Here, the operation of one embodiment will be explained with reference to the above figures.

First, the operation from power-on until the initial screen is displayed will be explained according to the flowchart of FIG. 41.

When the power of the device is turned on, a self-diagnosis test is first performed under the control of the CPU 1 to ensure that the inside of the device operates normally.

Normally, a CRT display device cannot display images immediately after power is turned on, and requires several seconds to last. This test is conducted using this waiting time and does not interfere with operation. However, testing all hardware functions is more complex and
Since this is expensive, ROM and RAM are generally tested (step A11 in FIG. 41).

If an abnormality is found in this test, a message to that effect is displayed on the CRT display 8 to warn the operator (steps A12 and A17 in FIG. 41).

If it is normal, then check the connection status of the external device connected (Steps A12 and A13 in Figure 41).
.

If the connection status is normal, the initial screen as shown in Figure 5 will be displayed, and the operator will be waiting for instructions to be input (see Figure 4).
Figure 1 Step A14. A15). If the condition is not normal, a warning message is displayed and an initial screen is displayed (steps A14 to A16 in FIG. 41).

In this initial screen display state, the cursor mark 504 on the display screen moves as the mouse 6 is moved, points to any icon 501 with the cursor, and presses the mouse 6 with Ls (single click of the left button). ), it becomes possible to select a desired icon.

Here, for example, operate the mouse 6 to select the cursor mark 50.
4 onto the '1 operation pad of the menu bar (MB) 502, and by operating Ls (single click of the left button), the mode shifts to the 'operation pad processing mode.

The operation of the "operation" on this menu bar (MB) will be explained with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 42.

``Before an ``operation'' is selected, the counterpart of the operation must be determined.This will be discussed later.

That is, the basic operation of the apparatus of the present invention is to always specify "what" first, and then give instructions "what to do."

Here, we will explain the above "what to do".

First, specify "Operation" on the menu bar (MB) 502 and press the left button (L) of the mouse 6.
A pull-down menu 503 regarding ° is displayed (step B11 in FIG. 42). At this time, the overlapping portion of the display on the screen for displaying the pull-down menu is saved to the work area in the video memory 71. Then, when the pull-down menu is deleted later, the saved screen information is restored.

While holding down the left button (L) of the mouse 6, move the mouse 6 to select the pull-down menu 503. As a result, the specified command in the pull-down menu is displayed in reverse video according to the movement of the cursor (steps 812 to B15 in FIG. 42). At this time, even if the cursor points outside the pull-down command frame, the highlighted display will not change.

With the desired command highlighted, press mouse 6
By releasing the left button (L), that command is selected, the pull-down menu is cleared, and the original screen is then restored (Step 81 in Figure 42).
6).

Here, when the oven command is selected (step 817 in FIG. 42), its operation differs depending on the object of the oven. This will be explained in detail in the flowcharts starting from (Part 2) in the same figure.

If the close command is selected, the target is closed (step 818°B19 in FIG. 42).

Next, the target icon or icon list is deleted (step B20 in FIG. 42).

In FIG. 43, the mouse 6 is moved to point to the scanner icon on the initial screen, and the Ls (single click of the left button) operation is performed to instruct input from the image scanner 14.

At this time, the designated icon 501 is highlighted and “
operation'' (Fig. 43, Steps 011 to C13)
). At this point, the object of the "operation" can be changed. Place the cursor on the desired icon and press mouse 6 Ls
When you (single-click the left button), the highlighted icon returns to normal display, and the newly specified icon becomes highlighted. In other words, as mentioned above, “what”
This is to select.

When this scanner icon 501 is selected and the aforementioned "Operation" and then "Oven" are selected, the menu bar changes from an icon operation menu bar to an image processing menu bar, and a work view for image processing is opened. be done.

The frame size of this work view can be changed using the enlarging/reducing function described later, but as an initial display, the area DB in Fig. 17 and the screen as shown in Fig. 22 are displayed on the right half of the screen.

