As can be seen from the foregoing background art, in the related art, the print control apparatus converts a document to be printed with bolded characters into bitmaps, and the print driving apparatus changes the bitmaps into a large number of vector diagrams and then generates a print command, because the vector diagrams occupy a large space and have a large processing difficulty relative to the bitmaps, the print driving apparatus is burdened with the print commands corresponding to the large number of vector diagrams, has a high calculation amount, and is slow in printing speed.
In the technical scheme of the invention, when the printing control device converts the document to be printed with the bold characters into the bitmap, the bold characters of the document are displayed in a non-bold character form, so that the number of formed vector diagrams is greatly reduced, the number of corresponding required printing commands is greatly reduced, the calculation difficulty is reduced, and the printing speed is increased. On the basis, simple thickening processing is carried out on the non-thickened characters with the thickened marks in the intermediate file through a preset image processing algorithm, so that a large amount of increase of vector diagrams is not involved, and a large amount of printing commands are still not generated.
Through the technical scheme, the font thickening process in the intermediate file conversion process originally is cancelled, and the non-thickened fonts needing to be thickened and displayed in the intermediate file are thickened in the process of generating the printing language, so that a large number of vector diagrams and corresponding printing commands can be avoided, the data processing amount of the printing process is greatly reduced, and the printing speed and the user experience are improved.

[ detailed description ] embodiments
For better understanding of the technical solutions of the present invention, the following detailed descriptions of the embodiments of the present invention are provided with reference to the accompanying drawings.
It should be understood that the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the invention, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
the terminology used in the embodiments of the invention is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. As used in the examples of the present invention and the appended claims, the singular forms "a," "an," and "the" are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.
Open source systems (such as Linux systems) are gradually improved in ecology, and more users and developers of the open source systems are provided; for example, the winning numbers kylin, zhongkefand, etc. all began to adopt the Linux architecture. Such an operating system is usually based on a universal UNIX printing system (referred to as a CUPS for short), and in the CUPS printing implementation scheme, a print driver needs to call ghost script to perform intermediate file processing. Specifically, it is often necessary to transmit an intermediate file for converting a document to be printed into a PDF format or the like to a print driver apparatus, and the print driver apparatus may convert words in the document to be printed into a bitmap, which is in a PCL (bitmap font object) format recognizable by a printer.
In this way, during printing of normal characters (not bold), the print control device such as WPS transmits normal fonts, PDF stores normal fonts, and host Script converts the normal fonts into bitmap fonts (bit maps) and into PCL formats (bit map font objects) that can be recognized by the print driver.
However, in the processing of bold characters, the print control apparatus needs to perform border thickening on the bold characters, that is, to thicken all contour lines of the entire normal characters in the course of producing the PDF file, so as to obtain the bold characters. In this way, when the Ghost Script processes the PDF, the bold font obtained by the edge-thickening process is converted into a large number of vector descriptions, and the vector descriptions need to be obtained by combining a plurality of different vector graphics, and correspond to a plurality of print commands, so that the amount of data to be processed by the print driving apparatus is very large, which affects the printing speed.
In view of this problem, the technical solution of the present invention provides a new printing method based on the CPUS solution to increase the printing speed, and the following describes the technical solution of the present invention in detail through several embodiments and accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 shows a flow diagram of a print imaging method according to one embodiment of the invention.
As shown in fig. 1, a print image forming method according to an embodiment of the present invention is used in a print image forming system including a print control apparatus and a print driving apparatus, and the flow of the method includes:
in step 102, the printing control device detects whether the document to be printed has bold characters in response to the acquired printing command.
In the printing and imaging system, at least two parts of a printing control device and a printing driving device are included, a user can perform printing operation at a client, the printing control device arranged in the client can receive a printing command (for example, the user clicks printing operation in application software, and the printing control device can receive a corresponding printing command), and the printing control device responds to the acquired printing command and detects whether a document to be printed has bold characters.
And 104, when the document to be printed has the bold characters, the printing control device converts the bold characters into non-bold characters in the process of converting the document to be printed into an intermediate file.
