Disclosure of Invention

Problems to be solved by the invention

Although the technology of electronization of paper documents has been improved, misreading and unreadable are generated at a fixed rate, and there is no technology that can completely recognize all characters including handwritten characters. Therefore, the character consistency is finally confirmed by visual observation of a human. Since such character matching confirmation is a factor that hinders cost reduction for the electronic paper document, an external request for manual visual confirmation is also made to reduce cost.

However, for example, since visual confirmation of a chinese character is limited to a kanji circle, the request target is limited, and the cost may be increased, and thus the cost reduction effect cannot be said to be sufficient.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to improve productivity and efficiency of visual confirmation work when converting a paper document into an electronic form.

Means for solving the problems

The character consistency verification system comprises: the service terminal is operated by an entrustor for confirming the character consistency; a character consistency confirmation device for controlling the character consistency confirmation; and a user terminal for performing character consistency confirmation using the game application. And the service terminal sends a file comprising character data to be subjected to character consistency confirmation. The character consistency check device subdivides the received character data and transmits, to the user terminal, distribution data including the subdivided character data and abstracted candidate characters that are to be compared with characters corresponding to the character data. The user terminal transmits a game result to the character consistency confirming device. The character consistency confirming device transmits a result file including a character consistency confirming result based on the received game result to the service terminal.

ADVANTAGEOUS EFFECTS OF INVENTION

In the invention disclosed in the present application, the effects obtained by the representative invention will be briefly described as follows.

That is, according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the productivity of the visual confirmation work in the electronization of the paper document can be improved and the efficiency can be improved.

As shown in fig. 1, the character matching system 1 includes a character matching device 10, a service terminal 20, a user terminal 30, and a network N. In the character matching system 1, communication including transmission and reception of data is performed between the character matching device 10 and the service terminal 20 and between the character matching device 10 and the user terminal 30 via the network N. Further, depending on the usage situation, communication may be performed between a plurality of user terminals 30 via the network N.

The character matching check device 10 is a device that performs control relating to character matching check using a game application. When there is a request for confirming the character matching from the service terminal 20, the character matching device 10 issues character data for confirming the character matching to the user terminal 30 of the registered user having the dedicated game application installed.

The service terminal 20 is a processing device for requesting a confirmation process of character matching by a client such as a corporation. The user terminal 30 is a processing device that receives distribution data including character data used for playing a game from the character consistency verification device 10 and transmits a game result.

The communication unit 32 is a communication interface for communicating with the character matching check device 10 in accordance with a command from a control unit or the like in the user terminal 30, not shown.

The configuration of fig. 2 is an example of the functions for realizing the present invention, and is not limited to such a configuration. For example, the user terminal 30 may execute a part of the processing executed by the character matching check device 10, or the user terminal may issue character data for character matching check to a PC terminal or the like used by an operator or the like who performs professional character matching check, not limited to the game user, and may execute the character data as a character matching check service.

Text consistency confirmation processing

Next, the character matching check process according to the present embodiment will be described. Fig. 14 is a flowchart showing an example of the character matching check process according to the embodiment of the present invention. In fig. 14, the service terminal 20 and the user terminal 30 are shown on the left and right sides, respectively, centering on the consistency check device 10. The character matching check process of fig. 14 includes steps S401 to S419.

First, the character matching check device 10 discloses and provides a dedicated game application for checking matching of characters in a game. The game user can freely download the game application (step S401). The environment in which the game application is provided may be inside the character matching confirmation apparatus 10 (for example, the game content unit 12) or may be installed in another environment dedicated to download.

The game user who holds the game terminal 30 downloads and installs the game application, and then inputs a registration request of the game user for a necessary item (step S402).

User registration processing

The character matching check device 10 checks the content of the application from the new user, stores the user who satisfies the predetermined registration condition in the user host 131, and registers the user (step S403). If the registration condition is not satisfied, the character matching check device 10 sends a return to the user terminal 30 and notifies that the registration condition (not shown) is not satisfied.

Here, a specific example of the user registration process will be described. Fig. 15 is a flowchart showing a specific example of the user registration process. The user registration process of fig. 15 includes steps S70 to S76. In step S70, it is determined whether or not there is a user registration request. When the registration request of the game user is made by the user terminal 30 in step S70 (yes), the user registration process 113 of the control unit 11 checks the information of the request and checks the registration qualification and the like (step S71). In the case where the registration application of the game user is not made by the user terminal 30 (no), the process returns to step S70, and the user registration processing 113 stands by until there is a registration application from the user.

