Detailed Description

The present application will be described in further detail with reference to the following drawings and examples. It is to be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the application and are not limiting of the application. It should be further noted that, for the convenience of description, only some of the structures related to the present application are shown in the drawings, not all of the structures.

The embodiment of the application provides a technical scheme for displaying distribution point locations, which can be applied to occasions such as restaurants, hotels and KTVs for carrying out article distribution by using robots. Taking a restaurant application scenario as an example, the ordering process can be roughly divided into the following steps: (1) and (6) ordering food. The customer orders through the two-dimensional code and the like to generate order information. (2) And (5) preparing a meal product. Different dishes such as a pan bottom, meat dishes and vegetable dishes may exist in the same order, and different dishes may be made in different areas, so that different dishes in the same order can be made in a separated manner as required, a ticket to be processed in the area is printed by a printer in the making area corresponding to each type of dish, and the ticket includes information on the dishes and information on the table number. (3) And (5) taking the meal. After the kitchen staff finish the meal making, the meal and the corresponding receipt are put into the meal outlet. And the waiter judges whether the meal is delivered by the robot or the waiter according to the table number information in the receipt, if the meal is delivered by the robot, the meal is put into the robot, a corresponding table number is clicked on a human-computer interaction interface (such as a display screen) of the robot, and the robot completes the delivery.

For example, fig. 1 is a schematic diagram illustrating a display effect of a distribution point location in the prior art, as shown in fig. 1, in the prior art, a human-computer interface of a robot generally displays information (such as a table number) of all distribution point locations in sequence from small to large according to numbers. However, in general, for a certain outlet, the efficiency of distribution by a robot is high at a position far from the outlet, and therefore the frequency of distribution by a robot is also high. And the distance from the object outlet is closer, so that the robot is lower in distribution efficiency at the moment, the processes of placing dishes and selecting table numbers are not needed in manual distribution, and the distribution is faster, so that the distribution frequency by using the robot is lower. In the using process, on one hand, the information of all the distribution point locations is displayed on the human-computer interaction interface, on the other hand, the number of the relatively far distribution point locations is usually large, and the display screen resources are limited, so that a user (such as a dish deliverer) needs to spend a long time to find a target distribution point location (such as a table number in a receipt) and complete the selection of the target distribution point location, and the problems of low operation efficiency and poor user experience exist in the prior art.

The main ideas of the technical scheme are as follows: based on the technical problems in the prior art, the distribution point location display scheme provided by the embodiment of the application arranges the distribution point locations in the robot work area according to the distribution point location display principle related to the distribution distance, the robot use frequency and the like according to the characteristics of the robot for distributing the articles, and displays the distribution point locations on the human-computer interaction interface according to the arrangement result. With this delivery point location display scheme, on the one hand, it is possible to guide the user's operation, i.e., to guide whether or not to perform article delivery by the robot (for example, if a target delivery point location to be selected by the user is displayed at a position in front of the screen, it is possible to determine that the efficiency of the robot delivery at that position is high, and therefore, delivery is performed by the robot, and if a target delivery point location to be selected by the user is displayed at a position behind the screen or is not displayed on the screen, it is possible to determine that the efficiency of the robot delivery at that position is low, and therefore, delivery is performed without the robot). On the other hand, the probability that the target distribution point suitable for being distributed by the robot is found at one moment is higher, so that a user can find the target distribution point conveniently, and the operation efficiency of selecting the target distribution point by the user is improved.

Example one

Fig. 2 is a schematic flow chart of a dispensing point location display method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, where the method according to this embodiment may be executed by the dispensing point location display device according to the embodiment of the present disclosure, and the device may be implemented by software and/or hardware, and may be integrated in a robot. As shown in fig. 2, the dispensing point location display method of the present embodiment includes:

s101, based on the distribution point location display principle, the distribution point locations in the robot work area are sequenced.