At this time, if a document view has already been opened, the size of the frame of the document view is adjusted so that the screen size of the document view and the work view are the same. If opening a work view does not impact the size of the document view frame, it will remain as it is.

Next, a property sheet for image input is displayed at the lower right of the screen as shown as area DC in FIG. 17, and is used to set various parameters.

FIG. 44 is a flowchart for explaining the operation when inputting image information from an external storage device.

As explained on the initial screen, various devices are supported here as external storage devices. One of these external storage device icons (here, fixed disk/cartridge disk/optical disk/floppy disk)
By specifying 501 with the cursor and pressing Ls (single click of the left button) on the mouse 6, the specified icon is displayed in reverse video and becomes the target of the above-mentioned "operation" (steps 11 to 44 in Figure 44). D13).When this external storage device icon is selected and the aforementioned ``Operation'' or ``Oven'' is selected, the directory is read from the target external storage device and a folder list is displayed.
The icon is deleted (steps 841 to B4 in Figure 42).

FIGS. 45 and 46 are flowcharts illustrating the operations up to displaying a document.

A document in the device according to the present invention has a hierarchical structure.

Also, multiple document folders can be stored in the external storage device.

A plurality of documents are stored in the document folder. or,
A document is composed of multiple pages. All of these are designed to facilitate document retrieval.

Icon display control when selecting these icons (steps E11 to E13 in Figure 45, steps F11 to F1 in Figure 46)
3) is substantially the same as FIGS. 43 and 44 described above, and detailed explanation thereof will be omitted here.

Select one of the folder icons in the folder list (Fig. 45) and select "Oven" as described above.

If , the document list is displayed on the CR7 screen (steps 821 to B23 in FIG. 42).

You can also select one document icon in the document list.
(Figure 42), if you "oven" as described above, the first page of the desired document will be displayed in the document view (step 824 in Figure 42).
~828). The size of the document view frame at this time is set as large as there is room on the screen. It is usually set on the left half of the screen.

FIGS. 47 and 48 are flowcharts illustrating the operations up to displaying an image in the work view.

Images in the device according to the present invention have a hierarchical structure. Furthermore, each image stored in the external storage device has an image name added to it.

This image name can be set as a group name, which is very convenient when searching for images.

When a list of group names is displayed as shown in Figure 14 (when no secret word is specified) or Figure 15 (when a secret word is specified), point the cursor to the group name icon and press the mouse 6. When you operate Ls (single click on the left button), that icon is selected and displayed in reverse video, and becomes the target of the above-mentioned "operation" (steps (311 to G13 in Figure 47). When this icon is specified,
When the operation "Oven" is selected, a list of image names included in the group name as shown in FIG. 16 is displayed (steps 830 to B55 in FIG. 42).

Spaces are also allowed in group names here.

When the image name list as shown in Figure 16 is displayed, point the cursor to the image name icon and press the mouse button 6.
When you operate Ls (single-click the left button), that icon is selected and displayed in reverse video, and becomes the target of the above-mentioned operation. When this icon is designated and the "Oven" operation is selected, the image information based on the designation is displayed in the work view shown in Figure 22. Along with this, the icon list is cleared ( Fourth
Figure 2 steps 336-B40).

FIG. 49 is a flowchart showing the processing flow related to the operation of the icon viewing area.

Here, due to screen size constraints, only up to 15 icons can be displayed at one time, as shown in FIG. 10.

In general, it is likely that there are 16 or more icons, and for this reason, there are "previous page" and "next page" marks (PBSPN) as page operation marks.

Here, as shown in FIG. 10, 15 icons are sequentially displayed as a unit. At this time, the icon-list display ffi

If you do so, continuous scrolling will be possible. On this occasion,
Scrolling beyond the page size is not possible.

The marks on the four sides of the document view indicated by diagonal lines in FIG. 20 indicate which part of the input image information is displayed in the document view, and are updated each time the document view is scrolled.