In step S72, it is determined whether or not the requested item is incomplete. When the presence information is not complete or there is a discrepancy such as a return item as a result of the confirmation and examination of the application item (yes), the user registration processing 113 notifies the user terminal 30 of the fact (step S73), and returns to step S70. On the other hand, if the application item is not incomplete (no), the user registration processing 113 assigns a unique identifiable user ID to the user (step S74). The user registration process 113 registers the user in the user host 132 (step S75), and notifies the user terminal 30 of the completion of the user registration (step S76).

The explanation returns to fig. 14. The scanning process 211 of the service terminal 20 scans a paper file for which a character consistency confirmation is requested and acquires character data, and stores the acquired character data in the character data DB 221. Then, the character data transmission processing 212 transmits the acquired character data to the character matching check device 10 (step S404). The timing of step S404 may be before step S403, or may be simultaneous with step S403.

Text data acceptance/identification processing

The character matching check device 10 receives a file including character data from the service terminal 20. Then, the character data reception/recognition processing 111 checks the information of the company that has transmitted the file with the company information registered in the company host 132, and stores the received character data in the character DB133 in association with the company ID and the like (step S405). The character matching check device 10 performs character recognition of character data stored in the character DB133 by using a known technique (step S406).

Here, a specific example of the character data reception/recognition processing will be described. Fig. 16 is a flowchart showing an example of the character data reception/recognition processing. Fig. 16 includes steps S50 to S54. In step S50, it is determined whether or not the request for character matching confirmation is made by the company. If the request for the character matching check is not made from the service terminal 20 in step S50 (no), the character data reception/recognition processing 111 returns to step S50 and waits until the request for the character matching check from the company is made.

On the other hand, when the request for the character matching check is made from the service terminal 20 (yes), the character data reception/recognition processing 111 checks the business information included in the character data received from the service terminal 20 against the business information stored in the business host 132 (step S51).

It is determined in step S52 whether the received enterprise information is registered in the enterprise host 132. When the received business information is registered as the requester (yes), the character data reception/recognition processing 111 performs character recognition processing on the received character data using OCR, ICR, AI, or the like. The character data reception/recognition processing 111 stores the recognized characters in association with the business information in the character DB133 (step S54). On the other hand, when the received business information is not registered as the requester (no), the character data reception/recognition processing 111 transmits a notification prompting the retransmission of the character data to the service terminal 20 that transmitted the character data (step S53).

The explanation returns to fig. 14. Then, the segmentation/randomization process 112 performs segmentation and randomization of the characters recognized in step S406 to generate distribution data for the game user (step S407). The subdivision and randomization of the text uses known techniques. Since the characters identified by the same character data are dispersed by the subdivision and randomization of the characters, security can be secured even if the distribution data is distributed to the game user.

Issue treatment

Then, the distribution processing 114 analyzes the data for distribution generated in step S407. Then, the character matching check device 10 refers to the attributes of the registered users stored in the user host 131, matches the registered users who are suitable for the analysis result of the data for distribution, and performs the distribution processing of the data for distribution to the suitable game users who match the registered users (step S408).

Specifically, the character matching check device 10 transmits character data subdivided from the same character data to a plurality of game users. The character matching check device 10 transmits the same character data obtained by the division to a plurality of game users.

Further, for example, when confirming the correspondence between the idioms and the characters having the consistency, the game user is matched with a language that can use character data, or a game user having a nationality in a country where the language is the native language, the second language, the third language, or the like. This enables efficient character matching confirmation.

To ensure security in the distribution process, the segmentation/randomization process 112 adds an identifier to each character of the file, for example, in the segmentation and randomization. In the random case, for example, the number of character data having the same identifier in the distribution data is limited to a predetermined number. This makes it difficult to restore the distribution data and acquire the original character data, thereby securing security.

Distribution processing 114 refers to each character data and the attribute of user host 131, and performs matching of the game user who transmits the character data. Specifically, the distribution data is distributed in association with the user IDs of the plurality of game users matched. In this way, by distributing the subdivided data to a plurality of game users in a distributed manner under predetermined conditions, restoration to the original file is made difficult, and security is ensured.

