DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an information processing apparatus capable of easily providing a detailed description of a work procedure and a pattern paper or the like according to the purpose when making paperwork such as origami.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, a personal computer and a personal computer are not limited to private or business use, because characters can be easily corrected, inserted, and other processes in document creation can be easily performed. An information processing device such as a word processor is frequently used. In this type of information processing apparatus, graphic data and the like can be stored in addition to the document in the storage device that stores the document as described above. Further, by using a printer or the like, the storage device can store the graphic data in the storage device. It is also possible to print existing graphic data and documents. Also, in recent years, the target users of the information processing device are:
The age group is increasing, and there is also a word processor for juniors, such as Casio Word Processor KJ-1 (manufactured by Casio Computer Co., Ltd.), which incorporates a work format as graphic data.

Conventionally, the graphic data is stored and used as image data for one sheet of paper as one file. That is, as shown in FIG.
A plurality of files f ₁ , f ₂ ,... F _n are stored as one file of image data of one sheet, and a desired printed matter is obtained by designating a file as necessary and instructing printing. It is supposed to be.

[0004] For this reason, even in the case of storing a developed view of work data, etc., only one sheet of paper is stored in one file as dot image data or graphic data, and output as required. I have. Accordingly, in the work format function provided in the Casio word processor KJ-1, graphic data of a development view of a car as shown in FIG. 28 is stored as one file.
By printing it as mere image data, a pattern 40 is provided, and the user can assemble it as a car paperwork 41 as shown in FIG.

[0005]

However, when the above-described paperwork is created, an information processing device such as a word processor simply stores image data of a development view as graphic data, and requires a work procedure. However, there is a problem in that workability is poor and it is difficult to utilize only a pattern on which a development view is printed because there is no detailed description of the pattern. On the other hand, in order to improve workability, all necessary drawings for each purpose, such as a confirmation drawing of a paperwork assembling order and an external view, are prepared and managed as one file for each sheet of image data. There is a disadvantage that the data amount becomes huge. Furthermore, the mere image data in which the developed view is stored as data has a problem that the dimensions of the assembled paperwork are fixed.

[0006]

[0007]

[0008]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided an information processing apparatus, comprising: a finishing dimension when paperwork is completed; and a pattern paper size when the paperwork is developed. Storage means for storing the drawing correlation data representing the correlation of the above, and the development data of the paperwork, printing means for printing the development data, input means for inputting the finished dimensions or paper pattern dimensions, and inputting When the finished dimensions are input from the means, the paper pattern dimensions are calculated based on the drawing correlation data, and when the paper dimensions are input, the finished dimensions are calculated based on the drawing correlation data. It is characterized by having arithmetic means.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, in order to solve the above-described problems, the back print data obtained by viewing the folds of the mountain fold and the valley fold from the front side as information for creating the paperwork. A printing means for printing the data stored in the storage means, performing mirror image processing on the back print data, and converting the ridge fold data of the back print data into valley fold data, and converting the valley fold data into valley data. And a control unit for controlling the storage unit so as to convert each of the back print data into mirror image print data by converting the back print data from the back side.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, there is provided an information processing apparatus, comprising: storage means for storing front print data and mirror image print data; and printing means for printing the data stored in the storage means. And a reference fold line on one of the front and back surfaces, and a reference visibly visible from the other surface when the sheet is folded toward the other surface along the reference fold line. When printing on the other side while printing the mark, the position of each print data printed on both the front and back sides coincides with the reference mark that can be seen by folding the paper along the reference fold line. And a control means for controlling the printing means.

[0011]

[0012]

[0013]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, the calculating means calculates the size of the paper pattern from the finished dimensions of the paperwork and the finished size from the dimensions of the paper pattern based on the drawing correlation data stored in the storage means. It has become. Therefore, no matter which of the finished size and the size of the pattern paper is input, the size of the paper on which the development view can be printed can be obtained, and the size of the printable area of the prepared printing paper can be used as the size of the pattern paper. It is also possible to determine the finished dimensions of the work. As a result, the finished dimensions of the paperwork are not fixed and can be changed according to the purpose.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, the control means performs a mirror image process on the back print data as viewed from the front side, and converts the mountain fold data and the valley fold data into each other, so that the back side of the sheet is printed. Mirror image print data to be printed is created. Therefore, information for creating paperwork can be printed on both sides of the printing paper, and an interesting printed matter can be provided.

