A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11860965B1) discloses a computing system designed to streamline the creation of digital labels to complement physical labels. The system includes a label printing module that generates print jobs for physical labels with machine-readable objects containing Internet addresses linked to digital labels in a database. These digital labels provide additional item information accessible online, with the system supporting multi-tenancy in a cloud computing environment through APIs. The system also allows for the creation of different user interfaces for various digital label databases and enforces modification rules to control changes to the digital labels.

Furthermore, the system integrates a web server, reader, and web browser to access digital label content, with options for barcode or ID tag readers. It also includes encryption features for secure data transmission and a database management system to oversee the digital label database. The system's functionality extends to managing item identifiers, handling modification requests, and ensuring compliance with modification rules. With a focus on maintaining the integrity of static information while allowing updates to dynamic data, the system offers a comprehensive solution for enhancing traditional labeling practices. Overall, the patent outlines a sophisticated computing system that revolutionizes label creation by seamlessly integrating physical and digital label components, catering to a wide range of industries and applications.
