[0007]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the configuration of a system for executing the warranty bundling method according to the present embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 1, a system for executing the warranty bundling method according to the present embodiment includes a bar code reader (reading means) 20 for reading a bar code, and character data for reading the read bar code. And a printer (output means) 40 for printing and outputting the converted character data. The nameplate 15 of the product 10 is coded in advance with the contents of the nameplate 15 in the manufacturing process. With a barcode. The warranty label HL in the figure is output as a barcode from the printer 40.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of the nameplate 15 of FIG. As shown in FIG. 2, in the manufacturing process of the product 10, when the product identification item SK such as the date of manufacture, model number, serial number, and specification is written on the nameplate 15, The coded and printed barcode label 18 can be attached.

The bar code of the bar code label 18 and the bar code reader 20 will be described with reference to FIGS.

At the time of the packing operation, the bar code reader 20 reads the bar code of the bar code label 18 previously attached to the nameplate 15 by the operation of the packing worker, and sends the bar code data to the data processing means 30. .

The data processing means 30 converts the bar code data into character data and sends it to the printer 40 together with the bar code.

The printer 40 prints out the bar code sent from the data processing means 30 on a warranty label HL.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of use of the warranty label HL of FIG. As shown in FIG. 3, when the printer 40 prints out the bar code on the warranty label HL, at the same time, prints out the character data of the product specification item SK sent from the data processing means 30 directly on the warranty HS.

The packing operator attaches a warranty label HL to the output warranty HS and packs it together with the product 10.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the flow of the operation of FIG.

Referring to FIG. 4, the flow of the warranty bundling method according to the present embodiment will be described.

In the production process of the product, when the nameplate 15 on which the product specific items SK such as the production date, model number, serial number and specifications are described,
The data of this product specific item SK is displayed on the barcode label 18
And affixed to the nameplate 15 as shown in FIG. 2 (not shown).

The packing worker accepts the product 10 (step S1).

It is determined whether or not a bar code label 18 is attached to the name plate 15 of the product 10 (Step S2).

When the bar code label 18 is attached (Yes in the figure), the bar code label 18 is read by the bar code reader 20 (step S3).

The data processing means 30 converts the data of the bar code label 18 sent from the bar code reader 20 into character data, and sends from the printer 40 a product specifying item SK.
Is printed out on the warranty card HS, and at the same time, the data of the bar code label 18 is kept as a bar code and the warranty card label HL
(Step S4).

The packing operator attaches the warranty label HL to the warranty HS, packs the product and the warranty HS (step S5), and ends the packing operation of the product 10.

In step S2, the barcode label 18 is not attached to the nameplate 15 (No in the figure).
In this case, the packing worker packs the product 10 and the warranty card HS prepared in advance with reference to the name plate 15 of the product 10 (step S6), and ends the packing operation.

The warranty bundling method according to the embodiment is configured as described above, and has the following effects.

The product identification item SK for each product 10 is printed on a bar code label 18 and the name plate 15 of each product 10 is printed.
By pasting it in advance, the packing worker can
5 is read with a barcode reader, the contents of this barcode are printed on the warranty certificate HS, and the barcode is printed on the warranty label HL and affixed to the warranty certificate HS. Can be packed without mismatch.

When this product is sold at a store, the warranty label HL on which the barcode is printed is read by a barcode reader, and the data of the warranty label HL is sent to a distributor or manufacturer of the product 10 via a network such as the Internet. , The distributor or the manufacturer can grasp the sales situation of the product 10 at the store in real time.

In the present embodiment, the present invention is not limited to this, and can be applied to a warranty bundling method suitable for applying the present invention.

The number, position, shape, and the like of the above-mentioned constituent members are not limited to the above-described embodiment, but can be set to a number, position, shape, and the like suitable for implementing the present invention.

In the drawings, the same components are denoted by the same reference numerals.

[0032]

Since the present invention is configured as described above, the following effects can be obtained.

Items printed on the warranty card, such as the serial number of each product, are printed on a bar code label and pasted on the name plate of each product in advance, so that the packing operator can put the bar code on the name plate into a bar. By reading the barcode with a code reader and outputting this barcode on a warranty or a barcode label attached to the warranty, the product and the warranty are packed without mismatch.

By reading the warranty label with a bar code reader and transmitting the data to the product supplier via the Internet when selling the product at the store, the supplier can load the product at the store without burdening the store. The sales situation of products in stores can be grasped in real time.
