INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18315243 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for generating print image data for variable data printing using a database.

  • The method involves using a database that contains text objects associated with fields in the database.
  • The text objects can be viewed on the database.
  • The process begins by obtaining a database.
  • From the edition data that indicates a layout, a specific text object is identified.
  • This text object includes a character-string data piece that corresponds to an attribute character-string data piece in the database.
  • Layout data is then generated by replacing the character-string data piece in the identified text object with a data piece from a record in the database.
  • The data piece in the record corresponds to the attribute associated with the identified text object.


Original Abstract Submitted

Print image data for variable data printing is generated by using a database in which text objects associated with fields included in the database can be viewed on the database. First, a database is obtained. Next, out of one or more text objects included in edition data indicating a layout, a text object of the text objects including a character-string data piece corresponding to an attribute character-string data piece indicating each of one or more attributes included in the database is identified. Then, layout data is generated by replacing the character-string data piece included in the identified text object with a data piece in a record included in the database, the data piece in the record corresponding to the attribute associated with the identified text object.
