First, in steps S1 to S3, various items are selected and necessary numerical values are input according to the guidance display displayed on the display screen of the display unit 8, and the form layout file serving as the basis of the OCR input paper is created. Perform design processing. First, in step S1, referring to the guide display on the display unit 8, the input characters and size of the input OCR paper are designated and input from the operation unit 7. Specifically, first, the operation unit 7
The cursor is moved by the input of the instruction, and the size and the length and width of the form to be designed displayed on the display screen of the display unit 8 are selected. Then, based on this selection, a prescribed value provided by the system (a layout file in which the positional relationship in which data in the form can be arranged is determined in advance)
Check.

When the specified value is acceptable, the display specified value is selected. Here, if there is a specified value to be corrected, only a necessary portion is corrected using a correction function, and a new user specified value file is created. Then step S2
In the same manner, the input data items of each part are designated and input from the operation unit 7. The above-described designation input states are sequentially displayed on the display screen of the display unit 8, and the designation input is sequentially advanced while checking the designation state with reference to the display screen. Specifically, specify the business in which the form to be entered is used, and define the description / title, character recognition fields, etc. (input character size, number of digits, character spacing, recognition character type, frame type, input instruction character And the like).

When the above-mentioned instruction is input, the CPU 1 automatically creates a form layout file to be used for the OCR input based on the designated data in the following step S3. This automatically lays out the input character frame including the combination of the data items and the input instruction character, and displays the layout result on the display unit 8. The layout file of the form created by the first specification is a temporary form, and the layout file of the created form is displayed on the display unit 8 in a form close to the actual print output pattern. For this reason, referring to this display, the report created by the printer 5 is printed out if the arrangement or the like is satisfied to some extent. This printout can be performed in the form of a composition, or

It has a recognition support function, a data input function, a data maintenance function, and other optional functions.
One of these functions will be selected and executed as needed. [Specified Value File Management] The specified value file management according to the present embodiment is performed by using various forms (OCR data) of A8 size to A4 size and B6 size to B4 size which can be used in the system of this embodiment. It manages a layout file in which various prescribed values of the sheet space for standard use for the sheet) are determined. For this reason,
When designing a form, the user first uses this management function to define the character size, character spacing, line spacing, field-to-field spacing, and the positional relationship between the outer perimeter that can be arranged on the paper surface of the field. .

In the present embodiment, the definition of the prescribed value is designed using the same prescribed value as the presence / absence of the FID, the size of the form, and the direction of the form (vertical direction up and down, horizontal direction up and down). Business forms can be treated as the same group. It is a function to check the specified value provided by the system and to make a designated selection as needed by moving the cursor from the operation unit 7, and to use it as appropriate in the case of the next form design.

[Form Design] Form design is a subsystem for setting and defining a record item format of input data items of a new form when data is input using a new form layout file.
Then, at the same time as defining the record item format, it is possible to optimally arrange where on the form the record item is arranged according to a simple automatic arrangement rule.

After all the definitions are completed, the automatic arrangement position can be moved to the position desired by the user. In this embodiment, at the time of designing this form, the form of the new OCR data sheet that the user wants to create and the type of business data are automatically set. Therefore, it is not necessary to record the data in a ledger or the like each time, and data to be read and processed for subsequent data input is automatically managed.

In this form design, the arrangement of the reference marks is first determined, and then the character recognition field area is determined. Then, the relationship between each character recognition field and the frame is determined, and the relationship between the input instruction character and the character recognition field in the character recognition field is determined. Due to this relationship, the placement of the character recognition field may be restricted.When displaying input instruction characters next to the character recognition field, it is possible to arrange them over multiple lines. Is displayed, there is a restriction on the number of arranged rows.

FIGS. 4 and 5 show the arrangement positions of the reference marks 40 and examples of the reference marks 40 from the end of the form. FIG. 5 shows details of the content and value of the position indicated by each character in FIG. Similarly, FIGS. 6 and 7 show examples of the positions of the character recognition fields 60 and the distance between the fields from the end of the form. FIG. 7 shows details of the content and value of the position indicated by each character in FIG.

FIG. 8 shows an example of specifying the positions of the character recognition field 60 and the frame 80. Nine types of the frames 80 shown in FIG. 9 are prepared, and the frame layout can be easily performed only by specifying each line type. In addition, each of the above arrangements can be specified with the precision within each individual indicated as each value, simply by specifying and inputting the numerical value corresponding to the position indicated by each alphanumeric character, the arrangement of each part is automatically performed It can be performed. However, frame 8
The thickness of the 0 line can be specified by the number of dots.

Along with the designation of this frame, the arrangement of the input instruction character (indicating the type of data to be written in the corresponding character recognition field 60) at the time of OCR input is also specified. As an example of the arrangement of the input instruction characters, any one of upper, lower, left, and right of the character recognition field 60, or an interval can be designated. FIG. 10 shows a specific example of a layout file of a form designed in this way. Here, an example is shown in which the frame is a square with a line type of 7, and the input instruction characters are arranged in the frame 80 above the character recognition field 60.

[Preparation of Composition] In this embodiment, the function and the function of printing a data sheet on paper have been defined in order to print the OCR data sheet form defined in the form design described above in preparing the composition. An item for displaying data on the display screen of the display unit 8 when the data sheet is read is defined.

In order to carry out block printing, first, a model chart of the paper size and orientation to be used is output, and subsequently, measured values are registered, and the block, for example, a drop-out plate, a black plate, a completed plate, Print the desired number of copies. At this time, as an auxiliary function, the printout position can be corrected in units of (1/10) mm to correct the error so that the composition can be output regardless of the printing accuracy of the printer 5. It is configured as follows. This correction function is prepared for each size and orientation of the composition paper.

Therefore, when creating a composition from sheets of the same size, the correction value once specified can be used as it is. These correction values may be stored in the FD or the HDD 3. Align the black ink plate underneath the drop-out color plate or the completed plate with the register mark [+], write the specified data in the frame, and cut it exactly to the specified paper size with the register mark.
After performing a load test and confirming that it works correctly,
The information is automatically displayed on the display screen of the display unit 8, and the items to be displayed here are selected. Items that do not need to be displayed can be omitted.

For example, when the data items of the master-slave relationship that need to be recognized appear in the sixth and seventh rows of one screen, the division is automatically prohibited and the next screen is displayed. Control such as lowering is performed. [Recognition Support] This is particularly effective when the writer (written person) of handwritten characters has a habit of writing individual characters and the recognition rate cannot be increased by ordinary recognition. In such a case, in this embodiment,
A handwriting is registered exclusively for the creator, and a recognition correction file is created and registered so that recognition can be performed as accurately as possible. At the time of this registration, it is not necessary to create a troublesome OCR form, and a free format data sheet can be used. In this embodiment, the function of reading a character image by the OCR is used so that the external character font can be automatically registered by the kuten code. For this purpose, a dedicated external character font registration sheet is prepared.

[Data input] This is a function for reading actual business data using the form created as described above.
The system is configured so that batch lot management can be performed by creating a bundle of a large amount of data for each given number. In this case, for the batch management, a method of writing an instruction on a face control sheet or a method of inputting control instruction data from the operation unit 7 can be selected.

The present embodiment is not limited to the batch processing, and it is also possible to select a job directly from the screen and input data without performing batch lot management. Further, at the time of data input, it is also possible to set a recognition file in which personal handwriting is registered and perform data recognition. Furthermore, as a data input method, 1
