The target concept TCO is searched by searching the customer information database CL_DB in the customer information storage unit 42 based on the target age “20s”, the target gender “female”, the purpose “advertisement / sales promotion”, and the atmosphere “elegance”. Customer information CL1, CL matching
3, CL8, CL10, and CL14 are extracted. The control unit 30 displays the five pieces of customer information CL1, CL3, CL8, CL10, and CL14 on the display unit 21, as shown in FIG. The user follows the process S based on the customer information CL1, CL3, CL8, CL10, CL14.
If it is determined that it is not desirable to execute step 13, the process returns to step S10. Otherwise, the process proceeds to step S13.

Step S13: The user selects, for example, customer information CL1 and CL8 based on his / her own judgment (in FIG. 8, black circles indicate selection).
Step S14: The processing unit 32 corrects the score of the target concept TCO, that is,
The target, purpose, and atmosphere scores are corrected using the target, purpose, and atmosphere scores in step S11 and the customer information CL1 and CL8 targets, goals, and atmosphere scores selected in step S13. More specifically, in the processing unit 32, the age “20's” in step S11 is 1.0, and the “age” of the customer information CL1 and CL8 selected in step S13 is shown in FIG.
), The age is “20s”, so it is reset to “20s” = 1.0. Similarly, the gender “female” = 1.0 is reset, and the purpose “advertising / Sales promotion "= 1.0 again.

On the other hand, the atmosphere “elegant” at step S11 = 1.0, the atmosphere “elegant” of the customer information CL1 selected at step S13 = 0.1, and the atmosphere “elegant” of the customer information CL8 = 0. Therefore, for example, the numerical value of the atmosphere in step S11 is halved, the average of the numerical value of the atmosphere in step S13 is halved, and the sum of the values after the halves , And used as the value of the atmosphere after correction, whereby the atmosphere “elegant” = 0.6 (= 1.
Reset to 0/2 + (0.1 + 0.3) / 2/2).

Further, since the atmosphere of the customer information CL1 is “Pretty” = 0.3, the processing unit 32 sets the atmosphere “Pretty” = 0.3, and similarly, the atmosphere of the customer information CL1 is “Funny” = 0. 3. Since the atmosphere “interesting” = 0.7 in the customer information CL8, the atmosphere “interesting” = 0.5 (= (0.3 + 0.7) / 2) is set. That is, between the steps S11 and S14, the numerical values of the target (age, gender), purpose, and atmosphere are corrected as shown in FIG.

After the above setting, when searching the customer information database CL_DB again based on the corrected target, purpose, and atmosphere, the process returns to step S12, and otherwise, the process proceeds to step S14.
Step S15: The search unit 31 searches the publication information database IN_DB based on the corrected target concept TCO, thereby correcting the corrected target concept TC.
Publication information that matches O, IN1, IN3, IN4, IN6, IN7, IN10, IN12,
IN15 is extracted. As shown in FIG. 9, the control unit 30 extracts the published posting information I.
N1, IN3, IN4, IN6, IN7, IN10, IN12, and IN15 are displayed on the display unit 21.

Step S16: The user makes posting information IN4 (FIG. 3) and posting information IN according to his / her own will.
7 (FIG. 5) and posting information IN12 (second sentence) are selected (in FIG. 9, black circles indicate selection).
Step S17: The processing unit 32 corrects the score of the target concept TCO, that is,
Publication information IN in which the target, purpose, and atmosphere score in step S14 are selected in step S16
4. Correct using the target, purpose, and atmosphere score of IN7, IN12. Processing unit 32
More specifically, the age “20's” in step S14 = 1.0, and the age “20's” of the selected posting information IN4, IN7, IN12 = 1.0, 0.8, 0. 6
The age “20's” = 0.9 (= 1.0 / 2 + (1.0 + 0.8 + 0.6) / 3/2) is reset. The processing unit 32 does not have an age “teen” in step S14, and the age “1” of the posted information IN7.
Since “0th generation” = 0.4, the age “10th generation” = 0.4 is set as it is.

Similarly, the processing unit 32 has a gender “female” = 0.8, a gender “male” = 0.2, a purpose “advertising / sales promotion” = 1.0, an atmosphere “elegant” = 0.7, and an atmosphere “ Pretty "= 0.4
, Atmosphere “interesting” = 0.6, atmosphere “gorgeous” = 0.8, atmosphere “powerful” =
Set to 0.7. That is, between step S14 and step S17, the numerical values of the target, purpose, and atmosphere are corrected as shown in FIG. After the above setting, the process returns to step S15 when searching the posting information database IN_DB again based on the corrected target concept TCO, and the process proceeds to step S18 otherwise.

