Abstract

PURPOSE:To eliminate a complicatedness of a correct setting of a blank by reading out a letter filling up a position information of the blank which is to be printed out. CONSTITUTION:The letters 11 and 12 are read out by a recognition section 22 in turn, and a reference of an output data is carried out with those informations being given to a reference section 23. Furthere, the letters 13, 14, 15 are read by a control section 21 for obtain information on a position and an item to be printed with a blank is feeded and referenced, and the blank is feeded so as to print out the reference resultant to a blank space 16 by the reference section 23 thereafter, and the output data of the reference section 23 are printed out by an output section 25.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to an information processing device, particularly to an information processing device that stores positional information for outputting (printing out) characters, symbols, images, etc. on a medium. The present invention relates to an information processing device that automatically obtains information by recognizing such information.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, for example, when outputting data to a blank space 1116 of a bill such as the first @ using a document editing/creation device, etc., the position between the first position of the paper and the blank field is 2! The relationships were programmed in advance, and the user had to set the paper in a position that satisfied the positional relationships. Related devices of this type include, for example, Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 112601/1983.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

This caused a problem in that the printing position and column were misaligned.

The present invention was made to eliminate these problems, and by recognizing the characters written on the paper and obtaining paper position information, it eliminates limitations on paper and the complexity of setting paper. It is an object of the present invention to provide an information processing device that performs advanced information processing and outputs based on recognized information.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to achieve this object, the present invention is characterized in that the positional information of the paper to be printed out is obtained by reading the characters written on the paper.

[Effect]

Since the characters and symbols written on the paper to be printed out are read and recognized, and the printing position and printout information are obtained as a result, it is possible to eliminate the trouble of setting the paper accurately.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained in detail with reference to Examples.

Second [! ! jl is a block diagram of an embodiment of the present invention.

FIG. 2 will be explained using FIG. 1.

The control unit 21 in the second factor feeds the paper lO in the Lrj1 to a readable position, and the recognition unit 22 reads and recognizes the characters 11. (At this time,
Although it is necessary to cut out the characters, this is not the main point of the present invention, so the description will be omitted, but see, for example, Japanese Patent Application No. 1983-42070. ) In this case, the recognition unit 22 may have a feed function.

When the read characters are recognized by the recognition unit 22 and found to be “bill”, this information is sent to the control unit 21. The control unit 21 can obtain paper format information based on the information from the recognition unit 22.

That is, information such as the type of paper (for example, bill), the type of information to be read next (for example, name), and the amount to be output is obtained. This information is stored in advance in the control unit 21.
Prepare it in memory.

Now, one character 11 is read and based on this result, the control section 21 feeds the paper 10 to the next reading position, and then issues a control signal to the recognition section 22 to start reading, and reads the character 12 representing the name □.
For example, we get "Yamada Abe".

The control unit 21 provides information on characters 11 and 12 to the search unit 23 to search for output data. - On the other hand, the control section 21
Further, the paper is fed and the retrieved information is read to obtain information on the position and item to be printed.The characters ``product name'' 13 and the characters ``price'' 14. After reading the character ``Quantity'' (■5), a sheet of paper is fed into the space 116 after that so as to print out the search results by the search unit 23, and the output data of the search unit 23 is printed out by the output unit 25. It goes without saying that even if the paper to be read and the paper to be printed are not the same, the printing position can be controlled in the same way based on the read information.

Furthermore, for example, the read characters are 31 and 32 as shown in FIG. 3(A). In the case of an addition sign 332 and an equal sign 34, the control unit 21 controls the addition calculation process and sends data 31 and 33 to the calculation unit 24 to perform the addition calculation process. This result is printed out by the output unit 25 to obtain 1+2=3 as shown in FIG. 3(B).

Furthermore, the calculation unit 24 can perform calculation processing such as enlarging, reducing nine rotations, and moving the characters, symbols, and line figures to be output based on the positional information of the recognized two characters and symbols. This allows you to choose the size of the characters to fit within the frame, for example.

As another example, as shown in FIG. 3(C), the recognition unit 3G recognizes the characters 35 and the frame 36 "schematic map" and normalizes the size of the map so that it falls within this range. You can also print it out.

FIG. 4 shows an embodiment in which the mechanical parts of the figure reading part and the output part are shared. That is, in order to read characters, a mechanism is required to move the paper 41 and the pedestal 42 on which the photoelectric conversion section is mounted. Furthermore, a mechanism for moving the paper 41 and print head 47 is required to output (print out) characters. Therefore, by mounting both on the same pedestal and integrating the mechanical parts, it is possible to realize a device having a composite input/output mechanism. In FIG. 4, paper 41 can be fed in the vertical direction 411 by a paper feeding mechanism (not shown).

Print head 47 and illumination light source/14. Photoelectric conversion element 45. A photoelectric conversion unit including an imaging lens 46 is mounted on the same movable frame 42 and is moved in the left-right direction 412 by a motor 43. In FIG. 4, a print head 47 and a photoelectric conversion element 45
are lined up in the vertical direction qtt (paper feeding direction), but they may also be lined up in the left and right direction 412 (direction of movement of the gantry).

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, according to the present invention, characters and symbols are read and recognized, and as a result, the printing position is determined.

Since printout information is obtained, it is possible to eliminate the complexity of setting paper accurately and to provide various information processing functions.
