Dual-Code Privilege Display for Label-Free Discount Updates
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems require attaching new labels to products each time a discount amount changes, increasing workload and costs, and customers cannot confirm privileges until labels are attached.
Innovation Solution
A privilege display system that uses a storage unit to associate product ID, additional information, and privilege information, an imaging unit to capture codes representing these, and a display unit to show privileges in real-time moving images, eliminating the need for physical labels.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If a new label is attached to the product each time the discount amount changes, then the customer can confirm the content of the privilege, but the workload on the clerk is increased and the cost of the label is increased
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses a camera to capture an image of the product label and displays it on a display device, creating a visual copy of the label information. This allows customers to view the privilege content without requiring physical label changes, thereby reducing clerk workload while maintaining information accessibility.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a camera and display device as intermediary components between the product label and the customer. The camera captures the label information and the display device presents it to the customer, eliminating the need for direct physical label attachment and changing by the clerk.
2Loss of information
If a new label is attached to the product each time the discount amount changes, then the customer can confirm the content of the privilege, but the cost of the label is increased
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a digital copy of the label information through camera capture and display, eliminating the need for physical label reproduction. This reduces material costs associated with printing and attaching multiple labels while maintaining complete privilege information visibility.
3Loss of information
If a new label is attached to the product each time the discount amount changes, then the customer can confirm the content of the privilege, but the time required for label attachment is increased
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a camera and display device as intermediary components that enable instant viewing of label information without physical manipulation. This eliminates the time required for label attachment and changing operations while maintaining immediate access to privilege content.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses digital imaging to create an instant copy of the label information that can be displayed immediately, eliminating the time-consuming physical processes of label cutting, attachment, and replacement while maintaining complete information visibility.

AI summary
A privilege display system includes a storage unit that stores product ID information set for each product, additional information set for each product, and privilege information set for each additional information in association with each other; an imaging unit that acquires a video including a first code attached to the product and a second code attached to the product; a display unit that displays the video as a real-time moving image; and a processing unit that acquires the product ID information represented by the first code and the additional information represented by the second code from the video, determines a privilege based on the privilege information stored in the storage unit in association with the acquired product ID information and the acquired additional information, and displays a content of the privilege at a predetermined position with respect to the second code in the real-time moving image.
