Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to composition method and type-setting equipment, the equipment that relates in particular to for the method that object to be processed is set type and be used for object to be processed is set type.Described composition method and type-setting equipment can be used to the various fields such as printing, cutting and packing etc.
Background technology
Current, no matter be to work or in daily life, can use the various printers such as laser printer, ink-jet printer and stylus printer etc.
And the printing demand is of all kinds, and the printing demand comprises the demand relevant with printer parameter and/or user's request.Printer parameter can refer to such as type of printer, printer paper type, printer paper size, overlay film pattern, print speed, printing precision, single face printing or duplex printing, type fount etc., but printer parameter be not limited to above-described these.User's request comprises user preference, for example, some users may prefer to use the duplex printing pattern with the economical with materials sheet material, and some users may be intended for its photo overlay film, also have some users may prefer to use the printer of idle condition to save time, and some users be ready its nearer printer of service range and not tape/tube printer be in idle condition or busy condition, perhaps, even some users may preferences use the printer of particular types.
Composing is to print important step before, and setting type means according to some rule various (text and image etc.) piece to be placed on the material sheet.
About supporting the printer of different printer parameters, different for the composing the possibility of result of same material (that is, piece), therefore, the waste area among the different composing results may be different, as shown in Figure 1.A purpose of setting type is cut the waste area and saving print paper (that is, material sheet).
Particularly, for example, although some users have clear and definite and concrete printing demand, other users may not have clear and definite and concrete printing demand (below be also referred to as " variable demand "), and they just hope that printing them wants the material (text or image etc.) printed.For example, with regard to dissimilar printers, some in these printers do not have the ability of overlay film, and other have the ability of different overlay films.Therefore, when setting type, the material that does not have the user of clear and definite demand to want to print for the ability of overlay film can be assigned to any in the above-mentioned printer.Like this, may generate for a lot of different combination of different printers the material of the user with clear and definite demand and do not have the user's of clear and definite demand the composing result of material.Therefore, the user for example may wish to use the cheaply composing result who satisfies simultaneously above-mentioned clear and definite demand.
Documents 1 (JP 2009-104454) discloses a kind of print job processing method for the print processing processor.The detailed operation flow process of disclosed method as shown in Figure 2.
Documents 2 (US 2009/0027728) discloses a kind of method for the document with variable attribute being carried out the optimization composing.Disclosed method is carried out processing that the document with same number of pages is divided into groups checking in the situation of number of pages, and each group is set type, but the method does not change the attribute of document so that these documents are classified into other groups.
Documents 3 (US 2007/0253029) discloses a kind of method of control information treatment facility, and this messaging device generates print data with layout on a printed sheets and prints a plurality of operations.Disclosed method is carried out the composing of a plurality of layouts and the composing of the layout that execution has top score, but the method does not have the open processing that document is divided into groups.
Prior art above-mentioned does not have open demand how to process different user, variable demand especially, however may spend different costs such as the different printer parameter of printer paper type and overlay film pattern.That is to say that prior art above-mentioned does not have to consider how to minimize the cost of print job when processing various printing demand,, how to maximize the utilization factor of print resource that is.
In addition, about setting type, also there are relevant with the post-processed afterwards of setting type some other demands that should be processed, such as how processing the composing/print result that also needs further processing (for example, cold overlay film and/or cutting etc.).
In any case, from the viewpoint of cost, the waste that desirable composition method can minimum material sheet material (for example, printer paper); From the viewpoint of efficient, desirable composition method does not rely on artificial interference, and uses the less time.But current composition method is nearly all unsatisfactory.
Although should be noted that and will describe the present invention based on print publishing, obviously the present invention is also applicable to such as the composing in other various fields of cutting and packing etc.

Definition and description
Below, before describing in detail according to composition method of the present invention and type-setting equipment, will introduce first some definition of using in the present invention.
As previously mentioned, term " composing " means according to some rule various to be placed on the material sheet.More specifically, term " composing " means to receive the rectangle original block of a plurality of inputs or the original block of the non-rectangle that can be surrounded by rectangular shape, according to some Design with Rule layout so that all original blocks can be placed on the material sheet.
Here, material sheet is the rectangle with fixed width (size of horizontal alignment is also referred to as width) and variable-length (vertical orientated size is also referred to as height), as shown in Figure 4.
For composing some demands known to persons of ordinary skill in the art are arranged.For example, do not allow the overlapping of rectangular block.In addition, do not allow the inclination of rectangular block.
