Description

METHOD, ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND RECORDING MEDIUM FOR GENERATING PACKAGING INFORMATION

The present disclosure relates to a technique for generating packaging information for a product.

E-commerce platforms offer today's consumers a convenient shopping experience, independent of time and location. E-commerce platforms allow consumers to conveniently order desired products without having to visit a physical store. These advancements in e-commerce technology offer consumers the freedom to choose when and where to shop, providing significant convenience.

However, some consumers still prefer to visit offline stores, such as department stores, to purchase products. This is because offline stores offer certified genuine products distributed directly by manufacturers or brands. Furthermore, offline stores often offer premium packaging services, which builds consumer confidence in the authenticity of the product and, from an aesthetic perspective, creates a satisfying shopping experience by conveying the perception that they have purchased a high-quality product.

To provide a more satisfying shopping experience than offline stores, e-commerce platforms can offer a service where, when a customer orders a product in a premium packaging category, the product is packaged in a premium box and delivered to the customer. This allows consumers to feel a high level of confidence in the authenticity of the product and a sense of satisfaction when ordering from an e-commerce platform.

When a consumer orders multiple products in a premium packaging group, each product can be individually packaged and delivered in a premium box. For example, if a consumer orders five products in a premium packaging group, each product may be individually packaged in a separate premium box, resulting in a total of five premium boxes being delivered to the consumer. In this case, the consumer may feel uncomfortable due to excessive packaging, which may lead to waste of packaging materials. To address this issue, if some of the products in a premium packaging group can be packaged together in a single premium box, the total number of premium boxes required to package multiple products can be reduced. This approach can reduce consumer inconvenience caused by excessive packaging and save unnecessary packaging materials, providing a more environmentally friendly packaging service. Therefore, the present disclosure provides a technology for determining a premium box capable of packaging at least two or more products in a premium packaging group together and generating packaging information for the products in the premium packaging group.

The present disclosure proposes a method for generating packaging information. According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the method may include: obtaining order information for a plurality of products; identifying at least two products belonging to a premium packaging group among the plurality of products, wherein the premium packaging group corresponds to a premium box group, and the premium box group includes at least one premium box; and determining a recommended premium box for packaging the at least two products together among the at least one premium box, based on the size of each of the at least two products.

According to one embodiment, the order information for the plurality of products includes product information for each of the plurality of products, and the product information for each of the at least two or more products may include a flag indicating that each of the at least two target products belongs to the premium packaging group.

According to one embodiment, the step of determining the recommended premium box for packaging the at least two or more target products together from among the at least one premium box based on the size of each of the at least two or more products may include the step of determining whether the at least two or more products can be packaged together in a first premium box having the smallest size from among the at least one premium box.

According to one embodiment, the step of determining a recommended premium box for packaging the at least two or more products together from among the at least one premium box, based on the sizes of each of the at least two or more products, may include, in response to determining that the at least two or more products cannot be packaged together in the first premium box, determining whether the at least two or more products can be packaged together in a second premium box that is smaller in size than the first premium box, which is the smallest in size among the at least one premium box.

According to one embodiment, the step of determining, based on the sizes of each of the at least two or more products, the premium box for packaging the at least two or more products together from among the at least one premium box may include, in response to determining that the at least two or more products can be packaged together in the second premium box, determining the second premium box as the recommended premium box for packaging the at least two or more products together.

According to one embodiment, the method may further include the steps of: identifying a largest product among the at least two products if the at least two products cannot be packed in a third largest premium box among the at least one premium box; and determining a premium box among the at least one premium box for packing the remaining products, excluding the largest product, together.

In one embodiment, the method may further include the steps of: determining whether the largest product can be individually packaged in the third premium box, which is the largest among the at least one premium box; and, in response to determining that the largest product cannot be individually packaged in the third premium box, generating an instruction to package the largest product in a premium box corresponding to a size of the largest product.

According to one embodiment, the at least two products may include an ordered product and a free gift provided upon ordering the ordered product.

According to one embodiment, the outer surface of each of the at least one premium box belonging to the premium box group may be printed with text indicating that a product packed by each of the at least one premium box belongs to the premium packaging group.

According to one embodiment, at least one advanced box belonging to the advanced box group may each correspond to at least one general box belonging to the general box group.

According to one embodiment, the recommended premium box for packaging at least two target products together may correspond to a recommended regular box belonging to the regular box group.