Further, during a scrolling operation, if the limit is reached without further scrolling being possible, the scroll mark (SC) is erased to prevent further scrolling and also as a warning. This mark (SC) will be displayed again when the limiting condition is no longer present.

FIG. 51 is a flowchart showing the processing flow related to page turning in the document view.

As shown in Fig. 21, by clicking the "previous page" and "next page" marks (PBSPN>) in the four corners of the document view shown in Fig. 18 and operating 9 (single-click the left button),
It is possible to display 11 pages or +1 page to the currently displayed page (steps 11 to 14 in Figure 51, or 1 to 1).
1. K12°K18).

At this time, if the currently displayed page is the first page, the "previous page" mark (Pa) is replaced with a space, and if it is the last page, the "next page" mark (PN) is replaced with a space. (Figure 51 Step KIG, K17. K2
0. K22).

This serves both to prevent erroneous operations and to provide guidance to the operator. Furthermore, the display area indicator indicated by diagonal lines in the figure is also updated each time the page is turned (Step 15.K19 in Figure 51).

FIG. 52 is a flowchart showing the processing flow related to scrolling of the work view.

In the work view on the screen shown in FIG. 22, input images are displayed on a one-to-one basis in accordance with the resolution of the input image information.

Generally, A4 size image information has a resolution of 8 lines/
Even for a single house, it would be a huge screen of 1,680 dots x 12,376 dots, which is impossible to display on a single screen on a normal display.

For this reason, a scrolling function in the horizontal and vertical directions is essential.

“↑”, ↓” at the four corners of the work view shown in Figure 22,
, move the cursor to the “←” mark (SC) and press the mouse 6
By clicking Ls (single click of the left button), Figure 23(a) is displayed.

As shown in (b), the work view can be scrolled vertically and horizontally in units of one dot (52nd step 1).
11-L46).

Now press and hold the left button of mouse 6 (
Lh operation) allows continuous scrolling (
FIG. 52 Steps L16-L21°L22-L27.
L31-136. L41-L46).

At this time, it is impossible to scroll beyond the input size limit. The same applies when the input size is smaller than the work view.

In Figure 23, the diagonal lines on the four sides of the working view (displayed in black on the display screen) indicate which part of the input image information is displayed in the working view. Yes, and updated every time it is scrolled.

FIG. 53 is a flowchart showing a processing flow related to enlarging/reducing a work view.

Enlarging/reducing the working view does not involve enlarging/reducing the input image information itself, but rather changes the size of the working view as a display window.

When saving, etc., the range displayed in this work view is valid.

Enlarge/reduce marks 18 at the four corners of the working view shown in FIGS. 22 and 23. If you place the cursor on one of the marks LS, LS, etc. and press the left button of the mouse 6, then move the cursor while holding down the same button (Lh operation), the current value of that cursor will be displayed. The same mark will be displayed accordingly. That is, as a result, the work view as a display window is enlarged/reduced as shown in FIGS. 24(a) and 24(b). The size of the working view is fixed when the mouse 6 button is released.

Furthermore, it is impossible to enlarge the image beyond the screen size (steps M11 to M44 in FIG. 53).

Note that in FIG. 24, the marks shown with diagonal lines on the four sides of the work view are the same marks as those used during scrolling.

FIGS. 54 and 55 are flowcharts showing the processing flow when setting an image area within a document.

Here, first, an image frame is set within the document page.

When the left button (L) of the mouse 6 is pressed within the document, the specified coordinate point becomes one point of the frame, as shown in FIG. From then on, this coordinate point will be fixed (Step N in Figure 54).
11). Then, as similarly shown in FIG. 27, by moving the cursor while holding down the button (L) of the mouse 6, another point changes. The area frame follows this change. When the button on the mouse 6 is released, the area frame becomes fixed (steps N12 to N18 in FIG. 54).

You can also move the cursor to set the frame,
When the latest area frame is set, the previous 11 frames are deleted. That is, there is only one current area frame on the screen.

