Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an access system and an access method thereof, and more particularly to an access system for a smart locker and an access method thereof.

Background Art

[0002] In recent years, with the popularization, rise, and development of online shopping, post offices, convenience stores, various logistics companies, etc. have successively launched convenient drop-off / pick-up services, and among them, lockers are the most widely used.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0003] Generally, conventional lockers only provide key locks or password locks and can only be opened by people who own the key or password. However, this method can only be applied when the person dropping off and the person picking up are the same, and the key and password cannot be conveniently shared with others, so it cannot be applied to online shopping. Also, simply using a key or password has risks of duplication and theft, and conventional lockers have low usability and problems with security.

[0004] In light of the above problems, manufacturers have provided technical solutions for smart lockers. By connecting to a server terminal to verify the user ID, they provide users with an automated delivery / pickup service. However, this type of locker was extremely expensive. For example, the locker needed to have network functionality, a stable power supply, a powerful computing source, etc., which kept the cost of smart lockers high. There was also the problem of limited installation options. To solve the above problems, conventional patent documents, such as Patent Document 1 below, disclose a system and method for opening a smart locker by powering it with a mobile device and identifying a password. Patent Document 1 involves a server selecting the smart locker to be used, executing an encryption algorithm, generating a first verification code based on the locker location identification code of the selected smart locker, and transmitting the first verification code to the user's mobile device. If a power supply or a mobile device is selected to power the smart locker, the smart locker executes the same encryption algorithm and generates a second verification code based on its own locker location identification code. If the first and second verification codes are the same, the electronic lock is controlled to unlock, thereby achieving a technical effect that improves the availability and installation convenience of the smart locker. In other words, this type of smart locker (i.e., the smart locker itself) does not require a network or power supply, as network connectivity and power supply are provided by a mobile device. Next, the smart locker executes an encryption algorithm to generate a verification code, compares it with the received verification code, and decides whether to unlock it based on the comparison result. However, because each smart locker in this system needs to have the computing power to execute the encryption algorithm, it was not possible to effectively reduce installation costs. Also, because the encryption algorithm executed by the smart locker and the server must be the same, management effort and costs increased.For example, if the server updates its encryption algorithm, all smart lockers also need to be updated. However, if the smart lockers themselves do not have network capabilities or power supply, the update cannot be done remotely. Personnel must be dispatched to the actual installation locations of the smart lockers to perform the update, resulting in significant labor costs.

[0005] Therefore, the inventors believed that the above-mentioned shortcomings could be improved, and after diligent research, arrived at the present invention, which effectively improves the above-mentioned problems through a rational design.

[0006] This invention was made through the diligent research of the inventors in view of the above-mentioned problems, and its purpose is to provide an access system for smart lockers and a method for accessing them. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] To achieve the above objective, an access system for a smart locker, according to one aspect of the present invention, comprises a locker and a remote host, each locker including a cabinet, a motherboard, and a power line. The cabinet has a door panel that allows opening and closing, and this door panel is fitted with an electronic door lock, which is locked when unpowered and the door panel is closed. The motherboard is installed inside the cabinet, has a unique identification code, and is electrically connected to the electronic door lock via a conductor. The power line is electrically connected to the motherboard and is also permitted to be electrically connected to a portable device, and when electrically connected, the portable device reads the unique identification code and transmits it over the network, and the power line receives a trigger signal from the portable device and drives the electronic door lock to switch from the locked state to the unlocked state. Next, the remote host includes non-temporary computer-readable media and a hardware processor. The non-temporary computer-readable media is used to store a number of computer-readable instructions, and the hardware processor is electrically connected to the non-temporary computer-readable media and is used to execute the computer-readable instructions. The hardware processor is arranged as follows: A message specifying the locker location is sent to the mobile device. If the mobile device is electrically connected to the locker, the remote host receives a unique identification code and identification message sent from the mobile device over the network. Based on the unique identification code and identification message, the remote host verifies the user ID. If the user ID is valid, it generates and sends a trigger signal to the mobile device. Based on the received trigger signal, the mobile device triggers the electronic door lock to open the locker.

