[0045] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0046] This application provides a data acquisition method, apparatus, computer-readable storage medium, and Bluetooth module for a transport container.

[0047] Please see Figure 1a , Figure 1a This is a schematic diagram of a data acquisition system inside a transport container provided in an embodiment of this application. The system may include at least one consignee device 1000 and at least one Bluetooth module 2000. The consignee device 1000 can be a computer device such as a mobile phone, tablet, or personal digital assistant. At least one Bluetooth module is installed on the consignee device 1000, and various business applications, such as interactive applications, games, and image viewing applications, may also be installed on it. A data acquisition sensor is provided on the Bluetooth module 2000 to collect environmental data such as temperature and humidity inside the transport container. The Bluetooth module 2000 and the consignee device 1000 can establish a Bluetooth connection for data transmission. The user can activate the Bluetooth communication function of the Bluetooth module in the consignee device 1000 and establish a Bluetooth connection with the Bluetooth module 2000, thereby triggering the Bluetooth module 2000 to send the environmental data collected by the data acquisition sensor on the Bluetooth module 2000 to the consignee device 1000.

[0048] This application provides a data acquisition method for a transport container, which can be executed by an electronic device. For example... Figure 1a As shown, the Bluetooth module 2000 controls the data acquisition sensor to acquire environmental data inside the transport container at a first preset time interval and stores it in a designated storage area of ​​the Bluetooth module. When a connection establishment request is detected from a device to be connected, a connection is established with the device to be connected, and it is determined whether the device to be connected is a device in a designated device set. If the device to be connected is a device in the designated device set, the environmental data stored in the designated storage area of ​​the Bluetooth module is sent to the device to be connected. Thus, by installing a Bluetooth module with a data acquisition sensor inside the transport container, environmental data inside the container is collected and sent to devices in a designated device set, enabling data reconstruction during transportation. This allows the recipient to view environmental data such as temperature and humidity during transportation, improving the supervision of cold chain transportation.

[0049] It should be noted that, Figure 1aThe schematic diagram of the data acquisition system inside the transport container shown is merely an example. The data acquisition system and scenario inside the transport container described in this application embodiment are for the purpose of more clearly illustrating the technical solutions of this application embodiment and do not constitute a limitation on the technical solutions provided by this application embodiment. As those skilled in the art will know, with the evolution of the data acquisition system inside the transport container and the emergence of new business scenarios, the technical solutions provided by this application embodiment are also applicable to similar technical problems.

[0050] In this embodiment, the description will focus on the data acquisition device inside the transport container, which can be integrated into an electronic device with storage unit and a microprocessor for computing power.

[0051] Please see Figure 1b , Figure 1b This is a flowchart illustrating a data acquisition method for a transport container provided in an embodiment of this application. The data acquisition method for a transport container includes:

[0052] In step 101, the control data acquisition sensor acquires environmental data inside the transport container at a first preset time interval and stores it in the designated storage area of ​​the Bluetooth module.

[0053] Before the Bluetooth module is installed in the transport container, the data acquisition time interval of the data acquisition sensor installed on the Bluetooth module or the Bluetooth module can be adjusted by debugging software, so that during the transportation process, the data acquisition sensor can be controlled to acquire environmental data inside the transport container according to the adjusted time interval (first preset time interval).

[0054] Specifically, if the debugging software is used to debug the processor inside the Bluetooth module, then during transportation, the data acquisition interval of the data acquisition sensor is controlled by the processor inside the Bluetooth module; if the debugging software is used to debug the data acquisition sensor, then during transportation, the data acquisition interval of the data acquisition sensor is used to collect environmental data according to the pre-determined data acquisition interval.

[0055] Among them, the environmental data includes environmental data such as temperature and humidity inside the enclosure.

[0056] In step 102, when a connection establishment request is detected from a device to be connected, a connection is established with the device to be connected, and it is determined whether the device to be connected is a device in the specified device set.

[0057] The monitoring methods for the internal environmental data of the container during transportation in this application are divided into two types. The first type is during the transportation delivery stage, where the consignee establishes a communication connection with the Bluetooth module through the consignee's device, thereby triggering the Bluetooth module to send the environmental data collected by its data acquisition sensors to the consignee's device. The second type is during the transportation stage, where the Bluetooth module sends the environmental data collected by its data acquisition sensors to the transport driver's electronic device, and the transport driver's electronic device uploads the environmental data to the waybill platform. The consignee can obtain the environmental data during the transportation stage from the waybill platform through the waybill identifier.

