  The form for implementing the data entry system concerning the present invention is explained below based on an example.

  FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an embodiment of the system configuration of the data entry system according to the present invention. The data entry system of this embodiment can use the description content written in a fixed form in a predetermined format for information processing. The center server 100 operated by a service providing organization that provides a data entry service to be converted into electronic data and each client A, B,... A client terminal 1a, 1b,..., Which is a computer terminal that can be used by employees of A, B, etc., and an Internet terminal that can be operated by an entry member registered in advance as a member who performs input work (entry) to a service provider. It is mainly composed of certain entry member terminals 2a, 2b ...

  Note that the center server 100 does not necessarily have to be installed in a service providing organization, and may be installed in a data center or the like that manages a large number of servers. For example, usage has increased rapidly in recent years. It may be a cloud server computer installed in a data service company that provides a cloud service.

  The center server 100 is connected to a management organization terminal 101, which is a computer terminal installed in a service providing organization, via, for example, a highly confidential private line or a virtual private network (VPN) line. It is possible to register and update a divided template, which will be described later, from the institutional terminal 101, and to sequentially grasp the status of the center server 100 such as the status of registration of divided images from each client and the distribution status of electronic data to each client. It can be done.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the center server 100 is connected to the client terminals 1a, 1b,... And the entry member terminals 2a, 2b, etc. via an Internet network that is an open computer network. Various data can be transmitted and received via the network.

  In the client terminals 1a, 1b,..., As shown in FIG. 1, image data input for inputting forms such as application forms used by individual clients to the client terminals 1a, 1b,. As long as the scanners 11a, 11b,... Which are means are connected and connected to the Internet network, the client terminals 1a, 1b,. An ordinary computer terminal having a communication interface for communicating with the Internet network and capable of operating a client application program to use the data entry service, which will be described later, can be used.

  The entry member terminals 2a, 2b,... Are Internet terminals used by an unspecified number of Internet users who use the Internet network, and are input devices such as keyboards that can input characters and numbers. Or a computer terminal that includes a display device such as a monitor and in which a known browser program for browsing various pages distributed from the center server 100 is installed.

  As shown in the client A of FIG. 1, the client terminals 1a, 1b,... Are not limited to one for each client. For example, when the client is a company having a large number of stores, A client terminal may be installed for each store, and in this case, the same divided template described later is commonly used in the plurality of client terminals.

  FIG. 2A is a diagram illustrating a configuration of a client database (DB) stored in the center server 100 of the present embodiment. In the client database (DB), a password for using the data entry service in association with a client ID uniquely assigned to each client so that each client can be individually identified, and the name of the client Along with attribute information such as address, telephone number, etc., information such as a divided template ID of a divided template registered in the center server 100 that can be used by the client and a usage amount of a data entry service for a predetermined period (for example, one month) Is remembered.

  FIG. 2B is a diagram showing a configuration of an entry member database (DB) in which information on entry members registered in advance is managed. In the entry member database (DB), a password, name (if it is a company), address, phone number for verifying the identity at the time of login in association with the entry member ID uniquely assigned to each entry member In addition to attribute information such as an e-mail address, etc., points acquired by data entry (input) and exchangeable for cash are stored. The entry member is not limited to an individual, but may be a small-scale company such as a SOHO business operator.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating a configuration of the divided template database stored in the center server 100 of the present embodiment. In the division template database, a version indicating the update status of the division template, the registration date of the division template, the last update date, and the path of the division template file in association with the division template ID uniquely assigned to each division template Data is stored.

  4 is a diagram showing a configuration of a divided image management database (DB) stored in the client terminals 1a, 1b,. In the divided image management database (client terminal side), the divided image corresponds to the divided image ID assigned to each divided image obtained by dividing the form image input from the scanners 11a, 11b,. The input category type code to be transmitted, the transmission image ID as the information specifying data of the present invention transmitted to the center server 100 together with the divided image, the transmission date, and the electronic data reception status data indicating whether or not electronic data has been received are stored. Yes.

  In this embodiment, as the divided image ID given to each divided image, the division source ID is obtained by adding the serial number of the form image scanned on that day on the date when the division source form image is input. Item number (hyphen) as item identification information given to each item of each divided area of the divided template in the form image ID (the preceding part of the hyphen) as the standard document identification information given to specify the form image. From the divided image ID, it is possible to identify the form image of the division source of each divided image and the corresponding item in the form image of the division source (see FIG. 5 (c)).

