Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a document filing apparatus, and more particularly to a document filing apparatus for managing a large amount of document data in a computer system.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, as a management device for a large amount of text data, a document filing device has been widely used, which can store a large amount of digitized document data and continuously display and refer to it. ing. This document filing device has a function of inputting document data, a function of reading and displaying document data, and the like, and is capable of high-speed display of document data. It is possible to search.

Generally, a large amount of document data is stored in a document filing device. Therefore, when searching for desired text data, rather than referencing all the stored document data, search conditions such as specifying keywords and the date of creation of document data (key for search) ) Is given to the search unit to perform a rough narrowing down, and then only the document data satisfying this search condition and its title are displayed.

The conventional document filing apparatus will be described below. FIG. 10A is a schematic configuration diagram of this. In the figure, reference numeral 1001 denotes a document data input unit for inputting document data and the like by the operation of the custodian. 100
Reference numeral 2 denotes a sentence data storage unit that stores the document data input by the sentence data input unit 1001. Figure 10
(B) is a conceptual diagram of the memory state. A table in which a document data name, a key for searching the document data, and a storage location of the document data itself in the disk are associated with each other is stored in the high-speed semiconductor memory. The reason why the document data itself is separately stored in the storage disk in the order of input is that the necessary storage resources are large. This makes it relatively easy to search relatively quickly and store a large amount of data.

A reading unit 1003 retrieves the document data stored in the text data storage unit 1002 based on the input keyword or the like and retrieves the document data. Reference numeral 1004 denotes a display unit, which is the reading unit 1003.
The document data read by is displayed.

Actually, in addition to this, it has components such as an operation panel and a printing unit in order to exert various functions required as a normal document filing apparatus, but it is directly connected to the gist of the present invention. However, since they are well-known techniques, description thereof will be omitted. Similarly, regarding the function and structure of narrowing down the stored data based on the given single or multiple search conditions, it is also possible to search for patent information of patent offices by so-called keywords etc. Since it is a well-known technique that is also adopted, the description thereof will be omitted.

Next, the handling of data in the operation of inputting, storing, reading, and displaying text data of this document filing apparatus will be described with reference to the drawings. Figure 11
FIG. 6 is a diagram schematically showing an example of a process of displaying document data. The document data input unit inputs three pieces of document data, document data A, document data B, and document data C.

Here, as shown in FIG. 11A, the document data A and the character data C are composed of character data and graphic data represented as a line drawing, and the document data B is only character data. The document data storage unit stores each piece of document data input by the document data input unit as electromagnetic information.

The reading unit reads the document data A, the document data B, and the document data C as they are from the document data storage unit as they are unless special search conditions are specified. The display unit displays the document data A, the document data B, and the document data C read by the reading unit.
Under the instruction of the searcher, as shown in FIG. 11B, one data is displayed at a time or in the order of input.

By the way, when a desired data is retrieved from a large amount of data, a figure or an atypical character is a retrieval key for retrieving the data itself because of its easiness of visual recognition and peculiarity of contents. Often used as. this is,
For example, it is a common experience that a drawing of an abstract is used for searching a large amount of patent application documents. In addition, titles and important matters are often written in large characters or underlined, and foreign documents are often important. As a result, there are many practical demands for searching only data having a figure or a special character because of the peculiarity at the time of visual recognition, not the meaning content.

When displaying only document data including graphic data for retrieval, for example,
As disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 61-193265, the searcher separately specifies the location of the searcher as a search condition.

[0012]

However, according to the above-mentioned conventional method, not only is it difficult to select the reading condition as a search key for storing and searching, but also when there is a large amount of data to be stored. Takes time. That is, unlike the keyword for the content of the text data, since it is drawing data, a search key suitable for graphic data such as creation date and time is created separately and stored in association with the data.
Secondary work is also necessary, such as having to keep entries.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and automatically classifies document data including graphic data and the like so that it can be searched later, and easily detects it when searching.

