FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram of processing items of the seal stamp registration system having the above configuration. Further, FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram of operation in the seal stamp registration system. First, the seal stamp is taken out from the seal stamp and set in the image scanner 1. Here, in the present embodiment, the image scanner 1 can perform batch automatic reading of a plurality of seal stamps.
A plurality of seal stamps are set in the image scanner 1, such as 0 sheet unit. Next, the image scanner 1
The entire image of the seal stamp is read in multi-values, and the multi-valued image data is extracted by the scanner control terminal 2 from the region and the seal imprint / signature part, and further subjected to optimum binarization processing such as partial emphasis. This is stored in the terminal disk 21 of the scanner control terminal 2 and displayed on the screen. Then, the operator of the scanner control terminal 2 determines (confirms) the density and the cutout position on this screen.

FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram of the density / cutout position determination screen. While looking at this screen, the operator of the scanner control terminal 2 finds that the binarized signature field and the imprint area
If the binarized data result is good, the binarized data is stored in the server disk 31. On the other hand, if there is an excess or deficiency in the density of the imprint image or a defect in the cutout position, rescanning of the multivalued data on the memory is performed, and the binarized data that meets certain criteria is stored in the server disk 31.

After that, the account information and memo information are input by the information input terminal 4. At this time, the entire image of the seal stamp is displayed on the information input terminal 4, and the operator of the information input terminal 4 inputs while looking at this image. FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram of this information input screen. As shown in the figure, since the entire image of the seal stamp and the input items are displayed on the same screen, the operability (workability) can be improved. In addition, the whole image of the seal stamp also has an enlargement function.

As described above, in the above embodiment, the work from the extraction of the seal stamp to the file registration is, for example, 16 times per case.
Can be done in seconds. It should be noted that the work at the information input terminal 4 requires 9.1 seconds per case (in the case of a checking account), but the information input terminal 4 performs a parallel processing with the reading processing of the seal stamp. The number of registrations per seal stamp is 16
It can be done in seconds.

6 and 7 are explanatory views of this processing time. For example, it is usually 5 to take out the seal stamp from the seal register.
Seconds / case, this set is 0.5 seconds / case. In addition, the work of returning the stamp that has been read is 5 seconds /
This is a case, and this is the time per case required for taking out and returning the seal stamp to the image scanner 1. Also,
The reading process and the data transfer in the image scanner 1 are 16 seconds per case. Furthermore, the time required for the optimum binarization processing such as area extraction, seal imprint / signature extraction, and partial emphasis is 8 seconds in total, and file reading / display, judgment, and rescan are 2 seconds, 3 seconds, and 3 seconds, respectively. Seconds.
It should be noted that the time for reading / displaying / determining a file is assumed. As described above, the process shown by A in FIG. 6 is the work of one operator.

Further, as shown in FIG. 7, the information input terminal 4
In this case, if the account information is input for the time being, it is 8.1 seconds, and the memo information is input for 1 second, which is 9.1 seconds. These processes B are the work of one other operator, and are performed in parallel with the process A.

On the other hand, to compare this embodiment,
An example in which the process from the scanner control to the registration is performed by one terminal will be described. FIG. 8 is an explanatory diagram of this comparative example.
First, the seal stamp is taken out from the seal stamp and set in the image scanner. In this case, since the registration process is performed serially, the seal stamps are set one by one. Therefore, it takes 5 seconds for each stamp to be taken out, and each set takes 5 seconds. Then, the image scanner receives the parameters such as the reading density (0.3
Second), the image is read with the parameter, and the read image data is displayed on the screen of the terminal (6.6 seconds). In this case, due to the excess or deficiency of the read density, rereading is performed once every two times (this is 4 seconds per case).

