Abstract

PURPOSE:To cope with the case of the generation of a necessity for changing a key according to the change of a management system or the like by additionally registering a new keyword to previously registered image data by inputting the new keyword from a keyboard. CONSTITUTION:At the time of the change of the management system, a key stored in a first key file 25 is transmitted to a seal impression document image register 1 and displayed by an image data display part 22. Then, an another key inputted to a keyboard 13 after assigned to the above mentioned key, is accepted by an another key assigning part 23, and stored in a second key file 26. The key assigning state at that time is stored in a management file 27. Thus, the retrieval of the image data can be attained by using both the key stored in the first key file 25, and the key stored in the second key file 26.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method of managing document image data in an electronic computer system for registering image data of a document and retrieving the same, and more particularly to a method of managing document image data including a seal stamp image.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional management method of document image data including a seal stamp image in a computer system for registering image data of a document and searching for the document image data is such that when registering the document image data, In this system, one or more keywords (keys) for the search are registered and registered together, and thereafter, no new key is allocated.

[0003]

In the conventional management method of document image data as described above, it is necessary to assign a key for retrieval at the time of registration of the document image data, and therefore the management method thereafter. However, there is a drawback in that it is not possible to deal with the case where it is necessary to change the key due to the change.

[0004]

According to the document image data management method of the present invention, when the image data of a document is registered, a keyword for searching the image data is registered at the same time so that the management method can be changed. When it becomes necessary to add another keyword to the image data that has already been registered, the new keyword is input from the keyboard to additionally register, and both the first registered keyword and the additionally registered keyword The image data can be searched by.

That is, the document image data management system of the present invention is a seal stamp document image registration apparatus having an image input section for reading image data from a document and a keyboard for inputting a keyword, and the seal stamp document image registration apparatus. The storage device for storing the image data read by the device, and the control device connected between the seal stamp document image registration device and the storage device for controlling the registration of the image data and the search by the keyword. The device
With respect to the image data stored in the storage device and a first key file that stores a keyword used to search the image data when the image data is received from the seal document image registration device. When assigning a keyword different from the keyword stored in the first key file, the second key file stores the different keyword input from the seal stamp document image registration device.

[0006]

Embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, a seal stamp document image registration apparatus 1 for reading image data including a seal stamp image of a document, and a storage apparatus 3 for storing and registering the image data read by the seal stamp document image registration apparatus 1 with a keyword. And a control device 2 that is connected between the seal stamp document image registration device 1 and the storage device 3 and that controls registration of image data and search by the keyword thereof.

The seal document image registration device 1 is
It has an image input unit 11 for reading image data from a document, a keyboard 13 for inputting another keyword when the management system is changed, and a display device 12 for displaying input information.

The control device 2 receives the image data from the seal stamp document image registration device 1 and the image data registered by storing the image data received by the image data input part 21 in the storage device 3. The registration unit 24, the first key file 25 for storing keywords used by the image data registration unit 24 for searching the image data stored in the storage device 3, and the image data already registered in the storage device 3 When assigning another keyword to the first key file 25, the keyword stored in the first key file 25 is displayed on the seal document image registration device 1, and the other keyword sent from the keyboard 13 is accepted. Another key allocation unit 23 to send to the second key file 26 And a management file 27 for managing the allocation state of the key of the first key file 25 and the second key file 26.

The document image data management device configured as described above operates as follows. That is, when registering the image data, the image data input unit 21 receives the image data and the key thereof from the seal document image registration device 1, and the image data registration unit 24 stores the image data in the storage device 3. Registration is performed by storing the key in the first key file 25.

When there is a change in the management method including the name identification process, the image data display unit 22 sends the key stored in the first key file 25 to the seal stamp document image registration apparatus 1 to display it, and to see it. Another key assigned to the keyboard 13 and input to the keyboard 13 is assigned to another key assignment unit 2
3, and stores it in the second key file 26. The key allocation state at this time is stored in the management file 27.

By performing the above processing, when the image data is searched, the search is performed using both the key stored in the first key file 25 and the key stored in the second key file 26. It becomes possible. The first key file 25 and the second key file 26
Is not limited to one, but may be plural.

[0014]

As described above, according to the document image data management method of the present invention, when image data is registered, a keyword for searching the image data is also registered at the same time, and the management method is changed. When it becomes necessary to add a keyword to the image data that has already been registered by, you can enter a new keyword from the keyboard so that it can be additionally registered, and the key can be changed by changing the management method. Even if it is necessary to do so, it is possible to deal with the situation.
