[0024] The present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It is to be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention, rather than to limit the present invention. It should also be noted that, for ease of description, only parts related to the present invention, rather than all structures, are shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0025] Embodiment 1

[0026] Figure 1 1 is a flow chart of a method for storing express parcels provided in the first embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is applicable to the case of storing express parcels in a self-collection cabinet. The method can be executed by an express parcel storage device, which can be implemented in software and / or hardware. For example, the express parcel storage device can be configured in a computer device. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0027] S110: In response to the detected package deposit request, determine the package owner identifier corresponding to the package to be deposited.

[0028] In this embodiment, the parcel deposit request may be initiated by the courier by scanning the parcel to be deposited, and is used to request the deposit of the parcel to be deposited. When the courier places the parcel to be deposited into the express box in the self-collection cabinet, the courier usually triggers the parcel deposit request by scanning the express parcel barcode on the parcel to be deposited through the scanning device on the self-collection cabinet. After receiving the parcel deposit request initiated by the courier through the scanning terminal, the express parcel deposit device allocates an express box for the parcel to be deposited, associates the parcel to be deposited with the allocated express box for storage, and controls the allocated express box to be opened, so that the courier can place the parcel to be deposited into the allocated express box. In the embodiment of the present invention, an empty express box is no longer directly selected as the allocated express box for the parcel to be deposited, but the user associated with the parcel to be deposited is determined, and the express parcel of the user is placed in the same express box to improve the use efficiency of the express box.

[0029] Specifically, when a package storage request is detected, the package owner identifier (i.e., user identifier) ​​corresponding to the package to be stored associated with the package storage request is obtained, and the express box where the stored package corresponding to the package owner identifier is located is used as the target express box corresponding to the package to be stored, and the package to be stored is stored.

[0030] In this embodiment, the parcel storage party identifier corresponding to the parcel to be deposited can be obtained through the parcel barcode information carried in the parcel deposit request. In one embodiment of the present invention, determining the parcel owner identifier corresponding to the item to be deposited includes: obtaining the parcel barcode information carried in the item deposit request, obtaining the express parcel information of the parcel to be deposited according to the parcel barcode information, and using the owner identifier in the express parcel information as the parcel owner identifier. Optionally, the express parcel information corresponding to the parcel barcode information can be queried, and the owner identifier can be queried from the express parcel information as the parcel owner identifier. Exemplarily, the courier scans the express parcel barcode to generate a parcel deposit request carrying the parcel barcode information (such as the express order number). After receiving the parcel deposit request, the express parcel deposit device obtains the parcel barcode information contained in the parcel deposit request, queries the express parcel information corresponding to the parcel barcode information, and uses the owner identifier in the express parcel information as the parcel owner identifier. Among them, obtaining the parcel barcode information in the parcel deposit request and obtaining the owner identifier in the express parcel information can be realized by keyword recognition in the prior art, which will not be repeated here.

[0031] S120: Obtain a stored package corresponding to the package owner identifier and a storage box identifier of the stored package.

[0032] In this embodiment, the express parcel belonging to the same user as the parcel to be deposited is obtained according to the parcel owner identifier. Optionally, the parcel owner identifier can be used as a keyword to search for the deposited parcel corresponding to the parcel owner identifier in the parcel storage database, and obtain the storage box identifier corresponding to the deposited parcel in the database.

[0033] Considering that the same user may have different delivery addresses, and in order to reduce the workload of data query, adjacent self-pickup cabinets may be set as a group of self-pickup cabinets in advance according to the geographical location of the self-pickup cabinets. When searching for a stored package corresponding to the package owner identifier, the self-pickup cabinet group corresponding to the courier's geographical location is searched. In one embodiment, obtaining a stored package corresponding to the package owner identifier includes: obtaining location information associated with the package storage request, determining a candidate storage box corresponding to the package to be stored according to the location information associated with the package storage request; and obtaining a stored package corresponding to the package owner identifier from the stored packages associated with the candidate storage boxes. Optionally, when the courier scans the express parcel barcode on the parcel to be deposited, the scanning device will generate a parcel deposit request with the courier's current location information and the parcel barcode information and upload it. The express parcel deposit device obtains the location information carried in the parcel deposit request, and uses the self-pickup cabinet group associated with the location information as a candidate self-pickup cabinet group, and uses the express boxes of the candidate self-pickup cabinet group as candidate deposit boxes. When searching for a deposited parcel corresponding to the parcel owner identifier, the deposited parcels associated with the candidate deposit boxes are queried. Exemplarily, assuming that the self-pickup cabinet group associated with the location information is self-pickup cabinet group A, and self-pickup cabinet group A includes N express boxes, then the above N express boxes are used as candidate deposit boxes, and the deposited parcels associated with the candidate deposit boxes are searched for a deposited parcel whose owner identifier is the same as the parcel owner identifier.

[0034] S130: Generate storage instruction information including the storage box identification, and use the storage instruction information as response information to the item storage request.

