In the following description, an example of the official name candidate output of the candidate output device 100 will be described by taking the official name of the financial institution as an example.

  Candidate output device 100 acquires character data, for example. Here, the character data is data for specifying a transfer destination financial institution. The character data is, for example, data obtained by character recognition by OCR of a name for identifying a transfer destination financial institution entered by a customer in a transfer destination entry field of a transfer processing slip. In the following description, a name for specifying a transfer destination financial institution may be referred to as a “transfer destination name”.

  The transfer name is, for example, the official name of the financial institution, the abbreviation of the financial institution in which the customer has omitted the official name of the financial institution, or the financial institution in which the customer has incorrectly entered the official name of the financial institution It may be a misnomer.

  However, an abbreviation or misnomer of a financial institution may coincide with an official name of another financial institution or an abbreviation of another financial institution. For this reason, the official name of the financial institution corresponding to the transfer destination name entered by the customer may be different from the official name of the financial institution that the customer tried to transfer. In addition, the abbreviations and misnomers of financial institutions entered by customers may be names that the candidate output device 100 does not store as abbreviations for financial institutions.

Next, an example of specifying a conversion rule from the transfer destination name entered in the slip 700 shown in FIG. 7 will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 8 is an explanatory diagram illustrating an example of specifying a conversion rule. (11) In FIG. 8, the candidate output device 100 acquires the character data indicating the transfer destination name “Osaka XX Noshin” from the slip 700. (12) The candidate output device 100 determines whether or not the leading portion of the transfer destination name “Osaka XX Nobunkin” is the place name set in the place name item of the suffix table 400.

  Here, if the candidate output device 100 determines that the head portion is not a place name, it determines that there is no conversion rule. On the other hand, if the candidate output device 100 determines that the leading part is a place name, the character next to the place name in the leading part of the transfer destination name “Osaka XX Shinkin” is associated with the place name in the suffix table 400. It is determined whether or not the suffix is set in the suffix item.

  (13) Since the candidate output device 100 determines that the first part is the place name “Osaka”, the next character of the place name “Osaka” of the transfer destination name “Osaka XX Nobunkin” is associated with the place name “Osaka”. It is determined whether or not the suffix is set in the suffix item of the suffix table 400.

  Here, if the candidate output device 100 determines that the character next to the place name is a suffix, the candidate output device 100 specifies a conversion rule for converting the transfer destination name by deleting the next character after the place name. Further, when the candidate output device 100 determines that the next character of the place name is a suffix, the candidate output device 100 converts the transfer destination name by replacing the next character of the place name with another suffix. Identify. On the other hand, if the candidate output device 100 determines that the character next to the place name is not a suffix, the candidate output device 100 specifies a conversion rule for converting the transfer destination name by inserting the suffix after the place name.

  (14) Since the candidate output device 100 determines that the next character of the place name “Osaka” is not a suffix, it inserts the suffix “fu” or “city” after the place name “Osaka”. A conversion rule for converting the name “Osaka XX Shinkin” is specified.

<An example of transfer name conversion>
Next, an example of transfer destination name conversion using the conversion rule specified in FIG. 8 will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 9 is an explanatory diagram illustrating an example of conversion of a transfer destination name. (15) In FIG. 9, the candidate output device 100 determines the transfer destination name “Osaka XX Shinkin” as it is as the character string to be searched.

  (16) The candidate output device 100 inserts the suffix “Fu” after the place name “Osaka”, and converts the transfer destination name “Osaka XX Nobunin” into the character string “ It is converted to “Osaka Prefecture XX Shinkin”, and the character string to be searched is determined.

  (17) The candidate output apparatus 100 inserts the suffix “city” after the place name “Osaka”, and converts the transfer destination name “Osaka XX Nobunin” into the character string “ It is converted to “Osaka City XX Shinkin” and determined as a character string to be searched.

<Example of official name candidate output>
Next, an example of a formal name candidate output using the search target character string determined in FIG. 9 will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 10 is an explanatory diagram of an example of a candidate name candidate output. (18) In FIG. 10, the candidate output device 100 searches the abbreviation table 300 for records in which the search target character string “Osaka XX Shinkin” is set in the abbreviation item. Since the candidate output device 100 has been searched, it extracts the official name “Osaka XX Shinkin” of the financial institution set in the official name field of the searched record.

