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 a Z-axis coordinate value, and the like. 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 equipment label. Referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a schematic view illustrating lifting of a lifting mechanism of an inventory device according to an embodiment of the present invention. The left view in fig. 4 is a non-lifted state, and the right view in fig. 4 is a lifted state of the lifting mechanism to trigger the device labels with different heights.
Since the device body 10 has a certain height, and accordingly, 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 current height of the signal generator 20 and the height difference between the trigger positions of the device tags.

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 device tags disposed at the resources at different locations and/or at different types of resources sample light of different wavelength bands for triggering, and accordingly, the light source may produce light of different wavelength bands. The data storage module may store the corresponding light types of each checking position and the triggering position, the controller 40 determines the corresponding light types according to the current checking position and the triggering position, generates the control signal of the signal generator 20 based on the light types, and the light source generates the corresponding light in response to the received control signal, so as to trigger different equipment labels.
After completing triggering of equipment labels corresponding to the resources to be checked, the checking equipment acquires label information of the resources and performs resource checking 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 the resource mapping information, or the controller 40 sends the obtained tag information and the resource mapping information to an electronic device (for example, a computer, a mobile phone, or a PC) performing inventory, so that the electronic device performs resource inventory based on the obtained tag information and the resource mapping information.
Alternatively, the resource mapping information may be a resource mapping list, including a mapping relationship between tag information and resource information. The resource mapping information can determine the resource information corresponding to each tag information, the obtained resource information is matched with the inherent resource information, when the matching is successful, the absence of the resource is determined, and when any inherent resource information is not successfully matched, the resource missing prompt information is generated. And by generating the resource missing prompt information, the user is conveniently prompted for missing resources so as to inquire or supplement.
In some embodiments, the controller 40 is further configured to record the position information of the device body and the height information of the lifting mechanism when receiving the tag information. Correspondingly, the resource mapping information comprises the corresponding relation between the position information of the checking device and the resource position, the corresponding relation between the height information of the lifting mechanism and the resource height, and the corresponding relation between the label information and the 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, the resource position, the resource height and the resource information are respectively determined in the resource mapping information based on the tag information, the position information of the equipment body and the height information of the lifting mechanism, the obtained resource position, the resource height and the resource information are respectively matched with the resource position, the resource height and the resource information in the inherent resource information, when the resource position, the resource height and the resource information of any resource are successfully matched, the resource is determined to be unchanged, when one or more of the resource position, the resource height and the resource information of any resource are failed to be matched, the resource is determined to be changed, and the resource change prompt information is generated based on the resource position, the resource height or the resource information which is failed to be matched. By generating the resource change prompt information, the user is conveniently prompted about the specific position of the changed resource, and the changed resource is conveniently and rapidly determined.
