Abstract: Several types of input pattern measurements are gated together to determine the point at which adjacent characters will be separated by a segmentation signal. One type of pattern is effective to segment the characters unless an inhibitory pattern has also been received. The second pattern type will segment the characters only after an initializing pattern has been received, but only if an inhibitory pattern has not been received. A third type of pattern is effective for segmentation only after the receipt of both an inhibitory pattern and a subsequent enabling pattern. The enabling pattern may also remove the effect of the inhibitory pattern upon some or all of the first two pattern types. When the pattern size exceeds a preset maximum width without having been segmented, all three pattern types are inhibited, the pattern is rescanned and segmented with a blank scan, and a forced segmentation is produced at predetermined points within the pattern. The pattern types for both segmentation and recognition purposes may be selected from a number of pattern subsets, each subset being identified with a character set in a particular font. The characters on a document are initially scanned using a general measurement set. The number of measurements belonging to a particular subset are then counted until a predetermined number of them has appeared. At this point, the measurement switch from the general set to the subset identified as the font which is being read.

Abstract translation: 将几种类型的输入图案测量结合在一起以确定相邻字符将被分割信号分开的点。 一种类型的图案对于分割字符是有效的，除非还接收到抑制图案。 第二种模式类型只有在接收到初始化模式之后才会分割字符，但只有当没有接收到抑制模式时才会分割字符。 第三种类型的图案仅在接收到抑制图案和随后的使能模式之后才能进行分割。 启用模式还可以消除抑制模式对前两种模式类型中的一些或全部的影响。 当图案尺寸超过预设的最大宽度而没有被分割时，所有三种图案类型都被禁止，图案被重新扫描并用空白扫描分割，并且在图案中的预定点产生强制分割。 用于分割和识别目的的图案类型可以从多个图案子集中选择，每个子集用特定字体中的字符集标识。 最初使用一般测量集扫描文档上的字符。 然后计数属于特定子集的测量数，直到其出现预定数目。 此时，测量开关从一般设置到被识别为被读取的字体的子集。
