In addition, for the sake of clarity, parts irrelevant to the description of the exemplary embodiments are omitted in the drawings.

[0072] In the present disclosure, it should be understood that terms such as "including" or "having" are intended to indicate the presence of the features, numbers, steps, actions, components, parts, or combinations thereof disclosed in this specification, and are not intended to exclude the possibility of the presence or addition of one or more other features, numbers, steps, actions, components, parts, or combinations thereof.

[0073] In addition, it should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments in the present disclosure and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other. The present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0074] The technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure provides a meal delivery and printing integrated solution, which can not only print orders, but also scan the orders to implement the meal delivery operation of the orders. This technical solution integrates the meal delivery and printing functions, which not only greatly reduces the operation complexity, but also effectively reduces the cost investment, saves the operation table space, and improves the space utilization rate and the utilization rate of the shared resources of the printer and the meal delivery device.

[0075] Figure 1 A flowchart showing the meal delivery management method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is as follows Figure 1 As shown, the meal delivery management method includes the following steps S101 - S103:

[0076] In step S101, in response to receiving order data, print the order data to obtain an order print document, where the order print document is printed with recognizable information corresponding to the identification information of the order;

[0077] In step S102, in response to capturing an image of the order print document within the scanning range, scan the recognizable information on the order print document to obtain order identification information;

[0078] In step S103, generate an order meal delivery message based on the order identification information and upload the order meal delivery message.

[0079] As mentioned above, with the development of Internet technology, more and more service providers provide services through Internet platforms, such as takeaway food ordering and so on. For merchants providing food products, they usually use printers to print takeaway orders, and then use the food delivery scanner to scan the order to inform the server and delivery resources that the takeaway food is ready, so that the delivery resources can be allocated or the delivery resources can come to pick up the food. In this case, the merchant needs to configure two devices, namely a printer and a food delivery scanner. This not only involves cumbersome operations but also incurs high costs, and it is also a waste of resources that can be shared by the printer and the food delivery scanner.

[0080] Considering the above defects, in this embodiment, a food delivery management method is proposed. This method provides an integrated food delivery and printing solution that can not only print orders but also scan the orders to implement the food delivery operation. This technical solution integrates the food delivery and printing functions, which not only greatly reduces the operation complexity but also effectively reduces the cost investment, saves the operating table space, and improves the space utilization rate and the utilization rate of resources shared by the printer and the food delivery scanner.

[0081] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the food delivery management method is applicable to food delivery and printing integrated devices such as computing devices, electronic devices, and intelligent terminals.

[0082] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the food delivery and printing integrated device refers to a food delivery and printing device that can not only implement the printing of orders but also implement the confirmation of food delivery, and integrates the food delivery and printing functions.

[0083] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the order data refers to data related to the order to be processed. Among them, the order data may include, for example, one or more of the following data: order identification information such as order number and order ID that can distinguish the order; order object information such as the name, quantity, cabinet grid, unit price, and total price of the food products included in the order; order merchant address; order delivery address; order note information; and so on.

[0084] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the order print document refers to a document that prints and presents the order data, such as an order receipt and so on. To facilitate the operation of the merchant, the order print document usually prints recognizable information corresponding to the identification information of the order. Among them, the recognizable information can be scanned and recognized to obtain the identification information of the order. For example, a two-dimensional code or bar code carrying the order identification information and so on.

[0085] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the scanning range refers to the range within which the scanning component of the food delivery and printing integrated device can perform an effective scanning operation.

[0086] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the order meal-prepared message refers to a message generated based on the order identification information, indicating that the meals included in the order are ready for delivery. Among them, the order meal-prepared message can be uploaded to a server, the cloud, other merchant terminals, etc. via a network. The server and the cloud can allocate delivery resources according to the order meal-prepared message to deliver the meals, notify the delivery resources that they can pick up the meals, update the status of the order, and perform other subsequent operations. Other merchant terminals can record and store the status of the order, update the status of the order, broadcast or display the order meal-prepared message, and perform other subsequent operations according to the order meal-prepared message.

[0087] In the above embodiment, after the meal-prepared and printing integrated device receives the order data, it can print it out to obtain an order printing document with recognizable information corresponding to the identification information of the order. Then, after confirming that an image of the order printing document is captured within the scanning range, the recognizable information on the order printing document is scanned to obtain the order identification information. Finally, an order meal-prepared message is generated based on the order identification information, and the order meal-prepared message is uploaded to achieve the printing and meal preparation of the order.

[0088] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the method may further include the following steps:

[0089] Store the printed order data.

