Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a recording medium and a notebook for recording an acquisition right for obtaining a value, and a value management system using the notebook.

Background Art

[0002] Conventionally, notebooks for storing so-called points that can be converted into goods, electronic money, or cash, and point cards as recording media are known. For example, a customer card for promoting store visits that combines a stamp rally and a point ticket function (Patent Document 1) arranges stamp imprinting columns side by side, and the total is calculated by counting the number of imprinted columns that guarantee point awarding. Also, by checking the imprinting of the imprinting column provided adjacent to the barcode and reading the barcode, a predetermined number of points are awarded.

[0003] On the other hand, public institutions such as local governments distribute point notebooks for the purpose of promoting the health and physical strength of the elderly. The elderly who participate in health events in health management services such as calisthenics, rehabilitation gymnastics, and aerobics gymnastics can stamp a point on the point notebook they hold, count the number of stamps, and award the total number of points, aiming to improve health by a method that can be exchanged for electronic money, merchandise vouchers, or prizes.

Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0021] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0022] Embodiment 1.

[0023] In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a point collection card (paper recording medium). On the card 1, a plurality of sections 2 for recording the right to acquire points (a single value) are arranged in an orderly grid pattern and formed by printing. As shown in FIG. 2, the section 2 is composed of a mount 3 of the card 1, a layer of dot codes (code information) (hereinafter referred to as the "code information layer") 4 provided by printing in the section 2 thereon, and a recording surface 5 for recording the acquisition right formed by being positioned and overlapped on the layer. Therefore, the recording surface 5 is the surface of the code information layer.

[0024] For example, when the user of the card 1 participates in an event hosted by the provider of the card 1 or visits a store, as shown in FIG. 3, in order to obtain points, the user is stamped or impressed with a seal 6 capable of acquiring points on the code information layer 4 of the section 2, and thus, it is recorded as an impression (acquisition right) 7 on the recording surface 5 of the section 2.

[0025] Also, in FIG. 4, reference numeral 8 denotes a reader (reading means) for reading dot codes for acquiring points. As shown in FIG. 5, the reader 8 irradiates the dot pattern (dot code) of the code information layer 4 with an LED 92 from the opening 91 at the tip of the code reading unit 9, optically captures the dot pattern through a lens 93 into an image sensor 94, converts the image into data in a decoder IC 95, and outputs it as data information or image data to the outside under the control of a control unit (not shown).

[0026] If the dot code in the code information layer 4 is composed of unique information that is different for each code information layer 4 of each section 2, and the dot code is associated with the section position information and the acquirable point (value information) for the previously arranged section 2, the image data or image conversion data output from the control unit of the reader 8 may be transmitted to an external device (not shown) as unique ID data (acquisition information) for determining the number of acquisition points associated with the section position information and the value information, or the image data or image conversion data may be transmitted as acquisition information as it is.

[0027] The code of the code information may be, in addition to the dot code, a geometric pattern, a barcode, a two-dimensional code, may be stealth-printed, may be printed with carbon ink, and may be irradiated with an infrared LED. Also, the code information may be an ID consisting of a character string or an arbitrary number, etc., may be a symbol representing the position of the section 2, and may be converted into an ID or a symbol. In the case of the method of reading the code information of each section 2, it may be a symbol representing the value given to the section 2. Also, a dot pattern may be used as the dot code. Also, for the acquisition right, in addition to stamping by imprinting, a transparent seal, a signature, a check mark such as a red dot, a master seal, a check with a writing instrument, etc. may be used. If it is a registered acquisition right, fraud such as unauthorized recording can be prevented. Further, the recording medium may be, in addition to a recording card made of paper or resin, a questionnaire sheet or a test answer sheet. Note that the value in the questionnaire can be regarded as obtaining a prize or information, and the value in the test can be regarded as an evaluation / tendency for the respondent.

[0028] Note that when the recording medium is a paper sheet-like recording medium, it can also be bound into a point notebook with multiple sheets. Also, in the case of a questionnaire sheet, prizes, etc. can be provided by reading the code information in the column where a mark such as a red dot is marked in the confirmation column of the questionnaire item. Further, in the case of an answer sheet, it can be used for counting the number of correct answers, etc.

[0029] In this embodiment, a section 2 is arranged by positioning a recording surface for recording an impression as the right to acquire points by stamping on a code information layer 4 provided so that code information for acquiring points can be read by a reader 8. Since there is no need to manually count the rights to acquire recorded in a section 2 of a recording medium or a notebook, value can be easily provided.

