Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If conventional RIP simulation software is used to predict RIP time, then the predicted RIP time can be obtained, but it is difficult to rapidly identify specific sheets with problems and grasp the details of issues affecting RIP processing efficiency
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the RIP processing results by dividing them into individual sheet units. Each sheet's RIP time is calculated and displayed separately, allowing users to identify problematic sheets individually rather than analyzing aggregate data. This segmentation enables precise identification of which specific sheets cause delays in the overall RIP processing.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary component that acts as a bridge between the RIP processing system and the user interface. This intermediary processes the raw RIP time data, identifies sheets exceeding time thresholds, and presents them in a structured format that highlights problematic sheets. The intermediary translates complex processing data into actionable insights about specific problematic sheets.
2Loss of information
If detailed analysis of each sheet's RIP time is performed, then the specific problems can be identified, but the complexity of the system increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by providing different levels of information presentation based on user needs. The system displays summary information for all sheets and detailed information only for problematic sheets that exceed predefined time thresholds. This localized detail approach ensures complete information about issues is available where needed while keeping the overall system interface simple and manageable.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements partial action by focusing analysis resources only on sheets that are likely to be problematic. Instead of uniformly analyzing every sheet in detail, the system identifies sheets exceeding time thresholds and concentrates detailed analysis on those specific cases. This partial approach reduces overall system complexity while maintaining information completeness for problematic areas.

AI summary
A RIP simulation device that enables a rapid grasp of a part having a problem in RIP speed and a specific detail of the problem is achieved. While the RIP prediction screen is displayed on a display unit, the result display control unit causes the display unit to display a sheet number corresponding to a position that is on a line graph representing a predicted RIP time for each sheet and is being designated by an input operation unit. When a sheet number displayed on the display unit is selected by the input operation unit, the result display control unit causes the display unit to display an analysis result screen indicating an analysis result related to the page corresponding to the sheet number on the basis of the correspondence relationship between sheets and pages when print output is actually executed.
