Drawings
FIG. 1 is a flowchart illustrating a method for communication of a consumable chip according to the present invention.
Detailed Description
The following are specific embodiments of the present invention and are further described with reference to the drawings, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.
The consumable chip comprises a storage unit, a control unit and a communication unit. The storage unit is used for storing the code table information, the function configuration parameters and the fixed feedback data area of the consumable parts. The control unit controls the consumable chip to work, can store data in the storage unit, can read the data of the storage unit, and can carry out two-way communication with the imaging equipment through the communication unit.
In order to realize permanent communication use with the imaging device, the storage unit is set as follows: the storage unit stores two code table information, namely first code table information and second code table information, and the initial contents of the first code table information and the second code table information are set to be the same. The function configuration parameters comprise parameters of a use mode (a multi-use mode of one-time/multi-time serial number switching, parameters or a permanent use mode of one-time/multi-time serial number switching), read-write time, erasing time, reset times in multi-use, configuration voltage, frequency and the like. For example, setting the permanent usage mode parameter to 11 and the non-permanent usage mode parameter to non-11 allows the usage mode to be determined when 11 or non-11 is identified. The fixed feedback data area is used for storing feedback data generated in response to a specific command, for example, when a verification command sent by the imaging device is the specific command, the fixed feedback data area stores feedback data generated when the consumable chip receives the verification command. Specifically, when the consumable chip receives a verification command sent by the imaging device, a verification code is fed back to the imaging device, wherein the verification code is feedback data generated based on the verification command. The storage unit includes a volatile storage unit and a nonvolatile storage unit, and preferably stores the code table information, the function configuration parameters, and the fixed feedback data area of the consumable part in the nonvolatile storage unit.
The control unit establishes a permanent communication rule in communication with the image forming apparatus under the information stored by the storage unit. When receiving a check command sent by the imaging equipment, the control unit feeds back feedback data of the check command in the fixed feedback data area to the imaging equipment, so that the imaging equipment reports an error when receiving the feedback data of the check command in the fixed feedback data; during error reporting of the imaging equipment, replacing the initially configured first code table information with second code table information; after the configuration of the second code table information, the second code table information can be used for communicating with the imaging device after the consumable chip is powered on again.
Wherein, the feedback data of the check command in the fixed feedback data area is as follows: after receiving the check command sent by the imaging equipment, before feeding back the feedback data of the check command in the fixed feedback data area to the imaging equipment, the real-time data fed back by the consumable chip after receiving the check command sent by the imaging equipment is prestored in the fixed feedback data area. Therefore, the imaging equipment error reporting state is permanently bound with the second code table information, and as long as the second code table information is not changed, the imaging equipment cannot jump out of the permanent use state, so that the consumable chip can still be received and used by the imaging equipment after being electrified again.
The control unit feeds back feedback data of the verification command in the fixed feedback data area to an action triggering condition of the imaging device when receiving the verification command sent by the imaging device, the action triggering condition can be preset in the control unit, and when the condition is met, a permanent binding process can be executed. The triggering condition may be that the number of times that the consumable chip receives the verification command sent by the imaging device reaches a certain set value, for example, when the number of times is set, or the consumable chip detects that the number of printed pages or the printing time reaches a certain threshold, for example, a page number threshold or a time threshold, or the consumable chip detects that the consumption amount or the residual amount of the consumable reaches a certain threshold, for example, the consumption amount or the residual amount of the consumable reaches a certain threshold, or the consumable chip identifies a specific identifier, for example, when the identifier is triggered.
Based on the trigger condition, the storage unit also stores a time set value, a page number threshold value, a time threshold value, a consumable threshold value or a trigger identifier; when the number of times of receiving a verification command sent by the imaging equipment reaches a set number of times, or when the number of printed pages reaches a page number threshold value, or when the printing time reaches a time threshold value, or when the consumption amount of consumables or the remaining amount of consumables reaches a consumable threshold value; or when the trigger identifier is identified, feedback data of the verification command in the fixed feedback data area is fed back to the imaging device.
