Claims
- 1. A link information management method using a computer apparatus including a CPU, an input device, a display device and a storage device storing first area information concerning a first area including a closed area, second area information concerning a second area including a closed area, attribute information correlated with said first area information and old link information indicative of a corresponding relationship between said first area information and said attribute information, comprising the steps of:
a) displaying said first area and said second area in accordance with said first area information and said second area information, respectively, and obtaining position information of corresponding points of a predetermined number indicative of the same positions instructed on said first area and said second area through said input device; b) obtaining a translation equation for translating said first area information into said second area information by using said position information of corresponding points and judging similarity between the closed area of said first area information and the closed area of said second area information translated based on said translation equation; c) generating current link information which causes said second area information and said attribute information to be correlated with each other based on the judged results of similarity and said old link information; and d) displaying said attribute information and the closed area on said second area on said display device by using said current link information thus generated.
- 2. A link information management method as claimed in claim 1, wherein said old link information and said attribute information are compared and grouped by using access/update day in said step (c) and said current link information is generated based on compared and grouped results obtained by said access/update day, said judged results of similarity and said old link information in said step (d).
- 3. A link information management method as claimed in claim 1, wherein said current link information is generated so as to have a class indicative of whether or not the generated current link information is certain current link information in said step (c), attribute information linked by said current link information and the closed area on the second area are displayed in a first mode or a second mode in response to whether or not the generated current link information is certain current link information, and a class indicating whether or not corresponding the current link information is certain current link information is changed by operating the displayed attribute information and closed area on the second area in a predetermined manner in said step (d).
- 4. A link information management method as claimed in said step (b) in claim 1, wherein said similarity is judged by using character recognized results obtained within closed areas of the closed area of said first area information and the closed area of said second area information.
- 5. A link information management method as claimed in claim 1, wherein a data format of said first area information and a data format of said second area information are different from each other.
- 6. A computer-readable storage medium storing a program for implementing a link information management method using a computer system including a CPU, an input device, a display device and a storage device for storing first area information concerning a first area including a closed area, second area information concerning a second area including a closed area, attribute information correlated with said first area information and old link information indicative of a corresponding relationship between said first area information and said attribute information, said method comprising the steps of:
a) displaying said first area and said second area in accordance with said first area information and said second area information, respectively, and obtaining position information of corresponding points of a predetermined number indicative of the same positions instructed on said first area and said second area through said input device; b) obtaining a translation equation for translating said first area information into said second area information by using said position information of corresponding points and judging similarity between the closed area of said first area information and the closed area of said second area information translated based on said translation equation; c) generating current link information which causes said second area information and said attribute information to be correlated with each other based on the judged results of said similarity and said old link information; and d) displaying said attribute information and the closed area on said second area on said display device by using said current link information thus generated.
