Referring now to Figure 1A and Figure 1B,, illustrate exemplary integrated intelligent labeling 100, it can comprise the machine-readable markers 102 that is limited bottom electron device (underlying electronics) 104.Machine-readable markers 102 (for example, bar code) can be represented unique alphanumeric sign indicating number (for example, sequence number, Universial Product Code (UPC), global trade bullets (GTIN)) of being associated with object.In the example of Figure 1A and Figure 1B, machine-readable markers 102 is that the bar code of the numerical character (for example, 1,2,3 and 4) of example is represented.In some implementations, the mechanism of maker or other type can use to be positioned at by the barcode reader of the visual line of sight of the object of suitable orientation and read the bar code on the object.Barcode reader can be with the alphanumeric sign indicating number of bar code decoding to confirm to be associated with object.This alphanumeric sign indicating number can be transferred into and be positioned at in-house computing machine, just can identify object as long as this computing machine is known the unique identification sign indicating number of object.
Yet the exemplary integrated intelligent labeling 100 of Figure 1A and Figure 1B also can play the effect of RFID labeling.Specifically, scanner may be implemented as to integrated intelligent labeling 100 write datas and/or from integrated intelligent labeling 100 read datas.As being mentioned with top, the data acquisition that the RFID functional support is bigger, said data include but not limited to unique identification sign indicating number, manufacturer sign indicating number and product type code.
In some implementations, maker can be associated each goods and the raw material that use in additional data and this mechanism.As stated, and only allow an identification code is compared with the bar code that object is associated, on object, use the RFID label can allow additional data (for example, bigger the set of unique identification sign indicating number) is associated with object.In some implementations, maker can use special software with rfid system, the additional data that provides with use and they of RFID label.Said software can specified data form and decoding and processing that can management data.For example; Maker can use rfid system, along with object moves in maker, reads the RFID label of object in the different phase of manufacture process; Collect the data about object thus, this process need not correct directed object in the visual line of sight of barcode reader.Yet, special software is used and can be increased extra-pay and expense to manufacture process with rfid system.
In some implementations, object can comprise the printing labeling that has machine-readable markers (for example, bar code) and RFID label.As stated, rfid system can read a plurality of unique identification sign indicating numbers of intelligent labeling with the acquisition object, and barcode reader can read bar code to obtain the single identification code of object.On object, use this labeling of two types can allow difference in production life cycle to use wherein a kind of or these two kinds of labelings are followed the tracks of object.For example, rfid system can be followed the tracks of object in the manufacture process in factory, and uses the system of barcode reader from the factory to client, to follow the tracks of object.
Integrated intelligent labeling 100 visually shows as machine-readable markers 102, but can be limited the electron device that comprises the RFID label 104.For example, can print said electron device by functions of use property printing ink.Specifically, printing process can be printed as the electronic circuit with pattern that standard bar can read with integrated intelligent labeling 100.In the implementation of Figure 1A and Figure 1B, machine-readable markers 102 is the bar codes with perpendicular line of a series of variable-widths, variable spaced.In the implementation of Figure 1A and Figure 1B, printing electron device 104 produces active RFID tag, and the assembly of this RFID label comprises battery 106, transistor 108, storer 110 and antenna 112.Printing electron device 104 also can comprise the interconnection line (for example, interconnection line 114a is to 114h) between the assembly.Integrated intelligent labeling 100 can comprise the machine-readable markers 102 of the single unique identification sign indicating number that is used for object and the additional identification sign indicating number that is included in the printing electron device 104 of RFID label.In some implementations, the RFID label can comprise the unique identification sign indicating number of bar code and the additional identification sign indicating number of object.
In some implementations, functional ink can be printed the passive RFID tags that does not need power supply (for example, battery).In some implementations, functional ink can be printed passive RFID tags, and this passive RFID tags comprises and is used for helping when needed to the tag-powered additional passive assembly of RFID (for example, capacitor).Integrated intelligent labeling 100 is integrated into single printing labeling with RFID label and machine-readable markers.Integrated intelligent labeling 100 can be to generate intelligent labeling by labeling printer functions of use property printing ink.
In some implementations, the labeling printer can be printed on integrated intelligent labeling 100 on paper, plastics or the fabric.In some implementations; The labeling printer can (for example be printed onto integrated intelligent labeling 100 on the labeling that can be attached on the object; Printer can be printed on one or one with integrated intelligent labeling 100 and roll up on the viscosity labeling, and wherein each labeling can be attached on its related object).
