Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Object of the Invention] (Industrial application field) The present invention relates to a character reading device. 2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in a character reading apparatus, some supplementary fields for supplementing the contents of the form data are set after the form data, and these are set as individual screens on a predetermined display screen. By displaying each screen,
Data has been entered into the supplementary fields as needed. By the way, as shown in FIG. 5, in such processing, the data screen to be processed is composed of, for example, one form data screen A and two supplementary field screens A ₁ and A ₂ . , first from the state in which the form data screen a is displayed, pressing the next screen key is the first supplemental field screen a ₁ is displayed, further next supplemental field screen a ₂ is displayed by pressing the next screen key again . That is, in this process, each time the next screen key is pressed, the screen is unconditionally updated one by one, and, for example, n times of key operations are required to display the nth screen. Therefore, in the conventional character reading device described above,
There is a problem that extra labor and time are required until the target supplementary field screen is displayed, and the efficiency of supplementary field screen processing is reduced. (Problems to be solved by the invention) The present invention is to solve such problems.
Only the supplementary field screens that require the input of supplementary data can be displayed on the display screen, and the time and effort required to reach the target supplementary field screen can be saved, greatly improving the efficiency of screen processing. It is an object of the present invention to provide a character reading device that can perform the reading. [Structure of the Invention] (Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a form data as a result of reading characters on a form and a supplementary field for supplementing the contents of the form data. Data and 1 each
In a character reading device to be displayed on a screen, a display execution condition defining means for predefining a condition for executing the display of the supplementary field data, and input data when data satisfying the condition is input by a predetermined input operation And displaying means for displaying the corresponding supplementary field data based on the (Operation) In the character reading device of the present invention, when data satisfying the condition defined by the display execution condition defining means is input by a predetermined input operation, the display means reads the supplementary field data based on the input data. Execute the display,
Only a screen that requires input of supplementary data can be displayed on the display screen, and the time and effort required to reach the target supplementary field screen can be saved, and the efficiency of screen processing can be greatly increased. Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a configuration of a character reading device according to one embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a character reading unit that optically scans a form P to read the form data, 2 a format control information storage memory storing format control information, and 3 controls the entire apparatus according to the format control information. The control unit 4 performs a data memory for storing the form data read by the character reading unit 1 together with data of a supplementary field for supplementing the contents of the form data. A display device 6 for displaying field data as individual data screens for each screen is a keyboard 6 used for performing various input operations. In the display processing of the supplementary field screen of this embodiment, some conditions are defined in advance on the format control, and the display of the supplementary field screen is executed only when the conditions are satisfied. I do. It should be noted that the conditions here use numerical values including confirmation of how many screens to advance to (or to return to). Further, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG.
A next screen designation input section K on the display screen W is provided so that the next screen is designated by inputting a numerical value to a predetermined coordinate position on the display screen W. , The designated supplementary field screen is displayed. As shown in FIG. 3, determination of the next screen by inputting a numerical value to the next screen designation input unit K is performed in a box 7 having data storage units 7a, 7b, 7c... Corresponding to each screen. That is, when the supplemental field screen A ₁ is displayed, the data input "1" in order to update one screen to the next screen designation input unit K, the data corresponding to the supplemental field screen A ₁ at the present time data Storage
Entered in 7b. Thus supplementary field data of the screen A ₁ of next screen (supplementary field screen A ₂₎ are designated address of the data memory 4 stores, the display is executed. Next, a specific operation of the screen processing by the apparatus of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. In the figure, A, B, C each form data _{screen, A 1, B 1, C} 1, C 2 are respectively sidelights field screen. In this embodiment, by pressing the next screen key of the keyboard 6 while the form data screen A is displayed,
The following form data screen B is displayed interlaced supplementary field screen A _1. Then, when displaying the supplemental field screen B ₁ form data screen B, by entering "1" on the next screen designation input unit K on the display screen W, supplemental field screen B ₁ is displayed. Next, when the next screen key is pressed, a form data screen C is displayed. Furthermore, now to enter a "2" on the next screen designation input unit K, the following supplemental field screen C ₂ is displayed interlaced supplementary field screen C _1. Also, if you return here to the previous screen C ₁ is, before you press the screen key. When returning to the form data screen C directly,
This is executed by inputting "0" and pressing the previous screen key. In the above operation, if the input numerical value does not match the predefined condition, it is regarded as an error, this is displayed as a message on the display screen W, and re-input is requested. Thus, according to the character reading device of this embodiment, the supplementary field screen that does not require input of supplementary data can be skipped and only the supplementary field screen that requires input can be displayed on the display screen. The time and effort required for the process can be greatly reduced, and the efficiency of the supplementary field screen processing can be greatly improved. [Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, only a supplementary field screen that requires input of supplementary data can be displayed on the display screen, and the time required to reach the target supplementary field screen can be reduced. Time can be saved significantly.