Step S18: The search unit 31 searches the template database TE_DB based on the corrected target concept TCO, thereby the target concept TCO.
Templates TE1, TE3, and TE9 that match the above are extracted. As illustrated in FIG. 10, the control unit 30 displays the extracted templates TE1, TE3, and TE9 on the display unit 21.

Step S19: The user makes the template TE3 with his / her own intention through the input / selection unit 20.
(Second type) is selected (in FIG. 10, black circles indicate selection).
Step S20: The processing unit 32 performs the same procedure as Steps S14 and S17, that is, sets the target, purpose, and atmosphere values in Step S17 to the template T selected in Step S19.
E3's target, purpose, and atmosphere are revised to make the age “20s” =
0.9, age “teens” = 0.4, gender “female” = 0.8, gender “male” = 0.2, purpose “advertising / sales promotion” = 0.8, purpose “information provision” = 0.8, atmosphere “elegant” = 0.
8. Atmosphere “Pretty” = 0.4, Atmosphere “Funny” = 0.6, Atmosphere “Gorgeous” =
0.8 and atmosphere “powerful” = 0.7 are set. The numerical values of the target, purpose, and atmosphere are corrected between step S17 and step 20 as shown in FIG. After the above settings,
Template database TE_D based on the revised target concept TCO
When searching for B, the process returns to step S18, and otherwise, the process proceeds to step S21.

Step S21: The creation unit 33 creates document data DC using the selected publication information IN4, IN7, IN12 and the selected template TE3. Specifically, the creation unit 33
(1) As shown in FIG. 11, the placement information IN4, IN7, IN12 is placed in a frame for placing the placement information IN in the template TE3, and (2) the template is placed as shown in FIG. When it is determined that the empty space (space, margin) in TE3 is wide, by executing steps S15 and S16 by the search unit 31 and the input / selection unit 20, other posted information INa other than the posted information IN4, IN7, and IN12 is obtained. (3) As shown in FIG. 13, for example, the color tone of the image “month” represented by the publication information INa is matched with the color tone of the image represented by the other publication information IN4, and the readability of the publication information IN12 is improved. In order to achieve this, the character and the background of the character are in a complementary color relationship, or the brightness of the character is increased.

Step S22: The creation unit 33 adjusts the entire document data DC. For example, from the viewpoint of the atmosphere “elegance”, the creation unit 33 adjusts the positions of the posted information IN4, IN7, INa with emphasis on the objectivity and regularity of the document data DC, as shown in FIG. Make adjustments to avoid high and low saturation, which can spoil the “elegance”. Also, the creation unit 33
For example, from the viewpoint of the atmosphere “chic”, adjustment to suppress the brightness is performed. The creation unit 33 stores the association between the atmosphere and the adjustment in advance as a knowledge database, for example (not shown).

Step S23: The creation unit 33 causes the output device 5 to output the document data DC along the target concept TCO, as shown in FIG. 15, output information OU necessary for the output.
T is added to the document data DC. Specifically, for example, for the atmosphere “elegant”, the creation unit 33 instructs the use of glossy ink or decreases the fixing speed in order to increase the glossiness of the entire document data DC. For “interesting”, it is instructed to apply a fluorescent color to an arbitrary region with the highest saturation in order to obtain unexpectedness.

Step S24: The creation unit 33 outputs the document data DC to the output device 5, and the output device 5 prints the document according to the output information OUT and the document data DC.
"effect"
As described above, in the document creation support apparatus 1 according to the embodiment, as illustrated in FIG. 16, the processing unit 32 sets the target concept TCO, that is, the numerical values of the target, purpose, and atmosphere.
For example, correction is made according to the target, purpose, and atmosphere values included in the customer information CL, and the search unit 31 searches the posted information IN based on the corrected target concept TCO,
Further, the processing unit 32 corrects the target concept TCO again based on the posted information IN, and the search unit 31 searches for the template TE based on the re-corrected target concept TCO, and on the other hand, the searched customer Information CL, publication information IN, template T
E, the user selects the desired customer information CL, posting information IN, and template TE by the input / selection unit 20, so that the detailed nuances of the target concept TCO desired by the user are related to the customer information CL, posting information IN, template It can be reflected in the selection of TE in common, and the fine nuance can be reflected in the selection of the customer information CL, the posting information IN, and the template TE.

