In step S310, the feature extraction unit 110 obtains the position information of at least one of the electronic tags EL and the corresponding product feature of the product G.
In an embodiment, the feature extraction unit 110 is a handheld electronic device with a camera function, and the feature extraction unit 110 captures an image of the commodity G1 as a commodity feature of the commodity G1. Specifically, the merchandise feature may be an image of the entire merchandise G1 or a partial image of the merchandise G1, such as a front trademark pattern, a bar code or a name of the merchandise, and the invention is not limited thereto. In addition, the feature extraction unit 110 and the electronic tags EL may have a Communication function, such as Bluetooth (Bluetooth), Near Field Communication (NFC), Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), and so on. As shown in fig. 2, the electronic tag EL includes a communication element 140. The electronic tag EL can be connected to the management unit 130 through the communication device 140 in a wired or wireless manner, and can also be connected to the feature extraction unit 110 in a wireless manner. The feature extraction unit 110 may be communicatively connected to the electronic tag EL1 corresponding to the merchandise G1 to obtain the location information of the electronic tag EL1, where the location information includes the address of the electronic tag EL 1. For example, the feature extraction unit 110 can pair with the electronic tag EL1 to directly obtain an IP Address (internet protocol Address) or a MAC Address (Media Access Control Address) of the electronic tag EL 1.
In step S320, the feature processing unit 120 receives the product feature from the feature extraction unit 110 and identifies the product feature to obtain the product information. In the embodiment, the feature processing unit 120 receives the image of the merchandise G1 from the feature extraction unit 110, and performs image processing on the image of the merchandise G1 to identify the feature of the merchandise G1. Specifically, the feature processing unit 120 may recognize words from the image to obtain the brand, product name or product model of the product G1, or the feature processing unit 120 may recognize the product shape or appearance pattern with features from the image, or directly recognize the barcode of the product G1, without limitation. That is, the feature processing unit 120 is used to extract the merchandise information sufficient to identify the merchandise G1 from the image.
In one embodiment, the feature processing unit 120 identifies the brand and item name of the commodity G1 from the image captured by the feature extraction unit 110, and the feature processing unit 120 may transmit commodity information including the brand and item name to the management unit 130. Here, the merchandise information may not need to be implemented in an image format, so that the signal transmission flow can be saved and the calculation load of the management unit 130 can be reduced.
In step S330, the management unit 130 determines the address of the electronic tag EL1 based on the location information, and determines the display information of the merchandise G1 based on the merchandise information. The management unit 130 includes a memory 132. The memory 132 stores a plurality of display information about the articles G. The management unit 130 compares the merchandise information of the merchandise G1 with the display information in the memory 132 to select the matching display information from the display information.
In this embodiment, the feature extraction unit 110 sends the location information to the management unit 130, and the management unit 130 can determine the address of the electronic tag EL1 based on the location information. Here, since the feature extraction unit 110 and the electronic tag EL1 are paired previously, the location information transmitted to the management unit 130 already includes the address of the electronic tag EL1, and the management unit 130 can quickly confirm that the electronic tag corresponding to the commodity G1 currently inspected by the feature extraction unit 110 is the electronic tag EL 1.
In step S340, the memory 132 further stores the correspondence between the electronic tags EL and the products G on the shelf SH. The corresponding relationship records the address of each electronic tag EL and the display information of the display screen of each electronic tag EL. The management unit 130 may further determine whether to update the display screen of the electronic tag EL1 according to whether the display information of the matching product G1 and the address of the electronic tag EL1 correspond to each other. When the matched display information and the address of the electronic label EL1 do not match the above-mentioned corresponding relationship, step S350 is performed, and the management unit 130 updates the display screen and updates the corresponding relationship according to the matched display information. Otherwise, go to step S360 and end the process.
Referring to fig. 4, the electronic tag EL further includes a screen 150. The screen 150 may be a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) panel, an ElectroPhoretic Display (EPD) panel, or the like, and the present invention is not limited to the type thereof. The electronic tag EL receives the display information from the management unit 130 through the communication element 140, and presents a display screen on the screen 150 according to the display information. The display may include, but is not limited to, the name of the product, price, special price information, advertisement, one-dimensional bar Code (barcode), two-dimensional Code (QR Code), and the like.
In short, the management unit 130 compares whether the display information matched with the merchandise G1 matches the above-mentioned correspondence to determine whether the display screen of the electronic tag EL1 matches the merchandise G1 on the shelf SH. If the two items are inconsistent, the management unit 130 updates the display of the electronic tag EL1 according to the display information matched with the article G1, and synchronously updates the corresponding relationship, so that the new corresponding relationship records that the electronic tag EL1 corresponds to the article G1. If the display screen of the electronic tag EL1 matches the article G1, the flow ends.
