CONTROLLING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM STORING PROGRAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240126485 titled 'CONTROLLING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM STORING PROGRAM

Simplified Explanation

The controlling apparatus described in the abstract is designed to optimize print processing in a printing apparatus by acquiring sheet information, deciding print speed based on that information, and controlling the printing apparatus accordingly. This system can handle mixed sheet types and apply a common print speed to all pages, improving efficiency and quality in printing operations.

  • Acquisition unit acquires sheet information of each page in job data
  • Decision unit determines print speed based on acquired sheet information
  • Control unit manages printing apparatus based on decided print speed and job data

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in various industries where printing operations are essential, such as publishing, advertising, packaging, and manufacturing.

Problems Solved

1. Efficient print processing for mixed sheet types 2. Improved quality and consistency in printing operations

Benefits

1. Increased productivity and reduced printing time 2. Enhanced print quality and accuracy 3. Simplified operation and management of printing apparatus

Potential Commercial Applications

"Optimizing Print Processing in Printing Apparatus for Enhanced Efficiency and Quality"

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art in this field is the use of print speed optimization algorithms in printing systems to improve performance and output quality.

Unanswered Questions

How does the controlling apparatus handle unexpected sheet types not included in the acquired sheet information?

The abstract does not specify how the system deals with unforeseen sheet types during print processing.

What is the impact of the decision unit's print speed determination on overall printing costs?

The abstract does not address the cost implications of the print speed decisions made by the decision unit.


Original Abstract Submitted

a controlling apparatus includes: an acquisition unit configured to acquire sheet information of each of a plurality of pages included in job data for executing print processing in a printing apparatus; a decision unit configured to decide a print speed in the print processing based on the sheet information acquired by the acquisition unit; and a control unit configured to control the printing apparatus based on the print speed decided by the decision unit and data generated from the job data and processible by the printing apparatus. even in a case where sheet types represented by the pieces of sheet information are mixed in the plurality of pages, the decision unit decides a print speed to be commonly applied to the sheet types of the plurality of pages.
