Here, the document management information includes at least the location of the image information of each page constituting each document on the optical disc, in addition to the file number and document number for identifying each document. is there.

[0006]

However, according to such a configuration, there is a problem that it is not possible to easily perform editing processing such as page deletion and page movement on the document information written on the optical disk.

Further, a great amount of editing time is required when performing the above-mentioned editing process. This problem becomes a big problem especially when registering a document having document information on both front and back sides.

The above-mentioned problems occur for the following reasons. That is, after recording the document information in a predetermined area of the optical disc,
This is because the management information corresponding to the document information is also recorded on the optical disc, and the subsequent editing process is executed by reading the document management information from the optical disc.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and can be easily performed even after writing document information on an optical disc.
Moreover, it is an object of the present invention to provide a document information registration method capable of performing editing processing in a short time.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a document information registration method capable of registering a plurality of originals read in a batch as a plurality of documents on an optical disc.

[0011]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned first object of the present invention, when registering document information in an optical disc, the document information is first recorded in a first area of the optical disc, When the document management information is created from the recorded document information and is temporarily stored in the storage unit to perform the editing process of the recorded document information, the recorded document information is stored by the document management information in the storage unit. The editing process is performed, and after the editing process is completed, the document management information is recorded in the second area of the optical disc.

Further, in order to achieve the above-mentioned second object, the present invention first records the document information in the first area of the optical disc when registering the document information of an original consisting of a plurality of pages on the optical disc. Then, document management information is created from the recorded document information, this is temporarily stored in the storage unit, the document management information in the storage unit is divided by an arbitrary number of pages, and one document is divided for each divided document management information. The information is recorded in the second area of the optical disc.

[0013]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, when the document information written in the first area of the optical disc is edited, the document management information stored in the storage section of the electronic file device is stored in the electronic file apparatus. Since the access is performed, the editing process is performed on the accessed document management information, and the edited document management information is written to the second area of the optical disc, the editing process can be performed easily and quickly even after the document information is written to the optical disc. It can be performed. That is, since the document management information is stored in the storage unit until all editing processing is executed, the above-described operation can be executed.

Furthermore, since the document management information is written to the optical disk after all the editing processing is completed, the document management information recording area of the optical disk can be efficiently used without writing unnecessary management information.

Further, according to the above-described second configuration, when the document management information in the storage section is written in the second area of the optical disc, since it is divided and written as a plurality of pieces of document information, a plurality of originals read in a batch. Can be registered in the optical disc as a plurality of documents.

In FIG. 2, first, the operator inputs a signal instructing the start of document registration to the keyboard 5 (ST1), and the documents to be registered are collectively set on the ADF (auto document feeder) of the image scanner 11. When "read" is instructed by the keyboard 5 or the mouse 6, the scanner 11 is activated by the input / output control device 13 and the reading of the document is started (ST2). When the reading of one page of the document is completed, the image data is displayed on the display device 4 under the control of the display control device 7 (ST3). After confirming the displayed image data, the operator instructs to record on the optical disc 9, and the CPU 1 instructs the optical disc controller 10 to write this image data (image information for one page of the original document) on the optical disc 9. , And writing is started (ST4).
After writing one page of image data,
Next, the CPU 1 writes the management information of the image data for one page in the magnetic disk device 3 (ST5).
The relationship between the document image information and the management information will be described later in detail.

When the writing of the management information for one page into the magnetic disk device 3 is completed, it is judged whether or not there is an original document to be registered (ST6). Scan the originals for the eyes. If there is no original to be registered, image information for a plurality of pages (in this case, it is assumed that writing of a plurality of pages on the optical disc 9 is completed) is read (S
T7), and display on the display device 7 (ST8). The operator judges from the displayed image data whether or not there is a page to be added, and when adding, returns to the upstream of ST2 and reads the original to be added as described above. If there is no page to be added, it is determined whether or not the page editing process of the image data written on the optical disc 9 is performed (ST9). When performing page editing process,
A page edit process is executed (ST10), and then a batch document separation process is executed (ST11). If the page edit process is not performed, the batch document delimitation process is performed immediately. The management information stored in the magnetic disk device 3 is written to the optical disk 9 in the batch document break process. The page editing process and the batch document break process will be described in detail later. As described above, the feature of the present invention is that the management information is always held in the magnetic disk device 3 until the page editing process is completed, so that the image information once written on the optical disk 9 can be easily and quickly edited. It will be possible.

