Abstract: In an image processing apparatus, the data form of data to be processed by an application program is stored and the data forms of data are stored. Processing by the application program, and the data to be processed are represented by respective peculiar icons, and the correspondence between the icon representing the processing by the application program and the icon representing the data to be processed by the application program is displayed based on the stored-information. Thus, the user can operate with the data without being aware of the correspondence between data and an application which can process the data.

Abstract: An information network is disclosed in which information to be made available to each of several information processing apparatuses is stored together with associated periods of accessibility; and the accessibility of the stored information to the information processing apparatuses is controlled according to the stored associated periods of accessability.

Abstract: CCP data as common data, which can be utilized by a plurality of users or applications, are stored in a CCP buffer in units of data types (format IDs). More specifically, the CCP buffer stores one CCP data per format ID. Upon reception of a request for CCP data from an application, the system analyzes this request to acquire the format ID of the CCP data requested by the application. The system searches CCP data having a format ID coinciding with the requested format ID from data management information of CCP data. The system passes the searched CCP data to the application, and ends processing. In this manner, CCP data can be stored in correspondence with a plurality of data types, and required CCP data can be easily selected by using its format ID. Therefore, operability with respect to common data can be improved, and work efficiency of users can be improved.

Abstract: An information filing apparatus includes a controller that stores input information in a first file unit, selects information which satisfies a first requisite among the information stored in the first file unit and stores the selected information in a second file unit. The controller further selects the information which satisfies a second requisite among the information stored in the second file unit, and erases the just selected information from the second file unit.

Abstract: An image recording apparatus of this invention includes a microfilm feeder for moving images on a microfilm to a read position; a printer section for forming an image on the microfilm located at the read position on a sheet; a plurality of bin trays for stacking the sheets delivered from the printer section; a sorter for distributing the sheets delivered from the printer section to the bin trays; a case mark detector for detecting a case mark formed in correspondence with a specific one of images of each case on the microfilm; and a CPU for controlling the sorter in accordance with an output from the case mark detector so that different bin trays hold the sheets, on which images of each objective case are formed, in units of cases; and an input unit for inputting a copy set number. The CPU also controls the printer section so as to repeat an operation for sequentially recording the images of each objective case in a predetermined order in units of sets.
