BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Embodiment 1. Hereinafter, Embodiment 1 of the present invention will be described. FIG. 1 is a schematic block diagram showing a data input management system according to the first embodiment. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 is a transmission side system unit for processing and transmitting image data of a form which is a target of data input work. Reference numeral 2 is a receiving side system unit for processing the form image data received from the transmitting side system unit 1. Reference numeral 3 is a data input system unit for the operator to input data based on the form image output by the receiving side system unit 2. Also, 4 is
It is an image data database for accumulating each form image data.

The internal structure and operation of the transmission side system unit 1 of FIG. 1 will be described. When a customer submits a form group including handwritten or printed characters as a target of data input work to a company specializing in data input, first, by scanning each form in the form group with the scanner 11, A form image data file including image data of each form for the group is created. For each form image data in this form image data file, the image processing unit 12 deletes a frame line (frame line portion unnecessary for data input) in each form image data. Further, the image processing unit 13 deletes unnecessary areas (areas unnecessary for data input, such as areas on which product characters and company symbol marks are printed) in each form image data (for example, fills in white). ).

The form image data file, in which a part of each form image data is deleted by the image processing units 12 and 13 to reduce the data amount, is transmitted to the numbering unit 14. Further, the numbering unit 14 is
Date and time information at the time when the scanner 11 captures the image of the form (more specifically, when the user interface of the scanner 11 is activated to capture the form image) is acquired. The numbering unit 14 also reads the transmitted form image data file. Then, the numbering unit 14 generates a predetermined identification number on the basis of "date and time information at the time when the scanner 11 captures the image of the form", and generates the predetermined identification number in each of the read form image data files. Record in a specified area in the footer of the page.

That is, in the standard of a known image data storage file such as “tif.”, The user is allowed to freely use a part of the header or footer portion of each page in the file. (The data written in this area is automatically read together with the image data of each page when each page is displayed on the display screen or printed on paper, and the header of each page is read. Or, it is added to the footer at a predetermined position). In the first embodiment, the numbering unit 14 automatically writes the identification number in the header or footer portion of each page where the user is allowed to freely use the identification number.

In the numbering unit 14, for example, the date and time when the scanner 11 captures the form image (when the user interface of the scanner 11 is activated to capture the form) is "November 06."
When the date is 16:07:36 ", the identification number" 1106160736 "is generated based on this date and time information. The numbering unit 14 may acquire the date and time information based on a clock function built in a computer that configures itself, or may be an external organization (such as the Communications Research Laboratory of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications). May be acquired based on Japanese Standard Time data transmitted by the Internet or radio waves.

Next, the form image data file including the information of the identification number is sent to the data compressing section 15, where each of the above-mentioned items is processed by a known data compressing method for enabling high speed transmission of image data. The form image data is compressed. This data-compressed form image data file (a file in which the information of the identification number is written in a predetermined area of the header or footer portion of each page) is further sent to the image data sending unit 16,
From here, it is transmitted to the receiving side system unit 2 via a public communication network (or a leased line network) such as the Internet.

The form image data file to which the identification number is given by the numbering unit 14 (written in a predetermined area of the header or footer portion of each page) is constructed by the file transfer unit 17 by an external recording device. Is transferred to the image database 4.
The image database 4 may be provided in a computer that constitutes the receiving side system unit 2 or the data input system unit 3, or may be provided separately from the receiving side system unit 2 or the data input system unit 3. May be provided in a computer provided in the place.

Next, the configuration and operation of the receiving side system section 2 will be described. The form image data file (including the information of the identification number) transmitted from the image data transmission unit 16 of the transmission side system unit 1 is received by the image data reception unit 21. The image data receiving unit 21 transmits the received form image data file and its identification number to the printing unit 22. The printing unit 22 prints out each page (including the information of the identification number) in the form image file on paper based on the data from the image data receiving unit 21. In this case, the image of the page printed out on the paper has the identification number added to a predetermined position of the footer.

