Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] 3. Detailed Description of the Invention [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a data reading device, and is particularly suitable for reading input data from a computer or the like and comparing it with original data. The present invention relates to a data reading device.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, a method of reading out the input data aloud has not been used to check whether data input into a computer, etc. (data from slips, technical calculations, programs, etc.) has been input correctly according to the original data. It wasn't.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

The conventional collation work and its problems are shown below.

(1) Mechanically collating the data entered by two punchers → It is effective if the punchers are experienced, but if they are amateurs, the efficiency of the collation process will drop significantly.

(2) Display the input data on the VDT and compare it with the data sheet → Eye movement becomes aS, which is tiring and reduces the efficiency of verification work.

(3) One person reads out either the input data displayed on the VDT or the data on the data sheet, and the other person listens to it while looking at other data and collating it → It is efficient, but requires two people. , and reading out loud causes fatigue.

(4) Print out the input data and check it on your desk by superimposing it on the data sheet → Eye movements will be reduced, so it will be better than (2), but each time,
To make the printer print.

It takes time and paper money.

[Means for solving problems]

The present invention relates to a data reading device that mechanically reads out data input to a computer or the like using voice.

When using a data reading device for verification work, you can listen to the input data with your ears, allowing your eyes to concentrate on the data on the data sheet, and you can handle the data sheet and track the read data with one hand to ensure accuracy. Therefore, even an amateur can perform verification work reliably and efficiently.

However, even with a data reading device, for example, when uppercase and lowercase letters are mixed, such as the alphabet "Japan", if you simply read out (Omojinojiei, Komodinoei, Komodinopi, Komodinoei, Komodinoei),
This poses a problem in that it not only takes time to read out the text, but also causes discomfort to the operator.

The purpose of the present invention is to read out alphabetical characters.

When uppercase and lowercase letters are mixed, shorten the reading time and
To provide a data reading device that accurately reads data without causing discomfort to an operator.

[Effect]

Alphabetical data to be read out is identified in advance as uppercase or lowercase, and is given to the data reading device. Therefore, it is possible to determine whether an uppercase letter is a lowercase letter by sequentially checking which letter in the alphabetic string of the data is an uppercase letter or a lowercase letter.

〔Example〕

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIG. yX
The data of the data sheet 11 is input in advance by key-in input or the like, and is stored on the floppy disk 12. The operation of comparing the original data on the data sheet 11 with the input data on the floppy disk 12 is performed as follows.

The floppy disk 12 is set in the input data memory section 2 prior to work. The reading data processing section 1 retrieves data from the input data memory section 2 according to a predetermined data reading procedure.

Based on the reading command, the speech synthesis processing section 5 displays the message on the VDT 3 and issues a reading command to the speech synthesis processing section 5.
Audio digital data stored in the audio data memory section 6 in advance is taken out and sent to the audio reproduction processing section 7. The audio reproduction processing unit 7 converts the audio digital data into analog audio and transmits it to the ears of the operator 10 via the headphones 9.

The operator 1o compares and collates the input data heard with the ears and the data on the data sheet 11 held in the hand. In the unlikely event that a discrepancy occurs, press the foot switch 8
When stepped on, the speech synthesis processing section 5 informs the speech data processing section 1 of what the speech data is, and based on this, the speech data processing section 1 controls the cursor of the VDT 3 to the speech data display position. The operator 10 operates the foot switch 8
After the operation, when the figure is turned to the VDT 3 using the data sheet 11, the cursor is set at the incorrect data position, so the keyboard 4 is used to correct the data. The corrected data is sent to the input data memory section 2 via the read-out data processing section 1, and incorrect data on the program disc 12 is corrected.

FIG. 2 shows details of the reading data processing section 1 of FIG. 1 in this embodiment.

In FIG. 2, input data 19 read out from the input data memory section 2 to the input data receiving section 13 can be written into the input data register 14. The reading data creation unit 15 is
The data in the input data register 14 is checked sequentially starting from the first digit, digit by digit, to see if it is an uppercase letter or not.
It is determined whether it is a lower case letter or not, and the result is written to the reading data register 16. The upper register indicates the type of uppercase letter, and the lower register indicates the type of lowercase letter.

The reading data determination unit 17 uses a preset gender sound determination register 18 that selects a male voice for uppercase letters and a female voice for lowercase letters.
Then, it is determined whether the upper case letters in the read data register 16 should be used, that is, a male voice, or the lower case letters, that is, a female voice should be used, and the read data 20 is created. Second
The figure shows the case where the first letter is uppercase and the following are lowercase letters, so the parts indicated by are changed to uppercase letters, so that the word "Japan" is read aloud with a male voice (Jiei) and two female voices (Ei, B-A, N). , or, instead of saying lowercase letters, have them utter them in a male and female voice. Here, the uppercase letters are used as male voices and the lowercase letters are used as female voices, but the reverse may also be used, and the exact same effect can be achieved by making it possible to distinguish only male voices or only female voices.

〔Effect of the invention〕

According to the present invention, it is possible to collate and check the original data on the data sheet visually while listening to the input data with the ears, so that even an amateur can easily and efficiently collate the data. Because they are differentiated, reading time can be shortened and operator discomfort can be reduced.
