[0044] The exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although the exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments set forth herein. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided to enable a more thorough understanding of the present disclosure and to fully convey the scope of the present disclosure to those skilled in the art.

[0045] The embodiment of the present invention provides a method for processing a catering order, such as Figure 1 As shown, the method for processing a catering order provided by an embodiment of the present invention may include:

[0046] Step S102, obtaining the food and beverage order to be delivered.

[0047] In an embodiment of the present invention, the food and beverage order to be delivered may be issued by a user based on a designated food ordering platform, and the food and beverage order to be delivered may contain information on food items selected by the user.

[0048] Step S104, determining the meal box information required for the meal order to be delivered.

[0049] Typically, a meal order may be generated based on a meal set selected by a user, or may be generated based on an independent meal selected by a user. In an embodiment of the present invention, taking a meal order as a meal set meal order as an example, when determining the meal box information required for the meal order to be delivered, the meal set information in the meal order to be delivered may be first identified, and then the meal box information required for the meal order to be delivered may be determined based on the meal set information. The meal set information may include the number of meal sets and the number of meals included in each meal set.

[0050] In actual applications, at least one type of meal box can be prepared in advance, and each meal box has multiple independent spaces for holding meals. After obtaining the meal order to be delivered, the number of meals selected by the user and the number of meals included in each meal (such as how many meat and how many vegetables) can be identified, and then the meal box information that matches the meal order to be delivered can be selected.

[0051] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, when determining the meal box information required for the meal order to be delivered according to the meal package information, the following may be included:

[0052] S1-1, determining at least one type of meal box required for the meal order to be delivered according to the number of meals included in each meal set;

[0053] S1-2, determining the quantity of each type of lunch box according to the quantity of the meal sets.

[0054] For example, the types of lunch boxes may include a type A lunch box that can hold three types of food, a type B lunch box that can hold four types of food, and a type C lunch box that can hold five types of food. According to the meal information identified by the food order to be delivered, the meal set information is three servings of two meat dishes and one vegetable dish, two servings of three meat dishes and one vegetable dish, and two servings of three meat dishes and two vegetables dishes. At this time, according to the lunch box information, it is determined that three type A lunch boxes, two type B lunch boxes, and two type C lunch boxes are needed.

[0055] For another example, different types of lunch boxes may have different sizes and specifications. After determining the type of lunch box required for the food order to be delivered based on the meal package information, the specifications of the corresponding lunch box type may be further determined based on the weight of the food in the meal package. That is, in a meal package of three servings, two meat dishes and one vegetable dish, it can be identified based on the weight of the food in the meal package that it includes two large servings, two meat dishes and one vegetable dish, and one small serving, two meat dishes and one vegetable dish. At this time, it can be determined that the lunch box information is two large Class A lunch boxes and one small Class A lunch box.

[0056] Step S106, configuring a matching delivery box for the food and beverage order to be delivered according to the meal box information.

[0057] After obtaining the meal box information required for the meal order to be delivered, a suitable delivery box can be matched for the meal order to be delivered. In the embodiment of the present invention, there are multiple types of delivery boxes, each with different sizes and internal space structures. In actual applications, a delivery box that is suitable for the meal box can be selected according to the meal box information.

[0058] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, when configuring a delivery box matching the food and beverage order to be delivered in step S106, the following may be included:

[0059] S2-1, obtaining the internal space information of multiple preset delivery boxes; the internal space information may include the internal space capacity of the preset delivery boxes. The internal space capacity of each preset delivery box may be set according to different requirements, and the present invention does not limit this.

[0060] S2-2, selecting a matching delivery box from multiple preset delivery boxes according to the type of meal boxes required for the meal order to be delivered, the number of each type of meal boxes, and the internal space information of multiple preset delivery boxes. Specifically, the occupied volume of the meal boxes can be counted according to the type of meal boxes required for the meal order to be delivered and the number of each type of meal boxes, and then selecting a matching delivery box from multiple preset delivery boxes according to the internal space information and occupied volume of multiple preset delivery boxes.

[0061] The method provided in the embodiment of the present invention can calculate and combine the occupied volume of the meal boxes required for the meal order to be delivered based on the types of meal boxes required for the meal order to be delivered and the number of each type of meal boxes, and then configure a matching delivery box for the meal order to be delivered, wherein the number of delivery boxes can be one or more, and can be specifically analyzed based on the occupied volume of the meal boxes required for the meal order to be delivered. For example, since the types of meal boxes required for the meal order to be delivered and the number of each type of meal boxes are known, the total occupied volume of all meal boxes can be calculated. In addition, the preset delivery boxes are prepared in advance, so the internal capacity of each budgeted delivery box is also known. At this time, a comprehensive analysis can be performed based on the occupied volume of the meal boxes and the internal capacity of each delivery box to determine the matching delivery box.

