Detailed Description

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the description is only exemplary and is not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure. In the following detailed description, for purposes of explanation, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments of the present disclosure. It may be evident, however, that one or more embodiments may be practiced without these specific details. In addition, in the following description, descriptions of well-known structures and techniques are omitted so as not to unnecessarily obscure the concepts of the present disclosure.

The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the disclosure. The terms "comprises," "comprising," and/or the like, as used herein, specify the presence of stated features, steps, operations, and/or components, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, steps, operations, or components.

All terms (including technical and scientific terms) used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art unless otherwise defined. It should be noted that the terms used herein should be construed to have meanings consistent with the context of the present specification and should not be construed in an idealized or overly formal manner.

Where expressions like at least one of "A, B and C, etc. are used, the expressions should generally be interpreted in accordance with the meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the art (e.g.," a system having at least one of A, B and C "shall include, but not be limited to, a system having a alone, B alone, C alone, a and B together, a and C together, B and C together, and/or A, B, C together, etc.).

The distributing wall is integrated with a plurality of devices, such as a distributing vehicle, a grid, a container, a track and the like, and the distributing task of goods is completed through the collocation of the plurality of devices in the distributing wall. In addition, the automatic goods distribution also relates to information such as orders, and therefore, a plurality of goods in the same order can be distributed to corresponding grid openings through interaction operation between the control console and the distribution wall.

The device control protocol between the console and the multicast wall is implemented by the tcp/udp protocol of the transport layer. However, the tcp/udp protocol of the transport layer is used to transport basic binary packets, and the communication messages between the console and the multicast wall are also original binary tcp/udp messages.

In the prior art, the message readability is poor, the analysis difficulty is high, the expandability is low and the universality is poor in the message transmission through the tpc/udp message. For example, in the case of an abnormality in the console, an abnormality in the multicast wall, and an abnormality in the communication process between the console and the multicast wall, it is difficult to intuitively understand the current interactive operation and locate the abnormality from the binary tpc/udp message. When the functions of the device are newly added in the multicast wall and the multicast wall is expanded, the time spent for reading and knowing the device control protocol and constructing the message based on the tpc/udp protocol is long and the efficiency is low, so that the scalability of the multicast wall is poor.

To at least partially solve the above technical problems, embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for controlling a multicast wall for executing a goods multicast task; the method comprises the following steps: generating a target communication message for representing the target event in response to determining that the multicast wall has the target event, wherein the target communication message is generated based on a target communication protocol of an application layer, and the format of the target communication message defined by the target communication protocol comprises a text data exchange format; the target communication message is sent to a control console, so that the control console can generate a control task aiming at the target communication message; and processing the target event according to the control task in response to receiving the control task issued by the console.

Fig. 1 schematically illustrates an application scenario of a multicast wall control method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

As shown in fig. 1, an application scenario 100 according to this embodiment may include a console 101 and a multicast wall 102.

The network is used as a medium to provide a communication link between console 101 and the multicast wall 102. The network may include various connection types, such as wired, wireless communication links, or fiber optic cables, among others.

A user may use a terminal device to interact with console 101 over a network, console 101 may interact with a multicast wall 102 over the network to receive or send messages, etc. Various communication client applications may be installed on the terminal device, such as shopping class applications, web browser applications, search class applications, instant messaging tools, mailbox clients, social platform software, and the like (by way of example only). The terminal device may be a variety of electronic devices having a display screen and supporting web browsing, including but not limited to smartphones, tablets, laptop and desktop computers, and the like.

The console 101 may be a server that provides various services. For example, the server may be a cloud server, also called a cloud computing server or a cloud host, which is a host product in a cloud computing service system, so as to solve the defects of large management difficulty and weak service expansibility in the traditional physical hosts and VPS services (Virtual Private Server, virtual private servers).

The distribution wall 102 includes a plurality of hardware devices and a software system that can interact with the console to receive or transmit information to control the hardware devices for distribution of items.

