Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of mobile communications, and in particular to a price tag storage power consumption control method, device and computer-readable storage medium. Background Art

[0002] In the prior art, with the continuous development of intelligent terminal devices, the technical application of intelligent terminal devices in the new retail field is becoming more and more popular. In particular, intelligent electronic price tags have been widely used in supermarkets, convenience stores, pharmacies, etc. to replace traditional paper price tags to achieve accurate display and rapid update of commodity prices, thereby improving retail operation efficiency and reducing operating costs. Among them, electronic price tags, also called electronic shelf labels (ESL), are electronic display devices with information receiving and sending functions, which are placed on shelves and can replace traditional paper price tags. In the prior art, electronic price tags generally include MCU, communication modules, display screens and batteries. The batteries are powered by button batteries, which have small capacity and cannot be charged like mobile phones and other terminals. Therefore, the battery life will be a place where price tags need special attention. Optimizing the power consumption of price tags in various working scenarios can not only reduce maintenance costs, but also improve the quality reputation of products.

[0003] However, for the purpose of reducing costs, there is generally no hardware method to shut down the price tag, so the price tag will always be in a predetermined mode of searching for the network, sleeping cycle, or even a cycle of constantly searching for the network, accessing the network, and disconnecting the network due to weak signals from certain base stations. These states will cause the price tag to consume unnecessary battery power while being stored in the warehouse. Therefore, the existing price tag storage and outbound management solutions cannot meet the power control requirements of the price tag. The storage or transportation environment of the price tag before it is put into use may have a significant impact on the actual power status of the price tag. Summary of the invention

[0004] In order to solve the above technical defects in the prior art, the present invention proposes a price tag storage power consumption control method, the method comprising:

[0005] The price tags placed in the storage area are connected through the storage base station.

[0006] The warehouse base station sends a deep sleep instruction to the price tag to make the price tag enter the deep sleep mode.

[0007] A sleep release instruction corresponding to the delivery task of the price tag is generated.

[0008] The warehouse base station sends the sleep release instruction to the price tag, so that the price tag releases the deep sleep mode.

[0009] Optionally, the step of connecting the price tags placed in the storage area through the storage base station includes:

[0010] When the price tag is assembled, the price tag is preset to be in a strong signal mode.

[0011] When the price tag is placed in the storage area, the price tag in the strong signal mode is connected via the storage base station.

[0012] Optionally, the sending of a deep sleep instruction by the warehouse base station to the price tag so that the price tag enters a deep sleep mode includes:

[0013] An initial first sleep time of the price tag is preset.

[0014] The deep sleep instruction is used to control the price tag to sleep according to the first sleep time.

[0015] Optionally, the generating a sleep release instruction corresponding to the delivery task of the price tag includes:

[0016] Get the shipping time and destination of the price tag.

[0017] The transportation time of the price tag is obtained according to the distance between the storage area and the destination.

[0018] Optionally, the generating of the sleep release instruction corresponding to the delivery task of the price tag further includes:

[0019] Get the customer information of the price tag.

[0020] The configuration time of the price tag after arriving at the destination is obtained according to the customer information.

[0021] Optionally, the generating of the sleep release instruction corresponding to the delivery task of the price tag further includes:

[0022] A second sleep time is preset corresponding to the shipping time, a third sleep time is preset corresponding to the transportation time, and a fourth sleep time is preset corresponding to the configuration time.

[0023] A sleep release instruction including the second sleep time, the third sleep time, and the fourth sleep time is generated.

[0024] Optionally, the sending of the sleep release instruction by the warehouse base station to the price tag so that the price tag releases the deep sleep mode includes:

[0025] At the moment of receiving the sleep release instruction, the strong signal mode is exited, and according to the sleep release instruction, the price tag is controlled to switch from the first sleep time to the second sleep time.

[0026] When the delivery time is reached, the price tag is controlled to switch from the second sleep time to the third sleep time according to the sleep release instruction.

[0027] Optionally, the sending of the sleep release instruction by the warehouse base station to the price tag so that the price tag releases the deep sleep mode further includes:

[0028] When the configured time is reached, the strong signal mode is re-entered.

