Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of office equipment technology, and in particular to an automatic paper shredder, method, system, electronic device, medium, and program product. Background Technology
[0002] Existing automated batch shredders lack strategies to restrict the retrieval of unshredded paper. When used in public office areas, to ensure document security, the shredder requires full human supervision until the shredding process is complete. If a user leaves before the document is fully shredded, unsupervised shredding can lead to jams or other malfunctions. Others will need to remove the jammed documents to resolve the issue, potentially resulting in document leakage. Therefore, current shredding devices lack adequate security measures, requiring users to remove unprocessed documents to prevent information loss, making their use inconvenient. Summary of the Invention

The elastic moving part is elastically connected to the main body to clamp the stored documents.
[0009] Secondly, embodiments of this application provide an automatic paper shredding method, which includes: receiving user-inputted interactive information via an interactive unit, the interactive information including user information and instruction information; when the interactive information is verified by a secure access server, placing the file to be processed into a file shredding chamber, and shredding the file using a shredding unit in the file shredding chamber; upon receiving a stop shredding instruction, determining a first target insert that is idle from a plurality of insert inserts; transferring the first target insert to a target position via a track moving unit through a target channel to receive a retained file, the retained file being a file to be processed that has not yet been shredded; storing the user information corresponding to the retained file in the first target insert; and transferring the first target insert carrying the retained file to a retained storage chamber.
[0010] According to a second aspect of the embodiments of this application, the automatic paper shredding method further includes: querying the storage status of shredded files in the shredding storage bin via a secure access server; if the storage status is temporary, determining a second target insert slot corresponding to the target user information from multiple insert slots based on the target user information corresponding to the incomplete task information; ejecting the shredded file corresponding to the target user information via the second target insert slot; and transferring the shredded file corresponding to the target user information to the document confirmation bin for outbound verification via a track moving unit.
[0011] According to a second aspect of the embodiments of this application, the storage state also includes a packaging state, and the automatic shredding method further includes: when the volume of the shredded documents in the storage compartment exceeds a preset threshold in proportion to the capacity of the storage compartment, the shredded documents are changed from a temporary storage state to a packaging state; upon receiving a packaging instruction input by the user, multiple inserts and corresponding shredded documents in the storage compartment are ejected one by one; the inserts and shredded documents are sent to the packaging and sealing component via a track moving unit; a suitable packaging bag is selected according to the paper thickness and paper shape of the shredded documents, and the shredded documents are packaged and sealed by the packaging and sealing component to obtain sealed documents; the sealed documents are transferred to the document confirmation compartment via the track moving unit for the administrator to retrieve.
[0012] According to a second aspect of the embodiments of this application, after selecting a suitable packaging bag based on the paper thickness and shape of the retained document, and packaging the retained document using a packaging and sealing component to obtain a sealed document, the method further includes: extracting user information stored in the insert slide corresponding to the sealed document and marking it as target user information; printing the target user information on the outer surface of the sealed document to verify the information of the sealed document; clearing the user information stored in the insert slide corresponding to the sealed document, and transferring the insert slide corresponding to the sealed document to the retained storage compartment via a track moving unit.
[0013] Thirdly, embodiments of this application provide an automatic paper shredding system, which includes a receiving module, a shredding module, a determining module, a receiving module, and a transferring module. The receiving module receives user-inputted interactive information via an interactive unit, including user information and instruction information. The shredding module, when the interactive information is verified by a secure access server, places the file to be processed into a file shredding chamber and shreds the file using the shredding unit in the shredding chamber. The determining module, upon receiving a stop shredding instruction, determines a first target insert that is idle from a plurality of inserts. The receiving module, via a track moving unit, transfers the first target insert to a target position through a target channel to receive the retained file, which is a file to be processed that has not yet been shredded. The transferring module stores the user information corresponding to the retained file in the first target insert and transfers the first target insert carrying the retained file to a retained storage chamber.
[0014] Fourthly, embodiments of this application provide an electronic device, which includes a processor, a memory, and a program stored in the memory and executable on the processor.

[0017] This application provides an automatic paper shredder, method, system, electronic device, medium, and program product. Each user needs to authenticate their identity through an interactive unit when using the paper shredder to ensure that each user's files are processed and stored independently. In the event of an interruption in the batch processing of user files, resulting in residual files in the file shredding chamber, each residual file can be independently stored in the residual storage chamber through a track moving unit and a shredder lever. When a user retrieves their historical incomplete residual files, they need to verify through the interactive unit to ensure the confidentiality and security of the files.
