[0022] Hereinafter, an example of an embodiment of the disclosed technology will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

[0023] FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a schematic configuration of a form system 10 according to the present embodiment.

[0024] 1, a form system 10 includes an information processing device 20, a client terminal 40, and an input device 60. These devices are connected to a network (not shown) and can communicate with each other via the network. As an example of this network, the Internet, a LAN (Local Area Network), a WAN (Wide Area Network), etc. are applied.

[0025] The information processing device 20 performs OCR (Optical Character Recognition) processing on image data of multiple documents including forms input through the input device 60, and manages a series of processing flows for outputting the results of the OCR processing to a predetermined output destination. The specific configuration and operation of the information processing device 20 will be described later.

[0026] The client terminal 40 transmits various instructions related to the OCR process to the information processing device 20. The various instructions include, for example, an instruction to start reading information of image data, an instruction to display the result of reading information of image data, and the like. The client terminal 40 also displays various information such as the result of the OCR process performed by the information processing device 20 in response to the various received instructions, and notifications related to the OCR process. For example, the client terminal 40 is a general-purpose computer device such as a server computer or a personal computer (PC). Although only one client terminal 40 is illustrated in FIG. 1, this is not limiting, and multiple client terminals 40 may be prepared and, for example, the client terminals 40 may be used for different processes.

[0027] The input device 60 inputs image data to be subjected to OCR processing to the information processing device 20. Examples of the input device 60 include a general-purpose computer device such as a server computer or a PC, and an image forming device having a scanning function, a printer function, a FAX function, etc. In addition to the input device 60, image data may also be input to the information processing device 20 from the client terminal 40.

[0028] Next, an overview of the form system 10 will be described.

[0029] The form system 10 is a system in which an information processing device 20 performs OCR processing on image data input via an input device 60, and outputs the results of the OCR processing to a predetermined output destination.

[0030] In the OCR process, the information processing device 20 manages various processes, including (1) business design and operation verification, (2) data input, (3) data reading, (4) form discrimination, confirmation and correction, (5) reading result confirmation and correction, (6) business check, (7) data output, and (8) return. In this embodiment, the OCR process refers not only to the process of simply reading characters and symbols from image data, but also to post-processing such as character correction.

[0031] As an example of the management of various processes, (1) business design and operation verification, (2) data input, (3) data reading, (6) business check, and (7) data output processes are each automatically executed by the information processing device 20. Also, as an example of the management of various processes, (4) document discrimination, confirmation, and correction, and (5) reading result confirmation and correction processes are each accepted by input by the user via the client terminal 40. Also, as an example of the management of various processes, (8) return process may be automatically executed by the information processing device 20 or may be accepted by input by the user via the client terminal 40.

[0032] In the (1) business design and operation verification process, job rules are created that include read definition settings, output settings, and business check settings. In the read definition settings, for example, a read range is set, which is the range in which image data information is read in the "(3) data reading" process. More specifically, for example, a definition may be set such that the item value, which is the value, is read from near the right of the item extracted as the key. In the output settings, for example, a file format and output destination of the output data output in the "(7) data output" process are set. In the business check settings, for example, required input items in the form to be detected in the "(6) business check" process, and formats such as the number of characters that can be entered are set.

[0033] In the (2) data input process, image data is accepted as an input from the input device 60. The accepted image data is registered as a job, which is an execution unit of the "(3) data reading" process.

[0034] In the (3) data reading process, the information of the image data in the job is read using a job rule for the job to be executed, selected by the user from among the job rules created in the process of "(1) Business Design and Operation Verification". As an example, in this process, the form included in the image data in the job is identified (hereinafter referred to as "form identification") and characters and symbols within the reading range are read. Note that the job rule selected by the user for one job does not have to be a single one. When the user selects multiple job rules for one job, the image data is processed using a set including multiple job rules, that is, a job rule set. In this case, for each form represented by the image data, a job rule for the identified type is applied from among the multiple job rules according to the type identification result. In the case where the process is performed using a job rule set, the process according to each job rule is hereinafter referred to as a sub-job. The job rules, job rule sets, and sub-jobs will be described in detail later with reference to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3.

[0035] In the (4) form identification, confirmation, and correction process, the image data in the job is divided into records that indicate the forms included in the job based on the results of the form identification performed in the "(3) Data Reading" process. After that, in this process, the divided records are displayed and the user can confirm and correct the form identification.

