[0080] An unmanned retail cabinet is a cutting-edge retail solution that enables self-service sales of goods through the integration of modern technology. This retail model reduces labor demand through automated systems, allowing consumers to enjoy a more convenient and personalized shopping experience. This retail cabinet is usually deployed in high-traffic areas such as subway stations, business centers, office buildings, etc., providing 24-hour uninterrupted shopping services for consumers. The core advantage of the unmanned retail cabinet is its convenience and efficiency, allowing consumers to quickly complete the shopping process through simple operations such as scanning payment, facial recognition, etc. In addition, unmanned retail cabinets also have the advantages of saving labor costs, reducing contact transmission risks, etc., meeting the high requirements of modern consumers for shopping experiences.

[0081] Although the unmanned vending cabinet has become relatively convenient in operation, there are still certain limitations in its shopping process. After selecting goods, users usually need to enter a separate shopping cart page for confirmation. This step, while ensuring the accuracy of the selected goods for the user, also increases the complexity of the operation. After confirming the goods, the system will pop up a payment page, and the user needs to perform a payment operation again. This multi-step operation process not only prolongs the shopping time, but also increases the user's operation burden. Especially during peak hours, this cumbersome process may increase user waiting time and affect the shopping experience.

[0082] The present application considers that if the goods selection area and the settlement area can be integrated on the same shopping page, and after the user selects goods in the goods selection area, the selected goods are automatically added to the selection details area, and the price and payment code displayed in the payment area are updated, the problem of cumbersome operation caused by the multi-step operation process in the prior art can be solved.

[0083] The control method, device, vending cabinet and storage medium of the vending cabinet provided by the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below in combination with the drawings and specific embodiments and their application scenarios.

The cabinet 201 can also be provided with a cabinet door 204, and the cabinet door 204 is at least partially made of transparent material, so that the user can see the products inside the cabinet 201 through the cabinet door 204. The display screen 203 can be provided on the cabinet door 204, or provided on the other area on the side of the cabinet door 204, for example, provided on the left side or right side area of the cabinet door 204. The display screen 203 can have a touch function or physical buttons to provide user interaction and product selection functions.

[0092] In some embodiments, the cabinet 201 can further include the following structures: a goods channel system for storing and arranging goods; an addressing system including a goods outlet mechanism responsible for identifying the specific location of each good in the vending machine, controlling the goods outlet mechanism to take out the selected goods from the goods channel and send them to the goods outlet 205; a payment system supporting multiple payment methods to ensure convenient and secure transactions; an electronic lock and door control system to ensure the safety of goods and prevent unauthorized access; an inventory management system to monitor the quantity of goods in real time and remind the operator to restock; a communication module connected to the Internet to enable real-time data transmission, allowing the operator to remotely monitor and manage the status of the vending machine; a power management system to ensure the stable operation of the vending machine; and a structural framework to protect the internal components and provide a durable appearance.

[0093] In the embodiments of the present application, the user can complete the purchase of goods by operating on the display screen 203, for example, the user can select the corresponding goods on the display screen 203 and make a payment, after the payment is completed, the vending cabinet can take out the entity of the goods from the vending cabinet through its internal structure and deliver it to the goods outlet 205, and the user can take out the goods at the goods outlet 205.

[0094] In the embodiments of the present application, the display screen 203 can be provided with a user interface, and the user can perform touch operations on the user interface or operate through physical buttons. When it is detected that the user triggers a shopping instruction, the display screen 203 can be controlled to enter a shopping page.

[0095] As shown in FIG. 3, in the case of standby or no operation of the display screen 203, the display screen 203 will display a default interface, and in the default interface, an advertisement image or video of the goods can be displayed. The default interface can also display a shopping prompt information, for example, the shopping prompt information can be "click to select and purchase", "click here to select and purchase" and the like, and when it is detected that the user clicks a predetermined position on the screen, it is confirmed that the user triggers a shopping instruction. The predetermined position can be a region pre-set in the default interface, or any region of the default interface.

[0096] As shown in FIG. 4, the shopping page can include a goods selection area 401 and a settlement area 402. The goods selection area 401 can include information such as the image of the goods, the name of the goods, the price of the goods, etc., and the user can select the goods by clicking the image of the goods or the name of the goods. A corresponding selection control can also be set for each kind of goods, and the user can select the goods by clicking the selection control.

[0097] In the embodiment of the present application, the settlement area 402 can display information related to settlement of the goods. The settlement area 402 can include a selection details area 4021 and a payment area 4022. The selection details area 4021 can be an area similar to a "shopping cart", which can display the goods selected by the user and the quantity of the goods; the payment area 4022 can display the price of the goods, a payment code and other information. In some embodiments, the payment area 4022 can also be provided with a payment method adjustment control 403, and the user can select the desired payment method by clicking the payment method adjustment control 403, such as scanning the two-dimensional code displayed on the payment area 4022 to make payment, providing a payment code to make payment, and the like.

[0098] In some embodiments, in the shopping page, in order to display more goods for the user to select, the area of the goods selection area 401 is greater than the area of the settlement area 402.

[0099] Step 120, adding the goods selected by the user in the goods selection area to the selection details area.

[0100] In the embodiment of the present application, the user can select goods from the goods displayed in the goods selection area 401, and after the user selects the goods, the selected goods can be added to the selection details area 4021, for example, the image of the selected goods can be displayed in the selection details area 4021, and in order to further improve the user experience, the price, quantity and other information of the goods can also be displayed in the selection details area 4021. Since the area of the selection details area 4021 is limited, the goods related information can be displayed in the selection details area 4021 after being reduced.

[0101] Step 130, updating the price and payment code displayed in the payment area according to the goods in the selection details area.

[0102] As shown in FIG. 4, in the payment area 4022, the total price of the goods in the selection details area 4021 and the payment code corresponding to the total price can be displayed, and the user can understand the total price of the goods through the total price of the goods in the selection details area 4021, and can make payment by scanning the payment code. The payment code can be a two-dimensional code, a bar code or other types of payment codes.

[0103] In the embodiment of the present application, as the user selects goods in the goods selection area 401, the goods displayed in the selection details area 4021 will change, and the total price of the goods in the selection details area 4021 will also change, and in the case of change of the total price of the goods in the selection details area 4021, the displayed price in the payment area 4022 can be updated. Since each payment code contains a unique payment information, when the total price of the goods changes, the payment code also needs to be updated according to the change of the price.

[0104] According to the control method of the vending cabinet, the display screen enters a shopping page in response to a shopping instruction triggered by a user; the shopping page includes a commodity selection area and a settlement area; the settlement area includes a selection detail area and a payment area; the commodities selected by the user in the commodity selection area are added to the selection detail area; and the price and the payment code displayed in the payment area are updated according to the commodities in the selection detail area. In the embodiment of the application, the commodity selection area and the settlement area are integrated on the same shopping page, and after the user selects commodities in the commodity selection area, the selected commodities are automatically added to the selection detail area, and the price and the payment code displayed in the payment area are updated, thereby reducing the jump and confirmation steps required by the user in the shopping process, reducing the operation frequency of the user, and enabling the user to complete the process from commodity selection to payment directly on the shopping page without entering a separate shopping cart page for confirmation and without multiple clicks for payment. Such continuous operation not only saves time, but also reduces the waiting and operation burden of the user in the shopping process, thereby improving the convenience and efficiency of shopping.

[0105] In some embodiments, the control method of the vending cabinet further includes:
