[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a data generating device that generates data for manufacturing a packaging lid, a packaging lid manufacturing system having the data generating device, and a packaging lid manufacturing method. [Background technology]

[0002] A technique for manufacturing a lid for a packaging container by punching out a sheet-like raw material is known. For example, the tabbed lid described in Patent Document 1 is manufactured by punching out a sheet-like laminate having a plurality of layers. Specifically, the tabbed lid described in Patent Document 1 is manufactured by subjecting a laminate having a polyethylene terephthalate film layer on one side of an aluminum foil via an adhesive layer and a heat seal layer on the other side of the aluminum foil to uneven processing, and cutting out or punching out a part from the unevenly shaped laminate.

[0003] Furthermore, Patent Document 1 discloses that in the uneven processing, various patterns, letters, figures, or other shapes are applied. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0046] Each embodiment will be described below with reference to the drawings. In each drawing, the same parts are given the same reference numerals, and the description of the same parts will not be repeated. Note that the dimensions of the components in each drawing do not faithfully represent the actual dimensions of the components and the dimensional ratios of each component.

[0047] [Embodiment 1] <Configuration of data generating device 21> A data generating device 21 according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figs. 1 to 4. Fig. 1 is a functional block diagram showing an outline of functions of the data generating device 21 according to the first embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 2 is a diagram showing an example of design information. Fig. 3 is a diagram showing an example of shape information. Fig. 4 is a plan view showing the appearance of a packaging lid 60 as viewed from the front.

[0048] The data generating device 21 shown in Fig. 1 is a device that generates data for manufacturing a packaging lid 60 as shown in Fig. 4. The data generating device 21 can be realized by an information processing terminal such as a mobile phone, a smartphone, a notebook personal computer (hereinafter referred to as "PC"), a desktop PC, a tablet terminal, or a kiosk terminal. The data generating device 21 may be included in the packaging lid manufacturing system 1 described later. The data generating device 21 has a memory 211 and a processor 212.

[0049] The memory 211 is a storage device that stores data. The memory 211 stores at least one of the design information DT10 and the shape information DT20.

[0050] As shown in FIG. 2, the design information DT10 is information related to a design to be drawn on the packaging lid 60, and includes at least one of pattern information DT11 and character information DT12.

[0051] The pattern information DT11 is, for example, a figure showing an animal's face. The dashed lines in Fig. 2 indicate the outer edge of the design. The design information DT10 includes information specifying not only the shape of the figure but also the color, the three-dimensional shape such as projections and recesses.

[0052] The character information DT12 is, for example, the alphabet characters and symbols of "THANKS!". The design information DT10 includes character information input as character data. The character information includes information such as the font, format, size, color, decoration, and orientation of the characters. The character information may include data such as 3D word art.

[0053] The shape information DT20 is shape information related to the shape of the packaging lid 60. As illustrated in FIG. 3, the shape information DT20 includes information related to the outer edge shape DT21 of the packaging lid 60. The two-dot chain line illustrated in FIG. 3 indicates the shape of the opening OP of the packaging container to which the packaging lid 60 is attached. The outer edge shape DT21 of the packaging lid 60 includes information related to a tab portion DT22 for holding the packaging lid 60 with fingers when opening the packaging lid 60. The tab portion DT22 is shape information that protrudes outward from the shape of the opening OP to hold the packaging lid 60 with fingers. In addition, the outer edge shape DT21 of the packaging lid 60 includes information related to a protrusion portion DT23 corresponding to the pattern information DT11 illustrated in FIG. 2. The protrusion portion DT23 is shape information that protrudes outward from the shape of the opening OP according to the shape of the animal's ears in the pattern information DT11.

[0054] The lid production information DT90 is information for operating the packaging lid production device 31 that produces the packaging lid 60. The lid production information DT90 is information generated based on at least the shape information DT20 out of the design information DT10 and the shape information DT20.

[0055] The processor 212 generates, for example, lid manufacturing information DT90 including the design information DT10 and the shape information DT20. The generation of the lid manufacturing information DT90 may include a process of converting the format of input data for the packaging lid manufacturing device 31.

[0056] The processor 212 is one or more arithmetic units capable of executing programs and reading data from the memory 211. The processor 212 executes programs, whereby various types of processing in the data generating device 21 are performed.