[0036] In the process of (5) checking and correcting the read result, the read result of the characters and symbols within the read range obtained in the process of "(3) Data reading" is displayed, and the user can check and correct the read result.

[0037] In the (6) task check process, errors in each preceding process are detected by the task check setting included in the job rule for the job selected by the user from among the job rules created in the process of "(1) Task design and operation verification." The detection results may be presented to the user.

[0038] (7) In the data output process, output data is created using the output settings included in the job rules for the job selected by the user from the job rules created in the process of "(1) Business design and operational verification," and the created output data is output to a predetermined output destination.

[0039] In the (8) return process, the process executed in the OCR process is returned to the process one or more steps before. As an example, the return is instructed by the user from the client terminal 40 during the execution of various processes such as "(4) Document discrimination, confirmation, and correction" and "(5) Read result confirmation and correction." Also, as an example, the return is instructed from the client terminal 40 of the administrator depending on the result of the check by the administrator performed between the processes of "(6) Business check" and "(7) Data output."

[0040] In the above OCR processing, the process of "(1) business design and operation verification" is executed before the processes after "(3) data reading" are performed, i.e., before the form system 10 is put into operation. Furthermore, the process of "(1) business design and operation verification" may be executed during the operation of the form system 10, when the processes after "(3) data reading" are being performed. As an example, the job rules created in the process of "(1) business design and operation verification" before the operation of the form system 10 can be appropriately modified according to the results of the process of "(5) checking and correcting the reading results" during the operation of the form system 10.

[0041] Next, the job rule, the job rule set, and the sub-job will be described with reference to FIG. 2 and FIG.

[0042] Job rules are, for example, definitions for determining and identifying the target document type, rules for correcting the data resulting from the identification and for detecting errors when an error occurs, and definitions of output settings. Here, rules for detecting errors include checking the consistency of amounts, and output setting definitions refer to settings for the format and destination when outputting. In the example shown in Figure 2, the job rules refer to definitions and rules for processing document A of type A. One job rule processes one type of document. As shown in Figure 2, a job is made up of the data of document A to be processed and the job rules for document A.

[0043] A job rule set is a bundle of job rules. When the processing target in a job is data containing a mixture of multiple types of forms, a job rule set is used. The information processing device 20 determines which job rule the type of form identified in the previous process of OCR processing matches, and processes each type of form based on the determined job rule. The job rule set in the example shown in FIG. 3 represents the definition and rules for processing form A of type A and form B of type B. In this case, there are two types of forms processed in one job, and processing is performed for form A and for form B. Here, the processing of the form according to the job rule for form A and the processing of the form according to the job rule for form B are each called a sub-job.

[0044] Both the job rule and the job rule set are set in the (1) business design and operation verification process in the OCR process of the form system 10 according to the present embodiment. The job rule and the job rule set may be determined in advance or may be arbitrarily set by the user, and multiple job rules and job rule sets may be set.

[0045] Next, the output display of the form system 10 according to this embodiment will be described. The output display described below can be output to the client terminal 40 or the like in each of the above-mentioned processes (3) data reading, (4) form discrimination confirmation and correction, (5) reading result confirmation and correction, (6) business check, and (7) data output.

[0046] FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of the output display of the form system 10 according to the present embodiment. As shown in the selection display screen 110 of FIG. 4, the form system 10 according to the present embodiment can switch between a mode in which the data of the form to be processed is displayed by form type and a mode in which the data of the form is displayed by processing unit, which is the unit in which the data of the form is to be processed. Specifically, in the form system 10 according to the present embodiment, the user can select whether to display the list display in which a plurality of data of the form is arranged by form type or by processing unit of the data of the form on the selection display screen 110 of FIG. 4. In the form system 10 according to the present embodiment, a screen displaying the data of the form to be processed by form type is a first mode, and a screen displaying the data of the form by processing unit is a second mode, and the first mode and the second mode are switched and displayed according to a request from the user.