Here, in order to explain the invention in more detail, the relationship between the image information of the document and the management information will be described. Generally, the recording area of an optical disc is divided into an image information recording area and a document management information recording area. FIG. 3 shows the structure of these recording areas on the optical disk. FIG. 3A shows an image information recording area, and 1 to j show sector numbers. The figure shows that sector numbers 1 to h are recorded sectors. Also, FIG.
(B) shows a document management information recording area, and
n represents the document number of each document, and document numbers 1 to i represent recorded document numbers. Further, the document management information stored for each document number (for each document) is shown in FIG. 1 to m indicate page numbers, and it can be seen from the figure that the document corresponding to the document number i has page information of page m. That is, the document management information for one document is composed of the sum of the page management information 1 to the page management information m. Furthermore, the structure of each page management information is shown in FIG.
It shows in (d). As is apparent from the figure, each page management information includes the document size, document resolution, image information compression method, other page information, and the recording position of the image information corresponding to the page in the image information recording area, that is, the recording head sector. The number and the last recorded sector number.

Here, at the time of retrieval, the storage position in the image information recording area of the designated document image information is recognized by the start sector number and the last sector number of the management information, and the readout is performed.

FIG. 4 shows the internal structure of the magnetic disk device 3 used in the present invention. Similar to FIG. 3, FIG. 4A shows the page management information of the document to be registered, and FIG. 4B shows the configuration of each page management information for one page.

FIG. 5 shows the correspondence between the document management information and the image information on the optical disc. The figure shows the case where a document of page 7 is registered. The document image information of the first page is recorded in the recording area from sector number 1 to sector number 2 and the document image information of the second page is recorded in sector number 3. In the recording area, the 7th page document image information is recorded in the recording area of sector number 11.

The operation at the time of registering a document will be described again. FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the operation of the page editing process shown in ST10 of FIG. In FIG. 6, the page edit process is instructed by the operator (ST1), and the mode is changed to each edit process mode. Depending on the content of this instruction, the mode shifts to any one of page deletion processing, page movement processing, page insertion processing, double-sided document rearrangement processing, and image editing processing, and page editing processing operation is executed. As is clear from FIG. 6, when the process of a certain mode is completed, it is determined again whether or not there is an edit process to be executed by returning to the upstream of ST1.
If there is an edit process to be added, the process is moved to one of the above-described process modes, and if there is no edit process, the process operation is ended.

Next, each mode of the above-described page editing process will be described in detail for each mode. (Page Deletion Processing) FIG. 7 is an operation flow chart relating to page deletion processing. In the figure, first, the range of pages to be deleted is designated by deleting pages a to b (ST
1). This designation is input to the keyboard 5 by the operator. Next, the data corresponding to the page range designated by the document management information stored in the magnetic disk device 3 is deleted (ST2). Then, the image information is read from the optical disc 9 based on the document management information deleted in ST2 (ST3), and the read image information is displayed on the display device 4 (ST4). Since the image information displayed here is read based on the document management information in the magnetic disk device 3 that has been deleted, the document image information in which the specified page is deleted is displayed. About this operation
Further, an example will be described. FIG. 8 shows a document management information recording area in the magnetic disk device 3 and an image information recording area in the optical disk 9 when pages 3 to 4 of a 7-page document are deleted. Before deletion, as shown in FIG. 8A, the document management information stores information indicating that a 7-page document is stored in the recording area from sector number 1 to sector number 11 on the optical disc 9. There is. And
When page deletion processing from page 3 to page 4 is executed, FIG.
As shown in (b), the document management information corresponding to page numbers 3 and 4 is deleted, and the document management information corresponding to the subsequent pages is front-justified and newly stored. That is, the new image information corresponding to the third page after deletion is stored in the area of sector number 8, and the image information corresponding to the fourth page is stored in the area of sector numbers 9 to 10. Become. Here, since no processing is performed on the image information on the optical disc 9, the image information corresponding to the third page to the fourth page still remains in the sector numbers 4 to 7, but the document management Since the information has been deleted, the image information corresponding to these pages is not read. That is, the image information from the third page to the fourth page remains on the optical disc 9 as information having no meaning (which will not be read thereafter).

