Abstract

This disclosure provides a method, apparatus, electronic device, and storage medium for determining the volume of an item, belonging to the field of Internet technology. The method includes: obtaining a target volume value obtained through manual measurement of the target item's volume; determining the volume type of the target volume value based on the target volume value, the number of manual measurements of the target item, and historical volume values; and determining the target volume value as the volume of the target item if the volume type is a confidence volume. This disclosure, after obtaining the target volume value obtained through manual measurement, does not directly use the target volume value as the volume of the target item. Instead, it determines the volume type of the target item based on the number of manual measurements and historical volume values, and then determines the target volume value as the volume of the target item if the volume type is a confidence volume. This avoids errors caused by human factors and improves the reliability of the object's volume value.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of Internet technology, and in particular to a method, apparatus, electronic device and storage medium for determining the volume of an article. Background Technology

[0002] In modern society, with the development of online shopping, the logistics industry has experienced unprecedented growth. Volume, as a crucial attribute of goods, plays a vital role in the settlement of costs for upstream and downstream warehousing and transportation, as well as in optimizing logistics operations; therefore, it is necessary to determine the volume value of goods.

[0003] In related technologies, the volume of an item is measured manually, and the measurement result is then entered into the system as the volume value of the item.

[0004] However, this method relies on the measurement methods and operational standardization of the personnel, which makes the volume values ​​of the items measured by different personnel highly volatile. Furthermore, the related technology treats the measurement results of each person as the volume value of the item, resulting in poor reliability of the volume value of the item. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This disclosure provides a method, apparatus, electronic device, and storage medium for determining the volume of an article, which can improve the reliability of the article's volume value. The technical solution is as follows:

[0006] Firstly, a method for determining the volume of an article is provided, the method comprising:

[0007] Obtain the target volume value obtained by manually measuring the volume of the target item;

[0008] Based on the target volume value, the number of manual measurements of the target item, and historical volume values, determine the volume type to which the target volume value belongs;

[0009] When the target volume value belongs to the volume type of a confidence volume, the target volume value is determined as the volume of the target item. The confidence volume refers to a real and reliable volume type obtained through multiple manual measurements.

[0010] In another embodiment of this disclosure, obtaining the target volume value obtained by manually measuring the volume of the target item includes:

[0011] When the target item is stored in the warehouse or a volume measurement task for the target item is received, the volume value of the target item is obtained by manual measurement.

[0012] If the manually measured volume value is less than the first reference volume value, obtain the verification result obtained by manually verifying the manually measured volume value.

[0013] If the verification result is "passed", the manually measured volume value will be used as the target volume value.

[0014] In another embodiment of this disclosure, before obtaining the verification result obtained by manually verifying the manually measured volume value when the current manually measured volume value is less than the first reference volume value, the method further includes:

[0015] Obtain the volume values ​​of multiple items of the same category as the target item;

[0016] From the item volume values ​​of the multiple items, remove the item volume values ​​that belong to the abnormal volume type to obtain the item volume values ​​of the remaining items. The abnormal volume refers to an unreliable volume.

[0020] Calculate the average volume value of the multiple remaining items to obtain the average volume value;

[0021] The second reference volume value is obtained by multiplying the average volume value by the second preset ratio.

[0024] If the target item is measured manually only once, the historical volume value is the volume value determined for the target item based on a preset algorithm. When the deviation between the target volume value and the historical volume value is greater than a first value, the volume type of the target volume value is determined to be an abnormal volume.

[0025] When the deviation between the target volume value and the historical volume value is less than the first value, the volume type to which the target volume value belongs is determined to be commodity volume, where commodity volume refers to a volume type with an accuracy lower than the confidence volume.

[0026] In another embodiment of this disclosure, the target item's volume type prior to this measurement is an abnormal volume. Determining the volume type of the target volume value based on the target volume value, the number of manual measurements of the target item, and historical volume values ​​includes:

[0027] If the number of manual measurements of the target item is greater than once, and the deviation between the target volume value and the previous manual measurement volume value is less than a first value and the coefficient of variation is greater than a second value, then the volume type to which the target volume value belongs is determined to be commodity volume.

[0028] When the target item is manually measured at least three times, the deviation between the target volume value and the previous manually measured volume value is less than the first value and the coefficient of variation is less than the second value, and the deviation between the previous two manually measured volume values ​​is less than the first value and the coefficient of variation is less than the second value, the volume type to which the target volume value belongs is determined to be a confidence volume.

