[0024] In order to better understand the technical solution of the present application, the embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] It should be clear that the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in the field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0026] The terms used in the embodiments of the present application are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments, and are not intended to limit the present application. The singular forms "a", "said" and "the" used in the embodiments of the present application and the appended claims are also intended to include plural forms, unless the context clearly indicates other meanings.

[0027] It should be understood that the term "and / or" used in this article is only a description of the association relationship of associated objects, indicating that there can be three relationships. For example, A and / or B can represent: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone. In addition, the character " / " in this article generally indicates that the associated objects before and after are in an "or" relationship.

[0028] In the image scanning scenario, the user can set the scanning parameters on the terminal device, and then send the scanning job to the scanning device through the terminal device, and the scanning device scans the scanned file. Subsequently, the scanning device can send the scanned image to the terminal device for the user to view and save.

[0029] However, for high-resolution, large-size documents to be scanned, the following abnormal situations often occur, such as: the scanning operation cannot be performed, or the scanning operation can be performed but the terminal device cannot scale the scanned image after receiving the scanned image sent by the scanning device.

[0030] After research, it was found that this was caused by the failure to allocate the system memory space of the terminal device, and the failure to allocate the memory space was caused by the insufficient system space of the terminal device or exceeding the maximum allocable memory required by the terminal device. Specifically, the quality of the scanned image often depends on the resolution and the scan size, and high-resolution and large-size scanned images often require more memory space to process. Before the terminal device sends the scanning job to the scanning device, it is necessary to allocate memory space for receiving the scanned image. The size of the memory space to be allocated is related to the scanning parameters of the scanning job. The higher the resolution and the larger the size, the larger the memory space to be allocated. Then, in a possible scenario, due to the limited system memory, it is easy to fail to allocate enough memory space for high-resolution and large-size files to be scanned. Exemplarily, for a terminal device with a system memory less than 4G, when the memory space to be allocated exceeds 800M, it is easy to fail to allocate the system memory. At this time, the terminal device will terminate the current scanning task, will not send the scanning job to the image forming device, and an abnormal situation of scanning failure will occur. Or, in another possible scenario, the terminal device allocates enough memory space to receive the scanned data and sends the scanning job normally. After the terminal device receives the scanned data sent by the image forming device, the user wants to perform a zoom operation on the scanned data. However, performing the zoom operation will further consume the system memory, so the originally allocated memory space may not be sufficient to meet the memory requirements of the zoomed scanned image. For example, if a 100M-sized scanned image needs to be zoomed in by 400%, that is, zoomed in by 4 times, 1600M of memory space needs to be allocated. If the scan driver limits the allocation of system memory space to 100M, the originally allocated memory space is a maximum of 100M, so the originally allocated 100M memory space is insufficient to meet the memory requirements of the zoomed scanned image. At this time, the terminal device will not be able to normally implement the zooming process of the scanned data.

[0031] This application is filed to address the above issues.

[0032] After receiving a scan trigger operation issued by the user, the present application can create a memory mapping file based on the memory mapping mechanism, and use the memory mapping file to receive the scan data sent by the image forming device, thereby preventing the abnormal situation where high-resolution and large-size files cannot use the scanning function normally.

[0033] The technical solution provided in the present application can be applied to a terminal device, and specifically to a scanning driver of a terminal device. The terminal device can be connected to an image forming device, and control the image forming device to perform a scanning operation, and receive scan data sent by the image forming device. The terminal device can be, for example, a personal computer (PC), a mobile phone, etc. The image forming device can be, for example, a scanner, a printer, and a multifunction machine that integrates printing, copying, faxing, scanning, etc.

[0034] The technical solutions provided in this application are described in detail in the following examples.

[0035] Figure 1 The following is a flow chart of an image forming control method provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 As shown, the image formation control method provided by the embodiment of the present application may include:

[0036] 101. In response to a scan trigger operation on a target file, a terminal device creates a first memory mapping file.

[0037] In the embodiment of the present application, the terminal device may display a scan setting interface, and the user may set the scan parameters in the scan setting interface. The scan parameters may include, for example, the size, resolution, single-sided / double-sided scan, black-and-white / color scan, pixel value, paper size, file format, save path, file name, etc. of the target file to be scanned. After the scan parameter settings are completed, the user may trigger a scan operation on the target file to be scanned in the terminal device. In response to the received scan trigger operation, the terminal device may create a first memory-mapped file, and the first memory-mapped file may be used to store the scan data sent by the image forming device after the scan operation is completed.

