Image Quality Adjustment Resume Mechanism
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing information processing systems require restarting adjustment processing for image quality adjustment in printing, which involves repeating printing and setting of adjustment values multiple times, whenever the process is interrupted.
Innovation Solution
The system includes a processor that stores the adjustment value at the time of interruption and resumes the adjustment processing using this stored value once the interruption cause is resolved, eliminating the need to restart from the beginning.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If adjustment processing is interrupted and restarted from the beginning, then the system ensures complete re-adjustment of image quality, but the processing time and resource consumption increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by storing the current adjustment value and processing state before interruption occurs. When resuming, it retrieves these pre-stored values to avoid restarting from the beginning, thus reducing processing time while maintaining adjustment quality.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the parameter of adjustment processing by introducing a resume mode that accepts an interruption cause as input. Based on this parameter, the system dynamically decides whether to restart from the beginning or continue from the stored state, optimizing both reliability and time efficiency.
2Manufacturing precision
If adjustment processing is restarted from the beginning after interruption, then the system ensures consistent image quality standards, but energy consumption and resource usage increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by storing the current adjustment value and processing state before interruption occurs. When resuming, it retrieves these pre-stored values to avoid restarting from the beginning, thus reducing processing time while maintaining adjustment quality.
Solution Approach 2:
The system employs self-service mechanisms by automatically detecting the interruption cause and determining the appropriate resume strategy without requiring external intervention. This reduces unnecessary energy consumption from manual restarts while maintaining image quality standards through intelligent decision-making.
3Productivity
If the system stores and resumes adjustment values after interruption, then processing efficiency improves, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses copying by creating a snapshot copy of the adjustment state (adjustment value and processing state) at the point of interruption. This copy is stored and later retrieved to resume processing, improving efficiency without requiring complex state management mechanisms.
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces an intermediary component (storage unit for adjustment values and state) that mediates between the interruption event and the resume operation. This intermediary simplifies the complexity by providing a standardized interface for saving and restoring state, rather than implementing complex state management logic throughout the system.

AI summary
An information processing system includes at least one processor, wherein when adjustment processing of adjusting image quality of printing by repeating printing and setting of an adjustment value a plurality of times is interrupted during an execution of the adjustment processing, the processor causes a memory to store an interruption adjustment value that is an adjustment value at the time of interruption, and performs the adjustment processing using the interruption adjustment value stored in the memory after a cause of the interruption is eliminated.
