[0026]
The specific directory 31 is a directory for temporarily storing files instructed to be stored, and the storage directory group 33 is a set of directories for storing files according to their classification.
[0027]
The directory information DB 32 holds information such as the directory name of each directory of the storage directory group 33 and storage conditions (file names of files to be stored and keywords included in file contents).
[0028]
The file information DB 35 records a file name, a storage directory name, and operator information.
[0029]
The processing device 2 includes a directory monitoring unit 21, a directory search unit 22 (first directory search unit), a file storage unit 23, a directory search unit 24 (second directory search unit), a file information update unit 25, and a file search unit 26. have.
[0030]
The directory monitoring unit 21 acquires the update event information of the specific directory 31, and takes over the file information (file name, file data) as a processing target and transfers it to the directory search unit 22.
[0031]
The directory search means 22 checks whether the file name or the contents of the file information satisfies each storage condition of the directory information DB 32, finds a directory to be stored, and if there is, transfers it to the file storage means 23 so as to store the file there.
[0032]
The directory search means 24 receives the file information to be processed when there is no directory to be stored, checks whether a file similar to the file information exists in the common directory 34, and transfers the file information and the check result to the file storage means 23. .
[0033]
If there is a similar file, the file storage means 23 creates a new directory, stores the file information and the similar file therein, and adds or updates the directory name, storage conditions, and the like in the directory information DB 32. If there is no similar file, the file to be processed is stored in the common directory 34.
[0034]

[0041]
The common directory 34 contains the GHI proposal. txt and other files are stored. The operator column records the name or identification of the person who created or updated the file.
[0042]
In this state, GHI budget. When txt is stored in the specific directory 31, a directory called GHI relation having a keyword of GHI is newly created, and a GHI project. txt and GHI Budget. txt is stored in the GHI project book. txt is deleted.
[0043]
Next, the operation of the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIGS. 4 and 5 are flowcharts showing processing by each unit of the processing apparatus 2 except for the file search unit 26.
[0044]
Referring to FIG. 4, when an electronic data file is stored in the specific directory 31 by the file temporary storage unit 27 according to an instruction from the input device 1 (step A1), the directory monitoring unit 21 acquires the event information, and The file information (file name and the like) is taken over by the directory search means 22 (step A2).
[0045]
The directory search means 22 acquires the directory name and the keyword (storage condition) of the directory information DB 32 (step B1), and sequentially checks whether or not these keywords exist in the file name of the electronic data file to be processed (step B2).
[0046]
If the keyword does not exist in the file name, it is checked whether the extension of the file name includes text data (step B3). If it is a type that includes a keyword, it is sequentially checked whether a keyword exists in the file contents (step B4).
[0047]
If the keyword exists in the file name or the file content, the directory name corresponding to the hit keyword is taken as the storage destination directory name and is taken over to the file storage means 23 together with the file information (step B5).
[0048]
If the keyword does not exist or if the extension is not a type including text data, the file information is taken over to the directory search means 24 (step B6).
[0049]
The directory search unit 24 checks the file stored in the common directory 34 for a file similar to the inherited file based on the information inherited from the preprocessing. Get the keyword.
[0050]
For example, a keyword is extracted from the inherited file name, and the file name in the common directory 34 is inspected with the extracted file name. , A file name, file data, and the common keyword are added (step C3).
[0051]
If the keyword is not included, the keyword is extracted from the content of the inherited file, and the content of each file in the common directory 34 is inspected. If there is a file containing the keyword in the content (step C2), the process proceeds to step C3. Proceed to processing.
[0052]
If there is no file including the keyword in the content, the inspection result is determined to be no similar file (step C4).
[0053]
Subsequent to step C3 or step C4, the inherited file information to be processed, the inspection result, and the added information are inherited to the file storage unit 23 (step C5).
[0054]
Next, the processing of the file storage unit 23 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. When inherited from the directory search unit 24, the file storage unit 23 creates a new directory if the inspection result indicates that there is a similar file (step D1), and sets the new directory as a storage destination directory of the similar file as the file to be processed.
[0055]
The name of the new directory is the first word or two words of the inherited keyword, or a name obtained by combining “relation”, “relation”, and the like. (Step D2).
[0056]
If there is no similar file, the common directory is set as the storage destination directory of the file to be processed (step D3).
[0057]
The files to be processed and similar files are stored in the storage directory (step D4). As a file storage result, the file name and the storage destination directory name are displayed together on the output device 4 (step D5).
[0058]
In addition to the file storage result (file name and storage destination directory name), the associated keyword information when the storage destination directory name is new / not new is taken over by the file information updating means 25 (step D6).
[0059]
When the data is taken over from the directory search means 22, the processing of steps D4 and D6 is performed. In step D6, the file storage result (file name and storage destination directory name) is passed to the file information updating means 25.
[0060]
The file information updating unit 25 updates the file information DB 35 based on the file name, storage directory name, and operator name of the information inherited from the preprocessing (step E1).
[0061]
If the storage directory is new, a new directory name and a keyword as its storage condition are added to the directory information DB 32 (step E2). The file is deleted from the specific directory 31 (step E3). A similar file is deleted from the common directory 34 (step E4).
