  As described above, the wrapping label is a special label that is used by three-dimensionally wrapping a flatly created one. Here, for example, when a large number of adherends are densely arranged and wound labels are attached to the respective adherends, a large number of wound labels provided on each of the numerous adherends are also closely arranged with each other. It becomes. In such a case, the print object printed on at least one of the first print surface and the second print surface of each label (hereinafter, simply referred to as “print surface” as appropriate) is another label that is densely packed so as to overlap. Become a shade. As a result, if the user does not perform an operation such as turning each label one by one in order, the user cannot find the target winding label, which is inconvenient. In the prior art described above, no particular consideration has been given to such a point.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a winding label creation processing program and a printing apparatus that can easily find a target winding label even when a large number of winding labels are densely arranged. There is.

  In order to achieve the above object, a wound label creation processing program according to the present invention includes a winding portion wound around a tubular or cable-shaped adherend, a first label portion including a first printing surface, and the first labeling portion. A second label portion provided continuously with one label portion and having a second print surface, and a print object is printed on at least one of the first print surface and the second print surface, and the winding portion Is wrapped around the outer periphery of the adherend, and the second label portion is folded back to the first label portion side so that the second printing surface is exposed on the surface. A pattern specifying procedure for specifying a pattern associated with a content of the print object through a predetermined correlation with respect to a calculation means of a terminal connected to the winding label creating apparatus; and the printing The object is formed on at least one of the first printing surface and the second printing surface, and the pattern specified by the pattern specifying procedure is an outer edge of at least one of the first printing surface and the second printing surface. Print data generation procedure for generating label print data with a pattern, which is formed in a part or the winding part, and print data for outputting the label print data with a pattern generated in the print data generation procedure to the creation device And an output procedure.

  In the present invention, a pattern is printed on the print surface or the winding portion separately from the print object. That is, when the winding label creation processing program is executed by the computing means of the terminal, the pattern associated with the print object is specified by the pattern specifying procedure. Examples of the correlation indicating this association include, for example, associating each print object recorded in the table with each pattern, a function represented by a predetermined calculation formula, and the like. Thereafter, in the print data generation procedure, label print data with a pattern including both the pattern specified by the correlation as described above and the edited print object is generated. Then, in the print data output procedure, the generated label print data with a pattern is output to the winding label producing apparatus.

  As a result, in the creation device, a printed label with a pattern in which a print object is formed on the printing surface and the pattern is formed on the outer edge (or winding portion) of the printing surface is created. As a result, even if the user does not see the print object on the print surface densely in a folded manner, the pattern on the outer edge portion (or the wrapping portion) of the print surface can be seen, for example, while looking at the material describing the correlation. By searching for, the target winding label can be easily found. As a result, convenience can be improved.

  According to the present invention, even when a large number of winding labels are densely arranged with each other, a target winding label can be easily found.

The database may be provided in the mass storage device 305 of the operation terminal 300A.

<Template>
In the above configuration, first, when creating the winding label 100, as shown in FIG. 8A, an edit screen including the template TP on the display unit 301 by operating the appropriate operation unit 302 on the operation terminal 300A. 301A is displayed. In this example, the template TP has an aspect equivalent to the appearance image of the wound label 100. The image of the wound portion 15, the first label portion 16, and the second label portion 17 (hereinafter simply referred to as appropriate). "Winding portion 15", "first label portion 16", "second label portion 17", etc.). The first label portion 16 is provided with a “Group” column 41, an “ID” column 42, a “First Name” column 43, and a “Last Name” column 44. A “Pattern” display field 45 indicating that the pattern M is arranged is arranged on the outer edge portion (upper edge portion) of the first label portion 16.

  It should be noted that the pattern M can be selected at which part of the winding label 100 by the operation of the operation unit 302 by the user. FIG. 8A shows a template TP corresponding to the case where the pattern M is arranged on the upper edge portion of the first label portion 16 as described above, and FIG. A template TP corresponding to the case where the pattern M is arranged on the upper edge portion is shown. As a result, in the editing screen 301 </ b> A of FIG. 8B, the “Pattern” display field 45 is arranged at the lower end of the first label portion 16. In addition to the above, for example, the pattern M can be arranged in the winding unit 15, and a corresponding template (not shown), in this case, in the editing screen including the template, the “Pattern” display field 45 is the winding unit. 15 is arranged.

<Database printing>
In the present embodiment, so-called database printing is performed in which the content of the character string assigned by the template TP described above is designated by a record of a database file. In this example, a plurality of “Name” files to which character strings are assigned are stored in the database DB. FIG. 9A shows an example of a “Name” file in the database DB.

