Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If traditional paper or washable labels are used, then the label is simple and easy to manufacture, but the information capacity and high-density coding capability are insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent embeds multiple layers of information storage within the label structure. A visible code (QR code or barcode) is nested on the label surface, which links to a database containing detailed commodity information. Additionally, an RFID electronic label is embedded within the same label structure, providing another layer of data storage and retrieval capability. This nested structure enables high-density coding and large information capacity without significantly increasing the overall label size or complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a database as an intermediary between the label and the commodity information. The visible code on the label serves as a key that links to the database, which stores detailed commodity information. This intermediary approach allows the label itself to remain simple while providing access to extensive information through the database, effectively resolving the contradiction between simple label structure and large information capacity.
2Quantity of substance
If more information is expressed on the label, then the information capacity increases, but the label size and area increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions from two-dimensional information display on the label surface to multi-dimensional information storage. The visible code (QR code or barcode) on the label surface links to a database that stores detailed commodity information in additional dimensions. This allows extensive information to be accessed without increasing the physical label area, as the information is stored externally in the database rather than directly on the label.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent embeds an RFID electronic label within the physical label structure. This nested RFID tag provides additional information storage capacity without significantly increasing the external dimensions of the label. The RFID label is contained within the same physical boundary as the visible code, enabling high-density information storage in a compact form factor.
3Quantity of substance
If digital label components are added, then the information capacity and functionality improve, but the manufacturing cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent designs the label system to serve multiple functions through a unified structure. The same label contains both a visible code for basic identification and an embedded RFID electronic label for advanced functionalities such as wireless communication, inventory management, and detailed information retrieval. This multi-functional design allows the system to provide extensive information capacity and advanced features while avoiding the need for separate identification systems, thereby controlling manufacturing costs through consolidation.
4Ease of operation
If RFID electronic label is embedded, then the reading and writing convenience improves, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the RFID electronic label with the physical label structure into a single integrated unit. The RFID tag is embedded within the same label that contains the visible code, creating a unified identification system. This merging allows both wireless RFID reading and visual code scanning to be performed on the same physical object, improving reading and writing convenience while avoiding the need for separate identification devices or procedures.

AI summary
The present invention relates to a digital label which includes a unique code (1) and a unique code platform (2) in the digital label, where the unique code platform (2) links the commodity information with a unique code (1), and includes a storage medium (3) configured to store the commodity information in the storage medium (3); and a front-end client terminal (4) is configured to connect to the unique code platform (1) through a network; The front-end client terminal (4) is configured to obtain the commodity information stored in the storage medium through the unique code (1); and includes a back-end management module (5), where the back-end management module (5) is configured to assign a value to the unique code or modify the commodity information of the unique code. The above digital label can be convenient for reading and writing, can be used as the only entrance for the representation of information, and at the same time can have the capability of high-density coding, a large information capacity, a strong fault tolerance, with an error correction function, where a damage can also be identified and has high confidentiality, low cost, easy to make, durable and other characteristics.