In this step, in order to ensure that the distribution points with high distribution efficiency of the robot can be preferentially displayed, the distribution points in the robot work area are sorted according to a preset distribution point display principle.

The distribution point locations in the robot work area may be, for example, all tables in a restaurant where the robot is located or all rooms in a hotel where the robot is located, according to the difference of the robot work scenes.

According to the distribution characteristics of the robot, the distribution efficiency of the robot is closely related to the distance between the distribution point and the object outlet to be taken and the frequency of the robot used by the distribution point, the distribution point is far away from the object outlet to be taken and the frequency of the robot used by the distribution point, and the efficiency of distributing the objects by the robot is high. Therefore, in this embodiment, the distribution point location display rule includes a remote priority display rule and/or a high-frequency priority display rule. Correspondingly, in the step, the distribution point locations in the robot work area can be sorted according to a remote priority display principle and/or a high-frequency priority display principle.

In one possible embodiment, in this step, the distribution points in the robot work area are sorted based on the remote priority display principle.

Specifically, after the object outlet to be taken is determined, the distribution point locations in the robot working area are sorted according to the distance from far to near by obtaining the distance between each distribution point location in the robot working area and the object outlet to be taken and according to the size of the distance value corresponding to each distribution point location.

The object outlet to be taken is an object outlet at which the object to be taken is located, and when a plurality of object outlets are arranged in the working area of the robot, the object outlet to be taken can be any object outlet. The object outlet to be taken may be determined according to the selection operation of the user on the human-computer interaction interface of the robot (such as the selected object outlet or the selected object type), or may be determined by the calling device in the object outlet to be taken through the calling information sent to the robot, or the current positioning information of the robot and the position information of each object outlet, which is not limited herein.

It can be understood that, in this embodiment, the robot stores a map of its working area, the map includes location information of each delivery point and each exit, such as longitude and latitude coordinates, the distance between each exit and each delivery point can be calculated in advance, and the corresponding relationship among the exit, the delivery point, and the distance is generated and stored in the form of a data table.

For example, assuming that there are 2 discharge ports, respectively denoted as discharge port a and discharge port B, and 20 distribution points, respectively denoted as 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, … …, and 120 in the robot work area, the distance data of each distribution point corresponding to the discharge port is obtained by respectively calculating the distances between the discharge port a and the discharge port B and the 20 distribution points, and the correspondence among the discharge port, the distribution points, and the distances obtained by the calculation can be shown in table 1.

Accordingly, in this embodiment, when the object outlet to be taken is determined, the data associated with the object outlet to be taken may be directly obtained from the data table, for example, when the object outlet to be taken is the object outlet a, the data in the column where the object outlet a is located in table 1 is obtained, and based on the column data, the distribution points are sorted to obtain the sorting result.

TABLE 1

	Distance (m) from the outlet A	Distance (m) from outlet (B)
			Distribution point 101	——	——
Distribution point 102	——	——
			Distribution point 103	——	——
Distribution point 104	——	——
			Distribution point 105	——	——
……	——	——
			Distribution point 120	——	——

In the present embodiment, the farther the distribution point from the article discharge opening is, the larger the distance value is, and the earlier the position in the sorting result is in the sorting, and the efficiency of robot distribution is higher for the distribution points with the longer distance than for manual distribution. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the distribution points far from the object outlet to be taken can be preferentially displayed by the remote preferential display principle, that is, the distribution points with high distribution efficiency using the robot can be preferentially displayed, so that the distribution points can be seen by the user at a glance, thereby playing a role of guidance for the user and improving the selection operation efficiency of the user.

In another possible embodiment, in this step, the distribution points in the robot work area are sorted based on the high-frequency priority display principle.

Specifically, the frequency of article distribution by using the robot at each distribution point in the robot work area is obtained, and the distribution points in the robot work area are sorted according to the frequency value corresponding to each distribution point from high to low.

