The present invention relates to a method for automatically accepting printed matters on-line ordering system, and more specifically, to a state in which a typesetting operation for automatically checking whether there is an abnormality in printed matter information ordered through the internet network and arranging it on a signboard can be performed. An object of the present invention is to provide a method for automatically accepting a print order system, which allows the process of converting and storing the data to be automatically performed.

The printed matter ordering system proposed by Korean Patent Application No. 607845, previously filed by the applicant of the present application, comprises: a web server connected to an orderer computer and an internet network to receive order information; A receiving computer which receives the order information from the web server and checks whether there is an error by opening an image file included in the order information and corrects the error; An item-specific server that inspects the modified image file in the receiving computer and if there is no abnormality, converts a plurality of image objects included in the image file into a typesetting file and stores them; Provides order information of the web server to the receiving computer, and performs a typesetting operation for placing the typesetting files stored in the server for each item on the tablet board, and if there is typesetting completion information, the tablet board name is completed to complete the tablet board At the same time, the application server for providing work instruction information to the computer for each work part.

In this type of print ordering system, the image file according to the type of print is stored for each item, and the object included in the image file is converted into a typesetting file. Therefore, the orderer converts various types of print objects into one image file. When ordering by filling in, it is classified as abnormal order information.

In this case, the operator of the reception computer had to select an abnormal order information, open an image file, check the size of the object, and create a new image file for each type of print. Has been a factor in reducing the efficiency of the print ordering system.

In order to solve this problem, if an orderer provides various types of print objects in one image file and treats them as an invalid order, the orderer accepts the inconvenience and corrects the image file so that only the same print type is included as an object. You may order again through an ordering system or find another printer.

The technical problem to be achieved by the present invention is to determine that there is no problem even if one image file includes a print object of several items, and to create a typesetting file for each item object efficiency and orderer of the print ordering system The purpose of this paper is to provide an automatic filing method in the online ordering system for printed materials, which can increase the usability.

Technical problem of the present invention is a preliminary reception step of storing the new order information if there is a web server; If the image file included in the order information stored in the preliminary acceptance step has an extension registered in the web server, and the post-processing item is not included in the order information, and the text editing font of the image file is curved, automatic reception is possible. A first step of determining as order information; A second step of determining, based on the order information, whether a print object to be received among the print objects of the image file is a double-sided print; The web server runs a program corresponding to the extension of the image file, opens the image file, releases the grouping of all the print objects, and designates all the print objects on page 1 as the first document as a first group. A third step of aligning the first document size to the center of the second document, wherein the second document is changed to the designated first group size; A fourth step of releasing the first group and grouping the print objects on the upper left of the second document to determine whether they match the print size included in the order information; If it is determined in the second step that the printout is not a double-sided print, and the size of the print object grouped in the fourth step matches the print size included in the order information, the print object grouped in the fourth step is newly created. A fifth step of centering the three documents as two pages, storing the centered printed object as a typesetting file, and deleting the two pages; If it is determined in the second step as a double-sided print and the printed object included in the order information matches the designated print object, the printed object specified in the fourth step is aligned with the upper left corner of the second document, and the printed object on the upper right of the second document. Select to align to the top right corner of the second document, and then assign the second group of two-sided print objects aligned to the top of the second document as one group to the center of page 2, the newly created workspace, the third document. After aligning and releasing the second group, grouping the left substrate objects as a front typesetting file and grouping the right substrate objects as a back typesetting file, step 5-2 deletes two pages at the same time. ; After the steps 5-1 and 5-2 are completed, if the unprocessed print object remains in the second document of the third step, the process from the second step is repeated and all the print objects of one page are used for typesetting. When the file is stored as a file, a sixth step of providing receipt completion information to the orderer's computer through the Internet network.

Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is an exemplary view showing a printed matter online ordering system of the present invention, which includes an orderer computer 10 for creating order information including an image file as shown; A web server 20 connected to the orderer computer 10 via the Internet network to store order information and generate a typesetting file through an automatic reception step, and at the same time provide the reception status to the orderer computer 10 via the Internet; ; If there is order information received from the web server 20, the application server 30 for placing the typesetting file generated through the automatic reception step in the web server 20 on the tablet board; includes.

The order information is printed on the image file of the printed matter and the type of printed object (card, leaflet, etc.) put in the image file through the reception screen (see FIG. 2) provided from the web server 20 to the orderer computer 10. ), Information indicating the material of the paper to be printed, information indicating whether or not to finish after printing such as cutting into a special shape, and information indicating whether only one side or both sides are printed. have.

3 to 5 are diagrams for explaining step-by-step the reception method made in the web server 20, which is a preliminary reception step of storing new order information as shown in the web server 20; If the image file included in the order information stored in the preliminary acceptance step has an extension registered in the web server 20, the post-processing item is not included in the order information, and the text editing font of the image file is curved, A first step of judging that order information is acceptable; A second step of determining, based on the order information, whether a print object to be received among the print objects of the image file is a double-sided print; The web server 20 runs a program corresponding to the extension of the image file, opens the image file, releases grouping of all the print objects, and then unifies all the print objects on the first document 200 page 1 as a work area. A third step of designating the first group 110 to align the center of the second document 210 in which the size of the first document 200 is changed to the size of the designated first group 110; A fourth step of releasing the first group (110) and grouping the printed object (100) on the upper left of the second document (210) to determine whether it matches the size of the printed material included in the order information; If it is determined that the printout is not a double-sided print in the second step and the size of the printout object 100 grouped in the fourth step matches the printout size included in the order information, the printout object 100 grouped in the fourth step is newly renewed. A fifth step of centering the second document 211, which is the created work area, and storing the centered printed object 100 as a typesetting file and deleting two pages; If it is determined in the second step that the two-sided printout and the printout object 100 specified in the order information is identical to the printout object 100 included in the order information, the printout object 100 designated in the fourth step is aligned with the upper left corner of the second document 210. , Two-sided print object 100 (selected on the upper right corner of the second document 210 by selecting the print object 101 on the upper right side of the second document 210 and aligned on the upper side of the second document 210) The second group 111, which designates 101) as a group, After aligning to the center of two sides of the third document 211 and releasing the second group 111, group the printed object 100 on the left side and group it and save it as a file for front typesetting and store the printed object 101 on the right side. Step 5-2 of designating a group and storing two pages at the same time as deleting the file for backside typesetting; After the steps 5-1 and 5-2 are completed, if the unprocessed print objects 102-105 remain in the second document 210 of the third step, the process from the second step is repeated. And a sixth step of storing all the printed objects 100-105 on one page as a typesetting file and providing the reception completion information to the orderer computer through the Internet.

The preliminary reception step stores the order information provided from the orderer computer 10 through the Internet network without determining whether the order is a normal order.

The image file is created on the orderer computer 10 and includes a plurality of print objects 100. The print object 100 refers to one unit print. The web server 20 searches the extension of the image file to determine whether it is created by a registered program which can be driven by the web server 20. If it is determined that the extension of the image file is created by a program that is not registered, the image file is processed as an order that cannot be processed by the online ordering system.

If the extension of the image file is registered, it is determined whether the order requires post-processing, and if the order requires post-processing, the order information is provided to the acceptor computer 40 to be accepted by hand.

In the case of printed orders without post-processing, it is determined whether the text editing font is curved, and if it is not curved, the receiving computer 40 performs a curved operation using the corresponding program and then sends the new order information to the web server 20. to provide. Curved work refers to specifying font values to prevent text corruption when editing text in an image file.

If the extension of the image file is not registered and post-processing is required and the image file is not curved, the web server 20 informs the acceptor computer 40 and the orderer computer 10 of the unreceived status. Provide information.