In order to ensure that the consumable quantity recorded by the consumable chip is available in the permanent binding state, otherwise, in the communication process of the imaging device and the consumable chip, the printing is stopped due to insufficient consumable quantity, and the problem can be solved only by repeatedly electrifying. The storage unit also stores consumable use thresholds. And when the control unit detects that the consumption of the consumable materials reaches the consumable material use threshold value and receives a verification command sent by the imaging equipment, the control unit feeds back feedback data of the verification command in the fixed feedback data area to the imaging equipment. Wherein, the feedback data of the check command in the fixed feedback data area is as follows: before the consumption of the consumable materials reaches a threshold value, real-time data fed back by the consumable material chip after receiving a verification command sent by the imaging equipment are stored in a fixed feedback data area. The consumable usage threshold is at least half of the total ink volume, preferably close to full ink value, such as 80% -99% of the total ink volume. When the control unit detects that the consumption of the consumable materials reaches a threshold value, real-time data fed back by receiving a verification command sent by the imaging equipment are not stored in a fixed feedback data area any more.
The consumable chip is configured to be in a permanent use mode in a stage of using the first code table information, before the consumable chip communicates with the imaging device, namely after the consumable chip is powered on and before the consumable chip starts the kernel to wait for the imaging device to send commands and data. And the control unit reads and judges the function configuration parameters after the consumable chip is powered on, and configures the consumable chip into a permanent use mode in a stage of using the first code table information when the function configuration parameters stored in the storage unit are judged to be the permanent use configuration parameters.
The invention sets the permanent mode to include two stages, namely the stage of using the first code table information and the stage of using the second code table information. When the initial configuration, configure into the permanent mode that uses first code table information stage with the consumptive material chip, later bind imaging device error report state and second code table information together, the consumptive material chip is configured into the permanent mode that uses second code table information stage promptly, under the prerequisite that does not change code table information, as long as the consumptive material chip is as long as power on the back again, just can communicate with imaging device, realize the consumptive material chip permanent use through power on again many times.
The invention also provides an ink box which is provided with the consumable chip. When the ink box is installed on the imaging device, the consumable chip is utilized to communicate with the imaging device. After the consumable chip is adopted, the ink box can be filled with ink again after ink is exhausted, and the ink box is used in a full ink state or an approximately full ink state. Like this, the consumptive material can reuse, avoids the consumptive material extravagant.
Referring to fig. 1, according to the consumable chip, the present invention further provides a consumable communication method, including:
s01, when the consumable chip receives the check command sent by the imaging device, the consumable chip feeds back the feedback data of the check command in the fixed feedback data area to the imaging device, so that the imaging device reports an error when receiving the feedback data of the check command in the fixed feedback data; wherein, the feedback data of the check command in the fixed feedback data area is as follows: real-time data fed back by the consumable chip after receiving the verification command sent by the imaging equipment are prestored in the fixed feedback data area;
s02, during the error reporting period of the imaging device, the permanent use mode of the initial configuration of the consumable chip in the stage of using the first code table information is changed into the permanent use mode in the stage of using the second code table information; the initial content of the second code table information is the same as the initial content of the first code table information;
and S03, the consumable chip can use the second code table information to communicate with the imaging device after being powered on again.
In step S01, the verification command may be a type of command or a set of commands, and the consumable chip obtains the corresponding feedback data in the fixed feedback data area according to the verification command and feeds the feedback data back to the imaging device. And if the imaging equipment cannot pass the verification authentication when receiving the verification command in the fixed feedback data, the imaging equipment actively reports an error. Wherein the feedback data stored in the fixed feedback data area is pre-stored before the feedback step is performed. Previously, the consumable chip communicates with the imaging device, receives various commands, generates feedback data for the various commands, and sends the feedback data to the imaging device. For the check command among the various commands, the feedback data of the check command is stored in the fixed feedback data area in addition to being transmitted to the image forming apparatus.
When feedback of the feedback data in the fixed feedback data area to the image forming apparatus is performed, the trigger condition may be set as necessary: the number of times that the consumable chip receives the verification command sent by the imaging device reaches a certain set value, or the consumption amount or the remaining amount of the consumable reaches a certain threshold, or a specific identifier is identified.
In order to ensure that the consumable quantity recorded by the consumable chip is available in the permanent binding state, otherwise, in the communication process of the imaging device and the consumable chip, the printing is stopped due to insufficient consumable quantity, and the problem can be solved only by repeatedly electrifying. The preferred trigger conditions are: when the consumption of the consumable materials reaches the consumption threshold value, the consumable chip feeds back the feedback data of the verification command in the fixed feedback data area to the imaging equipment when receiving the verification command sent by the imaging equipment. Wherein, the feedback data of the check command in the fixed feedback data area is as follows: before the consumption of the consumable materials reaches the consumption threshold value, the real-time data fed back by the consumable material chip after receiving the verification command sent by the imaging equipment is stored in the fixed feedback data area. Meanwhile, when the consumption of the consumable materials reaches the consumption threshold value of the consumable materials, the real-time data fed back by the consumable material chip after receiving the verification command sent by the imaging equipment is not stored in the fixed feedback data area any more, namely, the writing of the feedback data in the fixed feedback data area is stopped.
