1 shows a system according to one embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 1, the system may include an electronic device 10, terminal 1 (20), terminal 2 (30), terminal 3 (40), and a network 50. The electronic device 10 can provide information related to items from sale to delivery through at least one application, and consumers or workers can check or record related information using an application installed on the terminal they are using.

Terminal 1 (20), terminal 2 (30), and terminal 3 (40) may be terminals used by consumers or by workers. Terminal 1 (20), Terminal 2 (30), and Terminal 3 (40) are only examples, and the scope of the rights of this specification is not limited thereto. The system shown in FIG. 1 shows only components related to this embodiment. Accordingly, those skilled in the art can understand that other general-purpose components may be included in addition to the components shown in FIG. 1.

The electronic device 10, terminal 1 (20), terminal 2 (30), and terminal 3 (40) can communicate with each other within the network 50. The network 50 includes a local area network (LAN), a wide area network (WAN), a value added network (VAN), a mobile radio communication network, a satellite communication network, and their respective networks. It is a comprehensive data communication network that includes a combination and allows each network constituent shown in FIG. 1 to communicate smoothly with each other, and may include wired Internet, wireless Internet, and mobile wireless communication network. Wireless communications include, for example, wireless LAN (Wi-Fi), Bluetooth, Bluetooth low energy, ZigBee, WFD (Wi-Fi Direct), UWB (ultra wideband), and infrared communication (IrDA, infrared Data Association). ), NFC (Near Field Communication), etc., but are not limited to this.

The electronic device 10 may provide all information related to an item in order to sell the item to a user, and may be included in a server that provides information related to the item. In order to manage order and delivery-related status for numerous items, the electronic device 10 needs to efficiently manage information.

Specifically, stores that store items before delivering them to consumers may have different sizes or characteristics, and accordingly, the types of attributes of items that can be handled by the stores may also be different. For example, some stores may stock items classified as fresh produce, while other stores may not. Alternatively, some stores may store certain items separately from other items depending on the price of the item, while other stores may store items separately by considering only the storage temperature without such distinction. In this way, the store can classify and store items according to their attribute types according to standards and then deliver them to consumers. The electronic device 10 can manage related information about the store and direct delivery of items stored in the store based on this information.

When an item is delivered to the store, the warehouse worker can check the identification information on the purchase order through the terminal he or she is using. The electronic device 10 may check information related to at least one item corresponding to the purchase order based on the identification information of the purchase order obtained from the terminal used by the warehouse worker. Specifically, the electronic device 10 may check an item list including at least one item corresponding to the purchase order. Additionally, the electronic device 10 may check identification information of at least one item included in the item list. Additionally, the electronic device 10 may check information (eg, expiration date, manufacturing date, and quantity information) related to at least one item included in the item list.

In addition, the electronic device 10 can check information about the skew (SKU) corresponding to the item list. Here, SKU is the basic unit for selling or managing a certain item. For example, 5 units of Coca-Cola 1.25L and 10 units of 500ml are 15 different items, but the first skew (SKU) may be a unit corresponding to 1.25L of Coca-Cola, and the second skew (SKU) may be a unit corresponding to 500ml of Coca-Cola. It may be a corresponding unit. Accordingly, the electronic device 10 may manage items received in the store by number or by skew. For reference, the average daily number of items received in a small-sized store is approximately 2,000, and the average daily skew number may be 150. At this time, there is a number of items corresponding to each skew, and based on this, the number of all items received in the store can be extracted.

In other words, the electronic device can classify the store as a small-scale store if the number of items or the number of skews received in the store per day is less than a certain standard value. In the case of small-sized stores, there is no distinction between stocking and display workers, and one worker can perform stocking and display work. Accordingly, the electronic device 10 needs to systematically guide related work procedures through the terminal used by workers in order to improve work efficiency in consideration of the characteristics of small-scale stores.

