Description

  The present invention relates to a data processing apparatus and a data processing method.

  In general, when a data file such as a document or a moving image is reproduced or subjected to processing such as editing, the data file is first opened. The opened data file is usually reproduced from the first area. For this reason, when reproducing and processing from an intermediate area of the data file, it is necessary to search for the corresponding page in the case of a document and to fast-forward in the case of a moving image.

  Further, it is known that a time-series thumbnail image is formed and displayed from a moving image so that the moving image can be reproduced from the middle (see Patent Documents 1 to 3). In this case, when any one of the thumbnail images is designated, the moving image is reproduced from the area corresponding to the designated thumbnail image.

  In order to perform processing such as reproduction from an area in the middle of the data file, it is necessary to designate a desired area. If the data file is always reproduced from the beginning, it takes a complicated operation and a relatively long time to specify a desired area.

  In addition, when a plurality of thumbnail images are displayed to enable playback from the middle of a moving image, a display area for displaying thumbnail images that may become unnecessary after the start of playback is required. Furthermore, since processing and display for generating thumbnail images are required, power consumption and time required for data processing are increased.

  An object of the present invention is to realize a data processing apparatus and a data processing method capable of promptly starting data processing from a desired area without requiring a special display area.

  The data processing apparatus of the present invention comprises data processing means for processing a data file having identification information, and data processing control means for controlling the processing of the data file to start from a predetermined data area. In the data processing device, the area included in the displayed identification information and the data area of the data file correspond to each other, and the data processing control means selects the identification information for starting the processing of the data file. The process is started from the data area corresponding to the specified area of the identification information specified in the operation.

  In the data processing apparatus, it is preferable that a plurality of indices included in the identification information correspond to the data area, and any of the indices is designated as the designated area. In the identification information, it is preferable that an area corresponding to a predetermined data area can be specified as the specific area. The specific area corresponds to, for example, a data area for which the previous processing of the data file has been completed.

  The display area including the identification information and the data area correspond to each other, and any point in the display area is preferably designated as the designated area. Preferably, the data processing apparatus further includes a data area display means for displaying a data area display indicating the position of the data area corresponding to the designated area in all data areas of the data file. In the data area display, it is more preferable that the data area where processing is actually started can be adjusted.

  It is preferable that the data processing apparatus further includes option display means for displaying options for selecting a data file processing method when the identification information is selected.

  The identification information is, for example, the file name or title name of the data file. The identification information includes, for example, at least one of characters and symbols. In this case, for example, the symbol includes an icon. The identification information includes, for example, at least one of the length of the reproduction time of the data file, the size of the data file, the change date / time, the update date / time, and the comment attached to the data file.

  An endoscope system according to the present invention includes the above-described data processing device.

  According to the data processing method of the present invention, in order to start the processing of the data file to which the identification information is attached, the data file corresponding to the designated area of the identification information designated in the operation of selecting the displayed identification information is selected. A data area recognition process for recognizing the data area and a process start process for starting the process from the data area corresponding to the specified area are provided.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to realize a data processing apparatus and a data processing method capable of quickly starting data processing from a desired area without requiring a special display area.

It is a flowchart which shows a data processing control routine. It is a figure which illustrates the window where the data file of 4th Embodiment is displayed as a list on a monitor.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a diagram schematically illustrating an endoscope system according to the first embodiment.

  The endoscope system 10 includes a processor 20 and a personal computer 30. A scope (not shown) is attached to the processor 20. The insertion part of the scope is inserted into the body cavity in order to generate image data of the internal organs. The personal computer 30 has a personal computer main body 32 that processes data such as image data. A monitor 34, a mouse 36 and a keyboard 38 are connected to the personal computer main body 32.

  The personal computer main body 32 incorporates a CPU (not shown) that controls the entire personal computer main body 32. A data file such as image data transmitted from the processor 20 is stored in the hard disk drive (data storage means) of the personal computer main body 32.

  FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating a window in which data files stored in a folder on the hard disk drive are listed on the monitor 34. FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating a window in which a data file is reproduced, and FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating a window in which a data file different from FIG. 3 is reproduced.

  When a folder stored in the hard disk drive, such as a folder named endoscopic observation, is opened, a window 40 is displayed on the monitor 34 (see FIG. 1). In the window 40, the first to fourth data files 41 to 44 included in the endoscope observation folder are listed. The first to fourth data files 41 to 44 are a text file, a moving image file, an audio file, and a still image file, respectively.

