Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To easily manage an image by normal file management and to obtain a target image only by simple key operations. SOLUTION: A target image file is sorted and stored in the last folder of hierarchical structure. Presence/absence of an image file with the same name as a folder is checked for all folders which are one grade below in the hierarchy when a current folder is in halfway of folder hierarchy in retrieval. When the image file with the same name exists, the image file is secured and when no image file with the same name exists, a substitute image file is secured. The image of the image file is displayed on a browser as image keys of each folder. The retrieval enters deep hierarchy of hierarchical folders by selecting the image key, when the folder hierarchy reaches the last, the presence/absence of the image file with the same name as the folder is checked for the last folder when the folder hierarchy becomes the last. When the image file with the same name exists, the image file is secured, when an image file with a different name exists, the leading image file is secured and when no image file exists, the substitute image file is secured. The image and detailed information on merchandise are displayed on the browser after securing the detailed information on merchandise.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a file management system and a management method, and to a recording medium on which the program is recorded, and more particularly to a file management engine which can easily perform file management in a folder creation manner.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, when managing a plurality of image files, a folder is created for each image file to be classified,
A folder name related to the image file is assigned to those folders, and the related image file is stored in the named folder. However, although the contents of the folder can be inferred to some extent from the folder name, it is difficult to accurately grasp the contents of the image files stored in the folder name from the folder name. Especially when the folder name is a foreign language. Therefore, the contents cannot be known unless the folder is opened and viewed.
That is, since the image management is the same as the normal file management, the image management is simple, but it is difficult to obtain a target image in terms of operation. On the other hand, using an HTML file, text information including character data, image information including graphic data, and the like are also displayed through a browser. It is also used to create Internet homepages. Since links can be provided between images, clicking on the image button allows the user to enter a deep hierarchy, so that the operation is simple and the desired screen information can be easily obtained. Therefore, HT
Image management using an ML file is also conceivable.

[0003]

However, to create an HTML file, a troublesome program must be created using a command called a tag. For this reason, it cannot be created unless the user is familiar. In order to manage an image using an HTML file, an image file to be embedded in a document and a location where the image file is stored must be specified using a tag. If you also want to see information related to the image file,
A more complicated description, such as linking the image file, is required. Also, if the image file is modified or added, it is necessary to change the description in the source file. Therefore, the operation is simple and excellent for presentation, but difficult to use for image management. This is not limited to image files.
Documents such as rd (both are trademarks) or moving image files are common.

An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, to easily manage files by ordinary folder management, and to easily obtain desired items by simple button operation. It is an object of the present invention to provide a file management system and a management method capable of performing the above, and a recording medium recording the program.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiments of a file management system and a management method according to the present invention will be described below. Here, a case of a still image file for recording a product image will be described as an example.

FIG. 9 shows an image management system according to the embodiment. The image management system that manages the image of a product includes a terminal device such as a personal computer, and a network such as the Internet. The personal computer includes a control circuit 1, and the input circuit 2, the output device 3, the hierarchical folder creating means 4, the searching means 5, the securing means 7,
It controls the display means 6 and the like. Note that the hierarchical folder creating means 4, the searching means 5, and the securing means 7 are separately provided for convenience from the control circuit 1, but may be included in the control circuit 1.

The hierarchical folder creating means 4 includes a main folder serving as a first hierarchy for image files, a plurality of second hierarchy folders for classifying the image files in a hierarchy immediately below the main folder, and a folder of each second hierarchy. Folders are hierarchically created, such as a plurality of third-level folders that are classified in more detail one level below, and a plurality of N-th (N is a natural number) folders at the last level are created. Classify and store target image files.

When searching for a target image file in a folder, if the current folder being monitored is in the middle of the folder hierarchy, the search means 5 searches for all folders in the hierarchy immediately below the current folder. It is checked whether an image file having the same name as the folder exists in the folder. In addition, by selecting the image button described below, the user enters a deeper hierarchy of the hierarchical folder, and when the folder hierarchy is selected by selecting the image button, the last folder has the same name as that folder in the folder. It is checked whether or not the image file exists.

The display means 6 displays the content of the image file, which will be described later, on a browser as image buttons of all folders one level below the current folder.
The image of the secured image file and the detailed product information described later are displayed on the browser.

When searching for a folder in the middle of the hierarchical folder, the securing means 7 secures the image file having the same name if the image file exists, and secures the substitute image file if the image file does not exist. When searching for the last folder, if an image file with the same name exists, the image file is secured,
If there is no image file with the same name but an image file with a different name, secure the first image file,
If no image file exists, a substitute image file is reserved. Further, the product database 8 is searched by the last folder name in which the secured image file is stored. If the product database is already registered, the detailed product information is secured. Secure detailed information.

