2. Description of the Related Art An electronic filing device is a device that can be used as an electronic medium when filing information using paper such as data and drawings. As the electronic medium for filing, an optical disc is used because of its features such as large capacity, good storage and preservation, portability, and quick search by random access. For example, there is one shown in FIG.

In FIG. 4, reference numeral 1 is a central processing unit (CPU) for performing data processing and control of the entire apparatus, 2 is a main storage device, 3 is an operating system and a data registration processing program, and is used as a buffer memory. It is a magnetic disk device. The operating system and the data registration processing program are loaded from the magnetic disk device 3 to the main storage device 2. An optical disk device 4 as a file memory writes / reads image data to / from an optical disk 5, which is a storage medium. A writable and erasable optical disc is used for the optical disc device 4. Reference numeral 6 is a control device for the optical disk device 4. Reference numeral 7 is a display device used for dialogue with an operator, and is provided with a keyboard 8 and a mouse 9 as input means. A display control device 10 controls the display device 7 and controls the keyboard 8 and the mouse 9. Reference numeral 11 is an image scanner that photoelectrically reads a document, 12 is a printer that outputs data stored in the optical disk 5 as hard copy, and 13 is an input / output control device that controls input / output of data to / from these.

An example of a conventional page turning operation procedure in such an electronic file device will be described. In this case, as shown in FIG. 5 (1), “A” is displayed on the first page,
"I" on the second page, "U" on the third page, ...
As shown in FIG. 5 (2), the document configured as described above is sequentially turned page by page from the first page, or as shown in FIG. 5 (3), one screen is displayed. There is a method of equally dividing into a plurality of small screens (4 × 4 16 equal divisions in this figure), displaying one page on each divided screen, and updating the pages displayed on the divided screen one after another. ..

When the data stored on the optical disk 5 is searched, the electronic file device is set to the search mode, and a keyword is input and specified from the keyboard 8 or the mouse 9. The recorded management information is read, the corresponding image data is read according to the address of the corresponding keyword in the management information, and the image data is displayed on the display device 7 or is output from the printer 12 as hard copy. In recent years, an optical disk 5 capable of writing and erasing has appeared, and it is becoming widespread in the future, and the application of electronic file devices is also expanding.

[0006]

However, according to such a conventional page turning method, when the display speed of the image is increased, the method of sequentially displaying one page at a time on the one screen causes all the displays on one screen to be successively displayed. However, there was a problem that it was difficult to confirm the target page. On the other hand, in the method of dividing a screen and displaying a plurality of pages, there is a problem that the display time per page is long, but the resolution is poor, and it is difficult to determine the target page.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a page turning device of an electronic filing device in which a desired page can be easily confirmed and high speed page turning can be performed. Is.

[0008]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides a method for displaying an image on an electronic filing device,
The gist is that the first page of the displayed document is entirely displayed, while the second and subsequent pages are overwritten and displayed in a small display area on the first page.
In this case, a plurality of pages can be displayed side by side according to a predetermined rule on the second and subsequent pages.

[0009]

When the document is called and the pages are turned, only the first page is displayed on the entire screen, which allows the contents of the document to be judged to some extent. Next, since the second and subsequent pages are sequentially displayed on a screen divided into a part of the screen, relatively fast page turning can be performed, and
The target page can be easily confirmed.

Is a magnetic disk device that stores an operating system and a data registration processing program and is used as a buffer memory. The operating system and the data registration processing program are executed by the magnetic disk device 23.
Is loaded from the main storage device 22. An optical disk device 24 as a file memory writes / reads image data to / from the optical disk 25 as a storage medium. A writable and erasable optical disc is used for the optical disc device 24. Reference numeral 26 is a control device for the optical disk device 24. Reference numeral 27 is a display device used for dialogue with an operator and the like, and is provided with a keyboard 28 and a mouse 29 as input means. Three
Reference numeral 0 is a display control device, and the display device 2
In addition to the control of 7, the control relating to the keyboard 28 and the mouse 29 is performed.

The operation of the page-turning device having the above structure will be described below. First, when a page turning instruction and a target document are designated from the keyboard 28 or the mouse 29, the central processing unit 21 activates the optical disc device 24 and calls the relevant document from the optical disc 25. The data of the retrieved document is transferred to the display device 27 through the display control device 10. On the display device 27, the documents are sequentially displayed from the first page.

