Abstract

According to the present invention, a method for providing weight information and an electronic device for doing so are disclosed.

Description

A method for providing weight information, an electronic device for using it, and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium recording a computer program that executes the method.

This invention relates to a method for providing weight information and an electronic device for using it.

With the development of electronic technology, e-commerce has already secured a place in the shopping industry. Customers can buy items online without having to go to a shopping mall or market in person, and the items purchased online will be delivered to the customer's requested delivery address.

For this type of e-commerce, delivery speed has a significant impact on service satisfaction, therefore various solutions for faster delivery of goods to customers are being discussed. As one such solution, logistics centers are being established in multiple regions. Each logistics center stores various items sold online, so that when a purchase occurs, the item can be delivered to the customer from a logistics center near the customer's location. In other words, items are placed in various regions before a purchase occurs, and then, if a purchase occurs, the item can be retrieved and delivered from a logistics center adjacent to the customer's location, thereby shortening delivery time.

At this time, safety accidents related to the handling of goods in logistics centers frequently occur. During the repetitive process of lifting and moving goods, the risk of injury is greater if workers handle goods exceeding their expected weight without knowing their weight. Although methods such as directly displaying the weight on the goods or posting "Handle Heavy Goods with Care" signs in the logistics center exist, they still have limitations in preventing safety accidents. Therefore, discussions are underway on how to more effectively ensure worker safety.

For related information, please refer to previous documents such as KR 10-2019-0050894 A and KR 10-2001-0067855 A.

According to the various embodiments, the electronic device 100 can send and receive information related to the steps of the method for providing weight information with the operator terminal 110 connected to the electronic device 100.

Figure 3 is a flowchart illustrating the operation of an electronic device for providing weight information according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to Figure 3, in step S310, the electronic device can acquire identification information related to the product. According to an embodiment, the identification information related to the product can be acquired by an operator terminal and then transmitted to the electronic device. The identification information may include at least one of the product's inherent identification information and location identification information corresponding to the location where the product is located. The product's inherent identification information may be inherent identification information affixed to each product or corresponding to the product. The location identification information may be identification information affixed to the location where the product is located or corresponding to the location where the product is located.

In step S320, the electronic device can confirm the weight information of the product based on the identification information. The weight information of the product can correspond to the identification information. In other words, the weight information of the product can be mapped to the identification information in a database. According to an embodiment, the electronic device can store the identification information and the weight information of the product as product information. The product information represents the product-related information stored in the database, and the information included in the product information can be mapped to each other.

At this point, step S320 may include the following steps: using the product information to confirm the weight information of the product corresponding to the identification information. In other words, the electronic device can manage product information including identification information and product weight information, and after obtaining the identification information, it can confirm the weight information of the product mapped to the identification information from the product information.

Accordingly, electronic devices can be efficiently managed in a database, mapping product-related identification information and product weight information to each other, and providing product weight information quickly and accurately based on at least one piece of information at any step.

In step S330, the electronic device can provide a page including the weight information of the goods. According to an embodiment, the page including the weight information of the goods can be transmitted to the operator's terminal, thereby displaying it on the operator's terminal. Accordingly, the electronic device can accurately display the weight of the goods, allowing the operator to accurately understand the weight of the goods, thereby efficiently ensuring the operator's safety.

On the page including product weight information, the product weight information can be displayed using different icons according to the weight range. For example, the product weight information can be displayed using icons of different colors according to the weight range. For instance, when the product weight is less than a first weight, the product weight information can be displayed with a green icon; when the product weight is greater than or equal to the first weight but less than the second weight, the product weight information can be displayed with a yellow icon; and when the product weight is greater than or equal to the second weight, the product weight information can be displayed with a red icon. In this case, the first weight can be selected within the range of 5 kg to 10 kg, and the second weight can be selected within the range of 15 kg to 30 kg, but this is only an example, and the invention is not limited to this. Furthermore, the number of weight ranges is also only an example, and the invention is not limited to this; the weight range can be further subdivided.

A page that includes product weight information can further include at least one of the following: product center of gravity information, information about work aids, and information about work posture. Based on this, operators can estimate the product's center of gravity and consider the availability of work aids and correct work posture, thereby efficiently ensuring operator safety.

