DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a mail processing apparatus for reading an address or a postal code of a postal matter, and sorting the postal matter based on sorting information corresponding to the read address or the postal code. Alternatively, for a postal matter for which a postal code could not be read, an operator inputs an address or postal code while visually observing the entire image displayed on the display unit, and sorts the postal matter according to the corresponding classification information. And a video coding method.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Usually, a video coding system comprises:
It is provided with a supply section, an address recognition section, a code printing section, a code reading section, a sorting / stacking section, a mail ID printing section, a mail ID reading section, and a coding disk. First, the mail items set in the supply unit are taken out one by one. Here, the surface of the picked-up mail is optically scanned by the scanning unit to obtain an image image. Based on this image image, the address recognition unit recognizes the postal address and postal code as sorting information. Thereafter, based on the recognition result, the sorting information is converted into a corresponding code, and the code is printed at a predetermined position on the mail by a printer unit such as an ink jet printer. Thereafter, the code-printed mail is read by a code reading unit, and is sorted by a sorting / stacking unit in accordance with the code.

If the address recognition unit fails to recognize the sorting information, the mail as management information unique to the postal matter is sent.
Only the mail ID is printed by the mail ID printing unit and is collected separately from the above-mentioned sorting and collecting unit. At the same time as printing the mail ID, the image image obtained by the optical scanning is output to a coding disk in association with the mail ID, and the sorting information corresponding to the mail by the operator. Is manually entered. Here, the input classification information is
Is temporarily stored in association with the file ID.

[0004] Thereafter, when the mail having only the mail ID printed thereon is supplied again from the supply unit, the mail is returned to the mail I.
The mail ID is read by the D reading unit. By reading the mail ID, the classification information corresponding to the mail ID (the classification information manually input from the coding disc)
Is converted into a code, and the code is printed at a predetermined position of the mail by the code printing unit. Thereafter, the code-printed mail is read by a code reading section.
The sorting is performed by the sorting and accumulating unit in accordance with the code.

[0005]

As described above, when the address recognition section cannot recognize the section information, it is output to a coding disc. The operator manually inputs the sorting information corresponding to the mail while viewing the displayed image of the mail.

[0006] When characters described as sorting information are small in the mail displayed on the display unit, the operator enlarges the entire mail by specifying the magnification by key operation. Had been dealt with.

[0007] However, if the size of the characters described as sorting information in the mail is mixed, large and small,
When enlarging or reducing, there is a problem that characters other than the character having the optimum character size by enlarging or reducing become too large or too small.

[0020]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIG. 1, the video coding system comprises a reading sorting machine 1 for sorting mail items and a video coding device 2. The reading sorting machine 1 has a supply unit 10 for supplying the mail P and taking out the mail P one by one. The postal matter P taken out by the supply unit 10 is transferred to the scanner unit 1 by the transport path 10a.
It is transported to 1. S is a mode switch for designating online and offline processing.

The scanner section 11 scans the mail P for sorting information such as a destination address and a postal code, and outputs address image information as an image. This scanner unit 11
Is output to the address recognition unit 15 on the other hand. The address recognizing unit 15 recognizes section information from the acquired address image information. The operation of the address recognition unit 15 will be described later in detail.

The mail ID / code reading section 12 reads a mail ID or a code already printed on a mail. The bar code printer unit 13 is a mail item whose sorting information could not be recognized by the address recognition unit 15,
A mail ID or a code is printed as management information for each unprinted mail, and a code is printed. This code prints a code corresponding to the segment information based on the recognition result of the segment information in the address recognition unit 15 or the input result of the segment information from the video coding terminal 4 described later. The printing of the sorting information by the input from the video coding terminal 4 is performed on the corresponding mail P based on the result of reading the mail ID by the mail ID / code reading unit 12. The conversion of the classification information into the corresponding code is performed by the control unit 16.

The sorting section 14 is made up of a plurality of sorting boxes provided for each piece of sorting information.
The mail P is conveyed and accumulated in the corresponding sorting box based on the code reading result in step 2 or the printing result in the bar code printer unit 13. Also, mail ID
The postal matter P on which only the information is printed is collected and collected in a predetermined sorting box.

