Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To detect the end of character writing in the timing corresponding to the input speed of an information input person and to move to recognition by changing the time of transition from the completion of character input to the recognition according to the time of transition from a specific stroke to a next stroke of a character inputted by a touch key input means. SOLUTION: An input control part 31 judges whether the time t1 from the end of input of a 1st stroke to the start of input of a 2nd stroke is shorter than a time A1. When the time t1 is shorter than the time A1, it is judged that the hand input is faster than standard input and a quick mode wherein the time of transition to recognition is short is judged. When the time t1 is longer than the time A1, the input control part 31 judges whether or not the time t1 is longer than the time B1. When the time t1 is longer than the time B1, it is judged that the hand input is slower than the standard input and a slow mode wherein the time of transition to recognition is long is judged. When the time t1 is shorter than the time B1, it is judged that the hand input is standard input and a standard mode wherein the time of transition to recognition is a standard time is judged.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an information input device for manually inputting a client name or the like when performing a transfer transaction in an automatic transaction device such as an automatic teller machine used in a financial institution such as a bank. And a recording medium in which a control program for manually inputting the client name or the like is recorded.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, as an automatic transaction apparatus for performing a transfer transaction, an information input apparatus for manually inputting the details of a transfer such as a client name has been put to practical use. For example, a character or the like is written and input into the input frame with a pen or a finger, and the input character is recognized.

As described above, when a plurality of input frames are used in a handwriting / fingerwriting input in which a character or the like is written and input with a pen or a finger, when a character is input in an adjacent frame, the writing of the character is completed. (End of input) may be detected and the process may proceed to recognition. At this time, in the case of inputting the last character, input end detection cannot be performed in the same manner, so that recognition is started by monitoring the time that has elapsed since the last time when the pen or finger was released from the input frame. The same applies to the case where there is only one input frame.

However, in the case of transition by time monitoring, there is a possibility that a person with a slow input may shift to recognition in the middle of the input, and a person with a fast input recognizes that the user must wait for a certain period of time after the end of the input. You may feel frustrated because it does not shift to.

To solve this problem, Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No.
Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 49526 (document editing device) describes a case of setting manually and a method of automatically setting the speed based on the operation speed of an input person.

However, the above-mentioned Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 10-495
In Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 26 (document editing device), automatic setting is based on the premise that a plurality of character input frames are used. Therefore, when there is only one input frame, automatic setting cannot be performed. It was inconvenient to monitor for a certain period of time.

[0007]

As described above, according to the present invention, if the timing of shifting to character recognition after writing a character is constant, the mode shifts to recognition in the middle of input depending on the input speed of the information input person. It removes the drawback that it does not easily shift to recognition even though the input has been completed, and it is possible to detect the end of character writing at the timing according to the input speed of the information input person and shift to recognition. It is intended to provide an information input device.

It is another object of the present invention to provide a recording medium in which a control program of an information input device capable of detecting completion of character writing at a timing corresponding to an input speed of an information input person and shifting to recognition is recorded. I have.

That is, the dialogue management unit 36 controls the switching display of various input screens on the liquid crystal display device 6, the handwriting of handwritten input characters, and the like, and sets the input screen configuration in the input control unit 31 and the designation unit 33.

When performing handwriting input such as input processing of a client name, the liquid crystal display device 6 has a character input area 41 for inputting characters and an input content display area 4 as shown in FIG.
2. In addition to displaying an input screen having a character correction button 43 (client name input screen), a guidance message "Scramble the client name one character at a time" is displayed.

Here, the operation of the information input device 7 when performing a handwriting input such as a transfer person name input process will be described with reference to flowcharts shown in FIGS.

In common to all the examples, a timer value until the recognition is started from the detection of the completion of the character input (the pen or finger for writing the character moves away from the input screen, and no character input has been performed for a certain period of time thereafter). The time for determining that the character input is completed) is as follows.

