Detailed Description
Reference will now be made in detail to the exemplary embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the accompanying drawings, like numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present application. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with certain aspects of the present application, as detailed in the appended claims.
The following describes the technical solutions of the present application and how to solve the above technical problems with specific embodiments. The following several specific embodiments may be combined with each other, and details of the same or similar concepts or processes may not be repeated in some embodiments. Embodiments of the present application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
The following explains an application scenario of the embodiment of the present application:
fig. 1 is an application scenario diagram according to an embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 1, when an image forming apparatus 100, such as a printer, a copier, a scanner, etc., receives an image forming job, the image forming apparatus 100 needs to perform color control of an output of the image forming apparatus 100 based on color calibration data stored in a consumable chip 120 disposed on a consumable 110, that is, perform image forming color control based on the consumable chip 120, so as to output an image with a color consistent with the image forming job.
Since the consumable 110 of the image forming apparatus 100 is a consumable, it is often necessary to be replaced when the printing substance, such as toner, in the original consumable 111 of the image forming apparatus 100 is exhausted. The consumable after the replacement, if not the original manufacturer produce, then be compatible consumable 112, compatible consumable 112 and original dress consumable 111 often performance and specification have the deviation, and consumable chip 120 stores the color calibration data that is used for controlling image forming device 100 to output the colour when leaving the factory, and this color calibration data often matches with original dress consumable 111. When the image forming apparatus 100 replaces the original consumable with the compatible consumable, i.e., performs image formation using the color calibration data in the compatible consumable 112 and the consumable chip 120, the image forming apparatus 100 may output an image with a lighter color or a bottom gray, thereby reducing the image quality.
In order to reduce the color difference of the image color output by the image forming device, the application provides a consumable chip and a control method thereof, and the main conception is as follows: and determining color calibration data output by the consumable chip, namely the first color calibration data or the second color calibration data, based on the first data corresponding to the consumable. Specifically, when the first data does not satisfy the preset condition, the output color of the image forming apparatus is controlled based on the second color calibration data, so that the color output by the image forming apparatus is prevented from deviating due to the fact that compatible consumable chips are replaced.
Fig. 2 is a schematic structural diagram of a consumable chip according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in fig. 2, the consumable chip 210 is detachably mounted on a consumable 220 of an image forming apparatus 200, first color calibration data is stored in the consumable chip 210, and the consumable chip 210 is configured to: receiving first data sent by an image forming device; and outputting second color calibration data when the first data does not meet a preset condition so as to control the color output by the image forming device based on the second color calibration data.
The second color calibration data is different from the first color calibration data, and the first color calibration data is stored in the consumable chip 210 when the consumable chip 210 leaves the factory, so that under an initial condition (for example, the consumable chip 210 is brand new and out of use), if the color calibration data of the consumable chip is accessed, the consumable chip 210 outputs the first color calibration data. The second color calibration data is data transmitted to or stored in the consumable chip 210 by the image forming apparatus during the use of the consumable chip 210. The first color calibration data and the second color calibration data are color matching data for controlling the image forming apparatus 200 to output colors. The consumable 220 may be an original consumable or a compatible consumable as described above. The first data is data for controlling the color density of the color output by the image forming apparatus 200. The image forming apparatus 200 configures imaging parameters based on the color calibration data and the first data together, and determines an output color.
Specifically, the first data may be generated by the image forming apparatus 200 and transmitted to the consumable chip 210.
Alternatively, the first data is determined by the image forming apparatus 200 according to a characteristic parameter of the consumable 220 when the consumable 220 is mounted to the image forming apparatus 200.
Specifically, the first data may be determined by the image forming apparatus 200 based on the electrical and physical characteristics of the consumable 220, such as the charge-discharge characteristics, the heating temperature-rise characteristics, and the like of the charging roller, the developing roller, and the like of the cartridge, the conductive characteristics, the impedance characteristics, and the like of the printing substance.
Specifically, after receiving the first data, the consumable chip 210 is specifically configured to:
and judging whether the first data meet a preset condition, and if not, outputting second color calibration data.
On the contrary, if the first data satisfies the preset condition, the consumable chip 210 outputs the first color calibration data.
Wherein the preset condition may be a range limiting condition of the first data. If the first data is located in a data range corresponding to the preset condition, the first data meets the preset condition; otherwise, it is not satisfied.
Specifically, determining whether the first data meets a preset condition may include: acquiring second data corresponding to the original consumable; and judging whether the first data is consistent with the second data. When the first data is inconsistent with the second data, determining that the first data does not meet a preset condition; otherwise, it is satisfied.
Wherein the second data is data for the image forming apparatus 200 to determine color density for controlling an output color of the image forming apparatus to which the genuine consumable is attached, based on the characteristics, the electrical characteristics, and the physical characteristics of the genuine consumable.
The consumptive material chip that this embodiment provided, detachably installs on image forming device's consumptive material, the storage has the first color calibration data that is used for carrying out the color control of image forming device output in this consumptive material chip, when receiving the first data that the consumptive material characteristic corresponds, judge whether this first data satisfies the preset condition, if not, then export the second color calibration data different with first color calibration data, thereby carry out the control of the colour of image forming device output based on this second color calibration data, the color calibration data of output has been confirmed to the characteristic based on consumptive material chip, thereby the degree of accuracy of the colour of image forming device output has been improved, the quality of formation of image has been improved.
