Fig. 3 is an exemplary flow chart of a method of dynamic storage space control according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. In some embodiments, the flow 300 may be performed by the processing device 110 or a component thereof (e.g., the obtaining module 210, the determining module 220, etc.). As shown in fig. 3, the process 300 includes the following steps.
In step 310, size information of at least one object to be stored is obtained. In some embodiments, step 310 may be performed by acquisition module 210.
The article to be stored may refer to an article that needs to be stored. Such as books, clothing, electronic devices, courier packages, etc. The size information of the item to be stored may refer to information related to the size of the item to be stored. Such as the length, width, height, etc. of the items to be stored.
In some embodiments, the obtaining module 210 may obtain the size information of the at least one item to be stored based on the input of the user. For example, the obtaining module 210 may obtain the size information of at least one item to be stored based on the size information of the item to be stored input by the user through the user terminal.
In some embodiments, the obtaining module 210 may obtain the size information of the at least one item to be stored based on the logistics order information. For example, the obtaining module 210 may communicate with a management system of a logistics company through a network, obtain logistics order information, and obtain size information of at least one item to be stored based on the logistics order information. The logistics order information may refer to logistics information related to the items to be stored. Such as the size of the object to be stored, the time of transport, the weight, the type (e.g., clothing, fragile items, electronic products, etc.), etc. In some embodiments, the logistics order information may be input to the management system of the logistics company by a user (e.g., seller and buyer) or the logistics company and stored to the management system of the logistics company.
In some embodiments, the obtaining module 210 may obtain the size information of at least one item to be stored based on an image of the item to be stored. For example, the obtaining module 210 may obtain the size information of the article to be stored by obtaining an image of the article to be stored, and processing the image of the article to be stored by methods such as monocular distance measurement and image recognition.
And step 320, determining candidate storage spaces based on the size information of the at least one article to be stored and the related information of the total storage space. In some embodiments, step 320 may be performed by determination module 220.
The candidate storage space may refer to a selected storage space in which items to be stored are to be stored. For example, a storage compartment in an express delivery cabinet.
In some embodiments, a plurality of sub-storage spaces may be included in the total storage space. For example, when the total storage space is an express cabinet, the storage lattices in the express cabinet are sub-storage spaces. The related information of the total storage space can refer to the number of the sub-storage spaces, the occupation condition and the corresponding position of the sub-storage spaces, the size information of the sub-storage spaces, and the like.
The occupation condition of the sub storage space may refer to whether the sub storage space is occupied, wherein the articles stored in the occupied sub storage space may be referred to as stored articles. In some embodiments, the obtaining module 210 may obtain the occupancy of the sub-storage space through a sensor. For example, the obtaining module 210 may determine whether the sub storage space is occupied through a weight sensor, an infrared sensor, or the like. In some embodiments, the occupation of the storage space can be represented by words, numbers and the like. For example, if a certain storage compartment in the courier cabinet has already stored a courier package, the occupancy of that storage compartment may be indicated as "occupied".
The position corresponding to the sub storage space may refer to a position of the sub storage space in the total storage space. In some embodiments, the corresponding position of the sub storage space may be determined by the position number of the sub storage space in the total storage space, and the position number may be manually set in advance. For example, as shown in fig. 5, the total storage space 510 includes 4 sub-storage spaces, and the corresponding positions of the sub-storage spaces may be set as 510-1, 510-2, 510-3, and 510-4, respectively. In some embodiments, the obtaining module 210 may locate the position corresponding to the sub-storage space by querying the position number. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, the sub-storage space with position number 510-1 may be located in the total storage space 510.
The size information of the sub-storage space may refer to information related to the size of the sub-storage space. Such as the length, width, height, etc. of the sub-storage spaces. In some embodiments, since the size of the sub-storage space is adjustable, the size information of the sub-storage space may include a standard size (i.e., the size information of the sub-storage space that is not adjusted in size), and an adjusted size (i.e., the size information of the sub-storage space that is adjusted in size). In some embodiments, each sub-storage space may remain a standard size until unoccupied. In some embodiments, different sub-storage spaces in the total storage space may have different standard sizes. For example, as shown in fig. 5, the standard size of the sub storage space 510-3 in the total storage space 510 may be 20cm in length, 15cm in width, and 10cm in height, and the standard size of the sub storage space 510-4 may be 25cm in length, 15cm in width, and 10cm in height. For ease of illustration, subsequent unification is further illustrated with respect to the data herein.
