Patent number: 7197704Abstract: There are provided a provide a document management method, a document management system, and a storage medium storing a program for executing the method, which enable a plurality of documents provided with identifiers having respective priorities to be collectively subjected to processing operations according to the order of priority. A plurality of files of documents are managed by recording the plurality of files of documents such that the files can be retrieved. Attribute information of recorded ones of the plurality of files, information of results of retrieval carried out on the files, and information of indices for the files, are listed on a file-by-file basis, in a single document file list. Identifiers having respective priorities independent of the results of the retrieval are assigned to a plurality of files listed in the single document file list, that are desired to be subjected to a predetermined identical processing.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 2000Date of Patent: March 27, 2007Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Masashi Yahara

Patent number: 6862603Abstract: A file management system, a file management method, and a storage medium by which a higher productivity is achieved by efficient document indexing. In copying index data, a copy is created from text data of an application such as a text editor or a spread sheet or from index data displayed on a document list of a document management system. A range for pasting index data is selected by a pointing device or keyboard operation. The selected range includes a record as a search result, a record in which a new document is recorded, and a pre-index record. If a user gives an instruction on pasting index data, the obtained index data is checked to be recordable data for a field of the selected cell. If it is recordable data, index data record processing is performed.Type: GrantFiled: September 1, 1999Date of Patent: March 1, 2005Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Satoru Nakajima, Kamon Hasuo, Masashi Yahara, Ryuichi Masuda, Tsutomu Murayama

Patent number: 6594650Abstract: A document management system having enhanced operability so that a plurality of documents can be processed at a time by integrating a search operation, an image recording operation, and an index input operation. In the document management system of the present invention, input search conditions are transmitted to a search portion, which finds out a document satisfying the search conditions from a document data base via an index data recording management portion and outputs the result to a document list control portion. The document list control portion prepares a document list from the result and displays it in a document list display portion. For a new record processing, image data on a manuscript read by a scanner is output to an image control portion. The image control portion records the image data into an image recording portion and reports new document creating information to the document list control portion.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 1999Date of Patent: July 15, 2003Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Kamon Hasuo, Masashi Yahara, Ryuichi Masuda, Tsutomu Murayama, Satoru Nakajima
