The outline of the operation of the present embodiment configured as described above will be described below. First, as shown in procedure A of FIG. 3, a procedure of creating a slip on the center side will be described. To create a voucher, a style original image based on the voucher as illustrated in FIG. 4 is input as image information by a facsimile or the like and displayed on the liquid crystal display 2-1. Next, a part of the displayed style in which numbers and characters are desired to be written is opened with a handwriting pen 2-3. For this frame opening, for example, the method previously proposed by the present applicant in Japanese Patent Application No. 4-36079 "Image / character conversion method" can be used. In this method, first, a point corresponding to the upper left of the frame is touched with a pen, and then a portion corresponding to the lower right of the frame is touched with a pen to open the frame as a quadrangle having these two points as diagonal lines. By repeating this operation, a voucher framed in the original style image is created. At this time, a plurality of styles (image information) and frames (data information) may exist, so it is necessary to identify them.

For example, the style is managed in alphabetical form such as A, B, C, ... And the frame is managed in the order of 01, 02, 03 ,. The frame position information is the origin (0, 0) at the upper left of the entire screen, and the liquid crystal display 2-1 at the lower right.
If the coordinate value corresponding to the dot position of the display 2-1 represented by the X axis (horizontal direction) and the Y axis (vertical direction) is used as the effective dot number of (for example, (640,480)), another frame Can be identified as A specific example of this is shown in FIG.
That is, the created slip format is managed and stored in a format of image information (format) + data information (code information: format number + frame information) for each page, as shown in FIG. 8A. Further, the frame that has been vacated is not only managed and stored as frame information, but also registered as image information at that position by the image conversion unit 2-16. Next, as shown in steps B and C shown in FIG. 3, the center terminal 1-5 created in step A is created.
A procedure for distributing the slip format stored in the terminal to the terminals 1-4 on the terminal group side will be described.

First, after a communication path is formed between the two terminals, which are called from the terminal 1-4 and made to arrive at the center side terminal 1-5 (above, procedure B), a bill form is requested from the terminal 1-4. Send a signal to This signal is a signal for distinguishing normal communication from slip communication according to the present invention. For example, using the PB signal: a signal requesting the setting of a dedicated procedure for performing slip communication, and: It is expressed by a signal that designates a form communication mode called form request. Based on this PB signal, the terminals 1-4 and 1-5 determine the facsimile communication control unit 2
-9 is set as a dedicated procedure, and the slip format is transmitted (distributed) from the terminal 1-5 to the terminal 1-4 (above, procedure C). As described above, the voucher format consists of image information and data information. Therefore, only the image information can be sent by the normal facsimile communication (T.30 procedure), but the terminal according to the present embodiment. As described above, the facsimile communication control unit 2-9 of FIG. 7 has a dedicated procedure (in the frame of a broken line) as shown in FIG. 7 in addition to the T.30 procedure, so the image information + data information uses this dedicated procedure. And then sent.

In the T.30 procedure, a non-standard function (NSF) is set as an optional signal to identify a request of a specific user who is outside the range of the T series recommendation, that is, HDL.
A function is provided to set the C information field to non-standard. The dedicated procedure shown in Fig. 7 uses this, and the data information sets the HDLC information field to non-standard, and in the T.30 procedure, data is transmitted in place of information related to communication such as communication speed and model of facsimile communication. It is intended to carry information. Here, the image information is communicated according to the normal T.30 procedure, and further, when the data information and the image information are independent or mixed, or even when these information are plural pages. A signal indicating the presence / absence of a “data communication request” and a signal indicating the presence / absence of an “image communication request” so that the data can be repeatedly transmitted.
This is a combination with a signal indicating the presence or absence of a "disconnection request". In order to put the data information in the above-mentioned HDLC information field, the bit position, the order, the expression format, and the meaning to put the data information may be determined in advance between the terminals 1-4 and 1-5.