[0057] The processor 212 is capable of executing the output processes of the following methods (A1) to (A3).

[0058] (A1) When design information DT10 is stored in the memory 211 The processor 212 generates shape information DT20 of the packaging lid 60 to which a design has been applied, based on the design information DT10 stored in the memory 211, and outputs lid manufacturing information DT90 for manufacturing the packaging lid 60, based on the design information DT10 and the shape information DT20. As an example, the processor 212 may output the shape information DT20 of the packaging lid 60 of an appropriate size, based on the outer edge of a figure combining the pattern information DT11 and character information DT12 included in the design information DT10.

[0059] As another example, the processor 212 may select a shape from a plurality of pieces of pre-set shape information into which a figure combining the pattern information DT11 and the character information DT12 included in the design information DT10 can fit, and output the shape information DT20 of the packaging lid 60. The plurality of pieces of shape information may be, for example, large, medium, and small circles, curved shapes, or polygons. In this way, even if only the design information DT10 is stored in the memory 211, the processor 212 can complement the information necessary for manufacturing the lid based on the design information DT10, and output the lid manufacturing information DT90 including the design information DT10 and the shape information DT20.

[0060] (A2) When shape information DT20 is stored in memory 211 The processor 212 outputs lid manufacturing information DT90 for manufacturing the packaging lid 60 based on the shape information DT20 stored in the memory 211. In this case, the processor 212 outputs lid manufacturing information DT90 that does not include the design information DT10. In other words, the processor 212 outputs plain lid manufacturing information DT90 that has a shape based on the shape information DT20 and has no patterns, letters, etc. on the surface of the lid. In this way, the processor 212 can output lid manufacturing information DT90 even when only the shape information DT20 is stored in the memory 211.

[0061] (A3) When both the design information DT10 and the shape information DT20 are stored in the memory 211 The processor 212 outputs lid manufacturing information DT90 for manufacturing the packaging lid 60 based on the design information DT10 and shape information DT20 stored in the memory 211. As an example, the processor 212 generates lid manufacturing information DT90 including design information DT10 in which the size, position, and direction of a figure combining the pattern information DT11 and character information DT12 included in the design information DT10 has been adjusted so that the figure combining the pattern information DT11 and character information DT12 included in the design information DT10 is included within a shape determined based on the shape information DT20.

[0062] As another example, the processor 212 may generate lid manufacturing information DT90 including shape information DT20 adjusted so that part of the outer edge of a figure combining the pattern information DT11 and character information DT12 included in the design information DT10 constitutes part of the outer edge of the lid. In this way, even if the design information DT10 and the shape information DT20 are stored in the memory 211, the processor 212 can adjust the design information DT10 and the shape information DT20 so that they are consistent as a packaging lid 60, and output lid manufacturing information DT90 including appropriate design information DT10 and shape information DT20.

[0063] When both design information DT10 and shape information DT20 are stored in memory 211, processor 212 may execute either output processing (A1) or (A2) in response to a user's input operation, etc., instead of output processing (A3).

[0064] The data generating device 21 thus configured can generate lid manufacturing information DT90 for the packaging lid 60 based on at least one of the design information DT10 for the packaging lid 60 and the shape information DT20 for the packaging lid 60. The data generating device 21 generates, for example, lid manufacturing information DT90 for a lid to which at least one of the pattern information DT11 or character information DT12 included in the design information DT10 is added and which has information related to a shape that follows at least one of the outer edge shapes of the pattern information DT11 or character information DT12, lid manufacturing information DT90 having an arbitrary shape included in the shape information DT20, lid manufacturing information DT90 in which the design information DT10 is added to the shape information DT20, and lid manufacturing information DT90 in which the shape information DT20 is added to the design information DT10. In other words, the data generating device 21 generates lid manufacturing information DT90 that fulfills the function of the packaging lid 60 while supplementing information necessary for manufacturing the packaging lid 60 based on arbitrary information that the user considers important. Therefore, it is possible to generate lid manufacturing information DT90 having a design according to the preferences of various users.

