Detailed Description

To make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present application more clear, embodiments of the present application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

With the development of electronic devices, people have increasingly high requirements on the ease of handling various events in life. People deposit various articles through the storing device at home, for example, people can deposit clothing through the wardrobe, deposit shoes through the shoe cabinet, deposit snacks through the snack cabinet, deposit books through the book case. When a large number of articles are stored in the storage device, it is difficult for a user to clearly remember the storage position of each article in the storage device, and the process of searching for a certain article in the storage device is complicated. The embodiment of the application provides an electronic device, an article searching method and an article searching system, which can enable a user to conveniently search articles in a storage device and reduce the complexity of searching articles in the storage device for the user.

The embodiment of the application takes the storage device as a wardrobe, and articles in the storage device are introduced as clothes. Optionally, the storage device may also be a shoe cabinet, a snack cabinet, a bookcase, or another device with a storage function, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application. In the embodiment of the application, the articles stored in the storage device can be provided with the electronic tags, each electronic tag can store tag information of the electronic tag, and the tag information of the electronic tag at least comprises the identification of the electronic tag. Optionally, the user may also enter other information into the electronic tag, where the tag information of the electronic tag may also include the other information, for example, the other information may include information of an article to which the electronic tag is set. The electronic tag may be a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag.

At least one receiver can be arranged in the storage device, and each receiver supports the receiving intensity of the label information of the electronic label in at least one area in the storage device. Alternatively, all areas supported by the at least one receptacle may cover all storage areas in the storage device. Specifically, each receiver corresponds to at least one region in the storage device, and the receiver can detect the receiving intensity of the tag information sent by the receiver to any electronic tag in each corresponding region. For example, the receiver described in this embodiment of the present application includes a reader/writer and at least one antenna connected to the reader/writer, each antenna is disposed in a region corresponding to the receiver, and a region in which each antenna is disposed in at least one region corresponding to the receiver is referred to as a region corresponding to the antenna below. Each antenna is used for at least receiving the label information sent by the electronic label in the corresponding area, and the reader-writer can determine the receiving strength of each antenna connected with the reader-writer to each label received. The closer the electronic tag is to the antenna, the greater the intensity of reception of the tag information transmitted by the electronic tag by the antenna. In the embodiment of the present application, the Received Strength may be represented by a Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI) value, and the RSSI value is a negative value.

The antenna may be wired to the reader/writer. The reader-writer can transmit radio-frequency signals through each antenna connected with the reader-writer according to certain reflected power, and the radio-frequency signals transmitted by each antenna can cover a certain range around the antenna, wherein the range is the information receiving range of the antenna. When the electronic tag is in the range, the radio frequency signal can be received, and tag information stored in the electronic tag can be sent to the antenna by virtue of energy obtained under excitation of the radio frequency signal. Optionally, each antenna connected to the reader/writer has a corresponding transmission power, and the information receiving range of the antenna, that is, the settable range of the electronic tag corresponding to the tag information that can be received by the antenna, can be adjusted by adjusting the transmission power of the antenna.

The information receiving range of the antenna at least comprises an area corresponding to the antenna. Optionally, each antenna may receive not only the tag information sent by the electronic tag in the area corresponding to the antenna, but also the tag information sent by the electronic tag in the area corresponding to another antenna. In the embodiment of the present application, the information receiving ranges of the antennas may overlap, but the areas corresponding to the antennas may not overlap. For example, the storage device has a plurality of storage regions, which can be separated by partitions. The information receiving range of each antenna in the storage device can cover at least two storage areas of the storage device, such as all the storage areas; each antenna is arranged in one storage area, and each antenna may correspond to only one storage area. Optionally, a metal material layer, such as a tinfoil paper, may be attached to the partition of the storage device to shield the tag information of the electronic tags in different storage areas. At this time, the antenna in each storage area can only receive the tag information sent by the electronic tag in the storage area, and the information receiving range of each antenna is the same as that of the area corresponding to the antenna.

The electronic device in the embodiment of the present application may be a terminal, such as a smart phone, a tablet computer, a notebook computer, and other terminals having a wireless transceiving function.

