Detailed Description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

See fig. 1, which shows a structural schematic of the package warehousing related equipment provided by the present application. As shown in fig. 1, the scanning device and the weighing device are respectively connected to a computer, and a weighing program and a browser are provided on the computer.

When the packages are put in storage, an operator places the packages on a weighing device, a weighing program reads the weight of the packages measured by the weighing device and sends the weight of the packages to a browser, and the browser displays the weight of the packages in a package storage interface. The operator uses the scanning gun to scan the freight note number of the package, the scanning gun sends the freight note number to the browser, and the browser displays the freight note number on a package warehousing interface.

After confirming the parcel invoice number and the parcel weight, an operator clicks a confirmation button on a parcel warehousing interface, triggers a browser to establish a binding relationship between the invoice number and the weight indication number, and records the invoice number, the weight indication number and the binding relationship in a local or server to finish warehousing of the parcel.

In the process of warehousing a plurality of packages, the problem may exist that an operator forgets to take the previous package away from the weighing equipment after weighing and warehousing the previous package, and directly warehouses the next package, but the weight of the package is just lighter, the package does not need to be weighed according to the specification, and the package is directly warehoused with the default first weight. Therefore, the operator directly scans the freight note number of the package, but the weight reading of the former package is still displayed on the warehousing interface because the former package is not taken down, so that the freight note number of the latter package is correct when the latter package is warehoused, but the warehousing weight reading is the weight reading of the former package, and the warehousing weight of the package is inaccurate.

Alternatively, there may be a rare case where the operator forgets to take the previous parcel away from the weighing apparatus after weighing and warehousing the previous parcel, and directly weighs and warehouses the next parcel. Therefore, the weight of the next parcel in storage is not the actual self weight, and the weight of the previous parcel is included, so that the weight of the parcel in storage is inaccurate.

The inventor researches the above conditions and finds that the reason for inaccurate package warehousing is that the packages on the weighing equipment are not taken away before the weight readings of the packages to be warehoused are read, so that a package warehousing method can be provided to ensure that the weight of the packages measured by the weighing equipment is 0 before the packages are warehoused.

To achieve the above inventive idea, the present application provides at least the following three embodiments. The three embodiments are all applied to computing equipment to realize automatic monitoring of package warehousing processes.

Example one

Referring to fig. 2, a flow of a first embodiment of a parcel warehousing method provided by the present application is shown, including the following steps S201 to S210.

S201: and the weighing program detects that the weighing equipment is successfully connected to the computer and sends a successful connection instruction to the browser.

In practical application, the weighing device may be connected to a computing device such as a computer through a serial port or the like, and the weighing program may be regarded as a driver of the weighing device and used to perform operations such as connection management and reading of readings on the weighing device.

After the weighing program detects that the weighing device is successfully connected to the computer, an instruction can be sent to the browser to inform the browser that the weighing device is successfully connected.

S202: the browser sets the value of the preset weight-counting reset mark to be a first value.

The weighing and resetting mark is preset, such as weight reset, and is used for indicating whether the current weight reading number of the weighing equipment is 0 or not, and intuitively speaking, the weighing and resetting mark can reflect whether articles such as packages are placed on the weighing equipment or not.

The first value is used to indicate that the current weight indication of the weighing apparatus is 0, and may be any value set in advance, such as true. Of course, the override flag and the first value are merely exemplary and may be in other forms as would be understood and contemplated by those skilled in the art.

When the weighing apparatus is successfully connected, no package is typically placed, so the initial value of the weight counter flag may be set to a first value.

S203: the weighing program sends an indication of the weight measured by the weighing apparatus to the browser.

It should be noted that the present step is not limited to being performed after step S202, and the weighing program may send the weight readings to the browser as long as the weight readings are generated on the weighing apparatus and sent to the weighing program.

The browser communicates with the weighing program to receive in real time the weight readings sent by the weighing program. In particular, the browser may communicate with the weighing program using the websocket protocol. The websocket protocol is a full-duplex communication protocol and can realize two-way communication between a browser and a weighing program.

The weighing device can be sent to the browser through the weighing program as long as it generates a weight reading. If no package is placed on the weighing apparatus, the weight indication sent by the weighing program is 0. If the package to be warehoused is placed on the weighing device, the weight indication sent by the weighing program is the package weight measured by the weighing device, for example, 2.

S204: and the browser displays the current weight readings in a package warehousing interface.

