传统零售业的购物方式,每一家超市或便利店需要有专门的销售人员和收款人员,人力成本较高。随着电子支付技术、身份感知技术及云计算技术的发展,无人超市项目在技术上具备很高的可行性。在无人超市项目中,急需解决的一个基本问题就是用户选购货品的判断和记录问题,具体地说,服务器需要准确判定用户从货架上取走货品的种类、取走货品的数量及单价等,以便自动为用户实现结算。
现有技术中,同种类的货品尽量摆放在同一货架或托盘上,如果用户将某货品从一货架或一托盘取下后,将其放置到另一货架或托盘上,就会造成错拿错放的问题,对于现有技术的一些解决方案来说,在购物过程中,用户将已拾取的货品放回货架时必须放回原位。当用户在将已拾取的货品错放至其他位置时,计算机不能精准识别被放回货品的种类及数量,不能及时准确地更新用户的购物数据库,用户将货品放回至货架的错误位置后还要支付该商品费用,造成识别错误,影响用户体验。用户将错拿的货品乱放至错误的货架或托盘,进而导致该用户购物记录出错的问题,被业内称为错拿错放问题。
现有技术中,在货架上安装重量传感器只能判断被取走或被放回的货品属于哪一种类,而不能准确分辨同种类货品的细节差异,不能判断出被取走或被放回的货品是哪一个。因此,市场上急需一种能精准判断变动货品身份的技术,以解决错拿错放的问题。

具体实施方式
以下参考说明书附图完整介绍本发明的优选实施例,使其技术内容更加清楚和便于理解。本发明可以通过许多不同形式的实施例来得以体现,其保护范围并非仅限于文中提到的实施例。
在附图中,结构相同的部件以相同数字标号表示,各处结构或功能相似的部件以相似数字标号表示。本发明所提到的方向用语,例如,上、下、前、后、左、右、内、外、上表面、下表面、侧面、顶部、底部、前端、后端、末端等,仅是附图中的方向,只是用来解释和说明本发明,而不是用来限定本发明的保护范围。
当某些部件被描述为“在”另一部件“上”时,所述部件可以直接置于所述另一部件上;也可以存在一中间部件,所述部件置于所述中间部件上,且所述中间部件置于另一部件上。当一个部件被描述为“安装至”或“连接至”另一部件时,二者可以理解为直接“安装”或“连接”,或者一个部件通过一中间部件间接“安装至”或“连接至”另一个部件。
本实施例涉及一种货品识别系统,是用于无人超市或无人便利店的无人售货系统中的一部分。
如图1~图3所示,所述无人售货系统包括一封闭空间1,其内设有多个货架2,每一货架2包括支架3及可拆卸式安装在支架3上的多个架板4,多个架板4在不同高度彼此平行或者在同一高度彼此平齐。每一架板4上设有一个托盘5或多个并列设置的托盘5,每一托盘5上放置有至少一种货品,每一种货品的数目为一个或多个。本实施例中,在同一托盘5上的货品种类相同或不同,优选同一托盘5上仅摆放一种货品。
如图2、图3、图9所示,本发明所述货品识别系统100,包括电子设备10、至少一货 架2以及至少一微重量传感器6。
每一托盘5与架板4之间都设置有至少一个微重量传感器6,优选近似于长方体形状的重量传感器,其一端的下表面连接至一架板4,其另一端的上表面连接至一托盘5,每一个微重量传感器6连接至电子设备10,实时获取其上方的托盘5及被放置在托盘5上表面的全部货品总的精准重量值并将该精准重量值传送至电子设备10。
电子设备10优选一计算机,其存储器中存储有一货品数据库,在所述货品数据库中存储有至少一货品的货品信息;所述货品信息包括每一种类货品的货品种类、货品价格及标准重量值。进一步地,所述货品信息还包括每一个货品的货品编号,根据货品编号可以查找每一货品的信息。在该货品数据库中还存储有每一托盘的编号m,每一托盘在空置状态下的精准重量值Pm0及摆放在每一托盘上的货品种类,每一个货品的精准重量值,每一个货品的摆放位置等。同一种类的货品具有相同的标准重量值,但由于个体差异,同一种类的不同货品具有不同的精准重量值。