[0062]
The file search from the input device 1 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. The file search means 26 receives a search request and a search key (file name, operator name, etc.) from the input device 1 (step F1). The file information DB 35 is searched using the search key (step F2), and the search result is displayed on the output device 4 (step F3).
[0063]
If the search key is set to each directory of the storage directory group 33 or the directory name of the common directory 34, a list of files stored in the directory can also be displayed on the output device 4.
[0064]
Next, the detailed processing of step B4 of the directory search means 22 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.
[0065]
The contents of a file often include a block such as a heading, a header, a footer, and the like. These include a title or a document name that briefly indicates the contents of the file, and thus are referred to as a title block.
[0066]
First, the type of the title block is set as a heading (step B4-1), and it is checked whether a heading can be set with the extension of the file to be processed. (Step B4-2) If there is, it is checked whether or not any of the keywords of each directory of the storage directory group is included in the heading of the file to be processed, and if so, the fact and the corresponding directory name are returned (Step B4-4). .
[0067]
If the heading does not include any keyword, the title block type is not the last footer (step B4-5), so the title block type is set as the next header (step B4-6), and the file extension is used as a clue. It is checked whether or not there is header data (step B4-2). If there is, header contents are searched with the above-mentioned keywords (step B4-3).
[0068]
It is checked whether any of the above keywords is included in the header of the file to be processed, and if so, a corresponding fact and the corresponding directory name are returned (step B4-4).
[0069]
The contents of the footer are inspected, and if the corresponding keyword is not found (step B4-5), information not including the keyword is returned to the calling source (step B4-7).
[0070]
Next, with reference to a flowchart of FIG. 8, a detailed process of step C1 of the directory search means 24 will be described.
[0071]
The file name of the file to be processed without the extension is used as a keyword (step C1-1), and it is checked whether or not each file in the common directory 34 includes this keyword in the file name (step C1-2). If there is (step C1-3), the fact, the file name, and the hit keyword are returned (step C1-4).
[0072]
If there is no file name including the keyword, if the keyword is not one word (step C1-5), the last character of the keyword is deleted (step C1-6), and the steps after step C1-2 are repeated.
[0073]
If there is no file that includes this in the file name in the state where the name of the file to be processed becomes the first word of the file name, the file is returned to the calling source without including the keyword (step C1-7).
[0074]
Note that the keyword may not be one word in step C1-5 but may be a predetermined number of characters (for example, three characters).
[0075]
Next, with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 9, the detailed processing of step C2 of the directory search means 24 will be described.
[0076]
First, a keyword is extracted from the title block of the file to be processed, and the type (title block (target)) of the title block to be extracted is set as a heading (step C2-1).
[0077]
If it is checked whether there is heading data based on the extension of the processing target file (step C2-2), the character string of the heading of the processing target file is used as a keyword. Here, if the character string exceeds a predetermined number of words (for example, 4 words), the leading predetermined word number portion is used as a keyword (step C2-3).
[0078]
It is checked whether or not each file in the common directory 34 includes a keyword in any of the title blocks (heading, header, or footer) (step C2-4). , A keyword, and a file name are returned (step C2-6).
[0079]
If the file does not include the file, if the keyword is not one word (step C2-7), the last word of the keyword is deleted (step C2-8), and the step C2 is performed until the corresponding file is found or the inspection of the keyword is completed in one word. -4, C2-5, C2-7, C2-8 are repeated.
[0080]
If there is no corresponding file and the keyword is in one word state (step C2-7), the title block (target) is set to the next type of header (step C2-10), and the steps after step C2-2 are repeated.
[0081]
If the file to be processed includes the header, a file corresponding to the keyword extracted from this is searched (step C2-4).
[0082]
If the file is not found, it is checked whether the file to be processed includes a footer block. If the file is not included, or if the keyword extracted from the footer block of the file to be processed does not include the file (step C2-9), the keyword is not included. Is returned (step C2-11).
[0083]
In the above description of the embodiment, the title block is a heading, a header, and a footer, all of which are search targets of keywords, and are used as a keyword extraction source. However, the present invention is not limited to this. It may be. The header and footer may be limited to those of the first page.
[0084]
Furthermore, the content of the document is searched for “title”, “title”, and “document name”. If a hit is found, the character string following these is obtained up to immediately before the delimiter, line feed code, and a predetermined number or more of continuous spaces. In some cases, this is regarded as a title block and used as a keyword search target or a keyword extraction source.
[0085]
That is, when there is no specified title block or when a storage condition keyword is not included, a heading or the like is searched for, and it is checked whether or not the specified title block exists before the heading or the like. In some embodiments, the part is set as a keyword for similar file detection.
[0086]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the present invention, the storage directory is automatically determined based on the file name and the content of the file instead of selecting the storage directory by the operator, so that the method of distributing the files to the directories is unified. Prevents distribution of file storage directories.
[0087]
Further, since the operation of selecting the storage directory by the operator is unnecessary, the number of man-hours for file storage can be reduced.
[0088]
Furthermore, the stored information is automatically converted into a database, and a search means for the database is also provided, so that file and storage directory information can be searched.
