The communication unit 48 transmits the contents to be filed by the title registration unit 42, the image registration unit 44, and the recognition result file registration unit 46 to the filing system 14.

Next, the concept of filing in this embodiment will be described. In the filing system 14 according to the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, the minimum unit of a file is a page (one form), and in one form and one document registration, one page (image file) is treated as one document. In one form document registration, a plurality of pages are treated as one document. I
In the D number use registration, an arbitrary number of pages including a page in which a title is created by the title registration unit 42 are handled as one document according to an ID number assigned to each page. In FIG.
A mode of registering (filing) in the filing system 14 in the present embodiment is shown. Furthermore, the filing system 14 can manage a plurality of documents as a binder and a plurality of binders as a cabinet.

Next, a filing method of the filing system in cooperation with the OCR apparatus according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to flowcharts shown in FIGS. 5, 6, 7 and 8.

First, in the OCR device 10, for example, a character recognition process is performed on a form group. In the case of performing registration using an ID number, a form group to be processed has a condition that a character string as a title is recorded on the first page of a bundle of each document in the form group. When registering one document and all forms, one document can be processed by arbitrarily arranged form groups.

The OCR device 10 creates an image file, a text file (recognition result file), and a catalog file as processing results for the form group, and outputs them to the host system 12. OCR of host system 12
The device control unit 20 causes the storage unit 24 to store the processing result of the OCR device 10.

The recognition result file includes a recognition result of a character string used as a keyword at the time of filing in the filing system 14, and includes, for example, contents as shown in FIG.

That is, in the recognition result file, the recognition result read from each of the plurality of forms is registered for each line, and the delimiter of the field is represented by Tab. In the present embodiment, the title structure (title structure information) is defined by the number of keys from the beginning (described later).

As shown in FIG. 10, in the catalog file, an ID number, the number of image data, and an image file name are registered in association with each form. The ID number is
It is used when registering ID number use, and is used for OC
Using the result of the recognition processing in the R device 10, "1" indicating that a title and an image are to be registered, "2" being only a title to be registered, and "2" being an image only to be registered are set. Is done.

The OCR device 10 performs a recognition process on a group of forms to be processed based on a format for recognizing a character to be a title. It is determined that the form includes the ID number, and the ID number is set to “1” or “2”.

The number of image data is the number of images included in one form. When there are a plurality of divided image areas, an image is read for each area. The filing OCR registration unit 22 of the host system 12
When the processing result in the OCR device 10 is stored in the storage unit 24, a logical communication path is set with the filing system 14 to transmit the data to the filing system 14 (step S1).

When the communication path is secured, the filing OCR registration unit 22 acquires title structure information preset in the filing system 14 (step S3). Here, it is assumed that the title structure information is set to 3, that is, the title number is set to the third key from the beginning in the recognition result file.

The filing OCR registration unit 22 opens the catalog file and the recognition result file stored in the storage unit 24 (Step S4). Here, the registration method determination unit 40 of the filing OCR registration unit 22 is
Filing system 14 stores the processing result of R device 10
It is checked which of the three methods is the form registration method for registering the form (step S5). The form registration method may be set in advance before starting the processing in the OCR device 10, or may be arbitrarily specified at the start of the processing. The registration method discriminating unit 40 executes the processing according to the form registration method by the title registration unit 42 and the image registration unit 4.
4. Instruct the recognition result file registration unit 46.

When the form registration method is one form and one document registration, the title registration unit 42 reads the catalog file and the recognition result file from the storage unit 24 and recognizes the recognition result of the form to be included in the recognition result file. To create a title according to the title structure information (steps S6 and S9). The title registration unit 42 stores the created title in the filing system 1 via the communication unit 48.
4 (step S10).

On the other hand, the image registration unit 44
The inside image file is registered in the filing system 14 via the communication unit 48 (step S11). When one form includes a plurality of images, the image registration unit 44 repeats registration of image files for the number of image files.

Here, when execution of registration of the recognition result file is instructed, the recognition result file registration unit 46
Recognition result file (text file) in storage unit 24
Is registered in the filing system 14 via the communication unit 48 (steps S12 and S13). Whether or not the recognition result file is registered may be set before starting the processing in the OCR apparatus 10 or may be arbitrarily specified at the start of the processing.

