Abstract

PURPOSE:To attain a memorandum freely without destroying an original picture by using a part of area in the unit of registration registered in a system as a picture storage area. CONSTITUTION:An area within a frame in a screen 31 is used as a picture area 10 and a memorandum to a picture displayed on the area 10 is displayed on the memorandum area 11. In applying registration to the areas 10, 11, the rate of the picture area 10 and the memo area 11 occupied in the registration unit is decided by setting them to a desired area to the area 12 of the entire registration unit. The setting is executed quickly by using a point designation type device 5 properly. Moreover, when the picture to be registered is subjected to reduction processing so as to be displayed within the frame of the picture area 10 if the picture to be registered is larger than the frame of the area 10 in its size. Furthermore, various kinds of information are described on the area 14 other than the areas 10, 11 of the registration unit area.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field 1] The present invention deals with image information, provides search keywords,
The present invention relates to an electronic filing device that registers images.

[Prior art and its problems] Conventionally, in this type of device, the registration of one image is based on the basic registration unit (for example, the storage capacity in the display memory of the system display or the original size of the registered image (A4, B
5)) is determined, and images are registered, searched, displayed, printed out, etc. for each registration unit. In this case, previously, the entire registration unit was used for image information registration, so when displaying a registered image, etc., you can look at the registered image later and find out what kind of image this image is. If you want to leave a memo, you have no choice but to write characters directly in the real area of one image, which has the disadvantage that the part of the image where the characters are written will be destroyed.

Further, in such a case, since characters, etc. are written in the image area, there is a problem that the memo is difficult to read and the number of characters, etc. that can be written is limited.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The purpose of the present invention is to allow the user to write notes freely without destroying the original image as in the conventional example described above, and to write notes when the image is displayed on a display. The objective is to provide an electronic filing system that is easy to use and can be viewed at the same time.

The above purpose is to provide an electronic filing system that has at least a means for reading image information and a means for registering image information and processes one image information for each registration unit. This is achieved by an electronic filing system characterized in that a part of the area is used as an image storage area.

[Function] According to the above-mentioned electronic filing system, it is possible to create an electronic filing system that does not damage the original image when adding memos, etc. to images to be registered, and also makes the contents easy to read. Can be provided.

■Since the format within the registration unit can be freely set, various related information corresponding to each image can be checked when searching for an image on a display or when printing out, which improves image search efficiency and single image recognition. It will be very convenient.

It has the following advantages.

[Examples] Hereinafter, the electronic filing system of the present invention will be described in detail based on specific examples.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of an embodiment of the electronic filing system of the present invention.

In the figure, l is the main unit, which controls the entire system,
It has a built-in CPU, various I/Fs, memory, etc. 2 is a display that displays 2 image information, etc. here. Reference numeral 3 denotes an external memory that stores various information such as image information of an optical disc or the like or keywords for image search. 4 is a keyboard for operating the system in this embodiment.

Reference numeral 5 is a point designation type device to assist the operation, and reference numeral 6 is a league for micro image files so that microfilm can be handled as image information. 7 is an image league for reading information such as trees and documents; 8 is a printer for outputting registered image information; and 9 is a compression circuit for reducing the size of the read image.

FIG. 2 is a diagram schematically showing on a display a configuration example of a format definition of a registration unit (meaning an information area that is registered as one unit when registering an image) in this embodiment.

In the figure, 2 is a display device, 4 is a keyboard, and 31 is a screen of display device m2. Further, numeral 10 in the screen 31 is a frame for displaying an image, and the area within this frame becomes an image area. Reference numeral 11 is a frame for writing a memo, and the area within this frame is the memo area. Memo area 11 is image area l
A memo for the image represented by O is displayed. The area 12 of the entire display screen, including the aforementioned frame 10.11, represents the entire registration unit. In this way, the system of the present invention, when registering the image area 10 and the memo area 11, sets the area 12 of the entire registration unit to a desired size, so that the image area 10.
The proportion of the memo area 11 can be determined.

At this time, by using the point designation type device 5 at appropriate times, the setting work can be performed quickly. In addition, if the size of the image to be registered is larger than the frame size of the image area IO, the image is reduced and the image area 10 is
will be reduced so that it can be displayed within the frame.

