Description

Self-service settlement method, device and system for entity shop

Technical Field

The application relates to the technical field of self-service settlement, in particular to a self-service settlement method, device and system for an entity shop.

Background

Under the online and offline combined business mode of 'new retail', and the like, information of commodity objects can be provided by an application program App on the line in retail, and a consumer user can browse, purchase and the like through the App on the line. Meanwhile, the retailer can also set up an off-line physical store, and the on-line order can be subjected to a series of processes such as delivery and the like by the off-line physical store and finally delivered to the receiving address designated by the user. Further, the consumer user may directly go to an offline physical store to purchase the commodity object. The off-line physical store also has some differences from the traditional supermarket, wherein one difference is that when facing a consumer who enters the store to directly buy the commodity in the physical store in the 'new retail' mode, more physical stores exist in the form of 'unmanned stores', the positions such as cashiers do not need to be arranged, and the consumer user can select and settle accounts for the commodity in a self-service mode.

In the prior art, there are a variety of common self-service settlement methods, for example, one method is that a consumer user selects a commodity to be purchased, and then scans a code of the commodity through a self-service settlement cash register arranged in a physical store under a line to complete settlement; or, the user scans the code of the commodity by using a related application program (App) installed in the mobile terminal device of the user, and settlement is finished.

The above methods all have the following disadvantages: it is only suitable for the settlement of the standard articles (such as cola, instant noodles, etc.) with commodity bar codes. However, off-line physical stores typically sell some non-standard items, such as steamed stuffed buns, kanto, etc., in addition to standard packaged and pre-printed bar code information. The goods such as cooked food are usually sold without package, and bar code information cannot be printed, so self-service settlement cannot be carried out in a code scanning mode.

Therefore, the application range of the commodity self-service settlement mode in the prior art is relatively small, especially, some non-standard commodities are not friendly enough, and self-service settlement is difficult to realize, so that how to make the self-service settlement system better compatible with the non-standard commodities becomes a technical problem solved by technical personnel in the field.

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 that can be derived from the embodiments given herein by a person of ordinary skill in the art are intended to be within the scope of the present disclosure. Firstly, the inventor of the present application finds that, in the process of implementing the present application, the dependence on the commodity barcode in the self-service settlement process can be solved to a certain extent by setting the electronic tag (RFID tag or the like) for the commodity object, and the present application can also be applied to the self-service settlement of "non-standard goods". For example, one implementation may be that an electronic tag is bound to each specific article, specifically, for the standard article, since the standard article itself has a package, the electronic tag may be configured on an outer package of the article by means of pasting or the like; for the nonstandard product, the nonstandard product may be configured in some special ways, for example, for "steamed stuffed bun" and the like, a package bag may be placed near a shelf on which the product of "steamed stuffed bun" is placed in advance, and an electronic tag may be equipped on the package bag in advance, so that when a user needs to purchase steamed stuffed buns, the steamed stuffed bun may be placed in the package bag, and the nonstandard product of the steamed stuffed bun is bound with the electronic tag. Alternatively, for a non-standard article such as "kanto cook" or the like having a part such as a "stick" or the like on the article itself, a specific electronic tag may be provided on such a part, or the like. Therefore, after the commodities are selected, the readers of the electronic tags can be arranged at the exits of the entity shops or at the settlement places and the like in a unified mode, a user can enter the sensing ranges of the readers one by one, the readers can read the electronic tags respectively related to the commodities selected by the user, and specific electronic resource equivalent lattice information is calculated and used for settlement. When settlement is carried out specifically, the identity of the user can be identified through modes such as face identification and the like, and then settlement and the like can be automatically carried out according to information such as an online payment account and the like bound by the identity of the user.

