OCR Input Interface for Failed Character Recognition
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems face inefficiencies in operator input due to failed OCR processing, where items like postal codes or districts cannot be presented, leading to diminished typing efficiency.
Innovation Solution
The system acquires images from an existing VCD, performs OCR processing, and if it fails, it displays the image on a new VCD, allowing operator input for the character string, with the OCR input device recognizing and transmitting the input to the existing VCD, thereby enabling input for items like postal codes or districts.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the system accepts operator input for items where OCR processing failed, then the operator can manually input character strings, but the input items cannot be presented to the operator, diminishing typing efficiency
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary mechanism that bridges the gap between OCR processing and manual input. When OCR fails to recognize an item, the system presents the unrecogn化的 item information to the operator through the input screen, allowing manual input while maintaining context awareness. This intermediary presentation layer ensures that operators can efficiently input character strings for items where OCR failed, resolving the contradiction between manual input capability and typing efficiency.
2Loss of information
If the system displays the acquired image on the new VCD for operator input, then the operator can see the character string image, but the existing VCD cannot present the input item to the operator
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs a copying mechanism where the input screen on the new VCD creates a visual copy of the character string image acquired from the existing VCD. This copy is displayed to the operator, allowing the operator to see and input character strings while maintaining the connection to the original image data. The copying approach ensures that character string information is preserved and presented effectively, resolving the contradiction between information retention and input presentation.

AI summary
A system and an information processing method capable of presenting an item for which input is accepted are provided. The system according to an embodiment includes an image interface, an input/output interface, and a processor. The image interface acquires a character string image including a character string. The input/output interface is connected to an input/output device that displays an image and accepts input of an operation. The processor performs character recognition processing on the character string image, sets an item, for which input is accepted, related to the character string based on a result of the character recognition processing, displays an input screen including the character string image and item information indicating the item on the input/output device through the input/output interface, and accepts input of the item through the input/output interface.
