Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of interaction between a server and a user terminal according to an embodiment of the present application, where the schematic diagram includes the following interaction devices: a server 100 and a user terminal 200. The server 100 is communicatively connected to one or more (only one shown) user terminals 200 through a wired network or a wireless network for data communication or interaction.

The server 100 may be disposed on an electronic device with a logic calculation function, such as a personal computer, a tablet computer, a smart phone, and a personal digital assistant, and is configured to obtain user coordinate data of the user terminal 200 and target coordinate data of a target material in a warehouse where the user terminal is located, calculate a target path according to an established target warehouse model, and send visual virtual prompt information generated according to the target path to the user terminal 200.

Referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a schematic flow chart of a material information prompting method according to an embodiment of the present application, including the following steps.

And step S1, superposing the virtual warehouse geographic model of the warehouse with the real warehouse data to obtain a target warehouse model.

Optionally, before step S1, the method further comprises: acquiring three-dimensional data of the warehouse; and establishing the virtual warehouse geographic model according to the three-dimensional data.

It is worth to be noted that before the virtual-real superposition, the real environment of the warehouse can be three-dimensionally modeled, and the three-dimensional data of the warehouse can be obtained by obtaining the three-dimensional building data of the measured warehouse or by searching the historical building data of the warehouse. Illustratively, the three-dimensional data may include area data, structural data, frame data, and the like of a warehouse. And correspondingly modeling the real warehouse environment according to the acquired three-dimensional data so as to realize the superposition of the virtual warehouse geographic model and the real warehouse data, thereby effectively increasing the accuracy of virtual-real superposition.

And step S2, acquiring the user coordinate data of the user terminal and the target coordinate data of the target material based on the target warehouse model.

The user terminal has a positioning function, and on the basis of the target warehouse model after the virtual-real superposition, user target data after the user terminal positions the user terminal and target coordinate data of the determined target material are obtained.

It is to be noted that, when acquiring the user coordinate data of the user terminal, three-dimensional model data of the user, for example, cylinder data having a height of 1.6 m and a radius of 0.5 m, may be set in devices such as AR glasses, MR glasses, and the like. The users for sorting can be the staff of the warehouse, and also can be the robots and the like for sorting, and the user coordinate data of different users can be obtained according to the three-dimensional model data of different users, so that the accuracy of the user coordinate can be effectively improved. When the target coordinate data of the target material is acquired, in the target warehouse model after virtual-real superposition, the coordinates are acquired according to the real position of the real environment where the target material is located, so that the acquisition time of the position information can be shortened, the position of the material can be changed frequently, and the position information can be acquired quickly when a user needs to be familiar with the position of the material again.

Optionally, before step S2, the method further comprises the following steps.

And step Sa1, acquiring a material information base of the warehouse.

The material information base comprises material information of each material stored in the warehouse.

It should be noted that after the warehouse stores the materials, the label information of each material may be obtained, the label information may be identification data such as a bar code and a two-dimensional code, and the material information included in the label information may be obtained by identifying the label information in an identification manner such as scanning. Illustratively, the material information may include: name information of the material, such as codes, numbers and the like, position information of the material, such as shelf numbers, item numbers, material frame numbers and the like, type information, three-dimensional information, time information and the like of the material and material-related information. The server acquires the material information of the materials according to the label information, integrates all the material information in the warehouse into a material information base, and can realize real-time updating of the material information base by scanning the label information when the materials are put in and taken out of the warehouse.

Step Sa2, selecting from the material information base according to the obtained sorting requirement of the user terminal, and determining a target list, wherein the target list includes one or more target materials.

Optionally, the user terminal may determine the picking requirement of the picking job according to the selection of the user.

For example, the culling requirement may be to cull a certain type of material, for example, to cull a commodity type of material. The sorting requirement can also be the sorting of materials with certain time information, for example, the sorting of materials with warehousing time of a certain day in a certain month in a certain year. The picking requirement can also be a material with certain place information, for example, a plurality of picking requirements such as picking materials with goods receiving addresses of Beijing, and the user can correspondingly select the materials according to the working requirement and the actual working condition of the user.

The server obtains the sorting requirements determined in the user terminal, and screens out a target list meeting the sorting requirements according to the sorting requirements. The target list comprises material information of one or more materials which meet the sorting requirement and need to be sorted, the one or more target materials meeting the sorting requirement are obtained, the information of the target materials which need to be sorted can be rapidly determined in all materials in the warehouse, the screening time is saved, and the screening efficiency is improved.

After the execution of step S2, the execution of step S3 is continued.

Step S3, a target path between the user coordinate data and the target coordinate data is calculated.

After the user coordinate data of the user terminal and the target coordinate data of the target material are obtained, a point where the user coordinate data is located is used as a starting coordinate, a point where the target coordinate data is located is used as an end coordinate, and a barrier-free target path with the shortest distance is calculated.

