Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Application of the Invention] The present invention relates to a system for synthesizing input information from a plurality of terminals to synthesize one set of information.

[Background of the invention]

Conventional methods for electronically processing handwritten Japanese include telemail, tablet input for OCR recognition, fax transmission and reception of already written documents, videophone calls, and image transmission using camera imaging.

However, the following points apply to the processing of handwritten Japanese:
There are some deficiencies.

(1) Information cannot be exchanged between multiple people (1:n). This includes telemail and regular fax.

This applies to OCR, etc.

(2) Developing digital computer systems centered on encoded data, online systems, etc.
Handwritten Japanese information is not electronically processed for transactions by integrating it with processing compatible with Ranzakujiyon. In particular, most of the input methods for creating transactions, that is, creating information, are individually independent.

For this reason, even though digital computers are becoming more and more popular online, the parts that require inputting, storing, correcting, and outputting handwritten Japanese information are still left to the human hands. Even if none of them are left behind, various forms and ledgers still flood the office because they have to be converted into encoded data and input. These components cannot be eliminated and processed electronically.

For example, OCR and FAX require the existence of a slip.

[Purpose of the invention]

The present invention eliminates the above-mentioned drawbacks, and in order to electronically process handwritten Japanese and eliminate paper as much as possible, the present invention converts handwritten Japanese information into electronic data at the time it is written, and also edits handwritten and electronic data. , conversion, modification, etc. between multiple terminals.

[Summary of the invention]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention performs the following operations.

(1) In order to make it possible to correct errors in handwritten characters, handwritten input data is updated in one line, one character, or at m position between characters. Especially allowing information to be completed before and during operation.

(2) Enable input of digitally encoded data (3)
Enables the creation and exchange of information between multiple people.

[Embodiments of the invention]

The present invention will be explained below based on Examples.

FIG. 1 shows a block diagram of an information synthesis system according to the present invention, in which a plurality of information creation terminals 1 are connected to a common control section 20. In the figure, only two terminals 1 are shown for H and QL conversion. Tablet input section 4, output control section 8
A, an output operation section 8b, an input/output section 6 for encoded data, etc. are connected to the terminal processing section 2a. The input/output unit 6 performs operation guidance as necessary under the control of the processing unit 2a. Handwritten pen input is performed from the tablet input section 4. The tablet input unit 4 is, for example, a one-line land tablet capable of handwriting 20 characters per line.

FIG. 2 shows the appearance of the structure of the tablet input section 4 and related parts, and shows a sheet of paper 5 between the pen 4b and the tablet 4C.
The contact point between the tablet 4C and the pen 4b can send the address as bit data to the terminal processing section 2a by the converter 4a.

The system shown in FIG. 1 will be explained below with reference to FIG. 2 as appropriate.

The input handwritten data is stored in an area partitioned by the 1st position of each line in the input buffer 2b, and after the operator has handwritten one line, if the operator thinks it is okay to look at it, the input/output unit 6 sends a message indicating that the line is complete. Enter the key. Note that a sheet of paper is fed to the upper surface of the tablet input section 4 by the operation of the operating section 8b, so that handwriting on the sheet of paper 2 will be input naturally.

After the operator has handwritten one line, if he/she wishes to make corrections, he/she can use the input/output section 6.
When the odd person key is pressed, the operating section 8b feeds the paper, and the user writes again by hand. The re-input data is replaced with the previous data in the input buffer 2b.

In this way, a handwritten character pattern signal is input. In this way, the encoded signal inputted from the input/output section and the handwritten character pattern signal form a pair and are sent to the input buffer 2.
Stored in b. The signal in this crowd buffer 2b is
It is sent to the control section 20 via the processing section 2a. Processing section 20
Seeing this sent encoded signal, a transfers this handwritten character pattern signal to the terminal l specified by this encoded signal, and also stores this handwritten character pattern signal and encoded signal in the external memory 20b. , is stored at a location specified by this encoded signal.

The terminal that receives the signal stores this signal in the output buffer 2C under the control of the processing section 2a. The output control unit 8a reads the pattern signal in the output buffer 2C, drives the pen 8c in the operating unit 8b, and prints the paper 5-
Outputs characters in .

Another operator looks at this output content, checks it, and if there is a correction, inputs the line number from the input/output unit 6 and then inputs one line using the tablet input unit 4.

Also, if you want to add rather than modify, input in the same way.

The processing section 2a passes the input character pattern signal to the input buffer 2b. Then output buffer 2
The pattern signal in C and the modified or additional pattern signal in the input buffer are combined and sent to the control section 20, and at this time, the coded signal in the output buffer 2C is also sent.

Furthermore, in addition to pattern input from the tablet input section 4,
It is also possible to additionally input encoded signals to the input/output unit 6. In this case, this additional input data is input into the input buffer 2b for modification, and then combined with the encoded signal in the output buffer and sent to the control unit 20. The control unit 20 stores the modified or added signal in the original, pre-addition, or modification signal storage location.

In order to clarify the configuration of each block of the system 11 shown in FIG. 1, the operation of the system shown in FIG. 1 in a specific usage mode will be described.

(1) Usage Example 1 A conference usage example will be described in which inputs from a plurality of terminals 1 are combined to complete one complete text document.

An inputter at the first terminal inputs text from the tablet input section 4, and manually inputs the code for the name of the document to be created and the terminal number of the destination to which the document is to be sent from the input/output section 6. The processing device 20a looks at the name code of the document among this input data, and determines the location where the sent pattern signal and encoded signal are to be stored.
It looks at the other party's address in the encoded signal and sends (n) to that terminal.The other party's terminal looks at the pattern signal of this sent signal and makes additions and corrections as described above. , and sends it back to the control unit 20.

The control unit 20 stores the returned signal in a storage device in the external memory 20b that corresponds to the code of the name of the original document in the returned signal.

By repeating such operations, it is possible to input character pattern signals from a large number of terminals and synthesize one complete document.

(2) Usage Example 2 A character pattern input on a first terminal is viewed on a second terminal, and the pattern is coded to create a complete coded signal. Describe a use case for customer service.

At the first terminal 1, the customer inputs his or her own address, name, name, address, and handling bank name of the remittance partner from the tablet input section 4. Further, the user inputs his/her own account number, the other party's account number, and a code indicating the desired process (remittance in this example) from the input/output unit 6. The processing device 20a looks at the desired processing code, determines the store address of the sent signal, specifies the terminal for performing this processing, that is, the terminal 1 for remittance in this example, and specifies the terminal 1 for remittance. Send this input signal to. The remittance terminal 1 outputs a pattern signal among the sent signals.

The operator looks at the name of the other party's bank in the output pattern, inputs the corresponding code number from the input/output unit 6, and also inputs the name and number of the other party using the Kana keys. The processing section 2a adds this input code to the previously sent signal and sends it back to the processing bag J20a. After storing this signal, the post-processing bag [20a] performs a predetermined process (in this example, remittance process). By doing so, the amount of coded signals that the customer must input can be reduced. Please note that your account number is
As shown in FIG. 2, input can also be made using the card input section [6a.

Note that it is also possible to convert part of the character input into voice input.

〔Effect of the invention〕
