Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing printed matter producing systems require cumbersome operations to specify character string data from multiple records for database printing, making it inefficient to produce printed materials with multiple print objects.
Innovation Solution
A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing a printed matter producing program that acquires identification information and offset values for character string data, allowing the program to determine and output print data for printing multiple objects across records with a simple operation, enabling efficient database printing.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If character string data from multiple records are printed as multiple print objects using conventional database printing, then the printed matter can include data from multiple records, but the operation becomes cumbersome requiring individual specification of each record name and field name
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses a reference record as a template to copy its structure and field organization to multiple target records. By specifying only the reference record and target record identifiers, the system automatically replicates the field mapping configuration across multiple records, eliminating the need to manually specify field names for each record individually.
Solution Approach 2:
The reference record serves as a universal template that can be applied to multiple different target records. This multi-functional approach allows a single field configuration to work across multiple records, reducing operational complexity while maintaining the ability to print diverse data from multiple sources.
2Manufacturing precision
If individual record and field names are specified for each print object, then precise control over printed data is achieved, but the operation becomes time-consuming and cumbersome
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary configuration by establishing field mappings in a reference record before applying them to multiple target records. This advance preparation allows the same field configuration to be reused across multiple records, significantly reducing the time required for subsequent printing operations while maintaining precise control over data specification.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the operational parameters from specifying individual record and field names for each print object to specifying only record identifiers and a reference record. This parameter transformation maintains precision in data selection while dramatically reducing the number of operations required.

AI summary
The disclosure discloses a non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing a program for executing steps on a computer. An operation terminal that is connected to a printed matter producing apparatus comprising a memory configured to store a database comprising a plurality of records each allocating character string data to a plurality of fields. The steps comprise an information acquiring, an object data determining, a print data creating, and a print data outputting. In the information acquiring, identification information of the field comprising a reference character string data is acquired and a plurality of offset values relating to each of a plurality of pieces of print object data are acquired. In the object data determining, the plurality of pieces of print object data is determined by using the identification information and by applying the plurality of offset values, respectively.
