FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a specific example of the business card management system of the present invention.
In the system of the present invention, the business card print data is received from the server 10 by operating the terminal device 11 and printed by the printer 12. For this purpose, a network 1 as shown in the figure is used. The server 10 is connected to the network 1. The network 1 is an arbitrary information communication network such as the Internet, an intranet (LAN, WAN), and a telephone network. It can be a wired network or a wireless network. A large number of terminal devices 11 and printers 12 are connected to the network 1. The terminal device 11 is a personal computer, a mobile computer, or any other terminal having an information processing function and a communication function. Further, an administrator terminal 13 is connected to the network 1. The terminal device 11 is used to make a business card print request. The server 10 has a function of receiving the print request and generating print data of the business card.
[0039]
The administrator terminal 13 is used for accepting business card print data edited and completed by the server 10 and checking the contents by the administrator. That is, in this system, print data approved by the administrator is used for business card printing. In addition to the system administrator, the administrator includes a decision authority holder such as a boss who makes a business card print request. Business card printing may be permitted when both the system administrator and the settlement authority holder approve, or business card printing may be permitted when either one is approved. When the settlement authority holder is the boss who makes the business card print request, the nearest terminal may be the terminal device 11. Therefore, the terminal device 11 may be a terminal operated by both the person who requests the printing of the business card and the holder of the decision authority. The terminal device 11 and the administrator terminal 13 may be located anywhere in the office, and need not be provided separately. The printer 12 is located at a convenient place to request printing on the terminal device 11. A printer dedicated to business card printing may be used, or a general color printer capable of setting business card printing paper may be used.
[0040]
The server 10 includes a storage device 20, an internal memory 30, a data extracting unit 5, an editing unit 6, a print data processing unit 7, and an approval processing unit 8. The storage device 20 stores data such as a print request screen 21, a personnel database 22, a foreign language translation database 23, a product advertisement database 24, business card design data 25, and print correction data 26. The internal memory 30 stores basic data 31, condition data 32, a selection data list 34, and the like generated by a computer program described later. Each of the data extracting means 5, the editing means 6, the print data processing means 7, and the approval processing means 8 comprises a computer program executed by a computer of the server 10.
[0041]
[Use data]
The data stored in the storage device 20 is prepared when the system is constructed.
The print request screen 21 is a screen operated when the terminal device 11 requests print data of a desired business card, and will be described later in detail with reference to FIG. The personnel database 22 is a database that organizes and supplements information necessary for personnel management, such as the affiliations and names of employees of the company. A dedicated card for business card creation may be prepared, but a database for personnel management that has been conventionally used in a company may be used as it is. The foreign language translation database 23 is information including foreign language translations such as a company name, an affiliation name, a post name, a name, an address, a telephone and a facsimile number, and the specification of a printing format, a font, and the like.
[0042]
The product advertisement database 24 is a collection of product advertisements that can be printed on business cards. Product advertisements can be in any form, from text-only to product photos. It also includes information such as fonts and colors used. The business card design data 25 is data such as a template, and for example, two or more types may be provided in accordance with the type of business. For example, information such as the type and size, color, and printing position of the character font of the company name or the address name is included. If a partial change is possible, information indicating the changeable range is included. If the logo can be placed, include information such as logo size and print position. Here, the product advertisement database 24 is illustrated, but a database storing image data such as various marks suitable for printing on a business card according to an instruction from a business card print request source may be prepared. The image data includes not only product images but also catch phrases using characters and decorative characters.
[0043]
The print correction data 26 is data for preventing a print color or the like from being distorted due to a difference between a printer used for printing and printing paper. It is transmitted to the print request source together with the print data. On the server side, a standard printer and printing paper are designated, and conditions such as the type and size and color of a character font that can be printed as specified and the printing position are set in advance. This is the standard setting. The print correction data 26 corrects the color designation information so that, for example, when the color of the font of the company name is designated as blue in the standard setting, and when the blue color of the ink of the printer to be used is slightly light, the color becomes dark blue. Content data.
[0044]
The data stored in the internal memory 30 of the server 10 is generated during execution of a process associated with a business card print request.
The basic data 31 is the minimum data necessary for creating a business card text. Includes company name, affiliation name, post name, name, address, telephone, facsimile number, etc., extracted from the personnel database and the like by the data extraction means 5. The condition data 32 is information necessary for selecting a business card design and determining an editable range. For example, it is information indicating role divisions and authorities such as employees, associate employees, managers, sales promotion staff, and foreign-related business staff. This is extracted by the data extracting means 5 from the personnel database. In the case of a temporary employee, the employee may input the information on the print request screen.
