Description

Data transmission method based on code conversion, related equipment and system

Technical Field

The invention relates to the field of data transmission, in particular to a data transmission method, related equipment and a system for data distributed collection and batch transmission, and places using the method, the equipment and the system.

Background

With the development of coding technology, bar codes and two-dimensional codes are widely applied in the fields of commodity circulation, consumption and payment, electronic commerce, logistics storage, food service, high-tech electronic products and the like, specific application scenes comprise libraries, banks, POS (point of sale) cash register systems, medical and health, catering, traveling, shopping and the like, and meanwhile updated coding technologies and applications of three-dimensional codes, four-dimensional codes, even five-dimensional codes and the like are gradually developed and applied.

In terms of data storage capacity, along with the improvement of the dimension of a code system, the data storage capacity of the code system is greatly increased, for example, the information capacity of a two-dimensional code can reach dozens of times of that of a one-dimensional bar code, and the capacity of a three-dimensional code is further larger than that of the two-dimensional code. Therefore, one two-dimensional code can contain information of a plurality of bar codes, and one three-dimensional code can further contain information of a plurality of two-dimensional codes and/or bar codes. However, although the capacity of the code has been increased, it is still small relative to conventional data transmission media, often used only for adding marking information to a particular item, and as a carrier for linking or information identification. The method mainly depends on coding for data transmission and has no large-scale application precedent. In addition, in the fields of commodity retail and logistics, the problems of complex scattered information collection and transmission procedures, low efficiency, high cost and the like exist, and no better solution exists at present.

Shopping places such as supermarkets, shopping malls, convenience stores and the like play an important role in the life of modern human beings, the types of large supermarket management products can reach thousands, and codes meeting a certain standard, generally one-dimensional codes or two-dimensional codes such as bar codes, are printed on regular commodity packages sold in supermarkets all over the world. Typical problems with today's supermarkets include that during peak shopping periods, customers often queue up long queues in front of the cashier desk of the supermarket to wait for settlement, which seriously affects the shopping experience of people. The problem stems from the current cash register settlement system and flow in the supermarket. At present, a shopping settlement system in a supermarket mainly depends on a bar code scanning technology to read commodity information, a cashier generally scans a code of a commodity purchased by a customer or manually inputs information, purchased commodity data is led into a cash register to be gathered and settled, and then the customer pays in cash, card swiping, mobile phone APP, NFC and other modes. This greatly increases the queue time since manual code scanning and settlement payments all require the customer to complete in sequence before the checkout counter.

In the field of logistics and warehousing, scanning of goods document codes, statistics of goods delivery information in the express delivery and delivery industry, consumption settlement in the retail industry, inventory checking and management of business surpasses also have application requirements on scattered information collection and batch transmission.

Since the technical solutions of the present invention belong to a general inventive concept, the descriptions and limitations of technical features related to the technical solutions of the method, the apparatus, the system, and the like in the specification are also applicable to the same or corresponding technical features related to other technical solutions. The following is a detailed description with reference to the technical solutions.

The invention provides a data transmission method based on code conversion. In the present invention, the low-dimensional code and the high-dimensional code correspond to each other, and since the barcode belongs to a one-dimensional code and the information contained in the barcode is usually a set of numbers and/or characters, the numbers and characters are included in the low-dimensional code category, and the numbers and characters are regarded as a one-dimensional code as well as the barcode. When the low-dimensional code is a one-dimensional code such as a bar code, the high-dimensional code can be a two-dimensional code or a code system above the two-dimensional code; when the low-dimensional code is a two-dimensional code, the high-dimensional code may be a three-dimensional code or a code system thereof.

Because the higher the dimension of the code system is, the larger the storage capacity of the code system to the information is, the invention integrates and processes a large amount of acquired low-dimensional code information into a small amount of high-dimensional codes and outputs the high-dimensional codes, thereby realizing the quick transmission and batch processing of the information. Of course, the transmission of such information does not depend on the improvement of the dimension of the code system completely, for example, when the amount of data is small, a plurality of low-dimensional codes with less stored information may be reintegrated into one low-dimensional code with higher capacity storing all the above information, or the information contained in one low-dimensional code may be reintegrated into another low-dimensional code after being encrypted or otherwise processed, and then output. Here, the low-dimensional code and the high-dimensional code include, because their definitions are relative to each other: the above-described cases are also applicable to one-dimensional codes, two-dimensional codes, three-dimensional codes, four-dimensional codes, five-dimensional codes, and even higher-dimensional codes, and combinations thereof. And the code system dimension is not necessarily increased step by step, for example, a combination of a plurality of numbers or characters can be integrated into one or a plurality of bar codes, two-dimensional codes or higher dimension codes to be output, and a plurality of bar codes and/or two-dimensional codes can be integrated into one or a plurality of two-dimensional codes, three-dimensional codes or higher dimension codes to be output. That is, the low-dimensional code may be a combination of a barcode and a two-dimensional code, and the high-dimensional code output at this time may be a combination of a three-dimensional code and/or a four-dimensional code, and may still be a two-dimensional code when output in the low-dimensional code. More specifically, for the input and output code system, when one of the one-dimensional code, the two-dimensional code, and the three-dimensional code, or any combination thereof, is used as the low-dimensional code, the one of the two-dimensional code, the three-dimensional code, the four-dimensional code, and the five-dimensional code, or any combination thereof, which is used as the high-dimensional code, may be output as the low-dimensional code, or one of the one-dimensional code, the two-dimensional code, and the three-dimensional code, or any combination thereof, may be output as the low-dimensional code when the data capacity allows.

By analogy, the above-mentioned various interconversion between code systems are all the subject matter disclosed in the present invention. In this case, it is easy to understand that the number of high-dimensional codes after integration is generally equal to or less than the number of low-dimensional codes before integration. Various low-dimensional codes and high-dimensional codes, such as bar codes, two-dimensional codes, three-dimensional codes and the like, according to the present invention include various specific types that can be selected. For example, the barcode includes various types such as EAN, UPC, Code39, Codabar, Code25, Code93, Code128, ITF25 and the like based on different standards, the two-dimensional Code also includes various types such as PDF417, QRCCode, Data Matrix, Maxi Code, Code 49, Code 16K, Code One and the like based on different standards, and the present invention is not limited by specific types of each Code system, and is generally referred to as barcode, two-dimensional Code, three-dimensional Code and the like. In addition, in the following description of the present invention, in order to make the content of the present invention more clearly understood by those skilled in the art, only one or more specific code systems within the range of the low-dimensional code or the high-dimensional code are used for exemplary description, for example, common bar codes, two-dimensional codes and three-dimensional codes are respectively used as typical examples of the low-dimensional code and the high-dimensional code, and therefore, a detailed description of all combinations of code systems in various specific situations is not repeated, and those skilled in the art should understand that the description thereof is also applicable to other code systems and combinations thereof.

The high-dimensional code and the low-dimensional code related to the invention generally meet the requirement of symbol recognition and have identifiability. One-dimensional codes are generally considered to store and mark information based on one-dimensional variables, such as bar codes, dot codes, ring codes, and the like, and the expression form includes long and short codes, wide and narrow codes, presence or absence codes, and the like; the two-dimensional code is added with one-dimensional variable, such as a common matrix two-dimensional code; the three-dimensional code further adds a variable, such as color and gray scale, and the information storage capacity is increased by constructing a dimension in the depth direction; in the same way, with the increase of variables contained in the code, a higher-dimensional code can be constructed, for example, a four-dimensional code can be a result obtained by operating the variables contained in the three-dimensional code according to a rule, for example, the coded image is inverted, inclined and repeatedly coded again; the five-dimensional code can be obtained by adding one more operation on the basis of the five-dimensional code, or can be obtained by adding a time variable on the basis of the four-dimensional code, for example, the color or the pattern is gradually changed within a certain time, and the change process is collected and decoded in the encoding and reading process. Of course, the four-dimensional code may be added to the three-dimensional code in a time variable manner. The above examples are only illustrative, and the code with higher dimension can be designed and manufactured by increasing the variables included in the code, and the variables added by the three-dimensional code, the four-dimensional code, and the five-dimensional code with respect to the low-dimensional code are not limited to the above examples. Although the invention is applied to high-dimensional codes only up to five-dimensional codes and low-dimensional codes only up to three-dimensional codes, it is also possible for high-dimensional codes and low-dimensional codes to use five-dimensional and three-dimensional or more codes, respectively, based on the inventive concept. However, as the encoding dimension increases, the performance requirements of devices such as encoding generation, output, receiving and the like also increase correspondingly, and what kind of encoding is used should be determined according to actual needs. At present, the most widely used bar codes and two-dimensional codes are popularized just because of good compatibility to various devices. For the invention, when the amount of collected information is large, the system can use a plurality of lower dimension codes by splitting the data, or use a higher dimension code with larger capacity to transmit the data under the permission of equipment configuration, and the two codes can also be mutually replaced to ensure the stability and reliability of data transmission.

