Description

  The present invention relates to a stencil printing system equipped with a color scanner.

In recent years, copiers (PPCs) and multifunction printers (MFPs) installed in offices and business offices
Colorization is progressing, and the replacement of monochrome PPCs and monochrome MFPs with color PPCs and color MFPs is rapidly progressing as well as new purchases. As a result, color scanners have become commonplace in scanners installed in PPCs and MFPs, and the relative cost of color scanners that have been expensive in the past has been decreasing year by year.

  On the other hand, in the stencil printing apparatus, since the basic image forming process is monochrome plate making and printing, a monochrome scanner has been used for a long time. However, due to the changes in the office environment as described above, the discontinuation of production of monochrome scanners and the reduction of production models and production scales, it is becoming more difficult to obtain and ensure the stability of monochrome scanners for stencil printing machines. . For this reason, it is necessary to consider a stencil printing apparatus having an unbalanced configuration and specifications, in which the scanner to be mounted is a color scanner, although the image forming engine is basically based on monochrome.

  However, in this configuration, although the color scanner is installed, the actual operation (document reading) can only be used in the monochrome mode, and it can only be used as a substitute for the monochrome scanner. (Potential) cannot be fully demonstrated.

  Until now, there is no stencil printing system based on such an unbalanced configuration / specification, so there is no prior art that sets such a problem. Use SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) or the like to find a color image forming apparatus that has a color imaging engine on the network, transfer the image data scanned by the color scanner of the stencil printing machine, and transfer destination However, this does not make use of the potential of the color scanner in the stencil printing system.

  In addition, as a method of using the scanner, for example, there is a method of use disclosed in Patent Document 1. In Patent Document 1, a translation function of an image forming apparatus is provided, and an original document reading apparatus that is standardly mounted on the image forming apparatus, that is, a so-called scanner is used to read an original document in another language to be translated. Recognize other language words, perform translation processing of the extracted other language words by the translation engine built in the image forming device, synthesize the translation result with the manuscript data, and output the image (print output). ing. Also, a list of word books and the like possessed by the image forming apparatus can be printed out.

  However, in Patent Document 1, a color scanner is not considered, and the usage method disclosed in Patent Document 1 cannot be said to be a usage method in which the potential of the color scanner can be fully utilized.

  Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and a stencil printing system that can fully utilize the potential of a color scanner even if the image forming engine is a monochrome-based configuration and specification equipped with a color scanner. The purpose is to provide.

  In order to solve the above problems, a stencil printing system according to the present invention includes a reading unit that reads a document and a color command sheet in which a specific area on the document is specified by a plurality of colors as a color image, and the reading unit. Analysis means for analyzing a word in a specific area specified in the color command sheet in the read original, and a specific color specified by a first color among the words analyzed by the analysis means Translating means for translating words in the area.

  According to the present invention, the potential of the color scanner can be fully utilized even if the image forming engine has a configuration and specification in which the color scanner is mounted on a monochrome basis.

  Next, embodiments for carrying out the invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

<First Embodiment>
As shown in FIG. 1, a stencil printing system 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a stencil printing apparatus 100, an area specifying unit 2 (color command sheet 15), a translation service providing unit 5 (translation server 600), It is comprised.

  The stencil printing apparatus 100 forms a latent image on a master made of a thermoplastic film by using a thermal perforation process, and loads the master on which the latent image has been formed on a printing drum filled with ink. This is a so-called stencil printing apparatus that forms a visible image on the paper by rotating the printing drum that is rotated and brought into pressure contact with the fed paper.

  The area designating unit 2 (color command sheet 15) designates a specific area (region) of the document. At this time, for example, the area designating unit 2 displays at least one encircling line or diagonal line on a sheet-like medium having the same size as the original called a color area designating sheet, using at least one kind of color marker of different colors. The written position is designated as a specific area of the document.

  The translation service providing means 5 (translation server 600) receives the foreign language word data read by the color reading means, which will be described in detail below, converted into text data, and transmitted by the communication means of the stencil printing apparatus 100, and translated. Then, a service to send it back to the other language word data transmission source is provided through the network.

  The stencil printing apparatus 100 includes a color reading unit 3 (color image scanner 110), a foreign language word translation designation unit 4 (touch panel 115), a reverse dictionary 6 (flash ROM 217), and a reverse dictionary processing unit 7 (stencil printing apparatus 100). Control unit 20), translation result output means 8 (electronic paper 400), and control means 9 (control unit 20 of the stencil printing apparatus 100).

  The color reading unit 3 (color image scanner 110) reads a document or the color command sheet 15. The color reading unit 3 (color image scanner 110) can separate the read pixels into color components.

  The foreign language word translation designating unit 4 (touch panel 115) determines whether or not to translate the foreign language word or the idiom using the color command sheet 15, and whether to use the reverse dictionary 6 when translating the foreign language word. Whether the reverse dictionary 6 is used, the reverse dictionary 6 is specified, the color marker used in the color command sheet 15 is associated with the foreign language word translation function, and the output destination of the foreign language translation result is designated.

  The reverse dictionary 6 (flash ROM 217) is a dictionary that collects a set of words that are not translated when translating a foreign language manuscript.

  The reverse dictionary processing means 7 (the control unit 20 of the stencil printing apparatus 100) performs processing using the reverse dictionary 6. At that time, the reverse dictionary processing means 7 (the control unit 20 of the stencil printing apparatus 100) uses the reverse dictionary 6, and requests the translation service providing means 5 to translate the foreign language words registered in the reverse dictionary 6. Or, it is not reflected in the translation processing result finally provided to the user, such as removing the foreign language word from the translation result answered by the service providing means.

