PRINTING SYSTEM AND METHODS FOR CONFLICT CHECKING IN PRINTING OPERATIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240036777 titled 'PRINTING SYSTEM AND METHODS FOR CONFLICT CHECKING IN PRINTING OPERATIONS

Simplified Explanation

The abstract of this patent application describes a user interface that works with a conflicts engine and print driver to check and prevent conflicts between the attributes related to job settings of a print job. The constraints, defined by the printing device, limit what can be printed. The operator selects job settings through the user interface, and the attributes related to these settings are determined. The constraints are adjusted based on the values of the attributes, and potential conflicts are determined using the adjusted constraints and a property of the print job.

  • The user interface works with a conflicts engine and print driver to prevent conflicts in print jobs.
  • Constraints defined by the printing device limit what can be printed.
  • The operator selects job settings through the user interface.
  • Attributes related to the job settings are determined.
  • Constraints are adjusted based on the attribute values.
  • Potential conflicts are determined using the adjusted constraints and a property of the print job.

Potential Applications:

  • Printers and printing devices that require conflict prevention and checking.
  • Print job management systems that need to ensure job settings do not conflict.

Problems Solved:

  • Preventing conflicts between attributes related to job settings in print jobs.
  • Ensuring that the selected job settings do not violate the constraints defined by the printing device.

Benefits:

  • Improved print job management by preventing conflicts and ensuring adherence to constraints.
  • Reduction in wasted resources and time by avoiding print job failures due to conflicts.
  • Enhanced user experience through a user interface that helps prevent conflicts and guides the operator in selecting appropriate job settings.


Original Abstract Submitted

a user interface works with a conflicts engine and print driver to check and prevent conflicts between the attributes related to job settings of a print job. constraints are defined by the printing device. these constraints put limits on what can be printed. job settings are selected for the print job by the operator using a user interface. attributes related to the job settings are determined. constraints are adjusted by values for the attributes. potential conflicts are determined using the adjusted constraints and a property of the print job.
