Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a newspaper production system and an image update method, and more particularly, to manage the processing state of an image arranged on a newspaper and to release a newspaper on which an unprocessed image is arranged. The present invention relates to a newspaper page production system and an image update method capable of preventing the above.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, when producing newspapers, the time until the deadline is short, especially in the news, and a serious incident occurs during the creation of the page. Replacing and accompanying layout changes are routine. Against this background, the person in charge of paper layout always makes a temporary paper with the material at that time. Therefore, an image such as a photograph is used to create a temporary paper layout even if it is in an unprocessed state in which the contrast and hue are not adjusted.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, such a conventional newspaper production method has the following problems.
[0004]
That is, image processing as described above is usually performed by a professional engineer such as an image department, and the final paper must be a processed image. If the unprinted image is unprinted, it becomes a big problem, so the creator of the page must be aware of this.
[0005]
In particular, a newspaper company that creates a plurality of local editions simultaneously uses the same image on different papers, so it is necessary to confirm that all these images have been replaced with processed images. However, an output product called galley has a problem that it is difficult to distinguish whether it is unprocessed or processed just by looking at the image, and it is extremely difficult to judge.
[0006]
The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and a first object of the present invention is that when an unprocessed image is arranged on a paper surface during large printing or release, the printed material or typesetting of the large printing is performed. By displaying a warning message on the screen of the terminal, it is possible to easily recognize that the raw image is arranged, and thus prevent erroneous printing of the raw image. An object is to provide a newspaper production system and an image update method.
[0007]
The second purpose is to process the raw image without replacement by the person in charge of layout of the paper when the processed image is retransmitted with respect to the image sent to the typesetting in an unprocessed state. It is an object of the present invention to provide a newspaper production system and an image updating method capable of automatically replacing a completed image.
[0008]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve the above object, the present invention takes the following measures.
[0009]
  That is, the invention of claim 1 manages a plurality of elements composed of at least articles and images posted on each newspaper page, reads each managed element and arranges it on each page, and is arranged. Newspaper pages that create page data by processing imagesApplied to the production systemImage update methodThe Here, the production system includes a terminal, an editing server, a storage device, and a display device. In the image update method, the image arranged on the paper is processed using a terminal, and whether the processing state when storing the image is unprocessed or processed is stored in the storage device together with the image. However, if the state of the processing of the image stored in the storage device is unprocessed, the editing server can identify the image as unprocessed on the paper surface on which the image is placed. The paper data to which the processing identification information is assigned and the raw identification information is given by the editing server is displayed from the display device, and the processing state is any paper on which the raw image is arranged. When a processed image corresponding to an unprocessed image is carried in, the editing server sets the processed state of this image stored in the storage device to the processed state, and is arranged on this paper surface. Add raw images If the same unprocessed image as the unprocessed image is arranged on a sheet other than the sheet, the editing server processes the image stored in the storage device. Replace the unprocessed image placed on another page with the processed image, with the processing state set to processed.
[0010]
Therefore, in the method for updating an image on a newspaper according to the first aspect of the invention, it is possible to easily recognize that an unprocessed image is arranged on a paper surface by taking the above-described means. It is possible to prevent the page data with the processed image being placed from being erroneously released.
[0014]
  Also,For example, even in the case of producing a newspaper page in which the same image as other pages is arranged, such as a local version, one page without having to individually replace all the pages on which the same image is placed. If only the image is replaced, the image on the other paper is also automatically replaced, so that the unprocessed image can be efficiently replaced with the processed image.

[0036]
In response to a request from the typesetting terminal 5, the typesetting editing server 6 transmits an article or an image to the typesetting terminal 5. Then, the page data file 13 edited by the typesetting terminal 5 is output to the page data file storage unit 7 and stored. Further, the composition editing server 6 includes an image registration unit 11 and an output editing unit 12 as shown in the main functional block diagram of FIG. The image registration unit 11 acquires the image data 10 from the image server 4, operates as shown in the flowchart of FIG. 3, and performs registration processing of the image data 10 in the paper data file 13. The output editing unit 12 operates as shown in the flowchart of FIG. 4, reads the page data file 13 designated by the typesetting terminal 5 from the page data file storage unit 7, creates page output data, and outputs the output server 8. Output to. FIG. 5 is a data configuration diagram showing an example of the image data 10.
[0037]
The page data file storage unit 7 acquires and stores the page data file 13 (# 1, # 2, # 3,...) Edited by the typesetting terminal 5 through the typesetting editing server 6 and stores it. The page data file 13 (# 1, # 2, # 3,...) Being output is appropriately output to the typesetting editing server 6 based on a request from the typesetting editing server 6. FIG. 6 is a data configuration diagram showing an example of a paper surface data file 13 (# 1) which is a paper surface data file 13 of paper surface # 1, and FIG. 7 is a paper data file 13 which is a paper surface data file 13 of paper surface # 2. It is a data block diagram which shows an example of (# 2).
