Description

Card with hidden image confirmation window {Card including window for identification of hidden image}

The present invention relates to a card having a hidden image confirmation window, and more particularly, to a card having a hidden image confirmation window so as to conveniently use various hidden image confirmation services implemented on the Internet in connection with a card-specific function. .

Hidden image identification technology that specially composes periodical arrangement pattern and color, brightness, saturation, etc. of characters or symbols to image unique information such as winning details, and then identifies unique information through filtering of specific color Is widely known under the name of 'Web Decoder', and it is effectively applied to various event services provided through the Internet due to its characteristic of grafting on / offline as disclosed in US Pat. No. 5,984,367. I'm adding.

According to the hidden image technology, a unique hidden image is usually formed on one side of the ticket, and the hidden image is identified when the ticket is reflected in a predetermined image display area on the computer monitor.

However, the method of distributing a unique hidden image on a ticket such as a gift certificate, a coupon, an event participation card, etc. and distributing it to a user is inexpensive considering that the ticket is used only once, and a unique hidden image must be formed for each ticket. There are vulnerabilities that are cumbersome to produce.

In particular, the recent industry is doubling the advertising effect by linking various points, mileage payments and membership services to hidden image services, which are used as advertisements for goods or companies, and web promotions to encourage customers to visit websites. Considering the trend, there is an urgent need to devise a hidden image identification means that can be easily carried and used universally.

The present invention has been made in view of the above, and an object thereof is to provide a card having a hidden image confirmation window that can be used interchangeably as an identification means for various hidden images.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a card for providing a hidden image identification means together with a recording function of information so that a hidden image-related service can be used with a unique function of the card.

The following drawings attached to this specification are illustrative of the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and together with the detailed description of the present invention to serve to further understand the technical spirit of the present invention, the present invention is a matter described in such drawings It should not be construed as limited to.

7.Hidden Image Window

Card is provided with a hidden image confirmation window according to the present invention to achieve the above object, the card body; And a magnetic bar formed along a longitudinal direction on one side of the body for magnetic recording, wherein a translucent filter window for transmitting only light of a specific wavelength to read a hidden image displayed on the monitor is provided on one side of the body. It is characterized by being formed.

According to another embodiment of the present invention, the card body; And a barcode unit in which a code unique to a card is printed in a bar code form on one side of the card body, wherein one side of the card body has a translucent filter window for transmitting only light of a specific wavelength to read a hidden image displayed on a monitor. There is provided a card, characterized in that formed in.

According to another embodiment of the present invention, the card body; And a serial number unit in which a code unique to a card is printed on one side of the card body in the form of a serial number, wherein the translucent filter window transmits only light of a specific wavelength to read a hidden image displayed on a monitor. There is provided a card which is formed on one side.

Preferably, the present invention further comprises an IC chip formed on one side of the body for electrical recording.

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

First, Figures 1 and 2 are views showing the front and rear of the card is provided with a hidden image confirmation window according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the card according to the present invention comprises a card body (1), a magnetic bar (2) and a filter window (4). Although the drawing shows an embodiment configured to use the present invention as a credit card, the present invention is not limited thereto and may be applied to various kinds of cards in which unique information is recorded on the card itself, such as a debit card, a membership card, and various event cards. Of course.

Preferably, the magnetic bar 2 formed on the rear side of the card body 1 is a part for magnetically recording unique card-related information. A well-known magnetic recording material is employed to form a thin film bar. It consists of a bar.

The filter window 4 formed on one side of the card body 1 is a monochromatic translucent window for reading a hidden image by filtering only light having a specific wavelength among the colors of the hidden image displayed on the monitor according to the present invention. According to the hidden image technology of the blue translucent window is composed of a unique image from the hidden image. Here, the color of the filter window 4 is not limited to blue, and the formation position on the card body 1 is not limited to the drawings but may be variously modified.

As an example of a method of forming the filter window 4 in the card body 1, a method may be adopted in which a specific point on the card body 1 is made of a translucent material, and on one side of the card body 1. After forming the aperture, a method of inserting a translucent acrylic window into the aperture may be employed.

In the card according to the present invention, an IC chip 3 commonly used in an electronic card such as a smart card is additionally formed to enable electrical storage of data, thereby allowing input and output of a wider variety of information.

As an alternative to the means for storing the unique card-related information, a method of forming a unique barcode part 5 as shown in FIG. 3 or a unique serial number part 6 as shown in FIG. It is also possible to configure the identifier, and to manage the information corresponding to the database. Although the drawing shows an embodiment configured to use the present invention as a membership card, the present invention is not limited thereto and is applicable to various types of cards as described above.

In the present invention, it is preferable to print the usage for hidden image identification on one side of the front surface of the card, for example, as shown in FIG.

Then, a use example of the present invention configured as described above will be described.

The present invention is used as an application for checking a hidden image from the hidden image window 7 displayed on the computer monitor as shown in FIG. As is well known, letters or symbols are arranged in the hidden image window 7, and letters or symbols of a specific point are formed so as to distinguish colors, brightness, saturation, etc. from other parts, and are not identified with the naked eye. Or a pattern. 6 shows an example of the hidden image window 7 constructed in this manner.

By placing the card according to the present invention on the hidden image window 7 and superimposing the filter window 4 and the hidden image window 7, a specific color is filtered out from the hidden image to identify the image as shown in FIG. 7. This is done.

In the above, preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
