Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Outline] The present invention reads the same slip including securities and the like used in a financial institution with a character reading device and processes it twice or more. Numbering is performed, the processing history of the corresponding slip is stored in a file on the host device side, the numbering is read when the second and subsequent processing is performed, and the processing history corresponding to this numbering is searched from the file. It is a slip processing status confirmation method for confirming and preventing double processing and processing forgetting by collating.

[Industrial application field]

The present invention relates to a read processing method for a slip containing securities and the like used in a financial institution such as a bank, and particularly to a confirmation method for preventing double processing and forgetting to process.

In recent years, with the progress of automation (OA) in financial institutions, etc., character reading devices such as optical type have come to be used for processing slips and securities, and it is said that once processed slips will be printed with authentication at a later date. The usage of processing the same slip multiple times has occurred. Since there is a possibility of forgetting processing or double processing in the processing of a plurality of times, there is a demand for a reading processing method for preventing these.

[Conventional technology]

Data processing devices that automatically read securities and transfer slips for data processing have become popular with banks and other financial institutions along with OA. This data processing device analyzes the written characters and reads the written characters with an optical character reader (hereinafter referred to as an OCR device), and based on the slip data transmitted from this OCR device, It is often composed of a higher-level device (host computer) that executes processing. This slip processing method is such that the OCR device prints the numbering such as the serial number indicating the processing order on the slip as an authentication mark for processing the slip.
In many cases, only the recognition data of the slip is transmitted to the host device and the post-processing is performed by the host device. This conventional slip data processing method is a turnaround method, and when a slip is once input processed by the OCR device, the processing contents of the data stored in the file of the host device are deleted. . In the past, it was extremely rare to reprocess the same voucher at a later date, and no particular obstacle occurred even with this data processing method.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

However, at the present time when automation is progressing in financial institutions and the like, there are problems that cannot be solved by conventional data processing methods. That is, a method of processing a plurality of times has been adopted, such as printing an authentication print or the like on a slip that has been processed once. For example, the first time is a window process of a bank or the like, and the second time is a process of summarizing or tabulating such slips. With respect to bills and bills, the approval process is not completed only by the window processing, and later, it is stored and sorted to its own store, other stores, other banks, etc., and only the own store needs processing to print the approved printout etc. It is said that In such a situation, it is impossible to judge the processing history of this slip at the time of reprocessing the slip at a later date by the conventional method of simply numbering on the slip, and the double processing is performed. There is a risk that you may forget to process the slips.

The present invention is intended to solve the above problems,
An object of the present invention is to provide double processing of slips, double processing in which processing forgetting does not occur, and a confirmation method for preventing processing forgetting even when processing the same slip multiple times.

[Means for solving problems]

FIG. 1 is a block diagram for explaining the principle and embodiment of the present invention.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a slip processing apparatus for processing a slip 1 with numbering on the slip 1 and printing means 9 and 13 for printing either or both of characters indicating the end of processing. Reading means 1 that reads as necessary and sends data corresponding to this numbering
0, 11 and the inserted slip 1 are printed means 9, 13 and read means
The transport means 8 and 15 for transporting between 10 and 11 and the processing history data corresponding to the numbering are stored every time the processing is performed on the slip 1, and the processing history corresponding to the corresponding numbering is searched while searching based on the numbering. File means 3 and 20 for confirming whether or not the relevant slip 1 is stored by data, and processing history data are created based on the corresponding data, and at the same time, the corresponding data and processing history data are filed. It is sent to 3, 20 and it is determined whether or not there is numbering in the slip 1, and if there is no numbering, numbering is performed, and if there is numbering, a new numbering or the end of processing is printed respectively.
The control unit 4 for instructing the above is provided.

The character reading device is not limited to the OCR device, and may be another character reading device such as a MICR device (magnetic ink character reading device).

