Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a technique for processing packaging information of goods. Prior Technology

[0002] E-commerce platforms now offer consumers a convenient shopping experience that is not limited by time or place. Through e-commerce platforms, consumers can easily order the goods they need without visiting physical stores. This development of e-commerce technology provides immense convenience by creating an environment where consumers can freely choose when and where to shop.

[0003] However, some consumers still prefer to visit department stores and other physical retail outlets to purchase goods. This is because physical stores offer products that are certified as genuine and officially distributed by the manufacturer or brand. Furthermore, the premium packaging offered in physical stores reinforces the consumer's belief in the product's authenticity, creating an aesthetically pleasing impression of high quality and thus providing a satisfying shopping experience.

[0004] To provide a shopping experience that surpasses that of brick-and-mortar stores, e-commerce platforms can offer a service where consumers order premium-packaged items, which are then delivered in high-quality boxes. Therefore, even when ordering goods through an e-commerce platform, consumers can experience the high reliability of genuine products and a sense of purchase satisfaction. Summary of the Invention

[0005] [The problem the invention aims to solve] When a consumer orders multiple items belonging to a premium packaging group, each item can be individually packaged in a premium box for delivery. For example, if a consumer orders five items belonging to a premium packaging group, each item can be packaged in a different premium box, resulting in a total of five premium boxes being delivered to the consumer. In this case, the consumer may find the packaging excessive and inconvenient, leading to waste of packaging materials. To solve this problem, if a portion of the multiple items belonging to the premium packaging group can be packaged together in one premium box, the total number of premium boxes required for packaging multiple items can be reduced. This reduces the inconvenience to consumers caused by excessive packaging and saves unnecessary packaging materials, providing a more environmentally friendly packaging service. Therefore, this invention provides a technique for recommending premium boxes that can be used to package at least two or more items belonging to a premium packaging group together to packaging personnel in distribution centers. [Technical means to solve the problem]

In the drawings and descriptions, identical or substantially equivalent constituent elements may be given the same reference numerals. Furthermore, in the following descriptions of the embodiments, repeated descriptions of identical or corresponding constituent elements may be omitted, but this does not imply that the constituent element is not included in the embodiment.

[0035] Figure 1 is a diagram illustrating a system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. According to one embodiment, system 100 may include at least one of an electronic device 110 or a server 120. On the other hand, Figure 1 only shows an example of a system 100 to which embodiments of the present invention can be applied, and the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, other entities not shown in Figure 1 may be included in system 100.

[0036] According to one embodiment, the electronic device 110 may be a device assigned to packaging workers who perform packaging operations on goods according to the packaging process of the distribution center. For example, the electronic device 110 may obtain packaging information of the goods and output it to a display. For example, when the electronic device 110 is assigned to packaging workers performing packaging operations in a general packaging station of the distribution center, the electronic device 110 in the general packaging station may obtain packaging information of goods belonging to the general packaging group and output it to a display. For example, when the electronic device 110 is assigned to packaging workers performing packaging operations in an advanced packaging station of the distribution center, the electronic device 110 in the advanced packaging station may obtain packaging information of goods belonging to the advanced packaging group and output it to a display.

[0037] For example, electronic device 110 can be implemented by a device capable of sending and receiving various information with server 120 via network 130. For example, electronic device 110 can be one of a desktop computer, laptop computer, portable communication terminal (smartphone, etc.), portable multimedia server, wearable server, or HMD. However, the type of electronic device 110 is not limited to these. Electronic device 110 can be any computing device including an input / output interface that can receive information from or output information to the user, and can communicate with server 120 or other servers via network 130.

[0038] According to one embodiment, server 120 may be a server that manages a distribution center. For example, server 120 may be a server that manages the outbound process of the distribution center. The outbound process may include at least one of the following processes: an order acceptance process for receiving orders for goods, a picking process for selecting ordered goods from goods displayed on shelves, or a packing process for packaging the picked ordered goods. For example, server 120 may be a server that manages the packing process within the outbound process of the distribution center.

[0039] According to one embodiment, server 120 can generate packaging information for at least one item belonging to a premium packaging group. For example, server 120 can obtain order information for at least one item. For example, server 120 can identify at least one item belonging to a premium packaging group among the at least one item indicated in the order information. For example, server 120 determines a premium box for packaging at least one item belonging to a premium packaging group, thereby generating packaging information for at least one item belonging to a premium packaging group. For example, server 120 determines a premium box for packaging at least two or more items belonging to a premium packaging group together, thereby generating packaging information for at least two or more items belonging to a premium packaging group. For example, server 120 determines a premium box for packaging a single item belonging to a premium packaging group individually, thereby generating packaging information for that single item belonging to a premium packaging group.

[0040] According to one embodiment, server 120 can generate packaging information for at least one item belonging to a common packaging group. For example, server 120 can obtain order information for at least one item. For example, server 120 can identify at least one item belonging to a common packaging group from the at least one item indicated in the order information. For example, server 120 determines a common box used to package at least one item belonging to a common packaging group, thereby generating packaging information for at least one item belonging to a common packaging group. For example, server 120 determines a common box used to package at least two or more items belonging to a common packaging group together, thereby generating packaging information for at least two or more items belonging to a common packaging group. For example, server 120 determines a common box used to package one item belonging to a common packaging group separately, thereby generating packaging information for that one item belonging to a common packaging group.

[0041] For example, server 120 can be implemented by more than one computing device. For example, all functions of server 120 can be implemented in a single computing device. Alternatively, the first function of server 120 can be implemented in a first computing device, and the second function can be implemented in a second computing device. Alternatively, multiple computing devices can be used to implement all or specific functions of server 120. For example, the computing device that can implement server 120 can be a desktop computer, a laptop computer, an application server, a proxy server, or a cloud server, but it is not limited to these; all types of servers with computing capabilities can be computing devices.

[0042] According to one embodiment, network 130 can connect electronic device 110, server 120, or other external servers. For example, network 130 can provide access paths to enable electronic device 110 to connect to server 120 and send and receive packet information with server 120. Network 130 can be implemented, for example, by all types of wired or wireless networks such as local area network (LAN), wide area network (WAN), mobile radio communication network, and Wibro (wireless broadband internet).