In the same manner, the same processing is performed for the image file corresponding to each form indicated by the data registered in the catalog file, and the filing system 14 recognizes the title and the image file as necessary. File the result file.

When the processing for all data is completed (step S7), the communication unit 48 performs a disconnection process with the filing system 14 (step S8). FIG. 11 shows a simple specific example of each file when one form and one document are registered. As shown in FIG. 11, the catalog file indicates that processing results (image files) for two sheets exist. In addition, 1
In the case of registering one form, no ID number is used. In the recognition result file, text contents (text data) recognized from the two forms are registered.

Since the filing registration result is one form and one document registration, a title, an image file for one form as page 1 and a page 2 for each of two forms
The contents of the recognition result file are filed.

Next, in step S5, when the registration method discriminating unit 40 determines that the registration of all forms 1 document has been designated, the title registering unit 42 stores in the storage unit 24.
In addition to reading the catalog file and the recognition result file therein, a title is created for the processing result for the first form in accordance with the title structure information by using the recognition result of the form targeted by the recognition result file (steps S14 and S16). ). The title registration unit 42 stores the created title in the filing system 1 via the communication unit 48.
4 (step S17).

On the other hand, the image registration unit 44
The image file inside is registered in the filing system 14 via the communication unit 48 (step S18). When one form includes a plurality of images, the image registration unit 44 repeats registration of image files for the number of image files.

When the processing for the first form is completed, 2
The processing by the title registration unit 42 is not performed on the subsequent sheets, and the registration of the image file by the image registration unit 44 is performed on the processing results of the forms other than the first form (step S18).

In the same manner, an image file corresponding to each form indicated by the data registered in the catalog file is similarly processed to be filed in the filing system 14.

When the processing for all data is completed (step S15), the recognition result file registration unit 46
It is determined whether registration of the recognition result file has been instructed (step S19).

When execution of registration of a recognition result file is instructed, the recognition result file registration unit 46
4 is registered in the filing system 14 via the communication unit 48 (step S20).

The communication unit 48 includes the filing system 14
(Step S21). FIG.
Shows a simple specific example of each file when registering one document for all forms. As shown in FIG. 12, the catalog file indicates that processing results (image files) for two sheets exist. It should be noted that the ID number is not used in the case of registering one document for all forms. In the recognition result file, text contents (text data) recognized from the two forms are registered.

Since the filing registration result is the registration of all forms 1 document, the title created from the contents of the recognition result file obtained from the first form and the page 1 and page 2
All other image files including the first form, and the contents of the recognition result files obtained from all forms as page 3 are filed.

Next, in step S5, when the registration method judging section 40 judges that the ID number use registration is designated, the title registering section 42 stores in the storage section 24
The catalog file is read out, and the registration method is checked based on the ID number of the target form (step S24).

Here, when the ID number of the target form is "1", the title and the image are registered. The recognition result file registration unit 46 determines whether or not execution of registration of the recognition result file has been instructed (step S25). As a result, if execution of registration of the recognition result file has been instructed, the storage unit 24 Temporary storage area 2
The recognition result Temp file stored in 4a is registered in the filing system 14. However, at the time of processing for the first form, nothing is stored in the temporary storage area 24a and is not actually registered.

The title registration unit 42 reads the recognition result file, and creates a title according to the title structure information for the processing result for the first form, using the recognition result of the form to be the target of the recognition result file (step). S27). The title registration unit 42 stores the created title in the filing system 1 via the communication unit 48.
4 (step S28).

On the other hand, the image registration unit 44
The image file inside is registered in the filing system 14 via the communication unit 48 (step S29). When one form includes a plurality of images, the image registration unit 44 repeats registration of image files for the number of image files.

The recognition result file registration section 46 determines whether or not execution of registration of the recognition result file is instructed (step S30). As a result, if execution of registration of the recognition result file is instructed, The recognition result file (text file) in the storage unit 24 is temporarily written as a recognition result Temp file in the temporary storage area 24a of the storage unit 24 (step S31).

When the processing for the first form is completed, the registration method is similarly checked based on the ID number for the processing result for the next form registered in the catalog file (step S24).

