However, if a booklet with a non-contact IC chip is applied, it is considered that fraud at the time of the stamp rally can be prevented.

  However, if a non-contact IC chip is attached to all user stamps, the cost increases.

  Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of such points, and an object thereof is to provide a booklet that can improve the ease of use by each user while reducing the cost. .

  In order to solve the above problems, the invention described in claim 1 is directed to a booklet having a printing surface that can be printed or stamped, in which data is written from an external reader / writer in a non-contact manner by radio waves of a predetermined frequency or the external reader / writer A pocket for holding a card in which an IC chip capable of reading data is embedded is attached to the front cover or back cover of the booklet.

  The invention according to claim 2 is the booklet according to claim 1, wherein the IC chip is held in the pocket, and when the card is printed or stamped, It is embedded at a position facing the printing or stamping device.

  According to the present invention, since the pocket for holding the card in which the IC chip is embedded is attached to the front cover or back cover of the booklet, by attaching the user-owned card to this pocket, Ease of use by each user can be increased while reducing costs.

  DESCRIPTION OF EXEMPLARY EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, the best mode for carrying out the invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The embodiment described below is an embodiment when the present invention is applied to a stamp system for performing a stamp rally.

  FIG. 1 is a conceptual diagram showing the flow of a stamp rally. In the example of FIG. 1, three locations A to C are shown as the locations where the stamp rally is performed, but there are actually more locations than this.

  In each of the bases A to C, a stamp device 1 having the same configuration and function is installed on a stamp base 2. The memory provided in the stamp apparatus 1 at each of the bases A to C stores base data (for example, consisting of an identification number unique to each base) indicating the base where each stamp apparatus 1 is installed. The base data are different from each other.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the user U who performs the stamp rally travels around the bases A to C with the stamp basket 3 (an example of a booklet), and uses the stamp device 1 at each of the bases A to C. For example, the stamp is stamped on the stamp basket 3, and finally the stamp basket 3 is brought to the prize exchange place to be exchanged for a prize, or a lottery for obtaining a prize is performed.

  FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view for explaining the configuration of the stamp apparatus 1 and the stamp stand 2 according to the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 2, the stamp device 1 includes a power plug 11, a housing grip portion 12, a housing stamp portion 13, a makeup / recognition LED (light emitting diode) 14, a control board 15, a speaker (or buzzer) 16, An RFID (Radio Frequency Identification System) antenna 17, an RFID reader / writer communication switch (hereinafter referred to as “R / W communication switch”) 18, and a rubber stamp 19 as a printing plate for stamping the stamp, etc. Yes.

  The control board 15 includes a CPU, a RAM, a ROM, a nonvolatile memory, and the like, and has an RFID reader / writer function and a timekeeping (clock) function. The RFID reader / writer employs, for example, a known FeliCa (registered trademark) technology, which is a non-contact IC card technology, and reads data from an IC chip (hereinafter referred to as “RFID chip”) that employs the FeliCa technology. In addition, data can be written to the RFID chip in a non-contact manner (by non-contact communication) using radio waves of a predetermined frequency. It should be noted that a technology other than the above FeliCa may be applied as the non-contact IC card technology, for example, a technology of MIFARE (R) Ultralite (ISO 14443A) may be applied.

  For example, the RFID reader / writer detects an RFID chip that falls within a communicable range (for example, about 10 cm) when the R / W communication switch 18 is ON (on), via the RFID antenna (at this time, UID (an RFID chip identifier (for example, a unique manufacturing number for each RFID chip) is obtained) from the RFID chip), and radio waves (for example, 13.56 MHz) are transmitted to the RFID chip to supply power to the RFID chip (electromagnetic By performing data communication (RFID non-contact communication) between the RFID chips by carrier modulation, data reading from the RFID chip and data writing to the RFID chip are performed in a non-contact manner. .

  Further, the base data described above is stored in a predetermined storage area of a ROM (or nonvolatile memory) provided in the control board 15.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the R / W communication switch 18 is turned off because it is urged by the R / W communication switch push-out projection 21 in the stamp table 2 when the stamp device 1 is installed on the stamp table 2. When the stamp device 1 is separated from the stamp table 2, the bias by the R / W communication switch push-out protrusion 21 is released and the stamp device 1 is turned on.

