That is, a line feed tag <div> is added after the second vertical typesetting end tag </ span> after the character set "080-1234567" to generate the horizontal typesetting print data shown in FIG.

FIG. 16 is a schematic view displayed on the screen after switching the print content in which the format according to the embodiment of the present invention has been set from horizontal writing mode to vertical writing mode.

Once the current horizontal typesetting print data is generated, the edit control unit 15 controls the vertical typesetting editor and uses the input display unit 16 to set the print content in the vertical typesetting direction and corresponding to the current horizontal typesetting print data. The setting format is displayed on the second typesetting edit screen 143, and the image of the displayed result is as shown in FIG.

In this embodiment, the areas and buttons on the second typesetting edit screen 143 and the areas and buttons on the print content input screen match. That is, the second typesetting edit screen 143 also has the same typesetting direction selection area 143a, format setting area 143b, input display area 143c, and print button 143d.

On the second typesetting edit screen 143, the print button 143d can directly print the current print content, and the print content can be further edited, for example, by resetting the format of each character set. Once the user completes the edit, the edit control unit 15 controls the vertical typesetting editor to generate the vertical typesetting print data according to the print content edited by the user and the vertical typesetting format tag to be supported. Use vertical typesetting print data.

For the vertical typesetting print data, the print image generation unit 21 generates a print bitmap based on the current vertical typesetting print data, and the decomposition unit 211, the character position determination unit 212, the single column bitmap generation unit 213, and the print bitmap. It has a generation unit 214.

The decomposition unit 211 divides the vertical typesetting print data into n lines of data waiting to be processed based on the line feed tag in the current vertical typesetting print data, and n is an integer larger than 0. In this embodiment, since the print content at the present time is two lines, the acquired vertical print data is divided into two lines of waiting data for processing.

The character position determination unit 212 acquires the width of each print character in the processing waiting data, further acquires the width of the print character having the widest width in the processing waiting data to obtain the width of the single-column bitmap, and in the setting format. The position of each printed character in the single-column bitmap is specified and used as the character position information according to the alignment method and the width of the single-column bitmap.

」の幅が最も大きく、したがってその幅を第1列のビットマップの幅とする。第2行の印刷コンテンツにおいて、フォントサイズが24ポイントの文字セット「理光」の幅が最も大きく、したがってその幅を第2列のビットマップの幅とする。 In the print content of the first line, the character set with a font size of 18 points "
(Outside 19)

Is the largest, so let that width be the width of the bitmap in the first column. In the print content of the second line, the width of the character set "Riko" with a font size of 24 points is the largest, so that width is taken as the width of the bitmap in the second column.

In this embodiment, the alignment method of the print contents can be set, and the buttons of the alignment method are not displayed in the schematic diagram of the screen. The user can set the alignment method of the print content to "left-justified", "center-justified", or "right-justified". Next, the character position determination unit 212 determines the position of each printed character in the single-column bitmap according to the set alignment method and the width of the single-column bitmap.

The single-column bitmap generation unit 213 generates a single-column bitmap corresponding to the data in each row based on the second typesetting format tag and the character position information.

The print bitmap generation unit 214 generates a print bitmap for printing according to the width of the single-column bitmap and the width of the print head of the handy printer.

Since the head width of the handy printer 2 may be larger than the width of one or more single-column bitmaps, it is possible to print a plurality of columns of bitmaps at one time in the one-sided slide printing operation. The print bitmap generation unit 214 sequentially synthesizes a plurality of single-column bitmaps according to the width of the print head to generate a print bitmap. The print bitmap can satisfy the requirement that the width of the single-column bitmap is accumulated and smaller than the bitmap generated by synthesizing the largest number of single-column bitmaps with the head width of the handy printer 2.

The print data generation unit 22 converts each pixel in the print bitmap into binary data to obtain print bitmap data.

The processing side communication unit 23 has a data transmission function. Once the print data generation unit 22 generates the print bitmap data, the processing side communication unit 23 transmits the print bitmap data to the handy printer 2.

The processing side control unit 24 stores a computer program that controls the operation of each component of the print data processing device 1.

The handy printer 2 is a portable printer that can be carried by the user, and the user can easily print the print content to be printed to any position on the print medium by printing while sliding to different positions on the print medium. ..

The sensing unit 27 senses a situation in which the user presses the side of the handy printer 2 on which the print head is located against the print medium, and presses the handy printer 2 against the print medium to slide. The status of the slide indicates whether the handy printer 2 has slid a certain distance.

The housing of the handy printer 2 has a print button, and each time the user presses the print button, the sensing unit 27 detects whether or not the user presses the handy printer 2 against the print medium and slides it. Once the sensing unit 27 senses that the user is pressing the handy printer 2 against the print medium and sliding it, the print side control unit 29 controls the inkjet printing unit 26, and the print data received by the print side communication unit is used. Slide print in the print box group accordingly. Further, when the sensing unit 27 detects that the handy printer 2 has left the printing medium, it controls the inkjet printing unit 26 to stop printing, thereby completing the current slide printing.