[0047] In the form system 10 according to the present embodiment, a form is a general term for standardized documents such as a book, a slip, and an application form that are used to enter and print information necessary for business or transactions. A type of form is a type of document such as a book, a slip, or an application form. In the selection display screen 110 of FIG. 4, the types of forms are simplified and shown as form A, form B, and the like. The processing unit of form data is a unit for processing data of the input form, and specifically, is a job rule or a job rule set. A job rule specifies the processing for data of a single type of form. A job rule set is a rule set that combines job rules, and specifies the processing for data of a form for each of multiple types of forms. For example, when it is known that the data input in the data input process contains only data of a single type of form, a job rule corresponding to that type can be set for the data of the form. However, even when it is known that the data input in the data input process contains only data of a single type of form, it is also possible to set a job rule set.

[0048] The selection display screen 110 of FIG. 4 allows the user to select whether to display the data of the form to be processed by the type of form or by the processing unit of the data of the form. In the selection display screen 110 of FIG. 4, the user can select either display by the type of form or display by the processing unit of the data of the form. By selecting either of them, a list of forms is displayed by the type of form or by the processing unit, as in the form display list 140. Here, the selection display screen 110 of FIG. 4 may allow the user to select a specific type from among a plurality of types of forms. In this case, the list of forms is displayed in the form display list 140 after being narrowed down to the forms of the selected specific type. Similarly, the selection display screen 110 of FIG. 4 may allow the user to select a specific job rule and a specific job set from among a plurality of job rules and a plurality of job sets. In this case, a list of data of the form is displayed in the form display list 140 for each selected specific job rule and job set.

[0049] In the example of the form display list 140 in Fig. 4, a second mode is displayed in which form data is displayed for each processing unit. When a specific "job rule set X" is selected as a processing unit from among multiple "job rule sets" on the selection display screen 110, the screen transitions to the example of the form display list 140 shown in Fig. 2. In the example of the form display list 140, job rules included in the same job rule set X are grouped together, and a list of form data is displayed for each job rule set X. For example, a list of forms (application form A, application form B, application form C) processed by a process name of 20191017_270, which is the name of a job executed in the job rule set X, is displayed as a group.

[0050] Next, a hardware configuration of the information processing device 20 according to this embodiment will be described below. Fig. 5 is a block diagram showing the hardware configuration of the information processing device 20 according to this embodiment.

[0051] As shown in FIG. 5, the information processing device 20 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 50, a memory 51, a storage unit 52, a communication I / F (Interface) 53, an input / output I / F 54, an input unit 55, an output unit 56, and a storage medium reader 57.

[0052] The CPU 50 is a central processing unit that executes various programs and controls each component. That is, the CPU 50 reads a program from the storage unit 52 and executes the program using the memory 51 as a working area. The CPU 50 controls each component and performs various arithmetic processing according to the program stored in the storage unit 52.

[0053] The memory 51 is made up of a RAM (Random Access Memory) and temporarily stores programs and data as a working area. The storage unit 52 is made up of a ROM (Read Only Memory), HDD (Hard Disk Drive), SSD (Solid State Drive), etc., and stores various programs including an operating system and various data.

[0054] The communication I / F 53 is an interface for communicating with other devices, and uses standards such as Ethernet (registered trademark), FDDI, or Wi-Fi (registered trademark).

[0055] The input / output I / F 54 is an interface that connects the information processing device 20 to an external device. In this embodiment, the information processing device 20 is connected to an external input device 60 and the like via the input / output I / F 54.

[0056] The input unit 55 is a component for performing various inputs, such as a keyboard, a mouse, etc. The output unit 56 is a component for outputting the form display list 140 to the client terminal 40 or the like, for example.

[0057] The storage medium reader 57 reads data stored in various storage media such as a CD (Compact Disc)-ROM, a DVD (Digital Versatile Disc)-ROM, a Blu-ray disc, and a USB (Universal Serial Bus) memory, and writes data to the storage media.

[0058] Next, a functional configuration of the information processing device 20 according to this embodiment will be described.

[0059] As shown in FIG. 6, the information processing device 20 includes, as its functional components, a setting unit 21, a receiving unit 22, a verifying unit 23, a detecting unit 24, and an output unit 25.

[0060] The setting unit 21 performs the process of (1) business design and operation verification in the above-mentioned OCR processing, and sets job rules including reading definition settings, output settings, and business check settings. Furthermore, the setting unit 21 also sets a job rule set that bundles multiple job rules.

