Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of intelligent navigation, and in particular to route guidance methods, systems, media, and devices based on a central display screen. Background Technology

[0002] With urbanization, most shops are now concentrated in shopping malls. In large cities, these malls are vast, multi-story, and have numerous shops on each floor. From a consumer's perspective, finding their desired shop in such a large mall is extremely difficult because they are unfamiliar with its layout and shop distribution. Therefore, a convenient and reliable route guidance system is crucial.

[0003] Most existing route guidance systems are equipped with electronic displays and touchscreens, allowing shoppers to access mall information and find their way. However, these systems only display the specific location of the destination, such as shop 103 on the third floor. Consumers still need to spend a significant amount of time finding their way based on the exact location, indicating a lack of intelligence in this route guidance method. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To improve the intelligence of route guidance and ensure that consumers can quickly and accurately find their destination in shopping malls, this application provides a route guidance method, system, medium, and device based on a central display screen.

[0005] The first aspect of this application provides a route guidance method based on a central display screen, applied to a central display screen terminal in a shopping mall. The shopping mall also includes a touch screen terminal, and the central display screen terminal is wirelessly connected to the touch screen terminal. The method employs the following technical solution:

[0006] Obtain a route guidance request sent by the touchscreen terminal, the route guidance request including the destination location and the location of the touchscreen terminal;

[0007] Determine the shortest route from the location of the touchscreen terminal to the destination location;

[0008] The shortest route is displayed in the preset area.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, a central display terminal and multiple touch screen terminals are set up in the shopping mall. People can search for their destination on the touch screen terminals and send route guidance request information to the central display terminal. The central display terminal determines the shortest route from the touch screen terminal to the destination and displays the shortest route in a preset area of ​​the central display terminal, so that consumers can quickly and accurately reach their destination under the guidance of the shortest route displayed on the central display, thus improving the intelligence of the route guidance method.

[0010] Optionally, the touchscreen terminal includes multiple terminals, and the step of obtaining the route guidance request sent by the touchscreen terminal includes: receiving at least one route guidance request sent by the touchscreen terminal, prioritizing the route guidance requests according to the order of their times, and selecting the route guidance request with the highest priority as the route guidance request sent by the touchscreen terminal.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, there are multiple touch screen terminals in the shopping mall. Since multiple touch screen terminals may send multiple route guidance requests to the central display terminal, the central display terminal prioritizes the multiple route guidance requests according to the order of time, so that the route guidance requests that were requested earlier are processed first.

[0012] Optionally, determining the shortest route from the location of the touchscreen terminal to the destination location includes: matching the location of the touchscreen terminal and the destination location to a preset shopping mall electronic map; determining a set of all routes from the location of the touchscreen terminal to the destination location in the shopping mall electronic map; and filtering the shortest route from the set of routes.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the location of the touch screen terminal and the destination location are matched into a preset shopping mall electronic map. Since there are multiple routes from the location of the touch screen terminal to the destination location, the shortest route is selected from the shopping mall electronic map as the final displayed route, so that consumers can reach their destination by the shortest route.

[0014] Optionally, displaying the shortest route in the preset area includes: determining whether the preset area is idle; if the preset area is idle, displaying the shortest route in the preset area; if the preset area is not idle, reducing the display area in the preset area by a preset ratio to obtain an idle area, and displaying the shortest route in the idle area.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, when multiple people send route guidance requests from the touch screen terminal to the central display terminal, the preset display area of ​​the central display terminal is limited. Therefore, before displaying the shortest route, it is necessary to determine whether the preset area is available. If it is available, the shortest route is displayed directly in the preset area. If it is not available, the area already displayed in the preset area can be reduced according to a preset ratio to obtain an available area, so that the shortest route can be displayed in the available area, avoiding the situation where consumers have to wait indefinitely and improving the consumer experience.

[0016] Optionally, displaying the shortest route in a preset area includes: determining the device identifier of the touchscreen terminal, and displaying the device identifier and the shortest route in the preset area.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, when multiple shortest routes are displayed on the central display screen, the device identifier of the touch screen terminal is obtained. This identifier can represent the touch screen terminal device, so that the device identifier is displayed in a preset area, making it easy for consumers to distinguish routes and allowing consumers to find their shortest route based on the device identifier.

[0018] Optionally, displaying the shortest route in the preset area includes: calculating the walking time based on the shortest route and a preset normal walking speed; using the walking time as the display duration, and displaying the shortest route in the preset area according to the display duration.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the walking time is calculated based on the shortest route and the preset normal walking speed. The shortest route is then displayed based on the walking time, which allows the display of the shortest route to be synchronized with the consumer's walking time, enabling the consumer to reach their destination according to the displayed shortest route.

