OCR识别单元 61 , 对经釆集图像处理器处理过的釆集图像进行 OCR识 别， 得到票纸的识别票号； 比较器 62 , 对票纸的识别票号与有效票号进行对比， 如果识别票号是有 效票号， 则不 4艮警， 如果识别票号不是有效票号， 则向显示单元 63 发送 4艮 警信息， 无论识别结果如何都要 4巴识别结果上传到主机； 磁头控制器 54 , 根据制票指令的要求控制磁头 55对磁数据进行写磁操 作； 以及 打印控制器 56 , 根据制票指令的要求控制打印头 57把打印数据打印在 票纸上。 制票装置的各个功能单元之间互相配合共同完成制票等各种操作， 其中 图像釆集控制器 58和图像釆集器 59共同完成票纸的图像釆集工作； 釆集数 据处理器 60、 OCR识别单元 61和比较器 62共同完成对票纸釆集图像数据 的处理， 实现票纸票号的识别和有效性确认等； 其中的票号 OCR识别及识 别票号的有效性判定也可以由主机完成， 这样简化了制票装置的操作流程。 下面以图 4为例说明在主机中实现 OCR识别及识别票号的有效性判定 工作时的制票系统的逻辑功能。 在主机中实现 OCR识别及识别票号的有效性判定工作与在制票装置中 实现 OCR识别及识别票号的有效性判定工作的主要区别在于， 如图 4的釆 集数据处理器 60对图像釆集器件 CIS/CCD的釆集图像进行必要的处理后， 把处理完的数据直接传送到主机 100 , 由主机中的 OCR识别功能单元 61进 行票号的 OCR识别， 并 4巴识别的票号经比较器 62进行识别票号的有效性处 理， 判定结果存储在主机的数据存储器 102中供下一次制票操作时使用。 如果是非有效票号则由主机 100的显示单元 104和 /或制票装置 80的显 示单元 63进行报警提示。 在主机中进行票号 OCR识别及识别票号的有效性 判定增加了釆集数据的传输时间， 但可以简化制票装置的软件复杂度， 可以 根据实际应用情况的需要进行设计或配置。 详细的制票方法及具体的处理流程可以通过图 5、 图 6、 图 7、 图 8、 图 9的详细描述， 得到进一步的认识和理解。 本发明提供的制票方法包括步骤 a, 釆集制票票纸的图像， 从釆集到的 所述图像中识别票号， 并对识别到的所述票号进行有效性判定， 以及步骤 b, 在接收到制票指令时， 将包含所述有效票号的制票信息打印在相应的所述票 纸上。 通常， 先执行步骤 a识别本次制票所需票号， 然后再执行步骤 b, 将 包含所述有效票号的制票信息打印在相应的所述票纸上。 优选地， 步骤 b先于步骤 a或与步骤 a同时执行， 步骤 a获取的有效票 号为下一制票指令所使用的制票信息的一部分， 所述步骤 b使用的制票信息 包括已经存储的用于本次制票指令的有效票号。 这样， 在制本次票的同时， 识别下一张票纸的票号， 以便提前做好准备， 供下一张制票时使用， 避免先 执行子流程 2再执行子流程 1时， 因等待识别票号延长制票时间， 从而提高 制票速度。 需要说明的是， 当制票装置上电时或者更换纸卷后的首张票纸制票， 需 要先执行步骤 a, 再执行步骤 b。 图 5为本发明的制票过程的流程图， 如图所示， 制票流程包括子流程 1 和子流程 2。 其中， 子流程 1 包括本票纸的磁数据写读、 打印等操作； 子流 程 2包括票纸的图像釆集及票号的 OCR识别等。 本实施例中， 子流程 1和 子流程 2并行执行。 子流程 1的详细步骤如下： 步骤 S301 , 对票纸进行切票操作， 把连续票纸切为单张的票纸， 便于进 一步的处理； 只有当使用连续票纸的票卷时才需要切票操作， 如果制票装置 使用单张票纸则不需要进行切票操作， 本步骤可以省略。 步骤 S302 , 把票纸传送到磁头处， 准备对磁数据进行写磁操作， 在此过 程中可能需要定位操作， 由传感器等进行辅助操作， 在此省略。 步骤 S303 , 把接收的制票指令中的写磁数据写入到票纸的磁区域， 写磁 数据中包含了本次制票的有效票号的信息。 为了保证写磁操作的准确性还可 以增加读磁操作， 把读到的磁数据与写入的磁数据进行对比， 确认写磁操作 的有效性， 此过程可以根据需要是否增加， 在此不再赞述。 步骤 S304, 巴票纸送到打印头处， 准备打印， 在此过程中可能需要定位 操作， 由传感器等进行辅助操作， 在此省略。 步骤 S305, 进行票纸打印， 把接收的制票指令中的打印数据打印在票纸 上， 其中打印数据包含了本次制票的有效票号的信息。 