Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of image forming technology, and in particular to an image forming operation method, device, electronic device and storage medium. Background Art
[0002] An image forming device is a device that forms images on recording media using the principles of imaging, such as printers, copiers, fax machines, multifunction image production and copying devices, xerographic printing devices, and any other similar devices. In practice, after an image forming device prints a certain number of jobs, color calibration is triggered to ensure image quality.
[0003] Specifically, in related art, an image forming device accumulates the number of prints. When the cumulative number of prints reaches a certain threshold, the device first pauses the current image forming process; then begins color correction; and after color correction is complete, the device resumes the image forming process based on the corrected color correction parameters.
[0004] However, when the cumulative print count of an image forming device reaches a certain threshold, the image forming device may be currently executing an image forming job. In this case, the current image forming job will be paused to perform color correction on the image forming device. This will cause the user of the current image forming job to wait for a long time, resulting in a poor user experience and reduced printing efficiency.
[0005] It should be pointed out that the information disclosed in the background technology section of this application is only intended to deepen the understanding of the general background technology of this application, and should not be regarded as an admission or any form of implication that the information constitutes prior art already known to those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention
[0006] In view of this, the present application provides an image forming operation method, device, electronic device and storage medium, so as to solve the problem in the prior art that in order to perform color correction operations on the image forming device, the current image forming operation will be paused first, which will cause the user corresponding to the current image forming operation to wait for a long time, resulting in a poor user experience.
[0007] In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides an image forming method, which is applied to an image forming device, and the method includes: executing a current image forming job; wherein the current image forming job is a multi-page job; determining whether a cumulative number of printed pages of the image forming apparatus satisfies a color correction condition, the cumulative number of printed pages being the total number of pages printed by the image forming apparatus after one color correction is performed; When the accumulated number of printed pages meets the color correction condition, a color correction operation is performed, wherein the color correction operation includes a data acquisition operation using an imaging component and a data processing operation not using an imaging component; When executing the data acquisition operation, pausing the current image forming operation; When the data processing operation is performed, at least one page of the current image forming job is performed according to original color correction parameters, wherein the original color correction parameters are color correction parameters before the color correction operation is performed.
[0008] In the embodiment of the present application, when executing the current image forming job, a determination is first made as to whether the cumulative number of printed pages of the image forming device satisfies the color correction conditions. When the cumulative number of printed pages satisfies the color correction conditions, a color correction operation is performed. When the image forming device performs a data processing operation, the current image forming job is executed according to the original color correction parameters. It is understood that during part of the color correction operation, the current image forming job can continue to be executed according to the original color correction parameters. This, to a certain extent, shortens the operation time of the current image forming job, thereby reducing user waiting time and improving the user experience.
[0009] In a possible implementation, executing at least one page of current image forming job according to the original color correction parameters includes: Perform at least one page of the current image forming job according to the original color correction parameters and the preset quantity; or At least one page of the current image forming job is executed according to the original color correction parameters until the color correction operation is completed.
[0010] In the embodiment of the present application, at least one current image forming job is executed based on the original color correction parameters and a preset number of operations; or at least one current image forming job is executed based on the original color correction parameters until the color correction operation is completed. It is understood that either the current image forming job can be executed for a preset number of operations or the current image forming job can be executed until the color correction operation is completed. To a certain extent, this shortens the operation time of the current image forming job, thereby reducing user waiting time and improving the user experience.
[0011] In a possible implementation, the method further includes: determining whether the image forming device has completed the color correction operation; After the image forming apparatus completes the color correction operation, the current image forming job is continued to be executed according to the corrected color correction parameters.
[0012] In the embodiment of the present application, a determination is first made as to whether the image forming device has completed a color correction operation. When the image forming device has completed the color correction operation, the image forming device is controlled to continue executing the current image forming operation according to the corrected color correction parameters. It is understood that when the image forming device has completed the color correction operation, the image forming device is controlled to continue executing the current image forming operation according to the corrected color correction parameters, thereby ensuring the quality of the current image forming operation.
