<Character editing process>
Next, a description will be given of a process of performing character editing, which is one of editing processes.
FIG. 8 is a flowchart illustrating a character editing process in the character image processing system 100 according to the present embodiment.
FIG. 9 and FIG. 10 are diagrams showing display examples on the editing terminal 7 according to the present embodiment.
The character editing process described below is a process for newly arranging a character in the layout area 31 or correcting the arranged character.
In S30 of FIG. 8, the control unit 70 of the editing terminal 7 displays a character editing screen 32a in the editing area 32.
This process can be performed by the user selecting a “character” button 32x (see FIG. 7) arranged in the editing area 32 of the editing screen 30 when newly creating a character. When the user corrects a character already displayed in the layout area 31, the user can select an image of the character displayed in the layout area 31 of the edit screen 30 by the user. When the user corrects a character already displayed in the layout area 31, a character (text) included in the image of the selected character is displayed in the character input unit 32b (FIG. 9).

In the character editing screen 32a shown in FIG. 9, the user inputs a character in the character input section 32b (character input area) or edits an already input character, and operates the property setting section 32c (font designation area). To select a font, a character size and a character color, and the like. The user can select various fonts by selecting the font of the property setting unit 32c from the pull-down list.
When outputting the character editing screen 32a, the control unit 70 (the server communication unit 74) receives the set value of the font data from the Web server 5, and sets the available font in the property setting unit in a pull-down format based on the set value. 32c. Therefore, the font output to the property setting unit 32c can be specified even if the editing terminal 7 does not have the font.

In S31, the user operates the layout area 31 to specify the position and size of the character, and the control unit 70 (editing operation receiving unit 71) acquires the position and size of the character. The designation of the arrangement position and the size may be, for example, an operation of selecting a region by dragging with the input unit 86. When the character placement position and the size are designated, a character placement designation area 31a is displayed in the layout area 31 as shown in FIG.
In S32, the control unit 70 (the editing operation receiving unit 71, the server communication unit 74) sends the editing content data to the Web server 5 in response to receiving the selection of the “OK” button 32d of the character editing screen 32a. And the image ID. The editing content data includes text data input to the character input unit 32b, resolution designation data corresponding to the display magnification in the display magnification unit 33a, and an imaging instruction. The image ID is the image ID of the original image when the user corrects the already displayed characters. When a new character is created, an image ID that does not overlap is newly assigned.

On the other hand, in S40, when the control unit 50 of the Web server 5 receives the edit content data and the image ID, the control unit 50 (the image request data transmission unit 52) transmits the character image that can be processed by the character image processing server 1. The request data is transmitted to the character image processing server 1. The character image request data is XML format data.
In S41, when the control unit 10 (request data receiving unit 11) of the character image processing server 1 receives the character image request data, the control unit 10 (edit data generation unit 13) generates character image data. Specifically, the control unit 10 acquires, from the font DB 21, font data in which a text is designated as a specified font from the editing content data included in the character image request data. Then, the control unit 10 converts the acquired font data into an image to generate character image data. The character image data generated here is high-resolution image data.
In S42, the control unit 10 (low-resolution data generation unit 14) generates low-resolution image data in which the resolution of the generated character image data is reduced. Note that the image data generated by the control unit 10 in the processing of S41 and S42 is PNG format data.

In S43, the control unit 10 (data storage control unit 18) converts the image data of the resolution based on the resolution designation data included in the character image request data into a file server according to the designation of the output position included in the character image request data. 4 is stored.
In S44, the control unit 10 transmits the processing result data to the Web server 5. Thereafter, the control unit 10 ends the processing.
In S45, the control unit 50 of the Web server 5 receives the processing result data and transmits the processing result data to the editing terminal 7.

In S33, the control unit 70 (server communication unit 74) of the editing terminal 7 transmits image acquisition request data to the Web server 5 in response to receiving the processing result data.
In S46, the control unit 50 (edit screen data output unit 54) of the Web server 5 acquires character image data from the file server 4 in response to receiving the image acquisition request data, and outputs the character image data to the editing terminal 7. . After that, the control unit 50 ends this processing.
In S34, the control unit 70 (server communication unit 74, screen editing unit 73) of the editing terminal 7 outputs the character image data received from the Web server 5 to the arrangement position acquired in S31. After that, the control unit 70 ends this processing.
FIG. 10B shows the editing screen 30 after the character editing process has been performed. Character image data generated by the character image processing server 1 is added to the character arrangement designation area 31a.