  The translation result output means 8 (electronic paper 400) outputs the foreign language manuscript data and the result processed (translated) by the translation service means 5 to the output target designated by the output destination of the foreign language word translation designation means 4 After performing an appropriate layout process, format conversion or data conversion is performed, and plate making / printing or display or saving is performed on a designated output target.

  The control means 9 (the control unit 20 of the stencil printing apparatus 100) controls processing by each of the above means. Prior to reading the other language original, the control means 9 reads the color command sheet 15 in which an area corresponding to a specific area on the original is written by the color marker by the color reading means 3, and for each color marker shade. A grouped area group is formed. The control means 9 continues to read the other language original by the color reading means 3, and converts the read other language original into text data. Then, the control unit 9 associates the foreign language document data with the area group for each color of the position / color marker corresponding to the color command sheet 15 by the foreign language word translation designation unit 8, and further, the associated area The assignment to the group and the foreign language word translation function is performed, and finally, the foreign language word data to be translated is determined.

  Thereafter, the control means 9 transmits the word data to the translation service providing means 5 existing on the network using the communication means of the stencil printing apparatus 100 and processed (translated) by the translation service providing means 5. Receive the result. Then, the control means 9 performs an appropriate layout process such as a bilingual form on the other language manuscript data and the result processed (translated) by the translation service providing means 5, and then makes the plate making printing by the stencil printing apparatus 100. Or display on the electronic paper 400 after format conversion to PDF or EPUB format, or a storage device in the stencil printing apparatus 100 or a portable memory attached to the stencil printing apparatus 100 as an electronic file Or save.

  A basic configuration of the stencil printing apparatus 100 constituting the stencil printing system 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

The stencil printing apparatus 100 includes, inside the apparatus main body, a printing drum 101 around which a master 107 is wound around an outer peripheral surface, a press roller 102 serving as a printing pressure unit, a plotter 103 serving as a plate making apparatus,
An image of a wound master 107 by pressing a recording paper 106 fed from a paper feeding means 105 disposed on the right side of the apparatus main body against the printing drum 101 by a press roller 102. In the case of single-sided printing, the image-transferred recording paper 106 is transported by the transporting unit 108 to the paper discharge unit 109 disposed on the left side of the apparatus main body, and in the case of double-sided printing, single-sided printing is performed. The recording paper for which the printing has been completed is guided to the paper re-feeding means 122 by the switching member 121 and is fed again to perform printing on the back surface.

  A color scanner 110 serving as an image reading unit is arranged on the upper part of the main body of the stencil printing apparatus 100, reads an original image, and acquires image data used for plate making.

  An operation panel 111 serving as an operation unit of the stencil printing apparatus 100 is disposed on the upper front surface of the stencil printing apparatus 100 main body. The operation panel 111 is provided with a printing / plate making switching key 113, a start key 114, a display 115, an initial setting / printer setting key 116, a printing position adjustment key 117, a printing speed setting key 118, and the like. The display unit 115 is configured by an LCD touch panel, and various guidance information and various operation screens are appropriately displayed on the screen. When the operation screen is operated by a user or an apparatus operator, the display unit 115 displays each screen. The contents corresponding to the selected switch are set in the control means 20 and the stencil printing apparatus 100.

  A control unit 20 that controls each unit of the stencil printing apparatus 100 is disposed in the stencil printing apparatus 100 main body.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the control unit 20 is largely divided into two parts, that is, an ACU 200 (Application Control Unit) and an ECU 300 (Engine Control Unit) serving as a mounting board.

  The ACU 200 includes an operation panel interface 205 to which an operation panel (touch panel) 111 of the stencil printing apparatus 100 is connected, and an interface (SD I / O) to which an SD memory card 201 and a USB memory 203 which are portable mass storage media are connected. F 206, USB I / F 209), an interface 208 to which a hard disk (hereinafter referred to as “HDD”) 207 serving as a mass storage device is connected, and an information terminal such as a personal computer via a network such as a LAN or the Internet. Network interface card (NIC) 202 for accessing the network, communication interfaces (NIC I / F 212, wireless LAN I / F 214) for connecting an unrelated LAN card, and electronic paper 400 that is a non-powered image display device I / O interface to do 221; FAX interface 222 for connecting the FAX module; ECU interface 215 to which the ECU 300 side is connected; CPU 216 serving as a central processing circuit; RAM 217 and ROM 218 serving as storage means; ASIC 220 (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) Each part other than the ASIC 220 is connected to the ASIC 220.

  The ACU 200 controls the stencil printing / accumulation of the stencil printing apparatus 100, accumulates documents transferred via the scanner or network as accumulated documents in the HDD, and stores documents stored in the scanner or HDD via the network. From the transferred document data, plate making data is finally created and then transferred to the ECU 300, and the functions of the present invention mainly belong to the ACU 200.

  The ECU 300 includes a CPU 321 serving as a central processing circuit, a RAM 322 and a ROM 323 serving as storage means, an ACU interface 324 connected to the ECU interface 215 included in the ACU 200, a scanner interface 326 connected to the scanner 110, image area separation and various images. It has an IPP (Image Pre-Processor) 325 that performs correction, a plotter interface 328 to which the plotter 103 is connected, and an ASIC 329, and each part other than the ASIC 329 is connected to the ASIC 329.

  Based on the plate making data created by the ACU 200, the ECU 300 creates a plate-making master by punching the heat-sensitive stencil film 119 of the master, which is a known stencil base paper, by a thermal process using the plotter 103. The master 107 having been subjected to the plate making is wound around the outer peripheral surface of the plate cylinder serving as the printing drum 101, and the printing drum 101 is rotated while the ink is supplied from the ink pack 120 installed in the drum so as to respond to it. A series of operations from plate making to printing of a series of digital stencil printing apparatuses 100 for obtaining a printed product (printed material) by feeding a recording paper (printing paper) 106 to the printer is controlled.

