Description

  The present invention relates to a printing device and a printing method for passbooks incorporating a wireless IC.

  In recent years, it has been carried out to increase the amount of information to be recorded or to improve security by incorporating a wireless IC in a card-like print target printed with unique description information such as owner information. .

  The printing device that prints the unique description information on the card has a built-in device for reading and writing data recorded in the wireless IC (hereinafter referred to as wireless IC reader / writer or wireless IC R / W). ing.

  In this printing apparatus, it is necessary to automatically perform printing on an object to be printed and reading / writing of the wireless IC in the apparatus so as to prevent a mismatch between the contents of the print data and the wireless IC data.

  In the future, it is conceivable that an object on which unique description information with a built-in wireless IC is printed is not only a card but also a bankbook. The proposal applies in this case.

By the way, if the object to be printed is card-like,
(1) The position where the wireless IC is incorporated is at most within a range of about 100 mm × 80 mm,
(2) The print side must be either the front side or the back side of the card.
From the relationship with the communication range of the wireless IC reader / writer, the positional relationship between the wireless IC reader / writer and the card at the time of reading / writing the wireless IC (hereinafter referred to as R / W time) can be determined almost uniquely. .
Japanese Patent Application No. 2003-94701

  However, there are the following problems when the printing object is like a bankbook.

(1) There are three possible cases where the position where the wireless IC is built is the front cover, the back cover, or the middle paper portion.
(2) Since the printing surface is often an arbitrary page inside the passbooks, when printing, there are cases where two pages of the passbooks are opened (size of about 150 mm × 200 mm). Many things,
When the wireless IC is R / W with the bankbooks open, etc., depending on which page of the two-page spread the wireless IC is built in, the reader / writer of the wireless IC and the bankbook stop position It was necessary to adjust the positional relationship.

  In order to eliminate the need for adjustment of the stop position, it is necessary to prepare a wireless IC reader / writer having a communication range of two spread pages. In this case, the reader / writer occupies a large volume. This is an obstacle to downsizing.

  Note that the capacity of the built-in wireless IC tends to increase, and as a result, the communication time for reading and writing the IC increases. As a result, the stoppage time of passbooks in the apparatus becomes long.

  In addition, when reading and writing the wireless IC in an open state, the conveyance path length for two pages of bankbooks is occupied, and in this case, the efficiency of the apparatus volume is deteriorated.

  The present invention has been made paying attention to the above circumstances, and the object of the present invention is to adjust the communication range of two pages of passbooks without adjusting the positional relationship between the passbooks and the wireless information processing means. It is an object of the present invention to provide a passbook printing apparatus and a passbook printing method that can perform information processing on a wireless IC without using a wireless information processing means.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the invention described in claim 1 includes a transport unit that transports a passbook with a wireless IC mounted thereon, and a print that prints information on the passbooks transported by the transport unit. Means and closing means for closing the passbooks on which the information is printed by the printing means;
Wireless information processing means for processing information on the wireless IC of the passbooks closed by the closing means.

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a conveying unit that conveys a passbook equipped with a wireless IC in an opened state, a printing unit that prints information on the passbooks conveyed by the conveying unit, and the printing unit. Inspection means for inspecting the printing state of passbooks on which information has been printed, closing means for closing the passbooks whose printing state has been inspected by the inspection means, and wireless ICs for the passbooks closed by the closing means Wireless information processing means for processing information.

  According to a third aspect of the present invention, there is provided a transporting process for transporting a passbook equipped with a wireless IC in an opened state, a printing process for printing information on the passbooks transported by the transporting process, and the printing process. A closing process for closing the passbooks on which information is printed, and a wireless information processing process for wirelessly processing information on the wireless IC of the passbooks closed by the closing process.

  According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, there is provided a transporting process for transporting a passbook equipped with a wireless IC in an opened state, a printing process for printing information on the passbooks transported by the transporting process, and the printing process. An inspection process for inspecting the printing state of the passbooks on which information is printed, a closing process for closing the passbooks whose printing state has been inspected by the inspection process, and a wireless IC for the passbooks closed by the closing process A wireless information processing step for processing information.

