Description

  The present invention relates to a processing method, a processing apparatus, and a medium on which a processing program is recorded, in which a form and data in text format are superimposed and printed.

  In a print processing control program in a computer system, etc., in the operation of specifying a data file described in a text format with a form such as “invoice” or “delivery note” and overlaying the data (printing as overlay printing) Create multiple figures (specify as table figures) to display the data received from the data file in a tabular format on the form, and change the table figure according to the corresponding data. There is a great demand for continuous overlay printing with a minimum interval between them. At the same time, since the overlay printing process itself has become a large number of pages, there is a demand for reducing the total number of printed sheets as much as possible and reducing the printing cost.

  As a conventional example, when inputting data, a user sets a plurality of input items including a label and an input area, and then designates a vertical type or a horizontal type as a form of their arrangement. When the vertical type or the horizontal type is specified, the CPU generates a vertical or horizontal data input screen in which input areas are arranged in the vertical direction or the horizontal direction with respect to the labels of the input items, and displays this on the display device. There is a thing (refer patent document 1).

  Also provided is a form creation device and a recording medium capable of freely combining and synthesizing a plurality of forms created by different application programs, and a first form data designation means for designating first form data. A second form data specifying means for specifying the second form data, a key code specifying means for specifying a key code that is a common item between the first form data and the second form data, and a key code specification Based on the common item data specified by the common item data specifying means and the common item data specifying means for specifying the common item data from the key code specified by the means, specified by the first form data specifying means And a synthesis means for synthesizing the first form data and the second form data designated by the second form data designation means. There is shall (see Patent Document 2).

Further, in the form output process, the CPU sets a group serial number for each record data in the record file to be processed based on the group information created in the group information setting process, and based on the group serial number, Some record data are grouped, developed into a form with a layout defined in an output form definition form, and displayed on a display unit or printed out from a printing apparatus (see Patent Document 3).
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-66184 JP 2002-150205 A JP 2002-259894 A

  However, in the conventional technique, it is very difficult to control a plurality of different table figures according to data. For this reason, at the stage of creating a table graphic on the form, there are restrictions such as prohibiting the creation of a plurality of different table graphics by specification. That is, there is no overlay print processing means itself using a form in which a plurality of different table figures are created.

  If individual table figures are created on different forms and overlay printing is executed multiple times, similar print results can be obtained, but (1) multiple different table figures can be printed on one page. Therefore, when the table graphic ends at the upper end of the sheet, most of the sheet becomes “margin”, and the total number of printed sheets cannot be suppressed. (2) A value such as “page serial number” indicating the number of pages in the entire printing result is initialized every time the overlay printing process is performed. (3) Since a problem such as interruption of another print processing result occurs during the overlay print processing, the target print result cannot be obtained, which is not an essential solution.

  In order to solve the above problems, by creating a form through a user interface that is one of the means that can explicitly and easily execute the creation of a plurality of table figures, and specifying it together with the corresponding data file, Proposal Idea 4DFM120 has already stated that printing processing requested by many users can be realized, and that the load on the user can be reduced and the cost performance including operation and maintenance can be drastically improved. ing. In addition to the contents of the proposal idea 4DFM 120, the present invention provides a function of setting the interval between table figures in a form including a plurality of table figures on the user interface. As a result, more advanced and diverse printing processes including a plurality of table figures can be realized, and at the same time, various printing processes and forms requested by many users can be flexibly handled.

To solve these problems,
In the operation (overlay printing) in which data such as “invoice” and “invoice” is specified and a data file written in text format is specified and the data is overlaid (overlay printing)
Step 1 for creating a plurality of areas (fields) for receiving data on the form for each table graphic unit
Step 2 for creating a plurality of different table figures from the field created in Step 1
Step 3 for setting an interval between each table graphic created in step 2 and another table graphic
Step 4 for saving the contents created in steps 1 to 3 in the form
Each step is provided.

  As described above, the present invention provides a user interface that can explicitly and easily execute table graphic interval setting on a form, thereby reducing the load of creating a form information file and improving work efficiency. In addition, through the actual printing process, not only will it be possible to realize more advanced and diverse printing processes that include multiple table figures, but it will also be able to flexibly support various printing processes and forms that many users desire. The effect of becoming is obtained.

(Example 1)
Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

  Overlay printing uses a function called page registration or form registration that a page printer such as a laser printer has. For example, a page line of a document paper form in a form is registered in advance as form information, and this page is used. When printing with text format data using a printer, by using a function called page information call or form information call, the previously registered form information and text format data are overlaid and printed. be able to. Such overlay printing is generally overlay printing. Form data (form information) used in overlay printing is generally created using a dedicated form information design system. The form information is fixedly displayed / printed at the specified position in the form. The figure does not depend on the data (form figure), and in what format / order the data is received, that is, the data input method. And an object (field figure) created from the field and defining in what position and in what format, ie, the data output method. FIG. 4 shows an example of the relationship between the form figure, field, field figure, and data in the table figure defined by the form information.

