Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

[0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to a file storage management device and a storage medium for storing and managing file data in a specified storage location.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Recently, a plurality of client computers are connected to a server computer via a network such as a LAN (Local Area Network), and various data input to the server computer are shared by the plurality of client computers. The form of the system which performs is increasing. For example, in a company or the like having such a system form, a base paper file (template file) in which a specific format and layout used when creating documents, tables, and the like are set is stored in a shared storage location of a server computer. A user uses a client computer to create a document, a table, and the like based on the base paper file.

When a document, table, or the like is created using a base file shared by a plurality of users, the user generally uses the created document file, table file, or the like as personal data of the user. In addition to saving it, it was often saved in a shared storage location as shared data with other users. In some cases, backup data is saved by specifying another location as needed.

[0004]

However, conventionally,
When saving the same file in a plurality of storage locations, the user first designates a first storage location (for example, a storage location on a personal computer), gives a file name, and instructs to save. The user must perform a file saving operation, and then perform another file saving operation, such as specifying another storage location (for example, a shared storage location such as a server computer), giving a file name, and instructing to save. did not become. In other words, when data is stored in a plurality of storage locations, even if the same file is used, the storage operation must be repeated a plurality of times, resulting in a problem that work efficiency is poor.

[0005] When data is updated by re-editing a file once saved, both the file data saved in the personal computer and the file data saved in the shared storage location are updated. For example, the user sometimes re-edits and updates only the file data stored on the personal computer, and forgets to update the file data stored in the shared storage location. In this case, there is a problem that the contents of the file data stored in the shared storage location and the contents of the file data stored in the personal computer are different.
Also, if the user forgets to backup and save the edited data in another location, there is a concern that the data will be lost if a trouble occurs in the original storage location.

Further, even for the same type of file created using the same base paper file, each user assigns a unique file name and designates a unique storage location (directory) in the shared storage location. There is also a problem that file management in the shared storage location becomes complicated due to the storage.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a file storage management device and a storage medium which can more reliably and easily store and manage a file in a storage location to be stored.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of a dialog box displayed on the display device 5 when an instruction to save a file is input by the input device 3. This shows a case where a designation for saving in both is made. As shown in FIG. 2, the dialog box 20 includes a personal storage item 21 for storing a file in a storage location of a personal computer and a shared storage item 2 for storing a file in a shared storage location.
2 is set, and an “OK” button 23 and a “Cancel” button 24 are provided.

The personal storage item 21 is provided with an input area for designating a "personal storage location", a "storage file name", an "identification name", and a "location". For "Personal storage location", enter the drive and directory name to save the file, such as "C: \ My Documents".
It is specified. This “personal storage location” is, for example, a drop-down list, and may be configured to be input by selecting a desired directory name from the directories in the list.

In the “storage file name”, for example, a file name such as “idea sheet” to be stored is input and specified. In the “identification name”, an identifier such as “(AAA device)” for identifying when the “save file name” of the file to be saved is the same as the “save file name” of the existing file is input. ,It is specified. As the “identification name”, an identifier different from the identifier of the existing storage file may be automatically input and designated. For example, “C: \ My Documents”
If a file with a file name such as “Idea sheet (BBB device)” or “Idea sheet (CCC device)” exists in the file, , An identifier such as “(AAA device)” is automatically input and specified.

In the “position”, when a storage path is created in a storage path creation process to be described later, either “back” or “front” is input as a position where the “identification name” is inserted.
It is specified. If “backward” is specified, “identification name” is inserted immediately after “storage file name”. If “front” is specified, “identification name” is inserted immediately before “storage file name”. Is inserted. This “position” can be selected and designated, for example, “back” or “front”.
It may be a drop-down list.

In FIG. 2, a shared storage item 22
Has an input area for designating a "personal storage location", a "storage file name", an "identification name", and a "location". For "Personal storage location", for example, "\\ Server \ CAS
The drive and directory name of the shared storage location for saving files such as “IO \ patent idea” are entered and specified. This “shared storage location” is, for example, a drop-down list. ,
You may make it possible to input by selecting a desired directory.

In the "storage file name", for example, a file name given to a file to be stored, such as "idea sheet", is input and specified. In the “identification name”, an identifier such as “(AAA device)” for identifying when the “save file name” of the file to be saved is the same as the “save file name” of the existing file is input. ,It is specified. The “identification name” of the shared storage item 22
Also, similarly to the “identification name” of the personal storage item 21, an identifier different from the identifier of the existing storage file may be automatically input and designated.