As shown in fig. 1, the system 10 may include an electronic device 101 and a storage device 102, and the electronic device 101 and the storage device 102 may refer to the specific description of the electronic device and the storage device. The electronic device 101 is communicatively connected to a receiver of the storage device 102, such as a reader/writer of the storage device. The electronic device can be connected with a reader-writer in the storage device through a wired network or a wireless network, wherein the wired network can include but is not limited to: universal Serial Bus (USB), wireless networks may include, but are not limited to: wireless Fidelity (WIFI), bluetooth, infrared, zigbee (Zigbee), data, and the like.

Fig. 2 is a flowchart of an item searching method according to an embodiment of the present application, where the method may be used in the electronic device 101 in the item searching system shown in fig. 1. The method can comprise the following steps:

step 201, when a search instruction for an article where a target electronic tag is located is received, the receiving intensity of target tag information detected by at least one receiver in a storage device in each supported area is obtained, and the target tag information is tag information of the target electronic tag.

Step 202, determining a storage area of the object where the target electronic tag is located based on the maximum receiving intensity of the target tag information, wherein the maximum receiving intensity is the maximum value of the receiving intensities of the target tag information detected by the at least one receiver in each supported area.

And step 203, displaying information of the storage area of the object where the target electronic tag is located.

To sum up, the electronic device provided in the embodiment of the present application can determine the position of the article where the target electronic tag is located, through the receiving intensity of the target tag information detected by the receiver in the supported area. Furthermore, a user can know the storage area of the article in the storage device only by triggering the article searching instruction to the electronic equipment, the article does not need to be found in the storage device by himself, and the article searching process is simplified.

Fig. 3 is a flowchart of another item searching method provided in an embodiment of the present application, which may be used in the electronic device 101 in the item searching system shown in fig. 1. The method can comprise the following steps:

step 301, obtaining information of an article stored in the storage device and information of an electronic tag arranged on the article. Step 302 is performed.

When a user deposits articles in the storage device, the electronic equipment can be controlled to acquire the information of the articles. Illustratively, the electronic device has a camera. The user can trigger the electronic equipment to start the photographing function so as to control the camera of the electronic equipment to photograph the object to be stored in the storage device, and store the image of the object as the acquired information of the object. As yet another example, the electronic device has a touch display screen. A user can manually input information of articles on a display screen touched by the electronic equipment, such as information of shapes, colors, types, materials, brands and the like of clothes; further, the control device may store information of the article input by the user. Optionally, the user may also input an identifier of an article to be stored in the storage device into the electronic device, and the electronic device may query the internet for information about the article based on the identifier. Illustratively, the article carries a barcode or a two-dimensional code for identifying the article, and the user can control the electronic device to scan the barcode of the article and then read information of the article based on the barcode.

When a user stores an article in the storage device, the user can also take one electronic tag to place on the article. Before the article with the electronic tag is placed in the storage device, the user can input the identifier of the electronic tag on the electronic equipment. For example, the user may control the electronic device to capture an image of the electronic tag, or the user may also input an identifier of the electronic tag in the electronic device, so that the electronic device obtains information of the electronic tag. Alternatively, the electronic tag may be in the shape of a clip, and a user may clip the electronic tag on an article to be placed in the storage device. The electronic tag can also be in other shapes, for example, a pin is arranged on the electronic tag, and the electronic tag can be attached to clothes.

Alternatively, the electronic device may have a corresponding cassette for placing the electronic label, and the electronic label in the cassette may be recorded in the electronic device. Before the user puts the article into the storage device, the user can take the electronic tag in the tag box and place the electronic tag on the article. The electronic equipment can detect the electronic tags currently existing in the label box in real time, and when certain electronic tag is determined not to be in the label box, the electronic tag is determined to be taken out. The electronic device can determine the electronic tag placed on the clothes based on the time when the electronic tag is taken out of the tag box and the information acquisition time of the clothes, without manually inputting the information of the electronic tag into the electronic device by a user. For example, the electronic device may determine that the electronic tag is placed on a piece of clothing when a difference between a time of taking out the electronic tag and a time of entering information of the piece of clothing is less than a duration threshold.

