Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art. Is provided to fully convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art, and the invention is only defined by the scope of the claims. Like reference numerals refer to like elements throughout the specification.

Unless defined otherwise, all terms (including technical and scientific terms) used herein may be used in a sense commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention belongs. Also, commonly used predefined terms are not ideally or excessively interpreted unless explicitly defined otherwise. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of illustrating embodiments and is not intended to be limiting of the present invention. In the present specification, the singular form includes plural forms unless otherwise specified in the specification.

First, terms used in this specification are defined.

Item: a management unit of goods receipt managed by a fixed-area recommendation method, a fixed-area recommendation apparatus, or a fixed-area recommendation system according to an embodiment of the present invention. Each item has a type, an attribute, and an LOT that is an identifier generated by combining the attributes.

A load cell recommendation method, a mount area recommendation apparatus, or a mount area recommendation system according to an embodiment of the present invention divides a space into which an item can be placed in a warehouse, divides it into a plurality of mount areas, can do. At this time, the identifier, size, attribute information, and the like of each of the remaining area can be managed.

Load zone: A zone consisting of a plurality of stacking zones, which can be operated so that only items meeting certain criteria are placed in one stacking zone, depending on the warehouse's operating strategy. For example, a destination zone may be set based on a destination of delivery, or a destination zone may be set based on the type of an item.

Task: means a unit operation that is generated for achieving the purpose of an item matching in a mount area recommendation method, a mount area recommendation apparatus, or a mount area recommendation system according to an embodiment of the present invention. Each task is assigned to a worker in the warehouse. According to embodiments of the present invention, the tasks assigned to the worker of the warehouse are for putting the received item as a fixed area. By performing the tasks assigned to each worker faithfully, it is possible to have the effect that the items placed in the warehouse as a whole are correctly placed according to the warehouse operation strategy. The assignment result of the task is transmitted to the terminal of each worker. Each worker can confirm the task allocation status and detailed information of each task using the terminal. Each task can be assigned a priority, and in this case, the terminal can guide the operator to perform a task with a higher priority first.

Attribute of item: The attribute of the item is a criterion for further subdividing the type of the item. For example, if the type of the item is TV, the size of the item (display inch), country of use, color, and the like may exist. For example, the relocation target item may be designated as a product whose color is black in TV. The item LOT is an identifier generated by combining all the item attributes. An item with the same item LOT can be understood to have exactly the same property. For example, an item LOT 'TV42KRBL' having a code 'TV' indicating the type of item, a size 42 ', a country' KR 'and a color' BL ' Means a product of black color. If item A and item LOT of item B are both 'TV42KRBL', item A and item B have exactly the same properties.

Hereinafter, the configuration and operation of a mount area recommendation system according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 1, the mount area recommendation system according to the present embodiment may include a mount area recommendation apparatus 100 and a worker terminal 16.

The warehouse (10) is provided with a plurality of mounting areas. The plurality of mount areas may be partitioned into two or more mount areas. 1 shows a warehouse 10 consisting of a total of four stacking zones 11, 12, 13 and 14. As the item is loaded in the warehouse 10, the item 18 to be loaded will be placed on the loading room 15. According to the embodiments of the present invention, the optimum mount area for mounting the received item 18 is recommended by the mount area recommendation apparatus 100. [ Each of the stacking zones includes a plurality of stacking zones. A plurality of mounting areas 11a, 11b, 11c, ... included in the first mounting area 11 are shown.

According to one embodiment, information about the received item 18 may be provided to the stack area recommendation apparatus 100. [

According to another embodiment, the worker 17 of the warehouse recognizes the identification information such as the barcode of the item 18 that has been received using the worker terminal 16, and transmits the recognized result to the fix area recommendation apparatus 100 . The recognition result of the identification information is transmitted to the area recommendation apparatus 100, it can be understood that the request for the recommendation of the mount area is transmitted.