[0030] If the target item is manually measured at least three times, and the deviation between the target item and the previous manually measured volume value is less than the third value and the coefficient of variation is greater than the second value, then the volume type of the target volume value is determined to be commodity volume.

[0031] If the target item is manually measured at least three times, and the deviation between the target item and the previous manually measured volume value is greater than the third value, the volume type of the target volume value is determined to be an abnormal volume.

Determining the volume type of the target volume value based on the target volume value, the number of manual measurements of the target item, and historical volume values ​​includes:

[0033] If the number of manual measurements of the target item is at least one, and the deviation between the target volume value and the previous manual measurement volume value is greater than a third value, the volume type to which the target volume value belongs is determined to be an abnormal volume.

[0034] When the target item is manually measured at least three times, the deviation between the target volume value and the previous manually measured volume value is less than the first value and the coefficient of variation is less than the second value, and the deviation between the previous two manually measured volume values ​​is less than the first value and the coefficient of variation is less than the second value, the volume type to which the target volume value belongs is determined to be a confidence volume.

[0036] The acquisition module is used to acquire the target volume value obtained by manually measuring the volume of the target item in this operation.

[0037] The determination module is used to determine the volume type to which the target volume value belongs based on the target volume value, the number of manual measurements of the target item, and historical volume values;

[0038] The determining module is used to determine the target volume value as the volume of the target item when the volume type to which the target volume value belongs is a confidence volume. The confidence volume refers to a real and reliable volume type obtained through multiple manual measurements.

[0048] The prompting module is used to prompt that the manually measured volume value needs to be manually verified when the manually measured volume value is greater than the second reference volume value and less than the first reference volume value.

[0049] In another embodiment of this disclosure, the determining module is configured to: if the number of manual measurements of the target item is one, and the historical volume value is a volume value determined for the target item based on a preset algorithm; if the deviation between the target volume value and the historical volume value is greater than a first value, determine that the volume type of the target volume value is an abnormal volume; and if the deviation between the target volume value and the historical volume value is less than the first value, determine that the volume type of the target volume value is a commodity volume, wherein the commodity volume refers to a volume type with an accuracy lower than the confidence volume.

[0056] The beneficial effects of the technical solutions provided in this disclosure are:

[0057] After obtaining the target volume value of the target item through manual measurement, the target volume value was not directly used as the volume of the target item. Instead, the volume type of the target item was determined based on the number of manual measurements and historical volume values. Then, after the volume type of the target item was determined to be a confidence volume, the target volume value was determined as the volume of the target item. Since the confidence volume is a real and reliable volume obtained through multiple manual measurements, using the confidence volume as the volume of the target item avoids errors caused by human factors and improves the reliability of the determined item volume value.

[0065] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this disclosure clearer, the embodiments of this disclosure will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0066] It is understood that the terms "each," "multiple," and "any," etc., used in the embodiments of this disclosure, include "multiple" (two or more), "each" (each of the corresponding multiples), and "any" (any one of the corresponding multiples). For example, multiple words include 10 words, and "each word" refers to each of the 10 words, while "any word" refers to any one of the 10 words.

[0067] This disclosure provides a method for determining the volume of an article, see [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 1 The method flow provided in this disclosure includes:

[0068] 101. Obtain the target volume value obtained by manually measuring the volume of the target item.

[0069] 102. Determine the volume type to which the target volume value belongs based on the target volume value, the number of manual measurements of the target item, and historical volume values.

[0070] 103. When the volume type of the target volume value is confidence volume, the target volume value is determined as the volume of the target item.

[0071] Among them, confidence volume refers to a reliable volume type obtained through multiple manual measurements.

[0072] The method provided in this embodiment does not directly use the target volume value as the volume of the target item after obtaining the target volume value obtained by manual measurement. Instead, it determines the volume type of the target item based on the number of manual measurements and historical volume values. Then, after determining that the volume type of the target item is a confidence volume, the target volume value is determined as the volume of the target item. Since the confidence volume is a real and reliable volume obtained through multiple manual measurements, using the confidence volume as the volume of the target item avoids errors caused by human factors and improves the reliability of the determined item volume value.