  The item “type code” stores data indicating whether the input category corresponding to the divided image corresponds to any category of katakana, hiragana, numerals, kanji, and options, as will be described later. As the type data, type data set in advance for each divided region of the divided template is stored.

  The item “transmission image ID” is randomly assigned to each divided image, so that the order in which the divided images are transmitted is shuffled, and the original form image is divided from the data. Is stored in such a manner that the transmission image ID is assigned to the other person (other company) other than the client so that the transmission image ID and the divided image ID are associated with each other. By storing the divided image ID from the transmission image ID by storing in the database (DB), which divided image is divided from the same form image, and which item of the same form image is divided It can be specified whether it is an image.

  In addition, the date of transmission of each divided image to the center server 100 is stored in the item “transmission date”, and the item “electronic data” includes the date when each divided image is transmitted to the center server 100. “Not received” is stored, and “Received” is stored when the electronic data input based on each divided image is received from the center server 100, so that each divided image has been transmitted. Whether the electronic data of each divided image has been received can be specified by the item data of “electronic data”.

  FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating a configuration of a divided image management database (DB) stored in the center server 100. In the divided image management database (center server side), the divided image type code (divided image management database (client terminal)) is associated with the transmission image ID transmitted from the client terminals 1a, 1b,. Side)), the received date when the divided image is received, the distribution date when the divided image is distributed to the entry member and the input is received, the input member who receives the divided image and receives the input, the divided An electronic data name is stored that includes a check member that checks whether the content of the image matches the input content, a check result of the check member, text data input by the input member, and the like. Although not shown in FIG. 9, the path data to the image file of the received divided image is also stored in the divided image management database (DB) in association with the transmission image ID.

  The item “transmission image ID” stores the transmission image ID received together with the divided images from the client terminals 1a, 1b,. In addition, the type code received together with the divided image is also stored in the “type” code. When the transmission image ID is stored, path data that can specify the location where the divided images received at the same time are stored is also stored.

  In addition, the date of receiving each divided image from the client terminals 1a, 1b,... Is stored in the item “Reception Date”, and each divided image is distributed to the entry member in the item “Delivery Date”. The date when the input is accepted (same as the date of distribution) is stored.

  In addition, in the item “input member”, the member ID of the entry member who received the input page to be described later including each divided image and input the electronic data corresponding to the divided image is stored.

  In addition, the “Check Member” item receives a check page containing both the divided images and the electronic data input by the entry member, and checks whether the input electronic data is correct. The member ID of each member is stored.

  Also, the check result item stores the result (OK or NG) of the member who received the check page distribution and checked, and the “electronic data name” item receives the input page distribution. The electronic data name of the electronic data corresponding to the divided image included in the input page input by the entry member (specifically, data to which the transmission image ID is assigned as the file name) is stored.

  Here, based on FIG. 7, a flow in which the division template is registered in the center server 100 will be described. First, the service provider obtains a sample of a form (for example, an application form) that actually receives the data entry service from the client after the data entry service provision contract is established with the client, and obtains a divided template of the obtained form. create.

  As these divided templates, a form used by a client (hereinafter, client A will be described as an example for the sake of brevity) is, for example, a name, a telephone number, and an e-mail as shown in FIG. In the case of a registration application form including personal information such as address and account number, as shown in FIG. 5 (a), fill in the entry fields for each item in categories set in advance such as katakana, kanji and numbers. Set the divided area so that only the characters are included. For example, even in the same category (number) area such as a telephone number, the entire telephone number as personal information is assigned to the same entry member. The division area is set so as not to be specified.

  In this way, the divided area is set as a divided template, and the image data of the form is divided using the divided template, so that the personal image information that is the protection information is converted into a plurality of pieces of divided image data that cannot be recognized. It will be divided.

  In each divided area included in the divided template, an item number and a type code for specifying each item are set, and the item number is used for the divided image ID and the type code is divided. It is stored as item data of “type code” in the image management database (client terminal side).

  Then, a unique division template ID is assigned to the created division template, and the division template is uploaded to the center server 100 and registered in the division template DB. The data format of the divided template may be a data format including coordinate data in the X-axis and Y-axis directions of each divided area, but matches the data format (data format) of the scanned image data. If it is a thing, the data of a suitable format can be used.

