〔Example〕

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings shown in the embodiments.

FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing the configuration of an information file device according to the present invention. In this embodiment, the information to be recorded is image information, the information file in which this information is recorded is an optical disk, and the file for searching is a floppy disk.

Reference numeral 1 in the figure denotes an information input unit. Specifically, image information is input by optically reading a document such as a document or a chart as an image by an image reading device such as an image sensor and converting the image into a digital electric signal. It The image information input by the information input unit 1 is temporarily stored in the information memory 2 and then output to the information recording / reproducing unit 4 and the display control unit 11.

The information recording / reproducing unit 4 is a device for writing image information converted into a digital signal in the information file 3 and reading it from the information file 3, and specifically, is an optical head using a laser beam. The information file 3 is specifically an optical disc, and image information is written in and read from a plurality of tracks in which addresses (position information) are written.

Reference numeral 5 is a keyword input unit, and as an example, as shown in FIG. 2 (a), keys in which a keyword is written,
The key panels are arranged in a 6 × 8 matrix with i = 1 to 6 in the vertical direction and j = 1 to 8 in the horizontal direction. The keywords arranged in a matrix form, for example, i =
The tiers of 1 are the price of the house, the tiers of i = 3 are the areas, and the tiers of i = 6 are the three categories according to the direction of the house. For naming and inputting keywords for each information, by pressing the key of each of these items as appropriate, 48-bit code information in which the bit corresponding to the key pressed is "1" and the other bits are "0" Is done in the form of. The keyword thus set and input is temporarily stored in the code memory 6.

Reference numeral 7 is a search file, which is composed of an information file device using a floppy disk. Addresses of the tracks of the information file 3 and the corresponding keywords input from the keyword input section 5 are written in the search file 7. The keyword classification method for searching by the search file 7 is stored in the keyword classification information memory 8.

Reference numeral 10 denotes a table creation unit, which creates a 6 × 8 matrix according to the arrangement of the key panels of the keyword input unit 5, that is, for the key panel shown in FIG. 2 (a). The table created by the table creation unit 10 is controlled by the display control unit 11.
It is displayed on the display unit 12 such as a CRT. In the table displayed on the display unit 12, when a key of the keyword input unit 5 is pressed, the position of the matrix corresponding to the key is blinked.

Then, according to the classification method stored in the keyword classification information memory 8, the control unit 9 registers the image information, the information file 3 in which the registered image information is written.
The address of the track and the keyword input from the keyword input unit 5 and stored in the code memory 6 are associated with each other and written in the search file 7. On the contrary, when the image information is searched, the address of the track of the information file 3 corresponding to the keyword input from the keyword input unit 5 is searched from the search file 7 and the image information recorded in the track of the address is read. . Further, the control unit 9
As described above, the table creation unit 10 is controlled to create a table corresponding to the key panel of the keyword input unit 5, and also the image information read from the information file 3 is displayed on the display unit 12.

Although not shown in FIG. 1, the above-mentioned components are controlled by a system control unit that controls the entire apparatus of the present invention.

The operation of the device of the present invention configured as above will be described.

First, registration of image information will be described. As the image information to be registered, for example, information about a house, specifically, a floor plan of the house and a floor plan of the house are input from the information input unit 1. The information input unit 1 converts the input image information into a digital electric signal and temporarily stores it in the information memory 2.
The image information stored in the information memory 2 in this way is
First, it is sent to the display control unit 11 and displayed on the display unit 12.

Next, the keyword naming input is performed. That is, a keyword is named and input by appropriately pressing each key on the key panel of the keyword input unit 5. For example, the “price” of a house previously input as image information is 11 million yen or “wide”. Sa is 120 m ² and “direction” is south.
As shown in Fig. 2 (a), the positions (i,
If j) taps the keys of (1,2), (3,3) and (6,3), the second
As shown in FIG. 2B, the code information in which the bit corresponding to the depressed key is "1" and the other bits are "0" is stored in the code memory 6. When the keyword is set in this way, the matrix corresponding to the key panel is displayed on the display unit 12, and the position of the matrix corresponding to the key of the key panel that has been pressed is displayed by blinking or the like.