[0073] In another embodiment of this disclosure, obtaining the target volume value obtained by manually measuring the volume of the target item includes:

[0074] When the target item is stored in the warehouse or a volume measurement task for the target item is received, the manually measured volume value of the target item is obtained.

[0075] If the volume value measured manually is less than the first reference volume value, obtain the verification result obtained by manually verifying the volume value measured manually.

[0076] If the verification result is "passed", the manually measured volume value will be used as the target volume value.

[0077] In another embodiment of this disclosure, before obtaining the verification result obtained by manually verifying the measured volume value when the current manually measured volume value is less than the first reference volume value, the method further includes:

[0078] Get the volume values ​​of multiple items of the same category as the target item;

[0079] From the volume values ​​of multiple items, remove the volume values ​​of items whose volume type is abnormal volume to obtain the volume values ​​of the remaining items. Abnormal volume refers to unreliable volume type.

[0080] Get the maximum volume value from the volume values ​​of multiple remaining items;

[0081] The first reference volume value is obtained by multiplying the maximum volume value by the first preset ratio.

[0082] In another embodiment of this disclosure, the method further includes:

[0083] Calculate the average volume of multiple remaining items to obtain the average volume value;

[0084] The second reference volume value is obtained by multiplying the average volume value by the second preset ratio.

[0085] If the measured volume value is greater than the second reference volume value but less than the first reference volume value, it indicates that the measured volume value needs to be manually verified.

[0086] In another embodiment of this disclosure, determining the volume type of the target volume value based on the target volume value, the number of manual measurements of the target item, and historical volume values ​​includes:

[0087] If the target item is measured manually only once, the historical volume value is the volume value determined for the target item based on a preset algorithm. When the deviation between the target volume value and the historical volume value is greater than a first value, the volume type of the target volume value is determined to be an abnormal volume.

[0088] When the deviation between the target volume value and the historical volume value is less than the first value, the volume type to which the target volume value belongs is determined to be commodity volume. This commodity volume refers to a volume type with an accuracy lower than the confidence volume.

[0089] In another embodiment of this disclosure, the target item's volume type prior to this measurement is an abnormal volume. The volume type of the target volume value is determined based on the target volume value, the number of manual measurements of the target item, and historical volume values, including:

[0090] If the target item is manually measured more than once, and the deviation between the target volume value and the previous manually measured volume value is less than the first value and the coefficient of variation is greater than the second value, the volume type of the target volume value is determined to be commodity volume.

[0091] When the target item is manually measured at least three times, the deviation between the target volume value and the previous manually measured volume value is less than the first value and the coefficient of variation is less than the second value, and the deviation between the previous two manually measured volume values ​​is less than the first value and the coefficient of variation is less than the second value, the volume type to which the target volume value belongs is determined to be a confidence volume.

[0092] In another embodiment of this disclosure, the volume type of the target item prior to this measurement is a confidence volume. The volume type of the target volume value is determined based on the target volume value, the number of manual measurements of the target item, and historical volume values, including:

[0093] When the target item is manually measured at least three times, and the deviation between the target item and the previous manually measured volume value is less than the third value and the coefficient of variation is greater than the second value, the volume type of the target volume value is determined to be commodity volume.

[0094] If the target item is manually measured at least three times, and the deviation between the target item and the previous manually measured volume value is greater than the third value, the volume type of the target volume value is determined to be an abnormal volume.

[0095] In another embodiment of this disclosure, the volume type of the target item prior to this measurement is commodity volume. The volume type of the target volume value is determined based on the target volume value, the number of manual measurements of the target item, and historical volume values, including:

[0096] If the target item is manually measured at least once, and the deviation between the target volume value and the previous manually measured volume value is greater than a third value, the volume type of the target volume value is determined to be an abnormal volume.

[0097] When the target item is manually measured at least three times, the deviation between the target volume value and the previous manually measured volume value is less than the first value and the coefficient of variation is less than the second value, and the deviation between the previous two manually measured volume values ​​is less than the first value and the coefficient of variation is less than the second value, the volume type to which the target volume value belongs is determined to be a confidence volume.

[0098] All of the above-mentioned optional technical solutions can be combined in any way to form optional embodiments of this disclosure, and will not be described in detail here.