  The stencil printing apparatus 100 may be either a single-sided printing apparatus or a double-sided printing apparatus, but in the present embodiment, it is a double-sided printing apparatus. However, the implementation example of the foreign language word translation function using the color command sheet described in the present embodiment is limited to one based on single-sided reading and single-sided printing in order to emphasize basic movements. .

(Settings and preparation before scanning a document)
First, on the touch panel of the stencil printing apparatus main body, various settings relating to the operation of the make-up function as shown in FIGS. 4 to 7 are made in advance. More specifically, as an example, by selecting an “edit” item from the main menu as shown in FIG. 4, a submenu is displayed for setting the makeup function shown in FIG. Here, what kind of area designation method or marker designation is used, and how the color attribute is used when the marker designation is a color marker is designated.

  If "Monochrome Marker" is specified as the "Marker Specification Method", or "Color Marker" is specified, if the "Edit Document" function is specified using the attribute, the same operation as the conventional make-up function is performed. Will do. The reason why similar functions such as “Monochrome Marker” and “Color Marker”-“Original Editing” are implemented separately is that, for example, the monochrome marker installed in the stencil printing machine is frequently used, and it is faint. This is because the color marker can be used as a substitute for a simple monochrome marker when it is no longer useful.

  In the example shown in FIG. 5, “enclosed line” is used as the “area designation method”, “color marker” is used as the marker, and the color marker functions as “word translation” (translation of other language words). Is set.

  When the word translation function by the color marker is designated, when the “word translation” tab in the lower column of the submenu is selected, another submenu is displayed as shown in FIG. Here, more detailed settings can be made for word translation. That is, it is possible to specify the marker color used in the color command sheet and what kind of translation function is assigned to the used marker.

In the example shown in FIG. 6, among the color markers identified and named black, red, green, and blue, three colors of red, green, and blue are used for the translation function.
-The words in the area marked with the red marker are "translation required", i.e., are to be translated and sent to the translation server.
-Words in the area marked with a green marker are "translation unnecessary", i.e. they are not subject to translation and nothing is done.
The words in the area marked with the blue marker are registered in the “reverse dictionary registration”, that is, in the reverse dictionary 6.

  What should be noted here is the difference between "no translation required" and "reverse dictionary registration". The meaning of "translation unnecessary" used here means "translation is unnecessary because it is not an important (attention) part or a part that you want to have translated". The meaning is that "the meaning of the foreign language word is not necessary to translate because the user already knows or understands it".

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, even if the word whose meaning is known is marked with a green marker, if the word is registered in the reverse dictionary 6, the same result as “not translated” as a result. However, if all the words whose meanings are known are specified one by one, the efficiency and usability are very poor. Therefore, this embodiment does not use such a method.

  Since the black marker is not assigned a translation function, nothing is done even if there is an area marked with the black marker. Further, as one of the translation functions, a function of deleting from the reverse dictionary 6 can be considered.

  Further, the foreign language word designated by the translation unnecessary function may be registered in the reverse dictionary 6 without duplication, but is designated as not an important part or a part that is not desired to be translated. In addition, if there is a word that is not understood by the user and may be a target of translation, it is not translated in the present embodiment because it is not translated thereafter.

  FIG. 6 is a screen of the first page. By selecting “Next” in the figure, a submenu screen of the next page as shown in FIG. 7 is displayed.

  On this screen, it is possible to specify the type of foreign language to be translated, what kind of dictionary is used as the reverse dictionary 6, how the translation result is output, and the like. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 7, it is specified to use a personal reverse dictionary “private # KO.dic”. In the example shown in FIG. 7, only one reverse dictionary 6 is designated, but a plurality of reverse dictionaries can be designated. Further, in the example shown in FIG. 7, the translation result is designated to be made / printed.

  If you want to create / register / delete the reverse dictionary 6 or view / add / change / delete words registered in the reverse dictionary 6, select “Reverse Dictionary Management”. Since a menu is displayed, these processes can be performed in the submenu.

  In this embodiment, it is assumed that the default language translation is “Native language” = “Japanese”, “Other language” = “English”, and the following explanation is limited to these. However, the present invention is not limited to these. Since the reverse dictionary 6 and the translation server 600 can be applied as they are in other native languages / other languages, they are not limited to English translation.

  Further, the identification, naming, and adjustment of each color marker used in the color command sheet 15 are separately set and adjusted for identification in advance by the color marker identification adjustment mechanism.

  On the other hand, in order to perform translation in another language using the make-up function using the color command sheet 15, a document in another language as shown in FIG. 8A and the document as shown in FIG. It is necessary to prepare a color command sheet 15 in which the designated area to be subjected to the translation function is designated with a color marker by a surrounding line or a diagonal line on the same size paper (white paper).

  In the example shown in FIG. 8, the color command sheet 15 designates two areas, one area, and two areas, respectively, using red, green, and blue color markers. Yes. In the example shown in FIG. 8, as described above, since the surrounding line is set as the area designation method, the area is designated by the surrounding line. However, if the designation is changed, a diagonal line may be used. Absent. In addition, in the case of enclosing line specification, it is not limited to a quadrangle and can be specified by a free closed curve.

  In addition, with the conventional make-up function, it is possible to specify whether to perform within the designated area or outside the designated area, for example, when performing shading processing, for example, in-area designation and outside-area designation. However, in the foreign language word translation by the color command sheet 15, it is fixed as the in-area designation.

