Abstract

PURPOSE:To shorten a collation processing time by extracting a reference seal print through a retrieving action after the input of a retrieval code and at the same time actuating a reading device to read a seal print to be collated. CONSTITUTION:An operator feeds an account number by means of ten keys on a keyboard 5. Then a CPU-2 in a main body controller 1 reads out the corresponding retrieval addresses within a retrieval table memory 31. The corresponding reference seal print is read out of an optical disk 30 and stored to a frame memory 16. A reader 4 reads the seal print on an application form by an optical scan according to the display of a display part 10 after the input operations are through with the keyboard. At the same time, the read-out seal print is converted into binary signals through a threshold value processing and displayed on the color CRT10 together with the reference seal print stored in the memory 16. Thus the collation processing is carried out.
