[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] The conventional image processing system described above automatically moves the identification code only when it is determined that the identification code is located outside the display range on the display surface of the display device. If a plurality of identification codes overlap within the display range on the display screen of the device, the problem is that they are difficult to see and lack immediacy because they are used as is. Furthermore, in order to make it easier to see, the display position has to be changed manually, which poses a problem in that there is a high possibility of causing operational errors and communication delays.

[0004] An object of the present invention is to provide an image processing system in which the display surface of a display device is easy to see, and in which operational errors and communication failures do not occur.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems] The image processing system of the present invention is an image processing system that displays a plurality of symbols to which identification codes are added at positions spaced apart from each other by a predetermined distance on the display surface of a display device. A configuration comprising an overlap determination means for determining whether or not there is an overlap between identification codes added to a plurality of symbols, and an identification code rearrangement means for moving one of the overlapping identification codes to eliminate the overlap. It is.

In the image processing system of the present invention, the identification code relocation means first calculates and sets the position of the identification code according to a predetermined standard, and when the identification code overlaps with another identification code in this position determination, an identification code display coordinate calculating means for calculating and setting a new position by rotating the position of the identification code added to one of the symbols by a predetermined angle around one of the symbols having the overlapping identification codes; It may also include display display range determining means for determining whether or not the identification code exists within the display range on the display surface.

The image processing system of the present invention has a function of calculating the distance between a plurality of symbols on the display surface of a display device, and a distance from an arbitrarily determined symbol to each symbol and an identification code added thereto. It is also possible to provide identification code selection means having a function of selecting only other symbols within twice the distance from the symbol.

Embodiments Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a flow chart of the operation of one embodiment of the present invention.

[0012] When the display device is activated and display starts, each time a new symbol is input, it is displayed anew, and if it overlaps with an already displayed identification code, the identification code is moved. Object/object that determines whether it is a necessary symbol (hereinafter referred to as object) or a symbol that does not require the identification code to be added that is already displayed (hereinafter referred to as target object) Enters object discrimination section 1.

[0013] The symbol determined to be a target object by the object/target object discriminator 1 is then processed by a function that calculates the distance between a plurality of symbols on the display surface of the display device, and an arbitrary process. Identification code selection unit 2 having a function of selecting only other symbols whose distance from the symbol defined in 2 is within twice the distance between each symbol and the identification code added thereto.
to go into. As a result, the relevant target object and the corresponding target object become clear.

[0014] In order to confirm the placement of the identification code added to each object and the corresponding object identified by the identification code sorting section 2, the position of the identification code is first determined according to a predetermined standard. Calculated and set, if the identification code of the object overlaps with the identification code of the target object in this position determination, the position of the identification code added to the object is rotated by a predetermined angle around the object. The process enters the identification code display coordinate calculation section 3 which calculates and sets a new position, and since this is the first time, the position of the identification code of the object is calculated and set according to a predetermined standard.

[0015] Once the position of the object identification code is set,
First, the display display range determining section 4 determines whether or not the identification code exists within the display range on the display surface of the display device.

If the judgment result of the display display range determining section 4 is within the display range, next, the newly set identification code is compared with the already set object identification code.
The identification code overlap determination unit 5 determines whether or not an overlap occurs between the identification codes.

If the determination result of the display display range determining unit 4 is outside the display range, or if the determination result of the identification code overlap determining unit 5 indicates that an overlap has occurred, the check end determining unit 6 performs the following steps: It is determined whether or not the setting condition check has been completed in all directions, and if the check in all directions has not been completed, the identification code display coordinate calculation unit 3 is returned again and the identification code is added to the object centering on the object. A new position is calculated and set by rotating the position of the identification code by a predetermined angle, and the display display range determining unit 4 and identification code overlap determining unit 5 reconfirm the appropriateness of the position of the identification code.

If the determination result of the identification code overlap determination unit 5 indicates that there is no overlap, or if the determination result of the check completion determination unit 6 indicates that checking in all directions has been completed, the identification code is renewed. The object end determination unit 7 determines whether there is any object that needs to be added to the target object.

If the judgment result of the object end judgment section 7 is that the object is present, the object/target object judgment section 1
Return to , and repeat the series of operations described above. Further, if the determination result of the target object end determination section 7 is that there is no target object, the operation is terminated.

FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram for explaining the discrimination criteria in the object/object discrimination section.

[0021] Arithmetic numerals in the diagram indicate the order in which identification codes are added to the symbols, and subfigure A shows that the lowest number is always determined to be the target object, and the oldest number is determined to be the target object. . or,
In division diagram B, for example, if the object to be symmetrical is "1", the object to be symmetrical is "none", and for the fifth symbol, the object to be symmetrical is "1, 2, 3, 4", and the object to be symmetrical is "none". An example of “5” is shown.

FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram illustrating the function of the identification code display coordinate calculation section.

That is, the writing start coordinate A and the writing end coordinate B are calculated and set.

FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram for explaining the content of the determination made by the display display range determination section.

As shown in FIG.
3, 24, 25, 26, 27, and 28 are displayed. As shown in Figure B, each identification code has a certain size of a rectangle, and has four corner coordinates (XS, YS), (
XE, YS), (XE, YE), (XS, YE) are given.

It is determined whether or not these coordinate values are set within the display range using the following determination formula.

Judgment formula - display range < XS < display range, - display range < XE < display range, - display range < YS < display range, - display range < YE
<If all of the conditions in the display range are satisfied, it is determined that the setting is within the display display range.

FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram for explaining the content of the determination made by the identification code overlap determining section.

Assuming that the identification code of the target object is F and the identification code of the target object is G, the overlapping state of the identification codes is determined using the following determination formula.

Judgment formula (a) F writing start coordinate < XS < G writing end coordinate (b) F
Writing end coordinate <XE<G writing start coordinate (c) F writing coordinate <YS<G writing end coordinate (d) F writing end coordinate <Y
If any one of the writing coordinates E<G holds true, it can be determined that the object does not overlap with the identification code F of the object in the figure.