  The present invention prints information on the passbooks in an opened state, and folds the passbooks before performing information processing of the wireless IC. Therefore, the position where the wireless IC is incorporated is the coverbook of the passbooks. In addition, the information on the wireless IC can be obtained without adjusting the positional relationship between the passbooks and the wireless information processing means, regardless of the back cover, the inner cover, or the transfer direction of the passbooks. Processing becomes possible. Therefore, the apparatus can be miniaturized without increasing the size of the wireless information processing means and the need for a conveyance path length for two pages of passbooks.

  Further, since the closing means for closing the passbooks is provided between the inspection means for inspecting the printing state of the passbooks and the wireless information processing means for processing information wirelessly with respect to the wireless IC of the passbooks, the inspection means and the wireless information processing means The passbooks can be positioned in each of them, and the read operation of the passbooks and the read / write operation of the wireless IC can be performed in parallel, thereby shortening the processing time.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to embodiments shown in the drawings.
FIG. 1 is an overall configuration diagram showing a passbook printing apparatus 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

  The passbook printing apparatus 1 includes a passbook collection unit 4. A plurality of books are stacked and set in the passbook collection unit 4 in a state where the passbook T is closed. Yes. The taken passbooks T are transported along the transport path 3 by a plurality of transport roller pairs 2 as transport means. In the conveyance path 3, along the conveyance direction of the passbook T, a first OCR reading unit 5 as a first reading unit, a page turning unit 6, a direct printing unit 7, an intermediate transfer printing unit 8 as a printing unit, A second OCR reading unit 9 as a second reading unit, a folding unit 14 as a closing unit, and a wireless IC R / W unit 10 as a wireless information processing unit are arranged.

  Further, a discharge gate 11 for switching the discharge direction of the passbooks T between the first direction and the second direction is provided on the discharge end side of the transport path 3, and normal passbooks T are accumulated in the first direction. A normal stacking unit 12 and a defective stacking unit 13 for stacking defective bankbooks are arranged in the second direction.

  The above-mentioned passbook type import unit 4 can input a plurality of passbooks T in an overlapping manner, and only the lowermost one is picked up (not shown) according to an instruction from a control unit (not shown). Extrude and feed in the first OCR reading unit 5 direction.

  The first OCR reading unit 5 reads the passbook-specific serial number assigned to the passbook T from which the necessary page is opened by the adjacent page turning unit 6 from the beginning by OCR. The serial number is expressed in alphanumeric characters in a certain area.

  The page turning unit 6 has a function of turning the upper cover of the passbook T fetched from the passbook taking-in unit 4 and a function of turning the inner middle page. The turned pages are recognized by reading a bar mark printed on the passbook T from the beginning with a bar mark reader (not shown).

  The direct printing unit 7 prints information having a lower security level than the information printed by the intermediate transfer printing unit 8. Not all passbooks T are printed directly by the printing unit 7. Further, the page to be printed is different from the page to be printed by the intermediate transfer printing unit 8. For this reason, when printing in the direct printing unit 8 occurs, the page to be printed is first turned up by the page turning unit 6, and after direct printing, the page turning is performed again in order to turn up the page for intermediate transfer printing. Reversely transport to section 6. When there is no information printed by the direct printing unit 7, the passbook T passes directly through the printing unit 7.

  The intermediate transfer printing unit 8 will be described in detail later.

  The second OCR reading unit 9 reads the passbook serial number of the passbook T being conveyed and unique print information including the serial number information (for example, the color face image and security information of the owner).

  The folding unit 14 has a turning lever 14a. By turning the turning lever 14a upward, the front page of the passbook T that is conveyed with the two spread pages opened is bound. Rotate backward about the center and fold it into a closed state.

  The wireless IC R / W unit 10 performs wireless information processing on the wireless IC 43 of the folded bankbook T as will be described later.

  The normal passbook accumulation unit 12 stacks the passbooks T determined to be normal passbooks in a closed state, and the defective passbook accumulation unit 13 stacks the passbooks T determined to be defective passbooks in a closed state.

  FIG. 2 shows the intermediate transfer printing unit 8 described above.

  The intermediate transfer printing unit 8 is functionally configured to include an information printing unit (hereinafter referred to as a printing unit) 16 and an overcoat transfer unit (hereinafter referred to as a transfer unit) 17.

