Alternatively, the controller 40 transmits the inventory position of the next resource to be inventory to the navigation part, and the navigation part generates a local inventory path reaching the next resource to be inventory from the current position based on the current position of the inventory device and the inventory position of the next resource to be inventory. The order of the resources to be checked may be determined by sequentially traversing in the horizontal and vertical directions according to the checking position of each resource to be checked, for example, the order may be from left to right, or from top to bottom. The inventory sequence of the resources to be inventoried can also be determined according to the priority of the resources to be inventoried.
For example, referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a top plan view of a data room provided in an embodiment of the present invention, where the coordinate point location of each cabinet is an inventory location of resources to be inventoried, and accordingly, the navigation component may form an inventory path according to the coordinate point location of the cabinet in fig. 3.

The driving part 30 performs each driving signal of the driving signal combination according to the execution order to control the inventory device to reach an inventory position of a next resource to be inventory. Optionally, a driving signal including a current driving direction is generated based on the counting position of the current resource and the counting position of the next resource to be counted, the driving signal is sent to the driving part 30, the driving part 30 continuously executes the driving signal, the navigation device obtains the positioning information of the counting device in real time during the moving process of the counting device, when the turning position is reached, the driving signal for turning is generated, and when the counting position of the next resource to be counted is reached, the driving signal for stopping the movement is generated.
The inventory device generates a control signal of the signal generator 20 in case of arriving at an inventory position of any resource to be inventory, so as to control the signal generator 20 to generate the trigger information. In some embodiments, the signal generator 20 may be a signal transmitter, such as a laser signal transmitter or an ultrasonic signal transmitter, or the like. In some embodiments, the signal generator 20 may also be a light source for emitting light to trigger the device tag. And when the equipment label configured on the resource to be checked receives the trigger information, feeding back label information to the checking equipment.
Due to the different heights of different resources, the setting heights of the device labels are inconsistent. In this embodiment, the equipment for checking further includes a lifting mechanism, where the lifting mechanism is configured to carry the signal generator 20, and is configured to drive the signal generator 20 to move up and down, so as to trigger the equipment tags with different heights. In some embodiments, the controller 40 may store the inventory location of each resource and the trigger location of the device tag, which may be altitude information, such as Z-axis coordinate values. The controller 40 determines a corresponding trigger position according to the current inventory position, generates a lifting control signal based on the trigger position, and sends the lifting control signal to the lifting mechanism to control the lifting mechanism to lift and drive the signal generator 20 to move to the trigger position of the device tag. For example, referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of the lifting mechanism of the inventory making device according to the embodiment of the present invention for lifting and lowering. The left diagram in fig. 4 is in an un-lifting state, and the right diagram in fig. 4 is in a lifting state of the lifting mechanism, so as to trigger equipment tags with different heights.
Wherein, because the device body 10 has a certain height, correspondingly, the signal generator 20 also has a certain height in a state that the lifting mechanism is not lifted, the controller 40 generates the lifting control signal based on the height difference between the current height of the signal generator 20 and the triggering position of the device tag.
In some embodiments, the same inventory location may correspond to multiple device tags, and different device tags may be set on resources located at different heights, for example, for a rack carrying a computer, the rack includes multiple racks, each rack may be provided with a computer, and correspondingly, the racks at different heights are respectively provided with device tags, or different computer devices are provided with device tags. The controller 40 obtains a plurality of trigger positions corresponding to any inventory position, sequentially controls the lifting mechanism to drive the signal generator 20 to move to the trigger positions of the equipment labels, and triggers each equipment label to obtain label information of each equipment label, wherein the controller 40 may control the lifting mechanism to enable the signal generator 20 to move to each trigger position from bottom to top, or control the lifting mechanism to enable the signal generator 20 to move to each trigger position from top to bottom, and no limitation is imposed on the above.
In some embodiments, a camera may be further disposed on the lifting mechanism, the camera has at least one degree of freedom, can rotate up and down, and is used to collect and identify the device tag corresponding to the current inventory position, send the distance of the identified device tag to the controller 40, and the controller 40 generates a lifting control signal based on the distance.
On the basis of the above embodiment, the signal generator 20 includes a light source for emitting light of a predetermined wavelength band (i.e., trigger information) for triggering the device tag. In some embodiments, the light source may be an infrared light source and, correspondingly, the trigger light of the device tag is an infrared light. In some embodiments, the resources at different locations and/or device tags located at different types of resources sample different bands of light to trigger, and accordingly, the light source may produce different bands of light. The data storage module may store light ray types corresponding to the respective inventory positions and the trigger positions, the controller 40 determines the corresponding light ray types according to the current inventory positions and the trigger positions, and generates a control signal of the signal generator 20 based on the light ray types, and the light source generates corresponding light rays in response to the received control signal, thereby implementing triggering of different device tags.
And after the equipment for checking finishes triggering the equipment label corresponding to each resource to be checked, acquiring the label information of each resource, and checking the resource based on the label information. In some embodiments, the data storage module stores resource mapping information, and the controller 40 performs resource inventory based on the obtained tag information and resource mapping information, or the controller 40 transmits the obtained tag information and resource mapping information to an electronic device (which may be a computer, a mobile phone, or a PC, for example) performing inventory, so that the electronic device performs resource inventory based on the obtained tag information and resource mapping information.

By generating the resource missing prompt information, the user is prompted to the missing resources conveniently for inquiry or supplement.
In some embodiments, the controller 40 is further configured to record position information of the apparatus body and height information of the lifting mechanism when receiving the tag information. Correspondingly, the resource mapping information includes a corresponding relationship between position information of the inventory device and a resource position, a corresponding relationship between height information of the lifting mechanism and a resource height, and a corresponding relationship between tag information and resource information.
Accordingly, the controller 40 performs resource inventory based on the tag information, the position information of the apparatus body, the height information of the elevating mechanism, and the resource mapping information. Specifically, a resource position, a resource height and resource information are respectively determined in resource mapping information based on the label information, the position information of the equipment body and the height information of the lifting mechanism, the obtained resource position, resource height and resource information are respectively matched with the resource position, resource height and resource information in the inherent resource information, when the resource position, resource height and resource information of any resource are successfully matched, the resource is determined not to be changed, when one or more of the resource position, resource height and resource information of any resource are failed to be matched, the resource is determined to be changed, and resource change prompt information is generated based on the resource position, resource height or resource information which is failed to be matched. By generating the resource change prompt information, the user is prompted about the specific position of the changed resource, and the changed resource is determined quickly.
