Detailed Description

In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present application more apparent, the technical solutions of the present application will be described in detail and completely with reference to the following specific embodiments of the present application and the accompanying drawings. It should be apparent that the described embodiments are only some 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.

At present, a lot of goods are distributed in physical spaces such as markets, supermarkets, warehouses, logistics storage and the like, some goods are directly stacked on the ground, and some goods are displayed on a shelf. Generally, goods are placed according to a set placing rule, for example, in a shopping mall or a supermarket, the goods are displayed on different shelves in different selling areas according to a classification rule. For example, in physical spaces such as warehouses and logistics warehouses, goods are placed according to classification rules, operation optimization rules, transportation and handling rules and rules meeting fire safety requirements.

However, in practice, the goods placement condition is susceptible to human factors, so that the goods placement rule is damaged. For example, in a shopping mall or a supermarket, goods are not placed at a specified position due to personal reasons of goods management personnel, or some goods are missed in the placing process, so that a store management problem and even the interest of the store are damaged. Based on this, whether it is a supermarket, a shopping mall or a warehouse, there is a need to determine the actual distribution of goods among a plurality of shelves and a plurality of goods. In view of the above need, an embodiment of the present application provides an information acquisition system, which may be applied to various different physical spaces, such as physical stores, e.g., shopping malls, supermarkets, etc., and may also be applied to physical spaces, e.g., warehouses, logistics warehouses, etc., in which goods are distributed.

The technical solution of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Fig. 1a is a schematic diagram illustrating a system architecture of an information acquisition system according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application, and as shown in fig. 1a, the information acquisition system 100 includes: the base station 10, the user terminal 20, and the server 30 are located to obtain actual distribution information of the first object in the physical space.

The first object refers to an object stored in a physical space, and the first object may include one object or a plurality of objects. When the first object contains a plurality of objects, the plurality of objects can be considered to be a class of objects having a variety of commonalities. In some embodiments, the first object comprises a plurality of objects having a commonality of same purpose, same category, same brand, same specification. For example, in a mall or supermarket, the first object may appear as a different kind of goods, such as: brand A peanut oil with the weight of 5KG, brand B peach flavor yoghourt with the volume of 450ml, brand C glass preservation box with the volume of 1.5L and the like.

The positioning base station 10 refers to a device capable of transmitting a positioning signal according to a set frequency and a communication protocol. In this embodiment, the positioning base station 10 is used to assist the user equipment 20 in positioning the first object.

In the information acquisition system 100, the positioning base station 10 may be disposed in a physical space in which the first object is located, for example, at the top, bottom, corner, or other optional position of the physical space. For example, when the physical space is a supermarket and the first object is goods in the supermarket, the positioning base station 10 may be mounted on the top of the supermarket in a ceiling-mounted manner, or one part of the positioning base station may be mounted on the top of the supermarket and the other part of the positioning base station may be mounted at a corner on the ground of the supermarket. In some embodiments, the positioning base station 10 may include at least three positioning base stations, such that the user terminal 20 determines the three-dimensional coordinates of the first object in the stereoscopic space based on the at least three positioning base stations. Preferably, in order to improve the positioning accuracy, the number of the positioning base stations 10 may be four, and four positioning base stations can save the cost required for positioning while ensuring accurate positioning.

In some application scenarios, the information acquiring system 100 uses an UWB (Ultra Wide Band) based communication method to locate the first object. In this scenario, the positioning base station 10 may be implemented as a UWB base station. The UWB base station transmits the positioning signal outward continuously with repetition of UWB pulses for reception by the user terminal 20. The UWB positioning adopts a broadband pulse communication technology, has strong anti-interference capability and small positioning error, and can provide centimeter-level positioning accuracy. Furthermore, when the first object is located based on the UWB communication method, the user terminal 20 can obtain the object location of the first object with a very small location error, which is beneficial to enable the server 30 to determine the precise distribution information of the first object in the physical space.

The user terminal 20 refers to a device capable of acquiring an object identifier of the first object. In some scenarios, the user terminal 20 may be implemented as a code scanner, such as a bar code scanner, a two-dimensional code scanner, a pda (personal Digital assistant) device such as a radio frequency scanner, and in such scenarios, the first object may be associated with an information code such as a bar code, a two-dimensional code, a radio frequency tag, and the like, which can be scanned or identified by the user terminal 20; in other application scenarios, the user terminal 20 may be implemented as a PDA device such as a smart phone, a tablet computer, a personal computer, or a wearable device, and the device may obtain the object identifier of the first object by taking a picture or scanning based on a built-in camera. The object identifier may be information used for identifying the first object, such as a picture, a name, and an identification code corresponding to the first object, and is determined according to a specific application scenario, which is not limited herein.

