However, the following embodiments do not limit the invention according to the scope of claims, and all combinations of features described in the embodiments are included. It is not necessarily essential for the solution of the invention.

  FIG. 1 shows an example of a personal computer 10. The personal computer 10 is an example of an information processing apparatus, and includes a main body 12, a display 14 that displays a user based on an output from the main body 12, a keyboard 16 as an example of input means from the user to the main body 12, and And a mouse 18. The personal computer 10 is connected to the printer 20 via a network. The printer 20 is an example of a recording device, and includes a main body 22, a display 24 that displays to the user based on an output from the main body 22, and an operation panel 26 as an example of input means from the user to the main body. Based on the recording command output from the personal computer 10, the recording content is recorded on recording paper with ink. Note that the recording command output from the personal computer 10 includes information regarding the recording contents and the amount of ink to be ejected.

  FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram illustrating the duplex printing function of the printer 20. The printer 20 has a double-sided printing function for recording the recording contents on both sides of the recording paper. First, as shown in FIG. 2A, the printer 20 rotates the paper feed roller 82 by a roller control unit (not shown) to convey the recording paper in the A direction, so that one surface of the recording paper (hereinafter, “ The recording content is recorded by ejecting ink from the recording head 80 on the “front surface”). Next, as shown in FIG. 2B, the printer 20 causes the roller control unit to rotate the paper feed roller 82 in the direction opposite to that shown in FIG. To reverse the front and back of the recording paper. Next, as shown in FIG. 2C, the printer 20 rotates the paper feed roller 82 in the same direction as that in FIG. 2A by the roller control unit to convey the recording paper in the A direction. The recording contents are recorded by ejecting ink from the recording head 80 on this surface (hereinafter referred to as “back surface”). The printer 20 includes a recording head control unit (not shown) that controls the recording head 80. The recording head control unit discharges ink from the recording head 80 or the number of head shots discharged in one head shot. Control the amount.

  FIG. 3 shows an example of a block diagram of the personal computer 10. The personal computer 10 includes an image presence / absence determination unit 110, an image position acquisition unit 130, an overlap determination unit 140, and a recording command output unit 150.

  The image presence / absence determination unit 110 receives a request from the user to record the recording contents on both sides of the recording paper. The image presence / absence determination unit 110 determines whether or not an image is included in each of the recording contents to be recorded on the front and back surfaces of the recording sheet when receiving a request to record the recording contents on both sides of the recording sheet. To do.

  The image position acquisition unit 130, when the image presence / absence determination unit 110 determines that each of the recorded contents to be recorded on the front and back surfaces of the recording sheet includes an image, the image included in each of the recorded contents To obtain a recording area for recording on the recording paper.

  The overlap determining unit 140 determines whether the image included in the recording content to be recorded on the front surface of the recording paper acquired by the image position acquisition unit 130 is recorded on the front surface of the recording paper and the recording content to be recorded on the back surface of the recording paper. It is determined whether or not at least a part of the surface area of the recording paper corresponding to the recording area on the back surface of the recording medium of the image to be included overlaps.

  When the overlap determination unit 140 determines that the front image and the back image overlap, the recording command output unit 150 applies at least one of the front image and the back image where the recording areas overlap. A recording command for reducing the amount of ink used is output to the printer 20. This reduces the density of images with a high degree of influence of back movement without changing the density of characters with a low influence of back movement or images with no overlap. It is possible to prevent depression.

  For example, the recording command output unit 150 reduces the amount of ink used for the image on the front surface where the recording areas overlap, and reduces the amount of ink used for the image on the back surface where the recording areas overlap. Is output to the printer 20. As a result, the back surface can be prevented more reliably.

  Further, for example, the recording command output unit 150 outputs to the printer 20 a recording command for reducing the amount of ink used for an image recorded on one of the front surface and the back surface to be recorded first. As a result, it is possible to increase the throughput of double-sided recording while preventing back-faced movement.

  Here, the recording command output unit 150 outputs a recording command for reducing the number of head shots for the image to the printer 20 as a recording command for reducing the amount of ink used for the image. The recording command output unit 150 may output to the printer 20 a recording command for reducing the amount of ink ejected in one head shot for the image, instead of the recording command for reducing the number of head shots. When the printer 20 receives a recording command for reducing the number of head shots for the image, the recording head control unit reduces the number of head shots for ejecting ink onto the image. In addition, when the printer 20 receives a recording command for reducing the amount of ink ejected in one head shot for the image, the printer 20 reduces the amount of ink ejected in one head shot for the image.

