Description

  The present invention relates to a printed material production support system and a printed material production support program that support the production of printed materials such as magazines on which a plurality of contents are posted.

Publishers that create printed materials such as magazines request external creators such as writers, designers, and photographers to create articles and create and issue ordering slips for these subcontractors.
Here, the magazine is created based on a table called a table table (see, for example, Patent Document 1). This table table corresponds to a design drawing showing the organization of a magazine, and is a list that displays the placement of content such as articles and advertisements to be published in the magazine. The aforementioned order slip is also issued with reference to this table.

  However, the conventional work of creating an ordering slip involves creating an ordering slip for each subcontractor, for example, verbally or by manually filling out a predetermined slip sheet. If the number of points is large, the work efficiency is poor, and there is a possibility that a slip of a slip is not issued.

The magazine name display area 2 is provided at the top of the display screen and extends in a strip shape in the left-right direction. As shown in FIG. 3, the magazine name (“weekly (not published for public order and morals violation) No. 11”) ) Is displayed.
The signature display area 3 is an area for displaying signatures constituting “weekly (not published for violation of public order and morals) No. 11”, and a plurality of rectangular areas 3a are vertically arranged at a substantially central portion in the horizontal direction of the display screen. It is arranged for each signature in the direction. In the rectangular area 3a arranged in the signature display area 3, a printing method (offset printing, gravure printing, etc.) of each signature, a signature name, and the like are displayed.

The content display area 4 is provided on the left and right portions of the display screen with the signature display area 3 as a boundary, and is configured by a plurality of rectangular areas 4 a similar to the signature display area 3. This rectangular area 4a displays the contents of each page of "Weekly (not published due to violation of public order and morals) No. 11". The area 4a is displayed in combination with another adjacent area 4a when the content covers a plurality of pages.
The content display area 4 displays the contents of the 1st to 128th pages in the area on the right side of the signature display area 3 and the contents of the 129th to 256th pages in the area on the left side (illustration is omitted for the 31st to 226th pages). . In addition, each rectangular area 4a constituting the content display area section 4 is an area where a page number is written, and the title of the content such as articles and advertisements, the number of pages, an editor, etc. It has an area to be displayed.

“Interview” is an article printed on the signature 2R. In the section of the signature 2R in the signature display area 3, "gravure" and "4x4" are displayed, which mean "gravure printing" and "four color printing", respectively.
The signature 2R is printed on both sides, for example, after being cut into A4 size by folding a sheet of A1 size twice into three, and the total number of pages is 16 pages. It has become. In the signature 2R, other articles, advertisements, etc. are printed on other pages (pages 15 to 16 and pages 235 to 242) other than the page on which the “interview” is posted.
“Dialogue” is an article consisting of 6 pages arranged in pages 17-22 in “Weekly (No public notice regarding violation of public order and morals) No. 11”. Both names are displayed on the table.

(Step 2: Select content)
For example, the user operates the input device 30 such as a mouse to operate the pointer displayed on the monitor device 20 to select the area 4a in which the article “interview” is arranged from the table 1, and the CPU 12 An input signal is transmitted.
Here, the database unit 13 holds forms of a plurality of types of slips, and the user selects a form to be used from among these on a selection screen (not shown). The form of the slip prepared in the database unit 13 includes a “consignment document” issued at the time of the first order, a “supplement document” for additionally writing undecided matters, and the like. Items described in “Supplement” are stored (stored) in the database unit 13 in association with “Consign”, and the user outputs “Storage” in which this consignment and supplement are associated. Can do.

(Step 3: slip image output)
When the content and the type of slip are determined, the CPU 12 creates a slip image for “interview” in accordance with the input signal and displays it on the monitor device 20.
FIG. 4 is a view showing a slip image of the consignment.
The voucher image is created by imitating a paper voucher that is actually issued, and the title of the voucher (“Planning Consignment”) is displayed, along with “Name of supplier”, “Publication number”, Description items such as "plan title", "person in charge", "plan content", "delivery date", "payment date", "amount", "number of pages", "page unit price", "pending items", and Blanks corresponding to these items are displayed. Note that a plurality of types of slip forms are prepared and can be selected according to the ordering party.

When a signal to create a consignment for the article “conversation” is input from the table 1, the CPU 12 diverts the blanks of the slip image by diverting the attribute data for the article “conversation” held in the database unit 13. It is supposed to fill.
The attribute data related to the article “interview” held by the database unit 13 includes the name of the supplier, the title of the printed matter on which “interview” is posted, the title of the content, the name of the person in charge, the number of pages, and the per-page for the supplier of the supplier. This relates to the unit price of payment, the delivery date of the article, etc., which are input prior to the issuance of the slip. The database unit 13 stores data such as the name of the photographer and the name of the writer according to the type of slip to be created.