In this embodiment, the user terminal 20 is configured to, in addition to the object identifier for acquiring the first object, determine the self position at the first object according to the positioning signal transmitted by the positioning base station 10, use the self position as the object position of the first object, and associate the acquired object position with the object identifier and then transmit the object identifier to the server 30. In practice, when detecting the object position of the first object, the user terminal 20 may approach the first object infinitely, detect its own position by the positioning base station 10, and use its own position as the position of the first object. In this embodiment, the user terminal 20 can directly obtain the object position of the first object without processing the first object, which greatly simplifies the procedure for positioning the first object and improves the positioning efficiency.

In this embodiment, the object position of the first object acquired by the user terminal 20 based on at least three positioning base stations refers to a position of the first object in the stereoscopic space, and the position is usually expressed by three-dimensional coordinates.

In some alternative embodiments, the user terminal 20 may obtain the object identifier of the first object within a reasonable range in which the object identifier can be detected; after the object identification is acquired, the mobile terminal moves to a position infinitely close to the first object, and the position of the mobile terminal is acquired as the object position of the first object. In this embodiment, the user needs to perform two operations on the user terminal 20, one operation is used to obtain the object identifier, and the other operation is used to obtain the object location.

In some optional embodiments, the user terminal 20 may approach the first object infinitely when acquiring the identifier of the first object; after the object identifier is acquired, the object identifier is slightly stopped, and the self position information is acquired by using the stopping time as the object position of the first object. In this embodiment, the user only needs to perform one operation on the user terminal 20 to obtain the object identifier and the object position, which further simplifies the process and improves the information obtaining efficiency.

The server 30 refers to a background device for providing computing and storage services. In this embodiment, the server 30 is configured to receive the object identifier and the object location sent by the user terminal 20, and obtain actual distribution information of the first object in the physical space based on an association relationship between the object identifier and the object location.

Optionally, the obtained actual distribution information of the first object in the physical space may be expressed as a corresponding relationship between an object identifier of the first object and an actual three-dimensional coordinate; or as the actual relative position of the first object with respect to other reference objects in the physical space.

In practice, the server 30 may be implemented by one or more servers. The implementation form of the server is not limited in this embodiment, for example, in some alternative implementations, the server may be a conventional server, a cloud host, a virtual center, or other server devices. The server mainly includes a processor, a hard disk, a memory, a system bus, and the like, and is similar to a general computer architecture, and is not described in detail.

In the information acquiring system 100, there may be a wireless or wired communication connection between the user terminal 20 and the server 30, and based on the communication connection, the user terminal 20 may send the associated object identifier and object location to the server 30. When the user terminal 20 and the server 30 are close to each other (e.g., located in a supermarket or a physical store), the user terminal 20 and the server 30 may be connected by any short-distance Wireless communication method, such as bluetooth, ZigBee, WiFi (Wireless-Fidelity, Wireless Fidelity), infrared, and the like. When the distance between the user terminal 20 and the server 30 is long, or the server 30 is implemented as a cloud server, the user terminal 20 and the server 30 may establish a communication connection through a mobile network, which is not described herein.

In this embodiment, the user terminal 20 may obtain an object position of the first object based on the positioning base station 10, associate the object position with the object identifier obtained by itself, and send the object position to the server 30, and the server 30 may effectively obtain actual distribution information of the first object in the physical space based on the associated object identifier and the object position.

The above embodiments describe the implementation of acquiring the actual distribution information of the first objects in the physical space, and it should be noted that, when there are a plurality of first objects, the above process may be repeatedly performed to acquire the actual distribution information of each first object in the physical space. For example, when the physical space is a supermarket, the first object corresponds to goods in the supermarket. In order to obtain distribution information of each type of goods in the supermarket, the user terminal 20 can sequentially obtain goods identifiers of each type of goods, determine the goods position of each type of goods according to a positioning base station deployed in the supermarket, associate the goods position of each type of goods with the goods identifiers and send the goods positions to a supermarket background, and the supermarket background obtains the distribution information of each type of goods in the supermarket.

