ABSTRACT:
The present invention involves a novel form and method for creating and using document sized file storage sheets containing one or more files. The present invention employs a user model similar to that of a floppy disk. A storage sheet made in accordance with the principles of the present invention comprise at least one sheet of an information storing substrate material, commonly paper. A system for the inputting and processing of storage sheet images is disclosed. The storage sheet comprises a machine readable mark (a "file storage sheet flag") which alerts the system is currently reading a file storage sheet. Upon image input, this flag is deliberately scanned for by the system. The storage sheet also comprises a machine readable directory that informs the system about the general characteristics of the files stored on the sheet. Such general information may include the name of the files, the number of bytes, creation date, owner, the location of the first byte of the file on the sheet, and the like. If the current file storage sheet comprises more than one sheet, then the directory may inform the system where the files are located among the separate sheets. A file storage sheet may optionally comprises a human readable label and a human readable directory.
