Description

Positioning circuit board, guide rail for installing electronic price tag and electronic price tag
Technical Field
The present application relates to the field of new retail technologies, and more particularly, to a positioning circuit board, a guide rail for mounting an electronic price tag, and an electronic price tag.
Background
In order to facilitate the selection of the commodity objects by the consumer user, the service provider usually sets a large number of shelves in an entity shop opened on line, places the commodity objects on the shelves, and displays the commodity objects for the consumer user to view.
Taking the physical store in the "new retail" business mode as an example, very strict requirements are imposed on the display processing of the commodity objects, and the store is required to dynamically adjust the display mode not only according to the preset display mode, but also periodically, and each adjustment may involve the rearrangement of the commodity objects.
Specifically, when the commodity objects need to be displayed, the display operation server may obtain display mode information (for example, the display mode information may be embodied as an effect diagram of the display of the commodity objects), generate a display task and issue the display task to the display operation client, and display the display task for the operator associated with the display operation client to view, so that the operator places the commodity objects according to the display mode information, and after the commodity objects are placed, submit task completion information to the display operation server through the display operation client.
In the actual operation process, the problem that commodity objects are placed randomly may exist, and therefore the display operation server can generate a polling task according to the display mode information and send the polling task to the polling operation client, so that polling personnel associated with the polling operation client can check the task execution condition of the verification operation personnel according to the display mode information. Specifically, if the placement accuracy of the commodity object exceeds a preset value (for example, the preset value is 98%), the inspection personnel can submit inspection result information with correct placement to the display operation server through the inspection operation client; otherwise, the related information of the commodity objects with the wrong placement (for example, the commodity objects placed on the 1 st layer of the shelf 1 do not conform to the effect diagram) can be obtained and submitted to the display operation server, so that the display operation server can issue the related information of the commodity objects with the wrong placement to the display operation client, prompt the operator to correct the placement modes of the commodity objects, and finally conform to the preset display mode.
Such a manual inspection scheme consumes a large amount of labor cost and time cost, and is particularly inefficient in inspection when the number of commodity objects provided by a store is large (for a large-sized entity store, ten thousands of commodity objects can be provided in general); in addition, the inspection effect completely depends on inspection personnel, and the influence of human factors on the inspection result is large.

Detailed Description
The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments that can be derived from the embodiments given herein by a person of ordinary skill in the art are intended to be within the scope of the present disclosure.
In consideration of the fact that after commodity objects are placed, the commodity objects need to be bound with the electronic price tags and relevant information of corresponding commodity objects is displayed through the electronic price tags, the embodiment of the application provides the guide rail which can be used for calibrating the installation positions of the electronic price tags, the guide rail can provide at least one installation position, a corresponding positioning detection circuit is arranged at each installation position, and each positioning detection circuit corresponds to different detection voltage values respectively. Therefore, after the electronic price tag is installed on the guide rail, if the electronic price tag is located at the installation position where position calibration can be carried out, the positioning contact of the electronic price tag can be electrically connected with the positioning detection circuit arranged at the installation position, and first voltage value information is obtained and submitted to the cloud server. Therefore, the cloud server can determine the target installation position information associated with the first voltage value information according to the association relationship between the installation position information and the voltage value information which are obtained in advance, further obtain the placing position of the commodity object associated with the electronic price tag according to the installation position of the electronic price tag, and automatically check the execution result of the display task associated with the operator according to the placing position of the commodity object associated with the electronic price tag.
As an example, the electronic price tag may be a passive electronic price tag, the guide rail may correspond to an active guide rail, and the electronic price tag may be powered by the guide rail after being installed on the guide rail.
The implementation of the electronic price tag and the guide rail in this example is explained below with reference to the schematic diagrams shown in fig. 1 to 3.