(Processing by stencil printing machine after reading original)
Regarding the control of the stencil printing apparatus after the above settings and preparations have been made by the user,
Description will be made mainly using the flowcharts of FIGS. 9 to 11 and the explanatory diagrams of FIGS.

  When the user sets the color command sheet 15 and the document on the document table or automatic document feeder (Auto Document Feeder: ADF) of the stencil printing apparatus 100 and then presses the plate making start key (ST101 in FIG. 9). First, a color command sheet is first read (ST102). As a result, color marker color information and information on the position and size of the designated area (area information) are extracted (ST103).

At this time, if a color marker color information or area information extraction error occurs, a warning to that effect is displayed on the touch panel or the like and the operation is terminated. In the example of the flowchart shown in FIG. Parts related to processing are omitted. The following explanations are also not included in the flowchart and are not described because they do not constitute the main requirements of this case, although processing to deal with various errors that occur when various types of processing are performed is necessary. .

  On the other hand, if the designated area is normally extracted, the foreign language original is subsequently read (ST104), and image area separation processing is further performed on the read original (ST105).

  As a result of performing the image area separation process, a portion regarded as a character area is converted into text, so-called OCR (Optical Character Recognition) process is performed (ST106).

  Then, the text word is classified (categorized) for each designated color marker (ST107).

  However, words that are not specified (not belonging to) any color marker are implicitly classified into the second translation candidate category. Incidentally, the category of the first translation candidate is a word (group) whose area is designated by the red marker described above, and is unconditionally translated. Whichever candidate word is used, in order to output the translation result, not only the word but also information such as the word position and the word occupation size is held in cooperation when categorized.

  Thereafter, the categorized words (group) are processed according to the translation function assigned to each color marker (ST108).

  A more detailed operation of the translation function process will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

  First, the word (group) in the area designated by the green marker is assigned a translation function of “no translation required” (ST201 in FIG. 10), so nothing is done and the word (group) belonging to this category is not processed. Data is discarded (ST202).

  The words (groups) in the area designated by the blue marker are assigned the reverse dictionary registration translation function (ST201), so they are sorted and registered in the reverse dictionary 6 designated above (ST203). However, duplicates are not registered.

  FIG. 12 shows an example of the contents of the reverse dictionary 6. Even if it is called the reverse dictionary 6, the content is a text file in which foreign language words that do not require translation are listed. However, since it is a text file, it can be easily viewed and edited with an editor, and is stored in a portable memory so that it can be used when other stencil printing apparatuses 100 are used.

  In addition, since the word (group) in the area designated by the red marker is assigned the translation function of “necessary translation” (ST201), it is directly sent to the LAN or the Internet via the communication means of the stencil printing apparatus 100. Translation is requested to the connected translation server 600 (ST205, ST206).

  The word (group) of the second translation candidate that does not belong to any color marker category (ST201) is first referred to as the reverse dictionary 6, and is excluded from translation if it is registered in the reverse dictionary 6. Therefore, the data related to the word becomes unnecessary and is discarded (ST204).

  The second translation candidate word (group) remaining to the end is thereafter requested to be translated by the translation server 600 in the same manner as the first translation candidate (ST205, ST206).

  That is, the translation function process designated by the red marker is sent to the translation process regardless of whether it is registered in the reverse dictionary 6, but the foreign language word not designated by any marker is Although it is basically entered as a translation candidate word, a word registered in the reverse dictionary is regarded as a translation unnecessary and is excluded from the translation candidate. In addition, articles such as a and the and prepositions such as of and at that have little meaning in themselves are excluded from the translation candidates even though they are not registered in the reverse dictionary 6.

  Translation server 600 translates the accepted word (s) (ST207) and returns the translation result to stencil printing apparatus 100 again (ST208, ST209).

  In this way, the pre-processing using the reverse dictionary 6 is performed before the translation request, and the user (translation requester) is translated / displayed / printed for each person who understands the meaning of the other language. When you are free from the annoyance or charge for the external translation service (paid service), for example, in the pay-as-you-go system such as word-number-based billing, you will bother to charge for words that you know This is to eliminate economic waste such as translation.

  Moreover, although these reverse dictionaries 6 can be used as reverse dictionaries 6 common to users, each user can have them individually, so that they can correspond to the skill level of each user in another language.

  In this embodiment, the translation engine is not provided in the stencil printing apparatus 100 by itself. This is because an external translation server 600 or a translation that reflects the latest translation technology that progresses day by day, rather than keeping the firmware of the stencil printing apparatus 100 bloated and continuing to use the obsolete built-in translation engine. This is because it is more practical and useful to use the engine. For this reason, in this embodiment, when translating into another language, the part related to the substantial translation process is delegated to the external translation server or the translation engine, and is focused on the pre-process part before delegation.

  Further, which translation server 600 the stencil printing apparatus 100 uses is managed by a customer support center related to the stencil printing apparatus 100, a manufacturer of the stencil printing apparatus 100, a maintenance service company of the stencil printing apparatus 100, or the like. Determined by the Web service server that serves as the window. That is, only the URL of the Web service server to be connected as a request window is registered in the stencil printing apparatus 100. If you want to use the foreign language translation function, connect to the URL of the window Web service and receive the service you want to receive Type (in this embodiment, a foreign language (English) word translation function) and data necessary for the service (in this embodiment, a foreign language word to be translated) are entered.

  The window Web service server that has received the request determines which Web service server is to be used (can be used) according to the requested service type, requests the determined Web service server for the processing, and related Send the data to be processed (after data conversion if necessary). The reception of the service provision result by the Web service server is performed by following this flow in reverse.

