embodiment bis-
The imaging cartridge that has filled monitoring unit is installed in imaging device, after powering on, main control unit in imaging device can send verification command to described monitoring unit, and whether the described monitoring unit of judgement responds to described verification command in certain sequential, if do not receive relevant response within the time of setting, described imaging device will report installed imaging cartridge illegal.
For this reason, the present embodiment proposes a kind of verification method of imaging cartridge, to solve this at proof procedure, described main control unit, the sequential of described monitoring unit response verification order is required to stricter situation.
A kind of imaging cartridge verification method that the present embodiment proposes, with the verification method described in embodiment mono-, difference is:
As shown in Figure 2, after the step S01 in embodiment mono-, before step S02, also comprise step S01 ', that is: described monitoring unit is made response for the first time to described verification command, to described main control unit, sends one group of random data;
Described random data is and the inconsistent data of described target data.After described monitoring unit responds to described verification command, the data that described main control unit can respond to described monitoring unit judge, whether the data that inspection institute receives of take are target data, if the data that inspection institute receives are not target datas, described main control unit, behind certain sequential interval, sends verification command to described monitoring unit again.In the present embodiment, communicating by letter between described monitoring unit and described third party's storage unit is to complete in described sequential interval.
Below in conjunction with Fig. 3, describe the specific works process that adopts the monitoring unit of verification method described in the present embodiment in detail.
First perform step S11, the imaging cartridge that described monitoring unit is housed is installed in imaging device, and powers on; S12, the verification command that described main control unit sends is for the first time waited for and received to described monitoring unit; After described monitoring unit receives verification command, execution step S13, can make response for the first time to described verification command, toward described main control unit, sends one group of random data;
After described monitoring unit execution of step S13, described main control unit can determine whether to described random data described target data, in step S13, what toward described main control unit, send is random data, target data not, therefore behind the sequential interval that is separated by certain, can to described monitoring unit, send verification command for the second time.
In described sequential interval, described monitoring unit execution step S14, sends described verification command toward described third party's storage unit;
After described third party's storage unit receives verification command, obtain described target data, and target data is sent to described monitoring unit, now described monitoring unit performs step S15: receive the target data that described third party's storage unit sends over;
Perform step subsequently S16, receive the verification command that described main control unit sends over for the second time; After the verification command that the main control unit described in described monitoring unit receives sends for the second time, execution step S17, makes response for the second time to described verification command, and described target data is sent to described main control unit.Described main control unit receives after described target data, completes the checking of described imaging cartridge.
In the present embodiment, described verification command for the first time and verification command are for the second time identical.
The process of mutual authentication between described main control unit and monitoring unit, often likely can be subject to extraneous interference, cause described main control unit to receive some wrong signals, cause authentication failed, for fear of this situation, at described main control chip, receive after wrong data, can again to described monitoring unit, send verification command, to guarantee the external interference in the situation that, still can be normally by checking.Because described main control unit requires stricter to the sequential of described monitoring unit response command, therefore use for the first time and send random data toward described main control unit in the present embodiment, create the condition that described main control unit sends verification command for the second time, thereby can utilize the sequential interval between twice verification command to go the communication between described monitoring unit and third party's storage unit.
The described verification command of transmission for the first time, to sending for the second time between verification command, has certain sequential interval, and described sequential interval is at least 2 milliseconds, therefore can be in described sequential interval, and execution step S02 and step S03.When described main control unit sends after verification command to described monitoring unit for the second time, namely after described monitoring unit receives verification command for the second time, execution step S04, the target data that described monitoring unit sends over described third party's storage unit is sent to described main control unit.
The verification method of a kind of imaging cartridge that the present embodiment provides, after step S01, before step S02, by described monitoring unit, to described main control unit, send one group of random data, utilize described main control unit first to the sequential interval sending for the second time between verification command, execution step S02 and step S03, can solve imaging cartridge proof procedure sequential is required to stricter problem.