In this example, the guide rail may include a guide rail body and a positioning circuit board. The guide rail body comprises a guide rail groove formed in the extending direction of the guide rail, and the positioning circuit board can be installed in the guide rail groove. As an example, the positioning circuit board may be fixed in the guide rail groove in an integrally formed manner; or, the positioning circuit board is detachably mounted in the guide rail groove under the condition that the shape of the positioning circuit board is matched with the opening shape of the guide rail groove.
Referring to the schematic diagram shown in fig. 1, the positioning circuit board in this example may include: a circuit board body; a high-voltage contact line 10 (for example, the high-voltage contact line may be a power supply line) and a low-voltage contact line 20 (for example, the low-voltage contact line may be a ground line) which are provided on one side surface of the circuit board body and arranged in parallel; the high-voltage output end of the power supply is connected with the high-voltage contact wire, and the low-voltage output end of the power supply is connected with the low-voltage contact wire; and at least one positioning detection circuit 30 arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the high-voltage contact line, wherein the positioning detection circuits are connected in series between the high-voltage contact line and the low-voltage contact line, and each positioning detection circuit corresponds to different detection voltage values respectively.
In particular, the positioning detection circuit may further comprise at least one positioning detection sub-circuit (only the solution comprising one positioning detection sub-circuit is shown in fig. 1) connected in series, which may comprise a voltage dividing contact line 31, a first resistance 32 and a second resistance 33. Wherein the partial pressure contact line is arranged between the high pressure contact line and the low pressure contact line; one end of the first resistor is electrically connected with the voltage division contact line, and the other end of the first resistor forms an input end of the positioning detection sub-circuit (in the example shown in FIG. 1, the input end is electrically connected with the high voltage contact line); the second resistor has one end electrically connected to the voltage dividing contact line and the other end forming an output terminal of the positioning detection sub-circuit (in the example shown in fig. 1, the output terminal is electrically connected to the low voltage contact line).
Preferably, for ease of operation, the length of the voltage division contact line may be set slightly longer, typically not exceeding the length of the electronic price tag. Therefore, the operation of operators can be facilitated, and the positioning contact of the electronic price tag is only required to be electrically connected with any point of the voltage division contact line; and the problem that the installation position information is determined wrongly because the adjacent electronic price tags are clamped on a positioning detection circuit can be avoided.
Preferably, the positioning detection circuit is slidably connected to the high voltage contact line and the low voltage contact line. In the practical application process, the operator can flexibly adjust the position of the positioning detection circuit according to the placing position of the commodity object to enable the positioning detection circuit to correspond to the position of the commodity object, so that when the electronic price tag is clamped at the position of the positioning detection circuit, the electronic price tag can be in one-to-one correspondence with the commodity object, and a consumer user can conveniently check the related information of the commodity object bound by the electronic price tag.
As an example, the positioning circuit board in this example may further include: the high-voltage contact line is arranged in a track of the first slide rail; a second slide rail, the low voltage contact wire disposed within a track of the second slide rail; and the sub circuit boards correspond to the positioning detection circuits one to one, each sub circuit board comprises a first terminal in sliding clamping with the first slide rail and a second terminal in sliding clamping with the second slide rail, and the positioning detection circuits are in sliding connection with the high-voltage contact line through the first terminals and are in sliding connection with the low-voltage contact line through the second terminals.
Preferably, the positioning circuit board may further include, as shown in fig. 2: at least two third resistors 40 having different resistance values, a first end of the third resistors being electrically connected to the high voltage contact line; and each group of jumper pins comprises a first jumper pin electrically connected with the high-voltage output end of the power supply and a second jumper pin electrically connected with the second end of the third resistor.
In use, a group of jumper pins may be shorted by jumper cap 50, thereby identifying different shelf levels. Taking the schematic diagram shown in fig. 2 as an example, for the guide rail installed on the 1 st shelf, the jumper cap pair R can be usedrow1Short-circuiting the corresponding jumper pins; for the guide rail installed on the 2 nd layer of goods shelf, the pair R of jumper wire caps can be usedrow2Short-circuiting the corresponding jumper pins; for the guide rail installed on the 3 rd layer shelf, the pair R of jumper wire caps can be usedrow3And carrying out short circuit on the corresponding jumper pin. Thus, even if the resistance values of the positioning detection circuits in the 3 guide rails are completely the same, the voltage values of the positioning detection circuits at the same subdivided positions can be distinguished by selecting the third resistors having different resistance values. That is, the voltage value can determine which rail the electronic price tag is located on, and at which subdivided position of the rail.
