Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of supply chain management, and more specifically to an automated barcode generation and printing system. Background Art

[0002] In traditional barcode generation and printing systems, barcode generation usually relies on static information. This fixed nature makes barcodes easy to copy and forge, leading to an overabundance of counterfeit and shoddy products in the market, which damages the legitimate rights and interests of consumers and enterprises. In addition, these traditional systems often lack effective traceability mechanisms. When product quality problems occur or it is necessary to trace the production and circulation links, it is difficult to quickly locate and handle them, which undoubtedly increases the losses and risks of enterprises.

[0003] At the same time, traditional barcode systems also have obvious deficiencies in terms of user experience. Due to the lack of personalization and multi-platform support, users often have to face cumbersome steps and unfriendly interfaces when performing operations such as barcode generation and query, which greatly reduces the user experience and work efficiency. In addition, with the popularization of mobile devices and the Internet, users have higher and higher requirements for the convenience and real-time nature of barcode systems, while traditional systems often struggle to meet these needs.

[0004] Furthermore, traditional barcode systems also face challenges in data security and confidentiality. Due to the lack of effective data protection and management measures, the risk of data loss and leakage is relatively high, which not only threatens the information security of enterprises but may also bring serious legal consequences and economic losses to enterprises.

[0005] The information disclosed in this background art section is only intended to deepen the understanding of the overall background art of the present invention and should not be regarded as an admission or any form of implication that this information constitutes prior art already known to those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0006] Aiming at the defects existing in the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide an automated barcode generation and printing system, aiming to solve the deficiencies of traditional systems, improve anti-counterfeiting capabilities, traceability efficiency, user experience, management efficiency, and data security, and promote the compliance operation of enterprises.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is:

[0008] An automated barcode generation and printing system, characterized by comprising: a dynamic anti-counterfeiting information module, a barcode design and generation module, a data verification module, a printing control module, a data management and query module, a third-party template creation and management module, a permission management and security module, and a data analysis and reporting module;

[0009] A dynamic anti-counterfeiting information module, which is used to generate dynamic anti-counterfeiting information to enhance the security of barcodes;

[0010] A barcode design and generation module, which is used to generate barcodes based on a custom barcode template; and is used to embed dynamic anti-counterfeiting information into the barcodes to ensure the non-replicability and uniqueness of each barcode;

[0011] A data verification module, which verifies the data required for generating barcodes to ensure the accuracy and integrity of the data; the data required for generating barcodes includes dynamic anti-counterfeiting information;

[0012] A printing control module, which is used to control the barcode printing process and record the quantity of barcodes printed, the barcode usage, and the printer;

[0013] A data management and query module, which is used to store and query the generated barcode data;

[0014] A third-party template creation and management module, which is used to receive and store custom barcode templates input by third parties to improve the personalization and recognition of barcodes;

[0015] A permission management and security module, which is used to ensure the security and confidentiality of data through permission allocation and management;

[0016] A data analysis and reporting module, which is used to statistically analyze data such as barcode generation, usage, and traceability and generate corresponding reports.

[0017] Based on the above technical solutions, the dynamic anti-counterfeiting information is generated by using any one or part or all of the following technologies;

[0018] Generated by an encryption algorithm based on a timestamp. Each time a barcode is generated, a dynamic anti-counterfeiting information closely related to the current time is attached, and the dynamic anti-counterfeiting information is only valid within a preset time period;

[0019] Generated by a database query algorithm. The dynamic anti-counterfeiting information includes a first verification information and a second verification information. After the first verification information is scrambled, it is used as a part of the dynamic anti-counterfeiting information, and after the second verification information is scrambled, it is used as a part of the barcode. After parsing out the first verification information and the second verification information, it is valid if it matches the dynamic anti-counterfeiting information stored in the database;

[0020] Generated based on a hidden barcode. Each time a barcode is generated, an anti-counterfeiting code for anti-counterfeiting is synchronously generated, and a dynamic anti-counterfeiting information overlapping with the barcode is formed by using a covered hidden barcode, a hidden barcode processed by photochemistry, or a hidden barcode printed with invisible ink.

[0021] Based on the above technical solutions, embedding the dynamic anti-counterfeiting information into the barcode specifically includes:

[0022] Evaluate the coding capacity and redundancy space of the barcode to ensure that it can accommodate dynamic anti-counterfeiting information;

[0023] Embed the encoded anti-counterfeiting information into a specific position or data segment of the barcode;

[0024] Verify that the embedded barcode still complies with the barcode standard and can be correctly read by conventional barcode reading devices;

[0025] Test the barcode embedded with anti-counterfeiting information to verify its readability and anti-counterfeiting effect.

