All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments in the present application without making creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0050] Embodiment 1

[0051] A method for returning packaging disclosed in an embodiment of the present application, as Figure 1 shown, the method includes: Step 110 to Step 130.

[0052] Step 110, obtain delivery order information.

[0053] For the convenience of readers to understand the technical solutions disclosed in this application, in this embodiment, the method for returning packaging of this application is described in detail in combination with Figure 2 the process of returning packaging in the order processing system shown below. As Figure 2 shown, the order processing system includes: a first client 210, a second client 220, an after-sales system 230, an order management system 240, and a distribution system 250. Among them, the functions of each part are briefly described as follows.

[0054] The first client 210 is a client used by merchants (for example, the merchant-side client of a mall), which is used to provide an interaction interface for merchants to initiate the operation of returning packaging, and then generate an information code for identifying the returnable packaging according to the identification of the returnable packaging and merchant information fed back by the after-sales system 230. The first client 210 can also be used to receive the return packaging prompt information sent by the after-sales system 230.

[0055] The second client 220 is a client for delivery personnel (for example, the delivery personnel-side client of a mall or a client with a scanning function), which is used to obtain the return packaging information submitted by the merchant by scanning the information code, and after the delivery personnel confirm the return packaging information, apply to the after-sales system to generate a delivery order.

[0056] The after-sales system 230 is used to return the identification of the returnable packaging according to the return packaging application submitted by the merchant, and generate an after-sales document according to the application for generating a delivery order sent by the second client 220.

[0057] The order management system 240 is used to store merchant orders and return corresponding merchant information according to the order number sent by the after-sales system 230, such as information receiving channels (such as the phone number for receiving text messages, the WeChat ID for receiving WeChat, the client account for receiving client messages, etc.).

[0058] The distribution system 250 is used to send the information of the distribution order to the after-sales system according to the distribution status of the order, and, receive the after-sales document sent by the after-sales system 230, generate a delivery order according to the after-sales document, and send the delivery order to the second client 220. Among them, the distribution status of the order includes: starting distribution, waiting for distribution, distribution completed, etc.

[0059] In some embodiments of this application, after the order starts to be distributed, the distribution system 250 sends the order information of the start of distribution to the after-sales system 230, that is, the after-sales system 230 obtains the distribution order information through the distribution system 250. Among them, the distribution order information at least includes: the order number of the order starting distribution. The distribution order information may also include: the merchant information of the order, the order content (such as the product name, product quantity, etc.).

[0060] The after-sales system 230 can obtain the order information delivered by the delivery system 250 by registering a message push service with the delivery system 250, or by periodically obtaining information, or by other means. For example, the after-sales system 230 first registers a message push service in the delivery system 250. When the order status in the delivery system 250 changes to "start delivery", the delivery system 250 will send the order number of the order starting delivery to the after-sales system 230 through the message push service pre-registered by the after-sales system 230.

[0061] Step 120: Determine the recipient associated with the delivery order and the returnable packaging information of the recipient according to the delivery order information.

[0062] The after-sales system 230 obtains the recipient information associated with the delivery order information through the order management system 240 according to the received delivery order information. Among them, the recipient information includes: the recipient (such as the recipient identifier).

[0063] In some embodiments of the present application, the returnable packaging information is determined according to the historical order data of the recipient. The after-sales system 230 also obtains all the historical order data of the recipient stored in the after-sales system 230 or the historical order data within a specified time period according to the recipient of the received delivery order information, and determines the returnable packaging information of the recipient according to the obtained historical order data, such as the type and quantity of the packaging. In some embodiments of the present application, the returnable packaging information includes: data such as the name, quantity, and type identifier of the returnable packaging. For example, when the returnable packaging of merchant A includes: 6 egg baskets and 8 beer baskets, the returnable packaging information sent by the after-sales system to merchant A can be expressed as: "You have the following packaging that can be applied for on-site return: 1) 6 egg baskets; 2) 8 beer baskets"; or marked as: "You have the following returnable packaging: ID: 1, name: "egg basket", number: 6; ID: 2, name: "beer basket", number: 8".

[0064] In some embodiments of the present application, the after-sales system 230 will synchronously store order data. For example, after the order management system 240 completes operations such as generating, modifying, and deleting each order, it will synchronize the relevant order data to the after-sales system 230. Therefore, information such as order numbers and order contents will be stored in the after-sales system 230.