[0043] According to one embodiment, electronic device 110 and server 120 can operate as a single device. For example, electronic device 110 can be included in server 120 as all or part of its constituent elements. For example, various information transmitted and received between electronic device 110 and server 120 via network 130 can be various information transmitted and received between constituent elements within a single device. In this case, the action performed by electronic device 110 can be described as the action performed by server 120, and the action performed by server 120 can be described as the action performed by electronic device 110.

[0044] Figure 2 is a block diagram illustrating a computer device 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention. According to one embodiment, the electronic device 110 and the server 120 may each be implemented by one or more computing devices 200.

[0050] For example, the processor 210 can drive software (or computer programs) received from other components to control at least one component of the computing device 200 connected to the processor 210.

[0051] For example, processor 210 can load instructions, commands, (code or code segment) or information into memory 220, process the commands or data stored in memory 220, and store the processed data in memory 220.

[0052] For example, processor 210 is operatively connected to the components of computing device 200 to perform various operations such as calculations, processing, generation, or fabrication associated with the present invention.

[0053] According to one embodiment, memory 220 can store various types of data. The data stored in memory 220 is data obtained, processed, or used by at least one component of computing device 200, and may include software. The software may include one or more commands that, when loaded into memory 220, cause processor 210 to perform operations according to various embodiments of the present invention. That is, processor 210 can perform operations according to various embodiments of the present invention by executing one or more of the aforementioned commands.

[0054] For example, memory 220 may include volatile or non-volatile memory.

[0055] For example, a program, as software stored in memory 220, may include an operating system, application, or middleware for controlling the resources of computing device 200. The middleware provides various functions to the application so that the application can utilize the resources of computing device 200.

[0056] According to one embodiment, the communication interface 230 can establish wired or wireless communication channels with other devices and send and receive various information with other devices.

[0057] For example, communication interface 230 may include at least one port for connecting to other devices via a wired cable to perform wired communication with other devices. In this case, communication interface 230 can communicate with other wired devices via at least one port.

[0058] For example, the communication interface 230 may include a cellular communication module and be configured to connect to a cellular network (e.g., 3G, LTE, 5G, Wibro, or WiMAX).

[0059] For example, the communication interface 230 may include a proximity communication module and use proximity communication (e.g., Wi-Fi, BLE (Bluetooth, Bluetooth Low Energy), UWB) to send and receive information with other devices.

[0060] For example, the communication interface 230 may include a contactless communication module for contactless communication. The contactless communication may include at least one short-range contactless communication technology such as NFC (near field communication), RFID (radio frequency identification), or MST (magnetic secure transmission). In addition to the various examples described above, the computing device 200 can also be implemented in various known ways for communicating with other devices, and the scope of the present invention is not limited to the examples described above.

[0061] According to one embodiment, the computing device 200 may include a display. The display may show various screens (e.g., packaging information) under the control of the processor 210. For example, a web browser or dedicated application may be installed in the computing device 200 to display various screens. Furthermore, the display may be configured to interact with a user and receive user input. Such a display may be implemented as a touch sensor panel (TSP) capable of recognizing the touch or proximity of various external objects (e.g., a user's finger or stylus).

[0062] According to one embodiment, the computing device 200 may include an input device (e.g., a mouse or keyboard). The input device may receive information from outside the computing device 200 (e.g., a user) that will be used for the components of the computing device 200.

[0063] According to one embodiment, the computing device 200 may include a camera. The camera can capture images of objects such as goods or boxes, generating images of the objects. Furthermore, the camera can identify the identification code (barcode, QR code) of the goods or boxes and obtain the identification information of the goods or boxes encoded in the identification code. For example, if the identification information of a goods is already encoded in the identification code of the goods, the camera can obtain the identification information of the goods from the identification code. For example, if the identification information of a box is already encoded in the identification code of the box, the camera can obtain the identification information of the box from the identification code of the box.

[0064] The processor 210, memory 220 and communication interface 230 shown in Figure 2 can be connected to each other via bus, GPIO (general purpose input / output), SPI (serial peripheral interface) or MIPI (mobile industry processor interface) to exchange information or signals.

[0065] Figure 3 illustrates a premium packaging set 320 and a standard packaging set 330 according to an embodiment of the present invention. According to one embodiment, server 120 can obtain order information 310 for a plurality of products 311, 312, 313, 314. For example, the plurality of products 311, 312, 313, 314 indicated by order information 310 may include order items ordered by a consumer on an e-commerce platform. For example, the plurality of products 311, 312, 313, 314 indicated by order information 310 may include free gifts provided along with the ordered products. For example, order information 310 may include product information for each of the plurality of products 311, 312, 313, 314. For example, the product information for products 311, 312, 313, 314 may include at least one of the following: product name, image, price, capacity, quantity, weight, brand, rating, or size. For example, the dimensions included in the product information refer to the physical space occupied by the product, which may refer to its volume. For example, the dimensions included in the product information may indicate the product's lateral length, longitudinal length, and height. For example, when a product belongs to Premium Packaging Group 320, the product information for that product may further include a flag indicating that the product belongs to Premium Packaging Group 320. For example, when a product belongs to Ordinary Packaging Group 330 (not Premium Packaging Group 320), the product information for that product may not include a flag indicating that the product belongs to Premium Packaging Group 320. Alternatively, when a product belongs to Ordinary Packaging Group 330 (not Premium Packaging Group 320), the product information for that product may include a flag indicating that the product does not belong to Premium Packaging Group 320. It can be determined in advance whether a product belongs to Premium Packaging Group 320 or Ordinary Packaging Group 330. In this invention, products belonging to Premium Packaging Group 320 can be genuine products officially distributed by a certified manufacturer or brand.

[0066] According to one embodiment, server 120 can identify products belonging to premium packaging group 320 from among the plurality of products 311, 312, 313, and 314 indicated by order information 310. For example, server 120 can identify products belonging to premium packaging group 320 from among the plurality of products 311, 312, 313, and 314 based on product information of each of the plurality of products 311, 312, 313, and 314.

