Data entry and error embedding system
First Claim
1. A data entry system comprising:
- optical scanning means (14) for scanning of a document (12) separate from each optical scanning means and providing a bitmapped signal output including (1) discrete pixel signals and (2) coordinate location signals of said pixel signals;
data entry and command means (20, 21,
29) for generating signal data and command signals;
data control and computation means (10,
16) coupled to said optical scanning means and said data entry and command means (20, 21,
29) for;
(1) receiving as input signals said bitmapped signal output, said generated signal data, and said command signals,(2) providing signals representative of a bitmapped signal output, being signals representative of pixels and geometric locations of said pixels, of a selected portion of said document,(3) providing signals representative of a discrete area, said area being adjustable in relative position with respect to a selected portion of said selected portion of said document,(4) providing signals representative of generated data from said data entry and command means as data for appearance in said discrete area, and(5) adjusting said display signals for selected location and size of data entered into said discrete area and providing adjustment signals; and
display means (13) responsive to said bitmapped signal output of said date control and computation means signals representative of said discrete area, said display signals, and said adjustment signals, for displaying said selected portion of said document, said discrete area, and said display signals.

Abstract
A data entry and error embedding system in which, first, a document is bitmapped and recorded in a first memory. Then, it is displayed, and portions of it to be replicated by data entry are underlayed by a window, into which window replicated data is entered in location and size such that it is juxtaposed just below that which is replicated, enhancing the accuracy of replication. Second, with this format in place, selected portions of the replicated data are altered by the insertion of character or word substitutions, thus the embedding of errors. Finally, a proofreader would endeavor to correct the error embedded data and a record of his or her changes recorded. In this manner, the skill level of the proofreader and accuracy of the data are computed.
