Abstract
A system, method, and computer program product are provided for determining settings for a device. In use, a plurality of parameters associated with a device is identified. Additionally, one or more settings associated with the device are determined, based on the plurality of parameters.
Claims10
A method, comprising:
- identifying a plurality of parameters associated with a device, including descriptions of hardware and software installed within the device;
- creating a directed acyclic graph (DAG) including a plurality of nodes, where each of the nodes represents a unique variation of the plurality of parameters associated with the device;
- determining, for each of the plurality of nodes, a speed associated with the node, where the speed is determined based on the parameters represented by the node;
- directing the plurality of nodes within the DAG based on the speed associated with each node;
- and
- determining one or more settings associated with the device, based on the plurality of nodes within the DAG, including:
- identifying a node in the DAG that corresponds to the identified plurality of parameters associated with the device,
- determining a first subset of nodes in the DAG including nodes that are known to be slower than or equal in speed to the identified node,
- determining, from the first subset of nodes, a second subset of nodes including nodes for which a monotonic set of presets have been determined,
- identifying a final node from the second subset of nodes that has a determined monotonic set of presets having the highest output image quality within the second subset of nodes, and
- utilizing the determined monotonic set of presets of the identified final node as the one or more settings associated with the device.
