Also, the set value of the image data index 1101 is displayed in the order of 1 to 8 as the page number 440. Here, the reduced image 430 is displayed with line breaks every five pages.

  Here, when the reduced image 430 is moved by a user operation, the page editing unit 130 inserts the corresponding image data index 1101 at the moved position.

  For example, as shown in the transition from FIG. 4 to FIG. 5, when the reduced image 430 of the eighth page is moved between the reduced image images 430 of the second page and the third page, it is shown in FIG. As described above, the image data index 1101 of the eighth page is moved between the second page and the third page.

  Here, when the new page editing area creation button 464 is clicked, the page editing unit 130 displays a new page editing screen 400 and stores the corresponding file index 1201 in the file index table 1200. Further, when the page editing screen 400 is created, the page editing unit 130 stores the corresponding file index 1201 in the file index table 1200 in the order in which the page editing screen 400 is created. Here, it is assumed that the reduced image 430 is not displayed on the newly displayed page editing screen 400. That is, the image data index table 1100 corresponding to the file index 1201 is not generated. Of course, an empty image data index table 1100 may be generated.

  For example, as shown in the transition from FIG. 5 to FIG. 6, when the new page editing area creation button 464 on the page editing screen 400a is clicked, the page editing screen 400b is displayed. Further, as shown in the transition from FIG. 8B to FIG. 9C, the file index 1201 corresponding to the page edit screen 400b is added to the file index table 1200.

  Here, when a user operation for copying the reduced image 430 is performed between the page editing screens 400, the page editing unit 130 first includes a file index 1201 corresponding to the page editing screen 400 of the copy source, and a copy destination. The file index 1201 corresponding to the page edit screen 400 is specified. Then, the image data index 1101 corresponding to the copy target reduced image 430 is copied from the copy source image data index table 1100 to the copy destination image data index table 1100. If the copy destination image data index table 1100 has not been generated, it is newly generated and associated with the file index 1201.

  For example, as shown in the transition from FIG. 6 to FIG. 7, the reduced images 430 from the fourth page to the seventh page displayed in the page editing area 410 of the page editing screen 400a are selected, and the page editing screen 400b When copied to the page editing area 410, as shown in the transition from FIG. 9C to FIG. 9D, from the fourth page to the seventh page from the image data index table 1100 corresponding to the page editing screen 400a. Image data index 1101 is selected and copied to the image data index table 1100 corresponding to the generated page editing screen 400b.

  In this state, it is determined that the first group of image data (file 1) includes image data 1001 corresponding to the first to eighth image data indexes 1101 (see FIG. 9C). ). That is, the file 1 is determined to be composed of image data (1, 2, 8, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7). Further, it is determined that the second group of image data (file 2) includes image data 1001 corresponding to the first to fourth image data indexes 1101 (see FIG. 9D). That is, the file 2 is determined to be composed of image data (4, 5, 6, 7).

  As described above, the page editing unit 130 can receive a user operation and display the page editing screen 400 of a new file from the page editing screen 400 of the file selected by the user. Also, image data can be copied or moved between the page editing screens 400 of the respective files. Various settings such as page editing can be received on the page editing screen 400 of each file.

  Of course, the configuration and operation method of the page editing screen 400 are not limited to the above. For example, when the reduced image 430 is copied or moved on another page editing screen 400, the page number may be renumbered so that the page number 440 starts from one page. When the new page editing area creation button 464 is clicked, the reduced image 430 of the page editing screen 400 that has received the click may be copied and displayed in advance on the page editing screen 400 of the new file. That is, when a click is accepted, an image data index table 1100 corresponding to a new file is generated.

  Returning to FIG. 2, after receiving various settings on the page editing screen 400, the page editing unit 130 accepts the click of the OK button 465, confirms the setting contents, and the page on which the OK button 465 is clicked. For the file corresponding to the editing screen 400, the document file generation unit 140 is requested to generate a document file.

  Specifically, the page editing unit 130 first specifies the file index 1201 corresponding to the page editing screen 400 on which the OK button 465 is clicked from the file index table 1200. Then, the image data index table 1100 corresponding to the specified file index 1201 is specified. Then, the document file generation unit 140 is requested to generate a document file for the group of image data 1001 corresponding to the image data index 1101 on the image data index table 1100.

  For example, when the OK button 465 of the page editing screen 400a is clicked in the state shown in FIGS. 7 and 9, the page editing unit 130 displays the first group (1, 2, 8, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7), the document file generation unit 140 generates a document file. On the other hand, when the OK button 465 on the page editing screen 400b is clicked, the page editing unit 130 generates a document file in the document file generating unit 140 for the second group (4, 5, 6, 7) of the image data. Let

  Returning to FIG. 2, the document file generation unit 140 reads the corresponding image data 1001 from the image data table 1000 for the group of image data designated by the page editing unit 130, and generates predetermined file data. The predetermined file data is, for example, document data such as PDF. Of course, it is not limited to PDF, and various image file formats may be used. Then, the document file generated for each group is output to the storage unit 150.

