Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of computer technology, and in particular to a package number generation method and device. Background Art

[0002] In the logistics industry, a single waybill number can correspond to multiple package numbers. The number of package numbers corresponds to the number of packages waiting to be collected. By assigning package numbers to packages waiting to be collected, the collection and delivery processes are completed. A waybill number and its associated package numbers are typically generated only after the number of packages associated with the waybill number is known. However, many users ship large volumes, making it difficult to accurately determine the number of packages in advance. This creates inconvenience for users and impacts their shipping experience. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of this, an embodiment of the present invention provides a package number generation method and device, which can dynamically generate the package number required by the user even when the number of packages under the waybill is uncertain, ensuring that subsequent collection and other tasks are performed flexibly and efficiently, reducing operational procedures and time consumption, facilitating users to mail packages, and improving the user's mailing experience.

[0053] The following description of exemplary embodiments of the present invention is made in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which various details of the embodiments of the present invention are included to facilitate understanding. These details should be considered as merely exemplary. Therefore, it should be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications may 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, descriptions of well-known functions and structures are omitted in the following description.

[0054] It should be noted that the acquisition, storage, use, and processing of data in the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention comply with the relevant provisions of national laws and regulations.

[0055] Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a process of generating a package number according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0056] Step 101: Receive an order request from a user.

[0057] The user is an individual user or a business user who wants to mail a package.

[0058] Step 102: In response to the order request meeting the condition of uncertain total number of packages, a waybill number corresponding to the order request is generated and returned, and a no-package-number service flag is set for the waybill number.

[0059] The uncertainty condition for the total number of packages can be set based on the business. This uncertainty condition can include: the total number of packages in the order request is 0, there are no package details in the order request, or the request type for the order request is uncertainty.

[0060] If the order request meets the condition of uncertain total package count, generate a waybill number corresponding to the order request and return the generated waybill number to the user. Set the waybill number as a "no package count" service flag. Save the mapping between the user ID and the waybill number.

[0061] The waybill number can be set to the controlled status. When the package number corresponding to the waybill number is 0, that is, there is no package number under the waybill number, by setting the waybill number to the controlled status, the waybill number will not be issued to the subsequent links and subsequent production operations will not be processed.

[0062] Step 103: Receive a package number generation request; wherein the package number generation request includes: a waybill number and a target package number.

[0063] The target number of packages is the number of package numbers that need to be generated for the package number generation request. The package number generation request can be configured based on business needs. Users can submit multiple package number generation requests for the same waybill number to generate multiple package numbers for the same waybill number in batches, effectively meeting the production needs of different users.

[0064] Step 104: In response to whether the waybill number is set with a service identifier of a number of packages, a sequence string having a target number of packages is generated.

[0065] Step 105: For each sequence string, combine the sequence string with the waybill number to generate a package number under the waybill number.

[0066] The display format of the sequence string can be adjusted based on business needs. Package numbers can be set in the sequence string. For example, if the waybill number is AB01 and the target number of packages is 3, the three package numbers generated are: 1, 2, and 3. The resulting sequence string is: 1-0-, 2-0-, 3-0-. The 0 indicates that the package number belongs to a waybill with an uncertain number of packages. The generated package numbers are: AB01-1-0-, AB01-2-0-, AB01-3-0-. Setting package numbers in the sequence string facilitates steps such as labeling, sorting, and statistics.

[0067] The above solution generates package numbers for the target number of packages. After the package numbers are generated, they can be processed. This processing can include printing the package numbers, generating collection tasks, generating transportation tasks, generating delivery tasks, calculating collection fees, and performing related statistical analysis.

[0068] In the solution of this embodiment of the present invention, if the order request sent by the user meets the condition of an uncertain total package count, a waybill number corresponding to the order request is generated and returned, and a service flag indicating no package count is set for the waybill number. If the waybill number in the package number generation request is set with a service flag indicating no package count, each sequence string is combined with the waybill number to generate a package number corresponding to the target number of packages. Using this solution, even when the package count is uncertain, the package number required by the user can be dynamically generated, ensuring that subsequent collection and other tasks can be carried out flexibly and efficiently, reducing operational processes and time consumption, and improving the user's shipping experience.

