Publication number: 20190251405Abstract: A method is described in which printing instructions representing printing content to be printed by a printing system are received, the printing system comprising a dispenser to dispense printing material. Whether to perform a first mapping process or a second mapping process is then selected. The first mapping process comprises mapping an indicator to a first dispensing process to dispense printing material from the dispenser to produce content according to a content characteristic of the printing content at a given location, and the second mapping process comprises mapping the indicator to a second dispensing process to dispense printing material to produce content according to the content characteristic at the given location. The first dispensing process is different than the second dispensing process. The indicator represents the content characteristic. The method also comprises performing the selected mapping process.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 25, 2016Publication date: August 15, 2019Applicant: HEWLETT-PACKARD DEVELOPMENT COMPANY, L.P.Inventors: Peter Morovic, Jan Morovic, Jordi Arnabat Benedicto, Joan Vidal

Patent number: 9696950Abstract: A computer implemented method of analyzing the content of a digital image, for example a page to be printed, computes a boundary enclosing all the non-white content of the image. The image within the boundary is then divided into regions based on a predetermined division rule. For each region the number of unique colors and the proportion of non-white pixels are computed. The image is then categorized according to the result of those computations. The categorization can be used to automatically set print settings according to the content of the image.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2013Date of Patent: July 4, 2017Assignee: HEWLETT-PACKARD DEVELOPMENT COMPANY, L.P.Inventors: Jordi Arnabat Benedicto, Jordi Vilar Benito, Peter Morovic

Patent number: 9674403Abstract: A color look-up-table (LUT) is created for use by an imaging system which uses a resource to display an image and/or provides an attribute of the image. A method of creating the LUT, comprises selecting a threshold value of resource usage and/or metric of the attribute. A predetermined color look-up-table representing a mapping from color values of a first color gamut to color values displayable by the imaging system is accessed. The predetermined color look-up-table has nodes defining colors to be displayed for the said color values. Resource usage and/or attribute values associated with the said nodes are compared with the threshold value thereby determining the set of nodes of the predetermined gamut having a resource usage and/or attribute values less than the threshold value. A new look-up-table is created which maps the said predetermined color gamut look-up-table to the said set of nodes.Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 2016Date of Patent: June 6, 2017Assignee: HEWLETT-PACKARD DEVELOPMENT COMPANY, L.P.Inventors: Peter Morovic, Jordi Arnabat Benedicto, Jan Morovic, Jordi Vilar Benito

Patent number: 9501727Abstract: A color look-up-table (LUT) is created for use by an imaging system which uses a resource to display an image and/or provides an attribute of the image. A method of creating the LUT, comprises selecting (S1) a threshold value of resource usage and/or metric of the attribute. A predetermined color look-up-table representing a mapping from color values of a first color gamut to color values displayable by the imaging system is accessed. The predetermined color look-up-table has nodes defining colors to be displayed for the said color values.
