The CR processing system will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows an OC as an embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating an overall configuration of an R processing system. As shown in FIG. 1, the OCR processing system includes a reading terminal 1, a data server 2, a correction terminal 3, and a LAN 4 connecting these terminals. The reading terminal 1, the data server 2, and the correction terminal 3 are configured by a computer such as a PC. This computer programs programs on a computer main body equipped with a CPU and memory, a user interface device such as a keyboard / mouse, a display, and a removable storage medium such as a magnetic disk such as a floppy disk, a flash memory, and an optical disk. It has a storage medium processing device for reading and writing various information such as data and data. Reading terminal 1, data server 2,
Each of the correction terminals 3 realizes a function as an OCR processing system by a program read from a removable storage medium by a storage medium processing device, for example. The reading terminal 1 has a scanner 5 for reading a form image.
Is connected. The reading terminal 1 and the correction terminal 3
Can exist more than once.

The scanner 5 reads a form image in batch units (batch units) set on the form, and transfers the read form image data to the reading terminal 1 in batch units.

As shown in FIG. 2, the reading terminal 1 recognizes a batch-based form image read by the scanner 5, obtains code data corresponding to characters and symbols, and outputs a batch-based code as a recognition result. A function 21 for transferring data (hereinafter, referred to as form data) to the data server 2 via the LAN 4 and an attribute information indicating that the form data is of high importance are artificially included in the form-based form data transferred to the data server 2. An attribute indicating that this is highly important to the batch-based form data to be transferred to the data server 2 based on the recognition result, such as the recognition rate of the batch-based form image, while being added based on a basic judgment. A function 22 for automatically adding information. In the following description, the form data in batch units is simply referred to as “batch”.

The data server 2 has a function 23 for storing the batch transferred from the reading terminal 1 and a list of the stored batch names along with the status information, date information, important attribute information, etc. of each batch, as well as each correction terminal. Function 24 to distribute to 3
And a function 25 for distributing a corresponding batch in response to a batch transfer request from the correction terminal 3.

The correction terminal 3 has a function 26 for displaying a list of batch names distributed from the data server 2 together with the status, date, and important attributes of each batch on a display;
A function 27 for narrowing down the batch to be corrected by the self-correction terminal from the list of batch names by using status, date, important attributes, and the like as keys, and an operator of the correction terminal 3 from the narrowed list of batch names. A function 28 for transmitting the distribution request of the batch selected by the data server 2 to the data server 2, a function 29 for assisting the correction terminal operator in manually correcting the batch transferred from the data server 2, and attaching / detaching the corrected batch A function 30 for outputting to a flexible storage medium in a specific file format.

As described above, the functions of the reading terminal 1, the data server 2, and the correction terminal 3 are realized by a program provided from a removable storage medium.

Next, the operation of the OCR processing system will be described.

First, in the reading terminal 1, a form image is read by the scanner 5 in batch units. Next, the reading terminal 1 takes in the data of the form image in batches read by the scanner 5. Subsequently, the reading terminal 1 performs recognition processing for each of the captured form images to obtain code data corresponding to characters, symbols, and the like on the form. The reading terminal 1 obtains form data in batches by repeating this recognition process for one batch. At this time, a process of assigning an important attribute to the batch is performed as needed.

FIG. 3 shows a processing procedure in the reading terminal 1.

When the OCR processing program for the reading terminal is started in the reading terminal 1, first, the display shown in FIG.
Is displayed (step 30).
1).

As shown in FIG. 4, the process selection screen includes an option button 31 for selecting whether to read the form image in units of single form or batch.
32, and a check box 33 for setting whether or not to assign an important attribute to a single-sheet or batch-based form from which an image is to be read.
On this process selection screen, the operator can set whether or not to assign important attributes to the form reading unit and batch (step 302).

Here, the form or batch to which an important attribute is to be assigned is, for example, a form or batch in which it is known in advance that a transaction needs to be performed with priority in terms of time in the purchase transaction of goods. Forms or batches that need to be handled specially in the form or in all batches. In short, when the processing of the form or batch is to be performed urgently or with priority, the check box 33 is checked to assign an important attribute to the form or batch.

The flowchart of FIG. 3 shows a procedure in a case where a process in batch units is selected on the process selection screen of FIG. 4 and the setting of assigning an important attribute is set. When the [OK] button 34 is pressed after this setting is completed, recognition processing for the form image is started (step 30).
3).

This recognition process is repeatedly performed for one batch of form images (step 304). When the recognition processing for one batch is completed, the reading terminal 1 counts the number of rejected characters generated in the recognition processing for one batch (step 305). If more rejected characters occur than a predetermined value, an important attribute is assigned to the batch (step 30).
6,307). Since a batch in which a large number of rejected characters are generated requires time and effort to correct data in the correction terminal 3, such a batch is the same as a batch that is known in advance to need to be processed preferentially. Is given an important attribute. The process of assigning important attributes based on the number of rejected characters is automatically performed by an OCR processing program for a reading terminal.

