Description

The present invention relates to an image data filing controller in an online system, and more particularly to an image data filing controller in an online system for controlling input / output to / from a data file storing image data. .

[Conventional technology]

An example of an apparatus similar to the image data filing control apparatus in the conventional online system is disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 59-133638. When the terminal device stored in this publication outputs data having a format such as forms, the terminal device is provided with a storage device holding a plurality of format data, and the central computer stores the format in the terminal device. A format specification code, which is the code shown, is added to the variable data and sent. The terminal device reads the format data corresponding to the sent format specification code from the storage device, and the format data and the variable data sent from the central computer. The data and are edited and output. If the storage device does not have the format data corresponding to the format specification code sent from the central computer, the terminal device returns the format specification code to the central computer and returns the format data corresponding to the format specification code. It is supposed to be sent from the central computer. For this reason, the central computer and the terminal device described in this publication can handle various types of fixed-form information, usually without lowering the line efficiency.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

The image data filing control device in the conventional online system described above specifies the format at the time of output from the central computer, and when the format data stored in the storage device is insufficient, new format data is needed. Is to be sent from the central computer, so there is a problem that the line efficiency may be reduced. Also, specifying the format at the time of output from the central computer means that the format is managed within the central computer, and if each terminal device contains a format that is somewhat different, the central computer There is also a problem that management is troublesome. Furthermore, it is impossible to retrieve a form from the terminal device even if there is format data stored in the storage device, and there is a problem that the data of the corner is not effectively used.

[Means for solving problems]

The image data filing control device in the online system of the present invention is an image data filing control device in an online system comprising a center computer having a database group and a plurality of terminal side devices connected to the center computer via communication lines. The terminal-side device is an image input device for reading a format document of a form managed by the terminal as image data in a bitmap format, a form image data file for storing image data of the form document of the form, and the form. The electronic filing system for inputting variable data to the format manuscript as a form to store the image data of this form and outputting the image data of the form stored according to the search request, and the database group via the communication line to the electronic filing system. A terminal device for performing a line search and an image search for image data of a form in the electronic filing system, and receiving image data of a form original of the form from the image input device and storing the same in the form image data file Form document image input control means for controlling, code data image conversion means for converting character code data received as a result of the online search of the terminal device into image data in bitmap format, and display of the received character code data Image data of a form original conforming to the form is extracted from the form image data file, combined with the image data in the bitmap format obtained by converting the character code data, and output as composite image data, and the composite image. Data is configured to have a filing control means having a search function of outputting arbitrary image data from the function and the electronic filing system registers to the electronic filing system.

〔Example〕

 Next, the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention. The form managed on the terminal side is preliminarily stored in the form image data file 4 as a form document 8 as a form document 8 via the image input device 9, the bus 6, and the form document image input control means 35 of the terminal control unit 3 in a bitmap format. It is stored in the form of image data of. Next, when creating a form, arrow 10
As indicated by reference numeral 3,104, the core database group 11 is provided between the terminal device 7 and the center computer 1 via the terminal control unit 3.
When an online search is performed with respect to, the code data image conversion means 31 in the terminal control section 3 converts the character code data obtained via the communication line 2 into image data in the bitmap format, and the image data synthesis means 32. Output to. The image data synthesizing means 32 extracts form image data corresponding to the input character code data from the form image data file 4 as indicated by an arrow 105, synthesizes the character code data with the converted image data, and connects the bus 6 to the bus 6. It is displayed as a composite image on the screen of the terminal device 7 via the. If you want a printout of this composite image,
As shown by an arrow 106, the composite image data printing control means 3
The image is printed out from the image printing apparatus 10 via the bus 6 by the bus 3. Although each processing indicated by arrows 101 to 106 is operated as a part of a daily online search system, in the present invention, it corresponds to the data erasing processing that occurs intermittently in the core database group 11 of the online system and is saved on the terminal side. Data to be received is received by the terminal control device 3, converted into composite image data, and as shown by an arrow 107, electronic filing database file 51 of the electronic filing system 5 provided on the terminal side, or filing control means for the optical disk device 52. Registered by 34 and used for image retrieval of stored image data on the terminal side. In this way, the image data of the form can be permanently stored, and the history management and the online system are integrated.

[Effect of device]

As described above, according to the present invention, a form image data file, an electronic filing system, and an image input device are provided, and a function of inputting an image of a form document managed on the terminal side by the image input device in the terminal control unit, and a terminal By providing a function that enables image retrieval from the device, it is not necessary to send format data from the center computer, line efficiency is kept high, management by the center computer is easy, and form management on the terminal side is also possible. There is an effect that it becomes possible to easily perform.
