According to the present invention, the issuance process of the IC card is performed at high speed. In the IC card, magnetic data (name of owner, date of birth, member number, account number, etc.) It is assumed that personal identification information such as a code and a face photograph is written.

In the control system shown in FIG. 2, the IC card automatic issue processing device 10 has an automatic carrier device controller 12, an identification device controller 13, and eight IC unit controllers 14, each of which is a host computer 1.
It is controlled by communicating with 1. The automatic carrier controller 12 communicates with the host computer 11 while
This is for controlling each transport means to transport the card according to a predetermined sequence. The identification device controller 13 is for detecting the conveyed IC card and reading the personal identification information. The IC unit controller 14 receives from the host computer the IC write file that is retrieved and generated by the host computer based on the personal identification information, writes the file in the corresponding IC card, and also performs normal, abnormal, and retest of the card subjected to the write processing. And so on.
Further, the automatic carrier controller 12 communicates with the host computer, and at the same time, the identifier controller 13,
It also communicates with the IC unit controller 14 to carry a card.

Next, FIG. 1 showing the system configuration of the IC card automatic issuance processing device, and FIG. 3 (a) (b) showing the device configuration.
Will be described with reference to. Magazine 2 for storing IC cards
0 has a four-row configuration, and for example, 100 IC cards can be stored in each row, for a total of 400 IC cards. This magazine 20 is conveyed upward by a magazine conveyor 21 of an automatic conveying device, and when it is delivered to an inlet / outlet conveyor 22 and reaches a predetermined position, it is pushed out by four pushers 2.
3, the IC cards 24 are pushed out in units of four. The IC card 24 pushed out is carried on the chain conveyor 26 by the four-feed pusher 25. IC conveyed by the chain conveyor 26
The cards are delivered one by one to the card delivery device 30 by the identification device supply pusher 27 at a predetermined position.

Card transportation by the card feeder 30 is
It is started by transmitting a start signal from the automatic transport device controller 12 to the identification device controller 13. The card feeding device 30 is equipped with one or several types of identification devices 31, which are used to identify individuals such as magnetic data (owner's name, date of birth, membership number, account number, etc.), barcodes, facial photographs, etc. The identification information can be read. If the identification device 31 is of three types, for example, a magnetic data identification device 31a, a barcode identification device 31b, and a face photo identification device 31c, the identification device 31a first performs identification processing, and if identification is successful, another The identification process by the two identification devices is omitted. Further, when the identification device 31a cannot identify, the next identification device 31b performs the identification process, and when the identification device 31c identifies, the identification device 31c omits the identification process. In this way, the identification devices are serially operated, and the identification process is terminated when the identification is successful first, so that the process can be speeded up. When all the identification devices cannot identify the card, the card feeding device 30 is reversely conveyed and the identification process is repeated again the designated number of times. It is desirable to arrange the identification devices so that the face photographs are converted in order from the shortest processing time, since the data conversion of the face photograph takes time at the time of identification. Further, the result of the identification processing is transmitted to the host computer, and, for example, when an error continuously occurs in one identification device, it is conveyed by the host computer so as not to perform identification by the corresponding identification device thereafter. Control the device.

The IC card whose personal information has been identified is further conveyed by the card feeder 30 and then delivered to the IC supply conveyor 33 by the identification device discharge pusher 32. The IC supply conveyor 33 sequentially conveys the IC cards, and the IC card supply pusher 40 transfers the IC cards in units of four.
It is sent to the card carrier 41. At this time, the host computer is informed of the IC unit number for writing data to each card from the host computer, and the IC supply conveyor 33 is controlled to be set in the corresponding IC unit.

