[0032] It should be noted that in the technical solution of the present invention, in terms of the collection / collection, update, analysis, use, transmission, storage, etc. of user personal information, it complies with the provisions of relevant laws and regulations, is used for legal and reasonable purposes, and is not shared, leaked or sold outside these legal uses, and is subject to the supervision and management of national regulatory authorities. Necessary measures should be taken for user personal information to selectively prevent the use or access of personal information data to prevent illegal access to such personal information data, ensure that personnel with the right to access personal information data comply with the provisions of relevant laws and regulations, and ensure the security of user personal information. In addition, once these user personal information data are no longer needed, the risk should be minimized by restricting or even prohibiting data collection and / or deleting data.

[0033] The following describes exemplary embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings. Various details of the embodiments of the present invention are included to facilitate understanding, and they should be considered merely exemplary. Therefore, those of ordinary skill in the art should recognize that various changes and modifications can be made to the embodiments described herein without departing from the scope and spirit of the present invention. Similarly, for the sake of clarity and conciseness, the description of well-known functions and structures is omitted below.

[0034] Considering that the cloud warehouse management system undertakes orders from different trading platforms, and the orders of different trading platforms correspond to different printing components. For example, the orders of trading platform A use printing component A. Then, when the orders in the same wave come from different trading platforms, for the orders submitted for printing in sequence, since each printing plugin prints in parallel, it is impossible to ensure that the printing order is consistent with the submission order, which may lead to problems such as shipping the wrong goods or overshipping when using pre-printing for fast shipping, increasing the cost of verification and review, reducing the user experience of merchants, and not being able to well meet the actual needs.

[0035] To solve the above problems existing in the prior art, the present invention proposes a method for printing orders. For the set of orders to be printed in the same wave, using the first-in-first-out feature of the queue and using the queue as the underlying data structure, the set of orders to be printed is stored in the task queue corresponding to the wave, and the orders to be printed in it are orderly retrieved from the task queue and sent to the corresponding printing plugin for printing, realizing the orderliness of order printing, ensuring the consistency between the printing order and the wave order, not only providing a reliable guarantee for the fast shipping business, but also facilitating the management of printed orders.

[0036] Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of the main process of the order printing method according to an embodiment of the present invention. As Figure 1 shown, the order printing method according to the embodiment of the present invention includes the following steps S101 to S103.

[0037] Step S101, in response to receiving an order printing request, obtain a set of orders to be printed and the wave number of the set of orders to be printed.

[0038] Specifically, wave management of orders is a method to improve the efficiency of warehouse picking operations. It combines different orders into an order set according to a certain standard. When the cloud warehouse management system receives an order printing request, it parses the order printing request to obtain a set of orders to be printed composed of multiple orders to be printed within a period of time and the wave number of the set of orders to be printed. The specific method for obtaining the set of orders to be printed is determined according to a pre-agreed manner. The order numbers of each order to be printed can be packed into the order printing request, so that parsing the order printing request can directly obtain the order numbers of all orders to be printed, and then obtain the set of orders to be printed composed of all orders to be printed according to the order numbers. It is also possible to store all the order data to be printed in a specified storage unit, add the address of the storage unit to the order printing request, parse the order printing request to obtain the address, and access the address to obtain the set of orders to be printed.

[0039] Step S102, deposit the set of orders to be printed into the task queue corresponding to the wave number.

[0040] Specifically, considering that the warehouse picking operation is executed batch by batch according to the wave number, a task queue group is established, and each wave number corresponds to a task queue. During peak sales periods or when the transaction volume is large, in order to improve the shipping efficiency, orders are usually printed before picking. When shipping, the operators ship the orders in the order of the orders in the wave number and stick the order labels in order. Therefore, the orders to be printed need to be sorted according to a specified sorting rule to obtain the wave number order. The sorting rule herein is usually sorted according to the order of the order placement time. Of course, it is also possible to sort according to the area where the goods are stored, as long as the order sorting rule is consistent with the shipping order. Based on the sorted set of orders to be printed, they are deposited into the task queue corresponding to the wave number in sequence.

