Description

  The present invention relates to a print control apparatus suitable for creating a sticky note and a control program therefor.

  For example, in language learning, a word card in which unknown words and their meanings are written on the front and back of a card-like paper is created and used.

  In addition, in a book such as a textbook, a sticky note in which information such as an explanation or a note about the matter is pasted is pasted and used on a page that has a matter to be noted in its contents.

  In a conventional tape printer, when a first language (English) is input, the input first language is translated into a second language (Japanese), and the first language and the second language are strip-shaped tapes. In addition, the center guide line is added and printed in order. At this time, a binding hole for binding is formed at the front end portion and the rear end portion of the tape so as to overlap each other when folded in half along the center guide line. Thus, it is considered to easily create a desired word card (for example, see Patent Document 1).

Alternatively, it is activated in response to a connection communication signal with the tag printing machine 30 connected externally.

  The CPU 11 is connected to the memory 12, the recording medium reading unit 14, the communication unit 15, the key input unit 16, the main screen 17, the sub screen 18, and the like.

  The device control program stored in the memory 12 includes a system program that controls the overall operation of the device 10, each Web server 20 on the externally connected Internet N, a user PC (Personal Computer), and the tag printing machine. A communication program for data communication with 30 or the like is stored.

  In addition to displaying various dictionary data stored in the memory 12, a keyword search is performed in response to an input of a search word (search character string) (descriptive information corresponding to the keyword is acquired). Processing (explanatory information acquisition processing), read out the explanatory information corresponding to the searched headword (acquired explanatory information), and display it on the dictionary database 12b stored in the memory 12 A display control processing program for controlling the overall processing based on this is stored.

  Further, as the device control program, the sticky note printing machine 30 is controlled, and the headwords displayed by the headword search process and the explanation information display process and the explanation information are pasted on the book page. A print control processing program 12a for appropriately printing as a sticky note (word card) L is stored.

  The dictionary database 12b stores [elementary English-Japanese dictionary] [English-Japanese dictionary] [English-English dictionary], etc.

  The [Beginner English-Japanese Dictionary] is a basic English-Japanese dictionary for beginners, for example, in which English headwords in a range studied at elementary and junior high schools and their explanation information are collected in association with each other.

  In the work area of the memory 12, a word card data area 12c, a print data area 12d, and the like are secured.

  In the word card data area 12c, among the explanation information of the headword searched for the headword, according to the default or user operation, the kana reading (or phonetic symbol) of the headword is printed as (reading). In addition, the representative meaning of the headword is registered as a print item of (meaning).

  In the print data area 12d, the headword searched for the headword and the (reading) and (meaning) of the headword registered as each print item in the word card data area 12c are displayed on the tag printing machine. Print data for causing the label set to 30 to be printed as a sticky note L in an appropriate print format is generated and stored.

  FIG. 2 is a diagram for explaining a specific example when the printing control apparatus 10 is realized by the electronic dictionary apparatus 10D and the sticky note printing machine 30 is controlled to create the sticky note L.

  The key input unit 16 of the electronic dictionary device 10D includes a character input key 16a, a dictionary designation key 16b, a [translation / decision] key 16c, a [return] key 16d, and the like.

  As shown in FIG. 2A, in the explanation information screen G of the headword “vegetable” searched for the headword by the electronic dictionary device 10D, the portion of the kana reading “vegetable” is pen-touched P1 as shown by the arrow x1. The marker m1 is identified and displayed, and the portion of the representative meaning “vegetable” is designated by the pen touch P2 as indicated by the arrow x2, is identified and displayed by the marker m2, and the printing of the tag L is instructed.

  Then, in the electronic dictionary device 10D, the headword “vegetable”, the kana reading “vegetable”, and the representative meaning “vegetable” are displayed by a tag printing machine (label printer) 30 as shown in FIG. Print data Scp for printing on a label as a sticky note L as shown in FIG. 2C is generated and output to the sticky note printer 30.

