This decision concerns a method for image data. The competent chamber considers the object and solution to be technical.
Object of the Invention:
- automatic scanning and identification of unknown characters (of image data)
- in a first stage, different sets of logic tests are used for the identification of characters; were a character not to be identified by the said logic tests, the character would be tested in the second stage by logic tests which are discrete from the tests of the first stage
Board:
- problem to be solved is to identify characters that could not be identified by the known system
- this problem is clearly technical
- solution is also of a technical character, as the addition of additional stages to a first stage clearly represents a technical measure