As shown in fig. 1, a package warehousing interface may be displayed in the browser, and the package warehousing interface includes a package weight input box. And after the browser receives the weight readings, filling the weight readings into the input box to prompt an operator of the weight of the package.

Likewise, the step is not limited to be executed after step S202, and as long as the weighing program sends the weight readings to the browser, the browser displays the weight readings on the package warehousing interface in real time.

S205: the scanning device sends the invoice number to the browser.

Wherein, after the operator placed the parcel on weighing device, can use scanning equipment to scan the waybill number of parcel, for example use the rifle to scan the bar code or the scan code of two-dimensional code form on the parcel, obtain the waybill number after the analysis scan code.

And after the scanning equipment obtains the invoice number, sending the invoice number to the browser.

S206: and the browser displays the current invoice number in the package warehousing interface.

As shown in fig. 1, the parcel warehousing interface includes not only a parcel weight input box but also an invoice number input box. And after receiving the invoice number, the browser fills the invoice number into the input box so as to prompt the operator of the invoice number of the package.

Similarly, the execution sequence of step S205 and step S206 is not limited to this, and the waybill number is sent to the browser as long as the scanning device parses the waybill number, and the browser displays the waybill number in the package warehousing interface as long as the browser receives the waybill number.

S207: after receiving the parcel warehousing instruction, the browser determines whether the value of the weight-counting reset mark is a first value, if so, executes step S208, and if not, executes step S209.

The parcel warehousing instruction can be generated by the operation of an operator or automatically generated by a computer. For example, after determining the weight indication and the freight note number on the package warehousing interface, the operator clicks the determination button on the package warehousing interface, so as to generate a package warehousing instruction. Or after the browser displays the invoice number on the package warehousing interface, the computer automatically generates a package warehousing instruction after a preset time length. The main purpose of setting the preset duration is to display the invoice number and the parcel weight on a warehousing interface for a period of time for an operator to confirm. The value of the preset duration can be set according to actual requirements, and of course, if the confirmation by an operator is not needed to improve the package warehousing efficiency, the value can be set to 0.

If the browser determines that the value of the weight-measuring reset mark is the first value, which indicates that the previous package on the weighing apparatus has been removed, step S208 may be executed.

S208: and the browser correspondingly stores the current weight reading and the current waybill number and sets the value of the weight-counting reset mark as a second value.

The weight readings and the waybill number are correspondingly stored in a mode that the weight readings and the waybill number are stored as a group. Or, a binding relationship between the weight readings and the waybill number may be established, and the weight readings, the waybill number and the binding relationship may be saved. And correspondingly storing the weight readings and the freight note number, and indicating that the warehousing operation of the package corresponding to the freight note number is finished.

The browser can correspondingly store the weight readings and the waybill number in the local or a remote server.

It should be noted that when the browser completes the warehousing operation of the package, the current package is not even removed from the weighing device, so the value of the weight-counting reset mark can be set to the second value. The second value is used to indicate that the current weight indication of the weighing apparatus is not 0, e.g., false. The purpose of this step is to modify the value of the weight-counting reset flag from the first value to another value, so the second value may be any value other than the first value.

If the operator removes the package from the weighing apparatus, step S210 is executed to modify the weight-measuring flag from the second value to the first value again. Therefore, when the next parcel is put in storage, if the judgment result in step S207 is still yes, the storage operation for the next parcel is executed.

However, if the operator does not remove the package from the weighing apparatus, step S210 is not performed, and thus the weight-measuring reset flag remains at the second value. When the subsequent parcel is put in storage, the judgment result in step S207 is no, and step S209 is executed.

S209: and the browser outputs prompt information.

The prompt information indicates that the current weight indication number of the weighing equipment is not 0, and is used for reminding an operator to clean the currently placed articles on the weighing equipment.

The prompt information output by the browser may be to display a prompt box. For example, the prompt box displayed is "please clean the item on the weighing apparatus". Alternatively, the browser may send a sound instruction to a computer or a sound module of the weighing apparatus to cause the sound module to output prompt information in the form of sound.

S210: the browser compares the weight reading currently sent by the weighing program with the previous weight reading, and if the current weight reading is equal to 0 and the previous weight reading is greater than 0, the browser sets the value of the weight-counting reset mark as a first value.

