The present invention generally relates to printing, and more particularly to improve the efficiency in amending and reproducing a label.
Generally speaking, it can be difficult to amend and reproduce a label without access to the actual source script. Customers who wish to print a certain label may have to use a software program to create the label. The user may know what kind of label the user desires, but to create the label, the user would first have to learn a new software program or a new printer language before able to create the label. This task may require a significant amount of time to learn the new program or language. In some cases, the user may only want to change a small portion of an existing label design. If the source code or source file of the original label cannot be found, or difficult to retrieve, the user may have to redesign or re-code every single element of the original label.
Therefore, a need exists for a method/apparatus to quickly and accurately amend and reproduce a label without access to the actual source script.
Accordingly, in one aspect, the present invention embraces an image to script converter for thermal printers to assist users in reproducing or amending a label without actual source script. A device, for example but not limited to, a mobile device, a smart phone, a smart mobile phone, or a computer, may comprise a software application that may be able to scan the image of a barcode label, or capture by a camera a photograph of the label. The software application may use an image processing library to recognize smart object fields in the captured image, then may translate the smart object information to a printing language script automatically.
In an exemplary embodiment, a method may comprise capturing, by a device, an image of a label; processing, by the device, the image with an image processor; identifying, by the device, smart objects in the captured image, wherein the smart objects include text, barcodes, shapes and smart object images. In response to a user of the device deciding not to configure the smart objects, the device automatically generates a source script file based on smart object information, and in response to the user of the device deciding to configure the identified smart objects, updating, by the user, the smart object information, and then the device automatically generates the source script file based on the updated smart object information; and transferring, by the device, the generated source script file based on the smart object information or the updated smart object information to a printer.
The method may further comprise the following: Updating, by the device the smart object information may include adjusting parameters specific to each of the identified smart objects. The device, which comprises a processor, may utilize one or more applications that reside on the device and/or are web-based applications. The one or more applications may be supported by an iOS software platform and/or an Android software platform that recognize field information of the smart objects, and translates the field information to a printing language script. The iOS software platform and/or the Android software platform may utilize an open source open-CV image processing library to recognize the field information of the smart objects and to translate the field information to printing language script. Printing language script utilized in the generated source script file may be Honeywell Fingerprint language. The printer may reproduce a replica printed image of the label by generating a printing language script.
In another exemplary embodiment, a user may decide whether or not to configure the identified smart objects. In response to the user deciding not to configure the identified smart objects, the device may automatically generate the source script file based on the smart object information. In response to the user deciding to configure the identified smart objects, the device may update the smart object information and then may automatically generate the source script file based on the updated smart object information. In response to the smart objects not being identified in the captured image, the method may be terminated.
The foregoing illustrative summary, as well as other exemplary objectives and/or advantages of the invention, and the manner in which the same are accomplished, are further explained within the following detailed description and its accompanying drawings.
The present invention embraces an image to script converter for thermal printers to assist users in reproducing or amending a label without actual source script. A device, for example but not limited to, a mobile device, a smart phone, a smart mobile phone, or a computer, may comprise a software application that may be able to scan the image of a barcode label, or capture by a camera a photograph of the label. The software application may use an image processing library to recognize smart object fields in the captured image, namely text, barcodes, smart object images and shapes and then may translate the smart object information to a printing language script automatically. The application may provide the capability to a user to adjust the parameters specific to each of the identified smart objects and once the user makes the necessary changes, a source script file may be generated based on the updated smart object information. Then, the label may be sent to a printer from the application itself. The application also may store multiple printer languages to accommodate printing to different printers. In other words, with smart object images and shapes the user may make changes to the image and/or shape. The changes may include, but without limitations scaling, re-positioning and/or even replacing with another image/shape. Other embodiments of the present invention may include, but without limitations various types of media and documents.
In other words, embodiments of the present invention may require a device to be capable of capturing an image and associated application software to be capable to process the image. Additionally, the associated application software allows the scanned image or photograph to be automatically translated to a printer language script. Users may change content of the script without having to design the whole script. An example embodiment may be changing a one dimensional bar code to a two dimensional bar code. The present invention may not create a replica of the actual source script, but may create another source script capable of generating a replica printed image. The associated application software may reside on the device or may be one or more web-based application.
With the present invention, a user does not need to learn any printer specific languages to edit or create a label. In an embodiment, the user may simply take a snapshot of an existing label and edit the label in real-time. The images may be converted and saved in a supported printer language script, e.g., for example, but not limited to Honeywell Fingerprint language. In other embodiments, the present invention may be implemented to create source scripts of other languages. Information may be added that allows the user to choose which printing command language that they wish to output. And if the user wants to print the output directly to a connected printer, the software may be able to retrieve information from the connected printer and output the appropriate format so that the printer can print.
The mobile application may be designed, for example, but not limited to, for an iOS/Android software platform, using the open source open-CV image processing library to recognize field information of smart objects, and then translate to a Fingerprint printing language script. (CV is Computer Vision). The user may also be able to edit the smart objects with different parameters before generating the script.
The smart objects may be categorized into 4 different categories, such as barcodes, text, shapes, and smart object images. An image may be a picture, for example, but not limited to, a company logo. The parameters, as specified per the open source open-CV image processing library, may be specific to each of the identified smart object, for example, but not limited to, barcodes including different types of barcodes types such as datamatrix, QR codes, code 39, code 128 and etc. The user may decide to configure the identified smart objects. If the user decides to configure the smart objects, the device proceeds to update smart object information. Whether or not the user decides to configure the identified smart objections, the device automatically generates the source script file.
The method may include a user and a device. The device may be a mobile device or a computer that may utilize an associated application. The associated application may be an application that resides in the device, or may be a web-based application. The device may include a camera or a scanner, and may be operable to capture a photographic image of the item, or may be operable to scan an image of the item, e.g. for a barcode. The scanner may be an office document scanner in which the scanned result is an image. The camera may be associated with a mobile phone. The method comprises the following steps:
Capturing or acquiring a photograph (photo) or image of the label or other item. (step 202) This step may include scanning a barcode of a label or taking a photograph of the label.
Processing the image with an image processor associated with the device, or web-based imaging software. (step 204)
Determining if smart objects can be identified. (step 205). If smart objects cannot be identified, the method terminates.
If smart objects can be identified, identifying the smart objects in the photo/image. The smart objects may include text, barcodes, smart object images, and shapes. (step 206)
The user may decide to configure the smart objects, or not. (step 208)
In response to the user deciding not to configure the identified smart objects, the application may proceed to automatically generate a source script file based on the smart object information. (step 210)
In response to the user deciding to configure the identified smart objects, the application may update the smart object information. This update may include adjusting parameters specific to each of the identified smart objects. (step 212) The application then proceeds to automatically generates a source script file based on the updated smart object information. (step 210)
The generated source script file is transferred to a printer for a print operation. (step 218)
Hence, once the smart object information is available, it may be transferred automatically in step 214 (or step 216) to a script file generator causing each object to be converted to information that will form up the source script file. (step 210)
