FIG. 7 is a diagram showing the screen display states of the object-specific window W1 and various object-specific windows Wn displayed on the data display screen G in association with the copying / pasting process in the data processing apparatus 10.
FIG. 8 is a diagram showing a digital camera priority target-specific window W2 displayed on the data display screen G in accordance with the copying / pasting process in the data processing apparatus 10.

As shown in FIGS. 7A and 7B, the target window W1 when the digital camera is not connected is configured such that the character window wa, the image window wb, and the file window wc can be selected with tabs, and can be copied and pasted. When the range of the target data is specified, a window corresponding to the attribute of the specified target data is set and arranged on the first sheet and displayed.
As shown in FIGS. 8A and 8B, the digital camera priority object-specific window W2 is configured such that the digital camera window wp, the character window wa, and the image window wb can be selected by tabs, and is to be copied and pasted. In the state where the connection flag (16d) of the digital camera 21 is set when the range of data to be specified is specified, the digital camera priority target specific window W2 corresponds to the attribute of the target data specified by the range. If the connection flag (16d) of the digital camera 21 is set when the window is set and displayed on the first sheet and the range of data to be copied / pasted is not specified, the digital camera A digital camera priority target-specific window W2 in which the first window wp is set and arranged is displayed.

In the digital camera window wp of the digital camera priority target window W2, a “file name” button 23 for designating a list display of file names of each captured image data captured in the digital camera data capture memory 16f, all captured images An “all images” button 24 for designating the thumbnail list display is provided.
That is, for example, as shown in FIG. 7C, when the data display screen G including the document data display Ga and the image data display Gb is displayed on the display unit 22, the copy / paste processing in FIG. When it is determined that an arbitrary data range is designated on the data display screen G (range designation data 16c) (step A1), the range designation data (16c) is handled. The attribute of the data to be copied / pasted is discriminated (step A2), and it is judged whether or not the flag (16d) indicating the connection of the digital camera 21 is set (step A3).

Here, if it is determined that the connection flag is set in the digital camera connection flag memory 16d, and it is determined that the digital camera 21 is in a connected state, the digital camera priority target window W2 (see FIG. 8). Is displayed starting from the window (any one of wp, wa, wb) corresponding to the attribute of the target data determined in step A2 (step A3 → A4).
For example, when the attribute of the copy / paste target data designated for the range is document data (Ga), a digital camera priority target window W2 with the character window wa at the head is displayed and is taken in from the digital camera 21. In the case of the image data (Gb), the digital camera priority target window W2 with the digital camera window wp at the head is displayed.
Then, the target data whose range is specified on the display screen is moved and displayed on the window of the attribute displayed at the top in the digital camera priority target separate window W2 (step A6), and is also stored in the range specifying data memory 16c. In accordance with the stored range specifying data, copy / paste target data in the range specified on the display screen is extracted and stored in the corresponding data attribute holder (16e1, 16e2, or 16e4) in the target-specific window memory 16e. Saved (step A7).

On the other hand, if it is determined in step A3 that the connection flag is not set in the digital camera connection flag memory 16d, and it is determined that the digital camera 21 is not in a connected state, W1 (see FIGS. 7A and 7B) is displayed starting from the window (any of wa, wb, and wc) corresponding to the attribute of the target data determined in step A2 (step A3 → A5).
For example, if the attribute of the copy / paste target data designated for the range is document data (Ga), as shown in FIG. 7A, the window for each target when the digital camera is not connected, with the character window wa at the head, as shown in FIG. When W1 is displayed and the image data (Gb) is displayed, as shown in FIG. 7B, a digital camera non-connection target-specific window W1 with the image window wb at the head is displayed.
Then, the target data for which the range is specified on the display screen is moved and displayed on the window of the attribute displayed at the top of the target window W1 when the digital camera is not connected (step A6), and the range specified data memory In accordance with the range designation data stored in 16c, copy / paste target data in the range designated on the display screen is extracted and stored in the corresponding data attribute holder (any of 16e1 to 16e3) in the target-specific window memory 16e. Saved (step A7).

  As a result, by repeatedly performing a copy or cut instruction operation specifying an arbitrary data range on an arbitrary data display screen G, the data specified by the range is distinguished into windows corresponding to the attributes of the target data. Are moved and displayed, and are sequentially stored and stored in the corresponding data attribute holders (16e1 to 16e4) of the object-specific window memory 16e.

  On the other hand, in order to perform an arbitrary data pasting process among a plurality of data stored and saved in the object-specific window memory 16e, for example, an instruction to call the copy / pasting mode is issued in accordance with an instruction operation of an icon on the display screen. If it is determined that an arbitrary data range is not designated on the data display screen G when the copy / paste processing in FIG. 5 is started (step A1), the connection of the digital camera 21 is determined. It is determined whether or not the flag (16d) indicating is set (step A8).

Here, if it is determined that the connection flag is set in the digital camera connection flag memory 16d, and it is determined that the digital camera 21 is in a connected state, the digital camera priority target with the digital camera window wp at the top is set. Another window W2 (see FIG. 8) is displayed, and the digital camera connection window switching process in FIG. 6 is started (step A9).
That is, when the digital camera connection window switching process in FIG. 6 is started, the date data of the digital camera image captured and stored in the digital camera data capture memory 16f is read from the digital camera 21 connected by the cradle 20. Step B1), as shown in FIG. 8A, the date selection window wp1 is displayed on the digital camera window wp in the digital camera priority object specific window W2 (step B2).
In the display state of the date selection window wp1 on the digital camera window wp in the digital camera priority target window W2, the cursor K highlighted in the date selection window wp1 is moved and displayed, and a photographed image desired by the user is displayed. Is selected and designated (step B3), each image data stored in association with the designated date is read out. For example, as shown in FIG. A list of thumbnail images P1, P2,... Is displayed on the digital camera window wp in the window W2 (step B4).

