Abstract

PURPOSE:To speed up processing by setting up the display status of retrieval for image data to the same display status as the preceding one. CONSTITUTION:An image attribute and a display attribute are added to retrieved image data and stored in an image data storing part 6. At the time of retrieving image data, the display attribute is referred to and displayed on an image display part 1. If the display status is changed by a keyboard 2 at the time of displaying the display attribute, the attribute is updated and learned in accordance with the display status. Thereby the up-to-date display status can be instantaneously set up.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to an image display control system.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In an information processing apparatus, when displaying image data to be searched, it is stored in an image memory and displayed by an image display unit. The displayed image data may be retrieved and displayed again. At this time, the display image data is temporarily stored in the image data storage unit. Then, when a search display request is made again, the image data is read from the image data storage unit and displayed.

In this case, the information stored in the image data storage unit is, in addition to the image data, only the image attributes relating to this image data (attributes such as compression method, linear density, output range designation, etc.). Therefore, in displaying the image data for the second time, it is necessary to optimize the image display by performing a local operation (operations such as enlargement, reduction, scrolling, and rotation), which is a problem in terms of speed of image retrieval. There is.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Therefore, the present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks of the conventional ones, and an object of the present invention is to provide an image display control system capable of rapidly searching and displaying image data. To provide.

[0005]

According to the present invention, an image data storage unit for storing image data to be displayed, its image attribute and its image display attribute, and the image data storage unit in response to a search and display instruction of the image data. Image data in the unit, including an image processing control unit for display control according to the image display attribute, when the display state of the image data is changed by an external command, this display state as a new image display attribute, There is provided an image display control method characterized in that the image display attribute in the image data storage unit is controlled to be updated.

[0006]

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

FIG. 1 is a system block diagram of an embodiment of the present invention. The image display unit 1 is for displaying image data, and the keyboard 2 is an operation unit for instructing search display of image data and change of display attributes.

The image memory 3 is a storage unit for temporarily storing image data to be displayed and supplying it to the image display unit 1. The image processing control unit controls each unit according to various instruction operations from the keyboard 2. It is a thing.

The image input section 5 supplies the image data to be searched to the image processing control section 4, and the image data storage section 6 temporarily stores the image data input from the image input section 5 and its attribute information. This is a storage unit.

The storage data format of the image data storage unit 6 is shown in FIG. Image data 1
2, the image attribute 11 of the image data, and the display attribute 12 are stored as a set.

In this structure, when the target image data is input from the image input unit 5, the image processing control unit 4 transfers the input image data to the image memory 3 and also stores it in the image storage unit 6. It

As shown in FIG. 2, the image storage section 6 has areas for storing the image data 13, the image attribute 11 and the display attribute 12, respectively. At this time, the display attributes at the time of inputting the image data are designated as the initial values in the display attributes 12 in the format of FIG.

When this image data is displayed after storing the image data, a display designation is given from the keyboard 2, and the image data, the image attributes and the display attributes stored in the image data storage unit 6 are changed to the image processing control unit 4. Read by. The display attribute of this image is referred to and the image display unit 1 is accessed through the image memory 3.
Will be displayed.

Next, in this display state, local operations such as enlargement, reduction, scrolling, and rotation are performed from the keyboard 2, whereby the display is set to a state desired by the searcher. In response to a search end instruction from the keyboard 2, the set display state is
It is updated as the display attribute of the format of FIG. 2 and stored again in the image data storage unit 6.

Therefore, the image data can be displayed at the time of the next search in the display state set last time.

[0016]

As described above, according to the present invention, the initial display state of the image is added to the image data and stored, and at the time of the search, the additional display attribute is referred to and the image data is displayed. When there is a change, this is learned, so that there is an effect that the image can be displayed in the same display state as in the previous search at the time of image search, and the image search can be speeded up.
