Definitions

  • the invention relates on the one hand to an order system for printed products, by means of which a printed product can be ordered in a selection module of the order system and ordered from a supplier of the printed products, wherein printed products of the same product type each consist of product parts of the same product part types and wherein each product part by exactly one combination of each one Value for parameters such as page size, page number, color, paper type, binding type, processing and finishing, and a method for ordering a printed product by means of an order system, wherein the ordering system to parameters such as page size, page number, color, paper, type of binding, processing and Refinement of a product part of the printed product is determined in each case a list of selectable values and wherein after determining one value for each of the parameters by a purchaser, the ordering system orders the printed product based on the determined values.
  • Ordering systems of the aforementioned type which realize, in particular, methods of the aforementioned type are generally known and are increasingly being used as a front end for ordering by buyers of printed products.
  • Large graphic production companies as providers of individual print products advertise, for example, with the statement that they offer the purchaser several hundred thousand different print products to choose from via their respective ordering system and offer online determination of the final price.
  • Each printed product consists of one or more product parts.
  • Each product part has specific values for parameters such as page format, page number, color, type of paper, type of binding, processing and finishing.
  • the product parts are usually categorized by product part types with descriptive labels such as "envelope”, “content”, “postcard”, “poster”.
  • BESTATIGUNGSKOPIE Known ordering systems use database structures to manage the print products offered by each provider, which assign a product number to each individual print product in a data record and, if appropriate for each individual product part, calculate its specific values of the parameters and a corresponding formula using a corresponding formula Show price. For example, whenever changing the technical possibilities of the graphical production operation or when changing the calculation for a parameter, this data structure requires the maintenance of each individual data record.
  • the maintenance of data for the known ordering systems represents such a high outlay that ultimately the complete automation of orders via these ordering systems becomes uneconomic.
  • the known ordering systems therefore often only completely cover parts of the actually possible offer and, moreover, point out that further options would be offered on request.
  • the invention has for its object to simplify the data management of the ordering system for printed products.
  • each individually possible value of each of the parameters is defined as an article in an article database of the ordering system and that a print product can be determined in the selection module by successive selection of the articles.
  • the printed product selected for ordering is not defined until the order is made by the choice of its values.
  • An article database in which the respective values of the parameters and the price are specified for each printed product is therefore dispensable, thus reducing the number of databases to be managed by several orders of magnitude compared with the known ordering systems.
  • At least one cost factor is stored for each parameter in the article database of an order system according to the invention and a price of the printed product can be determined by means of a calculation module of the order system for a printed product on the basis of the values and cost factors of the parameters of the printed product.
  • a cost factor is a factor that influences the cost of the printed product (in combination with other cost factors).
  • a cost factor of the parameter "page number” corresponds to the number of pages
  • a cost factor of the parameter "page size” to the area of the format
  • a cost factor of the parameter "paper” to its area cost component
  • the ordering system according to the invention then also offers the possibility of determining the price for a purchaser of a printed product without this - as in the known ordering systems - having to be managed for each individual printed product.
  • a list of the assigned product part types is preferably stored in the article database for each product type and in the selection module for determining a printed product, first a product type of the printed product can be selected.
  • the selection of a printed product type allows a very clear rough limitation of the values of the parameters selectable in the further course for the determination of the printed product and makes it easier for the purchaser to operate the ordering system according to the invention.
  • the order of a non-pre-typed printed product case by definition of one or more (also untyped) product parts by selecting each not previously restricted values of all technically possible parameters conceivable.
  • a list of impossible pairings of the articles is advantageously stored in the article database of an ordering system according to the invention and the selection of the articles which can be selected is restricted on the basis of this list in the selection module after selection of an article.
  • impossible combinations of values of different parameters for example a cross-fold for a postcard from a heavy carton in DIN A6 format
  • impossible pairings of values of the parameters of different product parts for example a rolled-up poster as depositor of a magazine
  • the order system determines the values which can be selected for the product part from an article database in which each individually possible value of each of the parameters is defined as an article.
  • the ordering system selects a product part type of the product part from a list of product part types associated with the product type and the product part parameter to be determined based on the product part type.
  • the ordering system limits the lists of selectable values based on a list of impossible pairings of the articles.
  • a large printing company makes its offer of over 250,000 different individual print products available to all buyers of printed products in an order system that is freely accessible via the Internet.