[0069] In addition, users can also change the generated package number by sending package number generation requests and package number modification requests for the same waybill number multiple times to obtain a package number that meets the user's actual needs, making the package mailing process more efficient and smooth.

[0070] In the solution of the embodiment of the present invention, after combining the sequence string and the waybill number to generate the package number under the waybill number, it also includes: obtaining the package information corresponding to the package number; and generating and returning the waybill information corresponding to the package number based on the package number and the package information.

[0071] Package information may include the delivery address, shipping address, waybill type, package type, and time limit information. The package number and package information are combined to generate the corresponding shipping label information. This shipping label information is returned to the user, facilitating subsequent steps such as shipping label printing, package labeling, and package delivery and sorting.

[0072] Figure 2 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a process of generating a package number according to another embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 As shown, the method includes:

[0073] Step 201: Receive an order request sent by a user.

[0074] Step 202: In response to the order request meeting the condition of uncertain total number of packages, a waybill number corresponding to the order request is generated and returned, and a no-package-number service flag is set for the waybill number.

[0075] Step 203: Receive a package number generation request; wherein the package number generation request includes: waybill number, target package number and generation type.

[0076] Step 204: In response to the service identifier of whether or not the waybill number is set, and the type representation is added, all package numbers under the waybill number are deleted; and a sequence string with the target number of packages is generated based on the initial number.

[0077] The generation type can indicate a new addition or supplement. The generation type indicates a new addition, and the system needs to recreate a new package number based on the waybill number. Delete the package number of this user under the waybill number, and generate the required package number according to the rule of uncertain total number of packages. The initial number can be set as needed. The initial number is usually 1 or 0. For example, if the waybill number is AB01, the target number of packages is 2, and the initial number is 1, then the generated sequence string is: 1-0-, 2-0-. The generated package numbers are: AB01-1-0-, AB01-2-0-. Among them, 0 indicates that the package number belongs to a waybill with an uncertain number of packages, and 1 and 2 are package labels.

[0078] Step 205: In response to the service identifier of whether or not the waybill number is set, and the type characterization is added, the maximum sequence string corresponding to the waybill number is obtained; based on the maximum sequence string, a sequence string with the target number of packages is generated.

[0079] The system generates a new package number based on the existing package numbers associated with the waybill number. Based on the existing package numbers associated with the waybill number, the system generates the required package number according to the rules for an uncertain total number of packages. For example, if the waybill number is AB01 and two package numbers have already been generated: AB01-1-0- and AB01-2-0-, the current maximum sequence string is 2-0-. If the target number of packages is one, the new sequence string generated is 3-0-, and the new package number is AB01-3-0-.

[0080] Step 206: For each sequence string, combine the sequence string with the waybill number to generate a package number under the waybill number.

[0081] In this embodiment of the present invention, the package number generation request sent by the user includes a generation type. When a new generation type is specified, the system creates a new package number based on the waybill number. When a supplemental generation type is specified, the system creates a new package number based on the existing package number associated with the waybill number. Users can flexibly generate the required package numbers by selecting different generation types, adapting to various sorting and collection scenarios.

[0082] Figure 3 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a process of generating a package number provided by another embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 As shown, the method includes:

[0083] Step 301: Receive an order request sent by a user.

[0084] Step 302: In response to the order request meeting the condition of uncertain total number of packages, generate and return the waybill number corresponding to the order request, set a no-package-number service identifier for the waybill number, and set the waybill number to the order control state.

[0085] Set the waybill number to the controlled status. By setting the waybill number to the controlled status, the processing of the waybill number will stop at this stage and will not be sent to subsequent stages, and subsequent production and operation activities will not be carried out.

[0086] Step 303: Receive a release request; wherein the release request includes: waybill number.

[0087] When a user sends a package number generation request or a package number modification request, they can also send a control release request. A control release request is used to change the waybill number to a non-controlled state, allowing production operations such as collection to be performed on the waybill number.

[0088] Step 304: Obtain the total number of packages corresponding to the waybill number.

