Detailed Description

Exemplary embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which various details of embodiments of the invention are included to assist understanding, and which are to be considered as merely exemplary. Accordingly, those of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that various changes and modifications of the embodiments described herein can be made without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention. Also, descriptions of well-known functions and constructions are omitted in the following description for clarity and conciseness.

Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram illustrating a main flow of a method for determining a delivery address according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 1,

s101, acquiring external factors and order information corresponding to order placing time;

step S102, generating a prediction key value according to the external factor and the order information;

and step S103, determining a delivery address corresponding to the order according to the predicted key value and the storage mode of the database.

Wherein, the external factor includes: holidays, seasons, activity days, and/or general days.

Specifically, the holidays can include, but are not limited to: valentine's day, christmas, spring festival; the activity day may include: double 11, store day, sales promotion day, etc.; the seasons can be divided into spring, summer, autumn and winter.

In generating the predicted key value, one or more external factors may be included for generating the predicted key value.

Wherein, the order information includes but is not limited to one or more of the following: delivery time, whether to invoice, whether to use gift card, and the category of the goods placed this time.

The type of the database may be a non-relational database (NoSQL). The storage mode adopted in the database is key-value, namely, key-value storage mode. Specifically, the value in the present application is the address of the user. That is, a key is determined according to the external factor corresponding to the order and the order information, and the key is used for matching the address information corresponding to the key in the database.

Specifically, the key-value is stored using the storage pattern of NoSQL, as shown in table 1 below:

table 1 storage schema storage table of NoSQL

determining the value of the external factor and the order information of each address information corresponding to the order; however, since the external factor and the order information are factors affecting the predicted key value, the technical means for quantifying the external factor and the order information according to the historical data in the optional embodiment of the application can more accurately obtain the predicted key value.

The calculation mode of the external factor or the order information value of the order is as follows:

Specifically, the calculation mode of the prediction key value is as follows:

for each address n, the value of the external factor is a, the value of the distribution time is b, the value of whether to invoice is c, the value of whether to use the gift card is d, and the value of office supplies is e. By combining the external factors and the order information for the address n, the value of the prediction KEY value corresponding to the address n is KEY ═ a + b + c + d + e.

And for the address with the highest predicted KEY value in the predicted KEY values corresponding to the plurality of addresses, the predicted address calculated according to the order is the address with the highest predicted KEY value.

The following describes in detail a process of generating a predicted key value according to the external factor and the order information, and further generating a predicted address in a specific embodiment. As shown in the following table, the following,

first, certain combination conditions are obtained, including: the external factors are winter, the distribution time is Monday, whether invoicing is yes or not, whether gift cards are used or not and whether ordering commodity categories are office supplies or not;

then, the prediction KEY is generated according to the combination condition.

Specifically, for address1, the value of the prediction KEY is 5;

for address2, the value of the prediction KEY is 3.7;

for address3, the value of the prediction KEY is 1.4;

for address4, the value of the prediction KEY is 0.1;

for address 5, the value of the prediction KEY is 0.03.
