Description

  The present invention relates to an information processing device, an information processing method, and a printing system.

  In an information processing apparatus such as a personal computer, in order to suppress the cost of printing, the initial setting of the print setting of the printer driver may be set and operated at the lowest possible cost. For example, monochrome / 2 in 1 is set as the initial setting. Here, “2 in 1” is an aggregate printing in which a two-page original is reduced and printed on one sheet. Generally, an N-page original is reduced and printed on one sheet. By performing this aggregate printing, it is possible to save paper resources.

  When the size of the characters in the document is small or the figure is small compared to the initial settings of the print settings, the print settings may be changed so that the document is easy to see and printed. For example, by changing the print setting from the initial setting of monochrome / 2in1 to color / 1in1 and printing, it is possible to make the document difficult to see easily.

  However, if all pages of the document are printed with the changed print settings, even pages that are not difficult to read, that is, pages that are easy to see, are printed with the changed print settings, resulting in an extra printing cost. Although there is a function to specify print settings on a page-by-page basis, there is a problem that it takes time for the user to set print settings for each page.

  On the other hand, there is a technology that determines the page that is difficult to see using the document information such as the print rate of each page, the minimum font size, the difference between the background color and the character color, and determines the page to be enlarged without aggregation ( See, for example, Patent Document 1).

[Processing flow of client PC]
Subsequently, a flow of processing in the client PC 10 will be described. Hereinafter, a case where the moving speed of the line of sight is used as the line-of-sight information will be described as an example. Further, the property area of the document file itself or the document body is used as a storage destination (storing section) of the line-of-sight information. Table 1 shows an example of the print settings preset by the user.

  In Table 1, as a default print setting, the color setting specifies monochrome, and the paper size specifies A4. Further, as a setting for a page having an average line-of-sight movement speed of a predetermined speed or less, for example, 5 cm / s or less, the color setting specifies color and the paper size specifies A3.

(Processing flow of document viewing software)
First, the flow of processing of the document browsing software executed under the control of the control unit 11 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the processing flow of the document browsing software.

  The control unit 11 first activates the imaging unit 13 mounted on the client PC 10 (step S11), and then opens the document selected by the user (step S12). When the imaging unit 13 is activated, a face image of the user who is viewing the document on the display screen of the display unit 18 is captured, and the face image is stored in the storage unit 16. Then, the line-of-sight information detection unit 14 detects the line-of-sight information of the user based on the face image stored in the storage unit 16.

  Next, the control unit 11 determines whether or not the user has performed the document closing process (step S13), and if the user has not performed the document closing process (NO in S13), the number of pages being viewed. The (page number) and the current time are recorded in the storage unit 16 (step S14), and then the process returns to step S13. When the user performs the process of closing the document (YES in S13), the control unit 11 acquires the line-of-sight information detected by the line-of-sight information detection unit 14 (in this example, the moving speed of the line of sight) and the current time. (Step S15).

  Next, the control unit 11 acquires information on the moving speed of the line of sight of each browsed page from the data acquired in step S14 and the data acquired in step S15 (step S16), and acquires the acquired moving speed information. The document is saved in the document itself (step S17). In step S16, the average line-of-sight movement speed for each page in Table 2 is acquired as line-of-sight information.

(Processing flow of printer driver)
Next, the flow of processing of the printer driver that generates a print job, which is executed under the control of the control unit 11, will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the flow of processing of the printer driver that creates a print job.

  The control unit 11 acquires the preset information of the print settings set as shown in Table 1 (step S21), and then obtains the line-of-sight movement speed information for each page in Table 2 stored in the document in the process of step S17. It is acquired (step S22). Next, the control unit 11 determines the print setting for each page from the data acquired in step S21 and the data acquired in step S22. Table 3 shows the relationship between the average line-of-sight movement speed acquired from the document, the color setting, and the paper size.

  In Table 3, the average line-of-sight movement speed of the user on the third page is 4 (cm / s), which is 5 (cm / s) or less of the preset value (see Table 1), so the default setting is monochrome. The color setting is determined to be color, and the paper size (default setting is A4) is determined to be A3.

  Next, the control unit 11 generates a print job according to the print settings determined in step S23 (step S24), and then transmits the generated print job to the printing device 20 (step S15). In this way, by changing the print setting from the initial setting of monochrome / A4 to color / A3 and enlarging and printing, it is possible to print a document that is difficult to see easily.

