[0031] In order to have a clearer understanding of the technical features, purposes and effects of the present invention, specific embodiments of the present invention are now described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0032] In a preferred embodiment, reference Figure 1 The method for exchanging physical prizes for a smart recycling bin of this embodiment is applied to a smart recycling bin, which includes multiple garbage storage locations, each of which is used to store different types of garbage, such as metal garbage, plastic garbage, glass garbage, clothing garbage, kitchen waste, electronic garbage, expired medicines, etc. Each garbage storage location is usually closed and will be opened only when the user puts in garbage, and will be closed again after the user puts in garbage. The smart recycling bin also includes a human-computer interaction interface. The user needs to log in to his or her user account before putting in garbage. The user selects the type of garbage to be put in the human-computer interaction interface, and the human-computer interaction interface opens the delivery port of the corresponding garbage storage location. Alternatively, the recognition module of the smart recycling bin can automatically identify the type of garbage and open the delivery port of the corresponding garbage storage location. Specifically, the method for exchanging physical prizes for a smart recycling bin includes the following steps:

[0033] S1. Split the physical prize into multiple virtual components according to the components of the physical prize, and set the preset material type and preset material weight corresponding to each virtual component.

[0034] Specifically, the components of the physical prize refer to the real components of the physical prize, and are the main components; for example, the physical prize is a rice cooker, and the main components of the rice cooker are metal and plastic; for example, the physical prize is a glass thermos cup, and the main components of the glass thermos cup are glass and metal; for example, the physical prize is a doll, and the main components of the doll are cloth and cotton. The physical prize is divided into multiple parts, and each part is converted into a corresponding virtual part according to its components, and each virtual part corresponds to one or more materials. For example, the rice cooker is divided into an outer shell and an inner liner, the outer shell is plastic, and the inner liner is metal, and then a virtual outer shell and a virtual inner liner are generated, the material corresponding to the virtual outer shell is plastic, and the material corresponding to the virtual inner liner is metal. Further, the preset material type and preset material weight corresponding to each virtual component are set, wherein the preset material type is determined by the real material of the virtual component corresponding to the real component, and cannot be set arbitrarily, so as to conform to people's natural cognition of physical prizes, and the preset material type can be freely set according to demand.

[0035] S2. The smart recycling bin obtains the type and weight of the garbage thrown by the user, and saves the corresponding weight of each type of garbage to the user account.

[0036] Specifically, when a user needs to put out garbage, he or she first logs into his or her user account through the human-computer interaction interface of the smart recycling bin; as an option, the user can choose to log in with an account password, swipe a card, or use facial recognition to log in. After logging in to the user account, the user manually selects the type of garbage to be put in, or the recognition module of the smart recycling bin automatically identifies the type of garbage to be put in, and then opens the delivery port of the corresponding garbage storage location. After opening the delivery port, the user needs to place the garbage on the weighing module, which obtains the weight of the garbage put in by the user, and puts the garbage into the garbage storage location after weighing. After obtaining the type and weight of the garbage put in by the user, the garbage weight corresponding to each type of garbage is saved in the user account. The garbage weight of each type of garbage is classified and stored in the user account, including the type and weight of the garbage put in each time, as well as the accumulated value of the garbage weight of each type of garbage, that is, the total weight of each type of garbage put in.

[0037] S3. When the garbage weight of a certain type of garbage in the user account reaches the preset material weight of the preset material type corresponding to the virtual component, the virtual component exchange is completed.

[0038] Specifically, this embodiment provides users with a variety of physical prizes. After the user chooses to view a certain physical prize, the various virtual components of the physical prize and the preset material type and preset material weight required for each virtual component are displayed. At the same time, the garbage weight of each type of garbage stored in the user's account is read to determine whether the preset material type required for each virtual component of the physical prize has reached the preset material weight. If the garbage weight corresponding to the preset material type required for a certain virtual component has reached the preset material weight, the virtual component exchange is completed; if the garbage weight corresponding to the preset material type required for a certain virtual component has not reached the preset material weight, the completion ratio is displayed. It should be noted that the preset material type required for a certain virtual component corresponds to a type of garbage. For example, if the preset material type required for the virtual component is plastic, the corresponding garbage type is plastic garbage; for example, if the preset material type required for the virtual component is metal, the corresponding garbage type is metal garbage.