In this embodiment, a dedicated delivery data summarization device may be configured for a robot delivery scene, each robot for article delivery may communicate with the delivery data summarization device and perform data interaction, illustratively, a robot control program is developed in advance, so that each time the robot completes article delivery, a delivery completion message is sent to the delivery data summarization device, and the delivery completion message may include delivery point location information, article category information, delivery time consumption information, and the like of this article delivery, so that the delivery data summarization device summarizes and counts corresponding data. In addition, the data can be collected and stored through the cloud server.

For example, each time a delivery completion message is received, the delivery data summarization device accumulates the number of times (i.e., frequency) that the robot delivers the corresponding delivery point location according to the delivery point location information in the delivery completion message, and finally obtains the correspondence between the delivery point location and the robot use frequency (frequency of article delivery using the robot). For example, the correspondence between the distribution point locations and the robot use frequency may be as shown in table 2.

TABLE 2

	Frequency of robot
		Distribution point
101	——
		Distribution point 102	——
Distribution point 103	——
		Distribution point 104	——
Distribution point 105	——
		……	——
Distribution point 120	——

Accordingly, in this embodiment, the robot use frequency data of each distribution point location may be directly acquired from the distribution data summarizing device, and the distribution point locations are sorted based on the acquired robot use frequency data to obtain a sorting result.

Optionally, in this embodiment, in order to improve the usability and the scene adaptability of the sorting result, the delivery data of the robot may be periodically counted in the delivery data summarizing device according to a preset period (for example, a period of one month), so as to obtain summarized data.

In the present embodiment, the frequency value is larger at distribution points where the robot distributes articles more frequently, and the positions in the sorting result are positioned earlier in the sorting. Therefore, in the embodiment, the distribution point locations with high use frequency of the robot are preferentially displayed by the high-frequency priority display principle, so that the purpose of preferentially displaying the distribution point locations with frequent article distribution by using the robot is achieved, the distribution point locations can be seen by a user at a glance, the distribution efficiency of the robot used by the user is high, the probability that the point locations to be distributed, which are required to be selected by the user, appear at the front position is high, the guidance effect on the user is achieved, and the selection operation efficiency of the user is improved.

In yet another possible embodiment, in this step, the distribution sites in the robot work area are sorted based on the long-distance priority display principle and the high-frequency priority display principle.

Specifically, after the object outlet to be taken is determined, the distance between each distribution point location in the robot work area and the object outlet to be taken is obtained, the distribution point locations in the robot work area are partitioned and primarily sorted in the partition according to the sequence of the distance from far to near and preset partition conditions, and then the distribution point locations in each partition are sorted and updated according to the frequency of article distribution of each distribution point location by using the robot and the sequence of the frequency from high to low.

In this embodiment, a concept of a partition is introduced to facilitate display of the delivery point location. The preset partition condition may specifically include a preset partition distance threshold. For example, after the distances between the distribution points and the object outlet in the robot work area are obtained, the distribution points are sorted according to the distance values of the distribution points in the descending order, and then under the condition that the order is not changed, the distribution points are partitioned in a segmented manner according to the relation between the distance values of the distribution points and the preset partition distance threshold, so that the partition of the distribution points in the robot work area and the primary sorting in the area are completed. The distribution point locations can be classified and partitioned according to the relationship between the distance value of each distribution point location and the preset partition distance threshold, and then the distribution point locations in the partitions are sorted according to the distance value of each distribution point location in the partitions from large to small, so that the partitions of the distribution point locations in the robot work area and the primary sorting in the partitions are completed. By setting the partitions, limited display resources are saved conveniently, the display resources are fully utilized to clearly display the point location to be distributed in each partition, and therefore a user can find the target point location to be distributed more quickly. In the actual use process, the partition with the overall high distribution efficiency of the robot can be displayed by default. For example, when the preset partition condition specifically includes a preset partition distance threshold, the human-computer interaction interface may display the point location to be allocated in the remote area by default.