[0029] According to the sleep release instruction, the price tag is controlled to switch from the third sleep time to the fourth sleep time.

[0030] The present invention also proposes a price tag storage power consumption control device, which includes a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and executable on the processor. When the computer program is executed by the processor, the steps of the price tag storage power consumption control method as described in any one of the above items are implemented.

[0031] The present invention also proposes a computer-readable storage medium, on which a price tag storage power consumption control program is stored. When the price tag storage power consumption control program is executed by a processor, the steps of the price tag storage power consumption control method as described in any of the above items are implemented.

[0032] The method, device and computer-readable storage medium for controlling the storage power consumption of price tags of the present invention are implemented by connecting the price tags placed in the storage area through a storage base station. Then, the storage base station sends a deep sleep instruction to the price tag to put the price tag into a deep sleep mode, generates a sleep release instruction corresponding to the delivery task of the price tag, and finally, the storage base station sends the sleep release instruction to the price tag to release the deep sleep mode. An efficient price tag storage power consumption control scheme is implemented, so that the price tag can adaptively modulate its own power consumption state according to the delivery task in the storage environment, so that the price tag can maintain a relatively good power state when it is delivered for use, thereby improving the productivity and user experience of the product.

[0045] In the subsequent description, the suffixes such as "module", "component" or "unit" used to represent elements are only used to facilitate the description of the present invention, and have no specific meanings. Therefore, "module", "component" or "unit" can be used in a mixed manner.

[0046] The terminal may be implemented in various forms. For example, the terminal described in the present invention may include mobile terminals such as mobile phones, tablet computers, laptop computers, PDAs, portable media players (PMPs), navigation devices, wearable devices, smart bracelets, pedometers, etc., as well as fixed terminals such as digital TVs and desktop computers.

[0047] The following description will be made by taking a mobile terminal as an example, and those skilled in the art will appreciate that, in addition to components specifically used for mobile purposes, the configuration according to the embodiments of the present invention can also be applied to fixed-type terminals.

[0048] See also Figure 1, which is a schematic diagram of the hardware structure of a mobile terminal for implementing various embodiments of the present invention, the mobile terminal 100 may include: RF (Radio Frequency, radio frequency) unit 101, WiFi module 102, audio output unit 103, A / V (audio / video) input unit 104, sensor 105, display unit 106, user input unit 107, interface unit 108, memory 109, processor 110, and power supply 111 and other components. Those skilled in the art can understand that Figure 1 The structure of the mobile terminal shown in the figure does not constitute a limitation on the mobile terminal. The mobile terminal may include more or fewer components than shown in the figure, or combine certain components, or arrange the components differently.

[0049] Combine the following Figure 1 The following is a detailed introduction to the various components of the mobile terminal:

[0050] The radio frequency unit 101 can be used for receiving and sending signals during information transmission or communication. Specifically, after receiving the downlink information of the base station, it is sent to the processor 110 for processing; in addition, the uplink data is sent to the base station. Generally, the radio frequency unit 101 includes but is not limited to an antenna, at least one amplifier, a transceiver, a coupler, a low noise amplifier, a duplexer, etc. In addition, the radio frequency unit 101 can also communicate with the network and other devices through wireless communication. The above-mentioned wireless communication can use any communication standard or protocol, including but not limited to GSM (Global System of Mobile communication), GPRS (General Packet Radio Service), CDMA2000 (Code Division Multiple Access 2000), WCDMA (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access), TD-SCDMA (Time Division-Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access), FDD-LTE (Frequency Division Duplexing-Long Term Evolution) and TDD-LTE (Time Division Duplexing-Long Term Evolution), etc.

[0051] WiFi is a short-range wireless transmission technology. Mobile terminals can help users send and receive emails, browse web pages, and access streaming media through WiFi module 102. It provides users with wireless broadband Internet access. Figure 1 The WiFi module 102 is shown, but it is understandable that it is not an essential component of the mobile terminal and can be omitted as required without changing the essence of the invention.

