Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an input device for storing input data such as characters, symbols, marks, etc. from a form reader, keyboard, etc. in a storage device such as a floppy disk.

This invention relates to a data storage and aggregation system. An optical character reading device, generally referred to as document OCR, includes a recognition unit that recognizes characters, symbols, etc. on a form, a storage device that stores data obtained as a result of recognition,
It is composed of aggregation means for editing and aggregating the data.
That is, it sequentially reads (recognizes) multiple sheets of paper, sequentially stores the resulting input data in a storage device, determines the type of input data, and totals the input data for each type of input data. When storage of all input data is completed, this total data is stored in a storage device.

The type of input data means, for example, if the input data obtained by reading is a numerical value, it is determined to which category this numerical value belongs, and as a result of this determination, the numerical value is aggregated for each type. It is called a thing. In such systems, the amount of input data that can be stored at one time is limited because the capacity of the storage device is generally limited.

Therefore, if each piece of input data is stored until the storage device is full, there will be no space left to store the total results.

Therefore, in the past, in the case of a form reading device, the operator recognized in advance the number of forms that could be read at one time and read the forms while counting the number of forms. . However, this method has the disadvantage that the work becomes extremely complicated and the efficiency decreases significantly, especially in places where thousands of forms must be entered at one time, such as for collection data. It was hot.

Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide a novel input data storage and aggregation system that eliminates the above-mentioned drawbacks.The purpose of this invention is to sequentially store input data from an input device in a storage device and to An input data storage and aggregation system that determines the type of input data, aggregates the input data for each type of input data, and stores the aggregation results for each type in the storage device after the input data is stored. In the storage device, an area other than the input data storage area is set in advance for storing the total results, and when the storage position of the input data reaches a predetermined position in the input data storage area, a storage area corresponding to the position is set in advance. A plurality of positions are set at which a near-end signal is generated, and when input data from the input device is sequentially stored, the input data storage position in the input data storage area reaches the set first signal generation position. When the signal is generated, a near-end signal corresponding to the position is generated, and as the input continues, a near-end signal corresponding to the position is generated when the next signal generation position in the input data storage area is reached. You can achieve it.

The present invention will be explained in detail below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of a storage device according to the present invention. In the figure, 1 indicates an input data storage area, and 2 indicates a total data storage area. For example, a floppy disk is used as a storage device. For example, a floppy disk usually has 73 tracks and 26 sectors on each track, and addresses 01001 to 7302.
There are 6.

Assuming that 5 sectors are required in the present invention to store the aggregate data referred to in this application, in reality, input data can be stored in addresses 01001 to 7302.
Up to 1. Therefore, the input data storage area 1 is from addresses 01001 to 73021 as described above, and the total data storage area 2 is from addresses 73022 to 73026.

The first object of the present invention is to generate a near-end signal when the address of the storage device becomes 730211, that is, when input data storage area 1 becomes full while input data is being stored. As a second purpose, for example, divide the input data storage area 1 into two, section a in the figure is from addresses 01001 to 73011, and section b in the figure is from addresses 73012 to 73021, and the input data is sequentially stored. When the input data storage area up to address 73011 becomes full, a first near-end signal is generated to notify that the input data storage area is running low. Next, an embodiment of the input data storage collection system of the present invention will be explained with reference to FIG.

In the figure, 3 is input data, 4 and 11 are gate circuits, and 5
is an input buffer, 6 is a write circuit for storing data, and 7 is a write circuit for storing data.
1 is a floppy disk device, 8 is an input data type determination circuit, 9 is an aggregation circuit, 10 is a near-end detection circuit, 12 is a summation circuit, 13 is a buzzer, 14 is a display control circuit, and 15 is a display device.

Input data 3 obtained by a form reading device (0CR10MR, etc.) from a keyboard device is temporarily stored in an input buffer 5.

This input buffer 5 sends data for determining the type of input data and data to be totaled to an input data type determining circuit 8. Thereafter, the input data in the input buffer 5 is written to the floppy disk device 7 via the write circuit 6. On the other hand, the input data type determination circuit 8 determines the type of input data, and then stores the input data to be totaled in registers provided for each type of the totalization circuit 9. In addition, in the case of numbers such as monetary amounts, they are added sequentially for each type.

In this way, the input data is sequentially stored and aggregated.

The near-end detection circuit 10 always monitors the track number and sector in which the input data of the floppy disk 7 is stored, and when the track number and sector shown in FIG. Output. Therefore, in the near-end detection circuit 10, when the first near-end detection point of the input data storage area 1 shown in FIG. Also, the display control circuit 14
is displayed on the display 15 via. In addition, in FIG. 1, when the input data storage area 1 becomes full and the second near-end detection point is reached, an output signal is generated from the output line β and similarly sounds the buzzer 13 or the display control circuit 14. is displayed on the display 15 via the gate 4, the gate 4 is closed to prevent input data 3, and the total data is sent from the total circuit 9 to the floppy disk device 7 via the write circuit 6 by opening the gate 11. Store in.

In this way, in the present invention, when storing input data in a storage device, it is possible to ensure an area for storing total data.

Furthermore, since the near-end signal is issued before the input data storage area becomes full, the operator can prepare the next process in advance.
