[0002] In today's era of rapid digital information development, text processing plays a key role in many fields. Whether it's academic research, corporate office work, legal affairs, or literary creation, it involves a large amount of text content processing. In today's era of rapid digital information development, text processing plays a key role in many fields. Whether it's academic research, corporate office work, legal affairs, or literary creation, it involves a large amount of text content processing.
[0003] Contract review is a crucial task in corporate offices. Companies must carefully compare different draft contract versions to ensure consistency, compliance, and the protection of their interests. However, manual contract comparison often requires the involvement of personnel from multiple departments, requiring repeated review and verification. This process is cumbersome and extremely inefficient, increasing operating costs and potentially leading to missed business opportunities.
[0004] Manual text comparison is prone to visual fatigue and misjudgment, as it's difficult for humans to maintain high concentration for extended periods. This is especially true when text contains specialized terminology, complex grammatical structures, or similar expressions, making it even more difficult to guarantee accurate human judgment. For example, in legal documents, a subtle difference in wording can lead to significant changes in legal meaning, and manual comparison may not accurately identify these potential risks. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art and to provide a text comparison device that can quickly and accurately perform text comparison.

[0032] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a structural diagram of a text comparison device according to an embodiment of the present utility model.
[0033] In one embodiment, the text comparison device includes: an operating table 101; a first recognition area 102, which is provided on the operating table 101 and is used to place documents; a second recognition area 103, which is provided on the operating table 101 and is provided on one side of the second recognition area 103 and is used to place documents; a first OCR scanner 104, which is connected to the operating table 101 via a first connecting rod 105 and is provided above the first recognition area 102 and is used to perform OCR text recognition on the first recognition area 102; and a second OCR scanner 104, which is provided on the operating table 101 and is provided on the second recognition area 103. The CR scanner 106 is connected to the operating table 101 through the second connecting rod 107. The second OCR scanner 106 is arranged above the second recognition area 103. The second OCR scanner 106 is used to perform OCR text recognition on the second recognition area 103; the information processing device is arranged in the operating table 101. The information processing device is electrically connected to the first OCR scanner 104 and the second OCR scanner 106. The information processing device is used to compare the text recognized by the first OCR scanner 104 and the second OCR scanner 106; the display screen 108 is arranged on the operating table 101. The display screen 108 is used to display the comparison results.
[0034] The text comparison device of the present application can improve the efficiency of text comparison and has good parallel processing capabilities. The first OCR scanner and the second OCR scanner are provided in the device, which can respectively perform OCR text recognition on the files placed in the first recognition area 102 and the second recognition area 103 at the same time, and can simultaneously carry out the acquisition of two text information. Compared with the method of identifying and comparing different files in sequence, it greatly saves time and effectively improves the efficiency of the overall text comparison. It is particularly suitable for scenarios that require frequent comparison of large amounts of text content, such as in large-scale document review, multi-version manuscript proofreading and other tasks, and can quickly obtain two pieces of text information and enter the comparison link.
[0035] The text comparison device of this application ensures accurate comparison and independent, precise recognition. Two independent OCR scanners each scan and recognize corresponding recognition areas, avoiding confusion and omissions that may arise from repeatedly switching scan objects or processing multiple documents in the same scanning process. This device can more accurately capture the text content of each document, providing a reliable foundation for subsequent information processing devices to perform accurate text comparisons. For example, when comparing two contracts for subtle differences in terms, accurate OCR recognition can ensure that every word and punctuation mark is correctly extracted, accurately identifying inconsistencies and reducing comparison errors caused by recognition errors.
[0036] The text comparison device of the present application has good operational convenience. The integrated design integrates the first recognition area 102, the second recognition area 103, the OCR scanner, the information processing device and the display screen 108 on the operating table 101, forming a relatively compact and fully functional whole. The operator does not need to operate or transfer files back and forth between multiple different devices or scattered areas. He only needs to place the file to be compared in the corresponding recognition area. Subsequently, a series of processes such as recognition, comparison and viewing results can be completed on the same operating table 101. It is convenient and fast, reduces the difficulty and workload of operation, and improves the convenience of work.
