Description

Identification code structure, manufacturing method and product monitoring method

Technical field

The invention relates to an identification code structure, an identification code structure manufacturing method and a product monitoring method.

Background technique

Over the years, the identification code has gone through the development of one-dimensional code to two-dimensional code, and its use in the commodity and logistics industries has become more and more extensive and extensive.

One-dimensional code, usually a multi-line barcode, can store a large amount of data and is widely used in hospitals, driver's licenses, material management, and cargo transportation. The disadvantage of one-dimensional barcodes is that barcodes only express information in one direction (such as horizontal direction), but do not express any information in the vertical direction. The height is usually for the convenience of reader alignment; the data capacity is small, usually It is only about 30 characters long and can only contain letters and numbers; the barcode size is relatively large, resulting in low space utilization; the barcode cannot be read after it is damaged.

2-dimensional bar code is a black and white graphic that records data symbol information in a plane (horizontal and vertical direction) with a certain geometric pattern. It is skillfully used in code compilation. The concept of the "0" and "1" bitstreams of the internal logic of the computer uses several geometric shapes corresponding to the binary to represent the literal numerical information, and is automatically read by the image input device or the photoelectric scanning device to realize the automatic information. deal with.

In the field of commodity management, warehousing, and transportation logistics, most of the cases use one-dimensional codes to link the attributes of goods with goods through one-dimensional codes. Control of goods, such as preset promotional redemption activities, is when the goods are produced, that is, the reward information has been marked on the goods. In this way, once shipped, you cannot control or modify the rules and results of any promotion, such as increasing or decreasing the number of awards.

At the same time, traditional logistics methods are very limited in the monitoring of goods, although currently in business There are more and more two-dimensional codes for the outer packaging, but usually the two-dimensional code is directly exposed, and the information on the two-dimensional code can be read arbitrarily, and the product cannot be recognized by the final consumer. The requirements of the code, it is impossible to achieve the company's requirements for the sale of products.

In addition, merchants now want to monitor the real-time logistics location of a batch of goods in real time, send it to the city, and also want to know whether the product has achieved final sales (sales to the most end users), and even hope to be able to make decisions at any time and actively. A certain period of time (such as holidays), a certain area (such as the Yangtze River Delta region), a certain strength (such as the number of awards and awards) promotion, and a quick response to the winning (such as immediately redemption, fast award) . These requirements are not met in the prior art.

Summary of the invention

The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide an identification code structure and a manufacturing method thereof, and a product monitoring method, which can enable a merchant to effectively identify whether a product has achieved final sales, and can also satisfy a transaction information of a real-time monitoring product of a merchant or Orientation, especially to meet the merchant's award-winning sales requirements anytime, anywhere.

The adhesive label is more firmly adhered than the common scratch coating (such as the invoice scratch coating), which can effectively prevent the coating from being damaged by abrasion during the transportation or sale, and the coverage area is exposed.

Another advantageous effect of the present invention is that the first identification code and the second identification code are associated by at least one attribute, and the association manner may be, for example, binding. After the association, the second identification code is identified and read. It is possible to know what the corresponding first identification code is, and thus to set the attribute information (for example, set as the winning code) for the first identification code by recognizing the second identification code. The merchant can monitor the destination of the commodity at any time through the second identification code, and when the commodity that is distributed to a certain place is determined to be sold in a certain period of time, the relevant identification information of the first identification code corresponding to the second identification code in the database is always available. The adjustment is made such that the final consumer knows the winning information issued by the merchant by reading the first identification code after purchasing the commodity. The merchant may also associate with the attribute of the second identification code by the first identification code to adjust other information that is desired after the final consumer purchases the product.

detailed description:

In order to make the inventive features, technical means and accomplishment of the present invention easier to understand, the present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the specific embodiments.

Referring to FIG. 1, a part of an area in which a sticker is covered by a first identification code is formed in the present invention. The identification code structure diagram of the cover area, the first identification code is provided with an exposed area in addition to the coverage area. The present invention is described by taking the first identification code as QR code 1 and the second identification code as DM code 2 as an example, but the first identification code is not limited to the QR code, and the second identification code is not limited to the DM code.

