Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a device for assigning a file name to a tone data file or any other data file, and more particularly, to allow an operator to easily and quickly assign a file name. At the same time, it relates to the thing that can prevent giving wrong file name.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As one type of music electronic equipment, an external sound is sampled by a PCM (pulse code modulation) method, data obtained based on the sampling is recorded, or a recorded data file is edited or Devices for reproduction are generally known. Such a music electronic device will be referred to as a sampler here. With a conventional sampler, when giving a file name to a newly recorded data file or changing the file name of an already recorded data file, use it as a file name by performing key input using the keyboard. The operator has input the characters that make up the desired word (for example, the word'violin ').

[0003]

However, in such key input, characters must be input one by one.
It was a complicated task for the operator. Further, in such a key input, when the operator mistakenly remembers the spelling of a word or inputs the key incorrectly (for example, 'violin').
Incorrect file name is given to the data file when the user misspelled the word “biolin” or input the key “biolin” by mistake. The sampler searches for a specific type of data file among a large number of data files by searching for the word contained in the file name (for example, searching for the word'violin 'contained in the file name. By v
Some of them have a function of finding an iolin-type musical tone data file), but there is a problem in that a data file having such an incorrect file name is omitted from the search target and cannot be found.

The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and includes a sampler having a recording / reproducing function of a data file and other electronic devices for music (eg, electronic musical instruments),
Or, in electronic devices other than music electronic devices that have a data file recording / playback function, it is possible to easily and quickly assign a file name to a data file and prevent an incorrect file name from being given. It is intended to provide a name giving device.

[0005]

A file name assigning apparatus according to the present invention is a device for displaying a list of words to be used as a file name, and a desired list from the list displayed on the display unit. A selecting means for selecting one word or a desired combination of a plurality of words, and an adding means for adding a file name using the word or the combination of words selected by the selecting means to the data file. It is characterized by that.

[0006]

The display means displays a list of words to be used as a file name (for example, a list including the word "violin"). From the list, the selecting unit selects one desired word or a desired combination of a plurality of words (for example, a combination of'violin 'and other words). Then, a file name using the word or a combination of words is added to the data file by the adding unit. In this way, a file name using a word or a combination of words selected from a list prepared in advance can be given to the data file, so that the file name can be compared with the case of inputting characters one by one by key input. Can be done easily and quickly, and the wrong file name assignment due to misspelled words can be avoided, and the correct file name is assigned to the data file. Will be able to.

Further, a specifying means for arbitrarily specifying which of a normal word and an abbreviation of the normal word is used as a file name is further provided, and the display means is used as a file name. A list of ordinary words to be used and a list of words to be used as an abbreviation for the ordinary word are displayed, and the selecting means, in accordance with the designation by the designating means, displays a list of these ordinary words It is preferable to select from any one. As a result, it becomes possible to use abbreviations as file names, and in that case as well, since the terms are unified, it is possible to find the data file from the search target without omission. Further, in this case, it is more preferable to further include insertion means for automatically inserting a predetermined code between the words when the selection means selects from the list of abbreviations. Is. Thereby, even when an abbreviation is used as a file name, this code makes it possible for the operator to easily understand the division between words.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an outline of a hardware configuration of an electronic device adopting a file name assigning device according to an embodiment of the present invention. This electronic device is
It includes a sampler 1 and a personal computer 2 which is an upper control device of the sampler 1. Sampler 1
As described above, is an electronic device for music for sampling an external sound by the PCM method, recording the data obtained based on the sampling, and editing or reproducing the recorded data file. Data recording is performed by the built-in disk device 3 (which is a magnetic disk device or an optical disk device). Further, in this sampler 1, it is also possible to mount a disc in which an existing preset data file is recorded in the disc device 3 and edit or reproduce the file. Since the basic configuration and functions of the sampler 1 itself are generally known, detailed description thereof will not be given here.