The main objects of information collection and data transmission are defined as target information in the present invention. The target information comprises various information of real or virtual objects and various information of tangible or intangible objects. The items may be items, labor, results, contracts, indicia, tickets, prices, etc. in various forms of presentation. The object represents an object corresponding to information contained in the code, and can be any object, and because the object is not the object but the target information of the object for information collection and data transmission, various objects, whether real or virtual, tangible or intangible, can be applied to the invention. This also represents a broad field of applicability of the invention. However, the kind of object will affect the kind of target information and the application field of the present invention. The subject information may be various kinds of information related to the counterpart, such as the name, characteristics, assigned number, and the like of the article. The subject information is not limited in its form of presentation, but is preferably compact to facilitate collection, storage, and transmission of the information. For example, in the field of shopping settlement, when the object is a commodity, the corresponding target information may be commodity identification information; in the field of logistics, when the object is a cargo, the corresponding target information may be freight identification information or the like. For the convenience of understanding the disclosure, the following description of related objects sometimes uses only one or more of the physical objects as an exemplary description, such as commodities in the field of shopping settlement, goods in the field of logistics, etc., as a typical example of the objects, and the detailed description is omitted to avoid the possibility of exhausting everything in various specific situations, and those skilled in the art should understand that the inventive concept is applicable to various objects and the related fields thereof.

The mobile terminal or the mobile terminal device and the carrier of the invention can comprise: at least one of a cell phone, an electronic book, a tablet or other portable computer, a smart watch, a smart bracelet, smart glasses or other wearable smart electronic devices, a handheld scanner, or other electronic devices having an information input unit and a display unit. The mobile terminal is preferably and commonly a mobile phone, and as the mobile phone with a camera and a large display screen is basically popularized at present, the mobile phone is provided with an information input unit and a display unit, meets the requirements of functions such as graphic image information reading and displaying in configuration, and can be provided with a corresponding application program (APP), so that the mobile phone is used as the mobile terminal, the mobile terminal accords with the operation habit of a user when being applied to scenes such as shopping settlement, and the like, the hardware configuration cost does not need to be additionally increased, and meanwhile, the storage and operation processing capacity of the smart phone also meets the performance requirements of data collection, processing and output as the mobile terminal.

The mobile terminal can also select other electronic products such as a tablet personal computer or an intelligent watch, a touch screen of the products generally integrates an information input function and a display function, has certain operation processing and storage capacity, can be provided with a corresponding application program, and can meet the performance requirements of reading, recoding and outputting coded information. By analogy, other electronic devices with an information input unit and a display unit can be used as the mobile terminal of the invention. Therefore, a portable computer, a smart bracelet, smart glasses or other wearable electronic devices, a handheld scanner, and the like, which meet the above requirements, can be used as an alternative for the mobile terminal. For application scenarios such as inventory checking and logistics statistics, a user may be allowed to use a special portable scanner, and it is also preferable to allow the user to use a self-contained electronic device, such as a mobile phone, with a corresponding APP installed, as a mobile terminal.

The mobile terminal may include an information input unit to implement an information input acquisition function, which may be a Charge Coupled Device (CCD) or a contact sensor device (CIS or lid), such as a camera, an infrared or laser scanning assembly, or other optical or electronic components, to acquire information contained therein by scanning a low-dimensional code such as a one-dimensional code or a two-dimensional code. The scanning is understood in a broad sense, and includes various coded information acquisition modes related to photoelectric technical means, and is not limited to progressive, interlaced or item-by-item identification reading modes of a target by using specific technical means, but also can be modes of firstly acquiring an image as a whole, then identifying information contained in the image and the like, and the scanning and code scanning are used for describing and conforming to the intuitive operation feeling of people on the reading of coded information. The information input unit is not limited to a component that acquires graphics and images, but may also include a component that processes an acquired graphics image to obtain information contained therein, so as to implement a function of data input as a whole. When information such as numbers and characters included in the low dimensional code category can be recognized by scanning based on symbol and character recognition technology, it is preferable to input information by scanning.

However, although the above description has been given by taking the mobile terminal as an example to acquire information by scanning, the information input unit is not limited to acquiring data by scanning function, and may acquire information by manual input or the like. In practical application, whether the goods package, the logistics waybill or the shelf label is used, the codes of the goods package, the logistics waybill or the shelf label are sometimes displayed unclearly or are difficult to obtain, for example, the codes are stained or other labels are used for marking the goods and covering the original codes, at this time, the mobile terminal cannot read data successfully through scanning the codes, at this time, the goods number, the name, the waybill number or the information marked on the codes through numbers or symbols can be selected to be manually input, so that the low-dimensional code information of the goods can be read, and the information and other information obtained through scanning are stored in the memory of the mobile terminal together. For the situation that the code cannot be scanned smoothly, the manual input mode is a necessary supplement. The manual input mode can be performed by modes other than scanning, such as real or virtual keyboard manual operation, voice recognition operation and the like of the mobile terminal. When non-code information such as a product name and a product number can be recognized by scanning based on a symbol and character recognition technique, it is preferable to input the information by scanning. If the manual input mode is more convenient, the scanning mode can be replaced wholly or partially. In addition, the information input unit may also acquire and collect information by means of near field communication technology, mobile communication technology, wireless local area network technology, or the like.

The display unit of the mobile terminal can be a display screen assembly or a projection assembly and related components and components for displaying and outputting the regenerated codes. For mobile terminal electronic equipment with a touch screen, the screen is an information input device and a display device, and therefore can belong to an information input unit and a display unit at the same time. For example, the mobile terminal may display the acquired encoded information and the corresponding number through a screen, where the screen belongs to the display unit, and may also increase or decrease or delete the type and/or the number of the object corresponding to the encoded information in response to a user operation by using a touch function of the screen, where the screen belongs to the information input unit.

The memory of the mobile terminal may include various other information besides the target information in the obtained code, such as name, price, type, quantity, weight, benefit, circulation, mark, grade, and other information of the target information, and the like, where the target may be an entity or a virtual article, such as an entity or a virtual article, and may also be those mentioned above; various information related to coding, such as information related to coding sequence, identification, conversion, linking, encryption and the like, or other information related to coding conversion and/or transmission and the like, which are required for realizing complete and smooth transmission of the coded information, can be contained, and the information related to coding conversion or identification information can comprise information required for separating, marking, format adjustment, conversion and the like of the collected information; various information related to the user identity or consumption process may be included, such as user identity information, communication information, member information, authentication information, credit information, rights and interests information, mobile terminal information, or other user-related information, order information, payment information, verification information, consumption trajectory information, or other consumption-related information.

