that is, the server is mainly used for receiving the image information and sending the image information to the corresponding printing device; in some embodiments, the printing device may be user-specified, or the user may select a printer while uploading the image information.
And S3, the printing device prints the image information on the food or the tableware according to the image information.
That is, the printing apparatus can print on food or tableware based on image information, and preferably, in monochrome printing, the image information is converted into a grayscale image and then the image is printed based on the grayscale image.
In some embodiments, the food customized printing system control method as described above, before the printing device prints the image information on the food or the tableware according to the image information, further comprising:
the terminal and the printing device are in communication connection through a first communication module and a second communication module;
and the terminal directly sends the image information to the printing device through the communication connection.
The first communication module and the second communication module are arranged; the terminal and the printing device can be directly communicated through the server, so that the terminal and the printing device are suitable for processing printing orders under certain lines, the processing efficiency under the condition can be effectively improved, and the data processing amount of the server can be effectively reduced.
In some embodiments, a food customized printing system control method as previously described,
after the image information is forwarded to the printing device, the method further comprises the following steps:
predetermining a first corresponding relation between the gray information of the printing surface and the brightness of the image information; wherein the printing surface is an area for printing images on food or tableware;
acquiring first gray information of a printing surface on food or tableware to be printed;

and the printing device prints the adjusted image information on the printing surface of the food or tableware to be printed.
Specifically, the invention of the application can print pictures or characters on different media, and the different media have different requirements on ink output amount. When the tableware to be printed is a white dish, the medium is special, the ground color is white, and the contrast is large, so that the ink quantity is minimum, otherwise, the condition of ink drop accumulation occurs. When the food to be printed is hamburgers, the background color exists, the ink output is required to be maximum, otherwise, the printed patterns and the background coincide to influence the recognition degree. In the monochromatic inkjet printer in the prior art, the product color depth is realized by modifying the size of ink drops on a printer driver setting interface, but in the invention, the ink output amount can be adjusted by adjusting the brightness of an input picture, so that the operation processing can be carried out at a server end, the dependence on a bottom hardware equipment platform is reduced, and the transplantation among different products is facilitated.
In some embodiments, since there may be multiple sides of the utensil or food item that can be printed with images or graphics, it is desirable to identify the areas where printing can occur and then identify the images that each area prints; enabling the selected image information to be printed in the selected area at the time of final printing.
In some embodiments, the food customized printing system control method as described above, further comprising:
the terminal receives text input and sends corresponding text information to the server;
specifically, the text input can be performed on a human-computer interaction interface of the terminal, and after confirmation, the text input is uploaded and sent to the server;
after receiving the text information, the server forwards the text information to a printing device;
and the printing device prints the text information on the food or the tableware according to the text information.
That is to say, the method can enable the user to edit a segment of characters at any time and print the segment of characters on corresponding food or tableware, and further enrich the printed content on the basis of image printing.
It should be noted that the steps illustrated in the flowcharts of the figures may be performed in a computer system such as a set of computer-executable instructions and that, although a logical order is illustrated in the flowcharts, in some cases, the steps illustrated or described may be performed in an order different than presented herein.
It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the modules or steps of the present invention described above may be implemented by a general purpose computing device, they may be centralized on a single computing device or distributed across a network of multiple computing devices, and they may alternatively be implemented by program code executable by a computing device, such that they may be stored in a storage device and executed by a computing device, or fabricated separately as individual integrated circuit modules, or fabricated as a single integrated circuit module from multiple modules or steps. Thus, the present invention is not limited to any specific combination of hardware and software.
The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application, and various modifications and changes may be made by those skilled in the art.