Next, a detailed configuration of the address recognition unit 15 will be described. As shown in FIG. 2, the photoelectric conversion unit 11a
The multi-valued image data supplied from is output to the area detecting section 21 and the area in which the address and the postal code are described is detected based on the shape and position of the area.

A character line in which an address and a postal code are described in the area detected by the area detecting section 21 is detected by the character line detecting section 22. The multi-valued image data output from the character line detection unit 22 is sent to a character detection unit 23 and converted into binary image data, and the characters of the character line detected by the character line detection unit 22 are converted into binary image data. In addition to detecting and cutting out one character at a time, the size (point number) of the character is detected. That is, in the character detection unit 23, the address (postal code)
Is detected and cut out.

The character supplied from the character detection unit 23, that is, the detected and extracted character is sent to the character / address recognition unit 24,
In the character / address dictionary 25, there are two types of character reference patterns: a reference pattern in a direction predetermined for each character and a reference pattern in a direction rotated by 90 degrees with respect to the direction. It is recognized by the matching method. Further, the character / recognition unit 24 responds to the rejection attribute (recognition result including rejected character information including the distinction between handwritten or printed characters / rejected character information including character size (number of points) / readable character / word). The table shown in FIG. 6 is created based on the reject data.

Further, the reject data control section 27 is constituted by outputting the contents of the table shown in FIG. 6 and the image memory 26 storing the image supplied from the photoelectric conversion section 11a to the video coding apparatus 2. .

The character / address recognizing section 24 is further adapted to distinguish between handwritten and printed characters, and to determine the address or postal code writing direction. As a method for distinguishing handwritten or printed type, for example, it is performed as described in JP-A-64-14682. That is, a parameter which is a characteristic of the read character is extracted, and the parameter is compared with a reference value to distinguish a handwritten character or a print type.

The parameters include (1) character height, (2) bottom position of character, (3) character width, (4) character pitch, (5) character area, (6) line , (7) Leftmost character position of line, (8) Line spacing.

As for the writing direction of the address and the postal code, the writing direction is determined according to which of the two reference patterns for each character in the character / address dictionary 25 has been recognized. For example, if a character is recognized by a reference pattern in a predetermined direction among the above two types of reference patterns, the line direction is already known by the character line detection unit 22. The writing direction is determined based on and the direction of the line. If the address or zip code of which the attribute is unrecognizable is one digit, the reject data control unit 27 outputs only the unrecognizable character as an image.

The video coding system 2 includes an image distribution server 3 and video coding terminals 4,. The image distribution server 3 determines whether the reject attribute (discrimination of handwritten or printed type / reject character information / read character /
The word recognizing result), the image, and the reject data corresponding to the recognizing result are distributed to the corresponding video coding terminals 4,... According to the reject attribute. As shown in FIG. It comprises a memory 32, a video distribution control unit 33, a timing control unit 34, and a desk input / output control unit 35.

The memory control unit 31 rejects the rejected attribute from the reject data control unit 27 and rejects according to the recognition result (partially recognized address and zip code as the recognition contents up to the middle of the image recognition unit 15). The data and the read image of the mail P are supplied, the reject data is output to the video distribution control unit 33, and the image is output to the image memory 26. Further, the memory control unit 3
Numeral 1 is for outputting an image stored in the image memory 32 to the corresponding video coding terminal 4 in accordance with the content of distribution from the video distribution control unit 33.

The image memory 32 sequentially stores the images supplied from the memory control unit 31. The video distribution control unit 33 determines the video coding terminal 4 to distribute by referring to the distribution table 33a based on the supplied reject attribute and the recognition result, and determines the determination result in response to an image request from the timing control unit 34. The data is output to the image memory 32. The distribution table 33a stores the number of the video coding terminal 4 corresponding to the reject attribute and the recognition result. Timing control unit 34
Outputs a request for image output from the desk input / output control unit 35 to the video distribution control unit 33, and reads the address and zip code from the desk input / output control unit 35 into the control unit 1 in the sorting machine 1.
6 is output. The desk input / output control unit 35
The input unit 4b receives input from the input unit 4b of each video coding terminal 4, and outputs an address and a postal code from the input unit 4b to the control unit 16 in the reading and sorting machine 1 via the timing control unit 34. A request for image output from the section 4b is sent to the video distribution control section 3 via the timing control section 34.
3 output.