  An image shape of a character such as predetermined characters and figures is formed on the stamp surface of the rubber stamp 19 on the stamp stand 2 side, and the opposite surface is bonded to the casing stamp portion 13 as shown. When the stamp device 1 is placed on the stamp base 2, the stamp face of the rubber stamp 19 is in contact with the vermilion 20 provided on the stamp base 2. Then, when the user U lifts the stamp device 1 and presses the stamp surface of the rubber stamp 19 against the stamp surface (paper surface) of the stamp bar 3, the image-shaped stamp is stamped. In addition to the rubber stamp, the stamp portion may be a stamp made of a material that is easily bent.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram for explaining the configuration of the stamp basket 3. The stamp bar 3 has a plurality of stamp faces (consisting of a plurality of pages) on which the stamp can be stamped, and the stamp can be stamped on each of the stamp faces. Further, a pocket PO for holding, for example, a personal card CA embedded with an RFID chip 41 (including an antenna) as described above is attached to the inside of the back cover (or a front cover) of the stamp basket 3. Yes. Examples of the personal card CA include a membership card, an employee card, and a transportation card. In addition, you may be a card shared with the member of a group or a group instead of a personal card, for example.

  Further, the RFID chip 41 is embedded at a position facing the stamp device 1 through the stamp face when the personal card CA is inserted and held in the pocket PO and the stamp is stamped on the stamp face of the stamp holder 3. It is desirable that For example, positioning is performed so that the center (center) of the antenna of the RFID chip 41 and the center of the frame (frame of the area where the stamp is stamped) printed on the stamp bar 3 coincide. Thereby, when a stamp is stamped on the stamp bar 3, it is possible to reliably exchange data between the stamp device 1 and the RFID chip 41.

  The RFID chip 41 stores a unique UID (for example, a unique manufacturing number for each RFID chip), personal information such as a user membership number, and the like in advance.

  In the above configuration, the stamp device 1 (CPU) detects the RFID chip 41 embedded in the personal card CA when the stamp is imprinted on the stamp face of the stamp bar 3 and data to be written to the RFID chip 41. Is transmitted to the RFID chip 41 via the RFID antenna 17 by non-contact communication. On the other hand, the RFID chip 41 receives the data transmitted from the stamp device 1 through the page of the stamp bag 3 and writes it in the memory.

  The “data to be written” includes, for example, base data (data constituting the passage history of the base) stored in advance in a predetermined storage area such as a ROM of the stamp device 1 and a timekeeping function of the stamp device 1 Includes at least time data (for example, a time stamp indicating the date and time) indicating the time (time when the data is written) timed by.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of an operation flow of the stamp apparatus 1.

  In FIG. 4, first, the system is activated when the stamp apparatus 1 is turned on (program execution is started by the CPU), and the activation confirmation sound is reproduced and output through the speaker (or buzzer) 16 (A). At this time, the stamp apparatus 1 is installed on the stamp stand 2 and the R / W communication switch 18 is OFF (B).

  Next, when the user U lifts the stamp device 1 from the stamp table 2, the R / W communication switch 18 is turned on, and the stamp device 1 issues a RFID chip UID acquisition command in response to this (this is a periodic operation). And output via the RFID antenna 17. Then, the stamp device 1 detects the RFID chip 41 based on the successful acquisition (C) of the UID from the RFID chip 41.

  Next, the stamp device 1 acquires (reads) the base data written in the memory of the RFID chip 41 (for example, NULL data if not written yet) from the RFID chip 41 by non-contact communication. It is determined whether or not its own base data is already written in the RFID chip 41. When the base data has not been written (that is, only when the base data stored in the stamp device 1 is not included in the data acquired from the RFID chip 41), the stamp device 1, data having the passage history and time stamp of its own base is transmitted to the RFID chip 41 by non-contact communication to be written in the memory of the RFID chip 41 (D).

  When the communication is thus completed, the stamp device 1 turns on the makeup / recognition LED 14 and reproduces a completion notification sound and outputs it through the speaker (or buzzer) 16 (E).

  On the other hand, if the base data has already been written in the determination, the stamp device 1 reproduces the error notification sound and outputs it through the speaker (or buzzer) 16. Thereby, it is possible to limit the writing to the RFID chip 41 so that it can be performed only once by one stamp device 1 (one site).

  Next, an embodiment of a stamp rally using the stamp device 1 and the stamp bar 3 will be described.