Further, when it is determined that the “file name” button 23 is instructed in the display state of the date selection window wp1 on the digital camera window wp shown in FIG. 8A (step B5). Then, the file name data of the digital camera image captured and stored in the digital camera data capture memory 16f from the digital camera 21 is read (step B6), and the file name selection window (not shown) is displayed on the digital camera window wp. It is displayed (step B7).
In the display state of the file name selection window on the digital camera window wp in the digital camera priority target window W2, the cursor K highlighted in the file name selection window is moved and displayed, and the user-desired captured image is displayed. Is selected and designated (step B8), each image data stored in association with the designated file name is read out. For example, as shown in FIG. A list of thumbnail images P1, P2,... Is displayed on the digital camera window wp in the target window W2 (step B9).

Further, when it is determined that the “all image” button 24 is instructed in the display state of the date selection window wp1 on the digital camera window wp shown in FIG. 8A (step B10). Then, all the digital camera photographed images captured and stored in the digital camera data capture memory 16f from the digital camera 21 are read out, and for example, as shown in FIG. 8B, the digital camera window wp in the digital camera priority target window W2 A list is displayed as thumbnail images P1, P2,... (Step B11).
On the other hand, when it is determined that an operation instruction is given for a “date” button (not shown) displayed instead of the “file name” button 23 in the state where the file name selection window is displayed (step B12). ), Returning to the processing from step B1, the date data of the digital camera image stored in the digital camera data acquisition memory 16f is read from the digital camera 21, and the digital camera priority is given as shown in FIG. The date selection window wp1 is displayed on the digital camera window wp in the target window W2 (steps B1 and B2).

As described above, when the digital camera 21 is connected when performing affixing processing of arbitrary data among the plurality of data stored and saved in the target window memory 16e, the digital camera priority target window W2 is displayed. At the same time, according to the digital camera connection window switching process (see FIG. 6), the user's desired shooting date, file name, or all images are displayed as a list of thumbnail images P1, P2,... (Step A1 → A8 → A9).
Then, for example, in the list display state of the thumbnail images P1, P2,... On the digital camera window wp in the digital camera priority target window W2 as shown in FIG. 8B, the thumbnail image P1 displayed in the list is displayed. , P2,... Are selected and designated, and when an arbitrary pasting position on the data display screen G is designated, with respect to the pasting position on the designated data display screen G, The desired selected digital camera image data is pasted and displayed (step A11).

On the other hand, if it is determined in step A8 that the connection flag is not set in the digital camera connection flag memory 16d and it is determined that the digital camera 21 is not connected, for example, FIG. As shown, a window W1 that is not connected to the digital camera is displayed with the character window wa set as a default in this case at the top, and is moved and saved in advance with respect to the character window wa (16e1). A list of document data is displayed (step A10).
Here, when it is determined that the operation is instructed to operate the tab of the image window wb in the window W1 that is not connected to the digital camera with the character window wa at the top, for example, the image window wb is the top. When the digital camera is not connected, the target window W1 is displayed, and the image data moved and stored in advance for the image window wb (16e2) is displayed as a list (step A10).

For example, if it is determined that an operation instruction has been given to the tab of the file window wc, the window W1 for each non-connected digital camera with the file window wc at the head is displayed, and the file window wc (16e3) A list of file data that has been moved and stored in advance is displayed (step A10).
Then, for example, in the document data list display state on the document window wa in the target window W1 when the digital camera is not connected as shown in FIG. 7A, a desired one of the document data displayed in the list is displayed. When an arbitrary pasting position on the data display screen G is designated while the selected document is selected and designated, the selected desired document is selected with respect to the pasting position on the designated data display screen G. Data is pasted and displayed (step A11).

As a result, the document data (16e1), image data (16e2), and file data (16e3) stored in advance in the target-specific window memory 16e are appropriately displayed on the target-specific window W1 when the digital camera is not connected. This data can be selected and specified arbitrarily and pasted easily.
Therefore, according to the data processing system having the above configuration, when a copy or cut instruction is given by designating an arbitrary data range on the data display screen G including the document data display Ga and the image data display Gb, For example, character string data, image data, or file data, and a character window wa or an image window wb displayed on the data display screen G corresponding to the data attribute. The target data designated in the range is extracted and moved with respect to the target window W1 when the digital camera is not connected, with the file window wc at the top, and is displayed and saved. If it is determined that the digital camera 21 is connected, the target data designated by the range is extracted and moved with respect to the digital camera priority target window W2 having the digital camera window wp, and is displayed and saved.

When the pasting process is performed by selecting and specifying any of a plurality of data stored and saved by the data attribute in the target window memory 16e, the windows wa, wb, and wc by the data attribute to be pasted are displayed. The data can be selected and specified from the list data of the desired data displayed in the window and can be easily pasted. If the digital camera 21 is connected, the image is taken on the digital camera window wp. Image data can be displayed in a list by selecting a date and file name, and can be easily pasted by selecting and specifying arbitrary photographed image data.
For this reason, even if the number of data to be copied / cut from various display data to be stored and stored increases, the data is moved to the windows wa, wb, wc, and wp which are distinguished according to the attribute of the target data. The data can be stored and saved, and the desired data to be pasted can be easily selected from the data attribute-specific window and can be easily pasted on arbitrary display data.
