Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Purpose] To reduce the usage of card-shaped recording media by reusing used cards. [Structure] A card 8 which has already been created and is no longer needed is set in the card printer 7, and unnecessary information 15 on the card 8 is set.
The mark 16 and the like are overprinted and erased, and new information 17 is printed. By this operation, the old card is reborn as a new card.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to various cards such as identification cards, driver's licenses, student IDs, employee IDs, alien registration cards, and other magnetic cards, IC cards, optical cards, and the like.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 Conventionally, in order to create a card as described above, as described in JP-A-61-51391 or JP-A-62-55192, a card-shaped recording medium requires a face photograph, a name, etc. After printing the information, a transparent protective material is overcoated to create a card.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 By the way, there are cases where various cards can be used only to some extent, but some cards can be used to some extent. However, in the conventional card making device, a card that can be used only one in time series is printed separately each time the description of the card changes, and the used card has to be discarded. The use amount of such card-shaped recording media is increasing.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the above problems, the present invention leaves necessary parts of an already created card, erases unnecessary information by overprinting, and prints new information so that it can be used as a new card. I chose

[0005]

[Action]

 The already created card can be reused as a card-shaped recording medium, and the usage amount of the card-shaped recording medium can be reduced.

[0006]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Here, FIG. 1 is a system configuration diagram of an apparatus for creating a card according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is an explanatory view of card reuse by the apparatus, and FIG. 3 is an explanatory view of reuse of another card by the apparatus. is there.

The card making device controls a TV camera 1 as an image input device for inputting a portrait image as image data, a monitor display 2 for displaying an image taken by the TV camera 1, characters and control of the card making device. A keyboard 3 for inputting necessary information, a personal computer (hereinafter abbreviated as "CPU") 4 having an FDD for controlling the entire card making apparatus, a high resolution display 5 for displaying various information, An MO (magneto-optical disk) 6 for storing various kinds of information, and a card printer 7 for printing information on a card-shaped recording medium to create a card 8.

When a card is created by this card creating apparatus, first, the person M is imaged while being confirmed on the monitor display 2 by the TV camera 1, and the image information is taken by the CPU 4 while the necessary image is taken. After it is stored in the internal memory of the display, it is displayed on the display 5, and the character information such as the content to be proved here is input from the keyboard 3 while checking the display 5 to create the required card on the display 5, and then the key The print instruction information is input from the board 3, and the print data is transferred from the CPU 4 to the card printer 7 by this, and the card printer 7 prints on the card-shaped recording medium based on the input print data to print the card 8. Issue. The face image and the character data can be stored in the FD, MO5 or the like in advance.

When the use of the card created as described above is finished, the created card 8 is set in the paper feeding section 7a of the card printer 7 to print necessary information in the same manner and Information is overprinted and erased. In this case, overprinting for erasing unnecessary information can be performed, for example, by printing a predetermined mark or the like, the print position is stored in the FD or MO5, and printing is performed based on this stored information. Should be done. Alternatively, the magnetic code may be stored in advance in the card, and the information to be printed may be managed by the CPU 4 by reading it out at the time of printing, and the information may be printed on the card in conformity with this. .

Therefore, an example of reusing a created card will be described first with reference to FIG. 2. In this example, a student ID is reused for each grade. On this student ID card, an image of the student's face photograph 11 and each character of student number 12, university name 13, department 14 and grade 15 are printed. As shown in (a) of the figure, the grade 15 is initially “first grade”, but when the student becomes a second grade, a mark 16 is added to the letter of the grade 15 as shown in (b) of the figure. When overprinting and erasing, a new 17th grade letter is printed on the lower side of the text, and when the student becomes a third grade student, as shown in Fig. (C), the grade 17 The mark 18 is overprinted on the character and erased, and the character of the grade 3 of "3rd grade" is newly printed on the lower side of the mark 18 and the transparent protective layer 8a is overcoated. For students, this kind of usage is easy because the grade is usually changed.

Further, the example of FIG. 3 is a case where the examination ticket is changed to a student ID card and reused. As shown in (a) of the same figure, an image of the face photograph 21 of the examinee, the name 22, the title 23 of the certificate "Examination ticket", and the examination number 24 are printed on the examination card. Then, when the examinee passes and becomes a student, as shown in (b) of the figure, the title 23 of the certificate of "examination ticket", the title 27 of "student ID", the university and department 28 to which the student belongs The letters of the entrance year 29 and address 30 are printed. The printing is performed in the same manner as the conventional technique.

[0012]

[Effect of the device]

 As described above, according to the present invention, the necessary portion of the pre-made card is left, unnecessary information is erased by overprinting, and new information is printed on this overprinted portion. As a result, the created card can be reused as a card-shaped recording medium, and the usage amount of the card-shaped recording medium can be reduced.
