Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent from generating an input miss by attaching a different color code which can identify a data fetching start position and an end position, respectively in a data group. CONSTITUTION:For fetching data, a part to be fetched a document data group is marked in advance, and the mark is an identifying code which is different color at the both positions of a data input fetching start position and an end position. The identifying code is fetched in with the data with a color detectable scanning type scanner 11. A discriminating means 12 discriminates the data input fetching start position and the end position, which are different in color, from the fetched data. Then, only the data between the discriminated identifying codes are code-converted and are operated with an operating means 13, and the operating output is supplied to a data input device 14. Thus, only the necessary data can be inputted accurate, and a retrieval input miss can be prevented without enlarging memory capacity.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] A. Industrial application field The present invention relates to a data reading device.

B2 Summary of the Invention This invention is a data reading device that can read only necessary data, in which the data to be read is preliminarily given an identification code by color, etc., and the data and the identification code are detected by a scanner. However, by determining the identification code and converting only the data between the codes to perform calculations, it is no longer necessary to input unnecessary data, reducing the search time for the input data. Not only can the process be shortened, but the memory capacity can also be reduced, and input errors can be avoided.

C3 Conventional technology Conventionally, the construction of data that can be searched by a computer is
Input was limited to the keyboard. However, recently,
Devices have been developed that can capture text as image information, convert it into code, and store it as data. This kind of device is disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. 62-25619, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 62-269272, and Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 61-27108.
There are publications such as No. 9.

These methods are very easy to use manually and have the advantage of being able to input Okawa's character information in a short period of time. This type of input means includes (a) a scanning type scanner;
There are two methods: (1) manually inputting all pages, and (b) inputting by tracing the required characters with a pen-type scanner.

4. Problems to be Solved by the Invention of 1991 In the above-mentioned manual method, in case (a), even unnecessary characters are manually created, resulting in a large amount of accumulated data. Therefore, there is a problem in that it takes an extremely long time to search the accumulated data and obtain predetermined data. Furthermore, as the amount of stored data increases, the problem arises that the memory capacity also increases accordingly. To solve these problems, all you have to do is delete unnecessary data. However, in order to do so, it is extremely inefficient because the data must be manually displayed on the CRT screen and then deleted. Furthermore, if there is any dirt (for example, underline, etc.) on the document, there is a problem in that this dirt is also captured as data.

In case (b) of the above-mentioned manual method, although it has the advantage of being able to manually generate only the necessary data, there is a problem in that it is prone to human errors in operation.

91 Means for Solving the Problems This invention adds codes of different colors to each data group so that the data acquisition start position and end position can be identified,
A color-detectable scanning scanner that captures data together with different colored identification codes when capturing data from the data group; and means for determining different colored identification codes from the data captured by the scanning scanner;
The apparatus is equipped with a means for code-converting and calculating data between identification codes of different colors discriminated by the discriminating means, and a device for manually inputting the data obtained by the arithmetic means.

F Before importing action data, mark which parts you want to import into the sentence and town data group in advance.

These marks are the start and end positions of manual data import, and identification codes of different colors are attached to both positions.

This identification code is scanned into the data using a color-detectable scanner. From the captured data, the manual capture start position and end position of data with different colors are determined. Then, only the data between the determined identification codes is code-converted and calculated, and the calculation output is provided to the data human-powered device.

G. Example An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In the drawing, reference numeral 11 denotes a color-detectable scanning scanner, and this scanning scanner 11 is color-coded to identify the document data as well as the starting position and end Y position of data attached to the Bunshi data. Import the sign. For example, a red mark is attached to the start position of data manual input, and a yellow mark is attached to the end position. In addition, a first non-ji mark is attached to unnecessary data locations.

The data captured by the scanning scanner II and the colored identification code are input to a CPU capable of color identification. This CP (-J consists of a color identification code discriminating means 12 and a calculating means!3, and the color identification code at the start position and end position of data manual input is input to the discrimination means I2. The codes of the capture start position and end position are determined, and only the data between the codes is input to the calculation means 13.The calculation means 13 converts the input data into codes and performs calculations, and the calculation output is sent to the data input device. Give it to 14.

To import data using the above-mentioned 11-inch scanner 11, a color mark is placed on the surface of the vehicle where the document data is read and where it is desired to be input. For example, while reading the data, noting that most of the data is "black", use a highlighter or the like to place a red mark at the data input capture start position and a yellow mark at the data input capture end position. Also, if there is an unnecessary part in the data between which this mark is attached, an orange mark is attached thereto. Here, data capture using the scanning scanner 11 is started.

When the determining means 11 determines that the mark has been detected during this data acquisition, the data between the marks is input to the calculating means 13, and the data at unnecessary portions is deleted.

The manually entered data is converted into codes, calculated, and input into the input device 14.

[1] Effects of the Invention As described above, according to the present invention, only necessary data can be inputted accurately, so search input errors can be prevented without increasing the memory capacity. Also,
When inputting data manually, it is only necessary to add an identification code when it is read, which saves the total input work.
