図形の ¾子化方法 [技術分野] Geometry conversion method [Technical field]
この発明は、 図形の電子化方法に関し、 詳しくは図形を伴う文 中で、 ィメ ージデ一夕に識別用の文字コードデ一夕を結合する図形の電子化方法に関する。 The present invention relates to a method for digitizing a figure, and more particularly to a method for digitizing a figure in which a character code for identification is combined with an image in a sentence accompanied by the figure.
[背景技術】 [Background Art]
近年通信回線分を使用して、 一方の計算機と他方の計算機とを接続して、 用紙 に印刷した契約書等を電子化して交換したり、 公的機関への提出書を電子化して 転送することが実用化されている。 In recent years, one computer is connected to the other computer using the communication line, and the contract printed on paper is digitized and exchanged, and the submission to public authorities is digitized and transferred. Has been put to practical use.
このように電子化した契約書や提出書には以前では稀であった図面や設計図等 が多く含まれるようになつている。 これら図面や設計図等は単に説明的なものに 限られず、 契約や提出内容に深く関わり、 重要な位置を占めるので、 各図面ゃ設 計図等について識別番号を付し、 何図を契約内容とどのように結合するなど明確 にする必要がある。 Such electronic contracts and submissions now include many drawings and design drawings that were rare in the past. These drawings and blueprints are not limited to explanatory ones, but are deeply involved in the contract and the contents of the submission, and occupy an important position. It is necessary to clarify how to combine them.
従って計算機間或いは計算機と小型のパソコン間では文字コ一ドのいわゆる文 書とイメージデータの図面や設計図等とが有機的に一義的にリンクされることが 特に要求される。 Therefore, between computers or between a computer and a small personal computer, it is particularly required that a so-called character code document and a drawing or design drawing of image data be organically and uniquely linked.
公的機関への提出書として例えば、 特許出願書類があり、 特許出願書類では、 文字コードの "第 1図"には所定の図形が、 "第 2図"には別の図形が、 "第 3図" には別の図形等がそれぞれ指定され、 これらは互いに独立に識別される。 For example, there are patent application documents as submissions to public authorities. In the patent application documents, the character code "Fig. 1" has a predetermined figure, "Fig. 2" has another figure, and " In Figure 3 ", different figures etc. are specified, and these are identified independently of each other.
特許出願書類の電子化では、 用紙対応の計算機の画面の上方の行に文字コード の "第 1図" を表示し、 それ以降の行にこの第 1図に対応する所定の図形を、 光 学読取装置によりイメージデ一夕として取り込み表示するようにしている。 In the digitization of patent application documents, the character code "Fig. 1" is displayed in the upper line of the screen of a computer corresponding to paper, and a predetermined figure corresponding to this Fig. 1 is optically displayed in subsequent lines. The reading device captures and displays the image as an image.
第 5図では例えば、 一枚の A 4型用紙 1上に 2種類の例えば三角形の図形 2と 四角形の図形 3とが描かれている。
図形 2には識別用に記号と文字からなる " il l図" が、 I 1形 3には "¾ 2図" を電子化の ¾終段階でそれぞれ付すものとする。 この用紙 1を光学読みとり装 ΐ¾ (以下 OCR またはスキャナと称す) により, み取り、 図形 2及び図形 3を卓上 計算機 (以下パソコンと う) に画像デ一夕として取り込み、 その画面に ¾示す る。 In FIG. 5, for example, two types of, for example, a triangular figure 2 and a square figure 3 are drawn on one A4 type sheet 1. Figure 2 has an “il figure” consisting of symbols and letters for identification, and I1 form 3 has a “¾2 figure” at the end of digitization. This paper 1 is read by an optical reading device (hereinafter referred to as OCR or scanner), and figures 2 and 3 are imported into a desktop computer (hereinafter referred to as a personal computer) as an image and displayed on the screen.
この際図形 2のイメージデータに対する認識符号"第 1図"、や図形 3のィメー ジデ一夕に対する認識符^ "^ 2図" とを文字データ (コードデータ) としてそ れぞれパソコンで処¾し、画而上ではイメージデータの各図形 2、 3に対応して、 文字データとして、 "第 1図"及び "第 2図" として表示する。 この画面を通信回 線分を利月]して、 離れたところの情報処理装置に送信している。 At this time, the recognition code "Figure 1" for the image data of Figure 2 and the recognition code ^ "^ 2 Figure" for the image data of Figure 3 are processed as character data (code data) by a personal computer. On the metaphor, corresponding to each of the figures 2 and 3 of the image data, they are displayed as character data as “FIG. 1” and “FIG. 2”. This screen is transmitted to the remote information processing device using the communication line segment.
