[0017] GPS: Global Positioning System. GPS terminals can locate their precise location by receiving radio signals from GPS satellites.

[0018] MAC address: Media Access Control address, also known as physical address, is used to define the location of a network device.

[0019] In this specification, a method for managing an article transport equipment is provided. This specification also relates to an article transport equipment management system, a computing device, a computer-readable storage medium, and a computer program product, which are described in detail one by one in the following embodiments.

[0020] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1A schematic diagram of a scenario of a method for managing an item transport device provided according to an embodiment of the present specification is shown. Specifically, the article transport equipment management method is applied to an article transport equipment management system, the system comprising an article transport equipment 102 and a mobile transport equipment 104 for transporting the article transport equipment 102 , the article transport equipment 102 being equipped with a Bluetooth tag 1022 , and the mobile transport equipment 104 being equipped with a communication base station 1042 .

[0021] When it is determined that the Bluetooth tag 1022 has established a communication connection with the communication base station 1042, it is determined that the article carrying device 102 is loaded on the mobile transportation device 104, and a device binding relationship between the article carrying device 102 and the mobile transportation device 104 is established; a positioning module (not shown in the figure) is built into the communication base station 1042, and the positioning module obtains the current position data of the communication base station 1042 by continuously receiving radio signals from GPS satellites, and parses the current position data to obtain the current position of the mobile transportation device 104; according to the device binding relationship, the current position of the mobile transportation device 104 is determined as the current position of the article carrying device 102, so as to execute the target task according to the current position of the article carrying device 102, for example, the target task can be a task of displaying the current position of the article carrying device 102, and the target task can also be a task of triggering logistics reminder information according to the current position of the article carrying device 102, which is not limited here.

[0022] In actual applications, when the current position of the item transporting device 102 is obtained, the current position can be uploaded to the location information database in real time. For example, the location information database includes information such as the device identification, current position, and tag power of the item transporting device 102. When the terminal device can read the current position of the item transporting device 102 from the location information database, the current position of the item transporting device 102 can be displayed in real time on the terminal device.

[0023] The end-side device may include a browser, an APP (Application), or a web application such as an H5 (HyperText Markup Language 5, version 5 of Hypertext Markup Language) application, or a light application (also known as a mini-program, a lightweight application) or a cloud application, etc. The end-side device may be based on the software development kit (SDK) of the corresponding service provided by the server, such as the one developed based on the real-time communication (RTC) SDK. The end-side device may be deployed in an electronic device and may rely on the device to run or some APPs in the device to run. The electronic device may have a display screen and support information browsing, such as a personal mobile terminal such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a personal computer, etc. Various other types of applications may also be configured in the electronic device, such as human-computer dialogue applications, model training applications, text processing applications, web browser applications, shopping applications, search applications, instant messaging tools, email clients, social platform software, etc.

[0024] The article transport equipment management method provided in the embodiments of the present specification is applied to an article transport equipment management system, wherein the system includes an article transport equipment and a mobile transport equipment for transporting the article transport equipment, the article transport equipment is equipped with a Bluetooth tag, and the mobile transport equipment is equipped with a communication base station. When the Bluetooth tag establishes a communication connection with the communication base station, it can be determined that the article transport equipment is loaded on the mobile transport equipment, and the current position data of the communication base station can be obtained. The current position data is parsed to obtain the current position of the mobile transport equipment. When the article transport equipment is loaded on the mobile transport equipment, the current position of the mobile transport equipment can be regarded as the current position of the article transport equipment, so as to execute the target task according to the current position of the article transport equipment, and realize the real-time tracking of the position of the article transport equipment by using the current position of the mobile transport equipment.

[0025] See also Figure 2 , Figure 2 A flowchart of a method for managing article transport equipment provided by an embodiment of the present specification is shown, which specifically includes the following steps.

[0026] It should be noted that the article transport equipment management method is applied to an article transport equipment management system, the system comprising an article transport equipment and a mobile transport equipment for transporting the article transport equipment, the article transport equipment being equipped with a Bluetooth tag, and the mobile transport equipment being equipped with a communication base station.

