Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a knitting device for knitting printed matter.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art When creating a block copy for printing, it is necessary to consider the size of each article and combine them to prevent a blank space. This eliminates waste,
And it is a work to be done to improve the appearance. In this way, the work of combining each article to create a block copy is called organization work.

Even for periodicals, the size of each article and the number of articles are different each time. Therefore, a great deal of labor is required for the knitting work. Particularly in organizing a magazine for advertising a store, the number of advertisements fluctuates greatly even if the content of the advertisement does not change significantly, so the organization work is difficult.

Further, in normal printing, four pages are printed with one block. Therefore, unlike a single publication such as a leaflet, when making a block for a printed matter composed of a plurality of pages, the total number of pages needs to be a multiple of four.

The organization information before being printed is as follows:
Depending on the content, it may be necessary to keep it secret. For example, in the case of scoop articles, if the information leaks out before publication, its value will be lost. Further, in the case of special sale information in an advertisement magazine, if the information flows, competitors will follow it, so that it cannot be differentiated from other companies. Therefore, when the composition information for the composition is created after composition, the organization brings the test print of the composition to the requester and has the contents checked directly. Therefore, much labor and time are required for such confirmation work.

[0006]

Therefore, the present invention is
The following two points are the main solutions. Problem 1: To simplify the work of knitting a printed matter consisting of a plurality of pages Problem 2: To make it possible to easily and quickly check the composition.

A keyboard, a mouse, and a touch panel correspond to specific devices that constitute the input unit 22. Reference numeral 23 is an output means for displaying the signal sent from the control means 21 to the organizer (user, operator). A CRT, a liquid crystal screen, a plasma display or the like corresponds to a specific device that constitutes the output means 23. Reference numerals 24 and 25 are storage means for storing the following programs and files, respectively. It should be noted that each of these means does not have to be arranged in a physically integrated device, but may be connected in a form capable of transmitting and receiving information through various lines such as a dedicated line such as LAN or WAN and a telephone line. .

(Storage Means 24) The storage means 24 stores a "program file". The program of this file is executed by the control means 21. The programs to be stored include not only general programs for exerting computer functions, but also a program for extracting advertisement information based on specified area information (advertisement related information) (advertisement information extraction means) and various frames. Program to be selected (frame selection means) -Program for arranging advertisement information of the same size in each small frame in the selected frame (advertisement information arranging means) -Same agency information when arranging the advertisement information A program for appropriately selecting the advertisement information so that the advertisement information having the same is not continuous (advertisement information selecting means) -A program for arranging the small frame embedded information having a matching size in a blank small frame (the small frame embedded information arrangement means) ) ・ A program that changes the order in which frames are organized to improve the appearance (page allocation means) ・ Number of all pages ( A program for calculating the total number of pages (total page number calculating means) -A program for arranging the page frames so that the total number of pages becomes a multiple of 4 (a multiple of the number of composition pages) (page frame filling arrangement means) Is. The processing of these programs will be described in each embodiment.

(Storage Means 25) The storage means 25 is a storage means as a database, which is an "advertisement information file",
Each storage unit is provided for storing the “small frame embedded information file” and the “frame information file”. (For example, the storage unit for the advertisement information file is the advertisement information storage unit.) Further, the storage unit for storing the organization information file stores the advertisement number in association with the frame number and each small frame number of the frame. (1) Advertisement information file The advertisement information table stored in the advertisement information file is shown in FIG.
Shown in. As shown in the figure, each field of this table includes an advertisement number, area information, advertisement information that defines the content of the advertisement, advertisement size that identifies the advertisement size, and client information that identifies the client. , Various kinds of information are associated with one record and stored. The ad number is
"A1, A2, A3 ..." is displayed with the symbol "A" added to its head.