  In the “Name” file shown in FIG. 9A, “ID” representing the identification number of each record, “Group” representing grouping of each record, and the first name and last name character strings included in each record are represented. Fields “First Name” and “Last Name” are provided.

  For example, in the record specified by “Group: B01” and “ID: 983964556”, the character string “Lncas” representing the first name among the first and last names of the person is assigned as the storage content of the field “First Name”. A character string “Hardcastle” is assigned as the storage content of the field “Last Name”.

  Similarly, in the record of “Group: A02” and “ID: 9070999262”, the character string “Andrew” is assigned to the field “First Name”, and the character string “Sheen” is assigned to the field “Last Name”. . Similarly, in the record “Group: A02” and “ID: 880362553”, the character string “Perceval” is assigned to the field “First Name”, and the character string “Lanfranc” is assigned to the field “Last Name”. Yes. Similarly, in the record of “Group: A01” and “ID: 442986452”, the character string “Innocent” is assigned to the field “First Name”, and the character string “Bagwell” is assigned to the field “Last Name”. Yes.

  When creating the winding label 100, the “Group” column 41, the “ID” column 42, the “First Name” column 43, and the “Last Name” column 44, which are provided in the template TP described above, are as described above. By designating and assigning the contents (character strings) of each record in the “Name” file, the corresponding winding labels 100 are sequentially created in the label creating apparatus 1.

  The wound label 100 generated by the database printing is shown in FIG. 10 (a) in a state of use attached to the cable 20. As shown in FIG. 10A, from the right side to the left side, “B01” and “983964566” correspond to the records of “Group: B01” and “ID: 983964566” on the first printing surface 16a of the first label portion 16. The character strings “Lncas” and “Hardcastle” are printed (however, in order to prevent complications, only the character string “Lncas” of FirstName is shown in the drawing, and the same applies hereinafter). ”“ Shen ”character string printed on the winding label 100B,“ A02 ”“ 880362553 ”“ Perceval ”“ Lanfranc ”character printed on the winding label 100C, and“ A01 ”“ 442298452 ”“ Innocent ”“ String of “Bagwell” A printed wound label 100D, is created (described later pattern M of each label).

<Pattern generation>
Here, as described above, in the present embodiment, in each winding label 100, characters corresponding to the “Group” column 41, the “ID” column 42, the “First Name” column 43, and the “Last Name” column 44, respectively. In addition to the columns, the pattern M corresponding to the “Pattern” display field 45 is printed. The pattern M on each wrapping label 100 is an appropriate one for the character strings included in the four fields (“Group”, “ID”, “FirstName”, “LastName”) of each record in the “Name” file of the database DB. By applying a hash function (detailed explanation is omitted), it is automatically generated by the CPU 303 of the operation terminal 300A.

  In general, a hash function is a calculation method for generating a fixed-length value without regularity from a given input value, and the obtained value becomes a “hash value”. Hash functions include an irreversible one-way function that is characterized by the fact that the same value can always be obtained from the same input value, but a completely different value can be obtained from a slightly different input value, so the input value is calculated from the hash value. There is a nature that cannot be done. In this example, by applying the hash function to the character string included in each record of the “Name” file, the pattern M is made of a combination of five filled portions and a blank portion, and the pattern M is different for each record. Is generated.

  According to the example shown in FIG. 9A, the hash function is applied to the character strings of “B01”, “983964556”, “Lncas”, and “Hardcastle” in the records of “Group: B01” and “ID: 9839645456”. As a result, as shown in FIG. 9 (b), in the above five combinations, the second and fourth are, for example, the above-described painted portions in black, and the other first, third, and fifth are A pattern M (□ ■ □ ■ □) in a form that becomes the blank portion is generated.

  Similarly, in the record of “Group: A02” and “ID: 9070999262”, as a result of applying the hash function to the character strings “A02”, “9070999262”, “Andrew”, and “Shen”, the first and third to fifth results A pattern M (■ □ ■■■) is generated in which the fill portion is the above and the second portion is the blank portion.

  Similarly, in the record of “Group: A02” and “ID: 880362553”, as a result of applying the above hash function to the character strings of “A02”, “8803625553”, “Perceval”, and “Lanfranc”, the second to fifth items are filled. A pattern M (□ ■■■■) is generated in which the first portion is the blank portion.

  Similarly, in the record of “Group: A01” and “ID: 442986452”, as a result of applying the hash function to the character strings of “A01”, “4429864452”, “Innocent”, and “Bagwell”, the first, third, A pattern M (■ □ ■ □ ■) is generated in which the fifth portion is the filled portion and the other second and fourth portions are the blank portions.