In the second step, the double-sided printed material means printed matter printed on the front and back sides, and in the case of non-double-sided printed matter, it means a single-sided print which prints only the front side. The print object 100 is arranged within a predetermined range from the left side. In the case of a double-sided print, the orderer arranges the front printing object 100 within a predetermined range from the left end of the first document 200, which is a work area, when the image file is created, and the right side of the first document 200 is fixed from the right end of the first document 200. The back printing object 101 should be arranged within the range.

The web server 20 is provided with a tool for generating and storing a typesetting file by driving an image file creation program (CorelDraw, Quak, AI, JPG, etc.) corresponding to the registered extension. In the case of the order information is a conceptual diagram showing the fourth step and the 5-1 step automatically received, Figure 7 is a conceptual diagram showing the fourth step and the 5-1 step in the case of double-sided printed order information.

The second document 210 modified in the fourth step has a minimum size that all the selected print objects can enter and is the same size as the first group 110.

In the case of single-sided prints, if the size of the grouped printed object 100 and the size of the printed items provided in the order information do not match, the orderer computer 10 is notified through the internet network and the reason is provided as detailed information. This is because if the size of the printed object 100 does not match the size of the printed item (for example, the size of a business card size ordered), it is an abnormal order that causes a problem such as a margin or overlaps with another printed material. .

If the size information matches, the designated printed object 100 is aligned with the center of one side of the second document 210, and then moved to the upper left corner of the second document 210 to be aligned, and then the outside of the second document 210 is aligned. Move to. Create two pages of a third document 211, which is a new working area, after one page of the second document 210, which is a work area, and align the printed object 100 with the center of two pages. Save and delete page 2.

The reason for aligning the print object 100 in the center is to accurately align the print object 100 to the upper left corner of the second document 210 so that an error does not occur in the size of the output print.

FIG. 7 illustrates a process (steps 4 and 5-2) in which printed objects are stored as a typesetting file in the case of a double-sided print. If the size information matches, the front surface of the upper left side in the selected second document 210 is shown. Select the substrate object 100, align this substrate object 100 to the center of one side of the second document 210 and align it to the upper left corner of the second document 210, and then Select the object 101 and align this printed object 101 to the center of one side of the second document 210 and then to the upper right corner of the second document 210.

The reason for aligning the front printed matter object 100 and the back printed matter object 101 on the top of the second document 210 is to process the front and back typesetting files for the same printed matter.

After aligning the second group 111 that designates two substrate objects 100 and 101 as one to two sides of the newly inserted working area, the third document 211, the substrate object 100 on the left side is used for front typesetting. As a file, the print object 101 on the right side is stored as a file for backside typesetting, respectively, and two pages are deleted.

8A and 9A show the print objects remaining in the first document 200 on one page after one print order has been processed as a typesetting file through the same steps as in FIGS. 6 and 7. The print object is repeatedly stored in a typesetting file until there is no print object to be processed on one page through the steps described above from the third step. 8B and 9B are diagrams visually showing print objects remaining in the first document 200 for better understanding.