After setting the wA area, click "fr" on the menu bar.
4. When you select "Create bli," a pull-down menu (PDM) as shown in Figure 27 is displayed (Step 011 in Figure 55). By selecting this pull-down menu, you can define the area ladder ( Steps 012 to 023 in Fig. 55).The relationship between the menu bar, pull-down menu, and property sheet at this time is shown in Fig. 26.

FIG. 55 shows a processing flow when defining an image area.

By selecting "Image" from the pull-down menu, the menu bar becomes a menu bar for image processing as shown in FIG.

Also, at this time, a work view for image processing is opened.

The size of this work view can be changed using the enlargement/reduction function as described above, but in the initial display, the right half of the screen is fixed as described above (see Figure 17). .

FIG. 56 is a flowchart for explaining the setting process of a property sheet for setting an image area.

Here, as the frame line of the image frame as the area, the 28th
Various line types can be selected as shown in the area creation property sheet in the figure. Furthermore, in this case, the line type and its thickness can be set separately.

In FIG. 28, the shaded area is selected as the initial display and is displayed in reverse.

If you do not need to change this setting, you can leave it as is and select ``Complete''. Also, if you want to change it, place the cursor on the input frame of the item you want to change and use the mouse 6 and 8.
(single-click the left button), the highlighted display changes to the specified one (Fig. 56 Stellar Pull 15)
．． PI3. PI3゜P17).

When the changes are complete, select ``Complete'' in the same way as above.

When "Complete" is selected, the specified frame line is displayed at the specified frame position (Fig. 55, step 011, p22.
P23).

The information of this property sheet is registered in the system initial information area reserved in advance in the main memory 2, and from then on,
This is used for initial display when displaying this property sheet (steps P24 and P25 in FIG. 56). In other words, the latest selected information is always displayed.

FIG. 57 is a flowchart showing the processing flow related to image input from each Azusa device.

Point to "Input" on the menu bar and press the left button of mouse 6 (
By pressing L), a pull-down menu (PDM) for input is displayed as shown in FIG. 3o.

FIG. 29 shows the relationship between the "input °" menu bar, pull-down menu, and property sheet at this time.

By selecting an arbitrary pull-down menu command from the pull-down menu and releasing the left button (L) of the mouse 6, the command is selected and the pull-down menu is deleted.

For example, if "for image scanner" is selected, the property sheet display area (D
In C), a property sheet for the image scanner as shown in FIG. 31(a) is displayed, and the input settings are awaited (Steps Qll in FIG. 57, Q12. i6~
Q19. Q23). Here, if the unit is manually set and the unit is rim, the display state will be as shown in FIG. 31(b), and if the unit is also manually set and the unit is inch, the display state will be as shown in FIG. 31(c).

Also, if any of the external storage devices is selected,
A dedicated property sheet as shown in Figure 32 is displayed in the property sheet display area (DC), and the input settings are awaited (Steps Q20 to Q2 in Figure 57).
3). Here, Fig. 32 (a) shows the case where the secret word specification is unnecessary, and Fig. 32 (b) shows the case where the FM secret word specification is necessary.
C) shows the case where only the secret word is required.

In addition to inputting image data, the following pull-down menu is provided for operating the work view.

When you specify "Redisplay", a property sheet as shown in Figure 33 is displayed, and you can select the image that was stacked by closing the working view and display it again in the working view (Steps Q31 to 57 in Figure 57). Q37). However, if there is no image information already displayed in the work view or stacked, this command operation will be invalid. Here, Fig. 33 (a) shows the case when the stack area is empty, and Fig. 33 (b) and (C) show the case where there is image information in the stack area (Fig. 33 (b) shows that stack number 1.2 is in use. Stack number 2 is used for j?lFr, so it is highlighted. In addition, in Figure (C), the stack area is full and stack number 4 is used most recently, so it is highlighted. ) are shown respectively.

“When the initialization parameter is specified, the display of the work view is cleared (Steps Q38 and Q39 in Figure 57).