In some optional embodiments, when the user terminal 20 obtains the object identifier of the first object, the object identifier may be directly obtained through the first object itself, as shown in the following enumerated embodiments:

embodiment 1: shooting a first object to acquire an image of the first object; information such as the name, size, specification, brand, and the like of the first object is recognized based on the captured image, and the recognized information is used as an object identification of the first object. For example, when the first object is goods in a supermarket, the user terminal 20 may directly photograph an outer package of the goods, and identify information such as a brand, a name, a net content, and a material of the goods from the photographed image as an object identifier of the goods.

Embodiment 2: the information code on the first object is scanned, and the scanning result is used as the object identification of the first object. In this embodiment, the information code refers to a barcode, a two-dimensional code, a three-dimensional code, or the like carried on the first object itself. For example, when the first object is goods in a supermarket, the information code can be represented as a goods bar code, a source tracing code and the like carried on an outer package of the goods. The user terminal 20 may directly scan the barcode or the source code on the goods, and use the scanning result as the object identifier of the goods.

In other alternative embodiments, as shown in FIG. 1b, the information acquisition system 100 further comprises a tag 40; wherein the tag 40 is used to identify the first object, in practice, the tag 40 may comprise one or more tags, each tag may identify a kind of the first object, for example, a tag is used to identify the first object a, and B tag is used to identify the first object B. When the first object is implemented as goods, information on the name, price, place of production, date of production, etc. of the goods may be displayed on the label 40 to identify the different kinds of goods.

Where each tag is associated with the location of the first object it identifies, e.g., an a-tag may be placed where the first object a is located and a B-tag may be placed where the first object B is located. For example, in a supermarket, a label for identifying a towel can be placed at the position of the towel, and the price, the brand and the fabric component corresponding to the towel can be displayed on the label; for another example, a label for identifying the shampoo may be placed on the place where the shampoo is located, and information on the price, brand, place of origin, etc. of the shampoo may be displayed thereon.

Alternatively, the Label 40 may be implemented as a conventional paper Label, or may be implemented as an Electronic Shelf Label (ESL). The label 40 may be provided with an information code for identifying the first object, and the information code may be implemented as a bar code, a two-dimensional code, a three-dimensional code, or the like, which is not limited in this embodiment. Based on this, the user terminal 10 may determine the object identification of the first object by the information code on the first object and the information code on the tag associated with the first object.

It should be noted that, when the tag 40 is implemented as an electronic shelf label, generally, the user terminal 20 needs to perform a binding operation on the electronic shelf label and the first object, so that the server 30 controls the electronic shelf label bound to the first object to display corresponding content according to the first object. Generally, the user terminal 20 may scan an information code on the first object and an information code on an electronic shelf label associated with the first object, perform a binding operation on the scan result, and transmit the binding result to the server 30. The server 30 may send the display content corresponding to the first object to the electronic shelf label bound to the first object for display.

Optionally, in this embodiment, when the user terminal 20 binds the electronic shelf label and the first object, the object identification and the object location of the first object may be further acquired. Specifically, after scanning the information code on the first object and the information code on the label associated with the first object, the user terminal 20 is further configured to: and displaying a binding page, wherein a binding button is arranged on the binding page, so that a user can trigger the button to execute binding operation. When detecting the triggering operation of the binding button by the user, the user terminal 20 may bind the scanning result of the information code on the first object and the information code on the electronic shelf label in response to the triggering operation to obtain the object identifier of the first object, and determine its own position as the object position of the first object according to the positioning signal transmitted by the positioning base station 10; then, the object identifier of the first object is associated with the object location and sent to the server 30.

In the above embodiment, the object identifier and the object position of the first object can be obtained in the binding process of the user terminal 20 on the first object and the electronic shelf label, and a separate process is not required, so that the efficiency is higher. In addition, in some scenes, the process of acquiring the object identifier and the object position of the first object is imperceptible to a user, so that the acquired distribution information of the first object in the physical space avoids artificial tampering, and is more real.

In some exemplary embodiments, the server 30, after receiving the object identifier and the object location sent by the user terminal 20, is further configured to: and determining a second object having a relative position relationship with the first object according to the received object position, and determining relative position distribution information of the first object and the second object based on the structure information of the second object, the object identification and the object position.

