Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention is capable of storing document information, searching for a desired document when necessary, and reproducing and displaying a designated page of the document. Related to document information display method.

[Technical background of the invention and its problems]

In document information, one document is often composed of multiple pages. Furthermore, in the management of document information, there are cases where a plurality of documents with a common page structure are managed. For example, in a file for personnel management, the first page is the person's personal history, the second page is the person's resume,
The third page is a picture of the person's face, and the fourth page is a map of their home, so each set corresponds to one person.

Conventionally, in order to search for such documents, a method has been used in which information serving as a keyword is added at the time of registration, and the keyword is specified using a conditional expression. However, since this keyword is attached to an entire set of documents, when it is searched and displayed, it appears first from the first page of the document. Therefore, if a user wanted to view a certain page in a document, the desired page was displayed by turning the page.

By the way, in the example of the human resources management file, when you want to obtain data on a person whose name and face are known, the conventional method is to first search for candidates for the name using a conditional expression, and then bring in documents for those candidates one after another. It took a lot of time and effort to turn the pages and check the face photo to get the data of the desired person.

[Purpose of the invention]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a method in which document information can be searched and displayed while simultaneously performing search and page turning by specifying a specific page.

[Summary of the invention] The present invention provides that one document consists of multiple pages,
A search condition for performing a search is input into a storage means for storing a plurality of pieces of document information having a common page structure among documents, and the document information in the storage means is searched according to the search conditions. Among the plurality of retrieved document information, pages of one document information are sequentially displayed on the display means, a predetermined page is specified among the plurality of pages of the displayed document information, and the specified page is stored. The present invention is characterized in that the pages of each of the retrieved document information other than the document information for which the page is specified and which correspond to the stored page are sequentially displayed from the display means. The plurality of document information stored in the storage means is, for example, a file for personnel management, in which the first page is a personal history of the person, the second page is a resume, and the third page is a photograph of the person's face. , the fourth page is a home map, where each set corresponds to one person, and there are multiple sets of this map.Although the data (e.g., face photo) is different between each document, the format (e.g., personal information) is different between each document. documents, resumes) are the same on the relevant page of each document.

〔Effect of the invention〕

According to the present invention, it becomes possible to view a designated page from the beginning when searching and displaying a document. Especially in documents with the same page structure, if a particular page contains information that is very useful for checking the document, it is convenient and efficient for the user to be able to view only those pages one after another. improves.

[Embodiments of the invention]

FIG. 1 shows a configuration diagram of an embodiment of the present invention. The control unit 1 controls the entire system and uses a microcomputer. Document search data is stored in the document search information storage section 2. Also, here, the page number to be displayed is stored using a page flag. The actual document is stored in the document image storage section 3 as an image. The operation is performed using the input unit 4 such as a keyboard. There is a display section 5 for search operations and a display section 6 for image display.

A search is executed by inputting a conditional expression from an input unit 4 such as a keyboard and pressing a search start key (not shown). FIG. 2 shows the structure of document search data. One document is composed of a plurality of pages, and each page is registered so that the attributes are the same for each document. One piece of search information is added to each document. The search file shown in Figure 2a contains:
In addition to this information, a document number is attached to each document in a one-to-one relationship. The page management file shown in FIG. 2b stores document numbers and image numbers corresponding to page numbers.

FIG. 3 shows the flow of search operations.

The operation of this embodiment will be explained along this flowchart. When the user inputs a conditional expression through the input section 4 and presses the search start key, the control section 1 searches the search file in the document search information storage section 2 to find an expression that matches the condition. One of them if applicable
The information on the item is displayed on the search operation display section 5. If the user wants to see the content of the image, he presses the image display key from the input unit 4, and the control unit 1 obtains the image number of the first page from the page management file in the document search information storage unit 2 according to the document number. Then, the image is read out from the document image storage section 3 and displayed on the image display section 6. The user can operate pages using the page turning keys on the keyboard of the input section 4. When the next page key is input, the control section 1 obtains the image number of the next page from the page management file and displays it on the image display section 6.

If this document is not what the user desires, the user inputs the next candidate key from the input section 4. At this time, if the previous page is left turned over, the control section 1 sets the page flag of the corresponding page. Furthermore, the control unit 1 obtains information on the next applicable document from the search file and displays it on the search operation display unit 5. When the image display key is input from the input unit 4, the control unit 1 checks the internal page flag, and if a page is specified, obtains the image number of the specified page from the page management file from the beginning and displays it in the image display unit 6. Display images. When this operation is performed one after another, the designated page is automatically displayed on the image display section 6.

When a desired document is found on the way, another function such as outputting it to a printer or enlarging the display can be performed. Furthermore, by adding desired key functions to the input section 4, it is possible to operate the next page, previous page, and first page in a document in the middle. Further, the next document refers to the document following the currently displayed document in the search file regardless of the search condition expression, but even in the next document, a specified page can be displayed first by using the page flag.

In addition, in the present invention, when you turn the page of a searched document and search for the next document, the same page as the previous document is displayed, but if you change the page again at this time, the next document appears. The page will also change.

Therefore, another page fixing means is added, and the page number to be displayed initially and the page number currently being displayed are separately memorized. Initially, the page to be displayed is one page, and the page fixing means is used to store the currently displayed page number. By memorizing the page number as the page to be displayed, even if you turn the page during a search, when you issue the next document again, the page to be displayed will be displayed first regardless of the currently displayed page. become.
