1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a printing automation management system according to the present invention.

As shown in this, the printing automation management system according to the present invention comprises a user terminal, a print management server and a producer terminal.

The user terminal is a server of an orderer who orders printed matters, and may be a terminal of a general consumer or a terminal of a planning company as described above.

The print management server receives the order history from the user terminal, calculates a quotation, calculates a work process for producing printed materials according to the order details, and accordingly calculates and transmits a work instruction to the producer terminal. As shown in FIG. 1, the apparatus includes an input / output unit, a calculation unit, and a database.

In this case, the calculation unit is a job history calculation unit for calculating the specific details of the print job, such as the paper used, the printing method and the folding method according to the print conditions input from the user terminal, and the cost according to the job history calculated from the job history calculation unit It is configured to include a quote calculation unit for calculating and calculating the estimate of the consumer and a job instruction generation unit for generating a print job instruction based on the job history.

On the other hand, the database is configured to include a unit price DB that stores a variety of unit cost details such as the unit price of the raw material, the unit price of the work process required to calculate the estimate.

The producer terminal may be a server of a producer performing a printing process according to a work instruction generated from the print management server. For example, the producer terminal may be a server such as a print shop or a print shop. If included in the print management server may be configured.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings, the automated printing management method according to the present invention will be described in detail.

FIG. 5 is an exemplary view showing a cost calculation result in the printing automation management system according to the present invention, and FIG. 6 is an automated printing management according to the present invention. FIG. 7 is an exemplary diagram showing an example of the calculated contents calculated in the system, and FIG. 7 is an exemplary diagram showing an example of the work instruction calculated in the printing automation management system according to the present invention.

First, as shown in Figure 2, the print automation management method according to the present invention starts from the user terminal connected to the print management server to request an estimate calculation by inputting an order option (S100).

At this time, the order option details input from the user terminal, as shown in Figure 3, the information such as the print size, the type of paper, the number of pages of the print, the number of copies, the binding method, the paper coating method, the color options of the paper, etc. It is configured to include.

In this case, in the case of a printed book, the actual order details are respectively inputted into a cover part and a to part, but hereinafter, for convenience of description, the description will be given as an example.

Here, the printed matter size refers to the size of the printed matter, and is represented by the horizontal and vertical lengths of the completed printed matter.

In addition, the number of pages of printed matter means the number of pages necessary for forming one copy. The bookbinding method means a kind of bookbinding, for example, a bookbinding method such as wireless binding (general rice cake binding), duplex binding, saddle binding (spring binding, etc.).

On the other hand, the color option of the paper relates to the color content of the printed content, generally divided into 1 degree (1 color) to 4 degrees (4 colors).

When the order option as described above is input, the print management server that receives the order option calculates a usage paper (S200, S300).

The paper usage calculation method calculates an extra size as shown in FIG. 4 (S310).

The extra size refers to a cutting length required when the machine grips or cuts paper in a process to be described later, and is determined by the thickness of the paper, the binding method, and the number of pages. The extra spare size may be calculated or may be entered when the user enters the order option.

In FIG. 3, the portion marked 'datch' on the input screen means an extra size.

After the excess size is determined, the work size of the printed matter is calculated (S320).

The work size is a value obtained by adding the extra size to the print size input from the user terminal and calculating the work size by adding the extra size to the width and length of the print size input from the user.

For convenience of explanation, the work size is represented by x × y, where x represents a long side length among the work sizes, y represents a short side length, and x and y may be equal to each other.

After the job size is calculated, a loss amount of the job size printed material for the basic printing papers is respectively calculated (S330).

The basic printing paper refers to a printing basic paper produced and sold by a papermaking company. Currently, four sizes of basic printing paper are generally produced and distributed in Korea.

For example, the four types of basic printing papers include a small sized battery having a size of 880 mm × 625 mm, a large power battery having a size of 939 mm × 636 mm, a 46 two edge 1 with a size of 788 mm × 545 mm, and a 46 two edge 2 with a size of 760 mm × 545 mm. Are distinguished.

Meanwhile, the above-described basic printing paper has been described as an example, and basic printing paper of various sizes may be applied according to various demands of the printing market.

In addition, the calculation of the loss amount means a ratio with respect to the remaining part when the printed matter of the work size is virtually arranged in the transverse direction or the longitudinal direction on the basic printing paper.

If this is expressed as an expression, the loss ratio may be expressed as in Equations 1 and 2 below.

[Equation 1]

Loss _Factor ( _Horizontal Array) (%) = {(100) / (X1 * Y1)} * {(X1 * Y1)-(x * y) * (α _X1x * α _Y1y )}

&Quot; (2) "

Loss _factor ( _vertical ) (%) = {(100) / (X1 * Y1)} * {(X1 * Y1)-(x * y) * (α _X1y * α _Y1x )}

In Equations 1 and 2, X1 and Y1 are values representing the length and width of the basic printing paper, respectively, x and y are length and width of the work size, respectively, and α _X1x is the length of X1 divided by x. means the quotient value of the integer, and α _Y1y when the mean the integer quotient value when divided the Y1 length as y, and, α _X1y is when divided the X1 length in y means the integer quotient value, α _Y1x is Y1 Integer quotient when length divided by x.

That is, Equation 1 indicates that the loss ratio of the basic printing paper is calculated as a percentage when the working size printed matter is arranged laterally on the basic printing paper, and the equation (2) is the basic value when the working size printed matter is arranged vertically on the basic printing paper. It means that the loss ratio of printing paper is calculated as a percentage.

In this way, the loss ratio for the transverse / longitudinal arrangement is calculated for the basic printing papers available.

 For example, when there are four types of basic printing papers, the loss ratios of eight cases in the horizontal and vertical directions are calculated by setting the sizes of each basic printing paper as X1, Y1 to X4 and Y4, respectively.