[0065] In some embodiments of the present application, the recipient information may further include: the information receiving channels of the recipient (such as the telephone number for receiving text messages, the WeChat ID for receiving WeChat messages, the client account for receiving client messages, etc.). The information receiving channels of the recipient can be pre-set in the order management system 240, or can be determined by the after-sales system 230 according to the recipient communication method in the delivery order information.

[0066] In some embodiments of the present application, the after-sales system 230 obtains the recipient information of the recipient of the delivery order information based on the delivery order information (such as the order identifier) through a preset interface opened by the order management system 240. Alternatively, the after-sales system 230 generates a recipient information acquisition request according to the delivery order information (such as the order identifier), and sends the recipient information acquisition request to the order management system 240 to obtain the recipient information associated with the delivery order information through the order management system 240.

[0067] Step 130, send a return packaging prompt message generated based on the returnable packaging information to the recipient.

[0068] After the after-sales system 230 obtains the returnable packaging information of the recipient, it generates a return packaging prompt message according to the returnable packaging information, which is used to prompt the recipient of the information of all returnable packages. Among them, the return packaging prompt message may only include all returnable packaging information, or may be a return packaging prompt message generated according to all returnable packaging information and the estimated delivery time of the delivery order.

[0069] Taking the information receiving channel as a text message as an example, after the after-sales system 230 receives the returnable packaging information, it generates a text message according to the types and quantities of the packages to be returned included in the returnable packaging information. Then, the after-sales system 230 sends the text message to the mobile phone number reserved in the order management system 240 for receiving text messages by the recipient.

[0070] In some embodiments of the present application, after the after-sales system 230 receives the returnable packaging information, it determines according to the types and quantities of the packages to be returned included in the returnable packaging information. Then, the after-sales system 230 sends the returnable packaging information to the first client of the recipient through the client account registered by the recipient in the after-sales system.

[0071] The method for returning packaging items disclosed in the embodiments of the present application obtains delivery order information, and determines the recipient associated with the delivery order and the information on returnable packaging items of the recipient according to the delivery order information; then, sends a return packaging item prompt message generated based on the information on returnable packaging items to the recipient, which helps improve the timeliness of returning packaging items and thus improve the utilization efficiency of packaging items. The method for returning packaging items disclosed in the embodiments of the present application opens up the information transmission channels of the merchant application (i.e., the first client), the driver application (the second client), the after-sales system, the order management system, and the delivery system, and starts the process of returning packaging items according to the delivery status of the merchant's positive order, and pushes a return packaging item prompt to the merchant at an appropriate time, which helps the merchant submit a return packaging item application in a timely manner, so as to return the packaging items in a timely manner, shorten the return cycle of the packaging items, and improve the utilization rate of the packaging items.

[0072] Embodiment 2

[0073] In this embodiment, in combination with Figure 2 the order processing system shown in Figure 3 the method for returning packaging items disclosed in the present application is further elaborated. As Figure 3 shown, the method includes: Step 301 to Step 312.

[0074] Step 301, the after-sales system obtains delivery order information.

[0075] Step 302, the after-sales system determines the recipient associated with the delivery order according to the delivery order information, as well as the information receiving channel and the information on returnable packaging items of the recipient.

[0076] Step 303, the after-sales system sends a return packaging item prompt message generated based on the information on returnable packaging items to the recipient.

[0077] Step 304, the first client sends a response message to the after-sales system for the return packaging item prompt message according to the trigger of the recipient.

[0078] In some embodiments of the present application, after sending a return packaging item prompt message generated based on the information on returnable packaging items to the recipient, it further includes: receiving a response message from the first client of the recipient for the return packaging item prompt message, and sending an identifier of the returnable packaging item to the first client, so that the first client generates an information code for the returnable packaging items of the recipient according to the identifier and displays the information code.

