  By the way, there is a problem that convenience is low when a form that needs to ensure originality is printed using a dedicated sheet on which anti-duplication processing has been performed. That is, since printing cannot be performed using plain paper such as general copy paper, for example, at a non-life insurance agency (hereinafter simply referred to as “agent”) or an office agency that handles liability insurance. Even if you take out liability insurance at a convenience store, if you don't store special forms that have been copy-protected at that convenience store, print the original liability insurance certificate on the spot. It is not possible. In particular, in-store terminals (multi-function copiers) equipped with functions to issue various tickets such as air tickets and movie tickets installed at convenience stores in recent years, it is possible to apply for liability insurance through the store terminals. Is possible. However, if you store dedicated paper (dedicated form) that has been processed to prevent duplication at a convenience store, you will be responsible for the cost of creating the exclusive form, logistics cost, storage cost, etc. of the insurance company that provides the liability insurance. Becomes larger. In other words, the delivery, collection, and use management of the exclusive forms for printing the self-responsibility insurance certificate and the like are strictly regulated. Therefore, the insurance company that provides the liability insurance clearly indicates that it will be managed as an important form for the convenience store that is the agency or office agency that handles the printing of the liability insurance certificate, etc. It is necessary to ensure that appropriate management is performed safely and reliably. For example, insurance companies manage the delivery / collection of paper bindings (paper bindings for special forms) by means of a payment book, etc., and issue the required number of books according to the number of contracts handled by agents, etc. To manage. In addition, the insurance company attaches a paper receipt when it is issued to an agency, etc., and when the period of use specified by the insurance company has passed, the paper must be printed including lost paper and unused paper. Be sure to collect it and let the agency use it properly based on strict regulations, such as using the liability insurance certificate in the order of the numbers listed for each booklet. Therefore, taking these cost increases into account, it may be difficult to handle the liability insurance at convenience stores.

  In addition, if you rent a seal that contains automobile liability insurance premiums stamped on the liability insurance certificate to a specific agent, the insurer will use a book that manages the insurance premium seals, etc. It is necessary to clarify the lender of the insurance premium storage stamp. In addition, insurers must attach a deposit when lending insurance premium storage stamps, which may incur management costs and management costs for seals in addition to management costs for dedicated forms. .

  Next, the client terminal 8a receives certificate print data transmitted from the server 4 based on the print request via the communication control unit (print data receiving means) 42 (step S15), and performs data control. The unit 40 prints a self-insurance certificate based on the received print data (step S16). That is, the original certificate of self-insurance insurance that has been subjected to the anti-duplication printing process based on the print data is printed on plain paper accommodated in the store terminal (multifunction copier) that is the client terminal 8a.

  Next, the print result is transmitted to the server 4 (step S17). That is, the printing result including the status (printing result status) indicating whether or not the original liability insurance certificate can be normally printed on the plain paper is sent via the communication control unit (printing result status sending means) 42. Send to server 4.

  Note that the server 4 receives the print result transmitted from the client terminal 8a via the network 6 via the communication control unit (print result status receiving unit) 22, and displays the print result status included in the received print result. The data is stored in a contract data storage unit (storage area functioning as a print result status database) 24 corresponding to the contract data.

  Next, with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. 6 and 7, a process for creating a self-insurance certificate in the server 4 will be described. In the server 4, the print request transmitted from the client terminal 8a is received via the communication control unit (print request receiving means) 22 (step S20, see FIG. 6). The received print request is stored in the data storage unit 30.

  Next, when a print request is received, the data control unit 20 checks the presence of a lock file (LockFile) for simultaneous execution control (exclusive control) (step S21). That is, the anti-duplication printing processing program normally corresponds to one printer (printing device), and the anti-duplication printing processing cannot be performed in parallel. Accordingly, when a plurality of print requests are received, the presence of a lock file, that is, a file for confirming the exclusion status is checked as control for performing processing one by one.

  If the lock file exists (step S22), the process corresponding to the newly received print request waits for a certain period of time (step S23), returns to step S21 after the processing wait time elapses, and returns to the lock file again. Confirm the existence of.

  On the other hand, if the lock file does not exist (step S22), the data control unit 20 stores the settlement information stored in the data storage unit 30 in order to perform processing corresponding to the print request newly received in step S20. Is referred to (step S24). In other words, the payment status of the liability insurance for the liability insurance corresponding to the certificate requested to be printed is confirmed by referring to the settlement information transmitted from the payment management system 10 and stored in the data storage unit 30.

