(2. Processing of Issuing System 1)
Next, processing of the issuing system 1 will be described. In this embodiment, after issuing an ID card (medium) with a face image to the user, an examination ticket (new medium) is issued to the user. An example of reuse will be explained.

(2-1. Verification of authenticity of identification card)
In this embodiment, when an ID card is issued, the authenticity of the user's identification card is to be determined in advance in order to ensure reliability. FIG. 9 is a flow chart showing the procedure for determining the authenticity of a personal identification card. The control unit 51 of the user terminal 5 executes S101, S105 to S106, and S111 in FIG. Other processes are executed by the control unit 31 of the server 3 .

The user terminal 5 transmits the image of the identification card to the server 3 (S101). The server 3 receives the image (S102).

FIG. 10 is a diagram showing an outline of the personal identification card 10, and schematically shows an example of the face of the personal identification card 10. As shown in FIG. The personal identification card 10 is a medium that can identify a user, and includes, but is not limited to, a driver's license, my number card, residence card, special permanent resident card, and the like.

The personal identification card 10 contains character information such as the user's name 12, date of birth 13, address 14, issue date 15 of the personal identification card 10, issue number 16, expiration date 17, etc., and a face image 18 of the user. It is printed at a predetermined position on the base material 11 .

FIG. 11 is an example of an input screen for an image 50 of the identification card 10 (hereinafter referred to as an identification card image). In this example, when the personal identification card image 50 is input to the input area 502 by a drag operation or the like, the personal identification card image 50 is transmitted from the user terminal 5 to the server 3 .

The server 3 determines the authenticity of the personal identification card 10 from the personal identification card image 50 (S103).

Although the method of authenticity determination is not particularly limited, for example, OCR (Optical
Character Recognition) processing is performed, and it is determined whether or not there is a contradiction in the obtained character information, and if there is a contradiction, the identity verification card 10 is false, and if there is no contradiction, the identity verification card 10 is true. can be done.

There are various contradictions in the character information, but as an example, there is a predetermined relationship defined by law between the date of birth 13 and the expiration date 17, and when viewed from this relationship, the There are cases where there is a conflict between the date of birth 13 and the expiration date 17 given.

For example, if the expiration date 17 of the identity verification card 10 is legally one month after the date of birth 13, the date of birth 13 of the identity verification card 10 is forged and the expiration date is changed. If the month and day at 17 are missing one month after the month and day at birth 13, it is determined that there is a conflict.

This is a case where there is a contradiction between the content of character information and the content of another character information, but there are also cases where the content of character information itself is inconsistent. For example, if the date of birth 13 obtained from the personal identification image 50 is an impossible date, such as "Showa 70", "December", or "April 31st", there is a contradiction in the content. determined to be present.

The authenticity determination method is not limited to the method using the character information obtained by the OCR process as described above. (see, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2011-34535).

When the server 3 determines that the personal identification card 10 is false in the above authenticity determination (S103; NO), the server 3 transmits to the user terminal 5 that the personal identification card 10 is fake (S104). The user terminal 5 receives the fact that the identification card 10 is fake (S105), displays it on the display unit 53 (S106), and ends the process.

On the other hand, when the server 3 determines that the identity verification card 10 is true (S103; YES), the server 3 cuts out the face image 18 from the identity verification card image 50, and calculates the feature amount 140 of the face image 18 (S107).

Next, the server 3 newly creates ID card issue data 100 and records it in the storage unit 32 (S108).

In S108, a new unique ID 110 is generated, and the characteristic amount 140 and the number of times of use 150 calculated in S107 are linked to the unique ID 110 and recorded as the issued data 100. FIG. Note that the number of times of use 150 records the maximum number of times of use (for example, 3 times) as an initial value.

After that, the server 3 generates a code (S109) and transmits it to the user terminal 5 (S110). The user terminal 5 receives the code (S111) and terminates the process.

FIG. 12 is an example of code 300 . The code 300 is, for example, the unique ID 110 coded as a two-dimensional code, and is displayed on the user terminal 5 and read by the issuing device 2 as shown in FIG.

(2-2. Issuance of ID card)
13 to 15 are flowcharts showing procedures for issuing a medium such as an ID card. to S314, and S401 to S402 and S406 to S408 in FIG. Other processes are executed by the control unit 31 of the server 3 .

In this embodiment, the user who issues the ID card goes to the issuing device 2 on the street and enters the box of the issuing device 2 . When the sensor 29 detects the user, the issuing device 2 causes the display unit 21 to display the top screen.

