Title: Akihiko Noda: Innovator in Printing Control Technology
Introduction
Akihiko Noda is a prominent inventor based in Tokyo, Japan. He has made significant contributions to the field of printing technology, holding a total of 18 patents. His work focuses on improving the efficiency and usability of printing processes, making them accessible even to inexperienced operators.
Latest Patents
One of Noda's latest inventions is a printing control apparatus and printing control method. This invention discloses a printing control apparatus capable of allowing even an inexperienced operator to execute a printing process by properly and efficiently using a plurality of printing devices in accordance with the contents of each job, printing conditions, and the like. A printing control apparatus according to a preferred embodiment of this invention determines device combinations suitable for the attributes of a printing job from performance information of the devices and the attributes of the printing job. The printing control apparatus presents the combinations so as to be able to select one of them, and displays an explanation of printing process steps using the selected combination.
Another notable invention is the print schedule control equipment, print schedule control method, and program therefor. This invention aims at conducting a scheduling work of print processing efficiently. A device scheduler refers to print job composition information registered in step control information of the step 'printer reservation' of other print jobs in a workflow information table, and a schedule information table. The device scheduler searches both other print jobs (proof print jobs and regular print jobs) that a to-be-registered proof print job having a processing time of the proof print job described above affects and other print jobs (proof print jobs and regular print jobs) that affect the to-be-registered proof print job. The device scheduler determines whether the to-be-registered proof print job can be registered in a schedule. When the registration is not possible, the device scheduler informs an operator of the result that automatic scheduling is impossible.