Although, the use requirement in most scenes can be met through the primary sorting. However, due to other factors in the actual scene, such as the width of the aisle, the obstacle situation, etc., it may be appropriate to obtain not all the distribution points far from the object outlet to be taken for distribution by the robot. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the frequency of article delivery by using the robot at each delivery point is obtained on the basis of the initial ranking of the delivery points in each partition, and the delivery points in each partition are ranked and updated in the order from high to low in frequency, so as to obtain a ranking result that better meets the use habit of the user on the basis of reflecting the delivery efficiency.

It is understood that, in the present embodiment, the number of partitions may be determined according to an actual environment condition and a preset partition condition, and is not limited herein.

Taking the example that the preset partition condition includes the preset distance threshold, if the number of distribution point locations in the robot work area is small, only one preset partition distance threshold needs to be set, and the distribution point locations in the robot work area are divided into a far partition and a near partition. Specifically, the distribution point locations with the distance from the object outlet to be taken being greater than or equal to the preset partition distance threshold are divided into the far partition, and the distribution point locations with the distance from the object outlet to be taken being less than the preset partition distance threshold are divided into the near partition. For example, fig. 3 is a schematic view of a partition of a distribution point according to an embodiment of the present application.

For another example, if there are many distribution point locations in the robot work area, n preset partition distance thresholds need to be set, the distribution point locations in the robot work area are partitioned into n +1 partitions, assuming that 3 preset partition distance thresholds are set in a certain scene, and are respectively marked as a first preset partition distance threshold, a second preset partition distance threshold, and a third preset partition distance threshold, the distribution point locations in the robot work area are partitioned into 4 partitions, which are respectively marked as a first partition, a second partition, a third partition, and a fourth partition, specifically, the distribution point locations whose distance from the to-be-taken outlet is greater than or equal to the first preset partition distance threshold are partitioned into the first partition, the distribution point locations whose distance from the to-be-taken outlet is greater than or equal to the second preset partition distance threshold and less than the first preset partition distance threshold are partitioned into the second partition, and dividing the distribution point position, the distance between which and the object outlet to be taken is greater than or equal to a third preset partition distance threshold value and less than a second preset partition distance threshold value, into a third partition, and dividing the distribution point position, the distance between which and the object outlet to be taken is less than the third preset partition distance threshold value, into a fourth partition.

In the embodiment, the distribution point locations in the robot working area are sorted according to the remote preferential display principle and the high-frequency preferential display principle, so that the distribution point locations which are far away from the object outlet to be taken and have higher use frequency of the robot are closer to the front of the position of the sorting result, the purpose that the distribution point locations which are more efficient to use the robot and are more frequent to use the robot can be preferentially displayed is achieved, the distribution point locations can be seen by a user at a glance, the guidance effect on the user is achieved, and the selection operation efficiency of the user is improved.

Optionally, in this embodiment, for a scene where the robot is used for the first time to perform delivery, the first implementation may be used to sort the delivery points in the robot work area to obtain a sorting result, and for a scene where the robot is used to perform article delivery for a period of time, the second implementation or the third implementation may be used to sort the delivery points in the machine work area to obtain a sorting result, so that the obtained display result may better reflect the use habits of the user, and improve the use experience of the user.

And S102, carrying out distribution point location display according to the sequencing result through a human-computer interaction interface.

In this step, according to the sorting result obtained in S101, the distribution points in the robot work area are displayed through the human-computer interaction interface of the robot, for example, the distribution points with the top sorting are preferentially displayed, and/or the distribution points that do not satisfy the set conditions are hidden, so that the distribution points that are useful for the user are displayed as much as possible in the limited display interface, and the significance of guidance and convenient operation of the display content for the user is exerted.

The human-computer interaction interface refers to an operation interface for interaction with a user on the robot, and the human-computer interaction interface may include a display screen (a touch display screen or a common display screen), a button, and the like.

The setting condition refers to a condition that a preset limited delivery point position can be displayed on a display interface, and for example, the setting condition may be: the distance from the object outlet to be taken is not less than a set distance threshold value, and/or the use frequency of the robot is not less than a set frequency threshold value.

