Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To suitably control desired color tagging, tracking and insurance by a user interface that is simple and easy to use. SOLUTION: This printing system accurately prints proprietary marks and selected colors. A dictionary of recognizable patterns and defined colors corresponding to the proprietary marks and selected colors is linked to a user interface. Here, a user may designate a location within a document and at least one of a plurality of proprietary marks with defined colors from an accessible menu. A processor associates the defined colors with the image at the specified location and generates a printer signal representing them. Alternatively, the processor includes a pattern recognizer for identifying recognizable patterns within a document. The patterns have a likeness to defined patterns within a pattern dictionary and can be converted to the defined patterns for display or imaging.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system and a method capable of contributing the shortness of service time, the reduction of cost, extension of life, etc., by executing hybrid diagnosis for an electronic device such as a printer and a copying machine by the minimum number of sensors. SOLUTION: The hybrid diagnostic system for predicting and diagnosing a state includes at least one sensor, at least one virtual sensor for determining state information on the basis of the quantitative analysis of data obtained from a monitored system and a diagnosis estimation device for executing qualitative analysis (e.g. a model base, a rule base and a neural network) on the basis of information obtained from at least one sensor and at least one virtual sensor.
