Abstract

PURPOSE:To realize an easy operation by transmitting altogether plural electronic filing data constituted of both image data and code data stored temporarily on an outside storing medium on an input system to an image storing system. CONSTITUTION:An image inputting part 2 writes in plural imaged object documents piled up in an automatic document inputting device 1. Then, an image outputting part 3 outputs successively image data to an image storing file 5, and at the same time outputs the start position data of each page on the image storing file 5 by a page unit to on a storage position managing file 4. Then, the code data is applied either to each image displayed on a display 7, or to a document unit after plural pages are put together as one document. Afterwards, they are altogether transferred to an image storing system 11. Thus, an efficient image inputting processing is realized.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Application Field] The present invention stores a large amount of image data in bulk on a large capacity storage medium such as an optical disk, and stores a corresponding image using code data assigned to each image data. This invention relates to a data transfer method for an electronic filing system for searching data.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, in an electronic filing system in which an image input system and an image storage system are connected through a line such as a LAN, a method for transferring data from the image input system to the image storage system is - - or multiple sheets. A document consisting of image data and the code data attached to it were transferred once every time the code data was attached.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] The data transfer method of the conventional electronic filing system described above reduces the work by repeatedly assigning code data to each input document and then transmitting it to the image storage system. This method is complicated and requires time for transmission from the image input system to the image storage system each time, so there is a disadvantage that it places a burden on the operator.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention provides an external storage medium that temporarily stores images input from an automatic document input device, a display that displays image data on the external storage medium on a screen, and
An image data input system consisting of a keyboard that adds food data that matches the displayed content; and an image data input system that receives the image data and code data transmitted over a line from the image data input system and transfers the data to a magnetic disk or optical disk. In an image input method for an electronic filing system comprising an image storage system that stores images on a capacitive external storage medium, an electronic filing system comprising image data and code data temporarily stored on an external storage medium on the image data input system. This system is characterized by transmitting a plurality of pieces of data at once to an image storage system.

[Example code] Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is an automatic document input device 1 that inputs a plurality of image documents.
an image input section 2 such as a scanner that inputs image data from the automatic document input device 1; an image output section 3 that outputs the image input by the image input section 2 to a temporary file on a disk; A storage location management file 4 that manages the storage location of the image output by the output unit 3 on the disk, an image storage file 5 that stores the image output by the image output unit 3, and an image storage file 5 that stores the image output by the image output unit 3. An image display section 6 for displaying images on the display, a display 7 for displaying images and inputting codes for the displayed images, a code input section 8 for inputting codes input from the display 7, and a code input section 8 for inputting codes input from the display 7. A code output section 9 that outputs codes to a storage location management file, an image transfer section 10 that transfers images and code information all at once to an image storage system, and an image storage system that stores images sent by the image transfer section 10. 1
1.

The image input section 2 reads a plurality of documents to be imaged loaded on the automatic document input device 1 and passes them to the image output section 3. At this time, the page separation information of the input image is also transferred from the image input section 2 to the image output section 3.
passed to. The image output unit 3 sequentially outputs image data to the image storage file 5, and at the same time outputs the start position data of each page on the image storage file 5 on a page basis to the storage position management file 4.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of the definition of a table that associates the image body, its position on the disk, and code information. At this time, the image output unit 3 sets a technology number field and a disk address field. The above operations are continued until the input processing of all documents stored in the automatic document input device 1 is completed. When the automatic document input device 1 completes document input, the image output unit 3 outputs the storage location management file 4. Each image storage file 5 is closed and control is passed to the image display section 6. The image display section θ reads the storage location management file 4 to find the disk address on the image storage file 5 of page 1, takes out the image corresponding to page 1 of the image storage file 5 pointed to by that address, and displays it on the display 7. At the same time as the display, the code data enters a waiting state for input from the display 7. Code data is added to each image displayed on the display 7, or a plurality of pages are combined into one document, and food data is added to each document. The input code data is received by the code input section 8, and the code output section 9 sets it in the code data field shown in FIG. 2 in the storage location management file 4. In the case of code data for page number 1, it will be set in the code data field of the record corresponding to page number 1.

When combining multiple consecutive pages into a document and assigning code data to each document, set it in the record in the storage location management file 4 for the first page that makes up the document, and then set it in the record in the storage location management file 4 for the first page that makes up the document, and The code data field of the record related to the page to be viewed may be left blank. From the work of the image display unit 6 to the code output unit 9 for all records of the storage location management file 4
operations are performed repeatedly. When the above operations are completed, the image transfer unit 10 sequentially reads out the information in the storage location management file 4 and the image storage file 5, and transmits it to the image storage system 11 via a line such as a LAN. The information to be transmitted is image data on the image storage file 5 and code data set for each page or document on the storage location management file. When the work of the image transfer section 10 is completed, control is again passed to the image input section 2 and execution of image input is resumed.

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, the present invention allows the image input system to assign codes to a plurality of image documents that are input at once using an automatic document input device, and then - and transfer it to the image storage system.
The present invention has the advantage that it can be used in an electronic filing system consisting of a system that combines efficient image input processing using an automatic document input device.