[0062] For example, you can first search among the preset delivery boxes to see if there is a preset delivery box with an internal capacity greater than a certain range of the total volume occupied by the meal boxes. If so, use the preset delivery box as the delivery box that matches the order to be delivered. If not, group the meal boxes according to different types, calculate the occupied volumes of different types of meal boxes in each group, and then search among the preset delivery boxes for preset delivery boxes with an internal capacity greater than a certain range of the occupied volumes of each group, thereby determining multiple delivery boxes. Of course, in actual applications, matching delivery boxes can also be determined in other ways, and the embodiments of the present invention do not limit this.

[0063] Based on the method provided in the embodiment of the present invention, the internal space of each delivery box can be reasonably utilized. While ensuring that the food and beverage orders to be delivered can be fully delivered, the delivery boxes can be effectively configured to reduce the waste of delivery box space and the inconvenience of delivery caused by occupying multiple delivery boxes.

[0064] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, after obtaining the food and beverage order to be delivered in the above step S102, the delivery method of the food and beverage order to be delivered may also be determined first. That is, the user information of the target delivery user of the food and beverage order to be delivered and / or the historical order information of the target delivery user are obtained; the delivery method of the food and beverage order to be delivered is determined based on the user information and / or the historical order information; wherein the delivery method includes ordinary delivery and contactless delivery. The user information of the target user may be the delivery method of the user's habits obtained based on the user portrait. Based on the historical order information of the target delivery user, the delivery method selected by the user when placing an order in the past may be analyzed. As mentioned above, the delivery method may be contactless delivery and ordinary delivery.

[0065] In the embodiment of the present invention, contactless delivery allocates one or more delivery boxes of different sizes to one or more orders of the same target delivery user, that is, each user's order will be matched with a separate delivery box and will not be shared with other users.

[0066] For ordinary delivery, multiple target delivery users may use the same delivery box. In this case, the delivery box can be directly allocated according to the size of the delivery box of the delivery person and the number or size of the meal boxes. For example, for the meals contained in the orders with the same target delivery address, they can be placed in the same delivery box for delivery. Or, for the orders that the same delivery person is responsible for, the same delivery box can be used for delivery.

[0067] In actual applications, there may be one or more catering orders to be delivered. An optional embodiment of the present invention further provides a method for processing a catering order. Figure 2 , the method may be specifically as follows.

[0068] Step S202, obtaining the food and beverage order to be delivered.

[0069] Step S204, determining the order quantity of the catering orders to be delivered.

[0070] Step S206, when it is determined that there is only one catering order to be delivered, obtain at least one matching catering order from other catering orders that has the same target delivery address and / or the same target delivery user as the catering order to be delivered; merge the matching catering order into the catering order to be delivered to determine the required meal box information.

[0071] Optionally, when merging the matching catering orders into the catering orders to be delivered to determine the required meal box information, the types and quantities of meal packages in the catering orders to be delivered and the matching catering orders can be identified respectively, and then the types of meal boxes required for packing the meal packages included in the catering orders to be delivered and the matching catering orders can be determined, as well as the quantity and size of each type of meal box, so as to facilitate the later selection of delivery boxes for combined delivery.

[0072] In actual applications, since the ordering time of user meal orders is different, after obtaining a meal order to be delivered, other meal orders can be obtained, such as meal orders that need to be delivered received by the same merchant on different platforms. Moreover, since the delivery box is mostly a space that can accommodate multiple meal boxes, it is easy to waste the space of the delivery box if only a single order is delivered. Therefore, the embodiment of the present invention can achieve reasonable utilization of the delivery box space by obtaining matching meal orders with the same target delivery address and / or the same target delivery user as the meal order to be delivered from other meal orders, and merging the two for delivery.

[0073] Furthermore, when selecting a matching catering order from other catering orders, after selecting a matching catering order from other catering orders, the order time of the catering order to be delivered and the matching catering order can be obtained respectively. When the time interval between the orders of the two is less than a certain time threshold (such as 10 minutes to 15 minutes), the matching catering order can be merged into the catering order to be delivered, so as to effectively ensure that the delivery time of the catering order to be delivered meets the user's time requirements.

[0074] Step S208, when it is determined that there are multiple catering orders to be delivered, a catering order to be delivered with the same target delivery address and / or the same target delivery user is selected from the multiple catering orders to be delivered to determine the required meal box information. Assuming that there are multiple catering orders to be delivered, the catering orders with the same target delivery address and / or the same target delivery user can be combined for delivery, thereby effectively saving delivery resources, such as time resources, human resources, etc.

