It more than is the explanation of 26S Proteasome Structure and Function of the electronic bin tag system 1 of present embodiment.Then, use electronic bin tag system 1, the display packing of the guide information 133 of display of commodity 6 is described.
Fig. 9 is the process flow diagram of the method for the expression guide information 133 that uses electronic bin tag system 1 display of commodity 6.
At first, the operator starts electronic bin tag system 1, makes electronic bin tag system 1 carry out first display process (step S11).Wherein, so-called first display process is when electronic bin tag system 1 input power supply, the processing that electronic bin tag system 1 automatically performs, be stored in commodity reference information 140 and chained file 141 in the hard disk 14 during according to startup, carried out the processing of the demonstration of original state.In other words, also can be called the processing of the show state recovery of the electronic bin tag system 1 when making the power supply of turning off electronic bin tag system 1.
Figure 10 is the process flow diagram of the first performed display process of expression electronic bin tag system 1.
When by electronic bin tag system 1 beginning first display process, generating unit 112 by ESL server 10 obtains about the commercial product code of commodity 6 and the device code (step S22) corresponding with this commercial product code from a record 142 that is referenced with reference to record 142 (for example top record 142) (step S21) of chained file 141.And this is equivalent to chained file 141 is specified commercial product code from the commodity 6 that generate guide information 133 to generating unit 112.
Then, generating unit 112 with reference to commodity reference information 140, obtains the information that is associated with this commercial product code (with represented commodity of this commercial product code 6 relevant information) (step S23) according to (appointed) commercial product code of obtaining in commodity reference information 140.
And in the present embodiment, the related all information of record of commodity reference information 140 is obtained at step S23.But, also can constitute and not obtain all information that record is related, and only obtain an information that writes down the necessity in the information that is comprised.
In addition, details is narrated in the back, in the electronic bin tag system 1 of present embodiment, when having carried out under the situation of alignment processing about the commodity 6 that are not registered in the commodity reference information 140, according to temporary information 132, these commodity 6 are registered in the commodity reference information 140.In other words, constitute,, must be registered in commodity reference information 140 for the corresponding commodity 6 of quilt in chained file 141.Thereby in the electronic bin tag system 1 of present embodiment, according to the commercial product code of obtaining from chained file 141, the terpinyl definite message or answer breath 140 of going into business is surely obtained a record.
Then, a record of the commodity reference information of obtaining according to the device code of obtaining at step S22 with at step S23 140, generating unit 112 generates guide informations 133 (step S24).That is,, generate guide information 133 based on commodity reference information 140 by generating unit 112.
When the information that acts as a guide 133 was generated, data communication section 18 according to the device code that comprises in this guide information 133, sent this guide information 133 (step S25) to the electronic shelf label 5 shown in this device code with reference to the guide information 133 that generates.
When corresponding electronic shelf label 5 receives the guide information 133 that is sent out in step S25 (step S26), this electronic shelf label 5 (control part 53) suitably makes display 51 show the information (step S27) that comprises in the guide information 133 that receives.
Then, ESL server 10 judge referring now to a record 142 of chained file 141 whether be the final entry (step S28) of chained file 141, under the situation that is not final entry, next record 142 (step S29) with reference to chained file 141 carries out the processing that begins from step S22 repeatedly.Thus, successively with reference to chained file 141 all the record 142.On the other hand, under the situation of the final entry that a record 142 of the chained file 141 of reference is a chained file 141, electronic bin tag system 1 finishes first display process.
Thus, at all commodity 6 corresponding with electronic shelf label 5 in chained file 141, guide information 133 is sent to the electronic shelf label 5 corresponding with this commodity 6 and is shown.
Herein, with in Fig. 4 for example the chained file 141 of expression to be stored in the situation that starts electronic bin tag system 1 under the state in the hard disk 14 be example, first display process is carried out specific description.
Step S21 and step S29 are carried out successively, if supposition record 142c in step S29 is referenced, then obtain commercial product code " 49123456 " and the device code " 12345678 " corresponding with it from this record 142c in step S22.
In step S23, be retrieved according to commercial product code " 49123456 " commodity reference information 140, a record that stores commercial product code " 49123456 " is referenced.Then, by generating unit 112,, obtain commercial product code " 49123456 ", trade name " moisture moistens shampoo ", price " 498 " etc. as the information that is stored in this record.
