Detailed Description

The application is described in further detail below with reference to the drawings and examples. It is to be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the application and are not limiting thereof. It should be further noted that, for convenience of description, only some, but not all of the structures related to the present application are shown in the drawings.

The embodiment of the application provides a technical scheme for displaying distribution points, which can be applied to scenes of distribution of articles by robots, such as restaurants, hotels, KTVs and the like. Taking restaurant application scenario as an example, the ordering flow can be roughly divided into the following steps: (1) ordering food. And the clients order food through the two-dimension codes and the like, and order information is generated. (2) preparing a food. Because different dishes, such as a pan bottom, meat dishes, vegetables dishes and the like, may exist in the same order, and different dishes may be manufactured in different areas, different dishes in the same order may be separately manufactured according to needs, and a printer of a manufacturing area corresponding to each type of dishes prints a ticket to be processed in the area, wherein the ticket comprises information of the dishes and information of the table number. (3) meal delivery. After the kitchen staff completes the preparation of the meal, the meal and the corresponding receipt are placed at the meal outlet. And the dish transfer staff judges whether the meal is distributed by the robot or by the dish transfer staff according to the table number information in the ticket, if the meal is distributed by the robot, the meal is placed to the robot and the corresponding table number is clicked on a man-machine interaction interface (such as a display screen) of the robot, and the robot finishes the distribution.

For example, fig. 1 is a schematic diagram showing the effect of a distribution point in the prior art, as shown in fig. 1, in the prior art, a man-machine interaction interface of a robot typically displays information (such as a table number) of all distribution points in sequence from small to large. However, in general, since the efficiency of robot dispensing is relatively high for a certain outlet at a position far from the outlet, the frequency of robot dispensing is also relatively high. The distance from the outlet is relatively short, so that the robot is relatively low in distribution efficiency, the manual distribution is faster instead of the processes of placing dishes, selecting table numbers and the like, and the frequency of distribution by the robot is relatively low. In the use process, on one hand, the human-computer interaction interface is used for displaying the information of all the delivery points, and on the other hand, the remote delivery points are usually larger in number, and the display screen resources are limited, so that a user (such as a dish transfer staff) needs to take a long time to find a target delivery point (such as a table number in a receipt) to finish the selection of the target delivery point, and the problems of low operation efficiency and poor user experience in the prior art are caused.

The main idea of the technical scheme of the application is as follows: based on the technical problems existing in the prior art, according to the distribution point position display scheme provided by the embodiment of the application, according to the characteristics of using the robot to carry out the distribution of the articles, the distribution point positions in the robot work area are ordered according to the distribution point position display principle adopted when the distribution point positions are displayed by setting distribution point position display principles related to the distribution distance, the use frequency of the robot and the like, and the distribution point positions are displayed on the man-machine interaction interface according to the ordering result. By such a distribution point display scheme, on the one hand, it is possible to instruct the user to perform operations, that is, to instruct the determination of whether or not to perform the distribution of the article by using the robot (for example, if the target distribution point to be selected by the user is displayed at a position forward of the screen, it is possible to determine that the distribution efficiency of the position by the robot is relatively high, and thus the distribution is performed by using the robot, and if the target distribution point to be selected by the user is displayed at a position rearward of the screen or is not displayed on the screen, it is possible to determine that the distribution efficiency of the position by the robot is relatively low, and thus the distribution is not performed by using the robot). On the other hand, the probability that the target delivery point suitable for being delivered by the robot is found at one time is relatively high, the target delivery point is conveniently found by a user, and the operation efficiency of selecting the target delivery point by the user is improved.

Example 1

Fig. 2 is a flow chart of a method for displaying a delivery point according to an embodiment of the present application, where the method of the embodiment of the present application may be performed by a device for displaying a delivery point according to an embodiment of the present application, and the device may be implemented by software and/or hardware and may be integrated in a robot. As shown in fig. 2, the distribution point display method of the present embodiment includes:

S101, sorting the distribution points in the robot work area based on the distribution point display principle.

