Problems solved by technology

Because the vending machine cannot perceive the inventory in the machine, every time the operator replenishes the goods, he needs to manually adjust the inventory parameters on the vending machine. The steps are cumbersome and error-prone, which increases the workload of the operator and increases the operating cost. , using artificial intelligence technology to solve the problem of replenishment information entry is the starting point of this patent

Embodiment 1

[0026] Embodiment 1: as Figure 1-4 As shown in Fig. 1, an intelligent replenishment method for vending machines based on natural language processing, the operator scans the QR code on the vending machine to enter the replenishment page. The operator repeats the replenishment information through the handset microphone or headset to the replenishment page, which sends its information to the server. The voice information of the server performs natural language processing, and the analysis results are stored in the database of the corresponding vending machine number in the cloud as structured data on the one hand, and then sent to the replenishment page of the operator in the form of a chart for the operator to carry out Confirmation of replenishment information, the confirmed replenishment structured data is sent by the cloud server to the vending machine that has just been replenished through a wired or wireless network. After receiving the information, the vending machine upd...

Embodiment 2

[0036] Embodiment 2: as Figure 1-4 As shown, an intelligent replenishment method for vending machines based on natural language processing,

[0037] The operator's voice input is shown in Table 1.

[0038] Numbering

Speech input sample

Keywords extracted by speech processing

1

Put 3 bottles of Coke into the No. 1 cargo lane

3 bottles (quantity) Coke (cargo) No. 1 (cargo lane)

2

Put 2 bottles of Sprite into the No. 2 cargo lane

2 bottles (quantity) Sprite (cargo) No. 2 (cargo lane)

3

Put 1 bottle of Nongfu Spring in cargo lane 5

1 bottle (quantity) Nongfu Spring (cargo) No. 5 (cargo lane)

[0039] Step 1. The operator scans the QR code on the vending machine, where the QR code contains the unique identification of the vending machine and the replenishment page of the vending machine.

[0040] Step 2. After the operator is verified, enter the replenishment page, and enter three replenishment information by voice o...

Embodiment 3

[0046] Step 4. The server returns the parsed replenishment list to the operator's replenishment page, that is, [{No. 1 aisle, Coke, 3 bottles}, {No. 2 aisle, 2 Sprite, 2 bottles}, { No. 5 cargo lane, Nongfu Spring, 1 bottle}]. If the analyzed replenishment information is correct, the replenishment is confirmed, the server modifies the background database, updates the cloud virtual vending machine (that is, the cloud data structure corresponding to the actual vending machine), and finally sends the data of the vending machine to the terminal vending machine through the network for supply The vending machine modifies the terminal's local vending machine inventory data. . If the analysis of the replenishment information is wrong, go back to step 2, and the operator will input the replenishment information by voice again. Embodiment 3, operation staff replenishment process:

[0047] 1. The operation personnel complete the replenishment (put 20 bottles of Nongfu Spring in the 1st...

Abstract

The invention discloses a vending machine intelligent goods-replenishing method based on natural language processing. An operation worker scans a two-dimensional code on a vending machine, passes verification and enters a background H5 goods-replenishing page web end; the operation worker repeats goods-replenishing information to a goods-replenishing page through a mobile phone microphone or a headset, a server performs natural language processing on voice information for determination from the operation worker, on one hand, the goods-replenishing information is stored in a virtual vending machine at a cloud end, and on the other hand, the goods-replenishing information is sent to the goods-replenishing vending machine to update local inventory information and achieve language intelligentgoods replenishment. The goods-replenishing process is simplified, errors are avoided, and efficiency and technical performance are improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of commercial intelligent mechanical equipment, and in particular relates to an intelligent replenishment method for automatic vending machines based on natural language processing. Background technique [0002] With the development of big data and the Internet of Things, the vending machine industry has also developed rapidly. Its appearance is the product of the transition from a labor-intensive industrial structure to a technology-intensive society. Now, the vending machine industry is moving towards informatization and further rationalization. For example, the online mode is implemented, and the inventory information in the vending machine is transmitted to the computers of each business point in a timely manner through the telephone line, thereby ensuring the smooth progress of product delivery, replenishment and product selection. Moreover, in order to prevent global warming, the development of vendi...