[0008] To solve the above-mentioned problems and achieve the objective, another aspect of the present invention provides a smart locker access method that provides a plurality of lockers, each comprising a cabinet, a motherboard, and a power line, wherein the cabinet has a door panel that allows opening and closing, and the door panel is fitted with an electronic door lock, the electronic door lock is locked when it is not powered and the door panel is closed, the motherboard has a unique identification code and is electrically connected to the electronic door lock via a conductor, a remote host sends a designated locker location message to a mobile device, when the mobile device is electrically connected to the locker via the power line, the connected mobile device reads the unique identification code from the locker and transmits the read unique identification code and identification message together to the remote host over the network, the remote host verifies the user ID based on the received unique identification code and identification message, and if the user ID is valid, generates and transmits a trigger signal to the mobile device, and the mobile device triggers the electronic door lock to switch from a locked state to an unlocked state based on the received trigger signal. [Effects of the Invention]

[0009] As described above, the system and method according to the present invention differ from the prior art in that the mobile device reads the unique identification code of a locker and transmits it to a remote host along with its own identification message, the remote host checks whether the user ID matches the specified locker, and if it matches, the remote host generates a trigger signal and transmits it to the mobile device, triggering the electronic door lock of the locker so that the mobile device switches from the locked state to the unlocked state.

[0010] Furthermore, through the aforementioned technical means, the present invention achieves the technical effects of reducing the cost of smart lockers and easing installation restrictions.

[0011] The following information will become clear from the description in the specification and drawings described later. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[0012] [Figure 1] This is a block diagram showing an access system for a smart locker according to one embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 2A] This flowchart shows a method for accessing a smart locker according to one embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 2B] This flowchart shows a method for accessing a smart locker according to one embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 3] This is a schematic diagram illustrating an access operation to a locker according to one application example of the present invention. [Figure 4] This is a schematic diagram illustrating the operation for verifying the validity of a user ID according to one application example of the present invention. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0013] The present invention will be described below through embodiments of the invention, but these embodiments are not intended to limit the invention as defined in the claims. Furthermore, not all combinations of features described in the embodiments are necessarily essential to the solution of the invention.

[0014] First, before describing the smart locker access system and access method according to the present invention, we will explain the nouns used to define the present invention. In the context of the present invention, "locker" refers to a smart locker that does not supply power itself, and power is supplied from a mobile device (smartphone, tablet, etc.) to the locker by being electrically connected to the locker via a power line. Alternatively, power is supplied from a mobile battery to the locker. When the locker receives power from the mobile device, it allows the mobile device to read a unique identification code and sends a trigger signal to activate the electronic door lock. Next, embodiments and drawings will be described in detail. In the context of the present invention, "remote host" refers to a server that allows a specific user to specify a locker for delivery / receipt. If the user is a delivery service provider, the remote host designates one of the unused lockers for the delivery service provider. If the user is a recipient, the remote host designates a locker corresponding to the recipient, identifies the user by identification number, mobile phone number, email address, and other messages that have uniqueness and identifiability, and contacts the user using at least one of the mobile phone number and email address.

[0015] Specific embodiments of the smart locker access system and access method of the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to Figures 1 to 4. Figure 1 is a block diagram showing a smart locker access system according to one embodiment of the present invention. This system comprises a locker 110 and a remote host 120. Each locker 110 comprises a cabinet 111, a motherboard 112, and a power line 113. The cabinet 111 has a door panel that allows opening and closing, and an electronic door lock is installed on this door panel. The electronic door lock is locked when it is not powered and the door panel is closed, for example, it is a cathode lock. In other words, if the electronic door lock is not powered and the door panel is closed, the locker 110 cannot be opened, and when power is supplied, the electronic door lock is opened by a trigger signal. In addition, to prevent a situation in which the door panel cannot close the cabinet 111, a set of automatic return hinges may be installed between the door panel and the cabinet 111 to automatically close the cabinet 111 when the door panel is not being subjected to force. Furthermore, in actual implementation, a through-hole is provided in the door panel for passing the power transmission line 113 through, or a connection port electrically connected to the motherboard 112 is installed within the through-hole and used for electrically connecting the power transmission line 113.

