As a result, the information recognized by the passport reader 10 is displayed on the monitor 2 of the display unit 2, that is, the computer 1 of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. That is, the information of the passport 3 scanned by the scanning unit 30 of the passport reader 10 to be described later, and the information received by the electronic chip receiver (not shown) of the passport reader 10 to be described later, Information input to the electronic chip (not shown) of 3), that is, information stored in an RFID chip (Radio Frequency IDentification Chip) is displayed on the monitor 3, and the controller (not shown) determines whether they match. Afterwards, the result of this is displayed on the monitor 2 together with the above-mentioned information, so that the inspection staff can accurately and quickly carry out the traveler's passport 3 examination.

However, in order to make the screening process of the passport 3 more accurate and quicker, one side of the passport 3 in which information is stored through the passport reader 10, that is, a photograph 4, is attached and the identity information is recorded. One side should be scanned accurately.

Therefore, the passport reader 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention can not only perform the scanning operation correctly but also perform the rescanning operation in a simplified manner when the scanning operation is not performed properly and the rescanning operation is required. (3) The process of verifying the traveler's identity information can be carried out accurately and quickly. Hereinafter, the configuration of the passport reader 10 having such a configuration will be described in detail.

Passport reader 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in detail in Figures 3 to 6, the case 20 as a housing, the information provided in the case 20 and displayed on the passport 3 A scanning unit 30 having a scanning window 31 for scanning, a cover portion 40 hinged to one edge of an upper end of the case 20 to cover or open the scanning window 31, and a cover The hinge coupling part 80 for hinge coupling the part 40 to the case 20 and the cover part 40 are coupled to the inside of the cover 40 to press a part of the passport 3 during the scanning operation by the scanning part 30. When the passport 3 is placed on the scanning unit 30 and the pressure fixing unit 50 to fix the vibrating reference frame of the passport 3 so that one surface of the passport 3 to be scanned is accurately placed on the scanning unit 30. It includes a passport frame 60 to be.

The case 20 of the present embodiment is a rectangular parallelepiped housing, and the scanning window 31 of the scanning unit 30 is provided on the upper surface of the case 20, but the outer surface and the case 20 of the scanning window 31 are provided. The upper surface of the) is provided to be almost one side, the cover portion 40 is coupled to the hinge fixed to one side edge portion of the case 20, the pressure fixing portion 50 is coupled to the relative rotation.

In addition, the case 20 has a redo button 70 for re-executing the scanning operation when the scanning is not performed properly, and a fingerprint reader (not shown) and a passport 3 for recognizing the fingerprint of the passport holder. A photographing camera (not shown) for photographing the real thing of a traveler may be mounted, which will be described later.

On the other hand, the cover part 40 not only protects the scanning window 31 by covering the scanning window 31 at normal time, but also maintains the reliability of the scanning operation by keeping the portion where the scanning operation proceeds darker than the outside during the scanning operation. It is responsible for improving.

In addition, the hinge coupling portion 80 hinges the cover portion 40 to the case 20 so that the cover portion 40 can rotate relative to the axis, thereby covering the scanning window or Make it open.

As shown in FIG. 4, the hinge coupling part 80 is provided on one side surface of the case 20, and a hinge pivot shaft 81, to which the cover part 40 is hinged, and a hinge pivot shaft 81 and a cover. Partly coupled to the portion 40 includes an elastic force generating member 83 for generating an elastic force when the cover portion 40 shields the scanning window 31.

Engaging holes for coupling the elastic force generating member 83 are formed at both ends of the hinge pivot shaft 81 and the both ends of the cover portion 40 which are in contact with each other, and the hinge pivot shaft 81 is centered according to the structure. You can rotate your opponent.

Although not shown, the elastic force generating member 83 includes a hinge body forming an outer appearance, a spring-shaped elastic member inserted into the hinge body, and a shaft coupled to the inner side of the elastic member. In addition, the fixed cam and the rotary cam is coupled to the front end of the shaft.

During this configuration, the hinge body is inserted into and coupled to the hinge pivot, and the shaft is coupled to the cover. Accordingly, when the cover part rotates, the shaft may rotate relative to the hinge body by the fixed cam and the rotating cam, and the elastic member constantly provides elastic force such that the cover part 40 scans the scanning window 31. It can provide a predetermined elastic force when shielding.

