Intelligent express and dispensing terminal system based on cloud platform, and control method thereof

Abstract

The invention discloses an intelligent express and dispensing terminal system based on a cloud platform, and a control method thereof. The terminal system comprises the components of a cloud platform, a mobile phone application (APP) and an intelligent express cabinet. The cloud platform manages user information, package storing information and package delivering information in a unified manner through Internet, and furthermore performs controlling for opening and closing the door of the express cabinet. The mobile phone application and the intelligent express cabinet communicate with the cloud platform through Internet, thereby transmitting an instruction and receiving instruction and related information. The cloud platform comprises a database, a WEB server, and an unlocking / management / monitoring program. A realizing method comprises a method of realizing communication between the mater control board of the express cabinet and the cloud platform and opening or closing the locks of cabinet grids, a method of realizing combination of order state changing operation and express cabinet opening operation, and a method of operating the express cabinet through a plurality of ways. The intelligent express and dispensing terminal system based on a cloud platform have functions of realizing controlling for all operations on the intelligent express cabinet by the cloud platform, greatly reducing cost of the intelligent express cabinet and furthermore expanding the package delivering function of the express cabinet.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention is an intelligent express delivery (distribution) terminal system for a smart city based on Internet (Internet of Things) thinking. Controlling and managing the intelligent express cabinet through the cloud platform, processing the information of express companies, couriers, users and express items, and realizing the access of express items belong to the field of express logistics. Background technique [0002] At present, the couriers in the express delivery business deliver the express and retrieve the user's mail, which is basically manual operation, which is inefficient, time-consuming and laborious, and cannot meet people's requirements for an efficient life.

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0002] At present, the couriers in the express delivery business deliver the express and retrieve the user's mail, which is basically manual operation, which is inefficient, time-consuming and laborious, and cannot meet people's requirements for an efficient life.

[0003] When the courier delivers the courier, the courier usually calls the user one by one according to the package, and when to pick up the package, the courier is often waiting or the user is waiting, which is a great waste of time. Even sometimes the two parties do not interact within the agreed time period, and the express needs to be delivered twice

[0004] When the user sends a package, he usually calls the corresponding courier company or courier. After the notification, the user needs to wait or wait for the courier to pick up the package at an agreed time, which affects work efficiency; after the courier arrives, the user needs to manually fill in the courier form , the courier company also needs to enter the relevant information sent by the user into the computer, which leads to duplication of labor and is not environmentally friendly (the courier company needs to print the quadruple courier list)

[0005] In addition, the courier company has mastered the user's phone number and detailed address and other information in the delivery and retrieval business, and there is a potential risk of information leakage

Moreover, SMS sending, coin recognition and acceptance, advertisement playback, PIN pad, voice prompt, card reader and other functions are integrated into one. Although the functions are complete, the cost is too high, the installation is cumbersome, and the later maintenance work is heavy, which is not conducive to large-scale use.

[0006] At present, the smart express cabinets on the market can only operate in a queue one by one, which cannot meet the simultaneous access of multiple people, and cannot meet the needs of couriers and users during peak periods.

At present, smart express cabinets on the market generally require users to pick up goods with SMS verification codes. Operators cannot guarantee a 100% delivery rate of mobile phone text messages, and delivery failures occur from time to time.

Therefore, each express cabinet operating company has launched an APP, but the APP can only check the parcel, and cannot perform further operations on the express cabinet

Moreover, most express locker systems do not have the function of mailing express mail. Even if a few have a mailing service system, the implementation method is complicated, the cost is high, and it cannot be well integrated into the existing express locker system.
