Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft zum Einen ein Verfahren zum Herstellen eines Druckprodukts, wobei das Druckprodukt anhand einer Druckvorlage definiert, mittels eines Bestellsystems für Druckprodukte bestellt und entsprechend der Druckvorlage gedruckt wird und zum Andern ein Bestellsystem für Druckprodukte mit einem Definitionsmodul, mittels dessen ein Druckprodukt anhand einer Druckvorlage definierbar ist und mit einem Übermittlungsmodul, mittels dessen eine Bestellung des Druckprodukts an einen Anbieter der Druckprodukte übermittelbar ist.The invention relates on the one hand to a method for producing a printed product, wherein the printed product is defined by means of a print template, ordered by means of an order system for printed products and printed according to the print template and to another an ordering system for printed products with a definition module, by means of which a printed product based on a print template is definable and with a transmission module, by means of which an order of the printed product can be transmitted to a provider of the printed products.
Derartige Verfahren sowie Bestellsysteme der vorgenannten Art sind - realisiert beispielsweise im Portal www.printplaza.com der Print Plaza AG, Düsseldorf/DE - allgemein bekannt und kommen zunehmend als Frontend für die Bestellung durch Einkäufer von Druckprodukten zum Einsatz. Große grafische Produktionsbetriebe als Anbieter individueller Druckprodukte werben beispielsweise mit der Aussage, dass sie über ihr jeweiliges Bestellsystem dem Einkäufer mehrere Hunderttausend verschiedener Druckprodukte zur Auswahl anbieten.Such methods and ordering systems of the aforementioned type are - well-known, for example, in the portal www.printplaza.com Print Plaza AG, Dusseldorf / DE - and are increasingly used as a front-end for ordering by buyers of printed products used. Large graphic production companies as providers of individual print products advertise, for example, with the statement that they offer the purchaser several hundred thousand different printed products to choose from via their respective ordering system.
Die im Rahmen eines derartigen Verfahrens respektive Bestellsystems verwendete Druckvorlage wird oft nicht vom Einkäufer selbst, sondern von einem bei dem Einkäufer angestellten Designer oder häufiger von einem für den Einkäufer freiberuflich als Dienstleister tätigen Designbüro erstellt. Für Einkäufer sind diese Dienstleister bevorzugte "natürliche" Ansprechpartner bei der Frage nach Herstellern für die Druckprodukte - und aus diesem Grund wiederum aus Sicht der Hersteller von Druckprodukten gerade für die Werbung von Neukunden wichtige Werbeträger. Um Designer in diesem Sinne als Werbeträger an sich zu binden, bieten Hersteller diesen beispielsweise Provisionen für die Vermittlung von Aufträgen für die Herstellung von Druckprodukten.The artwork used in the context of such a method or ordering system is often not created by the purchaser itself, but rather by a designer employed by the purchaser, or more often by a design agency working freelance as a service provider for the purchaser. For buyers, these service providers are preferred "natural" contact persons when it comes to manufacturers of printed products - and for this reason, in turn, from the point of view of print product manufacturers, they are important advertising media for the advertising of new customers. To bind designers in this sense as an advertising medium, manufacturers offer them, for example, commissions for arranging orders for the production of printed products.
Allgemein bekannt ist beispielsweise ein Vorgehen, wobei der Designer als Ersteller einer Druckvorlage im Auftrag des Einkäufers oder in eigenem Namen beim Hersteller das Druckprodukt unmittelbar selbst bestellt und hierfür eine mit dem Hersteller vereinbarte Provision erhält.For example, a procedure is generally known, whereby the designer, as the creator of a print copy on behalf of the purchaser or in his own name, directly orders the printed product from the manufacturer and receives a commission agreed with the manufacturer for this purpose.
Bei der zunehmend automatisierten Bestellung von Druckprodukten über Bestellsysteme im Internet durch den Einkäufer selbst kommt der Ersteller der Druckvorlage nicht mehr unmittelbar in Kontakt mit dem Hersteller, wird daher bei Auftragserteilung nicht als solcher identifiziert und für den erteilten Auftrag nicht als Provisionsempfänger bestimmt. Die Vermittlung solcher Internetportale ist daher auf Grundlage des bekannten Verfahrens für den Ersteller der Druckvorlage nicht lukrativ.With the increasingly automated ordering of print products via ordering systems on the Internet by the purchaser himself, the creator of the print template no longer comes is therefore not identified as such upon placing the order and is not designated as the commission recipient for the order placed. The mediation of such Internet portals is therefore not lucrative based on the known method for the creator of the artwork.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, bei Bestellung des Druckprodukts über ein Bestellsystem im Internet die Bestimmung eines Erstellers der Druckvorlage als Provisionsempfänger zu ermöglichen.The invention is based on the object when ordering the printed product via an ordering system on the Internet to allow the determination of a creator of the print template as a commission receiver.