According to the third aspect of the present invention, for example, when printing on the back surface, the reference mark also printed on the front surface can be viewed from the back surface along the reference fold line printed on the front surface. The printing unit is controlled so that the sheet is folded and the positions of, for example, a development view printed on both the front and back sides are matched using the reference mark. Therefore, the workability of paperwork creation can be further improved by the development view printed with the positions aligned on the front and back surfaces.

[0016]

It is to be deleted.

Further, by performing the later-described mirror image print data processing on the back print data 25, the mirror image print data 31 used when performing the later-described front and back double-side printing is created.

As described above, the front print data, the back print data, the overlapped missing data, and the folding order graphic data constituting the developed view data are converted into the front developed data and the back developed data in the standard print format described later as necessary. Are combined or processed with the information to be printed on the item.

Next, the configuration of the standard print format for origami printing will be described with reference to FIGS.

First, the format of the front print surface is, for example, as shown in FIG.
3, dimensional conditions 12, precautionary notes 11, appearance drawing 10, table development data 9, reference fold line 15, and reference mark 16 are defined by eight items. The spreadsheet data 9 is arranged from the substantially central portion to the lower part of the sheet 8, and the external view 10 and the precautionary note 11 are further above the spreadsheet data 9, the dimension data 12 is further above, and the title data is further above. 14 and the drawing name 13 are printed. A reference fold line 15 and a reference mark 16 for aligning the development data on both sides are printed on one corner of the upper end of the sheet 8.

On the other hand, the format of the back side is shown in FIG.
As shown in (b), the back development data 17 aligned with the front development data 9 on the front printing surface by the reference fold line 15 and the reference mark 16, a notice 11 printed above the back development data 17, The title 14 and the drawing name 13 are further defined above.

Information relating to the items of the title 14, the external view 10, the dimensional condition 12, the front development data 9, and the back development data 17 which constitute the standard print format is created for each origami type shown in FIG. file F _1, F ₂ and, ..., are managed by F _n, as specified origami species and printing method described below, so as the relevant information is called from the file. Information on other items that make up the standard print format
The data is stored in the ROM 2 as print format data for each purpose, and is called up as needed.

The operation of the word processor when origami printing is performed in the above configuration will be described.

First, as shown in the flowchart of FIG. 14, when origami printing is selected on the keyboard 4 (S1), a screen shown in FIG.
2 or the type of origami data stored in the external storage unit 7 is displayed. In this embodiment, for example, "boat"
An example is given in which four types of origami data of “helmet”, “crane”, and “fusen” are stored. Here, if the type of origami is selected (S2) and, for example, "Fusen" is selected, the screen shown in FIG. 16 appears on the display unit 5, and in S3, the paper size and the printing method are specified.

The specification of the print size and print method in S3 will be described in detail with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

In this word processor, as a method of designating the print dimensions, a method of designating the dimensions of the origami paper,
There are two types: a method of specifying the finished size of origami. When "Fusen" is designated in the selection of the origami type, the finished dimension a is one-quarter of the dimension of the origami paper, that is, the length of one side of the square origami paper.
The relationship between the finished size a and the origami paper size is registered in the drawing correlation data in the origami data of "Fusen".

Therefore, when the dimensions of the origami paper are input (S16), the finished dimension a is calculated based on the drawing correlation data (S17), and when the finished dimension a is input (S18), the drawing correlation is calculated. Origami paper dimensions are calculated based on the data (S19). Thus, the input or calculated finish dimension a or origami paper dimension is printed in the dimension condition 12 item in the standard print format.

Next, the size of the printing paper (in this embodiment, B
5, A4, and B4) are selected (S
20), the size of the printing paper specified in S21 is determined, and in S16 or S19, the dimension of the origami paper previously input or calculated is larger than the width of the printable area in the printing paper of the specified size. The La dimension inspection for inspecting whether the size is small is performed (S22-
S24).

As shown in FIG. 18, if the size of the printing paper P is width Lw × length Lh, the actual printable area 18
Are the values obtained by subtracting the upper margin Lu and the lower margin Ld from the length Lh of the sheet P and the left margin Ll and the right margin Lr from the sheet width Lw.
That is, the La dimension inspection is performed when the origami paper dimension is
It is checked whether or not the length is within the printable length La which is the width of the print area 18.