The worker terminal 16 may be any of a variety of electronic devices that make up a PDA (Personal Digital Assistants), a portable computer, a wireless phone, a mobile phone, a smart phone, One or the like. ≪ / RTI >

The fix area recommendation apparatus 100 receives a user input for setting a requirement for a preceding item from an administrator terminal (not shown), and generates and stores a preceding item requirement data reflecting the user input. The hot zone recommendation apparatus 100 can generate and manage an identifier for each of the preceding item requirements. The administrator terminal is, for example, a terminal used by a manager of a warehouse, and may be any one of a desktop computer, a notebook computer, and a mobile terminal such as a smart phone.

The requirement of the preceding item is a requirement to designate an item in which a mountable area that can be recommended as a mountable area for a received mountable item is occupied. For example, the requirement of the preceding item is that the first attribute value (manufacturer) is Samsung, the second attribute value (outlet) is one of department stores or marts, the third attribute value (color) is not red and white, And the fourth attribute value (date of receipt) is 20140101 to 20141231.

The preceding item requirement may be specified for only one attribute value of the plurality of attribute values of the item or for two or more of the plurality of attribute values of the item. That is, assuming that the first operator and the first operand are assigned to the first attribute value and the second operator and the second operand are assigned to the second attribute value, the first attribute value and the second attribute value ≪ / RTI > constitute the preceding item requirement.

The predecessor item requirement may correspond to one or more target items. In other words, each of the items to be targeted can have an identifier of the corresponding preceding item requirement.

When an attribute of an item already set in each of the stacking areas coincides with the requirement of the preceding item when determining which one of the stacking areas the item to be stacked should be stacked, .

An item received in the warehouse 10 has a first attribute to an Nth attribute (N is a natural number of 2 or more), and only some of the attributes of the item may have a corresponding operator of the preceding item requirement. For example, when there are six attributes of an item received in the warehouse 10, the operator of the preceding item requirement and its operand can be specified only for two or three of the attributes.

In one embodiment, if there are two or more operators included in the preceding item requirement, an AND operator may be applied between the output values of each operator to determine the final output value of the preceding item requirement. In the general case, the final output value of the preceding item requirement will be either TRUE or FALSE. In another embodiment, when there are two or more operators included in the preceding item requirement, an OR operator may be applied between the output values of each operator to determine the final output value of the preceding item requirement.

For example, there are six total attributes of an item, each of which may be a type of item (e.g., TV), a color of the item (e.g., black), an item's origin (e.g., department store) (For example, Samsung), the size of the item (for example, 46 inches), and the date of wearing the item (for example, 2014-09-18) TV and the origin of the item is set to indicate that it is included in a department store or a large electronics retailer, the goods that are shipped from the department store or the large electronics retailer will be placed in the same lower area. At this time, the color, size, type, and manufacturer of the item are not taken into consideration when determining the target area of the target item.

According to the present embodiment, there is an effect that the items can be grouped based on only a part of the attributes of the items managed by the warehouse, and the grouped items can be collected and accumulated in the same stacking area.

According to one embodiment, the operator includes not only EQUAL, NOT EQUAL but also IN, NOT IN and BETWEEN.

The containment operator returns a TRUE value if the attribute value of the item to be reviewed is one of the operands of the containment operator. For example, if the color attribute of the item being reviewed is RED and the operator and operand for the color attribute is 'IN BLACK, RED, WHITE', the output for the IN operator would be TRUE.

The non-inclusion operator returns a value of FALSE when the attribute value of the item to be reviewed is one of the operands of the inclusion operator. For example, if the color attribute of the item being reviewed is RED and the operator and operand for the color attribute is 'NOT IN BLACK, RED, WHITE', the output for the IN operator would be FALSE.

The inter-operator returns a TRUE value when the attribute value of the item to be reviewed belongs to a range specified by the operand of the inclusion operator. For example, if the goods receipt date attribute of the item to be reviewed is 2014-09-18, and the operator and operand for the goods receipt attribute are described as 'BETWEEN 2014-08-18 to 2014-10-18', the BETWEEN operator The output to TRUE will be.

In order to determine an area to which a target item is to be placed, the target area recommendation apparatus 100 inquires of the target area in which the item matching the preceding item requirement is trailed, .

