INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18443593 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE AND STORAGE MEDIUM

The patent application describes an information processing device that can determine the color to be printed as a spot color patch based on color information and inspection results.

The device includes an obtainer to obtain color information of a spot color patch and inspection result information.
A determiner then determines the color to be printed as the spot color patch based on the obtained information.
A print controller causes a printing device to print the image data and the spot color patch of the determined color.
The determiner can adjust the number of colors to be printed as the spot color patch based on the inspection result information.

Potential Applications: - Printing industry for accurate color reproduction - Quality control in printing processes - Graphic design for precise color matching

Problems Solved: - Ensures accurate color reproduction in printing - Improves quality control processes - Enhances color consistency in printed materials

Benefits: - Reduces color discrepancies in printing - Saves time and resources in color matching - Increases overall printing efficiency

Commercial Applications: Title: "Advanced Color Matching Technology for Printing Industry" This technology can be used in commercial printing services, graphic design firms, and packaging companies to ensure accurate and consistent color reproduction in printed materials. It can lead to improved customer satisfaction and cost savings for businesses.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does this technology improve color accuracy in printing processes? - This technology uses color information and inspection results to determine the exact color to be printed as a spot color patch, ensuring precise color reproduction.

Original Abstract Submitted

An information processing device includes an obtainer configured to obtain color information of a spot color patch targeted for a color difference inspection and inspection result information indicating a result of the color difference inspection for the spot color patch, a determiner configured to determine, among colors included in image data, a color to be printed as the spot color patch based on the color information and the inspection result information, and a print controller configured to cause a printing device to print the image data and the spot color patch of the color determined by the determiner. The determiner is configured to change the number of colors to be printed as the spot color patch based on the inspection result information on the colors included in the image data.
