DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a display area on a display screen.
The present invention relates to a display device for displaying data, and further to such a table.
The present invention relates to an input device for inputting handwritten contents in a predetermined format, such as form data such as a deposit form, which is written by a customer or the like by hand at a bank, a securities company, etc., using a display device. , The handwritten character image read by the optical reading device is displayed on the screen side by side with the character image to be input / edited by the operator, and the input is made so that the operator can correctly input the contents of the document while comparing with the handwritten character. Related to the device.

Conventionally, in a bank, a securities company, or the like, when a customer enters the contents of a form written by hand into a host, the form of the form is displayed on a screen, and an operator places a handwritten form placed next to the form. While inputting the description contents using the keyboard while watching, the eyes must be moved frequently between the form and the screen, and the efficiency is extremely low. For this reason, at present, a form input device using an OCR reader for reading handwritten characters of a form is widely used. It would be best if character recognition could be performed on handwritten characters read by an OCR reader, but at present, the recognition rate is low due to abbreviations, quirks, random characters, etc., and the operator needs to intervene in some way. There is. Therefore, in the conventional form input device, the handwritten character image read from the form by the OCR reading device is displayed on the screen side by side with the character image to be input and edited by the operator, and the operator operates the keyboard while comparing with the handwritten character. It allows you to enter correct characters.

In such a form input device, if the visibility of the handwritten character image on the screen is poor, the operator must check the contents of the form by looking at the original form (handwritten form), thereby increasing the work efficiency. Absent. The present invention is to improve the visibility of a handwritten character image in the input device as described above.

[0004]

2. Description of the Related Art In a bank, a securities company or the like, a form input device is used to efficiently input a form entry written by a customer into a host. FIG. 10 shows the overall configuration of a conventional form input device. In the figure, a handwritten character of a form 10 (see FIG. 7) written by hand under a predetermined format is read by an OCR reading device 12 and converted into image data. The format data is referred to and stored in the image data memory 18 by dividing into items such as a bank name, a branch name, and an account number. On the other hand, based on the format data stored in the format data buffer 16, the input image drawing unit 20 inputs to the V-RAM 22 according to a predetermined format in which the line spacing is opened by a predetermined width in one item per line as shown in FIG. Draw an image. Then, the synthesizing unit 24 reads the input image from the V-RAM 22 and converts the handwritten character image created from the image data of the corresponding item from the image data memory 18 so as to be adjacent to the upper side of each item row of the input image. The images are synthesized and displayed on the screen of the display 26.

[0005] The screen is as shown in FIG. 12 (1). The first, second, and third lines include headings of “bank name”, “branch name”, and “account number”, and , A frame for the item content input area is displayed, and a handwritten character of the bank name is displayed on the first line, a handwritten character of the branch name is provided between the first and second lines, and the second and third lines are displayed. The handwritten letter of the account number is displayed during the period. Also,
First, the cursor position calculation unit 28 outputs the position data of the first character in the frame of the first line, and based on this, the input image drawing unit 20 outputs the data of one character in the frame of the first line of the V-RAM 22. A cursor mark is drawn at a position corresponding to the eye and displayed at the position on the screen.

The operator first reads the bank name in the handwriting on the screen with his / her eyes, and inputs the bank name using the character keys or conversion keys on the keyboard 30. Then, the cursor position calculator 28 calculates 1
Each time a character is input, the cursor position data that automatically changes rightward by one character is calculated and output, and the character input / edit processing unit 32 moves the cursor in the area corresponding to the bank name in the character data memory 34. Is written in the character position indicated by the character string, and the input image drawing unit 20 writes the corresponding character pattern
In the RAM 22, the cursor mark is first drawn horizontally from the position where the cursor mark was drawn, and the cursor mark is drawn next to the last character pattern. When the input of the bank name is completed, the screen becomes as shown in FIG.

