Hereinafter, a custom container label manufacturing system according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figure 1.

The user terminal (1) can access the order reception server (S) using a wired or wireless communication network, and the user (U) orders various information through the user terminal (1) in order to order a customized product suitable for the user. It can be entered into the reception server (S).

The user terminal 1 may be equipped with a memory for storing programs and protocols for transmitting and receiving information, a processor for executing various programs to calculate and control, and may be implemented in various forms depending on the embodiment. For example, the user terminal 1 may be a smart phone, a tablet PC, a laptop, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a portable multimedia player (PMP), or a wearable device (e.g., It may be a mobile terminal using wireless communication technology such as a smartwatch, smart glass, or head mounted display (HMD), or a digital device that is difficult to carry such as a PC, IPTV, or smart TV. . Additionally, depending on the embodiment, it is also possible to implement it as a dedicated device for ordering customized products, such as a kiosk.

The user terminal 1 and the order reception server S may be connected to each other through a communication network. Communication networks may include wired networks and wireless networks, and specifically, various networks such as local area networks (LANs), metropolitan area networks (MANs), and wide area networks (WANs). It can be included. Additionally, the communication network may include the known World Wide Web (WWW). However, the communication network according to the present invention is not limited to the networks listed above, and may include at least one of a known wireless data network, a known telephone network, and a known wired/wireless television network.

The user terminal 1 can provide services to the user U based on information provided from the order reception server S. For example, the user (U) can use the user terminal (1) to run a web page or application provided by the order reception server (100), and through this, purchase services for customized products can be provided.

The order reception server (S) can provide the user terminal (1) with an interface such as a web page or application for purchasing customized products. Here, the order reception server (S) may be a server operated by the product seller, and the customized products sold by the product seller include cosmetics such as skin, lotion, essence, cushion, foundation, mask, lipstick, tint, balm, and liquid lip. It may be hygiene products such as shampoo, conditioner, body shampoo, cleansing oil, cleansing foam, and cleansing tissue.

In order to provide customized products for the user, the order reception server (S) may request characteristic information indicating the user's (U) tastes, preferences, health condition, skin condition, etc. from the user terminal (1). For example, the order reception server (S) can request an online survey from the user terminal (1), and each survey item includes questions to check the user's (U) tastes, preferences, health condition, skin condition, etc. may be included. Here, the online survey may further include measuring skin type, photographing and uploading the user's product use area, etc. Therefore, the order reception server (S) can receive characteristic information about the user (U) through an online survey.

Thereafter, when the user terminal 1 requests the purchase of a customized product specified based on an online survey, the order reception server S may generate order information, etc. Here, the order information may include personal identification information and characteristic information corresponding to the user (U), and may further include invoice information for receiving customized products.

Personal identification information is intended to identify each user (U), and includes letters, numbers, symbols, emoticons, images, colors, etc. that the user (U) enters into the order reception server (S) using the user terminal (1). You can. For example, a user can create an ID or nickname representing himself by combining letters, numbers, symbols, emoticons, images, colors, etc., and the order reception server (S) records this for each user (U). ) can be stored as personal identification information. Additionally, depending on the embodiment, it is also possible to set a signature image that the user (U) inputs using a touch input in the user terminal (1) as personal identification information. For example, if the user terminal (1) is equipped with a touch panel, the user (1) can authorize a touch input within the touch panel, and through this, the user (U) can enter his or her signature, handwriting, drawing, etc. You can create a signature image and enter it as your personal identification information.

Furthermore, in cases where the user (U) does not enter his/her personal identification information, the order reception server (S) can generate personal identification information by combining random letters, numbers, symbols, etc. Depending on the embodiment, it is possible for the order reception server (S) to automatically generate personal identification information based on personal information such as the name or phone number of the user (U).

The management server 100 may be a server operated by the product manufacturer, and can receive order information about the customized product requested by the user (U) from the order reception server (S). That is, in order to manufacture a customized product according to the request of the product seller, the product manufacturer can receive order information from the order reception server (S) using the management server (100). Thereafter, in order to manufacture a customized product, the management server 100 may first produce a customized container label (L) attached to the container (C) of the customized product.

