A + B + C + D + E) × C} one's place d = {(A + B + C + D + E) × D 1's digit e = {(A + B + C + D + E) × E} 1's digit In the above equation, when calculating, for example, “a” of one character form element, 1 of the code data is added to the sum of the code data.
The ones digit of the result obtained by multiplying the digit “A” is designated as “a”.
"B" to "e" are similarly obtained. In this way, by relating other code data to the total sum of code data, even if one code data is different, the values of other character form elements will change, and the original code data will be inferred. It can be quiet.

(Equation 2) Also in the case of the equation 2, the code data is composed of five digit numbers A, B, C, D and E, and the character form element data calculated by the operation is a, When b, c, d, and e are used, data conversion is performed by the following formula. Also in the case of the arithmetic expression 2, the code data and the character form element data have the same number of digits.

A = {(A + B + C + D + E) × A + 1} one's place b = {(A + B + C + D + E) × B + 3} one's place c = {(A + B + C + D + E) × C + 5} one's place d = {(A + B + C + D + E) × D + 7 1's place e = {(A + B + C + D + E) × E + 9} 1's place In the above formula, when calculating, for example, “a” of one character form element, 1 of the code data is added to the sum of the code data.
Here, the result obtained by adding an odd number “1” to the result obtained by multiplying the digit “A” is “a”. The same arithmetic processing is performed for the character form element "b" and below,
The odd numbers to be sequentially added are changed to "3, 5, 7, 9". As a result, even if the code data includes "0", the character form element corresponding to the code data does not become "0", and the original code data can be more difficult to guess.

(Equation 3) Also in the case of the equation 3, the code data is assumed to be composed of five-digit numbers A, B, C, D, and E, and the sum of each character code of the inputted character prototype is assumed. When the 1's digit of K is K and the character form element data calculated by the calculation is a, b, c, d, e, data conversion is performed by the following equation. Also in the case of the arithmetic expression 3, the code data and the character form element data have the same number of digits.

A = {(A + B + C + D + E × K) × A + 1} 1's place b = {(A + B + C + D + E × K) × B + 3} 1's place c = {(A + B + C + D + E × K) × C + 5} 1's place d = 1's digit of {(A + B + C + D + E × K) × D + 7} e = {(A + B + C + D + E × K) × E + 9} 1's digit In the above formula, when calculating, for example, “a” of one character form element, code data Is multiplied by the above-mentioned character prototype condition K and is multiplied by "A" in the first digit of the code data.
The ones digit of the result of adding is set to "a". Similarly, the arithmetic processing is performed for the character form element “b” and thereafter, and the odd numbers to be sequentially added are changed to “3, 5, 7, 9”. As a result, since the character prototype condition K is added to the above arithmetic expression, the change in the arithmetic result becomes more complicated, and it is difficult to guess the original code data.

(Equation 4) In the case of the equation 4, the code data is composed of five-digit numbers A, B, C, D and E, and the character form element data calculated by the operation is the code. More than data a, b, c, d, e, f,
If it consists of 7 digits of g,
Data is converted.

A = {(A + B + C + D + E) × A} one's place b = {(A + B + C + D + E) × B} one's place c = {(A + B + C + D + E) × C} one's place d = {(A + B + C + D + E) × D 1's digit e = {(A + B + C + D + E) × E × A} 1's digit f = {(A + B + C + D + E) × A × B} 1's digit g = {(A + B + C + D + E) × B × C} 1's digit In the above expression, the character form elements “a” to “d” are the same as those in the above-described arithmetic expression 1, but the character form element “e” to
With "g", it is possible to calculate character morphological element data that has more digits than the number of digits of code data simply by recombining and multiplying "A, B, C" of the code data used when calculating the previous character morphological element You can Therefore, the operator
Even when creating a character with complex character modifications by changing many character form elements, each operator only needs to remember code data with a small number of digits, and it is a unique form that others cannot easily imitate. Characters can be printed at any time.

Therefore, the electronic stamp device of this embodiment is
It is possible for each operator to have a unique form to print using an electronic stamp device by simply determining arbitrary code data such as a personal identification number, and it can be used as a substitute for a signature or seal. Become.