(Page Moving Process) FIG. 9 shows a flow chart for executing the page moving process. In FIG. 9, first, the range of pages to be moved is designated by the operator, such as page a to page b (ST1), and the page to be moved to is specified before (or after) page c. The position is designated (ST2). In response to this designation, the data corresponding to the designated page range of the document management information in the magnetic disk device 3 is moved to the designated destination position (ST3). Then, image information is read from the optical disk 9 based on the document management information in the magnetic disk device 3 that has undergone page movement processing (ST4), and a plurality of pages are displayed on the display device 4 (ST5). FIG. 10 shows a magnetic disk drive 3 when moving the third and fourth pages of a 7-page document to the front of the second page.

Before the movement, as shown in FIG. 10A, the document management information stores information indicating that a 7-page document is stored in the recording area from sector number 1 to sector number 11 on the optical disc 9. There is. And
When the page moving process from the third page to the fourth page is executed, FIG.
As shown in (b), the document management information corresponding to page numbers 3 and 4 is moved to the front of the document management information corresponding to page number 2, and the document management information corresponding to the subsequent pages is displayed in the area as shown. It is newly stored. That is, the image information corresponding to the new second page after movement is in the area of sector numbers 4 to 6, and the image information corresponding to the third page is in the area of sector number 7,
Image information corresponding to the fourth page is stored in sector number 3, respectively. Since no processing is performed on the image information on the optical disc 9, the optical disc 9
Although the content of the image information in the internal recording area does not change, since the page of the document management information is moved, the reading is performed while the page is moved.

(Page Inserting Process) FIG. 11 shows an operation flow chart for executing the page inserting process. In FIG. 11, first, when the operator specifies the insertion position of a new document (ST
1), the scanner 11 starts reading a document to be newly registered (ST2). When the scanner 11 finishes reading the image information of the original for one page (ST3), the read image information is displayed on the display device 4 (ST4).
When the operator confirms the displayed image information and gives a registration instruction, the image information for one page of the original document to be newly registered is added to the image information recording area of the optical disc 9 (ST5). When the writing of the image information to the optical disc 9 is completed, next,
The document management information corresponding to this image information is inserted and recorded at the insertion destination page position in the document management information recording area in the magnetic disk device 3 (ST6).

Further, it is determined whether or not there is a document to be inserted (ST7). If there is a document to be inserted, the process returns to the upstream of ST3 again to repeat the reading operation of the document to be inserted. When there is no original to be inserted, the image information is read from the optical disc 9 based on the document management information after the page insertion processing (ST
8), this is displayed on the multi-page display device 4, and (S
T9) End a series of operations.

FIG. 12 shows the document management information recording area in the magnetic disk device 3 and the optical disk 9 when two pages of new image information is newly inserted before the seventh page of a seven-page document. 3 shows the image information recording area. Figure 1 before insertion
As shown in FIG. 2 (a), the document management information stores information indicating that a 7-page document is stored in the recording area from sector number 1 to sector number 11 on the optical disc 9. Then, when the insertion processing of the image information for two pages is executed before the seventh page, the page numbers 7 and 8 as shown in FIG.
The document management information corresponding to page number 6 is newly added after the document management information corresponding to page number 6, and the document management information corresponding to page number 7 is rewritten to page number 9 as shown. On the other hand, in the optical disc 9, image information which is simply inserted after the already recorded sector number 11 is recorded.

That is, the image information corresponding to the new seventh page after insertion is stored in the area of sector numbers 12 to 13, and the image information corresponding to the eighth page is stored in the area of sector number 14. Will be there. Here, the image information on the optical disc 9 is simply written after the recorded area, but since the page insertion of the document management information is being performed, the reading is performed with the page inserted.

(Double-Sided Original Recombining Processing) FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing the operation of the double-sided original combining processing. This process is very effective when registering both-sided originals. Figure 1
In 3, the operator first designates the front page of the front side of the document to be registered (ST1), and further designates the range of pages of the back side document (ST2). Next, based on these designations, the data corresponding to the designated page range of the document management information in the magnetic disk device 3 is rearranged in the order of front and back, front and back (ST3). Then, after the rearrangement processing of the document management information is completed, the image information is read from the optical disc 9 based on the newly created document management information (ST
4) This is displayed on the display device 4 for a plurality of pages.