In that case, for example, “\\ Server \ CASIO
For example, when saving a document file based on a base paper file whose file name is “Idea Sheet” and saved in “\ Patent Idea”, for example, “\\ Server \ CASIO \
"Idea sheet (BBB device)." doc ”,“ Idea sheet (C
CC device). If the file “doc” is stored, an identifier such as “(AAA device)” is automatically input and specified in “identification name”.

In the “position” of the shared storage item 22, similarly to the “position” of the personal storage item 21, either “back” or “front” is input as a position for inserting the “identification name”.
For example, a drop-down list may be specified so that “back” or “front” can be selected.

In the initial state of the dialog box 20, if the file instructed to be saved is a stencil file, the personal storage item 21 contains the contents entered and designated by the previous user in each input area. Is input, and the "shared storage location" and the "storage file name" corresponding to the attribute information (storage location, file name, etc.) of the base paper file stored together with the read base paper file are input in the shared storage item 22. The displayed status is displayed.

If the file instructed to be saved is not a base file but a file to which no attribute information has been added, in the initial state of the dialog box 20, the file 21 The content based on the storage location in which is stored is specified, and a state where nothing has been input (for example, a display state as shown in FIG. 3) is displayed in the shared storage item 22.

It is possible to arbitrarily change or correct the specified content from the specified content of each input area in the initial state by key input using the input device 3 or selection specification in a drop-down list. In the initial state of the dialog box 20, the “identification name” of the personal storage item 21 and the “identification name” of the shared storage item 22
, The same data may be input.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of a display state of a dialog box displayed on the display device 5 when an instruction to save a file is input by the input device 3, and the file is saved only in a personal storage location. This shows the case where the designation has been made. In this case, the data of each input area of the common storage item 22 of the dialog box 20 is cleared (“position”).
Is always cleared because either “back” or “front” is always specified. ), Data is input only to each input area of the personal storage item 21.

In contrast to the case shown in FIG. 3, the data of each input area of the personal storage item 21 is cleared,
By inputting data only in each input area of the shared storage item 22, the file can be stored only in the shared storage location.

Next, the operation will be described. First, a file saving process executed by the CPU 2 of the computer system 1 will be described with reference to a flowchart shown in FIG. Here, programs for realizing the functions described in these flowcharts are stored in a storage medium 7 in the form of readable program codes, and the CPU 2 sequentially executes operations according to the program codes. I do. Further, the CPU 2 can also sequentially execute the operation according to the above-described program code transmitted via the transmission medium. That is, an operation specific to this embodiment can be executed using a program / data externally supplied via a transmission medium other than the storage medium 7.

First, the CPU 2 activates a document creation program in accordance with an instruction input from the input device 3, and acquires file data stored in a storage location (step S1). Then, the CPU 2 determines whether or not information relating to file storage is added as attribute information to the acquired file data, that is, whether or not the acquired file data is a base paper file (step S).
2). If it has been added, the data added to the file data as the attribute information, the data entered in each input area of the personal storage item 21 of the dialog box 20 at the time of the previous file saving, and the file acquired in step S1 Information about file storage such as a shared storage location and a file name set for the data is obtained (step S3), and the process proceeds to step S5.

If the information on file storage is not added as attribute information to the obtained file data, the storage location where the file data was stored is obtained (step S4), and the process proceeds to step S5.

Next, the CPU 2 determines whether the creation and editing of the document have been completed (for example, whether a document editing end instruction has been input through the input device 3) (step S5), and the creation and editing of the document have been completed. If not, CPU2
Determines whether a file save instruction has been input by the input device 3 (step S6). If no file save instruction has been input, a document is created / edited based on the base paper file acquired in step S1 (step S17), and the process returns to step S5.

In step S6, when a file save instruction is input, the CPU 2 stores the attribute information in step S3 in each input area of the personal save item 21 of the dialog box 20 at the time of the previous file save. Initial data based on the input data and the shared storage location set for the file, initial data based on the file name, etc. are input to each input area (initial state), or the file data acquired in step S4 A file saving dialog box 20 is displayed on the display device 5 in a state where the initial data based on the storage location of the file is input to each input area (step S7).