It should be noted that, as shown in step S203, the weighing program sends the weight readings to the browser many times, and the browser may continuously record the two weight readings that are received last. For ease of description, the last weight reading received is referred to as the current weight reading and the last weight reading received is referred to as the previous weight reading. The browser also needs to make a determination on the current weight reading and the previous weight reading. The specific content of the judgment is that whether the current weight reading is 0 and the previous weight reading is more than 0, if so, the value of the weight-counting reset mark is set as a first value.

In a normal warehousing process, an operator places a package on the weighing device, and after the package finishes warehousing operation, the package is taken down from the weighing device. In this process, the weighing program sends a weight indication to the browser of greater than 0 and then a weight indication to the browser of 0. Therefore, after the browser receives the two weight readings and performs the above determination on the two weight readings, the determination result is definitely yes, and the value of the weight-counting reset flag is set to be the first value.

In the process of warehousing the current parcel, step S207 needs to determine whether the value of the weight-counting reset flag is the first value. Since the value of the weight-counting reset flag is set to the first value in this step, the determination result is yes, and the package warehousing operation of step S208 is performed.

However, in real-world applications, there may be instances where the measurement of the weighing apparatus is not stable, and thus, a set of weight readings may be time-sequenced into a first half and a second half. If the first half group has a plurality of weight readings larger than 0 and the second half group has a plurality of weight readings equal to 0, the browser may set the value of the weight-counting reset flag to the first value.

It should be noted that the execution sequence of some steps in the above embodiments is not limited to that shown in fig. 2, and may be executed as long as its own execution condition is satisfied.

According to the technical scheme, the parcel warehousing method provided by the embodiment uses the weight-counting reset mark to indicate whether the current weight reading of the weighing equipment is 0, and sets the weight-counting reset mark to be the first value capable of indicating that the current weight reading is 0 after the parcel is judged to be taken away from the weighing equipment. Before the parcel enters the warehouse, whether the weight-counting reset mark is a first value or not needs to be judged, the parcel is warehoused only under the condition of the first value, otherwise, prompt information is output, and therefore the accuracy of the weight of the warehoused parcel is guaranteed.

In addition, in the prior art, if the weight of the parcels in the warehouse is in a problem, the problem can be solved only by manually checking the weight report of each parcel, and the parcel warehousing efficiency is low. In the application, once the weight of the parcels entering the warehouse is in a problem, the parcels with the problems can be monitored in time, and an operator is prompted to process the parcels, so that the parcel entering efficiency is improved.

In the above embodiment, the step of setting the value of the weight-counting reset flag to the first value may be replaced by generating a weight-counting reset flag bit. Both of these ways are for setting the weight-reset flag.

Suitably, the step of determining whether the value of the weight-counting reset flag is the first value may be replaced by determining whether a weight-counting reset flag bit exists. Both of these ways are to determine whether a reset-by-weight flag is present.

The step of updating the value of the weight-counting reset flag from the first value to the second value or any value other than the first value may be replaced by deleting the weight-counting reset flag. Both of these ways are to delete the reset-by-weight flag.

In order to facilitate understanding of the technical solution of the first embodiment, the package warehousing process is exemplified as follows.

Before entering the warehouse, the operator needs to connect the electronic scale and the gun to the computer. The weighing program runs on the computer and can monitor the connection process of the electronic scale, and if the electronic scale is monitored to be successfully connected with the computer, a successful connection instruction can be sent to a browser of the computer.

And after receiving the instruction of successful connection, the browser sets the initial value of the weight reset identifier weight reset to true.

When the operator puts the parcel in storage, the parcel is placed on an electronic scale. Assuming that the electronic scale measures that the weight of the package is 2, the electronic scale sends an electric signal with the weight of 2 to the weighing program, and the weighing program analyzes the electric signal to obtain a weight indication 2 and then sends the weight indication 2 to the browser. The browser displays a package warehousing interface, and displays the weight indication number 2 in a weight frame of the interface.

The operator scans the gun for the order number of the package and sends the gun to the browser. And the browser displays the freight note number in a freight note number frame of the package warehousing interface. And after confirming the weight indication number and the freight note number of the package, the operator clicks a confirmation button on a package warehousing interface, and triggers to generate a package warehousing instruction and sends the package warehousing instruction to the browser.

And (4) the browser judges that the value of the weight reset mark is true (the warehousing condition is weight reset is true), and establishes and stores the corresponding relation between the weight indicating number and the freight note number, thereby completing the warehousing of the package. To ensure that the weight reading of the next package is accurate, the browser sets the value of the weight reset flag weight reset to false.

