Detailed Description

Exemplary embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which various details of the embodiments of the present invention are included to facilitate understanding, and are to be considered merely exemplary. Accordingly, those of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that various changes and modifications of the embodiments described herein can be made without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention. Also, descriptions of well-known functions and constructions are omitted in the following description for clarity and conciseness.

Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of the main flow of a method of grouping items according to an embodiment of the invention, as shown in fig. 1,

The initial group is a group of items that can be distinguished according to a certain indicator and/or a group of items of a different group that has been determined. For example, the items are initially grouped into larger items and smaller items by size of the volume.

The data information of the items is information mainly used for reflecting the logical relationship among the items, so that the mapping relationship of the items among each initial group can be conveniently determined. In some embodiments, the items do not have an initial grouping, and the data information of the items may also be used to assist in determining the initial grouping of the items. Optionally, the data information of the item may also include, for example, but not limited to: weight characteristics of the article, size characteristics of the article, attribute characteristics of the article.

The method of the embodiment has little influence on the logic of the articles when the articles are grouped, so the method can be suitable for the condition that the logic relationship of the articles is complex. The prior art can lead to code redundancy when processing complex logic relationships, and the invention adopts the grouping technical means to weaken the complex logic relationships, thereby effectively solving the defect of code redundancy. By adopting the technical means of determining the article relationship between each initial group, the logic relationship between the complex and non-fixed articles is converted into the clear and utilizable logic relationship between each article and the articles in other initial groups, thereby overcoming the technical defect that the complex and non-fixed logic relationship cannot be processed in the prior art.

In some embodiments, by determining the mapping relationship of each item in one initial group to items in other initial groups, the logical complexity of the system can be reduced, the details and coupling between items can be weakened, and the relationships between items can be combed. At the same time, determining the mapping between different initial groupings can also help query whether items are interrelated. Wherein the mapping relationship includes a mapping of each item in one initial group to some or all of the items in the other initial groups.

The dimension represents a parameter added to the item. The dimensions may or may not be the same for different items. The parameter dimension is referenced to assist in grouping items. Since the purpose of grouping is to group the items having a logical relationship into a group, the dimension is set for the items in a global manner in the present embodiment, and the purpose of grouping the items is achieved according to the technical means of dimension grouping. Setting the dimensions in a global manner means that the dimensions of an item are valid in a global scope after the dimensions are confirmed. By setting the dimension in the global scope, the technical problems of high coupling degree and high system complexity are solved, and the technical effects of weakening the logic relationship among the articles and enabling the articles to be less influenced by the complex logic relationship during grouping are achieved. By dividing the articles with the same dimension into a group, the related articles can be grouped.

When the method is applied to the fields of commodity grouping, commodity shipment and the like, preferably, the initial grouping includes: the system comprises a gift group and a main product group, wherein the main product group comprises a goods main product and a stock-out main product.

In some embodiments of the invention, the initial grouping may be provided as a gift group and a master group, wherein the master group may also be divided into two groups, a good master and a bad master. In these embodiments, a relationship of the items between the initial groupings is established, that is, a correspondence between each gift of the gift set and each master in the master set is established, achieving the technical effect of facilitating subsequent item groupings.

When the initial grouping is a gift group and a master group, the grouping of items may be aided according to a mapping relationship of each gift in the gift group to a master in the master group. In establishing the mapping relationship, unnecessary mapping may be omitted in order to save the cost of grouping. For example, when determining the mapping of the master in the master group to the gifts in the gift group, the master need only lack the master to achieve the subsequent dimension determination without determining the mapping of the shipper to the gifts, thereby saving the cost of mapping the shipper to each gifts.

In some embodiments, the associated items are set to the same dimension, thereby facilitating grouping of items. Wherein the associated articles refer to articles with direct mapping relationships and/or articles with two or more levels of mapping relationships. Selecting an item in the initial group may include: the items are selected in the key initial groupings or in other groupings. Wherein the selection includes an arbitrary selection. For example, when the embodiment includes a gift group and a master group, the dimension is determined from the perspective of the master, and the dimension of the gift is the dimension of the multiplexed master, so the master setting dimension in the master group is selected first. Furthermore, it is also feasible to determine the dimension from the perspective of the gift.

In some embodiments, a Serial Number (SN) string may be constructed for setting dimensions based on some characteristics of the item. If the serial number strings are identical, the serial number strings are grouped so that the associated articles are grouped into one group, thereby achieving the effect of grouping the articles.

The method is described in detail below with respect to a specific example of merchant shipping.

In the same order, there may be a large number of goods including a cargo owner, a backorder owner, a gift suitable for various situations, and the like. In order for customers to get purchased items as early as possible, merchants tend to take a stock-first approach. In the promotion process, there are often cases where multiple master items are mixed with multiple gift items, there is a complex logical relationship between master items and gift items, and there is an absence of a master item in the master items. To avoid malicious act of taking the gift, the gift and the non-corresponding master cannot be placed into a group for shipping. Because the lack of the gift does not raise the risk of taking the gift out, the lack of the gift need not be considered.

A detailed description of embodiments of this scheme will be given below using all the methods of grouping items to be shipped.

First, all gifts and masters are parsed in extensible markup language (xml) from the customer order. Wherein, the main products can be divided into two groups of a stock-out main product (Q) and a stock-in main product (F).

