Abstract

PURPOSE:To photograph an original to be photographed one by one by selecting one of two modes, the manual insert paper feed mode applying paper feed and read and the consecutive paper feed mode every time the original is detected after one original is read and the command of original read is implemented. CONSTITUTION:An index (stamp, keyword and key number or the like) corresponding to a picture of an original photographed from now is inputted and a photographing execution key is turned on, then a CPU 11 discriminates whether the mode is the manual insert paper feed mode or the consecutive paper feed mode in response to a signal from a manual insert paper feed mode detection sensor 8s. In the case of the consecutive paper feed mode to be selected, a consecutive paper feed operation pattern is displayed on a display device 4 and the consecutive paper feed operation is started. That is, a mover M is driven to lift up an original placing platen 7. In this case, when the original sensor 7s detects it that a succeeding original 3 is not placed on the original placing platen 7, a paper feed roller R4 is driven by one original to feed the original 3.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] The present invention relates to electronic file systems.

[Prior Art] When registering image information in a conventional information storage device having an information retrieval function, the user opens a lid covering a document placement table, places a document on the document placement table, and then closes the lid. and press the shooting start key.

As a result, a photographing operation is started, the document is read, and the read image information is registered on an optical disk or the like.

When searching for image information, the information is searched using search information such as the file name in which the information is stored and keywords corresponding to the stored contents.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In the conventional example described above, when registering image information of a plurality of documents, the above operation is repeatedly performed for the number of documents.

In other words, open the lid that covers the original placing table, take out the first original, place the second original, close the lid, press the shooting start key, the shooting operation will start, and the original will be read. ,
This read image information is registered on an optical disc or the like. Then, open the lid that covers the document placement table, take out the second document, place the third document, close the lid, press the shooting start key, the shooting operation will start, and the document will be read. , this read image information is registered on an optical disc or the like. This conventional photographing method is called a "single photographing mode."

In such a single image shooting mode, it is necessary to open and close the lid for each document, so the registration operation is extremely complicated. In other words, the conventional device has a problem in that the operation for registering information on a plurality of images is complicated.

To solve this problem, it is possible to run a continuous paper feed mode in which the document placed on the document tray is continuously fed and photographed 5 times.
It is not suitable for checking the photos before taking a photo, and it is not suitable for A4,
When photographing a mixture of originals of different sizes, such as B5, there is a problem in that the task of aligning the originals when placing them on the original table A is complicated.

On the other hand, it is conceivable to use the above continuous paper feeding mode and the above single-shot shooting mode together and to be able to select one of them, but in this case, the complications described in the single-shot shooting mode would be avoided. Since it is necessary to perform a registration operation, the problem remains that the operation for registering information on a plurality of images is complicated.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide an electronic file system that allows each document to be photographed to be photographed after being checked one by one, and in this case, the operation for registering image information is easy. It is something.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention has two modes: a manual paper feeding mode in which paper is fed and read every time a document is detected after one original is read and an instruction to read the original is issued, and a continuous paper feeding mode. One of the two modes is selected.

[Function] Since the present invention selects one of the two modes, manual paper feeding mode and continuous paper feeding mode, it is possible to check each document to be photographed before photographing. ,
