[0030] The digital human is used to interact with the user via voice or the touchpad to obtain the user's needs in real time.

[0031] The shelf also displays beverage companions, which can be placed on the same shelf as boxed or bottled beverages.

[0032] The trigger switch can be a pressure sensor or an infrared sensor. The trigger switch is connected to the control module of the smart shelf through hardware circuitry to transmit the picking signal to the control module.

[0033] Specifically, the interaction method based on the smart beverage shelf includes: S10, when the store-wide intelligent AI super sensing device detects that a target user has entered the sensing range, a start signal is sent to the display screen.

[0034] In this embodiment, the whole-store intelligent AI super sensing device is an intelligent sensing system for offline scenarios (such as convenience stores). Its core is to achieve accurate detection, behavior recognition and signal triggering of customers in a specific area through multi-sensor fusion and AI algorithms. It is the core sensing layer tool that connects customer actions and device linkage (such as video push).

[0035] For example, the store-wide intelligent AI super sensing device may include millimeter-wave radar, infrared or pressure-assisted sensors, visual sensors, etc.

[0036] In this embodiment, the sensing range may include a specific area centered on the smart beverage shelf.

[0037] In this embodiment, when a target user is detected to enter the sensing range, a start signal is sent to the display screen, which can trigger the initial conditions for video playback. By starting the display in advance, the smart freshly made iced beverage shelf attracts customers' attention and increases the exposure of the products.

[0038] S11, when the target user performs a beverage taking action based on the trigger switch, extract the target beverage information of the beverage being taken.

[0039] In this embodiment, the trigger switch may include a pressure sensor, an infrared sensor, etc., for accurately detecting whether a customer has taken a beverage from the corresponding shelf.

[0040] In this embodiment, extracting the target beverage information of the beverage being taken includes: The image acquisition device is used to identify the identification information of the beverage being taken as the target beverage information; and / or Obtain the shelf where the beverage to be taken is located, and determine the target beverage information based on the beverage configuration data on the shelf where the beverage to be taken is located.

[0041] The beverage configuration data is used to reflect the beverages displayed on each shelf.

[0042] The above embodiments can accurately capture customers' target beverages, providing a precise trigger for subsequent targeted video pushes and avoiding indiscriminate video playback.

[0043] S12, connect to the beverage making video database, and extract candidate beverage making videos from the beverage making video database based on the target beverage information.

[0044] In this embodiment, before connecting to the beverage making video database, the method further includes: Obtain the preparation video for each beverage; wherein, the preparation video includes voice narration, preparation action demonstration, and beverage pairing schemes with different beverage companions; Get beverage information for each type of drink; Establish the association between the beverage information of each beverage and the corresponding modulation video of each beverage; Based on the aforementioned association, the beverage information for each beverage and the corresponding preparation video for each beverage are stored in the beverage production video database; Each beverage's preparation video includes a flavor label; The beverage preparation video database is also used to store user preference data, which reflects the user and the preparation video adapted to each beverage based on the user's preferences.

[0045] The beverages mentioned may include boxed beverages, bottled beverages, and bottled beverages.

[0046] Among them, the pairing schemes of beverages with different beverage companions can include flavor characteristics, pairing ratios, etc.

[0047] Through the above embodiments, it is possible to accurately bind beverages with preparation videos, providing data support for rapid matching and push of subsequent videos, and laying the foundation for personalized recommendations for existing customers.

[0048] In this embodiment, the step of extracting candidate beverage preparation videos from the beverage preparation video database based on the target beverage information includes: Identify the identity information of the target user; When the target user's identity information shows that the target user is a new customer, the target beverage information is used to traverse the beverage making video database, and the modulated video that matches the target beverage information is used as the candidate beverage making video. When the target user's identity information shows that the target user is a regular customer, the modified video corresponding to the target beverage information and the target user's preference is obtained from the beverage preparation video database as the candidate beverage preparation video.

[0049] In the above embodiments, rapid matching of beverages and promotional videos can be achieved, ensuring that the video content is highly relevant to the products picked up by customers and improving the accuracy of information delivery. Simultaneously, targeted video retrieval based on the preferences of returning customers enables personalized video recommendations, reducing customer selection costs, improving response efficiency, and enhancing the continuity of the consumer experience.

[0050] In this embodiment, after extracting candidate beverage preparation videos from the beverage preparation video database based on the target beverage information, the method further includes: When there is only one candidate beverage preparation video, the candidate beverage preparation video is played directly on the display screen.

[0051] S13, when there are multiple candidate beverage preparation videos, a confirmation request for video display mode is initiated to the target user based on the digital human.

