Abstract

An image filing method including following steps is provided. A plurality of documents are scanned in sequence to generate a plurality of scan image data. A sheet form is searched from these image scan data. When there are M sheet forms searched from the scan image data, the scan image data are divided into M groups, and the sheet form is set up in a home page of each group, wherein M is an integral larger than 1. M files corresponding to the M groups are created.

Claims

1. An image filing method used in a scanner, the image filing method comprising:

scanning a plurality of documents in sequence to generate a plurality of scan image data;

searching a sheet form from the scan image data; and

dividing the scan image data into M groups, and setting up the sheet form in a home page of each group when there are M sheet forms searched from the scan image data, wherein M is an integral larger than 1; and

creating M files corresponding to the M groups.

2. The image filing method according to claim 1, further comprising:

searching a keyword string from the home page of each group and identifying an encoded string arranged after the keyword string, and automatically determining a file name for each file according to the encoded string if the keyword string is found.

3. The image filing method according to claim 1, further comprising:

scanning a comparison document to generate a comparison image data; and

searching a sheet form from these scan image data according to the comparison image data.

4. The image filing method according to claim 1, further comprising:

receiving an instruction for setting up a sheet form; and

searching the sheet form from these scan image data according to the instruction for setting up the sheet form.

5. An image filing method used in a scanner, the image filing method comprising:

searching a sheet form from an initial scan image data;

if the sheet form appears in the initial scan image data, setting the initial scan image data having the sheet form as a home page; and

creating an initial file corresponding to the initial scan image data.

6. The image filing method according to claim 5, further comprising:

searching a keyword string from the initial scan image data and identifying a first encoded string arranged after the keyword string, and automatically determining a file name for the initial file according to the first encoded string if the keyword string is found.

7. The image filing method according to claim 6, further comprising:

searching the keyword string from a second scan image data and identifying a second encoded string arranged after the keyword string, adding the second scan image data to the initial file if the keyword string is found and it is determined that the second encoded string is the same as the first encoded string.

8. The image filing method according to claim 7, wherein if the keyword string is not found, the second scan image data is added to the initial file.

9. The image filing method according to claim 7, wherein the second scan image data is a scan image data generated following the initial scan image data.

10. The image filing method according to claim 5, further comprising:

receiving an instruction for setting up a sheet form; and

searching the sheet form from the initial scan image data according to the instruction for setting up the sheet form.