  In the case of a table graphic, since the field (404) receives data in units of columns of the table graphic, a plurality of field graphics (405) created from the field (404) are generally created. When the field figure (405) is created, the field figure (405) is internally associated with the field figure (404). Further, it is not always necessary to create the field graphic (405), and the field (404) for which the field graphic (405) has not been generated receives data but does not output the received data on the form.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS.

This is a program for writing / reading form information currently being designed to / from a form information file (207) existing on the ASU (108) of FIG. Further, the file input / output unit (205) (file input / output control program) receives the form information file (207) via the drawing control unit (204) based on the command of the user interface unit (206) (overall control program). You can also read and write.

  FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the overlay printing system.

  In FIG. 3, reference numeral 301 denotes the entire overlay printing system of this embodiment.

  The overlay printing system (301) exists on the CS (106) in FIG. 1 when the overlay printing system is used.

  Based on an overlay printing control unit (304) (overall control program), which will be described later, in the overlay printing system (301), the CPU (105) has a file input / output unit (302) (file input / output control program) described later, A user interface unit (303) (control program) and a printer driver unit (305) (printer control program) are controlled.

  The user interface unit (303) uses the form information file name and data file name input from the form information file (207) and data file (208) in the ASU (108) via the file input / output unit (302). 1 is displayed on the display device (101) of FIG. 1, or the form information file name or data file specified by the user input using the keyboard device (102) of FIG. 1 or a pointing device (not shown). This program accepts selection instruction information such as a name and outputs it to the file input / output unit (302).

Or interpret the text data received via the file input / output unit (302) and intermediate data (data that has been retrofitted to make it easier for the printer driver unit (305) to generate bitmap data) This is a program that is generated and output to the printer driver unit (305).

  Next, a specific operation of the present embodiment will be described.

  FIGS. 9 to 11 are flowcharts showing an operation of creating a form information file (207), specifying a corresponding data file (208), and overlay printing in the form information design system according to the embodiment of the present invention. . The control program shown in this flowchart corresponds to the user interface unit (206) in FIG. 2, and when setting information for defining form information items is input via the display control unit (203), the CPU (105) Run the control program.

  First, the CPU (105) determines whether or not the form information creation instruction from the user input via the display control unit (203) in FIG. 2 is a table graphic creation instruction (S101). .

  If it is determined in S101 that the form information creation instruction from the user is not a table graphic creation instruction, the process ends.

  If it is determined in S101 that the form information creation instruction from the user is a table graphic creation instruction, the form from the user that is input via the display control unit (203) in FIG. It is determined whether the information creation instruction is a field creation instruction for receiving table graphic data (S102).

  If it is determined in S102 that the form information creation instruction from the user is an instruction to create a field for receiving table graphic data, a field for receiving the table graphic data is defined and created (S103). ). The created field is displayed as an item (404) in the field definition window (402) of the form design window (401) of FIG. In the process of S103, the user determines whether or not to create a field for another table graphic (S104). If it is determined that the field is necessary, the field creation process is repeatedly performed continuously. .

  If it is determined in S104 that the field creation processing has been completed, then the form information creation instruction from the user input via the display control unit (203) in FIG. It is determined whether or not it is an instruction to create a constituent field graphic (S105).

  In S105, when it is determined that the form information creation instruction from the user is an instruction to create a field graphic constituting the table graphic, it is determined whether or not the field from which the field graphic is created has already been created. (S106).

  If it is determined in S106 that the field that is the creation source of the field graphic constituting the table graphic is not created, the processes of S103 and S104 are performed.

  If it is determined in S106 that the field that is the creation source of the field graphic constituting the table graphic has been created, a field graphic is created and a table graphic is created from the field graphic (S107).

  As an example of how to create a specific table figure, after selecting the field (404) displayed in the field definition window (402) of the form design window (401) in FIG. 4, on the form creation window (403) Drop to create a field shape. When this operation is repeated a plurality of times to create field figures that are constituent elements of the table figure, these field figures are selected, and attributes such as the number of rows are set and a table figure creation command is executed. The created table graphic (406) displays a start reference point (504) shown in FIG. 5 when the table graphic is displayed from the top of the page. The form definition window (403) includes a “common” sheet (501) for creating a graphic displayed on each page independent of the table graphic, and sheets (502, 503) for each table graphic.

  In the process of S107, the user determines whether or not to create a plurality of table figures (S108), and if it is determined that it is necessary, the table figure creation process is repeatedly performed continuously.

  Finally, it is determined whether or not a series of table graphic creation processing by the user has been completed (S109).

  If it is determined in S109 that the series of table graphic creation processes by the user has not been completed, the processes of S102 to S108 are performed.