【Example】

(First Embodiment) An embodiment of the document filing apparatus of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram of this embodiment. Reference numeral 1 is a document data input unit for inputting document data as code data. The code data includes a character code representing text data, a line drawing code representing graphic data represented as a line drawing, and a dot code representing image data represented by a dot pattern.

As the "character code", for example, JI
S-level 1st level Kanji / 2nd level Kanji, Kanji used in Chinese, Hiragana / Katakana, Roman letters, Russian letters, German letters, Greek letters, Arabic numerals, Onmon, descriptive symbols, unit symbols, academic symbols , And modified characters obtained by performing modification processing such as shading processing on these. However, the contents of these codes are ISO, JI
It is defined by S, ASCII, etc., and is a well-known technique, so its description is omitted.

A document data storage unit 2 stores the document data input by the document data input unit 1. In terms of hardware, the search storage unit is a high-speed semiconductor memory because it requires high speed, and the storage unit for the data itself is a disk because it requires capacity. Here, as the disk, there are an optical disk, a magneto-optical disk, a magnetic disk, and the like.

Reference numeral 3 denotes an attribute value generation unit for automatically generating an attribute value from code data such as characters forming the document data input by the document data input unit 1. It is to be noted that this is to electromagnetically collate the input code with a so-called JIS code or the like stored in advance, that is, to compare bit values and to recognize the size of a series of lines to be connected and displayed. Made by. However, the collation with the electromagnetic type is a technique that is adopted even in an extremely everyday device such as blinking display of a specific word in a word processor, batch conversion, and the like, and therefore description thereof will be omitted. Further, the recognition of the size of a series of lines to be connected and displayed, that is, the size of a continuous line is performed by calculating the distance between the left and right ends or the upper and lower ends. FIG. 2 shows the configuration of each unit in the attribute value generation unit and the flow of signals between the components. In the figure, the solid line indicates the signal of the document data itself input for the attribute value determination, and the broken line indicates the signal regarding the attribute value. Similarly, FIG. 3 shows an operation flow of determination and determination of each attribute value of the input text data in this attribute value generation unit.

Reference numeral 6 allows the input person and the searcher to specify an attribute value to be searched for searching a specific type of text data, and holds the attribute value (store at least the necessary time). This is an attribute value designation part. Reference numeral 4 denotes a reading unit that searches the document data storage unit 2 for document data in which the attribute value output by the attribute value generation unit 3 and the attribute value held by the attribute value designation unit 6 are equal to each other, and reads the document data. And a storage unit that stores the read document data.

Reference numeral 5 is a display unit for displaying the document data read by the reading unit 4, and is composed of a CRT. Reference numeral 7 denotes a display data search unit that can be displayed on the display unit 4 after reading out the entire document data including the data as a part from the data displayed on the display unit 4.

Next, the configuration of the attribute value setting unit 3 of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. In the figure, reference numeral 31 is a modified character data existence determination unit. This modified character data existence determination unit 3
Reference numeral 1 determines from the code data input by the document data input unit 1 whether or not there is code data expressing a modified character, and outputs the determination result.
"Modified characters" include underlined characters, half-width characters, double-width characters, double-height characters, double-width characters, italic characters, bold characters, shaded characters, and bag characters.

Reference numeral 32 is a non-character data existence judging section for judging whether or not a code indicating data other than the character code exists in the code data. As described above, the character code is determined by JIS or the like, and therefore the determination is made by electromagnetically collating the bit value. Therefore, a special character for which a code value has not been input in advance as a template is processed as a foreign character or a graphic. If there is no non-character data, the presence or absence of image data described later will not be determined.

Reference numeral 33 is a line drawing data judging section for judging whether or not a line drawing code indicating graphic data is present in the code data. Reference numeral 34 is an image data determination unit. The image data determination unit 34 determines whether or not the image data represented by a dot pattern is present in the code data input by the document data input unit 1, and the determination result is sent to the attribute value output unit 32. Notice. Then, if it is determined that they exist, the attribute value output unit 32 outputs the image data to the text data storage unit 2 as the attribute value of the document data.

