Here, the operation of a practical example will be explained with reference to the above figures.

First, the operation from power-on until the initial screen is displayed will be explained according to the flowchart of FIG. 41.

When the power of the device is turned on, a self-diagnosis test is first performed under the control of the CPU 1 to ensure that the inside of the device operates normally.

Normally, a CRT display device cannot display images immediately after power is turned on, and requires a waiting time of several seconds. This test is conducted using this waiting time and does not interfere with operation. However, testing all hardware functions is more complex and
Since this is expensive, ROM and RAM are generally tested (step A11 in FIG. 41).

If an abnormality is found in this test, a message to that effect is displayed on the CRT display 8 to warn the operator (steps A12 and A17 in FIG. 41).

Also, if it is normal, the next step is to check the connection status of the connected external device (steps A12 and A13 in Figure 41).
.

If the connection status is normal, the initial screen as shown in Figure 5 will be displayed, and the operator will be waiting for instructions to be input (see Figure 4).
Figure 1 Step A14. A15). If the condition is not normal, a warning message is displayed and an initial screen is displayed (steps A14 to A16 in FIG. 41).

In this initial screen display state, the cursor mark 504 on the display screen moves as the mouse 6 is moved, points to any icon 501 with the cursor, and presses the mouse 6 with Ls (single click of the left button). ), it becomes possible to select a desired icon.

Here, for example, operate the mouse 6 to select the cursor mark 50.
4 to “Operation” on the menu bar (MB) 502.

Move up, Ls (single click left button)
By operating it, it shifts to the "operation" processing mode. , The operation of "operation" on this menu bar (MB) will be explained with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 42.

Before "operation" is selected, the target of the operation must be determined. This will be discussed later.

That is, the basic operation of the apparatus of the present invention is to always specify "what" first, and then instruct "what to do."

Here, we will explain how to do the above.

First, select "Operation" on the menu bar (MB) 502 and press the left button (L) of the mouse 6. As a result, a pull-down menu 503 related to operation parameters is displayed (fourth
Figure 2 step B11). At this time, the overlapping part of the display on the screen for displaying the pull-down menu is the video memory 7.
It is saved to the work area in 1. Then, when the pull-down menu is deleted later, the saved screen information is restored.

While holding down the left button (L) of the mouse 6, move the mouse 6 to select the pull-down menu 503. As a result, the specified command in the pull-down menu is displayed in reverse video according to the movement of the cursor (steps 812 to B15 in FIG. 42). At this time, even if the cursor points outside the pull-down command frame, the highlighted display will not change.

With the desired command highlighted, press mouse 6
By releasing the left button (L), that command is selected, the pull-down menu is cleared, and the original screen is then restored (Step 81 in Figure 42).
6).

Here, if the open command is selected.

(Step 317 in FIG. 42), the operation differs depending on the object of the oven. This will be explained in detail in the flowcharts starting from (Part 2) in the same figure.

If the close command is selected, the corresponding image is closed (step 818°B19 in FIG. 42).

Next, the target icon or icon list is deleted (step B20 in FIG. 42).

In FIG. 43, the mouse 6 is moved to point to the scanner icon on the initial screen, and the Ls (single click of the left button) operation is performed to instruct input from the image scanner 14.

At this time, the designated icon 501 is highlighted and “
operation'' (steps C11 to C13 in Figure 43)
). At this point, the target of the "operation" can be changed. Place the cursor on the desired icon and press mouse 6 Ls
When you (single-click the left button), the highlighted icon returns to normal display, and the newly specified icon becomes highlighted. That is, as mentioned above, it is a matter of selecting "what".

When this scanner icon 501 is selected and the above-mentioned ``operation'' and then ``open'' are selected, the menu bar changes from an icon operation menu bar to an image processing menu bar, and a work view for image processing is displayed. It will be established.

The frame size of this work view can be changed using the enlargement/reduction function described later, but as an initial display, the area DB in Fig. 17 and the screen as shown in Fig. 22 are used. displayed on the right half.

At this time, if a document view has already been opened, the size of the frame of the document view is adjusted so that the screen size of the document view and the work view are the same. If opening a work view does not impact the size of the document view frame, it will remain as it is.