In some embodiments, the standard size of the sub-storage space may be stored in the storage device (e.g., the storage device 130) in advance, when the sub-storage space is resized, the processing device (e.g., the processing device 110) may store the resized size of the sub-storage space and the position number thereof in the storage device, and the obtaining module 210 may directly query the standard size and/or the resized size of the corresponding sub-storage space from the storage device through the position number.
In some embodiments, the obtaining module 210 may further obtain the adjusted size of the sub-storage space through a sensor. For example, the obtaining module 210 may obtain the adjusted size of the sub-storage space through a laser sensor, an ultrasonic sensor, or the like.
In some embodiments, the determination module 220 may determine the candidate storage space based on the size information of the articles to be stored and the occupation condition and size information of the sub-storage space in the total storage space. For example, the determining module 220 may determine one or more sub storage spaces that are not occupied based on the size information of the to-be-stored item and the occupancy condition of the sub storage space, and on the basis, determine the sub storage space with a size relationship smaller than or equal to a first preset threshold value as the candidate storage space according to the size information of the to-be-stored item and the size information of the one or more sub storage spaces. The size relationship may refer to a difference relationship between the length, the width and the height of the candidate storage space a, for example, the size relationship may be that the height of the candidate storage space a is 5cm higher than the height of the object b to be stored. The first preset threshold may be a preset size relationship satisfying a certain threshold (e.g., 5cm), and the first preset threshold may be set based on experience. For example, the first preset threshold is 5cm, as shown in fig. 5a, the length, width, and height of the article 520-1 to be stored are 18cm, 13cm, and 8cm, respectively, and the size relationship between the article 520-1 to be stored and the sub storage space 510-3 in the length, width, and height is smaller than the first preset threshold, it may be determined that the sub storage space 510-3 is a candidate storage space for the article 520-1 to be stored. For ease of illustration, subsequent unifications are further illustrated with respect to the data illustrated herein.
Through setting up first predetermined threshold value, can avoid waiting to deposit article and the too big condition appearance of size difference in sub-storing space, effectively avoid appearing also can't depositing the condition appearance of waiting to deposit article after adjusting the size in sub-storing space.
It will be appreciated that there may be storage spaces that do not meet the above conditions, i.e. there are no candidate storage spaces. When there is no candidate storage space, the determination module 220 may invoke the second adjustment module 250 to perform step 350. When the candidate storage space exists, the determining module 220 may invoke the determining module 230 to perform step 330 and invoke the first adjusting module 240 to perform step 340.
In some embodiments, the determining module 230 may determine whether the candidate storage space needs to be resized based on the size relationship between the candidate storage space and the articles to be stored and a second preset threshold. Similar to the first preset threshold, the second preset threshold may be a preset threshold (e.g., 2cm) that the size relationship needs to satisfy, and the second preset threshold may be set based on experience, and is smaller than the first preset threshold.
In some embodiments, when the size of the candidate storage space is larger than the size of the article to be stored and the size relationship is smaller than the second preset threshold, the determining module 230 may determine that the candidate storage space does not need to be resized. For example, the second preset threshold is 2cm, as shown in fig. 5a, the sub storage space 510-3 is a candidate storage space for storing the article 520-1, and the size relationship between the sub storage space and the candidate storage space in terms of length, width and height is smaller than the second preset threshold, so that it can be determined that the candidate storage space 510-3 does not need to be resized. For ease of illustration, subsequent unification is further illustrated in accordance with the data illustrated herein (e.g., the second predetermined threshold is 2 cm).
In some embodiments, the determination module 230 may mark the candidate storage space as the first reserved space in response to the candidate storage space not needing to be resized. For example, taking the above as an example, when the sub storage space 510-3 is a candidate storage space for storing the article 520-1, the candidate storage space does not need to be resized, and at this time, the candidate storage space may be marked as the first reserved space.
The first holding space may refer to a storage space that does not require size adjustment.
In some embodiments, in response to the candidate storage space not needing to be resized, the determination module 230 may locate and mark the corresponding candidate storage space as the first reserved space based on the location number of the candidate storage space.
In some embodiments, when the size of the candidate storage space is larger than the size of the article to be stored, and the size relationship is larger than a second preset threshold, it may be determined that the candidate storage space needs to be resized. In some embodiments, when the candidate storage space needs to be resized, the determining module 230 may further determine a specific adjustment manner of the size of the candidate storage space (e.g., adjusting any one or a combination of the length, the width, and the height of the candidate storage space). For example, as shown in fig. 5b, when the sub storage space 510-3 is a candidate storage space for storing the object 520-2, and the length, width, and height of the object 520-2 are respectively 15cm, 13cm, and 8cm, the size relationship between the length and the height is greater than a second preset threshold, and the size relationship between the width and the height is less than the second preset threshold, the length of the candidate storage space may be adjusted.