FIG. 16(a) is an example of the top screen. In this embodiment, a service can be selected on the top screen, and various services including the ID photo service are selectably displayed by a button 211 . Issuance of an ID card and an examination ticket is one of the services, and here, the user selects a button 211 for issuing an ID card by operating the touch panel of the display section 21 .

When issuing an ID card is selected, the issuing device 2 displays guidance on the display section 21 for holding the code 300 over the reading section 27 . Following the guidance, the user causes the user terminal 5 to display the code 300 as shown in FIG. When the code 300 is read by the reading unit 27 (S201 in FIG. 13), the issuing device 2 decodes the code 300 to acquire the unique ID 110 and transmits it to the server 3 (S202).

When the server 3 receives the unique ID 110 (S203), it determines whether or not there is a face image 130 corresponding to the unique ID 110 (S204). Here, the user has not taken a face image 130 yet, and the face image 130 corresponding to the unique ID 110 does not yet exist (S204; NO). In this case, the server 3 notifies the issuing device 2 that there is no face image 130 (S205).

When the issuing device 2 receives that there is no facial image 130 (S206), it displays guidance for shooting the user's facial image 130 on the display unit 21, and shoots the user's facial image 130 (S207). .

After photographing the face image 130 of the user, the issuing device 2 displays an input screen for the application information 120 on the display unit 21 . FIG. 16(b) is an example of an input screen for the application information 120 displayed on the display unit 21, and the user inputs personal information such as name, age, sex, and address as the application information 120 in the respective input areas 212. do.

When the issuing device 2 receives the input of the application information 120 (S208), the face image 130 captured in S207 is recorded in the issuing data 100 in association with the application information 120, the number of times of use 150, the shooting date 160, and the like. A request to record the image 130 is sent to the server 3 (S209). The recording request includes the face image 130 photographed in S207, its photographing date 160, and the application information 120 (hereinafter referred to as the face image 130, etc.) and the unique ID 110 entered in S208.

When the server 3 receives the recording request including the face image 130 and the unique ID 110 (S210), the face image 130 matches the face image 18 of the identity verification image 50 received in S102 (see FIG. 9). or not (biometric authentication). Here, the feature amount of the face image 130 received in S210 is calculated (S211), and it is determined whether or not it matches the feature amount 140 of the issued data 100 corresponding to the unique ID 110 received in S210 (S212).

If the feature amounts do not match (S212; NO), the server 3 determines that the identity of the user could not be verified, and transmits to the issuing device 2 a message indicating that the ID card cannot be issued (S213). The issuing device 2 receives the fact that the issue is not possible (S214), displays it on the display unit 21 (S215), and ends the process.

If the feature amounts match (S212; YES), the server 3 assumes that the identity of the user has been verified, and records the face image 130 and the like received in S210 in the issued data 100 corresponding to the unique ID 110 received in S210 (S216). ). Then, the issuing data for issuing the ID card is transmitted to the issuing device 2 (S217). The data for issuance includes, for example, a two-dimensional code that encodes the unique ID 110, an ID card template including text and images, and the like.

When the issuing device 2 receives the issuing data (S218), it issues an ID card (medium) (S219).

FIG. 17(a) is an example of an ID card 200. FIG. The ID card 200 is the face image 130 photographed in S207, the user's name 210, the two-dimensional code 220, a template containing text and images, and the like printed out on paper by the printer 25. FIG. The user's name 210 is text information displayed on the ID card 200 in the application information 120 entered in S208.

Note that the ID card 200 is not limited to being printed on paper. For example, as shown in FIG. 17B, the same data as above may be output to the user terminal 5 as a digital ID certificate (electronic medium) 200' and displayed on the user terminal 5. FIG.

(2-3. Issuance of admission ticket)
When the user reuses the face image 130 stored in the storage unit 32 of the server 3 according to the above procedure when issuing a new medium, the user goes to the issuing device 2 with the code 300 . Here, we assume that an examination admission ticket is issued as a new medium, and the procedure for issuing an examination admission ticket will be explained below.

The procedure for issuing the examination admission ticket is also the same as that described in FIG. 13 at first. The code 300 is read and the processing of S202-S203 is performed.

Here, the user has already photographed the face image 130, issued the ID card 200, and has recorded the issued data 100 in the server 3. It is determined that the image 130 exists (S204; YES).