[0058] Specifically, for different types, the distinction can be made by establishing a connection with the device to be connected and determining whether the device to be connected is a device in a specified device set. For the first type, after the waybill is confirmed, the consignee can provide the device code information of the consignee's device and enter it into the Bluetooth module, thereby identifying the consignee's device as a device in the specified device set. For the second type, since the device to be connected is the transport driver's electronic device, not the consignee's device, the device to be connected is not a device in the specified device set, and thus the type is distinguished by the above method.

[0059] In step 103, if the device to be connected is a device in the specified device set, then the environmental data stored in the specified storage area of ​​the Bluetooth module is sent to the device to be connected.

[0060] If the device to be connected is a device in the specified device set, it is classified as the first type. If the device to be connected is the consignee device, the environmental data collected by the data acquisition sensor and stored in the specified storage area of ​​the Bluetooth module can be directly sent to the device to be connected so that the consignee can monitor the cold chain transportation process through the environmental data received by the consignee device.

[0061] In some embodiments, the Bluetooth module is equipped with a near-field communication device. When a connection establishment request is detected from a device to be connected, the step of establishing a connection with the device to be connected includes:

[0062] (1) When a connection establishment request sent by a device to be connected is detected, the connection establishment type requested by the connection establishment request is determined;

[0063] (2) If the connection establishment request requests a near-field communication type, then control the near-field communication device to establish a near-field communication connection with the device to be connected;

[0064] The step of sending environmental data stored in a designated storage area of ​​the Bluetooth module to the device to be connected if the device to be connected is a device in a specified set of devices includes:

[0065] If the device to be connected is a device in the specified device set, then the environmental data stored in the specified storage area of ​​the Bluetooth module will be sent to the device to be connected through the near field communication connection.

[0066] The Bluetooth module may include a Near Field Communication (NFC) device. Therefore, when the Bluetooth module establishes a connection with the device to be connected, by determining the connection establishment type requested in the connection establishment request, it can be determined whether to use the Bluetooth technology of the Bluetooth module itself for data transmission or to use the NFC technology inside the Bluetooth module for data transmission.

[0067] Specifically, when the connection establishment request requests a connection type of near-field communication (NFC), the near-field communication device is controlled to establish a NFC connection with the device to be connected. After the NFC connection is established, if the device to be connected is a device in a specified set of devices, environmental data stored in a specified storage area of ​​the Bluetooth module is sent to the device to be connected via the NFC connection.

[0068] In some embodiments, the method further includes:

[0069] If the connection establishment request requests a Bluetooth connection, then the near-field communication device is controlled to establish a Bluetooth connection with the device to be connected.

[0070] The step of sending environmental data stored in a designated storage area of ​​the Bluetooth module to the device to be connected if the device to be connected is a device in a specified set of devices includes:

[0071] If the device to be connected is a device in the specified device set, then the environmental data stored in the specified storage area of ​​the Bluetooth module will be sent to the device to be connected via the Bluetooth connection.

[0072] Specifically, when the connection establishment request requests a Bluetooth connection, the near-field communication device establishes a Bluetooth connection with the device to be connected. After the Bluetooth connection is established, if the device to be connected is a device in a specified set of devices, environmental data stored in a specified storage area of ​​the Bluetooth module is sent to the device to be connected via the Bluetooth connection.

[0073] In some embodiments, the method further includes:

[0074] (1) If the device to be connected is not a device in the specified device set, the environmental data stored in the specified storage area of ​​the Bluetooth module, the waybill identifier of the current waybill, and the waybill platform corresponding to the current waybill will be sent to the device to be connected.

[0075] (2) Trigger the device to be connected to send the environmental data and the waybill identifier to the waybill platform.

[0076] If the device to be connected is not one of the devices in the specified device set, then the device to be connected is the transport driver's electronic device, i.e., the second type. The environmental data stored in the specified storage area of ​​the Bluetooth module, the waybill identifier of the current waybill, and the waybill platform corresponding to the current waybill are sent to the device to be connected, thereby triggering the device to be connected to send the environmental data and the waybill identifier to the waybill platform.

