2. Description of the Related Art Recently, a certificate automatic issuing machine (terminal device) has been installed near a window of a public office, which automatically issues documents such as a copy of a family register by a user directly operating the device. Came. An ID card is given to the user in advance, and various information such as a user ID identification code including a personal identification number of the user is stored in the ID card.

On the other hand, for example, in characters related to individuals used in family registers (for example, surnames such as Watanabe), so-called "lie characters" (special character information) may be used. However, under the current law, it is necessary to create a copy of the family register, etc., in the font style as it is. In order to deal with such a case, when the “lie character” is registered as external character data on the host computer side and the family register etc. is printed by the automatic certificate issuing machine, the external character data is downloaded from the host computer and the It was outputting "lie".

[0004]

However, it takes a long time for the external character search, communication with the host computer, and the like. On the other hand, documents such as family register are important documents, and it was inconvenient that the user could not leave the terminal device from the viewpoint of crime prevention during the waiting time. Moreover, it is necessary to register various external characters for many users, and a huge external character area (storage device) is required for the registration.

Therefore, the present invention has been made in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, and has reduced the storage area used for external characters on the host computer side, simplified the system, and improved the processing speed. An object is to provide a terminal device system.

[0006]

In order to achieve this object, the present invention makes an ID card storing information for individual identification read by a terminal device connected to a host computer, and relates to the individual. In the terminal device system in which the information of 1 is obtained from the host computer and output from the terminal device, the ID card stores character information that is not registered in the host computer and is related to the individual of the ID card owner.

[0007]

Operation: The ID card stores special character information about the individual. When the user inserts such an ID card directly into the terminal device, the terminal device reads the special character information and without passing through the host computer,
The special character information is output directly from the terminal device. Therefore, the special character information can be output without waiting for the transmission from the host computer, the waiting time is reduced, and it is not necessary for the host computer side to prepare the external character area for the special character information.

17; YES). If the price is coins, coin slot 5a
It is thrown in from and enters into coin mech 5. If it is a bill, it is inserted from the bill insertion slot 6a and enters the bill burr 6. At this time, if necessary, the change is paid out from the coin mech 5 and discharged from the outlet 8. The hanging bill is paid out from the bill burr 6 and discharged from the bill insertion slot 6a. Further, the receipt is printed by the journal printer 12 and ejected from the take-out port 8.

When the CPU 13 confirms that the charge has been collected, it displays the screen during creation on the CRT display device 3. In addition, a signal is also sent to the voicing device 16 to utter "I am currently creating a certificate. Please wait for a while" (step S18). At the same time, the CPU 13 requests the host computer 31 for data necessary for issuing a certificate. The host computer 31 searches the database 32, and the user ID obtained from the ID card 40
CPU of the certificate issuing machine 1 extracts necessary information from the identification code and the data such as the selected document type.
Send to 13. CPU 13 is a host computer 31
The data transferred from is sent to the laser printer 11 for printing. If the special character information is read, the CPU 13 also prints the special character information (step S19). At this time, the laser printer 1
The end of the certificate printed by 1 is bound by the stapler 14, the tally machine 15 gives a tally mark (perforation mark), and the certificate is ejected from the certificate ejection port 7 (step S20).

Then, the CPU 13 displays the "end screen". In addition, a signal is also sent to the voicing device 16 to say "Certificate is complete. Please take care. Be careful not to forget receipts and cards. Thank you." (Step S21). In addition, the CPU 13 transmits a command to the card reader 2, and the card insertion port 2a I
The D card 40 is ejected. Then, when it is detected that the ID card 40 is taken out, after a while, the same "card insertion screen" as described above is displayed on the CRT display device 3, and the above-described operation is repeated.

Further, the remote operation panel 33 is provided at the hand of a person in charge of maintenance of the apparatus, and when the user presses the call button 2 or when the certificate issuing machine 1 runs out of printing paper, for example. Then inform them to the person in charge with a lamp or buzzer.