[0016] The motherboard 112 is installed inside the cabinet 111, has a unique identification code, and is electrically connected to the electronic door lock via wires. In actual implementation, the unique identification code is a string of characters, numbers, symbols, or combinations thereof that have uniqueness, and is stored in a memory element such as the motherboard 112's memory or a similar device. The wires include copper wires, aluminum wires, brass wires, titanium wires, alloy wires, etc., and are used to transmit the trigger signal received by the locker 110 to the electronic door lock.

[0017] The power line 113 is electrically connected to the motherboard 112 and also allows for an electrical connection to a portable device. When electrically connected, the portable device reads and transmits a unique identification code over the network, and the power line 113 receives a trigger signal from the portable device and drives the electronic door lock to switch from a locked state to an unlocked state. In practice, the power line 113 may also be a USB (Universal Serial Bus) OTG (On-The-Go) compliant power line, allowing an OTG-supporting portable device to switch from a USB peripheral to a USB host and having reverse power supply capability. That is, an OTG-supporting portable device supplies power to an OTG-supporting locker 110. In addition, the power line 113 may have data transmission capability between the locker 110 and the portable device. Incidentally, the mobile device vectorizes the read unique identification code and its own identification message, performs arithmetic operations, generates a calculated value, and provides this calculated value to the remote host 120 to verify whether the user ID is valid. An example will be provided with the help of the drawings. Furthermore, in actual implementation, the mobile device may also have a 2D barcode scanning function. If electrically connected to the motherboard 112 via the power line 113, the mobile device may also be used as a scanning device for the locker 110, and by scanning the 2D barcode, it acquires a trigger signal and triggers the electronic door lock. The point to be explained here is that although an example of a 2D barcode has been described, the present invention is not limited to these, and any method that allows the trigger signal to be acquired directly or indirectly by the connected mobile device does not depart from the scope of application of the present invention. In the example of directly acquiring the trigger signal, the trigger signal is transmitted by a wired or wireless method. In the example of indirectly acquiring the trigger signal, a specific character, symbol, number, or combination thereof is incorporated into the 2D barcode as a trigger signal, and when the 2D barcode is scanned by the mobile device, this trigger signal can be acquired immediately.In another example of indirectly obtaining a trigger signal, a network address is embedded in a two-dimensional barcode, which guides the mobile device to establish a connection with a remote device (e.g., remote host 120) and obtain the trigger signal. In practice, this can be implemented using one-dimensional barcodes or specific images, or even a combination of voiceprints, fingerprints, or other biometric authentication to trigger the electronic door lock.

[0018] Next, the remote host 120 comprises a non-temporary computer-readable medium 121 and a hardware processor 122. The non-temporary computer-readable medium 121 is used to store a plurality of computer-readable instructions. In practice, the non-temporary computer-readable medium 121 may be a tangible device for holding and storing instructions used by an instruction execution device. The non-temporary computer-readable medium 121 may be an electronic memory device, a magnetic memory device, an optical memory device, an electromagnetic memory device, a semiconductor memory device, or any suitable combination of the above, and the present invention is not limited thereto. Further specific examples (non-exclusive list) of the non-temporary computer-readable medium 121 include hard disks, RAM, ROM, flash memory, optical disks, floppy disks, and any suitable combination of the above. The non-temporary computer-readable medium 121 as used herein should not be interpreted as instantaneous signals themselves, such as wireless radio waves or other freely propagating electromagnetic waves, electromagnetic waves propagated via guides or other transmission media (e.g., optical signals propagated by fiber optic cables), or electrical signals transmitted by wires. Furthermore, the computer-readable instructions described herein may be downloaded from non-temporary computer-readable media 121 to each computing / processing unit, or downloaded to external computer devices or external storage devices via a network such as the Internet, a local area network, a wide area network, and / or a wireless network. The network may include copper transmission cables, fiber optic transmission, wireless transmission, routers, firewalls, switches, hubs, and / or gateways. The network card or network interface of each computing / processing unit receives computer-readable instructions from the network, transfers these instructions, and stores them on the non-temporary computer-readable media 121 of each computing / processing unit.The computer-readable instructions for performing the operations of the present invention may be assembly language instructions, instruction set configuration instructions, machine instructions, machine-related instructions, microinstructions, firmware instructions, or source code or object code edited by any combination of one or more programming languages, and the programming languages ​​include object-oriented programming languages ​​such as Common Lisp, Python, C++, Objective-C, Smalltalk, Delphi, Java, Swift, C#, Perl, Ruby, and PHP, as well as ordinary procedural programming languages ​​such as the C language and similar programming languages.