The voting form (image information + data information) sent from the terminal 1-5 is stored in the storage unit 2-12 at the terminal 1-4. Next, as shown in procedure D of FIG. 3, a procedure for filling in a slip at the terminal 1-4 on the terminal group side will be described. As shown in FIG. 5, the slip format sent from the center side terminal 1-5 is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 2-1 and then the frame into which numbers and characters are to be input is designated by the handwriting pen 2-3. When the user points at somewhere within the frame represented by the rectangle, the frame is shown in black and white (see FIG. 5 (a)), and then a window for inputting numbers and characters is displayed (FIG. 5). (See (b)).
In this window, point the numbers you want to write in that frame with the handwriting pen 2-3 one after another, in the same way as you would for typewriting.
Finally, when the "IN" key indicating registration is pointed, the designated numbers and characters are displayed in the frame (Fig. 5 (c).
reference). By entering the above-mentioned slip, the data of the slip is shown in FIG.
Image information (style) + data information as shown in (b)
Management in the form of (form number + frame information + character information in frame)
Be stored.

At this time, the numbers entered in the frame
The character information is displayed at the frame position by the image conversion unit 2-16.
It is also converted and registered as image information. By repeating this operation, numbers and letters are put in the respective frames to create a completed slip. Next, the procedure of sending the completed slips to the center shown in steps B and E of FIG. 3 will be described. Similar to the bill form request, after the communication path is formed by the procedure B, as in the process at the beginning of the above-mentioned procedure C, a dedicated procedure setting request signal for slip communication and a mode designation signal for the slip communication (in this case, , Slip processing request) are represented by PB signals. When the center side terminal 1-5 recognizes this signal, it returns a response signal to the terminal 1-4 and
Send a slip processing instruction signal to the personal computer 1-7 connected to the terminal 1-5. When the terminal 1-4 receives the response signal, the form number + frame information + character information in the frame among the information on the completed slips (see FIG. 8 (b)) is the phase B of the dedicated procedure shown in FIG. Then, it is placed in the HDLC information field and transmitted. In FIG. 8B, the image information is not transmitted because the data is known at the center side terminal 1-5 which is the delivery source. When the center side terminal 1-5 receives this signal, the center side terminal 1-5 determines whether or not it should be processed based on the form number and frame position information, and if it is the processing target data, transfers it to the personal computer 1-7.

The personal computer 1-7 incorporates, for example, a logical formula for specifically processing a slip. In the example of the slip shown in FIG. 5C, whether or not each of beer and sake is in stock has a built-in logical formula: beer price × number of sake + sake price × number of sake = total amount. As described above, since the frame and the information within the frame can be identified even if there are a plurality of them, it is possible to freely create and process a logical expression even in the case of other processing and other slips. When the processing on the personal computer 1-7 is completed, the result is sent to the terminal 1-5. Terminal 1-5
In this case, an order form for reply is prepared and prepared in advance by the same procedure as the procedure A of FIG. The order form is shown in Figure 6.
As shown in (a), similar to the order form described above, a plurality of frames are provided so that mixed information of image information and data information can be stored. The processing result sent from the personal computer 1-7 is converted into an image by the image conversion unit 2-16 at the corresponding frame position.
(See FIG. 6B), which is returned to the terminal 1-4. Since the order form needs only the image information, it is transmitted to the other party by the procedure of transmitting the image information in the exclusive procedure of FIG.

According to the above embodiment, the terminal 1-4 on the terminal group side
Then, it becomes possible to directly know the processing result of the slip in one communication call. In the slip processing shown in the above embodiment, it is important to take security measures so that the third party does not misuse it. This will be described below. Security measures are as follows: (1): In the above embodiment, when the communication path is formed and the slip communication is started, the PB signal is used for the setting request of the dedicated procedure and the mode specification of the slip communication. If the signal has multiple digits, it can be prevented from being abused by a third party who does not know this number. (2): When creating a slip, as shown in FIG. 4B, the frame information is such that one frame is represented by four dot coordinate values, and
Since one dot position is composed of at least three-digit numbers, it is extremely unlikely that the same position, that is, all of the 3 × 4 = 12-digit numbers can be framed so as to match. Therefore, when sending a completed slip, by changing the form information of the slip and the frame information together with the frame information, the terminal on the center side compares this with the frame information of the slip distributed by itself, and Abuse from can be eliminated.