Fig. 3 is a schematic structural diagram of a consumable chip according to another embodiment of the present application, and as can be seen from fig. 2 and 3, in this embodiment, the consumable chip 210 includes a controller 211 and a memory area 212, a first portion of the memory area 212 is used for storing first data, and a second portion of the memory area 212 is used for storing color calibration data, i.e., first color calibration data and/or second color calibration data.
Specifically, the consumable 220 is mounted to the image forming apparatus 200, and when the printing material, such as toner, ink, etc., contained in the consumable 220 is consumed to a predetermined amount, such as 10%, 20%, or other value, the image forming apparatus 200 detects the electrical and physical characteristics of the consumable 220, calculates or matches first data for controlling the printing of the consumable 220, and writes the first data into the first portion of the memory area of the consumable chip 210. Usually, the consumable chip 210 cannot rewrite the first data, and can only read the first data.
Specifically, in the working process of the image forming apparatus 200, after the first data is stored in the first portion of the storage area of the consumable chip 210, the controller of the consumable chip 210 determines whether the first data meets a preset condition in real time, and if not, outputs the second color calibration data; if yes, outputting first color calibration data.
Optionally, the controller of the consumable chip 210 is specifically configured to:
judging whether the first data is within a preset data range; if not, outputting second color calibration data.
Specifically, the preset data range may be a data range determined based on second data corresponding to the original consumable. Alternatively, the preset data range may be a default data range stored in the memory area of the consumable chip 210.
Optionally, the controller 211 of the consumable chip 210 is further configured to:
the preset data range is determined according to the characteristic parameters of the original consumables of the image forming apparatus 200.
Wherein the characteristic parameters comprise electrical characteristics and/or physical characteristics of each component of the original consumable.
For example, taking the original consumable as a toner cartridge, the electrical characteristics may be charge and discharge characteristics of a roller such as a charging roller and a developing roller, a heating temperature rise characteristic of the roller, and physical characteristics such as a conductive characteristic and an impedance characteristic of toner contained as a printing material.
For example, taking the original consumable material as the ink cartridge, the electrical characteristic may be an impedance characteristic of the ink, and the ink cartridge controls physical characteristics such as air pressure or voltage of the ink.
Further, the preset data range may be determined according to the consumption of the printing material of the image forming apparatus 200 and the characteristic parameters of the original consumables.
For example, when the printing material is less consumed, the preset data range corresponding to the toner cartridge may be 35 to 40, and when the printing material is more consumed, the preset data range corresponding to the toner cartridge may be 64 to 70.
Specifically, after the consumable 220 is mounted to the image forming apparatus 200, the controller 211 of the consumable chip 210 determines whether first data stored in the first portion of the storage area matches second data of an original consumable during execution of a corresponding task by the image forming apparatus 200, thereby determining whether the consumable is an original consumable or a compatible consumable; if the consumable is an original consumable, outputting first color calibration data; and if the consumable is compatible, outputting second color calibration data.
Further, it may be determined whether the first data is within a preset data range, and if so, the consumable 220 is determined to be an original consumable; if not, the consumable 220 is determined to be a compatible consumable.
Optionally, when the first data exceeds the preset data range, the controller 211 of the consumable chip 210 is specifically configured to:
the first color calibration data stored in the consumable chip 210 is modified to generate second color calibration data, and the second color calibration data is output.
Specifically, the first color calibration data may be modified according to a comparison result between the first data and a preset data range, so as to obtain the second color calibration data.
Optionally, the preset data range includes a data upper limit value and a data lower limit value, and the controller 211 of the consumable chip 210 is further configured to:
modifying the first color calibration data based on a first correspondence to generate the second color calibration data when the first data is greater than the data upper limit value; and/or, when the first data is smaller than the data lower limit value, modifying the first color calibration data based on a second corresponding relation to generate the second color calibration data.
Wherein, the first corresponding relation and the second corresponding relation can be stored in the storage area of the consumable chip 210.
Specifically, when the first data is larger than the data upper limit value, the first color calibration data stored in the second part is reduced based on the first corresponding relation to obtain second color calibration data, so that the phenomenon of dark color, such as bottom ash, is avoided; and when the first data is smaller than the lower data limit value, the first color calibration data stored in the second part is increased based on the second corresponding relation to obtain second color calibration data, so that the phenomenon of light color is avoided.
Specifically, the color calibration data includes scale coefficients of various colors, and when the first data is greater than the data upper limit value, the scale coefficients in the first color calibration data may be reduced based on a difference between the first data and the data upper limit value and the first corresponding relationship, so as to obtain second color calibration data; when the first data is smaller than the data lower limit value, the scale factor in the first color calibration data may be increased based on the difference between the first data and the data lower limit value and the second corresponding relationship, so as to obtain second color calibration data.
Illustratively, with a preset data range of 35-42, that is, the upper limit value of the data is 42, and the lower limit value of the data is 35, if the first data of the consumable is 46, the first color calibration data includes three blocks, which are 0xB 10 xB1, 0xE 00 xC 10 xF 60 x37, and 0x 890 xAA 0x4F 0x5C, the data corresponding to the first block is incremented by 6, and the data corresponding to the second block is incremented by 2, so as to obtain the second color calibration data: 0xB 70 xB 70 xB 70 xB 70 xE 20 xC 30 xF 80 x 390 x 890 xAA 0x4F 0x 5C.
