Abstract

PURPOSE:To recognize not only image information from a scanner part but the image information from a remote terminal such as a facsimile, etc., and the image information in a magnetic disk device and an optical disk device, by providing an attribute information judging part. CONSTITUTION:The attribute information judging part 20 analyzes inputted attribute information, and sends analyzed attribute information to an image information expanding part 30 and a handwritten character conversion part 40. The image information except a handwritten character area is sent to an output interface 70 via the image information expanding part 30. A handwritten character recognition part 50 refers to the character pattern information of a storage part 60, and recognizes the character pattern information from the handwritten character conversion part 40, and after encoding it, sends it to the output interface part 70. In such a way, it is possible to recognize not only the image information from the scanner part but the image information from the remote terminal such as the facsimile, etc., and the image information in the magnetic disk device and the optical disk device.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to an image information character recognition control device, and particularly to an image information character recognition control device that can process not only image information from a scanner section of an optical image reading device, but also information from a remote terminal such as a facsimile. Image information, image information stored in magnetic disks and optical disk devices can be recognized, and even if the part to be recognized when recognizing this image information is a single handwritten character, this recognized part can be converted into a predetermined character or pattern. Convert and
The present invention relates to an image information character recognition control device that performs recognition.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, in this type of image information character recognition control device, a scanner section for reading image information and an image information recognition section are generally integrated, and therefore, image information is input only from the scanner section. Ru. Furthermore, when recognizing handwritten characters, the system recognizes characters written on special paper or characters written by imitating sample characters.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

As mentioned above, the conventional image information character recognition control device is
The scanner section for reading image information and the image information recognition section are integrated.

As a result, image information cannot be input except from the scanner section, and image information from remote terminals such as facsimiles, image information in magnetic disk devices and optical disk devices cannot be recognized by the image information recognition section. .

Furthermore, conventional image information character recognition control devices recognize image information by referring to predetermined character patterns stored in a storage device.

Characters written in A' turns other than the predetermined A turns cannot be recognized, and in order to recognize characters written in all G turns, all letters and turns must be stored in the memory. And that's the result.

There is a problem in that the memory capacity required for recognition increases.

[Means for solving problems]

According to the present invention, the determining section receives attribute information and analyzes the attribute information; the image information decompressing section receives image information and restores the image information based on the analyzed attribute information; Among the restored image information, there is a converter that converts the part specified by the attribute information analyzed above into a predetermined character/guttern, and a converter that converts the converted part into a predetermined character pattern. There is obtained an image information character recognition control device characterized in that it has a recognition section that refers to the image information and converts it into a recognition code, and outputs the encoded information together with the restored image information.

〔Example〕

Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to examples.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing one embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 1, an input interface 10 is connected to an attribute information determining section 20 via an input information bus 8 (1), and the attribute information determining section 20 is connected to an image information decompressing section 30 via an input information bus 80. Further, the attribute information determining section 20 is connected to the image information decompression section 30 and the handwritten character conversion section 40 via the control bus 81.The image information decompression section 30 is connected to the image bus 82tJ'i. and is connected to the output interface 70.

Further, this image information decompression section 30 is connected to a handwritten character converting section 40 via a handwritten character bus 83, and the handwritten character converting section 40 is connected to a handwritten character bus 83 through a handwritten character recognizing section 50. and is connected to the output interface 70 via a handwritten character bus 83. Further, the 1 handwritten character recognition unit 50 is connected to the storage unit 60 by a handwritten character recognition unit 83.

Image information to which attribute information indicating the compression method, the size of the image information, and the handwritten character area is added is input to the attribute information determination unit 20 via the input interface.

The attribute information determination section 20 analyzes the attribute information, and sends the analyzed attribute information to the image information expansion section 30 and the handwritten character conversion section 40 via the control bus 81. Further, only the image information is sent to the image information decompression section 30 via the input information bus 80. The image information decompression unit 30 decompresses the image information based on the attribute information.

Image information excluding the handwritten character area is transferred to image bus 8.
2 to the output interface 70. On the other hand, the image information corresponding to 11 handwritten areas is input to the handwritten character converter 40, and is converted into image information of a predetermined size such as a recognizable character) or turn.
The handwritten character recognition unit 50 receives the handwritten character through the handwritten character bus 83 .

The storage unit 60 stores a plurality of predetermined character turn information, and the handwritten character recognition unit 50″ reads the encoded character turn information from the storage unit 60 via the handwritten character bus 83. is the output interface section 70
and is output together with the image information from the image information decompression unit 30.

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, in the present invention, since the attribute information determination section is provided, it is possible to receive not only image information from the scanner section, but also image information from the scanner section.
Image information from remote terminals such as fax machines,
This has the effect of allowing image information in the magnetic disk device and optical disk device to be recognized. It also has a handwritten character conversion unit.

It can also recognize different letters A-turn letters. This has the effect of reducing the capacity of characters and mother turns stored in the storage unit.