  In this case, the Web service server that finally provides the foreign language word translation function is not directly designated by the stencil printing apparatus 100, but has two stages through the request window, which provides substantial services. When the URL of the Web service server is changed, or the service provided by the Web server is changed or abolished, it is not only complicated to let the user or maintenance support engineer handle the change, This is because such a direct designation method lacks flexibility as a service providing system.

  Thus, the foreign language word translation function processing for each color marker is performed (ST108 in FIG. 9), and the obtained translation result is processed by the output method designated by the foreign language word translation designation means (FIG. 9). 9 ST109).

  A more detailed operation of the translation result output process will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

  When the output method designated by the foreign language word translation designation means is plate making / printing (ST301 in FIG. 11), the foreign language manuscript and the translation result are laid out (synthesized) for printed matter, and further converted into image data for plate making. (ST302) After master making a plate to generate a plate (ST303), printing is performed (ST304).

  FIG. 13 shows a plate making / printing output example of the translation result. In the example shown in FIG. 13, the translation result of a word (first translation candidate) directly designated as a translation required or a word that does not exist in the reverse dictionary 6 as a second translation candidate is included in the image to be made / printed. Layout composition is performed such that it is inserted between lines of a document.

  The reason why layout composition is performed in the case of plate making / printing output is that, unlike other methods described later, supplies such as masters and paper are consumed in plate making / printing processing. In particular, the cost ratio of the master in the plate-making / printing process is high, and if the plate-making / printing is performed separately for the foreign language original and the translation result, the cost increases. In addition, the plate making / printing process can provide the cost merit only by printing a large number of sheets, but in the case of output of the translation result, it is not very suitable as a mass printing application, and the cost merit This is because it is necessary to make the information for plate making and printing as compact as possible together.

  When the output method is document accumulation (ST301), the foreign language manuscript and the translation result are laid out for document accumulation, and further converted into a data format for document accumulation (ST305), and then the data is saved (ST306).

  When the output method is portable memory storage (ST301), the foreign language manuscript and the translation result are laid out for portable memory storage (ST310) and stored as an electronic file (ST311).

  When saving to a portable memory, the file format becomes a problem. If the use of other language manuscript and translation result information is closed between the same type of stencil printing system, it can be saved in a file format that can only be handled by the same type of stencil printing device (for example, the document storage format described above). Of course, if you use a computer (PC) to view and reuse it, you need to save it in a general-purpose image format such as JPEG or a de facto document format such as PDF. In the present embodiment, the latter method is adopted.

  In addition, when storing in the above-mentioned document storage or portable memory, designation of a file name or the like is separately performed in a submenu (not shown).

  Furthermore, as described above, when the foreign language manuscript and the translation result are converted into a document format such as PDF, in this embodiment, the data is stored in the portable memory. It is also possible to add a message, attach the electronic file to an e-mail, and deliver it to a destination designated by a delivery means such as a mailer.

  When the output method is electronic paper display (ST301), the foreign language manuscript and the translation result are laid out for electronic paper, converted into a data format for electronic paper (ST307), and written to electronic paper 400 (ST308). On the other hand, electronic paper 400 displays the written data (ST309).

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, even when the image forming engine has a monochrome base and a configuration / specification in which a color scanner is mounted, the potential of the color scanner can be extracted and fully utilized. More specifically, the stencil printing system 1 according to the present embodiment can be applied to a foreign language word translation process.

In the present embodiment, as described above, the foreign language word translation function corresponding to the color of each color marker includes a translation function for translating a foreign language word designated by the specific color marker, and a specific color marker. There is a non-translation function that excludes the foreign language word specified in, and a reverse dictionary registration function that registers the foreign language word specified by a specific color marker in the reverse dictionary, so various functions related to the foreign language word translation function are colored. It can be distributed and executed for each marker, and it becomes possible to perform flexible and efficient translation processing of other languages. For example, if there is no special designation,
Because the default language is the most frequently used case in daily work, such as Japanese as the native language and English as the foreign language, the native language / There is no hassle of setting a foreign language.

  In the present embodiment, since the reverse dictionary 6 is a text file, the reverse dictionary 6 stored in a recording device such as the flash ROM 217 fixed and built in the stencil printing apparatus 100 is stored on the portable memory. Processing to write out and vice versa are possible. For this reason, the portability of the reverse dictionary 6 can be improved, and when the use is limited to only a specific stencil printing apparatus 100, the reverse dictionary 6 stored in the portable memory is stencil printed. Moving to the storage device of the device 100 eliminates the trouble of carrying and mounting the portable memory, which can contribute to labor saving.

<Second Embodiment>
Next, a second embodiment will be described. Note that the same or similar parts as those in the above-described embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and unless otherwise specified, description of the configuration and functions described above will be omitted, and only the main part will be described (in other embodiments below) The same).

  The stencil printing system 1 of the present embodiment is the same as that shown in the first embodiment, but the realization method of the reverse dictionary 6 is different.

  FIG. 14 shows an example of another implementation of the reverse dictionary 6. The reverse dictionary 6 shown in the first embodiment is a plain text file in which foreign language words that do not require translation are listed. In this embodiment, the reverse dictionary 6 is a text file in XML format. Even in such an implementation method, the format is defined, but since the basic format is a text file, it can be easily viewed and edited, and further stored in a portable memory so that it can be used when other stencil printing apparatuses 100 are used. Excellent portability.

  In this embodiment, only the tag <word> that stores the word is described, so the storage capacity increases by the number of the tag, but the tag that holds the number of hits without requiring translation or the latest tag It is possible to prepare a tag with the date and time of hitting and expand it to be useful for maintenance of the reverse dictionary 6.