Accordingly, when the cover part 40 shields the scanning window 31, the pressing fixing part 50 may more firmly fix the passport 3 to the scanning window 31 by such elastic force.

As will be described in detail later, since the gravity itself of the pressure fixing part 50 also contributes to the pressing of the passport 3, in the present embodiment, the pressure fixing part 50 together with the elastic force of the hinge coupler 80 described above. By its own gravity, the passport 3 can be firmly fixed to the scanning window 31, so that a more accurate scanning operation can be executed. However, the scope of the present invention is not limited thereto, and it is obvious that the passport may be firmly fixed only by its own gravity of the pressure fixing part 50 without omitting the elastic force generating member 83.

The scanning part 30 is a part which directly scans the information displayed on the passport 3. 3 and 5, the scanning unit 31 corresponding to half the size of the passport 3 so as to scan the half attached to the photograph when the passport 3 is opened, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 5. In the case 20, a scan camera (not shown) is mounted to move along the plate surface direction of the scanning window 31 and directly scan the information in the passport 3.

Here, since the passport reader 10 is connected to the computer 1 described above, an image of one surface of the passport 3 scanned by the scanning camera can be displayed on the monitor 2 of the computer 1.

Scanning of the passport 3 is automatically performed when the passport 3 is placed in a predetermined position of the scanning window 31. That is, when the passport 3 is placed in the scanning window 31 without any manipulation, the scanning operation of the passport 3 is performed immediately, thus reducing the overall time required for the examination of the passport 3 as well as the screening staff. It can be convenient.

However, one side of the passport 3 must be accurately scanned during this process, for example, a portion of the passport 3 is spaced apart from the scanning window 31 of the scanning unit 30, or the passport 3 is fixed during the scanning operation. If the image is not shaken, the scanning may not be performed properly, and thus the correct screen may not be displayed on the monitor 2 of the computer 1.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, it includes a pressing fixing part 50 for fixing the passport 3 by pressing a portion of the passport 3 placed on the scanning unit 30.

As shown in detail in FIG. 5, the pressure fixing part 50 of the present embodiment is provided on the inner side of the cover part 40 and directly presses and fixes the passport 3 placed on the scanning window 31. 51, and the pressing body 51 is provided with a recessed groove formed in a curved surface that can be inserted into the human hand.

The pressing body 51 allows the passport 3 to be firmly fixed to the scanning window 31 of the scanning unit 30 by pressing one surface of the passport 3 in which the information is stored.

In the passport 3, as shown in the monitor 2 of FIG. 2, a photograph 4 is attached to the upper left end, and various identification information of the passport holder is displayed on the side of the photograph 4. In addition, since the important information of the passport holder is displayed and stored in a combination of numbers and letters in the lower portion 7 of the passport 3, this part should be in close contact with the scanning window 31 in particular compared to other parts.

Thus, as shown in FIG. 7, the pressurizing body 51 presses one surface of the passport 3 with a suitable and uniform pressing force so that the information displayed on one surface of the passport 3 is accurately displayed by the scanning unit 30. Can be scanned. In particular, the lower portion 7 of the passport 3, i.e., a combination of numbers and letters, can be accurately scanned by pressing the back side of the portion where the passport holder's information is stored, thus improving the reliability of the screening process. have.

In more detail, when there is no pressure fixing unit 50 according to the present embodiment, when scanning the passport after placing the passport, the scanning operation of the passport should be carried out while pressing the passport by hand. In a large case, bending may occur in the scanning window or damage may occur in a severe case. When the force for pressing the passport is weak, the passport may not be in close contact with the scanning window, thereby reducing the reliability of the scanning operation.

By the way, in the present embodiment, the passport 3 is pressed by an appropriate force by the gravity of the pressing body 51 of the pressure fixing part 50 and the elastic force of the hinge coupler 80 as described above. The scanning operation of (3) can be made accurately. In particular, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the lower end portion 7 of the passport 3, ie, the portion drawn into the innermost portion of the pressing body 51, is configured to press more precisely, thereby making the passport 3 more accurate. The important information of is encrypted with a combination of numbers and letters so that the stored inner part can be accurately scanned.