Ausgehend von den bekannten Verfahren wird nach der Erfindung vorgeschlagen, dass von dem Bestellsystem zunächst aus der Druckvorlage ein Identifikationsmerkmal eines Erstellers der Druckvorlage gelesen und ein Auftrag zum Herstellen des Druckprodukts dem Ersteller zugeordnet wird. Der Ersteller einer Druckvorlage kann in vielerlei Hinsicht solche Identifikationsmerkmale in die Druckvorlage derart einbinden, dass sie deren Verwendung weder beeinträchtigen, noch vom Verwender überhaupt bemerkt werden. In einem automatisierten Bestellsystem kann ein solches Identifikationsmerkmal gleichwohl gelesen und derart verwendet werden, dass der erteilte Auftrag dem Ersteller zugeordnet und letzterer aufgrund dieser Zuordnung als Provisionsempfänger bestimmt wird.Starting from the known methods, it is proposed according to the invention that the identification system of a creator of the printing original be read by the ordering system firstly from the printing original and an order for producing the printed product assigned to the creator. The creator of a print template can in many ways incorporate such identification features in the artwork so that they neither affect their use nor are noticed by the user at all. In an automated order system, such an identification feature can nevertheless be read and used in such a way that the order placed is assigned to the creator and the latter is determined as the commission receiver on the basis of this assignment.
Mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren können ein Designer oder ein Hersteller einer für die Erstellung einer Druckvorlage verwendeten Software oder auch beide zugleich als (provisionsberechtigte) Ersteller der Druckvorlage identifiziert werden.With the method according to the invention, a designer or a manufacturer of a software used for the production of a print template or even both at the same time as (commission-entitled) creator of the print template can be identified.
Vorteilhafter Weise wird im Rahmen eines erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens der Ersteller von dem Bestellsystem anhand einer Übereinstimmung mit einer Definition des Identifikationsmerkmals in einem dem Ersteller zugeordneten Erstellerdatensatz identifiziert. Durch die Verwendung einer Datenbank mit (provisionsberechtigten) Dienstleistern als potenziellen Erstellern von Druckvorlagen und die Vereinbarung eines individuellen Identifikationsmerkmals für jeden der erfassten Dienstleister ermöglicht das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren die automatische Identifikation des Erstellers einer Druckvorlage einschließlich Bestimmung desselben als Provisionsempfänger.In the context of a method according to the invention, the creator is advantageously identified by the ordering system on the basis of a match with a definition of the identification feature in a creator data record assigned to the creator. By using a database of (commission-entitled) service providers as potential creators of print templates and the agreement of an individual identification feature for each of the registered service provider allows inventive method, the automatic identification of the creator of a print template including determination of the same as a commission receiver.
Vorzugsweise liegt zur Durchführung eines erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens die Druckvorlage im Portable Document Format vor. Die Verwendung von PDF als weithin verbreitetes Format für Druckvorlagen ermöglicht den Erstellern dieser Druckvorlagen die Teilnahme an dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren ohne wesentlichen zusätzlichen Aufwand, insbesondere ohne Beschaffung herstellerspezifischer Software für die Erstellung der Druckvorlagen.Preferably, for carrying out a method according to the invention, the print template is in Portable Document Format. The use of PDF as a widely used format for print templates allows the creators of these print templates to participate in the inventive method without significant additional effort, in particular without procurement of manufacturer-specific software for the creation of the print templates.
