Next, the operation will be described. FIG. 4 is a flowchart explaining the main processing according to the present embodiment,
5 is a flow chart for explaining the file registration process, FIG. 6 is a flow chart for explaining the mark setting process, FIG. 7 is a flow chart for explaining the registration process, and FIG. 8 is a flow chart for explaining the file search and display process. 9 to 15 are diagrams for explaining the operation procedure in the file registration process, and FIGS. 16 to 17 are diagrams for explaining the operation procedure in the file search and display process. The following operation is controlled by the CPU 6, but each operation is performed by each unit coupled to the CPU 6.

In the electronic device 1, the power source SW1 is already available.
When the power is turned on by the operation 1 and the processing enters the flowchart shown in FIG. 4, the initial screen is displayed on the LCD display unit 2 in step S1. At that time, what is displayed is a menu.

In this way, when the menu is displayed in step S1, the presence / absence of a key input in the key input unit 5 is subsequently detected in step S2. If the key input is not detected in step S1, the process proceeds to step S7, and the operation of the power supply SW11 is detected this time. When the operation of the power supply SW11 is detected in this step S7, since the operation instructs the power-off, the main processing is ended by the power-off. Also,
When a key input in the key input unit 5 is detected in step S2, steps S3, S4, S5, and S are performed.
In 6, a process of determining which of the registration key 52, the search key 53, the menu key 56, and the function key 57 is touch-input is performed.

As a result, when the determination result that the registration key 52 is touch-inputted is obtained, the processing shifts to step S8, and the file registration processing according to the flowchart shown in FIG. 5 is executed. Further, when the determination result that the search key 53 is touch-inputted is obtained, the process proceeds to step S9N to execute the file search and display process according to the flowchart shown in FIG. Also,
When the determination result that the menu key 56 is touch-inputted is obtained, the process proceeds to step S10, but since the menu display is already performed at this point, the process directly exits step S10 and the step is performed. Return to S2. Further, when the determination result that the function key 57 is touch-inputted is obtained, the process proceeds to step S11, and a process corresponding to a function such as a clock and a memo is executed.
When the processes of steps S8 to S11 above are completed, the process returns to step S2 again.

Next, the file registration process of step S8 will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 to 7 and 9 to 15. At this stage, the external device is already using the external input I /
It is assumed that they are connected via F9.

In the file registration process, first, step S
At 51, the image data FD1 is captured from the external device via the external input I / F 9. This image data FD
1 is stored in the image memory 84 of the RAM 8 and is bitmap-developed in the display memory 86. As a result, for example, as shown in FIG. 9, the person image IMG1 is displayed and formed on the LCD display unit 2.

In the following step S52, the presence / absence of coordinate input from the coordinate input unit 3 is detected. However, at this stage, since there is no mark display, the presence / absence of touch input of the mark setting key 51 in the next step S57. To be detected.
If the touch input of the mark setting key 51 is not detected, the process proceeds to step S63 to confirm the end of this process. For example, when the menu key 56 or the function key 57 is touch-input, this is used as an interrupt process and the menu display process shown in FIG. 4 (step S
10) and the processing corresponding to the function (step S11) is forcibly executed, and when the registration key 52 is touch-input again, the processing is forcibly returned to the main processing as the end without registering, and these If there is no touch input, the process returns from step S63 to step S52.

As shown in FIG. 9, when a touch input is made on the mark setting key 51 with the input pen 4, the operation is detected in step S57, and the following step S57 is performed.
At 58, mark setting processing (see FIG. 6) is executed. The mark setting process will be described below with reference to FIG.

In the mark setting process (FIG. 6), step S
In 71 to S73, although not shown, a plurality of different marks (for example, ...) are displayed based on the mark display data prepared in advance in the mark display data memory 72, and the up, down, left, and right of the cursor key 55 are displayed. Touch operation in each direction to move the cursor between the display marks, and press the Enter key 5
A process of fixing the display mark at the cursor position when the touch input of No. 4 is detected as the setting mark is performed.

