The feature of the present embodiment is that when displaying the template T as described above, the template T stored in the mass storage device 16 is quickly searched for a template T that matches the user's desired use, There is a method of displaying with priority. Details will be described below.

<Example of template>
FIG. 3 shows an example of the template T stored in the mass storage device 16 of the operation terminal 2.

  In FIG. 3, in this example, a plurality of templates T are stored in the mass storage device 16 of the operation terminal 2. Each template T is assigned as a print object a text object Te to which text is assigned, an image object Pi to which one of a plurality of predetermined images is assigned, a barcode object Ba to which a barcode is assigned, and a date. It includes at least one of the date object Da and the photo object Ph to which one photo that has been captured by the camera (not shown) of the operation terminal 2 and stored in the mass storage device 16 is assigned. Some templates T have a decoration F (for example, a frame line) attached to at least one print object.

<Specific method>
Hereinafter, a specific method will be described with reference to FIGS.

  In FIG. 4, when the user activates a predetermined application on the operation terminal 2 and performs an appropriate operation, an appropriate editing screen 17 a including the label image LI is displayed on the touch panel 17. When the user performs an appropriate contact operation on the touch panel 17 and sets the print object while specifying the position of the print object, the set print object is arranged at the specified position in the label image LI on the editing screen 17a. Is done.

  For example, when the user inputs a desired text, the text object Te to which the input text is assigned is arranged. For example, when the user taps an image addition button and selects a desired image from a plurality of predetermined images, the image object Pi to which the selected image is assigned is arranged. For example, when the user taps a barcode addition button and inputs a desired text, the barcode object Ba to which a barcode obtained by encoding the input text is assigned is arranged.

  In the example shown in FIG. 4, the text object Te to which the text “Tetsuto” is assigned is arranged on the left side in the label image LI of the editing screen 17a, and the business bag image is assigned on the right side in the figure. An image object Pi is arranged.

  Then, in a state where the editing screen 17a including the label image LI on which the plurality of print objects are arranged is displayed on the touch panel 17, the user touches the plurality of print objects on the touch panel 17 (= multiple print object selection operation). Then, when a predetermined pattern contact operation (corresponding to an instruction to start ordering) is performed on the plurality of print objects, the operation terminal 2 orders the plurality of templates T stored in the mass storage device 16. Is started. In the present embodiment, a plurality of print objects of the same type and the same number of print objects stored in the large-capacity storage device 16 and different in arrangement mode of the same number of print objects are included. The template T is ordered based on the first ordering rule related to the arrangement mode. Thereafter, a selection screen 17b (see FIG. 5 and the like described later) on which a plurality of templates T are displayed is displayed on the touch panel 17 in accordance with the above ordering (for example, a template T having a high priority is displayed in the upper stage). The At this time, the content assigned to each print object of each template T displayed on the selection screen 17b is replaced with the content set by the user on the editing screen 17a.

<Pattern 1>
For example, as shown in FIG. 5, after the user touches two print objects on the touch panel 17 with two fingers, the two print objects remain touched as a touch operation of the predetermined pattern. There is a case where a so-called pinch-in is performed in which two fingers are moved so that the interval is narrowed. In this case, the operation terminal 2 includes two print objects of the same type as the two print objects that have been pinched in and stored in the large-capacity storage device 16, and the arrangement of the two print objects is mutually different. Ordering is performed on a plurality of different templates T based on the first ordering rule. For example, in the first ordering rule at this time, the template T having two print objects in the same order as the two print objects that have been pinched in, in the order of higher priority, and the two that have been pinched in. A template T having two print objects in the same arrangement as the arrangement of the two print objects and having a decoration F attached to at least one of the two print objects; opposite to the arrangement of the two print objects that have been pinched in The template T is provided with two print objects arranged in a row, and the template T is provided with two print objects arranged in a row obtained by rotating the arrangement of the two print objects subjected to the pinch-in by 90 °.

  In the example shown in FIG. 5, the user touches the text object Te located on the left side in the figure and the image object Pi located on the right side in the figure in the label image LI of the editing screen 17a, and then the text Pinch in the object Te and the image object Pi. As a result, a plurality of templates T1, T2, T3, T4, etc. including the text object Te and the image object Pi stored in the large-capacity storage device 16 and having different arrangement modes of the text object Te and the image object Pi are included. The template T is ordered based on the first ordering rule. In this case, in order of priority, the text object Te (the text “Printer” is assigned) is arranged on the left side in the drawing, and the image object Pi (the paper image is assigned) is arranged on the right side in the drawing. Template T1, a text object Te ("Printer" text is assigned) is arranged on the left side in the figure, and an image object Pi (paper image is assigned) is arranged on the right side in the figure and those texts A template T2 with a decoration F so as to surround the object Te and the image object Pi, a text object Te (allocated with the text “printer”) is arranged on the right side of the figure, and an image object Pi ( Template with a paper image assigned) T3, a template T4 in which a text object Te (text of “printer” is assigned) is arranged on the upper side in the drawing, and an image object Pi (paper image is assigned) is arranged on the lower side in the drawing. Is ordered. Thereafter, in the selection screen 17b, the text object Te of each template T is assigned the text “Tesuto” entered by the user on the editing screen 17a, and the business bag image selected by the user on the editing screen 17a is assigned to the image object Pi. Are assigned, the template T1 is displayed at the top, the template T2 is displayed at the bottom, the template T3 is displayed at the bottom, and the template T4 is displayed at the bottom.