[0020] Optionally, the central display terminal stores a shopping mall information database, and the step of displaying the shortest route in a preset area according to the display duration includes: retrieving shop information corresponding to the destination location from the shopping mall information database; and displaying the shortest route and the shop information in the preset area according to the display duration.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, a central display terminal and multiple touch screen terminals are set up in the shopping mall. People can search for their destination on the touch screen terminals and send route guidance request information to the central display terminal. The central display terminal determines the shortest route from the touch screen terminal to the destination and displays the shortest route in a preset area of ​​the central display terminal, so that consumers can quickly and accurately reach their destination under the guidance of the shortest route displayed on the central display.

[0022] A second aspect of this application provides a route guidance system based on a central display screen, the system comprising:

[0023] The route request acquisition module is used to acquire route guidance requests sent by the touch screen terminal, wherein the route guidance request includes the destination location and the location of the touch screen terminal.

[0024] A route determination module is used to determine the shortest route from the location of the touchscreen terminal to the destination location;

[0025] The route display module is used to display the shortest route in a preset area.

[0026] By adopting the above technical solution, a central display screen and multiple touch screen terminals are set up in the shopping mall. People can search for their destination on the touch screen and send route guidance request information to the central display screen terminal. The central display screen terminal determines the shortest route from the touch screen terminal to the destination and displays the shortest route in a preset area, so that consumers can quickly and accurately reach their destination under the guidance of the shortest route displayed on the central display screen.

[0027] A third aspect of this application provides a computer storage medium storing a plurality of instructions adapted for loading by a processor and executing the method steps described above.

[0028] A fourth aspect of this application provides an electronic device comprising: a processor and a memory; wherein the memory stores a computer program adapted to be loaded by the processor and to execute the method steps described above.

[0029] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0030] 1. A central display screen and multiple touch screen terminals are set up in the shopping mall. People can search for their destination on the touch screen terminals and send route guidance request information to the central display screen terminal. The central display screen terminal determines the shortest route from the touch screen terminal location to the destination and displays the shortest route in a preset area so that consumers can quickly and accurately reach their destination under the guidance of the shortest route displayed on the central display screen, thus improving the intelligence of the route guidance method.

[0031] 2. When the preset area is not idle, the area already displayed in the preset area can be reduced by a preset ratio to obtain an idle area, so that the shortest route can be displayed in the idle area, avoiding long waiting time for consumers and improving the consumer experience;

[0032] 3. The walking time is calculated based on the shortest route and the preset normal walking speed. The shortest route is then displayed based on the walking time, which synchronizes the display of the shortest route with the person's walking time, allowing the person to reach their destination according to the displayed shortest route.

[0039] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions in this specification, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this specification will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments.

[0040] In the description of the embodiments in this application, words such as "illustrative," "for example," or "for example" are used to indicate examples, illustrations, or explanations. Any embodiment or design described as "illustrative," "for example," or "for example" in the embodiments of this application should not be construed as being more preferred or advantageous than other embodiments or designs. Rather, the use of words such as "illustrative," "for example," or "for example" is intended to present the relevant concepts in a specific manner.

[0041] In the description of the embodiments of this application, the term "and / or" is merely a description of the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A existing alone, B existing alone, or A and B existing simultaneously. Furthermore, unless otherwise stated, the term "multiple" means two or more. For example, multiple systems refer to two or more systems, and multiple screen terminals refer to two or more screen terminals. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. The terms "comprising," "including," "having," and their variations all mean "including but not limited to," unless otherwise specifically emphasized.

[0042] With the rapid development of the modern economy, people's living standards have improved significantly, and their shopping demands in large shopping malls have become increasingly higher in terms of standards, quality, and diversity. Consequently, the scale of shopping malls has gradually expanded. However, consumers are often unfamiliar with the layout of these malls, wasting considerable time searching for their desired stores within such a large space. For example, if a consumer wants to find a hot pot restaurant, they might use their phone to search and discover it's on the fifth floor. However, in some large shopping malls, each floor has numerous shops, and without knowing the specific location, it takes a lot of time to search for the restaurant one by one, potentially leading to multiple searches due to overlooking or misreading items.

[0043] Although many shopping malls now display numerous directional signs, their guidance is generally not clear enough. Some route guidance systems have electronic displays with touchscreen functionality, allowing shoppers to access mall information. However, these systems only show the specific location of the destination, and consumers still need to spend a significant amount of time finding their way based on that location.