[0045]
The selection data list 34 is a list for selecting what to print on a business card when there are a plurality of job titles, offices, or telephone numbers. Items not included in this list cannot be printed on business cards. As a result, the printing range is limited, and creation of a non-standard business card is prevented. Further, for example, when the business of a company is diversified, the product advertisement is extracted from the product advertisement database so as to limit the types of the product advertisement that can be printed on the business card according to the type of the business in charge of the sales person. This facilitates the editing operation. The selection data list 34 is generated by the editing means with reference to the personnel database 22, the product advertisement database 24, and the condition data 32.
[0046]
[Computer program]
Each of the computer programs executed on the server 10 has the following functions.
The data extracting means 5 has a function of searching the personnel database 22 using the employee code input by the terminal device 11 as a key, and extracting the basic data 31 and the condition data 32. The editing means 6 has a function of selecting appropriate business card design data 25 with reference to the condition data 32, generating a business card text using the basic data 31, and displaying the same on a display. Further, when there is a business card editing request, the selection data list 34 is generated by referring to the condition data 32 and displayed on a print request screen using a drop-down list box or the like.
[0047]
The print data processing unit 7 has a function of converting the business card edited by the editing unit 6 into print data that can be printed by the printer 12. Further, it has a function of transferring the print data together with the print control data 26 to the terminal device 11 through the network 1 shown in FIG. The approval processing unit 8 has a function of executing a process of transferring the print data to the administrator terminal 13 or the decision making terminal 11 in advance before the print data processing unit 7 transfers the print data to the terminal device 11 and receiving the approval. Have. After transmitting the print data to the administrator terminal 13, when a notification of approval is received from the administrator terminal 13 or the authorizer terminal 11, the print data processing unit 7 is given permission to transmit the corresponding print data.
[0048]
[Print Request Screen]
FIGS. 2A and 2B are explanatory diagrams of a print request screen. FIG. 2A shows a screen in a print start state, and FIG. 2B shows a screen in an edit state.
These screens include, for example, web pages stored in a storage device of the server 10 and are transferred to and displayed on the terminal device by the http protocol (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol). As shown in (a) of the figure, a title such as business card printing is displayed in the title section 41 of the screen 40 in the printing start state. In the text box 42, the employee number of the requester is input. The drop-down list 43 is for the requester to select a printer used for business card printing. When the requester logs in, the server recognizes the terminal device used by the requester. On the server side, information on the business card printing printer nearest to each terminal device is registered. This is displayed in the drop-down list 43. When one of the printers is selected and the start button 44 is clicked, a screen 45 in an editing state is displayed.
[0049]
On the screen 45 in the editing state shown in FIG. 4B, a print image 46 of a business card, an edit button 47, an approval request button 48, and a print button 49 are provided. The data extracting means 5 shown in FIG. 1 searches the personnel database 22 using the employee number of the requester as a key, extracts the basic data 31 and the condition data 32, and uses the business card design data 25 to Is displayed. When the edit button 47 is clicked, an operation for changing the contents of the print image 46 is started.
[0050]
When each part of the print image of the business card is clicked during the editing operation, a drop-down list 51 pops up to select data of the corresponding part. When one of the lists is selected, the corresponding part can be changed. When the approval request button 48 is clicked, the approval processing means 8 operates, and an approval process for issuing a business card by the administrator is performed. When the approval processing is completed, the print button 49 becomes active. When the print button 49 is clicked, the print data is transmitted to the terminal device, the printer driver is activated, and business card printing by the designated printer becomes possible.
[0051]
[Basic data, selected data]
FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram illustrating a specific example of data for printing a business card.
As shown in (a) of the figure, the basic data 31 of the print requester is extracted from the personnel database 22, and at the same time, the print control data of each item is generated with reference to the business card design data 25. That is, information such as a company name and a font type and size for printing a name, an image size for printing a logo, a color of each character, and a printing position on a business card are acquired. Further, when an English sentence is displayed on the back side of the business card, an English translation such as a company name or an affiliation name is extracted as shown in FIG. 3B. This part is generated using the foreign language translation database 23.
[0052]
The right side of FIG. 3B is an example of the selection data list 34 generated by the editing unit 6. For example, if there are two or more business establishments, two or more job titles, or two or more phone numbers to be contacted, a plurality of selected data extracted from personnel data are listed. Is done. The print requester can freely select any of these data. When printing an advertisement, printable advertisement images and illustrations are included in the selection data. This selection data list 34 is displayed in a drop-down list 51 shown in FIG.
[0053]
[Print Correction Data]
FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram of the print correction data.