In this step, in order to ensure that those delivery points with high delivery efficiency using the robot can be preferentially displayed, each delivery point in the robot work area is ordered according to a preset delivery point display principle.

The distribution points in the robot work area can be, for example, all dining tables in a restaurant where the robot is located or all rooms in a hotel where the robot is located according to different working scenes of the robot.

According to the distribution characteristics of the robot, the distribution efficiency of the robot is closely related to the distance between the distribution points and the outlet of the object to be taken and the frequency of the robot used for the distribution points, the distribution points which are far away from the outlet of the object to be taken and have high frequency of the robot are distributed, and the efficiency of the robot for distributing the objects is high. Thus, in this embodiment, the distribution point display criteria may include a remote priority display criteria and/or a high frequency priority display criteria. Accordingly, in this step, the distribution points in the robot work area may be ordered according to the remote priority display principle and/or the high frequency priority display principle.

In one possible embodiment, in this step, the delivery points within the robot work area are ordered based on a remote priority display principle.

Specifically, after the object outlet to be taken is determined, the distances between the distribution points in the robot work area and the object outlet to be taken are obtained, and the distribution points in the robot work area are ordered according to the sequence of the distances from far to near according to the distance values corresponding to the distribution points.

The object outlet to be taken refers to an object outlet where the object to be distributed is located, and when a plurality of object outlets are arranged in the robot work area, the object outlet to be taken can be any one object outlet. The to-be-fetched outlet can be determined according to the selection operation (such as the selected outlet or the selected article type) of the user on the man-machine interaction interface of the robot, or can be determined by the calling equipment in the to-be-fetched outlet through the calling information sent to the robot, or the current positioning information of the robot and the position information of each outlet, and the method is not limited herein.

It can be understood that in this embodiment, the robot stores a map of its working area, where the map includes position information of each delivery point and each outlet, such as longitude and latitude coordinates, and the distances between each outlet and each delivery point can be calculated in advance, and corresponding relations among the outlet, the delivery point and the distances can be generated and stored in the form of a data table.

For example, assuming that there are 2 outlets, respectively designated as outlet a and outlet B, and 20 distribution points, respectively designated as 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, … …, and 120, in the robot work area, by calculating distances between the outlet a and outlet B and the 20 distribution points, distance data of each distribution point corresponding to the outlet is obtained, and the calculated correspondence among the outlet, distribution point, and distance can be shown in table 1.

Accordingly, in this embodiment, when the to-be-extracted outlet is determined, data associated with the to-be-extracted outlet may be directly obtained from the data table, for example, when the to-be-extracted outlet is the outlet a, data of a column in which the outlet a in table 1 is located is obtained, and based on the column data, the distribution points are sorted, so as to obtain a sorting result.

TABLE 1

	Distance (m) from outlet A	Distance (m) from outlet B
			Distribution point 101	——	——
Distribution point 102	——	——
			Distribution point 103	——	——
Distribution point 104	——	——
			Distribution point 105	——	——
……	——	——
			Distribution point 120	——	——

In this embodiment, the farther the distance from the outlet is, the greater the distance value is, and the earlier the position is in the sorting result during sorting, and the more efficient the robot is to dispense the distance from the dispensing point is than the manual dispensing. Therefore, in this embodiment, the distribution points far from the outlet to be taken can be preferentially displayed by the principle of remote preferential display, that is, the distribution points with high distribution efficiency by using the robot can be preferentially displayed, so that the distribution points can be seen by the user at a glance, thereby playing a guiding role for the user and improving the selection operation efficiency of the user.

In another possible embodiment, in this step, the delivery points within the robot work area are ordered based on a high frequency priority display principle.

Specifically, the frequency of article distribution by using the robot is obtained for each distribution point in the robot work area, and the distribution points in the robot work area are ordered according to the frequency value corresponding to each distribution point and the order from high to low.

