Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to control of image data of a form read by an image scanner 2 or the like when handwritten data written in a form of a fixed form such as a recruitment outline is registered in a database.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when registering handwritten data written in a form in a fixed format such as a recruitment outline in a database, image data of the form read by the image scanner 2 or the like is displayed on a screen. An operator or the like who registers in the database searches for necessary items on the screen and registers it in the database.

[0003]

In such a data registration system, for example, even when only necessary information from read form data is registered in a database or the like, image data of one form data is displayed on a screen. The data was registered while displaying and referring to the necessary parts found on the screen. In addition, if the information cannot be displayed on one screen, the user scrolls to find a necessary part and registers it. Therefore, it was troublesome to find necessary information.

[0004] In addition, for example, a job slip issued by each company includes information necessary only for a job hunting center that collects job information in addition to information necessary for job seekers. The Employment Center creates a recruitment list database for job seekers based on the recruitment slips submitted by each company, but for each company, information other than job offer information, which is the general content shown to job seekers, is confidential. It is often the case that one does not want to be shown to the data registration operator for creating the job list database. However, conventionally, form data such as a recruitment form is read by the image scanner 2 or the like and necessary information is found and displayed as data on the screen as image data. The screen could not be displayed.

[0005]

FIG. 1 is a system configuration diagram of the present invention for solving the above-mentioned problems. In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides an input device 3 for inputting data while looking at a handwritten form input as image data.
In a data management processing device 1 including a display device 4 and a storage device 5 for storing various internal tables and the like, form data having a certain format is input as image data from the image scanner 2 and a display target is determined based on the input image data. Format registration means 6 for registering the area to be performed for each form type, data registration means 7 for registering the form data as image data, and the display target area corresponding to the form type when data input for each form type is instructed. And data input means 8 for displaying only the image data and inputting the data. Therefore, according to the present invention, even if there is a large amount of form data written in a certain format by handwriting or word processing, it is possible to display only a necessary area on the screen by reading it as image data. .

The format registration means 6 registers the authority of the user to be displayed for each area to be displayed, and the data input means only displays the area corresponding to the authority of the user who instructs data input. Therefore, it is possible to limit the display range even for items described in the same form.

[0007]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In the present embodiment, a mode realized by a computer program executed on a computer used for general purposes such as a personal computer and a workstation will be described.

The computer is constituted by a processing device, a main storage device, an auxiliary storage device, an input / output device, and the like, and executes a computer program. The computer program includes a portable medium such as a floppy disk, a CD-ROM, or the like. The program is stored and provided in a main storage device or an auxiliary storage device of another computer connected to the network. The provided computer program is loaded directly into the main storage of the computer from the portable medium, or copied and installed from the portable medium to the auxiliary storage once, and then loaded and executed in the main storage. Also, when provided by being stored in another device connected to a network, it is also copied to an auxiliary storage device, loaded into a main storage device, and executed after receiving from another device via a network.

FIG. 1 shows a data management processor 1 according to the present invention.
1 shows a system configuration. The processing apparatus 1 according to the present invention includes a format data indicating a form of a form document, an image scanner 2 for reading form data, a display device 4 for displaying image data of the form read from the image scanner 2, a form image The input device 3 includes a mouse for designating a target area on the data display screen, a keyboard for inputting item information, and the like.

Next, the operation flow of the data management device of the present invention will be described with reference to the screens of FIGS. In this example, a job requisition will be described as an example of a form to be registered. Each company submits a recruitment slip stating the required items to the employment center that mediates employment, and the employment center stores the contents of the recruitment slip in a database so that appropriate employment destinations can be presented according to the job seeker's conditions. To keep
It is necessary to register a large number of job postings received from each company. The form of the job posting is a fixed format,
Because a document in which necessary items are embedded in a word processor in a format document, or a document in which necessary items are embedded in a form by hand, is submitted, the operator who registers in the database,
You need to input necessary information while looking at these job postings. In the present invention, first, format data is read by the image scanner 2 or the like in order to designate a display target portion of the form data in a fixed format, and is displayed as image data on the format registration screen 10 as shown in FIG. The data administrator who selects good information to be shown to the operator who performs the database registration operation designates an area in which necessary items are displayed from the image data of the entire form displayed on the screen with a mouse and a keyboard, and also specifies a corresponding item. A name 12 and an authority 13 for displaying information are input from an item attribute designation screen 11 shown in FIG. For example, in the recruitment slip, the business name, the telephone number to contact,
The initial salary is information to be registered in the recruitment information database and is information that may be shown to the operator who performs the database registration work. Therefore, the item name and the display area range are set so that the operator can refer to the authority as well as the authority. .
If there are a plurality of format sheets, the above process is repeated for the number of formats.

