Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an information carrying sheet. [Background technology]

[0002] In recent years, pressure-bonded postcards have been used, in which multiple pieces of paper having a fixed postcard shape are removably attached. A technology for providing audio to visually impaired people on such pressure-bonded postcards is known (see, for example, Patent Document 1). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2007-38466 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] In an information carrying sheet having a plurality of pieces of paper removably attached thereto, such as the above-mentioned pressure-bonded postcard, it is preferable to make it easy to recognize by touch that the plurality of pieces of paper are to be peeled off. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides: An information carrying sheet configured by connecting a first paper-ticket portion, a second paper-ticket portion, and a third paper-ticket portion in this order, The first paper-piece portion and the second paper-piece portion are folded with a connecting edge between the first paper-piece portion and the second paper-piece portion as a first fold portion, and are releasably attached to each other at least around the periphery thereof, a notch is formed on the edge of the first paper-piece portion opposite to the first folded portion; The second piece of paper and the third piece of paper are folded with the connecting edge between the second piece of paper and the third piece of paper as a second fold so that the first piece of paper releasably attached to the second piece of paper is sandwiched between the second piece of paper and the third piece of paper.

[0006] In the present invention configured as described above, when the folded second and third paper portions are unfolded, the first paper portion sandwiched between the second and third paper portions is exposed, and by peeling this first paper portion from the second paper portion, the information displayed on the adhesive surface between the first and second paper portions can be transmitted. In this case, a notch is formed in the first paper portion on the edge opposite the first fold, which is the edge connecting to the second paper portion, and so by touching this notch, it is possible to know that the first and second paper portions should be peeled from the edge where the notch is formed. Furthermore, since the notch formed on the edge of the first piece of paper is not exposed when the second piece of paper and the third piece of paper are folded, it is possible to prevent fingers or machinery from getting caught in the notch during transport, etc., and causing the first piece of paper and the second piece of paper to inadvertently peel off.

[0007] The first ticket may have a first machine-readable code provided in an area adjacent to the notch on the surface where the first ticket is attached to the second ticket.

[0008] In this configuration, the area where the first machine-readable code is provided can be recognized by touching the notch. Furthermore, since the first machine-readable code is provided on the surface of the first ticket where the second ticket is attached, the first machine-readable code cannot be read unless the first ticket and the second ticket are peeled apart. This allows the first machine-readable code to hold confidential information.

[0009] In addition, a hole may be formed in a predetermined area on the first fold portion so as to span the first and second piece of paper, and one of the first and second piece of paper may have a second machine-readable code carrying information that audio-guidance to peel off the first and second piece of paper that are removably attached, in an area adjacent to the hole on the surface opposite to the surface attached to the second piece of paper or the first piece of paper.

[0010] In this configuration, the area bearing the second machine-readable code can be recognized by touching the hole, and when the second machine-readable code is read, the user is prompted by audio to peel the first and second paper-ticket portions, thereby guiding the user to read the first machine-readable code.

[0011] Also, an information carrying sheet configured by connecting a first paper piece and a second paper piece, The first paper-piece portion and the second paper-piece portion are folded at a connecting edge between the first paper-piece portion and the second paper-piece portion as a folding portion, and are releasably attached to each other at least around the periphery thereof, a notch is formed in the edge of the first piece of paper opposite to the folded portion, and a first machine-readable code is provided in an area adjacent to the notch on the adhesive surface with the second piece of paper; a hole is formed in a predetermined area on the folded portion so as to straddle the first paper-piece portion and the second paper-piece portion; Either the first piece of paper or the second piece of paper may be configured to have a second machine-readable code provided in an area adjacent to the hole on the surface opposite to the second piece of paper or the surface to which the second piece of paper is attached, the second machine-readable code carrying information that audio-guidance guides the peeling of the first piece of paper and the second piece of paper that are removably attached.

[0012] In this configuration, the area where the second machine-readable code is provided can be recognized by touching the hole. Then, when the second machine-readable code is read, an audio prompt is issued to peel the first and second ticket portions. When the first and second ticket portions are peeled away, the first machine-readable code provided on the surface of the first and second ticket portions where they are attached becomes visible. Since the first machine-readable code is provided in an area adjacent to a notch formed on an edge of the first ticket portion, the area where the first machine-readable code is provided can be recognized by touching the notch. Furthermore, because the first machine-readable code cannot be read unless the first and second ticket portions are peeled away, confidential information can be stored in the first machine-readable code.

[0013] Also, an information carrying sheet configured by connecting a plurality of paper pieces, each of the plurality of paper-piece portions is folded with an adjacent paper-piece portion via a connecting edge at the connecting edge as a folding portion, and is releasably attached to the adjacent paper-piece portion at least around its periphery; One of the two paper-piece portions arranged at the ends in the connecting direction of the plurality of paper-piece portions has a notch formed on the edge opposite to the connecting edge with the other connected paper-piece portion, and a first machine-readable code is provided in an area adjacent to the notch on the adhesive surface with the other connected paper-piece portion, a hole is formed in a predetermined area on a connecting edge where one of two paper-piece portions arranged at the end in the connecting direction of the plurality of paper-piece portions is connected to the other paper-piece portion, the hole spanning the two adjacent paper-piece portions via the connecting edge; Of the two paper pieces arranged at the ends in the connecting direction of the multiple paper pieces, the paper piece having the hole formed on the connecting edge with the other connected paper piece may be configured to have a second machine-readable code holding information that audio-guidance to peel off the multiple peel-attached paper pieces is provided in an area adjacent to the hole on the surface opposite to the adhesive surface with the other connected paper piece.

