Solution Overview

Problem

Current two-dimensional code initialization methods are inefficient due to the need for individual scanning of codes and low management efficiency, especially when dealing with large quantities of goods, leading to potential skipping or mistaken initialization and increased printing costs.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus that determine the corresponding goods batch for a two-dimensional code based on preset correspondence, allowing multiple codes to be associated with a URL in bulk, reducing the need for one-by-one scanning and enabling efficient initialization by using the goods batch as a unit, and implementing a sequence number allocation rule for volume-based association.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If two-dimensional codes are scanned one by one for initialization, then initialization accuracy is improved, but initialization efficiency deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinitialization accuracyVSAvoidinitialization efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the initialization process into two parts: first, verify the written information of the goods batch once; second, automatically associate all two-dimensional codes in that batch with the verified URL. This segmentation allows accurate verification without scanning each code individually, resolving the contradiction between accuracy and efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs preliminary verification of the goods batch written information before associating multiple two-dimensional codes. By verifying the batch information in advance, the system ensures accuracy while enabling bulk association of codes without repeated verification, thus improving efficiency while maintaining accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Measurement precision

If two-dimensional codes are scanned one by one for initialization, then initialization accuracy is improved, but time consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinitialization accuracyVSAvoidtime consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the initialization process into batch-level verification and code-level association. By verifying the goods batch information once and then automatically associating all codes in the batch, the system eliminates repeated verification time while maintaining accuracy, thus reducing time consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses the verified URL information as a template to associate multiple two-dimensional codes in the same goods batch. Instead of verifying each code individually, the system copies the verified URL association to all codes in the batch, dramatically reducing time consumption while maintaining accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

3Measurement precision

If individual code scanning is performed, then initialization accuracy is improved, but management efficiency deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinitialization accuracyVSAvoidmanagement efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the management process into batch verification and code association steps. The batch verification ensures accuracy, while the automatic code association improves management efficiency by eliminating manual scanning of each code, thus resolving the contradiction between accuracy and ease of operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system automatically associates two-dimensional codes with verified URLs based on goods batch information, without requiring manual scanning or intervention for each code. This self-service approach maintains accuracy through batch verification while dramatically improving management efficiency by eliminating repetitive manual operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

A two-dimensional code initialization method includes: receiving information about any two-dimensional code, and determining, according to a preset correspondence between a name of a goods batch and information about the two-dimensional code, a name of a goods batch corresponding to the information about the two-dimensional code; determining, according to the name of the goods batch corresponding to the information about the two-dimensional code, information about a plurality of two-dimensional codes corresponding to the name of the goods batch; and associating the information about the plurality of two-dimensional codes with a URL in which goods information is written and that corresponds to the name of the goods batch corresponding to the information about the two-dimensional code.
