Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a form collation system that performs matching between forms when collating a predetermined number of forms and enclosing them in a sealed body.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In recent years, a plurality of forms are collated, enclosed in an envelope, and sealed automatically. In particular, it is also common to print out, print, and send variable data with different prescribed contents for each destination customer, since the same form is sent regardless of the destination customer such as a catalog or pamphlet. Even in this case, it is now possible to automatically collate forms with different contents and enclose and seal them in an envelope. Therefore, it is necessary to reliably collate a plurality of forms for each destination.
[0003]
Conventionally, when collating multiple types of forms with different contents for each destination, for each destination, a code identifying the customer of the destination is printed on each form, and this code is read and verified The matching is aimed at by doing. Examples of such code matching include OCR (Optical Character Reader) and OMR (Optical Mark Reader).
[0004]
In the case of OCR, individual characters and symbols as codes are printed on each form to be collated, the characters and symbols are read by a camera, and this is converted into binary bitmap data. By referring to the character code dictionary and recognizing a character as a character code, it is determined whether or not they are the same character. In the case of OMR, an individual mark (for example, a barcode) as a code is printed on each form to be collated, and the barcode is read by a mark sensor (barcode reader) and coded. Collation matching is performed by specifying a collation target.
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
By the way, depending on the type of form, etc., the code printed for matching as described above is generally a management code for identifying a destination customer, and printing such a management code is a destination. There are cases where it is not preferred by the customer, and there are cases where a code for matching cannot be printed. In such a case, collation from printing on each form is performed in order according to a predetermined sequence.
[0006]
However, when packing or enclosing other forms (catalogues, etc.) during the process from collating to sealing to envelope or sealing, or when packing other forms (catalogues, etc.), or when the line is disconnected during transport There is a problem that a lot of problems occur, and it is complicated to check the corresponding forms for each destination customer in the recovery work of the worker. Further, even when a code is printed on each form, there is a problem that a system for recognizing the code requires a dictionary such as a font and the entire system is expensive.
[0007]
Accordingly, the present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object thereof is to provide a form collation system that does not require a code for collation matching and constructs the system at a low cost.
[0008]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, in the invention of claim 1, a predetermined type of first form in which variable data areas having different print contents are provided for each customer, and the corresponding first form are subject to collation. Then, when a predetermined number of second forms provided with the same variable data area are conveyed and collated, the form collation system takes a matching between collation targets, and before collation, A predetermined number of first imaging means for imaging a predetermined print content of the customer-specific information in the variable data area of the first form, and the variable data of the predetermined number of second forms before collation A predetermined number of second imaging means for imaging a predetermined print content of the customer-specific information in the area, and correspondence information between the first form and the predetermined number of second forms for each customer Based on the form information and the form information, the first form Association processing means for associating and holding the image picked up by the first image pickup means and the image picked up by the second image pickup means for the second form, and after collating, the first image A predetermined number of third imaging means for imaging the same part as the part imaged by the first imaging means for the form, and the second imaging for the predetermined number of second forms after collation Pattern matching between a predetermined number of fourth imaging means for imaging the same part as the part imaged by the means, an image taken by the first imaging means and an image taken by the third imaging means, and A matching unit that performs pattern matching between a captured image by the second imaging unit and a captured image by the fourth imaging unit, and determines a collation target based on the association held by the association processing unit; Result of discrimination of collation target by collation means In response to a configuration having a signal output means for outputting a predetermined output signal.
[0009]
According to the second to sixth aspects of the present invention, “the first to fourth imaging units may be fixed in a single or plural number corresponding to a predetermined portion of the variable data area of the first form and a predetermined number of second forms. Installed ”configuration,
“The first and third imaging means are each installed in a single unit, and the first and third imaging means are moved in the variable data area of the first form so that the imaging portions are different. `` Equipped with movement drive means ''
“The second and fourth imaging means are each installed alone, and the second and fourth imaging means are moved so that the imaging portions are different in the variable data area of the second form. `` Equipped with movement drive means ''
“The first form and the predetermined number of second forms are conveyed so that the imaged portions by the first to fourth image pickup means are positioned on the upper surface and the lower surface, respectively, after collation” ,
“The third imaging unit and the fourth imaging unit are arranged to perform imaging at substantially the same location in the conveyance process after the first and predetermined number of second forms are collated”. is there.
