Abstract

PURPOSE:To simplify an operation for recording an image and to prevent the incapability in retrieving the image from occurring by making input and photographing with a bar code synchronize with the input of the identification information of the image and starting recording the image in a storing medium. CONSTITUTION:An microfilm camera 104 and a CPU 101 have constitution where two-way communication can be possible and a bar code reader 1 scans the bar code 10. The CPU 101 receives the slip number expressed with the bar code and records it in a disk 103. For example, when a photographing instruction is transmitted to the microfilm camera 104 after one second, the slip 2 placed on a photographing position is photographed and the image frame address of the microfilm is transmitted to the CPU 101 at the same time. The frame address is recorded in the disk 103 corresponding to the slip number and retrieval information is recorded. Thus, the information can be inputted with a simple operation and the retrieval information can be surely formed.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Application in Industry] The present invention relates to a method for recording images on a searchable recording medium.

[Prior art] Information recording and retrieval using conventional microfilm,
An example will be explained in which a slip is recorded on microfilm and searched from the microfilm. In FIG. 1, a slip 105 to be recorded is recorded by a microfilm camera 1.
Photographed by 04. At this time, the slip number is manually entered from the keyboard 102 and recorded on the disk 103 under the control of the CPU 101. At the same time, the address of the image frame just taken on the roll film (for example, the number of frames from the beginning) is entered manually from the keyboard 102, and is recorded on the disk 103 by the CPU 101.

After performing the above-described series of operations for one slip for multiple slips, the contents of the disk 103 are recorded with slip numbers and frame addresses in one-to-one correspondence, as shown in FIG. It becomes. In this state, the roll film 106 and the disc 103 are stored. When performing a search, enter the slip number from the keyboard 102 as shown in FIG.
The frame address is extracted from the contents of 03 (FIG. 12) and displayed on the display 107.

The operator displays the desired frame of the slip by weaving this and causing the search machine 108 loaded with the roll film 16 to set and search for the address. Furthermore, the following method has also been conventionally used.

That is, a bill number or the like is provided on the subject using a bar code, and the above information is input using a bar code reader, which is a manual means of the cPU, at the time of photographing.

This will be explained using FIGS. 14 and 15.

As shown in FIG. 15, the slip number is printed on the slip 2 with a bar code 10, and the
Scan the barcode 1o using the barcode reader 1, which is a manual means of PU 101, and read the slip number to CPU10.
Manpower I. Next, operate the photographing switch 3 of the microfilm camera 104 and transfer the slip to the microfilm 106.
Take a photo.

After photographing, the microfilm camera 104 transmits the current image frame address to the CPU10I.

The CPU converts the above barcode information and image frame address into 1
They are recorded on the disk 103 in a one-to-one correspondence. By repeating this operation, the disk 10 shown in FIG.
3 can be created without manual operation from the keyboard.

[The problem that the invention is trying to solve, however,
In the conventional system, the operation of manually inputting information using a barcode reader and the operation of photographing an image of the slip on microfilm using a photographic switch are independent, making the operation complicated, and it is also possible to forget to enter the barcode when photographing. There was a possibility that the search would become impossible.

[Means and effects for solving the problem] The present invention synchronizes the human power and photographing using the bar code with the human power of the image identification information, and starts recording the image on the storage medium. This simplifies the operation for recording images, and also prevents images from becoming unsearchable.

[Embodiments] Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a microfilm recording device. The recording operation of the slip image is performed by the cptzot program, and a flowchart of the program is shown in FIG. Microfilm camera 104 and CPU
Reference numeral 101 is a configuration capable of bidirectional communication. The operator scans the barcode 10 of the slip number shown in FIG. 15 with the barcode reader 1 (step l).

When the cpu t o t receives the slip number represented by the barcode, it records the slip number on the disk 103 (Step 2), for example, after one second, the microfilm camera 10
4 (Steps 3 and 4). In response to this, the microfilm camera 104 starts photographing the slip 2 placed at the photographing position, and at the same time transmits the image frame address of the microfilm to the CPLIIOI (step 5).