Reference numeral 35 is a modified character data existence determining unit 31,
Non-character data existence determining unit 32, line drawing data determining unit 33,
An attribute value output unit that receives a determination signal from the image data determination unit 34 and notifies the document data storage unit 1002 of the corresponding attribute value. Next, the operation of the document filing apparatus of this embodiment configured as described above will be described with reference to FIG. Note that FIG. 3 is an operation flow chart of the present apparatus.

The document data input unit 1 inputs document data as code data and outputs it to the attribute value generation unit so as to automatically discriminate its attribute value. First, the presence / absence of a character code is determined (S1). If there is no character code, it is determined as non-sentence data (S2). When the character code is detected, an attribute value indicating that it is document data is generated,
The attribute value output unit is notified (S3). Next, it is input to the modified character data existence determination unit, and it is determined here whether or not the modified character exists (S4).

If there is a modified character, the attribute value "modified character data" is notified to the attribute value output section (S5). Regardless of the presence / absence of a character code and the presence / absence of modified character data, the document data is sent to the non-character data existence determination unit and the presence / absence of non-character data is determined (S6). If there is no non-character data, the automatic determination of the attribute value of the input document data ends with this. If there is Q non-character data, the document data is sent to the line drawing data determination unit, and the presence or absence of line drawing data is determined. It is determined (S7).

When the line drawing data judging unit judges that the line drawing code indicating the graphic data is present in the inputted code data, it outputs the judgment result to that effect to the attribute value output unit 32 (S8). Regardless of the presence / absence of line drawing data, the document data is sent to the image data determination unit, where the presence / absence of image data is determined (S9). If not, the automatic determination of the attribute value of the document data is completed.

If it is determined that there is image data, the determination result to that effect is notified to the attribute value output section (S10). This is the end of the automatic determination of the attribute value based on the code data of the input document data. Based on the result of the above automatic determination, the attribute value generation unit outputs all the attribute values that are considered to exist in the document data to the storage unit.

The storage unit holds the title, attribute value, and storage location of the text data in the magnetic disk in the high-speed semiconductor memory in a table conceptually shown in FIG. 4A. The text data itself is separately stored in the magnetic disk due to the necessary storage resources.

Next, a description will be given of the retrieval of text data using this attribute value. The attribute value designation unit designates an attribute value, which is a search key (key) when searching for a specific type of text data, by the searcher, and holds the attribute value. The reading unit, if the text data having the attribute value held by the attribute value designation unit, for example, line drawing data is designated, reads the text data in which the line drawing data exists from the sentence data storage unit, Temporarily stored for display.

Finally, the display unit displays the text data read by the reading unit in a predetermined procedure. Note that this procedure will be described later. Next, the above operation will be described with reference to document data and concretely. FIG. 5 is a diagram schematically showing a process in which an attribute value is given to the document data input in the present embodiment, a search is performed under this designation, and a document is finally displayed, centering on the document data.

Here, the case where the user wants to select and refer to the text data that particularly includes the graphic data from the text data is shown. The document data input unit inputs the three pieces of document data document data A, document data B, and document data C as code data. Here, as shown in FIG. 5A, the document data A and the document data C have a character code indicating character data and a line drawing code indicating graphic data.

Document data B has only a character code indicating character data. On the other hand, the line drawing data determination unit in the attribute value generation unit 3 determines that the line drawing code exists for the document data A and the document data C, and the determination result to that effect is stored in the storage unit via the attribute value output unit. Output. For the document data B, the determination result indicating that the line drawing code does not exist is output.

This is shown in FIG. 5 (b). As a result, the document data storage unit stores the document data A and the text data C as having the attribute value of the line drawing data in the correspondence table. The searcher desires to refer to the text data including the line drawing data, and therefore specifies the attribute value of the line drawing code as a key for the search, and the attribute value designating section holds this.