After the electronic equipment acquires the information of the article to be placed in the storage device and the information of the electronic tag placed on the article, the information of the article and the information of the electronic tag can be bound and stored. Furthermore, the user can know the information of the corresponding electronic tag based on the information of the article through the electronic device, and can also know the information of the article where the user is located based on the information of the electronic tag. Optionally, when the electronic device automatically determines the electronic tag placed on the article, the electronic device may further display information of the determined electronic tag for confirmation by the user. After the user confirms, the electronic equipment binds and stores the information of the electronic tag and the information of the article to be placed in the storage device, so that the judgment error of the electronic equipment is avoided.

In the embodiment of the present application, the electronic tag stores tag information, and the tag information may at least include an identifier of the electronic tag, such as a tag number of the electronic tag. Optionally, information of an article on which the electronic tag is placed may also be entered into the electronic tag, so that the electronic tag further stores information of the article, and at this time, the tag information of the electronic tag may also include information of the article.

Optionally, the electronic device may record an identifier of the electronic tag to be selected, and the electronic device may initialize the reception intensity of the recorded tag information of the electronic tag when the electronic tag is not used. If the receiving intensity corresponding to the label information of the electronic label which is not used is recorded as the initial intensity, the initial intensity indicates that the electronic label is not positioned in the storage device. The initial intensity may be smaller than the intensity threshold, for example, the intensity threshold is-50, the initial intensity may be-72, or the intensity threshold and the initial intensity may be other values, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

Step 302, sending a data storage rule to a receiver in the storage device, wherein the data storage rule comprises the information storage quantity n of the receiver for each supported region. Step 303 is performed.

The electronic device can establish a communication connection with each receiver in the storage device, and further can configure the operating parameters of the receiver so as to control the receiver to operate based on the operating parameters. The embodiment of the application takes the case that three receivers are arranged in the storage device, and each receiver in the three receivers comprises one reader-writer and four antennas. Since the storage space of the reader/writer is limited, a plurality of reader/writers can be provided in the storage device. Optionally, a receiver may also be disposed in the storage device, where the receiver includes one reader/writer and 12 antennas, and the number of the reader/writer and the number of the antennas in the storage device may also be other numbers, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

For example, the electronic device may be specifically in communication connection with the reader/writer in each receiver. And then the electronic equipment configures the working parameters of the reader-writer so as to control the reader-writer to start working. For example, the electronic device may configure the reader/writer with the transmission power of each antenna connected thereto, and may also configure the reader/writer with a data storage rule for each antenna. The database storage rule may include the number of information stores n for each antenna, i.e., the number of information stores for each region that the receiver supports. For example, the information storage quantity n may be 8, 10, 20, or another value, and the embodiment of the present application is not limited. The value of n may be adjusted based on the amount of storage in the storage device, e.g., n may be equal to or less than the number of items stored in the storage device. The following embodiments of the present application are introduced by taking the case where the transmission power of each antenna and the corresponding data storage rule are the same; optionally, the transmission power of each antenna may also be different, and the data storage rule corresponding to each antenna may also be different.

Optionally, an article management application may be installed in the electronic device, and the electronic device may start the article management application, so as to interact with the reader based on the article management application, manage information of the articles in the storage device, and facilitate a user to search for the articles stored in the storage device. For example, the electronic device is connected with the reader-writer in the storage device after the article management application is started.

And step 303, controlling the receiver to store the tag information of the n newly received electronic tags and the receiving strength of each tag information for each area supported by the receiver. Step 304 is performed.

After receiving the information storage number n corresponding to each region supported by the receiver, the receiver may store the tag information received in each region based on the information storage number n corresponding to the region. That is, the reader/writer in the receiver stores the n pieces of tag information newly received by the antenna based on the storage number n corresponding to each antenna to which the reader/writer is connected.

For example, the reader/writer may store n pieces of tag information newly received by each antenna connected thereto in the form of a queue, where the length of the queue is n. The data in the queue follows the first-in first-out rule, and when the antenna receives one piece of tag information, the reader-writer can store the tag information into the tail of the queue corresponding to the antenna and delete one piece of tag information originally stored at the head of the queue. For example, n =8, when an antenna sequentially receives tag information transmitted by tags 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 2, the reader/writer may store the tag information of the tags 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 when receiving the tag information transmitted by the tag 8; then, upon receiving the tag information transmitted by the tag 8, only the tag information of the tags 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 2 may be stored. Optionally, for each tag information in the queue, the reader may record a tag number of the electronic tag corresponding to the tag information, an identifier of an antenna that receives the tag information, and a receiving strength of the antenna to the tag information.

