Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Object of the Invention (Field of Industrial Application) This invention relates to a typesetting system used for typesetting newspapers and the like.

(Prior Art) In conventional typesetting systems, the system is configured based on the idea that the arrangement of typewritten materials such as articles and the arrangement of rules are performed separately.

For example, as shown in FIG.
06°107, 108, first arrange the typeface 102, then arrange the rule 106, and then arrange the typeface 103, the rule 107, the typeface 104, the rule 108, the typeface 105, They had to be placed sequentially and individually.

For this reason, vfry! Even when a rule is always placed between two types of materials, as in the classified advertisement section of No. 1, separate placement operations are required for each type of material. Moreover, when arranging rules, it is necessary to input the position and type (bar, mesh, etc.) of the rule each time.

Therefore, there is a problem that the number of placement operations is increased, which is not only complicated but also time-consuming. Furthermore, since the complicated input operations continue, there is a problem that it is easy to forget the operation of arranging the rules, or to make input errors such as the positions and types of the rules.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) As described above, according to the conventional typesetting system, the layout of the typewritten material and the rules is performed independently, which increases the number of layout operations. In addition to the time-consuming problem, there is also the problem that it is easy to forget to place a rule or input the position or type of a rule incorrectly. The present invention was made to solve the problems of such conventional typesetting systems, and its purpose is to provide easy and quick operation and automatic An object of the present invention is to provide a typesetting system that can perform typesetting efficiently.

[Structure of the Invention] (Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention provides a display means for displaying a typesetting, designation information for specifying a typeface, arrangement information of a plurality of typefaces, ruled type information, and an input means capable of inputting an automatic arrangement command for a plurality of typesetting materials and rules, and a line generation means for generating predetermined line data based on type information provided by the input means.
When the automatic arrangement command is input, the frame information of the corresponding forme is obtained based on the specified information, and the arrangement of multiple forme and the rules is performed based on this frame information, arrangement information, and rule type information. A typesetting system is provided, comprising a typesetting data creating means for creating typesetting data indicating the typesetting data, and a display data transmitting means for obtaining display data based on the typesetting data created by the typesetting data generating means and transmitting it to the display means. It is composed of

(Operation) In the above typesetting system, when an automatic arrangement command is given,
This is because the frame information of the typeface to be placed is obtained, rules are placed between multiple compositions according to the frame of the frame information, and typesetting data is created in which the typeface and the rules can be arranged alternately. be.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram of an embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, 1 indicates a CRT terminal device.

This CRT terminal device 1 includes a CR7 display section 11 that displays images, and a CRT input section (for example, a keyboard input device, etc.) 12 into which data, commands, etc. can be input. 2
indicates a printing device. This printing device 2 is used to print out the results of the typesetting process. 3 indicates a typesetting processor, which is constituted by a minicomputer, a microcomputer, or the like. This typesetting processor 3 is
Processing is performed according to data and commands input from the CRT input section 12, and necessary display data is displayed on the CR7 display section 11.
At the same time, the printing data resulting from the formatting processing is sent to the printing device @2 for printing.

Although the typesetting processor 3 is composed of a computer as described above, it is shown separately in functional blocks here. Further, the flow shown by a broken line in the typesetting processor 3 is data, and the flow shown by a solid line is a control signal.

Inside the typesetting processor 3, a command VI reading section 31 is provided. The command decoding section 31 receives data and commands input from the CRT input section 12, decodes them, and stores the decoding result data in the decoding result data storage section 32. Further, when the command decoding section 31 detects an automatic arrangement command from the input data and command, it starts up the rule generation processing section 33 and the typesetting processing section 34 . In addition, in this example,
Examples of data and commands input from the CRT input unit 12 include designation information for specifying a forme, layout information for the W number of forme, line type information, and automatic arrangement instructions for multiple forme and rules. There is. When activated, the rule generation processing unit 33 retrieves the type information of the rule from the decoding result data storage unit 32, generates corresponding rule data, and stores it in the rule data storage unit 3.
5 and the operation ends. When activated, the formatting processing section 34 retrieves designation information and arrangement information for designating a formatted material from the decoding result data storage section 32, and extracts the formatted material data (this data is First, the composition is inputted from the CRT input section 12 and stored together with its identification information in the board composition storage section 39. The ruled data is extracted, and forme data that allows these to be arranged based on the arrangement information is created, and this is stored in the forme data storage section 36. Specifically, frame information is created based on the typeface data. That is, in the case of formatted materials 102 to 105 as shown in FIG. 3, information consisting of the vertical and horizontal lengths of a rectangle is obtained as frame information. The arrangement information is information on where each typeface is to be placed (in Figure 3, in which position and which typeface is to be placed in a horizontal line), so based on this, the ruled data is Considering the width, decide the position and length (not as shown in Figure 3, but if the boundary of the typeface is not straight, bend it so that it corresponds), and transfer the determined data to the typeface data. At the same time, it is stored in the formatting data storage section 36. Therefore, the formatting data stored in the formatting data storage section 36 does not include the ruled data itself, but only data such as its length and position. Further, the formatting processing unit 34 activates the screen display unit 37 and gives a display command.