  As is clear from the above description, the control unit 11 refers to the function of the setting unit that sets the print setting according to the line-of-sight information, the line-of-sight information for each page, and the print setting according to the line-of-sight information, It has a function of a job generation unit that generates a print job for which print settings are made for each. The same applies to the following embodiments.

  In the case where the above processing is performed by the printing system 100 according to the first embodiment, that is, the document file itself is used as the storage location of the line-of-sight information and the moving speed of the line-of-sight is used as the line-of-sight information of the user, the document browsing software and the printer driver Is an example of each processing of.

  If the user sets print settings according to the line-of-sight information in advance, the line-of-sight information at the time of browsing the document thereafter is automatically recorded in the document itself. Then, it becomes possible for the printer driver to acquire such information and automatically perform print setting for each page to generate a print job.

  As described above, when generating a print job in which print settings are made for each page, the line-of-sight information, which is the user's reaction when the user actually browses the document, is used to reduce the printing cost and reduce the printing cost. You can print only the pages that are really hard to see so that they are easy to see.

  When a user views a document on a display screen, the user's line-of-sight position generally moves from the upper line to the lower line along the arrangement direction of character information and the like. At this time, if there is a difficult-to-see portion, the user will stare at the difficult-to-see portion. Here, gazing at a difficult-to-see portion means that the movement of the user's line-of-sight position has stopped. Therefore, by using the line-of-sight movement speed as the user's line-of-sight information, when the line-of-sight movement speed falls below a predetermined speed, the movement of the user's line-of-sight position stops and the user gazes at a part that is difficult to see. You can identify pages that users find really difficult to see.

The (page number) and the current time are recorded in the storage unit 16 (step S34), and then the process returns to step S33. When the user performs the process of closing the document (YES in S33), the control unit 11 acquires the line-of-sight information detected by the line-of-sight information detection unit 14 (in this example, the moving speed of the line of sight) and the current time. (Step S35).

  Next, the control unit 11 acquires the information on the moving speed of the line of sight of each browsed page from the data acquired in step S34 and the data acquired in step S35 (step S36), and acquires the acquired moving speed information. The data is saved in the server 40 (step S37). In step S36, the average line-of-sight movement speed for each page in Table 4 is acquired as line-of-sight information.

  Table 4 exemplifies a case where the average value of the average line-of-sight movement speeds on the fourth page of three users A, B, and C is 4.3 (cm / s).

(Processing flow of printer driver)
Next, the flow of processing of the printer driver that generates a print job will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing the flow of processing of the printer driver that generates a print job. This processing is also executed under the control of the control unit 11 (see FIG. 2) in each of the client PCs 10_1, 10_2, 10_3, 10_4.

  The control unit 11 acquires the preset information of the print settings set as shown in Table 1 (step S41), and then stores the line-of-sight movement speed information for each page in Table 4 stored in the server 40 in the process of step S37. Is acquired (step S42). Next, the control unit 11 determines the print setting for each page from the data acquired in step S41 and the data acquired in step S42. Table 5 shows the relationship between the average line-of-sight movement speed, color setting, and paper size for each page uploaded on the server 40.

  In Table 5, for example, the average value of the average line-of-sight movement speeds on the fourth page of three users A, B, and C is 4.3 (cm / s), which is 5 (cm / cm) that is preset (see Table 1). s) or less, the color setting is determined to be color and the sheet size is determined to be A3.

  Next, the control unit 11 generates a print job according to the print settings determined in step S43 (step S44), and then transmits the generated print job to the printing device 20 (step S45). In this way, by changing the print setting from the initial setting of monochrome / A4 to color / A3 and enlarging and printing, it is possible to print a document that is difficult to see easily.

  In the case of the printing system 200 according to the second embodiment, that is, when the server 40 is used as the storage destination of the line-of-sight information and the moving speed of the line-of-sight is used as the line-of-sight information of the user, the above processing is performed by the document viewing software and the printer driver.

Is possible.

<Third Embodiment>
Like the first embodiment, the third embodiment is an example of a printing system (image forming system) in the case where there is one client PC. Therefore, the system configuration and the hardware configuration are the same as in the case of the first embodiment, and the description thereof will be omitted.