The browser may access the Internet 9 using a predetermined URL and display the Web in the corresponding server 10, or may display the Web in the LAN or the Web in the product database 8 provided in a single computer.
May be displayed.

The image files are managed by using a hierarchical folder creating means 4 which is a folder management tool provided as standard equipment in the OS installed in the personal computer.
That is, the image files are classified and arranged using a hierarchical structure in which lower folders are created in one folder.

For example, when the product is furniture, and when the image of the furniture is managed, as shown in FIG. 2, a “main menu” folder is first created for the furniture, and “sofas” are classified by class under the folder. , “Table”, “bed” folders... (FIG. 2A). Next, a folder is further created one layer below these created folders. Here, the case of the “sofa” folder will be described, but “1P Softa”,
"2P Softa", "3P Softa", "Cush
“ion” folder... (FIG. 2B). Further, a product folder that is the last layer is created at a layer immediately below these created folders. Here, "3P So
The case of the “fa” folder will be described, but “IB00325”, “IB00685”,
"IB03569" folder ... is created (Fig. 2
(C)). Then, the image files “IB0032 of the furniture having the same name as the product folder are added to the created product folders.
5. jpg "," IB00685.jpg "," IB0
3569. jpg ”are stored (FIG. 2
(D)). This completes the creation of the image management folder by the user. As described above, the creation of the image management folder may be performed by an operation that is no different from a normal folder creation or file management method. Here, in order to secure an image file having the same name as the folder instead of the substitute image file, the sofa. Folder in FIG. The jpg file is stored in the 3P of FIG. 2 (c).
3P Sofa. jpg files must be stored.

Next, the operation of expanding the contents of a folder on the Web using the above-described image management folder having a hierarchical structure will be described.

FIG. 1 is a flowchart of a folder content Web development algorithm as an image management engine, FIG. 3 is a diagram of a folder hierarchy, and FIG. 4 is a browser screen of a folder. The description will be made with reference to these drawings.

The personal computer is turned on, the OS is started, the file management tool is started, and then the image management engine is operated. First, the number of folders in the monitored current folder is confirmed by the control circuit 1 (step 101).
The confirmation of the number of folders will be described with reference to FIG. FIG.
Is a folder hierarchy image when the above-described folder hierarchy image of FIG. 2 is completely operated using the image management engine. The number of confirmed folders is
In the range shown in FIG. 3, if the current folder is the “Main Menu” (a1) in the first hierarchy, the number of folders under the current folder is “Sofa”, “Table”, and “Bed”. . If the current folder is the second-level sofa (a2), the number of folders under that sofa is “1P
Sofa "," 2P Sofa "," 3P Sof "
a "," Cushion "," Easy chai "
r "and" Ottoman ". If the current folder is “3P Softa” (a3) in the third hierarchy, the number of folders under that folder is “IB00325”, “I
B00685 ". If the current folder is “IB00325” (b) in the lowest layer, the number of folders under the current folder is zero.

After confirming the number of folders in the current folder in step 101, the search means 5 checks whether the folder in the current folder is in the middle of the folder hierarchy or the last (step 102). If so, it is checked whether there is an image file with the same name as the folder in the folder (step 104). In FIG. 3, assuming that the hierarchy in which the “main menu” folder (a1) exists is the first hierarchy, the middle of the folder hierarchy is 3P.
Up to the third level where Softa (a3) is present, and the fourth level where the “IB00325” folder one level below is located is the last level. For an image file with the same name as the folder, for example, if the current folder is “Main Menu”
If the folder therein is “sofa” (a2), “sofa.jpg”, the current folder is “sofa”, and the folder therein is “3P So”, for example.
fa ”(a3), it becomes“ 3P Softa.jpg ”.

If there is an image file of the same name, the image file is secured by the securing means 7 (step 1).
05) If there is no image file of the same name, a substitute image file is secured as an image file of the same name (step 1).
06). Here, the purpose of securing the substitute image file is to create an image button. The substitute image file is prepared in advance, and its contents are constituted by, for example, image data written as "no image".

After the image file having the same name or the substitute image file is secured in this way, Steps 103 to 107 are repeated to secure the image files for all the folders under the current folder. Create a list of files (Step 10
8). HTML that can display image files in a list
A file is automatically created (Step 109) and displayed on the display means 6 by a Web browser (Step 110).
Here, the HTML file can be automatically created because a template described later has been created. Note that HT
An SGML file or the like may be used instead of the ML file.