Integrated intelligent labeling 100 can be used as single printing labeling and is placed on the object; Said single printing labeling has and comprises the two machine-readable markers of bar code and RFID function, thereby need not to have the independent printing labeling of machine-readable markers and independent RFID label.This can be for object produces from the more gratifying packing of aesthetic view point, and helps to reduce packing cost.In addition, RFID reader and bar code scanner can read integrated intelligent labeling 100 interchangeably.Along with rfid system become be more prone to realize and cost lower, this can allow from using barcode reader and bar code labeling to be converted to the rfid system that reads the RFID label gradually.
In some implementations, use integrated intelligent labeling 100 can allow dissimilar systems at different time point and at different area tracking objects.In some cases, can follow the tracks of object based on the system of RFID reader, and in other situation, the system of the read machine raadable mark system of barcode reader (for example, based on) can follow the tracks of object.
Printer can be on light background be printed as dark mark with the machine-readable markers (for example, perpendicular line, data matrix) of bar code, so that barcode reader is scanned and the decoding bar font code exactly.This leaves enough contrasts between mark and background, so that reader can distinguish mark from background, thereby correctly read the reconciliation code labeling.In the implementation of Figure 1A and Figure 1B, machine-readable markers 102 is the black bar font codes on the white background.Yet bar-code printer can use other monochromes to come the printed bar code labeling, as long as the saturation degree of this color is enough to make barcode reader that it is distinguished from light color or white background.
In some implementations, colored labeling printer can use three-colour printing to handle (for example, red, green and blue) and produce black, with the machine-readable markers of process black on white background.In some implementations, use the colored labeling printer of the combination of graphic arts printing ink and functional ink can print integrated intelligent labeling 100.For example, colored labeling printer can use red functional ink printing electron device 104, and uses green and blue color planes art printing ink on printing electron device 104, to print to produce the machine-readable markers 102 of black.In some implementations,, use four-color process the colored labeling printer of graphic arts printing ink and functional ink (for example, the black of redness, green and blue functional ink and graphic arts printing ink) can print integrated intelligent labeling 100 in handling.For example, colored labeling printer can print each assembly (for example, printer can be used rubric battery 106 with antenna 112, with green printing transistor 108 and with blue printed memory 110) with various colors.This can produce the labeling of polychrome.Black graphic arts printing ink can be with black printing machine-readable markers 102, to generate consequent integrated intelligent labeling 100 on printing electron device 104.This can guarantee that barcode reader can read the bar code of machine-readable markers 102.
In the implementation of Figure 1A and Figure 1B, each mark in the machine-readable markers 102 (for example, each vertical bar in the bar code) all comprises the printing electron device.In some implementations, the many marks in the machine-readable markers can not comprise electron device (for example, the vertical bar in the bar code can not comprise the printing electron device).In this implementation, machine-readable markers representes that the required mark of unique identification sign indicating number can be more than the number that produces the needed electronic package of RFID label.For example, when with functional ink printing integrated intelligent labeling, machine-readable markers can be included in passive block in the mark.For example; When printing the integrated intelligent labeling with the combination of functional ink and graphic arts printing ink; The labeling printer can print such machine-readable markers: wherein some mark prints with functional ink, and some mark only prints with graphic arts printing ink.
In some implementations, the integrated intelligent labeling can comprise the assembly in the mark in the machine-readable markers that is not printed on functions of use property printing ink.For example, the labeling printer can print the partly integrated intelligent labeling that has merged active RFID tag, and this active RFID tag comprises the printing electronic package of the antenna, transistor and the storer that are used for the RFID label.The battery of RFID label can be the external module of making in advance, be connected to this partly integrated intelligent labeling.In another example, the labeling printer can print the partly integrated intelligent labeling that has merged passive RFID tags, and this passive RFID tags comprises and is used for antenna and transistorized printing electronic package.The storer of RFID label can be the external module that is connected to this partly integrated intelligent labeling.For example, the number of the mark in bar code provides under the situation of enough printing area for the required necessary electron device of RFID label, possibly need to produce partly integrated intelligent labeling.

In step 604, confirm barcode format.For example; Bar code generates system's (it can be same system with the system of definite bar code) can generate the bar code that is used for the unique identification sign indicating number according to one dimension or the two-dimensional bar standard (for example, UPC, Code 93, Code 128, semicode, QR sign indicating number) selected in advance.For example, when using one-dimensional bar code (for example, the machine-readable markers 102 among Figure 1A and Figure 1B), bar code standards can be confirmed number, size and the layout of the vertical bar in the bar code.