[0065] [Modification 1 of the first embodiment] A first modified example of the data generating device 21 according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figs. 5 to 9. Fig. 5 is a functional block diagram showing an outline of functions of the data generating device 21A according to the first modified example of the first embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 6 is an example of the opening information DT30 and the design information DT10 stored in the memory 211. Fig. 7 is a diagram showing a step of determining a circle K11 in the process of generating the shape information DT20. Fig. 8 is a diagram showing a step of determining an additional region K13 and a tab region K12 in the process of generating the shape information DT20. Fig. 9 is a diagram showing the shape information DT20 generated by the process of generating the shape information DT20.

[0066] The data generating device 21A according to the first modification differs from the data generating device 21 according to the first embodiment in that the data generating device 21A generates lid manufacturing information DT90 based on opening information DT30.

[0067] As shown in FIG. 5, the memory 211 stores design information DT10, shape information DT20, and opening information DT30.

[0068] The opening information DT30 is information about the shape of an opening OP (see FIG. 9) of a packaging container to which the packaging lid 60 is attached.

[0069] The processor 212 is capable of executing the output processes of the following methods (B1) to (B4).

[0070] (B1) When the opening information DT30 is stored in the memory 211 The processor 212 outputs the lid manufacturing information DT90 based on the opening information DT30 stored in the memory 211. For example, the processor 212 outputs the lid manufacturing information DT90 of the packaging lid 60 including the shape of the opening OP indicated by the opening information DT30. That is, the processor 212 outputs the lid manufacturing information DT90 of the packaging lid 60 that can cover all the openings OP indicated by the opening information DT30 and seal the packaging container. The processor 212 generates shape information DT20 related to the shape of the packaging lid 60 including the shape of the opening OP indicated by the opening information DT30, and further outputs the lid manufacturing information DT90 based on the generated shape information DT20. In addition, as another example, the processor 212 may select a shape that fits the shape of the opening OP indicated by the opening information DT30 from a plurality of shape information set in advance, and output it as the shape information DT20 of the packaging lid 60.

[0071] (B2) When two pieces of information, the opening information DT30 and the shape information DT20, are stored in the memory 211 The processor 212 outputs the lid manufacturing information DT90 based on the opening information DT30 and the shape information DT20 stored in the memory 211. That is, in this case, the processor 212 outputs the lid manufacturing information DT90 that does not include the design information DT10. That is, the processor 212 outputs the lid manufacturing information DT90 that has a shape that can cover the opening OP of the packaging container and has no pattern, character, or the like on the surface of the lid based on the opening information DT30 and the shape information DT20. In this way, the processor 212 can output the lid manufacturing information DT90 even when only the opening information DT30 and the shape information DT20 are stored in the memory 211.

[0072] (B3) When two pieces of information, opening information DT30 and design information DT10, are stored in the memory 211 The processor 212 outputs the lid manufacturing information DT90 based on the opening information DT30 and the design information DT10 stored in the memory 211. The processor 212 provisionally generates the shape information DT20 of the packaging lid 60 based on the outer edge of the figure combining the pattern information DT11 and the character information DT12 included in the design information DT10 as described in (A1) above.

[0073] The processor 212 judges whether the opening OP indicated by the opening information DT30 fits within the shape of the packaging lid 60 indicated by the provisionally generated shape information DT20. If the opening OP fits within the shape information DT20 of the provisionally generated packaging lid 60, the processor 212 determines the shape information DT20 of the provisionally generated packaging lid 60 as the shape information DT20 of the formal packaging lid 60. If the opening OP does not fit within the shape information DT20 of the provisionally generated packaging lid 60, the processor 212 adjusts the shape information DT20 of the provisionally generated packaging lid 60 so that the opening OP fits. The processor 212 outputs the lid manufacturing information DT90 based on the opening information DT30 and the design information DT10, which has a shape that can cover the opening OP of the packaging container and has a pattern, characters, etc. on the surface of the lid. In this way, the processor 212 can output the lid manufacturing information DT90 even if only the opening information DT30 and the design information DT10 are stored in the memory 211.

[0074] (B4) When three pieces of information, opening information DT30, design information DT10, and shape information DT20, are stored in the memory 211 The processor 212 outputs lid manufacturing information DT90 based on the opening information DT30, design information DT10, and shape information DT20 stored in the memory 211. The processor 212 outputs lid manufacturing information DT90 of an arbitrary shape that has a shape capable of covering the opening OP of the packaging container and has a pattern, character, or the like on the surface of the lid, based on the opening information DT30, design information DT10, and shape information DT20. In this way, when only the opening information DT30 and design information DT10 are stored in the memory 211, the processor 212 can output lid manufacturing information DT90 including all information.

