These drawings and the written description are not intended to limit the scope of the inventive concepts in any way, but to illustrate the concepts of the present application to those skilled in the art by reference to specific embodiments.
Detailed Description
Reference will now be made in detail to exemplary embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the accompanying drawings, the same numbers in different drawings refer to the same or similar elements, unless otherwise indicated. The implementations described in the following exemplary examples are not representative of all implementations consistent with the present application. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with some aspects of the present application as detailed in the accompanying claims.
The following describes the technical solutions of the present application and how the technical solutions of the present application solve the above technical problems in detail with specific embodiments. The following embodiments may be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described in detail in some embodiments. Embodiments of the present application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
The application scenario of the embodiment of the present application is explained below:
fig. 1 is an application scenario diagram provided in the 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 imaging task, the image forming apparatus 100 needs to perform control of an output color of the image forming apparatus 100 based on color calibration data stored in a consumable chip 120 provided on a consumable 110, that is, perform imaging color control based on the consumable chip 120, so as to output an image consistent with the color of the imaging task.
Since the consumable 110 of the image forming apparatus 100 is a consumable, when the printing substance, such as toner, in the original consumable 111 of the image forming apparatus 100 is exhausted, replacement is often required. If the replaced consumable is not produced by the original manufacturer, the consumable 112 is compatible, the performance and specification of the compatible consumable 112 and the original consumable 111 are often deviated, the consumable chip 120 stores color calibration data for controlling the image forming apparatus 100 to output color when leaving the factory, and the color calibration data is often matched with the original consumable 111. When the image forming apparatus 100 changes the original consumable to the compatible consumable, that is, uses the color calibration data in the compatible consumable 112 and the consumable chip 120 to perform imaging, the image forming apparatus 100 may output a light color or a bottom gray color, thereby reducing the imaging 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, wherein 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 meet the preset condition, the control of the output color of the image forming device is performed based on the second color calibration data, so that deviation of the color output by the image forming device due to replacement of the compatible consumable chip is avoided.
Fig. 2 is a schematic structural diagram of a consumable chip according to an embodiment of the present application, 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 used for: receiving first data transmitted by an image forming apparatus; and outputting second color calibration data to control the color output by the image forming device based on the second color calibration data when the first data does not meet a preset condition.
The second color calibration data is different from the first color calibration data, and the first color calibration data is data 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 is not used), 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 output color of the image forming apparatus 200. Consumable 220 may be a raw 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 together based on the color calibration data and the first data, and determines the color of the output.
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 the 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 charge-discharge characteristics, heating-up characteristics, etc. of the charging roller, developing roller, etc. of the cartridge, conductive characteristics, impedance characteristics, etc. of the printing substance.
Specifically, after receiving the first data, consumable chip 210 is specifically configured to:
judging whether the first data meets the preset condition, and if not, outputting second color calibration data.
In contrast, if the first data meets the preset condition, the consumable chip 210 outputs the first color calibration data.
The preset condition may be a range limitation condition of the first data. If the first data is located in the 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 the preset condition may include: acquiring second data corresponding to the original consumable; and judging whether the first data are consistent with the second data or not. 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 a color density for controlling an output color of the image forming apparatus to which the original consumable is attached based on the characteristics, the electrical characteristics, and the physical characteristics of the original consumable.
The consumable chip provided by the embodiment is detachably mounted on consumable of an image forming device, first color calibration data for performing color control output by the image forming device are stored in the consumable chip, when first data corresponding to consumable characteristics are received, whether the first data meet preset conditions is judged, if not, second color calibration data different from the first color calibration data are output, and accordingly color control output by the image forming device is performed based on the second color calibration data, color calibration data output based on the characteristics of the consumable chip are determined, accuracy of color output by the image forming device is improved, and imaging quality is 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, wherein a first portion of the memory area 212 is used for storing first data, and a second portion of the memory area 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 a printing substance, such as carbon powder, ink, or the like, contained in the consumable 220 is consumed to a predetermined amount, such as 10%, 20%, or other values, the image forming apparatus 200 detects the electrical and physical characteristics of the consumable 220, calculates or matches first data for controlling the consumable 220 to print, and writes the first data to a first portion of a storage area of the consumable chip 210. The consumable chip 210 cannot rewrite the first data, and only the first data can be read.
