Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Technical Field) The present invention relates to a multifunction terminal combining a facsimile and a character recognition device, and particularly relates to recognition processing of a factor j IJ received image.

(Prior art) Conventionally, an offline type FAX-OC that allows 0Ca (optical character recognition! It) to read the received facsimile recording paper
R system was proposed. In the case of a text message, a human being could look at the received recording paper, distinguish the received manuscript of a general document from the manuscript sent for text, and input only the latter to 0C)t.

However, in the case of a so-called online type FAX-0CR system in which the facsimile reception +ii+s and drowsiness signal are directly passed to the recipient for recognition without using the reception recording paper, some sort of identification of the received document is required.

Otherwise, before sending the document, the receiving side is notified whether the next document to be sent is a general document or a document to be sent for character recognition, and the document is sent after the receiving side has completed switching the mode specification. This requires 1111 steps to start transmission, which is extremely inconvenient.

(Objective of the Invention) The object of the present invention is to automatically distinguish a 1m image of a received file from a general document original and a form that requires character recognition, to record and output the general document original as a hard copy that can be visualized, and to perform character recognition. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a facsimile reception device that performs character recognition.

(Explanation of Examples) An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 5 shows an example of a manuscript 1 that includes character recognition information and a general document manuscript 2 that does not require character recognition. FIG. 2 is a system configuration diagram for explaining the present invention in detail. The system is F
AX receiving circuit 5, image storage device 9, and image storage device), one G1 memory system circuit 7, character recognition device 14, character recognition of the recorded ρ1 image signal for hard copy output. The switch circuit 16 selects whether to transfer data to the device 14 or the recording device 1i22, and the system A! controls the operation of the system. BIJ control circuit 18.

A detailed explanation will be given below along with the flow of data.

An ID line 2 is provided in a document 1 including the character #jt texture information shown in FIG. 1 at a predetermined position, for example, at a distance @y from the leading edge of the document and at a distance @X from the left edge. ID
In column 2, print in advance an identification number to indicate the type of form (or a single character, symbol, etc., as long as it is within the range of character types recognized by the character recognition device described later), or
Or fill in lead 44.

For example, if there are three types of forms, the ID code of each form is A.
All you have to do is decide OI, AO2, AOj.

In this case, even if the form has S (If), its position, for example, the distance from the leading edge and left edge of the form, must be kept constant within the tolerance range for positional deviation of conventional character recognition devices. On the other hand, in the general document manuscript 3 used for message exchange, there is no particular Il) line.

As mentioned above, by giving conditions to the manuscript to be used,
It is possible to flexibly process UIU image communication such as conventional facsimile and data communication for inputting to a computer via a recognition device.

In Figure 2, the manuscript sent once via @4 is sent to FA.
OF person receiving/receiving circuit 5 received by the X receiving circuit 5
When the fax machine receives a water breakage message from the other party's fax machine, the system control circuit 18- sends a signal *10. Then, a signal is given to the image storage control device 7 via the signal line 11 to start storing the received ii image.
The file upload reception signal sent from AX is subjected to composite processing to create raw image data, and then image storage control is performed via signal line 6 (all?). Hand over to. The image storage control value [7 controls the storage of received IT signals sequentially from a predetermined address in the image storage device 9. When one page has been received,
The page end signal is sent from the X receiving circuit 5 to the system control circuit 1.
8, the control circuit in step 5 manages files in the image storage device 9, and even if it continues to receive data,
It is constantly monitored to see if it can be stored in i-image storage device #19. When the system control circuit 18 receives the page end signal from the FAX receiving circuit 5iF-, the system control circuit 18 receives a request for the received value of the next page.
A response is sent to i2i5 via the control line 10 as to whether or not to start receiving the next generation.

send. When starting to receive the next page, it is stored in the next file address of the image storage device 9 via the control circuit 7 in the same way as the spinning page. Manual operation is performed as long as possible. On the other hand, when there are no more Air Self-Defense Forces in the image storage device, the system control circuit 18 notifies the FAX reception tg circuit 5 of a reception refusal command. stops receiving the next page and performs the procedure to disconnect the line.

Next, when the series of reception operations ends at 18T, the process moves to recognition of the received images stored in the image storage device 9. The system control circuit 18 instructs the image storage control device 17 to read each file starting from a predetermined address and also reads the letter -a.
The start of one umbrella is also notified to the device 14 via the control line 19. At this time, information necessary for recognition, such as line position, character type, and number of characters to be recognized, is provided in advance. As for these character recognition devices, the present invention can be sufficiently supported by using known ones, so a detailed explanation will be omitted.Does the 0 switch circuit 16 pass the image signal to the character recognition device 14 or to the recording device n? t is switched by the control line 15 from the system control device 18. When performing line processing of the received image, the signal enters the switch circuit 16 from the 1mi image storage control device 7 via the signal line 12,
An image signal is manually input to the character recognition device 14 from the signal line 17. First, data for recognizing the ID field shown in FIG. 1 is given from the system control circuit 18 to the character recognition device 14. Based on this data, the character recognition device 114 detects the ID column from the input image signal and recognizes what is written in ID@4C. This recognition result is notified to the system control circuit 18 via a control line 19. The system control M1 circuit 18 controls Ia! If the Ori-Yui rice matches one of the pre-registered ID codes, continue to perform the character-weaving operation according to the form format with that ID code.
14. On the other hand, the recognition result in the ID field is registered.
If it does not exist in the D code or is unrecognizable, no further recognition operation is performed. In this case, the switch circuit goes to the operation for outputting the original as a hard copy, and the 0 system control circuit 18 connected to the signal line area connects to the recording device 21 via the control line 21 to obtain a note copy. It is activated and address information is given to the Im image storage control device 7 so that the image signal is read from the beginning of the document. subordinate
7, the recording device n outputs a document with an ID code in which ID11m1 is not registered or an unrecognized document.

When the above control is performed, the general document document j does not have a special ID field, and if this position is completely white, it is determined to be an unrecognizable document and is output as a note copy (0 or 0) by the recording device B. Sentence 11: It is highly unlikely that even if something such as a character 1 figure is drawn in the position corresponding to the 9 ID column, the recognition result will be the same as the ID code by chance. , the number of accidental matches will be reduced 0 (Effect of the invention) As explained in detail above, it should be recognized. An ID column is provided in a predetermined position of the form, and based on the recognition result of the ID column, if it is a registered ID code. In this case, character recognition is continued in the form mart that matches the ID code, and if the recognition result is other than the registered ID code, including unrecognizable ID codes, a note copy is output. It is possible to separate the forms that need to be recognized and the original document for general documents. Therefore, even if a document containing one notification item and a slip are sent together, the document containing the notification item is the received original document as in conventional facsimile IJ. In addition, the invoices can be recognized and input into a computer without unnecessary recording, and effective invoice processing operations can be realized. Although the configuration is such that data is stored in the image storage device 9 in the form of data, it is of course possible to store the data as it is and reproduce it as raw image data just before handing it over to the character recognition device. 0 that can be implemented