When the fix area recommendation apparatus 100 receives a fix area recommendation request including an identifier of a fix target item from the worker terminal 18, information on a fix region determined as a fix region of the fix target item is stored in the fix region Can be sent in response to receipt of a recommendation request. Thereby, the worker 17 will be able to know to which set area the item to be set is to be placed.

The fix area recommendation apparatus 100 may determine a fix area for each of the items 18 that have been self-inserted, even if the fix area recommendation request is not received from the worker terminal 18. [ In this case, the mount area recommendation apparatus 100 generates a stacking task to the determined stacking area for each item 18, assigns the generated stacking task to the worker 17, The information on the remaining task can be transmitted.

Next, referring to FIG. 2, a description will be given of a method of recommending a mount area according to another embodiment of the present invention.

The present embodiment can be performed by a computing device having computing means. The computing device may be, for example, a target area recommendation device according to another embodiment of the present invention. The configuration and operation of the above-mentioned mount area recommendation apparatus will be described later in detail with reference to Figs. 8 to 9. Fig. Hereinafter, for the sake of convenience of description, the subject performing each operation of the mount area recommendation method according to the present embodiment may be omitted from the description.

First, the requirement of the preceding item is set (S100). According to the present embodiment, a user interface for setting the precedent item requirement can be provided. 3 is an example of the user interface. The information for rendering the user interface may be transmitted from, for example, the recommendation area recommendation apparatus to the administrator terminal. The administrator terminal is, for example, a terminal used by a manager of a warehouse, and may be any one of a desktop computer, a notebook computer, and a mobile terminal such as a smart phone.

3, the user interface for setting the precedence item requirement includes operators 21a, 22a, 23a, 24a applied to each attribute 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26 of the item, A well-known input control such as an edit area or a checklist or a radio button for inputting the input signals 21b, 22b, 23b, and 24b may be included.

Some of the attributes of an item may not have an operator specified. This means that, for some attributes, it is not taken into account when determining the stacking area of the item to be stacked. Fig. 3 shows that no operator is specified for attribute 5 (25) and attribute 6 (26).

If the requirement of the preceding item is set as shown in FIG. 3, if the manufacturer (first attribute) is Samsung, the goods issue (second attribute) is a department store or a mart, the color (third attribute) is not RED, After the goods receipt item (fourth attribute) is retrieved from the stock item of January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2014, the fixed area where the inquired item is located is determined as the fixed area for the item to be stacked .

The preceding item requirement shown in FIG. 3 is for a product manufactured by Samsung and is not suitable for a product of a non-Samsung company. That is, the requirement of the preceding item is not applied to all the items in the warehouse, but the requirements of the different items of the preceding item may be applied to the items in the warehouse. For this case, an identifier of the preceding item requirement may be specified for each item received.

Returning back to FIG. When a request for a recommendation area is received from the worker terminal (S200), a step of comparing items previously stored in the reserved area in the warehouse with the requirements of the preceding item is performed (S300).

The comparison process (S300) in the embodiment for recommending the mount area included in the specific mount area will be described in detail with reference to Fig.

As described above, each item to be picked may have information on the corresponding preceding item requirement. The preceding item requirement may further include the remaining zone designation information. That is, the preceding item requirement can additionally designate in which racking zone the item to be racked to which the preceding item requirement is applied is placed.

The user interface for setting the preceding item requirement of FIG. 3 additionally shows means 20 for designating a fix zone. However, it is not necessary to limit the number of zones in the rule for determining the zone to be set, since the zone may not be managed separately according to the warehouse.

In this embodiment, when a request for a recommendation area is received (S200), an identifier of a target item to be included in the request for a target area is extracted and the identifier of the target item is used to identify a preceding item The requirement is inquired (S310). A reserved zone is specified in the inquired preceding item requirement. The designated stacking zone is determined as a stacking zone in which the stacking target item is stacked (S320). Next, in step S330, it is checked whether the items in the fixed area belonging to the fixed area are compared one by one with the inquired preceding item requirement (S330).