The management server 100 may generate corresponding recipe information from each order information, where the recipe information may be information about the type or capacity of raw materials included in each customized product. In other words, since customized products are selected differently depending on the characteristic information of each user (U), they must be individually manufactured according to the received order information. To this end, the management server 100 can generate recipe information for manufacturing customized products from the received order information. For example, it is possible to distinguish between customized products by setting the type and capacity of raw materials to be filled in one container as recipe information.

Here, recipe information for manufacturing customized products corresponding to the characteristic information of each user (U) may be set in advance, and the management server 100 checks each characteristic information and then creates a customized product corresponding to the characteristic information. Recipe information can be created. For example, if an online survey includes three questions in a multiple-choice format, there are a total of 125 possible responses from the user (U). Here, if the recipe information corresponding to each case is matched in advance, the management server 100 can generate each recipe information from the characteristic information included in the order information.

Additionally, the management server 100 can generate a unique identification code from recipe information. Here, the unique identification code contains recipe information for the customized product and can be implemented as a two-dimensional barcode such as a QR code, micro QR code, or data matrix, or a general one-dimensional barcode. The unique identification code can be printed on a customized container label (L) and attached to each container (C), and the filling device (not shown) uses the unique identification code to determine the type of raw material filled into each container (C). and capacity can be recognized.

Specifically, a customized container label (L) with a unique identification code printed on it can be attached to each container (C), and the containers (C) can be sequentially transferred to the filling device through a container belt or the like. At this time, a code reader (not shown) may be provided in front of the filling device, and the unique identification code of each container (C) can be scanned using the code reader. Here, since the unique identification code contains recipe information corresponding to each container (C), the code reader scans the unique identification code to obtain recipe information about the type and volume of raw materials to be filled in each container (C). It can be extracted.

Afterwards, the code reader can sequentially input each extracted recipe information to the filling device, and the filling device synchronizes the order of each transported container (C) and the order of the input recipe information, and then fills each container ( C) can be filled with raw materials.

Depending on the embodiment, there may be multiple types of raw materials filled in each container C, and for this purpose, a plurality of fillers storing each raw material may be included in the filling device. At this time, the filling device may further include a code reader in front of all or part of the filler so that the filler can check the recipe information for the container (C) before starting to fill the container (C). Through this, it is possible to prevent incorrect injection of the type or volume of raw materials in the container (C).

When the filling device completes the filling of the raw materials in the containers (C), the containers (C) can be transferred and go through processes such as capping, mixing, and packaging, and ultimately a customized product can be completed.

Additionally, depending on the embodiment, the unique identification code may further include customer information for the user (U) or container information for each container (C) in addition to recipe information. Here, customer information may be entered by the user (U) into the order reception server (S), and may include the user's name, contact information, address, and user ID (ID: Identifier) registered by the user in the order reception server (S). may be included. However, it is not limited to this, and depending on the embodiment, various information about the user, such as the user's gender or age, may be further included. Additionally, the container information is set in the container (C) of the customized product and may be a unique code given to individually distinguish each container (C). That is, the container information may be a production order number, a lot number, etc., and it is possible to specify and distinguish each container (c) using the container information.

The management server 100 can extract customer information of the user (U) from the received order information and create history information for users by mapping recipe information to each customer information. At this time, each user can be identified using customer information, and by mapping customer information and recipe information, which customized products each user orders can be stored as history information. Depending on the embodiment, it is also possible to generate history information for each container C by mapping recipe information to container information. In other words, a customized product can be manufactured by specifying the container (C) using the container information and filling the container (C) with recipe information corresponding to the specific user. Through this, the filling device can record the history of manufacturing the customized product. You can save them as history information. Additionally, it is also possible to generate history information by mapping all customer information, container information, and recipe information.

Thereafter, the management server 100 can receive filling information on the type and capacity of the raw materials actually filled in each container C from the filling device, and update and store this in the history information. Depending on the embodiment, each time filling is completed in one or a set number of fillers included in the filling device, the unique identification code of the container (C) is scanned and history information corresponding to the container (C) is stored. It is also possible to find and update filling information.

In this case, the manager can check the history information for each user using the management server 100, and through this, check for missing filling or discharge amount errors for some raw materials in each container (C). It is possible to manage.

