Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of printing device control technology, and in particular to a method, system, product, device and storage medium for loading a printing job. Background Art

[0002] The existing printing job transmission method is that after the printing device completes a printing job, a new printing job is loaded from the hard disk of the front-end device, and the new printing job is printed after the loading is completed.

[0003] However, the existing job loading method has the problem of low efficiency. Specifically, the loading time of the print job is uncontrollable due to the operating status of the hard disk and the amount of data of the print job itself. When the printing device has completed a print job, the new print job cannot be loaded for a long time, resulting in a long idle time of the printing device when it cannot receive a new print job for a long time. Therefore, how to improve the efficiency of the printing device in loading print jobs has become an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the invention

[0004] In view of the above problems, the present application provides a method, system, product, device and storage medium for loading print jobs, so as to achieve the purpose of improving the efficiency of loading print jobs by the printing device. The specific scheme is as follows:

[0013] In a possible implementation, in the process of loading at least one print job having a target identifier in the preset job list into the memory, the method further includes:

[0014] For each of the print jobs in the loading process:

[0015] When a delete instruction for the print job is detected, the loading operation of the print job is terminated, the print job is deleted from the memory, and the target identifier of the print job in the preset job list is modified to a delete identifier.

[0016] In a possible implementation, when there is a print job with the unloaded mark in the preset job list, based on the difference between the loaded capacity and the preset memory capacity threshold and the data amount of each print job with the unloaded mark, at least one print job with the unloaded mark is loaded into the memory, including:

[0017] In the case that the data amounts are all greater than the difference, a print job with the earliest queue entry time and the unloaded mark is loaded into the memory;

[0018] When a sum of the plurality of data amounts is not greater than the difference, the print jobs of the respective data amounts constituting the sum are loaded into the memory.

[0019] In a possible implementation, controlling the printing device to execute the printing operation on the print job with the highest execution priority in the memory after completing the printing operation includes:

[0029] When there is no print job with the not loaded mark in the preset job list, the operation step of polling and detecting the running status of the printing device is performed; when there is a print job with the not loaded mark in the preset job list, based on the difference between the loaded capacity and the preset memory capacity threshold, and the data volume of each print job with the not loaded mark, at least one print job with the not loaded mark is loaded into the memory.

[0030] In a possible implementation, the print job loading system further includes:

[0031] A deletion module is used to, during the process of loading at least one print job with a target identifier in a preset job list into the memory, terminate the loading operation of each print job in the loading process upon detecting a deletion instruction for the print job, delete the print job from the memory, and modify the target identifier of the print job in the preset job list to a deletion identifier.

[0032] In a possible implementation, when there is a print job with the unloaded mark in the preset job list, the loading module is set to load at least one print job with the unloaded mark into the memory based on the difference between the loaded capacity and the preset memory capacity threshold and the data volume of each print job with the unloaded mark:

[0033] In the case that the data amounts are all greater than the difference, a print job with the earliest queue entry time and the unloaded mark is loaded into the memory;

[0035] In a possible implementation, the control module is configured to:

[0036] When the printing device completes the printing operation, determine whether there is a print job with the mandatory loading mark in the memory, and if so, set the execution priority of a print job with the mandatory loading mark that has the earliest loading completion time to the highest; if not, set the execution priority of a print job with the non-loading mark that has the earliest loading completion time to the highest;

[0037] The printing device is controlled to execute the printing operation on the print job having the highest execution priority.

[0038] A third aspect of the present application provides a computer program product, comprising computer-readable instructions, which, when executed on an electronic device, enables the electronic device to implement the method for loading a print job according to the first aspect or any implementation of the first aspect.

It can be seen that the present application improves the efficiency of the printing device in loading print jobs. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0050] The following describes the embodiments of the present application in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. The terms used in the implementation method section of the present application are only used to explain the specific embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to limit the present application.

[0051] The embodiments of the present application are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that, with the development of technology and the emergence of new scenarios, the technical solutions provided in the embodiments of the present application are also applicable to similar technical problems.

