  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In this specification, handwritten data is a term that includes document data, and data other than handwritten data is directly input using an information device other than a handwritten input device such as a keyboard such as a PC or a mobile phone. Means input data.

  First, the overall system configuration of the first embodiment will be described. FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating an example of a system configuration according to the first embodiment. The information processing system of this embodiment includes a digital pen 101, a digital pen paper / notebook 102, a digital pen notebook 103, an information management server 104, a pen data transmission box 105, a client PC 106, and a portable terminal / phone 107. The pen data transmission box is not necessary when the wireless data receiving apparatus is on the same server side. In addition, if any one of the mobile terminal / phone and the client PC exists, this system is established. The information management server 104, client PC 106, portable terminal / phone 107 are connected by a network (Internet) 108. An optimum process database (Data Base: DB) 109 is connected to the information management server 104.

  The information management server 104 is an ordinary computer or information processing apparatus that analyzes and manages data written with a digital pen or data input from a PC, and a central processing unit (CPU) that is a processing unit Each of the processes described below is executed when a CPU that is a data processing unit includes a memory that is a storage unit and a storage device (such as a magnetic disk) and executes a program stored in the memory. The information management server 104 itself can also include a display unit that is an output unit.

  FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration example of the information management server 104 which is an information processing apparatus. The server 104 includes a CPU 10401 connected via an internal bus 10405, a program storage memory 10402, a hard disk 10403, and a network interface 10404. The program storage memory 10402 stores system programs, data transmission / reception programs, writing / format checking programs, process analysis programs, optimal process checking programs, instruction pattern selection programs, writing data display programs, and data shown by 1040201 to 1040207, respectively. Is done.

  The hard disk 10403 stores writing trajectory data, personal profile, digital pen paper format data, writing pattern data, and PC / portable input data indicated by 1040301 to 1040305, respectively.

  The client PC 106 is also a normal computer and information processing apparatus, and includes a CPU as a processing unit, a memory and a storage device as a storage unit, and a display screen 10601 as an output unit, which are connected via an internal bus. Needless to say, the display unit has a keyboard and a mouse as an input unit.

  FIG. 3 shows a configuration example of the optimum process DB 109. The DB 109 is composed of optimum process pattern data 10901, instruction pattern data 10902, and optimum process / instruction pattern correspondence data 10903, which will be exemplified later with reference to FIGS. 12A, 12B, and 12C.

  Next, an outline of the operation of the entire system shown in FIG. 1 will be described. The user enters text or the like on a designated paper / notebook or notebook using a digital pen.

  FIG. 4 shows an example of writing input using digital pen paper / notebook 102 as an example. Several types of entry areas such as a name entry area 10201, a date entry area 10202, and an idea entry area 10203 are set on this sheet. By using a digital pen to fill in a sheet or notebook having such a format, writing data is sequentially input.

  FIG. 5 shows an example of a schedule notebook when the digital pen notebook 103 is used as another example. In the same notebook, as in the paper / notebook, an input area is set, and a matter entry area 10302 corresponding to the date entry area 10301 is filled with items to be executed on that date.

  FIG. 6 shows a case where data is written in another format of the digital pen paper / notebook 102 shown in FIG. In the digital pen paper / notebook 102 of this example, a plurality of input areas such as title, date, discussion, free space, conclusion, and impression shown in 10204 to 10209 are set as formats, and the user can digitally follow the format. By filling in with a pen, writing data is sequentially stored in the storage unit. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, in the agenda input area 10206, “enhancement of work”, “change of room structure”, and “consider manpower in 2 months” are entered as agenda items. The handling of the handwritten data input and stored in this way will be described later.

  FIG. 7 shows an example of a display screen 10601 of the display unit of the client PC 106. As shown in the display screen 10601 of FIG. 7, for example, when a file is created or reloaded to create a report with a PC application, the display screen 10601 of the display unit displays a writing related to the report 10602 in operation. Data 10603 is displayed. As will be described in detail later, when it takes time to input each area of the report 10602 or when the input amount is small, the writing amount in the writing area of the corresponding writing data 10603 displayed is referred to. As a result, when the writing amount is small, instruction data 10604 is displayed on the display screen 10601.

  Next, an example of the operation flow of the information processing system of the present embodiment will be described in detail. The overall flow of the operation flow of the system is shown in the flowcharts of FIGS. In the following description, the steps 13001 to 13004, 14001 to 14004, 15001 to 15008 shown in FIGS. 13 to 15 will be referred to sequentially in order to facilitate understanding of the system operation of the present embodiment.

