Description

  The present invention relates to a technique for storing a document recorded on paper or the like and data representing the document.

  When saving a document printed on paper, it is necessary to secure a storage location and to manage the document. There are various problems. In order to solve these problems, so-called electronic filing has been performed in which a paper document is digitized by being read by a scanner and stored in a storage device. According to electronic filing, a large amount of data can be stored in a smaller space than when a paper document is stored. In addition, by creating a database that stores data related to documents, there is an advantage that data can be easily retrieved and extracted.

  However, in practice, there are many cases where paper documents are stored without being discarded, even though the documents are digitized. If the original is preserved, it is safe even if the storage device fails. In addition, it is easy to use only on a paper medium, such as quickly turning pages to find the necessary part. In some cases, the original document itself cannot be discarded because it has material value. For this reason, a paper document and electronic data obtained by digitizing it are stored together.

  By the way, in storing a paper document, a database that stores a document name and a storage location in association with each other is used so that the storage location can be known when the paper document becomes necessary. However, in reality, a paper document may be accidentally returned to a location different from a predetermined storage location, and the location of the paper document may not be known at the next use. Therefore, techniques for solving such problems have been proposed. For example, in the technique described in Patent Document 1, an RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) tag is attached to a paper document, and electronic data obtained by digitizing the paper document and the ID of the tag are stored in a storage unit. deep. A tag reader for reading the tag ID is provided in the bookcase for storing the paper document, and when the paper document is stored in the bookcase, the tag ID and position information are read and stored in the storage means. As a result, information indicating the position of the paper document stored in an arbitrary location is stored, and the storage location of the paper document can be known using the tag ID.

However, there is room for further improvement in the storage of paper documents and electronic data. For example, the position information stored in the storage means in Patent Document 1 only provides information such as the location of the bookshelf and a number for identifying the bookshelf, and based on such information, Finding a document takes time.

  FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating a configuration of the storage 70. The storage 70 includes left and right side plates 71, a top plate 72, a bottom plate 73, and a shelf plate 74. The interior of the storage 70 is partitioned by one or a plurality of shelf boards 74. FIG. 8 is a diagram showing the configuration of the shelf board 74. The bottom plate 73 also has the function of the shelf plate 74. In the following description, the shelf plate 74 and the bottom plate 73 are collectively referred to as the shelf plate 74. Each of the shelf boards 74 is provided with a tag reader 75 and an antenna 76 that read data from the RFID tag, and a communication control unit 77 that transmits the read data. Tag readers 75 are provided at intervals of several centimeters. This interval is determined to be equal to the standard thickness (for example, about 5 cm) of the binder 35. The receivable ranges of the tag readers 75 do not overlap with the receivable ranges of the adjacent tag readers 75. Thus, the same tag identifier is not redundantly read by two or more tag readers 75.

  The tag reader 75 reads a tag identifier from the RFID tag 31 or 36 attached to the face sheet 30 or the binder 35 of the document stored in the storage 70 at regular time intervals, and reads the read tag identifier and the storage 70. Information for identifying, for example, an identification number previously given to the storage 70 is transmitted to the document management apparatus 10. At this time, the tag reader 75 also transmits a tag reader identifier for identifying the tag reader. The document management apparatus 10 stores position information indicating the position of each tag reader 75 provided in the storage 70 in the storage 70 in the storage unit 14 in association with the tag reader identifier. This position information is, for example, a coordinate value with the lower left corner of the storage 70 as the origin. When the document management device 70 receives data from the tag reader 75, the document management device 70 reads position information corresponding to the tag reader identifier included in the data from the storage unit 14. The position represented by this position information represents the position of the document whose tag identifier has been read by the tag reader. In this way, the position information is acquired for all documents stored in the storage 70.