[0007] If the bank name entered just now is, for example, 2
If the character is incorrect, the user presses the left key once among the cursor keys on the keyboard 30 to perform a cursor moving operation. In accordance with the cursor moving operation, the cursor position calculation unit 28 recalculates the cursor position, and the input image drawing unit 20
Indicates that the drawing position of the cursor mark on the V-RAM 22 is 1 on the left.
Move by character. As a result, the screen becomes as shown in FIG. Here, if the operator enters the correct characters,
The character input / edit processing unit 32 corrects the corresponding character data in the bank name storage area of the character data memory 34, and the input image drawing unit 20 redraws the character pattern at the corresponding position in the V-RAM 22. As shown in FIG. 13 (2), the correct bank name as entered by the customer is displayed, and the correct bank name is also stored in the bank name storage area of the character data memory 34.

Next, when the operator presses the down key of the cursor keys once to input the branch name, the cursor position calculation unit 28 recalculates the cursor position and enters the branch name item line (the second line). ), The cursor position data for the third character is output.
Moves the cursor mark to the same position (FIG. 13 (3)
reference). Subsequently, when the operator presses the left key twice of the cursor keys, the cursor position calculation unit 28 recalculates the cursor position, outputs position data changed by two characters to the left, and the input image drawing unit 20 The cursor mark is moved to the same position (see FIG. 14 (1)). In this state, the operator reads the handwritten branch name displayed immediately above the line with his / her eyes, and inputs the name using the character keys or conversion keys of the keyboard 30. Then, the character input / edit processing unit 32 writes the data in the area corresponding to the branch name in the character data memory 34, and the input image drawing unit 20 reads out the character pattern. Drawing is performed in order from the position where the cursor mark was drawn to the side. At this time, every time the operator inputs one character, the cursor position calculation unit 28 automatically outputs the cursor position data that changes rightward by one character, so that the screen is displayed when the branch name has been input. The result is as shown in FIG.

[0009] If the branch name can be entered correctly as written, then the account number is entered (see FIG. 14 (3)).
If the account number can be entered correctly, enter the same items if there are other items.
When the output key 0 is pressed, the output unit 36 reads the contents of each item from the character data memory 34 and outputs them to the host, so that the input processing for one form is completed. According to such a form input device, the handwritten character image read from the form by the OCR reading device is displayed on the screen side by side with the character image to be input / edited by the operator, and while the operator compares the handwritten character image with the handwritten character, the operator corrects the handwritten character image. Item contents can be input, and at this time, it is not necessary to greatly move the line of sight to compare the handwritten character and the input character of the operator, so that the input operation can be performed efficiently.

[0010]

However, in the above-described conventional form input device, when there are relatively many form entries, the space on the screen is limited, so the line spacing of the input image (see FIG. 11) is limited. Can not get a wide width
The display width of the handwritten character image per item (W in FIG. 12 (1))
Image data becomes narrower and the handwriting text entry space is larger, the image data cannot be displayed in its original size, but must be reduced and displayed in a smaller size. In the case of messy characters and the like, it becomes very difficult to see, and after all, it is necessary to check the original form to see what characters are written, and there is a problem that the input efficiency is reduced.

[0011] In this regard, it is conceivable to reduce the number of items displayed on one screen, but input operations over multiple screens require more key operations such as page breaks and scrolling of the screen, and a handwritten report. For example, it is not possible to check the entire contents of the description and the entire contents of the operator's input at a glance.
Other problems occur. Also, if the entry field for handwritten characters is small, the handwritten character image can be displayed in the same size, but in the case of abbreviations, habits, random characters, etc.
The visibility is still poor. In view of the above, an object of the present invention is to provide a display device capable of improving the visibility of a handwritten character image and improving input efficiency , and a display device including such a display device.
To provide a non-input device.

[0012]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, according to the present invention, a plurality of first display areas for displaying a form and a plurality of handwritten characters for displaying adjacent to each of the first display areas are provided.

As a result, the handwritten character image of the item where the cursor is located is displayed large in the enlarged size on the screen, and the handwritten character image of the item where the cursor is not located is displayed small in the reduced size on the screen.