If the bold characters exist, the bold characters are converted into the non-bold characters in the process of converting the document to be printed into the intermediate file, so that the intermediate file does not have the bold characters, the step of processing the bold characters is shifted out from the process of processing the intermediate file, and the bold characters do not need to be processed according to a host Script module carried by an operating system in the subsequent process of converting the intermediate file into the printing language, so that a large number of corresponding printing commands are avoided, the subsequent work of combining a printing driving device is facilitated, the workload of the whole printing imaging system is reduced, and the printing efficiency is improved.
step 106, the printing control device sets a bold mark for the non-bold character converted from the bold character in the intermediate file.
And 108, the printing control device sends the intermediate file carrying the thickened identifier to a printing driving device.
meanwhile, in order to enable the print driving apparatus to recognize the bolded characters in the subsequent steps, the print control apparatus may set a bolded flag for the non-bolded characters converted from the bolded characters in the intermediate file, and finally, the print control apparatus sends the intermediate file carrying the bolded flag to the print driving apparatus.
In step 110, the print driver determines whether the intermediate file has a bold mark.
Step 112, when the determination result is that the intermediate file has the bold mark, the print driving apparatus performs a bold processing on the non-bold character having the bold mark in the intermediate file according to a preset image processing algorithm in the process of converting the intermediate file into the print language.
After the print driving device receives the intermediate file, firstly, whether the intermediate file has a bold mark or not needs to be judged, if the intermediate file has the bold mark, the bold mark is shown to be in the intermediate file, so the bold marks can be identified, and a preset image processing algorithm special for thickening the words in the non-bold form is arranged in the print driving device, and the preset image processing algorithm does not need to convert the thickened font into a large number of vector descriptions according to a Ghost Script module carried by an operating system; namely, the technical scheme provided by this embodiment adds a custom image processing algorithm for performing thickening processing on non-thickened characters with thickening identifiers on the basis of a Ghost Script module of an operating system; therefore, the words with the bold marks can be bold by applying a preset image processing algorithm.
And step 114, the printing driving device generates a printing driving instruction according to the printing language after the thickening processing.
As can be seen from the foregoing background art, in the related art, the print control apparatus converts a document to be printed with bolded characters into bitmaps, and the print driving apparatus changes the bitmaps into a large number of vector diagrams and then generates a print command, because the vector diagrams occupy a large space and have a large processing difficulty relative to the bitmaps, the print driving apparatus is burdened with the print commands corresponding to the large number of vector diagrams, has a high calculation amount, and is slow in printing speed.
In the technical scheme of the invention, when the printing control device converts the document to be printed with the bold characters into the bitmap, the bold characters of the document are displayed in a non-bold character form, so that the number of formed vector diagrams is greatly reduced, the number of corresponding required printing commands is greatly reduced, the calculation difficulty is reduced, and the printing speed is increased. On the basis, simple thickening processing is carried out on the non-thickened characters with the thickened marks in the intermediate file through a preset image processing algorithm, so that a large amount of increase of vector diagrams is not involved, and a large amount of printing commands are still not generated.
on the basis of the embodiment shown in fig. 1, the method further comprises the following steps: the print control device acquires function information of the connected print driving device in response to the acquired print command; inquiring whether the printing driving device corresponding to the printing control device meets a preset requirement or not according to the function information; and in the case that the print driving device satisfies the predetermined requirement, performing the step of detecting whether the document to be printed has bolded characters.
That is, the print control apparatus needs to determine the function support of the print driving apparatus before detecting whether the document to be printed has the bold print, and specifically, may acquire the function information of the connected print driving apparatus, and determine whether the print driving apparatus satisfies a predetermined requirement according to the function information, where the predetermined requirement indicates that the print driving apparatus has a function of bold printing the word with the bold print mark by applying the preset image processing algorithm described in the embodiment shown in fig. 1, and the function information includes the identification information indicating that the print driving apparatus has the function or does not have the function, so that it may be determined whether the corresponding print driving apparatus can bold print the word with the bold print mark by applying the preset image processing algorithm according to the function information. If so, the step of detecting whether the document to be printed has bolded characters described in the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 is entered. Otherwise, the document to be printed may be subjected to print processing by a general printing manner provided in the related art.
through the technical scheme, the problem of printing failure caused by the fact that the functions of the printing control device and the printing driving device are asynchronous can be solved, the printing driving device capable of applying the preset image processing algorithm and the printing driving device incapable of applying the preset image processing algorithm can be compatible, and practicability and convenience are provided for the printing process.
