Solution Overview

Problem

The increasing complexity of product types and numbers in warehouses complicates efficient product picking, packing, and delivery, particularly in non-face-to-face delivery scenarios, leading to potential losses and inefficiencies.

Innovation Solution

A method and device utilizing QR codes to provide packing precaution information, order details, and status updates, allowing users to efficiently select and pack products, manage inventory, and track delivery locations, with features like color coding for status changes and navigation integration.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the type or number of products available to be ordered increases, then the variety and selection for customers is improved, but it becomes more difficult to efficiently find and pick products

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveproduct varietyVSAvoidproduct picking efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses QR codes as information copies that contain encoded product and order details. By scanning the QR code, the system retrieves and displays relevant information without requiring manual search through physical products or complex databases, thus maintaining high product variety while improving picking efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The QR code acts as an intermediary between the physical product and the order information system. It mediates the connection by providing a quick-access interface that displays product details, packing precautions, and order status, enabling efficient information retrieval without increasing physical complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If different packing methods and precautions subject to types of products increase, then the packing accuracy and product safety is improved, but it becomes harder to pack the products

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepacking accuracyVSAvoidpacking operation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system provides real-time feedback by displaying packing precautions specific to each product type on the QR code scan interface. It guides the operator through the correct packing procedure, confirms when packing is complete, and provides verification that the correct product and packaging method were used, thereby improving accuracy while simplifying the operation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses color changes in the QR code scan interface to indicate different states and precautions. Different colors highlight different packing requirements or product types, making the packing process more intuitive and easier to operate by providing visual cues that guide the operator through complex packing procedures

Inventive Principle:
Principle #32Color changes

3Speed

If non-face-to-face delivery is implemented, then the delivery speed and service coverage is improved, but there is a possibility that the products may be lost

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedelivery speedVSAvoidproduct delivery safety
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements feedback mechanisms where the delivery person scans the QR code to confirm receipt and delivery of the package. This provides verification that the correct product was delivered to the correct location, maintaining high delivery safety while enabling fast non-face-to-face delivery operations

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The QR code serves as a digital copy that tracks the product throughout the delivery process. It contains information about the product, order status, and delivery confirmation, providing a verifiable record that ensures product safety and accountability in non-face-to-face delivery scenarios

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

AI summary

A method for supporting the packing and delivery of products by a user, comprising: a step in which a Quick-response (QR) code on an order confirmation is scanned by the user; a step for providing packing precaution information and order detail information, including an ordered products list, on the basis of the QR code on the order confirmation; a step for displaying the packing precaution information in a first color when the packing precaution information is selected by the user; a step in which a specific product in the ordered product list is selected by the user when the packing of the specific product in the ordered product list has been completed; and a step for displaying the specific product in the first color when the specific product is selected.