[0030] Also, in the information associating the code information of a plurality of arranged sections 2 with the section position information and value information for the previously arranged section, by reading the code information in the last section 2 in which the right to acquire is recorded, the number of impressions from the impression at the position of the first section 2 to the section position of the last impression can be obtained, and the number of points that can be acquired from the number of impressions and the number of unit points can be determined.

[0031] Embodiment 2.

[0032] In FIGS. 6 and 7, the same reference numerals as those in the first embodiment denote the same or corresponding parts. Reference numeral 10 denotes a point notebook for recording participation in an event or the like for the purpose of promoting the health of the elderly. As shown in FIG. 2, one page is formed as a recording surface 5 for recording the right to acquire points, and a section 2 is arranged which is formed so that code information for acquiring points can be read by a reader 8. On the front cover, the owner information of the notebook 10 is printed, and code information representing the owner is provided so as to be readable by a reader 8.

[0033] In FIG. 7, (a) shows a page in which one point is associated with one section 2 of a double-page spread of the notebook 10, and (b) shows a page in which two points are associated with one section 2, and two sections 2 arranged on a page on which bonus points can be obtained, for example, regarding participation in events or health checkups. One page 101 in which a plurality of sections 2 provided with code information for obtaining 1 unit of points (one value) are arranged neatly in a grid, another page 102 in which a plurality of other sections 2 provided with code information for obtaining 2 units of points (another value different from the one value) are arranged neatly in a grid, and one page 103 provided with a section 2 from which bonus points can be obtained are bound together.

[0034] The code information of the section 2 in the page 101 and the page 102 is information that associates the section position information and the value information with respect to the previously arranged section 2. As shown in FIG. 8, the code information in the last section 2 of the shading is read by the reader 8. For example, in FIG. 8, in this page, shading is recorded up to the third section counted from the first section 2, and the code information in the third section is information associated with the value "3" which is the third from the beginning and the value "1" to which 1 point is given for one shading in this page. By reading the third code information, the awarding of 3 points of 3×1 is determined. Therefore, the code information of each section 2 is information specific to its position.

[0035] Note that the issuer of the notebook may be a planning company that hosts a health management event or a local government, and the distribution destination may be residents of a predetermined age or older who have completed membership registration.

[0036] Embodiment 3.

[0037] In this embodiment, a value management system that aggregates points and records them for each owner of a notebook will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 8. The same reference numerals as those in Embodiments 1 and 2 indicate the same or corresponding parts. The value management system shown in FIG. 9 includes a point notebook 10 (see FIGS. 6 and 7) distributed to participants in the elderly health promotion activities planned by the local government, a reader 8 (see FIGS. 4 and 5) that reads the code information stealth-printed on the notebook 10 and transmits it to a management device described later, and a tablet (management device) 11 that issues points corresponding to the participants to whom the notebook 8 is distributed according to the code information transmitted from the reader 8 or information based on the code information. Note that the information based on the code information may be the code information or an ID.

[0038] The notebook 10 is a booklet formed by binding pages shown in FIG. 7 in which a plurality of sections 2 are arranged side by side. Each section 2 is formed as a recording surface 5 for recording the right to obtain points. The recording surface 5 is positioned on top of a code information layer 4 formed by stealth printing so that the code information for obtaining points can be read by the reader 8. An information code capable of identifying the participant is stealth-printed on the front cover of the notebook 10, and the name is printed. Also, the code information of each section 2 is unique code information for each section, and the section position information and value information for a section arranged ahead of the section where the code information is provided are associated. Note that the participant (owner of the notebook) printed on the notebook is a registered elderly person, and membership registration may be automatically performed sequentially using, for example, a resident database by meeting the target age.

[0039] As shown in FIG. 10, the reader 8 includes a code reading unit 9 that optically reads the code information of the code information layer 4 by imaging, a pattern storage unit 12 that stores ID data corresponding to each code information, and a control unit 14 that converts the read code information into ID data and controls to transmit it to the tablet 11 via the transmission / reception unit 13 in accordance with BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) communication. Note that 15 is a program storage unit that stores a program for executing these processes. Further, a speaker that emits a beep sound or the like for notifying a reading confirmation may be incorporated. Note that dot patterns or character strings as code information may be output to the outside as image data.