In addition, the image area 10 and memo area 1 of the 51 record unit area 12
Various types of information can be entered in the area 14 other than 1.8 For example, FIG. 2 shows a case where r-UV2-J, which is a code indicating the form format, is written in the upper left corner.

This information is displayed on the screen whenever you perform the registration process.

Hereinafter, the registration unit in which the image area and the area in which the user writes a memo are defined will be referred to as a form.

FIG. 3 is a diagram specifically showing how to print out when this embodiment is used. In FIG. 3, reference numeral 32 denotes printing paper, which corresponds to the area 12 of the entire registration unit in FIG. 33 and 34 are print areas corresponding to the image area 10 and the memo φ castle 11, respectively, and a picture 35 of a ship is drawn in the image print area 33.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the operating procedure of the electronic filing system of this embodiment, and the operating method of the tree system will be explained according to this flow.

First, before starting the registration process, define a form (step 31).The way to do this is to first declare that you are going to define a form (actually, by inputting it with a keyboard etc. using icons (pictograms) etc. according to the screen of the display device). Therefore, using the image editing function of this system, multiple frames are created on the screen, and one of the frames is designated as the frame indicating the image area, and the other frames are designated as the frame indicating the area where the memo is to be displayed. When this command is received, this device uses a predetermined method to secure storage capacity corresponding to the size of each specified frame in a predetermined location within the system (internal memory of the main unit). This area is referred to as an image storage area) and is prepared for subsequent processing.

At this time, you should also input what you want to record or display on the base of the registration unit 12. In response to this input, this device records the input in relation to the form, and always displays it while working on the form. Display above. Note that this input information can also be displayed or printed out when printing out the information in FIG. 3.

Once the form settings are complete, declare the form definition complete.

Next, it is declared that registration will be performed using 7TM. Then, the image to be registered is read by the microreader 6 or image reader 7 shown in Figure 1 (step S2). If the size of the read image is larger than the size of the frame that can display the image defined in the form, the compression circuit shown in Figure 1 9
is used to compress the image to a size that can be displayed within the frame size and display it on the screen (step S3). Here, while viewing the image, use the keyboard 4 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 in the memo area 11. A memo is input (step S4), and when the memo is input, an instruction is given to start climbing. Upon receiving the instruction, the present system records the content displayed on the screen as it is as a registered image in the external memory 3 shown in FIG. 1 (step S5), thereby completing the registration of one screen. When it is desired to carry out the next registration, the image registration and the corresponding input are carried out in steps 0 or more, which are repeated from S2.

In this way, it is possible to record a memo for the registered image without destroying the original registered image.

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing another embodiment of the present invention.

In the embodiment, as shown in FIG.
An area outside the image area 10 (which is the image storage area IO in the sense of registering m-images) is provided as a memo area 11 in which the user can freely input memos. , as shown in FIG. 5, is characterized in that a search keyword area 13 for displaying search keywords attached to registered images is provided in a form definition. In other words, instead of allowing the user to freely input notes, the search keyword that the user has attached to this registered image is forcibly displayed in the search keyword area 13, and recorded in this system in the form shown in Figure 5. I'll leave it there. This has the advantage that it can be seen whether a keyword has been added when an image is displayed or printed out. In FIG. 5, reference numeral 16 indicates an image displayed in the image area 10. The basic configuration of this system is the same as the previous example, even in the description of 0 and above.

The electronic filing system of the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, and various modifications and applications are possible.

For example, the area for writing predetermined related information outside the image area within the registration unit is not limited to memos and search keywords as described above, and it is possible to select an alarm that matches the image. serial number, standard code, symbol mark, etc.

Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the area for writing related information is
In addition to the image area IO, a case is shown in which there is only one memo area 11 or search keyword area 13, but it is also possible to have a plurality of areas depending on the image information to be processed.

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, according to the electronic filing system of the present invention, by performing form definition and registration, one registration form can be created without destroying the image of one original registration image. (This is the registration paper that the user thinks about in his/her head, and corresponds to the registration unit in the device system.) It becomes possible for the user to freely write information such as notes on the paper. Furthermore, by unifying the form for each department within the company, management of registered images becomes easier.