Hardware devices of the distribution wall 102 include a distribution vehicle, a packet supply station, a scanning device, an operation terminal, a shelf, a turnover box, a radio frequency identification (Radio Frequency Identification, abbreviated as RFID) tag, a card reader, and the like. The software system of the multicast wall 102 includes a warehouse control system (Warehouse Control System, abbreviated as WCS) and a scheduling system.

According to embodiments of the present disclosure, the software system of the multicast wall 102 may interact with other servers other than the console 101 to enable control of hardware devices.

It should be noted that, the method for controlling a multicast wall provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure may be generally performed by the multicast wall 102. Accordingly, the multicast wall control device provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure may be generally disposed in the multicast wall control device.

The multicast wall control method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure may also be performed by the console 101. Accordingly, the multicast wall control device provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure may also be disposed in the console 101.

The method for controlling the multicast wall provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure may also be executed by a system composed of the console 101 and the multicast wall 102, and the device for controlling the multicast wall provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure may also be disposed on the console 101 side or the multicast wall 102 side of the system, or disposed on two sides of the console 101 and the multicast wall 102 respectively.

It should be understood that the number of servers, multicast walls in fig. 1 is merely illustrative. There may be any number of servers, a multicast wall, as desired for implementation.

Fig. 2 schematically illustrates a flow chart of a method of multicast wall control according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

As shown in fig. 2, the method 200 includes operations S210 to S230.

In operation S210, in response to determining that the multicast wall has a target event, a target communication message for characterizing the target event is generated, wherein the target communication message is generated based on a target communication protocol of an application layer, and a format of the target communication message is defined by the target communication protocol to include a text data exchange format.

In operation S220, the target communication message is transmitted to the console so that the console generates a control task for the target communication message.

In response to receiving the control task issued by the console, the target event is processed according to the control task in operation S230.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a distribution wall is used to perform a commodity distribution task. In the scene of the sub-broadcasting wall, goods can enter the sub-broadcasting wall through a packet supply station arranged on the sub-broadcasting wall. And under the condition that the distribution wall detects that a new article is to be distributed, executing an article distribution task, and transporting the article to be distributed to a corresponding grid in the distribution wall to complete the article distribution task.

According to the embodiment of the disclosure, the control console and the distribution wall can realize the sending and receiving of goods information and distribution tasks through interactive operation. For example, the console may send order information or the like to which the items belong to the distribution wall.

According to embodiments of the present disclosure, the interaction between the console and the unicast wall is implemented based on a predetermined target communication protocol of the application layer, and the interaction timing between the console and the unicast wall is also determined by the target communication protocol.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the target communication protocol includes a message protocol based on a publish/subscribe paradigm. The target communication protocol works on the TCP/IP protocol family of the transmission layer and is a publish/subscribe message protocol designed for remote equipment with low hardware performance and under the condition of poor network condition. For example, the target communication protocol includes a message queue telemetry transport (Message Queuing Telemetry Transport, MQTT) protocol.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the format of the communication message between the target communication protocol definition console and the multicast wall includes a text data exchange format, for example, a JS object profile (JavaScript Object Notation, JSON) format.

For example, the communication message defined according to the target communication protocol may include information such as "a multicast wall state", "2022xxxx", and "dhsdk", where "the multicast wall state", "2022xxxx", and "dhsdk" are text expression forms supported by JSON format.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the target communication protocol is determined based on an object model of the multicast wall. The object model of the multicast wall is used for defining the attribute and the function of the multicast wall, the event occurring in the multicast wall, the application method for realizing the function and the like. Therefore, the object model based on the multicast wall determines the object communication protocol, so that the event characteristics of the multicast wall can be reserved, and the communication message generated based on the object communication protocol can intuitively express the information of the event in the multicast wall without binary encoding and decoding.

In accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure, in a multicast wall scenario, the target event includes a variety of events that have occurred in the multicast wall. For example, new items enter the distribution wall, items are redistributed with incorrect location distribution, equipment on the distribution wall malfunctions, etc.

