 Disclosure of the invention

 Problems to be solved by the invention

[0004] In the conventional typesetting digitized data creation method, after the layout digitized data created by the designer is printed out, the designer or editor identifies himself / herself in multiple display areas in the printed out layout. Give a number. Based on these identification numbers, the writer or editor creates documents, illustrations, photos, etc. with the corresponding identification numbers (or if documents, illustrations, photos, etc. have been created) (Corresponding identification numbers are given to documents, illustrations, photographs, etc.). By collating these identification numbers, a plurality of contents digitized data obtained by digitizing a plurality of corresponding contents are combined with a plurality of display areas of the layout digitized data. However, in the conventional method, the operation of combining the corresponding content digitized data for a plurality of display areas in the digitized layout data is performed manually by the operator. For this reason, there is a problem that it takes a long time to create the formatted electronic data based on the electronic layout data. In addition, when the work of assigning identification numbers to a plurality of display areas is performed only by combining the corresponding contents with respect to the plurality of display areas, the typesetting work is further complicated. In particular, if there are many display areas in the layout digitized data in one typesetting work, or if there are a large number of printed pages, and the typesetting digitized data to be created is atypical data, these problems The point becomes even more prominent.

[0005] Further, in the conventional typesetting digitized data creation method, if the resolution of the typesetting digitized data image is not appropriate, the image may become rough or a striped pattern due to interference action may occur. For this reason, the resolution of the image of the digitized data must be set to an appropriate resolution. In addition, if the color mode and file format of the image of digitized data are not appropriate, a printing accident may occur. For this reason, the color mode and file format of the formatted electronic data must be set appropriately. Absent. However, the image of the digitized layout data with image data created by the designer does not necessarily have the proper resolution, color mode, and file format. Therefore, it is necessary to adjust the image resolution, color mode, and file format of the layout digitized data with image data to an appropriate one. However, the operation of finding out an improper image, taking out the typesetting data power, and adjusting the resolution etc. to the original position is performed manually by the operator. In many cases, the manual operation for re-arranging such an adjusted image is performed by the operator's eye amount. Therefore, when the adjusted image is rearranged on the digitized layout data with image data, the positional deviation is performed. A problem occurs. Moreover, even a skilled operator has a problem that it takes a long time to create digitized data based on the digitized layout data with image data.

 An object of the present invention is to provide a typesetting digitized data creation system that can easily create typesetting digitized data.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a typesetting digitized data creation method, a typesetting digitized data creation program, and a medium thereof that can easily create typesetting digitized data.

 Another object of the present invention is that no identification number is lost in the display area of layout digitized data! / デ ー タ Formatted digitized data creation method, formatted digitized data creation program, medium thereof, and formatted digitized data To provide a creation system.

 [0009] Yet another object of the present invention is that, when an image of digitized layout data with image data is adjusted, a positional deviation occurs when the adjusted image is rearranged on the digitized layout data with image data. It is an object of the present invention to provide a typesetting digitized data creation method, typesetting digitized data creation program and medium, and a typesetting digitized data creation system.

 [0010] An object of the present invention is to provide electronic composition that can easily rearrange the adjusted image on the layout digitized data with image data when the image of the digitized layout data with image data is adjusted. It is an object of the present invention to provide a data creation method, typesetting digitized data creation program and medium thereof, and a typesetting digitized data creation system.

Means for solving the problem In the typesetting digitized data creation system of the present invention, layout digitized data is created by digitizing a layout document having a plurality of display areas on which a plurality of contents such as image contents and character contents are displayed. The data representing the plurality of display areas of the layout digitized data is combined with a plurality of content digitized data obtained by digitizing a plurality of corresponding contents, and the formatted digitized data necessary for creating a format is obtained. create. Here, in a plurality of display areas of the layout electronic data, a plurality of contents such as image contents having image power and character contents having character power can be displayed as a plurality of contents. Note that image content and Z or character content may be displayed in advance on all or part of the display area before an identification number to be described later is assigned.

 The typesetting digitized data creation system of the present invention includes an identification number assigning unit, an information output unit, a content digitized data creating unit, and a combination unit. The identification number assigning means automatically assigns identification numbers to data indicating a plurality of display areas in the digitized layout data. The information output means outputs information about contents that can be displayed in the display area together with the identification number for each of the plurality of display areas. Then, the content digitized data creation means assigns the same identification number as the identification number assigned to the data indicating the corresponding display area to the plurality of content digitized data created based on the output information, and stores it in the storage means. Store. The combination means combines data indicating a plurality of display areas of the layout digitized data and a corresponding plurality of content digitized data stored in the storage means according to the identification number.

[0013] If the identification number is automatically given, the identification number is automatically given to the plurality of display areas in the digitized layout data, so the identification number for the plurality of display areas in the digitized layout data Can be applied in a short time. Further, it is possible to prevent the identification number from being lost on the display area in the electronic layout data. The identification number can be any number as long as it can identify each of the multiple display areas in the electronic layout data. However, considering that the identification number can be easily confirmed, it is preferable to use numbers, letters or symbols as the identification number. [0014] When a plurality of character display areas in which a plurality of character contents are displayed are included in the plurality of display areas, the information output means V, It is preferable to output all the information corresponding to the amount of character content that can be displayed in the character display area together with the identification number. If the content digitized data creation means digitizes a plurality of character contents based on the information output by the information output means to create a plurality of character content digitized data, the created plurality of character content digitized data An identification number corresponding to each is assigned. Further, in this case, the combination means combines a plurality of character content digitized data corresponding to a plurality of character display areas of the layout digitized data.

 [0015] Like the typesetting digitized data creation system of the present invention, an identification number is automatically assigned to a plurality of display areas in layout digitized data, and a plurality of layout digitized data are displayed according to the identification number. Combining multiple areas of digitized data with data indicating the area, the contents corresponding to multiple display areas in the digitized layout data that have been performed manually by the operator so far! The work of combining can be omitted. This makes it easy to create formatted digitized data based on the digitized layout data. In addition, since the identification number can be assigned to the data indicating the display area of the layout digitized data without omission, it is possible to prevent the identification number from being lost on the layout digitized data.