[0044] The technical solution of this application and how the technical solution of this application solves the above-mentioned technical problems will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments. The following embodiments can be combined with each other. For the same or similar probabilities or processes, they may not be described again in some embodiments. The embodiments of this application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0045] The implementation environment of this application can be a shopping mall. This environment embodiment may include: a back-end control terminal, a central display screen terminal, and a touch screen terminal. The back-end control terminal is wirelessly connected to the central display screen terminal and the touch screen terminal respectively. The central display screen terminal is wirelessly connected to the touch screen terminal, and there may be multiple touch screen terminals.

[0046] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, a flowchart illustrating a route guidance method based on a central display screen is presented. This method is mainly applied to central display screen terminals in shopping malls, and the specific methods include:

[0047] Step 101: Obtain the route guidance request sent by the touch screen terminal. The route guidance request includes the destination location and the location of the touch screen terminal.

[0048] In this embodiment of the application, a touch screen terminal refers to a smart terminal that is equipped with an electronic display screen and has touch functionality. The touch screen terminal stores a shopping mall information database, and consumers can click on the electronic display screen to view relevant information about the stores in the shopping mall.

[0049] Specifically, the central display terminal and touchscreen terminals are wirelessly connected, and the touchscreen terminals can be evenly distributed across all floors of the mall. Each touchscreen terminal is equipped with an infrared sensor. When a consumer is outside the range of the infrared sensor, the touchscreen terminal displays pre-set information about the mall's shops, displayed in a scrolling manner. When the infrared sensor detects a person approaching, i.e., when the consumer is within the sensor's range, the touchscreen terminal switches to the main interface. The main interface includes a search function and displays the current touchscreen's ID, such as "You are using machine number 0503," indicating that the consumer is using machine number 3 on the fifth floor of the mall. Consumers can use the search function to search for their desired destination and click the "Generate Route Guidance" button to generate a route guidance request. The central display terminal receives the route guidance request sent by the touchscreen terminal, which may include the touchscreen terminal's ID, destination location, and the touchscreen terminal's location.

[0050] Step 102: Determine the shortest route from the location of the touchscreen terminal to the destination location.

[0051] Specifically, the central display terminal receives the route guidance request sent by the touchscreen terminal. The central display terminal matches the touchscreen terminal's location and destination location in the route guidance request to a pre-set electronic map of the shopping mall. This electronic map contains the location information of all stores in the mall. Since there are multiple routes from the touchscreen terminal's location to the destination location on the mall's electronic map, the shortest route is selected from all routes to ensure the consumer can reach their destination via the shortest route.

[0052] Step 103: Display the shortest route in the preset area.

[0053] In this embodiment, the central display screen of the central display terminal can be, but is not limited to, a cylindrical flexible central display screen. The central display screen can be horizontally divided into five equal areas based on the number of floors in the shopping mall. For example, if the shopping mall has five floors, the central display screen can be horizontally divided into five equal areas, with each floor area corresponding to one of the displayed screen areas, so that consumers on each floor can view the corresponding area on the display screen. The shopping mall integrates shopping, dining, culture, entertainment, and other functions, forming an independent commercial district. In this embodiment, the shopping mall can be a closed-loop layout, with shops arranged around each floor, and the central display terminal positioned in the center of the mall. The central display terminal can correspond one-to-one with the location of the shops arranged around the mall.

[0054] Specifically, the preset area can refer to the equally divided area of ​​the central display screen. When receiving a route guidance request from a touchscreen terminal, the request includes the device identifier of the touchscreen terminal. The device identifier can include the device's serial number, for example, if the serial number is 0503, then the preset area is the central display screen area on the fifth floor of the mall. The shortest route has a starting point and an ending point. The starting point is the location of the touchscreen terminal, and the ending point is the destination location. The display style of the shortest route includes, but is not limited to, displaying it as an arrow. Since the central display screen corresponds one-to-one with the shops on each floor of the mall, the ending point of the shortest route can be the location of the shop directly opposite the central display screen. This allows consumers to quickly and accurately reach their destination under the guidance of the shortest route displayed on the central display screen.

[0055] Please see Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating another embodiment of a route guidance method based on a central display screen provided in this application. Specifically, another embodiment of a route guidance method based on a central display screen includes:

[0056] Step 201: Receive route guidance requests sent by at least one touch screen terminal, prioritize the route guidance requests according to their time sequence, and select the route guidance request with the highest priority as the route guidance request sent by the touch screen terminal.

[0057] Specifically, each floor of the shopping mall can be equipped with multiple touchscreen terminals, as there are many customers who may require route guidance. For example, when the first customer sends a route guidance request using the first touchscreen terminal, and the second and third customers send route guidance requests using the second and third touchscreen terminals respectively, multiple route guidance requests will occur. The central display terminal receives route guidance requests from at least one touchscreen terminal and prioritizes them according to the order in which they were requested. For instance, if the second customer's route guidance request is earlier than the third customer's, then the second customer's request has a higher priority than the third customer's. The route guidance request with the highest priority is then used as the route guidance request sent by the touchscreen terminal.