Then, in accordance with an input / correction instruction from the input device 3, the "personal storage location" of the personal storage item 21
Specifying information related to file storage such as “storage file name”, “identification name” and “location” (step S
8 to S10). Further, in accordance with an input / correction instruction from the input device 3, “shared storage location” of the shared storage item 22,
Specifying information related to file storage such as “storage file name”, “identification name” and “location” (step S
11 to S13).

Then, the CPU 2 determines whether the "OK" button 23 or the "Cancel" button 24 provided in the dialog box 20 has been pressed (step S14), and the "Cancel" button 24 has been pressed. In this case, the data of each input area designated by the processing of steps S8 to S13 is canceled (cleared), and a document is created / edited based on the file data acquired in step S1 (step S17). , Step S
Return to 5.

When the "OK" button 23 is pressed,
In the processing of steps S8 to S13, the CPU 2 determines whether or not information on file storage is specified in at least one of the personal storage item 21 and the shared storage item 22 (step S1).
5). If the designation has been made, the designated contents of the information on saving the file are temporarily stored (stored) in the RAM 4.
Then, the document is created / edited (step S16), and the process returns to step S5. If neither is specified, the process returns to step S7,
Again, processing for designating information on file storage (steps S8 to S13) is performed.

If it is determined in step S5 that the document creation / edit processing has been completed, the CPU 2
Determines whether data is input to each input area in the personal storage item 21 and information on file storage is specified (step S18). When information related to file saving is specified in each input area in the personal saving item 21 and stored in the RAM 4, the stored "personal saving location", "storage file name", "identification name" , And a “location”, the storage path creation process (see FIG. 5) is executed (step S19), and the process proceeds to step S20. If the information on file storage is not specified in each input area in the personal storage item 21, the process directly proceeds to step S20.

In step S20, the CPU 2 inputs data to each input area in the shared storage item 22,
It is determined whether or not information on file storage has been specified. When information related to file storage is specified in each input area in the shared storage item 22 and stored in the RAM 4, the document data is recognized as base paper data, and the “shared storage” stored in the RAM 4 is recognized. Based on the "location", "storage file name", "identification name", "position, etc.", a storage path creation process (see FIG. 5) is executed (step S21), and the process proceeds to step S22. If information relating to file storage is not specified in each input area in the shared storage item 22, the information is recognized as ordinary personal document data, and the process directly proceeds to step S22.

In step S22, it is determined whether or not a file having the same file name (“storage file name” + “identifier”) already exists in the designated storage location. If there is no file having the same file name, the file is stored in the personal storage location or the shared storage location as it is, and in step S16, information about the file storage temporarily stored in the RAM 4 is stored together with the file as attribute information. The information is stored in the device 6 (step S24), and the process ends.

In step S22, if a file having the same file name already exists, it is determined whether or not the file is overwritten (for example, whether or not an overwrite saving instruction is input by the input device 3). It is determined whether or not to update the contents of the base paper file itself (step S2).
3). When the overwrite save instruction is input, the file is overwritten and saved in the existing file at the designated storage location, and the information about the file save temporarily stored in the RAM 4 in step S16 is used as the attribute information of the document file. At the same time, the information is stored in the storage device 6 (step S24), and the process ends. If there is no input of the overwrite save instruction, it is determined that the designation of the file name, the save location, and the like is incorrect, and the process returns to step S7 again to designate each information relating to the file save.

Next, the CPU 2 of the computer system 1
Path creation processing (FIG. 4, step S)
17, S19) will be described based on the flowchart shown in FIG.

The data specified in the personal storage item 21 specified in the dialog box 20 or the data specified in the shared storage item 22 (storage location, storage file name, identification name, position, etc.) is read (step S3).
0), it is determined whether the position where the identifier is to be inserted is forward or backward (step S31). If it is forward, the identifier is inserted before the file name and a path is created (step S31). Step S32), and returns to the file saving process (FIG. 4). If it is later, an identifier is inserted after the file name to create a path (step S33), and the process returns to the file saving process (FIG. 4).

For example, when the designated content as shown in FIG. 2 is input to each input area of the dialog box 20, the personal storage path created by the above-described storage path creation processing (FIG. 5) is "C : \ My Documents \ Ideasheet (AAA device) .doc ", and the shared storage path is" \\ Ser
ver \ CASIO \ Patent idea \ Idea sheet (AAA device) .doc ".