However, when the cover part 40 shields the scanning window 31, the bottom surface of the pressing body 51 maintains a slight distance from the scanning window 31. Here, the distance between the pressurized body 51 and the scanning window is smaller than the thickness of the passport 3 actually placed on the scanning window 31, and the examination staff covers the cover part to place the passport 3 on the scanning window 31. The passport 3 is pushed along the scanning window 31 of the passport 3 without opening 40. Of course, since there is a smaller gap than the thickness of the passport (3), when the passport (3) is pushed, the jury staff slightly lifts the cover portion 40 with the back of the hand, and after the passport (3) is released, the jury member pulls out the hand. The passport 3 is pressed by a suitable force by the weight of the cover portion 40 itself.

When the screening staff pushes the passport 3, the pressing body 51 has a handle groove in the pressing body 51 so that the inner part of the passport 3 can be drawn up to the inner part of the scanning window 31. Depression 57 is formed. The examination staff pushes the passport (3) inward after the palm (3) is folded into the back of the passport (3) in order to draw the passport (3) between the scanning window 31 and the pressurized body (51). Since it can be partially drawn into the handle groove 57, the examination staff can easily insert the passport (3) to the inner portion of the scanning window (31).

In addition, the handle groove 57 may allow the jury staff to apply a force directly to the cover portion 40 to which the pressure fixing portion 50 is coupled, and thus, the cover portion (ie, the cover portion) with respect to the scanning window 31 of the scanning portion 30. 40) allows easy hinge movement. That is, after putting the hand in the handle groove 57, the user can apply a force to move the hinge cover portion 40 coupled to the pressure fixing portion 50, accordingly check the state of the scanning window 31 If necessary, the cover portion 40 can be easily opened and the cover portion 40 can be easily shielded after checking the state.

In addition, as shown in Fig. 5, the press body 53 is provided with a screw coupling hole 55 formed through the thickness direction. Therefore, the screw 9 can be screwed to the inner surface of the cover portion 40 using the screw (9). However, in the present embodiment, the cover part 40 and the pressure fixing part 50 are manufactured separately for the convenience of manufacturing, and the pressure fixing part 50 is screwed to the cover part 40, but the manufacturing is possible. If it is natural that the pressure fixing part 50 and the cover part 40 may be manufactured integrally.

The pressure fixing part 50 having such a structure can be manufactured by injection molding a plastic material. Therefore, there is an advantage that not only the production is easy but also the cost required for production.

On the other hand, the passport frame portion 60, as shown in Figure 5, is provided in the 'b' shape along the circumferential direction of the scanning window 31, when the passport 3 is placed on the scanning window 31 passport 3 ) Should be placed in the correct position. That is, when the two corner portions of the passport 3 are in contact with the passport frame portion 60, the position of the passport 3 relative to the scanning window 31 is accurately captured, and then fixed by the pressure fixing part 50. After the scanning operation is performed, the scanning can be performed accurately.

However, since the size of the passport 3 is generally the same, the passport frame portion 60 may have a structure fixed to the case 20. For example, the passport 3 may also serve as the passport frame portion 60 for other sized passports. Passport frame portion 60 may be provided so as to be movable in the inner or outer direction.

On the other hand, the redo button 70 of the present embodiment, when the previously executed scanning operation is wrong, and re-execution of the scanning task is required, it is possible to re-execute the scanning task by only pressing.

In general, for example, when the scanning operation of the passport 3 does not proceed properly, the passport is removed from the passport reader and then reset, and then the rescanning operation is performed, because the scanning operation can only be executed again after this operation. .

However, the passport reader 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention does not need to remove the passport 3 in order to re-execute the scanning operation when the scanning operation is required again, and only by pressing the redo button 70. (3) the scanning work can be re-executed has the advantage that the audit staff can perform the scanning work conveniently.

