Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an image filing method for transferring filed image data to a filing device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art When copying image data between two filing devices, for example, as shown in FIG. 3, a storage unit 11 for reading and writing image data from a disk medium 14, a display unit 12, and a communication terminal 13 are used. The filing device 10 which is a data transfer source of the device, and the device 2 which is a data transfer destination which has a storage part 21 which similarly reads and writes image data from the tape medium 24, a display part 22 and a communication end 23.
0 is connected by a communication cable 30. The filing device 20 can control the filing device 10 via a communication cable 30 according to a predetermined protocol, and data can be exchanged by a command issued by the filing device 20. .

When copying data between these two devices, it is conceivable that the copying will be performed in the procedure shown in FIGS.

First, the filing device 2 of the data transfer destination
0 issues a command for calling the search data structure description file describing the search data structure in the filing device 10 to the filing device 10 as the data transfer source (step S31). The filing device 10 that has received the command transfers the data to the filing device 20 via the communication line 30 (step S5).
1, 52). The filing device 20 expands the data in the internal memory (step S32), and compares the information of the description file with the search data structure in the filing device 20 (step S23). At this time, if the data structures match, the data structure flag is set to 1 (step S34), and if they do not match, to 0 (step S3).
5).

Next, the filing device 20 issues a command requesting data transmission of a list of all files of the filing device 10 (step S36). Receiving this command, the filing device 10 transmits a list of files it has (step S53), and the filing device 20 displays the list. The user views the display and selects which one to copy.

When the number of the selected file is input (step S38), the filing device 20 issues a corresponding image data transmission request command (step S38).
39). The filing device 10 receiving this command transmits the image data to the filing device 20 (step S54). The filing device 20 displays the received data (step S40) and records the image data on the recording medium of the filing device 20 (step S41). Then, the filing device 20 shifts to a key input acceptance state in order to re-input search data corresponding to this image data (step S42).

[0007] The user looks at the screen of the filing device 20 and re-inputs the optimum search data. When the input of the search data is completed, the filing device 20 records the input search data (step S43).

After recording in step S43, step S38
Return to the list display of and wait for the selection of the next file number. Therefore, when a file input end key (not shown) is pressed, the copying of the image data is ended, and another process is started.

[0009]

In the above-mentioned device, when the structure of the search data differs between the two devices to be copied, it is required to re-input the search data for each file. At this time, image data is copied between re-inputs, but the user has to wait for the copy operation for each file. For example, assuming that the image data of one file is a binary image read by 8 pels vertically and horizontally for 10 A4 originals, the data amount is (296 * 8) * (210 * 8) * 10≈5MB. Therefore, if the data transfer destination is a recording device using DAT (digital audio tape) as the recording medium, the transfer rate is 192 kB / sec, so 5E6 / 192E3≈26 (sec) That is, about 26 seconds while copying each file. The user will have to wait.

In order to re-enter the search data,
The user needs to make a decision by looking at the image data of the main part, so that after the copy operation, the medium to which the data is transferred is accessed again, and that time is kept waiting.
If the other party is a recording device using DAT as a recording medium, it means waiting for 52 seconds, which is twice as long as 26 seconds.

In particular, it is necessary to output image data display, search data input echo back, and list display to the screen.

Further, in constructing such a system, from the viewpoint of software development, it is difficult to perform many operations at the same time. During copying of image files with different search data structures, multiple tasks such as search data input sequence, image data display, screen control such as image rotation, and file list screen display must be considered. , So the configuration of the software becomes difficult,
As a result, it causes an increase in system development time, occurrence of an unknown bug, and a problem that has occurred.

[0013]

In view of the above problems, according to the present invention, there is provided an image filing method for transferring a plurality of image data filed in the first image filing apparatus to the second image filing apparatus. And transfer the plurality of image data from the first image filing apparatus to the second image filing apparatus, and after the transfer of the plurality of image data, the second image filing apparatus handles the image data. Then, the problem is solved by inputting the identification data.

Further, according to the present invention, a plurality of image data filed in the first image filing device is recorded in the second image data.
An image filing method of transferring the image data to the second image filing device from the first image filing device, wherein the filing is performed by the filing device of the first and second image filing devices. The problem is caused by displaying the image data on the image filing device having a high reading speed of the read image data and inputting the identification data corresponding to the image data displayed on the image filing device in the second image filing device. Is the solution.