[0061] The reception unit 22 performs the processes of (2) data input and (3) data reading in the above-mentioned OCR processing. Specifically, the reception unit 22 receives the input of image data from the input device 60, and reads the information of the image data in the job by using a job rule for the job to be executed that is selected by the user from among the job rules.

[0062] The verification unit 23 performs the processes of (4) form discrimination, confirmation and correction, and (5) reading result confirmation and correction in the above-mentioned OCR processing. The results of form discrimination and the reading results of characters and symbols within the reading range are displayed, and the user's confirmation and correction of form discrimination and confirmation and correction of the reading result are accepted.

[0063] The detection unit 24 performs the (6) business check process in the above-mentioned OCR process. Errors in each preceding process are detected by a business check setting included in the job rule for the job selected by the user from among the job rules.

[0064] The output unit 25 performs the process of (7) data output in the above-mentioned OCR process. It creates output data using output settings included in the job rules for the job selected by the user from among the job rules, and outputs the created output data to a predetermined output destination such as the client terminal 40.

[0065] The output unit 25 switches between a first mode in which data of a form to be processed is displayed for each type of form and a second mode in which data of the form is displayed for each processing unit.

[0066] Furthermore, the output unit 25 switches the display of a list in which a plurality of data items of a form are arranged, depending on the selection of either the first mode or the second mode.

[0067] Furthermore, when the first mode is selected, the output unit 25 displays the data of the forms arranged in the list by form type in association with the processing unit to which the data of the form belongs.

[0068] Furthermore, when the second mode is selected, the output unit 25 displays the data of the forms arranged in the list for each processing unit in association with the type of form represented by the data of the form.

[0069] In addition, when the second mode is selected, the output unit 25 displays in the list a group of data of a single or multiple forms processed in one processing unit in a manner that makes it possible to distinguish it from a group of data of a single or multiple forms processed in another processing unit.

[0070] FIG. 7 shows a narrowed-down result display screen 100 as an example of a display screen output by the output unit 25. This is a diagram of a first mode screen that displays data of forms to be processed by form type. Status 120 displayed at the top of FIG. 7 indicates the status of the processing situation. This indicates to the user in an easy-to-understand manner which part of the above-mentioned OCR processing (1) to (8) is being processed overall. In addition, the numbers shown under the items indicate the number of forms to be processed. For example, the example of status 120 in FIG. 7 indicates that there are 110 forms with a processing situation of "waiting to start" and 10 forms with a processing situation of "waiting for form discrimination confirmation."

[0071] The selection display screen 110 in FIG. 7 is a selection display screen for switching between a first mode in which the data of the form to be processed is displayed by form type, and a second mode in which the data of the form is displayed by processing unit, according to the user's selection. The selection display screen 110 in FIG. 7 performs a sorting function for sorting the data of the form to be processed, or a filter function for narrowing down and displaying the data of the form to be processed. As shown in the selection display screen 110 in FIG. 7, the information processing device 20 according to the embodiment of the present invention accepts the selection of "form type" or "processing unit" from the user when displaying the data of the form to be processed.

[0072] The execute button 130 in FIG. 7 is a button for executing a job selected by the user. Specifically, the execute button 130 is a button for executing a job for data of a form for which a check box in a form display list 140 described later has been checked by the user. More specifically, in the example shown in FIG. 7, the status of the data of the form associated with a job with a process name of "20191017_245" is "waiting for OCR confirmation and correction." Here, when the execute button 130 is pressed, the process of (5) checking and correcting the read result in the OCR process of the verification unit 23 is executed.

[0073] 7 displays form data arranged by form type or by processing unit of form data, depending on the selection on the selection display screen 110. For example, when application form A is selected on the selection display screen 110, the form display list 140 displays only application form A and arranges the form data.

[0074] In the case of FIG. 7, the user selects "Application Form A" from "Form Type" on the selection display screen 110, so the display in the example of FIG. 7 is the first mode display. In FIG. 7, the data displayed in the form display list 140 is data having job rules for processing the application form A to be processed, which has been divided into processing units. In the form display list 140, examples of other display items include "Processing Name," "Details," "Status," "Registration Date and Time," "Number of Copies Awaiting Confirmation," and "Number of Copies Confirmed." "Processing Name" is a name indicating a series of processes performed on form data. In FIG. 7, for example, 20191017_245 is given as a processing name.

