BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a newspaper / magazine production system, and more specifically, production of newspapers and magazines having a function of laying out a winning team name, a score, and a losing team name in a well-balanced manner when arranging sports competition results in articles. It is about the system.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In the editing of newspapers and magazines composed of materials such as articles, images, and photos, it is very important to create a paper layout efficiently. In order to efficiently create such a paper layout, for example, an invention as shown in Patent Document 1 has been made. Newspapers and magazines include articles of various genres such as social articles, political articles, economic articles, and international articles. The technology disclosed in Patent Document 1 improves the efficiency of creating a paper layout for these articles. Was planned.
[0003]
However, in addition to these articles, sports articles are also published in newspapers and magazines. Sports articles have unique characteristics that differ from social articles, political articles, economic articles, and international articles. It is the posting of the match results. In the case of newspapers, the posting of this match result has a rule of laying out under predetermined conditions as shown below.
[0004]
That is, the posting of the competition results must be laid out in “columns” consisting of 15 characters / line of characters called “single-size characters” having a size of about 2 mm, as shown in FIG. Therefore, the height of one step is about 3 cm. In addition, as shown in FIG. 25, one page of the newspaper is formed by stacking 15 such “columns”.
[0005]
In this way, the result of the sports competition is laid out with a single character of 15 characters / line within a single dimension. However, since there are differences in the scores for each competition and the expression of the competition results, for example, as shown in FIG. 26, the layout forms are different.
[0006]
The layout form shown in FIG. 26 (a) is a format called “454 form”, and the name is 4 characters, the total score is 1 character, and the score is 3 characters.
[0007]
The layout form shown in FIG. 26B is a format called “535 form”, and a name is 5 characters and a score is 3 characters, and a parenthesis is added above and below the score. The total score is not listed.
[0008]
The layout form shown in FIG. 26 (c) is a form called “anomaly 454 form”, and a parenthesis is added to the top and bottom of the score with a name of 4 characters, a total score of 1 character, and a score of 4 characters.
[0009]
The layout form shown in FIG. 26 (d) is a form called “paren-less 535 form”, and the name is 5 characters and the score is 3 characters, and no paren is added above and below the score.
[0010]
The layout form shown in FIG. 26 (e) is a form called “paren-free 454 form”, which has a name of 4 characters and a score of 5 characters, and no paren is added to the top and bottom of the score.
[0011]
The layout form shown in FIG. 26 (f) is a format called “group battle 454 form”, with a winning and losing character, a name of 3 characters, a total score of 1 character, and a score of 3 characters, with parentheses above and below the score.
[0012]
The layout form shown in FIG. 26 (g) is a format called “group battle 535 form”, and there is 1 character for winning and losing, 4 characters for the name, and 3 characters for the score.
[0013]
Articles of the battle results expressed by any one of the above layout forms are sent from the news agency in any text format shown in FIGS. 27 (a) to 27 (g). That is, when it is sent in the text format of FIG. 27A, it is displayed as shown in FIG. FIG. 27B is shown in FIG. 26B, FIG. 27C is shown in FIG. 26C, FIG. 27D is shown in FIG. 26D, and FIG. FIG. 27 (f) corresponds to FIG. 26 (f), and FIG. 27 (g) corresponds to FIG. 26 (g).

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
[0031]
An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 25 and FIG.
[0032]
FIG. 1 is a functional block diagram showing an example of a newspaper magazine production system according to an embodiment of the present invention.
[0033]
That is, the newspaper magazine production system according to the embodiment of the present invention includes an article input proofreading terminal 12, an article server 14, an image input processing terminal 16, an image server 18, and a typesetting connected to each other via a bus 10. A terminal 20, a typesetting server 22, a large printing printer 24, an editing output server 26, and a composition printer 28 are provided.
[0034]
The article input proofreading terminal 12 is a terminal for inputting and proofreading an article. When article data is input by a reporter, the input article data is output from the article input proofreading terminal 12 to the article server 14. I try to do it. As shown in FIG. 27, the article data is data in a text format indicating the sports competition result, and is created so as to be laid out in “columns” consisting of 15 characters / line as shown in FIG. . The article input proofreading terminal 12 acquires article data stored in the article server 14. The acquired article data is proofread by an operator operation performed via the article input proofreading terminal 12, and the proofread article data is output again from the article input proofreading terminal 12 to the article server 14. .
[0035]
As described above, the article server 14 receives the article data from the communication company 30 via the communication line in addition to the article data inputted from the article input proofreading terminal 12. This article data also includes article data of sports competition results as shown in FIG. This article data is composed of character data and includes winning team name information, score information, and losing team name information. When the article server 14 acquires the article data of the sport competition result, the article server 14 outputs the acquired article data to the typesetting server 22 and further outputs it to the typesetting terminal 20.