In this embodiment, a dedicated distribution data summarizing device may be configured for a robot distribution scene, where each robot for object distribution may communicate and interact with the distribution data summarizing device, and illustratively, a robot control program is developed in advance, so that each time the robot completes object distribution, a distribution completion message is sent to the distribution data summarizing device, and the distribution completion message may include distribution point information, object category information, distribution time-consuming information, and the like of the current object distribution, so that the distribution data summarizing device summarizes and counts corresponding data. In addition, the distribution data can be summarized and stored by the cloud server.

For example, when the delivery data summarizing device receives the delivery completion message, the number of times (i.e. frequency) of delivering the corresponding delivery point using the robot is accumulated according to the delivery point information in the delivery completion message, and finally, the corresponding relation between the delivery point and the frequency of using the robot (the frequency of delivering the article using the robot) is obtained. Illustratively, the correspondence between the delivery points and the robot use frequency may be as shown in table 2.

TABLE 2

	Robot frequency of use (secondary)
		Distribution point 101	——
Distribution point 102	——
		Distribution point 103	——
Distribution point 104	——
		Distribution point 105	——
……	——
		Distribution point 120	——

Accordingly, in the present embodiment, the robot use frequency data of each delivery point may be directly obtained from the delivery data summarizing device, and the delivery points may be ranked based on the obtained robot use frequency data, thereby obtaining a ranking result.

Optionally, in this embodiment, in order to improve usability and scene adaptability of the sorting result, the distribution data of the robot may be counted periodically in the distribution data summarizing device according to a preset period (for example, a period taking one month as a period), so as to obtain summarized data.

In the present embodiment, the more frequent the article is dispensed using the robot, the greater the frequency value thereof, and the earlier the position thereof in the sorting result is in the sorting. Therefore, in this embodiment, the high-frequency priority display principle is used to display the distribution points with higher use frequency of the robot, so as to achieve the purpose of displaying the distribution points with higher use frequency of the robot, so that the distribution points can be seen by the user at a glance, the user can conveniently know which points use the robot to have higher distribution efficiency, the probability that the point to be distributed which the user needs to select appears at the front position is higher, the guidance to the user is played, and the selection operation efficiency of the user is improved.

In a further possible embodiment, in this step, the distribution points in the robot work area are ordered based on the principle of remote priority display and the principle of high frequency priority display.

Specifically, after the object outlet to be taken is determined, the distance between each distribution point in the robot working area and the object outlet to be taken is firstly obtained, the distribution points in the robot working area are divided into areas and the initial sorting in the areas is finished according to the sequence of the distance from far to near and the preset dividing conditions, and then the distribution points in each area are respectively sorted and updated according to the sequence of the frequency from high to low by using the robot according to the frequency of the distribution points for object distribution.

In this embodiment, the concept of partitioning is introduced to facilitate the display of distribution points. The preset partition condition may specifically include a preset partition distance threshold. For example, after the distance between each distribution point in the robot work area and the object outlet to be taken is obtained, the distribution points are sequenced according to the order from big to small according to the distance value of each distribution point, and then the distribution points are segmented according to the relationship between the distance value of each distribution point and the preset partition distance threshold value under the condition that the order is kept unchanged, so that the partition of the distribution points in the robot work area and the primary sequencing in the area are completed. The distribution points can be classified and partitioned according to the relation between the distance value of each distribution point and the preset partition distance threshold value, and then the distribution points in the partition are sequenced according to the sequence from large to small according to the distance value of each distribution point in the partition, so that the partition and the initial sequencing of the distribution points in the robot work area are completed. Through setting up the subregion, the limited display resource of being convenient for practice thrift, make full use of display resource clearly shows the waiting to dispatch the position in every subregion to the user of being convenient for finds the target more fast and waits to dispatch the position. In the actual use process, the partition with the overall higher robot distribution efficiency can be displayed by default. For example, when the preset partition condition specifically includes a preset partition distance threshold, the man-machine interaction interface may display the point to be distributed of the remote area by default.

