Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION <Technical Field of the Invention> The present invention relates to a document image file device useful for assisting in organizing document images.

<Prior Art and its Problems> Efficiently performing office work such as document files using information processing systems is attracting attention. This type of office work can be roughly divided into the work of filing document images, the work of searching and extracting the target document image from the filed document images, and the work of organizing, classifying and editing document images. Ru. In particular, classification and editing work includes sorting searched documents according to their purpose of use, re-filing due to changes in file specifications, and discarding unnecessary documents that occur due to changes over time. The use of the above-mentioned information processing systems has been accompanied by great difficulties.

That is, in the conventional document image file device, a document image file is searched according to the purpose of use,
The document images extracted through this search are repeatedly registered in new files for each purpose of use, thereby classifying the document images. Therefore, in this case, it is necessary to search all document images filed for each classification item, which requires a great deal of time and effort.

<Objective of the Invention> The present invention has been made in consideration of the above circumstances, and its purpose is to provide a highly practical document image that allows document images to be classified and organized at high speed and efficiently. The purpose of this invention is to provide a file device.

<Structure of the Invention> The present invention displays a document image read from a document image information storage device at a specific position on a display screen of a display device, and uses a position information input device to display the document image on the display screen. Selectively directly specify a position other than the displayed specific position, input the classification destination for the document image displayed at the specified position, and then input the classification destination position specified on this display screen. The document image is moved and displayed. Then, by temporarily storing the document images moved and displayed in the classification destination position in the image memory, the document image classification process can be performed on the display screen of the display device in the same way as paper work. It is characterized by the fact that it can be obtained.

<Effects of the Invention> According to the device of the present invention having such a configuration, the displayed document images are classified and displayed at the display screen position of the classification destination by directly specifying the classification destination on the display screen, and these Since document images are temporarily stored together for each classification destination, it is possible to quickly and accurately classify each target item by simply specifying the classification destination of the document image on the display screen. becomes. Moreover, the device configuration can be easily realized, and the practical advantage is enormous, making a great contribution to the document image file system.

<Embodiment of the Invention> An embodiment of the invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a schematic configuration diagram of an embodiment device. The document image information storage device 1 stores information on a plurality of document images inputted through an input device (not shown), and is configured with a large-capacity memory such as a magnetic drum, for example. The document image information read from the storage device 1 is once stored in the first display image memory 2, and then displayed on the CRT display 3.
The image is displayed. In addition, the indicated coordinate detection unit 4 consisting of a light pen device etc.
This is to detect the coordinates of the indicated position on the screen of the display 3 indicated by a. On the screen of the display 3, designated coordinate areas are assigned and specified in advance according to the classification items of the document image, and therefore, the classification information ( Search information) can now be inputted. Then, according to this classification information, the display 3
The information on the document image to be displayed is temporarily stored in the second display image memory 5 for each classification item. Further, the information on the document image temporarily stored in the second display image memory 5 is read out and supplied to the display 3 again, and is displayed in the screen area set corresponding to the classification item.

Note that the reading and transfer of information on these document images is performed via the data bus 6, and these controls are performed by the central controller 7 via the control bus 8.

Now, in the apparatus configured as described above, the display screen 3 has its display screen area set as shown in FIG. That is, the document image to be searched (classified) read out from the storage device 1 and temporarily stored in the first display image memory 2 is displayed in the upper center area A of the display screen. This area A is fixedly determined so as to always display document images to be searched. On the other hand, in the lower area of the display screen, for example, there are 3 classification items.
If it is an item, left area B, middle area C, right area D
The screen is divided into three areas as shown in FIG.
Therefore, when a certain position on the display screen is indicated by the light pen 4a according to the attributes of the document image displayed in area A, it is difficult to determine which area B, C, or D the indicated coordinate position belongs to. Therefore, classification (search) information for the document image is provided. Then, according to the designated classification information, the information of the document image displayed in area A is temporarily stored in the memory area of the corresponding classification item of the image memory 5, and simultaneously displayed in the designated screen area. . However, these areas B,
In C and D, a plurality of classified document images are superimposed and displayed for each classification item. This overlapping display is performed by, for example, displaying a new document image at a position slightly shifted from the previously classified document image position each time document images are classified into the same classification item. This will be done in such a way that the number of sheets can be confirmed.
Needless to say, such display control is performed under the control of the central control device 7. Then, the information on the document image that has been classified as described above is stored again in the document image information storage device 1 for each classification item, and the classification and re-filing of the document image is completed here. Note that the settings of areas B, C, and D corresponding to the classification items may be performed later in conjunction with the document image classification work.

According to this apparatus configured in this way, it becomes possible to sequentially classify each displayed document image into its intended classification item. Moreover, the document images can be accurately classified while monitoring the classified and displayed document images in areas B, C, and D, checking the classification category, and directly specifying the display area corresponding to the classification category. be able to. This work is similar to document classification work using paper work, so it is very easy to handle. In addition, since classification information can be given to each displayed document image each time, there is no need to repeatedly search for the same document image as in conventional devices, and it is possible to work quickly and efficiently. . Therefore, it is very simple and can refile document images without causing the complexity of paper work or requiring a lot of effort and time as with conventional devices, and has many practical advantages. It is. Also, the device configuration is simple, so
It is easy to incorporate into various document processing systems, and has great effects such as improving the efficiency of office work.

<Another embodiment of the invention> The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment. For example, a document image reduction/enlargement function may be added to display classified document images in a reduced size. Furthermore, the number of classification areas is not particularly limited. In particular, when the number of classification areas is limited due to the resolution of the display 3, etc., reclassification may be performed after rough classification. Furthermore, it is of course possible to extract only the necessary document area of the document image to be subjected to classification and to perform classification processing on this. Furthermore, a display capable of three-dimensional display may be used to clearly express the amount of classified document images. In short, the present invention can be implemented with various modifications without departing from the gist thereof.
