Solution Overview
Problem
The existing color validation processes in commercial printing are cumbersome for users, requiring multiple applications and devices, leading to increased costs and decreased efficiency due to the need for frequent switching between tools for color measurement and validation.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus equipped with a web browser that acquires and displays color measurement results from a color measurement device, allowing for seamless integration of color measurement and validation operations within a single web-based interface, reducing the need for external apparatuses and improving user convenience.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If color validation is performed using external apparatus or cloud services, then color validation capability is provided, but user operation complexity increases due to needing to switch applications
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the web browser, color measurement device interface, and color validation processing into a single integrated system. The information processing apparatus performs color measurement result acquisition, color reference comparison, and validation determination all through one web-based interface, eliminating the need to switch between multiple applications or external apparatuses.
Solution Approach 2:
The web browser-based information processing apparatus serves multiple functions: it acts as a user interface for color measurement, a processing unit for color validation, and a display system for results. This multi-functional design allows users to perform complete color validation workflows within a single universal platform.
2Reliability
If multiple applications and devices are used for color measurement and validation, then comprehensive color validation is achieved, but operational complexity and time consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system merges color measurement acquisition, color reference comparison, and validation determination into a single integrated workflow within the information processing apparatus. This consolidation allows comprehensive color validation to be achieved through one unified process rather than multiple separate steps across different applications.
3Measurement precision
If color measurement and validation are performed in separate systems, then specialized functionality is maintained, but user convenience and efficiency decrease
Solution Approach 1:
The patent integrates the color measurement device interface and color validation processing unit within the same information processing apparatus that uses a web browser. This merging maintains the specialized color measurement functionality while providing a unified, convenient user interface that eliminates the need to switch between separate measurement and validation systems.
