[0037] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a method embodiment of a label printing processing method is provided. It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart of the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer executable instructions, and although a logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described can be executed in an order different from that shown here.

[0038] Figure 2 is a flow chart of a method for printing a label according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 As shown, the label printing method includes the following steps:

[0039] Step S202, obtaining basic printing data, wherein the basic printing data is feature data of each type of product label, and the feature data is used to describe each type of product label.

[0040] Optionally, the basic printing data may include but is not limited to: page size, page spacing, page element types (text, QR code, one-dimensional code, picture, geometric figure, original instructions, etc.), element size, element coordinates, element style (such as text font, whether italic, etc.), element default value, element order and other information.

[0041] Step S204: Generate a universal label printing template for each type of product based on the basic printing data.

[0042] Figure 3 is a flow chart of an optional label printing processing method according to an embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, a general label template schema (i.e., the above-mentioned general label printing template) can be defined, and the schema can be used to describe all the features of the label template, for example, the above-mentioned basic printing data, i.e., page size, page spacing, page element type (text, QR code, one-dimensional code, picture, geometric figure, original instruction, etc.), element size, element coordinates, element style (such as text font, whether it is italic, etc.), element default value, element order and other information.

[0043] The schema definition information may include: label paper description information (template name, width, height, top margin, bottom margin and label paper spacing), element information array (element unique ID, element name, element title, text layout information, font, font size, font style, default value, level, element width, element height, left coordinate value, top coordinate value and bound business attributes).

[0044] Step S206, when a label printing instruction is received, a target label printing template matching the target product is obtained from the universal label printing template according to the label printing instruction, wherein the label printing instruction is an instruction generated based on the label printing requirement of the target product.

[0045] In this embodiment, if a label printing instruction is received, a target label printing template corresponding to the target product to be labeled can be selected from the above-generated universal label printing templates based on the information contained in the label printing instruction (for example, product type).

[0046] The label printing instruction is generated according to the label printing requirement of the target product.

[0047] The above label printing requirements are what type of label printing is required for what type of product.

[0048] Step S208: Generate a printing instruction set based on the target label printing template.

[0049] In this embodiment, a printing instruction may be generated according to the label printing information included in the target label printing target to obtain a printing instruction set.

[0050] Step S210, controlling the target printer to execute the printing job based on the printing instruction set to obtain a target label corresponding to the label printing requirement.

[0051] In this embodiment, the target printer can be controlled to execute the printing job according to the above-generated printing instruction set to obtain the target label corresponding to the label printing requirement.

[0052] As can be seen from the above, in an embodiment of the present invention, basic printing data can be obtained, wherein the basic printing data is characteristic data of labels of various types of products, and the characteristic data is used to describe labels of various types of products; a universal label printing template for various types of products is generated based on the basic printing data; when a label printing instruction is received, a target label printing template matching the target product is obtained from the universal label printing template according to the label printing instruction, wherein the label printing instruction is an instruction generated based on the label printing requirement of the target product; a printing instruction set is generated based on the target label printing template; based on the printing instruction set, the target printer is controlled to execute a printing job to obtain a target label corresponding to the label printing requirement, thereby achieving the purpose of generating a universal label template according to the basic printing data of various products in advance, and then directly selecting a label template from the universal label template according to the product type that needs to be printed when label printing is required, thereby improving the versatility of the label printing system, and also decoupling and separating the label template from the business system, thereby improving the reusability of the label template.

[0053] Therefore, the above technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present invention solves the technical problem in the related art that the label template and the business system cannot be decoupled and analyzed and the versatility is poor.

[0054] According to the above embodiment of the present invention, when a printing instruction is received, a target label printing template matching the target product is obtained from the universal label printing template according to the label printing instruction, including: calling the list information of the application program interface API module; and determining the target label printing template matching the target product based on the list information.

[0055] In this embodiment, in the label printing business system, when a label needs to be printed, the template list can be queried through the API provided by the template system to select the template required for the business process.

[0056] That is, in this embodiment, the target label printing template matching the target product can be selected from the label templates by calling the API interface. Figure 3 As shown, the business system can obtain the schema data corresponding to the template through the API and fill it with business data.