[0014] In this configuration, the area to which the second machine-readable code is attached can be recognized by touching the hole. Then, when the second machine-readable code is read, audio prompts are given to peel off the multiple paper-ticket portions. When the multiple paper-ticket portions are peeled off, the first machine-readable code attached to the adhesive surface of the multiple paper-ticket portions is revealed. Since the first machine-readable code is attached to an area adjacent to a notch formed on the edge of the paper-ticket portion to which the first machine-readable code is attached, the area to which the first machine-readable code is attached can be recognized by touching the notch. Furthermore, since the first machine-readable code cannot be read unless the multiple paper-ticket portions are peeled off, confidential information can be stored in the first machine-readable code. [Effects of the Invention]

[0015] According to the present invention, a notch is formed on the edge of the first piece of paper, and by touching this notch, a person can recognize that the first piece of paper should be peeled from the second piece of paper from the edge where the notch is formed. Furthermore, because the notch formed on the edge of the first piece of paper is not exposed when the second piece of paper and the third piece of paper are folded together, it is possible to prevent fingers or machinery from getting caught in the notch during transport, etc., and causing the first piece of paper to be inadvertently peeled from the second piece of paper.

[0016] Furthermore, when the first machine-readable code is provided in an area adjacent to the notch on the surface of the first ticket where it is attached to the second ticket, the area where the first machine-readable code is provided can be recognized by touching the notch. Furthermore, since the first machine-readable code is provided on the surface of the first ticket where it is attached to the second ticket, the first machine-readable code cannot be read unless the first ticket and the second ticket are peeled apart, and therefore confidential information can be stored in the first machine-readable code.

[0017] Furthermore, in a case where a hole is formed in a predetermined area on the first fold so as to straddle the first and second paper-ticket portions, and one of the first or second paper-ticket portions has a second machine-readable code bearing information for audio guidance to peel the releasably attached first and second paper-ticket portions attached thereto, in an area adjacent to the hole on the side opposite the surface attached to the second or first paper-ticket portion, the area where the second machine-readable code is attached can be recognized by touching the hole. Then, by reading the second machine-readable code, audio guidance is provided to peel the first and second paper-ticket portions, and the first machine-readable code can be read.

[0018] In addition, by touching the hole, the area to which the second machine-readable code is attached can be recognized, and when the second machine-readable code is read, the peeling of the first paper piece and the second paper piece, or multiple paper pieces, is guided by audio, making it easier to recognize that multiple paper pieces need to be peeled off.

[0020] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0021] (First embodiment) FIG. 1 shows a first embodiment of the information carrying sheet of the present invention, where (a) is a front view, (b) is a cross-sectional view taken along line AA shown in (a), and (c) is a back view.

[0022] As shown in FIG. 1, this embodiment is a reply postcard 1 having a sheet substrate 10 and a pseudo-adhesive layer 20 laminated on a part of the rear surface thereof.

[0023] The sheet substrate 10 has a longitudinal shape and is composed of a communication piece 10a, an outgoing communication piece 10b, and a reply piece 10c connected in this order. The pseudo-adhesive layer 20 allows the pieces 10a and 10b to be peeled off after application, and is formed by applying, for example, a pressure-sensitive adhesive to the entire back surface of each of the communication piece 10a and the outgoing communication piece 10b.

[0024] The communication piece 10a is an example of the first piece of paper in the present invention. The communication piece 10a is foldably connected to the outgoing communication piece 10b via the folding portion 30a. As a result, the connecting edge between the communication piece 10a and the outgoing communication piece 10b forms the folding portion 30a. The folding portion 30a is an example of the first folding portion in the present invention. The communication piece 10a has a semicircular notch 41 formed on the end edge opposite the folding portion 30a. In addition, a circular hole 42 is formed on the folding portion 30a so as to straddle the communication piece 10a and the outgoing communication piece 10b.

[0025] A voice code 50b is displayed on the surface of the communication piece 10a in an area adjacent to the hole 42. When the reply postcard 1 is oriented so that the voice code 50b is adjacent to the left side of the hole 42, the hole 42 and the voice code 50b are located in an area adjacent to the lower right corner of the communication piece 10a. The voice code 50b is an example of a second machine-readable code in the present invention, and as described below, stores information that is output as voice when read by a device with a dedicated application program (hereinafter referred to as an app) installed. A background pattern 51 is printed on the surface of the communication piece 10a so as not to overlap the voice code 50b. Furthermore, one corner of the edge of the communication piece 10a opposite the folded portion 30a is formed as a peel start portion 43 from the outgoing communication piece 10b, for example, by forming a slit or by not laminating the pseudo-adhesive layer 20.

[0026] On the back of the communication piece 10a, a voice code 50a is displayed in an area adjacent to the notch 41. When the reply postcard 1 is oriented so that the voice code 50a is adjacent to the left side of the notch 41, the notch 41 and the voice code 50a are located in an area close to the bottom right corner of the communication piece 10a. The voice code 50a is an example of a first machine-readable code in the present invention, and like the voice code 50b, it holds information that is output as a voice when read by a device with a dedicated app installed. The back of the communication piece 10a also has a message field 12a. The message field 12a can display information to be sent from the sender of the reply postcard 1 to the recipient.

