Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of mobile communications, and more particularly to a product picking and detection method, device, and computer-readable storage medium. Background Technology

[0002] In existing technologies, with the upgrading needs of supermarket system management, electronic shelf labels are gradually being introduced to facilitate label changes and replacements in supermarkets and other retail stores. As the functionality of electronic shelf labels in smart retail systems deepens, it has evolved from simply displaying prices to becoming a crucial medium connecting customers and merchants. Therefore, how to assist retailers in improving service quality through price tags and other media, and how to determine the methods for collecting service data, have become pressing technical issues that need to be addressed. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the aforementioned technical deficiencies in the prior art, this invention proposes a product picking and detection method, which includes:

[0004] When the price tag at the location of the product is activated, the reading of the product's label is initiated. If the ID corresponding to the product is not read, it is considered a failed read as the current in-situ ID. The number of failed reads of the current in-situ ID and the time of the failed read are accumulated, and the price tag is controlled to enter sleep mode.

[0005] When the ID is read, it is determined whether the ID is the same as the current in-place ID. If the ID is different from the current in-place ID, the number of read failures is cleared to zero, and the ID is used as the new current in-place ID.

[0006] When the ID is the same as the current in-place ID, accumulate the number of successful reads of the current in-place ID, and determine whether the number of failed reads is zero.

[0007] When the number of read failures is zero, the price tag is put into sleep mode. When the number of read failures is not zero, the product information corresponding to the ID is written to the preset price tag management database, and the number of successful reads and the number of failed reads are cleared to zero.

[0008] The price tag reading position is set according to the placement position of the product, so that the price tag reads the electronic tag paper attached to the product or the recycling box containing the product at the reading position, wherein the electronic tag paper stores the ID used to carry the product information.

[0009] When a price tag corresponds to a product, if the ID reading fails during a single wake-up of the price tag, it is determined that the product was picked up by the customer, and this is considered a failed read of the current in-situ ID.

[0010] If the price tag fails to read the ID during the next wake-up, the number of read failures is accumulated, and the attention level of the product is calculated based on the number of read failures.

[0011] When the price tag is successfully read from the ID during a wake-up call, it is determined whether the number of read failures is zero.

[0012] When the number of read failures is zero, it is determined that the item has not been picked up.

[0013] When the number of read failures is not zero, it is determined that the product has been picked up, and the picking event is recorded in the price tag management database.

[0014] When one price tag corresponds to one of the circulation boxes, if the ID reading of the price tag fails during a single wake-up, it is determined that the product has been picked up by the customer.

[0015] Determine the read status of the ID for the price tag during the next wake-up. If it fails, determine that the current position of the product is empty. If it succeeds, determine whether the ID is the same as the currently in-place ID.

[0016] If the ID is different from the current in-situ ID, it is determined that the current location is a new product different from the product.

[0017] The number of read failures is reset to zero, and the event identified when the previous read failure occurred is treated as a false pick-up event and eliminated.

[0018] The ID is used as the new current in-situ ID corresponding to the new product.

[0019] The new current in-place ID detection is performed repeatedly in the loop box.

[0020] The time during which the product is not noticed by the customer is recorded as TS time. TS time is the product of the price tag's wake-up period T and the number of successful reads S, which is T*S=TS.

[0021] The time during which the product is noticed by the customer is denoted as time T. Time T is the product of the price tag's wake-up period T and the number of read failures L, which is T*L = TL.

[0022] The present invention also proposes a merchandise picking and detection 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, it implements the steps of the merchandise picking and detection method as described in any of the preceding claims.

[0023] The present invention also proposes a computer-readable storage medium storing a merchandise picking detection program, which, when executed by a processor, implements the steps of the merchandise picking detection method as described in any of the preceding claims.

