Label Sheet Segmentation for Accurate Data Correlation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional label sheets face challenges in managing merchandise labels effectively due to inappropriate information on both the merchandise label and the index label, leading to incorrect data correlation and limited information display.
Innovation Solution
A label sheet comprising a first label indicating object information and a second label for managing the first label, with the second label providing necessary but inappropriate information, such as handling instructions or attachment details, which are not printed on the first label, allowing for appropriate management and attachment of the first label.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If information is printed on both the merchandise label and the index label, then data correlation is established, but the merchandise label contains inappropriate information that should not be displayed
Solution Approach 1:
The label information is segmented into two distinct parts: the merchandise label contains only appropriate product information, while the index label contains the inappropriate management information. This segmentation resolves the contradiction by separating the functions of data display and data correlation, allowing each label to contain only the information appropriate for its purpose.
Solution Approach 2:
The index label acts as an intermediary that holds the inappropriate management information while still enabling data correlation through bar codes. This mediator allows the merchandise label to remain clean of inappropriate information while the index label carries the management data needed for correlation and verification.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If information is limited on the merchandise label, then inappropriate information is avoided, but the index label also lacks necessary management information
Solution Approach 1:
The solution moves management information from the primary dimension (merchandise label) to a secondary dimension (index label). This dimensional shift allows the merchandise label to focus on appropriate product information while the index label provides the necessary management information in a separate informational layer, preventing information loss without contaminating the primary label.
3Device complexity
If the same information is printed on both labels, then data correlation is simplified, but the merchandise label is cluttered with management information
Solution Approach 1:
Information is segmented by function and audience: the merchandise label contains product information for end users, while the index label contains management information for internal use. This functional segmentation simplifies the information structure by giving each label a clear, distinct purpose rather than duplicating all information on both labels.

AI summary
A label sheet is constituted by a second label and predetermined plural numbers of first labels which are formed consecutively with the second label. The first label to be attached to an object indicates predetermined information on the object, and the second label for managing the first label indicates second information which is not appropriate as the information to be indicated on the first label and is on the purpose and handling of the first label.
