Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce the record quantity of picture data by storing a drawing containing no different types of character pictures as an original drawing in case plural types of picture data containing different types of character pictures on a common screen. CONSTITUTION:When different dimensional specifications, for example, are written on a common screen, a screen containing no dimensional specifications is recorded on an optical disk 11 as an original drawing. The dimensional specifications of each drawing are recorded on a floppy disk device 12 as the character data together with the character output position data showing the position to be written on the drawing. In a reproduction mode of the screen, a control part 18 reads the picture data on the original drawing out of the disk 11 and writes it on a picture buffer memory 14. Then the character data on the dimensional specifications on each drawing and the character output position data are read out of the device 12 and written on a proper area of a picture buffer memory 14. Thus the synthesized picture data is obtained.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Technical field of invention] The present invention relates to an image file device using an optical disk or the like.

[Technical background of the invention and its problems] Image file devices using optical disks are often used to record and store drawings such as blueprints, but the drawings recorded at this time include As shown in the figures, there are many drawings in which the external shapes are the same and only the dimensions of each part are shown. In the conventional image file WAH, all such drawings having the same external shape and differing only in the dimensions of each part are recorded as separate images.

In this way, with conventional image file devices, not only drawings but also images that differ only in some text parts must be recorded as separate images, resulting in an increase in consumption records and an increase in registration and search time. There was a problem.

[Object of the Invention] The present invention has been made based on the above-mentioned circumstances, and is capable of reducing the consumption record of image data when recording a plurality of image data in which different character images are added to a common image, and The present invention provides an image file device that reduces registration and search time.

[Summary of the Invention] As shown in FIG. 1, the present invention is an image file device that records a plurality of image data in which different character images are added to a common screen. an image data recording section 1 that records a plurality of character data in association with character output position data, and a character data recording section 2 that records specific image data recorded in the image data recording section 1 and the character data recording section. an output command unit 3 for instructing the reading of specific character data recorded in the character data recording unit 2; a character image data generation unit 4 for converting the character data read from the character data recording unit 2 into character image data; The image data synthesis section 5 synthesizes the image data read from the recording section and the character image data generated by the character image data generation section 4 based on the character output position data, and the image data synthesis section 5 synthesizes the image data. By having an output unit 6 that outputs the synthesized image data as an image, when recording a plurality of image data obtained by adding different character images to a common image, it is possible to keep the image data consumption record m. This reduces registration and search time.

[Embodiments of the invention] Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 2 is a schematic configuration diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment includes an optical disk device 11 that records image data, a floppy disk device 12 that records character data and character output position data, a character generator 13 that generates character patterns from character data, and a character generator 13 that generates character patterns from character data. It is composed of an image buffer memory 14 for compositing, a display device @ 15 and a printer 16 for outputting images, a keyboard 17 for input by the user using this image file device, and a control section 18 for controlling each of these devices. has been done.

The recording and reproducing process of this embodiment is carried out as follows.

If the drawings shown in FIG. 6 are to be recorded, each drawing shows a disk, and each part has a different diameter, plate thickness, and material as dimensions.

When recording this on the image file device of this embodiment, first, a drawing without dimensional specifications as shown in FIG. 4 is used as an original drawing and is recorded on the optical disk device 11.

Dimension specifications of each drawing are written as character data, along with character output position data indicating the position to be written on the drawing.
It is recorded on the floppy disk device 12 in the format shown in the figure.

When reproducing the drawing next time, the control section 18 reads out the image data of the original drawing from the optical disk device M11 and writes it into the image buffer memory 14, as shown in FIG. Next, the control section 18 reads character data of the dimensions of each figure from the floppy disk device 12, displays it on the display device 15, and prompts selection of appropriate dimensions. The control unit 18 outputs the dimensions selected by the keyboard 17 to the character generator 1.
Based on the character output position data read from the floppy disk device δ12, an appropriate area of the image buffer 7 memory 14 is overwritten to complete the composite image data.

Finally, the control unit 18 sends the completed composite image data to the printer 16 or display device 15, and
6 or the display device 15 outputs this and finishes the reproduction.

Note that the present invention can be used not only when recording an image in which a character image is superimposed on a common image at a suitable position as in the above embodiment, but also when recording an image in which a character image is superimposed on a common image at a different position. can.

[Effects of the Invention] According to the present invention, in an image file device, when recording a plurality of image data consisting of a common image and different character images, it is possible to reduce the number of recording layers consumed and shorten the registration and search time. It became.