The information contained in the low-dimensional code may be only the target information, or may contain other information related to the subsequent application, and when the low-dimensional code information is read, all the acquired information may be stored, and preferably, only the target information and the useful information are stored. When the mobile terminal performs the integration processing of the stored information and re-encodes the information, only the desired target information or some specific information may be incorporated, or necessary other information may be incorporated together with the target information, and these information are preferably used for related purposes such as shopping settlement, logistics statistics, inventory check, information transmission, and the like. For example, a specific separation or identification mark can be added to the collected information to distinguish the information type or item, so as to facilitate the identification comparison of the information in the subsequent data processing. The integration processing can also be synchronously performed during information collection, namely, the information is directly converted into a specific format to be processed and stored while being acquired.

The mobile terminal can mark the number of the first acquired target information as an initial value 1, the number mark can be configured by the mobile terminal or can be acquired from the coded information, when the same target information is acquired for multiple times, the same target information can be combined, only one target information is reserved and the number is accumulated, so that the number is increased while the target information is unchanged, and the storage space is saved. Because the target information is associated with the corresponding quantity mark, the target information and the quantity mark thereof need to be stored in the memory of the mobile terminal together, and when a plurality of different target information exist, the different target information is preferably stored in the memory in a separated manner; the subject information and the quantity indicia thereof may be stored together or separately, and the separation may be the same as or different from the separation between the subject information. The quantity marking and storing mode is favorable for the data receiving end to correctly identify the species and quantity of the target after reading the information.

When at least one, or dozens or even hundreds of pieces of target information are already stored in the memory of the mobile terminal, a customer can choose to increase or decrease or delete the types and the corresponding numbers of the target information stored in the memory. When the information of the object targets needs to be deleted, the deletion can be selected in corresponding APPs installed by the mobile terminal, and when the number of the consumers is increased or decreased, the increase and decrease operation can be performed in the APPs. The preferred operation mode includes that the low-dimensional code of the selected article is scanned again, the target information of the article, such as the corresponding bar code information, is automatically set on the display interface of the mobile terminal and/or highlighted, and the number corresponding to the article or the target information thereof in the memory is displayed at the same time, and the user can increase or decrease the target information, for example, using the button corresponding to the "+" - "symbol; when the number is reduced to 0, directly deleting or inquiring whether to delete the article, directly deleting the object information in the memory after deletion, or transferring the deleted article area temporarily stored in the memory for recovery or automatic deletion later. When the display screen of a mobile terminal, such as a mobile phone, is large enough, stored article information, such as a target information list, can be displayed simultaneously below a scanning area, the article information list is sequentially arranged according to a reading sequence, and the target information of the newly input article is automatically updated to the head to be displayed each time, so that a user can conveniently increase and decrease the target information list.

However, in order to simplify the program operation pressure, the mobile terminal may not perform quantity marking on the target information, and only sequentially arrange and separately store the acquired target information of each object according to the reading sequence. When the data receiving end reads data, the target information of a plurality of similar articles can be read for a plurality of times and processed in batch. When the target information needs to be deleted, the mobile terminal can respond to the user operation to enter a deletion mode, the target information input again is deleted, and multiple items of target information can be deleted by repeated operation.

After the target species and the number are determined, the mobile terminal operates, for example, clicks a corresponding key on the APP interface to issue an instruction, integrates and re-encodes the target information and/or other information stored in the memory, and outputs the target information and/or other information in the form of a high-dimensional code and/or a low-dimensional code containing the same or more information through a display unit of the mobile terminal. The display unit usually includes a graphic image display interface, such as a display screen of various electronic devices, and may also be an image projected by the projection device. Meanwhile, the data receiving end reads and decodes the high-dimensional code and/or the low-dimensional code output by the display unit of the mobile terminal to acquire the target information and/or other information contained in the code, thereby realizing data transmission. A common data receiving device may be, for example, a desktop scanner or a handheld scanner.

When more target information is collected, the amount of information stored in the memory of the mobile terminal is more, which may result in a larger generated code size or a denser pixel array. At this time, if the resolution of the data receiving device at the data receiving end is insufficient, data reading is difficult. For example, the performance requirements of the three-dimensional code on the scanning device are often higher than those of the two-dimensional code, and the performance requirements of the two-dimensional code with large information content on the scanning device are higher than those of the two-dimensional code with small information content. In this case, the generated code system and number may be automatically adjusted according to the performance configuration of the data receiving device and the mobile terminal display unit, for example, when the generated high-dimensional code information content exceeds a preset certain threshold, the data is automatically decomposed, a plurality of codes with information content within the threshold range are generated, the codes are continuously read when the information is read, or the code dimension is reduced to meet the requirement of the device performance. The adjustment of the coding scheme and the number is preferably done automatically, and may also allow the user to control it manually.

In the case where the resolution of a data receiving device, such as a code scanning device, is sufficiently high, the graphic image display performance of the mobile terminal is also required, and there may be a case where the data cannot be completely read. For example, for the same mobile terminal device, under the condition of the same display area, the capacity of the two-dimensional code for storing information is smaller than that of the three-dimensional code, that is, for the information with the same capacity, the two-dimensional code needs a larger display area than the three-dimensional code, and when the receiving area of the scanning device is limited, the situation that the two-dimensional code cannot be read may be caused; in addition, due to the difference of the mobile terminal devices, for example, the display screen area of the tablet computer is generally larger than that of the mobile phone, and the resolution is often smaller than that of the mobile phone, when the tablet computer is used as the mobile terminal and displays a high-dimensional code, the image area is generally larger, which may cause the reading area of the receiving device to be exceeded. Therefore, the mobile terminal of the invention can also set a threshold value of the display area or the data content according to the performance condition of the equipment, ensure that the generated code can be read by a data receiving end, and can automatically generate a plurality of codes with the same dimension or promote the dimension of a code system when the generated code exceeds the threshold value. For example, data contained in one high-capacity two-dimensional code can be split and displayed into a plurality of low-capacity two-dimensional codes to be read one by one, or data contained in one large-area high-capacity two-dimensional code can be converted and displayed into a small-area three-dimensional code containing the same content, so that effective reading can be performed. Of course, the codes output by the display unit of the mobile terminal can also be any combination of one or more high-dimensional codes and one or more low-dimensional codes, and the different-dimensional codes can also be represented as dynamic images, static images or a combination thereof in a representation form.

When the mobile terminal uses a plurality of codes for display, the reading mark information, such as coding sequence information and coding identification information, can be added in the mobile terminal, and the data receiving end can verify the number of codes required to be received through the information. The code quantity information can be received through the first code, the quantity marks are verified one by one in the codes received later, and after the quantity marks are all verified, the code receiving is finished. The data receiving end can enter the next step only after verifying that all marked codes are received or the number of received codes meets the requirement. The mobile terminal can also communicate with the data receiving end through the server to inform the data receiving end of the number of codes which need to be read continuously, and the server can send information to the mobile terminal to display the next code when one code is read successfully; or after the code reading is finished, feeding back information to the mobile terminal through the server to uniformly verify the reading integrity, and prompting when the code is not completely read, preferably prompting at the mobile terminal and the data receiving terminal simultaneously. When only one code is displayed, various types of information related to the transmission of the coded information may also be included in the code. More specifically, for example, the first code includes information 1/3 indicating that the transmission includes 3 codes, and the first code is the first code and indicates that the third code has been received when the third code is received 3/3; if the code information is found to be missing 2/3, the second code is indicated to be missed, and the second code can be displayed for additional reading through communication between the server and the mobile terminal or manual operation of a user. Other numbers of codes may be analogized in turn, and the information "1/3" is an exemplary expression pattern of coding order information or code identification information, and does not exclude other patterns, which mark the present code number and the total code number, and the position information of the present code in the total code.

When the mobile terminal integrates and re-encodes the information, the encryption is preferably performed, and the data receiving end can acquire correct information in the code after decrypting the encrypted code. Therefore, the safety and correct transmission of data information can be protected, the data receiving end is prevented from receiving data by counterfeiting or mistake, when the code output by the mobile terminal contains the personal information of the user, the privacy can be prevented from being revealed, and the safety of the whole data transmission link is improved.