Specifically, the electronic device 10 may guide workers working in a store to perform display work after completing all stocking procedures for a plurality of SKUs received through a terminal. In this process, the electronic device 10 can maintain the identification information of the purchase order corresponding to the skew and guide the warehousing process to proceed quickly without cumbersome procedures. In addition, the electronic device 10 guides quick work by automatically checking information (e.g., expiration date, manufacturing date, and quantity information) related to at least one item corresponding to the purchase order based on the identification information of the purchase order. can do.

Hereinafter, a specific process for guiding the electronic device 10 to effectively perform the task of processing and displaying skew items received in a store will be described.

Figure 2 is a diagram for explaining tasks performed in a store according to an embodiment.

Referring to Figure 2, multiple items may be received into the store. For example, multiple suppliers, such as a first supplier, a second supplier, and a third supplier, may deliver multiple items to the store.

At this time, each supplier can submit a purchase order (PO), and it is scanned through a terminal used by a warehouse worker working at the store, and the electronic device can check related information. For example, the electronic device can check the identification information of the first PO submitted by the first supplier obtained through the terminal used by the warehouse worker, or check the identification information of the second PO submitted by the second supplier. Alternatively, you can check the identification information of the third PO submitted by the third party supplier.

The electronic device may check the list of items delivered by the supplier, at least one item included in the item list, and information about the skew based on the identification information of the purchase order. For example, you can check the list of items delivered by the first supplier, information about items 1 to 100 included in the item list, and information about skews 1 to 30. Here, skew 1 to 30 may be a unit corresponding to items 1 to 100. Here, items 1 to 10 may be the same item, for example, 500ml of Coca-Cola, and items 11 to 20 may be the same item, for example, 1.25L of Coca-Cola.

Additionally, the electronic device can automatically check information (eg, expiration date, manufacturing date, and quantity information) related to at least one item based on the identification information of the purchase order. For example, based on confirmation of the first PO, the electronic device can automatically check the expiration date and manufacturing date for each of Items 1 to 100 corresponding to the first PO. Therefore, the warehousing worker can compare the expiration date and manufacturing date confirmed through the worker terminal with the actual expiration date and actual manufacturing date of each item confirmed during the warehousing process to check whether they match. In other words, the efficiency of work performed in the store can be improved because the warehouse worker only needs to check whether the information automatically confirmed based on the PO matches the actual information of the item without the need to manually check and enter related information. .

The electronic device can check the identification information of the shipping container obtained by the warehouse worker through the terminal. The warehouse worker can use the terminal to load some items with confirmed identification information into a transport container with confirmed identification information. That is, only items for which identification information has been confirmed are loaded in the transport container for which identification information has been confirmed, and the remaining items for which identification information has not been confirmed may not yet be loaded in the transport container for which identification information has been confirmed. At this time, the electronic device can check the identification information of the transport container and check the list of items loaded in the transport container.

For example, the electronic device can check the identification information of the first transport container through the operator terminal. Thereafter, when the warehouse worker checks the identification information of items 1 to 10 through the worker terminal, the electronic device may match the identification information of the first transport container with the identification information of items 1 to 10. Alternatively, the electronic device may check the identification information of the second transport container through the worker terminal. Thereafter, when the warehouse worker confirms the identification information of items 11 to 30 through the worker terminal, the electronic device may match the identification information of the second transport container with the identification information of items 11 to 30. Accordingly, the electronic device can confirm that items 1 to 10 are loaded in the first transport container and items 11 to 30 are loaded in the second transport container.

After matching between the identification information of all items included in the item list corresponding to the first PO and the identification information of the transport container is completed, the electronic device may provide completion of warehousing processing for the first PO to the worker terminal. Additionally, the electronic device may notify the status of the first PO by providing completion of warehousing processing for the first PO to the terminal used by the first supplier.

If the transport container that matches the item corresponding to the first PO that has been received and processed is the first to the third transport container, the electronic device is a terminal used by the display worker and matches the first to the third transport container. Display information for a plurality of items can be provided. Specifically, the electronic device may provide information about where a plurality of items matching the first to third transport containers will be displayed in a pre-designated area to a terminal used by the display operator.