The image frame address is determined by counting the number of frames with a frame counter provided in the microfilm camera. The frame address is then recorded on the disk 103 in correspondence with the slip number (step 6). Therefore,
The search information shown in FIG. 12 is recorded in the disk 103.

In this embodiment, the photographing switch is automated, resulting in labor savings. Furthermore, if the barcode is not input, the document will not be photographed, which eliminates the possibility that search information will not be created.

Next, another example will be shown.

As shown in FIG. 9, for example, a slip type barcode 11 or 12 (
This is common among the bundle of slips) and the slip number barcode 10 (this is the serial number within the bundle of slips) are printed. Use this form when creating slips.

When photographing this, the above-mentioned barcode reader reads both the type barcode and the number barcode, and the search information shown in FIG. 10 is recorded on the disk 103.

Therefore, when searching, it is possible to know the frame address from an index such as 5679J of the order receipt.

In order to record and search such information, it is necessary (in this embodiment) to input two barcodes without fail when photographing one image. FIG. 4 shows a control operation when recording an image by performing such an operation.

In FIG. 3, the operator uses the keyboard 100 to enter the number N of bar food inputs required for one image frame in advance.
(Step 11). Then, set the counter n, which indicates the number of times the barcode has been manually input, to O (step 12), and from then on, record the barcode data to the disk every time a barcode is input (steps 13 and 14).
, n are incremented by 1 (step 15). Then, after 1 second when the barcode has been input N times, a photographing command is output to the microfilm camera (Step 18), and when the frame address is received from the microfilm camera,
The frame address is recorded on the disk 103 in correspondence with the input barcode data.

As a result, even if multiple barcodes require manual labor, it is possible to do so reliably.

Still other embodiments will be described.

In FIG. 5, the barcode reader 1 serves as a manual means for the microfilm camera 104. When the operator scans the barcode 10 using the barcode reader 1 (step 21 in FIG. 6), the barcode information is sent to the CPU.
10I (step 22). Next, when the operator operates the photographing switch 3 (step 23)
Shooting is performed (step 24), and the frame address is set to cpu
tot (step 25). At this time, even if the operator forgets to use the barcode manually and operates the photographing set switch 3, the process does not proceed from step 21 to step 22, and no photographing is performed. The above control is executed by a program of a microcomputer (not shown) inside the microfilm camera. The CPU also records barcode information and frame addresses on the disk 103.

This embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that there is no waiting time, so even if the bar code is manually taken, the photographing is performed by operating the photographing switch, so there is no need to artificially increase the work speed. This also eliminates the possibility of forgetting to input the barcode.

Further, other embodiments will be described.

This embodiment is a combination of the second embodiment and the third embodiment, in which the number N of barcode inputs is set in advance from the operation unit 20 shown in FIG. 7 (step 31), Set the counter n to 0 (Step 32), and read the barcode data every time there is a barcode input.
to transmit to the PU (step 34), and increment n by 1 (step 35). When the barcode is input N times, step 36) monitors whether the photographing switch 3 is pressed.Step 37) takes a photograph when the photographing switch is pressed (step 38), and sends the frame address to the CPU (step 37). 39). In other words, the photographing switch 3 does not function unless the barcode is input N times. The above control operations are executed by a microcomputer inside the microfilm camera 104. Further, the CPU records the barcode information and the core address in correspondence with each other on the disk 103.

In this example, even if you have just input the barcode N times, by operating Jffil 3 switch 3, you can
Since the closest shadow can be achieved, the work speed can be artificially increased, and N pieces of barcode information can be reliably recorded.

[Effects of the Invention] As shown above, according to the present invention, when recording an image on a recording medium, the input of the image identification information and the operation of recording the image on the recording medium are made to be cooperative operations, thereby making it easy to record the image on the recording medium. Information can now be operated manually, and search information can be created reliably.