[0075] For example, assuming that multiple food and beverage orders to be delivered are received based on different platforms within a certain period of time, the target delivery address and target delivery user of each food and beverage order to be delivered can be obtained first, and the food and beverage orders to be delivered with the same target delivery address and / or the same target delivery user can be screened out, and the package information contained in each order to be delivered can be identified, such as the type of package (how many meat and vegetables, including the number of dishes), the quantity and weight of each type of package, and then the required type of meal box, as well as the size and quantity of each type of meal box can be determined based on the package information. The method provided by the embodiment of the present invention can effectively save human and material resources during delivery and improve delivery efficiency by merging and delivering food and beverage orders to be delivered with the same target delivery address and / or the same target delivery user.

[0076] Step S210, configuring a matching delivery box for the food and beverage order to be delivered according to the meal box information.

[0077] That is to say, after obtaining the catering orders to be delivered, the orders can be merged according to the target delivery users of the catering orders to be delivered, or according to the target delivery addresses, so as to automatically match the delivery boxes of suitable sizes for order delivery. For example, if the user orders 2 meal packages, the matching delivery box is the delivery box that can hold 2 meal packages. Of course, assuming that the number of meals in an order is large, the order can be split. If the user orders 10 meal packages, assuming that the largest delivery box can only hold 5 meal packages, the user's order can be divided into 2, each of which is matched and packaged with the delivery box with the largest capacity.

[0078] For another example, for the same target delivery address, they can generally be combined into one delivery box. For example, if a user orders two packages, if these two packages have the same delivery address, a delivery box that can hold both packages can be matched, and the two orders can be combined for packaging and delivery.

[0079] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, a permission lock can also be set on the delivery box. After the user's order is assigned to a suitable delivery box, the user's meal retrieval permission can be associated with the delivery box. For example, a unique number can be assigned to the delivery box, and then the order can be associated with the delivery box number, or the user can be assigned the unlocking permission of the delivery box, such as associating the mobile phone number of the user who placed the order with the unlocking permission, etc., so that the delivery box can be unlocked and the meal can be taken directly through the user's mobile phone. Of course, a temporary unlocking code can also be automatically generated according to the encoding of the delivery box, and the temporary unlocking code can be sent to the user's mobile terminal. The temporary unlocking code has a time limit, and it becomes invalid when the user completes the meal collection, thereby ensuring the safety of subsequent use.

[0080] In actual applications, the same delivery box may be divided into multiple independent spaces, each of which can be set with a password lock, and then unlocked by different users to pick up meals. For example, a delivery box may be a delivery box with 5 drawer locks, and each drawer can be controlled independently. Suppose the same delivery box is used to deliver meals to 5 users with the same target delivery address at the same time. At this time, the delivery box can hold 5 meal sets at the same time. The 5 meals can be placed in the 5 drawers of the delivery box respectively, and the unlocking authority is assigned to each user separately. When each user picks up the meal, he can take his own meal from the drawer corresponding to the delivery box according to the authority assigned to him.

[0081] The method provided in the embodiment of the present invention can allocate unlocking rights of the delivery box to the same user, and when different users use different delivery boxes, they can unlock them independently. If different users at the same address use the same delivery box, each user can be allocated unlocking rights of an independent drawer in the delivery box, and each user can unlock the drawer independently, which can not only ensure the safety of the food, but also realize the reasonable use of the delivery box.

[0082] Step S212, determining a shelf on which a delivery box can be placed based on the target delivery address of the food and beverage order to be delivered; obtaining structural feature information of the shelf; and determining a recommended placement position of the delivery box on the shelf based on user information and structural feature information of the target delivery user.

[0083] When delivering to the target delivery address, since the shelves may be in various positions of different heights, the method provided in the embodiment of the present invention can also match the specific position of the appropriate shelf according to the user information (such as height) and the structural feature information of the shelf. For example, assuming that the user is recognized to be tall, the delivery box can be placed at a higher position on the shelf. If the user is a girl of shorter height, the delivery box can be placed at a relatively low position on the shelf to facilitate the user to take it.

[0084] The above embodiment introduces a method for processing food and beverage orders to be delivered for set meals. In actual applications, food and beverage orders to be delivered for independent meals may also be obtained. At this time, when the meal box information of the food and beverage orders to be delivered can be determined, the type of meal boxes (including shape characteristics, etc.) and the number of each type of meal boxes (for example, soup requires soup bowls, etc.) required for each meal in the food and beverage orders to be delivered can be determined based on the type of meal (such as staple food, vegetables, soup, etc.) included in the food and beverage orders to be delivered. Then, the total occupied area is calculated based on the type of meal boxes and the number of each type of meal boxes. Combined with the capacity and internal space information of each idle delivery box, a matching delivery box is configured for the food and beverage order to be delivered.

[0085] Based on the same inventive concept, the embodiment of the present invention also provides a system for processing catering orders, such as Figure 3 As shown, the catering order processing system provided by the embodiment of the present invention may include:
