Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of intelligent retail technology, and in particular to a same-city retail warehouse-store integrated system. Background Art

[0002] Most products on the market are mainly of several types: the first type is an unmanned self-service shopping supermarket, which is only for offline stores. It cannot handle online traffic, such as food delivery platforms such as Meituan and Ele.me. The second type is an unmanned self-service picking warehouse, which is only for online orders and riders pick up the goods offline. This purely unmanned warehouse cannot support customers to purchase directly offline, and the success rate of riders picking up goods without human intervention is low, and the probability of missed inspections or wrong picking is high. In response to the above problems, the present invention proposes a same-city retail warehouse-store integrated system. Summary of the invention

[0003] The present invention currently provides a same-city retail warehouse-store integrated system to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background technology.

[0004] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: A same-city retail warehouse-store integrated system, the system comprising: The access control system is used to support riders and customers to open the door. After the riders and customers enter the store, the indoor voice guidance is broadcast and the remote on-duty personnel are notified: The light strip system automatically turns on the lights when the rider enters the door and turns off the lights when the rider leaves, and helps the rider quickly locate the goods: The video surveillance system is used to automatically verify the goods taken. It can use cameras and system algorithms to identify the riders / customers who take / put down goods on the shelves, and identify the shelf numbers and quantities of the goods taken: Customer in-store shopping system, including self-service checkout mode and merchant checkout mode.

[0005] As a further technical solution of the present invention, the access control system includes: Sensor, smart magnetic lock, smart broadcast speaker, smart control mainboard, relay, backup battery, digital password disk, QR code; there is one sensor, one smart broadcast speaker and one relay indoors and outdoors; The intelligent control mainboard is equipped with a power supply, a CPU, a wireless Internet of Things card and a wireless network signal receiver. The intelligent magnetic lock, the sensor, the intelligent broadcasting speaker, the relay, the digital password disk and the backup battery are all integrated on the control mainboard; The backup battery provides power to the smart control motherboard and other peripherals in case of a power outage in the store; The rider or customer scans the QR code to enter the WeChat mini program. The customer clicks "I am a customer" to unlock the door directly. The mini program calls the remote API, and the server sends an opening command to the smart control motherboard. The smart control motherboard sends an opening signal to the smart magnetic lock, sends a light-on signal to the relay, and sends a voice broadcast signal to the smart broadcast speaker. The voice broadcast announces that the unlocking is successful. When the customer enters the store, the indoor sensor senses the entry, and the indoor broadcast guidance voice is notified, and the remote on-duty personnel are notified.

[0006] As a further technical solution of the present invention, the light strip system includes: The light strip mainboard connects 12 5v light strips and connects to the main control board via a wireless communication network; The main control board controls a total of 128 light strips, which are uniformly controlled and powered by the light strip mainboard. The light strip is equipped with a 12v power supply. The light strip mainboard is also connected to the alarm light (each light strip mainboard controls one) and the smart broadcast speaker. When the main control board sends a light-on signal to the light strip mainboard, the light strip mainboard sends a light-on signal corresponding to the product shelf number to the light strip, and sends a broadcast signal to the smart broadcast speaker, and sends an alarm signal to the alarm light. The alarm light and the smart broadcast speaker make it easy for riders to quickly locate the shelf where the product is located, and the LED light strip is easy to locate to the specific shelf number; The main board of the light strip is bound to the main control board through wireless signals. There is a learning button on the main board of the light strip. Turn on the learning button to send Bluetooth signals and pair with the main control board. The light strip supports multiple colors. Different riders will light up lights of different colors when they enter the store to pick up goods. Riders can find the corresponding products according to the light color corresponding to their orders.

[0007] As a further technical solution of the present invention, the video monitoring system includes: Multiple cameras supporting wireless or wired; The clerk codes the shelves according to the rules in advance, affixes paper labels with numbers, and enters the shelf numbers corresponding to the products into the software system, so that the products and shelf numbers correspond one to one; When the rider enters the store and unlocks the door successfully, the mini program will display all the products included in the rider's order. The rider picks up the products according to the voice broadcast guidance and the light strip guidance. When picking up one of the products, the camera will transmit the captured data to the cloud. The cloud will identify the rider's picking up and putting down actions by analyzing the video stream intelligent algorithm, and locate the specific products and quantities through the shelf number captured in the identified video combined with the product data previously entered into the system. If it is recognized that the products and quantities picked up by the rider are inconsistent with those on the order, the cloud will send a voice reminder notification to the main board and send an alarm notification to the on-duty customer service; The customer service staff watches the camera and uses the loudspeaker to communicate with the rider, guiding the rider to pick up the correct product.

[0008] As a further technical solution of the present invention, the customer in-store shopping system includes: Self-service settlement mode and merchant settlement mode; In the self-service checkout mode, customers enter the store by scanning the code, select the products they like, go to the self-service checkout counter, align the product barcode with the scan box, and use WeChat or Alipay to scan the code to pay. The cash register will prompt that the payment is successful and automatically open the door; the camera will capture the customer's movements and analyze abnormal behaviors through algorithms in the cloud, such as pocketing and vandalism, to prevent theft and damage to goods; In the merchant settlement mode, the merchant settles and collects money, and manages goods and orders on the cash register.

[0009] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: The implementation is simple, and a traditional convenience store or takeaway store can be quickly transformed into a smart store with a warehouse and store. The smart guide lights have simple implementation steps and are easy to transform, and are compatible with most shelves on the market.

[0010] 24*7 operation, can quickly respond to order needs at any time, reducing labor costs. Use advanced AI technology to guide customers or riders.
