PRINTER - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18669070 titled 'PRINTER
Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes a printer that can print images and change the colors of light emission. The processor in the printer can detect colors in different regions of the image being printed and control the light emission unit accordingly.
- The printer has a printing unit for printing images.
- It includes a light emitting unit that can switch colors of light emission.
- The processor acquires the image to be printed and detects representative colors of different regions in the image.
- The light emitting unit changes colors based on the representative colors of the regions as the image is being printed.
Potential Applications: This technology could be used in commercial printing services, art studios, and graphic design firms to create unique and dynamic prints. It could also be used in advertising and signage to attract attention with changing colors.
Problems Solved: This technology allows for more creative and visually appealing prints by dynamically changing the colors of light emission based on the colors in different regions of the image. It adds a new dimension to traditional printing methods.
Benefits: - Enhanced visual appeal of printed images - Increased customization and creativity in printing - Potential for unique and eye-catching designs
Commercial Applications: The technology could be applied in the commercial printing industry for creating customized prints, in art studios for innovative art projects, and in advertising for attention-grabbing signage.
Questions about the Technology: 1. How does the processor detect representative colors of different regions in the image? 2. What are the potential limitations of this technology in terms of color accuracy and consistency?
Original Abstract Submitted
A printer having a printing unit that prints an image; a light emitting unit capable of switching colors of light emission; and a processor configured to: acquire an image to be printed from an external device; detect representative colors of regions by dividing the image to be printed by the printing unit into a plurality of regions; and control light emission of the light emitting unit, wherein the processor further configured to cause the light emitting unit to switch colors of the light emission based on the representative colors of the regions in order according to a printing progress of the image to be printed by the printing unit.
