Abstract

PURPOSE:To accept an image processing request from self device or another terminal device while interrupting processing being executed at present by providing a page buffer, compressing and expanding circuit, etc. CONSTITUTION:If the image processing request is generated on a keyboard 23 or from a communication controller 26 while a main controller 1 processes image information, the image processing being executed is interrupted and its state is stored to start necessary interruption processing. Namely, image information, etc., are stored temporarily in the controller 26 and the interruption processing requet is outputted to a CPU12 after data reception is completed. The CPU12 accepts it and checks input data. Then, image information read out of a magnetic disk 30 is stored in the page buffer 14, band-compressed, unit by unit, by the compressing and expanding circuit 15, and supplied to and stored on an optical disk device 22. Thus, the image processing which is interrupted is restarted after the processing request is accepted.

An I-image information storage and retrieval device has been developed and put into practical use.

[Problems with background technology]

However, when the above-mentioned device executes an image processing request from C1, its own device, or another subgrade device from the communication control device, image processing from 110 terminals including its own device is required. We will no longer accept any requests. Therefore, there is a drawback that other terminal devices or the own device must continue to issue image processing requests even after the processing currently being executed has finished. I just looked at the second article 10hK, and the focus is on the current processing request from the self-installation unit or other terminal device 5. An object of the present invention is to provide an information storage and retrieval device that can interrupt processing and ask questions.

[Outline of the Invention] The present invention provides a method for processing images in a storage device during processing by a processing means that performs storage or retrieval directly in a storage device.

When input information such as a search code or processing information to a storage device is inputted by an input means, the processing is interrupted and the input information inputted by this input means is stored in a temporary storage unit. It is.

The magnetic disk device 29 stores data such as a search code and image information from the keyboard 23 or the two-dimensional scanning device 20 and received data such as the search code and image information supplied from the communication control device 26 on the magnetic disk 3θ. It is something. The magnetic disk 3θ is, for example, a fourth
As shown in the figure, unprocessed request number storage area 3o
1. Unprocessed request storage previous address storage area 3 that stores the unprocessed request storage start address (EMA)
o2, Empty request area start address storage area 3o that stores the Empty request area start address (MA)
3. Empty injury data area start address storage area 30 for storing all received data area start addresses (RA)
, a request storage area 3θ5 in which a plurality of requests can be stored, and a data storage area 306 in which business identification data indicating registration of each request, @search, search code, and image information are stored. Each of the above-mentioned requests is composed of a terminal device name, an II+-output number, a reception data storage start address, and a received data storage end address. In the upper H-pi data storage area 306, data is stored at each valley corresponding to the maximum storage capacity of the data.

Next, the operation of such a pumpkin will be explained with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIGS. 5 to 8. -! Sweet,
Registration of image information (description 1.) will be explained. For example, the user selects and sets the registration mode using the keyboard 23, and inputs the search code for the image (8) information to be registered. This search code is temporarily stored in a keypad memory (not shown).

Further, when a document is set on the two-dimensional scanning device 2o, the two-dimensional scanning device 2o two-dimensionally scans the image type 1 information such as the set document and photoelectrically converts it. This photoelectrically converted one-negative image one-image information is temporarily stored in a buffer memory (not shown).

At this time, the CRT display device 24 displays the following message: ``Please enter the search code and image after starting.''
The information is completely displayed.

Then, when the start key is pressed, if the CPU 12 is not currently processing interrupt processing 1.2, it determines that it is interrupt processing 1 (receiving data from the tsuma siggy board 23 and the two-dimensional scanning device 20 is processed), That is, the CPU 12 prohibits the interrupt processing 8!l and the interrupt processing 2 (that is, the processing for profit processing of data from the communication control device 626), and uses the magnetic disk device 29 to process the magnetic disk 3.
The own device name and call number are stored after the unprocessed request storage start address (MA) in the storage area 305 at 0, and the business identification indicating registration is stored after the idle request data storage start address (RA) in the storage area 3θ6. The data, the search code read from the keyboard memory, and the image information read from the buffer memory are stored. Further, the storage address in the storage area 306, that is, the reception data storage start address and the reception data storage end address are stored together with the corresponding data in the storage area 305. At this time, the storage area 3 of the magnetic disk 30
0. The number of unprocessed requests is updated by r + iJ, and the contents of the storage area 304 are updated by 1 received data storage end address + 1.
” and updates the contents of the storage area 303 to the last request storage address.

In addition, the A-board 23 selects and sets the search mode,
Enter the search code. This search code is temporarily stored in a keyboard memory (not shown). At this time, the CRT display unit 〆:-24 displays the following message: ``After entering the search code, please enter the start A-1 manually.'' Then, the start key is pressed. and C
If interrupt processing 1 and 2 are not being processed, the PU 12 determines that it is interrupt processing 1, and executes the processing in the same manner as in the case of registration described above.