Next, a property sheet for image input is displayed at the lower right of the S side as shown as area DC in FIG. 17, and is used to set various parameters.

FIG. 44 is a flowchart for explaining the operation when inputting image information from an external storage device.

As explained on the initial screen, various devices are supported here as external storage devices. Any of these external jC! ! ! Specify the device icon (here, fixed disk/cartridge disk/optical disk/floppy disk) 501 with the cursor, and press the mouse 6 with Ls.
By (single-clicking the left button), the designated icon is displayed in reverse video and becomes the target of the above-mentioned "operation" (steps D11 to D13 in FIG. 44). When this external storage device icon is selected, the above-mentioned “operation”
When “Open” is selected, the directory is read from the target external storage device and a list of folders is displayed.
The icon is deleted (42nd cause steps 841 to B4)
3).

FIGS. 45 and 46 are flowcharts illustrating the operations up to displaying a document.

A document in the device according to the invention has a llJ layer structure. Also, multiple document folders can be stored in the external storage device. A plurality of documents are stored in the document folder.

Further, a document is composed of a plurality of pages. All of these are designed to facilitate document retrieval.

Icon display control when selecting these icons (steps E11 to E13 in Figure 45, steps F11 to F1 in Figure 46)
3) is substantially the same as FIGS. 43 and 44 described above, and detailed explanation thereof will be omitted here.

If you select one of the folder icons (Fig. 45) and specify "Open" as above,
The document list is displayed on the CR7 screen (steps 821 to B23 in Figure 3142).

You can also select one document icon in the document list.
6), if you "open" as described above, the first page of the desired document will be displayed in the document view (42nd step 824).
~828). The size of the document view frame at this time is set as large as there is room on the screen. It is usually set on the left half of the screen.

FIGS. 47 and 48 are flowcharts illustrating the operations up to displaying an image in the work view.

Images in the device according to the present invention have a hierarchical structure. Furthermore, each image stored in the external storage device has an image name added to it.

This image name can be set as a group name, which is very convenient when searching for images.

When the group name list is displayed as shown in Figure 14 (when no confidential word is specified) or Figure 15 (when a confidential word is specified), point the cursor to the group name icon and press the mouse 6. When the user operates Ls (single click of the left button), the icon is selected and displayed in reverse video, and becomes the target of the above-mentioned operation (steps 011 to G13 in FIG. 47). When this icon is specified and ``operation panel'' is selected, the image name included in the group name - %
is displayed (steps 830 to B55 in FIG. 42).

Spaces are also allowed in group names here.

When the image name list as shown in Figure 16 is displayed, point the cursor to the image name icon and press the mouse button 6.
When you operate Ls (single click of the left button), that icon is selected and displayed in reverse video, and becomes the target of the above-mentioned "operation". When this icon is designated and "operation" and then "oven" are selected, image information based on the designation is displayed in the work view shown in FIG. 22. Along with this, the icon list is deleted (the fourth
Figure 2 steps 336-B40).

FIG. 49 is a flowchart showing the processing flow related to the operation of the five icon areas.

Here, due to screen size constraints, only up to 15 icons can be displayed at one time, as shown in FIG. 10.

Generally, it is well known that there are 16 or more icons, and for this purpose, "previous page" and "next page" marks (Pa, PN) are used as page operation marks.

Here, as shown in FIG. 10, 15 icons are sequentially displayed as a unit. At this time, the icon-list display area 1
The page number currently being displayed is displayed at the upper right corner of 01. Also, "previous page, next page" marks (PB).

PN) is replaced with a space when the page being displayed is the first page or the last page, respectively, to prevent erroneous operations and also serve as a guide display for the operator (Steps 11 to 22 in Figure 49). .

FIG. 50 is a flowchart showing a processing flow related to document view scrolling.

While the display screen size of a device is fixed, document page sizes vary.

Since document pages are generally larger, it is not possible to view the entire page on one screen. At this time, the horizontal and vertical scrolling functions become effective.