[0037] The text comparison device of the present application can present the results visually. By setting up a display screen 108 for intuitive display, the results of the comparison by the information processing device can be clearly and intuitively displayed. The operator can directly view the specific differences between the two texts on the display screen 108, such as which words are different, whether the order of paragraphs has changed, whether there is any new or deleted content, etc., without having to use other complicated methods to analyze and sort out the comparison results, which makes it easier to quickly understand and grasp the text comparison situation, and then make corresponding decisions in a timely manner, such as deciding whether to adopt a certain version of the text content.
[0038] The text comparison device of the present application has a wide range of applicability and is compatible with a variety of text types. Due to the use of OCR (optical character recognition) technology, as long as the text on the document has a certain degree of clarity and recognition, whether it is a paper document, a printed manuscript, or a paper version printed out of an electronic document, it can be placed in the recognition area for text recognition and comparison. It can adapt to text files of different sources and formats, and can play a role in multiple fields such as office, publishing, and archive management to meet diverse text comparison needs.
[0039] In one embodiment, the text comparison device includes: an operating table 101; a first recognition area 102, which is provided on the operating table 101 and is used to place documents; a second recognition area 103, which is provided on the operating table 101 and is provided on one side of the second recognition area 103 and is used to place documents; a first OCR scanner 104, which is connected to the operating table 101 via a first connecting rod 105 and is provided above the first recognition area 102 and is used to perform OCR text recognition on the first recognition area 102; and a second OCR scanner 104, which is provided on the operating table 101 and is provided on the second recognition area 103. The CR scanner 106 is connected to the operating console 101 via a second connecting rod 107. The second OCR scanner 106 is positioned above the second recognition area 103 and is used to perform OCR text recognition on the second recognition area 103. An information processing device is positioned within the operating console 101 and is electrically connected to the first and second OCR scanners 104, 106. The information processing device is used to compare text recognized by the first and second OCR scanners 104, 106. A display screen 108 is positioned on the operating console 101 and is used to display the comparison results. A keyboard 109 is positioned on the operating console 101 and is used to input information. The keyboard 109 includes numeric keys, direction keys, a delete key, a return key, and an enter key. The keyboard 109 facilitates page selection and operation mode selection.
[0040] Furthermore, it also includes at least one of the following: a wireless network module, a Bluetooth module or a network cable interface.
[0041] The text comparison device is equipped with a wireless network module to achieve convenient network connection and data sharing, and facilitate remote collaboration. By connecting to a wireless network through the wireless network module, the text comparison device can be connected to a local area network or the Internet. In a multi-person collaboration scenario, staff members in different locations can remotely access the device, upload text files that need to be compared, or obtain comparison results. For example, in a company, employees from branches in different regions jointly participate in the review of an important project document. They can send the document versions of their respective parts to a text comparison device connected to the wireless network for comparison, and then view the results in real time. There is no need for personnel to gather in one place, which greatly improves collaboration efficiency and breaks through geographical restrictions.
[0042] The text comparison device can connect to external storage resources such as cloud servers in real time via wireless networks, allowing for timely access to the latest text comparison rules, software updates, and other content. This ensures that the comparison algorithms and databases used by the device's information processing unit are always up to date, improving the accuracy and functional integrity of text comparisons. Furthermore, comparison results can be conveniently stored in the cloud for backup, preventing local data loss and achieving effective integration and secure storage of data resources.
[0043] For scenarios where the device needs to be used on the go frequently, such as when conducting field research or working in temporary offices, as long as there is wireless network coverage in the area, the text comparison device can be used to carry out work anytime and anywhere without relying on a fixed wired network environment, making office work more flexible and convenient.