It should be noted that, each antenna of the reader-writer can receive the tag information sent by all the electronic tags in the signal receiving range in real time, and there are many electronic tags in the storage device, and the frequency of sending the tag information by the electronic tags is high, so that the number of the tag information received by each antenna of the reader-writer is huge. Since the articles in the storage device are static for most of the time, most of the tag information received by the antenna connected with the reader-writer is the same, and the receiving strength of the tag information of the same electronic tag by the antenna is also the same, so that more redundant information exists in the tag information acquired by the reader-writer. In the embodiment of the application, the electronic device configures a data storage rule for each antenna for the reader-writer, so that the reader-writer stores tag information sent by n electronic tags which are newly received by the antenna for each antenna, so as to perform data filtering, and avoid storage of a large amount of redundant data.

And step 304, receiving a search instruction aiming at the article where the target electronic tag is located. Step 305 is performed.

Optionally, after the electronic device starts the article management application, the user may trigger the electronic device through the article management application to display information of all articles stored in the storage device and recorded on the electronic device. Exemplarily, the storage device is a wardrobe, and the articles stored in the storage device are clothes. Fig. 4 is a schematic view of a display interface of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 4, pictures of a plurality of pieces of clothes may be displayed on the display interface of the electronic device. The user may click on one of the displayed pieces of clothing to trigger the electronic device to receive a selection instruction for the piece of clothing. The electronic device needs to display detailed information of the clothes based on the selection instruction, where the detailed information includes a storage location of the clothes in the storage device, and the selection instruction is a search instruction for the clothes. The target electronic tag in the embodiment of the present application refers to an electronic tag placed on a selected clothing.

In this embodiment of the application, the search instruction may carry an identifier of the target electronic tag. Because the electronic equipment stores the information of each article stored in the storage device and the information of the electronic tag placed on the article, when a certain article displayed by the electronic equipment is selected, the electronic equipment can directly know the identifier of the target electronic tag corresponding to the selected article.

Alternatively, the electronic device may display information of each article stored in the storage device in the form of characters. Optionally, the electronic device may also directly display information of an electronic tag placed on an article stored in the storage device, for example, display an identifier of the electronic tag, and then the user may select the electronic tag to trigger the electronic device to receive a search instruction for the article where the target electronic tag is located.

And step 305, based on the search instruction, periodically acquiring the relevant information of the electronic tags stored by the receiver for each supported area by taking the first duration as an acquisition period. Step 306 is performed.

The electronic device can acquire the relevant information of the electronic tags stored by the electronic device for each supported area from the receiver once every first time length based on the search instruction. The related information of the electronic tag comprises: the tag information of the electronic tag, and the receiving strength of the tag information. The receiver stores the related information of the electronic tag for each supported area, that is, the related information of the electronic tag stored for each antenna in the reader/writer. Illustratively, the first time length is longer than the transmission interval time length of the tag information of the electronic tag, and the first time length may be 0.5 second. Optionally, the first time period may also be 0.2 seconds, 0.6 seconds, or other time periods, which is not limited in this embodiment of the application.

It should be noted that, each time the electronic device acquires the information related to the electronic tag stored in each area supported by the receiver, the electronic device may determine the storage location of the article where the target electronic tag is located based on the acquired information, so that the number of times the electronic device acquires the information from the receiver is the same as the number of times the electronic device processes the data. In the embodiment of the application, the electronic device periodically acquires the relevant information of the electronic tag stored by the receiver for each supported area by using the first duration as the acquisition period, so that the number of times of acquiring the information can be reduced, which is equivalent to performing secondary filtering on data used for determining the storage position of the target electronic tag, and the data processing amount of the electronic device is reduced.

And step 306, determining the receiving intensity of the target label information detected by each receiver in the storage device in each region supported by the receiver from the acquired related information of the electronic label, wherein the target label information is the label information of the target electronic label. Step 307 is performed.

