Abstract

A food depositing system for the benefit of customers and food shops includes a first electronic device. The first electronic device includes a processor and programs stored in a memory. The processor causes the display of an interactive depositing interface during a food depositing operation, the deposited food items being input as deposited items. Identity and certain features of a depositing customer are also obtained during the depositing operation and an association is made accordingly and stored to await the customer's takeback of food deposited.

1. A food depositing system comprising:

a first electronic device comprising:

a first displayer;

a first memory that stores one or more first programs;

at least one first processor; and

the one or more first programs when executed by the at least one first processor, cause the at least one first processor to:

display an interactive depositing interface according to a depositing operation on the first displayer, the interactive depositing interface configured to input items deposited;

obtain an identity of a customer according to the depositing operation; and

associate and store the customer's identity and the deposited items;

transmit the deposited item and the identity to a second electronic device;

the second electronic device comprising:

a second displayer;

a second memory that stores one or more second programs;

at least one second processor; and

the one or more second programs when executed by the at least one second processor, cause the at least one second processor to:

display the deposited item and the identity in real time on the second displayer;

confirm the deposited item and the identity according to a confirmation operation and store the confirmed deposited item and the confirmed identity in the second memory; and

transmit the confirmed deposited item and the confirmed identity to the first electronic device;

wherein the at least one first processor is further caused to:

update corresponding deposited item already stored in the first memory according to the confirmed deposited item and the confirmed identity;

acquire the identity of a customer according to a takeback food operation of the customer;

identify whether the identity of the customer corresponding to the takeback food operation is consistent with the stored identity of a customer;

display the interactive depositing interface when the identity of the customer corresponding to the takeback food operation is consistent with the stored identity of a customer, wherein the interactive depositing interface comprises the deposited item corresponding to the identity of the customer, and the interactive depositing interface is for the customer to command a take-back of the food;

analyze the identity and determine features of the customer, the features comprising age and gender;

analyze a degree of compliance of the deposited item with the customer's features according to a predetermined rule, the predetermined rule comprising an equivalence between age of customer and number of calories of food which is available to be taken back; and

arrange foods of the deposited item which is available to be taken back on the first displayer according to the degree of compliance.

7. The food depositing system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one first processor is further caused to:

determine a food that the customer tends to purchase according to previously deposited item of the customer and a food stock of a shop; and

recommend the determined food and a food being promoted to the customer.

8. A food depositing system comprising:

a first electronic device comprising:

a first displayer;

a first memory that stores one or more first programs;

at least one first processor; and

the one or more first programs when executed by the at least one first processor, cause the at least one first processor to:

display an interactive depositing interface for inputting items deposited on the first displayer;

obtain an identity of a customer according to a depositing operation;

generate a relationship between the customer's identity and the deposited items; and

store the relationship in the first memory;

transmit information as to the deposited item and the identity to a second electronic device;
