The card reader 4 as a reading means includes:
This is a device that takes in an ID card on which identification information for identifying a user is recorded, and reads the recorded identification information. The auxiliary storage device 5 is configured by a storage device such as a hard disk, and records format data of the application form to be issued. The application must use several different formats depending on the type of certificate to be issued. For this reason, in the present embodiment, a plurality of types of application forms are stored in the auxiliary storage device 5, and the control device 1 determines whether the application specified by the user or the type of certificate to be applied is required. The corresponding format is read from the auxiliary storage device 5.

The communication control device 8 as communication means controls communication with the host computer 9 in order to obtain user information from the identification information read from the card reader. The host computer 9 reads the user information corresponding to the identification information received from the terminal device from the database stored in the database storage means 10 as the user information storage means, and transmits it to the terminal device. In the database storage means 10, user information is recorded in association with the identification information. The printing device 7 is composed of, for example, a laser beam printer, and the control device 1 combines the format of the application form and the user information sent from the host computer 9 and drives the printing device 7 to apply. Print the book data.

FIG. 2 shows the control device 1 when an application form is issued.
5 is a flowchart showing the process according to FIG. Hereinafter, description will be made with reference to FIG. The control device 1 displays on the display device 2 the types of application forms that can be issued by the application form issuing device 100. The user designates a desired application form from among the types of application forms displayed on the display device 2 by touching a portion displayed on the screen of the display device 2 with the input device (touch panel) 3. . When the user touches the input device 3, the control device 1 recognizes which part of the display device 2 has been designated and acquires the type of application to be issued (S1).

The input device 3 is not limited to a touch panel, but may be operated by a keyboard or the like, that is, by operating a cursor key or inputting an item number.
A desired format may be specified.

Next, the control device 1 displays guidance on the display device 2 for urging the user to insert the ID card into the card reader 4, and waits for the ID card to be inserted into the card reader 4 (S2). When the ID card is inserted into the card reader 4 (S2: YES), identification information for identifying the user is read from the inserted ID card (S2).
3). In the present embodiment, it is assumed that the ID card is a magnetic card and only limited information such as recognition information and a user's first and last names is recorded. If the ID card is a medium capable of storing a relatively large amount of information like an IC card, for example, not only the recognition information but also the information necessary for creating an application can be stored in the IC card. The information can be read from the card.

The control device 1 transmits the identification information read by the card reader 4 to the host computer 9 via the communication control device 8. The host computer 9 sends back detailed information on the user corresponding to the identification information sent from the control device 1 to the control device 1. The control device 1 acquires the user information sent from the host computer 9 via the communication control device 8 (S4).

Here, if the communication control device 8, the host computer 9, and the database storage means 10 are considered as user information storage means connected to the control device 1 in a broad sense, the control device 1 In addition to functioning as information extracting means for extracting data corresponding to the identification information from the data stored in the means, it also functions as format reading means for reading format information from the auxiliary storage device 5 as described above. It also functions as a combining unit that combines the user information and the format information to generate a print image.

Next, the format of the application form specified by the user using the input device (touch panel) 3 is extracted from the auxiliary storage device 5 connected to the control device 1 (S).
5). The control device 1 combines the user information (name, address, etc.) acquired in S4 with the format of the application form read from the auxiliary storage device 5, and creates a print image of the application form in the RAM inside the control device 1. (S6). If necessary, the date of the application date and the like can be added to the image of the application form. By printing the image of the application form synthesized in this way by the printing device 7, an application form in which necessary items such as a name and an address are described is completed (S7).
The printed certificate is discharged from the application issuing device 100,
In the hands of the user. Most of the necessary items are already described in the application form issued as described above, and the user simply signs and seals the application form as needed,
You can complete the application form and submit it to the counter of the organization that issues the certificate.

FIG. 3 shows an example 70 of an application form in which necessary items are described, which is printed as described above. The format of the application form 70 (that is, the arrangement and size of characters, ruled lines, and the like) is read from the auxiliary storage device 5. The name, date of birth and address are stored in the database storage means 10.
This is the data stored in. The type of the certificate, the conditions for grant, and the like are specified by the user operating the application form issuing device 100. The control device 1 combines the various data described above to create an image of the application form shown in FIG.

In the above-described embodiment, the format of the application is stored in the auxiliary storage device 5, and the user information described in the application is stored in the database storage unit 1.
It has been described as being stored in 0. However, the present invention is not limited to such a system,
For example, when the user information is also stored in the auxiliary storage device 5, the user information is simply read from the auxiliary storage device 5 without performing data communication with the host computer 9 via the communication unit 8. Application forms can be issued.

Alternatively, if the ID card is an IC card and all the data necessary for issuing an application is stored in the IC card, the host computer 9 and the application output device 100 are also connected. It is possible to issue an application in which necessary items are described based only on the data read from the IC card and the format of the application, without performing data communication between them.

In the above-described embodiment, an example has been described in which an application is issued using an ID card of a user who is a target of a certificate to be issued. Some information is also required. In order to cope with such an application, it is also possible to read the card of the agent, combine the data of the user and the agent as appropriate, and print the data. Alternatively, instead of issuing the application with all items listed, some items may be issued after the application is issued,
You may make it replenish by handwriting.

In the above-described embodiment, the application form issuing apparatus 100 has been described. However, the function of the application form issuing apparatus of the present invention may be added to a conventional automatic certificate issuing machine. In this case, in S1 of the flowchart of FIG. 2, not only the type of application but also the type of certificate may be displayed on a menu. S2
The subsequent processing is basically the same in the case of issuing a certificate and in the case of issuing an application form (however, in the case of issuing a certificate, the step of allowing the user to enter a password and the step of collecting a fee) Must be inserted before issuing the certificate).

In the description of FIG. 2, the type of application is first selected, and then control is performed so as to insert an ID card. However, the order is not limited to this.
For example, the type of the application form may be selected after inserting the card first (S1 in FIG. 2 is replaced by S2 and S2).
3). In addition, acquisition of user information (FIG. 2)
There is no problem even if the order of S4) and reading the format of the application form (S5) is changed.