[0027] The outgoing letter piece 10b is an example of the second piece of paper in the present invention. As described above, the outgoing letter piece 10b is foldably connected to the communication piece 10a via the folding portion 30a. Furthermore, the outgoing letter piece 10b is foldably connected to the reply piece 10c via the folding portion 30b, with the end edge opposite the folding portion 30a forming the folding portion 30b and the reply piece 10c being connected thereto. The folding portion 30b is an example of the second folding portion in the present invention. As a result, the connecting edge between the outgoing letter piece 10b and the reply piece 10c forms the folding portion 30b. The front side of the outgoing letter piece 10b displays information 14b identifying it as the outgoing letter piece 10b, and also includes a correspondence information display field 11b for displaying the address, name, or title of the recipient of the reply postcard 1. The back side of the outgoing letter piece 10b includes a communication field 12b. The message column 12b can display information sent from the sender of the reply postcard 1 to the recipient.

[0028] The reply slip 10c is an example of the third piece of paper in the present invention. As described above, the reply slip 10c is foldably connected to the outgoing slip 10b via the folding portion 30b. A message field 12c is provided on the front side of the reply slip 10c. The message field 12c can display information sent from the outgoing address of the reply postcard 1 to the reply destination. The back side of the reply slip 10c displays information 14c identifying it as the reply slip 10c, and also has a reply destination information display field 11c for displaying the address, name, or appellation of the reply destination of the reply postcard 1.

[0029] The communication piece 10a, outgoing piece 10b, and reply piece 10c configured in this manner have the same length in the connecting direction of the communication piece 10a, outgoing piece 10b, and reply piece 10c, but only the communication piece 10a is shorter than the outgoing piece 10b and reply piece 10c. Furthermore, the lengths in the direction perpendicular to the connecting direction of the communication piece 10a, outgoing piece 10b, and reply piece 10c are the same for the communication piece 10a, outgoing piece 10b, and reply piece 10c. Furthermore, a pseudo-adhesive layer 20 is laminated on the back surface of the communication piece 10a and outgoing piece 10b.

[0030] The following describes how to use the reply postcard 1 configured as above.

[0031] First, the form of the reply postcard 1 shown in FIG. 1 when being sent will be described.

[0032] 2 to 4 are diagrams for explaining the form of the reply postcard 1 shown in FIG. 1 when being sent and received.

[0033] When sending the reply postcard 1 shown in Figure 1 from the sender to the recipient, first, as shown in Figure 2(a), the communication piece 10a and the outgoing communication piece 10b are folded via the folding section 30a so that the side with the communication section 12a of the communication piece 10a faces the side with the communication section 12b of the outgoing communication piece 10b.

[0034] Since the pseudo-adhesive layer 20 is laminated on each of the surfaces of the message section 12a of the message piece 10a and the message section 12b of the outgoing message piece 10b, the message piece 10a and the outgoing message piece 10b can be removably attached to each other across their entire surfaces. This makes it impossible to see the information displayed in the message section 12a of the message piece 10a and the information displayed in the message section 12b of the outgoing message piece 10b unless the message piece 10a and the outgoing message piece 10b are peeled apart. Furthermore, since the background pattern print 51 is applied to the surface of the message piece 10a, the information displayed in the message section 12a of the message piece 10a and the information displayed in the message section 12b of the outgoing message piece 10b are difficult to read even when the reply postcard 1 is visible through the background pattern print 51. Furthermore, the voice code 50a displayed on the message piece 10a cannot be read unless the message piece 10a and the outgoing message piece 10b are peeled apart. Furthermore, when the surface of the communication piece 10a on which the communication section 12a is provided and the surface of the outgoing communication piece 10b on which the communication section 12b is provided are removably attached, as shown in Figure 2(b), the hole 42 formed on the folding portion 30a is exposed as a cutout shape at the edge of the reply postcard 1, and the voice code 50b is positioned adjacent to the left side of the hole 42 in the area close to the corner of the reply postcard 1.

[0035] As described above, the communication piece 10a, the outgoing piece 10b, and the reply piece 10c have the same length in the connecting direction, but the communication piece 10a is shorter than the outgoing piece 10b and the reply piece 10c. Therefore, when the communication piece 10a and the outgoing piece 10b are folded via the fold 30a and releasably attached, as shown in FIG. 2(b), a predetermined gap is created between the edge of the communication piece 10a opposite the fold 30a and the fold 30b. As a result, the area along the fold 30b of the outgoing piece 10b is not covered by the communication piece 10a and is exposed as a step 31. Note that the step 31 is illustrated enlarged for clarity, but it occurs when the communication piece 10a is shorter than the outgoing piece 10b and the reply piece 10c. If the communication piece 10a is slightly shorter than the outgoing piece 10b and the reply piece 10c, the step will be slight.

[0036] 3(a), the reply piece 10c and the outgoing piece 10b are folded at the folding portion 30b so that the side of the reply piece 10c on which the reply destination information display field 11c is provided faces the side of the communication piece 10a on which the background pattern print 51 is applied. As a result, the outgoing piece 10b and the reply piece 10c are folded at the folding portion 30b so that the communication piece 10a, which is removably attached to the outgoing piece 10b, is sandwiched between the outgoing piece 10b and the reply piece 10c. Here, as described above, the outgoing piece 10b and the reply piece 10c have the same length in the connecting direction, but only the communication piece 10a is shorter than the outgoing piece 10b and the reply piece 10c. Therefore, when the outgoing message piece 10b and the reply piece 10c are folded via the folding portion 30b so that the communication piece 10a removably attached to the outgoing message piece 10b is sandwiched between the outgoing message piece 10b and the reply piece 10c, it is possible to avoid the end edge of the communication piece 10a opposite the folding portion 30a coming into contact with the folding portion 30b, making it difficult to fold.

[0037] Then, on one side of the reply postcard 1, as shown in Figure 3(b), the side with the message section 12c of the reply piece 10c is exposed, while on the other side of the reply postcard 1, information 14b indicating that it is the outgoing piece 10b is displayed and the side with the correspondence information display section 11b is exposed, as shown in Figure 4. As a result, the reply postcard 1 is sent to the destination according to the address and name or appellation displayed in the correspondence information display section 11b of the outgoing piece 10b.