In the present embodiment, as described above, the size of the print paper that can be used is set to B5, A4, and B4, so that the paper length Lh and the paper width L for each size paper are set.
w, top margin Lu, bottom margin Ld, left margin Ll, right margin L
r, printable length La, and printable width Lb are set as shown in Table 3 in the above print format.

[0040]

[Table 3]

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 17, when B5 size printing paper is designated, for example, whether the origami paper size is within the printable length La164 mm of B5 size shown in Table 3 is determined. Is determined (S2
5). If the designated print paper size is A4, the origami paper size is set to A4 size La size 192 m.
m is determined (S26). If the specified print paper size is B4, it is determined whether the origami paper size is within the La size of 235 mm of the B4 size (S27).

In S25 to S27, no matter what size of printing paper is specified, the size of the origami paper is
If it is equal to or larger than each of the above-mentioned La dimensions, the display unit 5
Is displayed (S29), the process proceeds to S16 or S18, and the dimension of the origami paper or the finished dimension a is re-input.

On the other hand, if the origami paper dimensions are within the above-mentioned La dimensions, the determination is YES, and the printing method is input next (S29). The printing method includes, as shown in FIG. 16, a folding procedure, all images, fold data,
The user can select from five types of outer shape data and front and back printing.

As described above, regardless of whether the origami paper size or the finished size is input, the size of the printable print paper can be determined from the drawing correlation data, so that the size of the completed origami is fixed. In addition, it is possible to select the printing paper and obtain the finished dimensions of the completed origami from the set origami paper dimensions according to the desired finished dimensions.

When the designation of the print size and method is completed as described above, as shown in FIG. 14, the folding procedure is performed based on the designated print method from each data stored in the origami data file. Data, all image data,
Fold data, outer shape data, or table data is created (S4 to S8), and based on each created data, a folding procedure, all image data, fold data, outer shape data,
Printed materials of the table data are respectively created (S9 to S1).
3).

That is, for example, when the printing of the folding procedure is designated, the folding procedure as shown in FIG. 3 is printed from the folding procedure data stored in the origami data file (S9). When the printing of all the image data is designated, all the image data is synthesized as described above with the development data constituting the origami data file (S5), and this all image data is used as the table development data. According to the standard print format, all image data as shown in FIG. 19 is printed (S10).

When the printing of the fold data is designated, the fold data is created from the development data as described above (S6), and the fold data is used as the table development data according to the standard print format. The fold data as shown in FIG. 20 is printed (S11). When the printing of the outline data is designated, the outline data is created based on the outline drawing data stored in the origami data file (S7), and the outline data as shown in FIG. Is printed (S
12). When front and back printing is specified, front data is created using front printing data of the development view data (S
8) The table data is printed as table development data according to the standard print format as shown in FIG. 22 (S13).

Information on items such as titles, dimensional conditions, appearance drawings, and spreadsheet data in the standard print format is obtained from the titles, drawing correlation data, appearance drawing data, development drawing data, etc., which constitute the origami data file. In addition to the information provided, information on items such as a drawing name and a precautionary note is provided from purpose-specific print format data and printed.

When front and back printing is designated as the printing method, a reference mark and a reference fold line as shown in FIG. 22 are printed on the front printing surface. After printing the front data in S13 shown in FIG. 14, back data is created (S14). The creation of the back data in S14 will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

Since the back print data included in the developed view data stored in the origami data file is data viewed from the front, first, the back print data is taken into the area A1 (S30), and mirror image processing is performed. Then, the data is replaced with the back print data of the area A1 (S31). After that, area A1
Is converted into valley fold data and put into area A2 (S32), and valley fold data from area A1 is converted into mountain fold data and put into area A3 (S33). Then, the mountain fold data and the valley fold data of the area A1 are deleted, and the valley fold data of the area A2 and the mountain fold data of the area A3 are taken into the area A1 (S3
4), mirror image print data as shown in FIG. 24 is created,
Back data is created using the mirror image print data as back development data. In this way, after the back data is created in S14 shown in FIG. 14, back printing is performed according to the standard print format of the back printing surface (S15), and the back side of the printed matter of the front data shown in FIG. It is printed as shown in FIG.

Next, using the reference fold line 15 and the reference mark 16 printed on the front printing surface of the printing paper (hereinafter simply referred to as “paper”) P, the printing position of each developed view data on the front and back sides is aligned. Will be described with reference to FIG.