In some embodiments, when the size of the candidate storage space is smaller than the size of the object to be stored, and the size relationship is smaller than or equal to the first preset threshold, the determining module 230 may determine that the candidate storage space needs to be resized. For example, as shown in fig. 5b, the sub storage space 510-3 is a candidate storage space for storing the object 520-3, when the length, width and height of the object 520-3 are respectively 25cm, 13cm and 8cm, the dimension relationship between the length and the width is equal to a first preset threshold, and the dimension relationship between the width and the height is smaller than the first preset threshold, the length of the candidate storage space can be adjusted.
And 340, when the size is required to be adjusted, automatically adjusting the corresponding storage space based on the size information of the articles to be stored. In some embodiments, step 340 may be performed by the first adjustment module 240.
The corresponding storage space can be a sub-storage space which is larger than the size of the articles to be stored and has a size relation smaller than a second preset threshold value.
In some embodiments, in response to the size adjustment, the first adjusting module 240 may automatically adjust the corresponding storage space by moving the movable partition based on the size information of the object to be stored. For more details on the automatic adjustment of the corresponding storage space, refer to fig. 4 and the related description thereof.
And 350, when the candidate storage space does not exist, adjusting the distribution strategy of the articles to be stored. In some embodiments, step 350 may be performed by the second adjustment module 250.
The distribution strategy may refer to a scheme of distributing the articles to be stored to the total storage space. In some embodiments, the delivery strategy may include a delivery time, a delivery manner, wherein the delivery time may be a time for storing the articles to be stored in the total storage space, and the delivery manner may include a manner for placing the articles in the total storage space, etc. for a user to pick up the articles, a manner for a user to go to a home, etc.
In some embodiments, the second adjustment module 250 may adjust the delivery time of the items to be stored when there is no candidate storage space. For example, when there is no candidate storage space, the second adjustment module 250 may adjust the distribution time of the items to be stored to three hours before distribution.
In some embodiments, when there is no candidate storage space, the second adjusting module 250 may adjust a distribution manner of the items to be stored. For example, when there is no candidate storage space, the second adjustment module 250 may adjust the distribution manner of the items to be stored to be delivered to the home.
In some embodiments, the second adjustment module 250 may also adjust the delivery strategy for the items to be deposited based on the recipient's notes. For example, the recipient notes "please give me delivery to me to home on day 13:00 of day 10/month 3", and the second adjustment module 250 may adjust the delivery policy for the items to be deposited to home on day 13:00 of day 10/month 3. In some embodiments, the second adjustment module 250 may obtain the remarks of the recipients based on the management system of the logistics or the management system of the shopping mall. For example, if the recipient uses a shun feng express, the second adjusting module 250 may obtain the remark of the recipient based on the shun feng express management system.
It will be appreciated that the recipient may remove an item stored in the total storage space after a period of time, while the sub-storage space storing the item may be occupied from "occupied" to "unoccupied", and then the sub-storage space may be used to store other items, wherein the time the recipient takes the item may be referred to as the pickup time. Based on the method, the delivery strategy of the articles to be stored can be adjusted by predicting the pickup time when the candidate storage space does not exist. For example, the delivery time for the item to be stored is adjusted to be after the predicted pickup time.
In some embodiments, the second adjustment module 250 may predict the pickup time of the deposited item via a pickup time model.
The pickup time prediction model may be used to predict the pickup time of a deposited item. In some embodiments, the fetch time prediction model may be a Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) model.
In some embodiments, the input of the pickup time prediction model may be the occupation of each sub-storage space in the total storage space, and the output may be the predicted pickup time of the stored object.
The parameters of the pickup time prediction model can be obtained through training. In some embodiments, the pickup time prediction model may be trained from a plurality of labeled training samples. For example, a plurality of labeled training samples may be input into the initial pickup time prediction model, a loss function may be constructed from the labels and the results of the initial pickup time prediction model, and parameters of the pickup time prediction model may be iteratively updated based on the loss function. And completing model training when the loss function of the initial pickup time prediction model meets a preset condition to obtain a trained pickup time prediction model. The preset condition may be that the loss function converges, the number of iterations reaches a threshold, and the like.
In some embodiments, the training sample may include the occupancy of each sub-storage space in the total storage space of the sample. The label may be a predicted pickup time for the sample deposited item. In some embodiments, training samples may be obtained based on historical access data (e.g., historical occupancy of sub-storage spaces and their corresponding historical pickup times), and labels may be obtained by manual labeling.
