Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.
[0038] In the related art, electronic product anti-theft tags are generally fixed directly on the product, such as by sticking or nailing it on the product. The electronic product anti-theft tags only alarm when leaving a preset range (such as the entrance of a shopping mall). They have a single function and poor scalability.
[0039] In response to the above problems, an embodiment of the present application provides an electronic product anti-theft device that is rich in functions, highly scalable, easy to operate, and has the function of displaying product information. At the same time, it triggers an alarm when leaving the preset range of the base station and through preset detection equipment, effectively ensuring the effectiveness of the device's anti-theft function.
[0040] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0041] Figure 1 1 is a schematic structural diagram of an electronic commodity anti-theft device according to an embodiment of the present application; Figure 2 This is another structural diagram of the electronic commodity anti-theft device shown in an embodiment of the present application.
[0042] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 The electronic commodity anti-theft device of the present application includes a device body 100, an anti-theft rope 200 for fixing the device to the commodity, and an anti-theft module for triggering an alarm.
[0043] The device body 100 has a display surface 110. It should be understood that the display surface 110 is the flat or curved surface of the device body 100 used to display product information. For example, if the device body 100 adopts a rectangular sign structure, the front of the device body 100 can serve as the display surface 110. A display screen 120 for displaying product information is provided on the display surface 110. In other words, the electronic product anti-theft device of the present application utilizes the display screen 120 on the device body 100 to display product information. An anti-theft jack 130 is provided on one side of the device body 100. The anti-theft jack 130 can be located on the side of the device body 100 adjacent to the display surface 110. The display screen 120 utilizes an electronic paper display. Electronic paper displays have excellent low power consumption. When not refreshing content, electronic paper displays do not consume power. Therefore, using an electronic paper display for displaying product information can significantly reduce the device's energy consumption. Furthermore, the display quality of an electronic paper display approximates that of a paper display, effectively improving the display quality of product information.
[0044] The anti-theft rope 200 has a fixed end 210 and a connecting end 220. The anti-theft rope 200 is connected to the device body 100 via the fixed end 210, and the connecting end 220 is detachably inserted into the anti-theft socket 130. It should be understood that when the connecting end 220 is not inserted into the anti-theft socket 130, it can be in a free-moving state. When the connecting end 220 is inserted into the anti-theft socket 130, the anti-theft rope 200 is in a locked state, thereby preventing the device from falling off the product or being manually removed. The anti-theft rope 200 can be made of steel wire or other high-strength composite materials between the fixed end 210 and the connecting end 220 to ensure the structural strength of the anti-theft rope 200.
[0045] An anti-theft module (not shown) is installed within the device body 100. When the anti-theft module, along with the device body 100, leaves the preset range of the base station or passes through a preset detection device, an alarm is triggered. The anti-theft module may include an RFID coil, which communicates with the base station or the preset detection device via radio waves. For example, when an item equipped with an electronic anti-theft device passes through an inspection area equipped with an RFID reader (i.e., the preset detection device), the RFID reader reads the information in the RFID coil and determines whether to trigger an alarm. Similarly, the base station can communicate with the RFID coil via radio waves to monitor the location of the electronic anti-theft device. When an item equipped with the electronic anti-theft device exceeds the preset range of the base station, an alarm is determined.
[0046] When the electronic commodity anti-theft device of the present application is in operation, the connection end 220 of the anti-theft rope 200 is passed through the preset position of the commodity and then inserted into the anti-theft hole 120 to fix the electronic commodity anti-theft device to the corresponding commodity. When the commodity with the electronic commodity anti-theft device leaves the preset range of the base station or passes through the preset detection equipment, an alarm is triggered to prevent theft. In addition, the electronic commodity anti-theft device realizes the product information display function through the display screen 120 on the device body 100.
[0047] In some embodiments, the display screen 120 includes a first display area 121 and a second display area 122 that are adjacent to each other. Either the first display area 121 or the second display area 122 is used to display product barcode information. It is understood that a separate area on the display screen 120 can be used to display product barcode information. This allows users to scan the barcode information on the display screen 120 when checking out, further enriching the functionality of the electronic product anti-theft device of this application.
[0048] Figure 3 This is another structural diagram of the electronic commodity anti-theft device shown in an embodiment of the present application.