The reference fold line 15 corresponds to the sheet P ₁ , P _2.
The upper right in the front printing surface Pa ₁ · Pa ₂ · Pa ₃ of P _3, 45 degree inclined to be printed against the upper line and right line of the sheet _{P 1 · P 2 · P 3} . The fiducial mark 16 is
Printing is performed further outside the printing position of the reference fold line 15 on the front print surface Pa ₁ , Pa _2, and Pa ₃ , and the virtual extension line of the reference fold line 15 reaches the upper end of the sheet P ₁ , P ₂ , or P _3. Paper P ₁ · P ₂ from the position to the fiducial mark 16
And distance in the width direction of the P ₃ has a L _3.

The paper P ₁ has a width L on the front printing surface Pa ₁ .
The left end of the printable area having “a” is inserted at a distance Lc from the left end of the paper insertion slot 20 of the printing unit 6. The width of the paper insertion port 20, because it is wider than the width of the sheet P _1, by way of inserting a paper sheet P ₁ · P ₂ · P ₃ is not necessarily the sheet P ₁ · P ₂ · P ₃ is not inserted into the same position, for example, the paper P in a position where the sheet P _2, its ends relative to the sheet P ₁ is the distance L ₂ shift with respect to the sheet P ₁ in the position where the end portion is displaced a distance L ₁ as ₃ or the like, it may be inserted slightly offset in the lateral direction. However, the distance L ₄ between the reference mark 15 printed as described above and the right end of the paper insertion slot 20 is
It is constant irrespective of the insertion position of the sheets P ₁ , P ₂ , P ₃ .

When performing back printing, the paper P ₁ .P
₂ · P ₃ along the reference fold line 15 and the back printing surface Pb
Bend toward ₁・ Pb ₂・ Pb ₃ and reference mark 1
In a state where the reference mark 16 is visible from the back printing surface Pb ₁ , Pb ₂ , Pb ₃ , each paper P ₁ , P is set so that a thermal mark (not shown) defined on the thermal head unit matches the reference mark 16. _{When 2}・ P ₃ is set, paper P ₂
· P _3, the table printing surface Pa ₁ · Pa ₂ · the paper P ₁
At the time of Pa ₃ , they are inserted in the opposite direction to each other, shifted by the same distance (L ₁ or L ₂ ),
From the left edge of the paper carry-in port 20, the distance L ₅ to the reference marks 16 printed on the sheet P ₁ · P ₂ · P ₃ is constant.

As described above, the outer shape of the paper and the paper
Regardless insertion position to 0, when performing backside printing, the paper position of the reference mark 16 is printed as the reference P ₁ · P ₂
- by inserting a P _3, it is possible to correct the table expanded data and the back expanded data is printed by maintaining a predetermined positional relationship with respect to the reference mark 16 relative commensurate position.

The reference mark 16 is set on the back printing surface Pb _1.
When folded to the Pb ₂ and Pb ₃ sides, the paper P ₁ and P
_Since the distance L ₃ from the upper end of ₂ · P ₃ to the reference mark 15 is also equal, the position of the paper P ₁ , P ₂ · P ₃ in the vertical direction can be adjusted by the reference mark 15. After the front printing is completed, the thermal head 21 in the case of starting the back printing is controlled so as to wait at a position where the position of the head mark 22 overlaps the reference mark 16.

Therefore, by performing mirror image processing as described above to create back data and performing alignment between the front development data and the back development data using the reference fold line 15 and the reference mark 16, origami printing is performed. , Front and back printing can be realized.

As described above, the word processor of this embodiment stores origami data in which information on each print item of a set print format is configured as a text or graphic data as one file for each type of origami. I have. By designating a printing method according to the purpose from among a plurality of printing methods, only necessary information is extracted from the origami data, and a specific printing result is obtained.

Therefore, as compared with the case where the image data for one sheet is formed as one file as in the conventional case, it is possible to output various print forms according to the purpose with less data. The operability of origami is improved because the user can freely explain the procedure and specify the pattern and the like.

Further, since the range of applications for printed materials suitable for juniors can be broadened and double-sided printing can be realized, it is possible to provide interesting printed materials and to have drawing correlation data. Therefore, the finished size of the origami after completion can be designated to determine the size of the pattern, or the finished size can be determined from the size of the pattern.

In this embodiment, origami has been described as an example of paperwork. However, paperwork other than origami, for example, assembling a car as shown in FIG. 29 from a developed view as shown in FIG. The present invention can also be applied to