[Processing flow of client PC]
The flow of processing in the client PC 10 will be described. In the following, a case of using the moving distance of the line of sight as the line-of-sight information will be described as an example. Further, the local storage unit 17 is used as a storage destination (storing unit) of the line-of-sight information. Table 6 shows an example of the print settings preset by the user.

  In Table 6, as the default print settings, monochrome is specified for color setting, 2 in 1 is specified for page allocation, and color setting is for color and page allocation is for pages with a line-of-sight movement distance of a predetermined distance or more, for example, 300 cm or more. The case where 1 in 1 is designated is illustrated.

(Processing flow of document viewing software)
First, the flow of processing of the document browsing software executed under the control of the control unit 11 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing the processing flow of the document browsing software.

  The control unit 11 first activates the imaging unit 13 mounted on the client PC 10 (step S51), and then opens the document selected by the user (step S52). When the imaging unit 13 is activated, a face image of the user who is viewing the document on the display screen of the display unit 18 is captured, and the face image is stored in the storage unit 16. Then, the line-of-sight information detection unit 14 detects the line-of-sight information of the user based on the face image stored in the storage unit 16.

  Next, the control unit 11 determines whether the user has performed the document closing process (step S53). If the user has not performed the document closing process (NO in S53), the number of pages being viewed. The (page number) and the current time are recorded in the storage unit 16 (step S54), and then the process returns to step S13. When the user performs the process of closing the document (YES in S53), the control unit 11 acquires the line-of-sight information (in this example, the line-of-sight movement distance) detected by the line-of-sight information detection unit 14 and the current time information. (Step S55).

  Next, the control unit 11 acquires information on the moving distance of the line of sight of each viewed page from the data acquired in step S54 and the data acquired in step S55 (step S56), and stores the acquired information in the local storage. The data is stored in the section 17 (step S57). In step S56, the line-of-sight movement distance for each page in Table 7 is acquired as line-of-sight information.

(Processing flow of printer driver)
Next, the flow of processing of the printer driver that generates a print job, which is executed under the control of the control unit 11, will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing the flow of processing of the printer driver that generates a print job.

  The control unit 11 acquires the preset information of the print settings set as shown in Table 1 (step S61), and then moves the line of sight for each page in Table 7 stored in the local storage unit 17 in the process of step S57. Distance information is acquired (step S62). Next, the control unit 11 determines the print setting for each page from the data acquired in step S61 and the data acquired in step S62. Table 8 shows the relationship between the line-of-sight movement distance for each page acquired from the local storage unit 17, and the color setting and page allocation.

  In Table 8, the line-of-sight movement distance of the user on the third page is 340 (cm), which is 300 (cm) or more set in advance (see Table 6). Therefore, the default color setting is monochrome. And the page allocation (default setting is 2 in 1) is determined to be 1 in 1.

  Next, the control unit 11 generates a print job according to the print settings determined in step S63 (step S64), and then transmits the generated print job to the printing device 20 (step S65). In this way, by changing the print setting from the monochrome / 2in1 initial setting to the color / 1in1 and enlarging and printing, it is possible to print a document that is difficult to see easily.

  In the case where the above processing is performed by the printing system 100 according to the third embodiment, that is, the local storage unit 17 is used as the storage destination of the line-of-sight information and the moving distance of the line-of-sight is used as the line-of-sight information of the user, the document browsing software and the printer It is an example of each processing of the driver.

  If the user sets print settings according to the line-of-sight information in advance, the line-of-sight information at the time of browsing the document thereafter is automatically recorded in the document itself. Then, it becomes possible for the printer driver to acquire such information and automatically perform print setting for each page to generate a print job.

  As described above, when the print job in which the print setting is performed for each page is generated, the line-of-sight information, which is the reaction of the user when the user actually browses the document, is used. Similar actions and effects can be obtained.

  Here, when the user views the document on the display screen, for example, when the number of lines of the document is large and it is difficult to view, the user's line of sight moves many times. As a result, the moving distance of the user's line of sight per page is inevitably long. Therefore, by using the moving distance of the line of sight as the user's line-of-sight information, it is necessary to move the line of sight many times for browsing when the moving distance of the line of sight exceeds a predetermined distance, which is difficult to see. It can be determined that it is a page.