FIGS. 5 and 6 are flowcharts showing the operation of the form input device described above, FIG. 7 is an explanatory view showing a specific example of a completed form, FIG. 8 is an explanatory view of data stored in a character data memory 48, FIG. 9 is an explanatory view showing a screen display example.
Description will be made with reference to these figures. Here, for the sake of simplicity, the form 40 is used for the transfer, but the entry items are only the bank name, branch name, and account number of the transfer destination as shown in FIG. OCR forms a bank transfer form, branch name, and account number filled in by hand by customer in a prescribed format
When applied to the reading device 42, the identification number and the written characters are read and converted into image data (step 1 in FIG. 5).
01). The character recognition unit 70 performs recognition processing of the identification number from the image data related to the identification number, and outputs the recognition data to the format data master file 50.
To download the format data for the transfer form 40 to the format data buffer 52 (step 102,
103). Subsequently, referring to the format data stored in the format data buffer 52, the term division unit 44 stores the image data read by the OCR reading device 42 in the image data memory 46 in each item (step 10).
4). Then, the character recognizing unit 70 performs character recognition on the image data in the image data memory 46, and stores the items in the character data memory 48 for each item (step 10).
5). Here, it is assumed that it is recognized as shown in FIG.

Subsequently, the converting section 78 of the synthesizing section 66 individually reads out the image data for each item stored in the image data memory 46, and as the enlarged handwritten character images HL1 to HL3 as they are. 2nd VR
The image data is stored individually on the enlarged size side of the AM 76, and the image data of each item stored in the image data memory 46 is reduced to reduce the size of the handwritten character images HS1 to HS.
3 is stored separately on the reduced size side of the second V-RAM 76 (step 106). The cursor position calculation unit 56 stores the cursor position data in the first line as the item content character 1.
Initialize to data indicating the character (step 10
7). Next, based on the format data stored in the format data buffer 52, the cursor position data output from the cursor position calculation unit 56, and the character data for each item stored in the character data memory 48, the input image drawing unit 60 As shown in FIG. 4A, an input image is drawn on the first V-RAM 62 for the screen in accordance with a predetermined format in which the line spacing is opened by a predetermined width per item per line (step 108). At this time, the cursor position calculation unit 56 initializes 1
The position data of the character is output, and based on this, the input image drawing unit 60 draws a cursor mark at a position corresponding to the first character in the frame of the first line of the first V-RAM 62. In this embodiment, the cursor mark is indicated by an underline, but may be indicated by an inverted character.

Next, the synthesizing unit 66 reads the input image from the first V-RAM 62 and enlarges or reduces the size of the input image so as to be adjacent to the upper side of each item row of the input image based on the image data of the corresponding item. In the handwritten character image of the size, the enlarged size is combined with the item indicated by the cursor, and the reduced size is combined with the item not designated by the cursor, and displayed on the screen of the display 66 (FIG. 6).
Step 201). At this time, the read control unit 74 sets the first V
-Since the cursor first points to the item on the first line in synchronization with the reading of the input image of the RAM 62 by interlaced scanning, the reading / synthesizing control unit 80 starts from the upper end of the input image in B1 of FIG. During the scanning to the upper end, the switch 82 is switched to the a side, and when it reaches the upper end of B1, the switch is switched to the b side, and the handwritten character image HL1 relating to the first item in the enlarged size storage area of the second V-RAM 76 is moved to the upper end. , The scanning proceeds to the lower end of the handwritten character image HL1. When the lower end of B1 at which the scanning of the first line of the input image starts, the switch 82 is switched to the a side and the second V Reading from the RAM 76 is suspended;

When the scanning proceeds to the lower end of the handwritten character image HS2 and reaches the lower end of b2 where the scanning of the second line of the input image starts, the switch 82 is switched to the a side and the second V-RA
The reading from the M76 is temporarily stopped, the reading of the second line of the input image is completed, and when it reaches the upper end of b3, it is switched to the b side, and the third item in the reduced size storage area of the second V-RAM 76 is Handwritten character image H
S3 is read out from the upper end by interlace scanning,
When the scanning proceeds to the lower end of the handwritten character image HS3 and reaches the lower end of b3 where the scanning of the third line of the input image starts, the switch 82 is switched to the a side and the second V-RA
The reading from M76 is temporarily stopped, the reading of the second row of the input image is completed, and when the reading to the lower end of the first V-RAM 62 is completed, the first V-RAM7 is read.
Returning to reading from the upper end of No. 6.