  If it is determined in S109 that the series of table graphic creation processing by the user has been completed, the form information creation instruction from the user input via the display control unit (203) in FIG. It is determined whether or not it is an instruction to set an interval for a table graphic (S110).

  If it is determined in S110 that the instruction from the user is the interval setting for the table graphic, the table graphic interval is set (S111).

  As an example of the specific table figure interval setting, when a command for setting an interval when a plurality of table figures are displayed on the same page is executed from the form design window (401) of FIG. A table graphic interval setting window (602) including a dialog for setting the interval between each table graphic as shown, and a preview window (603) for setting the table graphic interval are displayed.

  In the dialog of the table figure interval setting window (602), when a place where the interval is actually desired is clicked, table figures positioned before and after the interval are displayed on the preview window (603) (604, 605). At this time, the displayed table graphic only needs to be able to set the interval of the table graphic, so that it does not have a configuration actually created, but has a configuration for one line of data having a heading row. In addition, the interval between the actual table figures is set by moving the vertical and horizontal knobs (606, 607).

  In the processing of S111, the user determines whether or not to set another table graphic interval (S112). If it is determined to do so, the table graphic interval setting is repeated continuously.

  Finally, it is determined whether or not each process of S102 to S112 is stored in the form information file (S113). If it is determined that the processing is stored in the form information file, the contents are stored in the form information file (S114). ), The process is terminated. At this point, the processing of the program ends once.

  Next, in this embodiment, the form information file in which the table graphic is created and the corresponding data file are specified, and the overlay result is previewed on the display (101) or output from the printer (110). Think about the case.

  First, an instruction from the user input via the display control unit (203) of FIG. 2 is determined (S201).

  If it is determined in S201 that the instruction from the user is an editing process for the form information file, the form editing process is performed (S202). Specifically, the processes of steps S102 to S112 are performed.

  If it is determined in S201 that the instruction from the user is a preview process, it is determined whether or not a form information file is specified (S203), and it is determined that no form information file is specified. In this case, a form information file is designated (S204). Similarly, it is determined whether or not a data file is specified (S205). If it is determined that no data file is specified, a data file is specified (S206).

  When the form information file and the data file are designated, it is determined whether or not the preview process is actually performed (S207). If it is determined that the preview process is actually performed, the preview process is performed (S208). ).

  The preview process is performed as follows.

  First, form information necessary for preview processing, such as table graphic attributes and shapes, is acquired from the designated form information file (S301). Based on the form information acquired in S301, the designated data file is analyzed (S302), the acquired data is stored in the corresponding part of the table graphic, and the table graphic is generated and displayed (S303).

  When analyzing the data file, it is determined whether or not the description for switching the table graphic has been analyzed (S304). If it is determined that the description for switching the table graphic has been analyzed, the table graphic switching process is performed internally. (S305).

  FIG. 7 shows an example of a designated data file. In this case, when the data definition line (701) is analyzed, the subsequent data is stored in the table graphic after switching. In addition, the table definition name (702) of the storage destination is also described in the data definition line (701), so that the data can be stored in the specified table figure regardless of the data description order.

  Next, it is determined whether or not the table graphic after switching can be continuously displayed after the interval set in S111 is set on the same page (S306).

  In S306, if it is determined that the table figure after switching can be displayed continuously after the interval set in S111 on the same page, the row of the table figure that can be displayed on the same page After calculating the number, the data file is analyzed based on the value (S307), the acquired data is stored in the table graphic, and the table graphic is generated and displayed (S308).

  Then, it is determined whether or not all the data file analysis processing has been completed (S309).

  If it is determined in S309 that all data file analysis processing has been completed, the processing ends.

  If it is determined in S309 that all the data file analysis processing has not been completed, page break processing is performed (S310), and unanalyzed data is continuously analyzed.

  Finally, it is determined whether or not the overlay printing process is actually performed (S209). If it is determined that the overlay printing process is actually performed, the overlay printing process is performed (S210).

  FIG. 8 shows an example of preview and overlay printing results.

(Example 2)
In the first embodiment, the table graphic interval is set via a user interface having a function of displaying the contents of the form information file, and the set contents are stored in the form information file and this is performed when overlay printing is executed. This was realized by specifying the form information file.

  In the second embodiment, these processes are performed as follows.

  A function for setting the table graphic interval is provided from the overlay printing system (301) in a library format. The user can obtain a desired print result by executing a table figure interval setting function before executing the overlay printing process.

(Effects specific to Example 2)
As an effect peculiar to the second embodiment, since individual settings relating to table graphics are provided in a library format, it is possible to reduce the load of creating a form information file for a user, particularly a form information file designer. At the same time, since the contents stored in the created form information file become simpler, the file access process occupying most of the processing time becomes efficient, and the processing time can be reduced. Further, it is possible to flexibly cope with various operation forms of the user, and an effect that the degree of freedom as a file is dramatically improved is obtained.