To the personal computer 2, a keyboard 4, a mouse 5 and a display 6 which are peripheral devices are connected. The personal computer 2, as a higher-level controller of the sampler 1, executes file processing for the data file recorded in the disk device 3. FIG. 2 shows an outline of this file processing. The file process is roughly divided into a file save process and a file load process. The file save process is a process of recording a data file in the disk device 3. The file save process includes a file name giving process of giving a file name to the data file. The main storage device of the personal computer 2 stores a list of words to be used as a file name in this file name assigning process. The file loading process is a process of reading a data file recorded in the disk device 3 for editing or reproduction. The file loading process includes a file search process. FIG. 3 shows an outline of file search processing. A specific word (eg'Piano ') in the filename of the file you want to find (in the following,
A user operates the keyboard 4 or the mouse 5 to personalize a word used as a file name) and a search condition (for example, a file recorded after a certain date). When input to the computer 2, the personal computer 2 displays a list of files matching the keywords and conditions on the display 6. Since the present invention relates to the file name assigning process in such file processes, the file name assigning process will be mainly described below.

FIG. 4 shows an example of a screen for selecting a file, which the personal computer 2 displays on the display 6 during the file save processing. Disk device 3
Information about 5 files (file name'Name ', data type'Type', recorded date'Date ', etc.) is displayed line by line at a time among the files recorded in The operator clicks the click button of the mouse 5 while moving the cursor C to the arrow icon in the corner of the screen or the icon on the next page by moving the mouse 5.
Information about files that are not currently displayed on the screen can also be displayed on the screen. In this way, when information about a desired file is displayed on the file selection screen and the operator moves the cursor C to the line of the file by moving the mouse 5, the character of that line is highlighted (in the figure, File name'Voice
The characters on the line of the DUMMY 'file are highlighted.) When the operator clicks the click button of the mouse 5 in that state, the file name giving process for the file starts.

FIG. 5 is a flow chart showing an example of the file name giving process. First, in step 100, a flag DO indicating whether or not this file name assignment processing has been completed.
The NE is set to a value "0" indicating that it has not ended. In the next step 101, the display 6 is displayed.
Display the file name assignment screen as shown in. This file name giving screen is provided with some frames (boxes) for the operator to click the click button of the mouse 5 therein. The names and functions of those boxes are
Listed below. (1) File name box B1: The file name of the file selected from the file selection screen (FIG. 4) is displayed, or the position in the box B1 where a new word is to be displayed is designated by operating the mouse 5, and will be described later. Do POP UP M
A box for inserting and displaying the word selected from ENU (in the figure, the file name'Vo of the file highlighted in the file selection screen (FIG. 4)
iceDUMMY 'is displayed in this box. ) (2) short check box B2: a box for designating the use of an abbreviation as a file name by operating the mouse 5 or displaying that the abbreviation is designated (3) POP UP MENU box B3: a box for displaying a list (a list of words to be used as a file name) stored in the main memory of the personal computer 2 on the display 6 by operating the mouse 5, In order to select and display only the words included in a predetermined category from, the following eight types of boxes are classified. (3a) General box B3a: P in which only words stored in the main memory as frequently used words are listed
Display OP UP MENU (3b) NameA-B box B3b: POP that lists only words whose initial letters are alphabets A to B
Display UP MENU (3c) NameC-E box B3c: POP that lists only words whose initial letters are C to E
Display UP MENU (3d) NameF-K box B3d: POP that lists only words whose initials are F to K of the alphabet
Display UP MENU (3e) NameL-Q box B3e: POP that lists only words whose initials are the letters L to Q of the alphabet
Display UP MENU (3f) NameR-S box B3f: POP that lists only words whose initial letters are R to S
Display UP MENU (3g) NameT-Z box B3g: POP with only words whose initials are T to Z of the alphabet
Display UP MENU (4) Note box B3h: P that contains only chords
Display OP UP MENU (5) OK box B4: Box for confirming that the file name consisting of the word displayed in the file name box B1 is given to the file by operating the mouse 5 (6) Cancel box B5: A box for confirming by the operation of the mouse 5 that the file name consisting of the word displayed in the file name box B1 is not given to the file.

