In a voucher processing system for processing both vouchers and non-exchange vouchers, there is a business office system, a foreign exchange processing system, and a host system. Automatically determine whether or not both data input from the corresponding OCR device and the data input from the corresponding OCR device are exchange slip data based on the form ID in the character recognition data. A plurality of counter terminals, and a terminal control device that collects both data from each counter terminal in the case of exchange slip data and transmits it to the system for currency exchange processing, and directly transmits to the host system in the case of data other than exchange slips, The system for currency processing includes multiple terminals where clean data is created by matching both data, and clean data returned from each terminal by delivering both data received from the system for sales offices to each terminal. To a host system.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a voucher processing system in which a voucher is read by a system of a branch office, and the obtained voucher data is processed by a host system.

This type of system is used for banking, and slips received at each branch are centrally processed by the bank's host system.

[Prior Art] In FIG. 6, a system 10 is provided at each branch of a bank and is connected to a host system 14 of the bank by a line.

The system 10 of these branches includes a plurality of OCR devices 16, and the customer fills in a required form on a slip (see FIG. 7).
Step 700), the slip is accepted by the teller at the counter O
When set on the CR device 16 (step 702 in FIG. 7), reading of a slip and character recognition are performed (step 70).
Four).

Further, the read data and the character recognition data are given from the OCR device 16 to the corresponding counter terminal 18, and the counter terminal 18
, The read data and the character recognition data are displayed simultaneously in parallel.

Then, the code of the character recognition data and the image of the read data are matched by the teller of the counter terminal 18 to determine whether or not the character recognition has been normally performed, and the character recognition data is corrected as necessary ( Fig. 7 Step
706,708).

When the work is completed, the read data and the character recognition data are transferred to the terminal control device 20 and temporarily stored in the external storage device 21.

Further, the read data and the character recognition data are read from the external storage device 21 to the terminal 23, and verification and approval work is performed by the official (step 710 in FIG. 7).

That is, the correctness of the correction at the counter terminal 18 is checked at the terminal 23, and the recognition data is corrected again if necessary.

The resulting clean data (only character recognition data) is transferred to the terminal control device 20 and transmitted to the processing device 26 of the host system 14 (step in FIG. 7).
712).

The processing device 26 of the host system 14 determines whether the form of the received data is addressed to the own line or another line. If the form is addressed to the own line, the processing of the form is performed in the host system 14.

When the data is addressed to another bank, the received clean data is transmitted to the line (via the JBA host) and transmitted to the host system of the other bank.

Note that the clean data of each slip is stored in the external storage device 28, and the slip processing result of the same bank is also stored in the external storage device 28.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] Various slips are accepted at the counter of a bank, and among them, it is desirable that a skilled teller processes an exchange slip.

However, it is practically impossible to arrange skilled tellers at all the tellers, and for this reason, tellers who are not skilled in the currency exchange business often accept currency exchange slips.

Therefore, it takes time to process the currency exchange slip, and as a result, the window service of each branch is delayed.

Further, in the case of an exchange slip handled as a telegraph, it is required to transfer the slip to the destination branch within one hour after receiving the slip, and it is desired that this slip processing be performed in a shorter time.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned conventional circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a slip processing system capable of more efficiently performing a window operation of a branch office.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above object, a system according to the present invention is configured as shown in FIG.

Of the slip data obtained in the system 10 of FIG. 1, those other than the exchange slip are directly transmitted to the host system 14, and only the exchange slip is transmitted to the system 12.

In the exchange processing system 12, the above-described clean data is created from the data of the received exchange slip, and the clean data is transmitted to the host computer.

And, in the system 10 for a branch, a plurality of OCR
Devices 16 are prepared, and slips are set on them.

In each OCR device 16, the set slip is read and character recognition is performed, and when the read data and character recognition data are given to the corresponding counter terminal 18, whether or not it is an exchange slip is automatically determined by the form ID in the character recognition data. Is determined.