Fig. 2 shows a flowchart of a print control method according to an embodiment of the present invention.
as shown in fig. 2, a print control method according to an embodiment of the present invention is used for a print control apparatus, the method including:
at step 202, a print command is obtained.
In the printing imaging system, at least two parts of a printing control device and a printing driving device are included, a user can perform printing operation at a client, the printing control device arranged in the client can receive a printing command, and the printing control device responds to the acquired printing command to detect whether a document to be printed has boldface characters.
Step 204, responding to the printing command, and detecting whether the document to be printed has the bolded characters.
If the bold characters exist, the bold characters are converted into the non-bold characters in the process of converting the document to be printed into the intermediate file, and thus the intermediate file does not have the bold characters, the step of generating the bold characters is shifted out from the process of producing the intermediate file, and a large amount of corresponding printing commands do not need to be generated for a large amount of bold characters in the subsequent process of converting the intermediate file into the printing language, so that the subsequent work of combining a printing driving device is facilitated, the workload of the whole printing imaging system is reduced, and the printing efficiency is improved.
Step 206, when the document to be printed has the bold characters, converting the bold characters into non-bold characters in the process of converting the document to be printed into an intermediate file.
And 208, setting a bold mark for the non-bold characters converted from the bold characters in the intermediate file.
Step 210, sending the intermediate file carrying the bold mark to a print driving device, so that the print driving device performs bold processing on the non-bold characters with the bold mark in the process of converting the intermediate file into a print language.
Meanwhile, in order to enable the print driving apparatus to recognize the bolded characters in the subsequent steps, the print control apparatus may set a bolded flag for the non-bolded characters converted from the bolded characters in the intermediate file, and finally, the print control apparatus sends the intermediate file carrying the bolded flag to the print driving apparatus.
Fig. 3 shows a flowchart of a print control method according to another embodiment of the present invention.
As shown in fig. 3, a print control method according to another embodiment of the present invention is used for a print control apparatus, the method including:
Step 302, a print command is obtained.
Step 304, in response to the print command, acquiring function information of the connected print driving apparatus.
Step 306, judging whether the print driving device has the function of thickening the non-thickened character according to the function information, if so, entering step 308, and if not, entering step 310.
Step 308, responding to the printing command, detecting whether the document to be printed has the bolded characters.
And step 310, printing the document to be printed by adopting a common mode, and ending the process.
If the print driver has the function of thickening the non-thickened characters, the process proceeds to step 308, where it is detected whether the document to be printed has thickened characters, and if the print driver does not have the function of thickening the non-thickened characters, the process proceeds to step 310, where the document to be printed is printed in a normal manner.
Therefore, the versions of the print control device and the print driving device are not necessarily corresponding, and therefore, in an actual scene, the print driving device may not have a function of performing the bolding processing on the non-bolded characters in the process of converting the printing language, and therefore, if the bold characters are directly changed into the non-bolded characters in the print control device, if the print driving device does not support the bolding processing in the process of converting the printing language, the printing of the bold characters in the document to be printed fails or the bold characters are printed in the form of the non-bolded characters, which affects the printing effect. Therefore, this judgment step is added to ensure smooth progress of the print job.
Step 312, when the document to be printed has the bold characters, determining whether the font to which the bold characters belong has the corresponding bold font, if so, entering step 314, and if not, entering step 316.
And step 314, in the process of converting the document to be printed into the intermediate file, directly sending the bold characters to the print driving device according to a corresponding bold font format, so that the print driving device directly converts the intermediate file into the print language.
If the bold characters in the document to be printed have corresponding bold font a ', the bold characters of the original font a can be directly converted into non-bold characters under the bold font a ' in the process of converting the document to the intermediate file, so that the printing driving device does not need to perform bold processing on the intermediate file, directly converts the intermediate file into the printing language by adopting a common printing mode, and prints the non-bold characters under the bold font a '.
