The application of digital simulation display technology in packaging design is a brand-new way of product design expression, which is conducive to the rapid transformation from idea to product, while taking into account the green and low-carbon attributes of cigarette product design.

[0003] Traditional cigarette packaging design confirmation processes rely on proofing and review. This static display method is easily constrained by space and time limitations, resulting in low efficiency and frequent revisions and proofing. By leveraging internet platforms, interactive displays, and carbon simulation technology, the display speed of cigarette designs can be accelerated, improving the quality and pace of design reviews and effectively reducing the need for verification through printed samples.

[0004] Traditional packaging design data is stored on personal computers, which is easy to lose and not conducive to long-term preservation.

[0013] Secondly, this application provides a packaging design platform for cigarette products. The packaging design platform is constructed using the aforementioned method and includes: an identity module, a design module, a review module, and a carbon tracking module.

[0018] This application utilizes digital 3D simulation design technology to construct relevant design definitions into data models. It can design and calculate a variety of data-driven patterns, which can coexist within a single design scenario, achieving data aggregation and complementarity.

[0038] Please refer to Figure 1 This application provides a method for constructing a packaging design platform for cigarette products, the specific method of which is as follows:

[0039] Step S1: Build the tobacco platform engine based on the rendering engine.

[0040] It is understandable that the 3D simulation engine is the core system in the digital simulation of cigarette product design. It is a series of encapsulations based on the 3D low-level graphics program interface, including the encapsulation of some general graphics algorithms and low-level tools, providing services to the application layer. By using the 3D simulation engine, users can focus their time and energy on solving problems in the application domain without having to worry too much about the implementation of low-level 3D programming.

[0041] Currently, the mainstream frameworks include the following three categories:

[0042] Rendering engine: Its role is to display 3D objects and scenes. It typically abstracts concepts such as scene, camera, and lighting. It has a low learning curve and doesn't require writing your own GLSL (shading language). A typical example is Three.js.

[0043] Game engines: These are designed for game development. Building upon the rendering engine, they provide features such as skeletal animation, physics engines, AI, GUI, and a visual editor for level design, supporting the development of large-scale games. Typical examples include Babylon.js and PlayCanvas.js.

[0044] Large-scale geographic GIS engines: WebGL engines specifically designed for 3D GIS applications, such as Cesium.js.

[0045] This application takes into account the following aspects:

[0046] (1) Design expression in the roll packaging design stage: 3D simulation is used to quickly convert the planar creative design into 3D rendering effect. It has high requirements for the rendering capability of the 3D engine and can reflect the special process of roll packaging and the visual differences between various processes.

[0047] (2) Virtual prototyping of roll package design: The generated 3D rendering effect should be able to replace physical prototyping. On the one hand, it needs to be easy to browse, and on the other hand, it needs to be able to integrate a large amount of process, standard, and BOM information to form a complete roll package design scheme display. Therefore, the data integration performance of the 3D engine is required to be high.

[0048] (3) Collaborative 3D Review of Package Design. Through web applications, reviewers can conduct online collaborative reviews based on 3D simulation without being restricted by time or location. The 3D simulation should be able to be developed into a web application, allowing access to the simulation results via the network.

[0049] Therefore, we chose to design a small-scale simulation of cigarette packaging. Considering factors such as learning cost, open-source protocol, and framework maturity, we selected Three.JS as the rendering engine for the web side and customized a 3D engine suitable for green design simulation and application of cigarette products.

[0050] The basic principle of rendering in Three.js is primarily based on the `render` method of the `WebGLRenderer` class encapsulated in Three.js for 3D rendering. The rendering process in Three.js can be divided into the following steps:

[0051] (1) Based on the WebGL rendering protocol, clear the current frame buffer and update the MVP matrix (the three matrices: Model, View, and Projection).

[0052] (2) Sort the objects according to their distance from the camera from near to far; on the same model, 3D materials need to be layered to achieve a combined effect. Based on a single model component, create a mapping relationship between multiple layers of geometry and materials, and each set of geometric data and materials will be drawn separately by WebGL.

[0053] (3) Begin rendering objects one by one, in the following order: background, opaque objects, transparent objects; independent material transparency map channels, supporting the display of material effects in the corresponding area based on the input grayscale image. Based on the layer structure information of the SVG file, output the grayscale channel image of each layer, and create corresponding layer information according to the number of grayscale images. Each layer contains a 3D material and a grayscale image.

[0054] (4) Figure 2 As shown, the materials of each layer are finally superimposed and rendered uniformly to achieve the final effect.