所述精准重量值精确到10 x克,x为整数,-3≤x≤0,优选x=-1或-2,显然精度更高的传感器成本更高,出于成本考虑,传感器精度只要可以判断出货品个体即可,便利店的经营者可以根据货品总数选择合适的传感器精度。当有某一货品被用户取走时,该货品所处托盘5下方的微重量传感器6采集的精准重量值数据就会变小,当有某一货品被放回时,该货品所处托盘5下方的微重量传感器6采集的精准重量值数据就会变大。电子设备10通过微重量传感器6可以实时监控每一托盘的精准重量变化值,判断是否有货品被取走或被放回,判断该货品的货品编号,记录该货品的货品信息。
在理想状态下,用户素质都比较高,每一次放回货品时都能将该货品正确放回至该货品原属货架。或者,在无人超市墙壁上提醒用户,错放货品会导致购物记录出错,支付金额会超过实际消费金额,迫使所有用户在每一次放回货品时都能将该货品正确放回至该货品原来所处的位置。但此种方法始终未能从根本上解决了用户在购物中因错拿错放货品导致其购物记录出错的问题,如果用户将货品放错位置,导致系统记录出错,就会给客户较差的用户 体验。
本实施例中,同一种类的货品具有相同的标准重量值,但由于个体差异,通常一件货品的精准重量值与其标准重量值会有一定的偏差,该偏差一般是小于或等于5%。事实上,世界上没有绝对相同的两件货品,重量精度越高,一件货品与其他货品重量相同的可能性也就越小。
假设一个便利店有多件货品的精准重量值在精确到1克时完全相同,当微重量传感器的重量精度为0.1克时,出现两件货品精准重量值完全相同的可能性是10%;当微重量传感器的重量精度为0.01克时,出现两件货品精准重量值完全相同的可能性是1%。
事实上,即使微重量传感器的重量精度只精确到1克,相同种类的几个不同货品也很可能具备不同的重量值,出现两件以上货品的精准重量值完全相同的可能性会进一步降低。举例来说,若一件货品的标准重量值为100克,其重量值合理偏差范围是正负5%,该种类下的每一件货品的真实重量值可能为95~105克之间的任意一个数值,出现两件货品精准重量值完全相同的可能性是1/11,即9.1%。在这种情况下,当微重量传感器的重量精度精确到0.1克时,出现两件货品精准重量值完全相同的可能性是0.91%,当微重量传感器的重量精度精确到0.01克时,出现两件货品精准重量值完全相同的可能性是0.091%。
一般来说,一个普通便利店被摆放在货架上的货品总数量为300-3000件,被摆放在同一托盘上的同种类的货品数目一般只有5-30个,因此便利店出现两件商品的精准重量完全相同的可能性很小,可以忽略不计。
现有技术的微重量传感器的重量精度有些已经可以做到10 -4克,重量传感器的精度越高,出现两件商品的精准重量值完全相同的可能性越小。通常情况下,计算机可以忽略小概率事件的影响,认为每一件货品都具有唯一的精准重量值。因此,在本实施例中,货品的精准重量值可以被用作为每一件货品专有的参数,精准重量值也可以被称为微重量值、微重量参数或微重量属性,在实际应用中,可以根据货品的精准重量值的差异来辨别每一件货品的货品编号。
本发明所述电子设备将每一货品的精准重量值作为货品取放状态的判断依据,根据货架上每一托盘的重量变化情况,准确地判断被取走或被放回货品的货品编号,进而从货品数据库中调用该货品的价格和种类等货品信息。在判断出取放货品的用户身份后,实时更新该用户的购物数据库。
一般情况下,为方便用户查找货品,每一托盘只放一种货品;当然,也可以放置种类相似的货品,如几种不同品牌、不同规格、不同价格的饮料可以被放在同一托盘上,并不会影响用户体验。
