The document portion associated with the above-mentioned specific code indicates the constituent pages for a document consisting of a plurality of pages, and indicates the page for a document consisting of only one page, and can be arbitrarily specified by the user.

〔Effect of the invention〕

Specific codes can be used as bookmarks, and by using this, it is possible to easily perform processes such as searching and displaying documents, printing, and editing of documents, thereby further increasing the ease of use of the device. I can do it.

[Embodiments of the invention]

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

Figure 1? ζ, 1 is a document input section, 2 is a command input section, and these input sections 1 and 2 are connected to the control Q1 section 3. Here, the document input section 1 is for inputting a document as an image, and the command input section 2 has a command keyboard as shown in FIG. 2, and is used for inputting various commands by the operator.

The control section 3 is as above; 65C writing input section 1 and drawing 1
It is connected to a document image memory 5 via an image circuit 4.

The document image memory 5 stores document image information input from the document input section 1.

Furthermore, the control unit 3 performs signal delivery, interpretation, and overall control, and as shown in FIG. It has a memory 31 and, as shown in FIG. 4, a search result working memory 32 that stores I, the document name of the search result, and the page number. Here, the document image memory address of the display print work memory 31 is the address in the document image memory 5. Also.

In addition to these memories, it also has an editing memory.

On the other hand, a document management memory 7 is connected to the control section 3 via a document management section 6. Here, the document management section 6 is the control section 3.
It receives signals from the memory 7 and performs writing to and reading from the memory 7, search 1 editing processing, and the like. Also, the memory 7 is the document image memory 5? It manages the stored document images, and has a main management memory 71 as shown in FIG. 5 and an image address management memory 72 as shown in FIG. Here, the main management memory 71 manages the entire document, and includes a document number, document name, page number, author, and image address management memory pointer. The image address management memory 72 also includes the document image memory 5 corresponding to the pointer indicated by the article management memory 71.
This indicates the address within.

Also, the control unit 3 is provided with a bookmark pipe I via the bookmark management unit 8.
I■Memory 9 is connected. Here, bookmark management section 8
receives the signal from the spacer 3, and performs # writing into the bookmark memory 9, reading, searching processing, etc. The bookmark management memory 9 is for managing bookmarks, and as shown in FIG. 7, it is made up of bookmark names, document names, page numbers, and the like.

10 is an output unit which receives an output request signal from the control unit 3 and address data in the document image memory 5 and outputs the image [W
The document image designated by the circuit 4 is output to an output device (display, printer, etc.).

Next, its effect will be explained.

In this case, 1. Inputting a document from the document input unit 1. 1. Transferring to the document image memory 5. 1. Main management memory 71 of the document management memory 7.
The setting of data to is the same as the conventional file method, so we will omit the explanation here.

Only the parts related to the bookmark function of the present invention will be described.

First, to set a bookmark, select the "Bookmark" command from the command input section 2 while the page to be bookmarked is displayed on the output section 10, or this page is specified as the work target. Enter. The output from this command input section 2 is sent to the control section 3.

At that moment, the control unit 3 determines that a bookmark set request has been made, displays 1, and reads out the currently displayed or specified document name and page number stored in the print work memory 31.

This is sent to the bookmark management section 8 together with the bookmark set signal and the bookmark master. As a result, the bookmark management unit 8 receives these information, and upon receiving and interpreting the bookmark set request, the bookmark master, document name, and page number are stored in the tremor management memory 9 as shown in FIG. Then, as soon as the writing is completed, a reset end signal is sent back to the control section 3.

Thereafter, by doing the same, bookmarks B, C, etc. are set as shown in t47.

Next, to search for documents with bookmarks set in this way, input the ``bookmark tester'' command and the search target, for example, bookmark master, from the command input section 2.The output from the command input section 2 is sent to the control section. 3. Then, the control section 3 determines that it is a search request, and this output is sent as is to the bookmark management section 8.The invitation management section 8 receives this and sends it to the bookmark 1 memory 9. The document name and page number of the corresponding bookmark master are extracted.Then, these information is sent to the bookmark search end signal to the control section 3, and stored in the search result storage memory 32 of the control section 3. Ru.

In this state, the contents of the searched bookmark A (♂
), input a "display" or "print" command from the command input section 2. Then, the document name stored in the search result work memory 32 of the control unit 3 based on the input at this time.

Information such as the page number is sent to the management section 6.

The document image memory address of the designated page of the corresponding document is read from the memories 71 and 72 of the document management memory 7, and is displayed on the control section 3 and sent back to the print work memory 31. Therefore, display and printing are performed via the output section 10 according to the contents of the display/print work memory 31 at this time. Here, there are multiple pages of the retrieved document, and if the contents are to be displayed, the search result working memory 3 of the control unit 3
If only the first page of the document stored in 2 is displayed and the second and subsequent pages are to be displayed, a ``display next bookmark'' command is input from the command input section 2.