The above-described batch-based recognition processing is performed by the reading terminal 1.
Is repeated for all batches stored in.
After the recognition processing of all batches is completed (step 308), the reading terminal 1 sends all form data as recognition results to the LAN.
4 to the data server 2 (step 30).
9).

The data server 2 accumulates the form data of each batch transferred from the reading terminal 1 and distributes it to the correction terminal 3.

The procedure of batch distribution from the data server 2 to the correction terminal 3 will be described with reference to FIGS.

The data server 2 manages the status and date of each stored batch. The status of the batch includes “waiting for correction”, “suspension of correction”, “waiting for output”, “output completed”, and the like. "Waiting for correction" means that the correction has not yet been made at the correction terminal 3, "Correction aborted" means that the call from the correction terminal 3 has been received, but the correction processing has been temporarily suspended, and "Waiting for output" has the correction The state in which the correction at the terminal 3 has been completed but the processing of outputting the correction result to the storage medium has not been completed, and the "output completed" is the state in which the correction at the correction terminal 3 has been completed and the output to the storage medium has been completed. .

As shown in FIG. 2, the data server 2 periodically distributes a list of the latest accumulated batches to the correction terminal 3 together with status information and date information of each batch (FIG. 2-24). When there are a plurality of correction terminals 3, the same information is distributed to the plurality of correction terminals 3. At this time, the information of the important attribute assigned to the batch is also delivered at the same time.

When the correction terminal 3 receives the batch list distributed from the data server 2, it displays this on a display (FIG. 2-26). FIG. 5 shows a screen of the batch list immediately after distribution in the correction terminal. This screen displays a batch name 51, a status 52, a read date 53, and the presence / absence 54 of an important attribute for all the batches stored in the data server 2.

Here, the operator of the correction terminal 3 can narrow the batches to be corrected from the displayed batch list by the following operation (FIG. 2-2).
7).

As shown in FIG. 5, on the batch list screen,
The status of the batch to be corrected is "Waiting for correction"
A status selection box 55 is provided for selecting from among "correction suspension", "output waiting", "output completed", and "important". Here, only one of the four statuses other than “important”, that is, “waiting for correction”, “interruption of correction”, “waiting for output”, and “output completed” can be selected at the same time. The status of "important" and one of the other four statuses "waiting for correction", "suspended correction", "waiting for output", and "output completed" can be simultaneously selected. The status of "important" can be selected independently.

Also, "AND" is displayed on the batch list screen.
Search condition buttons 56, 57, 5 for "OR" and "NAND"
8 are provided. "Important" status and 4 other statuses "Waiting for correction", "Aborting correction", "Waiting for output"
When one status of “output completed” is selected at the same time, one search condition selected from the search condition buttons 56, 57, and 58 of “AND”, “OR”, and “NAND” corresponds to the two search conditions. It is set as a search condition for status. That is, if "AND" is selected,
If a batch that satisfies two statuses at the same time is a search target and “OR” is selected, a batch that satisfies one of the two statuses is a search target and “N” is selected.
If "AND" is selected, a batch that does not satisfy either of the two statuses is searched.

Further, the batch list screen is provided with a batch number input box 59 for specifying a correction target by a batch number and a reading date / time input box 60 for specifying a correction target by a reading date / time. .

Next, a specific example of batch narrowing will be described with reference to FIGS.

As shown in FIG. 6, the statuses “waiting for correction” and “important” are selected on the batch list screen.
It is assumed that “OR” is selected as a search condition for one status. The batch number input box and the read date and time input box are blank. When the search button is designated, the batch display is narrowed down based on the narrowing conditions, and as a result, the batches are narrowed down to five.

As shown in FIG. 7, the statuses "waiting for correction" and "important" are selected on the batch list screen, and "AN" is used as a search condition for the two statuses.
It is assumed that "D" has been selected. The batch number input box and the read date and time input box are blank. When the search button 61 is designated, the batch display is narrowed down based on the narrowing conditions, and as a result, the batch is narrowed down to one.

Further, as shown in FIG. 8, when only the status of "important" is selected on the display search screen of the batch list, the two batches to which the important attribute is added are narrowed down.

As described above, the operator of the correction terminal 3 narrows down the batches to be corrected on the batch list display screen by specifying the narrowing-down conditions such as the batch status, the important attribute, the batch number, and the reading date. be able to. Therefore, when a large number of batches are stored in the data server 2 and a large number of batches are displayed on the initial batch list screen, and the target batch is difficult to be found, the narrowing operation is performed. 3 makes it easy to select a batch, and can improve work efficiency.

When a batch to be corrected is selected at the correction terminal 3, a distribution request for the batch is sent to the data server 2 (FIG. 2-28). Data server 2
Distributes the batch to the requesting correction terminal 3 in response to the distribution request, and updates the status of the batch from “waiting for correction” to “waiting for output” (FIG. 2-28).