[0026] Based on the above technical solution, the verification of the data required to generate the barcode specifically includes:

[0027] Data source verification, only accepting information provided by trusted data sources;

[0028] Duplicate and format verification, avoiding duplicate information, ensuring the uniqueness of the data required to generate the barcode, and verifying the data according to the coding rules and format requirements of the barcode;

[0029] Integrity verification, verifying the integrity of the necessary information based on the coding rules to ensure that the barcode data contains all necessary information.

[0030] Based on the above technical solution, when the third-party template creation and management module receives a custom barcode template input by a third party, it verifies whether the barcode data is set to contain necessary information.

[0031] Based on the above technical solution, the barcode data that should contain necessary information is sequentially verified by the platform and manually reviewed.

[0032] Based on the above technical solution, the third-party template creation and management module can only receive a custom barcode template input by a third party after registering on the platform and completing the credit-granting process.

[0033] Based on the above technical solution, when a custom barcode template is released, the authentication method and application scope need to be specified.

[0034] Based on the above technical solution, the printing control module adopts a two-time printing technology. First, print the dynamic anti-counterfeiting information. After scanning and verifying the dynamic anti-counterfeiting information, it is only allowed to print the barcode again. After scanning and verifying again, the relevant information and records are stored in the third-party template creation and management module.

[0035] Based on the above technical solution, when the printing control module prints the barcode, it also generates and prints an activation code. After the activation code is verified, the corresponding barcode is activated, and the activation information and records are stored in the third-party template creation and management module.

[0036] The automatic barcode generation and printing system of the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0037] 1. By embedding dynamic anti-counterfeiting information, each barcode is unique and non-replicable, effectively preventing the circulation of counterfeit and shoddy products and protecting the legitimate rights and interests of consumers and enterprises.

[0038] 2. The system supports full traceability of barcodes, from production, circulation to use. Once a problem occurs, it can be quickly located and handled to reduce losses and risks.

[0039] 3. Third-party users can customize barcode templates to improve brand personalization and recognition; at the same time, the system provides a friendly user interaction interface and multi-platform support to facilitate users to perform barcode generation, query and other operations.

[0040] 4. The system automatically processes the generation, printing, and usage records of barcodes, reducing manual intervention and improving work efficiency. At the same time, through data analysis and reporting functions, it provides data support for enterprise management and optimizes decision-making processes.

[0041] 5. The system ensures the security and confidentiality of data through authority allocation and management; at the same time, it stores and backs up data such as barcode generation, use, and traceability to prevent data loss and leakage.

[0042] 6. Third-party users can blacklist illegal or abandoned barcodes to prevent products containing such barcodes from being circulated or used, which helps companies comply with relevant laws and regulations and promote compliant operations.

[0043] The automated barcode generation and printing system of the present invention realizes the automatic generation, printing and management of barcodes by introducing functions such as dynamic anti-counterfeiting information embedding, full-process traceability, and third-party template creation and management. It also enhances the anti-counterfeiting ability and traceability function of barcodes, and provides third-party users and corporate users with safer, more convenient and efficient barcode services.

[0044] The present invention has the following accompanying drawings:

[0045] The accompanying drawings are used to better understand the present invention and do not constitute an improper limitation of the present invention.

[0046] Figure 1 System architecture diagram of Embodiment 1 of the automated barcode generation and printing system of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0047] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The detailed description is made in connection with exemplary embodiments of the present invention, including various details of the embodiments of the present invention to facilitate understanding, which should be considered merely exemplary. Therefore, those skilled in the art should recognize that various changes and modifications can be made to the embodiments described herein without departing from the scope and spirit of the present invention. Similarly, for the sake of clarity and conciseness, the description of well-known functions and structures is omitted below.

