In recent years, attendance management using IC cards in which information related to visitors is written has been performed at events and the like.
[0003]
In attendance management using an IC card, an IC card in which information related to the visitor is written is handed over to the visitors. For example, when a visitor enters or exits the booth in the venue, By reading the information written in the IC card with the provided information writing / reading machine, it is possible to manage the visitors who enter the booth. In addition, when a visitor enters or exits the booth, if information that can identify the booth is written to the IC card with an information writing reader, the information can be read later by reading the information written on the IC card. You can know which booth you visited.
[0004]
Moreover, if the participation in the event etc. in a booth of a visitor is managed using an IC card, the information regarding the attendee who participated in the event etc. in a booth can be collected without a trouble.
[0005]
Such an IC card is sent in advance to visitors, and the visitors bring this IC card when they visit the venue and participate in events and the like using the IC card.
[0006]
FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of a conventional mail delivery letter used when sending an IC card.
[0007]
In this conventional example, as shown in FIG. 4, the address information described in the destination information 110 is displayed on the cover sheet 130 on which the destination information 110 and the identification information 120 including the barcode that can identify the destination information 110 are printed. The written IC card 140 is configured to be peeled and pasted.
[0008]
The postal matter cover sheet configured as described above is enclosed and sealed in an envelope with a window so that the destination information 110 can be seen from the window, and mailed.
[0009]
In the following, the process from the production of the mail cover letter configured as described above to the use of the IC card will be described.
[0010]
FIG. 5 is a flowchart for explaining a method of manufacturing the mail cover sheet shown in FIG.
[0011]
First, the IC card 140 on which no information is written is pasted in a predetermined area of the cover sheet 130 (step S101).
[0012]
Next, the destination information 110 and identification information 120 that can identify the destination information 110 are printed in a predetermined area of the cover sheet 130, and information such as the address described in the destination information 110 is also printed on the IC card 140. (Step S102).
[0013]
Next, information about the address described in the destination information 110 is written into the IC card 140 (step S103). Here, writing of information to the IC card 140 is performed by first reading the identification information 120, reading information corresponding to the read identification information 120 from a database (not shown), and writing the read information to the IC card 140. . For this reason, it is necessary to register information related to the address described in the destination information 110 in advance in the database in association with the identification information 120. The information registered in the database includes, for example, the name and address of the visitor described in the destination information 110, the age, gender or occupation of the visitor, and the attendee applies for participation in the event. At this time, it is assumed that the identification information is associated with 120 and registered in the database.
[0014]
Thereafter, the cover sheet 130 to which the IC card 140 on which information is written is attached is sealed and sealed in an envelope with a window so that the destination information 110 can be seen from the window, and then sent (step S104).
[0015]
A visitor who receives the cover sheet 130 with the IC card 140 attached peels the IC card 140 from the cover sheet 130 (step S105), brings the IC card 140 to the event hall, and loads the IC card 140. To participate in the event (step S106).
[0016]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, the conventional mail cover and its manufacturing method as described above have the following problems.
[0017]
(1) Since the destination information is printed or the information is printed on the IC card after the IC card is attached to the cover sheet, the cover sheet is conveyed through the printer with the IC card attached. Therefore, the IC card may be damaged in the printer.
[0018]
(2) When the cover sheet is a continuous paper sheet, the cover sheet is transported through the printer in a curved state, and the conductors in the IC card may be peeled off, resulting in disconnection.
[0019]
(3) When writing information to the IC card, if the IC card is damaged, it is necessary to start again from the information printing process on the IC card.
[0020]
(4) Since information is directly printed on the IC card, it is not possible to apply a printing method in which an impact is applied to the IC card, such as an impact method.
[0021]
(5) When the IC card is thick, it is difficult to carry the inside of the printer, and the printer to be used is restricted. Further, even in the laser system or the ink jet system, the focus of printing on the IC card is deviated from the printing on the cover sheet, and the information printed on the IC card is blurred.
[0022]
The present invention has been made in view of the problems of the prior art as described above, and can prevent damage to the IC card during information printing, and can be used regardless of the printing method. It is an object of the present invention to provide a mail-invoice and a method for manufacturing the same.
[0023]

Therefore, this recording medium can be used in the same manner as a conventional IC card on which the user's name is printed.
[0030]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
[0031]
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an embodiment of a mail cover sheet according to the present invention.
[0032]
In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, destination information 10 that is information about a destination, name of the visitor, etc., address information 50 that is first information that can visually identify the visitor, It consists of code information, etc., and identification information 20 that is second information that can identify the visitor is printed, and the area where the address information 50 is written can be separated by a sewing line that is a separation line The IC card 40, which is a recording medium with a built-in non-contact IC in which information related to the address described in the address information 50 is written, is pasted on the cover sheet 30 from the back side in the area where the address information 50 is described. Has been configured.
[0033]
The mail cover letter configured as described above is used to send an IC card 40 for managing attendees at an event or the like to a visitor at an event or the like, and is attached to an envelope with a window. The destination information 10 is sealed and sealed so that it can be seen from the window, and mailed to the visitors.
[0034]
In the following, the process from when the mail cover letter configured as described above is manufactured to when the IC card 40 is sent and used will be described.
[0035]
FIG. 2 is a flowchart for explaining a method of manufacturing the mail cover sheet shown in FIG.