[0019] The hardware processor 122 is electrically connected to a non-temporary computer-readable medium 121 and is used to execute computer-readable instructions. The hardware processor 122 is configured as follows: A designated locker location message is sent to the mobile device, and when the mobile device is electrically connected to the locker 110, the remote host 120 receives a unique identification code and identification message sent by the mobile device via the network, verifies the user ID based on the unique identification code and identification message, and if the user ID is valid, generates a trigger signal and sends it to the mobile device, which then triggers the electronic door lock to open the locker 110 based on the received trigger signal. In actual implementation, the hardware processor 122 may be implemented as an integrated circuit chip, a system on a chip (SoC), a CPLD (Complex Programmable Logic Device), an FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array), etc. Incidentally, the remote host 120 may also generate an authentication message based on the designated locker location message and the mobile device's mobile phone number, and send the authentication message to the mobile device. If the authentication message matches the mobile device and the locker 110 electrically connected to the mobile device, the system can authenticate that the mobile device will transmit the read unique identification code and identification message to the remote host 120 over the network. In other words, only mobile devices that have obtained the authentication message can send data to the remote host 120, and mobile devices that have not obtained the authentication message cannot send data to the remote host 120, or any data sent to the remote host 120 will be discarded by the remote host 120. The identification message may include an identification card number, mobile phone number, email address, and other messages that have uniqueness and distinctiveness. If the remote host 120 detects the same mobile device and the same unique identification code and identification message are transmitted duplicately within a predetermined time interval (e.g., 5 minutes), the remote host 120 will allow the regeneration of the trigger signal.After this time interval has elapsed, the remote host 120 prohibits the regeneration of the trigger signal until the locker 110 is opened by another mobile device. In other words, the trigger signal can be generated multiple times within a given time interval to open the locker 110, preventing the door panel from being accidentally closed when no luggage is placed inside / taken out. It should be noted here that, as mentioned above, only mobile devices that have received the authentication message can send data to the remote host 120, and in practice, the authentication status of the mobile device is verified by scanning a two-dimensional barcode (QR code). Similarly, when a mobile device receives a trigger signal, it converts the trigger signal into a two-dimensional barcode, displays the barcode on a screen for scanning by a scanning device connected to the locker 110, and triggers the electronic door lock of the locker 110 to switch from the locked state to the unlocked state. Furthermore, it may be permitted to print the two-dimensional barcode and then provide it directly for scanning by a scanning device (e.g., a mobile device with scanning capabilities). The aforementioned two-dimensional barcode includes a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI), a unique identification code, an identification message (e.g., a password), and the like.

[0020] Incidentally, in order to maintain data security, the data transmitted between the smartphone and the locker 110 may include, for example, a unique identification code, a message specifying the locker location, an identification message, etc., and may all be processed using encryption / encoding methods. For example, encryption may be implemented using a Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA), Message-Digest Algorithm 5 (MD5), etc.

