Description

The present invention relates to a system for processing information on a mark sheet and the mark sheet. In the device, a paper mark sheet is used as an input device to facilitate data input, and an IC chip is mounted on the mark sheet to enable the storage of input information and to identify an individual by having a unique number The present invention relates to a mark sheet that can be used.

As one of the input methods to various information processing systems, a mark sheet for marking with a pencil or the like is used at a predetermined place on a paper card, and the information on the mark sheet is read and processed one by one with an optical reader. There is a way.
However, since the conventional mark sheet reads the mark portion with an optical reader, a reader dependent on the size of the mark sheet is necessary, and the reader is provided in an office, a store, etc. Data input had to go to somewhere in the reader. In the case of a sales form such as a lottery ticket, there is a problem that a purchaser cannot be specified.

JP-A-7-283900

The problem to be solved is that the mark sheet is optically read.

An IC chip having a memory unit is provided in the mark sheet, mark information (input information) of the mark sheet is stored in the memory unit of the IC chip, the stored information is read by a terminal such as a mobile phone, and the mark sheet is read by the terminal The information is transmitted to a device of a service provider system such as a lottery that manages information, and after performing predetermined processing in the service provider system, the result can be returned to the terminal.
The mark sheet has a mark sheet structure in which a circuit is connected by marking a mark portion so that mark information is formed into a circuit, and a portable terminal or the like is a non-contact type reader that does not depend on the size of the mark sheet. In addition, an IC chip having a unique ID is mounted inside the mark sheet so that the mark sheet can be identified.
In the mark sheet of the present invention, mark information can be digitized and stored, and the stored information can be read by a portable terminal or the like, so that a large-scale reading device as in the prior art is unnecessary.
Since the mark sheet information processing system of the present invention transmits the mark information stored in the mark sheet to the service provider system whenever necessary and anytime using a portable terminal or the like, the use thereof can be simplified. If a unique ID is provided on the mark sheet and personal information is registered for the ID on the service provider system side, the input user can be specified as long as data is continuously input using this mark sheet.
