Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

[Field of Industrial Application] The present invention mainly provides various certificates such as a resident's card and a seal stamp certificate by the applicant directly selecting necessary documents without going through the office of the government office. Certificate automatic issue machine that can issue certificates automatically.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, for example, when obtaining certificates such as a resident's card and a seal stamp certificate through a counter, the applicant himself went to the government office and first filled in the application form with his address and name without omission. Submit to the window above. And the person in charge of the window is
Based on the application form, it was necessary to enter the necessary items from the input section of the document creation system and create the corresponding document, then press the official seal, stop it with a stapler, and hand it to the applicant in exchange for the fee .

On the other hand, recently, an automatic certificate issuing machine has been installed near the office window, and when the office is crowded or when the office is closed on Sundays etc., the office of the office is closed. The certificate can be automatically obtained without any intervention. With such an automatic certificate issuing machine, the required documents are obtained using, for example, an individual identification card (ID card), so that the applicant does not have to fill in the application form, and the person in charge of the counter It has the advantage of being able to obtain the documents in a relatively short time compared to the case where the documents are processed and the advantage of being able to obtain the certificate even when the office is closed.

[0004]

However, in the conventional automatic issuing machine, the data necessary for issuing the certificate are stored in the database of the host computer, so if the automatic issuing machine is not connected to the host computer, It is not possible to identify the data of or to output the data of certificates. Therefore, when the host computer cannot be used due to a failure or data update, or when the line between the host computer and the automatic issuing machine is broken, the automatic issuing machine cannot be used.

Furthermore, in order to operate the automatic issuing machine even at one place, it is necessary to operate the host computer first. If you put the certificate data in the automatic delivery machine here, the above problem will be solved to some extent, but in that case, each automatic delivery machine requires a storage device for storing a large database, and the system is It has to be large and expensive. In addition, a large space for that must be taken.

To solve the above problems, for example, instead of a magnetic card as an individual card, an IC card which is excellent in security is used, and the IC card has a certificate such as an address, a name, a personal identification number, and resident's card data. By storing the data, the certificate issuing operation can be performed by the automatic issuing machine alone, and therefore the device itself does not have to be large-scaled. However, even in that case, if the resolution of the seal imprint in the seal stamp registration certificate differs for each local government, the user is a local government in another area (not connected to the host computer of the local government where the user himself / herself lives). It is impossible to receive the desired seal registration certificate with the automatic issuing machine installed in.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and a user can issue a desired seal registration certificate even in an automatic issuing machine installed in a local government outside the area where the user lives. The purpose is to provide a certificate automatic issuing machine that can receive the certificate.

Normally, the automatic certificate issuing machine 1 is controlled by the CPU 13 so that, for a person who uses the automatic certificate issuing machine 1, for example, a screen in a mode of "touch the screen" is displayed together with a still image. It is displayed on the CRT display device 3 (step 1. Hereinafter, the step is simply referred to as S). When the user looks at this display screen and touches the touch panel 4, a card insertion screen is displayed on the CRT display device 3, and the certificate issuing mode in the automatic issuing machine starts.

When the applicant inserts the IC card 40 into the card insertion slot 2a of the automatic certificate issuing machine 1 (S2), the CPU 13 which constantly monitors the insertion of the IC card 40 detects the insertion of the IC card 40. Then, the IC card reader 2 is instructed to read the data. IC card reader 2
Reads the data stored in the IC card 40 and transfers the data to the CPU 13. CPU 13
It is confirmed whether or not the inserted IC card 40 is a card for the automatic certificate issuing machine 1 (S3).

If this card is not the card for the automatic certificate issuing machine 1 (S3: NO), the card insertion slot 2a is used for I.
The C card 40 is ejected (S4) and, to that effect, C
It is displayed on the RT display device 3 (S5).

On the other hand, if the inserted IC card 40 is the card for the automatic certificate issuing machine 1 (S3: YES), C
The PU 13 causes the CRT display device 3 to display a personal identification number input screen prompting the user to input a personal identification number. Also, the vocalization device 1
A signal is also sent to 6, for example, saying "Please enter your PIN" (S6).

Then, it is judged whether or not the user has pressed the touch panel 4 to input the personal identification number (S
7) If it is input, the CPU 13 checks whether the personal identification number input by the user matches the user ID data of the IC card 40 inserted in the IC card reader 2 (S8). If the personal identification number entered by the applicant is incorrect as compared with the user ID data of the IC card 40 (S9: NO), the fact is transmitted to the CPU 13 and the IC card 40 is ejected from the card insertion slot 2a ( Along with S4, the fact is displayed on the CRT display device 3 (S
5).

The personal identification number entered by the user is shown in FIG.
If it matches the user ID data stored in the personal identification number storage unit 31 in the IC chip 41 of the IC card 40 shown in (a) (S9: YES), the fact is transmitted to the CPU 13. Then, the CPU 13 performs certificate selection guidance processing (S10). In this guidance process, for example, as shown in FIG. 5, the name of a certificate that can be handled is displayed on the CRT display device 3, and a signal is also sent to the utterance device 16 to, for example, "select a required certificate. Please say ".

The user can select a required menu by touching the portion of the touch panel 4 where the desired menu is displayed. In the CPU 13,
It is judged whether or not the selection input of this menu is made (S
11) When the selection input is made (S11: YES), the data required for the selection document is read from the IC chip 41 in the IC card 40.

Examples of menus that can be selected in S11 include a resident's card and a seal registration certificate as shown in the selection display screen shown in FIG.