Upon receiving the batch distributed from the data server 2, the correction terminal 3 corrects the batch in a predetermined form data correction environment (FIG. 2-29). The data is output to a removable storage medium in a predetermined file format (FIG. 2-3).
0). Thereafter, the correction terminal 3 notifies the data server 2 of “output completed”. In response to this notification, the data server 2 updates the status of the batch from “waiting for output” to “output completed”.

When the correction of the batch at the correction terminal 3 is temporarily interrupted, "correction interruption" is notified from the correction terminal 3 to the data server 2, and the data server 2 receives the notification, and receives the status of the corresponding batch. To "Correction suspension".

Next, as another embodiment, an OCR processing system for automatically distributing a batch to which an important attribute has been added from a data server to a correction terminal will be described.

The overall configuration of this OCR processing system conforms to FIG. That is, the OCR processing system of the present embodiment includes the reading terminal 1, the data server 2, the correction terminal 3, and the LAN 4 connecting these.

FIG. 9 is a block diagram showing functions of the reading terminal 1, the data server 2, and the correction terminal 3 in the OCR processing system. As shown in FIG. 1, the reading terminal 1 in the OCR processing system recognizes a batch-based form image read by the scanner 5 to obtain code data corresponding to characters, symbols, and the like. The code data (hereinafter referred to as form data) is LA
A function 91 for transferring the data to the data server 2 through N4, and attribute information indicating that the data is of high importance is added to the form data in batches to be transferred to the data server 2 based on artificial judgment, A function 92 for automatically adding attribute information indicating that the data is of high importance to the batch-based form data to be transferred to the data server 2 based on the recognition result such as the recognition rate of the batch-based form image. Have.

The data server 2 has a function 93 for storing the batch transferred from the reading terminal 1 and a function 94 for automatically delivering each stored batch to each correction terminal 3. The batch automatic distribution function 94 includes a function 95 of distributing a batch to which an important attribute is assigned to a specific correction terminal 3 with priority over other batches.

The correction terminal 3 has a function 96 for assisting the correction terminal operator in manually correcting the batch distributed from the data server 2 and outputs the corrected batch to a removable storage medium in a specific file format. And a function 97 for performing

As described above, the functions of the reading terminal 1, the data server 2, and the correction terminal 3 are realized by a program provided from a removable storage medium.

Next, the operation of automatic batch distribution by the OCR processing system will be described.

First, in the reading terminal 1, a form image is read by the scanner 5 in batch units. Next, the reading terminal 1 takes in the data of the form image in batches read by the scanner 5. Subsequently, the reading terminal 1 performs recognition processing for each of the captured form images to obtain code data corresponding to characters, symbols, and the like on the form. The reading terminal 1 obtains the form data in batches by repeating this recognition process for one batch (FIG. 9-91).
At this time, a process of assigning an important attribute to the batch is performed as needed. Assigning important attributes to batches
As described with reference to FIG. 2, the determination is performed based on the artificial judgment in the reading terminal 1, and is also performed automatically based on the number of rejected characters generated in recognition of the form image in batches (FIG. 9-92). .

The data server 2 stores the form data of one or more batches transferred from the reading terminal 1 (FIG. 9-93). If a batch to which the important attribute is added is detected and a batch to which the important attribute is added is detected, the batch to which the important attribute is added is automatically delivered to a predetermined correction terminal 3 with priority over other batches (FIG. 9-94).
For example, the correction work efficiency in each correction terminal 3 varies depending on the work conditions and the skill level of the operator.
The distribution of the batch to which the important attribute has been assigned is assigned to the correction terminal 3 having higher correction efficiency. Batches to which the important attribute has not been assigned are delivered after all batches to which the important attribute has been assigned are automatically delivered, for example, after correction processing of the batch to which the important attribute has been assigned is completed.

When the correction terminal 3 receives the batch distributed from the data server 2, it corrects the batch in a predetermined form data correction environment (FIG. 9-95). Data is output to a removable storage medium in a predetermined file format (FIG. 9-9).
6).

The batch distribution methods according to the two embodiments described above can be used in combination.

That is, while batches with important attributes are automatically distributed to the correction terminal 3, other batches are distributed to the correction terminal 3 together with status information and date information of each batch as a batch list. In response to the distribution request, the corresponding batch is distributed to the requesting correction terminal 3.

In this embodiment, two types of batches, one to which an important attribute is assigned and the other to which no important attribute is assigned, are automatically distributed to a correction terminal with priority given to a batch to which an important attribute is assigned. However, batches may be classified into a plurality of ranks according to their importance, and batches having an important attribute may be automatically delivered to the correction terminal in order of priority from the batch with the highest importance. For example, a batch having a larger number of rejected characters may be assigned a higher importance, or a difference in importance may be provided between an important attribute artificially added by the reading terminal operator and an important attribute added based on the number of rejected characters. You may.

[0065]

As described above, according to the present invention, a read result requested to be delivered to the server is selected from a list of read results narrowed down and displayed according to conditions such as a processing state and important attributes. Therefore, even when a large number of read results are waiting for correction, the operator of the correction terminal can easily find the target read result to be corrected. In addition, the correction result can be corrected in an optimum order without managing the correction order of the read result in the correction terminal.
