  However, in the conventional device for recording the file reference history, any user opens the agenda memo file each time and records which page of which file is referenced in what order. Had to do.

  In addition, in the conventional device for recording the file reference history, when referring to the file according to the file reference history recorded in this way, the user opens the agenda memo file each time and refers to the file. By referring to the history, it was necessary to obtain information about which page of which file was referenced next, and to refer to the file based on that information.

  The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, so that when a user refers to a file using a computer, the reference history of the file referred to by the user can be recorded without taking a special procedure. In addition, it is an object of the present invention to provide a new file processing technique that enables automatic reference when a file is referred to in accordance with the reference record.

  In order to achieve this object, the file processing apparatus of the present invention includes a plurality of viewers, and when the files handled by each viewer are displayed on the display using the viewers according to instructions from the user, the files are displayed. (1) When the viewer displays a file on the display, display means for displaying a registration button that is not displayed in the processing of the viewer on the display screen; (2) Acquisition means for acquiring display control information about the file being displayed from the viewer displaying the file when the registration button is operated, and (3) Acquisition of the file name and file of the file being displayed Writing means for writing pair data with the display control information acquired by the means into a storage means for storing time-series data of the pair data; ) The registration button is operated by selecting the pair data stored in the storage means sequentially according to the time-series order without depending on the user's operation and controlling the viewer based on the selected pair data. A first reproducing means for sequentially displaying the file displayed at the time on the display; and (5) the paired data stored in the storage means according to the user's operation according to the time-series order or the reverse order. By selecting and controlling the viewer based on the selected paired data, a configuration is adopted in which second playback means for displaying the file displayed when the registration button is operated is displayed on the display.

  And setting means for setting the operation mode to either a scenario mode for instructing file display based on paired data or a normal mode for instructing file display not based on paired data when the second playback means is provided. When the operation mode is set to the scenario mode, the page movement instruction from the user is passed to the second reproduction means, and when the operation mode is set to the normal mode, the page movement instruction from the user is given. Control means for passing the file to a viewer displaying a file.

  In the file processing apparatus of the present invention configured as described above, when the viewer displays a file on the display in accordance with an instruction from the user, a registration button that is not displayed in the processing of the viewer is displayed on the display screen. To do.

  In response to the display of the registration button, the user operates the registration button when it is necessary to record the display history (reference history) of the file while browsing the file. When the operation is detected, display control information (including at least page information indicating which page is displayed) is acquired from the viewer displaying the file.

  Subsequently, the pair data of the file name of the file being displayed and the acquired display control information is written in the storage means. At this time, if the file name alone cannot identify which viewer the file can be displayed, the file name of the file being displayed, the viewer identification information that enables the display of the file, and the acquired display Pair data with the control information is written in the storage means.

  In this way, time series data of the paired data of the file name of the file displayed when the registration button is operated and the display control information is stored in the storage means.

  Thereafter, when there is a request for automatic reproduction of the file displayed when the registration button is operated from the user, the paired data stored in the storage means is changed according to the time-series order without depending on the user's operation. By sequentially selecting and controlling the viewer based on the selected pair data, the files displayed when the registration button is operated are automatically displayed by sequentially displaying them on the display.

  At this time, when there is an automatic reproduction instruction for rewinding from the user, the paired data stored in the storage means is sequentially selected according to the reverse order of the time-series order without depending on the user's operation, By controlling the viewer based on the selected pair data, the file displayed when the registration button is operated is automatically displayed by sequentially displaying it on the display according to the reverse order of the display order.

  On the other hand, if there is a manual reproduction request for the file displayed when the registration button is operated from the user, the page movement instruction from the user is stored in the storage means when the operation mode is set to the scenario mode. The paired data stored in the storage means is selected according to the user's operation in accordance with the order of the time series or vice versa, and the selected paired data is selected. By controlling the viewer based on the file, the file that was displayed when the registration button was operated is displayed on the display and manually played back.

  When the operation mode is changed from the scenario mode to the normal mode during the manual reproduction, it is interpreted that the page movement instruction from the user is a page change of the displayed file, and the page is changed. The page of the file to be displayed is changed by passing the move instruction to the viewer displaying the file.