[0038]
The output server 8 expands the articles and images generated by the typesetting editing server 6 into dot data in accordance with a large-print / block-printing output instruction from the typesetting terminal 5 and outputs it to the printer / plotter 9.
[0039]
The printer / plotter 9 acquires the dot data output from the output server 8, and outputs a large print or a composition based on the dot data.
[0040]
Next, the operation of the newspaper page production system to which the newspaper page image updating method according to the present embodiment configured as described above is applied will be described.
[0041]
First, the registration processing operation of the image data 10 performed by the image registration unit 11 will be described using the flowchart of FIG.
[0042]
When the registration process of the image data 10 is performed by the image registration unit 11, first, the image data 10 stored in the image server 4 is acquired by the image registration unit 11 and designated as the image data 10. The page data file 13 that matches the publication date 10KD, the page name 10MN, and the version name 10HN is retrieved from the page data file storage unit 7 (S1).
[0043]
Specifically, the page data file 13 (# 1), the page data file 13 (# 2), the page data file 13 (# 3),... In the page data file storage unit 7 are sequentially searched. The processes (1) to (4) shown in FIG.
(1) The page data file 13 on a certain page is targeted.
(2) Whether the publication date 13KD, the page name 13MN, and the version name 13HN of the target paper data file 13 all match the publication date 10KD, the page name 10MN, and the version name 10HN of the image data 10, respectively. Is confirmed.
(3) If all match, the process of step S2 is performed. If any one does not match, the following process (4) is performed.
(4) When processing has been performed on the paper data file 13 for all the paper surfaces, the following processing (6) is performed. Otherwise, the following processing (5) is performed.
(5) The next sheet is targeted, and the process of step S2 is performed. For example, after the processing of the paper surface # 1, the paper surface # 2, which is the next paper surface, is targeted.
(6) A new page is additionally registered in the page data file 13, and the process of step S2 is performed.
[0044]
In step S2, it is confirmed whether or not an image matching the image ID 10ID of the designated image data 10 is registered in the paper data file 13 (S2). This confirmation method is performed by performing the following processes (1) to (5). For example, in the case of the paper surface data file 13 (# 1) of paper surface # 1,
(1) Element information of the # 1 record in the page data file 13 (# 1) is targeted.
(2) It is confirmed whether or not the element type of the record of the target element information is “image”. If it is “image”, the following process (3) is performed. Otherwise, the following process (4) is performed. For example, if the target element information is the # 1 record, the element type 131SB (# 1) of the # 1 record is “image”, so the following process (3) is performed. If the target element information is the # 2 record, the element type 132SB (# 2) of the # 2 record is “article”, so the process (4) shown below is performed.
[0045]
(3) It is confirmed whether or not the element ID of the record of the target element information matches the designated image ID. If they match, the image with this image ID has already been registered, so the process of step S3 is performed. If they do not match, the process proceeds to step S4. For example, if the corresponding image is the image a, the element ID 131ID (# 1) of the # 1 record matches the image ID 10ID.
[0046]
(4) It is confirmed whether or not processing has been performed on the element information of all records in the page data file 13. If the process is performed on the element information of all records, the process of step S5 is performed as unregistered, and if not, the process (5) shown below is performed.
[0047]
(5) The target element information is the next record. For example, if the target element information is the # 1 record, the next record is the element information of the # 2 record. Thus, the process of (2) described above is performed on the next record. As a result, the processes (2) to (5) described above are performed for all records.
[0048]
As a result of the processing in step S2 performed in this way, if an image that matches the designated image ID has already been registered in the corresponding sheet data file 13 (S2: Yes), the processing in step S3 is performed. If not registered (S2: No), the process of step S5 is performed.
[0049]
In step S3, the element information of the corresponding image in the page data file 13 is updated. This is performed, for example, as follows. Suppose that it is element information (image a) of the # 1 record. At this time, the content of the image processing state 10KF of the image data 10 is the content of the image processing state 131KF (# 1) of the # 1 record, and the content of the image size 10SZ of the image data 10 is the image size 131SZ (# 1 of the # 1 record). The contents of the image attribute information 10PR of the image data 10 are respectively updated to the contents of the image attribute information (color, trimming, etc.) 131PR (# 1) of the # 1 record, and the process of step S4 is performed.
[0050]
In step S4, the display image data 131HI and the actual image data 131RH for the corresponding image in the page data file 13 are updated. For example, in the case of element information (image a) of the # 1 record, the content of the display image data 131HI of the # 1 element is replaced with the content of the display image data 10HI of the image data 10. Further, the content of the actual image data 131RH of the # 1 element is replaced with the content of the actual image data 10RH of the image data 10.