[0010]
As described above, the first image pickup means images the predetermined print contents of the variable data area of the first form conveyed before collation, and the predetermined print of the variable data area of the predetermined number of second forms conveyed. The second image pickup means picks up the content and associates and holds the contents based on the form information. After collation, the third image pickup means picks up the same part of the first form and the fourth image pickup. The means picks up the same portion of a predetermined number of second forms, performs pattern matching of the respective picked-up images, and determines the collation target based on the association, and outputs a signal according to the determination result. That is, since matching at the time of collation is performed with the predetermined print contents of the variable data areas of the first and second forms, it is possible to eliminate the need for a code for collation matching, and pattern matching can be performed. Therefore, it is possible to construct a system at low cost without using font information such as OCR.
[0011]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. This embodiment shows a case where the form collating system according to the present invention is applied to an enclosing sealing system in which each collated form is enclosed in an envelope and sealed.
[0012]
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an example of a form collation system according to the present invention. In FIG. 1, a form collation system 11 includes a predetermined type of first form (described in FIG. 2) in which variable data areas having different print contents are provided for each customer, and the corresponding first form and collation target. When a predetermined number of second forms (described in FIG. 2) having similar variable data areas are conveyed and collated, matching between collation targets is taken. The matching processing unit 12 and the first to fourth imaging units 13 to 16 are included.
[0013]
The matching processing means 12 includes an image capturing means 21, form information 22, an association means 23, a buffer 24, a pattern matching means 25 that is a matching means, and a signal output means 26. Is to be built. Here, the association means 23 and the buffer 24 constitute an association processing means. The form information 22 is data obtained from the outside, and may be stored once in the matching processing unit 12 as in the present embodiment, or may be read as needed as an external storage medium. The first and second forms are transported so that the imaged portions by the first to fourth imaging means 13 to 16 are positioned on the upper surface and the lower surface after collation, respectively. The illustration is omitted.
[0014]
The first image pickup means 13 picks up a predetermined print content of customer-specific information in the variable data area of the first form before collation. Arranged). The second image pickup means 14 picks up a predetermined print content of customer-specific information in the variable data area of the second form before collation. Arranged).
[0015]
Further, the third image pickup means 15 picks up the same part as the part picked up by the first image pickup means 13 on the first form after collation. Arranged). The fourth image pickup means 16 picks up the same part as the part picked up by the second image pickup means 14 on the second form after collation. Arranged). The third image pickup unit 15 and the fourth image pickup unit 16 are arranged to perform image pickup at substantially the same place in the conveyance process after the first form and the predetermined number of second forms are collated ( This will be described with reference to FIG.
[0016]
The image capturing unit 21 in the matching processing unit 12 captures images captured by the first to fourth imaging units 13 to 16, respectively. The form information 22 holds correspondence information between a corresponding first form and a predetermined number of second forms for each customer. The association means 23 associates the image captured by the first imaging means 13 for the first form and the image captured by the second imaging means 14 for the second form based on the form information 22. Are held in the buffer 24.
[0017]
The pattern matching unit 25 performs pattern matching based on the image data of the image captured by the first image capturing unit 13 and the image captured by the third image capturing unit 15, and the image captured by the second image capturing unit 14 and the fourth image. Pattern matching is performed based on image data with an image captured by the imaging unit 16, and a collation target is determined based on the association held in the buffer 24 constituting a part of the association processing unit. Then, the signal output means 26 outputs a predetermined output signal according to the result of the collation target discrimination by the pattern matching means 25.
[0018]
Here, FIG. 2 shows an explanatory diagram of an example of a form for performing collation according to the present invention. FIG. 2A shows the first form, and FIG. 2B shows the second form. In FIG. 2A, the first form 31 is an example of a form on the first page called “Kagami” among a predetermined number of forms sent to each customer. For example, an address and name that are information specific to the customer of the destination are printed, and a mark (bar code) for identifying the customer as appropriate and a variable data area 32 on which the number is printed are provided at least It is. That is, the first and third imaging means 13 and 15 image any one of the print contents (predetermined number of characters) arbitrarily determined in the variable data area 32. The first and third imaging The means 13 and 15 both capture the same part in the variable data area 32.
[0019]
In FIG. 2B, the second form 33A is, for example, a description sent to the customer following the first form 31 and following the second page. For example, a telephone number is printed. Variable data area 34 and a variable data area 35 on which details to be presented to the customer are printed. That is, the second and fourth imaging means 14 and 16 image any one of the print contents (predetermined number of characters) arbitrarily determined in the variable data area 34 or the variable data area 35. The same part in the variable data areas 35 and 36 is imaged.
