Paper sheet processing apparatus and paper sheet processing method

Abstract

In a sorting apparatus (1), an image on the paper sheet is read by a scanner (14), and from the read image on the paper sheet, characters of the destination information are recognized by a character recognition unit (22). If the address information included in the destination information as a character recognition result obtained by the character recognition unit (22) matches with the address information having an out-migrant included in relocation information previously registered in a database (6), it is judged by a judgment unit (21) whether the receiver on the paper sheet is the out-migrant. If it has been judged that the receiver on the paper sheet is the out-migrant, a label on which the address information of a new address of the out-migrant is written is attached to an attaching position considering a description area of the destination information on the paper sheet by a label attachment unit (16).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to, for example, a paper sheet processing device and a paper sheet processing method for sorting paper sheets such as mail on which address information such as a name is written together with address information. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, in a sorting device, the sorting process is performed on the paper sheets by recognizing the address information written on the paper sheets. With regard to the e-mail with the address information of the relocation such as relocation, the staff judges whether it is sent to the emigrate or the immigrant based on the name information of the recipient. In addition, the staff member who judges that the mail is addressed to the moving-out person writes the address of the moving-out destination by handwriting or sticks a label on which the moving-destination address is printed. In order to automatically perform such work, in recent years, a sorting system has been proposed ...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, in the character recognition process of simply calculating the degree of similarity with the characters in the dictionary, the character string of the immigrant and the character string of the immigrant may be erroneously recognized.

That is, it is not easy to reliably discriminate whether the addressee is an out-migrant or an in-migrant only by ordinary character recognition processing based only on the similarity of each character

Therefore, in the process of distinguishing paper sheets including paper sheets issued to migrants, assistance of reliable confirmation of destination information by a human system is relied upon or improvement of identification accuracy of migrants and migrants degree etc. become a problem