 In particular, since content electronic data is created based on information about content that can be displayed in the display area, content electronic data that can be securely stored in the display area can be obtained using this information. For example, the information output means can output information on the amount of character content that can be displayed in the character display area together with the identification number for each of the plurality of character display areas. In this case, based on the output information, a plurality of character content digitized data is created by digitizing a plurality of character contents. In this way, if character content digitized data is created based on information about the amount of character content that can be displayed in the character display area, the amount of character content may be insufficient or too large. Can be prevented.

[0017] The typesetting digitized data creation system of the present invention further includes a plurality of content digitized data. Data condition adjusting means for adjusting the data condition of the data to a predetermined data condition may be provided. If the data conditions of a plurality of content digitized data are adjusted to predetermined data conditions, the format of the content digitized data can be unified. In addition, when combining multiple content digitized data such as images and characters in multiple display areas of digitized layout data, tasks such as deleting line breaks in document content and adjusting the color mode of image content are automatically performed. Can be done.

 [0018] The invention of the typesetting digitized data creation system described above can also be specified as a typesetting digitized data creation program and a typesetting digitized data creation program for executing this. This formatted digitized data creation program is a computerized layout document having a plurality of display areas for displaying a plurality of contents such as image contents and character contents. The composition digitized data is created by combining a plurality of contents digitized data obtained by digitizing corresponding contents. Such a typesetting computerized data creation program is installed in a computer and executes the above method.

 [0019] It should be noted that the above-described typesetting digitized data creation program can also be provided as a recording medium on which this is recorded. By providing a recording medium in which such a typesetting digitized data creation program is recorded, the typesetting digitized data creation method of the present invention can have versatility.

[0020] When the present invention is specified as a typesetting computerized data creation method, it is as follows. First, in the method of the present invention, digitized layout data obtained by digitizing a layout document having a plurality of display areas including an image display area and a character display area for displaying a plurality of contents such as image contents and character contents is obtained. Created formatted digitized data necessary to create a typesetting by combining multiple content digitized data obtained by digitizing multiple corresponding contents with data indicating multiple display areas of the digitized layout data Targeted is a method for creating typesetting digitized data. An identification number is automatically assigned to data indicating a plurality of display areas in the digitized layout data (identification number assignment step). Next, for each piece of data indicating a plurality of display areas, information about contents that can be displayed in the display area is output together with an identification number (information output information). Tape). Then, based on the output information, a plurality of content digitized data is created, and the same identification number as the identification number assigned to the data indicating the corresponding display area is assigned to the created plurality of content digitized data. (Content digitalization data creation step). Finally, in accordance with the identification number, a plurality of corresponding content digitized data is combined with data indicating a plurality of display areas of the layout digitized data (thread binding step).

 [0021] Next, a case where image content digitized data obtained by digitizing image content is created by the system of the present invention will be described. In this case, the plurality of display areas include a plurality of image display areas for displaying image content. This system includes image content digitized data creating means for creating image content digitized data for obtaining a display image to be displayed in the image display area. In this case, as described above, after automatically assigning identification numbers to the plurality of display areas in the layout digitized data, the data indicating the plurality of display areas of the layout digitized data according to the identification numbers It is also possible to combine multiple corresponding content electronic data. In that case, if the system is configured to include the above-mentioned layout digitized data creation means, identification number assigning means, information output means, and combination means, the power of image content digitized data creation means.

[0022] This image content digitized data creating means creates a temporary image including a display portion that is created based on the actual image data obtained by digitizing the actual image and displayed in the image display area. Data creation that inputs temporary image data that includes temporary image specifying information for specifying the size of the temporary image and the display portion of the temporary image displayed in the image display area and the actual image data. Means and position information adding means. Based on these inputs, the data creation means creates from the actual image data, digitized image content data that is the same size as the temporary image and has a predetermined resolution. The position information adding means makes the display image created based on the image content digitized data and displayed in the image display area the same as the display portion of the temporary image displayed in the image display area. Is added to the image content digitized data. [0023] Note that data relating to the size of the temporary image and the positional information of the display portion of the temporary image displayed in the image display area is given from the information output means. The actual image data is accompanied by resolution data of the actual image.

 [0024] According to this typesetting digitized data creation system, the display image created based on the image content digitized data and displayed in the image display area is the same as the display portion of the temporary image displayed in the image display area. The position information for making the image content is added to the image content electronic data. As a result, when actual image data (resolution of actual image data, color mode, file format, etc.) is adjusted to create digitized image content data, the adjusted actual image data (image content digitized data) There is no misalignment when rearranging on the layout digitized data. In addition, the adjusted actual image data can be easily rearranged on the digitized layout data with image data.

 [0025] In this typesetting digitized data creation system, the position information adding means uses the positional relationship between the display portion of the temporary image displayed in the image display area and the image display area as position information. It is preferable to add it to the image content digitized data (adjusted actual image data). In this way, the temporary image data can be replaced with the adjusted actual image data based on the positional relationship between the display portion of the temporary image displayed in the image display area and the image display area. It is possible to reliably prevent misalignment when rearranging image data.

[0026] Based on the image content digitized data (adjusted actual image data), the display image created in the image display area and displayed in the image display area is the display part of the temporary image displayed in the image display area. The position information for making them the same is obtained as follows. For example, coordinate information indicating the position of the display portion of the temporary image and the image display area is used. For example, the positional relationship is an arbitrary point other than the central coordinates located at the center of the temporary image displayed in the image display area and the central coordinates located on the display portion of the temporary image displayed in the image display area. The positional relationship with the one coordinate shown is the positional information. In this way, when an actual image obtained by visualizing the adjusted actual image data is placed, the center coordinate and one coordinate are matched with the coordinates determined based on the display portion of the temporary image (that is, Using the temporary image data, the positional relationship between the image display area and the temporary image defined above is used as is) In both cases, it is possible to replace an actual image whose resolution has been adjusted to a constant value, so that it is possible to more reliably prevent misalignment when rearranging the adjusted actual image data.

