Obviously, the drawings described below are only embodiments of the present application. For ordinary technicians in this field, other drawings can be obtained based on the provided drawings without paying any creative work.

[0022] Figure 1 This is a flow chart of the self-service vending method of this embodiment; DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a self-service vending method, which is applied to a vending house, wherein the vending house is provided with a shipping channel, and the method comprises:

[0025] S100: Acquire activity information of users entering the sales house.

[0026] The user activity information described above includes the actual situation of the user entering the sales room after the door is opened. The camera in the sales room records the user's path and actions in the area where he stays, so as to analyze the user's product purchasing preferences. When the user enters the sales room again, the display area of ​​the products can be adjusted.

[0027] S200: Obtain information about the user taking the goods and push a first prompt message to enable the user to place the goods inside the shipping channel.

[0028] The first prompt information includes prompting the user to place the product inside the shipping channel.

[0029] S300: Identify the commodity information located on the shipping channel.

[0030] The barcode and category of the product are identified through the set image recognition module.

[0031] S400: Generate first order information.

[0032] Among them, the first order information is generated by the settlement system of the sales house after the shipping channel identifies, partitions and weighs the goods, and the user can view the specific information through the goods settlement screen.

[0033] S500: Push the first order information and obtain confirmation from the user.

[0034] The user can check the specific settlement information of the product through the product settlement screen described above. If the information is correct, the user can confirm it and proceed to the next step of payment.

[0035] S600: Get payment information and open the door.

[0036] Users can scan the QR code that appears on the product calculation screen to pay. After successful payment, the door of the sales room will open automatically and the user can leave with the product.

[0037] In this embodiment, after the first order information is generated, the user can identify the commodities one by one and generate the second order information.

[0038] If the user believes that the first order information generated is incorrect, the user can identify the products individually through the self-service settlement platform. After all products are identified, the self-service settlement platform will generate the second order information, and the user will confirm the information.

[0039] In this embodiment, when the first order information and the second order information have different contents, the second prompt information is pushed so that the user can re-identify the commodities one by one and generate new second order information.

[0040] If the first order information and the second order information do not match, the sales office will send a second prompt message to the user, prompting the user to re-identify the goods through the self-service settlement platform and regenerate new second order information.

[0041] In this embodiment, the shipping channel sorts the commodities located inside it, measures them after image recognition, and calculates the commodity prices.

[0042] In this embodiment, an image recognition module, a commodity partitioning module and a metering module are provided inside the shipping channel. The image recognition module is used to identify commodities inside the shipping channel, the commodity partitioning module is used to divide the same type of commodities into the same area, and the metering module is used to measure the weight of the commodities and calculate the commodity prices.

[0043] After being trained with big data, the image recognition module has the ability to identify all the goods in the salesroom with a low error rate in identifying goods. After identifying the barcode of the goods, it can be synchronized to the goods settlement platform.

[0044] The commodity partitioning module may be an intelligent robotic arm, which divides the same commodities into the same area after the image recognition module identifies the commodities.

[0045] The metering module may be a meter, which is adjacent to the commodity partitioning module. The same area into which the commodities are divided is the metering area. The meter is arranged in the metering area to measure commodities of the same kind as much as possible.

[0046] In this embodiment, after the user pays, the commodity can be packaged by a packager of the sales house (not shown in the figure).

[0047] It can be understood that the packager described above is an automated device, which has many application cases in the prior art and in real life. It should be noted that the packager is arranged near the door, which helps users to place the goods therein for packaging after payment, making it convenient for users to carry.

[0048] A vending device provided according to an embodiment of the present application is applied to a vending house, wherein the vending house is provided with a shipping channel; an image recognition module, a commodity partitioning module and a metering module are provided inside the shipping channel, wherein the image recognition module is used to identify commodities inside the shipping channel, the commodity partitioning module is used to divide commodities of the same type into the same area, and the metering module is used to measure the weight of the commodities and calculate the commodity prices.