[0099] This disclosure provides a method for determining the volume of an item. Taking an electronic device as an example, the electronic device can be a terminal with certain computing capabilities, such as a smartphone, tablet, or laptop, or it can be a server, such as a single physical server or a server cluster or distributed system composed of multiple physical servers. This disclosure does not specifically limit the type of electronic device. See also Figure 2 The method flow provided in this disclosure includes:

[0100] 201. When the target item is stored in the warehouse or a volume measurement task for the target item is received, the electronic device obtains the manually measured volume value of the target item.

[0101] Within the logistics center, when a target item is stored in a warehouse (including a central warehouse and collaborative warehouses) or a volume measurement task for a target item is received from the warehouse, an electronic device scans the target item's barcode to confirm that the item is the one requiring measurement. This completes the device's location, allowing staff to manually measure the target item's volume. After measuring the target item's volume, staff will take a photo for archiving and then upload the manually measured volume value and the photo to the electronic device.

[0102] 202. When the manually measured volume value is less than the first reference volume value, the electronic device acquires the verification result obtained by manually verifying the manually measured volume value.

[0103] Once the manually measured volume value is obtained, the electronic device will perform a red and yellow line verification based on a first reference volume value and a second reference volume value. The first reference volume value is used for red line verification of the manually measured volume value. If the manually measured volume value is greater than or equal to the first reference volume value, the staff cannot submit the manually measured volume value to the electronic device. In this case, it is necessary to contact the supervisor for special handling, such as re-measurement. If the manually measured volume value is less than the first reference volume value, the staff can submit the manually measured volume value to the electronic device. The supervisor will then perform a manual verification based on the manually measured volume value and a photo of the target item, obtain the manual verification result, and then report the manual verification result to the electronic device.

[0104] The method for determining the first reference volume value includes, but is not limited to: an electronic device acquiring the volume values ​​of multiple items of the same category as the target item; removing the volume values ​​of items with abnormal volume types from the multiple item volume values ​​to obtain the volume values ​​of multiple remaining items; then obtaining the maximum volume value from the multiple remaining item volume values; and finally calculating the product of the maximum volume value and a first preset ratio to obtain the first reference volume value. Here, abnormal volume refers to an unreliable volume type. The first preset ratio can be 120%, 130%, etc., and this embodiment does not specifically limit the size of the first preset ratio.

[0105] The second reference volume value is less than the first reference volume value. This second reference volume value is used to verify the manually measured volume value using the yellow line. When the manually measured volume value is less than the second reference volume value, the staff can submit the manually measured volume value to the electronic device, but the electronic device will not prompt the staff to perform manual verification. When the manually measured volume value is greater than the second reference volume value and less than the first reference volume value, the staff submits the manually measured volume value to the electronic device, and the electronic device will prompt the staff to perform manual verification of the manually measured volume value.

[0106] The method for determining the second reference volume value includes, but is not limited to: an electronic device calculating the average volume value of multiple remaining items to obtain an average volume value, and then calculating the product of the average volume value and a second preset ratio to obtain the second reference volume value. The second preset ratio can be 110%, 120%, etc., and this embodiment does not specifically limit the size of the second preset ratio.

[0107] It should be noted that, since the second reference volume value is less than the first reference volume value, the actual situations for verifying the manually measured volume value include the following: when the manually measured volume value is less than the second reference volume value (i.e., the manually measured volume value does not reach the yellow line), manual verification is required; when the manually measured volume value is greater than or equal to the second reference volume value and less than the first reference volume value (i.e., the manually measured volume value reaches the yellow line but does not reach the red line), manual verification is required. In other words, whenever the manually measured volume value is less than the first reference volume value, manual verification of the manually measured volume value is required.

[0108] 203. When the verification result is "passed", the electronic device will use the manually measured volume value as the target volume value.

[0109] If the verification result is "passed," it means that the error of the manually measured volume value is minimal after preliminary testing by the electronic equipment and verification by the supervisor. Therefore, the electronic equipment can use this manually measured volume value as the target volume value. This method improves the accuracy of the determined item volume value and reduces the error caused by manual measurement.

[0110] In another embodiment of this disclosure, if the verification result is that the verification fails, it indicates that the error of the manually measured volume value is large after the preliminary detection by the electronic device and the verification by the supervisor. In order to improve the accuracy of the volume value of the target item, the electronic device will invalidate the manually measured volume value and will not use the manually measured volume value as the volume of the target item.

