Abstract

PURPOSE:To identify the propriety of a replaceable storage means by making use of specific time information on a time point when a cabinet name of documents is given or the specific information on the production number of the replaceable storage medium to be used as the cabinet identifying information. CONSTITUTION:When an operator supplies a cabinet name through a keyboard 10, values (year, month, day, hour, minute and second) that specify the input time point of the cabinet name is read out of a timepiece means 15 and written on the corresponding optical disk 1 as the cabinet identifying information. Here the coincidence of collation is secured as conventional for said cabinet identifying information. However the specific time information is newly added as the cabinet identifying information. As a result, the disk 1 can be identified more completely.

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a document file device, and particularly relates to an image related to a document consisting of characters, figures, etc., registered in a replaceable storage medium such as an optical disk. The present invention relates to a document file device that can reliably identify a replaceable storage medium in which target image data is registered when data is retrieved.

[Conventional technology]

The document file device in this building that has been put into practical use so far reads documents consisting of characters, figures, etc. expressed on paper as image data by optical two-dimensional scanning, and converts this image data into one image. For example, desired image data may be stored in a replaceable storage medium such as an optical disk or magnetic tape, searched for as needed, and displayed on a display device such as a CRT. , and those that print using a printer device are known.

) is a cabinet (St) which is a collection of binders (SJ).
This is a cabinet management record for managing I), which corresponds to information for managing seven optical discs.

The management data file itself having such a structure is also stored on the same optical disk C along with the corresponding image data, but the access time of optical disk devices is generally slower than that of fixed disk devices. Therefore, in order to increase the processing speed, the necessary contents of the optical disk C are transferred to the fixed disk device (12), and then the necessary image data is displayed and printed. In this case, the contents are not loaded into the fixed disk device (/2) each time the original disk (1) is replaced, but only K is loaded into the fixed disk device (/2) when necessary.
/c) or save to an optical disk (c), i.e., typically a fixed disk drive (/c).
A plurality of management data files (i.e., a plurality of optical disks (separate management data files for C)) that are allowed based on the storage capacity specific to I will keep you stationed there.
Within this range, it is not necessary to load the corresponding management data file every time the optical disk C is replaced.

The system is designed to operate in a more efficient manner.

FIG. 7 is a conceptual diagram regarding such an operation mode.

In this FIG. 7, (lA)A7B>.

(IC) are optical discs #/, #ko, and #3, respectively.

(yt, (7), (7s) are the management data of '#/+ '#' and #3 corresponding to these #/, * and #3 optical disks (lA) to (IC)VC, respectively. and these $/, $X and #3
The management data files (71) to (73) are stored in the fixed disk device (i2). When such an operation mode is adopted, the corresponding management data file is transferred to the fixed disk device (zl) each time the optical disk (c) stored in the fixed disk device (zl) is replaced. There is no need to load the disc into the Jl, which makes the operation more efficient.By the way, in such cases, for example, due to a careless mistake, the wrong optical disc may be loaded. In such cases, it becomes necessary to identify the authenticity of the optical disk concerned, and in order to identify such an optical disk, the management data file in the fixed disk device (/2) is Kelki 1
The predetermined cabinet identification information on the Yabinet management record (6) is stored, and when the required optical disk (6) is installed in the optical disk device (21), the cabinet identification information on the optical disk (6) and the fixed disk A match is made between the cabinet identification information in the management data file already stored on the device (12), and only when the two match, the optical disk f becomes operational.

Figure 1 is a 70-day diagram for explaining how to identify the optical disc C strength. In this diagram, in step (Strl), the required optical disc C
Waiting for power to be applied. Now, when a certain optical disk (C) is loaded, in step (S2), the cabinet identification information is read from the optical disk C loaded as described above.In step (St, I), the fixed disk The first cabinet identification information of the management data file stored in the storage device g(t2) is read out, and one determination step (in S, the first cabinet identification information is read from both the optical disk device C and the fixed disk device (/)). If the matching of the cabinet identification information is performed and the two match, the operation of the optical disk C is permitted.On the other hand, if the two do not match, the next judgment step (Sffj) is performed. Then, in this judgment step (BE!r), it is determined whether all the cabinet identification information in the management data file stored in the fixed disk device (/) has been matched with that of the optical disk (c). When this determination has been made and all matching checks have been completed.

It is assumed that the installation of the optical disc (c) was a mistake.

Refuse its operation. On the other hand, if all matching checks have not yet been completed, the process proceeds to step (Sza6). In this step (8: &), the fixed disk device (
The next cabinet identification information in the management data file stored in /2) is read and step (
Stq).

By the way, such gear vignette identification information is as follows:
Traditionally, cabinet salt has been used, which is applied appropriately by the operator. That is, for a newly used optical disc, before registering a document on the optical disc, the operator assigns a unique cabinet name to the optical disc, and the cabinet name identifies the authenticity of the optical disc. was used as cabinet identification information.

Figure D is a flowchart for explaining the conventional method of applying cabinet salt. In FIG. 9, step (89/) allows the operator to input an appropriate cabinet name via the keyboard (10).

Then, when an appropriate gear vignette salt is input, in step (89), the input cabinet name is used as cabinet identification information in the cabinet management record (t41).

Writing is performed in a certain predetermined area of the corresponding optical disc (c).

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

In conventional general document filing devices as described above, the cabinet identification information for replaceable storage media such as optical disks consists only of cabinet salts appropriately assigned by the operator. However, there was a problem in that if a different convertible storage medium with the same cabinet name was accidentally installed, a malfunction would occur.

This invention was made in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, and it is possible to add different predetermined information to the cabinet salt as the cabinet g-specific information, and to use a plurality of types of information. A document file system that can accurately identify the target and reliably prevent @operation from occurring even if there are multiple replaceable storage media with the same cabinet salt! The purpose is to obtain i.