[0057] According to the above-mentioned embodiment of the present invention, generating a printing instruction set based on a target label printing template may include: obtaining label information of a pre-printed target product; comparing the label information of the target product with the target label printing template to obtain a comparison result; in a case where it is determined based on the comparison result that the target label printing template needs to be filled with data, obtaining the filling data that needs to be filled in the target label printing template through an API module; filling the target label printing template with data according to the filling data to obtain the target label printing template after the data is filled; and generating a printing instruction set based on the filled target label printing template.

[0058] In this embodiment, the label information of the target product to be printed can be obtained first, and the label information can be compared with the target label printing template. When it is determined that the target label printing module needs to be filled, the filling data required to fill the target label printing template can be obtained through the API module, and then the target label printing target can be filled with data according to the filling data to obtain a complete target label printing target corresponding to the label printing requirements.

[0059] For example, in a business system, the schema is implemented as a specific data object using the programming language used by the business system. The object exposes the read and write operation APIs for each attribute. Use the API to fill the template data with business data. If the element sets bindAttr (the attribute is a bound business attribute), the business data corresponding to the field needs to be used to replace the original content.

[0060] According to the above embodiment of the present invention, a printing instruction set is generated based on a target label printing template, including: parsing the target label printing template to obtain an initial printing instruction set; obtaining the printing instruction type supported by the target printer; and formatting the initial printing instruction according to the printing instruction type to obtain the corresponding printing instruction set.

[0061] In this embodiment, the business system can connect to the target printing device to obtain a list of instruction types supported by the target printing device, or obtain the list through business system configuration and select a specific instruction type (such as selecting CPCL).

[0062] like Figure 3 As shown, the business system can obtain the instruction set types that the printer can support through the API interface.

[0063] For example, the label template schema data filled with business data is parsed and converted into printing instructions according to the required printing instruction type. Different parsing conversions are required here according to different printing instruction types, because standard instruction sets such as ESC / POS, CPCL, TSPL, and ZPL have different descriptions of the same printing behavior.

[0064] The specific printing instruction conversion process can be explained by taking the TSPL instruction as an example:

[0065] 1) Parse the pageData in the schema to obtain the page layout information. Convert it to TSPL instructions:

[0066] SIZE 560dot,600dot;

[0067] GAP 16dot.

[0068] 2) Parse the tag element TextItem and convert it into TSPL instructions:

[0069] TEXT 50,25,"Bold",0,1,1,"Sheet Metal Receipt Ticket (HSF)".

[0070] 3) Parse the tag element LineItem. Convert it into TSPL instructions:

[0071] BAR 0,146,560,3.

[0072] 4) Parse the label element BarcodeItem. Convert it into TSPL instructions:

[0073] BARCODE 76,81,"128",45,0,0,1,1,"0123456789";

[0074] 5) Parse the tag element QRcodeItem. Convert it into TSPL instructions:

[0075] QRCODE 400,14,L,4,M,0,M1,S1,"0123456789".

[0076] 6) Then add the print instructions, and finally get the complete instruction set:

[0077] SIZE 560dot,600dot;

[0078] GAP 16dot;

[0079] TEXT 50,25,"Bold",0,1,1,"Sheet Metal Sourcing Ticket (HSF)";

[0080] BAR 0,146,560,3;

[0081] BARCODE 76,81,"128",45,0,0,1,1,"0123456789";

[0082] QRCODE 400,14,L,4,M,0,M1,S1,"0123456789";

[0083] PRINT 1,1.

[0084] According to the above embodiment of the present invention, after generating universal label printing templates for various types of products based on basic printing data, the label printing processing method further includes: storing the generated universal label printing templates to a target location according to a preset format.

[0085] In this embodiment, the label template design work is completed in this label printing system and saved as standard schema data, and an interface is provided externally for querying template query details.

[0086] That is, in the label template management system, design the label template (including setting the page width, height, blank space and other information, adding elements required for the label such as barcodes, setting the element width and height, coordinates, text information, content value, etc.), and save the template according to the schema standard. It can be saved as a json string or standard relational database data.

[0087] According to the above embodiment of the present invention, after generating a universal label printing template for each type of product based on basic printing data, the label printing processing method further includes: saving the generated label printing template in the form of schema data to a target location.