When the display processing for a plurality of items matched to the first to third transportation containers corresponding to the first PO is completed, the electronic device changes the status of the first PO from the receiving processing completed state to the display processing completed state. Therefore, it can be provided as a terminal used by display workers. Additionally, the electronic device may notify the status of the first PO by providing completion of display processing for the first PO to the terminal used by the first supplier.

The electronic device can manage location information on each display of a plurality of items corresponding to the first PO, and can then quickly deliver them to the consumer using the location information managed during the delivery process.

According to an embodiment, stores may be classified in size based on the number of items received or the number of skews. In the case of stores where items smaller than the standard value or skew are received, the stocking worker and the display worker are not separated and all work can be performed by one worker. At this time, the electronic device provides guidance regarding work procedures through the terminal used by the worker, allowing work to be performed smoothly in the store even if performed by only one person. Specifically, the electronic device may guide one worker to perform each task separately so that the display task is performed after all the warehouse tasks are completed, rather than performing the receiving task and the display task simultaneously. The electronic device can instruct the display operation after all receiving operations for the purchase order are completed, and the worker can separately perform each operation accordingly.

Figure 3 is a diagram for explaining skew, a unit for managing items according to an embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 3, the electronic device can check information about a plurality of skews corresponding to the first PO. For example, the first PO may include a first skew, a second skew, and a third skew, and the electronic device may determine the identification information of the first PO to determine the first skew, the second skew, and the third skew. You can check the information together.

At this time, the first skew may include the same K items, the second skew may include the same M items, and the third skew may include the same N items. For example, a first skew may contain 16 items of the same Coca-Cola 500ml, a second skew may contain 9 items of the same 1.25L of Coca-Cola, and a third skew may contain 3 items of the same 1.5L of Coca-Cola. can do.

The electronic device checks the identification information of the first PO and provides information about the items included in the first skew (e.g., expiration date, manufacturing date, quantity information), and information about the items included in the second skew (e.g., expiration date , manufacturing date, quantity information) and information on items included in the third skew (eg, expiration date, manufacturing date, quantity information) can be confirmed together.

For example, the electronic device can check the identification information of the first PO to check the expiration date, manufacturing date, and quantity information for each of the 16 items of 500ml of the same Coca-Cola contained in the first skew, and the You can check the expiration date, manufacturing date, and quantity information for each of the nine identical Coca-Cola 1.25L items, and you can check the expiration date, manufacturing date, and quantity information for each of the three identical Coca-Cola 1.5L items included in the third skew. there is.

The electronic device can check each identification information for the same item K included in the first skew obtained through the worker terminal. Through this, the electronic device can check whether the information about the first skew confirmed through the identification information of the first PO matches the actual information about the first skew obtained through the worker terminal. If there is a mismatch, the electronic device may provide an alarm message to the worker terminal.

For example, the electronic device can check whether the quantity information for 16 identical Coca-Cola 500ml items included in the first skew matches the actual quantity information obtained through the worker terminal, and if there is a mismatch, sends an alarm message to the worker terminal. can be provided.

For example, the electronic device can check whether the expiration date information for each of the 16 identical Coca-Cola 500ml items included in the first skew matches the actual expiration date information obtained through the worker terminal, and if there is a mismatch, sends an alarm message. It can be provided through a worker terminal.

For example, the electronic device can check whether the manufacturing date information for each of the 16 identical Coca-Cola 500ml items included in the first skew matches the actual manufacturing date information obtained through the worker terminal, and if there is a mismatch, sends an alarm message. It can be provided through a worker terminal.

If the expiration date information or manufacturing date information for each of the K items included in the first skew confirmed by the first PO is different, the electronic device takes this into account and provides guide information to the worker terminal to display them in different locations. can do. The electronic device may guide the items included in the first skew not to be displayed in the same location, but to be displayed in different locations by considering expiration date information or manufacturing date information.