At the start of each transaction, the system initially operates in a standard mode in which a standard value is set, but depending on the conditions as shown in the example, a slow mode in which a slow value is set for a slow input person or a quick value in which a fast value is set. Is set to operate in the quick mode in which is set, and hereinafter, the character input of the transaction is assumed to operate in that mode.

However, in the example of FIG. 7, the mode is changed halfway to a suitable mode based on the result determined from various processing speeds of the input user.

When the past input mode is recorded by using an IC card or the like, it may be possible to operate in that mode from the beginning at the start of the transaction. According to this proposal, it is possible to change to a suitable mode even when the input speed is increased due to improvement of the input due to improvement in input or the like.

First, the mode determination by monitoring the start time of the input of the next image will be described with reference to FIG.

That is, the input control unit 31 determines whether the time (t1) from the end of the input of the first stroke (ST1) to the start of the input of the second stroke (ST2) is shorter than the time A1. It is determined whether or not it is (ST3). According to this determination, when the time (t1) is shorter than the time A1, the input control unit 31
It is determined that the manual input is faster than the standard, and the quick mode in which the transition time to the recognition is short (t = Tq) is determined (ST4).

If the time (t1) is longer than the time A1 according to the judgment in the step 3, the input control unit 31
It is determined whether the time (t1) is longer than the time B1 (ST5). By this determination, the time (t1) becomes the time B1
If it is longer, the input control unit 31 determines that the manual input is later than the standard, and determines the slow mode in which the transition time to the recognition is long (t = Ts) (ST6).

If the time (t1) is shorter than the time B1 according to the determination in step 5, the input control unit 31
It is determined that manual input is standard, and the transition time to recognition is standard (t =
The standard mode of Tn) is determined (ST7).

Thus, the recognition start timer value (mode) as the transition time to recognition can be determined based on the transition speed from the first stroke to the second stroke.

Similarly to the first and second strokes, the transition speed of the second stroke to the third stroke, the third stroke to the fourth stroke, and the like are measured, and a recognition start timer as a transition time to the recognition is measured. Determine the value (mode).

The above-mentioned time (t1) is a time from the end of the first stroke to the start of the second stroke. Time A1 and time B1 are
It is a fixed value, for example, A1 is 0.8 seconds, B1 is 1.
0 seconds, and A1 ≦ t1 ≦ B1 is a standard mode standard. t is a time required to shift from the completion of character input to recognition, Tn is a set value in the standard mode, and Tq
Is a set value in the quick mode, and Ts is a set value in the slow mode. For example, Tn is 1.0 second, Tq is 0.7 second, and Ts is 1.5 seconds. is there.

Further, a key used when each mode is determined.
Counter is provided in the input control unit 31, and the quick mode is
When judged, Q COUNT is counted up,
When the slow mode is determined, S COUNT is a count
When the standard mode is determined,
Is counted up. This gives Q C
OUNT counts the number of times the cause of quick mode is detected
Then S COUNT is the time when the slow mode factor is detected.
Counting the number, COUNT detected the cause of the standard mode
Count the number of times.

Next, the mode judgment by monitoring the number of times of correction of a character will be described with reference to FIG.

That is, when the input of the character is completed (ST11), the input control unit 31 outputs the input content to the character recognition unit 34 via the character input unit 32. Thus, the characters recognized by the character recognition unit 34 are managed by the dialog management unit 36 and displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 6 (S
T12). When this display is made, the input control unit 3
1 judges whether the correction button 43 has been pressed down (ST13). When determining that the correction button 43 has been pressed down, the input control unit 31 determines the number of corrections (M C
OUNT = M COUNT + 1) (ST1).
4) It is determined whether or not the count value is equal to or greater than a predetermined number (C1) (ST15).

According to this determination, the count value becomes a predetermined number of times (C
1) When judging the above, the input control section 31 judges whether or not the time (t) for shifting from the current character input completion to the recognition is smaller than the set value (Ts) in the slow mode (ST16). ). By this determination, the time (t) is changed to the set value (T
s), the input control unit 31 determines
It is determined that the set value (Ts) in the slow mode is too short, and a change to further extend the timer value by 0.1 second is determined (ST17).

