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

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18077067 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an information processing apparatus and method for preventing unintended print results. It introduces a system that notifies the user when a spot color printing region, which is a color different from the process color, is included in a specific region to be printed. This specific region excludes the text region in the print data.

  • The system detects spot color printing regions in a print data.
  • It identifies a predetermined region to be printed, excluding the text region.
  • If a spot color printing region is found in the predetermined region, a notification is triggered.
  • The notification alerts the user about the presence of the spot color printing region.

Potential Applications

  • Printing industry: This technology can be applied in printing services to ensure accurate and intended print results.
  • Graphic design: Graphic designers can use this system to avoid unintentional spot color printing in specific regions of their designs.

Problems Solved

  • Unintended print results: The technology prevents the production of unintended print results by notifying the user about spot color printing regions.
  • Print accuracy: By alerting the user about spot color printing regions, the system ensures that the print output matches the intended design.

Benefits

  • Error prevention: Users are alerted to spot color printing regions, reducing the chances of unintended print results.
  • Time and cost savings: By avoiding print errors, the need for reprints and additional resources is minimized.
  • Design accuracy: The system helps maintain the accuracy of the design by preventing unintended spot color printing.


Original Abstract Submitted

Provided is an information processing apparatus, control method, and storage medium capable of preventing an unintended print result from being produced. The present executes making a predetermined notification in a case where a spot color printing region set to be printed in a spot color which is a color different from a process color is included in a predetermined region in a region to be printed based on print data, the predetermined region being a region other than a text region in the region to be printed based on the print data.
