Appl. No.:

17/192677

Inventors:

- Tokyo, JP
Charles Armstrong - Rancho Santa Margarita CA, US

International Classification:

G06F 3/12
G06K 9/62

Abstract:

A system provides features for retrieving a print job. The print job includes print data, a source application and source job data type. The system determines if the print job requires a user activity analysis based on the source application and the source job data type. If user activity analysis is required, request a user-activity machine-learning model to provide user activity analysis data. The system establishes a relation between the print job and the user activity analysis data to generate input information to a job-data classification machine-learning model. The job-data classification machine-learning model provides print job data classification details as input information to a print setting recommendation learning model. The print setting recommendation machine-learning model processes the received print job data classification details and outputs a print setting recommendation. The system applies the print setting recommendation to the print job and processes the print job on the image processing device.