[0038] Specifically, in one possible implementation, in response to a received scan trigger operation, the terminal device may directly create a first memory mapping file. In another possible implementation, in response to a received scan trigger operation, the terminal device may first determine whether its own system memory meets a preset condition. If the preset condition is not met, the first memory mapping file is created. If the preset condition is met, there is no need to create the first memory mapping file.

[0039] The step of determining whether the system memory satisfies the preset condition may be to determine whether the system memory is greater than a set threshold. When the system memory is greater than the set threshold, it is considered that the system memory satisfies the preset condition, and when the system memory is not greater than the set threshold, it is considered that the system memory does not satisfy the preset condition.

[0040] Alternatively, judging whether the system memory satisfies the preset condition may be judging whether the resolution of the target file to be scanned is greater than a resolution threshold, and whether the file size is greater than a size threshold. If the resolution of the target file is greater than the resolution threshold, and the file size is greater than the size threshold, it can be considered that the system memory does not meet the preset condition; if the resolution of the target file is not greater than the resolution threshold, and the file size is not greater than the size threshold, it can be considered that the system memory meets the preset condition. The values ​​of the resolution threshold and the size threshold can be preset according to the system memory.

[0041] Alternatively, determining whether the system memory satisfies the preset condition may be to call a target function, which may be an Application Programming Interface (API) function, and the target function may be used to allocate system memory for the scanned data of the target file. When the return value of the target function is null, it may be determined that the allocation of the system memory fails, and at this point, it is considered that the system memory does not meet the preset condition.

[0042] In an embodiment of the present application, the file size of the first memory-mapped file created can be determined according to the scanning parameters set by the user. Specifically, the terminal device can calculate the size of the required storage space according to the scanning parameters set by the user, and then, can create a first memory-mapped file of the corresponding size according to the size of the required storage space. Exemplarily, assuming that the scanning parameters of the target file are A3 (11.69 inch x 16.54 inch) size, color image, 1200 dpi resolution, and the save format is BMP, then the size of the storage space required can be calculated as: 1200 dpi x 11.69 inch x 3 (color 3 channels) x 1200 dpi x 16.54 inch = 796.6 M bytes. Alternatively, the terminal device can directly call a specific function and use the specific function to determine the file size of the first memory-mapped file to be created.

[0043] 102. The terminal device controls the image forming device to perform a scanning operation on the target file.

[0044] 103. The terminal device receives the scanned data of the target file sent by the image forming device.

[0045] After the first memory-mapped file is created, the terminal device may first determine whether the first memory-mapped file is created successfully.

[0046] When it is determined that the first memory-mapped file is created successfully, the terminal device may send a scan job to the image forming device to trigger the image forming device to perform a scan operation on the target file. Furthermore, the image forming device may send the scanned data to the terminal device.

[0047] When it is determined that the creation of the first memory mapping file fails, the terminal device may terminate the current scanning task.

[0048] 104. The terminal device writes the scanned data into the first memory mapping file.

[0049] In the embodiment of the present application, based on the basic principle of the memory mapping mechanism, when the physical memory is insufficient, the operating system can use the hard disk space to simulate the random access memory (Random Access Memory, RAM). It can be understood that in the embodiment of the present application, the first memory mapping file created by the terminal device uses virtual memory, which is equivalent to a memory block, and the terminal device can read and write scan data to the first memory mapping file through a pointer. It should be noted that the storage of the scan data by the first memory mapping file is temporary storage.

[0050] Through the method provided in the embodiment of the present application, the scanning operation of high-resolution and large-size files can be normally implemented without affecting the execution efficiency of the scanning operation, thereby solving the problem that the scanning operation cannot be executed due to insufficient memory space in the terminal device system in the scanning scenario.

[0051] Figure 2 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of another image formation control method provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 As shown, further, after writing the scanned data into the first memory mapping file, the image formation control method provided by the embodiment of the present application may also include:

[0052] 201, the terminal device determines whether a scaling operation on the scanned data of the target file is received. If received, execute step 203, if not, execute step 202.

[0053] In the embodiment of the present application, after the terminal device receives the scanned data of the target file sent by the image forming device, the user can view the scanned data through the terminal device, and can also perform a zoom operation on the scanned data. The specific zoom ratio of the zoom operation can be set by the user, for example, it can be set within a zoom range of 25% to 400%.

[0054] If the terminal device determines that it has not received the user's zoom operation on the scanned data within the preset time period, then it can be considered that the user currently has no zooming demand. At this time, step 202 can be executed to directly store the scanned file in the first memory mapping file to the target storage space. The target storage space can be, for example, a physical storage medium of the terminal device, such as a mechanical hard disk, a solid-state hard disk, etc. It should be noted that the storage of the scanned data in the target storage space is long-term storage. Furthermore, after the first memory mapping file is stored in the target storage space, the terminal device can delete the first memory mapping file. In this way, it can prevent the memory mapping file that has lost its function from continuing to occupy the hard disk space.