If the operator removes the package from the electronic scale, the weight indication of the electronic scale changes from greater than 0 to equal to 0 and remains at 0 until the next package is not placed. As previously mentioned, the electronic scale may continuously send weight readings to the browser at intervals, or may send the changed weight readings to the browser as the weight readings change. In either case, the electronic scale may send a weight indication of 0 to the browser via the weighing program. The browser compares the weight reading number with the previous weight reading number, finds that the previous weight reading number is greater than 0 and the weight reading number is equal to 0, and sets the value of the weight reset mark weight reset to true for warehousing judgment of the next package.

And returning to execute the step of placing the packages on the electronic scale and warehousing according to the flow if the operator performs warehousing operation on the next package.

If the operator does not remove the package from the electronic scale, the weight reset flag weight reset is still false. And the operator continues to put the next parcel in storage, and if the next parcel is a light-weight parcel which does not need to be weighed, the operator does not put the next parcel on an electronic scale for weighing, but directly uses the gun to scan the freight note number of the parcel. The waybill number displayed on the browser at this time is the waybill number of the package, but the weight is the weight of the previous package. If the operator does not find the situation, after clicking a confirmation button on the warehousing interface, the browser judges that the value of the weight-counting reset mark is not true, the next parcel is not warehoused, and a prompt box is output to prompt the operator to clear the previous parcel on the electronic scale, so that the accuracy of the weight of the warehoused parcel is ensured.

In order to solve the problem that the weight of the packages in a warehouse is inaccurate, the invention idea of the application is to ensure that no other packages and other articles exist on the weighing equipment before the packages are weighed.

In the first embodiment, it is determined that the parcel is taken down from the weighing device based on the indication number of the weighing device changing from a number greater than 0 to 0, and it is further determined that no other articles such as parcels are present on the weighing device before the parcel is weighed. Under the instruction of the above inventive idea, the present application further provides the following second embodiment, which directly determines whether the weight index of the weighing device before the weighing of the package is 0.

Example two

Referring to fig. 3, a flow of a second parcel warehousing method embodiment provided by the present application is shown, and specifically includes the following steps S301 to 309.

S301: and the weighing program detects that the weighing equipment is successfully connected to the computer and sends a successful connection instruction to the browser.

S302: the weighing program sends an indication of the weight measured by the weighing apparatus to the browser.

S303: and after the browser receives the weight readings currently, if the current weight readings are different from the previous weight readings, recording the current weight readings and the previous weight readings correspondingly.

It should be noted that, this step and the subsequent steps are not limited to be executed successively, and as long as the browser receives the weight readings sent by the weighing device for multiple times, and the weight readings satisfy the above conditions, the corresponding recording action in this step may be executed. Of course, after receiving the weight indication, the browser may also perform an operation of displaying the weight indication on the package warehousing interface in the subsequent step S304.

In practice, the weighing apparatus may continuously send weight indications to the browser via the weighing program at regular intervals. When the browser receives a weight reading, whether the weight reading is different from the previous weight reading or not needs to be judged, and if the weight reading is different from the previous weight reading, the weight reading and the previous weight reading can be correspondingly recorded.

For example, the weighing device measures the weight of a parcel as 2, and during a time period when the parcel is not removed from the weighing device, the weighing device may always send a weight indication of 2 to the browser, and the browser may not correspond to records 2 and 2 at this time. For another example, if a previous weight reading of the weighing apparatus is 0 and a subsequent weight reading of 2 is received, then records 0 and 2 may be recorded.

Of course, the weighing apparatus may also be controlled, or the weighing program may control the weighing apparatus, so that the weighing apparatus only sends weight indications to the browser if the weight indications change. For example, if the weight indication of the weighing apparatus has been 2, the weight indication 2 is sent to the browser only once. After the weight reading of the weighing device becomes 0, the next weight reading of 0 is sent to the browser.

Therefore, after the browser receives a weight reading, the browser does not need to judge whether the weight reading is the same as the previous weight reading, but directly records the weight reading and the previous weight reading correspondingly.

It is additionally contemplated that the previous weight indication may be the immediately previous weight indication. However, there may be instances where the measurement is unstable and, therefore, the previous weight indication may be one of a set of fluctuating weight indications and, therefore, the previous weight indication may be an average of the previous set of fluctuating weight indications.

As can be seen from the above description, after the browser currently receives a weight reading, it records from which weight reading it changes to the current weight reading.

S304: and the browser displays the current weight readings in a package warehousing interface.