Upon receiving the display command, the activated screen display processing section 37 reads out the ruled data from the ruled data storage section 35, and
Formatting data is read out from the formatting data storage section 36, and based on this data, image pattern data as shown in FIG. 3 is created and further sent to the CRT display section 11 as a video signal.

Note that a print command is input as a command from the CRT input section 12, and at this time, the formatting processing section 34 receives the command from the command decoding section 31 and starts the output processing section 38. The activated output processing section 38 outputs the ruled data storage section 35.
At the same time as reading the ruled data from the formatting data storage section 36
The typesetting data is read out from there, and based on these, image pattern data as shown in FIG. 3 is created and sent to the printing device 2 in synchronization with the printing timing.

In the above typesetting system, the CRT display section 11
and the printing device 2 constitute a display means 40, the screen display processing section 37 and the output processing section 38 constitute a display data sending means 50 for sending out display data, and the CRT input section 12 constitutes an input means 60. , the typesetting processing section 34 is a typesetting data creation means 70, and the line generation processing section 33 is a line generation means 80.

In the typesetting system configured in this way, typesetting materials 102 to 10 as shown in the figure are placed within the frame 101 shown in FIG.
5 are arranged as shown in the figure, and the rules 106 to 108 are arranged between them, the operation of the system will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3.

First, the operator determines the type of forme to be placed in the frame 101, its arrangement, and the type of ruled line to be inserted between the forme and the type of the forme to be placed in the frame 102 to 1.
Specification information specifying 05, multiple types 102 to 105
The data and commands for automatic arrangement of multiple typesetting materials and rules, along with the layout information (in which order and in which order they should be arranged horizontally in a horizontal line) and the type of rule (rules with a black frame), are transferred to the CRT of the CRT terminal device 1. It is input from the input unit 12 (FIG. 2, 201).This data and command are decoded by the command decoding unit 31 (202).

The command decoding unit 31 stores each of the above-mentioned information as decoding result data in the decoding result data storage unit 32 (203), and also recognizes that it is necessary to detect an automatic placement command and generate ruled data (204). ), the rule generation processing unit 33 and the typesetting processing unit 34 are started (205 and 208).

As a result, the rule generation processing unit 33 generates the rule data.
06), this ruled data is stored in the ruled data storage section 35 (207). Further, based on the information in the decoding result data storage section 32, the typesetting processing section 34 reads the data of the typesetting material from the composition storage section 39, reads the ruled data from the ruled data storage section 35, and frames the data as described above. In 101, typeface 102, ruled line 106, typeface 103, ruled line 107, typeface 1
04. Create formatting data so that the ruled line 108 and the formatted material 105 are arranged as shown in the figure (209), and store the created formatting data in the formatting data storage unit 36 (21).
0). Furthermore, the formatting processing section 34 activates the screen display processing section 37 and gives a display command (211>The activated screen display processing section 37 reads the ruled data from the ruled data storage section 35 and reads it from the typesetting data storage section 36. The formatting data is read, a video signal is created based on the data, and the video signal is sent to the CRT display unit 11 (212).

As a result, the result of the formatting process is displayed on the CRT screen 11A (FIG. 3) of the CRT display section 11 as shown in the same figure.

On the other hand, when printing out, the operator
A print command is input from the RT input unit 12. Then, as described above, the output processing unit 38 is activated (2
13.214). The activated output processing unit 38 reads out the ruled data from the ruled data storage unit 35 and also reads out the typesetting data from the typesetting data storage unit 36 to generate image pattern data as shown in FIG. It is sent in accordance with the printing timing of @2. As a result, the printing device 2 prints out the results of the formatting process (215).

In the present embodiment, the line data itself is not included as the formatting data, but the line data may also be included as the formatting data and stored in the formatting data storage section 36. In this way, there is no need to read out the ruled data from the ruled data storage section 35 during display output. In addition, there are various arrangements of the typesetting material, such as a single horizontal row, a vertical row, and a base shape, and various types of rules can be set as necessary.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, when it is desired to appropriately arrange a typeface and ruled lines, if the necessary inputs are made all at once, the typesetting process is automatically performed, making the operation easier. Easy and quick,
Typesetting can be performed automatically and efficiently.
