Description

Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a slip receiving terminal system, and more particularly, to a slip input by a first device, which requires no input by a second device, and confirms the slip. The present invention relates to a slip reception terminal system that simplifies the operation as a whole by only making corrections. 2. Description of the Related Art At a bank counter, for example, a voucher has been conventionally processed on both the lobby side and the teller side. In other words, when the customer fills out the slip on the lobby side,
While viewing the slip received by the teller, enter the necessary information of the slip from the keyboard of the counter device installed on the teller side,
Processing has been completed. In this case, if the number of required slips is increased or a complicated key input operation is involved, the time required to input a slip increases on the teller side, thereby affecting the transaction processing time of one transaction. A transaction system that simplifies the operation of such transaction operations at bank counters, and in particular, saves labor on the teller side, is disclosed in, for example, Japanese Patent Publication No. 59-4.
It is proposed in, for example, Japanese Patent Publication No. 1223. According to this system, a display is provided on the teller side for monitoring the input operation of the customer to fill out the slip, and the teller checks what is displayed on the monitor and presses the confirmation button so that all the work is completed. Is configured. [0003] However, in the above-mentioned conventional system, during the operation of the transaction, the customer and the teller need to correspond on a one-to-one basis. Cannot be shortened, and the effect of labor saving is not as expected. On the other hand, in a situation where the demand for automated machines for banking online systems, which was introduced as a means of labor saving in banking operations, is increasing, the most important matter in counter operations using slips is to shorten the time of teller's slip input operation. It has become. As a solution to this problem, a slip input by a customer is conceivable, but there is a problem in simplification of operation and handling of a seal, and it has not been realized yet. The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to solve the above-described problems in the conventional technology, eliminate the need for a slip input operation on the second device side, and reduce the second device side. Then, it is enough to confirm and correct only , and they are asynchronous.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a slip reception terminal system that can improve the operation efficiency as a whole. [0004] The above-mentioned objects of the present invention are:
A lobby-side customer terminal device installed at the customer side for reading the input slip image, and a lobby-side customer terminal device

In the slip receiving terminal system according to the present invention, the image of the slip input in the first device is read and the data corresponding to the image is sent to the second device. In the second device, the received data is temporarily queued, then displayed in a predetermined order, and the teller makes corrections and confirmation inputs as necessary. As a result, the operation of the teller is greatly simplified as compared with the conventional system, and the operation of the customer is also simplified. As a result, it is possible to realize a slip reception terminal system in which the operation is simplified as a whole. Becomes An embodiment of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram of a slip reception terminal system according to one embodiment of the present invention. In the slip receiving terminal system according to the present embodiment, the slip receiving terminal device is divided into a first device installed on the lobby side of the bank and a second device installed on the teller side, and the first device The second device reads the image of the slip, recognizes the input items, and encodes it, and the second device performs only confirmation and correction. That is, in the slip receiving terminal system according to the present embodiment, among the slip items entered by the customer, the items previously input by the key again on the teller side are read as images by the first device, thereby the Is substantially unnecessary. Specifically, the image of the slip is read by the first device on the lobby side, a series of processes of OCR recognition and encoding are performed, and this data is transferred to the second device on the teller side. In the second device, the transmitted data is transmitted to the teller only when it is confirmed, corrected, and necessary.
Perform auxiliary input. As a result, labor saving of transaction acceptance input is possible. The above-mentioned first device includes an image reading mechanism such as an image OCR, a stacker such as a slip stack mechanism, a display mechanism such as a guidance CRT 4, and a second device such as a communication control mechanism. There are provided a data transfer mechanism 5, a printing mechanism 7 such as a printer for printing a receipt number, and a control mechanism (control device) 8 for controlling the input / output of these mechanisms and recognizing read data. On the other hand, the second device includes a file mechanism 6 for reading data such as a disk, a data transfer mechanism 9 for receiving data from the first device such as a communication control mechanism, and a high-definition C
A reception data display mechanism 10 such as an RT, a hard copy mechanism 11 such as a laser beam printer, a keyboard 12 for a teller operation, a data transmission / reception mechanism 13 with an upper station such as a communication control mechanism, and each of these mechanisms Control mechanism for input / output control and recognition processing of read data
(Control device) 14 is provided. The slip receiving terminal system according to the present embodiment configured as described above is provided with the following six functions.