[0075] (Specific example of modified example 1) Next, generation of lid manufacturing information DT90 by the processor 212 in a case where the memory 211 of the data generating device 21A stores two pieces of information, the opening information DT30 and the design information DT10 (above (B3)) will be described.

[0076] 6, the processor 212 provisionally generates shape information of the packaging lid 60 based on the outer edge of a figure combining the pattern information DT11 and character information DT12 included in the design information DT10. A part of the shape of the opening OP of the packaging container indicated by the opening information DT30 extends beyond the shape of the packaging lid 60 indicated by the provisionally generated shape information. Therefore, the processor 212 determines that the opening OP indicated by the opening information DT30 does not fit within the shape of the packaging lid 60 indicated by the provisional shape information. In other words, the packaging lid 60 based on the provisionally generated shape information cannot seal the opening OP of the packaging container.

[0077] 7, the processor 212 adjusts the shape information of the provisional packaging lid 60 so that the opening OP fits in. The processor 212 calculates the diameter W2 of the circle K11 so that the first direction width X1 of the design information DT11 fits in. A part of the design information DT11 protrudes from the circle K11.

[0078] 8, the processor 212 calculates an additional area K13 that includes the protruding portion DT111 of the pattern information DT11 that protrudes from the circle K11. The processor 212 may select the additional area K13 from shapes that are registered in advance as shapes that can be processed, or may calculate the contour of the additional area K13 according to the shape of the protruding portion DT111.

[0079] Furthermore, the processor 212 calculates a tab region K12 for forming the tab portion DT22.

[0080] 9, the processor 212 generates shape information DT20 of a shape into which a figure obtained by combining the pattern information DT11 and the character information DT12 included in the design information DT10 fits, based on the circle K11, tab region K12, and additional region K13 calculated in this way. Furthermore, the processor 212 generates lid manufacturing information DT90 including the design information DT10 and the shape information DT20.

[0081] According to the above-mentioned configuration, it is possible to generate the lid manufacturing information DT90 for manufacturing the packaging lid 60 according to the shape of the opening OP of the packaging container while considering the design and shape of the packaging lid 60. The data generating device 21A generates, for example, the lid manufacturing information DT90 of a lid having a shape capable of covering the opening OP of the packaging container using the packaging lid 60, the lid manufacturing information DT90 of a lid having at least one of the pattern information DT11 and the character information DT12 included in the design information DT10 and having a shape that follows the outline of at least one of the pattern or character and is capable of covering the opening OP of the packaging container to be used, and the lid manufacturing information DT90 of a lid having an arbitrary shape included in the shape information DT20 and a shape that can cover the opening OP of the packaging container. In other words, the data generating device 21A generates the lid manufacturing information DT90 of a lid that can cover the packaging container to be used based on arbitrary information that the user considers important. Therefore, it is possible to generate the lid manufacturing information DT90 having a design according to the preferences of various users while maintaining the function as a lid that seals the packaging container.

[0082] (Other examples of modification example 1) The processor 212 may calculate the diameter of a circle that fits the second direction width Y1 perpendicular to the first direction width X1 of the design information DT11. In this case, the processor 212 can generate the shape information DT20 without forming the additional region K13. In addition, the packaging lid 60 based on the shape information DT20 may not form the tab region K12 if the portion extending radially outward from the opening OP of the packaging container can be grasped by hand.

[0083] Furthermore, when the pattern information DT11 or the text information DT12 protrudes from the shape of the packaging lid 60 capable of covering the opening OP contained in the shape information DT20 provisionally generated based on the opening OP of the packaging container, the processor 212 may reduce the pattern information DT11 or the text information DT12 so that the pattern information DT11 or the text information DT12 fits within the opening OP. Furthermore, the processor 212 may enlarge or reduce the pattern information DT11 or the text information DT12 according to a magnification ratio designated by the user.

[0084] [Modification 2 of the first embodiment] A second modification of the data generating device 21 according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Fig. 10 to Fig. 12. Fig. 10 is a functional block diagram showing a schematic function of a data generating device 21B according to the second modification of the first embodiment of the present invention.

