Detailed Description
For the purposes, technical solutions and advantages of the present application, the technical solutions of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to specific embodiments of the present application and corresponding drawings. It will be apparent that the described embodiments are only some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present application. All other embodiments, which can be made by one of ordinary skill in the art without undue burden from the present disclosure, are within the scope of the present disclosure.
The terminology used in the description section of the present application is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments of the present application only and is not intended to be limiting of the present application.
Aiming at the problem of how to check consumable materials of image forming equipment, the application provides a checking method.
The verification method provided by the application is applied to the electronic equipment.
Fig. 1 is a schematic view of an application scenario according to an embodiment of the present application.
As shown in fig. 1, the image forming apparatus 100 includes, but is not limited to: printers, copiers, facsimile machines, scanners, and multifunctional integrated machines that integrate functions of printing, copying, faxing, scanning, and the like, the functions of which are to print images or characters on an imaging medium.
The electronic device 110 is connected to the image forming device 100. The electronic device 110 and the image forming device 100 may be connected by wire (for example, a communication connection based on a USB data line or a serial port line), or may be connected wirelessly (for example, a wireless data connection based on Wifi or a wireless data connection based on bluetooth), and the electronic device 110 and the image forming device 100 may also access the same network (for example, a home lan) or the same third party device, and implement a communication connection based on the network or the third party device.
Further, in another embodiment, the electronic device 110 may also be a terminal control module integrally mounted on the image forming apparatus 100.
The electronic device 110 includes a task issuing module 111, an information query module 112, and a verification module 113.
The job issuing module 111 is for acquiring and issuing an image forming job to the image forming apparatus 100, and instructs the image forming apparatus 100 to execute the image forming job. The image forming job is a job that needs the image forming apparatus 100 to execute, for example, a print job, a copy job, a facsimile job, a scan job.
The source from which the task posting module 111 obtains the image forming task may be local to the electronic device 110. For example, the electronic device 110 is a personal computer, the user performs a document editing operation on the electronic device 110, and after editing is completed, the user selects a document to print. The electronic device 110 generates an image forming job from the document edited by the user.
The source from which the job issuing module 111 acquires the image forming job may be other devices than the electronic device 110. For example, the electronic device 110 is a server device, and a personal computer is connected to the electronic device 110 through a network. The user performs document editing operation on the personal computer, and after editing is completed, the user selects the document to print. The personal computer generates an image forming job from the document edited by the user. The personal computer transmits the image forming job to the electronic device 110.
The information inquiry module 112 is used to inquire the apparatus information of the image forming apparatus 100 and/or the consumable material information of the consumable material mounted on the image forming apparatus 100.
Specifically, the information inquiry module 112 transmits an inquiry command to the image forming apparatus 100, and the image forming apparatus 100 reads the basic information of itself and consumables and feeds back the read information to the information inquiry module 112.
Taking the image forming apparatus 100 as an example of a printer, the information inquiry module 112 inquires of the printer current information including printer fixing information (model, serial number, number of printed pages, etc.) and powder box information (model, remaining amount, usage, number of actual printed pages, average coverage, etc.) through a data port. Specifically, in one embodiment, the information query module 112 queries in the form of advanced control language (Advanced Control Language, ACL) commands.
The verification module 113 is configured to verify the validity of the consumable of the image forming apparatus 100 based on the information acquired by the information inquiry module 112.
Specifically, the verification module 113 performs multiple verification on the information acquired by the information query module 112 by adopting a multiple result verification mode, so as to avoid the situation that legal consumables cannot be printed due to single verification result errors.
Further, for the image forming apparatus using illegal consumables, the verification module 113 uses a random number method, so that the image forming apparatus using illegal consumables cannot print at random, thereby ensuring the security of the image forming apparatus. For example, the verification module 113 randomly transmits an image forming job issuing signal to the job issuing module 111, causing the job issuing module 111 to randomly issue an image forming job to the image forming apparatus 100 or not issue an image forming job to the image forming apparatus 100.
Further, in an embodiment, the electronic device 110 is further provided with a warning module 115, and for the image forming device using illegal consumables, the warning module 115 informs the user of illegal information about the consumable, and informs the user of the damage result of the illegal consumable.
Further, in an embodiment, the verification module 113 records the serial number of the image forming apparatus using the illegal consumable into the blacklist. In the process of verifying the validity of the consumable, the verification module 113 determines that the consumable is not valid for the image forming apparatus on the blacklist.
FIG. 2 is a flow chart of a verification method according to an embodiment of the present application.
The electronic device 110 shown in fig. 1 performs the following flow as shown in fig. 2 to control the image forming device 100 to perform an image forming task.
S200, the job issuing module 111 acquires an image forming job.

If the consumable of the image forming apparatus 100 is legal, S230 is performed.
S230, the job issuing module 111 issues an image forming job to the image forming apparatus 100.
After S230, the image forming apparatus 100 performs an image forming task.
If the consumable of the image forming apparatus 100 is not legal, S240 is performed.
S240, the task issuing module 111 stops the image forming task, and the warning module 115 outputs prompt information that the consumable is illegal to the user.
According to the method of the embodiment shown in fig. 2, the validity of the consumable on the image forming device can be checked, and the execution of the image forming task is stopped when the consumable is illegal, so that the image forming device is effectively prevented from using illegal consumable, damage to the image forming device is avoided, and user experience is improved.