In this embodiment, when the sensing unit 27 senses that the handy printer 2 has left the print medium regardless of whether the inkjet printing unit 26 has completed printing the current print data, the printing side control unit 29 ejects the ink jet. It is considered that the printing unit 26 is controlled to stop printing and the current slide printing is completed.

At the same time, when the slide printing is completed each time, the printing side control unit 29 controls the printing side communication unit 28 and transmits one slide printing completion information corresponding to the current print data to the print data processing device 1.

The print-side control unit 29 stores a computer program that controls the operation of each component of the handy printer 2.

<Role and effect of the example>
In the process of switching between horizontal composition and vertical composition by the print data processing device and printing system provided by this embodiment, first, the current first typesetting print data is analyzed, and then the first typesetting-related correspondence table is created based on the analysis result. Generate and convert the tags in the table to generate the second typesetting related correspondence table, and finally combine the character set and the tag in the second typesetting related correspondence table, and it is accurately recognized by the second typesetting editor. It is possible to acquire the current second typesetting print data, thereby avoiding repeated operations by leaving the format set in the first typesetting by the user.

In addition, according to a predetermined analysis rule, the relationship between the character set and the first typesetting format tag can be obtained by analysis by reading the current first typesetting only once, and there is no need to repeatedly read the data processing. The speed can be improved. It can be converted by generating the corresponding first typesetting related correspondence table based on the relation, and then converting the first typesetting format tag in the table to the second typesetting format tag. It also saves memory for program operation.

In addition, the edit control unit controls the second typesetting editor to display the print content input by the user based on the current typesetting print data by the input display unit according to the format set as the second typesetting direction, and the user inputs. The printed content after converting between horizontal typesetting and vertical typesetting can be viewed on the display unit. If the user is satisfied, it can be printed directly, and if the user is not satisfied, it can be printed after performing secondary editing based on the converted display image.

Further, in the conventional technique, when the print bitmap is generated, the horizontal typesetting editor or the vertical typesetting editor is generated based on the image of the print content displayed by the input display. Since the resolution of the input display unit may be smaller than the resolution of the handy printer, a situation may occur in which printing is not clear. However, since the print image generation unit according to the present embodiment directly generates a print bitmap based on the second format print data (vertical format print data), it prints based on the binary print bitmap data corresponding to the bitmap. The sharpness of the printed image can be guaranteed.

The above-described embodiment is an example of a specific embodiment of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to the description contents of the above-mentioned embodiment.

For example, in the above embodiment, the first typesetting editor can be a vertical typesetting editor, and the second typesetting editor can also be a horizontal typesetting editor. When the user inputs the print content in the vertical typesetting direction, sets the format, and then changes the vertical typesetting to the horizontal typesetting, the user can also process using the print data processing apparatus of the present invention, and the processing process is carried out as described above. In the example, it is similar to the process of changing horizontal typesetting to vertical typesetting. For example, the vertical typesetting editor generates vertical typesetting print data including the vertical typesetting format tag corresponding to the character set and the set format based on the print content input by the user and the format of the set character set, and the related analysis unit generates the vertical typesetting print data. The vertical typesetting print data is analyzed based on a predetermined analysis rule in the embodiment, and the relationship between the vertical typesetting format tag and the character set is acquired. Specifically, first determine the child elements of the vertical typesetting format tag, then the first typesetting-related correspondence table generates a vertical typesetting-related correspondence table based on the relevance acquired by analysis, and the tag conversion unit is related to vertical typesetting. All the vertical typesetting format tags in the correspondence table are converted into horizontal typesetting format tags, thereby forming a horizontal typesetting related correspondence table. Further, the second typesetting print data generation unit generates horizontal typesetting print data that is accurately recognized by the horizontal typesetting editor according to the vertical typesetting related correspondence table and predetermined combination rules, thereby converting from vertical typesetting to horizontal typesetting. To complete.

As another example, in the above embodiment, the horizontal typesetting editor uses a rich text box control (RTEditor), and the control used by the vertical typesetting editor is WebView. However, regarding the conversion between editors using other controls, the print data processing apparatus of this embodiment can also convert the tags used by the two types of controls, thereby realizing the data conversion.

As another example, in the above embodiment, the communication network may be Bluetooth® or a USB data connection.

As another example, in the above embodiment, before the user inputs the print content, the first typesetting editor displays the typesetting direction selection screen of FIG. 6 by the input display unit and allows the user to select one typesetting direction. Then, the print content input / edit screen shown in FIG. 7 is displayed to allow the user to input the print content and edit the format. However, in the print data processing apparatus provided by the present invention, when the user starts editing, the print content input / edit screen of FIG. 7 can be directly displayed, and at this time, the user can use the default typesetting direction (for example, horizontal typesetting direction). ) To enter the print content and edit the format. When the user needs to convert the typesetting direction in the editing process, the conversion of the typesetting direction can be selected by the typesetting direction selection area 142a on the print content input editing screen, and the conversion process is the same as that described in the embodiment. Therefore, detailed description thereof will be omitted here.