[0052] The audio output unit 103 can convert the audio data received by the RF unit 101 or the WiFi module 102 or stored in the memory 109 into an audio signal and output it as sound when the mobile terminal 100 is in a call signal reception mode, a talk mode, a recording mode, a voice recognition mode, a broadcast reception mode, etc. Moreover, the audio output unit 103 can also provide audio output related to a specific function performed by the mobile terminal 100 (for example, a call signal reception sound, a message reception sound, etc.). The audio output unit 103 may include a speaker, a buzzer, etc.

[0053] The A / V input unit 104 is used to receive audio or video signals. The A / V input unit 104 may include a graphics processor (GPU) 1041 and a microphone 1042, and the graphics processor 1041 processes the image data of a static picture or video obtained by an image capture device (such as a camera) in a video capture mode or an image capture mode. The processed image frame can be displayed on the display unit 106. The image frame processed by the graphics processor 1041 can be stored in the memory 109 (or other storage medium) or sent via the radio frequency unit 101 or the WiFi module 102. The microphone 1042 can receive sound (audio data) via the microphone 1042 in a telephone call mode, a recording mode, a voice recognition mode, and other operating modes, and can process such sound into audio data. The processed audio (voice) data can be converted into a format output that can be sent to a mobile communication base station via the radio frequency unit 101 in the case of a telephone call mode. The microphone 1042 can implement various types of noise elimination (or suppression) algorithms to eliminate (or suppress) noise or interference generated in the process of receiving and sending audio signals.

[0054] The mobile terminal 100 also includes at least one sensor 105, such as a light sensor, a motion sensor, and other sensors. Specifically, the light sensor includes an ambient light sensor and a proximity sensor, wherein the ambient light sensor can adjust the brightness of the display panel 1061 according to the brightness of the ambient light, and the proximity sensor can turn off the display panel 1061 and / or the backlight when the mobile terminal 100 is moved to the ear. As a type of motion sensor, the accelerometer sensor can detect the magnitude of acceleration in all directions (generally three axes), and can detect the magnitude and direction of gravity when stationary. It can be used for applications that identify the posture of the mobile phone (such as horizontal and vertical screen switching, related games, magnetometer posture calibration), vibration recognition related functions (such as pedometer, tapping), etc.; as for other sensors that can also be configured on the mobile phone, such as fingerprint sensors, pressure sensors, iris sensors, molecular sensors, gyroscopes, barometers, hygrometers, thermometers, infrared sensors, etc., they will not be repeated here.

[0055] The display unit 106 is used to display information input by the user or information provided to the user. The display unit 106 may include a display panel 1061, which may be configured in the form of a liquid crystal display (LCD), an organic light-emitting diode (OLED), or the like.

[0056] The user input unit 107 can be used to receive input digital or character information, and to generate key signal input related to the user settings and function control of the mobile terminal. Specifically, the user input unit 107 may include a touch panel 1071 and other input devices 1072. The touch panel 1071, also known as a touch screen, can collect the user's touch operation on or near it (such as the user's operation on the touch panel 1071 or near the touch panel 1071 using any suitable object or accessory such as a finger, stylus, etc.), and drive the corresponding connection device according to a pre-set program. The touch panel 1071 may include two parts: a touch detection device and a touch controller. Among them, the touch detection device detects the user's touch orientation, detects the signal brought by the touch operation, and transmits the signal to the touch controller; the touch controller receives the touch information from the touch detection device, converts it into the touch point coordinates, and then sends it to the processor 110, and can receive and execute the command sent by the processor 110. In addition, the touch panel 1071 can be implemented in various types such as resistive, capacitive, infrared, and surface acoustic waves. In addition to the touch panel 1071, the user input unit 107 may also include other input devices 1072. Specifically, the other input devices 1072 may include, but are not limited to, one or more of a physical keyboard, a function key (such as a volume control key, a switch key, etc.), a trackball, a mouse, a joystick, etc., which are not specifically limited here.

[0057] Furthermore, the touch panel 1071 may cover the display panel 1061. When the touch panel 1071 detects a touch operation on or near it, it transmits the information to the processor 110 to determine the type of the touch event. Then, the processor 110 provides a corresponding visual output on the display panel 1061 according to the type of the touch event. Figure 1 In the figure, the touch panel 1071 and the display panel 1061 are used as two independent components to implement the input and output functions of the mobile terminal. However, in some embodiments, the touch panel 1071 and the display panel 1061 can be integrated to implement the input and output functions of the mobile terminal, which is not limited here.