Although, the use requirements in most scenes can be satisfied by the initial sorting. However, due to some other factors in the actual scenario, such as the width of the aisle, the obstacle situation, etc., not all dispensing points far from the outlet to be fetched may be suitable for dispensing with a robot. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the frequency of the distribution points using the robot to distribute the articles is obtained on the basis of the initial sorting of the distribution points in each partition, and the sorting update is performed on the distribution points in each partition according to the order of the frequency from high to low, so as to obtain the sorting result which better accords with the use habit of the user on the basis of reflecting the distribution efficiency.

It will be appreciated that in this embodiment, the number of partitions may be determined according to the actual environment situation and the preset partition conditions, which is not limited herein.

Taking an example that the preset partition condition comprises a preset distance threshold, if the distribution points in the robot work area are fewer, only one preset partition distance threshold is needed to be set, and the distribution points in the working area of the robot are partitioned into a far zone and a near zone. Specifically, the distribution points with the distance to the object outlet larger than or equal to the preset partition distance threshold are divided into a far zone, and the distribution points with the distance to the object outlet smaller than the preset partition distance threshold are divided into a near zone. Fig. 3 is a schematic diagram illustrating a partition of a distribution point according to a first embodiment of the present application.

For another example, if there are more distribution points in the robot working area, n preset partition distance thresholds are required to be set, the distribution points in the working area of the robot are divided into n+1 partitions, the distribution points in the working area of the robot are respectively marked as a first preset partition distance threshold, a second preset partition distance threshold and a third preset partition distance threshold by setting 3 preset partition distance thresholds in a certain scene, the distribution points in the working area of the robot are respectively marked as a first partition, a second partition, a third partition and a fourth partition, specifically, the distribution points with a distance from the object outlet to be extracted being greater than or equal to the first preset partition distance threshold are marked as a first partition, the distribution points with a distance from the object outlet to be extracted being greater than or equal to the second preset partition distance threshold and being smaller than the first preset partition distance threshold are marked as a second partition, the distribution points with a distance from the object outlet to be extracted being greater than or equal to the third preset partition distance threshold and the third partition distance from the second partition distance from the third partition to the object outlet to be extracted into the third partition.

In this embodiment, the remote preferential display principle and the high-frequency preferential display principle are used to sort the delivery points in the robot work area, so that the delivery points far away from the outlet of the object to be fetched and with higher use frequency of the robot are more advanced, the purpose that the delivery points which are more efficiently delivered by the robot and frequently delivered by the robot can be preferentially displayed is achieved before the position of the sorting result is reached, and therefore the delivery points can be seen by a user at a glance, the guiding function to the user is achieved, and the selection operation efficiency of the user is improved.

Optionally, in this embodiment, for a scenario in which the machine is used for delivery for the first time, the delivering points in the robot work area may be sequenced by using the first embodiment to obtain a sequencing result, and for a scenario in which the robot is used for delivering an article for a period of time, the delivering points in the machine work area may be sequenced by using the second embodiment or the third embodiment to obtain a sequencing result, so that the obtained display result may better reflect the use habit of the user, and improve the use experience of the user.

S102, displaying distribution points according to the sorting result through a man-machine interaction interface.

In this step, according to the sorting result obtained in S101, the distribution points in the robot work area are displayed through the man-machine interaction interface of the robot, for example, the distribution points with the front sorting are preferentially displayed, and/or the distribution points which do not meet the set condition are hidden, so that the distribution points which are useful for the user are displayed in the limited display interface as much as possible, and the meaning of displaying the content to the guidance and convenient operation of the user is exerted.

The man-machine interaction interface refers to an operation interface on the robot for interaction with a user, and the man-machine interaction interface may include a display screen (touch display screen or common display screen), buttons, and the like.