[0027] Step 202: when it is determined that the Bluetooth tag has established a communication connection with the communication base station, it is determined that the article carrying device is loaded on the mobile transportation device, and a device binding relationship between the article carrying device and the mobile transportation device is established.

[0028] Among them, the article transport equipment can be understood as equipment used to load, transport or store articles. The article transport equipment includes various types of containers, pallets, shelves, boxes, etc., such as pallet boxes, panel boxes, and turnover boxes, etc.; in the embodiments of this specification, the article transport equipment is taken as a turnover box (also called a logistics box) for detailed description.

[0029] Mobile transport equipment can be understood as equipment that can move autonomously or be towed to transport items, including but not limited to vans, trucks, forklifts, automatic guided vehicles (AGVs), unmanned transport equipment, etc. Mobile transport equipment is usually used to transport goods within warehouses, factories, logistics centers or a wider geographical area.

[0030] A Bluetooth tag can be understood as a small, low-power device that uses Bluetooth technology to communicate with other devices. Specifically, a Bluetooth tag can be attached to a device that carries items that need to be tracked, and communicates via Bluetooth signals with nearby devices that can receive Bluetooth signals (such as smartphones, tablets, or dedicated Bluetooth readers).

[0031] Specifically, when the Bluetooth tag is installed on the article transporting equipment, because the article transporting equipment needs to transport articles, deformation and damage caused by the stacking of articles must be considered, so the Bluetooth tag is installed in a place in the article transporting equipment where the articles cannot reach, and the Bluetooth tag is required not to affect the assembly and disassembly of the article transporting equipment; therefore, in actual applications, the Bluetooth tag is installed on the bottom plate of the article transporting equipment, and the bottom plate of the article transporting equipment is designed with a groove that can hold the Bluetooth tag, which will neither affect the installation and disassembly of the article transporting equipment nor cause the Bluetooth tag to be squeezed by the articles.

[0032] A communication base station can be understood as a device that can receive Bluetooth tag signals and is installed or integrated on a mobile transport device (such as a truck, forklift, etc.). When a Bluetooth tag enters the communication range of a communication base station, the two can establish a communication connection, thereby allowing data to be exchanged. In the case where a communication base station operates in a communication mode of radio frequency technology, it can be called a radio frequency base station; in the embodiments of this specification, the communication base station is described in detail by taking the radio frequency base station as an example.

[0033] Specifically, when a Bluetooth tag establishes a communication connection with a communication base station, the communication between them is usually based on Bluetooth communication technology, and Bluetooth communication technology is a short-range wireless communication technology. Therefore, the ability of the Bluetooth tag and the communication base station to establish a communication connection indicates that the distance between the Bluetooth tag and the communication base station is a short distance (for example, a distance within 6 meters can be considered a short distance). When the Bluetooth tag is installed on an item transport device and the communication base station is installed on a mobile transport device, it can be determined that the item transport device is loaded on the mobile transport device, and a device binding relationship between the item transport device and the mobile transport device is established. This device binding relationship can be used for various purposes such as tracking the location of items, monitoring transportation status, and managing inventory.

[0034] For example, the radio frequency base station installed on the vehicle establishes a data link with the Bluetooth tag located on the turnover box (Bluetooth communication method). In this case, a device binding relationship between the vehicle and the turnover box is established. At this time, the location of the turnover box and the location of the vehicle can be regarded as the same location.

[0035] In actual applications, each Bluetooth tag has a unique identifier (such as a MAC address or data expressed in other forms) to identify its identity; when a Bluetooth tag establishes a communication connection with a communication base station, the communication base station can read the identifier of the Bluetooth tag and match the identifier with the record in the back-end database (the back-end database includes the correspondence between Bluetooth tags and item carriers), thereby identifying the item carrier represented by the Bluetooth tag.

