Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of smart card manufacturing, and in particular to a smart card manufacturing method, a card manufacturing device and a computer-readable storage medium. Background Art

[0002] There is a kind of smart card that contains a variety of different functions, such as social security card, citizen card, campus card, co-branded card, etc. For example, the social security card contains a social security account and a financial card account, and the social security card has the functions of a social security card and a general financial card of a bank. For example, a campus card has a campus card account and a general financial card account, and the campus card has the functions of a campus card and a general financial card of a bank. In order to ensure the security of the financial server, the financial server and the second server are not compatible. Therefore, when this kind of smart card is made, if the user uses a self-service card making machine to make a card, the data of the bank server is first written into a blank card, and then the financial printing data sent by the bank server is printed on the card. After the printer prints the card, the card is laminated. Then the data of the second server is written into the card that has completed the financial card production, and then the second printing is performed, and the printing data sent by the second server is printed on the card, and the card is laminated for the second time. Since it takes two prints to make a smart card with information written by two different servers, if both prints are printed in color, the card making cost will increase.

[0003] After the general card making system prints the card surface, according to the card making process, the driving mechanism in the card making device transports the card to the laminating mechanism to achieve lamination. Since the bank system server and the second server are incompatible, the card needs to be made twice when generating the smart card. According to the general card making process, lamination will be performed twice. When making a smart card, if the card is laminated twice, the second printing will be performed on the basis of the first lamination. Due to the poor adhesion of the ink on the film, the printing effect is poor, which increases the scrap rate.

[0004] There is an existing smart card making method that obtains user identity information through a mobile card making device; after the user identity information is verified, the mobile card making device uploads the user identity information to the card issuing server; the card issuing server sends the user identity information to the social security system server through a first dedicated line, and to the bank system server through a second dedicated line, and the card issuing server obtains the user's social security account information from the social security system server, and obtains the bank account information from the bank system server; the card issuing server sends the social security account information and the bank account information to the mobile card making device, and the mobile card making device writes the social security account information and the bank account information into a new smart card; the bank account number of the new smart card is the same as the bank account number of the initial smart card. However, the card making method does not perform a printing operation on the smart card, that is, the card making method does not describe the printing operation on the card surface, that is, the card making method uses the traditional method to print the card surface, which will increase the production cost and increase the scrap rate. Summary of the invention

[0005] The first object of the present invention is to provide a method for manufacturing smart cards which can reduce the cost of manufacturing cards and the rate of rejected cards.

[0006] The second object of the present invention is to provide a card making device for implementing the above-mentioned smart card making method.

[0007] The third object of the present invention is to provide a card making device using the above-mentioned smart card making method.

[0008] To achieve the first objective of the present invention, the present invention provides a method for making a smart card, comprising obtaining user card making information and starting a financial card making operation; querying financial card making information according to the user card making information, the financial card making information including financial card information and financial text information; obtaining a blank card, calling a chip reading and writing mechanism, and writing the financial card information to the blank card; calling a monochrome printing mechanism, printing the financial text information on the card surface of the blank card to form a semi-finished card; starting a second card making operation on the semi-finished card; obtaining second card making information according to the user card making information, the second card making information including second card information and color printing information; calling the chip reading and writing mechanism to write the second card information to the semi-finished card; calling the color printing mechanism, and printing the color printing information on the card surface of the semi-finished card; performing a laminating operation on the semi-finished card, the laminating operation being performed only after the color printing information is printed on the card surface of the semi-finished card; and outputting the smart card.

[0009] It can be seen from the above scheme that when making cards, in the stage of financial card making, only financial text information needs to be printed. In the present invention, when printing financial text information, monochrome printing is used to print on blank cards, which can reduce printing costs. After the blank card is printed using the monochrome printing mechanism, the semi-finished card is not directly laminated before entering the second card making operation step. When the color printing mechanism is called to print the semi-finished card for the second time, the card surface after the first printing that is not laminated is printed, which can reduce the waste cards caused by poor printing effects after printing after lamination and reduce the waste card rate. In addition, since the first printing is not laminated immediately, the subsequent color printing information can be printed on the card surface after the first printing that is not laminated, which can reduce the waste cards caused by poor printing effects after printing after lamination.

[0010] In a further plan, the second phase of card making operations includes one of the following: social security card making operation, co-branded card making operation, campus card making operation, and citizen card making operation.

[0011] It can be seen that this printing method can be used to complete social security card making, co-branded card making, campus card making, citizen card making, etc., so that the printing of card making by two incompatible servers can be executed.

[0012] In a further solution, before calling the chip reading and writing mechanism to write the financial card information on the blank card, the following is further performed: calling the magnetic writing mechanism to write the magnetic stripe information on the blank card.

[0013] It can be seen that since some smart cards have magnetic stripes, the smart card can be magnetically written before writing to the card.