従来では用紙 1上の図形をパソコン上に取り込むと、 用紙 1上で予め上方の例 えば 3行分が "第 1図" 文字コード領域に且つ 4行以下の範囲の全域がイメージ デ一夕の読み取り領域として認識されるので、 用紙 1中に複数の文字データ (コ ードデ一夕) 領域を自動的には設定できなかった。 In the past, when a figure on paper 1 was imported to a personal computer, the upper part of the paper, for example, three lines were in the “Chart 1” character code area, and the entire area of four lines or less was image data. Since it was recognized as a reading area, it was not possible to automatically set multiple character data (code / night) areas in paper 1.
イメージデータ領域中に文字データ (コードデ一夕) 領域を設定するには、 パ ソコンの画面上で、 イメージデ一夕の切り出し作業を行い、 文字デ一夕 (コード デ一夕) 領域を改めて設定するなどの処理をし、 その文字データ領域に文字 "第 2図" 等をワープロ入力するようにしていた。 To set the character data (code data) area in the image data area, perform the image data clipping work on the computer screen and set the character data (code data) area again. And input the word "Fig. 2" into the character data area.
従来の特許出願書類では、 同一用紙上に文字コードの "第 1図" に対応する所 定の図形と、 "第 2図" に対応する別の図形と、 "第 3図" に対応するまた別の図 形等とが複数記載さている場合は、 電子化の際人手によりいちいち "第 1図" に 対応する所定の図形と、 "第 2図" に対応する別の図形と、 "第 3図" に対応する また別の図形とを指定する作業を行う煩わしさがあった。 In the conventional patent application documents, the same figure corresponding to the character code "Fig. 1", another figure corresponding to "Fig. 2", and a figure corresponding to "Fig. When a plurality of different figures are described, a predetermined figure corresponding to “FIG. 1”, another figure corresponding to “FIG. 2”, It is troublesome to specify another figure corresponding to the figure.
このような対応付けを行わないと、 同一紙面上の全ての図形が、 "第 1図"に対 応する所定の図形となってしまい、 特許出願書類の文面内で混乱してしまうコ ト ことが予想された。 Without such correspondence, all the figures on the same page will become the predetermined figures corresponding to "Fig. 1", which will be confusing in the text of the patent application documents. Was expected.
この発明は、 複数の図形を含む文書を、 計算機間或いは計算機と小型のバソコ ン間で電子化する際に、 文字コードの文書とイメージデータの図面や設計図等と を有機的に一義的にリンクすることを目的とする。 更にこの発明では、 用紙上の
図形を読み取ってこの I形のイメージデータに対応して、 必耍に応じて r I動的に 文字データ領域を設^できるようにする。 According to the present invention, when a document including a plurality of figures is digitized between computers or between a computer and a small computer, the document of the character code and the drawings and design drawings of the image data are organically and uniquely defined. The purpose is to link. Furthermore, in this invention, By reading a figure, it is possible to dynamically set a character data area according to the I-shaped image data, if necessary.

次にこの発明の全体動作を第 4図から第 7図のフローチヤ一卜に従って説明す る。 Next, the overall operation of the present invention will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS.
第 2図の情報処理装置 1 0のパソコン等の電源入れると第 4図のスキャナ処理 のフローが開始する。 When the power of the personal computer or the like of the information processing apparatus 10 in FIG. 2 is turned on, the flow of the scanner processing in FIG. 4 starts.
ステップ S 1では、 C P U 6はプログラム R O M 9から読取プログラムや編集 プログラム a及び bを読み出し、 ワークメモリ R A M 7に展開する。 In step S1, the CPU 6 reads the reading program and the editing programs a and b from the program ROM 9, and expands them in the work memory RAM 7.
ステップ S 2では、 スキャナ 2 0はソ一夕一等上に供された図面の用紙 1を読 取プログラムに従い読みとる。 In step S2, the scanner 20 reads the sheet 1 of the drawing provided on the first and last days according to the reading program.
ステップ S 3では、 C P U 6は用紙 1の画像 (線分 4と図形) をワークメモリ R A M 7の記憶空間に 1ページとして記憶し、 第 1 ビッ トマップファイル (線分 4と図形) を作成し、 ページボイン夕ー jを j + 1と ( 1歩進) する。 In step S3, the CPU 6 stores the image of paper 1 (line 4 and figure) as one page in the storage space of the work memory RAM 7, and creates the first bitmap file (line 4 and figure). , Page Boyne-j to j + 1 (1 step forward).