Bevorzugt ist im Rahmen eines erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens das Identifikationsmerkmal eine Kombination von ASCII-Zeichen. ASCII-Zeichen - also im Wesentlichen alphanumerische Zeichen nach dem American Standard Code for Information Interchange - können beispielsweise einfach in vordefinierten Feldern im Header einer PDF-Datei angebracht und aus diesen Feldern automatisiert gelesen werden. Alternativ kann das Identifikationsmerkmal auch ein grafisch gestaltetes Zeichen, beispielsweise eine Bitmap- oder Vektorgrafik sein, und als solches in die Druckvorlage eingebunden sein. Auch die steganografische Einbindung des Identifikationsmerkmals in einen Bildanteil der Druckvorlage ist denkbar.Within the scope of a method according to the invention, the identification feature is preferably a combination of ASCII characters. For example, ASCII characters - essentially American Standard Code for Information Interchange alphanumeric characters - can be easily placed in predefined fields in the header of a PDF file and automatically read from those fields. Alternatively, the identification feature can also be a graphically designed character, for example a bitmap or vector graphics, and as such be integrated into the print template. The steganographic integration of the identification feature in an image portion of the print template is conceivable.
Das Identifikationsmerkmal wird vorteilhafter Weise im Rahmen eines erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens nicht gedruckt. So ist das Identifikationsmerkmal im fertigen Druckprodukt nicht mehr sichtbar. Beispielsweise kann hierzu das Identifikationsmerkmal als grafisches Zeichen außerhalb des bedruckten Papierformats, oder als ASCII-Zeichen (wie oben ausgeführt) im Header eingebunden sein. Das Identifikationsmerkmal kann auch als "transparentes", also farbloses und damit nicht gedrucktes Zeichen im grafischen Bereich der Druckvorlage angeordnet sein oder - nach dem Erkennen - automatisch aus dieser entfernt werden. Alternativ kann das Identifikationsmerkmal auch im Beschnittbereich in die Druckvorlage eingebunden sein, mit gedruckt werden und anschließend durch Beschnitt des Druckprodukts entfernt werden.The identification feature is advantageously not printed in the context of a method according to the invention. Thus, the identification feature in the finished printed product is no longer visible. For example, for this purpose, the identification feature can be integrated as a graphic character outside the printed paper format, or as an ASCII character (as stated above) in the header. The identification feature can also be arranged as a "transparent", that is colorless and thus not printed characters in the graphic area of the print original or - after detection - automatically removed from this. Alternatively, the identification feature can also be incorporated in the trim area in the print template, be printed with and then removed by trimming the printed product.
Ausgehend von den bekannten Bestellsystemen wird nach der Erfindung vorgeschlagen, ein Identifikationsmodul vorzusehen, mittels dessen ein Ersteller der Druckvorlage identifizierbar ist, sowie ein Zuordnungsmodul, mittels dessen die Bestellung dem Ersteller zuordenbar ist. Ein solches Bestellsystem ermöglicht die Ausführung eines erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens und weist dessen Vorteile auf.Starting from the known ordering systems, it is proposed according to the invention to provide an identification module, by means of which a creator of the print original can be identified, as well as an assignment module, by means of which the order is assigned to the creator is assignable. Such an ordering system enables the execution of a method according to the invention and has its advantages.
Besonders bevorzugt weist ein erfindungsgemäßes Bestellsystem ein Registrierungsmodul auf, mittels dessen Daten des Erstellers in einem Erstellerdatensatz registrierbar sind. In einem solchen Bestellsystem kann eine Datenbank mit potenziellen Erstellern angelegt werden. Alternativ kann im Rahmen eines erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens das Registrierungsmodul auch unabhängig von dem Bestellsystem realisiert sein, wobei dann das Bestellsystem die externe Datenbank des Registrierungsmoduls abfragt.Particularly preferably, an order system according to the invention has a registration module, by means of which data of the creator can be registered in an author data record. In such an ordering system, a database of potential creators can be created. Alternatively, in the context of a method according to the invention, the registration module can also be realized independently of the ordering system, in which case the ordering system queries the external database of the registration module.
In dem Erstellerdatensatz eines solchen erfindungsgemäßen Bestellsystems ist vorzugsweise ein Identifikationsmerkmal definierbar und mittels des Identifikationsmoduls der Ersteller durch Erkennen des Identifikationsmerkmals identifizierbar. Das Identifikationsmodul eines erfindungsgemäßen Bestellsystems kann dann bei Eingang eines Auftrags in der zugeordneten Druckvorlage nach diesen Identifikationsmerkmalen suchen und den Ersteller identifizieren.In the creator data record of such an inventive ordering system, an identification feature is preferably definable and identifiable by recognizing the identification feature by means of the identification module of the creator. The identification module of an ordering system according to the invention can then search for these identification features upon receipt of a job in the associated print template and identify the creator.