In the next step 102, it is determined whether or not the click button of the mouse 5 has been clicked down (hereinafter, clicking down is referred to as down). If it is down, the process proceeds to step 103, where a "mouse down process" described in detail later is executed. Then, the process proceeds to step 107. On the other hand, if it is not down, the process proceeds from step 102 to step 104, and it is determined whether or not the click button of the mouse 5 clicked down has returned to the original state (in the following, the click button of the mouse 5 clicked down is returned. Will be called up to return to the original). If the mouse is up, the routine proceeds to step 105, where a "mouse up process" to be described later is executed. Then, the process proceeds to step 107. On the other hand, if it has not been updated, the process proceeds from step 104 to step 106, and the cursor C is moved on the file name assignment screen in accordance with the movement of the mouse 5. Then, the process proceeds to step 107.

In step 107, the file name displayed in the file name box B1 is edited according to the operation of the keyboard 4 (for example, the word constituting the file name according to the operation of the delete key on the keyboard 4). Will be deleted). Next, at step 108, it is judged whether or not the value of the flag DONE is "0" (that is, the file name giving process is not completed). If the answer is yes, the process returns to step 102, and the processes from step 102 onward are repeated.
On the other hand, if NO, the process proceeds to step 109 and the file name giving screen is deleted from the display 6. Then return.

Next, the "mouse down process" and the "mouse up process" will be described. FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing an example of the “mouse down process”. First, in step 200, it is determined whether or not the cursor C is within the short check box B2 on the file name assignment screen (FIG. 6) when the mouse 5 is moved down. short
If it is in the check box B2, the process proceeds to step 201, and the value of the flag SHORT DOWN is set to "1". Then return. On the other hand, if it is not within the short check box B2, step 200 to step 2
In step 02, it is determined whether or not the cursor C is in the file name box B1 when the mouse 5 is moved down.
If it is in the file name box B1, the process proceeds to step 203, and the word at the position where the cursor C is located in the file name box B1 is displayed separately from the words at other positions in the file name box B1 (here, it is displayed). , As an example, the word at the relevant place shall be displayed by enclosing it in parentheses). Then return. On the other hand, if it is not in the file name box B1, the process proceeds from step 202 to step 204, and when the mouse 5 is moved down, the cursor C
Is a POP UP MENU box B3 (B3a-B3
h) It is determined whether or not it is within. POP UP ME
If it is in the NU box B3 (B3a to B3h), the process proceeds to step 205, and the POP UPMENU corresponding to the boxes B3a to B3h is displayed on the display 6.
Then return. Figure 8 shows General Box B
3a shows an example of a POP UP MENU corresponding to 3a,
FIG. 9 shows the POP corresponding to the NameA-B box B3b.
FIG. 10 shows an example of the UP MENU, and FIG. 10 shows an example of the POP UP MENU corresponding to the Note box B3h. In each POP UP MENU, the usual keywords that should be used as file names are displayed inside the line L, and the keywords that should be used as abbreviations of the keywords are displayed in parentheses immediately after each keyword. ing.

On the other hand, POP UP MENU box B
If it is not within 3, then Step 204 to Step 206
And the cursor C is OK when the mouse 5 is moved down.
It is determined whether or not it is in the box B4 or the Cancel box B5. If it is in the OK box B4, the process proceeds to step 207, and the word displayed in the file name box B1 is added to the file as a file name.
Then, the process proceeds to step 208, and the flag DONE is set to a value "1" indicating that the file name giving process is completed. Then return. If it is in the Cancel box B5, the process directly proceeds to step 208 and the flag DO is entered.
After setting NE to the value '1', the process returns. On the other hand, O
If neither in the K box B4 nor in the Cancel box B5, the process directly returns.

FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing an example of the "mouse-up processing". First, at step 300, when the mouse 5 is moved up, the cursor C moves to the short name check box B2 on the file name assignment screen (FIG. 6).
It is judged whether or not it was inside. If yes, the process proceeds to step 301, and it is determined whether or not the value of the flag SHORT DOWN is "1". "Mouse down process"
As described in, the flag SHORT DOWN
Is set to '1' when the mouse 5 is moved down while the cursor C is in the short check box B2 (steps 200 to 201 in FIG. 7). Therefore, only when the mouse 5 is continuously moved down and up while the cursor C is in the short check box B2, the determination in step 301 is YES. At this time, the process proceeds to step 302, and a value opposite to the value currently stored is stored in the 1-bit storage area of the register (which will be referred to as register SHORT) in the personal computer. This register SHORT
Is for storing whether or not the use of the abbreviation is designated. Here, as an example, the register SHOR
It is assumed that the initial value of T is "0" and the value of the register SHORT indicating that the use of the abbreviation is designated is "1". Therefore, the cursor C is short
When the operator performs down and up of the mouse 5 for the first time with the check box B2 inside, the register SH
When the value of ORT becomes "1", the mode in which the abbreviation is used is set. And then the cursor C is short
When the operator goes down and up for the second time while the check box B2 is still in place, the value of the register SHORT becomes "0", and the mode in which the normal word is used again returns to the designated mode. At step 302, along with this, a predetermined code (for example, 'X') indicating the mode in which the abbreviation is used is displayed in the short check box B2 corresponding to the value of the register SHORT. Therefore, here, when the value of the register SHORT becomes '1', the code is displayed in the short check box B2. When this step 302 is finished, the routine proceeds to step 308, where the flag SHORT DO
Set the value of WN to '0'. Then return. On the other hand, in step 301, the flag SHORT DOWN
If the value of N is not '1' (that is, the cursor C is s
Mouse 5 while in the check box B2
Is not down), jump from step 301 to step 308, and return through step 308.

In step 300, if the cursor C is not in the short check box B2 when the mouse 5 is moved up, the process proceeds to step 303, and when the mouse 5 is moved up, the cursor C is in the line L of the POP UP MENU.
It is determined whether or not it is inside (see FIGS. 8 to 10).
As explained in “Mouse Down Processing”, POP
In UP MENU, the cursor C is POP UP ME
It is displayed on the display 6 when the mouse 5 is moved down in the NU box B3 (B3a to B3h) (steps 204 to 205 in FIG. 7). Therefore, the cursor C moves to the POP UP MENU box B3 (B3
a to B3h), the mouse 5 is brought down, and then the mouse 5 is brought up in the line L of the POP UP MENU displayed thereby, Step 3
It is judged as yes in 03. At this time, the process proceeds from step 303 to step 304, and it is determined whether or not the cursor C is on the keyword in the line L when the mouse 5 is moved up. If it is above the keyword, the process proceeds to step 305, and the keyword is inserted immediately before the word displayed in parentheses in the file name box B1. At this time, if the value of the register SHORT is "0" (that is, in the mode using the normal word as described in step 302), the normal word of the keyword is inserted, and the other register SHORT is inserted. If the value of is 1 (that is, in the mode using the abbreviation as described in step 302), the abbreviation in the parentheses of the keyword is inserted. In addition, in the mode using abbreviations, in order to make it easier for the operator to distinguish words and words from each other, a predetermined code () is inserted between the word to be inserted and the word enclosed in parentheses in the file name box B1. Here, as an example, it is assumed that the line is underlined). When step 305 ends, the process proceeds to step 306, the POP UP MENU is erased from the display 6, and the file name assignment screen (FIG. 6) in which the keyword is inserted in the file name box B1 is displayed on the display 6. Then, the process returns through step 308.
On the other hand, if the cursor C is not on the keyword in the line L when the mouse 5 is moved up in step 304, the process jumps from step 304 to step 306, erases the POP UP MENU, and again the file name assignment screen (Fig. 6) is displayed. Then, the process returns through step 308. Therefore, when the mouse 5 is moved up, if the cursor C is in the line L but not on the keyword, there is no change in the word in the file name box B1.

In step 303, if the cursor C is not in the line L of the POPUP MENU when the mouse 5 is moved up, the process proceeds to step 307, and it is determined whether or not the POP UP MENU is displayed on the display 6. If it is displayed, the process proceeds to step 306 to erase the POP UP MENU from the display 6, and then the process returns to step 308. On the other hand, if POP UP MENU is not displayed on the display 6, the process directly returns to step 308.

