Abstract:
Diese Offenbarung stellt ein videobasiertes Verfahren und System für die Geschäftigkeitserkennung und -benachrichtigung bereit. Insbesondere werden gemäß einer beispielhaften Ausführungsform mehrere Überkopf-Bilderfassungsvorrichtungen zum Erfassen von Video verwendet, mit mehreren sich überschneidenden ROI (Regionen von Interesse), wobei das Video zum Zählen der Anzahl von Menschen, die sich innerhalb der ROI aufhalten, verarbeitet wird. Eine Geschäftigkeitsmetrik wird basierend auf der Anzahl von Menschen, die gezählt werden, und der Benachrichtigung der Geschäftigkeitsmetrik oder Veränderungen der Geschäftigkeitsmetrik an das zuständige Personal kommuniziert, z. B. an einen Einzelhandelsgeschäftsleiter.

resumo patente de invenção: método e sistema para alinhar cabeças de impressora que ejetam tinta transparente em uma impressora de jato de tinta. a presente invenção refere-se a um método que permite um operador detectar um desalinhamento das cabeças de impressora que ejetam tinta transparente em uma impressora de jato de tinta. o método imprime um primeiro padrão de teste com uma primeira cor de tinta e então imprime um segundo padrão de teste com tinta transparente no topo do primeiro padrão de teste. a tinta do primeiro e do segundo padrão de teste é então dispersada para permitir que a tinta transparente seja dispersada dentro de espaços intersticiais na tinta da primeira cor. um operador é então capaz de detectar a relação espacial de marcas predeterminadas no segundo padrão de teste para marcas predeterminadas no primeiro padrão de teste. as marcas pre determinadas do primeiro e do segundo padrão de teste estão dispostas para permitir um operador detectar uma distância de desalinhamento e a impressora de jato de tinta utilização distância de desalinhamento inserida pelo operador para ajustar o alinhamento das cabeças de impressora que ejetam a tinta transparente.
Abstract:
Un método que permite a un operador detectar la desalineación de cabezas de impresión que eyectan tinta transparente en la impresora de chorro de tinta. El método imprime un primer patrón de prueba con un primer color de tinta y entonces imprime un segundo patrón de prueba de tinta transparente encima del primer patrón de prueba. La tinta del primero y segundo patrones de prueba es entonces difundida o propagada para permitir que la tinta transparente se disperse en los espacios intersticiales en la tinta del primer color. Un operador puede entonces detectar la relación espacial de marcas predeterminadas en el segundo patrón de prueba con marcas predeterminadas en el primer patrón de prueba. Las marcas predeterminadas del primero y segundo patrones de prueba son arregladas para permitir que el operador detecte una distancia de desalineación y la impresora de chorro de tinta usa la distancia de desalineación alimentada por el operador para ajustar la alineación de las cabezas de impresión que eyecten tinta transparente.
Abstract:
In einem Verfahren wird ein Testmuster auf einer Bildempfangskomponente erzeugt, wobei das Muster für den Menschen wenig wahrnehmbar ist, aber dennoch durch eine Bilderzeugungseinrichtung innerhalb eines Druckers detektierbar ist. Mit einem Verfahren, das in dem Drucker implementiert ist, werden Bilddaten von Strichen des Testmusters analysiert, die in der Prozessrichtung innerhalb eines Bereichs der Bildempfangskomponente zufällig verteilt sind, um damit Positionen für Druckköpfe in dem Drucker zu ermitteln und fehlende Tintenstrahlen in den Druckköpfen zu erfassen.
Abstract:
Using a document scanner or other image input device of an image or document processing system to periodically scan or image printed test images from a plurality of marking engines replaces internal sensors as a feedback means in image quality control. For example, image lightness (L*) is controlled by periodically printing mid-tone test patches, scanning the printed test patches with a main job document scanner and analyzing the scanned image to determine updated marking engine actuator set points. For instance, ROS exposure and/or scorotron grid voltages are adjusted to maintain image lightness consistency between marking engines.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve a test pattern that is printed to distinguish the displacement of the alignment of print heads from a print head property that affects the ejection of ink from the print heads, and to provide a method for analyzing image data corresponding to the printed test pattern.SOLUTION: The method generates the test pattern that is hardly perceptible to human observation, but detectable by an imaging device in a printer on an image receiving member. The method achieved in the printer analyzes image data of a dash in the test pattern irregularly distributed in a process direction in a region of the image receiving member and locates the print head in the printer to detect a missing inkjet in the printer.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To analyze a test pattern generated on an image receiving member by a printer for identifying registration between print heads.SOLUTION: The method includes: identifying a process direction position for each row of dashes in a plurality of rows of dashes in image data of a test pattern printed on an image receiving member; identifying a center of each dash in a cross-process direction; identifying an inkjet ejector that formed each dash in the row of dashes; identifying a process direction position for each print head in the printer; identifying a cross-process displacement for each column of print heads; identifying a stitch displacement in the cross-process direction between neighboring print heads in a print bar unit that print a same color of ink; and operating an actuator to move at least some of the print heads in the printer with reference to the identified process direction positions, cross-process displacements, and the identified stitch displacements.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method of enabling an operator to detect an error in the positioning of a print head ejecting a clear ink in an ink jet printer.SOLUTION: A first test pattern is printed with an ink of a first color, and a second test pattern is printed on the first test pattern with the clear ink next. Then the ink of the first test pattern and the ink of the second test pattern are diffused to spread the clear ink in a space of an ink gap of the first color. Then the operator can confirm a spatial relation of a predetermined mark in the second test pattern to a predetermined mark in the first test pattern. The operator arrays the predetermined marks of the first test pattern and second test pattern to confirm a distance of an error in positioning, and the ink jet printer adjusts the positioning of the print head ejecting the clear ink using the distance of the error in positioning inputted by the operator.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To synchronize variations in components or subsystems in an image printing system in order to reduce perceptible image quality defects. SOLUTION: A method for synchronizing variation in the components or subsystems in the image printing system is disclose, the method includes: identifying a plurality of image quality defects printed by the image printing system by a controller 106, the image quality defects each occurring with an associated frequency and each being associated with a component or subsystem of the image printing system; measuring a phase difference of the image quality defects by the controller 106; and adjusting operation of each component or subsystem associated with the image quality defects, such that image quality defects are in phase.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a processing control method and an apparatus for improved image consistency, since many factors, such as temperature, humidity, ink or toner age, and/or component wear, tend to move the output of a printing system away from the ideal or the target output. SOLUTION: Density or reflectance targets for respective first and second marking engines of a document processing system are determined. A series of control patches is printed with the respective first and second marking engines. Relative reflectance values of each control patch printed with the first and second engines are determined. A first marking engine for relative reflectance error values of each control patch and a second marking engine for relative reflectance error values of each control patch are determined, respectively, based at least on (a) corresponding first engine relative reflectance value and target relative reflectance value and (b), corresponding second engine relative reflectance value and target relative reflectance value. Based at least on either of the first or the second marking engine relative reflectance error values, at least either of the first or the second engine relative reflectance targets is adjusted, and image quality control is improved.
