Information processing apparatus, control method thereof, storage medium, and image forming system

A method for controlling an information processing apparatus, the method comprising:

• obtaining reference image data used for printing of a printed material;
• obtaining an image quality inspection result obtained by comparing, by an inspection unit, read image data obtained by reading, by a reading unit, the printed material and the reference image data;
• and
• displaying, on a display unit, an inspection result screen in accordance with the inspection result,
• wherein a first region and a second region are included in the inspection result screen,
• in the first region, for a predetermined page among pages read from the printed material, an entire image corresponding to the read image data and an abnormal portion in the entire image are displayed, and in a second region, a normal enlarged image and an abnormal enlarged image corresponding to the abnormal portion are displayed,
• the normal enlarged image is an image for which an image of a position corresponding to the abnormal portion in the reference image data is enlarged and displayed, and the abnormal enlarged image is an image for which an image of a position corresponding to the abnormal portion in the read image data is enlarged and displayed, and
• in the inspection result screen, in a case where detected abnormal portions exceed an upper limit to be displayed at one time in the second region, together with displaying the normal enlarged image and abnormal enlarged image corresponding to a portion of the abnormal portions, an operation object for switching to a display of a non-displayed normal enlarged image and abnormal enlarged image is displayed.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to execute each step in a method for controlling an information processing apparatus, the method for controlling comprising:

• obtaining reference image data used for printing of a printed material;
• obtaining an image quality inspection result obtained by comparing, by an inspection unit, read image data obtained by reading, by a reading unit, the printed material and the reference image data;
• and
• displaying, on a display unit, an inspection result screen in accordance with the inspection result,
• wherein a first region and a second region are included in the inspection result screen,
• in the first region, for a predetermined page among pages read from the printed material, an entire image corresponding to the read image data and an abnormal portion in the entire image are displayed, and in a second region, a normal enlarged image and an abnormal enlarged image corresponding to the abnormal portion are displayed,
• the normal enlarged image is an image for which an image of a position corresponding to the abnormal portion in the reference image data is enlarged and displayed, and the abnormal enlarged image is an image for which an image of a position corresponding to the abnormal portion in the read image data is enlarged and displayed, and
• in the inspection result screen, in a case where detected abnormal portions exceed an upper limit to be displayed at one time in the second region, together with displaying the normal enlarged image and abnormal enlarged image corresponding to a portion of the abnormal portions, an operation object for switching to a display of a non-displayed normal enlarged image and abnormal enlarged image is displayed.

An image forming system, comprising:

• at least one memory device that stores a set of instructions;
• and
• at least one processor that executes the set of instructions to:
• obtain reference image data used for printing of a printed material;
• use the reference image data to output a printed material;
• read the printed material;
• inspect image quality by comparing read image data and the reference image data;
• and
• display, on a display unit, an inspection result screen in accordance with the inspection result,
• wherein a first region and a second region are included in the inspection result screen,
• in the first region, for a predetermined page among pages read from the printed material, an entire image corresponding to the read image data and an abnormal portion in the entire image are displayed, and in a second region, a normal enlarged image and an abnormal enlarged image corresponding to the abnormal portion are displayed,
• the normal enlarged image is an image for which an image of a position corresponding to the abnormal portion in the reference image data is enlarged and displayed, and the abnormal enlarged image is an image for which an image of a position corresponding to the abnormal portion in the read image data is enlarged and displayed, and
• in the inspection result screen, in a case where detected abnormal portions exceed an upper limit to be displayed at one time in the second region, together with displaying the normal enlarged image and abnormal enlarged image corresponding to a portion of the abnormal portions, an operation object for switching to a display of a non-displayed normal enlarged image and abnormal enlarged image is displayed.