As shown in Figure 18, the four corners of the document view are ↑″, ↓.
”, ゛”, “←′°Move the cursor to the mark (SC) and press mouse 6 Ls (single-click the left button)
By operating, the correspondence view can be scrolled by one dot in the vertical and horizontal directions, as shown in FIGS. 20(a) and 20(b).

If you hold down the left button of the mouse 6 (Lh operation), continuous scrolling is possible. At this time,
It is impossible to scroll while maintaining the page size.

The marks on the four sides of the document view indicated by diagonal lines in FIG. 20 indicate which part of the input image information is displayed in the document view, and are updated each time the document view is scrolled.

Further, during the scrolling operation, if further scrolling is impossible (reaching the limit), the scroll mark (SC) is erased to prevent further scrolling and also as a warning. This mark (SC) will be displayed again when the limiting condition is no longer present.

FIG. 51 is a flowchart showing the processing flow related to page turning in the document view.

Mark the ``previous page'' and ``next page'' marks (Pa, PN) at the four corners of the document view shown in FIG.

(Single-click the left button) As shown in Figure 21, 11 pages will be displayed for the currently displayed page.
+1 page can be displayed (1 in step 51)
1 to 14, or 11. K12°KlB).

At this time, if the currently displayed page is the first page, the ``previous page'' mark (PB) is replaced with a space, and if it is the last page, the ``next page'' mark (PN) is replaced with a space. (16. K17. K in step 51)
20. K22).

This serves both to prevent erroneous operations and to provide guidance to the operator. Furthermore, the display area indicator indicated by diagonal lines in the figure is also updated each time the page is turned (Step 15.K19 in Figure 51).

FIG. 52 is a flowchart showing the processing flow related to scrolling of the work view.

In the work view on the screen shown in FIG. 22, input images are displayed on a one-to-one basis in accordance with the resolution of the input image information.

Generally, A4 size image information has a resolution of 8 lines/
Even if the number of pixels is 1,680 dots in the horizontal direction and 2,376 dots in the vertical direction, this is a huge amount and cannot be displayed on a single screen on a normal display.

For this reason, a scrolling function in the horizontal and vertical directions is essential.

↑″, “↓Pa,” at the four corners of the work view shown in Figure 22.
°゛,'←Move the cursor to the pa mark (SC), move the mouse 6, and press s (single click with the left button) to display Figure 23 (a).

As shown in (b), the work view can be scrolled vertically and horizontally in units of one dot (step L in Figure 52).
11-L46).

Now press and hold the left mouse button 6.
(operate Lh), continuous scrolling becomes possible (Step 16-L21°L22-L27 in Fig. 52).
L31-L36.141-L46).

At this time, it is impossible to scroll beyond the input size limit. The same applies when the input size is smaller than the work view.

In Figure 23, the diagonal lines on the four sides of the working view (displayed in black on the display screen) indicate which part of the input image information is displayed in the working view. Yes, and updated every time it is scrolled.

FIG. 5.3 is a flowchart showing a processing flow related to enlarging/reducing a work view.

Enlarging/reducing the working view does not involve enlarging/reducing the input image information itself, but rather changes the size of the working view as a display window.

When saving, etc., the range displayed in this work view is valid.

Mark any of the enlarge/H small marks LS, LS, ... in the four corners of the work view shown in Figs. 22 and 23, place the cursor on S, and press the left button of the mouse 6. If you move the cursor while holding down the same button (Lh operation), the same mark will follow and be displayed according to the current value of the cursor. In other words, this will cause the display in Figure 24 (a) and (b) ), the working view as a display window is enlarged/reduced.The size of the working view is fixed when the button of the mouse 6 is released.

Furthermore, it is impossible to enlarge the image beyond the screen size (steps M11 to M44 in FIG. 53).

Note that in FIG. 24, the marks shown with diagonal lines on the four sides of the work view are the same marks as those used during scrolling.

FIGS. 54 and 55 are flowcharts showing the processing flow when setting an image area within a document.

Here, first, an image frame is set within the document page.