Therefore, the printing process can be flexibly simplified according to the actual font storage condition in the printing control device, and the printing speed is favorably improved.
Step 316, converting the bold characters into non-bold characters in the process of converting the document to be printed into the intermediate file.
step 318, a bold mark is set for the non-bold character converted from the bold character in the intermediate file.
and 320, sending the intermediate file carrying the bold mark to a print driving device, so that the print driving device performs bold processing on the non-bold characters with the bold mark in the process of converting the intermediate file into a print language.
As can be seen from the embodiments shown in fig. 2 and fig. 3, the font thickening process originally in the intermediate file conversion process is cancelled, and the non-thickened fonts to be thickened and displayed in the intermediate file are thickened in the process of generating the printing language, so that a large number of vector diagrams and corresponding printing commands can be avoided, the data processing amount in the printing process is greatly reduced, and the printing speed and the user experience are improved.
Fig. 4 shows a flowchart of a print driving method according to an embodiment of the present invention.
as shown in fig. 4, a print driving method according to an embodiment of the present invention is for a print driving apparatus, the method including:
in step 402, an intermediate file from a print control apparatus is acquired.
Step 404, determining whether the intermediate file has a bold mark, if yes, entering step 406, and if no, entering step 408.
And 406, in the process of converting the intermediate file into the printing language, according to a preset image processing algorithm, performing thickening processing on the non-thickened characters with the thickened marks in the intermediate file.
wherein the bold mark is a custom format name set in advance in the print control apparatus and/or the print driving apparatus. If the intermediate file has the bold marks, it is indicated that the intermediate file has the non-bold characters converted from the bold characters, and the non-bold characters with the bold marks need to be subjected to re-bold processing in the process of converting the intermediate file into the printing language so as to realize accurate printing of the document to be printed corresponding to the intermediate file.
Since the printing control device displays the bold characters in the form of the non-bold characters when converting the document to be printed with the bold characters into the bitmap, the number of formed vector diagrams is greatly reduced, and therefore, the number of printing commands required by the printing drive device is greatly reduced, the calculation difficulty is reduced, and the printing speed is increased. On the basis, simple thickening processing is carried out on the non-thickened characters with the thickened marks in the intermediate file through a preset image processing algorithm, so that a large amount of increase of vector diagrams is not involved, and a large amount of printing commands are still not generated.
Step 408, directly converting the intermediate file into the printing language.
If the intermediate file does not have the bold mark, the intermediate file does not have the non-bold characters converted from the bold characters, and the bold reduction processing is not needed, so that the intermediate file can be directly converted into the printing language by directly adopting a common printing mode.
step 410, generating a print driving command according to the print language.
And finally, generating a printing driving instruction according to the obtained printing language, and sending the printing driving instruction to printing equipment to image the document to be printed corresponding to the intermediate file.
Wherein the preset image processing algorithm comprises: carrying out binarization image gray level processing on the intermediate file to obtain a first image; in the process of traversing all pixels in the first image, converting adjacent white pixels of each black pixel into gray pixels to obtain a second image; carrying out binarization processing on the second image to obtain a third image; and generating the printing language after the thickening processing according to the third image.
Under the condition that the intermediate file is a black-and-white binary image, the intermediate file can be subjected to binarization image gray scale processing to obtain a first image, so that word thickening is realized by increasing gray pixels. The method for processing the binary image gray scale is various, including but not limited to a component method, a maximum value method, an average value method and a weighted average method.
After the first image subjected to the gray scale processing of the binary image is obtained, the adjacent white pixels of each black pixel can be converted into gray pixels to obtain a second image, and thus, in the second image, the range occupied by each black pixel is widened, namely, thickened.
As shown in fig. 5, a row of black pixels is formed in a horizontal bar in the non-bolded character, and white pixels above, below, to the left, and to the right of each black pixel are converted into gray pixels, thereby bolding the horizontal bar. And then, carrying out binarization processing on the second image, restoring to obtain a third image, and finally generating the printing language subjected to thickening processing according to the third image. However, the embodiment is not limited thereto, and all the adjacent white pixels of each black pixel may be converted into gray pixels in the specific embodiment corresponding to the gray pixels; it can also add 1, 2 … … to the upper, lower, left and right sides, or just add 1, 2 … … to the lower right side to distinguish different thickening degrees.