The page including product weight information may further include a care-handling icon when the product weight exceeds a critical weight limit. For example, the care-handling icon may include at least one of the phrases "Careful Weight" and "Handle with Care," and at least one of a triangle symbol indicating caution and warning. This allows operators handling products exceeding critical weight limits to accurately understand the product's weight, thereby effectively ensuring operator safety.

In step S430, the electronic device can provide a page including the weight information of the product. Step S430 is equivalent to step S330 described with reference to Figure 3.

After the page is provided according to step S430, in step S440, the electronic device can acquire location identification information of the location of the goods. Each of the inherent identification information of the goods and the weight information of the goods can be mapped to the location identification information in the database.

According to the embodiment, after the electronic device provides the page according to step S430, it can also obtain the identification information of the storage unit corresponding to the product. At this time, each of the inherent identification information of the product and the weight information of the product can be mapped to each other in the database with the identification information of the storage unit corresponding to the product.

In step S450, the electronic device can add location identification information to the product information. At this time, the added location identification information can be mapped to the product's inherent identification information and the product's weight information in the database.

According to the embodiment, in step S410, the electronic device can receive the inherent identification information of the goods obtained by the terminal of the operator performing the operation of displaying goods on the shelves of the logistics center. For example, the operator's terminal can obtain the inherent identification information of the goods by identifying the barcode information corresponding to the goods. In steps S420 and S430, the electronic device can confirm the weight information of the goods based on the inherent identification information of the goods, thereby transmitting a page including the weight information of the goods to the operator's terminal. In step S440, the electronic device can receive location identification information obtained by the operator's terminal indicating the location of the goods. As an example, the operator's terminal can obtain location identification information by identifying the barcode information corresponding to the shelf where the goods are displayed. In step S450, the electronic device can add the location identification information received from the operator's terminal to the product information, thereby managing the inherent identification information and weight information of the product together.

Figure 5 is a flowchart illustrating the operation of an electronic device for providing weight information in another embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to Figure 5, in step S510, the electronic device can acquire location identification information of the location where the goods are located. Step S510 can be equivalent to step S310 described with reference to Figure 3, in which case step S310 may include the step of acquiring location identification information.

In step S520, the electronic device can confirm the weight information of the product based on the location identification information. Step S520 is equivalent to step S320 described with reference to Figure 3. The weight information of the product can be mapped to the location identification information. In other words, the weight information of the product can be mapped to the location identification information in the database.

In step S530, the electronic device can provide a page including the weight information of the product. Step S530 is equivalent to step S330 described with reference to Figure 3.

After the page is provided according to step S530, in step S540, the electronic device can obtain the inherent identification information of the product. Each of the location identification information and the weight information of the product can be mapped to the inherent identification information of the product in the database.

According to the embodiment, in step S510, the electronic device can receive location identification information obtained by the terminal of the operator performing the operation of loading goods from the shelves of the logistics center. For example, the operator's terminal can obtain location identification information by identifying barcode information corresponding to the shelf containing the goods. In steps S520 and S530, the electronic device confirms the weight information of the goods based on the location identification information, thereby transmitting a page including the weight information of the goods to the operator's terminal. In step S540, the electronic device can receive the inherent identification information of the goods obtained by the operator's terminal. As an example, the operator's terminal can obtain the inherent identification information of the goods by identifying the barcode information corresponding to the containerized goods, and confirm the mapping relationship between the inherent identification information and the location identification information, as well as the mapping relationship between the inherent identification information and the weight information of the goods in the goods information. At this time, if the inherent identification information of the goods stored in the goods information is different from the inherent identification information obtained in step S540, the inherent identification information of the goods in the goods information can also be updated to the inherent identification information obtained in step S540.

Figure 6 is a flowchart illustrating the operation of an electronic device for providing weight information in another embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to Figure 6, in step S610, the electronic device can acquire identification information of the storage unit corresponding to the product. According to an embodiment, the identification information of the storage unit can be acquired by an operator terminal and then transmitted to the electronic device. The identification information of the storage unit can be attached to each storage unit or inherent identification information corresponding to the storage unit. For example, a storage unit can be a logistics box, pallet, or other unit in a logistics center capable of accommodating or moving at least one product.