[0058] The interface unit 108 serves as an interface through which at least one external device can be connected to the mobile terminal 100. For example, the external device may include a wired or wireless headset port, an external power supply (or battery charger) port, a wired or wireless data port, a memory card port, a port for connecting a device with an identification module, an audio input / output (I / O) port, a video I / O port, a headphone port, etc. The interface unit 108 may be used to receive input (e.g., data information, power, etc.) from an external device and transmit the received input to one or more elements within the mobile terminal 100 or may be used to transmit data between the mobile terminal 100 and an external device.

[0059] The memory 109 can be used to store software programs and various data. The memory 109 can mainly include a program storage area and a data storage area, wherein the program storage area can store an operating system, an application required for at least one function (such as a sound playback function, an image playback function, etc.), etc.; the data storage area can store data created according to the use of the mobile phone (such as audio data, a phone book, etc.), etc. In addition, the memory 109 can include a high-speed random access memory, and can also include a non-volatile memory, such as at least one disk storage device, a flash memory device, or other volatile solid-state storage devices.

[0060] The processor 110 is the control center of the mobile terminal. It uses various interfaces and lines to connect various parts of the entire mobile terminal. It executes various functions of the mobile terminal and processes data by running or executing software programs and / or modules stored in the memory 109, and calling data stored in the memory 109, so as to monitor the mobile terminal as a whole. The processor 110 may include one or more processing units; preferably, the processor 110 may integrate an application processor and a modem processor, wherein the application processor mainly processes the operating system, user interface, and application programs, etc., and the modem processor mainly processes wireless communications. It is understandable that the above-mentioned modem processor may not be integrated into the processor 110.

[0061] The mobile terminal 100 may also include a power supply 111 (such as a battery) for supplying power to various components. Preferably, the power supply 111 may be logically connected to the processor 110 via a power management system, thereby implementing functions such as charging, discharging, and power consumption management through the power management system.

[0062] although Figure 1 Not shown, the mobile terminal 100 may further include a Bluetooth module, etc., which will not be described in detail here.

[0063] To facilitate understanding of the embodiments of the present invention, the communication network system on which the mobile terminal of the present invention is based is described below.

[0064] See also Figure 2 , Figure 2 A communication network system architecture diagram is provided for an embodiment of the present invention. The communication network system is an LTE system of universal mobile communication technology. The LTE system includes a UE (User Equipment) 201, an E-UTRAN (Evolved UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access Network) 202, an EPC (Evolved Packet Core) 203 and an operator's IP service 204, which are connected in sequence.

[0065] Specifically, UE201 may be the above-mentioned terminal 100, which will not be described in detail here.

[0066] E-UTRAN 202 includes eNodeB 2021 and other eNodeBs 2022 , etc. Among them, eNodeB 2021 can be connected to other eNodeBs 2022 through a backhaul (eg, an X2 interface), and eNodeB 2021 is connected to EPC 203 , and eNodeB 2021 can provide UE 201 with access to EPC 203 .

[0067] EPC203 may include MME (Mobility Management Entity) 2031, HSS (Home Subscriber Server) 2032, other MMEs 2033, SGW (Serving Gate Way) 2034, PGW (PDN Gate Way) 2035 and PCRF (Policy and Charging Rules Function) 2036, etc. Among them, MME2031 is a control node that processes signaling between UE201 and EPC203, and provides bearer and connection management. HSS2032 is used to provide some registers to manage functions such as home location register (not shown in the figure), and save some user-specific information such as service features and data rates. All user data can be sent through SGW2034, PGW2035 can provide IP address allocation and other functions for UE 201, PCRF2036 is the policy and charging control policy decision point for service data flow and IP bearer resources, which selects and provides available policy and charging control decisions for the policy and charging execution function unit (not shown in the figure).

[0068] The IP service 204 may include the Internet, an intranet, an IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem) or other IP services.

[0069] Although the above introduction takes the LTE system as an example, those skilled in the art should know that the present invention is not only applicable to the LTE system, but also to other wireless communication systems, such as GSM, CDMA2000, WCDMA, TD-SCDMA and future new network systems, etc., which are not limited here.