Weiterhin weist ein erfindungsgemäßes Bestellsystem vorteilhafter Weise ein Provisionsmodul auf, mittels dessen dem Ersteller für die Bestellung eine Provision zuordenbar ist. Ein solches erfindungsgemäße Bestellsystem kann dann automatisch in einem angeschlossenen Buchungssystem die Auszahlung der Provision an den Ersteller auslösen. Alternativ kann im Rahmen eines erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens auch dieses Provisionsmodul außerhalb des Bestellsystems realisiert sein, beispielsweise in einem der Herstellung des Druckprodukts nachgeordneten Nachkalkulationsmodul.Furthermore, an inventive ordering system advantageously has a commission module, by means of which the creator for the order a commission can be assigned. Such an order system according to the invention can then automatically trigger the payment of the commission to the creator in a connected booking system. Alternatively, in the context of a method according to the invention, this commission module can also be realized outside the order system, for example in a post-calculation module arranged downstream of the production of the printed product.
Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand eines Ausführungsbeispiels erläutert. Ein Hersteller von Druckprodukten, hier eine Großdruckerei mit einer Angebotspalette von über 250.000 verschiedenen individuellen Druckprodukten stellt diese Angebotspalette in einem über das Internet frei zugänglichen erfindungsgemäßen Bestellsystem für Einkäufer von Druckprodukten zur Verfügung. Die technischen Möglichkeiten der Großdruckerei umfassen Offset- und Digitaldruck in Formaten von 85 x 54 mm für Visitenkarten bis zu Großformatdrucken von 100 x 220 cm auf etwa zwanzig unterschiedlichen Papierarten mit Laminierung, Lackierung oder Klebebeschichtung oder als Durchschreibsatz, draht- oder fadengeheftet, ring- oder klebegebunden, im Leporello- oder Rollfalz oder aufgerollt in Standard- oder Expressfertigung und/oder -lieferung.The invention will be explained below with reference to an embodiment. A manufacturer of printed products, here a large print shop with a range of over 250,000 different individual print products makes this range available in a freely accessible via the Internet access system according to the invention for buyers of printed products. The technical capabilities of large-scale printing include offset and digital printing in formats from 85 x 54 mm for business cards up to large format prints of 100 x 220 cm on about twenty different types of paper Lamination, lacquer or adhesive coating or as a through-letter set, wire or thread-stitched, ring-bound or adhesive-bound, in fan-fold or roll-fold or rolled up in standard or express production and / or delivery.
In dem erfindungsgemäßen Bestellsystem wählt der Einkäufer an seinem PC-Arbeitsplatz über das in einem Standard-Browser geöffnete Auswahlmodul zunächst einen aus einer übersichtlichen Auswahl von nur elf standardisierten Produkttypen, nämlich den jeweils aus einem einzelnen Blatt bestehenden Produkttypen "Postkarte", "Etikett", "Visitenkarte", "gefalzter" und "ungefalzter Flyer", "Briefbogen", "Poster" und "XXL-Poster", und den aus mehreren Produktteilen bestehenden Produkttypen "Block", "Durchschreibsatz", "Mappe", "klebegebundene", "drahtgeheftete" und "ringgebundene Broschur". Der Einkäufer wählt hieraus einen als Leporello gefalzten Flyer im Endformat C6 lang.In the ordering system according to the invention, the purchaser first selects one of a standardized selection of only eleven standardized product types at his PC workstation via the selection module which is opened in a standard browser, namely the product type "postcard", "label", which respectively consists of a single sheet. "Business card", "folded" and "unfolded flyer", "letterhead", "poster" and "XXL poster", and the multi-product product types "block", "write-through", "wallet", "adhesive-bound", "wire-stitched" and "ring bound booklet". The purchaser selects this as a Leporello folded flyer in the final format C6 long.