[0020]
FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram for explaining the matching process in the collation of this system. In FIG. 3, for example, a “patent thick” portion in the variable data area 32 is imaged when the first form 31 is conveyed and positioned at the first imaging means 13 portion. On the other hand, of the telephone numbers in the variable data area 34 among the variable data areas 34 and 35 when the second form 33A is transported and positioned at the second imaging means 14, it is “23-45”. Image the part. The image “Principal Patent” captured by the first imaging unit 13 and “23-45” captured by the second imaging unit 14 are stored in association with each other.
[0021]
Therefore, when the first form 31 and the second form 33A are collated, a third image pickup is performed on the same part as the part imaged by the first image pickup means 13 in the variable data area 32 of the first form 31. The image 15 is picked up by the means 15 to obtain the image “Principal Patent”, and the fourth image pickup means 16 picks up the same portion of the variable data area 34 of the second form 33A as the image picked up by the second image pickup means 14. As a result, an image “23-45” is obtained.
[0022]
The image captured by the third image capturing means 15 “Principal Patent” and the held image captured by the first image capturing means 13 “patent thick” are pattern-matched, and the fourth image capturing means 16 A pattern comparison is made between the captured image “23-45” obtained by the above and the captured image “23-45” held by the second imaging means 14 to determine whether they match.
[0023]
In this case, by specifying the last form of the second form 33A by confirming the number of second forms 33A accompanying the first form 31 based on the form information 22 as described above, The captured image to be subjected to pattern matching that is held is specified. In the pattern matching, each captured image is binarized (for example, image data of bitmap data), and is determined to be the same when the matching rate is higher than a predetermined threshold value.
[0024]
As a result of the determination, when the pattern matching for the first form 31 and the pattern matching for the second form 33A are both the same, the first form 31 and the second form 33A are properly collated. For example, the signal output means 26 outputs a signal indicating that it is normal (for example, counts with this signal), and the conveyance is continued. Further, if any of the pattern collations does not match, it is determined that an incorrect collation has been made, and an error signal is output from the signal output means 26. With this error signal, for example, the conveyance drive is stopped and a message to that effect is displayed.
[0025]
Next, FIG. 4 shows a flowchart of matching processing in collation of this system. In FIG. 4, first, one of the conveyed first forms 31 is imaged at a predetermined location (“patent thick”) in the variable data area 32 by the first imaging means 13, and the captured image is obtained. Is captured by the image capturing means 21 (step (S) 1). On the other hand, the second form 33A that has been conveyed is imaged at a predetermined location (“23-45”) in the variable data area 34 by the second imaging means 14, and the captured image is captured. The insertion means 21 takes in (S2).
[0026]
Therefore, the associating means 23 associates the image captured by the first image capturing means 13 (“Principal Patent”) and the image captured by the second image capturing means 14 (“23-45”) with the buffer 24. (S3). Further, the association means 23 refers to the form information 22 to determine whether there is another second form 33A for the first form 31 (S4). If there is a subsequent second form 33A (S5), the process returns to S2. If there is no second form 33A following the first form 31 (S5), the processing by the association means 23 for the first form 31 is terminated.
[0027]
Subsequently, after the first form 31 and the predetermined number of second forms 33A are collated, the third image pickup means 15 is picked up by the first image pickup means 13 in the first form 31. The image capturing means 21 captures the image captured at the position (“Principal Patent”), and the fourth image capturing means 16 captures the image at the position captured by the second image capturing means 14 in the second form 33A. The captured image (“23-45”) is captured by the image capturing means 21 (S6).
[0028]
Therefore, the pattern matching unit 25 takes out the image captured by the first imaging unit 13 from the buffer 24, compares it with the image captured by the third imaging unit 15 (“patent thick”), and 24, the image picked up by the second image pickup means 14 is taken out, collated with the image picked up by the fourth image pickup means 16 ("23-45"), and it is determined whether they match (S7). ). Then, the signal output means 26 outputs a signal corresponding to the result of discrimination by the pattern matching means 25 as described above (S8).
[0029]
In this way, since matching at the time of collation is performed with the predetermined print contents of the variable data areas 32, 34, and 35 of the first form 31 and the predetermined number of second forms 33A, a special for collation matching is performed. A code can be made unnecessary. Furthermore, since matching is pattern-matched, it is possible to construct a system at low cost by eliminating the need for font information such as OCR, and because discrimination is performed using image data (patterns), the degree of freedom of ambiguity is high. The system outage rate and quality assurance weight can be easily changed.
