Abstract

PURPOSE:To output recognition data to a discontinuously writable area by providing a means which writes and reads the recognition data and determines a write position on a recording medium corresponding to the relative number of the recognition data. CONSTITUTION:An input/output control part 241 reads format information 224 consisting of a register, a file area table, and an identifier in an area 231 on a floppy disk by using the distance l1 from the head of the area 231 and expands it in a format information table 242. When an area having an indicated name is present in the area, a heat cluster number is searched for from the register information in the table 242 and if it is not found, a name is added to give an unused cluster a heat cluster number. When write processing is performed and the fullness of a cluster 222 is detected, the searched free cluster number is regarded as a next cluster number to update file area table information in the table 242, thereby completing the processing.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to an output control method for a data output method of an optical character recognition device.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, the output control of an optical character recognition device is performed in order to output recognition data 111 consisting of n pieces onto a continuous area 121 on a 70-tube disk 131 as shown in FIG.
The water pressure is controlled.

Referring to FIGS. 3 and 4, in the open process 101, n
After confirming the presence or absence of a continuous area 121 corresponding to the pieces of recognition data 111, in the writing process 102, the recognition data a. is the position of the so-called relative number "'0" with the beginning of the continuous area 121 located at a distance k from the beginning of the floppy disk 131 as a reference. Output data to.

Next, in increment processing 103, 1" is added to the data number. Thereafter, in judgment processing 104, the data number is l'ln
Write processing 10 until detecting that it becomes equal to #
2 and increment processing 103 are repeated, and the recognition data 111 is written into a continuous area 121. When the final data "an" is written, the data up to "b" in the continuous area 121 is treated as valid data in the closing process 105, and b
Let n+1 be the end position.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) As described above, in the conventional output method of an optical character recognition device, recognition data cannot be written unless there is a continuous area. This method has a disadvantage in that it is not possible to output to a file whose file area is not necessarily continuous as in the BASIC data file format.

An object of the present invention is to provide an output method for an optical character recognition device that can output to a file whose file area is not necessarily continuous, and also performs overflow and the relative numbering of recognition data and information on a recording medium. The apparatus has means for determining a writing position on the recording medium corresponding to this relative number from the format information of , and determines the writing position for each recognized data.

This is a data output method for an optical character recognition device, which is characterized in that recognition data can be output to discontinuous writing areas on a recording medium.

(Example) Next, the present invention will be explained in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 showing an embodiment of the present invention shows continuous recognition data 211 of #OO-e n being outputted to an area 221 consisting of discontinuous raster areas 222 and 223 on a floppy disk by an input/output control unit 241 according to the present invention. This is an example.

The flow of operation of the input/output control section 241 is shown in FIG.

Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, when activated by the open process 201 that instructs the name of the area to be output, the input/output control unit 241 performs the format information read process 301 to read the data in the area 231 on the floppy disk. Register (oI
RacToRy is hereinafter abbreviated as DIR. ), file area table (FIIJ AREATABLE below FAT
It is abbreviated as. ), an identification name (IDL?JTIFIER, hereinafter abbreviated as ID) is read out using the distance tf from the beginning of the area 231, and expanded into the format information table 242 in the input/output control unit 241. Next, in the first cluster number processing 302, if an area with the specified name exists, the table 242
The first cluster number is taken from the DIR information above, and if there is no area with the specified name, D on the table 242 is taken.
Add the specified name to the IR information, search the FAT information, and select any unused cluster as the first cluster number.

When activated by the write process 202 that instructs to write the recognition data cx (x: O to n) to be output and its relative number X, the input/output control unit 241 performs the following operations. If the relative number to and relative number''
Find tx from x''.

In recognition data output processing 304, the recognition data is output to cxf:dx. After the recognition data output processing 304 is completed, a cluster fullness check processing 305 is performed to check whether there is an empty area within the cluster. In the case of n-1 recognition data of c - c, since there is a free area in the cluster 222, the processing by the write processing 202 is ended. In the case of recognition data cm, it is detected that the cluster 222 is full, and the process advances to update processing 306 in which the FAT information in the table 242 is updated. In update processing 306, if a secondary cluster is assigned, the next cluster number remains valid; if a primary cluster is not assigned, a free cluster is searched for, and the free cluster number is used as the next cluster number in the table. The FAT information on 242 is updated, and the processing by write processing 202 ends.

By the way, when the cluster becomes full with the immediately preceding data em, as in the case of recognition data cm+1.

Using the next cluster number obtained in the update process 9306,
Obtain 1m+1 in the recognition data output position calculation process 303,
Output recognition data cm+1 and write processing 202
Terminates processing.

In the increment process 203, the relative number of the output data 211 is incremented, and in the judgment process 204 it is determined whether or not the final data c1 has been output, and the write process 202, increment process 2032, and judgment process 204 are repeated until the output of the final data is finished. .

When the close process 205 after the final data output is started, the input/output control unit 241 transfers the format information on the table 242 updated by the update process 306 to the format information area 224 on the floppy disk at a distance t from the beginning. Output using .

In this embodiment, we have described the case where continuous recognition data is output to a discontinuous area consisting of two clusters.
Of course, it is also possible to output to an area consisting of two or more clusters.

(Effects of the Invention) As explained above, according to the data output method of the optical recognition device according to the present invention, for each recognition data.

Since the distance from the beginning on the storage medium is calculated and output, there is an advantage that it is possible to output in a data file format with discontinuous writing areas.
