Description

  The present invention relates to an ID card creation device and an ID card creation system that can employ a face image desired by an applicant.

  For example, a face image is printed on an ID card used for identification such as an identification card together with characters such as a name and address, a membership number, and a number that can identify an individual. When creating such an ID card, the applicant fills in and submits necessary items in advance, and takes an image of the applicant's face with a camera.

  Usually, the face image of the applicant is captured by the camera at the application location, but depending on the applicant, the face image desired by the applicant is obtained in advance and brought in, and the brought-in face image is printed on the ID card. You may wish to do that.

  Currently, an applicant brings in a face image by, for example, attaching a photograph of the face image printed on an application form and reading the photograph with a scanner. In addition, an applicant brings in a portable storage medium in which face image data is stored, and the face image data is captured from the portable storage medium.

  However, when a photograph is read by a scanner, the image quality of the face image printed on the ID card deteriorates and the quality required by the applicant may not be satisfied. When face image data is brought in using a portable storage medium, degradation of image quality can be prevented, but the brought face image data may be inappropriate for printing on an ID card. For this reason, it is necessary for an attendant or the like to display the face image data brought in on the display for confirmation, which is troublesome.

  The applicant P who makes an application for ID card creation takes a face image with the ID photo taking apparatus 1 in advance. At this time, the applicant P selects an ID card as a use and selects transfer to the portable terminal 2 as an output format. A plurality of background image candidates suitable for the ID card are displayed on the touch panel 14 of the ID photograph apparatus 1, and the applicant P selects a favorite one. The ID photograph photographing apparatus 1 photographs the face of the applicant P, combines it with the selected background image, and transfers the ID card dedicated face image data to the portable terminal 2. The applicant P brings the portable terminal 2 to which the ID card dedicated face image data has been transferred to the ID card issuing office.

  The ID card issuing device is provided with an ID card creating apparatus 3 shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 6, the ID card creation device 3 includes a control device 30, a host server 31 that stores information and face image data of owners of ID cards issued in the past, and a face image of the applicant P. An imaging unit 32 for imaging, a data input unit 33 for inputting facial image data brought in from the applicant P, a character information reading unit 34 for reading characters in the application submitted by the applicant P, and a display unit 35 and a printer 36.

  The imaging unit 32 is, for example, a digital camera.

  The data input unit 33 has a wireless communication function and can receive carry-in face image data from the mobile terminal 2. The data input unit 33 can read the brought-in face image data stored in a storage medium such as a USB memory.

  The application form submitted by the applicant P includes characters such as name and address. The character information reading unit 34 has an OCR (optical character recognition) function and reads characters in the application form. The read character information is printed on the printing unit 43 of the ID card 4 shown in FIG.

  The control device 30 includes, for example, a computer and includes an image acquisition unit 302, a first determination unit 304, a second determination unit 306, and an image processing unit 308. The image acquisition unit 302 acquires the brought-in face image data brought in by the applicant P via the data input unit 33. Further, when the applicant P has created an ID card in the past, the image acquisition unit 302 obtains face image data (past face image data) from the host server 31 when the applicant P created the previous ID card. get.

  The first determination unit 304 and the second determination unit 306 determine whether the brought-in face image data brought in from the applicant P is appropriate for printing on the ID card.

  The first determination unit 304 determines whether the brought-in face image data is ID card-specific face image data created by the ID photo shooting apparatus 1. The first determination unit 304 detects whether or not identification information indicating that photographing has been performed using the ID card in the ID photograph photographing apparatus 1 described above is added to the brought-in face image data. Is added, it is determined that the brought-in face image data is ID card dedicated face image data.

  Further, when the brought-in face image data is ID card dedicated face image data, the first determination unit 304 detects the creation date (shooting date) of the ID card dedicated face image data, and the data creation date falls within a predetermined period. It may be determined whether or not. For example, when the ID card to be created is a driver's license, it is determined whether the data creation date is within 6 months from the application date.

  When identification information is not added, the brought-in face image data is not ID card dedicated face image data. Therefore, the second determination unit 304 determines whether or not the brought-in face image data satisfies a condition for being usable for printing on the ID card. For example, the second determination unit 304 determines whether the resolution of the brought-in face image data is a predetermined value or more, whether the image size is a predetermined size or more, whether the background color is a predetermined color, the position and size of the face. Are within a predetermined range, whether the eyes are open, the face is not hidden, whether the expression is appropriate, or whether the creation date (shooting date) is within a predetermined period.

  When these conditions are not satisfied, the second determination unit 304 determines that the brought-in face image data cannot be used. In this case, the applicant P is imaged by the imaging unit 32 to directly generate face image data. The image acquisition unit 302 acquires the direct face image data generated by the imaging unit 32.

  The display unit 35 is a liquid crystal display, for example, and can display brought-in face image data. It is also possible to display the brought-in face image data on the display unit 35 so that it can be visually confirmed whether or not the person in charge at the ID card issuing office is the same person as the applicant P.

  When the brought-in face image data is ID card dedicated face image data, the image processing unit 308 performs a decoding process to decode the face image data. The image processing unit 308 reduces (resizes) the brought-in face image data or the direct face image data to a size corresponding to printing on the ID card, and generates face image data for printing. The image processing unit 308 may perform correction such as trimming as necessary.

