Parallel page composition system and method

Abstract

The invention provides a parallel page composition system which comprises a server for managing and maintaining network page composition software, a layered client on which the network page composition software is deployed, a page dividing client, a page composition client and a page merging client. The clients can layer manuscripts by operating the network page composition software, and carry out page dividing, parallel page composition and page merging on a virtual page. Correspondingly, the invention provides a parallel page composition method. According to the invention, not only is parallel page composition based on page layering achieved, but also the page composition time is greatly shortened. Different professionals combine different types of manuscripts so as to improve the quality of the page. In addition, the page information is uniformly defined to the entire page composition flow, thereby achieving uniform management on the page production flow.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of automatic typesetting, in particular to a parallel typesetting system and method. Background technique [0002] Layout production is not only the core of traditional paper books and newspapers printing and publishing, but also the basis of new media such as digital books and newspapers. However, traditional layout production usually involves manual production, and can only be carried out serially according to the process, which is inefficient. [0003] For example, taking traditional newspaper publishing as an example, the layout of newspapers generally includes two types of content: news and advertisements, and its layout production specifically includes the production of advertisement manuscripts, advertisement typesetting, editing and production of news manuscripts, news typesetting, joint edition, imposition, printing, etc. . The production process before printing is usually completed jointly by the...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0011] (1) The production process is a one-way serial process. The news editorial department needs to wait for the advertising department to print the layout results before determining the position of the news and advertisements. It cannot be adjusted and modified flexibly. The real-time performance is poor and the efficiency is low.

[0012] (2) Although the degree of informatization in the planning process is very high, it is still necessary to print the results of the layout in paper for subsequent processes, and the results of informatization are not fully utilized. For example, the position and size of the manuscript determined by the layout cannot be directly generated for typesetting As a result, manuscripts still need to be manually placed on the layout

[0013] (3) It is impossible to see the typesetting of multiple layouts at the same time, and the integrity is poor

For example, when it is necessary to adjust the advertisement, it is still necessary to wait for the adjustment result of the advertising department, and it is impossible to achieve parallel grouping of advertisements and news, and the efficiency is not high

[0016] (2) The content of different natures is grouped together, and the quality of the layout cannot be guaranteed

Therefore, using the same method to typeset advertisements and news will inevitably have the problems of unprofessional layout and low layout quality

[0017] (3) The layout information is defined separately. For example, it is difficult to achieve a consensus when defining the layout arrangement in the advertising system and editing in their own way. Therefore, it is impossible to complete the unified management of the layout process