  (19) The candidate output device 100 searches the abbreviation table 300 for records in which the search target character string “Osaka Prefecture XX Shinkin” is set in the abbreviation item. Since the candidate output device 100 was able to search, it extracts the official name “Osaka Prefecture XX Shinkin” of the financial institution set in the official name field of the searched record.

  (20) The candidate output device 100 searches the abbreviation table 300 for a record in which the search target character string “Osaka City XX Shinkin” is set in the abbreviation item. Since the candidate output device 100 was able to search, it extracts the official name “Osaka City XX Shinkin” of the financial institution set in the official name field of the searched record.

  (21) The candidate output device 100 displays the official name of the financial institution extracted based on each of the search target character strings on the display in association with each of the search target character strings, which is an abbreviation of the financial institution. . Then, the candidate output device 100 accepts the selection of one of the financial institutions in which candidates for the official name are displayed, determines the selected financial institution as the transfer destination, and determines the financial institution code of the selected financial institution. Set up and perform contact operations.

  Thereby, the candidate output device 100 notifies the candidate of the official name of the financial institution that can be the official name of the financial institution of the transfer destination to the operator of the financial institution serving as the user of the candidate output device 100. Thus, the official name of the financial institution to which payment is to be made can be selected. For this reason, the user of the candidate output device 100 grasps that the customer may have entered the official name of the transfer destination financial institution in error, and also specifies the official name of the transfer destination financial institution. Can be reduced.

  More specifically, the candidate output device 100 outputs candidate names “Osaka XX Shinkin Bank”, “Osaka Prefecture XX Shinkin Bank”, and “Osaka City XX Shinkin Bank” as candidates for the official name of the financial institution to which the transfer is made. The user of the device 100 can be notified. Therefore, the user of the candidate output device 100 is not limited to the financial institution whose official name is “Osaka XX Shinkin” corresponding to the abbreviation “Osaka XX Shinkin”. , You can figure out that there are multiple.

  In other words, the user of the candidate output device 100 can grasp that the customer may have mistakenly entered “Osaka XX Shinkin” as the transfer destination name and entered “Osaka XX Shinkin”. . Then, the user of the candidate output device 100 does not have to manually search for a candidate for financial institution to which the customer tried to transfer by referring to a candidate for the official name of the destination financial institution. The amount can be reduced.

  As a result, the user of the candidate output device 100 can prevent the transfer destination financial institution from being mistakenly transferred, and can improve the accuracy and safety of the counter service of the financial institution.

<Another specific example of a conversion rule>
Next, another specific example of the conversion rule from the transfer destination name will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 11 is an explanatory diagram illustrating another specific example of the conversion rule. Here, in the slip 700, using the transfer destination entry field of the slip 700, the character string “Osaka Prefecture XX” indicating the transfer destination financial institution, the type of the transfer destination financial institution “Shinkin”, the transfer destination financial institution. Suppose that “Tokyo” is filled in. In other words, “Osaka Prefecture XX Shinkin” is entered in the slip 700 as the transfer destination name.

  (31) In FIG. 11, the candidate output device 100 acquires the character data indicating the transfer destination name “Osaka Prefecture XX Noshin” from the slip 700. (32) The candidate output device 100 determines whether or not the leading portion of the transfer destination name “Osaka Prefecture XX Nobunkin” is the place name set in the place name item of the suffix table 400.

  (33) Since the candidate output device 100 determines that the first part is the place name “Osaka”, the character next to the place name “Osaka” in the transfer destination name “Osaka Prefecture XX Nobunkin” is associated with the place name “Osaka”. Then, it is determined whether or not the suffix is set in the suffix item of the suffix table 400.

  (34) Since the candidate output device 100 determines that the next character of the place name “Osaka” is a suffix, the transfer destination name is deleted by deleting the suffix “fu” that is the next character of the place name “Osaka”. A conversion rule for converting “Osaka Prefecture XX Nobunkin” is specified.

  Further, since the candidate output device 100 determines that the next character of the place name “Osaka” is a suffix, it replaces the suffix “fu” that is the next character of the place name “Osaka” with another suffix “city”. By doing so, the conversion rule for converting the transfer destination name “Osaka Prefecture XX Shinkin” is specified.

<Another example of conversion of the character string that is the name of the financial institution at the transfer destination>
Next, another example of conversion of a character string that is the name of a transfer destination financial institution using the conversion rule specified in FIG. 11 will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 12 is an explanatory diagram showing another example of conversion of a character string that is the name of a financial institution to which money is transferred. (35) In FIG. 12, the candidate output device 100 determines the transfer destination name “Osaka Prefecture XX Shinkin” as it is as the character string to be searched.

