Slide Transition Print Data Generation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current presentation software is unable to print display data corresponding to each transition in slide data, as it lacks original display data representing each display state after transitions, limiting the ability to print dynamic presentation content effectively.
Innovation Solution
A computer-readable record medium and print data generating device that develop slide data representing transitions into multiple pieces of display data, enabling the generation of print data for printing display data corresponding to each transition, allowing for the realization of printing display data that reflects changes in presentation content.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If presentation software generates display data dynamically based on stored scenarios and user operations, then the software can implement flexible transitions of display states, but the software becomes incapable of printing out each piece of display data corresponding to each transition
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by generating and storing display data for each transition state in advance, before actual printing is needed. The print data generating unit creates print data corresponding to each display state by referencing the stored scenario information, allowing the system to print any transition state without having to dynamically generate display data at print time.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary mechanism - the print data generating unit - that acts as a mediator between the stored scenario data and the printing function. This intermediary translates the dynamic display state information into static print data that can be output by the printer, bridging the gap between dynamic display capabilities and static printing requirements.
2Quantity of substance
If the system stores only scenario information and background data without pre-generating display data for each transition, then storage efficiency is improved, but the ability to print individual transition display data is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the essential scenario information and background data for storage, separating these from the actual display data. When printing is required, the system retrieves the stored scenario information and generates the necessary display data on-demand, extracting only what is needed for the specific printing operation rather than storing all possible display data.
Solution Approach 2:
The system applies self-service by automatically generating display data for printing purposes when needed, without requiring manual pre-generation or external intervention. The print data generating unit autonomously processes the stored scenario information and creates the appropriate print data, serving the printing function using only the stored essential data.

AI summary
There is provided a computer-readable record medium storing computer-readable instructions that cause a computer to execute a developing step of developing slide data representing transitions of display states into multiple pieces of display data each of which represents each display state corresponding to each transition and a print data generating step of generating print data to be used for printing based on the multiple pieces of display data corresponding to transitions obtained by the developing step.