Then, execution in step S24 by generating unit 112, generates the guide information 133 comprise device code " 12345678 " and commercial product code " 49123456 ", trade name " moisture moistens shampoo ", price information such as " 498 ".Then, in step S25, with reference to the device code " 12345678 " that is included in the guide information 133, the electronic shelf label 5 represented to this device code " 12345678 " sends this guide information 133 by data communication section 18.
In step S26, the device code shows this guide information 133 for the electronic shelf label 5 (electronic shelf label 5 shown in Figure 7) of " 12345678 " is received in the guide information 133 that is sent out among the step S25 by step S27 in display 51.
Thus, as shown in Figure 6, trade name " moisture moistens shampoo " is shown as trade name 6a, and commercial product code " 49123456 " is shown as bar code 6b, and price " 498 " is shown as price 6c.That is, the relevant information that is stored in these commodity 6 in the commodity reference information 140 is shown.
More than, be the explanation of first display process of step S11.
Be back to Fig. 9, when first display process shown in the step S11 finished, electronic bin tag system 1 became holding state.Whether under holding state, whether electronic bin tag system 1 surveillance operator (operator) has selected alignment processing (step S12), indicated and carried out the more processing of new commodity reference information 140 (step S16).
The new commodity 6 that carry out arrival in the operator of ESL server 10 expectation be configured in these commodity 6 near the situation of alignment processing of electronic shelf label 5 under, this operator operates the input part 16 of ESL server 10, selects the indication of alignment processing to electronic bin tag system 1 input.Generally speaking, ESL server 10 is configured in the backhouse in the shop.That is, this operator's processing is not to carry out at the vend space that disposes commodity shelf 60, but carries out at backhouse.Therefore, at this moment the electronic shelf label at hand 5 that is present in the operator is the electronic shelf labels that also are not installed in the state on the commodity shelf 60, after the alignment processing of carrying out with commodity 6, move into vend space, and be installed in the position of the regulation of the corresponding framework 62 of lattice commodity shelf 60 and these commodity 6 of mounting 61.Like this, in the following description, the alignment processing of using ESL server 10 to carry out the operator is called " preceding alignment processing is set ".
On the other hand, carry out under the situation of same alignment processing in the operator expectation of carrying handheld scanner 7, the enter key 76 of this operator operation handheld scanner 7 is selected the indication of alignment processing to electronic bin tag system 1 input.The device because handheld scanner 7 is of portable form can be from the structure of handheld scanner 7 input indications, not only at backhouse, even also can indicate alignment processing at the vend space that is provided with commodity shelf 60 by constituting.That is, under the state that electronic shelf label 5 is installed on the commodity shelf 60, can carry out alignment processing, compare, can suppress the setup error of electronic shelf label 5 with the situation that electronic shelf label 5 is installed after alignment processing.Like this, in the following description, the alignment processing of using handheld scanner 7 to carry out operator is called " the back alignment processing is set ".But, the back alignment processing be set be not strictly be defined as electronic shelf label 5 is installed on the commodity shelf 60 after and the processing that is performed for example also can be carried out being about to install under the state of electronic shelf label 5 at once.That is, so-called herein " the back alignment processing is set " is meant the alignment processing of being undertaken by operation handheld scanner 7 all the time.
When receiving the indication of selecting alignment processing (preceding alignment processing is set or the back alignment processing is set), electronic bin tag system 1 is judged as Yes in step S12, be converted to the appointment waiting status, this appointment waiting status is accepted the appointment of the commodity 6 that carry out alignment processing and the appointment of electronic shelf label 5 that should be corresponding with this commodity 6.
Figure 11 is the figure that is illustrated in picture displayed 150 in the alignment processing for example.
In picture 150, be provided with the device code that is used to import corresponding electronic shelf label 5 device code input field 150a, be used to import the commercial product code input field 150b and the register button 150c of the commercial product code of corresponding commodity 6.By showing such picture 150, the operator can easily understand must input media code and commercial product code.
And, in the present embodiment, for the convenience on illustrating, the display 15 of ELS server 10 not only, at the display 75 of handheld scanner 7 also as can picture displayed (picture 150 etc.) describing.But the device of movable-type (handheld scanner 7) is compared with the device (ESL server 10) of fixed, has the situation of hardware performance difference.Therefore, under the display 75 of handheld scanner 7 does not have situation with the equal performance of the display 15 of ESL server 10, also can be in display 15 picture displayed with different in display 75 picture displayed.