[0036]
First, in a predetermined area of the cover sheet 30, the destination information 10 that is information about the destination, address information 50 that can visually identify the visitor, and identification information 20 that can identify the visitor are printed (step). S1). Here, the cover sheet 30 is provided with an area that can be separated by a sewing line or the like, and the address information 50 is printed in the separable area. In this embodiment, barcode information is used as the identification information 20 printed on the cover sheet 30. However, the barcode information is not limited to the barcode information as long as the identification number and the identification character can be identified. .
[0037]
Next, the IC card 40 on which no information is written is pasted to the area where the address information 50 of the cover sheet 30 is written (step S2).
[0038]
FIG. 3 is a diagram for explaining a method of attaching the IC card 40 to the cover sheet 30 in the mail cover sheet shown in FIG.
[0039]
As shown in FIG. 3, the IC card 40 is pasted from the back so that it overlaps the area where the address information 50 of the cover sheet 30 is written. In this embodiment, since the area where the address information 50 is described is smaller than the size of the IC card 40, the IC card 40 is pasted so that the area where the address information 50 is described is covered with the IC card 40. In the relationship between the area where the address information 50 is written and the size of the IC card 40, if the size is the same, the accuracy of the pasting position of the IC card 40 on the cover sheet 30 must be increased. It is preferable to have a difference between the two sizes.
[0040]
Next, information related to the address described in the address information 50 is written in the IC card 40 (step S3). Here, writing of information to the IC card 40 is performed by first reading the identification information 20, reading information corresponding to the read identification information 20 from a database (not shown), and writing the read information to the IC card 40. . Therefore, it is necessary to previously register information related to the address described in the address information 50 in the database in association with the identification information 20. The information registered in the database includes, for example, the name and address of the visitor described in the destination information 10, the age, gender or occupation of the visitor, and the visitor applies for participation in the event. In this case, it is assumed that the identification information 20 is registered in the database.
[0041]
Thereafter, the cover sheet 30 with the IC card 40 on which the information is written is enclosed and sealed in an envelope with a window so that the destination information 10 can be seen from the window, and sent to the visitors (step S4).
[0042]
A visitor who has received the cover sheet 30 with the IC card 40 attached cuts off the area in which the address information 50 is written from the cover sheet 30 along the sewing machine line (step S5), along with the IC card 40 attached to the back side. Bring it to the event venue and join the event using the IC card 40 affixed to the area where the address information 50 is written (step S6). In the area separated along the sewing machine line, the address information 50 is printed and the IC card 40 is affixed, so that it has the same function as the conventional IC card.
[0043]
As described above, in this embodiment, since the IC card 40 is affixed to the cover sheet 30 after predetermined information is printed on the cover sheet 30, the IC card 40 is not transported through the printer. There is no risk of breakage due to the conveyance inside.
[0044]
In addition, since the information is printed only on the cover sheet 30, there is no restriction on the printing method, information can be printed on the cover sheet 30 using the impact method, and the IC card 40 itself can be printed. Even when there is a thickness, information can be printed on the cover sheet 30 using a laser method or an ink jet method.
[0045]
Further, since no information is printed on the IC card 40 itself, if the IC card 40 is damaged when information is written to the IC card 40, the IC card 40 attached to the cover sheet 30 is replaced. Just do it.
[0046]
The IC card 40 is affixed to the area where the address information 50 is written from the back side, and then the area where the address information 50 is written is separated from the cover sheet 30 and used as the IC card 40. Therefore, although the information is not printed on the IC card 40 itself, when the visitor brings the IC card 40 and uses it, the address information 50 is attached to the IC card 40. In addition, the IC card 40 can be identified visually.
[0047]
As shown in FIG. 1, in this embodiment, the address information 50 is described, and the area that can be separated from the cover sheet 30 by a sewing line or the like is smaller than the size of the IC card 40 attached to the back surface. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, when the IC card 40 is a small seal with a built-in IC, the area in which the address information 50 is described is greater than the IC card 40. Can be increased. However, in that case, it is necessary that the cover sheet 30 itself has a thickness that does not damage the IC to be attached.
[0048]
In this embodiment, a non-contact IC card with a built-in non-contact IC is used as the IC card 40. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and any information can be written and read. Can be applied.
[0049]
Further, as the identification information 20 shown in FIG. 1, if a two-dimensional barcode including information such as the name and address of the visitor described in the destination information 10 and the age, sex or occupation of the visitor is used, When writing such information to the IC card 40, the information to be written to the IC card 40 can be obtained simply by reading the two-dimensional bar code. Therefore, the information to be written to the IC card 40 needs to be registered in the database in advance. Disappears.
[0050]
In addition, if there is a rewritable area in the area where the address information 50 is described, and information is printed or erased at each booth in the event venue, Participation status can be confirmed visually. For example, when a service that adds points each time a booth is entered, if the number of points is printed in a rewritable area, the visitor can visually recognize the current number of points. .
[0051]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, in the present invention, after printing information related to the destination in a predetermined area of the cover page, and after printing the first information that can identify the user in the separable area of the cover page, Since the recording medium is attached to the detachable area on which the first information for identifying the user is printed, the information is not printed on the cover sheet with the recording medium attached. It is possible to prevent the recording medium from being damaged when the information is printed on the cover sheet.
[0052]
Also, since no information is printed on the recording medium itself, if the recording medium is damaged when writing information on the recording medium, it is only necessary to replace the recording medium attached to the cover sheet.
[0053]
Further, since the information is printed only on the cover page, various printing methods can be applied.