[0013] In one possible implementation, The determining whether the cumulative number of printed pages of the image forming device satisfies the color correction condition includes: determining whether the cumulative number of printed pages of the image forming device matches a first preset number of printed pages; When the accumulated number of printed pages meets the color correction condition, controlling the image forming device to perform a color correction operation includes: when the accumulated number of printed pages matches the first preset number of printed pages, controlling the image forming device to perform a color correction operation.
[0014] In the embodiment of the present application, a determination is first made as to whether the cumulative number of printed pages of the image forming device matches a first preset number of printed pages. When the cumulative number of printed pages matches the first preset number of printed pages, the image forming device is controlled to perform a color correction operation. It is understood that the image forming device is controlled to perform color correction each time it prints the first preset number of printed pages, thereby ensuring the quality of the current image forming job.
[0015] In one possible implementation, The determining whether the cumulative number of printed pages of the image forming device satisfies the color correction condition includes: determining whether the predicted number of printed pages is greater than a first preset number of printed pages; The predicted number of printed pages is the sum of the number of printed pages of the current image forming job and a historical cumulative number of printed pages, wherein the historical cumulative number of printed pages is the total number of pages printed by the image forming apparatus after performing one color correction and before executing the current image forming job, and the historical cumulative number of printed pages is less than the first preset number of printed pages; When the cumulative number of printed pages meets the color correction condition, performing a color correction operation includes: when the predicted number of printed pages is greater than a first preset number of printed pages, determining whether a first print page number difference matches a second preset number of printed pages; and when the first print page number difference matches the second preset number of printed pages, performing a color correction operation; The first print page number difference is the difference between the first preset print page number and the accumulated print page number.
[0016] In an embodiment of the present application, a determination is first made as to whether the predicted number of print pages is greater than a first preset number of print pages. When the predicted number of print pages is greater than the first preset number of print pages, a determination is made as to whether the difference between the first number of print pages and the second preset number of print pages match. When the difference between the first number of print pages and the second preset number of print pages match, the image forming device is controlled to perform a color correction operation. It is understood that because the predicted number of print pages is the sum of the number of print pages for the current image forming job and the cumulative number of print pages in history, it is possible to infer whether a color correction operation will be performed during the execution of the current image forming job based on the predicted number of print pages. If it is inferred that a color correction operation will be performed during the execution of the current image forming job, color correction is initiated before the cumulative number of print pages reaches the first preset number of print pages. This ensures that the color correction parameters after each correction are not overused, thereby affecting image quality, while shortening the operation time of the current image forming job.
[0017] In a possible implementation, the method further includes: When the predicted number of print pages is less than or equal to the first preset number of print pages, determining whether a second print page number difference is less than the second preset number of print pages, the second print page number difference being the difference between the predicted number of print pages and the first preset number of print pages; When the second print page number difference is less than the second preset print page number, determining whether the image forming device has completed the current image forming job; When the image forming apparatus completes the current image forming job, a color correction operation is performed.
[0018] In an embodiment of the present application, when the predicted number of printed pages is less than or equal to a first preset number of printed pages, a determination is made as to whether a second print page difference is less than the second preset number of printed pages. When the second print page difference is less than the second preset number of printed pages, a determination is made as to whether the image forming device has completed the current image forming job. When the image forming device has completed the current image forming job, the image forming device is controlled to perform a color correction operation. It is understood that even if the current cumulative number of printed pages is less than or equal to the first preset number of printed pages, the image forming device can still be controlled to perform a color correction operation as long as the second print page difference is sufficiently small. In this case, because the image forming device performs a color correction operation between two image forming jobs close to the first preset number of printed pages, the user is not forced to wait, thereby improving user satisfaction.
[0019] In a possible implementation, when performing the data processing operation, performing at least one page of current image forming job according to the original color correction parameters includes: When the data processing operation is performed, the current image forming job is performed by the first print page number difference number according to the original color correction parameter.