The setting condition refers to a preset condition that the limit distribution point can be displayed on the display interface, for example, the setting condition may be: the distance from the object outlet to be fetched is not smaller than a set distance threshold value, and/or the use frequency of the robot is not smaller than a set frequency threshold value.

For a scene with more distribution points, the human-computer interaction interface is usually required to display all distribution points through multiple pages, and in this embodiment, distribution points with the front order are displayed preferentially, so that the distribution points with robots can be more efficiently distributed, and/or distribution points with the robots with more frequent distribution are displayed on the front page, so that a user can see the distribution points at a glance conveniently. And through hiding the delivery points which do not meet the set condition, if the distance from the object outlet to be taken is less than the set distance threshold value, and/or the use frequency of the robot is less than the set frequency threshold value, only the delivery points which are useful for the user in time are displayed by the man-machine interaction interface in the process of carrying out the delivery point selection operation by the user, so that the high-efficiency utilization of the display screen resource is realized.

By way of example, fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of a display effect of a distribution point provided by the first embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 4, by using the technical solution of the first embodiment of the present application, the display of the distribution point in the man-machine interaction interface may be optimized, the display sequence of the distribution point is irrelevant to the number of the distribution point, and the frequency of the distribution point for distributing the articles by using the robot and/or the distance between the distribution points and the outlets of the objects to be fetched are determined, so that the scene requirement of the robot for distributing the articles can be met, and the use dependency of the user on the products is enhanced.

Alternatively, the setting condition is that the number of times of use in N consecutive dispensing is not 0 (N is a positive integer of 2 or more, N may be set according to the actual situation). If the distribution points are continuously distributed for N times and are not used, the distribution points are automatically hidden in the human-computer interaction interface, so that the display result of the whole human-computer interaction interface is ensured to be more accordant with the habit of a user.

Preferably, N corresponds to the number of dispensing points. For example, if a restaurant has 20 tables, if a table is not used in nearly 20 robot dispatches, the table is automatically hidden into the unusual page. This is because in a restaurant application scenario, the utilization rate of some locations themselves is relatively low, for example, a location to the left, or a large table of 8 people or more, and some locations themselves are relatively high, such as a card holder. Therefore, when the distribution corresponding to the total table is not used for a certain table, the table is low in utilization rate, and the arrangement is more in line with the application scene of a restaurant, and is more scientific and reasonable.

Optionally, in this embodiment, a hidden delivery point display button may be set on the man-machine interaction interface, and those delivery points (i.e. the delivery points are not commonly used) whose page display is hidden after clicking. The delivery points in the unusual delivery points can be removed from the unusual points once they are clicked for use.

Optionally, in this embodiment, partition switch buttons between different partitions may be further set on the man-machine interaction interface, for example, labels of "far area" and "near area" are set on the man-machine interaction interface, when "far area" is clicked, a distribution point in the far area is displayed on the man-machine interaction interface, and when "near area" is clicked, a distribution point in the near area is displayed on the man-machine interaction interface.

Optionally, in this embodiment, the human-computer interaction interface displays the distribution points in regions according to different regions, the different regions may be switched by a region switching button, and the distribution points that do not meet the condition may be hidden in the different regions, and accordingly, a hidden distribution point display button may be set on the display page of the different regions, so as to display the hidden distribution points in the regions.

In this embodiment, the distribution points in the robot work area are ordered based on a distribution point display principle, where the distribution point display principle at least includes one of a remote priority display principle and a high-frequency priority display principle, and distribution point display is performed according to the ordering result through a man-machine interaction interface. The method and the device realize preferential display of the more frequent and/or more efficient delivery points for delivering the articles by using the robot in the robot work area, so that the delivery points can be seen by a user at a glance, thereby not only enabling the user to quickly determine whether the point to be delivered is suitable for delivering by using the robot, but also quickly selecting the point to be delivered when the user determines that the point to be delivered is suitable for delivering by using the robot, saving the time spent by the user for selecting operation and improving the selecting operation efficiency of the user.