When the left button (L) of the mouse 6 is pressed within the document, the designated coordinate point becomes one point of the frame, as shown in factor 27. From then on, this coordinate point will be fixed (step N in Figure 54).
11). Then, as similarly shown in FIG. 27, by moving the cursor while holding down the button (L) of the mouse 6, another point changes. The area frame follows this change. When the button on the mouse 6 is released, the area frame becomes fixed (steps N12 to N18 in FIG. 54).

You can also move the cursor to set the frame,
At the stage when the latest area frame is set, the previous area frame is deleted. That is, there is only one current area frame on the screen.

After setting the area, if you select "Create Area" on the menu bar, a pull-down menu (PDM) as shown in Figure 27 will be displayed (Step o11 in Figure 51).
). By selecting this pull-down menu, you can define the type of area (steps 012 to 02 in Figure 55).
3). The relationship between the menu bar, pull-down menu, and property sheet at this time is shown in FIG.

FIG. 55 shows a processing flow when defining an image area.

By selecting "Image" from the pull-down menu, the menu bar becomes a menu bar for image processing as shown in FIG. 7(f).

Also, at this time, a work view for image processing is opened.

The size of this working view can be changed using the zoom in/out function as described above, but in the initial display, the right half of the screen is fixed and displayed as described above (see Figure 17). Become.

FIG. 56 is a flowchart for explaining the setting process of a property sheet for setting an image area.

Here, as the frame line of the image frame as the area, the 28th
Various line types can be selected as shown in the area creation property sheet in the figure. Furthermore, in this case, the line type and its thickness can be set separately.

In FIG. 28, the shaded area is selected as the initial display and is displayed in reverse.

If you do not need to change this setting, just select "Finish".Also, if you want to change it, move the cursor to the input frame of the item you want to change and press mouse 6 to Lg.
(single-click the left button), the highlighted display changes to the specified one (step P15 in Figure 56).

When the changes are complete, select "Complete" as described above.

When "Complete" is selected, the specified frame line is displayed at the specified frame position (steps P13 to P22 in FIG. 56).
P23).

The information of this property sheet is registered in the system initial information area reserved in advance in the main memory 2, and from then on,
This is used for initial display when displaying this property sheet (steps P24 and P25 in FIG. 56). In other words, the latest selected information is always displayed.

FIG. 57 is a flowchart showing a processing flow related to image input from various devices.

Point to “Input” on the menu bar and press the left button of mouse 6 (
By pressing L), a pull-down menu (PDM) regarding input is displayed as shown in FIG.

The relationship between the menu bar, pull-down menu, and property sheet in this case is shown in FIG. 29.

By selecting an arbitrary pull-down menu command from the pull-down menu and releasing the left button (L) of the mouse 6, the command is selected and the pull-down menu is deleted.

For example, if "Image Scanner" is selected, the property sheet display area (DC
), a property sheet for the image scanner as shown in FIG. 31(a) is displayed, and the input settings are awaited (steps Q11, Q12, and Q16 in FIG. 57).
Q19. Q23). Here, if the unit is manually set and the unit is shoes, the display state will be as shown in FIG. 31(b), and if the unit is also manually set and the unit is inch, the display state will be as shown in FIG. 31(C).

Also, if any of the external storage devices is selected,
A dedicated property sheet as shown in Figure 32 is displayed in the property sheet display area (DC), and the input settings are awaited (Steps Q20 to Q2 in Figure 57).
3). Here, FIG. 32(a) shows the case where the secret word designation is unnecessary, and FIG. 32(b) shows the case where the secret word designation is necessary.
) indicate cases where only the confidential word is required.

In addition to inputting image data, the following pull-down menu is provided for operating the work view.

If you specify "Redisplay", a property sheet as shown in Figure 33 will be displayed, and you can select the image that was stacked by closing the working view and display it again in the working view (Steps 031 to Q37 in Figure 57). ).However, if the image information is already displayed in the work view or there is no stacked image information, this command operation will be invalid. ) and (C) are cases in which there is image information in the stack area, respectively (in Figure (b), stack number 1.2 is in use, and stack number @2 is highlighted because it has been used most recently). In addition, FIG. 3C shows that the stack area is full and stack number 4 is highlighted because it is the most recently used stack area.