  Furthermore, in the first embodiment and the second embodiment, the word designated as the translation requirement and the reverse dictionary 6 do not basically interfere with each other. However, as another example of the operation of the reverse dictionary 6, the translation requirement is required. If the word specified in is in the reverse dictionary 6 (that is, the user who has registered in the reverse dictionary 6 has already forgotten its meaning and registration itself), the reverse dictionary 6 Processing for deleting the registered word may be incorporated.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the reverse dictionary 6 uses the word marker registration, word input by a spelling direct input from the touch panel for operating the stencil printing apparatus 100, a plain text file, an XML format editor, etc. Can be registered / deleted / changed. For this reason, the contents of the reverse dictionary 6 can be browsed freely, and the contents can be freely registered, deleted, and changed.

<Third Embodiment>
Next, a third embodiment will be described.

  The stencil printing system 1 of this embodiment is the same as that shown in the first embodiment, but the method for realizing the translation result output is different.

  In the present embodiment, “electronic paper display” is designated as the translation result output in FIG. 7, and a foreign language document is displayed on one screen of the two-screen electronic paper 400 as shown in FIG. The translation result is displayed on the other screen. By using such a two-screen type electronic paper 400, it is possible to display the other language manuscript as it is, and display the translation result at a position corresponding to the other language manuscript on the other screen. It is possible to give freedom to the resulting space and layout, and it is possible to display an image that is attractive, easy to see, and easy to understand.

  For example, when the user is an elderly person or a low vision person, a measure such as enlarging the character font for displaying the translation result can be taken, so that the effect can be expected from the viewpoint of universal design. Furthermore, when the electronic paper 400 is a built-in speaker type, it may be possible to read out the foreign language sentence (English) or the foreign language word (English word) using the reading function.

  Similarly, in the case of a two-screen type display terminal, one of which is an electronic paper 400 and the other is a touch panel liquid crystal, based on this embodiment, for example, in FIG. When the other translation result is displayed, when you want to supplementarily check a word that does not match the translation result or a word that has been missed by the reverse dictionary 6 but has already forgotten its meaning, either It is also conceivable that the screen is switched to a dictionary application or a dictionary search page on the Internet, and the word or the like is directly input by pen input or key input, and is searched and displayed to check.

  Furthermore, one screen is used for applications related to the original foreign language word translation function, such as displaying the translation result, and the other screen is a guide or work procedure for using the foreign language word translation function of this embodiment. In the case of using the electronic paper 400, it is possible to adopt a processing configuration such as displaying a still image and displaying a moving image in the case of a touch panel liquid crystal.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the display device of the translation result display / storing means is a two-screen type non-powered image display device, that is, the electronic paper 400. Therefore, the other language original is displayed on one display surface. Since the translation of other language words is displayed on the other display surface, the master / printing paper is not consumed in the display of the translation result as compared with the plate making / printing method, thereby saving resources. Compared to the method of combining and displaying the translation result of the other language manuscript and the translation result, it is possible to adopt a free layout and expression method that is independent from the other language manuscript, and the line space and empty space of the other language manuscript. It is also freed from the difficulty of seeing by putting the translation result into.

<Fourth Embodiment>
Next, a fourth embodiment will be described.

  The stencil printing system 1 of the present embodiment is the same as that shown in the first embodiment, but the method for realizing reverse dictionary designation is different.

  In the first embodiment, the user-specific reverse dictionary 6 is used as the reverse dictionary 6. However, when the reverse dictionary designation portion is selected in the word translation menu of FIG. 7, a submenu as shown in FIG. Is opened. Here, it is possible to specify whether or not to use the reverse dictionary 6 and, if used, a reverse dictionary 6 prepared in advance or a reverse dictionary 6 specified by the user. In the example shown in FIG. 16, as the reverse dictionary 6 prepared in advance, English words essential for English education in school education courses such as junior high school and high school are collected for each course level, We have prepared a collection of English words for each level, such as grade or score, that are used as a guideline for tests and certifications conducted by publicly accredited institutions / organizations such as TOEIC. This indicates that the reverse dictionary 6 is designated.

  As a result, the foreign language word registered in the reverse dictionary 6, in the example shown in FIG. 16, the foreign language word (English word) at the level up to the third grade of junior high school is sent before the translation request to the translation server 600. Processing is excluded as no translation is required.

  In the present embodiment, if there is a contradiction between the setting to use / do not use the reverse dictionary 6 and the translation function assignment in FIG. 6 or the like, for example, although the reverse dictionary 6 is set not to be used. When an attempt is made to set reverse dictionary registration with the translation function, an exclusive control such as warning display or grayout is applied.

  In addition, in the case where a plurality of reverse dictionaries 6 are specified, for example, when a junior high school 1st year level and a junior high school 3rd year level are specified, in this embodiment, the upper level is basically prioritized. As a result, the reverse dictionary 6 at the third grade of junior high school is applied.

  However, since this depends on the recording configuration of the reverse dictionary 6, it cannot be said unconditionally. That is, if the reverse dictionary 6 at the junior high school third grade level includes the contents (words) of the reverse dictionary 6 at the junior high school first grade level to the junior high school level, the actual junior high school first grade level level is required. There is no meaning of designation, and as mentioned above, it can be handled as if it is a product set, but if it is a recording configuration only of independent contents (words) for each grade, the operation is somewhat strange, It must be handled as a union.

  In the present embodiment, the reverse dictionary 6 prepared in advance includes a junior high school 1st to 3rd year level and an Eiken 5th to 3rd level, but is not limited thereto.

