Problems solved by technology

Since a printed label printed by a consumer's own printer is usually of lower quality and lower resolution than a label printed by a printing company, it becomes easier to manipulate, modify, or counterfeit the label
[0013] Furthermore, this approach does not solve the problems caused by sending other items or fake compacts by using the label

Embodiment Construction

[0046] To facilitate implementation of the invention, only certain embodiments or aspects of the invention are described below.

[0047] Figure 1 shows a network system connected to several computers located in some instruments. In this specification, the word "computer" is sometimes used as a central processing unit (CPU) itself or a CPU including surrounding hardware and software. According to this embodiment, the network 1 should at least connect a computer (hereinafter referred to as "manufacturer server") 2 located in the manufacturer's server, a computer located in the consumer's personal computer (hereinafter referred to as "customer PC") ”)4, a computer located in the recycling center or factory server (hereinafter referred to as "factory server")3, and a computer located in the carrier's personal computer (hereinafter referred to as "carrier PC") 6.

[0048] Furthermore, although only one carrier PC 6 and one factory server 3 are shown in FIG. 1 , a plurality of car...

Abstract

This invention introduces, as one aspect, a system for handling data to be used for returning items; comprising means for creating label data representing a label to be printed for returning items from a customer, means for adding additional information on the label data to be used for restricting usage of the label, means for sending the label data to a customer, means for receiving the additional information contained in the label data corresponding to the printed label to be used, and means for checking the received additional information to decide whether the printed label can be used or not. Accordingly usage of the label copied, modified, or faked would significantly minimised with a little additional cost. Further, checking identification of a returned item, the problem caused by sending other items or fake items can be solved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a system and a device for processing data to be used to return items. In particular, the present invention relates to, but is not limited to, the return of recyclable items containing consumables such as toner cartridges, ink bottles, and the like. Background technique [0002] Recently, it has become more important to collect recyclable items such as toner cartridges, ink bottles, etc. from consumers. Empty toner cartridges, for example, obviously become subject to disposal after the toner itself has been used. However, some parts can be reused, and some manufacturers have prepared factories or recycling centers to make new toner cartridges filled with toner. [0003] Then, the manufacturer can effectively use such an empty toner container and can save costs. In addition, these actions are good for the environment, and the advertisements used for these actions make consumers aware of the importance of recycling. [0004] A...