[0035] When there is a stored package corresponding to the package owner's identifier, storage indication information including the storage box identifier is generated in response; when there is no stored package corresponding to the package owner's identifier, an empty express box is directly selected to generate storage indication information in response.

[0036] Optionally, the storage box identification can be directly sent to the self-pickup cabinet as storage indication information for display. On this basis, in order to enable the courier to better understand whether the package to be stored can be placed in the box, the relevant information of the stored package in the storage box identification and the space information of the express box corresponding to the storage box identification can also be displayed. In one embodiment of the present invention, generating storage indication information containing the storage box identification includes: obtaining the size information of the stored package in the storage box identification, generating the storage indication information containing the size information, the box space information of the storage box identification and the storage box identification. Optionally, the size information of the stored package can be obtained, the box space information of the express box corresponding to the storage box identification, and the size information, the box space information and the storage package identification are jointly generated into the storage indication information for response, so that the courier can judge whether the package to be stored can be placed in the express box corresponding to the storage box identification according to the size information of the stored package carried in the storage indication information and the box space information.

[0037] In one embodiment, the size information of the deposited parcel can be obtained by calling the logistics system, and can also be estimated and stored based on the image taken by the external camera of the self-pickup cabinet when the courier places the express package into the express box. The box space information of the express box can be stored in advance.

[0038] In another embodiment, a camera may be provided in the express box, and the image of the express box taken by the camera may be used as the size information of the stored package and the box space information of the express box, and added to the storage instruction information for display. The courier may determine whether the package to be stored can be placed in the express box corresponding to the storage box identification based on the image of the express box.

[0039] The embodiment of the present invention determines the parcel owner identifier corresponding to the parcel to be deposited in response to the detected parcel deposit request; obtains the deposited parcel corresponding to the parcel owner identifier and the storage box identifier of the deposited parcel; generates deposit indication information including the storage box identifier, and uses the deposit indication information as the response information of the item deposit request, and deposits the parcels with the same parcel owner identifier in the same express box according to the parcel owner identifier of the parcel to be deposited, so that multiple parcels of the same user can be stored in the same express box, thereby improving the utilization efficiency of the express boxes in the self-pickup cabinet.

[0040] Embodiment 2

[0041] Figure 2 1 is a flow chart of a method for storing express parcels provided in the second embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is further optimized on the basis of the above embodiment. Figure 2 As shown, the method includes:

[0042] S210: In response to the detected package deposit request, determine the package owner identifier corresponding to the package to be deposited.

[0043] S220: Obtain the stored package corresponding to the package owner identifier and the storage box identifier of the stored package.

[0044] S230: Generate storage instruction information including the storage box identification, and use the storage instruction information as response information to the item storage request.

[0045] S240: In response to the detected indication confirmation instruction, the express box corresponding to the storage box identifier is used as the target express box, and the target express box is controlled to be opened.

[0046] In this embodiment, when the courier determines to place the package to be deposited into the courier box corresponding to the storage box body identification, he clicks the confirmation button on the self-pickup cabinet to trigger the indication confirmation instruction. After the express package storage device detects the indication confirmation instruction initiated by the courier, it takes the courier box corresponding to the storage box body identification as the target courier box, opens the electronic lock of the target courier box, and enables the courier to place the package to be deposited into the target courier box.

[0047] S250: In response to the detected instruction rejection, select an empty express box as a target express box, and control the target express box to open.

[0048] In this embodiment, when the courier determines not to place the package to be deposited into the courier box corresponding to the storage box body identification, he clicks the reject button on the self-pickup cabinet to trigger the rejection instruction. After the express package storage device detects the rejection instruction initiated by the courier, it selects an empty courier box as the target courier box, opens the electronic lock of the target courier box, and allows the courier to place the package to be deposited into the target courier box.

[0049] S260: Acquire the collected image information of the package to be stored, determine the size information of the package to be stored based on the image information, and associate the size information with the package to be stored and the target express box for storage.

[0050] Generally, a camera is installed outside the self-collection cabinet to prevent the loss of the package on the one hand, and on the other hand, it can capture the image information of the package to be stored when the courier places the package to be stored in the courier box, and estimate the size information of the package to be stored based on the image information. After the courier places the package to be stored in the target courier box, the size information of the package to be stored is associated with the target courier box as the size information of the stored package, so that it can be called when the courier places other packages to be stored. Among them, estimating the size information of the package to be stored based on the image information can be achieved by training a deep learning network, and can also be achieved by estimating based on the image ratio.

[0051] Based on the above embodiments, the embodiment of the present invention determines the target express box according to the instruction confirmation instruction or the instruction rejection instruction triggered by the courier, and selects the express box selection method corresponding to the instruction, so that multiple express parcels of the same user can be placed in the same express box; by collecting image information of the parcels to be deposited, and then estimating the size information for storage, it is convenient for the courier to reasonably determine the remaining space in the express box, thereby making the determination of the target express box more reasonable.