  As described above, by inputting text and designating a font in the editing terminal 7, the character image processing server 1 generates character image data, so that character image data of various fonts can be generated. The font data of the font that can be specified only has to be in the character image processing server 1 and does not have to be in the editing terminal 7, so that the cost for the font can be suppressed.

  In the above description, in the editing terminal 7, after the control unit 70 receives the designation of the arrangement position, the editing content data is transmitted to the Web server 5. However, after transmitting the editing content data, the designation of the arrangement position may be received. By doing so, the web server 5 transmits the character image request data to the character image processing server 1 while the control unit 70 accepts the designation of the arrangement position, so that the character image processing server 1 Is generated, and processing for transmitting the processing result to the Web server 5 can be performed. Therefore, the character image data is generated while the user using the editing terminal 7 is specifying the arrangement position, so that the user can be kept from waiting for the image generation processing as much as possible, which is efficient. Processing can be performed.

  Further, since the editing terminal 7 has information on the arrangement position, for example, in the process of changing the arrangement position of the image, communication with the Web server 5 is not performed. Therefore, in the process of changing the arrangement position of the image, the editing terminal 7 may perform the process in the editing terminal 7, and does not need to transmit data to the web server 5 or the character image processing server 1. In the editing terminal 7, when the position of the image is moved while the character image data is selected, the position of the character image data can be moved. The information on the arrangement position is information including data on coordinates (X coordinate and Y coordinate) and data on size (width and height).

<Display magnification change processing>
Next, processing when the user changes the display magnification on the editing screen will be described.
FIG. 11 is a flowchart illustrating the display magnification changing process in the character image processing system 100 according to the present embodiment.
FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating a display example on the editing terminal 7 according to the present embodiment.
In S50 of FIG. 11, the control unit 70 (editing operation receiving unit 71) of the editing terminal 7 receives a change in display magnification. Specifically, the control unit 70 receives an operation of the display magnification unit 33a arranged in the header area 33 of the editing screen 30 shown in FIG.

  In S51, the control unit 70 (the image determination unit 72) refers to the image correspondence table 81 (FIG. 3B) to determine whether or not the image needs to be changed. The control unit 70 refers to the image correspondence table 81, and when the resolution of the image at the current display magnification and the resolution of the image at the changed display magnification are the same, it is not necessary to change the image. Judge that there is no. When the resolutions of the two images are different, the control unit 70 determines that the image needs to be changed. When the image needs to be changed (S51: YES), the control unit 70 shifts the processing to S52. On the other hand, when it is not necessary to change the image (S51: NO), the control unit 70 shifts the processing to S58.

In S52, the control unit 70 (server communication unit 74) of the editing terminal 7 transmits the image change request data to the Web server 5. The image change request data includes the image IDs of all the images displayed in the layout area 31 at the changed display magnification and the resolution designation data.
In S53, the control unit 50 of the Web server 5 receives the image change request data, and the control unit 50 (image request data transmission unit 52) transmits the designated image request data to the character image processing server 1. The designated image request data is data in XML format, and includes image IDs of all images displayed in the layout area 31 at the changed display magnification, resolution designation data, and designation of an output position.

In S54, the control unit 10 (request data receiving unit 11) of the character image processing server 1 receives the designated image request data, and the control unit 10 (image data extraction unit 15) performs the processing based on the image ID and the resolution designation data. Image data is extracted from the image DB 45.
In S55, the control unit 10 (data storage control unit 18) causes the file server 4 to store the generated image data in accordance with the designation of the output position included in the designated image request data.
In S56, the control unit 10 transmits the processing result data to the Web server 5. Thereafter, the control unit 10 ends the processing.
In S57, the control unit 50 of the Web server 5 receives the processing result data, acquires the image data from the file server 4, and outputs it to the editing terminal 7. After that, the control unit 50 ends this processing.

