BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0040] In order to more clearly illustrate the specific embodiments of the present invention, the drawings required for use in the embodiments are briefly introduced below.

[0041] Figure 1 The present invention provides a schematic diagram of a remote interactive cigarette box packaging design system process framework. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0042] In order to enable persons skilled in the art to better understand the solutions of the embodiments of the present invention, the embodiments of the present invention are further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and implementation modes.

[0043] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention, but the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art may make similar generalizations without violating the connotation of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0044] Secondly, the term "one embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The term "in one embodiment" that appears in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor does it refer to a separate or selective embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments.

[0045] As a preferred solution described in the present invention, the present invention provides a remote interactive cigarette box packaging design system, which includes the following modules: a client cigarette box sketch editing module, a single product cigarette box virtual display module, a user management module, a database management module, a data analysis module, and a cigarette box interactive design auxiliary module.

[0046] As a preferred solution described in the present invention, the client cigarette box sketch editing module includes the following units: basic picture upload and deletion function unit, cigarette box LOGO upload and deletion function unit, packaging structure upload and deletion function unit, material map upload and deletion function unit, color modification pairing function unit, color modification pairing function unit, message interaction function unit.

[0047] The basic picture upload and deletion functional unit adopts advanced file upload interface technology and HTML5-based file upload component to support the upload of multiple common picture formats (JPEG, PNG, GIF, etc.). During the upload process, the pictures are strictly format verified and size restricted (the picture size is limited to no more than 5MB and the resolution is not less than 72dpi) to ensure the performance and compatibility of the system. For the uploaded pictures, database storage technology is used to store them in the database and associate them with the corresponding cigarette box design projects. The efficiency of picture retrieval is improved by establishing indexes and optimizing query statements. Users can view the list of uploaded pictures through intuitive operations on the interface and click the corresponding button to implement the deletion operation. The deletion operation will trigger a database transaction and delete the corresponding picture record and related index information from the database to ensure the consistency and integrity of the data.

[0048] The cigarette box LOGO upload and deletion function unit provides a special LOGO upload area, which also supports multiple image formats. When uploading, the system uses image analysis technology to detect the resolution and color mode (RGB or CMYK) of the LOGO image to ensure that its clarity and color accuracy meet the requirements of cigarette box packaging design (resolution is not less than 300dpi, and the color mode is CMYK). In order to facilitate users to adjust the position and size of the LOGO, a JavaScript-based image editing library is used to provide dragging, zooming and rotating functions in the preview interface. Users can intuitively see the effect of the LOGO on the cigarette box and can make fine adjustments as needed. The deletion operation is similar to the basic picture matching, and will simultaneously update the LOGO-related records in the database, including picture path, location information, size information, etc.

[0049] In the packaging structure upload and deletion function unit, users can upload sketches or design drawings of cigarette box packaging structures. These pictures can be hand-drawn pictures scanned, or electronic files drawn using professional drawing software (Adobe Lustrator, CoreDRAW, etc.). During the upload process, the system uses image recognition and intelligent analysis technology to extract and analyze the packaging structure pictures (using deep learning algorithms to identify structural features such as flip covers, drawers, hard boxes, and soft boxes), and provides corresponding structural annotations and detailed descriptions on the interface to help users better understand and modify. Users can delete unnecessary packaging structure pictures through interface operations, and the system will synchronously update relevant records in the database, including information such as picture path, project, and structure type to ensure data consistency.

[0050] The material map upload and deletion function unit supports the upload of cigarette box material maps. The material map can be a photo of the cigarette box material actually taken, or it can be a picture selected from the material library. During the upload process, the system uses image processing algorithms to perform color correction, contrast adjustment and resolution optimization on the material map to ensure consistent display effects on different devices. Using graphics processing technology, users can perform operations such as tiling, stretching, and rotating the material map in the preview interface to adapt to the different surfaces and shapes of the cigarette box. The deletion operation will delete the corresponding material map record from the database and update the material information of the relevant cigarette box design project, including material name, map path, application location, etc.