[0038] At this time, as shown in Figure 4, although the hole 42 is exposed, the hole 42 is formed on the folded portion 30a so as to straddle the communication piece 10a and the outgoing communication piece 10b, so even if a finger or machine gets caught in the hole 42 during transportation, the communication piece 10a and the outgoing communication piece 10b will not inadvertently peel off from there.

[0039] Furthermore, by folding the outgoing piece 10b and the reply piece 10c via the folding portion 30b so that the communication piece 10a is sandwiched between the outgoing piece 10b and the reply piece 10c, the notch 41 formed on the edge of the communication piece 10a is not exposed. This prevents fingers or machinery from getting caught in the notch 41 during transport, etc., and prevents the communication piece 10a and the outgoing piece 10b from accidentally peeling apart.

[0040] Next, a method for using the reply postcard 1 shown in FIG. 1 at the destination will be described.

[0041] 5 and 6 are diagrams for explaining how the reply postcard 1 shown in FIG. 1 is used at the destination.

[0042] After the reply postcard 1 has been sent to the destination as described above, when the reply piece 10c and the outgoing piece 10b are opened as shown in Fig. 5, the communication piece 10a and the outgoing piece 10b are folded and attached via the fold 30a, and the hole 42 formed on the fold 30a is exposed as a notch on the edge of the reply postcard 1. Therefore, the hole 42 can be recognized by touching it with the finger 2.

[0043] Here, for visually impaired people, a notch is formed in the right edge of the sheet in the area near the lower right corner of the sheet, and an audio code is displayed adjacent to the notch on the left side of the notch, so that information can be communicated by audio by reading the audio code. Even in the reply postcard 1 shown in Figure 1, when the side on which the communication field 12a of the communication piece 10a is provided and the side on which the communication field 12b of the reply piece 10b is provided are releasably attached, if the reply postcard 1 is oriented so that the hole 42 exposed as a notch is located on the right edge of the reply postcard 1 in the area near the lower right corner of the reply postcard 1, the audio code 50b will be adjacent to the left side of the hole 42.

[0044] Therefore, the reply postcard 1 is oriented so that the notched hole 42 is located on the right edge of the reply postcard 1 in an area adjacent to the lower right corner of the reply postcard 1, and the smartphone 3 is held over an area adjacent to the left side of the hole 42. If an app that can output audio information by reading the voice code 50b is installed on the smartphone 3, the voice code 50b can be read, and the sender of the reply postcard 1 can notify the recipient of the information they wish to communicate by voice. If the voice code 50b contains information that guides the sender to separate the communication piece 10a from the outgoing communication piece 10b, even a visually impaired person can easily recognize when to separate the communication piece 10a from the outgoing communication piece 10b.

[0045] 5, when the reply piece 10c and the outgoing piece 10b are opened, the notch 41 formed in the communication piece 10a is exposed. Therefore, by touching this notch 41, it is easy to recognize that the communication piece 10a and the outgoing piece 10b are peeled from the edge where the notch 41 is formed.

[0046] When the communication piece 10a and the outgoing communication piece 10b are subsequently peeled apart, as shown in FIG. 6, the voice code 50a displayed on the adhesive surface of the communication piece 10a to which the outgoing communication piece 10b is attached is exposed, and the notch 41 formed in the communication piece 10a is positioned at the edge of the reply postcard 1. At this time, the area along the fold 30b of the outgoing communication piece 10b is not covered by the communication piece 10a and is exposed as the step portion 31. Therefore, even without forming a slit or laminating the pseudo-adhesive layer 20 as the peel start portion 43, the communication piece 10a can be easily peeled from the edge opposite the fold 30a of the communication piece 10a. Furthermore, by forming the notch 41 in an area adjacent to the peel start portion 43, the notch 41 is easily recognizable when peeling the communication piece 10a and the outgoing communication piece 10b.

[0047] Here, as described above, the notch 41 and the voice code 50a are positioned in an area close to the lower right corner of the communication piece 10a when the reply postcard 1 is oriented so that the voice code 50a is adjacent to the left side of the notch 41.

[0048] Therefore, the reply postcard 1 is oriented so that the notch 41 is located on the right edge of the reply postcard 1 in the area close to the bottom right corner of the reply postcard 1, and the smartphone 3 is held over the area adjacent to the left side of the notch 41. This allows the voice code 50a to be read, and the sender of the reply postcard 1 can notify the recipient of the information they wish to communicate by voice.

[0049] Furthermore, as described above, the voice code 50a cannot be read when the communication piece 10a and the outgoing piece 10b are peelably attached. Therefore, confidential information may be stored in the voice code 50a. On the other hand, the voice code 50b can be read simply by unfolding the reply piece 10c and the outgoing piece 10b. Therefore, for example, in addition to the information guiding the peeling of the communication piece 10a and the outgoing piece 10b, the voice code 50b may also store information indicating where the reply postcard 1 came from, what the notification is, and even information prompting the reader to read the voice code 50a after peeling the communication piece 10a and the outgoing piece 10b. On the other hand, the voice code 50a may also store personal information such as the name of the recipient of the reply postcard 1 and their My Number.

