An information processing device for communicating with a central information processing device having a database storing a plurality of contents and an output table storing an output flag for selectively controlling display of the content, and outputting a pamphlet including the plurality of contents, the information processing device comprising:
- an input device configured to input a specification condition for specifying content;
- a display device configured to display, based on a value of the output control flag, a page selection screen for selecting pages for editing the pamphlet, the page selection screen including both a thumbnail image of a page extracted from the database by the central information processing device, in which first content satisfying the specification condition is described, and a thumbnail image of a page, in which second content about terms of agreement independent of the specification condition is described, wherein the thumbnail image of the page, in which the second content is described, is always selected on the page selection screen;
- a receiver configured to receive, from the central information processing device, the pamphlet including both the page extracted from the database and selected via the page selection screen and the page in which the second content is described;
- and
- an output device configured to output the pamphlet received by the receiver.
An information output program that can be executed by a computer in an information processing device for communicating with a central information processing device having a database storing a plurality of tour information contents and an output table storing an output flag for selectively controlling display of the content, and outputting a tour pamphlet made up of the plurality of tour information contents, the information output program comprising:
- an input module for obtaining input specification conditions for specifying tour information contents;
- a display module for displaying, based on a value of the output control flag, a page selection screen for selecting pages for editing the pamphlet, the page selection screen including both a thumbnail image of a page extracted from the database by the central information processing device, in which first content satisfying the specification conditions is described, and a thumbnail image of a page, in which second content about terms of agreement independent of the specification conditions is described, wherein the thumbnail image of the page, in which the second content is described, is always selected on the page selection screen;
- and
- an output module for receiving, from the central information processing device, and outputting the tour pamphlet including both the page extracted from the database and selected via the selection screen and the page in which the second content is described.
An information output method performed by an information processing device for communicating with a central information processing device having a database storing a plurality of tour information contents and an output table storing an output flag for selectively controlling display of the content, and outputting a tour pamphlet made up of the plurality of tour information contents, the information output method comprising:
- obtaining, via an input device, input specification conditions for specifying tour information contents;
- displaying, based on a value of the output control flag, a page selection screen for selecting pages for editing the pamphlet, the page selection screen including both a thumbnail image of a page extracted from the database by the central information processing device, in which first content satisfying the specification conditions is described, and a thumbnail image of a page, in which second content about terms of agreement independent of the specification conditions is described, wherein the thumbnail image of the page, in which the second content is described, is always selected on the page selection screen;
- receiving, from the central information processing device, the tour pamphlet including both the page extracted from the database and selected via the page selection screen and the page in which the second content is described;
- and
- outputting the tour pamphlet.