[0049] Please refer to Figure 3 In some embodiments, the electronic product anti-theft device of the present application further includes: a wireless communication module 300 disposed in the device body 100. The wireless communication module 300 is electrically connected to the display screen 120, and the wireless communication module 300 receives an external display signal and transmits it to the display screen 120, so that the display screen 120 displays a corresponding image according to the display signal. The image content may include: product information and product barcode information. The product information may include but is not limited to: brand name, product name, model, material, instructions for use, production information, price information, and LOGO. Furthermore, the wireless communication module 300 may include: at least one of a WIFI module, a Bluetooth module, a 4G module, and a 5G module.
[0050] In the present application, the electronic article anti-theft device can communicate with the base station through the wireless communication module 300, and the base station is then connected to the intelligent control terminal through a wireless communication connection or a wired communication connection. In this way, the electronic article anti-theft device can be remotely controlled and data monitored through the intelligent control terminal.
[0051] In some embodiments, the electronic goods anti-theft device of the present application further includes: a locking module 400 disposed in the device body 100. The locking module 400 is used to lock and fix the connection end 220. The locking and fixing process may refer to mechanical locking or magnetic locking. Of course, locking can also be achieved in other ways, which are not limited here. The locking module 400 is electrically connected to the wireless communication module 300, so that the wireless communication module 300 can transmit the external unbinding signal to the locking module 400 after receiving it, so as to control the locking action of the locking module 400, such as releasing the locking state of the connection end 220, so that the electronic goods anti-theft device can be removed from the goods.
[0052] For example, after checking out using the product barcode information displayed on the display screen 120, an unbinding signal bound to the ID information of the corresponding electronic product anti-theft device is sent to the base station through the intelligent control terminal. When the corresponding electronic product anti-theft device receives the unbinding signal through the wireless communication module 300, the locking module 400 unlocks the connection end 220. In this way, the electronic product anti-theft device can be removed from the product, that is, the anti-theft function of the product is released.
[0053] In some embodiments, the connection end 220 is provided with a fixing member 230 connected to the distal end of the connection end 220. The fixing member 230 is provided with a fixing slot 231. Specifically, the fixing member 230 may be tapered, which allows for greater stability and ease of insertion of the fixing member 230 into the anti-theft jack 130. The locking module 400 includes a fixing plate 410. The fixing plate 410 is configured to move toward or away from the fixing slot 231 when the fixing member 230 is inserted into the anti-theft jack 130. It should be understood that when the fixing member 230 is inserted into the anti-theft socket 130, when the fixing plate 410 moves toward the fixing slot 231, the fixing member 230 can be clamped and fixed, that is, the connection end 220 is locked; and when the fixing plate 410 moves away from the fixing slot 231, the fixing member 230 can be released from the clamping state, that is, the locking state of the connection end 220 is released. Specifically, the fixing plate 410 can be driven by an electric push rod. Furthermore, the locking fixing slot 231 of the connection end 220 can be annular, thus effectively ensuring the effectiveness and stability of the fixing plate 410 when it is clamped into the fixing slot 231.
[0054] In some embodiments, the electronic article anti-theft device of the present application further includes a positioning module 500 disposed within the device body 100. The positioning module 500 may be a GPS module. The positioning module 500 is electrically connected to the wireless communication module 300. The positioning module 500 is configured to obtain the device's location information and transmit it to the wireless communication module 300. In this way, the device's location information can be sent to the intelligent control terminal via the wireless communication module 300, thereby enabling the acquisition of the article's location information and improving the convenience of article management.
[0055] In some embodiments, the electronic commodity anti-theft device of the present application further includes: an alarm module 600 disposed in the device body. The alarm module 600 is electrically connected to the wireless communication module 300, and the alarm module 600 is used to issue an alarm reminder based on the external alarm signal received by the wireless communication module 300. It should be understood that when the anti-theft module leaves the preset range of the base station or the alarm is triggered by the preset detection device, the intelligent control terminal sends an alarm signal, and the alarm module 600 issues an alarm reminder after receiving the alarm signal through the wireless communication module 300. Among them, the alarm module 600 can issue an alarm reminder through at least one of a sound reminder and a light reminder. For example, the alarm reminder can be issued by a buzzer sounding or by a flashing light tube.
[0056] In this embodiment, the electronic product anti-theft device of the present application is rich in functions and highly expandable; a display screen for displaying product information is set on the display surface of the device body, wherein the display screen adopts an electronic paper display screen, which has low power consumption and a display effect close to paper content, so that customers can clearly obtain product information and improve the shopping experience; the technical solution of the present application is connected to the product through the anti-theft rope and the device body to achieve rapid fixation, effectively improving the convenience of device operation; in the technical solution of the present application, the anti-theft module triggers an alarm when leaving the preset range of the base station and through the preset detection equipment, effectively ensuring the effectiveness of the anti-theft function.