[0090] In order to verify and check the printed order data, in this embodiment, the printed order data is also stored. Further, in order to reduce the storage pressure of local storage and save the storage space of local storage, the printed order data can be stored in the cache of the meal-prepared and printing integrated device, facilitating the access to the printed order data when needed.

[0091] Further, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, the storing of the printed order data can be implemented as:

[0092] Store the printed order data at preset time intervals or within a preset time period.

[0093] In this embodiment, in order to reduce the amount of data stored each time and the storage pressure of local storage, the printed order data is stored at preset time intervals, such as every 5 hours, or within a preset time period, such as on the same day.

[0094] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, after the step of scanning the recognizable information on the order printing document in step S102 to obtain the order identification information, the following steps may further be included:

[0095] Match the order identification information obtained by scanning with the stored order data;

[0096] Use the order identification information in the order data with the highest matching degree as the order identification information obtained by scanning.

[0097] In order to verify and ensure the accuracy of the order identification information obtained by scanning, in this embodiment, after obtaining the order identification information by scanning the recognizable information on the order printing document, the order identification information obtained by scanning is also matched with the previously stored order data. For example, the order identification information obtained by scanning is matched one by one with the order identification information in the previously stored order data; then the order identification information with the highest matching degree is used as the order identification information obtained by scanning for subsequent operations. This can improve the robustness of the order identification information scanning and recognition, and improve the recognition rate of the recognizable information on the order printing document.

[0098] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the step of matching the order identification information obtained by scanning with the stored order data may be implemented as:

[0099] Determine whether the order identification information obtained by scanning is complete;

[0100] When the order identification information is incomplete, match the order identification information obtained by scanning with the stored order data.

[0101] In order to reduce the time spent on the matching operation, avoid unnecessary matching operations, and improve the execution efficiency of the matching operation, in this embodiment, before matching the order identification information obtained by scanning with the stored order data, first determine whether the order identification information obtained by scanning is complete. If the order identification information is complete, it can be considered that the order identification information is accurate and subsequent operations can be directly performed. If the order identification information is incomplete, for example, due to the uneven placement of the scanned order printing document or unclear printing, resulting in errors in the recognition of the order identification information or incomplete order identification information, then the order identification information obtained by scanning needs to be matched with the previously stored order data to obtain complete and accurate order identification information.

[0102] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the method may further include the following steps:

[0103] Bind the meal delivery and printing integrated device with the merchant registration.

[0104] For the convenience of merchant management and to facilitate the verification of meal delivery operations, in this embodiment, before the meal delivery and printing integrated device works, a binding operation needs to be performed, that is, binding the meal delivery and printing integrated device with the merchant registration. That is to say, all order data processed by the meal delivery and printing integrated device are order data of this merchant.

[0105] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the step of binding the meal delivery and printing integrated device with the merchant registration may include the following steps:

[0106] Scan the merchant-identifiable information to obtain merchant identification information;

[0107] Bind the identification information of the meal delivery and printing integrated device with the merchant identification information.

[0108] In this embodiment, when binding the meal delivery and printing integrated device with the merchant registration, the scanning component of the meal delivery and printing integrated device can be used to scan merchant-identifiable information such as two-dimensional codes or barcodes to obtain merchant identification information. Among them, the merchant-identifiable information carries merchant identification information such as merchant ID and merchant name that can be used to distinguish merchants; then, the identification information of the meal delivery and printing integrated device is made to correspond one by one with the merchant identification information and bound together. Among them, the identification information of the meal delivery and printing integrated device can be stored in the storage component of the meal delivery and printing integrated device, and the corresponding relationship between the identification information of the meal delivery and printing integrated device and the merchant identification information can also be stored in the storage component.

[0109] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the step of binding the identification information of the meal delivery and printing integrated device with the merchant identification information may be implemented as:

[0110] Determine whether the corresponding relationship between the identification information of the meal delivery and printing integrated device and the merchant identification information is stored in the storage component of the meal delivery and printing integrated device. If not, then make the identification information of the meal delivery and printing integrated device correspond to the merchant identification information and store their corresponding relationship in the storage component.

[0111] In this embodiment, when binding the identification information of the meal delivery and printing integrated device with the merchant identification information, first determine whether the binding process has been performed on the identification information of the meal delivery and printing integrated device and the merchant identification information, that is, whether the corresponding relationship between the identification information of the meal delivery and printing integrated device and the merchant identification information is already stored in the storage component of the meal delivery and printing integrated device. If not, then make the identification information of the meal delivery and printing integrated device correspond to the merchant identification information and store their corresponding relationship in the storage component of the meal delivery and printing integrated device.

[0112] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the step of printing the order data may be implemented as follows:

[0113] Determine whether the merchant identification information in the order data is the bound merchant identification information. If so, print the order data.