[0024] The product picking and detection method, device, and computer-readable storage medium of the present invention initiate the reading of the product label when the price tag at the product's location is awakened. If the ID corresponding to the product is not read, it is considered a failed read as the current in-situ ID, and the number of failed reads and the time of the failed read are accumulated, and the price tag is controlled to enter sleep mode. When the ID is read, it is determined whether the ID is the same as the current in-situ ID. If the ID is different from the current in-situ ID, the number of failed reads is reset to zero, and the ID is used as the new current in-situ ID. If the ID is the same as the current in-situ ID, the number of successful reads of the current in-situ ID is accumulated, and it is determined whether the number of failed reads is zero. If the number of failed reads is zero, the price tag is controlled to enter sleep mode. If the number of failed reads is not zero, the product information corresponding to the ID is written to a preset price tag management database, and the number of successful reads and the number of failed reads are reset to zero. A user-friendly product picking and detection solution has been implemented, providing an accurate data foundation for optimizing product display layout, customer flow control, product attention and points of interest.

[0031] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.

[0032] In the following description, the use of suffixes such as "module," "part," or "unit" to denote elements is solely for the purpose of illustrative purposes and has no specific meaning in itself. Therefore, "module," "part," or "unit" may be used interchangeably.

[0033] Terminals can be implemented in various forms. For example, the terminals described in this invention may include mobile terminals such as mobile phones, tablets, laptops, handheld computers, personal digital assistants (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.

[0034] The following description will use a mobile terminal as an example. Those skilled in the art will understand that, apart from elements specifically designed for mobile purposes, the construction according to embodiments of the present invention can also be applied to fixed-type terminals.

[0035] Please see Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the hardware structure of a mobile terminal implementing various embodiments of the present invention. The mobile terminal 100 may include: an RF (Radio Frequency) unit 101, a WiFi module 102, an audio output unit 103, an A / V (Audio / Video) input unit 104, a sensor 105, a display unit 106, a user input unit 107, an interface unit 108, a memory 109, a processor 110, and a power supply 111, etc. Those skilled in the art will understand that... Figure 1 The mobile terminal structure shown does not constitute a limitation on the mobile terminal. The mobile terminal may include more or fewer components than shown, or combine certain components, or have different component arrangements.

[0036] The following is combined Figure 1 A detailed introduction to each component of the mobile terminal:

[0037] The radio frequency unit 101 can be used for receiving and transmitting signals during information transmission or calls. Specifically, it receives downlink information from the base station and processes it with the processor 110; additionally, it transmits uplink data to the base station. Typically, 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, and a duplexer. Furthermore, the radio frequency unit 101 can also communicate wirelessly with networks and other devices. The aforementioned wireless communications may 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).

[0038] WiFi is a short-range wireless transmission technology. Mobile terminals, through the WiFi module 102, can help users send and receive emails, browse web pages, and access streaming media, providing users with wireless broadband internet access. Although Figure 1 WiFi module 102 is shown, but it is understood that it is not a necessary component of a mobile terminal and can be omitted as needed without changing the nature of the invention.

[0039] The audio output unit 103 can convert audio data received by the radio frequency unit 101 or the WiFi module 102 or stored in the memory 109 into audio signals and output them as sound when the mobile terminal 100 is in call signal receiving mode, call mode, recording mode, voice recognition mode, broadcast receiving mode, etc. Furthermore, the audio output unit 103 can also provide audio output related to specific functions performed by the mobile terminal 100 (e.g., call signal receiving sound, message receiving sound, etc.). The audio output unit 103 may include a speaker, a buzzer, etc.

[0040] The A / V input unit 104 is used to receive audio or video signals. The A / V input unit 104 may include a graphics processing unit (GPU) 1041 and a microphone 1042. The GPU 1041 processes image data of still images or videos acquired by an image capture device (such as a camera) in video capture mode or image capture mode. The processed image frames can be displayed on the display unit 106. The image frames processed by the GPU 1041 can be stored in the memory 109 (or other storage medium) or transmitted via the radio frequency unit 101 or the WiFi module 102. The microphone 1042 can receive sound (audio data) in operating modes such as telephone call mode, recording mode, and voice recognition mode, and can process such sound into audio data. The processed audio (voice) data can be converted into a format that can be transmitted to a mobile communication base station via the radio frequency unit 101 in telephone call mode. The microphone 1042 can implement various types of noise cancellation (or suppression) algorithms to eliminate (or suppress) noise or interference generated during the reception and transmission of audio signals.