Instead of searching for and selecting the target information TCO and correcting the target concept TCO in the order of the customer information CL, the posting information IN, and the template TE as described above, the posting information IN and the template TE are searched without searching for the customer information CL. It is possible to obtain the same effect as described above by searching and selecting and correcting the target concept TCO. Also, the search and selection and the target concept TCO are performed in the order of the customer information CL, the template TE, and the posting information IN. The same effect as described above can be obtained by correcting the above.

Instead of placing the storage unit 4 inside the document creation support apparatus 1 as described above,
For example, in the client server system, the same effect as described above can also be obtained by arranging the document creation support apparatus that does not have the storage unit 4 in the client.
As described above, instead of display, input, and selection by the cooperation of the input / selection unit 20 and the display unit 21, for example, in a multi-function printer (MFP), a scanner may be used. The same effect as described above can also be obtained by reading an order sheet which is a sheet on which information as shown in FIG.
<< Other Examples >>
In the above embodiment, the customer information CL includes information on the customer number, customer name, address, target, purpose, and atmosphere. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and preference (favorite food, talent, TV program) Etc.) can also be configured to include information relating to the classification classified by the marketing technique. Here, the classification classified by the marketing technique is a classification generally referred to as customer classification (grouping based on customer basic information such as gender and age, classification based on RFM analysis, etc.). RFM (Recency Frequency Monetary) analysis is published in detail on the homepage of “http://www.atmarkit.co.jp/aig/04biz/rfm.html” (as of December 15, 2004), for example. .

In the above-described embodiment, the document creation support apparatus 1 is configured as an integrated apparatus.
It can also be realized as a function of a network system connected by a network. Specifically, the following three configurations can be proposed.
First, the first configuration will be described.

FIG. 17 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration of a network system in a case where main functions are provided in the server 200.
As shown in FIG. 17, the host terminal 100 includes a communication unit (not shown) that communicates with the server 200 via a network in addition to the input / selection unit 20 and the display unit 21.

The server 200 includes a control unit 30, a search unit 31, a processing unit 32, a creation unit 33, a posting information storage unit 40, a template storage unit 41, a customer information storage unit 42, a program storage unit 43, a concept storage unit 44, a network And a communication unit (not shown) that communicates with the host terminal 100 and the output device 5 via the communication terminal.
As a result, the processing load on the host terminal 100 is reduced, so that the cellular phone or PDA (Pers
onal Digital Assistant) can be used as the host terminal 100.

Next, the second configuration will be described.
FIG. 18 is a block diagram showing a configuration of a network system in the case where main functions are provided in the host terminal 100.
As shown in FIG. 18, the host terminal 100 includes an input / selection unit 20, a display unit 21, and a control unit 3.
0, search unit 31, processing unit 32, publishing information storage unit 40, template storage unit 41, customer information storage unit 42, program storage unit 43 and concept storage unit 44, as well as communication with server 200 via a network The communication unit is not configured.

In addition to the control unit 30, the creation unit 33, and the program storage unit 43, the server 200 includes a communication unit (not shown) that communicates with the host terminal 100 and the output device 5 via a network.
With such a configuration, the host terminal 100 has all data such as posting information, template, customer information, and concept, and the server 200 is based on the posting information, template, and concept selected by the host terminal 100. Document data DC is created.

Thereby, since the host terminal 100 has the information, the configuration is preferable for a user who does not want to output unnecessary information. Further, the server 200 and the output device 5 are set, and the creation unit 33 of the server 200 includes information on the output device 5, and the output device 5 is based on the information.
By using this, for each output device 5, a creation process corresponding to the characteristics of the output device 5 can be performed in the server 200. The host terminal 100 can obtain a desired output by selecting the server 200 that is paired with the output device 5 without holding information regarding the characteristics of the output device 5.

Next, a third configuration will be described.
FIG. 19 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration of a network system when functions are distributed to the host terminal 100 and the server 200 to the same extent.
As shown in FIG. 19, the host terminal 100 includes an input / selection unit 20, a display unit 21, and a control unit 3.
0, a search unit 31, a posted information storage unit 40, a template storage unit 41, a customer information storage unit 42, and a program storage unit 43, and a communication unit (not shown) that communicates with the server 200 via a network. ing.

The server 200 includes the control unit 30, the processing unit 32, the creation unit 33, the program storage unit 43, and the concept storage unit 44, as well as the host terminal 100 and the output device 5 via a network.
And a communication unit (not shown) that communicates with each other.
Thereby, since the process regarding the interaction with the user is performed by the host terminal 100, the response to the user is accelerated. In addition, server 2 handles the processing related to the concept
Since this is performed at 00, it is possible to easily perform complicated knowledge processing with a large processing load and change the algorithm to a better algorithm without making the user aware of it. Furthermore, since the server does not store information such as customer information, the configuration is preferable for users who do not want to output unnecessary information.