[0111] 204. The electronic device determines the volume type of the target volume value based on the target volume value, the number of times the target item has been manually measured, and historical volume values.

[0112] In this embodiment, volume types include algorithm-mined volume, product volume, abnormal volume, and confidence volume. When a new item is added to the warehouse without volume information, the electronic device uses a preset algorithm to determine a volume for the new item. The volume type to which this volume belongs is the algorithm-mined volume. This preset algorithm is an algorithm that can determine the volume value of an item based on historical data of items in the warehouse or external data. Since the algorithm-mined volume is a volume value assigned by an algorithm and has not been manually measured, its accuracy is lower than that of product volume and confidence volume.

[0113] When the deviation between the manually measured volume value of an item and the volume value mined by the algorithm or the previous manually measured volume value is less than a first value, the volume type to which the manually measured volume value belongs is commodity volume. Commodity volume is more accurate than algorithm-mined volume and abnormal volume, but less accurate than confidence volume. The first value can be 30%, 40%, etc.; this embodiment uses a first value of 30% as an example for illustration.

[0114] If the deviation between the manually measured volume of an item and the volume value mined by the algorithm or the previous manually measured volume value is greater than a first value, the volume type to which the manually measured volume value belongs is an abnormal volume. An abnormal volume indicates that the volume value of the item fluctuates greatly and is unreliable; among all volume types, abnormal volumes have the lowest accuracy.

[0115] When the volume of an item is measured manually multiple times (this embodiment uses three or more measurements as an example), and the deviation between each manually measured volume value and the previous manually measured volume value is less than a third value, and the coefficient of variation between each manually measured volume value and the previous manually measured volume value is less than a second value, the volume type to which this manually measured volume value belongs is a confidence volume. Among all volume types, the confidence volume has the highest accuracy. The second value can be 0.2, 0.3, etc., and the third value can be 20%, 30%, etc. This embodiment uses a second value of 0.2 and a third value of 20% as an example for explanation.

[0116] The above algorithm can convert between the four volume types: volume, product volume, anomaly volume, and confidence volume. For details on the conversion process, please refer to [link / reference needed]. Figure 3 :

[0117] The sources of product volume include, but are not limited to, the following situations: 1) When the deviation between the manually measured volume value obtained from the first manual measurement of an item and the volume value mined by the algorithm is less than a first value, the algorithm-mined volume becomes the product volume; 2) When the manually measured volume value obtained from the second manual measurement of an item with an abnormal volume type is less than the first value, but the coefficient of variation is greater than the second value, the abnormal volume becomes the product volume; 3) When the manually measured volume value obtained from the second manual measurement of an item with a confidence volume type is less than the third value, but the coefficient of variation is greater than the second value, the confidence volume will become the product volume.

[0118] The sources of abnormal volumes include, but are not limited to, the following situations: 1) If the deviation between the manually measured volume value of an item obtained from the first manual measurement and the volume value mined by the algorithm is greater than a first value, then the volume mined by the algorithm becomes an abnormal volume; 2) If the deviation between the manually measured volume value of an item of volume type "commodity volume" obtained from the first manual measurement and the previous manually measured volume value is greater than a third value, then the commodity volume will become an abnormal volume; 3) If the deviation between the manually measured volume value of an item of volume type "confidence volume" obtained from the first manual measurement and the previous manually measured volume value is greater than a third value, then the confidence volume will become an abnormal volume.

[0119] The sources of confidence volume include, but are not limited to, the following situations: 1) When an item with a volume type of commodity volume is measured manually three or more times, and the deviation between each manual measurement value and the previous manual measurement value is less than the third value, and the coefficient of variation is less than the second value, then the commodity volume will become a confidence volume; 2) When an item with a volume type of abnormal volume is measured manually three or more times, and the deviation between each manual measurement value and the previous manual measurement value is less than the third value, and the coefficient of variation is less than the second value, then the abnormal volume will become a confidence volume.

[0120] The above algorithm mines the conversion relationships between four volume types: volume, product volume, abnormal volume, and confidence volume. When electronic devices determine the volume type of a target volume value based on the target volume value, the number of times the target item has been manually measured, and historical volume values, the following situations apply, including but not limited to:

[0121] In the first scenario, if the target item is measured manually only once, the historical volume value is the volume determined for the target item based on a preset algorithm. When the deviation between the target volume value and the historical volume value is greater than a first value, the electronic device determines that the volume type of the target volume value is an abnormal volume.