  The sticky note printer 30 is equipped with a touch panel type display unit 31 for inputting and displaying various operation modes and handwritten data, and a cassette containing a label serving as a printing paper, and feeding out the label in the cassette. A printing unit 32 for printing the print data Scp, and a label discharge port 32a for discharging a label printed by the printing unit 32 are provided.

  The label used as the printing paper has a front surface (printing surface) as a printing surface and a back surface as a pasting surface, and the pasting surface is coated with an adhesive that can be repeatedly peeled off. Instead of applying an adhesive on the back surface, a material having adhesiveness on the material itself may be used on the back surface.

  In the electronic dictionary device 10D, the print data Scp prints the heading area Lw for printing the headword and the (reading) and (meaning) of the headword in the upper and lower stages from one end as the tag L of the label. The printing format is set in the order of the semantic area Ls, and the other end of the semantic area Ls is set as a pasting portion Lh that is pasted on a book page.

  The headline area Lw, the semantic area Ls, and the pasting portion Lh have the following relationship, and the print format is set.

Semantic area (Ls) -Heading area (Lw) = Paste part (Lh)
In the print data Scp, a crease line R as a mark for mountain fold is inserted at the boundary between the heading area Lw and the semantic area Ls.

  Thus, according to the print format of the print data Scp, in the sticky note L in which the headword “vegetable” is printed in the headline area Lw and the (reading) “vegetable” and (meaning) “vegetable” are printed in the semantic area Ls. When the heading area Lw is folded on the back side of the semantic area Ls as shown in FIG. 2 (D), only the pasting surface of the pasting portion Lh is obtained. It is exposed on the back side and can be used by pasting it on the right side of a book page, for example. In this case, the headword “vegetable” can be confirmed on the back side of the tag L by turning over the page on which the tag L is pasted.

  The printing format of the sticky note L shown in FIGS. 2C and 2D is a case where it is used by pasting it on the right side of the page. The order of the heading area Lw and the semantic area Ls in the format is reversed. In other words, from one end of the label as the tag L, the print format is set in the order of the meaning area Ls for printing the (reading) and (meaning) of the headword in the upper and lower stages, and the heading area Lw for printing the headword. Then, one end of the semantic area Ls is set as the pasting portion Lh.

  That is, in the case of the specific example shown in FIG. 2A to FIG. 2D, for example, the word “vegetable” described on the right page of an English book is searched for a headword by the electronic dictionary device 10D, and the tag is added. By simply instructing the printing of L, the word “vegetable” reading “vegetable” and the meaning “vegetable” are printed on the front surface (front surface), and the headword “ It is possible to create a sticky note L on which the “vegetable” is printed and pasted on the right side of the right page.

  In the print data Scp, as shown in FIGS. 2C and 2D, the address information of the entry word “vegetable” of the corresponding dictionary in the dictionary server (Web server 20) on the Internet N is shown. It prints on the tag L including the print data of the dimension code Q. As a result, as shown in FIG. 2 (E), the tablet terminal 40 provided with an imaging unit captures the two-dimensional code Q printed on the tag L, so that the tablet terminal 40 can easily store the dictionary server. The headword “vegetable” and its explanation information may be acquired by accessing and displayed on the display unit 41, or a reading voice “vegetable” 42 may be output.

  In the print control apparatus 10 configured in this way, the CPU 11 controls the operation of each part of the circuit in accordance with the instructions described in the print control processing program 12a, and the software and hardware operate in cooperation. A print control function for sticky note printing described in the following operation explanation is realized.

  Next, the operation of the print control apparatus 10 configured as described above will be described.

(First embodiment)
FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing print control processing (part 1) of the print control apparatus 10.

  FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing print control processing (part 2) of the print control apparatus 10.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating a display operation according to the print control process (part 1) of the print control apparatus 10 and the printing state of the tag L.