[0020] In the embodiment of the present application, when the image forming apparatus performs a data processing operation, the image forming apparatus is controlled to execute the current image forming job for the first print page difference according to the original color correction parameters. It can be understood that controlling the image forming apparatus to execute the current image forming job for the first print page difference shortens the operation time of the current image forming job while ensuring the operation quality of the current image forming job to a certain extent.
[0021] In a second aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides an image forming device, comprising: A current image forming job execution module, configured to execute a current image forming job; the current image forming job is a multi-page job; a judging module, configured to judge whether a cumulative number of printed pages of the image forming apparatus satisfies a color correction condition, the cumulative number of printed pages being the total number of pages printed by the image forming apparatus after one color correction is performed; A color correction operation execution module is configured to execute a color correction operation when the accumulated number of printed pages meets the color correction condition, wherein the color correction operation includes a data acquisition operation using an imaging component and a data processing operation not using an imaging component; a pause module, configured to pause the current image forming operation when executing the data acquisition operation; At least one page current image forming job execution module is used to execute at least one page current image forming job according to original color correction parameters when executing the data processing operation, wherein the original color correction parameters are color correction parameters before executing the color correction operation.
[0022] In a third aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides an electronic device, including: processor; Memory; and a computer program, wherein the computer program is stored in the memory, and the computer program includes instructions, which, when executed by the processor, enable the electronic device to perform any one of the methods described in the first aspect.

[0031] 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.
[0032] It should be clear that the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0033] The terms used in the embodiments of the present application are for the purpose of describing specific embodiments only and are not intended to limit the present application. The singular forms "a", "an", "the" 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 otherwise.
[0034] It should be understood that the term "and / or" as used herein simply describes a relationship between associated objects, indicating that three possible relationships exist. For example, "A and / or B" can represent: A alone, A and B together, or B alone. Furthermore, the character " / " in this document generally indicates an "or" relationship between the associated objects.
[0035] To facilitate understanding, a specific application scenario is first exemplified below.
[0036] See also Figure 1 , is a schematic diagram of an application scenario provided by an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 As shown, this application scenario includes an image forming device 101. It should be noted that the image forming device described herein is merely an example and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this application. For example, image forming devices include, but are not limited to, printers, copiers, fax machines, scanners, and multifunction devices that integrate printing, copying, faxing, and scanning functions. Their function is to print images or text on imaging media.
[0037] In actual applications, after an image forming device prints a certain number of jobs, color correction is triggered to ensure image quality. Specifically, the image forming device accumulates the number of prints. When the cumulative number of prints reaches a certain threshold, the image forming device first pauses the current image forming job; then, the image forming device begins color correction. After color correction is complete, the image forming device resumes the image forming job based on the corrected color correction parameters.
[0038] It should be noted that, for current image forming devices, color correction is performed to ensure image quality after a certain number of prints. This color correction process typically involves printing a correction image, data acquisition, data processing, and parameter adjustment. Once the data processing and parameter adjustment are complete, the final correction results are reflected on the first image printed after the correction is completed.
[0039] For easier understanding, see Figure 2 , which is a flowchart of a color correction method provided in the related art. Specifically, it includes the following steps.
[0040] Step S201: When the cumulative number of printed pages meets the color correction condition, the image forming apparatus is controlled to stop the current image forming job.
[0041] The cumulative number of printed pages is the total number of pages printed by the image forming apparatus after performing one color correction.
[0042] Step S202: Control the image forming device to print the correction image.
[0043] In actual applications, the correction image is usually printed on paper or formed on a photosensitive drum or an intermediate transfer body (such as a transfer belt).
[0044] Step S203: Collect relevant data of the printed calibration image.
[0045] In the embodiments of the present application, data related to the printed calibration image is collected. Specifically, a sensor detects the characteristics of the printed calibration image. The sensor is a pair of "light emitting and light receiving" elements. The emitted light is reflected by the toner and then enters the light receiving element. The "emitted light parameters" are compared with the received light parameters to determine whether the parameters of the calibration image meet expectations.