  As the printing unit 16, a thermal melt transfer printing method is adopted. That is, the intermediate transfer film 21 and the molten ink ribbon 22 are arranged so as to be sandwiched between the thermal head 19 and the platen roller 20, and information and the like are printed on the surface of the intermediate transfer film 21 by the intermediate transfer film 21 and the molten ink ribbon 22. .

  Features of this hot melt transfer method include high image durability and relatively easy application of functional materials to ink materials (eg fluorescent pigments, aluminum vapor-deposited thin films). Suitable for printed materials.

  The base film thickness and the ink layer thickness of the molten ink ribbon 22 are extremely important parameters for print dot reproducibility, and the total thickness of the ink ribbon is 3 to 25 μm, and preferably 4 to 10 μm.

  On the other hand, the thickness of the base film (to be described later) of the intermediate transfer film 21 and the total image receiving / adhesion thickness are parameters that affect the adhesiveness and film breakage characteristics. The thickness is preferably 25 to 50 μm.

  The platen roller 20 is a roller using a hard rubber material on the surface, and the reproducibility of minute dots improves as the rubber hardness increases, but at the same time, it is difficult to obtain the optimum positional relationship between the platen roller 20 and the thermal head 19. Become. For this reason, hardness is 75 degrees or more, desirably 85 to 97 degrees. At the same time, the surface roughness of the rubber surface polished also improves the reproducibility of minute dots as the surface smoothness increases. For this reason, the surface roughness is required to be about 1 μm or less, preferably about 0.5 μm, as the center line average roughness Ra.

  In general, the driving force for conveying the intermediate transfer film 21 is often provided with a driving mechanism on the platen roller 20, but the friction coefficient between the intermediate transfer film 21 and the platen roller 20 does not increase due to the hardness and smoothness described above. Not stable.

  For this reason, a film driving roller 23 is separately provided immediately downstream (on the heat roller side) of the platen roller 20. The film driving roller 23 is a roller having a hardness of 30 to 60 degrees, and the intermediate transfer film 21 should have a winding angle as large as possible with respect to the film driving roller 23. In the embodiment, the tensioner 24 is arranged so as to obtain a winding angle of 90 ° to 130 °.

  The tensioner 24 is provided with a spring mechanism (not shown), and tension is applied to the intermediate transfer film 21 within a limited movable range so that the film driving roller 23 and the intermediate transfer film 21 are always in proper contact with each other.

  The film drive roller 23 is accurately conveyed by a combination of a five-phase stepping motor, a timing belt, and a speed reduction mechanism using a pulley. The thermal head 19 is preferably a near-edge or corner-edge type head, and it is desirable to perform printing by peeling when heated.

  In addition, the transfer unit 17 includes a heat roller 35 and a backup roller 36 that are disposed to face each other via the bankbook transport path 3. The heat roller 35 can be accurately driven at a constant speed by a DC servo motor or a stepping motor, and a pressure generated by a coil spring 37 is applied between the heat roller 35 and a rotatable backup roller 36. .

  3A to 3C are cross-sectional views showing the configuration of the intermediate transfer film 21. FIG.

  The intermediate transfer film 21 shown in FIG. 3A is formed on the surface of a PET film 26 as a base material, on a hologram forming layer made of a transparent resin, a transparent hologram layer 28 made of a vapor deposition layer of a metal compound, and polyester as an image receiving layer / adhesive layer. The resin 29 is laminated.

  Also, the intermediate transfer film 21 shown in FIG. 3 (b) is a transparent hologram formed on the surface of a PET film 26 as a substrate, a phenoxy resin 27 as a release layer, a hologram forming layer made of a transparent resin, and a vapor deposition layer of a metal compound. A layer 28 and a polyester resin 29 as an image receiving layer / adhesive layer are laminated.

  Further, the intermediate transfer film 21 shown in FIG. 3 (c) is formed by depositing a phenoxy resin 27 as a release layer, a protective layer 30, a hologram forming layer with a transparent resin, and a metal compound on the surface of a PET film 26 as a substrate. A transparent hologram layer 28 by layers and a polyester resin 29 as an image receiving layer / adhesive layer are laminated.

  In addition, the intermediate transfer film 21 may be provided with a functional layer such as a fluorescent coloring layer that emits light by ultraviolet rays, and these functional layers may be transferred simultaneously with transfer to a transfer target.