  According to the present invention, when a user refers to a file using a computer, the user can record a reference history of the file referred to by simply clicking a registration button displayed together with the file. Therefore, it is possible to record the reference history of the file referred to by the user without taking a special procedure.

  According to the present invention, the user who recorded the file reference history and other users can refer to the file when the registration button is clicked according to the file reference history recorded as described above. Since it becomes possible to do so, it becomes possible to refer to the file when the registration button is clicked without being forced to perform a special operation such as performing an operation while viewing the agenda memo file.

The operation scenario composed of the time series data of the document control information is processed so as to be written in the operation scenario storage unit 16.

  The operation scenario editing unit 17 edits the operation scenario stored in the operation scenario storage unit 16 by interacting with the user.

  Since the operation scenario stored in the operation scenario storage unit 16 may include unnecessary ones, this operation is performed in order to enable editing such as deleting such ones. A scenario editing unit 17 is provided.

  The operation scenario playback unit 18 includes a work storage area 180 that holds information such as which part of the operation scenario stored in the operation scenario storage unit 16 is being played back, and is stored in the operation scenario storage unit 16. Based on the operation scenario, the file 13 displayed when the registration button displayed by the viewer control unit 15 is operated is displayed on the display 10.

  There are two types of operation modes of the operation scenario playback unit 18: an automatic playback mode and a manual playback mode. When the user sets the automatic playback mode, the operation scenario playback unit 18 is shown in FIG. 6 and FIG. As described above, the viewer control unit sequentially selects the document control information stored in the operation scenario storage unit 16 according to a certain period counted by the timer 12 and controls the viewer 14 based on the selected document control information. Processing is performed so that the file 13 displayed when the registration button 15 is operated is automatically reproduced on the display 10.

  In this automatic playback mode, a rewind playback mode is prepared. When the user selects the rewind playback mode, the document control information stored in the operation scenario storage unit 16 is the registration order. The selection is made sequentially according to the reverse order. The automatic playback mode is provided with a fast-forward playback mode. When the user selects the fast-forward playback mode, the document control information stored in the operation scenario storage unit 16 is stored in a shorter time than the normal playback mode. It will be selected sequentially at intervals. In addition, the automatic playback mode is provided with a function for pausing automatic playback and a function for canceling the pause, and a function for interrupting automatic playback.

  On the other hand, when the user sets the manual playback mode, the operation scenario playback unit 18 performs document control stored in the operation scenario storage unit 16 in response to the user's transition instruction operation, as shown in FIGS. By selecting information and controlling the viewer 14 based on the selected document control information, the file 13 displayed when the registration button displayed on the viewer control unit 15 is operated is manually displayed on the display 10. It is processed so as to reproduce.

  Here, in this manual reproduction mode, a configuration is adopted in which the user can specify either an instruction to shift in the direction of registration order or an instruction to shift in the opposite direction, and the user can specify the direction of registration order. Is selected according to the direction of the registration order, while the user makes a transition in the direction opposite to the direction of the registration order. When instructing, the document control information stored in the operation scenario storage unit 16 is selected according to the direction opposite to the direction of the registration order.

  FIG. 10 illustrates an example of a processing flow executed by the viewer control unit 15, and FIGS. 11 to 14 illustrate an example of a processing flow executed by the operation scenario reproducing unit 18.

  Next, processing executed by the information processing apparatus 1 having the present invention configured as shown in FIG. 1 according to these processing flows will be described in detail.

  First, the process executed by the viewer control unit 15 will be described in detail according to the process flow of FIG.

  When the viewer control unit 15 is activated by a file reference request from the user, as shown in the processing flow of FIG. 10, first, in step S10, the viewer control unit 15 waits for a user operation and detects a user operation. In step S11, it is determined whether the user operation is a file display request.

  When it is determined that the user operation is a file display request according to this determination process, the process proceeds to step S12, and the viewer 14 (which can be specified from the file name) that controls the display process of the file 13 having the display request is started. The display of the file 13 is instructed, and the display screen is instructed to display a registration button that is not displayed in the processing of the viewer 14. Subsequently, in step S13, the identification information of the activated viewer 14 is held in the work storage area 150, and the process returns to step S10.