[0046] Step S204: determining the corrected color correction parameters based on the relevant data of the corrected image.
[0047] In the embodiment of the present application, color correction parameters for the corrected image are determined based on relevant data from the corrected image. Specifically, if the parameters of the corrected image determined by comparing the emitted light parameters with the received light parameters do not meet expectations, a compensation value (i.e., color correction parameter) is calculated according to a preset formula and used to compensate for the subsequently printed image.
[0048] Step S204: controlling the image forming apparatus to continue executing the current image forming job according to the corrected color correction parameters.
[0049] For example, assume color correction is required to print 200 pages. When the user initiates printing, 190 pages have already been printed since the last color correction. This means that the correction process will begin after printing 10 more pages. If the current image forming job issued by the user is 20 pages, color correction will be performed halfway through the user's printing process (i.e., the image forming device first retrieves the correction image from memory, then forms it on the photosensitive drum or transfer belt, then the sensor measures the correction image, and then calculates color correction parameters). The image forming device then continues the current image forming job based on the corrected color correction parameters.
[0050] However, in the above process, in order to perform the color correction operation on the image forming device, the current image forming job will be suspended first, which will cause the user corresponding to the current image forming job to wait for a long time, resulting in a poor user experience.
[0051] To address the above issues, in an embodiment of the present application, when executing a current image forming job, a determination is first made as to whether the cumulative number of printed pages of the image forming device satisfies a color correction condition. When the cumulative number of printed pages satisfies the color correction condition, the image forming device is controlled to perform a color correction operation. When the image forming device performs the data acquisition operation, the current image forming job is paused. When the image forming device performs the data processing operation, the image forming device is controlled to perform the current image forming job according to the original color correction parameters. It is understood that during the portion of the process of controlling the image forming device to perform the color correction operation, the current image forming job can continue to be performed according to the original color correction parameters. This shortens the operation time of the current image forming job to a certain extent, thereby reducing the user's waiting time and improving the user experience. Specifically, this is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0052] See also Figure 3 , is a flow chart of an image forming method provided in an embodiment of the present application. The method can be applied to the image forming device mentioned above, such as Figure 3 As shown, it mainly includes the following steps.
[0053] Step S301: Execute the current image forming job.
[0054] In the embodiment of the present application, the image forming apparatus executes a current image forming job of a multi-page job.
[0055] Step S302: Determine whether the cumulative number of printed pages of the image forming apparatus meets the color correction condition.
[0056] In the embodiment of the present application, it is first determined whether the cumulative number of printed pages of the image forming device meets the color correction condition. As mentioned above, the cumulative number of printed pages is the total number of pages printed by the image forming device after performing one color correction.
[0057] For example, the cumulative number of printed pages is 100 pages, 200 pages, 320 pages, 411 pages, etc., and this application does not impose any specific restrictions on this.
[0058] Of course, those skilled in the art can also set different cumulative print page counts based on different levels of color correction. For example, simple color correction can be performed every 200 cumulative pages, and deep color correction can be performed every 1000 cumulative pages. Simple color correction only adjusts toner density; deep color correction can include adjustments to toner density, laser intensity, and imaging position, and this application does not impose specific limitations on this.
[0059] Step S303: When the cumulative number of printed pages meets the color correction condition, a color correction operation is performed.
[0060] In an embodiment of the present application, when the cumulative number of printed pages meets the color correction condition, the image forming device is controlled to perform a color correction operation. As described above, in actual application, the color correction operation specifically includes: retrieving a correction image from a memory → forming it on a photosensitive drum or transfer belt → measuring the correction image with a sensor → calculating color correction parameters.
[0061] It's understandable that the step "forming an image on a photosensitive drum or transfer belt → sensor measuring and correcting the image" requires the image forming device's imaging components, such as the transfer belt and photosensitive drum, to operate. Therefore, the image forming device cannot perform image formation at this time. However, the step "calculating color correction parameters" only requires the relevant processor to perform data analysis and calculations, and does not hinder the image forming device's image formation. Therefore, color correction operations can be divided into two categories: data acquisition operations that utilize imaging components and data processing operations that do not.