  In the window 40, the file size 48 of each data file 41 to 44 is displayed together with the folder name 46. When scrolling the display area 50 displaying the file names and the like of the first to fourth data files 41 to 44, clicking the scroll button 52 with the mouse 36 (see FIG. 1) or dragging the scroll box 54 is performed. Used.

  In the present embodiment, a plurality of indices included in the file names (identification information) for identifying the first to fourth data files 41 to 44, that is, symbols such as alphabets, numbers, dots, and the like of each data file Corresponds to the data area. For example, when the file name “sample1.mpeg” is selected to start the processing of the second data file 42, the alphabet “s” is double-clicked, and the first in the index of all file names “sample1.mpeg” When “s” is designated, reproduction is started from the beginning of the second data file 42 (see FIG. 3).

  At this time, the moving image reproduction program is automatically started by selecting the file name “sample1.mpeg”. As described above, the data file processing in this specification includes not only data file editing and transmission, but also data file reproduction. Further, processing such as editing or transmission may be executed without reproducing the data file.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, for example, when a file name is selected by a click operation, by designating one of a plurality of indices included in the file name, the designated area in the entire index of the file name A data file can be reproduced from a data area corresponding to a position (hereinafter referred to as a designated area).

  In FIG. 3, a scroll box 58 that is movable between two scroll buttons 56 is at the left end. This is because the reproduction start position corresponding to the designated area in the entire data area of the second data file 42 is the first in the data area because the designated area in all the indexes is the first alphabet “s”. . As described above, not only the index included in the file name but also the position of the scroll box 58 corresponds to the data area of the second data file 42.

  While the window 40 is being displayed, the position at which playback is actually started in the second data file 42 can be adjusted. The reproduction start position can be adjusted by changing the position of the scroll box 58 by operating the scroll button 56 or the like. The position of the scroll box 58 can be changed regardless of whether the moving image is being reproduced. In order to play back the second data file 42, a play button 61, a stop button 62, a rewind button 63, a fast-forward button 64, etc. included in the window 40 are operated.

  In addition, in the window 40 of FIG. 2, when the alphabet “l” is specified in the file name “sample2.aiff” when the third data file 43 is selected, data in the middle of the third data file 43 is displayed. An area is defined as an editing target position (see FIG. 4). More specifically, for example, in the file name “sample2.aiff” composed of 12 indices, the alphabet “l” located at the fifth position from the left is designated, so that all the data in the third data file 43 is specified. The fourth data area from the start side out of approximately 12 equal areas is to be edited.

  Therefore, in FIG. 4, the position of the scroll box 58 is slightly to the left of the center between the two scroll buttons 56. When the file name “sample2.aiff” is selected, the voice editing program is automatically activated.

  Even when the data is a document file, the start position of the data processing is determined according to the position in the designated area in all indexes. For example, in the first data file 41 (see FIG. 2) in which 1000 lines of text are included as data and the file name “readme.txt” is formed with a total of 10 alphabets and symbols, the alphabet “a "" Is specified, the initial position for reproduction and editing is automatically set to the 200th line or the 300th line, for example, by the text editor.

  In the present embodiment, an index corresponding to a predetermined data area of the data file can be specified among the indices included in the file name. For example, in the image data obtained by endoscopic observation, if an important image that includes an affected part that needs to be treated later is located at the approximate center of the entire data area, the file name is configured. The index located at the center of all indices can be colored differently or underlined. In this case, for example, the mouse 36 or the keyboard 38 (see FIG. 1) is used.

  In this way, by distinguishing one of the indicators in the file name from the other indicators as a specific area, even if a different user handles the data, it is possible to preferentially reproduce the data from more important data. be able to. Further, the specific area in the index may correspond to the data area for which the previous processing of the data file has been completed. In this case, it can be easily determined from which position the next data processing should be continued.

  As described above, the processing of the data file starting from the predetermined data area is controlled by the CPU (control means) of the personal computer main body 32 (see FIG. 1). The calculation for processing the data file is also performed by the CPU (data processing means) of the personal computer main body 32.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, data processing can be started from a desired area by associating the position of the index included in the file name with the data area of the data file. In the operation of selecting the file name and opening the data file, the start position of the data processing is automatically determined only by specifying one of the indices, so no special equipment or operation is required and easy And data processing can be started promptly.

  Furthermore, a special display only for determining the start position of data processing, for example, a plurality of thumbnail images is not required. For this reason, even in a small electronic device such as a mobile phone, a data area for starting processing can be easily set.