The IC card transport device 41 has, for example, a four-row configuration, and four IC cards can be placed in one row. First, when the IC card supply pusher 40 sets four cards at positions 1 ′ to 4 ′ in the figure, and then at the positions 5 ′ to 8 ′, respectively, the IC card transport device 41 sets the eight cards. The card is conveyed one step to the right in the figure, and the cards at the positions 1'to 8'are set to the positions 1 to 8. As a result, the empty one
The IC card supply pusher 4 is provided at the position of the row number 1'to 4 '.
When 0 is set, four cards are set, and the next four cards are brought to positions 5 ′ to 8 ′ on the IC supply conveyor 33. Number 1 to 8 and number 1'to position 8'1
After confirming that the cards with the numbers 1 to 8 have completed the IC writing process and that there are no cards at the positions 1 "to 8", the six cards are transferred to the right side of the drawing by the IC card transport device 41 at the same time. Will be sent out. Data is written by the IC unit 42 to the IC card set in the IC card transport device 41 in this order. In this embodiment, eight IC units 42 are provided. Each host computer designates a device for writing to each card, and a personal file is transferred to the designated unit. Write. Therefore, there is no risk of mismatch between the card and the personal file. The processed IC cards are sequentially placed on the sorting conveyor 43,
The card discharge pusher 44 sorts and discharges the non-defective product stocker 45, the defective product stocker 46, and the retest stocker 47. The sorting process is performed by the IC unit 42. Command / response information is defined in the IC write file sent from the host computer.
Whether the product is a non-defective product or a defective product is determined by the fact that the output information from the IC card is different from the response information defined in the write file. If IC pin contact failure occurs, retest. The result is sent to the host computer, and the automatic transport device controller 12 receives the information from the IC writing device and the discharging process is performed.

Next, a processing flow performed by the automatic transport device controller will be described with reference to FIGS. [Step 1] In FIG. 4, when the power is turned on and an initialization command is received from the host computer,
The presence / absence of cards remaining in the automatic carrier is checked by sensors arranged at various places in the apparatus, and the dummy data is sent to check the transmission with the identification device and the IC unit. The result of initialization (OK, NG) is transferred to the host computer, and if NG, waits for initialization again, and if OK, waits for a start command. When the start command is received from the host computer, the counter inside the controller is cleared. Inside the controller, the IC supply conveyor counters c, I
There are a counter n of the C unit and a counter q when only one IC unit is used. These are reset and the IC unit number I _{n-1 of} the preceding card is set to I _n-1 = 0.

[Step 2] Next, it is checked whether or not the chain conveyor 26 corresponding to the entrance of the card feeding device 30 is empty (presence or absence of a card). To explain the presence / absence check of the card, the flow of the card supply unit will be described with reference to FIG. When the automatic transport device is started, the magazine rises, the pusher (four consecutive pushers 23) pushes out the card, and it is checked whether there is a card on the waiting stage to be placed on the chain conveyor 26 (whether there is a card). If not, repeat the same process. If there is a card, check whether there is a card on the chain conveyor 26 (whether there is a card). If there is no card, the chain conveyor is empty, so use the pusher (four-feed pusher 25) for the card. Is set on the chain conveyor.
Then, it is checked whether or not the chain conveyor 26 corresponding to the entrance of the card feeding device 30 is empty (presence or absence of a card).
Step drive, and if there is a card, it will be in a waiting state.
After that, cards are sequentially supplied by the same process.

Returning to FIG. 4, it is checked whether or not there is a card to be supplied by the above card supply processing, and if there is no card, it waits until a card arrives, and if there is, it is supplied to the card feeding device 30 by a pusher (magazine supply pusher 27). Then
When the ready signal is received from the identification device controller, a start signal is sent to the identification device controller, and the card feeding device 30 carries the card. The identification device 31 checks the data of the card, and when a retry signal is received from the identification device controller, the automatic carrier device controller reversely conveys the card by the card feeder 30 and retries the conveyance again. If the data check result is normal, the end signal is received from the identification device.

When the end signal is received and the number I _n of the IC unit for setting the card is received from the host computer, the process for setting the card in the IC unit is started. If reception of the IC unit number I _n is unsuccessful due to noise or the like, a retry signal is transmitted to the host computer to wait for reception of the number I _n .