Then, specify in the alignment processing by corresponding mutually commodity 6 and electronic shelf label 5 (step S13).Promptly, when picture 150 is shown, the operator uses barcode reader 17, operator uses barcode reader 77, read additional (perhaps printing) bar code (being used to represent commercial product code) on new commodity 6, and read near the device code 5b of the electronic shelf label 5 that is configured in these commodity 6.And, suppose that the electronic shelf label 5 in the present embodiment shows device code 5b under not corresponding with commodity 6 original state in display 51.
Figure 12 is illustrated in the alignment processing mutually by the commodity 6 of correspondence and electronic shelf label 5 for example by the commercial product code that is transfused to and the figure of the appointed situation of device code.As shown in figure 12, in the device code input field 150a of picture 150, show obtained device code " 12345670 ", in the commercial product code input field 150b of picture 150, show obtained commercial product code " 49123492 ".Thereby the operator's (or operator) who has carried out the read operation of bar code can confirm that by confirming the content of picture 150 commercial product code of commodity 6 and the device code of electronic shelf label 5 are normally obtained.
If commercial product code and device code are normally obtained, then operator's (or operator) is by the register button 150c of demonstration in the operation screen 150, according to obtained commercial product code and device code, the alignment processing of commodity 6 and electronic shelf label 5 is carried out in indication.By this operation, on the RAM13 of ESL server 10, generate commodity appointed information 130 and device appointed information 131, commodity 6 and electronic shelf label 5 are designated.
When step S13 shown in Figure 9 is performed, then,, carry out the alignment processing (step S14) of commodity 6 and electronic shelf label 5 by electronic bin tag system 1.
In step S14, link portions 110 obtains commodity appointed information 130 and the device appointed information 131 that generates at step S13, by making the commercial product code and the device code that are included in them interrelated, makes a record 142, and is registered in the chained file 141.
Figure 13 is the figure that represents chained file 141 for example.Figure 13 is illustrated under the chained file shown in Figure 4 141 stored states, according to the situation of device code shown in Figure 12 and commercial product code execution alignment processing.Comparison diagram 4 and Figure 13 obviously as can be known, appending registration in chained file shown in Figure 13 has a new record 142f.And, in this record 142f, storing the commercial product code " 49123492 " and the device code " 12345670 " that show among Figure 12, they are logically corresponding mutually.
Like this, electronic bin tag system 1 in the present embodiment is under the appointed situation of the commodity 6 that should carry out alignment processing, do not judge whether these commodity 6 have been registered in the commodity reference information 140, and in chained file 141, register, carry out alignment processing.In addition, details describes successively, in case the record 142 that has been made into not can because of these commodity 6 whether be registered in the commodity reference information 140 after deleted, in case the alignment processing of having carried out can be because of not being disabled that have or not of the registration of the commodity in the commodity reference information 140 6.
Thus, the operator of shop side (or operator) also registers to commodity reference information 140 earlier for unregistered commodity 6 in commodity reference information 140, can carry out alignment processing.Therefore, for example, there is no need to stop operation in the shop side until (final commodity reference information 140 be made into till) till the final indication that obtains from our department center.That is, operator's (or operator) there is no need to take notice of whether these commodity 6 are registered in commodity reference information 140 when the indication alignment processing.
When the alignment processing of step S14 is performed, then, carry out second display process (step S15).Second display process is to make guide informations 133 at commodity be carried out alignment processing again in step S14 after 6, makes the processing that shows in the electronic shelf label 5 corresponding with this commodity 6.
As illustrated in first display process (step S11), in the present embodiment, for unregistered commodity 6 (not carrying out the commodity 6 of alignment processing) in chained file 141, even for example be registered in the commodity 6 (for the commodity of selling) in the commodity reference information 140, also can not show guide information 133.This be because, for unregistered commodity 6 in chained file 141, because the not designated electronic shelf label 5 that should show guide information 133, so electronic bin tag system 1 can not show guide information 133 at first.But,, be judged as the commodity 6 that also do not need to show guide information 133 so such commodity 6 can be regarded as by operator's (perhaps operator) because unregistered commodity 6 in chained file 141 are the commodity 6 that also are not instructed to show guide information 133.
