Printer Automated Combined Object Data Generation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current printers are unable to easily generate and print combined object data, which requires users to manually select and combine multiple object data fields, leading to inefficiencies in the printing process.
Innovation Solution
A printer system that includes a processor to receive and combine object data from an external device, allowing it to automatically select and generate combined object data based on predetermined configurations, thereby simplifying the printing process.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Extent of automation
If the printer manually combines object data based on CSV file, then the combined object data can be generated, but the user operation becomes complex and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The printer automatically identifies and combines object data based on predetermined conditions without requiring user intervention. The system serves itself by autonomously selecting single object data from the CSV file, combining them according to configured rules, and generating combined object data for printing, thereby eliminating manual configuration steps and reducing operational complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The printer is pre-configured with combination rules and conditions before operation. The system prepares the framework for automatic combination in advance, storing predetermined conditions that guide how single object data should be selected and merged. This preliminary setup enables automated processing during actual printing operations without requiring real-time user decisions
2Productivity
If the user manually selects and combines object data on the printer, then combined object data can be generated, but the printing process becomes slower
Solution Approach 1:
The printer autonomously performs the entire object data combination process without user interaction. The system automatically retrieves single object data from the CSV file, applies predetermined combination rules, generates combined object data, and prepares it for printing. This self-service automation eliminates manual selection and combination steps, significantly reducing the time required for data preparation and improving overall printing productivity
Solution Approach 2:
The automatic combination process enables continuous printing operations without interruption for manual data configuration. The printer maintains a continuous workflow by autonomously handling object data combination in the background, allowing the printing process to proceed without pauses for user intervention, thereby improving productivity and reducing total processing time

AI summary
A communication portion receives object data corresponding to an object. A processor receives a record including single object data and object names from an external device. The processor first stores the record and object names and first selects the object name having a predetermined configuration. The processor second selects, as at least two selected object data, at least two of the single object data, from the plurality of single object data included in the record, based on the configuration of the object name selected by the first selecting. The processor generates the combined object data that includes the at least two selected object data selected by the second selecting, as at least two setting object data. The processor second stores the generated combined object data. The processor prints a print image on the print medium, using the printing mechanism, based on the combined object data.