  FIG. 5 is a conceptual diagram showing the flow of the stamp rally in the embodiment.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the stamp basket 3 used in the stamp rally is prepared by a business operator (such as a rally organizer) that holds the stamp rally, and is distributed to the user U before the stamp rally starts. Then, the user U inserts the personal card CA owned by the user into the pocket PO of the stamp bag 3 and goes around the bases A to C with the stamp bag 3, and as shown in FIG. In ~ C, the stamp device 1 is used to push the stamp on the stamp face of the stamp 帖 3, and the data having the passage history and time stamp of its own base is written to the RFID chip 41 of the personal card CA. You will visit a gift exchange.

  In this prize exchange place, a gift exchange R / W (RFID reader / writer) 5 and a processing terminal 6 electrically connected thereto are installed.

  When the user U holds his / her stamp bag 3 over the gift exchange R / W 5 at the gift exchange, the gift exchange R / W 5 receives the UID from the RFID chip 41 and the passing history and time of each site. Data having a stamp is read by non-contact communication, and these data are transmitted to the processing terminal 6.

  The processing terminal 6 acquires the data written in the RFID chip 41 and the UID stored in advance in the RFID chip 41 through the gift exchange R / W 5, and based on the acquired data, the stamp It is determined whether or not to give a predetermined right to the user U who is the owner of the bag 3.

  For example, the processing terminal 6 checks the acquired UID and base data, and determines (judgment) whether or not to give the user U the right to exchange prizes (the right to obtain a prize) or the right to draw, for example. To do. If the processing terminal 6 decides to give the user U the right to exchange prizes (the right to obtain a prize) or the right to draw, for example, it outputs information indicating that (for example, print output) , Display output, audio output, etc.). In this way, the user U who is given the right can exchange a prize with the stamp basket 3 (a prize can be obtained) or exchange a lottery ticket with the stamp basket 3 (a lottery can be performed). Further, the processing terminal 6 causes the RFID chip 41 to write the history (for example, the exchanged flag “1”) indicating that the prize exchange or the lottery ticket exchange has been performed through the prize exchange R / W 5.

  Here, as a specific example of the method for determining whether or not to give a predetermined right to the user U, the processing terminal 6 reads data from the RFID chip 41 and associates it with the acquired UID. It is determined whether or not a history indicating that the exchange has been performed (for example, the exchanged flag “1”) has been written to the RFID chip 41. If the history has not been written to the RFID chip 41, the acquisition is continued. It is determined whether or not there is a certain number of base data corresponding to the number of bases A to C or a predetermined number less than the bases A to C. To decide.

  For example, the processing terminal 6 determines to give a predetermined right to the user U when the acquired data includes base data of a predetermined essential base (for example, base B). (For example, only when the user U is traveling around a required base (a base that becomes a quota), for example, the prize can be exchanged), or the number of bases determined in advance in the acquired data (for example, the base A When the base data of any two bases of ~ C) is included, it is decided to give the user U a predetermined right (for example, the user U is turning around the required number of bases). For example, it is possible to exchange prizes).

  On the other hand, if the history indicating that the exchange has been performed is written in the RFID chip 41, or if there is no such number, the processing terminal 6 determines not to give the user U a predetermined right. Will do.

  Then, for example, after lottery or after product exchange, the member card CA is removed from the stamp box 3, the stamp box 3 is provided as a memorial to the user U, and the member card CA is used as a normal member card CA. .

  As described above, according to the above embodiment, the pocket PO for inserting and holding the personal card CA in which the RFID chip 41 is embedded is provided in the stamp bag 3 that is finally provided to the user U. Since the rally organizers do not need to prepare the RFID chip 41, for example, when participating in the stamp rally, it can be used as the stamp basket 3 by mounting a user-owned personal card CA or the like in this pocket. Ease of use by the user U can be increased while reducing the burden cost of the rally organizer and the like.

  In the above embodiment, as a booklet in the present invention, a stamp bag used in a stamp rally has been described as an example. However, the present invention can also be applied to other booklets having a stampable stamp surface. Further, the present invention can be applied to a booklet having a stamp surface capable of printing electronic data, for example, instead of a stamp stampable stamp surface.

It is a conceptual diagram which shows the flow of a stamp rally. It is sectional drawing for demonstrating the structure of the stamp apparatus 1 and stamp stand 2 which concern on this embodiment. It is a figure for demonstrating the structure of the stamp basket 3. FIG. It is a figure which shows an example of the operation | movement flow of the stamp apparatus. It is a conceptual diagram which shows the flow of the stamp rally in an Example.