Of course, the preset image processing algorithm includes, but is not limited to, the above-mentioned manner, and in the thickening process in the above-mentioned manner, the step of converting the adjacent white pixel of each black pixel into a gray pixel may be further replaced by the following steps: and converting the white pixels in the appointed adjacent range of each black pixel into gray pixels, wherein the appointed adjacent range can be flexibly set according to the requirement of font thickening and can comprise any pixel speed in any direction of the black pixels.
Therefore, the printing driving device only needs to perform simple pixel expansion in the process of converting the printing language without dealing with a large amount of printing commands, and does not involve a large amount of increase of vector diagrams, and still does not generate a large amount of printing commands, thereby reducing the calculation difficulty and improving the printing speed. Through the technical scheme, the font thickening process in the intermediate file conversion process originally is cancelled, simple and convenient thickening processing is carried out on non-thickened fonts needing to be thickened and displayed in the intermediate file in the process of generating the printing language, a large number of vector diagrams and corresponding printing commands can be avoided, the data processing amount of the printing process is greatly reduced, and the printing speed and the user experience are improved.

Before printing, function support of the driver is required to be determined, and specifically, function information of the connected driver may be acquired, and it is determined whether the driver satisfies a predetermined requirement according to the function information, where the predetermined requirement refers to that the driver has a function of applying a preset image processing algorithm to bold a word with a bold mark as described in the embodiment shown in fig. 1, and the function information includes identification information indicating that the driver has the function or does not have the function, so that it may be determined whether the corresponding driver can apply the preset image processing algorithm to bold the word with the bold mark according to the function information. If so, the step of detecting whether the document to be printed has bolded characters described in the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 is entered. Otherwise, the document to be printed may be subjected to print processing by a general printing manner provided in the related art. Therefore, the problem of printing failure caused by the function asynchronism of the application software and the driver can be avoided, and the practicability and convenience are provided for the printing process.
In step 604, the application software judges whether the document has bold characters, if yes, the step 606 is entered, and if no, the step 610 is entered.
If the bold characters exist, the method goes to step 606, and determines whether a printing mode of thickening the characters with the thickened marks can be adopted by applying a preset image processing algorithm, otherwise, the method goes to step 610, and prints the characters by using a common printing mode provided in the related art.
In step 606, the application software determines whether the bold font has a font with a bold version, and if yes, the process goes to step 610, and if no, the process goes to step 608.
If the bold characters in the document to be printed have the corresponding bold font a ', the bold characters of the original font a can be directly converted into the non-bold characters under the bold font a ' in the process of converting the bold characters into the intermediate file, so that the driver does not need to perform the bold processing on the intermediate file, directly converts the intermediate file into the printing language by adopting a common printing mode, and prints the non-bold characters under the bold font a '.
At step 608, the application software eliminates the step of using the contour bolding method.
At step 610, the application software executes the printing process provided in the related art.
Step 612, the application software changes the font name of the Bold font, adds the Bold typeface for the font name, and generates a new PDF file.
the Bold type is a Bold identification which is a custom format name set in the printing control device and/or the printing drive device in advance and can be used for a drive program to recognize Bold type.
In step 614, the driver determines that the received PDF file from the application has Bold typeface in its font name.
In step 616, if the font name has a Bold typeface, the driver applies a preset image processing algorithm to thicken the font corresponding to the font name.
And the driver identifies the Bold characters according to the Bold character patterns and performs thickening processing on the Bold characters by using a preset image processing algorithm, wherein the preset image processing algorithm comprises but is not limited to a binary image gray processing mode.
and step 618, the driver generates a PCL command according to the thickening result and sends the PCL command to the printer.
Finally, the driver sends the PCL command to the printer, and drives the printer to perform printing work.
through the technical scheme, the font thickening process in the intermediate file conversion process originally is cancelled, and the non-thickened fonts needing to be thickened and displayed in the intermediate file are thickened in the process of generating the printing language, so that a large number of vector diagrams and corresponding printing commands can be avoided, the data processing amount of the printing process is greatly reduced, and the printing speed and the user experience are improved.