When the ID number registration is used, usually, as shown in FIG. 4C, a form in which an image to be made into one document is to be registered is continuous with a form in which a title is to be registered. If the ID number for the target form is “3” in the check in step S24, the image is to be registered.

The image registration unit 44 first determines whether or not title registration has been performed. If the result is that the title has not been registered, the image registration unit 44 determines that it is not in a state where ID number use registration can be performed, and stops processing. I do. Filing OC
The R registration unit 22 executes an error process, and disconnects the connection with the filing system 14 by the communication unit 48 (Steps S45 and S46).

If the title has been registered first,
The image registration unit 44 registers the image file in the storage unit 24 with the filing system 14 via the communication unit 48 (Step S42). When one form includes a plurality of images, the image registration unit 44 repeats registration of image files for the number of image files.

The recognition result file registration unit 46 determines whether or not execution of registration of the recognition result file has been instructed (step S30). As a result, if execution of registration of the recognition result file has been instructed, The recognition result file (text file) in the storage unit 24 is temporarily written as a recognition result Temp file in the temporary storage area 24a of the storage unit 24 (step S31).

Hereinafter, a form (I
If D number = 3) is continuous, the same processing is repeated for each image file. On the other hand, when the ID number of the target form is “2”, only the title is registered.

The recognition result file registration section 46 determines whether or not execution of registration of the recognition result file has been instructed (step S35). As a result, if execution of registration of the recognition result file has been instructed, The recognition result Temp file stored in the temporary storage area 24a of the storage unit 24 is registered in the filing system 14 (step S3).
6).

In other words, registering a title from the processing result of a form to be processed means that the form up to the form immediately before it is one document, and the contents of the recognition result file corresponding to each form in the one document are stored. Register with the title and image file registered earlier.

The title registration unit 42 reads the recognition result file, and creates a title for the next document according to the title structure information using the recognition result of the form to be the target of the recognition result file (step). S3
7). The title registration unit 42 registers the created title in the filing system 14 via the communication unit 48 (Step S38).

The recognition result file registration unit 46 determines whether or not execution of registration of the recognition result file is instructed (step S39). As a result, if execution of registration of the recognition result file is instructed, The recognition result file (text file) in the storage unit 24 is temporarily written as a recognition result Temp file in the temporary storage area 24a of the storage unit 24 (step S40).

When the processing for all data is completed (step S23), the recognition result file registration unit 46 determines whether or not execution of registration of the recognition result file is instructed (step S32). If execution of registration of the recognition result file is instructed, the recognition result Temp file stored in the temporary storage area 24a of the storage unit 24 is registered in the filing system 14 (step S33).

The communication unit 48 includes the filing system 14
Is performed (step S34). FIG.
Shows a simple specific example of each file in the case of performing ID number use registration. As shown in FIG. 13, the catalog file indicates that processing results (image files) for six sheets exist. Then, one document is composed of every three sheets. In the recognition result file, text contents (text data) recognized from the six forms are registered.

Since the filing registration result is the registration using the ID number, for the document 1, the title created from the contents of the recognition result file obtained from the top form,
The contents of three image files as page 1, page 2 and page 3 and the contents of the recognition result file obtained from three forms as page 4 are filed. Similarly, for the document 2, the title created from the contents of the recognition result file obtained from the fourth form and the two image files except for the image file in which only the title is registered as the page 1 and the page 2 The contents of the recognition result file obtained from three forms as page 3 are filed.

In this manner, the contents of the recognition result file, which is the processing result in the OCR device 10, can be added as a keyword in the filing system 14 to the image file according to the method of registration in the filing system 14. Therefore, even when filing a large number of forms and the like, it is not necessary to input keywords one by one from the keyboard, and the work load is greatly reduced.

Further, the recognition result file (text file), which is the processing result in the OCR apparatus 10, is systematically filed together with the image file, so that the text file can be searched for by the keyword.

Note that the OCR device 10 in the above-described embodiment is a FAX-OCR system,
By using a filing system in cooperation with the CR system, it is possible to recognize the destination, title, and the like in the content received via the communication line, and to automatically register them in the file system together with the image file as keywords.

In the embodiment, the filing OC is used.