This display result indicates that the current folder is the main menu (a1), sofa (a2), 3P Softa
4A, FIG. 4B, and FIG. 4C at the time of (a3). That is, each folder under the current folder is displayed as an image button composed of the image itself of the image file stored in the last folder. If the number of image files is large and cannot be displayed on one screen, the images that could not be displayed may be displayed on the next page and thereafter.

For the display screens shown in FIGS. 4A to 4C, for example, a template as shown in FIG. 5 is prepared in advance and used. The number and size of image display areas are not fixed but variable, and information is exchanged interactively with the folder side. The size and number of display areas increase and decrease according to the number of images, and the number of images is one page. When the number increases beyond the standard number (for example, six), it may be pasted on the template of the next page. In the case of FIG. 4D, a template is created in the same manner.

If the current folder is the last in the folder hierarchy in step 102 for checking the existence of a folder in the folder hierarchy, the search means 5 further checks whether there is an image file having the same name as the folder in the folder. Is checked (step 111), and if there is an image file, the image file is secured (step 112). If this is illustrated in FIG. 3, the current folder is IB00325
At the time of (b), not under the folder,
Image file IB0032 having the same name as the current folder
5. jpg is present. This image file is secured by the securing means 7.

If no image file with the same name is found in step 111, the search means 5 checks whether or not there is an image file in the folder (step 11).
3). If an image file exists, the image file is sorted by image name to secure the first image file (step 11).
4). For example, if the last folder is “IB03569” in FIG. 2D, there are two image files, but “IB035691.j
pg ”is secured. If there is no image file, a substitute image file is secured (step 115).
As the substitute image file here, as described above, an image file in a folder on the same layer is selected, and “IB0356
9 ”, and stored as an image file having the same name as the folder.

After securing the image file, the search means 5 searches the product database with the folder name (step 116), and checks whether or not it has been registered in the product database (step 117). Is newly registered (step 118), and the securing means 7 secures the detailed product information in the same manner as the registered one (step 119). Here, newly registering in the product database means storing attributes such as position information (file path) and file name of the secured image file (or folder) in the product database.

After securing the detailed product information by the securing means 7, the HTM which can display the secured information on a Web browser
L file is automatically created (step 109), and We
b. Display on the display means 6 by the browser (step 11)
0). This display result is as shown in FIG. That is, the enlarged vivid image and the detailed product information of the image are displayed together. The product detailed information includes a product maker, a store, a price, a performance, and the like.

A case where the user operates the above contents on the Web will be described with reference to FIG. In the main menu image shown in FIG.
When is clicked, a list of images related to the sofa, which is one page after the currently displayed main menu page, is displayed (FIG. 4B). Here, display means 6
Is clicked on the 3P Sofa image button 42 displayed on the screen, and the next page is displayed.
The offa screen is displayed (FIG. 4C). Further IB0
When the 0325 image button 43 is clicked, the product that will be the last page is displayed as detailed information (FIG. 4D).

FIG. 4 (c) actually displayed on the Web,
The detailed screen of FIG. 4D is as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7 when assuming the purchase of a product. When a “return” button 61 is pressed in the figure, the page immediately before the currently displayed page is displayed, and when a “next page” button 62 is pressed,
The next page after the currently displayed page is displayed.

In FIG. 7, an "enter basket" button 7
When the mouse is clicked on 2, the displayed product image 7
This means that item 1 has been selected and entered the shopping cart in the virtual space.

If necessary, the product selected in the lowermost layer of another folder is put in the basket, and finally a “selection list” button 73
When is pressed, a list of selected products is displayed as shown in FIG. 8, and the shopping ends. Items in the selected product list include, for example, product names, product prices, selected quantities, subtotals, images, and the like.

In FIG. 7, when the print button is pressed, whether a remote printer connected to the network
An output device 3 such as an AN or a locally connected printer can be selected. If the printer connected to the network is a high-definition printer, it is possible to print while maintaining a high-quality catalog that cannot be obtained on a LAN or locally.

In this system, the image of the image file is copied as the image or the substitute image, and data (image icon) obtained by converting the image into an icon is registered as an image button. That is, an image button indicating the target product image itself is automatically created in the Web.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, since the folder is constituted by the image buttons for displaying the images in the folder, the contents of the image file can be accurately grasped. Further, the user can easily access the desired desired product only by categorizing and managing the image files in the folder having the hierarchical structure and by simply clicking the displayed image button. Therefore, there is no need to create cumbersome HTML files with tags, and image management and operation can be performed very easily just by creating ordinary hierarchical folders, so that the printing industry, medical industry, restaurant industry, building industry, etc. Application in all fields is possible. Although it is not as good as a full-fledged flyer or catalog of advertisements, it is easy to create a catalog, which has been difficult so far.