The scheme can solve the self-service settlement problem of non-standard articles, but at least has the following problems: firstly, an electronic tag needs to be bound to each article, for example, mineral water of a certain brand and a certain specification, 10 bottles of mineral water are placed in a specific storage area such as a shelf, and in the above scheme, one electronic tag needs to be set for each bottle of mineral water. Similarly, each package for containing "steamed stuffed buns" needs to be equipped with an electronic tag (and the price of "steamed stuffed buns" for different fillings may be different, so that the package may need to be made smaller, only one "steamed stuffed bun" needs to be contained, when a plurality of packages are purchased, a plurality of different packages need to be used for packaging), each string of "kandonggao" needs to be equipped with an electronic tag, and the like. Such electronic tags are not recyclable consumables since they are carried away from the physical store by the user with the specific goods. This will certainly lead to the increase of the operation cost of the physical store, and this part of cost may be transferred to the consumer user, so that the physical store is laid in the competitive environment and loses the price advantage. In addition, there may be a problem that the user who completes the shopping needs to queue up to enter the sensing area, complete the identification of the commodity object information in the sensing area, and associate with the information such as the user's identity. However, the specific settlement efficiency is limited by the number of sensing areas, the sensing speed, and the like, and in addition, the process may cause waiting for the user, and in some peak periods and other time periods, the waiting time may be long, which may affect the experience of the user.

Based on the above problems, the embodiments of the present application provide further improvements. In the scheme, the electronic tags do not need to be respectively equipped for each specific article, but are arranged in the shelf area corresponding to the specific article. Specifically, as shown in fig. 1, the physical store 1 may include a shelf area 10 corresponding to an article, and an electronic tag is disposed in the shelf area corresponding to such article for recording information of a corresponding article object. In a specific implementation, in an optional manner, the shelf area corresponding to the goods may include a plurality of sub-areas 101, each of which is used for placing at least one goods 1011 corresponding to the same goods object identifier, and at this time, the electronic tag 1012 may be disposed in the sub-area and is used for recording information of the goods object corresponding to the sub-area.

It should be noted that the goods 1101 in the physical store 1 may be a standard goods or a non-standard goods, and the electronic tag 1012 may specifically have various forms, such as an RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) tag or other tags with a short-range communication function. The electronic tags 1012 arranged in different sub-regions record information of commodity objects corresponding to the goods placed in the corresponding sub-regions, where the information of the commodity objects may include identifiers such as id and name of the commodity objects, or may further include attributes of the commodity objects, such as electronic resource (price, etc.) information and specifications of the commodity objects.

In addition, a reader may be provided in the physical store, and such a reader may have a function of reading an electronic tag and may submit information on a specific read commodity object to a server. In this way, the server can generate a target page for displaying the read commodity object information, and such a target page can also be provided to a target terminal device (a self-service settlement terminal device in a physical store, or a mobile terminal device associated with a user, etc.), and further, self-service settlement is completed through the target terminal device.

Therefore, the electronic tag can be fixedly arranged in the shelf area corresponding to the goods and cannot be taken away from the physical store along with the specific goods by a user, so that the electronic tag is not a consumable product any more, in addition, the reader can be reused and is not a consumable product, therefore, the operation cost of the physical store can be reduced, and the promotion of the electronic resource corresponding to the goods object caused by the electronic tag is avoided. In addition, the specific reading result information can be submitted to the server, the server generates related page information, the page information is displayed through the target terminal device, and subsequent settlement operation can be performed, so that the settlement efficiency is not limited by the number of the uniform sensing areas, the efficiency is improved, and the shopping experience of a user is improved.

The following describes in detail specific implementations provided in embodiments of the present application.

Example one

First, the embodiment provides a self-checkout system of a physical store, and particularly, referring to fig. 1, the system includes: the reader 11 and the server 12, when implemented, the reader 11 and the server 12 may implement information interaction through a network connection.

The reader 11 is used for being carried by a first user entering an entity store, and obtaining a reading result in a mode of reading an electronic tag of a shelf area corresponding to goods in the entity store, wherein the reading result comprises information of a commodity object to be settled;

and the server 12 is configured to obtain a reading result of the reader, and generate a target page according to the reading result, where the target page is used for being provided to a target terminal device, so as to output, by the target terminal device, reading result information associated with the target page.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the first user refers to a consumer user, a buyer user, and the like, and correspondingly, the merchant user, the seller user, the supplier user, and the like may be referred to as a second user. When each first user enters the entity shop, one reader can be taken and carried about, when the first user needs to purchase goods, the reader can be used to be close to the electronic tags arranged for the goods in the goods shelf areas corresponding to the goods where the specific goods are located respectively, and the information carried by the electronic tags can be read by the reader. When the first user needs to purchase the same goods for multiple times, the reader can be used for approaching the electronic tag corresponding to the goods for multiple times.