[0030]
Next, FIGS. 5 and 6 are schematic views of an encapsulating and sealing system to which the present system is applied. The enclosed sealing system 41 shown in FIG. 5 constitutes an integrated system in FIGS. 5 and 6, and FIG. 5 is a target portion of the form collation system 11 of the present invention. In FIG. 5, first the first form 31 is printed as shown in FIG. 2 (A), and the first continuous form 42 and the second form 33A are printed as shown in FIG. 2 (B). And a continuous second continuous form 43 arranged in parallel.
[0031]
Cutter portions 44A and 44B, feed portions 45A and 45B, folding portions 46A and 46B, and feed portions 47A and 47B are arranged in order in the respective transport directions of the first and second continuous forms 42 and 43. And the 2nd imaging means 14 is arrange | positioned above the conveyance direction of the sending part 47B. A collating transport line 48 is arranged substantially perpendicular to the transport lines of the first and second continuous forms 42 and 43.
[0032]
The collation conveyance line 48 performs a predetermined number of so-called tact conveyances, and the first image pickup means is provided below the predetermined number of tact conveyance portions when the first form 31 is conveyed on the collation conveyance line 48. 13 is arranged. The second form 33A is collated with the second form 33A on the first form 31 at the tact portion where the second form 33A is located. Further, the third image pickup means 15 is arranged below and the fourth image pickup means 16 is arranged upward as substantially the same place in the predetermined tact portion after collation.
[0033]
Subsequently, in FIG. 6, an encapsulated sealed conveyance line 49 that is partially overlapped and adjacent to the collating conveyance line 48 in the conveyance direction is arranged. In the collating transport line 48, predetermined types of enclosed slips 51A, 51B,... Are respectively supplied to the collating transport line 48 in the transport direction in which the third and fourth imaging units 15 and 16 are arranged. A number of enclosed form supply units 50 are arranged in the same direction as the collating conveyance line 48. On the other hand, in the sealed sealing conveyance line 49, a sealed body supply unit 52 for supplying the sealed body 53 is disposed, and for example, a mark (barcode or number) is read at a predetermined transport position with respect to the sealed object 54 after sealed. A code reading means 55 is arranged.
[0034]
In such an encapsulating and sealing system 41, in FIG. 5, the continuous body of the first form 31 supplied from the first continuous form 42 is cut into the first form 31 as a single form by the cutter unit 44A, It is sent to the folding part 46A by the feeding part 45A and is bent into, for example, a Z-fold. At this time, the address portion (the portion of the variable data area 32) is bent so as to be downward, and is supplied to the collation transport line 48 by the feeding portion 47A, and is disposed below after a predetermined number of tact transports. The above-described captured image is captured by the first imaging unit 13. Then, the sheet is conveyed to the collating position by a predetermined number of tact conveyance.
[0035]
On the other hand, the continuous form of the second form 33A supplied from the second continuous form 43 is cut into the second form 33A as a single form by the cutter unit 44B and sent to the folding unit 46B by the feeding unit 45B. For example, it is bent into a Z-fold. At this time, the portions of the variable data areas 34 and 35 are bent so as to be on the upper side, and after being sent by the feeding unit 47B, the above-described picked-up images are picked up by the second image pickup means 14 arranged on the upper side. The
[0036]
Therefore, as described above, the captured image by the first imaging unit 13 and the captured image by the second imaging unit 14 are associated with each other by the association unit 23 and held in the buffer 24. Further, if there is a second form 33A associated with the first form 31 based on the form information 22, a buffer is obtained by further associating a captured image by the second imaging means 14 with the next second form 33A. 24.
[0037]
Then, the second form 33A is collated on the first form 31 at the tact portion of the collation position of the collation transport line 48. After transporting a predetermined number of tacts after collation, the lower third imaging means 15 images the same part as the part imaged by the first imaging means 13 in the first form 31, and the upper fourth imaging The means 16 images the same part as the part imaged by the second imaging means 14 in the second form 33A (the uppermost one when there are a plurality of forms) to obtain a captured image. The matching process in this case is as described above, and a description thereof will be omitted.
[0038]
In this way, the first form and the second form are transported so that the imaging portions by the first to fourth imaging units 13 to 16 are positioned on the upper surface and the lower surface, respectively, after collation. After collating, the imaging unit 15 and the fourth imaging unit 16 are arranged to perform imaging at substantially the same location in the conveyance process after the first and predetermined number of second forms 31 and 33A are collated. Imaging can be performed, and reliable matching can be performed.