Area information (advertisement related information) Area information is information used to determine the area (region) of the store, and in FIG. 2 “Shibuya, Shinjuku, Ginza”
Etc. are remembered. In addition, the area information only needs to be able to specify the area, and may be numbers, alphabets, various symbols, or a combination thereof. Note that the embodiment may store information other than the area information as the advertisement-related information.

Advertising Information Advertising information refers to information that introduces a store. This information format may be a combination of text data and image data. As the contents of the information,
In addition to the store name, store tag, store map, service content, etc., the posted advertisement information may be used as a coupon.

Advertisement size The advertisement size does not define the size of the data in the advertisement information, but the area when the advertisement information is arranged in the frame, and the shape thereof. As the advertisement size, several sizes are prepared in advance, and the advertisement information is set to fit in any of the sizes. Specifically, when the layout of a frame to be described later is determined, this advertisement size is determined by the size of each small frame of the layout.

The kind of size to be prepared may be arbitrarily determined. However, if too many sizes are prepared, the combination of advertisement information will be enormous, and the organization work cannot be facilitated. Therefore, in this embodiment, there are four types of 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, and 1/1 for one page.

The size information is 1/16
The size may be smaller, such as, or the size may span multiple pages, such as 2/1. It can be said that the range of 3 to 16 is appropriate as the advertisement size in the present invention, and the range of 4 to 8 is desirable.

Client information The client information is information that identifies the person who has requested this advertisement, and its contents include advertiser information that identifies the advertiser who makes the advertisement, and job information received from the advertiser. It contains information about agents that act for advertising. Then, as its contents, ID information for identifying the advertiser and the agency and a password for confirming the identity thereof are stored. These pieces of information are used by the client information specifying means in the organization system shown in FIG. 7 in addition to the advertisement information selecting means. It should be noted that if the embodiment does not extract the advertisement information based on the area information or arrange the advertisement information based on the agency information, it is not necessary to store the area information and the client information.

(2) Frame information file The frame information file stores each predetermined frame. The types of various frames stored are shown in FIG. In the figure, frame numbers 1 to 6 are provided, and a frame in which a different layout is set for each number is used. Each block that divides the frame is a small frame, and the number attached to each small frame is the small frame number. A brief description of each frame and its subframes will be given below. No1: The frame is not divided, and the size of the advertisement information arranged in this frame is 1/1. No2: The small frame numbers 1 and 2 have a size of 1/8, the small frame number 3 has a size of 1/4, the small frame number 4 has a size of 1/2, and a total of 4 frames are included.

In the present invention, the small frames having the same size have the same shape as the small frames having the same size in other frames. For example, in the case of a small frame having a size of 1/8, the shape of the small frame is common to all frames, and
If the advertisement information has a size of / 8, which frame is 1 /
It can also be placed in 8 small frames.

The form of page division in this frame is arbitrary, and may be a form having a smaller small frame such as 1/32, or may be a vertically long small frame even if the size is the same fraction. Alternatively, it may be a frame in which a horizontally long small frame is arranged. In that case, the size of the frame is 0 / o vertically and 0 / o horizontally, and the small frames of both sizes are distinguished and grasped.

(3) Frame Fill Information File The frame fill information file stores small frame fill information and page frame fill information. The small frame embedded information is information whose size is smaller than 1/1. The size of the small frame filling information is set to the small frame filling size. This small frame embedded size is the same as the advertisement size,
It matches the size of any small frame in the frame.

The page frame filling information is 1/1 in size.
As described above, the size increases in page units of 2/1 and 3/1. The size of this page frame filling information is referred to as the page frame filling size.

Although the two pieces of frame filling information have different sizes, they are used in common and are therefore stored in the frame filling information file. In the storage means of the present invention, when the small frame embedded information is read, the small frame embedded information storage means is used, and when the page frame embedded information is read, the page frame embedded information storage means is used.