In the present invention, (for example, set type/print) to be processed object can be relevant with print job.For example, can be with the print job of object representative of consumer to be processed.In addition, object to be processed can be text or image etc., and they can have rectangular shape or have the non-rectangular shape that can be surrounded by rectangular shape, as shown in Figure 5.Particularly, in Fig. 5, shape R1 is rectangle, and shape S2 is hexagon, in this case, before setting type, can surround this non-rectangular shape S2 with rectangular shape R2.Here, hexagonal shape S2 only is exemplary example, and the present invention just is not limited to the such shape of use.In fact, in the present invention, non-rectangular shape can be shape arbitrarily, as long as it can be surrounded by rectangular shape.In addition, the rectangular shape that is used for the encirclement non-rectangular shape that will use in the present invention can be the rectangular shape size minimum of surrounding this non-rectangular shape, perhaps also can be larger than the rectangular shape of this size minimum.That is to say that the size of the rectangular shape that is used for the encirclement non-rectangular shape that will use in the present invention is not limited.
In addition, an object to be processed can comprise one or more object pages or leaves that its attribute is same to each other or different to each other.For example, in the routine work environment, an object to be processed can be document or image, and this object may comprise one or more documents or image (that is, object page or leaf).The attribute of described document or image can be identical or different.The object of processing (for example, setting type) can be relevant with demand (for example, will printing document or the image of what size) with the staff's who sends processing instruction information (for example, the description of document or image), but be not limited to these.Again for example, for print shop, object to be processed can be photo, and object to be processed may comprise one or more photo (that is, object page or leaf).The attribute of photo can be identical or different.Particularly, for example, to be processed object relevant with photograph album can comprise page or leaf in two front cover faces and ten, and cover page is different with printing demand or the attribute of interior page or leaf, and the attribute in the attribute of described two cover pages or described ten page can be identical.The object of processing (for example, set type) can be relevant with demand (for example, will print the photo of what size) with the client's of print shop information (for example, the description of photo), still is not limited to these.
But, note that object to be processed is not limited to these exemplary examples, but can be any object that can be set type or print.
In addition, in the present invention, will use term " collection of setting type ".The object classification that will process with the collection of setting type arrives different groups.The collection of setting type has the attribute relevant with printer parameter, such as printer paper size, printer paper type, overlay film pattern etc.Such attribute is will be used to and want the criterion of the corresponding attributes match of processed object.
Particularly, the collection of setting type is relevant with whole parameters or the partial parameters of a printer, and is perhaps relevant with the part of the common parameter of a plurality of printers or described common parameter.Here, as mentioned above, printer parameter can refer to such as type of printer, printer paper type, printer paper size, overlay film pattern, print speed, printing precision, single face printing or duplex printing, type fount etc.Conversely, if printer can be supported several functions, for example, single face is printed and duplex printing, the printer paper sizes such as A3, A4, B4, and this printer can be answered with a plurality of composing set pairs so.Fig. 6 A and Fig. 6 B represent respectively the exemplary corresponding relation between one or more composing collection and the one or more printer.A concrete example will be enumerated in the back.
In the table 1 below, show the example of four set type collection P1, P2, P3, P4, wherein, described composing collection comprises the attribute relevant with printer parameter, such as type of printer, printer paper type, overlay film pattern, overlay film cost, printable width, printable height, horizontal clearance, down suction etc.In addition, they can further comprise printer paper cost rate, post-processed manual working cost rate etc.Here, the printer paper cost rate can be considered to the printer paper cost of unit area (being every square millimeter in this illustrative example), but it is not limited to such definition.Post-processed manual working cost rate is relevant with the post-processed after setting type, such as, how to process the composing/print result such as the further processing that also needs cold overlay film and/or cutting etc., and it can be considered to process the required cost of page or leaf of setting type.But post-processed manual working cost rate is not limited to such definition.
Table 1
In the table 2 below, four printers and several parameter thereof have been provided.Based on correspondence/parameter of coupling, can find out that printer 1 and 2 can be corresponding to the collection P1 that sets type, printer 3 can be corresponding to collection P2 and the P4 of setting type, printer 4 can be corresponding to the collection P3 that sets type.Therefore, as mentioned above, the collection of setting type can be corresponding to one or more printers, and printer can be corresponding to one or more composing collection, and the corresponding relation between collection and the printer of setting type depends on their parameter.
Table 2
The page or leaf of setting type is preserved the information that is used for the composing collection of object page or leaf grouping, and it also preserves the object page or leaf that belongs to different objects and the positional information of object page or leaf.
Be used for to the composing set attribute of the collection ordering of setting type relevant with the calculating of the score of the page or leaf of setting type.When calculating the score of the page or leaf of setting type, cost is the key factor that will consider.For example, the attribute relevant with cost of composing collection is printer paper type, overlay film pattern and/or post-processed manual working demand etc.When arranging a plurality of composing collection (will be described in the back), for example, the composing collection that value at cost is lower can be come the front.
