Abstract

PURPOSE:To facilitate easy comparison and collation of characters by providing a printing mechanism to a feed path of the paper which is fed for optical reading purpose to perform printing at an optional position of the paper and then printing the reading result at a position correspond to the written character. CONSTITUTION:The paper 2 is scanned optically and recognized within a paper feed/read mechanism 1. The result of this recognition is printed under the pertinent written characters on the paper 2 by a printing mechanism 6 and then discharged. An operator 5 looks only at the discharged paper to compare and coll ate the written characters with the reading result. If an error is detected as the result of collation, the operator 5 corrects the pertinent area of the reading result displayed at a display 3 through a keyboard 4.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Most well-known technical field] This invention relates to an optical character reading device that optically scans and identifies and reads characters written on paper, and which facilitates checking of the reading results. It is something.

[Prior art]

Conventionally, the device shown in FIG. 1 is known as this type of optical character β taking device. In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a paper conveyance reading ffl#L that conveys the paper and runs it optically to recognize it.
Reference numeral 2 indicates a sheet on which characters are written, 6 a display for displaying the reading results, 4 a keyboard for correcting the reading results, and 5 an operator for checking the reading results. and a hand operating the keyboard 4.

In the optical character reading device configured in this manner, the results read by the paper conveyance/reading device 1 are displayed on the display 6. The operator 5 visually compares this display with the characters written on the ejected sheet 2 to check whether the characters have been read correctly.

As a result of the verification, if there are any errors, they are corrected using the keyboard 4.

Since the conventional optical character reading device has 414 configurations as described above, when checking the reading results, the operator 5
looks at both the display 6 and the ejected paper 2,
There are disadvantages in that comparisons have to be made and verification takes time, and since it is difficult to take corrective action, there are drawbacks such as omissions in verification and omissions in corrections.

[Summary of the invention]

The present invention eliminates the above-mentioned drawbacks of the conventional device, and provides an optical character reading device equipped with TFI Jlo7 that transports paper and optically reads characters. To provide an optical character reading device in which a mechanism for printing at a position is looked down and a reading result is printed on a fd at a position corresponding to a written character, and the reading result can be verified by looking only at the paper. It is something.

[Embodiments of the invention]

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In Figure 442, reference numeral 1 is a paper conveyance/reading mechanism that transports paper and optically runs it to recognize it, 2 is a paper with characters written on it, 5 is tide Jlo, and 1? , display vermilion −

J: Ill kl (installed in conveyance reading 4 Ikusa 1,
The optical character reading device rented as described above uses a printing mechanism that prints the reading result in one area when the paper 2 is fed out four times. can be recognized by being optically scanned. - The polished rice is processed by the printing mechanism 6 on the paper 2.
For example, it is printed at the bottom of the corresponding written character, and then the second paper 2 is issued v1. Operator 5 is
The paper 2 that has been ejected is looked at and checked by comparing the written characters with the reading results. As a result of this verification, if there is an error, the corresponding part displayed on the display B and marked "C" is corrected using the keyboard 4.

Incidentally, in the above embodiment, the case where the reading result is printed below the written characters was explained. You may also print the corresponding area in the corresponding area.

It's a tumor, but in the above implementation, the butt was taken off by mistake 7? Store 1
Regarding the case of tf)+', as mentioned above, it is also possible to process the correction of characters determined to be nc-infeasible.

[Effect of emission ψj]

As described above, in an optical character reading device equipped with a mechanism for transporting paper and optically viewing characters, the present invention is capable of printing characters at arbitrary positions on paper on which characters are written within the paper transport path. Since the reading result is printed on the same sheet of paper, there is no need to compare and check the display and paper as in the past. Comparison and verification with written characters is much easier than in the previous example, and this can be done reliably.

As a result, verification time can be shortened, errors in correction errors and omissions can be reduced, and since the display does not have to be displayed twice during verification, it can be used even in locations other than where the optical character reading device is installed. able to work.
