Description

  The present invention relates to an electronic seal stamp apparatus that issues a sticker with an IC tag that incorporates information for specifying a stamper and a stamping time.

As a means for assuring the authenticity of a paper document, a seal obtained by stamping a seal is usually used. In particular, an important document must be stamped with a real seal. Confirmation of the authenticity of the seal is performed by visual comparison with the seal described on the seal certificate. Therefore, there is a risk of false authentication in the case of a fake seal created very elaborately.
On the other hand, even a document that is not important is generally proved by a seal. However, it is possible to create a document as if it was legitimately created by using a seal that can be obtained relatively easily, such as a so-called three-sentence.
Therefore, a stamp target acquisition unit that captures digital image image data of a stamp target document, a stamp target signature unit that generates digital signature data by calculating and encrypting a hash value of the digital image image data, and the digital target There has been proposed an electronic seal stamp system comprising a seal information generating means for converting signature data into visualized data and a seal print means for printing the visualized data as an electronic seal (see Patent Document 1).

According to the electronic seal stamp system, it is possible to electronically certify paper documents and improve the accuracy of authentication, such as checking for the presence or absence of tampering. However, there is a means for acquiring an image of the document to be stamped. It is technically difficult to make a portable electronic seal stamp that incorporates the system.
Further, there is a problem that even if the paper document itself has not been tampered with, it is not possible to prevent a person other than the specific issuer from improperly marking it.
The present invention solves the above-mentioned problem as an example.

An electronic seal stamp apparatus according to the present invention is an electronic seal stamp apparatus that issues a seal with an IC chip to which a readable / writable IC chip is attached as a seal, and supports the seal with the IC chip folded in a folded shape while supporting the seal. Seal holding means for holding the body;
Printing means for printing the name of the issuer of the seal or information about the name on the printing surface of the seal with the IC chip;
Stamp information acquisition means for acquiring stamp information written in the IC chip;
Marking information writing means for writing the marking information to the IC chip;
A sticking means for feeding the support and sticking the seal with the IC chip to the object to be sealed;
A hologram is attached to the printing surface of the seal with the IC chip,
The hologram is an electronic seal stamp apparatus having a brittle fracture part that brittlely breaks when the issued seal is peeled off from a stamped object ,
The stamp information acquisition unit specifies a fingerprint authentication unit that acquires the fingerprint information of the issuer, a time specification unit that specifies an acquisition time of the fingerprint information and uses the acquisition time as time information, and specifies an acquisition position of the fingerprint information And position specifying means that uses the acquired position as position information, and the time information and the position information are used as the seal information.

  According to the electronic seal stamp apparatus of the present invention, since it is possible to issue a seal after authenticating the person, it is possible to prevent improper issuing of a seal. Accordingly, since the seal can be issued only by a specific issuer, it is possible to improve the reliability that the paper document is a regular document.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the electronic seal stamp apparatus of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
As shown in FIG. 1, the electronic seal stamp apparatus 1 includes a start switch 2 and a fingerprint sensor 3 that turn ON / OFF the operation of the apparatus.
When the electronic seal stamp apparatus 1 is operated by the activation switch 2, the fingerprint sensor 3 reads the operator's fingerprint and acquires fingerprint information.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the fingerprint sensor 3 is connected to a control unit 4 that controls the electronic seal stamp apparatus 1. The control unit 4 is connected to a storage unit 5 that stores the fingerprint information of the operator of the electronic seal stamp device 1 registered in advance, and is stored in the storage unit 5 with the fingerprint information acquired by the fingerprint sensor 3. Check fingerprint information. The fingerprint sensor 3, the control unit 4, and the storage unit 5 constitute a fingerprint authentication unit.

The control unit 4 is connected to a time measuring unit 6 that specifies the time when fingerprint information is acquired by the fingerprint sensor 3. The timer 6 receives a fingerprint acquisition signal issued from the controller 4 when the fingerprint sensor 3 acquires fingerprint information, and uses the reception time as time information. The control unit 4 and the time measuring unit 6 constitute time specifying means.
Further, the control unit 4 is connected to a position detection unit 7 that specifies the position where the fingerprint information is acquired by the fingerprint sensor 3. The position detection unit 7 receives a fingerprint acquisition signal issued from the control unit 4 when the fingerprint sensor 3 acquires fingerprint information, and uses the position of the electronic seal stamp device 1 when the signal is received as position information. . The position detector 7 may be a so-called GPS system receiver or the like. The control unit 4 and the position detection unit 7 constitute position specifying means.
The fingerprint authentication unit, the time specifying unit, and the position specifying unit constitute a seal information acquiring unit.
The control unit 4 collates the fingerprint information acquired by the fingerprint sensor 3 with the fingerprint information stored in the storage unit 5 and transmits the time information and position information to the IC chip writer 8 as the stamp information when they match. To do.

The IC chip writer 8 can write seal information on an IC chip (not shown) attached to a seal 9 with an IC chip held in the seal device 1 and constitutes a seal information writing means. ing. The IC chip-attached seal 9 is supported by a support 10. The support body 10 is folded in a zigzag shape and holds an unused IC chip-attached seal 9. The support body folded in a zigzag shape is held by a seal holding means (not shown).
The support body 10 folded in a zigzag manner is first sent toward the vicinity of the IC chip writer 8. In the vicinity of the IC chip writer 8, a reversing roller 11 for reversing the feeding direction of the support 10 is provided. The IC chip-attached seal 9 approaching the IC chip writer 8 is peeled off from the support 10 when the support 10 is reversed by the reverse roller 11 after the marking information is written on the IC chip (not shown). The peeled seal 9 with IC chip is attached to the object to be stamped. The sticking of the IC chip-attached seal 9 is performed by moving the electronic seal stamp device 1 in substantially the same direction as the feeding direction of the support 10 in contact with the reverse roller 10. The support 10 from which the seal has been peeled is taken up by a take-up roll 12. The reverse roller 11 and the take-up roll 12 constitute a pasting unit.
The IC chip-attached seal 9 that has been peeled off from the support 10 and on which stamping information has been written comes into contact with a printing roller (printing means) 13 on which the name or name information of the issuer of the seal is engraved, and the name of the issuer. Or the name is printed.

For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the sticker 9 with an IC chip is printed with the issuer's last name in the center. The IC chip 14 of the seal 9 with the IC chip can read the marking information written in the IC chip 14 by an IC chip reader (not shown).
If the fingerprint information acquired by the fingerprint sensor 3 and the fingerprint information stored in the storage unit 5 do not match, the electronic seal stamp apparatus 1 determines that the operation is performed by a person other than the person registered in advance, Canceling the issuance of stickers with IC chips.
As a modification, a hologram (not shown) may be attached to the print surface of the IC chip-attached seal. Such a hologram has a brittle fracture portion that undergoes brittle fracture when the issued seal is peeled off from the object to be stamped. According to this configuration, it is possible to prevent forgery of a paper document by peeling off the issued sticker with an IC chip and replacing it with another paper document.
