[First Embodiment]
In the first embodiment, an information processing apparatus (first information processing apparatus) 100 uses an image forming apparatus 101 to print a printed matter in which a document is printed on the front side 102 and a two-dimensional code is printed on the back side 103. An example of processing to be performed will be described.

<Functional configuration>
FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating a configuration example of an information processing apparatus according to the first embodiment; As shown in FIG. 3, the information processing apparatus (first information processing apparatus) 100 executes programs such as an OS 300, an application 310 operating on the OS, and a printer driver 320. FIG. Further, the information processing apparatus 100 implements the functional configuration of the reception unit 301, the acquisition unit 302, the data processing unit 303, the generation unit 304, the print control unit 305, and the like by executing the printer driver 320 on the CPU 201, for example. ing. It should be noted that at least part of the functional configurations described above may be realized by hardware.

The reception unit 301 executes reception processing for receiving electronic data to be printed output by the application 310 and print setting information via the OS 300, for example.

The acquisition unit 302 executes acquisition processing for acquiring character information including a character string to be printed on the first page and the document structure of the character string from the electronic data to be printed received by the reception unit 301 .

FIG. 4A shows an example of a document 401 that the application 310 requests printing. The acquisition unit 302 executes acquisition processing for acquiring character information including character strings included in the document 401 and the document structure of the character strings from the electronic data to be printed. For example, the acquisition unit 302 acquires (extracts) character information 402 in markdown format as shown in FIG. However, the acquisition unit 302 is not limited to this, and the acquisition unit 302 may acquire character information in a markup format such as XML (Extensible Markup Language) from the electronic data to be printed received by the reception unit 301. good. Details of the acquisition process executed by the acquisition unit 302 will be described later.

The data processing unit 303 performs data processing such as compression, encoding, and division on the character information acquired by the acquisition unit 302 . For example, the data processing unit 303 compresses the character information acquired by the acquisition unit 302 using a compression method such as ZIP to generate compressed data. Further, the data processing unit 303 encodes the generated compressed data (binary data) into a character string using an encoding method such as Base64. Furthermore, the data processing unit 303 divides the encoded character string into sizes corresponding to the two-dimensional code.

FIG. 5A shows an example of a character string 510 encoded with Base64. By converting the compressed data into a character string in this way, it becomes easier to divide the binary format data into a size corresponding to the two-dimensional code. In addition, since Base64 uses only 64 types of printable alphanumeric characters, it is more resistant to reading errors than data in binary format.

The generation unit 304 generates one or more two-dimensional codes representing the character information acquired by the acquisition unit 302 . For example, the generation unit 304 converts the character string, which the data processing unit 303 has divided into a size corresponding to the two-dimensional code, into one or more two-dimensional codes such as a QR (Quick Response) code. In addition, the generation unit 304 creates a two-dimensional code (meta information) including meta information (bibliographic information) of one or more generated two-dimensional codes.

When the two-dimensional code is a QR code (registered trademark), the maximum capacity of the QR code is 2953 bytes when the version is the maximum (40) and the error correction level is the minimum (L). However, a QR code is an example of a two-dimensional code. DataMatrix (registered trademark), VeriCode (registered trademark), PDF417 (registered trademark), or CODE49 (registered trademark), for example, may be used as the two-dimensional code.

The print control unit 305 selects a page (first page) of the document 401 requested to be printed by the application 310 and a second page to be printed with one or more two-dimensional codes representing the character information 402 of the first page. Execute print control processing for controlling printing.

Preferably, as shown in FIG. 5B, the print control unit 305 prints the first page of the document 401 on the surface of the printed material 520, and displays one or more characters representing the character information 402 of the first page of the document 401. 2D code is printed on the back surface of the printed material 520 . Similarly, the print control unit 305 prints the second page of the document 401 on the front side of the printed matter 520, and prints one or more two-dimensional codes representing the character information 402 of the second page of the document 401 on the back side of the printed matter 520. Create print data to print to The print control unit 305 also transmits the created print data to the image forming apparatus 101 and instructs the image forming apparatus 101 to print a printed material 520 as shown in FIG. 5B, for example.

In the example of FIG. 5B, on one page (back side) of the printed material 520, a plurality of two-dimensional codes 522a, 522b, . , a two-dimensional code (meta information) 521 including meta information of a plurality of two-dimensional codes is printed.

Note that the functional configuration of the information processing apparatus (first information processing apparatus) 100 shown in FIG. 3 is an example. For example, in FIG. 3, of the functional configuration realized by the printer driver 320, the acquisition unit 302, the data processing unit 303, the generation unit 304, and the like are realized by a virtual printer program other than the printer driver 320. It can be anything.

