[0051] In the related art, when pricing customized items, for example, when customizing a cabinet, the price of the cabinet to be customized needs to be determined based on the cabinet's projected area, door height, drawers, material, whether it contains light strips, and other attributes. The attributes of the cabinet price are relatively numerous, making it difficult to determine the price. The related art usually relies on complex Excel spreadsheets and formulas, which requires users to have high Excel operation skills. This is particularly difficult for ordinary users and can easily lead to confusion and errors in the configuration process, affecting the final pricing accuracy, and may cause customer dissatisfaction and trust issues. In addition, because the pricing rules for customized items are numerous and complex, involving multiple attributes such as material, size, and color, each attribute has different pricing rules, making the pricing process very cumbersome and time-consuming. In addition, the readability of pricing using Excel formulas is also poor, and Excel spreadsheets do not have a boundary verification function. Therefore, errors such as some customized items corresponding to multiple pricing formulas or some customized items having no matching pricing formulas may occur, reducing the accuracy of pricing.

[0052] To address the technical issues in related technologies, the present disclosure provides a method, device, and storage medium for determining item prices. This technical solution rapidly identifies matching pre-set pricing rules based on the attribute values ​​of the item being customized, and automatically generates prices using these pre-set pricing rules with high accuracy.

[0053] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0054] Example Architecture

[0055] Figure 1 FIG. 1 shows a system architecture to which the method for determining the price of an item according to an embodiment of the present disclosure can be applied. Figure 1As shown, the system architecture may include a client device 11, a customization server 12, and an operator-side device 13. The client device 11 and the customization server 12 may communicate via a network providing a communication link, and the operator-side device 13 and the customization server 12 may also communicate via a network providing a communication link. The network may include various connection types, such as wired or wireless communication links or fiber optic cables.

[0056] The client device 11 may be installed with an application capable of customizing items, such as a home improvement application. A designer or user may log in to the application and input the attribute information of the item to be customized through the client interface.

[0057] The client device 11 can be any electronic device that can realize item customization, including but not limited to mobile terminals such as mobile phones, mobile phones, laptops, digital broadcast receivers, personal digital assistants (PDAs), and portable Android devices (PADs).

[0058] The customization server 12 can be a server that provides various services. For example, based on the attribute information uploaded by the client device 11, it matches the pre-designed pricing rules for determining the price of the item to be customized; or it automatically verifies the customized product combination and pricing rules input by the operator through the operation terminal device 13.

[0059] The operation-end device 13 can be any maintenance device capable of setting rules and customizing product combinations, including but not limited to computers, laptops, and other devices. Through the operation-end device 13, operators can create customized product combinations based on various customizable minimum stock keeping units (SKUs) and set pre-designed pricing rules.

[0060] It should be noted that the method for determining the price of an item provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure may be executed by the customization server 12 , and accordingly, the device for determining the price of an item may be provided in the customization server 12 .

[0061] It should be understood that Figure 1 The number of client devices 11, customization servers 12, and operation-end devices 13 in the embodiment is merely illustrative. Any number of client devices 11, customization servers 12, and operation-end devices 13 may be provided according to implementation requirements.

[0062] In this system architecture, a database may be provided in the customization server 12 for storing various customized product combinations and pricing rules corresponding to the customized product combinations.

[0063] Exemplary Methods

[0064] Figure 2 This is a flow chart of an embodiment of a method for determining an item price disclosed herein; the method for determining an item price can be applied to electronic devices (such as computer systems, servers), such as Figure 2 As shown, the method for determining the price of an item includes the following steps:

[0065] In step 201, in response to receiving an item customization operation, an item customization interface corresponding to the item customization operation is displayed, where the item customization operation carries the item type of the item to be customized.

[0066] The item customization action indicates the actions triggered by the user on the application interface to customize an item. The item customization interface allows users to set the attributes of the item to be customized. The item type indicates the category of the item to be customized, such as cabinet, ceiling rail, or floor rail.

[0067] Specifically, the user can trigger the item customization operation through a customization entry on the application interface, such as a customization button.

[0068] As an example, when a user wants to customize a cabinet, he or she may enter "cabinet" in the customization search box of the application interface, and the client interface may then display the item customization interface corresponding to the cabinet.