First, registration of image information communicated from another terminal device (not shown) will be explained.

That is, image information and search codes transmitted from other terminal devices are temporarily stored in the communication control device 26.

Then, when the reception of the data is completed, the communication control device 26 outputs an interrupt processing request to the CPU 12. Then, if interrupt processing 1 and 2 are not being performed, the CPU 12 determines that it is interrupt processing 2, and executes that processing. That is, the CPU'12 prohibits input from the keyboard 23, and uses the magnetic disk device 29 to prevent the magnetic disk from spinning.
Store the terminal device name and call number after the unprocessed request start address in the storage area 305,
Received data from the communication control device 26, that is, business identification data, search code, and image information, are stored after the empty reception data storage head address in the memory IJ a3θ6.

Also, the storage address −+ in the storage area 306
= It is stored together with the data to be compared in the a storage area 305. At this time, the storage area 3 of the magnetic disk 30
The number of unprocessed requests in 01 is updated by 11, and the contents of memory IJA3θ4 are updated to 1 - received data storage end address + 1. The contents of the storage area 303 are updated to the request storage end address.

Then, when interrupt processing 1.2 ends, the CPU l
2 executes image processing. All right, CPU l 2
In the magnetic disk 30, the first address for storing unprocessed requests is removed from the area 3θ2, and only the business identification data in the received data is read out in response to requests after that address. If this business identification data is registered, the CPU
12, the validity of the input data is checked (redundancy check, CRC check) according to the format of the search code in which the search code is predefined, such as the number of digits and character type, and the search code that has already been registered is checked. Then, a check is made to see if two cars are registered, and if the result of these checks is a good search code, it is stored in the main memory 3. Then, the CPU 12 causes the image information read from the magnetic disk 30 to be stored in the target buffer 14. Then, the CPU 12 uses the compression/expansion circuit 15 to perform band compression on one unit of image information stored in the target buffer 14 as line information using the well-known MH (Modifier-Hoffman) transformation, and applies 1 to the compression. The line information is supplied to the optical disc device 22. As a result, the original disk device 22 stores the supplied both edge information on the optical disk 19.

When the storage of this image information is completed, the CPU 72
Track with elephant information memorized, strange rock, brain beginning sector, 1i1
1. Record addresses such as the length of the hoe in the main memory 13 in correspondence with the hoe code. @do.

Next, the CPU 12 supplies the search data stored in the main memo IJ 73, the search code, the trunk code, the length of the image, etc. to the floppy disk device 27.

As a result, the floppy disk device 27 stores the supplied search data on the floppy disk 28.

In this way, when the registration of the image information for the request is completed, the CPU 12 registers the information 1. on the magnetic disk 3θ. updates the contents of area 301 to 1-IJL and updates the contents of storage area 3θ2 to the start address of the next request.

If the financial affairs identification data for the request is a search, the CPU 72 reads the search code from the magnetic disk 30, sequentially compares it with the search code stored in the title memory 18, and checks whether the search code matches. Give a J-nick in sequence. For a matching search code, the start track code and start sector strange rock of the artist information corresponding to the search code are searched. And CPU l
2 causes the optical disk device 22 to reproduce the track on the optical disk 19 corresponding to the track band sequence. Then, the CPU 12 receives the image information (H
The original artist information is supplied to the compression/expansion circuit 15 for each scanning line, and band expansion is performed by forward/inverse conversion, and the original artist information is sequentially supplied to the target buffer 14. In this way, when all the image information for the page of image information is stored in the K-zipuffer 14, the CPU 12 displays the artist information when the name of the terminal device in the request read from the magnetic disk 3θ is the own device. When the terminal device is another terminal device, the call odd sequence is read out from the magnetic disk 30, and the communication control device 26 is used to display the image on the CRT and display device 24 using the communication control device 26. Submit your information and search code.

In this way, when the search or communication of artist information for a request is completed, the CPU 72 updates the contents of the storage area 3θ of the magnetic disk 3o to r-IJL, and updates the contents of the storage area 3o2 to the start address of the next request. do.

Note that even if the main control device 11 is processing image information, if a request is issued from the keyboard 23 or the communication control device 26, the ii! II When image processing is interrupted, the state at the time of interruption is saved, the corresponding interrupt processing is started, the request is accepted, and the interrupted image processing is resumed, the same operation as above is now performed. There is.

In the embodiment described above, the request and the data for the request are stored on the magnetic disk, but the present invention is not limited to this, and other storage media such as a large-capacity RAM may be used.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described in detail above, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide an image information storage and retrieval device that can interrupt the currently executing process and accept an image processing request from the device itself or another terminal device.