In one embodiment, the at least two target products may be packaged together in the recommended premium box, and the recommended premium box may be packaged in the recommended regular box.

According to one embodiment, the method further comprises the step of transmitting packaging information for at least two products belonging to the advanced packaging group to a device of a packaging worker, wherein the packaging information for at least two products belonging to the advanced packaging group may include information on the recommended advanced box for packaging the at least two target products together.

The present disclosure proposes an electronic device for generating packaging information. According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the electronic device comprises one or more processors, one or more memories storing instructions executed by the one or more processors, and when the instructions are executed by the one or more processors, the one or more processors are configured to execute a method according to the present disclosure.

The present disclosure proposes a non-transitory computer-readable recording medium recording instructions for generating packaging information. The instructions recorded on the non-transitory computer-readable recording medium according to the present disclosure can be configured to cause one or more processors to execute a method according to the present disclosure.

According to the present disclosure, a premium box capable of packaging at least two products belonging to a premium packaging group among multiple products ordered by a consumer can be determined, and the premium box can be recommended to a packaging worker. By having the packaging worker package at least two products belonging to the premium packaging group together in the recommended premium box, the total number of premium boxes required to package multiple products ordered by the consumer can be reduced.

FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an advanced packaging process (400) for an advanced packaging group (410) according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. According to one embodiment, when two or more products belong to the advanced packaging group (410) among a plurality of products indicated by order information, the electronic device (110) may determine an advanced box (420) for packaging at least two or more products (411, 412, 413) belonging to the advanced packaging group (410) together. For example, the electronic device (110) may determine an advanced box (420) for packaging at least two or more products (411, 412, 413) together based on the respective sizes of the at least two or more products (411, 412, 413) belonging to the advanced packaging group (410). For example, in response to determining a premium box (420) for packaging at least two products (411, 412, 413) belonging to a premium packaging group (410), the electronic device (110) may generate packaging information for the at least two products (411, 412, 413) belonging to the premium packaging group (410). For example, the packaging information for the at least two products (411, 412, 413) belonging to the premium packaging group (410) may indicate a premium box (420) for packaging the at least two products (411, 412, 413) belonging to the premium packaging group (410) together and a general box (430) for packaging the premium box (420). That is, at least two products (411, 412, 413) belonging to the high-end packaging group (410) can be primarily packed in a high-end box (420) and secondarily packed in a general box (430).

For example, the premium box (420) may have a different shape or texture than the regular box (430).

For example, the premium box (420) may have a different color than the regular box (430). For example, the premium box (420) may have a first color, and the regular box (430) may have a second color different from the first color. Here, the first color is a color that indicates that the product packaged in the premium box (420) belongs to the premium packaging group (410), and may be a color with a saturation lower than a predetermined value (e.g., black). Additionally, the second color may be a color with a saturation higher than the first color.

For example, the premium box (420) may be a box whose outer surface is coated to have a different texture from that of the general box (430). For example, the outer surface of the premium box (420) may have a first texture indicating that the product packed in the premium box (420) belongs to the premium packaging group (410), and the first texture may have a roughness lower than that of the second texture of the outer surface of the general box (430).

For example, the outer surface of the premium box (420) may have text printed on it indicating that the product packaged in the premium box (420) belongs to the premium packaging group (410). For example, the text printed on the outer surface of the premium box (420) may indicate that the product packaged in the premium box (420) is certified as a genuine product officially distributed by the manufacturer or brand.

For example, a waybill for goods packed in the general box (430) and the corresponding high-end box (420) may be attached to the outer surface of the general box (430).

According to one embodiment, if there is at least one product belonging to a premium packaging group (410) among the multiple products indicated by the order information, the electronic device (110) may determine a premium box for individually packaging one target product belonging to the premium packaging group (410). In this case, the packaging information for the premium packaging group (410) may indicate a premium box for individually packaging one product belonging to the premium packaging group (410) and a general box for packaging the premium box.

FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating a premium box group (500) according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. According to one embodiment, a premium packaging group may correspond to a premium box group (500). For example, a premium box group (500) may include at least one premium box (510, 520, 530, 540, 550, 560). For example, at least one premium box (510, 520, 530, 540, 550, 560) belonging to a premium group box (500) may each correspond to at least one general box belonging to a general box group. For example, a premium box belonging to a premium group box (500) may correspond 1:1 to a general box belonging to a general box group.

