Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a method for correcting form data in an optical character reading device.

Conventionally, in this type of optical character reading device 1, the second
As shown in the figure, first the form 2 is discussed, the read data is output to the floppy disk 3, and the form discussion process is performed. Then, among the form data written to the disk 3, a discussion error occurs. The operator searches for a form or a form that cannot be used as data as it is, displays the corresponding form on the display 5, corrects the data from the keyboard 6, and transfers the corrected form data to the floppy disc again. I was performing correction processing for the error form to be output on 3rd page.

However, in this case, since the error form processing is performed after the form collection process is completed, the total processing time becomes simply the sum of both processing times, and in order to shorten the processing time, each processing time must be There was no other way but to shorten it, and this was an extremely difficult problem. Therefore, the present invention
While the form data taken from the reading unit is stored in the first data buffer, the form data that needs to be corrected from the floppy disk is stored in the second data buffer, and the form data that has been corrected is stored in the second data buffer. An optical character reading device that eliminates the above-mentioned drawbacks by writing data from the second data buffer onto a floppy disk and performing the form reading process and the error form correction process in parallel. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for correcting form data in. Hereinafter, the present invention will be specifically explained based on an embodiment shown in the drawings.

The optical character reading device 1, as shown in FIG.
The reading section 7 is connected to a first data buffer 9.

The data buffer 9 is connected to a floppy disk 3, a second data buffer 10 is connected to the disk 3, and a display 5 and a keyboard 6 are connected to the data buffer 1. Connected. Since the optical character reading device 1 has the above configuration,
When processing the forms, first, the forms 2 in the target capture section 7 are sequentially interpreted, and the captured form data 1 is stored in the data buffer 9.

. . . First operation Next, the form data stored in the B1 data buffer 9 is written to the floppy disk 3.

. . . Second operation In this manner, the first and second operations are repeated for each document to perform the document discussion process in which the document data is sequentially written into the floppy disk 3.

On the other hand, the device 1 reads out the form data written in the floppy disk 3, searches for forms that require correction of data such as error forms, and stores the form data in the data buffer 10. Store in.

. . .Third Action This third action cannot be performed together with the second action, so it is performed while the first action is being performed.

Therefore, when the second or third operation is being performed, the third or second operation waits until the operation is completed, and starts the operation after the operation is completed. Next, the form data written in the data buffer 1 is displayed on the display 5, and the form data on the display 5 and in the data buffer 10 is corrected based on input information from the keyboard 6 by the operator.

. . . Fourth operation During the fourth operation, the third operation is stopped, so the form reading processing by the first and second operations is performed continuously and in parallel. When the fourth movement is completed,
[E' Modified form data 1 to data buffer 10
Write to the original location on floppy disk 3.

. . .Fifth Operation The fifth operation, like the third operation, cannot be performed together with the second operation, so it is performed while the first operation is being performed.

Therefore, when the second or fifth operation is being performed, the fifth or second operation waits until the operation is completed, and starts the operation after the operation is completed. One step of the error form correction process is completed in the third to fifth operations, and the apparatus 1 repeatedly continues the error form correction process in parallel with the form reading process in the first and second operations. Note that during the form discussion process, the form data 1 is sequentially written onto the floppy disk 3.
It goes without saying that the third operation of the error-form correction process needs to be performed only on the data written on the disk 3 by the second operation.

As explained above, according to the present invention, error form correction processing can be performed in parallel with form collection processing.
Compared to the conventional method in which error form processing is performed after the reading process is completed, the overall processing time can be shortened significantly, and form processing efficiency can be improved.

Claims (1)

[Claims] 1 A reading unit connected to a first data buffer, a floppy disk connected to the data buffer,
Display command means is provided on the disk via a second data buffer, and the form data read from the reading section is sent to the first data buffer.
reading the form data written to the floppy disk via the second data buffer, reading the form data written to the floppy disk, and displaying the data that needs to be corrected via the second data buffer. In an optical character reading device that performs an error form correction process using a command means, while the form data read from the reading unit is stored in a first data buffer, data that needs to be corrected is read from the floppy disk. The form data is stored in a second data buffer, and the corrected form data is written from the second data buffer onto the floppy disk, so that the form reading process and error form correction process are performed in parallel.
