METHOD OF ANALYZING STATE OF IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS BASED ON RUNNING SOUND - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240118652 titled 'METHOD OF ANALYZING STATE OF IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS BASED ON RUNNING SOUND

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a system that analyzes the operation history of an image forming apparatus and input information, performs various operations based on the analysis results, and controls notification conditions accordingly.

  • The system first analyzes the operation history of the image forming apparatus and input information.
  • If the result of the analysis meets certain conditions, a confidence level for the result is obtained through a second analysis operation.
  • If the confidence level is below a threshold, a message requesting further input information is transmitted.
  • The system then controls the notification conditions based on the input information received in response to the message.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in various industries where automated analysis and control of operations are required, such as in printing, scanning, and copying machines.

Problems Solved

This technology helps in improving the efficiency and accuracy of analyzing and controlling the operation of image forming apparatus by automating the process based on predefined conditions.

Benefits

- Increased efficiency in analyzing and controlling the operation of image forming apparatus. - Reduction in manual intervention required for monitoring and adjusting operation parameters. - Improved accuracy in decision-making based on analysis results.

Potential Commercial Applications

The technology could be utilized by manufacturers of image forming apparatus to enhance the performance and reliability of their products. It could also be integrated into software solutions for managing and optimizing printing and scanning processes.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be systems that analyze operation data of various types of equipment to optimize performance and detect anomalies. These systems may not specifically focus on image forming apparatus but share similarities in terms of data analysis and control operations.

Unanswered Questions

How does the system ensure the security and privacy of the input information during the analysis process?

The patent application does not provide details on the security measures implemented to protect the input information from unauthorized access or misuse.

What are the specific notification conditions that trigger the issuance of a confidence level for the analysis results?

The patent application does not elaborate on the exact criteria or thresholds that determine when a confidence level is required for the analysis results.


Original Abstract Submitted

a system performs a first analysis operation in which an operation history of an image forming apparatus and input information are analyzed, an issuance operation in which, in a case where a result of an analysis of the first analysis operation satisfies notification conditions, a second analysis operation in which a confidence for the result of the analysis of the first analysis operation is obtained, a transmission operation in which, in a case where the confidence is less than a threshold, a message requesting further input of input information is transmitted, and a control operation in which the notification conditions are controlled based on the input information obtained as a response to the message.
