  The display unit 47 includes a display device such as a liquid crystal display. The operation unit 48 includes an operation input device such as a keyboard and a mouse.

  In the embodiment of the present invention, the CPU 41 executes the printer driver program to extract change information whose change contents match a predetermined extraction condition from the change history.

  Next, a case where a change history is instructed will be described with a specific example.

  FIG. 4 shows a print driver screen 100 displayed on the display unit 47 by the printer driver when document data is printed. The print driver screen 100 is displayed, for example, in response to an operation related to a print instruction in a document creation application that edits a document. Here, it is assumed that document data corresponding to a document that has been edited by the document creation application when the print driver screen 100 is displayed has already been specified as document data to be printed.

  On the print driver screen 100, the user can specify a printing machine that performs printing, change the number of copies, specify a print target range in document data, and the like. When the user selects the print target range determination column 101, a document, a change history, and a comment are displayed as options for the print target range. The printer driver determines the print target range based on the option selected by the user.

  When a change history is designated as the print target range, the printer driver of the client terminal 40 extracts change information that matches a predetermined extraction condition from the change history. The predetermined extraction condition can be set by the user. For example, it is set that the change amount is a predetermined amount or more. The setting of the predetermined extraction condition will be described later. Next, a specific example of the change history and extracted change information will be described with reference to FIGS.

  FIG. 5 shows a change history 70 which is an example of a change history. The change history 70 includes change information 71 to 77. The change information 71 to 77 is change information indicating that insertion or deletion has been performed.

  Each change information (change information 71 to 77) includes a page number where the change was made, a change pattern (refer to FIG. 8, indicating whether insertion, deletion, or format change was performed), and the name of the user who instructed the change. (Creator), date and time when the change was made, and detailed change contents (substantial change contents such as contents inserted or deleted in FIG. 5).

  Specific contents of each of the change information 71 to 77 will be described. The change information 71 indicates that two characters “Table 2” are inserted, the change information 72 indicates that two characters “Table 2” are deleted, and the change information 73 indicates that one character “.” Is inserted. The change information 74 indicates that a page break has been inserted. The change information 75 indicates that five lines of text have been inserted. The change information 76 indicates that a page break has been inserted. The change information 77 indicates that the figure has been inserted.

  FIG. 6 shows a change that matches the extraction conditions from the change history 70 shown in FIG. 5 when the change amount is set to be a predetermined amount or more as an extraction condition or a change related to the drawing. A change history 70A, which is a result of extracting information, is shown. The change history 70 </ b> A includes change information 75 whose change content is insertion of five lines of text and change information 77 which is insertion of a figure. The change information 71 to 74, 76 is excluded without being extracted because the change amount is smaller than the predetermined amount and is not a change according to the figure. The client terminal 40 can output the extracted change history 70A that matches the extraction condition among the change histories 70 included in the document data.

  In this way, the client terminal 40 outputs a change history excluding change information that does not match a predetermined extraction condition. When the change amount is a predetermined amount or more as an extraction condition, for example, it is possible to output a change history excluding minor change information such as correction of typographical characters and omissions and page breaks. Therefore, it is possible to output a change history excluding change information that is not of interest to the user, such as correction of typographical errors and omissions, and page breaks.

  FIG. 7 shows a change history 80 that is an example of a change history when the format is changed. When the format is changed, the changed format is displayed as the detailed change content of each change information. FIG. 7 shows a change history 80 displayed when a format change to change the font color to red and a format change to change the font to bold.

  Next, information included in the change information will be described. The client terminal 40 extracts change information that matches a predetermined extraction condition by comparing information included in the change information with the extraction condition. FIG. 8 shows information included in the change information. The change information includes a page number 91, a change category 92, a change pattern 93, and a change target 94.

  The page number 91 indicates the page number of the changed part. The change category 92 indicates the type of change location. Specifically, it indicates whether the changed part is a document (denoted as a main document in the figure) or a comment, a header and footer, a text box, a pedestal, or an endnote.

  The change pattern 93 indicates whether the change information corresponds to insertion, deletion, or format change. The change target 94 indicates whether the change target is a word (word), a sentence (sentence), an image (photo) or a table (image / table), or a page break. In the embodiment of the present invention, it is distinguished whether the change related to the image is a change related to a photograph or a change related to a table.