  (36) The candidate output device 100 deletes the suffix “fu”, which is the next character after the place name “Osaka”, and in accordance with the conversion rule for converting the bank name, the bank name “Osaka Prefecture XX Shinkin”. Is converted to the character string “Osaka XX Shinkin” and determined as a character string to be searched.

  (37) The candidate output device 100 replaces the suffix “fu”, which is the next character after the place name “Osaka”, with the suffix “city”, thereby converting the transfer destination name “ "Osaka Prefecture XX Shinkin" is converted to the character string "Osaka City XX Shinkin" and determined as a search target character string.

<Another example of candidate name candidate output>
Next, another example of formal name candidate output using the character string to be searched determined in FIG. 12 will be described. The candidate output device 100 associates with each character string to be searched, which is an abbreviation of a financial institution, in the same manner as in FIG. Is displayed on the display.

  Then, the candidate output device 100 accepts the selection of one of the financial institutions in which candidates for the official name are displayed, determines the selected financial institution as the transfer destination, and determines the financial institution code of the selected financial institution. Set up and perform contact operations.

  Thereby, the candidate output device 100 notifies the candidate of the official name of the financial institution that can be the official name of the financial institution of the transfer destination to the operator of the financial institution serving as the user of the candidate output device 100. Thus, the official name of the financial institution to which payment is to be made can be selected. For this reason, the user of the candidate output device 100 grasps that the customer may have entered the official name of the transfer destination financial institution in error, and also specifies the official name of the transfer destination financial institution. Can be reduced.

  More specifically, the candidate output device 100 outputs candidate names “Osaka XX Shinkin Bank”, “Osaka Prefecture XX Shinkin Bank”, and “Osaka City XX Shinkin Bank” as candidates for the official name of the financial institution to which the transfer is made. The user of the device 100 can be notified. For this reason, the user of the candidate output device 100 is a financial institution whose customer is trying to transfer only a financial institution whose official name is “Osaka Prefecture XX Shinkin” corresponding to the abbreviation “Osaka Prefecture XX Shinkin”. Rather, it can be grasped that there exist multiple.

  In other words, the user of the candidate output device 100 can grasp that the customer may have mistakenly entered “Osaka City XX Shinkin” as the transfer destination name and entered “Osaka Prefecture XX Shinkin”. it can. Then, the user of the candidate output device 100 does not have to manually search for a candidate for financial institution to which the customer tried to transfer by referring to a candidate for the official name of the destination financial institution. The amount can be reduced.

  As a result, the user of the candidate output device 100 can prevent the transfer destination financial institution from being mistakenly transferred, and can improve the accuracy and safety of the counter service of the financial institution.

<Example of official name search>
Next, an example of an official name search will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 13 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a search for an official name. Here, in the slip 700, using the transfer destination entry field of the slip 700, the character string “○ △ ×” indicating the transfer destination financial institution, the type of transfer destination financial institution “bank”, the transfer destination financial institution Assume that the branch “Tokyo” is entered. In other words, “◯ △ × bank” is entered in the slip 700 as the transfer destination name.

  The candidate output device 100 does not convert the transfer destination name because the transfer destination name “◯ △ × bank” does not include a place name, and determines the transfer destination name “○ △ × bank” as a search target character string. To do. Then, the candidate output device 100 searches the abbreviation table 300 for a record in which the transfer destination name “◯ Δ × bank” is set in the abbreviation item. Here, since the candidate output device 100 could not search, the candidate output device 100 does not extract the official name of the financial institution.

  (41) Since the candidate output device 100 has failed in the abbreviation search, the candidate output device 100 searches for the official name. The candidate output device 100 searches the abbreviation table 300 for a record in which the transfer name “◯ △ × bank” is set in the formal name item. Here, because the candidate output device 100 has been able to search, the candidate name of the financial institution “○ Δ × bank” set in the official name field of the searched record is extracted. (42) The candidate output device 100 displays the extracted official name of the financial institution on the display.

  Thereby, the candidate output device 100 can specify the official name of the financial institution of the transfer destination when the customer enters the official name as the transfer destination name. Then, the candidate output device 100 notifies the official name of the transfer destination financial institution to the operator of the financial institution serving as the user of the candidate output device 100, and selects the official name of the transfer destination financial institution. Can be made. As a result, the user of the candidate output device 100 can prevent the transfer destination financial institution from being mistakenly transferred, and can improve the accuracy and safety of the counter service of the financial institution.

<Example of short name search>
Next, an example of a search for an abbreviated name will be described using FIG.

  FIG. 14 is an explanatory diagram illustrating an example of a search for abbreviated names. Here, it is assumed that “hama silver” is entered in the slip 700 as the transfer destination name. Since the place name is not included in the transfer destination name “Hamagin”, the candidate output device 100 determines the transfer destination name “Hamagin” as a search target character string without converting the transfer destination name. Then, the candidate output device 100 searches the abbreviation table 300 for a record in which the transfer destination name “Hamagin” is set in the abbreviation item. Here, since the candidate output device 100 could not search, the candidate output device 100 does not extract the official name of the financial institution.

  Next, since the candidate output device 100 has failed in the abbreviation search, the candidate output device 100 searches for the official name. The candidate output device 100 searches the abbreviation table 300 for a record in which the transfer destination name “Hamagin” is set in the official name item. Here, since the candidate output device 100 could not search, the candidate output device 100 does not extract the official name of the financial institution.

  (51) The candidate output device 100 searches for the abbreviated name because the search for the abbreviated name and the formal name has failed. The candidate output device 100 searches the shortening table 500 for a record in which the transfer destination name “Hamagin” is set in the shortened name item. Here, since the candidate output device 100 has been able to perform the search, it extracts the official name “Yokohama XX Bank” of the financial institution set in the official name field of the searched record. (52) The candidate output device 100 displays the extracted official name of the financial institution on the display.

  As a result, the candidate output device 100 can specify a candidate for the official name of the financial institution at the transfer destination even when the customer enters a short name specific to the region to which the customer belongs as the transfer destination name. Then, the candidate output apparatus 100 notifies the operator of the financial institution serving as the user of the candidate output apparatus 100 of the candidate for the official name of the transfer destination financial institution, and the official name of the transfer destination financial institution. Can be selected. As a result, the user of the candidate output device 100 can prevent the transfer destination financial institution from being mistakenly transferred, and can improve the accuracy and safety of the counter service of the financial institution.

(Example of candidate output processing procedure)
Next, an example of a candidate output processing procedure will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 15 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a candidate output processing procedure. In FIG. 15, the candidate output device 100 reads a slip 700 (step S1501). Next, the candidate output device 100 extracts a transfer destination name (step S1502). Then, the candidate output device 100 executes an abbreviation search process (step S1503).

  Next, the candidate output device 100 determines whether an abbreviation has been searched (step S1504). Here, if a search is made (step S1504: Yes), the candidate output device 100 indicates the official name of the financial institution corresponding to the searched abbreviation as a candidate for the official name of the transfer-destination financial institution. A list of search results is displayed (step S1505).

  Next, the candidate output device 100 determines whether any of the official name candidates has been selected (step S1506). Here, when it is not selected (step S1506: No), the candidate output device 100 returns to the process of step S1506. On the other hand, when selected (step S1506: Yes), the candidate output device 100 proceeds to the process of step S1511.

  On the other hand, if no search is made in step S1504 (step S1504: No), the candidate output device 100 searches for a formal name (step S1507). Next, the candidate output device 100 determines whether or not the official name has been searched (step S1508). Here, when the search is performed (step S1508: Yes), the candidate output device 100 proceeds to the process of step S1511.

  On the other hand, when not searched (step S1508: No), the candidate output device 100 searches for a shortened name (step S1509). Next, the candidate output device 100 determines whether or not a shortened name has been searched (step S1510). If the search is made (step S1510: YES), the candidate output device 100 proceeds to the process of step S1511.

  In step S1511, the candidate output device 100 sets the financial institution code of the financial institution corresponding to the official name of the financial institution (step S1511), and ends the candidate output processing. On the other hand, when the search is not performed (step S1510: No), the candidate output device 100 outputs an error screen (step S1512) and ends the candidate output process. As a result, the candidate output device 100 can output candidates for the official name of the financial institution to which money is transferred.

(Example of abbreviation search processing procedure)
Next, an example of the abbreviation search processing procedure shown in step S1503 will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 16 is a flowchart illustrating an example of an abbreviation search processing procedure. In FIG. 16, the candidate output device 100 determines whether or not the character string at the head of the transfer destination name is a place name (step S1601). Here, when it is not a place name (step S1601: No), the candidate output device 100 ends the abbreviation search process.

