Document processing method

Abstract: PURPOSE:To secure the assured selection of documents by providing the 1st step to display a list of registered documents, the 2nd step to divide the designated contents into two groups and display them at a time and the 3rd step to either display the contents on the entire screen or go back to the 1st step. CONSTITUTION:A job selection menu is displayed at a display device 13 with operation of a keyboard 12. When a menu number for replacement of documents is fed, the title and format information on the document registered to an external memory medium 15 is displayed in the form of a list. Then an operator feeds a desired document number written in the list. Thus the list is displayed in the upper column, and the contents of the selected document are displayed in the lower column. If the selected document is not the one desired, a cancel key is pushed to display the list again. In case the desired document is selected, an execution key is pushed to display a full screen for editing and proofreading. Then the procedure proceeds to the editing and proofreading processes.

Starting method of document processing program

Abstract: PURPOSE:To start automatically a processing program and to process immediately a document by designating only the document to be corrected or printed. CONSTITUTION:A starting device is provided with a program storing device 14 which stores various programs, a table 12 containing the correspondence between documents and their programs, a selection part 11 which retrieves the contents coincident with the discrimination information on the document received through the table 12 and transfers them to a starting part 13, and said part 13 which loads the program sent from the device 14 to a memory and then starts said program according to the retrieved and selected start information. As shown in the figure, the table 12 contains the identification information and its corresponding start information. The identification information is delivered and a document is designated so that a document processing program processes a desired document. Thus a document processing program is automatically started.

Document switch control system for document processing system

Abstract: PURPOSE:To improve the processing efficiency by regenerating the state of a screen position or a cursor position in response to the loading of a document file onto a main memory to represent the working process of a document which was the object in the previous operation. CONSTITUTION:A display control mechanism 7 receives a display request from a main control mechanism 5 and displays document data on the X-th to N-th rows of a document memory 8. Then a cursor is displayed at the position of the Y-th character. Both X and Y show the contents of a register 9 obtained when a display is requested. The register 9 holds the position information on the memory 8 for the display data which the document data is displayed at a display part 2. When the document data is supplied from a keyboard part 3, the data is set to the corresponding memory area at and after the cursor position through the mechanism 5. A medium part 4 stores document files 10 and 11, and the document data obtained files 10 and 11 are finally stored, and copied together with the contents of the register 9, i.e., the position information obtained in a store mode.

An approach to computer-aided document examination

Abstract: In this paper we describe a knowledge-based expert system capable of investigating a typewritten document and acquiring evidence on its falsification. A document is assumed to be falsified if its typing has been performed in multiple typing sessions. Verification of document authenticity is carried out by subjecting a document to four tests: alignment analysis, symbol comparison, gray level intensity analysis and type font identification. Tests are performed in succession and failure of any one of the tests signifies possible document falsificaton.

Document processing system

Abstract: A document processing system and method for locating intelligence data such as the monetary amount on a document (24). The documents (24) are sensed by an imaging device (58) to provide intelligence data which is presented in the form of a matrix of binary data which corresponds to image data associated with a financial document (24) such as a check or deposit slip. From the matrix of binary data, an input character located on a predetermined side of the data is examined. If the input character is identified as a clue character, it means, generally, that a portion of the matrix of binary data which is associated with the clue character may be the binary data associated with the monetary amount. In the embodiment described, the clue characters are asterisks and dollar signs of different expected varieties. Having found the binary data associated with the monetary amount, it can be subjected to character recognition techniques to machine-read the monetary amount on the document (24).

On-line recognition device for handwritten character

Abstract: PURPOSE:To reduce the load on a writer during input operation by inputting candidate characters in the decreasing order of similarity to an input character and outputting them in said order when necessary. CONSTITUTION:Information inputted to a tablet 1 is transferred to the recognition processing part 4 and command generation part 5 of a character recognition part 2. A processing part 4 uses this information, and recognizes a character when the information relates to the character. At this time, one or plural candidate characters are outputted as the recognition result are outputted as codes showing candidate characters and similarity in the decreasing order of similarity to the input character. The output of the processing part 4 is sent to the candidate character processing part 8 of a character processing part 7, and candidate characters are stored and displayed there. A document processing and character input processing part 10 performs necessary processing on the basis of command information. A candidate character having the highest similarity among candidate characters sent from the recognition part 2 is registered and outputted as the recognition result and a correct characters is selected among the candidate characters at a writer's request.