When "Initialize" is specified, the display of the work view is cleared (Steps Q38 and Q39 in Figure 57).

Also, when 'closed' is specified, the image information is stacked and the working view is deleted as instructed on the property sheet. Figure 34 shows the property sheet when 'closed' is specified, and (a) in the same figure shows the stacked image information. If the area is empty, E4(b
) and (C) are cases in which the stack area is already in use, of which figure (b) shows a case in which stack number 3 is used (stack number 1 is reserved for system use). (C) shows a case where the stack area is full.

FIG. 58 is a flowchart for explaining the process of setting the confidential contractor property sheet.

If a group name with a confidential device (password) is specified in the image input described above, this property sheet will be displayed. You cannot properly "complete" unless you enter the correct secret device. If you complete the process without entering the secret device, or if you enter the wrong secret device, a guide will be displayed (step R11 for cause 58).
~R13°R19~R24). Confidential device settings can be set on a group-by-group basis when saving images, which will be described later.

When the correct confidential device is input, all image names belonging to that group name are displayed as a list (steps R21, R23, R25 to R27 in FIG. 58).

FIG. 59 is a flowchart for explaining internal processing operations from setting the property sheet for image input to displaying the read image information in the work view.

As shown in FIG. 31(a), the property sheet used here is set in the default setting by selecting the most frequently used case. Therefore, if there is no change, just move the cursor to [Done] and operate the mouse 6 La (single click the left button). Also, if you want to change it, place the cursor on the part you want to change and press the mouse 6 Ls (
By single-clicking the left button, the inverted display position is changed as shown in FIGS. 31(b) and 31(C), and the setting parameters are changed (steps 818 to 530 in FIG. 59).

For example, as shown in FIG. 31(a), "auto" is set as the initial value and is displayed in reverse video.

This is a case where information such as resolution set as the scanner device can be read. However, some scanner devices may not be able to read the data, and in this case, as shown in FIG. To do so, move the cursor to “Manual” and press mouse 6
By operating (single click on the left button),
What has been highlighted as "auto" is now changed to "manual" as shown in FIG. 31(b).

This then makes it possible to set the resolution.

There are two types of resolution settings: unit designation and numerical value indicating resolution. There are two types of units available: "m" and "inch". If you place the cursor on the desired frame and operate the mouse 6 Ls (single click the left button), the desired unit will be highlighted and the resolution unit will be displayed. The display corresponds to FIG. 31(b).

As shown in (C), it is changed to 'dot/M' or 'dot/inch' (steps 831 to 539 in Fig.
). The resolution can be specified by moving the cursor to the entry position and operating the mouse 6 Ls (single click with the left button), allowing numerical input from the keyboard 5. The end of numerical input at this time is instructed by the "selection/execution" key 1-.

After completing the above settings, click the mouse 6
By operating Ls (single click of the left button), the image scanner 14 is activated, image information is input, and is displayed in the work view on the display screen of the CRT display 8 (steps 841 to 5 in FIG. 59).
45). At this time, the property sheet is erased by operating the Ls (single click of the left button) of the mouse 6 and selecting "reset" (step S12° in FIG. 59, $13). Furthermore, by selecting "Cancel", all the set parameters are returned to their initial states (steps 315 to $17 in FIG. 59).

Incidentally, when "Complete" is selected, this property sheet is registered in the system initial information area in the main memory 2 and used as initial information.

FIG. 60 is a flowchart showing the processing flow when specifying image input from the external storage 1i using a property sheet. As shown in FIG. 32, the most frequently used property sheets are selected and initialized. Here, the device number corresponds to this, and the first
"01Pa" is set as JfIi. If you want to change this, specify the input frame to be changed and operate the mouse 6 Ls (single click with the left button). Device number, group name, image name etc. are input in this way,
It can be corrected (steps T20 to T31 in FIG. 60).

At this time, a space (b) is stored as an initial value for the group name and image name.

When the input is completed, move the cursor to ``Done'' and operate the mouse 6 (single-click the left button), and the property sheet will disappear (Step T14 in Figure 60.
15. T41. ...).

