[Problem to be solved by the invention]

Conventional seal verification machines equipped with stationary reading input devices are widely used in financial institutions, government offices, and others. To register a registered name, the registration slip must be fixed at a predetermined position on the stationary stand of the human-powered image reading device. In addition, in this case, the stamping position or entry position on the slip may be misaligned, the direction may be crooked, or the entry format for the slip may be different, even within the same financial institution, and even more so at government offices. Therefore, if it does not fit the reading device, accurate registration becomes impossible, and the reading part must be changed by operation all the time to match the reading part, or the slips must be made in the same format (in reality, it has a wide range of uses). Therefore, there were issues such as the need to change the history (impossible). Furthermore, if an attempt is made to read not only a seal but also an account number, customer number 1 personal identification number, and ID number (hereinafter referred to as a slip order), the above problem becomes even more serious.

This invention was made in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, and it is possible to read not only seals and signatures but also slip orders, and it can be read at a relatively free location without being fixed. It is possible to input data accurately and accurately, even when there is a deviation in the continue position or direction of the slip, or a difference in format.
The purpose of this invention is to obtain a slip reading method that allows quick registration.

[Means to solve the problem]

The slip reading system according to the present invention reads a stamp or signature and a slip order individually with a handy image reading device whose reading range is a range that can read the stamp or signature and the slip order individually.

[Effect]

The slip reading method of the present invention reads the seal or signature and the slip order independently using a handy image reading device, so it is suitable for financial institutions.

In reading slips that are frequently used in government offices and other places, even if the slips have various formats, they can be read, and there is no need to set the slip reading position, allowing accurate and quick reading.

This is an interface section for connecting with.

Next, the operation will be explained. To register a seal imprint, etc. in a slip reader such as a seal verification machine, the registration image is read from the registration slip (6) using the image reading input device t+51 connected to the slip reader control unit main body (1). The image data thus obtained is transmitted to the slip reader control unit body +11 and stored in the external storage device (2).

To register your name, place the registration slip (6) on a flat surface.
@3 As shown in Figure 3, the tip of the image reading input device (5) is placed in close contact with the area to be read so as to completely cover it, and positioned so that the briquette, signature, or slip order can be read independently. Push button switch for starting reading (7
) to start Y-taking and register.

For example, when registering the seal imprint on slip (6),
To enter the registered name, first operate the dedicated keyboard (4) in accordance with the instructions displayed on the CRT display (3) and place the seal inquiry machine in a state where it is waiting to start reading. At this point, the image reading input table bt +61's reading waiting state display LE
D+81 lights up. Then, place the slip (61) on a flat surface, fix it tightly to the reading part with the tip of the reading input device (6), and confirm that the reading waiting status display LED +81 is lit. Press the push button switch 171 to start reading. At that point, the reading waiting state display LED +81 goes out and the reading operation display LED +91 lights up. While this reading operation is in progress, the reading input device (51 and Ji+61 is fixed. When reading is completed, the read image data is stored from the slip reader control unit body +l+ to the external storage device t+21. After that, the display LED +91 during reading operation is The lights go out and the registration is sold.

If the operation of the slip reader such as a seal verification machine goes into the registration reading waiting state by operating the keyboard (4), the main body fi+
48 is transmitted to the image reading input table @ (51 through the image reading human powered device interface section (+51 + signal interface section 041). The control section (11) of the reading input device judges this, and the front thread section At Ql, F

When 7) is pressed, the image reading (camera) section 1o+ is operated according to the judgment of the control section Ql). The image data obtained by the image sensor in the camera unit fio+ is transmitted to the main body (!) through the signal interface unit θ.
The image data is transmitted to the external storage device (21) via the external storage device interface section (+81) of the image reading input table!+51.

In the above embodiment, LE is used to display the status of the handheld image reading input device when it is waiting to start reading and when the reading operation is in progress.
D is used, but the same effect can be achieved by providing a liquid crystal display window or providing a buzzer sound generation function to indicate the status. Also, if the book reading input device is equipped with input keys such as 10 keys as a man-machine interface,
In addition to setting the operation of the seal verification machine to the reading start waiting state by operating the keyboard on the main body side as in the above example, it is also possible to set the operation from the reading input device side. In this case, a plurality of hand-held reading input devices can be connected to one seal verification machine main body. In addition, an image reading input device (5
1 is a device to be read 9 at the tip of the device (+1) in order to read each seal, signature, and slip order individually.
Although we have shown an example in which the part is completely covered, even if it is not completely covered, for example, it can be read only when there is a focus, and the in-focus range can be read separately as described above. There are also various means such as attaching an accessory near the reading window so that the distance from the control window of the device (5) to the 9 parts to be read is always constant. is not limited to the above implementation.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, the present invention uses a method in which eggs, signatures, and slip orders are each read individually using a handheld image reading device. Even if the format is various, it can be read, and there is no need to set the reading position of the slip as in the past, and accurate and quick reading is possible.