[0014] In a further solution, the step of obtaining a blank card includes: calling a card entry and exit mechanism to obtain a blank card from a card bin, and transporting the blank card to a card writing position.

[0015] It can be seen that the blank card can be transported through the card entry and exit mechanism, thereby completing the card writing and printing process of the blank card.

[0016] In a further embodiment, the financial text information includes financial card number information, validity period information and user name information.

[0017] It can be seen that financial text information can be printed by a monochrome printing mechanism, thereby reducing printing costs.

[0018] In a further embodiment, the color printing information includes the second user information and the photo information.

[0019] It can be seen that, since the color printing information includes the second user information, color printing is required when performing a printing operation, so a color printing mechanism needs to be used when printing the color printing information.

[0020] In order to achieve the second purpose, the card making equipment provided by the present invention includes a main control unit, a card input and output mechanism, a monochrome printing mechanism, a color printing mechanism, a magnetic writing mechanism, a chip reading and writing mechanism and a laminating mechanism; the main control unit is connected to the card input and output mechanism, the main control unit is connected to the monochrome printing mechanism, the main control unit is connected to the color printing mechanism, the main control unit is connected to the magnetic writing mechanism, the main control unit is connected to the chip reading and writing mechanism, and the laminating mechanism is connected to the main control unit; the main control unit executes the above-mentioned smart card making method.

[0021] As can be seen from the above scheme, users can directly make a smart card with two functions through the card making equipment. Users do not need to go to the bank counter or apply online, wait for the manufacturer to complete the production of the smart card with two functions, and then activate it at the bank.

[0022] In a further solution, the card making device is further provided with a first dedicated line and a second dedicated line, the main control unit is connected to the second server via the first dedicated line, and the main control unit is connected to the bank system server via the second dedicated line.

[0023] In a further solution, the second server includes one of the following: a social security card-issuing server, a co-branded card-issuing server, a campus card-issuing server, and a citizen card-issuing server.

[0024] It can be seen that the main control unit is connected to the second server and the bank system server, and the financial data and the second card making information between the two are read respectively to ensure that the two servers are not compatible and the data security of the bank server is ensured.

[0025] In order to achieve the third objective, the present invention provides a computer-readable storage medium on which a computer program is stored, and when the computer program is executed, the above-mentioned smart card making method is implemented. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0026] Figure 1 It is a system structure block diagram of a card making device embodiment of the present invention.

[0027] Figure 2 It is a flow chart of an embodiment of a method for making a smart card according to the present invention.

[0028] The present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] The present invention provides a method for making a smart card. In the process of making a financial card, a monochrome printing mechanism is used to print financial text information. During this printing stage, the card is not coated. After printing the financial text information, the smart card is made for the second time. The second card making uses a color printing mechanism for printing. The smart card is coated in the second card making step. The present invention can reduce printing costs and reduce the waste card rate.

[0030] Card making equipment embodiment: See also Figure 1 The card making device in this embodiment includes a main control unit 11, a card entry and exit mechanism 12, a monochrome printing mechanism 13, a color printing mechanism 14, a magnetic writing mechanism 15, a chip reading and writing mechanism 16, and a laminating mechanism 17. The card entry and exit mechanism 12 can be a conveyor belt, and the main control unit 11 can control the card entry and exit mechanism 12 to transport the smart card; the main control unit 11 can control the magnetic writing mechanism 15 to write magnetic stripe information to the smart card, the main control unit 11 can control the chip reading and writing mechanism 16 to write chip information to the smart card, the main control unit 11 can control the monochrome printing mechanism 13 to print the smart card in monochrome, and the main control unit 11 can control the color printing mechanism 14 to print the smart card in color. Further, the monochrome printing mechanism 13 and the color printing mechanism 14 can be set as two printing modes of a printing mechanism. The card making device is also provided with a first dedicated line 18 and a second dedicated line 19. The main control unit 11 is connected to the second server through the first dedicated line 18 to obtain the second card making information in the second server. The second server includes one of the following: a social security card making server, a co-branded card making server, a campus card making server, and a citizen card making server. The card making information of the second operation can be one of the social security card making information, the co-branded card making information, the campus card making information, and the citizen card making information. The main control unit 11 is connected to the bank system server through the second dedicated line 19 to obtain the financial data required for card making. The main control unit 11 can call the laminating mechanism 17 to perform a laminating operation on the smart card.

[0031] Smart card manufacturing method embodiment: See also Figure 2 When the user needs to perform a card making operation on the smart card, the card making device in the card making device embodiment can be used to make the card. The card making device first executes step S11 to obtain the user's card making information and start the financial card making operation. Among them, the user's card making information includes the user's identity information and the user's selected card making operation information. When the card making device receives the user's card making information, it starts to make the smart card. Since the smart card includes other functions and the functions of the bank's ordinary financial card, in order to ensure the security of bank data, the financial card making operation is performed first.