[Work]

With the above configuration, when the same slip is processed for the second time and thereafter, the processing history is referred to and collated and post-processed with the numbering given in the first processing as a so-called keyword, so double processing or forgetting to process is avoided. Can be prevented. Further, since the processing history can be easily viewed on the CRT screen of the host device, it is possible to understand the numbering of the unprocessed slip and prevent forgetting to process.

〔Example〕

 The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to examples and drawings.

First, the configuration will be described. FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a data processing device for explaining an embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 1, a data processing device to which the present invention is applied is an optical character reading device which is an example of a character reading device capable of performing a numbering on a voucher such as securities and an account transfer voucher and reading the numbering. It has an I (hereinafter referred to as an OCR device) and a host device II for processing the data of the slip transmitted from the OCR device I. The OCR device I includes a processor (hereinafter referred to as a CPU) 4 that controls all internal control units, a ROM in which an operation program of the CPU 4 is written, and a RAM that stores various data in the process of processing various data. Configured memory 5
And a line control unit 6 for transmitting data to and from the host device II. Further, the OCR device I is a conveyance control unit 8 that controls the motor 15 that performs the conveyance operation of the slip 1, and a stamp unit that prints a horizontal line stamp indicating the handling financial institution on the slip 1.
A stamp control unit 7 for controlling 12 and a printer control unit 9 for controlling a printer 13 which is a printing unit for numbering the slip 1 are provided. Furthermore, this OCR
The device I is an image sensor 14 (hereinafter referred to as CCD) that uses a charge-coupled device or the like that converts an optical image of a printed character described on the slip 1 into an electric signal, and image data by the electric signal from the CCD 14. And a recognition unit 10 that recognizes the read contents (characters) from this image data and creates a character code and the like. CP
The U4 receives the recognition result from the recognition unit 10 and instructs the numbering, and transmits the read content to the host device II.

The host device II is a processor (hereinafter CPU) 17 for controlling internal equipment and transmission protocol control, the OCR
Consists of a line control unit 18 connected to the line control unit 6 of the device I via the communication line 2, a ROM in which the operation program of the host device II is written, and a RAM for storing data in the data processing process. And a memory 19 that is stored. Further, the host device II is used for storing a file 3 for storing the processing history data of the slip 1, a file control unit 20 for controlling reading and writing of the file 3, and inputting data and commands required from the outside. It has a keyboard 22. Furthermore, this upper device
The II has a CRT 21 for displaying data such as a processing history, and a line control unit 23 for controlling data transmission with a topmost device (not shown) on the center side.

The operation of the data processing device configured as described above will be described. First, when the slip 1 is inserted into the OCR device I as indicated by an arrow, the CPU 4 detects that the slip 1 has been inserted through an appropriate slip detecting means (not shown), and the motor via the conveyance control unit 8 is detected. Operate 15 The operation of the motor 15 causes the roller 16
Is rotated and the slip 1 is conveyed to the inside of the OCR device I and temporarily stopped near the lower part of the CCD 14. The CCD 14 reads the entry area, which is the numbering printing area of the slip 1, and outputs an electric signal as a pixel signal at that time to the reader 11. leader
11 amplifies and discriminates this pixel signal to create image data, and sends it to the recognition unit 10. The CPU 4 receives the data from the recognition unit 10 and determines whether or not the slip 1 is numbered, and the data at that time is transferred to the line control units 6, 18
And to the host device II via the communication line 2. At this time, when the slip 4 does not have the numbering, the CPU 4 of the OCR device 1 applies the numbering corresponding to the type and processing contents of the slip 1 to the entry area of the slip 1. The printing of the numbering of the slip 1 is performed by the printer 13 controlled by the printer controller 9. Upon receiving the data that the slip 1 has no numbering, the host device II stores and stores in the file 3 the processing history data indicating that the first processing corresponding to the numbering of the lead slip 1 has been performed. The processing history data is stored and stored in the file 3 via the file control unit 20.
Even if the slip 1 is to be processed for the first time, if the slip 1 is not to be processed again, there is no need to store and store the processing history data in the file 3, and an answer back signal indicating the end of processing is sent to the OCR device. Reply to I printer 1
It is also possible to print the certified print that has been approved by 3. Printing by the printer 13 is also controlled via the printer controller.