Processing system for incorporating illustration

Abstract: PURPOSE:To reduce wasteful blank space and obtain proper document processing by obtaining an area as divided in case of a draft board constituting a group and constituting a part of draft to be separated. CONSTITUTION:A console 12 consists of a keyboard and monitor display. An operator, by using it for a command input and condition monitor, can also input document information from these. A memory 14 holds a system software such as a program constituting the present system, various control data, etc. A processor 10 reads out a required program from the memory 14 to put it in a main memory 11 and executes the program. Draft board insertion designation information in a position within a character string required to insert the draft board is inserted in document character string information of an input device 16. This designation information contains an area designation table, and this draft board may be divided as an example. The size of the respective draft boards are disignated by, for example, character row number fugure.

Document processing system for handwritten character

Abstract: PURPOSE:To input handwritten characters and perform document processing for the handwritten characters by providing a control means which sections a display screen into a checkerboard shape, stores all picture elements inputted in each section with a light pen, and copyies, moves, and erase the contents of each section. CONSTITUTION:A display device 12 with an electronic plane screen has an input terminal function, and characters are handwritten on the screen with the light pen 11 and written in the memory of a controller 14 as a black-and-white binary picture element signal. In this case, the input signal is not recognized as a character, but handled as a graphic form. The controller 14 sections the display screen into the checkerboard shape, and characters handwritten successively are processed for documentation (deletion, addition, and movement).

Control system for processed document name record of document processing system

Abstract: PURPOSE:To reduce the load on an operator and to improve the processing efficiency by forming a stack structure for a document file switch control mechanism so that the new file names can be extracted in order together with the file names obtained in the preceding time and copying those file names to the document medium. CONSTITUTION:A name 11 of a document file which is under handling is registered to a file name stack register 7, and several types of document file name groups which are recently used are recorded in the order of older ones. These name groups are always copied to an exclusive copy area 3 in a document medium 1 to avoid the double registration of the same file name. Then a keyboard 6 delivers a command to switch a present document file A to B and therefore the document file A on a document memory 10 is replaced with an old document file A. Then the document file B which is newly requested is fetched to the memory 10 from the medium 1. This switching action is repeated to produce the document file group in the medium 1.

Document processing device

Abstract: PURPOSE:To facilitate inputting in preparing a document by making information always visible, which is located in the next position of a cursor in preparing a document larger than a display surface. CONSTITUTION:A processor 10 consists of a processor as well as a memory storing a program and data as main structural elements, which execute a program on a memory, and controls the whole document processor. In a storage 14, a KANA(Japanese syllabary)-KANJI(Chinese character) conversion dictionary, prepared document and its control information and others are stored. Information inputted from a keyboard 12 is stored temporarily in a memory of the processor 10 and is displayed on a display 16. The processor 10 checks the code when an input from the keyboard 12 enters a buffer, and when the input is a character to be displayed, the processor 10 writes the buffer contents in a position fixed by present row and column pointer and processes a curson travel. The device firstly increases the present column pointer by one, compares the value of the present renewed column pointer with that of a display end terminal pointer, and if both values are equal, the device checks that the present column pointer value reaches the row end of the document.

Secret code communication system

Abstract: PURPOSE:To improve the confidentiality of document communication by using a registered external character depending on the specific handwriting of a user as a secret code in a communication network accommodating a docement processing unit. CONSTITUTION:The document processing unit 2 is accomodated to a communication network 1 and the system is constituted so as to attain mutual document communication, and the communication network 1 is provided with an information service center 3 and a secret code registering device 5. The center 3 registers and offers a document formed by the processing unit 2 and the registering device 5 stores the secret code by which the utilization of a registered document by a personnel other than a specific personnel is prevented. As the secret code, an external character registered by the document processing unit 2 by using an external registration function is used. Since the registered external character depends on the handwriting specific to the user, the mimicry by the 3rd party is disabled thereby improving the confidentiality remarkably.

Document processing system

Abstract: PURPOSE: To discriminate whether a blank space formed at the end of a line is an intentional blank space or that for display control, by setting a specific character code showing invalidity at the position of a half-em character in case an em character is set at the half-em character position at the end of a line. CONSTITUTION: A memory 2 is controlled via a processor 1 and both em and half-em characters are written mixedly on a buffer 5 in response to the input of a keyboard 4 and displayed on a display device 6. In this case, a special character code showing invalidity is set at the position of a half-em character if an em character is set at said half-em character position at the end of a line of a buffer 5 by a processor 1. Thus the em character is shifted to the head of the next line. In such a way, it is decided whether a blank space formed at the line end is an intentional space or the one for display control. Then the blank space for display control can be used effectively. COPYRIGHT: (C)1987,JPO&Japio