S305: the scanning device sends the invoice number to the browser.

S306: and the browser displays the current invoice number in the package warehousing interface.

S307: after receiving the package warehousing instruction, the browser determines whether the current weight reading is not 0 and the corresponding previous weight reading is 0, if so, step S308 is executed, and if not, step S309 is executed.

After receiving the package warehousing instruction, the browser needs to judge whether the weight indication number of the package is not 0 and whether the previous weight indication number of the package is 0 before warehousing the package. If both are yes, it indicates that the parcel does not have other articles such as parcels on the weighing device before warehousing, so that the warehousing operation of step S308 can be executed. If the current weight index is 0, it indicates that the parcel is not placed on the weighing device, or if the previous weight index is not 0, it indicates that the parcel has articles such as the parcel on the weighing device before warehousing, so as to execute the prompting operation of step S309.

S308: the browser correspondingly saves the current weight scale and the current waybill number, and modifies the previous weight scale of the current weight scale.

It will be appreciated that at this point the current weight indication is not 0 and its previous weight indication is 0, and therefore this step modifies 0 to another non-0 value, for example modifying 0 to the current weight indication.

In this way, when the operator scans the waybill number into the warehouse for a parcel that does not need to be weighed, if the previous parcel is not taken off from the weighing device, the determination result in step S307 is no, and step S309 is executed.

S309: and the browser outputs prompt information.

The prompting information in this step can be divided into two types. If the currently received weight indication is 0 in step S307, prompting information about that the parcel is not weighed; if the previous weight indication is not 0 in step S307, information indicating the presence of the article on the weighing apparatus is presented.

It should be noted that, for steps that are not specifically described in this embodiment, reference may be made to the first embodiment, and details are not described herein.

According to the technical scheme, the parcel warehousing method provided by the embodiment judges whether the previous weight index of the parcel is 0 or not before warehousing the parcel, and executes the parcel warehousing action if the previous weight index of the parcel is 0, so that the accuracy of the weight of the parcel in warehousing is ensured.

Similarly, in order to facilitate understanding of the technical solution of the second embodiment, the package warehousing process is exemplified as follows.

After the browser receives the weight display number 2, if the weight display number is the first weight display number, the default weight display number is 0, and if the weight display number 2 is different from the weight display number 0, the weight display number 0-2 is correspondingly recorded. The electronic scale may continue to send a weight reading of 2 and the browser will not process the same weight reading since the weight reading is still 2.

The operator scans the gun for the order number of the package and sends the gun to the browser. And the browser displays the freight note number in a freight note number frame of the package warehousing interface.

And after confirming the weight indication number and the freight note number of the package, the operator clicks a confirmation button on a package warehousing interface, and triggers to generate a package warehousing instruction and sends the package warehousing instruction to the browser. And the browser judges that the previous weight index corresponding to the weight index 2 of the package is 0 (the warehousing condition is that the previous weight index is 0), establishes a corresponding relation between the weight index and the freight note number and stores the corresponding relation, thereby completing warehousing of the package, and modifying the weight index recorded correspondingly into 2-2.

If the operator takes the package off the electronic scale, the electronic scale immediately sends the weight indication number 0 to the browser through the weighing program, and the browser correspondingly records the weight indication number 2-0. The operator places the next parcel on the electronic scale, which sends the weight indication, e.g., 3, for that parcel to the browser, which records the weight indication 0-3 accordingly. Therefore, after the operator clicks the confirmation button, the browser judges that the previous weight indication corresponding to the weight indication 3 of the package is 0 (the warehousing condition is that the previous weight indication is 0), and then the warehousing of the package is finished.

If the operator does not take the package off the electronic scale, the next package is put in storage, and the next package in storage does not need to be weighed, the operator can directly scan the freight note number of the package and click a determination button instruction of a storage interface. At this time, the currently recorded weight reading is 2-2, the browser judges that the previous weight reading of the current weight reading is 2 (the warehousing condition is that the previous weight reading is 0), and then the browser does not execute warehousing action on the package, but outputs a prompt box to prompt an operator to clean the previous package on the electronic scale.

Alternatively, in rare cases, if the operator does not remove the package from the electronic scale and places the next package on the electronic scale, the electronic scale sends a total weight indication 5 to the browser. The browser records the weight indication 5 and the previous weight indication 2 (the previous package was not removed, and the previous weight indication is the weight of the previous package).

