INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, AND WORK ESTIMATING METHOD THAT ALLOWS OBJECTIVE DETERMINATION OF ESTIMATION OF WORK RELATED TO PRINTING - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17956737 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, AND WORK ESTIMATING METHOD THAT ALLOWS OBJECTIVE DETERMINATION OF ESTIMATION OF WORK RELATED TO PRINTING
Simplified Explanation
The information processing apparatus described in the patent application enables the objective determination of an estimation of work related to printing.
- Data acquiring unit acquires a job for estimation.
- Unit estimating unit calculates an estimation of the work for each specific unit of the job.
- Entire estimating unit estimates and updates the work estimation for the entire job in real time.
- Estimation presenting unit presents the calculated work estimation in real time.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in printing businesses to accurately estimate the amount of work required for each job in real time, allowing for better resource allocation and scheduling.
Problems Solved
This technology solves the problem of inaccuracies in estimating printing work, leading to more efficient and cost-effective operations for printing companies.
Benefits

Original Abstract Submitted
Provided is an information processing apparatus that enables an objective determination of an estimation of work related to printing. A data acquiring unit acquires a job for estimation. A unit estimating unit calculates an estimation of the work for each specific unit of the job acquired by the data acquiring unit. An entire estimating unit estimates and updates the estimation of the work for the entire job in real time based on the estimation of the work for the specific unit at the time calculated by the unit estimating unit. An estimation presenting unit presents the estimation of the work calculated by the entire estimating unit in real time.
