[Operation of form processing device]
Next, the operation of the form processing apparatus 10 will be described.
The form processing apparatus 10 of the present embodiment can execute an image insertion process for inserting (pasting and inputting) image data into the electronic form screen D1 when registering business data on the electronic form screen D1. is there.
Also, the form processing apparatus 10 according to the present embodiment, when a certain item is specified as a collective search condition of an image for a plurality of electronic form screens D1, the specified electronic form screen D1 is not specified. The image data inserted in the input area assigned to the selected item is selected from the images stored in the storage unit 15 based on the area information, and information indicating the selected image is displayed in a list.

Hereinafter, the specific control of the image insertion processing on the electronic form screen D1 in the form processing apparatus 10 will be described.
As the image insertion process, a captured image insertion process of inserting captured image data and a handwritten image insertion process of inserting handwritten image data can be executed.
Here, as shown in FIG. 6, the captured image G1 is inserted into the “supplementary” column of the first product information in the product information area D12 by the captured image insertion process.
As shown in FIG. 6, a handwritten image G2 including handwritten information (handwritten map) J1 is inserted into the remark information area D13 by the handwritten image insertion process.

(Imported image insertion processing)
FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing the captured image insertion processing. Such processing is realized by software processing in cooperation with the CPU 11 and the captured image insertion program 131 stored in the ROM 13.

  First, the CPU 11 selects an area into which image data is to be inserted according to a user operation (step S11). Here, as shown in FIG. 6, a partial area R1 of the "supplementary" column of the first product information in the product information area D12 on the electronic form screen D1 is selected as an area into which image data is to be inserted. The region R1 is defined as “region: (190, 40, 220, 50)” which is a part of “region: (180, 40, 230, 50)” in the “supplement” column of the first product information. .

  Next, the CPU 11 selects image data to be inserted from the image data stored in the captured image storage unit 153 of the storage unit 15 according to the operation of the user (step S12).

Next, the CPU 11 obtains the maximum value of the already used “ID” from the image data information table 152 of the storage unit 15 (step S13), and newly adds “+1” to the obtained maximum value. The ID is issued as an “ID” (step S14).
For example, when the image data information is not stored in the image data information table 152, the maximum value of “ID” is “0000”, and thus “ID” newly added is “0001”.

Next, the CPU 11 records the information of the image data selected in step S12 in the image data information table 152 using the issued “ID” (step S15), and ends the processing.
Here, it is assumed that the first record in FIG. 5 has been recorded. That is, since the page of the electronic form screen D1 into which the image data is to be inserted is “1”, “page: 1” is stored. The image data to be inserted is the captured image data stored in the captured image storage unit 153 in advance, and is stored as “image type: file”. Also, “file path: C: \ Data \ Watch.bmp” is stored as the file path of the image data to be inserted. Further, “region: (190, 40, 220, 50)” is stored as the region R1 into which the image data is inserted.

(Handwriting image insertion processing)
FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing the handwritten image insertion processing. This processing is realized by software processing in cooperation with the CPU 11 and the handwritten image insertion program 132 stored in the ROM 13.

  First, predetermined information (handwritten information) is input to the electronic form screen D1 by hand by a user's operation (step S21). Here, as shown in FIG. 6, it is assumed that a handwritten map is input as handwritten information J1 in the remarks information area D13 on the electronic form screen D1.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 9, the CPU 11 records the input handwritten information J1 in a bitmap of the same size as the electronic form screen D1, makes it a handwritten image G2, and displays it over the electronic form screen D1 (step). S22). Note that the handwritten image G2 is stored in the handwritten image storage unit 154.

Next, when an area on the electronic form screen D1 where handwritten image data is to be inserted is specified by the user's operation (step S23), the CPU 11 displays the area specified on the electronic form screen D1 in the electronic form screen D1. It recognizes that the area is where the handwritten image data is inserted, and sets the designated area as an insertion area where the handwritten image data is inserted (step S24).
Note that a configuration in which the CPU 11 automatically specifies the area in step S23 may be used. That is, a rectangular area surrounding the handwritten information J1 input to the electronic form screen D1 in step S21 may be obtained and used.
Here, as shown in FIG. 6, it is assumed that a partial region R2 of the remarks information region D13 on the electronic form screen D1 has been designated as an insertion region. The region R2 is defined by “region: (40, 80, 130, 100)” which is a part of “region: (10, 80, 230, 100)” of the remarks information region D13.

Next, a name to be set in the specified area is input by a user operation, and a name is set in the specified area based on the input name (step S25).
Here, text data “map” is input by a user operation as a name set in the area, and the name “map” is set as the name of the area in which the handwritten image data is inserted.