After the operator clicks the determination button, the browser judges that the previous weight indication corresponding to the weight indication 5 of the package is 2 (the warehousing condition is that the previous weight indication is 0), and then the browser does not execute warehousing action on the package, but outputs a prompt box to prompt the operator to clean the previous package on the electronic scale, so that the accuracy of the weight of the package in warehousing is ensured.

It should be noted that, in the above embodiments, a specific value of 0 indicates that no item is placed on the weighing apparatus, and this state may be referred to as a preset clear state. However, weighing devices have a problem of measurement errors, and therefore, a preset value range including 0, for example, a preset value range of [ -0.5,0.5], may be used instead of 0 to indicate the clear state of the weighing device. Of course, the numerical range representing the zero clearing status may be set to other values according to the actual application requirements.

If the weight scale is included in the preset value range, the weighing device is considered to be not provided with any article, so that the operation with the weight scale of 0 is performed. For convenience of description, the preset numerical range may be referred to as a preset clear range.

The parcel warehousing through the browser is only a specific implementation mode, a parcel warehousing application can be arranged on a computer, and the parcel warehousing method is realized through the parcel warehousing application.

In addition, the weighing program may be implemented by a separate application, or it may be embedded in another program. For example, the weighing program functions are implemented by a browser, and the weighing device sends the package weight directly to the browser. For another example, in the presence of a parcel warehousing application, the function of the weighing program is implemented by the parcel warehousing application, and the weighing device directly sends the parcel weight to the parcel warehousing application.

The computer can be a desktop computer, a notebook computer, a tablet computer, a smart phone and other various intelligent devices. The weighing device can be various devices capable of measuring the weight of an object, such as an electronic scale, and can be connected with a computer in a wired mode or a wireless mode. The scanning device is a device capable of scanning two-dimensional codes, bar codes and other scanning codes, and similarly, the connection between the scanning device and the computer can be in a wired mode or a wireless mode.

In the above technical solutions, the package is taken as an example for explanation, but the object of weighing is not limited to the package, and may be other objects. In addition, the technical scheme is not limited to be applied to the application scene of parcel warehousing, and other scenes in which the articles are weighed in a flow line mode can adopt the technical scheme of the application. After the application scenario is expanded, the application provides the technical scheme of the third embodiment.

EXAMPLE III

Referring to fig. 4, a flow of the method for weighing an article provided by the present application is shown, and specifically includes steps S401 to S404.

S401: after the weighing device weighs the weight reading of the item, the weight reading is sent to a computer.

Wherein the weighing apparatus is connected to a computer and the weight readings weighed can be sent to the computer.

S402: the computer determines whether the weighing device is in a preset zero clearing state before weighing the article, if so, step S403 is executed, otherwise, step S404 is executed.

In a specific implementation manner of this step, as in the first embodiment, it may be determined whether a preset weight flag exists or whether a value of the preset weight flag is a first value, so as to determine whether the weighing device is in a preset clear state before weighing the article.

For the generation and clearing of the weight flag, refer to the first embodiment, and are not described herein.

Alternatively, the specific implementation manner of this step may be as described in the second embodiment, and determine whether the previous weight indication of the article is 0, so as to determine whether the weighing device is in the preset zero clearing state before weighing the article.

The previous weight indication of the package may be determined according to the second embodiment, which is not described herein.

S403: the computer determines the weight readings as the accurate weight readings of the article and stores the corresponding relationship between the article and the weight readings.

Wherein the determining action of the computer is a precondition for the saving action. The computer-generated correspondence between items and their weight readings may be stored locally or remotely on a server.

S404: and the computer outputs prompt information.

For example, the computer displays a prompt box containing a prompt message "please clear the item". Alternatively, the computer may send a sound command to the weighing apparatus to cause the weighing apparatus to sound. Of course, other output modes are also possible, and the present application is not particularly limited.

The embodiment can be applied to the application scene of weighing articles in a flow-line manner, and the weighing device is used for weighing the weight of each article and sending the weighed weight readings of the articles to the computer. After the computer determines the weight readings of the articles, the corresponding relationship between the articles and the weight readings is recorded. However, if an article is weighed and is not removed from the weighing device, prompt information is output to ensure the accuracy of the weight indication of the article.

The above weighing method for the articles may be implemented on a weighing device, and after the weighing device determines that the weight indication is an accurate weight indication, the weighing device may not perform the saving action, but output the first prompt information such as a bright green light, and if the determination result of step S402 is no, output the second prompt information such as a bright red light.
