BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an electronic filing device for registering image data on an optical disk or magnetic disk.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Electronic filing for registering image information in a storage device such as an optical disk or a magnetic disk is usually performed by a computer connected to the above storage device.
Therefore, for example, when filing image data read by an image reader or the like in the above-described storage device, information on a record area in which the image data is stored in an electronic file, information such as the property name, date, and classification of the stored image data A management file that manages is required. However, this management file is provided separately from the user master file for the application program used when the user causes the computer to perform the core business. It is considered that this is functionally different from the core business of a computer that uses an application program and the electronic filing process that a computer performs to file image data read by an image reader or the like in a storage device. Is.

Therefore, in the conventional master file of the user, a record area for storing each information for the image information is included in the master file in case the processing of the image information is required in the core business, and the computer is used as an application. If filing of image data to the storage device occurs while executing the program, a new record area is created in the management file for electronic filing, and file information such as the property name and classification corresponding to the image data is created. Is memorized.

[0004]

As described above, since a user master file for an application and a management file for electronic filing have been conventionally provided, even if the same image data is registered, the user can When creating a master file, create a record area that stores information such as property name and classification of image data, and then register the same information in the image data management file even if the same image data is being executed during the execution of the application program. The operator's work was enormous and took a long time.

An object of the present invention is to make it possible to easily perform registration processing even when registering image data information in both a user master file and a management file.

[0006]

The means of the present invention are as follows. A business process information storage means (see the functional block diagram of FIG. 1, the same applies hereinafter) 1 stores information necessary for executing an application program required for business process using an electronic computer.

The information item storage means 2 is an item of information necessary for filing processing of image data in the business processing information stored in the business processing information storage means 1, for example, an information name,
Items such as information codes are stored.

The control means 3 inputs a predetermined key code, for example, by a key operation of an operator, reads out the processing information corresponding to the input key code from the processing information in the work processing information storage means 1, and reads the above information. The data of the corresponding item in the processing information is output according to the item stored in the item storage unit 2.

The image data information storage means 4 stores the information output from the control means 3.

[0010]

The operation of the means of the present invention is as follows. Information necessary for business processing is stored in the business processing information storage means 1 in advance, information necessary for processing image data is also stored therein, and image data is filed in the information item storage means 2. Items of information necessary for processing are stored in advance. In this state, for example, when the operator inputs a predetermined key code to the control means 3, the control means 3 reads the processing information corresponding to the input key code from the business processing information storage means 1, and the information items from the read information. The item information of the storage means 2 is stored in the image data information storage means 4
Output to.

Therefore, when the image data information necessary for filing the image data is stored in the image data information storage means 4, the operator does not need to input the necessary information by operating the keyboard or the like, but simply the predetermined information. It can be done by a simple operation of entering a key code.

Under the control of, the key operation signal input from the keyboard unit 16, the above-mentioned application program, various image registration data, and the like are displayed. The keyboard unit 16 is composed of various keys such as function keys and numeric keys, and when the information of image data is registered in the master file in the external storage device 13 or when the information is read from the user master file, the various keys described above are used. It is something to operate. The keyboard section 16 is of course also used when creating a program or inputting data. The key operation signal input from the keyboard unit 16 is output to the CPU 10 via the key input control unit 17. The image reader 18 is a device that reads image data such as characters and figures with a line sensor, and the image data read by the image reader 18 is read by the image reading control unit 1.
It is stored in the image data storage area in the external storage device 13 under the control of the CPU 10 via 9. The printer 20 is a dot type liquid crystal printer, for example, and is an external storage device 13.
The printer controller 21 prints the above-mentioned image data and application programs, user master files, management files for filing the image data stored in the external storage device 13, and the like on the paper.

In the system including the electronic file having the above-mentioned configuration, the external storage device 13 stores various data (files) such as the application program, the image data, the user master file and the management file as described above. In particular, FIG. 3 shows the structure of the user master file. The user master file is composed of a large number of record areas, and each record area stores various information necessary for executing the application program. Then, for example, the information regarding the image data shown in the figure is written therein. This record area is provided with a plurality of field (item) areas. For example, the field f ₂ is an area in which the property name of the image data stored in the external storage device 13 is stored,
Field f ₁ is an area where the property code is stored, field f ₃ is an area where the classification data of the corresponding property is stored, and field f ₄ is the date when the data corresponding to this record was stored in the file. Is memorized.

In addition to the above areas, an area for storing image data information necessary for executing the application program is provided in the field f _{5 and} thereafter.
The writing of information into the fields f ₁ ~f ₅ like in a record area, for example, when creating the application program by operating the various keys of the keyboard section 16, or the necessary data after creating is written.

The operation of the electronic filing apparatus having the above structure will be described below. First, CPU1
When the power of the system is turned on, 0 indicates IP as described above.
Initial setting processing is performed according to the program in the LROM 12, and processing operation is performed according to the application program.

During this processing, if there is a registration request of image data for writing the image data read by the image reader 18 into the external storage device 13, the CPU 10 executes the data registration processing according to the flowchart shown in FIG.

In this process, first, the user master file in the external storage device 13 is opened according to the table information corresponding to FIG. 4 read in the main storage unit 11 (step S1). This processing is executed by an open command output from the CPU 10 when the CPU shifts to the data registration processing in the electronic file. This process, data for each record area corresponding to a field f ₁ ~f ₄ shown in the table in the user master file is opened.

Next, the operator operates the keyboard 16 to input the key code data corresponding to the image data desired to be registered in the external storage device 13 into the CPU 10 (S).
2). As described above, this key code is also field value data that stores the property code in the record area.
The CPU 10 searches the storage area of the field f ₁ of the user master file in the open state and CPs the data in the record area having the corresponding key code (object code).
Read to U10 (S3).

Next, the CPU 10 outputs the read property code data to the display control unit 15 and displays the property code on the CRT display 16. The operator confirms this display, and if correct, operates the corresponding key of the keyboard section 16 to inform the CPU 10 of the confirmation (S
5 is Y). If the displayed data is incorrect (S
5 is N), the process returns to the process (S2) and the key code is input again.

If the property code read to the CRT display 14 is correct, the CPU 10 reads data such as property name from the corresponding field of the user master file according to the information in the table and registers it in the management file of the external storage device 13 (S6). ). FIG. 6 is a diagram schematically showing this processing. That is, the property code is first read from the field f ₂ of the corresponding record area in the user master file designated by the key code data input from the key code section 16 and used as the information name data, and then from the field f ₄ to the date data. Read the property code from the field f ₁ , and finally read the classification data from the field f ₃ to create registration data.
Write to the management file.

By performing the processing as described above, it is possible to write the information of the desired image data in the management file only by inputting the key code. After that, the image data read from the image reader 20 is written in the corresponding area of the external storage device 13 according to the data of the above-mentioned management file.

After the above processing, the user master file opened in the above processing (S1) is closed and the registration processing of the record information in the electronic file device is completed (S).
7). As described above, according to the present embodiment, when writing the necessary information in the management file, the operator simply checks the CRT display 14 and inputs the key code to display the image in the management file in the external storage device 13. You can write the property code, property name, classification, and date data related to the data.

In the present embodiment, the key code entered by the operator is the same as the property code, but other information, such as the property name, may be entered, or a special key code is provided and this key code is used. You may create a table that includes it.

[0026]

According to the present invention, since the operator can create the management file by simply inputting the key code, the operator is not overloaded as in the conventional case.

Also, since it is not necessary to input a large amount of information into the management file by key operation as in the conventional case, information input mistakes are eliminated.