FIG. 14 shows the document management information recording area in the magnetic disk device 3 and the image information in the optical disk 9 when the first page of the front surface is designated as the first page and the back page range is designated as the fifth page to the seventh page. It shows a recording area. Before the rearrangement, the document management information has a total of 7 as shown in FIG.
Information indicating that the document of the page is stored in the recording area from sector number 1 to sector number 11 on the optical disc 9 is stored. Then, the recombination process is performed under the above-described conditions, that is, the page numbers are 1, 5, 2, 6, ...
14B, the document management information is displayed as page numbers 1 and 5 before the rearrangement, as shown in FIG.
Can be rewritten as 2, 6 ... That is, the image information corresponding to the second page after the rearrangement is stored in the sector number 8 area and the third
Image information corresponding to a page is stored in the area of sector number 3. Here, since no processing is performed on the image information on the optical disc 9, the content of the image information in the recording area in the optical disc 9 does not change, but the page recombination process of the document management information is performed. , Read-out is performed in a state of being recombined.

(Image Editing Process) FIG. 15 shows an operation flow chart for performing the image editing process. In FIG. 15, first, when the operator specifies a page to be edited (ST1),
The page designated based on the document management information in the magnetic disk device 3 is read from the optical disk 9 (ST2) and displayed on the display device 4 (ST3). And
Based on the displayed image information, tilt correction, correction such as character input,
The editing process is executed (ST4), and when the editing process is completed, the edited image information is newly written in the image recording area of the optical disc 9 (ST5). Next, the management information corresponding to the edited page of the document management information in the magnetic disk device 3 is rewritten (ST6). Then, the image information is read from the optical disc 9 based on the document management information after the editing processing (ST7), and displayed on the display device 4 (S7).
T8), and a series of operations ends.

FIG. 16 shows a document management information recording area in the magnetic disk device 3 and an image information recording area in the optical disk 9 when the sixth page of a document consisting of seven pages is image-edited and replaced. It is a thing. Figure 16
As shown in (a), the document management information stores information indicating that a 7-page document is stored in the recording area from sector number 1 to sector number 11 on the optical disc 9. When the edit processing of the image information on page 6 is executed,
As shown in FIG. 12B, the sector number of the document management information corresponding to page number 6 is rewritten as shown. On the other hand, in the optical disc 9, the image obtained by editing the contents of the sixth page is simply added as a new image after the sector number 11 which has been newly recorded in the recording area. That is,
The image information corresponding to the sixth page after the editing process is the sector number 12
Therefore, it is stored in the area of sector number 14. Here, the image information on the optical disk 9 is simply written after the recorded area, but since the page editing processing of the document management information has already been performed, the reading is read in the page edited state. . It should be noted that the area of the sector number 9 and the sector number 10 in the optical disk 9 is still the sixth area.
The image information before editing the page remains, but is not read because the document management information has been rewritten as described above.

The above is a description of the processing operation in each mode of the page editing processing shown in ST3 of FIG. 2. Next, the batch document break operation, which is the operation after page editing, will be described.

(Batch Document Separation Processing) The document separation is
(1) When registering on the optical disc as one document, (2)
When one document is divided into e pages, (3) each operation mode is provided when one document is divided into an arbitrary number of pages. FIG. 17 is a flowchart showing these processing operations of batch document delimitation.

In FIG. 17, first, when one of the document delimiter modes is selected by the operator (ST1), the process described below is executed by this selection.

(1) In case of one document The content corresponding to all pages of the document management information in the magnetic disk device 3 is set as information for one document (ST11), and this is written in the document management information recording area of the optical disk 9. (ST1
2). When this writing process is completed, the content of the document management information in the magnetic disk device 3 is erased (ST13), and all the document registration operations are completed.

(2) In case of dividing every e pages The contents corresponding to the first page to the e page of the document management information in the magnetic disk device 3 are used as the management information for one document (S
(T21), and writes this in the document management information recording area of the optical disc 9 (ST22). When this writing process is finished, the contents from the first page to the e-th page of the document management information in the magnetic disk device 3 are erased, and the remaining information is written in the management information recording area with the left justification (ST23). Then, the number of remaining pages is grasped from the management information that has been justified, and it is determined whether or not the number of remaining pages is e or more (ST2).
4). When the number of remaining pages is equal to or more than e pages, the process returns to the upstream of ST21 again and the same processing as the above-described operation is performed.

