Attached Figure Description

[0037] To more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application or the prior art, the drawings used in the description of the embodiments or the prior art will be briefly introduced below. Obviously, for those skilled in the art, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative effort.

[0038] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating the first embodiment of the commodity data display system of the present invention;

[0039] Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating the first embodiment of the product data display method of the present invention.

[0040] The realization of the objective, functional features and advantages of the present invention will be further explained in conjunction with the embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. Detailed Implementation

[0041] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the technical solutions of this application and are not intended to limit this application.

[0042] To better understand the technical solution of this application, a detailed description will be provided below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0043] Based on this, embodiments of the present invention provide a product data display system, referring to... Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the architecture of a first embodiment of a commodity data display system according to the present invention.

[0044] In this embodiment, the product data display system includes at least: a data source layer, a data processing layer, an application service layer, and a terminal device, wherein the data source layer, the data processing layer, the application service layer, and the terminal device are connected in sequence;

[0045] The data source layer is used to acquire raw product data from multiple data sources;

[0046] The data processing layer is used to preprocess the original product data and store the preprocessed original product data in the product database;

[0047] The application service layer is used to perform authentication processing on the terminal device based on the access request when it receives an access request from the terminal device.

[0048] The application service layer is also used to forward the product data stored in the product database to the terminal device when authentication is successful;

[0049] The terminal device is used to display the product data.

[0050] It should be noted that obtaining raw product data from multiple data sources refers to obtaining product data from platform official websites, public databases, S&P and other third-party data sources through information acquisition methods such as web crawling, APIs or timed synchronization. The raw product data includes at least the current price, historical price, promotional activities, historical product order information and product attributes of each platform.

[0051] In this embodiment, since the prices of goods on different platforms may vary due to differences in attributes such as manufacturer, production date, and product model, and some platforms may experience data garbled characters or information transmission errors during information crawling, resulting in low reliability of the original product data, this embodiment can preprocess the original product data from multiple sources to improve the reliability of the data stored in the product database in order to improve the reliability of the product data in this system architecture.

[0052] When the application service layer of the product data display system receives an access request from a terminal device, it can send the product data stored in the product database to the terminal device for display. Before that, the terminal device requesting access to the product data can be authenticated to reduce the database access pressure caused by network attacks or invalid requests.

[0053] Understandably, authenticating terminal devices can involve verifying the login account password and account permissions when the terminal device sends an access request. After successful authentication, the application service layer forwards product data stored in the product database to the terminal device so that users can view the price data and historical price fluctuations of various products on different platforms, thereby improving the user's shopping experience.

[0054] Furthermore, the data processing layer is also used to perform at least one of data cleaning, data standardization, and anomaly checking on the original product data to obtain preprocessed original product data;

[0055] Determine the category to which the preprocessed original product data belongs;

[0056] The preprocessed original product data is stored in the target storage space of the product database according to the category.

[0057] Specifically, preprocessing the original commodity data refers to performing at least one of the following on the original commodity data: data cleaning, data standardization, and anomaly checking, in order to improve the reliability of each commodity data.

[0058] It should be understood that performing data cleaning on the original commodity data refers to clustering the original commodity data using a K-means clustering model to obtain at least one cluster center; calculating the deviation between each original commodity data and each cluster center; and cleaning the original commodity data according to the deviation to obtain preprocessed original commodity data.

[0059] While data transmission may result in garbled or incorrect information, the prices of goods are relatively stable, and the price fluctuations of the same product across different platforms are not significant. Therefore, by clustering the original product data, we can determine the price range for each product. By filtering the data based on this price range, we can improve the reliability of the data, reduce the rate of invalid views by subsequent users, and minimize the unnecessary use of the product database.

[0060] Furthermore, considering that historical prices of goods fluctuate, and that users have multiple options or subsidies when purchasing goods, resulting in significant fluctuations in actual transaction prices, this embodiment can not only cluster data based on current product prices, but also cluster historical product order data to obtain the acquisition price and acquisition method of historically low-priced goods, thereby providing users with preferential purchase assistance solutions and improving the user's purchase experience.

[0061] Performing data standardization on raw commodity data refers to obtaining the monetary unit of the raw commodity data.

[0062] The original commodity data is standardized according to the monetary unit to obtain preprocessed original commodity data.

[0063] In practice, due to the different payment methods and currencies available on some platforms, and the impact of tariffs in international trade, there are certain differences in the prices of goods on different platforms. When preprocessing the commodity data, the monetary units of each commodity can be unified to reduce the workload of subsequent commodity data charting.

[0064] Performing anomaly checks on the original product data refers to obtaining historical product data from the original product data.