In order to improve the user's recognition of the relevance between the target information collected by the mobile terminal and the corresponding object, the target information may be uploaded to the server if conditions allow, the corresponding object may be compared and identified, and then more detailed information may be retrieved, for example, after the corresponding commodity is identified by the commodity identification information, more detailed commodity information such as the name, price, model, date, place of production, weight, and image of the commodity stored in the server may be fed back to the mobile terminal to assist in operations such as shopping settlement.

The data receiving end can comprise a data receiving unit and a data processing unit which are respectively responsible for receiving data and decoding the received data, and can also comprise related equipment and units according to the application requirements of the received data. The data receiving end scans and decodes the codes output by the display unit of the mobile terminal to acquire various information contained in the codes; the data receiving device included in the data receiving end may be various types of optoelectronic devices such as a desktop scanner or a handheld scanner, for example, various types of scanning devices such as a Charge Coupled Device (CCD) or a contact sensor device (CIS or lid), preferably an infrared ray, a laser scanning assembly, a camera, or other optical or optoelectronic devices, and acquires information included therein by scanning and recognizing codes. Desktop scanners are preferred, since the code may contain more information, especially for three-dimensional codes and higher dimensional code systems, which place higher demands on the resolution and recognition rate of the scanning device. When the data receiving end receives the small two-dimensional code or the bar code, the common handheld scanner can meet the requirement. Therefore, the data receiving end of the invention can use various readers such as image readers, infrared or laser readers and the like according to the requirements of specific application scenes so as to receive information of bar codes, two-dimensional codes, three-dimensional codes, four-dimensional codes, five-dimensional codes and other types of codes.

The invention also provides a data transmission device based on code conversion, and the steps of the method in the technical scheme can be realized when the computer program stored in the memory of the data transmission device is executed by the processor. The device includes a processor and memory and preferably also a display. The display is preferably a touch screen or a projection display device. The apparatus may include a controller that controls a processor to execute computer programs stored in a memory to implement control of program modules and method steps.

The present invention also provides a computer-readable storage medium, on which one or more computer programs are stored, which, when executed by a processor, are able to implement the steps of the method according to the above-mentioned solution. The storage medium includes a processor and memory and preferably also includes a display. The display is preferably a touch screen or a projection display device. The storage medium may preferably include a controller that controls a processor to execute computer programs stored in the memory to implement control of the program modules and method steps.

The invention also provides the mobile terminal equipment. The technical scheme of the invention for data transmission based on code conversion can realize the scattered collection and the centralized batch transmission of scattered information, and can be used in various fields including shopping settlement. Specifically, when the article coding information collected by the mobile terminal device in a dispersed manner is information such as codes of commodities related to a supermarket, a warehouse and logistics, the application in various fields such as shopping settlement, inventory checking or logistics statistics can be realized, the mobile terminal device collects commodity identification information in a commodity low-dimensional code and outputs the commodity identification information in a recoding manner for an external data receiving device to obtain, and thus data transmission is realized. The description of the mobile terminal related content in the rest of the description is also applicable to the mobile terminal device in each specific application scene.

Along with the promotion of portable intelligent terminal device performance and the popularization in the consumer, the collection of shopping information can be accomplished through mobile terminal equipment such as cell-phone, has greatly reduced the input in the aspect of market supermarket to information acquisition equipment hardware and training, and the cost is reduced, through decentralizing shopping information acquisition's process in customer's shopping process, has reduced the latency of concentrating and carrying out shopping information acquisition before the cashier's desk, has promoted the convenience and the comfort level of a small amount of shopping many times of customer.

The information input unit obtains commodity identification information in one or more commodity low-dimensional codes in a scanning or manual input mode, wherein the commodity identification information comprises at least one of commodity code information, commodity number information, commodity names, commodity price and/or weight information or other information which can be used for identifying commodities or determining commodity prices, and the commodity code can be a bar code, a two-dimensional code, a three-dimensional code, a higher-dimensional code or the like.

At present, codes printed on commodity packages are mainly one-dimensional codes conforming to international or national standards, such as bar codes, commodities can be distinguished and identified through specific code contents, commodity numbers given to different commodities by market supermarkets are also identification marks used for settlement of the specific commodities in the market, and the specific commodities can be indexed through the commodity numbers. In addition, in weighing type goods, only the unit price is labeled before purchase, and although the unit price can be obtained by a method such as a product code, a specific price still needs to be calculated according to a weighing result, so that unit price and/or weight information of the goods is necessary information for identifying the goods in some cases. If a code is given to the article after weighing and determining the price, and the price of the article can be obtained by the code, it is preferable to use the code information as the article identification information. In addition, other information that can be used to identify a product or determine the price of a product should also belong to the category of product identification information.

As described above, the information acquisition by the mobile terminal device is performed by the information input unit through a scanning or a manual input mode, wherein the manual input mode may include a manual input mode or a mode other than the scanning such as voice recognition, and the acquired information may include the commodity identification information in one or more commodity low-dimensional codes, and the information is stored in the memory of the mobile terminal device. The scanning comprises the identification of coded static or dynamic images, which can be performed by a camera or other optical or electronic components of the mobile terminal device. The customer preferably identifies and reads the coded information through a camera of a mobile phone or other portable electronic equipment, and the supermarket staff can collect the commodity information by using the mobile phone with a specific program installed or special equipment, such as a handheld scanner and the like.

Besides the obtained commodity identification information, the memory of the mobile terminal equipment can also contain various other information, such as commodity price information, commodity weight information, commodity quantity information, commodity preference information, commodity circulation information or other commodity settlement related information, various information related to codes required for realizing complete and smooth transmission of coded information, such as coding sequence information, coded identification information, coded conversion information, coded link information, coded encryption information or other coded conversion and/or transmission related information, the coded conversion information can comprise information required for separating, marking, format adjustment, conversion and the like on the collected information, and various information related to user identity or consumption process, such as customer identification information, order information, payment information, verification information, data and the like, Consumption track information or other consumption related information, etc. The other information in the memory may be derived from reading of information such as a product code by the information input unit, for example, various kinds of information obtained in synchronization with the product identification information, or may be information already existing in the memory before the shopping process or configured during or after the shopping process, for example, the customer identification information may be information collected and stored in the memory in advance at the time of APP installation, the code-related information may be information configured at the time of generating a settlement code, the consumption trajectory information may be information gradually generated and stored as shopping progresses, the product quantity information may be configured by the mobile terminal at the time of collecting the information, or may be information obtained from the collected information. Therefore, the other information except the product identification information in the settlement code can be stored in the memory for calling at any time before the settlement code is generated, or can be directly added into the settlement code when the code is generated after the settlement code is acquired.

The mobile terminal equipment marks the quantity of the commodities corresponding to the obtained commodity identification information, the initial value is 1, when the same commodity identification information is obtained for multiple times, only one item of commodity identification information is reserved and the quantity of the commodity identification information is accumulated, and when different commodity identification information is obtained, the commodity identification information and the quantity information of the commodity identification information are stored in a separated mode. The separation of the various types of information may be the same or different, so that the data receiving device is better to identify the information.

When the mobile terminal device performs the integration processing of the stored information and re-encodes the information, only the product identification information or the selected specific information may be incorporated, or necessary other information may be incorporated together with the product identification information, and these pieces of information are preferably used for the related purposes such as shopping settlement and information transmission related to the application scene. For example, a specific separation or identification mark can be added to the collected information to distinguish the information type or item, so as to facilitate the identification comparison of the information in the subsequent data processing. The integration process may also be synchronized at the time of information collection, i.e., the collected shopping-related information is processed and stored in a specific format.