[0040] As shown in FIG. 11, the tablet 11 is provided with a touch panel display unit 16 on the surface thereof, and includes a network communication unit 17 that establishes wired / wireless communication with a network such as a computer network or the Internet, a Bluetooth (registered trademark) communication unit (hereinafter referred to as "BLE communication unit") 18 that establishes BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) communication with the reader 8, a distribution information database 19 that records user information of a notebook holder who is a registered participant to whom the notebook 10 has been distributed, release information of the notebook 10, etc., and a point information database 20 that records partition position information and value information based on the code information. A database storage unit 21 that stores these is provided. Then, the control unit 22 controls the touch panel display unit 16, a home button (not shown), a displayed selection / determination button, the network communication unit 17, the BLE communication unit 18, a built-in camera (not shown), an I / O interface (not shown), etc. By the control of the control unit 22, the tablet built-in OS is executed, a screen for operating an application that totals points is displayed on the touch panel display unit 16, and an embedded application, the application, etc. stored in the program storage unit 23 are executed. Further, the control unit 22 controls to pass the position coordinate information to the OS as a touch event for the capacitance change generated in the touch panel display unit 16. Note that the management device may be a portable computer typified by a notebook PC in addition to a smart device such as a tablet.

[0041] In the distribution information database 19, the issue information and owner information of the notebook 10 are stored. For example, as shown in Fig. 12(a), a notebook information list 24 that records the ID for identifying the distributed notebook, the annual ID indicating the issue year, the owner ID of the notebook, and other incidental information, an owner information list 25 that records the user ID and other incidental information associated with the annual ID and owner ID of the notebook information list 24, and a user information list 26 that records the name, age, contact information (address, telephone number, etc.), seal imprint record (number of acquired points), and other incidental information, etc., associated with the user ID of the owner information list 25, and a point aggregation information list 27 that records the aggregation date and time of points, point records (by type, total, etc.), and other incidental information, etc., associated with the user ID are stored.

[0042] In the point information database 20, as shown in Fig. 13(a), a mass information list (section information) 28 that records the mass ID, position of the mass, corresponding points, page type, and other incidental information of a section (hereinafter also referred to as "mass") 2 arranged in the notebook 10, and as shown in Fig. 13(b), a start and end mass range list (section position information for the previously arranged section 2) that records the start mass ID and end mass ID of each point, and a type information list 29 consisting of a point list (value information) provided by page type and page unit corresponding to the list are stored.

[0043] Next, the procedure for counting the imprints (acquisition rights) recorded on the recording surface 5 will be described.

[0044] The point notebook 10 is distributed from the local government to each participant at the beginning of the year. By participating in various health promotion events during the corresponding year, by engaging in volunteer activities, and by undergoing a designated health check-up, each time, an imprint as an acquisition right is recorded in a designated section 2 of one page. Then, the notebook 10 is collected at the end of the year.

[0045] In the point totaling operation of the collected notebook 10, an application for point totaling is launched on the tablet 11. The application executes operations such as specifying the displayed year, receiving and inputting the owner ID, receiving and inputting the mass ID, calculating and registering the number of points obtained from the mass ID, and displaying necessary information during that process.

[0046] First, the reader 8 reads the owner code information at the position where the owner information on the table cover shown in FIG. 6 is printed. The read code information is converted into an owner ID in the reader 8 and transmitted from the transceiver unit 13 to the tablet 11. On the tablet 11 that has received the owner ID from the BLE communication unit 18, under the control of the control unit 22, based on the notebook information list 24, the notebook information corresponding to the received owner ID is displayed, the issue year is confirmed from the displayed notebook information, and based on the owner information list 25 using the owner ID as a search key, the owner information is displayed. From the displayed owner information, the user ID is obtained, and the user information in the user information list 26 associated with the user ID is displayed. Note that the owner information may be displayed from the owner ID and the user information associated with the user ID may be displayed.

[0047] Subsequently, after confirming the displayed user information, for example, as shown in FIG. 8, impressions are recorded up to the third one counted from the first section 2. By reading the code information in the section 2 with the reader 8, the tablet 11 receives the mass ID associated with the section position information and the value information based on the code information. Based on the mass ID, from the mass information list 28 and the type information list 29, the value "3" which is the third one from the beginning on the reading and recording surface 5 and the value "1" which is 1 point given for one impression on this page are obtained. From the number of impressions and the corresponding points, 3 points (acquired value) of 3×1 are determined and, as shown in FIG. 14, the number of points is displayed. Also, FIG. 15 shows a page with 2 points given.