  Here, as in the case described with reference to FIG. 2, a specific example will be described in which an English word “vegetable” that cannot be understood from an English textbook is printed as a tag L of a word card.

  When [elementary English-Japanese dictionary] of the dictionary database 12b is designated in response to a user operation of the dictionary designation key 16b of the key input unit 16, a headword search screen (not shown) of the designated dictionary [elementary English-Japanese dictionary] Is displayed on the main screen 17 (step S1).

  When the unknown English word “vegetable” is input as a search character string in response to a user operation in the search word input area of this headword search screen (step S2), the input search character string is 1 Whether it is a word or not (a plurality of words) is determined (step S3).

  If it is determined that the input search character string “vegetable” is one word (step S3 (Yes)), the headword “vegetable” that matches the search character string is the specified dictionary [elementary English-Japanese dictionary]. The explanation information corresponding to the retrieved headword is read out and displayed on the main screen 17 as the explanation information screen G as shown in FIG. 5A (step S4).

  At this time, as shown in FIG. 5B, among the explanation information displayed on the explanation information screen G, the kana reading (or phonetic symbol) “vegetable” of the headword is selected by default and identified by the marker m1. At the same time, the first meaning (representative meaning) “vegetable” is also selected by default and is identified and displayed by the marker m2.

  Note that the meaning (representative meaning) of the headword identified and displayed by the marker m2 by default can be arbitrarily selected and changed according to a user operation as a portion to be printed on the tag L of the word card.

  Then, the kana reading (or phonetic symbol) “vegetable” of the headword identified and displayed by the marker m1 is read out and registered in the print item of (reading) in the word card data area 12c (step S5). .

  Further, the meaning (representative meaning) “vegetable” of the headword identified and displayed by the marker m2 in accordance with the default or user operation is read and registered in the (meaning) print item of the word card data area 12c. (Step S6).

  Here, if it is determined that the [memo pre] icon MP in the icon display area 17a displayed at the left end of the main screen 17 is pen-touched P, and it is determined that the tag printing is instructed (step S7 (Yes)), it is created. A pasting position designation window W having a right designation button SR and a left designation button SL for generating the designation of whether the sticky tag L should be pasted to the right side or the left side of the page is generated on the explanation information screen G. It is displayed (step S8).

  In this pasting position designation window W, when the left designation button SL is pen touched P and it is determined that the left side is designated as the sticking position of the tag L (step S8 (left side)), the left side as shown in FIG. 5 (CL). Print data Scp for generating a sticky note L for printing is generated and transmitted to the sticky note printer 30 (step S9).

  The print data Scp for the left side includes a heading area Lw in which the heading word “vegetable” is expanded on the left side of the sticky note L, and the kana reading “registered in the word card data area 12c on the right side of the sticky note L”. "Vegetable" is expanded, and the print data Scp of the print format that becomes the semantic area Ls in which the meaning "vegetable" registered in the word card data area 12c is expanded is generated.

  At this time, the right end in the semantic area Ls is set as the pasting portion Lh, and print data Scp having a printing format of [semantic area Ls−heading area Lw = pasting portion Lh] is generated.

  Of the print data Scp, the print data of the crease line R is added to the boundary position between the semantic area Ls and the heading area Lw, and the upper part of the semantic area Ls has a corresponding dictionary. Print data of the two-dimensional code Q indicating the address information of the headword “vegetable” is added.

  Then, the printing data Scp received from the printing control apparatus 10 by the tag printing machine 30 is printed on the label attached to the printing unit 32, and a tag L for the left side as shown in FIG. 5 (CL) is created. Is done.

  The created left sticky note L is folded at the crease line R as shown by an arrow U, and the heading area Lw is folded behind the semantic area Ls as shown in FIG. Thus, only the sticking surface of the sticking part Lh is exposed on the back side, and can be used by sticking to the left side of the page of the book, for example.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the right designation button SR is pen-touched P and the right side is designated as the sticking position of the tag L in the pasting position designation window W (step S8 (right side)), as shown in FIG. 5 (CR). Print data Scp for generating a right sticky note L is generated and transmitted to the sticky note printer 30 (step S10).