[0036] For example, the Bluetooth tag 11 is installed on the item carrying equipment 21, the Bluetooth tag 12 is installed on the item carrying equipment 22, the Bluetooth tag 13 is installed on the item carrying equipment 23, and the communication base station 31 is installed on the mobile transportation equipment 41. When the Bluetooth tag 11, the Bluetooth tag 12 establishes a communication connection with the communication base station 31, it can be determined that the item carrying equipment 21 and the item carrying equipment 22 are loaded on the mobile transportation equipment 41, thereby establishing a device binding relationship between the item carrying equipment 21, the item carrying equipment 22 and the mobile transportation equipment 41.

[0037] The article transport equipment management method provided in the embodiments of this specification installs Bluetooth tags on the article transport equipment to reduce deployment costs. The Bluetooth tags have low power consumption, so there is no need to replace the Bluetooth tags frequently, which can also reduce maintenance procurement costs and labor costs. Based on the establishment of Bluetooth communication between the Bluetooth tags and the communication base stations, the device binding relationship between the article transport equipment and the mobile transport equipment can be accurately established.

[0038] In one or more embodiments of the present specification, the article transport equipment management system reads the link table of the communication base station. If a Bluetooth tag appears in the link table of the communication base station corresponding to a mobile transport equipment, it can be determined that the Bluetooth tag has established a communication connection with the communication base station, and the article transport equipment corresponding to the Bluetooth tag and the mobile transport equipment are considered to have a device binding relationship. The specific implementation is as follows: The step of determining that the Bluetooth tag establishes a communication connection with the communication base station includes: The link table of the communication base station is read, and when it is determined that the tag information of the Bluetooth tag exists in the link table, it is determined that the Bluetooth tag establishes a communication connection with the communication base station.

[0039] Among them, the link table is used to record the information of all devices that currently establish a communication connection with the communication base station. This information includes but is not limited to the device's unique identifier (such as MAC address), device type, connection status, etc., which are not limited here; the tag information of the Bluetooth tag can be understood as the identifier of the Bluetooth tag, and the tag information is used to identify the identity information of the Bluetooth tag.

[0040] Specifically, the communication base station usually maintains a link table. The item transport equipment management system will access and read the link table of the communication base station to obtain information about all devices currently connected to the communication base station. When there is tag information of a Bluetooth tag in the link table, it can be determined that the communication base station and the Bluetooth tag have established a communication connection.

[0041] The article transport equipment management method provided in the embodiment of the present specification reads the link table of the communication base station. When the tag information of the Bluetooth tag exists in the link table, it can quickly determine that the Bluetooth tag has established a communication connection with the communication base station.

[0042] In one or more embodiments of this specification, the steps of establishing a communication connection between the Bluetooth tag and the communication base station are as follows: The Bluetooth tag broadcasts tag information according to a preset time interval; When the communication base station receives the tag information within a preset distance range, the tag information is written into the link table of the communication base station to establish a communication connection with the Bluetooth tag.

[0043] Among them, the preset time interval can be set according to actual conditions, for example, the preset time interval is 5 seconds; the preset distance range can also be set according to actual conditions. For example, when the mobile transport equipment is a medium-sized truck with a longer body, the preset distance range can be set to 10 meters. When the mobile transport equipment is a mini truck with a shorter body, the preset distance range can be set to 5 meters. No limitation is made here.

[0044] Specifically, during the communication process between the Bluetooth tag and the communication base station, the Bluetooth tag will send a Bluetooth signal containing its identity information, and the communication base station will listen to and receive the Bluetooth signal, and then decode and process it. Once the Bluetooth tag and the communication base station establish a stable communication connection, the two can start exchanging data.

[0045] In actual applications, the communication base station is started and is in a state of receiving broadcast signals at any time. The Bluetooth tag contains a power source. When the Bluetooth tag is not connected, it will periodically broadcast tag information to the outside world. This tag information includes but is not limited to device name, number and other information so that it can be recognized by the communication base station.