A business card of a company strictly defines not only the design and layout, but also the size and color of the logo and the font and color of the characters. Although all print data of the business card is created by the server, it is more convenient to perform printing by using a printer closest to the terminal that has requested printing. However, depending on the printer, the color tone is slightly different, and there are cases where the specified standard is not satisfied. Therefore, print correction data 26 as shown in FIG. In some cases, the print data need only be corrected for the corresponding printer. However, correction may not be possible unless the printer controls printing conditions unique to the printer directly. In this case, the present invention is particularly effective.
[0054]
The print correction data 26 shown in the figure includes the identification number of the terminal, the identification number of the printer nearest to the terminal, and, when printing is performed by the printer, the layout, font, and color are corrected to obtain a standard print output. Data to be included. For example, if the printer cannot print a standard font, it specifies to use a font with the closest shape. At this time, if it is necessary to change the layout on balance, the print correction data 26 includes information for layout correction. If the paper preset by the printer does not have a standard color tone, color correction data corresponding to the type of ink or the type of paper is prepared. If the business card includes only black and white characters, a black and white printer may be included. Also at this time, print correction data for correcting a design disorder due to a difference in font data can be used.
[0055]
The print correction data 26 is transmitted to the terminal device 11 together with the print data. In the terminal device 11, the printer driver starts, accepts the print data and the print correction data, and executes printing after correcting the print conditions. As a result, it is possible to print an optimized business card that satisfies the stipulated criteria and is optimized by any printer. For example, when optimization can be performed only by processing such as color correction of print data, it is sufficient to transmit the print data corrected on the server side to the terminal device. Further, since the difference between the standard printer and each printer is known from the beginning, print correction data may be stored in the printer that prints the business card from the beginning.
[0056]
Since the print data transferred to the terminal has already been approved, it is preferable that the data is not falsified except for the above-described correction. For this purpose, it is preferable that all information necessary for printing is generated on the server side. In order to prevent tampering, it is preferable to use a dedicated printer driver and provide a function of rejecting printing of tampered data.
[0057]
[Ad editing process]
When printing a business card including an advertisement for a product, the user selects one of the products by using a drop-down list 51 as shown in FIG. 2B. The selection data is generated with reference to the latest product advertisement database 24. This is suitable when a sales representative creates a business card with an advertisement for a product that the customer recommends to purchase before visiting the customer. In the case of a salesperson introducing a product at an exhibition of a new product, a business card with an advertisement for the new product is preferable. Unauthorized printing of business cards on unreleased products is not allowed, so a means is required to permit printing only to those who meet special conditions. The editing means 6 may make this determination with reference to the condition data 32. As a result of this step, unselected product advertisements are included in the selection data. As a result, for example, it is possible to prevent the advertisement of the product whose sale has been stopped from being erroneously printed. The same applies to the case where a map of a business office is printed in addition to the advertisement.
[0058]
[English editing process, etc.]
We want to make sure that not only the company name, but also the business unit name and department name, or the business unit address, etc., are written in English throughout the company so that there are no errors. In the above example, English notation is included in the personnel database 22. However, a dedicated database that collects notation methods of various foreign sentences as well as English sentences may be provided. Depending on the person to whom the business card is to be handed, a translated sentence such as Chinese French can be written together.
[Approval process]
In the above example, the items other than those that can be selected from the drop-down list cannot be included in the business card. In this case, since only items that allow selection from the beginning, the approval process may be omitted. Regardless of the content, if the approval process is performed when a new business card is issued, when the print data is sent to the approval terminal, the parts that have been changed from those in the standard format are distinguished by color coding etc. Information to be sent. Further, for example, a method may be employed in which a portion for inputting a free message is provided in a certain area on the back side of the business card, and only that portion is approved.
[0059]
[Generation of print request and print data]
FIG. 5 is a specific operation flowchart of the server 10 in the system of the present invention.
First, in step S1, when the user logs in with the terminal device 11, a screen 40 shown in FIG. 2A is displayed on the display of the terminal device 11. The data of the input employee code is received by the data extracting means 5, and the personnel database 22 is referred to in step S2. In step S3, basic data is obtained, and in step S4, condition data is obtained. Further, the standard business card design data 25 is selected in step S5, the business card is edited using the basic data and the condition data, and displayed on the terminal device 11.
[0060]
When the edit button 47 shown in FIG. 2B is clicked, the process proceeds from step S7 to step S8. The editing means 6 generates the selection data shown in FIG. In step S9, an editing process is performed by selecting the selected data. When the editing process is completed, the approval request button 48 shown in FIG. 2 is clicked, and the approval process is performed in step S10. After that, it enters the approval waiting state (step S11). When the approval is completed, in step S12, the print data processing unit acquires the corresponding print correction data 26 based on the data indicating the type of the printer acquired in step S1.
