[0008]

In the above-described conventional system for displaying an emergency handwritten message by the configuration of a newspaper production process management apparatus and a video system, as shown in FIG. 4, a first TV for displaying the progress of a process is shown. A monitor 45 and a second TV monitor 46 for displaying an emergency handwritten message are required for each department, and a large-screen 21 ″ display is adopted so that the TV monitor can be easily seen by workers in each department. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the installation space.

In addition, the frequency of occurrence of emergency handwritten communication items is 1
Since it is about 12 times a day, it is costly to install a TV monitor separately and exclusively.

This urgent handwritten message is mainly used when switching between newspaper editions, and the edition is switched about 12 times a day as described below.
About twice.

[0011] Morning edition 8, 9, 10, 11, 11S, 12th edition Evening edition C, D, E edition Sports 3, 4, 5th edition Also displays the cable for sending the progress of the process to the TV monitor and the emergency handwritten communication information However, there is a problem that the cables of the video system need to be routed to each section of the two-system premises, which increases costs and is inefficient in terms of introduction and maintenance.

An object of the present invention is to convert an NTSC signal of video information of an emergency handwritten message input from a TV camera by a video information processing apparatus into three primary colors, Red, G, and Red.
digital information of a general parallel interface B
(Hereinafter referred to as GPIB) and input to a workstation for displaying the process progress status, a window for displaying the video input information of the workstation is opened in advance, and the video input information is combined with the display of the process progress status. It is an object of the present invention to provide an emergency handwritten message display method for a newspaper production man-hour management device that solves the above-mentioned drawbacks, reduces the number of process display terminal devices, increases installation space efficiency, and reduces costs by displaying. .

[0013]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The production of the present invention for a newspaper company
The display method of the emergency handwritten notices of the process management device is as follows: a control device that sends out information on each production process of newspaper production, combination information of paper configuration images, and production schedule information for each paper, and emergency handwritten communication notices are entered. a television camera for image the entry board, a video information processing apparatus which receives a television signal of an emergency handwriting informative matter captured by the television camera performs digital conversion, the video <br/> information processing apparatus And a control workstation for synthesizing the video and the information from the control device, and distributing and displaying the video on the television monitor.

[0014]

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a newspaper production process management apparatus according to one embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a display screen layout of the newspaper production process management apparatus of this embodiment in a normal state, and FIG. It is a figure which shows the display screen layout at the time of the emergency handwritten message display of the newspaper production process management apparatus of an example.

In FIG. 1, a newspaper production process control apparatus a11 of this embodiment includes an image system a17, a control apparatus a12 to which a file 13 is connected, and a control workstation (hereinafter, referred to as EWS) 14. , Analog RGB → NTSC converter 15 and each department A, B, C,.
, Z, a, b, c..., Z TV monitor 16 and T
It comprises a V camera a18 and a video information processing device 19.

Here, the progress of the process transmitted from the control device a12 and the analog RGB → NT
The EWS 14 combines the video information of the emergency handwritten message input via the SC converter 15. This allows
, Z, a, b, c,..., Z, only one TV monitor 16 is required.

The file 13 contains information on each production process of newspaper production (input of a formatted article record image, completion of a page,
It stores the combination information of the composition output of the paper and the composition image of the paper (article part, advertisement under the article) and the production schedule information for each paper, and each information is extracted from the file 13 under the control of the control device a12. The information is sent to the EWS 14 as process progress information together with information on other systems.

The video system a17 includes a TV camera a18 and a video information processing device 19. When an emergency handwritten message is generated, the emergency handwritten message is written on the emergency handwritten message board 20 and the TV camera 1
8 is taken.

Next, the newspaper production process control apparatus 1 of this embodiment
The operation 1 will be described with reference to the drawings.

In FIGS. 1, 2 and 3, a TV camera a
A video information processing device 19 is installed between the EWS 14 and the EWS 14, and the video data of the NTSC signal is converted into digital RGB data and input to the EWS 14, and the TV in the EWS 14
A window for displaying the camera input data is opened and mixed with a window for displaying the process progress information input from the control device a12 on the display of the EWS 14.

The process progress status and the emergency handwritten message, which are mixedly displayed on the display of the EWS 14, are output as analog RGB from the RGB terminals of the display, and the analog RGB → NTSC converter 15 converts the signals to NTSC.
Each department A, B, C ..., Z, a, b, c ...
, Z to the TV monitor 16 for display.

Since the mixed display of the displayed process progress status and the emergency handwritten message is performed only in an emergency, the process progress status display shown in FIG. 2 is normally performed. The progress of the process and the emergency handwritten message are displayed in a layout as shown in FIG.

In FIG. 2, a normal process progress display is as follows: The spare area manages and displays the completion of the newspaper on a plate and page basis.

The message field displays a fixed message input in advance by a word processor in accordance with an instruction from the operator.

The final seven-step process progress area displays the progress of the last surface of the plate that is to be output as a composition in a time chart in real time.

In FIG. 3, when an emergency handwritten message occurs, the following are displayed: When an emergency handwritten message occurs, the display of the final seven process progress area in FIG. 2 is temporarily stopped, and a video for displaying the emergency handwritten message is displayed. A window will be displayed instead.

This display is displayed on the TV monitor 16 of each department A, B, C,..., Z, a, b, c,..., Z from the display of the EWS 14 via the analog RGB → NTSC converter 15. Is done.

[0029]

As described above, the display method of the emergency handwritten message in the newspaper man-hour management apparatus of the present invention is based on the process progress display screen using the process progress display data from the control device, and the TV camera. By simultaneously displaying the video information of the emergency handwritten notices displayed on the control workstation at the same time, the number of TV monitors installed in each department can be reduced to one, and as a result, the cost for the TV monitor itself can be reduced. Therefore, the installation space can be made more efficient.

Also, conventionally, the newspaper production process management device and the video system were separate, but by integrating these,
The number of cables distributed from the control workstation to each department can be halved, the cost can be reduced accordingly, and the efficiency of installation and maintenance can be improved.

Further, since the operator only needs to pay attention to one TV monitor without looking at two TV monitors, there is an effect that operability can be improved.