[0085] The data generating device 21B according to the second modification differs from the data generating device 21 according to the first embodiment in that it generates lid production information DT90 further based on type information DT40 indicating the type of packaging lid.

[0086] 10, the memory 211 further stores type information DT40. The type information DT40 is information indicating the type of the packaging lid 60. The type refers to the configuration of each layer in the laminated structure, the presence or absence of various functions such as light blocking properties, waterproof properties, airtightness, gas barrier properties, transparency, or shape retention, or various performances such as environmental performance and printing performance, or the size standard of the packaging lid 60 such as large, medium, or small, the presence or absence of a tab portion, etc.

[0087] The processor 212 outputs the lid production information DT90 further based on the type information DT40 stored in the memory 211.

[0088] (Specific example of modified example 2) An example of the layered structure of the packaging lid 60 will be described with reference to Fig. 11. Fig. 11 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of the XXI-XXI line in Fig. 4, showing an example of the layered structure of the packaging lid 60. The layered structure of the packaging lid 60 shown in Fig. 11 is, for example, a "standard type" layered structure.

[0089] The packaging lid 60 shown as an example in FIG. 11 has, from the back side to which the packaging container is attached, an adhesive layer 61, a resin layer 62, a barrier layer 63, a resin layer 64, and a surface base material layer 65 in that order from the back side to the front side.

[0090] The adhesive layer 61 realizes an adhesive function for attaching the packaging lid 60 to the packaging container. The adhesive layer 61 can be any known adhesive without any particular limitation. Examples of adhesives used for the adhesive layer 61 include solvent-based adhesives, solventless adhesives, hot melt adhesives, and emulsion adhesives. It is more preferable to use a hot melt adhesive as the adhesive. This allows the packaging lid 60 to have heat sealability. Therefore, the packaging lid 60 and the packaging container can be bonded by heating the adhesive layer 61 of the packaging lid 60 with an iron or the like while in contact with the opening OP of the packaging container. Note that an adhesive layer may be formed instead of the adhesive layer 61.

[0091] The resin layers 62 and 64 are laminated on one side and the other side, respectively, of the barrier layer 63. Any known resin can be used without any particular limitation as the resin layers 62 and 64. Examples of the resin include polyester-based resins such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyolefin-based resins such as polypropylene or polyethylene, nylon, cellophane, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and the like.

[0092] The barrier layer 63 is a layer having a function of blocking light, etc. As the barrier layer 63, a metal foil such as an aluminum foil can be used.

[0093] The surface substrate layer 65 is a layer on which a design including a pattern or letters is printed. The surface substrate layer 65 is not particularly limited, and any known substrate can be used. Examples of the substrate include paper, metal foil, and resin film. Examples of the paper include coated paper, fine paper, and glassine paper. The surface substrate layer 65 may be coated with a general-purpose anchor coating agent.

[0094] The thickness of the packaging lid 60 is, for example, 100 to 200 μm, and the basis weight is, for example, 100 to 200 g / m 2 It is.

[0095] As information representing such a laminated structure, type information DT40 of "standard type" is stored in memory 211.

[0096] Another example of the layered structure of the packaging lid 60 will be described with reference to Fig. 12. Fig. 12 is an enlarged cross-sectional view corresponding to Fig. 11, showing another example of the layered structure of the packaging lid 60.

[0097] The packaging lid 60 shown in Fig. 12 as another example is the packaging lid 60 shown in Fig. 11 as an example, and further includes a waterproof layer 66 on the front side. In other words, the layered structure of the packaging lid 60 shown in Fig. 12 is a "waterproof type" layered structure.

[0098] The waterproof layer 66 can be formed, for example, by attaching a PET polyester resin or a polypropylene tack sheet to one side of the surface base material layer 65. The waterproof layer 66 may also be formed by applying a waterproof varnish using a printing device.

[0099] As information representing such a laminated structure, type information DT40 of "waterproof type" is stored in memory 211.

[0100] The processor 212 generates lid production information DT90 including type information DT40 indicating whether the packaging lid 60 should be produced as a "standard type" or a "waterproof type".

