PURPOSE:To utilize image data at another computer by providing a data base for retrieval use and a retrieval system definition for defining the structure and deciding the form of a manmachine interface. CONSTITUTION:A user is provided with the definition of a retrieval system from a magneto-optical disk cartridge 4 of a magneto-optical disk device 3. Then, the man-machine interface corresponding to the retrieval system is displayed on a CRT 5. With this processing, the different retrieval system is provided for each magneto-optical disk cartridge 4. Next, in the case of registration processing, a registration name is inputted from the user, the name is written in the data base for retrieval of the magneto-optical disk cartridge 4, and image data are written. In the case of read processing, the read name is retrieved from the data base for retrieval, and the image data are read from the magneto- optical disk cartridge 4 and displayed on the CRT 5.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an electronic filing system equipped with an optical disk device and an electronic computer for image processing.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing a conventional electronic filing system. In the figure, 1 is an electronic computer capable of image processing (hereinafter simply referred to as a computer), 2 is a computer 1
The fixed magnetic disk device 5 for storing the program and the search data is a man-machine interface and a high-resolution CRT for displaying image data. Reference numeral 6 is a write-once type optical disc device (hereinafter referred to as an optical disc device) for recording image data, and 7 is an optical disc cartridge mounted in the optical disc device 6. Here, since the write-once type optical disk device 6 cannot rewrite or delete the data, the variable data such as the search database or the search system definition is held in the fixed magnetic disk device 2, and the image data is held in the optical disk cartridge 7. ing.

Next, the operation will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. First, a system definition of search data defined in advance in the fixed magnetic disk device 2 is obtained (step 5).
1). Then, the man-machine interface according to the search system is displayed on the CRT 5 (step 52). Next, the user receives a selection of image data registration processing or reading processing (step 53). When the user's selection is the registration process, the user inputs the registration name (step 54), writes the name in the search database of the fixed magnetic disk device 2 (step 55), and the optical disk cartridge 7 of the optical disk device 6 is received. The image data is written in (step 56). If the user's selection is read processing, the user inputs a read name (step 57), the read name is searched from the search database of the magnetic disk device 2 (step 58), and the optical disk device 6 is searched. Image data is read from the optical disk cartridge 7 (step 59), and the image data is displayed on the CRT 5 (step 510).

[0004]

In the conventional electronic filing system, the search data system definition and search database of the fixed magnetic disk device 2 and the image data of the optical disk device 6 are matched as described above. Therefore, when the data of the optical disk cartridge 7 is used by another computer, it is necessary to port the search system definition and the search database of the fixed magnetic disk device 2 to another computer. There was a problem that it became difficult.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and by moving and mounting a magneto-optical disk cartridge, an electronic filing system can be obtained in which image data can be used by another computer. The purpose is to

[0006]

An electronic filing system according to the present invention defines a search database and a structure of the search database in a magneto-optical disk cartridge of a magneto-optical disk device, and determines a form of a man-machine interface. A search system definition is provided to record image data.

[0007]

The magneto-optical disk cartridge of the electronic filing system according to the present invention can be used in another computer.

【Example】

Example 1. Embodiment 1 of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1 is a block diagram showing an electronic filing system according to a first embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, 1, 2,
Since 5 is the same as the conventional one, its explanation is omitted. Reference numeral 3 is a magneto-optical disk device, and 4 is a magneto-optical disk cartridge for storing a search data system definition, a search database, and image data, which is mounted on the magneto-optical disk device 3.

Next, the operation will be described. FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example in which the search systems 4a and 4b are constructed for each magneto-optical disk cartridge 4, and FIG. 3 reads the search data system definition from the magneto-optical disk cartridge 4 and displays the man-machine interface on the CRT 5. Then, it is a flow chart for reading and writing image data using the magneto-optical disk cartridge 4. In FIG. 3, first, the user obtains the definition of the search system from the magneto-optical disk cartridge 4 of the magneto-optical disk device 3 (step 3).
1). Then, the man-machine interface according to the search system is displayed on the CRT 5 (step 32). As a result of the above-mentioned processing, each magneto-optical disk cartridge 4 is processed as shown in FIG.
It provides different search systems as shown in. Next, the user receives a selection of image data registration processing or reading processing (step 33). In the case of registration processing, the user inputs a registration name (step 34), writes the name in the search database of the magneto-optical disc cartridge 4 (step 35), and the magneto-optical disc cartridge 4
The image data is written in (step 36). Further, in the case of the read processing, the user inputs the read name (step 37), and the read name is searched from the search database of the magneto-optical disk cartridge 4 (step 3).
8) The image data is read from the magneto-optical disk cartridge 4 (step 39), and the image data is displayed on the CRT 5 (step 310).

Embodiment 2. In the first embodiment, the case where the search system definition, the search database, and the image data are managed by the single magneto-optical disk cartridge 4 has been described, but the data of the electronic filing system on the fixed magnetic disk 2 is It may be stored in the magneto-optical disk cartridge 4, and the effect that the system itself can be easily ported to another computer is obtained.

[0011]

As described above, according to the present invention, the magneto-optical disk cartridge includes the search database and the search system definition that defines the structure of the search database and determines the form of the man-machine interface. Since it is possible to record data, the electronic filing system will be a magneto-optical disk cartridge unit,
The effect that the image data stored in the magneto-optical disk cartridge can be easily used in another computer can be obtained.
