  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a conceptual diagram showing some of the components of the system according to the present invention and the operation procedure.

  First, a new layout is automatically created in the layout creation block 100.

  The system of the present invention includes a print image / print information 101 and a word table / multi-table 102. The print image / print information 101 is data that defines a print surface of a newly created layout and information for printing the created layout. On the other hand, the word table / multi-table 102 is a data table in which information to be repeatedly used in printing and printing is stored in an arbitrary format. In the word table / multi-table 102, data expressed in multiple languages is registered in advance, and is displayed in the multiple languages when a new layout is created or when the created layout is continuously printed. Data can be used. Since the system includes the word table / multi-table 102, accurate information can be registered, and the speed of work can be improved.

  In the format size setting block 103 included in the layout creation block 100, the size (size) of the target to be printed or printed is defined. In the external information fetch block 104, arbitrary information defined in the print image / print information 101 is fetched. In the information registration block 105, information registration for printing / printing a newly created layout is performed, and an arbitrary table registered in the word table / multi-table 102 is used. In the layout setting block 106, a new layout is determined.

  In the print information confirmation / overcrowded print information creation block 107, the determined layout information and print information are overcrowded according to a unique rule. Since the layout information and the print information are made dense, the determined layout information and the print information are protected. Overcrowded print data 108 is the overcrowded data created by the above processing. The overprint data created in the print information confirmation / overcrowded print information creation block 107 is transmitted to a remote printing work site or used for processing for creating a printing block.

  In the on-site printing block 109, the overcrowded print data 108 created in another place (or another computer system) is received at the place where the printing operation is performed, and the received overcrowded print data 108 is simply displayed and displayed on the screen. The In the data capture / view display / print block 110, an image list of the captured overprint data is displayed on the computer screen with a single click of the mouse button, thereby confirming the print contents and printing accurately. To be supported. In addition, it is possible to output the contents displayed in the view to the connected network printer as evidence of the confirmation work. The operator prints actual tags after confirming the contents displayed in the view.

  In the block creation block 111, the overprint data 108 is taken in and a block for printing is created. The overcrowded print data 108 is common with the print data, and either printing or printing can be arbitrarily selected. The composition sample 112 is a sample layout layout example when creating a composition for printing, and supports the accuracy and speed of the composition creation process. The print history information 113 stores information automatically printed when overprinting print data is printed. The stored print history information 113 can be taken back into the field print and reprinted, and can also be output to the processing instruction. In the print output block 114, the created layout is directly printed, or the overcrowded print data 108 is taken in and printed out.

  FIG. 2 is a conceptual diagram showing some of the components of the system according to the present invention and the operation procedure when the created layout is continuously used. In the system according to the present invention, even when the layout is continuously used, a mechanism is constructed that can perform an accurate printing process according to the requirements of the work site, as in the case of creating a new layout.

  The print information input block 200 is processing logic for selecting a layout that has already been created, newly registering print information, and printing or printing. The layout information 201 is a file of various layouts that stores a layout created by the layout creation logic in an arbitrarily set system.

  In the layout selection block 202, the stored various layouts are searched by an arbitrary classification unit, and a corresponding layout is selected from a plurality of layouts displayed on the screen by clicking a mouse button or the like. In the information retrieval acquisition / information registration / SKU processing instruction information registration block 203, information necessary for printing and printing the previously selected layout is registered. Here, it is possible to search and acquire information from the previously created word table and multi-table and register them or register them manually. Simultaneously with the information registration described above, it is possible to arbitrarily register the quantity registration by size color (by SKU) and processing instruction information if necessary.

  In the view display confirmation block 204, the previously registered print information is displayed on the actual size view screen, whereby the print information can be confirmed. The contents of the displayed view can be arbitrarily output from the network printer as a confirmation document. On the view screen, the print contents are displayed for each SKU. In the print information confirmation block 205, the result of confirming the registered print information on the view screen is confirmed. The bar code definition table 206 is a bar code definition table for each group registered by different logic. By using the bar code definition table 206, the bar code is automatically linked to the print information and used. Is possible. The classification of barcodes by group in the barcode definition table 206 can be arbitrarily performed.

  After the print information confirmation block 205, the layout information and print information determined in the overcrowded print information creation block 207 are overcrowded according to a unique rule. The subsequent processing is the same as the processing described with reference to FIG. In the print output block 114, the created layout is directly printed, or the overcrowded print data 108 is taken in and printed out.

  FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram showing an example of a hardware configuration of a system for carrying out the present invention. The system shown in FIG. 3 includes a central processing unit (CPU) 301, a memory 302, a hard disk 303, a display control unit 304, a display device 305, a communication device 306, and a printer 308. The system for carrying out the present invention may be a personal computer that is generally commercially available.

