Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to an ID card production system for producing an ID card in which a person's image and seven information such as his/her name are recorded on the recording card.

[Behind the invention]

In modern society, there are many cases where ID cards are required. An ID card that also records a person's image is an automatic ID card.
It is used for driver's licenses, employee ID cards, student ID cards, etc., and ID cards that are considered practical are created by composite photography using silver halide photosensitive materials such as Bot's photographic paper. . ID card production systems that use silver halide photosensitive materials such as these to directly print information such as a person's image and name have excellent color tone and Wi-tone tonality, but require processing time such as development. Besides costing a lot? ) Y Requires replenishment of genuine products, which inevitably increases maintenance costs.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

If an ID card with a person's image, name, etc. recorded thereon can be easily and inexpensively produced and provided, it can be used for an extremely wide range of purposes. For example, when it comes to entry passes to the premises of corporate entities, create an ID card that will be removed at the time of entry, and keep this in mind.
It is used for things such as supplying products to the premises. Traditionally, factories,
At laboratories, etc. (in order to maintain confidentiality, foreign Americans are required to wear something to prove their identity on their chest. However, in many cases, it is not just a proof of identity. It is difficult to confirm on the spot whether the person who received permission to enter the gate and the person wearing the foreign American badge are the same as those wearing the foreign American badge at the guardhouse. In order to solve this problem, it is not clear whether the person is a foreign American or not, you can use a composite photo card of a face photo and a business card to prove your identity.This allows you to match the face and name. It can be confirmed.

In addition, at conferences and press conferences, participants are checked when entering the venue and ID cards are created.
Participants also wear this ID card on their chests when attending the event. Furthermore, it is often convenient for the business entity or conference organizer to have such an ID card on hand.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide an ID card production system that can easily, inexpensively, and quickly produce an ID card with a person's image, name, etc. recorded thereon.

Is your business card sideways? ), the process shown in FIG. 3 is completed.

The video camera 1 for photographing a person is rotated 90' to photograph a person. Therefore, the output screen of this camera 1 is horizontal as shown in ■. Also, determine the position to place the business card so that the output screen of the video camera 2 for recording the recording paper will be .

Since these two cameras 1.2 are synchronized, their video signals are ■■. A switching signal (2) is created using the horizontal synchronization signal as a reference, and this signal is used to temporally switch between the video signals (2) and (3) and output the video signals. 0 shows this operation in a block diagram. The output screen synthesized in this way looks like (■), which can be printed out and used as an ID card.

FIG. 5 shows an optical path diagram for photographing the human image M.

The front cover 13 of the ID card making r&h holder has a lens hole 13a near the center, and the photographic lens 1a is located in the lens hole 1.
Photography is performed through 3a. Photographic lens 1 of this embodiment
a is a lens X: with an angle of view of 22°. A rectangular reflecting mirror 16 is located above the lens hole 13 on the front cover 13.
is installed on the side. In this embodiment, since the photograph of the face from the chest upwards is shadowed at the upper position of the screen of the person i shadow video camera 1, a preset photographing distance Ll: The person M who is the subject is located and is relative to the reflector 16. At this time, an appropriate F rimming range that is reflected on the rectangular reflecting mirror and created by f4WB is set so as to match the image range to be combined. Therefore, the person M who is the subject can take a picture while confirming his or her appearance and the shooting range.

In the above embodiment, the size of the reflecting mirror 16 is set to the size that indicates the photographing range, and the size of the reflecting mirror 16 is set to be the size that indicates the photographing range, so that the person M who is the subject selects and determines the position of his or her face. The person N1 determines the position where his/her eyes can look through the reflector 16 as the photographing position,
You can also take pictures.

Photographing is performed by the person M pushing the photographing switch 5, which is extended by the hood to the photographic position rfl. Of course, the photographing switch 5 may be a remote switch, or it may be provided on the outer wall of the ID card production device so that a third party can take the photograph.

FIG. 6 shows a side view of the recording paper photographing unit for business cards and the like. In this embodiment, the business card is photographed at the bottom of the screen photographed by the recording paper 'A 15 video camera 2, so the photographing lens 2

The ID card synthesized from 2a is printed and ejected. On the ID card, a person's image is superimposed on the i-fIll, and a business card or the like is superimposed on the bottom side.

FIG. 7 shows a diagram of the Ill'l card producing device of the embodiment of 1lfi2. The video printer 3 and the power supply/control unit 1 are made of Ninit, and are comprised of a video camera 2 for photographing a person i, a video camera 1 for photographing a person, a recording paper ti2, a stand 6L for photographing a business card, and a video camera 2 for photographing a recording paper for photographing a business card. The camera section is one unit, and the two are connected by a power supply hood and a signal line.

The present invention is not limited to the information shown in Example 5, but also includes an ID card in which a person's image is printed on the underside of the ID card, and recorded information such as a business card is written on the bottom side. However, the present invention does not limit the positional relationship of information on the ID card in any way. In this embodiment, the person's image, business card position, etc. with respect to the video camera 1.2 are set respectively according to the positional relationship on the ID card.・The circuit configuration of the No. J joint circuit 21 is extremely simple.

The above example describes the case where the business card is written horizontally, but
If the business card is written vertically, it is better to take a picture and composite it as shown in the fjSS diagram.In other words, the video camera 1 for photographing people is set up normally and the picture is taken, but in this case, as shown in The business card is photographed so that it is located on the left, and the business card is photographed on the right side of the screen of the recording paper photographing video camera 2 as shown in ■.

The following steps are carried out in the same manner as above, and the final image obtained looks like [phase]. In the method described above, the two cuffs must be synchronized in order to temporally switch and synthesize the outputs of the video cameras 1.2.

For example, the following method as shown in Fig. fjS9 can be adopted for the pond. In other words, a person! Each output signal from Q-shadow video camera 1 and recording paper video camera 2 is imported into image memory such as frame memory, and images are rotated, moved, enlarged, reduced, and synthesized using MPU (microprocessing unit), etc. This method digitally performs necessary arithmetic processing such as trimming,
The output status of the ID card can be changed freely, and the range of applications such as date and time composition is expanded.

Other recorded information recorded in the ID card includes the name of the business entity and the name of the conference, but secondary information is not only captured by the video camera 2, but also set in advance by a program, such as entry date and time, conference name, etc. It is also possible to record the date and time on the ID card using the memory or timer built into the video printer 3. Furthermore, by incorporating or attaching a recording device to the ID card production device and storing the imaged information in the output memory, it is of course possible to print a large number of ID cards of the same type-q report.
