BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a person who issues an electronic form slip or a person who stamps a slip printed on paper to give approval and approval.
Means for ensuring that the person who has the qualification can be strictly inspected by simply performing a similar imprinting or imprinting operation using a seal with an ID code transmission function linked to a computer system. Regarding

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As is well known, in Japan, a seal stamp is generally used to identify a person who has performed an action. However, it is also known that the method of identifying an actor by a seal stamp often causes a problem because it is relatively easy to forge the seal stamp.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems of the related art and can reliably identify a person who has used a seal stamp, and can be used for issuing electronic slips and for approval and approval of ordinary slips. An object of the present invention is to provide a seal stamp that can prove and confirm that the person has a genuine qualification and a device that uses the seal stamp.

[0004]

In order to achieve the above object, according to the present invention, an ID having a built-in small ID code transmitting device which transmits a specific ID code in response to reception of an electric wave of a specific frequency from the outside. When a seal imprinting function having a code transmitting function is used to perform a seal imprinting action or a seal imprinting action on a part of the device incorporated in the computer system, the device inspects the ID code transmitted by the seal stamp and Only when it is confirmed that the user of is a person who has a legitimate applicable qualification for the voucher that is to be issued, authorized, or approved by similar or imprinting of the seal.
Information that is generated by the imprinting act (for example, the ID code, the place or time when the imprinting was performed, on the side of the imprint that enabled the issuance of the electronic form slip or was imprinted on the slip printed on paper,
The name of the device used is registered in the database in the computer system, and the registration number is used) to be encrypted and printed so that it can be checked and verified strictly at another location or department later.

[0005]

In the past, in order to determine whether or not a person who intends to perform a certain action has a legitimate qualification, for example, the ID code of the user is magnetically printed inside a credit card. It has been performed such that the ID code transmitting device is built in. There are various ID code transmitters, and relatively large ones that include a power supply battery were also used, but in recent years, those that do not have an extremely small power supply, such as those made by Texas Instruments, Inc. A transponder called R at 134 kHz
It is powered by F-pulses, and with this supplied power, a specific 20 different for each transponder.
A small capsule type that responds with a digit code has become commercially available. This has an outer diameter of about 4 mm and a length of 2
It has a cylindrical shape of about 6 mm, and since no battery is used, there is no need to consider the battery life, it is light, and it is easy to store it inside a commonly used seal. The operating frequency is 1
Since it is as low as 34 kHz, most substances can be transmitted and read. Of course, as can be seen from the above operation principle, the effective reading distance of this transponder is at most 50 to 1
Although it is about 00 cm, there is no problem in the apparatus according to the present invention as long as this effective reading distance.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS FIG. 1 is a diagram for explaining an outline of a method of using a seal stamp having an ID code transmitting function according to the present invention.

It is relatively easy to determine whether to permit the issuance of the electronic slip using the seal stamp according to the present invention. When the input terminal of the computer system is operated to issue the electronic slip, first, The input terminal is required to insert a seal stamp having an ID code transmitting function into the ID code reader and perform a seal-like action. When the imprint similar action is performed in response to this request, the ID code reading device
A radio wave of a predetermined frequency is transmitted for a predetermined time to a seal having a D code transmission function, and a 20-digit ID code peculiar to the ID code transmitter is transmitted from the ID code transmitter included in the seal and received. And read the ID code. Then, as shown in the lower left of FIG. 1, the read ID
If the code is correct, it should already be registered in the database of the computer system, so it is checked against the database. As a result of collation, the I
If it is found that the D code is already registered in the database, the issuance of the electronic form slip is permitted, and the issuing process is executed as it is in the other part of the computer system. In this case, at the same time that the seal imprinting function having the ID code transmitting function is performed, the holder of the seal stamp is memorized from another device by an ID code (or the ID code itself). If you let me input a so-called password that is a little shorter than
The qualification examination of the seal holder can be performed more strictly.

When a standard printed slip is stamped with a stamp having an ID code transmitting function, information generated along with the stamp, for example, the ID code, the place and time of the stamp. If you register the device name and device name in the database of the computer system, and print the registration number as the code of the above information on the side of the imprinted seal, other people will not be able to understand the content from the number. It is impossible at all. However, when collating and confirming later in another place, in another department, it is not only found that the imprinter has a valid authorized qualification, but also other information related to the imprint. Because it is obtained from the database
Very useful in some cases. Also in this case, not only the seal but also the ID code memorized by the seal holder can be input from another device, so that the qualification can be checked more strictly.