The reading unit retrieves the document data having the line drawing data held by the attribute value designating unit as the attribute value, that is, the sentence data A and the sentence data C from the document data storage unit and then reads them. Then, as shown in (c) of FIG. 5, both data will be displayed. In this case, whether to display both data at once on the same display surface or sequentially display the data depends on a separate instruction from the searcher.

FIG. 6 is a configuration diagram of the main part of the display unit 5.
In FIG. 6, reference numeral 60 is a selection button, 61 is a single document data display section, and 62 is a plural text data display section. The selection button 60 causes the plurality of document data searched under the instruction of the searcher to flow to either the single document data display control unit 61 or the plural document data display control unit 62.

The single document data display control section 61 sequentially displays the plurality of document data read by the reading section 4 one by one. At that time, the document data retrieved based on the attribute value is
Arranged in the order in which they were stored under the action of the built-in document data serial arrangement section, and then stored in the display storage section,
Furthermore, it will be displayed in this order. At this time, since the characters are displayed on the entire display surface, the document data has large characters and is easy to see. Multiple document data display control unit 62
Displays a plurality of document data read by the reading unit at the same time.

In this case, the document data retrieved based on the attribute value is moved in the left-right direction by removing every other pixel under the action of the document data reduction unit incorporated in the plural document data display unit 62. It is halved in the vertical direction, and by removing every other image, it is halved in the vertical direction, resulting in a quarter of the display area. On this, under the action of the reduced document data two-dimensional array unit also incorporated in the multiple document data display unit 62, a total of four document data sets, two each in the vertical and horizontal directions, are arrayed as one data. On this, a large number of data consisting of these four reduced data are arranged in series so as to be displayed at one time on the same display surface.

Further, this one image data is stored in the display storage section built in the display section and displayed in order.
The purpose of this is to display a plurality of graphics at once, for example, four at the same time, as long as it is a graphic, so that it does not hinder visual recognition at the time of search. It is possible. However, the technology to reduce the size of multiple data and display them at the same time is not only complicated, such as a multi-window system under the control of a microcomputer used in corporate design, but also an even angle of a CRT. Since it is a technique that has been adopted even in an extremely everyday device such as a large-sized television receiver that displays a subprogram in a small size near the section, its description is omitted.

FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an operation flow of the display processing search depending on the number of document data searched from the start of the above search. Hereinafter, the operation of the display unit will be described with reference to this drawing as well. It is assumed that the attribute value of the document data to be searched is specified (t1) and the corresponding data is searched (t).
2).

In this case, when a small number of data are retrieved (t3) or when the document data is the retrieval target (t4), this document data is displayed one by one on the display surface to retrieve the retrieval target document data. It will be searched (t3). For this reason,
The document data are serially arranged in the order of creation date and time (t9), and are sent in order to the display storage unit for display (t8), and displayed one by one at the speed designated by the searcher.

On the other hand, when a very large number of document data are retrieved (t3) or when visually recognizable data such as graphics is the retrieval target (t4), simultaneous display of a plurality of data is adopted. In this case, the retrieved document data and the like are reduced (t5), and a plurality of the reduced data are arranged so as to be simultaneously displayed on the display surface (t6). When the data are displayed, they are arranged in series so as to be sequentially displayed as one data (t7). Then, this composite data is sent to the display storage unit (t8) and sequentially displayed at a predetermined speed.

Next, the image data generator will be described.
The image data generation unit is built in the attribute value generation unit and converts line drawing data and image data from the document data input as code data by the document data input unit with the help of the line image data determination unit and the image data determination unit. To generate.
Then, the image data storage unit separately provided in the storage unit stores the generated image data and the attribute value of the document data including the image data generated by the attribute value generation unit as a part thereof in association with each other. To do.

