Abstract

A personal identification system for collating an article requiring personal identification with a person using the article has a personal identification data reader for reading the image of a characteristic portion of a human body capable of identifying a person such as his fingerprint and digitizing the image data. Moreover, the system has a label printer for printing the personal identification data on a label as two-dimensional data codes and the personal identification data printed on the label is read by a label data reader serving as a two-dimensional data code reader. The personal identification data read by the personal identification data reader and acceptance or rejection of the collation result is decided. These operation histories are recorded and preserved in a hard disk.

Claims

1. A personal identification system for self-blood transfusion, comprising a first room for controlling a patient'"'"'s information, a second room for collecting blood from the patient into a blood bag, and a third room for transfusing the blood held in the bag into the patient, wherein the first room is provided with personal identification data read means for reading an image of a characteristic portion of a human body capable of identifying a person and digitizing the image;

input means of personal information;

means for combining personal identification data read by the personal identification data read means and personal information input by the input means, and converting to two-dimensional data code;

printing means for printing the two-dimensional data code on a label for clinical chart; and

data record and preservation means for recording and preserving information processing data including said personal identification data, personal information and operation history data;

the second room is provided with label data read means for reading personal identification data from the label for the clinical chart printed in said first room;

personal identification data read means for reading an image of a characteristic portion of a human body capable of identifying a person and digitizing the image;

input means of personal information;

personal identification data collation means for collating the personal identification data read by the label data read means with the personal identification data read by said personal identification data read means to decide acceptance or rejection of a collation result; and

print means for converting the personal identification data read by the personal identification data read means and the personal information input by the input means to two-dimensional data code to print on the label for the blood bag;

the third room is provided with label data read means for reading the personal identification data from the label of the blood bag collected in said second room;

personal identification data read means for reading an image of a characteristic portion of a human body capable of identifying a person and digitalizing the image; and

personal identification data collation means for collating the personal identification data on said label read by the label data read means with the personal identification data read by said personal identification data read means to decide acceptance or rejection of a collation result.

2. The personal identification system as defined in claim 1, wherein data sending and receiving means is provided for sending and receiving information processing data of the second and third rooms to and from the data memory and preservation means of the first room.