To add or delete an image file, similarly to a document file, simply add or register an image file in a corresponding folder, or create a new folder and create an image file there. Can be easily handled by registering (storing) the image file, deleting the image file in the corresponding folder, or deleting the folder itself. Therefore, a troublesome rewriting operation like an HTML file is not required.

FIG. 1 shows a more specific folder hierarchy image.
Explanation will be made using 0. In FIG. 10, the left side is a screen displaying folders of each hierarchical level by a browser, and the right side shows a folder hierarchical image of a tree structure.

As the basic software for operating the image management engine, in the embodiment, the product name 4D (4Th Dimension: trademark) which is a database software is used. The OS of the personal computer is Windows (registered trademark), Maci.
The browser is Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator, and the file management tool is Explorer or the like (both are trademarks).

It should be noted that the product is not limited to a product to be sold. It may be not for sale. In addition, the goods may be non-objective, regardless of personal property or real estate, and are any items to be managed, as long as they are images showing products without relying on languages or images that allow intuitive understanding of products. Good. Images include not only photographs and illustrations but also internationally common symbols and signs. In addition to the image files such as still images and moving images, the files include PDF and Word.
, Etc., or a combination thereof. The content of the file displayed on the browser as the image button is, for example, a still image of the first frame (or an arbitrary frame) in the case of a moving image, and a first page (or an arbitrary page) in the case of a document.
Further, the item detailed information means information that supplements the document content in the case of documents, text information that describes a moving image in the case of a moving image file, and the like.

In the above-described embodiment, in order to secure an image file having the same name as the folder, when the image files are classified and arranged by creating a hierarchical folder, the user stores the image file with the same name in the folder. However, by securing the substitute image file as an arbitrary image file in the lowest layer under the current folder instead of a provisional “no image” file, the image file with the same name as the folder is automatically Can be stored in a folder. That is, based on the image folder hierarchical image (not including the image file having the same name) created by the procedure shown in FIG. 2, when the user operates the image management engine shown in FIG. The hierarchical image is automatically rewritten into the folder hierarchical image of FIG. 3, and the image file serving as the image button indicating the folder content is automatically complemented in the corresponding folder, and the image folder hierarchical image is completed.

A method of securing the substitute image file will be described. In FIG. 2, if the current folder is the “Main Menu” folder, and the folder in the folder is, for example, “Sofa”, and there is no image file with the same name in that folder, the folder is placed under the “Sofa” folder. A certain head folder, for example, a “1P Softa” folder is selected. If there is an image file in the selected folder, the image file is stored in the “sofa” folder as an image file of the same name “sofa.jpg” and secured. If there is no image file in the "1P Softa" folder, the image file existing in the first folder under the "1P Softa" folder is further brought as a substitute file, and the file is given the same name as the "sofa" folder. Is stored and secured as an image file “sofa.jpg”.

The current folder is the "sofa" folder, and the top folder in the folder is, for example, "1P".
If there is no image file of the same name in the “Sofa” folder, the first folder under the “1P Softa” folder, for example, “IB003”
25 "folder. If there is an image file in the selected folder, the image file
Sofa ”folder, the image file of the same name“ 1P S
ofa. jpg ”and ensured. "1P S
If there is no image file in the “1P Softa” folder, an image file existing in the first folder under the “1P Softa” folder is brought as a substitute image file, and the same name is placed in the “1P Softa” folder. It is stored and secured as an image file “1P Softa.jpg”.

If the current folder is, for example, "3P
Sofa "folder, and the first folder in it is
For example, when it is assumed that the folder is the “IB00325” folder (FIG. 2C), if there is no image file with the same name in the folder, an appropriate image file is brought from another folder of the same hierarchy and the “IB00325” An image file of the same name “IB00325.jpg” is secured in the folder.

When an image file serving as an image button is automatically created in a folder, creation of a hierarchical folder and file management become easier.

[0049]

According to the present invention, detailed information of the last item can be easily obtained simply by operating the files in the folder having the hierarchical structure and operating the image button. Further, after a folder is created hierarchically, the hierarchical structure is automatically linked to the HTML link by simply operating a button on the Web, so that complicated and complicated work as in the related art is not required. Therefore, file management and operation become very easy.