[0044] The text comparison device is equipped with a Bluetooth module, enabling convenient short-range pairing and data transmission. The Bluetooth module can easily pair and connect with other nearby Bluetooth-enabled devices (such as smartphones, tablets, and laptops). Users can easily transfer text files stored on their phone to the text comparison device for comparison, or send comparison results back to their phone for review and further processing. This simple and quick operation eliminates the need for cumbersome wired connections, enabling seamless integration between devices and improving data exchange efficiency. For example, while on the go, a worker might receive an urgent document requiring immediate comparison on their phone. Using the Bluetooth module, they can quickly transfer the document to the portable text comparison device for processing and provide timely feedback on the results.
[0045] The text comparison device is equipped with a network cable interface, enabling stable and high-speed data transmission. The network cable interface provides a stable and reliable wired network connection. Compared to wireless networks, which may be subject to signal fluctuations and interference, connecting to network devices such as routers and switches via a network cable ensures that the text comparison device can achieve a continuous, stable, and high-speed data transmission rate when performing text comparison-related data transmission, such as uploading large text files to the server or downloading updated content. This reduces data loss and transmission interruptions caused by network instability, ensuring the smooth and efficient execution of the entire text comparison process.
[0046] Network cable interfaces generally support higher bandwidth. When comparing files containing a large number of images or complex text formats, a large amount of data needs to be transmitted. Network cable interfaces can meet the needs of quickly transmitting these large data files, avoiding transmission jams and long waiting times, improving the timeliness of data transmission, and thus improving the overall efficiency of text comparison work.
[0047] Wired network connections often have more advantages in security than wireless networks. In some situations with high data security requirements, such as when an enterprise handles text comparison of confidential documents, connecting to the internal LAN through a network cable interface can effectively reduce the risk of external network attacks and illegal intrusions to obtain text comparison data, thereby ensuring the confidentiality of text content and the security of the comparison work.
[0048] In one embodiment, the text comparison device includes: an operating table 101; a first recognition area 102, which is provided on the operating table 101 and is used to place documents; a second recognition area 103, which is provided on the operating table 101 and is provided on one side of the second recognition area 103 and is used to place documents; a first OCR scanner 104, which is connected to the operating table 101 via a first connecting rod 105 and is provided above the first recognition area 102 and is used to perform OCR text recognition on the first recognition area 102; and a second OCR scanner 104, which is provided on the operating table 101 and is provided on the second recognition area 103. The CR scanner 106 is connected to the operating table 101 via a second connecting rod 107. The second OCR scanner 106 is positioned above the second recognition area 103 and is used to perform OCR text recognition on the second recognition area 103. The information processing device is positioned within the operating table 101 and is electrically connected to the first and second OCR scanners 104, 106. The information processing device is used to compare the text recognized by the first and second OCR scanners 104, 106. The display screen 108 is positioned on the operating table 101 and is used to display the comparison results. The first and second connecting rods 105, 107 are telescopic rods.
[0049] The first and second connecting rods 105, 107 are configured as telescopic rods to accommodate different document sizes. Different text documents may vary in size, such as regular A4-sized documents and large-format drawings, reports, and other documents containing text. The telescopic rods flexibly adjust the height of the first and second OCR scanners, enabling them to accurately align with documents of varying sizes placed in the first and second recognition areas 102, 103, ensuring comprehensive and complete OCR recognition of the document text. For example, when a large engineering drawing is placed for extracting the textual information marked on it, the connecting rods can be extended to position the scanner at an appropriate height to scan and recognize the entire drawing. If a regular-sized contract document is placed, the connecting rods can be shortened to ensure accurate scanning and recognition of the textual content on the contract.
[0050] In one embodiment, the text comparison device includes: an operating table 101; a first recognition area 102, which is provided on the operating table 101 and is used to place documents; a second recognition area 103, which is provided on the operating table 101 and is provided on one side of the second recognition area 103 and is used to place documents; a first OCR scanner 104, which is connected to the operating table 101 via a first connecting rod 105 and is provided above the first recognition area 102 and is used to perform OCR text recognition on the first recognition area 102; and a second OCR scanner 104, which is provided on the operating table 101 and is provided on the second recognition area 103.