Returning to the flowchart of FIG. 3 again, in step S15, print character data of a new form in which the character prototype is modified based on the character form element data converted from the code data by the above arithmetic expression is created, The data is stored in the RAM of the storage unit 4 while being displayed on the display unit 5.

Then, the operator executes the EXE of the input unit 2.
When the key 2c is pressed, the control unit 7 reads out the print character data created as described above from the storage unit 4 and outputs the print character data to the printing unit 6, and prints out a character having a form peculiar to the operator (step S16).

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing the features of the method for creating a character of an electronic stamp according to this embodiment. That is, as can be seen by comparing FIG. 4 with FIG. 11 of the conventional example, conventionally, when character data is created in P3, character modification is performed by the character form element data P2 directly input to the character prototype P1. There is. However, in this embodiment, when creating character data in P15, each operator inputs his or her own code data to the character prototype P11 (P12), and the code data is subjected to arithmetic processing by a predetermined arithmetic expression ( P1
3) The character prototype data P11 is converted into a completely different code string and used as character form element data.

As described above, in the electronic stamp apparatus of the present invention, since the relationship between the character form to be printed and the code data is not direct as in the conventional case, the code data to be input can be estimated only by looking at the character form. There is an advantage that characters that cannot be imitated by others can be printed with good reproducibility.

FIG. 5 and FIG. 6 are views showing an example in which alphabetic characters are created by the electronic stamp device of the present embodiment, and are referred to as “05134” so as to be compared with FIGS. 12 and 13 of the conventional example. This is a case where two types of data “05194” are input.

As shown in FIG. 5, the character prototype is "YAMA."
Even if the input code data is "05134" which is the same as the character form element of FIG. 12, the character form element calculated by the operation is "18861", and data completely different from the code data is generated. Since the characters are printed according to the character form element, it is impossible to estimate the code data to be input only by looking at the character form of the print result.

Further, as shown in FIG. 6, when the code data "05194" which is the same as the character form element of FIG. 13 is input, the code data starts from "3" in the fourth digit as compared with the case of FIG. Although only changed to "9", the character form element calculated by the operation becomes "18485",
The character form element “18861” is the third digit, the fourth digit,
The 5th digit code is different. In this way, since the character form element of the code data to be input changes greatly even if the code data to be input is changed a little, even if the code data is similar, characters with similar forms are not always printed. Unique characters can now be printed depending on the data.

Further, FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of a case where a kanji is created by the electronic stamp device of this embodiment. Figure 7
As shown in (a), when the operator inputs the character prototype “Yamada” and the code data “05134”, the arithmetic processing unit 3 converts the code data into character form element data, and the calculated character form. By modifying the character prototype based on the element data, characters in the form shown in FIG.

Then, as shown in FIG. 9B, the print result can be changed to a different character form by slightly changing the code data to "05194".

FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of a case where an electronic stamp device of this embodiment creates a seal imprint. Figure 8
Although not shown in (a), when a character prototype “Yamada” surrounded by a line segment of a predetermined shape like a seal imprint is input and the operator inputs code data “05134”,
The arithmetic processing unit 3 converts the code data into character morphological element data, and modifies the character prototype based on the calculated character morphological element data, whereby a seal imprint having a form as shown in FIG. It

Then, as shown in FIG. 11B, by slightly changing the code data to "05194", it is possible to create a seal imprint having a different form from that shown in FIG.
In this way, even when creating and printing alphabets, kanji, or imprints that are unique to each operator, each operator remembers, for example, "05134" as unique code data, and stores it together with the character prototype. By inputting this code data, it is possible to always print characters in the same form. A character created by the electronic stamp device according to the present embodiment cannot print a character of the same shape even if a character form element inferred from the shape is input, and cannot be imitated by others like a signature. It can be used as a character with proof and is very convenient. For example, by adding a signature created by an electronic stamp device to the calculation print result of the printer calculator, it can be used as proof of the calculated person. Further, since it can be used as a substitute for a seal stamp, it can be used as a regular receipt if it is applied to a receipt such as a store.

