Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of computer technology, and in particular to a method for calling an Internet of Things-controlled inkjet printer. Background Art

[0002] Against the backdrop of the rapid development of industrial digitalization, existing sheet or paper inkjet printing and coding technologies mostly rely on manual control of inkjet printers to complete operations. Operators need to manually edit the coding content on the printer's interactive interface to determine the target printing information and then complete the printing process. This traditional operating mode not only requires extremely high professional skills from the operator, but can easily lead to errors if not handled with care. In addition, due to differences in the operating methods of inkjet printers from different manufacturers, workers need to learn and master them separately. At the same time, the starting and stopping of the coding operation is completely dependent on manual operation. This not only makes it difficult for the printing effect to meet the expected standards, but also frequently causes errors in the printing content. It is also difficult for workers to accurately control the start and stop timing of the inkjet printer. The factory also needs to arrange special personnel to be on duty, resulting in a large amount of wasted labor costs. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a calling method for an Internet of Things controlled inkjet printer, aiming to significantly improve the convenience, accuracy and safety of inkjet printing operations, effectively manage printing tasks and reduce server performance overhead through connection pool technology, and effectively reduce the company's human cost investment and cloud server resource cost investment.

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions: A method for calling an Internet of Things controlled inkjet printer, comprising the following steps:

[0005] S1: Workers send coding instructions to the cloud-based command controller via their mobile phones, and assemble the sent content as a task unit;

[0006] S2: Identify whether the task has the connection pool information corresponding to the current printing task. If not, create a new connection pool; if so, reuse the connection pool as the communication center with the printer;

[0007] S3: Based on the communication center, the coding content instructions of the corresponding equipment factory are constructed into a producer module and sent to the cloud executor. The cloud executor identifies the sending category and assembles the sending content;

[0008] S4: The cloud executor sends the content to the corresponding manufacturer's inkjet printer terminal to start inkjet printing;

[0009] S5: The printer terminal feeds back the printing results to the consumer module in the cloud executor through the connection pool, and checks again whether the connection pool created in step S2 exists. If not, the printer marks the printing task as abnormal.

[0010] S6: Analyze the feedback content of the inkjet printer, and continuously write to the queue based on the connection pool created in step S2 to detect and record the inkjet printer printing.

[0011] Preferably, step S2 further includes the following steps:

[0012] S21: Obtain the printing task ID corresponding to the basic printing instruction information through the interface;

[0013] S22: query the printing machine information and printing content type information in the printing content according to the printing basic instruction information, and check whether there is a connection pool corresponding to the printing task ID in combination with the printing task ID;

[0014] S23: If the corresponding connection pool exists, it is known that the current printing task is in a long connection state, and it is determined whether the current printing is started, paused, or ended. When the current printing instruction does not conflict with the previous state, the printing content is assembled based on the connection pool and the process goes to step S3;

[0015] S24: If the corresponding connection pool does not exist, it means that the current printing task ID is a new printing instruction task. At this time, a connection pool is registered and put into the pool, and the current printing task ID is used as the initialization information. Then, the printing content is assembled based on the connection pool and enter step S3.

[0016] Preferably, in step S4, the inkjet printer terminal reports the current printing status and printing information of the inkjet printer every 3 seconds.

[0017] The present invention has the following advantages: workers do not need to process the printing content. By sending a request to the cloud through a mobile phone and assembling the sending content, the complex inkjet coding instruction package is replaced based on the connection pool. At the same time, the connection pool is used to monitor and record data during the printing process to ensure communication efficiency, thereby ensuring security. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
