Abstract

PURPOSE:To effectively carry out a multipage registration operation by continu ing a registrable condition unit a registration completion signal is transmitted from a remote terminal when a registration request signal is transmitted from the remote terminal to set the registrable condition, and making unable to register and image information from other remote terminal. CONSTITUTION:When a multipage registration command signal is inputted from a keyboard 14a of a remote terminal A2, a system control section 16a becomes a multi page registration mode. Then, at first, an image information of page 1 is registered in an image file section 12. Similarly, when all the image information is completed to be registered, a communication processing section 15a feeds a registration completion signal to a center 1 and a registration mode is released. In this manner, after the registration command signal is fed to a center 1 from a certain remote terminal, the center 1 responds only to the registration command signal from the remote terminal. Accordingly, during the multipage resistration, a correct multi page registration can be done without the image information from other remote terminal being registered.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to an information file device (hereinafter referred to as center The present invention relates to an information file device network system configured by connecting a center (hereinafter referred to as a remote terminal) and a plurality of terminal devices (hereinafter referred to as remote terminals) having substantially the same configuration as the center through a communication line.

Conventional technology In recent years, with the increase in the amount of information and the rationalization of administrative processing, information file devices using optical disks with a large capacity have been put into practical use. Network systems that can be configured by connecting through lines are attracting attention. (For example, 5ANYOTECHNICAL REVIEW
VOL, 16 Na3 +,: seen. )by the way,
One of the network systems that is attracting attention is LAN (Local Area Network).
k) exists, and there is a demand for connecting a plurality of remote terminals using an information file device as a center, and to register image information from the remote terminals to the center and/or search for image information from the center. In such a LAN network system, when a remote terminal sends an image information registration request signal to the center, a line connection between the center and the remote terminal is established during the registration operation period for one page of image information. It is.

On the other hand, as an image information registration operation in an information file device, there is a multi-page registration operation in which image information consisting of a plurality of pages is successively registered as one image information.

(C) The problem that the invention seeks to solve As mentioned above, L
In an AN network system, when attempting to perform multi-page registration from a remote terminal,
In the conventional technology, the following problems occur.

Now, in order to perform multi-page registration from remote terminal A, when a registration request signal is sent to the center, a connection is established between the center and remote terminal A, and the image information of the first page can be registered. When the registration operation of the image information to decline is completed, the connection is released.

Next, before remote terminal A sends a registration request signal to the center again in an attempt to register the image information on the second page, another remote terminal B sends a registration request signal to the center. A connection is established with terminal B, and the image information input from remote terminal B is registered together with the image information already input from remote terminal A and registered at the center.

That is, a multi-page registration operation cannot be performed.

An object of the present invention is to provide an information file device network system that can reliably perform multi-page registration operations.

(2) Means for solving the problem The information file device network system of the present invention sends a registration request signal (Ft) from a remote terminal to the center.
Image information can be registered from the image information input section of the remote terminal that sent the registration request signal to the image file section of the center, and this registration enabled state is registered from the remote terminal that sent the registration request signal to the center. It is characterized in that it continues until a termination signal is sent.

(E) Function According to the present invention, when registering image information from a certain remote terminal to the center, when the remote terminal sends a registration request signal to the center and is set to a registration enabled state, the remote terminal registers image information. The registration enabled state continues until the end signal is sent, and in this state, registration of image information from other remote terminals is disabled.

(f) Example FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing one embodiment of the present invention.

(1) is the center, <2) and (3) are respectively remote terminals A
and remote terminal B. First, to explain the center (1) in detail, (10) is an image information input unit that optically scans a document and inputs image information, <11) is an information storage unit that temporarily stores the above image information, (12) is an image file section in which a plurality of the above image information is written,
Consists of optical discs.

Note that search information associated with the above image information is also recorded in the image file section (12). (13) is a CRT
(14) is a keyboard for inputting various commands or search information; (15> is a heating processing unit that performs overcontrol of image information; (16) is a system control unit that controls each of the above parts.And a remote control unit.

The remote terminal A (2) and the remote terminal B (3) have configurations in which the image file section (12) is removed from each of these sections.
(20) is each communication processing unit (15) (15a) of the center (1), remote terminal A (2), and remote terminal B (3).
) (15b), such a line 20) connects L A N (Local Ar: a Network
k) is configured.

The image information registration operation in the refusal configuration will be described below.

(I) Image information registration operation within the center The image information input from the image information input unit (lO) is stored in the information storage unit (
11), and then recorded in the image file section (12) together with the search information input from the keyboard (14) based on the registration signal from the keyboard (14).