Each of the video coding terminals 4,... Includes an image display section 4a such as a CRT, an input section 4b such as a keyboard, a CPU (not shown), and a main body 4c having a memory as shown in FIG. . The display unit 4a displays the entire original image 41 of the rejected mail, the address recognition unit 15
A window 42 is provided for the operator to input characters that could not be read by the input unit 4b.

It should be noted that each CP of the video coding terminal 4
U (not shown) has the function shown in the flowchart of FIG. Next, the operation of the embodiment of the present invention configured as described above will be described. First, supply unit 1
The mail P is set to 0, and the mail P
Are taken out one by one. The postal matter P extracted from the supply unit 10 is scanned by the scanner unit 11 from the postal matter P for sorting information such as the address and postal code, and the address image information as an image is output to the address recognition unit 15. Is done.

The address recognizing unit 15 recognizes section information from the acquired address image information. For mail items for which the section information could not be recognized by the address recognition unit 15,
Character recognition information as shown in the table of FIG. 6 is created for each mail ID.

A code corresponding to the sorting information is printed by the barcode printer section 13 on the postal matter P whose sorting information has been recognized by the address recognizing section 15. Then, the mail P is conveyed and collected in a sorting box corresponding to the code.

On the other hand, for the mail P whose sorting information has not been recognized by the address recognizing section 15, the sorting information is inputted from the video coding terminal 4 by manual input of an operator in the offline processing. Here, the offline processing means that a mail ID is first added to the mail P whose sorting information could not be recognized in the first processing,
In the third processing, classification information (information manually input from the input unit 4b of the video coding terminal 4) corresponding to the mail ID is added by a code.

That is, in the bar code printer section 13, the mail ID is printed as the management information of the postal matter, and the postal matter P code-printed by the bar code printer section 13 is as follows. Separately, they are integrated in the division unit 14. At the same time as this integration processing, the sorting information is manually input from the input unit 4 of the video coding terminal 4.

By the way, as shown in FIG. 3, the entire current image 41 is read from the image data read by the scanner unit 11 of the postal matter P whose sorting information could not be recognized on the display unit 4a of the video coding terminal 4, as shown in FIG. Is displayed.

That is, the CPU (not shown) of the video coding terminal 4 displays the image of the mail P on the display unit 4a by the processing shown in the flowchart of FIG. That is, in the flowchart of FIG.
The character size of each character is read from the table of FIG. 6 created in step 5 (step S1). Next, this step S1
The character size read in is determined (step S
2).

If it is determined in step S2 that the character size is smaller than 9 points, processing for enlarging the character block area and displaying it on the display unit 4a is performed (step S3).

On the other hand, if it is determined in step S2 that the character size is in the range of 10 to 19 points, the character size is displayed on the display unit 4a without being enlarged or reduced (step S2). S4).

If it is determined in step S2 that the character size is 20 points or more, the character size is reduced and displayed on the display unit 4a. That is,
The video coding terminal 4 enlarges, reduces, or outputs the characters displayed on the display unit 4a in accordance with the character size of each character with reference to the table of FIG. .

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4, if only part of the address "Yanagi" is small, only that "Yanagi" is enlarged and displayed as shown in FIG. Therefore, even if the characters constituting the mail or the address are mixed, the optimum display can be displayed on the display unit 4a by enlarging or reducing each character.

In the above embodiment, the characters are enlarged / reduced for each character. However, the entire address area may be enlarged or reduced by detecting the character size.

[0047]

As described in detail above, according to the present invention, the character is enlarged or reduced so that the size of the character becomes the reference size, and the image of the mail is displayed on the display means. Therefore, a video coding apparatus, a video coding method, and a video coding method capable of displaying characters of an optimal size on a display unit even when the size of characters described as mail sorting information is mixed and large. A sheet sorting machine and a sheet sorting method can be provided.
