[0013] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of the self-service vending system of the present invention; Figure 2 It is a schematic diagram of the structure of the vending bag of the present invention.

[0014] Reference numerals: 100, vending bag; 200, electromagnetic buckle. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0015] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0016] See attached Figure 1-Figure 2 , the taxi sharing self-service vending system includes: An intelligent vending device, the intelligent vending device comprising a plurality of vending bags which are opened by mobile phone operation, and into which commodities to be vended are placed; Sales management module, which includes the backend management system, driver management APP and passenger use app; A backend management system is used to collect statistics on the product information of each vending bag and generate suggestions for replenishment or replacement. The backend management system includes a barcode scanning device for scanning product information; Driver management APP, used to receive real-time information on each vending bag and suggestions for replenishment and replacement; Passengers use the mini program, which includes an interactive page for displaying information about the goods in each vending bag and for passengers to select goods, as well as a transaction processing system for payment.

[0017] In this embodiment, the commodity information of each vending bag includes name, type, inventory, price, production period and shelf life. The statistical analysis of the commodity information of each vending bag specifically includes the following steps: S1: Scan the barcode of the commodity to be put into the vending bag through a barcode scanning device to obtain the commodity name, type, price, production period and shelf life information, and upload it to the backend management system; In this step, it can be understood that the information of all commodities to be sold will be entered at the same time. For example, the barcodes of commodities such as paper towels, chewing gum, mineral water, etc. can be scanned by a barcode scanning device to obtain the name, type, price, production period and shelf life of each commodity. This information can be called the basic information of the commodity. The characteristic of this information is that the commodity is brought with it when it leaves the factory and cannot be changed. By uploading this information to the background management system, the information source of the commodity can be obtained, which will serve as a basis for subsequent production replenishment and exchange suggestions.

[0018] S2: Classify the goods to be put into the vending bag after the barcode is scanned, put the same type of goods into one vending bag, count the inventory of goods in each vending bag, and upload it to the driver management APP; S3: Mark the sales bags of the classified goods through the driver management APP to generate the location information of the sales bags where the goods are located; S4: Upload the inventory and location information of each vending bag to the backend management system through the driver management APP.

[0019] In steps S2, S3 and S4, it can be understood that; First, the driver will classify all the goods to be sold. For example, paper towels, chewing gum, mineral water and other goods, put all the paper towels into a selling bag, all the chewing gum into a selling bag, and then put all the mineral water into a selling bag. When the goods are put into the selling bag, the number of goods in each selling bag is counted to form the goods inventory information; Second, after the inventory information is counted, the location of the goods is marked in the driver management app. For example, if there are tissues in the vending bag 1, then the location information of the vending bag 1 is the location information of the tissues; if there are chewing gums in the vending bag 2, then the location information of the vending bag 2 is the location information of the chewing gum; if there are mineral waters in the vending bag 3, then the location information of the vending bag 3 is the location information of the mineral water, and so on, the location information of the goods is formed to prepare for the subsequent shopping of passengers; Third, the above-mentioned commodity inventory information and commodity location information are uploaded to the backend management system through the driver management APP, and then combined with the basic commodity information formed in step S1, thereby forming the commodity information of each vending bag.

[0020] In this embodiment, replenishment and exchange suggestions are generated based on the commodity information of each vending bag. The replenishment and exchange suggestions are divided into replenishment suggestions and exchange suggestions. The backend management system continuously monitors the sales data of each commodity and sets a sales volume threshold. When the sales volume of the commodity exceeds the sales volume threshold, the replenishment suggestion is triggered. The replenishment suggestion is sent to the driver management APP through the backend management system to remind the driver to replenish the stock in time.

[0021] Specifically, for example, if vending bag 1 contains paper towels, and according to the volume of vending bag 1, 10 paper towels can be placed, then when the remaining amount of paper towel in vending bag 1 is still 1, that is, this is the threshold of vending bag 1, then a replenishment suggestion is triggered, and the generated replenishment suggestion will be specific to vending bag 1; It should also be noted that, in this embodiment, the threshold value is set based on the number of commodities that the vending bag can contain. For example, if the vending bag 3 contains mineral water and can hold 3 bottles of mineral water, then the threshold value can be set to 0, which is the threshold value of the vending bag 3.