[0055] If the terminal device determines that a scaling operation of the scanned data is received by the user, then since the scaling operation requires resampling and adjustment of the original image data, memory consumption will be further increased, and therefore, the original first memory mapping file will not be sufficient to store the scaled scanned data. To prevent the scaling failure caused by the failure to allocate memory space, at this time, step 203 may be executed to create at least one second memory mapping file, and the at least one second mapping file may be used to store the scaled scanned data.

[0056] 202. The terminal device stores the scanned data in the first memory-mapped file into the target storage space, and deletes the first memory-mapped file.

[0057] 203. The terminal device creates at least one second memory-mapped file.

[0058] In an embodiment of the present application, the terminal device may first call a related function, such as a specific API function, to allocate system memory for the scaled scan data. If the system memory allocation is successful, it means that the system memory is sufficient to store the scaled scan data, and then there is no need to create a second memory mapping file. If the system memory allocation fails, it means that the system memory is insufficient to store the scaled scan data, and then at least one second memory mapping file may be created.

[0059] Specifically, the number of the second memory-mapped files created can be determined according to the scaling parameters set by the user and the maximum allocatable memory required by the terminal device. Exemplarily, the terminal device can calculate the size of the storage space required for the scaled scanned data according to the scaling parameters set by the user. Specifically, assuming that a scanned image of size 100M needs to be enlarged by 400%, that is, the scanned image is enlarged by 4 times, then its resolution (number of pixels) becomes 4 times of the original, and its data volume becomes 16 times of the original, and the data volume after enlargement is calculated to be 1600M. Further, the number of the second memory-mapped files to be created can be determined according to the size of the storage space required for the scaled scanned data and the maximum allocatable memory required by the terminal device. Among them, the size of each second memory-mapped file can be determined according to the maximum allocatable memory required by the terminal device. Specifically, it is determined according to the maximum allocatable memory required by the scanning driver of the terminal device. Assuming that the maximum allocatable memory required by the terminal device is 100M, at this time, a memory space larger than 100M cannot be allocated. Since the memory mapping mechanism is virtual memory, it is impossible to create a memory-mapped file larger than 100M. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present application, the size of the second memory mapping file can be set equal to the maximum allocatable memory required by the terminal device system. Therefore, if a 100M scanned image is enlarged by 400%, 16 100M second mapping files need to be created. It can be understood that when the size of the storage space required for the scaled scanned data does not exceed the maximum allocatable memory of the system, the number of second memory mapping files to be created is 1.

[0060] 204. The terminal device performs scaling processing on the scanned data of the target file, and writes the scaled scanned data into at least one second memory-mapped file.

[0061] In the embodiment of the present application, after the second memory-mapped file is created, the terminal device can read the scanned data of the target file from the first memory-mapped file, and scale the scanned data read according to the scaling parameters set by the user. Furthermore, the terminal device can store the scaled scanned data in at least one second memory-mapped file.

[0062] In a specific implementation, after the terminal device reads the scan data of the target file from the first memory-mapped file, it can first split the scan data according to the number of the second memory-mapped files to obtain at least one sub-scan data matching the number of the second memory-mapped files. Then, the terminal device can scale the at least one sub-scan data to obtain only one sub-target scan data. Furthermore, the terminal device can write the at least one sub-target scan data into at least one second memory-mapped file.

[0063] Through this implementation, the complete scan data is processed in slices, which can improve the processing efficiency of the scaling process and solve the problem of scaling failure caused by memory space failure.

[0064] Furthermore, in response to the user's operation of saving the scaled scan data, the terminal device can also read the at least one sub-target scan data from the at least one second memory mapping file, and then the terminal device can splice the read at least one sub-target scan data to obtain the complete scaled scan data. Then, the terminal device can store the complete scaled scan data to the target storage space for permanent storage.

[0065] Furthermore, after storing the scanned data after the complete scaling process in the target storage space, the terminal device may also delete the above-mentioned second memory mapping files, thereby preventing the memory mapping files that have lost their functions from continuing to occupy the hard disk space.

[0066] Through the above technical solution, the scaling operation of the scanned data of a high-resolution and large-size image can be normally implemented when the system memory of the terminal device is limited.