Wherein the second object has a relative positional relationship with the first object in the physical space. In some scenarios, it can be understood that the second object is an object whose position in physical space is fixed, or an object whose position changes are not susceptible to human voluntary influence. In some scenarios, the second object refers to an object used to carry the first object. The relative position relation between the first object and the second object is obtained, and the abstract position of the first object in the physical space is favorably embodied, so that a user can conveniently and intuitively determine the actual distribution information of the first object in the physical space. For example, in an application scenario of a mall, supermarket or warehouse, when the first object is implemented as goods, the second object may be implemented as a shelf for carrying the goods. The relative positions of the goods and the goods shelf are used for describing the positions of the goods in a shopping mall, a supermarket or a warehouse, so that the method is more visual and vivid.

In some exemplary embodiments, at least one second object may be deployed in the physical space, and therefore, the server 30 may determine, from the at least one second object, a second object having a relative positional relationship with the first object before acquiring the relative positional relationship between the first object and the second object.

Alternatively, the server 30 may obtain the position information of at least one second object in the physical space, and the position information may be obtained through measurement in advance. Then, a second object satisfying a set condition with the received object position is selected from the at least one second object as a second object having a relative position relation with the first object. Wherein, the setting conditions include: the distance from the second object to the position of the object is less than a set threshold value; or the coordinate range to which the second object belongs includes the coordinate range to which the object position belongs. Of course, the setting conditions listed above are merely exemplary, and in practice, other conditions may be set as needed.

An alternative embodiment for determining the relative positional relationship of a first object to a second object will be described below using shelves and items as examples.

Generally, the shelves are constructed of multiple shelf boards in which goods can be placed or suspended. In practical applications, the server 30 may store shelf sizes corresponding to different shelves and coordinates corresponding to key structures of the shelves in advance. The size of the shelf is obtained through actual measurement, and can also be obtained according to a design drawing corresponding to a corresponding physical space.

Wherein, the goods shelves size includes: the length, the total height, the number of the support layers, the height of each layer of the support and the like of the shelf. The coordinates corresponding to the shelf key structure may include coordinates of four vertices contained on each face of the shelf. Based on the coordinates corresponding to the key structures of the shelves and the sizes of the shelves, the coordinate range corresponding to each surface of the shelf and the coordinate range corresponding to each layer of shelf laminate on the shelf can be calculated.

Then, the server 30 can determine the distribution information of the goods on the shelf according to the coordinate range corresponding to each side of the shelf, the coordinate range corresponding to each layer of shelf laminate on the shelf, and the received object position.

When the physical space is a physical store, the first object is goods, and the second object is a shelf, the object identifier of the first object may be represented as a goods identifier, and the object position of the first object may be represented as a goods position. How to determine the distribution information of the goods on the shelf based on the structural information of the shelf, the goods identification of the goods and the goods position will be described below with reference to a practical example.

In some exemplary embodiments, the distribution information of the goods on the shelves may be represented as: the goods shelf board comprises a shelf mark corresponding to the shelf where the goods are located, a shelf board mark corresponding to the shelf board where the goods are located and/or a display sequence number corresponding to the goods on the shelf board.

The shelf identifier corresponding to the shelf on which the goods are located may be information for identifying the shelf, such as a number or a code of the shelf. For example, in a physical store, the goods shelves can be numbered according to the arrangement order of the goods shelves to obtain the goods shelf identifiers so as to distinguish different goods shelves. Optionally, before determining the shelf identifier, the server 30 may obtain the shelf location of at least one shelf in the brick-and-mortar store; selecting the shelf closest to the goods position from the at least one shelf as the shelf where the goods are located; alternatively, a shelf having a coordinate range to which the shelf position belongs and a coordinate range to which the goods position belongs is selected from the at least one shelf as the shelf on which the goods are placed.

Wherein, the shelf plywood sign that the shelf plywood corresponds for distinguish different shelf plywood on the same goods shelves. For example, shelf plies on the same shelf may be numbered in top-to-bottom, or bottom-to-top order. Before obtaining the shelf laminate identifier corresponding to the shelf laminate where the goods are located, the server 30 may obtain the coordinate range to which each layer of shelf laminate of the shelf belongs; next, the shelf deck having the coordinate range including the coordinate range to which the item belongs is set as the shelf deck to which the item belongs. The following description will be made in conjunction with practical examples.