[0101] According to the above-mentioned configuration, it is possible to generate data that specifies the type of the packaging lid 60. Therefore, it is possible to generate the lid production information DT90 for producing the packaging lid 60 according to the purpose.

[0102] [Modification 3 of embodiment 1] A third modification of the data generating device 21 according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Fig. 13 and Fig. 14. Fig. 13 is a functional block diagram showing an outline of functions of a data generating device 21C according to the third modification of the first embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 14 shows an example of the design information DT10, the shape information DT20, and the window information DT50 stored in the memory 211.

[0103] The data generating device 21C according to the third modification differs from the data generating device 21 according to the first embodiment in that it further generates lid manufacturing information DT90 based on window information DT50.

[0104] The memory 211 further stores window information DT50 shown in Fig. 14. The window information DT50 is information related to the shape, position, size, etc. of the opening window in the packaging lid 60. The opening window includes an opening penetrating the packaging lid 60, a portion formed by a perforation that can open a part of the packaging lid 60 in a predetermined shape, an opening covered with a transparent resin film, etc. The opening covered with a transparent resin film, etc. is, for example, the shaded portion in Fig. 14.

[0105] The processor 212 outputs the lid manufacturing information DT90 further based on the window information DT50 stored in the memory 211.

[0106] (Specific example of modified example 3) 14, the design information DT11 included in the design information DT10 is a design of an open window. The design position of the window opening in the design information DT11 is specified as the open window in the packaging lid 60.

[0107] According to the above-mentioned configuration, the data generating device 21C can generate the lid manufacturing information DT90 of the packaging lid 60 based on at least one of the design information DT10 and the shape information DT20, taking into consideration the position of the opening window in the packaging lid 60 based on the window information DT50. Therefore, the packaging lid manufacturing system 1 described later can manufacture a packaging lid 60 having functionality that allows the contents to be confirmed when the packaging lid 60 is attached to a packaging container. Specifically, when a part of the packaging lid 60 is formed by a perforation that can be opened in a predetermined shape, an opening is formed by opening along the perforation, and the contents can be visually confirmed through this. Also, when the hatched portion in FIG. 14 is an opening covered with a transparent resin film or the like, the contents can be visually confirmed through this opening.

[0108] [Embodiment 2] <Configuration of packaging lid manufacturing system> A packaging lid manufacturing system 1 according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Fig. 15. Fig. 15 is a schematic diagram showing a schematic configuration of the packaging lid manufacturing system 1 according to the second embodiment of the present invention.

[0109] The data generating device 22 included in the packaging lid manufacturing system 1 according to the second embodiment differs from the data generating device 21 according to the first embodiment in that the data generating device 22 acquires information output from the data input device 10.

[0110] In the description of the second embodiment, the parts common to the data generating device 21 according to the first embodiment will not be described in detail again.

[0111] As shown in FIG. 15, the packaging lid manufacturing system 1 includes a data input device 10, a data generating device 22, and a packaging lid manufacturing device 32.

[0112] At least one of design information DT10 and shape information DT20 is input to the data input device 10 by a user. The data input device 10 can be realized by an information processing terminal such as a mobile phone, a smartphone, a notebook PC, a desktop PC, a tablet terminal, or a kiosk terminal. The data input device 10 has a communication device 11 that performs network communication. In response to an input by the user, the data input device 10 outputs at least one of design information DT10 and shape information DT20 to a data generation device 22 via the communication device 11. The data input device 10 and the data generation device 22 can be connected for communication via the Internet, for example.

[0113] The data generating device 22 has a communication device 223 that performs network communication. The processor 212 of the data generating device 22 acquires at least one of the design information DT10 and the shape information DT20 by the communication device 223 and stores it in the memory 211. The processor 212 generates lid manufacturing information DT90 based on at least one of the design information DT10 and the shape information DT20 stored in the memory 211. The processor 212 outputs the generated lid manufacturing information DT90 to the packaging lid manufacturing device 32 by the communication device 223.

[0114] According to the above-mentioned configuration, it is possible to provide a data generating device 22 that acquires, via a network, design information DT10 and shape information DT20 for manufacturing a packaging lid 60 desired by a user. Note that the data generating device 22 can be realized, for example, by a single or multiple server devices.