<Print pattern>
Then, each pattern M generated corresponding to each record as described above is generated when the winding label 100 is created by database printing using each record as described above. In addition, printing is formed. That is, in FIG. 10A, in the winding label 100A corresponding to the record of “Group: B01” and “ID: 983964556”, the characters such as “Lncas” on the first printing surface 16a of the first label portion 16 In addition to the rows, the pattern M (□□□ ■ □) of the above-described aspect is printed on the upper edge portion of the first printing surface 16a.

  Similarly, in the winding label 100B, in addition to the character string such as “Andrew”, the pattern M (■ □ ■■■) of the above-described mode is printed on the upper edge portion of the first printing surface 16a. Similarly, in the winding label 100C, in addition to the character string such as “Perceval”, the pattern M (□ ■■■■) in the above-described manner is printed on the upper edge portion of the first printing surface 16a. Similarly, in the winding label 100D, in addition to the character string such as “Innocent”, the pattern M (■ □ ■ □ ■) of the above-described mode is printed on the upper edge portion of the first printing surface 16a.

  In the present embodiment, the roughness of the pattern M, that is, whether the pattern M is relatively dense or sparse (for example, a combination of five filled portions or blank portions as described above, or It is possible to select a combination of three filled portions or a blank portion or the like according to the user's desire. For example, as shown in FIG. 11, in the roughness selection screen 301 </ b> B displayed on the display unit 301 of the operation terminal 300 </ b> A, together with the message “What is the roughness of the pattern?” "5 divisions" check box corresponding to the combination of four, "5 divisions" check box corresponding to the combination of four filled portions or blank portions, and "three division" check corresponding to the combination of three fill portions or blank portions And the roughness of the pattern constituting the pattern M can be selected by checking any one of the check boxes with an appropriate operation via the operation unit 302. The example shown in the figure shows a state in which the “5-divided” check box corresponding to the above-described example is checked.

  In the above description, the print contents in the first and second label portions 16 and 17 of each wound label 100 are associated with the pattern M using the hash function as a correlation. However, the present invention is not limited to this. That is, the association may be performed using a function other than the hash function represented by a predetermined calculation formula, or a table (one-to-one association between the print contents of each label 100 and the pattern M recorded) For example, the association may be performed using the operation terminal 300A or the portable terminal 300B in the memory 304) or an appropriate document chart.

<Search for winding labels using patterns>
As described above, in this embodiment, the pattern M formed on the upper edge portion of the first label portion 16 in a different manner as described above is used as a clue, for example, as shown in FIG. As described above, the winding label 100A (including the character string “Lncas” and the like), the winding label 100B (including the character string “Innocent” and the like), the winding label 100C (including the character string “Perceval” and the like), and the winding Even if the labels 100D (including the character string “Andrew” and the like) are densely arranged so as to be folded, the target winding label 100 can be found by searching for the corresponding pattern M. The search procedure at that time will be described in the following order.

<Label list>
As described above, the template TP and the “Name” file are used by the operation terminal 300 </ b> A, so that each of the wound labels 100 is created by database printing by the label creating apparatus 1, and then the “Name” file is created. Is transmitted from the operation terminal 300A to the portable terminal 300B. Thereby, as shown in FIG. 12, the label list LL based on the “Name” file is displayed on the list display screen 301C displayed on the display unit 301 of the mobile terminal 300B. In the label list LL, in order to display the record contents corresponding to the contents of the “Name” file shown in FIG. 9 and corresponding to each of the wound labels 100 created as described above, “Group”, “ Each column of “ID”, “FirstName”, and “LastName” is provided. The label list LL further includes a “Pattern” column for displaying the pattern M corresponding to each record. The displayed pattern M is uniquely generated by using the hash function in the portable terminal 300B as will be described later, but the pattern M generated on the operation terminal 300A side at the time of creating the label is obtained from the operation terminal 300. It may be received and displayed.

  That is, in the illustrated example, for example, each character string of Group: “A02”, ID: “907709262”, First Name: “Andrew”, and Last Name: “Shen” is printed on the first label portion 16. In the winding label 100 (that is, the winding label 100B shown in FIG. 10), as described above, the first and third to fifth portions are the filled portions, and the other second portion is the blank portion. It is displayed that the pattern M (■ □ ■■■) is formed.

  In addition, all of the first to fifth wrapping labels 100 on which character strings of Group: “B01”, ID: “249081381”, First Name: “Baldwin”, and Last Name: “Otway” are printed are formed. It is displayed that the pattern M (■■■■■) is formed as the above-mentioned filled portion.

  In addition, the wound label 100 in which each character string of Group: “B01”, ID: “2220880779”, First Name: “Cliford”, and Last Name: “Northman” is formed has the first, second, It is displayed that a pattern M (■■ □□ ■) is formed in which the fifth portion is the above-described filled portion and the third and fourth portions are the above-described blank portions.