  When the CPU 41 accepts a document data change operation by the document creation application, the CPU 41 specifies and specifies each information of the page number 91, the change category 92, the change pattern 93, and the change target 94 based on the change operation. The information is included in the change information and recorded as a change history.

  When extracting change information that matches a predetermined extraction condition from the change history, the CPU 41 examines information constituting each change information and extracts change information having the corresponding information.

  Next, the setting of extraction conditions will be described. 9A and 9B show examples of screens displayed on the display unit 47 when the extraction condition is set. 9A and 9B are displayed, for example, when a predetermined operation is performed on the printer driver.

  In the screen of FIG. 9A, the change category 92 is designated as an extraction condition. When the specification (selection) of the change category 92 is received from the user on the screen of FIG. 9A, the client terminal 40 determines the change information changed in the specified change category as the change information to be extracted. To do. For example, when a change category of a document (denoted as a main document in the figure) or a comment is specified, change information relating to the change made in the document and the comment is determined as change information to be extracted. A plurality of change categories to be extracted may be designated.

  In the screen of FIG. 9B, the change target 94 is designated as an extraction condition. When accepting specification (selection) of a change target from the user on the screen of FIG. 9B, the client terminal 40 determines change information in which the change of the specified target is performed as extraction target change information.

  In the embodiment of the present invention, among the change information included in the change history, both the change category 92 specified on the screen of FIG. 9A and the change target 94 specified on the screen of FIG. 9B. Extract change information that conforms to

  It should be noted that the change contents may be individually specified for each selected change category. For example, the change target 94 can be designated as “sentence” for the change category 92 of “main document”, and the change target 94 can be designated as “word” for categories other than “main sentence”.

  FIG. 10 shows a flowchart of processing for extracting change information whose change content matches a predetermined extraction condition when the printer driver of the client terminal 40 outputs a change history of document data. The CPU 41 executes the process shown in the flowchart of FIG. 10 by executing the printer driver recorded in the hard disk device 45.

  First, when receiving a print instruction operation, the CPU 41 opens a print setting screen as shown in FIG. 4 (step S101).

  Next, when the change history is designated as the print target range on the print setting screen as shown in FIG. 4, the setting of the extraction condition is accepted (step S102). Here, designation of the change category 92 and the change target 94 is accepted as the extraction condition.

  Next, the change information having the information of the change category 92 specified as the extraction condition in step S102 is extracted from the change history of the document data specified in step S101 (step S103).

  Of the change information extracted in step S103, it is determined whether the change target matches the change target 94 set as the extraction condition in step S102 (step S104).

  If there is change information in which the word or sentence has been changed (step S105; Yes), the change information is deleted or suspended (step S106) according to the extraction condition set in step S102, and the process proceeds to step S107. Specifically, if a word or sentence is set as the extraction condition, change information related to the set change is extracted. For example, if only the sentence is set as the extraction condition, the change information related to the change of the sentence is suspended, and the change information related to the change of the word is deleted. If the word or sentence is not set as the extraction condition, the change information related to the change of the word or sentence is deleted. This process is performed for all the change information indicating the change of the word and the document among the change information extracted in step S103.

  If there is no change information that changes the word or sentence (step S105; No), the process proceeds to step S107. In step S107, it is checked whether there is change information obtained by changing an image (photograph) or a table. If there is change information obtained by changing the image or the table (step S107; Yes), the change information is deleted or suspended (step S108) according to the extraction condition set in step S102, and the process proceeds to step S109. Specifically, if an image and a table are set as extraction conditions, change information related to the change of the image and table is suspended. If the image and table are not set as extraction conditions, the change information related to the change of the image and table is deleted. This process is performed for all the change information indicating the change of the image and the table among the change information extracted in step S103.

