Abstract

PURPOSE:To shorten time for registration by segmenting picture data, which are stored in a picture memory, in a prescribed size and recording these segmented picture data. CONSTITUTION:When the picture data are once stored in a picture memory 2, a controller 1 displays the picture data in an A4 size, for example, in the right page of a book stored in the right halt of the picture memory 2 on one of the two windows of a display device 5 and next displays the picture data in the A4 size in the left page of the book stored in the left half of the picture memory 2 on the other window of the display device 5. Afterwards, when the inputted pictures are normal, an operator requests the record of the pictures from an input device 8. When the picture recording request is issued, the controller 1 records the right half of the picture memory 2 to a picture storage 4 as the picture in the A4 size and records the left half of the picture memory 2 to the picture storage 4 as the picture in the A4 size. Thus, the number of times for scanning is decreased and the time for registration can be widely shortened.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Object of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to an information processing device that processes image information in an image information storage and retrieval device that records and searches image information.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, in an image information storage and retrieval device, an image input device (
Image data read by a scanner) is stored in a star image memory, and then recorded on an optical disk as one page of a document along with search information and image control information.

That is, image data read in one scan (one-process input) of the image input device is registered as one page of the document.

(Problem to be Solved by the Invention) Conventionally, for example, when you want to register a book or the like in an image information storage and retrieval device, you open the book in a two-page spread format and scan the page one by one while moving the scanner from the right page to the left page. Since the registration has to be done page by page, the registration operation is difficult, and since one scanning time of the scanner is long, it takes time to register one page.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, the present invention aims to eliminate the above-mentioned problems, and provides an information processing device that facilitates operations when registering books, etc., and that can significantly shorten the registration time. It is aimed at winter.

[Structure of the Invention] (Means for Solving the Problems) In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides an image input means for inputting an image button, and an image memory for storing image data input by the image input means. and a control means that can cut out the image data stored in the image memory in a predetermined size, and an image storage means that records the image data cut out by the control means. It is.

(Function) According to the above-mentioned means, the present invention inputs image data of a plurality of pages as one large image data in one scan and stores it in an image memory when inputting from an image input device.

When displaying and recording in the image storage device, large image data stored in the image memory is divided into predetermined sizes and displayed and registered as multiple pages.

With this method, it is possible to display and register multiple pages with one scan of the image input device.

(Example) FIG. 1 is a conceptual diagram of an image information storage and retrieval device.

In FIG. 1, an image memory 2 stores image data. The image storage device 4 is loaded with an optical disk, which is a medium for storing image information, and performs writing and reading. The magnetic disk device 3 stores management information such as search information. The display device 5 is a graphic for manipulating image information.

Display characters, etc. The input device 8 is used by an operator to enter command data into the control device 1 using keys. An image input device (scanner) 6 inputs image data. The image printing device 7 outputs image data. The control device 1 controls each of the above devices.

FIGS. 2 and 3 are conceptual diagrams and flowcharts for explaining the operation of an embodiment of the present invention, and the embodiment will be explained with reference to these.

In this embodiment, an A4-sized book 9 is placed in a two-page spread state, and two A4-sized pages can be registered (recorded) in one scan of the image input device 6 (one-process input).

First, in order to register two pages in one scan of the image input device 6, the operator opens a property sheet and sets the continuous page mode. Next, since the A4 size is 2 pages, the read original size setting of the image input device 9 is set to A3. The operator sets the book in a two-page spread state and sets it on the image input device 6, and then presses an image registration key from the input device 8. The control device 1 secures memory for an A3 size image from the image memory 2 and issues a request to the image input device 6 to input an A3 size image.

Image data input from the image input device 6 is stored in the secured image memory 2 as A3 size. Once the image data is stored in the image memory 2, the control device 1
A4 size image data of the right page of a book stored in the right half of the image memory 2 is displayed on one of the two windows of the display device 5. Similarly, the control device 1 transfers the A4 size image data of the left page of the book stored in the left half of the image memory 2 to the other page on the two windows of the display device 5.
to be displayed. Next, the operator checks whether the input image is normal, and if it is not normal, instructs the input device 8 to input the same image again. If normal, an image recording request is made from the input device 8.

When an image recording request is issued, the control device 1 stores the right half of the image memory 2 as an A4 size image in the image storage device 4.
to be recorded. Similarly, the left half of the image memory 2 is recorded as an A4 size image in the image storage device 4, and the secured image memory 2 is released.

If there are still pages to be registered, the operator resets the book and repeats the registration. If there are no more pages to register, the user presses the job end key from the input device 8 to end the registration.

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, according to the present invention, one of the image input devices
Since it is possible to display and register multiple pages in one scan, the number of scans is reduced and the registration time is significantly shortened.Also, when registering books, etc., the left and right pages can be registered without moving the book, making registration operations easy. An information processing device can be provided.
