Data input system, data input receiving device, data input receiving method and computer readable medium

A data input receiving device, comprising:

• a storage unit that stores data;
• a reading unit that reads, on a form basis, an original image of each form filled with characters;
• a setting unit that extracts original image data pieces as a result of dividing, on a character basis, data of the original image of the form read by the reading unit, and sets identification information to each of the original image data pieces for defining positions thereof on the form;
• a generation unit that generates, for each of the original image data pieces extracted by the setting unit, character-associated information associated therewith;
• an original image data storage control unit that makes storage in the storage unit with a correlation among the original image data pieces, the identification information set to each of the original image data pieces, and the character-associated information generated for each of the original image data pieces;
• a display control unit that displays any of the original image data pieces selected in accordance with a predetermined procedure from the original image data pieces stored in the storage unit;
• a receiving unit that receives an input of text data for use to identify which character is represented by each of the original image data pieces displayed by the display control unit;
• and
• a text data storage control unit that makes storage in the storage unit by correlating the text data received by the receiving unit with the original image data pieces displayed by the display control unit and the identification information set to each of the original image data pieces.

A method for reading an original image of a form filled with characters, the method comprising:

• extracting original image data pieces as a result of dividing, on a character basis, data of the original image of the form read by the reading unit, and setting identification information to each of the original image data pieces for defining positions thereof on the form;
• generating, for each of the original image data pieces extracted in the setting step, character-associated information associated therewith;
• and
• making an output with a correlation among the original image data pieces, the identification information set to each of the original image data pieces, and the character-associated information generated for each of the original image data pieces.

A computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer provided with reading means to execute a process for reading an original image of a form filled with characters, the process comprising:

• extracting original image data pieces as a result of dividing, on a character basis, data of the original image of the form read by the reading means, and setting identification information to each of the original image data pieces for defining positions thereof on the form;
• generating, for each of the original image data pieces extracted in the setting step, character-associated information associated therewith;
• and
• making an output with a correlation among the original image data pieces, the identification information set to each of the original image data pieces, and the character-associated information generated for each of the original image data pieces.