当某一托盘上的某一货品被取走时,该货品所处托盘下方的微重量传感器实时采集该托盘的精准重量值,与货品数据库中该托盘前一时刻的精准重量值对比并计算二者的差值,获取该托盘的精准重量变化值。由于在货品数据库中预先存储有每一托盘的编号及摆放在每一托盘上的货品的种类,电子设备10根据重量发生变化的托盘的编号即可获取被取走货品的可能的种类。由于在货品数据库中预先存储有每一种类货品的标准重量值和每一件货品的精准重量值,电子设备10根据该托盘的精准重量变化值即可判断被取走货品的货品种类和货品编号。由于每一个货品对应一个微重量参数,三千个货品会有三千个精准重量值,即使同一个托盘内被放置有多种不同种类的货品,所述电子设备也可准确识别出被拿取的货品对应的货品编号。在该货品的编号被识别的同时,电子设备10将该托盘的新的精准重量值存储至所述货品数据库,以替换该托盘的原精准重量值,完成货品数据库更新。同时,电子设备10将被取走货品的货品信息写入取走该货品的用户的购物数据库,以实时更新该用户的购物记录。
当用户将一货品被放回原位置时,电子设备也可准确识别出被放回的货品对应的货品编号,其数据处理流程与前一过程类似。电子设备将该托盘的新的精准重量值存储至所述货品数据库,以替换该托盘的原精准重量值,完成货品数据库更新。同时,电子设备10将被放回货品的货品信息从放回该货品的用户的购物数据库中删除,以实时更新该用户的购物记录。
如果发生错拿错放现象,有用户将原属于A托盘的货品放置于B托盘,由于A、B托盘都是连接至同一台电子设备10中,因此该计算机还是能根据B托盘精准重量变化值识别出该货品的精准重量值,并据此判断其货品编号。在确定放回该货品的用户身份和该货品的编号后,从该用户的购物数据库中删除这一货品对应的货品信息。如图4所示,本发明提供一种货品识别方法,包括如下步骤S1-S12。
S1、货架设置步骤,设置至少一货架,每一货架包括多个彼此独立的托盘。
S2、传感器设置步骤,设置至少一微重量传感器于每一托盘下方,用以实时监控托盘重量的变化。微重量传感器测得的精准重量值精确到10 x克,x为整数,-3≤x≤0。
S3、货品摆放步骤,摆放至少一货品于至少一托盘内,每次仅摆放一个货品。同一托盘上不同货品的种类可以相同,也可以不同。在摆放货品时,工作人员依次摆放每一货品,每次摆放一件,以便电子设备采集每一货品的精准重量值,即微重量参数。
本实施例中,工作人员在摆放货品前,在电子设备(计算机)中设置每一托盘上应当摆放的货品种类,同时录入每一种货品的若干项货品信息,如货品标准重量值、货品种类、货品产地及货品价格等。
如果某些托盘没有被设置货品种类,可以通过扫码方式补充设置。例如,在每一货品的外包装上设有条形码或二维码,记录有该货品的若干项货品信息。当工作人员需要将货品摆放至一个没有被设置货品种类的托盘上时,在摆放货品前,先用扫码装置(如条形码读写器或二维码读写器)扫描一货品的条形码或二维码,获取并传送该货品的货品信息至所述电子设备(计算机)货品数据库。扫码后,工作人员依次摆放同一种类的货品至某一托盘,电子设备获取发生重量变化的托盘的编号,设置该托盘上应当摆放的货品种类即为前一时刻扫码记录下来的货品种类。
S4、货品数据库构建步骤,构建货品数据库,在所述货品数据库中存储有至少一货品的货品信息;所述货品信息包括每一种类货品的货品种类、货品价格及标准重量值。进一步地,所述货品信息还包括货品编号,与每一个货品一一对应,便于计算机查找货品。可选择 地,在该货品数据库中还记录有每一托盘的托盘编号m,每一托盘在空置状态下的精准重量值Pm0,每一个货品的精准重量值,每一个货品的摆放位置等。所述精准重量值精确到10 x克,x为整数,-3≤x≤0;同一种类的货品具有相同的标准重量值,但由于个体差异,同一种类的不同货品具有不同的精准重量值。