[0041] 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. The ambient light sensor can adjust the brightness of the display panel 1061 according to the ambient light level, and the proximity sensor can turn off the display panel 1061 and / or 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 various directions (generally three axes). When stationary, it can detect the magnitude and direction of gravity and can be used for applications that recognize the phone's posture (such as landscape / portrait switching, related games, magnetometer posture calibration), vibration recognition-related functions (such as pedometer, tapping), etc. Other sensors that may be configured in the phone, such as fingerprint sensors, pressure sensors, iris sensors, molecular sensors, gyroscopes, barometers, hygrometers, thermometers, and infrared sensors, will not be described in detail here.

[0042] 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.

[0043] User input unit 107 can be used to receive input numerical or character information, and generate key signal inputs related to user settings and function control of the mobile terminal. Specifically, user input unit 107 may include touch panel 1071 and other input devices 1072. Touch panel 1071, also known as touch screen, can collect touch operations on or near the user (such as operations performed by the user using a finger, stylus, or any suitable object or accessory on or near touch panel 1071), and drive corresponding connection devices according to a pre-set program. Touch panel 1071 may include two parts: a touch detection device and a touch controller. The touch detection device detects the user's touch position and the signal generated by the touch operation, and transmits the signal to the touch controller; the touch controller receives touch information from the touch detection device, converts it into touch point coordinates, sends it to processor 110, and can receive and execute commands from processor 110. In addition, touch panel 1071 can be implemented using various types such as resistive, capacitive, infrared, and surface acoustic wave. In addition to the touch panel 1071, the user input unit 107 may also include other input devices 1072. Specifically, other input devices 1072 may include, but are not limited to, one or more of the following: physical keyboard, function keys (such as volume control buttons, power buttons, etc.), trackball, mouse, joystick, etc., without being limited here.

[0044] 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 touch event. Subsequently, the processor 110 provides corresponding visual output on the display panel 1061 based on the type of touch event. Although in Figure 1 In this embodiment, the touch panel 1071 and the display panel 1061 are two independent components to realize 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 realize the input and output functions of the mobile terminal. The specific implementation is not limited here.

[0045] Interface unit 108 serves as an interface through which at least one external device can connect to 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, and so on. Interface unit 108 may be used to receive input (e.g., data, power, etc.) from the external device and transmit the received input to one or more elements within mobile terminal 100, or it may be used to transmit data between mobile terminal 100 and the external device.

[0046] The memory 109 can be used to store software programs and various data. The memory 109 may primarily include a program storage area and a data storage area. The program storage area may store the operating system, applications required for at least one function (such as sound playback, image playback, etc.), etc.; the data storage area may store data created based on the use of the mobile phone (such as audio data, phonebook, etc.). Furthermore, the memory 109 may include high-speed random access memory, and may also include non-volatile memory, such as at least one disk storage device, flash memory device, or other volatile solid-state storage device.

[0047] The processor 110 is the control center of the mobile terminal. It connects various parts of the mobile terminal via various interfaces and lines. By running or executing software programs and / or modules stored in the memory 109, and by calling data stored in the memory 109, it performs various functions and processes data of the mobile terminal, thereby providing overall monitoring of the mobile terminal. The processor 110 may include one or more processing units; preferably, the processor 110 may integrate an application processor and a modem processor. The application processor mainly handles the operating system, user interface, and applications, while the modem processor mainly handles wireless communication. It is understood that the modem processor may not be integrated into the processor 110.

