  • Information processing method, information processor, and information processing system
    Publication number: 20030164979
    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.