Referring to the schematic shown in fig. 3, the electronic price tag in this example may include: the electronic price tag comprises an electronic price tag body, a first electronic price tag body and a second electronic price tag body, wherein the electronic price tag body comprises a first surface and a second surface which are correspondingly arranged; the display screen is arranged on the first surface; two power contacts 61 and 63 and at least one positioning contact 62 arranged on the second surface, wherein the power contacts and the positioning contacts are arranged along the height direction of the body; the controller is used for obtaining the voltage value information collected by the positioning contact and submitting the voltage value information to a cloud server through the communication module.
Specifically, after the electronic price tag is installed on the guide rail, the power supply contact 61 can be electrically connected with a high-voltage contact wire, and the power supply contact 63 can be electrically connected with a low-voltage contact wire and used for supplying power to the display screen; the positioning contact 62 may be electrically connected to the voltage dividing contact line to obtain a voltage value at the voltage dividing contact line for determining the mounting position of the electronic price tag.
It is understood that if the positioning detection circuit includes at least two positioning detection sub-circuits connected in series, the electronic price tag may be correspondingly provided with at least two positioning contacts, and the at least two positioning contacts may be electrically connected with the voltage dividing contact lines in the at least two positioning detection sub-circuits, respectively. Each positioning contact can collect the voltage value information of the voltage division contact line which is electrically connected with each positioning contact, and one mounting position is uniquely identified in a mode of combining at least two pieces of voltage value information.
Or, as another example, the electronic price tag may be an active electronic price tag, and the guide rail may correspond to a passive guide rail, that is, a power supply source is provided in the electronic price tag.
The implementation of the electronic price tag and the guide rail in this example will be explained with reference to the schematic diagrams shown in fig. 4 and 5.
Referring to the schematic diagram of fig. 4, the positioning circuit board mounted in the rail groove may include: a circuit board body; a low-voltage contact line 70 disposed on one side surface of the circuit board body; at least one positioning detection circuit 80 arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the low-voltage contact line, wherein each positioning detection circuit corresponds to different detection voltage values; the positioning detection circuit comprises a voltage division contact line 81 and a fourth resistor 82, wherein one end of the fourth resistor is electrically connected with the voltage division contact line, and the other end of the fourth resistor is electrically connected with the low-voltage contact line.
Referring to the schematic shown in fig. 5, the electronic price tag in this example may include: the electronic price tag comprises an electronic price tag body, a first electronic price tag body and a second electronic price tag body, wherein the electronic price tag body comprises a first surface and a second surface which are correspondingly arranged; the display screen is arranged on the first surface; a power contact 92 and a positioning contact 91 disposed on the second surface, the power contact and the positioning contact being disposed along a height direction of the body; the power supply and the fifth resistor are electrically connected, one end of the fifth resistor is electrically connected with the output end of the power supply, and the other end of the fifth resistor is electrically connected with the positioning contact; the controller is used for obtaining the voltage value information collected by the positioning contact and submitting the voltage value information to a cloud server through the communication module.
For the parts not detailed in the example of the active electronic price tag, reference is made to the above description, and the detailed description is omitted here.
The electronic price tag provided by the embodiment of the application only sets a certain number of contacts on the second surface, and has small influence on the volume of the electronic price tag body. For the guide rail provided by the embodiment of the application, the thickness of the positioning circuit board arranged in the guide rail groove is smaller, and the volume change is not large compared with that of the traditional guide rail; in addition, except for related wires, the circuit board is only provided with a simple resistor, and the later maintenance cost is low. In the use, after the electronic price tag card is arranged in the guide rail groove, the electronic price tag can be ensured to be fixed at the installation position provided by the guide rail in a left-right sliding mode, so that the contact of the electronic price tag is electrically connected with the positioning detection circuit, and the operation is simple and convenient.