In the above embodiment, the target concept TCO score is corrected using the target, purpose, and atmosphere scores of the customer information CL1, CL8. However, the present invention is not limited to this. The method can also be adopted.
FIG. 20 is a flowchart showing target concept correction processing for correcting the target concept TCO based on the customer information CL.

The target concept correction process is a process executed in place of step S14.
As shown in 0, first, the process proceeds to step S30. In the following processing, the target, purpose, atmosphere “20s”, “female”, “pretty”, etc. in FIG. 4B and the age, sex, purpose, atmosphere “20s”, “female” in FIG. , “Advertisement / sales promotion” or the like is an attribute name, and a value associated therewith is an attribute value.

In step S30, all the concept COs included in the selected customer information CL are read into the temporary concept TMP, the process proceeds to step S32, and the attribute data having the same attribute name (attribute name TMPn and attribute name) is selected from the temporary concept TMP. Search for value TMPv), and the average of attribute values is calculated for attribute data having the same attribute name, and the process proceeds to step S34.

In step S34, it is determined whether or not one attribute data can be acquired from the temporary concept TMP. When it is determined that the attribute data can be acquired (Yes), the process proceeds to step S36.
In step S36, based on the acquired attribute data, it is determined whether the attribute data with the matching attribute name is included in the target concept TCO, and when it is determined that the attribute data with the matching attribute name is included (Yes ) Goes to step S38, the target concept TCO
The average value of the corresponding attribute value TCOv and the attribute value TMPv of the acquired attribute data is calculated and set as a new attribute value TCOv of the target concept TCO, and the process proceeds to step S34.

On the other hand, when it is determined in step S36 that attribute data with the same attribute name is not included in the target concept TCO (No), the process proceeds to step S40, and the acquired attribute data is added to the target concept TCO. The process proceeds to step S34.
On the other hand, when it is determined in step S34 that the attribute data cannot be acquired from the temporary concept TMP (No), the series of processes is terminated and the process returns to the original process.

Next, examples will be described.
It is assumed that customer information CL1 and CL8 are selected in step S13.
First, a temporary concept TMP is calculated from the concept CO of the selected customer information.
Customer information CL1 is 20s = 1.0, Female = 1.0, Pretty = 0.3, Interesting = 0.
3. Elegant = 0.1, customer information CL8 is 20s = 1.0, female = 1.0,
Since interesting = 0.7 and elegant = 0.3, they are all read into the temporary concept TMP. Temporary concept TMP is 20s = 1.0, women = 1
. 0, Pretty = 0.3, Interesting = 0.3, Elegant = 0.1, Twenties = 1.0,
Women = 1.0, Interesting = 0.7, Elegant = 0.3.

Next, an average of attribute values is obtained while finding attribute data having the same attribute name from the temporary concept TMP.
First, “20's”, but there are two “20's” and the attribute values are 1.0 and 1.0, so (1.0 + 1.0) /2=1.0. Next, “female” also becomes 1.0 similarly. Furthermore, since there is only one “Pretty”, it remains as it is, and there are two “Funny”, 0.
. Since 3 and 0.7, (0.3 + 0.7) /2=0.5, “Elegant” is also (0.1
+0.3) /2=0.2, that is, the temporary concept TMP is 20s = 1.0,
Women = 1.0, Pretty = 0.3, Interesting = 0.5, Elegant = 0.2.

Next, the attribute data is obtained one by one from the temporary concept TMP and synthesized into the target concept TCO.
The target concept TCO before processing was 20s = 1.0, female = 1.0, advertising / sales promotion = 1.0, elegant = 1.0, so the target concept TCO is
The synthesized attributes (average calculated attributes) are “20s”, “female”, “elegant”, and the added attribute is “Pretty” because they did not exist in the target concept TCO.
“Interesting”. In addition, because it did not exist in the temporary concept TMP, it was “advertising / sales promotion” that was not processed. As a result, the target concept TCO was 2
0s = 1.0, Women = 1.0, Advertising / Sales Promotion = 1.0, Pretty = 0.3, Interesting = 0.5, Elegant = 0.6.

Further, in the above embodiment, the customer information CL is selected on the selection screen of FIG. 8, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the customer information CL may be selected by the following interface. it can.