[0055] Step S2: Establish platform user identity.

[0056] The platform users include IT system administrators, platform administrators, basic data administrators, design project administrators, design project members, and review experts.

[0057] Specifically, this platform has the following user roles:

[0058] (1) IT System Administrator: Responsible for system configuration and maintenance;

[0059] (2) Platform Administrator: Has full access to data and functional operation permissions. Can view / manage all design projects.

[0060] (3) Basic Data Administrator: Responsible for the management and maintenance of various basic databases, including updating and maintaining box model data, material data, process data, and design element library data;

[0061] (4) Design Project Administrator: Responsible for creating, deleting, and modifying design projects at the project level;

[0062] (5) Design Project Members: They can access the design projects they participate in and complete operations such as creating, uploading, and maintaining design documents. They are responsible for creating 3D simulations.

[0063] (6) Review experts; participate in virtual proofing review.

[0064] Step S3: Based on the tobacco platform engine, establish functional modules.

[0065] The functional modules include a design module, a review module, and a carbon tracking module.

[0066] The carbon tracking module is built through the following steps:

[0067] Step S31: Collect production data for each tobacco material production process to form a carbon emission inventory.

[0068] Step S32: Connect the carbon emission inventory with the design module to form a carbon tracking module.

[0069] For example, the Tobacco Industry Carbon Footprint Database (TCFD) adopts a hierarchical architecture design and deeply integrates the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology.

[0070] The basic data layer integrates full-element inventory data of 44 core unit processes, including tobacco planting, re-drying, and filter rod production, covering raw materials, energy consumption, and emission indicators. Through the study of relevant standards, it determines the carbon emission accounting boundary of cigarette products, clarifies the data list of each production process, and collects production data of each tobacco material BOM production process (including the collection of production process data from supply chain production enterprises). The data includes data on fossil fuel combustion, net purchased electricity, energy / material consumption, etc., forming a complete carbon emission inventory and establishing an enterprise LCA database to support subsequent carbon footprint accounting of cigarette products.

[0071] The intermediate model layer constructs a dynamic interconnected network based on ISO 14067 rules to enable upstream and downstream data traceability. The application interface layer supports real-time interaction with the enterprise's technology innovation platform, technical standards system, packaging simulation system, and supplier database through RESTful APIs, providing carbon footprint factor query (GET), data submission (POST), and model validation (PUT) functions to ensure seamless integration between the LCA model and enterprise operational data.

[0072] The design module includes a resource library and an editor. The editor is used to load the resource library and perform visual editing of the resource library.

[0073] The resource library includes a box type library, a material library, a process library, and a design element library.

[0074] For example, based on the various packaging and printing processes of Hubei Tobacco's cigarette products, different process effects are summarized to facilitate standardized descriptions. The main cigarette packaging printing processes include: lamination, hot stamping (gold / silver), UV printing, embossing, varnishing, and texturing. A process effect library is established based on these different effects.

[0075] Based on the various materials used in the packaging of cigarette products from Hubei Tobacco, this paper summarizes the characteristics of different materials to facilitate standardized descriptions. The main paper materials used in cigarette packaging include: white cardboard, coated paper, laser transfer paper, transparent laser transfer paper, tracing paper, specialty paper, and plain transfer paper. A packaging material library is established based on the effects of different packaging materials.

[0076] This software uses Three.js to create various printing effects such as lamination, hot stamping, UV printing, embossing, varnishing, and texturing. Textures are used to define the color of the mesh and to define highlights, bumps, and reflections. Textures are loaded and applied to the mesh. Texture loading methods include setting the `magFilter` property to specify how the texture is magnified, and setting the `minFilter` property to specify how the texture is shrunk. `THREE.LinearFilter` and `THREE.LinearMipMapLinearFilter` are used as the default values ​​for the `minFilter` property. Bump maps are used to create wrinkles, and the `bumpScale` property sets the height of the bump (a negative value represents the depth).

[0077] Based on the THREE.Material base material in Three.js, a library of cigarette packaging materials is created, including white cardstock, coated paper, holographic transfer paper, transparent holographic transfer paper, tracing paper, specialty paper, and plain transfer paper. Materials are like the skin of an object, determining the appearance of its geometry. For example, the skin defines whether a cigarette pack looks metallic, transparent, or displayed as a wireframe. The resulting THREE.Mesh objects can then be added to the scene rendered by Three.js.

[0078] The carbon tracking module is built through the following steps:

[0079] Step S31: Collect production data for each tobacco material production process to form a carbon emission inventory.

[0080] Step S32: Connect the carbon emission inventory with the design module to form a carbon tracking module.