  The CPU 301 is a device for performing various arithmetic processes such as addition, subtraction, conditional branching, and the like. For example, Athlon (trademark) manufactured by Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. Similarly, Pentium (registered trademark) manufactured by Intel Corporation of the United States is used. The CPU 301 is connected to the memory 302 through a memory bus and an address bus (not shown), and can read and write the contents of the memory 302. Memory 302 may include read only memory (ROM), random access memory (RAM), erasable memory (EEPROM), and the like. The CPU 301 is connected to the hard disk 303 via an input / output (I / O) bus and an I / O control device (not shown), and can read and write data recorded on the hard disk. The operation of the CPU 301 is controlled by a program stored in the memory 302.

  The CPU 301 is also connected to a display control unit 304 and a communication device 306 via an I / O bus and an I / O control device (not shown). The display control unit 304 is connected to a display device 305 such as a liquid crystal display (LCD) or a cathode ray tube (CRT), and various screens are displayed on the display device 305 in accordance with output signals from the display control unit 304. The communication device 306 is connected to various networks 307 such as a wide area network (WAN) such as the Internet and a local area network (LAN) such as a corporate network. The communication device 306 transmits / receives data to / from a target device on the network 307 according to control by the CPU 301. The printer 308 is any one of various printers such as one or a plurality of thermal transfer, ink jet, sublimation type, and laser, and preferably includes a printer capable of printing on photographic paper.

  The hard disk 303 is a fixed magnetic disk capable of recording various data. In the present embodiment, the print image / print information 331, the word table / multi table 332, the layout information 333, the barcode definition table 334, the overcrowded print data 335, and the composition sample 336 are recorded on the hard disk 303.

  The print image / print information 331 is data such as numerical values, character strings, and images to be printed on the print / print target. The word table / multi-table 332 is a table in which item names written in a plurality of languages and words written in a plurality of languages having contents corresponding to the respective items are stored. The layout information 333 is information indicating the arrangement of numerical values, character strings, images, and the like to be printed, the entire object to be printed, and the size of each element to be printed. The bar code definition table 334 is a table for defining bar codes corresponding to product codes, product names, contents, and raw materials of products to be printed. The overcrowded print data 335 is high-density image data used for actually printing on an object. The block sample 336 is a sample for creating a block for printing.

  4A and 4B are flowcharts showing an example of the operation of the data editing system according to the present invention. Initially, at block 400, the operator of the data editing system selects the language to use. In the data editing system according to the present invention, an arbitrary number and types of languages can be used, but three languages of Japanese, Chinese and English can be used for easy understanding. This will be explained below.

  In block 401, the size of the layout format of the object to be created, such as tags and labels, is set, that is, the size of the object to be printed or printed is defined. Next, in block 402, a selection is made between capturing information from the outside or registering the information. When external information capture is selected in block 402, external information recorded in the print image / print information 331 is captured in block 403. On the other hand, if information registration is selected in block 402, information registration (input) for printing a newly created layout is performed in block 404.

Information registration in the block 404 is performed using any table included in the word table / multi-table 332. For example, in the word table / multi-table 332, the words shown in Table 1 below are registered in a plurality of languages as item names.

  In Table 1, each word registered in a plurality of languages is associated with an item code. For example, “product” in Japanese corresponds to the item code “01”. The same item code is associated with words in a plurality of languages representing the same meaning. For example, Japanese “size”, Chinese “scale” and English “Size” are all associated with item code 02. Yes. Thereby, the conversion of the word using an item code can be easily performed between multiple languages.

In the word table / multi-table 332, contents corresponding to each item name are also registered in a plurality of languages. For example, as the contents corresponding to the item name “Composition 01”, the words shown in Table 2 below are registered in a plurality of languages.

  FIG. 5 shows an example of a screen displayed on the display device 305 when information registration in block 404 is performed. Typically, in the information registration, for each item displayed on the screen, a character string, a numerical value, or the like is manually input using an input device (not shown) such as a mouse or a keyboard, or a word table / multi-table 332. This is done by selecting one of a plurality of words registered in. The screen example shown in FIG. 5 is a screen when Japanese is selected in the block 400, and the item names in the left column of Table 1 are displayed in the item fields 501, 505, etc. in the input window 510. Yes.