After the format is registered, a large number of recruiting slips received from each company are read from the image scanner 2. Since the designated area is different for each format, the form data is read together with the designation of the document in which the format is registered, and the image data for each designated area is registered. If it is necessary to check whether the area specified at the time of format registration matches the actual data, the data registration confirmation screen 14 shown in FIG.
May be displayed for confirmation.

After registering all the form image data, an operator who registers necessary information in the database inputs data while referring to image data of necessary items displayed on the screen. At the time of data input, first, a user ID 16 of an operator to be processed is input from a user designation screen 15 as shown in FIG. In order to allow only a user with a specific right to refer, a password 17 is required for each user ID.
May be specified. Next, when a document name for inputting data is designated, a data input screen 18 corresponding to the document is displayed. When inputting data relating to a job posting, for example, a data input screen 18 as shown in FIG. 6 is displayed, and image data 19 corresponding to input items according to the authority of the operator are displayed on the screen. While referring to the image data 19, the operator inputs data into the corresponding fields of the office name 20, the telephone 21, and the starting salary 22. Therefore, even if it is described in the recruiting slip, information such as the entry criterion indicating the examination criterion at the time of entry selection that is designated not to be shown to the data registration operator is not displayed. For the information on entry criteria, if you set the access authority at the time of registration of the area where the information is described to be higher than the data manager, if the employment center needs to refer to the entry criteria, Can be referred only to those who have authority over the data administrator.

Next, the configuration of the data table 54 registered and referred to by the data management processor 1 of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 7 shows the document management table 30.
Is shown. In this table, image data of the entire document is registered in advance for each document in order to specify the display target area of each document on the screen. It is composed of a document number 31, which is an identifier for specifying each document, a document name 32, and a basic file name 33, which is an image data file name read by the image scanner 2 or the like. If the contents to be registered in the database differ for each document,
If the input form name 34 which is the screen definition body name of the input screen for database registration is managed in this table, the registration screen corresponding to the description contents in the document can be obtained by referring to this table when registering the database. Can be displayed.

FIG. 8 shows a format management table 35. This table is registered in advance for each document in order to display only necessary items on the input screen at the time of database registration, and is a table for setting information of a designated area from image data of the entire form displayed on the screen It is. A document number 36 is an identifier for each document, an item number 37 is a serial number of each item, an item name 38 corresponds to a designated area, a coordinate value of a reference point indicating the area, a width and a height 39. In addition, even in the case of data in the same document, the authority 40 to refer to each item is set so that the item to be displayed can be changed by the referring person.

FIG. 9 shows a user management table 41.
This table manages the authority 43 for displaying necessary items on the input screen for each user ID 42 to be input at the time of database registration. FIG. 10 shows the data management table 44. This table is a table for storing the result of reading form data in which data is actually described after the format registration for each document. First, at the time of data registration, when the form data is read from the image scanner 2 as image data, the file name of the image data obtained by cutting out the area specified as the display setting item for each document defined in the format management table 35 of FIG. 48 and the file name 46 of the image data of the entire document are set together with the document No. 45 and the item No. 47.

FIG. 11 shows a form definition table 49 defining an input screen for each document type. For each input screen form name 50, the item name 51 of each field on the screen and
The input data type 52 and the corresponding field are defined by a field identifier field NO53. FIG. 12 shows a data table 54 of a database for storing input data. This data table 5
Numeral 4 stores items input for the field names of the form definition table 49 shown in FIG.
The data input to each field of the data input screen shown in FIG. 6 is associated with the field name corresponding to the field ID in FIG. 11 and stored in this table. In the case of this example, a business name 55, a telephone 56, a starting salary 57, an entry standard 58, and the like are set as field names.

Next, the processing flow of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. As described in the operation flow, in the present invention, since the purpose is to display only a necessary part of the form data, it is necessary to designate a display range for each form document in advance. Hereinafter, using FIG.
The flow of a format registration process for specifying a display range for each document will be described. In this example, a job requisition will be used as the type of form document. Items described in the job posting include the name of the business establishment, the address of the business location, the telephone number, the starting salary, and the criteria for joining the company. Recruiting slips are collectively collected from each company at employment security offices and registered in a recruiting database and the like, so that the necessary items are generally described in a common format. Each company that submits a recruitment slip submits the necessary items by handwriting on a fixed form paper.