[0075] The "Details" display item of the form display list 140 indicates whether the form data is processed by a single job rule or by a job rule set. In the example of FIG. 7, "Details" next to the process name "20191017_250" displays "Set". This indicates that the form data included in the job 20191017_250 is processed by a job rule set. In other words, the job 20191017_250 includes a job rule set as a processing unit for processing data of multiple types of forms. In this way, when display by form type is selected, the processing unit to which the form data belongs is displayed in the display of the form data.

[0076] The contents displayed in "Details" will be described later in the explanation of Fig. 8. Regarding the display items of other form display list 140, "Status" indicates the processing status of the data of the form being displayed and processed. "Registration date and time" is the date and time when the data of the form being processed was registered, and "Number of copies waiting for confirmation" and "Number of confirmed copies" show the number of copies, respectively, as numbers.

[0077] Fig. 8 is a diagram showing a display example of the second mode in which form data is displayed by processing unit. In Fig. 8, a user displayed in the narrowed-down result display screen 100 selects "job rule set X" of "job rule set" in "processing unit" on the selection display screen 110. The data of the form to be processed narrowed down by the selection display screen 110 is displayed on the form display list 140.

[0078] When displaying a list of data of forms processed by a job rule set as a processing unit, the form display list 140 displays a plurality of data of forms with the same processing name. A job including a job rule set has a job rule set for each type of form to be processed. Therefore, the data of forms to be processed is also displayed arranged by type of form. In this way, a part of a job including data of forms divided by type of form and a job rule for the data of the corresponding form in the job rule set is called a sub-job. For example, in the form display list of FIG. 8, data of three forms is displayed in a gray frame. The data of these three forms is data obtained by dividing the data of a form included in one job into application form A, application form B, and application form C. The data of a form representing application form A and the job rule for processing application form A constitute a sub-job. In the form display list of FIG. 9, data of forms included in a sub-job is displayed as a list. It can also be said that the form display list displays sub-jobs as a list.

[0079] Fig. 9 is a diagram showing another display example of the second mode in which form data is displayed by processing unit. The difference between Fig. 8 and Fig. 9 is that for the process name 20191017_271, only subjobs related to application form A and application form C are displayed, and the subjob related to application form B is not displayed. Even for jobs that have a job rule set, for forms of a type that have not been entered or imported, subjobs are not created when the data of the form to be processed is divided by processing unit, so as shown in Fig. 9, subjobs may not be displayed even if there is actually a job rule for application form B.

[0080] In addition, when the second mode of displaying by processing unit is selected on the selection display screen 110, the form display list 140 can display the form data grouped by processing unit in a manner that allows it to be distinguished from the data of other forms. For example, as shown in Fig. 8, in order to make it easier to understand the range of the sub-job group of the processing name 20191017_270, the color of the row in which the data of the form is displayed can be displayed in a different color from the row in which the data of the form of other processing units is displayed, or as shown in Fig. 9, the data group of the form of the target sub-job can be surrounded by a frame. In addition to these methods, the data of the form grouped by processing unit can be displayed in a manner that allows it to be distinguished from the data of the form of other processing units.

[0081] FIG. 10 is a diagram showing the relationship between a form, a job rule, a job rule set, and a job. As described above, a job rule is a definition and a rule for executing a process for a single type of form. Therefore, a single job rule is set for a single form. In FIG. 10, a job rule is set for each of form A, form B, and form C. On the other hand, a job rule set is a bundle of multiple job rules. In the example of FIG. 10, job rule set X is a processing unit including a job rule for form A and a job rule for form B. Similarly, job rule set Y is a processing unit including a job rule for form B and a job rule for form C. In FIG. 10, the job rule for form A is set as job 1, the job rule set X is set as job 2, the job rule for form B is set as job 3, the job rule set Y is set as job 5, and the job rule for form C is set as job 4.

[0082] Next, the operation of the information processing device 20 according to this embodiment will be described. Fig. 11 is a flow chart showing the processing of the information processing device 20 according to this embodiment. The processing of the information processing device 20 according to this embodiment is executed by the CPU 40 reading an information processing program stored in the storage unit 52 or the like.

[0083] In step S100, the CPU 40 preliminarily sets a job rule and a job rule set as the setting unit 21. The CPU 40 performs the process of (1) business design and operation verification in the above-mentioned OCR process. The setting of the job rule and the job rule set performed by the user may be accepted.