For a scene with more distribution points, the human-computer interaction interface generally needs to display all the distribution points through multiple pages, in this embodiment, the distribution points with the front sequence are preferentially displayed, so that the distribution using the robot is more efficient, and/or the distribution points which are more frequently distributed using the robot are displayed on a home page, so that a user can see the distribution points at a glance. And by hiding the distribution point locations which do not meet the set conditions, such as hiding the distribution point locations of which the distance from the object outlet to be taken is less than the set distance threshold and/or hiding the distribution point locations of which the use frequency of the robot is less than the set frequency threshold, even if the man-machine interaction interface only displays the distribution point locations which are useful for the user in the process of carrying out distribution point location selection operation by the user, the high-efficiency utilization of display screen resources is realized.

Exemplarily, fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of a delivery point location display effect provided by an embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 4, the display of the delivery point locations in the human-computer interaction interface can be optimized by the technical solution of the embodiment of the present application, the display sequence of the delivery point locations is irrelevant to the number of the delivery point locations, and is determined by the frequency of the delivery points using the robot to deliver the articles and/or the distance between the delivery point locations and the outlet of the article to be taken, so that the scenario requirement of the robot to deliver the articles can be better satisfied, and the use dependency of the product by the user is enhanced.

Alternatively, the setting condition is that the number of times of use is not 0 among N consecutive deliveries (N is a positive integer greater than or equal to 2, and N may be set according to actual circumstances). If some distribution points are continuously distributed for N times and are not used, the distribution points are automatically hidden in the human-computer interaction interface, and therefore the display result of the whole human-computer interaction interface is ensured to be more in line with the habit of a user.

Preferably, N corresponds to the number of dispensing points. For example, if a restaurant has 20 tables, if a table is not used in the last 20 robot dispatches, the table is automatically hidden in the uncommon page. This is because in a restaurant application scenario, the usage rate of some locations is low, for example, the locations toward the left, or the large table with more than 8 people, and the usage rate of some locations is high, for example, the card seats. Therefore, when the table is not used in the distribution corresponding to the total number of times, the table utilization rate is low, and the arrangement is more suitable for the application scene of a restaurant and is more scientific and reasonable.

Optionally, in this embodiment, a hidden distribution point display button may be disposed on the human-computer interaction interface, and after clicking, the page displays those hidden distribution points (i.e., uncommon distribution points). Distribution points in the uncommon distribution points can be removed from the uncommon distribution points once clicked for use.

Optionally, in this embodiment, a partition switching button between different partitions may be further disposed on the human-computer interaction interface, for example, tags of a "far zone" and a "near zone" are respectively disposed on the human-computer interaction interface, when the "far zone" is clicked, a distribution point location in the far zone is displayed on the human-computer interaction interface, and when the "near zone" is clicked, a distribution point location in the near zone is displayed on the human-computer interaction interface.

Optionally, in this embodiment, the man-machine interface displays the distribution point locations in different partitions in a partitioned manner, the different partitions may be switched by partition switching buttons, the distribution point locations which do not meet the conditions may be hidden inside the different partitions, and accordingly, on the display pages of the different partitions, a hidden distribution point location display button may be set to display the distribution point locations hidden in the partitions.

In this embodiment, the distribution point locations in the robot work area are sorted based on a distribution point location display principle, where the distribution point location display principle at least includes one of a remote priority display principle and a high-frequency priority display principle, and the distribution point locations are displayed according to a sorting result through a human-computer interaction interface. The robot is used in the robot working area to preferentially display the distribution points with more frequent and/or more efficient distribution of articles, and the distribution points can be seen by a user at a glance, so that the user can quickly determine whether the distribution points to be distributed are suitable for being distributed by the robot, and can quickly select the distribution points to be distributed when the user determines that the distribution points to be distributed are suitable for being distributed by the robot, the time spent by the user for selecting operation is saved, and the selection operation efficiency of the user is improved.