<Process flow>

In step S<b>601 , when the reception unit 301 receives electronic data to be printed by, for example, a print request from the application 310 , the information processing apparatus 100 executes the process of step S<b>602 .

In step S602, the information processing apparatus 100 executes the processes of steps S603 to S605 for each page of the electronic data received by the receiving unit 301. FIG.

In step S603, the acquisition unit 302 acquires character information representing a character string to be printed on the page to be processed and the document structure of the character string.

Here, an example in which the application 310 requesting printing is Microsoft (registered trademark) Word (hereinafter referred to as Word), which is an example of a document creation program, will be described.

A word document file (extension docx) is, for example, a compressed file obtained by compressing a file group 700 configured as shown in FIG. Among the files 700 shown in FIG. 7, the XML file with the file name "document.xml" stores the character string included in the text of the document file and the character information including the document structure of the character string. there is However, in this XML file, various tag information is recorded in addition to necessary character information, as shown in a table 800 in FIG. 8, for example.

The acquisition unit 302 acquires only necessary information as character information from the XML file with the file name “document.xml”. For example, the acquisition unit 302 acquires only data corresponding to “pPr”, “rPr”, “t”, “numPr”, “ilvl”, and “numID” among the multiple element names shown in FIG. Then, character information 402 in markdown format as shown in FIG. 4B is obtained (extracted).

In the above example, a word document file has been described, but character information can also be obtained in a similar manner in other applications of Microsoft Office. The present embodiment can also be applied to other applications as long as they can analyze document files and obtain character information.

Here, returning to FIG. 6, the explanation of the flowchart is continued. In step S<b>604 , the generation unit 304 generates one or more two-dimensional codes representing the character information 402 acquired by the acquisition unit 302 . For example, the generation unit 304 executes a two-dimensional code generation process as shown in FIG.

FIG. 9 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a two-dimensional code generation process according to the first embodiment. This processing represents an example of the two-dimensional code generation processing executed by the generation unit 304 in step S604 of FIG. 6, for example.

In step S<b>901 , the generation unit 304 uses the data processing unit 303 to compress the character information 402 acquired by the acquisition unit 302 . As an example, the generating unit 304 uses the data processing unit 303 to compress the character information 402 into a ZIP-format compressed file (compressed data). Note that the generation unit 304 may compress the character information 402 into a compressed file other than the ZIP format.

In step S902, the generation unit 304 uses the data processing unit 303 to encode the compressed file (compressed data) into a character string. For example, the generation unit 304 uses the data processing unit 303 to encode the compressed data in Base64. Note that the generation unit 304 may encode the compressed data into a character string by a method other than Base64.

In step S903, the generation unit 304 uses the data processing unit 303 to divide the encoded character string into sizes corresponding to the two-dimensional code. Further, the generating unit 304 converts each of the divided character strings into a two-dimensional code, thereby generating one or more two-dimensional codes 522a, 522b, . . . as shown in FIG. 5B, for example. do.

In step S904, the generation unit 304 generates a bibliographic information including meta information (bibliographic information) of one or more two-dimensional codes 522a, 522b, . . . generated in step S903. A dimension code (meta information) 521 is created.

The two-dimensional code (meta-information) 521 includes, for example, identification information for identifying electronic data to be printed, the file name of the electronic data, date and time of printing, and one or more two-dimensional codes 522a, 522b, .・Information (number, order, etc.) is included. The one or more two-dimensional codes 522a, 522b, . Part of the column (compressed, encoded and split) etc. are stored. Also, the two-dimensional information (meta-information) 512 and one or more two-dimensional codes 522a, 522b, . ing. Note that, for example, a UUID (Universally Unique Identifier) can be applied to identification information for identifying electronic data.

Note that the two-dimensional code generation processing shown in FIG. 9 is an example. For example, when the character string encoded in step S902 of FIG. 9 fits into one two-dimensional code, the generation unit 304 converts the encoded character string into one two-dimensional code instead of the processing of steps S903 and S904. You may perform processing to do.

Here, returning to FIG. 6, the description of the flowchart of FIG. 6 is continued. In step S605, the print control unit 305 uses the image forming apparatus 101 to print the document to be printed and the one or more two-dimensional codes generated by the generation unit 304 on different pages. For example, as shown in FIG. 1, the print control unit 305 prints a document to be printed on the front surface 102 of a recording medium such as paper, and prints one or more two-dimensional codes on the back surface 103 of the recording medium. Print data is created and transmitted to the image forming apparatus 101 .

Through the above processes, the information processing apparatus 100 prints each page of a document on the front side of a recording medium such as paper, and one or more pages representing character information on the back side, as shown in FIG. 5B, for example. A printed matter 520 on which a two-dimensional code is printed can be provided.