A specific example of the distribution process is described here. Fig. 17 is a flowchart showing an example of the distribution processing. Fig. 17 includes steps S80 to S86. In step S80, it is determined whether the subdivided character DB is updated as a result of the subdivision/random process performed in step S407. If the divided character DB is not updated in step S80 (no), the character matching check device 10 returns to step S80 and waits until the divided character DB137 is updated. On the other hand, when the divided character DB is updated (yes), the character matching check device 10 refers to the divided characters to determine the language used for the character (step S81).

The character matching check device 10 determines the difficulty level of the character data at the time of matching check, for example, using the number of characters of the character data, the accumulated information of the past determination results, the idioms, and the determination items such as whether or not the character is a character having continuity (step S82). Then, the character matching check device 10 matches the game user of the distribution destination using the difficulty level and the evaluation result stored in the user host 131 (step S83).

And supplementing the difficulty level of the character data. For example, character data similar to character data that has been determined to have a large difference from the determination result by AI in the past and the determination result by majority voting processing described later, character data that is considered to be difficult to determine as characters, such as signatures and signatures, or character data that requires character matching confirmation from a combination of preceding and following characters, such as a character "one" of a chinese number, a "-", a number "1", and an english alphabet "l" for lengthening a voice, is determined to have a high difficulty level.

The character matching check device 10 associates character data with a plurality of matching game users (step S84), stores the associated character data in the distribution character DB138 (step S85), and distributes the associated character data to the plurality of game users (step S86).

In the distribution processing, the character matching check device 10 may include character data obtained by dividing the distribution data for character matching check and abstracted candidate characters to be compared with characters corresponding to the character data. The abstracted candidate words are, for example, signs and/or images.

The character matching check device 10 may divide a word or a signature composed of a plurality of characters into one block for the received character data. At this time, the character matching check device 10 matches the game user who transmitted the distribution data with reference to the attribute of the game user. Specifically, the character matching check device 10 compares the language used for the block with the available language registered for the attribute of the game user, and matches the game users having the matched languages. Alternatively, the character matching check apparatus 10 may compare the language used for the block with the nationality registered for the attribute of the game user, and match the game user who has the nationality of the country in which the language used for the block is the common language.

Execution of text consistency confirmation Game

Here, the description returns to fig. 14. The game user uses the user terminal 30 to play the game based on the distribution data including the character data distributed by the character matching confirmation apparatus 10, thereby performing character matching confirmation of the character data (step S409).

[ Game example (1) ]

An example of the game (1) will be described. Fig. 18 is a diagram showing an example of the character matching check game. First, an example of fig. 18 will be explained. The game user operates the user terminal 30 held by the game player to play a game for confirming the character matching. An image 302 based on the character data received from the character matching check device is displayed on the display screen 301 of the user terminal 30. The image of the characters contained in the image 302 is recognized by OCR, ICR, AI, or the like. Candidate characters 303 to 305 similar to the character are displayed on the display screen 301. In fig. 18, "tian" 303, "yao" 304, and "a" 305 are displayed as candidate characters, respectively.

Alternatively, instead of these candidate characters, abstracted candidate characters may be used. Specifically, when the character to be checked for consistency is a chinese character, a symbol and/or an image obtained by abstracting the above-described "tian", "yao", and "jia" may be used as a candidate character. This makes it possible to match game users who do not recognize a chinese character, and effectively increase the number of times of response.

The game user clicks and selects a candidate character determined to coincide with the character of the image 302, and clicks the ok button 308 to confirm the selected candidate character. When the candidate character is determined, the screen proceeds to the next screen not shown.

In addition, when the character matching cannot be determined from the displayed candidate characters, the game user can try the next game by clicking the skip button 306 to enter the next screen.

[ Game example (2) ]

Next, a game example (2) will be explained. Fig. 19 is a diagram showing another example of the character matching confirmation game. On the display screen 301 of the user terminal 30, other similar characters are displayed as candidate characters instead of the character that is considered to be most coincident with the character of the image 302. Specifically, in fig. 19, instead of the "tian" 303 (fig. 18) which is considered to be most coincident with the characters of the image 302, similar characters "shen" 309 are displayed as candidate characters, and the game user is caused to judge the coincidence of the characters. By incorporating such a configuration, it is possible to easily evaluate the accuracy and precision of the character matching judgment for the game user.