However, if the mark is not confirmed in steps S71 to S73, the person image IMG at the position corresponding to the memo information is displayed as shown in FIG.
It suffices to input the coordinates to indicate the area by surrounding the shoe portion in 1 (hatched portion in FIG. 10) with the input pen 4, and the memo registration position is specified by this coordinate input. By this operation, the mark display data MK corresponding to the shoe part
11 is generated and temporarily stored in the work memory of the RAM 8. In the following step S74, coordinate position data is input from the handwritten locus on the coordinate input unit 3 of the input pen 4, and in step S75 the input coordinate position data is determined as memo registration position data (mark display position data). To be done.

As described above, when the desired mark is not determined from the marks prepared in advance in steps S71 to S73, it corresponds to the mark directly from the person image IMG1 by using the input pen 4 as shown in FIG. A position is designated, and a part of the designated position (in the case of designation by a point) or a designated region (in the case of designation by a locus) is determined as the mark display position. Further, when a desired mark is determined from the marks prepared in advance in steps S71 to S73, the coordinate position (designated by a point) detected in step S74 is treated as a position for displaying the determined mark. Be seen.

As described above, the mark display position determined by the operation of the input pen 4 serves as a memo registration position because it becomes a point or area where the memo information can be opened by designating the position. is there. Therefore, the mark display position is stored in the file data memory 85 as memo registration position data. In the example of FIG. 10, the shoe portion (mark display data MK11) is the mark display position, so that data is temporarily stored in the work memory of the RAM 8 as the memo registration position data MRP11.

Next, when the processing shifts to step S76, this time, a memo input screen MD for inputting memo information is formed on the LCD display section 2 as shown in FIG. The process ends. After that, the process returns to the file registration process (FIG. 5) and executes step S59.

On the memo input screen MD, a memo display column I
MI and soft keyboard SKB are displayed. The soft keyboard SKB is displayed and formed on the LCD display unit 2 by software, and as shown in FIG.
Various keys such as number keys (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 ...), alphabet keys (A, B, C, D, E ...), line feed (Enter) key, space key and the like are included. When a touch input is sequentially made to each key of the soft keyboard SKB with the input pen 4, characters corresponding to the input key are sequentially displayed in the memo display field IMI.

As a concrete example of step S59, for example,
Using the input pen 4, as shown in FIG. 11, from the soft keyboard SKB, “SIZE 26 cm (line feed) store” is displayed.
When "ABC department store (line feed)" is entered by key input, "SIZE" is displayed in the memo display field IMI in response to the key input.
26 cm (line feed) ABC department store (line feed) "is displayed.

At this stage, when the execution key 54 is touch-input with the input pen 4, it is judged that the instruction is the end of the memo information input in the shoe portion (the position of the mark display data MK11), and the LCD display unit 2 The display screen of is switched from the memo input screen MD shown in FIG. 11 to the screen shown in FIG. 10 again, and the processing shifts to step S60. At that time, in the work memory of the RAM 8, the memo information displayed in the memo display field IMI is the memo registration position data MRP11 and the mark display data MK as the memo information data MI11.
It is stored corresponding to 11. When the execution key 54 is further touch-inputted by the input pen 4 in step S60, the instruction is determined to be the end of the mark setting, and the process proceeds to step S61.

In step S61, the presence / absence of touch input of the registration key 52 is detected. If there is no touch input, the process returns to step S52 again. If the coordinate input is detected in step S52 and the coordinate input position is the shoe portion MK11 as shown in FIG. 12, the shoe portion (mark display data MK11) is marked in step S53. Since it is a display, the process proceeds to step S54. In step S54, the memo information data MI11 corresponding to the shoe portion (mark display data MK11) is stored in the work memory (RAM8).
As shown in FIG. 12, the memo information (memo information data MI11) is displayed as “SIZE 26 cm store ABC department store”. In this way, when the mark display position is touch-input at the position of the input pen 4 (A), the memo information corresponding to the mark display position is displayed on the same screen,
After that, the process proceeds to step S61.

When a touch input is made at the position of the input pen 4 (B), that is, in the area of the memo information (memo information data MI11) in the display state shown in FIG. 12, the coordinate input is detected in step S52. Then, the process proceeds to step S55 via step S53. In this step S55, it is determined that the touch input position is the display position of the memo information (memo information data MI11), and in the following step S56, the memo information (memo information data MI11).
Processing for closing the display of 11) is performed. After that, the process proceeds to step S61.

