Next, a high speed document /
The page turning process will be described. The high-speed document / page turning process is performed by an image confirmation process for controlling the process, a process for creating turning data, a process for continuously displaying images, and the like, which are directly related to the present invention.
The image confirmation process for controlling the processing and the process for creating the turning data will be described.

When a high-speed document / page turning is instructed by an input from the keyboard 35 of the operator during the image confirmation, the CPU 11 of the control unit 10 causes the image confirmation for controlling the processing stored in the hard disk 13. The high speed document / page turning is initiated by reading the process program and the process program that creates the page turning data.

FIG. 2 is a flow chart for explaining the image confirmation process for controlling the high-speed document / page turning process. In the image confirmation process, the CPU 11 turns the document / page number and the currently displayed document / page number to the turning data creation process. Give the type (document or page) and turning direction.

FIG. 3 is a flow chart for explaining the turning data creation process. In the turning data creation process, the CPU 11 refers to the loading cabinet based on the document / page information and retrieves 50 documents / page from the image retrieval information. Create turning data and pass the data and status to the image confirmation process. The status is “Continued” if there is a target document / page even after the last image of the hand-over data, and “Final document / page” if it is before the last document / page or the document / page in the unloaded cabinet. Become.

In the image confirmation process, the CPU 11
The turning data and the status are received from the turning data creation process, and the turning data is used to read the optical disk I.
A plurality of images are sequentially searched from the loading cabinet of the optical disc device with an auto changer 34 via / F19,
High-speed and continuous display is performed on the CRT display device 30 via the display memory 14.

After the continuous display is completed, the CPU 11 judges the status, and if "continue", makes a data creation request to the page turning data creating process, and if "final document / page", finishes high-speed document / page turning.

In the above technique, if there are documents / pages in the unloaded cabinet in the data creation process, the final document / page
Since it is regarded as a page, and the image confirmation process does not support the loading process at the time of high-speed document / page turning, the target document / page is only the document / page in the cabinet already loaded in the optical disk device 34 with an autochanger. ing.

Therefore, in the present invention, the target documents / pages are expanded to the cabinets already loaded in the optical disk device 34 with an autochanger and the cabinets not yet loaded so that the targets of high-speed document / page turning are greatly increased. Is. Further, the program for the image confirmation process for controlling the high-speed document / page turning process and the program for the process for creating the turning data of the present invention are stored in the hard disk 13.

Next, the image confirmation process and the turning data creation process of the present invention will be described with reference to the flow charts of FIGS. When a high-speed document / page turning is instructed by an input from the operator's keyboard 35 during image confirmation, the CPU 11 of the control unit 10 controls the image confirmation stored in the hard disk 13 for controlling the process of the present invention. The high speed document / page turning is initiated by reading the process program and the process program that creates the page turning data.

CP in the image confirmation process shown in FIG.
U11 passes the currently displayed document / page number, the type of turning (document or page), and the turning direction to the turning data creation process. In the turning data creation process shown in FIG. 5, the CPU 11 (creating means, first creating means) refers to the loading cabinet based on the document / page information and creates turning data for 50 documents / page from the image retrieval information. And pass that data and status to the image confirmation process. The status is "Continue" if there is a target document / page even after the last image of the hand-over data, "Unloaded document" if there is a document / page in the unloaded cabinet, and if it is the final document / page. This is the "final document / page".

When the CPU 11 receives the turning data in the image confirmation process and the status is "unloaded document", the CPU 11 loads the optical disk 33 of the unloaded cabinet designated to the optical disk device 34 with the autochanger via the optical disk I / F 19. Load with autochanger. As a result, even if there is an unloaded cabinet document / page during high-speed document / page turning, the loading process can be performed without stopping and the turning can be continued.

Also in the loading process during high-speed document / page turning, when the unloaded cabinet is in the autochanger, the CPU 11 determines in which slot of the storage box the cabinet having the document / page to be handled is stored. Since the determination can be made, it is possible to automatically perform the loading process when the loading process is necessary without asking the operator for instructions, and to continue high-speed document / page turning after the loading process is completed.

The CPU 11 (second creating means) refers to the loading cabinet again based on the document / page information in the data creation process, creates the turning data from the search information of the image, and creates it in the preloading cabinet. In addition to the data, turnover data for 50 documents / pages is created, and the data and status are passed to the image confirmation process. The status is "Continue" if there is a target document / page even after the last image of the hand-over data, "Unloaded document" if there is a document / page in the unloaded cabinet, and if it is the final document / page. The final document / page.

In the image confirmation process, the CPU 11 (processing means, second processing means) receives the turning data and the status from the turning data creating process, and uses the turning data when the status is not "unloaded document". Then, the loaded cabinet and the unloaded cabinet of the optical disc device 34 with an autochanger are loaded through the optical disc I / F 19 to sequentially search for a plurality of images, and the CRT display device 30 is continuously and quickly retrieved via the display memory 14. To display.

After the continuous display is completed, the CPU 11 judges the status and, if "continue", makes a data creation request to the page-turning data creation process, and if "final document / page", terminates high-speed document / page-turning.

As described above, according to the above embodiment,
By performing not only the loading cabinet but also the unloaded cabinet, high-speed document / page turning can be continued, and the target of high-speed document / page turning can be significantly increased. Further, in the loading process during high-speed document / page turning, if the unloaded cabinet is in the automatic changer, the loading process is automatically performed, which saves the labor of the operator.
