Detailed Description

Exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. While exemplary embodiments of the invention are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the invention can be embodied in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art.

Fig. 1 is a flowchart illustrating a method for inventory management of reservation products according to an embodiment of the present invention. The method can be applied to various service platforms, such as catering service platforms, accommodation service platforms, entertainment service platforms (such as KTVs, ball halls and the like) and the like. Specifically, the method can be executed on the server side, and the present embodiment does not limit the specific type of the specific server-side device.

As shown in fig. 1, the method includes: step S110, receiving configuration information input by a merchant-side user, where the configuration information includes inventory configuration information corresponding to each time period and execution cycle configuration information corresponding to each time period.

Different from the prior art, the embodiment does not need the merchant-side user to input the configuration information every day, and only needs the merchant-side user to input the inventory configuration information corresponding to each time period and the execution cycle configuration information corresponding to each time period, so that the product inventory management in a plurality of unit periods (for example, every day) can be automatically executed in the subsequent steps, and the inventory management efficiency is improved.

In a specific implementation, a corresponding configuration information input entry may be provided at the merchant end, and the merchant-end user may be able to input corresponding configuration information through the configuration information input entry. Wherein the configuration information input entry may include: an inventory configuration information input portal and an execution period input portal. The inventory configuration information input entry is used for receiving inventory configuration information corresponding to each time period input by a merchant end user, and the execution period input entry is used for receiving execution period configuration information corresponding to each time period input by the merchant end user. For example, the merchant-side user may input the product inventory configuration information with the time period No.1 through the inventory configuration information input entry, and the execution period corresponding to the configuration information input through the execution period input entry is "monday", so that the merchant-side user does not need to input the configuration information once for each monday.

Further, configuration information input by a merchant end user is received, and the configuration information includes inventory configuration information (such as inventory information) corresponding to each time period and execution cycle configuration information corresponding to each time period. For example, the execution cycle corresponding to the time cycle No.1 is "monday", and in the time cycle, a plurality of unit time periods (days) of "monday" are included.

Step S120 is to generate an inventory management rule corresponding to each time period based on the inventory configuration information.

According to the inventory configuration information corresponding to each time period in the configuration information received in step S110, the inventory management rule corresponding to the time period is generated, so that the corresponding inventory management rule is provided for each time period, for example, for time period No.1 ("monday"), the inventory management rule matching with the time period is generated.

Optionally, the inventory management rule may include: inventory display rules, inventory instance generation rules, and/or inventory deduction rules, etc. The inventory display rule is used for displaying inventory information based on the rule, for example, the rule includes a corresponding rendering rule and the like; the inventory instance generation rule is used for generating a corresponding inventory instance based on the rule, and the rule comprises the generation time, the generation parameters and the like of the inventory instance; and the stock deduction rule is used for stock deduction and the like based on the rule.

In step S130, the inventory management rule is copied to each unit time period corresponding to the time period according to the execution cycle configuration information.

In the present embodiment, one time period corresponds to a plurality of unit time periods. For example, the execution cycle configuration information is a time cycle No.1 of "monday", and the unit time period corresponding to the time cycle is monday, that is, 8 months and 5 days, 8 months and 12 days, 8 months and 19 days, and the like. Thus, according to the execution cycle configuration information, the inventory management rule is copied to each unit time period corresponding to the time cycle, such as automatically synchronizing the inventory configuration information for "monday" to 8 month 5, 8 month 12, 8 month 19, and so on, thereby eliminating the need for the merchant-side user to manually configure the inventory configuration information for 8 month 5, 8 month 12, 8 month 19, respectively. Or, when the merchant user wants to synchronize the configuration information of "monday every week" to "wednesday", the merchant user only needs to link the configuration information to the execution period configuration information of "wednesday" through the corresponding copy control.

Optionally, after step S130, the present embodiment may further receive a reservation request sent by the client user, query a unit time period matching the reservation time, and perform inventory management by using an inventory management rule corresponding to the unit time period.