 [0027] In this case, the image content digitized data creation means also includes data other than the size and resolution of the temporary image among the data information such as the size, resolution, color mode, and data format of the temporary image. Data information creation means for creating image content digitized data whose information is predetermined data information from actual image data can be included. In this way, data information other than the size and resolution of the temporary image can be adjusted to predetermined data conditions, so that the data in the string and plate digitized data can be unified. I'll do it.

 [0028] According to the present invention, each of the data indicating the plurality of display areas of the digitized layout data obtained by digitizing a layout document including a plurality of display areas in which a plurality of contents such as image data and character data are displayed. It can be specified as a typesetting digitized data creation program for creating typesetting digitized data necessary for creating a typesetting by combining a plurality of content digitized data obtained by digitizing the corresponding contents. This program is configured to execute the above-described identification number assignment step, information output step, content digitized data creation step, and combination step by a computer.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

First, an example of an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a diagram in which a layout image is visualized on the display based on the digitized layout data used in the present embodiment. FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a state in which the typesetting is visualized on the display based on the typesetting digitized data created in the present embodiment. In FIG. 1, what is indicated by reference numeral 1 is an image created on the computer display based on the electronic layout data. Since it is difficult to display the contents of data in one figure, this display image will be described as layout digitized data for convenience. The electronic layout data 1 is an electronic layout manuscript and is created by a designer. The digitized layout data 1 includes data for indicating a plurality of display areas 3 on which a plurality of contents such as image contents and character contents are displayed. In this example, there are a plurality of display areas, 3 display areas, 10 display areas 3a, 3b, 3c, 3d, 3e, 3f, 3g, 3h, 3i, and ¾. As will be described later, among these display areas, illustration content consisting of illustrations is displayed in the illustration display area 3a. In addition, the image display areas 3b, 3g, 3i, and ¾ display image content made up of images, respectively, and the character display areas 3c, 3d, 3e, 3f, and 3h display character content that has character power, respectively. . Image content is displayed in advance in the image display areas 3b, 3g, 3i, and ¾ of the layout electronic data 1. In the character display areas 3c, 3d, 3e, 3f, 3h where the character content is displayed, the number of characters WQ (number of characters per line and the number of lines) is displayed.

In FIG. 2, reference numeral 5 indicates a display image of the typesetting visualized on the computer display based on the string and plate digitized data. Since it is difficult to display the contents of the typesetting digitized data, this display image will be described as typesetting digitized data 5 for convenience. The typesetting digitized data 5 is an electronic version of the typesetting and is created based on the layout digitizing data 1. The typesetting digitized data 5 includes content electronic data in which a plurality of contents such as image contents and character contents are electronically displayed at positions corresponding to the display area 3 of the layout document visualized based on the digitized layout data 1. The data is combined. In the example of FIG. 2, the illustration content 6 visualized based on the illustration content digitized data obtained by digitizing the illustration content is displayed in the display area 3a. In the image display areas 3b, 3g, 3i, and ¾, image contents 7 (7a, 7b, 7c, and 7d) visualized based on digitized image content data are displayed. . In addition, the character display areas 3c, 3d, 3e, 3f, 3h are based on the digitized data of character content! /, And character content 9 (9a, 9b, 9c, 9d, 9e) Visualized and displayed. In the following, since electronic data cannot be seen with eyes, the illustration content 6, image content 7 and character content 9 are used for convenience, and these electronic data are converted to illustration content electronic data 6, image content electronic Data 7 and character content digitized data 9 will be described below. Illustration content digitized data 6 and image content digitized data 7 are image data having data information such as size, resolution, color mode, and data format, and character content digitized data 9 are text data. .

In the following, steps necessary for a method for creating typesetting digitized data performed in the typesetting digitized data creation system will be described. FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing an algorithm of a compositional digitized data creation program installed in a computer when creating the digitized digitized data 5 from the layout digitized data 1 using the computer. Fig 4 FIG. 8 is a diagram showing a state in which an identification number is assigned to a display area 3 that is visualized on the display and displayed on the display. FIG. 5 is a diagram used when explaining the process of creating the format digitized data 5 by combining the layout digitized data 1 and the content digitized data 6, 7, 9. In FIGS. 4 and 5, parts common to FIGS. 1 and 2 are denoted by the same reference numerals as those in FIGS. 1 and 2, and description thereof is omitted. In this typesetting digitized data creation method, an identification number assignment step (ST1), an information output step (ST2), a content digitized data creation step (ST3, ST4), and a condition adjustment step (ST5) Then, the combination step (ST6) is executed. Specifically, a program for realizing a plurality of function execution means necessary for the system is installed in the computer and executed in the computer.

 In the identification number assigning step (ST 1), identification numbers are automatically assigned to the data indicating the plurality of display areas 3 in the digitized layout data 1. The given identification number is visualized and displayed in each display area 3 of the visualized layout document. In Fig. 4, the number indicated by reference numeral 11 is the identification number. As the identification number, any number may be used as long as it can identify each of the plurality of display areas 3 in the layout original document. However, it is preferable to use numbers, letters, or symbols in consideration of easy identification number identification. In the example shown in FIG. 4, numerals “1” to “10” indicated by reference numerals 11 and 11 “” are used as identification numbers. Identification numbers are assigned to multiple display areas without distinguishing between image display areas and character display areas. Also, as the identification number, a numerical identification number is assigned to the character display areas 3c, 3d, 3e, 3f, 3h, and an alphabetic identification number is assigned to the image display areas 3b, 3g, 3i, ¾. Different types of identification numbers may be assigned to the display areas 3b, 3g, 3i, ¾ and the character display areas 3c, 3d, 3e, 3f, 3h. This makes it easy to distinguish between the image display areas 3b, 3g, 3i, ¾ and the character display areas 3c, 3d, 3e, 3f, 3h due to the difference in the identification number. Even when digitized data and digitized data are handled at the same time, the typesetting work becomes easy.

