Specifically, referring to fig. 1B, it can be known that the form and content of the paper price tag are all basically composed of a plurality of blocks and a background, and for this rule, the block cutting model is trained in advance by the deep neural network technology. After the block cutting model is trained, the image of the paper price tag is input into the block cutting model, each block in the image of the paper price tag is identified and cut by the block cutting model, the cut part is the block, and the part which is not cut is the original background. The segmentation is different from the conventional target monitoring technology, the type of the target is not identified, for example, the picture of an apple is arranged on a paper price sign, the block cutting model only needs to identify the picture, the position, the size and the level of the picture can be accurately judged, and whether the content of the picture is the apple is not required to be determined.

S120, generating an adaptive background according to the original background and the hardware parameters of the electronic price tag.
