Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Object of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a character recognition device that recognizes characters on a form.

(Prior Art) Character recognition devices that read and recognize characters on forms have been widely used in various office processing fields.

In such a character recognition device, a symbol such as a serial number is printed on a form for which character recognition has been completed using a printing device such as a dot printer.

This symbol is used by the operator as a reference number when confirming that the form has been processed or when organizing the form.

However, such conventional character recognition devices do not have a function to detect a symbol indicating that processing has been completed, even if this symbol is printed on a form, so iflW that has been processed may be printed on a form that should be processed for some reason. If the data is mixed, reprocessing such as rereading and rerecognition is performed, resulting in the problem of duplication of the same data.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) The present invention is intended to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems. An object of the present invention is to provide a character recognition device that can reliably cancel the processing of

[Structure of the Invention] (Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above object, the present invention includes a character recognition means for recognizing characters on a form, and a process for processing a form on which character recognition has been completed by the character recognition means. a processed mark forming means for attaching a processed mark; a processed mark detecting means for detecting the processed mark; and a processed mark detecting means for detecting the processed mark; and control means for canceling the character recognition operation of the document when the completed mark is detected by the completed mark detection means.

(Function) With the above-mentioned means, the present invention can reliably cancel the processing of a processed form, even if the processed form is mixed among a plurality of forms to be processed.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described in detail based on the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a character recognition device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In the figure, 1 is a reading unit that reads characters on a form, 2 is a character recognition unit that recognizes the image of the read characters, and 3 is a processed mark on a form that has completed character recognition to indicate that this form has been processed. 4 is a processed mark detection unit that detects a processed mark on a form before the form to be processed is read by the reader 1; 5;
6 is a control unit that cancels the processing of a form when a processed mark is detected from the form by the processed mark detection unit 4; , for example, is an input unit for inputting information such as position, shape, color, etc.

Figures 2 and 3 show II slips. Figure 2 is an unprocessed II slip P1 with the letter a written on it, and Figure 3 shows the unprocessed II slip P1 with the letter a written on it and a processed mark A. This is the formed and processed 11 votes P2. The above-mentioned processed mark A may be formed, for example, by printing with a printer, or may be formed by cutting out in a predetermined shape.

The operation of the character recognition device configured as described above will be explained with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

First, before processing a form, information on the processed mark A is input to the processed mark detection unit 4 and processed mark forming unit 3 using the input unit 6 (STEPl).Next, the presence or absence of a form is checked. (STEP 2), and if the form does not exist, the form is conveyed to the processed mark detection unit 4, and it is detected whether the processed mark A exists on the form (STEP
3).

And if processed mark A is detected from the form.”
Then, these 91 votes are transported to a stacker for cancellation (STEP 4).

If the processed mark A is not detected from the 11 forms, this form is conveyed to the reading section 1, and the reading section 1 reads the letter a on the form (STEP 5). Furthermore, the image of the read character is recognized by the character recognition unit 2 (S
TEP6). Thereafter, a processed mark A is formed by the processed mark forming section 3 on the form that has undergone processing such as reading and character recognition (STEP 7), and the form is conveyed to the stacker (STEP 8).

Therefore, in a character recognition device configured in this way,
The processed mark is formed on the unprocessed form by the processed mark forming section, and the processed mark of the processed form is detected by the processed mark detection section.
Even if one form is mixed among a plurality of unprocessed forms to be processed, the processed form can be detected and the processing can be reliably canceled.

In the embodiment described above, when reprocessing a processed form on which a processed mark has been formed, the processed form is input to the processed mark detection unit 4 and processed mark forming unit 3 through the input unit 6. By changing information such as the position, shape, color, etc. of the mark, it is possible to reprocess the form.

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, the character recognition device of the present invention can reliably cancel the processing of a processed form even if the processed form is mixed among multiple forms to be processed. Can be done.