[0114] For the convenience of verifying the meal delivery operation, before the meal delivery and printing integrated device receives the order data and prints the order data, it is also necessary to determine whether the merchant identification information in the order data is the merchant identification information that has been bound before. If so, it means that the order data is legal or correct data, and the printing operation of the order data can continue. If not, it means that the order data is illegal or incorrect data, and the printing operation of the order data needs to be stopped.

[0115] The following is an embodiment of the device of the present disclosure, which can be used to execute the embodiment of the method of the present disclosure.

[0116] Figure 2 The structural block diagram of a meal delivery management device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. This device can be implemented as part or all of an electronic device through software, hardware, or a combination of both. As Figure 2 shown, the meal delivery management device includes:

[0117] A printing module 201, configured to print the order data in response to receiving the order data, and obtain an order printing document, where the order printing document prints recognizable information corresponding to the identification information of the order;

[0118] A scanning module 202, configured to scan the recognizable information on the order printing document to obtain order identification information in response to capturing an image of the order printing document within the scanning range;

[0119] A generating module 203, configured to generate an order meal delivery message based on the order identification information and upload the order meal delivery message.

[0120] As mentioned above, with the development of Internet technology, more and more service providers provide services through Internet platforms, such as takeout food ordering, etc. For merchants providing food products, they usually use printers to print takeout orders, and then use a meal delivery scanner to scan the code for meal delivery to inform the server and distribution resources that the takeout food is ready, and the distribution resources can be allocated or the distribution resources can come to pick up the food. In this way, merchants need to configure two devices, namely printers and meal delivery scanners, which is not only cumbersome to operate but also costly, and it is also a waste of resources that can be shared by printers and meal delivery scanners.

[0121] In view of the above defects, in this embodiment, a meal delivery management device is proposed. This device provides an integrated meal delivery and printing solution, which can not only print orders, but also scan orders to implement the meal delivery operation for the orders. This technical solution integrates the meal delivery and printing functions, which not only greatly reduces the operation complexity, but also effectively reduces the cost investment, saves the operation table space, and improves the space utilization rate and the utilization rate of the shared resources of the printer and the meal delivery device.

[0122] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the meal delivery management device can be implemented as an integrated meal delivery and printing device such as a computing device, an electronic device, a smart terminal, etc.

[0123] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the integrated meal delivery and printing device refers to a meal delivery and printing device that can not only implement the printing of orders, but also implement the meal delivery confirmation of meals, and integrates the meal delivery and printing functions.

[0124] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the order data refers to data related to the order to be processed. Among them, the order data may include, for example, one or more of the following data: order identification information such as order number, order ID, etc. that can distinguish the order; order object information such as meal name, quantity, cabinet grid, unit price, total price, etc. included in the order; order merchant address; order delivery address; order note information; and so on.

[0125] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the order print document refers to a document that prints and presents the order data, such as an order receipt, etc. For the convenience of the merchant's operation, the order print document usually prints recognizable information corresponding to the identification information of the order, where the recognizable information can be scanned and recognized to obtain the identification information of the order. For example, a two-dimensional code or a bar code carrying the order identification information, etc.

[0126] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the scanning range refers to the range within which the scanning component of the integrated meal delivery and printing device can perform an effective scanning operation.

[0127] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the order meal delivery message refers to a message generated based on the order identification information, which is used to indicate that the meals included in the order are ready for delivery. Among them, the order meal delivery message can be uploaded to the server, the cloud, other terminals of the merchant, etc. via the network. The server and the cloud can perform subsequent operations such as allocating delivery resources for meal delivery, notifying the delivery resources to pick up the meal, and updating the order status according to the order meal delivery message. Other terminals of the merchant can perform subsequent operations such as recording and storing the order status, updating the order status, and broadcasting or displaying the order meal delivery message according to the order meal delivery message.

[0128] In the above-described embodiment, after the meal-delivery and printing integrated device receives the order data, it can print the order data to obtain an order printing receipt printed with recognizable information corresponding to the identification information of the order. Then, after confirming that an image of the order printing receipt is captured within the scanning range, the recognizable information on the order printing receipt is scanned to obtain order identification information. Finally, an order meal-delivery message is generated based on the order identification information, and the order meal-delivery message is uploaded to implement the printing and meal-delivery of the order.

[0129] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the device may further include:

[0130] A storage module configured to store the printed order data.

[0131] To implement the verification and checking of the printed order data, in this embodiment, the printed order data is also stored. Further, to reduce the storage pressure of local storage and save the storage space of local storage, the printed order data may be stored in the cache of the meal-delivery and printing integrated device, facilitating the access to the printed order data when needed.

