Abstract

PURPOSE:To intuitively discriminate the type of a character by displaying character data as the results of character recognition while varying colors for the respective types of characters. CONSTITUTION:Since previously storing a character code generated by executing the character recognition in a recognized character storage part 3, a character type discriminating means 4 discriminates the type of the character having the character code. Next, a character color deciding means 5 decides the display color corresponding to the type of the character. Then, a color displaying means 6 displays the character in the display color decided by the character color deciding means 5. Thus, since the type of the character can be instantaneously discriminated, time and labor for checking the recognition miss of the similar character can be saved and the trouble of human can be decreased.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a recognized character display device that displays character data resulting from character recognition in different colors for each type of character, such as kanji, kana, numbers, and symbols.

[Prior Art] The display of character data as a result of character recognition is not color-coded for each character type.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, the situation is different from character data that has been recognized manually from a keyboard, and it is not 100% reliable whether the characters have been recognized correctly. In other words, characters that look similar, such as - and - and - 工 and 工, yu and yu, may be mistakenly recognized as similar characters of different character types.

For this reason, in conventional displays that were not color-coded by character type, character types were determined by the human eye, which was very difficult.

Since the human eye is not very good at checking characters that look roughly similar, there was a risk that the data would be registered incorrectly.

An object of the present invention is to provide a recognized character display device that allows character data resulting from character recognition to be displayed in different colors for each character type, thereby allowing the character type to be determined intuitively.

[Means for Solving the Problems] A recognized character display device of the present invention includes a recognized character storage section that stores a character code generated by performing character recognition, and a recognition character storage section that determines the character type of the character code stored in the recognized character storage section. The present invention is characterized by having a character type determining means for determining a display color according to the character type, a character color determining means for determining a display color according to the character type, and a color display means for displaying the characters in color.

[1] In the recognized character display device of the present invention, first, since the character code generated by character recognition is stored in the recognized character storage section, the character type of the character code is determined by the character type determination means. do.

Next, the character color determining means determines a display color according to the character type.

Then, the color display means displays the characters in color using the display color determined by the character color determination means.

[Embodiment] FIG. 1 is a block diagram of the configuration of a recognized character display device of the present invention.

1 is character image data read by a scanner or the like.

2 is a character recognition unit that performs character recognition from the character image data to generate a character code.

3 is a recognized character storage section that stores the character code generated by the character recognition section.

4 is a character type determination means for determining the character type of the character code stored in the recognized character storage section.

Reference numeral 5 denotes a character color determining means that determines a display color according to the type of character.

Reference numeral 6 denotes a color display means for displaying characters in that color.

7 is a CRT for displaying data.

FIG. 2 is an example of a flowchart of the recognized character display device of the present invention, and Fl to F6 are step numbers.

In Fl, character codes are generated by character recognition. Character recognition will not be explained in detail.

In F2, check the character code of the character recognition result and select kanji,
Determine character types such as kana kana, alphanumeric symbols, etc.

In F3, the display color of alphanumeric symbols is determined to be, for example, two orange symbols, alphabetic characters = yellow, and two numbers lines.

In F4, the display color of the kanji is determined to be white, for example.

In F5, the display colors of kana and kana are determined as, for example, kana = blue, kana lowercase = light blue, kana = red, and kana lowercase = purple.

At F6, the characters are displayed in color using the character colors determined at F3 to F5.

Through the above processing, the character codes that have been recognized are displayed in different colors for each character type.

FIG. 3 is an example of a hardware configuration diagram of a code sequential calling device. The area surrounded by the dotted line is, for example, the inside of a personal computer, and H1 is the CPU.

F2 is RAM, which stores programs and is also used as a data buffer and work. F3 is ROM, B
Contains system programs such as IOS. H4 displays data, etc. on a display such as a CRT. F
Reference numeral 5 denotes a keyboard, on which the user manually presses the keys as necessary. H6 is a recording device such as a magnetic disk, which reads and writes files.

[Effects of the Invention] According to the recognized character display device of the present invention, character data resulting from character recognition is displayed in different colors for each character type, so that the character type can be determined intuitively by looking at it.

With this device, character types can be determined instantaneously, which greatly reduces the time and effort required to check for recognition errors on similar characters, without reducing human effort.

Furthermore, there is an advantage that there is no risk of registering incorrect recognized character data that looks similar.
