Stored. Instruction information for individually processing other slip data is also stored.

Now, the processing flow of this embodiment will be described. It should be noted that the configuration form that can be adopted in the following processing flow may be either of FIGS. 2A and 2B, and is not particularly limited in the present embodiment.
FIG. 7 shows a process flow for slip identification in the slip management apparatus according to this embodiment. First, at a restaurant or the like, the waiter or waitress goes to a table with unordered customers and takes an order from the customers. At this time, the order contents are written in the order slip. The waiter or waitress who took the order takes the order slip to the place where the slip stand is installed, and places the order slip on the slip stand 3 (see FIG. 1).

  When the order slip is placed on the slip stand 3, the front side of the order slip is photographed by the camera 2 installed above the slip stand 3 and read into the computer 1 as image data (step S1, hereinafter steps). Abbreviated as S). The read image data D1 is temporarily stored in the work area 33.

  Next, as described later, the previous image data D2 stored in the data storage area 38 is read by the CPU 30, and the previous image data D2 and the image data D1 acquired in S1 are compared (S2). At the time of comparison, the slip table portion and the background portion are removed from the image data D1, and only the slip image data is made to rotate until it has the same orientation as the image data D2, and compared with the image data D2.

As a comparison method, a conventionally used method is used. For example, the difference between the image data D1 and the image data D2 is taken, and whether or not the two images are the same can be determined based on whether or not the difference is within a predetermined range.
As a result of the comparison process, it is determined whether there is a difference between the two images D1 and D2 (S3). If the two images D1 and D2 are the same or different within a predetermined range, they are not newly placed slips, so the process proceeds to “N” in S3 and returns to the process in S1. If there is a difference between the two images, it means that a new slip has been placed, so the process proceeds to the “Y” direction in S3 and then proceeds to S4.

  Next, the image data D1 is stored as the previous image data D2 (S4). Next, the image data D1 is read again with increased accuracy (resolution) (S5), and a slip type 51 that matches the slip form of the image data D1 is selected from the slip recognition information management table 50 (S6). This S6 will be described later.

  When a slip type 51 that matches the slip form of the image data D1 exists in the slip recognition information management table 50 (S7), a plurality of description information 53 and a description area 54 included in the selected slip type 51 are stored as slip recognition information. Obtained from the management table 50 (S8). For example, when the slip type that matches the image data E1 (which is the image data of only the slip from which the empty portion is removed from the image data D1 as will be described later) is the order slip 56, “product name: (10, 14)-(55, 32) "," Number: (12, 27)-(57, 45) ", and" Table No .: (60, 50)-(65, 52) "include the description information 53 and It is obtained from the description area 54.

  Next, slip information corresponding to each description information is acquired from each description area 54 in the image data (S9). For example, based on the “product name: (10, 14)-(55, 32)” acquired in S8, the character information in the area of coordinates (10, 14)-(55, 32) on the image data E1 is converted to the product name. Obtain as information.

  Specifically, character information (image data) in this area is converted into text data using a general method such as pattern recognition, and the text data is acquired as product name information. Similarly, for other description information 53 and description area 54, character information (image data) described on a slip corresponding to each description information is acquired as text data. Hereinafter, this text data is referred to as description content information. Information acquired in this way (slip type, description information, description content information) is defined as slip information.

Next, the acquired slip information is transmitted to the slip corresponding processing unit 10 (S10). When the transmission is completed, the process returns to S1 again.
In S7, if a slip type that matches the slip form of the image data D1 does not exist in the slip recognition information management table 50, an error notification is made that the slip cannot be handled by this system (S11). The notification destination may be the display device 34 of the computer 1 or the display device 34 of the server 20. The person in charge who sees this notification will deal with this error. For example, a slip that cannot be handled is removed from the slip table. After the handling of the error by the person in charge is completed, when the error handling completion is instructed to the computer 1, the system returns to S1.