[0050] In this embodiment, the voice code 50b is displayed on the surface of the communication piece 10a opposite to the surface to which the outgoing communication piece 10b is attached. However, the voice code 50b may also be displayed on the surface of the outgoing communication piece 10b opposite to the surface to which the communication piece 10a is attached. Even in this case, the voice code 50b must be displayed in an area adjacent to the left of the hole 42 when the reply postcard 1 is oriented so that the notched hole 42 is located on the right edge of the reply postcard 1 in an area close to the lower right corner of the reply postcard 1. While such a configuration may be difficult to achieve with the reply postcard 1 shown in FIG. 1 due to the configuration of the surface of the outgoing communication piece 10b, it can be easily realized with other information carrying sheets.

[0051] (Second embodiment) FIG. 7 shows a second embodiment of the information carrying sheet of the present invention, where (a) is a front view, (b) is a cross-sectional view taken along line AA shown in (a), and (c) is a back view.

[0052] This embodiment is a reply postcard 101 that is folded in a different way from that shown in FIG.

[0053] 7, the sheet substrate 110 in this embodiment is configured by connecting a reply piece 110c, a communication piece 110a, and an outgoing communication piece 110b in this order. The pseudo-adhesive layer 20 is laminated on the entire back surface of each of the communication piece 110a and the reply piece 110c.

[0054] The outgoing piece 110b is an example of the first paper-ticket portion of the present invention. The outgoing piece 110b is foldably connected to the communication piece 110a via the folding portion 130a. As a result, the connecting edge between the outgoing piece 110b and the communication piece 110a forms the folding portion 130a. The outgoing piece 110b has a semicircular notch 41 formed on the edge opposite the folding portion 130a. In addition, a circular hole 42 is formed on the folding portion 130a so as to straddle the outgoing piece 110b and the communication piece 110a. Furthermore, the outgoing piece 110b has six so-called slots 144 formed along one edge in a direction perpendicular to the connecting direction with the communication piece 110a. In addition, a peel start end 143 at one corner of the edge opposite the folding portion 130a of the outgoing piece 110b is corner-cut.

[0055] The front surface of the outgoing piece 110b is provided with a destination information display field 11b for displaying the address, name, or title of the recipient of the reply postcard 101. The back surface of the outgoing piece 110b is provided with a communication field 12b, and a voice code 50a is displayed in an area adjacent to the cutout 41. When the reply postcard 101 is oriented so that the voice code 50a is adjacent to the left side of the cutout 41, the cutout 41 and the voice code 50a are located in an area close to the lower right corner of the outgoing piece 110b. Furthermore, one corner of the edge of the outgoing piece 110b opposite the folded portion 130a serves as a peel start portion 43 from the communication piece 110a.

[0056] The communication piece 110a is an example of the second piece of paper in the present invention, and as described above, is foldably connected to the outgoing piece 110b via the folded portion 130a. Furthermore, the end edge of the communication piece 110a opposite the folded portion 130a forms the folded portion 130b, and the reply piece 110c is connected to it, so that the communication piece 110a is foldably connected to the reply piece 110c via the folded portion 130b. As a result, the connecting edge between the communication piece 110a and the reply piece 110c forms the folded portion 130b.

[0057] On the front surface of the communication piece 110a, a voice code 50b is displayed in an area adjacent to the hole 42. When the reply postcard 101 is oriented so that the voice code 50b is adjacent to the left side of the hole 42, the hole 42 and the voice code 50b are located in an area close to the lower right corner of the communication piece 110a. In addition, a background pattern print 51 is applied to the front surface of the communication piece 110a so as not to overlap the voice code 50b. On the back surface of the reply postcard 110b, when the communication piece 110a and the reply postcard 110b are folded via the fold 130a, information 114a indicating that the communication piece 110a is a reply postcard 101 is displayed in an area facing the hole 144, and a message field 12a is provided.

[0058] As described above, the reply piece 110c is foldably connected to the communication piece 110a via the folding portion 130b. The front side of the reply piece 110c is provided with a reply destination information display field 11c for displaying the address and name or name of the reply destination of the reply postcard 101. The back side of the reply piece 110c is provided with a communication field 12c for displaying information to be sent from the sender of the reply postcard 101 to the reply destination.

[0059] The outgoing piece 110b, the communication piece 110a, and the reply piece 110c configured in this manner are identical in length in the connecting direction of the outgoing piece 110b, the communication piece 110a, and the reply piece 110c, as well as in the direction perpendicular to the connecting direction of the outgoing piece 110b, the communication piece 110a, and the reply piece 110c. In addition, a pseudo-adhesive layer 20 is laminated on the back surface of the communication piece 110a and the outgoing piece 110b.

[0060] The following describes how to use the reply postcard 101 configured as above.

[0061] First, the form of the reply postcard 101 shown in FIG. 7 when being sent will be described.

[0062] 8 and 9 are diagrams for explaining the form of the reply postcard 101 shown in FIG. 7 when being sent and received.

[0063] When sending the postcard 101 shown in Figure 7 from the sender to the recipient, first, as shown in Figure 8(a), the communication piece 110a and the outgoing communication piece 110b are folded via the folding section 130a so that the side of the communication piece 110a with the communication section 12a faces the side of the outgoing communication piece 110b with the communication section 12b facing each other.

[0064] Since the pseudo-adhesive layer 20 is laminated on each of the surfaces of the message section 12a of the message piece 110a and the message section 12b of the outgoing message piece 110b, the message piece 110a and the outgoing message piece 110b can be removably attached to each other across their entire surfaces. This makes it impossible to see the information displayed in the message section 12a of the message piece 110a and the information displayed in the message section 12b of the outgoing message piece 110b unless the message piece 110a and the outgoing message piece 110b are peeled away from each other. In addition, since the background pattern print 51 is applied to the surface of the message piece 110a, the information displayed in the message section 12a of the message piece 110a and the information displayed in the message section 12b of the outgoing message piece 110b are difficult to see even when the reply postcard 101 is visible through the surface. Furthermore, the voice code 50a displayed on the outgoing message piece 110b cannot be read unless the communication piece 110a and the outgoing message piece 110b are peeled apart. When the side of the communication piece 110a on which the message field 12a is provided and the side of the communication piece 110b on which the message field 12b is provided are removably attached, as shown in Figure 8(b), the hole 42 formed on the folded portion 130a is exposed as a notch at the edge of the reply postcard 101. Furthermore, the information 114a displayed on the communication piece 110a becomes visible through the hole 144.

