BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0036] Figure 1 The present invention is a flowchart of a method for delivering advertisements to a flat knitting machine. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0037] To more clearly illustrate the embodiments of the present invention, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, other drawings and other embodiments can be obtained based on these drawings without inventive efforts.

[0038] Example:

[0039] A method for placing advertisements on a flat knitting machine according to the present invention is shown in the flowchart of the method. Figure 1 As shown, advertisers set up advertisement placement through a WEB page, and then use the electronic control system in the computer flat knitting machine to receive and display the advertisement.

[0040] The implementation of this embodiment specifically includes the following steps:

[0041] First, the advertiser performs step S1, setting the ad content, delivery method, and delivery targets. Ad content is customized by the advertiser, and delivery methods can include specific details such as the date, time, duration, and recurring pattern. Ad delivery targets should at least be determined based on the manufacturer of the knitting machine. For example, targeting only knitting machines produced by one or two manufacturers might be considered. This ensures that ads are effectively delivered to customers who genuinely need to upgrade a specific model of computerized knitting machine or require maintenance or repair.

[0042] For example, a computerized flat knitting machine maintenance and repair company wants to promote its maintenance and repair services. However, they can only provide maintenance services for computerized flat knitting machines produced by one or a few manufacturers. In step S1, the company can target its advertising to computerized flat knitting machine manufacturers that have maintenance capabilities. This ensures that customers receiving the advertisement are using equipment that the company can provide services for.

[0043] More specifically, the delivery method may also include selecting the duration of the advertisement, selecting the display method of the advertisement, etc. The display method may specifically be one of a text carousel, a screen saver carousel, or a computer flat knitting machine device startup image display.

[0044] Targeting can also be determined by a specific region, knitting machine model, or system language. Targeting can be selected by country, province, city, district, county, or even street level, further narrowing the scope of advertisers' desired business. Targeting by knitting machine model further refines the target audience, ensuring advertisers are able to provide services to those targeted. Language selection also allows advertisers to appropriately develop their international business.

[0045] After the advertiser completes the settings of step S1, step S2 is performed. According to the delivery target set in step S1, a list of devices that meet the delivery target is screened from all connected devices, a list of devices that meet the delivery target is generated, and then the list of devices is added to the delivery task sequence, preparing to deliver the advertisement to the computerized flat knitting machine devices in the device list;

[0046] Furthermore, to improve advertiser efficiency, step S20 may be included before step S2. S20 specifically includes S201: generating an ad placement price based on the ad placement method and placement target; and S202: checking whether the advertiser's current balance is sufficient based on the price. If the balance is sufficient, then step S2 is entered. If not, the user is prompted to top up and the process returns to step S1. This reduces the advertising price settlement process and improves efficiency.

[0047] In addition, further, before step S2, step S21 may be included to review the content of the advertisement. Only after the review is passed can step S2 be entered to avoid non-compliant content from being released.

[0048] After step S2, proceed to step S3, according to the delivery task sequence generated in step S2, deliver the advertisement data to the flat knitting machine devices in sequence according to the device order in the sequence;

[0049] After the data is delivered to the flat knitting machine, step S4 can be performed, where the flat knitting machine displays the advertisement according to the received advertisement data, thereby completing the designated target delivery of the advertisement.

[0050] In addition, as an improvement, the method of this embodiment can also allow, after step S3, that is, after the advertising data is delivered to the target flat knitting machine, the advertiser to check the area where the advertisement has been delivered, thereby judging the effectiveness of the advertisement delivery. If the advertiser believes that the current advertisement is not effective or is sufficient, the advertisement delivery can be stopped to prevent waste of funds.

[0051] On the other hand, this embodiment also provides a flat knitting machine advertising delivery system, which applies the above method and includes:

[0052] An advertisement setting terminal, which is used to display a web page for performing the above-mentioned advertisement setting, so that the user can set the content, delivery method and delivery target of the advertisement on the web page, and send the content, delivery method and delivery target of the advertisement to the server;

[0053] The server is used to receive the content, delivery method and delivery target of the advertisement, generate a delivery task sequence based on the delivery target, and deliver the advertisement data to the flat knitting machine control system in sequence using the MQTT protocol according to the delivery task sequence;

[0054] The knitting machine control panel is installed within the machine. Generally, different computerized flat knitting machine manufacturers use the same brand of control panel, which provides the basis for selecting different computerized flat knitting machine manufacturers as advertising targets in the above method. The knitting machine control panel includes a communication module that receives advertising data from the server and transmits it to the knitting machine control panel for display on the knitting machine's display screen.

[0055] In order to achieve the improvement of step S20 in the above method, the advertising setting terminal in the system can also use web page scanning and other methods to provide users with a channel for balance; and the server is also used to generate the price of the advertisement according to the above method, and detect whether the user's current balance is sufficient to pay for the advertising fee.

[0056] In order to improve step S21 in the above method, the server is further configured to review the content of the advertisement, and the review can be completed manually or through intelligent automatic review.

[0057] In addition, the web page displayed by the advertisement setting terminal can also allow advertisers to view the areas where the current advertisements have been delivered, and send information to the server to stop the advertisement delivery according to the advertiser's operation.

[0058] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only detailed descriptions of the preferred embodiments and principles of the present invention. For ordinary technicians in this field, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods based on the ideas provided by the present invention, and these changes should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention.