Further, the read data and the character recognition data for which it is determined whether or not the document is an exchange slip are collected by the terminal control device 20, and in the case of the data of the exchange slip, the data is transmitted to the exchange processing system 12 and is transmitted to the data other than the exchange slip. In case of host system
Sent directly to 14.

The data of the exchange slip is received by the processing device 24 and delivered to a plurality of terminals 22.

In these terminals 22, clean data is created by matching read data and character recognition data, and the processing device 24
And then transmitted to the host system 14.

[Operation] In the present invention, the work related to the processing of the currency exchange slip is performed intensively in the currency exchange processing system 12.

Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of a system according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

In FIG. 1, an OCR slip formatted as shown in FIG. 2 is set in each OCR device 16 prepared in the system 10.

The form ID is pre-printed on this OCR slip,
The read data and character recognition data of the CR slip are input to the corresponding counter terminal 18.

FIG. 3 shows the configuration of the contact terminal 18. Each contact terminal 18 includes a CPU 18a, an OCR control unit 18b, an input display control unit 18c, an input display unit 18d, a data storage unit 18e, a compression / decompression control unit 18f, Form ID

FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating the operation of the present embodiment. A customer visiting a store selects a target OCR slip (see FIG. 2) and enters necessary items in the slip (step 500).

The OCR slip is received at the counter, and the OCR slip is set in the OCR device 16 by the teller at the counter (step 5).
02).

Reading and character recognition of OCR slips set
When the processing is performed in step 16 (step 504), these data are taken into the OCR control section 18b of the counter terminal 18, and are stored in the data storage section 18
Stored in e.

Further, when the read data is compressed by the compression / decompression control unit 18f, the data and the character recognition data are transferred to the TC communication unit 18f.
The data is transferred from i to the terminal control device 20 and stored in the external storage device 21 (step 506).

Next, the character recognition data from the data storage
It is read by the D identification unit 18g (step 508), and it is determined whether or not the form ID in the character recognition data is that of an exchange slip (step 510).

At this time, if it is confirmed that the form ID is not the one of the exchange slip (NO in step 510), the read data and the character recognition data are displayed in parallel, and it is confirmed whether the character recognition is normally performed. Then, the character recognition data corrected as necessary is transmitted to the host system 14 via the terminal control device 20 (step 512).

Further, when it is confirmed from the form ID that the slip set in the OCR device 16 is an exchange slip (YE in step 510).
S), the read data and the character recognition data are transmitted to the exchange center system 12 via the terminal control device 20 (step 514).

When the read data and the character recognition data are received from the business office by the processing device 24 of the currency exchange system 12 (step
516), the received data is temporarily stored in the external storage device 25 (step 518).

Then, the received data is transferred to the external storage device by the processing device 24.
The data is read out from the storage device 25 and transferred to a correction workstation (terminal) 22. At this time, the processing device 24 requests the transfer destination workstation 22 to perform processing.

In the workstation 22, the read data and the character recognition data are displayed in parallel, and the two are collated to check whether or not correct character recognition has been performed.

Also, omission of required items is checked, and necessary corrections are made (step 520).

The data on which this check has been performed is transferred to the workstation 22 of the official, and a similar check is performed again (step 522).

When the approval of the officer is obtained, the recognition data is processed as final clean data from the processing unit 24 to the host system.
It is transmitted to 14 (step 524).

As described above, according to the present embodiment, the currency exchange business at the counter is entirely performed by the currency exchange center, and the business is not performed at the branch office, so that the teller of the branch office can concentrate on the business other than the currency exchange.

Further, since only the currency exchange business is performed in the currency exchange center, the terminal work is greatly simplified, so that a general teller can also perform this work.

As described above, since the foreign exchange business is performed at the counter of the sales office and only the exchange business is performed at the exchange center, the efficiency of each business can be improved.

As a result, it is possible to greatly reduce the congestion of the sales office window and provide quick service to customers.

It is also possible to easily secure personnel at each sales office and exchange center.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, the currency exchange business is not performed at the office counter, but can be performed intensively in other places. It can be greatly eased, thus providing quick service to customers.

In addition, since it is not necessary to arrange a skilled teller at the window, it is easy to secure personnel for window operations.