[0122] In the second scenario, when the deviation between the target volume value and the historical volume value is less than the first value, the electronic device determines that the volume type of the target volume value is the commodity volume.

[0123] In the third scenario, if the target item was classified as an abnormal volume before this measurement, and the number of manual measurements of the target item is greater than one, the deviation between the target volume value and the previous manual measurement volume value is less than the first value and the coefficient of variation is greater than the second value, the electronic device determines that the volume type of the target volume value is commodity volume.

[0124] In the fourth scenario, if the target item was classified as an abnormal volume before this measurement, and the target item has been manually measured at least three times, the deviation between the target volume value and the previous manual measurement volume value is less than the first value and the coefficient of variation is less than the second value, and the deviation between the previous two manual measurement volume values ​​is less than the first value and the coefficient of variation is less than the second value, the electronic device determines that the volume type of the target volume value is a confidence volume.

[0125] In the fifth scenario, if the target item was classified as a confidence volume before this measurement, and the target item has been manually measured at least three times, and the deviation between the target item and the previous manually measured volume value is less than the third value and the coefficient of variation is greater than the second value, the electronic device determines that the volume type of the target volume value is commodity volume.

[0126] In the sixth scenario, if the target item was classified as a confidence volume before this measurement, and the target item has been manually measured at least three times, and the deviation between the target item and the previous manual measurement volume value is greater than the third value, the electronic device determines that the target volume value belongs to an abnormal volume.

[0127] In the seventh scenario, if the target item was classified as a commodity volume before this measurement, and the target item has been manually measured at least once, and the deviation between the target volume value and the previous manual measurement volume value is greater than the third value, the electronic device determines that the target volume value belongs to an abnormal volume.

[0128] In the eighth scenario, if the target item was classified as commodity volume before this measurement, and the target item has been manually measured at least three times, the deviation between the target volume value and the previous manually measured volume value is less than the first value and the coefficient of variation is less than the second value, and the deviation between the previous two manually measured volume values ​​is less than the first value and the coefficient of variation is less than the second value, the electronic device determines that the volume type of the target volume value is a confidence volume.

[0129] 205. When the target volume value belongs to the volume type of confidence volume, the electronic device determines the target volume value as the volume of the target item.

[0130] Once the target volume value is determined to be of the confidence volume type based on step 205 above, the electronic device identifies the target volume value as the volume of the target item. When the volume of the target item is identified as the target volume value, the electronic device also stores this target volume value in a volume truth database, enabling subsequent acquisition of the target volume value based on this database.

[0131] The process of determining the volume value of the above-mentioned items will be described below in conjunction with... Figure 4 Please provide a detailed explanation.

[0132] See Figure 4 When the central warehouse or collaborative warehouse receives goods, or receives a measurement task, electronic equipment scans the product barcode of the item to be measured to locate it. Then, staff measure the volume of the item, obtain a manual volume value, take a photo, and upload it to the electronic equipment. The electronic equipment verifies the manual volume value using red and yellow lines. If the verification passes, it is submitted to management for manual review. If the manual volume value fails, it is invalidated, and the volume of the item is not updated. If the manual volume value passes the review, the volume of the item is updated based on the manual measurement.

[0133] The method provided in this embodiment does not directly use the target volume value as the volume of the target item after obtaining the target volume value obtained by manual measurement. Instead, it determines the volume type of the target item based on the number of manual measurements and historical volume values. Then, after determining that the volume type of the target item is a confidence volume, the target volume value is determined as the volume of the target item. Since the confidence volume is a real and reliable volume obtained through multiple manual measurements, using the confidence volume as the volume of the target item avoids errors caused by human factors and improves the reliability of the determined item volume value.

[0134] See Figure 5 This disclosure provides an apparatus for determining the volume of an article, the apparatus comprising:

[0135] The acquisition module 501 is used to acquire the target volume value obtained by manually measuring the volume of the target item in this operation;

[0136] The determination module 502 is used to determine the volume type of the target volume value based on the target volume value, the number of manual measurements of the target item, and historical volume values.

[0137] The determination module 502 is used to determine the target volume value as the volume of the target item when the volume type to which the target volume value belongs is a confidence volume. A confidence volume refers to a real and reliable volume type obtained through multiple manual measurements.

