Print Job Settings Interface for Abnormality Detection Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems face errors due to separate screens for setting abnormality detection and process actions in printed materials, leading to decreased productivity.
Innovation Solution
An information processing system that integrates settings for abnormality detection and process actions on a single screen, allowing for unified control of color density fluctuation and misalignment corrections, with options to continue, stop, or wait for user input, and adjustable threshold values.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If settings for abnormality detection and process actions are accepted on different screens, then the system can separate configuration tasks, but setting errors occur more frequently
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the abnormality detection setting screen and the process action setting screen into a single integrated screen. This allows users to configure both the detection parameters and the corresponding process actions together, ensuring consistency between the two settings and preventing configuration errors that would occur if they were separated across multiple screens.
2Reliability
If multiple settings are accepted on a single screen, then setting consistency is improved, but the screen complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The integrated screen is divided into distinct functional sections: an abnormality detection setting area for configuring detection parameters, and a process action setting area for defining actions to take when abnormalities are detected. This segmentation allows users to navigate and configure each aspect separately within the unified interface, maintaining consistency while preserving operational simplicity.
3Measurement precision
If comprehensive abnormality detection settings are implemented, then detection accuracy is improved, but processing time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system allows users to selectively enable only the abnormality detection items that are necessary for each specific printing job, rather than requiring all possible detection types to be active simultaneously. This partial action approach maintains detection accuracy for relevant parameters while reducing unnecessary processing overhead and saving time.

AI summary
An information processing system includes a processor configured to accept a setting of whether or not to detect a specific type of abnormality in a printed material output from a printing apparatus and a setting of a process in a case where the specific type of abnormality is detected in the printed material on an identical screen.
