INSPECTION SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING INSPECTION SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18356927 titled 'INSPECTION SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING INSPECTION SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation

An inspection system is described in this patent application. The system includes a storage unit that can store one or more inspection settings and one or more reference images. There is also a reception unit that can receive data for specifying a first inspection setting and a first reference image from the stored settings and images in the storage unit. Additionally, an inspection unit is included in the system, which can receive a scanned image obtained by scanning a print product. The inspection unit inspects the scanned image based on the first inspection setting and the first reference image specified by the data received by the reception unit.

  • The patent application describes an inspection system that can store inspection settings and reference images.
  • The system can receive data to specify the inspection settings and reference images to be used for inspection.
  • The system includes an inspection unit that can inspect a scanned image of a print product.
  • The inspection is performed based on the specified inspection settings and reference images.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Quality control in printing industry: The inspection system can be used to ensure the quality of printed materials by inspecting scanned images for any defects or deviations from the reference images.
  • Document verification: The system can be utilized to verify the authenticity of printed documents by comparing the scanned images with the reference images stored in the system.
  • Product packaging inspection: The inspection system can be employed to inspect the packaging of products, ensuring that they meet the specified standards and requirements.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Manual inspection limitations: The system eliminates the need for manual inspection of printed materials, reducing human error and increasing efficiency.
  • Consistency in inspection: By using predefined inspection settings and reference images, the system ensures consistent and accurate inspection results.
  • Time-saving: The automated inspection process saves time compared to manual inspection methods.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved quality control: The system helps to maintain high-quality standards in the printing industry by detecting and addressing any defects or deviations in printed materials.
  • Increased efficiency: The automated inspection process reduces the time and effort required for inspection, allowing for faster production and delivery of printed materials.
  • Cost savings: By minimizing the need for manual inspection, the system reduces labor costs and potential rework or wastage of materials.


Original Abstract Submitted

An inspection system includes a storage unit configured to store one or more inspection settings and one or more reference images, a reception unit configured to receive data for specifying a first inspection setting and a first reference image from among the one or more inspection settings and the one or more reference images stored in the storage unit, and an inspection unit configured to receive a scanned image obtained by scanning a print product and inspect the scanned image based on the first inspection setting and the first reference image specified by the data received by the reception unit.