  The CPU 12 refers to these attribute data, and as shown in FIG. ”Is the title of the printed material (weekly (not published due to violation of public order and morals) No. 11), the title of the content (interview) in the“ Plan title ”column, and the name of the person in charge ( Tanaka, Ikeda), “Delivery date” column, “Due date” (December 3, 2005), “Payment date” column, Payment date (January 31, 2006), “Amount” column A value (60,000 yen) obtained by multiplying the number of pages to be described later and the unit price per page (60,000 yen), the number of pages (6) in the “page number” column, and the page unit price (10, 000 yen).

(Step 4: Judgment of slip printing)
The user looks at the slip image displayed on the monitor device 20 to determine whether or not the description content of the slip is correct, and when there are items to be added to the slip image or when the items described are corrected, etc. Go to step 5.
On the other hand, if the description is correct, the process proceeds to step 6.
(Step 5: Addition and correction)
The user uses the input device 30 to input items to be added or corrected to the slip image.
For example, the slip image has a description column entitled “Content of agreement on the level at the time of receipt”, and is set in advance by a meeting or the like (for example, “Be sure to include a face photo of the interviewer”) Is not prepared in the database unit 13, the user fills in this item.
In addition, if there are matters that have not yet been agreed or decided at the time of issuance of the consignment letter, enter the pending matters in the “Undecided matters” column of the slip image, and specify the reason and the scheduled date of decision. Fill in the “reason” and “scheduled date” fields.
When these items are input, the process returns to step 3 to display a new slip image including the added and corrected items on the monitor device 20 (see FIG. 4). (Step 4).

(Step 6: Authorized person approval)
If the contents of the displayed slip image are correct, the slip is issued (printed).
Here, the creator of the voucher may be different from the person who has the authority to issue the voucher, whereas the person who creates (inputs) the voucher is the person in charge of editing in the editing of a normal magazine. The person who issues the slip is the person who has the authority to issue the slip (for example, the person in charge of editing such as the editor-in-chief). In this case, the slip is printed after obtaining the approval of the authorized person issuing the slip. Note that this step is omitted when the creator of the slip has the authority to issue the slip.
(Step 7: Print)
The voucher issuing authority operates the input device 30 of the computer device 100 to print the voucher in the same manner as the voucher creator (user).
The slip image is provided with a button displayed as “output” (actually an image expressed in a button shape), and an authorized person issuing the slip operates the input device 30 through this output button. An input signal is transmitted to the CPU 12. The CPU 12 prints a slip on paper by issuing a signal to a printer (not shown) connected to the computer apparatus 100 in response to the input signal.

(Step 8: Confirmation screen display)
When the slip is printed, the CPU 12 causes the monitor device 20 to display a slip issuance status confirmation screen (hereinafter referred to as “confirmation screen”) as shown in FIG.
This confirmation screen displays a list of articles that are published in “Weekly (not published due to violation of public order and morals) No. 11”, and the CPU 12 shades the article on which the slip has been issued, so And an article for which no other slip has been issued is displayed on the monitor device 20 so that the user can identify it.
In addition, for example, when two articles are published on one page for 0.5 pages each, and an order slip is issued on only one of them, the CPU 12 assumes that the color and type of shading on the confirmation screen are different. , For which content the slip has been issued is displayed in an identifiable manner. In addition, for example, when an article and an advertisement are posted on one page for 0.5 pages, the same display is performed.

As described above, according to the first embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.
(1) When a content is selected from the table 1, a slip image in which a slip description item of this content and data corresponding to this item are displayed together is created by the CPU 12 and displayed on the monitor device 20. It is possible to improve the efficiency of entering slips.
(2) When a voucher is created, a confirmation screen that allows confirmation of the voucher creation status is displayed. By checking this confirmation screen, the user can centrally manage the voucher creation status and the issue of the voucher is not completed. Etc. are prevented.

Next, a second embodiment of a printed matter production support system to which the present invention is applied will be described.
In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the part which performs the function similar to Example 1 mentioned above, and the overlapping description and drawing are abbreviate | omitted suitably.
In the system of the second embodiment, a table called “edit theme list” is displayed on the monitor device 20 instead of the table of the first embodiment, and a slip is issued based on the table.
FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an editing theme list.
The editing theme list displays a list of articles out of articles and advertisements that are contents of “Weekly (not published due to violation of public order and morals) No. 11”. The editing theme list includes a plurality of rectangular areas in the vertical direction (row direction) and the horizontal direction (column direction) of the display screen. This editing theme list is numbered by line and assigned article names. In the column direction, the name of the signature, the number of pages, the desk (responsible editor), the person in charge, etc. corresponding to these article names. It is displayed.

Also in the print creation support system of the second embodiment, a slip image as shown in FIG. 4 is created by selecting an area displaying the article name of an article to be issued a slip in the editing theme list as in the first embodiment. Is displayed on the monitor device 20.
The creation of the slip for the advertisement is prepared separately from the editing theme list and is performed based on an advertisement theme list (not shown) having the same configuration as the editing theme list.
Similarly to the first embodiment, the print creation support system according to the second embodiment also selects the content desired to be issued a slip from the editing theme list, and the CPU 12 holds the items described in the editing theme list and the database unit 13. Since the voucher is issued based on the data to be processed, the voucher issuing work can be made efficient.