When the various information stored in the memory is integrated, processed and recoded, it preferably includes adding customer identification information to identify the user, for example, the cell phone number or member information of the consumer is marked therein, so that the shopping situation is associated with the information stored in the system, such as discount and benefit which the consumer should enjoy and consumption history, including but not limited to discount and benefit which the consumer should enjoy in the shopping, and obtained points and rebates, during settlement, thereby realizing one operation to process multiple items of information uniformly during settlement, improving the cash collecting efficiency, and bringing the shopping information and shopping track of the consumer into the database to facilitate the subsequent analysis and statistics of the data. When a customer needs to change or delete the commodity information collected by the mobile terminal device, the operation of the customer can refer to the previous description of the invention.

The display unit of the mobile terminal device preferably includes a touch screen, which may be used to display the obtained information such as the commodity identification information and the number of the corresponding commodities, or may be used as an operation interface for manually inputting information, so as to respond to a user operation to increase or decrease or delete the commodity type and/or number corresponding to the commodity identification information, and at this time, the display unit has an information input function. Of course, for a mobile terminal device without a touch screen, the input information can be received through a traditional keyboard operation mode and displayed through a screen.

Displaying the collected information helps the customer to check the shopping information and perform a quick operation, for example, when the customer purchases a plurality of similar products, the customer only needs to repeatedly scan the code of one product, or manually modify the corresponding product quantity, without repeatedly scanning a plurality of products having the same price and code information. Meanwhile, for the commodity which is desired to be abandoned, the commodity information can be directly deleted according to the information provided by the display interface, and the commodity information stored in the memory and the changed result thereof are visually fed back to the user through the display unit. The display unit of the mobile terminal device may be an electronic screen, such as a display screen of a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a VR device, etc., and may also be a projection device when it is inconvenient to display through the screen, such as a device with a smaller display screen area, such as a smart watch, etc. Of course, any other display modes and devices that can satisfy the display function of the mobile terminal device may be applicable.

In the case that the mobile terminal device communicates with the server, the mobile terminal device may upload the collected information such as the identification of the commodity to the server, and thereby may retrieve and display more detailed information stored in the server corresponding to the commodity, such as the name of the commodity, the price, the model, the date, the place of production, the weight, the image, and the like, which is useful for associating the specific commodity with the identification information of the commodity, and the user may also perform operations such as addition, subtraction, deletion, and the like of the commodity on the mobile terminal device more intuitively.

The display unit has another main function of outputting the codes, and after integrating and recoding the one or more commodity identification information and/or other information, the one or more codes are output through the display unit of the mobile terminal device in the form of high-dimensional codes and/or low-dimensional codes for the receiving device to obtain, so that the information transmission is realized. The mobile terminal device is preferably capable of implementing dynamic management of the encoded image depending on the device performance. When the performance that the display unit can provide does not match with the performance of the encoded image receiving device, for example, when the resolution of the displayed image is too high or too low and the area of the displayed image is too small or too large, the information or pixel display condition contained in a single code can be adjusted to adapt to the data receiving device, so as to completely read the information required to be transmitted. The adjustment of the coding display mode comprises the conversion of a coding code system or a coding quantity, the adjustment of the content of coding information and the coding size, the conversion of a coding expression form between a dynamic image and a static image and the like. The matching of the configuration performance between the devices can be determined by the evaluation of the built-in program of the mobile terminal after the information of the relevant devices is pre-collected, or can be completed by the devices automatically or responding to manual operation to adjust the corresponding settings after the codes output by the display unit cannot be read by the receiving devices or the reading failure information is fed back. For example, a customer manually selects to split a single code into a plurality of codes according to the information fed back by the device and output the codes again, or the device automatically increases or decreases the dimension of the code system and then tries to read the data. Of course, the mobile terminal device may also communicate with the data receiving device in the actual application environment, or collect the related device information in the application environment in advance, and automatically adjust the output code display mode according to the information, so as to facilitate the smooth transmission of the information.

It is more preferable that the mobile terminal device collects the relevant device configuration information in advance, and controls the code system and the number of generated codes automatically or in response to manual operation according to the need of data transmission. The related device may be a mobile terminal device and/or a data receiving device. The mobile terminal device collects the self configuration information and/or the position information in advance, obtains the configuration condition of the data receiving device used in the market supermarket or other application scenes, distributes the code output mode provided when different information transmission quantity is distributed in advance, and the device automatically adjusts the code output mode. For example, the encoding is automatically split, the encoding dimensions are raised or lowered, etc. when the number of purchases exceeds a certain threshold. Because the conditions of data receiving equipment used in a market supermarket and the like are relatively simple, when the data receiving equipment is of the same type, the code output mode is determined only according to the shopping quantity and the configuration conditions of the pre-collected mobile terminal equipment; when the models of the data receiving devices are different, only the judgment step of the application scene of the mobile terminal device needs to be added, for example, the shopping place is determined through the position information, the data receiving device of which the applied environment is determined, and then the code output mode is determined according to the shopping quantity and the pre-collected mobile terminal configuration condition. When the quantity of the article information or the content of the coded information collected by the user reaches a preset threshold value, the coded output mode is automatically switched, and the size, the definition, the resolution and the information quantity of the output codes can be guaranteed to be successfully read by a scanner of receiving equipment. When outputting a plurality of codes, the mobile terminal can communicate with the system in advance and inform the number of the codes to ensure that the codes which are continuously output are completely read. Although the model of the mobile terminal device is relatively complex, it is still statistical. The method can effectively improve the success rate of code output and reading and reduce the operation pressure of equipment. The adjustment of the code output mode is preferably performed manually in case the automatic adjustment is not valid. The data receiving end corresponding to the mobile terminal device of the present invention needs to be able to obtain the encoded information output by the display unit, and the common data receiving device may be, for example, a desktop scanner or a handheld scanner.

After the data receiving end correctly receives the data and settles accounts, the consumer can pay for the purchased commodities by any mode such as cash, credit card, savings card, membership card, value card and the like, internet payment modes such as WeChat, Paypao, PayPal, Apple pay and the like, wireless payment modes such as NFC, Bluetooth and the like, biological identification payment modes such as fingerprint, palm print, facial identification and the like, or other credit payment modes. For a non-traditional payment mode, after the data receiving unit correctly receives data, the data receiving unit can be communicated with the mobile terminal through the server to guide a user to enter a payment interface on the mobile terminal; the mobile terminal can also automatically or manually jump to a payment interface after completing data transmission, so that the user can conveniently and fast pay by opening wireless and network payment modes. After the payment is finished, the settlement terminal connected with the data receiving end can also communicate with the mobile terminal through the server to finish the settlement task, and can also send the shopping list and/or the electronic invoice to the mobile terminal equipment. Therefore, the mobile terminal device of the present invention preferably has a shopping settlement function and is also capable of participating and assisting in payment of cash and after-sales service processes. In addition, the customer can not carry the commodities in the process of shopping through the supermarket, only the mobile terminal device is used for scanning the codes of the commodities or the shelf labels, the commodities or the shelf labels directly leave after settlement and payment, and the commodities are delivered to the appointed place of the customer through express delivery after being prepared by the supermarket.

When the mobile terminal equipment is used in the fields of inventory checking, logistics statistics and the like, the functions and the realized functions in shopping settlement application can be referred, namely scattered information is collected under different application scenes, the collected target information is the codes and the related information of articles or logistics goods under the corresponding scenes, then necessary information is integrated, recoded and output for receiving equipment to obtain, and the application of the mobile terminal equipment in the field of data transmission is realized. The processing, conversion, integration, and selection of the output mode of the code of the collected information are similar to the shopping settlement field, and the same limitation applies.

The invention also provides a data receiving device. The data receiving device may include a data receiver for reading the encoded image, for receiving the encoded image output by the display unit of the mobile terminal, such as a device with a built-in camera or other optical components. The data receiver may include a desktop scanner and/or a handheld scanner, and may employ various scanning devices such as a Charge Coupled Device (CCD) or a contact sensor device (CIS or lid), to scan the code to obtain the merchandise identification information and/or customer identification information contained therein. The code recognition method preferably includes infrared recognition, laser recognition, image recognition, and the like. The data receiver can be configured according to different reading codes, and for reading bar codes and two-dimensional codes, the requirement can be met by adopting common scanning equipment, and the receiver can be required to have a stronger color identification function when a three-dimensional code or a higher dimensional code system is read. The image recognition may include recognition of a still image or a moving image in a video format, a GIF format, or the like, and the information included in the code is acquired by receiving and recognizing the image expression information. Therefore, the data receiving equipment can use various types of readers such as an image type reader, an infrared ray or laser reader and the like according to the requirements of specific application scenes so as to receive various types of coded information such as two-dimensional codes, three-dimensional codes and the like.