The format paper of each form document is read by the image scanner 2 (S1), and the file name of the read image data file and the document name of each image data file are set in the document management table 30 shown in FIG. 7 (S2). . The document name is displayed on the input screen, and the format registrant inputs the name from a keyboard or the like. After reading the image of the whole document, specify the area of the display specification item. The whole image of the read document is displayed on the screen (S3), and the area in which the content of the target item is described is designated with a mouse or the like. If the designated area is a rectangular area, the coordinates of the reference position and the width and height from the reference position are used to manage the area position. The information is set in the format management table 35 of FIG. 8 in association with each other (S4). Also,
In order to set whether or not display is possible on an item-by-item basis in accordance with the authority of the user who has designated the display, the level of authority to be displayed in the designated area is set (S5). The item name and the authority level are displayed on the input screen, and the format registrant inputs the data from the keyboard. As for the authority, a plurality of candidates may be set in advance, and may be selected from the candidates. If there are multiple items in one document, the display range,
The item name and authority are specified, and the above processing is repeated for all the target items until the specification is completed. (S6, S
7) As described in the operation flow, in the present invention, after specifying a display range for each required item on the image data of the format paper for each document, reading processing of handwritten data of each document is performed. Hereinafter, the flow of processing for registering handwritten data will be described with reference to FIG. Since the position to be cut out for display is different for each document, the user first inputs a document name when registering data (S10). Next, the document number corresponding to the designated document name is specified with reference to the document management table 30 (S11). When one handwritten form is read as image data from the image scanner (S12), a document number specifying the document format and a document file name which is a file name of the image data of the entire document are set in the data management table 44 (S12). S13). The document image file name is set for each document identifier (Kyu for a job offer, Jyu for an employee record) and a serial number in the document reading order. Next, the image data is cut out according to the cutout position of the display item by referring to the format management table 35 based on the previously specified document number (S14). The file name of the cut image data is stored in the data management table 44.
The item image file name is set for each item identifier (JI for a business name, TE for a telephone number) and a serial number in the document reading order. In the data registration table,
In addition, according to the contents of the format management table 35,
The document number and the item number are set together with the item name (S1
5). If a plurality of display items are defined in one form, the other items are repeated from the image data setting process for each item (S16). When a plurality of forms are registered for a document of the same format, the other data is repeated from the image data reading process (S1).
7). If there is a document in another format, the process is repeated from the process of designating the document name (S18). By repeating the above process, for a large number of handwritten forms, item names, image data described as item contents, and user authority for display are registered in accordance with the format of each form.

Next, the flow of processing when inputting data while referring to image data of a form will be described with reference to FIG. Some of the items described in the document cannot be referred to unless the user has a certain authority or higher. Therefore, the user ID is designated from the user designation screen 15 as shown in FIG. 5 (S
20). When the user ID is specified, the authority data corresponding to the user ID is specified by referring to the user management table 41 (S21). Next, since the contents to be registered in the database and the items to be displayed are different for each document type, the document type is designated (S22). When the document type is specified,
With reference to the document management table 30, a document number, which is an identifier, is assigned to each document. Is specified, and a corresponding input screen is displayed (S23). Next, with reference to the format management table 35, the information of the item corresponding to the authority is read from the display target item corresponding to the document number of each designated document (S2).
4). For each item corresponding to the authority, the file contents are read in accordance with the image file name of each item with reference to the data registration table, and displayed on the screen (S25). 1
If there are a plurality of items in the document, the above process is repeated for each item to display all necessary items (S2
7). The data registrant inputs necessary information for each item on the input screen while referring to the items displayed on the screen. The input data is stored in the form definition table 49.
Is set in the data table 54 corresponding to the field name corresponding to the field number (S26). When the next data is input for the same form, the next image data is displayed and the input processing is repeated. When performing the input process for another document, the process is repeated from the document designation (S28). When the input operator changes, the processing authority is different, so the process is repeated from the user ID designation (S29).

[0020]

As described above, according to the present invention, in such a data registration system, when only necessary information is registered in a database or the like from the form data read as image data, It is possible to register the data while referring to only the necessary parts.

Further, by setting the reference authority for each item, it is possible to limit the display contents according to the authority of the operator who performs the data input processing. For example, even when creating a recruitment list database for job seekers from a job recruitment form, information such as selection conditions other than recruitment information, which is general content shown to job seekers, is not more than a data manager Can be displayed so that the data registration operator for creating the job list database cannot be referred to.
