A data transmission method for transmitting data from a transmission-source information processing apparatus to a plurality of information processing apparatuses, includes: selecting an information processing apparatus from among the plurality of information processing apparatuses functioning as a relay information processing apparatus relay-transmitting data to another information processing apparatus, in accordance with the number of information processing apparatuses; transmitting the data to the relay information processing apparatus; and relay-transmitting the data received from the transmission-source information processing apparatus to the another information processing apparatus.

Data transmission method, transmission-source information processing apparatus, data transmission system, and data transmission program

A document processing apparatus according to the present invention capable of changing a layout dynamically in accordance with data to be laid out, comprises

Document processing apparatus, document processing method, and document processing program

A document processing apparatus according to the present invention capable of changing a layout of a document dynamically in accordance with data to be laid out in the document, comprises

Document layout processing using templates

A layout process using content data as output and a template containing regions to which content data is assigned is provided. A document processing apparatus performing the process includes a priority order setting unit that independently sets, for regions to lay out contents data, priority orders by assigning contents data in the regions and a determining unit for determining the size of a region for which a first priority is set. The determining unit uses a template containing the regions and sizes of contents data to be assigned to regions, and determines a size and a position of remaining regions using a portion of the template to which the regions having higher priorities than the remaining regions not laid out and sizes of the contents data to be assigned to the remaining regions.

Document processing apparatus, method and program for layout of data contents assigned to regions on a template

An information processing technology for efficiently checking layout results for all data records is provided. Variable data input from a data source is assigned to partial display areas contained in a template to determine the size of each of the partial display areas based on the assigned variable data. Specified data for disposing the partial display areas at regular positions in a page is compared with a plurality of items of stored data assigned to the partial display areas to extract an item of data that matches a designated extracting condition. The extracted item of data is assigned to the partial display areas to display a first layout of the partial display areas in the page together with a second layout based on the specified data. The second layout based on the specified data is modified and displayed in accordance with a modification made to the first layout.

Information processing method and apparatus, and computer-readable program

There is disclosed an information processing apparatus comprising a setting device for setting, for each predetermined unit, attribute information for a character pattern to be printed in overlay with a form pattern, based on externally entered setting instruction information, a discrimination unit for discriminating whether separation information is set for each predetermined unit, separately from the attribute information and a print control unit adapted, when the discrimination unit identifies that the separation information is set, to generate a character pattern for the predetermined unit for which the separation information is set, based on the attribute information, and to cause overlay printing of the character pattern and the form pattern.