[0048] The mobile terminal 100 may also include a power supply 111 (such as a battery) that supplies power to various components. Preferably, the power supply 111 can be logically connected to the processor 110 through a power management system, thereby enabling functions such as charging, discharging, and power consumption management through the power management system.

[0049] although Figure 1 As not shown, the mobile terminal 100 may also include a Bluetooth module, etc., which will not be described in detail here.

[0050] Based on the above-described mobile terminal hardware structure, various embodiments of the method of the present invention are proposed.

[0051] Example 1

[0052] Figure 2 This is a flowchart of the first embodiment of the product picking and detection method of the present invention. A product picking and detection method, the method comprising:

[0053] S1. When the price tag at the location of the product is awakened, start reading the label of the product. If the ID corresponding to the product is not read, it is considered a failure to read the current in-situ ID. The number of reading failures and the time point of reading failure of the current in-situ ID are accumulated, and the price tag is controlled to enter sleep mode.

[0054] S2. When the ID is read, determine whether the ID is the same as the current in-place ID. If the ID is different from the current in-place ID, clear the number of read failures and use the ID as the new current in-place ID.

[0055] S3. When the ID is the same as the current in-place ID, accumulate the number of successful reads of the current in-place ID, and determine whether the number of failed reads is zero.

[0056] S4. When the number of read failures is zero, control the price tag to enter sleep mode. When the number of read failures is not zero, write the product information corresponding to the ID to the preset price tag management database, and clear the number of successful reads and the number of failed reads.

[0057] In this embodiment, a strategy and method for acquiring customer data through price tags automatically analyzes and calculates the status of customers discovering and viewing the goods associated with those price tags. This analysis reveals information such as hidden customer traffic, product attention, and concentration of interest within the store. This data helps the store optimize product layout, thereby increasing sales.

[0058] In this embodiment, based on the hardware and software characteristics of the price tag, a very small and simple NFC read / write chip is integrated into the price tag. The NFC read / write chip is used to read and write data in the nearby electronic label at close range.

[0059] In this embodiment, the price tag and the product are placed at a short distance or close to each other. For different products, the current positional relationship between the price tag and the product is determined according to some placement strategies set by the seller.

[0060] In this embodiment, an electronic label is affixed to the product near the price tag. The label stores an ID identifier, which contains information as shown in the diagram below, including:

[0061] Product category serial number: Identifies the product category and is used to indicate differences in product names, such as a certain type of shoe from a certain manufacturer.

[0062] Product category serial number: For example, a certain category of shoes.

[0063] Product specification difference serial number: identifies optional differences in color, size, quality, etc. within the same product.

[0064] Product Number Unique ID: When there are more than a number of identical products with the same specifications listed, you can select the required identifier.

[0065] In this embodiment, the ID numbering principle is to ensure that the ID of a product is unique, so that even two completely identical products can be distinguished by their unique ID. For details, please refer to... Figure 3 The diagram shows the definition format, in which the definition format of the ID stored in the read / write electronic paper tag consists of, from beginning to end, ID number, category, type, color, size, shape, material, and other supplementary information.

[0066] Optionally, in this embodiment, multiple price tags are placed according to the combination requirements of product placement location, product placement space, classification complexity, and color and shape of products of the same category. This reduces the complexity of the ID definition process, making it easier to store and push out later.

[0067] In this embodiment, the price tag collects and reads the ID information of the nearby label paper, including whether the reading was successful and the content read.

[0068] In this embodiment, the price tag stores the following read / write content: the read ID serial number, the number of successful reads S, and the number of unsuccessful reads L.

[0069] In this embodiment, the price tag ID storage management function and the ID information periodically synchronized and sent to the base station function are included, that is, the collected ID information is periodically sent to the base station.

[0070] In this embodiment, information such as the number of times a product is viewed by customers, the timing, and the cycle are dynamically analyzed by combining the data collection failure patterns of the price tags.

