DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Table of Contents] Overview Industrial field of use Problems to be solved by the prior art invention Means for solving the problem (FIG. 1) Working examples (FIGS. 2 to 5) Figure) Effect of the Invention [Outline] An input correction device for correcting input form data corresponding to any form data of a master file storing a plurality of data items constituting form data on a host side in form units. Display means for displaying each data item of the input form data, instruction input means for indicating one item of the data content among the data items of the form data displayed on the display means, A search unit for searching for the form data stored in the master file using the entire item as a key, and using the form data searched by the search unit as a candidate for a correction value of the input data. Correction value candidate output means for inputting, and replacement means for replacing data of an item to be corrected in the input form data by a candidate for a correction value of the input data output by the correction value candidate output means. When the input data is incorrect, the data from the master file is taken in, thereby facilitating the correction of the input data. The present invention relates to a character input correction device for correcting input data from a handwritten character input device. An CR (optical character reader) is used as an input device to a computer. CR shows a high recognition rate for alphabets and numbers, and CRs for handwritten numbers and alphabets have already been put into practical use. However, reading of kanji characters, especially handwritten kanji characters, is not always at a high recognition rate, and post-processing (error data correction processing) after reading processing of kanji-mixed data by CR involves:
It takes a lot of effort and time. Therefore, it is desired to provide an input correction device that can easily perform post-processing of data containing kanji. [Prior art] When handwriting a report on a CR and inputting it to a computer, numbers and alphabets were mainly used in the past, and post-processing for kanji was difficult, so almost all lines were not used on a practical basis. I wasn't. In addition, since the recognition rate is high, it is sufficient to correct the misreading of numbers and alphabets only by using a program or the like that can be checked on a program, because of its high recognition rate. For example, in the case of year, month, and day data, since the range of the data is known in advance, data outside the range is checked as an error, and correct data is input from a keyboard or the like. [Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, if a user tries to input a form including a handwritten kanji by CR, the false recognition rate increases.
A great deal of time and effort is required for processing for correction, and there is a problem that it cannot be put to practical use as it is. The present invention has been made in view of such a point,
An object of the present invention is to reduce the load on an operator when correcting data that is erroneously input when inputting data that has a correspondence relationship with data stored in a master file. [Means for Solving the Problems] FIG. 1 is a diagram for explaining the principle of the present invention. In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a host computer to which a master file 3 and a reception file 4 are connected. 2
Is a terminal control device having a CR (optical reading device) 6, a keyboard 7, and a display device 5. The terminal control device 2 performs a task of inputting a form. In the master file 3, for example, data on a one-year contract insurance (for example, group life insurance) is entered, and the form of the new contract, including the form of re-contract with the end of the contract period, is from CR6. It is assumed that the file is read and the new year's acceptance file 4 is created. The form data read from the CR 6 is displayed on the display device 5. If the correct part of the displayed data is used as a key, for example, if the name of the contractor is Then, the master file is searched, and the searched data is also displayed on the display device 5. Then, when the correct data is retrieved, it is read into the acceptance file 4 as new data. [Action] To correct kanji data to correct kanji data,
Normally, the terminal is used offline, and kanji data is input for each character. In this way, the data registered in the master file connected to the host computer is used. Does not need to be corrected for each character, and correction processing becomes easy. In particular, in cases such as group life insurance and single-pay old-age insurance, which are renewed every year or every few years, and where many people are already registered in the master file, the search results show that most In this case, hit data exists, and the effect is great. FIG. 2 shows an embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 2, the same members as those shown in the principle view of the invention in FIG. 1 are given the same numbers, and the detailed description thereof will be omitted. 2, the host computer 1 includes a file control unit 11, an input / output control unit 12, and a control unit 13 including a CPU. The file control unit 11 is connected to the master file 3 and the reception file 4, and controls the transfer of data to and from each file. The input / output control unit 12 is a part that controls the input and output of data to and from the terminal control device 2. The file control unit 11 and the input / output control unit 12 each include a CPU.