[0041] According to an embodiment of the present invention, before depositing the set of orders to be printed into the task queue corresponding to the wave number, the method further includes: obtaining a set of printing plugins corresponding to the set of orders to be printed; checking and determining that the status of each printing plugin in the set of printing plugins is normal.

[0042] Specifically, before storing the order set to be printed into the task queue corresponding to the wave, it is also necessary to verify the printing plugins required for printing the order set to be printed in this wave. Since the order set to be printed is a set of orders in a wave, and the orders to be printed in the set may come from different trading platforms, the order set to be printed corresponds to a set of printing plugins composed of multiple printing plugins. Determine the corresponding set of printing plugins according to the trading platform information of each order to be printed in the order set to be printed obtained; check and determine that the connection status of each printing plugin is normal. If there is an abnormality, send an exception prompt message to restore the normal connection status as soon as possible.

[0043] Step S103: Sequentially obtain the orders to be printed in the order set to be printed from the task queue, determine the printing plugin corresponding to the order to be printed, and hand over the order to be printed to the printing plugin for order printing. Each order to be printed in the order set to be printed corresponds to a different printing plugin.

[0044] Specifically, the order set to be printed in the embodiment of the present invention is a set composed of multiple orders to be printed. Utilize the first-in, first-out characteristic of the queue to sequentially obtain the orders to be printed in the order set to be printed from the task queue. Determine the corresponding printing plugin according to the trading platform information in the order to be printed, and then submit the order to be printed to the corresponding printing plugin for printing. Obtain the orders to be printed in the same order as the wave through the task queue, and orderly schedule the corresponding printing plugins to ensure the consistency of the order.

[0045] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the orders to be printed in the order set to be printed in the task queue exist in the form of printing tasks; determining the printing plugin corresponding to the order to be printed includes: determining the plugin name and connection status of the printing plugin corresponding to the printing task of the order to be printed; in the case of an abnormal connection status, re - establish the connection between the printing plugin with abnormal status and the corresponding printing task.

[0046] Specifically, after storing the order set to be printed into the task queue, generate printing tasks for each order to be printed with the order to be printed in the order set to be printed as the dimension, and determine the plugin name of the printing plugin through the trading platform information in the order to be printed, that is, clarify a certain printing plugin corresponding to the trading platform information, and the connection status of this plugin, such as whether the connection is normal and whether it is in an idle state. If the connection status is abnormal, it is necessary to re - establish the connection between the printing plugin and this printing task to ensure subsequent normal printing.

[0047] According to another embodiment of the present invention, handing over the order to be printed to the printing plugin for order printing includes: using a thread pool to send the data of the order to be printed to the corresponding printing plugin for order printing.

[0048] Specifically, considering that each to-be-printed order in the to-be-printed order set of the embodiments of the present invention corresponds to a different printing plugin, in order to ensure the reliability of the scheduling of the printing plugin and the printing efficiency, the number of threads in the thread pool is defined according to the system resources and the types of printing plugins. The data of the to-be-printed order is sent to the corresponding printing plugin using the corresponding thread in the thread pool.

[0049] According to still another embodiment of the present invention, after handing over the to-be-printed order to the printing plugin for order printing, the method further includes: listening to the execution result of the printing plugin to obtain the printing result of the to-be-printed order, and feeding back the printing result to the requester of the order printing request.

[0050] Specifically, considering that the order printing in the existing cloud warehouse management system lacks the management of the printing process and results, in addition to ensuring the orderliness of order printing, the embodiments of the present invention also support the feedback of the printing results of each to-be-printed order in the to-be-printed order set. After handing over the to-be-printed order to the printing plugin for order printing, listen to the execution result of the printing plugin and feed back the printing result to the requester of the order printing request. Specifically, various ways can be used to listen to the execution result of the printing, such as waiting to obtain the status return value of the printing, or implementing it by listening to the printing driver.

[0051] According to yet another embodiment of the present invention, in the case where the execution result of the printing plugin is a printing failure, the method further includes: performing fault tolerance processing on the to-be-printed order with a printing failure using a retry mechanism in combination with a preset retry count and a preset printing timeout.