At present, the mainstream code identification modes mainly include infrared identification, laser identification and image identification, and any other identification mode is optional in order to meet the requirement of data reception. For example, the data receiver may receive encoded information or other related information transmitted by the mobile terminal device via a wireless communication technology such as near field communication technology (NFC), Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), or bluetooth. After receiving the encoded information, the data receiving device needs to decode the encoded information to obtain the information content contained in the encoding, and when the encoding is encrypted, the data receiving device needs to decrypt the encoded information to ensure that the information is correctly obtained.

After correctly decoding to obtain required information, the data receiving equipment can process the data. When the present invention is applied to the field of shopping settlement, the information acquired by the data receiving device may be commodity identification information, and other information related to shopping settlement or information transmission, etc. By summarizing the information, the actual amount paid by the consumer during the shopping is obtained and informed to the consumer after the conditions that the consumer should enjoy the rights and interests, the price of the purchased commodity, various promotion benefits and the like are comprehensively considered. Specifically, the summarizing process may include a step of comparing the product identification information and/or other information included in the code with information stored in a memory and/or a server, so as to identify products corresponding to the product identification information in batch, obtain various pieces of relevant information of purchased products including prices and the like, and summarize the information to obtain unit prices and/or total prices of the purchased products.

The stored information may include merchandise information, customer information, other desired information, and the like. The stored commodity information includes code information such as a bar code, a two-dimensional code, and a three-dimensional code of the commodity, commodity number information, a commodity name or other commodity identification information, price, preference, sales promotion, point, circulation, or other settlement-related information, or a combination thereof. The stored commodity information can be synchronous with the information of the commodities in stock in the market and the supermarket, and the commodity information which is as perfect as possible is optimized, so that more possible ways are provided for commodity identification and settlement; or some specific information in the information related to the commodity, thereby reducing the storage pressure and improving the identification efficiency. The circulation information of the commodity may be information including the whole flow of the commodity from the production place, production, transportation, sale and recovery, or may be partial information thereof. The stored commodity information preferably at least comprises basic information such as the name, price, code, commodity number and the like of the commodity, and further can comprise auxiliary information such as pictures, images and the like of the commodity, so that the visual identification effect is improved during settlement.

The collecting processing can also comprise a step of comparing and identifying the customer besides identifying the commodity, the relevant information can be contained in other information, the other information preferably comprises customer identification information, the data receiving equipment acquires the customer identification information contained in the code, then compares the customer identification information with the customer information stored in the memory and/or the server, identifies the customer and acquires the interest information enjoyed by the customer in the shopping, and collects the interest information with various relevant information of the purchased commodity including the price to obtain the unit price and/or total price of the purchased commodity. The customer identification information may be at least one of customer identification information, communication information, member information, authentication information, credit information, mobile terminal device information, or other information for identifying and/or marking the customer, typically, such as the customer's name, sex, address, telephone, social network account number, member card number, bank card or credit card number, identification card or other certificate number, and the like, or may be identification information temporarily assigned to the customer.

The stored customer information includes one or more of the above customer identification information for comparing and identifying the customer identities, and may further include various information related to the customer identities, which exists in dependence on the customer identity information and is generally related to the accumulation or exercise of settlement cash or customer rights and interests, such as discount information, point information, card information, rebate information, credit records, discount information, group purchase information, lottery information, etc. that the customers can enjoy, or other information related to the customers, such as record information of customer consumption behaviors, etc., which can be used for counting the consumption habits of different user groups, so as to facilitate statistical analysis through data. The identification of the customer information is advantageous in that information such as the rights and interests enjoyed by the customer can be comprehensively processed at the time of commodity settlement, the discount is directly reflected on the price without the operation of presenting a membership card or selecting a coupon by the customer, the calculation process is automatically processed by the system, the result is directly fed back to the user, and the reason and the magnitude of the preference and the rights accumulation are preferably embodied in the fed back result, and the rights and interests which can be selected by the customer, such as full payment or purchase change, are provided. Of course, the product benefit event that does not distinguish the customer may be processed by assigning the information to the product information or assigning the information to the customer's equity information.

The stored data compared with the acquired various information can come from a memory of the local equipment to improve the data calling efficiency, and also come from data provided by the server to reduce the storage pressure of the local equipment. The data is preferably provided by the memory of the local device and the server provides background support for updating the data. The information and data stored in the memory and/or the server can be updated in stages, preferably in real time, so that the cash settlement accuracy and efficiency are improved.

When the data receiving device processes the information, the data receiving device should comprehensively consider various items of related information of the commodity, the information of the client rights and interests and other related information, obtain the unit price and/or the total price of the purchased commodity after summarizing the various items of information, and preferably feed back the unit price and the total price when feeding back the information to the user. Each item of related information of the commodity comprises at least one item of commodity name, type, model, quantity, weight, price, preference, image or other related information related to commodity settlement; the equity information includes at least one of discount information, point information, card information, rebate information, trade information, lottery information, or equity information enjoyed by other customers.

The data receiving equipment acquires the commodity identification information and/or other information contained in the code in a batch mode, wherein the batch mode represents centralized acquisition of batch information and is not limited to information content. In application, a batch of information generally corresponds to a shopping activity of a customer, the number of purchased goods of the customer can be at least one or more, so the batch acquired information can be one or more, the batch identified goods can be one or more, and when the received code is more than one, the batch acquisition and batch identification can also be one or more. When the device receives a plurality of codes in the same batch, the code reading integrity is preferably verified, and when the codes are not completely received, information can be fed back to a user or the reading can be automatically supplemented. The verification of the code reading integrity can be realized by the communication between the data receiving equipment and the mobile terminal equipment by taking the server as a medium, and the reading can also be supplemented by manual operation after the reading fails. In addition, in order to ensure the smooth reading of the codes, the data receiving device preferably cooperates with the mobile terminal device to perform pre-collection and comparison operations on the configuration information of the data receiver.

In addition, the result of the data processing, such as settlement, acquired by the data receiving device may be directly transmitted to the relevant device for subsequent processing, or may be stored in a memory and/or a server for calling when necessary. For example, after shopping settlement, the collected shopping information can be preprocessed through the data receiving device, such as advanced summary settlement, so that customers can know, inquire or change shopping conditions conveniently; the shopping information confirmed by the customer can be stored, the customer can settle and pay at a later time conveniently, the pre-settlement information can be directly called at the moment, and the shopping information does not need to be collected again, so that a more convenient and flexible settlement mode is provided.

In supermarket operation, theft and damage are common factors causing high operation cost, so that a supermarket usually carries out marking processing on valuable commodities and easily stolen commodities, for example, theft prevention and error taking are carried out by measures such as sticking anti-theft labels, and customers can take the commodities out of the supermarket after the commodities pass through a cashier desk one by one to carry out failure processing on the anti-theft labels, namely, demagnetization is generally known. By adopting the technical scheme of the invention, customers do not need to demagnetize each commodity through the cash desk one by one, thus greatly shortening the queuing and settlement time, but easily causing the theft loss rate of the supermarket to be increased, and meanwhile, under the anti-theft measures generally adopted by the current supermarket, the commodity adhered with the anti-theft label in the commodity purchased by the customer can not normally pass through the anti-loss door if the demagnetization is not carried out.