[0069] In step 202, the attribute values ​​of the item to be customized set by the user through the item customization interface are received.

[0070] Among them, the attributes of the item to be customized are used to describe the intuitive characteristics, functions and applications of the item. For example, the attributes of the item to be customized include the size of the item (such as length, width, height, projected area), shape (such as round, square or irregular shape), material (such as metal, plastic or wood), color and other attributes. It can also include the switch position of the item, adjustment method, etc.

[0071] In this embodiment, the user can input the attribute values ​​of various attributes of the item to be customized through the item customization interface.

[0072] As an example, when a user wants to customize a hanging rail, he can use the item customization interface of the hanging rail to set the color of the hanging rail to mixed oil white, the glass to double-sided white oil sand + grid, the width to 1800 mm, the height to 1600 mm, the thickness to 2400 mm, and so on.

[0073] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the item customization interface may include at least one customized product combination corresponding to the item type of the item to be customized. When a user inputs the attribute value of the item to be customized through the item customization interface, the available customized product combinations may be first determined based on the selection operation triggered by the user for at least one customized product combination; and then the attribute value of the item to be customized entered by the user on the information setting interface corresponding to the available customized product combination may be received.

[0074] As an example, when a user wants to customize a hanging rail, there are two customized product combinations for customizing the hanging rail on the item customization interface of the hanging rail. The user selects the first customized product combination as the available customized product combination according to the customization requirements, and the device can display the information setting interface corresponding to the available customized product combination, so that the user can enter the attribute values ​​of multiple attributes of the item to be customized through the information setting interface of the available customized product combination.

[0075] In step 203, based on the attribute values ​​of the item to be customized, a pre-designed pricing rule corresponding to the item to be customized is determined. The pre-designed pricing rule is a pricing rule that is pre-configured and has undergone boundary verification.

[0076] The pre-designed pricing rule is a pre-set standard that should be followed when calculating the price of the item to be customized based on the attribute information of the item to be customized. The standard has undergone boundary verification and the verification result is verification passed.

[0077] In the disclosed embodiment, each customized product combination may correspond to multiple pricing rules. After setting the attribute values ​​of multiple attributes of the items to be customized according to each customized product combination, a specific pricing rule may be matched.

[0078] As an example, a cabinet can have two corresponding customized product combinations, one of which is a cabinet package with a projected area of ​​34 square meters. There are four pricing rules corresponding to this customized product combination, and the cabinet configurations corresponding to these four pricing rules are different. When the user selects this customized product combination to set the attribute value of the attribute information of the item to be customized, it can match a specific pricing rule among these four pricing rules.

[0079] In step 204, based on the attribute values ​​of the item to be customized and using pre-set pricing rules, a price of the item to be customized is generated.

[0080] Among them, the pre-designed pricing rules include a specific pricing algorithm, which can be used to calculate the attribute values ​​of multiple attributes of the customized items to generate the price of the customized items. For example, a pricing algorithm for doors is "(height-1000)*1.5+(thickness-20)*34+1000". If the height of the cabinet to be customized is 1900 mm and the thickness of the door is 30 mm, according to the pricing algorithm, the price can be obtained as (1900-1000)*1.5+(30-20)*34+1000=2690 yuan.

[0081] In other implementations, different pricing rules may correspond to a specific price. This price may be calculated by operators using a preset pricing algorithm, or may be an empirical price determined based on market conditions or commodity supply and demand. This implementation, after determining a matching pre-set pricing rule based on the attribute values ​​of the item being customized, directly uses the price in that pre-set pricing rule as the price of the item being customized, eliminating the need for calculation and resulting in greater efficiency.

[0082] In the above steps 201 to 204, for scenarios where the price of a customized item needs to be determined, upon receiving an item customization operation triggered by a user or designer, the item customization interface corresponding to the item customization operation can be displayed; the attribute values ​​of multiple attributes of the item to be customized set by the user through the item customization interface can be received; based on the attribute values ​​of the multiple attributes of the item to be customized, the pre-designed pricing rules for the item to be customized can be determined; and based on the attribute values ​​of the multiple attributes of the item to be customized, the price of the item to be customized can be generated using the pre-designed pricing rules. Therefore, when an item needs to be customized, the technical solution of the present disclosure matches the attribute values ​​of the multiple attributes of the item to be customized input by the user to the corresponding pre-designed pricing rules, thereby automatically generating the price of the item to be customized; since the pre-designed pricing rules are pricing rules that match the attribute values ​​of the multiple attributes of the item to be customized, the price generated according to the pre-designed pricing rules is more accurate.