[0034] The identification number may be assigned either regularly or irregularly. However, in this example, in the display area of the layout document, the display area located in the upper area on the left side is changed to the display area located in the lower area, and then the upper area on the right side. Positioning display area force An identification number from 1 to 10 is assigned to the display area located below the display area in ascending order of numbers. In this way, it becomes easy to individually search for the identification number given on the layout document in which the layout digitized data is visualized. This makes it easy to specify each display area on a layout document that visualizes the digitized layout data. In addition, as shown in FIG. 4, when the digitized layout data 1 already contains content digitized data! /, The data indicating the display area 3 in which the content digitized data is displayed includes: The power to which the identification number is assigned It can be set not to display the identification number when the layout electronic data 1 is made visible. In this way, in the identification number assigning step (ST1), since the identification number can be automatically assigned to the data indicating the display area 3 of the layout digitized data 1, a plurality of display areas of the layout digitized data 1 are displayed. The identification number can be assigned to the data indicating 3 in a short time.

[0035] In the information output step (ST2), information about contents that can be displayed in the plurality of display areas 3 is output together with the identification numbers assigned in the identification number assignment step (ST1). In this example, information output in the information output step (ST2) includes identification number information for identifying the display area and the number of characters of character content displayed in the character display areas 3c, 3d, 3e, 3f, 3h WQ The information (number of characters per line and number of lines) is output together. As will be described later, the temporary image for specifying the size of the temporary image obtained by visualizing the temporary image data and the display portion displayed in the image display area, which is necessary when displaying the image content in the image display area. Specific information can also be output in the information output step (ST2).

[0036] In the content digitized data creation step (ST3, ST4), a plurality of content digitized data is created (ST3) based on the information output in the information output step (ST2), and the created plurality of contents are created. Identification numbers 1 to 10 (numbers indicated by reference numeral 1 Γ in FIG. 5) corresponding to the identification numbers assigned to the display areas respectively displayed in the digitized data are also given (ST4). The identification number (number indicated by 1 Γ in FIG. 5) may be given at the same time as or before or after the creation of the character content electronic data 9, or an operator's identification number may be given. . In this example, based on the information output in the information output step (ST2), it is given to the data indicating display area 3 of layout digitized data 1. The corresponding identification numbers (numbers 1 to 10 indicated by reference numeral 11) (digits 1 to 1 indicated by reference numeral 1: LO numbers) are digitized as shown in FIG. It is added to the text data of data 9 (9a, 9b, 9c, 9d, 9e). For example, a manuscript author (writer) uses text data creation software, etc., inputs a single identification number, then starts a new line, and inputs text data of character content corresponding to the identification number. When inputting the next text data, after a line break, input the identification number and enter the text data (character content digitized data 9) in the next writing area after the line break.

 In this example, the reason for this is to distinguish between the number of 1 to: LO used for the identification number (number indicated by reference numeral 11) and the character content digitized data 9. In other words, 1 to: used for the identification number: The number of LOs is also text data as with the character content digitized data 9, so that the identification number is not treated as part of the digitized content digitized data 9. The Note that the plurality of character content digitized data 9 may be stored together in one file, or may be distributed and stored in a plurality of files. In this example, multiple character content digitized data 9 are stored together in one file.

[0038] In the condition adjustment step (ST5), the condition adjustment of the content digitized data (6, 7, 9) is performed. In this example, although not shown in the figure, as the condition adjustment of the character content digitized data 9, automatic line feed deletion processing, full-width conversion processing, Arabic numeral processing, braille processing, double quotation processing, linkage processing with external characters, ruby Processing of data conditions such as processing is performed. Regarding the processing of these data conditions, the processing conditions can be set according to the conditions of the content digitized data 6, 7, and 9, and the processing of the data conditions can be individually or appropriately combined. Here, the automatic line feed deletion process is a process that forcibly deletes all the line feeds input to the character content digitized data 9. However, if it is necessary to display a headline etc. on the formatted digitized data 5, a new line is entered again by entering the designated new line tag. The full-width conversion process is a process for converting all half-width characters input to the character content digitized data 9 into full-width characters. However, in the case of horizontally written English characters, they are maintained as half-width characters. In addition, Arabic numeral processing is performed by converting all double-byte characters to half-width characters when horizontally writing Arabic numerals displayed in double-byte characters. However, if the Arabic numeral is 1 digit Enter a one-quarter space before and after the converted half-width character. When writing Arabic numerals displayed in full-width characters vertically, if the Arabic numerals are 1 or 2 digits, convert the full-width characters to half-width characters and store them in one corner, and if the Arabic numerals are 3 digits Is a double-byte character that has been changed to one-third and stored in a single-byte character.If there are more than four digits in an Arabic numeral, a double-byte character is converted into a single-byte character, and one character is stored in a single character. Is called. In addition, when the brackets are entered at the beginning of the character content digitized data 9, half-width spaces are entered before the brackets. In addition, the double quotation processing is performed when double coating is input to the text content digitized data 9. If horizontal writing is performed after pouring, superscript is applied for both front and rear, and vertical writing is performed after pouring. In this case, the upper side is converted to the right side and the lower side to the left side. The linkage process with external characters is a process of automatically converting characters to external characters by enclosing the characters in special brackets such as black-outed ones. The ruby process is a process of automatically inputting ruby by including the input ruby information in the character content digitized data 9 based on a predetermined rule. By performing these processes, it is possible to unify the conditions for digitized content digital data 9 before typesetting.