FIG. 2 is a diagram for explaining the page image printed by the printing section 22 with the identification number added to a predetermined position of the footer. In FIG. 2, reference numeral 23 denotes a sheet of paper on which the page image (the image of a form in which handwritten characters or printed characters, which is an object of data input work by an operator, is displayed) is printed out. Further, 24 is an identification number ("11061" added to the position (footer portion) of the page image on the paper 23 at the lower right end in the figure.
60736 ").

The printed matter of each page image printed by the printing unit 22 is carried to the data input system unit 3. The operator uses the computer terminal 31 including an input device such as a keyboard and a mouse and a recording device such as a hard disk while observing the printed matter to perform data input work. At this time, since the input frame for inputting the identification number is displayed on the data input screen used by the operator, before the operator inputs data of handwritten or printed characters, first, the paper of FIG. An identification number 24 at the lower right end of 23 in the figure is input as text data in the input box. Then, the operator then inputs the handwritten character (or the printed character) in the page image as text data while looking at the paper 23. Therefore, the text data input by the computer terminal 31 of the data input system section 3 is always input by the input device while being associated with the identification number 24 added to the form image data file, and the computer terminal 31 It is adapted to be recorded on a hard disk or the like built in 31.

When the operator completes the data input operation for one form image data file, the text data input by the operator and the identification number 24 corresponding to the text data are stored in the text data transmission unit 32.
Is transmitted to the image database 4.

As described above, in the image database 4, each form image data in the form image data file, text data corresponding to handwritten characters (or printed characters) therein, and the form image data are stored. The identification number corresponding to the file (the identification number is entered as text data by the operator)
It is adapted to be accumulated in association with each other. Therefore, a user such as an operator searches for and extracts corresponding form image data and text data by using the image search unit (computer terminal having an image search function) 41 with the identification number as a key. The corresponding form image data and text data can be compared and collated using the identification number as a key.

As described above, in the first embodiment,
Regarding the form image data file including the form image data including a group of handwritten characters (or printed characters) captured by the scanner 11, the scanner 11
An identification number is automatically generated based on the date and time information at the time of importing the form, the identification number is automatically written in a predetermined area of the header or footer portion of each page of the file, and the form image in which the identification number is written is written. Since the data file is transmitted to the remote receiving side system unit 2 and the receiving side system unit 2 outputs each page image in which the identification number is added to the header or footer portion, the operator: Since the data can be input while checking the identification number, the data input of the form including each handwritten character (or the printed character) can be managed extremely easily and accurately.

Further, in the first embodiment, when the operator inputs text data corresponding to handwritten characters (or printed characters), the identification number of the header or footer portion of each output page image is output. Since it is performed after inputting (inputting as text data), the text data and the identification number corresponding to the handwritten or printed character portion can be input / recorded in association with each other. By using the identification number as a key, it is possible to easily collate the text data input by the above with the form image data.

In the above description of the first embodiment, a configuration in which an identification number is automatically generated and added in the transmission side system section 1 and the form image data file to which the identification number is added is transmitted to the reception side system section 2 and Although the operation has been described, in the first embodiment, in addition to this, a facsimile (or a computer terminal having a facsimile function) is used, and handwritten characters (or printed characters) are printed for each group as a target of data input work. Each image data of a plurality of forms including characters) is transmitted to the receiving side system unit 2 at a remote place, and the receiving side system unit 2 selects one form image data from the plurality of form image data in the group. Generate a file, and further, based on the date and time information when the user interface for reading the form by the facsimile is started. Another number is automatically generated, since the identification number can also be applied to the form image data file, the following, with reference to FIG. 1 will be described this operation and its required configuration.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 51 denotes a facsimile for transmitting a group of a plurality of forms as a target of data input work submitted by a customer as each image data. Further, reference numeral 25 denotes a fax receiving unit (comprised of a computer terminal having a fax function) provided in the receiving side system unit 2 for receiving a group of each image data from the facsimile 51.
The fax receiving unit collects the image data of a plurality of forms received from the fax 51 as one form image data file for each group (for each fax transmission).