When it is determined in step 16 that the time (t) is longer than the set value (Ts), the input control unit 3
1 judges whether the time (t) for shifting from the completion of the character input to the recognition to the set value (Ts) in the slow mode (S).
T18).

When it is not determined in step 13 that the correction button 43 is pressed, the input control unit 31 determines whether or not the next character is input (ST19), and the next character is not input. When the next character is input, it is determined that the mode is not changed (S13).
T20). When the count value is determined to be equal to or less than the predetermined number of times (C1) in step 15, the input control unit 31
Determines that there is no change in mode (ST20).

In steps 17 and 18,
Number of times the cause of slow mode is detected S COUNT is counted up.

In this way, if correction is continuously made after character recognition, it is considered that the timer value for recognizing is too short, so that recognizing has been shifted to halfway through character input, and subsequent timer values are set to Slow values (slow values). Mode).

If the mode is already the slow mode, the slow mode
It is determined that the w value is too short, and the timer value can be further extended.

That is, when the same character is corrected consecutively one or more times C, it is determined that t (the time required for transition from completion of character input to recognition) is short and transition to recognition is being performed during input, and t is changed to be longer. Is what you do.

Next, the mode judgment by monitoring the input start time will be described with reference to FIG.

That is, the input control unit 31 determines the start of input of the first character from the state in which the guidance is displayed (ST21) (ST22). When the input start is determined, the input control is started from the guidance display. Time to (t
It is determined whether or not 2) is shorter than time A2 (ST2).
3). If it is determined that the time (t2) is shorter than the time A2, the input control unit 31 determines that the input start timing is earlier than the standard, and determines the quick mode in which the transition time to the recognition is short (ST24).

However, the conditions of step 21 in which the determination of step 22 is made include a standard mode (t = Tn),
The count value in the standard mode is a predetermined number (C2 (fixed value) =
3), the count value in the slow mode is 0 (S COUNT
= 0), the count value of the quick mode is 0 (Q COU
This is the case of the guidance display where NT = 0).

If the time (t2) is longer than the time A2 according to the judgment in the step 23, the input control unit 31
Determines whether the time (t2) is longer than the time B2 (ST25). If it is determined that the time (t2) is longer than the time B2, the input control unit 31 determines that the input start timing is later than the standard, and determines the slow mode in which the transition time to the recognition is long (ST26).

If the time (t2) is shorter than the time B2 according to the judgment in the step 25, the input control unit 31
Determines that the input start timing is standard, and determines the standard mode in which the transition time to recognition is standard (ST27).

Thus, the recognition start timer value (mode) as a transition time to recognition can be determined based on the time from the display of the guidance to the start of input of the first character.

The above-mentioned time (t2) is the time from the display of the guidance to the start of the input of the first character. Time A
2. The time B2 is a fixed value.
0 seconds and B2 are 10.0 seconds, and A2 ≦ t2 ≦ B2 is a standard mode standard.

Further, a counter used when each mode is determined is provided in the input control unit 31, and when the quick mode is determined (ST24), Q When COUNT is counted up and the slow mode is determined (ST2
6), S COUNT is counted up, and when the standard mode is determined (ST27), COUNT is counted up.

As a result, even if the value deviates from the standard mode, the mode may not be changed immediately because there may be a chance. When changing modes. As for the input start time, only the detection is performed.

Next, referring to FIG. 8, a description will be given of the mode determination by investigating the line drawing speed.

That is, at the end of the input of the first stroke, the input control unit 31 calculates the speed of drawing the character input line (v: character input line drawing speed (mm / sec)) (ST31), and calculates the line drawing speed (v ) Is lower than the speed (A3) (ST)
32). By this determination, the line drawing speed (v) becomes the speed (A
If the speed is lower than 3), the input control unit 31 determines the line drawing speed (v).
Is determined to be slower than the standard, and the slow mode in which the transition time to the recognition is long is determined (ST33).