Figure 4 shows a page of an application provided to a terminal used by a worker according to an embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 4, the area 410 is an area corresponding to the identification information of the purchase order and can display the identification information of the purchase order obtained by the warehouse worker through the terminal. For example, when the warehouse worker obtains the identification information of the first PO through the terminal, the electronic device may display the identification information of the first PO in the area 410 through the application.

The electronic device can check all skew-related information corresponding to the first PO. For example, the electronic device may check information about the first skew, second skew, and third skew corresponding to the first PO. The electronic device checks the identification information of the first PO and provides information about the items included in the first skew (e.g., expiration date, manufacturing date, quantity information), and information about the items included in the second skew (e.g., expiration date , manufacturing date, quantity information) and information on items included in the third skew (eg, expiration date, manufacturing date, quantity information) can be confirmed together.

The area 420 is an area for confirming the identification information of the item included in the first PO, and may display the identification information of the item included in the first PO acquired by the warehouse worker through the terminal. For example, when the warehouse worker acquires the identification information of item 1 included in the first skew corresponding to the first PO through the terminal, the electronic device may display the identification information of item 1 in area 420 through the application. You can.

The electronic device may maintain the identification information for the first PO displayed in the area 410 until the identification information for the item corresponding to the first PO is confirmed and warehousing processing is completed. For example, scan identification information for an item for a first skew corresponding to a first PO, scan identification information for an item for a second skew, and scan identification information for an item for a third skew. While doing so, the electronic device may maintain the identification information of the first PO. That is, the worker can scan the identification information of the first PO only once and then scan the items corresponding to the first PO in a random order, without having to scan the identification information of the first PO every time.

Previously, it was necessary to scan the item identification information and the purchase order identification information individually each time. The number of items stocked in one small store was approximately 2,000, the number of skews was approximately 150, and the worker's working hours were 15 hours, so the production rate per hour, which evaluates the worker's labor productivity, was A. Since it takes approximately 3 seconds to scan and recognize the identification information on a purchase order, the worker's hourly production increases from A because the identification information on the purchase order only needs to be scanned once while scanning about 2,000 items corresponding to one purchase order. can do.

When the identification information of all items corresponding to the first PO is confirmed in the area 430, the electronic device may activate and display the area 430 of the application. Therefore, when the worker selects the area 430, the electronic device can recognize this and manage the status of the first PO as warehousing and processing completed. Additionally, the electronic device may notify the first supplier of a status change to the completion of warehousing processing for the first PO.

Thereafter, the transport container containing the items that have been received and processed can be moved to a pre-designated area by the display worker, and the electronic device can provide the display worker with information about the location where each item will be displayed.

Figure 5 is a diagram for explaining location information where items will be displayed according to one embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 5, the display area can identify a plurality of display cells where items will be displayed. For example, the display area may include display cells A01 to display cells A05, display cells C01 to display cells C07, and display cells E01 to display cells E10.

The display worker can use the terminal to obtain identification information of the transport container that has been processed and received, and the electronic device can confirm the identification information of the transport container that is subject to display processing.

The electronic device can check the identification information of an item acquired by a display worker using a terminal among a plurality of items included in a transport container subject to display processing, and provide location information where the item will be displayed through the terminal. For example, when the display worker confirms the identification information of item 1 using the terminal, the electronic device may provide location information where item 1 will be displayed through the terminal.

When the display operation is completed for all items included in the transport container corresponding to the first PO, the electronic device may change the status of the first PO from the receiving processing completed state to the display processing completed state. The electronic device may provide information about the change in status of the first PO to the first supplier.

The electronic device may manage location information of a plurality of items corresponding to the first PO. Additionally, the electronic device may also manage location information of a plurality of items corresponding to other second POs and third POs.

