Definitions

  • the present invention is directed to an improved mechanism for reading a document and more particularly reading a document before feeding it.
  • the mechanism of the present invention has improved capability of reading before feeding documents.
  • the mechanism may include an optical code data reading recognition mechanism [either by Optical Mark Reading (OMR) or Bar Code Reading (BCR) or an Optical Character Recognition (OCR) or Pattern Recognition] where code data on the document is read, decoded and identified to coincide with the same data on a corresponding pre-existing comparison data means.
  • OMR Optical Mark Reading
  • BCR Bar Code Reading
  • OCR Optical Character Recognition
  • Pattern Recognition Pattern Recognition
  • the present invention overcomes these drawbacks and provides a mechanism which would process documents exactly as they are produced from a printer and feed them from the feeding devices so that the feeding devices can continue to be loaded. Before each sheet is fed out of the hopper or feeding device, it is read by a reading mechanism to verify that the sheet did, in fact, match the data on the comparison data. This ability is not available with the machines.
  • the present mechanism positions the reader so that the code data on the document is scanned and read while the document is still in a stack and before it is fed.
  • a group of characters would be placed in a predetermined location on the sheet of paper.
  • the preferred method would be to be capable of reading the group at one time and than decode them within the recognition logic and pass this information to the computer terminal which will then make decisions as to its completeness, its proper sequence order, and also what function the post processing machine should take with this particular sheet or group of sheets of paper. All of these decisions are made before the sheet of paper is fed into the next station of the post-processing machine. It is desirable, due to a possible misread, to make multiple reads of the same group of characters in order to get more than one identical consecutive read before taking action on the feeding and other machine functions.
  • bar code reading the same basic technology is used as in the OCR method described above, however, the readable characters are transposed into a readable bar code logic, such as a UPC, Code 3 of 9, Code 2 of 5, etc.
  • a readable bar code logic such as a UPC, Code 3 of 9, Code 2 of 5, etc.
  • Optical mark reading before feeding could be used when just basic information about the sheet of paper is necessary.
  • An example of this would be a pre-printed mark on the paper to ascertain whether or not it was in the feed hopper in its proper orientation. Since most sheet fed laser printers need the paper fed into it in an inverted (upside down) mode, it is not always possible for the operator loading the paper to make sure that it is in its proper orientation. With a pre-printed mark in a certain location the OMR reader can always give a signal to the control computer whether or not to feed the sheet of paper due to its proper or improper orientation.
  • OMR use would be if a multi-bin infeed device were to be used to feed the printer.
  • the reason for a multi-bin feeder would be the ability to use various types of pre-printed forms randomly to produce a finished document. Again, since the documents would be in the input hoppers face down it is possible for the operator to load the hoppers with the improper pre-printed forms. With a unique form identification mark on each sheet is would be possible to verify that each bin had the proper pre-printed form in place before it was fed into the printer.
  • Pattern Recognition is another technology whereby reading before feeding can be used as a control function to verify that the proper information is either present or absent and whether or not it is the proper information.
  • This method is used when it is not desirable to have either readable characters or bar codes placed on a sheet of paper for aesthetic reasons. However it is necessary to verify that the proper sheet of paper is to be presented to either the printer or the post processing equipment.
  • a simple example of this technology would be that it is desirable to print a group of sheets of paper, however, readable characters or bar codes would be objectionable. With the use of all points addressable non-impact printers, it is possible to produce graphics at the same time as characters are printed. In this instance the user could wish to identify each sheet with a different graphic symbol to make sure that the proper sequence was in fact printed.
  • the first sheet could have a picture of a "heart” the next a "club” the next a “spade” and the final sheet of the group a “diamond”.
  • the computer logic would ascertain if the graphic pattern it saw on the first sheet (the heart) matched the picture (pattern) it had in its memory as the first graphic it was to recognise. If they match then the control computer would give the command to feed the sheet. The control computer would then expect the next sheet to have a "club” printed on it, etc.
  • Fig. 1 is a schematic view of a mechanism with which the present invention may be used.
  • Fig. 2 is a schematic diagrammatic view of one mechanism for using the present invention.
