Description

  The present invention relates to a printing surface data creation system, a printing surface data creation method, and a contractor server for creating printing surface data for two or more wedding-related paper items.

Wedding-related paper items (for example, profile brochures, invitations, seating tables, meal menu tables, welcome boards, seat tags. Hereinafter, when referring simply to “paper items”, wedding-related paper items are used for weddings. It is common to use ready-made items. However, in recent years, the wedding needs have been diversified, and paper items are not ready-made, and wedding parties are increasingly involved in design decisions and selections themselves.
In addition, since it is preferable to use a standardized paper item outer shape and booklet configuration (for example, page order), wedding parties mainly create paper item printing surfaces. In many cases, it is related to (for example, what kind of texts, photos, etc. are placed in which position).

Here, a general method related to creation of a printed surface of a paper item by a wedding party who places an order for a paper item (hereinafter referred to as an orderer) is illustrated below.
First of all, we ask the sales office of a trader or a ceremonial hall (hereinafter referred to as a contractor) who prints or creates a paper item, and makes a meeting.
Next, the designer creates print surface data based on the result of the meeting.
Then, printing is performed based on the completed printing surface data, and other necessary processing (cutting, bookbinding, etc.) is performed to complete the paper item. The completed paper item is used for a wedding or the like after being sent to the orderer.

However, the above method has the following problems (1) and (2).
(1) Since it is the designer who ultimately completes the print surface and the original print surface data, it must be between the design of the print surface considered by the orderer and the design of the completed print surface. Differences will occur. Depending on the degree of the difference, the orderer's satisfaction may be low.
(2) In order to keep the difference as described above to a minimum, a close meeting between the orderer and the contractor is required. For this reason, it is necessary for the orderer to repeatedly ask for the sales office of the contractor and make a long-term meeting, and the time and cost for visiting the office and the meeting are a great burden on the orderer.

  In addition, although fields differ, for example, a system or a method in which an orderer creates / orders a postcard or a T-shirt pattern via the Internet or the like is known (for example, see Patent Document 1).

Hereinafter, the printing surface data creation method according to the first embodiment will be described together with examples of displayed screens.
FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a process in the first embodiment. The arrows in FIG. 2 represent the exchange of information between the orderer computer 1 and the order receiver server 2. In FIG. 2, the steps connected to the orderer computer 1 side are mainly performed using the resources of the orderer computer 1, and the steps connected to the orderer server 2 side mainly use the resources of the orderer server 2. It is a step performed using.

  First, the orderer is connected to the contractor server 2 using the orderer computer 1 (connection, step S10). The connection can be performed, for example, by allowing the orderer to input the WEB address of the contractor server using the WEB browser in the orderer computer 1.

The contractor server 2 receives the connection from the orderer computer 1 and displays a menu screen on the orderer computer 1 (menu display, step S12). In addition to the items for proceeding to the print surface data creation screen, the menu screen displays items for proceeding to member registration, display of work examples, display of price lists, display of inquiries, etc. (not shown) .) In order to proceed to the print surface data creation screen, means for enabling individual identification such as member registration may be essential.
Next, the orderer is caused to select an item for proceeding from the menu screen to the print surface data creation screen (menu selection, step S14). Note that if you can select the type of paper item for which you want to create print surface data (for example, select to create a seating table and a seat tag, create an entire profile pamphlet and a seat tag, etc.) The orderer can be made to make a selection.

Thereafter, the contractor server 2 displays layout set candidates including the first basic layout and the second basic layout (layout set candidate display, step S16). Thereafter, the orderer is made to select a desired layout set by operating the orderer computer 1 (selection of layout set, step S18).
The layout set is a set of basic layouts in which designs (color, character and photo layout, typeface, etc.) are unified. In the printing surface data creation method of the present invention, the basic layout of paper items such as the first basic layout and the second basic layout may be selected from candidates.

Next, the contractor server 2 presents the first basic layout selected by the orderer (first basic layout presentation, step S20). Subsequently, the orderer is caused to perform an operation for creating the first print surface data from the orderer computer 1 (first print surface data creation operation, step S22), and the first print surface data is created (the first print surface data). Print surface data creation, step S23).
Steps S20, S22, and S23 are a first area that is stored in the contractor server 2 and is a first basic layout of a first paper item among two or more wedding-related paper items, and displays a shared display element. Is displayed on the orderer computer and presented to the orderer, and at least the shared display element is input to the orderer to correspond to the first step of creating the first print surface data from the first basic layout. The first step can be performed using the first basic layout storage unit 22 and the first print surface data creation unit 24.

Here, the creation of the first print surface data in the first embodiment will be described in detail.
3 and 4 show examples of screens displayed on the orderer computer 1 when creating the first print surface data in the first embodiment.
In the first embodiment, since the first paper item is a seat order table, the first print surface data is print surface data related to the seat order table. Hereinafter, the screen for creating the printing surface data of the seating table which is the first paper item is referred to as a seating table creation screen.
As shown in FIG. 3, the seating order creation screen includes a first display area A1, a second display area A2, a third display area A3, a fourth display area A4, and a fifth display area A5. In FIG. 3, each display area is clearly separated by a frame line, but each display area is not clearly separated by a frame line or the like (that is, one display area and another display area). May be visually integrated).

  The first display area A1 is an area that mainly displays which paper item of the two or more wedding-related paper items is being printed. In the first embodiment, a table of seats and a seat tag are displayed as a paper item to be created in the creation target display area A10, and a display relating to the paper item being created (in FIG. 3, characters, figures and photographs). May be highlighted). As highlighting, for example, the display related to the paper item being input is surrounded by a frame (see FIG. 3), the display density of the display related to the paper item being input is darkened, and the display density of the display related to other paper items is displayed. A display for reducing the thickness can be used.

  A preview display area A12 exists on the right side of the first display area A1. The preview display area A12 is selected by the orderer when the orderer wants to display the finished image of the print surface composed of the print surface data by the print surface confirmation means 34 (for example, the orderer previews the cursor with the mouse). This is a region that is moved onto the display region A12 and clicked). The display of the completed image is performed by the printing surface confirmation unit 34 using the printing surface data stored in the contractor server 2 (first printing surface data when the first paper item is being created).