  Further, for example, the wound label 100 in which each character string of Group: “A01”, ID: “442986452”, First Name: “Innocent”, and Last Name: “Bagwell” is printed on the first label portion 16 (that is, In the winding label 100D shown in FIG. 10, as described above, the first, third, and fifth are the filled portions, and the other second and fourth are the blank portions. It is displayed that the pattern M (■ □ ■ □ ■) is formed.

  In addition, the winding label 100 in which each character string of Group: “A02”, ID: “580339200”, First Name: “Jamie”, and Last Name: “Kilner” is formed has the second, third, It is displayed that a pattern M (□ ■■■ □) is formed in which the fourth portion is the above-mentioned filled portion and the other first and fifth portions are the above-mentioned blank portions.

  In addition, for example, the wound label 100 in which each character string of Group: “A02”, ID: “8803625553”, First Name: “Perceval”, Last Name: “Lanfranc” is printed on the first label portion 16 (that is, In the winding label 100C shown in FIG. 10, the pattern M (□ ■■■■, in which the second to fifth are the filled portions and the first is the blank portion as described above. ) Is formed.

<Search from list>
A search box KB is displayed above the label list LL on the list display screen 301C. The user appropriately operates the operation unit 302 of the mobile terminal 300B and inputs the print content of the target winding label 100 to the search box KB, thereby corresponding data included in the label list LL. You can search. In the illustrated example, “Jamie” is input to the search box KB, and the corresponding data (Group: “A02”, ID: “580339200”, First Name: “Jamie”, Last Name: “Kilner” data) Is highlighted (with the display of the pattern M), so that the user can use the pattern M (in this example, the pattern □ ■■■ □) specified as an image in this data as a clue. The target winding label 100 can be found out.

<Control procedure executed by operation terminal>
In order to realize the above method, first, the control procedure executed by the CPU 303 of the operation terminal 300A is shown in the flow of FIG. In FIG. 13, this flow is started, for example, when the operation terminal 300 is turned on.

  First, in step S10, the CPU 303 of the operation terminal 300A outputs a control signal to the display unit 301 to display the editing screen 301A, and accepts creation of the template TP by an appropriate operation via the operation unit 302. . For example, a plurality of types of templates TP are prepared in advance in the large-capacity storage device 305, and a user selects an appropriate one from the plurality of types of templates TP by an operation via the operation unit 302. Also good. Further, the selected item may be appropriately arranged by operating the operation unit 302. By creating this template TP, when a database DB file is selected in step S20, which will be described later, how to allocate the data of each record included in the file (for example, in the above example, the data of each record (character string) ) Are assigned to four fields of “ID”, “Group”, “First Name”, and “Last Name”.

  Thereafter, in step S15, the CPU 303 of the operation terminal 300A executes a pattern setting process.

  FIG. 14 shows a flow representing the detailed procedure of step S15. In FIG. 14, first, in step S <b> 16, the CPU 303 of the operation terminal 300 </ b> A determines whether or not an additional portion of the pattern M has been selected by an appropriate operation via the operation unit 302. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 8A, the upper edge portion of the first label portion 16 is selected as the additional portion, and in the example shown in FIG. This is a case where the lower edge portion is selected as the additional portion. As described above, the upper edge portion or the lower edge portion of the second label portion 17 is not limited to the first label portion 16, and the winding portion 15 can also be selected as the additional portion. Of these, a plurality of locations can be selected simultaneously. In this way, the determination in step S16 is not satisfied (S16: NO) and one of the parts is selected as an additional part of the pattern M, and the loop waits. If the addition location of the pattern M is selected, determination of step S16 will be satisfy | filled (S16: YES), and it transfers to step S17. This step S16 corresponds to the second receiving procedure described in each claim.

  In step S17, the CPU 303 of the operation terminal 300A adds a “Pattern” display field 45 for assigning the pattern M to the location selected in step S16 in the template TP created in FIG.

  Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S18, in which the CPU 303 of the operation terminal 300A outputs a control signal to the display unit 301 to display the roughness selection screen 301B (see FIG. 11) and performs an appropriate operation via the operation unit 302. Then, it is determined whether the roughness mode of the pattern M has been selected. As described above, in the example shown in FIG. 11, any one of “5 divisions”, “4 divisions”, and “3 divisions” can be selected as the roughness setting of the combination of the filled portion or the blank portion. In this way, the determination in step S16 is not satisfied until one of the roughness modes is selected (S18: NO), and a loop standby is performed. If the roughness mode of the pattern M is selected, the determination in step S18 is satisfied (S18: YES), and the process proceeds to step S20 in FIG. This step S18 corresponds to the first reception procedure described in each claim.