[0036]
Article data other than sports competition results is temporarily stored in the article server 14, and when requested by the article input proofreading terminal 12, corresponding article data is output to the article input proofreading terminal 12. Further, the accumulated article data is output to the typesetting server 22 based on an operator instruction.
[0037]
The image input processing terminal 16 includes a scanner, a display, and the like, and inputs image data and processes image data. When image data is input, the image input processing terminal 16 outputs the input image data to the image server 18. In addition, the image data is processed based on the processing operation input of the image data input from the operator, and the processed image data is output to the image server 18.
[0038]
The image server 18 acquires and accumulates image data output from the image input processing terminal 16. The image data stored in this way is output to the image input processing terminal 16 when requested by the image input processing terminal 16. When there is an instruction from the operator, it is output to the typesetting server 22.
[0039]
The typesetting terminal 20 is a terminal through which an operator performs operation input for editing the layout of articles, images, and headings, and one terminal is provided for each operator. Each operator performs layout editing work by operating the typesetting terminal 20 that he / she is responsible for. Operation information generated by operation input to the typesetting terminal 20 is output to the typesetting server 22.
[0040]
In addition, when the typesetting terminal 20 outputs the article data of the sports competition result output from the article server 14 to the typesetting server 22 and further output therefrom, the data structure of the article data is analyzed. Then, based on the analysis result, field information for arranging the contents of the article data on the page is determined. As described above, the result of the battle must be laid out in “columns” consisting of 15 characters / line of characters called “single character” having a size of about 2 mm, as shown in FIG. Don't be. Although described in the prior art, the basis for this will be described below.
[0041]
That is, FIG. 25 is a conceptual diagram showing a general 15-stage paper configuration. On the newspaper surface, as shown in FIG. 25, one page is divided into 15 parts in the Y direction, and the divided 1/15 unit is referred to as a “column”. The height of one stage is about 3 cm, and as shown in FIG. Therefore, the size of one character is about 2 mm.
[0042]
According to the present invention, conversion data for converting into display data that can be arranged in the conventional paper configuration based on article data of sports competition results transmitted from the news agency 30 is provided. It is generated automatically.
[0043]
For example, as shown in FIG. 28, the field information is information defining what layout configuration is used to arrange a winning team name, a score, a game result, a losing team name, etc. in the 15 characters. Next, the article data is edited according to each field information whose configuration is determined, and edited data is created. Furthermore, the layout of the article data of the sports competition result is completed by arranging according to the edited data.
[0044]
Below, the analysis method of a data structure is demonstrated.
That is, the typesetting terminal 20 includes an article data pattern discrimination table as shown in FIG. As described above, the result of the battle must be laid out in “columns” consisting of 15 characters / line of characters called “single character” having a size of about 2 mm, as shown in FIG. Don't be. “Book” in FIG. 2 indicates 15 characters included in one line in this way. In addition, “number” in FIG. 2 represents the number of characters from the center height corresponding to “book” = 0. Furthermore, the “discrimination character” in FIG. 2 is compared with whether it is discriminated as “454 form”, “535 form”, “anomalous 454 form”, “paren-free 535 form”, or “paren-free 454 form”. The discrimination conditions for this are shown.
[0045]
For example, when “book” = 5 and “number” = 3, if “□”, “454 form” or “paren-free 454 form” is determined, and if a Western numeral, “abnormal 454 form” is determined.
[0046]
When the typesetting terminal 20 outputs the article data of the sports competition results output from the article server 14 to the typesetting server 22 and further output from the article server 14, the article data shown in FIG. By comparing with the discrimination character in the pattern discrimination table, it is discriminated which pattern shown from “454 form” to “paren-free 454 form” corresponds. Since the patterns shown in “454 form” to “paren-free 454 form” are different from the fifth character to the eleventh character, which form is compared by comparing the fifth character to the eleventh character. Determine. If it is determined that the form is “454 form” or “535 form”, whether or not it is a team battle form based on the first and fifteenth characters as shown in FIG. Is determined. That is, if the pattern of the first character and the 15th character in the same column is any one of the three patterns “□ and □”, “◯ and □”, and “□ and ○”, “454” It is determined that “form” is “group battle 454 form” and “535 form” is “group battle 535 form”.
[0047]
Next, a method for determining field information will be described.
The typesetting terminal 20 includes a layout pattern table as shown in FIG. Then, by referring to the layout pattern table, the layout configuration corresponding to the analyzed data configuration form is extracted to determine the field configuration.
[0048]
The field information corresponding to each data structure is as shown in FIGS. That is, in the case of “454 form”, as shown in FIG. 4, “form with 4 characters for name, 1 character for total score, 3 characters for score with paren above and below the score”. Field information as shown in FIG. Similarly, in the case of “535 form”, the field information is as shown in FIG. 6, in the case of “anomaly 454 form”, the field information is as shown in FIG. The field information is as shown in FIG. 8, in the case of “paren-free 454 form”, the field information is as shown in FIG. 9, and in the case of “organization 454 form”, the field information is as shown in FIG. ", The field information is as shown in FIG.