  Next, the second embodiment will be described with a focus on differences from the first embodiment. FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating a window 40 in which data files of the present embodiment are listed on the monitor 34.

  In the present embodiment, a predetermined display area 66 including the file name of the data file corresponds to the data area of the data file. In the present embodiment, the width 66W of the display area 66, that is, the length from the left outline 66A to the right outline 66B of the display area 66 corresponds to the entire data area of each data file.

  When any point of the display area 66 is designated using a pointing device (not shown) or the like when selecting the first data file 41, the first data file 41 is selected according to the position of the designated point. The position on the data area where the processing of one data file 41 is started is set. For example, when the designated point is close to the right outline 66B and the distance between the left outline 66A and the designated point is about 90% of the width 66W, the first data having 1000 rows of data The initial position for processing the file 41 is automatically set to the 800th to 900th lines, for example.

  The initial position for starting the processing of the data file is calculated based on the position of the pixel including the designated point in all the pixels arranged in the horizontal direction along the width 66W. For example, the total number of pixels arranged along the width 66W is 234, the point designated in the file name “sample1.mpeg” for selecting the second data file 42, the left outline 66A, When the number of pixels along the horizontal direction between the two data files is 67, the processing of the second data file 42 is started from a position corresponding to 67/234 of the entire data area.

  The left and right contour lines 66A and 66B are displayed so that they can be visually recognized so that the processing start position on the data area can be set almost accurately. However, the display area 66 may be defined using the outline of the window 40 or the outline of the scroll bar including the scroll box 54 instead of the outlines 66A and 66B.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to determine the initial position of data file processing in more detail based on the number of pixels in the display area 66. When a file name having a large number of indices is displayed over a plurality of lines, a display area 66 having a plurality of lines may be assumed. For example, when the total number of pixels arranged along the width 66W is 345 and the file name is displayed up to the third line, the designated point is included in the 78th pixel from the left in the second line. In this case, the position corresponding to the calculation result of (345 + 78) / 345 × 3 in the entire data area may be determined as the initial position of the process.

  Next, a third embodiment will be described focusing on differences from the above-described embodiment. FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating a window 40 in which data files of the present embodiment are listed on the monitor 34. FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating a window 40 in which a slide bar is displayed.

  In this embodiment, when a file name is selected, a context menu 68 for selecting a possible processing method for the data file with the file name is displayed in the window 40. For example, when the third data file 43 is selected by right-clicking on the file name “sample2.aiff”, playback (Play) and editing (Edit) are possible processing options for the third data file 43. ) And Send (Send), and a context menu 68 including three items is displayed.

  Then, when the user clicks and selects the Play area of the context menu 68 to play back the third data file 43, a slide bar 70 and a slider 72 shown in FIG. 7 are further displayed. In the present embodiment, the length of the slide bar 70 corresponds to the entire data area of the third data file 43, and the position of the slider 72 on the slide bar 70 corresponds to the entire data area of the third data file 43. This corresponds to the initial position at which the process is started, that is, the position of the designated area.

  Therefore, as in the previous embodiments, any index is designated by the click operation when selecting the file name “sample2.aiff”, or a certain point in the display area 66 (see FIG. 5) is designated. When this happens, the designated area is calculated by the CPU of the personal computer main body 32, and the position of the slider 72 corresponding to the designated area is further calculated.

  For example, when the center of all data areas corresponds to the designated area in the file name index, as shown in FIG. 7, it takes 1 minute 20 seconds to reproduce all the data in the third data file 43. The display position of the slider 72 is adjusted so that reproduction is started from the data area at the time when half of the 40 seconds have elapsed. Also in this embodiment, the position where the processing is actually started in the entire data area can be adjusted while the slide bar 70 and the slider 72 are displayed. In this case, the position of the slider 72 illustrated in FIG. 7 is changed by a drag operation of the mouse 36 or the like. Further, for example, the initial position of the slider 72 may be determined so as to correspond to the data area in which the previous processing of the selected data file has been completed.

  Note that processing options that can be performed on the data file vary depending on the type of the data file and the type of software installed in the personal computer main body 32. For this reason, the data processing options included in the context menu 68 may be different for each data file. When transmission processing is performed, the data file is transmitted to another personal computer (none of which is not shown) via the server while being reproduced by streaming, for example.

  FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing a data processing control routine in the present embodiment. The data processing control routine starts when the window 40 is displayed on the monitor 34.

