Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Purpose] To reduce the number of erroneous entries in responses to data in a three-fold mail form, and to ensure speed and accuracy by mechanically aggregating responses. [Structure] A reply postcard (m) with an OCR input field (d) is placed in the central compartment (a) of the trifold mail form at cutout lines (3'), (4'), (5) (6).
At the same time, in one compartment (c) on both sides, there is a data part (e) for filling in the OCR input field (d), and in the other compartment (a), there is a mailing address field ( f), and the paper is folded into three in a Z-shape with the OCR input field (d) facing inside. [Effects] When mail forms are sent, the OCR input fields are on the inside, so they are not damaged, and when responding to data, the OCR input fields and data fields are on the same side, so there is no chance of mistakes. There is only a small amount of information to fill out, and responses can be compiled quickly and accurately by machine reading.

Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea]

0001

[Industrial application field]

This invention is a three-fold mail form with a reply postcard and an OCR entry field. It is related to.

0002

[Conventional technology]

In traditional tri-fold email forms, responses to a survey are simply For example, mark ○× in the answer column of the reply postcard.

0003

[Problem that the idea aims to solve]

However, as in the past, you can write marks such as ○× in the answer column of the reply postcard. In some cases, the responses must be compiled manually. Therefore, not only does this work take time, but there is also the risk of errors in the tabulated results. there were. This invention was devised in view of these points, and its purpose is to , the efficiency is improved by mechanically tallying the responses written on reply postcards. At the same time, we aim to improve the accuracy of the results.

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to achieve the above purpose, in this invention, on the reply side of the reply postcard, The problem is solved by providing an input field for OCR. In other words, the present invention provides a three-fold mail form in which the center section of the unfolded paper sheet is The reply postcard is divided with tear lines, and the reply postcard is On the answer side, there is an input field for OCR, and in one compartment on both sides. The data for entry in the above OCR input field is in the other section, Each item has an address column for shipping.

【Example】 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described based on the drawings. The three-fold mail form (A) of this invention is printed on both sides of a strip of paper. The pinholes (1) and (1’) on both sides make the pin tractor more printed. It is sent out and cut into units. This mail form (A) has perforations to fold it into three as shown in Figure 1. It is divided into (a), (b), and (c) by the broken lines (2) and (2'), and , perforations (3) and (3') for opening are provided along the upper and lower edges. Moreover, FIG. 2 is a back view of FIG. The partitions on the back surface are (a1), (b1), and (c1). The partitions (a), (b), and (c) on the above surface are centered around the central partition (b). The side compartment (a) and the back compartment (c) are Z-folded, but the front compartment (a) ) and the central compartment (b) are opened on both sides around the perforation fold line (2). The perforation lines (4) and (4') are also pinholes (1') on the back side section (c). There are also opening perforations (4”) on each side. Thin lines (4), (4’), and (4”) are so that their positions are aligned with each other when Z-folded. This is what we do. In the central compartment (b), there are cutouts at the opening perforations (3') and (4'). perforation lines (5) and (6) are provided, and these perforation lines (4') and (3 ’), (6), and (5) constitute the reply postcard (m), and the part surrounded by The blank side is the answer entry side (b'). Furthermore, the center compartment (b) and the back compartment (c) have opening perforations (3 ), (4'), (3'), (4"), these three compartments (a), (b) , (c) for sealing when Z-folded (7), (8), (9), ( 10), (7'), (8'), (9'), and (10') are provided. Such an adhesive part is attached to the back surface (b1) of the central section (b) and the front section (a). , (a1) are also provided. Answer entry surface (b’) constituting the reply postcard (m) in the central compartment (b) There is a checkerboard-shaped OCR input field (d), and the back section (c) has this field. Data (e) to be entered in the entry field (d) is printed. Furthermore, in the front compartment (a), there is an address for shipping the tri-fold mail form (A). (f), sender (g), etc. are printed. In addition, on the return postcard (m) side of the back (b1) of the central compartment (b), there is a The recipient's address (h) is printed, and a column (i) is provided for the sender, who is the respondent. In addition, on the back side (a1) of the front section (a) of the trifold mail form (A), , explanations, precautions, etc. (j), and advertisements on the back side (c1) of the back compartment (c). Term etc. (k) is printed.

[0006] Does the trifold mail form (A) of this invention have the above structure? When using the issuer, the issuer shall center the central compartment (b), the front compartment (a) and The back side section (c) was folded in a Z direction and provided in the center section (b) and the back side section (c). Adhesive parts (7), (7'), (8), (8'), (9), (9'), (10), ( 10'), the center section (b), and the back side (b1) and (a1) of the front section (a). Seal it with the similar adhesive part provided, and make the protruding pinholes (1) and (1) on both sides. ’) will be cut off before shipping. In reality, printing, folding, gluing, and cutting are all done by machine. Ru. If the recipient side opens the front section (a) of the trifold mail form (A), perforation line (4) [perforation line (4') of center section (b) and back section section ( The perforation line (4”) in c) matches the perforation line (4)] and the opening mark. Separate from the thin line (3), (3') and open. For respondents on the receiving side, answer writing surface (b’) in the open center section (b) In the OCR input field (d), enter the data (e) on the back side section (c). Write down your answers using the standardized OCR symbols and characters. Next, separate the answer entry surface (b') from the perforations (5) and (6). Then, as a reply postcard (m), write the respondent's name in the sender's field (i). ,Reply. The recipient of the response reply postcard (m) will be able to machine-read this postcard (m). When processing the data (e) entered in the OCR input field (d), Read the answers and tally them.

[Effect of the idea]

This invention provides an OCR input field in the center section of the trifold mail form. Divide the digit reply postcard into sections along the tear lines, and also divide one of the sections on both sides. Enter the data to be entered in the OCR input field in one section, and the address field in another section. Since they are provided separately, please enter the email form with the OCR input field inside. By folding the paper in thirds, you can prevent damage to the entry field and also keep the recipient safe. So, open this and write the answer to the data in the OCR input field. Fill in the information using OCR characters and symbols, then separate the reply postcard and send it back. The entry field and data section are on the same side, which helps reduce errors when filling out information. I can do that. The recipient of the reply postcard can simply run it into a reader and receive an immediate response. Since the information is read by the computer and organized and tabulated, it is extremely efficient compared to previous manual aggregation. It can be done quickly and accurately.