Also, when "close" is specified, image information is stacked and the work view is deleted as instructed on the property sheet. Figure 34 shows the property sheet when "closed" is specified.
, (c) are cases where the stack area is already in use, of which, in figure (b), stack number 3 is used (stack number 1 is reserved for system use), and figure (C) indicates that the stack area is full.

FIG. 58 is a flowchart for explaining the process of setting the confidential contractor property sheet.

Is the image input mentioned above confidential? t (password)
If you specify a group name with , this property sheet will be displayed. You cannot "complete" correctly unless you enter the correct secret word. If "Complete" is completed without inputting the secret word, or if a wrong secret word is entered, a guide is displayed (steps R11 to R13 and R19 to R24 in FIG. 58). Confidential words can be set for each group when saving images, which will be described later. If the correct secret word is entered, all image names belonging to that group name will be displayed as a list (5th
8 steps R21, R23, R25 to R27).

FIG. 59 is a flowchart for explaining internal processing operations from setting the property sheet for image input to displaying the read image information in the work view.

The property sheet used here is initialized by selecting the most frequently used case as shown in FIG. 31(a). Therefore, if there is no change, just move the cursor to [Complete] and operate the mouse 6 Ls (single click the left button). Also, if you want to change it, place the cursor on the part you want to change and press mouse 6 Ls.
By operating (single click on the left button),
As shown in FIGS. 31(b) and (C), the inverted display position is changed and the setting parameters are changed (steps 318 to $30 in FIG. 59).

For example, as shown in FIG. 31(a), "AutoPa" is set as the initial value and is highlighted.

This is a case where information such as resolution set as the scanner device can be read. However, depending on the scanner device, there are some scanners that cannot be read, and in this case, as shown in FIG. 31(b) or (C), the setting is reset to ``manual'' and the resolution is set through the screen. That is, in this case, move the cursor to "manual" and press mouse 6 Ls.
(Single-click the left button) The ``Auto'' button will be reversed as shown in Figure 31(b).
It will be changed to “Manual” as shown in .

This then makes it possible to set the resolution.

There are two types of resolution settings: unit designation and numerical value indicating resolution. Two types of units are possible: "1,,'l" and "inch".Place the cursor on the desired frame and press mouse 6 to L.
s (single click on the left button), the desired unit will be highlighted and the resolution unit will be displayed accordingly, as shown in FIG. 31(b).

As shown in FIG.
9). The resolution can be specified by moving the cursor to the entry position and operating the mouse 6 Ls (single click with the left button), allowing numerical input from the keyboard 5. At this time, the end of numerical input is instructed by the "Select/Execute" key.

After completing the above settings, click the mouse 6 button to ``Complete''.
By operating Ls (single click of the left button), the image scanner 14 is activated, image information is input, and is displayed in the work view on the display screen of the CRT display 8 (steps 341 to 5 in FIG. 59).
45). At this time, the property sheet is erased by operating the mouse 6 Ls (single-click the left button) and selecting "Reset" (step $12, 513 in Figure 59).Also, select "Cancel". As a result, all the set parameters are returned to their initial states (steps 815 to 517 in FIG. 59).

Incidentally, if "Complete" is selected, this property sheet is registered in the system initial information area in the main memory 2 and used as initial information.

FIG. 60 is a flowchart showing the processing flow when inputting an image from an external storage device is specified using a property sheet. As shown in FIG. 32, this property sheet is set by selecting the most frequently used property sheet as the initial setting method. Here, the device number corresponds to this, and the first m1
01°' is set as lll. If you want to change this, specify the input frame you want to change and click 6
Operate Ls (single click the left button). 'J
Ai number, group name, image name, etc. can be input and modified using this method (steps T20 to T31 in Figure 60).
. At this time, a space (b) is stored as an initial value for the group name and image name.

When the input is completed, move the cursor to "Done" and operate the mouse 6 (single-click the left button), and the property sheet will disappear (Step T14 in Figure 60.
15. T41. ...).

At this time, the specification of the group name and image name will be as shown below.