  When it is confirmed by the settlement information referred in step S24 that the insurance premium has been paid (step S25), the data control unit 20 shows the print result stored in the contract data storage unit 24. The status (printing result status) is referred to (step S26). That is, when a storefront terminal (multifunction copier) is used as a client terminal, it is possible to obtain a plurality of original certificates by performing printing a plurality of times. Therefore, in order to prevent the certificate from being printed a plurality of times, the certificate requested for printing is included in the contract data stored in the contract data storage unit 24 as to whether or not printing has already been performed. Confirm by referring to the print result status. When it is confirmed that the printing has been completed based on the referred print result status (step S27), an error message, for example, a message such as “Certificate has been issued” is communicated to the client terminal 8a. It transmits via the part 22 (refer step S34, FIG. 7).

  When the client terminal 8 a receives an error message transmitted from the server 4 via the network 6 via the communication control unit 42, the received error message is displayed on the display unit 46.

  If it is confirmed from the print result status referred to in step S26 that printing has not yet been performed (step S27), the data control unit 20 creates image data of the certificate requested for printing. (Step S28). First, the data control unit 20 extracts the corresponding contract data from the contract data stored in the contract data storage unit 24 using the print number included in the print request. Next, the certificate format data, company seal data, and stored seal data are acquired from the format data storage unit 26. Further, a form overlay program is acquired from the programs stored in the program storage unit 28. Next, the image data of the certificate is created by dynamically superimposing the contract data, the format data, the company seal imprint data and the stored seal stamp data using a form overlay program. The created certificate image data is stored in the data storage unit 30 in association with the print number, for example. When the certificate image data creation by the form overlay program is completed, the status (image data creation result status) indicating whether or not the image data creation has been performed normally is displayed in the data storage unit (image data creation). Storage area 30 functioning as a result status database).

  Next, the data control unit 20 refers to the image data creation result status stored in the data storage unit 30 (step S29). That is, it is confirmed by referring to the image data creation result status whether or not the process of creating the certificate image data in step S28 has been performed normally. If it is confirmed by checking the image data creation result status that the process of creating the certificate image data has not been performed normally (see step S30, FIG. 7), an error message, for example, A message such as “Normal processing has not been performed” is transmitted to the client terminal 8a via the communication control unit (error message transmitting means) 22 (step S34).

  When the client terminal 8 a receives an error message transmitted from the server 4 via the network 6 via the communication control unit 42, the received error message is displayed on the display unit 46.

  When the image data creation result status referred to in step S29 confirms that the process of creating the certificate image data has been performed normally (see step S30, FIG. 7), the data control unit 20 Then, the image data of the created certificate is subjected to copy prevention printing (step S31). That is, the image data of the certificate to be subjected to the anti-duplication printing process is extracted from the data storage unit 30 based on the print number, for example, and the anti-duplication printing process program is extracted from the programs stored in the program storage unit 28. get. Then, the anti-duplication printing process is performed on the certificate image data extracted using the acquired anti-duplication printing process program. Note that the certificate image data that has undergone anti-duplication printing is stored in the data storage unit 30 as print data, for example, in association with the print number. In addition, when anti-duplication printing processing by the anti-duplication printing processing program is completed, a status (duplication prevention printing processing result status) indicating whether or not anti-duplication printing processing has been normally performed is a data storage unit (duplication prevention printing). (Storage area functioning as a machining result status database) 30.

  Next, the data control unit 20 refers to the copy prevention print processing result status stored in the data storage unit 30 (step S32). That is, it is confirmed by referring to the copy prevention print processing result status whether or not the copy prevention print processing to the image data of the certificate in step S31 has been normally performed. If it is confirmed that the process of applying the anti-duplication printing process to the image data of the certificate is not performed normally by checking the anti-duplication printing process result status (step S33), an error message, for example, A message such as “Normal processing has not been performed” is transmitted to the client terminal 8a via the communication control unit 22 (step S34).

  When the client terminal 8 a receives an error message transmitted from the server 4 via the network 6 via the communication control unit 42, the received error message is displayed on the display unit 46.

  When it is confirmed from the copy prevention print processing result status referred to in step S32 that the process for applying copy prevention print processing to the certificate image data has been performed normally (step S33), the data control unit 20 Transmits the printing data to the client terminal 8a (step S35). That is, the print data stored in the data storage unit 30 is extracted based on, for example, the print number, and the print data extracted via the communication control unit 22 is used as the client terminal 8a that is the transmission source of the print request. Send to.

  Next, the print result transmitted from the client terminal 8a is received (step S36), and the data control unit 20 stores the received print result (step S37). That is, based on the print data transmitted to the client terminal 8a in step S35, the print result status indicating whether or not the original copy of the liability insurance certificate that has been subjected to the anti-duplication printing process has been successfully printed on the client terminal 8a. Is received via the communication control unit 22. The received print result is stored in correspondence with the contract data stored in the contract data storage unit 24.