[0048] The above operations are repeated. As shown in FIGS. 14 and 15, the number of points per page is displayed on the tablet 11. For example, by selecting the totalization, the total points are displayed (see FIG. 16), and are saved corresponding to the notebook 10 according to the corresponding user ID in the point totalization information list 27. Thus, based on the total number of points obtained, it can also be converted into electronic money, prizes, gift certificates, discount coupons, etc.

[0049] Note that in the point information database 20, the mass information list 28 may not be present. Also, the notebook information list 24 and the owner information list 25 may be one database. If the notebook ID is included in the owner information of the owner information list 25, the notebook information list 24 may not be present, and the owner information list may be referred to as the notebook information list. Also, when adding points for each event, each time recording is made in the database, by saving the information on the position of the read section 2 and the position information of the section before the next reading of the read section, it is also possible to prevent fraud in stamping. Also, the point totalization information and the user information may be combined into one database.

[0050] Embodiment 4

[0051] In this embodiment, a value management system that relays and processes various data output from the reader 8 at a work terminal (portable terminal) and performs batch management on a management server composed of a computer will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 16. The same reference numerals as those in the above-described Embodiments 1 to 3 indicate the same or corresponding parts.

Once a year, 30 point books 10 are distributed to 30 elderly people (also referred to as "participants" or "users") aged 65 or above who live in the city from the local government. The elderly people 30 bring the books 10 and participate in the activities of the organizations registered as point-giving. The participating activity organization stamps the book 10 with a stamp 6. Then, after one year, the book 10 is returned from the user 30 of the book 10 to the local government. The collected books 10 are totaled by the staff 31 under the jurisdiction of the local government. Note that the number of points counted may vary depending on the activities participated in.

[0053] As shown in FIG. 17, the point management system (hereinafter, also simply referred to as the "management system") 32 includes the book 10 in Embodiments 1 to 3, a reader 8, a mobile terminal 33, a book information list 34 (see FIG. 18) including the book information list 24 and the owner information list 25 shown in FIG. 12, a user information list 26, a point total information list 27, the mass information list (section information) 28 and the type information list (section position information, value information) 29 shown in FIG. 13, and further, a point management server (hereinafter, also simply referred to as the "management server") 36 composed of a so-called computer that stores the staff information list (see FIG. 19) 35 recording the personal information and ID of the staff 31 as a database.

[0054] Similar to the tablet 11 in Embodiment 3, the mobile terminal 33 includes a touch panel display unit 16, a network communication unit 17, a BLE communication unit 18 that establishes communication with the reader 8, a control unit 22, a program storage unit 23, and in addition, a built-in camera (not shown) and an I / O interface (not shown). Further, instead of the database storage unit 21 in the tablet 11, a storage unit 21 that stores an ID (information based on code information) corresponding to the code information is provided. Note that the database storage unit 21 in the tablet 11 may be included in the storage unit 21. The mobile terminal may be a portable computer represented by a notebook PC in addition to a smart device.

[0055] In the program storage unit 23 in the present embodiment, various code information is received from the reader 8, and the code information is, or the code information is converted into an ID and transmitted to the management server 36, and user information, section position information, and value information are received from the management server 36, and points are aggregated, and the result is transmitted to the management server 36. A point count program is stored.

[0056] As shown in FIG. 18, the management server 36 includes a communication unit 37 that establishes wired / wireless communication, a database storage unit 38 that stores the various data (notebook information list 34, user information list 26, point aggregation information list 27, mass information list 28, type information list 29, staff information list 35), a control unit 39 that controls the database based on the point count program (application), and a program information storage unit 40 that stores built-in applications and the like and the application.

[0057] Based on the staff information list 37 related to the staff 31 such as personal information of the staff's name and ID stored in the database storage unit 38, a staff card 41 printed with the code information corresponding to the staff information is distributed to the staff 31.

[0058] Next, the point notebook count procedure will be described with reference to FIGS. 17 to 23.

[0059] Staff member 31 touches the icon 42 of the point count application displayed on the touch panel display unit 16 (see FIG. 11) of the mobile terminal 33 to start the application. First, a specific program for identifying the point aggregation person starts, and a staff card reading screen 43 is displayed (step s01). On the reading screen 43, the reader 8 is operated by the staff member 31 to read the code information provided on the staff card 41, and the code information is transmitted from the reader 8 to the mobile terminal 33 (step s02). The mobile terminal 33 that has received the code information stores the received code information in the storage unit 21 as the code information in the card 41 (step s03), and then queries the management server 36 for staff information based on the code information in order to obtain the information of the staff member 31 associated with the code information (step s04). The management server 36 obtains the corresponding staff ID in the staff information list 35 based on the ID as the received code information (step s05), and transmits the corresponding staff information (see FIG. 19) to the mobile terminal 33 (step s06). The mobile terminal 33 that has received the staff information displays the staff information such as the name on the touch panel display unit 16 (step s07). As a result, the staff member 31 can confirm the consistency between the information in the staff card 41 and the received staff information, and by touching the "OK" button on the screen 44, the information of the point aggregation person is held in the storage unit 21 in correspondence with the code information (step s08). If the displayed staff information is different from the worker who is operating, touch "Retry" to display the reading screen 43 of step s01.