When memo information is set at other positions on the person image IMG1 as well, the above-mentioned steps S57-S57.
As shown in FIG. 9, the mark setting key 51 is touch-input again as shown in FIG. 9 in the procedure of S60, and as shown in FIG.
Or the input pen 4 so that it encloses the shaded area in FIG.
And run the shirt to set the mark as the mark display position. In this case, the display position of the shirt portion is stored in the memo registration position data MRP12, and the shirt shape thereof is stored in the mark display data MK12.

When the memo information is divided into two stages (insert a line feed key) and is key-inputted from the soft keyboard SKB, as shown in FIG. 13, the shirt portion of the person image IMG1 (mark display data MK12). When is input by touching, the memo information (memo information data MI12) corresponding to the shirt portion is displayed, for example, “SIZE 38-80”.

When the memo information is keyed in one step from the soft keyboard SKB, when the shirt portion (mark display data MK12) of the person image IMG1 is touch-input, as shown in FIG. The memo information (memo information data MI12) corresponding to the shirt portion is displayed as, for example, "SIZE 38-80".

In this way, the person image IMG1 is associated with the shoe portion (mark display data MK11), the shirt portion (mark display data MK12), and the tie portion (mark display data MK13) not shown, respectively. After the memo information data MI11, MI12, and MI13 are input, as shown in FIG. 15, if the registration key 52 is touched, the file data memory 85 is input.
The registration process for is started. That is, step S
When the touch input of the registration key 52 is detected at 61, the process proceeds to step S62 to execute the registration process shown in FIG. After this registration processing, the processing returns to the main processing.

Now, when the processing shifts to the registration processing, FIG.
As shown in, the file name input processing is executed in step S81. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 15, the LCD display unit 2 displays a file name input screen FI for inputting a file name.

Also in this case, the soft keyboard SKB is displayed as in the case of the memo input screen MD described above, and here, the file name display field FNI is displayed above the soft keyboard SKB. Then, when a touch input is sequentially performed on each key of the soft keyboard SKB with the input pen 4, the characters corresponding to the input key are sequentially displayed in the file name display field FNI.

As a concrete example of step S81, for example,
As shown in FIG. 15, when the "Fashion Catalog" is keyed in using the input pen 4 from the soft keyboard SKB, the "Fashion Catalog" is displayed in the file name display field FNI in correspondence with the key input. Is displayed.

At this stage, if the execution key 54 is touch-input with the input pen 4 (step S82), it is determined that the instruction is the end of the input of the file name in the current file, and the process proceeds to step S83. This step S
In FIG. 83, the fashion name “fashion” displayed in the fashion name display field FNI is used as the fashion name data FN1 and the person image IMG1 is used as the image data FD1. It is stored in association with 1.

In the following step S84, the file No.
With respect to No. 1, whether or not there is memo information, that is, whether or not the memo information data is temporarily stored in the work memory is determined. This file No. In 1, the memo information (memo information data MI11, MI12, MI13) is input to the shoe portion (mark display data MK11), the shirt portion (mark display data MK12), and the tie portion (mark display data MK13), respectively. Since it is determined that the memo information is present, the process proceeds to step S.
Move to 85. In this step S85, the file N
o. The data of the memo registration position, the memo information, and the mark display are associated with each other with a corresponding relationship at the time of registration. That is, as shown in FIG. 3, in the memo registration position data MRP11, the memo information data MI11 and the mark display data MK11 are stored in association with each other. Similarly, in the memo registration position data MRP12 and MRP13,
The memo information MI11 and MI12 and the mark display data MK11 and MK12 are stored in association with each other.

Then, in step S86, the newly registered file No. Is updated by one (n = n + 1), and the file number. No. 1 to No. Change to 2. After this, the process once returns to the file registration process (FIG. 5) and then returns to the main process (FIG. 4).

Next, the file search and display processing will be described with reference to FIGS. 8 and 16 to 21. In the file search and display process, as shown in FIG. 8, first, in step S91, a process of specifying a file name to be opened is executed. In this case, an input screen FNI similar to that shown in FIG. 15 is displayed in the file name registration process described above. In the input screen FNI, when a touch input is sequentially made to each key of the soft keyboard SKB with the input pen 4, characters corresponding to the input key are sequentially displayed in the file name display field FNI.

