Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a seal stamp inquiry / registration system, and more particularly to a structure for performing an initial registration operation of seal stamp image data.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In general, for a seal stamp inquiry registration operation in a financial institution such as a bank, only a registration machine is installed and operated by this registration machine. On the other hand, the initial registration work at the time of the introduction of the seal registration inquiry registration system requires the registration of seal stamps of tens of thousands of accounts held by the bank, so an extension registration machine is connected and multiple registration machines are used. By doing so, the work period is shortened.

[0003]

However, in the configuration of the initial registration work as described above, although a plurality of registration machines are used, each registration machine reads one seal stamp with an image scanner, and , They were registered one by one using a terminal for registration. Therefore, in such initial registration work, it takes about 1 minute on average to register one seal stamp, and when registering a seal stamp of tens of thousands of bank accounts, enormous registration time and registration cost are required. There was a problem that it took a lot of time. From this point of view, the seal registration reference system can be improved by improving the initial registration work at the time of introducing the seal reference registration system, reducing initial registration cost and shortening the initial registration period, and promoting the introduction of the seal reference registration system. Has been desired.

[0004]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the seal reference registration system of the present invention has a plurality of scanner control terminals different from those of an image scanner which collectively reads a plurality of seal stamps. A reading instruction is given by specifying the reading density. Then, the image data of the seal stamp acquired by the scanner control terminal is stored in the server, and this image data is taken out by an image editing terminal which performs a parallel processing with the reading processing of the seal stamp by the image scanner to edit the image. Further, the registration machine registers the image of the seal stamp edited by the image editing terminal as seal inquiry data.

[0005]

In the seal stamp inquiry / registration system of the present invention, first, when the image scanner receives a reading instruction of a plurality of different reading densities for each seal stamp from the scanner control terminal, it collectively reads a plurality of seal stamps. To do. Next, the scanner control terminal stores the image data read by the image scanner in the server. The image editing terminal performs parallel processing with reading processing of the seal stamp by the image scanner, extracts image data of the seal stamp from the server, and edits the image. The registration machine registers the image data edited by the image editing terminal as the seal stamp inquiry data.

As described above, in the second embodiment, the image data of the seal stamp is read by the sales office, the image data is stored in the image data recording medium, and the image data is sent to the district center. Data is stored in the server 5, edited by the image editing terminal 3, and
Since the registration process is performed, there is no need to create a copy of the seal stamp that the store has and to send the original seal stamp to the district center, reducing the burden on the store side for seal registration work. can do.

As described above, according to the first and second embodiments,
It has the following effects. Since the high-speed image scanner 1 that collectively reads a plurality of seal stamps is used, it is possible to reduce the time required to read the seal stamp image. Since the image reading of the seal stamp and the image data extraction of the seal stamp portion and the signature portion can be performed in parallel, the initial registration work time can be shortened. Since a plurality of image editing terminals 3 are connected, the image editing time, which requires the most time for the initial registration work, can be shortened. By shortening the initial registration work time of the above items (1) and (2), it is possible to reduce the cost for the initial registration work. After the initial registration work is completed, the equipment brought to the sales office or district center will be removed, but this initial registration work can be completed in a short period of time, which makes it possible to keep the cost of using the equipment low. For example, the initial registration work can be a serviceware product. Since the cost required for the initial registration work can be reduced, the cost for introducing the seal stamp inquiry registration system can be kept low, and therefore the introduction of the seal stamp inquiry registration system can be promoted.

In each of the above embodiments, the case where the seal stamp reference registration system is introduced into a financial institution such as a bank has been described, but the present invention is not limited to such an application, and a large amount of seal stamp initial registration work is performed. The configuration is also applicable in the same manner.
