Composite Label Creation via Data Segmentation and Overlap
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional methods for creating labels with a three-dimensional appearance are complex and lack efficiency in overlaying multiple tapes to achieve desired color combinations and depth effects.
Innovation Solution
A computer-readable storage medium and information processing device that generates second label data by using first label data to create a composite label by overlapping regions of first and second objects printed on different media, allowing for partial overlap and shifting to achieve a three-dimensional effect.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Shape
If multiple tapes are overlayed in their thickness direction to increase the number of colors and create three-dimensional appearance, then the label appearance and color combination are improved, but the process complexity and time consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the label creation process into separate data preparation stages. First label data including first object data is prepared, then second label data including second object data is generated by using the first label data. This segmentation allows each label to be created independently with specific object regions, simplifying the overall process while enabling three-dimensional appearance through controlled overlapping of these segmented data structures.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs preliminary actions by pre-generating second label data from first label data before the actual labeling process. The second object data is created by using the first object data, with regions positioned to partially overlap when labels are applied. This preliminary preparation of labeled data structures simplifies the subsequent physical labeling process and ensures proper three-dimensional appearance.
2Shape
If multiple tapes are overlayed to create composite labels with enhanced depth effects, then the visual appeal and color combinations are improved, but the time required for label creation increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-generating second label data from first label data before the labeling process. The second object data is created by using the first object data, with regions positioned to partially overlap when labels are applied. This preliminary preparation of labeled data structures simplifies the subsequent physical labeling process and ensures proper three-dimensional appearance.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent merges the creation of multiple labels into a single integrated process. By generating second label data from first label data using the same processing system, the patent combines what would otherwise be separate labeling operations into one efficient workflow, reducing total time while maintaining the three-dimensional depth effects through controlled regional overlapping.
3Shape
If regions of first and second objects are partially overlapped when labels are overlayed, then the three-dimensional appearance is enhanced, but the precision required for alignment increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the label data into distinct first and second label data structures with clearly defined object regions. The first label data includes first object data and the second label data includes second object data, with the second object data generated by using the first object data. This segmentation provides clear boundaries and definitions for each region, making alignment more precise and manageable while enabling the desired three-dimensional appearance through controlled overlapping.

AI summary
In an information processing device, a computer prepares first label data including first object data. The first label data and the first object data represent respectively a first image and a first object. The first label data is to be used to create a first label. The computer generates second label data including second object data by using the first label data. The second object data is generated by using the first object data. The second label data and the second object data represent respectively a second image and a second object. The second label data is to be used to create a second label. The first label and the second label are to be overlaid to create a composite label. A region of the first object and a region of the second object are partially overlapped when the first and second labels are to be overlaid.