  Based on the position information acquired by the position information acquisition unit 110, the display unit 111 illustrates the arrangement of all the documents stored in the storage 70 in the storage 70 and generates an image representing the document information. It is a means to display. The document management apparatus stores in advance image data for schematically illustrating the appearance of the storage 70 from the front, and creates an image in which the document is stored in the storage 70. At this time, the position represented by the position information of each document is converted into a position on the image, and an image in which the document is stored in the storage 70 is created. At this time, it is also preferable to display the above-described document information (for example, a title) at a position corresponding to the spine of each document. FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating an example of an image displayed by the display unit.

Further, the display unit 111 displays the position of the document corresponding to the document data extracted from the document storage unit 104 in the storage 70 based on the position information acquired by the position information acquisition unit 110. Emphasis display means 112 for emphasizing and displaying on the displayed image is provided. For example, the outline and the inside of the binder 35 are highlighted.
Further, the display unit 111 includes a position specifying unit that specifies a position on the displayed image, an extraction unit that extracts document data corresponding to the document at the position specified by the position specifying unit from the document storage unit 104, and Have Specifically, when the mouse cursor is moved to and clicked on one of the binder images displayed on the screen, the position of the clicked point in the image is obtained, and this position is set to the position in the storage container 70. The document data of the document corresponding to this position is read out from the document DB. Then, based on the read document data, the contents of the document are displayed on the display unit.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of the face sheet 30 in the present embodiment. The face sheet 30 is a cover attached to a document, and is made of any material such as JIS (Japanese Industrial Standards) A4 size paper or plastic film. An RFID tag 31 is attached near the bottom of the surface of the face sheet 30. The RFID tag 31 includes a nonvolatile semiconductor memory that holds written data, an antenna or a coil that functions as an antenna (not shown), and uses microwaves, induction electromagnetic fields, and the like with an external device. Communication can be performed. Any method may be used for attaching the RFID tag 31 to the face sheet 30. For example, both may be bonded with an adhesive material, or a circuit board including a semiconductor memory and an antenna may be printed on the face sheet 30. Alternatively, an ultra-small RFID tag may be embedded between paper fibers.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example of the binder 35 for binding and storing a plurality of documents. The binder 35 can store a plurality of documents collectively by inserting a ring-shaped or bar-shaped member through a punch hole formed in the document. An RFID tag 36 having the same configuration as that attached to the face sheet 30 is attached to the binder 35.

<Operation>
Next, the operation of the document management apparatus 10 having the above configuration will be described. Note that the document management apparatus 10 is an apparatus that operates when the CPU 11 executes a program. Therefore, in the following description, the subject of the operation is the CPU 11.

<Registering document image data>
FIG. 9 is a diagram showing a flow from reading a document to generating document image data and outputting the document image data to the storage device 40.
First, in step A01, the CPU 11 reads an image of a document by the image reading unit 50 and generates document image data. Specifically, the user places a document on the platen of the image reading unit 50 and inputs an instruction for reading the document using the instruction input unit 16. Although the document image data is bitmap format image data, a character string included in the document image data is extracted by a known character recognition unit, and the text data representing the character string may be stored together with the document image data. Good.

In step A02, the CPU 11 generates a document identifier for uniquely identifying the document read by the image reading unit 50. The CPU 11 generates a document identifier according to a predetermined code system. As the document identifier, for example, a serial number indicating the registration order in the document DB is used.
In step A03, the CPU 11 analyzes the document image to extract information representing the document characteristics. For example, information such as document titles, headings, and chart titles is extracted.
In step A <b> 04, the CPU 11 uses the image forming unit 60 to form an image representing the document identifier on the surface of the face sheet 30. At this time, an image representing the information extracted in step A03 may be formed on the face sheet 30.

In the present embodiment, the tag identifier is generated and written to the RFID so that an RFID tag to which the tag identifier has not been written in advance can also be used. In step A05, the CPU 11 generates a tag identifier for uniquely identifying the RFID tag 31 attached to the face sheet 30. In step A06, the CPU 11 writes the tag identifier generated in step A05 into the RFID tag 31 attached to the face sheet 30 using the tag reader 21. Here, if the RFID tag 31 has a sufficient storage capacity, the information extracted in step A03 may be written to the RFID tag 31 together with the tag identifier.
In addition, when using the RFID tag in which the tag identifier is written in advance, the tag identifier is read using the tag reader 21.