After the execution of step S3, the execution of step S4 is continued.

Step S4, generating visual virtual prompt information according to the target path, so that the user terminal displays the virtual prompt information.

And processing the obtained target path to generate visual virtual prompt information for prompting. Illustratively, the virtual reminder information may be a variety of display information displayed in the user terminal such as AR glasses.

After the server generates the virtual prompt information, the server can send the virtual prompt information to the user terminal through a wired or wireless network, and the user terminal can select to modify, store, report errors and other related operations on the virtual prompt information after receiving and checking the virtual prompt information.

Optionally, after step S4, the method further comprises the following steps.

And step Sb1, recording the state information of the target material when the target material is sorted based on the virtual prompt information.

Alternatively, the status information of the items may include picking time information when the items are picked, such as time information from the prompt to the completion of the picking, and the like. Because the time difference when different materials are picked is great, there is not comparatively accurate time in order to arrange the scheduling plan, therefore there is the difference in the work load that different staff worked. Through the record to the time of picking, can be through the long time of picking of record every article material, calculate the average value and be used for the user to know the time of picking of every article material, realize the reasonable arrangement to picking, obtain reasonable scheduling plan.

Optionally, the status information of the items may also include current information of the target item, such as current real-time information of various items that have been picked, are about to be ex-warehouse, are about to be transferred, and so on.

And step Sb2, updating the material information base according to the state information, or updating the target list according to the state information. For example, the sorted materials can be subjected to various operations such as ex-warehouse and transfer, the user terminal can scan the label information of the materials, perform ex-warehouse and transfer processing and recording, and the server receives relevant data of ex-warehouse.

It should be noted that, the server updates the material information base or the target list according to the state information of the target material, for example, when the state information of the target material is the delivery status, the material information of the target material is transferred to the delivered material information base in the material information base, or the target material is removed from the target list, the picked list is added, and the like, so that the data can be updated in real time, and the real-time performance and accuracy of the data of the material information base and the target list are ensured.

In the embodiment shown in fig. 2, by calculating the path information, the corresponding virtual prompt information can be generated, so that the user terminal can display the virtual prompt information to prompt the staff for the material information, and guide the staff to perform operations such as sorting on the material, thereby effectively improving the efficiency and accuracy of the operations such as sorting, and being suitable for various different types of warehouse scenes.

Referring to FIG. 3, the step S3 in the present embodiment may include steps S31-S33.

Step S31, obstacle data in the target warehouse model is calculated.

It is worth noting that due to the presence of one or more different sizes, types, levels of shelves and other obstructions in the warehouse, these obstructions become obstacles in the path as the path is planned. When obstacle data is calculated, coordinates of an obstacle can be determined according to a target warehouse model, for example, textures of the obstacle are obtained from the target warehouse model, vertex coordinates composed of triangular surfaces are contained in the textures, each vertex coordinate contains three-dimensional coordinate data, the obstacle can be set to be a height larger than 0.1 meter and a height smaller than 0.1 meter, the obstacle data of a plurality of obstacles in the warehouse can be calculated.

Step S32, based on the obstacle data, calculating shortest path information between the target coordinate data of each target material and the user coordinate data.

When a plurality of target materials exist, the target coordinate data of each target material can be acquired simultaneously, and on the basis of the calculated obstacle data, the user coordinate data and each target coordinate data are simultaneously integrated to calculate the path information, so that the shortest path information between each target material and the position of the user terminal is obtained and serves as the shortest path information.

And step S33, taking the shortest path in the shortest path information of the target materials as the target path.

And comparing the calculated multiple pieces of shortest path information, and taking the shortest path information with the shortest path as a target path. And taking the target material corresponding to the target path as an object which needs to be sorted by a user.

It should be noted that when the picking task is complex, the user does not know which material to pick from, and the user relies on experience to determine, when there are multiple target materials to be picked, after determining the shortest target path and the corresponding target material, the user can continue to obtain the user coordinate data and the target coordinate data of each target material at the current location of the user terminal after picking the target material, and then calculate and compare the path information to obtain the shortest target path and the corresponding target material. Repeating above-mentioned step, all being sorted until a plurality of target materials and finishing, can carrying out reasonable planning and sequencing to a plurality of tasks of choosing materials, reducing the time of turning back, be applicable to new staff or the staff unfamiliar with to the warehouse environment, make the staff familiar with warehouse environment and material position fast, guide the staff and independently accomplish the task according to the flow, need not the experience, reduce master-slave training time of taking a management, increase the efficiency of hands.

In the embodiment shown in fig. 3, when a worker sorts a plurality of target materials, the shortest path information in the plurality of target materials can be calculated, so that when a plurality of target materials exist, the nearest material information of the target materials is guided, an optimal sorting path is planned, and the working efficiency of the worker is improved.

Referring to FIG. 4, the step S1 in the present embodiment may include steps S11-S14.

