Something that facilitates data modification.

[Industrial application field]

The present invention relates to a handwritten character input correction method for correcting input data from a handwritten character input device.

OCR (optical character reader) is used as an input device for computers. OCR shows a high recognition rate for alphabets, numbers, etc., and OCR for handwritten numbers, alphabento, etc. has already been put into practical use.

However, reading kanji, especially handwritten kanji, does not necessarily have a high recognition rate, and post-processing (correction of erroneous data) after reading data containing kanji using OCR requires
It requires a lot of effort and time. Therefore, it is desired to provide an input correction method that can easily post-process data containing kanji.

[Conventional technology]

In the past, when handwritten forms were subjected to OCR and input into a computer, numbers and alphabets were the main characters, and kanji characters were difficult to post-process, so this was rarely done in practice. There wasn't. In addition, since the recognition rate is high for correction of misreading of numbers and alphabets, it is sufficient to use something that can be checked on a program such as an application program.

For example, when it comes to year, month, and day data, the range of the data is known in advance, so anything outside that range is checked as an error, and the correct data is entered from a keyboard or the like.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

However, when attempting to input data using OCR on forms that include handwritten kanji, the rate of misrecognition increases.
The correction process requires a great deal of time and effort, and this poses a problem in that it cannot be put to practical use as it is.

This invention was made in view of the above points, and it is possible to easily perform correction processing when inputting data using OCR when input data containing kanji has already been input into a master file once. The purpose of this invention is to provide a handwritten character input correction method that can be used.

[Means for solving problems]

FIG. 1 is a diagram for explaining the invention in detail.

In the figure, 1 is a computer on the host side, to which a master file 3 and a receiving file 4 are connected. 2 is
OCR (optical reader) 6, keyboard 7, display device 5
This is a terminal control device having a terminal control device 2, and form input work is performed from this terminal control device 2.

Master file 3, for example, contains data about a -year insurance contract (for example, group life insurance)1, and the new contract form including the re-contract form due to the end of the contract period is 0CR6. It is assumed that the acceptance file 4 for the new year is created.

The form data read from the 0CR6 is displayed on the display device 5, so if the correct part of the displayed data is used as a key, for example, if the contractor's name is correctly recognized, use that as the key. The master file is searched, and the retrieved data is also displayed on the display device 5. Then, when correct data is retrieved, it is read into the acceptance file 4 as new data.

[Effect]

Normally, to correct kanji data into correct kanji data, you use a terminal offline and enter the kanji data character by character. Since the data registered in the file is used, there is no need to correct each kanji character, making the correction process easier. In particular, if the insurance is renewed every year or every few years, such as group life insurance or single-premium endowment insurance, and there are many people already registered in the master file, the search results will be very In most cases, there will be data that hits, and the effect will be large.

〔Example〕

FIG. 2 shows an embodiment of the invention. In Figure 2,
The same members as those shown in the diagram of the principle of the invention in FIG. 1 are given the same numbers, so detailed explanation thereof will be omitted.

In FIG. 2, the host computer 1 includes a control unit 1 including a file control unit 11, an input/output control unit 12, and a CPU.
Contains 3.

A master file 3 and a receiving file 4 are connected to the file control unit 11, and controls input/output of data to/from each file. The input/output control unit 12 is a part that controls data input/output to/from the terminal control device 2, and the file control unit 11 and input/output control unit 12 are both controlled by the control unit 13, which includes a CPU. ing.

The terminal control bag W2 has a display processing section 22 for processing display data to the display device 5, and a line control section 21 for controlling the connection line to the host computer, and these parts are connected to the terminal device. It is controlled by a control unit 23 that is provided independently and includes a CPU. In addition, a CR6 keyboard switch 7 is connected to the terminal control device 2.

As shown in FIG. 2, in the present invention, the terminal control device 2 to which the 0CR6 is connected accesses the master file 3 via the host computer 1 in post-processing after processing with the handwritten document reading device. The requirement is that it is possible.

In such a device, forms containing handwritten kanji can be
First, create an acceptance file by loading it into CR6. The following is an example of group life insurance with a one-year contract.

The master file 3 stores all data regarding the previous year's subscribers. Since insurance is a one-year contract, a new application form (form) for the contract will be created in the new year, and this application form (form) will be submitted to 0C.
A new master file will be created by having R6 read it.

First, an application form for a new contract is subjected to OCR6, and an acceptance file 4 is created in which the result is stored as is. After all application forms (forms) have been read, correction processing is performed to correct misread data.

The handwritten character input correction method according to the present invention will be explained with reference to FIGS. 3, 4, and 5. FIG. 3 shows the screen of the display device 5 during the correction process, FIG. 4 shows the flow of the correction process, and FIG. 5 details the data modification flow during the correction process.

First, the correction processing flow will be explained with reference to FIG.

First, enter the acceptance number of the application form (form) as a key (step 5), and search for acceptance file 4 (step 5).
Step 2). When checking the total number of received files 4, the reception number is inputted as this key, and is incremented by 1 sequentially from 1 until the data is completed.

Also, as described in the example below, check the data in the places where the same data should be included in each application form, and remove only those that do not contain the same data to increase the efficiency of the check. It's okay.

Data corresponding to the manually inputted keys is called from the receiving file connected to the host computer and outputted to the screen of the display device 5 (step 3). The user refers to the application form, looks at the displayed data, and approves the correction (step 4).

Thereafter, the received file 4 is updated by operating a keyboard or the like (step 5).

Details of the data correction/confirmation process shown in step 4 are further shown in FIG. This will be explained in detail with reference to FIGS. 5 and 3.

FIG. 3(A) is the application form data in step 3 of FIG. It goes without saying that this application form data is the same data that has been read in advance from the application form (written by 0CR6). As shown in the figure, when the data is insurance, there are the name of the policyholder and the name of the insured, and in most cases, the policyholder and the insured are the same person.

If these names are recognized and stored as different names, in most cases one of them is incorrect, so refer to the original application form and check which one is the correct data (see Figure 5). , step 41).

Next, enter "*" at the beginning of the correct name (step 42), and use this name as a key to search for the master file 3 connected to the host computer 1 (
Step 43). For example, in the one shown in Figure 3,
Assuming that Taobe Yamada is read as the policyholder and Taobe Yamaguchi as the insured, and the correct name is Taobe Yamada. Place it at the beginning of. With this operation, "Yamada Abe" is selected as the search key and the master file 3 is searched. Master file 3 stores all the names of the previous year's subscribers, so in the case of a renewal application, 100%
Since data of the correct name exists, the correct name will be displayed (step 44).

After confirming the correct name on the screen (step 45), the acceptance file will be updated.

In the illustrated example, we have given an example of correcting only one character, such as changing "Yamaguchi" to "Yamada", so it is difficult to understand the convenience of the input correction method according to which invention, but when there are many kanji to be input , or when the kanji to be input is extremely difficult.

Furthermore, the terminal to which the 0CR6 is connected does not have to be a terminal specifically intended for inputting kanji characters, which can contribute to cost reduction.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, input data is corrected using the data input in the master file, so misreading can be easily prevented without converting Roman character input into Kanji. Data can be corrected and the time required for correction can be shortened.
