DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS.

The document processing apparatus according to this embodiment includes a character reading section (character reading means , point number adjusting means, and typeface adjusting means for reading each character (document data) of a document by encoding.
Means ) and a document processing section (point number adjustment) for performing various control processes on the document data read by the character reading section.
Adjusting means and typeface adjusting means ).

As shown in FIG. 1, the character reading section first reads each character of a document optically as a bit image using an OCR (Optical Character Reader) (not shown) (S1). The OCR reads the number of points and the type of each character as data as the character code is read as a bit image. Then, in order to perform a matching process on the bit image, a rectangular range is designated so as to be realized as a character from the scattered state of the bit image, and the bit image is divided into minimum units (S2).

Next, the matching is performed with the matching dictionary based on the characteristics of the bit image divided into the rectangular shape as described above, habits, and the like. As a result, a character code, a point number, a typeface, and the like of a character having a high degree of similarity can be obtained. Note that if the matching is performed alone, there is a possibility that the meaning may be lost as a word. Therefore, the recognition rate is increased by correcting and strengthening the characteristic information with reference to the recognition result of the preceding and following characters. A plurality of character codes are output as a countermeasure for erroneous recognition. If an independent word is formed in the candidate character list, a process of bringing the character code to the first candidate is performed. Is performed (S3).

Next, after the above-described matching processing, in order to unify the number of points and the typeface in independent word units,
Adjusting the number of points (S4) and adjusting the font type (S
Perform 5). The above adjustment of the number of points is performed by aligning the points with the largest number of points in the independent word.
Adjustment of the typeface is done by majority voting in independent words or by adjusting to the first typeface that appears.

Then, the number of points, the type of font, the character code, etc. obtained as a result of the recognition as described above are transmitted as transmission data to a later-described document processing unit (S6). End the processing process.

The above transmission data is, as shown in FIG.
For example, in the document "The capital of Japan is Tokyo", "The capital of Japan" is a textbook with 7.5 points, "Tokyo" is a Gothic font with 10.5 points, and "To" is a textbook with 8 points. In the case of a body, the transmission format is transmitted as a format as shown in FIG. The format shown in FIG. 3 is a tentative example format in which the number of characters, candidate character codes, checksums, and the like are omitted.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 4, the document processing section includes a reception buffer 1 for storing transmission data from the character reading section as reception data, and a point number for recognizing a point number for each character in the reception data. An information table (point number recognition means) 2, a font type information table (font type recognition means) 3 for recognizing a font type for each character in the received data, and each of the information tables 2 and 3 A document buffer (document storage means) 4 for storing character data as document data.

The data processing process in the document processing unit will be described below.

First, in S10, data transmitted from the character reading unit is received and stored in the reception buffer 1 as received data.

Then, for the character code in the received data, a candidate character selection process is performed (S11).
For example, even if the character “day” is read by the OCR, it is not always recognized as the character “day”. Therefore, several candidate character codes are tied together as the character code of the received data. For example, in the case of "day", for example, "white", "mortar", "eye", etc.
The user selects an appropriate character code from the candidates on the screen or the like, and inputs the character code to the document buffer 4.

For the data of the number of points in the received data, it is searched whether or not the data of the number of points extracted from the reception buffer 1 exists in the point number information table 2 (S12). If the data of the number of points is not found in the point number information table 2 in the search in S12, the closest point number is selected among them. For example,
When five types of points, 6.5 points, 8 points, 9 points, 10 points, and 12 points are registered in the point number information table 2, the data of the number of points extracted from the reception buffer 1 is 7. If it is 5 points, the processing is performed as the closest 8 points.

Then, from the input setting state of the cursor position in the document buffer 4, the number of points currently input is known from the document buffer 4, and is compared with the number of points obtained in the point number replacement process. If they are the same, the processing to the document buffer 4 is exempted. On the other hand, when the number of points is different, the input setting state of the document buffer 4 is set to the number of points (S13). This setting is
It is valid until the next point number or the last data of the received data is processed.However, since the subsequent points affect the number of points after the cursor position before reception, the original point number is automatically It is something that returns.

For the type data among the received data, it is searched whether or not the type data extracted from the reception buffer 1 is in the type information table 3 (S14). If the data of the font type is not found in the font type information table 3 in the search in S14, the Mincho font which is the basic font type of the document processing apparatus is selected. For example, in the font type information table 3, Mincho font, Gothic font, regular square font, line font,
When five types of typefaces, that is, a gothic type and a round type, are registered, and if the data of the typeface extracted from the reception buffer 1 is a text typeface, the processing is performed as a basic typeface, Mincho.

Then, from the input setting state of the cursor position in the document buffer 4, the type of font currently input is known from the document buffer 4, and is compared with the type of font obtained by the font type replacement process. If they are the same, the processing to the document buffer 4 is exempted. On the other hand, if the typeface is different,
The input setting state of the document buffer 4 is set to the typeface (S15). Note that this setting is valid until the next font type or the last data of the received data is processed.However, since the subsequent processes affect the font type after the cursor before reception, the original font type is affected. It automatically returns to the typeface.

As described above, the document processing apparatus of the present embodiment encodes and reads each character (document data) of a document and reads the number of points and type of each character as data. And a document processing unit that stores transmission data from the character reading unit as reception data and performs various control processes on the reception data. The document processing unit includes a point number information table 2 for recognizing the number of points for each character in the received data, a font type information table 3 for recognizing a font type for each character in the received data, A document buffer 4 for storing each character data recognized in the information tables 2 and 3;

Therefore, in addition to the character code of each character constituting the document data, the number of points and the type of each character can be stored as data in the document buffer 4 of the document processing unit. Therefore, in a case where a document is printed by connecting a printer to the document processing apparatus, the document can be automatically printed out with the number of points and the typeface according to the document data of the document.
