Abstract: An advertisement system has a printer and a posting server that can communicate with the printer. The advertisement system uses the printer to issue a flyer on which advertisement images are printed. The posting server acquires a plurality of advertisement images of different advertisers, and selects a plurality of advertisement images from the plurality of acquired advertisement images according to a distribution period for the flyer, the distribution period being set for each acquired advertisement image. The posting server then creates print data involved in printing the plurality of selected advertisement images, and transmits the created print data to the printer. The printer receives the print data created by the posting server. To issue the flyer, the printer executes printing according to the received print data.

Abstract: An advertisement system includes a distribution member computer that causes a printer to print the test image data received from a posting server and transmits read data obtained by reading an image of a printed matter obtained by printing test image data by the printer to a posting server, and the posting server including an evaluation unit that evaluates printing quality of the printed matter based on the read data and a decision unit that determines whether to distribute the advertisement data to the distribution member computer based on an evaluation result by the evaluation unit.

Abstract: In an advertisement system that issues a leaflet using a printer of a distributor who distributes a leaflet, the advertisement system includes a server storage unit that stores distributor information about a distributor, a reception unit that receives, from an advertiser, an advertisement request including a distribution condition related to a distribution of the leaflet, an identification unit that identifies the distributor who satisfies the distribution condition included in the advertisement request received by the reception unit based on the distributor information stored in the server storage unit, and a server communication unit that transmits, to the printer of the distributor identified by the identification unit, print data instructing issuance of the leaflet based on the advertisement request received by the reception unit.

Abstract: A posting server includes a server communication unit, and a server controller that transmits advertisement data and a plurality of pieces of ID information to the distribution member device. The distribution member device includes a wireless communication unit, and a device controller that selects one piece of the ID information from the plurality of pieces of ID information received, outputs the selected ID information and the received advertisement data to the printer, and causes the printer to generate an advertising material on which the selected ID information and advertisement data are printed. The pieces of ID information having different values are printed on the advertising material.

Abstract: An advertisement system issues a flyer by using a printer through communication between a tablet terminal and a posting server. The tablet terminal detects a current position and transmits current position information indicating the detected current position to the posting server. The posting server receives the current position information from the tablet terminal, and selects advertisement images based on the current position indicated by the received current position information from a plurality of advertisement images acquired from advertisers. The posting server then creates print data involved in printing the selected advertisement images, and transmits the created print data to the tablet terminal. The tablet terminal receives the print data and causes the printer to execute printing based on the received print data.

Abstract: A print data generating device generates print data printable by a printing device including a feeding unit which feeds continuous forms paper in a scanning direction, a line head which performs printing on the continuous forms paper, a cutting unit downstream of the line head in the scanning direction that cuts the continuous forms paper, and a direction change execution unit which executes direction change processing of changing the direction in which the print image is printed. The print direction of a print image is changed in such a way that that an area of overlap between the image arrangement area and the print area in the acceleration/deceleration zone becomes smaller when the image arrangement area and the print area in the acceleration/deceleration zone overlap with each other both in cases where the direction change processing is executed and where the direction change processing is not executed.

Abstract: A print data generating device generates print data printable by a printing device including a feeding unit which feeds continuous forms paper in a scanning direction, a line head which performs print processing on the continuous forms paper fed in the scanning direction, a cutting unit downstream of the line head in the scanning direction that cuts the continuous forms paper, and a direction change execution which executes direction change processing of changing the direction in which the print image is printed by 180 degrees. The print direction of a print image is changed in such a way that an image arrangement area on the print image of the print data, and a print area where the print processing is carried out by the print head in a paper feed acceleration/deceleration zone at the time of cutting the print tape, do not overlap with each other.

Abstract: To provide a solution by which adjustment of the depth display of the image can be easily carried out by the user at will in a technique for forming a 3-D image from plural images, from the plural feed images, one feed image is extracted as the reference feed image, with an object recognition process being carried out to extract the object region having the prescribed characteristic features. The reference feed image IL is displayed on the display unit 108 together with the markers MK indicating the object regions, and the user selects one object region. A region that is similar in image content with the selected region is detected from each other feed image, with the images being shifted so that the regions overlap each other.

Abstract: To make it possible to print a binocular vision image that is suitably visible in 3D according to the width of the convex lens during printing.

Abstract: To provide a plan in which it is possible to prevent wasteful consumption of the lenticular lens, an image processing apparatus that forms a 3-D viewable image via a lenticular lens, wherein it has a suitability determination means that determines the suitability of the combination of the first feed image and the second feed image for the image for 3-D viewing based on the position relationship between the corresponding points of the first feed image and the second feed image having a parallax with respect to each other, and a means that notifies the user about the determination result obtained by the suitability determination means; here, the suitability determination means works as follows: when the first feed image and the second feed image overlap each other so that a pair of corresponding points are in agreement with each other.
