Abstract

PURPOSE:To allow effective use of a storage area for keywords within a retrieval file by providing the retrieval file which stores a memory address and keywords of picture information in an information file, by registering and retrieving the picture information by selecting and inputting the keyword from among keyword groups which a keyword input part holds and by facilitating the registration and retrieval of the picture information. CONSTITUTION:The picture information is stored in an information memory 2 from an information input part 1. While the keyword is inputted in the code information form from a keyword input part 5 and stored in a code memory 6. The inputted picture information and keyword are stored respectively in an information file 3 and a retrieval file 7 based on a registration control signal from a system controller, and the picture information is compressed into information by being encoded by an information storage reproducer 4 and then stored in the information file 3. At this time, the address information of a track where the picture information is stored is read out by the information storage reproducer 4, transferred to a controller 8, which then stores in the retrieval file 7 by correlating the address information with the keyword.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION ft) Field of Application The present invention relates to an information file device that stores a plurality of image information in an information file and can selectively search for desired image information.

(b) Prior art In recent years, with the increase in the amount of information and the rationalization of administrative processing,
Information file devices with large storage capacities are attracting attention.

In this type of device, a plurality of image information is stored in tracks previously formed in an information file together with address signals. At this time, enter the keyword for each image information,
This keyword and the address signal of the address where the image information is stored are stored in a search file. The image information stored in the information file in this manner is retrieved from the information file by inputting a keyword of desired image information and reading an address signal from the search file.

Incidentally, conventionally, such keywords are appropriately created each time image information is input, and are input by operating a keyboard. Therefore, when inputted image information becomes miscellaneous, the task of creating and inputting keywords becomes troublesome. Furthermore, the amount of information for each keyword is different, which hinders the effective use of search files.

(c) Purpose of the Invention The purpose of the present invention is to simplify the keyword input work and to make effective use of search files.

B) Structure of the Invention The present invention comprises an information input section for inputting image information, an information file for storing a plurality of the above-mentioned image updates, and a keyword input section for selecting and inputting a keyword from a predetermined keyword group. , comprises a storage address of the image information in the information file and a search file for storing the keyword, and registers the image information by selecting a keyword from the keyword group included in the keyword input section and inputting -C. This information file device is characterized in that it performs a search.

(E) Example An example of the present invention is shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. ti＞
The information input section inputs image information by optically scanning a document.

(2J is an information memory that temporarily stores the above image information. (3) is an information file, which is composed of an optical disk on which a plurality of tracks on which address information is recorded in advance is formed. Image information is recorded on each track.(4) is an information recording/reproducing section which records image information into information file (3) and reproduces image information from information file (3).

(5) is a keyword input section, which is equipped with a key panel having nine keywords, as shown in FIG. Ru. (6) is a code memory that temporarily stores the above code information.

f7) tj: Search file, consisting of a floppy disk, containing the above code information and information file (
The address of the recording track of the image information in 33K is recorded in blue. (8) is a control unit which records code information and address information in the search file (7) and searches the search file (7) for rally code information and address information. (9) uses the table creation section to create a table according to the key panel. For example, for the key panel shown in FIG. 2, a table consisting of nine 6×3 squares is created. +1 (l is the display control unit, which is executed in accordance with control commands from the system control unit, which is not a CRT.

In the following, each operation of image information registration and search will be explained in the present invention.

(1) Image information registration operation Image information is input in the form of image information from the information input section (1) and is stored in the information memory (2). The image information is then displayed on the display unit via the display control circuit.

On the other hand, the keyword is input in the form of code information by pressing the key panel of the keyword input section (5), and is stored in the code memory +63K. This code information is formed with the same number of bits as the number of keywords on the key panel, and each pit corresponds to each keyword. For example, the code information for each keyword of "electricity" and "IC" is "1000000".
00j and rooooolooooJ. In addition, the keyword input is 1'':) Not only VC, but also multiple keywords can be input at the same time.For example, l'-LSIJ
If you input "transistor" and the keywords on the left at the same time, the code information will be [010000100J. The control unit (8) recognizes the code information and controls the display so that the position corresponding to the input keyword blinks in the table created by the table creation unit (9), and the display control circuit [1
(Displayed on display unit 1υ via l.

The image information and keywords thus input are recorded in the information file (3) and search file (7), respectively, based on a registration control signal from the system control section. The image information is compressed (by encoding) in the information recording/reproducing unit (4) and recorded in the information file (3).At this time, the address information of the track in which the image information is recorded is It is read out by the recording and reproducing section (4), and the control section +81 I
C will be transferred. Then, the control unit (8) associates the address information with the keyword and records it in the search file (7).

Repeat the above operations 9 and 11I.
ii image information can be registered by simple selection or combination of keywords.

01) Search operation for image information A search for identification information is performed by inputting a desired keyword from the keyword input section (5) based on a search control signal from the system control section.

The input keyword is stored in code memory +6]. The control unit (8) sequentially reads the keywords recorded in the search file (7) and compares them with the keywords stored in the code memory 161K. When a comparison/match is detected, the control unit (8
) reads address information corresponding to the keyword and controls the information recording/reproducing section +47. Information recording and playback section +
4) creates the information file (3) based on the above address information.
Play image information from within. The reproduced image information is displayed on the display section LD via the display control section.

(f) Effects of the Invention According to the present invention, since keywords can be selected and inputted from a predetermined group of keywords as appropriate, registration and search of image information becomes easy. Further, the bit lengths of the input keywords can all be made the same length as in the embodiment of the present invention, and the recording area of the keywords in the search file can be used effectively without waste.