For example, when the designation as shown in FIG. 3 is input to each input area of the dialog box 20, the personal storage path created by the above-described storage path creation processing (FIG. 5) is " C: \ My Documents \ 0001-Ideasheet.doc ". In this case, "position" is "forward"
Is specified, "0001" specified in "Distinguished Name"
“-” Is inserted immediately before the “Idea sheet” specified in the “Save file name”. Then, as shown in FIG. 3, when no data is input to the shared storage item 22, a shared storage path is not created.

As described above, the CPU 2 starts the document creation program, obtains the file data stored in the storage location, and, in accordance with the file storage instruction from the input device 3, the file storage dialog box 20 (FIG. 2, refer to FIG. 3) in each input area in a state where initial data based on attribute information added to the base paper file and stored, or initial data based on a storage location where the obtained file is stored (initial data). State) on the display device 5. In this initial state, in the personal storage item 21 of the dialog box 20, the data input when the file was previously stored or the data based on the storage location where the file was stored is input. , A shared storage location, a storage file name, and the like corresponding to the obtained base paper file are input.

Then, the CPU 2 designates a personal storage location, a storage file name, an identification name, a shared storage location, a storage file name, an identification name, and the like in accordance with an input / correction instruction from the input device 3, and stores the specified content. Temporarily save in RAM4. Then, an instruction to end the document creation and editing is sent to the input device 3.
Then, based on the specified contents temporarily stored in the RAM 4, the storage path creation processing (FIG. 5) is executed, and the file is stored in the personal storage location and the shared storage location.

Therefore, information relating to file storage is added to the base paper file that has been shared and stored, and when the base paper file is obtained and a document is created and edited, a shared storage location and a storage location corresponding to the base paper file are set. Since the storage file name is automatically input and specified as the initial data of “shared storage location” and “storage file name” of the shared storage item 21, if the document is based on the same base paper file,
Even if the documents are individually created by a plurality of users, the storage location and file name of the files can be made uniform. Further, it is possible to more reliably and easily save a file in the shared storage location. for that reason,
Easily manage and organize files in shared storage,
It becomes easier to use those document files as shared assets.

When the same file is saved, the same file can be saved in two storage locations, a personal storage location and a shared storage location, by one operation, so that it is not necessary to perform the save operation twice. , Work efficiency can be improved.
In addition, the file can be more reliably stored in the two storage locations.

Further, an individual identifier is automatically set as an “identification name” for each file, and inserted immediately before or immediately after the “storage file name”, thereby giving an individual file name to each file. Allows you to easily manage and organize files in a shared storage location where document files created by multiple users are stored,
Document files stored in the shared storage location can be more easily used as shared assets.

When specifying the storage location, the user can check the initial data automatically set in the dialog box 20 displayed on the display device 5. And the like can be input and designated more easily.

In the above embodiment, when a document file is saved, the document file is simultaneously saved in two storage locations. For example, when a file including a table data file and an image data file is saved, It is also possible to apply.

Further, in the above embodiment, the file is stored with the shared storage location information added thereto, but this may be the backup storage location information,
A plurality of storage location information to be stored may be added and stored.

In the above embodiment, the case where a document file based on a base paper file stored in a shared storage location is stored has been described. For example, the present invention is also applicable to the case where a newly created file is stored. It is possible to apply In that case, for example, the initial state of the dialog box 20 may be set so that a state in which nothing is input is displayed in each input area, and a new input is performed. In such a case, the shared storage location information is added and stored, and thereafter, the document file is treated as a base paper file in which a storage location other than the user's specification is specified.

Furthermore, the initial state of the dialog box 20 may be changed by the user, and other details may be changed as appropriate without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

[0064]

According to the first and fifth aspects of the present invention, information of a storage location to be stored is added to a data file and stored. When saving, the file can be automatically saved according to the save location information, so that the data file can be saved more easily and reliably at the save location to be saved.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, the user checks the information on the storage location to be stored displayed on the dialogue input screen, and inputs and corrects the information as needed, thereby making the desired storage location. Can be specified, input and specification of a storage location, a file name, and the like become easier, and file storage, management, and organization become easier.

According to the third and sixth aspects of the present invention, since the document data based on the base paper data is stored with the shared storage location information added, the document data based on the base paper data is stored. When saving, the shared storage location can be automatically specified according to the shared storage location information, so that the document data can be more easily and reliably stored in the shared storage location, and the document data can be used as a shared asset.
