Composite Label Editing with Superimposed Image Preview
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional methods for creating composite tape labels are inefficient as they require creating multiple tape print images before displaying the final overlaid appearance, making intuitive editing of these labels in a superimposed state difficult.
Innovation Solution
A system that includes a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium with instructions for an information processing device to acquire, display, receive, and identify template data for composite labels, allowing users to edit label images while viewing their final appearance, with the ability to edit within different allowable editing ranges for various image data sets.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If multiple tape print images are created before displaying the composite image, then the composite label can be formed, but the editing process becomes inefficient and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by acquiring and displaying a composite image that previews the final overlaid appearance of multiple label images before the actual printing and physical assembly process. This allows users to review and edit the composite label design in advance, avoiding the need to create multiple separate tape print images sequentially and then manually assemble them to see the final result.
2Ease of operation
If users edit label images without viewing the final overlaid appearance, then the editing process is simpler, but the user cannot intuitively understand the final composite label appearance
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements feedback by displaying the composite image that shows the final overlaid appearance of multiple label images during the editing process. When users perform editing operations on individual label images, the composite image is updated to reflect these changes, providing real-time visual feedback on how the edits will appear in the final composite label. This allows users to intuitively understand the final appearance while editing.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the system allows editing of all image data without restrictions, then the flexibility is higher, but the system becomes more complex and harder to control
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies local quality by implementing different allowable editing ranges for different types of image data within the composite label. Instead of applying a uniform editing restriction or permission across all label images, the system determines and applies specific editing ranges based on the type and characteristics of each image data set. This allows flexible editing where appropriate while maintaining control and simplicity where needed.

AI summary
In an information processing device, a processor is configured to perform: acquiring; displaying; receiving; and identifying. The acquiring acquires from a memory a single set of template data for a composite label. The single set of template data includes a plurality of sets of image data corresponding to respective ones of a plurality of print labels and representing respective ones of a plurality of label images. The single composite label is to be created using the plurality of print labels. The displaying displays on a display a composite label image in which the plurality of label images is superimposed on each other. The receiving receives a designating operation on the composite label image via an operating interface. The designating operation targeting a target label image. The identifying identifies target image data corresponding to the target label image from among the plurality of sets of image data.