In step S620, the electronic device can confirm the weight information of the storage unit based on the identification information of the storage unit. The weight information of the storage unit corresponds to the identification information of the storage unit. In other words, the weight information of the storage unit can be mapped to the identification information of the storage unit in the database. According to an embodiment, the electronic device can store the identification information and the weight information of the storage unit as the information of the storage unit. The information of the storage unit represents the information related to the storage unit stored in the database, and the information included in the information of the storage unit can be mapped to each other. Furthermore, the information of the storage unit may be included in the information of the goods included in each storage unit.

At this point, step S620 may include the following steps: using the information of the storage unit to confirm the weight information of the storage unit corresponding to the identification information of the storage unit. In other words, the electronic device can manage the information of the storage unit, including the identification information and weight information of the storage unit. After obtaining the identification information of the storage unit, the device can confirm the weight information of the storage unit mapped to the identification information of the storage unit from the information of the storage unit.

More specifically, step S620 may include the following steps: confirming the weight information of at least one item based on the identification information of the storage unit corresponding to the identification information of the storage unit; and confirming the weight information of the storage unit based on the weight information of the at least one item. For example, when the storage unit includes multiple items, the step of confirming the weight information of the storage unit may include the step of accumulating the weight information of the items. According to the embodiment, in the step of accumulating the weight information of the items, for the convenience of calculation and data management, items with a minimum weight (e.g., 100 g) are also excluded from the accumulation.

In step S630, the electronic device can provide a page including weight information of the storage unit. According to an embodiment, the page including weight information of the storage unit can be transmitted to an operator terminal, whereby it can be displayed. Similar to the page including weight information of the product described with reference to Figure 3, in the page including weight information of the storage unit, the weight information of the storage unit can be displayed with different icons according to weight ranges. However, for example, the number of weight ranges for the storage unit and the base weight of the weight range may differ from the number of weight ranges and the base weight of the weight range for the product. Furthermore, the page including the weight information of the storage unit may further include at least one of the following: the center of gravity information of the storage unit, information related to the work aids, and information related to the work posture. Also, the page including the weight information of the storage unit may include a care handling icon when the weight information of the storage unit exceeds the critical weight. However, for example, the critical weight of the storage unit may differ from the critical weight of the product.

According to the embodiment, steps S610 to S630 can be performed before step S310 as described with reference to Figure 3.

According to the embodiment, in step S610, the electronic device can receive identification information of a storage unit from the terminal of an operator performing the operation of displaying goods on shelves in a logistics center or a repackaging operation of transferring goods contained in one storage unit to other storage units. For example, the operator's terminal can obtain the identification information of a storage unit by identifying the barcode information corresponding to the storage unit containing the goods. In steps S620 and S630, the electronic device can confirm the weight information of the storage unit based on the identification information, thereby transmitting a page including the weight information of the storage unit to the operator's terminal.

Accordingly, in at least one of the following processes—moving a storage unit to the vicinity of a shelf to display goods on the shelf, loading a storage unit onto another moving mechanism to move the storage unit to the vicinity of a shelf, and moving a storage unit to the vicinity of another storage unit to transfer goods to another storage unit for repackaging—the operator handling the storage unit can accurately know the weight of the storage unit, including the goods, thereby efficiently ensuring the safety of the operator.

Furthermore, the electronic device can store the identification information and weight information of the storage unit received from the operator's terminal as information of the storage unit and information of the goods for management.

Figure 7 is a flowchart illustrating the operation of an electronic device for providing weight information in another embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to Figure 7, in step S710, the electronic device can acquire identification information of other storage units that are different from the storage unit described with reference to Figure 6. According to an embodiment, the identification information of other storage units can be acquired by the operator terminal and then transmitted to the electronic device.

In step S720, the electronic device can update the identification information of the storage unit included in the product information to the identification information of other storage units obtained in step S710. In other words, it can update the information of which storage units the product corresponds to.

According to the embodiment, steps S710 and S720 can be performed after step S330 as described with reference to Figure 3.

