FIG. 5 is a block diagram showing an essential part of the present invention.

As described above, the image scanner main body 33 reads an image at a linear density of 8 lines / mm, converts the read data into binary data, and stores it in the image raw data storage area 23a of the RAM 23.

By the way, the display portion of the LCD 2 is composed of 1300 dots × 200 dots, and its display density is 0.36 mm / pitch.

Therefore, when the image data read by the image scanner 33 is displayed on the LCD 2 as it is, the image data is displayed as enlarged by about 3 times, and the entire business card cannot be displayed on the display portion of the LCD 2 of 310 dots × 200 dots. Can not. Therefore, normally, the data is thinned to 1/3 and displayed.

Therefore, the image raw data storage area 2
The data from 3a is thinned to 1/3 by the 1/3 reduction circuit, and the data is selected by the selection circuit 21c of the RAM 23.
It is stored in the storage area 23b of the RAM 23 via.

The / 3 compression circuit 4b and the selection circuit 21c are configured by the internal processing of the CPU 21.

Next, the operation of the image data management apparatus according to the present invention will be described with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIG.

FIG. 6 is a flow chart showing the processing of the overall operation of the control unit of the image management apparatus. When the power switch 5 is pressed (step S1), the switch-on processing operation of the subroutine is performed (step S2).

In the switch-on processing operation, an operation such as checking the keyword data in the main body RAM 23 is performed according to the flow chart shown in FIG. When this operation is completed, normal processing routines such as image data search, new registration, auxiliary system, etc. are performed (step S
3). Each routine of this normal processing will be described later.

When this processing routine processes and the power switch 5 is turned off (step 4), a switch-off processing operation for storing the keyword data in the keyword floppy is performed, and the operation is terminated.

The above is the overall operation, but each operation will be further described below with reference to a flowchart.

In the image data management device according to the present invention, management of image data, that is, a business card (card) is performed by a keyword or the like. The keywords and the like are stored in a keyword floppy disk, and when the image data management device is used, the image data management device main body 1 is read by the keyword floppy disk.
Is written in the data area of the internal RAM 23, each keyword or the like is registered from the data area when the image data is read, and a search by this keyword is performed at the time of search.

The image data management device body 1 is equipped with a memory backup battery,
The data written in the internal RAM 23 is retained by the battery for memory buffer up even if the power switch 5 is turned off.

Therefore, when the power switch 5 is pressed to operate the image data management device, if the keyword previously read from the keyword floppy is written in the internal RAM 23, the normal operation is performed using the keyword as it is. You can However, internal RAM23
There is a case where the keyword or the like is not read, or even if it is read, a part of the data is destroyed due to the relationship with the backup power supply. In such a case, the device cannot be used as it is.

Therefore, in this device, whether or not the keyword needs to be read is confirmed by a switch-on process.

The switch-on process will be described with reference to FIG.

First, when the power switch 5 is pressed to enter the switch-on processing routine, in step S10, the keyword data written in the main body RAM is checked by, for example, a parity check. As a result, it is determined whether or not even one abnormal data, that is, the keyword data is destroyed, and whether or not any keyword data is written (step S11). If there is no abnormal data or keyword data, the step is performed. Proceed to S12.

In step S12, it is determined whether or not the keyword floppy (KF) is attached to the floppy disk drive 4. Then, if the KF is not installed, the CPU 1 displays on the LCD 2 the information instructing the KF attachment "Please set the keyword floppy" (step S13).

When the KF is mounted, the keyword data written in the KF is stored in a predetermined area of the RAM 23. At this time, the CPU 1 causes the LCD 2 to display "Keyword is being read from floppy" (step S14).

On the other hand, when it is determined in step S11 that there is no abnormal data, that is, the predetermined keyword is written in the RAM 23, the normal operation can be directly started, so that the rewrite flag is set to "0" in step S15. ", And proceeds to the normal processing routine. This rewriting flag becomes "1" when the keyword is rewritten in the program working memory in the RAM 23.

Next, the normal processing operation routine is entered. When the normal processing operation routine is entered, first, in this apparatus, the normal processing is roughly divided into a search processing for searching stored image data, a new business card image data input, and a new keyword registration. It has an auxiliary processing function that performs auxiliary processing such as registration processing, floppy initialization, copying, and floppy usage.

FIG. 8 is a flow chart showing the overall flow of the normal processing routine.

When the normal processing operation is started, the CPU 1 causes the LCD
2 above, as shown in FIG. 9, "search", "new registration",
The three processes of "auxiliary" are displayed (step S20).

Then, when the user presses on the LCD 2 for displaying the desired processing, the touch panel 3 on the lower surface of the LCD 2 is pressed and each function is selected (step S21). That is, when the search portion of the LCD 2 is pressed, the search processing is performed, when the new registration portion is pressed, the new registration processing is performed, and when the auxiliary processing portion is pressed, the auxiliary processing is performed.

When each processing is completed, the switch-off processing is started.

First, the case where the auxiliary processing portion is pressed to select the auxiliary processing will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

When the auxiliary process is selected, step S30
In, the CPU 1 displays an auxiliary menu on the LCD 2 as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 11, the auxiliary menu includes four groups H10, H11, H12,
Each group is selected by pressing the area indicating this group. That is, in step S31, the process waits until a predetermined key (touch key) on the touch panel 3 is pressed, and when the touch key is pressed,
In step S32, it is determined whether or not the key is the menu key. If the key is the menu key, the process proceeds to the normal process flow A shown in FIG. 8, and the menu screen shown in FIG.
Displayed on D2.

