【Example】

 Embodiments will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a layer configuration diagram of a card according to an embodiment of the present invention (a sectional view taken along the line AA in FIG. 2), and FIGS. 2 and 3 are plan views showing a front surface and a back surface of the card, respectively.

In the card 1 of this embodiment, pattern printing layers 3a and 3b are provided on both sides of a center core 2 having a two-layer structure made of vinyl chloride resin, and the surface of each of the pattern printing layers 3a and 3b on the front and back sides is provided. Are also covered with oversheet layers 4a and 4b also made of vinyl chloride resin, and an image receiving layer 5 partially consisting of character information and image information is provided on the surface of the front side oversheet layer 4a, and the surface thereof is protected by a protective layer. 6, a magnetic stripe layer 7 is provided along the longitudinal direction of the card 1 on a part of the front surface of the backside oversheet layer 4b.

The surface of the card 1 has a function of an ID card, and the image receiving layer 5 thereof, as shown in FIG. 2, includes a type display section 8 for displaying the type of ID card and an employee number display section 9. It is composed of a character information display section including a name display section 10 and an expiration date display section 11, and an image information display section 12 for displaying a face photograph of a cardholder. The back side of the card 1 has a function of a CD card (cash card), and is provided with a character printing section 13 for displaying a bank name and a card type, an embossing section 14, and an upper magnetic field. The striped layer 7 contains necessary information necessary for a CD card such as a personal identification number, a financial institution number, a store code, an account number, and information (ID information) related to the employee ID such as employee number, name, and expiration date. It is encoded. Here, when encoding the ID information, the spare area in the bank unified format of the CD card is used.

FIG. 4 is an explanatory view showing a system for forming the image receiving layer 5 on the surface of the card. As shown in the figure, when the image receiving layer 5 is formed on the surface of the card 1, the image data is input from the face photograph 15 to the computer 17 via the video camera 16 and filed on the magneto-optical disk 18, while the employee number Character information 19 such as a name and a name is input to the computer 17 via the floppy disk 20. Next, print data for each card is edited from the image data and the character data obtained in this way, and then the print data is printed on the surface of a raw card prepared in advance using the printer 21. At this time, magnetic encoding of the ID information on the magnetic stripe layer 7 is also performed at the same time. Here, the printer 21 forms an image receiving layer 5 by directly printing or printing on the surface of a raw card by a transfer method using a ribbon of a sublimation dye.

According to the card 1 of the present embodiment, the card holder can be confirmed by visually checking the display of the employee ID card on the front surface, and the ID encoded on the magnetic stripe layer 7 on the back surface can be confirmed. By reading the information with a card reader, it can be used for various systems such as the automatic payment system in the employee cafeteria and the system for using the conference room in the company. In addition, the information related to the CD card encoded in the magnetic stripe layer 7 on the back side is used in the automatic deposit / payment machine of a specific bank.

The above card 1 is most suitable for use by a bank clerk who always has his or her own bank account. Moreover, even an employee of a general company can deeply connect with a particular bank by automatic transfer of salary. It is suitable for use as a card that doubles as the bank's CD card and company employee ID card when involved.

When image information is formed on the surface of the card, the sublimation transfer method as described above can be used, and a photographic printing paper for a facial photograph can be used as it is. FIG. 5 and FIG. 6 show an embodiment in which the photographic printing paper for facial photographs is used in this way.

In the example of FIG. 5, the face photographic printing paper 22 is enclosed in a part of the surface of the center core 2, and the surface is covered with the pattern printing layer 3a and the oversheet layer 4a. Further, in the example of FIG. 6, the face photograph printing paper 22 is attached to a part of the surface of the picture pattern printing layer 3a on the front surface side, and the surface is protected by the mask label 23. In the case of the embodiments shown in these examples, the character information is displayed by a method such as attaching a label or handwriting on a sign panel on the surface of the card.

In the above embodiment, the necessary information required for the CD card and the employee ID information (ID information) are encoded in one magnetic stripe layer provided on the back side. For example, it is needless to say that two magnetic stripe layers may be provided on the same side or one magnetic stripe layer may be provided on one side to encode each information separately.