Next, the CPU 11 obtains the maximum value of the “ID” already used from the image data information table 152 of the storage unit 15 (step S26), and newly adds a value obtained by adding “+1” to the obtained maximum value. Issued as an “ID” (step S27).
For example, when one piece of image data information is stored in the image data information table 152, the maximum value of “ID” is “0001”, and thus the newly added “ID” is “0002”.

Next, the CPU 11 records the information of the handwritten image data in the image data information table 152 using the issued “ID” (step S28), and ends the processing.
Here, it is assumed that the second record in FIG. 5 has been recorded. That is, since the page of the electronic form screen D1 into which the image data is to be inserted is “1”, “page: 1” is stored. The image data to be inserted is handwritten image data, and is stored as “image type: handwritten”. Further, the storage destination of the handwritten image data is stored as a file path as “file path: D: \ Data \ Chizu.bmp”. Further, the area R2 designated for the remarks information area D13 of the electronic form screen D1 is stored as “area: (40, 80, 130, 100)” as an insertion area in which the handwritten image data is inserted.

As described above, the CPU 11 functions as a storage control unit by executing the captured image insertion program 131 or the handwritten image insertion program 132.
The CPU 11 functions as a setting unit by executing the handwritten image insertion program 132.

In the captured image insertion processing, the image data insertion area on the electronic form screen D1 can be recorded in association with the image data to be inserted.
Further, in the handwritten image insertion processing, an insertion area can be set for the handwritten image data, and the insertion area of the handwritten image data on the electronic form screen D1 can be recorded in association with the handwritten image data to be inserted.

Next, the specific control of the image search processing for the electronic form screen D1 in the form processing apparatus 10 will be described.
Here, a case where an image is searched for by specifying an item name and a detailed product name as search conditions will be described as an example.

(Image search processing)
FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing the image search process. Such processing is realized by software processing in cooperation with the CPU 11 and the image search program 133 stored in the ROM 13.

  First, a search condition is designated by a user operation (step S101). Here, "clock" is specified as a search condition as a detailed product name in "item name: product name".

  Next, the CPU 11 acquires the unacquired page information 151A of the electronic form information table 151 (step S102), and determines whether or not there is page information (acquired) (step S103).

If there is no page information (step S103: NO), the CPU 11 displays a list of images of the search result (step S104), and ends this processing.
On the other hand, if there is page information (step S103: YES), the CPU 11 acquires the item information 151B from the page information address (step S105), and determines whether there is unacquired item detailed information 151C from the item information address. Is determined (step S106).

If there is no unacquired item detailed information 151C (step S106: NO), the CPU 11 returns to step S102 and repeats the subsequent processing.
On the other hand, when there is unacquired item detailed information 151C (step S106: YES), the CPU 11 acquires “item name” and “item value” from the unacquired item detailed information 151C (step S107).

  Next, the CPU 11 determines whether or not it matches the search condition (step S108). Here, the CPU 11 determines whether the “item name” matches the “product name” and the “item value” matches the “clock”.

If it is determined that the search condition does not match (step S108: NO), the CPU 11 returns to step S106 and repeats the subsequent processing.
On the other hand, if it is determined that the search condition is matched (step S108: YES), the CPU 11 acquires an “area” from the item detailed information 151C (step S109).

  Next, the CPU 11 acquires unacquired image data information from the image data information table 152 (step S110).

Next, the CPU 11 determines whether image data information is present (acquired) (step S111). If there is no image data information (step S111: NO), the CPU 11 returns to step S106 and repeats the subsequent processing. .
On the other hand, if there is image data information (step S111: YES), the CPU 11 determines whether the “item type” of the item detail information 151C is page data (step S112).

If the “item type” is page data (step S112: YES), the CPU 11 determines whether there is a portion where the “region” of the item detail information 151C and the “region” of the image data information overlap. If there is an overlapping part (step S113) (step S113: YES), “ID” of the image data information is stored in the search result (step S114).
On the other hand, if there is no overlapping part (step S113: NO), the CPU 11 returns to step S110 and repeats the subsequent processing.

When the “item type” is not page data (that is, when the “item type” is detailed data) (step S112: NO), the CPU 11 refers to the value of “area” of the item detailed information 151C, and It is determined whether there is a portion where the “area” of the image data information overlaps with all the item detailed information having the same value (step S115). For example, when the area of the item detailed information 3 shown in FIG. 4 is acquired, the determination is made on the areas of the item detailed information 4, 5, 6, and 7. Therefore, it is determined that the area of the item detailed information 7 shown in FIG. 4 and the “area” of the image data information have an overlapping portion.
That is, in step S115, the CPU 11 stores the area surrounded by the upper and lower ends of the designated input item on the electronic form screen D1 and the left and right ends of the area for displaying the detailed data, and the image data information. It is determined whether or not the insertion region at least partially overlaps.