[0046] The communication base station monitors the Bluetooth signals within a preset distance range through its Bluetooth receiving module. After receiving the broadcast of the Bluetooth tag, the tag information broadcast by the Bluetooth tag is written into the link table of the communication base station to establish a communication link with the Bluetooth tag. After the communication link is established, the communication base station and the Bluetooth tag can start data transmission. The data needs to be encapsulated before transmission to ensure its integrity and security. At the receiving end, the data needs to be parsed to restore its original content.

[0047] Step 204: Acquire the current location data of the communication base station, parse the current location data, and obtain the current location of the mobile transportation device.

[0048] Among them, the current location data can be understood as the current location coordinates of the communication base station; the current location can be understood as the specific geographical location information of the current location data on the earth, such as city, street, building, etc. For example, when the current location data is (x, y, z), it can be determined that the actual current location corresponding to the current location data is "AA Building".

[0049] In one or more embodiments of the present specification, the communication base station is equipped with a positioning module, which can receive positioning signals and calculate the current location information of the communication base station based on these positioning signals. When the current location information is converted into a readable longitude and latitude format, the location information in the longitude and latitude format can be matched with the actual geographical location name using a geographic information database to obtain the current location. The specific implementation is as follows: The obtaining of the current position data of the communication base station, parsing the current position data, and obtaining the current position of the mobile transportation device includes: Acquire a positioning signal received by a positioning module of the communication base station, and determine current position data of the communication base station according to the positioning signal; Converting the current location data into standard location data in latitude and longitude format; The geographic information database is used to determine the geographic location information corresponding to the standard location data, and the current location of the mobile transportation device is obtained according to the geographic location information.

[0050] The positioning module may be understood as a GPS module, which is used to continuously receive radio signals from GPS satellites; and the positioning signal may be understood as a radio signal from a GPS satellite.

[0051] Specifically, the GPS module built into the communication base station can continuously receive radio signals from GPS satellites. The GPS module uses the received radio signals to calculate the pseudo distance between each visible satellite (due to the product of signal propagation speed and time, taking into account corrections for factors such as the atmosphere), and uses algorithms such as triangulation or least squares method to solve the current position data of the three-dimensional coordinates of the positioning module (the current position data of the positioning module can represent the current position data of the communication base station and mobile transportation equipment). The current position data (which can be expressed in the form of X, Y, and Z coordinates) is converted into standard position data in a readable, more universal latitude and longitude format (usually in the form of degrees, minutes, seconds, or a few decimal places after the degree) to facilitate understanding and use in various applications.

[0052] By using the geographic information database, the standard location data in the latitude and longitude format is matched with the geographic information database (such as geographic information system GIS, map data, etc.), so as to determine the specific geographical location information of the standard location data in the latitude and longitude format on the earth, such as cities, streets, buildings, etc.

[0053] In practical applications, based on the information in the geographic information database, the current geographical location of the positioning module can be accurately known and displayed on a map or navigation system.

[0054] The article transport equipment management method provided in the embodiments of this specification can accurately calculate the precise position of the positioning module (communication base station, mobile transport equipment) on the earth by acquiring the positioning signal received by the positioning module of the communication base station, and present it in the form of standard position data in longitude and latitude format, so as to quickly determine the current position of the mobile transport equipment based on the geographic information database.

[0055] Step 206: According to the device binding relationship, the current position of the mobile transport device is determined as the current position of the item transport device, so as to execute the target task according to the current position of the item transport device.

[0056] Among them, the target task can be understood as a task of displaying the current position of the item transporting equipment, triggering logistics reminder information according to the current position of the item transporting equipment, and other tasks, which are not limited here.

[0057] Specifically, since there is an equipment binding relationship between the item carrying equipment and the mobile transportation equipment, the item carrying equipment is loaded on the mobile transportation equipment, so the current position of the mobile transportation equipment is the current position of the item carrying equipment. Based on this, according to the current position of the item carrying equipment, various tasks related to the current position of the item carrying equipment can be performed.