[0070] Based on the above mobile terminal hardware structure and communication network system, various embodiments of the method of the present invention are proposed.

[0071] Embodiment 1

[0072] Figure 3 1 is a flow chart of a first embodiment of a method for controlling power consumption of price tag storage according to the present invention. A method for controlling power consumption of price tag storage, the method comprising:

[0073] S1. Connect the price tags placed in the storage area through the storage base station.

[0074] S2. The warehouse base station sends a deep sleep instruction to the price tag to make the price tag enter a deep sleep mode.

[0075] S3. Generate a sleep release instruction corresponding to the delivery task of the price tag.

[0076] S4. The warehouse base station sends the sleep release instruction to the price tag to release the price tag from the deep sleep mode.

[0077] Optionally, in this embodiment, a storage base station is built in the storage area for managing and controlling the price tags stored in the area, and the price tags placed in the storage area are connected through the storage base station.

[0078] Optionally, in this embodiment, when the price tags are assembled on the production line and transported to the storage area, the communication connection with the storage base station is started.

[0079] Optionally, in this embodiment, after the price tag completes the communication connection with the warehouse base station, it receives a deep sleep instruction sent by the warehouse base station to the price tag to make the price tag enter a deep sleep mode, wherein the deep sleep instruction is generated by a server connected to the warehouse base station and transmitted to the warehouse base station.

[0080] Optionally, in this embodiment, the server obtains the storage information of the price tag plan after the price tag is assembled and before it is placed in the storage area, and generates the above-mentioned deep sleep instruction according to the storage information.

[0081] Optionally, in this embodiment, after the price tag is assembled and placed in the storage area, the server obtains the current storage information of the price tag and generates the deep sleep instruction according to the storage information.

[0082] Optionally, in this embodiment, the delivery task of the price tag is obtained through the server, and a sleep release instruction corresponding to the delivery task of the price tag is generated. Then, the sleep release instruction is sent to the warehouse base station, and then sent to the corresponding price tag by the warehouse base station.

[0083] Optionally, in this embodiment, when the price tag receives the sleep release instruction sent by the warehouse base station, the price tag releases the deep sleep mode.

[0084] The beneficial effect of this embodiment is that the price tag placed in the storage area is connected via the storage base station, and then the storage base station sends a deep sleep instruction to the price tag to make the price tag enter the deep sleep mode, generates a sleep release instruction corresponding to the delivery task of the price tag, and finally, the storage base station sends the sleep release instruction to the price tag to make the price tag release the deep sleep mode. An efficient price tag storage power consumption control solution is realized, so that the price tag can adaptively modulate its own power consumption state according to the delivery task in the storage environment, so that the price tag can maintain a relatively good power state when it is delivered for use, thereby improving the productivity and user experience of the product.

[0085] Embodiment 2

[0086] Figure 4 : is a flow chart of a second embodiment of the method for controlling the power consumption of price tag storage in the present invention. Based on the above embodiment, the method of connecting the price tags placed in the storage area through the storage base station includes:

[0087] S11. When the price tag is assembled, the price tag is preset to be in a strong signal mode.

[0088] S12: When the price tag is included in the storage area, the price tag in the strong signal mode is connected via the storage base station.

[0089] Optionally, in this embodiment, the warehouse base station is configured through the service end so that the warehouse base station can send a deep sleep instruction to the incoming price tag in the strong signal mode.

[0090] Optionally, in this embodiment, when the price tag is assembled, the transportation distance and transportation time between the assembly line and the storage area are obtained, and the price tag is determined to enter the above-mentioned strong signal mode after a certain period of time based on the transportation distance and transportation time.

[0091] Optionally, in this embodiment, in the storage area, different strength levels of the above-mentioned strong signal mode are obtained according to the storage position of the price tag and the relative position relationship between the position and the storage base station. For example, the storage area includes six storage units, the first storage unit is closest to the storage base station, and the sixth storage unit is farthest from the storage base station. Based on this, when the price tag is assembled and the corresponding storage unit is determined, one of the six corresponding signal strength levels is determined according to the number of the storage unit as its own strong signal mode. On the one hand, the optimal initial power consumption of each price tag can be determined differentially, and on the other hand, the price tags in each location area can smoothly and effectively receive the instructions issued by the storage base station.