货品数据库构建步骤S4与货品摆放步骤S3同步进行,在货品摆放的同时采集一次该货品的精准重量值;货品摆放过程中,每摆放一件货品,货架的微重量传感器获取该托盘的实时重量变化值,传送至所述电子设备(计算机),电子设备会实时获取一个重量感应变化值,并将其记录为该货品的精准重量值,存储在货品数据库中,计算机根据货架发生重量变动的次数可以记录每一货品的编号,每变动一次,计数器加一,根据发生重量变动的托盘编号可以获取每一货品被摆放的托盘位置。
即使在一个货架上的同一个托盘内放置多种不同种类的货品,计算机也可准确识别出被拿取或被放回的货品的货品编号,从而不会出现因错拿错放货品导致其购物记录出错的问题,并且即使上一位用户出现错拿错放货品的现象,也不会影响到下一位用户的正常购物结算,从根本上解决了用户在购物中因错拿错放货品导致其购物记录出错的问题。
具体的,如图5所示,所述货品数据库构建步骤S4,具体包括如下步骤S41-S46。S41、货品数据库初始化步骤,初始化货品数据库,录入货架编号、托盘编号及每一托盘的精准重量值;同时,可以在货品数据库中预先设置每一货架的每一托盘上摆放货品的种类。在初始状态下,所述货品数据库中每一托盘的精准重量值为该托盘在无货品状态下的精准重量感应值。S42、货品种类录入步骤,每一货品外部二维码或条形码上存储有货品信息,每个货品被摆放在货架前都要先被扫一次码,通过扫码的方式录入每一货品的货品信息至所述货品数据库,所述货品信息包括该货品的货品种类、该种类货品的标准重量值以及货品价格,也可以包括货品编号。S43、托盘变化值第一采集步骤,一货品被摆放至一货架的一托盘上之后,实时采集每一托盘的实时精准重量变化值Qmi。m为托盘编号,i为货品摆放过程中每一所述托盘的重量变化次数,可以根据重量变化次数i计算被摆放货品的编号。S44、托盘变化 值第一判断步骤,判断所有托盘的精准重量变化值Qmi是否全部为0;若是,返回货品种类录入步骤S42;若否,执行下一步骤。S45、货品重量记录步骤,当一托盘的精准重量变化值Qmi为非零数值时,计算该精准重量变化值Qmi与该种类货品的标准重量值A的差值(Qmi-A);当该差值的绝对值|Qmi-A|与该种类货品的标准重量值A的比值小于一预设阈值(优选3%-5%)时,在所述货品数据库中记录该托盘的精准重量变化值Qmi为该货品的精准重量值;S42中所述货品信息还包括每一货品的精准重量值Qmi。所述预设阈值为该种类货品的标准重量值A的某一偏差比例,如A的3%-5%,其为人工设置方式,可根据实际情况变更数值,防止非该种类货品录入错误,防止该种类货品出现严重的质量问题。S46、货品数据库第一更新步骤,录入该托盘的实时精准重量感应值至所述货品数据库,以替换所述货品数据库中该托盘的精准重量值;返回所述货品种类录入步骤S42。
在货品数据库构建步骤S4中,能够准确的将每一货品的货品信息录入至所述货品数据库中,尤其是能够实现每一货品的精准重量值Qmi对应一个货品编号,一个货品编号对应一个货品价格,通过根据货架的托盘的精准重量变化值与所述货品数据库中货品的精准重量值Qmi对比,便可识别出被拿取或被放回的货品对应的货品编号,这种方式完全依靠每一货品的精准重量值(微重量参数)来识别货品,与货品的摆放位置无关,从而不会出现因错拿错放货品导致其购物记录出错及购物结算出错的问题,从根本上解决了用户在购物中因错拿错放货品导致其购物记录出错的问题。
在步骤S46中,货品数据库中托盘的精准重量值数据被更新之后,返回所述货品种类录入步骤S42,每摆放一件货品,重复执行一次步骤S42-S46。这种录入方式可以准确的对应每一货品编号录入一个货品的精准重量值。
