  • Determination of a placement mode of an object in a multiplicity of storage areas
    Patent number: 10318898
    Abstract: Machine logic (for example, software) for determining a placement mode of at least one kind of objects in a multiplicity of storage areas are disclosed. A placement method includes the following operations: determining attraction factors of the multiplicity of storage areas, an attraction factor of each storage area indicating a capability that the storage area attracts attention of a customer; determining a spatial elasticity factor of the at least one kind of objects, a spatial elasticity factor of each kind of objects indicating an impact of a change of the storage areas where the kind of objects are placed on an attention degree of the kind of objects; and determining the placement mode of the objects in the multiplicity of storage areas, at least according to the attraction factors of the multiplicity of storage areas and the spatial elasticity factor of the at least one kind of objects.