FIG. 4 shows a frame filling information table in which small frame filling information and page frame filling information are stored. As shown in the figure,
The frame filling information table has fields of a frame filling number, a frame filling size, and frame filling information, which are stored in association with each other.
There is no limit to the content of this frame-filled information, and it is sufficient to set it arbitrarily. In the figure, the frame filling numbers K1 and K2 are small frame filling information,
In addition to introducing trendy CDs and accessories, it also has a "proverb dictionary" entitled "Everything Ranking".

The small frame filling information is used to fill the blank small frame after all the advertisement information is arranged in the frame. In that case, it is not desirable to use the same small frame embedded information in one magazine many times. Therefore, it is desirable that the small frame embedding information is associated with various sizes defined for the frame, and a plurality of small frame embedding information is stored for each small frame.

The frame-filling number K3 is a page frame-filling with a frame-filling size of 2/1, and stores "special feature, popular store experience report" as the frame-filling information. This page frame filling is used to make the total number of pages a multiple of the number of composition pages. For example,
If the number of composition pages is 4, the number of missing pages is 1
~ Any of the three pages. Therefore, in that case, 1
~ Prepare to fill the page frame to fill 3 pages.

(4) Organization information file The organization information table stored in the organization information file is shown in FIG.
Shown in. The organization information table stores which advertisement information is arranged in which small frame of which frame among the frames shown in FIG. This organization information table stores organization numbers, frame numbers, and advertisement numbers or frame-embedded numbers arranged in correspondence with the small frame numbers of each frame.

When the organization work is performed based on the area information, the area information based on which the advertisement information is extracted is also stored. Area information of the organization information shown in FIG. 5 is the Ginza area.

In the figure, the organization number 2 defines that the frame is No2, the advertisement information A4 is arranged in the small frame number w1, and the advertisement information A5 is arranged in the small frame number w2. The advertisement number to be arranged in each small frame is described in frame No. 2 in FIG. 3 (the small frame information w3 is the advertisement information A2,
Advertising information A8 is arranged in each small frame information w4). In this way, various advertisement information is arranged in the small frame of one frame, and the work of organizing one frame is completed.

Further, the small frame number w3 of the page number 100,
As w4 shows, all the advertising information with the same size has been placed, and the small frame that is blank indicates that (×)
Memorize When the small frame filling information is arranged in the blank small frame, the small frame filling information indicating which small frame filling information is arranged is stored. In the figure, the small frame embedded information K1 is assigned to the small frame number w3.
The small frame embedded information K4 is arranged in the small frame number w4.

Further, when the page of each frame is determined by the page allocating means, the organization number is rewritten and the organization number after rewriting is stored. After the organization is completed, this organization number becomes the page number.

2. Knitting work The knitting work of the block copy will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. In the large flow, first, knitting work is performed for each area. When the knitting work for all areas is completed, the knitting work for the entire area is performed thereafter.

(S1) First, the knitting person specifies Ginza as an area for knitting. To specify the area, click each area name displayed on the screen with the mouse. Information regarding this specified area is sent to the control means 21. When specifying the advertisement-related information, this step 1 (S1) is a step of specifying the advertisement-related information.

(S2) The control means 21 executes the advertisement information extraction means and retrieves all the advertisement information corresponding to Ginza from the advertisement information file in the storage means 25 using "area information: Ginza" as a search key. ,Extract. The extracted advertisement information is advertisement information of all sizes in which the area information is Ginza.

(S3) The control means 21 executes the frame selection means, reads the frame stored in the frame information file, and temporarily stores it. The order of reading the frame information is according to the frame No. First, the frame No. 1 is read. From the viewpoint of high-speed processing, all the frames may be read at once and stored in the control unit 21.

(S4) The control means 21 executes the advertisement information placement means and fits (places) the extracted advertisement information into each small frame of the read frame. The already inserted advertisement information is attached with a flag indicating that it has been placed so that it will not be placed again. In the case of frame 1, one piece of advertisement information having a size of 1/1 is arranged. Then, the control means 21 stores in the organization information table that the advertisement information of the advertisement number A3 is arranged in the small frame number w1 of the frame 1.