After the electronic equipment acquires the related information of the electronic tags stored in the receivers of the storage device every time, the related information of the target electronic tags can be screened out from the acquired related information of the electronic tags. Then, the electronic device may determine, in the screened related information of each target electronic tag, the receiving strength of the target tag information detected by each receiver in each area supported by the receiver, that is, the receiving strength of each antenna receiving the target tag information to the target tag information.

For example, assuming that the target electronic tag is tag 3, a reader-writer and three antennas connected to the reader-writer, namely antennas a, b and c, are arranged in the storage device, and the information storage quantity corresponding to each antenna is 3. The electronic equipment acquires that the three pieces of tag information newly received by the antenna a are tag information sent by the tags 2, 3 and 5, respectively, the three pieces of tag information newly received by the antenna b are tag information sent by the tags 6, 4 and 2, respectively, and the three pieces of tag information newly received by the antenna c are tag information sent by the tags 6, 3 and 2, respectively, from the reader at a certain time. In this way, the electronic device may determine that the antennas a and c receive the target tag information (that is, the tag information of the electronic tag 3) based on the information about the electronic tag acquired from the reader/writer, and then the electronic device may acquire the receiving strength of the antennas a and c to the target tag information.

Optionally, if the related information of the electronic tag acquired by the electronic device for a certain antenna includes related information of a plurality of target electronic tags, that is, a plurality of pieces of tag information in the n pieces of tag information that are acquired by the antenna most recently are all sent by the target electronic tag, the electronic device may screen the receiving strength of the antenna on the target tag information that is received most recently only from the acquired related information of the electronic tag. For example, in the above example, if the three pieces of tag information that are received by the antenna c most recently are the tag information transmitted by the tags 6, 2, and 2, respectively, the electronic device may obtain the receiving strength of the antenna a for the target tag information and the receiving strength of the antenna c for receiving the target tag information most recently.

And 307, recording the receiving strength of the target label information detected in each supported area by each receiver. Step 308 is performed.

The electronic device may record the reception strength of the target tag information detected by each receiver in each supported area based on the determined reception strength of the target tag information detected by each receiver in each supported area, that is, the reception strength of each antenna on the target tag information. For example, the receiving strength of the target tag information detected in each area can be recorded in the form of an information pool. It should be noted that, for an area where target tag information is not detected, the electronic device may use the initial strength as the reception strength of the target tag information in the area. Illustratively, the initial intensity may be-72.

Fig. 5 is a representation diagram of an information pool provided in an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 5, three readers-writers, namely a reader-writer, b reader-writer and c reader-writer, are arranged in the storage device, the three reader-writers are all connected with four antennas, and the four antennas connected with each reader-writer are marked by antennas 1, 2, 3 and 4. The antenna 1 connected with the reader-writer a does not receive the target label information, the antenna 2 connected with the reader-writer a receives the target label information and has the receiving intensity of-67, the antenna 3 connected with the reader-writer a receives the target label information and has the receiving intensity of-57, and the antenna 4 connected with the reader-writer a receives the target label information and has the receiving intensity of-47; antennas 3 and 4 connected with the reader-writer b do not receive the target label information, an antenna 1 connected with the reader-writer b receives the target label information and has receiving intensity of-57, and an antenna 2 connected with the reader-writer b receives the target label information and has receiving intensity of-67; the antennas 2, 3 and 4 connected to the reader/writer c do not receive the target tag information, and the antenna 1 connected to the reader/writer c receives the target tag information with the reception intensity of-67. The receiving strength of the antenna which does not receive the target tag information to the target tag information is represented by initial strength-72.

Step 308, updating the recorded reception intensity. Step 309 is performed.

The electronic device may update the recorded reception intensity of the target tag information detected in each area based on the reception intensity of the target tag information determined in step 306 by the antenna that received the target tag information. When the target tag information is received in any area supported by the receiver within the second time period, the electronic device may change the recorded receiving intensity of the target tag information in any area to the newly acquired receiving intensity of the target tag information in any area. When the target tag information is not received in any area supported by the receiver within the second time period, the electronic equipment can change the recorded receiving intensity of the target electronic tag in any area into the initial intensity; and in the second time period, the electronic equipment does not change the recorded receiving intensity of the target electronic tag in any area. Optionally, the second time period is longer than the first time period, for example, the second time period is 2 seconds.