For example, if the unit time period corresponding to the reservation request of the client user is 8 months and 5 days, the inventory management rule matching 8 months and 5 days is subjected to inventory management.

Optionally, in the specific inventory management process, the step receives a reservation ordering request sent by a client user, queries a unit time period matched with the reservation time, generates a corresponding inventory instance by using an inventory instance generation rule corresponding to the unit time period, and updates the inventory by using an inventory deduction rule corresponding to the unit time period. In the embodiment, only after the corresponding inventory management rule is generated in the steps from S110 to S130, the corresponding inventory instance is not generated, and the corresponding inventory instance is generated after the client user sends the order reservation request.

Further optionally, in the process of performing inventory deduction by using the inventory deduction rule corresponding to the unit time period, specifically, by using the inventory deduction rule corresponding to the unit time period, according to the initial inventory corresponding to the unit time period and the number of the generated inventory unit instances corresponding to the unit time period, the inventory corresponding to the unit time period is updated, and further according to the inventory display rule corresponding to the unit time period, the updated inventory is displayed in a corresponding rendering manner. In an optional implementation manner, if it is monitored that after the client user sends an order placing request, an order canceling or payment failure message is further received, the inventory corresponding to the unit time period is updated and replenished.

Optionally, the embodiment may further receive inventory configuration information for a special unit time period (for example, inventory information for special dates such as 2 month, 14 days, 10 month, 1 day, and the like), and/or inventory configuration information for an exclusion unit time period (for example, inventory information for no reservation on dates such as 5 month, 1 day, and the like), and generate a corresponding inventory management rule for the special unit time period and/or the exclusion unit time period. In a specific implementation process, inventory management of the reserved product is comprehensively performed according to the priority of the inventory management rule corresponding to the special unit time period, the exclusion unit time period and/or the cycle unit time period. Preferably, the priority of the inventory management rule corresponding to the special unit time period, the exclusion unit time period and/or the cycle unit time period is as follows: inventory management rule corresponding to cycle unit time period > inventory management rule corresponding to special unit time period > inventory management rule corresponding to the cycle unit time period. Therefore, flexibility of operation of the merchant end is improved, and user experience is improved.

In this embodiment, in an optional implementation manner, in order to facilitate fine management of reserved products, according to a time period scheme configured by a merchant end user, a unit time period is divided into m reserved time periods in advance; thus, the configuration information in step S110 includes inventory configuration information corresponding to each reserved time period in each time period, and in step S120, an inventory management rule corresponding to each reserved time period in each time period is generated according to the inventory configuration information corresponding to each reserved time period; in step S140, a reservation request sent by the client user is received, a reservation time period matching the reservation time is queried, and inventory management is performed according to an inventory management rule corresponding to the reservation time period. Taking the accommodation platform as an example, the unit time period (day) of the time cycle No.1 (every monday) is divided into "9: 00-11: 00","11: 00-13: 00","13: 00-15: 00' 3 reservation time periods, each of the 3 reservation time periods having corresponding inventory configuration information (e.g., inventory amount corresponding to each time period, etc.); further, an inventory management rule corresponding to each reserved time zone can be generated for each reserved time zone, and inventory management of reserved products can be performed with each reserved time zone in each time cycle as a management dimension. Finally, if the reservation time period matching the reservation time is queried as "13: 00-15: 00', inventory management is performed by using an inventory management rule corresponding to the reserved time period.