  FIG. 6 shows the passbook T set in the passbook take-in section 4 in an opened state.

  On the upper page of the passbook type T, a passbook type unique number 42 is recorded as passbook type specific information. The passbook T has a built-in wireless IC 43.

  FIG. 7 is a block diagram showing a drive control system of the passbook printing apparatus 1 described above.

  In the figure, reference numeral 51 denotes a data input control unit, to which the printing apparatus 1 is connected. The data input control unit 51 is provided with a main control unit 52, and a memory 53, an interface unit 54, an operation panel 55, and an image input unit 56 are connected to the main control unit 52 through a control circuit.

  The printing apparatus 1 is provided with a device control unit 58 that includes a generation unit 58a as a generation unit and a determination unit 58b as a determination unit. The device control unit 58 directly prints an image via a control circuit. A processing unit 67, an intermediate transfer image processing unit 68, a heater temperature control unit 60, a passbook conveyance control unit 61, an image formation control unit 62, an optical character recognition unit 69, and a wireless reading / writing unit 73 are provided. .

  A head control unit 63 for controlling the printing operation of the thermal head 7a is connected to the direct print image processing unit 67 described above. A head controller 64 that controls the printing operation of the thermal head 19 is connected to the intermediate transfer image processor 66.

  The heater 65 of the heat roller 35 is connected to the heater temperature control unit 60 through a control circuit. A bankbook transport mechanism 2a, a bankbook take-in mechanism 4a, a page detector 4b, a page turning mechanism 6a, and a discharge gate controller 11a are connected to the bankbook transport controller 61 through a control circuit.

  A transfer ribbon transport mechanism 32a, a head moving mechanism 19a for moving the thermal head 19 and a rotating mechanism 35a for rotating the heat roller 35 are connected to the image forming control unit 62 through a control circuit.

  First and second reading optical systems 5 and 9 are connected to the optical character recognition unit 69. The wireless IC read / write unit 73 is connected to the wireless IC R / W unit 10.

  Next, the operation of the passbook printing apparatus 1 configured as described above will be described.

  First, only one passbook T is taken out from the passbook take-in section 4 shown in FIG. 1 and is transported to the page turning section 6 (conveying process), where the cover is rolled in a direction perpendicular to the stitches. 2 pages are opened. Thereafter, the passbook-specific information 42 of the passbook T is read by the first OCR reading unit 5, and the character recognition is performed by the optical character recognition unit 69. The recognition result is transmitted to the printing apparatus control unit 58. In the printing apparatus control unit 58, passbooks are stored in the color face image data of the holder acquired by the image input unit 56 sent from the data input control unit 50, the security character information of the holder input by the operation panel 55, and the like. Processing is performed by adding print data based on unique character information, and print data is generated by the generation unit 58a.

  On the other hand, at this time, as shown in FIG. 2, the intermediate transfer film 21 is unwound from the delivery-side reel 32, and a mark indicating the hologram position is detected by the sensor 33. Using this mark detection result, the intermediate transfer film 21 is controlled to the printing start position.

  Next, the above-described print data is printed by the thermal head 19 on the intermediate transfer film 21 at a predetermined position. The information to be printed is color printing by superimposing four colors of black in addition to the three primary colors of Y, M, and C. These multi-color overlay printing is performed by the intermediate transfer film 21 reciprocating the thermal head 19 as many times as the number of colors. In addition, the information to be printed is a reverse image. In addition to the above four colors, a functional ink such as an ink containing a fluorescent pigment may be applied as the printing color.

  The intermediate transfer film 21 on which the unique print information is printed in this way is wound in the forward direction (the direction of the heat roller 35), and the intermediate transfer film is detected by the transfer portion mark detection sensor 39 in the middle of the path as shown in FIG. The position of the film 21 is grasped. Based on this grasping result, the intermediate transfer film 21 is sent to the transfer start position.

  At this time, the passbook T is taken in as shown in FIG. 4B with the page to be transferred open, and is conveyed to a predetermined position with respect to the heat roller 35. The page to be transferred may be a cover-back page or another medium page.