[0022] It should also be noted that the replenishment and exchange suggestions are generated based on the commodity information of each vending bag. The replenishment and exchange suggestions are divided into replenishment suggestions and exchange suggestions. The backend management system continuously monitors the sales data of each commodity and sets a sales volume threshold. When the sales volume of the commodity exceeds the threshold, the threshold is triggered, triggering the replenishment suggestion. The replenishment suggestion is sent to the driver management APP through the backend management system to remind the driver to replenish the goods in time; Specifically, for example, if vending bag 1 contains paper towels, and according to the volume of vending bag 1, 10 paper towels can be placed, then when the remaining amount of paper towel in vending bag 1 is still 1, that is, this is the threshold of vending bag 1, then a replenishment suggestion is triggered, and the generated replenishment suggestion will be specific to vending bag 1; It should also be noted that, in this embodiment, the threshold value is set based on the number of commodities that the vending bag can contain. For example, if the vending bag 3 contains mineral water and can hold 3 bottles of mineral water, then the threshold value can be set to 0, which is the threshold value of the vending bag 3.

[0023] The backend management system continuously monitors the production period and shelf life of the goods in each vending bag. When the monitored goods have exceeded their shelf life, a replacement suggestion is triggered. The replacement suggestion is sent to the driver management APP through the backend management system to remind the driver to replace the goods in time. Specifically, for example, in winter, the demand for mineral water purchased by passengers decreases. If the mineral water in the vending bag 3 is not purchased for a long time, it will expire. The background management system will continuously monitor the production period and shelf life information of the goods in each vending bag, which will trigger a replacement suggestion.

[0024] In addition, the passenger uses a mobile device to scan the QR code of the passenger use mini program set in the taxi to enter the mini program. The passenger selects the product through the interactive page of the passenger use mini program and confirms the payment. The transaction processing system first verifies the validity of the payment information and then jumps to the payment page of the transaction processing system. If the payment is successful, the backend management system will deduct the quantity of the corresponding product and generate an electronic sales receipt. The sales receipt contains the name, quantity, price, purchase time, taxi license plate number and other information of the purchased product, which can be used for passengers to inquire and as a basis for after-sales service; In this embodiment, after entering the mini program, the interactive page displays a product catalog. The product catalog page displays information about various products in a graphic and textual form, including product names, pictures, prices, brief introductions, etc. Passengers can browse different categories of products by sliding the screen or clicking on category labels; When passengers find the product they want to buy, they click on the product image or name to enter the product details page. On the product details page, passengers can view the basic information of the product. After confirming the purchase, passengers click the "Add to Cart" button to add the product to the shopping cart. Passengers can continue to browse other products and add them to the shopping cart. The shopping cart page will display the quantity, total price and other information of the selected products in real time; When the passenger has finished selecting the products, he / she clicks the "Checkout" button on the shopping cart page to enter the payment page of the transaction processing system. The payment page displays the order details, including the list of purchased products, total price, payment method selection, etc. After the payment is successful, the user will be redirected to the interactive interface again, which will display a prompt message indicating the payment is successful and inform the passenger which vending bag the product will be placed in. At the same time, the passenger uses the mini program to transmit information to the backend management system, which will open the vending bag and the passenger can take the product out of the vending bag by himself. Subsequently, the backend management system will deduct the quantity of the corresponding goods and generate an electronic sales receipt, which will be transmitted to the driver management APP and the passenger mini program. The sales receipt contains the name, quantity, price, purchase time, taxi license plate number and other information of the purchased goods. It can be queried by the driver and used as a basis for sales, and can also be queried by passengers and used as a basis for after-sales.

[0025] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the backend management system also includes a remote monitoring and maintenance module, through which the taxi operator or system maintenance personnel can view the operation and sales status of the self-service vending system in each taxi in real time.

[0026] Specifically, the cloud server backend of the backend management system can intuitively see the inventory status of each taxi, sales data statistics, and the working status of hardware equipment, such as whether the main control unit is operating normally, whether the communication module is online, whether the payment module is faulty, etc. When the system detects a component failure or abnormality, such as the failure of product display and smart vending devices, or the inability of passengers to receive payment information using the mini-program, the backend management system will automatically send a fault alarm message to the cloud server. After receiving the alarm message, the cloud server will immediately notify the relevant maintenance personnel and provide the location information and fault details of the faulty vehicle. Based on this information, the maintenance personnel can go to the location of the faulty vehicle in time for on-site repairs, or try to remotely handle some faults through remote diagnosis and repair tools. The taxi sharing self-service vending system can also be regularly upgraded with software and updated with data. Software upgrades can fix system vulnerabilities, improve system performance and stability, and add new functions and services. Data updates mainly include adding new products.
