Information Processing System for Printed Matter Inspection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Inspecting entire printed matter with high accuracy is costly and inefficient, as it requires extensive resource allocation and high precision across all areas, including non-critical regions.
Innovation Solution
An information processing system that differentiates between high-level and low-level regions within printed matter, prioritizing higher accuracy inspection for critical areas used as final products while reducing inspection intensity for non-critical regions, thereby optimizing resource usage and cost.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If entire printed matter is inspected with high accuracy, then inspection quality is improved, but inspection cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by differentiating inspection accuracy across different regions of the printed matter. Critical regions (containing final product information) receive high-accuracy inspection, while non-critical regions (margins, non-product areas) receive lower-accuracy inspection. This resolves the contradiction by maintaining high inspection quality where needed while reducing costs in less important areas.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the printed matter into multiple regions based on their importance: critical regions containing final product information and non-critical regions such as margins and non-product areas. This segmentation allows differential inspection strategies to be applied to different segments, improving overall efficiency while maintaining necessary quality standards.
2Reliability
If entire printed matter is inspected with high accuracy, then inspection reliability is improved, but resource allocation increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements local quality by allocating inspection resources differently across regions. Critical regions receive intensive resource allocation for high-reliability inspection, while non-critical regions receive reduced resource allocation. This resolves the contradiction by maintaining high inspection reliability where it matters most while optimizing overall resource usage.
3Stability of the object's composition
If uniform high-accuracy inspection is applied across all regions, then inspection consistency is improved, but inspection efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by establishing different inspection standards for different regions. Critical regions maintain consistent high-accuracy inspection, while non-critical regions use streamlined inspection processes. This resolves the contradiction by ensuring inspection consistency is maintained where required while improving overall inspection efficiency through regional differentiation.

AI summary
An information processing system includes a processor configured to acquire information related to a printed matter, and create an inspection setting, based on setting basic information including the information related to the printed matter, such that a high level region, which is a region including a portion that is used as a final product, is inspected with higher accuracy than a low level region which is the other region.