On the screen, as shown in FIG. 9 (1), the item heading "bank name" and the item content character recognized from the handwritten character are displayed in a frame on the first line, and the item content character is displayed at the top of the item content character. A cursor mark appears. In the second line, the item content character recognized from the item heading “branch name” and the handwritten character is displayed in the frame, and in the third line, the item content character recognized from the item heading “account number” and the handwritten character is displayed. Displayed in the frame. An enlarged handwritten character image HL1 related to the bank name is displayed adjacent to the upper part of the first line, and a reduced size handwritten character image HS related to the branch name adjacent to the upper part of the second line.
2 is displayed, and a handwritten character image HS3 of a reduced size related to the account number is displayed adjacent to the upper side of the third line. As a result, if you look at the screen, you can check at a glance whether there is any omission or mistake in entry, whether there is an error in character recognition, etc. For each item, the bank name entered by the customer is enlarged and displayed Therefore, the operator can easily read what characters are entered.

Here, when the bank name matches the handwritten character and the recognized character, but there is a confusing character in a part of the branch name written by the customer and there is a suspicious character that is recognized correctly. Then, the lower key of the cursor key of the keyboard 54 is pressed once. Then, the cursor position calculation unit 56 calculates and outputs the position data of the first character in the frame of the second line (steps 202 and 203). Is drawn at a position corresponding to the first character (step 10 in FIG. 5).

The reading / synthesizing control unit 80 of the synthesizing unit 64 moves the switch 82 to the a side while the cursor is changed to the item on the second row while the upper end of the input image is scanned from the upper end of b1 in FIG. When the switch reaches the upper end of b1, the switch is made to the b side, and the handwritten character image HS1 relating to the first item in the reduced size storage area of the second V-RAM 76 is read out from the upper end by interlaced scanning. When the scanning advances to the lower end of the HS1 and reaches the lower end of b1 at which the scanning of the first line of the input image starts, the switch 82 is switched to the a side and the reading from the second V-RAM 76 is temporarily stopped.

The reading of the first row of the input image proceeds, and B
2 is switched to the b side at the upper end, and the handwritten character image HL2 relating to the second item of the enlarged size storage area of the second V-RAM 76 is read out from the upper end by interlaced scanning, and the handwritten character image HL2 is read. Scan proceeds to the lower end of B2, and the scan of the second row of the input image starts.
When the switch 82 is at the lower end, the switch 82 is switched to the a side, the reading from the second V-RAM 76 is temporarily stopped, the reading of the second line of the input image is completed, and
When the switch 82 reaches the upper end of the second V-RAM 76, the switch 82 is switched to the side b.
The handwritten character image HS3 of the third item is read out from the upper end by interlaced scanning, and the handwritten character image HS3 is read.
When the scanning advances to the lower end of the input image and when the scanning reaches the lower end of b3 at which the scanning of the third row of the input image starts, the switch 82 is switched to the a side, and the reading from the second V-RAM 76 is temporarily stopped. When the reading of the second row is completed and the reading is completed to the lower end of the first V-RAM 62, the process returns to the reading from the upper end of the first V-RAM 62.