[0048] As Figure 1 shown, the automated barcode generation and printing system of the present invention includes: a dynamic anti-counterfeiting information module, a barcode design and generation module, a data verification module, a printing control module, a data management and query module, a third-party template creation and management module, a permission management and security module, and a data analysis and reporting module;

[0049] The dynamic anti-counterfeiting information module is used to generate dynamic anti-counterfeiting information to enhance the security of barcodes; this module is the key to system security, ensuring that each barcode has a unique anti-counterfeiting identifier;

[0050] The barcode design and generation module is used to generate barcodes based on custom barcode templates; it is used to embed dynamic anti-counterfeiting information into barcodes to ensure the non-replicability and uniqueness of each barcode;

[0051] The data verification module verifies the data required for generating barcodes to ensure the accuracy and integrity of the data; the data required for generating barcodes includes dynamic anti-counterfeiting information;

[0052] The printing control module is used to control the barcode printing process and record the number of barcodes printed, the barcode usage, and the printer;

[0053] The data management and query module is used to store and query the generated barcode data;

[0054] The third-party template creation and management module is used to receive and store custom barcode templates input by third parties to improve the personalization and recognition of barcodes;

[0055] The permission management and security module is used to ensure the security and confidentiality of data through permission allocation and management;

[0056] The data analysis and reporting module is used to statistically analyze data such as barcode generation, usage, and traceability and generate corresponding reports.

[0057] This embodiment covers the entire process from barcode generation to printing, management, security, and analysis. The data interaction between modules is mainly achieved through the internal data bus or API interfaces of the system. For example, the barcode design and generation module stores the template information defined by the user in the system and retrieves the template information from the system when generating barcodes; after the data verification module verifies the input data, it sends the verification result to the barcode design and generation module; the generated barcode information is sent to the printing control module for printing; at the same time, all generated barcode data is stored in the data management and query module for users to query and perform statistical analysis.

[0058] Through this modular and data interaction design, the automated barcode generation and printing system realizes efficient, secure, and convenient barcode generation and printing functions, meeting the diverse needs of enterprises.

[0059] This embodiment has made significant improvements and optimizations in multiple aspects:

[0060] Conventional barcode systems usually only contain static information, such as product numbers, production dates, etc. These information are easily copied and forged. Through the dynamic anti-counterfeiting information module, this invention generates anti-counterfeiting information with timeliness and randomness and embeds it into the barcode, significantly improving the anti-counterfeiting ability of the barcode.

[0061] Conventional barcode systems often rely on preset barcode templates, with limited user-defined space. Through the barcode design and generation module, this invention supports generating barcodes based on custom barcode templates and allows dynamic anti-counterfeiting information to be embedded in them, improving the personalization level of the barcode, increasing the recognition and aesthetics of the barcode.

[0062] Conventional barcode systems lack a strict data verification mechanism during data input and generation processes. Through the data verification module, this invention strictly verifies the data required for generating barcodes to ensure the accuracy and integrity of the data.

[0063] Based on the above technical solutions, the dynamic anti-counterfeiting information is generated by using any one or part or all of the following technologies;

[0064] Generated by an encryption algorithm based on a timestamp. Each time a barcode is generated, it is attached with a dynamic anti-counterfeiting information closely related to the current time, and the dynamic anti-counterfeiting information is only valid within a preset time period;

[0065] Generated by a database query algorithm. The dynamic anti-counterfeiting information includes a first verification information and a second verification information. The first verification information is scrambled and used as part of the dynamic anti-counterfeiting information, and the second verification information is scrambled and used as part of the barcode. After parsing out the first verification information and the second verification information, it is valid if it matches the dynamic anti-counterfeiting information retained in the database;

[0066] Based on the generation of invisible barcodes, each time a barcode is generated, an anti-counterfeiting code for anti-counterfeiting is synchronously generated. A dynamic anti-counterfeiting information that overlaps with the barcode is formed by using a covered invisible barcode, an invisible barcode processed by photochemistry, or an invisible barcode printed with invisible ink.

[0067] This embodiment aims to improve the anti-counterfeiting ability. The introduction of dynamic anti-counterfeiting information and the application of multiple generation methods have significantly enhanced the security of the entire barcode generation and printing system, and greatly increased the difficulty of forging barcodes.

[0068] Different generation methods are suitable for different application scenarios and requirements. For example, an encryption algorithm based on a timestamp may be more suitable for barcodes that need to be updated and verified frequently, while a generation method based on a database query algorithm may be more suitable for barcodes that require high security and reliability. The generation method of invisible barcodes may be more suitable for occasions that require concealed anti-counterfeiting.

[0069] Multiple generation methods of dynamic anti-counterfeiting information make the system more flexible. Enterprises can choose the most suitable generation method according to their own needs and actual situations, or combine multiple generation methods to improve the anti-counterfeiting ability and security of barcodes.