[0051] In the color modification matching functional unit, the texture is tiled, stretched, rotated, etc. to adapt to the different surfaces and shapes of the cigarette box. The deletion operation deletes the corresponding material texture record from the database and updates the material information of the relevant cigarette box design project, including material name, texture path, application location, etc.

[0052] In the color modification matching function unit, a powerful color selector is provided on the interface by drawing on the color selection and matching methods in the literature. The color selector includes common cigarette box color series (gold series, silver series, red series, green series, etc.) and basic color options (256 colors in RGB mode and 100% cyan, magenta, yellow, and black in different proportions in CMYK mode). The user can select the main color of the cigarette box by clicking the color block in the color selector. At the same time, the system will automatically recommend the auxiliary color to match it according to the color matching principle and the specific needs of the cigarette box design (for the gold main color, it is recommended to match the auxiliary color of black, white or red, and give different proportions of matching suggestions). In order to meet the user's personalized needs for color, a custom color function is also provided, and the user can mix his favorite color by entering the RGB value or using the palette tool. After the user selects or adjusts the color, the system will update the color display of the cigarette box sketch in real time, using real-time rendering technology to let the user intuitively see the effect, and update the color information of the relevant cigarette box design project in the database at the same time.

[0053] In the message interaction functional unit, instant messaging technology is used, and a real-time communication framework based on the WebSocket protocol is used to set a message box on the sketch editing interface. Users and designers can enter message content in real time, and the message content will be pushed to the relevant recipients in real time (ordinary users send to designers, and designers reply to ordinary users), and displayed in the form of a conversation list on the interface, so that both parties can view the historical message records. In order to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the message, the system will limit the number of words in the message content (no more than 500 words per message), verify the character encoding, and filter sensitive words to avoid garbled characters, information loss, or the spread of bad information.

[0054] As a preferred solution of the present invention, the single-product cigarette box virtual display module displays the cigarette box packaging effect in a virtual environment and provides an interactive adjustment function, so that users can intuitively feel the final effect of the design, find problems in time and make adjustments. It includes the following units: cigarette box spatial displacement scaling function unit, LOGO mapping function unit, material mapping function unit, scene display function unit, upload and save model function unit, and preview function unit.

[0055] In the cigarette box spatial displacement and scaling functional unit, based on advanced 3D modeling and rendering technology, game development engines such as Unity3D or UnrealEngine are used to import the cigarette box model into the virtual display environment. Through mouse operation or touch screen operation (for touch-enabled devices), users can realize the displacement (up and down, left and right, front and back) and scaling (zoom in or out) of the cigarette box in three-dimensional space. During operation, the system uses a physical simulation engine to calculate the position and size changes of the cigarette box in real time, and updates the virtual display scene to ensure the smoothness and authenticity of the display effect. At the same time, the system will generate an operation history based on the user's operation record, which is convenient for users to review and undo operations.

[0056] In the LOGO mapping function unit, after the user uploads and adjusts the cigarette box LOGO in the sketch editing module, the system will accurately paste the LOGO on the corresponding position of the cigarette box model in the virtual display module. Using high-precision image mapping technology and a texture mapping algorithm based on UV mapping, it is ensured that the LOGO can maintain the correct display effect under different angles and lighting conditions, and fits perfectly with the surface of the cigarette box without deformation or blur. At the same time, the system will adaptively adjust the color and brightness of the LOGO according to the material and lighting environment of the cigarette box to make it more realistic.

[0057] In the material mapping functional unit, the material map selected by the user in the sketch editing module is also applied to the cigarette box model based on 3D modeling and rendering technology. In the material mapping process, the system considers the physical properties of the material (glossiness, roughness, transparency, etc.) and simulates the real material effect through complex lighting models and texture mapping algorithms. For metal materials, the system simulates the reflection and refraction effects of metal; for paper materials, the system simulates the texture and wrinkle effect of paper. Users can change the attribute parameters of the material through interactive operations and observe the changes in the material effect in real time.