[0115] The packaging lid manufacturing device 32 manufactures the packaging lid 60 based on the lid manufacturing information DT90 output from the data generating device 22. The packaging lid manufacturing device 32 includes a communication device 321, a printing device 322, and a lid forming device 323.

[0116] The packaging lid manufacturing device 32 can be communicatively connected to the data generating device 22 via, for example, a dedicated line, a LAN (Local Area Network), the Internet, or the like, by the communication device 321. The packaging lid manufacturing device 32 acquires lid manufacturing information DT90 output from the data generating device 22.

[0117] The printing device 322 prints a design on the original based on the lid manufacturing information DT90.

[0118] The lid forming device 323 forms a packaging lid 60 from the original material on which the design is printed, based on the lid manufacturing information DT90.

[0119] According to the above-mentioned configuration, the packaging lid manufacturing system 1 can manufacture the packaging lid 60 based on the design information DT10 and the shape information DT20 output from the data input device 10 in response to the user's operation input. For example, the packaging lid manufacturing system 1 generates lid manufacturing information DT90 for a lid to which at least one of a design or a character is attached and which has a shape that follows the outer shape of at least one of the design or the character based on at least one of the pattern information DT11 or the character information DT12 included in the design information DT10, lid manufacturing information DT90 for a lid having an arbitrary shape included in the shape information DT20, lid manufacturing information DT90 for a lid in which the design information DT10 is added to the shape information DT20, and lid manufacturing information DT90 in which the shape information DT20 is added to the design information DT10. Furthermore, the packaging lid manufacturing system 1 generates the packaging lid 60 by the packaging lid manufacturing device 32 based on the lid manufacturing information DT90. Therefore, the packaging lid 60 according to the user's preference can be provided to the user.

[0120] Furthermore, the packaging lid manufacturing system 1 can transmit at least one of the design information DT10 and the shape information DT20 for customizing the packaging lid 60, which are input to the data input device 10, which is a user's mobile terminal capable of network communication such as a smartphone, to the data generating device 22 via a communication network or the like. Furthermore, the packaging lid manufacturing system 1 can acquire at least one of the design information DT10 and the shape information DT20 for customizing the packaging lid 60 via a communication network or the like. Therefore, even if the data input device 10 and the data generating device 22 are located at separate locations, at least one of the design information DT10 and the shape information DT20 can be input to the data generating device 22.

[0121] <Manufacturing method for packaging lids> A packaging lid manufacturing method S10 for manufacturing the packaging lid 60 by processing a raw sheet will be described with reference to Fig. 16. Fig. 16 is a flow chart showing each step of the manufacturing method for the packaging lid 60.

[0122] 16 is started, the data input device 10 acquires at least one of the design information DT10 and the shape information DT20 from the user's input (information acquisition step S11). The data input device 10 outputs the acquired information of the design information DT10 and the shape information DT20 to the data generation device 22.

[0123] Next, the data generating device 22 generates lid manufacturing information DT90 for manufacturing the packaging lid 60 based on at least one of the design information DT10 and the shape information DT20 output from the data input device 10. The data generating device 22 outputs the generated lid manufacturing information DT90 to the packaging lid manufacturing device 32 (lid manufacturing information output step S12).

[0124] Next, the packaging lid manufacturing device 32 manufactures the packaging lid 60 based on the lid manufacturing information DT90 (packaging lid manufacturing step S13). Details of the packaging lid manufacturing step S13 will be described later. With the above, the packaging lid manufacturing method S10 is completed.

[0125] <Details of packaging lid manufacturing step S13> The above-mentioned packaging lid manufacturing step S13 will be described in more detail with reference to Fig. 17. Fig. 17 is a process diagram showing an example of the flow of the manufacturing process of the packaging lid 60.

[0126] As shown in Fig. 17, a sheet-shaped raw web 50 is supplied to the packaging lid manufacturing apparatus 31 (step ST1). In step ST1, the packaging lid manufacturing apparatus 31 may supply a raw web 50 corresponding to the lid manufacturing information DT90. For example, when the above-mentioned type information DT40 indicates "standard type", a raw web for manufacturing a standard type packaging lid 60 shown in Fig. 11 is supplied to the packaging lid manufacturing apparatus 31. When the type information DT40 indicates "waterproof type", a raw web for manufacturing a waterproof type packaging lid 60 shown in Fig. 12 is supplied to the packaging lid manufacturing apparatus 31.

