Abstract

PURPOSE:To make a list of members and retrieve a name in it by reading information given to a card directly and processing the information. CONSTITUTION:Information on the top surface of a card is printed on the reverse surface as a bar code. The bar code 111 on the card 11 is read by a bar code reader 12 having five parallel read parts and inputted as a binary code in the input buffer 131 of a computer 13. The computer 13 when information is already written in a memory 14 compares the information with the input information and writes it in the memory 14 in, for example, the order of the Japanese syllabary. Then, card information stored in the memory 14 is accessed by operating a keyboard 15 and displayed on a CRT16 or printed out on a printer 17.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Technical Field of C@liJ] This invention relates to a business card information processing system using business cards as information media.

[Invention "1! Scenery"] In modern society, business cards have become an important means of communication, and many people have a large number of business cards and are having trouble organizing them. One way to do this is to write the date on the business card on the day you receive it.
6<, name ψ11 file, in alphabetical order, or by company, but if the number of business cards is large, it is difficult to search easily. In addition, when receiving business cards from a large amount of visiting moss, such as at various exhibition venues, organizing, sorting, and creating a list of business cards is all done by hand, requiring a great deal of labor.

[Purpose of the invention]

This invention was made in view of the above circumstances, and provides a business card information processing system that can directly read information attached to business cards and process this information to create a list, search for names, etc. aim to do something.

[Key points of the invention]

This invention includes a +KIe reading device a that directly reads information held by business cards, a processing device that processes the information read by this reading device, and performs sorting, searching, etc.
This is a business card information processing system comprising an output device for outputting the '1aY data processed by this processing device to a CRT1 printer, memory, telephone calling device, etc.

[Example of actual invention]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 11 shown in FIG. 11A is a business card 1], and a barcode 111 is printed on the back side of this business card 11 as shown in FIG. As shown in Figure 3, the information in this barcode 111 includes "name, company name, affiliation, address,"
``Telephone number'', and the corresponding ↑ and q information on the front of the business card are coded. Lit\fv of an information processing system using a business card with a 4th or such barcode printed on it
In Fig. J, the barcode ll'l of the business card 11 is read by the barcode reader 12 equipped with five parallel 1B2 picking sections '11+, and the read 10@ becomes a binary code and is read by the computer 13. Enter Kabacha 131
is input. The computer 13 riF-loads the manually entered information into the memory 14 in the format shown in FIG.

If the i'++J report has already been written in the memory 14,
Compare that information with the entered tit Q&7, arrange them in alphabetical order, for example, by name, and then write them down.

Reference numeral 15 denotes a keyboard, and by operating the keyboard 15, business card information stored in the memory 14 can be called up and displayed on the 0RT 16 or printed on the printer 17. In addition, various processing is possible, such as inputting a company name and printing out a list of business card information of employees of that company, or inputting a name and displaying telephone number #I'F. On the other hand, 18 is a telephone transmitting device, with a key "(-
Input from the barcode reader 12 according to the instructions from the code 15.1. When telephone number information is set in the output cross 7a 132 of the computer 13, the code is converted into a pulse train and transmitted from the telephone line. Therefore, even if you do not dial a telephone number, you can easily call the telephone by simply setting a business card or pressing a specific key.

FIG. 6 is an external view of a device in which such an 11 report processing system is integrated, and a liquid crystal device 16 is provided in place of the OITT 16.

However, to make a call, all you have to do is pick up the handset 31, insert your business card into the barcode reader 12, and the receiver S
If you insert your business card while leaving it there, the ・1・f1 information will be recorded in the internal memory.

Figures 7 to 91 show other embodiments.
This is an information processing system using a business card 21 with a magnetic stripe 211 attached. As shown in FIG. 8, the format of the magnetic stripe 211 is basically the same as that of a barcode, but there is an additional information area 2 that can be written later.
It has 12.

In FIG. 9, 22 is a magnetic card reading/writing device (hereinafter abbreviated as magnetic R/W device);
At the same time, the information read from the computer 23 is sent to the manual buffer 231 of the computer 23, and the information set in the output button 7a 232 of the computer 23 is written to the additional information area 212 of the business card 21. Memory 14, keyboard 15
, CIt '11'16・Printer 17, 'rj'j
Since the speech transmitting device fii18 is the same as that shown in FIG. 4, a description thereof will be omitted.

To write information on the business card 21, enter the write data from the keyboard 15 and operate the write instruction key, and the data will be sent to the output bag 7a 232, and the business card The information is transferred to the i-additional information area 212 in the magnetic stripe 211 of No. 21. Therefore, the date on which the business card was received, comments, etc. can be recorded on the business card and retrieved at a later date.

In the above embodiments, a barcode reader and a magnetic card reader are used as examples of reading devices, but the present invention is not limited to these, and may be an optical character recognition device, a magnetic ink reading device, or the like. Alternatively, a business card stocker can be installed so that a large number of business cards can be continuously read at one time.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, according to the present invention, just by inserting the business card into the reading device, the business card can be knocked over.
Since it can process N, it has the following effects.

a. You can search for necessary business card information from a large amount of business card information.

You can create b0 directory and customer list.

C. By using a printer, you can print addresses such as direct mail.

d. You can make automatic calls.

Desired 1'#-information can be recorded on the e1 business card.