[0081] Step S4: Based on the platform user's identity, map the functional modules and assign permissions to the functional modules.

[0082] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the digital simulation platform for cigarette product design serves as the carrier of future business logic for the organization and management of cigarette product design, and its main business functions are as follows:

[0083] (1) Enables auxiliary design of cigarette product packaging: allows designers to quickly convert 2D design graphics into 3D simulation effects. This shortens the design-to-prototype cycle and reduces the consumption of sample-making materials;

[0084] (2) Realize 3D simulation display of cigarette packaging products: designers and reviewers can conveniently view the three-dimensional model of the designed products through mobile phones, tablets and other media, and realize the three-dimensional 720-degree full-view presentation of the product design effect through interactive technology;

[0085] (3) Enable preliminary review of cigarette packaging design samples: It allows reviewers to compare the designed samples with similar samples, query intellectual property authorization information, review modification records, and estimate costs.

[0086] The design solution library is an image-based knowledge base for packaging design, providing knowledge base management, solution maintenance, and search functions to offer packaging designers design inspiration and historical cost analysis. Users can search for specific sets of solutions. Users can maintain / view solution image sets and descriptions. Users can maintain / view historical cost data for solutions.

[0087] The 3D box template library manages white template box template data for all specifications. The white template box template data reflects the geometry and structure of the cigarette pack and corresponds to a specific cigarette pack specification.

[0088] The material library manages all categories of material simulation data. Administrators and basic data administrators can add, delete, query, and modify material data. Users can search using fuzzy matching of material names.

[0089] The process library manages all simulation processes. It provides basic data administrators and platform administrators with functions for adding, deleting, querying, and modifying processes in the process library, and provides process selection, process management, and process type management. It supports the following processes: (1) Printing methods include: offset printing, screen printing, gravure printing, flexographic printing; (2) Process manifestations include: matte, snowflake, UV, flocking, refractive, fission, reverse varnishing, frosted, gold, silver, electroplated aluminum (gold / silver / blue / red / coffee / bronze / water ripple / floral pattern, etc.).

[0090] The Design Element Library manages all design element resources, including various patterns and graphic design materials. It provides basic data administrators and platform data administrators with functions for managing element types and materials, including adding, deleting, querying, and modifying elements and materials.

[0091] For a specific design scheme, create and edit 3D simulations. For example: (1) create a 3D simulation of a cigarette pack and a 3D simulation of a carton; (2) use a 3D simulation editor to complete the 3D simulations of the cigarette pack and the carton.

[0092] The review module mainly manages the expert review information of cigarette pack simulation design schemes, including review records, a list of simulation designs corresponding to the review, a list of professional members participating in the review, and expert opinions.

[0093] The function of a 3D simulation editor is:

[0094] (1) When creating a 3D simulation, the box model or strip box model specified for the design project is automatically imported from the 3D box library;

[0095] (2) When editing 3D simulations, you can import the required 3D model data;

[0096] (3) The system creates corresponding layers in 3D simulation based on the AI ​​layer information.

[0097] (4) Add graphics / patterns to a layer;

[0098] (5) Edit / replace elements in the layer;

[0099] (6) Control the visibility of layers;

[0100] (7) Select a material from the material library and assign it to the selected cigarette pack component.

[0101] (8) Provides material editing function to adjust material parameters for special needs;

[0102] (9) Users select different processes from the process library for different layers.

[0103] (10) Lighting settings: Add a light to the lighting group. A maximum of four lights can be added. The type of each light can be set individually: directional light, point light, spotlight, hemispherical light, and its parameters can be edited.

[0104] (11) Hotspot Editing: Create and edit hotspots, and associate them with images, text, and other descriptive information. Default Hotspots: The models in the box library provide default hotspots such as opening a cigarette box and taking out a cigarette, and associate them with corresponding animations. Users can adjust the position of the default hotspots and save 3D hotspot data.

[0105] (12) Animation support: The box model in the box library provides the following animations by default: default cigarette pack opening animation; default cigarette extraction animation; default unfolding animation.

[0106] (13) Provides 3D rendering preview, customized optional preview, standard animation preview, and hot topic interaction; hot selling point preview, and provides QR code support for mobile phone scanning preview.

[0107] (14) Provide a simulation review interface, allowing designated users to enter the simulation review, operate the 3D simulation model, switch options (color, process, etc.), add virtual scenes, adjust the position and size of predefined adjustable elements, and fill in review records.