The form image data file generated by the fax receiving section 25 is transmitted from the fax receiving section 25 to the numbering section 26. The date and time information at the time when the facsimile 51 activates the form reading user interface is also transmitted from the facsimile 51 to the numbering unit 26 via the fax receiving unit 25. The numbering unit 26 automatically generates an identification number of the form image data file based on the date and time information, and automatically generates this in a predetermined area of the header or footer portion of each page of the form image data file. Write (the configuration and operation of the numbering unit 26 are almost the same as the numbering unit 14 in the transmission side system unit 1, so detailed description will be omitted).

The numbering unit 26 transmits the form image data file to which the identification number is added to the printing unit 22 to output the image of each page in the file on paper. The identification number is printed on the image of each page, for example, at the lower right position (see reference numeral 24 in FIG. 2). The operation of the process after the image of each page is output on paper is the same as that described above, and thus the description thereof is omitted.

Further, in the first embodiment, even when the fax 51 is used, the form image data file to which the identification number is automatically generated and given is transmitted from the numbering unit 26 to the image database 4. Accumulated.

As described above, in the first embodiment, even when the facsimile 51 is used, the fax receiving unit 25 collects each form image into one form image data file, and the numbering unit 26 uses the form image data file. Since the identification number based on the date and time information is automatically generated and added to the form image data file, it is possible to manage the data input of the form including each handwritten or printed character very easily and accurately. become. Similarly, since the numbering unit 26 is configured to transmit the form image data file (including the identification number) to the image database 4, each form image data or handwritten or printed by using the identification number as a key. It is possible to easily search / extract text data of a character portion, compare or collate handwritten or printed character portion of each form image data with the text data.

In the first embodiment, the image of each page which forms the form image data file received by the image data receiving unit 21 is printed out on the paper by the printing unit 22 together with the identification number. However, the page image output means of the present invention is not limited to this, and may output and output the image of each page on the screen of the display.

However, in this case, the identification numbers assigned to the form image data files cannot be distinguished from each other. On the other hand, in the third embodiment, since the identification number unique to each computer that automatically generates the identification number is also added to automatically generate the identification number, a plurality of computers (numbering unit) are provided. Even if the same identification number happens to be automatically generated, the identification numbers given to the form image data file can be surely distinguished from each other.

Embodiment 4. Next, a fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described. The basic configuration and operation of the fourth embodiment are the same as those of the first embodiment, except for the following points. In the fourth embodiment, in order to output each page image of the form image data file, a display for outputting each page image of the form image data file on the screen is used instead of the printing unit 22. . In the fourth embodiment, a character recognition device (software having a character recognition function) is installed in the computer terminal connected to the display. Then, the character recognition device recognizes the identification number in the header or footer of each page image displayed on the display screen, and inputs it as text data. Then, when the data input and recording computer terminal 31 of the data input system unit 3 displays a data input screen for the operator to input data, the identification number of each page image is displayed on the display screen. A display frame for displaying is displayed, and the identification number recognized by the character recognition device is automatically displayed in the display frame (hence this embodiment 4).
Then, the operator does not need to manually input the identification number in the display frame on the data input screen). In the fourth embodiment, when the operator inputs text data, the computer terminal 31 records the text data in the hard disk or the like while associating the text data with the identification number displayed in the display frame.

As described above, in the fourth embodiment, the identification number is automatically recognized and input from the screen displaying each page image of the form image data file, and the data input screen is displayed. The text data input by the operator is recorded in association with the above-mentioned automatically recognized identification number. Therefore, according to the fourth embodiment, as in the first embodiment, the operator assigns an identification number in the input frame (corresponding to the display frame of the fourth embodiment) of the data input screen of the computer terminal 31. Since it is not necessary to manually input the data, the operator's data input work can be made much more efficient. In the fourth embodiment, the character automatic recognition device is
It is also possible to capture the identification number of the header or footer portion of the form image output on the paper from the printing unit 22 with a camera and automatically recognize the identification number from the captured data.