  Further, the image acquisition unit 302 may compare the brought-in face image data or the direct face image data with the past face image data extracted from the host server 31 and perform identity verification.

  The print image data and the character information read by the character information reading unit 34 are transmitted to the printer 36. The printer 36 prints character information and print image data on the card base 41 to create the ID card 4.

  FIG. 7 is a flowchart for explaining an ID card creation method when face image data is brought in by the applicant P.

  In creating the ID card, the applicant P submits an application form that describes the address, name, etc. (step S101). The description content of the submitted application form is read by the character information reading unit 34 (step S102).

  The face image data brought in by the applicant P is input via the data input unit 33 (step S103). For example, the face image data is transferred from the mobile terminal 2 owned by the applicant P, or the face image data is read from a storage medium such as a USB memory.

  The first determination unit 304 detects whether or not identification information indicating that the ID photo was taken using the ID card in the ID photo shooting device 1 is added to the brought-in face image data (step S104).

  When the identification information is added, it is determined that the brought-in face image data is ID card dedicated face image data (step S104_Yes), and the image processing unit 308 performs a decoding process on the ID card dedicated face image data. The face image data is decoded (step S105).

  If the identification information is not added, it is determined that the brought-in face image data is not ID card-only face image data (step S104_No), and the second determining unit 304 uses the brought-in face image data for printing on the ID card. It is determined whether or not a condition for enabling is satisfied (step S106). For example, it is determined whether or not the image size, background color, face position and size, facial expression, etc. of the brought-in face image data satisfy predetermined conditions.

  When the condition is satisfied, it is determined that the brought-in face image data can be used (step S106_Yes). If the condition is not satisfied, it is determined that the brought-in face image data cannot be used for the ID card (step S106_No), the image pickup unit 32 images the applicant P, and directly generates the face image data (step S107). .

  The image processing unit 308 performs image processing such as resizing and trimming on the brought-in face image data dedicated to the ID card, brought-in face image data satisfying various conditions, or direct face image data as necessary, Print face image data is generated (step S108).

  The print image data and the character information read by the character information reading unit 34 in step S102 are transferred to the printer 36. The printer 36 creates the ID card 4 by printing the printing unit 43 and the face image 44 on the card base 41 using the image data for printing and the character information (step S109). Further, the image data for printing and the character information are stored in the IC chip 42 by a data storage unit (not shown).

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the ID card dedicated face image data photographed for the ID card by the ID photo photographing apparatus 1 is attached with the identification information indicating that fact. When this identification information is attached to the brought-in face image data brought in from the applicant P, the ID card creating device 3 checks the resolution or background color of the face image data without checking the resolution or background color. It can be quickly determined that it can be used for printing.

  Since the ID card dedicated face image data is encrypted and stored in the portable terminal 2 or the like, processing / modification by the applicant P can be prevented.

  The ID card creation device 3 only needs to check the resolution, background color, etc. of the face image data for the brought-in face image data to which no identification information is attached, and determine whether or not it can be used. Therefore, it is possible to easily determine whether the brought-in face image data brought in by the applicant P is appropriate.

  In the above-described embodiment, the ID photograph photographing apparatus 1 outputs the ID card-specific face image data with the identification information to the portable terminal 2 or the like owned by the applicant P. However, as shown in FIG. The face image data dedicated to the ID card may be transmitted to the server device 5 and stored.

  In this case, the ID photo photographing apparatus 1 accepts input of personal identification information for identifying the applicant P, and associates the ID card dedicated face image data with the personal identification information and transmits it to the server apparatus 5. A variety of personal identification information can be used, for example, a registration number in an ID card issuing organization, a telephone number of the applicant P, or a dedicated application installed in the mobile terminal 2 An application ID may be used.

  When the ID card creation device 3 receives the input of the personal identification information from the applicant P, the ID card creation device 3 takes out the face image data dedicated to the ID card associated with the personal identification information from the server device 5. The personal identification information may be input by reading characters of the application form by the character information reading unit 34 or by holding the portable terminal 2 and receiving an application ID or the like.

  Since it is clear that the face image data taken out from the server device 5 is ID card-specific face image data created by the ID photo photographing device 1, the identification information as described above need not be added. Further, since processing and alteration of the face image data can be prevented by storing in the server device 5, the ID card dedicated face image data encryption process may be omitted.

  When the ID card making device 3 is used as a driver license (hereinafter referred to as “license”) update issuance device, the host server 31 is described in the past face image data of the license owner and the license. Personal information is stored in association with a license number. The personal information described in the license includes, for example, an address, name, and license type information. When the owner of the license moves or changes the name, the personal information in the host server 31 is changed.

  When the owner makes an application for changing personal information at the time of renewing the license, the reception operator confirms the change contents of the application form, operates the reception terminal, and updates the personal information in the host server 31. The control device 30 retrieves personal information associated with the license number of the license renewal applicant from the host server 31, print image data (carrying face image data or direct face image data), and the host server 31. The personal information extracted from the printer is transmitted to the printer 36, and a new license is created.

  With the issuance of a new license, the brought-in face image data or the direct face image data printed on the license is stored in the host server 31 in association with the license number, and the past face image of the license owner Data is updated.