The following explains a process of determining the placement position information of the commodity object according to the embodiment of the present application, taking the four-layer shelf shown in fig. 6 as an example.
First, the cloud server can obtain identification information of electronic price tags associated with commodity objects in the entity stores.
When the operation personnel associated with the entity shop executes the display task, after the placing position of the commodity object is determined, the commodity object and the electronic price tag can be bound, and the electronic price tag is fixed at the position corresponding to the placing position of the commodity object, so that a consumer user can check the related information of the corresponding commodity object through the electronic price tag.
The shelf shown in fig. 6 may include 4 shelves, a rail for fixing an electronic price tag may be installed on a beam corresponding to each shelf, and after a commodity object is placed on the shelf, the electronic price tag may be clamped in the rail corresponding to the position of the commodity object, which may be specifically referred to a position relationship between the commodity object placed on the shelf shown in fig. 6 and the electronic price tag associated therewith.
In the actual operation process, the operator can establish the association relationship between the commodity object and the electronic price tag through the price tag management device, and request the cloud server to issue the related information of the commodity object to the associated electronic price tag for information display. The following takes the commodity object 1 in the physical store 1 as an example, and the implementation process of binding the electronic price tag is illustrated.
The staff in the physical store 1 can scan the barcode of the commodity object 1 and the barcode of the electronic price tag 131 through the price tag management device, obtain the identification information of the two, and submit the identification information to the cloud server. Correspondingly, the cloud server may issue the relevant information (e.g., commodity information, price information, inventory information, etc.) of the commodity object 1 to an Access Point (AP) deployed in the physical store 1, forward the relevant information of the commodity object 1 to the electronic price tag 131 through the AP, and display information through a display screen of the electronic price tag 131. Thus, the consumer user can view the information related to the merchandise object 1 through the electronic price tag 131.
Similarly, the binding process may be performed for the commodity object 2 and the electronic price tag 132, the binding process may be performed for the commodity object 3 and the electronic price tag 133, the binding process may be performed for the commodity object 4 and the electronic price tag 121, the binding process may be performed for the commodity object 5 and the electronic price tag 122, and the binding process may be performed for the commodity object 6 and the electronic price tag 123.
In the above example, the cloud server may obtain the association relationship between the commodity object and the electronic price tag shown in table 1 below.
TABLE 1
Figure BDA0002383319140000101
Secondly, the cloud server can obtain voltage value information related to at least one installation position provided by a guide rail arranged on the shelf, and a positioning detection circuit is arranged at the installation position.
As described above, the guide rail in the embodiment of the present application may include at least one installation position, and each installation position may be provided with a corresponding positioning detection circuit, and each positioning detection circuit corresponds to different voltage values, so that, after the electronic price tag is fixed to the guide rail, the voltage value corresponding to the positioning detection circuit at the position where the electronic price tag is located may be obtained, and the electronic price tag is submitted to the cloud server, and the cloud server determines the specific installation position of the electronic price tag accordingly.
For a single-layer shelf, a guide rail for installing an electronic price tag may be configured correspondingly, and the installation location information stored by the cloud server may include identification information of a subdivision location that can be provided by the guide rail. Namely, the cloud server can determine the position of the electronic price tag on the guide rail according to the voltage value information.
For a shelf comprising at least two laminates, at least two guide rails for installing electronic price tags can be configured correspondingly, and the installation position information stored by the cloud server can comprise identification information of a shelf layer where the guide rail is located and identification information of subdivision positions that can be provided by the guide rail. That is, the cloud server can determine which guide rail the electronic price tag is located according to the voltage value information (in this example, the guide rail can be identified through the shelf layer where the guide rail is located, that is, the identification information of the shelf layer where the guide rail is located can be used as the identity information of the guide rail), and where the electronic price tag is located on the guide rail. Taking the schematic diagram shown in fig. 6 as an example, the association relationship between the installation position information and the voltage value information stored in the cloud server may be as shown in table 2 below.