[0070] Based on the above technical solution, embedding the dynamic anti-counterfeiting information into the barcode specifically includes:

[0071] Evaluate the coding capacity and redundancy space of the barcode to ensure that it can accommodate the dynamic anti-counterfeiting information; through the evaluation of the coding capacity and redundancy space of the barcode, ensure that after embedding the dynamic anti-counterfeiting information, the barcode can still maintain its original coding function, such as accurate representation of commodity information, fast barcode scanning and recognition, etc.;

[0072] Embed the encoded anti-counterfeiting information into a specific position or data segment of the barcode; embed the encoded anti-counterfeiting information into a specific position or data segment of the barcode, so that the anti-counterfeiting information is closely combined with the barcode and is not easily separated or tampered with;

[0073] Verify that the embedded barcode still complies with the barcode standard and can be correctly read by a conventional barcode reading device; verifying whether the embedded barcode complies with the barcode standard is the key to ensuring that the barcode can be correctly read by a conventional barcode reading device. Only barcodes that meet the standard can achieve consistent recognition effects on different brands and models of barcode scanning devices, thus ensuring the universality and compatibility of barcode applications;

[0074] Test the barcode after embedding the anti-counterfeiting information to verify its readability and anti-counterfeiting effect; through testing, problems that may exist in the barcode in terms of printing, recognition, anti-counterfeiting, etc. can be discovered and solved in a timely manner to ensure the stability and reliability of the barcode in actual applications.

[0075] When determining the specific location or data segment for embedding dynamic anti-counterfeiting information into a barcode, multiple factors need to be considered to ensure that the embedded anti-counterfeiting information does not affect the normal function of the barcode and can effectively enhance the anti-counterfeiting ability of the barcode. For example:

[0076] It is necessary to be familiar with the specifications and requirements of the barcode standards used (such as EAN-13, UPC-A, Code 39, etc.), including barcode encoding rules, data segment division, check digit settings, etc.;

[0077] According to the barcode standard, conduct a detailed analysis of the barcode structure to determine which positions or data segments can be used for embedding anti-counterfeiting information;

[0078] According to the barcode standard and data content, calculate the encoding capacity of the barcode, that is, the maximum amount of data that the barcode can represent;

[0079] In the encoding capacity of the barcode, in addition to the necessary data segments, there are also some redundant spaces, which can be used for embedding anti-counterfeiting information without affecting the normal function of the barcode;

[0080] After analyzing the barcode structure and encoding capacity, one or more suitable positions or data segments can be selected to embed anti-counterfeiting information;

[0081] The embedding method can be to directly replace certain data bits in the barcode or to add an additional data segment at the end of the barcode; the specific choice of which method depends on the barcode standard and the requirements of the anti-counterfeiting information;

[0082] Use a conventional barcode reading device to test the barcode after embedding anti-counterfeiting information and verify its readability.

[0083] Based on the above technical solution, the verification of the data required to generate the barcode specifically includes:

[0084] Data source verification, only accepting information provided by trusted data sources; data source verification ensures that only information from trusted data sources will be accepted for generating barcodes, which can effectively prevent incorrect or false information from being introduced into the barcode system, thereby improving the accuracy of barcode data;

[0085] Duplicate and format verification, avoiding duplicate information, ensuring the uniqueness of the data required to generate the barcode, and verifying the data according to the encoding rules and format requirements of the barcode; such as checking whether the data length, character type, check digit, etc. meet the standards; duplicate and format verification prevents the occurrence of duplicate barcodes in the barcode system by avoiding duplicate information and ensuring the uniqueness of the data; at the same time, verifying the data according to the encoding rules and format requirements of the barcode, such as checking whether the data length, character type, check digit, etc. meet the standards, further ensures the correctness and compliance of the barcode data;

[0086] Integrity verification: Verify the integrity of necessary information based on coding rules to ensure that barcode data contains all necessary information. Integrity verification verifies the integrity of necessary information based on coding rules to ensure that barcode data contains all necessary information, avoiding problems caused by missing information during barcode generation or use, such as barcode scanning failure, information unrecognizability, etc.

[0087] Based on the above technical solution, when the third-party template creation and management module receives a custom barcode template input by a third party, it checks whether it is set that the barcode data should contain necessary information. By checking whether necessary information is set in the custom barcode template, it can be ensured that the generated barcode data contains all key and necessary content, avoiding barcode invalidation or recognition errors caused by missing information, thereby improving the usability and accuracy of barcodes.

[0088] The flexibility and personalization of custom barcode templates provide enterprises with more choices and creative space. However, if necessary information settings are missing in the template, it may affect the actual application effect of the barcode. Therefore, performing this check can ensure the compliance and applicability of the template, improving the overall quality of barcode applications. Additionally, by checking whether necessary information is set in the template and conducting strict review and management of it, the security and controllability of the system can be enhanced, potential security risks reduced, and standardization and normalization promoted.

