Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of intelligent meal delivery, and belongs to a method for batch delivering dishes based on RFID plates. Background Art
[0002] In the current group meal RFID settlement mode, the dish price information is mainly written into the RFID chip in the plate by using the dish delivery device (meal preparation table / batch delivery terminal), and the dishes are delivered in the following two ways: I. Using the delivery terminal (usually integrated in the delivery heat preservation table), first send the dish information to the corresponding delivery terminal, and place the plate with the chip on the delivery terminal to write the dish information into the RFID chip; in this way, the written information includes the dish information and the price information.
[0003] II. Set a fixed price on the delivery terminal, place the RFID plate on the antenna of the delivery terminal to write the price information, and the information written in this way is only the price information and does not include the dish-related information.
[0004] The above meal delivery methods have the following deficiencies in actual implementation: 1. It is necessary for the operator to manually set the delivery price for each plate at the meal preparation table, which increases the operation steps during the dish serving process. During the peak period, the dish serving speed is fast, and manual operation is prone to omission.
[0005] 2. The meal preparation table needs to integrate the relevant delivery terminals, and the hardware structure of the heat preservation table design, etc. needs to be transformed, such as changing to upper-layer heat preservation pipes or heat preservation lamps for heating. The equipment transformation cost is high, and the heat preservation effect after transformation is not ideal.
[0006] 3. The on-site network environment requirements are high. It is necessary to ensure that the meal preparation table equipment is connected to the network to ensure that the meal preparation table can obtain the dish information, so the network-related situation needs to be considered during the decoration.
[0007] 4. Power supply transformation. Usually, the heat preservation table uses 380V power supply, and the delivery terminal usually uses 220V to 12V power supply. It is necessary to transform the power distribution module, increase the power supply line, and increase the fault nodes.
[0008] 5. When using price delivery in batch delivery, only the price of the plate can be collected, and the detailed dish information cannot be obtained, resulting in the inability to count the nutrition data and other dish-related data.
[0009] 6. It must be achieved by writing into the RFID chip. If the data is not erased after the settlement is completed after writing the dish information into the tableware chip, the tableware cannot be used again, affecting the settlement of the next order. Summary of the Invention
[0010] In view of the above technical problems, the present invention provides a method for batch serving dishes based on RFID trays.
[0011] The present invention aims to overcome the technical defects existing in the prior art. The object of the present invention is to provide a method for batch serving dishes based on RFID trays, including the following steps: S1: Maintain the RFID tray types in the system to complete tray classification; S2: Import the physical numbers of RFID trays into the system according to the RFID tray types described in S1; S3: Bind the tray types according to the serving information in the system; S4: The settlement terminal reads the physical number of the RFID tray being served, and queries whether the physical number belongs to the legal physical numbers imported in S2; if it is legal, query the tray type corresponding to the physical number of the RFID tray and the current serving information corresponding to the tray type; S5: Return the final result queried in S4 to the settlement terminal, and the settlement terminal displays the final result to end the process.
[0012] Preferably, in S1, the tray types are distinguished according to the tray shape or color.
[0013] Preferably, in S2, the physical number serves as the unique identification number of the tray.
[0014] Preferably, the serving information in S3 includes the store, date, meal type, and dish types.
[0015] Preferably, the final result in S5 includes "illegal tray", "unserved tray", and "dishes, amount"; the "illegal tray" is the return result when the physical number in S4 is an illegal physical number; the "unserved tray" is the return result when no current specific information is queried in S4; the "dishes, amount" is the return result when the physical number in S4 is legal and the current serving information is queried for the tray type.
[0016] An electronic device includes a memory, a processor, and program code stored on the memory and executable on the processor. When the processor executes the program code, it is used to implement the above method for batch serving dishes based on RFID trays.
[0017] A computer-readable storage medium stores program code thereon. When the program code is executed by a processor, it is used to implement the above method for batch serving dishes based on RFID trays.
[0018] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a method for batch serving dishes based on RFID trays, having the following beneficial effects: 1. By binding the dishes and plate types on the platform during settlement, duplicate production on physical terminals is reduced, saving a large amount of time and improving efficiency.
[0019] 2. It replaces the existing method of writing and producing by means of a meal preparation table / batch production terminal and changes to a pure software management writing method, eliminating the need for repeated writing and erasing operations on RFID chips. It reduces the equipment dependence on the meal preparation table / batch production terminal and extends the service life of the chips. Costs are saved in equipment purchase, and more diversification is possible in the selection of meal preparation tables.
[0020] 3. The product form is simple, without additional transformation costs, and the project implementation is more convenient.
[0021] 4. Especially for the renovation of old canteens, the original heat preservation table equipment can be directly utilized. 5. It can ensure the integrity of the dining dish information for subsequent data utilization such as nutritional analysis, and better serve consumers.
[0022] 6. One dish corresponds to multiple plate types (one dish corresponds to one or more types of plates), enabling flexible utilization of plates.