Therefore, in the present invention, it is preferable that the commodity verification step is performed after the customer has completed the payment for the commodity settlement, the commodity to be unmarked among the purchased commodities is selected by the device or system, and the unmarked commodity is unmarked, including but not limited to the demagnetization of the RFID tag and the soft/hard tag, the removal of the magnetic buckle, and the like, and the unmarked commodity can pass through the damage prevention door smoothly. The commodity purchased by the customer is compared with a marked commodity list stored in the system, and the commodity needing to be subjected to the unmarked operation is selected, wherein the marked commodity list comprises but is not limited to the commodity attached with the anti-theft label. The goods to be verified are displayed and informed to customers and/or cashiers through a display screen of a verification processing device or a settlement cash register, a shopping receipt, a display screen of a mobile terminal device and the like, and the goods are appropriately unmarked according to a goods verification process. When a traditional supermarket is used for cash collection, the settlement and cash collection device and the demagnetization device are usually integrated on the same operation platform, and due to the convenience, the data receiving device can also integrate the commodity verification function, namely, the commodity verification step is directly carried out after settlement and payment are finished, and the commodity is verified and processed in an auxiliary mode through the data receiving device. The commodity verification operation can be performed automatically or in response to manual operation. Certainly, the degaussing device can also be separated from the data receiving device, at this time, the data receiving device can assist in performing verification processing on the commodity in a mode of prompting the commodity to be degaussed, and a self-service commodity verification device can also be arranged in a special area. . The mobile terminal device may also participate in the verification process, for example, by receiving information fed back by the data receiving device, prompting the customer about the commodity to be verified or displaying the verification process, and the like, to assist in the verification process. The verification processing can also comprise weight verification processing for verifying the weight of the purchased commodity, weighing the purchased commodity while or before and after settlement and payment, comparing the result with the commodity weight information stored in the system, and when the difference between the two is within an error allowable range, verifying and passing, and when the difference is not in accordance, prompting or alarming, or taking the weight verification as a preposed program for demagnetization, and allowing demagnetization after passing. Demagnetization and weight checking treatment can be carried out simultaneously or alternative schemes can be adopted, the demagnetization and weight checking treatment and the alternative schemes can be mutually verified, and the commodity checking accuracy is improved.

When the invention is applied to other fields such as inventory checking, logistics statistics and the like, the above description of the data receiving device is also applicable, the type of the received information changes with the application scene, and the information can be compared, identified, counted and the like according to the requirements. For example, the user can dispersedly collect inventory item or logistics goods information and transmit the inventory item or logistics goods information to the data receiving device in batches for data processing. The data receiving device can store the acquired information in the memory and/or the server for processing of checking, updating or counting of inventory data and/or logistics information, and the acquired data can be directly or after being processed, and can be subsequently called by the device or other devices.

The invention also provides a server. The server is a common information interaction, storage and data processing device, and the specific form of the server depends on the function of the device in the present invention, and is not limited to a separate local server or a network server, and may be a part of some devices as a server to implement the functions thereof. The server in the invention can preferably function as an information exchange medium, a data storage or a data processing carrier, so as to serially connect the various processes of the applied scene. The server is used for storing a large amount of data and performing centralized operation processing, so that the operation and storage pressure of each terminal device is reduced, and the timely synchronization and updating of the data stored in the database of each terminal and the server are facilitated. The hardware carriers and devices, such as the memory of the server, the processor, etc., may be configured and combined accordingly, depending on the role played by the various program module elements, to enable the various steps of the method to be performed.

Each device connected with the server or providing the service is called a terminal device, and includes at least one of a mobile terminal, a data receiving device, and even a device related to a specific application scenario. The server may assume to some extent or in part the functions covered by the above-mentioned devices. The mobile terminal may comprise the transcoding-based data transmission device, the computer-readable storage medium, the mobile terminal device, and the like.

The server preferably provides functions of general information exchange, storage, and the like, and also performs data processing such as comparison, identification, screening, settlement, and the like of the commodity information and the customer information, or calculation, update, feedback, and the like of data such as changed or modified shopping information in direct or indirect response to a customer operation, and functions of the server mentioned in other parts of the specification. After receiving the shopping information of the customer, the data receiving device applied to the shopping settlement can perform local information processing according to the data provided by the server or transmit the data to the server for processing, and at the moment, the server performs comparison operation on the acquired information and the stored information to obtain information such as price required by the shopping settlement and transmits the information to related devices through the information transmitting unit. Certainly, the server can also undertake the function of timely updating information, such as timely updating stock change and customer information along with the collection of shopping information, counting passenger flow change, and synchronizing the latest information such as discount, promotion, internal control and the like to each terminal device; and updating the stock condition or the logistics dynamic state along with the collection of the stock or logistics information. And the user can be guided to enter the payment step by automatic or feedback manual operation according to the settlement flow. For example, the system may communicate with a web server and automatically jump to a web payment platform or other payment method entry when the customer confirms that the shopping list is ready for payment. Or after the customer finishes payment, the customer can continue to feed back related information such as points, electronic bills and the like, or the customer is guided to enter the step of commodity verification.

For the mobile terminal device, the server may communicate with the mobile terminal device directly or indirectly through other devices, transmit various related information, or serve as a medium for the mobile terminal device to interact with other devices. Such as data transmission and exchange of shopping information, customer information, offer information, verification information, settlement information, payment information, other information, and the like. The required information can be added into the information uploaded by the mobile terminal, and the information is transmitted back to the mobile terminal to participate in recoding after data processing. The added information can be sequence information, identification information, conversion information, link information, encryption information, or other coding conversion and/or transmission related information related to data transmission, article name, article price information, article model information, article quantity information, article weight information, article circulation information, or related information of an article corresponding to other target information, user identity information, communication information, member information, authentication information, credit information, rights and interests information, mobile terminal information, or other user related information, order information, payment information, verification information, consumption track information, or other consumption related information, and the like, based on the application field.

The server can feed more detailed information of the target object back to the mobile terminal after comparing and identifying the target object according to information such as target information provided by the mobile terminal, for example, after identifying a commodity through commodity identification information and/or other information, the more detailed commodity information stored in the server, such as information such as a commodity name, a price, a model number, a date, a production place, a weight, an image and the like, can be fed back to the mobile terminal to assist operations such as shopping settlement and the like. The server can also correlate the information with the customer information, each terminal device can directly call the shopping related information from the server when the customer settles, pays and verifies, the customer can directly know the purchased commodity information only through the feedback detailed information, but the shopping information can still be transmitted to the settlement terminal through a code generation mode. The above mode is also suitable for other purposes besides shopping settlement after being adjusted correspondingly, for example, after the server identifies the target object according to the received information, more detailed information of the corresponding article or service is fed back to the mobile terminal.

The server can also store the results of comparison, settlement, statistics, calling or other data processing performed by the information processing unit into the storage unit for each device to call when needed. For example, the mobile terminal can perform quick settlement by calling the pre-settlement information stored in the server during settlement, and can directly acquire the statistical result by calling the information stored in the server during logistics or inventory. The data processing comprises comparison, identification, summarization, settlement, verification, updating or statistics and the like of commodity information, customer information, inventory information or logistics information.

For each terminal device listed and not listed above, the server may also be used as a medium for information interaction between them, transmitting relevant information to one or more devices, and in the process, may or may not perform data processing and processing on them. Preferably, the server performs encryption processing when transmitting information, for example, when sensitive information such as settlement identification information, authentication information, or customer information is involved, as necessary, thereby securing data security. In addition, the information stored in the server is not limited to commodity information, customer information, inventory information, and logistics information, but may also include various kinds of required information, and other information related to the business activities may also be collected and stored, such as business overtime information, consumption activity track, inventory change dynamics, security level, internal control information, and the like. Meanwhile, when the information processing unit of the server processes the data, the data processing unit can also process other information related to the business activities.