If the key is not a menu key but another key, a display corresponding to each group is displayed in step S33.

Display of data change, item deletion, batch deletion group, addition, replacement, movement, one-sheet deletion group, initialization, registration, copying, usage amount group, and the like are displayed.

Here, the contents of each process will be briefly described. The group of data change, item deletion, and batch deletion performs the process for one registered data item. When the change is selected, the contents of the item are changed, when the item deletion is selected, the contents of the item are returned to a blank sheet, and when the collective deletion is selected, the operation including the card is deleted.

The groups of addition, replacement, movement, and deletion of one card each perform processing for registered cards, and when addition is selected, processing for additionally registering a new card and replacement are selected. Then, a process of replacing with a new card, a process of moving to another floppy when selecting move, and a process of deleting the card when selecting one delete are performed.

Further, the groups of initialization, registration, copy, and usage amount perform processing for one floppy respectively, and if initialization is selected among them, the floppy is initialized and registration is selected. , A process of renaming or renaming, a process of copying all contents to a storage diskette, and a process of displaying a used amount of each floppy when a used amount is selected.

Among the above auxiliary operations, the initialization process, the registration process, and the usage amount process will be described in more detail.

The initialization process will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

When the H12 area of FIG. 11 showing the group of initialization, registration, copy and usage of the LCD 2 is pressed, the LCD
At 2, the initialization, registration, copying, and display of the used amount are performed. Then, the initialization process is started by pressing the initialization part. When the initialization process is started, the LCD 2 displays a message to the effect that the floppy is initialized in step S41. In step S42, the touch panel O

43), in the case of the menu key, the normal operation flow A of FIG. 8, that is, the LCD 2 becomes the menu display screen shown in FIG.

Then, in step S44, the operation waits until the touch key of the OK key portion is pressed, and when the OK key is pressed, it is determined in step S45 whether or not the floppy is attached to the floppy disk drive device 4. If the floppy is attached, the process proceeds to step S46 to perform the floppy formatting and
The LCD 2 displays that initialization is in progress.

When the initialization is completed, the state of registration processing is entered.

The registration process will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

This registration processing is processing for newly registering, changing or confirming the diskette name for identifying the diskette.

Here, new registration is a process in which the diskette name is not displayed, change is a process in which the displayed diskette name is rewritten, and confirmation is displayed in the LCD 2 when the diskette name is registered. It is a process to do.

Further, in the case of a new diskette, the initialization process of the floppy disk is followed by a new registration process.

When the registration process is started, step S51
At, it is determined whether or not the floppy is attached, and if it is attached, the routine proceeds to step 52. In step S52, the floppy name registration screen is displayed on the LCD 2. As this display, the display showing that it is a floppy name registration, the floppy name, the date, the menu,

In step S53, the process waits for any key input. Then, for example, when the key input of the floppy name is made, in step S54, the
As shown in (a), the floppy name input screen is displayed on the LCD 2. The floppy name input screen is a kana input screen. By touching the area corresponding to the floppy name from this screen, the floppy name input processing is performed (step S55).

Further, when the key input of the date is made, in step S56, as shown in FIG.
The alphanumeric input screen is displayed in 2. By touching the area corresponding to the date from among these, the date input processing is performed (step S57).

Next, when the OK key is pressed, it is confirmed in step S58 whether or not the floppy name is double-registered. If the double-registered name is registered, an alarm message is displayed. (Step S59), Step S5
Return to 2. If there is no double registration, the process proceeds to step S60, the entered floppy name and the date entered on the floppy name input screen are written in the floppy, and the process returns to the normal process. That is, returning to the normal processing flow A of FIG. 8, the menu screen of FIG. 9 is displayed on the LCD 2.

On the other hand, when the menu key is input,
Similar to the above, the process returns to A in the normal processing flow of FIG.

Next, the usage amount processing will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

The usage amount process is a process of displaying the number of registered cases and the number of remaining registrable cases for each diskette. The total of the indexes is calculated by the index data of the RAM 23 of the main body.

When the processing of the usage amount is started, step S7
At 0, as shown in FIG. 16, based on the keyword data in the main body RAM 23, the number of registered cases and the used amount for each data floppy are displayed on the LCD 2. At this time, the tablet key directly above the floppy name display corresponds to each floppy name, and will be referred to as a floppy name key below.

In the present invention, the card is read,
When writing the data to the floppy, enter a keyword. Therefore, the number of registered cases can be calculated by looking at the data of the main body RAM 23 in which this keyword is stored. In addition, since the amount of information read from the card can be estimated, the approximate usage amount of the floppy can be calculated.

Then, in step S71, the process waits until the floppy name key or the menu key is input. When the key is input, it is determined whether or not the key is the menu key. Return to the normal processing A of 8. If it is not the menu key, step S7
In step S73, it is determined whether the key is the floppy name key. If the key is not the floppy name key, the process returns to step S71. If the key is the floppy name key, the process proceeds to step S74.

In step S74, as shown in FIG. 17, a list of data stored in the data floppy corresponding to the inputted floppy name key is displayed, and shown in B of FIG. 24 of the retrieval processing flow described later. Go to processing flow.
