Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

[Mark receiving system]
The stamp receiving system 1 shown in FIG. 1 is a system for receiving a seal imprint from a stamp used by a user, and for example, when a recipient in a home delivery system or a distribution system approves receipt of an article, or a document by a decision maker in business. It is used when approving the contents of.

The seal receiving system 1 includes a seal 10 used by a user such as a recipient and a decision maker, and a terminal device 20 for receiving an input of approval by the user. It is configured to receive a seal impression from the seal 10. As will be apparent from the description below, the seal receiving system 1 obtains a seal impression from the seal face portion 12 in the terminal device 20 by bringing the seal face portion 12 provided in the seal 10 into contact with the surface portion 22 provided in the terminal device 20.

For example, when the stamp receiving system 1 is applied to a home delivery system, the recipient brings the stamp surface portion 12 of the stamp 10 that he/she owns into contact with the surface portion 22 of the terminal device 20 brought by the delivery person. Then, since the terminal device 20 obtains the seal imprint from the seal face portion 12 of the seal 10, the delivery person receives the input indicating that the recipient has accepted the receipt of the article as the seal imprint.

The recipient does not need to touch the terminal device 20 or the like brought by the delivery person when using the stamp 10 he or she owns. That is, the recipient only has to use the seal 10 as if he/she stamps it, as in the case of stamping a paper slip. Therefore, the mark receiving system 1 can easily and hygienically receive the approval input by the user.

<Stamp>
The stamp receiving system 1 includes a stamp 10 having a main body 11 and a stamp face portion 12 provided at one end of the main body 11. As shown in FIG. 1, the stamp 10 is configured so that a user can grasp and use the main body 11, and a stamp face 12 formed two-dimensionally along the lower end surface of the main body 11, It has a label portion 13 provided on the upper end surface of the main body portion 11 and expressing a predetermined imprint obtained from the stamp face portion 12. Although the seal 10 has the label portion 13 so that the seal imprint can be confirmed in advance, the seal 10 may not have the label portion 13.

The main body 11 is a substantially columnar body serving as the base of the seal 10, and is formed of a conductive material such as metal, conductive silicone rubber, conductive rubber, conductive resin, conductive fiber, or the like. The shape of the main body 11 is not particularly limited. In addition, the conductive material is not particularly limited, and for example, a combination of two or more of the above conductive materials may be used. Further, the main body portion 11 may be configured so that conductivity is obtained between the portion gripped by the user and the stamp surface portion 12, and the entire body portion 11 may be formed of a conductive material. Only a part including the gripping part and the stamp face 12 may be formed of the conductive material.

(Print face)
The stamp face portion 12 is formed of a conductive material so as to represent a mirror image of a predetermined stamp impression. As the conductive material, for example, a conductive material such as metal, conductive silicone rubber, conductive rubber, conductive resin, conductive fiber may be used, but is not particularly limited. The stamp face portion 12 may be integrally formed with the main body portion 11 by using the same conductive material as that of the main body portion 11.

The stamp surface portion 12 is formed two-dimensionally so that the surface portion 22 of the terminal device 20 can simultaneously come into contact with the portion representing the mirror image of the seal image. Specifically, the stamp face portion 12 includes one or a plurality of convex portions having a shape showing a mirror image of the seal imprint in a bottom view, and the top portions of the convex portions are flush with each other as a whole.

The imprint may be a character or symbol that can be visually recognized by humans to have some meaning. For example, the imprint may be a character such as a name or nickname, a number such as a date, a figure or a symbol such as a pictogram, and a combination of these may be used.

The seal receiving system 1 does not necessarily need a means for authenticating whether or not the seal 10 is authentic. When the seal receiving system 1 does not include the authentication means of the seal 10, the seal 10 may be designed as a simple approval seal such as a seal, and for example, a seal imprint representing the surname of a person's name may be adopted.