In step S104, it is determined whether or not the data file having the selected file name can be reproduced. If it is determined that the data file can be reproduced, the process proceeds to step S106. If it is determined that the data file cannot be reproduced, the process proceeds to step S108. In step S106, a process for adding playback to the items in the context menu 68 is executed, and the process proceeds to step S108.

  In step S108, it is determined whether or not the data file having the file name selected in step S102 can be edited. If it is determined that the data file can be edited, the process proceeds to step S110. If it is determined that the data file cannot be edited, the process proceeds to step S112. In step S110, a process for adding edit to the items in the context menu 68 is executed, and the process proceeds to step S112.

  In step S112, it is determined whether or not the data file having the file name selected in step S102 can be transmitted. If it is determined that the data file can be transmitted, the process proceeds to step S114. If it is determined that the data file cannot be transmitted, the process proceeds to step S116. In step S114, a process of adding transmission (Send) to the item of the context menu 68 is executed, and the process proceeds to step S116.

  In step S116, a context menu 68 (see FIG. 7) including the predetermined items determined in steps S104 to S114 is displayed on the window 40, and the process proceeds to step S118. In step S118, it is determined whether or not the mouse 36 has been clicked. If it is determined that the mouse 36 has been clicked, the process proceeds to step S120. In step S120, it is determined whether or not the click position is on the context menu 68. If it is determined that the click position is on the context menu 68, the process proceeds to step S122. If it is determined that the click position is not on the context menu 68, the process proceeds to step S124. .

  In step S122, the slide bar 70 and the slider 72 are displayed for the items in the context menu 68 clicked in step S120, and the process proceeds to step S126. On the other hand, in step S124, the context menu 68 is deleted, and the process returns to step S102.

  In step S126, it is determined whether or not the window 40 has been clicked by operating the mouse 36. If it is determined that the window 40 has been clicked, the process proceeds to step S128. In step S128, it is determined whether or not the click position is on the slide bar 70. If it is determined that the click position is on the slide bar 70, the process proceeds to step S130. If it is determined that the click position is not on the slide bar 70, the process proceeds to step S132. . In step S130, the slider 72 moves to the clicked position, and processing such as reproduction and editing is performed from the data area corresponding to the clicked position, and the process returns to step S102.

In step S134, it is determined whether or not the mouse 36 has been released and the drag operation has ended. If it is determined that the mouse 36 has been released, the process proceeds to step S130 where data processing is started and the mouse 36 has not been released. If it is determined, the process proceeds to step S136. In step S136, the position of the slider 72 is updated to correspond to the mouse drag operation, and the process returns to step S134.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, as in the previous embodiments, the start position of the data processing is easily determined when the data file is opened, and possible processing for the selected data file is performed. Easy to grasp.

  Next, a fourth embodiment will be described focusing on differences from the above-described embodiment. FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating a window 40 in which data files of this embodiment are listed on the monitor 34.

  In the present embodiment, in order to continuously reproduce data files such as music and moving images, a playlist that is listed according to the reproduction order is displayed on the window 40. For example, in the identification information of the fifth to seventh data files 75 to 77, in addition to the file name of the data file, the title name, the length of the reproduction time (length), the size of the data file, the change date and time, the update Date and time, comments attached to data files, etc. are included. In the present embodiment, the start position of data processing is determined so as to correspond to the designated area in at least one of these pieces of identification information.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the start position of data file processing is determined by designating one of various pieces of identification information or an area included in a plurality of pieces of identification information. More enhanced. For example, by identifying a plurality of pieces of identification information about the same data file, including a certain number of characters, symbols, etc., with the data area of the data file, the data processing start position can be determined. The decision can be made promptly. This is because even if many title names, file names, etc. cannot be displayed at the same time, it is sufficient to specify one of the identification information areas displayed at that time.

  The display method or the like in the window 40 for data processing is not limited to any of the above-described embodiments. For example, the index constituting the file name may include numbers, spaces, etc. in addition to characters such as alphabets and symbols such as icons. Further, the index of the file name excluding the extension may be made to correspond to the entire data area. The window 40 may be displayed on a touch panel. Moreover, you may combine the 1st-4th embodiment suitably. For example, in the identification information such as the title name in the fourth embodiment, the initial position of the data file processing may be determined based on the number of pixels as in the second embodiment.

  You may adjust suitably the correspondence of the position of the designation | designated area | region in all the indices contained in a file name, and the data area | region where a process is started. For example, if the data file is divided into several groups, for example, n groups, the first, The processing may be started from the beginning of any one of the second, third,. Further, data processing may be executed using a member other than the mouse 36 and the keyboard 38.