The electronic bin tag system 1 of present embodiment will be regarded demonstration indication about the guide information 133 of these commodity 6 as to the registration indication of the commodity 6 of chained file 141.Therefore, when new commodity 6 being carried out alignment processing (to the registration of chained file) with electronic shelf label 5, must carry out second display process to these commodity 6 by execution in step S14.Thus, by carrying out first display process and second display process that when starting, always is performed in the lump, can all commodity 6 that be registered in the chained file 141 be shown.But, also can will be defined as different indications with demonstration indication to the registration indication of the commodity 6 of chained file 141 about the guide information 133 of these commodity 6.
Figure 14 is the process flow diagram of expression second display process.
When second display process was begun, generating unit 112 obtained the commercial product code that has been carried out corresponding commodity 6 in step S14 again by obtaining commodity appointed information 130.Then, the commercial product code that will obtain from commodity appointed information 130 is as the retrieval key message, and 112 pairs of commodity reference informations 140 of generating unit are retrieved (step S31).
Then, according to the result for retrieval (in a record of commodity reference information 140, whether storing this commercial product code) of step S31, judge whether the represented commodity of this commercial product code 6 are registered in (step S32) in the commodity reference information 140.
Under these commodity 6 registered situations in commodity reference information 140 (in step S32 for being (Yes)), generating unit 112 obtains a record (record relevant with this commodity 6) of commodity reference information 140, generates corresponding device code and guide information 133 (step S33).
Generating unit 112 obtains the device code corresponding with this commercial product code of obtaining from commodity appointed information 130 by reference chained file 141 in step S33.In the moment that step S33 is performed, step S14 is performed, and this commercial product code is registered in the chained file 141 by link portions 110.Therefore, in chained file 141, become the state that must have the device code corresponding with this commercial product code.Wherein, in step S33, generating unit 112 also can be from device appointed information 131 acquisition device codes.
Under the commodity of being represented by the commercial product code of obtaining from commodity appointed information 130 6 are not registered in situation the commodity reference information 140 (in step S32 for not), the CPU11 of ESL server 10 urges input temporary information 132, and electronic bin tag system 1 becomes the state of the input of waiting for temporary information 132.
Figure 15 is the figure of the picture 151 of for example expression input of urging temporary information 132.In Figure 15, expression is according to commercial product code shown in Figure 12 (commercial product code of obtaining), these commodity 6 (commercial product code) are registered in chained file 141 as shown in Figure 13, but these commodity 6 (commercial product code) are not registered in the situation in the commodity reference information 140.
As shown in figure 15, in picture 151, with " unregistered in the commodity reference information.Can import any project " such message together, be provided with and show commercial product code input field 151a, temporary information project input field 151b, pause button 151c and interim register button 151d.
Shown commercial product code is to be performed the commercial product code that alignment processing is registered in the commodity 6 in the chained file 141 at step S14 among the commercial product code input field 151a, and is the commercial product code that is not registered in the commodity 6 in the commodity reference information 140.
Temporary information project input field 151b is that expression can be as the hurdle of the project of the information of temporary information 132 input.As shown in figure 15, in the present embodiment, " trade name ", " shelf number " and " price " can still be not limited to these projects certainly as temporary information 132 inputs.In addition, these projects are projects arbitrarily, therefore, also can not import in these projects part or all.Wherein, so-called shelf number is the information of lattice 61 that is used to discern the commodity shelf 60 of these commodity 6 of mounting.
By showing such picture 151, operator or operator can know that in step S13 the commodity 6 of indicating (specifying) alignment processing are also unregistered commodity 6 in commodity reference information 140.In addition, at these commodity 6, can easily confirm which type of information can be shown as guide information 133 as unregistered commodity.
Though detailed icon not among Figure 14 in the moment of display frame 151, is ended under the situation of alignment processing (if unregistered commodity are not then carrying out under the situation of alignment processing) operator's (or operator) operation pause button 151c in expectation.When accepting this operation, electronic bin tag system 1 is ended the generation (generation of guide information 133 and demonstration are also ended) at the temporary information 132 of the commodity of being represented by this commercial product code 6, and, from the chained file 141 deletions record 142 corresponding with this commercial product code.That is, in example shown in Figure 15, when termination button 151c is operated, from chained file shown in Figure 13 141 deletion records 142, being disabled of alignment processing.Like this, in the electronic bin tag system 1 of present embodiment, constitute and to select to keep or the releasing alignment processing according to the operator of shop side or the meaning of operator.