In a specific implementation, the server may perform the generation operation of the specific target page again when receiving the trigger message of the reader. The reader may submit the trigger message in various ways, for example, as an implementation, the reader may be provided with an operation option for performing a trigger operation, and at this time, the first user may submit the first trigger message to the server through the operation option. There are various implementations of the operation option for performing the trigger operation, for example, the operation option may be in the form of a physical key, or in the case that the reader is equipped with a touch screen, an operation button displayed by the touch screen, and so on. The reader submits a first trigger message to the server after receiving an operation instruction through the operation option; at this time, the server may generate the settlement page according to the received first trigger message. It should be noted that, in this way, when the first trigger message is sent, the reading result of the reader may also be carried in the first trigger message. That is, for the reader, when a specific trigger instruction is received through the operation option, a first trigger message may be sent to the server, and the read result (which may include information of a plurality of commodity objects) may be submitted to the server at the same time. For the server, the information of the plurality of commodity objects read by the reader may be received at the same time, and the target page may be generated according to the information. Of course, in this manner of triggering through the operation option set on the reader, the submission of the specific reading result may also be performed in other manners, for example, the submission may be performed once every time the reader reads information of a commodity object, and so on, which will be described in detail later.

As still another possible implementation, referring to fig. 2, a storage device 13 for placing the reader is further provided in the physical store, and the reader can be placed on the storage device in a default state where the reader is not used by the first user; in a preferred implementation, the storage device may also be used to charge the reader. In this case, the reader may further include a sensing device for sensing status information taken from or placed back on the storage device; in this way, when a first user enters the physical store and needs to make a purchase, a reader can be taken down from the storage device, and at the moment, the reader can sense the event that the reader is taken down through the sensing device. Thus, the event that the reader is placed back in the storage device can be used as a trigger to send a second trigger message to the server; at this time, the server may generate the target page according to the received second trigger message. It should be noted here that, in the manner of triggering by sensing the event that the reader is put back to the storage device, the specific reading result may also be submitted to the server in various manners, for example, in one of the manners, the reading result of the reader may be directly carried in the second trigger message. Or, in another mode, the reader may also submit while reading, that is, the reader may initiate submission to the server every time the reader reads information of one commodity object, and so on.

The implementation mode that the readers are uniformly stored through the storage equipment and are triggered by the event of putting back the storage equipment can more conveniently manage the readers and prevent the first user from placing the readers at other places at any time. In addition, since the action of returning the reader to the storage device has a relatively clear direction, that is, the first user has already finished purchasing the goods and needs to settle for leaving the store, the event can be directly used as a trigger condition, and no additional setting is needed. In addition, by the mode, operation options such as physical keys do not need to be arranged on the reader, and therefore the purposes of preventing misoperation of the first user and the like can be achieved.

In addition, in the case that the event of replacing the reader into the storage device is taken as a trigger condition, when the reader senses that the reader is removed from the storage device through the sensing device, the reader can also submit a notification message to the server, and the notification message carries the identification information of the reader; in this way, the server may specifically know that the reader is already in use, and may also allocate a data storage resource to the reader according to the notification message, so as to store the reading result of the reader. That is, regarding the reading result of the reader, whether submitted to the server together upon receiving the trigger event or submitted to the server while reading, a specific storage resource may be allocated by the server for saving the specifically received reading result information.

The above describes a specific manner of sending the trigger message to the server, as described above, the information of each commodity object read by the reader may be directly carried in the trigger message to be submitted to the server, or in another manner, the information of the corresponding commodity object and the identification information of the reader may be submitted to the server each time when reading of one electronic tag is completed, so that the commodity object information read by the same reader each time may be stored according to the identification information of the reader. For example, in one mode, the information stored at the server side may be as shown in table 1:

TABLE 1

Under the condition that the commodity object information which is specifically read can be submitted to the server, the reader only has the reading function without storing the specifically read information, and therefore the cost of the reader is favorably reduced. In addition, in this way, since the server can more timely acquire the information of the commodity object currently being read by the first user, more information can be provided based on the information, wherein the information can include some information related to promotion activities and the like in the entity shop.

For example, in one implementation, the server may pre-store promotional activity information in the physical store, and the specific promotional activity information may include condition information that needs to be satisfied and corresponding offer information. The specific condition information may include: full xx minus xx, or full xx may buy some associated commodity at a specific price, or, whenever some specified commodity object is bought, some associated commodity may be bought at a specific price, and so on. Therefore, the server can also timely know which commodity objects are read by a certain user, so that whether the commodity objects which are purchased meet the conditions corresponding to a certain activity or not can be judged in real time, and if so, the prompt information of the activity information can be provided for the user. For example, it is prompted that it has met a certain condition, may enjoy a certain benefit, and so on.

