Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of computer applications, and more particularly to an online retail method, apparatus, equipment, and storage medium based on community group buying. Background Technology

[0002] In community group buying, the group leader is often a retail store employee. While handling offline retail business, they can also act as the group leader to organize group purchases and distribute community group buying goods. At the same time, because retail stores have large storage space for goods and fixed and long operating hours, group leaders who are not retail store employees often designate retail stores as the distribution points for community group buying goods.

[0003] Therefore, how to combine the retail business of retail stores with online community group buying is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved in this field. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to overcome the deficiencies of the aforementioned related technologies, this invention provides an online retail method, apparatus, equipment, and storage medium based on community group buying, thereby combining the retail business of retail stores with community group buying online.

[0015] In some embodiments of this application, in response to the user's pickup address having a community group-buying order to be picked up, the retail goods order is marked as a pickup order.

[0016] In some embodiments of this application, marking the retail goods order as a self-pickup order includes:

[0017] The community group-buying client provides the user with a self-pickup control;

[0018] In response to the user's action on the self-pickup control, the retail goods order is marked as a self-pickup order.

[0019] In some embodiments of this application, marking the retail goods order as a self-pickup order includes:

[0020] The community group-buying client provides the user with a door-to-door delivery control.

[0021] In response to the user's operation of the home delivery control, the retail goods order is marked as a home delivery order;

[0022] In response to the user not operating the home delivery control within a set time period, the retail goods order is marked as a self-pickup order.

[0023] In some embodiments of this application, marking the retail goods order as a home delivery order in response to the user's operation of the home delivery control includes:

[0024] In response to the user's operation of the home delivery control, and the user's self-pickup address having a community group-buying order to be picked up, the community group-buying order to be picked up is marked as a home delivery order associated with a retail product order.

[0025] In some embodiments of this application, it further includes: providing after-sales controls for the retail goods order to the logistics terminal of the community group-buying client and / or the user's self-pickup address.

[0026] According to another aspect of this application, an online retail device based on community group buying is also provided, comprising:

[0043] Exemplary embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, these exemplary embodiments can be implemented in many forms and should not be construed as limited to the examples set forth herein; rather, they are provided so that the invention will be more comprehensive and complete, and will fully convey the concept of the exemplary embodiments to those skilled in the art. The described features, structures, or characteristics may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments.

[0044] Furthermore, the accompanying drawings are merely illustrative of the invention and are not necessarily drawn to scale. The same reference numerals in the drawings denote the same or similar parts, and therefore repeated descriptions of them will be omitted. Some block diagrams shown in the drawings are functional entities and do not necessarily correspond to physically or logically independent entities. These functional entities can be implemented in software, in one or more hardware modules or integrated circuits, or in different network and / or processor devices and / or microcontroller devices.

[0045] The flowchart shown in the attached diagram is merely an illustrative example and does not necessarily include all steps. For example, some steps may be broken down, while others may be combined or partially combined. Therefore, the actual execution order may change depending on the specific circumstances.

[0046] Figure 1A flowchart illustrating an online retail method based on community group buying according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. The online retail method based on community group buying includes the following steps:

[0047] Step S110: Provide community group buying product information to users through the community group buying client.

[0048] Specifically, community group buying clients are deployed on users' devices in the form of applications, mini-programs, web applications, etc., to provide community group buying services to users.

[0049] Step S120: Receive the user's operation on the community group buying product in the community group buying client, generate a community group buying order or add the community group buying product to the shopping cart.

[0050] Specifically, users can place an order for community group-buying products in the community group-buying client through steps S110 and S120, or add community group-buying products to their shopping cart and wait for payment to generate a community group-buying order. The community group-buying products will be transported to the user's self-pickup address (which can be selected by the user or set by the group leader), whereby the user can pick up the products of their community group-buying order.

[0051] Specifically, the pickup address for community group-buying orders can be automatically determined based on the user's location information. For example, the pickup address closest to the user can be used as the pickup address for the community group-buying order based on the user's location. Alternatively, the pickup address closest to the user from their historical pickup addresses can be used as the pickup address for the community group-buying order based on the user's location.

[0052] Specifically, the user's location information can be manually entered by the user. In some variations, the user's location information can also be automatically obtained from the location module of the device where the community group-buying client is located. In this embodiment, the community group-buying client may have permission to read location information from the location module of the device where the community group-buying client is located. This application can implement many more variations, which will not be elaborated here.

[0053] Step S130: In response to the user's self-pickup address having a retail store identifier, the community group-buying client provides the user with retail product information associated with the self-pickup address, where the user's self-pickup address is the self-pickup address of the community group-buying order.