<Terminal device>
The terminal device 20 is a touch panel-integrated type mobile terminal including a capacitive touch panel capable of detecting multiple points, and as shown in FIG. And a surface portion 22 that In addition, as shown in FIG. 2, the terminal device 20 stores an image in the main body 21 via the control unit 210 that executes various calculations, the storage unit 220 that stores various programs and data, and the surface unit 22. The display unit 230 is capable of displaying, a touch detection unit 240 of a capacitance type capable of detecting a touch operation on the front surface unit 22, and a communication unit 250 for transmitting/receiving data to/from another device.

The storage unit 220 is a non-volatile storage device such as a flash memory, and stores the trace of the touch operation detected by the touch detection unit 240 as trace data. For example, when a handwritten signature is input as in the conventional case, the trace data relating to the trace of the handwritten signature is stored as the trace of the touch operation, and when the input is made by the seal 10, the seal image is recorded as the trace of the touch operation. The trace data relating to

The display unit 230 is a display device such as a liquid crystal display or an organic EL display that realizes a display function of a touch panel, and is arranged so as to overlap the front surface unit 22. The display unit 230 displays, for example, a screen prompting the user to input a signature or a trace image related to the trace of the touch operation via the front surface unit 22.

The touch detection unit 240 is a device that realizes the input function of the touch panel, and is arranged between the surface unit 22 and the display unit 230 so as to overlap them. As the touch detection unit 240, in order to detect a plurality of touches at the same time and to detect the touch shape of each touch, for example, a projection-type capacitance in which two types of electrodes are arranged in a matrix (two-dimensional) System touch sensor is adopted. The touch detection unit 240 is configured to detect both the input by the seal 10 and the input by the handwritten signature, but may be configured to detect only the input by the seal 10.

The communication unit 250 is a device that transmits/receives data to/from another device by wire or wirelessly, and transmits, for example, trace data relating to the trace of the touch operation stored in the storage unit 220 to another device such as a management device. ..

The terminal device 20 traces a surface part 22 formed on a substantially flat surface, a capacitive touch detection part 240 capable of detecting a touch operation on the surface part 22, and a trace of a touch operation detected by the touch detection part 240. Since the storage unit 220 stores the data as data, when the touch detection unit 240 detects the proximity of the stamp face portion 12 of the seal 10 to the surface portion 22 as a touch operation, the seal image is stored in the storage unit 220 as trace data. It Further, when the touch detection unit 240 detects the proximity of the stamp face portion 12 to the front face portion 22, the display unit 230 displays the trace image related to the seal impression.

[Operation example of stamp receiving system]
An operation example of the mark receiving system 1 will be described with reference to FIG. When the program for receiving the signature is executed in the terminal device 20, a screen prompting the user to input the signature is displayed via the front surface portion 22. The user uses his/her own seal 10 instead of inputting a signature. In addition, the user can also perform a handwritten signature as usual.

When the user presses the seal face portion 12 of the seal 10 into the sign input area A of the screen displayed through the front face portion 22 (FIG. 3 left), the touch detection unit 240 of the terminal device 20 causes the seal face portion 12 of the seal face portion 12 to move. The proximity to the surface portion 22 is detected. Then, the trace data related to the seal imprint is stored in the storage unit 220, and the trace image related to the seal imprint (seal imprint image B) is displayed in the signature input area A (FIG. 3, right). The user or the like can confirm that the stamp has been correctly imprinted by looking at the imprint image B.

The seal receiving system 1 described above can receive the seal imprint from the seal 10 simply by bringing the seal face portion 12 of the seal 10 into contact with the surface portion 22 of the terminal device 20. When using the seal 10, the user does not have to touch anything other than the seal 10, and just needs to imprint on the surface portion 22 as in the case of imprinting on paper. As a result, the stamp receiving system 1 can easily and hygienically receive the approval input from the user.

Further, the seal receiving system 1 does not necessarily need a means for authenticating the seal 10 and can be realized by a simple configuration. Therefore, the seal receiving system 1 is preferably applied to a scene where a simple approval seal such as a seal is required.