Controlled by 3. The terminal control device 2 includes a display processing unit 22 for processing display data on the display device 5 and a line control unit 21 for controlling a connection line to the host computer. Control unit 2 including CPU provided independently
Controlled by 3. In addition, a CR 6 and a keyboard switch 7 are connected to the terminal control device 2. As shown in FIG. 2, in the present invention, the terminal control device 2 to which the CR 6 is connected accesses the master file 3 via the host computer 1 in the post-processing after the handwritten document reading device processing. It is required to be possible. In such a device, a form containing handwritten kanji can be
Read it into CR6 and create an acceptance file first. The following is an example of a group life insurance contract for one year. The master file 3 stores all data on contractors in the previous year. Since insurance is a one-year contract, in the new fiscal year, a new application (form) for the contract will be issued, and this application (form) will be
It will be read by CR6 and create a new master file. First, an application (form) for a new contract is submitted to CR6, and an acceptance file 4 storing the result as it is is created. After all the application forms (forms) are read, a correction process for correcting misread data is performed. With reference to FIGS. 3, 4, and 5, a handwritten character input correction method according to the present invention will be described. FIG. 3 shows the screen of the display device 5 during the correction processing, FIG. 4 shows the flow of the correction processing, and FIG. 5 describes the data correction flow during the correction processing in detail. First, a correction processing flow will be described with reference to FIG. First, the reception number of the application form (form) is entered as a key (step 1), and the reception file 4 is searched (step 2). Entering the receipt number as this key
When checking the total number of the reception files 4, the data is incremented by one from 1 until the data is sequentially completed. Also, as described in the following example, check the data of the place where the same data of each application should be included, and remove only the data that is not the same data to improve the efficiency of the check. May be. Data corresponding to the input key is called from a reception file connected to the host computer, and is output to the screen of the display device 5 (step 3). The correction is confirmed by referring to the displayed data with reference to the application form (step 4). Thereafter, the reception file 4 is updated by operating a keyboard or the like (step 5). The details of the data correction / confirmation processing shown in step 4 are further shown in FIG. This will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 5 and 3. FIG. 3A shows the application form data in step 3 of FIG. Needless to say, this application form data is the data as it is when the application form (form) is read in advance by CR6. As shown in the figure, when the data is insurance, there is an item of the name of the policyholder and an item of the name of the insured, and in most cases, the policyholder and the insured are the same person. If this name is recognized and stored as different, it is very likely that either of them is incorrect, so refer to the original application form,
It is confirmed which is the correct data (FIG. 5, step 41). Next, "*" is entered at the beginning of the correct name (step 42), and the master file 3 connected to the host computer 1 is searched using this name as a key (step 43). For example, in the one shown in FIG.
Assuming that Taro Yamada was read as the contractor and Taro Yamaguchi was read as the insured person, and if the correct name was Taro Yamada, as shown in FIG. 3 (B), "*" was added to the top of Taro Yamada. Put. By this operation, "Taro Yamada" is selected as a search key, and the master file 3 is searched. Since the master file 3 stores all the names of the contractors of the previous year, in the case of an update application, there is 100% correct name data, and the correct name is displayed. (Step 44). After confirming the correct name on the screen (step 45), the acceptance file is updated. In the example shown in the figure, an example in which only one character is corrected, such as "Yamaguchi" as "Yamada," is given. Therefore, it is difficult to understand the convenience of the input correction method according to the present invention. Or, it is effective when the kanji to be input is very difficult. Also, the terminal to which CR6 is connected does not have to be a terminal specifically intended for inputting kanji, which can contribute to cost reduction. [Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, by designating one of the data items of the plurality of data items constituting the form data, the data corresponding to the input data is stored in the master file. , It is possible to easily obtain a correction candidate for the item to be corrected, and when correcting kanji etc., there is no need to perform kana-kanji conversion, etc.
Correction can be easily performed, and the load on the operator can be reduced. Further, a separate database for obtaining the correction value candidates is unnecessary. Moreover, in the present invention, the data corresponding to the input data is set as a candidate for the correction value. Therefore, even if the data corresponding to the input data is a unique value such as a personal name, it is possible to appropriately output the correction value candidate. Can be.