TABLE 2
Figure BDA0002383319140000111
And then, the electronic price tag can obtain the first voltage value information of the installation position of the electronic price tag and send the first voltage value information to the cloud server.
As described above, after the electronic price tag is fixed at the installation position provided by the guide rail, the positioning contact of the electronic price tag can be electrically connected with the positioning detection circuit arranged at the installation position, the positioning contact can collect the first voltage value information of the installation position where the electronic price tag is located and transmit the first voltage value information to the processor, and then the first voltage value information is transmitted to the cloud server through the communication module.
As an example, the processor may periodically submit information to the cloud server through the communication module; or, the information may be submitted after the instruction for verifying the exhibition task execution result issued by the cloud server is obtained. For example, the cloud server may issue instruction information to the electronic price tag when it is determined that the display task is completed.
In the embodiment of the application, if the electronic price tag does not have the remote communication capability, the instruction issued by the cloud server can be obtained through the AP, and the first voltage value information and the identification information of the electronic price tag are submitted to the cloud server through the AP. As an example, if the communication module in the electronic price tag is a bluetooth module, the processor may wirelessly communicate with the AP through the bluetooth module.
Finally, the cloud server can determine target installation position information associated with the first voltage value information according to the association relationship between the installation position information and the voltage value information.
Specifically, after obtaining the information submitted by the electronic price tag, the cloud server may determine the target installation position where the electronic price tag is located according to the association relationship shown in table 2, and may establish the association relationship between the identification information of the electronic price tag and the target installation position information.
Taking the electronic price tag 132 as an example, after the cloud server obtains the information submitted by the electronic price tag 132, according to the association relationship shown in table 2, it can be determined that the electronic price tag 132 is located at the 2 nd subdivision position of the guide rail arranged on the 3 rd shelf; for the electronic price tag 122, after the cloud server obtains the information submitted by the electronic price tag 122, it may be determined that the electronic price tag 122 is located at the 2 nd subdivision position of the guide rail disposed on the layer 2 shelf.
It is understood that the voltage value corresponding to the positioning detection circuit in table 2 is usually a theoretical value, for example, for a 12V power supply, the voltage value 4 corresponding to the positioning detection circuit at the subdivision position 1 may be 3V, the voltage value 5 corresponding to the positioning detection circuit at the subdivision position 2 may be 6V, and the voltage value 6 corresponding to the positioning detection circuit at the subdivision position 3 may be 9V. If the first voltage value obtained by the cloud server is 6V, the electronic price tag can be determined to be located at the 2 nd subdivision position of the guide rail arranged on the 3 rd shelf.
In an actual application process, a measured value of each positioning detection circuit may deviate from a theoretical value (for example, a first voltage value obtained by the cloud server is 6.5V, and the voltage value does not match with voltage value information associated with the installation position), and in order to ensure accuracy of determining the target installation position information according to the first voltage value information, the embodiment of the present application may provide the following preferred scheme:
the electronic price tag can obtain second voltage value information and submit the second voltage value information to the cloud server, wherein the second voltage value information can be a power supply voltage value of the electronic price tag. For the passive electronic price tag, after the electronic price tag is fixed on the guide rail, the power supply contact electrically connected with the high-voltage contact line by the electronic price tag can obtain second voltage value information; for an active electronic price tag, the output voltage of the power supply can be directly obtained as the second voltage value information.
In general, in the case of voltage fluctuation, the voltage value of the high-voltage contact line and the voltage value of the voltage dividing contact line vary in proportion to the same fluctuation range, so that the target mounting position information can be determined from the first voltage value information and the second voltage value information. Specifically, it is possible to obtain proportional value information associated with at least one mounting position, the proportional value information being determined by a resistance value of a first resistance and a resistance value of a second resistance in a positioning detection circuit provided at the mounting position; determining a first proportional value according to the first voltage value information and the second voltage value information if the first voltage value information does not coincide with the voltage value information associated with the at least one mounting location; and determining target installation position information associated with the first proportion value according to the proportion value information associated with the at least one installation position.