For example, for the information pool shown in fig. 5, it is assumed that after the electronic device next obtains the relevant information of the electronic tag stored in the reader/writer for each antenna, it is determined that the receiving strength of the antenna 2 connected to the reader/writer b for the target tag information is-57, and the relevant information of the electronic tag does not include the receiving strength of the antenna 4 connected to the reader/writer a for the target tag information. The electronic device changes the reception intensity corresponding to the antenna 2 connected to the reader/writer b in the information pool to-57, and does not change the reception intensity corresponding to the antenna 4 connected to the reader/writer a. If the electronic device does not obtain the reception intensity of the antenna 4 connected to the reader-writer a for the target tag information within 2 seconds after recording the information pool shown in fig. 5, the electronic device may change the reception intensity corresponding to the antenna 4 connected to the reader-writer a to-72, so as to obtain the schematic diagram of the information pool shown in fig. 6.

In the embodiment of the present application, the electronic device changes the reception intensity of the target tag information detected in each recorded area based on the reception intensity of the target tag information by the antenna that detected the target tag information. Optionally, after acquiring the related information of the electronic tag stored in the reader/writer for each antenna each time, the electronic device may also update the recorded reception intensity of the target tag information detected in each area, and directly update the reception intensity corresponding to the area to the initial intensity for the area where the target tag information is not received. This situation is equivalent to the electronic device updating the recorded reception intensity every first time period.

In the embodiment of the application, the electronic device may determine the position of the target electronic tag based on the recorded receiving strength of each antenna on the target tag information. After the recorded receiving strength of each antenna to the target tag information is updated every time, the position of the target electronic tag can be determined again. Optionally, after determining the position of the target electronic tag each time, the electronic device may display a result of the determination.

Step 309, determining the maximum receiving strength of the target tag information based on the recorded receiving strength. Step 310 is performed.

The maximum receiving intensity is the maximum value of the receiving intensities of the detected target label information in each supported area by at least one receiver in the storage device. After determining the receiving intensity of the target tag information detected by each receiver in the storage device for all supported areas, the electronic device may determine the maximum value among the receiving intensities as the maximum receiving intensity. Illustratively, for the reception intensity recorded in the information pool shown in fig. 5, the maximum reception intensity for the target tag information received by the antenna 4 to which the reader/writer a is connected is-47.

Step 310, determining whether the maximum receiving intensity is greater than an intensity threshold. When the maximum receiving strength is greater than the strength threshold, execute step 311; when the maximum received strength is less than or equal to the strength threshold, step 313 is performed.

For example, an intensity threshold may be set in the electronic device, and the intensity threshold may be set by the user, or may be a fixed value set in the electronic device. Such as the intensity threshold may be-50. Alternatively, the intensity threshold may be-40 or other values. It should be noted that the intensity threshold may be set according to the volume of each storage region in the storage device, and the volume of the storage region and the intensity threshold may be inversely related. The electronic equipment can determine a certain range around the antenna connected with the reader-writer through the strength threshold, and when the electronic tag is located in the range, the receiving strength of the antenna to the electronic tag can be greater than the strength threshold; when the electronic tag is located outside the range, the intensity of the antenna receiving the electronic tag may be smaller than or equal to the intensity threshold.

And 311, determining the area corresponding to the maximum receiving intensity as a storage area of the object in which the target electronic tag is located.

The region corresponding to the maximum receiving intensity is the region corresponding to the antenna with the maximum receiving intensity for the target tag information, that is, the storage region where the antenna is located in the storage device. When the electronic device determines that the maximum receiving intensity of the target tag information is greater than the intensity threshold, the electronic device may determine that the target tag is located in a smaller range around the antenna corresponding to the maximum receiving intensity, and then determine that the target tag is located in the storage area where the antenna is located. Since the position of the target tag is the same as that of the object, the storage area where the antenna is located can be determined as the storage area of the object where the target electronic tag is located.