As mentioned above, some users are for object to be processed, particularly, may there be clear and definite and concrete printing demand for the document in the described object or image, that is to say that they may be indifferent to what printer paper type of use or overlay film pattern, whether will use overlay film etc.Therefore, have some documents or image in object, its attribute (printing demand), can be changed (that is, being variable) such as printer paper type, overlay film pattern.Disclosed such as documents 1, print job can be classified based on the collection of setting type.Then, the document in the print job or image can be based on being classified in groups with the composing collection of printing demand or its attributes match.But documents 1 and other prior aries are all less than special object of considering to have variable demand or attribute.In the present invention, consider that document or image that these have variable demand or attribute can be classified into the different group of answering from different composing set pairs, and (each classification/grouping is corresponding to one that is formed by a plurality of composing collection collection sequence of setting type from those the different groups corresponding to different composing collection for different classification (grouping) thus, different classification/grouping is corresponding to different composing collection sequences thus) the composing page or leaf that generates is different, and can draw to draw a conclusion: different composing results' cost may be different.Therefore, in order to realize least cost, should attempt based on different composing collection sequences document or the image that these have variable demand being divided into groups.By the composing result of the relatively different collection sequences of setting type, can select to have among these composings result the composing result of least cost.
The below uses description to the object lesson how example divides into groups to object to be processed.
Suppose as shown in table 1ly, have four collection of setting type, and as shown in table 3 below, there are four objects to be processed.
Table 3
Note that in above-mentioned example, about printer parameter " overlay film pattern ", " not overlay film " refers to printer self and do not support overlay film, in this case, the document of printing or image can be by overlay films after printing, and this relates to post-processed manual working cost.In addition, " cold overlay film " refers to printer self and supports " cold overlay film ".Therefore, with regard to object 1, about printer parameter " printer paper type " and " overlay film pattern ", at first, its cover page can fall into P4.But even cover page does not need overlay film, they are carried out extra cold overlay film will be so that the user be glad.That is to say that its cover page also can fall into P3.About printer parameter " width/" and " printer paper type ", the interior page or leaf of object 1 can fall into P2.In addition, because can be by turning 90 degrees or 270 degree come they are set type direction is counter, therefore, they also can fall into P1.The mode that is used for other three objects are divided into groups will be omitted its details with similar for the mode that object 1 is divided into groups.
Then, with the relation between the object of enumerating after another example comes example composing collection sequence and grouping.Same supposition exists four set type collection P1, P2, P3, P4, and supposition exists four object O1 to be processed, O2, O3, O4.As mentioned above, some documents in the object or image may have variable/uncertain demand, such as the object page or leaf in the object 3.That is to say that the object page or leaf in this object can be grouped into different composing collection (in the above example, they can be grouped into P1, P2, P3, P4).Although as described above, the object page or leaf in object to be processed can be grouped into different composing collection, and for simplified characterization, this paper supposes that all the object pages or leaves in the object are grouped into the collection of setting type at every turn.Here, the variable/indefinite demand of supposing that further object O3 and O4 have.Particularly, suppose as follows.
O1: can be grouped into P1.
O2: can be grouped into P2.
O3: can be grouped into P1 and P2.
O4: can be grouped into P3 and P4.
To come one by one with Object group according to the order of the composing collection in the collection sequence of setting type.
For example, if use order P1 → P2 → P3 → P4 (that is, one of the collection sequence of setting type) comes object of classification, carry out so following steps.
1) object O1, the O2, O3 and the O4 that at first, classify all with P1.The result is that O1 and O3 will be grouped into the P1 group.
2) then, with the P2 remaining object of classifying, i.e. O2 and O4 (because O1 and O3 have been grouped into the P1 group, so can not again divide into groups to them).The result is that O2 will be grouped into the P2 group.
3) then, with P3 classify remaining object, i.e. O4.The result is that O4 will be grouped into the P3 group.
4) after above-mentioned three steps, there is not remaining object, this grouping process finishes thus.The group result of following table 4 these four objects of expression.
Table 4
| P1 | P2 | P3 | P4 |
| O1，O3 | O2 | O4 |
For another example, P2 → P1 → P3 → P4 (that is, another collection sequence of setting type) comes object of classification if make in differing order, then similarly, will obtain the result shown in the following table 5.
Table 5
| P1 | P2 | P3 | P4 |
| O1 | O2，O3 | O4 |
Can be found out that by top different composing collection sequences can cause different group result.Therefore, with different composing collection sequences object to be processed is set type and to cause different composing results.Different composing results then mean different costs.As shown in Figure 1, the composing result in left side wastes more material sheet than the composing result on right side.In this case, the composing the possibility of result on right side has lower cost.
