PAPER SHEET PROCESSING APPARATUS AND PAPER SHEET PROCESSING METHOD
First Claim
1. A paper sheet processing apparatus that processes a paper sheet, comprising:
- a storage unit which stores relocation information including information concerning an out-migrant whose address has changed;
a read unit which reads an image on the paper sheet;
a recognition unit which performs character recognition with respect to destination information including address information and receiver information from the image on the paper sheet read by the read unit;
a determination unit which determines whether the paper sheet is for an out-migrant by comparing the destination information as a recognition result obtained by the recognition unit with the relocation information stored in the storage unit;
a judgment unit which judges an attaching position of a label having information concerning an out-migrant given thereto based on a destination information description region on the paper sheet in a case where the determination unit determines that the paper sheet is for the out-migrant; and
a label attachment unit which attaches the label having the information concerning the out-migrant given thereto to the attaching position on the paper sheet determined by the judgment unit.

Abstract
In a sorting apparatus, an image on the paper sheet is read by a scanner, and from the read image on the paper sheet, characters of the destination information are recognized by a character recognition unit. If the address information included in the destination information as a character recognition result obtained by the character recognition unit matches with the address information having an out-migrant included in relocation information previously registered in a database, it is judged by a judgment unit whether the receiver on the paper sheet is the out-migrant. If it has been judged that the receiver on the paper sheet is the out-migrant, a label on which the address information of a new address of the out-migrant is written is attached to an attaching position considering a description area of the destination information on the paper sheet by a label attachment unit.

5. A paper sheet processing apparatus which processes a paper sheet, comprising:
-
a storage unit which stores relocation information including address information with an out-migrant, information indicative of a relocated out-migrant and information indicative of a registration time; a read unit which reads an image on the paper sheet; an address recognition unit which performs character recognition with respect to address information included in destination information from the image on the paper sheet read by the read unit; and a receiver recognition unit which recognizes whether receiver information included in the destination information of the paper sheet is an out-migrant or an in-migrant based on character recognition weighted in accordance with an elapsed time from the registration of the relocation information in a case where the address information as a recognition result obtained by the address recognition unit coincides with the address information of the relocation information. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7)