In S58, the control unit 70 (screen editing unit 73) of the editing terminal 7 changes the layout area 31 to the display magnification accepted in S50. At this time, when image data is received from the Web server 5, the image data having the same image ID is changed to the received image data and output. After that, the control unit 70 ends this processing.
FIG. 12B shows the editing screen 30 after the display magnification is changed. The images 31x, 31y, and 31z displayed in the layout area 31 are all changed to high-resolution image data. Therefore, a clear image can be displayed even when the display is enlarged.

  In S51 of FIG. 11, even when the control unit 70 of the editing terminal 7 determines that the change of the image is not necessary (S51: NO), the control unit 70 (the server communication unit 74) transmits the image request. Data may be transmitted to the Web server 5 in some cases. For example, a case in which the image data of all the images displayed in the layout area 31 at the changed display magnification is not one, such as a case where a reduced display is performed. In that case, the processing after S52 is the same as when it is determined that the image needs to be changed.

<Trimming process>
Next, a process performed when the user performs trimming on an image on the editing screen 30 will be described.
FIG. 13 is a flowchart illustrating a trimming process in the character image processing system 100 according to the present embodiment.
FIG. 14 is a diagram illustrating an example of image editing in the editing terminal 7 according to the present embodiment.
In S60 of FIG. 13, the control unit 70 (editing operation receiving unit 71) of the editing terminal 7 receives an image editing process.

Here, the image editing process will be described with reference to FIG.
FIG. 14A shows an image 40 displayed in the layout area 31. The user selects a cutout icon (not shown) on the image 40, and performs an operation of cutting out the region 40a which is a partial region. By doing so, the control unit 70 can cut out the image 41 shown in FIG.
Further, in a state where the user selects the image 41 so as to enlarge the image 41 shown in FIG. 14B, for example, by performing a drag and drop operation, the control unit 70 (the image determination unit 72) Accept the enlargement operation.

Returning to FIG. 13, in S61, the control unit 70 of the editing terminal 7 generates image editing request data. The control unit 70 acquires the image ID of the image 40 to be cut and the cut information. Further, the control unit 70 (image determination unit 72) calculates the display magnification of the image 41 and determines the resolution of the image with reference to the image correspondence table 81. Then, the control unit 70 generates image editing request data. The image editing request data includes the image ID of the original image, edited image content data including cut information, and resolution designation data.
In S62, the editing terminal 7 (server communication unit 74) transmits the image editing request data and the newly assigned image ID to the Web server 5.
In S63, the control unit 50 of the Web server 5 receives the image editing request data and the image ID, and the control unit 50 (image request data transmitting unit 52) transmits the designated image request data to the character image processing server 1. Send. The designated image request data is XML format data and includes an image ID, edited image content data, resolution designation data, and designation of an output position.

In S64, the control unit 10 (request data receiving unit 11) of the character image processing server 1 receives the designated image request data, and the control unit 10 (image data extraction unit 15) performs the processing based on the image ID and the resolution designation data. Image data is extracted from the image DB 45.
In S65, the control unit 10 (edit data generation unit 13) performs a trimming process on the extracted image data using the edited image content data.
In S66, the control unit 10 (data storage control unit 18) causes the file server 4 to store the edited image data after the trimming process according to the designation of the output position included in the designated image request data.
In S67, the control unit 10 transmits the processing result data to the Web server 5. Thereafter, the control unit 10 ends the processing.

In S68, the control unit 50 of the Web server 5 receives the processing result data, acquires the image data from the file server 4, and outputs it to the editing terminal 7. After that, the control unit 50 ends this processing.
In S69, the control unit 70 (server communication unit 74, screen editing unit 73) of the editing terminal 7 outputs the image data received from the Web server 5 to the layout area 31. After that, the control unit 70 ends this processing.
FIG. 14C shows an image 42 generated by the above-described trimming process. Since the image 42 is image data having a resolution corresponding to the display magnification of the image, a clear image can be displayed.

  When the user performs an editing operation using the editing screen 30, an appropriate operation is selected, so that the character editing process (FIG. 8), the display magnification changing process (FIG. 11), and the trimming process are performed. (FIG. 13) are executed. In addition, when the user performs editing work using the edit screen 30, in addition to the above-described processing, cassette data and image data usable by the editing terminal 7 are obtained from the file server 4 and output. Processing is also performed appropriately.

