Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve an efficiency of a design editing operation by displaying the logogram information read by an image reading means on a desired position laid out on a display means and displaying a color band in a desired position laid out on the display means corresponding to the color band information inputted from an input means. CONSTITUTION:The command for displaying the logogram information (stored in a work memory of a system controller 6) read by an image reading means 1 is inputted from an input means 3, and then a logogram information display control means 6a displays logograms 13-15 at desired positions of a square plate. Then, when a command for forming and displaying a color band is inputted from the input means 3, a color band information display control means 6b interprets the input data and forms and displays a color band 16 on a desired position of the square plate 11c. Herein, when the input means 3 performs a command for image outputting an edited picture the system controller 6 converts the edited picture into the raster data and can output a rough sheet including the logogram information and the color information by an image output means 7.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to catalog design in which a catalog design system can be freely edited.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, this type of system was proposed in Japanese Patent Application No. 53-270.
No. 283 etc. have been proposed.

First, a conventional design process will be explained with reference to FIG.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the mini-rough and rough creation procedures in the conventional design process.

Note that (1) to (11) indicate each step.

First, create a mini-rough, that is, a square plate and character type, on a display means, such as a display.1) Enter the product number of the product to be posted, and output the mini-rough from, for example, an image output device to make a hard copy. Obtain (2) 0 Next, based on the outputted mini-rough, the previously published image information, 1 character information, 1 drawing information, etc. (registered in advance) are read out from a storage means (not shown) 3), the new product. Display images blank 4), and also change the magnification of registered product images according to the camera's disassembly magnification, etc.
It moves and performs positioning (5), and outputs the rough data from the output device (6). Next, a layout designation sheet (manuscript input sheet) with increased dimensional accuracy of ruled line information, for example, hit lines and living rules is created (7), and a block mount is created (8). Here, the corner plate area surrounded by the ruled line information is extracted, mask data is created, and the mask material is cut (9).The layout created in step (7) is printed based on the specified paper. Create (10), then take a convex shot of the block and combine it with the mask created in step (9) to create a printing plate (
11) If the original to be printed is in color, the printing plate is created according to the number of inks used.

Next, the rough sheet will be explained with reference to FIG.

FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram illustrating a rough sheet.

In this figure, 31 is a rough sheet, and square plates 32 are formed into, for example, four square plates.

Reference numerals 33a and 33b indicate color bands, which are printed in different colors at the printing stage, using the overlap 33c as a guide (guide, line). 34 is the logo (characters in a specific font such as product name, company name, etc.)
It has the function of making it easy to understand the image and quality of the product. 35 is a diagram of a new product, which shows an outline of the product to be published. Reference numeral 36 indicates a text information area, for example, an area where phototypesetting of the amount of money, product number, etc. is pasted. 37 is a drawing information area, which is an area where the standard diagram of the diagram 35 is shown.

As can be seen from this figure, the rough sheet includes image information (not shown) of the conventional product, and diagram 3 of the new product with a 32° square plate.
Fifty-nine color bands 33a, 33b, a logo 34, etc. are drawn.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

In conventional rough creation, if the conventional product image data registered in advance is displayed on a display in the area of the corner plate 32, it is not possible to create a precise rough sheet, and in the end, Color band 33a is formed manually.

33b, the position of the logo 34, etc., the editing of the rough sheet was delayed considerably, and there was a problem in that it was not possible to move to the draft creation stage efficiently. In addition, in conventional rough sheets, product image data for new products is handled diagrammatically, resulting in poor balance with other product image data, and from this point of view, there is a strong desire for improvement.

This invention was made to solve the above problem, and while looking at the rough creation screen displayed on the display, the product image data of the new product is selected from among the conventional product images.
In addition to pseudo-appropriating similar product image data,
The purpose is to obtain a catalog design system capable of editing not only trademark product image data but also information such as color bands and logos.

[Means for solving problems]

The catalog design system according to the present invention includes an image reading means for binarizing and reading logo information, an input means for inputting color band information, and a desired display device according to the color band information inputted from the input means. The present invention is provided with a color band information display control means for displaying a color band at a position, and a logo information display control means for displaying logo information read by the image reading means at a desired position on the display means.

[Effect]

In this invention, the logo information display control means displays the logo information read by the image reading means at a desired position laid out on the display means. The color band information display control means causes the color band to be displayed at a desired position laid out on the display means according to the color band information inputted from the input means.