(I) Single page registration operation of image information from remote terminal The registration operation will be explained with reference to the control sequence shown in FIG. 2. Note that Fig. 2 shows the multi-page registration operation described later and shows the operation of registering image information for two pages, but the single-page registration operation described above only registers the image information for the first page. Refer to the registration operation.

When the single page climbing command signal is input from the keyboard (14a) of the remote terminal A (2), the communication processing section (15a>) first sends the line (20) to the communication processing section (15) of the center (1). The communication processing unit (15) of the center (1) outputs a connection establishment signal to the communication processing unit (15a) of the remote terminal A (2) in response to the connection request signal to decline. Therefore, a connection is established between the center A (1) and the remote terminal A (2).

Next, the communication processing unit (15a>) of remote terminal A (2)
Sends a registration command signal. The registration command signal to decline is a registration request signal and this registration request signal is sent to remote terminal A.
The communication processing unit (15) of the center (1) uses the ID signal to indicate that the communication processing unit (15) of the center (1) has sent a registration command signal from remote terminal A (2). becomes.

When the registration mode is entered in this way, the image information stored in the information storage unit (lla) of remote terminal A (2) and the search information that can be input from the keyboard (14a) are transferred from the communication processing unit (15a) via the line (20). Center (1)
sent to. The center (1) records each piece of information in the image file section (12) under the control of the system control section (16).

After such registration is completed, by inputting a registration end signal from the keyboard (14a) of remote terminal A (2), the registration mode between the center (1) and remote terminal A (2) can be canceled. Connections between them can be released. Note that the above-mentioned registration end signal is sent from remote terminal A (
The communication processing unit (15a) in 2) may be configured to automatically finish sending the image information after a certain period of time has passed since it sent it.

(I[) Multi-page registration operation of image information from remote terminal When a multi-page registration command signal is input from the keyboard (t4a) of remote terminal A (2), the system control unit (16a) enters the multi-page registration mode. Become.

First, the image information of the first page is stored in the image file section (
12), but such registration operation is performed in exactly the same manner as the single page registration operation described above. In this case, the registration end signal has not yet been sent.

When the registration on the first page is completed, remote terminal A (2)
The communication processing unit (15a) sends out the registration command signal again. Such a registration command signal is a registration request signal, an ID
It consists of a signal and a page instruction signal indicating that it is the second page of multi-page registration. The communication processing unit 15) of the center (1) receives the registration command signal, and in response, the center (1) enters the registration mode of the image information of the second page.

And the communication processing unit (15a) of remote terminal A (2)
sends the second page image information stored in the information storage unit (lla) to the center (1) via the line (20). At the center (1), the image information of the second page has not been registered in the image file section 12) as described above.
Register at the position following the image information on the page.

If there is further image information to be registered, the image information is registered in the same manner as the second vane image information registration procedure described above.
Information can be registered.

Here, for example, the registration of image information for the first page is completed,
Registration command No. 2 for image information on the second page is sent from the communication processing unit (15a) of remote terminal A (2) to the center (1).
If remote terminal B (3) is unable to operate before being sent to
Let us consider a case where No. 8 and a registration command signal are sent to the center (1) in response to a request from the communication processing unit (15b).

In this case, the communication processing unit (15) of the center (1) has already received the registration command No. 2 including the ID signal from the remote terminal A (2), and for the registration command No. 2, the communication processing unit (15) has already received the registration command No. It has been set to respond only to those that contain the image information. Therefore, the registration command signal from remote terminal B (3) is invalid, and no image information is registered from remote terminal B (3).

Finally, when all the image information has been registered, the communication processing W (15a) sends this registration completion signal to the center (1) by inputting a registration completion signal from the keyboard (14a) of the remote terminal A (2). This cancels the registration mode between the center (1) and remote terminal A (2).

As described above, after a registration command signal is sent to the center (1) from a certain remote terminal, the center (1) responds to the registration command signal only from the remote terminal. Therefore, the image information from other remote terminals will not be registered completely during multi-vane registration, and multi-vane registration can be performed accurately.

In the above embodiment, the registration completion signal is input from the remote terminal A (2) and sent from the communication processing unit (15a) to the center (1).
If new image information is not sent within a certain period of time after the processing unit (15a) sends one page of image information, the communication processing unit (15a) automatically ends the registration. When configured to send signals, the keyboard (14a
) Due to an input error or forgetting to input the registration end signal from the center (1) and the remote terminal A (
2) The establishment of a registration mode connection with i*
This can be prevented.

(G) Effects of the Invention According to the present invention, a multi-page registration operation can be performed reliably.
