System and method for retrieving and displaying print attributes using augmented reality

A system for automatically capturing and displaying a predetermined set of print attributes of a print job, the system comprising:

• one or more computer processors;
• one or more computer readable storage media;
• a camera;
• and,
• program instructions stored on the computer readable storage media for execution by at least one of the one or more computer processors, the program instructions comprising:
• program instructions to receive an image of a first printed sheet, the first printed sheet comprising a printed image and one or more at least partial machine-readable codes encoded with data related to the predetermined set of print attributes;
• program instructions to decode the data from the one or more at least partial machine-readable codes;
• program instructions to determine if the decoded data includes all of the print attributes in the predetermined set of print attributes;
• and,
• program instructions to, if the decoded data includes all of the print attributes in the predetermined set of print attributes, display the data using augmented reality (AR) over the first printed sheet.

A method of automatically detecting and displaying a predetermined set of print attributes of a print job, the method comprising:

• receiving an image of a first printed sheet, the first printed sheet comprising a plurality of partial machine-readable codes, the plurality of partial machine-readable codes encoded with data related to the predetermined set of print attributes;
• reconstructing a full machine-readable code from the plurality of partial machine-readable codes;
• decoding the data from the full machine-readable code;
• determining if the decoded data includes all of the print attributes in the predetermined set of print attributes;
• and,
• if the data includes all of the print attributes in the predetermined set of print attributes, displaying the data as objects and/or human-readable text using augmented reality (AR) over the first printed sheet.