[0071] In this embodiment, considering a specific scenario where a price tag identifies a unique product with identical specifications, the price tag needs to be linked to the sample product. A dedicated locking point is designed for the product, allowing for easy removal and return when the customer is looking at it. Other similar products are less easily accessible to the customer. Once the sample is removed, other products can be retrieved, facilitating sales. Optionally, in this embodiment, the sample has a label attached and is placed in a fixed slot, allowing the customer to retrieve and return it. A connecting wire, possibly with a suction cup, is included to fix the sample's orientation and position; this requires a separate design.

[0072] In this embodiment, for another specific scenario where the same price tag needs to identify different specifications of the same product, a cyclical product storage box needs to be designed. The price tag is placed in the most easily accessible location within the storage box, designated as the "currently in-place product sample," whose ID is the current in-place ID. The space or area within this cyclical product storage box facilitates the reading of the labeled sample product by the price tag and allows for automatic cyclical movement. In this embodiment, the box's function is as follows: when the user removes the currently in-place product sample, the product box does not cyclical, and the price tag reading will fail; when the customer removes other types of products from the box, the products in the box cyclical, freeing up the currently in-place product position, making it easier for the customer to return the product to that position, and the price tag will simultaneously show a reading failure. In this embodiment, upon the first failed read record, when a new sample is placed back in its current position, a new read record is created on the price tag, and a new failure record is added, indicating that this type of product has been picked up once. The time point is also recorded, and the current sample ID is replaced. Simultaneously, the failure data L of the original sample ID is cleared, indicating that the product picked up was not this type of product. Similarly, in this embodiment, samples that cannot be purchased are marked with fixed ID labels and are also fixed in position by suction cups.

[0073] The beneficial effect of this embodiment is that, by waking up the price tag at the product's location, reading the product's label is initiated. If the ID corresponding to the product is not read, it is considered a failed read as the current in-situ ID, and the number of failed reads and the time of failure are accumulated, while the price tag is put into sleep mode. When the ID is read, it is determined whether the ID is the same as the current in-situ ID. If the ID is different from the current in-situ ID, the number of failed reads is reset to zero, and the ID is used as the new current in-situ ID. If the ID is the same as the current in-situ ID, the number of successful reads of the current in-situ ID is accumulated, and it is determined whether the number of failed reads is zero. If the number of failed reads is zero, the price tag is put into sleep mode. If the number of failed reads is not zero, the product information corresponding to the ID is written to a preset price tag management database, and the number of successful reads and the number of failed reads are reset to zero. This implements a user-friendly product picking and detection scheme, providing an accurate data foundation for optimizing product display layout, customer flow control, product attention, and points of interest.

[0074] Example 2

[0075] Figure 4This is a flowchart of the second embodiment of the commodity picking and detection method of the present invention. Based on the above embodiment, the reading position of the price tag is set according to the placement position of the commodity, so that the price tag reads the electronic tag paper attached to the commodity or the recycling box containing the commodity at the reading position, wherein the electronic tag paper stores the ID for carrying the commodity information.

[0076] When a price tag corresponds to a product, if the ID reading fails during a single wake-up of the price tag, it is determined that the product was picked up by the customer, and this is considered a failed read of the current in-situ ID.

[0077] If the price tag fails to read the ID during the next wake-up, the number of read failures is accumulated, and the attention level of the product is calculated based on the number of read failures.

[0078] When the price tag is successfully read from the ID during a wake-up call, it is determined whether the number of read failures is zero.

[0079] When the number of read failures is zero, it is determined that the item has not been picked up.

[0080] When the number of read failures is not zero, it is determined that the product has been picked up, and the picking event is recorded in the price tag management database.

[0081] When one price tag corresponds to one of the circulation boxes, if the ID reading of the price tag fails during a single wake-up, it is determined that the product has been picked up by the customer.