  • Fig. 3 is a schematic diagrammatic view of another mechanism for using the present invention.
  • a stack of inserts 5 is provided as well as a stack of envelopes 6.
  • Each stack is provided in hoppers (not shown) face down.
  • Each letter or insert assembly 5 may have a message and a personalized address thereon and may also have other codes thereon.
  • Each envelope assembly 6 has a front panel 7 which has a personalized address, which corresponds to the personalized address on the letter assembly 5 it is to be combined with, as well as a return address.
  • Each envelope 6 has a rear panel 8 attached to a front panel 7 by a fold line 10 and flap 9 attached to a fold line 11 to the front panel 7.
  • the envelope assembly 6 is also provided with end flaps 60 extending from the end edges of the front panel 7.
  • this envelope looks like an ordinary mailing envelope.
  • the insert material is first placed on the front panel 7, and the side end flaps 60 are then folded over the letter. Thereafter, the rear panel 8 is folded over the end flaps 60 and glued. Lastly, the seal flap 9 is folded over the rear panel 8 and adhered thereto so that the finished envelope looks identical to an ordinary business envelope.
  • the stacks of inserts 5 and envelopes 6 are preferably on either side of a pair of superimposed conveyor means 20-21.
  • the stacks of letters 5 and envelopes 6 are fed from the bottom by any conventional feeding means, such as vacuum means, so that the insert 5 is deposited on the upper conveyor means 21 and the envelope is on the lower conveyor means 20.
  • the numbering of the inserts in the stacks are in inverse order so that additional inserts may be placed on top of it.
  • the letters 5 and envelopes 6 have code indicia thereon and the machine is provided with reading means 23 and 24, beneath each stack of letters 5 and envelopes 6, respectively. These reading means are designed to read codes or other indicia on the letters 5 and envelopes 6 to insure that the proper envelope 6 is matched with the proper letter 5.
  • the reading and matching is performed before the inserts and letters are fed from the stacks.
  • the reading devices 23 and 24 may also read other indicia on letters 5 or envelopes 6 which directs the machine to have additional inserts deposited on the envelope.
  • the pre-cut envelope assemblies 6 and the respective pre-cut letter insert assemblies 5 are fed from the bottom of their stacks.
  • the reading mechanisms 23 and 24 are mounted adjacent to the bottom of the stacks so that the identifying data on the letter insert assemblies and the envelope assemblies are read before they are fed from the stacks to the conveyor. If they do not match, the operator is alerted immediately, and the feeding of the insert and the letters is stopped for correction of the problem. However, the machine can continue to fold and glue previusly-fed and matched letter inserts and envelope assemblies.
  • the envelope 6 and the letter 5 move along by conveyors 20-21 until they reach the diverting mechanism 30.
  • the movement of conveyors 20-21 is staggered so that both feed mechanisms call feed from the bottom of the stacks of letters 5 and envelopes 6 simultaneously.
  • additional feed mechanisms may be provided either behind conveyor means 20-21 or downstream thereof to feed additional pre-cut inserts to the conveyor.
  • a continuous web feed means 28 which will supply other inserts which have not been pre-cut but which are cut before they are fed to the conveyor system 20-21.
  • the diverting assembly 30 comprising downward ramp mechanism 31 adapted to deflect the envelope assembly 6 downwardly onto conveyor means 40 and upward ramp means 32 adapted to move the insert assembly 5 upwardly for insertion in a folding assembly (not shown).
  • the conveyor means 40 comprises a continuously-moving conveyor 41 which may be driven by a wheel and chain assembly (not shown).
  • the conveyor 41 has a plurality of transversely-located upwardly-extending longitudinally-spaced drive pins 44.
  • the drive pins 44 are located on each side of the center line of the conveyor 41.
  • the folding mechanism which folds the letter assembly 5 before it is deposited onto the envelope assembly 6 may be any well known mechanism, which will fold the letter assembly 5 in two or more folds, for example, a mechanism similar to the one shown in U.S. Patent No. 1,879,990. This will fold the letter assembly 5 in two or more folds depending on the particular type of folding desired.
  • the folding mechanism is a standard folding mechanism and, hence, will not be described in greater detail.