[0052] Specifically, in view that the working state of the printing plugin is easily affected by the external connection line, in order to ensure the printing success rate of the to-be-printed order as much as possible, the embodiments of the present invention use a retry mechanism. The data structure of each printing task in the task queue includes to-be-printed data, retry count, printing timeout, and printing result. In the case where the execution result of the printing plugin is a printing failure, according to the preset retry count and the printing timeout, retry printing the to-be-printed order with a printing failure. As long as it is within the printing timeout and does not exceed the retry count, the result of the printing task of the to-be-printed order is considered successful if the printing is successful.

[0053] According to another embodiment of the present invention, the printing of the to-be-printed order set is implemented in the form of a component; the method further includes: collecting the printing status of each to-be-printed order in the to-be-printed order set through a thread pool, obtaining the order printing progress of the wave according to the printing status of each to-be-printed order and the total number of to-be-printed orders in the to-be-printed order set, and displaying it in a visual client interface.

[0054] Specifically, for the convenience of popularization and application, the embodiment of the present invention constructs the order printing method into a printing management component, which is more convenient to use and maintain. In addition, to further improve the user experience, the embodiment of the present invention uses a thread pool to collect and statistically analyze the printing status of each pending print order in the pending print order set in real time. According to the printing status of each pending print order and the total number of pending print orders in the pending print order set, the order printing progress of this wave is calculated in real time and dynamically displayed in the front-end visual client interface, so that users can intuitively see the printing progress and improve user satisfaction.

[0055] Figure 2 It is a schematic diagram of the systematic functional principle of order printing in the embodiment of the present invention. It mainly includes a warehousing management platform with interactive capabilities; a printing plugin management module responsible for functions such as connecting each printing plugin, callback of printing results, and exception retry; a printing management component which is the core function of the embodiment of the present invention; and a printing driver responsible for listening to printing driver tasks and collecting printing results. When receiving an order printing request, the warehousing management platform obtains the pending print order and wave information, assembles the printing data according to a predetermined printing data format, sorts each pending print order in the pending print order set, and hands it over to the printing management component. The task transferrer in the printing management component is responsible for communicating with the warehousing management platform, receiving printing data, obtaining printing progress, printing results, and printing connection information, integrating and pushing them to the warehousing management platform for user display and relevant decision-making. The printing management component obtains the pending print order set and wave forwarded by the task transferrer, checks and determines that the status of each printing plugin in the printing plugin set corresponding to the pending print order set is a normal connection status. If there is an exception, an exception feedback is sent. Subsequently, the pending print orders are stored in the corresponding task queue according to the wave, printing tasks (task1, task2,...) of the pending print orders are generated, the printing tasks are sequentially obtained from the task queue, and according to the printing timeout time in the printing task, a timer Timer is assigned to each printing task. Before submitting the print, it is necessary to confirm and verify the connection status of the printing plugin corresponding to this printing task again. After the verification passes, the data of the pending print order is sent to the corresponding printing plugin for order printing using the threads in the thread pool. Listen to the execution result of the printing plugin to obtain the printing result of the pending print order. If the printing result fails, a retry mechanism is used to perform fault tolerance processing on this printing task, and the information that the printing is completed is sent to the timer to shut down this timing. At the same time, the printing result and the printing progress of this wave are fed back to the front-end warehousing management platform for display and recording of the printing result and printing progress.

[0056] As can be seen from the above, the order printing method provided by the embodiments of the present invention realizes accurate recording of printing results by orderly managing and printing orders across printing platforms in the same wave, solves the problems of disordered order printing and inaccurate printing results in existing cross-printing platforms, improves the operation efficiency of rapid delivery, solves pain points such as the mismatch between the delivery order and the order printing order, and moreover, increases the processing of abnormal printing results through fault tolerance processing, maximally improving the printing success rate. Additionally, by attaching the ability to provide real-time feedback on the printing progress and printing results of wave orders, it maximally meets the usage requirements.
