Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to a form gauge for a form processing device, and more specifically, it is used to check whether or not a form is created in accordance with the reading conditions of a form reading device. Regarding the form gauge.

With the advancement of the information society, in form reading devices used as input devices for electronic computers, for example, optical character reading devices are used to directly read characters or codes on forms, and this has led to automation of information processing, Efforts are being made to improve administrative processing efficiency.

However, in general, form reading devices have their scope of application or application conditions depending on their purpose, and unless forms are created and used with consideration to the effective and efficient operation of the reading device, the efficiency of office processing will not improve. are not distant relatives.

Therefore, in order to check whether the form to be processed can be applied to the form reading device, conventionally it is necessary to read the condition items for 1 form design method written in the manual that comes with the applicable reading device. , the dimensions in the text are deciphered, and a scale is used to measure the original form or the existing form to confirm whether the dimensions are appropriate.

However, this method has many drawbacks in checking form design, such as overlooking conditions written in the manual, misreading the scale graduations and units, and taking a long time to measure. There is.

An object of the present invention is to eliminate such conventional drawbacks and provide a form design confirmation gauge that can easily and accurately check a form immediately.

The form gauge according to the present invention has a transparent or translucent sheet marked with the conditions of the form processing device to be applied in a two-dimensional pattern, and is superimposed on the surface of the form so that the form is This feature is characterized in that it is configured to determine whether or not various conditions are met.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a plan view of a form gauge according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in Figure 1, a transparent or translucent film,
Alternatively, a two-dimensional pattern covering various conditions for reading by a form reading device (not shown) is written on a sheet 1 such as a piece of paper.

In the illustrated embodiment, large, medium,
Small character frame 10.10', 10'', clear area 11 to indicate dirt or areas that should not be written, line mark 12 to indicate the reading line, field 13 to indicate the area to be read, treated as a separate field. The prescribed field interval 14, etc. for the purpose are shown in a plane.

As shown in FIG. 2, such a transparent or translucent sheet 1 is superimposed on the documents to be confirmed 2, and the sheet 1 is moved appropriately over the documents 2. It is determined whether the configuration matches the pattern on the sheet 1, and various check points and areas are checked.

According to the present invention, even if documents of various types or sizes are to be targeted, simply by superimposing the document gauge on top of the documents, it is possible to visually check, for example, clear areas, leading areas, line marks, etc. on the documents to be checked. , character frames, character frame spacing, reading fields, field spacing, etc., can be checked immediately and accurately without overlooking whether or not they conform to the conditions of the reading device.

In particular, with the form gauge according to the present invention, important parts can be colored or screened on the sheet, so that an excellent visual effect can be obtained.

Furthermore, the form gauge of the present invention has various advantages, such as being easy to duplicate and being able to easily deal with changes, additions, and deletions of notes, confirmation points, and areas.