Taking the positioning detection circuit at the 2 nd subdivision position shown in FIG. 1 as an example, the second voltage value is VinFirst voltage value V ═ R5*Vin/(R2+R5) The ratio of the two is only equal to R2And R5The following proportional value information can be obtained according to the resistance values of the two resistors: r5/(R2+R5) And establishing the association relationship between the proportional value information and the 2 nd subdivision position. Therefore, after the cloud server obtains the first voltage value information and the second voltage value information, the first voltage value information and the second voltage value information can pass through the V/VinAnd obtaining a first proportion value, and determining the 2 nd subdivision position as a target installation position according to the incidence relation. Therefore, the problem of measurement errors caused by voltage jitter can be solved.
In sum, after the cloud server obtains the association relationship between the electronic price tag and the target installation position, the placement position information of the commodity object associated with the electronic price tag can be determined according to the association relationship, and then the placement position information is verified according to the legal display mode information to obtain verification result information.
In the embodiment of the application, the legal display mode information can be universal display mode information which is uniformly configured for each entity shop, and can be applied to all entity shops opened by a service provider; or, personalized display mode information configured for different entity stores may be provided, and in response to the personalized display mode information, the cloud server may obtain legal display mode information associated with each of the different entity stores, obtain target legal display mode information associated with a target entity store after determining identification information of the target entity store to which the electronic price tag belongs, and compare the target legal display mode information with placement position information of the commodity object to obtain verification result information associated with the target entity store.
Taking the electronic price tag 132 as an example, an implementation process of obtaining the verification result information by the cloud server is illustrated below.
The cloud server obtains the related information of the electronic price tag 132 associated with the entity store 1, which may specifically include the identification information of the electronic price tag 132 and the target installation position information of the electronic price tag 132 (in the example mentioned above, the target installation position information is the 2 nd subdivision position of the guide rail disposed on the 3 rd shelf), and meanwhile, according to the association relationship shown in table 1, it may be determined that the commodity object associated with the electronic price tag 132 is the commodity object 2, that is, the actual placement position of the commodity object 2 is the 3 rd shelf, so that the commodity object may be compared with the legal display mode information to obtain the verification result information.
For the placement position information of the commodity objects, in addition to the information of the shelf layer, the specific placement position of the commodity objects on the shelf layer can be further included. For example, in one mode, the shelf laminate may be divided into corresponding placement areas according to the subdivided positions of the electronic price tags. In the above example, the shelf 3 may be divided into 3 placing areas, and the placing position information of the commodity object 2 may be: the 2 nd placing area of the 3 rd layer shelf.
Or, in another mode, the relative position relationship between the commodity objects can be determined according to the commodity objects placed on the same layer plate, so that the specific placing positions of the commodity objects are represented. In the above example, if the commodity objects adjacent to the commodity object 2 on the left and right sides can be determined according to the related information of the electronic price tag 131 and the electronic price tag 133, the placing position information of the commodity object 2 may be: and the 3 rd layer of shelves, and the commodity objects arranged on the layer are commodity object 1, commodity object 2 and commodity object 3 from left to right in sequence.
Specifically, if the placement position information of the commodity object is matched with the legal display mode information, the verification result information with correct placement can be obtained; otherwise, the wrong placement check result information can be obtained.
As an example, if the product object placed at the 2 nd subdivision position of the 3 rd shelf in the legal display format information is the product object 7, the example may obtain the verification result information of the product object placing error, and issue the verification result information to the terminal device associated with the entity store 1 for the operator to view. Preferably, the verification result information may include information related to the commodity object with the wrong placement, for example, the commodity object 2 on the layer 3 shelf is placed with the wrong placement, please adjust to the commodity object 7, so that the operator can quickly perform error positioning according to the verification result information, which is beneficial to improving the error correction efficiency.