[0022] In [Step 3] FIG. 5, the IC unit number _{I n} be set cards currently transported, IC
The counter value n indicating the unit number is compared, and if they do not match, a conveyor flow process is performed to match them. The conveyor flow process will be described with reference to FIG. In FIG. 7, the counter value n is n + 1, and n =
If it is 9, it means that the IC supply conveyor 33 has rotated once, so that n = 1, and then it is checked whether or not the counter value c indicating how many steps the IC supply conveyor 33 has moved is c = 4. If c = 4, four cards are set on the IC supply conveyor 33, so the pusher (IC
IC card carrier 4 by card supply pusher 40)
Send to 1. Next, check whether c = 8,
If c = 8, it means that the IC supply conveyor 33 has moved four steps and four cards have been set. Then, the presence / absence of a card (a card on the waiting stage for the selection conveyor 43) is checked, and if there is, the IC card transport device 41 cannot be moved, so that a waiting state is set. When there is no card, a ready signal is received from the IC unit, a start signal is sent to the IC unit to carry the IC, and the counter value c is reset. If c = 8, four cards have not been set yet, so the IC supply conveyor 3
Move 3 by 1 step and set c to c + 1.

Returning to FIG. 5, the IC supply conveyor 33 is moved by the conveyor flow process to set n = I _n, and then it is checked whether I _n = I _n-1 holds. I
_{Since n-1} is the number of the IC unit of the previous card, it is not usually I _n = I _n-1, and there is a card to go to the IC unit I _n , so the pusher (magazine discharge pusher 32) pushes the conveyor 33. Set the card in. Either the LAST command indicating the last card or the CONTINUE command indicating that the next card is present is transmitted from the host computer, and when the CONTINUE command is received, I _n-1 is stored as I _{n and} the same processing is repeated. . Further, when the LAST command is received, the process proceeds to the card issuing process and the card ejecting process. When only one IC unit is used, I _n = I _{n -1} is always established, and at this time, the idle feeding process for rotating the IC supply conveyor 33 once is performed. That is, when I _n = I _n-1 , the IC supply conveyor is moved one step according to the conveyor flow in FIG.
= Q + 1, the process of counting up the counter value q by 1 is performed until q = 8. When q = 8, the conveyor makes one rotation, so q = 0. It should be noted that, in actuality, without moving the conveyor, only the internal counter is counted up and q = 0.

[Step 4] When the LAST command is received, the idle feeding process of the conveyor is performed again. That is, q = q + 1
As 9-I _n comparison with, q move step by step conveyor with conveyor process flow until it matches the 9-I _n
To count up. For example, if the IC unit number I _n for the last card is I _n = 5,
9-I _n = 4. On the other hand, q is always 0 by the time the process here is reached (see step 3), so that the conveyor is idled four times until it matches 4. When the card is set at the predetermined conveyor position in this way, the card is not present (there is no card at the card ejection position), and the IC card is conveyed after receiving a pass / fail signal from the IC unit and then ejected. .

As shown in FIG. 8, the card discharging process is as follows.
It receives a pass / fail signal from the IC unit and performs card ejection processing on condition that there is no card.

Next, the identification processing flow will be described taking the case where the identification information is magnetic data as an example. FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating a processing flow of the identification device controller. The operator turns on the power to start the processing, and the host computer transmits the number N of transport retries per card and the magnetic data format as the data format as the initial setting information. The result of the initial setting process (OK / NG) is sent to the host computer and
In this case, the initial setting waits again. When the initial setting is completed, it waits for a start command. If the initial settings are not made, the previous setting conditions are used. When the start command comes, it clears the internal retry counter and card counter. The initial values are a retry counter n = 0 and a card counter m = 1. After completion of the initial setting, a ready signal is transmitted to the automatic transport device controller, and when a start signal is received from the automatic transport device controller, magnetic data as card identification information is read. According to the default format,
The magnetic data is checked, and if OK, an end signal is transmitted to the automatic carrier controller. NG, for example, when the time from the reception of the start signal to the reception of the output information of the card has passed a certain time, a retry signal is transmitted to the automatic carrier controller and the automatic carrier controller again sends the retry signal. The start signal is received and the data is read. When the number of transport retries reaches N, an end signal is transmitted to the automatic transport device controller. Then, the reading result (magnetic data, error information, number of items) is sent to the host computer,
The host computer checks the data, and if there is a transmission error, a retry signal is sent, so the read result is sent again. When the CONTINUE signal is received, the retry counter n = 0 and the card counter m = m +
As 1, the ready signal is again transmitted to the automatic transport device controller, and the above-described processing is repeated. The process ends when the end signal is received.

