Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an information management device capable of quickly searching for data.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, the amount of data processed by computers has increased, and the capacity of storage devices for recording data has also increased. In addition, the amount of data that can be processed by a computer often depends on the capacity of the storage device. However, storing the same data multiple times is a problem that the storage capacity of the storage device is wasted and the processing time of the data does not change despite the reduction of the total amount of data processed by the computer. It was

Therefore, in addition to the normal processing, for example, the processing for unifying the duplicated data is performed by the user so that the data can be effectively used and the total amount of data that can be processed by the computer is increased and The processing time was reduced.

[0004]

However, if the user unifies the duplicated data, the reliability of the data is lowered by the artificial work and the working time for the unification is increased. As a result, it has been an obstacle to rapid data processing.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide an information management apparatus capable of increasing the amount of data that can be processed by a computer and reducing the data search time by improving the reliability of data and unifying the data. It is in.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION To achieve the above object, the present invention provides data registration and data modification in a data file in which data necessary for data processing is recorded by executing an application program for processing data. In an information management device for erasing data, a data processing command creating means for creating a data processing command in accordance with a data processing instruction from the application program, and a data relation recording device for recording a mutual relationship between data in the data processing. And a data control means for controlling the data by accessing the data relation recording means according to the data processing instruction from the data processing instruction creating means.

[0007]

In the information management apparatus of the present invention, the data processing command generating means generates a command for promptly instructing data registration, data modification and data deletion, which are requests from the application program. In addition, the data relationship recording means records the mutual relationship between the data,
By searching this record, it is possible to quickly search for the data necessary for the current processing. Then, the data control means accesses the data relation recording means in accordance with the data processing command from the above-mentioned data processing command creating means, and controls data such as data registration, data modification and data deletion.

[0008]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An information management apparatus of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The information management apparatus of the present invention is provided with an application section 1 for processing data and an instruction for promptly instructing from the application section 1 such as data registration, data change and data deletion. The work unit 2 which is a data processing instruction creating means to be automatically generated, the data file unit 10 in which various data are stored, and the data file unit 10 is directly accessed to register data, change data, erase data, and the like. Data relation control unit 3 which is a data control means for controlling
And an interface unit 4 for connecting the data relation control unit 3 with the application unit 1 and the work unit 2. Further, the data file unit 10 records the relation between data and the relation file 11 which is a data relation recording means directly accessed by the inter-data relation control unit 3, and the data in the information management apparatus of the present invention. And a form file 13 in which the format of the data stored in this data file 12 is stored.

The file structure of the data file 12 of the data file section 10 is currently referred to as the data ID for recording the identification number of the data itself and the version of the application program as shown in FIG. 2 (a). Provided is a relational file ID in which the relation between data and other data is recorded and classification information for recording attribute values indicating numerical data or other data, and data for recording actually processed data. Has been. On the other hand, in the relation file part 11 of the data file part 10,
A relational file ID that records a data identification number that represents one relationship between data and data as shown in FIG. 2B, and classification information that records attribute values that represent numerical data or other data. , Data file ID correlation data that records the relationship between the actually processed data and the data.

Further, the above-mentioned work unit 2 issues a data request instruction to the inter-data relation control unit 3 in order to access the data from the data file unit 10 in accordance with the data request from the application program.
In response to this data request instruction, the inter-data relation control unit 3 first reads the classification information of the relation file, then accesses the mutual relation data of the data file ID from this data, and promptly detects the target data from the mutual relation of the data. Search for file ID. Then, the inter-data relationship control unit 3 searches for the target data from the classified information of the searched data ID, registers the data, changes the data, and deletes the data.

As shown in FIG. 3, the flow chart of the control of registration or change of the information management apparatus of the present invention configured and operating as described above is such that a data registration command is first issued from the work unit 2 in accordance with a data registration request from the application unit 1. Output (S20). Next, if it is not a new registration, the data will be changed, so the data file I in the relation file 11
Change the mutual relationship data of D and register the data (S2
1, S22). In the case of newly registered data, the mutual relationship data of the data file ID in the relationship file 11 is changed or generated, and the data is newly registered according to the firmware file 13 (S21, S23). Finally, the classification information of the new data is added and the process is terminated (S2).
4).

As shown in FIG. 4, the data deletion control flow chart is as follows. First, the work unit 2 outputs a data deletion command in response to a data deletion request from the application unit 1 (S30). Next, the relevant data in the data file 12 is searched and deleted according to the classification information of the relation file 11 (S31). Then, finally, the classification information of the relation file 11 and the mutual relation data of the file data ID are changed or deleted, and the processing is ended (S32).

As described above, the information management apparatus of the present invention accesses the relational file storing the data of the interrelationship between the data and registers the data, changes the data, and erases the data, thereby ensuring the reliability of the data. We were able to improve and unify the data.

[0015]

As described above, according to the present invention, by accessing the relational file storing the data of the interrelationship between the data and registering the data, changing the data and erasing the data, Reliability can be improved and data can be unified, the amount of data that can be processed by a computer can be increased, and the search time for data can be reduced.
