Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

The present invention relates to an electronic document management apparatus, an electronic document management method, and a recording medium on which an electronic document management program is recorded. More specifically, when storing data created in a document, a drawing creating device, or an image processing device, it is possible to distinguish between document data having the same document name, and to register data with the same document name. The present invention relates to an electronic document management apparatus, an electronic document management method, and a recording medium on which an electronic document management program is recorded, in which an updated document of an old document and a new document can be stored separately.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in order to save a document created by a document creation device such as a personal computer or a word processor or an electronic document such as image data created by an image processing device or the like in a storage device, the created document is In general, a predetermined name is given, and this is stored as an identifier in one-to-one correspondence with the created document. FIG. 1 shows a configuration of a general document creation apparatus. As shown in FIG. 1, the document creation device includes an input / output device 101 for inputting and displaying a document, a control device 102 for controlling storage of an input document in a storage device, controlling access to a stored document, and the like. Is stored in the storage device 103. The document input in the input / output device 101 is given a predetermined name as an identifier, and the storage device 1
03 is stored.

FIG. 2 shows an example of the structure of a general document stored in the storage device 103. Each created document, that is, the document A in FIG. 2 and the like, together with other related documents B and C, form an aggregate as a folder (or directory) as one group, and are stored as documents in the folder. The documents K, L, and M are stored as documents constituting another folder Q different from the folder P. These folders can be arbitrarily created by a document creator, and can be newly created and saved when, for example, predetermined document units are collectively saved.

However, in a file system such as UNIX, a plurality of document files having the same name cannot be stored in the same folder (or directory). Therefore, if a file with the same name is copied to a directory in which a document file with the same name already exists, the file previously in the directory is overwritten and deleted.

On the other hand, there is an XNS file system of Xerox Corporation as a system capable of storing a plurality of files having the same name in the same folder. In the XNS system, when files having the same name are stored in the same folder, different version numbers are assigned to identify the files. However, this XNS
The version number assigned by the system is such that serial numbers are assigned sequentially to files having the same name. This is because even if a file with the same file name but the content is completely different in the same folder is added,
Also, when a file that has been in a folder before is modified and re-saved, a new version number is assigned and saved without distinction. Therefore, referring to the file name and version number in the folder, it is determined whether each file is a document having different contents or whether the file has been saved as an update file of the previously created file of the old version. Discrimination becomes impossible.

[0006]

When a document is to be stored in a storage device in a conventional electronic document management apparatus as described above, a document having the same name cannot exist in one directory or folder in a UNIX system or the like. . Also, in a configuration in which the same-named documents are sequentially assigned different version numbers and the same-named file can be saved, as in the above-described XNS system, a file having new contents and an updated file have one and the same name. If they existed in a folder or directory, they could not be identified. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to eliminate such disadvantages of the conventional electronic document management device.

More specifically, when a document file having the same name as a document file already existing in the folder is saved, a history identifier for identifying the history of the document file is set and registered, thereby saving the saved file. An electronic document management apparatus, an electronic document management method, and an electronic document management program that can distinguish whether a document is a new document or an updated document obtained by modifying a document file previously stored in a storage device. A recording medium is provided.

FIG. 4 shows an example of a document management table stored in the storage device 306, and FIG. 5 shows an example of a document history table similarly stored in the storage device 306. The document management table shown in FIG. 4 has fields of a document number as a document identifier, a folder number, a document name, and an identification number as a data identifier. The document number field is a field for setting a number as a document identifier for uniquely identifying each document registered in the document management table, and a new document number is assigned to a newly registered document in the document management table. You.
The folder number field is a field for setting a number as a folder identifier for identifying a folder in which each document is stored. The document name field is a field for setting a name given to each document. The identification number field is a field for setting an identification number as a data identifier set for each document history table record in the document history table of FIG. Although an example in which a number is given as each identifier is shown, these identifiers are not limited to numbers, and any other data can be used as long as the data can distinguish each record. .

The document history table shown in FIG. 5 is provided with fields of an identification number as a data identifier, a document number as a document identifier, a history number as a history identifier, and a document data address. The identification number field is a field for setting a number as a data identifier for uniquely identifying each document registered in the document history table, and a new identification number is assigned to a newly registered document in the document history table. The document number field is a field for setting a number corresponding to the document number in the document management table of FIG. The history number field is a field for setting a number as a history identifier indicating a history between documents having the same document number, and newly added to a document already stored in the storage device and given a document number by making a change or the like. In the case of storing the updated document, the same document number as the original document number is given to the updated document, and a new history number is given and registered in the document history table.

A document having a history number of 2 or more, that is, a document having an identification number 2 in the example of the document history table shown in FIG. 5, has the same document number as the document having an identification number "1" and has a different value as the history number. A certain “2” is given. This is the identification number "1"
Indicates that this document is an updated document. When the document with the identification number “1” or the identification number “2” is further modified and newly stored, a new identification number “3” is added and registered in the document history table, and then +1 is sequentially added. A new history number is set. The document data address field is a field in which document position data for identifying a storage position in the storage device of the document data registered in the document history table is set, such as a data address, a file name, etc., directly or indirectly in the storage device. Is set to indicate the storage location of the corresponding document in. Note that the identifiers shown in FIG. 5 are not limited to numbers as in the case of the identifiers in FIG. 4, and other data may be used as long as the data can distinguish each record.

