Abstract

PURPOSE:To easily retrieve tentative storage of an original having been sought once through the preceding retrieval by placing a marking onto the original with a simple operation of selecting a label pattern. CONSTITUTION:Original information is retrieved from a database 14 through a command from a keyboard of an input display device 18. Based on the information, an original is read from an optical disk device 15 and displayed on a display device of the input display device 18. When a label is added to the displayed original as a tentative mark, it is commanded by the keyboard of the input display device 18. A pattern display input control section 11 selects one of plural patterns though this command to stick the label using the pattern as a mark. Thus, the required original sought through the retrieval is easily retrieved from the tentative storage.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a search method for an electronic filing system, and more particularly to a search method for an electronic filing system that searches a temporary memory for a document once searched.

0002

2. Description of the Related Art A search method of a conventional electronic filing system is called a bookmark search, and character data of a bookmark search key is added to the searched document in addition to the search key.

0003

[Problem to be solved by the invention] The search method of the conventional electronic filing system described above assigns character data as a bookmark search key and performs a permanent simple search. When using a computer, character data must be entered from a keyboard, making it difficult to use for users who are not familiar with computers and only want to perform searches. ing.

0004

[Means for Solving the Problems] The search method of the electronic filing system of the present invention is such that the user searches for and finds a document that is temporarily needed by visually displaying the document on the screen. By selecting a sticky pattern and adding a mark, the user can easily search using the mark later.

[0005]

Embodiments Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the search method of the electronic filing system of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, 10 is an electronic filing device, 11 is a screen display input control section, 12 is a database control section, 13 is an optical disk file control section, 14 is a database for the electronic filing system, and 15 is an optical disk device. , 16 is a sticky note control unit, 17 is a sticky file, and 18 is an input display device.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of a sticky note attached to a paper document.

[0009] The sticky note search is a function that corresponds to the sticky note attached to a paper document shown in FIG. 2 and can be used in an electronic filing system.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of the relationship between the sticky note file 17 of FIG. 1 and the database 14. Also, Figure 4
2 is a diagram showing an example of a sticky display screen displayed on the screen of the input display device 18 in FIG. 1. FIG.

In this embodiment, the database 14 is searched for document information in response to instructions from the keyboard of the input display device 18, and based on the information, the optical disk device 15
The original is read out from the input display device 18 and displayed on the display of the input display device 18. When attaching a sticky note as a temporary mark to the displayed document, in response to an instruction from the keyboard of the input display device 18, the screen display input control unit 11 displays the sticky note selection screen 41 of FIG. By selecting one of the patterns, a sticky note with that pattern as a mark can be pasted.

[0012] Next, when searching for a document using a sticky note, when receiving an instruction to display a sticky note from the keyboard of the input display device 18, the screen display input control section 11 displays a sticky selection screen 41 and selects a sticky pattern. Then, the sticky note control unit 16 extracts the sticky record 34 from the sticky file 17 by referring to the color or pattern data symbol 31, extracts the database index number 32 and the manuscript page 33 in the database index, and uses it to , the database control unit 12 controls the index 35 of the database 14.
The optical disk file control unit 13 reads the document from the optical disk device 15 and displays it on the screen of the input display device 18 . The displayed screen, like the display screen 42 of a document holding a sticky note, simultaneously displays the color or pattern of the sticky note in addition to the document and the processing menu.

[0013]

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, the search method of the electronic filing system of the present invention is such that the search method of the electronic filing system of the present invention is such that the document can be searched once and found by marking the document with the simple operation of selecting a sticky pattern. This has the effect that the temporary memory of the manuscript can be easily searched.