Thereafter, the basic printing paper having the smallest loss rate calculated is selected as used paper, and the arrangement direction is set as the arrangement direction during the printing operation (S340).

After the printing paper and the arrangement form are set, the print management server calculates a printing method (S400).

The printing method is to set how to print the basic printing paper surface, thereby determining the production form of the printing plate shape.

In this case, the printing plate type refers to a printing plate formed by engraving printing contents on a metal plate such as aluminum or copper plate.

The printing method will be described in detail, and the printing method may be classified into a large collection method (industrial term: mixed system) and a split method (industrial term: piglet). In addition, the dividing method is divided into left and right dividing method (industrial term: Haridon Dang) and upper and lower one-sitting method (industrial term: Guhai Don Ding).

Specifically, in the case of collecting method, as shown in FIG. 5A, in printing on both sides, one sheet of printing paper is produced by arranging the printing plate shape on the odd side and the printing plate shape on the even side respectively. The printing plate shape of the odd side of a plurality of sections is printed, and a printing plate shape of the even side is printed by turning the said printing paper.

In FIG. 5A, reference numerals A to D denote identification marks at the corners of the paper to indicate the direction of rotation of the printing paper, and squares inside the printing paper represent the respective sections, and numbers inside the pages exemplarily showing the pages. will be.

On the other hand, Figure 5b shows an example of the left and right split method. As shown in Figure 5b, the left and right dividing method is produced by dividing the printing plate shape into the front side of the odd side and the even side in a symmetrical direction, and prints the front side of the printing paper in one printing plate form, The printing paper is a method of printing the reverse side of the printing paper in the same printing plate shape.

In addition, an example of the top-and-bottom scheme is illustrated in FIG. 5C. As shown in Figure 5c, the top-and-bottom printing method is produced by dividing one printing plate type into the front side of the odd side and the even side in the direction of symmetry up and down, and prints the front side of the printing paper in one printing plate type, The printing paper is a method of printing the reverse side of the printing paper in the same printing plate shape. Therefore, as shown in Fig. 5C, the upper printing direction and the lower printing direction of the printing plate shape are produced in opposite directions to each other.

A method of determining the printing method will be described in detail. First, if the total number of pages is N and the number of pages (including the front and back sides) printed on one sheet of used paper set in step 200 is n, The printing method is set in a manner of collecting up to pages satisfying an≤N (a is a positive integer).

Then, the printing method is set by dividing the printing page from the subsequent printing page to the n / 2 printing page.

It also sets the printing method by dividing from the next print page to the next n / 4 print page.

Thereafter, the printing method is set by dividing n / b (b is an integer of 2 or more) printing pages by dividing the same way.

At this time, in the case where an integer quotient is not obtained by dividing n / b with respect to the print page after the print page in which the printing method is set by the collecting method, the print page is set to print in a separate printing method.

Alternatively, if the integer number is not divided by n / b for the print page after the print page in which the printing method is set in the collection method, the print pages may be selected in step 400 for the corresponding print pages. New settings are also possible.

Briefly summarizing the setting of the printing method, the printing method is set by collecting the printing pages within the total number of pages N up to an integer multiple of the number of pages n printed on one set of used paper.

The printing method is set in the dividing manner with respect to the print pages which can be set in the dividing manner with respect to the print pages after the print pages set by the collecting method.

Then, for the print pages for which the division method cannot be set, the printing method is set by the individual copying method or newly selected from the printing paper, and the printing method is set again.

Herein, the case where the setting of the dividing method is impossible means that: 1) the printed matter is arranged in an odd number in both the longitudinal direction and the transverse direction and cannot be divided into left and right or up and down directions and printed; This is a case where the integer quotient is not obtained by dividing the number of printed pages after the printed pages set by the collecting method by n / b.

As described above, when the printing method is calculated, the shape of the printing plate shape is also determined accordingly.

Thereafter, the print management server calculates the grounding method (S500).

In this case, the folding refers to cutting the edges in accordance with the binding form after folding the printed paper in a specific direction, and is arranged in page order after folding.

Therefore, the grounding method is a ground or rolled ground.

When the calculation of the grounding method is completed, the print management server calculates an estimate based on the order option input by the user terminal.

That is, the print management server calculates the cost from the unit price DB according to the amount of printing paper required, the number of plate types, and the number of printing equipment required according to the calculated used paper and printing method, and estimates the consumer according to the set profit rate. This is calculated (S600).

As shown in FIG. 6, which is an example of the cost calculated by the present invention, the cost according to the present invention includes the quantity and type of paper used, the printing method and the number of plate shapes, the bookbinding method, the paper coating method, and the color of the paper. The total cost is calculated according to the option.

In addition, an example of an estimate of the form provided to the user including profits based on such a cost is illustrated in FIG. 7.

Thereafter, the print management server transmits the calculated quotation to the user terminal, and the user terminal provides the calculated quotation to the user (S700).

The user inputs an order command to the print management server through the user terminal (S800).

When the order command is input from the user, the print management server generates a work order (S900).

In this case, as shown in FIG. 8, the work order includes each type of print page, the type of print paper to be used, print color option content, and printing method, including the type and quantity of all required print paper. .

The work order generated in this way is transmitted to the producer terminal, the producer performs a print job as the work order (S1000).

It is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiment, but is capable of many modifications and variations within the scope of the appended claims. It is self-evident.

The present invention relates to a printing automation management system and method for automatically performing and managing quotation calculation and work orders according to a user's requirements. According to the present invention, a printing estimate is calculated based on an operator's experience. It is possible to calculate the most economical print estimates in a short time by calculating the conventional print estimates, which are inaccurate and take a long time, through an automated system, so that both consumers and suppliers have the advantage of increased efficiency.