[0132] Further, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, the storage module may also be configured to store the printed order data at preset time intervals or within a preset time period.

[0133] In this embodiment, to reduce the amount of data stored each time and the storage pressure of local storage, the printed order data is stored at preset time intervals, such as every 5 hours, or within a preset time period, such as on the same day.

[0134] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the device may further include:

[0135] A matching module configured to match the scanned order identification information with the stored order data; and use the order identification information in the order data with the highest matching degree as the scanned order identification information.

[0136] To verify and ensure the accuracy of the scanned order identification information, in this embodiment, after the order identification information is obtained by scanning the recognizable information on the order printing receipt, the scanned order identification information is also matched with the previously stored order data. For example, the scanned order identification information is matched one by one with the order identification information in the previously stored order data. Then, the order identification information with the highest matching degree is used as the scanned order identification information for subsequent operations. This can improve the robustness of the scanning and recognition of order identification information and increase the recognition rate of the recognizable information on the order printing receipt.

[0137] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the part in the matching module that matches the scanned order identification information with the stored order data may be configured to:

[0138] Determine whether the scanned order identification information is complete;

[0139] When the order identification information is incomplete, match the scanned order identification information with the stored order data.

[0140] In order to reduce the time spent on matching operations, avoid unnecessary matching operations, and improve the execution efficiency of matching operations, in this embodiment, before matching the scanned order identification information with the stored order data, first determine whether the scanned order identification information is complete. If the order identification information is complete, it can be considered that the order identification information is accurate, and subsequent operations can be directly performed. If the order identification information is incomplete, for example, due to the uneven placement or unclear printing of the scanned order printing document, resulting in incorrect identification or incomplete order identification information, then it is necessary to match the scanned order identification information with the previously stored order data to obtain complete and accurate order identification information.

[0141] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the device may further include:

[0142] A binding module, configured to bind the meal delivery and printing integrated device with the merchant registration.

[0143] For the convenience of merchant management and the verification of meal delivery operations, in this embodiment, before the meal delivery and printing integrated device works, a binding operation needs to be performed, that is, binding the meal delivery and printing integrated device with the merchant registration. That is to say, the order data processed by the meal delivery and printing integrated device are all order data of this merchant.

[0144] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the binding module may be configured to:

[0145] Scan the merchant-identifiable information to obtain the merchant identification information;

[0146] Bind the identification information of the meal delivery and printing integrated device with the merchant identification information.

[0147] In this embodiment, when binding the meal delivery and printing integrated device to the merchant registration, the scanning component of the meal delivery and printing integrated device can be used to scan merchant-identifiable information such as QR codes or barcodes to obtain merchant identification information. Among them, the merchant-identifiable information carries merchant identification information such as merchant ID and merchant name that can be used to uniquely identify the merchant; then the identification information of the meal delivery and printing integrated device is corresponded to the merchant identification information and bound together. Among them, the identification information of the meal delivery and printing integrated device can be stored in the storage component of the meal delivery and printing integrated device, and the corresponding relationship between the identification information of the meal delivery and printing integrated device and the merchant identification information can also be stored in the storage component.

[0148] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the part of the binding module that binds the identification information of the meal delivery and printing integrated device to the merchant identification information can be configured to:

[0149] Determine whether the corresponding relationship between the identification information of the meal delivery and printing integrated device and the merchant identification information is stored in the storage component of the meal delivery and printing integrated device. If not, correspond the identification information of the meal delivery and printing integrated device to the merchant identification information and store their corresponding relationship in the storage component.

[0150] In this embodiment, when binding the identification information of the meal delivery and printing integrated device to the merchant identification information, first determine whether the binding process has been performed on the identification information of the meal delivery and printing integrated device and the merchant identification information, that is, whether the corresponding relationship between the identification information of the meal delivery and printing integrated device and the merchant identification information is already stored in the storage component of the meal delivery and printing integrated device. If not, correspond the identification information of the meal delivery and printing integrated device to the merchant identification information and store their corresponding relationship in the storage component of the meal delivery and printing integrated device.

[0151] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the part of the printing module that prints the order data can be configured to:

[0152] Determine whether the merchant identification information in the order data is the bound merchant identification information. If so, print the order data.

[0153] To facilitate the verification of the meal delivery operation, before the meal delivery and printing integrated device receives the order data and prints the order data, it is also determined whether the merchant identification information in the order data is the previously bound merchant identification information. If so, it means that the order data is legal or correct data, and the printing operation of the order data can be continued. If not, it means that the order data is illegal or incorrect data, and the printing operation of the order data needs to be stopped.