  Returning to FIG. 13, in step S <b> 20, the CPU 303 of the operation terminal 300 </ b> A accepts selection of a file in the database DB to be subjected to the database printing by an appropriate operation via the operation unit 302. In the above example, the “Name” file in the database DB is selected.

  Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S25, and the CPU 303 of the operation terminal 300A determines whether or not there has been a label creation instruction by an appropriate operation via the operation unit 302. Until the label creation instruction is given, the determination in step S25 is not satisfied (S25: NO), and a loop waits until this determination is satisfied. If a label production instruction is given, the determination in step S25 is satisfied (S25: YES), and the process proceeds to step S30.

  In step S30, the CPU 303 of the operation terminal 300A executes a label printing process.

  FIG. 15 shows a flow representing the detailed procedure of step S30. In FIG. 15, first, in step S31, the CPU 303 of the operation terminal 300A acquires the database DB file (“Name” file in the above example) selected in step S20, and for each record of the file, A hash key is generated from data (character string) included in the record. In the above example, for example, one character string obtained by concatenating all the data (character strings) of the fields “Group”, “ID”, “FirstName”, and “LastName” is used as the key of the hash. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S32.

  In step S32, the CPU 303 of the operation terminal 300A converts the hash key generated for each record in step S31 into a hash value for each record using a predetermined hash function.

  Thereafter, in step S33, the CPU 303 of the operation terminal 300A generates a corresponding pattern M image for each record from the hash value converted in step S32. In this example, as described above, the image of the pattern M is generated by the pattern of the combination of the filled portion (the above “■”) and the blank portion (the above-mentioned □). At that time, the image of the pattern M is generated based on the roughness selected in step S18 (5 divisions in the above example). Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S34.

  In step S34, the CPU 303 of the operation terminal 300A generates an image of data (character string) included in the record for each record of the file acquired in step S31. In the above example, for each record, an image of the data (character string) in each field of “Group”, “ID”, “FirstName”, and “LastName” (in other words, an image corresponding to the above-described print R1, R2) is generated. To do.

  Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S35, and the CPU 303 of the operation terminal 300A synthesizes the pattern M image generated in step S33 and the character string image generated in step S34 (in other words, an image other than the pattern M).

  Thereafter, in step S36, the CPU 303 of the operation terminal 300A transmits print data including the composite image generated in step S35 to the label producing apparatus 1 via the communication control unit 306. Thereafter, this flow is ended and the flow returns to FIG. 13, and the flow of FIG. 13 is also ended.

  In the above description, steps S31 and S32 correspond to the pattern specifying procedure described in each claim, steps S33, S34, and S35 correspond to the print data generation procedure described in each claim, and step S36. Corresponds to the print data output procedure described in each claim.

<Control procedure executed by label producing apparatus>
Next, the control procedure executed by the control circuit 2 (specifically, the CPU; hereinafter the same) of the label producing apparatus 1 will be described with reference to the flow of FIG. In FIG. 16, this flow is started, for example, when the power of the label producing apparatus 1 is turned on.

  First, in step S100, the control circuit 2 receives the print data (print data for creating the winding label 100) transmitted from the operation terminal 300 in step S36 of FIG. The CPU of the control circuit 2 that executes step S100 functions as a print data acquisition unit described in each claim.

  Thereafter, in step S110, the control circuit 2 outputs a control signal to the transport roller 6 to start feeding the print-receiving tape 10 from the tape roll 10A, that is, starting the transport of the print-receiving tape 10.

  Thereafter, in step S120, the control circuit 2 determines whether or not the print-receiving tape 10 has been conveyed by a predetermined amount. The predetermined amount is, for example, a transport distance that allows the leading end of a printing area (not shown) of the print-receiving tape 10 to reach a position substantially facing the print head 7. Until the predetermined amount is conveyed, the determination in step S120 is not satisfied (S120: NO), and a loop is waited. When the print-receiving tape 10 is conveyed by a predetermined amount, the determination in step S120 is satisfied (S120: YES), and the process proceeds to step S130.

  In step S130, the control circuit 2 outputs a control signal to the print head 7, and prints the print area of the tape to be printed 10 conveyed by the conveyance roller 6 (specifically, the first print surface 16a and the label on the label material 14). The print formation based on the print data for creating the wound label 100 received in step S100 is started on the portion corresponding to the second print surface 17a.

  Thereafter, in step S140, the control circuit 2 determines whether or not printing of the print data on the print area of the print-receiving tape 10 by the print head 7 started in step S130 has been completed. Until all the printing is completed, the determination in step S140 is not satisfied (S140: NO), and a loop is waited. When all the printing is completed, the determination in step S140 is satisfied (S140: YES), and the process proceeds to step S150.

