Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Industrial Application]
The present invention relates to a Videotex system that uses digital image information.

[Conventional technology]

FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a conventional information center device. In the figure, 41 is a display device, 42 is a CPU (central processing unit a) that executes each process, and 43 is a human CPU.
42 is an input device for inputting information, 44 is a storage device, and 45 is a communication control device for providing information to the outside through a line.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the flow of processing for registering image information having the same screen number in the information center device of FIG. 4. In the figure, 51 to 57 each indicate steps.

Figure K6 is a diagram showing the structure of image information of the captain method and a part of its contents. As shown in the figure, image information for one screen includes screen management information (A information) 611, which is information necessary for maintaining and managing image data, next screen information (C information) 62, which is information necessary for screen search, and application It consists of service designation information (E information) 632 and display screen information (B information) 64. Here, since the screen management information 61 is generally called A information and the next screen information 62 is called C information, hereinafter, 61 will be called A information and 62' will be called C information. The A information 61 has a screen number 65 as one of its content items. This screen number 65 is an 11-digit number that is always determined for one piece of image data, and image information is identified by this number that is determined for each image. Therefore, two or more pieces of image information having the same screen number must not exist in the same information center device. Furthermore, the C information 62 also includes a screen number as screen branch destination data. C information 62 is composed of options 66 and screen numbers 67. For example, assume that a picture with screen number 65 is currently displayed on the screen of the user terminal. At that time, when one of the options 66 is requested by the user, the information center device calls screen number 67, and the information of screen number 67 is provided on the screen of the user terminal. In this way, image information in the Videotex system is managed by screen numbers.

The seventh factor is a diagram showing an example of registering new image information in the information center device. In the figure, 71 is an image information file that has already been registered in the information center device, and 72 is an image information file that is to be newly registered in the information center device. 73 is a screen number as image information existing in the image information file 71, and 74 is a screen number as image information existing in the image information file 72.
This is the screen number as the A information of one piece of image information (1) that exists within. 75.76 is a screen number as C information of image information (1), and 77.78 is a screen number as C information of image information other than image information (1)+2) and (3).

FIG. 8 is a block diagram showing an example of the configuration of the Videotex system. In the figure, reference numeral 81 denotes an information center device having functions of storing, updating, and searching image information, and transmitting image information in response to requests from user terminals. 8
Reference numeral 2 denotes a user terminal, which is connected to the information center device 81 via a telephone line, and the user can view the image information stored in the information center device 81 by operating the user terminal 82. can. Reference numeral 83 denotes a floppy disk for exchanging image information, and is used to register image information in the information center device 81.

Next, the operation of registering the image information of the floppy disk 83 for single-page image information exchange in the information center group [81 shown in FIG. 8] will be explained using the example shown in FIG. Floppy disk for image information exchange that you are about to register 8
The image information file 72 of No. 3 contains image information (1) to (3).
) There is information on three screens. The A information of image information (1) has screen number 74, and image information (2), <3)
There are screen numbers 77 and 78 corresponding to screen number 74 in each C information.

The image information file 71 stored in the information center device 81 contains A20000000000 as image information.
Since the screen number 73 exists, if an attempt is made to newly register the image information file 72 on the image information exchange floppy disk 83, the screen number 73 and the screen number 74 will overlap. Therefore, it becomes necessary to change the screen numbers of the image information file 72 along the flow of processing as shown in FIG.

First, the CPU 42 searches the image information file 71 to create a list of screen numbers registered in the information center device 81, and outputs the list to the display device 41 (step 51 in FIG. 5).

Next, the newly registered image information file 72 is compared with the displayed list, and the human mind determines whether or not the same screen exists, and writes it down on paper (step 52 in FIG. 5). If there are identical screen numbers, the user thinks up an appropriate screen number and manually changes the screen number for the A information (step 53 in FIG. 5). The screen number of the C information corresponding to the A information that has been changed in this way is manually changed by a human. Here, the discovery of the corresponding C information is also performed by the human mind (step 54 in FIG. 5). After changing the screen number, a check is performed manually to see if there are any errors (step 55 of the fifth factor). If there is no error in this check, the image information in the image information file 72 is registered in the image information file 71 of the information center device 81 (step 5 in FIG.
6).

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

Since the above-mentioned conventional information center device is configured as described above, assigning the same screen number in each step 52 to 55 as shown in FIG.
7) must be done by human mind and hand,
Step 57, which involves changing the attachment, involves the troublesome process of step 54 above step 53, which places a heavy burden on humans, resulting in the problem of increased errors.

This invention was made to solve this problem, and has the function of detecting the same screen number, assigning a new screen number, and correcting the screen number without using the human head or hands. The purpose is to obtain information center equipment.

[Means for solving problems]

The information center device according to the present invention compares the screen number of the image information file to be registered with the accumulated screen numbers, detects the same screen number, and causes the CPU to correct the same screen number. This is what I did.

[Effect]

The information center device of the present invention detects the same screen number by comparing the list of accumulated screen numbers it has internally with the newly registered screen number, and images images having the same screen number. The screen number of information C is corrected by changing the screen number of information A and storing the changed contents of the screen number.