[0062] In one possible implementation, the color correction condition is a first preset number of printed pages. Specifically, it is determined whether the cumulative number of printed pages of the image forming device matches the first preset number of printed pages; when the cumulative number of printed pages matches the first preset number of printed pages, the image forming device is controlled to perform a color correction operation.
[0063] Exemplarily, if the first preset number of printed pages is 200 pages, it is determined whether the cumulative number of printed pages of the image forming apparatus is equal to 200 pages; when the cumulative number of printed pages is equal to 200 pages, the image forming apparatus is controlled to perform a color correction operation.
[0064] In an embodiment of the present application, the image forming device is controlled to perform color correction every time it prints a first preset number of pages, thereby ensuring the reliability of the color correction parameters and the quality of the image forming operation.
[0065] Step S304: When the data acquisition operation is executed, the current image forming job is paused.
[0066] As can be seen from the above, when the image forming device performs a data acquisition operation, imaging components such as a transfer belt and a photosensitive drum in the image forming device need to be occupied. Therefore, the image forming device cannot perform an image forming operation at this time.
[0067] Therefore, in the embodiment of the present application, when the image forming apparatus performs a data acquisition operation, the image forming apparatus is controlled to suspend the current image forming job.
[0068] It is understandable that when the image forming device performs a data acquisition operation, it is usually necessary to collect a correction image. Since the imaging components of the image forming device, such as the photosensitive drum and the developing roller, are used to form the correction image during this process, the image forming operation cannot be performed normally. Therefore, during this process, the image forming device is controlled to pause the current image forming operation.
[0069] Step S305: When the data processing operation is performed, at least one page of the current image forming job is performed according to the original color correction parameters.
[0070] In an embodiment of the present application, when the image forming apparatus performs a data processing operation, the image forming apparatus is controlled to perform a current image forming operation according to original color correction parameters, wherein the original color correction parameters are color correction parameters before the image forming apparatus performs the color correction operation.
[0071] In a possible implementation, when the image forming apparatus performs a data processing operation, the image forming apparatus is controlled to perform at least one page of a current image forming job according to the original color correction parameters and a preset number.
[0072] Exemplarily, the preset number is four sheets, and when the image forming apparatus performs a data processing operation, the image forming apparatus is controlled to continue printing four sheets of the current image forming job according to the original color correction parameters.
[0073] It should be noted that the remaining quantity of the current image forming job is greater than or equal to four sheets. When the remaining quantity of the current image forming job is less than four sheets, the image forming device is controlled to complete the current image forming job according to the original color correction parameters.
[0074] Of course, in a possible implementation, when the image forming apparatus performs a data processing operation, the image forming apparatus is controlled to perform at least one page of the current image forming job according to the original color correction parameters until the color correction operation is completed.
[0075] In an embodiment of the present application, when an image forming device performs a data processing operation, the image forming device is controlled to execute a preset number of current image forming jobs according to the original color correction parameters. This shortens the operation time of the current image forming job while ensuring that as many of the current image forming jobs as possible are processed according to the corrected color correction parameters. To a certain extent, this both shortens the operation time of the current image forming job and ensures the operation quality of the current image forming job.
[0076] In one possible implementation, after controlling the image forming device to execute a preset number of current image forming jobs according to the original color correction parameters, it is also necessary to determine whether the image forming device has completed the color correction operation; when the image forming device completes the color correction operation, the image forming device is controlled to continue executing the current image forming job according to the corrected color correction parameters.
[0077] It can be understood that after the image forming device completes the color correction operation, the image forming device is controlled to continue to execute the current image forming job according to the corrected color correction parameters, thereby shortening the operation time of the current image forming job while improving the operation quality of the current image forming job.