  In the right side print data Scp, the left side of the tag L expands the kana reading “vegetable” registered in the word card data area 12c in the upper row, and is registered in the word card data area 12c in the lower row. It is generated as print data Scp in a print format in which the meaning area Ls in which the meaning “vegetable” is expanded and the right side of the tag L is the headline area Lw in which the headword “vegetable” is expanded.

  At this time, the left end in the semantic area Ls is set as the pasting portion Lh, and print data Scp having a printing format of [semantic area Ls−heading area Lw = pasting portion Lh] is generated.

  In the case of the right side designation, as in the case of the left side designation, the print data of the crease line R is added to the boundary position between the semantic area Ls and the heading area Lw in the print data Scp. In the upper part of the semantic area Ls, print data of a two-dimensional code Q indicating the address information of the entry word “vegetable” of the corresponding dictionary is added.

  Then, the printing data Scp received from the printing control device 10 by the tag printing machine 30 is printed on the label attached to the printing unit 32, and a tag L for the right side as shown in FIG. 5 (CR) is created. Is done.

  Similarly to the case for the left side, the created sticky note L for the right side is folded at the crease line R as indicated by an arrow U, and as shown in FIG. 5 (DR), the heading area Lw Is folded on the back side of the meaning area Ls, so that only the pasting surface of the pasting part Lh is exposed on the back side, and can be used by being pasted on the right side of the front page Ba of the book, for example, as shown in FIG. .

  As a result, the user can easily confirm and learn the reading and meaning of the unknown English word “vegetable” contained in the front page Ba of the book by means of a sticky note L as a word card pasted on the right side of the page Ba. it can. Further, as shown in FIG. 5 (FR), the page where the headword “vegetable” is learned can be found at a glance by looking at the front page Ba to which the sticky note L is pasted and looking from the back side.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a usage example of the sticky note L that is printed and created in accordance with the print control process (part 1) of the print control apparatus 10.

  As described in accordance with FIGS. 5A, 5B, 5C, 5D, 5C, 5D, and 5E, the English word “vegetable” that is not shown on the front page Ba on the right side of the book is used for the right side. As shown in FIG. 6A, the created right-side tag L is pasted on the right side of the front page Ba, and the unknown English word “vegetable” is read. Can be used as a word card indicating meaning. Then, the page where the English word “vegetable” is learned can be found at a glance from the back page Bb side of the front page Ba pasted with the tag L.

  Further, in the printing control of the tag L, based on the printed matter “vegetable” and the meaning printed matter “vegetable” corresponding to the search headword “vegetable” registered in the word card data area 12c, FIG. As shown in (B), using the main screen 17 which is the touch panel type display unit as a spelling input screen GD, pen-input P the spelling of the English word corresponding to the reading and meaning printed on the tag L, Spelling learning can be performed by judging and displaying the correct / incorrect answer.

A binding hole H is formed in the vicinity of the center. Then, each of the sticky notes L1, L2,... Is bound by using a ring-shaped binding member O passed through the binding hole H, so that the meaning area Ls is read for each of the sticky notes L1, L2,. It can be used as a word book that can be confirmed by speaking English words in the headline area Lw corresponding to the meaning.

(Second Embodiment)
FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating a display operation according to the print control process (part 2) of the print control apparatus 10 and a printing state of the tag L.

  In the entry word search screen of the specified dictionary [elementary English-Japanese dictionary] displayed on the main screen 17 (step S1), an unknown English word input in response to a user operation in the search word input area is a verb and If it is determined that a plurality of words such as prepositions are input (steps S2 and S3 (No)), the meaning / usage search processing shown in FIG. 4 is performed.

  Here, a specific example in the case where “stay with” that is not understood as the usage of the English word “stay” is searched and printed as a tag L of the word card will be described.

