Abstract

PURPOSE:To considerably improve the reliability of seal-impression collation or the like by actually measuring the physical attributes of the own seal- impression such as the dimensiona or the shape corresponding to the registration of print image data, registering those attributes and collating all the data at the time of collation. CONSTITUTION:A print 6 is read by an IOCR 2, and a real object 7 of the seal-impression is set to a measuring instrument part 5 of the collating machine. Then, the respective physical attribute data such as the dimension or the like are measured. Both of the read result and the measured result are stored in a memory 8 of a processing part 1 with a file format. A keyword account number is inputted from a keyboard display 3, the print instructed to be read is displayed on the keyboard display 3, the real object 7 of the seal-impression is set to the measuring instrument part 5, the respective physical attributes such as the dimension or the like are measured, and the result is displayed on the keyboard display 3 and compared or collated with registered data.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention aims to improve the reliability of authenticity judgment at the time of verification in a device for registering and verifying a seal stamp.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional seal stamp collating machine reads a seal imprint imprinted on a predetermined sheet with an image OCR, stores this data in a memory, reads it at the time of collation, displays it on a display, and re-creates an actual seal stamp. This is to visually compare and collate with the imprint of the imprint.

An example of this type of device is Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 56-
82980, JP-A-59-41086 and the like.

[0004]

In the conventional seal stamp collating machine, since the imprint imprinted is read as image data, the imprint imprinted due to the force applied at the time of imprinting, the darkness and attachment of the red meat, and the stain on the paper. Variations occur each time.

Therefore, even if this is read and compared with the imprint of the actual product imprinted at another time, it is difficult to judge whether or not they completely match. This is an unavoidable problem as far as comparing the imprinted imprints.

The object of the present invention is to increase the reliability of the seal stamp collation by actually measuring and registering the physical attributes such as the size and shape of the seal stamp in addition to the seal imprint registration and matching all these data at the collation. To improve it.

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems] In addition to the imprint, the above-mentioned objects are the shape, size, weight, hardness of material, electric resistance,
By measuring the notch depth etc. with each measuring device and storing the result as numerical data in the memory of the device together with the image data of the seal imprint so that it can be read out and displayed or printed at any time. Can be achieved.

[0008]

[Function] When registering a seal, the seal itself is set in the apparatus at the same time as the image OCR stamped on the paper is read. A device for sequentially measuring the external dimensions, shape, weight, etc. is prepared inside the device, and the measurement results are converted into numerical data. The measured personal seal stamp data is sequentially stored in a predetermined memory area corresponding to the search keyword at the time of matching. Keywords are the name of the seal owner, account number, etc. At the time of collation, in addition to the result of reading the seal imprint data, the above-mentioned physical attribute data is read so that the actual seal stamp can be set again in the device and compared with the result of measurement.

As a comparison method, a method of visually displaying the data on a display or a method of automatically performing the program processing in the read memory and a method of observing the paper on which the data is printed can be considered.

The more physical attributes of the stamp to be measured and registered, the more effective it is to improve the reliability of the verification. However, since the apparatus also becomes large and the cost increases accordingly, if it is limited in consideration of the completeness of the verification. Good.

A considerable effect can be expected only by the shape, size and weight. In addition, since it is often possible to judge the authenticity by comparing only the seal imprint display, it is advantageous in terms of operation time and efficiency if the comparison of physical data by measurement can be treated as an auxiliary means when it is difficult to judge. Is.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an embodiment of a seal stamp collating machine. First, at the time of registering a seal stamp, a seal imprint 6 imprinted on a predetermined paper is read by an image OCR2. Further, the actual seal stamp 7 is set in the measuring device section 5 of the collating machine, and the physical attribute data such as dimensions are measured. The reading result and the measurement result are stored together in the memory 8 of the processing unit 1 in the file format as shown in FIG. 2, that is, in association with the account number and name of the seal stamp owner. In this example, register or search for account number 9 (display)
It is used as a keyword for time.

Next, FIG. 3 shows a processing procedure at the time of collation. When the user inputs the keyboard 9 from the keyboard 3 and issues a read instruction, a seal image is displayed on the display 3. The imprint of the imprint to be compared with this is visually checked to see if it is the same imprint. If they match, it is judged as the same mark, and if they do not match, it is judged as a different mark. The problem is when neither can be judged in the middle.

In this case, the seal 7 itself is replaced with the measuring unit 5
And measure each physical attribute such as dimensions. The result is displayed on the display 3 and visually compared and collated with the registered data. As a result, it is possible to make a true / false decision for most of the items that could not be decided only by comparing the imprints.

Here, the printer 4 is used for a hard copy of the display, and is used for collation with a printed sheet when it is difficult to visually compare by display.

[0016]

According to the present invention, the collation rate and reliability at the time of collating a seal stamp can be significantly increased. In particular, the judgment based only on the imprint that has been stamped has many variations due to the attachment of the red ink and the like, and there is a limit to the improvement of the collation rate.