[0067] Referring to the example in Figure 3, server 120, in response to product information for product 311 including a flag indicating that product 311 belongs to Premium Packaging Group 320, can identify product 311 as belonging to Premium Packaging Group 320. For example, server 120, in response to product information for product 312 including a flag indicating that product 312 belongs to Premium Packaging Group 320, can identify product 312 as belonging to Premium Packaging Group 320. For example, server 120, in response to product information for product 313 including a flag indicating that product 313 belongs to Premium Packaging Group 320, can identify product 313 as belonging to Premium Packaging Group 320. For example, server 120, in response to product information for product 314, may identify product 314 as belonging to Standard Packaging Group 330 if it does not include a flag indicating that product 314 belongs to Premium Packaging Group 320 or includes a flag indicating that product 314 does not belong to Premium Packaging Group 320. However, the example in Figure 3 is merely an illustrative scenario, and the invention is not limited thereto.

[0068] Figure 4 is a diagram illustrating the advanced packaging process 400 of an advanced packaging group 410 according to an embodiment of the present invention. According to one embodiment, when there are two or more items belonging to the advanced packaging group 410 among the plurality of items indicated in the order information, the server 120 can determine an advanced box 420 for packaging at least two or more items 411, 412, and 413 belonging to the advanced packaging group 410 together. For example, the server 120 can determine the advanced box 420 for packaging at least two or more items 411, 412, and 413 together based on the dimensions of each of the at least two or more items 411, 412, and 413 belonging to the advanced packaging group 410. For example, in response to determining the advanced box 420 for packaging at least two or more items 411, 412, and 413 belonging to the advanced packaging group 410, the server 120 can generate packaging information for at least two or more items 411, 412, and 413 belonging to the advanced packaging group 410. For example, packaging information for at least two items 411, 412, and 413 belonging to premium packaging group 410 can indicate a premium box 420 for packaging at least two items 411, 412, and 413 belonging to premium packaging group 410 together, and a regular box 430 for packaging premium box 420. That is, at least two items 411, 412, and 413 belonging to premium packaging group 410 can be initially packaged in premium box 420 and then secondarily packaged in regular box 430.

[0069] For example, the premium case 420 may have a different shape or texture than the ordinary case 430.

[0070] For example, the premium case 420 may have a color different from that of the ordinary case 430. For instance, the premium case 420 may have a first color, and the ordinary case 430 may have a second color different from the first color. The first color, indicating that the goods packaged in the premium case 420 belong to the premium packaging group 410, may be a color with a saturation lower than a predetermined value (e.g., black). The second color may be a color with a higher saturation than the first color.

[0071] For example, the premium case 420 may be a case with an outer surface coating that has a different texture from that of the ordinary case 430. For example, the outer surface of the premium case 420 may have a first texture that indicates that the goods packaged in the premium case 420 belong to the premium packaging group 410, and the roughness of the first texture may be lower than that of the second texture of the outer surface of the ordinary case 430.

[0072] For example, text indicating that the goods packaged in the premium case 420 belong to the premium packaging group 410 may be printed on the outer surface of the premium case 420. For example, the text printed on the outer surface of the premium case 420 may indicate that the goods packaged in the premium case 420 have been certified as genuine products officially distributed by the manufacturer or brand.

[0073] For example, waybills for goods packaged in the ordinary box 430 and the corresponding premium box 420 can be attached to the outer surface of the ordinary box 430.

[0074] According to one embodiment, when there is one or more items belonging to the premium packaging group 410 among the plurality of items indicated in the order information, the server 120 can determine a premium box for individually packaging one target item belonging to the premium packaging group 410. In this case, the packaging information of the premium packaging group 410 can indicate a premium box for individually packaging one item belonging to the premium packaging group 410, and a regular box for packaging the premium box.

[0075] Figure 5 illustrates a premium box set 500 according to an embodiment of the present invention. According to one embodiment, a premium packaging set may correspond to a premium box set 500. For example, at least one premium box 510, 520, 530, 540, 550, or 560 may belong to the premium box set 500. For example, at least one premium box 510, 520, 530, 540, 550, or 560 belonging to the premium box set 500 may correspond to at least one ordinary box belonging to the ordinary box set. For example, a premium box belonging to the premium box set 500 may correspond 1:1 to an ordinary box belonging to the ordinary box set.

[0076] According to one embodiment, goods belonging to the premium packaging group can be packaged in a premium box determined by at least one premium box 510, 520, 530, 540, 550, 560 belonging to the premium box group 500. Furthermore, a premium box packaging goods belonging to the premium packaging group can be packaged in a corresponding ordinary box. For example, when there are two or more goods belonging to the premium packaging group, the server 120 can determine, from at least one premium box 510, 520, 530, 540, 550, 560 belonging to the premium box group 500, a premium box that can package at least two or more goods belonging to the premium packaging group 320 together. After determining that a premium box can package at least two or more goods belonging to the premium packaging group 320 together, the server 120 can identify an ordinary box for packaging the determined premium box. For example, server 120 can receive information from an external device regarding the correspondence between premium box group 500 and ordinary box group, and based on this correspondence, identify the ordinary box used to package the premium box. For example, when there is only one item belonging to the premium packaging group, server 120 can determine, from at least one premium box 510, 520, 530, 540, 550, or 560 belonging to premium box group 500, which can individually package one item belonging to the premium packaging group. After determining that the premium box can individually package one item belonging to the premium packaging group, server 120 can identify the ordinary box used to package the determined premium box.

[0077] On the other hand, the example in Figure 5 is merely an illustrative example of an embodiment of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the example in Figure 5 assumes that six types of high-end boxes 510, 520, 530, 540, 550, and 560 of different sizes belong to the high-end box group 500; however, high-end boxes of fewer or more types may also belong to the high-end box group 500.

[0078] Figure 6a illustrates a high-end packaging process 600 of an embodiment of the present invention for co-packaging at least two or more goods 601, 602, and 603 belonging to a high-end packaging group. According to one embodiment, when there are two or more target goods belonging to a high-end packaging group, the server 120 can determine, based on the dimensions of each of the at least two or more goods 601, 602, and 603 belonging to the high-end packaging group, a high-end box from at least one high-end box 611, 612, 613, 614, 615, and 616 belonging to a high-end box group, for co-packaging at least two or more goods 601, 602, and 603 belonging to the high-end packaging group. The high-end box for co-packaging at least two or more goods 601, 602, and 603 can be a recommended high-end box recommended to packaging personnel performing packaging operations on at least two or more goods 601, 602, and 603 belonging to the high-end packaging group. For example, server 120 may repeatedly execute advanced packaging process 600 including S610, S620, S630, S640, S650 and S660 until an advanced box is determined to be used to package at least two or more items 601, 602, 603 belonging to the advanced packaging group.