  As described above, after the division template is registered in the center server 100, the division template ID assigned to the division template is notified to the client A. The notification of the division template ID may be notified by a document, or may be notified by e-mail or the like.

  Upon receiving the notification, the client A stores the division template ID in the client terminal 1a in advance so that it can be selected in the client application program installed in the client terminal 1a.

  Since the client A is a client having a plurality of client terminals as shown in FIG. 1, the division template ID is assigned to the client terminals of all the clients A in which the client application program is installed. Remember.

  Further, when there is a change in a form in which these divided templates are already registered, as shown in FIG. 7, for example, the divided template ID and the image data of the changed form are transmitted to the operating organization terminal 101. To notify the service provider that the form has changed. It should be noted that these form change notifications may be sent to the service providing organization by documents or the like instead of being sent to the operating organization terminal 101. In this case, it is preferable to attach the form template after the change.

  The service providing organization that has received the change notification specifies the division template to be changed from the received division template ID, and corrects the specified division template based on the received form image data after the change. The divided template is updated and stored in the divided template database (DB). In this update, the center server 100 also updates the version data and the last update date data together with the divided template data file.

  As described above, in this embodiment, when there is a change in a registered form, only the division template stored in the center server 100 is updated, and the update is performed for all the clients of the client. Since it can be used on the terminal, the division template can be changed and corrected quickly and reliably compared to the case where the division template is stored in all the client terminals of the client. When image segmentation is performed using a segmentation template that does not reflect any changes or corrections, personal information that should have been segmented indefinitely is segmented in an identifiable manner, and personal information is entered. It is preferable because it will surely prevent the occurrence of a situation that is recognized by members, Invention is not limited thereto, it may be allowed to individually store these divided templates into individual client terminals.

  Next, a flow in which the image data of the form scanned by the scanner 11a is divided using the division template registered in the center server 100 in this way will be described with reference to FIG. First, a client application program (hereinafter abbreviated as a client application) is activated on the client terminal 1a, and a client ID and a password are input.

  The inputted client ID and password are transmitted to the center server 100 by the client application and collated with data stored in the client database (DB).

  The center server 100 determines whether or not the received client ID and password match the client ID and password stored in the client database (DB), and returns the determination result.

  The client application permits login on condition that the returned determination result is verification OK, displays a selection screen for accepting selection of a division template to be used, and accepts selection of the division template. In the selection screen, all the divided template IDs stored in advance are displayed so as to be selectable. When the returned determination result is verification NG, the process of accepting the input of the client ID and password is repeatedly executed without proceeding to the subsequent process.

  In addition, it is preferable that the information on the division template ID to be used is printed on the form so that the operator can surely select the division template ID to be used for the form. When there is only one divided template ID, selection acceptance on the selection screen may be omitted, and one stored divided template may be uniquely selected.

  When the selection of the division template to be used is accepted, the division template ID of the accepted division template is transmitted to the center server 100 to obtain the division template data.

  In response to receiving the division template ID from the client terminal 1a, the center server 100 identifies a data file of the division template stored in the division template database (DB) corresponding to the received division template ID. Then, the specified data file is read out and returned to the transmission source client terminal 1a.

  The client terminal 1a that has received the divided template data file temporarily stores the received divided template data file. The temporarily stored data file is deleted when the client application ends.

  Then, in response to the acceptance of the operator's image capture operation, after performing an image capture process for capturing a form image (image) from the scanner 11a, the captured form image is temporarily stored as shown in FIG. An image dividing process for dividing using a template is executed.

  In the image division processing, the range of each divided area is specified based on the alignment guide marker (GM) displayed in the form image, and the form image is divided into images of the specified range (FIG. 5).

  Then, as described above, each divided image is assigned a divided image ID including a form image ID and an item number for specifying the original form image (image) of the division, and is associated with the assigned divided image ID. Then, it is stored in the divided image management database (client terminal side) together with the type code set in each divided area.

  Then, either an image capturing operation for capturing a form image or an image transmission operation for transmitting a divided image that has already been captured and received is received from the operator.

