In addition to the image inputted from the image reader 1, positional information out of image information inputted from a bar code reader 4 is inputted to a data printer 6 and the data printer 6 edits and prints out only the data of the description 3 from the inputted page image based on the positional information.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Industrial Application Field)
! This relates to a method of

(Prior art) Conventionally, when saving and organizing articles written in newspapers, etc., articles are cut out directly from the newspaper and pasted together, or saved in a state that allows them to be saved using the wa4j function provided in a copying machine, etc. Measures are being taken to keep it in place.

However, cutting out articles from newspapers and pasting them together as described above is very troublesome, and even when using the editing function of a copy machine, it is difficult to save only the necessary articles in Iyrff II. This requires a large number of operations or operations to be performed in advance on the copying machine, which is time-consuming, and furthermore, the work of classifying article data and making it searchable is also troublesome.

(Object of the invention) In view of the above circumstances, the present invention provides Ifi fl
It is an object of the present invention to provide a data processing method for articles in magazines, etc., which can edit and further save only necessary article data in magazines, etc.

(Structure of the Invention) The present invention attaches image information such as reading position and article classification to articles in newspapers, magazines, etc. as a barcode, and uses a light pen or the like to read the image information based on the barcode. In addition to reading the barcode with a barcode reader, the page on which the article is written is read as image data with an image reading device, and from the read image, the data of the article is edited and saved according to the image information provided by the barcode. .

According to this configuration, only necessary article data is automatically edited from the paper of a magazine, etc. using image information read by a barcode reading device from a barcode attached to an article. , can be saved.

(Example) Embodiments of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

In FIG. 1, numeral 1 is an image reading device equipped with a document table 1a used for carrying out the method of the present invention, and numeral 2 is a newspaper in which an article 3 to be edited is written.

The image reading device 1 has a built-in barcode reading device 4 for optically reading barcodes, and the barcode reading device 4 has a light pen 1b for scanning the barcode. This image reading ¥R placement is
As shown in FIG. 3, it is connected to a controller (main body) 5 and a data printer 6 as a printer system, and the controller 5 is connected to a keyboard 7, a filing system 8 as a data recording device, and an image display device. display 9 and the data printer 6.

Correspondingly, a barcode 10 as shown in FIG. 2 is attached to the article 3 of the newspaper 2. This barcode 10 includes positional information regarding the reading position of the article 3 within the new FF12 page, including the date, the type of article 3 (e.g. political economy, sports, etc.), the new FF12
Image information including information about the name, etc. is written. The above filing system 8 and data printer 6
has a function of editing the data of article 3 according to this image information.

In the above configuration, when the light pen 1b is first scanned over the barcode 10, the barcode reading device 4 in the image reading device @1 reads each piece of image information (step S1 in FIG. 4).

Next, as shown in FIG. 2, the page containing the article 3 described above is placed at a predetermined position on the manuscript table 1a (step S2), and the start switch of the image reading device 1 is turned on. When turned on (step S3), the device 1 starts reading the image from the page as image data (step 84).

When directly printing this read page image, a data printer 6 connected to the image reading device 1
Activate. As shown in FIG. 3, this data printer 6 receives the above image information from the barcode reader 4 along with the image *<page image containing article 3) input from the image f1 reader 1. The back position information has been input, and according to this position information, the data printer 6 edits and prints only the data of the article 3 from the input page image (step 35).

When storing an image read by the image reading device 1, the controller 5 is activated by operating the keyboard 7, and the read page image is input into the 7-filling system 8. At this time, the image information as well as the image is input into the filing system 8, and the filing system 8 edits only the data of the article 3 according to this image information and saves it (step Ss). Therefore, the filing system 8 stores the data of the articles 3 in a classified and organized state according to the date, the type of the article 3, and the name of the newspaper 2.

In this way, when the data of the article 3 is saved or when the saved data is recalled and printed, the data image is displayed on the display 9.

In addition to editing the data using the 7 filing system 8 as described above, it is also possible to edit the data of the article 3 in advance using the controller 5 and input this edited data into the filing system 8. effect can be obtained.

Although not shown in Figures 1 to 3, it is also possible to send article data to another system (step 87 in Figure 4) on the 5 actual stream side. For example, article data can be transmitted to a distant printer and printed. You can also.

According to the method described above, the data in the memory 3 is automatically read from the image read by the image reading device 1 using the image information read from the barcode 10 attached to the note@3 without requiring any troublesome work. You can edit, save or print.

As mentioned above, by organizing and saving data according to the image information written in the barcode 10, such as date, article type, newspaper name, etc., it is possible to search and recall the necessary data image. You can also do it.

In the above embodiment, the page of the newspaper 2 is read as it is by the image reading device 1, and this page image is edited by the controller 5, the data printer 6, the filing system 8, etc., but the present invention is not limited to this. However, according to the image information of the barcode 10, the image reading device 1 may read in advance the part of the paper where the necessary article 3 is written, and input it to the controller 5 or data printer 6. .

Further, the present invention is not limited to newspapers, but also printed materials such as magazines, etc., by attaching barcodes with image information, such as barcode 10, corresponding to articles, to obtain the above effects. I can do it.

(Effects of the Invention) As described above, according to the method of the present invention, a barcode is attached to a newspaper, magazine, etc. corresponding to an article to be edited, and image information such as a reading position is read from this barcode. In addition, by reading the image of the paper containing the article as image data, the article data can be automatically edited and saved from the image data according to the image information.

Therefore, article data can be edited and saved with simple operations without having to perform troublesome operations such as cutting out articles as in the past.