[0079] For example, in S610, server 120 can determine whether at least two items 601, 602, and 603 belonging to the premium packaging group can be packaged together in the smallest premium box 611 among at least one premium box 611, 612, 613, 614, 615, and 616 belonging to the premium box group. In response to determining that at least two items 601, 602, and 603 belonging to the premium packaging group can be packaged together in premium box 611, server 120 can designate premium box 611 as a recommended premium box for packaging at least two items 601, 602, and 603 belonging to premium packaging group 320. In response to determining that at least two items 601, 602, and 603 belonging to the premium packaging group cannot be packaged together in premium box 611, server 120 can perform action S620.

[0080] For example, in S620, server 120 can determine whether at least two items 601, 602, and 603 belonging to the premium packaging group can be packaged together in premium box 612, where premium box 612 is the second largest premium box 611 among at least one premium box 611, 612, 613, 614, 615, and 616 in the premium box group. In response to determining that at least two items 601, 602, and 603 belonging to the premium packaging group can be packaged together in premium box 612, server 120 can designate premium box 612 as the recommended premium box for packaging at least two items 601, 602, and 603 belonging to the premium packaging group together. In response to determining that at least one item 601, 602, and 603 belonging to the premium packaging group cannot be packaged together in premium box 612, server 120 can perform operation S630.

[0081] For example, in S630, server 120 can determine whether at least two items 601, 602, and 603 belonging to the premium packaging group can be packaged together in premium box 613, where premium box 613 is the second largest of at least one premium box 611, 612, 613, 614, 615, and 616 belonging to the premium box group, after premium box 612. In response to determining that at least two items 601, 602, and 603 belonging to the premium packaging group can be packaged together in premium box 613, server 120 can designate premium box 613 as the recommended premium box for packaging at least two items 601, 602, and 603 belonging to the premium packaging group together. In response to determining that at least two items 601, 602, and 603 belonging to the premium packaging group cannot be packaged together in premium box 613, server 120 can perform operation S640.

[0082] For example, in S640, server 120 can determine whether at least two items 601, 602, and 603 belonging to the premium packaging group can be packaged in premium box 614, where premium box 614 is the second largest of at least one premium box 611, 612, 613, 614, 615, and 616 belonging to the premium box group, after premium box 613. In response to determining that at least two items 601, 602, and 603 belonging to the premium packaging group can be packaged in premium box 614, server 120 can designate premium box 614 as a recommended premium box for packaging at least two items 601, 602, and 603 belonging to the premium packaging group together. In response to determining that at least two items 601, 602, and 603 belonging to the premium packaging group cannot be packaged together in premium box 614, server 120 can perform operation S650.

[0083] For example, in S650, server 120 can determine whether at least two items 601, 602, and 603 belonging to the premium packaging group can be packaged together in premium box 615, where premium box 615 is the second largest of at least one premium box 611, 612, 613, 614, 615, and 616 belonging to the premium box group, after premium box 614. In response to determining that at least two items 601, 602, and 603 belonging to the premium packaging group can be packaged in premium box 615, server 120 can designate premium box 615 as the recommended premium box for packaging at least two items 601, 602, and 603 belonging to the premium packaging group together. In response to determining that at least two items 601, 602, and 603 belonging to the premium packaging group cannot be packaged together in premium box 615, server 120 can perform operation S660.

[0084] For example, in S660, server 120 can determine whether at least two items 601, 602, and 603 belonging to the premium packaging group can be packaged together in premium box 616, which is the largest of at least one premium box 611, 612, 613, 614, 615, and 616 belonging to the premium box group. In response to determining that at least two items 601, 602, and 603 belonging to the premium packaging group can be packaged together in premium box 616, server 120 can determine premium box 616 as the recommended premium box for packaging at least two items 601, 602, and 603 belonging to the premium packaging group together. In response to determining that at least two items 601, 602, and 603 belonging to the premium packaging group cannot be packaged together in premium box 616, server 120 can determine that at least two items 601, 602, and 603 belonging to the premium packaging group should be packaged separately.

[0085] Figure 6b illustrates an advanced packaging process 650 for individually packaging a single item 604 belonging to an advanced packaging group according to an embodiment of the present invention. According to one embodiment, when there is only one item belonging to the advanced packaging group, the server 120 can determine, based on the size of the item 604 belonging to the advanced packaging group, an advanced box from at least one advanced box 611, 612, 613, 614, 615, 616 belonging to the advanced box group for individually packaging the item 604. The advanced box for individually packaging the item 604 may be an advanced box recommended to the packaging personnel performing the packaging operation for the item belonging to the advanced packaging group. For example, the server 120 can repeatedly execute the advanced packaging process 650 including steps S615, S625, S635, S645, S655, and S665 until an advanced box for individually packaging the item 604 belonging to the advanced packaging group is determined.

[0086] For example, in S615, server 120 can determine whether an item 604 belonging to the premium packaging group is individually packaged in the smallest premium box 611 among at least one premium box 611, 612, 613, 614, 615, 616 belonging to the premium box group. In response to determining that an item 604 belonging to the premium packaging group can be individually packaged in premium box 611, server 120 can determine premium box 611 as the recommended premium box for individually packaging an item 604 belonging to the premium packaging group.

[0087] For example, in S625, server 120 may, in response to determining that an item 604 belonging to the premium packaging group cannot be individually packaged in premium box 611, determine whether an item 604 belonging to the premium packaging group can be individually packaged in premium box 612, wherein premium box 612 is the second largest premium box 611 among at least one premium box 611, 612, 613, 614, 615, and 616 in the premium box group. Server 120 may, in response to determining that an item 604 belonging to the premium packaging group can be individually packaged in premium box 612, determine premium box 612 as the recommended premium box for individually packaging an item 604 belonging to the premium packaging group.