In step S02, the imaging device actively reports an error and enters an error reporting state, at this time, the code table information is changed into the second code table information, which is equivalent to permanently binding the error reporting state with the second code table information, and as long as the code table information is not changed, the imaging device does not jump out of the permanent use state. Then, through step S03, power is turned on again, the consumable chip kernel is turned on, and the second code table information is used all the time to perform normal operation. When the ink amount is exhausted, the consumable is refilled and electrified again, the recorded consumable is recovered to the consumable use threshold value, the reuse of the consumable and the consumable chip is realized until the ink amount is exhausted again, and the ink can be reused by the method.
The method further comprises a configuration step before the consumable chip communicates with the imaging device, namely, the method further comprises the configuration step before the steps S01-S03 are carried out. The method specifically comprises the following steps: after the consumable chip is powered on, the consumable chip is configured to be in a permanent use mode in a first code table information stage, and the working state of the imaging equipment is started and responded. The second code table information is stored in the consumable chip.
The process that the consumable chip is configured to use the permanent use mode of the first code table information stage is specifically as follows: when the consumable chip judges that the functional configuration parameters stored in the consumable chip are the permanent use configuration parameters, the consumable chip is configured to use the permanent use mode of the first code table information stage. The method comprises the steps that a plurality of function configuration parameters are provided, after the consumable chip is powered on, the function configuration parameters are read firstly, whether the function configuration parameters are permanent use configuration parameters or not is judged, if yes, the consumable chip is set to be in a permanent use mode, and the code table information is executed to the first code table information.
The consumable chip is powered on again in any one of the following modes: in the first mode, the consumable container is reloaded; in the second mode, the imaging equipment is powered on again; and in the third mode, the consumable chip is plugged and powered on. Therefore, the consumable chip is powered on again by different means, and after each time of power on, the consumable chip and the imaging device start to communicate from a new state.
The following is a specific example of the method according to the present invention, taking the way of checking the command as the command group (a, B) as an example, the fixed feedback data area is divided into an a fixed feedback data area and a B fixed feedback data area. After the consumable chip is powered on, the control unit is used for reading the function configuration parameters in the storage unit, judging whether the function configuration parameters are the permanent use configuration parameters or not, if so, configuring the consumable chip into a permanent use mode, and configuring the consumable chip into data using the first code table information. Thereafter, the control unit turns on the consumable chip kernel to enable the consumable chip kernel to work normally, and then waits for an image forming apparatus, such as a printer, to transmit commands and data.
The consumable chip receives the command group sent by the printer and records the feedback data of the relevant command group, such as the feedback data of the verification command group. If receiving the command A, recording the feedback data of the command A and writing the feedback data into an A fixed feedback data area in the flash; and if the command B is received, recording the feedback data of the command B and writing the feedback data into a B fixed feedback data area in the flash. When the ink usage amount of the consumable reaches the consumable usage threshold, the control unit stops the operation of recording the feedback data of the command set, and then waits for the printer to send the command and data.
And then, when the consumable chip receives the command sent by the printer again, once the command is judged to be the command A or the command B, the feedback data of the command A is read from the A fixed feedback data area and the feedback data of the command B is read from the B fixed feedback data area and fed back to the printer. Then, the printer will actively report an error and enter an error reporting state. Meanwhile, the control unit points the code table information used by the chip to the second code table information, namely the consumable chip is in a permanent use mode in a stage of using the second code table information, and the second code table information is bound with the error report state. As long as the code table information is not changed, the binding cannot be unbound, so that the consumable chip can still be reused when being electrified again and identified by the imaging equipment until the consumable chip is electrified again and used after being filled with ink after the ink is exhausted. The consumable use threshold value is set to be close to a full ink value as far as possible, so that the consumable can be used sufficiently in a long using process every time, and the power-on operation times are reduced.
It will be appreciated by persons skilled in the art that the embodiments of the invention described above and shown in the drawings are given by way of example only and are not limiting of the invention. The objects of the present invention have been fully and effectively accomplished. The functional and structural principles of the present invention have been shown and described in the examples, and any variations or modifications of the embodiments of the present invention may be made without departing from the principles.
