IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS FOR CREATING IMAGE FORMING CONDITION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18607676 titled 'IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS FOR CREATING IMAGE FORMING CONDITION
Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes an image forming apparatus that calibrates image forming conditions based on pattern images and information correlated to image density.
- Detects first pattern image with a first number of tone levels
- Executes first calibration based on detection result of first pattern image
- Forms second pattern image with a second number of tone levels
- Acquires information correlated to image density
- Executes second calibration based on information, detection result of second pattern image, and first image forming condition
Key Features and Innovation:
- Calibration of image forming conditions based on pattern images
- Correlation of acquired information to image density
- Adaptive calibration process for improved image quality
Potential Applications:
- Printing industry for enhanced image quality
- Graphic design for precise color reproduction
- Photography for accurate image rendering
Problems Solved:
- Inaccurate image reproduction
- Lack of consistency in image quality
- Difficulty in calibrating image forming conditions
Benefits:
- Improved image quality

Commercial Applications: The technology can be utilized in:
- Printers and copiers
- Graphic design software
- Photography equipment
Questions about Image Forming Apparatus: 1. How does the image forming apparatus detect and calibrate image forming conditions? 2. What is the significance of acquiring information correlated to image density in the calibration process?
Original Abstract Submitted
An image forming apparatus forms a first pattern image of a first number of tone levels, executes a first calibration for generating a first image forming condition based on a detection result of the first pattern image, forms a second pattern image of a second number of tone levels, acquires information having a correlation to a density of an image, and executes a second calibration for generating a second image forming condition based on the information, the detection result of the second pattern image, and the first image forming condition.