[0065] 9(a), the reply piece 110c and the communication piece 110a are folded at the folding section 130b so that the side of the reply piece 110c on which the reply destination information display field 11c is provided faces the side of the communication piece 110a on which the background pattern print 51 is applied. As a result, the outgoing piece 110b, the communication piece 110a, and the reply piece 110c are folded in a so-called Z-shape.

[0066] 9(b), the side of one side of the reply postcard 101 on which the destination information display field 11b of the outgoing piece 110b is provided is exposed, and the information 114a displayed on the communication piece 110a becomes visible through the hole 144. As a result, the reply postcard 101 is sent to the destination according to the address and name or appellation displayed in the destination information display field 11b of the outgoing piece 110b.

[0067] At this time, as shown in Figure 9(b), although the hole portion 42 is exposed, the hole portion 42 is formed on the folded portion 130a so as to straddle the communication piece 110a and the outgoing communication piece 110b, so that even if a finger or machine gets caught in the hole portion 42 during transportation, the communication piece 110a and the outgoing communication piece 110b will not inadvertently peel off from there.

[0068] Next, a method for using the reply postcard 101 shown in FIG. 7 at the destination will be described.

[0069] 10 and 11 are diagrams for explaining how the reply postcard 101 shown in FIG. 7 is used at the destination.

[0070] After the reply postcard 1 has been sent to the destination as described above, when the reply piece 110c and the communication piece 110a are opened as shown in Fig. 10, the communication piece 110a and the outgoing piece 110b are folded and attached via the fold 130a, and the hole 42 formed on the fold 130a is exposed as a notch on the edge of the reply postcard 101. Therefore, the hole 42 can be recognized by touching it with the finger 2.

[0071] Here, in the case of the reply postcard 101 shown in Figure 7, when the side on which the communication section 12a of the communication piece 110a is provided and the side on which the communication section 12b of the reply postcard 110b is provided are removably attached, if the reply postcard 101 is oriented so that the hole 42 exposed as a cutout is located on the right edge of the reply postcard 101 in an area close to the bottom right corner of the reply postcard 101, the voice code 50b will be adjacent to the left side of the hole 42.

[0072] Therefore, the reply postcard 101 is oriented so that the hole 42, which is exposed as a cutout, is located on the right edge of the reply postcard 101 in an area close to the lower right corner of the reply postcard 101, and the smartphone 3 is held over an area adjacent to the left side of the hole 42. This allows the smartphone 3 to read the voice code 50b, and the sender of the reply postcard 101 can notify the recipient by voice of the information they wish to notify. Here, if the voice code 50b contains information that guides the sender to separate the communication piece 110a from the outgoing communication piece 110b, even a visually impaired person can easily recognize when to separate the communication piece 110a from the outgoing communication piece 110b.

[0073] 11, the communication piece 110a and the outgoing communication piece 110b are peeled away from each other, and the voice code 50a displayed on the surface of the outgoing communication piece 110b to which the communication piece 110a is attached is exposed, and the notch 41 formed in the outgoing communication piece 110b is positioned at the edge of the reply postcard 101. At this time, although the communication piece 110a and the outgoing communication piece 110b have the same length in the connecting direction, the peel-off starting edge 143 at one corner of the edge of the outgoing communication piece 110b opposite the folded portion 130a is corner-cut, so that the communication piece 110a and the outgoing communication piece 110b can be easily peeled away from the peel-off starting edge 143.

[0074] Here, when the reply postcard 101 is oriented so that the voice code 50a is adjacent to the left side of the notch 41, the notch 41 and the voice code 50a are positioned in an area close to the lower right corner of the reply piece 110b.

[0075] Therefore, the orientation of the reply postcard 101 is such that the notch 41 is located on the right edge of the reply postcard 101 in an area close to the bottom right corner of the reply postcard 101, and the smartphone 3 is held over an area adjacent to the left side of the notch 41. This allows the voice code 50a to be read, and the sender of the reply postcard 101 can notify the recipient of the information they wish to notify by voice.

[0076] In this embodiment, the voice code 50b is displayed on the surface of the communication piece 110a opposite to the surface to which the outgoing communication piece 110b is attached. However, the voice code 50b may also be displayed on the surface of the outgoing communication piece 110b opposite to the surface to which the communication piece 110a is attached. Even in this case, the voice code 50b must be displayed in an area adjacent to the left of the hole 42 when the reply postcard 101 is oriented so that the notched hole 42 is located on the right edge of the reply postcard 101 in an area close to the lower right corner of the reply postcard 101. While such a configuration may be difficult in the reply postcard 101 shown in FIG. 7 due to the configuration of the surface of the outgoing communication piece 110b, it can be easily realized in other information carrying sheets.

[0077] Furthermore, in the present embodiment, an example has been described in which the outgoing slip 110b, which is an example of a first ticket, the communication slip 110a, which is an example of a second ticket, and the reply slip 110c are connected via the folds 130a and 130b. However, a configuration in which only the first ticket and the second ticket are connected via the folds may also be used. In this case, the length of the first ticket in the direction of connection with the second ticket may be equal to or shorter than the length of the second ticket in the direction of connection with the first ticket. With such a configuration, when the first ticket and the second ticket are folded and attached, only the hole 42 is exposed at the edge, allowing the hole 42 to be recognized by touch with a finger and the voice code 50b to be read first. Then, when the first paper piece and the second paper piece are peeled away, the notch 41 is exposed at the edge, and the notch 41 can be recognized by touching it with a finger, and the voice code 50a can be read.