And the function 2 are shared by the above-described first device, and the functions 3 to 6 are shared by the above-described second device. Function 1: Image reading function of slip 2: Recognition function of predetermined item of slip 3: Temporary queuing function of recognized data 4: Extraction function of queuing data 5: Display of image data of slip and OCR recognition code Function 6: Data transmission to the upper station The first device reads the image of the slip filled in by the customer, recognizes a predetermined item of the slip, and transmits the recognized data to the data transfer mechanism 5 by the data transfer mechanism 5. 2
To the device. In the second device, after the transferred data is temporarily queued, the queuing data is taken out according to the order, and the image data and the OC of the taken out slip are taken out.
The R recognition code is displayed on the display mechanism 10, checked and corrected by the teller, and necessary items are transmitted to the upper station. In this case, the first device and the second device are:
Since the processing can be executed asynchronously, it is not always necessary for the customer's work and the teller's work to correspond one-to-one, and the processing on the teller's side can be executed at high speed. FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing the operation of the slip processing in the first apparatus in the embodiment shown in FIG. A greeting is given to the customer at the bank counter on the display device 4 and guidance is displayed, so that the customer creates a slip (step 21) and inserts it into the image reading mechanism 2 (step 22). When reading is performed by the image reading mechanism 2, the reading is input to the control device 8. The control device 8 first performs a process of cutting out the recognition target item area of the slip with respect to the image data input from the image reading mechanism 2 (step 23). During this time, the display mechanism 4 displays "reading" (step 24). Next, the control device 8 recognizes the characters of the extracted image data and converts them into code information (step 25). Then, the recognition result is displayed on the display mechanism 4, and the customer is requested to confirm the account number, name, total amount, and the like based on the image data based on the code information (step 26). Here, if the customer presses the cancel key for a reason such as an error in the displayed image data (step 32), the slip is discharged and the customer is re-entered or canceled. Let the judgment go. After confirming the displayed image data and the customer presses the confirmation key (step 27), the display mechanism 4 displays "processing".
Is displayed (step 28), the printing mechanism 7 is activated, and the receipt number is printed on the slip (step 29). After that, the printed slip is stored in the stacker 3 (step 30), and the image data and character-recognized code data are transferred from the data transfer mechanism 5 to the above-described second device (step 31). The recognition result data transferred from the first device via the transmission path is received by the data transfer mechanism 9 of the second device and input to the control device 14 (step 37).
The control unit 14 sequentially queues the input recognition result data in the file mechanism 6 (step 38). The registered recognition result data is in a state of waiting for processing by the teller (step 39). FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the operation of the slip processing in the second apparatus in the embodiment shown in FIG. In the following, the operation of the second device for taking out, confirming, correcting data and transmitting data to the upper station will be described. In the second device, every time the processing of the slip is completed,
By making a request to take out the next data from the keyboard 12 (step 41), the control device 14 takes out the next queued registered recognition data from the file mechanism 6 (step 42) and sends it to the display mechanism 10. It is displayed (step 43). The control device 14 displays the slip image data and the OCR recognition code data read by the first device on the display mechanism 10 for confirmation and correction by the teller. The teller confirms the displayed contents, and performs correction input from the keyboard 12 only when correction is necessary (steps 44 to 46). When the contents are normal or when the correction input is completed, the teller instructs data transmission from the keyboard 12 to the upper station (steps 47 and 48). This allows
The control device 14 of the second device that has received the instruction instructs the transmission / reception mechanism 13 to transmit the processing result data to the upper station. According to the above-described embodiment, at the time of accepting a transaction, the slip entered by the customer is input as an image OCR, and after recognizing the input, the teller can confirm and correct the slip to complete the transaction. Is obtained. The above embodiment is merely an example of the present invention, and it goes without saying that the present invention is not limited to this. For example, in the above embodiment, the first device and the second device are provided on a one-to-one basis.
It is also possible to modify to install a second device on the platform. Further, in the embodiment shown in FIG.
It is configured to receive vouchers from customers,
After the processing in the first device is completed, it is possible to return the slip to the customer from the first device and bring it to the location of the teller. Further, in the above embodiment, the case where the present invention is applied to a bank online system is shown. However, the present invention is not limited to bank offices, but can be used in general financial business fields handling slips. It is not limited to a specific business. As described in detail above, according to the present invention, the slip input operation on the second device side is not required,
The second device has a remarkable effect that a slip receiving terminal system in which the operation is simplified as a whole by only confirming and correcting can be realized.
