Ledger Sheet Recognition System for Automated Data Formatting
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing ledger sheet recognition systems require manual input of item values into the core system, which is inconvenient for users due to format compatibility issues between the extracted data and the core system's format.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus and method that performs ledger sheet recognition, references association information to arrange item values in a compatible output order, and generates output data compatible with the core system's format, eliminating the need for manual input.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If manual input of item values is used to ensure format compatibility with the core system, then data accuracy is improved, but user convenience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by automatically extracting item values from ledger sheet image data and arranging them in the required output order before data input, eliminating the need for manual format conversion and ensuring both accuracy and convenience
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables self-service by automatically performing data extraction, format conversion, and arrangement operations without requiring user intervention, allowing the system to serve itself in preparing data for the core system while maintaining accuracy and improving convenience
2Adaptability or versatility
If manual format conversion is performed to achieve compatibility with the core system, then data compatibility is improved, but processing time deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system replaces the mechanical manual process of format conversion with an automated information processing system that extracts item values from images, determines their output order using association information, and generates compatible output data automatically, significantly reducing processing time while maintaining compatibility
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the parameter of data format automatically by using association information to determine the correct output order of item values, transforming extracted data into core system compatible format through automated parameter adjustment rather than manual conversion
3Productivity
If automated data extraction is implemented without format arrangement, then processing speed is improved, but data compatibility deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by pre-storing association information that defines the correct output order of item values, and uses this information to automatically arrange extracted data in the required format before output, ensuring compatibility is maintained alongside processing speed
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces association information as an intermediary element that bridges the gap between extracted item values and the required output format, enabling automated processing while ensuring the generated data is compatible with the core system through the mediating role of pre-stored order information

AI summary
An information processing apparatus includes circuitry. The circuitry performs ledger sheet recognition on ledger sheet image data, and refers to an association information storage area storing association information representing an output order of a plurality of item values of each of a plurality of item names. The plurality of item values are acquired based on the ledger sheet recognition. The circuitry further generates output data in which the plurality of item values of the each of the plurality of item names are arranged in the output order represented by the association information. The circuitry further outputs the generated output data.