[0039] S4. After all virtual components of the physical prize are redeemed, the user account obtains the physical prize.

[0040] Specifically, after a virtual component of a physical prize is exchanged, it is determined whether all virtual components of the physical prize are exchanged. If all virtual components of the physical prize are exchanged, the user account obtains the physical prize; if at least one virtual component of the physical prize is not exchanged, the user account does not obtain the physical prize. After the user account determines to exchange a physical prize that has been obtained, the garbage weight of each type of garbage consumed by the physical prize is deducted from the user account.

[0041] This embodiment encourages residents to actively implement garbage sorting by playing games, and gives real prizes as rewards after completing the game, so as to increase people's willingness to sort their garbage and gradually cultivate good habits of garbage sorting.

[0042] In the method for exchanging physical prizes for smart recycling bins in one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 2 , the method is applied to a smart recycling bin system, the smart recycling bin system includes a server and at least two smart recycling bins, the server is respectively connected to each smart recycling bin in communication, and each smart recycling bin can recycle garbage. At least two smart recycling bins send the garbage weight and user account corresponding to each type of garbage to the server, that is, the user can put garbage in any smart recycling bin, and the type and weight of the garbage put in will be uploaded to the server, and the server will save the garbage weight corresponding to each type of garbage to the user account. This embodiment allows users to put garbage in different smart recycling bins at different locations, and the weight of the garbage put in will be uploaded to the server, so that users can accumulate their own user accounts.

[0043] In the method for exchanging physical prizes for smart recycling bins in one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 3 The smart recycling bin system also includes multiple user terminals, and the server is connected to each user terminal in communication. The user terminal can be a smart phone, a tablet computer, a laptop computer, a desktop computer, etc. The user terminal logs in to the server, and displays information such as the types of garbage accumulated in the user account, the weight of garbage corresponding to each type of garbage, physical prizes, virtual components corresponding to physical prizes, the completion status of each virtual component, and the completion status of each physical prize on the user terminal. As an option, the user terminal displays a contact list, which is added by the user himself, and each user account in the contact list is a registered user account.

[0044] As an option, in order to facilitate users to improve the efficiency of prize exchange, reduce the difficulty of prize exchange, and enhance the interactivity of the game, different user accounts in this embodiment can send the weight of a certain type of garbage to each other. When a gift is needed, select a user account in the contact list, and send the type and weight of the gifted garbage to the selected user account.

[0045] As an option, in order to facilitate users to improve the efficiency of prize exchange, reduce the difficulty of prize exchange, and enhance the interactivity of the game, different user accounts in this embodiment can exchange the weight of different types of garbage. When an exchange is required, select a user account in the contact list and send the type and weight of the garbage to be exchanged to the selected user account.

[0046] Alternatively, in order to facilitate users to improve the efficiency of prize exchange, reduce the difficulty of prize exchange, and enhance the interactivity of the game, the same user account in this embodiment converts the garbage weight of one type of garbage into the garbage weight of another type of garbage according to a preset conversion ratio. Alternatively, the same user account converts the garbage weight of at least two types of garbage into the garbage weight of another type of garbage according to a preset conversion ratio.

[0047] In the method for exchanging physical prizes for a smart recycling bin in one embodiment, when the garbage weight of a certain type of garbage in a user account reaches the preset material weight of the preset material type corresponding to the virtual component in step S3, it includes: when the sum of the garbage weights of a certain type of garbage in at least two user accounts reaches the preset material weight of the preset material type corresponding to the virtual component. That is to say, when a user accumulates garbage weight slowly, or a user does not have enough garbage weight for certain types of garbage, multiple users are allowed to exchange virtual components together. For example, if the weight of metal garbage of A and B is not enough to exchange for a certain metal virtual component, A and B can pool the weight of metal garbage of the two user accounts and exchange the metal virtual component together; if the weight of metal garbage of the two user accounts of A and B is pooled to reach the preset material weight of the corresponding preset material type of the metal virtual component, the virtual component is obtained. This embodiment allows multiple users to accumulate garbage weight at the same time to exchange for physical prizes, which is conducive to the garbage thrower to lead the people around to sort and throw garbage together.

