1. A character recognition apparatus, comprising:
- a processor configured to;
acquire a character image of an individual character from a medium;
determine the individual character from the character image with a hierarchical structure in which a set of predetermined characters are hierarchically classified into a plurality of groups configured into main groups and sub groups; and
determine whether the determined individual character matches at least one of error-prone characters,wherein the error-prone characters are previously stored in a memory; and
wherein a predetermined alphabet character printed on a same position of a character of different media is determined from a set of predetermined number characters when the character recognition apparatus performs a recognition process, which acquires a character image of an individual character and determines the individual character, on a plurality of different media repeatedly.

16. A financing apparatus, comprising:
-
a processor configured to; deposit or withdraw a medium including characters; acquire a character image of an individual character from the medium, and reading out the character image to determine the characters with a hierarchic structure in which a set of predetermined characters is hierarchically classified into a plurality of groups configured into main groups and sub groups; control operations of the medium interface and the character recognition apparatus; and determine whether each of the characters determined matches at least one of error-prone characters, wherein the error-prone characters are previously stored in a memory; and wherein a predetermined alphabet character printed on a same position of a character of different media is determined from a set of predetermined number characters when the character recognition apparatus performs recognition process, which acquires a character image of an individual character and determines the individual character, on a plurality of different media repeatedly. - View Dependent Claims (17)