As a result, under the action of the image data attribute value designating section, only the image data is retrieved and then displayed. As a result, the unpleasant characters are not displayed during visual recognition, so that the search speed can be further increased.
Here, the principle of the operation of the image data generation unit is described. This is the electronic drawing of the line drawing data judging unit, the line drawing data by the image data judging unit, the recognition of the image data, and the code data of the character from the code data. This is done by recognizing the image data by removing it by collation.

Next, the operation of the display data search section 7 will be described. When the image data storage unit stores the image data generated by the image data generation unit in association with the attribute value of the document data including the image data, the display data search unit 7 stores the document data Remember the memory location. This is conceptually shown in FIG. The reading unit 4
When the image data read by the user is displayed on the display unit 5, the storage location of the document data including the image data as a part of the data is also read and held.

Next, the principle of the display data search section 7 will be described. When the searcher finds the data to be searched from the image data displayed on the display unit 5, the document data partially including the data displayed on the main display data search unit 7 Issue the entire search command. Then, the display data search unit 7 causes the display unit 5 to display the storage location from which the main display data is read.
Of course, the continuous display of the subsequent data retrieved based on the attribute value is stopped at that time. (Second Embodiment) Next, another embodiment of the document filing apparatus will be described.

In the present embodiment, attention is paid to the fact that the foreign language document is relatively easy in terms of the importance of the content, as well as the peculiarity of the content and the visual recognition, as compared to Japanese, and the foreign characters and foreign languages are also attributed. It is adopted as a value. The present embodiment will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 8 is an operation flow chart for outputting a foreign character or foreign language as an attribute value in this embodiment. This figure shows (S1), (S2), (S
The step 3) is made more detailed in order to exert the action according to the present embodiment.

FIG. 9 shows code data used for recognizing a character code and the like in this embodiment, which is registered in advance in the attribute value generating section. Here, in a foreign language or a specific foreign language, it can be easily determined by searching or collating the presence or absence of characters or words that are peculiar to the national language and are often used. For example, in English, the letters are alphabets and the words are "it", "have",
"But" etc., if it is German, the alphabet or German letters, umlaut or the corresponding alphabet (ue), if it is a word, "es", "ist", "aber", if it is Chinese, the letters are usually Abbreviated kanji, which is not used in Japanese but is often used in Chinese, is "yes" for words,
"Target" etc.

Since the basic configuration and the manner of storing the document data in the document data storage unit in association with the special characters as the attribute value and the foreign language are not different from those in FIGS. 1 and 4, respectively. The illustration is omitted. Next, the operation according to this embodiment will be described. When the document data is input, it is determined whether or not the character data not included in the Japanese code data such as JIS is the code data of another foreign character in order.

If it is determined that the code data of a certain foreign character is present, then which country's language among the foreign languages related to that character is sequentially specified based on the existence of the word peculiar to that foreign language. It For example, for alphabet letters, English,
German, French, etc. are judged in order. In this case, the word is detected by recognizing a space between the words in the case of a European language using alphabets.

Although the present invention has been described above based on the embodiments, it goes without saying that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. That is, the following is also included in the present invention. (1) The search means according to the related art is also used. Specifically, the date and time when the document data was input or created, the keyword, the creator, and the like can be used together as the search key. In the case of document data containing only characters, the retrieved document data itself is not displayed sequentially, but only the title is once displayed as when reading the text that was input after being created in the word processor, and the searcher It is possible to specify what seems to be applicable from the title.

(2) Document data is an example of the text data itself, which includes one leaf (page) as shown in FIG. 5, is conceptually and indirectly shown as a table for retrieval in FIG. As described above, any material consisting of many pages can be processed. Further, the text data consisting of a large number of pages of data is provided with a function of treating each page as if it were one text data. In this case, in order to recognize one page, a page end signal, a special symbol for displaying the page, for example, a page of document data is usually displayed as a number at the center of the bottom of the page or the right of the top of the page. For,
It is recognized by confirming this with an electronic point. Of course, as in the specification in the patent application, if there is a fixed format such as a symbol similar to "[", "]", it may be based on it.