[0078] (Third embodiment) FIG. 12 shows a third embodiment of the information carrying sheet of the present invention, where (a) is a front view, (b) is a cross-sectional view taken along line AA shown in (a), and (c) is a back view.

[0079] This embodiment is a postcard 201 in which three pieces of paper are folded in a so-called Z-fold and releasably attached to each other.

[0080] 12, the sheet base material 210 in this embodiment is configured by connecting an address piece 210a, a main body piece 210b, and an attachment piece 210c in this order. On the front surface of the sheet base material 210, a pseudo-adhesive layer 220a is laminated over the entire surfaces of the main body piece 210b and the attachment piece 210c, and on the back surface of the sheet base material 210, a pseudo-adhesive layer 220a is laminated over the entire surfaces of the address piece 210a and the main body piece 210b.

[0081] Address piece 210a is foldably connected to main body piece 210b via folding portion 230a. As a result, the connecting edge between address piece 210a and main body piece 210b forms folding portion 230a. Address piece 210a has a semicircular notch 41 formed on the edge opposite folding portion 230a.

[0082] The front side of the address piece 210a is provided with a destination information display field 211a for displaying the address and name or appellation of the recipient of the postcard 201. The back side of the address piece 210a is provided with a communication field 213a for displaying information to be sent from the sender of the postcard 201 to the recipient, and a voice code 50a is displayed in an area adjacent to the notch 41. When the postcard 201 is oriented so that the voice code 50a is adjacent to the left side of the notch 41, the notch 41 and the voice code 50a are located in an area close to the lower right corner of the address piece 210a.

[0083] As described above, the main body piece 210b is foldably connected to the address piece 210a via the folding portion 230a. Furthermore, the end edge of the main body piece 210b opposite the folding portion 230a forms the folding portion 230b, and the attachment piece 210c is connected to it, so that the main body piece 210b is foldably connected to the attachment piece 210c via the folding portion 230b. As a result, the connecting edge between the main body piece 210b and the attachment piece 210c forms the folding portion 230b. Furthermore, a circular hole 42 is formed on the folding portion 230b, spanning the main body piece 210b and the attachment piece 210c.

[0084] The front surface of main body piece 210b is provided with a communication field 212b for displaying information to be sent from the sender of postcard 201 to the recipient. The back surface of main body piece 210b displays information 214b indicating that it is postcard 201, and is provided with a communication field 213b for displaying information to be sent from the sender of postcard 201 to the recipient.

[0085] As described above, the attachment piece 210c is foldably connected to the main piece 210b via the folding portion 230b. The front surface of the attachment piece 210c is provided with a message section 212c for displaying information to be sent from the sender of the postcard 201 to the recipient. One corner of the edge of the attachment piece 210c opposite the folding portion 230b serves as a peel-start section 43 from the main piece 210b. The back surface of the attachment piece 210c is provided with a voice code 50b displayed in an area adjacent to the hole 42, and with a message section 213c for displaying information to be sent from the sender of the postcard 201 to the recipient. The hole 42 and the voice code 50b are located in an area adjacent to the lower right corner of the attachment piece 210c when the postcard 201 is oriented so that the voice code 50b is adjacent to the left side of the hole 42.

[0086] The address piece 210a, main piece 210b, and attachment piece 210c configured in this manner have the same length in the connecting direction of the address piece 210a, main piece 210b, and attachment piece 210c, but only the address piece 210a is shorter than the main piece 210b and the attachment piece 210c. Furthermore, the lengths in the direction perpendicular to the connecting direction of the address piece 210a, main piece 210b, and attachment piece 210c are the same for the address piece 210a, main piece 210b, and attachment piece 210c.

[0087] The following describes how to use the postcard 201 configured as above.

[0088] First, the form of the postcard 201 shown in FIG. 12 when it is sent will be described.

[0089] FIG. 13 shows the state of the postcard 201 shown in FIG. 12 when it is sent, where (a) is a front view, (b) is a cross-sectional view taken along line AA shown in (a), and (c) is a back view.

[0090] 12, the address piece 210a and the main piece 210b are folded at the folding portion 230a so that the side of the address piece 210a on which the message section 213a is provided faces the side of the main piece 210b on which the message section 213b is provided, and the main piece 210b and the attachment piece 210c are folded at the folding portion 230b so that the side of the main piece 210b on which the message section 212b is provided faces the side of the attachment piece 210c on which the message section 212c is provided. In other words, the postcard 201 is folded in a so-called Z-shape.

[0091] As shown in Figure 13(b), the surface of the address piece 210a on which the message section 213a is provided and the surface of the main piece 210b on which the message section 213b is provided are removably attached on their entire surfaces by a pseudo-adhesive layer 220b, and the surface of the main piece 210b on which the message section 212b is provided and the surface of the attachment piece 210c on which the message section 212c is provided are removably attached on their entire surfaces by a pseudo-adhesive layer 220a.

[0092] 13(a), the destination information display field 211a of the address piece 210a is exposed on one side of the postcard 201. As described above, the lengths of the address piece 210a, the main piece 210b, and the attachment piece 210c in the connecting direction are the same for the main piece 210b and the attachment piece 210c, but only the address piece 210a is shorter than the main piece 210b and the attachment piece 210c. Therefore, when the address piece 210a and the main piece 210b are folded via the folding portion 230a and releasably attached, the information 214b displayed on the main piece 210b becomes visible at the step portion 231 of the main piece 210b that is not covered by the address piece 210a and is exposed.

