PRINTER - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240308241 titled 'PRINTER
The patent application describes a printer with a unique feature that involves a printing unit, a light emitting unit capable of changing colors, and a processor that controls the light emission based on the colors detected in the image being printed.
- The printer has a printing unit that prints images.
- It includes a light emitting unit that can switch colors of light emission.
- The processor acquires the image to be printed and detects representative colors of regions in the image.
- The light emitting unit changes colors based on the representative colors of the regions during the printing process.
Potential Applications: - This technology could be used in the printing industry to create dynamic and colorful prints. - It could also be applied in advertising and marketing for eye-catching displays. - Artists and designers may find this feature useful for creating unique and vibrant artwork.
Problems Solved: - Traditional printers may not offer the ability to change light emission colors during printing. - This innovation allows for more creative and visually appealing prints. - It simplifies the process of adding color variations to printed images.
Benefits: - Enhanced printing capabilities with dynamic color changes. - Increased creativity and customization options for users. - Improved visual impact of printed materials.
Commercial Applications: "Dynamic Color Printing Technology: Revolutionizing the Printing Industry" This technology can be marketed to printing companies, advertising agencies, and artists looking to add a unique touch to their prints. It has the potential to attract customers seeking innovative and visually striking printed materials.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the processor detect representative colors of regions in the image? 2. What are the potential cost implications of implementing this technology in printers?
Original Abstract Submitted
a printer having a printing unit that prints an image; a light emitting unit capable of switching colors of light emission; and a processor configured to: acquire an image to be printed from an external device; detect representative colors of regions by dividing the image to be printed by the printing unit into a plurality of regions; and control light emission of the light emitting unit, wherein the processor further configured to cause the light emitting unit to switch colors of the light emission based on the representative colors of the regions in order according to a printing progress of the image to be printed by the printing unit.