ステップ S 4では、 C P U 6はスキャナ 2 0のソ一夕一上に次のページがある かどうか確かめ、 有ればステップ S 2に戻り、 次の用紙 1 Aをスキャンし 2ぺー ジ目の第 1 ビヅ トマツプファイル (B P F線分 4と図形) を拡大する。 以下同様 にステップ S 2からステップ S 4までを繰り返し、 提供された jページ分の第 1 ビッ トマップファイルを更に拡大する。 In step S4, the CPU 6 checks whether there is a next page on the entire surface of the scanner 20.If there is, returns to step S2, scans the next sheet 1A, and scans the first page of the second page. Enlarge the 1-bit map file (BPF line 4 and figure). Steps S2 to S4 are repeated in the same manner, and the first bitmap file for the provided j pages is further enlarged.
ステップ S 4で読み取る次のページがなければ(読み取り終了)、第 5図のト リ ミング処理に進む。 If there is no next page to be read in step S4 (reading is completed), the process proceeds to the trimming process in FIG.
ステップ S 5では、 C P U 6はワークメモリ R A M 7の記憶空間上の第 1 ビッ トマップファイルから 1ページ目のイメージデ一夕を読み込む。 ステップ S 6で
はページボイン夕 iを i + 1 と ( 1歩進) する。 In step S5, the CPU 6 reads the image data of the first page from the first bitmap file in the storage space of the work memory RAM7. In step S6 Will make the page boyne i i + 1 (1 step forward).
ステップ S 7では、 C P U 6は線分 4 ^がィ /るか かを調べ、 無ければそのぺ ージを破棄しステップ S 5に^り次のページを読み込む。 In step S7, the CPU 6 checks whether the line segment 4 ^ is present, and if not, discards the page and returns to step S5 to read the next page.
線分 4等があれば、 ステップ S 8に進み、 Ad 1 ビッ トマップファイルから線分 4と組の図形 2 ( '^ 3 ) を第 1図に示すマージンを付けて図形デ一夕のみを切 り出す。 If there is a line segment 4 and the like, the process proceeds to step S 8, A d 1 bitmap file from line 4 and set of figures 2 ( '^ 3) with a margin as shown in FIG. 1 figure de Isseki only Cut out.
ステップ S 9では、 1ページ 内で 1図のみ(管理記 の線分 4を消去した) をワークメモリ R A M 7の記憶空 に Ί 1図として記憶し、 第 2ビッ トマップフ アイル (図形のみ) を作成し、 図番ポインタ hを h + 1と ( 1歩進) する。 In step S9, only one figure in one page (line 4 in the management record is deleted) is stored in the memory space of the work memory RAM 7 as Ί1 figure, and a second bitmap file (only figures) is created. Then, the figure number pointer h is changed to h + 1 (1 step).
ステップ S 1 0では、 1ページ 内で次の線分 4 Aが有るか否かを調べ、 有れ ばステップ S 8に戻り、 図形 3のみを切り出し、 記憶し、 図番ポインタを更に歩 進する。 In step S10, it is checked whether or not the next line segment 4A exists in one page. If there is, the process returns to step S8, and only figure 3 is cut out and stored, and the figure number pointer is further advanced. .
1ページ目内にある線分の数だけステップ S 8からステップ S 1 0を繰り返し 図番ポインタを増加する。 Steps S8 to S10 are repeated by the number of line segments in the first page, and the figure number pointer is increased.
1ページ目内で次の線分が無く、 ページボイン夕 iが第 1ビッ トマツプファィ ルの jページより多くなければ、 ステップ S 5に戻り、 第 1 ビッ トマップフアイ ルから次 ( 2 ) ページを読み込む。 2ページ目内でもステップ S 5ステップ S 1 0を繰り返し、 第 2ビッ トマップファイル (線分消去で図形のみ) を拡大し、 図 番ポィン夕 hを拡張する。 If there is no next line segment in the first page, and the page number i is not greater than page j of the first bitmap file, the process returns to step S5 and reads the next (2) page from the first bitmap file. Repeat step S5 and step S10 in the second page to enlarge the second bitmap file (only the figure with line elimination) and extend the figure number h.