[0018] Furthermore, to prevent excessive storage of files in the storage bin from affecting subsequent user operations, the interactive unit will promptly remind the administrator to handle the situation when the proportion of files in the storage bin exceeds a preset threshold. After the administrator verifies the information, the chip ejector will pop out the corresponding file and transfer it to the packaging and encapsulation component via the track movement unit to obtain a sealed file. The administrator can then retrieve the sealed files for safekeeping, thereby freeing up space inside the storage bin. Attached Figure Description

[0029] The features and exemplary embodiments of various aspects of this application will be described in detail below. To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only intended to explain this application and not to limit it. For those skilled in the art, this application can be implemented without some of these specific details. The following description of the embodiments is merely to provide a better understanding of this application by illustrating examples.
[0030] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used merely to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitations, an element defined by the phrase "comprising..." does not exclude the presence of additional identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes the element.
[0031] To address the problems of the prior art, embodiments of this application provide an automatic paper shredder, method, system, electronic device, medium, and program product.
[0032] The following is a description of an automatic paper shredder provided in an embodiment of this application.
[0033] A structural diagram of an automatic paper shredder provided in this application is shown below. Figure 1 As shown, the automatic paper shredder includes a document shredding chamber 1, an interaction unit, and a storage chamber 2. The document shredding chamber 1 is used to receive documents to be processed and has a shredding unit inside to shred the documents. The interaction unit is used to receive input interaction information, including user information and instruction information. It is understood that since the automatic paper shredder is used in a public environment, in order to ensure the privacy of each user during the paper shredding process and prevent privacy leaks, users need to verify their information based on the interaction unit when shredding.
[0034] Specifically, the storage compartment 2 and the file shredding compartment 1 are connected to form a target channel. A track moving unit 21 is provided within the target channel. The storage compartment 2 contains multiple insert switches 22, which are used to store retained files and corresponding user information. The retained files are files that have not yet undergone shredding. The insert switches 22 are configured to store user information. Multiple insert switches 22 are slidably stacked along the height of the storage compartment 2. The insert switches 22 are constructed so that they can pop out horizontally and connect with the track moving unit 21.
[0035] Understandably, the track moving unit 21 can move within the target channel to transfer the retained documents. In the event of an interruption in the user's shredding operation, the user does not need to retrieve the retained documents that have not been completely shredded. The automatic shredding device will assign a corresponding insert plate 22 to the user, and the assigned insert plate 22 can record the corresponding user information to establish a mapping relationship between the retained documents and the user, making it easier for the user to accurately retrieve the retained documents again. Based on this, the cooperation between the retained storage bin 2, the insert plate 22 and the track moving unit 21 can ensure that the information of the retained documents is not leaked.
[0036] In one example, such as Figure 1 As shown, the document shredding chamber 1 is equipped with a face recognition area 7 and a login button area 8. When using this automatic paper shredder to shred documents, users can verify their information based on the login button area 8 and the face recognition area 7.
[0037] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 The automatic paper shredder also includes a packaging and sealing component 3, which is located on the travel route of the track moving unit 21. When the number of documents remaining in the storage bin 2 exceeds a preset threshold, the remaining documents are processed into sealed documents by the packaging and sealing component 3.
[0038] Understandably, when there are too many stagnant documents stored in the stagnant storage bin 2, it is necessary to clean up the stagnant documents in the stagnant storage bin 2 to free up available space, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the automatic paper shredder. During the process of freeing up the internal space of the stagnant storage bin 2, in order to avoid the leakage of information from the stagnant documents, it is necessary to encapsulate the stagnant documents. Based on this, the packaging and encapsulation component 3 is set on the travel route of the track moving unit 21, and the stagnant documents can be transferred to the packaging and encapsulation component 3 for packaging processing via the track moving unit 21.
[0039] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 The automatic shredding device also includes a document confirmation compartment 4 and a document confirmation unit. The document shredding compartment 1 has a waste bin 5 connected to it on one side, and a document dispensing port 11 on its top. The waste bin 5 is adjacent to the retention storage compartment 2. A transfer compartment 6 is formed on one side of the retention storage compartment 2. The packaging and sealing assembly 3 is located on top of the transfer compartment 6, adjacent to the document confirmation compartment 4. The document confirmation unit is connected to the target channel to receive documents to be dispatched via the target channel. The documents to be dispatched include retained documents and sealed documents. The document confirmation unit includes a document confirmation plate, which is configured to verify user-input interactive information against the user information stored in the corresponding insert switch 22.