[0052] The terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present application and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and need not be used to describe a specific order or sequential order. It should be understood that the terms used in this way can be interchangeable under appropriate circumstances, which is only to describe the distinction mode adopted by the objects of the same attributes when describing in the embodiments of the present application. In addition, the terms "including" and "having" and any of their variations are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions, so that the process, method, system, product or equipment comprising a series of units need not be limited to those units, but may include other units that are not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or equipment.

[0053] The first aspect of the present application provides a method for loading a print job, such as Figure 1 As shown, the method for loading the print job includes:

[0054] S101. Perform polling detection on the operation status of the printing device, and when it is detected that the printing device performs a printing operation, obtain the loaded capacity of the memory of the printing device at the detection time, where the loaded capacity represents the total amount of data of each printing job loaded into the memory at the detection time.

[0055] It should be noted that, in actual application scenarios, the operating status of the printing device includes a printing status and a waiting status, wherein the printing status represents that the printing device performs a printing operation. The operating status of the printing device can be obtained by obtaining a printing device status monitoring plug-in through the driver of the printing device.

[0056] It should be noted that, in actual application scenarios, there are multiple implementation methods for obtaining the loaded capacity of the memory of the printing device at the detection time, and two examples are provided here:

[0057] Example 1: Implemented by querying the memory write log, including the following steps A1 to A2.

[0058] Step A1, when it is detected that the printing device performs a printing operation, the detection time is obtained, and step A2 is triggered.

[0059] Step A2, retrieve the memory write log, filter the print jobs that have been loaded and not deleted within the target period and their corresponding data volumes, and determine the sum of the obtained data volumes as the above-mentioned loaded capacity. The end time of the above-mentioned target period is the detection time obtained in the above-mentioned step A1, and the start time of the above-mentioned target period is a historical detection time adjacent to the detection time.

[0060] Example 2: implemented by querying a preset job list, including the following steps B1 to B2.

[0061] Step B1, read the job identification of each print job with unloaded tags and forced load tags in the memory, and trigger step B2.

[0062] Step B2, searching the preset job list for the data volume corresponding to each job identifier, and then determining each data volume as the above-mentioned loaded capacity.

[0063] It should be noted that in actual application scenarios, since the memory of the printing device is also used to execute the printing control program, if a large amount of memory is occupied, the printing control program will not be able to run normally, thereby affecting the normal operation of the printing device. Therefore, the present application is configured to obtain the loaded capacity of the memory of the printing device at the time of detection when the printing device is detected to perform a printing operation, so as to determine whether to load the print job into the memory through subsequent preset conditions, thereby improving the loading reliability of the print job.

[0064] S102: When the loaded capacity meets a preset condition, at least one print job with a target identifier in the preset job list is loaded into the memory, wherein the target identifier indicates that the print job is not loaded into the memory.

[0065] It should be noted that, in actual application scenarios, the above-mentioned loaded capacity meets the preset condition, indicating that loading at least one print job with a target identifier into the memory will not affect the operating reliability of the printing device. Therefore, the present application improves the loading reliability of the print job by configuring that when the loaded capacity meets the preset condition, at least one print job with a target identifier in the preset job list is loaded into the memory.

[0066] It should be noted that, in actual application scenarios, since the above step S102 is implemented when it is detected that the printing device is performing a printing operation, the present application configures that when the loaded capacity meets the preset conditions, at least one printing job with a target identifier in the preset job list is loaded into the memory, thereby preloading the unloaded printing job into the memory of the printing device during the printing operation of the printing device, so that compared with the prior art method of loading the next printing job after printing is completed, the present application improves the loading efficiency of the printing job.

[0067] It should be noted that, in actual application scenarios, if the loaded capacity does not meet the above preset conditions, step S103 is directly triggered, and step S101 is triggered when the printing device starts to print a print job with the highest execution priority in the memory.

[0068] S103: Control the printing device to execute a printing operation on a printing job with the highest execution priority in the memory when the printing operation is completed.