At this time, the specification of the group name and image name will be as shown below.

1) When neither the group name nor the image name is specified This case is used when you do not know what is contained in the target external storage device.

Here, if a group name is specified in the image information in the target external storage device, all group 8 will be displayed in a list (steps T14 T54 T55. T5 in Fig. 60).
7. T58). At this time, there are cases where image names without a group name are included, and in this case, the group name is displayed as a space.

As mentioned above, point to one of the group names with the mouse 6, operate the mouse 6 with Ls (single click the left button), then select "Operation" from the menu bar, and then select "Oven" from the pull-down menu. As a result, a list of image names included in the group name is displayed (steps T41 to T48 and T51 in FIG. 60).

If no group is specified, a list of image names is displayed directly (steps T41, T54, and T5 in Figure 60).
5. T57. T59).

Next, select one of the image name icons and perform "operation" and "oven" in the same manner as described above to display the desired image in the work view (step T14 in Figure 60).
．． T53).

2) Group name specified, image name not specified This case is the same as selecting the group name icon in 1) above.

3) Image name specified, group name specified In this case, image information is input and displayed from the image name belonging to the specified group name (step T49 in FIG. 60).

4) Image name specified, group name not specified In this case, input image information from the group name or the image name belonging to the space and display it (Step T56 in Figure 60)
.

In either case, once the image has been displayed in the work view, the menu bar is returned to the original image display.

If the group name specified in 2) and 3) is specified, a confidential word is checked (step 742 in Fig. 60).
~T45).

That is, if a group name with a secret word specified is specified, the operation will not be completed unless the correct secret word is input. Furthermore, upon completion, this property sheet is registered in the system initial information area and becomes the initial display from now on, but the secret word must be set each time.

FIG. 61 is a flowchart for explaining the redisplay property sheet setting process.

As shown in FIG. 33, this property sheet displays the stack number corresponding to the stacked image information together with the input frame.

At this time, the latest stack number is highlighted. By selecting the stack number with the cursor and selecting ``Complete,'' the corresponding image information is displayed in the work view (Steps IJ11 to U21 in Figure 61). As a result, the corresponding stack number input frame is deleted from the redisplay property sheet, and the corresponding stack number input frame is added to the closing property sheet as shown in FIG. This property sheet is updated and registered in the system initial information area, and becomes the initial display the next time properties are displayed (steps U22 and LJ23 in FIG. 61).

This operation is invalid if the working view has not been initialized or if the working view has not been opened. Property sheets are not updated. Also, “reset” and “cancellation” are the same as Haku's property sheet (No. 63)
Cause step W12. U17゜U14. LI24. U2

FIG. 62 is a flowchart for explaining the closing property sheet setting process.

In the initial state, input boxes for stack numbers @2 to 4 are displayed, as shown in 341(a).

At this time, stack number 1 is reserved for system use and cannot be selected.

By selecting a stack number and selecting "Complete", the corresponding stack number input frame is deleted from the closing property sheet as shown in Figure 34(b), while the third
The corresponding stack number input frame is added to the property sheet for redisplay shown in Figure 3 (Figure 62 Stay 7 V
11~V 1G, V 18°v19).

This property sheet is updated and registered in the system initial information area, as in the case of redisplay, and becomes the initial display the next time the property sheet is displayed (steps V20 to 62 in Figure 62).
■23).

If the input frame is not displayed, that is, if all stacks are used, complete this operation by clicking “Reset” (
63rd cause step W12. V17).

In addition, the most recently used stack number will be the 33rd stack number when redisplaying.
It is displayed in reverse video as shown in Figure (b) and serves as a guide.

FIG. 63 is a flowchart for explaining image information storage processing.

Here, point to ° “Save” on the menu bar and use the mouse 6
When the left button (L) is pressed, a pull-down menu (PDM) as shown in FIG. 37 is displayed (63rd factor step W11).

From this displayed pull-down menu (PDM), select the storage location of the image information while holding down the button (C) of the mouse 6 (steps W12 to W15 in FIG. 63). At this time, the highlighted display changes according to the movement of the mouse, similar to other menu selections.