[0082] Determine the read status of the ID for the price tag during the next wake-up. If it fails, determine that the current position of the product is empty. If it succeeds, determine whether the ID is the same as the currently in-place ID.

[0083] If the ID is different from the current in-situ ID, it is determined that the current location is a new product different from the product.

[0084] The number of read failures is reset to zero, and the event identified when the previous read failure occurred is treated as a false pick-up event and eliminated.

[0085] The ID is used as the new current in-situ ID corresponding to the new product.

[0086] The new current in-place ID detection is performed repeatedly in the loop box.

[0087] Specifically, this involves collecting information on the locations and processes where customers take samples from price tags, combined with... Figure 4 Please provide an explanation.

[0088] First, in this embodiment, the price tag corresponds to a fixed position on the product sample, as close as possible to the sample's electronic sticker, facilitating quick and easy reading and writing of its ID information. Additionally, the price tag is configured with a fixed sleep / wake-up time period according to the mall's needs, and information is read from the tag within this fixed period.

[0089] In the first scenario described above, a price tag identifies a unique product. When a customer picks up a sample of the product, the price tag will wake up and fail to read the sample. At this point, L+1 is incremented, and the tag goes back to sleep. The next time the tag wakes up, it may continue to fail to read the sample, indicating that the customer has been holding the product for a relatively long time. L+1 is recorded synchronously. The larger L is, the more attention the product has received.

[0090] When the customer puts the product back in its original position, the reading is successful, and S+1 is incremented. At this time, it is simultaneously checked whether L is zero. If it is zero, it means that the sample has not been moved, and the price tag continues to sleep until the next reading cycle. Otherwise, if L is not zero, it means that the product has just been picked up by the customer. This completes the information record and writes it to the price tag management database. At the same time, L and S of the current position ID are cleared to zero, and the reading and statistics cycle is restarted.

[0091] In scenario two above, when the currently in-place product sample is picked up, the process described in scenario one will proceed. However, when another sample in the circulation box is picked up, the product in the currently in-place position is replaced by the customer (e.g., a product of the same type but a different color or size). For example, a salesperson might place a red water cup near the price tag, but the customer picks up a blue one to examine and then places it near the price tag (this placement method needs to be designed). Similarly, when the customer picks up another type of product from the circulation box (the blue water cup), the product in that box circulates, the red water cup is automatically moved, freeing up the currently in-place product position, and the price tag will show a read failure. This read failure record will be mistakenly recorded as the product being picked up. Thus, when a new sample is placed back in the currently in-place position, it will be read and recorded again by the price tag. At this time, the new ID needs to add a failure record, indicating that the product of this type was picked up once, and the time point is also recorded. The currently in-place sample ID will be replaced; at the same time, the failure data L of the original in-place ID is cleared, indicating that the product picked up was not this one, and the mistaken record of automatic movement is removed.

[0092] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 5 The price tag storage information structure shown is as follows: Figure 5 As shown, "Time" records the time of the failure, facilitating database analysis of when customers took out products, leading to read failures. This allows for analysis of the product's active time and cycle, aiding in determining restocking and placement times. Specifically, Dn represents the sample ID information, S represents the number of times the current ID was successfully read, S represents the number of times the current ID failed to be read, and "Time" represents the time of the failure.

[0093] The time during which the product is not noticed by the customer is recorded as TS time. TS time is the product of the price tag's wake-up period T and the number of successful reads S, which is T*S=TS.

[0094] In this embodiment, the base station connected to the price tag functions to collect data from the price tag, perform data analysis and calculation, and then send the aggregated data to the server. Specifically, the base station will perform secondary analysis based on the data reported by the price tag, organizing the data according to ID, and analyzing key data for each ID based on the location and frequency of product placement. This includes the following three aspects.

[0095] First, in the database, the greater the number of successful attempts corresponding to an ID, the longer the sample has not been noticed. The total time is the product of the price tag wake-up period T and the number of successful attempts, which is T*S=TS.

