< specifically processes >
The process of the print system 1 of present embodiment design is below described in detail in detail.Client terminal 16 of the present embodiment such as carries out the print processing shown in Figure 19.
Figure 19 is a routine print processing flow chart of client terminal.In step S1, document compiling software 21 accepts the printing requirement of selection imagination print driver 22 as object output of user's proposition.Document compiling software 21 sends printing activity to imaginary print driver 22.
In step S2, print data in the middle of imaginary print driver 22 generates according to software data, sends to printing flow process plug-in unit 31 and prints plug-in unit.In step 33, print flow process plug-in unit 31 and read scene, come into effect the parsing adopting this scene to specify.
Print flow process plug-in unit 31 and enter step S4, substitute into N by 1.In step S5, print flow process plug-in unit 31 and attempt obtaining of N number of rule.If print flow process plug-in unit 31 N number of rule can not be obtained, then terminate the print processing shown in Figure 19.If obtain N number of rule, print flow process plug-in unit 31 and enter step S6, judge whether to there is the condition according to N number of rule settings.
If existed according to N number of rule settings condition, then print flow process plug-in unit 31 and enter step S7, start the plug-in unit 24 that implementation is carried out according to the condition of N number of rule settings processing, carry out the process of condition shown in Figure 20.If there is no the condition of N number of rule settings, then print flow process plug-in unit 31 and enter step S9.
Figure 20 is a routine condition process chart.Carry out the plug-in unit 24 carrying out processing according to the condition of N number of rule settings obtains the parameter defined condition in the step s 21 value from middle print data.Whether the value of the parameter that plug-in unit 24 judgement in step S22 obtains is eligible, and judged result sent back to printing flow process plug-in unit 31.
Return Figure 19, the printing flow process plug-in unit 31 receiving judged result enters the process of step S8, judges that whether judged result is eligible.If judged result is eligible, then prints flow process plug-in unit 31 and enter step S9, start the plug-in unit 24 of the process of the action carried out by N number of rule settings, carry out action process.And if judged result is ineligible, then print the process that flow process plug-in unit 31 enters step S11.
In the message informing action shown in this display Figure 21, as an example of action process, be used for explanation action process.Figure 21 is a routine message informing action process chart.
In step S31, message informing plug-in unit 32 obtains message informing content from the rule definition file set according to rule action.Notification Method, content of announcement, icon and the option etc. of content such as the setting screen 1130 shown in Figure 17 sets of message informing.
In step S32, message informing plug-in unit 32 judges whether Notification Method is message box.If Notification Method is not message box, then message informing plug-in unit 32 carries out balloon display in step S33, then terminates the process of Figure 21.
If Notification Method is message box, then message informing plug-in unit 32 enters step S34, display content of announcement.Then, in step S35, message informing plug-in unit 32 waits for that user replies.After user replies, message informing plug-in unit 32 obtains answer content from user.
Enter step S37, judge to reply whether content is clicking action key, such as, press customization action etc.If replying content is clicking action key, then message informing plug-in unit 32 is in step S39, carries out the process based on action key, terminates the process of Figure 21.
When entering step S38, if reply content such as pressing OK key, then message notice plug-in unit 32 terminates the process of Figure 21.And if answer content is not such as press OK key, then message notice plug-in unit 32 enters step S40, carry out and cancel process, then terminate the process of Figure 21.
Return Figure 19, after the process of step S9 carried out by printing flow process plug-in unit 31, judge whether to be set to after having carried out N number of rule in step S10, do not carried out next rule and end process.
If be set to do not carry out next rule and end process after having carried out N number of rule, then print flow process plug-in unit 31 and terminate the print processing shown in Figure 19.And if be not set to not carry out next rule after having carried out N number of rule and end process, then enter step S11, printing flow process plug-in unit 31 couples of N adds after 1, returns step S5.
Such as, when rule is defined as unconditionally changing the action of the action of print setting (colored setting=black and white) and printing (to printer A), owing to there is no condition, thus carry out two action process of rule definition in step s 9.This rule is the example that mandatory black and white prints.
And if scene is defined as having ready conditions and the setting rule do not carried out next rule after carrying out and end process and unconditional rule when, then action process when can be divided into eligible and action process in addition.
If the setting Rules defining criteria (number of pages is more than 50 pages) do not carried out next rule after carrying out and end process and the action printing (to printer A), unconditional rule definition prints the action of (to printer B).
Now in step S5, obtain the rule of definite condition (number of pages is more than 50 pages) and printing (to printer A) action.Eligible if (number of pages is more than 50 pages), then print printing (to printer A) the action process that rule definition carried out in step s 9 by flow process plug-in unit 31.Then in step S10, end process because rule is set to not carry out next rule, so, print flow process plug-in unit 31 and end process.
Ineligible if (number of pages is more than 50 pages), then prints flow process plug-in unit 31 and return step S5, obtain the rule being defined as unconditional printing (to printer B) action.Owing to being unconditional, thus regularly print control section 71 carries out printing (to printer B) the action process defined in rule in step s 9.
In addition, in scene, define multiple rule, when being set with condition and not carrying out next rule and end process after carrying out, can according to condition separately action process.
Such as, using different keywords as condition, different condition prints to action by different printer, prints flow process plug-in unit 31 and such as can give different print object according to the record in document.For another example, time and week also can mix by condition.Now can operate according to the priority of rule, during operation, with printer Y for print object, and during inoperative, such as, distribute print object according to the record in document.
Like this, when distributing print object according to condition, pre-defined printing action and message informing action, just can after the implementation terminating printing action, and display represents the message box of print object, and print object is notified user.
When distributing print object according to condition, pre-defined printing action and message informing action, before printing action is carried out, can also accept the selection of print object from the message box shown in Figure 18.
Therefore, message informing plug-in unit 32, before printing action is carried out, can obtain answer content from user, will reply context notification and print flow process plug-in unit 31.Print flow process plug-in unit 31 and according to the answer content from user, the next action needing to carry out can be determined among multiple printing action.
Above-mentioned client terminal of the present embodiment 16 by the action of message informing as rule being set, thus shows message box 1140 as shown in figure 18 on client terminal 16.Therefore, the object output distributed according to condition can be informed to user by client terminal 16, or accepts the object output of user's selection.
Such as, client terminal 16 from the message box 1140 shown in Figure 18, can accept the instruction that user agrees the instruction of " printing with above-mentioned printer " of object output or " the selection object output " of change object output.Client terminal 16, after receiving user and agreeing the instruction of " printing with above-mentioned printer " of object output, requires that this object output prints.And if client terminal 16 is after receiving user and changing the instruction of " selection object output " of object output, according to user's instruction, changes object output, then print.
As mentioned above, the print system 1 of present embodiment according to the condition of definition and action, can utilize the action of message informing, by the object output through changing and output content at least one of them informs user, allow user confirm or revise.
But the present invention is not subject to the restriction of above-mentioned concrete disclosed execution mode, only otherwise depart from right, allow to carry out various change to this execution mode.Such as print system 1 can also possess other devices such as certificate server or printing server.