Although not shown, data information adjustment such as enlargement / reduction processing, resolution processing, color mode processing, and data format processing is performed as information adjustment of the image content digitized data 7. Here, the enlarging / reducing process is a process of enlarging or reducing the size of the image content digitized data 7 to a predetermined size. The resolution process is a process for adjusting the resolution of the image content digitized data 7 to a predetermined resolution. The color mode process is a process of converting the color mode of the image content digitized data 7 to a predetermined color mode (for example, converting to CMYK if the color mode is not CMYK or grayscale). The data format process is a process of converting the data format of the image content digitized data 7 into a predetermined data format (for example, converting to the EPS format if the data format is other than PS, PSD, TIFF format). In this way, by processing the data information of the content digitized data 6, 7, 9 at step (ST5), the format of the content digitized data 6, 7, 9 can be unified. In addition, data indicating a plurality of display areas of the layout digitized data 1 includes image content, text content, and the like. When combining a large number of content digitized data, operations such as deleting line breaks in document content and adjusting the color mode of image content become easy.

 [0040] In the combination step (ST6), a plurality of content digitized data corresponding to the data indicating the plurality of display areas 3 of the layout digitized data 1 according to the identification number (a number of 1 to 10 in this example). 6, 7 and 9 are threaded together. Specifically, in this example, when the digitized content content data 9 is input to the CPU of the computer, the numbers 1, 2 of the identification numbers given to the data indicating the plurality of display areas 3 of the layout digitized data 1 , 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and character content electronic data 9a, 9b, 9c, 9d, 9e Is queried. As a result of the inquiry, the digitized content data 9a, 9b, 9a, 9b, 9c, 9d, 9e are combined. In this way, the electronic composition data 5 is completed based on the electronic layout data 1.

 As described above, according to the present embodiment, the identification number (number indicated by reference numeral 11) is automatically assigned to the data indicating the plurality of display areas 3 in the digitized layout data 1, and then the layout is displayed. The data indicating the plurality of display areas 3 of the digitized data 1 are combined with the plurality of content digitized data 6, 7, 9 digitized corresponding to the identification number. As a result, the operation of combining the corresponding contents with the data indicating the plurality of display areas 3 in the electronic layout data 1 that has been performed manually by the operator can be omitted. This makes it easier to create typesetting digitized data 5 based on 1. In addition, since the identification number can be assigned to the data that displays the display area 3 of the digitized layout data 1, the identification number is missing on the display area 3 when the digitized layout data 1 is visualized. There is nothing.

 [0042] As described above, the data creation method of the present invention can also be specified as a typesetting computerized data creation program for executing this and a recording medium on which the program is recorded.

. The typesetting digitized data creation program can be executed on the CPU of the computer. In addition, by recording the program on a recording medium, the method for creating typesetting digitized data of the present invention can be made versatile.

Next, a system configuration of an example of an embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 6 illustrates the present invention. It is a block diagram which shows the system configuration | structure of an example of embodiment. As shown in FIG. 6, the typesetting digitized data creation system of this embodiment comprises an identification number assigning means 13, an information output means 15, a combination executing means 17, and a content digitized data creating means 18. Has been. The identification number assigning means 13 generates an identification number assigned to the data indicating the display area 3 in the layout digitized data 1 input from the layout digitized data input means 12 for inputting the digitized layout data. It is combined with the identification number generating means 14 to be used. The identification number assigning means 13 automatically assigns an identification number (number indicated by reference numeral 11) to data indicating a plurality of display areas 3 in the digitized layout data 1 (step ST1 in FIG. 3 is performed). Effective). Information of the identification number assigned to the data indicating the display area 3 by the identification number assigning means 13 is stored in the information storage means 16 together with the information of the digitized layout data 1.

 [0044] The information output means 15 determines the amount of content that can be displayed in the display area 3 together with the identification number information assigned to the display area 3 stored in the information storage means 16 and the identification number. Output information (execute step ST2 in Fig. 3).

 [0045] The content digitized data creation means 18 creates a plurality of content digitized data 6, 7, 9 based on the information (identification number and content amount) output from the information output means 15. Then, an identification number corresponding to the identification number assigned to the display area 3 is assigned to the created plurality of contents electronic data 6, 7, and 9. After that, the combination execution means 17 combines the corresponding plurality of content digitized data 6, 7, 9 with the data indicating the plurality of display areas 3 of the layout digitized data 1 according to the assigned identification numbers. (Equivalent to step ST6 in Fig. 3). In this example, the combination means 30 is attached with condition adjustment means 31 for adjusting conditions such as the format of the content digitized data 6, 7, 9 (corresponding to step ST5 in FIG. 3).

In this example, the content digitized data 9 created based on the information output by the information output means 15 is transferred to the content via the content digitized data input means 19 for inputting the content digitized data 1. Stored in the digitized data storage means 21. The content digitized data 9 stored in the content digitized data storage means 21 and the information of the identification number assigned to the data indicating the display area 3 stored in the information storage means 16 are identified. Each number is inquired by the number inquiry means 23. Then, the common identification numbers are combined by the combination means 30 by the inquiry result determination means 25 for determining the inquiry result, and the formatted data 5 is completed (step ST6 in FIG. 3). The completed typesetting digitized data 5 is stored in the typesetting digitized data storage means 27 and outputted to the outside by the typesetting digitized data output means 29.

 [0047] It should be noted that, in the state where each content digitized data is combined with the layout digitized data 1, the identification number can be seen in each display area 3 on the image obtained by visualizing the layout digitized data on which each content is displayed. Whether or not to display the power is arbitrary. In this case, if each display area 3 is set to display an identification number together with each content, the content digitized data is combined with the layout digitized data 1 and displayed in each display area 3. Since the relationship between the identification number and each content can be visually recognized, it becomes easy to manage the arrangement of each content. In this case, as a matter of course, it may be set to display the identification number only in the display area where the deviation of the character content or the image content is displayed.