[0084] In step S102, the CPU 40, functioning as the reception unit 22, receives image data to be processed via the input device 14, and performs the processes of (2) data input and (3) data reading in the above-mentioned OCR process.

[0085] In step S104, the CPU 40 functions as the verification unit 23 to perform verification processes such as (4) document discrimination, confirmation and correction, and (5) reading result confirmation and correction in the above-mentioned OCR process, on the image data accepted by the acceptance unit 22 in the previous step S102.

[0086] In step S106, the CPU 40 performs the (6) business check process in the above-mentioned OCR process as the detection unit 24. Specifically, it detects a processing error for the form in the preceding process according to a job rule or a job rule set set for a job arbitrarily selected by the user from among all the job rules and job rule sets set by the setting unit 21 in step S100.

[0087] In step S108, CPU 40 determines whether or not a selection for outputting a display screen in the first mode has been accepted as output unit 25. If the user selects the first mode on selection display screen 110, that is, if the user selects "select from form type," the process proceeds to step S116. On the other hand, if the user does not select "select from form type," the process proceeds to step S110.

[0088] In step S110, CPU 40 determines whether or not a selection for outputting a display screen in the second mode has been accepted as output unit 25. If the user selects the second mode on selection display screen 110, that is, if the user selects "select from processing unit", processing proceeds to step S112. On the other hand, if the user does not select "select from processing unit", processing returns to step S108, and the selection of display by the user is accepted again on selection display screen 110.

[0089] In step S112, CPU 40, as output unit 25, accepts a selection of whether to output a display screen based on a job rule or a job rule set, and determines whether or not a selection has been made from a job rule. If the user selects "select from a job rule" on selection display screen 110, processing proceeds to step S120. On the other hand, if the user does not select "select from a job rule," processing proceeds to step S114.

[0090] In step S114, the CPU 40, as the output unit 25, accepts a selection of whether to output a display screen based on a job rule or a job rule set, and determines whether a selection has been made from the job rule set. If the user selects "select from a job rule set" on the selection display screen 110, the process proceeds to step S120. On the other hand, if the user does not select "select from a job rule set," the process returns to step S108, and the selection of the display by the user is accepted again on the selection display screen 110.

[0091] In step S116, CPU 40 as output unit 25 selects only the data of forms narrowed down by the type of form designated by the user from all the recorded jobs.

[0092] In step S118, CPU 40 controls output unit 25 to output a display screen in which the job selected in the previous step S116 is switched to the first mode.

[0093] In step S120, the CPU 40 as the output unit 25 selects, from all the recorded jobs, only the data of the form narrowed down by the filter of the job rule or job rule set designated by the user.

[0094] In step S122, the CPU 40 controls the output unit 25 to output a display screen in which the job selected in the previous step S120 is switched to a second mode.

[0095] As described above, according to the information processing device 20 of this embodiment, the data of the form to be processed can be switched and displayed depending on the selection of either a mode for displaying by form type or a mode for displaying the data of the form by processing unit. This makes it possible to display and manage the data of the form to be processed by the unit that the user wants to process or manage. Specifically, the data of the form is divided and managed by processing unit according to the job rule or job rule set, so that the display mode can be switched according to the user's selection to display the data of the form by the unit that the user wants to process or manage.

[0096] In the present embodiment, the information processing program is installed in the storage unit 42, but the present invention is not limited to this. The information processing program according to the present embodiment may be provided in a form recorded in a computer-readable storage medium. For example, the information processing program according to the present embodiment may be provided in a form recorded in an optical disc such as a CD (Compact Disc)-ROM or a DVD (Digital Versatile Disc)-ROM, or in a form recorded in a semiconductor memory such as a USB (Universal Serial Bus) memory or a memory card. The information processing program according to the present embodiment may be obtained from an external device via a communication line connected to the communication I / F 43.

[0097] In the above embodiment, the term "processor" refers to a processor in a broad sense, including general-purpose processors (e.g., CPU: Central Processing Unit, etc.) and dedicated processors (e.g., GPU: Graphics Processing Unit, ASIC: Application Specific Integrated Circuit, FPGA: Field Programmable Gate Array, programmable logic device, etc.).

[0098] In addition, the operations of the processor in the above embodiments may be performed not only by one processor, but also by multiple processors located at physically separate locations working together.
