Abstract
An advertising system includes a layout setter providing layout information regarding document data and advertisement data to be printed on a paper. A document data processor creates print data for a document by converting the document data into a predetermined printing apparatus description language based on the layout information. An advertisement data processor creates print data for an advertisement by processing the advertisement data according to the layout information. A combining unit combines the print data for the document and the print data for the advertisement to create combined print data including the advertisement.
Claims20
An advertising system using a printing apparatus comprising:
- a layout setter providing layout information regarding document data and advertisement data to be printed on a paper;
- a document data processor that creates print data for a document by converting the document data into a predetermined printing apparatus description language based on the layout information provided by the layout setter, the document data generated using a predetermined application program;
- an advertisement data processor creating print data for an advertisement by processing a predetermined advertisement data according to the layout information provided from the layout setter;
- and
- a combining unit combining the print data for the document sent from the document data processor and the print data for the advertisement sent from the advertisement data processor to create combined print data including the advertisement.
An advertising method using a printing apparatus comprising:
- creating layout information regarding document data and advertisement data to be printed on paper;
- converting the document data into print data for a document, based on the created layout information and printing apparatus setting information, the document data generated using a predetermined application program;
- creating print data for an advertisement by processing a predetermined advertisement data based on the created layout information;
- creating combined print data including the advertisement by combining the print data for the document and the print data for the advertisement;
- and
- printing the combined print data including the advertisement.
A computer readable recording medium storing programs executable by a computer, wherein the programs comprise:
- a first program creating layout information containing layouts of document data and advertisement data to be printed on a paper, a scale-down ratio of a display size of the document data, and watermarking intensity information;
- a second program converting the document data into print data for a document based on the layout information and printer setting information, the document data generated using a predetermined application program;
- a third program creating print data for an advertisement by processing a predetermined advertisement data based on the layout information;
- and
- a fourth program creating combined print data including the advertisement by combining the print data for the document and the print data for the advertisement.
A machine readable storage storing at least one program controlling a computer according to a process comprising:
- providing selectable layout information regarding document data and advertisement data to be printed on paper, converting the document data into print data based upon the selected layout information upon printing the document data, creating print data for a predetermined advertisement based upon the selected layout information, creating combined print data including the advertisement by combining the print data for the document data and the print data for the advertisement, and printing the combined print data including the advertisement.
An advertising method, comprising:
- printing a combined print data of a document and an advertisement in response to a request to print the document.
An advertising method, comprising:
- providing office type printing services using a printing device;
- generating a combined print data of a document and an advertisement in response to a request to print the document by the printing device;
- and
- printing the combined data by printing device.
A printer, comprising:
- a programmed processor providing selectable layout information regarding document data and advertisement data to be printed on paper, converting the document data into print data based upon the selected layout information upon printing the document data, creating print data for a predetermined advertisement based upon the selected layout information, creating combined print data including the advertisement by combining the print data for the document data and the print data for the advertisement, and printing the combined print data including the advertisement.