In this embodiment, in another optional implementation, in order to further implement refined management of reserved products, in this implementation, a unit time period is divided into m reserved time periods in advance according to a time period scheme configured by a merchant end user; determining n product types according to a product scheme configured by a merchant-side user; and binding the m reservation time periods and the n product types one by one to obtain m x n reservation objects. Thus, the configuration information in step S110 includes inventory configuration information corresponding to each reservation object in each time period, the inventory management rule corresponding to each reservation object in each time period is generated according to the inventory configuration information corresponding to each reservation object in step S120, and in step S140, the reservation request sent by the client is received, and the reservation object matching the reservation time and the reserved product is inquired; and performing inventory management by using an inventory management rule corresponding to the reservation object. Still taking the accommodation platform as an example, the unit time period (day) of the time period No.1 (every monday) is divided into "9: 00-11: 00","11: 00-13: 00","13: 00-15: 00 "3 reservation periods, and 2 product types of" 2 intermen "and" single interman "are provided, so that 3 × 2 (i.e. 6) reservation objects can be obtained by one-to-one binding of each reservation period and each product type, and the reservation objects are specifically" 9: 00-11: 00 "+" 2 interpersonal "," 9: 00-11: 00 "+" single person room "," 11: 00-13: 00 "+" 2 interhuman "," 11: 00-13: 00 "+" single person room "," 13: 00-15: 00 "+" 2 interpersonal "," 13: 00-15: 00 ' + ' between single persons '. And generating an inventory management rule corresponding to each reservation object in the 6 reservation objects, thereby realizing the refined reservation of the reserved product by taking the reservation object as a management dimension. Finally, if the reservation target matching the reservation time is "13: 00-15: 00 ' + ' 2 interpersonal ', the stock management rule of the reservation object is used to perform stock management. Optionally, in a specific implementation, only when "13: 00-15: when the reservation ordering operation of the reservation object of 00 ' + ' 2 interpersonal ' is performed, the corresponding inventory instance is generated according to the inventory management rule corresponding to the reservation object, and the corresponding inventory is updated (namely, the inventory is deducted), so that the storage resource is saved.

Therefore, the embodiment receives configuration information input by a user at a merchant end; the configuration information comprises inventory configuration information corresponding to each time period and execution period configuration information corresponding to each time period; wherein, a time period comprises a plurality of unit time periods; generating an inventory management rule corresponding to each time period according to the inventory configuration information; according to the execution cycle configuration information, copying the inventory management rule to each unit time period corresponding to the time cycle; receiving a reservation request sent by a client user, inquiring a unit time period matched with the reservation time, and performing inventory management by using an inventory management rule corresponding to the unit time period. By adopting the scheme, when the stock management of the reserved products is carried out by the merchant end user, the stock management of the reserved products in a plurality of unit time periods can be completed only by inputting a small amount of configuration information, the operation flow of the merchant end user is greatly simplified, the efficiency is improved, and the user experience is improved.

Fig. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a table management method for pre-ordering food according to another embodiment of the present invention. The method is mainly applied to the catering service platform. Specifically, the method can be executed on the server side, and the present embodiment does not limit the specific type of the specific server-side device.

As shown in fig. 2, the method includes:

step S210, receiving pre-ordering configuration information input by a merchant-side user; the pre-ordering configuration information comprises table configuration information corresponding to each time period and execution cycle configuration information corresponding to each time period.

In this embodiment, the table management in a plurality of unit periods (for example, every day) can be automatically executed in the subsequent steps by only inputting the table configuration information corresponding to each time period and the execution cycle configuration information corresponding to each time period by the merchant end user without inputting the pre-ordering configuration information every day by the merchant end user, so that the table management efficiency in the pre-ordering process is improved.

Specifically, a corresponding table configuration information input entrance is provided at the merchant end, and a user at the merchant end can input corresponding pre-ordering configuration information through the configuration information input entrance. Wherein the configuration information input entry may include: a table configuration information input entry and an execution period input entry. The table configuration information input entry is used for receiving table configuration information corresponding to each time period input by a merchant end user, and the execution period input entry is used for receiving execution period configuration information corresponding to each time period input by the merchant end user. For example, the merchant-side user may input the table configuration information with the time period No.1 through the table configuration information input entry, and the execution period corresponding to the configuration information input through the execution period input entry is "monday", so that the merchant-side user does not need to input the pre-ordering configuration information once for each monday.

Further, pre-ordering configuration information input by a merchant-side user is received, where the pre-ordering configuration information includes table configuration information (such as table inventory information) corresponding to each time period and execution cycle configuration information corresponding to each time period. For example, the execution cycle corresponding to the time cycle No.1 is "monday", and in the time cycle, a plurality of unit time periods (days) of "monday" are included.