步骤 S306, 4巴票纸从有效票出口送出， 便于购票人员或其它工作人员取 走。 至此， 本次要制的票已经处理完， 还需要对下一张要制的票纸进行票号 识别， 为下一张票纸的制票提供有效票号。 需要说明的是对于非磁性票纸的制票， 不包含写磁或读磁步骤。 子流程 2的详细步 4聚如下： 步骤 S307, 4巴下一张票纸送到图像釆集的扫描位置， 为图像釆集 #丈好准 备。 步骤 S308, 对下一张票纸进行图像扫描， 生成釆集图像， 为釆集图像的 OCR识别做准备。 步骤 S309,判断是否在制票装置进行 OCR识别还是在主机进行 OCR识 别， 如果在本机进行 OCR识别则由步骤 S310继续处理； 如果不是在本机进 行 OCR识别， 则由步骤 S313把釆集图像发送到主机， 再由主机进行 OCR 识别、 识别票号的有效性判定等操作。 步骤 S310, 在本机进行 OCR图像识别， 把票纸票号从扫描图像中识别 出来并保存。 步骤 S311 , 票号有效性处理， 把 OCR识别的票号与制票装置中预存的 标准票号进行对比判定票号的有效性， 票号有效性处理的具体过程见图 7的 详细说明。 识别票号判定有效后， 把判定结果发送到主机， 由主机存储该有 效票号为下一张票纸的制票票号。 步骤 S312 , 4巴票号有效性处理结果发送到主机， 为制票处理故准备。 步 4聚 S314, 4巴票纸送到切刀处， 为制票装置的操作故准备。 需要说明的是， 子流程 1和子流程 2也可以串行进行， 先执行子流程 1 再进行子流程 2。 这样， 在制本次票的之后， 识别下一张票纸的票号， 以便 提前做好准备， 供下一张制票时使用， 避免先执行子流程 2再执行子流程 1 时， 因等待识别票号延长制票时间， 从而提高制票速度。 下面详细描述识别票号的有效性判断的处理过程， 如图 6所示， 具体步 骤如下： 步骤 S501 , 判断识别票号的长度是否等于标准长度， 如果识别票号的长 度不等于标准长度， 则转到步骤 S508 进行异常票号的人工辅助处理； 如果 识别票号的长度等于标准长度， 则进行下一步判断。 步骤 S502 , 选择票号有效的判定策略， 有效票号的判定策略可以是顺序 策略也可以是区间策略， 如果选择区间策略， 则由步 4聚 S503 继续处理； 如 果选择顺序策略， 则由步骤 S504进行下一步处理； 步骤 S503 , 判定识别票号是否在有效票号范围内， 如果识别票号不在有 效票号范围内则转到步骤 S508 进行异常票号的人工辅助处理。 造成该票号 异常的原因， 可能是票纸的印刷问题， 或者票纸受到损伤、 粘有灰尘等。 如 果该识别票号在有效票号的范围内， 则进行下一步的判断。 步骤 S504, 本识别票号是否已制票， 如果本识别票号的票已经制票， 则 说明要么是识别票号不正确， 要么是有重号的票纸， 无论何种情况都需要人 工进行核实确认， 因此转到步骤 S508 进行异常票号的人工辅助处理； 如果 本识别票号未制票， 则说明本识别票号为确认的识别票号， 由步骤 S505 保 存该确认票号， 为制票做准备， 同时记录该票号的票纸已经被识别， 在制票 操作完成后， 需要记录制票票号。 步骤 S506, 当选择顺序策略判定票号有效时， 判定本次识别票号是否等 于上一个识别票号 +1 , 如果等于， 则说明识别票号是准确的； 如果不等于， 则说明识别的票号有疑问， 需要人工确认。 顺序识别票号， 也可以按照票号 的递减来进行判定， 这需要和票纸的票号编码策略配合， 只要二者的编码策 略一致即可。 步骤 S507, 保存本次经确认的有效票号， 为制票做准备， 也为下一张票 纸的识别票号的有效性判断做准备。 步骤 S508, 异常票号的人工辅助处理， 对不能自动确认的识别票号进行 辅助处理， 需要人工辅助进行进一步的处理。 如果识别票号能够确认， 则不需要人工辅助， 票号有效性确认过程至此 结束； 如果不能够确认有效性， 则还进行人工辅助处理。 