(S5) The control means 21 determines whether or not the placement of all advertisement information corresponding to the Ginza area has been completed. If the area information is Ginza and there is even one piece of advertisement information that has not been assigned a flag, the process proceeds to step 3. When all the advertisement information is flagged, the process proceeds to step 6.

When the arrangement is not completed (S3), the control means 21 executes the frame selection means to read the next frame of the type (frame No2) from the frame information file.

(S4) The control means 21 executes the advertisement information arrangement means. For frame No2, the size is 1 /
Two pieces of advertising information and one quarter of advertising information, 1/8 the size
Two pieces of frame advertisement information are arranged. Further, the control means 21 is
Which advertisement information is arranged in which small frame of frame No. 2 is stored in the organization information table in association with each other. Specifically, the small frame number w1 and the small frame number w2 of the frame No2
The advertisement information (A4, A5) having a size of 1/8 is placed in. And the advertisement size is 1/4 in the small frame number w3.
Advertisement number A2, and the small size number w4 has an advertisement size of 1 /
The advertisement number A8 of 2 is arranged. The small frame number and the advertisement number are associated and stored in the organization information table.

When the placement of the advertisement information is repeated and the remaining advertisement information is reduced, only one size of advertisement information is lost, and a large amount of other size advertisement information remains. In this case, the small frame with no corresponding advertisement information is left blank, and the small frames of other sizes are filled. Then, in the knitting information table, a blank mark (x) is attached to the blank small frame portion.

When there is no advertisement information matching the size in all the small frames of the read frame (when all the small frames are blank small frames), this page needs to be filled with the small frame embedded information. Absent. Therefore, in this case, the information is not stored in the composition information table. For example, if the advertisement information of 1/1 size is lost in frame 1, and the advertisement information of 1/8 remains in frame 6, but the advertisement information of 1/4 or 1/2 size remains. This is the case when it is lost.

When the advertisement information requested by the same agency is arranged consecutively, the advertisement requested by a certain agency is posted on the front page in the area, and the advertisements from other agents are displayed on the back page. Will be published in. This does not allow equality among agents. Therefore, in order to prevent the advertisement information of a specific agency from being concentrated, the knitting apparatus according to the present invention may have means (advertisement information selection means) that does not keep advertisement information from the same agency continuous. desirable.

When this means is executed, the control means 21
After arranging one piece of advertisement information, reads out and stores the agency name in the advertisement information from the advertisement information table.
Then, when the advertisement information is arranged in the next small frame, the agent information is also read when the advertisement information is read. Then, if the agency names are the same, the reading of the advertisement information is stopped and the advertisement information stored in the lower order is read (selection of advertisement information: S4). By this means, it is possible to avoid a situation in which requests from one agency are posted in a concentrated manner, and it is possible to achieve a balance among the agencies.

When the arrangement is completed (S6) The control means 21 checks whether or not there is a blank small frame in all the frames in which the arrangement of the advertisement information is completed in the organization information table (in the case of the blank small frame). Existence check). Step 7 if there is a blank small frame
Move to. When there is no blank small frame, the process proceeds to step 8.

When there is a blank small frame (S7) The control means 21 executes the small frame embedded information arranging means. In this means, first, a knitting information table is searched to find in which knitting number record a blank small frame (x) exists and the size of the blank small frame from the frame number. Then, the small frame filling information corresponding to the size of the searched blank small frame is extracted from the frame filling information storage file and placed in the blank small frame.

As a form of extracting the small frame embedded information, the small frame embedded information table shown in FIG. 4 is searched from the upper side to the lower side of the table with the small frame embedded size as a key, and if a corresponding one is found, Extract in order. In this example,
For the small frame number w3 of the composition number 100, the frame filling number: K
Extract 1 and place it. Further, for the small frame number w4, the frame embedded number: K4 is extracted and arranged. Then, the information is stored in the organization information table.