[0069] The present application is configured to obtain the loaded capacity of the memory of the printing device at the detection time when the printing device is detected to be performing a printing operation, and to load at least one printing job with a target identifier in the preset job list into the memory when the loaded capacity meets the preset conditions, so that compared with the prior art, the present application realizes that the unloaded printing jobs are pre-loaded into the memory of the printing device when the printing device is performing a printing operation. Subsequently, by controlling the printing device to perform a printing operation on a printing job with the highest execution priority in the memory when the printing operation is completed, the printing device does not need to wait for the temporary loading of the printing job from the hard disk after completing the printing operation of a printing job, but directly performs the printing operation on a printing job that has been loaded and has the highest execution priority in the memory. It can be seen that the present application improves the efficiency of the printing device in loading printing jobs.

[0070] In a possible implementation, the target identifier includes a forced loading identifier and a non-loading identifier, and when the loaded capacity meets a preset condition, at least one print job with the target identifier in the preset job list is loaded into the memory, including:

[0071] In the case where the loaded capacity is greater than the preset memory capacity threshold, it is determined whether there is a print job with a mandatory loading mark in the preset job list, and if so, a print job with a mandatory loading mark that is entered into the queue earliest is loaded into the memory; if not, an operation step of polling and detecting the running status of the printing device is performed;

[0072] In the case that the loaded capacity is not greater than the preset memory capacity threshold, it is determined whether there is a print job with a mandatory loading mark in the preset job list, and if so, a print job with a mandatory loading mark that is entered into the queue earliest is loaded into the memory; if not, it is determined whether there is a print job with a non-loaded mark in the preset job list;

[0073] When there is no print job with a not loaded mark in the preset job list, the operation steps of polling and detecting the running status of the printing device are performed; when there is a print job with a not loaded mark in the preset job list, based on the difference between the loaded capacity and the preset memory capacity threshold, and the data volume of each print job with the not loaded mark, at least one print job with a not loaded mark is loaded into the memory.

[0074] In one possible implementation, in order to ensure that print jobs with a forced loading flag are given priority in executing printing operations, when the loaded capacity is not greater than the preset memory capacity threshold and there are print jobs with a forced loading flag in the preset job list, it can be configured that after the print job with the forced loading flag that is entered into the queue earliest is loaded into the memory, the printing device operation status is polled again to avoid the pressure on the memory caused by loading multiple print jobs, thereby improving the operating stability of the printing device when performing printing operations on print jobs with a forced loading flag.

[0075] It should be noted that, in actual application scenarios, the above-mentioned preset job list is deployed in the hard disk, and is a data table for recording at least the execution order of the print job, the identifier of the print job, and the amount of print job data. After the hard disk receives the print job, each print job will be added to the preset job list in the order of the receiving time from the first to the last, and the print job that is not entered into the table for the first time will be marked as not loaded. An example of the preset job list can be shown in Table 1 below.

[0076] Table 1

[0077]

[0078] The sequence numbers in the above Table 1 represent the order in which the print jobs are queued.

[0079] It should be noted that, in actual application scenarios, the above preset memory capacity threshold is a lower limit that does not affect the normal operation of the memory.

[0080] It should be noted that, in actual application scenarios, the above-mentioned forced loading mark is a mark that indicates that the print job needs to be executed first. In actual application scenarios, if the loaded capacity does not meet the preset conditions, it indicates that continuing to load the print job into the memory will increase the risk of unstable operation of the printing device. Therefore, the present application reserves memory capacity by configuring a preset memory capacity threshold that indicates the lower limit value that does not affect the normal operation of the memory, so that when the loaded capacity is greater than the preset memory capacity threshold and the print job with the earliest entry time in the preset job list is loaded into the memory, the timeliness of the execution of the print job and the flexibility of adjusting the execution order are improved while ensuring the normal operation of the printing device.

[0081] In a possible implementation, the mandatory loading flag may be a flag added when the print job is entered into a table, which specifically includes the following steps C1 to C2.