[0058] In the scene display function unit, a variety of cigarette box display scenes are pre-built, including store shelf scenes, smoking area scenes, gift box scenes, outdoor advertising scenes, etc. Through scene switching technology and JavaScript-based scene switching components, users can quickly switch between different scenes to view the display effects of cigarette boxes in various actual environments. In each scene, the system will set the corresponding lighting effects, background environment and prop layout according to the characteristics of the scene. In the store shelf scene, the lighting of the shelf and the placement of surrounding goods will be simulated; in the smoking area scene, the environment and atmosphere of the smoking area will be simulated. Through environmental simulation technology, the realism and immersion of the scene are enhanced.

[0059] In the upload and save model function unit, upload and save buttons are set on the virtual display interface. After the user is satisfied with the cigarette box design, he can click the upload button to upload the design model to the database on the server side for storage. During the upload process, the system uses data compression and encryption technology, adopts ZIP compression algorithm and AES encryption algorithm, and compresses and encrypts the model to reduce the amount of data transmission and improve data security. At the same time, the user can also click the save button to save the current design state to the local device so that it can be viewed and modified in an offline state. The saved file format can adopt a system-defined format, which contains the design data, material information color information, scene settings, etc. of the cigarette box. The system will perform version management on the saved files to facilitate users to view different versions of designs.

[0060] In the preview function unit, multiple preview perspectives are set on the virtual display interface, including front perspective, side perspective, top perspective, perspective view, internal perspective, etc. Users can quickly view the appearance and details of the cigarette box at different degrees by clicking the corresponding perspective button or using the mouse wheel to switch perspectives. In order to improve the preview effect, the system uses high-definition rendering technology to render the cigarette box in high definition at each perspective, showing the color, material, LOGO and other detailed information of the cigarette box, so that users can fully understand the design effect. At the same time, the system will generate personalized preview settings based on the user's perspective preferences to facilitate the user's next viewing.

[0061] As a preferred solution of the present invention, the user management module manages the users of the system by categories, including ordinary users and designers, and grants different permissions to ensure the security of the system and the confidentiality of data. It includes the following units: user registration and login function unit, permission management function unit, and user information management function unit.

[0062] In the user registration and login functional unit, a user registration interface is provided. The user needs to fill in detailed basic information (user name, password, email address, mobile phone number, ID card number, etc.) and perform identity verification (email verification, mobile phone text message verification, ID card verification, etc.) to ensure the authenticity and validity of the registration information. During the registration process, the system uses encryption technology to encrypt and store the password entered by the user, using MD5 or SHA-256 encryption algorithm. During the login process, the system will encrypt and verify the username and password entered by the user, and compare them with the user information stored in the database. If the verification is passed, the user can successfully log in to the system and enter the corresponding operation interface according to his user type (ordinary user or designer). In order to improve the security of the login, the system will set a limit on the number of login failures (after 3 consecutive login failures, the account will be locked for 10 minutes) and provide a password retrieval function. The user can reset the password via email or mobile phone text message. At the same time, the system will record the user's login history, including login time, login IP address and other information, so as to conduct security audits when necessary.

[0063] In the authority management functional unit, the administrator can set different permissions for different users in the system background. For ordinary users, they are granted permissions to view cigarette box design projects, make comments and suggestions, participate in some design links (submit requirements in sketch editing), etc. For designers, in addition to the permissions of ordinary users, they are also granted permissions to edit and modify cigarette box design sketches, upload design plans, communicate in depth with customers, and view project progress. Permission settings are implemented through the permission table in the database, and each user has a corresponding permission record in the database. After the user logs in, the system will load the corresponding operation interface and function module according to the permission record, and verify the permissions in real time during the user operation to ensure that the user can only perform operations within his or her authority.

[0064] In the user information management functional unit, the administrator can manage the basic information of the user in the system background, including creating new users, deleting users, and modifying user information. (Username, password, email address, mobile phone number, ID card number, etc.). When modifying user information, the system will perform format verification and legality check on the input information (password strength check, email address format verification, mobile phone number format verification, ID card number format verification, etc.) to ensure that the modified information meets the system requirements. At the same time, the system will record the modification history of the user information, including modification time, modifier, information before modification, information after modification, etc., so as to query and trace when necessary.

