Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Vorrichtung zur Herstellung einer Berechtigungskarte, die eine den Karteninhaber identifizierende Abbildung und weitere Daten aufweist, nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a device for producing an authorization card, which has an image identifying the cardholder and further data, according to the preamble of claim 1.

Eine derartige Vorrichtung ist aus der EP-A-00 84064 bekannt. Dabei ist als Druckvorrichtung ein Thermo-oder Elektrosensitiv-Druckkopf vorgesehen, wobei das Videobild und die übrigen Daten auf Karten aufgezeichnet werden, die mit einer Thermo- bzw. elektrosensitiven Beschichtung versehen sind. Abgesehen von dem Erfordernis dieser Beschichtung, die die Karten spürbar verteuert, läßt das Auflösungsvermögen der bekannten Vorrichtung zu wünschen übrig.Such a device is known from EP-A-00 84064. A thermal or electrosensitive print head is provided as the printing device, the video image and the other data being recorded on cards which are provided with a thermosensitive or electrosensitive coating. Apart from the requirement of this coating, which makes the cards considerably more expensive, the resolution of the known device leaves something to be desired.

Weiterhin sind Berechtigungskarten bekannt, die auf elektrofotografischem Weg mit einem Bild des Karteninhabers und eventuell weiteren Daten versehen sind (US-PS 4 006 050, US-PS 4 092 449, DE-OS 22 62 507, EP-A-00 12 374 und EP-B 1-00 24 344). Dabei werden beispielsweise nach der EP-B 1-00 24 344 mit einer Schreibmaschine oder handschriftlich die Daten des Karteninhabers in ein Feld eines Formblatts eingetragen, auf welches dann das Bild des Karteninhabers geklebt wird, worauf das Formblatt auf das Kopierfenster eines handelsüblichen Kopiergeräts gelegt und kopiert wird.Furthermore, authorization cards are known which are provided with an image of the cardholder and possibly further data by electrophotography (US Pat. No. 4,006,050, US Pat. No. 4,092,449, DE-OS 22 62 507, EP-A-00 12 374 and EP-B 1-00 24 344). According to EP-B 1-00 24 344, for example, the data of the cardholder are entered into a field of a form with a typewriter or by hand, onto which the picture of the cardholder is then stuck, whereupon the form is copied onto the copy window of a commercially available one Copier is placed and copied.

Der Erfindung, wie sie in den Ansprüchen gekennzeichnet ist, liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, die bekannte Vorrichtung nach der EP-A-00 84 064 dahingehend zu verbessern, daß eine höhere Auflösung der den Karteninhaber identifizierenden Abbildung gewährleistet ist, und zwar ohne die Kosten der Vorrichtung sowie die Kosten der Kartenrohlinge zu erhöhen.The invention, as characterized in the claims, is based on the object of improving the known device according to EP-A-00 84 064 in such a way that a higher resolution of the image identifying the cardholder is guaranteed, without the cost of Device as well as increase the cost of blank cards.

Unter Berechtigungskarten sind dabei insbesondere Identitätsausweise, wie, Personal- oder Firmenausweise Kredit- und- Scheckkarten sowie Ausweise zu verstehen, die zum Bezug von Waren sowie zur Inanspruchnahme von Dienstleistungen berechtigten. Als solche Dienstleistung ist beispielsweise der Personentransport zu nennen, etwa bei Wintersportanlagen. So werden allein allein in den Alpen jährlich mehrere Millionen von Skipässen ausgegeben, die mit einem Bild des Karteninhabers versehen werden.In this context, authorization cards are to be understood in particular as identity cards, such as personal or company cards, credit and check cards, and cards that entitle the holder to purchase goods and to use services. One such service is the transportation of people, for example in winter sports facilities. In the Alps alone, for example, several million ski passes are issued every year, which are given a picture of the cardholder.

Die den Karteninhaber identifizierende Abbildung ist in erster Linie ein Bild desselben. Sie kann jedoch auch ein Fingerabdruck sein. In diesem Fall kann eine durchsichtige Scheibe verwendet werden, auf die die betreffende Person den Finger drückt, wobei die den Fingerabdruck aufnehmende Videokamera auf der anderen Seite der Scheibe angeordnet ist.The image that identifies the cardholder is primarily an image of it. However, it can also be a fingerprint. In this case, a transparent pane on which the person in question presses the finger can be used, the video camera recording the fingerprint being arranged on the other side of the pane.