[0082] In step C1, the hard disk receives a print job with a mandatory loading tag sent by the front end, and triggers step C2.

[0083] Step C2, the preset job list performs a table entry operation on the print job received by the hard disk, identifies the label content of the print job, and extracts the label content "forced loading" as the identifier of the corresponding print job.

[0084] In another possible implementation, the above-mentioned mandatory loading mark can also be a mark obtained by modification when the print job has been entered into the table, which specifically includes the following steps D1 to D2.

[0085] Step D1, the preset job list parses the job order adjustment instruction sent by the front end to obtain the name of the print job to be adjusted, and triggers step D2.

[0086] Step D2, the preset job list modifies the identifier of the print job having the print job name obtained in step D1 in the table into a forced loading identifier.

[0087] It should be noted that in actual application scenarios, since the mandatory loading mark indicates that the execution priority of the print job is higher than all other print jobs that have not been loaded and have not been executed. Therefore, the present application is configured to give priority to judging whether there is a print job with a mandatory loading mark in the preset job list when the loaded capacity is greater than the preset memory capacity threshold and when the loaded capacity is not greater than the preset memory capacity threshold, thereby improving the timeliness of the execution of the print job.

[0088] It should be noted that, in actual application scenarios, the fact that the above-mentioned loaded capacity is not greater than the preset memory capacity threshold indicates that the memory has sufficient capacity for storing print jobs. Therefore, the present application increases the number of print jobs loaded in the memory by configuring the difference between the loaded capacity and the preset memory capacity threshold and the data volume of each print job with the unloaded mark, thereby avoiding the risk of the printing device waiting or stopping due to the printing operation being executed too quickly (the data volume of a single loaded print job is too small, which will cause the printing device to execute multiple printing operations in a short time) and the number of print jobs loaded in the memory is too small. It can be seen that the present application improves the loading efficiency of print jobs through the above configuration.

[0089] In a possible implementation, in the process of loading at least one print job having a target identifier in the preset job list into the memory, the above-mentioned Figure 1 The method for loading the print job shown also includes:

[0090] For each print job that is in the process of loading:

[0091] When a delete instruction for the print job is detected, the loading operation of the print job is terminated, the print job is deleted from the memory, and the target identifier of the print job in the preset job list is modified to a delete identifier.

[0092] It should be noted that in actual application scenarios, since there is a situation where the user cancels the execution of a certain print job, the present application is configured to terminate the loading operation of the print job when a delete instruction for the print job is detected, and delete the print job from the memory, thereby achieving timely release of memory space, improving the stability of memory operation, and avoiding affecting the extraction accuracy of subsequent loaded capacity.

[0093] In a possible implementation, when there is a print job with a not-loaded mark in the preset job list, based on the difference between the loaded capacity and the preset memory capacity threshold and the data volume of each print job with the not-loaded mark, at least one print job with the not-loaded mark is loaded into the memory, including:

[0094] When the data amounts are all greater than the difference, a print job with the earliest queue entry time and a non-loaded mark is loaded into the memory;

[0095] When the sum of the plurality of data amounts is not greater than the difference value, the print jobs of the respective data amounts constituting the sum are loaded into the memory.

[0096] It should be noted that in actual application scenarios, this application is configured to load a print job with the earliest entry time and a non-loaded mark into the memory when the data amounts are all greater than the difference, thereby avoiding affecting the stability of memory operation while improving the timeliness of the execution of the print job.

[0097] It should be noted that, in actual application scenarios, this application configures that when the sum of multiple data amounts is not greater than the difference, the print jobs of each data amount constituting the sum are loaded into the memory, thereby avoiding affecting the stability of memory operation and improving the timeliness of the execution of the print jobs. At the same time, it also increases the number of print jobs loaded in the memory and improves the efficiency of the printing device in loading print jobs.

