Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of book typesetting, and in particular to an intelligent typesetting system and a typesetting method based on remote multi-person collaboration technology. Background Art

[0002] Before a paper book is officially printed, it needs to be produced by an editor as a first draft, and then by a typesetter for initial typesetting / third review and proofreading before the final draft is delivered to the printing factory.

[0003] The entire book typesetting process requires multiple roles and information interactions, among which the most time-consuming interaction is the "three reviews and three proofreadings" process. The current traditional interaction method is that after the typesetting specialist completes the typesetting manuscript (PDF data), the book editor will print it out, then mark the information that needs to be modified by handwriting, and finally upload it to the computer by scanning and pass it to the typesetting staff. After the typesetting staff completes the proofreading information modification, it will be sent to the editor for review until it is finalized. During the "three reviews and three proofreadings", the editor will mark the following information on the paper: symbolic information such as deleting text, modifying text, and replacing book content; currently, there are no relevant applications of automation technologies such as dot matrix technology, real-time delivery technology, and collaborative technology in the market in the typesetting field. The problems caused by traditional manual typesetting methods are: 1. Low efficiency of information exchange: When editors and typesetters exchange proofreading information, they do so through paper scans, and the typesetters can only make typesetting modifications after the editor has reviewed and completed the scan; 2. Low level of typesetting automation: Since book proofreading information remains on paper, it needs to be manually transcribed and modified on the electronic manuscript, which has a low accuracy rate. Summary of the invention

[0004] In order to overcome the problems of low efficiency and low accuracy of traditional typesetting technology, the present invention proposes an intelligent typesetting system based on remote multi-person collaboration technology, the intelligent typesetting system comprising: The editing and proofreading module is used by editors to proofread and modify manuscripts with dot matrix codes; The typesetting system is connected to the editing and proofreading module to receive the proofreading and modification information transmitted back by the editing and proofreading module; The coding module is used to encode the digital information of the manuscript and generate a PDF file with a dot code; The system's automatic typesetting module is used to pre-process the received proofreading and modification information, and automatically modify the typeset manuscript according to the automatic typesetting rules.

[0005] In particular, the coding module includes: The file parsing unit is used to parse the PDF of the manuscript in the initial layout; The dot matrix encoding unit is used to perform coding operations on the manuscript through the dot matrix program and add digital information to the dot matrix code; the PDF integration unit is used to write the dot matrix code into the PDF file so that the dot matrix code complies with the PDF protocol specification.

[0006] In particular, the editing and review module includes: Printing unit, printing manuscripts with dot matrix codes; Dot pen, used for collecting, editing and proofreading information; A connection unit, used to connect the dot matrix pen to the typesetting system through Bluetooth or USB; The uploading unit is used to upload the proofreading modification information to the typesetting system in real time (or temporarily store it in the absence of network) through the camera on the dot matrix pen.

[0007] In particular, the self-typesetting module includes: A data preprocessing unit, used to preprocess proofreading information and identify self-typesetting rules in advance; The automatic modification unit is used to automatically modify the typeset manuscript according to the self-typesetting rules, including text adjustment and layout adjustment; the self-checking unit is used to self-check the automatically completed manuscript and filter out the opinion content that has not been modified.

[0008] In particular, the system also includes a task collaboration module for clustering the information to be proofread and modified, generating modification tasks, and distributing them to multiple typesetters for manual modification.

[0009] In particular, the task coordination module includes: A clustering unit, used for clustering proofreading information to be modified; A task generation unit, used to generate and distribute modification tasks according to clustering results; The task distribution unit is used to distribute different categories of tasks in the clustering results to corresponding typesetters.

[0010] Particularly, the clustering unit performs content clustering according to the following categories: book illustration modification, book content modification or book layout modification.

[0011] In particular, the intelligent typesetting system also includes a merging output unit, which is used to automatically merge the modified content and output the final typesetting manuscript after the typesetter completes the modification.

[0012] In particular, the digital information includes at least one or more of the manuscript ID, page number, and page number position.

[0036] The present invention is connected to the typesetting system through a dot matrix pen, and the editor uses the dot matrix pen to proofread and modify, and the modification information is transmitted back to the typesetting teacher's work interface in real time through notes. The intelligent typesetting system and intelligent typesetting method of the present invention are applied to one or more of books, magazines, newspapers, and periodicals; the overall process is divided into: coding link, editorial review, system self-typesetting and multi-person collaboration in typesetting tasks.

[0037] The coding process refers to the process of generating dot matrix codes from digital information of books, journals, magazines or newspapers in advance and writing them into electronic manuscripts through dot matrix technology, so that they can be collected even if they are printed out. The coding process includes the following four steps: Step 1: When the typesetter completes the initial typesetting (first interaction), he uses typesetting software such as Founder / ID to generate a PDF file; Step 2: Parse the PDF file of the first manuscript, and use the dot matrix program to code the manuscript, and digitally add the manuscript ID, page number, page number information, etc. to the dot matrix code; Step 3: Write the dot code into the PDF file so that the dot code complies with the PDF protocol specification; Step 4: Send the generated typesetting manuscript to the editor, who can print the file and proofread and modify it; Editing and proofreading: After the editor obtains the manuscript with the dot matrix code, print it out and revise it in the normal writing method.