Meanwhile, in this embodiment, the server operated by the product seller (i.e., order reception server) and the server operated by the product manufacturer (i.e., management server) are configured independently, but this is not necessarily limited. For example, when a product seller and a product manufacturer exist separately, and customized products are delivered to the product seller or product manufacturer through OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturing), ODM (Original Development Manufacturing), or OBM (Original Brand Manufacturing) methods. It is possible for the product seller to operate the order reception server (S) and the product manufacturer to operate the management server (100). On the other hand, if the product seller and the product manufacturer are the same, it is obvious to those skilled in the art that the order reception server (S) and the management server (100) can be integrated and configured as a single server, platform, or system.

The print management device 200 can receive a unique identification code from the management server 100 and create a label layout including the unique identification code. Depending on the embodiment, when a preset number of order information is received by the management server 100, the print management device 200 receives unique identification codes according to each order information from the management server 100 and creates a customized container. It is also possible to start the production of the label (L). Here, the management server 100 generates the unique identification code, but depending on the embodiment, the print management device 200 may also generate the unique identification code from recipe information.

Meanwhile, the print management device 200 may create a label layout for each customized container label (L) in order to print the customized container label (L). That is, as shown in Figure 2, a label layout (A) can be created, and the label layout (A) includes a unique identification code area (B1), a recipe code area (B2), an ingredient display area (B3), and A personal identification information area (B4) may be included. However, the content of the present invention is not limited to Figure 2, and depending on the embodiment, some of the respective areas included in the label layout (A) may be omitted or added, and the positions and sizes of each may vary. It can be changed.

A unique identification code containing recipe information for the customized product may be located in the unique identification code area (B1). Here, the unique identification code can be implemented as a two-dimensional barcode such as a QR code, micro QR code, or data matrix, or a general one-dimensional barcode.

In other words, when manufacturing a customized product, the unique identification code can be recognized first, and the filling device sets the type and capacity of the raw materials to be filled according to the recipe information recognized from the unique identification code, and fills the raw materials in the container (C). Can be filled automatically.

Therefore, the customized container label (L) may include a unique identification code, and the print management device 200 may be provided with a unique identification code area (B1) in the label layout (A) to specify the location of the unique identification code. there is. Depending on the embodiment, the unique identification code may further include invoice information or customer information in addition to recipe information.

Here, as shown in Figure 3, when the unique identification code (Q) is scanned using a code reader, the code reader can extract scan data (D) expressed as a series of numbers. That is, recipe information indicating the type and capacity of raw materials to be filled in the container (C), user customer information, or container information may be included in the unique identification code (Q) according to certain rules. Therefore, the filling device can extract recipe information, customer information, container information, etc. from the scan data (D), and use this to distinguish each container (C) and perform a filling operation for the containers (C). You can.

In the recipe code area (B2), a recipe code that displays recipe information for the customized product using a series of numbers or colors may be located. Conversion rules for converting recipe information into numbers, colors, etc. may be predetermined, and recipe codes can be generated accordingly and displayed in the recipe display area (B2). Users can use the recipe code to specify their customized product or distinguish it from other customized products. Here, base code (Base) "3", fragrance material code (Fragrance) "2", fragrance intensity code (Fragrance Level) "2", scalp care code (Scalp Care) "01", hair care code (Hair Care) Since it is "11", the recipe code combining them corresponds to "3220111". However, since the customized product includes anti-hair loss functionality, it can be confirmed that “S” indicating non-functionality is not included.

In the ingredient display area (B3), all ingredients included in the customized product can be displayed. Here, all ingredients of the customized product may be predetermined according to each recipe information, and all ingredients may be preset to be displayed in accordance with the law.

Personal identification information set by the user (U) may be located in the personal identification information area (B4). Personal identification information is created directly by users (U) in order to distinguish each user (U). Users (U) can easily purchase their own customized products using the personal identification information printed on the customized container label (L). can be distinguished.

For example, there may be cases where family members living together use separate customized shampoos purchased from the same product vendor, and in this case, it may be difficult for family members to determine which personalized shampoo is theirs. At this time, by using the personal identification information displayed on each customized shampoo, it is possible to easily distinguish one's customized shampoo. Additionally, since the user (U) can directly create his/her personal identification information such as a nickname, he/she can distinguish his or her customized shampoo while maintaining anonymity. Furthermore, through personal identification information, the user (U) can recognize each customized shampoo as a limited edition made just for him/her, thus increasing attachment or loyalty to the product.