[0067] Figure 3 This is a complete implementation flow diagram of the image formation control method provided in the embodiment of the present application. Figure 3 As shown, in an exemplary implementation scenario, the image formation control method provided by the embodiment of the present application may include:

[0068] First, the terminal device may include a specific scanning application, which may display a scanning setting interface, and the scanning setting interface may include scanning parameter setting options, and the scanning parameter setting options may include, for example, setting options for the scanning source, file size setting options, resolution setting options, etc. Among them, the scanning source may include a platen and an automatic document feeder. The user may start the above scanning application in the terminal device and set various scanning parameters in the displayed scanning setting interface. Furthermore, the scanning setting interface may also include a scanning trigger button. After the scanning parameters are set, the user may also trigger the scanning operation of the target file based on the scanning trigger button.

[0069] Furthermore, in response to the user's scan trigger operation, the terminal device can determine whether the system memory is successfully allocated for the scan data of the target file. If it is successfully allocated, it is not necessary to create the first memory mapping file, and the scan data sent by the image forming device can be directly written using the allocated system memory. If it is not successfully allocated, the first memory mapping file can be created. In the case where the first memory mapping file is successfully created, the scan data sent by the image forming device can be written using the first memory mapping file. In the case where the first memory mapping file fails to be created, the current scanning task can be terminated.

[0070] Furthermore, the terminal device may detect whether an image zoom operation triggered by a user is received. If no image zoom operation is received, the terminal device may read the scan data temporarily stored in the first memory mapping file into a physical storage medium for permanent storage. Thus, the current scanning task may be terminated. If an image zoom operation is received, the terminal device may determine whether the system memory is successfully allocated for the scaled scan data. If it is successfully allocated, there is no need to create a second memory mapping file, and the scaled scan data may be directly written using the allocated system memory, and the scaled scan data may be permanently saved using a physical storage medium. If it is not successfully allocated, the terminal device may create a second memory mapping file. If the second memory mapping file is successfully created, the scaled scan data may be written using the second memory mapping file. If the second memory mapping file fails to be created, the current scanning task may be terminated.

[0071] Through the above technical solution, in a low-configuration device with a small system memory, high-resolution and large-size files to be scanned can use the scanning function and the scaling function of the scanned data normally, thereby improving the user experience.

[0072] Figure 4 A schematic diagram of the structure of the image forming control device provided in the embodiment of the present application. Figure 4 As shown, the image formation control device provided in the embodiment of the present application may include: a management module 41 , a control module 42 and an acquisition module 43 .

[0073] The management module 41 is used to create a first memory mapping file in response to a scan trigger operation on a target file.

[0074] The control module 42 is used to control the image forming device to perform a scanning operation on the target file.

[0075] The acquisition module 43 is used to receive the scan data of the target file sent by the image forming device, and write the scan data into the first memory mapping file.

[0076] In a specific implementation, the management module 41 is further configured to determine that the system memory of the terminal device does not meet a preset condition.

[0077] In a specific implementation, the management module 41 is specifically used to obtain scanning parameters of the target file, the scanning parameters including the size of the target file and the resolution of the target file; determine that the size of the target file is greater than a size threshold and the resolution is greater than a resolution threshold; wherein the size threshold and the resolution threshold are pre-set according to the system memory of the terminal device.

[0078] In a specific implementation, the management module 41 is specifically used to call a target function, where the target function is used to allocate system memory for scan data; and determine that the target function returns a first target value, where the first target value is used to indicate a failure in allocating system memory.

[0079] In a specific implementation, the management module 41 is also used to create at least one second memory mapping file in response to a scaling operation on the scan data of the target file; scale the scan data of the target file, and write the scaled scan data into at least one second memory mapping file.

[0080] In a specific implementation, the management module 41 is specifically used to obtain scaling parameters and the maximum allocatable memory required by the terminal device in response to a scaling operation on the scanned data of the target file; determine the number of files of the second memory mapping file to be created based on the scaling parameters and the maximum allocatable memory required by the terminal device; and create at least one second memory mapping file according to the number of files.

[0081] In a specific implementation, the management module 41 is specifically used to split the scan data into at least one sub-scan data; scale the at least one sub-scan data to obtain at least one target sub-scan data; and write the at least one target sub-scan data into at least one second memory mapping file.

[0082] In a specific implementation, the acquisition module 43 is also used to, in response to a storage operation on the scan data after scaling, read at least one target sub-scan data from at least one second memory mapping file; splice at least one target sub-scan data to obtain target scan data; and store the target scan data in the target storage space.

[0083] In a specific implementation, the acquisition module 43 is further configured to delete the first memory-mapped file and at least one second memory-mapped file.

[0084] Through the above technical solution, in a low-configuration device with a small system memory, high-resolution and large-size files to be scanned can use the scanning function and the scaling function of the scanned data normally, thereby improving the user experience.