[0051]
In step S5, the corresponding image is newly registered in the element information of the page data file 13. This is performed by performing the following processes (1) to (7).
(1) An empty record in the page data file 13 is searched. For example, it is assumed that the #j record is an empty record.
(2) The area of this #j record is initialized.
(3) The element type 13jSB of the #j record is “image”.
(4) The element ID 13jID of the #j record is set as the image ID 10ID.
(5) The content of the image processing state 13jKF of the #j record is the content of the image processing state 10KF.
(6) The content of the image size 13jSZ of the #j record is the content of the image size 10SZ.
(7) The content of image attribute information (color, trimming, etc.) 13jPR of the #j record is the content of the image attribute information 10PR.
[0052]
When the image corresponding to the element information of the page data file 13 is newly registered in this way, as shown below, the display image data 131HI and the actual image for the corresponding image in the page data file 13 are displayed in step S6. Data 131RH is newly registered. This is performed by the following processes (1) to (4).
[0053]
(1) An image display image data storage directory / file name is determined in accordance with a predetermined rule, and written in the image display image data storage directory / file name 13jAD1 of the #j record.
(2) The display image data 10HI of the image is read from the display image data storage directory / file name 10AD1 of the image data 10, and written into the display image data 13jHI of the #j element.
(3) The storage directory / file name of the actual image data of the image is determined according to a predetermined rule, and is written in the storage directory / file name of the actual image data of the image #j record 13jAD2.
(4) The actual image data 10RH of the image is read from the actual image data storage directory / file name 10AD2 of the image data 10, and written to the actual image data 13jRH of the #j element.
[0054]
As described above, the registration processing of the image data 10 is performed by the image registration unit 11.
[0055]
Next, output processing of the output data to the output server 8 performed by the output editing unit 12 will be described using the flowchart of FIG.
[0056]
In the present embodiment, when the paper data file 13 is output to the output server 8, the paper data file storage unit 7 is output by the output editing unit 12 based on the output instruction given from the typesetting terminal 5 to the typesetting editing server 6. The paper data file 13 to be output is read from among the data, and output data is created based on the read paper data file 13 (S11).
[0057]
If the output instruction issued from the typesetting terminal 5 to the typesetting editing server 6 is a review output or a downgrading (S12: Yes), the process of step S13 is performed, and if not (S12: No), the step is performed. The process of S14 is performed.
[0058]
In step S13, when an unprocessed image is arranged on the target paper, a warning mark or a warning message is added to the output data. Specifically, the warning mark or warning message adding process is performed by the following processes (1) to (4). For example, if the paper surface to be output is paper surface # 1,
(1) The target record is the # 1 record.
(2) Whether or not the target record is an unprocessed arranged image is confirmed as follows. That is, the content of the element type 131SB (# 1) is “image”, the content of the arrangement state 131HS (# 1) is “arranged”, and the content of the image processing state 131KF (# 1) is “unprocessed”. If it is, the process of (3) is performed, and if not, the process of (4) is performed.
[0059]
(3) A warning mark or warning message as warning information is added to the output data. For example, the image ID of the warning message is given to the element ID 131ID (# 1) of the # 1 record, and the calculation is based on the arrangement position coordinates 131LY (# 1) and the image size 131SZ (# 1) of the # 1 record. This is done by giving a warning mark to the coordinate position.
[0060]
(4) When all the element information in the output page data file 13 has been processed, the output data is output to the output server 8; otherwise, the target record is set to the next record. As described above, the processing from (1) to (3) described above is performed. The display of warning messages and warning marks for unprocessed images on the typesetting terminal 5 will not be described here, but can be easily realized by performing the same processing as described above.
[0061]
As described above, in the newspaper page production system to which the newspaper page image update method according to the present embodiment is applied, when an unprocessed image is arranged due to the above-described operation, the output is performed. Warning marks or warning messages, which are warning information, are added to the data, so operators can easily recognize unprocessed images by looking at the warning information, reducing the burden of operator confirmation. can do. In addition, it is possible to prevent a large printing or a printing plate from being accidentally left unprocessed.
[0062]
(Second Embodiment)
A second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.
[0063]
The newspaper page production system to which the newspaper page image updating method according to the second embodiment is applied is an improvement of the newspaper page production system to which the newspaper page image updating method according to the first embodiment is applied. .
[0064]
That is, in the first embodiment, for example, when an image is used on a plurality of paper surfaces, the processed image must be retransmitted from the image server 4 to all the paper surfaces. A newspaper company that creates a plurality of local editions usually uses the same image (photograph) on a plurality of sheets of paper, so this is complicated in operation and is likely to cause trouble. For example, if the image a is used on both the paper surface # 1 and the paper surface # 2, but the processed image is retransmitted only on the paper surface # 1, the image a in the paper surface # 1 is replaced with the processed image. However, the image a in the paper surface # 2 remains as an unprocessed image.