[0077] Specifically, since environmental data needs to be sent to the waybill platform via the transport driver's electronic device, the following waybill information is required before uploading: 1. The waybill identifier of the current waybill (e.g., waybill number); 2. The waybill platform corresponding to the current waybill (e.g., the waybill platform of the selected courier). The waybill information can be sent to the device to be connected via Bluetooth. Upon receiving the above waybill information, the device to be connected is triggered to send the environmental data corresponding to the current waybill identifier to the obtained waybill platform.

[0078] In some implementations, the step of sending environmental data stored in a designated storage area of ​​the Bluetooth module, the waybill identifier of the current waybill, and the waybill platform corresponding to the current waybill to the device to be connected if the device to be connected is not a device in the specified device set includes:

[0079] If the device to be connected is not a device in the specified device set, then the environmental data stored in the specified storage area of ​​the Bluetooth module, the waybill identifier of the current waybill, and the waybill platform corresponding to the current waybill are sent to the device to be connected according to the second preset time interval.

[0080] There are two ways to trigger the device to be connected to send environmental data to the waybill platform. The first is during the transportation delivery stage, when the transport driver confirms the completion of the waybill on his electronic device and then sends it. The second is during the transportation process, when the device to be connected periodically reports data to the waybill platform.

[0081] Specifically, for the second scenario, the Bluetooth module can send environmental data, the waybill identifier of the current waybill, and the waybill platform corresponding to the current waybill to the device to be connected according to the second time interval. After each transmission, the device to be connected will be triggered to report the environmental data corresponding to the current waybill to the waybill platform.

[0082] In some embodiments, this application also provides a data acquisition method within a shipping container, characterized in that it is applied to a waybill platform and includes:

[0083] (1) Receive the environmental data and the waybill identifier;

[0084] (2) Write the environmental data into the waybill data list corresponding to the waybill identifier.

[0085] In order to facilitate the consignee's supervision of cold chain transportation, after receiving the environmental data and the waybill identifier, the waybill platform can write the environmental data into the waybill data list corresponding to the waybill identifier.

[0086] In some embodiments, the method further includes:

[0087] (1) Receive an environmental data query request, wherein the environmental data query request carries the target waybill identifier of the data to be queried;

[0088] (2) Determine the target waybill data list corresponding to the target waybill identifier based on the target waybill identifier;

[0089] (3) Return the target environment data in the target waybill data list to the target device that initiated the environment data query request.

[0090] Specifically, for consignees logging into the waybill platform to view and monitor environmental data, before viewing and monitoring, the consignee can be required to enter the target waybill identifier of the data to be queried, thereby generating an environmental data query request; the waybill platform determines the target waybill data list corresponding to the target waybill identifier based on the target waybill identifier; and returns the target environmental data in the target waybill data list to the target device that initiated the environmental data query request.

[0091] As described above, this embodiment of the application controls the data acquisition sensor to acquire environmental data inside the transport container at a first preset time interval and stores it in a designated storage area of ​​the Bluetooth module. When a connection establishment request is detected from a device to be connected, a connection is established with the device to be connected, and it is determined whether the device to be connected is a device in a designated device set. If the device to be connected is a device in the designated device set, the environmental data stored in the designated storage area of ​​the Bluetooth module is sent to the device to be connected. Thus, by installing a Bluetooth module with a data acquisition sensor inside the transport container, environmental data inside the container is collected and sent to devices in a designated device set, enabling data reconstruction during transportation. This allows the recipient to view environmental data such as temperature and humidity during transportation, improving the supervision of cold chain transportation.

[0092] Please refer to Figure 1c , Figure 1c This is a schematic diagram of a second process for a data acquisition method inside a transport container provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0093] In step 201, the control data acquisition sensor acquires environmental data inside the transport container at a first preset time interval and stores it in the designated storage area of ​​the Bluetooth module.

[0094] Before the Bluetooth module is installed in the transport container, the data acquisition time interval of the data acquisition sensor installed on the Bluetooth module or the Bluetooth module can be adjusted by debugging software, so that during the transportation process, the data acquisition sensor can be controlled to acquire environmental data inside the transport container according to the adjusted time interval (first preset time interval).