[0058] For example, when the target task is to display the current position of the item carrier, the current position of the item carrier can be displayed in real time on the web page of the item carrier management system so that the manager of the item carrier can view the real-time current position of the item carrier; or in a logistics scenario, the item carrier will circulate in different logistics centers. When the scheduled route of the item carrier is from the S logistics center to the Z logistics center, the target task can be a task that triggers logistics reminder information according to the current position of the item carrier. For example, the item carrier starts from the S logistics center. When it is determined that the distance between the item carrier and the Z logistics center is less than or equal to the preset distance based on the current position of the item carrier, it is considered that the item carrier is about to arrive at the Z logistics center. At this time, a logistics reminder information can be sent to the recipient designated by the Z logistics center (such as a warehouse manager or dispatcher), so that the recipient can make corresponding preparations as needed after receiving the reminder information, such as arranging unloading personnel, preparing storage space, etc.

[0059] The article transport equipment management method provided in the embodiments of this specification can use the current position of the mobile transport equipment as the current position of the article transport equipment through the equipment binding relationship, thereby tracking and locating the article transport equipment according to the current position of the article transport equipment, and efficiently managing the transportation process of the article transport equipment.

[0060] In one or more embodiments of the present specification, the current position of the item carrier can be determined as the latest position of the item carrier, so that the latest position of the item carrier is displayed on the item carrier display interface, so that the user can view the latest position of the item carrier in real time and locate the item carrier. The specific implementation is as follows: After determining the current position of the mobile transport device as the current position of the article carrying device, the method further includes: Recording the current position of the article transporting device into a position information database, and determining the current position as the latest position of the article transporting device; In response to the latest position acquisition instruction for the item transporting device sent by the item transporting display interface, the latest position of the item transporting device is sent to the item transporting display interface, so as to display the latest position of the item transporting device through the item transporting display interface.

[0061] Among them, the location information database includes the current location of the item transport equipment, the equipment name and identifier of the item transport equipment and other information; the item transport display interface is the window for users to interact with the system, usually including map display, equipment list, track display and other functions.

[0062] Specifically, the current position of the processed item carrier is recorded in the location information database. A corresponding table is designed in the location information database to store information related to the item carrier, such as name, identifier (MAC address), coordinates, location and other fields. Each time the current position is updated to the location information database, the current position is marked as the "latest position" of the item carrier, and the previous "latest position" is recorded in the historical location data.

[0063] The user can send the latest position acquisition instruction for the item transport equipment to the system through operations on the item transport display interface (such as clicking the "Refresh Position" button or automatic system triggering). After receiving the latest position acquisition instruction from the item transport display interface, the system parses the instruction content and queries the location information database for the latest position information of the item transport equipment corresponding to the identifier according to the identifier in the instruction; and encapsulates the queried latest position information into a format suitable for interface display, and sends the encapsulated latest position data to the item transport display interface.

[0064] After receiving the latest location data sent by the system, the item transport display interface parses it and updates the equipment location information on the item transport display interface to ensure that the user can see the latest location of the item transport equipment in real time.

[0065] See also Figure 3 , Figure 3 A schematic diagram of an interface of an item transport display interface provided by an embodiment of the present specification is shown.

[0066] Among them, when the communication base station is installed on a vehicle, the communication base station is regarded as a vehicle base station, and when the communication base station is installed in a warehouse, the communication base station is regarded as a warehouse base station (the Bluetooth tag and the warehouse base station can also establish a communication connection through the above-mentioned implementation logic to locate the position of the item carrying equipment in the warehouse, that is, no matter whether the item carrying equipment is transported on a mobile transport equipment or stored in a warehouse, its position can be located, which greatly avoids the loss of the item carrying equipment. Even if the item carrying equipment is lost, it can be screened through the latest located position and retrieved in time).

