Further, according to the present invention, the document registration processing section for distinguishing whether the input data is being created or completed in the CPU 1 and the recognition section for recognizing the registered content and the search section for retrieving the data based on the content. Is incorporated.

FIG. 2 is a flow chart showing the operation of the present invention. The processing for saving a document in a file (document registration) in order to automate the calling of a document in the process of being created from the file after the power is turned on will be described. ing.

FIG. 3 shows an example of the registration processing screen of the present invention.

FIG. 6 shows an example of the document recognition data of the present invention. With the file to be registered set, the document registration function is selected from the document creation screen (step 1). Next, in step S2, after the processing required for registration is performed on the display screen shown in FIG. 4 as the registration processing screen, the user is instructed whether or not the document to be registered is being created in step S3. The screen after the above instruction is shown in the registration processing screen of FIG. If YES is input in step S3, FIG.
Document recognition data shown in
(The type of saved file and the registered name of the document are entered.)
Should be saved regardless of whether the power is on or off.

Next, in step S5, the document is saved in a file. If NO in step S3, the recognition data unnecessary when the document registration process is performed once before the document creation is completed in step S6 or when the automatic document is called and the document in the process of being created is called and completed. Is erased (in FIG. 6, recognition data indicating that there is no document in the process of being created) is set, and then the process proceeds to step S5.

FIG. 4 is a flow chart showing the operation of the present invention. Automatic document calling at the time of power-on after performing the above processing at the time of document registration will be described based on this figure.

After the power is turned on and after the initialization of the entire system is completed, it is confirmed in step S7 whether or not there is a document in the process of being created in the recognition data stored in the system. If it can be confirmed that there is a document being created, the process proceeds to step S8, and if not, the process proceeds to step S14 to enter the initial screen state. In step S8, check what kind of file you are saving,
It is confirmed whether the file confirmed in step S9 is set in the system. If the file is set, the process proceeds to S11, and if not, the process proceeds to step S10 and the user is informed that the file is not set, and the file is set. In step S11, it is searched whether the registered name of the document in the recognition data exists in the file, and it is determined in step S12 whether or not the registered name exists. If there is no registered name being searched for, the process moves to step S10 and the user is asked to change the file. If there is also,
The document retrieved in step S14 is called.