If the drawing speed (v) is higher than the speed (A3), the input control unit 31 determines whether the drawing speed (v) is higher than the speed (B3). (ST34). If the line drawing speed (v) is higher than the speed (B3), the input control unit 31 determines
Determines that the line drawing speed (v) is faster than the standard, and determines the quick mode in which the transition time to the recognition is short (ST3).
5).

If the line drawing speed (v) is lower than the speed (B3), the input control unit 31 determines that the line drawing speed (v) is normal, and the transition time to recognition is standard. Is determined (ST36).

The above-described line drawing speed (v) is the speed at which the first character input line is drawn. The speed A3 and the speed B3 are fixed values, and B3 ≦ v ≦ A3 is a standard mode standard.

Further, a counter used when each mode is determined is provided in the input control section 31, and when the quick mode is determined (ST35), Q When COUNT is counted up and the slow mode is determined (ST3
4), S COUNT is counted up, and when the standard mode is determined (ST36), COUNT is counted up.

As a result, even if the value deviates from the standard mode standard, the mode is not changed immediately because the accident may occur. When changing modes. As for the input start time, only the detection is performed.

Next, the mode determination in a series of transactions will be described with reference to FIG. In this case, the timing for shifting to the recognition of the transaction is determined based on the tendency through a series of input operations shown in FIGS.

That is, the input control unit 31 checks the number of times each mode is determined by monitoring the input start time shown in FIG. 7 (ST41), investigates the line drawing speed shown in FIG. The number of times each mode is determined by monitoring the start time of image input and the number of corrections of characters shown in FIG.
T42), whether the number of times the standard mode is determined is smaller than the number of times the slow mode is determined (COUN)
T <S COUNT) is determined (ST43).

That is, in the case of FIG.
6 and 7, the number of each mode is counted. In the case of FIG. 6, the number of slow modes is counted in steps 17 and 18. In the case of FIG. 7, the number of each mode is counted in steps 24, 26 and 27. In the case of FIG. 8, steps 33, 35, 3
At 6, the number of times of each mode is counted.

As a result of the judgments in steps 42 and 43, if the number of times the standard mode is judged is smaller than the number of times the slow mode is judged, the input control section 31 checks whether or not the current mode is the slow mode (ST44). If the mode is not the mode, the transition time to the recognition is set to the slow mode (ST4).
5) In the case of the slow mode, the transition time to the recognition is set to the slow mode further 0.1 second later (ST46).

If it is determined in step 43 that the number of times the standard mode has been determined is greater than the number of times the slow mode has been determined, the input control unit 31 determines that the number of times the standard mode has been determined is the number of times the quick mode has been determined. Less than (COUNT <Q COUNT) (S
T47). As a result of this determination, if the number of times the standard mode is determined is smaller than the number of times the quick mode is determined, the input control unit 31 checks whether or not the current mode is the quick mode (S
T48) In the case of the quick mode, the mode is not changed (S
T49) If the mode is not the quick mode, the transition time to the recognition is set to the quick mode (ST50).

If the number of times the standard mode is determined is greater than the number of times the quick mode is determined as a result of the determination in step 47, the input control unit 31 sets the transition time to recognition to the standard mode (ST51). ).

As described above, the transition time to the recognition may be individually set as shown in FIGS. Further, as shown in FIG. 9, the transition time to the recognition may be set based on the total judgment of the number of times of judgment of each mode in FIGS.

As described above, at the start of each transaction, the system initially operates in the standard mode in which standard values are set.
According to the various conditions described above, it is changed to operate in the slow mode in which the slow value is set for the slow input person or in the quick mode in which the quick value is set for the fast input person. It operates in the mode.

Thus, the end of character writing can be detected at a timing corresponding to the input speed of the information input person, and the process can shift to recognition.
