The above formulas and related contents in step 303 and step 305 are regarded as an inventive point of the embodiments of the present disclosure, and further solve the technical problems mentioned in the background "slow consumption of inventory of goods, reduced utilization of storage space, and increased maintenance cost of goods". The factors that lead to slow consumption of the inventory of the goods, the reduction of the utilization rate of the storage space and the increase of the maintenance cost of the goods are as follows: the conventional settlement equipment control method is often used for artificially determining a target value transfer value of an article according to the value transfer condition of the article, the life cycle of the article and the like so as to control the settlement equipment. Further, it is difficult to increase the commodity circulation rate and increase the user traffic after controlling the settlement device to update the commodity value information based on the target value circulation value determined subjectively by human. If the factors are solved, the effects of improving the commodity circulation rate, improving the consumption speed of commodity inventory and the utilization rate of storage space and reducing the commodity maintenance cost can be achieved. To achieve this, the present disclosure first determines a value reduction value using attribute information of the article itself. In determining the value reduction value, various aspects of the attribute information of the article are taken into account. The shorter the remaining shelf life of the item and the more inventory, the lower the value (e.g., sales price) of the item is indicated to increase the turnover and reduce inventory. The shorter the remaining shelf life of the article is, the more the stock is, the smaller the value reduction value is obtained, which indicates that the greater the value reduction force on the article is, and the more the article is beneficial to improving the turnover rate of the article. Then, on the basis of the obtained value reduction value, the value transfer value of the article is further adjusted from the viewpoint of the number of value transfers, the number of value transfer reductions, and the value transfer amount, taking the demand condition of the article into comprehensive consideration. Therefore, the target value transfer value obtained after adjustment according to the historical value transfer condition of the article better meets the requirement condition of the article. Therefore, the settlement equipment can be controlled to update the item value information by using the accurate target item value information. Thus, the user can be attracted and the user traffic can be increased. Furthermore, the circulation rate of the articles is improved, the consumption speed of article inventory and the utilization rate of storage space are improved, and the article maintenance cost is reduced.

In some optional implementation manners of some embodiments, the determining, by the execution subject, a target value transfer value corresponding to each target item information in the target item information set based on the value-reduced value set, the normalized target item demand information set, and the target item information set to obtain a target value transfer value set may include:

first, determining a value reduction parameter according to a value reduction value corresponding to the target article information and a maximum value reduction value and a minimum value reduction value in the value reduction value set.

And secondly, determining the value reduction parameter, the value transfer value included in the target article information and the normalized value transfer frequency included in the normalized target article demand information corresponding to the target article information, and determining the product value of the normalized value transfer reduction frequency and the normalized value transfer quantity as the target value transfer value.

And step 306, generating a target item value information set based on the target item information set and the target value transfer value set.

Step 307, the settlement device in the target location is controlled with the target item value information set to update the item value information.

In some embodiments, the specific implementation manner and technical effects of steps 306-307 can refer to steps 204-205 in those embodiments corresponding to fig. 2, which are not described herein again.

As can be seen from fig. 3, compared with the description of some embodiments corresponding to fig. 2, the flow 300 of the settlement device control method in some embodiments corresponding to fig. 3 is shown. First, a value reduction value is determined using the attribute information of the article itself. In determining the value reduction value, various aspects of the attribute information of the article are taken into account. The shorter the remaining shelf life of the item and the more inventory, the lower the value (e.g., sales price) of the item is indicated to increase the turnover and reduce inventory. The shorter the remaining shelf life of the article is, the more the stock is, the smaller the value reduction value is obtained, which indicates that the greater the value reduction force on the article is, and the more the article is beneficial to improving the turnover rate of the article. Then, on the basis of the obtained value reduction value, the value transfer value of the article is further adjusted from the viewpoint of the number of value transfers, the number of value transfer reductions, and the value transfer amount, taking the demand condition of the article into comprehensive consideration. Therefore, the target value transfer value obtained after adjustment according to the historical value transfer condition of the article better meets the requirement condition of the article. Therefore, the settlement equipment can be controlled to update the item value information by using the accurate target item value information. Thus, the user can be attracted and the user traffic can be increased. Furthermore, the circulation rate of the articles is improved, the consumption speed of article inventory and the utilization rate of storage space are improved, and the article maintenance cost is reduced.