In step A07, the document image data is stored in the document DB. At this time, the document identifier of the document and the tag identifier written in the RFID tag 31 are stored in the document DB in association with the document image data. Further, the information extracted in step A03 is stored in the document DB in association with the document image data.
By storing the document image data in the document DB in this way, it is possible to manage the document recorded on paper or the like and the corresponding document image data in association with each other.

<Binder>
Next, document management using the above-described binder 35 will be described. One or more documents are bound in the binder 35. This document has already been read by the document reading unit 50, and document image data representing this document is stored in the document DB. The face sheet 30 described above is attached to each document, and the RFID tag 31 is attached to the face sheet 30. A tag identifier for uniquely identifying the RFID tag 31 is written in the RFID tag 31. Further, identification information indicating that the RFID tag 36 is attached to the binder 35 is added to the tag identifier written to the RFID tag 36 attached to the binder 35.

Now, the user places the binder 35 in which the document is bound on the platen of the document management apparatus 10, and inputs an instruction indicating registration of the document and the binder 35 through the instruction input unit 16. At this time, the instruction input unit 16 inputs a registration number for identifying the binder 35, a title of the binder 35, and the like. Then, the tag identifier is read by the tag reader 20 from the RFID tags 36 and 31 attached to the binder 35 and the face sheet 30. The CPU 11 receives the tag identifier read by the tag reader 20, and from the tag identifier (first tag identifier) read from the RFID tag 31 of the face sheet 30 and the RFID tag 36 of the binder 35 depending on the presence or absence of the identification information. The read tag identifier (second tag identifier) is determined, and the first tag identifier and the second tag identifier are associated with each other and stored in the document DB. At this time, information such as the registration number and title of the binder 35 is stored in association with the second tag identifier. Thus, since the document and the binder 35 are associated with each other, the user can extract desired document image data from the document DB using information such as the registration number and title of the binder 35 as a search key.
Further, if the above processing is performed even when a document is exchanged, added, or discarded with respect to the binder 35, information indicating the correspondence between the binder 35 and the document can be updated.

<Storage>
Next, document management using the storage 70 will be described. The tag reader 75 provided in the storage 70 reads the tag identifier from the RFID tags 31 and 36 attached to the face sheet 30 or the binder 35 of the document stored in the storage 70 and reads the tag identifier. A tag identifier and information for identifying the storage, for example, an identification number previously given to the storage 70 are transmitted to the document management apparatus 10. The CPU 11 of the document management apparatus 10 receives the tag identifier transmitted from the storage 70 and the identification number of the storage 70, and the tag identifier (first tag identifier) and binder read from the RFID tag 31 of the face sheet 30. The tag identifier (second tag identifier) read from the 35 RFID tags 36 is discriminated, and the first tag identifier, the second tag identifier, and the identification number of the storage 70 are associated with each other. Then, data corresponding to the first tag identifier is extracted from the document DB, and the extracted data is compared with the data transmitted from the storage 70. If they are different, the data transmitted from the storage 70 is overwritten in the document DB. Further, when data corresponding to the first tag identifier stored in the document DB is not received, it is assumed that the document corresponding to the first tag identifier has been taken out of the storage 70, and the document DB Is deleted. Note that the above-described data comparison may be performed for each second tag identifier.

  Through the above processing, the user can extract the identification number of the desired document or the storage 70 in which the binder 35 is stored from the document DB using information such as the document title and the title of the binder 35 as a search key. It becomes like this. When the tag reader 75 of the storage 70 reads the tag identifier at regular time intervals, the data stored in the document DB is updated at regular time intervals.