In some embodiments, the picking time prediction model may output a confidence level of the picking time while outputting the predicted picking time, where the confidence level may reflect a probability that the occupation of the sub-storage space changes from "occupied" to "unoccupied" within a preset time range (e.g., within 2h after the predicted picking time).
In some embodiments, the second adjusting module 250 may further adjust the delivery policy of the to-be-stored item to notify the recipient or adjust the delivery time according to the confidence of the pickup time, wherein the content of the notification may include, but is not limited to, delaying delivery, changing other delivery modes (e.g., delivery on door, etc.), or temporarily failing to deliver, etc. For example, when the confidence is less than or equal to the confidence threshold (the confidence threshold may be set based on experience, for example, 0.5), the second adjusting module 250 may adjust the distribution policy of the items to be stored to notify the recipient; when the confidence is greater than the confidence threshold, the second adjustment module 250 may adjust the delivery time to be within a preset time range after the predicted pickup time.
In some embodiments, the second adjustment module 250 may further determine that the target deposited item is located according to the scheduled delivery time, determine the reminder object, and issue a reward prompt to the reminder object to attract the reminder object to pick up the item ahead of time. The scheduled delivery time can be the time for storing the articles to be stored in the total storage space, the target stored article can be the stored article of which the predicted pickup time is close to the scheduled delivery time, the reminding object can be a receiver corresponding to the stored article of which the predicted pickup time is close to the scheduled delivery time, and the reward prompt can be a reward set for attracting the receiver to pick up the articles in advance. For example, the reward cue may be to offer a certain discount or coupon to the recipient, etc.
In some embodiments, the second adjusting module 250 may determine an already-stored item, which is predicted to have a pickup time before the scheduled delivery time and has a time difference smaller than a preset time threshold (e.g., 30mins), as the target already-stored item, and determine a recipient corresponding to the target already-stored item as the reminder object. For example, the planned delivery time is 14:00, the predicted pickup time of the deposited item a is 13:20, the predicted pickup time of the deposited item b is 13:40, and the second adjusting module 250 may determine the deposited item b as the target deposited item and determine the corresponding recipient c as the reminder target.
Some embodiments of this description can adjust out the storing space that suits based on the size information of waiting to deposit article, realize the storing space that the size can be adjusted, make total storing space can deposit the article of waiting to deposit of multiple different sizes in a flexible way. In addition, when no candidate storage space exists, the distribution strategy of the articles to be stored can be adjusted, the situation that the user waits for too long time to receive the articles is effectively avoided, and the use experience of the user is improved.

At step 420, at least one space to be adjusted is determined based on the second reserved space.
The space to be adjusted can be a storage space which can adjust the size of the second reserved space by adjusting the size of the space to be adjusted.
In some embodiments, the first adjusting module 240 may determine the sub storage spaces adjacent to the periphery of the second reserved space as the spaces to be adjusted. For example, as shown in fig. 5b, when the sub storage space with the position number of 510-3 is the second reserved space, the first adjusting module 240 may determine the sub storage spaces with the position numbers of 510-1, 510-2, and 510-4 as the spaces to be adjusted.
In some embodiments, when the space to be adjusted is in an occupied state, the second adjusting module 250 may issue an incentive prompt to the recipient corresponding to the sub-storage space to attract the recipient to take the item ahead of time, and then step 430 may be performed, in which the first adjusting module 240 adjusts the size of the space to be adjusted to determine the appropriate storage space. When the space to be adjusted is not occupied, step 430 may be performed directly.

For example, as shown in fig. 5b, the first adjusting module 240 can move a distance from the position "c-d-f-h" (i.e. the position of the plane formed by the vertices c, d, f, h) to the position "c '-d' -f '-h'" (i.e. the position of the plane formed by the vertices c ', d', f ', h') within 10 seconds by controlling the moving device of the movable partition 530, so as to adjust the space 510-4 to be adjusted. In some embodiments, the moving distance of the movable partition may be determined according to the size relationship between the article to be stored and the candidate storage space.
In some embodiments, the first adjusting module 240 may form a new storage space based on the adjusted at least one space to be adjusted and the second reserved space, and when the size of the new storage space is appropriate, the new storage space may be determined as the corresponding storage space. The size of the new storage space is proper, which means that the size of the new storage space is larger than that of the articles to be stored, and the size relationship between the new storage space and the articles to be stored is smaller than a first preset threshold value. For a description of the first preset threshold, see step 320.