Based on top technological thought, the present inventor has proposed the present invention, aims to provide for by generating corresponding to the different group of different composing collection sequences object to be processed being carried out the method and apparatus of repeatedly setting type and then selecting required result from the composing result.Below, will describe exemplary embodiment in detail.
The first embodiment
Below, with reference to Fig. 7 general process according to composition method of the present invention is described.
Fig. 7 is that expression realizes the process flow diagram according to the exemplary general process of composition method of the present invention.
In step 701, formed the composing collection sequence that differs from one another by a plurality of composing collection, and the arrangement of the collection sequence that can obtain thus setting type, wherein, each composing energy collecting reaches all or part of parameter with a printer, perhaps the part with the common parameter of a plurality of printers or described common parameter is relevant, as described above.And each printer can be corresponding to one or more composing collection.
In step 702, from the arrangement of the collection sequence of setting type, select the collection sequence of setting type, and based on this selected composing collection sequence, object to be processed will be grouped into correspondence in the selected composing collection sequence collection of setting type, as about described in the example of table 4 and 5.
In step 703, determine whether it is last collection sequence of setting type of described arrangement.If not last collection sequence of setting type of described arrangement, then return step 702 from the described arrangement of the collection sequence of setting type, continuing to select other composing collection sequence, and the Object group that will process.But, the collection sequence if last of described arrangement set type, then this process enters into step 704.
In step 704, for each grouping, the object after the grouping is set type, and with based on calculating each score in the selected composing collection sequence with the relevant one or more predetermined parameter of composing result of expectation.
In step 705, the composing result corresponding with the highest composing collection sequence of score is confirmed as the final composing result of object to be processed.Then, this process finishes.
Then, with being shown, explains according to above-mentioned composition method of the present invention concrete example.
Particularly, for example, suppose to have three different composing collection P1, P2 and P3, these collection of setting type are had any different each other according to its attribute, and for simplified characterization, suppose that also three set type collection P1, P2, P3 correspond respectively to three printers, i.e. printer 1, printer 2, printer 3.In addition, for the purpose of concise and to the point, will only describe and calculate relevant described three the set type parameter of collection and the parameters of printer below, and will omit other detail parameters.
In addition, suppose to have two objects to be processed, namely, O1, O2, and object O1 comprises 3 photos of the size that all has A3 paper, and object O2 comprises 12 photos of the size that all has 200mm*150mm, wherein, O1 can be grouped into P1 and P3, and O2 can be grouped into P2 and P3.That is to say that following corresponding relation is set up.
O1：P1，P3；
O2：P2，P3。
According to step 701, can obtain a lot of composing collection sequences of these three set type collection P1, P2 and P3.In this step, the collection sequence of setting type can be formed disorderly, thus, may have the sequence of repetition.Therefore, only stay the composing collection sequence that differs from one another.According to those remaining composing collection sequences, can obtain their a lot of arrangements.But, will only use an arrangement here, and the arrangement that will use can be any one in all arranging.
Particularly, all composings with P1, P2 and P3 collect sequences below.
P1→P2→P3；
P1→P3→P2；
P2→P1→P3；
P2→P3→P1；
P3→P1→P2；
P3→P2→P1。
Then, can obtain their arrangement.Here, for for example, suppose the arrangement below using.
1)P1→P2→P3；
2)P2→P1→P3；
3)P1→P3→P2；
4)P2→P3→P1；
5)P3→P1→P2；
6)P3→P2→P1。
Then, according to step 702, at first, select the collection sequence of setting type.For example, select first collection sequence of setting type (P1 → P2 → P3).Then, based on selected composing collection sequence, object O1 and O2 are categorized into corresponding composing collection.Therefore, at first, about P1, only O1 can be classified into it.Then, about P2, O2 can be classified into it.Therefore, the result after the grouping will be O1:P1, O2:P2.
Then, according to step 703, determine whether it is last collection sequence of setting type in this arrangement.If so, then this process enters step 704.If not, then this process is returned step 702, in order to select another the collection sequence of setting type in this arrangement, and with the composing collection of object classification to correspondence.
All collection sequences of setting type about in this arrangement obtain following group result.
1)P1：O1→P2：O2；
2)P2：O2→P1：O1；
3)P1：O1→P3：O2；
4)P2：O2→P3：O1；
5)P3：O1，O2；
6)P3：O1，O2。
Then, according to step 704, carry out the composing of group result, and then calculate the score of each the collection sequence of setting type in the selected composing collection sequence, as hereinafter described.