The physical space where the shelf is located is represented by a space coordinate system XYZ. Assume that the coordinate range corresponding to shelf M is represented as: the abscissa X is between 1 and 25, the ordinate Y is between 1 and 30 and the ordinate Z is between 1 and 5. The coordinate range corresponding to shelf N is represented as: the abscissa X is between 35 and 60, the ordinate Y is between 1 and 45 and the ordinate Z is between 1 and 5.

When the service end 30 receives the goods P at the goods position: when (X, Y, Z) ═ 2,3, the load P can be considered to be located on the shelf M.

Then, the coordinate range of each layer of shelf laminate of the shelf M is obtained. It is assumed that the range of the ordinate Y of the pallet M for the first layer is between 1 and 10, the range of the ordinate for the second layer is between 11 and 20, and the range of the ordinate for the third layer is between 21 and 30. The goods P can be considered to be located on the first floor of the shelf M.

If 3 goods are placed on the first layer of the shelf M, and the coordinate ranges of the abscissa X of each goods from left to right are as follows: 1-5, 6-8 and 9-10. The display number of the goods P on the first floor of the shelf M is considered to be 1.

Based on the above, the actual distribution information of the cargo P is obtained as follows: the goods P are displayed at the position of the display number 1 on the first floor of the shelf M.

Based on the technical scheme provided by each embodiment, the information acquisition system 100 can accurately acquire the actual distribution information of the goods in the physical store, and in some embodiments, the server 30 can compare the actual distribution information with the theoretical distribution information of the goods in the physical store, so as to judge whether the placement position of the goods meets the placement requirement, thereby realizing efficient monitoring of the goods and being beneficial to improving the management efficiency and economic benefit of the physical store.

In addition, in some alternative embodiments, a visual distribution diagram, also called "shed cut diagram", can be generated according to the distribution information of the goods on each layer of the shelf, as shown in fig. 1 c. The server 30 can send the distribution map to the terminal device of the consumer, so that the consumer can inquire the target goods based on the distribution map, and convenient shopping is achieved. The server 30 may also send the distribution map to a terminal device of a physical store manager, so that the store manager can quickly and intuitively obtain actual distribution information of the goods based on the distribution map, and thus, the placement position of the goods can be efficiently adjusted. For example, store managers can quickly find the goods with wrong placement based on the distribution map of the goods and adjust the placement positions of the goods, and the efficiency is high.

The information acquisition system 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application may be applied to a variety of different application scenarios, for example, a scenario in which a tally clerk in an entity store such as a supermarket or a shopping mall checks goods.

The technical solutions provided by the above embodiments will be further described below by taking the information acquiring system 100 as an example when applied to physical stores such as supermarkets, shopping malls, and the like.

In this scenario, the tally clerk may hold the user terminal 20 by hand, scan the identification code on the goods and/or scan the corresponding label of the goods, and obtain the goods identification. While scanning, the user can approach the user terminal 20 to the goods infinitely and pause slightly, and then the user terminal 20 can obtain the goods identifier and obtain the position information of the user terminal based on the positioning base station 10 deployed in the physical store as the position information of the goods, and the position information of the goods and the goods identifier are bound and then sent to the server 30, and the server 30 determines the actual distribution information of the goods. In this embodiment, the user only needs to hold the user terminal 20 to perform the scanning operation for each cargo, and the cargo identifier and the position information of the cargo can be synchronously obtained, so that the process is simplified, and the cargo is efficiently and accurately positioned.

It should be noted that, in a typical application scenario, when the tag 40 in the information acquiring system 100 is an electronic shelf tag, a tally clerk needs to perform a binding operation on the electronic shelf tag and goods when placing the electronic shelf tag and the goods. Specifically, the user may scan the information code on the electronic shelf label and the identification code of the goods through the user terminal 20, and perform the binding operation of the goods and the electronic shelf label through the user terminal at an infinite proximity to the goods. When the user terminal 20 receives a binding request sent by a user, the location base station 10 deployed in a physical store can obtain its own location as a cargo location of a cargo, and sends the cargo location of the cargo and a cargo identifier to the server 30 after binding, and the server 30 determines actual distribution information of the cargo. The advantage of this method is that the operation of the user terminal 20 to obtain the cargo identifier and the cargo position is performed without perception of the cargo handler, which can effectively avoid the situation of human cheating and improve the effectiveness of the actual distribution result of the first object in the physical space.
