(Prior art) Recently, image information such as documents, which are generated in large quantities, can be
Photoelectric conversion is performed by dimensional optical scanning, and the photoelectrically converted image information is recorded in a large-capacity image information storage device, or searched and reproduced as necessary, and recorded or displayed as a two-dimensional visible image. An image information file device capable of outputting image information has been developed.

In such an image information file device, when recording image information, the following procedure is used.

That is, before registering one page of image information, the operator inputs title information from an input device such as a keyboard. The title information input by this operator is displayed on the display device. The image information read by the two-dimensional scanning device is recorded on a large-capacity recording medium such as a magnetic tape together with the title information. In this way, a large amount of image information is recorded together with title information.

When searching for recorded image information, the operator inputs title information, and the recorded image information is searched and output based on the title information.

Therefore, when registering image information, the operator is required to input title information for search for each page of image information.

Therefore, there was a problem in that the operator was burdened, errors in inputting title information, etc. occurred, and processing efficiency when registering image information deteriorated.

Furthermore, when changing the title information of registered image information, it is necessary to input the changed title information for each piece of image information one after another.

Therefore, when inputting and changing title information of image information, the operator is burdened, errors in inputting title information, etc. occur, and the speed of inputting and changing title information is slow, making it difficult to register image information. The disadvantage was that the processing efficiency was poor.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) This invention places a burden on the operator when inputting and changing the title information of image information, and also causes errors in inputting the title information. This eliminates the disadvantages of slow speed and poor processing efficiency when registering image information, and reduces the burden on the operator and eliminates input errors when inputting and changing title information of image information. It is an object of the present invention to provide an information registration device that can speed up the input and change of title information, and improve processing efficiency when registering image information.

[Structure of the Invention] (Means for Solving the Problems) The information registration device of the present invention includes a reading means for reading image information, and a plurality of items assigned to each image information, the image information read by the reading means. a storage means for storing title information together with title information, a repeat specification means for specifying a repeat specification condition for at least one item of the plurality of items of title information stored in the storage means, and a repeat specification condition for the repeat specification means. The apparatus is comprised of processing means for creating title information corresponding to each image information read by the reading means based on the image information read by the reading means.

(Operation) This invention stores image information read by a reading means for reading image information together with title information consisting of a plurality of items assigned to each of the image information, and stores the image information read by a reading means for reading image information together with title information consisting of a plurality of items assigned to each of the image information, and A repeat specification condition is specified for at least one of the items, and title information corresponding to each piece of image information read by the reading means is created based on the repeat specification condition.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an image information file apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, 1
indicates a central processing unit (hereinafter referred to as CPU). This CPU1 is a floppy disk device 2
The control program loaded into the main memory 3 has the function of transmitting control signals to and from each block described below via the control bus CB to control operations. Further, 4 indicates a keyboard. Using the keyboard 4, the operator can input necessary information as appropriate, such as title information when registering image information, while viewing the message displayed on the display device 6. Note that the message displayed on the display device 6 is information output from the pattern generator 5 based on the control information output from the CPU 1. Furthermore, 7
indicates a two-dimensional scanning device. This two-dimensional scanning device 7 has a function of optically scanning a document while conveying it and outputting it as photoelectrically converted image information. This photoelectrically converted image information is transferred to the image bus
The data is supplied to the page buffer 8 via the GB and stored therein. This page battle 8
has a capacity that can store image information for one page of a document. This page battle 8
The image information for one page of the original document stored in is supplied to the refresh memory 9 via the image bus GB and displayed on the display device 6. Also, the original 1 stored in the page buffer 8
The image information for each page is band-compressed by the well-known Modified-Hoffman transform in the compression/expansion circuit 10, and is recorded along with title information on a large-capacity magnetic recording medium, such as a magnetic tape device 11, via the image bus GB. It's summery. Similarly, a large amount of image information is recorded on the magnetic tape device 11 together with title information. When searching and outputting a large amount of image information recorded in this way, the compressed image information is expanded in the compression/expansion circuit 6 by inputting the title information of the image information to be output from the keyboard. It is designed to be output via a page buffer 8 to an output device 12 such as an electrostatic printer device.