According to the embodiment of the disclosure, after the target event occurs, the multicast wall actively generates the target communication message for representing the target event, and a console is not required to issue a detection instruction in advance. After the multicast wall generates the target communication message, the control console sends a message through the target communication message so that the control console generates a control task for executing the target event according to the target communication message.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the control task may be a control instruction for controlling the multicast wall to perform a partial operation; therefore, after receiving the control task issued by the control console, the multicast wall processes the target event according to the control task.

According to the embodiment of the disclosure, the control task may also be feedback information after information is acquired from the target communication message. At this time, after receiving the control task issued by the console, the multicast wall determines whether to perform a subsequent operation on the target event according to feedback.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the interactive operation between the multicast wall and the console can be realized through the target communication protocol of the application layer. Because the target communication protocol defines the format of the target communication message to include the text data exchange format, the console can directly analyze and obtain the information related to the target event from the target communication message without other binary decoding operations. Therefore, the embodiment of the disclosure can improve the protocol universality and the message readability between the multicast wall and the console. In addition, the target communication protocol is determined based on the object model of the multicast wall, and the format of the target interaction message defined by the target communication protocol is a text data interaction format, so that the target communication protocol has higher readability, and when the function of the multicast wall is expanded, the original target communication protocol can be simply and rapidly expanded, and the expandability of the multicast wall is improved.

Fig. 3 schematically illustrates a flowchart of a method for generating a target communication message according to an embodiment of the disclosure.

As shown in fig. 3, the method includes operations S311 to S312.

In operation S311, in response to determining that the multicast wall has a target event, a message generation template matching the target event is determined from the target communication protocol, wherein the message generation template is predetermined based on the object model.

In operation S312, a target communication message for characterizing the target event is generated according to the message generation template; the message generating template comprises at least one event parameter related to the target event.

According to the embodiment of the disclosure, the target communication protocol can define a message construction form, i.e. a message generation template, for each event based on the object model of the multicast wall.

According to embodiments of the present disclosure, an event (event) defined in the object model of a multicast wall refers to a message triggered by some condition. The target communication protocol determined based on the object model of the multicast wall can define the communication message form of the standard event.

Therefore, aiming at the target event occurring on the multicast wall, a message generation template can be obtained in advance based on the communication message form of the standard event, so that when the target event occurs, a target communication message for representing the target event can be generated according to the message generation template in time.

According to the embodiment of the disclosure, a plurality of events occurring on the multicast wall relate to a plurality of types and quantity of event parameters, and therefore, a plurality of events can correspond to a plurality of message generation templates.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the message generating template includes at least one event parameter related to the target event, where the event parameter exists in a JSON-supported format.

For example, the format of the event parameters may be numeric, boolean, string, array, etc.

According to embodiments of the present disclosure, the definition for standard events in the object model may be "" description of events "," display-name "", "" display name "", "" id "" "event name" "," "parameters" "" attribute parameters "… …". The message generating template determined based on the object model can be defined with information such as character digits, positions and the like of the description, the display-name and the parameters. Therefore, when the target communication message is generated, the target communication message can be quickly generated only by adding the event parameters corresponding to the description, the display-name and the parameters to the corresponding positions.

The following will describe in detail the interaction between the console and the multicast wall in the event of a specific event occurring on the multicast wall as a target event.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the target event comprises an item scan event and the target communication message comprises a first communication message. Generating a target communication message for representing a target event according to the message generation template comprises: acquiring a first message generation template related to an item scanning event; according to the goods identification of the scanned goods in the goods scanning event, generating a multicast task identification; and taking the goods identification and the sub-broadcasting task identification as first event parameters, and generating a first communication message related to the goods scanning event based on a first message generating template, wherein the first communication message is used for notifying a console to generate the goods sub-broadcasting task.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the item scanning event refers to the item identification of the item scanned by the scanning station of the distribution wall in real time. The scanned goods are scanned goods in the goods scanning event, and the scanned goods can be the goods which never appear in the process of the separating wall, or the goods which are separated to the corresponding grid openings by the separating wall, but are put into the scanning table again by manual taking.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the first message generating template may be a standard template that is generated in advance for the item scan event. After the goods scanning event occurs, the first message generating template can be directly called to generate the first communication message.

