Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Objective of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention stores a large amount of program information in an optical storage means, for example, an optical disk, and stores the program information as needed in a magnetic storage means. The present invention relates to an information processing device configured to read and use information.

(Prior Art) When registering information in an information processing device using a large-capacity storage medium such as an optical F4 disk, or searching for this registered information, the device itself must be registered in addition to address information and search information. programs for operation, e.g.

Registration program, search program, and deletion program information are registered on a magnetic disk separate from the optical disk. To register this program information to the magnetic F4 disk, the program information created by the Kontsquil machine is temporarily stored on a floppy disk, this floppy disk is set in the image processing device, and finally the magnetic F4 disk in the image processing device is stored. This is done by registering it on the disk.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) Since the storage capacity of the 7oppy disk is small, as the program information increases, it cannot be stored on a single floppy disk, and it is sometimes stored on dozens of floppy disks. There was something that had to be done, and it was extremely difficult to handle.

Furthermore, when changing program information, it is necessary to manage program information for each generation, such as ensuring that the program information after one change is read out preferentially, or reading out the program information before the change as necessary. There was also.

Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned needs, and allows program information to be easily registered and managed. The purpose is to provide an information processing device.

[Structure of the Invention] (Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention solves the above problems by providing a processing means for reproducing stored information stored in an optical storage means, and an operation of the processing means. a first control means for storing program information for controlling the program information in the optical storage means together with search information corresponding to the program information; , and second control means for storing this in the magnetic storage means.

The processing means is controlled based on the program information stored in this magnetic storage means! 3, and the first control means is configured to store program information from the inner circumferential side of the optical storage means and to store search information from the outer circumferential side of the optical storage means. The present invention provides an information processing device characterized by the following.

(Operation) Program information is first registered from the inner circumference of the optical storage means from the floppy disk, and corresponding search information is registered from the outer circumference, and then from the optical storage means to the magnetic storage means.

Thereby, the program information registered in this magnetic storage means can be used together with address information and search information during operation of the information processing apparatus, similar to that registered from a conventional floppy disk.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of an image information processing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. The main control unit J1 includes a CPU J2 that performs various controls, a main memory 13 in which control programs for the CPU J2, etc. are stored, and a quaternary block 512.
A page buffer 14 has a storage capacity of 128 kilobits (kilobits), and a compression/decompression unit that compresses (reduces redundancy) and decompresses (returns redundancy to its original level) image information.
It is comprised of an expansion circuit 15, a pattern generator 16 in which /4 turn information such as characters or symbols is stored, and a display interface 11.

On the other hand, the two-dimensional scanning device 19 as an image reading device is
By scanning a document image (not shown) using, for example, a laser beam, an electrical signal corresponding to the document image is obtained. The first optical disk device 20 stores image information read by the two-dimensional scanning device 19 and supplied via the main control section 11.

The keypad 21 is used to input unique search information and various operation commands corresponding to image information. A cathode ray tube display device (hereinafter referred to as a CRT display device) 22 serving as a display section displays image information read by the two-dimensional scanning device 19 and supplied via the main control section 11, or the first optical disk device. 20 and displays image information and the like supplied via the main control section 11.

The recording device 23 is, for example, a printer, and this recording device 23 is read by the two-dimensional device 19 and is read by the main control unit 1.
1, or image information read from the first optical disk device 20 and supplied via the main control section 11.

The magnetic disk device 24 stores program information input from a floppy disk via a floppy disk device 25 and a second optical disk device 26, which will be described later. This program information amount/device operation program is stored together with information for searching regarding image information stored in the first optical disk device fJ120.

The communication control device 27 is connected to an external device via a communication line 28, and transmits, for example, an image search request signal and search information, and also supplies the transmitted image search request signal and search information to the main control unit 11. It is something.

In such a configuration, a separate floppy disk is prepared in which programs for operating the information processing apparatus itself created by the compile machine, such as a registration program, a search program, and a deletion program, are stored, and these are stored in the floppy disk device 25. Set. Here, the original disk utility program execution mode is selected in the image processing apparatus of FIG. 1, and a program selection screen as shown in FIG. i2 is displayed on the CRT display device 22. Needday operates the keyboard 21 according to the instructions on this screen to enter the first mode "'FD T
o Select and execute “OD”.