In step 606, electronic package can be printed or arrange to form at least a portion of the bar code that is generated.The design that for example, be used in the RFID label (electronic package that for example, comprises battery, antenna, sensor and storer) in the integrated intelligent labeling can be confirmed in advance.For example, use the system's (for example, bar code generates system or another system) that is scheduled to the RFID label design can confirm the layout of RFID label assembly in the bar code that is generated of integrated intelligent labeling.This system also confirms after layout, how to connect said assembly.The layout of RFID label assembly in the bar code that is generated can be called as place and route with being connected.
Each electronic package of RFID label can comprise the profile (profile) of a part that limits machine-readable markers (bar code that for example, is generated).As used herein, term " profile " is meant profile or the profile of seeing said mark from the vertical view angle.Each outline definition is used for the part of the included machine-readable markers of each electronic package of integrated intelligent labeling of all types bar code, and said all types of bar codes include but not limited to one-dimensional bar code and two-dimensional bar.For example, referring to Figure 1A and Figure 1B, in general the profile of each electronic package is rectangle, and the width of rectangle has defined data.
The profile of antenna 112 can comprise the machine-readable markers 112a-112d that is identified.The profile of battery 106 can comprise machine-readable markers 106a.The profile of storer 110 can comprise machine-readable markers 110a.The profile of transistor 108 can comprise machine-readable markers 108a-c.Similarly, profile can define the part of machine-readable markers included in each in the electronic package for illustrated example bar code among Fig. 2 A and Fig. 2 B and Fig. 3 A and Fig. 3 B.As stated, in some implementations, can there be the machine-readable markers that is included in the passive block.In these implementations, the profile of passive block can comprise these machine-readable markers.
In step 608, can print the integrated intelligent labeling.For example, the labeling printer of functions of use property printing ink can print the integrated intelligent labeling through printing electronic package in the bar code that is generated.As described with reference to Figure 1A and Figure 1B, Fig. 2 A and Fig. 2 B and Fig. 3 A and Fig. 3 B, printer can also print passive block or use the typographic(al) mark in the bar code that does not comprise electronic package that is generated of graphic arts printing ink in the bar code that is generated.Standard bar can read the integrated intelligent labeling.Printed integrated intelligent labeling provides by the defined data of the profile of mark inherently.For example, said data can comprise the unique word alphameric identification code (for example, sequence number, Universial Product Code (UPC), global trade object numbering (GTIN)) that is associated with object.
In step 610, data can be stored in the electron device part (for example, storer) of integrated intelligent labeling.For example, can be stored in the storer of integrated intelligent labeling with the electronics mode from the same unique identification sign indicating number that mark reads.The additional data that includes but not limited to extra-code also can be stored in the storer of integrated intelligent labeling with the electronics mode.In such a manner, the data of storing with the electronics mode can be defined as first data, and can be defined as second data by the data of visually expression.In some implementations, second data can comprise first data and additional data.
In some implementations, the labeling printer can print unique identification sign indicating number and the data (for example, through saving some interconnection lines in the memory matrix) in the storer of integrated intelligent labeling.This labeling printing implementation can cause printing the ROM (read-only memory) that has wherein stored data.In some implementations, the labeling printer can print two types storer.The data that ROM (read-only memory) writes in the time of can being included in printed memory in advance, said data comprise the for example unique identification sign indicating number of RFID label.Read/writable memory device can be printed as and allow afterwards this storer to be write (for example, the additional identification sign indicating number can be added to the RFID label after the labeling printing).For example, comprise that the dress of intelligent labeling can have the printing ROM (read-only memory) that writes in advance, this storer comprises the UPC code of object.Additional read/writable memory device included in the RFID label can write afterwards, so that comprise the price of object.
In some implementations; System (for example; ERP, merchandise news system, bar-code printer system or integrated intelligent labeling printer system) can carry out the place and route of printing electron device in the bar code that is generated of RFID label, to produce the integrated intelligent labeling.The place and route process can be confirmed each electronic package position in the bar code that is generated.The place and route process also can confirm after layout, how to connect electronic package.The labeling printer can use this information to print electron device and complete integrated intelligent labeling.
This system can use design rule to confirm layout, wiring and the interconnection line of electronic package included in the integrated intelligent labeling.Design rule can comprise the length, the power consumption that minimizes assembly that minimize interconnection line, minimize the heat that assembly produces or minimize the interference between the assembly.In some implementations, the user can predesignate the layout of some electronic package (for example, antenna) in the integrated intelligent labeling.Then, the place and route process can confirm to remain the layout of assembly.