FIG. 10 and FIG. 11 are views for explaining a processing process that may be added for more effective typesetting work when the printed object arranged in the image file is the same printed item as another embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIGS. 12 and 13, the print object 100, 101 aligned at the center of two pages in steps 5-1 and 5-2 remains in the second document 210. If it is a substrate of the same item as the substrate objects 102 and 103, select page 1 to designate all remaining substrate objects 102 to 105 as one third group 112 to resize the second document 210. A third step of aligning the third group 112 at the center of the third first document 220 after changing to a third one document 220 having a size of three groups 112; A step 4-1 of releasing the third group 112 and grouping the print object 102 on the upper left of the 3-1 document 220 to determine whether it matches the order print size; If it is single-sided and the size of the designated substrate object 102 and the order substrate size match, the substrate object 102 specified in the above step 4-1 is aligned to the center of the fourth document 212 of page 3 of the work area. Select the print object 100 of the third document 211 and align the print object 102 of the fourth document 212 directly below the print object 100 of the third document 211. Steps 5-3 (see Fig. 12) for deleting three pages which are the fourth document 212 while moving and aligning; If the double-sided prints remaining in the second document 210 and the size of the designated print object 102 and the order print size match, the print object 102 designated in step 4-1 may be moved to the 3-1 document 220. Aligned to the upper left corner, designated as the print object 103 at the upper right of the 3-1 document 220, aligned to the upper right corner, and then aligned to the top of the 3-1 document 220 By arranging the 2-1 group 114 which designates the double-sided print object 102 and 103 as one in the center of 3 sides which are the newly inserted 4th document 212, and selecting the 2nd group 111 on 2 sides, In the state aligned with the upper part of the 3-1 document 220, the 2-1 group 114 on the 3rd side is moved under the 2nd group 111 on the 2nd side, and the 4th document 212 is aligned. Step 5-4 of deleting page 3 (see FIG. 13); After deleting three pages in steps 5-3 and 5-4, the remaining print object on page 1, which is the second document 210, is replaced with the print object processed in steps 5-3 and 5-4. In the case of the same item of printed matter, from step 3-1, the processes of steps 5-3 and 5-4 are repeated until there are no print objects left on one side, and the two printed objects of four pages are processed. ) And save as a typesetting file, and if the remaining print object on page 1 is a print object of a different item from the print object processed in steps 5-3 and 5-4, repeat the process from step 2 to page 2 Automatically accepts prints from the online ordering system consisting of steps 6-1, which stores all printed objects in the file as a typesetting file, and if there are no remaining print objects on page 1, deletes page 2 and provides the completion information through the internet. It is about a method.

The printed matter of the same item means a printed material which can be typesetting on the same plate by matching the conditions such as the size, the material of the paper, and whether it is double-sided printing.

Steps 3-1 and 4-1 are substantially the same as steps 3 and 4 except that the two print objects 100 and 101 are stored before being stored as a typesetting file.

Step 5-3 (refer to FIG. 12) selects the upper left one of the remaining print objects 102 on page 1 without storing the print object 100 as a typesetting file on page 2 in steps 5-1. The print object 100 on page 2 and the print object object 102 on page 3 so that the print object object 102 is arranged continuously under the print object 100 on page 2. By storing the 102 as a typesetting file, if there are prints of the same item in the same ordering information, the printing is performed on the same counterplate so that all subsequent printing processes are processed together. The fact that all the printing process is processed together means that the logistics process can be saved by batching the process of printing and delivering to the orderer.

In step 5-4 (see FIG. 13), the second group 111 remaining on one side of the second group 111 of step 5-2 is not stored as a typesetting file. Substantially the same as step 5-2 except that it is continuously arranged at the bottom of 111 and selected as the 2-2 group 115 and the 2-3 group 116 and stored as a file for front and back typesetting respectively. If there is a print of the same item in the same order information, the process for engraving on the same slab is the same as step 5-3.
FIG. 14 is a view showing a planer file on which a typesetting file is arranged, and FIG. 15 is a view showing a planar board on which a typesetting file is disposed, and all automatic acceptance processes of the present invention are shown in FIG. 15. In order to produce a printed matter (for example, a business card) by accurately placing a plurality of printed matters (print object) in the desired state and cutting them, the web server 20 runs a print object creation program based on the order information. Is done.

After all the print objects in the image file are stored as a typesetting file through the above-described steps, when a deposit is confirmed, a typesetting operation is performed to arrange the typesetting file on a sheet.

The present invention as described above can determine that there is no problem even if one image file included in the order information in the online print ordering system includes various types of print objects, thereby allowing a typesetting file to be generated for each print object. The invention is effective to increase the efficiency of the print ordering system and the user's ease of use.

The present invention has been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings, but is not limited thereto, and various modifications may be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
