Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A design management apparatus includes a calculation unit and an output unit. The calculation unit receives multiple templates that are used to create designs and that include multiple character strings serving as predetermined samples to calculate a score for each character string in each template, which concerns a subject of the template and which corresponds to a size of the character string. The output unit receives information indicating a search subject to output the template including the character string which corresponds to the search subject and the score of which meets an output condition.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A design management apparatus comprising: a calculation unit that receives a plurality of templates that are used to create designs and that include a plurality of character strings serving as predetermined samples to calculate a score for each character string in each template, which concerns a subject of the template and which corresponds to a size of the character string; and an output unit that receives information indicating a search subject to output the template including the character string which corresponds to the search subject and the score of which meets an output condition. 2 . The design management apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the calculation unit calculates the score normalized for every template. 3 . The design management apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the calculation unit varies the score of the character string depending on a degree of decoration of the character string. 4 . The design management apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the calculation unit varies the score of the character string depending on a degree of decoration of the character string. 5 . The design management apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the score is increased in proportion to the size of the character string, and wherein the output unit receives the character string indicating the search subject to output the template including the character string which coincides with the character string indicating the search subject and the score of which is higher than or equal to a reference value. 6 . The design management apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein the output unit preferentially outputs the template including the character string having a higher score. 7 . The design management apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein, among the plurality of templates including identical character strings having equal score values, the output unit preferentially outputs the template including the character string having a larger size. 8 . The design management apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein, among the plurality of templates including identical character strings having equal score values, the output unit preferentially outputs the template the size of which coincides with a specified print size. 9 . The design management apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of templates include a base template that is crated in advance and a derived template that is created by editing the base template. 10 . A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process comprising: receiving a plurality of templates that are used to create designs and that include a plurality of character strings serving as predetermined samples to calculate a score for each character string in each template, which concerns a subject of the template and which corresponds to a size of the character string; and receiving information indicating a search subject to output the template including the character string which corresponds to the search subject and the score of which meets an output condition. 11 . A design management method comprising: receiving a plurality of templates that are used to create designs and that include a plurality of character strings serving as predetermined samples to calculate a score for each character string in each template, which concerns a subject of the template and which corresponds to a size of the character string; and receiving information indicating a search subject to output the template including the character string which corresponds to the search subject and the score of which meets an output condition.