[0052] In this embodiment, the digital human can initiate a confirmation request for the video display mode to the target user via voice or touchpad.

[0053] S14, determine the target video display mode based on the feedback signal from the target user to the confirmation request, and play the candidate beverage preparation video on the display screen according to the target video display mode.

[0054] In this embodiment, the target video display mode may include a sequential playback mode and a jump playback mode.

[0055] The sequential playback mode refers to playing videos one by one in a certain order.

[0056] The jump playback mode refers to jumping to a different playback mode based on the user's selection.

[0057] Specifically, playing the candidate beverage preparation video on the display screen according to the target video display mode includes: When the target video display mode is a sequential playback mode, the complexity and liking of each candidate beverage making video are obtained; a first weight corresponding to the complexity and a second weight corresponding to the liking are obtained; a weighted calculation is performed based on the complexity and liking of each candidate beverage making video, the first weight, and the second weight to obtain a priority score for each candidate beverage making video; each candidate beverage making video is played sequentially according to the priority score from high to low; or When the target video display mode is the jump playback mode, the digital human is controlled to interact with the target user during each jump to select the video to be played in the current round from the candidate beverage making videos, and the video to be played is played on the display screen.

[0058] The first weight and the second weight can be configured according to the needs data in the actual scenario.

[0059] The step of controlling the digital human to interact with the target user during each round of navigation to select the video to be played in the current round from the candidate beverage making videos includes: The digital human can be controlled to ask the target user about their taste preferences via voice or the touch panel of the display screen; Based on the taste preferences reported by the target users, the flavor identifiers of each candidate beverage production video are iterated through; The candidate beverage preparation videos corresponding to the flavor identifiers that match the flavor preferences reported by the target users are selected as the videos to be played in the current round.

[0060] For example, digital shop assistants can proactively ask customers about their taste preferences via voice or touch panel, such as "Do you prefer sweet and sour or refreshing flavors?" After receiving customer feedback, the system can then filter the content based on user preferences to allow them to jump to a matching modulated video clip from the relevant long video resources.

[0061] In the above embodiments, the sequential playback mode can comprehensively showcase the various pairing possibilities of the beverage, helping new customers understand the product features and expanding their consumption choices. The jump playback mode, based on human-computer interaction, can accurately capture customers' immediate needs, enabling precise jumps in video content and improving customer engagement and satisfaction.

[0062] In this embodiment, the method further includes: Record the consumption behavior of the target users and update the beverage preparation video database based on the consumption behavior.

[0063] The consumption behavior may include, but is not limited to, the beverages taken by the target user, the selected pairings, and the videos watched.

[0064] In the above embodiments, the historical consumption data and preference mapping relationship of the customer are updated according to the consumption behavior of the target user, and the old customer preference database is improved. This enables dynamic iteration of customer preference data and ensures that the accuracy and efficiency of video recommendations continue to improve when the old customer makes another purchase.

[0065] In this embodiment, after a customer takes a beverage that can be combined with multiple flavors, if the customer does not consult a digital salesperson and is not identified as a returning customer, they can choose to package all the preparation videos corresponding to that beverage into a collection and play them continuously on the display screen. During the playback, the customer can switch the playback order of the videos via the touch screen, thereby providing a more flexible way to watch the videos to meet the viewing habits of different customers, while ensuring the complete transmission of information on multiple flavors.

[0066] In this embodiment, after detecting that the target user has taken a beverage, it also supports directly stating the specific flavor requirements or beverage companion name (such as "I want to pair it with lemon flavor companion") through the voice interaction function of the digital store clerk. The digital store clerk converts the voice command into text information and transmits it to the underlying control module, which then directly retrieves the corresponding modulated video for playback, thereby simplifying the customer interaction process, improving the efficiency of video retrieval, and enhancing the convenience of human-computer interaction.

[0067] As can be seen from the above technical solutions, this invention can be applied to intelligent beverage shelves. The main body of the intelligent shelf is integrated with the ice cup freezer, reducing the time consumers spend searching. When the store-wide intelligent AI super-sensing device detects a target user entering the sensing range, it sends a start signal to the display screen, reducing customer waiting time by activating the display screen in advance. It detects beverage picking actions based on trigger switches to accurately capture the beverage picked by the customer. Based on the target beverage information, it extracts candidate beverage preparation videos from the beverage preparation video database to achieve rapid matching between beverages and preparation videos. Based on the digital human, it initiates a confirmation request for the video display mode to the target user and plays the candidate beverage preparation video on the display screen according to the target video display mode. Thus, it accurately plays beverage preparation videos through human-computer interaction and enhances customer participation and satisfaction through vivid video demonstrations.