In this case, the server 3 refers to the issued data 100 corresponding to the unique ID 110 to determine whether the face image 130 is within the expiration date from the shooting date 160 (that is, whether the current date and time is within the expiration date). (S301, S302 in FIG. 14). The expiration date is set in advance, for example, 6 months from the shooting date 160.

If the face image 130 is within the validity period from the photographing date 160 and the number of times of use 150 of the face image 130 is 1 or more (S301; YES, S302; YES), the server 3 to the issuing device 2 (S303).

When the issuing device 2 receives the face image 130 (S304), the face image 130 can be used to issue an examination slip to the user.

Here, the issuing device 2 first displays the input screen of the application information 120 (see FIG. 16B) on the display unit 21 to accept the input of the application information 120 (S401 in FIG. 15), the application information 120 and the face The image 130 is transmitted to the server 3 (S402).

When the server 3 receives the application information 120 and the face image 130 (S403), the server 3 newly creates the issuance data 100 of the examination slip (S404).

In S404, a new unique ID 110 is generated, and the application information 120 and face image 130 received in S403, and the characteristic amount 140 of the ID card 200 issue data 100 are linked to the unique ID 110 and recorded as the examination slip issue data 100. do. In this example, the face image 130 of the issuance data 100 of the examination slip is not subject to reuse, and the number of times it can be used 150 and the shooting date 160 are not recorded.

The server 3 then transmits the issuing data for issuing the examination admission ticket to the issuing device 2 (S405). The data for issuance includes, for example, a two-dimensional code that encodes the unique ID 110, a template of an examination slip including text and images, and the like.

When the issuing device 2 receives the issuing data (S406), it issues an examination slip (medium) (S407).

FIG. 17(c) is an example of an examination slip 250. FIG. The examination slip 250 is the face image 130 received in S304 (see FIG. 14), the user's name 260, the two-dimensional code 270, a template containing text and images, etc., printed out on paper by the printer 25 . The user's name 260 is text information to be displayed on the examination slip 250 in the application information 120 entered in S401.

When issuing the examination slip 250 using the face image 130 of the ID card 200 in this manner, the issuing device 2 transmits a message to that effect to the server 3 (S408). When the server 3 receives this (S409), it decrements the usable count 150 of the issue data 100 of the ID card 200 by 1 (S410), and ends the process.

Returning to the description of the flow in FIG. In the above determinations of S301 and S302, if the face image 130 is not within the expiration date from the photographing date 160, or if the usable count 150 of the face image 130 is 0 (S301; NO, or S302; NO ), the server 3 transmits to the issuing device 2 that the face image 130 cannot be used (S305), and the issuing device 2 receives this (S306). In this case, since the issuing device 2 cannot issue the examination slip 250 including the face image 130, instead, guidance for photographing the user's face image is displayed on the display unit 21, and the user's face image is displayed. Photographing is performed (S307).

After that, the examination ticket 250 is issued to the user by the processing of S308 to S314. The processing of S308 to S314 is almost the same as the processing of S401 to S407 in FIG. 15, respectively. However, the face image photographed in S307 is used as the face image of the examination slip 250, and the server 3 records the face image photographed in S307 as the face image 130 of the issue data 100 of the examination slip 250.

Note that in this embodiment, the face image 130 whose expiration date from the photographing date 160 has passed and the face image 130 whose usable count 150 has become 0 are deleted after a certain period of time has passed, and the amount of data stored in the server 3 is reduced. I am trying to save money.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the highly reliable face image 130 obtained by authenticating and verifying the identity of the personal identification card 10 at the time of issuing the ID card 200 is reused, and the examination slip 250, which is a new medium, is reused. can be issued. Moreover, the number of times of use 150 is set for the face image 130 to manage the reuse of the face image 130 according to the number of times of use 150, and when the number of times of use 150 is 0, an examination slip 250 including the face image 130 is issued. By disabling, it is possible to set appropriate restrictions on the reuse of the face image 130 and prevent the user from reusing the face image 130 without restriction.

Further, in this embodiment, by using a conventional ID photo machine installed on the street or the like as the issuing device 2, high spreadability can be realized.

Further, in the present embodiment, by setting an expiration date from the shooting date 160 on the face image 130, reuse of the face image 130 whose expiration date has passed can be restricted.

However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, in the present embodiment, the reuse of the face image 130 is restricted by the number of times of use 150 and the expiration date from the shooting date 160, but it is also possible to limit the reuse of the face image 130 only by the number of times of use 150. be.