[ Game example (3) ]

Next, a game example (3) will be explained. Fig. 20 is a diagram showing another example of the character matching confirmation game. If it is determined that there is no character that matches or is similar to the character of image 302 among the candidate characters displayed on display screen 301 in fig. 18 to 19, the game user clicks input button 307 to bring display screen 301 into the state shown in fig. 20. Then, the game user hand-writes the character recognized as correct in the character input field 310. By incorporating such a configuration, characters different from the candidate characters can be arbitrarily input.

These game screens are screens showing an example of the basic operation of the game j, and may be added to the game contents for the game or entertainment. For example, the user terminal 30 may communicate with a user terminal owned by another game user via the network N, and may respond to a battle game with accuracy, response speed, and the like.

(treatment of result recovery)

The game result is transmitted to the character matching check device 10 via the network N and collected at any time or every time a predetermined time elapses (step S410). Fig. 21 is a flowchart showing an example of the result collection process. Fig. 21 includes steps S90 to S94.

It is determined in step S90 whether the game user has played the game. In the case where the game user has not played the game (no), the character consistency confirmation apparatus 10 (for example, the result recovery processing 115) returns to step S90 and stands by until the user plays the game. On the other hand, when the game user registers the game application and has played the game (yes), the character matching check device 10 monitors the game progress status, the progress status of the game for a predetermined time, and the like.

It is determined in step S91 whether or not one game play ends. One game described here includes, for example, a game user completing at least one question or step of the game or quitting after playing one question or more than one question.

If the one-shot process is not completed (no), the character matching check device 10 returns to step S90 and stands by. On the other hand, when one game is finished (yes), the character matching check device 10 collects the game result of character matching, and stores the collected game result in the evaluation information DB134 for each game user (step S92).

It is determined in step S93 whether the user continues the game. If the game user continues playing the game in step S93 (yes), the character matching check device 10 returns to step S91. On the other hand, if the game user does not continue playing the game in step S93 (no), the character matching confirmation apparatus 10 executes the evaluation/payout amount calculation process 117 described later (step S94). Further, the collection of the game result from the game user may not be performed for each round. For example, the user terminal that is logged in may store a game result of one or more characters matching each other, and may transmit the game result at a predetermined time or each time a game result transmission request from the character matching checking device 10 is received.

Majority voting processing and AI decision result comparison processing

The explanation returns to fig. 14. Then, the character matching check device 10 (for example, the majority voting process 116) executes a judgment process using majority voting as a main technique on the collected game result, thereby specifying the character matching check as the game result and judging the accuracy (step S411). Fig. 22 is a flowchart showing an example of majority voting processing and AI determination result comparison processing. Fig. 22 includes steps S100 to S109 and S140 to S142. Steps S100 to S103 correspond to majority voting, and steps S104 to S109 and S140 to S142 correspond to AI determination result comparison.

In step S100, it is determined whether or not the game result is collected. If the game result is not collected in step S100 (no), the character matching check device 10 returns to step S100 and waits until the game result is collected. On the other hand, if the game result has been collected (yes), the character matching check device 10 proceeds to step S101.

In step S101, it is determined whether or not the number of answers required for the majority voting process is ensured. If the number of times of response does not satisfy the number of times required for majority voting for the same character data in step S101, the character matching check device 10 waits until the required number of times is secured. However, if the number of times of response does not satisfy the required number of times even after the predetermined time has elapsed (no), the character matching check device 10 determines that the character matching cannot be checked, stores the reason code of the inability in the check result DB136 (step S102), and ends the majority voting process.

Fig. 23 is a diagram showing an example in which the code and the reason why the correspondence will not be able to be established. On the left side of the inability reason code table 139 in fig. 23, an inability reason code column 139A in which inability reason codes are described and an inability reason column 139B in which inability reasons corresponding to the respective inability reason codes are described are shown. The reason code for failure when the character matching cannot be confirmed is stored in the reason code for failure 136H of the storage unit 13.