Record registration in the document management table shown in FIG. 4 and the document history table shown in FIG. 5 and the relationship between the tables will be described. The addition of a record to the document history table is performed when a new document is stored in the storage device, that is, an identification number is added as a new data identifier regardless of whether the stored document is a new document or an updated document. Is registered as a simple document history table record. For the new document history table record, if the document to be saved is an updated document, the same document number as the document number set in the document history table record for the saved document already saved in the storage device and to be updated A number is set in the document number field, and the number of the maximum history number + 1 of documents having the same document number already registered in the document history table is assigned to the history number field. On the other hand, if the document to be saved is a new document that is not an update of the saved document, a new document number not set in the document history table is set in the document number field, and the history number is set as the history number in the history number field. Set “1”.

The document management table is constituted by records of only documents having the maximum value of the history numbers for documents having the same document number in the document history table. Each value of the identification number field in each document management table record of the document management table is linked to the setting value of the identification number field of the corresponding document history table record in the document history table, and the document in each document management table record of the document management table is linked. The number is linked to the document number of the corresponding document management table record in the document history table, and the same value is set. When a new document is input from the input device 301 in FIG. 3 and stored in the storage device, or when a stored document is updated and the updated document is stored in the storage device 307, the above-described document management table and document history are used. Records are added to or updated in the table. Hereinafter, the execution flow at the time of document storage will be described with reference to FIGS.

FIG. 6 shows a flowchart for executing the storage of a new document, and FIG. 7 shows a flowchart for updating the document already stored in the storage device and storing it in the storage device.

First, each step in FIG. 6 will be described.
When saving a new document, the user who operates the input device inputs electronic document data, a document name, and a folder number, which are the entities of the created document, in step 601. The user can arbitrarily set the document name and the folder number. Step 6
At 02, the document is stored in the storage device.

In step 603, registration in the document management table and the document history table is executed. Here, the document stored in the storage device is a new document, and therefore is registered in the document management table and the document history table in the form of adding a new record. In step 604, values are set in the fields of the document management table record and the document history table record added in step 603.

A new document number unique in the document management table is assigned to the document number field of the new record of the added document management table. The folder number field specifies the folder number previously specified by the user, the document name field specifies the document name specified by the user,
The same number as the number set in the identification number field of the document history table is set in the identification number field.

On the other hand, the setting of each field of the additional record of the document history table is executed as follows. A new unique identification number within the document history table is set in the identification number field. The same number as the document number of the corresponding document in the document management table is set in the document number field. Since the document is a new document, "1" is set in the history number field. In the document data address field, an address as document position data capable of identifying the position of the storage device storing the new document, a file name, or the like is set.

As described above, in the case of saving a new document, a new record is added to both the document management table and the document history table, and the value of each field is set.

Next, referring to FIG. 7, a description will be given of a flow in the case where a document already stored in the storage device is corrected and newly stored, that is, a flow of updating the document.

When the update document is stored, the user who operates the input device inputs, in step 701, the electronic document data and the document number to be updated with respect to the update document. The update target document number is a document number that has already been set for the document to be updated. At step 702, the document is stored on the storage device.

At step 703, a record is added to the document history table. A new record is added to the document history table whether the stored document is a new document or an updated document. Next, in step 704, each field of the additional record in the document history table is set. A new unique identification number within the document history table is set in the identification number field. In the document number field, the same number as the document number in the document management table of the document to be updated is set. In the history number field, a value obtained by adding "1" to the maximum value set in the history number field in the registered data having the same document number in the document history table is set. For example, if there are five pieces of registration data having the same document number in the document history table and the maximum registration history number is “5”, “6” is set as the history number of the new record. Also, if there is data that has been updated first and then deleted, for example, there may be five registered data having the same document number in the document history table and the maximum registered history number is “7”. In this case, "8" is set as the history number of the new record. With this setting, the data having the maximum history number can always be the latest update data. In the document data address field, an address as document position data capable of identifying the position of the storage device storing the new document, a file name, or the like is set.

Next, in step 705, each field value of the record of the document number for which the document management table has been updated is changed. This is to change the value of the identification number field of the document number record to be updated to the same value as the value of the identification number newly added and set in the document history table in steps 703 and 704. .

As described above, when an updated document is stored, a new record is added only to the document history table. In the document management table, the value of the identification number field of the registration data having the same document number as the document to be updated is set. Only changes are made and no record addition is performed.

The flow shown in FIG. 6 and the flow shown in FIG. 7 can be executed by a program stored in a storage device in the electronic document management device of the present invention.
These electronic document management programs can be stored and installed in various types of recording media such as FDs and CDs.

[0040]

As described above, according to the electronic document management apparatus and the electronic document management method of the present invention, a unique identification number is set and registered for documents having the same name. It is possible to store documents with the same name in the same directory or folder in the storage device.

Further, according to the electronic document management apparatus and the electronic document management method of the present invention, a unique identification number is set for documents having the same name, and each of the identification number, document number, history number, and document data address is set. Since the registered document is managed by the document history table in which the fields are set and the document management table in which the document number, identification number, folder number, and document name fields are set, the stored document name in the storage device is Even if they are the same, a new document and an updated document can be distinguished.

Further, according to the electronic document management device and the electronic document management method of the present invention, when the created document is stored in the storage device, the created document is a new document or the created document is already stored in the storage device. Since the storage procedure is set differently from the case where the document is an updated document, it is easy to determine whether the document stored in the storage device is a new document or an updated document.