Die weiteren Daten, die neben der den Karteninhaber identifizierenden Abbildung auf die Berechtigungskarte aufgezeichnet werden, sind normalerweise alphanumerische Daten, d. h. bei einem Skipaß z. B. eine Nummer zur Identifizierung der Karte, deren Preis, Beginn und Dauer von deren Gültigkeit, Angaben über die Kasse, an der die Karte gekauft worden ist, und weitere Angaben über den Karteninhaber (Erwachsener, Kind, Skilehrer usw.). Diese weiteren Daten können jedoch auch eine Code-Markierung sein, beispielsweise ein Strichcode, insbesondere wenn die Berechtigungskarte zum Bezug von Waren beispielsweise in einem Supermarkt berechtigt, bei dem an der Kasse bereits entsprechende Strichcodelesegeräte für die mit 'Strichcode versehenen Waren installiert sind.The other data that are recorded on the authorization card in addition to the figure identifying the cardholder are normally alphanumeric data, ie for a ski pass z. For example, a number to identify the card, its price, start and duration of its validity, details of the cash desk where the card was purchased and other information about the card holder (adult, child, ski instructor, etc.). However, this additional data can also be a Be a code marking, for example a bar code, in particular if the authorization card authorizes the purchase of goods, for example in a supermarket, in which corresponding bar code reading devices for the goods provided with a bar code are already installed at the checkout.

Bei dem erfindungsgemäß verwendeten elektrofotografischen Aufzeichnungsgerät kann das Ladungsbild, das von der Lichtquelle ganzflächig auf einer Halbleiterschicht erzeugt wird, also beispielsweise von einer von der Steuereinrichtung angesteuerten auf eine sich drehende Selenwalze projizierenden Fotoemitterzeile, dann wie bei einem handelsüblichen elektrofotografischen Kopiergerät mit einem Toner in Berührung gebracht werden, worauf das Tonerbild elektrostatisch auf die Karte übertragen und fixiert wird.In the electrophotographic recording device used according to the invention, the charge image which is generated over the entire area by the light source on a semiconductor layer, that is to say for example from a photo-emitter line which is controlled by the control device and projects onto a rotating selenium roller, can then be brought into contact with a toner, as in a commercially available electrophotographic copying device whereupon the toner image is electrostatically transferred to the card and fixed.

Nachstehend ist ein Ausführungsbeispiel der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung anhand der beigefügten Zeichnung näher erläutert, deren einzige Figur schematisch einen Kassenraum mit Videokamera, ein Blockdiagramm der weiteren Grundeinheiten der Vorrichtung sowie schematisch das Bedrucken eines Skipasses wiedergibt.An exemplary embodiment of the device according to the invention is explained in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawing, the single figure of which schematically represents a cash register with a video camera, a block diagram of the further basic units of the device and schematically the printing of a ski pass.

In dem Kassenraum 1 beispielsweise einer Gondelbahn einer Wintersportanlage ist eine Videokamera 2 vorgesehen, die durch eine durchsichtige Scheibe 3 auf eine Rückwand 4 gerichtet ist, die in einem solchen Abstand von der Scheibe 3 angeordnet ist, daß eine Person dazwischen bequem hindurchgehen kann.In the till 1, for example a gondola lift of a winter sports facility, a video camera 2 is provided, which is directed through a transparent pane 3 onto a rear wall 4, which is arranged at such a distance from the pane 3 that a person can comfortably walk through it.

Die Wand 4 bildet einen Hintergrund gleichbleibender Helligkeit für die Videoaufnahmen. Eine Beleuchtungseinrichtung 5 sorgt für ausreichende Beleuchtungsverhältnisse. Die Videokamera 2 kann eine herkömmliche Röhren-oder Halbleiterkamera sein.The wall 4 forms a background of constant brightness for the video recordings. A lighting device 5 ensures sufficient lighting conditions. The video camera 2 can be a conventional tube or semiconductor camera.

Die Ausgangssignale der Videokamera 2 werden einer Einrichtung 6 zugeführt, die den Bildinhalt, d. h. die einzelnen Bildpunkte der Videokamera 2 digitalisiert, z. B. in zwölf Grautönen. Der so digitalisierte Bildinhalt wird einer elektronischen Steuereinrichtung 7 zugeführt.The output signals of the video camera 2 are fed to a device 6, which the image content, i. H. the individual pixels of the video camera 2 digitized, z. B. in twelve shades of gray. The image content digitized in this way is fed to an electronic control device 7.

An die Steuereinrichtung 7 ist ferner eine Dateneingabeeinrichtung 8 angeschlossen. Die Dateneingabeeinrichtung 8 kann entsprechend der Tastatur einer Schreibmaschine ausgebildet sein. Die Dateneingabeeinrichtung kann weiterhin an ein Netzwerk und/oder einen Massenspeicher 14 angeschlossen sein.A data input device 8 is also connected to the control device 7. The data input device 8 can be designed in accordance with the keyboard of a typewriter. The data input device can also be connected to a network and / or a mass storage device 14.