[0049]
In the case of “454 form” shown in FIG. 5, “535 form” shown in FIG. 6, “anomalous 454 form” shown in FIG. 7, and “organization 454 form” shown in FIG. As a display area, one character is secured for each winning team paren and losing team paren.
[0050]
Next, a method of editing article data according to each field information whose configuration is determined and creating edited data will be described by taking the case of “454 form” as an example.
[0051]
As shown in FIG. 5, “454 form” includes 7 of the winning team name, winning team total score, winning team paren, game result, losing team paren, losing team total score, and losing team name. Consists of two fields. Further, the number of characters in each field is 4 characters, 1 character, 1 character, 3 characters, 1 character, 1 character, 4 characters in order. In the edited data, such a field configuration is represented as shown in FIG. In FIG. 12A, [Sport S] is a control character indicating the start of edited data, [Character Number] indicates the number of characters in each field, and [Delimiter] indicates the end of the field configuration.
[0052]
Next, as shown below, the first field that is the winning team name, the second field that is the total score of the winning team, the third field that is the winning team paren, and the fourth field that is the game result, Characters corresponding to the fifth field that is the losing team paren, the sixth field that is the losing team total score, and the seventh field that is the losing team name are extracted from the article data and assigned.
[0053]

When this article data is received by the article server 14, it is output from the article server 14 and acquired by the typesetting terminal 20 (S2).
[0074]
Analysis of the data structure of this article data is started in the typesetting terminal 20 as follows (S3). That is, the typesetting terminal 20 is provided with an article data pattern discrimination table as shown in FIG. When article data (text format) of a sports competition result is output from the article server 14 to the typesetting terminal 20, the article data is compared with the article data pattern discrimination table to determine which pattern data shown in FIG. It is determined whether it corresponds to the configuration.
[0075]
Specifically, as the first step, the first character and the fifteenth character are extracted from the article data of the sports competition result in the text format. Then, as shown in FIG. 21, when the first character is a blank character and the fifteenth character is a blank character, or when the first character is a round character and the fifteenth character is a blank character, Is a blank character and the 15th character is a round character, it is determined that the team battle form. Therefore, it is determined that the other forms are forms other than the team battle (S4).
[0076]
  6 sentencesCharacterEyes are taken out. Then, in the case of a single pillar (S5: Yes), as shown in FIG. 22, if the sixth character is a number and it is determined as a form other than the team battle in step S4, it is determined as “454 form”. The If the sixth character is a number and is determined to be a team battle form in step S4, it is determined to be a “group battle 454 form”. If the sixth character is a blank character and it is determined as a form other than the team battle in step S4, it is determined as “535 form”. If the sixth character is a blank character and is determined as a team battle form in step S4, it is determined as a “group battle 535 form”. When the sixth character is “single”, “double” or “mixed”, it is determined as “anomalous 454 form” (S6).
[0077]
On the other hand, when it is other than a single pillar (S5: No), as shown in FIG. 23, for the case where the sixth character is a blank character and the form is determined to be a form other than the team battle in step S4, 535 form ". If the sixth character is a blank character and is determined to be a team battle form in step S4, it is determined to be a “group battle 535 form”. If the sixth character is other than a blank character, it is determined as “paren-free 454 form” (S7).
[0078]
Then, the typesetting terminal 20 determines field information based on the determined form (S8). The field information includes the elements of the organization ○, winning team name, winning team total score, winning team paren, score, losing team paren, losing team total score, losing team name, and organization ○ that make up the sports match result. This is dimension information of the region.
[0079]
The typesetting terminal 20 is provided with a layout pattern table as shown in FIG. 4, and field information corresponding to each form is also predetermined and stored. That is, the field information corresponding to “454 form” is as shown in FIG. 5, the field information corresponding to “535 form” is as shown in FIG. 6, and the field information corresponding to “abnormal 454 form” is as shown in FIG. The field information corresponding to “Paren-free 535 form” is as shown in FIG. 8, and the field information corresponding to “Paren-free 454 form” is as shown in FIG. The field information corresponding to “Group 535 form” is as shown in FIG.
[0080]
Therefore, field information for each article data is determined by extracting corresponding field information based on the determined form.
[0081]
Further, the article data is edited according to the determined field information, and edited data is created (S9). Then, the edited data is developed on the paper surface, whereby the article data is arranged on the paper surface (S10). Note that the corresponding article data may be directly applied and arranged in the corresponding field without creating edited data.
[0082]
Thereafter, the edited data is output from the typesetting terminal 20 to the editing output server 26, developed into dot data by the editing output server 26, and then from the large printing printer 24 or the block printing printer 28 to the large printing or block printing. (S11).
