Display Segmentation for Print Defect Filtering
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional methods for checking print output defects in production printing are inefficient, making it difficult to identify and isolate specific state abnormalities or defects across multiple printed materials, as they lack detailed information and effective filtering mechanisms.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus with a display system that compares read results to reference data, highlights print jobs with abnormalities, and provides detailed abnormality type information, allowing for efficient identification and filtering of defective pages within the system.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If a conventional list display method is used to show checking results, then all print jobs can be displayed, but it becomes difficult to identify and filter specific defective printed materials among a large number of different printed materials
Solution Approach 1:
The display is segmented into multiple dedicated display areas: a first display area showing checking results in units of print jobs, a second display area showing only print jobs with abnormalities, and a third display area showing detailed page information and abnormality types. This segmentation allows users to view different levels of information simultaneously without overwhelming the interface, making it easy to identify defective materials while preserving comprehensive defect information.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent adds a dimensional filter by introducing a display that shows only print jobs with abnormalities (second display area). This creates an additional viewing dimension where users can focus specifically on defective items without sifting through all print jobs, effectively adding a filtering dimension to the information presentation.
2Loss of information
If detailed information about each print job is displayed, then comprehensive checking results are provided, but the interface becomes complex and difficult to navigate
Solution Approach 1:
The interface is divided into distinct functional areas: the first display area provides summary checking results by print job, the second display area filters to show only abnormal print jobs, and the third display area provides detailed page-level information and abnormality types. This segmentation allows comprehensive information to be presented in an organized, navigable structure rather than a single complex view.
Solution Approach 2:
Different parts of the display interface provide different levels and types of information quality: the first area provides job-level summary quality, the second area provides filtered abnormality quality, and the third area provides detailed page-level quality. Each display area is optimized for its specific purpose, allowing users to access detailed information where needed without cluttering the entire interface.

AI summary
An information processing apparatus includes circuitry configured to display a display screen. The display screen includes a first display or a second display, and a third display. The first display displays, in units of a print job, checking result information obtained by comparing a read result with reference data on an image to be formed on the recording medium. The read result is obtained by reading a recording medium having an image formed. The second display displays, among print jobs, only a print job including a page having at least one abnormality in the image formed on the recording medium based on the checking result information. The third display displays information about the page in the print job including the page having the at least one abnormality and abnormality type information indicating a type of the at least one abnormality present in the page.