In step S220, a table reservation rule corresponding to each time period is generated based on the table configuration information.

According to the table configuration information corresponding to each time period in the pre-ordering configuration information received in step S210, the table reservation rule corresponding to the time period is generated, so that the table reservation rule corresponding to each time period is provided, for example, the table reservation rule matching with the time period is generated for the time period No. 1.

Optionally, the table reservation rule may include: table display rules, table instance generation rules, and/or table deduction rules, etc. The table display rule is used for displaying table information based on the rule, and for example, the rule includes a corresponding rendering rule and the like; the table instance generation rule is used for generating a corresponding table instance based on the rule, and the rule comprises the generation time, the generation parameters and the like of the table instance; the table deduction rule is used for deduction of the table stock quantity based on the rule.

In step S230, the table reservation rule is copied to each unit time slot corresponding to the time period based on the execution cycle configuration information.

In the present embodiment, one time period corresponds to a plurality of unit time periods. For example, the execution cycle configuration information is a time cycle No.1 of "monday", and the unit time period corresponding to the time cycle is monday, that is, 8 months and 5 days, 8 months and 12 days, 8 months and 19 days, and the like. Thus, the table reservation rule is copied to each unit time period corresponding to the time period according to the execution period configuration information, such as automatically synchronizing the table reservation rule for "monday" to 8 month 5, 8 month 12, 8 month 19, and so on, thereby eliminating the need for the merchant-side user to manually configure the inventory configuration information for 8 month 5, 8 month 12, and 8 month 19, respectively. Or, when the merchant user wants to synchronize the table configuration information of "monday every week" to "wednesday", the merchant user only needs to link the configured information to the execution period configuration information of "wednesday" through the corresponding copy control. As shown in fig. 3a, the table reservation rule corresponding to "monday every" can be associated to "monday every" through the click operation of the provided "monday every" control, so that the execution period of the time period No.1 is changed from "monday every" to "monday + monday every", thereby facilitating the operation of the merchant end user and improving the user experience.

Optionally, in this embodiment, after step S130, a pre-order request sent by the client user is further received, a unit time period matched with the reservation time is queried, and the table reservation processing is performed by using the table reservation rule corresponding to the unit time period.

For example, if the unit time zone corresponding to the reservation request of the client user is 8 months and 5 days, the table reservation management is performed on the table reservation rule matching with 8 months and 5 days.

Optionally, in the step of performing specific table appointment management, the step of receiving a pre-ordering and ordering request sent by a client user, querying a unit time period matched with the appointment time, and generating a corresponding table appointment instance by using a table instance generation rule corresponding to the unit time period; and updating the table inventory by using the table deduction rule corresponding to the unit time period. In this embodiment, only after the corresponding table appointment rule is generated in steps S210 to S230, but the corresponding table instance is not generated, and the client user sends the pre-ordering request, the corresponding table instance is generated.

Further optionally, in the process of updating the table inventory amount by using the table deduction rule corresponding to the unit time period, specifically, by using the table deduction rule corresponding to the unit time period, the table inventory amount corresponding to the unit time period is updated according to the initial table inventory amount corresponding to the unit time period and the number of the generated table reservation instances corresponding to the unit time period, and further, according to the inventory display rule corresponding to the unit time period, the updated table inventory amount is displayed in a corresponding rendering manner. In an optional implementation manner, if it is monitored that after the client user sends an order placing request, a message of order cancellation or payment failure is further received, the table inventory corresponding to the unit time period is updated and replenished.

