Description

  The present invention relates to an ID card on which the wearer's ID information is displayed, a method and a program for creating such an ID card, and a mount for creating an ID card.

  An ID card that is worn by a person and displays ID information of the wearer is widely used. These ID cards usually have (1) a safety pin attached to the back of the plate so that it can be attached to clothing, and (2) a single plate accommodated in a transparent holder, There are things that can be used to attach to clothes, or straps that can be worn with the straps lowered from the neck. Also, (3) there is a type in which a long and narrow plate is inserted into a breast pocket and ID information is displayed on a portion exposed at the upper part of the breast pocket.

  The type (1) is frequently used when an ID card is used exclusively for name tags. The type (2) is convenient when the ID card is used as a computer-readable storage medium in addition to the use as a name tag because the ID card can be easily taken out from the transparent holder. In the case of (3) above, the ID card can be simply completed by sticking a business card on the top of the ID card at the time of the exhibition.

  The best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

[First Embodiment]
1A and 1B are views showing the front and back surfaces of an ID card according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

  That is, the ID card 10 according to the present embodiment is provided with an ID display area 16 on which at least one surface, here the surface, of the plate 12 displays a photographic image, a name and an affiliation as ID information 14, and the ID display area. A mounting through-hole 18 for fitting with an ID card mounting tool (not shown) is provided above 16.

  In this case, the mounting through-hole 18 is formed as a single hole provided at the upper center of the ID card 10. And this through-hole 18 for mounting | wearing has the latching | locking part 20 of the shape dented upwards by which the said ID card 10 is latched by the said ID card mounting tool when the said ID card 10 is mounted | worn. Here, as shown in FIG. 1 (B), when the center of gravity of the ID card 10 is P and the position of the locking portion 20 having an upwardly recessed shape is Q, the straight line connecting these Q and P is suspended. Line 22 is obtained. The catenary line 22 and the ID information display direction D in the ID display area 16 (the direction in which the display does not tilt or lie sideways but look right) are parallel to each other.

  The material of the plate 12 is, for example, paper or plastic.

  As described above, the ID card 10 according to the present embodiment is provided with the mounting through-hole 18 that fits the ID card mounting tool in the upper part of the ID display area 16, and therefore requires a holder for storing the ID card 10. Without doing so, the ID card 10 can be directly attached to the ID card mounting tool. Moreover, since the ID card 10 removed from the ID card mounting tool has the same size as a normal credit card or the like, it can be stored in the card holder as it is when not in use.

  Examples of the ID card mounting tool include a clip and a strap. In many cases, a clip or strap of a general-purpose product is sufficient, and even when a dedicated product is used, it has a longer life than a holder. Thus, the waste of stocking the holder for the ID card can be saved. In addition, since the ID card 10 is held by the mounting through-hole 18, the probability that the ID card will drop is lower than that of pinching.

  Further, since the mounting through hole 18 is formed as a single hole provided at the upper center of the ID card 10, the ID card mounting tool fitted to the mounting through hole 18 covers the ID display region 16. Without being balanced, the ID card 10 can be attached to the ID card mounting tool.

  Further, since the mounting through hole 18 is provided with a locking portion 20 having an upwardly recessed shape that locks the ID card 10 to the ID card mounting tool when the ID card 10 is mounted. The positional relationship between the ID card 10 and the ID card mounting tool is stabilized.

  Moreover, since the structure of the ID card is simple, the necessity of introducing a dedicated device for creating an ID card is low. In many cases, a standard personal computer / printer combination is sufficient in hardware.

Hereinafter, a method for creating such an ID card 10 will be described.
That is, in this embodiment, the ID information 14 can be printed at a predetermined position of at least one card-sized plate 12 as shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B to separate the plate 12. A mount 24 that is a flat medium is used. 2A shows a postcard-size mount 24, and FIG. 2B shows a B5-size mount 24. FIG.

  The material of the mount 24 is, for example, paper or plastic, like the plate 12 of the ID card 10, and a perforation 26 is provided in accordance with the card size plate 12, so that the plate 12 can be easily separated. It has become. Of course, when the mount 24 is thin, the perforations 26 may or may not be present. Further, a cut line may be displayed instead of the perforation 24. In that case, the cut line may be printed by a computer, or may be printed on the mount 24 in advance.

  Further, the mounting through-hole 18 for fitting with the ID card mounting tool is previously opened above the position where the ID information 14 is to be printed on the card-sized sheet. Of course, the mounting through-hole 18 may be treated with a perforation instead of being provided in advance.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 3, the ID card 10 is created using a standard personal computer (PC) 28 and a printer 30. That is, the mount 24 is set in the printer 30 and the ID information 14 necessary as an ID card is printed on the ID display area 16 of each plate 12 using the PC 28 as shown in FIG. 4A (step S10). . Then, the ID card 10 is completed by separating the plate 12 printed with the ID information from the mount 24 (step S12).

  FIG. 4B is a diagram showing a flowchart of an ID card creation program executed by the PC 28 for performing the process of step S10.

  That is, first, identification information for specifying a person to be created of the ID card 10 is input to the computer (step S20). Here, the identification information is an employee number or a member number registered in a database such as an employee database or a member database. Of course, the ID information may be a photographic image or a name / affiliation.

  Next, the database is searched with the input identification information, and information relating to the target person is read (step S22), and the read information relating to the target person is read from a single mount 24 into a plurality of ID cards. The data is edited into a predetermined format so that 10 can be taken (step S24). The obtained print image is displayed on the screen of the PC 28 (step S26), and a determination input from the operator is accepted (step S28).

  Here, when there is no input of an OK instruction by a predetermined operation from the operator (step S30), a correction instruction input from the operator is received (step S32), and the format edited in step S24 is accordingly received. It corrects (step S34) and returns to step S26.

  Thus, if an OK instruction is input (step S30), printing is performed on the mount 24 by the printer 30 (step S36).

  In this way, when information for specifying the target person information is input to the PC 28, information on the target person is printed on the mount 24 using the information on the database, and a portion (plate 12) used from the mount 24 for the ID card 10 is used. ) Are used separately. In this way, the ID card 10 can be created easily using general-purpose equipment and database information.

[Second Embodiment]
In the ID card 10 according to the second embodiment of the present invention, the plate 12 is composed of a plate base material and an ID display sheet on which the ID information arranged on the plate base material is displayed. It is.

  That is, in the first embodiment, the ID card 10 is created by printing the ID information 14 on the plate 12 in which the mounting through-holes 18 are previously opened and separating them from the mount 24. On the other hand, in the second embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, after printing the ID information, the part of the ID display sheet 32 is separated from the mount 24, and the plate base provided with the mounting through holes 18 is provided. The ID card 10 is created by pasting it on the material 34.

  In this way, if a material having sufficient hardness and thickness is selected for the plate base material 34, the strength of the entire ID card is sufficient even if the ID display sheet 32 is thin. Therefore, the ID display sheet 32 can also be created by printing on paper or a resin sheet with a normal printer. Therefore, the necessity for introducing dedicated equipment is further reduced.

  In particular, if the ID display sheet 32 is pasted on the plate base material 34, the ID card 10 can be easily created.

  The mount 24 has a structure in which an ID display sheet 32 is attached to the release paper with an adhesive, and the ID display sheet 32 is separated from the mount 24 by cutting (along perforations and cut lines). Just do it. Alternatively, the ID display sheet 32 may be formed as a seal and peeled off from the mount 24.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 6, a transparent cover sheet 36 is attached to the plate base material 34, and the ID display sheet 32 separated from the mount 24 is sandwiched between the plate base material 34 and the transparent cover sheet 36. The card 10 may be created.

  In this way, the ID display sheet 32 is protected from dirt and the like by covering the ID display sheet 32 with the transparent cover sheet 36 covering at least the portion corresponding to the ID information 14 and covering the ID display sheet 32. It becomes possible.

  In this case, an opaque frame region 38 may be formed around the transparent cover sheet 36 as shown in FIG. By making the edge of the ID display sheet 32 invisible by such an opaque frame region 38, it is not necessary to prepare the edge of the ID display sheet 32 neatly. For example, when the ID display sheet 32 is cut at the perforation, the cut-out portion is unsightly, but it is hidden by the opaque frame region 38 of the transparent cover sheet 36, so this is not a problem.

[Third Embodiment]
It is desirable that the plate 12 of the ID card 10 has a certain level of strength. For example, if the plate is formed by folding and stacking one sheet, a strong plate can be generated even from a thin sheet. For this reason, the ID card 10 having the required strength can be produced even with a sheet having a thickness within the range that the printer 30 can handle. Of course, if the number of times of folding is increased, the strength increases accordingly.

  As a typical example of folding and overlapping, as shown in FIG. 8, there are cases where the sheet 40 is folded in half from the center line of the sheet 40 separated from the mount 24. Since only two folds are made from the center line, the operation is simple and the strength of the entire plate is constant.

  In order to further increase the strength, a reinforcing plate 42 may be sandwiched between the folded sheets 40 as shown in FIG. As the reinforcing plate 42, cardboard or plastic is suitable.

  8 and 9, the same ID information 14 is displayed on the front and back of the ID card 10. However, the present invention is not limited to this.

  Further, in view of the point that a force is applied to the periphery of the mounting through hole 18 when bending and overlapping, it is also preferable to reinforce this part as shown in FIG. For this purpose, at least the periphery of the mounting through hole 18 is formed of a plurality of sheets.

[Fourth Embodiment]
11A and 11B are a side view and a front view of the ID card 10 according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention.

  In the ID card 10 according to the present embodiment, the mounting through hole 18 has a horizontally long shape, and the locking portion 20 is provided at one end of the mounting through hole 18. However, in this case, the position of the locking portion 20 needs to be arranged at the center of the center of gravity so that the ID card 10 does not tilt left and right during normal mounting.

  According to such an ID card 10, in the case of a hook-type ID card mounting tool 44 as shown in the figure, by rotating the ID card 10 about 90 degrees as shown in FIG. The ID card 10 can be easily removed from the ID card mounting tool 44.

  For example, in the ID card 10 provided with the two-dimensional code 46, the ID card 10 is frequently removed from the ID card mounting tool 44 because the machine needs to read the two-dimensional code 46, but according to the present embodiment, Since the ID card 10 can be easily removed from the ID card mounting tool 44, the troublesomeness of removal / mounting can be reduced.

  Although the present invention has been described above based on the embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications and applications are naturally possible within the scope of the gist of the present invention.