  When the image capture operation is accepted again, the process corresponding to the acceptance of the image capture operation described above is re-executed, so that the form image (image) of the next form is captured and divided, and the divided image management database ( It is stored on the client terminal side.

  On the other hand, when an image transmission operation is accepted, the number of untransmitted divided images stored without storing the transmission image ID in the divided image management database (client terminal side) is a predetermined number (for example, five forms). It is determined whether or not the number of divided images is equal to or greater than a predetermined number. If the number is equal to or greater than the predetermined number, a transmission image ID is randomly assigned to each divided image as illustrated in FIG. The assigned transmission image ID is stored in the divided image management database (client terminal side).

  As described above, when a predetermined number or more of untransmitted divided images are stored in the divided image management database (client terminal side), a transmission image ID is randomly assigned to each of the stored divided images. As shown in FIG. 6B, the divided images divided from the other form images (images) are interrupted and transmitted between the divided images divided from the same form image (image). Therefore, when divided images are transmitted together in the same form image (image), even if the data of these divided images are obtained illegally on the transmission path, personal information is specified. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and it is determined whether or not there are sufficient divided images of a predetermined number or more. Ku, may be to transmit the divided images to the center server 100.

  In this embodiment, when an image transmission operation is accepted, it is determined whether or not there are a predetermined number or more of unsent divided images. However, the present invention is not limited to this. In a stage where there are no more than a predetermined number of untransmitted divided images, the operation unit that accepts the image transmission operation is disabled (inactive state) to disable the image transmission operation, and a predetermined number or more of untransmitted images are not received. When the divided image exists, the operation unit that accepts the image transmission operation is enabled (active state) so that the image transmission operation can be accepted so that useless image transmission operation is not accepted. Anyway.

  In addition, alphabet combinations are used for the last three digits of the transmission image ID of the present embodiment, and these combinations are higher-order alphabets (aaa, aab, aac, aad,..., As shown in FIG. 6B). ) Are rearranged in this order, and shuffled, and the split image is transmitted to the center server 100 together with the type code and the transmission image ID (see FIG. 6B).

  In this embodiment, a combination of alphabets is used. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and numbers, symbols, or the like that can specify the order may be used.

  The divided images thus shuffled and transmitted are stored in the divided image management database (center server side) in the order of reception in association with the transmission image ID and the type code transmitted together with the divided images ( (See FIG. 9).

  Therefore, since the divided images continuously stored in the divided image management database (center server side) include images divided from different form images (images), personal information is specified from these images. This makes it very difficult, and it becomes difficult for the service provider that operates the center server 100 to acquire personal information, and if the center server 100 is illegally intruded and the divided images are obtained illegally. However, since it is possible to reduce the possibility that personal information as protection information will be leaked, it is possible to prevent personal information from leaking.

  Next, a flow in which electronic data corresponding to a divided image stored in the divided image management database (center server side) is input as described above will be described with reference to FIGS.

  Entry members who have registered as members to perform input work enter their member ID and password on the login page that is distributed by accessing the site of the center server 100 during idle time when input work can be performed. Log in to the site.

  The center server 100 collates the member ID and password input on the login page with data stored in the entry member database (DB), and generates a member page for the member when the collation result is OK. And deliver.

  On this member page, you can check information such as the name of the entry member, information about the entry points that you currently own, and the latest news, such as when the number of entry operations such as client requests will increase. In addition, when performing entry (input work), a selection window (see FIG. 11) for selecting an input category to be input is provided.

  Entry members are not specialists who perform entry (input work), so some members are not good at entering kanji, while others are good at entering kanji, etc. There are members who are not good at input such as hiragana even if they are good at it, and each member is good at the input target, so the entry member can select, for example, an input category that he is good at. In addition, in order to carry out input training, it is also possible to dare to select an input category that you are not good at.

  If the selected input category is, for example, the category “Katakana”, the center server 100 determines the divided image of the undelivered transmission image ID stored in the divided image management database (center server side), specifically Specifically, one of the divided images of the transmission image ID for which the delivery date is not stored is extracted with a code number (for example, “01”) corresponding to the type code “Katakana”, and the extracted image is extracted. The input page shown in FIG. 11 including the divided images is generated and distributed.

  When the distribution is performed, the date of the day is stored in the item “distribution date”, and the member ID of the entry member who distributes the input page is stored in the item “input member”.