On the other hand, although not shown, the passport reader 10 of the present embodiment includes an electronic chip (not shown) mounted on the passport 3, that is, an electronic chip receiver (not shown) for receiving information of an RFID chip, and a passport holder. It further includes a fingerprint reader (not shown) for recognizing a fingerprint and a photographing camera (not shown) for photographing a traveler's real. Here, the RFID chip refers to a chip that stores important information of a passport holder, for example, information necessary for identifying a person such as a photograph, a fingerprint, an iris, and the like.

After receiving the information of the RFID chip of the passport 3, the electronic chip receiver transmits the received information to the computer 1. Therefore, the information stored in the RFID chip of the passport 3 is transmitted to the computer 1, and based on the information, the auditor can execute the passport 3 examination.

Although not shown, the fingerprint reader is attached to the case 20. When the passport holder who submitted the passport 3 causes the fingerprint reader to recognize the fingerprint, the controller of the computer 1 compares the recognized fingerprint with the fingerprint information received from the electronic chip receiver and compares them with each other. After determining whether or not the result is displayed on the monitor 2, as shown in FIG. 2, the screening staff can accurately and easily examine the passport.

The photographing camera can be attached to the case 20 as well. When the real passport holder is photographed by the photographing camera, the photographed information is transmitted to the computer 1, and the control unit of the computer 1 receives the photographed information received and the photograph 4 information obtained by scanning the passport 3. And, by displaying the photo information received from the above-described electronic chip receiver on the monitor (2) so that the examination staff can accurately and easily examine the passport (3). However, when there is no photographing camera, the photo information on the passport 3 and the photo information received from the above-described electronic chip receiver are displayed on the monitor 2 as shown in FIG. Judging can be done.

Hereinafter, a method of operating the passport reader 10 having such a configuration will be described.

First, the judging staff in charge of judging passports (3) at airports, etc., receives passports (3) from travelers who are in the order of examination. The screening staff opens the corresponding passport 3 of the traveler and recognizes, on the passport reader 10, the surface on which the traveler's information is stored, that is, one side of the passport 3 with a photograph or the like attached thereto.

In more detail, the passport 3 is inserted along the plate surface of the scanning window 31 of the passport reader 10 so that the passport 3 is positioned between the scanning window 31 and the pressing body 51. . That is, by pushing the passport 3 into the spaced space between the pressing body 51 and the scanning window 31, the pressing body 51 can be fixed by pressing the passport (3). By this operation, the pressing body 51 can firmly press the inner portion of the surface of the passport 3 placed on the scanning window 31 as compared to the other portion, which is important stored in the inner portion of the passport 3 Information can be scanned accurately.

When the passport 3 enters the corresponding position in the scanning window 31, the scanning operation for the passport 3 is automatically executed. When the scanning operation is completed, the scanning information acquired by the scanning unit 30 is reviewed by the examination staff. Will appear on the monitor 2 of the computer 1.

In addition, the information stored in the electronic chip of the passport 3 is transmitted to the electronic chip receiver of the passport reader 10, the electronic chip receiver transmits the received information to the computer (1).

Then, the controller of the computer 1 compares the scanned information with the information transmitted by the electronic chip receiver to determine whether they are the same, and displays the result on the monitor 2 or the scanned information. Only the information received from the electronic chip is displayed on the monitor 2 so that the examination staff can perform the passport 3 inspection accurately and easily.

However, in order to improve the accuracy during this screening process, as described above, the fingerprint reader or the photographing camera of the passport reader 10 may be further used.

By this process, the accuracy of the passport (3) screening can be improved, and thus, it is possible to accurately identify a person who is prohibited from entering or leaving the country or an unidentified person, thereby preventing any accident.

As such, according to the present exemplary embodiment, the scanning operation of the passport 3 may be accurately performed by the pressure fixing part 50 holding the passport 3 firmly when scanning the information stored in the passport 3. As a result, the examination staff can accurately identify whether the person who submitted the passport (3) and the person who is actually stored in the passport (3) has the advantage of accurately performing the passport (3) examination.

In addition, when the scanning operation is to be redone, there is an effect that the scanning operation can be easily executed by simply pressing the redo button 70.

As described above, the present invention is not limited to the described embodiments, and various modifications and changes can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, which will be apparent to those skilled in the art.