  Further, the recording command output unit 150 may output a recording command for reducing the amount of ink to the printer 20 in accordance with the overlapping area of the front surface image and the back surface image where the recording regions overlap. This can prevent back-facing depending on whether the range of back-facing is conspicuous.

  The storage medium 70 stores a program for causing the image presence / absence determination unit 110, the image position acquisition unit 130, the overlap determination unit 140, and the recording command output unit 150 to operate. The personal computer 10 may cause the operation of the image presence / absence determination unit 110 and the like to be performed by installing the program stored in the storage medium 70. Furthermore, as another method, the personal computer 10 may acquire such a program via a network.

  FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the personal computer 10. FIG. 5 shows an example of recorded contents displayed on the display 14. FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram for explaining an image recording area. FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram illustrating an image recording area. FIG. 8 schematically shows the recording contents recorded on the recording paper. FIG. 9 is a schematic diagram illustrating an image recording area. The flowchart shown in FIG. 4 starts when the image presence / absence determination unit 110 receives a request to record the recording contents on both sides of the recording sheet. For the sake of explanation, the image presence / absence determination unit 110 has received a request to record the recording content A of the first page shown in FIG. 5 on the front side of the recording paper and the recording content B of the second page on the back side of the recording paper. Shall. As shown in FIG. 5, the recorded content A includes an image r and an image s, and the recorded content B includes an image t, an image u, and text.

  First, the image presence / absence determination unit 110 delivers the recording content A and the recording content B to the recording command output unit 150. Next, the image presence / absence determination unit 110 determines whether an image is included in both the recording content A and the recording content B recorded on the front and back surfaces of the recording sheet (S100).

  In step S100, if the image presence / absence determining unit 110 determines that both the recorded content A and the recorded content B recorded on the front and back surfaces of the recording sheet include an image (S100: Yes), that fact. Is notified to the image position acquisition unit 130.

  Upon receiving the notification, the image position acquisition unit 130, as shown in FIG. 6A, the recording area R on the surface of the recording sheet of the image r included in the recording content A and the surface of the recording sheet of the image s. The recording area S is acquired (S110). Similarly, as shown in FIG. 6B, the image position acquisition unit 130 records the recording area T on the back surface of the recording paper of the image t included in the recording content B and the back surface of the recording paper of the image u. The recording area U is acquired (same step). For example, the image position acquisition unit 130 coordinates the upper left corner and the lower right corner on the surface of the recording area R, the coordinates of the upper left corner and the lower right corner on the surface of the recording area S, and the coordinates of the upper left corner and the lower right corner on the back surface of the recording area T. And the coordinates of the upper left corner and the lower right corner of the back surface of the recording area U are acquired. The image position acquisition unit 130 passes the acquired recording areas to the overlap determination unit 140.

  The overlap determination unit 140 determines whether or not the recording area R or the recording area S on the front surface of the recording paper and the surface area corresponding to the recording area T or the recording area U on the back surface of the recording paper overlap at least partially. Is determined (S120). First, the overlap determination unit 140 determines that the area in which FIG. 6B can be seen through the surface of the recording paper, that is, the area in which the recording area T and the recording area U are symmetrical with respect to the center line L shown in FIG. The recording area T ′ and the recording area U ′ shown in FIG. Then, the overlap determining unit 140 converts the recording area R or the recording area S shown in FIG. 6A and the recording area T ′ or the recording area U ′ shown in FIG. 7A as shown in FIG. 7B. It is determined whether or not at least partly overlaps. The broken lines shown in FIGS. 7A and 7B indicate that the area can be seen through, and the hatched area shown in FIG. 7B indicates the area where the recording area R and the recording area U ′ overlap. This is shown (the same applies to FIG. 9).

  In step S120, the overlap determining unit 140 includes at least a part of the recording area R or the recording area S on the front surface of the recording paper and the surface area corresponding to the recording area T or the recording area U on the back surface of the recording paper. If it is determined that they overlap (S120: Yes), the overlapping area is calculated. In the example shown in FIG. 7B, the overlap determination unit 140 determines that the recording region R and the recording region U ′ overlap at least partially, and calculates an area where the recording region R and the recording region U ′ overlap. The overlap determining unit 140 notifies the recording command output unit 150 that it has been determined that they overlap, the information for identifying the overlapping recording region R and recording region U ′, and the overlapping area.