[0021] FIG. 2A and FIG. 2B are flowcharts showing a method for accessing a smart locker according to an embodiment of the present invention. This step provides a plurality of lockers 110 including a cabinet 111, a motherboard 112, and a power transmission line 113. The cabinet 111 has a door panel that permits opening and closing, and an electronic door lock is installed on this door panel. When the electronic door lock is not powered and the door panel is closed, it is in a locked state. The motherboard 112 has a unique identification code and is electrically connected to the electronic door lock via a conducting wire in step 210. In step 220, the remote host 120 transmits a designated locker position message to the portable device. In step 230, when the portable device is electrically connected to the locker 110 via the power transmission line 113, the connected portable device reads the unique identification code from the locker 110 and transmits both the read unique identification code and the identification message to the remote host 120 through the network. In step 240, the remote host 120 confirms the user ID based on the received unique identification code and identification message, and when the user ID is valid, generates a trigger signal and transmits it to the portable device. In step 250, the portable device triggers the electronic door lock to switch from the locked state to the unlocked state based on the received trigger signal. Through the above steps, the portable device reads the unique identification code of the locker 110 and transmits it to the remote host 120 together with its own identification message. The remote host 120 confirms whether the user ID matches the designated locker 110. If it matches, the remote host 120 generates a trigger signal and transmits it to the portable device, and the portable device triggers the electronic door lock of the locker 110 to switch from the locked state to the unlocked state.

[0022] The method of the embodiment will be explained below with reference to Figures 3 and 4. First, Figure 3 is a schematic diagram showing the operation of accessing a locker according to one application example of the present invention. In actual implementation, whether dropping off or receiving a package, it is basically necessary to open the designated locker 300. Therefore, in practice, the remote host 340 is responsible for deciding whether or not to open the locker 110. Taking the case of dropping off a package as an example, if the delivery person logs into the remote host 340 using a mobile phone app and notifies the delivery person that they will be using the locker 110, the remote host 120 will send a designated locker location message (i.e., the remote host 120 selects / specifies a currently available locker 300) to the delivery person's smartphone 331 via network / short message. For example, if there are multiple empty lockers, the remote host 120 will either arbitrarily select one of them and allow the delivery person to use it, or select a locker that is suitable for the delivery person based on their location, height, etc., or select a locker that is suitable based on the size of the package to be dropped off. For example, if the delivery person is short, the remote host 120 selects a lower locker based on the predetermined arrangement of the lockers and allows the delivery person to use it. Alternatively, assuming the size of the package is known, it selects a locker based on its maximum volume. Next, the smartphone 331 is electrically connected to the locker 300 via the power line 330 that penetrates the through-hole 311. At this time, power is supplied from the connected smartphone 331 to the locker 300, and the smartphone reads a unique identification code from the motherboard 320 of the locker 300 and transmits the read unique identification code and identification message together to the remote host 340 via the network. The remote host 340 then verifies the user ID based on the received unique identification code and identification message, and if the user ID is valid, generates a trigger signal and sends it to the smartphone 331. Subsequently, the smartphone 331 triggers the electronic door lock 313 to switch from the locked state to the unlocked state based on the received trigger signal. At this point, the delivery person can open the door panel 312 and place the package in the cabinet 310.After placing the package inside, the delivery person closes the door panel 312 to close the cabinet 310 and pulls out the power line 330, at which point the electronic door lock 313 automatically locks. This completes the flowchart for the delivery operation. Incidentally, in actual implementation, after the smartphone 331 receives the trigger signal, it is first saved on the smartphone 331, and when it is time to use it, the mobile app on the smartphone 331 triggers the transmission of the trigger signal, which is then sent to the locker 300 via the power line 330. Alternatively, based on the trigger signal, a 2D barcode that can trigger unlocking is generated and displayed on the screen of the smartphone 331, or this 2D barcode is printed directly and provided to a scanning device connected to the locker 300 for scanning, triggering the electronic door lock 313 of the locker 300. In other words, the trigger signal does not need to be transmitted immediately, and even if it cannot be transmitted smoothly, a 2D barcode for scanning is generated, or the trigger signal is continuously transmitted until transmission is successful, preventing situations where unlocking cannot be performed smoothly due to poor network / connection conditions.