  If there is no change information for changing the image or table (step S107; No), the process proceeds to step S109. In step S109, it is checked whether there is change information in which other changes have been made. In the embodiment, insertion and deletion of page breaks are other changes. If there is change information in which other changes have been made (step S109; Yes), the change information is deleted or suspended (step S110) in accordance with the extraction condition set in step S102, and the process proceeds to step S111. Specifically, if the page break is set as the extraction condition, the change information related to the insertion and deletion of the page break is suspended. If the page break is not set as the extraction condition, the change information related to the insertion or deletion of the page break is deleted. This process is performed for all change information indicating insertion / deletion of page breaks in the change information extracted in step S103.

  If there is no change information for other changes (step S109; No), the process proceeds to step S111. In step S111, the pending change information is output. Thereafter, this process is terminated. Specifically, print data is created from the pending change information, and the print data and a print instruction for the print data are transmitted to the image forming apparatus 10. When receiving the print data and the print instruction, the image forming apparatus 10 performs printing based on the print data according to the print instruction.

  The predetermined extraction condition may be set more finely. FIG. 11 shows an extraction condition detail designation screen 102 which is an example of a screen displayed on the display unit 47 when detailed setting of extraction conditions is performed.

  In the extraction condition detail designation screen 102, in addition to setting a standard for distinguishing between words and sentences, a character style change (format change), a figure, a graphic (graphic) replacement, a graphic style change (color and decoration), a line It is possible to set whether or not to extract change information that has been inserted / deleted.

  In the figure, it is determined that if the number of characters changed at the same position is 7 or more, it is determined that the sentence is changed, and if it is 6 characters or less, it is determined that the word is changed. When character style change (format change) or figure style change (color or decoration) is set as an extraction condition, change information related to text and figure format change is also extracted as change information that matches the extraction condition. The

  In FIG. 11, when the change amount related to at least one of deletion and insertion with respect to one change location in the document is equal to or greater than a predetermined amount, both the deletion change information and the insertion change information with respect to the change location are extracted. Can be set to. For example, when it is set to extract change information that has been changed by 4 characters or more, the change information of the changed portion in which 2 characters are deleted and 5 characters are inserted is changed as well as the change information of 5 characters insertion The change information for deleting two characters whose amount is less than four characters is also extracted. If not set, only change information whose change amount is greater than or equal to a predetermined amount is extracted from the deletion change information and the insertion change information. In addition, when performing the process of extracting change information when this setting is performed, the change information of insertion and the change information of deletion are collected for each change place, and whether or not any change amount is a predetermined amount or more. Investigate. If either change amount is equal to or greater than the predetermined amount, both change information is suspended.

  As described above, in the printing system 5, the client terminal 40 transmits a print job for printing the document change history to the image forming apparatus 10. At that time, change information whose change contents match a predetermined extraction condition is extracted from the change history, and only the extracted change information is output to the image forming apparatus 10 as a print job. As a result, only important change information can be extracted from the change history of the document data and printed. The extraction conditions described in the embodiment of the present invention are examples, and other conditions may be used as the extraction conditions.

  The embodiment of the present invention has been described with reference to the drawings. However, the specific configuration is not limited to that shown in the embodiment, and there are changes and additions within the scope of the present invention. Are also included in the present invention.

  In the embodiment of the present invention, the client terminal 40 has been described as an example of the change history output device, but the change history output device may have other forms. For example, a print server may be used. In this case, a PC terminal that transmits the change history and the extraction condition is provided separately from the print server that is the change history output device. When the PC terminal accepts designation of the change history as the print range from the user and accepts the setting of the extraction condition, the PC terminal transmits the data of the designated print range and the extraction condition to the print server. When receiving the change history and the extraction condition, the print server extracts the change information that matches the extraction condition and transmits it to the image forming apparatus 10 as print data. Note that the print server may transmit and display a setting screen for setting extraction conditions and the like on the PC terminal.

  In the embodiment of the present invention, change information that matches a predetermined extraction condition can also be extracted from change information related to format change, but a change that matches a predetermined extraction condition only from change information related to deletion and insertion Information may be extracted.

  In the embodiment of the present invention, the extracted change information is output by printing, but the means for outputting is not limited to this. You may output by the display to a display apparatus (display part).

  Also, the change amount setting is not limited to the number of characters. When making a change related to the figure, the number of figures, the area of the figure, and in the case of a stroke, the number of strokes, etc. are used as the change amount.
