INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18056636 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an information processing apparatus that allows users to set a layout pattern for perforation or crease processes on paper, as well as the number of aggregated pages on the print side of the paper. The apparatus includes a control unit that performs processing to avoid selecting a predetermined number of aggregated pages based on the layout pattern chosen.

  • The information processing apparatus allows users to set a layout pattern for perforation or crease processes on paper.
  • Users can also set the number of aggregated pages on the print side of the paper.
  • The control unit of the apparatus performs processing to prevent the selection of a specific number of aggregated pages based on the chosen layout pattern.

Potential Applications

  • Printing and binding processes: This technology can be used in printing and binding applications where users need to set specific layout patterns and the number of pages to be aggregated.
  • Stationery customization: It can be applied in the customization of stationery products such as notebooks or notepads, allowing users to choose the layout pattern and number of pages according to their preferences.

Problems Solved

  • In traditional printing and binding processes, users have limited control over the layout pattern and the number of aggregated pages. This technology solves this problem by providing users with the ability to set these parameters according to their specific needs.
  • The control unit's processing prevents the selection of a predetermined number of aggregated pages based on the chosen layout pattern, ensuring that users do not inadvertently choose incompatible settings.

Benefits

  • Customization: Users can customize the layout pattern and number of aggregated pages to suit their specific requirements, providing a personalized experience.
  • Efficiency: The apparatus streamlines the process of setting layout patterns and the number of aggregated pages, saving time and effort for users.
  • Error prevention: The control unit's processing prevents users from selecting incompatible settings, reducing the risk of errors and ensuring optimal results.


Original Abstract Submitted

An information processing apparatus includes a first setting unit configured to set a layout pattern for a perforation process or a crease process on paper in response to selection by a user, a second setting unit configured to set the number of aggregated pages laid out on a print side of the paper in response to selection by the user, and a control unit configured to perform first processing to avoid selection of a predetermined number of aggregated pages in the second setting unit based on a first layout pattern selected in the first setting unit.