  • the technical possibilities of large-scale printing include offset and digital printing in formats from 85 x 54 mm for business cards to large format prints of 100 x 220 cm on about twenty different types of paper with lamination, coating or adhesive coating or as a write-through set, wire or thread-stitched, ring or glued-bound, in fan-fold or roll-fold or rolled up in standard or express production and / or delivery.
  • the purchaser first selects one of a standardized selection of only eleven standardized product types at his PC workstation via the selection module opened in a standard browser, namely the product type "postcard”, “label”, which respectively consists of a single sheet.
  • product type "postcard”, "label”, which respectively consists of a single sheet.
  • the multi-product product types "block”, “write-through”, “wallet”, “adhesive-bound”, “Wire-stitched” and "ring bound booklet”.
  • the ordering system supports the selection from a keyword list or a free text entry of a product type. For example, entering the product type "ID card” will automatically change to the standardized product type "business card” with restriction of the paper types to heavy board and additional varnishing or lamination and when entering the product type "CD marking" to the standardized product type "folder” containing the product parts " Outer carton “for the cover and a loosely inserted” thread-stitched brochure "with” envelope “and” content "in the special format” CD case “and optionally with a round die-cut, self-adhesive” label "as insert branched.
  • a list of the assigned product part types is stored in the article database of the order system stored in an XML file.
  • a “brochure” regardless of the type of binding of a product part "envelope” and a product part “content” and optionally one or more adhered to a defined location or loose inlaid, each consisting of a single sheet “depositors”.
  • Each "depositor” can be pre-assigned in the selection module by selection of one of the single-sheet product types with specific properties, or alternatively freely defined.
  • the article database also defines the individually possible values of the parameters "format”, "page number”, “color”, “paper”, “bookbinding” and “processing” as “article.”
  • the product part type “Content "a bound booklet for the format the values” A4 “to” A6 “each high and transverse and” DIN long “and” DIN long transversal ", for the page numbers values from 100 to 120 in four steps, for the color” 1/1 “or” 4/4 ", for the paper” 80 g offset "or” 115 g “or” 150 g imprint “respectively matt or glossy, for bookbinding the value” cross break ", for processing either no value or” perforating "and no Value for finishing defined as “article”.
  • at least one cost factor is also defined in the database.
  • the article database also defines impossible pairings of articles as exemplarily shown in the following table for the product part "folded flyer" (as the sole product part of the printed article of the same name): pflyef. A [4-6] pf lyef. (1 [0 - 8]) P pflyef. (6
  • the ordering system for these pre-defined runs will use the values and cost factors of the selected items to calculate the respective portions of the costs and, as a sum, the cost of the printed product, and present the corresponding prices to the purchaser in the selection module in ascending order the buyer can define a freely selected edition in an input field of the selection module, which then sorts the order system in the list of conditions shown for comparison and represents the purchaser in the selection module.
  • the ordering system After selecting a run, the ordering system presents the purchaser in the selection module with a short summary of the selected items - from the purchaser's point of view, properties of the selected "print product" - with further options. In particular, various options for proof, shipping, and the form of Print data offered.
  • the order system After entering the identification of the purchaser, the order system confirms the receipt of the order to the purchaser on a separate screen page as well as by e-mail and transmits the order to the large print shop.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne, d'une part un système de commande de produit d'impression, au moyen duquel on peut, non seulement définir le produit d'impression dans un module de sélection du système de commande, mais aussi commander le produit d'impression auprès d'un fournisseur. Les produits d'impression d'un même type de produit sont constitués chacun des mêmes types de composant du produit, chaque composant du produit étant exactement défini par une combinaison de valeurs de paramétrage telles que le format de page, le nombre de pages, la coloration, le type de papier, le type de reliure, le façonnage et la finition. L'invention concerne d'autre part un procédé de commande de produit d'impression au moyen d'un système de commande qui propose une liste de valeurs à sélectionner pour des paramètres tels que le format de page, le nombre de pages, la coloration, le type de papier, le type de reliure, le façonnage et la finition, et qui, après définition de chacune des valeurs de paramètres par l'acheteur, commande le produit d'impression au vu des valeurs définies. Pour simplifier la gestion des données du système de commande de produits d'impression, l'invention propose, d'une part de définir sous forme d'article, dans une banque de données d'articles du système de commande, chacune des valeurs possibles de chaque paramètre, et de pouvoir déterminer dans le module de sélection un produit d'impression par sélections successives dans les articles. L'invention propose d'autre part que le système de commande communique les valeurs sélectionnables pour les composants du produit à partir d'une banque de données d'articles dans laquelle chacune des valeurs possibles des paramètres sont définies sous forme d'articles.