[0088] For example, in S635, server 120 may, in response to determining that an item 604 cannot be individually packaged in premium box 612, determine whether an item 604 belonging to a premium packaging group can be individually packaged in premium box 613, wherein premium box 613 is the item whose size is second only to premium box 612 among at least one premium box 611, 612, 613, 614, 615, 616 in the premium box group. Server 120 may, in response to determining that an item 604 belonging to a premium packaging group can be individually packaged in premium box 613, determine premium box 613 as the recommended premium box for individually packaging an item 604 belonging to the premium packaging group.

[0089] For example, in S645, server 120 may, in response to determining that an item 604 belonging to the premium packaging group cannot be individually packaged in premium box 613, determine whether an item 604 belonging to the premium packaging group can be individually packaged in premium box 614, wherein premium box 614 is the item whose size is second only to premium box 613 among at least one premium box 611, 612, 613, 614, 615, 616 belonging to the premium box group. Server 120 may, in response to determining that an item 604 belonging to the premium packaging group can be individually packaged in premium box 614, determine premium box 614 as the recommended premium box for individually packaging item 604 belonging to the premium packaging group.

[0090] For example, in S655, server 120 may, in response to determining that an item 604 belonging to the premium packaging group cannot be individually packaged in premium box 614, determine whether an item 604 belonging to the premium packaging group can be individually packaged in premium box 615, wherein premium box 615 is the item whose size is second only to premium box 614 among at least one premium box 611, 612, 613, 614, 615, 616 belonging to the premium box group. Server 120 may, in response to determining that an item 604 belonging to the premium packaging group can be packaged in premium box 615, determine premium box 615 as the recommended premium box for individually packaging item 604 belonging to the premium packaging group.

[0091] For example, in S665, server 120 may, in response to determining that an item 604 belonging to the premium packaging group cannot be individually packaged in premium box 615, determine whether the item 604 belonging to the premium packaging group can be packaged together in the largest premium box 616 among at least one premium box 611, 612, 613, 614, 615, 616 belonging to the premium box group. Server 120 may, in response to determining that an item 604 belonging to the premium packaging group can be individually packaged in premium box 616, determine premium box 616 as the recommended premium box for individually packaging the item 604 belonging to the premium packaging group. Server 120 may, in response to determining that an item 604 belonging to the premium packaging group cannot be individually packaged in premium box 616, determine that among at least one premium box 611, 612, 613, 614, 615, 616 belonging to the premium box group, there is no premium box with a size capable of individually packaging the item 604 belonging to the premium packaging group. In this situation, server 120 may generate an instruction to package the corresponding product in a premium box corresponding to the size of product 604 belonging to the premium packaging group. That is, since there is no premium box in the premium box group that has the size to package product 604, server 120 may generate an instruction to package product 604 in a premium box customized according to the size of product 604.

[0092] Figure 7 illustrates an advanced packaging process 700 according to an embodiment of the present invention. According to one embodiment, server 120, in response to determining that at least two or more items 701, 702, 703 belong to an advanced packaging group in separate packaging, identifies the largest item 702 among the at least two items 701, 702, 703 belonging to the advanced packaging group. For example, server 120 may split the remaining items (excluding the largest item 702) belonging to at least one item 701, 702, 703 in the advanced packaging group into a combined packaging group 710, and split the largest item 702 into a separate packaging group 720.

[0093] According to one embodiment, server 120 implements an advanced packaging process that packages at least two or more items 701, 703 belonging to the combined packaging group 710 together (see description with reference to FIG6a), thereby determining a recommended advanced box for packaging at least two or more items 701, 703 belonging to the combined packaging group 710 together.

[0094] For example, if at least one premium box belonging to the premium box group does not have a premium box of a size that can be used to package at least two or more items 701, 703 belonging to the combined package group 710, the server 120 can determine to package the at least two or more items 701, 703 belonging to the combined package group 710 separately. In this case, the server 120 can identify the largest item 703 among the at least two or more items 701, 703 belonging to the combined package group 710. For example, the server 120 can split the remaining items 701 (excluding the largest item 703) belonging to the at least two or more items 701, 703 belonging to the combined package group 710 into a combined package group 710, and split the largest item 703 into a separate package group 720.

[0095] For example, if there is only one item remaining in the combined package group 710, the server 120 can make changes so that one item belonging to the combined package group 710 belongs to the individual package group 720.

[0096] According to one embodiment, server 120 implements an advanced packaging process for individually packaging goods 702 belonging to individual packaging group 720 (see description with reference to FIG6b), thereby determining the advanced boxes used to individually package goods 702 belonging to individual packaging group 720.

[0097] Figure 8 is a diagram illustrating an advanced packaging process 800 according to an embodiment of the present invention. According to one embodiment, server 120 may, in response to the absence of an advanced box with a size capable of individually packaging an item 810 belonging to an advanced box group within at least one advanced box group, generate an instruction to individually package the corresponding item 810 in an advanced box 820 corresponding to the size of item 810. In this case, server 120 may determine advanced box 820 as a recommended advanced box for individually packaging item 810 belonging to the advanced box group. For example, advanced box 820 may be an advanced box not belonging to an advanced box group. For example, advanced box 820 may be an advanced box with a size larger than at least one advanced box belonging to an advanced box group. For example, advanced box 820 may correspond to one of at least one ordinary box belonging to an ordinary box group. That is, advanced box 820 may correspond to the smallest ordinary box in the at least one ordinary box belonging to the ordinary box group that can package advanced box 820, and advanced box 820 may be packaged in that corresponding ordinary box. Alternatively, the premium box 820 may correspond to a standard box that is larger in size than at least one standard box belonging to the standard box group. That is, the premium box 820 may be packed in a standard box that is larger in size than at least one standard box belonging to the standard box group.

[0098] Figure 9 is a diagram illustrating the general packaging process 900 of a general packaging group 910 according to an embodiment of the present invention. According to one embodiment, server 120 can determine a general box 920 for packaging at least one item 911 belonging to general packaging group 910. For example, server 120 can determine the general box 920 for packaging at least one item 911 based on the dimensions of each of the at least one item 911 belonging to general packaging group 910. For example, server 120 can generate packaging information for at least one item 911 belonging to general packaging group 910 in response to determining the general box 920 for packaging at least one item 911 belonging to general packaging group 910. For example, the packaging information for at least one item 911 belonging to general packaging group 910 can indicate the general box 920 for packaging at least one item 911 belonging to general packaging group 910. That is, at least one item 911 belonging to general packaging group 910 can be packaged in a general box 920.