As a result, program information is read from the floppy disk set in the floppy disk device fl125 under the control of the CPU Jz, and written onto the system optical disk set in the second optical disk device 26. The program information consists of a program main body for executing the operation of the device and program management information to be described later.As shown in FIG. The program management information is written on the track 32 formed from the outer circumference toward the inner circumference. For example, when the rotation direction of the system optical disk 300 is indicated by arrow A, recording of the program main information is started from the start position D1 on the track 31,
The data is recorded across a plurality of blocks up to the end position D2.

Here, the amount of information of the program body information is not constant, and even if it is set to the start position D1tl - the beginning position of a certain sector, the end position is recorded fe! It varies depending on the Durham body information. Therefore, it is convenient to store the program body information sequentially in the rotational direction of the optical disc 30 from the beginning.

On the other hand, the program management information, as shown in Figure 4,
It consists of program name, purge, engine A, and other management information, and the total amount of information is known. Here, it is assumed that the program management information has an amount that can fit within one block. The first program management information is the first block B
It is stored in the direction opposite to the arrow from the boundary with %B and 1 within n. The second program management information is stored in the next block Bn-1 on the track 32 sequentially from the boundary with block Bn-2. system optical disc 30
Since the peripheral speed on the track is faster on the outer track than on the inner track, this is convenient for speeding up the search. If the maximum length of the program management information is not larger than one block length, two adjacent pieces of program management information will not overlap. This second program body information is stored on the track 31 following the first program body information. When this second program main body information is of the second generation of the first one, purge A in the program management information becomes M2. Therefore, if multiple pieces of program information with the same program name are detected during a search, this version f CP
When viewing on U J 2, you can access the largest version as the latest version. Also, if you specify purge A, you can also access the program information of older versions.

As described above, a plurality of floppy disks can be set in the 11th-order 70 floppy disk device 25, and a large number of program information can be registered on the system optical disk 30 one after another. Note that, conversely, the program management information may be stored from the inner circumference of the optical disc. Further, the program book information may be recorded from the middle of the disc toward the innermost circumference.

FIG. 5 shows an operation flow of the CPU Jj to explain the operation of recording program information from the floppy disk to the system optical disk 30.

In the figure, the FD To OD mode setting is performed in step S1, and the OD utility menu is displayed on the screen in the next step S2.
o Select OD. As a result, the CPU 12 executes FD To OD in the next step S3.

Here, in the next step S4, the key? - Enter the program name and version A to be registered using code 2λ. If purge or download is not specified, CPU J 2 searches for the program name, and if a program with the same name already exists, inputs the next version name, and if not, purges,
Enter it as number 1.

Thereafter, the process moves to step S5, where the program main body information is read from the floppy disk FD set in the floppy disk device 25, and is registered in the system optical disk 30, and the program management information is also written.

Next, a case will be described in which the program information registered in the system optical disk 30 in this way is registered in the magnetic disk device 24. In FIG. 6, step T1

mode is executed. Here, the user presses the key in step T4? - Program name and version st that you want to register from the computer 2J - When you do this manually, the CPU 12 reads the corresponding program name, purge, and program book information corresponding to the program name A from the system optical disk 30 in step T5, and stores it magnetically. Write to the disk device 24. When the key is only the program name and no purge/in designation from the first key 21, the program information of the largest version among the information of the same program name, that is, the latest version, is stored on the magnetic disk. If you want to register the old version, you can input version A from the keyboard 21. The program information registered in the magnetic disk device 24 through this process is program information directly registered in the magnetic disk device from a conventional floppy disk regarding the processing of image information stored in the optical disk device 20. It can be used in the same way.

In the above explanation, the program management information is searched based on the program name shown in FIG. By managing the program information by dividing it into logical /+7 units, searching for program information becomes easier.

Figure 7 shows other formats of program management information, including program name, purge, and nA%? This management information consists of a total of five items: volume name, system optical disk recording address, and other information. One volume name is assigned in common to a plurality of program names, thereby making it possible to manage program information in groups.

This volume name is the keyboard 21 along with the program name.
You can input from , and search is also easy.

[Effects of the Invention] As detailed above, according to the present invention, when issuing and registering a program to an information processing device, program information on, for example, several dozen floppy disks can be stored on one optical storage device. Program information can be stored from the inner circumference and search information from the outer circumference, and even when updating a program, each version can be additionally recorded on the same optical storage means as the previous program, making program information management extremely easy. . The capacity of one optical storage means is 800 to 3 times that of a floppy disk.
It is 600 times larger and can perform sufficient program management.