FIG. 2 is a diagram for sequentially explaining the change of the screen 31 due to the page turning operation in the above embodiment. Also in the operation of this embodiment, as in the conventional example,
As shown in FIG. 2 (1), a document that is drawn as "A" on the first page, "I" on the second page, "U" on the third page, ... Let's look at the case of sequentially turning pages in (Document 1).

When the page turning of the document 1 is started, first, the first page is displayed on the screen 31 of the display device 27 in full screen as shown in FIG. Then, FIG.
As shown in (3), screens 32a, 32b, 32c, and 32d that are horizontally divided into four parts appear at the bottom of the screen, and the second page and the third screen are displayed on the respective divided screens 32a to 32d.
The page, the fourth page, and the fifth page are displayed in this order in the form of reduced images. These divided screens 32a to 32
d is displayed so as to overlap with the image of the first page which was previously displayed in full screen. When the display of the split screens 32a to 32d is finished, as shown in FIG.
Split screen 3 for another line in the row adjacent to the upper side of ~ 32d
2e, 32f, 32g, 32h appear, and the second split screen 32e to 32h that has been displayed so far
The fifth page to the fifth page are shifted. On the other hand, the sixth screen, the seventh page, the eighth page, and the ninth page are newly displayed in the order of reduced images on the divided screens 32a to 32d that have appeared from the front. These split screens 3
2e to 32h newly appear on the screen 31 one step above the divided screens 32a to 32d, so that the image of the first page is deleted by this one step.

When the display of each new page on the split screens 32a to 32d is finished and the tenth page and thereafter are displayed, the split screens are increased further as shown in FIG. 2 (5). Instead, the page turning is performed in the range of the divided screens 32a to 32h while sequentially shifting the display pages from the divided screens 32a to 32d to the divided screens 32e to 32h (that is, from the lower stage to the upper stage). Then, during this page turning operation, the split screen 32a on the screen 31 is displayed.
The image of the first page is still displayed on the full screen in the portions other than to 32h.

Regarding the above-described page turning method, apart from the above description, a new page is always supplied to the split screen 32d, and it is displayed every time the new page is supplied. Page is split screen 32
You may make it move 1 screen at a time in order of d->32a->32h-> 32e.

The display of the divided screens 32e to 32h is completed,
Further, in the case where the tenth page and thereafter are displayed, instead of the page moving display in the range of the divided screens 32a to 32h as described above, as shown in FIG. ........ may appear one after another so that the entire screen 31 is finally filled with only the divided screens. By doing so, the image on the first page disappears completely from the screen 31 as the subsequent pages are displayed. But this first
Since there is some time before the image on the page completely disappears, it is necessary for the operator to check the document 1.
You can grasp enough. Next, the page turning of the document 1 is completed, and subsequently, as shown in FIG. 3A, “A” is displayed on the first page, “B” is displayed on the second page, “C” is displayed on the third page, ... Let's look at the case of sequentially turning pages of a document that is drawn like this (this is referred to as document 2).

In this case, the first page of the document 2 is first displayed on the screen 31 of the display device 27 in full screen, as in the case of turning the pages of the first document. continue,
Screens 32a, 3 divided into four horizontally at the bottom of the screen
2b, 32c, 32d appear, and each divided screen 32
The second page, the third page, the fourth page, and the fifth page are displayed in a to 32d in the order of reduced images,
Furthermore, the divided screens 32e, 32f, 32g, and 32h for another line appear below the divided screens 32a to 32d, and the sixth page, the seventh page, and the eighth page are displayed on the respective divided screens 32e to 32h. The ninth page is displayed in the order of reduced images in this order (see FIG. 3 (2)). The following is the same as the case of turning pages of the first document.

Therefore, even if a command for turning over pages of a plurality of documents is first given, the first of each document is
Since the entire page is displayed, it is easy to check the boundaries of the document, and it is easy to find the target page.

[0019]

As described above, according to the present invention, when the page of the electronic file device is turned, the first page of the displayed document is entirely displayed, while the second and subsequent pages are the first page. Since the image is overwritten and displayed in a small display area on the upper side, various effects such as high-speed page turning and easy confirmation of a target page can be obtained.