  In step S150, the control circuit 2 determines whether or not the print-receiving tape 10 has been further conveyed by a predetermined amount (for example, a conveyance distance until the upstream end of the winding label 100 in the conveyance direction faces the cutter 9). The determination in step S150 is not satisfied until the predetermined amount is conveyed (S150: NO), the loop waits. If the predetermined amount is conveyed, the determination in step S150 is satisfied (S150: YES), and the process proceeds to step S160.

  In step S160, the control circuit 2 outputs a control signal to the conveyance roller 6, and stops the feeding of the print-receiving tape 10 from the tape roll 10A started in step S110, that is, the conveyance of the print-receiving tape 10. The CPU of the control circuit 2 that executes steps S110 to S160 functions as a print control unit described in each claim.

  In step S170, the control circuit 2 outputs a display signal to the display unit 4 and operates the cut lever 8 to display that the print-receiving tape 10 'after the print formation can be cut. Let it be done. Thereafter, the processing shown in this flow is terminated. When the user operates the cut lever 8 according to the above display, the cutter 9 is actuated to cut the printed tape 10 'after printing. By this cutting, the print-receiving tape 10 'having an appropriate length is cut off, and a desired number of wound labels 100 can be peeled off from the release material 11 at the cut-off portion (however, the cutter 9 is not cut). Even in the state, the winding label 100 can be peeled off).

<Processing procedure executed by mobile terminal>
Next, a control procedure executed by the CPU 303 of the portable terminal 300B corresponding to the flow of FIGS. 13 to 16 will be described with reference to the flow of FIG. In FIG. 17, this flow is started, for example, when the mobile terminal 300B is powered on.

  First, in step S40, the CPU 303 of the mobile terminal 300B, as in step S20 of FIG. 13 described above, the database DB corresponding to the winding label 100 to be searched by an appropriate operation via the operation unit 302 of the mobile terminal 300B. Accept selection of files inside. In the above example, the “Name” file in the database DB is selected.

  Thereafter, in step S45, the CPU 303 of the mobile terminal 300B accepts selection of the template TP corresponding to the winding label 100 to be searched by an appropriate operation via the operation unit 302 of the mobile terminal 300B. In the above-described example, the template TP shown in FIG. 8A or FIG. 8B used when the winding labels 100A to 100D are created is selected. After the reception, the selected template TP is acquired from the operation terminal 300A. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S50.

  In step S50, the CPU 303 of the portable terminal 300B acquires the file of the database DB selected in step S40 (in the above example, “Name” file) as in step S31 of FIG. For each record, a hash key is generated from data (character string) included in the record. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S55.

  In step S55, the CPU 303 of the portable terminal 300B converts the hash key generated for each record in step S50 into a hash value for each record using the predetermined hash function, as in step S32 of FIG. Convert.

  Thereafter, in step S60, the CPU 303 of the mobile terminal 300B generates an image of the corresponding pattern M for each record from the hash value converted in step S55, as in step S33 of FIG. In this example, as already described, an image of the pattern M is generated with a pattern formed by a combination of a filled portion (the above “■”) and a blank portion (the above-mentioned □).

  Then, the process proceeds to step S65, and the CPU 303 of the portable terminal 300B, for all records of the file selected in step S40 and acquired in step S50, data in each field (corresponding to the template TP selected in step S45) ( The label list LL in which the character string) and the corresponding pattern M image (generated in step S60) are associated as a correlation is generated. And a control signal is output to the said display part 301 of the portable terminal 300B, and the said list display screen 301C (refer said FIG. 12) containing the produced | generated said label list LL is displayed. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S70. This step S65 corresponds to a list display procedure described in each claim.

  In step S70, the CPU 303 of the mobile terminal 300B executes a search for the winding label 100 to be searched by an appropriate operation via the operation unit 302 of the mobile terminal 300B in the label list LL displayed in step S65. , Display the search results. In the example described above with reference to FIG. 12, all data in the “Name” file is searched by “Jamie” input to the search box KB, and the result is “Group:“ A02 ”, ID:“ 580339200 ”. ”, First Name:“ Jamie ”, and Last Name:“ Kilner ”are displayed together with the image display of the corresponding pattern M in reverse video. When step S70 is completed, this flow ends.

<Effect of embodiment>
As described above, in the present embodiment, in the created wound label 100, the pattern M unique to each label is formed on the upper edge portions of the first and second label portions 16 and 17. As a result, the user can correlate each label with the corresponding pattern M even if the plurality of winding labels 100 are arranged so as to be folded so that the printed contents of the printing surfaces 16a and 17a are difficult to see. (In the above example, based on the correspondence between each label 100 and the appearance image of the pattern M in the label list LL), the target winding label 100 is searched for the pattern M in the dense state. Can be easily found. As a result, convenience can be improved.