[0023] The features and advantages of the present invention will be described in detail through embodiments in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Brief Description of the Drawings

[0025] To make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be further described in detail below through the accompanying drawings and embodiments. However, it should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the scope of the present invention. In addition, in the following description, the descriptions of well-known structures and technologies are omitted to avoid unnecessarily confusing the concepts of the present invention.
[0026] Embodiment 1 A method for batch production of dishes based on RFID plates according to the present invention is specifically implemented as Figure 1 - Figure 2 shown, including the following steps: S1: Maintain the RFID plate types in the system to complete plate classification; S2: Import the physical numbers of RFID plates into the system according to the RFID plate types described in S1; S3: Bind the plate type according to the dish production information in the system; S4: The settlement terminal reads the physical number of the RFID plate that is currently serving a meal, and queries whether this physical number belongs to the legal physical numbers imported in S2; if it is legal, query the plate type corresponding to this RFID plate physical number and the current dish production information corresponding to this plate type; S5: Return the final result queried in S4 to the settlement terminal, and the settlement terminal displays the final result, ending the process.
[0027] In this embodiment, The plate types in S1 are distinguished according to the plate shape or color.
[0028] The physical number described in S2 serves as the unique identification number of the plate.
[0029] The dish production information described in S3 includes the store, date, meal type, and dish variety.
[0030] The final result described in S5 includes "illegal plate", "plate without produced dish", and "dish, amount"; the "illegal plate" is the return result when the physical number in S4 is an illegal physical number; the "plate without produced dish" is the return result when the current specific information is not queried in S4; the "dish, amount" is the return result when the physical number in S4 is legal and the current dish production information is queried for the plate type.
[0031] Embodiment 2 The following is the process operation of a specific embodiment: 1) Maintain the plate type in the system For example: Create a plate type of "square plate"; 2) Import the physical numbers of RFID plates into the system according to the plate type; For example: Import the physical numbers of the RFID chips built into 10,000 "square plates" into the system.
[0032] 3) Bind the plate type according to the date, meal type, and dish; For example: On October 22, 2024, in the lunch of Store A, the "square plate" produces the dish "scrambled eggs with tomatoes"; At the same time, on-site, due to the limited number of tableware of one plate type, it may be necessary to use the tableware of 2 or more plate types. For example: On October 22, 2024, in the lunch of Store A, both the "round plate" and the "hexagonal plate" produce the dish "shredded pork with green peppers"; 4) When the settlement terminal uses the antenna to read the physical number of the RFID plate of the dining plate and queries the dishes and prices from the platform through the interface, it queries the plate type through the plate number, and obtains the dishes and prices bound to the plate type on the current date and meal type and returns them to the settlement terminal for display by the settlement terminal.
[0033] For example: when the settlement terminal reads the plate number as "XXX", and after querying through the system, it knows that the type of this plate is "square plate", and the dish produced in this meal is "scrambled eggs with tomatoes", and returns the relevant dishes and prices to the settlement terminal.
[0034] The above is the main process of the operation. At the same time, to meet the needs of production and calculation, we solve some illegal operations caused by forgetting or other reasons in the actual use process at the system level, so as to standardize the use of the system by users.
[0035] 1) Because of the need for settlement, only one dish can be produced for one type of plate. Therefore, the system also places restrictions on production. When a plate is selected by multiple dishes for production at the same time, the system will automatically remind and cannot be submitted.
[0036] 2) When getting a plate that has not been entered into the system, the terminal will prompt "illegal plate" to remind the customer to maintain the plate data in the system.
[0037] 3) When there is a plate in the system but it is used without being produced in this meal type, the system will prompt "unproduced plate" to remind the customer to produce the plate. After production in the system, it will take effect immediately.
[0038] Obviously, an embodiment of the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. By classifying RFID plates (in actual use, there will be distinctions in plate shapes and patterns), the physical numbers of the corresponding RFID chips are stored.
[0039] 2. Without the need for the terminal to perform writing and erasing operations on the RFID plate chip, the production work of dishes on the plate can be completed in batches.
[0040] 3. The RFID plates can be produced according to the date and meal type. The plates for dishes on different dates and meal types can be set at the same time, and the production data between different dates and meal types will not interfere with each other.
[0041] 4. Bind and produce according to the classification of the plate and the dish. Support the production of the same dish by one / multiple types of plates.
[0042] 5. The settlement terminal reads the physical number of the RFID food tray. Without reading any information from other blocks of the RFID chip, it obtains the dish information and price of the served dishes by interacting with the platform.
[0043] 6. The platform completes the verification of the date and meal type of the settlement terminal. The settlement terminal does not need to verify the date and meal type of the obtained dishes, which can ensure the data accuracy of the dishes on the served food trays. It can effectively avoid the need to physically clear the RFID chip data of the food trays that have been loaded with dishes but not settled. After switching the meal type or changing the date, the served dishes for each meal type will automatically change. There will be no problem of incorrect clearing of the dishes on the food trays due to physical writing across days, weeks, or months.
[0044] Embodiment III The embodiment of the device for batch serving of dishes based on RFID food trays of the present invention can be applied to any device with data processing capabilities.