[0099] Figure 10 illustrates a common box group 1000 according to an embodiment of the present invention. According to one embodiment, a common packaging group may correspond to a common box group 1000. For example, at least one common box 1010, 1020, 1030, 1040, 1050, 1060 may belong to the common box group 1000.

[0100] According to one embodiment, goods belonging to the general packaging group can be packaged in a general box determined from at least one general box 1010, 1020, 1030, 1040, 1050, and 1060 belonging to the general box group 1000. For example, the server 120 can determine from at least one general box 1010, 1020, 1030, 1040, 1050, and 1060 belonging to the general box group 1000 that can be used to package at least one good belonging to the general packaging group.

[0101] On the other hand, the example in Figure 10 is merely an illustrative example of an embodiment of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the example in Figure 10 assumes that six types of ordinary boxes 1010, 1020, 1030, 1040, 1050, and 1060 with different sizes belong to the ordinary box group 1000; however, ordinary boxes with fewer or more types may also belong to the ordinary box group 1000.

[0102] Figure 11 is a diagram illustrating a general packaging process 1100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. According to one embodiment, server 120 can determine, based on the dimensions of at least one item 1101 belonging to a general packaging group, a general box from at least one general box 1111, 1112, 1113, 1114, 1115, and 1116 belonging to a general box group, to package at least one item 1101 belonging to a general packaging group. The general box used to package at least one item 1101 may be a recommended general box recommended to packaging personnel performing packaging operations on at least one item 1101 belonging to a general packaging group. For example, server 120 may repeatedly execute the general packaging process 1100 including steps S1110, S1120, S1130, S1140, S1150, and S1160 until a general box is determined to package at least one item 1101 belonging to a general packaging group.

[0103] According to one embodiment, in S1110, server 120 can determine whether at least one item 1101 belonging to the ordinary packaging group can be packaged in the smallest ordinary box 1111 among at least one ordinary box 1111, 1112, 1113, 1114, 1115, and 1116 belonging to the ordinary box group. In response to determining that at least one item 1101 belonging to the ordinary packaging group can be packaged in ordinary box 1111, server 120 can determine ordinary box 1111 as a recommended ordinary box for packaging at least one item 1101 belonging to the ordinary packaging group. In response to determining that at least one item 1101 belonging to the ordinary packaging group cannot be packaged in ordinary box 1111, server 120 performs operation S1120.

[0104] According to one embodiment, in S1120, server 120 can determine whether at least one item 1101 belonging to the ordinary packaging group can be packaged in ordinary box 1112, wherein ordinary box 1112 is the item whose size is second only to ordinary box 1111 among at least one ordinary box 1111, 1112, 1113, 1114, 1115, and 1116 belonging to the ordinary box group. In response to determining that at least one item 1101 belonging to the ordinary packaging group can be packaged in ordinary box 1112, server 120 can determine ordinary box 1112 as a recommended ordinary box for packaging at least one item 1101 belonging to the ordinary packaging group. In response to determining that at least one item 1101 belonging to the ordinary packaging group cannot be packaged in ordinary box 1112, server 120 can perform operation S1130.

[0105] According to one embodiment, in S1130, server 120 can determine whether at least one item 1101 belonging to the ordinary packaging group can be packaged in ordinary box 1113, where ordinary box 1113 is the one whose size is second only to ordinary box 1112 among at least one ordinary box 1111, 1112, 1113, 1114, 1115, and 1116 belonging to the ordinary box group. In response to determining that at least one item 1101 belonging to the ordinary packaging group can be packaged in ordinary box 1113, server 120 can determine ordinary box 1113 as a recommended ordinary box for packaging at least one item 1101 belonging to the ordinary packaging group. In response to determining that at least one item 1101 belonging to the ordinary packaging group cannot be packaged in ordinary box 1113, server 120 can perform operation S1140.

[0106] According to one embodiment, in S1140, server 120 can determine whether at least one item 1101 belonging to the ordinary packaging group can be packaged in ordinary box 1114, where ordinary box 1114 is the second smallest in size among at least one ordinary box 1111, 1112, 1113, 1114, 1115, and 1116 in the ordinary box group, after ordinary box 1113. In response to determining that at least one item 1101 belonging to the ordinary packaging group can be packaged in ordinary box 1114, server 120 can determine ordinary box 1114 as a recommended ordinary box for packaging at least one item 1101 belonging to the ordinary packaging group. In response to determining that at least one item 1101 belonging to the ordinary packaging group cannot be packaged in ordinary box 1114, server 120 can perform operation S1150.

[0107] According to one embodiment, in S1150, server 120 can determine whether at least one item 1101 belonging to the ordinary packaging group can be packaged in ordinary box 1115, wherein ordinary box 1115 is the item whose size is second only to ordinary box 1114 among at least one ordinary box 1111, 1112, 1113, 1114, 1115, and 1116 belonging to the ordinary box group. In response to determining that at least one item 1101 belonging to the ordinary packaging group can be packaged in ordinary box 1115, server 120 can determine ordinary box 1115 as a recommended ordinary box for packaging at least one item 1101 belonging to the ordinary packaging group. In response to determining that at least one item 1101 belonging to the ordinary packaging group cannot be packaged in ordinary box 1115, server 120 can perform operation S1160.

[0108] According to one embodiment, in S1160, server 120 can determine whether at least one item 1101 belonging to the ordinary packaging group can be packaged in the largest ordinary box 1116 among at least one ordinary box 1111, 1112, 1113, 1114, 1115, 1116 belonging to the ordinary box group. In response to determining that at least one item 1101 belonging to the ordinary packaging group can be packaged in ordinary box 1116, server 120 can determine ordinary box 1116 as a recommended ordinary box for packaging at least one item 1101 belonging to the ordinary packaging group. In response to determining that at least one item 1101 belonging to the ordinary packaging group cannot be packaged in ordinary box 1116, server 120 can determine that there is no ordinary box with a size capable of packaging at least one item 1101 belonging to the ordinary packaging group among at least one ordinary box 1111, 1112, 1113, 1114, 1115, 1116 belonging to the ordinary box group. In this situation, server 120 may generate an instruction requiring the corresponding product to be packaged in a standard box corresponding to the size of at least one product 1101 belonging to the standard packaging group. That is, since there is no standard box in the standard box group that can package at least one product 1101, server 120 may generate an instruction requiring at least one product 1101 to be packaged in a standard box customized according to the size of at least one product 1101.