[0054] Specifically, staff or group leaders at the self-pickup address can access the logistics terminal client on their devices. This client provides users with last-mile logistics services such as logistics verification. Staff or group leaders at the self-pickup address can interact with the community group-buying server through the client to set a retail store identifier for the address. In some embodiments, after applying for a retail store identifier from the community group-buying server through the client, the server can review the application. For example, offline review and online review of photos and retail store information can be conducted. Once approved, a retail store identifier can be set for the self-pickup address.

[0055] Specifically, staff or group leaders at self-pickup addresses displaying retail store identification can interact with the community group-buying server via the logistics terminal client to upload product categories and information from the retail store to the community group-buying server for maintenance. Furthermore, updates to product categories and information in the retail store can be simultaneously updated to reflect changes in the retail product information displayed to users after review by the community group-buying server.

[0056] Step S140: Receive the user's operation on retail goods in the community group buying client, generate a retail goods order, and mark the retail goods order as a self-pickup order.

[0057] Specifically, by marking retail orders as self-pickup orders, users can simultaneously pick up both community group-buying and retail goods without having to go to the pickup location multiple times.

[0058] In some embodiments, the step of marking the retail goods order as a self-pickup order can be executed in response to the user's self-pickup address having a community group-buying order awaiting self-pickup. In other words, when a user's self-pickup address has a community group-buying order awaiting self-pickup, the retail goods order can be automatically marked as a self-pickup order, thereby allowing the user to simultaneously pick up both community group-buying goods and retail goods without having to go to the self-pickup address multiple times.

[0059] In some embodiments, the step of generating a community group-buying order can also be performed after generating a retail goods order. For example, after receiving the user's operation on retail goods in the community group-buying client and generating a retail goods order, the community group-buying client can provide the user with community group-buying goods information, receive the user's operation on community group-buying goods in the community group-buying client, and generate a community group-buying order. In this case, the community group-buying order and the retail goods order can have the same self-pickup address. Therefore, this application does not limit the generation order of community group-buying orders and retail goods orders. Users can first purchase community group-buying goods, and then purchase retail goods based on the self-pickup address and its retail markings of the community group-buying order; users can also purchase retail goods based on the location / selected self-pickup address and the retail markings of that self-pickup address, and then provide the user with community group-buying goods based on the self-pickup address of the retail goods order, so as to generate a community group-buying order based on user operation. In some variations, users can only purchase retail goods or only purchase community group-buying goods, and this application is not limited to this.

[0060] In some embodiments of this application, after-sales controls for the retail goods orders can be provided to the community group-buying client and / or the logistics terminal of the user's self-pickup address. Thus, after-sales service can be provided to the user's retail goods by staff at the self-pickup address, or by the community group-buying platform. The after-sales controls can be configured as needed to meet different after-sales requirements in different scenarios.

[0061] In some embodiments of this application, the application can also identify the user's preferred products at the same pickup address through community group-buying orders / retail orders from users at that pickup address. These preferred products can be, for example, products whose sales volume exceeds a set threshold within a set time period (e.g., the previous week, the previous month, etc.) from the community group-buying orders / retail orders of users at the same pickup address, or products ranked in the top N or top M percent of sales (ranked from high to low, where N and M are constants greater than or equal to 1). Once the user's preferred products for the pickup address are determined, the pickup address can purchase a corresponding quantity of these products from the community group-buying platform based on their sales volume within the set time period. In some embodiments, the purchased preferred products can be sold as retail goods at the pickup address, allowing users to directly pick up their orders or purchase them offline. In other embodiments, the purchased preferred products can also be sold as community group-buying goods. This allows for bulk transportation of the same goods, reducing transportation costs for community group-buying goods, and also allows users to pick up their orders in advance.

[0062] In the online retail method based on community group buying provided by this invention, when a user generates a community group buying order by purchasing community group buying goods through a community group buying client, if the self-pickup address of the community group buying order has a retail store identifier, the retail product information associated with the self-pickup address is also provided to the user through the community group buying client. The user can purchase retail goods through the community group buying client and mark the retail product order as a self-pickup order so that it can be picked up together with the goods in the community group buying order. Thus, this application combines the retail business of retail stores with online community group buying, so that the retail products of retail stores can be exposed online through the community group buying client, and the pickup method of community group buying logistics can facilitate users to pick up the retail products themselves.

[0063] See below. Figure 2 , Figure 2 A flowchart illustrating the process of providing a user with candidate self-pickup addresses according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. Figure 1 Before step S130, the following steps are included:

[0064] Step S101: Provide the user with at least one candidate self-pickup address based on the user's location information.

