IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM STORING IMAGE FORMING PROGRAM, AND IMAGE FORMING METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18188472 titled 'IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM STORING IMAGE FORMING PROGRAM, AND IMAGE FORMING METHOD

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an image forming apparatus that can generate second image forming data for defect analysis, where confidential data in the first image forming data remains invisible in case of a defect. The apparatus then processes the second image forming data and outputs defect analysis data based on the processing results.

  • Processor generates second image forming data for defect analysis
  • Confidential data in first image forming data remains invisible in case of a defect
  • Image forming processing is executed for the second image forming data
  • Defect analysis data is output based on the processing results

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in industries where image forming processes are critical, such as printing, scanning, and digital imaging.

Problems Solved

This technology helps protect confidential data during defect analysis in image forming processes, ensuring data security and privacy.

Benefits

- Enhanced data security - Efficient defect analysis - Improved privacy protection

Potential Commercial Applications

- Printing industry - Scanning technology - Digital imaging software development

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be the use of encryption techniques to protect confidential data during image processing and analysis.

Unanswered Questions

How does the apparatus ensure the invisibility of confidential data during defect analysis?

The abstract does not provide specific details on the techniques used to keep the confidential data invisible during defect analysis.

What types of defects in image forming processing can be analyzed using this technology?

The abstract does not specify the range of defects that can be analyzed using the generated second image forming data.


Original Abstract Submitted

An image forming apparatus includes a processor configured to generate second image forming data for defect analysis in which confidential data included in first image forming data is invisible in a case where a defect occurs in image forming processing of the first image forming data, execute the image forming processing for the generated second image forming data, and output defect analysis data corresponding to a processing result of the image forming processing executed for the second image forming data.