According to one embodiment, a product belonging to a premium packaging group can be packaged in a premium box determined from among at least one premium box (510, 520, 530, 540, 550, 560) belonging to a premium box group (500). In addition, a premium box packaging a product belonging to a premium packaging group can be packaged in a corresponding general box. For example, when there are two or more products belonging to a premium packaging group, the electronic device (110) can determine a premium box capable of packaging at least two or more products belonging to a premium packaging group (320) together from among at least one premium box (510, 520, 530, 540, 550, 560) belonging to a premium box group (500). After determining a premium box capable of packaging at least two or more products belonging to a premium packaging group (320) together, the electronic device (110) can identify a general box for packaging the determined premium box. For example, the electronic device (110) may receive information about the correspondence between the premium box group (500) and the regular box group from an external device, and identify a regular box for packaging the premium box based on the correspondence between the premium box group (500) and the regular box group. For example, if there is one product belonging to the premium packaging group, the electronic device (110) may determine a premium box capable of individually packaging one product belonging to the premium packaging group from among at least one premium box (510, 520, 530, 540, 550, 560) belonging to the premium box group (500). After determining a premium box capable of individually packaging one product belonging to the premium packaging group, the electronic device (110) may identify a regular box for packaging the determined premium box.

Meanwhile, the example of FIG. 5 is merely an assumption made to explain an embodiment of the present disclosure, and the present disclosure is not limited thereto. For example, the example of FIG. 5 assumes that six types of high-end boxes (510, 520, 530, 540, 550, 560) of different sizes belong to the high-end box group (500), but fewer or more types of high-end boxes may belong to the high-end box group (500).

FIG. 6A is a diagram illustrating an advanced packaging process (600) for packaging at least two products (601, 602, 603) belonging to an advanced packaging group together according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

FIG. 6B is a diagram illustrating an advanced packaging process (650) for individually packaging one product (604) belonging to an advanced packaging group according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. According to one embodiment, when there is one product belonging to an advanced packaging group, the electronic device (110) may determine, based on the size of the one product (604) belonging to the advanced packaging group, an advanced box for individually packaging the one product (604) belonging to the advanced packaging group from among at least one advanced box (611, 612, 613, 614, 615, 616) belonging to the advanced box group. Here, the advanced box for individually packaging the one product (604) may be an advanced box recommended to a packaging worker performing packaging work on one product belonging to the advanced packaging group. For example, the electronic device (110) may repeat the advanced packaging process (650) including S615, S625, S635, S645, S655 and S665 until it determines an advanced box for individually packaging one product (604) belonging to the advanced packaging group.

For example, in S615, the electronic device (110) may determine whether one product (604) belonging to the premium packaging group can be 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 one product (604) belonging to the premium packaging group can be individually packaged in the premium box (611), the electronic device (110) may determine the premium box (611) as a recommended premium box for individually packaging one product (604) belonging to the premium packaging group.

For example, in S625, in response to determining that one product (604) belonging to the premium packaging group cannot be individually packaged in the premium box (611), the electronic device (110) may determine whether one product (604) belonging to the premium packaging group can be individually packaged in the premium box (612) that is smaller than 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 one product (604) belonging to the premium packaging group can be individually packaged in the premium box (612), the electronic device (110) may determine the premium box (612) as a recommended premium box for individually packaging one product (604) belonging to the premium packaging group.

For example, in S635, in response to determining that one product (604) in the premium packaging group cannot be individually packaged in the premium box (612), the electronic device (110) may determine whether one product (604) in the premium packaging group can be individually packaged in a premium box (613) that is smaller in size than the premium box (612) among at least one premium box (611, 612, 613, 614, 615, 616) in the premium box group. In response to determining that one product (604) in the premium packaging group can be individually packaged in the premium box (613), the electronic device (110) may determine the premium box (613) as a recommended premium box for individually packaging one product (604) in the premium packaging group.

For example, in S645, in response to determining that one product (604) belonging to the premium packaging group cannot be individually packaged in the premium box (613), the electronic device (110) may determine whether one product (604) belonging to the premium packaging group can be individually packaged in the premium box (614) that is smaller in size than the premium box (613) among at least one premium box (611, 612, 613, 614, 615, 616) belonging to the premium box group. In response to determining that one product (604) belonging to the premium packaging group can be individually packaged in the premium box (614), the electronic device (110) may determine the premium box (614) as a recommended premium box for individually packaging one product (604) belonging to the premium packaging group.