  Furthermore, in the “other designation” item of FIG. 16, the user-specific reverse dictionary 6 or an external dictionary can be designated. That is, in the first embodiment, the user individually generates and registers from the “reverse dictionary management” item in FIG. 7 on a submenu (not shown), and the recording device such as the flash ROM 217 of the stencil printing apparatus 100. The reverse dictionary 6 stored in is specified.

  In addition, the reverse dictionary 6 stored in the portable memory mounted in the slot of the stencil printing apparatus 100 can be designated. Thereby, the common reverse dictionary 6 can be used also in different stencil printing systems 1.

  Naturally, the process of writing the reverse dictionary 6 stored in the recording device such as the flash ROM 217 of the stencil printing apparatus 100 onto the portable memory and the reverse process are also supported by the “reverse dictionary management” item. .

  Thus, in this embodiment, the reverse dictionary 6 can be owned and used by each user, stored in a portable memory, or used from any stencil printing apparatus 100. Therefore, the reverse dictionary 6 can be generated and specified according to the language skill of the individual user, and the language of the individual user can be selected to select whether or not the specified reverse dictionary 6 translates other language words. It is possible to provide a foreign language word translation function according to the skill. Further, since the reverse dictionary 6 stored in the portable memory can be used, it is not necessary to prepare the reverse dictionary 6 for each stencil printing apparatus, and the same reverse dictionary 6 is used without depending on the stencil printing apparatus 100. Can do.

  In the present embodiment, the reverse dictionary 6 is a collection of English words essential for English education in the school curriculum such as junior high school, high school, etc. for each curriculum level, or an official accreditation organization such as Eiken or TOEIC. / Use at least one of the dictionaries prepared in advance, such as a collection of English words for each level such as grade or score, which is used as a guideline for tests and tests conducted by the organization. Therefore, it is possible to specify the reverse dictionary 6 according to the language skills of individual users, and to select whether or not the specified reverse dictionary 6 translates other language words. It is possible to provide a foreign language word translation function according to the language skills of Further, it is not necessary for the user to generate the reverse dictionary 6 himself, which contributes to labor saving. In addition, when the existing reverse dictionary 6 is made so as to be freely customized by the user, it becomes more flexible and expandable.

<Fifth Embodiment>
Next, a fifth embodiment will be described.

  A stencil printing system 1 of this embodiment is shown in FIGS. This embodiment is almost the same as that shown in the first embodiment, but two electronic papers 400A and 400B are integrated and attached as a part of the exterior of the stencil printing apparatus 100. The difference is that the part related to billing is added.

  More specifically, the stencil printing system 1 of the present embodiment is configured to set whether or not to charge for the use of the stencil printing system 1, and to set a weight and set a fee for each function of the stencil printing system. Charge setting means 10 (touch panel 115) for setting a threshold value is provided.

  Further, in the stencil printing system 1 of the present embodiment, when the charging setting unit 10 is set to charge for the use of the stencil printing system 1, and the charging condition is satisfied A billing unit 11 (external billing device 19) that performs billing processing according to a predetermined rate is provided.

  Further, in the stencil printing system 1 of the present embodiment, when the billing setting unit 11 is set to charge for the use of the stencil printing system 1, for example, scanning of other language documents to other language words When the translation to the plate making / printing of the translation result is regarded as a series of operations (jobs), the scanning function, the foreign language word translation function, the plate making function, and the printing function used are assigned in advance by the accounting setting unit and weighted. The integrated value of the counted value is calculated, the calculated integrated value is compared with a threshold value set in advance by the charging setting means, and when the integrated value exceeds the threshold value, it is considered that the charging condition is satisfied, There is provided control means 9 (control unit 20 of the stencil printing apparatus) for controlling the charging means to perform charging processing according to a predetermined rate.

  In each of the above parts, the realizing means are shown in parentheses.

  Further, in this embodiment, the stencil printing system 1 is installed in a place where general users such as convenience stores can freely enter and exit, and a business model that performs billing processing (collection of usage fees) depending on the degree of use. Shall be applied.

  Then, the stencil printing system 1 is set in advance by the administrator of the stencil printing system 1 or the owner of the stencil printing system 1 as shown in FIGS. And so on.

  In FIG. 20, the “other language word translation function” item is set to “allow”, but this is a default setting, and the “external billing” item is set to “do not” in the default setting. It has changed. This is a natural consequence of the business model assumed in this embodiment.

  On the other hand, the meaning of being able to select “not allowed” in the “translation function for foreign language words” item is, for example, when the installation location of the stencil printing system 1 is a school, etc. This is necessary to prevent students from improperly trying to translate their textbooks.

  Further, in the present embodiment, a mechanism for performing access control is already available from the conventional stencil printing system 1 so that an administrator authority is required to change the setting menu for the administrator as the menu. Is provided. For this reason, in this embodiment, by combining these mechanisms, the foreign language translation function can be flexibly operated.

  Further, FIG. 21 is a part related to charging. In the example shown in FIG. 21, the points are set as shown in the drawing for each function as the charging threshold value and 10 points as the use function weighting.

  Note that the charging threshold, the listed functions, and their weights shown in FIG. 21 are examples, and are not limited to these.

  Further, in the stencil printing system 1 of the first embodiment, after performing the plate making operation, an operation of wrapping the plate making master around the plate cylinder, which is called test printing or plate printing, is performed to pause or continue printing. In the stencil printing system 1 of the present embodiment, before starting the plate making operation, an image to be stenciled from now on is displayed on the electronic paper 400 mounted on the exterior of the stencil printing apparatus 100 to confirm the user. After obtaining the approval, plate making and printing operations are performed (ST401 to ST408 in FIG. 23). Also in this point, the present embodiment is different from the stencil printing system 1 of the first embodiment.