[0065] As a preferred solution described in the present invention, the database management module is responsible for storing various data in the system, including user information, cigarette box design sketches, materials, colors, models, etc. It is the data center of the entire system, ensuring the integrity, consistency and security of the data. It includes the following units: data storage function unit, data association function unit, data query and update function unit.

[0066] In the data storage functional unit, a high-performance relational database management system (MVSQL8.0 or SQLServer2019) is used to design a reasonable database structure according to the data requirements of the system. Create multiple data tables, user tables (storing basic information and permission information of users), cigarette box design sketch tables (storing sketch information uploaded by users, including picture path, sketch description, project, upload time, etc.), material tables (storing data related to cigarette box materials, material names, material pictures, material physical properties, material classifications, etc.), color tables (storing data related to cigarette box colors, color names, RGB values, CMYK values, color matching suggestions, color classifications, etc.), and model data tables (storing three-dimensional model data of cigarette boxes, including model file paths, model parameters, model projects, model creation time, etc.). During the data storage process, the data is normalized, and primary key and foreign key constraints are set to ensure the integrity and consistency of the data. The user ID field in the cigarette box design sketch table is associated with the primary key of the user table as a foreign key to ensure the correct correspondence between the sketch information and the user information. At the same time, in order to improve the performance of the database, the data table is partitioned, and the data is stored in different partitions according to the frequency of use and relevance of the data, thereby reducing the time for data query.

[0067] In the data association functional unit, the association relationship between each data table is established by setting foreign key constraints and association query statements. When a user queries a cigarette box design project, the system can obtain project-related user information from the user table, obtain sketch information from the cigarette box design sketch table, obtain material information from the material table, obtain color information from the color table, and obtain model information from the model data table through association query, and integrate this information to provide users with complete project details. In order to improve query efficiency, frequently used association queries are optimized, and technical means such as indexing, using views, and adopting stored procedures are used to reduce query time and improve system performance. At the same time, the system will automatically maintain the association relationship according to the update of the data to ensure data consistency.

[0068] In the data query and update functional unit, a rich data query interface is provided to support querying according to different conditions. Users can query cigarette box design projects according to conditions such as project name, user name, design time, and project status; designers can query the projects they are responsible for according to conditions such as project status (in progress, completed), design style, and customer needs. In terms of data update, when users operate in the system (upload new sketches, modify color information, etc.), the system will update the relevant records in the database in a timely manner. The update operation will follow the transaction processing principles of the database to ensure the consistency and integrity of the data. If an error occurs during the update process, the system will roll back and restore to the state before the update. At the same time, the system will record the history of data updates, including update time, updater, data before update, data after update, etc., so that it can be queried and traced when needed.

[0069] As a preferred solution of the present invention, the data analysis module analyzes the data in the system to provide reference and decision-making basis for cigarette package design, helping designers to better understand user needs and market trends. It includes the following units: user demand analysis function unit, design trend analysis function unit, and market feedback analysis function.

[0070] In the user demand analysis functional unit, advanced text analysis technology and natural language processing (NLP) algorithms are used to analyze the message content left by ordinary users in the sketch editing module. Through word frequency statistics, semantic analysis, sentiment analysis and other methods, the key needs and opinions of users on cigarette box packaging, the preferences of users on colors, materials, patterns, etc., and the requirements for cigarette box functions (moisture-proof, fresh-keeping, anti-counterfeiting, etc.) are extracted. The analysis results are presented to the designer in a visual form, and a demand report chart is generated to show the proportion and importance of different needs, helping designers to clarify the design direction. At the same time, the system will dynamically update the analysis results according to changes in user needs to ensure that designers can keep abreast of the latest user needs.