The description of the configuration of the file name assigning apparatus is completed above. Next, as an operation example of the file name assigning apparatus, the file names of the files recorded in the disk device 3 are changed from "BrightPiano" to "Brig."
An example of changing to htAcousticPiano 'will be described. With the file selection screen (Fig. 2) displayed on the display 6, the file name'Br
When "rightPiano" is displayed, the cursor is moved to the line of this file name and the click button of the mouse 5 is clicked, by executing steps 100 to 101 of the file name assigning process (Fig. 5), as shown in Fig. 12. In the file name box B1
A file name assignment screen (FIG. 6) showing “ghtPiano '” is displayed on the display 6. Here, in the file name'BrightPiano ',' Acoust
Move the cursor to'P 'where the word ic' should be inserted, and then move the mouse 5 down (after that, the mouse 5 can be moved up while the cursor is in an appropriate position. ). Then, by executing the steps 202 to 203 of the mouse down process (FIG. 7), as shown in FIG.
The word'P 'is displayed in parentheses.

Next, the POP UP MENU box B
Of 3 (3a-3g), 'Acoustic (A
The mouse 5 is moved down after moving the cursor into the NameAB box B3b in which the word C) 'is present.
Then, step 20 of'mouse down processing '(Fig. 7)
By executing steps 4 to 205, the POP UP MENU (FIG. 9) corresponding to the NameA-B box is displayed on the display 6. Next, with the mouse 5 kept down, the keyword'Acou in line L
The cursor is moved to "stic (AC) 'and the mouse 5 is moved up. Then, by executing steps 303 to 306 of the "mouse-up process" (Fig. 11), the word "Acoustic" is inserted immediately before "P" in the file name box B1 as shown in Fig. 14. The word'BrightAcousticPiano 'is displayed. Next, the cursor is moved into the OK box B4 and the mouse 5 is moved down (subsequent up of the mouse 5 may be performed with the cursor at an appropriate position). Then, by executing steps 206 to 208 of the “mouse down process” (FIG. 7), the file name “BrightPiano” of the file recorded in the disk device 3 becomes “Bright.
Changed to tAcousticPiano '.

Next, as another operation example of this file name assigning device, the file names of the files recorded in the disk device 3 are changed from "BR PF" which is an abbreviation of "Bright Piano" to "Bright Acoustic".
An example of changing to “BR AC PF” which is an abbreviation for Piano will be described. With the file selection screen (Fig. 2) displayed on the display 6, display the file name'BR_PF 'on the screen, move the cursor to this file name line, and click the mouse 5 click button. Step 1 of the granting process (FIG. 5)
By executing steps 00 to 101, the file name'BR_P is displayed in the file name box B1 as shown in FIG.
A file name assignment screen (FIG. 6) in which F'is displayed is displayed on the display 6 (_ indicates a word division).

Since it is necessary to use abbreviations here, s
The cursor is moved into the halt check box B2 to move the mouse 5 down and up. Then, by executing the steps 200 to 201 of the "mouse down process" (FIG. 7) and the steps 300 to 302 of the "mouse up process" (FIG. 11), the mode using the abbreviation is entered. Next, of the file name'BR_PF ',' A
The cursor is moved to'P 'where the word C'is to be inserted, and the mouse 5 is moved down (subsequent up of the mouse 5 may be performed with the cursor in an appropriate position). Then, by executing the steps 202 to 203 of the mouse down process (FIG. 7), the word'P 'is displayed in parentheses in the file name box B1 as shown in FIG.

Next, the POP UP MENU box B
Of 3 (3a-3g), 'Acoustic (A
The cursor is moved into the NameAB box B3b in which the word C) 'is present, and the mouse 5 is moved down. Then, step 204 of the "mouse down process" (Fig. 7)
Through 205, the POP UP MENU (FIG. 9) corresponding to the NameA-B box is displayed on the display 6. Next, with the mouse 5 kept down, the keyword'Acous in line L
Move the cursor over tic (AC) 'and move the mouse 5 up. Then, by executing steps 303 to 306 of the "mouse-up process" (FIG. 11), the word "AC" is inserted immediately before "P" in the file name box B1 as shown in FIG. Was done'BR
The word _AC_PF 'is displayed. Next, the cursor is moved into the OK box B4 and the mouse 5 is moved down (subsequent up of the mouse 5 may be performed with the cursor at an appropriate position). Then
Steps 206 to 2 of'mouse down processing '(FIG. 7)
By executing 08, the file name'BR_PF 'of the file recorded in the disk device 3 becomes'BR_
It is changed to AC_PF '.