[0109] Figure 12 illustrates packaging stations 1210, 1220, 1230, and 1240 within a distribution center 1200 according to an embodiment of the present invention. According to one embodiment, packaging stations 1210, 1220, 1230, and 1240 may be areas within the distribution center 1200 where packaging operations are performed on goods. Each packaging station 1210, 1220, 1230, and 1240 may be a physically separated area. For example, based on the type of recommended premium box or recommended standard box determined for the goods, the packaging operation for the corresponding goods can be assigned to at least one of the packaging stations 1210, 1220, 1230, and 1240 within the distribution center 1200. For example, the packaging operation for goods belonging to at least one premium box group that is determined to be a recommended premium box can be assigned to premium packaging station 1210. In this situation, packaging workers 1215 at advanced packaging station 1210 can package the goods arriving at advanced packaging station 1210 into recommended advanced boxes. For example, the packaging operation for goods belonging to the first ordinary box (e.g., B1 or B2) of the ordinary box group, which is determined to be a recommended ordinary box, can be assigned to ordinary packaging station 1220. In this situation, packaging workers 1225 at ordinary packaging station 1220 can package the goods arriving at ordinary packaging station 1220 into recommended ordinary boxes. For example, the packaging operation for goods belonging to the second ordinary box (e.g., B3 or B4) of the ordinary box group, which is determined to be a recommended ordinary box, can be assigned to ordinary packaging station 1230. In this situation, packaging workers 1235 at ordinary packaging station 1230 can package the goods arriving at ordinary packaging station 1230 into recommended ordinary boxes. For example, the packaging operation for goods belonging to the third ordinary box (e.g., B5 or B6) of the ordinary box group, which is recommended, can be assigned to ordinary packaging station 1240. In this situation, the packaging workers 1245 of the general packaging station 1240 may package the goods arriving at the general packaging station 1240 into recommended general boxes.

[0110] Figure 13 is a flowchart 1300 of processing packaging information of goods according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0111] According to one embodiment, an electronic device 110 allocated to packaging workers at an advanced packaging station within a distribution center can receive packaging information for a first target product belonging to an advanced packaging group from a server 120.

[0112] For example, the electronic device 110 of the advanced packaging station can obtain scanning information of the identification code of the first target product arriving at the advanced packaging station. For example, the identification code of the first target product can be a barcode or QR code that can identify the first target product. For example, the scanning information of the identification code of the first target product can include the identification information of the first target product. For example, the identification information of the first target product can include at least one of the identifier of the advanced packaging station where the first target product arrives, the product identifier of the first target product, or the product name of the first target product. For example, the electronic device 110 of the advanced packaging station can transmit the identification information of the first target product to the server 120. For example, in response to transmitting the identification information of the first target product, the electronic device 110 of the advanced packaging station can receive the packaging information of the first target product from the server 120. For example, as illustrated in Figures 6a and 6b, the server 120 can generate packaging information for a plurality of products belonging to the advanced packaging group. The server 120 can extract the packaging information of the product with the same identification information as the first target product from the packaging information of a plurality of products belonging to the advanced packaging group based on the identification information of the first target product, and transmit the extracted packaging information as the packaging information of the first target product to the electronic device 110 of the advanced packaging station.

[0113] According to one embodiment, the electronic device 110 of the advanced packaging station can generate packaging completion information indicating that the first target product has been packaged. For example, the electronic device 110 of the advanced packaging station can output the packaging completion information indicating that the first target product has been packaged to a display. For example, the electronic device 110 of the advanced packaging station can transmit the packaging completion information indicating that the first target product has been packaged to a server 120.

[0114] According to one embodiment, an electronic device 110 allocated to packaging workers at a general packaging station within a distribution center can receive packaging information of a second target product belonging to a general packaging group from a server 120.

[0115] For example, the electronic device 110 at the general packaging station can obtain scanning information of the identification code of the second target product arriving at the general packaging station. For example, the identification code of the second target product can be a barcode or QR code capable of identifying the second target product. For example, the scanning information of the identification code of the second target product can include identification information of the second target product. For example, the identification information of the second target product can include at least one of the identifier of the general packaging station to which the second target product arrives, the product identifier of the second target product, or the product name of the second target product. For example, the electronic device 110 at the general packaging station can transmit the identification information of the second target product to the server 120. For example, in response to transmitting the identification information of the second target product, the electronic device 110 at the general packaging station can receive packaging information of the second target product from the server 120. For example, as shown in FIG11, the server 120 can generate packaging information for a plurality of products belonging to a general packaging group. The server 120 can extract the packaging information of the product with the same identification information as the second target product from the packaging information of multiple products belonging to the ordinary packaging group based on the identification information of the second target product, and transmit the extracted packaging information as the packaging information of the second target product to the electronic device 110 of the ordinary packaging station.

[0116] According to one embodiment, the electronic device 110 of a conventional packaging station can generate packaging completion information indicating that the second target product has been packaged. For example, the electronic device 110 of the conventional packaging station can output the packaging completion information indicating that the second target product has been packaged to a display. For example, the electronic device 110 of the conventional packaging station can transmit the packaging completion information indicating that the second target product has been packaged to a server 120.

According to one embodiment, the advanced packaging workbench 1400 may be equipped with an electronic device 110 assigned to packaging personnel at the advanced packaging station. Furthermore, the advanced packaging workbench 1400 may be equipped with a scanner 1430 capable of scanning identification codes on goods or ordinary boxes. Furthermore, the advanced packaging workbench 1400 may be equipped with a printer 1440 capable of outputting waybills for the packaged goods. On the other hand, the advanced packaging workbench 1400 in FIG14 is merely an illustrative representation of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited thereto. Some of the components of the advanced packaging workbench 1400 shown in FIG14 may be omitted, or other components not shown in FIG14 may be arranged on the advanced packaging workbench 1400.