[0071] In the design trend analysis functional unit, a large number of cigarette box design sketches and the final design schemes are collected, and image analysis and feature extraction are performed on them. The design elements (color, pattern, structure, etc.) are analyzed through a deep learning algorithm to summarize the current popular trends in cigarette box packaging design, including the popularity and development trends of the style, retro style, environmental style, and technological style. The design trend analysis results are combined with market sales data to analyze the impact of different design trends on product sales, providing data support for companies to adjust their packaging strategies. Later, the system will continuously update the design trend analysis results according to market changes and design innovations to ensure that companies can grasp market dynamics in a timely manner.

[0072] The market feedback analysis functional unit integrates market sales data, user feedback information (user evaluation, complaints, etc.) and data related to cigarette box design, and uses data analysis models (regression analysis, cluster analysis, decision tree analysis, etc.) to analyze the impact of different cigarette box packaging designs on product sales and find out the key factors affecting sales (packaging color, pattern attractiveness, material texture, etc.). According to the market feedback analysis results, provide companies with packaging design improvement suggestions, adjust color matching, optimize pattern design, change materials, etc., to improve the market competitiveness of products. At the same time, the system will dynamically update the analysis results according to changes in market feedback to ensure that companies can adjust packaging design in a timely manner according to market demand.

[0073] As a preferred solution of the present invention, the cigarette box interactive design auxiliary module provides some auxiliary tools and functions for cigarette box packaging design, improves design efficiency and quality, and ensures that the design complies with relevant standards and specifications. It includes the following units: cigarette box size standard reference function unit, cigarette box design specification prompt function unit, and cigarette box template providing function unit.

[0074] In the cigarette box size standard reference function unit, a cigarette box size standard database is established to store standard data (length, width, height, thickness, etc.) of common cigarette box sizes and the size specifications of different brands and types of cigarette boxes. In the sketch editing module and the virtual display module, when the user designs a cigarette box, the system automatically provides the corresponding size standard reference data according to the cigarette box type (conventional cigarette box, thin cigarette box, cigar box, etc.) selected by the user. The user can refer to these size data during the design process to ensure that the designed cigarette box meets the actual production and use requirements. At the same time, the system will perform a rationality check on the size data entered by the user, and use mathematical models and algorithms to determine whether the size is within a reasonable range to avoid unreasonable size. If the size entered by the user does not meet the requirements, the system will pop up a prompt box to inform the user of the correct size range.

[0075] In the cigarette box design specification prompt function unit, a cigarette box design specification knowledge base is established to store laws, regulations, industry standards and specifications related to cigarette box packaging design (relevant regulations on tobacco advertising, location and size requirements of warning signs, safety requirements of packaging materials, etc.). During the sketch editing process, the system will monitor the user's design operation in real time. When the user's design may violate the relevant specifications (the warning sign is not in the right position, prohibited packaging materials are used, etc.), the system will pop up a prompt box in time to remind the user to make modifications. The prompt box will explain in detail the violated specification content and provide a link to the specification description document. The user can click the link to view the detailed specification content to ensure that the design meets the requirements. At the same time, the system will record the user's operation history that violates the specification, including the operation time, the violated specification clauses, etc., so as to query and trace when necessary.

[0076] The cigarette box template provides a functional unit, establishes a cigarette box template library, collects and organizes some common cigarette box packaging templates, including templates of different styles (simple style, luxury style, retro style, fashion style, etc.), different structures (flip-top, drawer type, hard box type, soft box type, etc.) and different uses (ordinary cigarette box, gift cigarette box, promotional cigarette box, etc.). In the sketch editing module, users can choose a suitable cigarette box template as the basis for design, and modify and innovate on the basis of the template. The system will classify and mark the templates, classify them according to dimensions such as style, structure, and purpose, and add detailed annotation information for each template, template name, applicable scene, feature description, etc., to facilitate users to find and select. At the same time, for each template, the system will provide detailed instructions and usage guidelines, including the design ideas of the template, the modifiable parts, and the application materials and colors, etc., to help users better use the template for design.