在另一改进实施例中,工作人员在摆放每一种类货品前,先用扫码装置扫描一货品的条形码或二维码,获取并传送该种类货品的货品信息至所述电子设备(计算机),存储在货品数据库中。之后,工作人员依次摆放该种类的多个货品,货架实时获取每一货品的精准重量值,存储在货品数据库中。
步骤S42中,录入一种货品的货品信息至所述货品数据库,所述货品信息包括货品种类、该种类货品的标准重量值以及货品价格,但不包括该货品的货品编号。在步骤S43中,该种类的多个货品被依次摆放至一货架的一托盘上,由货架根据托盘重量值每一次变动情况记录每一货品的货品编号及精准重量值,同种类货品的其他货品信息皆相同。这种录入方式可以通过货品种类进行依次录入同一种类货品的每一精准重量值,提高了录入货品的精准重量值的效率,并且同一种类货品的货品价格相同,不会出现结算出错的问题,同时通过由货架根据托盘重量值变动情况记录每一货品的货品编号,可省去人工登记货品编号的步骤,进一步提高了录入货品信息的效率。
如图6所示,本实施例中,所述托盘变化值第一采集步骤S43,具体包括如下步骤S431-S432。S431、托盘重量第一采集步骤,在一货品被摆放至一货架的一托盘上之后,采集每一托盘的实时精准重量感应值Pmi,m为托盘编号,i为货品摆放过程中每一所述托盘的重量变动次数。S432、托盘重量差第一计算步骤,计算该货架上的每一托盘的精准重量变化值Qmi,其为每一托盘的实时精准重量感应值与所述货品数据库中该托盘的精准重量值的差值,即Qmi=Pmi-Pm(i-1)。由于每一托盘在空置状态下的精准重量值Pm0(m为托盘编号)是货品数据库中已知的,根据递归法,可以计算出每一货品的精准重量值。
由于每一种货品的价格相同,因此在执行步骤S431-S432时,可首先获取新增货品的种类,再基于新增货品的种类连续获取多个新增货品的每一精准重量值的差值Qmi作为每一新增货品的精准重量值录入所述货品数据库,即可快速录入新增货品的精准重量值信息,也不会影响货品价格的结算。
在另一实施例中,所述货品数据库构建步骤S4还可以为人工录入方式,工作人员利用高精度电子秤,依次测量并记录每一货品的精准重量值;同时可以人工录入货品信息,如货品编号、货品种类及货品价格等;还可以录入摆放每一货品的货架编号及托盘编号。
托盘变化值第一采集步骤S43、托盘变化值第二采集步骤S5,实时采集一货架上的每一托盘的精准重量变化值。
如图7所示,本实施例中,所述托盘变化值第二采集步骤S5,具体包括如下步骤S51-S52。S51、托盘重量第二采集步骤,实时采集一货架上的每一托盘的实时精准重量感应值。S52、托盘重量差第二计算步骤,实时计算每一托盘的精准重量变化值Qni,其为每一托盘的实时精准重量感应值与所述货品数据库中该托盘的精准重量值的差值,Qni=Pni-Pn(i-1)。其中,实时精准重量感应值Pni,n为托盘编号,i为货品摆放过程中每一所述托盘的重量变动次数。这样可以依次获取每一托盘的精准重量变化值Qni,通过将与通过根据货架的托盘的精准重量变化值Qni与所述货品数据库中货品的精准重量值Qmi对比,便可识别出被拿取或被放回的货品的货品编号,这种方式完全依靠每一货品的精准重量值(微重量参数)来识别货品,与货品的摆放位置无关,从而不会出现因错拿错放货品导致其购物记录出错及购物结算出错的问题,从根本上解决了用户在购物中因错拿错放货品导致其购物记录出错的问题。若托盘及货品的重力在极短时间内发生快速变化时,重量传感器的感应数据也会快速发生变化,无法采集到准确的重量值,只有在稳定状态下,重量传感器才能采集到准确的重量感应值。在步骤S51中,当一托盘的重量感应值发生变化时,判断重量传感器是否能采集到准确的、稳定的感应数据,若是,执行步骤S52;若否,判断该托盘为异常状态,也可以称之为不稳定异常状态;其原因有可能是用户身体或随身物品倚靠在货架上,有可能是用户将货品在托盘上拖动或按压,也有可能是有昆虫在托盘上爬动,等等。这些情况可以认为是托盘状态发生异常,发出报警信号,等待一定时间(一预设时间段,如1~3秒)后,若异常状态消除,重新执行步骤S51。其中,报警信号可以是蜂鸣器的声音、显示屏上异常提醒或异常信息记录,用以提醒管理人员或用户。