Optionally, the embodiment may further receive table configuration information for a special unit time period (for example, inventory information of special dates such as 2 month, 14 days, 10 month, 1 day, and the like), and/or inventory configuration information for an exclusion unit time period (for example, in fig. 3b, 9 month, 8 days, and 9 month, 23 days are determined as exclusion unit time periods, that is, pre-ordering services are not performed in the unit time periods), and generate corresponding inventory management rules for the special unit time period and/or the exclusion unit time periods. In a specific implementation process, the table reservation management is comprehensively performed according to the priority of the inventory management rule corresponding to the special unit time period, the exclusion unit time period and/or the cycle unit time period. Preferably, the priority of the inventory management rule corresponding to the special unit time period, the exclusion unit time period and/or the cycle unit time period is as follows: inventory management rule corresponding to cycle unit time period > inventory management rule corresponding to special unit time period > inventory management rule corresponding to the cycle unit time period. Therefore, flexibility of operation of the merchant end is improved, and user experience is improved.

In this embodiment, in an optional implementation manner, in order to facilitate the fine management of the table in the pre-ordering process, the implementation divides a unit time period into m reservation time periods in advance according to a time period scheme configured by a merchant end user; thus, the pre-ordering configuration information in step S210 includes table configuration information corresponding to each reservation time period in each time period, and step S220 generates a table reservation rule corresponding to each reservation time period in each time period according to the table configuration information corresponding to each reservation time period; in step S240, a pre-ordering request sent by a client user is received, and a reservation time period matching the reservation time is queried; and performing table reservation processing by using the table reservation rule corresponding to the reservation time period. For example, a division is made for a unit time period (day) of the time period No.1 (monday), into "9: 00-11: 00","11: 00-13: 00","13: 00-15: 00 ″ 3 reservation time periods, each of which has corresponding table configuration information (e.g., table inventory amount corresponding to each time period, etc.) for the 3 reservation time periods; further, a table reservation rule corresponding to each reservation time period can be generated for each reservation time period, and the table in the preliminary ordering can be managed with each reservation time period in each time cycle as a management dimension. Finally, if the reservation time period matching the reservation time is queried as "13: 00-15: 00', the desk reservation management is performed by using the desk reservation rule corresponding to the reservation time period.

In this embodiment, in another optional implementation, in order to further implement refined management of reserved products, in this implementation, a unit time period is divided into m reserved time periods in advance according to a time period scheme configured by a merchant end user; determining n table types according to a table type scheme configured by a merchant-side user; and binding the m reservation time periods and the n table types one by one to obtain m-n reservation table objects. Thus, the pre-ordering configuration information in step S210 includes table configuration information corresponding to each reserved table object in each time period, step S220 is to generate a table reservation rule corresponding to each reserved table object in each time period according to the table configuration information corresponding to each reserved table object, and step S240 is to receive a pre-ordering request sent by a client user and query the reserved table object matching the reserved time and the reserved table type; the table reservation processing is performed by using the table reservation rule corresponding to the reserved table object. As shown in fig. 3c, the unit time period (day) for the time cycle No.1 (monday) is divided into "9: 00-11: 30","11: 30-13: 00","13: 00-17: 30","17: 30-20: 30 ", and 3 table types are provided, so that by one-to-one binding of each reservation time period and each table type, 4 × 3 (i.e. 12) reservation objects can be obtained, specifically" 9: 00-11: 30 "+" two-person table "," 9: 00-11: 30 "+" four-person table "… …. For each table reservation object in the 12 reservation objects, an inventory management rule corresponding to the reservation object is generated, so that the table reservation object (namely, the combination of the reservation time period and the table type) is taken as a management dimension, and the fine reservation management of the table is realized. Finally, if the reservation object matching the reservation time is queried as "9: 00-11: 30 '+' two-person table, the reservation management is performed by using the table reservation rule of the table reservation object. Optionally, in a specific implementation, only when a "9: 00-11: when the table reservation object 30 ' + ' two-person table ' is reserved and ordered, the corresponding table instance is generated according to the table reservation rule corresponding to the table reservation object, and the residual amount of the corresponding table is updated (namely stock reduction), so that the storage resource is saved.

Therefore, in the table management process of ordering food in advance, the business end user can complete reservation management of the tables in multiple unit time periods only by inputting a small amount of table configuration information, the operation flow of the business end user is greatly simplified, the efficiency is improved, and the user experience is improved.
