A character string concatenation generation rule table 16 for imparting regularity to the data consolidation processing control.
And

As another example of the system of the present invention,
As the first to n-th keyword list tables 14, FIG.
As shown in FIG. 5, a large number of first keywords (main keywords) serving as first candidate character strings for giving file names (predetermined character strings) to data files controlled by the control unit 10 are registered. A main keyword list table 14a (memory), a sub-keyword list table 14b (memory) in which a number of second keywords (sub-keywords) to be character strings of second candidates are registered, and a character string of the first candidate (main keyword) ) When generating (adding) a file name (predetermined character string) formed by data concatenation (addition) processing of data and character string (sub-keyword) data of the second candidate, A character string concatenation generation rule table 16 for imparting regularity to the data.

Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the system of the present invention includes first to n-th keyword selecting means 20 controlled by the control unit 10, and data to be file-named determined by the operator's intention. For example, one main keyword (character string M) data that is considered to be most (first) suitable for the file is selected from the first to n-th keyword list tables 14 (for example, the main keyword list table and the sub keyword list table). I do.

Further, the first to n-th keyword selecting means 20 controlled by the control unit 10 allows the sub-file which seems to be most (first) suitable for the data file to be file-named which is determined by the operator's intention. One keyword (character string S) data is selected from the first to n-th keyword list tables 14.

The first to n-th keyword selecting means 20 is provided with a mode switching unit for switching the mode of each of the "first / second / third /.../ n-th" keyword list tables. The mode can be switched to a desired keyword list table.

As another example of the first to n-th keyword selection means 20, for example, as shown in FIG. 1, a main keyword selection means 20a (first keyword selection means)
And a sub-keyword selecting unit 20b (second keyword selecting unit), and a "main / sub" mode switching unit may be provided in this unit, and both may be combined as a keyword selecting unit.

At the stage where the selection by the first to n-th keyword selection means (for example, the main keyword selection means 20a and the sub-keyword selection means 20b) is completed (selection is confirmed), the addition keyword generation controlled by the control unit 10 is performed. Means 22, "the main keyword (character string M) selected and confirmed by the operator's intention"
And a sub-keyword (character string S) are connected (added) to generate a connected character string “M + S”, and the connected character string “M + S” is temporarily stored in a memory.

A serial number assigning means 23 for assigning a natural number controlled by the control unit 10 in order from one.
And generates and assigns a serial number to be assigned to a concatenated character string “M + S” obtained by concatenating a first keyword (main keyword (character string M)) and a second keyword (sub-keyword (character string S)). . In this case, the largest max among the serial numbers assigned to the same concatenated character string as the concatenated character string “M + S” up to now.
A new serial number “X + 1” obtained by searching for the serial number X and adding “1” to the max serial number X
Is generated, stored and stocked.

That is, for example, the largest max serial number X among serial numbers given up to now is X =
If the number is 3, then 1 is added to this to generate a serial number "4", which is temporarily stored as a serial number to be added to the end of a character string serving as a file name and stocked.

Further, a file name generating means 24 controlled by the control unit 10 is provided, and the concatenated character string "M + S" generated and stored by the addition keyword generating means 22 is read from a memory. The serial number “X + 1” temporarily stored in the memory by the serial number assigning means 23, for example, the above-mentioned serial number “4” is read, and the read concatenated character string “M +
S "and the serial number" X + 1 "(for example," 4 ") are added (concatenated) to obtain a character string" M + S +
X + 1 ”(for example,“ M + S + 4 ”), and the data file stored in the data file memory 13 is registered and given as a file name.

FIG. 2 shows the main keyword list table (list 1) registered in the memory table in advance.
FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the registration state of a keyword, such as “car”, “sea”, “river”, “mountain”,. Character strings "CAR", "SE"
, "A", "RVR", "MTN",... Are registered in respective predetermined addresses on the memory.

FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a registration state of the sub-keyword list table (list 2) registered in the memory table in advance. As the sub-keywords, "person", "bird", "animal" , “Insects”,..., And the corresponding keyword strings “MAN”, “BRD”, “AN”
, "INS",... Are registered at predetermined addresses on the memory.

In the system of the present invention, the main keyword list table (list 1) and the sub keyword list table (list 2) shown in FIGS.
May be a keyword list table combining both lists 1 and 2. The contents of the keyword list such as main / sub can be visually output as a selection directory (selection menu) on the display screen of the data output unit 12 when an operator selects a keyword.

FIG. 4 shows an example of a connection state of a list table of a concatenated character string registered and assigned to a memory as a file name up to the present, and a serial number connected and registered to each concatenated character string. FIG. 9 is an explanatory diagram of a serial number management table. Serial number management for searching for a serial number that becomes a new file name character string for the concatenated character string by the serial number assigning means 23 from the serial number management table. It is a table for use.

For example, "CARMA" is obtained by adding (concatenating) "CAR" and "MAN" as a concatenated character string.
N "," CARBRD "obtained by adding (concatenated)" CAR "and" BRD "," SEAMAN "obtained by adding (concatenated)" SEA "and" MAN ", and" SEA "and" A "
A concatenated character string such as “SEAANM” obtained by adding (concatenating) “NM” and a serial number concatenated to the concatenated character string are registered and assigned to the memory as a file name character string that becomes a file name. ing. The contents of the serial number management table can be visually output on the display screen of the data output unit 12 by a command input operation from the data input unit 11 by the operator.

FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a character string concatenation generation rule table that defines the arrangement order of character strings to be concatenated when the file name character string is generated by the file name generation means 24.

For example, in the generation of a file name character string, the number of character strings of the file name character string is the first to third digits, and the keyword selected from list 1 (main keyword list) of the keyword list table is used. A character string, for example, three characters “CAR” are displayed in an array, and the number of character string digits is “4”.
In the "-6" digit, list 2 of the keyword list table
The character string of the keyword selected from the (sub-keyword list), for example, three characters of “MAN” are displayed in an array, and the serial number “X + 1” is displayed when the number of character strings is “7 to 8”.
It is defined that two characters (03 + 01 = 04) are displayed in an array.

In the rule table shown in FIG. 5, the first character is the first digit and the last character is the eighth digit as a method of counting the number of digits in the character string. Is not limited to this,
The first character may be the eighth digit and the last character may be the first digit. The number of characters in each of the main and sub keyword character strings selected and taken in from the keyword list table is not limited to three characters, but can be set to an appropriate number of characters in advance.

The contents of the character string concatenation generation rule table can be visually output on the display screen of the data output unit 12 by a command input operation from the data input unit 11 by the operator, and the setting can be changed to an appropriate rule. It is possible.