 [0048] When an identification number is displayed in the display area where the character content is displayed, a phenomenon occurs in which it is difficult to see a portion where the character content and the identification number overlap. In this case, the identification number can be easily recognized by coloring the background of the identification number. However, if an identification number is assigned to the display area where the character content is displayed in advance, the character content cannot be recognized because the character content is concealed in the background when the background is colored. Therefore, although not particularly illustrated, in this example, the background is colored so that the background is translucent after being colored. In this way, even if the identification number is assigned to the display area where the text content is displayed in advance and the identification number and the text content overlap, it is only possible to distinguish the identification number from the text content. Both identification numbers and character content can be recognized. The background may be colored either achromatic or chromatic. The degree of translucency of coloring (transmissivity) should be set to a transmissivity that can be recognized by distinguishing the identification number from the text content with 50% as a guide.

[0049] When the text content digitized data is combined with the layout digitized data. In addition, when the number of characters in the digitized content data is larger than the number of characters that can originally enter the display area, the content of the character content may overflow the display area of the digitized layout data. For this reason, although not shown in the drawing, in this example, the portion overflowing the display area is set to be displayed in a different font (character type, character color, etc.) from the character content displayed in the display area. For example, if the character color of the character content displayed in the display area is black, but the character color of the portion overflowing the display area is set to be red, the overflowing portion can be clearly recognized.

 Next, an embodiment of a typesetting digitized data creation method and system including a method for adjusting image data of layout digitized data with image data will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 7 and FIG. 8 are diagrams showing an aspect in the case of performing the combination work by visualizing the layout digitized data used in this embodiment. FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing the algorithm of the program used when the typesetting digitized data creation method of the present embodiment is implemented using a computer. FIG. 10 is a diagram used to explain a method of adjusting image data of layout digitized data with image data using the present embodiment. FIG. 11 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the typesetting digitized data creation system of this embodiment. In these drawings, parts similar to those shown in the drawings for explaining the first embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 6 are designated by the reference numerals in FIGS. A reference numeral added with the numeral is added and the description is omitted.

[0051] In FIG. 7, reference numeral 101 is a diagram in which the digitized layout data with image data is visualized on the display. In the following description, invisible data is replaced with an image for convenience, and is described as layout digitized data 101 with image data. The digitized layout data 101 with image data includes the actual image data 102 (102a, 102b, 102c, 102d) that forms the image content digitized data 107 (107a, 107b, 107c, 107d) and the image content electronic data. Provisional image data 104 (104a, 104b, 104c, 104d) corresponding to the bag data 107 (107a, 107b, 107c, 107d) is provided. The layout digitized data 101 with image data includes provisional image specifying information. The actual image data 102 is visualized and displayed in the image display areas 103b, 103g, 1031, 103j as a temporary image (temporary image data visualized on the visualized layout digitized data). Yes.

 [0052] The temporary image data 104 is created based on the actual image data 102, and when the layout digitized data 101 is visualized, the image display portion 110 displayed in the image display areas 103b, 103g, 1031, and 103j. This is image data for creating a temporary image including (110a, 110b, 110c, l lOd). The display portion 110 may be exactly the same as the actual image data or may be a part of it. In this example, the display portion 110 displayed at the top of FIG. 7 corresponds to a portion in which the actual image is partitioned by broken lines.

 The temporary image data 104 (104a, 104b, 104c, 104d) is image data serving as a base for an image displayed on the screen when the layout electronic data 101 with image data is visualized. The temporary image data 104 is digitized image data temporarily created to visualize the actual image data 102 on the display based on the actual image data 102 (102a, 102b, 102c, 102d). . In the temporary image data, there is no need to worry about conditions such as resolution. This is also the power that temporary image data is used to define the layout of images in the electronic layout data.

 The temporary image specifying information is information for specifying the size of the temporary image visualized using the temporary image data 104 and the display portion 110 displayed in the image display areas 103b, 103g, 1031, and 10¾. . The temporary image specifying information will be described in detail later.

 In the typesetting digitized data creation method of the present embodiment, image content digitized data is created using a program having the algorithm shown in FIG. In this algorithm

In order to obtain display images to be displayed in the image display areas 103b, 103g, 1031, and 103j shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. 8, the image content digitized data creation step having six steps (ST101 to ST106) is executed. This image content digitized data creation step (ST101 to ST106) is composed of a data creation step (ST101, ST103, ST104) and a position information-added calo step (ST102, ST105, ST106). In this position information adding step, information on the rotational frequency (not shown) can be added. In the data creation step (ST101, ST103, ST104), image content that can create an image that has the same size as the temporary image and that has a predetermined resolution and the resolution is digitized data 107 (107a, 107b, 107c, 107d) from real image data 102 . In this example, 350 dpi is used as a predetermined fixed resolution. In the position information addition step (ST102, ST105, ST106), the display image visualized based on the image content digitized data 107 and displayed in the image display areas 103b, 103g, 1031, 103j is a layout electronic image with image data. Position information power to make the same as the display portion 110 of the temporary image displayed in the image display areas 103b, 103g, 103i, 103j when the digitized data is visualized on the display 107 Appended to. In the position information adding step (ST102, ST105, ST106), the positional relationship between the temporary image 104 and the image display areas 103b, 103g, 1031, 103j is added to the image content digitized data 107 as position information.

 In this embodiment, the display image power generated based on the image content digitized data 107 and displayed in the image display areas 103b, 103g, 1031, 103j Image display areas 103b, 103g, 1031, 103j The position information is used so that it is the same as the display part 110 of the temporary image displayed on the screen. The position information includes coordinate information indicating the relationship between the position of the temporary image obtained by visualizing the temporary image data 104 and the position of the image display areas 103b, 103g, 1031, and 103j. In this example, as the positional relationship, the coordinate P 1 indicating an arbitrary point located in the display portion 110 of the temporary image displayed in the image display areas 103b, 103g, 1031, 10¾ and the center of the temporary image are displayed. The positional relationship with the center coordinate P2 located at is used.