Below, with the calculating operation of giving an example to explain in the superincumbent step 704.The printer paper cost rate (as mentioned above) of supposing these three set type collection P1, P2 and P3 is respectively 15 (for example, corresponding to printer 1; Printer paper size: A3, i.e. 420mm*297mm; Common paper), 20 (for example, corresponding to printer 2 printer paper type:; Printer paper size: A4, i.e. 210mm*297mm; Printing paper), 30 (for example, corresponding to printer 3 printer paper type:; Printer paper size: 610mm*3200mm; Printer paper type: inferior light; Overlay film pattern: cold overlay film).That is to say that according to their printer paper cost rate, these three the putting in order of collection of setting type are P1 → P2 → P3.Usually, in routine work or life, considering that the user sequentially comes print object according to this usually in the situation of saving the printer paper cost.But, according to the present invention, can obtain having the different result of least cost.
Now, will provide according to exemplary computing method of the present invention.That is, use following formula 1) calculate the cost of each page or leaf of setting type.
The page or leaf of setting type gets score value=used printer paper size of (printer paper cost rate) *
.... formula 1)
Here, used printer paper size refers to the actual printer paper size that will use when printing.Take A4 paper as example, even be of a size of the part that the photo of 200mm*150mm only takies an A4 paper (being of a size of 210mm*297mm), also do not allow at two such photos of an A4 paper composing, and A4 paper can not cut.Therefore, about 12 such photos in the object 2, in order to set type and to print these photos, will use 12 A4 paper.In addition, again with can be (namely along its length, the coil paper that vertically) is cut is example, as shown in Figure 1, about 5 measure-alike photos, for width be the used printer paper size of the coil paper of 432mm (namely, corresponding to the composing result in Fig. 1 left side) be approximately 432mm* (127+127+vg) mm (here, vg represents the down suction between the two row photos), and be that the used printer paper size (that is, corresponding to the composing result in Fig. 1 right side) of coil paper of 610mm is approximately 610mm*127mm for width.
Then, can be by following formula 2) calculate each collection of setting type score value.
Composing collects to get score value=sum (page or leaf of setting type gets score value)
.... formula 2)
Then, can be by following formula 3) calculate each collection sequence of setting type score value.
The collection sequence of setting type score value=sum (composing collects to get score value)
.... formula 3)
The below will provide detailed explanation.About top group 1), at first, consider the first collection P1 that sets type of first among collection sequence P1 → P2 → P3 that sets type, has three same composing pages or leaves, and each is set type and page will in fact use an A3 paper.Thus, each page or leaf of setting type of P1 must can be calculated as the used printer paper size=15*297mm*420mm=1 of (printer paper cost rate) *, 871,100 by score value, and, set type integrate P1 score value as sum (page or leaf of setting type gets score value)=1,871,100*3=5,613,300.
Secondly, consider the first collection P2 that sets type of second among collection sequence P1 → P2 → P3 that sets type, has 12 same composing pages or leaves, and each page or leaf of setting type is with A4 paper of reality use.Thus, each page or leaf of setting type of P2 must can be calculated as the used printer paper size=20*297mm*210mm=1 of (printer paper cost rate) *, 247,400 by score value, and, set type integrate P2 score value as sum (page or leaf of setting type gets score value)=1,247,400*12=14,968,800.
Therefore, first set type collection sequence P1 → P2 → P3 score value=sum (composing collects to get score value)=5,613,300+14,968,800=20,582,100.
Then, about above-mentioned group 2), second set type collection sequence P2 → P1 → P3 score value and first set type the collection sequence to get score value identical.
About above-mentioned group 3), the score value that gets of the collection P1 that sets type has been calculated as 5,613,300, as mentioned above.About the collection P3 that sets type, an exemplary composing result will be shown in Fig. 8 A.Suppose that the horizontal clearance between the photo is 2mm, and the down suction between the photo is 2mm.Then, the page or leaf of setting type score value be used printer paper size=30*610mm* (150*4+3*2) mm=11 of (printer paper cost rate) *, 089,800, and, set type integrate P3 score value as sum (page or leaf of setting type gets score value)=11,089,800.
Therefore, the 3rd set type collection sequence P1 → P3 → P2 score value=sum (composing collects to get score value)=5,613,300+11,089,800=16,703,100.
About above-mentioned group 4), the score value that gets of the collection P2 that sets type has been calculated as 14,968,800, as mentioned above.
About the collection P3 that sets type, an exemplary composing result will be shown in Fig. 8 B.The size that photo with A3 paper size (420mm*297mm) may actually use 610mm*297mm (as mentioned above, the printer paper that collects P3 of setting type is of a size of 610mm*3200mm), because coil paper can only vertically be cut, and can not flatly be cut.Suppose that the horizontal clearance between the photo is 2mm, and the down suction between the photo is 2mm.Then, the page or leaf of setting type score value paper size=30*610mm* (297*3+2*2) mm=16 that will use for (printer paper cost rate) *, 378,500, and, set type integrate P3 score value as sum (page or leaf of setting type gets score value)=16,378,500.