[0065] Construct a scatter plot of product data based on the historical product data;

[0066] Based on the scatter plot of the product data, anomaly checks are performed on the original product data to obtain preprocessed original product data.

[0067] It is understandable that, since the value of goods is relatively stable, the price of goods in the current period should not fluctuate much compared to historical goods data, and the historical sales volume of each goods should also fluctuate relatively little. However, in special circumstances, the price and sales volume of goods can change significantly. Therefore, this embodiment constructs a scatter plot of goods data based on historical goods data to detect price and sales fluctuations of each goods, thereby determining whether there are any abnormal situations. For example, if a serious infectious disease occurs in a certain area, the sales volume of local medical supplies will increase significantly, and early warning information can be generated in a timely manner to facilitate integrated medical protection.

[0068] Furthermore, the application service layer is also used to determine the user level of the terminal device when it receives an access request from the terminal device;

[0069] Based on the user level and the access request, the product data stored in the product database is forwarded to the terminal device.

[0070] It should be noted that, since some users place and return orders multiple times in a short period of time, affecting the platform's revenue and the utilization rate of database access space, this embodiment can set corresponding credit levels for different users. When faced with access requests with lower credit levels, only basic product data from the product database can be provided, while when faced with access requests with higher credit levels, more and richer product data can be provided to improve the user experience.

[0071] Furthermore, upon successful authentication, an access failure message is generated and sent to the terminal device.

[0072] Furthermore, the application service layer is also used to send a data access request to the data processing layer when authentication is successful, so that the data processing layer can provide the product data stored in the product database.

[0073] If authentication of a terminal device fails, it indicates that the terminal device may pose a security risk. To avoid loss of user accounts, this embodiment can re-authenticate the terminal device that failed authentication, thereby improving the utilization of database space.

[0074] Furthermore, the terminal device is also used to perform chart rendering on the received product data to obtain a product list;

[0075] Display the product list.

[0076] To facilitate faster product comparison for users, this embodiment can render charts for product data to obtain a product data list for each product, which stores product comparison data from various platforms.

[0077] This embodiment obtains raw product data from multiple data sources through the data source layer; the data processing layer preprocesses the raw product data and stores the preprocessed raw product data in the product database; when the application service layer receives an access request from a terminal device, it performs authentication processing on the terminal device based on the access request; when authentication is successful, the application service layer forwards the product data stored in the product database to the terminal device; the terminal device displays the product data. By preprocessing the raw product data from multiple data sources and displaying various types of product data from the entire network upon receiving an access request from a terminal device, the embodiment enhances the user's shopping choices.

[0078] Based on this, embodiments of the present invention provide a method for displaying product data, referring to... Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating the first embodiment of a product data display method according to the present invention.

[0079] In this embodiment, the product data display method includes:

[0080] Step S10: The data source layer acquires raw product data from multiple data sources.

[0081] Step S20: The data processing layer preprocesses the original product data and stores the preprocessed original product data in the product database.

[0082] Step S30: When the application service layer receives an access request from a terminal device, it performs authentication processing on the terminal device based on the access request.

[0083] Step S40: When authentication is successful, the application service layer forwards the product data stored in the product database to the terminal device.

[0084] Step S50: The terminal device displays the product data.

[0085] It should be noted that the executing entity in this embodiment can be a computing service device with data processing, network communication, and program execution functions, such as a tablet computer, personal computer, or mobile phone, or an electronic device or cloud server capable of performing the above functions. The following description uses a cloud server as an example to illustrate this embodiment and the subsequent embodiments.

[0086] It should be noted that obtaining raw product data from multiple data sources refers to obtaining product data from platform official websites, public databases, S&P and other third-party data sources through information acquisition methods such as web crawling, APIs or timed synchronization. The raw product data includes at least the current price, historical price, promotional activities, historical product order information and product attributes of each platform.

[0087] In this embodiment, since the prices of goods on different platforms may vary due to differences in attributes such as manufacturer, production date, and product model, and some platforms may experience data garbled characters or information transmission errors during information crawling, resulting in low reliability of the original product data, this embodiment can preprocess the original product data from multiple sources to improve the reliability of the data stored in the product database in order to improve the reliability of the product data in this system architecture.

[0088] When the application service layer of the product data display system receives an access request from a terminal device, it can send the product data stored in the product database to the terminal device for display. Before that, the terminal device requesting access to the product data can be authenticated to reduce the database access pressure caused by network attacks or invalid requests.

[0089] Understandably, authenticating terminal devices can involve verifying the login account password and account permissions when the terminal device sends an access request. After successful authentication, the application service layer forwards product data stored in the product database to the terminal device so that users can view the price data and historical price fluctuations of various products on different platforms, thereby improving the user's shopping experience.