In der Artikeldatenbank sind für jeden der standardisierten Produkttypen häufig genutzte Auflagen definiert. Nach Abschluss der Bestimmung des Druckprodukts ermittelt das Bestellsystem für diese vordefinierten Auflagen anhand der Werte und Kostenfaktoren der gewählten Artikel die jeweiligen Kostenanteile und daraus als Summe die Kosten des Druckprodukts und stellt dem Einkäufer in dem Auswahlmodul die entsprechenden Preise nach aufsteigender Auflage sortiert dar. Nach Auswahl einer Auflage von 15.000 Stück stellt das Bestellsystem dem Einkäufer im Auswahlmodul eine Seite mit einer Kurzbeschreibung des gewählten Artikel und mit weiteren Optionen dar. Insbesondere werden verschiedene Optionen zum Korrekturabzug, zum Versand, und zur Form der Druckdaten angeboten.In the item database, commonly used conditions are defined for each of the standardized product types. Upon completion of the determination of the printed product, the ordering system for these pre-defined runs uses the values and cost factors of the selected items to determine the respective cost portions and as a sum the cost of the printed product and presents the corresponding prices to the purchaser in the selection module in ascending order With a circulation of 15,000 copies, the order system presents the purchaser in the selection module with a short description of the selected article and with further options. In particular, various options for proof-reading, shipping, and the form of the print data are offered.
Der Einkäufer wählt aus verschiedenen im Bestellsystem akzeptierten Formen von Druckdaten das Portable Document Format und übermittelt auf entsprechende Anforderung durch das Bestellsystem eine auf seiner lokalen Festplatte vorhandene PDF-Datei. Nach Eingabe der Identifikation des Einkäufers bestätigt das Bestellsystem dem Einkäufer den Eingang der Bestellung auf einer separaten Bildschirmseite sowie durch eMail und übermittelt den Auftrag zur Herstellung des Flyers an die Großdruckerei.The purchaser selects the Portable Document Format from various forms of print data accepted in the ordering system and, upon request by the ordering system, transmits a PDF file present on his local hard disk. After entering the identification of the purchaser, the order system confirms the receipt of the order to the purchaser on a separate screen page as well as by e-mail and transmits the order for the production of the flyer to the large print shop.
Für den Einkäufer nicht sichtbar untersucht ein Identifikationsmodul des Bestellsystems die übermittelte Druckvorlage und findet im Kopf der Datei eine manuell eingefügte Kommentarzeile "%ppID0815". Das Identifikationsmodul sucht daraufhin in einer Datenbank des Bestellsystems einen Erstellerdatensatz mit dem Identifikationsmerkmal "0815" und übermittelt einen Verweis auf den gefundenen Erstellerdatensatz sowie einen Verweis auf den Auftrag an ein Zuordnungs- und Provisionsmodul des Bestellsystems.Not visible to the purchaser, an identification module of the ordering system examines the submitted print template and finds a manually inserted comment line "% ppID0815" in the header of the file. The identification module then searches in one Database of the ordering system a creator record with the identification feature "0815" and transmits a reference to the found author data set and a reference to the order to a mapping and commissions module of the ordering system.
Das Zuordnungs- und Provisionsmodul ordnet den Auftrag entsprechend dem Erstellerdatensatz einer "Professional Design AG, Bern/CH" als Ersteller der Druckvorlage zu, ermittelt aus einem in dem Erstellerdatensatz hinterlegten Provisionsanteil und dem Auftragsvolumen die Höhe der Provision und veranlasst über ein Buchungsmodul die Überweisung der Provision auf ein gleichfalls in dem Erstellerdatensatz definiertes Konto des Erstellers.The allocation and commission module assigns the order according to the author data set to "Professional Design AG, Berne / CH" as the creator of the print template, determines the amount of the commission from a commission share and the order volume stored in the creator record and initiates the transfer of the payment via a booking module Provision to an account of the creator also defined in the creator record.
Ein Mitarbeiter des Erstellers hatte diesen an seinem PC-Arbeitsplatz in dem in einem Standard-Browser geöffneten Registrierungsmodul des Bestellsystems registriert und hierbei die Daten des Erstellerdatensatzes definiert. Das Bestellsystem stellt dem registrierten Ersteller seitdem über eine persönliche Seite ein im Browser ausführbares Skript bereit, das die oben genannte Kommentarzeile in eine auszuwählende PDF-Datei automatisiert einfügt.An employee of the creator registered this at his PC workstation in the registration module of the ordering system opened in a standard browser and defined the data of the creator data record. Since then, the ordering system has provided the registered creator with a browser-executable script via a personal page, which automatically inserts the above-mentioned comment line into a PDF file to be selected.