[0067] Only when the communication base station is in the on state can the Bluetooth information broadcast by the Bluetooth tag be received and a communication connection with the Bluetooth tag be established. When the communication base station is in the off state, a communication connection with the Bluetooth tag cannot be established, thereby failing to locate the item carrier corresponding to the Bluetooth tag.

[0068] The box in the item transport display interface can be understood as the item transport device in the above embodiment. Figure 3 In the item transportation display interface shown, the status of vehicle A is open, and the status of other vehicles or warehouses is closed, so the boxes in the box list are the item transportation equipment carried by vehicle A.

[0069] Specifically, detailed information of 4 boxes is displayed in the box list, including the box name, MAC address, coordinates (i.e., the standard location data in the above embodiment, data in the longitude and latitude format, the first data in the coordinates represents the longitude, the east-west direction of the geographic location, and the second data in the coordinates represents the latitude, the north-south direction of the geographic location), location (i.e., the current location in the above embodiment), power, and operations that can be performed on the box (click the map control to display the box location on the map interface; click the track control to display the box track on the map interface). Of course, the box list can also display information such as the temperature and humidity of the box.

[0070] In actual applications, the installation of a communication base station on a vehicle is used as an example for detailed explanation. During transportation, the vehicle base station on the vehicle will be located in real time, so that there is a device binding relationship with the vehicle base station, and the location of the turnover box on the vehicle will also be updated in real time and uploaded to the background system. When the transport vehicle arrives at the destination and the turnover box is unloaded, the vehicle base station on the vehicle disconnects from the turnover box and updates the status information of the Bluetooth tag on the turnover box to the background system (for example, when a communication connection is established with the vehicle base station, the status information of the Bluetooth tag is connected; when there is no communication connection with other base stations, the status information of the Bluetooth tag is disconnected). The entire process can realize the management of the location information of the turnover box, reduce the deployment and maintenance of the hardware part, and the background system can display and manage the identifier, location information, driving trajectory, surrounding map, and tag power of the turnover box.

[0071] The article transport equipment management method provided in the embodiment of the present specification sends the latest position of the article transport equipment to the article transport display interface, and displays the latest position of the article transport equipment in the article transport display interface, so that users can more easily view the latest position of the article transport equipment.

[0072] In one or more embodiments of the present specification, the latest position of the item carrier can be obtained by the above Figure 3 The coordinates and positions of the boxes are displayed in the form of text. In practical applications, other preset display methods can also be used for display, such as icons. The specific implementation is as follows: The step of sending the latest position acquisition instruction for the item transporting device sent by the item transporting display interface to the item transporting display interface in response to the latest position acquisition instruction for the item transporting device, so as to display the latest position of the item transporting device through the item transporting display interface, comprises: In response to a latest position acquisition instruction for the item transport device sent by the item transport display interface, determining the latest position of the item transport device and determining a preset display mode for the latest position; The latest position of the article transporting device and the preset display mode are sent to the article transporting display interface, so that the latest position of the article transporting device is displayed in the preset display mode through the article transporting display interface.

[0073] Among them, the preset display method can be a display method of displaying with icons.

[0074] Specifically, based on the above-mentioned display of the latest position of the item transport equipment through the item transport display interface, the user can specify a preset display method of the latest position when sending the latest position acquisition instruction through the item transport interface, such as displaying the latest position of the item transport equipment in the form of an icon. Based on this, the item transport equipment management system can send the latest position of the item transport equipment and the preset display method to the item transport display interface, so that the latest position of the item transport equipment is displayed in the preset display method in the item transport display interface.

[0075] exist Figure 3 In the shown item transport display interface, click the "Map" control on the item transport display interface to select Figure 3 The displayed item transport interface jumps to Figure 4 Another item transport display interface shown is shown in Figure 4 , Figure 4 A schematic diagram of another item transport display interface provided by an embodiment of the present specification is shown.

[0076] exist Figure 3 In the , the latest position of the item carrier is displayed in text form, while in Figure 4 In the item transport display interface shown, the latest position of the item transport device is displayed in the form of an icon, that is, a box-style icon is displayed on the map, and the position of the icon on the map is the latest position of the item transport device.

