Abstract

PURPOSE:To display necessary picture information by the minimum amount of data and to save the capacity of a memory device by reading stamp and address/name columns of a seal slip at a different density level by different image pickup means and storing them in a file memory device. CONSTITUTION:when an object changeover switch of a keyboard 8 and a mode changeover switch are switches to the seal side and the registration side, respectively, a high-density image pickup device 9 reads only a picture in a stamp column of a seal slip at a high density level. The readout picture is stored in a readout data memory circuit 14, and displayed on a CRT7. After an operator confirms that a display of the seal print is correct, she inputs the account number, which is stored in a memory circuit 15 and displayed on the CRT7. When an operator depresses a confirmation switch, seal print data is stored in a seal file 4 in correspondence to the account number. When the object changeover switch is switched to the address/name side, a low-sensity image pickup device 10 reads out parts except a stamp column of a seal slip at a low-density level. Said parts are stored in the readout data memory circuit 14, displayed on the CRT7 and stored in an address/name file when the confirmation switch is depressed.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a seal registration device for electrically filing a seal stamp on which an address and name are written and a contract stamp stamped thereon.

Structure of conventional examples and their problems Traditionally, banks and other financial institutions keep a huge number of seal registration forms on file, and the seal verification process first involves searching for a specific seal registration form among a large number of seal registration forms. However, this is done by comparing the extracted seal registration form with the impression of the seal on the presented slip. Here, searching for a specific item from among a huge number of seal registration forms takes a very long time, which is a major cause of the deterioration of service at counter operations.

Against this background, various seal verification devices have been proposed recently. The mainstream method is to file registered seal impressions in the form of electrical or magnetic signals in a storage device, search for and extract arbitrary seal impression data based on account numbers, etc., and display the stamp data on a CRT, etc. This device captures the stamp impression to be verified such as a presented slip using an imaging device, and displays this stamp impression data to be verified on the CRT in a superimposed manner on the registered seal impression data.

On this CR, T screen, the degree of deviation between the registered seal impression and the verified seal impression is visually checked. With this device, in order to faithfully reproduce the registered seal impression, it is necessary to read the registered seal impression with a sufficiently high-density, high-resolution imaging device, so the amount of registered seal impression data is relatively large. ,
A large-capacity file storage device is required.By the way, the seal stamp on which the contract stamp is affixed also includes strip information such as the contractor's name and address. It would be very convenient if this additional information could be stored and registered at the same time as the seal impression.However, as mentioned above, even a file storage device that only stores seal impression data would have a very large capacity, so it would be much more convenient than the seal impression. Size of Area It is completely impractical to read and store the image data of the address and name field at the same density because it requires a storage device fr1- with a much larger capacity.

OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a seal registration device that is capable of storing and registering not only the registered seal imprint of a seal impression but also the image information of the address and name field without significantly increasing the capacity of the file storage device. It's about doing.

Structure of the Invention In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides a first imaging means for optically reading an image (registered seal imprint) of a stamp area of a seal stamp with high density, and a first imaging means that separately reads an image of the stamp field of a seal stamp with high density; A second imaging means that optically reads the image in the name field at low density is provided, and the amount of image data in the name and address field that only needs to be legible is minimized, and the same account number is stored together with high-density registered seal data. It is characterized in that it is configured to be stored in a file storage device in a corresponding manner.

DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS FIG. 1 shows a schematic configuration of an apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. The terminal device 1 is connected to a file storage device 2 by a predetermined data transmission line, and performs processing for registering seal stamp data in the storage device 2 and inquiry for searching and displaying seal stamp data already registered in the storage device 2. The storage device @1, which is configured to perform both processing, is a device equipped with a large capacity memory such as a magnetic disk device, and stores a seal file 4, an address name file 5, a file control device 3, and a switch 6. Contains.

The terminal device 1 includes, as components on the device surface, a CRT 7 on which seal stamp data etc. are displayed, a keyboard 8 for inputting various commands to the device, a high-density imaging device 9 and its reading stand A. , a low-density imaging device 1○ and its reading stand B. - Furthermore, the operation of the circuit system of the terminal device 2 is supervised by the control circuit 19, and overall timing control is performed.

Figure 2 shows an example of the external appearance of the keyboard 8.The keyboard 7 has a group of numeric switches 24 for inputting account numbers, etc., and a number switch group 24 for inputting an account number etc. and a mode selector switch 26 that switches between a data registration mode in the storage device 2 and a data inquiry mode from the storage device 2.
and a confirmation switch 27 for inputting registration confirmation in registration mode.

FIG. 3 shows an example of the seal stamp 21. As shown in the figure, the seal stamp 21 has an address and name column 2 in which the address and name are written.
3 and a stamp field 22 where a registered seal is stamped are printed in advance.

First, the configuration and operation for reading and registering the registered seal imprint in the seal field 22 of the seal stamp 21 will be explained. In this case keyboard 8
The object changeover switch 25 is switched to the seal stamp side, and the mode changeover switch 26 is switched to the registration side. Then, the seal stamp 21 is correctly positioned on the reading stand A of the high-density imaging device 9 and stamped.