  Upon receiving the notification, the recording command output unit 150 determines whether or not the overlapping area of the recording area R and the recording area U ′ is larger than a predetermined value (S130). For example, the recording command output unit 150 determines whether or not the overlapping area is larger than 250,000 dots (500 dots × 500 dots) (same step). This can prevent back-facing depending on whether the range of back-facing is conspicuous.

  In step S130, when the recording command output unit 150 determines that the overlapping area of the recording region R and the recording region U ′ is larger than a predetermined value (S130: Yes), the recording command output unit 150 includes the recording content A and the recording content B. A recording command for reducing the amount of ink used for the image r included in the recording content A recorded on the surface of the recording paper by 20% is output to the printer 20 (S140). And this flowchart is complete | finished. The printer 20 that has acquired this recording command uses the image r on the surface of the recording paper and an ink amount that is 20% less than the normal ink amount of the image r, as shown by the shaded area in FIG. And record.

  On the other hand, in step S130, when the recording command output unit 150 determines that the overlapping area of the recording area R and the recording area U ′ is not larger than a predetermined value (S130: No), the recording contents A and B are recorded. And a recording command for reducing the amount of ink used in the image r included in the recording content A recorded on the surface of the recording paper by 10% is output to the printer 20 (S150). And this flowchart is complete | finished. The printer 20 that has acquired this recording command uses the image r on the surface of the recording paper and an ink amount that is 20% less than the normal ink amount of the image r, as shown by the shaded area in FIG. And record.

  On the other hand, when the image presence / absence determination unit 110 determines in step S100 that an image is not included in at least one of the recording content A and the recording content B recorded on the front and back surfaces of the recording paper (S100: No), This is notified to the recording command output unit 150. Upon receiving the notification, the recording command output unit 150 outputs a recording command including the recording content A and the recording content B to the printer 20 (S160). And this flowchart is complete | finished.

  On the other hand, in step S120, the overlap determining unit 140 has at least one of the recording area R or the recording area S on the front surface of the recording paper and the surface area corresponding to the recording area T or the recording area U on the back surface of the recording paper. If it is determined that they do not overlap (S120: No), the recording command output unit 150 is notified that it is determined that they do not overlap. Upon receiving the notification, the recording command output unit 150 outputs a recording command including the recording content A and the recording content B to the printer 20 (S160). And this flowchart is complete | finished.

  As described above, according to this flowchart, the density of images that have a large influence on back-slip is reduced without changing the density of characters that have a low effect on back-slip. can do. As a result, it is possible to increase the throughput of double-sided recording while preventing back-faced movement.

  In step S140 or step S150, the recording command output unit 150 determines the amount of ink used for the image r included in the recording content A that is recorded first, among the images r and u that overlap on the front and back of the recording paper. However, the present invention is not limited to this. As an example, the recording command output unit 150 may output a recording command that reduces the amount of ink used for both the image r and the image u that overlap on the front and back of the recording paper. As a result, the back surface can be prevented more reliably. As another example, the recording command output unit 150 outputs a recording command for reducing the amount of ink used for the image u having the smaller image area among the images r and u that overlap on the front and back of the recording paper. May be. As a result, the conspicuous image can be prevented from back-inversion without changing the ink amount.

  As yet another example, in the case where the image s is not included in the recorded content A shown in FIG. 5, when the overlap determining unit 140 performs the comparison shown in FIG. The unit 150 may output a recording command for reducing the amount of ink used for the image r that has no image to be recorded on the same surface among the images r and u that overlap on the front and back of the recording paper. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the back side shift while maintaining the balance of light and shade with other images printed on the same surface.

  As another example, in an example in which the size of the image r of the recorded content A and the image s of the recorded content B shown in FIG. 5 are different, the overlap determining unit 140 performs the comparison shown in FIG. In this case, the recording command output unit 150 sets the ink used for the image r included in both of the set of the image r and the image u and the set of the image r and the image t that overlap on the front and back of the recording sheet. A recording command for reducing the amount may be output to the printer 20. As a result, the back surface can be prevented while reducing the amount of ink and minimizing the number of images to be recorded.

  In step S130 to step S150, the recording command output unit 150 outputs a recording command for reducing the amount of ink according to the overlapping area of the image r and the image u that overlap on the front and back of the recording paper, but is not limited thereto. . As an example, the recording command output unit 150 may output a recording command for reducing the amount of ink according to the area of the overlapping image r or image u.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the density of an image having a large influence of the back face is lowered without changing the density of the character or the like having a low influence of the back face. Can be prevented.
