Description

User design data communication device of electronic commerce website and communication method thereof

Technical Field

The invention relates to the field of electronic commerce, in particular to a user design data communication method and device for a large-scale visual online customized commodity electronic commerce website.

Background

The visual online customized commodity e-commerce website can enable common consumers to make personalized commodities such as personalized T-shirts, mug glasses, photo albums and the like online, and after the design is finished, the commodities can be directly placed for production by manufacturers.

The on-line design of consumers generally consists of design elements such as pictures, characters, figures, materials and the like, and the design belongs to creative work and needs to be repeatedly modified and completed in different time periods. The communication requirements include design saving, modification, reading and deletion. The existing communication design generally saves the whole design as a picture format, and when the whole design needs to be read and modified, the whole design is read in the picture format, and the picture is modified. This does not provide design element level modification (e.g., only modifying certain wrongly written words) and the user experience is poor. Meanwhile, the amount of the stored data is large (generally, the amount is at least several megabytes), and other operations of a user must be suspended during storage, so that the storage operation can be performed only when the user needs to store the data, and the system cannot automatically store the data.

The design function provided by the online customized e-commerce website is based on a specific commodity, and the commodity and the corresponding service attached to the design have specificity. For example, the design area of the mug is fan-shaped, the design area of the T-shirt can be 2 rectangles of the chest and back, and the design requirement of the name card comprises data required by some production processes, such as a bleeding line, a safety line and the like. The existing communication design supports different commodity online designs, a set of communication interface data structure needs to be provided for each type of commodity, and the development and maintenance cost of a program is improved.

The picture file size included in the design is in Megabytes (MB). In design, a plurality of pictures are generally included, and design adjustment such as position and rotation is performed on the pictures. When the design is stored in the server, a long time is needed, and if a plurality of users operate simultaneously, the time is multiplied under the condition of a certain bandwidth. Existing solutions increase the host server bandwidth to increase the amount of concurrency for user save operations, but the price for purchasing 1 part of 20MB server bandwidth may be 1 times that for purchasing 2 parts of 10MB bandwidth, for which the enterprise pays a significant amount of extra bandwidth cost.

The design needs to be used for formal production, and the final production needs to be truly reduced to the online design, so that errors cannot be generated. The requirement on the quality of design elements is high. Most of the existing manufacturers manually check the design in the production link, so that the efficiency of the manufacturers is low, and the labor cost is increased.

Example 1

For example: a user designs a rectangular business card with front and back sides required by the user in the foreground. The name card design is composed of a LOGO picture of a company, names of companies, names of people and characters and lines of contact ways. After the user inputs and typesets the characters, the LOGO picture of the company is added, and at this time, the flow is as shown in fig. 5, and the execution steps are as follows:

step S0101: and a foreground adds new design element event trigger.

Step S0102: and determining whether the added new element is a picture element or not, and if the added new element is another element, performing no communication processing. If it is a picture element, the process proceeds to step S0103.

Step S0103: before uploading, whether the picture meets the production quality requirements, such as picture format, size, resolution, color number and the like, is checked. If the quality of the picture does not meet the requirement, prompting the user to select the picture meeting the quality requirement, not uploading the picture, or entering the step S0104 after the user authorizes to approve to use the low-quality picture, and directly accessing the qualified picture to the step S0104.

Step S0104: if a plurality of picture servers are deployed in the system, the nearest server is automatically searched according to the position of the user, and all picture uploads are prevented from being sent to one server.

Step S0105: the user's picture files are uploaded from the user's computer to a designated picture server using a variety of file transfer protocols.

Step S0106: whether the thumbnail of the picture is returned or not is judged according to the terminal equipment used by the foreground, equipment with strong computing power can generate the thumbnail by using the same algorithm in the foreground, and equipment with low computing power can obtain the thumbnail of the picture by using the function. And simultaneously returning the access index of the uploaded picture in the server for metadata description in design. Because of security concerns, anonymous access over the network is not possible through the access index, requiring access via user security authentication.

Step S0107: the foreground stores the access index metadata of the picture into a design data structure of the foreground, and all subsequent operations aiming at the picture are carried out on the basis of the metadata. If the position of the picture in the design is modified and the operation of rotating 90 degrees is added, the original picture does not need to be processed, and only the description of metadata and the description of adding the new position X, Y coordinate and rotation 90 degrees are needed.

Example 2

The user may not continue designing for some reason during the design process and may wish to save the current design and so on before having time to continue. In this case, as shown in fig. 6, the following steps are executed:

step S0201: the front end encapsulates the design related data into communication packets by using XML, and the data relationship is shown in FIG. 7. The pictures and materials in the user design data use reference metadata instead of original pictures, and other characters and graphics are described by metadata, such as' Sudan, Song 17 number bold in X: 10, Y: 20 position display ". And commodity data, order and other electronic commerce data required in the design are also encapsulated into a communication message by XML.

Step S0202: the design communication message in the XML format is processed by the common communication protocol, such as: http, https, etc. to the background.

Step S0203: and the background carries out security inspection on the communication message to ensure that the received message is a real and safe communication message.

Step S0204: the background analyzes the communication message into a background design object, and the design object is delivered to a specific service processing object for processing.

Step S0205: and the business processing module judges that the communication is to store the design, stores the design into the database, and simultaneously performs reference operation on the materials and pictures referred in the design to avoid the materials and the pictures from being recycled or deleted.

Step S0206: and encapsulating the result of the service processing operation into a communication message by using XML (extensive Makeup language) to be prepared to be returned to the foreground.

Step S0207: transmitting the XML format design communication message to the foreground through the common communication protocol.