  On the other hand, when it is a place name (step S1601: Yes), the candidate output device 100 determines whether or not the character immediately after the place name is a suffix (step S1602). Here, when it is a suffix (step S1602: Yes), the candidate output device 100 generates a character string in which the character immediately after the place name of the transfer destination name is replaced with another suffix (step S1603). Next, the candidate output device 100 generates a character string in which the character immediately after the place name of the transfer destination name is deleted (step S1604). Then, the candidate output device 100 proceeds to the process of step S1606.

  On the other hand, when it is not a suffix (step S1602: No), the candidate output device 100 generates a character string in which a suffix is inserted after the place name of the transfer destination name (step S1605). Next, the candidate output device 100 proceeds to the process of step S1606.

  In step S1606, the candidate output device 100 searches each generated character string (step S1606). Thereby, candidate output device 100 can specify a formal name of a financial institution corresponding to each abbreviation by generating a plurality of abbreviations from a transfer place name.

  As described above, according to the candidate output device 100, an abbreviation that matches at least one of one or more new character strings obtained by converting the input character string according to the conversion rule corresponding to the character string included in the input character string. The official name associated with can be output. Thus, even if the candidate output device 100 does not store the abbreviation that matches the input character string, the candidate name is associated with the abbreviation that matches at least one of the one or more character strings converted from the input character string. Candidates can be output.

  Specifically, the candidate output device 100 can be configured to provide the official name of the financial institution to which the deposit is made even when the customer enters the abbreviation “Aichi Prefecture ○○ Shinkin” of the financial institution that is not stored as an abbreviation table in the abbreviation table. Candidate names of financial institutions that can be names can be identified and output. Further, the candidate output device 100 becomes the official name of the financial institution of the transfer destination even when the customer incorrectly enters the official name of the transfer destination financial institution and enters “Aichi-gun XX Nobunkin” or the like as the transfer destination name. The candidate for the official name of the financial institution can be identified and output.

  Further, according to the candidate output device 100, a formal name associated with an abbreviation that matches the input character string can be output. Thus, the candidate output device 100 is associated with the abbreviation that matches the input character string, together with the formal name candidate that is associated with the abbreviation that matches at least one of the one or more character strings obtained by converting the input character string. Candidates for formal names can be output.

  Specifically, the candidate output device 100 uses the name “Osaka XX Shinkin” or “Osaka City XX Shinkin” or the like of the financial institution from the “Osaka XX Shinkin” entered by the customer as the transfer destination name. It can be specified and output as a candidate for the official name of the financial institution at the transfer destination. Further, the candidate output device 100 identifies the official name “Osaka XX Shinkin” corresponding to “Osaka XX Shinkin” entered by the customer as the transfer destination name, and outputs it as a candidate for the official name of the financial institution. Can do. As a result, the user of the candidate output device 100 can grasp that there are a plurality of candidates for financial institutions that the customer is trying to transfer.

  Further, according to the candidate output device 100, a formal name associated with an abbreviation that matches at least one of one or a plurality of character strings converted from the input character string, and a formal name that corresponds to an abbreviation that matches the input character string Can be output in a selectable manner. Thereby, the candidate output device 100 can determine the transfer-destination financial institution and perform a counter service.

  Here, the conventional information processing apparatus stores the abbreviations of all possible financial institutions and the official names of the financial institutions in association with each other, and stores the official names associated with the abbreviations that match the input character string. The case where it outputs is considered. However, in this case, the storage area used by the conventional information processing apparatus becomes enormous, and the official name cannot be output if the input character string does not match the stored abbreviation.

  On the other hand, the candidate output device 100 according to the present embodiment can output a formal name associated with an abbreviation that matches at least one of one or more character strings obtained by converting the input character string according to the conversion rule. . Thereby, the candidate output device 100 can output candidates for the official name of the financial institution even for an input character string that is not stored as an abbreviation. In addition, an increase in the storage area used by the candidate output device 100 can be suppressed. Further, the candidate output device 100 can reduce the work burden on the user of the candidate output device 100 for storing the abbreviation of the financial institution and the official name of the financial in association with each other.

  Note that the formal name candidate output method described in the present embodiment can be realized by executing a program prepared in advance on a computer such as a personal computer or a workstation. The official name candidate output program is recorded on a computer-readable recording medium such as a hard disk, a flexible disk, a CD-ROM, an MO, and a DVD, and is executed by being read from the recording medium by the computer. The official name candidate output program may be distributed via a network such as the Internet.