In this embodiment, the case where a seal registration certificate is selected will be described below. When the selection input is made (S11: YES), the CPU 13 stores in the IC card 40 the data necessary for issuing the seal registration certificate, for example, the user's address, name, sex, date of birth, seal imprint data and the like. IC
After reading from the chip 41, a copy number selection guidance process is performed (S12). In the copy selection guidance process, a screen display prompting the user to select the number of copies is displayed on the CRT display device 3 and a signal is also sent to the voicing device 16 so that, for example, "choose the required number of copies".

When the number of copies is input (S1
3: YES), the CPU 13 calculates the fee for the certificate selected by the user, and displays a screen display prompting the user to pay the fee on the CRT display device 3 (S14). In addition, a signal is also sent to the voicing device 16 to utter, for example, "The fee is XX yen. Please pay." Here, the user inputs a fee (S15: YES). If the charge is a coin, it is inserted from the coin insertion slot 5a and enters the coin sorting and collecting device 5. If the bill is a bill, it is inserted from the bill insertion slot 6a and enters the bill collecting device 6. If necessary at this time, change money is used to sort and collect coins 5
Are discharged from the discharge port 8. Also,
The receipt is printed by the journal printer 12 and discharged from the take-out port 8.

When confirming the prescribed fee collection, the CPU 13 transmits a command to the IC card reader 2 to eject the IC card 40 from the card insertion slot 2a (S16). Then, when it is detected that the IC card is taken out, a screen notifying that the certificate is being created is displayed on the CRT display device 3. Also, send a signal to the vocalization device 16,
For example, the user is instructed to say "I am currently creating a certificate, please wait" (S17).

At the same time, the CPU 13 makes the IC
The user ID data read from the resident information storage unit 41 stored in the IC chip 41 in the card 40 and the seal imprint data that is the data for the seal registration certificate selected as described above are extracted. This is effective, for example, to leave behind data such as who issued what certificate, and this data is stored in the HDD 17
Can be stored in.

Then, the CPU 13 outputs the data necessary for creating the above-mentioned seal registration certificate to the laser printer 11.
To print (S18). When printing, for example, seal imprint data, official seal data, and chief's name data among these data, in S17, the CPU 13 causes the laser printer 11 of the automatic certificate issuing machine 1 to print the print density as shown in the flowchart of FIG. From the identification information stored in the hard disk 17 (S31). That is,
If it is 240 dpi (S32: YES), I
The imprint data of 240 dpi, the official seal data, and the chief's name data in the plurality of print densities stored in the IC chip 41 of the C card 40 are read (S33), developed in the print page memory and executed (S40). ).
If the print density is not 240 dpi (S32: N
O), and then determine whether it is 300 dpi (S3
4). If it is 300 dpi (S34: YE
S), reading 300 dpi seal imprint data, official seal data, and chief's name data out of a plurality of print densities stored in the IC chip 41 (S35), hereinafter 400 dpi, 4
The same process is performed for 80 dpi (S36 to S3).
9). After that, the imprint data, the official seal data, and the chief's name data are expanded in the printing page memory and printing is executed (S40). If the print density of the laser printer 11 is neither 240, 300, 400, or 480 dpi (S38: NO), the imprint data, the official seal data, and the chief's name data cannot be printed correctly. CR that registration certificate cannot be issued
After displaying it on the T display device 3 and returning the fee (S4
1) Return to the start screen.

Returning to FIG. 6 again, the certificate printed by the laser printer 11 is conveyed, the end portion is bound by the stapler 14, and the certificate is ejected from the certificate ejection port 7 by the imprinting machine 15. (S19). In addition, a signal is also sent to the voicing device 16 to utter, for example, "A certificate has been made. Please take it. Be careful not to forget the receipt and card."

After the processing of S18, it is detected whether the certificate presented to the certificate outlet 7 is taken by the applicant (S20), and if the certificate is taken (S20:
(YES), the end screen is displayed, and a signal is sent to the voicing device 16 to utter the end guidance, for example, "Thank you." (S21). After a while, the same screen as START, for example, "Please touch the screen" mode screen, CRT with still images
The image is displayed on the display device 3 (S1) and the above operation is repeated.

When it is detected that the certificate delivered to the certificate outlet 7 is not taken by the applicant even after the lapse of a predetermined time (S20: NO), the CPU 13 sends a signal to the voicing device 16. Is sent and a message such as "Please take the certificate" is output again to prompt the applicant to take the certificate early (S22).

If a certificate is not obtained even after a lapse of a predetermined time from then, the certificate automatic issuing machine 1 internally collects the certificate provided to the certificate outlet 7 (S2).
3) Store in the collection tray.

Incidentally, the remote operation panel 33 is provided in the hand of the person in charge, and the user can call the call button 2
When the user presses 2, or when the automatic certificate issuing machine 1 runs out of printing paper, the person in charge is notified of them by a lamp or a chime.

In this embodiment, 240 dpi, 30
Although the imprint data of four kinds of print densities of 0 dpi, 400 dpi, and 480 dpi are stored, the present invention is not limited to these, and imprint data of other print densities may be stored. By doing this, even if the user intends to receive the seal registration certificate with a certificate automatic issuing machine of a local public entity outside the area where he / she lives, even if the Even if the printing density of the laser printer is different from the printing density of the laser printer in the certificate automatic issuing machine of the local government in which the user lives, it is possible to receive the seal registration certificate with the certification ability. This is not limited to the issuance of the seal registration certificate, but can be applied to other types of certificates in which the chief name of a local government is printed by compressing and storing the chief name data.

Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the contents of the user ID data of the IC card 40 and the explanation method by voice are changed so as to be different from the above embodiment without being restricted to this embodiment. Of course it is possible.

When the data such as the address registered in the IC card 40 is changed, the IC card 40 used at the municipal office is submitted again to update the data. It can be used again by rewriting the data in the chip 41.