  When started in this way, the viewer 14 displays the file 13 for which display is requested on the display 10 and also displays a registration button on the display screen, and the display page, display position, and display magnification according to the user's operation. The file 13 is displayed on the display 10 while changing.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the user operation is not a file display request according to the determination process of step S11, the process proceeds to step S14 to determine whether the user operation is an operation of a registration button displayed on the display screen. When it is determined that the registration button has been operated, the process proceeds to step S15 to inquire the viewer 14 pointed to by the viewer identification information held in the work storage area 150, thereby displaying the display control information for the file 13 being displayed. (Information such as display page, display position and display magnification) is acquired.

  Subsequently, in step S16, the document control information is written in the operation scenario storage unit 16 based on the acquired display control information, and then the process returns to step S10. That is, as shown in FIG. 5, the document control information is processed to be written in the operation scenario storage unit 16.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the user operation is not an operation of the registration button according to the determination process in step S14, the process proceeds to step S17 to determine whether or not the user operation is an operation for the viewer 14 that has been activated. When it is determined that the operation is an operation on the viewer 14 that has been activated (an operation for instructing a change in the display page, display position, display magnification, etc.), the process proceeds to step S18 and the viewer identification information held in the work storage area 150 After the operation information is passed to the viewer 14 pointed to, the process returns to step S10.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the user operation is not an operation for the activated viewer 14 in accordance with the determination process in step S17, the process proceeds to step S19, where it is determined whether the user operation is a process end request. If not, the process proceeds to step S20 to execute the process requested by the user and then returns to step S10. On the other hand, if it is determined that the user operation is a process end request, the process ends. .

  In this way, the viewer control unit 15 acquires the document control information for the file 13 being displayed and writes it in the operation scenario storage unit 16 in accordance with the registration instruction from the user. Processing is performed so that an operation scenario composed of data is written in the operation scenario storage unit 16.

  Next, the process executed by the operation scenario playback unit 18 when the automatic playback mode is set will be described in detail according to the processing flow of FIGS. 11 and 12.

  When the operation scenario playback unit 18 is activated when a user gives an instruction to play back an operation scenario in accordance with the automatic playback mode, the operation scenario storage unit 18 first stores the operation scenario in step S30 as shown in the processing flow of FIGS. The operation scenario is read from the unit 16.

  Here, in the following description, it is assumed that the operation scenario includes n pieces of document control information of document control information 1 to document control information n.

  Subsequently, in step S31, it is determined whether or not the rewind playback mode is set, and when it is determined that the rewind playback mode is not set, that is, the normal playback mode is set. When the determination is made, the process proceeds to step S32, where the initial value “1” is set to the variable i indicating the serial number of the document control information, and when it is determined that the rewind reproduction mode is set. In step S33, an initial value “n” is set in the variable i.

  In step S34, it is determined whether or not the fast-forward playback mode is set, and when it is determined that the fast-forward playback mode is not set, that is, the normal playback mode is set. When determining this, the process proceeds to step S35, where the variable ΔT indicating the reproduction time interval is set to “ΔT (large)”, which is the value of the long time interval, while the fast-forward reproduction mode is set. When judging, the process proceeds to step S36, and "ΔT (small)" which is a value of a short time interval is set to the variable ΔT.

  In step S37, the i-th document control information included in the operation scenario read from the operation scenario storage unit 16 is specified. Subsequently, in step S38, based on the file name described in the specified document control information, the viewer 14 that manages the display processing of the file 13 with the file name is specified, and the document is displayed to the specified viewer 14. The control information is designated, and an instruction to display the file 13 on the display 10 is given.

  That is, by looking at the file name, it is possible to know the file format of the file 13 with the file name, and thereby the viewer 14 that controls the display processing of the file 13 can be specified. In this step S38, In this way, the viewer 14 is specified, and the document control information is designated and the file 13 is instructed to be displayed on the display 10 to the specified viewer 14.

  Upon receiving this display instruction, the viewer 14 displays on the display 10 the file 13 displayed when the i-th document control information is registered in the operation scenario storage unit 16 based on the i-th document control information. Execute the process to be displayed.

  Subsequently, in step S39, it is determined whether or not ΔT time has elapsed from the processing in step S38, and when it is determined that ΔT time has not elapsed, the process proceeds to step S40 to request a temporary stop from the user. When it is determined whether or not a coincidence stop request is not issued, the process returns to step S39 and waits for ΔT time to elapse from the process of step S38.