  In the present embodiment, in particular, after the winding label 100 with the pattern M is created, when the created winding label 100 is searched for the pattern M as described above, it is displayed on the display unit 301 of the mobile terminal 300B. The target winding label 100 can be easily found using the pattern M clearly shown as an image in the label list LL in the displayed list display screen 301C.

  Further, in this embodiment, in particular, in the roughness selection screen 301B in FIG. 11 described above, the roughness of the pattern M (for example, whether the pattern is relatively sparse or dense) is determined by the user. Since it can be set as a desired aspect, the convenience can be further improved.

  In this embodiment, in particular, in which part the pattern M is formed (for example, whether it is formed on the upper edge, the lower edge, or the winding part 15 of the first printing surface 16a). Can be set as desired by the user (see step S16 in FIG. 14). Thereby, the convenience can be further improved.

  In the present embodiment, in particular, the pattern M is formed so as to be line-symmetric with respect to the boundary line between the first printing surface 16a and the second printing surface 17a (see FIG. 3A). Accordingly, the pattern M formed on the first printing surface 16a and the second printing surface in a state where the second label portion 17 is folded and attached to the first label portion 16 side as described above during use. The pattern M formed on 17a can be visually equivalent.

  In the present embodiment, in particular, when the pattern M is generated, the print contents on each winding label 100 are associated with the pattern M using a function having a predetermined calculation formula (the hash function in the above example). Made. Thus, by automatically specifying the pattern M by calculation, the pattern M can be specified smoothly and reliably and the print data (including the image of the pattern M corresponding to this) can be generated.

  The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit and technical idea of the present invention. Hereinafter, such modifications will be described in order. Parts equivalent to those in the above embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof is omitted or simplified as appropriate.

(1) Variation of pattern formation location and aspect As described above, the formation location of the pattern M is not limited to the first label portion 16 and the second label portion 17. For example, the distance between the first and second printing surfaces 16a and 17a of the first and second label portions 16 and 17 from the cable 20 is not so large, and the outer edge portions (upper surface) of the first and second printing surfaces 16a and 17a are not increased. If the effect of forming the pattern M on the edge or the lower edge is difficult to achieve, the pattern using the winding portion 15 (even if the length of the winding portion 15 is relatively short) is used. M may be formed. Thereby, the above-mentioned ease of finding by the user can be ensured.

  Further, the pattern M is not limited to the pattern formed by the combination of the filled portion and the blank portion as described above, but may be another mode. For example, it may be formed in a so-called bar code shape composed of a combination pattern of a plurality of thick straight lines and thin straight lines extending in the extending direction of the winding portion 15 (or a direction perpendicular thereto). In this case, the same effect as described above can be obtained.

(2) Application to a T-shaped label In the above, as described above with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4, the wound label 100 is attached to an adherend 20 (cable) whose axis is in the vertical direction during use. The case where the first label portion 16 and the second label portion 17 are P-type labels (see FIG. 3 and the like) in which the first label portion 16 and the second label portion 17 protrude in the left-right direction and the character string direction also becomes the left-right direction has been described as an example. Not limited to. That is, when attached to the adherend 40 whose axial direction is the left-right direction, the first label portion 16 and the second label portion 17 protrude in the vertical direction, and the so-called T-type label in which the character string direction is the left-right direction. The present invention may be applied to this. Such a modification will be described with reference to FIGS.

<Appearance of wound label>
As shown in FIG. 18A, the winding label 200 of the present modification is illustrated from an elongated rectangular winding portion 25 extending in the illustrated vertical direction and one end portion in the vertical direction of the winding portion 25 (the upper end portion in this example). A first label portion 26 having a first printing surface 26a that is connected in the vertical direction and printed with the print R1, and is connected from the first label portion 26 to one side in the vertical direction in the drawing (upper side in this example), And a second label portion 27 having a second print surface 27a on which the print R2 is printed. The first label portion 26 and the second label portion 27 have the same rectangular shape that is horizontally long in the left-right direction.

  In the print R1, the character string “ABCDE” (corresponding to the print object) is moved to the lower end on the winding portion 25 side at the substantially central portion of the first print surface 26a in the left-right direction with the upright posture. Printed on.

  In the print R2, the character string “XYZ” (corresponding to the print object) is turned upside down by rotating 180 ° toward the upper end opposite to the winding part 25 at the substantially central part in the left-right direction of the second print surface 17a. It is printed in the horizontal direction with the posture.