Example two

Fig. 5 is a schematic flow chart of a dispensing point location display method according to a second embodiment of the present disclosure, where the method according to this embodiment may be executed by the dispensing point location display device according to the second embodiment of the present disclosure, and the device may be implemented by software and/or hardware, and may be integrated in a robot. As shown in fig. 5, the dispensing point location display method of the present embodiment includes:

s201, responding to a calling instruction of the object outlet to be taken, and acquiring a delivery point position which is ordered and to be distributed and corresponds to the object outlet to be taken.

In order to further save the time required by the user for selecting operation and improve the efficiency of the user for selecting the distribution points, on the basis of the first embodiment and the second embodiment, in the embodiment, before the distribution points are sorted, the distribution points which are ordered and are to be distributed are screened out, the points which are not ordered and the points which are ordered and are to be distributed are not required to be displayed, the number of the distribution points which are required to be displayed is reduced, the point display is conveniently and clearly performed by using limited display resources, the distribution points are sorted, the display optimization of the distribution points is realized, and the user can conveniently and quickly find the target points to be distributed.

In this step, when the robot receives a call instruction of the object outlet to be taken, for example, the ordered delivery point location corresponding to the object outlet to be taken and to be delivered may be obtained from the delivery data summarizing device or the cloud server.

In this embodiment, the distribution data summarization device may count distribution point information, article information (name, quantity, etc.), and distribution information of the articles (whether distributed, distributed quantity, distribution time, etc.) in the order information received by each outlet in the robot working environment during the process of distributing the articles by the robot. Correspondingly, in this step, under the condition that the object outlet to be taken is determined, the robot may send the data acquisition information of the ordered object outlet to be taken and the point location to be allocated to the distribution data summarizing device, so that the distribution data summarizing device screens out corresponding data and feeds the data back to the robot.

S202, based on the distribution point location display principle, ordering the distribution point locations which are ordered and to be distributed and correspond to the object outlet.

In this step, similarly, at least one of a remote priority display principle and a high-frequency priority display principle may be adopted to sort the ordered distribution points corresponding to the object outlet to be taken, and obtain a sorting result, and the specific implementation manner is similar to that in S101, and is not described herein again.

EXAMPLE III

Fig. 6 is a schematic flow chart of a delivery point location display method according to a third embodiment of the present application, and as shown in fig. 6, on the basis of the first and second embodiments, the delivery point location display method according to the present embodiment further includes:

s301, obtaining distribution time length data of the distribution points for distributing the articles by using the robot.

In this embodiment, to further improve the operation experience and the use satisfaction of the user, based on the robot delivery data summarized by the delivery data summarizing device or the cloud server, when the user performs the operation of selecting the delivery point location on the human-computer interaction interface, a prompt message related to the delivery point location is displayed, so that the user can grasp the risk or the problem that may exist in the delivery using the robot in advance, and the purposes of risk prediction and prompting the user to select with caution are achieved.

In this embodiment, the distribution data summarization device may record the distribution time length of the distribution points where the robots are used to distribute the articles during the process of distributing the articles by the robots, and summarize the distribution time length periodically, for example, once every month or every week, so as to obtain the distribution time length data that can reflect the condition that the robots are used by the distribution points recently to distribute the articles.

Correspondingly, in this step, the robot may send a delivery duration data obtaining request to the delivery data summarizing device as needed to obtain the delivery duration data of each delivery point location, or the delivery data summarizing device may actively send the delivery duration data of each delivery point location to the robot when summarizing and updating the delivery duration data is completed.

The distribution time data may include distribution time (e.g., 1 minute, 5 minutes, etc.), distribution time number (e.g., several times of 1 minute, several times of 5 minutes, etc., for a user), distribution time maximum value, distribution time minimum value, distribution time average value, and the like.