Example two

Fig. 5 is a flow chart of a method for displaying a delivery point according to a second embodiment of the present application, where the method according to the present embodiment may be performed by a device for displaying a delivery point according to the second embodiment of the present application, and the device may be implemented by software and/or hardware and may be integrated in a robot. As shown in fig. 5, the distribution point display method of the present embodiment includes:

S201, responding to a calling instruction of the to-be-fetched object outlet, and acquiring a delivery point which corresponds to the to-be-fetched object outlet and is ordered and to be delivered.

In order to further save the time required by the user to select the operation and improve the efficiency of selecting the distribution points for the user, in this embodiment, before sorting the distribution points, the distribution points that have been ordered and are to be distributed are screened first, there is no need to display the points that have not been ordered and the points that have been ordered but are to be distributed, the number of distribution points that need to be displayed is reduced, it is convenient to clearly display the points by using limited display resources, and sorting the distribution points is performed, so that the optimization of displaying the distribution points is realized, and the user is convenient to quickly find the target point to be distributed.

In this step, when the robot receives the call instruction of the to-be-fetched outlet, the delivery point location which corresponds to the to-be-fetched outlet and is ordered and to be delivered may be obtained from the delivery data summarizing device or the cloud server, for example.

In this embodiment, the distribution data summarizing device may count distribution point information, item information (name, number, etc.) and distribution information (whether the robot has distributed, distribution number, distribution time, etc.) of the items in order information received by each outlet in the robot working environment during the process of distributing the items by the robot. Correspondingly, in the step, under the condition that the to-be-fetched object outlet is determined, the robot can send the data acquisition information of the ordered to-be-fetched object outlet and the to-be-dispatched point to the dispatching data summarizing equipment, so that the dispatching data summarizing equipment screens out corresponding data and feeds the data back to the robot.

S202, ordering the delivery points to be delivered and the delivery points to be delivered corresponding to the to-be-picked-out outlet based on the delivery point display principle.

In this step, similarly, at least one of a remote priority display principle and a high-frequency priority display principle may be adopted, where the ordered and to-be-delivered delivery points corresponding to the to-be-fetched outlet are ordered to obtain an ordering result, and the specific implementation of the ordering result is similar to that in S101 and will not be repeated here.

In this step, only the ordered delivery points corresponding to the outlet to be extracted and to be delivered are ordered, and all the delivery points are not ordered, so that the data processing speed can be improved.

Example III

Fig. 6 is a schematic flow chart of a method for displaying a distribution point according to a third embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 6, on the basis of the first embodiment and the second embodiment, the method for displaying a distribution point according to the present embodiment further includes:

S301, acquiring distribution time length data of each distribution point for distributing the articles by using the robot.

In this embodiment, in order to further improve the operation experience and the use satisfaction of the user, based on the robot distribution data collected by the distribution data collecting device or the cloud server, when the user performs the selection operation of the distribution point location on the man-machine interaction interface, a prompt message related to the distribution point location is displayed, so that the user can grasp the risk possibly existing in using the robot distribution or the problem generated in advance, and the purposes of predicting the risk and prompting the user to carefully select are achieved.

In this embodiment, the distribution data summarizing device may record the distribution time length of the distribution points when the robots perform the distribution of the articles, and may obtain the distribution time length data that can reflect the recent condition of the distribution points when the robots perform the distribution of the articles by periodically summarizing, for example, once every month or every week.

Correspondingly, in the step, the robot can send a delivery time length data acquisition request to the delivery data summarizing device according to the need to obtain the delivery time length data of each delivery point, or the delivery data summarizing device can actively send the delivery time length data of each delivery point to the robot when finishing summarizing and updating the delivery time length data.

The delivery duration data may include a delivery duration (e.g., 1 minute, 5 minutes, etc.), a number of delivery durations (e.g., several times 1 minute is used, several times 5 minutes is used by the user, etc.), a maximum value of the delivery duration, a minimum value of the delivery duration, an average value of the delivery duration, etc.