  When the user completes the specified paper, notebook, or notebook with the digital pen 101 (13001 in FIG. 13), the information management server 104 is activated, and the data transmission / reception program 1040202 in the program storage memory 10402 is activated (13002). ), Pen data is transmitted to the server 104 by inserting the digital pen 101 into the pen data transmission box 105 (13003). In this case, as a function of the digital pen 101, it is needless to say that the pen data transmission box 105 described above need not be used when the server 104 or the client PC 106 has a function capable of transmitting pen data wirelessly. Next, the server 104 and the client PC 106 store the transmitted pen data as handwritten data in a memory or a hard disk as a storage unit (13004).

  FIG. 8A shows an example of the writing trajectory data 1040301 stored in the hard disk 10403 of the server 104 in FIG. 2, and FIG. 8B shows a personal profile 1040302 that associates the digital pen with the user using the digital pen, also stored in the hard disk 10403. An example is shown.

  In the example of FIG. 8A, the information stored in the individual writing trajectory data 1040301 includes a pen ID 801 for identifying a digital pen, a writing coordinate value 802, and a writing time 803. In the example of FIG. 8B, as the information stored in the personal profile 1040302, the name 804, the affiliation / person in charge 805, the pen ID 806, and the DB personal identification number 807 for storing individual data are stored.

  Next, the information management server 104 collates the coordinate value of the writing trajectory data 1040301 stored for each individual in FIG. 8A with the coordinate value of the format data by the writing / format matching program 1040203, and writes the writing data writing area. The writing time written in the area is calculated (13005).

  FIG. 9 shows an example of the structure of digital pen paper format data 1040303 stored in the hard disk 10403. The digital pen paper format data 1040303 includes, for example, name data 901 of a department that uses each format, format number 902, a writing area name 903 constituting each format, area coordinates 904 of each area, and input contents of each area 905 is set. As is clear from the figure, for example, in the format number F00001 in the case of the sales department 1 part 2, there are input areas A001 to A007 as shown in the area name 902. “Date”, “Report topic”, “Agenda (1)”, “Agenda (2)”, “Agenda (3)”, “Summary”, “Impression” are input. As will be explained later, there is also an input area corresponding to the format of personal PC / mobile input data that inputs data other than written data, and by looking at the relationship between both input areas, The content similarity of input data other than writing data can be estimated.

  The information management server 104 collates the coordinate value 802 of the writing data stored in the writing trajectory data 1040301 and the coordinate value 904 of the digital pen paper format data 1040303 by executing the writing / format matching program 1040203 described above. Then, the writing area of the writing data is calculated, and the writing time described in the writing area is calculated using the coordinate passing time 803 of the writing trajectory data 1040301 (13005).

  Each writing data is applied to an existing character recognition program (not shown) set as a subprogram of the writing / format collation program 1040203 for each writing area, and a written word is recognized and extracted. The extracted word is stored in the writing pattern data 1040304 of the hard disk 10403 together with other information as a word in each writing area. As a result of word character recognition, a recognition result having a priority of, for example, the third place is stored as character recognition data (14001 in FIG. 14).

  FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating an example of writing pattern data 1040304 stored in the hard disk 10403 of the information management server 104. As can be seen from the drawing, the writing pattern data 1040304 stores a format number 1001, a data number 1002, an inside / outside area 1003, and a writing pattern 1004. In the case of the example in the figure, the writing pattern 1004 includes an area 1005, a writing amount 1006 indicating the estimated number of characters (WQ), a recognized text candidate 1007, and an overall speed (WT) (seconds: s). In the case of FIG. 10, the case where the area 1005 includes seven areas A001, A002, A003, A004, A005, A006, and A007 is illustrated. It should be noted that the personalized PC / portable input data corresponding to the areas A001 to A007 also have corresponding areas as will be described later with reference to FIG.

  Note that “A001, A002, A003, A004, A005, A006, A007” stored in “outside area” in the inside / outside area 1003 column is written in the area of A001 with the digital pen 101, and there The order of writing (process) is shown, such as going to the area A002 to A002 and writing. This also applies to FIG. 11, which will be described later, and shows input movement between the respective data input areas.

  The information management server 104 can compare the writing situation from the writing data of these individual writing pattern data 1040304 and the input data other than the writing data and estimate the content similarity. Therefore, the information management server 104 first sorts the writing pattern data 1040304 stored in the hard disk 10403 and the data of each application input to the client PC 106 in time series using the process analysis program 1040204 (same 14002). .