The QR code, the Quick Response Code, has a substantially square or rectangular shape with three position detection zones 101 for positioning at the time of identification, three distributed over the four corners of the QR code. The pasting label 4 covers at least one of the position detecting areas 101 of the QR code 1, so that the QR code 1 cannot be recognized, forming a coverage area. The adhesive label 4 is cut into a plurality of irregularly shaped small pieces 3, and the cutting method can be cut with a flower knife. The ordinary label can be pasted into the cover area by the adhesive layer to form a sticker, or can be directly pasted in the cover area by using the adhesive label, and then cut on the surface of the label, and the sticker is cut into irregularly shaped pieces 3, so that the label is pasted. 4 can not be torn off the whole piece. When one or a few irregularly shaped small pieces 3 in the sticker 4 are torn off, the corresponding QR code portion covered is exposed, and the torn small piece 3 is difficult to re-paste to the original one more accurately. The location is such that the final purchaser can easily determine whether the coverage area of QR code 1 has been exposed and whether QR code 1 has been identified. In view of the fact that the QR code is mainly based on the three position detecting areas 101 at the time of identification, when the pasting label is cut, the depth of the pasting label in the area of the position detecting area 101 is shallow (or small) to avoid damaging the position detecting area 101. Cause QR code 1 to be unrecognized.

The identification code structure of this embodiment includes at least two identification codes, the QR code 1 is a first identification code, and the DM code 2 is a second identification code. The QR code 1 and the DM code 2 are associated by at least one attribute. Before the paste label 4 is not removed, the information of the corresponding QR code 1 can also be known by identifying the DM code 2, so that the merchant can pass the DM code 2 Identification, determine the corresponding QR code 1 information, realize the information binding of QR code 1 and DM code 2, so that the market sales strategy and method can be adjusted at any time according to the time and space position of the DM code 2, at any time in the database Set the information displayed by QR code 1, such as setting QR code 1 lottery or product recall, product introduction, business introduction, product logistics information, product authenticity information, feedback, etc., or set as needed. After the purchaser purchases the merchandise, the QR code 1 is identified by removing the patch 3 in the sticker 4, that is, the information of the merchant set in the QR code 1 is known.

The DM code is set outside the coverage area of the QR code, that is, it cannot be covered by the coverage area, so that the merchant can recognize the DM code during the process of leaving the factory, transportation, storage, and the like. Therefore, the DM code can be completely separated from the QR code without any overlapping relationship, and the DM code can be completely set in the exposed area 5 of the QR code, or the DM code part overlaps with the exposed area 5 of the QR code, but the position of the DM code The three position detection areas 101 of the QR code are to be avoided. The DM code referred to in the present invention is located in the exposed area 5 of the QR code, and refers to the case where the DM code is completely disposed in the exposed area 5 of the QR code in the case where the DM code avoids the position detection area 101 of the QR code. The portion including the DM code portion overlapping the exposed area 5 of the QR code and the DM code portion covering the DM code is as shown in this embodiment. The exposed area referred to in the present invention refers to an area other than the coverage area of the first identification code, and may be an area other than the coverage area on the first identification code, or may be an area other than the first identification code.

The first identification code and the second identification code in the embodiment may be at least one of a one-dimensional code, a QR code, a PDF417 code, a DM code, an MC code, and a Han code. For example, the QR code may be used. It is a combination of a QR code and a DM code.

The embodiment of the invention further provides a method for fabricating an identification code structure, comprising the following steps: (1) setting the QR code on any carrier such as paper, plastic or metal; (2) setting a sticker on the QR code, The pasting label covers at least one position detecting area of the QR code such that the QR code cannot be recognized because the pasting label is covered; (3) the pasting label is cut into irregular small pieces.

Further, since the position detection area 101 of the QR code is broken, the QR code is difficult to be recognized, and therefore, the portion of the cutting depth in the position detecting area 101 is small when the pasting label is cut, and the QR code is prevented from being cut.

The embodiment of the present invention further provides a product monitoring method, including the following steps: (1) setting a first identification code and a second identification code on a product or a product package, and saving the first identification code and the second identification code information. In the database; (2) associating the first identification code with the second identification code by at least one attribute; (3) implementing monitoring of the second identification code in the database to implement the first identification code Information monitoring and information settings.

The first identification code and the second identification code set on the product or product package may be a one-dimensional code, a QR code, a PDF417 code, a DM code, an MC code or a Hanxin code.

In addition to being disposed on a single product package, the second identification code may be disposed on a box package of a plurality of single-piece products, or on a plurality of batch packages in which a plurality of box-packaged products are packaged together to achieve control batch size. Product logistics. The identification code set on the box package or the batch package may be the same as the second identification code, or may be different. If different, it may also be associated by the attribute to achieve the purpose of information binding control. The identification code setting and products and methods of such exposed areas are also within the scope of the present invention.

The basic principles, main features, and advantages of the present invention are shown and described above. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited by the foregoing embodiments, and that the present invention is described in the foregoing description and the description of the present invention.
