2. Description of the Related Art Generally, in processing bills and checks in financial institutions, each branch stores the customer's name, account number, seal stamp data, etc. in a file device, and assigns a unique bills and checks number corresponding to these data to make checks. When the check is issued and the check is brought in by the customer's use, the authenticity of the check is confirmed by collating the check stamp brought in with the previously registered seal stamp data.

There is no problem as long as the processing of these bills and checks is performed in a single branch. However, a real financial institution has a large number of branches nationwide, and each branch has to carry out its work. If you store the seal stamp data etc. entered from multiple file devices in remote locations and perform seal stamp verification, the seal stamp data from each branch based on the branch name / bill number etc. written on the check The stored file device is searched and necessary seal stamp data is transferred from the corresponding file device to perform seal stamp verification. The method for searching the file device in which the seal stamp data is stored is, for example, preparing an account number corresponding to the seal stamp data and the stored file device number as a search table in each branch, and referring to this search table each time an inquiry is made. It is common to search for the corresponding file device.

As a document describing a technique for retrieving the inquiry data from a plurality of file devices, there is, for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 3-231368.

[0005]

The seal stamp data search system according to the prior art described above prepares a search table in each branch terminal to search the file device storing the seal stamp data to be inquired. The search table of all branch terminals must be updated every time registration / change is made, and there is a problem that the search table update is complicated in proportion to the increase in the number of connected terminals. An object of the present invention is to eliminate the above-mentioned problems caused by the conventional technology, and to provide a data search system capable of easily searching data such as a file device and seal stamp data by reducing the update of a search table. Is.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a plurality of file controllers for storing data, and a search control device for controlling registration and search of seal stamp image data with respect to the file controllers. In a data search system including a plurality of terminals for instructing data search for a file controller based on a first keyword (print number) via the search control device, the search control device stores the data when storing the data. The first keyword (bill number) and the second keyword (account number) assigned to the data and the type of the data are stored in the keyword table, and the second keyword (account number) is stored.
When the data is searched based on the first keyword (note number) from the terminal and the data type, the keyword table is stored in the file controller table in comparison with the number of the file controller storing the data The second keyword (account number) corresponding to the first keyword (bill number) is searched for by referring to the second keyword (account number).
Based on the keyword (account number), the file controller table is referred to, the file controller storing the data is scanned, and the corresponding data is searched.

[0007]

In the data search system having the above characteristics, the search control device uses the keyword table to store the relationship between the data collectively stored in the plurality of file controllers and the first and second keywords (the bill number and the account number). Remember
In addition, by storing the data in the file controller table in comparison with the number of the file controller storing the data for the second keyword (account number), without registering the search keyword table in each terminal,
That is, it is possible to easily search for data such as the file device and the seal stamp data by reducing the update of the search table.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of a data search system according to the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a configuration of a data search system according to the present embodiment, FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an index part showing a relationship between a plurality of terminals and a table being searched, and FIG. 3 is a plurality of keyword tables corresponding to data types. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a keyword table for storing data, and FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a file controller table showing the relationship between data and the file controller storing the data.

As shown in FIG. 1, the data search system according to the present embodiment stores a plurality of terminals 4A to AF installed in a plurality of branches of a financial institution and seal stamp data registered from the terminals 4A to AF. It is composed of file controllers 6A and 6B including data files 7A / 7B, a search control device 1 which is a feature of this embodiment, and a line network 8 for connecting these devices online, and each terminal 4A-
The seal stamp data is registered in the data file 6A or 6B or the like from the AF via the network 8, and the seal stamp data to be inquired is searched for via the search control device 1.

The plurality of terminals 4A to AF are placed in each branch located in a remote place of a financial institution, and generally, an information processing device body, a storage device, a printing device, a display device, a communication control device. And the like. Further, the file controllers 6A and 6B are internally provided with data files 7A / 7 for magnetic disk devices / optical disk devices, etc.
B is built in to store and read the image data of the seal stamp and the like. Although only two units are shown in the present embodiment, a larger number are connected through the network 8. To do. In the case of a major bank, for example, this file controller is considered to be used as a storage center for controlling branches in each region by region (Hokkaido, Tohoku, Kanto, Kansai, Chubu, Kyushu, etc.).

The search control device 1 has terminals 4A to AF.
A bill number entered from a terminal, which includes a search keyword storage unit 2 and a file controller table 3 for registering and searching customer information and transaction information including seal stamp data registered in the file controllers 6A and 6B. Based on a keyword such as (code), the file controller storing the seal stamp data to be searched is searched, and the seal stamp data scanned from the corresponding file controller is transferred to the terminal. The search keyword storage unit 2 has an index unit 20 and a keyword table 30 shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, and the keyword table 30 is divided into a plurality of tables 31 to 3 according to the use.
n, and data such as branch / account / bill code and other data are registered in advance for each type of transaction. In the index unit 20, a certain terminal has a keyword table 31 to 31.
Of the 3n, it is configured to store a searching table identification number for indicating which keyword table is being searched and an address of the table. Further, the file controller table 40 stores an address indicating a file controller corresponding to a keyword such as an account number as shown in FIG. 4, and stores in which file controller the search data required by the keyword is stored. It is a table.

The data search system thus constructed operates as follows. First, a search keyword "branch code", "subject code", "note number", and "table identification number" corresponding to the type of note are input from the terminal to the search control device 1 through the network 8. This search control device 1 searches for files having matching conditions using "branch code" and "bill number" as keys in any type of tables 31 to 3n in the keyword table 30 based on the "table identification number". Then, by using the account code in the matched file as a key, the file controller storing the seal stamp data corresponding to the file is searched. This search is performed by the file controller table 40 shown in FIG.
In, for example, the "account (number) code" is used as a key to search the storage location where the data is stored. For example, in FIG. 4, the address of the file controller storing the data of the account code'B202 'is'6B', and the search control device 1 inputs the corresponding seal stamp data from the corresponding file controller 6B based on this address, The retrieved seal stamp data is transmitted to the terminal which is the source of the retrieval request. The terminal that has received the seal stamp data performs the seal stamp matching process according to a predetermined process.

Thus, the search control device 1 according to the present embodiment
Is the bill number entered from the terminal (first keyword)
And a file controller storing necessary data by scanning the account number (second keyword) with reference to a keyword table based on the type indicating the type of bill and referring to the file controller table based on the account number. You can know. Therefore, the data such as the file device and the seal stamp data can be easily searched without registering the search keyword table in each terminal, that is, by reducing the update of the search table.

In the second and subsequent searches, the search control device 1 that has received a search request to search the next data from the terminal 4 uses the keyword table 3 in the search keyword storage unit 2.
A search keyword next to the previously searched search keyword from 0 is added to the search request, and the file controller 6 in which the data is stored is determined from the file controller table 3 to perform the search.

In the present embodiment, the process of searching for data is illustrated, but the same effect can be obtained even if the file controllers are sorted by the file controller table 3 when registering the data.
