QR-Guided Color Processing Screen Selection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems require users to manually select between multiple processing steps for color measurement and correction, leading to operational complexity.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus that reads a two-dimensional code to automatically select between specifying a sample color or performing color matching, using a code reader, selection section, and screen controller to display appropriate processing screens based on the code information.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If a single computer is used to perform multiple kinds of processing on a sample color, then device complexity is reduced, but ease of operation deteriorates because the user has to manually select processing steps
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically determines and executes the appropriate processing based on the two-dimensional code content without requiring user selection. The computer performs self-service by autonomously deciding whether to execute color measurement, color matching, or other processing based on the code information, thereby maintaining low device complexity while significantly improving ease of operation
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the operational parameters by using different two-dimensional codes to indicate different processing types. By encoding processing type information in the code itself, the system dynamically adjusts which processing routine to execute, allowing a single computer to handle multiple processing kinds through parameter variation rather than through complex user interaction
2Reliability
If manual selection of processing steps is required, then processing accuracy can be controlled by user choice, but productivity deteriorates due to increased operation time
Solution Approach 1:
The appropriate processing type is predetermined and encoded in the two-dimensional code before the user even initiates the process. This preliminary action of pre-specifying the processing type in the code eliminates the need for user selection during operation, thereby maintaining processing accuracy while significantly improving productivity by reducing operation time
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses the two-dimensional code as feedback information to automatically determine the correct processing routine. The code provides feedback about what processing is needed, allowing the system to self-correct and self-direct without user intervention, thus maintaining accuracy while speeding up the process