[0098] In a possible implementation, when the sum of the multiple data amounts is not greater than the difference, the implementation method of loading the print jobs of the data amounts constituting the sum into the memory may be:

[0099] like Figure 2 The figure shows a flowchart of loading multiple print jobs into memory. The specific steps are as follows:

[0100] Step S201, taking the data volume of an initial print job with an unloaded mark and the earliest entry time as the basic data volume, and adding the name of the initial print job to the list of jobs to be added, and triggering step S202.

[0101] Step S202: a print job with a not-loaded flag and whose entry time is later than the initial print job is determined as the current print job, and step S203 is triggered.

[0102] Step S203, judging whether the sum of the data volume of the current print job and the basic data volume is greater than the difference. If not, triggering step S204, and if so, triggering step S206.

[0103] Step S204: update the basic data volume to the sum of the data volume of the current print job and the basic data volume, and add the name of the current print job to the list of jobs to be added, and trigger step S205.

[0104] Step S205, updating the current print job to a print job with a not-loaded flag whose entry time is later than that of the current print job before the update, and triggering step S203.

[0105] Step S206 , according to the names of the print jobs recorded in the list of jobs to be added, the print jobs corresponding to the names are loaded into the memory.

[0106] In a possible implementation, controlling the printing device to execute a printing operation on a print job with the highest execution priority in the memory after completing the printing operation includes:

[0107] When the printing device completes the printing operation, it is determined whether there is a print job with a mandatory loading mark in the memory. If so, the execution priority of a print job with a mandatory loading mark that has the earliest loading completion time is set to the highest; if not, the execution priority of a print job with a non-loading mark that has the earliest loading completion time is set to the highest;

[0108] The printing device is controlled to execute a printing operation on a print job having the highest execution priority.

[0109] In order to facilitate the above Figure 1 The understanding of the method for loading the print job shown is explained here in conjunction with a possible implementation of the present application:

[0110] like Figure 3 Shown is a flow chart of a method for loading a print job.

[0111] Step S301, polling to detect the operating status of the printing device, and triggering step S302.

[0112] Step S302, determining whether the printing device performs a printing operation. If yes, step S303 is triggered, if no, step S301 is triggered.

[0113] Step S303, obtaining the loaded capacity of the printing device at the time of detecting the execution of the printing operation, and triggering step S304.

[0114] Step S304, determining whether the loaded capacity is greater than a preset memory capacity threshold, if so, triggering step S305, if not, triggering step S306.

[0115] Step S305, determining whether there is a print job with a mandatory loading flag in the preset job list, if yes, triggering step S307, if no, triggering step S301.

[0116] Step S306, determining whether there is a print job with a mandatory loading flag in the preset job list, if yes, triggering step S307, if no, triggering step S308.

[0117] Step S307, loading the earliest print job with a mandatory loading flag into the memory, and triggering step S309.

[0118] Step S308, determining whether there is a print job with a not loaded mark in the preset job list, if yes, triggering step S310, if no, triggering step S301.

[0119] Step S309, determining whether a delete instruction for the print job in the loading process is received. If not, step S311 is triggered, and if yes, step S312 is triggered.

[0120] Step S310, based on the difference between the loaded capacity and the preset memory capacity threshold and the data volume of each print job with a not-loaded mark, at least one print job with a not-loaded mark is loaded into the memory, and step S309 is triggered.

[0121] Step S311, controlling the printing device to execute a printing operation for a printing job with the highest execution priority in the memory when the printing operation is completed, and triggering step S301.

[0122] It should be noted that, in actual application scenarios, before triggering the above step S311, it is necessary to verify whether each loaded print job has been loaded. The verification process can be achieved by reading the content of each loaded print job in the memory and judging whether the content is complete. Specifically: Since the print job is composed of image data, it has row and height attributes, and when reading data by row, the number of reads (i.e., the number of rows) should be consistent with the height. The verification process can be to read the data of the print job by row, and record the number of rows read when the reading is completed, and compare the number of rows read with the attribute value of the height. If they are consistent, it indicates that the print job has been loaded. Otherwise, it indicates that the print job has not been loaded. At this time, the verification process needs to be repeated until the print job is loaded.