<Pattern 2>

There is a case where a rotation operation (hereinafter referred to as “first rotation operation” as appropriate) is performed to move two fingers so as to rotate approximately 90 °. In this case, the operation terminal 2 includes two print objects of the same type as the two print objects that are stored in the large-capacity storage device 16 and have been subjected to the first rotation operation, and the arrangement of the two print objects. Ordering is performed based on the first ordering rule with respect to a plurality of templates T whose manners are different from each other in the form designated by the first rotation operation. For example, in the first ordering rule at this time, the template T including two print objects in the arrangement mode specified by the first rotation operation in the order of priority, the arrangement mode specified by the first rotation operation. A template T in which a text object Te as an at least one of the two print objects is an automatic length, two print objects in an arrangement mode designated by the first rotation operation, and Ordered to be a template T with at least one new print object.

  In the example shown in FIG. 6, the user touches the text object Te located on the left side in the figure and the image object Pi located on the right side in the figure in the label image LI of the editing screen 17a, and then the text A first rotation operation is performed on the object Te and the image object Pi so that the text object Te is on the upper side in the drawing and the image object Pi is on the lower side in the drawing. As a result, the text object Te and the image object Pi stored in the large-capacity storage device 16 are included, and the arrangement of the text object Te and the image object Pi is the text object Te on the upper side in the figure and the image object Pi is shown in the figure. The plurality of templates T including the different templates T4, T5, T6, etc. on the lower side are ordered based on the first ordering rule. In this case, in order of priority, the text object Te (the text “printer” is assigned) is arranged on the upper side in the figure, and the image object Pi (paper image is assigned) on the lower side in the figure. The placed template T4, the text object Te (the text “Printer” is assigned) is arranged on the upper side in the figure, and the image object Pi (the paper image is assigned) is arranged on the lower side in the figure. In addition, a template T5 in which the upper text object Te in the figure is an automatic length, a text object Te (the text “printer” is assigned) is arranged on the upper side in the figure, and an image object Pi (paper image) on the lower side in the figure. Is assigned to the image object Pi (pencil) on the right side of the figure. Template T6 which the image is assigned) is arranged, to be ordered. Thereafter, on the selection screen 17b, the text object Te of each template T is assigned the text “Tesuto” entered by the user on the editing screen 17a and the image object Pi (however, the image object Pi to which the pencil image is assigned is In the state where the business bag image selected by the user on the editing screen 17a is assigned, the template T4 is displayed at the top, the template T5 is displayed at the bottom, and the template T6 is displayed at the bottom.

<Pattern 3>
Further, for example, as shown in FIG. 7, after the user touches two print objects on the touch panel 17 with two fingers, the two touch objects are touched as the predetermined pattern contact operation. There is a case where a rotation operation (hereinafter referred to as “second rotation operation” as appropriate) is performed in which the other finger is rotated while the one finger is fixed. In this case, the operation terminal 2 includes two print objects of the same type as the two print objects that are stored in the large-capacity storage device 16 and have been subjected to the second rotation operation, and the arrangement of the two print objects. Ordering is performed based on the first ordering rule with respect to a plurality of templates T whose manners are different from each other in the placement manner designated by the second rotation operation. For example, in the first ordering rule at this time, the template T having two print objects in the arrangement mode specified by the second rotation operation in the descending order of priority, the arrangement mode specified by the second rotation operation. The template T is provided with the two print objects and at least one new print object.

  In the example shown in FIG. 7, the user touches the text object Te located on the left side in the figure and the image object Pi located on the right side in the figure in the label image LI of the editing screen 17a, and then the text The second rotation operation is performed on the object Te and the image object Pi so that the position of the text object Te remains as it is and the image object Pi is on the upper right side in the drawing. As a result, the text object Te and the image object Pi stored in the large-capacity storage device 16 are included, and the arrangement of the text object Te and the image object Pi is the text object Te on the left side in the figure and the image object Pi in the figure. The plurality of templates T including different templates T7, T8, etc. on the upper right side are ordered based on the first ordering rule. In this case, in descending order of priority, a text object Te (the text “Printer” is assigned) is arranged on the left side in the figure, and an image object Pi (a paper image is assigned) on the upper right side in the figure. The placed template T7, the text object Te (the text “Printer” is assigned) is arranged on the left side in the figure, and the image object Pi (the paper image is assigned) is arranged on the upper right side in the figure. In addition, the template is ordered with a template T8 in which an image object Pi (a pencil image is assigned) is arranged on the lower right side in the drawing. Thereafter, on the selection screen 17b, the text object Te of each template T is assigned the text “Tesuto” entered by the user on the editing screen 17a and the image object Pi (however, the image object Pi to which the pencil image is assigned is In the state where the business bag image selected by the user is assigned to the editing screen 17a, the template T7 is displayed at the top level and the template T8 is displayed at the bottom level.