[0108] Through the above research, the main business processes of the simulation platform were determined, and the main business directions involved in the platform were clarified, avoiding the platform's functions from failing to focus on core issues. User roles within the platform were gradually analyzed through the business processes, and the application scope and permission range of these roles were designed. Combining the business processes and platform roles, the platform's business functions were further refined, and the business processes were solidified, ensuring the platform's functions were effectively implemented.

[0109] Example of carbon footprint accounting driven by green design

[0110] Taking the replacement of aluminum foil composite inner liner paper with biodegradable aluminum-free inner liner paper as an example, this demonstrates the application process of LCA in green design:

[0111] 1) Data retrieval and modeling: Accurately retrieve aluminum-free inner liner paper production data (such as power consumption and raw material transportation distance) from the TCFD database, and combine it with biodegradation process emission data in CLCD to construct a full life cycle model.

[0112] 2) Comparative Analysis: The system automatically matches the carbon footprint data (energy consumption, process emissions) of the aluminum foil and the inner lining paper, and calculates the difference in carbon footprint between the two. The results show... Figure 5 As shown, the carbon footprint of aluminum foil composite inner liner paper is much higher than that of non-aluminum inner liner paper.

[0113] 3) Decision optimization: Based on the Monte Carlo simulation to quantify uncertainty, it is recommended to adopt an aluminum-free inner liner design to reduce the overall carbon footprint.

[0114] The system achieves intelligent linkage across multiple databases through a "data fingerprint matching algorithm." It analyzes the process characteristics, material properties, and regional tags of the input data to generate a unique data fingerprint. Priority is given to matching TCFD industry-specific data; if missing, the system sequentially calls the CLCD China database and Ecoinvent international data (such as European papermaking processes), automatically adding a Data Quality Rating (DQR). Reliability is ensured through a dual-loop verification mechanism: static verification verifies material balance (tobacco curing input / output error ≤ 5%). Annual version iterations update key parameters (e.g., the 2024 Hubei power grid factor of 0.583 kgCO2e / kWh), supporting 98.7% of Huanghelou cigarette data sourced from the TCFD industry database, with the remaining 1.3% of overseas packaging material data supplemented through Ecoinvent. This achieves seamless integration and accurate calculation of data throughout the entire lifecycle, providing a solid data foundation for green design.

[0115] It is understandable that the application of digital simulation design and review for cigarette product packaging has achieved the design goals and met the usage requirements.

[0116] (1) Transform the traditional “experience + feeling” design model into “facts + data” to lay the foundation for intelligent design.

[0117] (2) It improves the expressive power of design. Through 3D simulation, the design effect can be better expressed.

[0118] (3) Replace physical proofing. By simulating the printing process with 3D simulation, a certain degree of design verification can be obtained before physical proofing.

[0119] (4) The construction of the carbon footprint database of tobacco materials provides product developers with an intuitive judgment on the environmental protection attributes of different materials, and also provides reviewers with an intuitive judgment on the carbon footprint of the designed and developed cigarette products.

[0120] (5) Improved review efficiency. Through simulation review, online review can be carried out without time or space restrictions, saving manpower and resources.

[0121] (6) Improve the collaborative efficiency of each link in the cigarette packaging design business and make beneficial explorations in the industry’s “promoting data-enabled collaborative transformation of the entire industry chain”.

[0122] Based on the same inventive concept, this application also provides a computer system including a memory, a processor, and computer-readable instructions stored in the memory and executable on the processor. When the processor executes the program, it implements the above-mentioned method for constructing a packaging design platform for cigarette products.

[0123] The computer system can be a server. The computer system includes a processor, non-volatile storage medium, internal memory, input device, display screen, and network interface connected via a system bus. The non-volatile storage medium of the computer system can store an operating system and computer-readable instructions. When these computer-readable instructions are executed, they can cause the processor to execute the cigarette product packaging design platform construction method of the various embodiments of this application. The specific implementation process of this method can be found in [reference needed]. Figure 1 The specific details will not be elaborated here.

[0124] The processor of this computer system provides computing and control capabilities, supporting the operation of the entire system. The internal memory stores computer-readable instructions, which, when executed by the processor, enable the processor to perform a method for constructing a packaging design platform for cigarette products. The computer system's input devices are used for inputting various parameters, its display screen is used for display, and its network interface is used for network communication.

[0125] Based on the same inventive concept, this application provides a computer-readable storage medium storing computer-readable instructions, which, when executed by a processor, implement the steps in the above-described method for constructing a packaging design platform for cigarette products.

[0126] The memory in this application embodiment can be volatile memory or non-volatile memory, or it can include both volatile and non-volatile memory.
