Unmanned retail intelligent container based on RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) technology, and goods selling method thereof

Abstract

The invention discloses an unmanned retail intelligent container based on RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) technology, and a goods selling method thereof. The unmanned retail intelligent container comprises a container body and a mobile phone APP (Application) client side, wherein the container body comprises a container body, a container door, a container terminal control box, a plurality ofcontainer object containing trays and a plurality of RFID electronic tags used for being pasted to commodities; the container door is hinged to the front end of the container body; the top of the container body is provided with the container terminal control box; the plurality of container object containing trays are installed in the container body; the inner wall of the container door is provided with an electromagnetic wave shielding layer; an electromagnetic relay door lock is arranged between the container body and the container door; an RFID antenna and the electromagnetic relay door lock are both connected with the container terminal control box; and the container terminal control box and the mobile phone APP client side are both remotely connected to a data server. By use of the container, the stability of the unmanned retail container is greatly improved, disk reading accuracy is optimized, the compatible range of commodities available for sale is wide, commodity varieties arerich, the limitation of a traditional container that the traditional container only can be compatible with vertical commodities and standardized commodities can be overcome, and electromagnetic interference resistance performance is high.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of combining RFID technology and vending cabinets, in particular to an RFID technology-based unmanned retail intelligent cabinet and a vending method thereof. Background technique [0002] With the popularity of Internet e-commerce and mobile payment, customers will be diverted in large numbers and consumption will be dispersed. The trend of consumption fragmentation is irreversible. In the future, the immediate needs of consumers will be filled by a large number of unmanned retail terminals closest to users. The ultimate goal of unmanned retail is to help users save time and cost and improve user shopping experience through technical means. [0003] The technical background of unmanned retail vending machines at this stage is: [0004] (1) Slideway flow: adopt the traditional vending machine slideway technology, which is generally used in closed terminals such as vending machines; the advantages of this technology ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] (1) Slideway flow: adopt the traditional vending machine slideway technology, which is generally used in closed terminals such as vending machines; the advantages of this technology are mature technology, low failure rate, and low cost ; The disadvantage is that the shopping form is complicated, the product experience is poor, the product variety is not enough, and the stand-alone can only sell vertical categories

(2) RFID flow: By pasting RFID electronic tags on commodities, the system uses electromagnetic field induction to identify unique identification codes on each commodity; application modes include some smart retail containers, and various semi-closed unattended boxes. With the reduction of the manufacturing cost of RFID electronic tags in the past two years, it has begun to be applied in the unattended field; the advantage of this technology is that one code per object, and the technology is relatively mature; the disadvantage is that it is costly and susceptible to metal, magnetic field , bus card and chip impact with NFC class

(3) Visual recognition flow: Using image AI technology, the system identifies products by their appearance, color, and size, and realizes that the products can be picked up and taken away; the application modes include smart retail containers and various semi-closed unattended boxes; The advantage of this technology is that it has a high degree of intelligence, using AI technology to solve the relationship between goods and people, the interaction between people and goods is good, and the display of goods does not need to consider the location of the goods, nor does it need to be one code for each item like RFID; The disadvantage is that the development cycle is long, the learning cycle is long, the technology is not mature enough, and non-standard products cannot be identified

[0005] To sum up, the unmanned retail containers at this stage have limited product compatibility and can only sell products of vertical categories or uniform standards, and cannot be compatible with non-standard products

The existing unmanned retail containers based on RFID technology rely on a single technology, which makes the stability and accuracy of RFID disk reading unsatisfactory, and its anti-electromagnetic interference performance is poor

In addition, the existing various types of unmanned retail containers use complex processes and are not friendly enough for consumers
