Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

The present invention registers a large amount of information,
Regarding a document filing device that retrieves and prints out desired information when necessary, especially demonstration of each function in registration or retrieval based on user's proficiency level (display of a series flow of each function: the following is a demonstration The document filing device having a help function for performing (refer to).

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, in a document filing apparatus having a large number of functions for registering a large amount of information and retrieving and printing out desired information when necessary, a user operates a certain function. On the way, there are cases where the user does not know the next operation to be performed or where he is currently operating. However, there has been a drawback that the operation efficiency is remarkably lowered because there is no effective means to solve the problem.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks of the prior art, and its purpose is to display a demo of contents according to the user's proficiency level for each function to be used. It is an object of the present invention to provide a document filing device which can remarkably improve the operation efficiency of the user.

[0004]

To achieve the above object, the first invention of the present application is a document filing having a large number of functions for registering a large amount of information in a storage medium and searching for desired information when necessary. If the device is a device and the user gives an instruction for the help function during registration or search operation, the flow of each function based on the level of proficiency of the user is sequentially displayed (demo). The skill level of the user is selected and determined by the user, or is automatically selected and determined from those stored in advance in the storage medium. According to the above-described configuration, the user instructs the help function during the registration or search operation, and based on the level of proficiency selected by the user or the level of proficiency stored in advance on the optical disc. Since a demonstration that is a display of a series of flows for each function is performed, the work efficiency of the user is significantly improved.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a configuration block diagram of a document filing apparatus embodying the present invention. The document filing apparatus of the present invention has a user proficiency level selected by the user by instructing a help function during a registration or search operation, or a user proficiency level pre-stored on an optical disc. It aims to improve the operation efficiency by demonstrating each function based on the above (displaying a series of flows of each function sequentially). Figure 1
In this document filing apparatus, the keyboard 1, the mouse 3, and the input control unit 5 for inputting registration information and instructions from the user, the registration information is registered and held, and the skill level of each function is improved. An optical disc 7 in which levels are stored in advance, an optical disc control unit 9 of the optical disc 7, and a demonstration of each function in registration and search,
That is, a demonstration management storage unit 11 that stores a series of flows of each function that can be used for each level, and a work management that temporarily stores the data of the used function that has been used up to that time when performing a demonstration using the help function. Table 13
An image display unit 15 for displaying the relevant information, an output control unit 17, a display device 19, and a printer 21 for displaying or printing out the information and demo searched and registered, the registration information and the user. In addition to performing normal information registration / search operations in accordance with the instruction from the user, when the help function instruction is input, based on the level of proficiency selected by the user or the level of proficiency stored in the optical disk 7. It has a control unit 23 for controlling each unit so as to perform a demonstration of each function, that is, to sequentially display a series of flows of each available function. Also,
The document filing device further includes a scanner 25 for inputting image information and the like.

Next, the operation of the document filing apparatus will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. First, in steps 201 and 203 of FIG. 2, the optical disc 7 is inserted into the apparatus, and the user operates the utilization function. Here, in step 205, it is determined whether or not the help icon for instructing the help function is designated, and if the help icon is not designated, in step 207, the normal operation, that is,
Registration or search operation processing is performed. If the help icon is specified in step 205,
In step 209, information on the process currently being performed is temporarily stored in the work management table 13. Next, in step 211, it is determined whether or not the user has selected the level of proficiency through the keyboard 1. Here, as for the level of proficiency, for example, when the user performs a registration operation, one-page registration is set to level A as an beginner class, multiple document registration is set to level B as an intermediate class, and partition paper registration is advanced. Level C is selected as the first class. The operation flow of the one-page registration, the plural document registration, and the partition sheet registration is shown in the flow charts of FIGS. 4, 5 and 6.

If the user has not selected the level of proficiency in step 211, the level of proficiency of each function stored in advance on the optical disk 7 is selected and determined in steps 213 and 215. That is, the optical disc 7 stores the level of proficiency corresponding to the frequency of use in search / registration as shown in the table diagram of FIG. 3, and the level of proficiency is automatically selected and determined by this. Then, in steps 217 and 219, based on the level of proficiency level of the user selected in step 211 or the level of proficiency level of the optical disk 7 selected and determined in step 215, the demonstration storage unit 11 is operated. A demo of each function (a series of flows of each function) is read out and continuously displayed on the display device 19. Therefore, even when the user does not know the next operation to be performed, the demo (display of a series of flows of each function)
You can accurately know the next operation and move forward.

Next, in step 221, it is judged whether or not the display of the demo has ended. If the display of the demo has ended, in step 229 the information of the processing stored in the work management table 13 is displayed. Call back and perform the next operation that was grasped by the display of the demo. Also,
In step 221, if the display of the demo is not completed, it is determined whether or not stop processing for stopping the desired place in the series of flow of each function is performed, and the stop processing is performed. If yes, step 2
At 25, the stop operation of the demo is performed. Then, in the following step 227, it is determined whether or not to restart the demo. If the demo is restarted, the process returns to step 219. If the demo is not restarted, the process returns to step 225. Even if the stop process is not performed in the step 223, the step 21
Returning to 9, the demonstration will continue.

[0009]

As described above, according to the present invention, when the user instructs the help function during the registration or search operation, the level of proficiency selected by the user or the memorized level is pre-stored on the optical disk. Since a series of flows for each function are displayed (demo) based on the level of proficiency, the operation efficiency of the user can be significantly improved.
