Method and apparatus for optimizing scheduling in imaging devices

摘要

A method of scheduling a job in an imaging system includes detecting criteria (S100, S101, S102) of the job, determining applicable constraints (S103) based upon one or more of the criteria, inputs entered into the imaging system and/or operating the imaging system (S104) to output the job (S105) such that the constraints are satisfied, thereby maximizing output. Each job includes a plurality of images to be processed by the imaging system, which includes at least one imaging device. As a result, the scheduling of jobs is carried out in an effective and efficient manner.