S6、托盘变化值第二判断步骤,判断所有托盘的精准重量变化值Qni是否全部为0;若是,返回所述托盘变化值第二采集步骤S5;若否,执行下一步骤。一托盘的精准重量变化值即为该托盘上被取走或被放回的货品的精准重量值,若所有托盘的精准重量变化值全部为0,说明没有任何货品被取走或被放回,返回步骤S5,准备下一次采集;若某一托盘的精准重量变化值为非零数值,可以判断是发生货品或异物被取走或被放回的情况,其中异物是 指不属于该便利店原有货品的物品。S7、取放状态判断步骤,判断该托盘的精准重量变化值Qni是否小于0,若是,判断有货品从该托盘被取走,若否,判断有货品或物品被放回至该托盘。
S8、货品判断步骤,当一托盘的精准重量变化值Qni为非零数值时,根据该精准重量变化值识别是否有货品被取走或被放回,获取该货品对应的货品编号。判断该托盘的精准重量变化值是否小于0;若是,判定有货品被从该托盘取走;若否,判定有物品或货品被放回至该托盘。
在步骤S8中,判断该精准重量变化值的绝对值|Qni|是否与所述货品数据库中一货品的精准重量值相同;若是,判断该货品即为被取走或被放回的货品,获取其货品编号。若否,说明有用户将不属于便利店的某一物品或者放置在托盘上,可以判断该托盘为异常状态,可以称之为稳定异常状态;可选择地发出前述的报警信号,提醒用户或便利店管理者消除异常,返回所述托盘变化值第二采集步骤S5。
本实施例中,所述货品数据库包括每一货品所处托盘的托盘编号;同一托盘上被放置同一种类的货品。所述货品判断步骤S8包括如下两种情况:当一托盘的精准重量值为负值时,根据其托盘编号从所述货品数据库中调用该托盘上每一货品的精准重量值;判断该精准重量变化值的绝对值与该托盘上一货品的精准重量值是否相等,若是,判定该货品为被取走的货品,获取该货品的货品编号。当一托盘的精准重量值大于零时,判断放回该货品的用户的身份;调用放回该货品的用户的购物数据库;判断该精准重量变化值的绝对值是否与该用户的购物数据库中一货品的精准重量值相同;若是,判定该货品为被放回的货品,获取该货品的货品编号。
S9、货品数据库第二更新步骤,存储该托盘的实时精准重量感应值至所述货品数据库,以替换所述货品数据库中该托盘的精准重量值,返回所述托盘变化值第二采集步骤S5,准备监控每一货架下一次的货品变动情况。如果一托盘的重量感应值发生不稳定变化,货品数据库中该托盘的实时精准重量感应值无需更新;如果一托盘的重量感应值发生稳定变化,无 论其变化值是否对应货品数据库中的某一货品,无论被取走或被放回的物品是否为该便利店的原有货品,货品数据库中存储的相应托盘的精准重量感应值都需要被实时更新。
本实施例的异常状态是指托盘的实时重量感应值发生意外变化的情况,包括不稳定异常状态和稳定异常状态。不稳定异常状态下,重量传感器无法获取稳定的实时重量感应值,其形成原因可能是有人刻意在某货品上施加向上的力、有人将货品在托盘上拖动、有人倚靠或按压托盘、有昆虫在托盘上停留或爬动等。不稳定异常状态维持时间比较短,因此,可以在等待一段时间后,等异常状态消除后,重新采集重量感应值。稳定异常状态下,重量传感器可以获取稳定的实时重量感应值,但此时托盘重量变化的差值与货品数据库中的任一商品都不能形成匹配,电子设备无法确认该货品的身份,并将该货品从用户的购物数据库删除。稳定异常状态的形成原因可能是用户将不属于便利店的某一物品放置在托盘上,或者将吃过一部分的食品重新放回托盘。稳定异常状态维持时间比较长,这种情况下,托盘的实时重量感应值可以被存储至货品数据库,以替换所述货品数据库中该托盘的精准重量值。无论异常状态是否消除,当该托盘的其他货品被用户取放时,电子设备依然可以记录正确的购物行为,不会影响到其他用户的体验。