For example, in S655, in response to determining that one product (604) belonging to the premium packaging group cannot be individually packaged in the premium box (614), the electronic device (110) may determine whether one product (604) belonging to the premium packaging group can be individually packaged in a premium box (615) that is smaller in size than the premium box (614) among at least one premium box (611, 612, 613, 614, 615, 616) belonging to the premium box group. In response to determining that one product (604) belonging to the premium packaging group can be packaged in the premium box (615), the electronic device (110) may determine the premium box (615) as a recommended premium box for individually packaging one product (604) belonging to the premium packaging group.

For example, in S665, in response to determining that one product (604) belonging to the premium packaging group cannot be individually packaged in the premium box (615), the electronic device (110) may determine whether one product (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. In response to determining that one product (604) belonging to the premium packaging group can be individually packaged in the premium box (616), the electronic device (110) may determine the premium box (616) as a recommended premium box for individually packaging one product (604) belonging to the premium packaging group. In response to determining that one product (604) belonging to the premium packaging group cannot be individually packaged in a premium box (616), the electronic device (110) may determine that there is no premium box among at least one premium box (611, 612, 613, 614, 615, 616) belonging to the premium box group that is large enough to individually package one product (604) belonging to the premium packaging group. In this case, the electronic device (110) may generate an instruction to package the product in a premium box corresponding to the size of the product (604) belonging to the premium packaging group. That is, since there is no premium box in the premium box group that is large enough to package one product (604), the electronic device (110) may generate an instruction to package the product (604) in a customized premium box of the size of the product (604).

FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating an advanced packaging process (700) according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. According to one embodiment, in response to determining separate packaging for at least two or more products (701, 702, 703) belonging to an advanced packaging group, the electronic device (110) may identify the largest product (702) among the at least two or more products (701, 702, 703) belonging to the advanced packaging group. For example, the electronic device (110) may separate the remaining products, excluding the largest product (702), among at least one product (701, 702, 703) belonging to the advanced packaging group into a combined packaging group (710) and the largest product (702) into an individual packaging group (720).

According to one embodiment, the electronic device (110) can determine a recommended premium box for packaging at least two or more products (701, 703) belonging to a combined packaging group (710) by performing an advanced packaging process (see the description of FIG. 6A) for packaging at least two or more products (701, 703) belonging to a combined packaging group (710) together.

For example, if there is no premium box of a size that can package at least two or more products (701, 703) belonging to the combined packaging group (710) among at least one premium box belonging to the premium box group, the electronic device (110) may determine separate packaging for at least two or more products (701, 703) belonging to the combined packaging group (710). In this case, the electronic device (110) may identify the largest product (703) among the at least two or more products (701, 703) belonging to the combined packaging group (710). For example, the electronic device (110) may separate the remaining products (701) excluding the largest product (703) among the at least two or more products (701, 703) belonging to the combined packaging group (710) into the combined packaging group (710) and the largest product (703) into the individual packaging group (720).

For example, if the number of products remaining in the combined packaging group (710) is 1, the electronic device (110) can change one product belonging to the combined packaging group (710) to belong to the individual packaging group (720).

According to one embodiment, the electronic device (110) can determine an advanced box for individually packaging the products (702) belonging to the individual packaging group (720) by performing an advanced packaging process (see the description of FIG. 6b) for individually packaging the products (702) belonging to the individual packaging group (720).

FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating a premium packaging process (800) according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. In one embodiment, in response to determining that there is no premium box of a size that can individually package a product (810) belonging to the premium packaging group among at least one premium box group, the electronic device (110) may generate an instruction to individually package the product (810) in a premium box (820) corresponding to the size of the product (810). In this case, the electronic device (110) may determine the premium box (820) as a recommended premium box for individually packaging the product (810) belonging to the premium packaging group. For example, the premium box (820) may be a premium box that does not belong to the premium box group. For example, the premium box (820) may be a premium box that is larger than at least one premium box belonging to the premium box group. For example, the premium box (820) may correspond to at least one regular box belonging to the regular box group. That is, the premium box (820) corresponds to a regular box of the smallest size that can package the premium box (820) among at least one regular box belonging to the regular box group, and the premium box (820) can be packaged in this corresponding regular box. Alternatively, the premium box (820) can correspond to a regular box larger in size than at least one regular box belonging to the regular box group. That is, the premium (820) can be packaged in a regular box larger in size than at least one regular box belonging to the regular box group.

FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating a general packaging process (900) for a general packaging group (910) according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.