[0079] For example, after the forward order is delivered, Merchant A enters the return packaging operation interface of the first client by clicking on the received return packaging prompt information; or, Merchant A directly operates the first client (i.e., the merchant-side client of the mall) to enter the return packaging operation interface of the first client. The first client will display information such as the name and / or type identifier, quantity, etc. of the returnable packaging carried in the return packaging prompt information on the return packaging operation interface. After that, Merchant A triggers the "return in person" button set on the return packaging operation interface of the first client to initiate the return packaging operation. After detecting that the "return in person" button is triggered, the first client generates a response message based on the merchant identifier of Merchant A (i.e., the user identifier of the currently logged-in user of the first client), the name and / or type identifier, quantity, and merchant identifier, etc. of the returnable packaging displayed on the return packaging operation interface of the first client, and sends the generated response message to the after-sales system.

[0080] In some embodiments of the present application, the return packaging prompt information includes information on all returnable packaging of the consignee. The return packaging operation interface of the first client provides an entry for selecting the quantity of returnable packaging, and Merchant A can choose to return only part of the returnable packaging. Further, the response message is generated based on the selection operation of the consignee for the information on all returnable packaging, that is, the first client generates the response message according to the name and quantity of the returnable packaging selected by Merchant A, and the merchant identifier. Correspondingly, the identifier of the returnable packaging is the identifier of the returnable packaging selected by the selection operation.

[0081] Step 305: Receive the response message of the first client of the consignee for the return packaging prompt information, and send the identifier of the returnable packaging to the first client.

[0082] The after-sales system determines the returnable packaging information of the merchant based on the merchant identifier carried in the received response message, and returns the determined returnable packaging information to the first client. Among them, the returnable packaging information at least includes the identifier of the returnable packaging, so that the first client generates an information code for the returnable packaging of the consignee according to the identifier and displays the information code.

[0083] In some embodiments of the present application, after the after-sales system receives the response information from the first client for the return packaging prompt information, the after-sales system sends the identifier of the returnable packaging included in the response information to the first client according to the data included in the response information, such as the name and / or type identifier of the returnable packaging, the quantity, and the merchant identifier. For example, when the returnable packaging of merchant A includes 6 egg baskets and 8 beer baskets, if the merchant chooses to return 6 of the egg baskets, the response information will include the type identifier of the egg basket, the quantity "6", and the merchant identifier of merchant A. The after-sales system generates a unique identifier based on the merchant identifier of merchant A, the type identifier "1" of the egg basket, and the quantity "6" to identify the 6 egg baskets of merchant A. After that, the after-sales system returns the generated identifier to the client of merchant A.

[0084] Step 306: The first client generates an information code for the returnable packaging of the consignee according to the identifier and displays it.

[0085] The information code corresponds one-to-one with the identifier of the returnable packaging.

[0086] Then, the first client generates an information code for each identifier returned by the after-sales system, and each information code corresponds to a type of returnable packaging. For example, the first client generates a two-dimensional code for the first type of returnable packaging "6 egg baskets" based on the identifier of "6 egg baskets" returned by the after-sales system in the previous step, and generates a two-dimensional code for the second type of returnable packaging "2 beer baskets" according to the identifier returned by the after-sales system. Then, the first client displays the two generated two-dimensional codes.

[0087] Step 307: The second client scans the information code and sends a request for obtaining the information of the returnable packaging.

[0088] In some embodiments of the present application, after sending the identifier of the returnable packaging to the first client, it further includes: receiving the request for obtaining the information of the returnable packaging sent by the second client after scanning the information code, and sending the information of the returnable packaging to the second client for display; receiving the response information from the second client for the information of the returnable packaging, and generating after-sales data, which is used to generate a packaging pick-up note bound to the user of the second client. First, the delivery person scans the information code through the second client, and the second client parses the information code to obtain the identifier of the returnable packaging corresponding to the information code. After that, the second client uses the identifier of the returnable packaging as a parameter and sends a request message for obtaining the information of the returnable packaging matching the identifier to the after-sales system.

[0089] Step 308, the after-sales system receives the information for obtaining the returnable packaging information sent by the second client after scanning the information code, and sends the returnable packaging information to the second client for display.

[0090] In some embodiments of the present application, the returnable packaging information returned by the after-sales system to the second client includes the quantity and name of the returnable packaging.

