Variable area-based page assembly method and system

Abstract

The invention provides a variable area-based page assembly method and a variable area-based page assembly system. The system comprises a page area management module, and the module divides a page into a variable area and an invariable area; primitives in the variable area are assembled, reference page information of the page is marked, the data of the variable area are transmitted to external equipment, and a quick combiner in the external equipment combines the data of the variable area and the data of the invariable area to obtain dot matrix data of the page. Correspondingly, the method comprises the steps of page division, reference page determination, identification of the variable area and the invariable area and combination. Only the primitives in the variable area are assembled, only the data of the variable area are transmitted, and the data of the variable area and the data of the invariable area are combined by an external combining module, so the data volume of the outwardstransmitted data is reduced, the assembly time is greatly reduced, and particularly assembly of multi-page variable data format files is quickened.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of image rasterization, in particular to a method and system for page assembly based on variable regions. Background technique [0002] With the continuous maturity and development of digital technology, network technology and digital printing equipment, the digital printing market is also constantly maturing and popularizing. Compared with traditional printing, the most significant advantage of digital printing is "printing from one sheet to sheet is different." The typical application of digital printing is personalized printing, also known as variable data printing (Variable Data Printing, VDP). The so-called variable data refers to the variable page description data. Usually a page can be regarded as composed of two types of data: variable elements and reusable elements. The so-called variable element means that the data element only appears on a certain page, and generally does not appear repeatedly. It is o...

Problems solved by technology

[0006] However, this implementation method is inefficient because of the following reasons: 1. Although reusable elements are buffered to avoid repeated generation, they will still be assembled repeatedly; 2. When RIP transmits data to the outside, it follows the overall The data volume of the page is transmitted, resulting in data transmission may become the bottleneck of the entire variable data printing