Next, a process when the user instructs creation of print data on the editing screen 30 will be described.
FIG. 15 is a flowchart illustrating print data generation processing in the character image processing system 100 according to the present embodiment.
In S80, the control unit 70 (editing operation receiving unit 71) of the editing terminal 7 receives an instruction to create print data. Specifically, when the user selects the end button 33b (see FIG. 7) of the header area 33 on the editing screen 30, the control unit 70 displays an inquiry screen (not shown) regarding whether or not print data is created. Therefore, when the user selects to create print data, the control unit 70 receives a print data creation instruction. The creation instruction is an operation finally performed by the user after the user performs an editing operation using the editing screen 30.
In S81, the control unit 70 (server communication unit 74) transmits print generation request data to the Web server 5. The print generation request data is data for requesting the generation of print data, and includes design data relating to the design of the printed matter edited on the editing screen 30 and a printed matter creation instruction.

In S82, the control unit 50 (image request data transmission unit 52) of the Web server 5 transmits the print request data to the character image processing server 1. The print request data is data in XML format, and includes designation of an output position in addition to the above-described design data and a print product creation instruction.
In S83, the control unit 10 (request data receiving unit 11) of the character image processing server 1 receives the print request data, and the control unit 10 (print data generation unit 16) generates print data. Since the print data is data used in the printer 3, the control unit 10 generates each image included in the design data using the high-resolution image data. Further, the control unit 10 converts the print data into PDF format data.
In S84, the control unit 10 (data storage control unit 18) causes the file server 4 to store the generated print data in accordance with the designation of the output position included in the designated image request data.
In S85, the control unit 10 transmits the processing result data to the Web server 5. Thereafter, the control unit 10 ends the processing.
In S86, the control unit 50 of the Web server 5 receives the processing result data and outputs the processing result to the editing terminal 7. After that, the control unit 50 ends this processing.
In S87, the control unit 70 of the editing terminal 7 displays the processing result on the display unit 85. After that, the control unit 70 ends this processing.

  When the printer 3 performs print processing using the print data, for example, the printer 3 accesses the file server 4, obtains the print data stored in the designated folder, and performs printing. Good. By doing so, the printer 3 can print a high-resolution beautiful printed matter.

Next, an image generation process performed by the character image processing server 1 will be described.
FIG. 16 is a flowchart illustrating an image generation process in the character image processing server 1 according to the present embodiment.
This processing is performed to complement the image data when only one of the high-resolution image data and the low-resolution image data is stored in the image DB 45. Then, this processing is appropriately executed, for example, when the processing of the character image processing server 1 is idle.

In S90, the control unit 10 of the character image processing server 1 searches the image DB 45.
In S91, the control unit 10 determines whether there is an image that has not been generated. Specifically, the control unit 10 determines whether or not both high-resolution image data and low-resolution image data are stored for each image ID included in the image DB 45, and there is an image that has not been generated. It is determined whether or not. In the above-described trimming process (FIG. 13), image data of a resolution to be used is generated and stored in the image DB 45, so that only one of the high-resolution image and the low-resolution image may be stored. Even when cassette data and image data are newly stored in the image DB 45, only high-resolution images are stored. When it is determined that there is an image that has not been generated (S91: YES), the control unit 10 shifts the processing to S92. On the other hand, when it is determined that there is no image that has not been generated (S91: NO), the control unit 10 ends this processing.

In S92, the control unit 10 generates image data of a resolution that has not been generated. If the image data generated by the above-described trimming process (FIG. 13) is a low-resolution image, the control unit 10 generates high-resolution image data using the edited image content data. When new cassette data or image data is stored in the image DB 45, the control unit 10 (the low-resolution data generation unit 14) coarsens the resolution of the high-resolution image data and sets the low-resolution image data. Generate data.
In S93, the control unit 10 stores the generated image data of the resolution in the image DB 45 corresponding to the image ID. Thereafter, the control unit 10 ends the processing.

  As described above, by generating image data during the time when the resources (CPU and the like) of the character image processing server 1 are free, the image DB 45 can store the high-resolution image data and the low-resolution image data. it can. Therefore, in the editing process in the editing terminal 7, image data corresponding to the display magnification can be output with high response.

