Abstract

PURPOSE:To perform quick and continuous revising actions by displaying many retrieving images on many pictures and designating repetitively the images on the picture to register new images. CONSTITUTION:Conditions are designated via a keyboard 4 and an optical disk drive 3 is retrieved under the control of a main body part 1 for selection of a document in response to said conditions. Then six image indexes, for example, of the head page of the selected document are displayed on a display 2 (29) by a point designation type device 5. An image to be revised is selected out of the display 2 and displayed 2. Then the images to be revised and registered are read and displayed 2 via a microreader 6 and an image reader 7. Then a revision/register instruction is delivered via the keyboard 4 and the images are registered in an optical disk 3. This processing is carried out as required. In such a way, the quick and continuous revising actions are carried out with use of the retrieving images.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention [Technical Field] The present invention relates to image information@cutting force Ef in an electronic filing system.

[Prior art] Conventionally, when performing a pegboard of registered images with this type of device, a search keyword is specified and the target document to be pegboard is searched (a document is a group of one or more images). 1 search keyword is attached to the document Each image in the document can be specified by specifying the image on the first page, the image on the second page, etc.), and select the page you want to perform like a nail board in that document. 2 on the display, and the user had to confirm on the display that he wanted to paste the image of this page of this document on the display before starting the actual piling work. This conventional method had the disadvantage that if you wanted to perform pegboard work on various documents in succession, you had to redisplay the image each time.

[Objective] The object of the present invention was made in view of the above-mentioned points.
To provide an electronic filing system capable of successively pegging images without displaying the images from a list selected from documents that meet the conditions.

[Embodiment] An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to one drawing.

22 is a ROM containing the minimum necessary programs for system startup, 23 is a counter used for refreshing the memory, 24 is a circuit that functions as a clock that stores date and time, 25 and 26 are external memories. A buffer memory 27 is used for input/output with the hard disk, and a circuit 27 controls input/output with the hard disk. Image search keywords are held in this hard disk as a database. 28 is a circuit that controls input/output with the 70 disk.

Figure 5 shows an index of images corresponding to the keywords obtained by searching for image search keywords under certain conditions (hereinafter referred to as image index). .) is displayed on the display. However, six or more image indexes may be displayed on one screen. 29 indicates a display screen.

30 to 35 are image indexes of image information selected by the search, and are arranged in order.

FIG. 6 shows the screen on the display where the image is actually displayed. 36 shows an image of a new nail board being installed.

This display is performed using multiple windows.

FIG. 7 is an example of an image index that is displayed when multiple pages of images are registered in one document. Area 3
If you specify the area 7 with the pointing device 5 in Figure 2, the image index one page before the currently displayed image index will be displayed, and if you specify the area 38 with the pointing device 5 in Figure 2, the image index will be displayed that is one page before the currently displayed image index. , the image index one page after the currently displayed image index is displayed.

FIG. 8 shows an example of a document management file. In this file, keyword information of each document and an address containing information on the first page of each document are recorded. 39 indicates the entire document management file. 40 is a search keyword attached to each document, and in this figure, 3 search keywords are attached to each document.
An example is shown in which two search keywords are registered.

41 indicates how many pages of images are registered in each document. 42 is the image information on the first page of each document (
Indicates the start address of the area where the page management file code) is recorded.

FIG. 9 is an example of a page management file.

The code of the page management file contains necessary information about the image on a certain page of a certain document (the address where the image data of the image index is recorded, the address where the image data of the actual image is recorded, the page of the next page, etc.) management record address, page management record address of the previous page) are recorded.

43 indicates a page management file, and 44 indicates the address of each record within the page management file. 45 is
Indicates the address where the image data of the image index of each page is stored. 46 indicates the address where the image data of the actual image of each page is stored, 47 indicates the address of the page management record of the next page, and 48 indicates the address of the page management record of the previous page.

FIG. 1 shows the operating procedure for configurable image movement.

First, specify a certain condition, search, select a document that meets the condition, and display up to six image indexes of the first page of the selected document on the display (S
1) The screen at this time is shown in Figure 5. Select one of the image indexes of the first pages of the six documents displayed here, and display the page you want to perform using the method shown in the explanation of Fig. 7 (S2゜s3>, -i
Then, using the image reader 7 or the microreader 6 in FIG. 2, the image for which registration is desired is read and displayed (S4). The screen at this time is shown in FIG. If you specify possible registration here, Sl, S2. The image index display section specified in the process of S3 is redisplayed with the newly created image index (S5). If you want to continue the process, repeat from Sl.

In this way, quick pre-version processing can be performed without the tedious process of selecting and specifying a document from a search result list and displaying an image.

In the above embodiment, it was explained that the image index of the first page of six documents is displayed, a certain target document is specified, and the image to be preprinted is searched for by turning the page. There is also a method in which when one of these is specified, the image index of six pages from the first page of the document is displayed on the screen again, and the target image is searched for from among them and the peg board operation is performed. or.

The number of image indexes that can be displayed on the screen at one time is not limited to six.

In the above explanation as well, the basic configuration of this system is the same as in the previous example.

[Effects] As described above, according to the present invention, by using images for retrieval, it is possible to quickly perform a continuous search for images of various pages of various documents.