具体处理过程见图 7中的过程描述： 步骤 S601 ,是否需要再一次进行票号自动识别，如果需要则由步骤 S603 向制票装置发送票号校验指令， 制票装置再进行一次票纸的图像釆集、 票号 的 OCR识别等， 可以克服因车票变形或粘有灰尘等原因造成票号的识别错 误等； 如果不需要再一次的票号自动识别， 则继续进行处理； 步骤 S602 , 是否需要人工输入票号， 如果被识别票纸确实存在票号印刷 不清楚、 残缺、 号码扭曲变形等问题， 当仍然可以人工识别其号码， 则该被 识别票纸仍然可以使用， 没有必要作废， 转到步骤 S606 进行相应处理； 如 果被识别票纸的残损或被玷污程度造成该票号无法使用， 则进行相应的作废 处理; 步骤 S604, 对不能使用的票纸向制票装置发送票纸作废指令， 制票装置 在接收到该指令后进行相应处理后 4巴废票从异常票出口送出， 该处理过程不 再赘述； 步骤 S605, 主机报警， 并记录票号识别错误的各种相关信息， 如制票装 置的编号、 票纸编号等， 为查找票号识别出错的原因奠定基础； 步骤 S606 , 如果票纸仍然可以使用则人工输入票号， 并由步骤 S607记 录该人工输入的票号， 为下一张票纸的制票做准备。 由于自动识别票号的准确率很高，正常情况下几乎不需要人工辅助处理。 增加人工辅助处理的操作是为了确保在票纸印刷异常、或制票装置出现问题， 如图像釆集单元老化等情况下的补救措施。 图 9以图像的方式说明票纸票号的 OCR识别及识别票号的有效性判定， 可以更加清晰、直观的了解其工作过程， 下面对图 9中的各个步骤进行说明。 在票纸 110中的右上端印有票纸的票号，票号为 3872438578375932A08, 其中数字 "9" 不清晰， 可能印刷不清晰或遭到玷污等， 经图像釆集器釆集 图像并对釆集完的图像经 OCR识别后， 识别的票号如 111所示， 不清晰的数 字 "9" 被识别为数字 "8" , 如其中 111 中的带下划线的数字 "8" 所示， 其 它的字符均识别正确。 然后进行识别票号的有效性判定， 票号有效性判定可以选择使用不同的 判断策略，当釆用连续票纸时可以釆用票号连续加 1或票号连续减 1的策略； 当釆用非连续票纸时， 可以釆用号码区间策略， 即识别号码在一个号码区间 即可认为该号码为是有效票号。 图 9中的步骤 112使用号码区间策略， 票号 区间为：
3872438578375932A00--3872438578375933A99 识别的号码不在号码区间， 因此可以认为识别票号不正确； 如步骤 113 所示， 正确的号码应该为 3872438578375932A08, 不过这个号码需要经过人 工确认 114操作。 从以上的处理流程中可以得知， 进行 OCR识别时， 只要 识别的字符存在疑问就需要通知主机，对票号的判定结果进行人工确认操作； 由于正常情况下， 票纸票号的印刷非常清晰， 几乎不存在 OCR识别号码不 确定问题。 在票号识别出现异常， 需要对票号进行独立的识别及有效性判断， 其处 理流程如图 8所示， 具体描述如下： 步骤 S401 , 把票纸送到图像釆集的扫描位置， 为图像釆集做好准备； 步骤 S402 , 对票纸进行图像扫描， 生成釆集图像， 为釆集图像的 OCR 识别做准备； 步骤 S403 ,判断是否在制票装置进行 OCR识别还是在主机进行 OCR识 别， 如果在本机进行 OCR识别则由步骤 S404继续处理； 如果不是在本机进 行 OCR识别， 即在主机进行 OCR识别， 则由步骤 S407把釆集图像发送到 主机， 由主机进行 OCR识别及识别票号的有效性判定继续处理； 步骤 S404, 在本机进行 OCR图像识别， 把票纸票号从扫描图像中识别 出来并保存； 步骤 S405, 票号有效性处理， 4巴 OCR识别的票号与主机数据库中的标 准票号进行对比判定票号的有效性， 票号有效性处理的具体过程见图 6的详 细说明； 步骤 S406, 把票号是否有效及识别的票号等的判定结果发送到主机， 在 主机上为本票纸的制票操作做准备； 步骤 S408, 4巴票纸送到切刀处， 为制票装置的制票操作故准备。 在制票过程中， 自动对票纸进行扫描、 自动对扫描的图像进行票号识别、 对包含识别票号的制票信息进行打印和写磁的控制方法， 不但省掉了人工录 入票号的麻烦， 还极大提高了票号录入的准确度， 提高了制票的工作效率， 才艮据不同的票号识别策略， 可以适用于多种编号规则下的票纸， 克月艮了当前 制票过程中票号必须连号的缺点。 以上仅为本发明的优选实施例而已， 并不用于限制本发明， 对于本领域 的技术人员来说， 本发明可以有各种更改和变化。 凡在本发明的 ^"神和原则 之内， 所作的任何修改、 等同替换、 改进等， 均应包含在本发明的保护范围 之内。