[0089] Step 305: In response to the total number of packages corresponding to the waybill number being greater than 0, the waybill number being set with a service flag indicating whether or not there are packages, and the waybill number being in a controlled state, the waybill number is modified to a non-controlled state.

[0090] In the solution of the embodiment of the present invention, after receiving the release request sent by the user, if the number of packages corresponding to the waybill number is greater than 0, and the waybill number is set with a service identifier of no package number, and the waybill number is in a controlled state, the waybill number is modified to a non-controlled state so that the waybill number can be sent to the subsequent links to continue the subsequent production operation processing.

[0091] In one embodiment of the present invention, after generating and returning the waybill number corresponding to the order request, the process further includes: receiving a package number modification request; wherein the package number generation request includes: the waybill number; and in response to whether the waybill number is set with a package number service identifier, modifying the package number corresponding to the waybill number according to the package number modification request.

[0092] Specifically, if the package number modification request includes at least one target package number, all package numbers associated with the waybill number are deleted and the at least one target package number is determined as the package number corresponding to the waybill number. Some users have independent R&D capabilities and can generate or obtain package numbers in advance. They can send these generated or obtained package numbers to the system via a package number modification request. The system trusts the package numbers sent by users and directly updates the package numbers associated with the waybill number based on the user's package number.

[0093] If the modification request does not include the target package number, and the package number modification request includes a modified package count, the modified package count in the modification request is obtained; the total package count corresponding to the waybill number is determined; and based on the modified package count and the total package count, the package number corresponding to the waybill number is modified. When a user sends a package number modification request including a modified package count, the system generates a package number for the waybill number based on the modified package count. Furthermore, for scenarios such as modifying the package count, logistics company operators can also generate the required package number by sending a package number modification request including a modified package count.

[0094] In one embodiment of the present invention, the package number associated with the waybill number is modified based on the modified package number and the total package number, including: in response to the modified package number being less than the total package number, deleting all package numbers associated with the waybill number; generating a package number associated with the waybill number with the modified package number as the number of packages; in response to the modified package number being greater than the total package number, determining the difference between the modified package number and the total package number as the number of newly added packages; obtaining the maximum package number corresponding to the waybill number; and generating a package number associated with the waybill number with the newly added package number as the number of packages based on the maximum package number.

[0095] If the modified package count is less than the total package count, delete all package numbers under the waybill number and generate and return a package number equal to the modified package count. When the package count is changed from large to small, delete all package numbers under the waybill number. Using the initial number as the base, generate a sequence string of the modified package count, thereby generating a package number equal to the modified package count. The initial number is usually 1 or 0. For example, if the waybill number is AB01, the modified package count is 4, the total package count is 5, and the initial number is 1, then delete all package numbers under the waybill number AB01, generating four package numbers: AB01-1-0-, AB01-2-0-, AB01-3-0-, and AB01-4-0-. AB01-MN- represents the Mth package under the AB01 waybill. When N is 0, the package number belongs to a waybill with an uncertain number of packages.

[0096] If the number of modified packages is greater than the total number of packages, the difference between the number of modified packages and the total number of packages is determined as the number of newly added packages; the maximum sequence string corresponding to the waybill number is obtained; and based on the maximum sequence string, the newly added package numbers under the waybill number are generated; wherein the number of newly added package numbers is the number of newly added packages.

[0097] When changing the package number from a small number to a large number, a new package number is generated based on the original package number. For example, if the package number for waybill AB01 is changed to 6 and the total number of packages is 4, two new package numbers will be added to the existing package number. The four existing package numbers are: AB01-1-0-, AB01-2-0-, AB01-3-0-, and AB01-5-0-. The current maximum sequence string is: 5-0-. Based on this, two new sequence strings are regenerated: 6-0 and 7-0, resulting in the two new package numbers: AB01-6-0- and AB01-7-0-.

[0098] Figure 4 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a processing flow of a package number generation request provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 4 As shown, the merchant sends an order request to the adaptation layer. The number of packages in the order request is 0, and the order request does not include package details.

