2. Description of the Related Art A conventional character recognition system includes a character reading device and has an image display screen for designating an area for character recognition. In this conventional character recognition system, either a character recognition area is specified on the image display screen to perform character recognition, or a character recognition of a specified area is performed with respect to a predetermined format. There are some types. The prior art will be described below with reference to specific examples.

As a conventional character / graphic input device, for example, the one reported in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 62-69381 can be cited. In this conventional character / graphic input device, a graphic input from the image input means is displayed on the display screen of the display means, and a screen area designating means such as a light pen, a tablet, a mouse or a keyboard is displayed for the displayed image. By specifying the character area with, the character recognition means recognizes the coordinate information for the input character in the input drawing as a character pattern, and based on this recognition result, the input character is changed to a typeface character and displayed. Is configured.
Therefore, even if you enter a drawing with mixed characters / figures, you do not have to re-enter only the characters and you can specify the input characters on the display screen to convert them to print characters. It has the advantage that it can be displayed.

As a conventional conversational character recognition method, for example, the one reported in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 105981/1990 can be cited. In this conventional conversational character recognition method, an area in which a character to be recognized exists in the read image is specified, and the number of recognized characters in the area is specified.
The area is equally divided by the number of recognized characters, and the character pattern of the equally divided area is cut out and recognized. For this reason, the character area can be divided by the specified number of characters, and character recognition can be performed for each of the divided frames, so that a free-format character string can be easily recognized without performing special character cutting processing. It has the advantage of being able to.

[0005]

However, in the conventional character recognition system as described above, the image input by the character input device itself is displayed on the display screen of the display means,
Since the specific area of the display screen on which the image is displayed is specified and the specific area is character-recognized, only the specific area of the display screen displayed by the program of the character input device itself can be character-recognized. Therefore, there is a problem that the character recognition cannot be performed by designating the character recognition area on an arbitrary screen on the display device.

For example, it is not possible to recognize characters in a region across a plurality of screens, and characters are recognized by setting a region of a screen not displayed other than the screen displayed by the program of the character input device itself. I couldn't. That is, the character recognition cannot be performed on a screen other than the display screen displayed by the character recognition program itself.

Therefore, according to the present invention, it is possible to perform character recognition by designating an area across a plurality of screens or by designating an area of a screen that is not displayed. An object is to provide an image information recognition processing system capable of performing character recognition by designating a character recognition area on an arbitrary screen.

[0008]

An image information recognition processing system according to the present invention includes a storage unit for storing image information of the entire display screen and a display screen for reading the image information of the entire display screen from the image information storage unit. And a recognition means for reading and recognizing the image information corresponding to the image information recognition area designated on the displayed display screen from the storage means.
