Description

  The present invention relates to a passbook printing system and a passbook.

  Conventionally, in financial institutions such as banks, credit unions, post offices, and consumer finance companies, when a customer applies for a new transaction with a financial institution, an account is opened and a passbook is issued. Each time a customer makes a financial transaction such as deposit, withdrawal, transfer, transfer, etc., the customer records the transaction history as a transaction statement in the passbook and confirms the contents. In this case, the passbook is printed with information such as the name of the issuing financial institution that issued the passbook, the name of the issuing branch, and the name of the customer.

  Furthermore, a technique for giving a photograph such as a photograph of a customer's face to the front cover or back cover of the passbook along with the magnetic stripe storing the information and the original design of each financial institution has been proposed (for example, (See Patent Document 1). In this case, a customer scans a photograph that he / she wants to print on a passbook or captures it with a CCD (Charge Coupled Device) camera, and edits the acquired photograph with an image processing apparatus to obtain a background pattern. Create composite image data. The image data is printed on the front cover or back cover of the passbook.

In recent years, there is also a service in which an account is opened for a child or grandchild and a photograph of the child or grandchild is printed on the passbook of the account.

FIG. 13 is a second flowchart showing a photographic print processing subroutine in the first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 14 is a third flowchart showing a subroutine of photo print processing in the first embodiment of the present invention.

  First, the teller confirms whether or not the carry-over processing is necessary for the photo passbook P brought to the sales office of the financial institution. If no carry-over processing is necessary, the teller who has the photo passbook P verbally confirms whether or not he / she wants to print an image on the photo passbook P. Here, if the customer selects that it is not necessary, or if he / she does not have the photograph S or the information recording medium 50, it is notified that it is possible at a later date, and the photograph printing process is terminated.

  Subsequently, the teller confirms whether or not there is a blank sheet for photo printing on the middle sheet of the photo passbook P. Then, when there is a blank sheet in the middle sheet, when the customer presents the photograph S and desires printing on the middle sheet, first, the image scanner 30 performs an operation of taking the image of the photograph S into the operation terminal 20. The operation of taking the image of the photograph S is performed according to an instruction from the operation terminal 20, but may be performed from the image scanner 30 side.

  Subsequently, when the capturing of the image by the control unit 23 is completed, the captured image is displayed in color on the display unit 22. Then, an inquiry is made as to whether or not the displayed image is desired to be edited. That is, the customer asks the customer whether to enlarge or partially cut out the image, further correct the color scheme (hue, color, etc.), or rewrite the caricature, and the teller operates to obtain the desired image. Make corrections to the captured image. The image correction function is well known in general-purpose color printers, and thus the description thereof is omitted.

  Subsequently, the customer information stored in the storage unit is read, and the printing date and time of each entry in the passbook information file is checked. When the print date is (NULL), it indicates that the corresponding middle page is a blank page. As a result, the display unit 22 displays that a blank page is opened and the photo passbook P is set in the adapter 10. Then, the teller takes out the adapter 10, inserts the photo passbook P into the recess 12a in accordance with the instruction of the display unit 22, attaches the adapter 10 with the photo passbook P inserted into the recess 12a to the printer 40, and A print command for information, that is, image information is transmitted to 40.

  Subsequently, when receiving a print command, the printer 40 stores an image as print information in the storage unit and starts sucking and conveying the adapter 10. Then, the printer 40 starts outputting the print information stored in the storage unit. The printer 40 performs color printing by controlling the color ink nozzles of the print head according to a predetermined color level.

  Next, the printer 40 automatically ejects the adapter 10 when printing on the photo passbook P is completed. The teller takes out the discharged adapter 10 from the printer 40, pulls out the photo passbook P, and visually checks the quality of printing. Then, the control unit 23 adds the identification information to the image as print information and stores it in the storage unit.

  If there is no blank slip in the photo passbook P brought in by the customer, the print date and print information file name of each entry excluding the front cover of the passbook information file to be stored in the storage unit and the turnover of the cover (NULL) At the same time, the print information in the print information file on the middle sheet is deleted from the storage unit. Since no photo can be printed on the photo passbook P in which the blank paper has been removed, a new photo passbook P is issued.

  Next, an operation when a carry-over process is necessary, that is, when there is a bankbook carry-over will be described.

  First, since the passbook is carried forward, a new photo passbook P is issued, and the teller confirms whether or not there is a blank sheet for photo printing on the middle sheet of the old photo passbook P. If there is a blank sheet in the middle sheet, when the teller operates the operation unit 21 and inputs an account number, the control unit 23 reads the passbook information file stored in the storage unit and confirms the printing date and time of each entry. . Here, when the printing date and time is not (NULL), the printing information of the corresponding page is stored in the storage unit, so the control unit 23 reads out the corresponding printing information from the storage unit.

  Subsequently, when the control unit 23 finishes reading the print information from the storage unit, the read image is displayed in color on the display unit 22, and the control unit 23 opens the page of the middle paper to be printed on the display unit 22. Display to the effect. Then, the teller takes out the adapter 10, inserts the photo passbook P into the recess 12a in accordance with the instruction of the display unit 22, attaches the adapter 10 with the photo passbook P inserted into the recess 12a to the printer 40, and A print command for information, that is, image information is transmitted to 40.

  Subsequently, when receiving the print command, the printer 40 stores the print information in the storage unit and starts the suction conveyance of the adapter 10. Then, the printer 40 starts outputting the print information stored in the storage unit. The printer 40 performs color printing by controlling the color ink nozzles of the print head according to a predetermined color level.

  Next, the printer 40 automatically ejects the adapter 10 when printing on the photo passbook P is completed. The teller takes out the discharged adapter 10 from the printer 40, pulls out the photo passbook P, and visually checks the quality of printing. Then, the above operation is repeated until the printing date and time of the passbook information file reaches (NULL), and the photos printed in the old photo passbook P are printed in the same way on the new photo passbook P, and the new photo passbook P is the old photo. When the same state as the passbook P is reached, the photograph S brought in by the customer is printed on the middle sheet of the photo passbook P.