[0138] In another embodiment of this disclosure, the acquisition module 501 is used to acquire the manually measured volume value of the target item when the target item is stored in the warehouse or when a volume measurement task for the target item is received; when the manually measured volume value is less than the first reference volume value, acquire the verification result obtained by manually verifying the manually measured volume value; when the verification result is that the verification is passed, use the manually measured volume value as the target volume value.

[0139] In another embodiment of this disclosure, the device further includes:

[0140] The acquisition module 501 is also used to acquire the volume values ​​of multiple items of the same category as the target item;

[0141] The removal module is used to remove the volume values ​​of items with the abnormal volume type from the volume values ​​of multiple items, and obtain the volume values ​​of multiple remaining items. Abnormal volume refers to unreliable volume type.

[0142] The acquisition module 501 is also used to obtain the maximum volume value from the volume values ​​of multiple remaining items;

[0143] The calculation module is capable of calculating the product of the maximum volume value and the first preset ratio to obtain the first reference volume value.

[0144] In another embodiment of this disclosure, the device further includes:

[0145] The calculation module is also used to calculate the average volume value of multiple remaining items to obtain the average volume value;

[0146] The calculation module is also used to calculate the product of the average volume value and the second preset ratio to obtain the second reference volume value;

[0147] The prompt module is used to prompt that the manually measured volume value needs to be manually verified when the current manually measured volume value is greater than the second reference volume value and less than the first reference volume value.

[0148] In another embodiment of this disclosure, the determining module 502 is configured to determine the volume type of the target volume value as an abnormal volume if the number of manual measurements of the target item is one and the historical volume value is a volume value determined for the target item based on a preset algorithm; and if the deviation between the target volume value and the historical volume value is greater than a first value, the abnormal volume refers to an unreliable volume. If the deviation between the target volume value and the historical volume value is less than the first value, the volume type of the target volume value is determined as a commodity volume, which refers to a volume type with an accuracy lower than a reliable volume.

[0149] In another embodiment of this disclosure, if the target item was classified as an abnormal volume before the current measurement, the determination module 502 is used to determine the volume type of the target volume value as commodity volume when the number of manual measurements of the target item is greater than one, the deviation between the target volume value and the previous manual measurement volume value is less than a first value and the coefficient of variation is greater than a second value; and to determine the volume type of the target volume value as a confidence volume when the number of manual measurements of the target item is at least three, the deviation between the target volume value and the previous manual measurement volume value is less than a first value and the coefficient of variation is less than a second value, and the deviation between the two previous manual measurement volume values ​​is less than a first value and the coefficient of variation is less than a second value.

[0150] In another embodiment of this disclosure, the volume type of the target item before this measurement is a confidence volume. The determination module 502 is used to determine the volume type of the target volume value as commodity volume when the number of manual measurements of the target item is at least three times, the deviation between the target item and the previous manual measurement volume value is less than a third value and the coefficient of variation is greater than a second value; and to determine the volume type of the target volume value as abnormal volume when the number of manual measurements of the target item is at least three times, the deviation between the target item and the previous manual measurement volume value is greater than a third value.

[0151] In another embodiment of this disclosure, the volume type of the target item before this measurement is commodity volume. The determination module 502 is used to determine the volume type of the target volume value as abnormal volume when the number of manual measurements of the target item is at least more than one and the deviation between the target volume value and the previous manual measurement volume value is greater than a third value; and to determine the volume type of the target volume value as a confidence volume when the number of manual measurements of the target item is at least three or more, the deviation between the target volume value and the previous manual measurement volume value is less than a first value and the coefficient of variation is less than a second value, and the deviation between the previous two manual measurement volume values ​​is less than a first value and the coefficient of variation is less than a second value.

[0152] In summary, the apparatus provided in this embodiment does not directly use the target volume value obtained by manual measurement of the target item as the volume of the target item after obtaining the target volume value. Instead, it determines the volume type of the target item based on the number of manual measurements and historical volume values. Then, after determining that the volume type of the target item is a confidence volume, the target volume value is determined as the volume of the target item. Since the confidence volume is a real and reliable volume obtained through multiple manual measurements, using the confidence volume as the volume of the target item avoids errors caused by human factors and improves the reliability of the determined item volume value.