Therefore, the 4th set type collection sequence P2 → P3 → P1 score value=sum (composing collects to get score value)=14,968,800+16,378,500=31,347,300.
Then, about above-mentioned group 5) and 6), the 5th and the 6th set type collection sequence P3 → P1 → P2 and P3 → P2 → P1 score value is identical.Particularly, they score value can be calculated as the collection P3 that sets type score value, that is, sum (page or leaf of setting type score value)=30*610mm*[(297*3+2*2)+(150*4+3*2)+2] mm=27,504,900.
Then, according to step 705, determine final composing result based on the score of the composing collection sequence in resulting this arrangement.Therefore, the collection sequences of relatively all setting type score value, and this shows the 3rd set type collection sequence P1 → P3 → P2 score value is minimum.Therefore, the 3rd composing result who sets type collection sequence P1 → P3 → P2 can be confirmed as the result that finally sets type.
As from the foregoing, by the resulting result of the method according to this invention with by usually (that is, to carry out the resulting result of classic method of composing different widely for P1 → P2 → P3) according to the size order of printer paper cost rate.Also can find out, only use the classic method of size order of printer paper cost rate a bit unreasonable.
In addition, aforesaid step shown in Figure 7 only is exemplary, is used for carrying out the step of composition method of the present invention and specifically sequentially is not limited to these.
In addition, about carry out the situation of printing with coil paper, for dissimilar coil papers, the composing the possibility of result is different.Now, there are various types of coil papers.For example, suppose with two types coil paper and carry out printing, as shown in the illustrative example of Fig. 1.As seen from Figure 1, although set type be measure-alike, that quantity is identical photo (namely, be of a size of 5 photos of 90mm*127mm), but the composing result with respect to these two kinds of dissimilar coil papers is different, that is to say, have the composing result of lower cost, what it used is that width is the coil paper of 610mm, and have the composing result of higher cost, what it used is that width is the coil paper of 432mm.In a word, for dissimilar coil papers, be different for its composing the possibility of result, use cost is also correspondingly different thus.In addition, although note that the length of coil paper is illustrated as 3200mm here, because coil paper can be cut in the longitudinal direction, therefore the print length of coil paper can be variable, as long as print length is in the scope of printer for the printable length of the coil paper of the type.In any case the size of coil paper is unrestricted in the present invention.
By using the said method according to the first embodiment of the present invention, can obtain to have the composing result of minimum printer paper cost, the utilization rate of print resource can be maximized thus.
In fact, other parameter can be added in the above-mentioned computing method, for example, " overlay film pattern cost rate ", " post-processed manual working cost rate ", and/or " printer use cost rate (printing every cost that paper is spent) " etc.Like this, can be based on the parameter of adding and modification formula 1).For example, formula 1) can be modified to following formula.
The page or leaf of setting type gets score value=(printer paper cost rate+overlay film pattern cost rate) used printer paper size of *
... formula 1 ')
The page or leaf of setting type gets the object page or leaf counting * post-processed manual working cost rate in the used printer paper size of score value=(printer paper cost rate+overlay film pattern cost rate) *+composing page or leaf
... formula 1 ")
Set type page or leaf the used printer paper size of score value=(printer paper cost rate+overlay film pattern cost rate) *+printer use cost rate * object page or leaf that object page or leaf counting+post-processed manual working cost rate * in the page or leaf sets type in the page or leaf of setting type is counted
... formula 1 " ')
In fact, a large amount of this calculating formulas can be designed, and also a variety of computing method can be accessed.Therefore, these formulas shown in the above and computing method only are examples, and the present invention should not be limited to those.
Above example the computing method relevant with cost.In fact, by top example, also can obtain similarly the computing method relevant with profit.Note that when carrying out the computing method relevant with profit, can select to have the composing result of top gain as final composing result.
The computing method relevant with profit can for set type, printing, cutting and/or to pack relevant commercial operation helpful widely.For example, these computing method can be applied in the print shop.
Therefore, by using the composition method according to the first embodiment of the present invention, can access the composing result with least cost or top gain.
In addition, also can obtain similarly having the composing result of combined effect.For example, if the personnel that hurry in need to print the data that some are worried, and this moment, cost or profit are not the most important things of its care, and printing speed is most important thing for it.Therefore, with the printer with the fastest print speed, the most close these personnel's printer or the current printer that is in idle condition are corresponding composing collection can be placed in the primary importance of front.In this case, when the computing method used about cost, can obtain to have the composing result of higher print speed and lower cost.Similarly, when the computing method used about profit, can obtain to have the composing result of higher print speed and fairly high profit.Above-described example only is exemplary, combined effect is not limited to cost and print speed, profit and print speed, but can be resultful combination in any, for example, the effect that obtains according to such as the user's request of user's preference (for example, someone may miss potter and use certain printer) and/or the current state of printer etc.