The small frame embedded information once extracted is deleted from the small frame embedded information table. In addition, as a method of utilizing the extracted small frame embedded information, it is moved to the bottom of the table. For example, a flag that is valid only for a certain period may be added so that it is not extracted for a certain period.

When there is no blank small frame, and when the arrangement of small frame embedded information is completed. (S8) The control means 21 executes page allocation means. With this means, the arrangement of each record in the organization information table is appropriately changed so that frames of the same type do not continue.

The page allocating means can be implemented based on various techniques for appropriately distributing the data array. One method will be described below. In the explanation, the information stored in the organization information table will be simplified as follows. Frame number Number of frames Frame No1 1 Frame No2 2 Frame No3 3 Total number of frames 6 First, the frame number with the highest frame number is 1
Since there is only one, 6 (total number of frames) / 1 (number of frames 1) = 6 The frame No. 1 is the sixth page. Next, there are two frame numbers No2. Therefore, the first frame No. 2 is 6 (total number of frames) ÷
2 (number of frames 2) = 3 The first page of frame No2 is the third page. Since the first page has been decided, the number of frame No2 is reduced by one to one. The second page of frame No. 2 is determined. 6 (total number of frames) / 1 (number of frames 2) = 6 However, the frame No. 1 has already been determined for the sixth page. So, one page up, frame No. 2 2
The fifth page is the fifth page. The number of frame No. 3 is three, so frame N
The first page of o3 is 6 (total number of frames) / 3 (the number of frames 3) = 2. Therefore, the first page of frame No. 3 is the second page. The second of frame No3 is 6 (total number of frames) / 2
(Number of frames 3: decrease by 1) = 3. However, since page 3 and page 2 have already been decided, they are set to page 1. The third of frame No. 3 is: 6 (total number of frames) ÷ 1 (number of frame 3: reduce by 2) = 6. However, since pages 6 and 5 have already been decided, they are set to page 4.

The respective frames are organized by such a method. In the above method, the first page: the second frame No. 3, the second page: the first frame No. 3, the third page: the first frame No. 4, the fourth page: the third frame No. 5, Page: The second page of frame No2, sixth page: Frame No1. The control means 21 rewrites the composition number of each frame in the composition information file to the page number and stores it.

The page allocation means described above is (total number of frames) / (divided by the number of each frame), and 1
When the number of pages of one frame is determined, one frame is deleted from the number of frames. Then, (total number of frames) ÷
(Number of pages of frame after deletion) is performed to determine the next page. When the page numbers overlap, the page number is determined by moving up to the previous page.

At the time of selecting the frames, the knitting work is performed so that the same frames are not arranged. Therefore, if the frame selecting means is sufficient, the page allocating means is unnecessary. On the other hand, in the embodiment in which the frame selecting means is not provided, only the page allocating means may be provided.

(Summary of organization work based on area information)
According to the present invention, the advertisement information is arranged in one area, and when the blank is generated, the small frame embedded information is arranged in the small frame. Furthermore, frames are selected and pages are allocated so that the same frames do not continue. As a result, the work of organizing the advertisement information included in one area is completed.

(S9) The control means 21 determines whether or not the knitting work in all areas has been completed. When the knitting work in the other area is not completed, the process returns to step 1 and the knitting work in the other area is performed. The knitting information up to the page allocation is stored in a new knitting information table. When the knitting work for all areas is completed, the process proceeds to step 10.

(When Finished) (S10) The control means 21 reads the number of records stored from the knitting information table in all the areas where the knitting work is finished, and sums these to calculate the total number of pages (total page). Number calculation method). Specifically, in the case of Ginza: 100 pages, Shibuya: 80 pages, Ikebukuro: 130 pages, the total number of pages is 210 pages.

