Description

A system for tracking and separating products using barcodes attached to products or their packaging. This relates to a system for identifying and separating products using barcodes attached to products or product packaging. More specifically, it relates to a management system and device that enables efficient separate collection of products upon disposal by utilizing barcodes attached to products or product packaging. The amount of household waste generated increases every year, reaching 2,304 tons (Ministry of Environment, 2022), and accounts for a very large proportion of total waste at 43.5%. Nevertheless, the separation and collection of recyclable resources from household waste shifted to a downward trend, decreasing from 413 tons to 394 tons (2021–2022). While the amount of waste generated increased, the amount of separated waste decreased. Nevertheless, the current product separation labeling system can cause confusion as labels are placed in different locations depending on the product's composition, and the need for intuitive separation labeling has emerged as product manufacturing methods become more diverse. FIG. 1 is a flowchart illustrating a system for identifying and separating/discharging products using a barcode attached to a product or product packaging according to the present invention. In describing the embodiments of this specification, if it is determined that a detailed description of known configurations or functions may obscure the essence of the embodiments of this specification, such detailed description is omitted. Additionally, parts of the drawings unrelated to the description of the embodiments of this specification have been omitted, and similar parts have been given similar reference numerals. In the embodiments of this specification, when a component is described as being "connected," "combined," or "joined" with another component, this may include not only a direct connection but also an indirect connection in which another component exists in between. Furthermore, when a component is described as "comprising" or "having" another component, this means that, unless specifically stated otherwise, it does not exclude the other component but may include additional components. In the embodiments of this specification, terms such as first, second, etc. are used solely for the purpose of distinguishing one component from another component and do not limit the order or importance of the components unless specifically stated otherwise. Accordingly, within the scope of the embodiments of this specification, the first component in an embodiment may be referred to as the second component in another embodiment, and likewise, the second component in an embodiment may be referred to as the first component in another embodiment. In the embodiments of this specification, distinct components are intended to clearly explain their respective features and do not imply that the components are necessarily separated. That is, multiple components may be integrated to form a single hardware or software unit, or a single component may be distributed to form multiple hardware or software units. Therefore, such integrated or distributed embodiments are included within the scope of the embodiments of this specification, even if not otherwise mentioned. The present invention relates to a system for identifying and separating products using a barcode attached to a product or its packaging. More specifically, it relates to a management system and device capable of efficiently separating and collecting products upon disposal using a barcode attached to a product or its packaging.