[0060] Subsequently, the point aggregation program starts, and a point input screen 45 is displayed on the display unit 16 (step s09). In a state where the screen 45 is displayed, the code printed in the annual part of the notebook 10 is read by the reader 8. As a result, the code information in the annual part is transmitted from the reader 8 to the mobile terminal 33 (step s10), and the mobile terminal 33 that has received the code information stores the code information in the storage unit 21 as the notebook 10 for which points are to be aggregated this time (step s11). Similarly, in a state where the screen 45 is displayed, the code printed in the name of the notebook 10 is read by the reader 8. As a result, the code information in the name part is transmitted from the reader 8 to the mobile terminal 33 (step s12), and the code information is stored in the storage unit 21 as the owner 30 of the notebook 10 (step s13).

[0061] When a transmission button (not shown) for annual / owner confirmation displayed on the point input screen 45 is touched, the annual code information and the owner code information stored in the storage unit 21 are transmitted to the management server 36, and the target year and the owner of the notebook 10 in that year are inquired (step s14).

[0062] In the management server 36 that has received each code information, the corresponding user ID is specified from the annual ID and the owner ID (see FIG. 12) registered in the notebook information list 34 according to the code information (step s15), information regarding the owner registered in the user information list 26 is acquired (step s16), and the user information is transmitted to the mobile terminal 33 at the response destination (step s17). The mobile terminal 33 that has received the user information stores the user information in association with the current point aggregation area that has already been stored (step s18), and the user information is displayed in the name field of the point input screen 45 (step s19). As a result, it is possible to confirm the coincidence between the owner name written in the notebook 10 and the displayed name.

[0063] With the name displayed on the point input screen 45, as shown in FIG. 7, the code information in the last cell (section) 2 of the imprint of the recording surface 5 on each page is read by the reader 8. Alternatively, the individually arranged cells 2 are read. Note that the code information in the cell 2 on each page is also associated with selection information for determining whether the cell 2 is a cell for performing continuous reading up to the cell 2 in the last imprint or a cell 2 to be read individually. The selection information is stored in the cell information list 28 for each cell and / or in the type information list 29 for each page. Thus, since the reading procedure differs according to the selection information, first, the read cell is determined. Note that the selection information may be included in the code information of the cell 2.

[0064] As shown in FIG. 8, the code of the last cell 2 on one page of the notebook 10 is read by the reader 8. Thereby, the code information in the cell 2 is transmitted from the reader 8 to the mobile terminal 33 (step s20). The mobile terminal 33 that has received the code information stores the code information in the storage unit 21 (step s21) and transmits it to the management server 36 (step s22). The management server 36 that has received the code information identifies the cell ID, the page type, and the selection information registered in the cell information list 28 according to the code information (step s23), and transmits the cell information registered in the cell information list to the mobile terminal 33 (step s24).

[0065] In the mobile terminal 33 that has received the cell information, it is determined whether the type of cell on the page is a continuous cell or an individual cell according to the selection information (step s25).

[0066] In the continuous squares shown in FIG. 21, in the mobile terminal 33, the square ID is transmitted to the management server 36 (step s26). In the management server 36 that has received the square ID, point information including the section position information and value information registered in the type information list 29 is specified according to the square ID (step s27), and the point information is transmitted to the mobile terminal 33 (step s28). In the mobile terminal 33 that has received the point information, the number of acquired points is displayed for each page as shown in FIGS. 14, 15, and 16 according to the position of the square, the unit point, and the type of page (step s29). Note that the determination of the selected type is made each time the reader 8 reads the square 2. Also, when the selected type is different for each page, the determination may be made for each page.

[0067] When the reading of the squares is completed (step s30), in the mobile terminal 33, as shown in FIGS. 16 and 17, the total number of points is displayed by touching the point total button (step s31). Then, by touching the transmission of the display screen, the point total information, the user ID, and the point records of each square are transmitted to the management server 36 (step s32). In the management server 36 that has received these information, they are saved in the point total list 27 corresponding to the notebook 10 and the user 30 (step s33).