[0089] Based on the above technical solution, the barcode data should contain necessary information and go through platform verification and manual review in sequence. Through the dual guarantee of platform verification and manual review, the standardization and normalization of barcode data can be promoted. Through the dual guarantee of platform verification and manual review, data errors can be discovered and corrected in a timely manner, enhancing the stability and reliability of the system.

[0090] Platform verification preliminarily screens and verifies barcode data through automated means, capable of quickly identifying and excluding a large number of obviously incorrect or non-compliant data. Manual review, as the second line of defense, conducts a more detailed and in-depth review of the data after platform verification to ensure the accuracy and integrity of the data. This dual verification mechanism greatly improves the reliability of barcode data.

[0091] Based on the above technical solution, the third-party template creation and management module can only receive a custom barcode template input by a third party after registering on the platform and completing the credit granting process. Through this process, the platform and the third party can establish a closer and more stable cooperative relationship, jointly promoting the innovation and development of barcode technology.

[0092] Through the registration and credit-granting processes, the platform can manage and guide third parties in an orderly manner to ensure that the templates they provide conform to the overall architecture and development direction of the system; it can collect and verify relevant information such as the identity information and enterprise qualifications of third parties, thereby ensuring their legitimate business qualifications and identity backgrounds; the platform can uniformly manage and maintain the templates provided by third parties to ensure their compatibility and stability with the barcode system.

[0093] Based on the above technical solutions, when custom barcode templates are released, the authentication method and application scope need to be specified.

[0094] By specifying the authentication method, it can be ensured that only authorized users or systems can access and use custom barcode templates, thus preventing data leakage and illegal use. The authentication method can include various methods such as username and password authentication, digital certificate authentication, and biometric authentication, which are selected according to actual needs and security levels to improve data security.

[0095] Specifying the application scope can clarify the usage scenarios and restrictive conditions of custom barcode templates, avoiding misuse or abuse of the templates. The application scope can include specific product lines, sales channels, customer groups, etc., which are set according to business needs to ensure the pertinence and effectiveness of the templates.

[0096] The specific details of specifying the authentication method and application scope when custom barcode templates are released are of great significance in ensuring data security, clarifying the application scope, enhancing system flexibility, facilitating management and maintenance, enhancing user experience, and promoting the innovation and development of barcode technology.

[0097] Based on the above technical solutions, the printing control module adopts a two-stage printing technology. First, dynamic anti-counterfeiting information is printed. After scanning and verifying the dynamic anti-counterfeiting information and passing the verification, only then is it allowed to print the barcode again. After scanning the code again and passing the verification, the relevant information and records are stored in the third-party template creation and management module.

[0098] By first printing and verifying the dynamic anti-counterfeiting information, it can be ensured that the barcode is not tampered with or forged during the printing process; the two-stage printing technology allows printing the barcode again only after the first printing and verification of the dynamic anti-counterfeiting information, which can effectively avoid printing errors caused by equipment failures, operation mistakes, etc., and improve the accuracy and reliability of printing.

[0099] This embodiment divides the printing process into two steps: first, print and verify the dynamic anti-counterfeiting information, and then print the barcode. During the two-stage printing process, the relevant information and records will be stored in the third-party template creation and management module, which helps to achieve centralized management and secure storage of data, facilitating subsequent data analysis and traceability.

[0100] On the basis of the above technical solution, when the printing control module prints a barcode, it also generates and prints an activation code. Only after the activation code is verified can the corresponding barcode be activated, and the activation information and records are stored in the third-party template creation and management module.

[0101] In this embodiment, by introducing the activation code mechanism, the security of the barcode is increased. Even if the barcode is illegally obtained, it cannot be activated and used without the correct activation code for verification, thus effectively preventing unauthorized access and use. The verification process of the activation code can ensure the legality of the barcode. Only barcodes that have been authorized and verified can be activated, which helps prevent the circulation of counterfeit and shoddy products and protects the rights and interests of enterprises and consumers. Storing the activation information and records in the third-party template creation and management module can realize the traceability of the barcode usage. This helps enterprises quickly locate and solve problems when issues arise, improving the efficiency and accuracy of management.

[0102] The content not described in detail in this specification belongs to the prior art well-known to those skilled in the art.

[0103] The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention, and the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. Any equivalent modification or change made by those skilled in the art according to the disclosure of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope recorded in the claims.