[0057] First, in step ST101, the size of the temporary image data 104 shown in FIG. 7 (corresponding to the relative size with respect to the layout of the image obtained by visualizing the temporary image data 104) and the resolution are confirmed. (ST101). The size of the temporary image data 104 is larger than the size of the display portion 110 in relation to the display portion 110 displayed in the image display areas 103b, 103g, 1031, and 10¾. In FIG. 7, the resolution of the actual image data 102a is 600 dpi, and the resolution of the actual image data 102b is 300 dpi. When the actual image data 102a and 102b are used as they are, the resolutions of the temporary image data 104a and 104b are 600 dpi and 300 dpi. Temporary image data is used to define the layout, so there is no need to worry about resolution. If the size of the actual image obtained by visualizing the actual image data is smaller than the image display area, enlargement adjustment is performed via the temporary image so that the visualized image is larger than the image display area. If the actual image is too large, The reduction adjustment is performed via the temporary image so that the processed image fits in the image display area. Figure

In FIG. 7, the display portion 110 that is actually displayed on the screen is a part of the temporary image obtained by visualizing the temporary image data 104, so the resolution of the display portion 110 is the same as the resolution of the temporary image data 104. Specifically, the display portions 110a and 110b are 600 dpi and 300 dpi, respectively. When the digitized layout data with image data is actually visualized on the display, for the sake of convenience, only the display part 110 of the temporary image data 104 is visualized in the image display area, and the other parts are not visible on the display. It is like this.

 Next, as shown in FIG. 10, one coordinate P1 in the display portion 110 when the temporary image data 104 is visualized in the image display area, and the temporary image when the temporary image data 104 is visualized. Check the center coordinate P2. Then, the positional relationship between one coordinate P 1 in the display portion 110 and the center coordinate P2 of the temporary image is confirmed (ST102). This positional relationship is displayed in the image display area in the digitized layout data together with the size of the temporary image data (equivalent to the size of the image relative to the layout when the temporary image is visualized). Stored as part 110 data. In this example, one coordinate P1 in the temporary image is a coordinate on the temporary image corresponding to the corner located at the upper left of the display portion 110, and therefore the reference point for setting the image is set. It becomes easy. In theory, however, this one coordinate P1 can be the coordinate of any position within the display portion 110. By confirming the positional relationship between one coordinate P1 of the display part 110 in the temporary image that visualizes the temporary image data 104 and the central coordinate P2 of the temporary image, the image is attached based on the confirmed positional relationship information. The positional relationship with the image 104a (corresponding to the display portion 110) obtained by visualizing the temporary image 104 in the image obtained by visualizing the layout electronic data 101 is specified.

Next, the size and resolution of the actual image obtained by visualizing the actual image data 102 are confirmed (ST103). If the size of the actual image that visualizes the actual image data 102 is smaller than the size of the temporary image that visualizes the temporary image data 104, the size of the temporary image 104 and the size of the actual image are the same. Thus, adjustment is performed to enlarge the image to the actual image data 102. If the resolution of the actual image is not 350 dpi, adjustment is performed to adjust the resolution of the actual image to a predetermined 350 dpi resolution with respect to the actual image data (ST104). Like this Data with adjusted image power becomes image content computerized data. In this example, the digitized image content data is visualized at the top of FIG. 8, and a part of the image 108a is partitioned by a broken line as a portion displayed in the image display area 103b. . In the lowermost part of FIG. 8, the digitized image content data is visualized, and a part of the image 108b is partitioned by a broken line as a portion displayed in the image display area 103g.

 [0060] On the other hand, when the size of the actual image obtained by visualizing the actual image data 102 is larger than the size of the temporary image, the size of the temporary image and the size of the actual image are the same. Adjustment for reducing the actual image is performed on the data 102. Further, the actual image data 102 is adjusted so that the resolution of the actual image becomes a predetermined 350 dpi resolution (ST104).

 Next, information on the positional relationship between one coordinate P1 of the temporary image confirmed in ST102 and the central coordinate P2 of the temporary image is added to the actual image data 102 whose conditions have been adjusted. This positional relationship information includes information on the degree of rotation of the temporary image centered on P2. As a result, the images 104a and 104b obtained by visualizing the temporary image data 104 are replaced with the images 108a and 108b obtained by visualizing the adjusted actual image data 102, and the step is finished (ST106). In the center of FIG. 8, the display portions 108a and 108b obtained by visualizing the actual image data 102 are displayed in the image display areas 103b and 103g.

[0062] When the typesetting digitized data creation method of the present embodiment is used, when determining the layout of the image in the digitized data 101, the temporary image based on the temporary image data is used. No need to worry about adjusting image data. When actually creating image data to be used, the actual image data is adjusted to make the actual image the same size as the temporary image, the resolution is adjusted to be constant, and the positional relationship information is also obtained. Work to add to actual image data. The adjusted actual image data (image content digitized data 107) is rearranged on the layout digitized data 101 with image data. In this way, since the position information determined by the temporary image is added to the actual image data, the image data rearranged on the layout digitized data 101 with image data (adjusted actual image data) is visualized. However, no positional deviation occurs. [0063] Further, the image data of the layout digitized data 101 with image data is rearranged on the layout digitized data 101 with image data as image data whose resolution is adjusted to a predetermined resolution. Therefore, there will be no problems caused by different resolutions. That is, in the present embodiment, the layout is performed using the temporary image, the positional relationship between the image display area and the image is clarified using the temporary image, and the actual relationship is based on the information about the positional relationship. Since the image data is adjusted and actually placed on the electronic layout data 101, even if the image size or resolution of the image data used varies, it does not cause misalignment due to enlargement or reduction of the image. Moreover, the actual image data after adjustment can be rearranged easily.

 [0064] Although not shown, in the typesetting digitized data creation method of the present embodiment, the image content digitized data creation step includes the size, resolution, color mode, data format, etc. of the temporary image. A data information creation step is also included for creating digitized image content data that can create an image in which data information other than the size and resolution of the temporary image in the data information becomes predetermined data information. Out. By further executing such a data information creation step, data information other than the size and resolution of the temporary image can be adjusted to predetermined data information. Can be unified.

The typesetting digitized data creation method of the embodiment described above can also be specified as a typesetting digitized data creation program for executing this and a recording medium on which the program is recorded. By providing such a typesetting digitized data creation program and its recording medium, the typesetting digitized data creation method of the present embodiment can be executed on a computer, and the typesetting digitized data of the present embodiment. The creation method can be versatile.