The invention also provides a data transmission system based on code conversion. The transcoding-based data transmission method and the associated apparatus described in the specification can be incorporated into the respective program modules and carrier devices included in the system according to the invention, depending on the role they play. The mobile terminal equipment can simultaneously play roles of information collection, data processing, code conversion and information output due to higher integration level, and therefore, the mobile terminal equipment can be simultaneously attached to a data collection module, a data conversion module and a data output module and can be used as a carrier of the modules. Of course, each module may be based on a carrier with a higher integration level, or may include one or more different carriers to realize the functions thereof. For example, the data collection module, the data conversion module, and the data output module may all use a mobile phone as a carrier, or a camera of the mobile phone may belong to the data collection module, a processor of the mobile phone belongs to the data conversion module, and a screen of the mobile phone belongs to the data output module and/or the data collection module. The mobile terminal equipment can integrate and process numerous scattered information and then output the information through the collection and processing of various information, so that the concentrated and quick transfer of the scattered information is realized. And the information integration processing process is represented by conversion of different coding dimensions, quantities or information contents. The mobile terminal preferably comprises a display unit which can be a mobile phone or other portable intelligent devices, such as those described above, after the corresponding APP is installed, the camera can be used to scan the code, the display screen can display the generated code and serve as an operation interface for human-computer interaction, and the use of the consumer intelligent device as the mobile terminal meets the use habit of the user and does not need to additionally increase the hardware configuration cost.

The data collection module is mainly used for collecting various scattered information, such as commodity coding information and the like, and comprises an information input unit, and the preferable carrier comprises a graphic image acquisition device and an information input device which are independently used or belong to mobile terminal equipment, such as optical components, such as a camera, and related data processing components, an entity keyboard, a touch screen or a virtual keyboard, voice recognition components and the like provided by a projection device. These components may individually form a type of data collection device, but are preferably integrated into the mobile terminal device. The information input unit generally collects information by scanning a code of an article or recognizing information such as characters and symbols. When the method is applied to the field of shopping settlement, codes such as bar codes or two-dimensional codes of commodity packages are mainly scanned, or commodity identification information is collected by inputting or image-identifying commodity numbers, names or code contents through a keyboard. For inventory or logistics, the scanned code may be the goods code and the entered identifier may be the goods. The scanning can adopt modes of laser, infrared rays and the like, and can also obtain the coded information through image identification after the coded image is obtained by the camera. And the collected information is stored in a storage unit of the data collection module for later calling when data processing or data transmission is carried out. The stored information is preferably modifiable based on direct or indirect feedback from the data collection module, manual operations, or adjustments to synchronize and update the data by the system. The data may be stored in the manner described above, and may be stored item by item according to the acquisition order, or may be stored in batches or in categories. The stored information may include directly acquired information, or may include information configured for data processing or data transmission needs by the system, such as quantity information allocated to the identification information of the same type of goods.

And after the information collection is completed completely or partially, the data conversion module calls the information stored in the storage unit to recode. The stored information may be information directly obtained through data collection or may contain information of system configuration. When certain information is needed for later data processing or data transmission and the system has not configured or stored the information in the storage unit, the data conversion module can directly configure the information and incorporate the information into the regenerated code. The information may be those included in the other information described in the present invention, and may be adjusted according to different application fields, preferably, the information is needed by the system when data transmission and processing are performed later, or needed by other processes outside the system.

When the data conversion module integrates and processes information and re-encodes the information, the data conversion module can automatically or in response to manual operation control to generate an output mode of encoding according to needs, wherein the output mode comprises a code system, a quantity, information capacity, resolution, size and the like, and the principle and the control mode can refer to the description of an encoding generation part in the specification. Such control is preferably performed automatically by the system in the background, preferably imperceptible at the user interface even if server communication is required to assist, preferably allowing control by manual adjustment when automatic adjustment is ineffective, to reduce user effort and to be more convenient. More preferably, the system evaluates the configuration of the devices included in the data output module and the data receiving module in advance, so as to correspondingly determine the code system and the number of codes generated by the data conversion module, thereby facilitating the efficient transmission of data.

And after the data conversion is finished and the codes are regenerated, the data are output by the data output module. The data output module comprises a display unit which can be different based on different carriers, generally an electronic screen or a projection device, the display area and the resolution of the data output module can be different according to the hardware configuration condition, and equipment with higher performance is preferred, so that the problems that too much output codes are caused by too low configuration, and the data transmission efficiency and the recognition success rate are reduced are avoided. For the display unit of the data output module, a screen with a touch function is preferred, so that a customer can adjust and modify information in an intuitive manner, and the screen is affiliated to both the information input unit of the data collection module and the display unit of the data output module.

In some cases, the encoding of the output may contain only index or linking information. For example, when the collected information has been uploaded by the server or read by the data receiving device, the data output module may not need to output the same information again, but only need to output the index or link information of the information in the server or the memory, so as to call the information which has not been processed by data processing or the result data after data processing, and at this time, the performance requirement on the display unit carrier device may be reduced. The index or link information can directly or indirectly point to a data storage location, and may be identification information of a user, such as a member number, a mobile phone number, an equipment number, an authentication code, and the like, or may be specially generated one-time information, such as an identification code, and the like.

The data receiving module is an important link for realizing data transmission of the system, receives and decodes the high-dimensional code and/or the low-dimensional code output by the data output module, and acquires information contained in the high-dimensional code and/or the low-dimensional code, so that data transmission is realized. Therefore, the complete receiving of the data belonging to the basic function which the module should have can be realized. On this basis, since the purpose of implementing data transmission is often to process and apply data, the data receiving module may include, in addition to the basic function, other functions for performing data processing on the received data or related to the received data, in which case the data receiving module may include other units in addition to the data receiving unit.

The data receiving unit of the data receiving module can receive and identify the code output by the data output module, the included equipment can be a desk-top scanner or a handheld scanner meeting the required performance requirement, and the code identification mode can be infrared ray identification, laser identification, static or dynamic image identification, or other identification modes. The data receiver may be configured according to the different reading codes, referring to the previous description of the data receiving device. Because the scanner is usually only responsible for collecting and acquiring images, and decoding or identifying work is usually performed by equipment with data operation capability, the receiving and reading of codes can be represented as respective independent equipment at a terminal and communicated in a wired or wireless mode, and the representation form comprises a host and a data receiver of peripheral equipment, or an integrated operation platform embedded with scanning equipment and the like. When the code output by the data output module is encrypted, the data receiving unit also has a corresponding decryption function, and information can be correctly acquired after the code is decoded, so that the safety of data transmission is guaranteed. For the data receiving unit, the integrity of data reception is important, and for ensuring the complete and efficient reception of data, reference may be made to the previous description of data reception. Allowing the system to collect data receiving module configuration information for setting the encoding output mode in advance; for the condition of a plurality of codes, the data receiving module preferably verifies the receiving integrity of the codes, and in order to ensure the complete receiving of the data, the system can be allowed to add various types of related information in the output codes; when the receiving is not smooth or fails, the data receiving module preferably can perform information feedback or automatic supplementary reading on the data receiving module; in order to ensure a smooth transmission of data, manual assistance is permitted if necessary.

The data receiving module can also comprise a data processing unit and/or a storage unit, information obtained after decoding can comprise commodity identification information, customer identification information, logistics information, inventory information or other information and the like, and the data processing unit compares and identifies the information with the information stored in the storage unit or the server or performs operation processing on the data to obtain a required result. The result can be used in a plurality of fields such as shopping information inquiry, shopping settlement, logistics statistics, inventory checking and the like. For example, the data processing unit may perform centralized processing on the acquired information, identify the commodities corresponding to the commodity identification information in batches, acquire various items of information related to settlement, such as price of the purchased commodities, and customer interest information, and collect the settlement related information to obtain unit price and/or total price of the purchased commodities; or counting the inventory condition in batches and regions; or timely tracking and counting the logistics dynamic conditions of the goods. However, the stored information may not be limited to the product information, the customer information, the stock information, the distribution information, and the like, and the obtained result may not be limited to the information on the product settlement, the stock, the distribution, and the like related to the above-mentioned fields.