[0118] According to one embodiment, on the advanced packaging workbench 1400, a packaging worker can retrieve a first target product from a bag 1450 arriving at the advanced packaging station and scan the identification code of the first target product using a scanner 1430. In this case, the scanner 1430 can transmit the scanned information of the identification code of the first target product to the electronic device 110. Alternatively, the packaging worker can use the camera of the electronic device 110 to scan the identification code of the first target product; therefore, the electronic device 110 can obtain the scanned information of the identification code of the first target product. For example, the scanned information of the identification code of the first target product may include the identification information of the first target product.

[0119] According to one embodiment, electronic device 110 can obtain packaging information of a first target product based on identification information of the first target product. For example, electronic device 110 can transmit identification information of the first target product to server 120. For example, electronic device 110 can receive packaging information of the first target product from server 120 in response to transmitting identification information of the first target product.

[0120] According to one embodiment, the electronic device 110 can output packaging information of the first target product to a display.

[0121] According to one embodiment, on the advanced packaging workbench 1400, the packaging operator can identify a recommended advanced box for packaging the first target product from among at least one advanced box 1411, 1412, 1413, 1414, 1415, and 1416 arranged on the advanced packaging workbench 1400, based on the packaging information of the first target product output on the display of the electronic device 110. Furthermore, on the advanced packaging workbench 1400, the packaging operator can identify a recommended ordinary box for packaging the recommended advanced box from among at least one ordinary box 1421, 1422, 1423, 1424, 1425, and 1426 arranged on the advanced packaging workbench 1400, based on the packaging information of the first target product output on the display of the electronic device 110.

[0122] According to one embodiment, on the advanced packaging workbench 1400, the packaging operator can package the first target product into an advanced box, and then package the corresponding advanced box into a regular box. For example, the packaging operator can package the first target product into a recommended advanced box, and then package the corresponding recommended advanced box into a recommended regular box.

[0123] For example, the packaging information of the first target product may indicate a recommended premium box for packaging at least one product belonging to the premium packaging group together with the first target product. In this case, the packaging personnel at the premium packaging station can identify at least one product belonging to the premium packaging group that needs to be packaged together with the first target product based on the packaging information of the first target product. For example, the packaging personnel at the premium packaging station can take at least one product that needs to be packaged together with the first target product from the bag 1450, scan the identification code of each product using the scanner 1430 or the camera of the electronic device 110, and place it in the recommended premium box. If the first target product and at least one product that needs to be packaged together with the first target product are all placed in the recommended premium box, the packaging personnel at the premium packaging station can package the recommended premium box into a recommended ordinary box. The packaging personnel at the premium packaging station can use the printer 1440 to print the waybill for the recommended ordinary box and the first target product and at least one product packaged in the recommended premium box, and attach the printed waybill to the outer surface of the recommended ordinary box. For example, the waybill may include the identification code of the recommended ordinary box. The identification code for the recommended ordinary box can be a barcode or QR code capable of identifying the recommended ordinary box and at least one item packaged within it. For example, if the first target item and at least one item to be packaged with the first target item are all placed in the recommended premium box (i.e., if the identification codes of the target item and at least one item to be packaged with the target item are all scanned), the electronic device 110 can transmit an instruction to print the printer 1440 requesting the output of a waybill for the first target item and at least one item packaged in the recommended premium box. In this case, the printer 1440 can output a waybill for the first target item and at least one item packaged in the recommended premium box.

[0124] According to one embodiment, packaging workers at the advanced packaging station can use scanner 1430 to scan the identification code of the recommended ordinary box. In this case, scanner 1430 can transmit the scanned information of the identification code of the recommended ordinary box to electronic device 110. Alternatively, packaging workers at the advanced packaging station can use the camera of electronic device 110 to scan the identification code of the recommended ordinary box; therefore, electronic device 110 can obtain the scanned information of the identification code of the recommended ordinary box.

[0125] According to one embodiment, electronic device 110 can generate packaging completion information indicating that at least one item belonging to the premium packaging group has been packaged in a recommended ordinary box and a corresponding recommended premium box in response to receiving scanned information of the identification code of the recommended ordinary box.

For example, on the outer surface of at least one ordinary box belonging to the ordinary box group, a waybill for the goods packaged in at least one ordinary box can be attached. This can be seen in the description of Figure 17.

[0155] For example, at least two items may be packaged together in the premium box indicated by Information 1. For example, the premium box indicated by Information 1 may be packaged in the ordinary box indicated by Information 2.

[0156] According to one embodiment, in obtaining packaging information for at least two or more items belonging to a premium packaging group, electronic device 110 may obtain scanning information of the identification code of one of the target items among the at least two or more items. For example, the scanning information of the target item's identification code may include the target item's identification information. For example, the target item's identification information may include at least one of the following: the identifier of the premium packaging station to which the target item arrived, the identifier of the target item, or the product name of the target item. For example, electronic device 110 may transmit the target item's identification information to server 120. For example, in response to transmitting the target item's identification information, electronic device 110 may receive packaging information for at least two or more items to be packaged together from server 120.

[0157] According to one embodiment, at least two or more items may include ordered items and free gifts provided when ordering ordered items.

[0158] In S2220, the electronic device 110 can output the first information and the second information to the display.

[0159] According to one embodiment, the packaging information of at least two or more products can further indicate the third information that the certificate, together with at least two or more products, is packaged in the premium box indicated by the first information. The certificate indicates that at least two or more products belong to the premium box group. For example, when the first information and the second information are output to the display, the electronic device 110 can output the third information to the display in addition to the first information and the second information.

[0160] Furthermore, the electronic device 110 can obtain scanning information of the identification code of the ordinary box indicated by the second information. For example, in response to obtaining the scanning information of the identification code of the ordinary box indicated by the second information, the electronic device 110 can generate packaging completion information indicating that at least two or more goods have been packaged in the premium box and the second premium box indicated by the first information. For example, the electronic device 110 can output the packaging completion information indicating that at least two or more goods have been packaged in the premium box and the second premium box indicated by the first information to a display screen.

[0161] Furthermore, the electronic device 110 can obtain packaging information for an item belonging to the premium packaging group. For example, the packaging information for an item may include fourth information indicating that at least one premium box belonging to the premium box group does not have a premium box with a size capable of individually packaging an item. For example, the fourth information may indicate that an item is individually packaged in a premium box corresponding to the size of an item. For example, the electronic device 110 may output the fourth information to a display. This can be seen in the description with reference to FIG16.
