However, the use efficiency and cost control of printer consumables have become increasingly prominent. Therefore, how to accurately monitor the remaining amount of printer consumables and reduce printing interruptions and printing quality degradation has become an urgent problem to be solved.

[0041] Currently, it is usually necessary to manually check the usage status of printer consumables.

The specific computer device may include more or fewer components than those shown in the figure, or combine certain components, or have a different arrangement of components.

[0044] In one embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 is a flow chart of a consumables monitoring method provided in an embodiment of the present application, which can be applied to Figure 1 The computer device comprises the following steps:

[0045] S201, obtaining the consumable type of the consumable of the target printer.

[0046] Exemplarily, the types of consumables may include, for example, ink cartridges, toner cartridges, toner cartridges, ribbons, and the like.

[0047] Optionally, a communication connection may be established with a target printer, and then consumable information of the target printer may be acquired, and the consumable type of the consumable may be determined based on the consumable information.

[0048] Alternatively, the consumable type of the consumable of the target printer input by the user may also be obtained.

[0049] S202, obtaining usage status information of the consumables through the Internet printing protocol according to the type of consumables.

[0050] In one embodiment, a communication connection may be established with a target printer through an Internet Printing Protocol (IPP), and then the usage status information of the consumables may be obtained through the IPP protocol according to the type of consumables.

[0051] Optionally, a data monitoring template corresponding to each consumable type may be preset. After the consumable type of the target printer is acquired, the data monitoring template corresponding to the consumable type may be determined, and then the consumable usage status information may be acquired through the IPP protocol based on the data monitoring template.

[0052] Exemplarily, the data monitoring template may include monitoring indicators of consumables, such as the remaining amount of consumables, the usage of consumables, the storage address of the usage status information, etc.

[0053] S203, determining current remaining data of the consumables according to the usage status information.

[0054] Optionally, the usage status information may include, for example, a remaining value of the consumables or a remaining percentage of the consumables.

[0055] In one embodiment, the acquired usage status information may be cleaned and normalized, and abnormal data and redundant information in the usage status information may be filtered to obtain intermediate status information. The current remaining quantity data of the consumables may then be determined based on the intermediate status information.

[0056] Optionally, if the intermediate status information is the consumable remaining value, the consumable remaining percentage can be determined based on the consumable remaining value and the total capacity of the consumables, and then the consumable remaining percentage can be determined as the current remaining data of the consumables; if the intermediate status information is the consumable remaining percentage, the intermediate status information can be directly determined as the current remaining data of the consumables.

[0057] For example, if the intermediate status information is the remaining value of the consumables, the remaining percentage of the consumables can be determined based on the following formula: :

[0058]

[0059] In the formula, is the remaining value of consumables, The total capacity of consumables.

[0060] S204: Monitor the usage of consumables based on current remaining data and preset thresholds.

[0061] In one embodiment, a preset threshold can be set according to demand. If the current remaining data is less than the preset threshold, it is determined that the remaining consumables of the target printer are insufficient, and a prompt message can be generated and displayed to promptly prompt relevant personnel to replace the consumables in time.

[0062] Optionally, when the current remaining data is less than a preset threshold, the remaining days of use of the consumables can be determined based on the current remaining data and the consumption trend of the consumables of the target printer, and then prompt information is generated and displayed based on the remaining days of use. The consumption trend of the consumables is determined based on the historical remaining data of the consumables and the collection time of the historical remaining data, and the prompt information includes the remaining days of use of the consumables.

[0063] In the embodiment of the present application, the consumable type of the consumables of the target printer is obtained, and the consumable usage status information is obtained through the Internet printing protocol according to the consumable type, and then the current remaining data of the consumables is determined according to the usage status information, and the consumable usage is monitored based on the current remaining data and the preset threshold value, so as to realize automatic monitoring of the usage of the printer consumables, so as to timely discover the shortage of consumables, avoid premature replacement of consumables, improve printing efficiency and reduce costs. At the same time, obtaining the consumable usage status information based on the Internet printing protocol can also reduce the delay in the data transmission process and improve the reliability and real-time performance of consumable monitoring.

[0064] Based on the above embodiment, the above S204 includes the following steps:

[0065] When the current remaining data is less than a preset threshold, a prompt message is generated according to the current remaining data and the historical remaining data of the consumables; the prompt message is used to indicate that the remaining consumables of the target printer are insufficient.

[0066] In one embodiment, a preset threshold can be set according to demand. If the current remaining data is less than the preset threshold, it is determined that the remaining consumables of the target printer are insufficient, and a prompt message can be generated and displayed to promptly prompt relevant personnel to replace the consumables in time.

[0067] Optionally, the consumption trend of the consumables can be determined based on the historical remaining data of the consumables and the collection time of each historical remaining data, and the remaining use days of the consumables can be determined based on the consumption trend and the current remaining data, and then prompt information can be generated based on the remaining use days, the current remaining data and the type of consumables. The prompt information includes the remaining use days, the current remaining data and the type of consumables.

[0068] Alternatively, the machine learning model may be trained based on the historical remaining data of the consumables and the collection time of each historical remaining data, and then the current remaining data may be input into the trained machine learning model to obtain the remaining use days of the consumables output by the machine learning model, and then prompt information may be generated based on the remaining use days, the current remaining data and the type of consumables. The prompt information includes the remaining use days, the current remaining data and the type of consumables.

[0069] In an embodiment of the present application, when the current remaining data is less than a preset threshold, a prompt message is generated based on the current remaining data and the historical remaining data of the consumables, so that relevant personnel can be reminded to replace the consumables in time, thereby improving printing efficiency and reducing costs.

The prompt information includes the remaining days of use, the current remaining data and the type of consumables.

[0075] Alternatively, the consumption of consumables can be monitored based on the consumption trend and current remaining data. If it is determined that the consumption of consumables is abnormal (such as the consumables are suddenly consumed too quickly and do not conform to the normal consumption trend, etc.), an alarm message is generated to remind relevant personnel that there is an abnormality in the use of the printer.

[0076] Optionally, the warning information may also include suggestions for handling the exception.

[0088] Based on the time series analysis method, the consumption trend of consumables is determined according to the historical balance data of consumables and the collection time of each historical balance data.

[0089] Optionally, a suitable time series analysis model may be selected according to the characteristics of the historical balance data, and then the historical balance data of the consumables and the collection time of each historical balance data may be fitted based on the time series analysis model to obtain the consumption trend of the consumables.

[0090] In an embodiment of the present application, based on the time series analysis method, the consumption trend of the consumables is determined according to the historical remaining data of the consumables and the collection time of each historical remaining data, so that the remaining days of use of the consumables can be estimated based on the consumption trend, so that relevant personnel can be reminded to replace the consumables in time, thereby improving printing efficiency and reducing costs.