According to an embodiment, each row of display cells included in the display area may be divided by considering delivery information. For example, display cell A and display cell C can be distinguished by considering the delivery address of the delivery area handled by the store. Specifically, among the plurality of delivery areas handled by the store, items corresponding to delivery address A may be located in display cell A, and items corresponding to delivery address C may be located in display cell C. Therefore, during the delivery process to consumers, the delivery person can deliver items located in display cells corresponding to each delivery address, enabling faster work.

According to an embodiment, each row of display cells included in the display area may be divided by considering criteria according to the attribute types of items. For example, each row of display cells can be divided by considering criteria according to the type of fresh product. Alternatively, each row of display cells can be divided by considering the remaining period according to the item's expiration date.

The electronic device can set classification criteria for display cells by combining a plurality of embodiments and manage location information of items stored in each display cell.

Figure 6 shows a flowchart of an information management method performed by an electronic device according to an embodiment. The above description can also be applied here.

Referring to FIG. 6, in step S610, the electronic device may check the identification information of the purchase order provided to the store obtained from the worker terminal. A plurality of purchase orders may be provided to the store, and when a warehouse worker working at the store obtains identification information of the purchase order using a terminal, the electronic device may check the identification information of the purchase order. For example, if a warehouse worker obtains the identification information of the first PO, the identification information of the second PO, and the identification information of the third PO using the terminal, the electronic device may collect the identification information of the first PO and the identification information of the second PO. You can check the identification information and the identification information of the third PO.

At this time, the electronic device can automatically check information (e.g., expiration date, manufacturing date, and quantity information) related to at least one item corresponding to the first PO based on the identification information of the first PO, and the second PO Based on the identification information of the second PO, information related to at least one item (e.g., expiration date, manufacturing date, and quantity information) can be automatically confirmed, and based on the identification information of the third PO, the third PO Information (e.g., expiration date, manufacturing date, and quantity information) related to at least one item corresponding to the PO can be automatically confirmed.

In step S620, the electronic device may check an item list including at least one item corresponding to the identification information of the purchase order. Additionally, the electronic device can check not only the item list corresponding to the first PO, but also information about items 1 to 100 and information about skew 1 to 30 included in the item list. Here, some items among items 1 to 100 may be the same item. For example, items 1 to 10 may be the same as 500ml of Coca-Cola, items 11 to 20 may be the same as 1.25L of Coca-Cola, and items 21 to 30 may be the same as 1.5L of Coca-Cola. At this time, skew 1 may correspond to items 1 to 10, skew 2 may correspond to items 11 to 20, and skew 3 may correspond to items 21 to 30.

At this time, the electronic device can check information about skew 1 to 30 according to the first PO. Specifically, the electronic device can check X items corresponding to skew 1, Y items corresponding to skew 2, and Z items corresponding to skew 3 according to the first PO. The electronic device may maintain the identification information of the first PO until the identification information of all items corresponding to the first PO is confirmed. If the identification information of all items corresponding to the first PO is confirmed, the electronic device may display the status of completion of warehousing processing for the first PO through the application.

Alternatively, when an item that does not correspond to the first PO is identified in the process of checking at least one item included in the item list corresponding to the first PO, the electronic device may provide an alarm message to the worker terminal. For example, if identification information of an item that does not correspond to the first PO is confirmed during a warehousing operation for the first PO, the electronic device may display an alarm message to guide the warehousing worker in processing it.

In step S630, the electronic device may check identification information of at least one transport container obtained from the worker terminal. In step S640, the electronic device may check identification information of at least one item included in the item list obtained from the worker terminal. In step S650, the electronic device may match the identification information of the transport container with the identification information of at least one item.

For example, the electronic device can confirm the identification information of shipping container 1. At this time, the warehouse worker can use the terminal to check the identification information of at least one item corresponding to the first PO, and place item 1, whose identification information has been confirmed, into transport container 1. Accordingly, the electronic device can match the identification information of transport container 1 with the identification information of item 1, and accordingly, the electronic device can manage item 1 as warehousing processing complete. That is, transport container 1 may be a transport container that stores items that have been received and processed corresponding to the first PO.