  • the letter assembly 5 After the letter assembly 5 is folded, it is moved to an inclined chute 53 which overlies the conveyor 41, and terminates in a horizontal toe 54.
  • the letter assembly slides down the chute 53 until it rests on the toe 54.
  • Rollers (not shown) may be used to push the letters downwardly on the slide 53, if desired.
  • the toe 54 is positioned in close adjacency over the conveyor 41.
  • the chute 53 has longitudinal slits 55 therein to permit the pins 44 of the conveyor 41 to move therethrough. Guide rails (not shown) may also be provided to prevent the letter assembly 5 from angling when sliding down chute 53.
  • chute 53 allows letters 5 to move down to toe 54 at least us quickly as it takes the envelopes to be positioned below toe 54 so that each personalized letter assembly 5 will be deposited on its respective personalized envelope assembly 6.
  • the envelope assembly 6 with letter assembly 5 thereon may then be moved by pins 44 beneath an additional insert depositing assembly (not shown) where additional inserts may be deposited, if desired.
  • the combination may then be moved by pins 44 beneath an adhesive applicator (not shown) which applies adhesive to the envelope asembly 6.
  • the adhesive applicator may be any conventional type of applicator, such as a sprayer, a roller, or a spotter. However, a pre-gummed envelope may also be used, if desired.
  • the combination is then moved to an envelope wrapping assembly (not shown) which folds the envelope.
  • the folded and edge sealed envelope assembly 6 is then moved onto a second conveyor (not shown) which is at an angle (preferably at a right angle) to the first conveyor 41.
  • the second conveyor moves the envelope past a flap folding mechanism (not shown) which folds the flap 9 as each envelope moves past it.
  • An adhesive is applied to flap 9 by a suitable applicator as the envelope assembly 6 moves past it.
  • the envelope assembly 6 is then moved past a suitable pressure roller which seals flap 9 and is then moved off the conveyor.
  • a document 100 is shown in a stack 101 held in a holder 102 (shown schematically) which is located adjacent a scanning mechanism generally referred to by the reference number 105.
  • the scanning mechanism 105 the embodiment of Fig. 2 in a lens mechanism which projects the characters 106 onto a master means 108 and the scanning mechanism 105 in the embodiment shown in Fig. 3 is a laser scanner which scans a bar code 107.
  • the sheet 100 is fed from the stack 101 by a feeding mechanism 104, which has been shown greatly simplified and schematically for convenience. However, if the data is not correct, the sheet 100 is not fed and remains in the stack until the malfunction is corrected.
  • the presented characters 106 on a document 100 are scanned by a scanner 105 in the form of a lens mechanism 110 to derive an array of voltages representative of the information content of incremental elements that collectively form the presented characters 106.
  • the scanner 105 is a well-known mechanism for reading OCR and comprises a lens mechanism 110 which projects the characters 106 as images 111 onto equipment (hardware) 108 where the comparison can be made with predetermined comparison data.
  • the equipment 108 will compare the characters (images 111) with pre-existing comparative data to determine whether they match. If there is a match, the documents 100 will be fed from the stack 101.
  • the array of representative voltages which are detected are quantized at plural quantizing levels whereby a corresponding plurality of data field geometric configurations are developed.
  • the data field geometric configurations are developed.
  • the data field geometric configurations are represented by binary signals and are in approximate conformity with the geometric pattern of the presented characters 106.
  • Each data field geometric configuration represents a normalized scanned pattern, thereby compensating for nonuniformities in the presented character.
  • the information content of discrete areas of the plural data field geometric configurations is compared in a sequential, or other feature analysis manner, with predetermined voltage characters and the compared discrete area is characterized as one of said predetermined voltage characters in response to a favorable comparison.
  • the presented characters are identified known types when a sequence of characterization is obtained in a pre-established order associated with that known type.
  • the scan 105 shown in Fig. 3 is a well known system for reading bar codes 107 and comprises a bar code laser reader 120 which sends out a laser beam 121 that scans up and down the bar code 107. At the same time the laser beam 121 also sweeps across, or rasters, the bar code 107. This function allows the reader 120 to scan for a good print.
  • the bar code 107 is scanned (rastered) several times by the laser beam 121.