  When the time interval for reading the tag identifier by the tag reader 75 of the storage 70 is set to an interval such as 1 minute, for example, when the binder 35 is taken out from a certain storage 70, the information in the document DB is updated within 1 minute. The same applies when the binder 35 is returned to the storage 70. Alternatively, when the binder 35 is returned to the storage 70 different from the one taken out, the identification number of the storage 70 is associated with the tag identifier of the binder 35 and stored in the document DB within one minute. . If the time interval for reading the tag identifier is shortened and constantly monitored, the contents of the document DB can be updated almost at the same time as the binder 35 is taken out or returned. These are merely examples, and a longer time interval such as every hour or every 24 hours may be set according to the accuracy of information required by the user, or the time may be set. Alternatively, the tag identifier may be read by the tag reader 75 of the storage case 70 when the user accesses the document DB and inputs a search request.

  In the above example, the case where an identification number is given for each storage has been described. However, the identification number is also given to the shelf board 74, and the lug reader 75 uses the identification number of the storage 70 and the shelf board 74 as a tag identifier. At the same time, it may be transmitted to the document management apparatus 10. By storing these data in the document DB in association with each other, the storage 70 in which the desired document is stored and the position in the storage 70 can be known in units of shelves. .

<Display>
Next, display of an image in the storage 70 will be described. As described above, when the tag identifier read from the document or the binder 35 stored in the storage 70 is transmitted, the tag reader 75 transmits the tag reader identifier for identifying the tag reader together with the tag identifier. The CPU 11 of the document management measure 10 that has received the tag reader identifier reads position information corresponding to the received tag reader identifier from the storage unit 14. Based on this position information, an image illustrating the arrangement of all the documents stored in the storage 70 in the storage 70 is created and displayed on the display unit. Then, based on the position information acquired by the position information acquisition unit 110, the position of the document corresponding to the document data extracted from the document storage unit 104 by the user in the storage 70 is displayed on the display unit 111. Highlight and display above. For example, the outline and the inside of the binder 35 are highlighted.

  Further, when the mouse cursor is moved to and clicked on any of the binder 35 images displayed on the screen, the position of the clicked point in the image is obtained, and this position is converted into a position in the storage container 70. The document data of the document corresponding to this position is read from the document DB. Then, based on the read document data, the contents of the document are displayed on the display unit.

As described above, according to this embodiment, the position of a document stored in the storage can be easily known. Since the position of the document corresponding to the document data extracted from the document DB is highlighted on the display, it is possible to grasp the position of the desired document in advance before going to the location where the storage is located. As a result, documents stored in the storage can be quickly taken out.
Further, document data corresponding to the document selected on the screen on which the image of the storage is displayed can be extracted from the document DB. As a result, the contents of the document can be displayed on the screen, and the contents of the document can be known without going to the storage.

<Modification>
The present invention is not limited to the form described above, and can be implemented in various forms. For example, the embodiment described above can be modified as follows.
In the above-described embodiment, an example of a bookshelf in which the inside is partitioned by a shelf is shown as an example of the storage 70, but the present invention can be applied to any configuration of storage such as a drawer-type cabinet.
The image reading unit 50 may be separated from the document management apparatus 10. Further, the image forming unit 60 may be separated from the document management apparatus 10. The storage device 40 may be incorporated in the document management device 10.

  In the above-described embodiment, an example in which a document to be registered in the document DB is read using the image reading unit 50 to generate document image data and the document image data is stored in the storage device has been described, but a word processor or the like is used. The created document data may be stored in the document DB. In this case, instead of reading the document, the image forming unit 60 forms an image on the recording sheet based on the document data, and the face sheet is attached to the recording sheet and stored.

In the above-described embodiment, an example in which the position of a desired document is highlighted is shown. However, the position may be highlighted in units of shelves in which the desired document is stored. In this case, one tag reader may be provided for each shelf board, and an antenna may be provided so that the entire shelf board is within the reception range.