According to the embodiment of the disclosure, the article identifier is used for uniquely identifying the article, and may be an article bar code of the article. The multicast task identifier is used for uniquely identifying the current event so that the console and the multicast wall can perform information interaction on the commodity multicast event.

According to the embodiment of the disclosure, after the goods identifier and the sub-broadcasting task identifier are obtained, the goods identifier and the sub-broadcasting task identifier can be used as first event parameters and filled in a preset position in the first message generating template to obtain the first communication message.

For example, the first communication message includes a fixed message header, a custom message header, and a message body, where the custom message header may be information related to an item scanning event, and the message body includes the first event parameter described above.

According to the embodiment of the disclosure, after the goods scanning event occurs, the distribution wall actively sends a first communication message to the console; the console can generate a goods sub-distribution task aiming at the goods scanning event according to the first communication message, and send the goods sub-distribution task to the sub-distribution wall.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, in the case where the target event is an item scan event, the control task includes an item distribution task. In response to receiving a control task issued by the console, processing a target event according to the control task, including: in response to receiving an article distribution task issued by a console, determining a first grid for packing and scanning articles according to the article distribution task; and invoking a distribution truck in the distribution wall to transport the scanned goods to the first grid.

According to the embodiment of the disclosure, after the multicast wall actively sends the first communication message to the console, the multicast wall may wait for feedback from the console. When receiving the goods distribution task issued by the console, the scanned goods can be transported to the corresponding grid openings in the distribution wall according to the goods distribution task.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the distribution wall includes at least one distribution truck therein for transporting the goods to the corresponding gate so that the container placed at the gate stores the scanned goods.

According to the embodiment of the disclosure, the sub-broadcasting wall can generate a transportation instruction according to the sub-broadcasting task identifier and the first grid in the goods sub-broadcasting task; and invoking the distribution truck to transport the scanned goods to the first grid port based on the transport instruction.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a first bin is used to package the scanned item. The openings on the distribution wall may have a correspondence to the orders so that multiple items in a single order are packaged through one opening. For example, a plurality of items in order A are placed in pocket B.

According to the embodiment of the disclosure, the console can determine the target order to which the scanned goods belong according to the goods identification of the scanned goods, and determine the first grid based on the binding relation between the target order and the grid in the distributing wall.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the target communication protocol defines the interaction message and the interaction time sequence aiming at the goods scanning event, and the first communication message comprises the event parameters which can be intuitively analyzed, and other binary decoding operations are not needed, so that the embodiment of the disclosure can improve the protocol universality and the message readability between the distribution wall and the console. In addition, the target communication protocol is determined based on the object model of the multicast wall, and the format of the target interaction message defined by the target communication protocol is a text data interaction format, so that the target communication protocol has higher readability, and when the function of the multicast wall is expanded, the original target communication protocol can be simply and rapidly expanded, and the expandability of the multicast wall is improved.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, in a case where the target event is an item scan event, the method for controlling a multicast wall further includes: in response to an abnormality in executing the item distribution task, transporting the scanned item to a second bin according to the abnormality type; acquiring a second message generation template; and taking the second grid information, the abnormal type and the goods identification of the scanned goods as second event parameters, and generating a second communication message based on a second message generating template, wherein the second communication message is used for informing a control console of the occurrence of the abnormality and the abnormality processing result of the scanned goods.

According to the embodiment of the disclosure, in the scene of the multicast wall, the information of the multicast wall processing exception and the notification control console exception are not the control console control processing exception. The abnormal type comprises multiple goods abnormality caused by the fact that the first lattice is free of a placing space, and abnormality occurs in the running process of the transport vehicle.