FIG. 10 is a diagram showing a processing flow of the IC unit controller. The power is turned on and the system waits for initial setting information from the host computer. The initial setting information includes the IC unit number to be used, issue processing time limit, SA
It is the transmission specifications such as the use of M (encryption card), clock frequency and baud rate. OK or N for the initial setting
G is sent to the host computer, and if it is NG, it waits for initialization again, and if it is OK, it waits for a start command.
When a start command is received, the file in the IC unit is cleared, a ready signal is transmitted to the host computer, and the host computer waits for a file to be issued. After receiving the file, a ready signal is transmitted to the automatic transport device controller, and when an issuance process start signal is received from the automatic transport device controller, an IC card issuing process (file writing process) is performed. After the issuing process, the issuing process result (PAS
S or FAIL) and then the issuance processing result to the host computer. Retry command from the host computer to request retransmission of information, end command to terminate, or CONT to indicate that there is the next card
When one of the INUE commands is transmitted and the retry command is received, the issue processing result is transmitted again to the host computer. When the end command is received, the process ends and the system waits for a reset command or start command. When the CONTINUE command is received, the file in the IC unit is cleared and the above process is repeated. When the voltage level applied to the IC card is out of the specification, the FAIL signal is output regardless of the result of the issuing process, and the information indicating the voltage abnormality is transmitted to the host computer.

Next, normal processing and abnormal processing of the entire system will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 11 shows a normal processing flow. The host computer, the transport system,
It shows each processing for the identification unit and the IC unit. When the used IC unit number and the number of identification information read retries are set from the host computer,
The transport system is activated, the card is transported to the identification device, the identification information is read out by the identification device, and the host computer searches for the personal IC file based on the read identification information. In the transport system, the card is transported to the IC unit, and the retrieved personal IC file is transferred to and stored in the IC unit. The IC unit performs card detection and contact check (for example, comparison of ANSWER TO RESET signals and continuity check), issues processing, sends the issue result to the host computer, and the host computer manages history. The transport system ejects the card to the stacker, and the IC unit erases the personal IC file.

FIG. 12 is a diagram showing a processing flow when an identification device error occurs. Explaining only the points different from FIG. 11, the identification device checks the data according to the initially set format, requests the transport system to retry the transport in the case of a read error, and if the read error occurs after a predetermined number of retries (read If it is impossible or the data is abnormal), the error information is transmitted to the host computer. The host computer writes an error file containing response information that does not match the output information from the card.
Send to C unit and force the card to be defective.

FIG. 13 is a diagram for explaining an abnormal processing flow when a file search error occurs. As a result of searching the personal IC file based on the identification information from the identification device, if the corresponding file is not found, the host computer determines the error file IC that describes the response information that does not match the output information from the card. Send to the unit and force the card to be defective.

In the above embodiment, the IC card automatic transport device, the IC card identification device, and the IC card writing device are all controlled by the host computer, but the present invention is not limited to this and various modifications are possible. . For example, the IC card identification device determines the IC card writing device and informs the IC card automatic carrier device, or a sensor is installed in the IC card automatic carrier device to detect the card, and the IC card writing device is selected based on the detected information. The load on the host computer can be reduced by letting the host computer know the determined IC card writing device. In addition to this, for example, a method in which a card is detected by an IC card automatic transfer device, an IC card writing device is determined by a host computer based on this detection information, and the determined IC card writing device is notified to the IC card automatic transfer device. Based on the identification information read by the IC card identification device, the host computer determines the IC writing device that conveys the card and informs the automatic IC card conveying device, the IC card identification device determines the IC writing device that conveys the card And then inform the host computer of the IC writing device that conveys the card from the host computer to the automatic IC card conveying device, IC
Various modifications are possible such as a method of determining an IC card writing device for carrying the card by the IC card automatic carrying device at the same time as the carrying end command to the IC card identifying device of the automatic card carrying device.
