INFORMATION INPUT DEVICE, ITS METHOD, RECORDING MEDIUM, AND TWO-DIMENSIONAL BAR CODE PRINTER

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To surely and quickly input information recorded in a document by recording a two-dimensional(2D) bar code including information related to characters recorded in the document in the same document and utilizing information obtained from the 2D bar code for character recognizing processing. SOLUTION: A bar code reading part 18 acquires bar code information 22a from a 2D bar code and stores the information 22a in a storage part 22. A character recognition part 20 executes character recognition processing for each of blocks recording respective character strings of a document image stored in a sheet buffer 14. Namely the recognition part 20 extracts a character pattern in each block, collates each character pattern with dictionary data to recognize characters and stores character recognition result information 22b in the storage part 22. A control part 10 changes the information 22b by using the information 22a stored in the storage part 22 and prepares reading information to be finally inputted.