And, by using after composition method according to the present invention carries out the composing of object to be processed, can carry out follow-up operation (if there is).For example, about printing, can carry out the process of back example.But, the invention is not restricted to such process.In fact, follow-up operation or processing are for the present invention not necessarily.As long as suitably, follow-up operation or processing can be any one in them.
Take printing as example, may in network, there be a lot of printers to use.Their type can be identical or different.The printer of same type can be designated as the document of printing the different paper type.Even they are designated as the document of printing identical paper type, their overlay film pattern also can be different after printing.In addition, a printer can be supported polytype paper feeding.The collection of setting type can help the managing printing machine and distribute the page or leaf of setting type to printer.Particularly, composing page or leaf printing step is as follows:
1, obtains being included in the composing collection of setting type in the page or leaf;
2, all printers that mate with " printing type ", " output print sheet type " and " overlay film pattern " that obtain this composings collection with the collection of setting type.
3, from the printer of selecting according to the collection of setting type, select suitable printer;
4, in selected printer, print the page or leaf of setting type.
In order to give an example the relation between the composing page or leaf of printer shown in elder generation's table 6 below and the collection of setting type.
Table 6
| Printer name | The composing set name that its page or leaf of setting type can be printed claims |
| Printer 1 | |
| Printer | |
| 2 | |
| Printer | |
| 3 | P2，P3，P4 |
| Printer 4 | P2，P3，P4 |
Suppose that the composing collection in " page or leaf 1 of setting type " and " page or leaf 2 of setting type " is " P1 ".Support that the printer of " P1 " is " printer 1 " and " printer 2 ".Therefore, can in " printer 1 " or " printer 2 ", print " page or leaf 1 of setting type " and " page or leaf 2 of setting type ".
Composing collection in " page or leaf 3 of setting type " is " P3 ".Support that the printer of " P3 " is " printer 3 " and " printer 4 ".Therefore, can in " printer 3 " or " printer 4 ", print " page or leaf 3 of setting type ".
The relation of therefore, setting type between page or leaf and the printer can be indicated in the following table 7.
Table 7
| The composing page or leaf | Can print the printer of this page |
| Composing page or leaf 1 | Printer 1, |
| Composing page or |
Printer 1, |
| Composing page or |
|
Before using alternative printer printing composing page or leaf, whether state ready or this printer whether printer is being printed will be examined to determine whether can print now such as printer.Here suppose that all printers are ready.Therefore, in the time will printing the composing page or leaf, the corresponding relation of setting type between page or leaf and the printer can be indicated in the following table 8.
Table 8
| The composing page or leaf | The printer of this page will be printed |
| Composing page or leaf 1 | Printer 1 |

Note that the printing among the present invention also is not limited to top exemplified.As mentioned above, as long as follow-up operation or process suitably can be carried out this follow-up operation or processing subsequently, and such operation or process for the present invention not necessarily.
The second embodiment
Below, with reference to Fig. 9 description composition method according to a second embodiment of the present invention.Fig. 9 is that expression realizes the process flow diagram according to another example process of composition method of the present invention.For brevity, will be omitted with the similar step of the first embodiment or processing.
Particularly, in step 9011, by sequentially placing each collection of setting type, form orderly composing collection sequence by a plurality of composing collection.Here, formed composing collection sequence is different from the unordered composing collection sequence of formation in the step 701.Like this, do not need to carry out the processing of removing the composing collection sequence that repeats.
For example, if have three set type collection P1, P2, P3, and (supposition here is order from small to large to the size order of their printer paper cost rate, certainly, order from big to small also is suitable) be P1, P2 and P3 then can when forming composing collection sequence, place the collection of setting type according to their size order.For example, at first, the size order of printer paper cost rate according to them obtains orderly composing collection sequence P1-＞P2-＞P3; Secondly, then the position of exchange P2 and P3 obtains orderly composing collection sequence P1-＞P3-＞P2.Can obtain similarly other orderly composing collection sequence.
In step 9012, by arranging orderly composing collection sequence with sort method, the arrangement of the collection sequence of being set type in order.Will be described later the example of arranging the collection sequence of setting type in order with sort method.But, note that sort method is not limited to the sort method that will describe, but any sort method can be applied to the present invention.
After the packet transaction at execution in step 702 places, in step 903, determine whether it is last collection sequence of setting type.If not last collection sequence of setting type of this arrangement, then return step 702 to continue selecting other composing collection sequence and the Object group that will process from this arrangement of the collection sequence of setting type.But, the collection sequence if last that should arrange set type, then this process enters into step 704.
