Description

Book registration device and media recording program for book registration {BUSINESS FORM REGISTRATION DEVICE AND MEDIUM RECORDING PROGRAM FOR BUSINESS FORM REGISTRATION}

The present invention relates to a device for registering a book used to register information written in a book by text, and a medium recording a program used for the device.

For example, as a system for electronically registering and registering information written in chapters such as previous declarations and medical examination tables, as described in Patent Document 1, images of completed entries are imaged, and the image data is converted into characters. Some are configured to recognize characters and register the text data obtained thereby.

In such a system, when the text data registration side entrusts the character recognition to the outside, sending the image data of the target to the outside leads to the leakage of personal information.

Therefore, in the system disclosed in Patent Document 1, each of the image data of a plurality of chapters is divided for each item such as a name and a telephone number, and the items common among the divided image data are shuffled in a sequential order. Then, the personal information is protected by transmitting it to the character recognition means.

However, even if the divided image data in which the items are common in this way is shuffled, it can be said that the security for personal information is never high because it is relatively easy to guess which item is the transmitted divided image data.

Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2006-244315

Accordingly, the present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and its main task is to enhance the security in electronically registering and registering information written in a book.

That is, the target registration device according to the present invention includes a target image storage unit for storing a plurality of target image data imaged with a plurality of write-in targets, and each of the target image data is divided for each preset writing area of the target.

According to the target registration device configured in this way, for example, if "last name" and "first name" are set as different entry areas, the divided image data obtained by dividing the names of several people into first and last names is shuffled. It is almost impossible to guess, for example, the name of a specific person from their divided image data.

Also, for example, if a phone number or a postal code is delimited with characters less than the actual number of digits, and they are set to different entry areas, the divided image data is only a simple number already displayed, and even guesses the number of the item. It cannot be done.

In this way, according to the target registration apparatus according to the present invention, a plurality of divided image data including divided image data of different writing areas are shuffled so that at least the writing areas become out of order, and are transmitted to the character recognition means. Much more can be strengthened.

With such a configuration, since the unique name is included in the file name of the divided image data, for example, if it is decided to transmit the divided image data in alphabetical or numeric order of the file name, it is possible to simply shuffle a plurality of divided image data. have.

Security enhancement and data processing time are in a trade-off relationship. For example, the more split image data that is shuffled, the security is enhanced, while the time required for data processing is longer.

Therefore, it is preferable that the number of sheets to be used as a basis for a plurality of divided image data shuffled by the divided image shuffle section is set in advance, and that the set number of sheets can be changed.

With such a configuration, the user can change the number of settings in consideration of the desired security and the desired data processing time, which makes the user more convenient to use.

In order to make the apparatus usable even in such a case, a non-transmission area setting unit that receives an address area excluded from the transmission target of the divided image transmission unit among the address areas set in the book, and sets the address area as a non-transmission area It is preferable to further provide.

With such a configuration, by setting an item that cannot be transmitted to the outside as a non-transmission area, the apparatus according to the present invention can be used for the remaining transmittable items.

A data output unit for outputting a plurality of text integration data created by the text integration unit, and a data extraction unit that receives text integration data excluded from the output target of the data output unit and sets the text integration data as non-output data. It is preferable to further provide.

With such a configuration, among the text integrated data, for example, it is possible to take out items that need to be re-confirmed, so as not to be output as they are, and re-confirm later.

In addition, a medium recording a program for registering a target according to the present invention includes a target image storage unit for storing a plurality of target image data imaged with a plurality of write-in targets, and each of the target image data for each preset writing area of the target. An image dividing unit for dividing and creating a plurality of divided image data, a divided image shuffling unit for shuffling a plurality of divided image data including divided image data in different writing areas, such that at least the writing area is in order, and shuffled A divided image transmitting unit that transmits a plurality of the divided image data to a character recognition means, a divided text receiving unit that receives divided text data as a result of character recognition of each of the divided image data, and a plurality of pieces based on common target image data It is characterized by exerting a function as a text integration unit to create text integration data by integrating the divided text data of the above.