In fig. 23, examples of the reason for the inability include "inability to read", "inability to determine in majority voting", "great difference from AI", and the like, and the inability reason codes of "01" to "03" are assigned to the respective reasons for the inability. The reason code table 139 is stored in the storage unit 13 of the character matching check device 10, for example.

On the other hand, when the number of times of response satisfies the number of times required for majority voting with respect to the same character data in step S101 (yes), the character matching confirming device 10 generates a ranking in which merits are given to each candidate character corresponding to the character data in order of high to low character matching based on majority voting, and stores the generated ranking in the majority voting result DB142 (step S103).

The character matching check device 10 receives the result of the majority voting determination process by the majority voting process 116, and compares the ranking generated from the recognition results of the OCR or ICR using the AI with the ranking generated by the majority voting process (step S104). The array using the AI is generated in parallel with the distribution of character data to the game user in the character matching check device 10. The generated arrangement is stored in the AI determination result DB 141.

It is determined in step S105 whether or not the arrangement generated by the majority voting process 116 matches the arrangement generated by the AI. When these arrangements match in step S105 (yes), the character matching check device 10 determines that the reliability of character matching check by majority voting is high, stores the arrangement generated by the majority voting process 116 (stored in the majority voting result DB 142) in the check result DB136 (step S141), and ends the AI determination result comparison process.

On the other hand, if the arrangements do not match in step S105 (no), the character matching check device 10 compares the arrangements of both sides (step S106), and specifies a candidate character that does not match (step S107). Then, the character matching check device 10 determines the reason for the matching (step S108). As an example of the reason for the inconsistency, a case where handwritten input characters described in fig. 20 are provided is given. Of course, there are cases where these arrangements do not match even when there is no handwritten character.

In step S109, it is determined whether or not there is handwritten input text. If no character is handwritten in step S109 (no), the character matching check device 10 stores a reason code of the failure in the check result DB136 for the reason of the mismatch (step S142), and ends the AI determination result comparison process.

On the other hand, when there is a handwritten input character (yes), the character matching check device 10 inserts the result of determination on the handwritten input character into the array, determines the reliability of the character matching check including the candidate character and the handwritten input character (step S140), stores the reason why the character matching check is not possible in the check result DB136 (step S112), and ends the AI determination result comparison process.

The explanation returns to fig. 14. Based on the analysis result in step S411, the character matching check device 10 (for example, the restoration process 118) executes a restoration process of the character data, and stores the restored character data in the check result DB136 (step S412). The restoration process is a process forming a pair with the subdivision/random process, and is performed by using a known technique.

evaluation/Payment amount calculation processing

The character matching check device 10 (for example, the evaluation/payout amount calculation process 117) associates the restoration result with the game user information, and evaluates the response pair, response rate, response speed, transaction (transaction) and the like of the game result. The evaluation result is stored in the evaluation information DB 134. For example, when the character matching check device 10 evaluates a game user, the evaluation points for evaluation items such as the answer pair rate, the response rate, the answer speed, the transaction processing, and the frequency of use are set in advance, and the game user is evaluated based on the total of the evaluation points for each evaluation item.

The character matching check device 10 may remove the answer from the game user whose evaluation is extremely low when the majority voting process is performed. This improves the overall response accuracy. These evaluation results are stored in the evaluation information DB134 and/or the user host 131, and used as matching information for the game user.

The character consistency check device 10 feeds back the evaluation result for the game user as rating, level, and bonus information to the game user (step S413, step S414).

Fig. 24 is a flowchart showing an example of evaluation/payment amount calculation processing. Fig. 24 includes steps S110 to S117. In step S110, it is determined whether or not the majority voting process is performed. If it is determined in step S110 that the majority voting process has not been executed (no), the character matching check device 10 returns to step S110 and waits until the majority voting process is executed.

On the other hand, when it is determined in step S110 that the majority voting process has been executed (yes), the character matching confirming device 10 performs sorting based on the accuracy of each game user based on the collected game results (step S111), sorting based on the response rate (step S112), sorting based on the response speed (step S113), sorting based on the transaction process (step S114), and the like. The character matching check device 10 then performs score calculation for each item such as accuracy, and determines the level, state, rating, and the like of each game user (step S115). The character matching check device 10 may use items such as the answer rate of characters having a high difficulty level in character matching check, the handwritten character input rate, and the number of times of failure reasons for the evaluation by the game user.

