Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Object of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a card manufacturing method for manufacturing a photo-embedded IC card and the like.

(Prior Art) FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing a method for manufacturing a photo-embedded IC card. This photo IC card is used, for example, to manage employees in a company, and has a photograph of the employee's face affixed to it and also stores data regarding the employee, such as an employee number and name.

This IC card is manufactured by the following method.

First, an image of the employee 1's face is taken by a film camera 2, and the film taken out from the film camera 2 is developed and
Printed and enlarged. Then, the face photograph of the employee 1 is printed on a release print 3, and this release print 3 is filed in a photo ledger 4.

At this time, in the photo ledger 4, together with the peel-off print 3, the employee number r8907890J and the name "Patent Abe" of the employee 1, for example, are written.

These tasks are then performed for each employee.

On the other hand, an employee list 5 is prepared separately, and this employee list 5 includes data such as the name, employee number, and date of birth of each employee.

With the photos and names of each employee being managed in this way, for example, if you create an IC card with the employee's name as "Patented Abe" and the employee number as r8907890J, the photo 6 of this employee will be the photo. It is found from the ledger 4 and pasted onto the transparent vinyl chloride sheet 7. In addition, the employee's name "
Data such as "Patent Fat Be", employee number r8907890J, and date of birth are searched from the employee list 5,
It is typed onto a white vinyl chloride sheet 8 which is the base material of the IC card.

Next, these transparent vinyl chloride sheet 7 and white vinyl chloride sheet 8 are transferred to a card manufacturing process (not shown). In this step, the vinyl sheet 7.8 is overlapped with other vinyl chloride sheets, white vinyl chloride sheets, etc. with the IC module sandwiched therebetween, and is heat-pressed into a card.

The IC card formed by carding is inserted into the data writing device 9, and the data writing device 9 writes data such as the employee's name "Totoku Taabe" and employee number r8907890J into the above-mentioned IC module. .

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) However, the method for manufacturing an IC card as described above is extremely time-consuming and prone to errors.

That is, it is difficult to create a photo ledger 4 by pasting the peel-off print 3 of each employee, and furthermore, it takes time to search the photo ledger 4 for the photo 6 of the corresponding employee. Furthermore, it takes time and effort to peel off the found photograph 6 and paste it on the vinyl chloride sheet 7, resulting in poor workability.

Furthermore, there is a risk that a typing error may occur when data is typed onto the white vinyl chloride sheet 8, or an incorrect input may occur when writing data to an IC module. Furthermore, when pasting the photograph 6 onto the vinyl chloride sheet 7, there is a risk that the wrong employee's photograph may be pasted.

Furthermore, when writing data to the IC module, the ID (name and employee number) written on the IC card must be confirmed, which is cumbersome.

An object of the present invention is to provide a card manufacturing method that has good workability and allows cards to be manufactured easily and without mistakes.