As described above, according to the character image processing system 100 of the present embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.
(1) The character image processing server 1 generates character image data using various types of font data possessed by the character image processing server 1, so that the editing terminal 7 does not have various types of font data. Do it. Therefore, it is possible to eliminate the need for the character image processing server 1 or the like to transmit font data to the editing terminal 7 or to store font data in the editing terminal 7.
In the character image processing server 1, the font data can be centrally managed, and can be realized at low cost.
The character image processing server 1 stores the generated image data in the file server 4 accessible by the Web server 5, so that the editing terminal 7 can use the image data via the Web server 5.
Since the character image processing server 1 converts the text data into image data, the editing terminal 7 may display the image data. Therefore, the processing in the editing terminal 7 can be simplified such that image data is displayed.

(2) Since the request data transmitted from the Web server 5 to the character image processing server 1 is data in XML format, information for processing by the character image processing server 1 can be directly described.
Further, since the storage position in the file server 4 is specified in the request data, the character image processing server 1 can store the generated image data in the specified position in the file server 4.
(3) By instructing creation of a printed matter from the editing terminal 7, the character image processing server 1 generates print data and sends the print data to the file server 4 connected to the printer 3 via the communication network N1. Can output.
Therefore, a printed matter having the layout edited by the editing terminal 7 can be created by using the printer 3 that performs commercial printing, so that a high-resolution printed matter can be created.
Further, the character image processing server 1 can create a printed matter in which an image corresponding to the same arrangement position as the image data displayed in the layout area 31 of the editing screen 30 is arranged, so that the character image processing server 1 can create the printed matter according to the editing screen.
Further, since the generated print data is stored in the file server 4, the print data can be referred to from the editing terminal 7 via the Web server 5. Therefore, the user can confirm the contents of the printed matter actually created.

(4) Since the character image processing server 1 and the Web server 5 are provided, processing can be distributed.
For example, the web server 5 mediates editing screen data output to the editing terminal 7, and the character image processing server 1 can specialize in processing related to generation such as generation of image data and print data.
(5) Since the editing terminal 7 has data on the layout position in the layout area 31, the editing terminal 7 can output the image data generated by the character image processing server 1 to the designated position in the layout area 31 based on the data on the layout position.
(6) The selection of the font to be output on the editing screen 30 of the editing terminal 7 can be made to correspond to the character font data stored in the font DB 21 of the character image processing server 1. Further, selection of a font to be output on the editing screen 30 of the editing terminal 7 can be changed for each user who uses the editing terminal 7.

(7) The character image processing server 1 causes the file server 4 to store the image data in response to the request including the image ID and the resolution designation data from the editing terminal 7. Therefore, the editing terminal 7 can display an image having a resolution suitable for the display mode.
Since the editing terminal 7 requests an image having a resolution suitable for the display mode, the character image processing server 1 only needs to transmit an image corresponding to the display mode on the editing terminal 7, and always transmits a high-resolution image. Nothing. Therefore, the communication speed and the display processing speed can be improved.
(8) By storing the high-resolution image to be printed on the image DB 45 in the image DB 45, the character image processing server 1 allows the character image processing server 1 to lower the resolution from the data used to create the high-resolution image data. Data can be generated and stored in the image DB 45. Therefore, image data having a resolution suitable for the display mode of the editing terminal 7 can be always displayed.
(9) When receiving the request data including the edited image content data, the character image processing server 1 generates the image data of the specified resolution and stores it in the file server 4. Therefore, the image data generated based on the edited image content data can have a resolution that can be easily viewed on the editing terminal 7.

(10) In response to the determination by the image determination unit 72, the editing terminal 7 requests image data having a resolution corresponding to the display mode, and outputs the requested image data to the editing screen. Therefore, the image displayed on the editing screen can be made to correspond to the display mode.
When the image needs to be updated depending on the display magnification, the editing terminal 7 requests the character image processing server 1 for the image data via the Web server 5. Does not request the character image processing server 1. Therefore, communication between the web server 5 or the character image processing server 1 and the editing terminal 7 can be suppressed.
(11) When trimming is performed by the editing terminal 7, image request data including edited image content data and resolution designation data corresponding to the display magnification of the image data is transmitted. By doing so, the character image processing server 1 can generate image data having a resolution suitable for trimming and display.