After the image information to be registered and the keyword attached thereto are named and input as described above, the image information is registered by the control signal from the system control unit which controls the entire apparatus of the present invention. First, the image information stored in the information memory 2 is written in the information file 3 by the information recording / reproducing unit 4. At this time, the address of the track of the information file 3 in which the image information is written is read by the information recording / reproducing unit 4. The control unit 9 sets the address read by the information recording / reproducing unit 4, that is, the address of the track in which the image information is written, and the code information of the keyword stored in the code memory 6 as one set, and the search file 7 is set. To record. The registration of one piece of image information is completed as described above, but a plurality of pieces of image information are registered by repeating such an operation.

Next, a search for registered image information will be described.

The registered image information is searched for by inputting a keyword of the image information to be read into the keyword input unit 5. That is, the keyword input to the keyword input unit 5 is temporarily stored in the code memory 6. Now, if the image information you want to read is "price" is in the 11 million yen or 12 million yen range, "area" is 120m ² or 130m ² , and "direction" is a sketch of the residential site and floor plan facing south or east. Then, the key corresponding to each of the key panels of the keyword input unit 5 may be pressed. As a result, as shown in FIG. 2 (c), code information in which the bit corresponding to the depressed key is "1" and the other bits are "0" is stored in the code memory 6.

Now, as shown in FIG. 2 (a), the keywords are classified into three groups of i = 1 and 2 in two stages, i = 3, 4 and 5 in three stages, and i = 6 in one stage ( However, what is actually used is i = 1, 3 and 6 (three stages). In the device of the present invention, within the same classification item, that is, within the same group, the logical sum (OR), and between items, that is, between different groups
Since it is supposed to search by D), the search formula is expressed as follows.

(11 million yen + 12 million yen) × (120m ² + 130m ² ) × (East + South) When the above search formula is shown as the position on the key panel of the keyword input unit 5, the following formula is obtained.

{(1,2) + (1,3)} × {(3,3) + (3,4)} × {(6,1) + (6,3)} On the other hand, in the keyword classification information memory 8 , For example second
When the classification method as shown in FIG. 3A is adopted, the data of the format as shown in FIG. 3 is read from the search file 7. That is, in this data, the classification direction of the 6 × 8 matrix code information shown in FIG. 2 (a) is the horizontal direction, and the first classification item is the first row (i =
1), the second classification item indicates that data is written in the third row (i = 3), and the third classification item indicates that data is written in the sixth row (i = 6).

The control unit 9 sequentially reads the code information of the keywords recorded in the search file 7 and sequentially compares it with the code information stored in the keyword classification information memory 8. When there is code information satisfying the search expression, the control unit 9 reads the address corresponding to the code information from the search file 7 and controls the information recording / reproducing unit 4 to read the information file previously read from the search file 7. The image information written in the form of a digital signal on the track at the address 3 is read out and displayed on the display unit 12 via the display control unit 11.

In this way, the floor plan of the house and the floor plan of the house with the price of 11 million yen or 12 million yen, the area of 120 m ² or 130 m ² , and the facing south or east, for example, is displayed on the display unit 12.

〔effect〕

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to set and input a keyword by selecting a key from each group of the keyword group that is classified into some groups in advance. Therefore, even if a large amount of information is registered and various types of information are registered, there is no difficulty in setting the keyword, and the input operation is easy. Also, since the amount of information (bit number) of the keyword attached to each registered information is constant,
The storage capacity of search files can be used effectively without waste. Further, regarding the operation at the time of registration, the arrangement of the keywords in the keyword input section and the input keywords are displayed as a table on the display section, so that it is extremely easy to confirm the input, and the keyword input error does not occur. By the way, if you make a mistake in entering the keyword, the correct keyword will be used during the search, and the registered information will be stored without being retrieved by this search.

Furthermore, since the keyword group is pre-classified into several groups and the search is performed according to the logical operation depending on the difference between the groups, the keyword input operation can be performed quickly, and the search formula can be created only by this input, and thus multiple keywords can be created. Even if you use the keyword of
As a result, the time required for the search is shortened.

In the above embodiment, the keyword groups are arranged in the horizontal direction of the matrix, but it is needless to say that the keyword groups may be arranged in the vertical direction. In addition, if the keyword headings are configured to be changeable and the classification method according to each heading is stored in the search file, the optimal classification method can be used according to the heading, that is, the type of registered information. It is also easy to do.