Keep in expectation under the situation of alignment processing, according to picture 151, operator's (or operator) carries out the input (step S34) of any project of temporary information 132.
Figure 16 is the figure of the situation of representing that for example temporary information 132 is transfused to.As shown in figure 16, in temporary information project input field 151b, show the information that is transfused to.Thus, whether wrong in the information that operator or operator can be confirmed to be imported.
Under the faultless situation, by operation inputting part 16 or enter key 76, the interim register button 151d of picture 151 is operated in the information of input.Then, when this operation is carried out,, on RAM13, generate temporary information 132 according to the information that is transfused to.
Like this, when being generated, generate guide informations 133 (step S35) by generating unit 112 with respect to temporary information 132 by the commodity 6 of commodity appointed information 130 appointments.
Processing to step S35 describes, at first, production department 112 commercial product code in the commodity appointed information 130, expression generate the identifying information (temporary information identifier) of situation of guide informations 133 according to temporary information 132 and the information that is included in temporary information 132 generates guide information 133 according to being included in.That is, in the guide information 133 that in step S35, generates, comprise expression has generated the situation of this guide information 133 according to temporary information 132 temporary information identifier.
In addition, generating unit 112 transmits the commercial product code that is included in the commodity appointed information 130, expression has generated the situation of guide information 133 according to temporary information 132 identifying information (temporary information identifier) and temporary information 132 to commodity reference information management department 111.
Commodity reference information management department 111 is according to the commercial product code that transmits from generating unit 112, generate the new record of commodity reference information 140, temporary information 132 and the expression that similarly is transmitted is stored in this record according to the temporary information identifier that temporary information 132 generates the situation of guide information 133.Promptly, be registered in the commodity reference information 140 by the commodity that this commercial product code is represented 6 (in step S32, being judged as the commodity 6 that also are not registered in the commodity reference information 140) temporarily, make the content of reflection temporary information 132 in commodity reference information 140.
In addition, in the record of making according to temporary information 132 as mentioned above (record of commodity reference information 140), comprise the temporary information identifier of representing its purport.Therefore, after processing in, show the commodity 6 of the record store this temporary information identifier by guide look only, for example, also can easily confirm also not obtain the commodity 6 of final indication information from our department center.
When the interim registration of commodity reference information 140 is finished, commodity reference information management department 111 will represent that the information of the situation that commodity reference information 140 has been updated is sent to data communication section 18 with this interim record of registering, and data communication section 18 sends it to POS server 31.Thus, at the commodity 6 that are registered in the commodity reference information 140 temporarily, the commodity reference information 301 of POS system 3 sides is updated.As shown in figure 16, the situation that comprises " price " of these commodity 6 in the existence temporary information 132 in the present embodiment.In store information system 100, even,, just must carry out actuarial according to this price since price is shown for example based on the demonstration of temporary information 132.Therefore, the commodity reference information 301 of POS system 3 sides of the price of preferred unified management commodity 6 also is updated according to temporary information 132.
After generating the guide information 133 of commodity 6 by execution in step S33 or step S35, by electronic bin tag system 1 execution in step S36～S38, the guide information 133 of generation is sent and is shown to electronic shelf label 5.Wherein, step S36～S38 is because be the processing identical with step S25 shown in Figure 10～S27, so detailed.
Figure 17 is expression is displayed on the example of electronic shelf label 5 according to the guide information 133 of temporary information 132 generations figure.Figure 17 represents to generate temporary information 132 according to information shown in Figure 16, generates the situation of guide information 133 then according to this temporary information 132.
As shown in figure 17, in the display 51 of electronic shelf label 5, the trade name " moist shampoo ", shelf number " 12-3 " and the price " 498 " that are transfused to as any project (temporary information 132) are shown as trade name 6a, price 6c and shelf number 6e respectively.Because these projects are any projects, so, then be not shown if for example be not included in the guide information 133 (temporary information 132).In addition, be included in commercial product code " 49123492 " in the guide information 133 is displayed on electronic shelf label 5 as bar code 6b display 51.