[0096] Similarly, each TS with the same ID is counted: TS1 + TS2 + TS3 + ... + TSn = TS (total) time, that is, the period during which the product has not been noticed by customers since it was put on the shelves.

[0097] Secondly, in the database, the greater the number of failures corresponding to an ID, the more times and for a longer period of time that sample has been noticed by customers. The total time is the product of the price tag wake-up period T and the number of failures, which is T*L=TL.

[0098] TL1+TL2+TL3+…+TLn==TL(total), which gives the total attention period since the product was listed.

[0099] Third, the corresponding time point t in the database represents the point in time when the customer picked up and paid attention to the product. If all the time points t corresponding to this ID are counted, we can obtain the time period during which customers generally pay attention to the product, thus analyzing the product's active time points and cycles, which is helpful for determining restocking and display times.

[0100] Optionally, in this embodiment, it should also be noted that after the base station for network access is determined, the threshold of the price tag is recorded in the database and used as a reference for future automatic power adjustment. If the stable base station registered for network access of the price tag changes, the threshold will be readjusted. That is, different base stations registered to the price tag operate on different channels, and their reference thresholds are different. Therefore, the measurement and determination of the threshold by the price tag must be performed when no relevant push information is being sent in the system.

Claims

1. A method for detecting goods picking, characterized in that, The method includes: When the price tag at the location of the product is awakened, the reading of the product's label is initiated. If the ID corresponding to the product is not read, it is considered a reading failure as the current in-situ ID. The number of reading failures and the time points of reading failures of the current in-situ ID are accumulated, and the price tag is controlled to enter sleep mode. When the ID is read, it is determined whether the ID is the same as the current in-place ID. If the ID is different from the current in-place ID, the number of read failures is cleared to zero, and the ID is used as the new current in-place ID. When the ID is the same as the current in-place ID, the number of successful reads of the current in-place ID is accumulated, and it is determined whether the number of failed reads is zero; when the number of failed reads is zero, the price tag is controlled to enter sleep mode; when the number of failed reads is not zero, the product information corresponding to the ID is written to the preset price tag management database, and the number of successful reads and the number of failed reads are cleared to zero. The method further includes: setting the reading position of the price tag according to the placement position of the product, so that the price tag reads the electronic tag paper attached to the product or the recycling box containing the product at the reading position, wherein the electronic tag paper stores the ID for carrying the product information; when one price tag corresponds to one product, if the price tag fails to read the ID in one wake-up, it is determined that the product has been picked up by the customer.

2. The commodity picking and detection method according to claim 1, characterized in that, Also includes: If the price tag fails to read the ID during the next wake-up, the number of read failures is accumulated, and the attention level of the product is calculated based on the number of read failures.

3. The commodity picking and detection method according to claim 2, characterized in that, Also includes: When the price tag successfully reads the ID during a single wake-up, it is determined whether the number of read failures is zero. When the number of read failures is zero, it is determined that the item has not been picked up; When the number of read failures is not zero, it is determined that the product has been picked up, and the picking event is recorded in the price tag management database.

4. The commodity picking and detection method according to claim 1, characterized in that, Also includes: When one price tag corresponds to one recycling box, if the ID of the price tag fails to be read during a single wake-up, it is determined that the product has been picked up by the customer. Determine the read status of the ID for the price tag during the next wake-up. If it fails, determine that the current position of the product is empty. If it succeeds, determine whether the ID is the same as the currently in-place ID.

5. The commodity picking and detection method according to claim 4, characterized in that, Also includes: When the ID is different from the current in-situ ID, it is determined that the current location is a new product different from the product. The number of read failures is reset to zero, and the event identified when the previous read failure occurred is treated as a false pick-up event and eliminated.

6. The commodity picking and detection method according to claim 5, characterized in that, Also includes: Use the ID as the new current in-situ ID corresponding to the new product; The new current in-place ID detection is performed repeatedly in the loop box.