The high-density imaging device 9 captures the seal stamp 2 set on the reading table A.
Only the image of the stamp field 22 of No. 1 is optically read at high density. The image pickup device 9 uses a two-dimensional solid-state image pickup device such as a COD, and reads the registration stamp printed with a sufficiently high scanning density of about 8 lines/mm and converts it into an electrical signal.

Since the target selection switch 25 has been switched to the seal stamp side, the control circuit 19 switches the switch 11 to the high-density imaging device 9
11111, and the stamp data obtained by the imaging device 9 is sent to the reading amplifier circuit 12 and the A/D conversion circuit 1.
3, the signal is processed and converted into registered seal imprint data in the form of a binarized dot pattern. This seal impression data is stored in the read data memory circuit 14 and simultaneously read out by the CRT control circuit 17 and displayed on the CRT 7. FIG. 3(a) shows a seal imprint read by the high-density imaging device 9 and displayed on the CRT 7. In FIG.

The operator checks the display on the CRT 7 to confirm that the stamp in the stamp field 22 is displayed correctly, and then presses the keyboard 8.
Enter any account number. The input is transmitted to the control circuit 19 via the key sense circuit 18 and is also stored in the guidance data memory circuit 15. The account number stored in the memory circuit 15 is read out by the CRT control circuit 17 and displayed on the CRT 7.

After confirming this display, the operator presses the confirmation switch 27 on the keyboard 8. Then, the control circuit 19 sends the input account number, the seal imprint data stored in the memory circuit 14, and a control signal indicating that it is the seal imprint data registration mode to the storage device 2 via the interface circuit 2o. It is sent to the file control device 3. In response to this, the file control device 3 first selects the seal file 4 with the switch 6, and stores the received seal impression data in association with the received account number in the seal file 4. This completes the registration of the seal impression data.

Next, data registration in the address and name column of the seal stamp 21 will be explained. In this case, the target changeover switch 25 is switched to the address/name side, and the seal stamp 21 is correctly aligned and set on the reading stand B of the low-density imaging device 10. The low-density imaging device 1O uses the same COD as the imaging device 9, but its scanning density is low, for example, about 3 lines/m rn, and the scanning density is low, for example, about 3 lines/m rn. (Of course, the address and name field 23 is included) is optically read at low density.

The selector 11 is switched to the low-density imaging device 10 side through the target selector switch 25, and the output of this is processed by the reading amplifier circuit 12 and the A/D converter circuit 13 to generate binary dot pattern image data (this (referred to as address and name column data). This data is stored in the read data memory circuit 14 in the same manner as described above, and is displayed on the CRT 7 by the CRT control circuit 17. FIG. 3 [Ex.]) shows an example of display of the address and name column data at this time. Note that the account number previously stored in the guidance data memory circuit 15 remains unchanged, and the account number is also displayed on the CRT 7.

After confirming these displays, the confirmation switch 27 is pressed as described above. Then, the account number, address/name column data, and a control signal indicating that the address/name column data is the address/name column data are transmitted to the file control device 3. In response to this, the file control device 3 first selects the address/name file 5 using the switch 6, and stores the received address/name column data in correspondence with the received account number.

Note that the data to be stored in the seal file 4 and the address name file 5 is compressed on the file control device a or the terminal device 1 side to reduce the amount of data as much as possible.

In this way, registered seal impressions that require faithful reproducibility are read at a sufficiently high density, and images of address and name columns, which only need to be legible, are read at a low density, so the capacity of the storage device 2 does not have to be that large. However, seal stamp 21
All necessary information can be stored in a file.

The terminal device 1 can read data filed in the storage device 2 and display it on the CRT. For example, if a registered seal imprint is to be searched and displayed, the object changeover switch 26 is switched to the seal side, and the mode changeover switch 26 is switched to the inquiry side. Then enter any account number.

This input is transmitted to the control circuit 19 via the key sense circuit 18 and further transmitted to the file control device 3 via the interface circuit 20. In response to this, the file control device 3 reads the registered seal imprint data of the corresponding account number from the seal file 4 and transmits it to the formula sonter face circuit 20.

On the terminal device 1 side, the received seal imprint data is temporarily stored in the search data memory circuit 16, and the input account number is stored in the guidance data memory circuit 15. Then, the contents of the memory circuits 16 and 15 are stored in the CRT control circuit 1.
7 is displayed on the CRT 7. In exactly the same way, search and extract arbitrary data from address name file 6 and perform CR.
It can be displayed on T7.

Effects of the Invention As explained in detail above, in the seal registration device of the present invention, the seal field and the address and name field on the paper surface of the seal stamp are read at different densities by different imaging means and are stored in a file storage device. Therefore, necessary image information is expressed with the minimum amount of data, and practically sufficient seal stamp information can be stored in a file without increasing the capacity of the storage device.
