  • Patent number: 11347953
    Abstract: A printing management apparatus includes: a receiving unit that receives order information about a printed material and print data of the printed material; a generating unit that generates bar code information about a bar code assigned to each page of the printed material based on the order information; an output unit that outputs the print data and the bar code information to a printer for executing processing including printing of the printed material; an acquiring unit that, in response to a failure occurring in the processing executed by the printer on a failure page, acquires the bar code information about the bar code assigned to the failure page; and a controller that controls the output unit so that the output unit outputs the bar code information about the failure page and reprint data of a reprinted material including the failure page to the printer.

  • Patent number: 10586126
    Abstract: A change degree deriving apparatus includes a receiving unit and a deriving unit. The receiving unit is configured to receive first image data of an object including an achromatic color and a first color and reference image data of the object. The first image data relates to the first color. The reference image data serves as a reference. The deriving unit is configured to derive a change degree of the object from a first difference based on the first image data and the reference image data received by the receiving unit. The first difference is a difference between the first image data and the reference image data, which occurs at a chromatic color portion when a portion corresponding to the achromatic color is set as a reference.

  • Patent number: 10181198
    Abstract: A data processing apparatus includes an obtaining unit and a converting unit. The obtaining unit obtains measured color sample data, which represents values obtained by measuring color samples on a color chart with a color measuring device, and image data, which represents an image of the color chart and a target object captured with an image capturing apparatus. The converting unit converts captured target object color data, which represents a value of a color of the target object included in the image data, into estimated target object color data, which represents an estimated value of the color of the target object identified if the color of the target object were measured with the color measuring device, on the basis of the measured color sample data and captured color sample data, which represents values of the multiple color samples included in the image data.

  • Patent number: 10176597
    Abstract: A change degree deriving apparatus includes a receiving unit and a change acquiring unit. The receiving unit receives image data and new product image data. The image data is obtained by capturing an object, through/from which a light source having a known spectral characteristic is transmitted/reflected, under a condition with no influence of sunlight. The new product image data is obtained by capturing the object in a new product state under an identical condition. The change acquiring unit acquires a change degree of the object by comparing a ratio of first data on a first specific color to second data on a second specific color that is different from the first specific color in relation to the received image data, with a ratio of third data on the first specific color to fourth data on the second specific color in relation to the received new product image data.