  As shown in FIG. 11, the input page of the present embodiment includes an input work area 202 and a selection window 201 that can be used to change the input category and can select the same input category as the member page. It is.

  In the input work area 202, the extracted divided image is displayed at an upper position as an input target image, and a text input unit for performing text input is provided at a lower position of the input target image. The entry member inputs the katakana included in the divided image as text into the text input unit while viewing the divided image displayed at the upper position.

  When the input is completed, an input completion operation (for example, an enter key input operation) is executed, whereby the text data (electronic data) input to the text input unit and the transmission image ID of the divided image are centered. The data name is transmitted to the server 100, the data name of the text data (electronic data) is given the data name by the transmission image ID and stored in a predetermined storage area, and the data name is transmitted as the transmission image of the divided image. The electronic data name corresponding to the ID is stored in the divided image management database (center server side) in association with the transmission image ID of the divided image.

  The text data (electronic data) is not transmitted to the center server 100 for each input page, but the input text data (electronic data) when the entry of a predetermined number (for example, 10) of input pages is completed. Data) may be transmitted to the center server 100 to reduce the reception load of the center server 100.

  Then, the center server 100 again, among the divided images of the undelivered transmission image ID stored in the divided image management database (center server side), the code number (for example, “ 01 ”) is extracted, and an input page including the extracted divided image is newly generated and distributed to the entry member, thereby receiving the input of katakana text data included in the divided image. And stored in the divided image management database (center server side).

  Thus, by repeatedly inputting and delivering the input page, the undistributed divided images stored in the divided image management database (center server side) are sequentially converted into electronic data.

  If the type data corresponding to the divided image is a code number corresponding to an option, an input page including an option input part for inputting an option may be delivered instead of the text input part. Electronic data indicating whether or not the option is selected is input. That is, the input data is not limited to text data or numeric data.

  In this way, the divided image for which the electronic data has been accepted is generated as a check page including the electronic data and the divided image (same as the input page on which the text has been input) and the input member who has performed the input. Is delivered to different members and accepts the decision as to whether or not the input is correct.

  According to the distribution of these check pages, the member ID of the member who distributed the check page is stored in the “check member” item, and the added check result is stored in the “check result” item. Entry points are also given to members who have performed these checks.

  If the check result accepted by the delivery of the check page is NG, the divided image is delivered again on the input page, the electronic data is accepted, and the electronic data and the divided image are included. A check page is distributed, and the input electronic data is checked.

  Then, when the expiration date of the data entry service, for example, one week has passed after transmission, the client application of the client terminal 1a determines the expiration date based on the transmission date stored in the divided image management database (client terminal side). The divided image that has passed is identified, and an electronic data request including the transmission image ID of the identified divided image is transmitted to the center server 100.

  In the present embodiment, since the client terminal 1a is not always activated, an example in which an electronic data request is transmitted from the client terminal 1a to the center server 100 is illustrated. For example, the divided images transmitted from each client are stored in association with the client ID of the transmission source client, and the check result is OK, and then the transmission source Electronic data may be transmitted to the client terminal 1a.

  In response to the reception of the electronic data request, the center server 100 associates the transmission data ID included in the received electronic data request with the electronic data having the electronic data name stored in the divided image management database (center server side). Is returned to the client terminal 1a that is the transmission source of the electronic data request in a manner associated with the transmission image ID, and the usage fee corresponding to the number of transmitted electronic data is set as the usage amount of the client. to add.

  At this time, by storing the transmission image ID and the transmission date when the electronic data is transmitted as a processing completion ID, the electronic data is transmitted to the client in the divided image management database (center server side) and the processing is completed. The divided image can be specified. In addition, the registration data of the transmission image ID whose predetermined period has elapsed from the transmission date is deleted from the divided image management database (center server side).

  In the divided image management database (client terminal side), the client terminal 1a updates the electronic data reception status data corresponding to the received transmission image ID to “Received”, and also divides the data in association with the received transmission image ID. From the divided image ID stored in the image management database (client terminal side), the form image (image) of the division source of the divided image corresponding to each electronic data, and the corresponding items in the form image (image) of the division source The electronic data of each item is integrated for each specified form image (image), and electronic data corresponding to each form image (image) is generated and stored.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the image data of the form, which is a standard document, is divided at the client terminal 1a, which is a client computer, and then transmitted to the center server 100, which is a server computer, and stored. It is difficult for the service provider that operates the personal information as the protection information to be obtained, and even if the center server 100 is illegally intruded, the personal information as the protection information is illegally acquired and the personal information is Since it is possible to reduce the possibility of leakage, it is possible to prevent leakage of personal information that is protection information.