[0077] The article transport equipment management method provided in the embodiments of this specification displays the latest position of the article transport equipment in a preset display mode in the article transport display interface, so that the user can know the latest position of the article transport equipment on the map in a more three-dimensional and clear manner.

[0078] In one or more embodiments of the present specification, the transport track of the item carrier can also be viewed in the item carrier display interface, that is, the item carrier display interface can not only display the latest position of the item carrier, but also generate the transport track of the item carrier based on the latest position and historical position of the item carrier. The specific implementation is as follows: The article transport equipment management method further includes: In response to a track viewing request for the item transport device sent by the item transport display interface, reading the current position and the historical position of the item transport device from the position information database, wherein the track viewing request is generated by a triggering operation of a track control in the item transport display interface by a user; The current position and the historical position are sent to the item transport display interface, so that the item transport display interface generates and displays the transport track of the item transport device according to the current position and the historical position.

[0079] Specifically, when the mobile transport equipment is moving, the current position of the item carrying equipment is updated in real time. On the basis that the current position of the item carrying equipment represents the latest position of the item carrying equipment, each time the current position of the item carrying equipment is updated, the previous current position can be determined as the historical position of the item carrying equipment. Therefore, the historical positions of the item carrying equipment include multiple ones, and they can be sorted in the order of timestamps.

[0080] The user can send a request to view the trajectory of the item transport equipment to the item transport equipment management system through the item transport display interface. When the location information of the item transport equipment is recorded in the location information database, the current location and historical location of the item transport equipment can be read from the location information database and sent to the item transport display interface.

[0081] In the item transport display interface, a transport track of the item transport equipment can be generated and displayed according to the current position and the order of historical positions.

[0082] exist Figure 3 In the shown item transport display interface, click the "Track" control on the item transport display interface to Figure 3 The displayed item transport interface jumps to Figure 5 Another item transport display interface shown is shown in Figure 5 , Figure 5 It is a schematic diagram of an interface showing a transportation trajectory of an item transportation display interface provided by an embodiment of the present specification.

[0083] Specifically, in the item transportation display interface, you can not only view the latest position of the item transportation display interface, but also click the "track" control to view the transportation track map of the item transportation equipment from the starting point to the current position. When the transportation track is displayed on the map interface, the transportation track is clearer and meets the diverse needs of users.

[0084] The article transport equipment management method provided in the embodiments of this specification can generate and display the transportation track of the article transport equipment in the article transport display interface according to the current location and historical location of the article transport equipment, so as to facilitate the user to trace the transportation process of the article transport equipment and meet the diverse needs of users.

[0085] In one or more embodiments of the present specification, due to logistics transit and other reasons, the article carrier is usually not transported from the departure point to the destination by a mobile transport device, and there is usually reclassification and reloading in the middle. Therefore, when the Bluetooth tag is disconnected from the communication base station, it is determined that the article carrier is unloaded from the mobile transport device. The specific implementation is as follows: The article transport equipment management method further includes: When it is determined that the Bluetooth tag is disconnected from the communication base station, it is determined that the article carrying device is unloaded from the mobile transportation device, and the device binding relationship between the article carrying device and the mobile transportation device is released.

[0086] The determining that the Bluetooth tag is disconnected from the communication base station includes: The link table of the communication base station is read, and when it is determined that the tag information of the Bluetooth tag does not exist in the link table, it is determined that the Bluetooth tag is disconnected from the communication base station.

[0087] The steps of disconnecting the communication connection between the Bluetooth tag and the communication base station are as follows: The Bluetooth tag broadcasts tag information according to a preset time interval; When the communication base station fails to receive the tag information within a preset distance range, the tag information is deleted from the link table of the communication base station to disconnect the communication connection with the Bluetooth tag.

[0088] Specifically, the above steps are contrary to the steps in the above embodiment in which the Bluetooth tag establishes a communication connection with the communication base station. The specific logic is similar and will not be repeated here.