Step S11, spatial location information of a plurality of shelves in the warehouse is acquired.

The obtained space position information of the shelf may include information of a material frame set on the shelf, coordinate information of the shelf, space information of the shelf, structural hierarchy information of the shelf, and type information of the shelf, such as height, width, number of layers information, and number of lattices of the material frame of the shelf, which are related to the shelf.

And step S12, acquiring a material model library of the warehouse.

The material information model of each material in the warehouse is stored in the material model library, and the material information model can include volume information of the material, three-dimensional information of the material, type information of the material, material frame information corresponding to the material information model and other information related to the material.

It is worth mentioning that after the materials are put in a warehouse, the material model can be established according to the label information of the materials. The label information comprises related information of the material, and also can comprise identification data corresponding to the material, such as a bar code, a two-dimensional code and the like, and the label information of the material can be acquired by identifying the data, so that the establishment of a material information model is realized.

And step S13, importing the virtual warehouse geographic model into the real warehouse data for virtual and real superposition.

It should be noted that, when performing virtual-real superposition, any point in the real warehouse may be selected as an origin of coordinates, set as an anchor point, a point at the same position in the virtual warehouse geographic model is set as an origin, and the virtual warehouse geographic model is imported into the real warehouse geographic model of the real warehouse data, so that the two origins are superposed and superposed. For example, in the selection of the anchor point, the azimuth vertex of the warehouse may be selected as the anchor point to increase the accuracy of the virtual-real superposition.

And step S14, on the basis of the virtual-real superposition, superposing each material information model with the corresponding spatial position information to obtain the target warehouse model.

After the geographic models are overlapped, each material information model and the corresponding shelf space position information are in one-to-one correspondence according to the placement condition of the materials on the shelves in the real warehouse data, each material information model is correspondingly placed in the correct material frame position on the corresponding shelf, and the effects of corresponding the material information models to the placement positions and overlapping virtual material simulation are achieved. The obtained material information model in the target warehouse model can coincide with the real placement condition of the materials in the warehouse, so that the accuracy of the material position is improved.

In the embodiment shown in fig. 4, virtual-real superposition is performed to correspondingly coincide the virtual material information model with the spatial location information in the warehouse, so as to obtain a target warehouse model with highly coincident geographic information and location information, which can improve the accuracy of data in the target warehouse model and improve the accuracy of path information calculation.

Referring to FIG. 5, the step S4 in the present embodiment may include steps S41-S44.

And step S41, rendering the target path to obtain rendering data.

The texture vertex coordinates are set according to the start point coordinates and the end point coordinates in the target path, and a rendering picture is input for rendering, for example, the rendering picture may be a picture of some obstacles in the target path, a related picture of the start point and the end point, and the like.

And step S42, generating the virtual navigation route according to the rendering data.

According to rendering data obtained by rendering, when a path contains a barrier, setting a path coordinate point 1 of an intersection, and so on, setting texture vertex coordinates according to a starting coordinate, middle path coordinates 1 to n and a terminal coordinate, and rendering to generate a visual virtual navigation route.

It should be noted that the virtual navigation route may include visual direction indication information, such as directional arrows, text descriptions, etc.; the distance information of the route, for example, the length of the straight line is ten meters, the length of the right line is five meters, and the like, may also be included, and the route display data, for example, the navigation information that the route that has not passed through is a green route, and the route that has passed through is a red route, and the like is visualized may also be included.

And step S43, acquiring target material information of the target material.

The method comprises the steps of obtaining target material information of a target material needing to be sorted corresponding to a target path, wherein the target material information can comprise shelf information of the target material, type information of the material, information of a material frame of the material and the like.

It should be noted that, after the target path and the corresponding target material are determined, the server may further send the tag information of the target material to the user terminal, so that the user terminal can correspondingly obtain the information of the target material.

And step S44, generating the material prompt information according to the target material information.

It is worth mentioning that the target materials need to be prompted under the conditions of larger shelves or smaller materials and the like so as to assist the user in picking the target materials on the basis of the virtual navigation route, and the time consumed by the user to find the target materials at the end point due to the larger shelves or the smaller materials is reduced. The material prompt information can be generated at the end point of the target path, namely around the target material, according to the target material information, the material prompt information comprises information such as shelf position information and state information of the target material, so that a user can check the material prompt information, the position of the target material on a shelf is quickly determined, the search time is shortened, information verification can be performed on the target material, and the occurrence of material sorting errors is reduced.

Illustratively, the target material information includes calculated volume information of the material, and the user can be prompted to select a proper envelope to package the material after sorting according to the volume information.

In the embodiment shown in fig. 5, two visual virtual prompt messages can prompt material information such as the storage position, the access path and the like of the material in the warehouse, effectively prompt work such as material picking and the like, and improve the efficiency and the accuracy of the work such as material picking and the like.