Note that this flow is a program stored in the program storage area 37, which is read by the CPU 30 to the program execution area 32 and executes the above processing.
FIG. 8 shows the slip recognition detailed processing in the present embodiment. This figure is a detailed flow of S6 of FIG. First, masking of empty portions of the read image data is performed (S20). Specifically, the image data A1 of the vacant data 55 is acquired from the slip recognition information management table 50. Using the image data A1, for example, when the pixel values of the same coordinates of the two images D1 and A1 are the same, the pixel value is changed from D1 to 0, etc. If is removed, image E1 data of only the slip is obtained.

  Next, a plurality of image data (A2, A3, A4,..., Hereinafter referred to as An) registered in the slip recognition information management table 50 is compared with the slip-only image data E1, and the image data E1 is compared. Image data with a high degree of coincidence is searched from the slip recognition information management table 50 (S21). For example, a value obtained by subtracting the image data E1 from the image data A2 and having a numerical value smaller than a predetermined threshold value is determined as the image data An having a high degree of coincidence with the image data E1, or two images A2 and E1. The image data An having the highest number of matching feature points may be determined as the image data An having a high degree of matching with the image data E1.

If there is a match as a result of the comparison in S21 (S22), it is determined that the matched image data An is the slip type having the highest matching degree with the image data E1 (S26), and this flow ends.
If there is no match as a result of the comparison in S21 (S22), the position and angle of the image data E1 are shifted by a predetermined amount K1 (S23). When the shift amount K1 is smaller than the threshold value K2 (S24), the process returns to S21, and the processes of S21, S22, S23, and S24 are repeated.

When the shift amount K1 becomes equal to the threshold value K2 (S24), it is determined that there is no table that matches the image E1 in the slip recognition information management table 50 (S25), and this flow ends.
FIG. 9 shows a process flow of the slip handling process in this embodiment. In the figure, when the slip correspondence processing unit 10 receives the slip information (slip information transmitted in S10 in FIG. 7) (S30), the slip processing content corresponding to the received slip type is read from the slip correspondence processing management table 60. Obtain (S31). For example, when the slip type of the received slip information is an order slip, the order slip 64 is searched from the slip correspondence processing management table 60, and the corresponding slip processing information “order announcement to kitchen, decrement of food stock, slip storage” To get.

  Next, processing is executed according to the acquired slip processing content and the received slip information (S32). Looking at the above example, since the slip processing “announcement of order to kitchen, decrement of food stock, storage of slip” has been acquired, first, slip processing “announcement of order to kitchen” is performed. This is to notify the kitchen of the description information and the description content information in the slip information. For example, in the case of the description information “hamburg” and the description content information “5”, the information of the description information “hamburg” and the description content information “5” is notified through the display or speaker installed in the kitchen. The recognized kitchen cook makes five hamburgers.

  Also, in this case, the slip processing “decrement of food stock” obtains information on the maximum number of hamburgers from the storage device, and since five hamburgers were consumed this time, 5 is subtracted from the number of hamburger stocks. . Then, the subtracted value is stored in the storage device as a new inventory quantity.

The slip process “save document” is to execute a process of storing the slip information in the storage device. The stored slip information is used for calculating the daily sales amount and the shipment amount for each product.
In the above description, the business process corresponding to the slip type can be executed. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the computer itself can be operated according to the memo written on the normal memo paper. In this case, it is necessary to previously store processing corresponding to the contents of the memo in the storage device. This is the “instruction memo to PC” shown in FIGS.

Note that this flow is a program stored in the program storage area 37, which is read by the CPU 30 to the program execution area 32 and executes the above processing.
As described above, since the appropriate slip processing is executed from one operation of placing a slip, the operation can be simplified. Further, by comparing the rotated images, the slip can be recognized normally even if the slip placement angle changes. In addition to slip processing, operations from business management to the computer itself can be operated using memos. In addition, since the voucher bundle that has been inserted and stacked on the voucher has already been sorted and converted into data for each voucher type, post-processing only needs to transfer the voucher bundle to a storage file.

