Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to an electronic file system that stores and manages a plurality of image information files. [Prior Art] In recent years, with the development of large-capacity storage media such as magneto-optical disk devices, it has become possible to store large amounts of information all at once. Extracting image information of one file from such a large capacity storage medium having image information of multiple files,
Page turning is a method for continuously displaying images on a CRT. In this case, to actually display the image on a CRT or the like, specify the image information you want to display and turn the page. In addition, cover turning is a method of extracting only the first page of each image information of a plurality of files from the above-mentioned large-capacity storage medium having image information of a plurality of files and continuously displaying it on a CRT. [Problems to be Solved by the Invention] When performing conventional page turning, the image information is displayed by specifying a desired image information file, displaying this image on a CRT, and continuously turning the pages while looking at this screen. You can refer to . However, if a necessary page (for example, a table of contents page) is on the third page, the pages must be turned from the first page to the third page each time to display the page, which makes the operation for displaying the necessary page complicated. In other words, with conventional cover flipping, although it is possible to continuously flip and display multiple image information files (i.e., one page), it is not possible to continuously flip and display only an arbitrary page. It is necessary to specify only the specified page in the image information file and turn the pages sequentially from the first page to the desired page. Therefore, the conventional device described above has a problem in that it is not possible to turn only a predetermined page across a plurality of image information files. The present invention provides an electronic file system that is easy to operate when turning only necessary pages other than the first page of each image information of a plurality of files from a large-capacity storage medium having image information of a plurality of files. The purpose is to provide the following. [Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention stores in advance page designation information that designates a predetermined page of a predetermined image information file, and stores image information of a page corresponding to the stored designated page information for each image information file. The extracted page image information is sequentially flipped and displayed for each image information file. Further, the present invention stores in advance page designation information that designates a page corresponding to a predetermined item of a predetermined image information file, and stores image information of a page corresponding to the stored designated page information for each image information file. Extract this extracted page image information,
Each image information file is displayed in sequence. [Function] The present invention stores in advance page designation information that designates a predetermined page of a predetermined image information file, and extracts image information of a page corresponding to the stored designated page information for each of the image information files, Since this extracted page image information is sequentially turned over and displayed for each image information file, it is easy to turn over only the necessary pages other than the first page of each image information of multiple files. ．． Further, the present invention stores in advance page designation information that designates a page corresponding to a predetermined item of a predetermined image information file, and stores image information of a page corresponding to the stored designated page information for each image information file. Extract this extracted page image information,
Since each image information file is sequentially turned over and displayed, it is easy to turn over only the necessary items in each image information of multiple files. [Embodiment] FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of an electronic filing system showing an embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, a CPU that controls the entire system,

Further, the above embodiment has a floppy disk 3 and a hard disk 4, and the floppy disk 3 is mainly used for backing up personal or common data.
The hard disk device 4 is used when processing common data. Furthermore, there is an FD/HD controller 5 that controls the floppy disk 3 and the hard disk 4 to send and receive data, a printer 6 that forms an image, a scanner 7 that reads an original image, and a scanner 7 that reads an original image. S/P interface 8 for outputting print data and inputting images to the scanner 7
is provided. Further, a magneto-optical disk device 1l (including its controller 10) is connected to the scsr interface 9, which is a general-purpose interface, and this magneto-optical disk device 1l also stores various information to be searched. ．． The keyboard 12 for inputting various characters and instruction information is
The pointing device 13 is connected, and the input key information and movement information from the pointing device 13 are output as serial data. The serial interface 14 converts this serial data into input parallel data, the bit move unit (EMU) 15 performs bit control such as transferring or rotating image data, and the character font storage unit 16 The CRT 18 stores the pattern corresponding to the character symbol code and develops the pattern as image data in the RAM 17. The CRT 18 visualizes and displays the image data developed in the VRAM 17. 19 is for compressing an image or decompressing compressed data. These various components are electrically connected via buses (address bus, data path, control bus) 100. Next, the operation of the above embodiment will be explained. Figure 2 (1
) to (4) are explanatory diagrams of the reservation page turning process in the above embodiment. It is assumed that the document targeted for reserved page turning in the above embodiment is a system specification. FIG. 2 (1) is a system specification registered in the magneto-optical disk 11, and pages containing necessary items in advance are table of contents items (3 and 4 pages), index items (98 , p. 99), Chapter 3 (p. 28-38), Items that should be reserved in particular (l, 2
page), and use these as page designation information to be used for page turning.
Register in the table for each item used individually as shown in 3). In the system specifications shown in Figure 2 (1),
When referring to pages containing table of contents items and index items, please refer to Figure 2 (
Based on the page information (designated page information) shown in 2), the CRT1
Flip to 8 and display. Note that this page information is stored on the floppy disk 3 or hard disk 4. In the above explanation, in order to simplify the explanation, the l file was used as an example, but in the case of multiple files, arbitrary item information or page information ( Specified page information) is stored and displayed on a display device such as a CRT 18. In addition, the table for each item shown in Figure 2 (2) may be managed in any location on the memory, but as shown in Figure 2 (4), each file information You may create a management table for each item within the table that manages the information (total number of pages, date of creation, type of file information, etc.). Figure 3 (1). (2) is a flowchart showing the processing procedure regarding page turning by item in the above embodiment. First, when registering page information for each item, it is determined whether or not to register it (Sl). If page information is to be registered for each item, each input page is registered in the reserved word table as shown in FIG. 2 (3) (S2). Then, when referring only to pages reserved in the reserved word table, it is determined whether or not to perform page turning for each item (s 1
1) When performing page turning by item, the page registered in the reserved word table by item shown in FIG. 2 (3) is extracted and the image information of that page is displayed (S 1 2).
, Next, we will explain the operation of turning an arbitrary page. FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram of arbitrary page turning processing in the above embodiment. FIG. 4(1) is a diagram showing internal table information of each document file, and shows the internal table information of each document file A, B, C. Assume that D stores the file name, total number of pages, storage address of each page, etc. as internal table information. In the page turning shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, each document file A. B. C. Although only the first page of D is flipped and displayed, by newly specifying, for example, the third page as an arbitrary page, each document file A. B. C. The third page image of each document file A to D is read out from the magneto-optical disk 11, stored in the memory 2, and sequentially transferred to the VRAM 17, thereby displaying the third page of each document file A to D. The above explanation has been simplified, but the same applies to the display of multiple pages of multiple files. FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the operation of arbitrary page turning in the above embodiment. First, it is determined whether or not to perform arbitrary page turning (521).
．． When performing arbitrary page turning, input the page to be used when performing arbitrary page turning (S22), extract the specified page among the multiple files from each document file, and display the image on a display device such as a CRT. Display (S23). Once reserved words are reserved for each item in the reserved word table as described above, it becomes possible to instantly page-turn through the necessary information items in the file. Furthermore, according to the embodiments shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, by specifying the page to be displayed, it becomes possible to instantly turn the pages of multiple files. There is no need to specify the page you want to display. [Effects of the Invention] According to the present invention, when pages are to be turned by predetermined items in each image information of a plurality of files from a large-capacity storage medium having image information of a plurality of files, or when necessary pages other than the first page are to be turned. When turning only pages, the effect is that the operation is easy.