When the print management device 200 receives the unique identification code, it can create a label layout by reflecting it, and then transmit the label layout to the label printer 300 to request printing of a customized container label (L). .

When the label printer 300 receives a label layout from the print management device 200, it can print a customized container label (L) according to the label layout. When label paper is supplied, the label printer 300 can generate a customized container label (L) by printing on the label paper according to the label layout. Here, the label printer 300 may print using an inkjet method or a laser jet method, and any method can be used as long as it prints labels. The customized container label (L) manufactured in the label printer 300 can then be attached to the container (C) of the customized product, and filling is performed according to the unique identification code contained in the customized container label (L) to produce the customized product. This can be manufactured.

In Figure 1, the print management device 200 and the label printer 300 are distinguished as separate devices, but depending on the embodiment, the print management device 200 and the label printer 300 are integrated into one device. It is also possible.

Meanwhile, depending on the embodiment, the management server 100 may store the order information received from the order reception server (S) and allow the print management device 200 to generate a unique identification code from the order information. In this case, the print management device 200 may include a receiving unit 210, a preprocessing unit 220, and a layout generating unit 230, as shown in FIG. 4.

The receiving unit 210 may receive order information about the customized product requested by the user (U) from the management server 100. That is, the receiving unit 210 can receive order information stored in the management server 100, and depending on the embodiment, it can receive a preset number of order information from the management server 100 according to the production plan.

The preprocessor 220 may generate recipe information corresponding to order information and generate a unique identification code from the recipe information. Corresponding recipe information can be generated from the user's (U) characteristic information included in the order information, and a unique identification code can be generated by coding to include the recipe information in the QR code or barcode. Here, the unique identification code can be implemented as a two-dimensional barcode such as a QR code, micro QR code, or data matrix, or a general one-dimensional barcode. However, since the creation of the unique identification code was previously described, detailed explanation will be omitted here.

The layout generator 230 can generate a label layout including a unique identification code, and then transmits the generated label layout to the label printer 300 so that the label printer 300 prints a customized container label (L). can do.

Through this, the filling device can store the history of manufacturing the customized product as history information. there is. Additionally, it is also possible to generate history information by mapping all customer information, container information, and recipe information.

Thereafter, the management server can receive filling information on the type and capacity of the raw materials actually filled in each container from the filling device, and update and store this in the history information. In this case, the administrator can use the management server to check history information for each user, and through this, it is possible to check and manage missing filling or discharge amount errors for some raw materials in each container.

The print management device can receive a unique identification code from the management server, and the print management device can create a label layout including the unique identification code (S120). That is, the print management device can create a label layout for each customized container label in order to print the customized container label. For example, the label layout may include a unique identification code area, a recipe code area, an ingredient display area, and a personal identification information area. After the label layout is created, the print management device can send it to the label printer and request printing of the customized container label.

The label printer can receive the label layout from the print management device and print customized container labels according to the label layout (S130). When label paper is supplied, the label printer can create customized container labels by printing according to the label layout on the label paper. The label printer may print using an inkjet method or a laser jet method. Afterwards, the customized container label manufactured by the label printer can be attached to the container of the customized product, and filling is performed according to the unique identification code contained in the customized container label to manufacture the customized product.

Additionally, depending on the embodiment, the management server may store order information received from the order reception server and allow the print management device to generate a unique identification code from the order information. In this case, referring to Figure 7, the print management device can receive order information for the customized product requested by the user from the management server (S210). That is, the print management device can receive order information stored in the management server, and depending on the embodiment, it can receive a preset number of order information from the management server according to the production plan.

The print management device can generate recipe information corresponding to order information and generate a unique identification code from the recipe information (S220). In other words, the corresponding recipe information is generated from the user's characteristic information included in the order information, and unique recipe information is created in the form of a two-dimensional barcode such as a QR code, micro QR code, or data matrix, or a general one-dimensional barcode to include the recipe information. An identification code can be generated. However, since the creation of the unique identification code was previously described, detailed explanation will be omitted here.

The print management device can create a label layout including a unique identification code (S230), and can transmit the created label layout to the label printer so that the label printer prints a customized container label.