In the above two operation examples, when the ordinary words "Bright" and "Piano" are used in the original file name, the same "Acousti" is used.
Change the file name by inserting the usual word'c 'and if the original file name used the abbreviations'BR', 'PF', also insert the abbreviation'AC '. By changing the file name. However, even if a normal word is used in the original file name, you may change the file name by inserting an abbreviation, or even if the original file name uses an abbreviation, Of course, you can rename the file by inserting ordinary words. As an example, in FIG. 18, the original file name is'Bright
By inserting the abbreviation'AC 'when the normal word'tPiano' is used, 'Bright_AC_Piano' in the file name box B1.
The word is displayed. As described above, according to this file name assigning device, the file name assigning operation can be performed easily and quickly. In addition, the file name of the correct term can be added to the file, and the term is standardized even when abbreviations are used, so many words can be searched by searching for the word included in the file name. Even when a specific type of file is searched from among the above files, the file can be searched for without leaking from the search target.

In this embodiment, the disk device 3 has already been used.
The file recorded in is selected on the file selection screen, and the file name of the file is changed by this file name assigning device. However, not limited to this, it goes without saying that a file name can be given to a file to be newly recorded in the disk device 3 by this file name giving device. When it is desired to give a file name to a file to be newly recorded as described above, as an example, the file name giving process (FIG. 5) is started without going through the file selection screen as shown in FIG. After displaying the file name giving screen (FIG. 6) in which nothing is displayed in the file name box B1 on the display 6, the subsequent steps may be executed.

Further, in this embodiment, the operator performs various operations by clicking the mouse 5, but the present invention is not limited to this, and various operations can be performed by the keyboard 4 or another operator not shown. Of course, it's good.

Further, in this embodiment, the present invention is adopted in the case where the data sampled by the sampler 1 is recorded in the disk device 3 built in the sampler 1, but the invention is not limited to this, and the sampler 1 samples the data. It is needless to say that the present invention may be applied to what records data in an external storage device (not shown) of the personal computer 2.

Further, in this embodiment, the present invention is applied to the personal computer 2 which is the upper control device to execute the file processing, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the microcomputer of the sampler 1 itself. The present invention may be applied to a device that executes file processing. In that case, the list of keywords is stored in the main storage device of this microcomputer, and the sampler 1 itself is provided with a display means for displaying the list and an appropriate operator for performing various operations. You can do this.

Further, although the present invention is applied to the sampler 1 (and the personal computer 2 which is the host controller) in this embodiment, other electronic musical instruments having a file recording / reproducing function (for example, a synthesizer). The present invention may be applied to other electronic devices other than music electronic devices.

[0030]

As described above, according to the file name assigning apparatus of the present invention, a word selected from a list prepared in advance in a music electronic device or other electronic device having a data file recording / reproducing function. Alternatively, a file name using a combination of words can be given to the file.
Therefore, firstly, there is an excellent effect that the work of assigning a file name can be performed easily and quickly. Secondly, since it becomes possible to assign a file name with an accurate term to a file, searching for a word included in the file name will search for a specific type of file among many files. Also in this case, there is an excellent effect that the file can be searched for without being leaked from the search target.

Further, a specifying means for arbitrarily specifying which of a normal word and an abbreviation of the normal word to be used as the file name is further provided, and the display means is used as the file name. A list of ordinary words to be used and a list of words to be used as an abbreviation for the ordinary word are displayed, and the selecting means, in accordance with the designation by the designating means, displays a list of these ordinary words If you select from one of them, even if you use an abbreviation as a file name, the terms are unified, so you can search for the file without leaking it from the search target. . Furthermore, in this case,
By further including insertion means for automatically inserting a predetermined code between words when the selection means selects from the list of abbreviations, even when using abbreviations,
The code has an excellent effect that the operator can easily understand the word separation.