[0040] Understandably, when a user wants to shred a file, they place the file to be shredded into the shredding chamber 1 through the file delivery port 11. After being shredded, the file enters the waste bin 5, and the transfer chamber 6 is located in the aforementioned target channel to provide transfer space for any remaining files. When retrieving any remaining files, the packaging and encapsulation component 3 can be used to encapsulate the files, thereby preventing the leakage of information within the files. Furthermore, to improve file privacy, a file verification board can be used to verify the remaining files.
[0041] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 The top of the storage compartment 2 contains a number of insert clips 22 to hold and separate incomplete broken documents. The first side of the insert clip 22 is provided with at least one clamping member 23, which includes a main body and an elastic moving part. The elastic moving part is elastically connected to the main body to clamp the documents.
[0042] It is understood that the insert lever 22 can move and carry the detained documents under the action of the aforementioned track moving unit 21. Each detained document can be carried by the insert lever 22 and placed in the detained storage compartment 2. During the storage of the detained documents, the cooperation between the main body and the elastic moving part in the clamping member 23 can ensure that the detained documents are stably stored in the detained storage compartment 2.
[0043] This application also provides an automatic paper shredding method, which includes:
[0044] S110. Receive user input interaction information through the interaction unit. The interaction information includes user information and instruction information.
[0045] S120. When the interactive information is verified by the secure access server, the file to be processed is placed into the file crushing chamber 1, and the file is crushed by the crushing unit in the file crushing chamber 1.
[0046] S130. Upon receiving a stop crushing command, determine a first target insert switch that is in an idle state from among multiple insert switch switches 22.
[0047] S140. The first target insert is moved to the target position via the target channel by the track moving unit 21 to receive the retained documents, which are documents that have not been crushed and are yet to be processed.
[0048] S150. Store the user information corresponding to the retained file into the first target insert file, and transfer the first target insert file containing the retained file to the retained storage compartment 2.
[0049] In this embodiment, when a user performs document shredding in a public office area using the aforementioned automatic shredder, they need to verify their information through an interactive unit. Since the user may need to leave during the process, and to ensure the confidentiality of the shredded documents, the user needs to monitor the entire shredding process. Therefore, in related technologies, users who need to leave midway often need to remove the documents to be shredded from the automatic shredder. It is understood that, since the automatic shredder of this application is equipped with a retention storage compartment 2, the user can input instructions to transfer the remaining documents to be processed to the retention storage compartment 2 for safekeeping.
[0050] Specifically, when a user needs to leave midway to stop the current file crushing process, they can enter a stop crushing command. The system will determine a first target insert slot that is in an idle state from multiple insert slots 22, and transfer and store the remaining file to the remaining storage bin 2 through the first target insert slot and the track moving unit 21.
[0051] In some embodiments, the automatic paper shredding method further includes:
[0052] S210. Query the storage status of the files in the storage bin 2 through the secure access server.
[0053] S220. When the storage state is in the temporary storage state, based on the target user information corresponding to the unfinished task information, determine the second target insert slot corresponding to the target user information from multiple insert slots 22.
[0054] S230: The residual file corresponding to the target user information is popped out by using the second target insert switch.
[0055] S240. The retained documents corresponding to the target user information are transferred to the document confirmation warehouse 4 via the track moving unit 21 for outbound verification.
[0056] In this embodiment, the storage status of the retained files includes a temporary storage status and a packaged status. When a user needs to retrieve a retained file stored in the retained storage compartment 2, the user can first verify the information through the interaction unit. Since the retained files may be in different storage statuses, the user can query the storage status of the retained files through the secure access server when retrieving the retained files. It is understood that when the storage status is temporary, the retained files are still stored inside the retained storage compartment 2. The corresponding retained files can be retrieved through the cooperation of the second target insert lever and the track moving unit 21.
[0057] In some embodiments, the automatic paper shredding method further includes:
[0058] S310. If the volume of the retained files in the retained storage 2 exceeds the preset threshold for the capacity of the retained storage 2, the retained files are changed from temporary storage to packaged storage.
[0059] S320. Upon receiving a packaging instruction from the user, the multiple insert switches 22 and their corresponding stored files in the storage compartment 2 are ejected one by one.
[0060] S330, The insert switch 22 and the retained document are sent into the packaging and encapsulation component 3 via the track moving unit 21.
[0061] S340. Select a suitable packaging bag according to the paper thickness and paper shape of the retained documents, and seal the retained documents by packaging and sealing component 3 to obtain the sealed documents.
[0062] S350: The sealed documents are transferred to the document confirmation compartment 4 via the track moving unit 21 for the administrator to retrieve.