In the above embodiment, five types of character form elements, a, b, c, d, and e, a, b, c, d, and e.
The seven cases of e, f, and g have been described as an example, but the present invention is not limited to these, and the characters are modified by using fewer elements or more character form elements than those in the above example. Good.

[0073]

According to the method for creating a character of an electronic stamp according to the first aspect of the invention, when prototype data of a print character is input and arbitrary code data is input, the input code data is calculated based on an arithmetic expression. The character form and the code data do not correspond directly because the character form data is converted to the specified character form element data and the character prototype data is character-modified based on the character form element data. ,
It is not possible to easily deduce the code data for making a character of the same shape only by looking at the shape of the character, and it is possible to print the character with a unique shape that cannot be imitated by others.

[0074] According to the character creating an electronic stamp of claim 2, wherein an arithmetic expression used in the data conversion step, the calculation result of the code data with each other to be input, further predetermined operation
Since so as to create a character form element data provide Reinforced, are difficult arithmetic expression can be obtained to estimate the original code data from the character form element, it can not be easily imitated by others, unique Characters with morphology can be printed.

According to the electronic stamp character creation method of claim 3, the code data is A, B, C, D, E ... And the character form element data is a, b, c, d, e ... …
Then, one's place of a = {(A + B + C + D + E ...) × A} b = one's place of {(A + B + C + D + E ...) × B} c = one's place of {(A + B + C + D + E ...) × C} d = {(A + B + C + D + E ...) × D} 1's digit e = {(A + B + C + D + E ...) × E} 1's digit ... Since one arithmetic expression is used, one character form element is calculated. At this time, other code data is related, and even if one code data is different, the values of other character form elements greatly change, so that it is difficult to guess the original code data.

According to the method for creating a character of an electronic stamp as claimed in claim 4, a = {(A + B + C + D + E ...) × A + 1} ones position b = {(A + B + C + D + E ...) × B + 3} ones position c = Arithmetic expression to be the ones position of {(A + B + C + D + E ...) × C + 5} d = the ones position of {(A + B + C + D + E ...) × D + 7} e = the ones position of {(A + B + C + D + E ...) × E + 9} Therefore, even if the code data is "0", it is possible to prevent the character form element data from becoming "0", and it is difficult to guess the original code data.

According to the electronic stamp character creation method of claim 5, in addition to the above conditions, when the ones digit of the sum of the character codes of the character prototype is K, a = {(A + B + C + D + E ... Unit of b = {(A + B + C + D + E ... × K) × B + 3} c = Unit of c = {(A + B + C + D + E ... × K) × C + 5} d = {(A + B + C + D + E) ...... × K) × D + 7} 1's position e = {(A + B + C + D + E …… × K) × E + 9} 1's position ... Since the formula was used, character prototype data was added to the formula. As a result, the change of the character form element data calculated from the code data becomes complicated, and the original code data can be more difficult to guess.

According to the electronic stamp character creation method of claim 6, the code data is A, B, C, D, E ... And the character form element data is larger than the number of code data a, b. , C, d, e, f, g ..., a = {(A + B + C + D + E ...) × A} ones position b = {(A + B + C + D + E ...) × B} ones position c = { One's place of (A + B + C + D + E ...) × C} d = {(A + B + C + D + E ...) × D} one's place e = {(A + B + C + D + E ...) × E × A} one's place f = {(A + B + C + D + E ... ...) × A × B} unit digit g = {(A + B + C + D + E ...) × B × C} unit digit, because the calculation formula is used, the number of digits is larger than the number of digits of the input code data. It becomes possible to calculate the character form element, and the code is designed so that the user can easily remember it. Even by reducing the number of digits of the data, it is possible to specify a character made from the desired form using many characters form elements.

According to the electronic stamp apparatus of the seventh aspect, the prototype data of the print character and the arbitrary code data are inputted from the data input means, and the code data is arithmetically processed by the data conversion means to obtain a unique character form. The print character data is converted into designated character form element data, the character prototype data is character-modified based on the character form element data by print character data creating means to create print character data, and the print character data is printed by the printing means.

Therefore, it is not possible to easily deduce the code data for making a character of the same shape only by looking at the shape of the printed character, and it is possible to identify a character having a unique shape that cannot be imitated by others. Can be printed.