[0092] The beneficial effect of this embodiment is that when the price tag is assembled, the price tag is preset to be in a strong signal mode, and then when the price tag is placed in the storage area, the price tag in the strong signal mode is connected through the storage base station. An efficient price tag storage power consumption control solution is implemented, and signal mode setting conditions are provided, so that the price tag can adaptively modulate its own power consumption state according to the delivery task in the storage environment, so that the price tag can maintain a relatively good power state when it is delivered for use, thereby improving the productivity and user experience of the product.

[0093] Embodiment 3

[0094] Figure 5: is a flow chart of the third embodiment of the method for controlling the power consumption of the price tag storage of the present invention. Based on the above embodiment, the storage base station sends a deep sleep instruction to the price tag to make the price tag enter the deep sleep mode, including:

[0095] S21, presetting an initial first sleep time for the price tag.

[0096] S22. Control the price tag to sleep according to the first sleep time through the deep sleep instruction.

[0097] Optionally, in the present embodiment, it is understandable that the price tags of the same batch in the same storage area can be uniformly controlled for power consumption. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the initial first sleep time of the price tag is first preset, and the first sleep time is the longer sleep cycle time, for example, two hours or ten hours, that is, wake up once every two hours or ten hours, and try to connect to the base station. If it is not connected to the base station within the preset time, or no signaling from the base station is received, it enters a two-hour or ten-hour deep sleep cycle again.

[0098] The beneficial effect of this embodiment is that by presetting the initial first sleep time of the price tag, and then controlling the price tag to sleep according to the first sleep time through the deep sleep instruction, an efficient price tag storage power consumption control solution is realized, and the initial long sleep setting conditions for warehousing are provided, so that the price tag can adaptively modulate its own power consumption state according to the delivery task in the storage environment, so that the price tag can maintain a relatively good power state when it is delivered for use, thereby improving the productivity and user experience of the product.

[0099] Embodiment 4

[0100] Figure 6 4 is a flowchart of a fourth embodiment of the method for controlling the power consumption of price tag storage of the present invention. Based on the above embodiment, the generating of the sleep release instruction corresponding to the delivery task of the price tag includes:

[0101] S31, obtaining the shipping time and destination of the price tag.

[0102] S32. Obtaining the transportation time of the price tag according to the distance between the storage area and the destination.

[0103] Optionally, in this embodiment, the delivery time of the price tag is obtained, and the price tags are classified according to the delivery time. For example, the price tags with a delivery time of one day are classified into the first management batch, the price tags with a delivery time of two days to one week are classified into the second management batch, and the price tags with a delivery time of more than one week are classified into the third management batch. Furthermore, the destination of the price tag shipment is obtained, and the corresponding management batch is determined according to the area to which the different destinations belong.

[0104] Optionally, in this embodiment, the transportation time of the price tag is obtained according to the distance between the location of the storage area and the destination. Specifically, after the price tags with a delivery time of one day are divided into the first management batch, the price tags with a delivery time of two days to one week are divided into the second management batch, and the price tags with a delivery time greater than one week are divided into the third management batch, differentiated adjustments are made to each management batch, that is, the transportation time of the price tag is obtained according to the distance between the location of the storage area and the destination, and the above three management batches are differentiated according to the transportation time.

[0105] Optionally, in this embodiment, the duration of the transportation time is divided into three intervals, and then three sub-batches are set for the three management batches, respectively, so as to determine the management batch and sub-batch to which each price tag belongs.

[0106] The beneficial effect of this embodiment is that by obtaining the shipping time and destination of the price tag, and then obtaining the transportation time of the price tag according to the distance between the storage area and the destination, an efficient price tag storage power consumption control solution is implemented, and the shipping task parsing conditions after warehousing are provided, so that the price tag can adaptively modulate its own power consumption state according to the shipping task in the storage environment, so that the price tag can maintain a relatively good power state when it is delivered for use, thereby improving the productivity and user experience of the product.