[0032] After the financial card making operation is started, step S12 is executed to query the financial card making information. The card making device obtains the user's financial card making data from the bank system server through the second dedicated line. The financial card making information includes financial card information and financial text information.

[0033] After querying the financial card making information, execute step S13, obtain a blank card, call the magnetic writing mechanism to write the magnetic stripe information on the blank card, and call the chip reading and writing mechanism to write the financial card information on the blank card. The main control unit controls the card entry and exit mechanism to obtain the blank card from the card bin, and then transports it to the card writing position of the magnetic writing mechanism. The main control unit writes the magnetic stripe information on the blank card through the magnetic writing mechanism. After the magnetic writing mechanism writes the magnetic stripe information on the blank card, the main control unit controls the card entry and exit mechanism to transport the blank card to the card writing position of the chip reading and writing mechanism, and the chip reading and writing mechanism writes the financial card information on the blank card. The financial card information includes financial card number information, identity authentication information, key information, etc.

[0034] After writing the financial card information on the blank card, step S14 is executed to call the monochrome printing mechanism to print the financial text information on the card surface of the blank card to form a semi-finished card. Since the financial text information includes the financial card number information, the validity period information, the user name information, etc., that is, the financial text information is text information, and since the text information does not need to be printed in color when it is printed on the smart card, the monochrome printing mechanism is used to print on the card surface of the blank card. After the main control unit calls the monochrome mechanism to print on the blank card, it does not call the laminating mechanism to laminate the blank card, so that when the color printing information is printed later, it can be printed on the unlaminated card surface, which can reduce the waste of cards due to poor printing effect caused by printing after lamination.

[0035] After the semi-finished card is formed, step S15 is executed to start the second card-making operation on the semi-finished card. The second card-making operation requires obtaining the second card-making information, and the main control unit executes step S16 to obtain the second card-making information. The main control unit obtains the second card-making information from the second server through the first dedicated line according to the identity information in the user's card-making information. If the smart card is a social security card, the main control unit obtains the social security card-making information from the social security server through the first dedicated line according to the identity information in the user's card-making information; if the smart card is a campus card, the main control unit obtains the campus card-making information from the campus server through the first dedicated line according to the identity information in the user's card-making information. Among them, the second card-making information includes the second card information and color printing information.

[0036] After obtaining the second card making information, step S17 is executed to call the chip reading and writing mechanism to write the second card information into the semi-finished card. The second card information includes the second information, identity verification information, key information, etc. Among them, the main control unit calls the card entry and exit mechanism to transport the semi-finished card to the card writing position of the chip reading and writing mechanism, and writes the second card information into the semi-finished card.

[0037] After the chip reading and writing mechanism is called to write the second card information on the semi-finished card, step S18 is executed to call the color printing mechanism to print the color printing information on the card surface of the semi-finished card. The color printing information includes the second user information and the photo information. The second user information includes the user's name, etc. Since the second user information and the photo information have color information, the monochrome printing mechanism cannot be used at this time, that is, the color printing mechanism is used for printing to avoid the loss of the color information of the photo.

[0038] After the color printing mechanism is called to print the color printing information on the card surface of the semi-finished card, step S19 is executed to perform a laminating operation on the semi-finished card. At this time, the smart card manufacturing process has been completed, so the smart card is laminated. In this embodiment, the laminating operation is performed only after the color printing information is printed on the card surface of the semi-finished card. That is, each time the smart card manufacturing method is executed, the laminating operation is performed only after the color printing information is printed on the card surface of the semi-finished card.

[0039] After the semi-finished card is laminated, step S20 is executed to output the smart card, wherein the main control unit calls the card input and output mechanism to output the smart card to the card output port, and the user can take the smart card.

[0040] When printing financial text information, this embodiment uses monochrome printing to print on blank cards, which can reduce printing costs. After using the monochrome printing mechanism to print financial text information on blank cards, before entering the second card making operation step, the semi-finished card is not directly laminated. When the semi-finished card is printed with color printing information, the color printing mechanism is called to print on the semi-finished card, and the card surface after the first printing that is not laminated is printed, which can reduce the waste of cards due to poor printing effects after printing after lamination, and reduce the waste card rate.

[0041] Computer readable storage medium embodiment: The method for making a smart card in a computer device described in the above embodiment can be stored in a computer-readable storage medium in the form of a computer program. When the computer program is executed by a processor, the steps of the method embodiment of making a smart card in the above card making device can be completed. The computer-readable medium can be a computer-readable signal medium or a computer-readable storage medium. The computer-readable storage medium can be, for example, but not limited to: an electrical, magnetic, optical, electromagnetic, infrared, or semiconductor system, device or device, or any combination of the above.