For example, in one of the manners, a specific reader may be provided with a signal output device such as a display screen or an audio player, and the server may directly send the specific prompt information to the corresponding reader, and the reader displays the specific prompt information or plays the specific prompt information in voice.

Or, in another mode, because in the embodiment of the present application, the specific electronic tag is set in the shelf area corresponding to the goods corresponding to the specific goods object, and generally, the position of the same electronic tag is fixed (unless the goods stored in the shelf area corresponding to the specific goods are changed), after a user reads the electronic tag corresponding to a certain goods object by using a reader, the position of the user may be actually determined according to the position of the electronic tag. Therefore, in order to avoid increasing the cost of the reader, specific signal output devices can be arranged in the shelf area corresponding to the goods. In this way, when the server receives a certain reading result, if the condition corresponding to a certain activity is found to be met and a signal output device is arranged at the position of the goods corresponding to the commodity object, the prompt information about the specific preferential mode can be output to the signal output device corresponding to the position.

That is, in this way, the server may also store the corresponding relationship between the specific commodity object identifier and the signal output device identifier in advance, so that, as long as it is determined that the condition of a certain promotion activity is satisfied when the reading result of a certain commodity object submitted by a certain reader is received, the related prompt information of the specific activity may be sent to the signal output device corresponding to the commodity object identifier.

For example, in one mode, the information stored in the server may be as shown in table 2:

TABLE 2

Wherein, to above-mentioned scene, no matter be through the prompt message of reader direct output preferential activity, still export through the signal output equipment that the goods corresponds set up in the goods shelf region, more suitable activity information can be, the condition is: reading an electronic tag corresponding to a certain specified commodity object (such as a steamed stuffed bun), wherein the preferential mode is as follows: a certain associated commodity object is purchased at a certain specified price (e.g., a bottle of cola may be purchased at a 2-dollar price, etc.). And the goods corresponding to the related goods object can be directly placed in the preset range near the position of the appointed goods object, and meanwhile, the signal output equipment can be arranged at the position. In this way, once the server finds that a user has read an electronic tag corresponding to a specific merchandise object, it may send prompt information about a specific activity to the reader or a signal output device associated with the location of the specific merchandise object, for example, to prompt that the user can purchase an associated merchandise object at a certain price. In this way, the related commodity object is located near the current position, so that the user can conveniently and directly select and purchase the related commodity object. Therefore, the effectiveness of the prompt message can be improved, and the participation degree of the user in specific activities can also be improved.

The above introduces the specific trigger mode of the reader, the mode and the time for submitting the reading result, and the like, and after the server generates the specific target page based on the specific trigger message, the reading result and other information, the target page can be transmitted to the target terminal device for display through some modes, and then the first user can perform subsequent settlement and other processing through the target terminal device.

There may be various target terminal devices, for example, a self-checkout terminal device deployed in a physical store, or a mobile terminal device associated with the first user, in one case. The target terminal device may obtain the target page information in a plurality of ways, for example, in one way, the server may directly generate a graphic code according to the network address information allocated to the target page, and return the graphic code to the reader. At this time, since the reader may be equipped with a display screen, the reader may display the graphic code, and further, a specific reading result (including information of at least one commodity object) may be imported into the self-service settlement terminal device for display in a manner that the self-service settlement terminal device in the physical store scans the graphic code. Or, scanning the graphic code through a related application program in mobile terminal equipment such as a mobile phone related to the first user, importing a specific reading result into the mobile terminal equipment for display, and the like.

Alternatively, in another implementation manner, as described above, a reader storage device may be further disposed in the physical store, and after the first user completes the shopping, the first user may replace the reader storage device with the reader storage device, and may trigger the generation of the specific target page. In the triggering mode, in order to more conveniently import the reading result to the target terminal device, the triggering mode information (which can be directly carried in the second triggering message) can be notified to the server, so that the server can automatically send the relevant data of the target page bearing the reading result information to one self-service settlement terminal device in the entity shop. In other words, in this way, the information of the target page can be provided to the self-service settlement terminal device without executing the code scanning operation, so that the operation path of the user can be shortened, and the user experience can be further improved.