[0078] In the embodiment of the present application, when executing the current image forming job, a determination is first made as to whether the cumulative number of printed pages of the image forming device satisfies the color correction conditions. When the cumulative number of printed pages satisfies the color correction conditions, a color correction operation is performed. When the image forming device performs a data processing operation, the current image forming job is executed according to the original color correction parameters. It is understood that during part of the color correction operation, the current image forming job can continue to be executed according to the original color correction parameters. This, to a certain extent, shortens the operation time of the current image forming job, thereby reducing user waiting time and improving the user experience.
[0079] In actual applications, after the cumulative number of printed pages of the image forming device matches the first preset number of printed pages, further correction of the image forming device's color correction parameters will cause the image forming device to overuse the original color correction parameters, thereby reducing image quality. For example, the original color correction parameters after a single correction can ensure that the next 200 pages of printing meet the image quality requirements. However, according to the above solution, after the image forming device prints 200 pages, it will still use the original color correction parameters to perform the current image forming operation, thereby reducing image quality.
[0080] In response to the above problem, in one possible implementation method, it is first determined whether the predicted number of print pages is greater than the first preset number of print pages; when the predicted number of print pages is greater than the first preset number of print pages, it is determined whether the difference between the first number of print pages and the second preset number of print pages matches; when the difference between the first number of print pages and the second preset number of print pages matches, the image forming device is controlled to perform a color correction operation.
[0081] Among them, the predicted number of printed pages is the sum of the number of printed pages of the current image forming job and the historical cumulative number of printed pages; the historical cumulative number of printed pages is the total number of pages printed by the image forming device after performing a color correction and before executing the current image forming job; the historical cumulative number of printed pages is less than the first preset number of printed pages; the first print page number difference is the difference between the first preset number of printed pages and the cumulative number of printed pages.
[0082] For example, the first preset number of printed pages is 200 pages, the second preset number of printed pages is 3 pages, the historical cumulative number of printed pages is 190 pages, and the number of printed pages of the current image forming job is 20 pages. In this case, the predicted number of printed pages is 210 pages.
[0083] Furthermore, since 210 pages is greater than 200 pages, i.e., the predicted number of printed pages is greater than the first preset number of printed pages, the image forming apparatus is controlled to execute the image forming job. When the cumulative number of printed pages reaches 197 pages, the first print page count difference is 3 pages, i.e., the first print page count difference matches the second preset number of printed pages, and the image forming apparatus is controlled to execute the color correction operation.
[0084] In the embodiment of the present application, since the predicted number of print pages is the sum of the number of print pages for the current image forming job and the cumulative number of print pages in history, it is possible to infer whether a color correction operation will be performed during the execution of the current image forming job based on the predicted number of print pages. When it is inferred that a color correction operation will be performed during the execution of the current image forming job, color correction is initiated before the cumulative number of print pages reaches a first preset number of print pages. This ensures that the color correction parameters after each correction are not overused, thereby affecting image quality, while shortening the operation time of the current image forming job.
[0085] Furthermore, in one possible implementation, when the predicted number of print pages is less than or equal to the first preset number of print pages, determining whether a second print page number difference is less than the second preset number of print pages; when the second print page number difference is less than the second preset number of print pages, determining whether the image forming device has completed the current image forming job; and when the image forming device has completed the current image forming job, controlling the image forming device to perform a color correction operation. The second print page number difference is the difference between the predicted number of print pages and the first preset number of print pages.
[0086] It is understood that even if the current cumulative number of printed pages is less than or equal to the first preset number of printed pages, as long as the difference between the second number of printed pages is sufficiently small, the image forming device can be controlled to perform the color correction operation. In this case, because the image forming device performs the color correction operation between two image forming tasks close to the first preset number of printed pages, the user is not forced to wait, thereby improving user satisfaction.
[0087] In a possible implementation, when the image forming apparatus performs a data processing operation, the image forming apparatus is controlled to perform a current image forming job of the first print page number difference according to the original color correction parameter.
[0088] It can be understood that controlling the image forming device to execute the current image forming job of the first print page difference number can, to a certain extent, shorten the operation time of the current image forming job and ensure the operation quality of the current image forming job.
[0089] Corresponding to the above embodiment, the present application also provides an image forming device.