As shown in FIGS. 21 and 22, two most frequently used attributes are selected from the attributes, and customer information CL is arranged in a two-dimensional space according to the concept CO. Customer information CL
3, CL10 and CL14 are arranged at minus positions because there is no attribute of “interesting” and “elegant”.
The user can select a target customer by pointing on the map. Specify an area on the map by dragging the mouse,
Customers in that area can also be selected as targets.

In FIG. 21, the most frequently used attribute is selected as the axis of the two-dimensional space, but the user may be able to select the axis as shown in FIG. Furthermore, it may be a multi-dimensional representation of three or more dimensions instead of two dimensions, and the space may be navigated.
Further, regarding the age, the attributes “20s”, “30s”,... Are arranged by data conversion as “age” = 0.2 and “age” = 0.3. Similarly, the data of gender is converted so that “male” is “sex” = 0.25, and “female” is “sex” = 0.75. Also in the concept expression, regarding the age, the attributes “20's”, “30's”... Are “age” = 0.2, “age” = 0.3,. “Male” may be expressed as “sex” = 0.25, and “female” may be expressed as “sex” = 0.75.

In the above embodiment, the posting information IN is selected on the selection screen shown in FIG. 9. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the posting information IN may be selected using the following interface. it can.
FIG. 23 is a view additionally showing the concept CO of the posted information IN represented in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 23, attributes (attribute name / attribute value pairs) may be listed as text.
Moreover, in the said embodiment, although it comprised so that the template TE might be selected on the selection screen of FIG. 10, not only this but template T by the following interfaces.
It can also be configured to select E.
24 and 25 show the concept CO of the template TE shown in FIG. 3B in addition to FIG.

As shown in FIGS. 21 and 22, an example in which the concept display of the customer information CL can be selected on the concept display map is shown. However, in the examples of FIGS. 24 and 25, only the information is displayed. The map representation method is the same as the customer information CL.
In the example of FIG. 24, two of the attributes of the concept CO of each template TE are extracted with the attribute value having the larger attribute value as an axis, and are arranged so that the same attribute is in the same direction of the X axis and the Y axis. .

Like the example of FIG. 25, the input part can also be made so as to select an axis, like the customer information CL of FIG. In this case, as with the customer information CL, those without attributes are arranged at minus positions.
Further, in the above embodiment, the case where the control program stored in advance in the ROM is executed has been described in executing the processing shown in the flowcharts of FIGS. 5 and 20, but the present invention is not limited to this. As shown in FIG. 26, the program may be read from the storage medium storing the program showing these procedures into the RAM and executed.

FIG. 26 shows a storage medium and its data structure.
Here, the storage medium is a semiconductor storage medium such as RAM or ROM, a magnetic storage type storage medium such as FD or HD, an optical reading type storage medium such as CD, CDV, LD, or DVD, or a magnetic storage type such as MO. / Optical reading type storage media, including any storage media that can be read by a computer regardless of electronic, magnetic, optical, or other reading methods.

Further, in the above embodiment, the document creation support apparatus, the document creation support program and the storage medium, and the document creation support method according to the present invention are not particularly shown, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The present invention can be applied to other cases without departing from the above. For example, it can be configured as a kiosk terminal installed next to the printer.
The search processing in the search unit 31 will be described by taking the search for publication information in step S15 as an example. In the above embodiment, the posted information having the matching attribute is searched and extracted.

As another embodiment, a search is performed by calculating the distance between the target concept TCO and the concept of the posted information, and a predetermined number is extracted from the closest distance. As shown in FIG. 16, in the search for the posted information in step S15, the target concept TCO is “20's” = 1.
. 0, “Women” = 1.0, “Advertisement / Sales Promotion” = 1.0, “Elegant” = 0.6, “Pretty” = 0.3, “Interesting” = 0.5. Publication information and target concept TC
The distance of O is obtained as a sum of absolute values of attribute value differences for each attribute. For the attribute “20s”
Since the target concept TCO is 1.0 and the publication information IN1 is 0.8, the distance related to “20's” is 0.2. If there is no attribute, it is calculated as 0. For example, posted information IN
1 is “male” = 0.7, but the target concept TCO has no attribute of “male”. Therefore, the distance regarding “male” is 0.7. When these sums are calculated, the distance between the target concept TCO and the publication information IN1 is 0.2 (20s) + 1.0 (female)
+1.0 (advertising and sales promotion) +0.6 (elegant) +0.3 (pretty) +0.5 (interesting) +0.7 (male) +0.6 (chic) +0.8 (powerful) = 5. 7. Target concept T for all posted information IN stored in the posted information storage unit
The distance from the CO is calculated, and the upper predetermined number of posted information is extracted.