(S11) The printing machine prints four pages in one block. Therefore, the total number of pages in a magazine must be a multiple of four. Therefore, the control means 21 determines whether or not the total number of pages is a multiple of four. In the case of a multiple of 4, this organization information can be used as it is as information for creating a block copy. Therefore, the process proceeds to step 14 to end the knitting work. If not a multiple of 4, step 12
Proceed to. In step 12, the control unit 21 arranges the page frame filling information so that the total number of pages becomes a multiple of 4 (page frame filling arrangement unit). When the total number of pages is 210 pages, the multiple of 4 is 212 pages, so there is a shortage of 2 pages. Therefore, the control unit 21 newly arranges the page frame filling information for two pages and adjusts the total number of pages. The arranged page frame filling information is stored as the last record in the organization information table of any area.

The position where the page frame embedded information is arranged is arbitrary, and it is sufficient if the organizer decides in advance. As the placement position of the page frame embedded information, a form to be additionally provided on the last page,
For example, it may be added after the last advertisement information in each area.

In addition, when filling the insufficient number of pages of 2 pages or 3 pages, in addition to using the page frame filling information of the page frame filling size of 2 pages or 3 pages, the page frame filling information of the size of 1 page is used. A form may be added in which the number of missing pages is added to the final page of each area. Then, the total number of pages is adjusted to a multiple of 4 by using page frame filling, and the process proceeds to step 14 to end the knitting work.

The organizer can shift to the printing operation as it is by using the organization information file stored in the storage means as a block copy. If some correction is necessary, after step 12, a step of manually correcting the knitting information (S1)
3) may be provided. This organization information is electronic data, and it is also possible to transmit the information via a network (computer network). In particular, when the organization information is created in the HTML format, it is possible to advertise through the Internet without printing the organization information on a paper medium.

3. Client's check of block copy information (1. Overall configuration) This invention aims at simplifying the work of checking the block copy information by the client. Therefore, this issue 2
An embodiment for solving the above problem will be described below.

FIG. 7 shows a simplified form of this embodiment. In this embodiment, the knitting device and the client terminal are connected to each other via a network so that information can be transmitted and received. When the Internet is used as a network, there is an advantage that information can be transmitted and received even with a client terminal that does not have a dedicated line.

As shown in the figure, in this embodiment, the client terminal sends the ID information and the knitting apparatus sends back the client knitting information. It should be noted that the transmission destination of the client organization information may be arbitrarily determined by the client. Then, the client can display the received client organization information using the client terminal and confirm the contents. The requester includes not only the agency but also the advertiser who requests the advertisement from the agency, and all the persons who need to check the content of the advertisement before the publication.

(2. Knitting device) The configuration of the knitting device in this embodiment will be described. This knitting device has the configuration of the device described above. The program file further has the following configuration. -Means for judging authenticity of ID information (ID information judging means) -Means for identifying a client from ID information and creating composition information for the client (client composition information creating means) Means for transmitting the created client organization information to the client via the network (transmitter of client organization information) Further, the storage section stores the client information. In this embodiment, the client information stored in the advertisement information file shown in FIG. 2 is utilized. As described above, in this embodiment, the advertisement information storage unit that stores the client information is used as the client information storage unit. Note that the embodiment of the invention may include a client information file that stores (ID information) and (the client thereof) in association with each other.

The ID information may be any information that can identify the requester. For example, when the client terminal has a unique IP address, the IP address is stored as ID information. Further, it may be a telephone number or an arbitrary array of randomly arranged numbers and symbols. From the viewpoint of improving security, it is desirable to store the password together. In this embodiment, the agency name and the password are stored in association with each other. If the advertiser does not perform the check, it is not necessary to store the advertiser information.

In addition, in the case of transmitting and receiving information using the Internet, it is assumed to have a function as a www server or an FTP server for transmitting and receiving information via the Internet. When contacting the requester by e-mail, it has a function as a mail server.