[0099] The adaptation layer determines that the order request meets the uncertainty condition for the total package count. Based on the merchant information, it completes the service identifiers required by the logistics department and sets the "no total package count" service identifier. The order system recognizes the "no package count" service identifier and does not verify the package count in the waybill number. It supports users uploading custom package number generation rules.

[0100] After the Order Fulfillment Center (OFC) receives the order, it identifies that the total number of packages corresponding to the waybill number is 0 and the waybill number is set with a service indicator of whether there is a total number of packages. The waybill number is set to the control status and will not be issued to subsequent production links.

[0101] like Figure 4As shown in the figure, the merchant sends a package number generation request to Cloud Print. The package number generation request includes the waybill number, merchant ID, target package number, and generation type. If this is the first time this waybill is printed, the generation type is New; otherwise, the generation type is Supplemental.

[0102] Cloud Print will interact with OFC to obtain the package number. OFC generates multiple package numbers under the waybill based on the merchant account, waybill number, target number of packages, and generation type. The specific process is as follows:

[0103] When the generation type is New, all package numbers under this waybill number are deleted and new package numbers are generated for this waybill number. For example, if the waybill number is AB01 and the target number of packages is 3, the original package numbers under this waybill number will be deleted and new package numbers will be generated as follows: AB01-1-0-, AB01-2-0-, AB01-3-0-.

[0104] When generating a supplementary package, a package number equal to the target number of packages will be generated based on the existing package numbers under this waybill. For example, if the waybill number is AB01 and three package numbers have already been generated: AB01-1-0-, AB01-2-0-, and AB01-3-0-, and the target number of packages is 1, the next package number generated for the waybill number AB01 will be: AB01-4-0-.

[0105] After confirming the package number, Cloud Print obtains package information such as the delivery location and returns the package number and package information to the merchant. The merchant prints the package label based on the package number and package information.

[0106] Figure 5 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a processing flow of a package number modification request provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 5 As shown, the modification process is divided into merchant modification and operation modification. The specific process is as follows:

[0107] Merchants can only accurately determine the target package count when their products are shipped. The merchant sends a package number modification request, including the waybill number, to the adaptation layer. The adaptation layer pushes the package number modification request to the OFC.

[0108] After receiving a package number modification request, OFC performs the following judgment: If the total number of packages corresponding to the waybill number is not 0, the waybill number has a service flag indicating no package number, and the waybill number is in a controlled state, the waybill number is modified to a non-controlled state, causing the operations system to issue a pickup task for the waybill number. If the waybill number has a service flag indicating no package number, and the package number modification request includes a target package number, the package number associated with the waybill number is updated using the received target package number.

[0109] If the tracking number is identified as having no package count service indicator, and the package number generation request includes modifying the package count, the processing flow is as follows: when the package count is changed from large to small, all package numbers under the tracking number are deleted, and a new package number is generated under the tracking number with the modified package count.

[0110] When changing the number of packages from smaller to larger, a new package number is added to the existing package number and the package number corresponding to the waybill number is updated. For example, if the total number of packages in waybill AB01 is 4 and the number of packages is changed to 6, two new package numbers will be added to the existing package numbers. The four existing package numbers are: AB01-1-0-, AB01-2-0-, AB01-3-0-, and AB01-5-0-. The two new package numbers can be: AB01-6-0- and AB01-7-0-. The package numbers under waybill AB01 include: AB01-1-0-, AB01-2-0-, AB01-3-0-, AB01-5-0-, AB01-6-0-, and AB01-7-0-.

[0111] The two newly added package numbers can also be: JDV01-6-0-, JDV01-7-0-. The package numbers under waybill AB01 include: AB01-1-0-, AB01-2-0-, AB01-3-0-, AB01-5-0-, JDV01-6-0-, JDV01-7-0-. JDV01 represents the newly added package number for waybill AB01.

[0112] If the number of packages remains unchanged, that is, the total number of packages is equal to the number of modified packages, then the number of packages is considered to be unchanged and the package number under the waybill remains unchanged.

[0113] After the system regenerates the package number, it sends the package number for which the label needs to be printed to Cloud Print. Cloud Print assembles the package number and package information, generates and returns the label information, which is used to print the package label.
