This disclosure proposes a shift-based employee scheduling method and related apparatus. The shift-based employee scheduling method includes: acquiring task information and inter-task conflict information; acquiring employee information; acquiring shift information; constructing an integer programming model by setting constraints and an objective function, the constraints including a first constraint requiring that conflicting tasks assigned to each shift can be executed, the objective function being based on multiple objectives; solving the integer programming model using the acquired information to determine the correspondence between employees and shifts and between tasks and shifts, and decoding the correspondence between employees and tasks from the employee-shift and task-shift correspondence information, thereby scheduling employees.

A method for controlling a shift system of a bicycle includes, in particular during pedaling, (i) acquiring sensor data representing a posture of a rider of the bicycle relative to the bicycle, (ii) recognizing a transition of the rider from a seated position to a standing position based on the sensor data acquired, and (iii) decreasing a gear ratio of the shift system in a controlled manner in response to recognizing the transition of the rider from the seated position to the standing position.