Further, in this embodiment, when the face image 130 is within the expiration date but the number of times of use 150 is 0 (S301; YES, S302; NO in FIG. 14), reuse of the face image 130 is prohibited. , the number of times of use 150 may be increased by a certain number to allow additional use.

In this case, as shown in FIG. 18A, the display unit 21 of the issuing device 2 displays a selection screen for selecting whether to increase the number of times of use 150 by charging and additionally use the face image 130. . This selection screen displays a face image 130, a "Yes" button 215 for selecting additional use of the face image 130, and a "No" button 216 for selecting not to additionally use the face image 130. be done.

When the "yes" button 215 is selected and billing is performed, the number of times the issued data 100 can be used 150 is increased by a certain number, and the issuing device 2 uses the face image 130 to issue the examination slip 250 through the processing from S401 onwards. issue. If the "No" button 216 is selected, the process proceeds from S307 onwards.

Even if the face image 130 is not within the expiration date (S301 in FIG. 14; NO), additional use of the face image 130 may be allowed by charging. In this case, the display unit 21 of the issuing device 2 displays a selection screen for selecting whether to additionally use the face image 130 by billing as shown in FIG. 18(b).

This selection screen also displays the face image 130, a "Yes" button 217 for selecting additional use of the face image 130, and a "No" button 218 for selecting not to additionally use the face image 130. be done. When the "yes" button 217 is selected and billing is performed, the issuing device 2 uses the face image 130 to issue the examination admission ticket 250 through the processes from S401 onwards. If the "No" button 218 is selected, the process proceeds to S307 and subsequent steps.

In this embodiment, when the examination slip 250 is issued by reusing the face image 130 of the issuing data 100, the code 300 is read, but the two-dimensional code 220 of the ID card 200 is not read. Alternatively, the unique ID 110 may be embedded as a watermark in the face image 130 of the ID card 200 and read. Further, by photographing a user's face image with the issuing device 2 and performing biometric authentication, the face image 130 that matches the face image may be reusable.

In addition, a user's registration ID is separately set for the reuse service of the face image 130, and the face image 130 photographed by the issuing device 2 when the ID card 200 is issued, the number of times of use 150, the photographing date 160, etc. are linked to the registration ID. The registration ID may be attached and centrally managed by the server 3, and the registration ID may be read when the examination slip 250 is issued. This makes it possible to reuse the face image 130 associated with the registration ID.

In this case, if the user has issued a plurality of ID cards 200, there may be a plurality of reusable face images 130. In that case, it is possible to select which face image 130 to reuse. is desirable.

For example, all reusable face images 130 (face images 130 within the expiration date and with the number of times of use 150 equal to or greater than 1) are sent to the issuing device 2, and as shown in FIG. A selection screen for selecting whether to reuse the image 130 is displayed, and the selected face image 130 is used to issue the examination slip 250 through the processes after S401 (see FIG. 15). At S410, the number of times of use 150 corresponding to the selected face image 130 is decremented.

Furthermore, the face image 130 whose usable count 150 is 0 even though it is within the expiration date, or the face image 130 whose expiration date has passed may be displayed as selectable face images 130 in FIG. 18(c). These face images 130 are displayed so as to be distinguishable from other reusable face images 130, and if they are temporarily selected, screens such as those shown in FIGS. It is possible to let the user choose whether to perform

Further, when the examination slip 250 is issued by reusing the face image 130 of the issue data 100, the number of times the face image 130 can be reused may be displayed on the display unit 21. FIG. As the number of times, the number of times the face image 130 can be used 150 immediately before the examination slip 250 is issued is decremented by one.

Also, in this embodiment, the ID card 200 and the examination slip 250 are issued as media, but the media to be issued are not limited to these. For example, it may be an identification photograph, various reception slips, an identification card such as the above-mentioned driver's license, my number card, residence card, special permanent resident card, a pass, an event ticket, or the like. These media may be printed on paper and issued, or may be issued as electronic media by outputting data to the user terminal 5 .

Also, in the present embodiment, a certification photo machine is used as the issuing device 2, but the present invention is not limited to this, as long as it can be connected to the server 3 and can issue media. For example, it is also possible to use a mobile terminal such as a smart phone.

Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings, the present invention is not limited to such examples. It is obvious that a person skilled in the art can conceive of various modifications or modifications within the scope of the technical ideas disclosed in the present application, and these also belong to the technical scope of the present invention.