[0065]
Even in such a case, the newspaper page production system to which the newspaper page image update method according to the present embodiment is applied uses the corresponding image only by resending the processed image once from the image server 4. It has a function of automatically replacing the image on the entire sheet.
[0066]
The configuration of the newspaper page production system to which the newspaper page image updating method according to this embodiment is applied is as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, and the newspaper page image update according to the first embodiment is performed. The configuration is the same as that of the newspaper production system to which the method is applied, and only the operation is different. Therefore, the description about the configuration is omitted here, and the operation of the image information update function at the time of resending the processed image of the unprocessed image is described using the flowchart shown in FIG.
[0067]
First, in step S21, the processing shown in the flowchart of FIG. 3 performed in the first embodiment is performed, and display image / actual image data update or new registration processing for the corresponding image in the paper data file storage unit 7 is performed. (S21).
[0068]
Next, the page data file 13 (# 1) of page # 1 stored in the page data file storage unit 7 is targeted (S22).
[0069]
In step S23, it is confirmed whether the target paper data file 13 is a paper different from the paper processed in step S21 (S23). For example, when the target page data file 13 is page # 1, the publication date 13KD (# 1), page name 13MN (# 1), and version name 13HN (# 1) of the page data file 13 are images. It is confirmed whether or not the date of publication 10KD of the data 10 matches the face name 10MN and the version name 10HN. If all match (S23: No), the process of step S27 is performed. If any one does not match (S23: Yes), the process of step S24 is performed.
[0070]
In step S24, it is confirmed whether or not an image that matches the designated image ID has been registered in the target sheet data file 13 in accordance with the processing shown in (1) to (5) below. For example, when the paper surface is the paper surface data file 13 (# 1) of the paper surface # 1,
(1) Element information of the # 1 record in the page data file 13 (# 1) is targeted.
(2) It is confirmed whether or not the element type 131SB (# 1) of the record of the target element information is “image”. If it is “image”, the following processing (3) is performed, and “image” Otherwise, the process (4) is performed. For example, when the target element information is the # 1 record, the element type 131SB (# 1) of the # 1 record is “image”, and therefore the following process (3) is performed. For example, when the target element information is a # 2 record, the element type 132SB (# 1) of the # 2 record is “article”, so the process (4) shown below is performed.
[0071]
(3) It is confirmed whether or not the element ID of the record of the target element information matches the designated image ID. If they match, the registration is completed, so the process of step S25 is performed. The following process (4) is performed. For example, when the target element information is the # 1 record, it is confirmed whether or not the element ID 131ID (# 1) of the # 1 record matches the image ID 10ID of the image data 10.
[0072]
(4) It is confirmed whether all the element information in the page data file 13 has been processed. If the element information of all the records has been processed, it is determined that the image has not been registered, and the process of step S27 is performed. Otherwise, the following (5) Is performed.
[0073]
(5) The above-described process (2) is performed until the target element information is the next record, and all the records are the target element information, and the above-described processes (2) to (4) are performed.

(2) The content of the actual image data 132RH of element # 2 is replaced with the actual image data 10RH of the image.
(3) The process of step S47 is performed.
[0112]
In step S47, it is confirmed whether or not processing has been performed for all the affiliated paper page information in the target record of the raw image affiliated paper page information 17. Then, when the processing is performed on all the affiliated paper page information in the target record of the unprocessed image affiliated paper page information 17, the process of step S49 is performed. Otherwise, the process of step S48 is performed.
[0113]
In step S48, the next assigned paper information is targeted as the assigned paper information in the target record of the unprocessed image assigned paper information 17. For example, if the current target record is the # 1 affiliation page information of the first record, the # 2 affiliation page information is set as the target sheet information, and the process of step S44 is performed.
[0114]
In step S49, it is confirmed whether or not the processing has been performed for all the records of the raw image belonging paper information 17. If processing has been performed on all the records of the raw image belonging paper information 17, the operation performed by the image registration unit 11 is terminated. If not, processing in step S50 is performed.
[0115]
In step S50, the target record of the raw image affiliation paper information 17 is set as the next record, and the process of step S42 is performed.
[0116]
As described above, in the newspaper page production system to which the newspaper page image update method according to the present embodiment is applied, the value of the page number in the unprocessed image page information 17 is used due to the above-described action. Thus, the paper surface data file 13 (# 1) of paper surface # 1 and the paper data file 13 (# 2) of paper surface # 2 in the paper data file storage unit 7 can be directly read. As a result, even if it is determined whether or not the corresponding image is used on a plurality of sheets, it is possible to avoid a wasteful search of the sheet data file 13 by referring to the raw image affiliation sheet information 17. Even if the number of the paper data files 13 is large, an efficient search can be realized without imposing a great load on the system.
[0117]
