Abstract

PURPOSE:To correct easily the ideograph by a writer himself by providing (n) candidate data for one character of a data input by hand-writing. CONSTITUTION:When the character is hand-written by a ball-point pen 14 on the journal paper 13 of a hand-writing input device, a hand-writing pattern is extracted by an electromagnetic field recognizing plate 12. The registering pattern and matching in a pattern recognizing dictionary part 15 are obtained, and in a candidate dictionary part 16, the pattern data from the first candidate to the fifth candidate are guided. By position coordinate coding data from a writing position coordinate detecting part 17 and a detecting coordinate coding part 18 and the character recognizing data of the first candidate - the fifth candidate, the first candidate only is collected and displayed on a CRT displaying device 2. When it is inputted from a touch panel 3 that a character 31 is erroneous, the character data from the second candidate to the fifth candidate for an error character 31 are added and displayed, the touch panel 3 is used from a displaying character group 32, the correct character is selected and the character can be instantaneously corrected.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a handwritten character data processing method, and more particularly to a handwritten character data processing method for use in a data processing device for an unspecified number of general public.

Prior Art Conventionally, this type of data input method for general public has been either data input using a keyboard as seen on personal computers, or ATV at financial institutions.
(Automatic Te1lers Machi
ne).

In most cases, data is entered using a combination of a magnetic card such as a CD (Cash Dispenser) and a keyboard. OCR (Optical Character
Reader), it is a batch badge processing of handwritten characters written on a specific form, and it lacks immediate processing, and character corrections are often done by a third party rather than the author himself. . Therefore, the use of handwritten input was also limited.

As mentioned above, in the conventional data input method using manual characters as shown in the OCR example, character corrections are often done by three people, and batch badge processing is performed using specific forms, so for example, bank transfer requests In order to realize a system that mechanizes and automates the process from filling out forms such as requests for issuance of seal registration at city hall to completing processing, real-time processing, recording of handwriting, and correction of characters by the writer themselves are necessary, but this is not possible with conventional technology. The drawback was that it couldn't be done.

The present invention is a method that streamlines office work for an unspecified number of ordinary people and facilitates mechanization, which has been difficult to achieve in the past, so that handwritten characters can be easily corrected by the author himself. The purpose is to provide a method for processing calligraphy data.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a handwritten character data processing method that enables prompt handling of troubles that occur after data processing by making it possible to record the handwriting of a writer. It is to be.

nrqrr>m The handwritten character data processing method according to the present invention recognizes the pattern of flat characters and selects candidate characters to be the target of this recognition result from the first to the nth (n is the second) for each handwritten character. a handwritten character recognition means that generates candidates up to (an integer above), and selects and visually displays each first candidate character from the first to nth candidate characters obtained for each of the handwritten characters. In response to a correction instruction regarding the display character displayed on the display means, the display means displays second and subsequent candidates for the display character for which the correction instruction has been given, and displays the displayed character on the visible display means. This configuration allows the correct character to be selected and specified from among the characters after the second candidate.

Another handwritten character data processing system according to the present invention has a configuration in which, in addition to the above configuration, a recording means for recording handwriting of handwritten characters is provided.

Embodiment FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an embodiment of the present invention, which includes a handwriting input device @ 1, a CRT display device 2, a touch panel input device 3, and a magnetic card (bank card) reading device @
4, a receipt printing device 5, and a processing device 6 including a communication function with a host computer, and is an example of an automatic transaction machine used in a bank.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the detailed configuration of the handwriting input device 1, which is the core of the present invention, and includes a handwriting input plate 11, an electromagnetic field recognition plate 12, a journal paper 13, and a device that generates a magnetic field. By handwriting characters with the ballpoint pen 14 on the journal paper 13, the handwritten pattern is extracted by the electromagnetic field recognition plate 12, and the handwriting of the characters is recorded on the journal paper 13. .

The handwritten pattern extracted is matched with a registered pattern in the pattern recognition dictionary unit 15, and the matching data is used in the candidate dictionary unit 16 to derive pattern data from, for example, the first candidate to the fifth candidate. It has become so.

Furthermore, an entry position coordinate detection section 17 and a detection coordinate encoding section 18 are provided, and the handwritten handwriting entry plate 1 is
The entry position coordinates of 1 are extracted by the entry position coordinate detection unit 17. The detected coordinate encoding unit 1 converts the extracted detected coordinates into coded data that can be processed by the data processing device 6.
It is converted at step 8.

FIG. 3 shows an example of a display on the CRT display device 2. As shown in FIG. Based on the position coordinate coded data given from the handwriting device 1 described above and the character In data of the first to fifth candidates, only the first candidate is collected and displayed on the CRT display device 2, and touch panel input device 3
The CRT after the author was forced to input that character 31 of the first candidate data on the CRT display device 2 was incorrect.
This is an example of a display state of the display device 2. A portion indicated by 32 is a portion where character data from the second candidate to the fifth candidate for the error character 31 is additionally displayed.

At this stage, the writer can immediately correct the character by selecting the correct character from the additionally displayed character group 32 from the second candidate to the fifth candidate using the touch panel input device 3. . FIG. 4 is a schematic processing flow diagram of the automatic transfer machine explained in FIG.
This is the part indicated by 1. Transfer recipient name and bank name in handwritten characters.

It is assumed that data such as bank transfer amount is processed by the 1-1OST computer, and the automatic transfer machine according to the example of the present invention converts handwritten input data into a data code that can be processed by the HO8T computer. It is assumed that it has a function.

1 Correction 11 As explained above, according to the present invention, by providing n candidate data for one character in handwritten data input, it is possible to easily correct characters by the writer himself/herself, and further, By providing a handwriting recording function, mechanization for the purpose of streamlining office work for an unspecified number of ordinary people, which has been difficult to implement in the past, becomes relatively easy. Therefore, it is possible to deal with troubles after processing using handwriting records, so if it is used to mechanize automatic transactions involving money, etc., it will have a great effect.