The electronic device may obtain structural information of the storage device and information of the plurality of regions supported by each receptacle at any time prior to step 311. For example, the electronic device may obtain a positional relationship of each storage area in the storage device, the electronic device may further obtain a connection relationship between each reader/writer and each antenna, and a storage area in which each antenna connected to each reader/writer is arranged in the storage device. Furthermore, after the electronic device determines the antenna corresponding to the maximum receiving intensity, the electronic device may determine the storage area of the article where the target electronic tag is located based on the storage area where the antenna is arranged.

The structural information of the storage device and the position information of each antenna in the storage device can be acquired in various ways. For example, a user may trigger the electronic device to acquire an image of the storage device, and the electronic device may recognize the acquired image to obtain structural information of the storage device. Or, the user can trigger the electronic device to acquire the model of the storage device, and then search the structural information of the storage device corresponding to the model and the arrangement position of the antenna in the storage device on the internet. The model number can be manually input by a user or can be obtained by analyzing an image of the storage device through an electronic device. Still alternatively, the user may draw a structure diagram of the storage device on a display screen of the electronic apparatus and input the arrangement position of the antenna in the storage device.

And step 312, displaying information of the storage area of the object where the target electronic tag is located. Step 308 is performed.

Optionally, the electronic device may display a structural diagram of the storage device based on the acquired structural information of the storage device, and further mark a storage area of an article where the target electronic tag is located in the displayed structural diagram to show the storage area of the article where the target electronic tag is located.

Fig. 8 is a schematic view of a display interface of another electronic device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 8, a prompt message "clothes are in the last storage compartment of the second column of the wardrobe" may be displayed on the electronic device to prompt the storage area of the object located by the target electronic tag.

And 313, displaying a prompt message that the object where the target electronic tag is located is not in the storage device. Step 308 is performed.

Optionally, the electronic device may still prompt, by using a structure diagram of the storage device, that the object where the target electronic tag is located is not in the storage device. Fig. 9 is a schematic view of a display interface of another electronic device provided in an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 9, a structure diagram of the storage device may be displayed in a display interface of the electronic device, and each storage area in the structure diagram is not marked, so as to indicate that the object where the target electronic tag is located is not in the storage device. Optionally, the electronic device may also prompt in the form of a text that the object located in the electronic tag is not in the storage device. For example, a prompt message "the clothes are not found in the wardrobe" may be displayed on the electronic device.

Optionally, when it is determined that the maximum receiving intensity of the target tag information is changed from being greater than the intensity threshold to being smaller than the intensity threshold, the electronic device may determine that the article where the target electronic tag is located is taken out of the storage device, and then the electronic device may display a prompt message that the article is taken out. Optionally, when it is determined that the maximum receiving intensity of the target tag information changes from being smaller than the intensity threshold to being larger than the intensity threshold, the electronic device may determine that the article where the target electronic tag is located is placed in the storage device, and then the electronic device may display a prompt message that the article is placed in the storage device.

Optionally, before the electronic device receives the search instruction of the article, the electronic device may also periodically acquire, with the first duration as an acquisition period, the information related to the electronic tag stored by the receiver for each supported area. And after receiving the searching instruction, the electronic equipment can directly determine the storage position of the clothes where the target electronic tag is located based on the related information of the electronic tag stored in the electronic equipment and display the storage position to the user, so that the situation that the user waits for a long time for the acquisition of the storage position information due to untimely information acquisition is avoided.

In the embodiment of the application, the electronic device may further receive a search stopping instruction for an article where the target electronic tag is located, and then the electronic device may delete the recorded receiving strength of each antenna on the target tag information based on the search stopping instruction, that is, delete the information pool established for the target electronic tag. For example, the electronic device may determine that a stop finding instruction for an item is received when a stop presentation operation of detailed information of the item is detected. For example, with continued reference to fig. 7 to 9, when the electronic device displays the storage position of the article, an exit control T may also be displayed in the display interface. The user can click the quitting control T, quit the display of the detailed information of the article by the electronic equipment, and further trigger the electronic equipment to receive a search stopping instruction for the article.

Optionally, after the electronic device displays the storage area of the searched article, the electronic device may further instruct the user to input feedback information whether the storage area is accurate. If the storage area is inaccurate, the electronic device may also instruct the user to input the actual storage area. Therefore, the electronic equipment can adjust the transmitting power of each antenna in the storage device based on the feedback information so as to further improve the detection precision of the storage area of the article.