如图4所示,本实施例中,所述货品识别方法还包括如下步骤S21-S24。
S21、用户身份识别步骤,识别每一用户的身份信息。在一封闭空间1内设置前文所述的货架及托盘,将封闭空间打造成无人便利店。在封闭空间1的出入口处设置闸机,闸机上设置身份识别装置,本实施例优选二维码读写装置,读取用户手机APP中的身份二维码,识别出用户身份。用户可以在手机APP中绑定电子支付账号,并授权给便利店经营者,允许经营者扣款。
S22、购物数据库生成步骤,根据所述用户的身份信息生成该用户的购物数据库。所述购物数据库为对应每一用户的购物信息,包括用户的身份信息以及被该用户取走的货品对应的货品信息,包括被取走货品的种类、数量及价格,以便于便利店经营者计算用户需要支付的金额,以便为客户结算。
S23、购物用户判断步骤,当有货品被取走或被放回时,判断取走或放回该货品的用户的身份。无人便利店的封闭空间内设有大量三维摄像头,从用户在入口扫码时开始实时监控每一用户在便利店中的位置,获取每一用户的实时三维坐标集。当一托盘重量发生变动且同时用户的手部与货架发生互动时,判定是该用户取走或放回了货品。用户的手部与货架发生互动是指,计算机判断出有一用户手部坐标与重量变动的托盘坐标重合,或者,判断出有一用户手部在重量变动的托盘附近出现,等等。
S24、购物数据库更新步骤,在每次货品判断步骤S8之后,实时更新相应用户的购物数据库。当有货品被取走时,根据所述货品编号从所述货品数据库中调用该货品的货品信息,将该货品的货品信息记录在取走该货品的用户购物数据库中;所述货品信息包括货品种类、该种类货品的标准重量值以及货品价格等;当有货品被放回至货架时,从放回该货品的用户的购物数据库中删除该货品的货品信息。购物数据库更新步骤根据每一用户的实时购物行为,实时更新每一用户的购物记录,使得每一用户的实际购物情况与其电子购物车中的购物记录完全一致,以便用户结算。
如果便利店规模比较大,货品较多,整个便利店中有可能出现精准重量值完全相同的两个货品的概率也会比较大,计算机识别出错率就会被提升。现有的重量传感器虽然可以采集到高精度的重量值,但是传感器的精度越高,其制造要求越高,其成本越高、价格越贵,而本发明中需要大量的重量传感器,会给无人便利店的经营者带来较大的成本压力。
上述实施例的理论依据在于,一家便利店的每一货品都具有唯一的精准重量值(微重量参数),计算机可以据此有效区分每一件货品。然而,一家便利店的数百件或数千件货品中,出现两个以上不同种类货品的精准重量值相同的情况,虽然是小概率事件,但理论上还是有可能发生,因此,上述实施例对重量传感器的精度要求较高,精准重量值精确到10 -2克或者10 -3克,以确保每一货品都具有唯一的精准重量值。由于整体解决方案需要使用大量的重量传感器,高精度传感器的硬件成本较高,会造成整个解决方案的成本过高,影响本专利的推广应用。
在另一改进实施例中,电子设备10可以先确定放回该货品的用户的身份,可以采用门禁处扫码识别用户身份的方案及三维相机实时监控用户位置的方案。当已知身份的某一用户的手部坐标集与一托盘上方坐标集重合,且同时该托盘的重量感应值发生变动,则可以判断取走或放回该货品的用户的身份。