[0039]
Subsequently, in FIG. 6, after the first form 31 and the predetermined number of second forms 33A, which are properly collated, are conveyed by a predetermined number of tacts, predetermined enclosed forms 51A, 51B,. .. Are sequentially supplied and collated, and all the enclosed enclosed slips 51 are collated and conveyed to the enclosing sealing position. On the other hand, in the sealed sealing conveyance line 49, the sealed body 53 supplied from the sealed body supply unit 52 encloses and seals the first and second forms 31, 33A and the enclosed form 51 collated at the sealing position. This is a sealed material 54.
[0040]
The sealing body 53 is formed with a window, for example, and the address portion of the sealed first form 31 is exposed from the window. For example, a mark (bar code or number) of the addressed portion exposed from the code reading means 55 arranged below is read from the sealed article 54, and the delivery destination is confirmed. Then, the sealing material 54 is sequentially stocked in a stacker (not shown).
[0041]
In the above embodiment, the case where the first and second forms 31, 33A are overlapped and collated substantially the same is shown (for this purpose, the respective imaging portions are positioned on the lower surface and the upper surface). Also, the second forms 31 and 33A may be collated by shifting them so that the imaging portions are not particularly hidden. In this case, the first to fourth imaging means 13 to 16 may be arranged in the same direction.
[0042]
Next, FIG. 7 shows a block diagram of another embodiment of the present system. In FIG. 7, the form collation system 11 includes a position control unit 61 and a driving unit 62 which are movement driving units, and the other configurations are the same as those in FIG. In this case, each of the first to fourth imaging units 13 to 16 has a single configuration, and the position control unit 61 replaces the first to fourth imaging units 13 to 16 with the first configuration based on the set value. The position control is performed so that the imaging portions are different in the variable data areas 32, 34, and 35 of the predetermined number of forms 31 and the predetermined number of second forms 33A, and the driving means 62 performs the first to first positions based on the position control. The fourth imaging means 13 to 16 are moved.
[0043]
FIG. 8 is a schematic diagram for explaining the collation matching process in FIG. FIG. 8 shows a case where the first to fourth imaging means 13 to 16 are moved by the position control means 61 and the driving means 62. That is, the first imaging unit 13 and the third imaging unit 15 are moved to a position where, for example, the image “Taro Taro” is captured, and the second imaging unit 14 and the fourth imaging unit 16 are configured to display the image “ It is a case where it moved to the position which images "3-456".
[0044]
As a result, matching processing can be performed without confusion even if the names in the first form 31 that are continuously supplied are, for example, “Patent Taro” and “Taichi Patent”, and the same applies to the second form 33A. It is. That is, even when the imaged portions of the first form 31 or the predetermined number of second forms 33A that are continuously supplied have the same print content, the imaged portions are differentiated from those of other customers. Is something that can be done.
[0045]
7 and 8 show the case where the single first to fourth imaging means 13 to 16 are moved to change the imaging position, but a plurality of first to fourth imaging units are not moved, but moved. This is the same even if the imaging means 13 to 16 are arranged.
[0046]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the first aspect of the present invention, the first imaging unit images the predetermined print content of the variable data area of the first form conveyed before collation, and the predetermined number of the first number conveyed. The second image pickup means picks up the predetermined print contents of the variable data area of the second form, associates them with each other based on the form information, and after collation, the third image pickup means matches the first form. The fourth imaging means images the same part of a predetermined number of second forms and performs pattern matching of the respective captured images to determine a collation target based on the association, Matching at the time of collation with the specified print contents in the variable data area eliminates the need for a code for collation matching and pattern matching for matching eliminates font information and reduces the cost of the system so Those that can be built.
[0047]
According to the second aspect of the present invention, the first to fourth image pickup means can be installed in a single or plural fixed manner, and in particular, by installing a plurality of the image pickup means, it is possible to perform collation matching in other print content portions in the variable data area. Thus, even if the imaging portions of the continuous first form or second form have the same print contents, they can be distinguished from those of other customers by changing the imaging portions.
[0048]
According to the third and fourth aspects of the present invention, the first to fourth imaging units are installed as a single unit, and each of them is moved within the variable data area so that the imaging parts are different. Even if the imaged portions of the second form or the second form have the same print contents, they can be distinguished from those of other customers by changing the imaged portions.
[0049]
According to the fifth and sixth aspects of the present invention, the first form and the second form are transported so that the imaging portions by the first to fourth imaging means are positioned on the upper surface and the lower surface, respectively, after collation. By arranging the third image pickup means and the fourth image pickup means to be picked up at substantially the same place in the conveyance process after the first and predetermined number of second forms are collated, Imaging can be performed and reliable matching can be performed.