[0023] Next, taking the case of receiving as an example, the overall flowchart is largely the same as that of placing. Similarly, the remote host 120 also sends a designated locker position message to the recipient's smartphone via the network / short message, and this designated locker position message specifies the locker 300 that the received luggage is using. Similarly, when the smartphone is electrically connected to the designated locker 300 via the power transmission line 330 provided through the through hole 311, power is supplied to the locker 300 by the connected smartphone, and the unique identification code is read from the motherboard 320 of the locker 300, and both the read unique identification code and the identification message are sent to the remote host 340 through the network. In this way, the remote host 340 can determine whether the locker 110 to which the smartphone is connected is the designated locker 300 based on the unique identification code, and can determine the recipient's ID based on identification messages such as the mobile phone number and login message. When it is confirmed that there is no error in the ID, the remote host 340 generates a trigger signal and sends it to the smartphone, and the smartphone sends the trigger signal received via the power transmission line 113 to the locker 300 to drive the electronic door lock 313 to switch from the locked state to the unlocked state. At this time, the recipient can smoothly take out the luggage from the designated locker 300. Similarly, after taking out the luggage, when the recipient closes the door panel 312 to close the cabinet 310 and removes the power transmission line 330, the electronic door lock 313 automatically locks. Thus, the receiving operation flowchart is completed. Supplementary explanation: Incidentally, in the above embodiment, the power transmission line 330 provided through the through hole 311 is shown, but the present invention is not limited to this, and any method that can electrically connect the motherboard 320 to the power transmission line 330 does not depart from the scope of application of the present invention.

[0024] Figure 4 is a schematic diagram showing the operation of verifying the validity of a user ID according to one application example of the present invention. In actual implementation, the method by which the mobile device transmits the read unique identification code and identification message together to the remote host 120 via the network is not limited to transmitting them separately, but may also be to first perform calculations on both before transmitting them to the remote host 120. For example, the mobile app on the mobile device can obtain a calculated value 430 by adding the unique identification code 410 read from the locker 110 and the user's own mobile phone number 420, and transmit this calculated value 430 to the remote host 120. Next, when the remote host 120 checks whether the user ID is valid, since the user's mobile phone number and the designated locker are all known messages, it subtracts the value of the mobile phone number from the calculated value and determines whether it matches the designated locker (i.e., whether the user ID is valid). For example, if the value corresponding to the designated locker is "123", the value obtained by subtracting the mobile phone number from the calculated value will also be "123", and it will be considered that the two match, meaning that the user ID is valid. In this way, the confidentiality of the unique identification code and identification message is ensured by calculation rules unknown to third parties, i.e., transmitted over the network in plain text format. In addition, a timestamp 440 may be added to the calculation; for example, the unique identification code 410, the user's mobile phone number 420, and the timestamp 440 may be added together to obtain a calculated value 450. In this way, the remote host 120 can further verify the timeliness during the verification process. It should be noted that while the present invention describes the calculation method using the above example, the present invention is not limited to these examples, and all calculations that combine the unique identification code and identification message, such as adding a password to the calculation, do not deviate from the scope of application of the present invention.

[0025] In summary, the present invention differs from the prior art in that a portable device reads the unique identification code of the locker 110 and transmits it to a remote host 120 along with its own identification message, the remote host 120 checks whether the user ID matches the specified locker 110, and if it matches, the remote host 120 generates a trigger signal and transmits it to the portable device, the portable device transmits it to the locker 110 via the power line 113 to drive the electronic door lock of the locker 110 so as to switch from the locked state to the unlocked state. This technical means solves the problems present in the prior art and achieves the technical effects of reducing the cost of smart lockers and easing installation restrictions.

[0026] Although embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the drawings, the specific configuration is not limited to these embodiments, and design modifications and the like are also included within the scope of the gist of the present invention.