As a concrete example of step S91, for example,
When the “construction site” is keyed in from the soft keyboard SKB using the input pen 4, the “construction site” is displayed in the file name display field FNI in correspondence with the key input, although not shown. .

At this stage, when the execution key 54 is touch-input with the input pen 4 (step S92), it is judged that the instruction is the end of the designation of the file name, and the designated file name "construction site" is the temporary work. Stored in memory. Then, a process transfers to step S93.

In step S93, a process of searching the file name data registered in the file data memory 85 for the file name data indicating the designated file name "construction site" is executed. As a result, the file No. When the search result that the file name data FN2 stored in association with No. 2 corresponds to the file name “construction site” (see FIG. 3), the file No. Image data FD2 and memo registration position data MR stored in association with No. 2
P21, MRP22, and mark display data MK2
1, MK22 are read.

In the following step S94, first, the construction site image IMG2 is displayed and formed based on the image data FD2. This file No. In No. 2, since the memo information data exists, the process further proceeds to step S96, and the number “” based on the mark display data MK21 is displayed at the memo registration position (coordinate position) based on the memo registration position data MRP1. Similarly, the numeral “” based on the mark display data MK22 is displayed and formed at the memo registration position (coordinate position) based on the memo registration position data MRP2.

Then, the process proceeds to step S97,
For example, when the key input of the search key 53 is detected again, this is changed to the display file and the step S9 is performed again.
The process moves to the process of specifying the file name of 1. If no key input of the search key 53 is detected in step S97, it is determined that there is no file change, and the process is performed in step S
Move to 98. Construction site image IMG2 shown in FIG.
When the touch input is performed with the input pen 4 on the number “” (mark display data MK21) above, step S98.
In step S99, since coordinate position data is input when the coordinate input is detected,
The coordinate position data is the memo registration position data MRP2.
1 or MRP22 is determined. As a result, the number "" (mark display data MK2
1) Memo registration position data MRP indicating the position to display
21 is found, and the process proceeds to step S10 to open the memo information corresponding to the numeral "".
Move to 0.

If the coordinate input position does not correspond to either the number "" (mark display data MK21) or the number "" (mark display data MK22), the process proceeds to step S101, and this time. , It is determined whether the display position of the memo information is touch-input. However, since the memo information is not displayed yet, it is determined in this case that the memo information is not touch input, the process proceeds to step S103, and the end of this process is confirmed. For example, when the menu key 56 or the function key 57 is touch-input, this is used as an interrupt process and the menu display process (step S10) and the process corresponding to the function (step S11) shown in FIG. If the search key 53 is touch-input again after being executed, this process is terminated and the process is forcibly returned to the main process. If there is no touch input, the process returns from step S103 to step S97. .

In step S100, the memo information data MI21 stored in correspondence with the memo registration position data MRP21 is stored in the file data memory 85.
When read from the memo information data MI21, the memo information data MI21 as shown in FIG.
For example, the display is formed as "4F Izakaya 4: 00-00".

Thereafter, the processing shifts to step S103 and step S97, and the presence / absence of coordinate input is detected again in the following step S98. At this time, when the memo information based on the memo information data MI21 is touch-input, it is determined in step S101 that the touch input is for the display position of the memo information, and the process is step S
Move to 102. In step S102, the display of the memo information based on the memo information data MI21 is closed, and the process proceeds to the next step S103.

When the end is confirmed in step S103 in this way, the process returns to the main process in response to the touch-operated key.

Also, for example, when the souvenir photo image IMG3 shown in FIG. 17 is retrieved and displayed, the display of the memo information for the construction site image IMG2 can be opened and closed. In the example shown in FIG. 17, the number “” (mark display data MK31), the number “” (mark display data MK32) and the number “” (mark display data MK33) are used to input the number “” (mark The display data MK31) is selected and designated, and as a result, the memo information (memo information data MI31) corresponding to the number “” (mark display data MK31) is, for example, “Ichiro Suzuki TEL 1234-56-7890”.