[0089] An embodiment of the present specification provides a method for managing article transport equipment, which realizes real-time tracking of the article transport equipment by installing a Bluetooth tag on the article transport equipment and installing a communication base station on the mobile transport equipment. The deployment cost of the Bluetooth tag is low. The Bluetooth tag is used in conjunction with the radio frequency base station to calculate the precise location coordinates of the mobile transport equipment. Then, according to the logic of logistics transportation, the location of the mobile transport equipment is used as the location of the article transport equipment, which can accurately realize real-time tracking and tracing of the article transport equipment during transportation.

[0090] See also Figure 6 , Figure 6 A flowchart of a processing process of a method for managing an article transport device provided in one embodiment of the present specification is shown, which specifically includes the following steps.

[0091] Step 602: Deployment phase.

[0092] Specifically, during the deployment phase, Bluetooth tags are deployed on item transport equipment, and communication base stations are deployed on mobile transport equipment. Subsequently, based on the communication connection between the Bluetooth tags and the communication base stations, the location of the item transport equipment can be tracked in real time using the mobile transport equipment.

[0093] In actual applications, during the deployment phase of the item transport equipment management system, the radio frequency base station is installed in the cab of the transport vehicle, and the Bluetooth tag is installed on the bottom plate of each turnover box.

[0094] Step 604: Carrying phase.

[0095] The RF base station and the Bluetooth tag use active Bluetooth communication technology. When the turnover box is loaded into the transport vehicle and the door is closed for loading, the Bluetooth tag contains a power source and continuously broadcasts the tag information to the outside world. When the RF base station and the Bluetooth tag reach a certain distance, the RF base station can receive the broadcast of the Bluetooth tag and parse the tag information to establish a communication link between the RF base station and the Bluetooth tag.

[0096] The received Bluetooth signals sent by the Bluetooth tags are automatically clustered, and the current location of the transport vehicle is sent to the Bluetooth tags corresponding to these Bluetooth signals; specifically, the built-in GPS module of the RF base station can continuously receive radio signals from GPS satellites and calculate the precise location coordinates of the vehicle based on these signals. The goods transport equipment management system will continuously obtain the original location data from the GPS device and convert it into a readable longitude and latitude format. At the same time, the geographic information database will be used to match the longitude and latitude coordinates with the actual geographic location name. All of this processed location information will be uploaded to the database in real time.

[0097] In actual applications, when transporting turnover boxes, after a transport vehicle is loaded with a transport box, the system will automatically bind the transport box to the vehicle. Once the binding is successful (i.e., the device binding relationship is established in the above embodiment), the location coordinates of the turnover box will be synchronized with the GPS coordinates of the transport vehicle, that is, the location of the turnover box will be equivalent to the location of the transport vehicle carrying it; thereby, the location of the turnover box is continuously updated according to the location of the transport vehicle until the transport vehicle reaches the destination of its transportation stage.

[0098] Step 606: Unloading phase.

[0099] After the transport vehicle arrives at the destination of its transportation stage and the turnover box is unloaded from the transport vehicle, the communication between the Bluetooth tag and the communication base station of the transport vehicle will be disconnected because the distance between the Bluetooth tag and the communication base station is greater than a certain distance. The item transport equipment management system will update the turnover box status information. For example, when the turnover box was previously transported on the transport vehicle, the status of the turnover box was in the transportation status, which can be updated to the stagnant status at this time.

[0100] When the turnover box is transported again, the linkage tracking of the position information is achieved by repeating the above steps 604-606, that is, the position information of the same turnover box is jointly tracked through different transportation vehicles.

[0101] An embodiment of the present specification provides a method for managing article transport equipment, which economically tracks and traces turnover boxes. Existing positioning technologies mostly deploy GPS modules on turnover boxes, which has high deployment and maintenance costs. The current position of the mobile transport equipment is used to track the position of the article transport equipment in real time.