Next, a typesetting computerized data creation system that executes the method of the above embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 11 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the typesetting digitized data creation system of this embodiment. As shown in FIG. 11, the typesetting digitized data creation system of the present embodiment is the image content digitized data 107 (107a, 107b, 107b) for obtaining the display image to be displayed in the image display areas 103b, 103g, 1031, 103j. 107c, 107d) An image content digitized data creation means 201 to be created is included.

This image content digitized data creation means 201 is constituted by each means from data creation means 203 to replacement means 217. The data creating means 203 is based on the digitized layout data with image data including the image layout and the temporary image data input from the layout digitized data input means 202 with image data. Data that is the basis for creating the image content digitized data 107 from the actual image data 102, which can create an image that has the same size and the same resolution as the temporary image, but has a predetermined resolution. And data including data such as the size of temporary images). Based on the data created by the data creation means 203, the size of the temporary image obtained by visualizing the temporary image data is confirmed by the temporary image size confirmation means 207 (execution of step ST101 in FIG. 9). Then, the actual image data adjustment means 209 makes the actual image data 102 the same size as the actual image size power. The temporary image size confirmation means 207 confirms the temporary image data 104, which is the same size as the visualized temporary image. In addition, the actual image data is adjusted so that the resolution of the actual image becomes a predetermined fixed resolution (implementation of steps ST103 and ST104 in FIG. 9). The adjusted actual image data is stored in the adjusted image storage unit 211 as the image content digitized data 107.

On the other hand, for the input digitized layout data 101 with image data, the temporary image position information confirmation unit 213 confirms the position information of the temporary image data 104 (execution of step ST 102 in FIG. 9). The confirmed position information of the temporary image data 104 is stored in the position information storage unit 215. The position information of the stored temporary image data 104 is added by the position information adding means 205 to the image content digitized data 107 which is the actual image data after adjustment stored in the adjusted image storage means 211 (ST105). . That is, in the position information adding means 205, the display image power generated based on the image content digitized data 107 and displayed in the image display areas 103b, 103g, 103i, 103j is displayed in the image display areas 103b, 103g, 103i, 10¾. Position information for making it the same as the display portion 110 of the temporary image is added to the image content digitized data 107.

[0069] Further, in this example, in order to adjust data information other than the size and resolution of the temporary image among the data information such as the size, resolution, color mode, and data format of the temporary image, Information adjustment means 217 is provided. This data information adjustment means 217 is a method for adjusting each of the image content digitized data 107, which is actual image data adjusted so that the data information such as the color mode, tilt, and data format becomes predetermined constant data information. Adjust the data information (execution of step ST105 in Fig. 9).

 [0070] Then, replacement means 219 replaces temporary image data 104 with digitized image content data 107, which is actual image data after adjustment (ST106).

 [0071] Note that, for example, when the resolution of the actual image data 102 is relatively high at 600 dpi, the amount of data of the layout digitized data 101 including the temporary image data becomes large, and the creation of image content digitized data (data It takes time to move or process the material. For this reason, it is preferable that the resolution of the actual image used when creating the layout digitized data 101 is low (the data capacity is small). Therefore, for example, when creating the electronic layout data 101, the data capacity is low because the resolution of the actual image based on the actual image data 102 to be used is adjusted to 72 dpi!ヽ Real image data (hereinafter referred to as low-capacity actual image data! / ヽ ぅ) may be used. It should be noted that the resolution after the change is not limited to 72 dpi, and it is a matter of course that the resolution is such that it does not take time to create the layout digitized data 101 (data movement or processing, etc.).

In this case, when the creation of the digitized layout data 101 is completed, an operation of returning (replacing) the real image data adjusted for the low capacity to the real image data 102 before the change is performed. The reason for returning (replacing) the low-volume adjusted real image data to the real image data 102 before the change is that the printed image becomes rough when printing the digitized layout data 101 with the low-volume adjusted real image data. You are. The work to return (replace) the low-volume adjusted real image data to the real image data 102 before the change is performed as follows. If you specify one of the image display areas 103b, 103g, 103, or 103j of the digitized layout data 101, an `` image selection '' icon that allows you to select the actual image data 102 is displayed. To do. When the icon is designated, the actual image data 102 can be selected entirely or individually. Here, the real image data 102 corresponding to the low-volume adjusted real image data is individually selected and designated, and the real image data 102 to be returned (replaced) is specified. This is the case where there are multiple low-volume adjusted real image data. When returning the image data to the real image data 102 at the same time (replacement), it is possible to link the real image data by assigning a common identification number to the real image data and the real image data 102 that have been adjusted to a low capacity. That's fine. Common identification symbols such as the same alphabet can be given. In addition, as a method of assigning a common identification number to the low-volume adjusted real image data and the real image data 102, the method in the case where the target is the image content in the typesetting digitized data creation method of FIG. 3 described above. A method of assigning an identification number may be used. In this case, if the above-mentioned “Select Image” icon is specified to specify that all of the actual image data 102 is selected, the actual image data 102 corresponding to all of the low-volume adjusted image data is specified at once. Can be configured. In this way, each low-capacity actual image data can be returned to the actual image data.

[0073] In addition, for image data such as photographs (hereinafter referred to as "main image data") used for typesetting, advanced image data correction such as color correction and cropping has been completed yet! Even when the image content digitized data including the unmodified actual image is used, after the creation of the image content digitized data 107 is completed, the unmodified actual image data can be replaced with the main image data. The operation of replacing the actual image data with the actual image data described above is performed except that the low-capacity actual image data is uncorrected actual image data and the actual image data 102 is the actual image data. This is the same as replacing the image data 102. Note that when using the image content digitized data 107 including uncorrected actual image data, if the resolution of the uncorrected actual image data is high (the data capacity is large), the above-described low-capacity adjusted actual image data is used.
