INSPECTION SYSTEM, INSPECTION APPARATUS AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240114096 titled 'INSPECTION SYSTEM, INSPECTION APPARATUS AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME

Simplified Explanation

The present invention is an inspection system that includes a printing apparatus and an inspection apparatus. The inspection apparatus reads an image formed on printed matter, diagnoses the printing apparatus based on the scanned image, and provides a countermeasure to resolve any defects found in the printing apparatus. Once the countermeasure is executed, the inspection apparatus allows for a re-diagnosis of the printing apparatus.

  • Printing apparatus and inspection apparatus work together to inspect printed matter.
  • Inspection apparatus reads scanned image to diagnose printing apparatus.
  • Provides countermeasures to resolve defects in the printing apparatus.
  • Allows for re-diagnosis after countermeasure execution.

Potential Applications

The technology can be applied in industries where high-quality printing is crucial, such as packaging, labeling, and publishing.

Problems Solved

1. Ensures printing apparatus is functioning correctly. 2. Improves overall print quality and reduces waste.

Benefits

Original Abstract Submitted

the present invention provides an inspection system comprising a printing apparatus and an inspection apparatus that inspects a printed matter printed by the printing apparatus. the inspection apparatus obtains a scanned image by reading an image formed on the printed matter, diagnose the printing apparatus based on the scanned image, and in a case in which the printing apparatus is diagnosed as having a defect by the diagnosis, the inspection apparatus presents a countermeasure to be executed in the printing apparatus to resolve the defect. then, in response to the execution of the countermeasure in the printing apparatus, the inspection apparatus allows an instruction to re-diagnose the printing apparatus to be accepted.
