ABNORMAL SOUND DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM, IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, ABNORMAL SOUND DIAGNOSIS METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18305835 titled 'ABNORMAL SOUND DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM, IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, ABNORMAL SOUND DIAGNOSIS METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a system for diagnosing the cause of abnormal sounds in an apparatus with multiple operating and driving units.

  • The system determines the occurrence of abnormal sounds by analyzing sound wave levels measured in different time periods.
  • It also collects data on the driving states of the various driving units during these time periods.
  • By comparing the driving states and the occurring states at different timings, the system identifies the specific driving unit responsible for the abnormal sound.
  • This system aims to provide a more accurate and efficient diagnosis of abnormal sounds in complex apparatuses.


Original Abstract Submitted

An abnormal sound diagnosis system for specifying a cause of abnormal sound in an apparatus that includes a plurality of operating units that perform a predetermined operation and a plurality of driving units that drive the plurality of operating units: determines occurrence of abnormal sound in a plurality of time periods, based on sound wave levels of sound occurring in the apparatus measured in the plurality of time periods; obtains driving states of the plurality of driving units in the plurality of time periods; and specifies a driving unit corresponding to occurrence of abnormal sound based on a plurality of comparison results corresponding to different timings, that are obtained by comparing the driving states and the occurring states obtained at the different timings in the predetermined operation.