Next, the operation of this invention will be explained. First, the operation when registering image information will be explained. The operator sets a mode setting switch (not shown) provided on the keyboard 4 to the registration mode. Then, as shown in FIG. 2, "Title New" and "Repeat Key?" are displayed on the display screen 6a of the display device 6. Here, the operator presses a numeric key "1" (not shown) on the keyboard 4,
When one of "2" is operated and the cartridge key "CR" is operated, a repeat designation, which will be described later, is made. In the case of FIG. 2, since the number key "1" was operated, a repeat designation is made. Note that if only the cartridge key "CR" is operated here, the repeat designation will not be made. In this case, the title information is composed of number information and date information, and the number information corresponds to the number key "1".
Since the date information is set corresponding to the numeric key "2", "Key 1" is displayed first. Here, the operator inputs appropriate number information from the keyboard 4. In this case, Figure 2 is a numerical value
It shows that you entered 100. Then, when the cartridge key "CR" is operated, "Key 2 Hizuki" is displayed next. Therefore, the operator inputs, for example, "55 10 22", which means October 22, 1955, which is the date when the image information was registered. And the carrier tank key “CR”
When the user operates the numeric key ``1'' while the ``Repeat key?'' message is displayed, the message ``Repeat key 1 press'' and ``Elephant punch'' are displayed. Then, for example, the operator inputs the numerical value 200 as the final value of the number information, operates the cartridge key "CR", inputs the numerical value "10" as the increment value, and presses the cartridge key "CR".
When you operate , the screen will appear as shown in Figure 2. These initial values of number information in title information
100, final value 200, increment value 10 and date information 55 10
22 repeat designation information (repeat designation conditions) is stored in a title information storage section (not shown) in the main memory 3. Further, the repeat designation information is also stored in a repeat designation information storage section (not shown) in the main memory 3.

When the above operations are completed, the originals set in the two-dimensional scanning device 7 are conveyed one by one under the control of the CPU 1 and subjected to photoelectric conversion. The photoelectrically converted image information for one sheet (one page) is stored in the page buffer 8. One page of image information stored in the page buffer 8 is compressed by a compression/expansion circuit 10 and stored in a magnetic tape device 11 together with title information stored in a title information storage section in the main memory 3. At this time, it is recorded together with image information for each page. Since the number information in the title information is specified as repeat, CPU1
Under the arithmetic control, the values are sequentially increased by increments of 10 from the initial value 100 and are recorded as number information in the title information. Also, since the date information in the title information is not specified as a repeat,
"55 10 22" is recorded as date information in the title information. Therefore, the image information of the first page is recorded on the magnetic tape device 11 as title information 100, 55 10 22, and the image information of the second page is recorded as title information 110, 55 10 22. Image information is subsequently registered in the same manner until the image information of the 11th page is recorded in the magnetic tape device 11 as title information 200, 55 10 22.

Further, when changing the title information in a large number of image information recorded together with the title information as described above, the same method as described above can be used. That is, the mode designation switch is set to change mode and the repeat key designation of the title information to be converted is performed. As described above, by inputting the initial value, the final value, and the incremental value, it is possible to automatically change the title information of a large amount of image information.

Furthermore, when searching for registered image information, the mode setting switch is set to search mode. Then, title information of the image information to be read out is inputted from the keyboard 4 as appropriate. In this case as well, if the title information is specified in the same manner as in the registration, the image information can be read out continuously.

Note that in the above embodiment, when generating title information when repeat is specified, the initial value is increased by an increment value from the final value.
If the title information can be calculated by using a certain function f, the function f and parameters may be entered from the keyboard 4 and the title information may be registered and changed continuously as described above. good.

With such an information registration method, when registering image information or changing title information of registered image information, it is no longer necessary to input title information for each page of image information.
The burden on the operator can be reduced, and errors in inputting title information can be significantly reduced.

As detailed above, according to the present invention, image information read by a reading means for reading image information is stored together with title information consisting of a plurality of items assigned to each image information, and the stored title information A repeat designation condition is specified for at least one item among the plurality of items, and title information corresponding to each piece of image information read by the reading means is created based on this repeat designation condition. When inputting and changing title information, it reduces the burden on the operator and eliminates input errors. It also speeds up inputting and changing title information, and improves processing when registering image information. An information registration device that can improve efficiency can be provided.