  If there is an overlapping portion (step S115: YES), the CPU 11 proceeds to step S114, and if there is no overlapping portion (step S115: NO), the CPU 11 proceeds to step S110.

  As described above, the CPU 11 functions as a search unit by executing the image search program 133.

Note that, in the above description, a case where an image is searched using “item name” and detailed “product name” as search conditions has been exemplified. However, search conditions other than these can be specified.
For example, when searching for an image using only “item name” as a search condition, and specifically specifying “item name: remarks” as a search condition, in step S101, such a search condition In step S108, the CPU 11 determines whether the “item name” matches the “remarks”. Otherwise, the same processing as the processing described with reference to FIG. 10 is performed.

Here, FIGS. 11A, 11B, and 11C show that the item to be searched is “item name: product name”, and that the product name input to the item is “clock” in the search condition (first item). 11 is a list display example of information indicating images selected (searched) as a result of performing an image search process designated as (1 search condition).
Here, since the image data is searched using the item name and the product name input to the item as search conditions, a list of information indicating an image of the specified product (here, a clock) is displayed.
FIG. 11A is an example in which the names of the selected images are displayed as a list as information indicating the selected images. More specifically, “clock A”, “clock B”, and “clock C”, which are the names of the images, are displayed in a list.
FIG. 11B is an example in which a list of thumbnail images (reduced images) corresponding to the selected image is displayed as information indicating the selected image. Specifically, a list of thumbnail images of “Clock A”, “Clock B”, and “Clock C” is displayed.
FIG. 11C shows an example in which the selected images are displayed as a list as original information (not reduced images) as information indicating the selected images. Specifically, images of “clock A”, “clock B”, and “clock C” are displayed in a list.

FIGS. 11D, 11E, and 11F show the results of image search processing in which the item to be searched is set as “item name: remarks” as a search condition (second search condition). 11 is a list display example of information indicating searched (retrieved) images.
Here, since the image data is searched using the search condition "item name: remarks" as a search condition, a list of information indicating the image inserted in the specified item name (here, remarks) is displayed. Is done.
FIG. 11D shows an example in which the names of the images are displayed as a list as information indicating the selected images. Specifically, "handwritten map 1" and "handwritten map 2", which are the names of the images, are displayed in a list.
FIG. 11E shows an example in which thumbnail images corresponding to images are displayed as a list as information indicating the selected images. Specifically, thumbnail images of “handwritten map 1” and “handwritten map 2” are displayed in a list.
FIG. 11F shows an example in which the selected images are displayed as a list as original information (not reduced images) as information indicating the selected images. Specifically, images of “handwritten map 1” and “handwritten map 2” are displayed in a list.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, the CPU 11 of the form processing apparatus 10 controls the electronic form screen D1 in which an input area for inputting predetermined information corresponding to each predetermined item is assigned. Is displayed, and when an image is pasted and input as information in the input area, the area information where the image is pasted and input is stored in the storage unit 15 in association with the image, and a plurality of electronic form screens D1 are targeted. When an item is specified as a batch search condition for the specified image, the image pasted and input into the input area assigned to the specified item is stored in the storage unit for the plurality of electronic form screens D1 based on the area information. The user selects from the images stored in 15 and displays a list of information indicating the selected images.
Therefore, it is possible to easily search for an image pasted and input on the electronic form screen D1.

Also, according to the present embodiment, CPU 11 of form processing device 10 displays a list of image names as information indicating the selected image.
For this reason, the names of the images selected as a result of the search can be checked at once.

Further, according to the present embodiment, CPU 11 of form processing device 10 displays a list of thumbnail images corresponding to images as information indicating the selected image.
For this reason, the images selected as a result of the search can be collectively confirmed by the thumbnail images.

Further, according to the present embodiment, CPU 11 of form processing device 10 causes display unit 14 to display electronic form screen D1 having predetermined items, and inserts (pastes and inputs) image data in electronic form screen D1. And an insertion area where the image data is inserted in the electronic form screen D1 is stored in the storage unit 15 in association with each other, and an area range of an area corresponding to an item in the electronic form screen D1 specified as a search condition, An insertion area related to the specified item is derived based on whether or not the area range of the insertion area stored in 15 overlaps, and image data inserted into the derived insertion area is searched.
For this reason, when a predetermined item on the electronic form screen D1 is searched as a search condition, image data related to the area of the item can be detected.
