Embodiment 1

[0070] Embodiment one, such as figure 1 As shown, a control method of an unmanned supermarket shelf monitoring system, the method includes:

[0071] Step 1, when using for the first time or restoring factory settings, it is necessary to set the start-up setting for the shooting device 1. After the shooting device 1 is turned on, it will automatically send out a hotspot. After the user terminal 4 is connected to the hotspot, set the start-up setting through the terminal interface of the user terminal 4;

[0072] The wifi account number input by the terminal interface of the user terminal 4, the password and the start-up setting of the preset standby time interval are transmitted to the shooting device 1 through the hot spot connected by the user terminal 4;

[0073] The photographing device 1 connects to the wifi network in the region according to the received wifi account number and password, and realizes the network connection with the background server 2;

[0074] The shoot...

Embodiment 2

[0087] Embodiment 2, a control method for a shelf monitoring system in an unmanned supermarket, differs from the method in Embodiment 1 in that an ultrasonic sensor is used instead of an infrared sensor 15 to sense a human body approaching a shelf. Step 4 becomes: before the photographing device 1 takes a picture, an ultrasonic sensor provided on the photographing device 1 first senses whether there is a human body in front of it, and when the ultrasonic sensor detects that there is a human body in front, the photographing device 1 suspends the process of taking pictures Wait until the ultrasonic sensor detects that there is no human body blocking in front, and then continue to execute the preset camera program.

Embodiment 3

[0088] Embodiment three, such as figure 1 As shown, a control method of an unmanned supermarket shelf monitoring system, the method includes:

[0089] Step 1, when using for the first time or restoring factory settings, it is necessary to set the start-up setting for the shooting device 1. After the shooting device 1 is turned on, it will automatically send out a hotspot. After the user terminal 4 is connected to the hotspot, set the start-up setting through the terminal interface of the user terminal 4;

[0090] The wifi account number input by the terminal interface of the user terminal 4, the password and the start-up setting of the preset standby time interval are transmitted to the shooting device 1 through the hot spot connected by the user terminal 4;

[0091] The photographing device 1 connects to the wifi network in the region according to the received wifi account number and password, and realizes the network connection with the background server 2;

[0092] The sho...

Abstract

The invention discloses an unmanned supermarket shelf monitoring system and monitoring methods thereof. The method comprises the steps that after a camera device is powered on, the camera device carries out a preset photographing program, photographs a picture and uploads the photographed picture to a background server which is in communication connection with the camera device; the background server stores the picture photographed by the camera device; the background server carries out picture identification on the stored newest picture, after it is identified that the number of goods on a shelf is smaller than the preset number, the background server sends replenishment prompt information to a management terminal which is in communication connection with the background server; after thecamera device checks that the picture is uploaded successfully, the camera device is powered off automatically; and an RTC alarm clock built in the camera device wakes up the camera device again everyother a preset standby time interval, and the unmanned supermarket shelf monitoring system repeats the steps of the method according to the above-mentioned sequence. According to the system and the method, shelf goods number monitoring with ultra-low power consumption is realized and a replenishment prompt function is realized. The system and the method have the advantages of low power consumption, accurate identification and convenient installation.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of automatic vending, more specifically, it relates to an unmanned supermarket shelf monitoring system and a control method thereof. Background technique [0002] With technological innovation and the continuous upgrading of people's consumption patterns, a variety of unmanned vending methods have gradually emerged in the market. For example, unmanned shelves refer to using a shelf, putting some food and drink, pasting a QR code, paying first and then shipping, all by self-consciousness, no one sells it themselves. This unmanned shelf is not the latest concept. Vending machines that have been around for a long time are often found in subway stations, offices, schools and other places. In fact, they are unmanned vending machines. Supermarkets without salespersons, also known as unmanned supermarkets. It is not the salesperson who is responsible for collecting money, but a safe or coin box. After the customer...