[0095] Specifically, if the debugging software is used to debug the processor inside the Bluetooth module, then during transportation, the data acquisition interval of the data acquisition sensor is controlled by the processor inside the Bluetooth module; if the debugging software is used to debug the data acquisition sensor, then during transportation, the data acquisition interval of the data acquisition sensor is used to collect environmental data according to the pre-determined data acquisition interval.

[0096] Among them, the environmental data includes environmental data such as temperature and humidity inside the enclosure.

[0097] In step 202, when a connection establishment request is detected from a device to be connected, a connection is established with the device to be connected, and it is determined whether the device to be connected is a device in the specified device set.

[0098] The monitoring methods for the internal environmental data of the container during transportation in this application are divided into two types. The first type is during the transportation delivery stage, where the consignee establishes a communication connection with the Bluetooth module through the consignee's device, thereby triggering the Bluetooth module to send the environmental data collected by its data acquisition sensors to the consignee's device. The second type is during the transportation stage, where the Bluetooth module sends the environmental data collected by its data acquisition sensors to the transport driver's electronic device, and the transport driver's electronic device uploads the environmental data to the waybill platform. The consignee can obtain the environmental data during the transportation stage from the waybill platform through the waybill identifier.

[0099] Specifically, for different types, the distinction can be made by establishing a connection with the device to be connected and determining whether the device to be connected is a device in a specified device set. For the first type, after the waybill is confirmed, the consignee can provide the device code information of the consignee's device and enter it into the Bluetooth module, thereby identifying the consignee's device as a device in the specified device set. For the second type, since the device to be connected is the transport driver's electronic device, not the consignee's device, the device to be connected is not a device in the specified device set, and thus the type is distinguished by the above method.

[0100] In step 203, if the device to be connected is not a device in the specified device set, then the environmental data stored in the specified storage area of ​​the Bluetooth module, the waybill identifier of the current waybill, and the waybill platform corresponding to the current waybill are sent to the device to be connected according to the second preset time interval.

[0101] If the device to be connected is not one of the devices in the specified device set, then the device to be connected is the transport driver's electronic device, i.e., the second type. The environmental data stored in the specified storage area of ​​the Bluetooth module, the waybill identifier of the current waybill, and the waybill platform corresponding to the current waybill are sent to the device to be connected, thereby triggering the device to be connected to send the environmental data and the waybill identifier to the waybill platform.

[0102] Specifically, since environmental data needs to be sent to the waybill platform via the transport driver's electronic device, the following waybill information is required before uploading: 1. The waybill identifier of the current waybill (e.g., waybill number); 2. The waybill platform corresponding to the current waybill (e.g., the waybill platform of the selected courier). The waybill information can be sent to the device to be connected via Bluetooth. Upon receiving the above waybill information, the device to be connected is triggered to send the environmental data corresponding to the current waybill identifier to the obtained waybill platform.

[0103] Specifically, the environmental data stored in the designated storage area of ​​the Bluetooth module, the waybill identifier of the current waybill, and the waybill platform corresponding to the current waybill are sent to the device to be connected at a second preset time interval.

[0104] In step 204, the device to be connected is triggered to send environmental data and waybill identifier to the waybill platform.

[0105] There are two ways to trigger the device to be connected to send environmental data to the waybill platform. The first is during the transportation delivery stage, when the transport driver confirms the completion of the waybill on his electronic device and then sends it. The second is during the transportation process, when the device to be connected periodically reports data to the waybill platform.

[0106] Specifically, for the second scenario, the Bluetooth module can send environmental data, the waybill identifier of the current waybill, and the waybill platform corresponding to the current waybill to the device to be connected according to the second time interval. After each transmission, the device to be connected will be triggered to report the environmental data corresponding to the current waybill to the waybill platform.

[0107] Based on the methods described in the above embodiments, the following examples will provide further detailed explanations.

[0108] To facilitate better implementation of the data acquisition method within a transport container provided in this application embodiment, this application embodiment also provides an apparatus based on the aforementioned data acquisition method within a transport container. The meanings of the terms used are the same as in the aforementioned data acquisition method within a transport container, and specific implementation details can be found in the description of the method embodiment.

[0109] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a data acquisition device inside a transport container provided in an embodiment of this application. The data acquisition device inside the transport container is applied to an electronic device with a graphics processor, and may include an acquisition module 201, a first determination module 202, and a first transmission module 203, etc.
