[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art With the spread of the Internet, it has become possible to order wallpaper or the like of a desired pattern from an information device such as a personal computer via the Internet. For example, “Construction Newspaper” dated June 21, 2001
On the second page of the morning newspaper, as a wallpaper output service using the Internet, the user sends information such as image and photo data and size desired by the user to the dealer via the Internet, and the dealer corrects the image based on this information. Introduces a service that assigns sizes and prints directly on cloth. In this service, the output wallpaper is sent or constructed as desired.

[0003] Further, based on image data brought directly to a dealer site by a user without using a communication line such as the Internet or selected by a customer from image data prepared at the dealer site, the image data is appropriately converted. There is also known a service in which an adapted one is printed on wallpaper paper and provided to a user.

[0004]

However, the above-mentioned wallpaper and the like are basically one-piece productions made according to each customer's individual order. Cannot be obtained. For this reason, all or part of the wallpaper had to be ordered again. For this reason, there are problems that it takes time and effort, and the wallpaper and the like that has been applied are discolored over time, and the color tone does not match with the wallpaper that is newly manufactured for repair.

[0005] In such custom-made wallpapers and the like, each user usually expects the wallpaper and the like to be more effective than a simple background. In particular, when it is installed in a facility such as a commercial facility, it is often used for purposes such as decorating a product of the company with a design and combining it with advertisement, and advertising a campaign on a large scale. There is an advertising method called “Train Jack” that unifies ads for one train car as a whole on one theme.
There is a need to unify the entire store with a design of a specific theme. In such a case, when one campaign period ends, it is necessary to re-paste the entire wallpaper. However, in the conventional wallpaper construction, the replacement of the wallpaper requires a specialized contractor, which is expensive.

The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and has as its object to facilitate repair and replacement of wallpaper and the like.

(First Embodiment) In a first embodiment, image data to be printed on the surface of wallpaper or the like created by a trader is transmitted from the trader to the user side or recorded on a medium and delivered. The output can also be performed by a printer on the user side.

FIG. 1 is a diagram for explaining an execution environment according to the present embodiment. A computer 2 is connected to the Internet 1 as a communication network and has a recording device 3 on the consumer side, and a server 4, a recording device 5, a terminal 6, and a wallpaper printer 7 are connected by a private LAN line 8 to the trader side. There is a wallpaper printing system 11.

[0014] Browser software connectable to the Internet 1 is recorded in a computer 2 on the consumer side on a built-in disk as a recording medium, and original image data that can be used as wallpaper by the consumer is recorded in a recording device 3. ing. The server 4 on the trader side has a control module that receives orders and requests from the consumer via the Internet 1 and controls the whole, and enlarges, modifies and allocates image data according to the conditions on the consumer side and prints wallpaper. An image conversion module for converting the image data into data suitable for the printer and wallpaper printing software having a printing module for printing the image data generated by the image conversion module on wallpaper paper are recorded on a built-in disk as a recording medium. The recording device 5 records a plurality of original image data prepared by the trader. The wallpaper printer 7 is a printer that can print a large format. These devices on the trader side are operated by the terminal 6.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart of the main processing of the wallpaper printing software. First, when a consumer accesses the homepage of a trader using the computer 2, wallpaper printing software runs on the server 4 on the trader side, and causes the server 4 as a computer to perform the following operation.

That is, the server 4 is a user input by the consumer.
After authenticating the consumer with an ID or a password, a menu screen (window) is transmitted to the consumer (step S).
1). FIG. 3 is a diagram of the menu screen. As described above, three processes of “new order”, “reorder”, and “data transmission” of wallpaper can be selected on the menu screen. Next, the server 4 receives the selection of the process performed by the consumer on the menu screen (step S2), and determines the content (step S3). When the customer selects "new order processing", the dedicated module is activated to perform a new order processing (step S4). When the customer selects "reorder processing", the dedicated module is activated. Then, a reordering process is performed (step S5). When the consumer selects the "data transmission process", a data transmission process in which the dedicated module is started is performed (step S6).

FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the flow of the new order processing. First, when the dedicated module for the new order processing is activated, the server 4 transmits a screen (window) for specifying the original image. This is a screen including a list of thumbnail images of the original image data group recorded in the recording device 5 of the trader, and the customer specifies from this list the image he or she wants to use as the original image data. Alternatively, it is possible to specify that the image held by the user is used as the original image (step S7). Next, the server 4 receives the specification made by the consumer on the original image specification screen (step S8). When the specification of the consumer is to specify the original image in the recording apparatus 5 on the trader side, the original image data is read from the recording apparatus 5 and taken in, and is recorded in the temporary recording. If the specification of the consumer is to use the image possessed by the consumer as the original image, the image data transmitted from the consumer is received and captured, and is recorded in a temporary record (step S9).

Next, the server 4 transmits an image processing screen (window) including the fetched original image (step S10). FIG. 5 shows the image processing screen. There is an area 20 for displaying the original image at the upper left of the screen, and an enlargement operation selection switch 21, a repeat operation selection switch 22,
A color tone conversion operation selection switch 23 is displayed, and on the right side,
Boxes 24 and 25 for specifying an enlargement ratio, a box 26 for specifying a repeat shift, and a slider 27 for specifying a color tone are displayed. Here, “repeat” is an operation of two-dimensionally repeating an original image to create a large image, and “shift” is designation of shifting the position between adjacent repeat images.
After clicking and selecting switches 21 to 23 with a mouse or the like, the consumer can freely specify enlargement / reduction, repeat, and color tone of the image. Of course, other items such as pasting a logo, synthesizing with another image, and deforming the image may be designated.

Next, the server 4 receives the condition specified by the consumer on the image processing screen (step S11), and processes the original image data based on the condition to generate print image data (step S12). Then, the print image data is transmitted (step S13). The transmitted print image data is displayed in a pop-up window on the screen of the computer 2 on the consumer side. The server 4 receives the examination result from the consumer who has viewed the image display of the print image data (step S14). If the result is not satisfactory, the process returns to step S11.

[0020] If the result of the examination by the customer is satisfactory,
The original image, the conditions specified on the image processing screen, and the generated print image data are recorded in the recording device 5 (step 16). Further, these data are transmitted to the consumer or recorded on a recording medium for delivery to the consumer (step S1).
7). The consumer who has received these data or received it at a later date records these data in the recording device 3 connected to his computer 2. The server 4 prints the generated wallpaper printing image on wallpaper paper to produce a wallpaper (step S18).

FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the flow of the reordering process. First, when the dedicated module for the reordering process is started, the server 4 makes the recording device 15
A list of previous data (original images, processing conditions, wallpaper printing images) recorded in the list is transmitted to the consumer (step S2).
0) Then, the server 4 receives a specification for specifying data by the consumer who has viewed the list (step S21). Then, the designated data is read from the recording device 5 and transmitted to the consumer 5 (Step S22).

Next, a request to change the condition by the consumer who has viewed the transmitted data is received (step S2).
3). When the customer re-orders the previously installed wallpaper for repair, it is possible to correct the color tone conditions and the like in order to cope with fading according to aging. In response to the correction instruction, the server 4 generates a wallpaper printing image corresponding to the correction data (step S24), and transmits the corrected wallpaper printing image data to the consumer (step S25). The image data for wallpaper printing is displayed in a pop-up window on the computer 2 on the consumer side. Next, the server 4 receives the examination result of the consumer who has viewed the corrected wallpaper printing image (step S26). The received examination result is determined, and if the customer is dissatisfied, step S23
Return to

If the result of the examination by the customer is satisfactory,
The original image, the corrected condition, and the corrected print image data are respectively recorded in the recording device 5 (step 28), and these data are recorded on a recording medium for transmission to the consumer or delivery to the consumer ( Step S29). The consumer who has received these data or received it at a later date records these data in the recording device 3 connected to his computer 2. The server 4 prints the generated wallpaper printing image on wallpaper paper to produce wallpaper (step S30).

FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing the flow of the data transmission process. First, when the dedicated module for the transmission process is activated, the server 4 starts the recording device 5 in step S16 and the like.
A list of previous data (original images, processing conditions, wallpaper printing images) recorded in the list is transmitted to the consumer (step S4).
0) Then, the server 4 receives a specification for specifying data by the consumer who has viewed the list (step S41). Then, the designated data is read out from the recording device 5 and transmitted to the consumer 5 or recorded on a recording medium for delivery to the consumer (step S42). The consumer who has received this data or received it at a later date records the data on the recording device 3 connected to his computer 2. Thereafter, the data is freely processed using the computer 2,
The wallpaper for repair (only part of it) can be output by a small printer on its own side.

As described above, in this embodiment, when ordering wallpaper, each data of the original image, the processing conditions, and the image for printing the wallpaper is recorded and stored in the system of the trader, and is also passed to the customer. Recorded and stored. Further, the data recorded and stored on the trader side can be obtained by the demander at any time in response to the demand of the demander. For this reason, consumers can freely process wallpaper printing data on their own computers.
Because it can be printed, consumers can easily output some of the wallpaper themselves for repairing the wallpaper.

It should be noted that the original image may not necessarily be sent because the customer may provide the original image. Further, since the image for wallpaper printing can be derived from the original image and the processing conditions, the data to be recorded and stored may be only one of the processing conditions and the image for wallpaper printing.

Further, if the wallpaper trader puts the paper on the distribution channel and retails the paper, the repair paper is expected to have a certain demand. It is also convenient for consumers because the paper can be easily obtained at retail stores.

Further, when reordering the wallpaper of the trader,
Since the color tone can be corrected, it is easy to perform repair color matching due to aging. Even when the user processes the data on his own computer and outputs the repair wallpaper, the color tone can be freely corrected by the image processing software on the user side. (Second Embodiment) In a second embodiment, a wallpaper or the like is attached to a thin panel at a construction site instead of directly applying a wallpaper or the like to a wall, and the panel is detachably adhered to the wall or the like. It is to let.

FIG. 8 is a sectional view of this panel. An adhesive layer 30 is formed on one surface of a flat plate 31 having appropriate rigidity, such as acrylic, cardboard, or plywood, and an adhesive layer 3 is formed on another surface.
The wallpaper 33 is joined via the second. The adhesive layer 30 has the property of being easily peelable. By pressing the entire panel against the wall, the adhesive layer 30 adheres and adheres to the wall surface,
The entire panel is fixed to the wall. Further, if it becomes unnecessary, the entire panel can be easily peeled off from the wall.

The adhesive layer 32 is applied to the back surface when producing wallpaper. At this time, the blank portion of the wallpaper is cut off after pasting, so that there is no need to apply an adhesive layer to the blank portion. That is, the adhesive may be applied only to the back surface of the portion where the wallpaper pattern is present. The operation of attaching the wallpaper 33 to the flat plate 31 may be performed at a factory or at a construction site. Further, if the adhesive layer 32 is also easily peeled, the same flat plate 31 can be reused many times by replacing only the wallpaper 33.

Since the wallpaper is made into a thin panel,
Construction and removal of wallpaper is easy. (Third Embodiment) In a third embodiment, a plurality of types of wallpapers or the like to be applied to the same site are printed with different patterns, and the plurality of wallpapers are superposed so as to be peelable. It is assumed that. If the user removes the wallpaper from the surface at an appropriate time, the wallpaper underneath is exposed, so that a plurality of designs can be enjoyed by one operation.

FIG. 9 is a sectional view of the wallpaper of the present embodiment. On the back surface of the first wallpaper 43, the second
Wallpaper 41 is in close contact. Secondly, an adhesive layer 40 is formed on the back surface of the wallpaper. The adhesive layer 40 adheres the entire wallpaper to the wall. The adhesive layer 42 is easily peelable. Of course, the number of wallpapers is not limited to two.
