The use of the electronic price tags improves the working efficiency of stores, releases the hands of employees, and can save a great deal of manpower and time cost for merchants after long-term use.

In the existing electronic price tag system, a base station and a price tag establish a binding and attribution relationship in a network access stage, after the price tag is accessed to the network, the price tag only monitors information and instructions sent by an attribution base station, the price tag wakes up every several seconds to monitor the instructions of the attribution base station, and if the received instructions are irrelevant to the price tag, the price tag continuously sleeps for several seconds and goes on and off repeatedly. The length of dormancy in this process, awakening interval, is set up how long reasonable, is a difficult problem of choosing, on the one hand, the setting time is short, and the price tag power consumption can increase, and on the other hand, the setting time is long, and the price tag power consumption is little, but the paging efficiency is low. If the price tag wake-up interval is T, the average time length of the paging to the price tag wake-up interval is T/2, and it can be seen that the longer the T is, the longer the time required for the paging to the price tag wake-up interval is, which means the slower the price updating speed is.

Optionally, in this embodiment, for another example, after the price sign enters the network, the system monitors the instruction in the broadcast packet, and if the instruction in the broadcast packet is related to its own group price sign, for example, the price sign with virtual id number 1 monitors that the instruction in the broadcast packet is to push a graph to the price sign with virtual id number 3, then the price sign number 1 adjusts its wake-up period from T1 to a short period T2. In the process, it is considered that the base station is likely to push the price label of No. 1 after pushing the number 3.

Optionally, in this embodiment, when the base station receives a batch of the graph pushing tasks from the server, the graph pushing tasks are first stored in the database, the scheduling system fetches the graph pushing tasks from the database according to a scheduling algorithm for processing, and the scheduling algorithm is designed as follows: and (4) assuming that the price tag A of the last graph pushing process is completed and the price tag of the same group of price tags is B/C/D …, searching graph pushing tasks of B/C/D … in a database, sequencing according to the time of the tasks reaching the base station, and taking the task which arrives first as the task to be processed to start graph pushing.

Optionally, in this embodiment, the callout package of the map, that is, the broadcast package, performs callout using the virtual id of the price tag.

Optionally, in this embodiment, power consumption and efficiency are unified by introducing a price tag virtual id and a packet and matching a base station scheduling system and a price tag sleep policy, so that the purpose of saving power consumption can be achieved, and the graph pushing efficiency can be improved.

The method has the advantages that after the base station completes grouping of the electronic price tags which are accessed to the network, grouping information of the groups where the electronic price tags are located is sent to the electronic price tags, and the electronic price tags are controlled to conduct periodic sleep according to first sleep periods corresponding to the grouping information to which the electronic price tags belong, wherein the grouping information comprises virtual price tag numbers corresponding to the electronic price tags of the groups where the electronic price tags are located; detecting the virtual price sign number of the electronic price sign corresponding to the image pushing task completed at the last moment by the base station, and determining other virtual price sign numbers belonging to the same group with the virtual price sign number as a prepared number section; inquiring, by the base station, in each task to be pushed in a current push database, a push task belonging to the preliminary number segment as a preliminary task group; distributing a push sequence of each task in the preparation task group according to the receiving time of each task in the preparation task group, executing a map pushing action of the preparation task group according to the push sequence, generating a push broadcast corresponding to the map pushing action, and controlling the electronic price tag belonging to the preparation number segment to be switched from the first sleep period to a second sleep period, wherein the second sleep period is shorter than the first sleep period. The efficient electronic price tag scheduling scheme is realized, so that the scheduling strategy of the base station and the dormancy strategy of the price tag can be matched with each other, the balance between the power consumption and the efficiency of the price tag is achieved, and the product strength of the price tag is improved.

and S11, acquiring the number of the virtual price labels in the grouping information.

S12, determining the first sleep period positively correlated to the number of the virtual price labels.

Alternatively, in this embodiment, it is considered that the larger the number of virtual price label numbers, the longer the interval period in which any one price label is called, and therefore, the longer the first sleep period is correspondingly set.

Alternatively, in the present embodiment, it is considered that the smaller the number of virtual price tags, the shorter the interval period in which any one of the price tags is called is, and therefore, correspondingly, the shorter first sleep period is set.