  In addition, according to the present embodiment, since the division template data is stored only in the center server 100 that is a server computer, since the division template data can be managed centrally in the center server 100, for example, In a case where there are a plurality of client terminals that are client computers, the division template data can be changed and corrected quickly and reliably compared to the case where the division template data is stored in each client terminal. Can do.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, shuffled divided images (image data) are transmitted, so that even if the divided images (image data) are illegally acquired on the communication path, the protection information leaks. Since the divided images (image data) are stored in the order of the shuffled arrangement in the center server 100, the personal information that is the protection information is not easily obtained or leaked, so that the protection information is leaked. This can be further prevented.

  In addition, according to the present embodiment, since the entry member who performs the input work is an unspecified number of Internet users using the Internet terminal, these Internet users can be used as input operators. Cost can be reduced.

  Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described with reference to the drawings, the specific configuration is not limited to these embodiments, and modifications and additions within the scope of the present invention are included in the present invention. It is.

  For example, in the above-described embodiment, an example in which an input operation is performed with an unspecified number of Internet users using an Internet terminal as entry members, but the present invention is not limited to this. Alternatively, only a specific input contractor who has signed a contract with a service provider in advance may perform the input operation.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, a division template data storage unit that stores division templates is provided in the center server 100, and when a form image (image) is divided, division template data is acquired from the center server 100 ( However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the division template data storage means may be provided in each of the client terminals 1a, 1b,. .

  In the embodiment, as the information specifying data, the divided image ID composed of the form image ID serving as the standard document specifying information and the item number serving as the item specifying information is concealed, and the transmission order is effectively shuffled. As an object, the form using the transmission image ID different from the divided image ID is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this. The information specifying data includes the divided image ID itself, the divided image ID, and the like. It may be transmitted as identifiable information.

  In the above-described embodiment, an example in which the divided images are shuffled and transmitted to the center server 100 is illustrated. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the center server 100 does not shuffle these divided images. The center server 100 may randomly distribute each divided image to the entry member.

  In the above-described embodiment, the entry member performs the check work. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the check work may be performed by an employee of the service providing organization within the service providing organization. Etc. may be implemented only by the above.

  In the above embodiment, the registration application form is described as an example of the form. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and any document can be used as long as it is a fixed form document having a fixed form. The present invention can also be applied.

  In addition, although not implemented in the above embodiment, for example, important data items such as account numbers that cause a serious problem if there is an error in input, have a higher input accuracy level than usual. When these settings are possible, a check page including a split image of account numbers and electronic data is distributed to a plurality of members, and a plurality of members determine that the check is OK, and the input electronic You may make it transmit data to a client as data without an error. In this case, the number of times the check page is distributed may be increased according to the set level.

  Further, although not implemented in the above embodiment, in order to improve the accuracy of electronic data, an input page including the same divided image is distributed to a plurality of entry members, and each electronic member input by each entry member is distributed. When the contents of the data match, it is determined that the electronic data is correct, and when it does not match, it is determined that the electronic data is incorrect. Only electronic data that has a high possibility of being inputted may be distributed as a check page and checked.

  In addition, although not implemented in the above-described embodiment, division obtained by printing a two-dimensional information recording symbol including a division template ID used for image division on a form and decoding these two-dimensional information recording symbols. It is determined whether or not the template ID matches the division template ID of the division template used for image division, and image division is executed on condition that they match. By not performing, the division using the inappropriate division template that does not correspond to the form is performed, so that the divided images including the personal information are transmitted from the client terminals 1a, 1b,. It may be possible to prevent this.

  In addition, although not implemented in the above embodiment, the size of entry points given to entry members is small in, for example, the category of numbers that do not require conversion, and large in the category of kanji that requires conversion, etc. For example, it may be changed according to the category.

  In the above embodiment, the entry member selects only one category, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, as a category, numbers and hiragana that do not need to be converted are used. A plurality of categories may be selected, such as selecting a category.