(3) When dividing into arbitrary pages When the page range to be divided is specified by the operator (ST3
1), the content of the designated range of the document management information in the magnetic disk device 3 is set as management information for one document (ST32), and this is written in the document management information recording area of the optical disk 9 (S
T33). When this writing process is completed, the contents of the pages in the specified range of the document management information in the magnetic disk device 3 are erased, and the remaining information is left justified and written in the management information recording area (ST34). Then, it is determined whether or not the number of remaining pages is 0 (ST35).
The process is repeated from the upstream of T31, that is, the designation of the page range.
When the number of remaining pages is 0, the document delimiter operation is terminated and all document registration operations are terminated.

Further, these document division processes will be described in more detail with reference to FIGS. 18 to 20.

FIG. 18 shows the transition of the document management information in the magnetic disk device 3 corresponding to the above (1).
FIG. 18A shows a configuration in which the document management information of pages 1 to 10 is stored in the magnetic disk device 3. This is recorded as one document in the management information recording area of the optical disk 9 as shown in FIG. 18B, and the document management information in the magnetic disk device 3 is cleared.

FIG. 19 shows the transition of the document management information in the magnetic disk device 3 corresponding to the above (2).
As an example, a case where a 10-page document is divided into e = 4, that is, every 4 pages is shown. FIG. 19A shows a state in which the document management information from the first page to the fourth page is recorded on the optical disk 9 and the document management information in the magnetic disk device 3 is cleared. Four pages are cleared and the remaining management information is justified and newly written in the magnetic disk device 3. That is, in this state, the magnetic disk device 3 stores 6 pages of document management information. Further, when the document management information for four pages is recorded on the optical disk 9 and the document management information in the magnetic disk device 3 is cleared in the same manner as described above, the state shown in FIG. As a result, the remaining management information is 2 pages, which is 4 pages.
Since the number of pages is less than the number of pages, the document break is temporarily interrupted here. After that, specify the document separation method again, or
Alternatively, pages are further added / edited or each operation is executed according to the operator's request.

FIG. 20 shows the transition of the document management information in the magnetic disk device 3 corresponding to the above (3).
As an example, a case where a 10-page document is divided into 4 pages, 5 pages, and 1 page is shown. FIG. 20A shows a state in which the document management information of the first to fourth pages is recorded on the optical disk 9, recorded on the magnetic disk 9, and the document management information in the magnetic disk device 3 is cleared. Four pages are cleared and the remaining management information is justified and newly written in the magnetic disk device 3. That is,
Document management information for six pages is stored in the magnetic disk device 3 in this state. Further, similarly to the above, when the document management information for 5 pages is recorded on the optical disk 9 and the document management information in the magnetic disk device 3 is cleared, the state shown in FIG. Finally, the remaining one page of document management information is written on the optical disc 9, all the management information in the magnetic disc device 3 is cleared, and the delimitation process ends.

Next, the control operation at the time of document registration according to the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to FIG. Figure 21 shows WS
FIG. 9 is a sequence diagram showing exchange of information between a (workstation) and an OD (optical disc drive). In the figure, when the image information corresponding to one page of the original is read by the scanner on the WS side, the read image information is compressed and transferred to the OD side. Upon receiving this image information, the OD side writes it in a specific area of the set optical disc, and returns sector information (start sector number and last sector number) indicating the position of the recorded area to the WS side. Upon receiving this, the WS side creates page management information (size, resolution, sector information, etc.) from the sector information and stores it in the temporary magnetic disk device. Then, when the writing of the image information for one page to the optical disc is completed, the originals of the second and subsequent pages are also written to the optical disc by performing the same processing as described above.

When the writing of all the documents is completed, the page editing process is performed by the operator's designation. The page editing process includes the page deleting process, the page moving process, the page inserting process, the double-sided document rearranging process, and the image editing process as described above, and these processes are held in the magnetic disk device on the WS side. It is executed by the page management information.

When the page editing process is completed, the page management information held in the magnetic disk device is written in a predetermined area of the optical disk, and all the document registration operations are completed.

[0048]

As is apparent from the above description, according to the present invention, when the editing process is performed on the document information written in the first area of the optical disc, the document in the storage section provided in the electronic file device is executed. The management information is accessed, the editing process is performed on the management information, and the edited document management information is written in the second area of the optical disc. Editing can be done in time.

Furthermore, since the document management information is written to the optical disk after all the editing processing is completed, the document management information recording area of the optical disk can be used efficiently.

Further, when the document management information in the storage section is written in the second area of the optical disc, it is divided into a plurality of pieces of document information and is written as desired. As a result, it is possible to easily register it on the optical disc.