In addition, in step 903, also can limit circulation with limited number of times.Particularly, if arrived limited number of times, then this process enters into step 704.If do not arrive limited number of times, then return step 702 to continue selecting other composing collection sequence and the Object group that will process from this arrangement of the collection sequence of setting type.The use of limited number of times can reduce calculated amount and improve thus counting yield, especially when a lot of composing collection is arranged.Here, note that limited number of times can be suitable arbitrarily numerical value (less than the quantity of the collection sequences of all setting type), and the personnel that can be operated specify or obtain by test.In addition, limited number of times also can be used among the first embodiment.
Then, specifically describe according to sort method of the present invention with reference to Figure 10.Figure 10 example according to sort method process flow diagram of the present invention.Note that applicable to sort method of the present invention and be not limited to this sort method.
Particularly, in step 1001, for each collection of setting type distributes a value relevant with the priority of this collection of setting type.
Here, the priority of the collection of setting type can with all or part of relating to parameters of a printer or relevant with the part of the common parameter of a plurality of printers or described common parameter, for example, print cost rate, the current state of printing rate of profit, printer, user's demand, the parameter relevant with post-processed and/or their combination.
In step 1002, select an orderly composing collection sequence, for the position at each the collection place of setting type in the selected composing collection sequence assigns weight, wherein, determine the size order of each weight of distributing based on the size order of the priority of each collection of setting type.
In step 1003, for the collection sequence of setting type, to distributing to the value weighting of this composings collection, and calculate value sum after each weighting that collects of setting type in the collection sequence of setting type with the weight of the position at each collection place of setting type.
In step 1004, determine whether it is last collection sequence of setting type.The collection sequence if last is set type, then this process enters step 1005.If not last collection sequence of setting type, then this process is returned step 1003.
In step 1005, based on the collection sequence of arrange setting type of the value sum after the weighting, so that the ordered arrangement of the collection sequence that obtains setting type.
Then, explain top sort method and step thereof with providing example.Supposing has three set type collection P1, P2, P3, and, obtain orderly composing collection sequence (particularly, in step 9011) about above-described method.
At first, according to step 1001, for each collection of setting type distributes a value relevant with the priority of this collection of setting type.For example, priority of this collection of setting type is relevant with its printer paper cost rate, and, according to the size order of these three the printer paper cost rate that collect of setting type, respectively to these three orderly composing collection P1, P2 and P3 apportioning costs 9,4,1.Here they, note that the value of distributing for the collection of setting type is unrestricted, as long as can reflect the priority of these collection of setting type.For example, also can use the value of reverse order, that is, and 1,4,9.The value of more for example, distributing can be respectively 356,213,102 (or 102,213,356).
Secondly, according to step 1002, select an orderly composing collection sequence.Here, what suppose selection is first orderly composing collection sequence, for example, and P1-＞P2-＞P3.Then, the position for each the collection place of setting type in the selected composing collection sequence assigns weight.For example, respectively to first first position, second position, the 3rd position apportioning cost 9,4,1 of setting type in the collection sequence.
The 3rd, according to step 1003, for the collection sequence of setting type, with the weight of the position at each collection place of setting type to distributing to the value weighting of the collection of setting type.For example, for the collection sequence P1-＞P2-＞P3 that sets type, obtain value 9*9,4*4 and 1*1 after the corresponding weighting, and the value sum after the weighting is 98.Again for example, for the collection sequence P1-＞P3-＞P2 that sets type, obtain value 9*9,4*1 and 1*4 after the weighting, and the value sum after the weighting is 89.For remaining orderly composing collection sequence, calculate similarly value after the weighting and the value sum after the weighting.
The 4th, according to step 1005, based on resulting each and, the set type ordered arrangement of collection sequence of the collection sequence of arrange setting type in order to obtain, as follows.
In the situation according to the value after the order-assigned weighting from small to large, sort method is similar.
Again for example, supposing has four set type collection P1, P2, P3, P4, and their priority is according to the order of P1-＞P2-＞P3-＞P4.Then, the value of distributing to these four set type collection P1, P2, P3, P4 can be for example 1,5,9,15.Then, the weight of distributing to first, second, third, fourth position can be 1,5,9,15, perhaps other different value.Therefore, can obtain following rank results.
By using composition method according to a second embodiment of the present invention, also can access and the similar technique effect of the technique effect of the first embodiment.In addition, in a second embodiment, provide a kind of novelty and creative sort method, and this sort method is relevant with the priority of the collection of setting type.By using such sort method, good composing result will concentrate on the front portion of the arrangement of the collection sequence of setting type.That is to say that the composing collection sequence that is positioned at the front may have good composing result.In addition, by further use limited number of times, can reduce widely calculated amount.