[0068] In the individual squares shown in FIG. 22, in the mobile terminal 33, it is determined whether the point number is stored in the storage unit 21 after the square has been read (step s34). If it is a new read square, the process jumps to step s26. Note that if it has been read, an error display for the read square may be made (step s35).

[0069] Note that if data is automatically transmitted to the management server and the user information is displayed on the tablet screen by reading the year and the owner's ID without tapping the confirmation button, the year / owner confirmation transmission button may not be provided.

[0070] According to the present embodiment, since there is no need to manually count the acquisition rights recorded in one section of the notebook, value can be provided easily.

[0071] Also, an equivalent amount of money may be transferred to each corresponding account according to the total amount of points, which is the acquisition value of each user 30 stored in the point summary list 27. Furthermore, an effect of arousing the motivation for health management can be expected.

[0072] Embodiment 5.

[0073] This embodiment is a modification of the above-described Embodiment 1, and will be described with reference to FIGS. 23 and 24 with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5 as well. The same reference numerals as those in the above-described Embodiment 1 denote the same or corresponding parts.

[0074] In FIG. 23, reference numeral 1 denotes a stamp sheet (paper recording medium) used for a stamp rally. In the sheet 1, a section 2 for recording a stamp mark (acquisition right) that can be obtained by achieving a rally and obtaining a prize (one value) is formed at a distance.

[0075] When a rally participant brings the sheet 1 to participate in the stamp rally and has it stamped on the recording surface 5 of the section 2 by the stamper 46, a stamp mark 7 (see FIG. 3) is recorded as an acquisition right on the recording surface 5.

[0076] The stamper 46 has both the mechanism of the stamp 6 shown in FIG. 3 and the mechanism of the reader 8 shown in FIG. 5. Various devices in the reader 8 are built into the stamp 6, and as shown in FIG. 24, the opening 91 of the code reading unit 9 looks out from the printing surface 47 of the stamper 46.

[0077] In this embodiment, when the stamper 46 makes an imprinting operation on the corresponding section 2 at each point location of the rally and a stamp mark is recorded, if the position data of the section 2 is saved in association with the rally sheet 1, the progress status can be recorded for each rally sheet 1. Also, by simultaneously saving the position information of the section 2 to be imprinted next during the imprinting, the position of the section 2 to be imprinted at the next point location is already determined, and unauthorized additional imprinting can be prevented. Note that instead of the stamp sheet, a stamp base sheet or a stamp card may be used. Also, it may be configured to operate using the stamp 6 and the reader 8.

[0078] In the present invention, a plurality of sections are arranged side by side, each section being formed by overlapping a code information layer provided so that code information for obtaining one value can be read by a reading means and a recording surface positioned to record the acquisition right of the one value on the code information layer. A computer that stores the section position information and the value information associated with each other based on each code information in a notebook in which each code information is provided as information associated with the section position information and the value information with respect to the section arranged previously. A means for acquiring information based on the code information obtained through the reading means by a section in which the acquisition right is recorded overlapping the code information layer of the section, a means for storing the next section each time it is read, a means for determining whether it is the same as the section already stored when the section is read, and a value management program that functions as a means for outputting "OK" if it is the same and "error" if it is different can also be configured.

[0079] Also, a plurality of sections are formed by overlapping a code information layer provided so that code information for obtaining one value can be read by a reading means and a recording surface positioned to record the acquisition right of the one value on the code information layer. In a notebook in which the code information of each section is provided as information associated with section position information and value information with respect to a section arranged earlier, a computer that stores the section position information and the value information associated with each other based on each code information, a means for obtaining information based on the code information obtained through the reading means by a section in which the acquisition right is recorded overlappingly on the code information layer of the section, a means for determining whether a section in the obtained information is a section arranged earlier than the section and stored as a pair with the section, a means for determining whether the previous section is stored as having already had the acquisition right recorded if it is a paired section, and a value management program that functions as a determining means for determining whether a new value is to be issued depending on whether one of the paired sections has already had one value issued to the notebook or whether both of the paired sections have already had one value issued to the notebook can also be configured.

[0080] Furthermore, in the present invention, the management system may include a recording medium, a reading means for reading code information from a section arranged on the recording medium, and a management device for issuing a value corresponding to the recording medium according to information based on the code information transmitted from the reading means.