[0091] After the after-sales system receives the request information for obtaining the returnable packaging information, it searches for the returnable packaging information corresponding to the identifier carried in the request information in the pre-stored order data. In some embodiments of the present application, the after-sales system assigns an identifier to each type of returnable packaging selected by each merchant, and stores the identifier, quantity, and name of the returnable packaging in an associated manner. When receiving the request information for obtaining the returnable packaging information sent by the second client (i.e., the client on the delivery staff side), according to the identifier carried in the request information, the type identifier, quantity, and name of the returnable packaging associated with the identifier can be determined. Then, the quantity and name of the returnable packaging associated with the identifier are returned.

[0092] Step 309, the second client displays the returnable packaging information.

[0093] After the second client receives the returnable packaging information returned by the after-sales system, it displays the returnable packaging information.

[0094] Step 310, the second client sends a response message to the after-sales system according to the selection operation on the returnable packaging information.

[0095] For example, after the delivery staff determines to pick up all the displayed returnable packaging, they click the "Confirm" button displayed on the second client to select and confirm the returnable packaging information. Then, the second client generates a response message according to the identifier, quantity, and other information of the returnable packaging information selected and confirmed by the delivery staff, and sends the response message to the after-sales system.

[0096] In some embodiments of the present application, the second client also provides an editing entry for the returnable packaging information, and the delivery staff can select which returnable packaging to pick up according to the capacity of the truck. After the delivery staff selects the returnable packaging information displayed on the second client, they click the "Confirm" button, generate a response message according to the selected returnable packaging information, and send the response message to the after-sales system.

[0097] The response message carries at least the type identifier and quantity of the returnable packaging.

[0098] Step 311: the after-sales system generates after-sales data according to the response information of the returnable packaging information.

[0099] The response information for the returnable packaging information is generated based on the selection operation of the returnable packaging information, and indicates the information of the packaging to be picked up. For example, after receiving the response information sent by the second client, the after-sales system determines the name of the packaging to be picked up, the merchant to which it belongs, the order and other information based on the type identifier of the returnable packaging carried in the response information, and then generates a piece of after-sales data based on the determined information and the number of returnable packaging carried in the response information, as well as the current system time and other information, and stores the after-sales data. At the same time, the after-sales system synchronizes the after-sales data to the distribution system.

[0100] Step 312: The distribution system generates a package pick-up order based on the after-sales data, and binds the package pick-up order to the user of the second client.

[0101] After receiving the after-sales data sent by the after-sales system, the distribution system generates a package pick-up order and binds the package pick-up order to the delivery personnel's account (i.e., the user account of the second client). After that, the distribution system sends the generated package pick-up order to the second client and displays it to the delivery personnel. The delivery personnel can take away the packaging of the historical order after delivering the goods to the consignee. This effectively avoids the situation in the prior art where after the merchant submits an application for return of packaging, the after-sales system notifies the distribution system that a pick-up order has been generated, but the delivery personnel cannot take away the packaging immediately, resulting in a backlog of pick-up orders.

[0102] In some embodiments of the present application, after the after-sales system generates after-sales data, it also includes: executing the deposit settlement corresponding to the pickup packaging material. After the after-sales system generates the after-sales data, the merchant corresponding to the merchant ID executes the corresponding pickup packaging material deposit settlement according to the packaging material type identification, quantity and merchant identification in the after-sales data, and the packaging material deposit pre-stored in the after-sales system. It can be seen that the packaging return method disclosed in the embodiment of the present application simplifies the settlement process of the packaging material deposit and improves the settlement efficiency of the packaging material deposit by opening up the information transmission channels of the merchant application end (i.e., the first client), the driver application end (the second client), the after-sales system, the order management system and the distribution system.

[0103] The packaging return method disclosed in the embodiment of the present application, the packaging return method disclosed in the embodiment of the present application, obtains the delivery order information, and determines the consignee associated with the delivery order and the returnable packaging information of the consignee according to the delivery order information; then, sends the consignee a packaging return reminder information generated based on the returnable packaging information, which helps to improve the timeliness of the packaging return, so as to improve the utilization efficiency of the packaging. The packaging return method disclosed in the embodiment of the present application, by opening up the information transmission channels of the merchant application end (i.e., the first client), the driver application end (the second client), the after-sales system, the order management system and the delivery system, and starts the packaging return process according to the delivery status of the merchant's forward order, pushes the packaging return reminder to the merchant at the right time, which helps the merchant to submit the packaging return application in time, and return the packaging in time, so as to improve the utilization rate of the packaging.
