The control unit 10 distributes the reading result from the OCR 1 to the first terminal device 2 and the second terminal device 3 in batches.

The first terminal device 2 takes in the read result from the OCR 1 in batch units sent by the operation of the control unit 10 into the terminal body 23, displays it on the correction display unit 22, and displays the keyboard 21 of the correction operator. The result of the used correction processing is transmitted to the control unit 10 via the bus 19 and the interface 18.

First, a batch form is set in the OCR 1 and an operator operates the keyboard 14 to send a start command based on a control program from the control unit 10 to the OCR 1. Starts.

At this time, the reading start time (time S shown in FIG. 4) is measured by the timer 11 and is set as read attribute information together with the batch number based on the control program. The time is also measured and these are also recorded in the intermediate file 13 as read attribute information.

In this case, the reading time of the first batch is a1 as shown in FIG.

Next, O for the first batch described above
The information on the result of reading by the CR 1 is awaiting verification and correction, is sent to the first terminal device 2 under the control of the control unit 10, and the correction process is started.

The correction start time and the correction end time at this time are measured by the terminal clock unit 24, and are used as terminal attribute information by the bus 19, the interface 18,
It is recorded in the intermediate file 13 via the control unit 10.

In the character information to be corrected in the first terminal device 2, the character number, line number, column number, O
It has a CR code, a reject flag, a pattern bitmap, etc., and embeds a corrected code separately from the OCR code for the corrected one. This makes it possible to finally determine whether or not the OCR 1 has been erroneously read.

Next, the sleep function during the correction processing (collation correction) in the first terminal device 2 will be described. .

In the correction process, the operator corrects a reject character or a misread character by looking at a line image or a character pattern. However, since the row image is a reduced image, there are not many cases where it is difficult to determine the row image, and it is necessary to perform operations such as original document confirmation for a few sheets out of about 100 forms. If this time is included in the correction time, it becomes difficult to obtain an accurate operation rate of the operator. Therefore, as a function of the first terminal device 2, the time of interruption of correction by pressing a special key is added. That is, key touch (ANY) of the operator performing the correction work
, The correction process is interrupted once, the key touch is performed again after the work such as confirmation of the original form, and the interruption time at this time is counted by the timer 24.
, And this is also used as terminal attribute information by the bus 1
9, via the interface 18 and the control unit 10 to record in the intermediate file 13.

As a result, accurate calculation of the operation rate of the operator's correction processing can be guaranteed.

Next, the calculation of the operation rates of the first terminal device 2 and the second terminal device 3 will be described.

The control unit 10 determines the total use time of the entire apparatus from the intermediate file 13, that is, the time when the OCR 1 starts reading for the first time and the final batch is completed for collation and correction (E-S in FIG. 4). ), The reading time of the OCR1, that is, the sum of the difference from the reading time of the OCR1 to the reading end time ((a1 + a2 +... An) in FIG. 4,

2k)｝], the intermediate batch waiting time, that is, the sum of the difference from the reading end time (intermediate file reception time) to the correction start time (in FIG. 4, the first batch is Z, the second batch and the third batch are Z Batch means waiting time 0), correct reading rate, incorrect reading rate, reject rate, that is, the number of correct reading characters: the total number of characters, the number of misread characters:
Each ratio of the total number of characters and the number of rejected characters: the total number of characters is calculated or determined by the determination unit 20.

Then, the file of the target terminal number is extracted from the intermediate file 13, and the difference between the time at which the correction is started for the first time and the time at which the last correction is completed is a,
When the actual number of corrected characters is b, the ratio of b: a is calculated by the determination unit 20 as the operation rate (operation rate of each operator) of the first terminal apparatus 2 or the second terminal apparatus 3. still,
The value of b is the sum of the number of misread characters and the number of rejected characters,
Either the number of misread characters or the number of rejected characters can be used.

Next, an example of calculating the full operation state of the image information processing apparatus will be described.

In this case, the following definitions are provided.

A is the batch average of the reading time, and T is the batch average of the correction time of the first terminal device 2 or the second terminal device 3.
If T ≦ A, one terminal device is sufficient.

If A <T ≦ 2 × A, two terminal devices are sufficient.

That is, the value obtained by rounding up the value of T / A to an integer is the number of units in the full operation state.

More specifically, a value obtained by rounding up the value of Expression 1 to an integer is the number of units in the full operation state.

(Equation 1)

Here, n is the number of batches, m is the number of batches processed by the first terminal device 2, k is the number of batches processed by the second terminal device 3, and in this case, n = m + k.

Next, the first terminal device 2 or the second terminal device 3
The case where the third terminal device 4 similar to that described above is added will be described.

In this case, the correction time t32 and the correction end time of the third terminal device 4 when the third terminal device 4 is added can be predicted by the arithmetic processing of the following equation (2).

[0059]

(Equation 2)

That is, when the third terminal device 4 is added and the third batch shown in FIG. 4 is processed, the predicted end time is E1 in FIG. Note that t32 is equal to the batch average T.

Stores all attribute information such as the total use time and batch wait time of the image information processing apparatus itself, and Image information processing method is characterized in that to perform a read operation management of the image information reading apparatus, each correction process management and overall management of the terminal device having any number. 9. Read attribute information such as a read start time and a read end time relating to a character information read operation, a correction start time and a correction end time relating to a correction process, a terminal number of each terminal device, and a total number of characters of the distributed character information. A storage processing program for each attribute information including terminal attribute information such as the number of corrected characters and the number of rejects, and total attribute information such as the total use time and the batch waiting time is read by an image information reading device, A storage medium for image information processing, wherein the storage medium is stored in association with a processing program relating to a correction process of a reading result by the CPU and a general management process by a main processing device.