(3): Further, if necessary, the personal identification number preset for each individual is also transmitted when transmitting the completed slip, and after collating the personal identification number in the processing on the center side. It is also possible to perform processing. In addition, the above embodiment shows an example of the present invention,
It goes without saying that the present invention should not be limited to this. For example, (1): In the above description, the terminals 1-4 in the terminal group 1-2,
The example in which the terminal 1-5 in the center side 1-3 has the same configuration has been shown, but whether or not these have the same configuration, and the terminal 1-5 and the interface box 1 in the center side 1-3 are shown.
Whether or not -6 and 6 are integrated can be changed in design. (2): Further, in the above description, the case where the slip group is distributed from the terminal group 1-2 side is shown, but this is also the case when the call is sent from the center side 1-3. It goes without saying that the same can be realized. (3): Further, in the above description, the case where the slip processing is performed using the frame information and the character information in the frame is shown, but this is also an image of the handwritten character which is another characteristic of the slips. Converted to image information by the converter 2-16,
It is possible to communicate as image information by facsimile communication.

(4) In the above explanation, when the completed slip is sent from the terminal 1-4, the format information and the frame information are checked at the terminal 1-5 on the center side 1-3, and the inside of the frame is checked. Although the method of processing information on the personal computer 1-7 has been described, it goes without saying that the personal computer 1-7 can also process check of the form number and frame information. (5): In the above description, the center side 1-3 distributes the "framed style" consisting of image information + data information,
Although the example in which only the data information is transmitted from the terminal side 1-2 and the order receipt (image information) is received as a result has been described, in the slip communication device or the slip communication system according to the present invention, the image information and the data information are received. And mix
Alternatively, since individual information can be transmitted and received, respectively, contrary to the above, mixed information of image information and data information is sent from the terminal side 1-2 and only the day information or the image information is sent from the center side 1-3. Such as returning mixed information of data information,
Various modifications are possible. (6): Also, in the procedure shown in FIG. 5, the case where only numbers are input as the character information for entering the slip has been described, but as shown in FIG. It is also possible to prepare a symbol or the like so that it can be identified by the number / character collating unit 2-18 and perform the slip processing using the character information other than the number.

(7): Although the communication speed of the phase B for transmitting the code information shown in the above-mentioned embodiment is as low as 300 bps, in the communication device for a slip or the communication system for a slip according to the present invention, It is fast enough to send information and in-frame information. Etc. As the applications of the technology according to the present invention, as shown in FIG. 10, the document or page (image), the number and indexes of the document or page for recognition, whether 90 ⁰ rolling pages, date Even if such information is attached, using the dedicated procedure shown in FIG. 7, (1): For the attached information about the document, send the attached information about the document in Phase B (for data information), and then , Phase C is repeated to send the document entity as many as the number of pages. (2) For the auxiliary information about the page, the additional information about the page is sent at Phase B, and then the document entity at Phase C is sent. And the operation of this phase B and phase C,
You can send it by repeating a few pages.
In addition, according to this technology, these documents and pages (images) can be sent together with these attached information (data information), so in remote locations, remote search for receiving documents with attached information that is convenient for searching, E-mail etc. can be provided easily.

As described above in detail, according to the present invention, it is possible to realize a slip processing apparatus capable of automatically processing slips and a communication system using the slip processing apparatus. . More specifically, (1): the form of the voucher is handled as image information that is easy to input and has no restrictions on the type of handling, so any voucher can be easily created. (2): Voucher Since the information to be processed in (1) is communicated as data information which is a combination of frame information and in-frame information using a handwriting pen, it is possible to process slips accurately and promptly (3): In the dedicated procedure for communicating information in which image information and data information are mixed, the normal facsimile communication modem is used, so that the load on hardware and software is small and the image information is the same as facsimile communication. It is possible to communicate at high speed, and it is also possible to communicate data information accurately. Using a general analog line, it is cheap and accurate without using handwriting recognition technology. ,
