Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a ticket creation device that transfers information written in the name field of a commuter pass purchase application form onto a commuter pass.

For example, a device that transcribes information written in the name field of a commuter pass purchase application form optically scans the information in the name field, converts it into an electrical signal, and prints it on the commuter pass. As shown in Figure 1, in the commuter pass purchase application form, a frame 1a or a line (not shown) is printed in the name column 1 indicating where to enter information, and the information, that is, the name 2 is printed in the frame 1a or on the line. I am starting to write . In addition to the name, information such as age and gender is actually written.

Therefore, when the information 2 written in the name field 1 is optically scanned and transferred, the information other than the required information may be placed in the frame 1 due to the misalignment of the application form.
There was a drawback that even the a or line was sometimes transferred onto the commuter pass, making it extremely unsightly.

The present invention has been developed in view of the above circumstances, and its object is to provide a ticket creation device that can reliably print the information of the portion to be transferred.

The present invention will be explained below based on an embodiment shown in FIGS. 2 and 3. FIG. 2 shows a commuter pass purchase application form used in this device. In the figure, 11 and 12 are column display marks indicating the range for writing names, etc. on the application form 10, and 14 is a field display mark indicating the name, age, gender, etc. written in the transcription column 13 between the marks 11 and 12. It is information.

Next, FIG. 3 is a block diagram of the optical system and electric circuit showing the configuration of this apparatus. In the figure, reference numeral 15 denotes an illumination device that illuminates the transfer column 13 of the application form 10, and the reflected light from the transfer column 13 is guided to a light receiving element, such as a line image sensor 17, via a rotating mirror 16. The output of the line image sensor 17 is amplified to a predetermined level via an amplifier 18, and this signal is input to a binarization circuit 19 where it is A/D converted. Information 1 in the binarized transcription column 13
4 is inputted to the column display mark detection circuit 20, the positions of the column display marks 11 and 12 are detected, and the column display marks 11 and 1 are detected and cut out.
A mask signal that emphasizes only the internal information 14 surrounded by 2 is led to an AND circuit 21 which is an extraction means. This AND circuit 21 is connected to the binarization circuit 19.
Binarized signal from and above column display mark detection circuit 2
When ANDed with the mask signal from 0,
Information in the mask signal, i.e. column display mark 1
Only the internal information 14 surrounded by 1 and 12 is sent to a printing unit (not shown) and printed as a certificate. Note that 22 is a control section that is connected between the line sensor 17 and the column display mark detection circuit 20 and controls the output of the column display mark detection circuit 20.

As explained above, according to the present invention, a simple field display mark is written in a transfer field of a paper such as a ticket application form, and the field display mark is detected by the detection means. Since only the information in the area defined by the column display mark is imaged and printed on the ticket, there is no possibility that information other than the necessary information will be transferred to the ticket. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the generation of an unsightly transfer pattern as in the conventional method. Furthermore, the present invention
When detecting and cutting out the internal information specified by the field display mark from the transcription field of the application form, even if noise etc. is included and the information is detected and cut out, the AND circuit can be used to detect and cut out the internal information specified by the field display mark from the transcription field of the application form. By configuring the information and the internal information specified by the column display mark to be ANDed, it is possible to reliably remove noise during detection extraction. Therefore, the internal information specified by the column display mark can always be printed on the ticket as accurate information that does not include noise.
