Abstract

PURPOSE:To easily print plural images by adding a printing control means for simultaneously controlling the printing and the retrieval therewith aside from a retrieving means. CONSTITUTION:When a retrieving and printing mode (c) is instructed by a keyboard 2, an input control means 11 operates the printing control means 14. A printing data file formed based on image information desired to print to a magnetic disk 51 or a floppy disk 52 is inputted. Based on this printing data file, an image is automatically retrieved from an optical disk 31 or a magnetic disk 32 independently from a retrieving means 12 based on this printing data file to instruct to image information control means 13, operate a printer 14 and print. In such a way, since the information of the image printed by the printing control means for simultaneously controlling the retrieval and the printing can be inputted in a file form, the large quantity of the image can be printed without repeating the operation of a retrieval according to the information.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] INDUSTRIAL APPLICATION This invention is utilized for an electronic filing device.

In particular, the present invention relates to control means for printing images recorded in an electronic filing device.

〔overview〕

The present invention enables multiple searches for desired data from a large amount of data by storing in advance search data for a series of information to be displayed on the storage content display means of an electronic filing device and automatically searching using this search data. This allows you to save time and effort.

[Conventional technology]

A conventional example will be explained using FIG. 2. In the conventional electronic filing device, when the electronic file body 1 is designated as search mode A using the keyboard 2, the input control means 11 transmits the command to the search means 12, and the search means 12 enters a searchable state. Therefore, when the operator searches for an image to be printed from a large amount of recorded information stored on the optical disk 31 or the magnetic disk 32 and subsequently issues print instruction B, the search means 12 sends the image information to the image information control means 13. The printer 41 is operated to perform printing.
A printed original 42 is obtained. Furthermore, if another image is to be printed, this operation is repeated.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

Conventional devices like this have the disadvantage of not being able to print multiple images with a -degree instruction because they search for the image they want to print, print it, and then search and print it again when they want to print another image. .

The present invention aims to eliminate these drawbacks and provides an electronic filing device that can easily print multiple images.

[Means for solving problems]

The present invention provides a second storage means that stores in advance search data for searching a desired unit information group to be displayed on the display means from the first storage means that stores a large amount of unit information groups;
The present invention is characterized by comprising a control means for issuing a command to transfer a desired unit information group from the first storage means to the display means based on the search data stored in the second storage means.

[Effect]

When a file storing information on an image to be printed is manually inputted to a control means for simultaneously controlling search and display, a large amount of images are retrieved from a storage means according to this information and are automatically provided to a display means. Thereby, compared to the conventional example in which information is searched for each unit information group, the effort of searching can be saved.

〔Example〕

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block configuration diagram showing the configuration of an embodiment of the present invention. The present invention is characterized in that it includes print control means that simultaneously controls search and printing, in addition to the conventional search means.

As shown in FIG. 1, this embodiment includes an optical disk 31 and a magnetic disk 32 which are first storage means for storing a large amount of unit information groups, and an image which is a display means for displaying a plurality of unit information groups. An information control means 13, a printer 41, and a magnetic disk 51 and a floppy disk 52, which are second storage means that store in advance search data for retrieving a desired unit information group to be displayed on the display means from the first storage means. and print control means 14 which is a control means for issuing a command to transfer a desired unit information group from the first storage means to the display means based on the search data stored in the second storage means. .

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained. When the search print mode C is designated using the keyboard 2, the input control means 11 activates the print control means 14. A print data file created based on the information of the image to be printed is input to the magnetic disk 51 or floppy disk 52, and based on this print data file, images are automatically retrieved from the optical disk 31 or magnetic disk 32 independently of the search means 12. The information is searched, the image information control means 13 is instructed, and the printer 41 is operated to perform printing.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention allows information on images to be printed to be inputted by file formation using a print control means that simultaneously controls search and printing, so that a large number of images can be printed according to that information without repeating search operations. There are effects that can be done.