  The corresponding pages of the intermediate transfer film 21 and the passbook T thus positioned with each other are combined with the rotation of the metal heat roller 35 having a shape with a part of the circumference cut away as shown in FIG. The pressure is applied simultaneously with the conveyance and the heating is performed. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 5, the transfer film base 26 is pulled up at an angle of 60 ° to 110 ° with respect to the bankbook T, and the transfer of the unique print information and the image receiving / adhesive layer 29 and the hologram layer 28 is completed. As shown in FIG. 8, the security information 46 including the passbook-specific information 45 and the color face image 44 of the owner are printed (printing process). The passbook T for which the transfer has been completed is conveyed to the next second OCR reading unit 9 with the page being opened as shown in FIG.

  The second OCR reading unit 9 reads the passbook type serial number of the passbook type T and unique print information including the serial number information (for example, the color face image and security information of the owner), and the optical character recognition unit 69 reads it. Character recognition. The recognition result is transmitted to the printing device control unit 58, and the printing device control unit 58 reads the passbook serial number read by the first OCR reading unit 5 and the same passbook serial number read by the second OCR reading unit 9. The passbook serial number woven into the number and the unique print information read by the second OCR reading unit 9 is collated, and if the collation result matches, it is judged as a normal passbook, and if the collation result does not match, some cause Therefore, it is determined that the bankbooks are not created normally (inspection process). Thereafter, the passbooks T are sent to the folding unit 14, and the turning lever 14a is turned upward, so that the front page is pushed up, rotated backward around the stitches, folded and closed. It becomes a state (closing process).

  After this folding, the bankbook T is sent to the wireless IC R / W unit 10, and if the bankbook T is a defective bankbook, the wireless IC R / W unit 10 has failed the wireless IC 43 of the bankbook T. Data indicating that it is present is recorded (wireless information processing step). After this recording, the passbook T is accumulated in the defective passbook accumulation unit 13.

  In addition, when the passbook T is a normal passbook, the operation differs depending on whether or not the specific information of the passbook T is recorded in the wireless IC 43 in advance, and the recorded information is different in each case. Describe the behavior separately.

  First, the operation when the unique information of the passbooks is not recorded in advance with respect to the wireless IC 43 is the first OCR reading unit as described in the printing operation of the intermediate transfer printing unit 8 described above. The optical character recognition unit 69 recognizes the passbook-specific information 42 read in step 5 and transmits the recognition result to the printing apparatus control unit 58. In the printing apparatus control unit 58, the passbook is stored in the color face image data of the owner acquired by the image input unit 56 and the security character information of the owner input by the operation panel 55 sent from the data input control unit 50. Processing is performed by adding recording data based on character information unique to the class, and recording data for the wireless IC is generated and transmitted to the wireless IC R / W unit 10. Thereby, the security information to which the passbook-specific information is added is recorded (written) in the wireless IC 43 of the passbook T by the wireless ICR / W unit 10 (wireless information processing step).

  When the writing operation (communication) is completed, it is verified whether or not data has been normally written. That is, the wireless IC R / W unit 10 reads the data written from the wireless IC 43 of the bankbook T for which recording has been completed, and compares it with the transmitted data. When the collation result is correct, the passbook T is conveyed to the normal passbook collection unit 12 and the passbook T is accumulated.

  If the verification result is not correct, the wireless IC R / W unit 10 records data informing that the bankbook is defective to the wireless IC 43 of the bankbook T in the same manner as the verification error in the second OCR reading unit 9. Then, it accumulates in the defective bankbook accumulation unit 13.

  On the other hand, if the wireless IC 43 of the passbook T is recorded with the unique information of the passbook in advance, the data to be recorded in the wireless IC 43 of the passbook T is also the first OCR reading unit. The passbook-specific information read in step 5 is recognized by the optical character recognition unit 69, and the recognition result is transmitted to the printing apparatus control unit 58. In the printing device control unit 58, the recorded color face image data of the owner acquired by the image input unit 56, the security character information of the owner input by the operation panel 55, and the like are recorded based on the character information unique to the passbooks. In addition, processing is performed to generate recording data for the wireless IC 43 and transmit it to the wireless IC R / W unit 10.

