Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an image information retrieval device that not only registers primary information on a recording medium but also searches and retrieves the primary information at high speed and effectively. It is something.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 3. Conventional image information retrieval device related to the present invention
This will be explained using the diagram and FIG. FIG. 3 is a developed view of the recording medium. The X direction is indicated by sectors, the Y direction is indicated by ri, and each is numbered S. ,. , T-engineering. (m
, n=1 to N). On the other hand, the area is divided into a primary information registration area indicated by the number ■ and a secondary information area indicated by the number ■.

The operation will be briefly explained. Primary information is registered in the recording medium each time it occurs. That is, the first primary information (hereinafter referred to as record) R1 is stored in track T and sector S. Register from. This 1←O+ record R1 used sectors up to 5n-1. Regarding this record R1, the assigned keyword information KW1~
n, and the sector S in units of divisions, ie, pages, within the record R1. Detailed address information P1 to Pn, such as how the area within -8n-1 was used, is summarized as secondary information as shown in Figure 4, and is sent to a designated location within the secondary information area ■, here T2. -0. It is recorded in SO as K1. Next, record R2 is generated, and from the next sector "1-o, Sn of the primary information area (■), record R2 is generated.
2 is used and registered up to Tl-11SI, and as described above, the secondary information regarding this record H is summarized as 2 and processed in designated areas T and S as 2-0.
Registration of code R2 is completed. Thereafter, record R3 is processed in the same way, and records are registered one after another. This registered data is used as a database, and by using a keyword search means (not detailed) and obtaining the information within the specified number in the secondary information area (■) based on the hit number, It becomes possible to extract necessary record original information.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, the search results using the above-mentioned keyword search means generally yield a plurality of hits, from which the desired record original information is checked and determined one by one. was. When the original primary information is read in this process, if it is difficult to distinguish from the first page alone, the next page is read and determined. Determining the necessary information in this manner has the disadvantage that the amount of data is large and time is required when reading the primary information. Another method is to display a plurality of pages in sequence. There is also a method of so-called multi-screen display, but in this case, as mentioned above, it takes much longer to read the data, or the information for one page displayed in multi-screen is significantly thinned out, making it difficult to distinguish due to the reduced resolution. There were also drawbacks such as:

The present invention aims to speed up search and retrieval by making it possible to quickly determine the content of the original information by performing the registration process in a manner that effectively utilizes the characteristics of the registered primary information. .

Means for Solving the Problems The present invention separates the registration area of primary information and secondary information on a recording medium, sequentially registers the primary information for each registration in the primary information area, and registers the above-mentioned registration in the secondary information area. Register secondary information such as management information that can be searched and retrieved for each primary information, extract information that outlines the features from the primary information for each registration,
registering in the primary information area of the recording medium;
The feature primary information is to manage registered address information.

Function The present invention focuses on the fact that the information for discrimination contained in primary information does not cover the entire area within a record, but can be limited to a specific page or a specific block within a page. Alternatively, after registration, by defining a specific area (page, block) in the registered record information as primary feature information and managing the registration, you can search for the primary feature information without having to judge all the information in the record. Reading enables quick judgment.

Embodiment An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 1, FIG. 2, and FIG. FIG. 1 shows an example of a gloss mat that manages feature primary information. FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of visually displaying feature primary information.

That is, as shown in FIG. 2, the primary information, which is a feature of the present invention, is the title part of the first page of each page in one record, i1, for example.
) for an overview, and the diagram on the Nth page (Illustration 12)
) has a feature. In the present invention, such notable primary information blocks 11.12 and a portion of secondary information (C1 in the figure) related to this record are divided into approximately 1
After cutting out and composing pages, it is registered in the primary information area as feature primary information of the record. The address information registered in the primary information area is processed in the newly provided column P8 in the detailed address information area within the document shown in FIG. Therefore, when you perform a search retrieval, the current P8
By reading and processing the part indicated by the address in the column, for example, it is possible to obtain the primary information as shown in Figure 3, and it is possible to quickly determine whether a record is necessary or unnecessary, which is faster than before. , the speed at which the final necessary next layer information can be obtained has been increased, and searches have become more efficient.

On the other hand, in some cases, when the feature primary information shown in Fig. 2 corresponds to one page itself in the record, only one item 11 is shown in the figure, and there is no secondary information C1. It is also possible to declare the page itself as feature primary information and register the address information of the page in ps- in FIG. 1.

Also, if the information that spans multiple pages as described above is managed, for example, by the X, Y start and end addresses of each page cut out, and the combined X, Y address information when combined into one page. , the X, Y address information may be registered in the primary information area as feature primary information, and this registered address information may be processed in column P8 of FIG. 1.

On the other hand, the timing of processing this feature primary information is as follows:
It is possible to do this at the same time as the processing of each record, or after a certain period of time; however, if the latter is to be carried out after a certain period of time, and if a non-erasable medium is used as the recording medium, it may be necessary to do so at the time of initial registration. , reserve at least one empty area within the primary information area, and use this reserved address information as
When creating the feature primary information of the current record at a later date, which is registered in the Ps column of FIG. 1, the feature primary information registered data area may be registered in the reserved address area of the current P8.

On the other hand, as an extension of the above idea, for example, by adopting a feature primary information registration processing method that includes a second reserved area in addition to the actual data as the feature primary information registration area, the feature primary information Regarding modification and re-registration, it is possible to manage and register the address after modification and re-registration in the second reserved area, and updates can be executed relatively freely.

In addition, the registration process of this feature primary information is, in principle, possible by mainly processing the registered primary information.

Furthermore, the amount of processed data is as small as about one page, and it is considered that there is no need to take into account the decrease in the utilization rate of the recording medium.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 1, the format for realizing this system can be almost the same as the conventional one, so there is an effect that purge run-up can be easily performed.

Effects of the Invention By implementing the present invention, the search and retrieval of primary source information registered in a recording medium can be performed faster than before by only searching a portion of the primary information area. , enables efficient searching, and improves the man-machine interface.
