Abstract

Document information management system capable of generating human/computer interactive document sheets that allow relevant information retrieval at user remote sites. A file server stores a plurality of source data files related to respectively corresponding information components. A sheet-formed information medium is provided on which document objects including the information components, link information for linking a source data file with a corresponding information component, and selecting information for selecting arbitrary information components are recorded. A control terminal apparatus is connected to the file server and includes a communication function and a retrieval function for retrieving a desired file stored in the file server. At least one remote terminal apparatus is capable of reading the sheet-formed information medium, receiving data from and transmitting data to the control terminal apparatus, and producing a document received from the control terminal apparatus on a recording sheet. Upon receiving the selecting information and the link information included in the transmitted data of the sheet-formed information medium from the remote terminal apparatus, the c…
