Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a device for modifying the information content when processing kanji information by a computer.

Kanji information processed by computers these days is
Typesetting information such as content and layout is recorded in advance on a computer, and after performing the necessary processing, this information is output to a terminal device such as a phototypesetting machine and immediately used as a block copy or printed. Converted to objects (text only).

This process is shown in a block diagram as shown in FIG.

In the case of new publication of kanji information processing materials such as directories and dictionaries, the author's handwritten manuscript and layout standard sheet are first submitted as typesetting information 10. Furthermore, in the case of reprinting, typesetting information based on past publications is submitted 10. Based on this, the typeface, character spacing, etc. are analyzed and a manuscript plan 12 is created for new publication or reprinting.

Next, this plan is recorded on a storage medium such as a paper tape by operating the keyboard 14, inputted into the computer 16, and edited. Further, the above-mentioned formatting information may also be submitted as a magnetic tape 18 and immediately input into the computer 16.

Edited information is outputted from the computer 16 via a magnetic tape 20 to a hard copy 22 by a terminal device such as a fully automatic phototypesetting machine.

Here, the formatting information recorded on the hard copy 22 is corrected 24. Corrections 24 are made by a proofreader and the corrections are written in red on the hard copy.

If there is no correction, the information is exposed on photographic film or the like from the computer 16 via a phototypesetting machine or the like.
A block copy 26 is created. A printing plate 28 is then produced from the original block 26. or computer 16
Prints are made directly from kanji using a kanji printer.

If there is a correction, processing is performed to encode the correction item so that it can be easily key punched.

Here, the formatting information includes key information, character information, layout information, and the like. The above corrections are made to the character information and layout information, and the corrections are encoded based on the correction information obtained as a result.
A corrected data sheet 30 is created. Key information indicating the page, line, etc. is also entered on the sheet to indicate the correction location.

Next, the keyboard 32 is operated in accordance with the correction code of the correction data sheet 30, and the correction data is recorded on a recording medium such as a paper tape.

Based on the recording medium thus obtained, the formatting information recorded in the computer is corrected 34.

Thereafter, the correction process is repeated several times to optimize the formatting information and create a good draft.

Here, what has traditionally been a problem is the process 30 of creating a repair data sheet. The correction data sheet encodes the correction items so that the computer 16 can read the correction information, and furthermore, the operator of the keyboard 32 can properly read them and input them into the keyboard 3.
This is done by rearranging them so that the second operation can be performed.

However, since the repair data sheet is created by humans, there is a drawback that the information may become inaccurate due to copying errors.

The present invention was devised in view of the above-mentioned points, and prints the formatting information edited and output by the computer 16 on a hard copy with marginal punch holes, and optically recognizes the key information in the formatting information. By printing in letters,
The correction data sheet creation step 30 is omitted, and the formatting information is corrected by omitting the recording operation of the key information using the keyboard 32.

That is, in the present invention, key information in typesetting information and character information, layout information, etc. corresponding to each key information are arranged and recorded in parallel in the width direction, and correction information of this character information, layout information, etc. The machine is equipped with an optical recognition device that runs the filled hard copy in one direction, marks the corrected areas of the hard copy in different colors depending on the type of correction, and reads key information that identifies the corrected areas. correction device,
An operation button for commanding the correction type to the correction part of the hard copy, a keyboard for inputting the correction information written in the hard copy, and an operation button for inputting the correction type from the operation button and the correction information from the keyboard. A storage medium recording device for recording formatting information, and a microcomputer and an interface for connecting and controlling the correction device, the operation button, the keyboard, and the storage medium recording device. It is a correction device.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below based on the drawings.

Next, the operation of the correction information creation and recording device will be described.

First, the corrected hard copy 38 is cut into sheets and stacked with marginal punch holes 36, wound into a roll, or folded into a Z-shape and loaded into the apparatus. Then, the pin of the pin tractor 66 is inserted into the marginal punch hole 36.

Next, by operating the handle 74, the correction information reading start position is set directly below the reading head 68.

The key information 40 specifying the location of the correction is read by the reading head 68, and is punched and recorded on a paper tape 76, which is a temporary storage medium. The key information for specifying the correction position consists of a combination of a manuscript number 44 representing a page of a book, etc., and a line number 46 representing a line.

If the correction shown in FIG. 2 were to be made here, the document number 44 would be set below the reading head 68 as the reading start position, and that number would be read first. Next, the pin tractor 66 operates the button 58.
When the row number 46a comes directly under the reading head 68, it is stopped. The key information 44, 46a read by the reading head is then punched and recorded on the paper tape 76. Next, insertion is instructed by button operation, and the cursor 70 moves to the insertion correction position 48.
, the keyboard 56 is operated,
In order to newly insert the inserted characters "Dainippon Printing" into the character information, the paper tape 76 is punched and recorded. Cursor 68 at the same time or after insertion is indicated
A marking pen attached to the holder acts to mark the corrected area to indicate the completion of the correction and its history.

Thereafter, the cursor 70 is returned to its original position in response to a command from the microcomputer 60, and the hard copy 38 is fed one line at a time. The operator then recognizes the deletion correction and operates the button for deletion, bringing the cursor to the deletion start point.
Then, the key information 46b is read and recorded on the paper tape 76, and by operating the keyboard 56, correction information to delete unnecessary information is perforated and recorded on the paper tape 76. After this, marking is applied in the same manner as before.

Then, the hard copy 38 is further fed, and is stopped at line number 46d by a button operation by the operator who recognizes the replacement correction. At the same time, the line number 46d is recorded on the paper tape 76 by the reading head 68 as key information.

Next, by operating the keyboard 56, correction information indicating deletion of unnecessary information and insertion of new character information "DNp" is created, punched and recorded on the paper tape 76. Then, a marking indicating completion of replacement and correction is applied to the corresponding location on the recording paper.

Note that it is desirable to change the marking color for each type of correction. However, when marking is performed by an operator, it may be made in one color. Further, the key information 40 read by the reading head is judged to be correct or incorrect by the microcomputer 60, and the correctness or the read content is displayed on the digital display section 72. After that, button operations and keyboard operations are performed.

Thus, the paper tape 76 or other recording medium with all the correction information recorded thereon is input into the computer 16 by means of a tape reader. and,
The formatting information stored in the computer is corrected in accordance with this correction information. The corrected typesetting information is output to a kanji information output terminal such as a fully automatic phototypesetting machine or a kanji printer, and displayed on the block, used in the production of a printing plate, or directly read out as a printed matter. Ru.

Now, as described above, in the present invention, original composition information is recorded, key information in the composition information is recorded in optically recognized characters, and correction information such as character information and layout information is also written. Since the correction information of this hard copy is recorded on the recording medium as is, the correction information can be extracted accurately without going through the process of creating a correction data sheet in the conventional correction process. can be recorded.

In addition, key information is recorded with optical recognition characters,