在所述改进实施例中,在S8货品判断步骤中,当一托盘的精准重量变化值小于零时,电子设备(计算机)可以判断出有货品被取走;由于之前摆放在每一托盘上的货品种类是预存在货品数据库中的,电子设备(计算机)可以判断出该货品的种类。例如,一托盘上摆放同一种类、同一品牌、重量近似相同的货品;当该托盘重量变轻了,计算机就可以确定被取走的货品的种类;进一步地,根据精准重量变化值与货品数据库中预存的该托盘上每一货品的精准重量值的对比,判断并记录该货品的货品编号。进一步地,在购物用户判断步骤S23中判断出取走该货品的用户的身份,在购物数据库更新步骤S24中将该货品的货品信息记录在至取走该货品的用户的购物数据库中。
在所述改进实施例中,在S8货品判断步骤中,当一托盘的精准重量变化值大于零时,S8货品判断步骤依次包括取放状态判断步骤,购物用户判断步骤,购物数据库调用步骤以及物品判断步骤。电子设备(计算机)可以判断出有物品被放回,进而判断出放回该物品的用户的身份,调用放回该物品的用户的购物数据库,判断该精准重量变化值的绝对值是否与该用户的购物数据库中一货品的精准重量值相同;若是,判定该物品为被放回的货品,获取该货品的货品编号;若否,判定该物品并非是该用户之前从货架上取走的货品,并非本店货品,有可能是该用户的随身物品,如手套、手机等。无论被放置在货架托盘上的物品是否为本店货品,在步骤S8后都要执行货品数据库第二更新步骤S9,存储该托盘的实时精准重量感应值至所述货品数据库,以替换所述货品数据库中该托盘的精准重量值,返回所述托盘变化值第二采集步骤S5,准备监控每一货架下一次的货品变动情况。在确定放回该货品的用户身份和该货品的编号后,执行S24购物数据库更新步骤,从该用户的购物数据库中删除这一货品对应的货品信息。
在上述改进实施例中,一个用户在便利店的采购量一般仅为几个或十几个,最多不过几十个,这几十个货品分属于不同种类,其中刚好包括微重量值完全相同的两件货品的概率会小于千万分之一,完全可以忽略不计,因此每一货品的精准重量值只需要精确到1克或0.1克的精度即可。在这一方案中,可以利用精度较低、成本较低的重量传感器,有效节省运营和维护成本,进一步降低计算机出错的概率,提升识别精度。
用户在无人便利店内,其购物数据库可能被一次或多次更新,在至少一次的购物数据库更新步骤S24之后,还包括一结算步骤,根据一用户的购物数据库计算该用户需要支付的金额。当一用户完成购物,离开便利店时,该便利店内的多个摄像头拍摄不到该用户,电子设备(计算机)会认为该用户已经离场,根据该用户的购物数据库计算该用户的消费金额,由于用户之前在手机APP中绑定过电子支付账号并授权允许便利店经营者扣款,便利店经营者可以直接从该用户的电子支付账户中扣除相应款项。用户无需排队结算,完成购物可以直接离场,获得非常好的用户体验。
如图9所示,本实施例所述的电子设备10,包括至少一存储器11以及至少一处理器12。存储器11内设有一种存储介质,用于存储可执行程序代码。处理器12连接至存储器11,通过读取所述可执行程序代码,来运行与所述可执行程序代码对应的计算机程序,以执行所述货品识别方法中的步骤S4-S9,步骤S21-S24中的至少一个步骤。
本发明的有益效果在于,提供一种货品识别系统及货品识别方法、存储介质及电子设备,可以通过实时监测货架上的每一托盘的精准重量变化值,由货架上所有架板的精准重量变化推断出有哪一种货品被取走或被放回,可以判断被取走或被放回货品的货品编号,即使在一个货架上的同一个托盘内放置多种不同种类的货品,也可准确识别出被拿取或放回的货品的编号,从而对于用户的购物信息判断更加精准,不会出现因错拿错放货品导致其购物记录出错的问题,提升了用户体验,并且即使上一位用户出现错拿错放货品的现象,也不会影响到下一位用户的正常购物结算,从根本上解决了用户在购物中因错拿错放货品导致其购物记录出错的问题。