Then, the control section 3 compares the data in the display print work memory 31 with the data in the search result memory 32, and displays the second and subsequent pages in order. In addition, in the case of printing the contents (pages) containing bookmark A, the searched page is printed in full size.

Therefore, by doing the same below, bookmarks A and B
, C... can be arbitrarily searched for and documents corresponding to these can be displayed and printed.

In addition, such display and printing functions can be used regardless of the ``direct search'' function.In this case.

There are cases where a combination of the "display" or "print" command, document name, page number, etc. is input from the command input unit 2, and cases where one document name, page number, etc. are omitted. In the former case, a command from the command input unit 2 is sent to the document management unit 6 via the control unit 3, and the management unit 6 reads out the document image memory address of the corresponding document page from the document management memory. The data is returned to the control section 3, where it is displayed and printed via the output section 10. In addition, the latter case is the same as the case of "display" and "print" after "bookmark search" mentioned above, and the command input section 2
When a command is input, the sentence subject L page number set in the search result working memory 32 in the control unit 3 is sent to the management unit 6 and displayed and printed through the same process as described above. will be carried out. Here, search result working memory 3
If nothing is set in 2, display print work memory 3
Display printing is performed using the document image address within 1.

In this case, if nothing is set in the history display/print work memory 31, no display or printing will be performed.

Next, the case of deleting a set bookmark will be described. In this case, a "bookmark deletion" command and a bookmark master are inputted from the command input section 2.

When the output of the command input section 2 is sent to the control section 3, the control section 3 determines that there is a bookmark deletion request, and these are sent as they are to the bookmark management section 8. Since this is a bookmark deletion request, the bookmark management unit 8 first deletes all the document page numbers to which bookmark A is attached from the management memory 9, and then deletes the bookmark name as well. Then, upon completion of the deletion, an end signal is sent back to the control section 3.

Thereafter, by doing the same, deletions are also performed for Shiyaku B, C, . . . .

Next, a case will be described in which editing is performed using the bookmark function.

In this case, an example will be described in which a page designated by bookmark A in one document P is moved to a page designated by bookmark A' in document Q. First, from the command input section 2, enter the "move" command and P, A, Q.

Input A'. Then, a bookmark page search request is sent to the bookmark management section 8 via the control section 3, and the bookmark management section 8 searches the bookmark management memory 9, determines the page number, and sends it back to the control section j. The control unit 3 holds page numbers P and A in an internal editing work memory. Next, a similar search is performed using the document name Q and the bookmark name A'. At this time, when a plurality of pages are retrieved, a message is displayed to the operator through the output unit 10, and the operator is asked to confirm which page should be selected as the destination page. This destination page is held in the editing work memory of the control unit 3. Thereafter, in the control section 3, data 1 in the main management memory 71s and both image address management memory 72 is moved through the document management section 6 (a). In this case, one editing command includes "move", "insert", "delete", etc., but the operations are the same as described above until a page is specified using a bookmark. Further, since the editing processing method after the page is specified may be the same as the conventional method, the explanation of C is omitted here.

Therefore, with this configuration, bookmarks can be freely inserted between electronically filed documents, and the bookmarks can be used to easily search, display, and print documents, as well as edit them. Kokichi was able to do the same,
Moreover, it can exhibit the same flexibility and ease of use as conventional bookmarks using paper strips, and the ease of use of the device can be further improved.

It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, but can be implemented with appropriate modifications within the scope without changing the gist.

For example, in the implementation described above, the operator is not notified whether a "bookmark" such as a G-tube is currently set.
Adding this function eliminates mistakes in setting "bookmarks" and increases the effectiveness of the invention. Also, by inputting the operator's name when inputting the "reset bookmark" command or when starting to use the device, bookmarks can be individually processed. For this purpose, the bookmark management table may be configured as shown in FIG. Furthermore, if you have bookmarks with the same name in several places and then want to delete only the bookmark on a specific page among those pages, the format of the deletion command is, for example, "Delete bookmark" bookmark expert, document name B, page number - If you do something like P, you can delete only document B and page number P from the same bookmark master. Furthermore, in the above, the data (document name) resulting from the bookmark search.

Although only the page number (page number) is held in the search result working memory of the control section, the display operation can be made more rapid by including a deliberate memory address in the search result data. In addition, in the "Display next bookmark" command, in order to display the page with the next bookmark, the data in the display/print working memory and the data in the search results working memory are compared to determine which data is the next one. When a bookmark is displayed, the comparison work can be simplified by indicating which data in the search result work memory is being displayed in the display print work memory.