[0088] In this embodiment, if Figure 3 As shown, template design can be performed in the target design system and saved as schema data.

[0089] According to the above embodiment of the present invention, after controlling the target printer to execute a printing job based on a printing instruction set to obtain a target label corresponding to the label printing requirement, the label printing processing method also includes: generating a printing record after determining that the target printer has completed the printing job; and storing the printing record.

[0090] In this embodiment, after the target printer completes the printing task, a printing record is generated, and then the printing record is stored to facilitate the recording and tracing of subsequent printing jobs of the target printer.

[0091] In addition, in the embodiment of the present invention, printing auxiliary information, such as the number of copies and counters, can also be filled in to obtain a complete label printing instruction set, such as (PRINT 1, 1); the business system converts the obtained printing instruction set into byte binary data and sends it to the mobile printing device. After receiving the command, the printing device executes the printing action and prints out a complete physical label. Finally, the business system records the printing records and key data when printing the label to help the business system realize the review of printing behavior and other gain-making things in the business system.

[0092] Figure 4 is an interaction diagram of a label printing system according to an embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 4 As shown, the user can send a label printing instruction through a computer (e.g., PC); then, the computer can send the label printing instruction to the template system, and the template system will call the template system database to obtain the target label printing template; in addition, the user can also send a label printing instruction to the template system through a mobile terminal, and then call the template system data through the template system to obtain the target label printing template. Then, the printing instruction set corresponding to the target label template is sent to the wireless printer to execute the printing job. Among them, Figure 4 As shown, the mobile terminal can be connected to the business system for communication so as to retrieve the target label printing template from the business system database through the business system.

[0093] As can be seen from the above, in the embodiment of the present invention, the system is divided into a label template management system, a business system, and a mobile printing device. The label template management system includes: template design, template management, version control and other modules.

[0094] Label template design is completed in this system and saved as standard schema data, providing an interface for querying templates and querying template details. The business system includes modules such as specific business operations, label template query, business data filling, instruction parsing, and printing device connection management. Mobile printing devices include wireless wifi printers and Bluetooth printers.

[0095] Therefore, through the technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present invention, the label template is defined and described by standardizing the schema, and the label template is described as reusable, modifiable and portable standard data, which realizes the free design, storage and sharing of the label template, and decouples the template system from the business system. The same set of template data defined by the schema is used between the label design system and the business system, which reduces the integration cost and difficulty between the two systems. The business system is responsible for filling the business data of the label and converting it into a standard printing instruction set, and then sending it to the printer for printing via Bluetooth or wireless network connection, so that the label template is filled with business data, and the schema data can be modified arbitrarily. The general label schema can be parsed into different printer instruction sets, such as ESC / POS, CPCL, TSPL, ZPL and other standard instruction sets, without relying on third-party software or manufacturer SDK. This solution does not rely on third-party software or the development SDK provided by various printer manufacturers, and can seamlessly connect to printers of various types from various manufacturers, greatly reducing the adaptation and use costs of the printer, as well as the system development costs. At the same time, the following problems are solved: 1) It is impossible to decouple the label template system and the business system; 2) The traditional solution relies on third-party software and printer manufacturer SDK to parse printing instructions, which limits the ability to adapt to printers.

[0096] It should be noted that, for the aforementioned method embodiments, for the sake of simplicity, they are all expressed as a series of action combinations, but those skilled in the art should be aware that the present application is not limited by the described order of actions, because according to the present application, certain steps can be performed in other orders or simultaneously. Secondly, those skilled in the art should also be aware that the embodiments described in the specification are all preferred embodiments, and the actions and modules involved are not necessarily required by the present application.

[0097] Through the description of the above implementation methods, those skilled in the art can clearly understand that the method according to the above embodiment can be implemented by means of software plus a necessary general hardware platform, and of course by hardware, but in many cases the former is a better implementation method. Based on this understanding, the technical solution of the present application, or the part that contributes to the prior art, can be embodied in the form of a software product, which is stored in a storage medium (such as ROM / RAM, magnetic disk, optical disk), and includes a number of instructions for a terminal device (which can be a mobile phone, computer, server, or network device, etc.) to execute the methods described in each embodiment of the present application.