  The wireless IC R / W unit 10 that has received the unique information first reads the passbook unique information recorded in advance from the wireless IC 43 of the passbook T conveyed to the wireless IC R / W unit 10 to control the printing apparatus. The data received from the unit 58 is collated. If the collation result does not match and a collation error occurs, the first OCR reading unit 5 may have misrecognized the reading, and security data including unique information printed by the intermediate transfer printing unit 8 is stored. In the first place, it may be printed differently from the unique information that the passbooks had. In this case, the data is handled as defective passbooks, and the wireless IC R / W unit 10 records the data indicating the defective passbooks in the wireless IC 43 of the book T and accumulates them in the defective passbook accumulation unit 13.

  When the collation results match, the security data including the unique information sent from the printing apparatus control unit 58 is written on the unique information written in the wireless IC 43 in advance or overwritten (wireless information processing step). The subsequent operation verifies whether or not data has been normally written, as in the case where the unique information has not been previously written in the wireless IC 43 incorporated in the passbook T. That is, the wireless IC R / W unit 10 reads the data written from the wireless IC 10 from the passbook T and compares it with the transmitted data. If the collation result is correct, the passbooks are conveyed to the normal passbook collection unit 12 and the passbooks T are accumulated. If the collation result is not correct, the wireless IC R / W unit 10 records data indicating that the bankbook is defective in the wireless IC 43 of the book T and accumulates it in the defective bankbook accumulating unit 13.

  By the way, after the passbooks T sent out from the second OCR reading unit 9 are conveyed and folded in the state shown in FIGS. 9A to 9C or FIGS. 10A to 10C, Information processing for the wireless IC 43 is performed.

  That is, FIG. 9A shows that the passbook T has the wireless IC 43 built in the cover portion Ta and is transported with the thin page side forward, the thin page side is folded by the folding unit 14 and wirelessly transmitted by the R / W unit 10. The state in which the data processing of the IC 43 is performed is shown.

  In FIG. 9B, the passbook T has the wireless IC 43 built in the back cover Tb and is transported with the thin page side forward, the thin page side is folded by the folding unit 14, and the wireless IC 43 is folded by the R / W unit 10. This shows the state in which data processing is performed.

  FIG. 9C shows that the passbook T has the wireless IC 43 built in the inner paper portion Tc and is transported with the thin page side forward, the thin page side is folded at the folding unit 14, and the wireless IC 43 is folded at the R / W unit 10. This shows the state in which data processing is performed.

  The bankbook T shown in FIG. 10A has a wireless IC 43 built in the cover portion Ta and is transported in a state where the thick page side is forward, the thick page side is folded by the folding unit 14, and the wireless IC 10 is formed by the R / W unit 10. This shows the state in which data processing is performed.

  The bankbook T shown in FIG. 10B incorporates a wireless IC 43 in the back cover Tb and is transported with the thick page side forward, and the thick page side is folded by the folding unit 14 and wirelessly transmitted by the R / W unit 10. The state in which the data processing of the IC 43 is performed is shown.

  The bankbook T shown in FIG. 10C has a wireless IC 43 built in the inner paper portion Tc and is transported in a state where the thick page side is forward, and the thick page side is folded by the folding unit 14 and wirelessly transmitted by the R / W unit 10. The state in which the data processing of the IC 43 is performed is shown.

  As described above, according to this embodiment, since the wireless IC 43 is processed by the wireless IC R / W unit 10 with the passbook T closed, the space occupied by the wireless IC R / W unit 10 is As shown in FIG. 11, it suffices to have one page of bankbooks, and the length of the conveyance path of the bankbook T needs to be one page, and the apparatus can be downsized.

  Further, since a passbook folding unit 14 is provided between the second OCR reading unit 9 and the wireless IC / R / W unit 10, the second OCR reading unit 9 and the wireless IC / R / W unit 10 are provided. Each can have a passbook T. Therefore, the processing time of the reading operation and the reading operation can be overlapped by operating the reading operation of the bankbook T and the reading / writing operation of the wireless IC 43 in parallel, and the time can be shortened.

  If the wireless IC 43 is to process data without adjusting the stop position with the bankbook T open, as shown in FIG. 12, the wireless IC R / W having a width of two spreads is used. The unit 10 is required, the area occupied by the wireless IC R / W unit 10 is increased, and the apparatus is increased in size.

  Further, when the wireless IC R / W unit 10 having a width dimension for one page of bankbooks is used, a conveyance path length corresponding to the width of three pages of bankbooks is required as shown in FIG. Increase in size.

  Of course, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, but can be variously modified within the scope of the gist thereof.