  First, in the search character string “stay with” input in the search word input area, a headword that matches a verb or an adjective (here, the verb “stay”) is searched from the specified dictionary [elementary English-Japanese dictionary]. As shown in FIG. 7A, an explanation information screen G corresponding to the searched headword “stay” is displayed on the main screen G (step S11).

  Then, the description part of the usage corresponding to the search character string “stay with” input as the plurality of words (here, verb + preposition) is searched from the description information of the headword “stay”, and FIG. ), The explanation information screen G scrolled to the explanation part of the searched “stay with” usage is displayed (step S12).

  Then, the kana reading and the phonetic symbol “stei stay” are read from the description information of the headword “stay” and registered in the print item of (reading) in the word card data area 12c (step S13). In addition, the English word “stay” is searched by the normal headword search, and the explanation part of the desired usage (for example, the explanation part of the usage corresponding to “stay with”) is selected from the explanation information by the user operation. It may be displayed, and the explanation part of the usage of “stay with” may be registered as a print item by a user registration operation.

  Further, in the explanation information screen G of the usage of the search character string “stay with”, the English part “stay with A” of the usage is identified and displayed by a red marker ma, and the (English part) of the word card data area 12c is displayed. Registered for printing. Further, the semantic part of the usage “stay in the house of <A> person” is identified and displayed by the blue marker mb and registered in the (meaning) printed matter of the word card data area 12c (step S14).

  Here, when it is determined that the [memo pre] icon MP on the main screen 17 is instructed to perform the tag printing by the pen touch P1 (step S15 (Yes)), the right designation button SR as in the first embodiment is determined. A position designation window W including the left designation button SL is generated and displayed on the explanation information screen G (step S16).

  When the left designation button SL is touched with the pen in the pasting position designation window W and it is determined that the left side is designated as the pasting position of the tag L (step S16 (left side)), the left side as shown in FIG. The print data Scp for generating the sticky note L is generated and transmitted to the sticky note printer 30 (step S17).

  In the left side print data Scp, the left side of the tag L expands the English portion “stay with A” registered in the word card data area 12c in the lower row, and the English portion “stay with A” in the upper row. The heading area Lw is expanded by replacing the prepositions of “” (here “With”) with the “?” Mark, and the right side of the tag L is the reading “stei stay” registered in the word card data area 12c in the lower row. ”Is developed, and print data Scp of the print format that becomes the meaning area Ls in which the meaning“ staying in the house of A <person> ”registered in the word card data area 12c is developed.

  At this time, as in the first embodiment, the right end in the semantic area Ls is set as the pasting portion Lh, and print data Scp having a printing format of [semantic area Ls−heading area Lw = pasting portion Lh] is generated. .

  Of the print data Scp, the print data of the crease line R is added to the boundary position between the semantic area Ls and the heading area Lw, and the lower portion of the pasting portion Lh in the semantic area Ls. The print data of the cut line V is added to the start position.

  Then, the printing data Scp received from the printing control apparatus 10 by the tag printing machine 30 is printed on the label attached to the printing unit 32, and a tag L for the left side as shown in FIG. 7 (CL) is created. Is done.

  On the other hand, when the right designation button SR is touched with the pen in the pasting position designation window W and it is determined that the right side is designated as the pasting position of the tag L (step S16 (right side)), as shown in FIG. 7 (CR). Print data Scp for creating the right sticky note L by printing is generated and transmitted to the sticky note printer 30 (step S18).

  In the right side print data Scp, the right side of the tag L expands the English portion “stay with A” registered in the word card data area 12c in the lower row, and the English portion “stay with A” in the upper row. The heading area Lw is expanded by replacing the prepositions of “” (here “With”) with a “?” Mark, and the left side of the tag L is the reading “stei stay” registered in the word card data area 12c in the lower row. ”Is developed, and print data Scp of the print format that becomes the meaning area Ls in which the meaning“ staying in the house of A <person> ”registered in the word card data area 12c is developed.