And secondly, determining the mapping relation between each gift and all the main products according to the data information of the gift and the main products obtained by analysis. When analyzing the main product corresponding to the gift, it is necessary to determine whether the gift corresponds to a unique main product or to a plurality of main products according to the data information of the gift. If the gift corresponds to only one main product, the analysis of whether the gift corresponds to other main products is not needed; if the gift corresponds to a plurality of main products, all the corresponding main products need to be found. In this embodiment, the relationship between the gift and the master is shown in the following table:

TABLE 1 mapping relationship table of gift and Main product

Gift (G)	Main product (Q; F)
		G1	{Q1,F1}
G2	{Q1,Q2,F1,F2,F3}
		G3	{Q2,Q3,Q4,Q5}
G4	{Q4}
		G5	{Q6}
G6	{F4}

And (3) partially transferring the table 1, and determining the mapping relation between the inventory lacking main product and the gift, namely determining the mapping relation between each inventory lacking main product and the corresponding gift. For example, both gifts G1, G2 have a mapping relationship with the stock-out master Q1, so the mapping relationship of the stock-out master Q1 to the gifts G1, G2 is listed in the table. The specific practice is to put the gifts corresponding to each main product in a set respectively, as shown in table 2:

TABLE 2 mapping relationship table of unoccupied main products and gift

Main product of goods lack (Q)	Gift (G)
		Q1	{G1,G2}
Q2	{G2,G3}
		Q3	{G3}
Q4	{G3,G4}
		Q5	{G3}
Q6	{G5}

To facilitate understanding of the logical relationship between the gift and all the masters in this embodiment, a relationship diagram shown in fig. 2 may be generated. Wherein, the circle represents gift (G), the square frame represents main product, the lack of goods main product is Q, and the goods main product is F. As can be seen clearly in fig. 2: there is a direct or indirect connection between G1, G2, G3, G4, Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4, Q5, F1, F2, F3; there is a link between Q6 and G5, and the combination of Q6 and G5 is independent of other items; there is a link between F4 and G6, and the combination of F4 and G6 is independent of other items. In actual operation, related main products and gifts can be divided into a group by traversing and dimension setting technical means, so that the problem of incomplete grouping is avoided.

Then, table 1 and table 2 are traversed to determine the dimensions of all gifts and masters.

In this embodiment, a group that cannot be shipped is first determined, so that an out-of-stock master (Q1 is taken as an example in this embodiment) is first selected, and the dimension of the out-of-stock master is registered and determined in a registry by using the serial number String (SN) dimension, and is denoted as < Q1, SN _Q1 >. The out-of-stock master Q1 finds all corresponding gift sets according to table 2: { G1, G2}. Multiplexing all the corresponding bonus dimensions to the dimension, namely: < G1, SN _Q1>,<G2,SN_Q1 >. Therefore, dimension registration of Q1 is completed, and to avoid repeated registration of dimensions, Q1 is put into the discard bin: DONE { Q1}. Then, according to table 1, determining the main product { Q1, F1} corresponding to G1 and all main products { Q1, F1, Q2, F3} corresponding to G2, and performing dimension registration, wherein the dimensions are SN _Q1.

For a commodity owner, the dimension is not required to be set by traversing the corresponding gift. According to the fact that the main product corresponding to G2 also comprises the missing main product Q2, the gift corresponding to Q2 is traversed, and the dimension of the gift corresponding to Q2 is registered as SN _Q1. The gift G2 corresponding to Q2 has already registered dimensions, so that G2 multiplexes the dimensions that were originally registered, and the master corresponding to G2 does not need to repeatedly register dimensions, but only repeatedly registers dimensions for the backorder master G3 of the unregistered dimensions. By means of iteration, the dimensional iteration of Q3, Q4 and Q5 can be completed.

For the missing product Q6, there is no mapping relationship with Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4, Q5 and the gift traversed, so a new dimension SN _Q6 is used for registration. The dimension of gift G5 of the Q6 map is also registered as SN _Q6. Similarly, for unregistered shipments F4 and corresponding gifts G6, dimension SN _F4 is used to register, resulting in Table 3:

Table 3 register dimension statistics

The main product is as follows: registration dimension	Gifts (gift): registering dimensions;
		Q1：<Q1,SN_Q1>	G1:<G1,SN_Q1>;G2:<G2,SN_Q1>；
F1：<F1,SN_Q1>
		F2：<F2,SN_Q1>
F3：<F3,SN_Q1>
		Q2：<Q2,SN_Q1>	Multiplexing original G2; and G3: < G3, SN _Q1 >;
Q3：<Q3,SN_Q1>	Multiplexing original G3;
		Q4：<Q4,SN_Q1>	Multiplexing original G3; and G4: < G4, SN _Q1 >;
Q5：<Q5,SN_Q1>	Multiplexing original G3;
		Q6：<G6,SN_Q6>	G5:<G5,SN_Q6>；
F4：<F4,SN_F4>	G6:<G6,SN_F4>

Finally, all the main products and the gifts which finish dimension registration are grouped according to the dimension. For this specific embodiment, the following dimensions and the item set corresponding to each dimension may be reached:

SN_Q1:<Q1,G1,G2,F1,F2,F3,Q2,G3,Q3,Q4,G4,Q5>；

SN_Q6:<Q6,G5>；

SN_F4:<F4，G6>；

Since each invoice is set per dimension, there is an order master in the invoice for dimension SN _Q1 and SN _Q6, the order will suspend the shipment. An order with dimension SN _F4 has no stock master, so a stock-first scheme is executed to bind F4 with G6 for first delivery.