ページボイン夕 iが第 1ビッ トマツプファィルの jページより多ければ、 読み 込みページがないので、 第 6図の規格化処理のフローに進む。 こでまでに、 各図 形は所属する図番とページ番号を認識されている。 If the number of page pages i is larger than page j of the first bitmap file, there is no page to read, so the flow proceeds to the normalization processing flow in FIG. By now, each figure has been recognized by the figure number and page number to which it belongs.
ステップ S 1 2では、 C P U 6は第 2ビッ 卜マップファイル (線分消去で図形 のみ) から図番ポインタ 1の図形デ一夕を読み出し、 ステップ S 1 3では図番ポ ィン夕 yを Y + 1と ( 1歩進) する。 In step S12, the CPU 6 reads out the figure data of the figure number pointer 1 from the second bitmap file (only the figure by line elimination), and in step S13, sets the figure number pointer y to Y. +1 (one step).
ステップ S 1 4では、 図番ポインタ 1の図形データが規定サイズに納まってい るか否かを調べる。 In step S14, it is checked whether or not the figure data of the figure number pointer 1 is within the specified size.
規定サイズならよいが、 規定より大ならステップ S 1 5に進み、 規定サイズに 納まるように縮小する。ステップ S 1 6では第 2ビッ トマップファイルを更新(上
き) する。 The specified size is acceptable, but if it is larger than the specified size, go to step S15 to reduce the size to fit the specified size. In step S16, the second bitmap file is updated (above I do.
ステップ S 1 7では、 (义 I桥ポインタ yがステップ S 9で設定した図番ポインタ hより人きいか^か調べる。 At step S17, it is checked whether (义 I 桥 pointer y is more visible than figure number pointer h set at step S9).
小さければ、 規格サイズの調べする図形が残っているので、 ステップ S 1 2に 戻り、 次の図番 2以下の図形の規格処理をステップ S 1 2からステップ S 1 7を 繰り返して完—/する。 If the size is smaller, the figure to be checked for the standard size remains, so the flow returns to step S12, and the standard processing for the next figure No. 2 and subsequent figures is completed by repeating steps S12 to S17. .
ステップ S 1 7では、 図番ポィン夕 yが図番ポィン夕 hより大きければ、 第 7 図の結合処理のフローに進む。 In step S17, if the figure number pin y is larger than the figure number pin h, the flow proceeds to the combining processing flow in FIG.
ステップ S 1 8では、 C P U 6は更新第 2ビッ トマップファイル (線分消去で 図形のみ) から図稀ポインタ 1の図形デ一夕を読み出し、 ステップ S 1 9では図 番ポインタ pを P + 1と ( 1歩進) する。 In step S18, the CPU 6 reads the graphic data of the rare pointer 1 from the updated second bitmap file (only the graphic with the line erasure), and in step S19, moves the graphic number pointer p to P + 1. And (one step forward).
ステップ S 2 0では図番ポインタ 1に "第 1図" の文字コードを割り当て、 ス テツプ S 2 1では図番ポィン夕 1の"第 1図"の文字コ一ドと組となっている(該 当する) 図形とをデータ上で結合する。 In step S20, the character code of "Fig. 1" is assigned to the drawing number pointer 1, and in step S21, the character code of "Fig. 1" of the drawing number pin 1 is paired ( (Applicable) Figures and data are combined on data.
ステップ S 2 2では、 ステヅプ S 1 9の図番ポィン夕 pがステップ S 9の図番 ポインタ hより大きいか否かを調べる。 In step S22, it is checked whether or not the figure number pointer p in step S19 is larger than the figure number pointer h in step S9.
大きくなければ、 図番ポィン夕 2の "第 2図" の文字コードと組となっている 図形 3等とを更に結合する。 If it is not large, the character code of "Figure 2" of Figure No. 2 is further combined with figure 3 etc. which is a pair.
大きくなるまで、 以下同様に図番ポインタ の "図 h " の文字コードと組とな つている図形とを更に結合する。 Until it becomes larger, the character code of "Figure h" of the figure number pointer is further combined with the figure in the same manner.
大きくなっていれば、全てのページの全図形について結合が終了しているので、 ステップ S 2 3に進み、 例えば第 3図において "第 1図" 等の文字コ一ドを R〇 M 8から読み出し、 文字コ一ド領域 1 3に表示する。 If it is larger, the combination has been completed for all figures on all pages, so go to step S23, for example, change the character code such as "Fig. 1" in Fig. 3 from R〇M8.