For example, the commodity G1 is a beverage produced by "american company", the item name is "high-grade green tea", the feature processing unit 120 recognizes that the commodity information of the commodity G1 is "high-grade green tea" from the image captured by the feature extraction unit 110, and transmits the commodity information to the management unit 130. The memory 132 of the management unit 130 may store display information of a plurality of different beverages in advance. After receiving the merchandise information of the merchandise G1, the management unit 130 searches the memory 132 for the display information corresponding to "" one American high-grade green tea "", which may include the information of the brand "" one American "", the merchandise name "" high-grade green tea "", the selling price "" 25 Yuan "", and the special price mark "" buy one and send one "". Then, the management unit 130 confirms whether the display information corresponding to the electronic label EL1 in the correspondence relation is "a high-grade green tea". If not, the management unit 130 updates the display content of the electronic tag EL1, causes the electronic tag EL1 to display "a american high-grade green tea" and updates the correspondence, and causes the updated correspondence to record that the display information corresponding to the electronic tag EL1 is "an american high-grade green tea". If so, the management unit 130 ends the flow.
In other embodiments, in steps S310 to S330, in addition to capturing the image of the article G1 as the article feature of the article G1, the feature capture unit 110 also captures an image of the electronic tag EL1 as the position information, where the position information may include an image of the display of the electronic tag EL1 or a local image sufficient for identifying the electronic tag EL1, such as a barcode or a number of the electronic tag EL 1. For example, the shelf SH or the display of the electronic tag has the number, the one-dimensional bar code or the two-dimensional code of the electronic tag EL1, and the feature extraction unit 110 can capture the number, the one-dimensional bar code or the two-dimensional code as the position information.
For example, when the location information includes a two-dimensional map code, the feature extraction unit 110 may obtain the location information from the electronic tag EL1 to obtain the address of the electronic tag EL 1. That is, the location of the electronic tag EL1 can be encoded in the two-dimensional map code, and the feature extraction unit 110 can obtain the address of the electronic tag EL1 by scanning the two-dimensional map code.
In another embodiment, the feature processing unit 120 may identify the number of the electronic tag EL1 in the image and transmit the location information including the number to the management unit 130. Management unit 130 determines the address of electronic tag EL1 from the number of electronic tag EL 1.
Specifically, the image capturing operation of the feature capturing unit 110 may be a pre-capturing operation. Specifically, the feature extraction unit 110 may preview the merchandise item G1 or the electronic tag EL1, and temporarily store images related to the merchandise item G1 or the electronic tag EL1, and the feature processing unit 120 may process or recognize these temporarily stored images to obtain merchandise features or location information. Here, the feature processing unit 120 may not need to archive the image of the article G1 or the electronic tag EL1, so as to save the memory space.
In the embodiment of fig. 4, the position information provided by the feature extraction unit 110 includes images of the display frames of the electronic labels EL (e.g., the selected electronic label EL 1). The display screen of the electronic tag EL includes a one-dimensional barcode 152 and a two-dimensional map code 154. Here, the one-dimensional bar code 152 or the two-dimensional map code 154 includes information about the article G1. For example, the two-dimensional map code 154 may be connected to a web page introducing the article G1, and the one-dimensional barcode 152 may include the article number of the article G1.
The feature processing unit 120 recognizes an image of the display screen of the electronic tag EL to obtain display information. Specifically, the feature processing unit 120 recognizes that the display information of the electronic tag EL of fig. 4 includes the product item "bluetooth headset" and the selling price "49.99 yuan, or the feature processing unit 120 obtains the product item or the selling price by recognizing the one-dimensional barcode 152 or the two-dimensional map code 154, thereby obtaining the display information of the electronic tag EL.
In step S330, the memory 132 of the management unit 130 stores the corresponding relationship between the display information of the electronic tag EL and the address of the electronic tag EL. The management unit 130 may determine the address of the electronic label EL according to the display information and the corresponding relationship provided by the feature processing unit 120. In other words, the corresponding relationship records the display information of each electronic tag EL, so that the management unit 130 can determine which electronic tag EL is currently checked by the feature extraction unit 110 according to the display information provided by the feature processing unit 120. Since the management unit 130 stores the address corresponding to each electronic tag EL, it can know the corresponding address when determining which electronic tag EL is currently checked by the feature extraction unit 110.
The implementation of steps S340 to S360 is described in the above embodiments, and will not be repeated here.