On the other hand, according to one embodiment, the requirement for an attribute of an item that can be placed in each stacking zone can be additionally managed. For example, in the first subtitle zone, only the items whose attribute value of the first attribute (maker) is "SEMICON-ELECTRIC" are placed, and the second subtitle section is displayed with the item whose attribute value of the first attribute The requirements can be managed so that only the users are allowed to be placed. Hereinafter, a method of designating a mount area covered by each mount area and a method of defining an attribute requirement of an item that can be placed in each mount area will be described with reference to Figs. 5 to 6. Fig.

5 is an example of a user interface for designating a mounting area covered by each mounting area. As shown in Fig. 5, partition marks 31a and 31b can be adjusted according to the input of the manager on the layout indicating the arrangement of the rack area of the warehouse, in order to specify the rack area covered by the specific rack area . For example, a reserved area for items to be shipped to a department store may be expanded to include more reserved areas by expanding the existing partition mark 31a using a mouse drag input or the like to adjust it to a new partition mark 31b . After specifying the included area, it is possible to define which item is to be placed in the area. This will be described with reference to Fig.

Figure 6 is an example of a user interface for inputting a settable requirement for defining an item to be placed in a mount zone.

As shown in FIG. 6, the user interface may include an item 33 in which an identifier of a reserved area is described.

An item to be placed in a chest area may be defined by only a part of attributes. For this purpose, an operator may be specified for some of the attributes of items managed by the warehouse. In addition, the operator includes not only EQUAL, NOT EQUAL but also IN, NOT IN, and BETWEEN. This point has been described with reference to FIG. 3, and a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

As described with reference to Figs. 5 to 6, when a requirement for an attribute of an item requested by each stacking zone is specified, the stacking zone determination (S320) of Fig. 4 is performed by simply determining a preceding item requirement , But rather by determining whether the attribute of the item to be targeted conforms to the allowable requirement of each of the stacking zones.

Hereinafter, a method for recommending a mount area according to another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

First, the availability condition of the mounting area is set (S600). At this time, the user can use the user interface shown in FIGS. 5 to 6 to adjust the coverage area covered by each coverage area, and to set the storable requirement of each coverage area.

Next, a fix area recommendation request including an identifier of the item to be targeted is received from the worker terminal (S700). According to another embodiment, it is noted that even if a request for a rack area recommendation is not received from an operator terminal, a rack area determination may be performed for each rack target item.

Next, a stacking area having a stackable requirement conforming to the attribute of the stacking target item is inquired. This is performed by determining whether or not the attribute of the target item to be matched matches the allowable requirement of each rack zone (S800). If the attribute of the item to be titled satisfies the fixable requirement of the specific fix zone (S900), the specific fix zone is determined as the fix zone in which the fix target item is to be stacked.

Next, in step S1000, a fixed area where the target item can be stacked is selected in consideration of the size of the target item among the target areas included in the determined target area. According to an embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to select a fixed area where the stacking rate is maximized when the stacking of the stacking target items among the stacking areas included in the determined stacking area is performed.

Next, in response to the request for the mount area recommendation, the mount area is recommended by transmitting information about the selected mount area (S1100).

The fixable requirement differs from the preceding item requirement, which is compared with the attribute of the item already set in each stacking area, in that it is compared with the attribute of the stacking target item. However, it should be noted that both the above-mentioned allowable requirement and the preceding item requirement can be specified only for some attribute of the item, and at least one of IN, NOT IN, and BETWEEN is used as an operator It is the same in that it can be.

The method of recommending a strike zone according to the embodiments of the present invention described above with reference to Figs. 1 to 7 is carried out by the execution of a computer program embodied in computer readable code on a computer readable medium . The computer-readable medium may be, for example, a removable recording medium (CD, DVD, Blu-ray disc, USB storage device, removable hard disk) have. The computer program recorded on the computer-readable recording medium may be transmitted from the first computing device to the second computing device via a network such as the Internet and installed in the second computing device, Lt; / RTI > The first computing device and the second computing device may include a server device, a fixed computing device such as a desktop PC, a mobile computing device such as a notebook, a smart phone, a tablet PC, and a wearable computing device such as a smart watch, do.
