    摘要: A machine for embossing numeric and alphabetic data on plastic cards. The embosser is selectively controlled by computer and has a single set of OCR and alphanumeric embossing fonts past which each card is indexed. As the card passes the single alphanumeric font, it is vertically oscillated and may be selectively embossed with several lines of data.

    摘要: A character recognition method and system performs dynamic analysis of information derived in scanning characters for character recognition. A linear array of plural scanning elements scans characters to be recognized in a corresponding plurality of horizontal scan paths. Each element produces an output responsive to and identifying the presence or absence of a character segment in its corresponding scan path. One or more successive sets of conditions result in scanning of each character in accordance with a change in the output condition of any element. Character recognition is performed in accordance with the detection of a prescribed sequence of preselected sets of leading, of central, and of trailing edge conditions uniquely related to each character of the plurality of characters to be recognized. Each of the leading edge, central, and trailing edge conditions derived from the scanning are stored and subjected to further processing for the recognition function in accordance with timing controls which assure that the output conditions of all scanning elements have been accurately determined before the logic decision circuitry identifies the set of conditions represented thereby. Further logic decision means requires that a valid leading edge condition is detected, before the central and trailing edge conditions are processed, in scanning each character. In addition to the sequentially enabled processing and timing control functions, selection of the leading edge, central, and trailing edge sets of conditions also serves to eliminate potential errors in the recognition functions resultant from modifications of the character configurations for aesthetic appeal, as well as from imperfections therein and misalignment thereof as occur in practical applications.

    摘要: A system is disclosed for maintaining an up-to-date record of credit accounts, and for determining the status of an account prior to completion of a credit transaction to be billed to that account. Upon completion of each credit transaction the system automatically enters information pertinent to the transaction into the appropriate account record maintained at a central data processor station. This continual updating of each credit account as transactions occur makes the current status of any account available immediately upon inquiry by an authorized user of the system. Remote terminal units advantageously located at specified points of sale in each authorized user''s facility are utilized to transmit inquiries regarding the status of credit accounts, and to receive replies authorizing or rejecting the transaction for which the inquiry was made. The system includes a multiplicity of the terminal units, a plurality of supervisory data units each associated with a group of the terminal units, a central data processor station with special purposes or general purpose computers implemented or programmed to manipulate stored data on command from the remote terminal units or from the supervisory data units, and a network for communication between the central data processor station and the remote terminal units and supervisory data units.

    摘要: A character recognition method and system performs dynamic analysis of information derived in scanning characters for character identification. A linear array of plural sensors scans characters to be recognized in a corresponding plurality of horizontal scan paths. Each sensor produces an output responsive to and identifying the presence or absence of a character segment in its corresponding scan path. One or more successive sets of conditions result in scanning of each character in accordance with a change in the output condition of any sensor. A strobe pulse is generated in response to these changes. Decoding means enabled by the strobe pulse and responsive to the sensor outputs for at least selected sets of conditions define corresponding states upon the occurrence of the respectively associated sets of conditions. The states as thus defined and derived in scanning a character then are processed by logic means in accordance with prescribed sequences of occurrence for identification of the scanned character.

    摘要: An electromechanical read head includes a plurality of juxtaposed scanning the card, for scanning raised or embossed characters, such as the embossed characters of a credit card. The juxtaposed elements are mounted between parallel side walls of the head and are free to move independently of each other. The walls extend downwardly and define a channel therebetween for receiving therebetween a line of embossed characters, the walls physically engaging the upper and lower extremes of the embossed characters. The path of travel of the card through the scan head, and thus the scan path of each scanning element, is thereby defined. Each of the scanning elements comprises an arm of resilient material including a scanning tip or wiper which is normally biased toward the surface of the card the arm thereby being deflected upwardly when the tip is raised upon engaging a segment of a character in its scan path. Electrical switching means associated with each element respond to the deflection thereof to produce an electrical output signal corresponding to the mechanical scanning of segments of the character in the corresponding scan path. The plural, simultaneously produced output signals are then processed for character recognition.
