Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing colorimetric systems do not provide notifications for incorrect line selection during colorimetry, leading to inefficiencies and increased work when errors are detected late in the process.
Innovation Solution
A colorimetric system that includes a communication section to receive color values and a comparison processing section to determine if a line colorimetry error has occurred, with the system transmitting error information to the colorimetric device for notification.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If the user performs colorimetry for color patches and checks for match between data items and patches, then the system can validate colorimetric data completeness, but the system cannot detect whether the user performed colorimetry for the correct line of color patches
Solution Approach 1:
The system compares the measured color values against reference color values for the specific line and provides feedback to the user about whether the measurement was performed on the correct line. This feedback mechanism enables detection of line colorimetry errors that would otherwise go undetected.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary comparison process that mediates between the raw colorimetric data and the final validation result. By comparing measured colors with reference colors specific to each line, the system acts as an intermediary to verify both data completeness and line correctness.
2Measurement precision
If the system performs comprehensive comparison processing to detect line colorimetry errors, then measurement accuracy improves, but processing time and system complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-storing reference color values for each line of color patches and preparing comparison criteria before the actual colorimetry process. This preliminary preparation enables efficient real-time comparison without requiring complex processing during measurement.
Solution Approach 2:
The comparison processing is segmented into distinct functional components: receiving color values, comparing with reference values, determining line colorimetry errors, and transmitting results. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized independently and simplifies the overall system architecture.
3Productivity
If line colorimetry errors are detected early through comparison processing, then rework is minimized and efficiency improves, but additional processing steps are required
Solution Approach 1:
The system provides immediate feedback about line colorimetry errors through the communication section, enabling users to correct mistakes promptly. This feedback loop ensures that errors are detected and addressed during the colorimetry process rather than being discovered later, minimizing rework and improving overall productivity.

AI summary
A colorimetric system includes: a communication section that receives the color value of a color for which colorimetry has been performed by a colorimetric device that performs colorimetry; and a comparison processing section that performs comparison processing between the received color value and the color value of a reference color. The comparison processing section decides whether a line colorimetry error occurred on a line under colorimetry. When the comparison processing section decides that a line colorimetry error occurred, the communication section transmits information about the line colorimetry error to the colorimetric device.