  FIG. 11 is a diagram showing an example of PC / mobile phone input data 1040305 stored in the hard disk 10403. As shown in the figure, this data includes an application name 1101, a format name 1102, an input time 1103 indicating its start / end, an area inside / outside 1104 indicating the inside / outside of the area, and input information 1105. The input information 1105 further includes an area 1106, an input character 1107, and an input time indicating the start / end thereof. In this embodiment, the area 1106 includes A001, A002, A003, A004, A005, A006, and A007 corresponding to the area 1005 of the individual handwritten pattern data 1040304 described above.

  The information management server 104 uses the process analysis program 1040204 to extract the input time 1108 to each input area 1106 and the contents of the input information 1105 from the personalized personal computer / mobile input data 1040305. Here, the word information of the input character 1107 is extracted from the text information input to each of the input areas 1106 as input contents. For example, the word information is a noun from the decomposed words using an existing program that can be divided into word levels, such as a morpheme analysis program (not shown) set as a subprogram of the process analysis program 1040204. Extract data. However, this does not apply when a new PC application is started and a new file is created. The above processing is effective when an already created file is stored in the storage unit.

  Here, when the user creates a document / chart file composed of formats or activates a file that has already been created, the information management server 104 reads the input contents of the format area 1106 of the activated document / chart file, The degree of coincidence of the text with the input content of the writing data format area 1005 is calculated (14003). At this time, the threshold value of the text matching level is set to 80%, for example, and data having a matching level of 80% is selected, and the selected data is stored in the PC / portable input data 1040305 as PC input data corresponding to each writing data. (Id. 14004). By this method, it is possible to estimate the content similarity of both data described above.

  At the same time, the PC input data input from the input unit to the application file activated in step 15001 of FIG. 15 is determined for the input area and stored in the memory each time it is input (same 15002). A correlation value quantitatively indicating the content similarity between the character recognition result of the writing data obtained in step 14001 and the PC input data input in step 15002 is calculated each time data is input from the input unit or the like. (Same 15003). Then, when the obtained correlation value is 70%, for example, the written data is displayed on the display screen of the client PC or the like (15004).

  Here, the process analysis program 1040204 refers to the input amount of the writing data when the gap time in the input time in the PC input area is long or when the input amount is small (15005). Furthermore, the optimum process verification program 1040205 is activated to call up the optimum process pattern data 10901 in the optimum process DB 109Note shown in FIG. 12A. Then, with reference to the standard writing amount (number of characters) with respect to the area of the optimum process pattern 1202 in the optimum process pattern data 10901 and the writing time (s) in the optimum time pattern 1203, the input amount and input of writing data The difference from the order is calculated (same 15006).

  Next, the information management server 104 determines that the input amount (PC input amount / writing data amount) is less than 50% of the optimum process, for example, or the input process is not consistent as the calculated difference. If there is no input in the area to be input, the instruction pattern selection program 1040206 is activated. The activated instruction pattern selection program 1040206 selects the corresponding optimum instruction pattern data from the instruction pattern data 10902 shown in FIG. 12B based on the calculated input amount (PC input amount / writing data amount) and the like. (Same 15007). In FIG. 12B, reference numerals 1204 to 1206 denote a format name, a guidance pattern, and a DB number, respectively.

  In selecting the instruction pattern data, the instruction pattern selection program 1040206 refers to the optimum process / instruction pattern correspondence data 10903 in the optimum process DB 109, an example of which is shown in FIG. 12C. For example, when the writing amount is small, the instruction pattern data From 10902, select “Writing the contents of discussion a little more in detail.” Data W01 is selected, and the selected display data is displayed on the display unit of the client PC or mobile terminal / phone by the writing data display program 1040207 (same as above). 15008).

  In FIG. 12C, reference numerals 1207 to 1210 indicate examples of format names, target areas, instruction pattern correspondence standards, and instruction patterns, respectively. In particular, the instruction pattern correspondence standard 1209 includes an individual writing data field and a PC input data field, and the corresponding instruction pattern 1210 is selected according to the amount of data (number of characters, etc.) stored in these fields. For example, when the format name 1207 and the target area are “D001” and “A001” respectively, and the PC input data amount can be input, for example, 200 characters in the area, it ends with 50 characters, and the writing data amount is also the target writing amount. In the case where only 30 characters are written where 100 characters can be written in the area, the guidance pattern is W01 "Let's write the contents of the discussion in more detail."

  The present invention relates to an information input device such as a digital pen and a device that controls information in order to use input information, and is particularly useful as an information processing system that can know a business situation from input information.