  At this time, similarly to the first embodiment, the left end in the semantic area Ls is set as the pasting portion Lh, and print data Scp having a printing format of [semantic area Ls−heading area Lw = pasting portion Lh] is generated. .

  In the case of the right side designation, as in the case of the left side designation, the print data of the crease line R is added to the boundary between the semantic area Ls and the heading area Lw in the print data Scp. The print data of the cut line V is added to the start position of the pasting portion Lh in the lower part of the semantic area Ls.

  Then, the printing data Scp received from the printing control apparatus 10 by the tag printing machine 30 is printed on the label attached to the printing unit 32, and a tag L for the right side as shown in FIG. 7 (CR) is created. Is done.

  The created right sticky note L is first cut at the cut line V, and is folded in a mountain so that the upper and lower portions of the sticky note L are front and back as indicated by an arrow U1. . Next, as shown by the arrow U2, the mountain is folded at the crease line R, and the heading area Lw is folded to the back side of the semantic area Ls, so that only the sticking surface of the sticking portion Lh is exposed to the back side. You can paste it on the left side of the page.

  In other words, the sticky note L created from the above semantic usage search has the meaning “Let's stay in the house of“ A ”” on the front (front surface) of the meaning area Ls, and the preposition on the back of the heading area Lw. This is a sticky note L for learning the semantic meaning in which the English part “stay? A” of the usage is replaced with “?” Mark.

  FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of use of the tag L for word meaning usage learning created in accordance with the print control process (part 2) of the print control apparatus 10.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 8 (A), when there is a word combination “stay with” which is the usage of the English word “stay” that the user does not understand on the page Ba while browsing an English book, the page Ba The marker m is drawn on the upper word combination “stay with”, and the right sticky note L is printed and created as shown in FIGS. 7A, 7B, and 7C.

  Then, when this right sticky note L is pasted on the right side of the page Ba of the book and used, the word combination “stay with” with the marker m subtracted means “stay in the house of A <person>” As shown in FIG. 8B, when the page Ba is turned over, the heading area upper section Lwu of the tag L reversed to the left side of the back page Bb as shown in FIG. 8B. , The usage of the word combination “stay with A” can be confirmed as a perforated problem “stay? A” with the preposition omitted.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 8C, when the sticky note L is expanded from the crease line R, the prefix “with” of the perforated problem “stay? In the lower area Lsd, the kana reading of the word “stay” and the phonetic symbol “stei stay” can be confirmed.

  That is, in the case of the second embodiment, for example, the word combination “stay with” described in the page Ba of an English book is used as a search character string, and the printing control device 10 searches the meaning and usage and prints the tag L. Just by giving instructions, it is very easy to print the meaning (meaning) “stay in A's house” of the word combination usage “stay with A” on its surface (front surface). A sticky note L having a character string “stay with A” printed on the back side can be created.

  As a result, the user can use the word card (meaning / usage) as the word card (word meaning / usage) pasted on the right or left side of the page Ba, with the meaning and usage of the combination “stay with” the English word not included in the page Ba of the book. You can easily check and learn with the sticky note L.

  Therefore, according to the tag printing control function of the printing control apparatus 10 having the above-described configuration, when the word “vegetable” described in the page of the book being browsed by the user is searched as a search character string, The explanation information screen G of the headword “vegetable” retrieved from the dictionary [elementary English-Japanese dictionary] is displayed, the kana reading “vegetable” of the headword “vegetable” selected from the explanation information and the meaning “vegetable” Are identified and displayed by the markers m1 and m2. When the tag printing is instructed, the identified and displayed kana reading “vegetable” and the meaning “vegetable” are developed in the meaning area Ls on the sticking portion Lh side of the tag L to be created, and the headword “vegetable” is displayed. Is generated in the heading area Lw on the side opposite to the sticking part Lh of the sticky note L to be created, and is generated and transmitted to the sticky note printer 30.