  The storage unit 150 is used to store the various tables, image data, document files, and the like described above. The storage unit 130 is constructed by, for example, the RAM 11 and the auxiliary storage device 13.

  FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing a flow of processing for generating a plurality of document files from one document. This flow is started after the scan processing of the original by the scan control unit 120 and the scanner 2 is completed.

  When this flow is started, the page editing unit 130 displays the page editing screen 400 according to the contents of the image data index table 1100 and the image data table 1000 via the setting reception unit 110 (S100).

  Then, the page editing unit 130 receives a user operation on the page editing screen 400 via the setting reception unit 110 and receives various settings (S110). For example, the page editing unit 130 receives a click on the new page editing area creation button 464 on the page editing screen 400 selected by the user, and displays the page editing screen 400 for a new file. In addition, image data is copied or moved between displayed page editing screens 400 by a user operation. Also, various settings such as page rearrangement and deletion are accepted on each displayed page editing screen 400.

  Further, the page editing unit 130 determines whether there is a group for which page editing has been completed (S120). Specifically, the page editing unit 130 determines whether or not the OK button 465 on the page editing screen 400 has been clicked via the setting reception unit 110. If it is determined that the OK button 465 has been clicked (YES in S120), it is determined that page editing has been completed for the group (file) of the image data corresponding to the clicked page editing screen 400, and the process proceeds to S130. On the other hand, if it is determined that the OK button 465 has not been clicked (NO in S120), the process returns to S110 and continuously accepts various settings related to page editing.

  If it is determined that there is a group for which page editing has been completed (YES in S120), the page editing unit 130 requests the document file generation unit 140 to generate a document file for the group for which page editing has been completed (S130). Specifically, the image data index table 1100 corresponding to the file index 1201 of the group for which page editing has been completed is specified. Then, the document file generation unit 140 is instructed to generate a document file for the group of image data 1001 corresponding to the image data index 1101.

  Upon receiving the document file generation instruction, the document file generation unit 140 reads out the specified group of image data 1001 from the image data table 1000 and generates a document file (S140).

  Note that the page editing unit 130 may issue an instruction to generate a document file to the document file generating unit 140 in units of a plurality of groups for which page editing has been completed. In this case, every time an instruction is received, the document file generation unit 140 sequentially generates document files for a plurality of designated groups.

  When the document file generation for the specified group (S130) is completed (S140), the page editing unit 130 determines whether page editing for all groups is completed (S150). Specifically, it is determined whether there is a page editing screen 400 in which the OK button 465 is not clicked. If it is determined that the OK button 465 has been clicked for all the page editing screens 400 (YES in S150), this flow is terminated as the pages of all groups have been completed. On the other hand, if it is determined that there is a page editing screen 400 in which the OK button 465 has not been clicked (NO in S150), the process returns to S110.

  The embodiment of the present invention has been described above. According to the present embodiment, an electronic file of a plurality of documents can be easily generated from the read document.

  That is, when the user clicks the image data of each page of the scanned document displayed on the user interface screen, a new user interface screen is displayed. Then, image data is moved or copied between user interface screens by the user's drag and drop operation, and the contents of a plurality of document files are determined. In addition, on each user interface screen, pages are rearranged or deleted by user operation, and the contents of the document file are determined.

  Thus, the user can freely edit the contents of a plurality of documents to be created while the document is read before the document file is generated. When document files are generated, each document file has contents determined by the user. Therefore, the user does not need to perform an operation of copying the generated document file or opening it with a predetermined application in order to create a plurality of document files.

  In addition, in order to create a plurality of document files, the user does not need to insert a partition sheet or arrange the documents in advance between the documents. Further, even when the order of the originals to be read is wrong, it is not necessary to execute scanning again in the correct order or to edit a document file generated in the wrong order.

  Further, the user can intuitively perform a page editing operation while looking at the user interface screen generated for each file. In addition to operations for generating multiple documents, operations such as page position replacement, rotation, and deletion can be performed on the same user interface screen, and multiple document files can be edited together. it can.

  Also, it is not necessary to duplicate a document file in order to create a plurality of documents. As a result, unnecessary image data is not copied in the end, and the memory usage of the electronic file generation device can be reduced.

  If the present invention is used, for example, when a document is scanned, it is divided into a confidential document file and a non-confidential document and then output as a separate file, or divided into documents for each secret level and then as a separate file. Can be output.
