It is transmitted to the support server 2 (step S31). When the transmission control unit 25 of the manufacturing support server 2 receives the name, address, and credit information of the customer (step S32), the CPU 21 associates the information with the purchase information as customer information and stores the customer information in the customer information area 22d of the memory 22. And it is stored in a predetermined storage area in the marking content table area 22x (step S33).
[0090]
Next, the CPU 21 creates case print data for laser marking the electronic dictionary case among the electronic dictionary hardware (step S34).
Here, the process of creating case print data will be described using a specific example with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. 15 and 16. The CPU 21 reads the name from the marking content table 22 x stored in the memory 22 as shown in FIG. The input color / name print data 53 is read (step S51). In addition, the marking content table 5 associates the marking attached to the key K of the real electronic dictionary D with the function of the key attached with the marking. In addition, four types of name colors (gold, silver, red, and blue) are set in the name color / name print data 53, and are designated No. (1) to gold, silver, red, and blue in this order. (4) is attached. In addition, a character pattern (name insertion data) is set for one of the name insertion colors. For example, a customer name “Yama Yoko” is set for (3) red. That is, when the electronic dictionary case is marked, “Yama Yoko” is marked with red characters.
[0091]
Next, the CPU 21 initializes the designated number (sets it to (1)) (step S52), and reads out the character pattern of the designated number (step S53). Next, as shown in FIG. 18, the CPU 21 obtains the XY coordinates corresponding to the designated No. character pattern from the marking position table 22y in which the XY coordinates on the display unit 14 displayed on the communication device 1 are stored. A character pattern is attached to a position corresponding to the read and displayed electronic device image, and the character pattern is colored (step S54). Note that the marking position table 22y is a table in which the XY coordinates of the key K to be marked are determined.
Next, the CPU 21 determines whether or not the designated number has become (4) (step S55). If the CPU 21 determines that the designated number has become (4) (step S55; YES), the CPU 21 terminates the name entry and reads the case print data 52 of the marking provided around the key K (step S57). When determining that the designated number is not (4) (step S55; NO), the CPU 21 designates the next designated number (step S56), and returns to step S53.
[0092]
In the case print data 52, electronic dictionary data and special characters and symbols that function after the alphabet key shift are set, and in the designated No. L1-1, "German-Japanese dictionary" and function color "red" are set. . In addition, “?”, Character color “blue”, and the like are set in the designated No. L2-8. Here, "red" is set for a key indicating a function, and "blue" is set for a key indicating a character.
[0093]
Next, the CPU 21 initializes (sets to L1-1) the designated No. (step S57), and reads out the character pattern of the designated No. (step S59). Next, as shown in FIG. 18, the CPU 21 reads the XY coordinates corresponding to the designated No. character pattern from the marking position table 22y in which the XY coordinates are stored, and displays the XY coordinates on the displayed electronic device image screen. A character pattern is attached to the corresponding position, and the character pattern is decorated. Next, the CPU 21 reads out whether the character pattern of each designated No is a function key or a character key (step S60). Next, the CPU 21 determines whether or not the read character pattern is a character (step S61). If the character pattern is a character key (step S61; YES), the CPU 21 specifies XY coordinates of the character key in the marking position table 22y (step S62), and the character pattern is a function key. If (step S61; NO), the CPU 21 specifies the XY coordinates of the function key of the marking position table 22y (step S63).
[0094]
Next, the CPU 21 determines from the marking position table 22y in which the XY coordinates on the screen displayed on the communication device 1 are stored, the XY designated for the character or function corresponding to the designated No. character pattern. The coordinates are read, a character pattern is attached to the corresponding position of the displayed electronic device image, and the character pattern is decorated (step S64). Next, the CPU 21 determines whether or not the designated number has become L3-10 (step S65). If the CPU 21 determines that the designated number has become L3-10 (step S65; YES), it converts the laser marking image into print data for printing (step S67). When determining that the designated number is not L3-10 (step S65; NO), the CPU 21 designates the next designated number (step S66), and returns to step S59.
[0095]
Next, the CPU 21 creates key print data for laser marking electronic dictionary keys among electronic dictionary hardware (step S35).
Here, the process of creating case print data will be described using a specific example with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 19. The CPU 21 reads the key print data 51 from the marking content table 22x stored in the memory 22 as shown in FIG. Is read (step S81).
[0096]
Next, the CPU 21 initializes (sets to (1)) the designated No. (step S82), and reads out the character pattern of the dictionary name of the designated No. (step S83). Next, as shown in FIG. 18, the CPU 21 reads the XY coordinates corresponding to the designated No. character pattern from the marking position table 22y in which the XY coordinates are stored, and stores the read XY coordinates in the corresponding position of the displayed electronic device image. A character pattern is attached, and the character pattern is decorated (step S84). Next, the CPU 21 determines whether or not the designated number has become (10) (step S85). If the CPU 21 determines that the designated number has become (10) (step S85; YES), it performs a key input processing table creation process (step S36). When determining that the designated number is not (10) (step S85; NO), the CPU 21 designates the next designated number (step S86), and returns to step S83.
[0097]
In the key print data 51, seven types of electronic dictionary data are set, and “Re-Daders”, “New Global * Bal”, “Fuwa”, “Hiro * En”, “Patent”, “Kan * Gen”, and “Proverbs” Are designated No. (1) to (10). The designation Nos. (8) to (10) are redundant keys and are not printed.
[0098]
Next, a process of creating a key input process table and a process of creating a write data list table will be described with reference to FIG.
The CPU 21 creates a key input processing table based on the data of the marking content table 22x and the marking position table 22y, and stores these data in the product information area 22e of the memory 22. At this time, the designated Nos. (1) to (10) and the XY coordinates of the dictionary name data are stored in association with each other.