The character matching check device 10 calculates the bonus payment amount for each user using a predetermined ratio and coefficient based on the evaluation result (step S116). The character matching check device 10 stores the evaluation results of steps S111 to S115, the calculation result of the bonus payment amount, and the like in the evaluation information DB134 (step S117).

The explanation returns to fig. 14. The game user can view his/her rating and bonus information and the like through a game screen or the like being played in the user terminal 30. The game user requests a bonus to the character matching degree confirmation apparatus 10 as necessary (step S415).

The character matching check device 10 pays out the bonus prize to the corresponding game user in response to the request of the bonus prize from the user terminal 30, and stores the payment result in the payment history DB135 (step S416).

The character consistency check device 10 may calculate the generated award and notify the game user and the client company as necessary (step S417). Step S417 may be performed simultaneously with step S414, or may be performed at a timing after step S414.

Further, it is also possible to add each process related to the bonus as appropriate depending on the usage situation. That is, processing related to the bonus may not be performed.

Result delivery processing

The character matching check device 10 (for example, the result transmission process 119) transmits the character matching check result and the like stored in the check result DB136, which are obtained by executing the series of processes, to the service terminal 20 (step S418).

Fig. 25 is a flowchart showing an example of the result transmission processing. Fig. 25 includes steps S130 to S132. It is determined in step S130 whether the confirmation result DB136 is updated. If the check result DB136 is not updated (no), the character matching check device 10 returns to step S130 and waits until the check result DB136 is updated.

On the other hand, for example, when the restoration process by the restoration process 118 is executed and the result determination date 136D of the confirmation result DB136 shown in fig. 8 is updated (yes), the character matching confirmation apparatus 10 transmits the processing result of the character data or the like whose character matching is confirmed to the control apparatus 20 (step S131), stores the result report date 136E, and performs the process of creating the transmission FLG136F (step S132).

The explanation returns to fig. 14. Upon receiving the processing result from the character matching check device 10, the service terminal 20 stores the received processing result in the check-completed data DB222 (step S419).

These series of processes are merely an example, and for example, the process executed by the character matching check device 10 may be executed inside the user terminal 30, and for example, the order of each process may be appropriately switched to a range that does not affect the series of processes.

Main effect of the present embodiment

According to the present embodiment, the character matching check device 10 transmits, to the user terminal 30, distribution data including character data obtained by dividing and abstracted candidate characters to be compared with characters corresponding to the character data. According to this configuration, even a game user who cannot recognize characters for which character consistency confirmation is performed can play a game, and therefore, work productivity and efficiency of visual confirmation when a paper document is converted into an electronic form can be improved. Further, the correctness can be judged and restored from the answers collected from the game users as the result of the game, and finally, the reduction of characters which need to be visually observed can be realized. Further, for example, the present invention can be applied to a layer where a character is not recognized, such as a overseas game user, and the range of the game user can be expanded, thereby improving productivity and efficiency of the character matching check operation. Further, by performing character matching confirmation by playing the game, the required cost required for character matching confirmation can be reduced, and cost reduction can be achieved.

Further, according to the present embodiment, when the character matching check device 10 subdivides a word or signature composed of a plurality of characters as one block with respect to the received character data, the matching of the game user who is to transmit the distribution data is performed with reference to the attribute of the game user. In this case, the character matching check device 10 may compare the language used for the block with the language available for registration in the attribute of the game user, or may compare the language used for the block with the nationality registered in the attribute of the game user. According to this configuration, for example, in a case where correctness such as recognition of a word, recognition of a language, and discrimination of characters is important, accuracy of confirmation of character matching is improved by issuing to a game user who uses a language of character data as a native language. This makes it possible to improve productivity and increase efficiency of the character consistency check operation.

Further, according to the present embodiment, the character matching check device 10 generates an evaluation result corresponding to a game result for each game user. For example, the character matching check device 10 generates an evaluation result using any one of the response pair rate, the response speed, and the transaction processing. According to the structure, the enthusiasm of game users can be maintained and improved.

Further, according to the present embodiment, the game user is paid a prize in accordance with the evaluation result. According to this configuration, the user's motivation can be improved, and productivity and efficiency of the character consistency check operation can be improved.
