Abstract
In the copy or print services that use a copier or a printer installed in a store such as a convenience store, document image information to be copied or printed is combined with pre-registered specific image information (any distribution information such as an advertisement) and the information is output into areas, each providing for each type of the information, on the same surface. Prior to this, a user who wants to distribute information at the front end of the store registers the information at the front end or on a web. The user who registers information pays a registration fee. A copy service user, who permits the distribution information to be output with document image information, gets a discount for using the service.
Claims37
An image processing method for outputting document image information, comprising the steps of:
- image-processing the document image information and pre-registered specific image information;
- and
- outputting the image-processed document image information and specific image information into respective areas prepared on the same surface therefor.
An image information processing method for performing image-combining and/or image-editing processing for document image information and registered specific image information for outputting the information as images,
- wherein image information and attribute information of the specific image information are registered using a form with a specific format.
An information processor that image-processes document image information and pre-registered specific image information for outputting the information, wherein the document image information and the specific image information are output into respective areas prepared on the same surface therefor.
An information processor that performs image-combining and/or image-editing processing for document image information and registered specific image information for outputting the information as images, comprising:
- a registration unit that registers image information and attribute information of the specific image information described on a form with a specific format.
An information processing system that connects, via a network,
- an information processor that image-processes document image information and pre-registered specific image information for outputting the information, wherein the document image information and the specific image information are output into respective areas prepared on the same surface therefor;
- a server that has a form with a particular format for describing image information and attribute information of the specific image information;
- and
- terminals,
- wherein said information processor obtains the image information and the attribute information of the specific image information via the form sent from said terminals via said server.
A form that with a format in which a recording area is divided into a first area that is a recording area of document image information during recording and a second area that is a recording area of specific image information during recording, wherein attribute information of the specific image information is included in said first area and image information of the specific image information is included in said second area.