Falls 14 ein Netzwerk ist, so kann dieses beispielsweise die Dateneingabeeinrichtung 8 mit den einzelnen Hotels eines Wintersportortes verbinden. Die Daten des Hotelgastes, für den die Berechtigungskarte, also z. B. der Skipaß oder eine Kurkarte gedruckt werden soll, wie Name sowie Ab- und Anreisetag und damit die Gültigkeitsdauer der Karte können dann über das Netzwerk abgerufen werden. Bei Abholung der Karte braucht von der betreffenden Person dann nur noch das Videobild gemacht zu werden, während die Eingabe der übrigen Daten entfällt.If 14 is a network, this can, for example, connect the data input device 8 to the individual hotels of a winter sports resort. The data of the hotel guest for whom the authorization card, e.g. B. the ski pass or a spa card should be printed, such as name and day of departure and arrival and thus the period of validity of the card can then be called up via the network. When the card is picked up, the person in question then only has to take the video image, while the other data is not entered.

Falls 14 ein Massenspeicher ist, so kann dieser beispiels weise in der Personalabteilung einer Firma bereits vorhanden sein. Bei Erstellung eines Werksausweises können dann die persönlichen Daten des betreffenden Werksangehörigen von dem Massenspeicher abgerufen werden.If 14 is a mass storage device, it may already be present in the personnel department of a company, for example. When a company ID card is created, the personal data of the employee concerned can then be called up from the mass storage device.

Die elektronische Steuereinrichtung 7 steuert eine Lichtquelle in einem elektrophotographischen Aufzeichnungsgerät 9. Die Lichtquelle kann beispielsweise eine Fotoemitterzeile sein, deren Fotoemitter von der Steuereinrichtung 7 einzeln angesteuert werden, wobei das emittierte Licht ganzflächig auf eine sich drehende Walze mit einer Halbleiterbeschichtung projiziert wird, auf der sich ein elektrostatisches Ladungsbild bildet, das dann mittels eines Toners auf die Karte übertragen wird. Auf diese Weise zeichnet das Gerät 9, gesteuert von der Steuereinrichtung 7, das von der Videokamera 2 aufgenommene Bild der Person zwischen der Scheibe 3 und der Rückwand 4 sowie die auf die Dateneingabeeinrichtung 8 eingegebenen Daten auf den Kartenrohling 10 auf, und zwar das Bild 11 auf dem Abschnitt A und die alphanumerischen Daten 12, wie Kartennummer, Kaufdatum der Karte, Kasse, an der die Karte gekauft worden ist, weitere Angaben über die Person (z. B. Erwachsener) und Gültigkeitsdauer der Karte auf dem Abschnitt B, wie dem bedruckten Skipaß 13 zu entnehmen. Der Kartenrohring 10 kann dabei aus normalem Papier oder Kunststoff bestehen. Die elektronische Steuereinrichtung 7 kann weiterhin mit einem Massenspeicher 15 verbunden sein, an den ein Bildschirm 16 angeschlossen ist. Auf diese Weise kann die Kartenidentität überprüft werden, D. h. bei einer bestimmten Kartennummer kann von dem Massenspeicher 15 das Bild der betreffenden Person abgerufen und auf dem Bildschirm 16 sichtbar gemacht werden. Dadurch sind beispielsweise gefälschte Karten erkennbar, die mit einer ähnlichen Vorrichtung hergestellt worden sind.The electronic control device 7 controls a light source in an electrophotographic recording device 9. The light source can be, for example, a photo emitter line, the photo emitters of which are individually controlled by the control device 7, the emitted light being projected over the entire surface onto a rotating roller with a semiconductor coating on which an electrostatic charge image is formed, which is then transferred to the card using a toner. In this way, the device 9, controlled by the control device 7, records the image of the person recorded by the video camera 2 between the pane 3 and the rear wall 4 and the data entered on the data input device 8 on the card blank 10, specifically the picture 11 on section A and the alphanumeric data 12, such as card number, date of purchase of the card, cash desk at which the card was bought, further details about the person (e.g. adult) and period of validity of the card on section B, such as the printed ski pass 13. The card tube ring 10 can consist of normal paper or plastic. The electronic control device 7 can also be connected to a mass storage device 15, to which a screen 16 is connected. In this way the card identity can be checked. for a certain card number, the image of the person concerned can be called up from the mass storage device 15 and made visible on the screen 16. This makes it possible, for example, to identify counterfeit cards that have been produced using a similar device.

Mit der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung ist eine hohe Auflösung erzielbar. So können beispielsweise mit einer Fotoemitterzeile als Lichquelle mehr als 20 Punkte pro Millimeter erzeugt werden. Mit einem steuerbaren Laserstrahl ist noch eine wesentlich höhere Auflösung möglich. Es können daher auch feinste Schattierungen der den Karteninhaber identifizierenden Abbildung auf der Berechtigungskarte aufgezeichnet werden.A high resolution can be achieved with the device according to the invention. For example, with a photo emitter line as the light source, more than 20 dots per millimeter can be generated. A much higher resolution is possible with a controllable laser beam. Therefore, even the finest shades of the image identifying the cardholder can be recorded on the authorization card.