When the desired menu is selected and the button (L) of the mouse 6 is released, the pull-down menu (PDM) is cleared and a property sheet as shown in Fig. 38 is displayed, waiting for input of the property sheet (No. 63). Cause step W1
2. W16-W20).

FIG. 64 is a flowchart for explaining the setting process of the property sheet for saving image information.

Here, when 'Reset'° is selected, nothing is done except erase the property sheet (Fig. 64, Step X).
12. X13).

Also, when "Cancel" is selected, the various set parameters are returned to the initial state (steps X16 to X19 in Figure 64).
).

At this time, in the initial state, as shown in FIG. 38, the device number is "01" and all others are spaces.

Also, when "Complete" is selected, confirm that the settings are completed and save the image information of the work view to the specified device (Steps X14 and X15 in Figure 64. X41 to X
50).

At this time, there are three types of setting parameters: "device number", "group name", and "image name".

Among these, the "device number" is a number used to specify which device to select when a plurality of devices of the same type are connected. In this case, place the cursor on the ``device number'', operate the mouse 6 Ls (single-click the left button), and enter the numerical value (steps X2O-X22 in Figure 64>.Input at this time Exit is a “select/execute” key.

Furthermore, "group name" is used for hierarchical management as a means of information management, and is not an essential input item (steps X23 to X25 in FIG. 64).

In addition, ``Image name'' is either a name used for information identification or a required input item, and if it is a required input item, move the cursor and click the mouse button 6.
Operate Ls (single-click the left button) to input characters (Steps X32 to X34 in Figure 64). In this case as well, the input is terminated by pressing the "select/execute" key.

Note that the device number designation becomes the display initial value when the designated number is displayed next time.

The device number is '01' as the initial value, and if changed, that number will be displayed as the initial value from now on.

The initial value of the group name is a space, and if you change it, that name will be displayed as the initial value from now on.

The initial value for secret word designation is "no", and if you change it, that designation will be displayed as the initial value from now on.

Note that if you specify a secret word to be specified, a guide and input frame for entering the confidential word will be displayed, and if you specify "No", the display will be erased (steps X26 to 64 in Figure 64).
×28).

The secret word must be set every time.

The initial value of the image name is a space, and if you change it, that name will be displayed as the initial value from now on.

Selecting “Finish” will check the image name (
FIG. 64 Step X14. X15. X41°X42
).

When saving an image, the image name is a required item.

Also, if the secret word is specified as "Yes", the group name and secret word settings are mandatory items. In particular, there is no way to display confidential words, so care must be taken when handling them.

FIG. 65 and FIG. 66 are flowcharts relating to editing of image information.

At this time, the read image information is displayed in the work view (DB) shown in FIG. Frames are designated for necessary locations within this work view using the same procedure as for area setting (steps Y11 to Y18 in FIG. 65).

After this, select "Edit" on the menu bar and select "Cut" on the pull-down menu (PDM).The contents of the pull-down menu when "Edit" is selected on the menu bar at this time are shown in Figure 39. .

As a result, the specified frame is transferred to the base buffer, and the image within the frame of one working view is cleared. At this time,
The image information previously stored in the paste buffer is cleared (steps 711 to z19 in FIG. 66).

Next, a storage area is created at the image information transfer destination (ie, document view) (step 220 in FIG. 66).

By selecting "Edit" from the menu bar and "Paste" from the pull-down menu, the information already stored in the base buffer is transferred to the set area frame (steps X14 and Z22 in FIG. 64). On this occasion,
If the transfer sizes are inconsistent, the extra range is discarded.

As described above, when editing text, any image can be extracted and displayed on the work view with a simple operation. or,
The entire area of the view opened on the display screen is regarded as the entire display target screen, and the indicator area indicates which part of the entire screen the screen part displayed in the corresponding view is in a specific display form. By displaying the information in the display area, it is possible to easily recognize which part of the document page the view information is currently in from the display content in the display area indicator area. Editing of documents including images can be smoothly performed by effectively using a narrow display screen.