(Embodiment 2)
In the first embodiment, the camera 2 and the computer 1 are integrated, but they may be separated. In the first embodiment, a restaurant is given as a specific example. However, as long as a slip is handled, it can be applied to any type of business. In the first embodiment, the image data E1 is rotated and compared with the form image data An. However, a specific color, a watermark character, or the like may be used on the slip sheet to shorten the comparison time.

Also, for specific tasks such as adding hands and chopsticks, instead of writing once in a memo, prepare a plate with “manual” written on it and place it on the billboard. You may be made to do.
(Embodiment 3)
In the present embodiment, a slip management apparatus that is a modification of the first embodiment and that considers the case where an error notification is output will be described. In the first embodiment, even if an error occurs in the process for a certain slip and the process of the slip management apparatus is interrupted, the slip can be placed on the slip table. Therefore, the process when the slip management apparatus recovers and starts processing Because the target slip and the slip stacked on the top row on the slip table are different, synchronization was not achieved. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the slip and the processing thereof are associated with each other at 1: 1.

  FIG. 10 shows a slip management apparatus according to this embodiment. Unlike the first embodiment, a stopper 70 is attached to the slip management apparatus 1 of the present embodiment. The stopper 70 can be stored inside the slip management apparatus 1 (FIG. 10A), and is operated so as to protrude out of the slip management apparatus 1 and cover the tip of the needle 4 by operating the power unit 71. (FIG. 10B). The slip cannot be passed through the needle 4 whose tip is covered by the stopper 70.

  FIG. 11 shows a processing flow for slip identification in the slip management apparatus according to this embodiment. This flow corresponds to the flow of FIG. 7 of the first embodiment. Assume that the initial state of the slip management apparatus is as shown in FIG. First, it is determined whether or not a new slip has been set on the slip table 3 (S40). Here, the same processing as S1, S2, and S3 of FIG. 7 is performed. In FIG. 7, this determination is performed using image processing in S1, S2, and S3. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a pressure sensor is installed on the top surface of the slip table, and the slip is placed. You may detect with the pressure sensor.

  Next, when it is detected that a new slip is set on the slip table 3, the stopper 70 is set, and the state shown in FIG. Next, the image data D1 is stored as the previous image data D2 (S42 (processing corresponding to S4 in FIG. 7)). Next, the accuracy (resolution) is increased, and the image data D1 is read again (S43 (processing corresponding to S5 in FIG. 7)), and the slip type 51 that matches the slip form of the image data D1 is set in the slip recognition information management table 50. (S44 (process corresponding to S6 in FIG. 7)).

  When a slip type 51 that matches the slip form of the image data D1 exists in the slip recognition information management table 50 (S45 (processing corresponding to S7 in FIG. 7)), a plurality of descriptions included in the selected slip type 51 Information 53 and description area 54 are acquired from slip recognition information management table 50 (S46 (process corresponding to S8 in FIG. 7)).

  Next, slip information corresponding to each description information is acquired from each description area 54 in the image data (S47 (processing corresponding to S9 in FIG. 7)). Next, the acquired slip information is transmitted to the slip corresponding processing unit 10 (S48 (processing corresponding to S10 in FIG. 7)). When the transmission is completed, the stopper 70 is released and the stopper is returned to the state shown in FIG.

  In S45, if a slip type that matches the slip form of the image data D1 does not exist in the slip recognition information management table 50, an error is notified that the slip cannot be handled by this system (S49 (S11 in FIG. 7). Corresponding processing)). The notification destination may be the display device 34 of the computer 1 or the display device 34 of the server 20. The person in charge who sees this notification will deal with this error.

For example, a slip that cannot be handled is removed from the slip table. When the handling of the error ends, the person in charge instructs the stopper release instruction using the input device 35 of FIG. 3, the stopper 70 is released, and the stopper 70 returns to the state of FIG. 10 (a).
When the stopper 70 is released, the process returns to S40, and the slip management apparatus 1 can accept the next slip.

From the above, since the next slip is not accepted until the processing for one slip is completed, even if an error occurs in the middle, it can be easily identified in which slip the error has occurred. There is no complication.