  • the scanner 105 will accept a document 100 if the scanner beam 121 makes three consecutive correct scans. If there is less than three consecutive correct scans after a predetermined interval, the scanner 105 will reject the document 200, the machine stops so that the malfunction can be corrected.
  • the document 100 will be fed from the stack 101 by the feeder 104. Since today's non-impact printers do not always print a solid black bar, a method of reading the bar code several times by rastering is essential. The reader is constantly looking for bars with solid print coverage.
  • policies on a daily basis as they are needed. Also, it is not necessary to have pre-printed policies for each state, but rather produce them on a current need basis on a daily basis.
  • An example of this would be the ability to feed from two personalized stacks of paper and interleave sheets within one policy.
  • two feeders would face each other and delivery paper to the same assembly station. With reading before feeding it would be possible to read each sequence number simultaneously and know which feeder should feed a sheet of paper into the assembly station by sequence number. This would not be possible with a machine that requires the sheet to be fed before it is read, since only after feeding would the machine know what the sequence number was and it would not know whether to switch to the other feeder.
  • a further advantage in the processing of payroll checks with a reading before feeding logic is that payroll checks are produced for the previous weeks work. In many large organizations an employee is not longer with the company at the time the check is being produced, or an error has been identified in the calculation of the check. With the ability to read before feeding, it is possible to have the post processing equipment instructed that when that particular check is identified in the feeding station to divert it out of the normal stream without further processing. This is not possible with a mechanism with a read during feeding as the check is already on its way to additional processing before it is identified.
  • the method of accumulating investment statements for mailing purposes by a reading while feeding method is based on reading an optical mark to indicate a beginning of group on one sheet and an end of group on the final sheet of the group.
  • the statements are then prepared and binary bar codes are placed on the statement pages to indicate the beginning of a group along with how many checks should be accompanied with that particular statement, and then an end of group mark on the last page of the statement.
  • the method of operation is that the statements are placed in one hopper of the mailing machine and the checks in another hopper.
  • the statement pages are fed into the machine and as they go by the reader the beginning of statement marks are recognized and also how many checks should accompany that particular statement.
  • the remaining pages of the statement are fed into the machine and the group of statements move to the next input station where the checks are assembled.
  • the checks are then fed into the machine and counted.
  • Billing statements can vary from one to hundreds of pages. Most retail type billing documents are one or two pages in length, however, industrial and commercial sales can vary up to hundreds of pages in length. These complex transactions have to be monitored carefully in order to verify their completeness.
  • Stock certificates are relegated to one of the most types of security documents transferred between parties. Since the value of one certificate can amount to substantial sums of money it is necessary to verify that the correct certificate was in fact sent to the proper party. A complete audit trail must be accomplished to establish a record of continuity in the production of the certificate, the amount the certificate represents, the owner of the certificate, etc. This can only be done by reading a substantial amount of data on the certificate and matching documents, and it could be necessary to read the data more than one time for total security validation. Reading before feeding is the only method that affords this type of accuracy and control.
  • Reading before feeding is the only automated way of accumulating these books into their proper sequence and assure that each page has been placed in the proper position within the book.
  • An example would be in a savings account check book where there will be a personalized signature page, personalized deposit pages, a group of personalized checks, then a personalized reorder page, and subsequent personalized checks.
  • Each of these various types of documents can be in separate feeding hoppers or in some cases they could be in only one or two hoppers. However, it must be ascertained that each sheet about to be fed into the accumulating hopper does in fact belong to the previous group of sheets.
  • packages, boxes, and containers are moved automatically from one conveyor to another throughout the building in order to arrive at particular stocking bins, or to definitive loading docks for final distribution.
  • An example of finding the proper product in a bin location by reading before feeding would be that certain items were stored in predetermined locations throughout the warehouse.
  • the present invention provides an improved mechanism having the capability of reading before feeding, either by OMR, BCR, OCR or Pattern Recognition.
  • the improved mechanism provides means for preventing further feeding of documents from a stack or repository of documents if the data that is read does not compare with the comparison data. This facilitates the problem of having to stop the machine and correct the malfunction before any more sheets are fed.