According to the embodiment, in step S710, the electronic device can receive identification information of other storage units obtained by the terminal of the operator performing the repackaging operation of transferring goods contained in any storage unit to other storage units. For example, the operator's terminal can obtain the identification information of other storage units by identifying the barcode information corresponding to the other storage unit to which the goods are expected to be transferred. The electronic device can update the identification information of any storage unit stored with the information of the storage unit and the information of the goods to the identification information of other storage units received from the operator's terminal for management purposes.

Figure 8 is a flowchart illustrating the operation of an electronic device for providing weight information in another embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to Figure 8, in step S810, the electronic device can store the identification information of the waybill corresponding to a packaging box containing at least one item and the weight information of the packaging box as the item information. Step S810 can be performed after the step of packaging at least one item. The identification information of the waybill can be the inherent identification information affixed to the packaged box or corresponding to the packaged box. The identification information of the waybill and the weight information of the packaging box can be mapped to each other, and each of the other information included in the item information can be mapped to each other in the database. For example, the packaging box can be a unit that can move goods from a logistics center to other logistics centers or distribution locations. As shown in Figure 14, for example, the weight information of the packaging box, which is mapped to the identification information of the waybill, can be recorded on the waybill printed and affixed to the packaging box.

In step S820, the electronic device can obtain the waybill identification information. According to the embodiment, the waybill identification information can be obtained by the operator terminal and then transmitted to the electronic device.

In step S830, the electronic device can confirm the weight information of the packaging box based on the identification information of the waybill. The weight information of the packaging box corresponds to the identification information of the waybill. In other words, the weight information of the packaging box can be mapped to the identification information of the waybill in the database. According to an embodiment, the electronic device can store the identification information of the waybill and the weight information of the packaging box as the information of the packaging box. The information of the packaging box represents the information related to the packaging box stored in the database, and the information included in the information of the packaging box can be mapped to each other. Furthermore, the information of the packaging box can be included in the information of the goods contained in each packaging box.

At this point, step S830 may include the following steps: using the packaging box information to confirm the weight information of the packaging box corresponding to the identification information of the waybill. In other words, the electronic device can manage the identification information of the waybill and the information of the packaging box, including the weight information of the packaging box. After obtaining the identification information of the waybill, it can confirm the weight information of the packaging box mapped to the identification information of the waybill from the information of the packaging box.

More specifically, step S830 may include the following steps: confirming the weight information of at least one item included in the package based on the identification information of at least one item corresponding to the identification information of the waybill; and confirming the weight information of the package based on the weight information of the at least one item. For example, when the package includes multiple items, the step of confirming the weight information of the package may include the step of accumulating the weight information of the items. According to the embodiment, in the step of accumulating the weight information of the items, for the convenience of calculation and data management, items with a minimum weight (e.g., 100 g) are also excluded from the accumulation.

In step S840, the electronic device can provide a page including weight information of the packaging boxes. According to an embodiment, the page including the weight information of the packaging boxes can be transmitted to an operator terminal for display. Similar to the page including the weight information of the goods described with reference to Figure 3 and the page including the weight information of the storage unit described with reference to Figure 6, the weight information of the packaging boxes can be displayed with different icons according to weight ranges on the page including the weight information of the packaging boxes. However, for example, the number of weight ranges for the packaging boxes and the base weight of the weight range may differ from the number of weight ranges for the goods and the base weight of the weight range. Furthermore, the page including packaging box weight information may further include at least one of the following: packaging box center of gravity information, information related to work aids, and information related to work posture. Also, the page including packaging box weight information may include a care handling icon when the packaging box weight information exceeds the critical weight. However, for example, the critical weight of the packaging box may differ from the critical weight of the product.

According to the embodiment, steps S810 to S840 can be performed after step S330 as described with reference to Figure 3.

According to the embodiment, in step S810, the electronic device can store the identification information of the waybill received from the terminal of the operator performing the packaging operation as product information. For example, the operator's terminal can obtain the waybill identification information by identifying the waybill barcode information affixed to the packaging box after packaging (see Figure 14-1410). In step S820, the electronic device can receive the identification information of the waybill obtained from the terminal of the operator performing the operation of dispatching goods from the logistics center to other logistics centers or distribution locations. At this time, the operator performing the dispatch operation may also be different from the operator performing the packaging operation. As an example, the operator's terminal can obtain the waybill identification information by identifying the waybill barcode information corresponding to the expected outbound packaging box.
