Abstract

A method and a device for determining a placement region of an item are disclosed. The method according to the present disclosure comprises: acquiring position information of an electronic identification at a bar display screen; and determining the placement region of the item according to the position information and a preset mapping relationship.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method for determining a placement region of an item, the method comprising:
acquiring position information related with a position where an electronic identification of the item is displayed at a bar display screen; and
determining the placement region of the item according to the position information and a preset mapping relationship, the placement region refers to an actual place where the item is to be placed.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the position information comprises: a distance between same-side endpoint positions of adjacent electronic identifications, or a distance between center positions of the adjacent electronic identifications.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the preset mapping relationship comprises:
a mapping relationship between the position information of the electronic identification and a first region at the bar display screen, and a mapping relationship between the first region at the bar display screen and the placement region of the item, wherein the first region indicates a specific position of the electronic identification at the bar display screen;
or,
a mapping relationship between the position information of the electronic identification and the placement region of the item.

4. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
updating, when a change in the position information of the electronic identification is detected, the position information of the changed electronic identification; and
determining the placement region of the item corresponding to the changed electronic identification.

5. The method according to claim 4 , wherein, after determining the placement region of the item corresponding to the changed electronic identification, the method further comprises:
resetting a display region and a display content of the electronic identification at the bar display screen according to the placement region of the item corresponding to the changed electronic identification and item information corresponding to the changed electronic identification, and displaying the updated electronic identification at the bar display screen.

6. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the item information comprises any one of an item name, an item price, an item picture, advertisement information or any combination thereof.

7. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
comparing information of an actual placement region of the item with the placement region of the item to judge whether the two are consistent with each other;
if the information of the actual placement region of the item is consistent with the placement region of the item, determining that the placement region of the item is correct, otherwise, determining that the placement region of the item is wrong.

8. The method according to claim 7 , further comprising:
controlling a camera device to perform image extraction to acquire the information of the actual placement region of the item.

9. A device for determining a placement region of an item, the device comprising:
an acquiring circuit configured to acquire position information related with a position where an electronic identification of the item is displayed at a bar display screen; and
a first determining circuit configured to determine the placement region of the item according to the position information and a preset mapping relationship, the placement region refers to an actual place where the item is to be placed.

10. The device according to claim 9 , wherein the position information comprises: a distance between same-side endpoint positions of adjacent electronic identifications, or a distance between center positions of the adjacent electronic identifications.

11. The device according to claim 9 , wherein the preset mapping relationship comprises:
a mapping relationship between the position information of the electronic identification and a first region at the bar display screen, and a mapping relationship between the first region at the bar display screen and the placement region of the item, wherein the first region indicates a specific position of the electronic identification at the bar display screen;
or,
a mapping relationship between the position information of the electronic identification and the placement region of the item.

12. The device according to claim 9 , the device further comprising:
an updating circuit configured to update, when a change in the position information of the electronic identification is detected, the position information of the changed electronic identification; and
a second determining circuit configured to determine the placement region of the item corresponding to the changed electronic identification.

13. The device according to claim 12 , the device further comprising:
a setting circuit configured to reset a display region and a display content of the electronic identification at the bar display screen according to the placement region of the item corresponding to the changed electronic identification and item information corresponding to the changed electronic identification, and display the updated electronic identification at the bar display screen.

14. The device according to claim 13 , wherein the item information comprises any one of an item name, an item price, an item picture, advertisement information or any combination thereof.

15. The device according to claim 9 , the device further comprising:
a judging circuit configured to compare information of an actual placement region of the item with the placement region of the item to judge whether the two are consistent with each other;
a third determining circuit configured to, if the information of the actual placement region of the item is consistent with the placement region of the item, determine that the placement region of the item is correct, otherwise, determine that the placement region of the item is wrong.

16. The device according to claim 15 , the device further comprising:
a control circuit configured to control a camera device to perform image extraction to acquire the information of the actual placement region of the item.

17. A non-transitory storage medium having stored thereon instructions, which are adapted to be loaded by a processor and perform the method for determining the placement region of the item according to claim 1 .

18. An electronic device comprising a storage medium and a processor; wherein
the processor is adapted to implement instructions;
the storage medium is adapted to store the instructions; and
the instructions are adapted to be loaded by the processor and perform the method for determining the placement region of the item according to claim 1 .