  On the other hand, when it is determined in accordance with the determination processing in step S40 that a temporary stop request has been issued by the user, the process proceeds to step S41 and waits for a temporary release cancellation request from the user.

  Then, when it is determined that ΔT time has elapsed from the process of step S38 according to the determination process of step S39, or when it is determined that a request for releasing the suspension is issued from the user according to the determination process of step S41, Proceeding to S42, it is determined whether or not the rewind playback mode is set.

  When it is determined that the rewind playback mode is not set according to the determination process of step S42, that is, when it is determined that the normal playback mode is set, the process proceeds to step S43, and the variable i is set. The value is incremented by 1, and in the subsequent step S44, it is determined whether or not the value of the variable i has reached “(n + 1)”.

  When it is determined that the value of the variable i has not reached “(n + 1)” according to the determination process of step S44, the process returns to the process of step S37 to proceed to the file display process based on the next document control information. When it is determined that the value of the variable i has reached “(n + 1)”, the process proceeds to step S45, the file display is terminated, and the process is terminated.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the rewind playback mode is set according to the determination process in step S42, the process proceeds to step S46, where the value of variable i is decremented by one, and in step S47, the value of variable i is decremented. It is determined whether or not “0” has reached “0”.

  When it is determined that the value of the variable i has not reached “0” according to the determination process of step S47, the process returns to the process of step S37 to proceed to the file display process based on the next document control information. When it is determined that the value of i has reached “0”, the process proceeds to step S48, the file display is terminated, and the process is terminated.

  In this way, when the user sets the automatic playback mode, the operation scenario playback unit 18 sets the document control information stored in the operation scenario storage unit 16 according to a certain period counted by the timer 12 in the order of the time series or By sequentially selecting according to the reverse order and controlling the viewer 14 based on the selected document control information, the file 13 displayed when the registration button displayed on the viewer control unit 15 is operated is selected. The display 10 is processed so as to be automatically reproduced.

  Next, the process executed by the operation scenario playback unit 18 when the manual playback mode is set will be described in detail according to the processing flow of FIGS.

  When the operation scenario playback unit 18 is activated by an instruction to play back an operation scenario in accordance with the manual playback mode from the user, as shown in the processing flow of FIGS. 13 and 14, first, the operation scenario storage unit 18 stores the operation scenario in step S50. The operation scenario is read from the unit 16, and an initial value “1” is set to a variable i indicating a serial number of the document control information in a subsequent step S51.

  Here, in the following description, it is assumed that the operation scenario includes n pieces of document control information of document control information 1 to document control information n.

  Subsequently, in step S52, the i-th document control information of the operation scenario read from the operation scenario storage unit 16 is specified. Subsequently, in step S53, based on the file name described in the specified document control information, the viewer 14 that controls the display processing of the file 13 with the file name is specified, and the document is displayed to the specified viewer 14. The control information is designated, and an instruction to display the file 13 on the display 10 is given.

  Upon receiving this display instruction, the viewer 14 displays on the display 10 the file 13 displayed when the i-th document control information is registered in the operation scenario storage unit 16 based on the i-th document control information. Execute the process to be displayed.

  Subsequently, in step S54, when a user operation is detected while waiting for a user operation, the process proceeds to step S55, and it is determined whether or not the user operation is an instruction to move to the next page.

  When it is determined that the user operation is an instruction to move to the next page according to the determination process in step S55, the process proceeds to step S56, and the value of the variable i is incremented by one.

  Subsequently, in step S57, it is determined whether or not the value of the variable i has reached “(n + 1)”, and when it is determined that the value of the variable i has reached “(n + 1)”, the process proceeds to step S58. Then, after the variable i is set to “1”, the process returns to the process of step S52. On the other hand, when it is determined that the value of the variable i has not reached “(n + 1)”, the process of step S58 is performed. Without executing, the process returns to step S52.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the user operation is not an instruction to move to the next page according to the determination process of step S55, the process proceeds to step S59, and it is determined whether or not the user operation is an instruction to move to the previous page.

