Abstract

PURPOSE:To efficiently retrieve an objective document even if common index information for retrieval of the document is forgotten, by setting and managing personal index information peculiar to a user on a work station. CONSTITUTION:An index file 4 independently set by each user is held on a word station 3 of the user. Address information of each index item on a common index file managed by a host computer is held in the index file on the work station 3. Thus, objective information is retrieved even if common index information unified in a system is forgotten, and it is unnecessary for the user to pay attention to update of common index information because address information is not changed in case of update of common index information.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a data search method using index information set by a user, and is particularly suitable for a search method of an electronic 7-eye ring system or a database system. Regarding personal index method.

[Conventional technology]

In the electronic 7i ring system and the information storage crossbar system 8 of the database system, index information and keyword information are unified by the system administrator for the stored data in order to perform search processing efficiently. is set to .

Therefore, the user specifies index information and keyword information set in advance to search for desired data. still,
Examples of systems related to this type of system include JP-A-55
-155967 is mentioned.

In addition, each terminal device may memorize search condition expressions so that they can be used repeatedly.However, even in this case, indexes and keywords are uniquely determined by the host system. There is a problem with having to use things.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

In the conventional system mentioned above, the #
Following the embankment system, index information and keyword information are set and are collectively managed on the host computer. Therefore, a user searching for information needs to have four preset index information and keyword information @i. Furthermore, when re-searching for information that has been previously searched, it is necessary to manually search for the same index information and keyword information using the same method. For this reason, when retrieving information that has been previously searched, there is a problem in that if the index information or keyword information necessary for the search is forgotten, it requires a great deal of effort to search for the desired information. .

An object of the present invention is to solve the problems of the conventional method, to provide a personal index method that allows each user to freely set an index, and performs information retrieval efficiently.

[Failure to solve the problem]

The above purpose is achieved by maintaining index information uniquely set by each user on each user's workstation and linking it with common index information managed by a system administrator on a host computer. Ru.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of a processing procedure by a workstation when the present invention is applied to a document filing system, FIG. 2α to FIG. 2g are screen flows on the workstation, and FIG. The figure is an overall configuration diagram of the document 7 airing system according to the present invention, and FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 are diagrams showing details of a table created in an embodiment of the present invention.

In Figure 2, reference numeral 1 denotes a host combiator, which is in charge of controlling the storage of document files on the host and the retrieval of documents in response to retrieval instructions from the workstation. It is for storage. 2 is a file for storing sentences 4IIt for each user to search. 3 exists for each user, and displays the operation menu screen of the document filing system shown in this embodiment, issues instructions to the host combinator to search for documents specified by the user, and displays personal index information. This is the work stage 1 which is in charge of control for performing registration processing and search processing. 4 is a file that exists in each work stage 172 and is created for each user and is used to store registered personal index information.

Next, the operation of the valley in FIG. 5 will be explained based on the processing flow in FIG. 1, the screens in FIGS. 21g24 to 2g, and the details of the table in FIG.

First, when the user instructs host combinator 1 to start the document filing system, work stages 1 and 3
The document filing processing menu screen (Second a) is displayed on the screen of
) is displayed (101).

After the display, the user selects and instructs document search processing. Operations differ depending on the system, but in this practical example, registration, search, etc. are processed using one menu method. Assumed to be performed.

Upon receiving this (102), it is determined whether the sentence S is verified using the common index (105).

If a common index is used (103Yes), upon receiving a processing instruction from the workstation 71, the host combination 1 enters the common index input menu (Fig. 2b) set in advance by the system administrator. Display (
104). After the display, the user enters the necessary key items according to the common index menu, and if the user wants to register the sentence 4 to be searched in the personal index file 4 on the user's self-sealed work stage 1-3, the user enters the necessary key items. Is this workstation 3? : g swallow (10
5). Work stages 1 and 3 send this to host 1,
Perform a search. At the same time, the process D (shown in FIG. 4) registered in the common index file is read into the memory of the workstation 3 (106). If there is a registration instruction (107 Yes), searched sentence i'! a
Display on the screen of the workstation 3 as shown in Figure 'g2c (10th day) At this time, a command menu area is provided on the screen, and a personal in-desk information menu is also displayed.

If the user wishes to register the cross-beamed sentence 4 in his or her own personal index, select ``Personal Index Registration'' on the command menu. After selection, load the personal index title: document name in Figure 4 (each user sets its own title in advance) from the personal index file 4 on your workstation and enter the title in Figure 2d. Display on the screen as (108)
.

The user commands the index information he/she wants to set;
Input it into the domain area (for example, register simplified index information that only the user can understand for common index information). This is received (109), the previously read document ID-4 is added to the input personal index information, and it is registered in the personal index file as shown in FIG. 5 (110).

The personal in-desk information management process 24 in FIG. 5 shows the address information of the document corresponding to the document file 2 on the host computer 1.

Next, search processing using personal index information will be explained. If the answer in step 103 is No, the process moves to a search using the personal index (111).

First, a personal index title is read from the personal index file and displayed on the screen as shown in FIG. 2e (112).

The user manually sets the index information (original personal index information set by the user) for the document he or she wishes to search, as shown in Figure M2f. Upon receiving this (115), the personal index file is searched based on the specified index information, and the document ID of the corresponding document is requested (114).

Based on the obtained sentence 41D, the common index file is searched to obtain the corresponding index information.

As a result, the target sentence 4'? is extracted from the document file. : Search and display on the screen as shown in Figure 2g (115).

As described above, it is possible to attach an index that is easy to understand for an individual or that meets his/her needs, in this example, system 0A)l, to a document in the host's search system, and a free search system can be achieved.

[Effects of the Invention] According to this embodiment, even if the user forgets the common index information for searching for sentence 4 for a document searched in the past, the user can freely set it. By using the registered personal index information and human resources, you can efficiently search for the desired document.