Further, according to the method of the embodiment shown in fig. 2, validity verification can be performed on the image forming equipment and the consumables which are on the market, and when the consumables are updated, the image forming equipment which is on the market before is not required to be updated, so that the verification of the new validity of the new consumables can be completed, and the difficulty in achieving the validity verification of the consumables is reduced.
Further, based on the flow shown in fig. 2, in the application scenario where the consumable part is legal, after the task issuing module 111 acquires the image forming task (S200), the image forming apparatus 100 needs to wait for S210 and S220 to finish executing before receiving the image forming task.
Since the execution of S210 (the information inquiry module 112 inquires of the apparatus information of the image forming apparatus 100 and the consumable material information of the consumable material mounted on the image forming apparatus 100), a long apparatus interaction time is required. This results in that after the user initiates the image forming job, it takes a long time to obtain the image forming job execution result of the image forming apparatus 100, which affects the user experience.
In view of the above, in an embodiment of the present application, S210 is performed in advance before S200 is performed.
As shown in fig. 1, the electronic apparatus 110 further includes a memory 114, and the memory 114 is used to hold apparatus information of the image forming apparatus 100 and consumable material information of consumable materials mounted on the image forming apparatus 100.
FIG. 3 is a flow chart of a verification method according to an embodiment of the present application.
The electronic device 110 shown in fig. 1 performs the following flow as shown in fig. 3 to control the image forming device 100 to perform an image forming task.
S300, the job issuing module 111 acquires an image forming job.
S310, the verification module 113 reads the apparatus information of the image forming apparatus 100 and the consumable supply information of the consumable supplies mounted on the image forming apparatus 100 held in the memory 114.
S311, the verification module 113 verifies the validity of the consumable supplies of the image forming apparatus 100 based on the apparatus information of the image forming apparatus 100 held in the memory 114 and the consumable supply information of the consumable supplies mounted on the image forming apparatus 100.
If the consumable of the image forming apparatus 100 is legal, S320 is performed.
S320, the job issuing module 111 issues an image forming job to the image forming apparatus 100.
After S320, the image forming apparatus 100 performs an image forming task.
If the consumable of the image forming apparatus 100 is not legal, S330 is performed.
S330, the task issuing module 111 stops the image forming task, and the warning module 115 outputs prompt information that the consumable is illegal to the user.
According to the method flow shown in fig. 3, in the process of verifying the validity of the consumable, information query from the image forming device is not needed, so that the time for verifying the validity of the consumable is shortened, the waiting time of a user is shortened, and the user experience is improved.
Further, after S320, the electronic device 110 also executes S340.
S340, the information inquiry module 112 inquires of the apparatus information of the image forming apparatus 100 and the consumable material information of the consumable material mounted on the image forming apparatus 100, saves the apparatus information of the image forming apparatus 100 and the consumable material information of the consumable material mounted on the image forming apparatus 100 to the memory 114.
Specifically, the image forming apparatus 100 is exemplified as a printer. The electronic device 110 has a print driver mounted thereon. After the Language Monitor (LM) of the print driver monitors that the print job data (print job) has been transmitted (S320 has been executed, the print job data status is EndDoc), the information inquiry module 112 transmits an inquiry instruction to the image forming apparatus 100 based on the ACL command.
After the image forming apparatus 100 receives the inquiry instruction, the image forming apparatus 100 inquires the apparatus information of the image forming apparatus 100 and the consumable material information of the consumable material mounted on the image forming apparatus 100 based on the inquiry instruction after the image forming apparatus 100 finishes the print job, and feeds back the inquiry result to the information inquiry module 112.
Alternatively, after the image forming apparatus 100 receives the inquiry instruction, the image forming apparatus 100 inquires the apparatus information of the image forming apparatus 100 and the consumable supply information of the consumable supply mounted on the image forming apparatus 100 based on the inquiry instruction while the image forming apparatus 100 performs the print job, and feeds back the inquiry result to the information inquiry module 112.
The ACL query command and the normal print data are communicated by using the data port, and S340 is executed after S320, so that data cross-talk is not generated when the ACL query command and the print data are sent, and the occurrence of abnormal printing of the printer can be avoided.
Further, the electronic device 110 may send data to the image forming device 100 using a direct write port or by writing the data to a Spooler (Spooler). In an embodiment of the present application, in S320 and S340, the electronic device 110 transmits data (print job data and ACL query command) to the image forming device 100 in such a manner that the data is written to the propeller. A queue mechanism of a spogler (print background processing service) is utilized to prevent multi-job concurrency conflicts.
In the embodiment shown in fig. 3, S340 is performed after S320. In other embodiments, S340 may be performed at other execution nodes. Stored in the memory 114 is the information acquired in the last execution S340.
For example, in another embodiment, S340 may be performed before S320 is performed. After the image forming apparatus 100 is connected to the electronic apparatus 110, the electronic apparatus 110 periodically performs S340 to update the data stored in the memory 114 in a state where the user does not initiate an image forming task on the electronic apparatus 110.
Further, in an embodiment of the present application, for an image forming apparatus that performs an image forming job for the first time, consumable validity check is not performed thereon, or when consumable validity check is performed on an image forming apparatus that performs an image forming job for the first time, it is determined that consumable thereof is valid.