  When it is determined that the user operation is an instruction to move to the previous page according to the determination process in step S59, the process proceeds to step S60, and the value of the variable i is decremented by one.

  Subsequently, in step S61, it is determined whether or not the value of the variable i has reached “0”, and when it is determined that the value of the variable i has reached “0”, the process proceeds to step S62. After “n” is set to i, the process returns to the process of step S52. On the other hand, when it is determined that the value of the variable i has not reached “0”, the process of step S62 is not executed. The process returns to S52.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the user operation is not an instruction to move to the previous page according to the determination process in step S59, the process proceeds to step S63, and the user operation cancels the scenario playback mode (playback mode of the file 13 based on the operation scenario). When it is determined whether or not the request is a request and it is determined that the user operation is a request for canceling the scenario reproduction mode, the process proceeds to step S64 to cancel the scenario reproduction mode.

  Subsequently, in step S65, the value of the serial number i of the document control information selected when the scenario reproduction mode is canceled is saved in the work storage area 180.

  Subsequently, in step S66, the operation information input from the user is directly passed to the viewer 14 (the viewer 14 that has been displaying the file so far), and in the subsequent step S67, the user requests to set the scenario playback mode. Until there is, the process of step S66 is continued.

  That is, if there is an instruction to move to the next page from the user while the scenario playback mode is released, the instruction to move to the next page is a page movement instruction in the file 13 being displayed. By determining and passing the instruction to move to the next page to the viewer 14 as it is, processing is performed so that the next page of the file 13 being displayed is displayed on the display 10.

  If there is an instruction to move to the previous page from the user while the scenario playback mode is canceled, the instruction to move to the previous page is a page movement instruction in the file 13 being displayed. By determining and passing the instruction to move to the previous page to the viewer 14 as it is, processing is performed so that the previous page of the file 13 being displayed is displayed on the display 10.

  Thus, by canceling the scenario playback mode setting, the user browses the contents of the file 13 described in the i-th document control information, and when the browsing ends, the scenario playback mode setting is made. I will ask.

  If it is determined in step S67 that there is a scenario reproduction mode setting request from the user, the process proceeds to step S68, and the value of the variable i is restored according to the value of i saved in the working storage area 180.

  Subsequently, in step S69, the i-th document control information of the operation scenario read from the operation scenario storage unit 16 is specified, and in the subsequent step S70, display processing of the file 13 so far based on the specified document control information. The document control information is designated to the viewer 14 that has been performing the instruction to display the file 13 on the display 10, and the process returns to step S54.

  In accordance with this instruction, the viewer 14 cancels the display page, display position, and display magnification of the file 13 that have been displayed according to the user's operation instruction so far, and displays the display page, display position, and display designated by the document control information. The file 13 is displayed on the display 10 according to the magnification.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the user operation is not a request for canceling the scenario reproduction mode according to the determination process in step S63, the process proceeds to step S71, where it is determined whether the user operation is a process end request, and a process end request is issued. If not, the process proceeds to step S72 to execute the process requested by the user and then returns to the process of step S54. On the other hand, if it is determined that the request is a process end request, the process ends.

  Thus, when the user sets the manual playback mode, the operation scenario playback unit 18 selects the document control information stored in the operation scenario storage unit 16 in response to the user's transition instruction operation, and By controlling the viewer 14 based on the selected document control information, the file 13 displayed when the registration button displayed on the viewer control unit 15 is operated is processed to be manually reproduced on the display 10. is there.

  In this way, in the information processing apparatus 1 including the present invention, as shown in FIG. 15, the viewer control unit 15 performs document control information (in this example) about the file 13 being displayed in accordance with a registration instruction from the user. (Including display time) is acquired and written in the operation scenario storage unit 16, and the operation scenario playback unit 18 sequentially selects the document control information written in the operation scenario storage unit 16 and selects the selected document control information. By controlling the viewer 14 based on the above, the file 13 displayed when the user gives a registration instruction is processed to be automatically reproduced or manually reproduced on the display 10.

  According to the present invention, a user can browse a file without having to be aware of information that originally spans multiple files by simply operating the file of the operation scenario as a new file. become able to.

  According to the present invention, the user can display only necessary portions of the necessary files one after another by simply operating the file of one operation scenario, and can browse the necessary information in a short time. Will be able to.