As a result, the screen changes as shown in FIG. 9 (2), and the handwritten character image relating to the branch name is enlarged and displayed.
This makes it easier for customers to read what characters they wrote, and to accurately check the correctness of recognized characters. Note that the handwritten character related to the bank name that was previously enlarged and displayed is reduced and displayed. As a result of the check, for example, when a part of the recognition character of the branch name is incorrect, if it is necessary to move the cursor to the character, the right or left key of the cursor keys is operated. Then, the cursor position data (the character position in the frame changes while the line position remains on the second line and the line position remains the second line) according to the operation is calculated by the cursor position calculation unit 56, and the input image drawing unit 60 and the combining unit 64 read out / It is output to the synthesis control unit 80. However, since the read / synthesis control unit 80 does not change the row position of the cursor, the same synthesis method as before is continued. The input image drawing section 60 changes the position of the cursor mark drawn on the first V-RAM 62 according to the change of the cursor position data. However, in this case, there is no need to perform the cursor movement operation because the first recognized character of the branch name has an error (the date is to be noticed).

In this state, character keys on the keyboard 54,
When a character input / correction operation is performed using a conversion key or the like, the character input / correction processing unit 58 refers to the format data and the cursor position data of the format data buffer 52, and stores the items related to the branch name in the character data memory 48. Rewrite the first of the content characters with a new character (eye) (steps 204 and 2).
5). The input image drawing unit 60 follows the change of the character data,
The first character of the item content on the second line of the first V-RAM 62 is redrawn in a new character pattern. In addition, in response to the character input / correction operation for one character, the cursor position calculation unit 56 automatically calculates the position one character to the right of the cursor position up to that point in the branch name item on the second line. Since it is output, a cursor mark is drawn at the position (step 108 in FIG. 5). As a result, the contents of the character data memory 48 change to correct data as shown in FIG. 8 (2), and the screen changes as shown in FIG. 9 (3), indicating that a part of the branch name has been corrected. .

If the recognized character is likely to be incorrect in the account number on the third line, if the down key of the cursor key is pressed once, the handwritten character related to the account number is obtained in the same manner as described above. Since the image is enlarged and displayed, the operator can easily read the character and can easily check whether the recognized character is correct (at this time, the handwritten character image related to the branch name is reduced). If it is necessary to correct the recognized character, the character may be corrected by performing a cursor moving operation or a character input / correction operation. In this way, for each item in the input image, the operator presses the output key of the keyboard 54 when the item content characters in the frame have been changed to the handwritten characters. Then, the output unit 72 outputs the character data memory 48
Read the contents of each item from and output to the host,
The input processing for one form is completed (step 20 in FIG. 6).
6, 207).

According to this embodiment, the handwritten character image corresponding to the item pointed by the cursor is displayed in an enlarged manner, so that the visibility is improved. Since it is easy to read and it is not necessary to look at the original form (handwritten form 40), the input efficiency is greatly improved. At this time, since the composite area of the handwritten character image is expanded above the item content character indicated by the cursor, the item content character in the frame is not hidden. Further, the character recognition unit 70 performs character recognition from the image data read by the OCR reading device 42 from the handwritten form, and stores character data for each item in the character data memory 48. It can be automated to some extent, and the working efficiency can be further improved.

In the embodiment described above, the character recognition unit 7
Although the character recognition for each item is performed at 0, the character recognition is not performed, and all the item contents may be input by a character input / edit operation by the operator. Also, the frame indicating the item content input area and the item heading character need not always be displayed on the screen. Furthermore, as an example of a handwritten document to be input, a form for transfer is described, but another type of form may be used. As described above, the present invention has been described with reference to the embodiment, the modified examples, and the applied examples. However, the present invention can be variously modified in accordance with the gist of the present invention described in the claims, and the present invention does not exclude these. .

[0034]

As described above, according to the present invention, when the operator moves the cursor to a desired item with the operating means, the cursor position calculating means calculates the cursor position and changes the composite size based on the cursor position data. Since the means is configured to increase the size of the handwritten character image relating to the desired item, the visibility of the handwritten character image of the desired item is automatically improved. You can read what kind of character it is, and even if it is an abbreviation, a habit, a messy character, etc., you do not need to check the original document every time what the written character is, and the input efficiency is greatly improved I do.