[0083] In order to better illustrate the solution of determining the price of an item disclosed in the present invention, another embodiment is described below.

[0084] Figure 3 This is a flow chart of determining the pre-designed pricing rules in the method for determining the price of an item disclosed in the present invention; this embodiment takes how to determine the pre-designed pricing rules for an item to be customized as an example for illustrative purposes. Figure 3 As shown, the following steps are included:

[0085] In step 301, the attribute values ​​of the item to be customized are compared with the attribute value range of any pricing rule corresponding to the available customized product combination one by one according to the attributes to obtain the pricing rule matching the item to be customized.

[0086] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the correspondence between customized product combinations and pricing rules is an n:n relationship. One customized product combination corresponds to one or more pricing rules, and one pricing rule corresponds to one or more customized product combinations. After the available customized product combinations are determined according to the selection operation triggered by the user, one or more pricing rules corresponding to the available customized product combinations can be obtained.

[0087] Among them, the correspondence between the customized product combination and the pricing rules is pre-configured by the operation personnel and stored in the database, so one or more pricing rules corresponding to the available customized product combination can be obtained in the database.

[0088] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, a pricing rule includes the attribute value range of each attribute information of the customized item, and also includes pricing conditions and pricing algorithms.

[0089] For example, see Figure 4 , which illustrates the four pricing rules corresponding to the available customized product combination 1 of "hanging rail, floor rail". The first pricing rule illustrates the attribute value ranges of each attribute information of the customized item as "track - unlimited, pattern - unlimited, glass - unlimited, opening - unlimited, door lock - unlimited, width - 1800-3200 (mm), height - 1600-2200 (mm), thickness - 240-500 (mm)". The second pricing rule illustrates the attribute value ranges of each attribute information of the customized item as "track - unlimited, pattern - unlimited, glass - unlimited, opening - unlimited, door lock - unlimited, width - 3201-3600 (mm), height - 2201-2400 (mm), thickness - 240-500 (mm)". According to the above two pricing rules, it can be seen that the attribute value ranges of each attribute information of different pricing rules may be different.

[0090] Among them, the pricing condition is a constraint condition for the attribute values ​​of at least two attributes among multiple attributes. For example, the attribute value range is "unlimited height, unlimited width", but the pricing condition is "width*height is greater than 2". This pricing condition constrains the product of width and height to be greater than 2. If this pricing condition is not met, the pricing algorithm in the pricing rule cannot be used to determine the price of the customized item.

[0091] It is understandable that if the valuation condition is empty, such as Figure 4 If the pricing conditions in the four pricing rules shown in the figure are all empty, it can be understood that there are no pricing conditions. As long as the attribute value range of the pricing rule is met, the pricing algorithm in the pricing rule can be used to determine the price of the customized item.

[0092] In the disclosed embodiment, by comparing the attribute values ​​of multiple attributes of the item to be customized with the attribute value ranges of multiple attributes of any pricing rule corresponding to the available customized product combination, a pricing rule matching the item to be customized can be obtained.

[0093] In step 302, it is determined that the pricing rule that matches the item to be customized is a pre-set pricing rule.

[0094] The pre-set pricing rules are matching pricing rules determined based on the attribute values ​​of each attribute information of the item to be customized.

[0095] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, after determining the matching pre-designed pricing rules based on the attribute values ​​of each attribute information of the item to be customized, it is further possible to determine whether the pricing conditions in the pre-designed pricing rules are met. In response to the fact that the attribute values ​​of multiple attributes of the item to be customized input by the user do not meet the pricing conditions included in the pre-designed pricing rules, a prompt message is generated and output so that the user can reset the attribute values ​​of the item to be customized.