Then, the terminal confirms and finely adjusts the cut-out position of an area such as a seal imprint field or a signature field (1.
8 seconds), and further, account information is input (8.1 seconds in the case of checking account). If there is memo information indicating the customer information, etc., this input is performed (1 second / 1
File) is registered (5 seconds). In some cases, from the parameter input to the file registration, the seal stamp image and the seal stamp entire image may be processed twice. As described above, when the registration process of the seal stamp is completed, the seal stamp is returned to the seal stamp (5
Second), the registration process of the seal stamp is completed.

In this way, when the reading and registration of the seal stamp are performed by one image scanner and one terminal, it takes 41.8 seconds per case, as shown in the figure. On the other hand, in the seal book registration system of the present embodiment, each case requires 16 seconds, so one image scanner and one
It is possible to reduce the time by 38.3% as compared with the case of using one terminal.

As described above, according to the first embodiment, the scanner control terminal 2 extracts the area of the seal imprint area and automatically sets the density of the seal imprint area from the image data of the seal stamp read by the image scanner 1. Therefore, the seal stamp can be read in a short time. Moreover, in the above-mentioned Example 1,
Since the image scanner 1 has a function of automatically reading a plurality of seal stamps collectively, it can further contribute to shortening the seal stamp registration process.

Further, the image scanner 1 reads the image data of the seal stamp in multi-values, and the scanner control terminal 2 optimally binarizes the multi-valued data to obtain binary image data. The rereading process in the image scanner 1 is unnecessary, and in this respect, the registration process can be most shortened. Further, in the scanner control terminal 2, the image data of the entire seal stamp sheet and the image data of the seal imprint portion and the signature portion are converted into binary image data,
Since the image data of the entire seal stamp is displayed at the information input terminal 4 at the same time as the information input screen, the workability of inputting account information can be improved.

Next, an example in which the image scanner and the scanner control terminal are two units will be described as a second embodiment. << Embodiment 2 >> FIG. 9 is a diagram showing the configuration. The illustrated seal book registration system includes two image scanners 1a and 1b and scanner control terminals 2a and 2b, a server 3, an information input terminal 4, and a network 5. The image scanners 1a and 1b and the scanner control terminals 2a and 2b have the same configurations as the image scanner 1 and the scanner control terminal 2 in the first embodiment, and the image scanner 1a is the scanner control terminal 2a and the image scanner 1b is the scanner control. Each is controlled by the terminal 2b. Other configurations are similar to those of the above-described first embodiment, and thus the description thereof is omitted.

In the seal stamp registration system configured as described above, the two scanner control terminals 2a and 2b perform the parallel processing and the parallel processing is registered in the server 3, so that the registration time can be further shortened. You can That is, as is clear from FIGS. 6 and 7, the processing time per case is further shortened by performing the processing A part requiring a large amount of time per case in parallel. Of.

In each of the above-described embodiments, an example is described in which the process from reading the seal stamp to registration is performed in one place, such as a regional center of a financial institution, but this is divided into processing at a sales office and a regional center. The third embodiment will be described below as a third embodiment.

And a server 3 and an information input terminal 4. When the optical disk 6 is received from the sales office 100, the reading terminal 7 reads the stored seal stamp information, sends it to the server 3, and the server 3 stores it in the server disk 31. Then, the information input terminal 4 takes out the data of the server 3, inputs the account information and the memo information as in the first and second embodiments, and performs the seal book registration process.

As described above, in the third embodiment, the sales office 100
Since the personal seal book information is converted into an electronic file and sent to the district center 200, the processing at the district center 200 is reduced, and the business office 100 does not need to prepare a duplicate at the time of registering the personal seal book. There are advantages. That is, when all the seal register registration processing is performed on the district center 200 side, the sales office 100 side must also leave a duplicate of the seal stamp in order to carry out transactions with customers. This eliminates the need for special processing.

In each of the above-mentioned embodiments, the seal register registration system is used in a financial institution such as a bank. However, the seal register registration system is not limited to such an application, and a large amount of seal register registration is possible. If, for example, it is applicable.