  This is different from a copying apparatus such as PPC. The stencil printing apparatus 100 requires a so-called plate for image formation, and the cost of the master used to form the plate is high. It is costly to cancel or redo the work.

  In the present embodiment, in the stencil printing system 1 applied to such a business model, document storage and electronic paper display are deleted or cannot be selected as output destination options for the translation result output.

  This is because it is unnatural that the user accumulates the translation result as an accumulated document in the stencil printing apparatus 100, and such a use cannot be assumed. However, the stencil printing system 1 has a storage service function using a built-in magnetic disk device (HDD), and a business model of providing services to general users is also conceivable. In addition, as described above, the electronic paper display is displayed to obtain the user's confirmation / approval before plate making / printing as described above, so it is necessary to specify it as the output destination again. It is also because there is no sex.

  For example, in the stencil printing system 1 set as described above, if the user performs a foreign language word translation as performed in the first embodiment, the scanning of the color command sheet 15 is one point, and the original is scanned. Is 1 point, translation is 5 points, trial printing (preview) on electronic paper is 1 point, plate making is 7 points, printing is 3 points, so the integrated value of the functions used is 18 points in total The threshold value 10 is exceeded. Accordingly, billing processing is performed (ST110 and ST111 in FIG. 22).

  In addition, although printing is 3 points, this is a point when the print output is selected, and it can be said that it is a basic point. What is actually charged is that the additional points corresponding to the number of printed sheets are added, so it does not mean that no matter how much printing is performed, 3 points remain. Needless to say, if the same thing is done with respect to a plurality of originals, a plurality of originals are taken into consideration.

  The amount of money and the rate that are actually imposed on the aforementioned basic points and pay-as-you-go points is determined by the discretion in the design of the stencil printing system 1 or the setting in the business model. In addition, since it does not constitute the main requirement of the present invention, the description is omitted.

  According to this embodiment, in the general usage of the stencil printing system 1, that is, in the usage of scanning and making a plate, printing is 1 point for scanning, 7 points for plate making, 3 points for printing, Since the charging threshold is already exceeded at this point, the charging process is performed. This is a copy machine such as a PPC installed in a convenience store, and offers a copy function to the user and charges it as a price or collects a usage fee. .

  However, for example, in the translation into other languages, the color command sheet 15 scans 1 point, the original scan 1 point, the translation 5 points, the trial print (preview) on the electronic paper 1 point, and the portable memory of the translation result In the case of use such as 1 point of storage, the total becomes 9 points and does not exceed the charging threshold, so the user can receive a translation service substantially free of charge. Alternatively, the same can be applied to the case where the data is sent to the user himself / herself or to any distribution destination by electronic mail instead of being stored in the portable memory.

  In the case of using the stencil printing system 1 without consumption of such supplies, the substantial cost is borne by the convenience store side, and by providing a free service even if limited, the effect of attracting customers You can also take a business model, such as aiming for.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the functions of the stencil printing system 1 can be freely weighted, and further, the presence / absence of charging can be determined based on the threshold value, so that a flexible business model can be constructed.

  If the translation service is charged, charging and settlement will be required separately. Therefore, the stencil printing system 1 may not be charged individually. However, in such a case, a mechanism for leaving a log of the stencil printing system 1 is necessary in order to leave evidence of a translation request.

  Further, when the translation server 600 adds an advertisement of the translation server 600 to the translation processing result or permits the advertisement to be transferred, a discount fee is applied in the billing process of the stencil printing system 1. You may take a fee structure like this.

  In this way, in this embodiment, it is possible to impose an appropriate fee (including free) for each function (service) of the stencil printing system 1 as well as the foreign language word translation function, Enables the provision and creation of new business models. In addition, since the weighting and threshold value for each function for charging can be set freely, a flexible charging system can be achieved.

  The processing operation in the above-described embodiment can be executed by hardware, software, or a combined configuration of both.

  When processing by software is executed, the program is loaded from a ROM (Read Only Memory) storing a program recording a processing sequence to a memory (RAM) in a computer incorporated in dedicated hardware. The program can be read and executed, or the program can be installed and executed on a general-purpose computer capable of executing various processes.

  For example, the program can be recorded in advance on a hard disk or ROM as a recording medium. Alternatively, the program is stored on a removable recording medium such as a magnetic disk such as a floppy (registered trademark) disk, an optical disk such as a CD (Compact Disc) or DVD (Digital Versatile Disc), or a magneto-optical disk such as an MO (Magneto Optical) disk. It is possible to store (record) temporarily or permanently.

  Such a removable recording medium can be provided as so-called package software.

  The program is installed on the computer from the above-described removable recording medium, transferred wirelessly from the download site to the computer, or transferred to the computer via a network such as a LAN (Local Area Network) or the Internet. On the other hand, the computer can receive the transferred program and install it on a recording medium such as a built-in hard disk.

  In addition to being executed in time series in accordance with the processing operations described in the above embodiment, the processing capability of the apparatus that executes the processing, or a configuration to execute in parallel or individually as necessary Is also possible.

  In addition, the system described in the above embodiment can be configured to have a logical set configuration of a plurality of devices or to mix the functions of each device.

  The present invention has been described above by the preferred embodiments of the present invention. While the invention has been described with reference to specific embodiments thereof, various modifications and changes can be made to these embodiments without departing from the broader spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the claims. is there.

  The stencil printing system according to the present invention further includes storage means for storing an inverse dictionary in which words that are not translated are registered, and the translation means is specified by the first color analyzed by the analysis means. Of the words in this area, only words that are not registered in the reverse dictionary may be translated.