A book registration apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

The book registration device 1 of this embodiment is used for electronically registering information written in the book P, and as shown in FIG. 1, such as imaging means 2 such as a scanner or OCR. The book registration system (X) is constructed together with the character recognition means (3).

First, the sheet P is briefly described with reference to FIG. 2.

The sheet P is an entry sheet provided with an entry column P1 for each of a plurality of entry items. Items to be filled in include "name", "date of birth", "address", "phone number", and "gender". The entry field P1 is surrounded by a border line here, and if there is also one entry area P2 provided, for example, the entry field P1 for the entry item "sex", for example, "the name There are some subdivided into a plurality of writing areas P2, such as the writing area P2 of "last name" and the writing area P2 of "first name" for the writing item called "." In other words, one or a plurality of writing areas P2 are set in advance in the writing field P1.

Next, the sheet registration device 1 will be described.

The target registration device 1 is a dedicated or general purpose computer equipped with a CPU, memory, input/output interface, and the like, by cooperating with a CPU or other peripheral devices in accordance with the target registration program stored in the memory, As shown in Fig. 3, the template storage section 11, the target image storage section 12, the file name changing section 13, the reference table creation section 15, the image division section 16, and the divided image shuffle section ( 18), configured to exert functions as the divided image transmission unit 20, the divided text reception unit 21, the text integration unit 23, and the like.

Hereinafter, the operation up to registration of information by the target registration system X using the target registration device 1 will be described with reference to the functional block diagram of FIG. 3 and the flow of FIG. do. In addition, various image data described below may be image data, or may be data obtained by converting image data into character strings.

First, as shown in FIG. 5, the user is a template file composed of a plurality of template information in which the position of the writing area P2 provided in the book mark P and the item name for the writing area P2 are associated at least. Write (S1).

Specifically, using the input means such as a mouse, keyboard, or touch panel, the writing area P2 set in the book mark P is selected, and an item name for the writing area P2 is input. Thereby, coordinates and item names indicating the position of the writing area P2 are associated as template information, and the template information is stored in the template storage unit 11 set in a predetermined area of the hard disk of the apparatus 1. In addition, as template information, in addition to the coordinates and item names of the writing area P2, for example, the type of characters (for example, numbers, alphabets, etc.) written in the writing area P2 or the number of rows in the writing area P2 ( You may associate additional information regarding the writing area P2, such as a row. Further, the template storage unit 11 may be set as an auxiliary storage device such as an SSD.

On the other hand, a plurality of write-in target sheets P are imaged using imaging means 2 such as a scanner (S2). Then, the imaged target image data is input to the apparatus 1, and a plurality of target image data is stored in the target image storage section 12 set in a predetermined area of the hard disk of the apparatus 1. In addition, the target image storage unit 12 may be set as an auxiliary storage device such as an SSD.

Next, the file name changing unit 13 uniqueizes each file name of the target image data stored in the target image storage unit 12 to a unique file name (S3).

Specifically, the file name changing unit 13 sequentially obtains the target image data from the target image storage unit 12, and for each target image data, consists of a plurality of character strings and generates different first unique keys. . The first unique key generated is added immediately before the file name when the target image data is acquired. For example, if the file name of the acquired target image data is abc, and the first unique key generated for this target image data is 3f2504E0, the file name after being unique is 3f2504E0.abc. Then, the target image data whose file name is unique is stored in the unique file storage unit 14 set in a predetermined area of the hard disk of the apparatus 1. Further, the unique file storage unit 14 may be set as an auxiliary storage device such as an SSD.

The method of uniqueizing the file name is not limited to the above, and may be appropriately changed, for example, by replacing the file name when obtaining target image data with the generated first unique key as the file name after being unique. none.

Subsequently, as shown in Fig. 6, the reference table creation unit 15 creates a reference table that associates the file name after uniqueization, the item name included in the template information, and the second unique key generated for each item name. (S4). The reference table creation unit 15 is a function exerted by on-memory. However, the function as the reference table creation unit 15 may be exerted by techniques such as an on-memory database or a virtual drive.

Specifically, the reference table creation unit 15 refers to a plurality of item names stored as template information in the template storage unit 11, and each of these item names is composed of a plurality of character strings and is different from each other in a second unique key. Produces

A plurality of item names and a second unique key generated for each item name are associated with the file name after the uniqueization of one target image data, that is, the file name including the first unique key. Further, as the reference table, additional information included in the template information may be further associated.

The reference table creation unit 15 sequentially performs the above-described operation on the target image data for the preset number of sheets. Thereby, in the creation of a single reference table, the reference table creation unit 15 is produced by the number of the above-described number of settings multiplied by the number (item number) of the item names stored in the template storage unit 11. 2 Unique key is generated.

In addition, the number of settings can be changed. Specifically, when the user inputs the number of settings using an input means such as a keyboard, the setting number change unit (not shown) receives the input value and the number of settings is changed.

Thereafter, the image division unit 16 acquires the target image data from the unique file storage unit 14, and as shown in FIG. 7, the target image data is divided for each writing area P2 to divide the image data. Write (S5). In addition, the image division unit 16 is a function exerted by on-memory. However, the function as the image division unit 16 may be exerted by techniques such as an on-memory database or a virtual drive.

Specifically, the image division unit 16 refers to the template storage unit 11 to obtain coordinates of the writing area P2 corresponding to each item name, and target image data for each writing area P2 indicated by these coordinates Divide.

Then, the image dividing unit 16 refers to the reference table, and as shown in Fig. 7, the second unique key associated with each item name is used as the file name of each divided image data. In addition, the file name of the divided data does not necessarily have to consist only of the second unique key, and for example, if it includes at least the second unique key, another character string may be added after the second unique key.

The image division unit 16 divides the target image data for target image data for a set number of copies. Thereby, the divided image data is generated by the number of the above-described number of settings multiplied by the number of item names (number of items) stored in the template storage unit 11. In addition, these file names contain different second unique keys, all of which have different unique file names.

And among these divided image data, a plurality of divided image data of different writing areas P2 are included.

In more detail, for example, in the creation of the above-described template file, if the "last name" and "first name" of the sheet P are set as different writing areas P2, the image dividing section 16 Among the plurality of divided image data created, the divided image data of "last name" written in the sheet P for the set number of copies and the divided image data of "name" written in the sheet P of the set number of sheets are mixed. .

In addition, although it is different from FIG. 7, if, for example, each digit of a postal code or each digit of a telephone number is set as a different writing area P2, the plural created by the image dividing section 16 Among the divided image data of, the divided image data of each digit of the zip code and each digit of the phone number written in the sheet P of the set number of copies are mixed.

However, the setting method of the writing area P2 is not limited to the above-described aspect, and may be appropriately changed by the user.

Then, these divided image data are stored in the divided image storage unit 17 set in a predetermined area of the hard disk of the apparatus 1. Further, the divided image storage unit 17 may be set as an auxiliary storage device such as an SSD.

Next, as shown in Fig. 8, the divided image shuffle section 18 shuffles a plurality of divided image data stored in the divided image storage section 17 so that at least the writing area P2 is in floating order. (S6).

Specifically, the divided image shuffling unit 18 determines the transmission order of the divided image data by the divided image transmission unit 20, which will be described later, by determining the file name of the divided image data according to a predetermined rule. The writing area P2 is made irregular.

The predetermined rule includes, for example, an alphabetical order, a numerical order, or a combination of these, and the divided image shuffling section 18 divides the divided image data into the divided image storage section 17 in this predetermined order. It is sequentially acquired from and arranged.

Further, the divided image shuffle section 18 here refers to the reference table described above, and additional information associated with the second unique key used for the file name of the divided image data obtained from the divided image storage section 17, It is attached to the divided image data. Thereby, the character recognition means 3 described later can perform character recognition using this additional information.

In this embodiment, in order to suppress the amount of data transmitted at one time by the divided image transmission unit 20 described later, the divided image shuffle unit 18 is a predetermined number continuously acquired from the divided image storage unit 17. The divided image data of are organized as one transmission data group.

Thereafter, it is determined whether or not all the divided image data stored in the divided image storage unit 17, that is, the divided image data of the number of the above-described set number multiplied by the number of items, are acquired and shuffled by the divided image shuffling unit 18. It is judged (S7).

If all of the divided image data stored in the divided image storage unit 17 are not shuffled, the operation by the divided image shuffle unit 18 is repeated.

On the other hand, when all of the divided image data stored in the divided image storage unit 17 are shuffled, the reference table created by the reference table creation unit 15 described above is deleted from the on-memory, and the hard disk of the device 1 It is accumulated in the reference table accumulation unit 19 set in the predetermined area of (S8). Note that the reference table storage unit 19 may be set as an auxiliary storage device such as an SSD.

When the reference table is deleted from the on-memory, it is then determined whether the target image data stored in the target image storage unit 12 remains (S9).

When the target image data remains in the target image storage 12, the operations from S3 to S9 are repeated.

On the other hand, if the target image data stored in the target image storage unit 12 does not exist, the divided image transmission unit 20 sends the shuffled divided image data to the character recognition means 3 for each data group for transmission. Transmit (S10). In addition, since the character recognition means 3 is external to the apparatus 1 and is operated by a different person from the user of the apparatus 1, the divided image transmitter 20 sees the divided image data. It is output to the outside of (1).

The character recognition means 3 character-recognizes each of the divided image data transmitted by the divided image transmitter 20, and creates divided text data that is the result obtained thereby (S11). Here, the character recognition means 3 is configured to inherit the file name of the divided image data, that is, the second unique key, as the file name of the divided text data, and the divided text data created in this way is from the character recognition means 3 It is input to the device 1.

The input divided text data is received by the divided text receiving unit 21 of the apparatus 1 and stored in the divided text storage unit 22 set in a predetermined area of the hard disk of the apparatus 1 (S12). . Further, the divided text storage unit 22 may be set as an auxiliary storage device such as an SSD.

Thereafter, the text integration unit 23 combines a plurality of divided text data based on common target image data among the plurality of divided text data to create text integrated data (S13).

Specifically, the text integration unit 23 refers to the reference table accumulated in the reference table storage unit 19 described above, and the file name of the target image data associated with the second unique key used for the file name of the divided text data ( The first unique key) is specified, and the divided text data in which this file name (first unique key) is common is specified as based on common target image data.

Then, after specifying all the divided text data based on the common target image data, referring to the reference table again, the item name associated with the second unique key used in the file name of each divided text data is specified, and each divided text The character string represented by the data is recognized as the character string written as the specific item name.

Here, the text integration unit 23, after creating the text integration data, displays on the display a character string represented by each divided text data constituting the text integration data.

Specifically, the text integration unit 23 acquires the target image data, which is the basis of the divided text data, from the unique file storage unit 14, and makes it possible to compare the image of the target chapter and the character string indicated by the divided text data. Display.

Further, instead of acquiring the target image data from the unique file storage unit 14 or in addition to acquiring the target image data, the divided image data corresponding to the divided text data is obtained from the divided image storage unit 17, and The character string and the divided image may be displayed for comparison.

Here, the apparatus 1 is configured to be able to modify the character string indicated by the divided text data.

For example, when the character string displayed by the misrecognition of the character recognition means 3 is included in the character string displayed by the text integration unit 23, for example, an input means such as a mouse, keyboard, or touch panel is used. The character string can be modified, and the character string after the modification is updated as the character string indicated by the divided text data.

As described above, the text integration data created by the text integration unit 23 can be output by the data output unit 24.

The data output unit 24 outputs the text integrated data in a predetermined output format. Here, the text integrated data for a plurality of sheets is collectively used, for example, in a character string represented by the divided text data and the divided text data. The corresponding item name is identifiably output, for example, in a table format (S14).

The apparatus 1 receives the text integration data excluded from the output target of the data output unit 24 among the plurality of text integration data created by the text integration unit 23, and the text integration data is non-output data. A function as the data retrieval unit 25 set as is further provided.

More specifically, for example, among the text integration data displayed and displayed by the text integration unit 23, for example, the written handwritten character itself cannot be read, or the gender is selected for both men and women, etc. , For text-integrated data that requires reconfirmation, the text-integrated data can be selected by, for example, a mouse or a touch panel.

Thereby, the selected text integration data is received by the data retrieval unit 25, is set as non-output data, and is excluded from the object of batch output by the data output unit 24. Moreover, various comments, such as the reason for re-confirmation, can also be written about the set non-output data.

According to the target registration device 1 configured in this way, for example, since divided image data obtained by dividing several people's names into first and last names is shuffled, it is almost impossible to guess, for example, the names of specific persons from the divided image data. Do.

In addition, if, for example, shuffling the divided image data obtained by dividing a phone number or a postal code into digits less than the actual number of digits, it is difficult to guess which number of items was merely a mere number of numbers. .

In this way, according to the target registration device 1 according to the present invention, a plurality of divided image data of different writing areas P2 are shuffled so that the writing areas P2 become out of order and transmitted to the character recognition means 3 Therefore, the security can be strengthened much more than before.

Further, since the second unique key is used for the file name of the divided image data, a plurality of divided image data can be easily shuffled by arranging the plurality of divided image data such that the file names are in alphabetical order or numeric order.

In addition, since the set number of sheets P based on a plurality of shuffled divided image data can be changed, the user can change the number of settings in consideration of the desired height of the security and data processing time. It becomes more convenient to use.

Furthermore, since the text data retrieval unit 25 is set as text integrated data non-output data to be excluded from the output target of the data output unit 24, among text integrated data, for example, it is necessary to reconfirm the written content. The same thing can be taken out so that it is not output as it is, and can be reconfirmed later.

[0063]

In addition, this invention is not limited to the said embodiment.

For example, depending on the user, some of the items written in the sheet P may be contracted as not to be transmitted to the outside.

Therefore, as the target registration device 1, as shown in Fig. 9, among the writing areas P2 set in the target table P, the writing area P2 excluded from the transmission target of the divided image transmitting unit 20 is received. , A non-transmission area setting unit 26 that sets the write area P2 as a non-transmission area may be further provided.

Specifically, for example, in the creation of the template file, if the item name is input in a predetermined mode, the non-transmission area setting unit 26 sets the writing area P2 associated with the item name input in the mode. Set as a non-transmission area. Moreover, as a predetermined aspect, the method of adding a predetermined letter, and inputting it before, after, or before and after an item name is mentioned, for example.

Further, the template file in which one or a plurality of writing areas P2 are set as the non-transmitting areas may be output from the template storage section 11 to the text integration section 23.

With such a configuration, the text string of the non-transmission area can be input and added by the operator to the text integration data created by the text integration unit 23.

Thereby, the character string written in the non-transmission area is automatically included in the text integration data, and the character string written in the non-transmission area can be manually included in the text integration data without being output to the outside.

With such a configuration, the item registration device 1 according to the present invention can be used for the remaining transmittable items according to the agreement by setting items that cannot be transmitted to the outside as a non-transmission area.

In addition, in the above-described configuration, as the image division unit 16, the divided image data of the non-transmission area set by the non-transmission area setting unit 26 may or may not be created. When creating the divided image data in the non-transmitted area, it is sufficient that the divided data shuffle section is configured not to acquire the divided image data in the non-transmitted area from the divided image storage section 17.

In addition, although the divided image transmission unit 20 of the above-described embodiment transmits the divided image data to the character recognition means 3 in units of transmission data groups generated by the divided image shuffle unit 18, the divided image data is transmitted. You may send them one by one, or you may send them all at once.

In addition, modifications and combinations of various embodiments may be performed as long as they are not contrary to the spirit of the present invention.