[0093] On the other hand, on the other side of the postcard 201, as shown in FIG. 13(c), the communication field 213c provided on the attachment 210c is exposed, and the voice code 50b displayed on the attachment 210c becomes readable.

[0094] Furthermore, when the side of the address piece 210a on which the message field 213a is provided and the side of the main piece 210b on which the message field 213b is provided are removably attached, the information displayed in the message field 213a of the address piece 210a and the information displayed in the message field 213b of the main piece 210b cannot be seen unless the address piece 210a and the main piece 210b are peeled apart. Furthermore, when the side of the address piece 210a on which the message field 213a is provided and the side of the main piece 210b on which the message field 213b is provided are peelably attached, the voice code 50a displayed on the address piece 210a cannot be read unless the address piece 210a and the main piece 210b are peeled apart.

[0095] Furthermore, as described above, the lengths of the address piece 210a, the main piece 210b, and the attachment piece 210c in the connecting direction are the same for the main piece 210b and the attachment piece 210c, but only the address piece 210a is shorter than the main piece 210b and the attachment piece 210c. Therefore, the hole 42 formed on the fold portion 230b is not covered by the address piece 210a and is positioned on the edge of the postcard 201. However, because the hole 42 is formed on the fold portion 230b so as to straddle the main piece 210b and the attachment piece 210c, even if a finger or machine gets caught in the hole 42 during transport, the main piece 210b and the attachment piece 210c will not inadvertently peel off from there.

[0096] In this way, the postcard 201 is folded in a Z-fold, with the address piece 210a and the main piece 210b releasably attached, and the main piece 210b and the attachment piece 210c releasably attached, and is sent to the destination according to the address, name, or appellation displayed in the destination information display field 211a of the address piece 210a.

[0097] Next, a method for using the postcard 201 shown in FIG. 12 at the destination will be described.

[0098] 14 and 15 are diagrams for explaining how the postcard 201 shown in FIG. 12 is used at the destination.

[0099] As described above, when the postcard 201 is folded in a Z-fold, with the address piece 210a and the main piece 210b releasably attached and the main piece 210b and the attachment piece 210c releasably attached, the hole 42 formed on the fold 230b is not covered by the address piece 210a and is exposed as a notch on the edge of the postcard 201. If the postcard 201 is oriented so that the exposed hole 42 as a notch is located on the right edge of the postcard 201 in an area close to the lower right corner of the postcard 201, the voice code 50b will be adjacent to the left side of the hole 42.

[0100] Therefore, as shown in FIG. 14 , postcard 201 is oriented so that hole 42, which is exposed as a cutout, is located on the right edge of postcard 201 in an area adjacent to the lower right corner of postcard 201, and smartphone 3 is held over an area adjacent to the left side of hole 42. This allows smartphone 3 to read voice code 50b, allowing the sender of postcard 201 to audibly notify the recipient of information they wish to communicate. For example, voice code 50b may contain information prompting the recipient to peel off address piece 210a from main piece 210b, and further, main piece 210b from attachment piece 210c. Reading voice code 50b can guide the recipient to peel off address piece 210a from main piece 210b, and further, main piece 210b from attachment piece 210c.

[0101] Thereafter, when the address piece 210a and the main piece 210b are peeled away, the voice code 50a displayed on the adhesive surface of the address piece 210a to the main piece 210b becomes visible, as shown in Figure 15, and the notch 41 formed in the address piece 210a becomes positioned at the edge of the postcard 201.

[0102] Here, when the postcard 201 is oriented so that the voice code 50a is adjacent to the left side of the notch 41, the notch 41 and the voice code 50a are positioned in an area close to the bottom right corner of the main body piece 210b.

[0103] Therefore, postcard 201 is oriented so that notch 41 is located on the right edge of postcard 201 in an area close to the bottom right corner of postcard 201, and smartphone 3 is held over an area adjacent to the left side of notch 41. This allows voice code 50a to be read, and the sender of postcard 201 can notify the recipient of the information they wish to communicate by voice.

[0104] In this embodiment, a postcard 201 having a sheet base 210 in which three pieces of paper, namely, an address piece 210a, a main piece 210b, and an attachment piece 210c, are connected together has been described as an example. However, a configuration in which four or more pieces of paper are connected together, and each of these pieces of paper is folded with the connecting edge as a fold to an adjacent piece of paper, and releasably attached to the other piece of paper. In this case, a notch is formed in one of two pieces of paper located at the end in the connecting direction of the multiple piece of paper, and a first machine-readable code is provided. In this case, the notch is formed on the edge opposite the connecting edge to the other piece of paper, and the first machine-readable code is provided in the area adjacent to the notch on the adhesive surface to the other adjacent piece of paper. In addition, a hole is formed on the connecting edge of one of the two paper-piece portions located at the end of the connecting direction of the multiple paper-piece portions and the paper-piece portion connected to it, and a second machine-readable code is provided in the area adjacent to the hole on the surface opposite to the adhesive surface with the other connected paper-piece portion of the paper-piece portion having a hole formed on the connecting edge with the other connected paper-piece portion.

[0105] In the above-described embodiment, a semicircular notch 41 and a circular hole 42 are used as examples, but these shapes are not limited to semicircular or circular.

[0106] Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, the plurality of releasably attached paper pieces are releasably attached to each other over their entire surfaces, but it is sufficient that they are releasably attached at least around their peripheries. [Explanation of symbols]