S302, when the user selects the target distribution point location on the man-machine interaction interface, responding to a selection instruction of the user, and selectively displaying prompt information according to distribution duration data of the target distribution point location.

In this step, after S301, when the user selects the target distribution point location through the touch display screen or the key on the human-computer interaction interface, in response to a selection instruction of the user, the robot selectively generates and displays the prompt information by using a preset prompt information generation rule based on the distribution duration data of the target distribution point location.

The target distribution point location refers to a distribution point location selected by a user, namely one or more destinations where the robot selected by the user performs article distribution at this time.

In a possible implementation manner, according to the distribution time length data of the target distribution point, a maximum time length difference value of the target distribution point distributed by using a robot is determined, if the maximum time length difference value is greater than a preset time length difference value, first prompt information is displayed on a human-computer interaction interface, and the first prompt information is used for prompting a user that the distribution time length of the current distribution point is unstable.

The maximum time length difference refers to a maximum value obtained by performing difference operation on each distribution time length, namely a difference between the maximum distribution time length and the minimum distribution time length.

The preset time difference can be set in advance according to the distance between the target distribution point location and the object outlet to be taken, the obstacles and the like, and the associated preset time difference can be different for different target distribution point locations.

For the convenience of distinction, in this embodiment, the prompt message displayed in the scene is called a first prompt message, and the content of the first prompt message may be set according to actual situations, for example, "the point location distribution time length is unstable, please confirm whether to use the robot for distribution", "the point location has a risk of unstable distribution time length, please carefully select", and the like.

In the embodiment, the distribution time length difference value is used for reflecting the fluctuation condition of the distribution time length, when the distribution time length fluctuation of the target distribution point location is large, the user can be prompted by adopting the first prompt information, and the user can be helped to distribute by a dish deliverer according to the actual condition if the dish deliverer is idle, so that the risk that the robot distribution time length is unstable is avoided, the integral maximization of the distribution efficiency is realized, and the customer experience is improved.

In another possible implementation manner, a target time period in which the delivery duration is greater than the delivery duration threshold is determined according to delivery duration data of the target delivery point, and if the current time belongs to the target time period, second prompt information is displayed on the human-computer interaction interface and used for prompting a user that the delivery overtime risk exists at the current time.

For example, in the case of a distribution scene in an office building or the like, since it takes a long time for the robot to take an elevator in the early, middle, and late off-duty periods, the time period for distributing the articles in these periods may be longer than other periods, and the required distribution time periods may also be different for distribution points located on different floors in the same period.

In this embodiment, a distribution time threshold may be set for each distribution point according to experience, and a time period in which the distribution time of each distribution point is greater than the distribution time threshold is screened out according to the distribution time threshold of each distribution point and the obtained distribution time data, so as to obtain the target time period data of each distribution point. Correspondingly, when the user selects the target distribution point, whether the current time belongs to the target time period or not is determined according to the current time and the target time period data of the target distribution point, and if the current time belongs to the target time period, the overtime risk is possibly existed when the robot is used for carrying out article distribution at the current time.

For convenience of distinction, in this embodiment, the prompt message displayed in the scene is called a second prompt message, and the content of the second prompt message may also be set according to actual situations, such as "the point location may be currently congested, please confirm whether to be delivered by using the robot", "the point location has a risk of timeout in the current period, please notify the client in advance", and the like.

In the embodiment, the second prompt message is adopted to prompt the user, so that the user can be timely prompted that overtime risks possibly exist in the delivery, the delivery time is changed for the user, or risk prompt is timely performed on the client (article receiver), the client complaints are reduced, and the service quality is improved.

In the embodiment, the delivery time length data of the object delivery carried out by the robot at each delivery point location is obtained, when the user selects the target delivery point location on the man-machine interaction interface, the selection instruction of the user is responded, and the prompt information is displayed according to the delivery time length data of the target delivery point location, so that more humanized service can be provided for the user, and the whole delivery efficiency and the service quality of the working scene of the robot are improved.