1) When neither the group name nor the image name is specified This case is used when you do not know what is contained in the target external storage device.

Here, if a group name is specified in the image information in the target external storage device, all group names are displayed in a list (Steps T14 T54 T55 in FIG. 60). T5
7. T58). At this time, there are cases where image names without a group name are included, and in this case, the group name is displayed as a space.

As mentioned above, point to one of the group names with the mouse 6, operate the mouse 6 by Ls (single click with the left button), then select "Operation" from the menu bar, and then select "Oven" from the pull-down menu. As a result, a list of image names included in the group name is displayed (steps T41 to T48 and T51 in FIG. 60).

Also, if no group is specified, a list of image names is displayed directly (Step T41゜T54 in Figure 60).
5. T57. T59).

Next, select one of the image name icons and perform "operation" and "oven" in the same way as above to display the desired image in the work view (step 7T52 in Figure 60).
．． T53).

2) Group name with fingers and feet, no image name specified This case is the same as selecting the group name icon in 1) above.

3) Image name with finger and foot, group name with finger and foot In this case, image information is input and displayed from the image name belonging to the specified group name (step T49 in FIG. 60).

4) Image name with fingers and no group name specified In this case, input image information from the group name or the image name belonging to the space and display it (Step T56 in Figure 60)
.

In either case, once the image has been displayed in the work view, the menu bar is returned to the original image display.

In case of group name 2) and 3) mentioned above, with fingers and feet, a
The @ word is checked (step 742 in Figure 60).
~T45).

That is, if a group name with a secret word specified is specified, the operation will not be completed unless the correct secret word is input. When "completed", this property sheet is registered in the system initial information area and becomes the initial display from now on, but the confidential word must be set every time.

FIG. 61 is a flowchart for explaining the redisplay property sheet setting process.

As shown in FIG. 33, this property sheet displays the stack number corresponding to the stacked image information together with the input frame.

At this time, the latest stack number is highlighted. Select the stack number with the cursor and click "Done"
By selecting , the corresponding image information is displayed in the work view (steps U11 to U21 in FIG. 61). As a result, the corresponding stack number input frame is deleted from the redisplay property sheet, and the corresponding stack number input frame is added to the closing property sheet as shown in FIG. This property sheet is updated and registered in the system initial information area, and becomes the initial display the next time properties are displayed (steps IJ22 and U23 in FIG. 61).

This operation is invalid if the work view has not been initialized or opened. Property sheets are not updated. Also, “reset” and “
The undo function is similar to other property sheets (Figure 61, step U12.L117゜U14.U24.U
25).

FIG. 62 is a flowchart for explaining the closing property sheet setting process.

In the initial state, input boxes for stack numbers 2 to 4 are displayed, as shown in FIG. 34 (a).

At this time, stack number 1 is reserved for system use and cannot be selected.

By selecting a stack number and selecting "Complete", the corresponding stack number input frame is deleted from the closing property sheet as shown in FIG. 34(b), while the third
The corresponding stack number input frame is added to the property sheet for redisplay shown in Figure 3 (Step V11 in Figure 62).
~V16. V18°v19).

This property sheet is updated and registered in the system initial information area, as in the case of redisplay, and becomes the initial display the next time the property sheet is displayed (steps V20 to 62 in Figure 62).
■23).

If the input frame is not displayed, that is, if all stacks are used, complete this operation by clicking "Reset" (
FIG. 62 Step V12. V17).

In addition, the most recently used stack number will be the 33rd stack number when redisplaying.
It is displayed in reverse video as shown in Figure (b) and serves as a guide.

FIG. 63 is a flowchart for explaining the image information storage process.

Here, when pointing to "Save" on the menu bar and pressing the left button (L) of the mouse 6, a pull-down menu (PDM) as shown in FIG. 37 is displayed (step W11 in FIG. 63).

From this displayed pull-down menu (PDM), select the storage location of the image information while holding down the button (L) of the mouse 6 (steps W12 to W15 in FIG. 63). At this time, the highlighted display changes according to the movement of the mouse, similar to other menu selections.

