Data Processor Image Legibility Print Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional technologies for printing Web pages result in images being reduced in size, making them difficult to discern in printed form, as they are printed at smaller sizes without adequate enlargement, leading to unclear and illegible results.
Innovation Solution
A data processing program that acquires the original image size and layout image size, determines if the original image is larger, and generates a print instruction to print the original image at a larger size than the layout image, ensuring clearer and more legible printed results.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of stationary object
If images are reduced in size to fit within defined layout areas, then the layout fits the display area, but the printed images become difficult to discern and illegible
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary analysis by acquiring both the layout image size and original image size before printing, compares these dimensions, and determines in advance whether the original image should be printed at its full size. This preliminary comparison action allows the system to prepare appropriate print instructions that ensure image legibility while respecting layout constraints.
Solution Approach 2:
The printing system dynamically adjusts the print size based on the comparison between layout image size and original image size. When the original image is larger, the system generates print instructions to print at original size; when it fits within the layout, it prints at layout size. This dynamic adjustment resolves the contradiction between fitting layout areas and maintaining image legibility.
2Device complexity
If images are printed at reduced sizes to fit layout areas, then the printing process is simple, but the user's expectation for clearer printing results is not met
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically performs the size comparison and determines print targets without requiring user intervention. It acquires layout and original image sizes, compares them, and autonomously decides whether to print original images at their full size. This self-service approach maintains printing process simplicity while improving user satisfaction through better image quality.
3Ease of manufacture
If only layout image size is used for printing, then the printing process is straightforward, but the original image detail and clarity are lost
Solution Approach 1:
The system replaces the conventional mechanical approach of directly printing layout images with an intelligent decision-making process. It substitutes the simple layout-image-printing mechanism with a system that acquires original image data, compares sizes, and selectively prints original images when they provide better detail. This substitution prevents information loss while maintaining ease of manufacture through automated processing.

AI summary
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing a set of program instructions installed on and executed by a computer. The set of program instructions includes (a) acquiring a layout image size where the layout image is generated based on an original image data, the size of the layout image is specified by base data, and the base data represents graphical image in which the layout image is arranged and includes location data that specifies a location at which the original image data is stored, (b) acquiring an original image size, (c) determining whether the original image size is greater than the layout image size, (d) setting the original image as a print target when the original image size is greater than the layout image size, and (e) generating a print instruction instructing to print the original image set as the print target in a size larger than the layout size.