S302, when a user selects a target delivery point position on a man-machine interaction interface, responding to a selection instruction of the user, and selectively displaying prompt information according to delivery duration data of the target delivery point position.

In this step, after S301, when the user selects the target delivery point location through touching the display screen or the key on the man-machine interface, the robot selectively generates the prompt information by using a preset prompt information generation rule based on the delivery duration data of the target delivery point location in response to the selection instruction of the user, and displays the generated prompt information.

The target delivery point location refers to a delivery point location selected by a user, namely one or more destinations of the robot for delivering the articles.

In a possible implementation manner, according to the distribution time length data of the target distribution point, determining a maximum time length difference value of the target distribution point by using the robot, if the maximum time length difference value is greater than a preset time length difference value, displaying first prompt information on a human-computer interaction interface, wherein the first prompt information is used for prompting a user that the distribution time length of the current distribution point is unstable.

The maximum time length difference value refers to the maximum value obtained by performing a difference operation on each delivery time length, namely the difference value between the maximum delivery time length and the minimum delivery time length.

The preset time length difference value can be preset according to the distance between the target delivery point position and the object outlet to be taken, the conditions of obstacles and the like, and the associated preset time length difference value can be different for different target delivery point positions.

For convenience of distinction, in this embodiment, the prompt message displayed in the scene is called a first prompt message, and the content of the first prompt message may be set according to practical situations, for example, "the point location delivery duration is unstable, please confirm whether to use robot delivery", "the point location has a risk of unstable delivery duration, please carefully select", etc.

In this embodiment, the difference value of the delivery duration is used to reflect the fluctuation condition of the delivery duration, when the fluctuation of the delivery duration of the target delivery point is large, the first prompt information is adopted to prompt the user, so that the user can be helped to deliver by the delivery staff according to the actual situation, for example, when the delivery staff is idle, the risk of unstable delivery duration of the robot is avoided, the overall maximization of the delivery efficiency is realized, and the customer experience is improved.

In another possible implementation manner, according to the delivery duration data of the target delivery point, a target time period with the delivery duration greater than the delivery duration threshold is determined, if the current time belongs to the target time period, a second prompt message is displayed on the man-machine interaction interface, and the second prompt message is used for prompting the user that the current time has a delivery overtime risk.

For example, for the distribution scenario of office buildings and the like, since it takes a long time for the robot to take an elevator during the early, middle and evening hours, the time period for the distribution of the article may be longer than other time periods, and the required distribution time period may also be different for the distribution points located on different floors during the same time period.

In this embodiment, a distribution time threshold may be set for each distribution point according to experience, and a time period in which the distribution time of each distribution point is longer than the distribution time threshold may be screened according to the distribution time threshold of each distribution point and the obtained distribution time data, so as to obtain target time period data of each distribution point. Correspondingly, when the user selects the target delivery point, determining whether the current time belongs to the target time period according to the current time and the target time period data of the target delivery point, if so, determining that the current time uses the robot to deliver the article, and possibly having a overtime risk.

For convenience of distinction, in this embodiment, the prompt message displayed in the scene is called a second prompt message, and the content of the second prompt message may also be set according to actual conditions, for example, "the point location may be currently congested, please confirm whether to use robot delivery", "the point location has a timeout risk in the current period, please notify the client in advance", and so on.

In this embodiment, the user may be prompted in time by using the second prompt message to prompt the user that the time-out risk may exist in the delivery, so that the user may replace the delivery time or prompt the risk of the client (the article receiving party) in time, thereby reducing customer complaints and improving service quality.

In this embodiment, by acquiring the distribution duration data of the object distribution by using the robot at each distribution point, when the user selects the target distribution point at the man-machine interaction interface, the prompt information is displayed according to the distribution duration data of the target distribution point in response to the selection instruction of the user, so that more humanized service can be provided for the user, thereby being beneficial to improving the overall distribution efficiency and service quality of the robot working scene.