When the desired menu is selected and the button (L) of the mouse 6 is released, the above pull-down menu (PDM) is cleared and a property sheet as shown in Fig. 38 is displayed, and the property sheet input function is entered (No. 63). Figure step W1
2.1iV16-W20).

FIG. 64 is a flowchart for explaining the setting process of the property sheet for saving image information.

Here, when "Reset" is selected, nothing is done except erase the property sheet (Step X1 in Figure 64).
2. X13).

Also, when "Cancel" is selected, the various set parameters are returned to their initial states (steps X16 to X19 in Figure 64).
).

At this time, in the initial state, as shown in FIG. 38, the device number is 01'' and all others are spaces.

Also, when "Complete" is selected, confirm that the settings have been completed and save the image information of the work view to the specified device (steps X14, X15, and X41 in Figure 64).
X50).

At this time, there are three setting parameters: ``device number'', ``blueprint name'', and ``2 dogs''.

Among these, "device number'°" specifies which device to select when multiple devices of the same type are connected.In this case, move the cursor to "device number". At the same time, it is specified by operating the mouse 6 La (single click of the left button) and inputting a numerical value (steps X20 to x22 in FIG. 64).The input at this time is terminated by pressing the ``Select/Execute'' key.

Furthermore, "group name" is used for hierarchical management as a means of information management, and is not an essential input item (steps X23 to x25 in FIG. 64).

In addition, ``Image name'' is a name used for information classification, and in any case where it is a required input item, move the cursor and operate the mouse 6 Ls (single click with the left button) to input characters (step 64). X32~×34)
. In this case as well, the end of input is the "Select/Execute" key.

Note that the device number designation becomes the first display wJ1171 when the designated number is displayed next time.

The device number is "01" as the initial value, and if changed, that number will be displayed as the initial value from now on.

The initial value of the group name is a space, and if you change it, that name will be displayed as the initial value from now on.

The confidential word specification is a parameter that is not set as the initial value, and if it is changed, that specification will be displayed as the initial value from now on.

Note that if you specify "Yes" for the secret word designation, a guide and input frame for entering the secret word will be displayed, and if you specify "No," the display will be erased (Steps X26 to 64 in Figure 64
×28).

The secret πR needs to be set every time.

The initial value of the image name is a space, and if you change it, that name will be displayed as the initial value from now on.

When you select ``Complete'', the image name is checked (Fig. 64, step X14.X15.X41゜X4
2).

When saving an image, the image name is a required item.

Also, if you set the confidential word specification to "Yes", the group name,
The setting of dense words is a required item. In particular, since there is no means to display σ■1 from now on, care must be taken when handling it.

FIG. 65 and FIG. 66 are flowcharts relating to editing of image information.

At this time, the read image information is displayed in the work view (DB>) shown in Figure 40. Define the necessary parts in this work view by defining area 8Q and specifying the frame by following the steps of @I. Steps Y11 to Y18 in Figure 65).

After this, select "Akebono Collection" on the menu bar and select "Cut" on the pull-down menu (PDM). The contents of the pull-down menu when selecting "wA" on the menu bar at this time are shown in FIG.

This transfers the specified frame to the paste buffer and clears the image within the frame in the working view. At this time,
The image information previously stored in the base buffer is cleared (steps 711-z19 in Figure 66).

Next, a storage area is created at the transfer destination of the image information (ie, the document view) (step z20 in FIG. 66).

By selecting "II" on the menu bar and "Paste" on the pull-down menu, the information already stored in the paste buffer is transferred to the set area frame (steps 221 and Z22 in FIG. 66). On this occasion,
If the transfer sizes are inconsistent, the extra range is discarded.

As mentioned above, when editing a document, it is possible to extract any image and display it on the work view with a simple operation, and the work view can be enlarged/reduced to any size with a simple operation, including images. Editing of documents can be done quickly and smoothly.