[0058] Step 202: Match the location of the touch screen terminal and the destination location to the preset shopping mall electronic map, determine the set of all routes from the location of the touch screen terminal to the destination location in the shopping mall electronic map, and filter out the shortest route from the set of routes.

[0059] Specifically, the central display terminal receives the highest-priority route guidance request and matches the touchscreen terminal location and destination location from the request to a pre-set electronic map of the shopping mall. This electronic map contains the location information of all stores in the mall. The electronic map then identifies a set of all routes from the touchscreen terminal location to the destination. Since multiple routes exist, the shortest route is selected from all routes to ensure the consumer reaches their destination using the shortest possible route. The shortest route is the route that starts at the touchscreen terminal location and ends at the destination.

[0060] Step 203: Determine if the preset area is available. If the preset area is available, display the shortest route in the preset area.

[0061] Specifically, in this embodiment, the preset area can be a display area in the central display screen corresponding to the preset touch screen terminal. When there are multiple route guidance requests, the display area of ​​the preset area may be crowded. Before displaying the shortest route in the preset area, it is necessary to determine whether the preset area is free. If the preset area is free, the shortest route is displayed directly in the preset area.

[0062] Step 204: If the preset area is not free, the display area in the preset area is reduced by a preset ratio to obtain a free area, and the shortest route is displayed in the free area.

[0063] Specifically, if the preset area is not empty, it means that the preset area is displaying other shortest routes. In this case, the display area in the preset area is reduced by a preset ratio to obtain an empty area so that the shortest route can be displayed in the empty area.

[0064] For example, the preset area is displaying the first shortest route for the first consumer. When the second consumer comes to the same touch screen terminal to request route guidance, the central display terminal receives the route guidance request from the second consumer sent by the touch screen terminal, determines the second shortest route, and determines that the preset area is not idle. Then, the preset area displaying the first shortest route is reduced by a preset ratio, which can be reduced by 1 / 2, so that the preset area is divided into two equal areas: a first display area and a second display area, so that the first display area continues to display the first shortest route, and the second display area displays the second shortest route.

[0065] In another feasible implementation, if the preset area is not idle, the display area within the preset area is reduced by a preset ratio. The number of reductions can be set to limit the number of reductions to avoid infinite reduction leading to unclear display. For example, it can be set to three times, dividing the preset area into three equal areas to display the shortest routes for three consumers respectively. When the central display screen receives a route guidance request from a fourth consumer, the step of reducing the display area within the preset area by the preset ratio will not be executed, and a waiting prompt message will be sent to the touchscreen terminal so that the touchscreen terminal displays the waiting prompt message. Simultaneously, while the fourth consumer waits in front of the touchscreen terminal, they can operate the touchscreen terminal to view store information in the mall or learn about relevant information about the destination store. For example, if the destination is a hot pot restaurant, the consumer can view user reviews, waiting information, specialty dishes, and prices on the touchscreen terminal. The touchscreen terminal updates the mall's store database in real time.

[0066] Based on the above embodiments, as an optional embodiment, displaying the shortest route in a preset area includes:

[0067] The walking time is calculated based on the shortest route and a preset normal walking speed, which can be 1.5 m / s. Assuming the shortest route is 15 m long, dividing the shortest route length by the normal walking speed yields a walking time of 10 seconds. This walking time is used as the display duration; for example, if the walking time is 10 seconds, the shortest route will be displayed on the central display screen for 10 seconds. This synchronizes the displayed time with the normal walking time, ensuring that consumers reach their destination smoothly under the guidance of the shortest route on the central display screen.

[0068] The central display terminal stores a shopping mall information database, retrieves shop information corresponding to the destination location from the database, and displays the shortest route and shop information in a preset area according to the display duration. The display style of the shortest route in the preset area can be, but is not limited to, an arrow, where the starting point of the arrow is the position of the central display screen directly facing the touchscreen terminal, and the ending point of the arrow is the position of the central display screen directly facing the destination location. The arrow disappears after displaying the corresponding display duration on the central display screen, allowing the next shortest route to be displayed.

[0069] The arrows displayed include the device identifier of the touchscreen terminal. When multiple shortest routes are displayed, consumers can find the corresponding route based on the device identifier. Furthermore, when multiple shortest routes are displayed simultaneously, the arrows can be displayed in different colors to help consumers distinguish their preferred route. The device identifier can be the touchscreen terminal's serial number or a name customized by the consumer when requesting a route on the touchscreen terminal. This design allows consumers to easily identify their displayed route when multiple shortest routes are displayed on the central screen.
