LIQUID SUPPLY SYSTEM, CONTROL METHOD, NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIUM STORING COMPUTER-READABLE INSTRUCTIONS, AND LIQUID SUPPLY DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18520887 titled 'LIQUID SUPPLY SYSTEM, CONTROL METHOD, NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIUM STORING COMPUTER-READABLE INSTRUCTIONS, AND LIQUID SUPPLY DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The processor of a liquid supply system corrects the amount of liquid delivered between tanks based on the change in liquid levels before and after circulation processing.

  • The correction amount is less than two times the circulation change amount.
  • The correction amount is the change in remaining liquid in the server tank or printer tank before and after circulation processing.
  • The tank of increase is where the remaining liquid amount increases after circulation processing.
  • The tank of decrease is where the remaining liquid amount decreases after circulation processing.

      1. Unanswered Questions
        1. How does the processor determine the correction amount?

The processor likely uses sensors to measure the liquid levels before and after circulation processing to calculate the correction amount.

        1. What happens if there is a malfunction in the correction processing?

If there is a malfunction, it could lead to inaccurate liquid delivery between tanks, potentially causing operational issues or wastage.


Original Abstract Submitted

A processor of a liquid supply system performs correction processing of performing a supply operation or a return operation and delivering a liquid of a correction amount from a tank of increase to a tank of decrease. The correction amount corresponding to less than two times a circulation change amount and is an amount of change in a remaining amount of the liquid in a server tank or a printer tank from before to after circulation processing of performing the supply operation and the return operation. The tank of increase is a tank, of the server tank and the printer tank, in which the remaining amount of the liquid increases from before to after the circulation processing. The tank of decrease is a tank, of the server tank and the printer tank, in which the remaining amount of the liquid decreases from before to after the circulation processing.
