Abstract

A printed matter processing apparatus includes an acquisition unit that acquires image data of an environment in which a printed matter is set, a display unit, and a processor configured to, by executing a program, input the image data acquired by the acquisition unit, display how the printed matter is seen in a case where the printed matter is set in the environment on the display unit, by a composited image in which the printed matter is composited in the image data in accordance with a printing condition of the printed matter, and decide the printing condition of the printed matter by changing and displaying the printing condition of the printed matter in accordance with a user operation, and output the printing condition of the printed matter without outputting the image data.

Claims (53)

1. A printed matter processing apparatus comprising: a communication I/O interface that acquires image data of an environment in which a printed matter is set; a display unit; and a processor configured to, by executing a program: input the image data acquired by the communication I/O interface; display how the printed matter is seen in a case where the printed matter is set in the environment on the display unit, by a composited image in which the printed matter is composited in the image data in accordance with a printing condition of the printed matter; and decide the printing condition of the printed matter by changing and displaying the printing condition of the printed matter in accordance with a user operation, and output the printing condition of the printed matter to a printer without outputting the image data.

2. The printed matter processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the communication I/O interface acquires the image data by searching from a network.

3. The printed matter processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the printing condition includes at least one of a dimension, a color, a pattern, a font, or resolution of the printed matter.

4. The printed matter processing apparatus according to claim 2 ,

wherein the printing condition includes at least one of a dimension, a color, a pattern, a font, or resolution of the printed matter.

5. The printed matter processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the processor is configured to

estimate at least an appropriate dimension of the printed matter with respect to the image data of the environment from the input image data, and

display the printed matter on the display unit by compositing the printed matter in the image data using the estimated appropriate dimension.

6. The printed matter processing apparatus according to claim 2 ,

wherein the processor is configured to

estimate at least an appropriate dimension of the printed matter with respect to the image data of the environment from the input image data, and

display the printed matter on the display unit by compositing the printed matter in the image data using the estimated appropriate dimension.

7. The printed matter processing apparatus according to claim 3 ,

wherein the processor is configured to

estimate at least an appropriate dimension of the printed matter with respect to the image data of the environment from the input image data, and

display the printed matter on the display unit by compositing the printed matter in the image data using the estimated appropriate dimension.

8. The printed matter processing apparatus according to claim 4 ,

wherein the processor is configured to

estimate at least an appropriate dimension of the printed matter with respect to the image data of the environment from the input image data, and

display the printed matter on the display unit by compositing the printed matter in the image data using the estimated appropriate dimension.

9. The printed matter processing apparatus according to claim 5 ,

wherein the processor is configured to estimate the appropriate dimension based on a known dimension of a target object in the image data.

10. The printed matter processing apparatus according to claim 6 ,

wherein the processor is configured to estimate the appropriate dimension based on a known dimension of a target object in the image data.

11. The printed matter processing apparatus according to claim 7 ,

wherein the processor is configured to estimate the appropriate dimension based on a known dimension of a target object in the image data.

12. The printed matter processing apparatus according to claim 8 ,

wherein the processor is configured to estimate the appropriate dimension based on a known dimension of a target object in the image data.

13. The printed matter processing apparatus according to claim 5 ,

wherein the processor is configured to estimate the appropriate dimension from the image data using a machine learning model.

14. The printed matter processing apparatus according to claim 6 ,

wherein the processor is configured to estimate the appropriate dimension from the image data using a machine learning model.

15. The printed matter processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the processor is further configured to

adjust and display a parameter including at least one of a hue, saturation, or brightness for the entire composited image as a target on the display unit in accordance with the user operation, and

output the printing condition of the printed matter without adjusting the parameter.

16. The printed matter processing apparatus according to claim 15 ,

wherein the processor is further configured to

change and display the printing condition of the printed matter after adjusting the parameter in accordance with the user operation, and

output the printing condition after change to a printer without adjusting the parameter.

17. The printed matter processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the communication I/O interface acquires picture data of the environment as the image data.

18. The printed matter processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the communication I/O interface acquires image data of another environment similar to the environment in a case where the image data of the environment is not present.

19. The printed matter processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the printed matter is any of a posted matter, a wallpaper, a poster, or a cover.

20. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process, the process comprising:

inputting image data of an environment in which a printed matter is set;

displaying how the printed matter is seen in a case where the printed matter is set in the environment on a display unit, by a composited image in which the printed matter is composited in the image data in accordance with a printing condition of the printed matter; and

deciding the printing condition of the printed matter by changing and displaying the printing condition of the printed matter in accordance with a user operation, and outputting the printing condition of the printed matter to a printer without outputting the image data.