  When the wound label 200 having the above-described configuration is used, first, as shown in FIG. 18B, the second label portion 27 is stacked so that the printing surface 27a is exposed on the back side of the first label portion 26. A folded shape (a mountain fold line K ′ is indicated by a one-dot chain line in FIG. 18A) is folded back to the first label portion 26 side, and the folded second label portion 27 is directed to the first label portion 26 Pasted on the back side of the adhesive layer).

  As shown in FIG. 18 (see also FIG. 19 described later), the outer edge portions of the first label portion 26 and the second label portion 27 (the upper edge portion in this example as shown in FIG. 19 described later) Like the above-described embodiment, a unique pattern M is formed on each winding label 200. As shown in FIG. 18A, in this example, the pattern M formed on the first label portion 26 and the pattern M formed on the second label portion 27 are the above-described mountain fold line K ′ ( In other words, the boundary line between the printing surface 26a and the printing surface 27a) is formed so as to be symmetrical with each other.

<Usage form of winding label>
Thereafter, the wound label 200 folded back as shown in FIG. 18 (b) is formed into an annular or cable-shaped adherend 40 (this is shown in FIG. 19 (a)) whose axial direction is the horizontal direction in the figure. In the example, a cable (hereinafter simply referred to as “cable 40” as appropriate) is wound around the winding portion 25 so that the substantially central portion in the vertical direction is positioned. Next, the overlapping portions of the winding portion 25 that are folded back are adhered to each other by the adhesive layer on the back surface of the winding portion 25, and the wound portion around the cable 40 of the winding portion 25 is adhered to the periphery of the cable 40.

  As described above, the winding label 200 is attached to the cable 40, and the overlapping first label portion 26 and second label portion 27 protrude from the winding portion 25 in the vertical direction in the figure (so-called T-type label). FIG. 19A shows the appearance of the wound label 200 attached to the cable 40 as viewed from the front side (first label portion 26 side). As shown in the drawing, in the first label portion 26, the character string “ABCDE” is written on the first printing surface 26a in an upright posture in a position manner close to the end portion on the winding portion 25 side.

  FIG. 19B shows an external appearance of the wound label 200 attached to the cable 40 as viewed from the back side (second label portion 27 side). As shown in the drawing, in the second label portion 27, the character string “XYZ” is written on the second printing surface 27a in an upright posture in a position manner close to the end portion on the winding portion 25 side.

  In the present modification, the same pattern M is formed on the winding label 200 which is a T-type label as described above by the same method as the winding label 100. Thereby, the effect similar to the above can be acquired.

(3) Others In the above, each process shown in the flow of FIGS. 13 to 15 and FIG. 17 is executed in the operation terminal 300A and the portable terminal 300B connected to the label producing apparatus 1 so as to be able to transmit and receive information. However, the present invention may be applied to a so-called stand-alone type label producing apparatus 1 that can operate by itself. In this case, the CPU of the control circuit 2 of the label producing apparatus 1 accepts various operations via the operation unit 3 or performs various displays on the display unit 4 instead of the operation terminal 300A and the mobile terminal 300B. Processes equivalent to the processes shown in the flow of FIGS. 13 to 15 and 17 are executed. In this case, the same effect as described above can be obtained.

  In addition, in the above description, when there are descriptions such as “vertical”, “parallel”, and “plane”, the descriptions are not strict. That is, the terms “vertical”, “parallel”, and “plane” are acceptable in design and manufacturing tolerances and errors, and mean “substantially vertical”, “substantially parallel”, and “substantially plane”. .

  In addition, in the above description, when there are descriptions such as “same”, “equal”, “different”, etc., in terms of external dimensions and sizes, the descriptions are not strict. That is, the terms “identical”, “equal”, and “different” mean that “tolerance and error in manufacturing are allowed in design and that they are“ substantially identical ”,“ substantially equal ”, and“ substantially different ”. .

  However, if there is a description of a value that becomes a predetermined judgment criterion or a value that becomes a delimiter, such as a threshold value or a reference value, for example, “same”, “equal”, “different”, etc. It is different and has a strict meaning.

  In addition, in the above, the arrow shown in FIG. 1 shows an example of the signal flow, and does not limit the signal flow direction.

  Further, the flowcharts shown in FIGS. 13, 14, 15, 16, and 17 are not intended to limit the present invention to the procedures shown in the above-mentioned flow, and the procedures are not deviated from the spirit and technical idea of the invention. You may add / delete or change the order.

  In addition to those already described above, the methods according to the above-described embodiments and modifications may be used in appropriate combination.

  In addition, although not illustrated one by one, the present invention is implemented with various modifications within a range not departing from the gist thereof.