[0096] Through the above steps 301 to 302, it is possible to determine the matching pre-designed pricing rules based on the attribute information of the item to be customized, and the pricing conditions in the pre-designed pricing rules can be further used to screen the pricing algorithms applicable to the item to be customized, which is beneficial to improving the accuracy of the price of the item to be customized generated by the application.

[0097] Since prices fluctuate due to the influence of various factors such as market supply and demand and currency value, in order to provide accurate prices for users' customized items, the technical solution disclosed in this disclosure can edit existing customized product combinations or add new customized product combinations based on the operations of operators. Figure 5 This is a flowchart of editing a customized product combination in the method for determining the price of an item disclosed in the present invention; this embodiment uses how to edit a customized product combination as an example to illustrate, Figure 5 As shown, the following steps are included:

[0098] In step 501, in response to receiving an editing operation for a customized product combination, a boundary check is performed on the customized product combination after the editing is completed according to a preset check method.

[0099] The editing operation includes at least one of the following: add, change, and delete. The operator can add a customized product combination and add the corresponding pricing rules (grouped attribute value range, pricing conditions, and pricing algorithm) for the customized product combination. Figure 6The figure shows how operators can use a windowed interface to assist in entering pricing formulas within pricing rules. Using the formula editor, operators can enter and edit pricing algorithms to meet the pricing requirements of different customized products and various complex pricing scenarios, ensuring the accuracy and flexibility of the prices determined by the pricing algorithms for customized items. Operators can also modify the pricing rules for existing customized product combinations, delete existing combinations, or merge different pricing rules for existing combinations.

[0100] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the user triggers the edit completion operation through the interface, such as through Figure 6 Click the "Finish" button in the interface shown to get the customized product combination after editing.

[0101] Among them, the preset verification method includes at least one of the following: overlap verification with other existing customized product combinations, verification covered by pricing rules, continuity verification of attribute value ranges corresponding to different pricing rules, and overlap verification of attribute value ranges corresponding to different pricing rules.

[0102] Specifically, the overlap check with other existing customized product combinations refers to: systematically checking all customized product combinations of the same type of items to ensure that there is no overlap or conflict between different customized product combinations. This check can effectively prevent pricing errors caused by overlapping customized product combinations.

[0103] Pricing rule coverage verification automatically verifies that all custom product combinations are covered by existing pricing rules. This ensures that each custom product combination has a corresponding pricing rule, preventing situations where some custom product combinations lack a corresponding pricing rule, thereby improving comprehensiveness and accuracy of pricing.

[0104] Continuity checking of attribute value ranges across different pricing rules detects gaps between them. This ensures that all custom product combinations are covered by the pricing rules, avoiding gaps between them and ensuring the continuity and integrity of the pricing rules.

[0105] Overlap check for attribute value ranges corresponding to different pricing rules: Automatically check for overlap between different pricing rules. This check promptly identifies and corrects overlapping pricing rules, ensuring that each pricing rule is independent and unique, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of pricing rules.

[0106] In some optional implementations, a dynamic script rule engine, such as the QLExpress (QuickLanguage Express) rule engine, can be introduced to define the boundary conditions of the pricing rules, implement the above-mentioned verification of customized product combinations, and uniformly manage and schedule various pricing rules.

[0107] Furthermore, if a verification result of passing is obtained through the above-mentioned preset verification method, step 502 can be executed. If a verification result of failing is obtained through the above-mentioned preset verification method, the operating personnel can be reminded to re-edit the customized product combination.

[0108] In step 502 , in response to the verification result indicating that the verification is passed, the customized product combination after editing is stored.

[0109] In the disclosed embodiment, the edited customized product combination and the corresponding pricing rules can be stored in a database to enable subsequent designers or users to generate prices for the customized items when customizing the items.

[0110] Through the above steps 501 to 502, the implementation method of editing the customized product combination is disclosed, which provides a good solution for scenarios in various fields where the prices of customized products need to be updated. By performing boundary verification on the edited customized product combination, the continuity and integrity of the pricing rules can be ensured, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of the pricing rules.

[0111] Corresponding to the aforementioned embodiment of the method for determining the price of an item, the present disclosure also provides an embodiment corresponding to the apparatus for determining the price of an item.