Specifically, during the operation 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 in real time whether the first data meets a preset condition, and if not, outputs the second color calibration data; if so, outputting the first color calibration data.
Optionally, the controller of the consumable chip 210 is specifically configured to:
judging whether the first data is in a preset data range or not; if not, outputting the second color calibration data.
Specifically, the preset data range may be a data range determined based on the 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 predetermined data range is determined according to the characteristic parameters of the original consumable of the image forming apparatus 200.
Wherein the characteristic parameters comprise electrical and/or physical characteristics of the individual components of the original consumable.
Illustratively, taking the original consumable material as the selenium drum as an example, the electrical characteristics can be the charge-discharge characteristics of the rollers such as a charging roller and a developing roller, the heating temperature-raising characteristics of the rollers, and the physical characteristics such as the conductive characteristics and the impedance characteristics of the carbon powder as the printing material.
By way of example, taking the original consumable as an 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 printing substance consumption condition of the image forming apparatus 200 and the characteristic parameters of the original consumable.
For example, when the consumption of printing substances is low, the preset data range corresponding to the selenium drum can be 35-40, and when the consumption of printing substances is high, the preset data range corresponding to the selenium drum can be 64-70.
Specifically, after the consumable 220 is mounted to the image forming apparatus 200, in a process in which the image forming apparatus 200 performs a corresponding task, the controller 211 of the consumable chip 210 determines whether the first data stored in the first portion of the storage area matches the second data of the original consumable, thereby determining whether the consumable is the original consumable or a compatible consumable; if the consumable is original, 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 the preset data range, if yes, determining that the consumable 220 is an original consumable; if not, 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 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 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 when the first data is greater than the data upper limit value to generate the second color calibration data; and/or modifying the first color calibration data based on a second correspondence when the first data is less than the data lower limit value to generate the second color calibration data.
The first correspondence and the second correspondence may be stored in a storage area of the consumable chip 210.
Specifically, when the first data is greater than the data upper limit value, the first color calibration data stored in the second part is changed to be smaller based on the first corresponding relation so as to obtain second color calibration data, thereby avoiding the phenomenon that the color is darker, such as bottom ash; when the first data is smaller than the data lower limit value, the first color calibration data stored in the second part is changed to be larger based on the second corresponding relation, so that second color calibration data is obtained, and the phenomenon of light color is avoided.
Specifically, when the first data is greater than the data upper limit value, the scaling factor in the first color calibration data can be changed to be smaller based on the difference value between the first data and the data upper limit value and the first corresponding relation, so as to obtain the second color calibration data; when the first data is smaller than the data lower limit value, the scaling factor in the first color calibration data can be changed based on the difference value between the first data and the data lower limit value and the second corresponding relation, so that the second color calibration data is obtained.
For example, if the preset data range is 35-42, that is, the data upper limit is 42, and the data lower limit is 35, and the first data of the consumable is 46, the first color calibration data includes three blocks, namely 0xB1 0xB1 0xB1 0xB1, 0xE0 0xC1 0xF6 0x37 and 0x89 0xAA 0x4F 0x5C, respectively, then the data corresponding to the first block is increased by 6, and the data corresponding to the second block is increased by 2, so as to obtain the second color calibration data: 0xB7 0xB7 0xB7 0xB7 0xE2 0xC3 0xF8 0x39 0x89 0xAA 0x4F 0x5C.
In this embodiment, whether the first data received by the consumable chip is located in the preset data range is determined, if not, the first color calibration data stored in the storage area of the consumable chip is modified into the second color calibration data, so that the color output by the image forming device is controlled based on the first data and the second color calibration data, the accuracy of the color of the image output by the image forming device is improved, and color deviation caused by mismatching of consumables is avoided.
Fig. 4 is a flowchart of a method for controlling a consumable chip according to an embodiment of the present application. The method for controlling the consumable chip can be executed by the consumable chip, and particularly can be executed by a controller or a processor of the consumable chip, wherein the consumable chip is detachably arranged on consumable of the image forming device, and first color calibration data are stored in the consumable chip. In some embodiments, the consumable chip may be the consumable chip 210 provided by the embodiments shown in fig. 2-3. As shown in fig. 4, the method for controlling the consumable chip provided in this embodiment includes the following steps:
step S401 receives first data transmitted from an image forming apparatus.
