DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a stamp on which a personal message or the like can be written and which is provided with forgery prevention means.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A postage stamp originally has a function as a voucher attached to a postal matter to indicate that the postage has been paid. ), Charges and letters etc. are printed,
The configuration is such that the user has no margin for writing or the like. The reason for this is that stamps, as called "small paper jewelry", try to provide as beautiful printed matter as possible using landscapes, events, animals and plants as patterns.

[0003] On the other hand, when purchasing stamps, there are various types of tickets that can be always purchased nationwide, called regular stamps with the same design,
Like commemorative stamps with different designs, there are ticket types that are sold with limited number of prints, issuance time, issuance area, etc., but usually there are few types of stamps sold. The reason is that many types of commemorative stamps are issued in one year, but the number of prints is small, and they are sold out in a relatively short period of time.
Therefore, when purchasing stamps, it is necessary to select from a limited number of stamps, and there is no form in which customers can freely select and purchase from many types of stamps.

However, recently, the so-called "Purikura" (registered trademark)
A simple image input / output device called a “marker” ” has made it possible to easily create a large number of printed matter in which a face image of an individual has been captured. The personal image created by the simple image input / output device is exchanged with a close person or pasted on a mail to provide a new communication means. The widespread use of such devices can also change the value and style of mail. In other words, letters and postcards themselves were the means of transmitting personal information, but some people who are not satisfied with the transmission of personal information simply by purchasing and pasting stamps on the market, consider the stamps themselves as personal information. There is a request to do so.

[0005] A simple image input / output device commonly called “Purikura (registered trademark)” has a function of taking in a face image of an individual and creating a printed matter, and at the same time, freely changing a design as a background while changing the face image of the individual. It has the feature that images can be embedded. Therefore, by paying attention to this feature, it is possible to store a large number of stamps that can be stamps in a storage medium by a simple image input / output device, output the stamps while freely selecting the symbols, and sell the stamps. . It is also possible to combine a personal face image with a background. However, the current
Since the output resolution of a simple image input / output device called "Purikura (registered trademark)" is rather coarse and inferior to the print quality as a stamp, the output resolution must be equal to or higher than the print quality of 200 lines / inch or more. Is desirable.

[0006] However, when a stamp containing a personal message or a stamp made by a simple image input / output device is issued, various personal information can be freely written in the stamp. Although there is an advantage that a favorite pattern can be selected from among them, there is also a drawback that various stamps appear, so that it can be easily forged and the authenticity determination becomes more difficult. Further, at present, securities such as minute characters, copy prevention image lines, fluorescent printing, and the like are printed as a function of preventing forgery of a copy by a color copier or the like. The forgery prevention function of these minute characters and the like is mainly incorporated into the background of the design and printed. For this reason, in producing a design, the work of fusing a copy-preventing image line or the like as a simple design so as not to give a sense of incongruity requires a high level of skill and experience, and requires a lot of production time. In addition, if you apply a forgery prevention function to the background of the design as it is now,
Since a forgery prevention image or the like is printed on the stamp in advance, there is a problem in that there is no space for entering personal information.

[0007]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a stamp with a space for putting personal information in the stamp. The purpose is to provide a forgery prevention function in this space. Further, the image input / output device or the like allows the purchaser to freely select a stamp design from among a large number of pre-stored designs, and provides a forgery prevention function to a part of the stamp space. That is.