[0065] Specifically, the user's location information can be manually entered by the user. In some variations, the user's location information can also be automatically obtained from the location module of the device where the community group-buying client is located. In this embodiment, the community group-buying client may have permission to read location information from the location module of the device where the community group-buying client is located. This application can implement many more variations, which will not be elaborated here.

[0066] Step S102: In response to the user's selection of the candidate self-pickup address, determine the user's self-pickup address.

[0067] Therefore, users' retail orders can have different self-pickup addresses than community group-buying orders, making the generation of retail orders and community group-buying orders more independent, thus adapting to different user needs.

[0068] See below. Figure 3 , Figure 3 A flowchart illustrating the marking of a retail goods order as a self-pickup order based on a self-pickup control according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. Figure 3 The following steps are shown:

[0069] Step S141: Provide the user with a self-pickup control on the community group buying client.

[0070] Step S142: In response to the user's operation of the self-pickup control, mark the retail goods order as a self-pickup order.

[0071] Specifically, this embodiment provides users with a self-pickup control, allowing users to determine whether to mark a retail goods order as a self-pickup order through user interaction. Therefore, when users wish to receive goods via other methods, they can avoid marking the retail goods order as a self-pickup order by not interacting with the self-pickup control or by interacting with the "Refuse Self-Pickup" button on the self-pickup control.

[0072] See below. Figure 4 , Figure 4 A flowchart is shown illustrating a method for determining whether a retail goods order is marked as a home delivery order or a self-pickup order based on a home delivery control according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 4 The following steps are shown:

[0073] Step S143: Provide the user with a home delivery control in the community group buying client.

[0074] Step S144: In response to the user's operation of the home delivery control, mark the retail goods order as a home delivery order.

[0075] Step S145: In response to the user not operating the home delivery control within a set time period, mark the retail goods order as a self-pickup order.

[0076] Specifically, in this embodiment, a door-to-door delivery control is provided to the user so that the user can select a door-to-door delivery service. Furthermore, after the user selects the door-to-door delivery service, a delivery task can be generated and assigned to a delivery person's task receiving client, so that the delivery person can deliver the retail goods order to the user's door.

[0077] Specifically, home delivery service requires an additional delivery fee. In some implementations, when the total cost of a retail order exceeds a set threshold, the delivery fee can be waived according to preset rules.

[0078] Specifically, in response to the user's operation of the home delivery control, and if the user's pick-up address has a community group-buying order awaiting pickup, the community group-buying order awaiting pickup can be marked as a home delivery order associated with a retail product order. Therefore, the goods from the community group-buying order awaiting pickup and the retail product order can be delivered together, eliminating the need for the user to go to the pick-up address for self-pickup, thus improving the user's delivery experience.

[0079] The above are merely several specific implementations of the online retail method based on community group buying of the present invention. Each implementation can be implemented independently or in combination, and the present invention is not intended to limit it. Furthermore, the flowchart of the present invention is merely illustrative, and the execution order between the steps is not limited thereto. The splitting, merging, sequential exchange, and other synchronous or asynchronous execution methods of the steps are all within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0080] See below. Figure 5 , Figure 5 A block diagram of an online retail device based on community group buying according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. The online retail device 200 based on community group buying includes a community group buying product provision module 210, a community group buying order generation module 220, a retail information provision module 230, and a retail order generation module 240.

[0081] The community group buying product provision module 210 is used by the community group buying client to provide users with community group buying product information.

[0082] The community group-buying order generation module 220 is used to receive the user's operation on the community group-buying product in the community group-buying client, generate a community group-buying order or add the community group-buying product to the shopping cart.

[0083] The retail information providing module 230 is used to provide the user with retail product information associated with the self-pickup address in the community group buying client in response to the user's self-pickup address having a retail store identifier.

[0084] The retail order generation module 240 is used to receive the user's operation on retail goods in the community group buying client, generate a retail goods order, and mark the retail goods order as a self-pickup order.

[0085] In an exemplary embodiment of the online retail device based on community group buying according to the present invention, when a user generates a community group buying order by purchasing community group buying goods through a community group buying client, if the self-pickup address of the community group buying order has a retail store identifier, the retail goods information associated with the self-pickup address is also provided to the user through the community group buying client. The user can purchase retail goods through the community group buying client and mark the retail goods order as a self-pickup order so that it can be picked up together with the goods in the community group buying order. Thus, this application combines the retail business of retail stores with online community group buying, so that the retail goods of retail stores can be exposed online through the community group buying client, and the user can also pick up the retail goods through the logistics terminal of community group buying.