〔Example〕

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the internal configuration of essential parts of an information center device that is an embodiment of the present invention. The configuration of the system according to the present invention is basically the same as the configuration shown in FIG. 4 above. In the figure, 42 is a CPU;
This CPU 42 has three processing units 11, 12, and 13.
It consists of 11 is a screen number comparison unit that compares numbers to detect the same screen number; 12 is a change processing unit that changes screen numbers; and 13 is a rule determination unit that determines rules for changing screen numbers. be. The inside of the storage device 44 is roughly divided into an image information storage section 44A and a temporary storage section 4.
It consists of 4B. The image information storage unit 44A stores image information for providing services.
Its interior consists of three further parts: 14, 15, and 16. Reference numeral 16 denotes a dual-image data file that stores image data to be provided to the user terminal 82, which is the same as the image information file 7 in the information center device 81 of the conventional example.
It corresponds to 1. Image data is image data file 1
6, services can only be provided after registration. Reference numeral 14 denotes an accumulation number list that is a list of accumulated screen numbers that can be created from the A information of the image data file 16. Reference numeral 15 denotes an empty number information file that constitutes an information file of empty screen numbers that can be created from the storage number list 14. Therefore, when new image information is registered, the image data is stored in the image data file 16, its screen number is written in the storage number list 14, the screen number in the vacant number information file 15 is deleted, and the information center device It manages 81 image information. The temporary storage unit 44B is for temporarily storing image information to be newly registered, and has a registration number list)17. Modification number list 18
゜It consists of an image data file 19.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing the flow of processing for registering image information having the same screen number in the information center device of FIG. In the above, 21 to 28 each indicate a step.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing some specific processing contents in the flowchart of FIG. 2.

Next, the operation of the information center apparatus shown in FIG. 1 will be explained using the example shown in FIG. 7.

Now, the image information file 2 that you want to newly register has a duplicate screen number A20000000000.

First, the image information file 72 is read from the image information exchange floppy disk 83 and stored in the image data file 19. Further, the screen number of the A information of the image information file 72 is stored in the visual record number list 17 to generate a registered screen number list (step 21 in FIG. 2). Next, the CPU
42's screen number comparison unit 11 compares the stored number list 14 and the registration number list 17, detects all the same screen numbers existing in the image information file 72 to be registered, and adds those screen numbers to the correction number list 18. Fill out. Here, it is detected that screen number 73 and screen number 74 are the same screen number, and correction number list 18 contains grave 200000.
00000 is entered (step 22 in FIG. 2). Here, it is assumed that the rule determining unit 13 of the CPU 42 contains a rule such as ``assign a screen number that is the largest screen number in the accumulated screen number list plus 100.'' C
The change processing unit 12 of the PU 42 changes the screen number of the A information in the image data file 19 in accordance with this rule, and the changed screen number is also entered in the correction number list 18. Here, since the maximum screen number stored in the image information file 71 is 1670000000000, the screen number 74 is assigned 70000000100,
In the modification number list 18, MU20000000000 is 4
The change to 70000000100 is entered (step 23 in FIG. 2).

Next, the change processing unit 12 of the CPU 42 updates the correction number list 1
The screen number of the C information in the image data file 19 is changed according to the change details described in 8. Here, each screen number 75, 76 corresponding to screen number 74 is changed (step 24 in FIG. 2). After confirmation, the image data file 19 is registered in the image data file 16 of the information center device 81, the newly registered screen number is added to the storage number list 14, and the assigned screen in the vacant number information file 15 is added. The number part will be deleted.

In the above embodiment, the screen number change rule is "assign a screen number that is the largest screen number in the accumulated screen number list plus 100"; however, this change rule is not necessarily required, and may be determined by the CPU 42 rules. Any rules can be set in the determining section 13.

Further, in the above embodiment, it is assumed that the change rule is determined in advance, but the change rule may be inputted depending on the time.

Further, in the above embodiment, only screen numbers that overlap are changed, but all screen numbers to be registered may be converted and registered according to a certain rule. For example, it may be possible to create a unified rule that converts the numbers so that the upper four digits of the screen number remain constant within the file in which the upper four digits of the screen number are registered. is shown, and at the time of registration, the rule determining unit 13 selects an appropriate four-digit number from the vacant number information file 15, and the change processing unit 12 changes all the upper four digits of the screen number, and changes the remaining numbers. This can also be achieved by adjusting the 7-digit number to avoid duplication within the same file.

Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the file to be newly registered is copied from the image information exchange floppy disk 83 to the temporary storage unit 44B of the information center device 81, and the image information of the copied image data file 19 is changed. ,
The image data on the floppy disk 83 for image information exchange may be directly changed and registered.

Further, in the above embodiment, the stored number list 14. is stored in the storage device 44 of the information center device 81. Vacant number information file 1
5. Registration number list 17. We decided to memorize the modification number list) 18, but all this information is in each image data file 16.19, so even if you do not remember these lists, you can rewrite each image every time you need it. Data files 16-19 may also be examined.

Further, in the above embodiment, the floppy disk 83 for exchanging image information is used as a means for bringing new image information to the information center device 81, but the information center device 81 is connected to the information source via a communication line. The present invention can also be implemented in a system in which image information is transmitted through the communication line, and the same effects as in the above embodiment can be achieved.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention compares the screen number of the image information file to be registered with the accumulated screen numbers in the information center device, detects the same screen number, and corrects the same screen number using the CPU. - Since the configuration is configured to do this in this way, the burden on humans is significantly reduced when registering image information in the information center device, and
This has an excellent effect in that registration can be performed reliably.