  On the right side of the item columns 501, 505, etc., there are provided input columns 511, 515, etc. for inputting the contents corresponding to the items. Here, for example, for the item name “product”, a character string (“COSM12345”) is manually input in the input field 511, and for the item name “composition 01” in the input field 515 in the second column from the left in Table 2. Select one of the six words shown (“hair”, “polyester”, etc.). Selection is performed using the selection window 520. The contents input and selected in the input window 510 are immediately displayed in the view window 530 according to the layout specified by the layout information 333. Thereby, the user can easily confirm the image finally printed on the tag or the like.

  When the external information acquisition in block 403 or the information registration in block 404 is completed, the layout is determined in block 405, and the determined layout is stored in the layout information 333 on the hard disk 303. Thereafter, in block 406, it is selected by the operator whether or not to perform the print output of the determined layout. If the print output is selected, the print output is performed in block 406a.

  Thereafter, if it is selected in block 407 to create another layout, the process returns to block 401 to create another layout. A plurality of layouts can be stored in the layout information 333 by repeating the procedures of blocks 401 to 407.

  After the creation of the layout is completed, in block 408, the layout selected in the layout information 333 is selected by the operator. Next, in block 409, the operator selects whether to register information or to register the quantity and processing instruction information for each SKU. If information registration is selected in block 409, information registration is performed in block 410. If it is selected in block 409 that registration of quantity and processing instruction information for each SKU is selected, registration of quantity and processing instruction information for each SKU is performed in block 411.

  Next, in block 412, the contents of each layout can be confirmed by displaying a list of selected layouts on the screen of the display device 305. Here too, it is possible to print out in blocks 413-414. Next, in block 415, whether or not to confirm the print information is selected by the operator, and if it is selected to confirm the print information, the process proceeds to block 416 and it is selected not to confirm the print information. If yes, return to block 409.

  In block 416, the print information is determined and stored in the print image / print information 331 on the hard disk 303. Here again, it is possible to print again in blocks 417-418. Thereafter, in block 419, overprinted print data 335, which is actual print image data, is created based on the confirmed print information. Next, in block 420, the prepared overprint data 335 is output to photographic paper or the like by a dedicated printer, thereby creating a block composition.

  Finally, in block 421, the data created in the data editing system is transmitted to the below-described printing computer system via the network 307 by the communication device 306. The data transmitted here is typically the overcrowded print data 335, but it is technically possible to transmit other data. For example, the print image / print information 331 and the layout information 333 can be transmitted to the printing computer system alone or in combination with the overcrowded print data 335.

  FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram showing an example of a hardware configuration of a printing computer system according to the present invention. The system shown in FIG. 6 includes a CPU 601, a memory 602, a hard disk 603, a display control unit 604, a display device 605, a communication device 606, and a printer 608. The printing computer system according to the present invention may be a personal computer that is generally commercially available. The printing computer system is preferably installed at a site where the printing operation is performed, and the site may be a location away from the location where the data editing computer system is installed.

  The function of each component of the printing computer system is substantially the same as the function of each component of the data editing computer system described with reference to FIG. The content recorded on the hard disk 603 includes overprinting print data 631 and print history information 632. The hard disk 603 may include data 331 to 336 recorded on the hard disk 303 of FIG. The overcrowded print data 631 is high-resolution image data similar to the overcrowded print data 335 shown in FIG. The print history information 632 is information including a print quantity when printing is performed by the printing computer system, overprint data name, and the like.

  FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the printing computer system according to the present invention. Initially, in block 701, data capture is performed. The data captured here is typically overprinted data created in the above-described data editing computer system and transmitted to the printing computer system via the network 307. Data is fetched by the CPU 601 executing a program stored in the memory 602, and as a result, data received by the communication device 606 is stored in the overprint data 631 on the hard disk 603.

  When the data editing computer system transmits data other than overprint data (for example, print image / print information and layout information), the print computer system captures the data. In this case, data other than overprinting data is recorded on the hard disk 603.

  Next, in block 702, a selection of whether to display the view is made by an operator of the printing computer system. If display of the view is selected, a list of overprint data, for example, is displayed in block 703.

  FIG. 8 shows an example of the screen displayed in block 703. In FIG. 8, the overcrowded print data is displayed in the portion 801 of the window 800, and the quantity for each SKU is displayed in the portion 802. A list of overprinting print data is displayed as images 811 to 814 in the window 810.

  In block 704, printing is actually performed on a printing / printing object such as a tag. The printing here is performed according to the overcrowded print data 631. When printing in block 704 is completed, printing history information 632 is recorded on hard disk 603 in block 705. This print history information is useful when performing the same work as the previous print by referring to it at a later date.

  The present invention is typically used for tags and labels for clothing, but for any other printed matter such as household appliances, bags, musical instruments, medicines, etc. The present invention can also be applied to various stickers such as stickers for sticking, cards for managing book lending information in libraries, and time cards.
