Description of the invention () The present invention is a method for scanning small documents using a card reading device. Many documents in the office use an image scanner to enter them into the computer system. After scanning the entire page of the document, each page of the document needs to be entered into the computer system one page at a time, but when scanning small documents with smaller sizes such as business cards, cards, small patterns or newspaper clippings, etc. When waiting for documents, if there are a lot of small documents that need to be scanned, the page-by-page scanning method will take a lot of time and is very uneconomical. A relatively time-saving input method is to put several small files on the image scanner at the same time and enter the computer system together to reduce the scanning time, but the image files generated by this input method must use the computer to provide The image clip tool can only be used to separate the image files of each small file. This cut-and-paste program is very tedious and takes time. If you can scan several small text files simultaneously, you can enter the system and automatically generate a file for each small file: the case will be Saving users a lot of time "The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method that can simultaneously scan and input several small documents and automatically generate a separate file for each document. 1 is a schematic diagram of a data processing system of the present invention, which includes a computer system, an image scanner, and a card reading device. FIG. 2 is a top view of the card taking device shown in FIG. 1. FIG. Figure 3 is the format file and index required for the card reading device shown in Figure 2.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart of scanning the card reading device shown in FIG. 2. 6 is a top view of another card reading device of the present invention. Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2. FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the data processing system of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a top view of the card fetching device 14 shown in FIG. The data processing system includes a computer system 10, an image scanner 12, and a card reading device 14. The card reading device 14 includes a plastic plate 16 with a number of square blocks 18 for fixing small documents 20 therein. The five small files 20 shown in Figure 2 are business cards. Other small file types such as small cards or pictures can also be fixed in block 18 in the same way for scanning and input together. Each block 18 includes a transparent plastic bag 22 used as a card clamping mechanism 22 for clamping the business card 20. The card reading device 14 also includes an identification mark 24 composed of a bar code (BAR CODE) set in a predetermined area in the upper right corner. When it is scanned and input by the image scanner 12, the system 10 will convert it into The format identification code is used to identify the format of the card reading device 14. After all the business cards 20 to be scanned are placed in the transparent plastic bag 22 on the block 18, the card reading device 14 is placed on the transparent top 26 of the image scanner 12 in a face-down manner Go to scan. FIG. 3 is a format file 30 and an index file 32 required by the card reading device shown in FIG. 2. Format file 30 contains several for recording card reading _______3 This paper standard is applicable to Chinese national standard (CNS & A4 specifications (210X297mm) (please read the precautions on the back before filling in this page) Printed by the Central Standards Bureau Beigong Consumer Cooperative A7 B7 .. --- 5. Invention description () Item 30 at the location of each block 18 in the device 14, and the index file 32 contains several units 36 for recording each card The format identification code 37 of the reading device and the corresponding address 38 of the format file. The format file 30 can be generated in many ways, and the user can directly input the location of all the blocks 18 according to the specifications of the card reading device 14 To create a format file 30, or scan a blank card reader 14 into the system 10, and then recognize the location of each block 18 and record it in the format file 30. When the card reader 14 After scanning and inputting the business card 20 into the system 10, a main image file will be generated. The system 10 will first take out the image of the identification mark 24 and convert it into a format identification code, and then go to the index file 32 Find the address of the format file corresponding to the format identification code. After finding the correct format file, the system 10 can take out the image on the block 18 in the main image file for further processing. Figure 4 is a diagram The block diagram of the computer system 10 and the image scanner 12 shown in FIG. 1 shows the programs and files used to scan the card reading device 14 in the system 10. The system 10 includes a driver for driving the image scanner 12 Program 40, an image processing program 44 for processing image files, an index file 32 and several format files 48. After the card reading device 14 is scanned into the system 10, the driver program 40 will generate a main image file 42 It is processed by the image processing program 44. The image processing program 44 will take the image of the identification mark 24 and convert it into a format identification code, and then go to the index file 32 to find the format file corresponding to the format identification code. Address. After finding the correct format file 30, the system 10 will be 4, the paper standard uses the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 public envy) (please read first (Notes on the back and then fill in this page) Packing and ordering 313657 A7 B7 Printed by the Beigong Consumer Cooperation Bureau of the Central Standards Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs. V. Invention description () The image located on block 18 in the main image file can be taken out to generate data A file image file 46. Figure 5 is a flowchart of scanning the card reading device 14 shown in Figure 2. It includes the following steps: Step 51 Place the business card 20 in the block 18 of the card reading device 14 52 Scan the card reading device 14 into the system 10 to generate the main image file 42 Step 53 Extract the identification mark 24 from the main image file 42 Step 54 Convert the identification mark 24 into a format identification code Step 55 Use the format identification code and index file 32 Find the corresponding format file Step 56 Take the image of the block from the main image file 42 according to the location of the block stored in an item 34 in the format file 30 Step 57 Check whether the obtained image is a blank block If yes, go to step 5 9 step 58 to generate a document image file 46 step 59 whether there are still other blocks, if yes go to step 56 step 6 0 end step 52 is driven by the driver 40 is performed and step 53 to step 60 is done by the image processing program 44. The image processing program 44 first obtains the format identification code in steps 53 and 54 and then uses the grid in step 55.

Then in steps 56 to 59, the image processing program 44 will use the item 34 stored in the format file 30 to repeatedly extract the image of each block 14 from the main image file 42 and check whether there is an image in it. If there is an image, a document image file 46 will be generated, and this process will be repeated until the images of all blocks have been processed. The card reading device 14 shown in FIG. 2 is a design for scanning a large number of business cards, and FIG. 6 shows another design of a card reading device made of a low-cost transparent sheet (TRANSPARENCY) of the present invention. The card reading device 70 is made of a transparent sheet, which contains a number of square blocks 72 and an identification mark 74. When scanning business cards, the card reading device 70 can be placed on the transparent top 26 of the image scanner 12 first, and then the user can place business cards one by one in the block 72 for scanning Enter. The use of transparent sheets to make various card reading devices is not only easy but also very low in cost. Therefore, the task of scanning and inputting various small documents can be greatly simplified.