For the slip 1 which has been numbered, the read data corresponding to this numbering is recorded in the OCR device I.
It is transmitted to the higher-level device II. File 3 for host device II
In order to access and to check how far the slip 1 has been processed in the past, a search for the processing history data corresponding to this numbering is started. This processing history data retrieval is performed using the numbering as a keyword for the processing history data stored and stored in the file 3 via the file control unit 20. If this processing history data is the same as the instructed processing instruction data, it has not been reprocessed because it has already been processed in the past. In addition, processing instruction data and file 3
If the processing history data is different from the processing history data, the processing of the slip 1 according to the processing instruction data is performed, and if the processing is completed, the character indicating that the processing is completed is printed by the printer 13. For the slip 1 that needs to be processed again at this point, new processing history data is added to the file 3 for storage and storage. If necessary, the OCR device I may print the numbering corresponding to the additional processing history data on the slip 1 and use it as the keyword for the third and subsequent times. In addition, when the end-of-sale slips are processed, the end-of-end processing status can be automatically displayed on the CRT 21 in a collective manner to warn the operator of the end-of-end processing status. Keyboard 22 of course
It is also possible to display a processing history of all or end-processing slips by giving a command from, and it is possible to easily know the numbering of end-processing slips.

FIG. 2 is a flow chart showing the operation of this system. First, when the slip 1 is inserted into the OCR device I, the data in the entry area is read via the CCD 14. Where the reader 11
And, when the CPU 4 "recognizes the entry area of the slip" through the recognition unit 10 and detects that the numbering is not printed in the entry area, data indicating that it is the first ("first time") processing slip 1 Is sent to the host device II. The higher-level device II mentioned here is a higher-level device on the terminal side, but it is also possible to use the highest-level device on the center side. Host device
The II stores “processing history data” in the file 3 corresponding to the processing content applied to the slip 1. At this time, the OCR device I "numbers the slips", but the numbering of this slip 1 may be performed by the OCR device I by managing the serial number, or the top device or host device of the center.
You may give management instructions from II. If necessary, if the slip 1 is a bill, etc.
A horizontal line stamp is stamped via 12 and stored, and the process proceeds to the "second time onward" process.

When the slip 1 that has been processed once and numbered is inserted into the OCR device I in the “second and subsequent” slip processing, the CPU 4
Recognizes the numbering on the slip via the CCD 14, the reader 11 and the recognition unit 10, and the data corresponding to this numbering is transmitted from the OCR device I to the host device II. Host device II
Searches the file 3 based on the received data and reads the processing history data corresponding to this data. Then, it is determined whether or not the processing instruction data currently instructed this time has "a processing history". Next, when the processing instruction data instructed this time is “present” in the past processing history, the higher-level device II ignores the processing instruction data and sets the processing instruction data in the past processing history. If "no", the slip processing (so-called post-processing) is performed as instructed, and the OCR device performs "authentication printing (approved) etc." based on the instruction from the host device II. At this time, if there is a necessary process on the center side, parallel processing is performed by the highest-level device on the center side. With the above, a series of operations is “ended”.

In the present embodiment, a financial institution is taken as an example, but the application is not limited to this, and it is needless to say that the present invention can be applied to a general department that handles slips (including cards for entrance / exit management).

〔The invention's effect〕

As is clear from the above description, in the slip processing status confirmation method of the present invention, the slips are numbered, the processing history data corresponding to the numbering is stored in the file of the host device, and the file is stored when the slips are processed for the second time and thereafter. Since it has a function to read this processing history data and determine whether the slip has been processed in the past,
Do not double process the same slip. The present invention also
Since the processing history can be displayed on the CRT screen and the like to easily know the numbering of the final processing, it is possible to prevent forgetting the processing.