(Requester Terminal) As the requester terminal, various devices capable of transmitting and receiving information via the network can be used. Specifically, it is a personal computer having an input unit, an output unit, a storage unit, and a control unit. In addition, it may be a portable device such as a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant).

(Requester's Check) The operation of the requester to check the advertisement content will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. Note that the following description will be made on the assumption that the Internet is used as the network.

Send the eb screen.

(S31) The client terminal which has received the web screen displays the screen by the browser function. Then, the user inputs the identification number as his own ID information and the password, and sends it to the knitting apparatus. Furthermore, the instruction information requesting the transmission of the advertisement content check screen (requester organization information) requested by the user is also sent.

(S32) In the knitting device which has received the identification number (ID information) and the password, the control means 21 searches the advertisement information file in the storage means 25, and the same identification number is registered in the requester information field. To determine if. If registered, the control means 21 determines whether the passwords are the same. If they are the same, it is determined that the client is an authorized client and the process proceeds to step 33. If the password is not correct, or if the identification number is not registered, the processing is terminated as an unauthorized requester.

In the case of a legitimate requester (S33) The control means 21 executes the requester's artwork screen creating means. The control means 21 identifies the requester from the received identification number and searches the stored advertisement information file using this identification number as a key. Then, all advertisement numbers and advertisement information having the same identification number are read. next,
The control means 21 searches the organization information file with the read advertisement number as a key, and extracts the organization number (page number), its frame number and small frame number.

Then, the control means 21 specifies the number of pages to be posted from the extracted organization number. Further, the position where the advertisement is placed is determined from the frame number and the small frame number, and the organization information for the requester is created by inserting the advertisement information into the position. Since this client organization information is to be transmitted via the Internet, it is created in HTML format and this file is stored in a specific area in the storage means.
Information that identifies the area is defined in URL format.

(S34) The control means 21 creates an electronic mail stating that the organization information for the client has been created and the URL of the file, and sends it to the client terminal. The e-mail address is stored in association with the ID information.

(S35) The requester who receives the e-mail accesses the requester composition information stored in the composition device by clicking the URL described in the e-mail (the requester composition information request).

(S36) The control means 21 of the knitting apparatus that has received the access sends the created client organization information to the client terminal.

(S37) The client terminal which has received the client organization information displays the client organization information on the display screen using the browser function.

FIG. 9 shows a screen displaying the organization information for the client when the client's advertisement number is 25. From the organization information table, the place where this advertisement number 25 is posted is
It is the position of organization number (page number) 8 pages, frame No. 6, and small frame number w3.

As shown in the figure, in the knitting information for the client, although the advertisement regarding the client who has accessed the knitting device is displayed, the parts from other clients (small frame numbers w1 and w).
2) is a blank state.

The organization information for the requester indicates the number of pages to be posted, the frame of the page to be posted, and the requested advertisement content. As a result, the client can easily perform the final check of the requested advertisement content.

If the contents are correct, click "OK" on the screen. The information is transmitted to the knitting device and stored in association with the advertisement number in the knitting information table (S36). If all the advertisement numbers in the organization information table store "OK", the organizer determines that the check has been completed and shifts to printing on a paper medium. Also,
This organization information may be disclosed on the web via the Internet.

When the client finds an error, he / she specifies the mistaken part in the correction content field and clicks on the correction request. In the figure, it is requested to change "tomato" to "cabbage" as the correction content. The knitting apparatus receives the request for correction and the content of the correction (S3).
6). The organizer corrects the advertisement information based on the content.

Further, the client prints the one displayed on the screen, writes the correction instruction directly on the printing paper, and sends it to the FA.
A form in which X is used to transmit to the organizer may be used. As a transmission form of the formation information for the requester from the formation device to the requester terminal, in addition to a form in which the formation information is attached to an electronic mail, an FTP function is used to directly transmit to the requester terminal that has been accessed. It may be in the form.