[0048] In the method for exchanging physical prizes for smart recycling bins in one embodiment, step S4 includes: S41, after the virtual components completed by at least two user accounts are combined into a physical prize, all participating user accounts jointly obtain the physical prize. In other words, if the virtual components completed by a certain user account have not yet been combined into a physical prize, the user account can be combined with the virtual components obtained by other user accounts. If the virtual components completed by at least two user accounts can be combined into a physical prize, all participating user accounts jointly obtain the physical prize. This embodiment allows multiple users to accumulate garbage weight at the same time to exchange for physical prizes, which is conducive to the garbage thrower to lead the people around to sort and put out garbage together.

[0049] In the method for exchanging physical prizes for smart recycling bins in one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 4 , after step S4, it also includes: S51, the user terminal logs in to the server, the human-computer interaction interface of the user terminal displays that the user account has completed the physical prize, selects the physical prize obtained and fills in the mailing information, and the mailing information is used to mail the physical prize. This embodiment allows the user to fill in the mailing information on his own user terminal, and the physical prize is mailed to the user by express delivery, which not only reduces the composition of the smart recycling bin, but also facilitates the user to field the prize.

[0050] In the method for exchanging physical prizes for smart recycling bins in one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 4 , after step S4, it also includes: S52, the smart recycling bin includes a physical prize storage module, the human-computer interaction interface of the smart recycling bin displays that the user account has completed the physical prize, and the physical prize storage module releases the corresponding physical prize after receiving the prize redemption instruction input by the user. The smart recycling bin of this embodiment is provided with a prize distribution module, and the user can collect his prize by the way after putting out the garbage, which is convenient for some elderly people to operate.

[0051] In some embodiments of the smart recycling bin physical prize redemption method, the smart recycling bin also includes a lighting lamp and a distance sensing module, and the distance sensing module is used to sense whether a user is close to the trash can. The distance sensing module senses the user's current distance and determines whether the user's current distance is less than the preset distance. If the user's current distance is less than the preset distance, the lighting lamp is turned on to facilitate the user to put out the garbage. The lighting lamp automatically turns off after the preset time is turned on to save energy. It can be understood that the lighting lamp and the distance sensing module only need to work when the light is not good at night. As an option, the smart recycling bin also includes a light intensity detection module, which is used to detect the ambient light intensity. When the ambient light intensity is lower than the preset light intensity, the lighting lamp and the distance sensing module enter the working state, and the distance sensing module senses and starts to detect the user's current distance. When the ambient light intensity is not lower than the preset light intensity, the lighting lamp and the distance sensing module enter the sleep mode to save energy. This embodiment can automatically provide lighting for users when the light is not good, facilitate users to put out garbage, and improve the user experience.

[0052] In some embodiments of the smart recycling bin physical prize redemption method, the smart recycling bin also includes a solar panel and a battery pack. The solar panel is installed on the top of the smart recycling bin to absorb light and generate electricity. The generated electricity is stored in the battery pack, and the battery pack can power the smart recycling bin. Alternatively, the electricity generated by the solar panel is monitored every day. When the electricity generated by the solar panel for many consecutive days is lower than the preset electricity value, the smart recycling bin sends a reminder message to remind the staff to clean the solar panel. In addition, the smart recycling bin of this embodiment adopts a dual power supply mode of mains power supply and battery pack power supply. In order to save electricity, when the battery pack has electricity, the battery pack is used to power the smart recycling bin first. It can be understood that the mains power does not charge the battery pack.