[0063] In this embodiment of the application, when the volume of the retained files in the retained storage 2 exceeds a preset threshold, the retained files in the retained storage 2 need to be packaged to release the available space in the retained storage 2. In order to avoid the leakage of information of the retained files during the process of releasing the internal space of the retained storage 2, the retained files can be packaged based on the packaging component 3. After the retained files are packaged, they can be transferred to the file confirmation ward for verification and retrieved by the administrator.
[0064] In some embodiments, after S340, the automatic shredding method further includes:
[0065] S341. Extract the user information stored in the insert slide 22 corresponding to the archived file and mark it as the target user information.
[0066] S342. Print the target user information on the outer surface of the sealed document to facilitate information verification of the sealed document.
[0067] S343. Clear the user information stored in the insert slot 22 corresponding to the sealed file, and transfer the insert slot 22 corresponding to the sealed file to the storage compartment 2 via the track moving unit 21.
[0068] In this embodiment, it is understood that when the volume of the retained files in the retained storage compartment 2 exceeds a preset threshold relative to the capacity of the retained storage compartment 2, after the retained files are packaged into sealed files, the sealed files are collected in large quantities by the administrator. Therefore, to facilitate user identification of the sealed files, marking processing can be performed on the outer surface of the sealed files. Specifically, the user information stored in the insert switch 22 can be marked as target user information, and the target user information can be printed on the outer surface of the sealed files.
[0069] Furthermore, since the insert file 22 corresponding to the archived file can be transferred to the retention storage 2 for future retrieval, and the insert file 22 needs to store new user information when it is retrieved next time, the user information currently stored in the insert file 22 needs to be cleared after the retention file on the insert file 22 is taken out.
[0070] This application also provides an automatic paper shredding system 400, such as... Figure 5 As shown, the automatic paper shredder 400 may include the following modules:
[0071] The receiving module 410 is used to receive interactive information input by the user through the interactive unit. The interactive information includes user information and instruction information.
[0072] The crushing module 420, when the interaction information is verified by the secure access server, puts the file to be processed into the file crushing chamber 1, and crushes the file through the crushing unit in the file crushing chamber 1.
[0073] Upon receiving a stop crushing command, the determination module 430 identifies a first target insert slot that is in an idle state from among multiple insert slots 22.
[0074] The receiving module 440 uses the track moving unit 21 to transfer the first target insert to the target position via the target channel to receive the retained file, which is a file that has not yet been crushed.
[0075] The transfer module 450 stores the user information corresponding to the retained file into the first target insert file and transfers the first target insert file containing the retained file to the retained storage compartment 2.
[0076] According to embodiments of this application, any multiple modules among the receiving module 410, crushing module 420, determining module 430, receiving module 440, and transferring module 450 can be combined into one module, or any one of these modules can be split into multiple modules. Alternatively, at least some of the functions of one or more of these modules can be combined with at least some of the functions of other modules and implemented in one module.
[0077] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 6 The automatic shredder system 400 may further include a first dispensing module 460, which may be specifically used for:
[0078] Query the storage status of the files in storage bin 2 by accessing the secure server.
[0079] When the storage state is in the temporary state, based on the target user information corresponding to the incomplete task information, the second target insert slot corresponding to the target user information is determined from multiple insert slots 22.
[0080] The residual file corresponding to the target user information is popped up by using the second target insert switch.
[0081] The retained documents corresponding to the target user information are transferred to the document confirmation warehouse 4 via the track moving unit 21 for outbound verification.
[0082] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 6 The automatic shredder system 400 may also include a second dispensing module 470, which can be specifically used for:
[0083] If the volume of the files stored in storage 2 exceeds a preset threshold, the files will be changed from temporary storage to packaged storage.
[0084] Upon receiving a packaging instruction from the user, the multiple inserts 22 and their corresponding files in the storage compartment 2 are ejected one by one.
[0085] The insert switch 22 and the retained file are sent into the packaging and encapsulation component 3 via the track moving unit 21.
[0086] Select a suitable packaging bag based on the paper thickness and shape of the retained documents, and seal the retained documents using the packaging and sealing component 3 to obtain the sealed documents.
[0087] The sealed documents are transferred to the document confirmation compartment 4 via the track moving unit 21 for the administrator to retrieve.
[0088] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 6 The automatic shredder system 400 may also include an information processing module 480, which may be specifically used for:
[0089] Extract the user information stored in the insert file 22 corresponding to the archived file, and mark it as the target user information.
[0090] Print the target user's information on the outer surface of the sealed document to facilitate information verification.
[0091] The user information stored in the insert slot 22 corresponding to the sealed file is cleared, and the insert slot 22 corresponding to the sealed file is transferred to the storage compartment 2 via the track moving unit 21.