[0127] Next, the packaging lid manufacturing device 31 prints the design 51, including a pattern and characters, on the supplied original web 50 based on the design information DT10 included in the lid manufacturing information DT90 (step ST2).

[0128] If the design information DT10 is not included in the lid manufacturing information DT90, this step ST2 may be omitted. Next, from the original roll 50 on which the design 51 including patterns and characters is printed, the outer edge shape 52 of the packaging lid 60 is punched out by the packaging lid manufacturing device 31 based on the shape information DT20 included in the lid manufacturing information DT90 (step ST3).

[0129] The packaging lid 60 may be formed by punching the original web 50 with a Thomson blade or the like. The packaging lid 60 may be formed by a punching process multiple times. The packaging lid 60 may be formed from the original web 50 by a known cutting method instead of a punching process. When the window information DT50 is included in the lid manufacturing information DT90, for example, in the manufacturing process of the packaging lid 60, the outer edge shape of the packaging lid 60 indicated in the shape information DT20 included in the lid manufacturing information DT90 and the opening portion of the window indicated in the window information DT50 are punched out by the packaging lid manufacturing device 31 from the original web 50 on which a design including a pattern and characters is printed.

[0130] In this manner, the packaging lid 60 shown in FIG. 4 is manufactured.

[0131] In the above-mentioned configuration, the memory 211 stores at least one of the design information DT10 of the packaging lid 60 and the shape information DT20 of the packaging lid 60.

[0132] The processor 212 outputs lid manufacturing information DT90 for processing the packaging lid 60 in accordance with the information stored in the memory.

[0133] According to the above-mentioned configuration, it is possible to generate data for manufacturing the packaging lid 60 according to at least one of the design information DT10 of the packaging lid 60 and the shape information DT20 of the packaging lid 60. Therefore, it is possible to generate the lid manufacturing information DT90 for manufacturing the packaging lid 60 having a design according to the preferences of various users.

[0134] According to the above-mentioned configuration, the lid manufacturing information DT90 for manufacturing the packaging lid 60 according to various user preferences can be generated based on the user's input operation. Also, the packaging lid 60 can be manufactured based on the lid manufacturing information DT90 that reflects the user's preferences. This makes it possible to provide the user with the packaging lid 60 according to the user's preferences.

[0135] [Other embodiments] Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the above-mentioned embodiment is merely an example for carrying out the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment, and the above-mentioned embodiment can be appropriately modified and carried out without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

[0136] For example, the modifications of the first embodiment can be combined with each other. Also, the modifications of the first embodiment can be combined with the second embodiment.

[0137] Although not specifically described in each embodiment, the data input device and the packaging lid manufacturing device may have a processor. The processor of each device of the data input device, the data generation device, and the packaging lid manufacturing device may be a dedicated processor or a general-purpose processor. The functions realized by the processor of each embodiment executing the program may be realized in software or in hardware.

A program for realizing a packaging lid manufacturing system that processes a sheet to manufacture packaging lids causes the processor of each device to execute the following processes. A program that operates the processor of the data input device causes the processor to execute an information acquisition process that acquires, from user input, at least one of design information related to at least one of the patterns or characters to be drawn on the packaging lid and shape information related to the shape of the packaging lid. The program for operating the processor of the data generating device causes the processor to execute a lid manufacturing information output process for outputting lid manufacturing information for manufacturing a packaging lid based on at least one of the design information and the shape information. The program that operates the processor of the packaging lid manufacturing device executes a packaging lid manufacturing process that manufactures packaging lids based on the lid manufacturing information.

The packaging lid manufacturing system acquires the lid manufacturing information transmitted from a user's mobile terminal capable of network communication, such as a smartphone, which is a data generating device, and manufactures the packaging lid based on the information. Therefore, even if the data generating device and the packaging lid manufacturing device are located at different locations, the packaging lid can be manufactured based on at least one of the design information and the shape information.

[0141] In the first modification of the first embodiment, the processor 212 generates the shape information DT20 based on the circle K11, the additional region K13, and the tab region K12. However, the processor 212 may generate the shape information based on a shape obtained by adding an additional region and a tab region to a curved shape, a polygon such as a triangle or a rectangle, or a shape combining these, instead of a circle.