[0077] As a preferred solution of the present invention, the workflow of the remote interactive cigarette box packaging design system is as follows:

[0078] 1. The user (ordinary user or designer) logs in to the system through the user management module. During the login process, the system encrypts and verifies the username and password entered by the user. First, the password entered by the user is encrypted using an encryption algorithm (MD5 or SHA-256), and then compared with the encrypted user information stored in the database. The user's identity is determined based on the verification result, and the corresponding operation interface and function module are loaded. At the same time, the system will record the user's login history, including login time, login IP address and other information, so as to conduct security audits when necessary.

[0079] 2. Ordinary users can put forward the demand for cigarette box packaging design in the client cigarette box sketch editing module. First, users use the basic picture upload and delete function to upload pictures through advanced file upload interface technology, and perform format verification and size restrictions to ensure that the pictures meet the requirements before storing them in the database. Then use the cigarette box LOGO upload and delete function to upload LOGO pictures that meet the resolution and color mode requirements, and adjust them using the image editing library in the preview interface. Then upload the packaging structure sketch through the packaging structure upload and delete function, and use image recognition and intelligent analysis technology to extract and annotate features. Then use the material map upload and delete function to upload the material map, and operate it in the preview interface after color correction and other processing. Finally, select the cigarette box color through the color modification matching function, determine the color with the help of the color picker and custom color function, and update the sketch color display and database records in real time. During the editing process, users can communicate with designers in real time through the message interaction function. The real-time communication framework based on the WebSocket protocol ensures the real-time push and accurate display of messages, while limiting the number of words, verifying character encoding, and filtering sensitive words. Designers can view customer needs in this module and use their professional knowledge and skills to further edit and modify the sketch.

[0080] 3. The edited sketch can be virtually displayed in the single product cigarette box virtual display module. In this module, through the cigarette box spatial displacement and scaling function, the three-dimensional modeling and rendering technology and the physical simulation engine are used to realize the operation of the cigarette box in three-dimensional space, and the operation history is recorded. The LOGO mapping function uses high-precision image mapping technology to ensure the accurate fit and adaptive adjustment of the LOGO. The material mapping function simulates the real material effect by considering the physical properties of the material and the complex lighting model and texture mapping algorithm, and supports users to interactively change the material properties. The scene display function uses a variety of pre-built scenes and scene switching technology and environmental simulation technology to allow users to switch between different scenes and feel the real environment effect. After the user is satisfied with the upload and save model function, the design model is uploaded to the database or saved locally through data compression and encryption technology, and version management is performed at the same time. The preview function allows users to fully understand the design effect by setting multiple perspectives and high-definition rendering technology, and generates personalized preview settings.

[0081] 4. The database management module is responsible for storing all data in the system, including user information, sketches, models, etc. When users upload design models or perform other data operations, the database management module will store, associate and update the data. During the storage process, a high-performance database system is used to normalize and partition the data to ensure data integrity and performance. Association operations establish connections between data tables through foreign key constraints and optimized association query statements, and automatically maintain association relationships. Update operations follow transaction processing principles to ensure data consistency and record update history. The data analysis module will analyze the data in the database regularly or according to user needs, and use text analysis technology, image analysis technology, and data analysis models to extract valuable information to provide reference and decision-making basis for cigarette packaging design, user demand analysis, design trend analysis, and market feedback analysis, and dynamically update the analysis results.

[0082] 5. The cigarette box interactive design auxiliary module provides designers with auxiliary tools and functions throughout the design process. In the sketch editing stage, the cigarette box size standard reference function ensures that the design meets the size requirements by providing standard data and rationality checks. The cigarette box design specification prompt function monitors and prompts violations of specifications in real time. The cigarette box template provision function provides template selection and usage guidance. In the virtual display stage, these auxiliary functions can also provide designers with more references and inspiration, improve design quality, and ensure that the final design of the cigarette box packaging meets relevant standards and specifications, while meeting market demand and user preferences.

[0083] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present invention may be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention, which should all be included in the scope of the claims of the present invention.
