[0033] It should be noted that the modifications of "one" and "plurality" mentioned in the present disclosure are illustrative rather than restrictive, and those skilled in the art should understand that unless otherwise clearly indicated in the context, it should be understood as "one or more".

[0034] The names of the messages or information exchanged between multiple devices in the embodiments of the present disclosure are only used for illustrative purposes and are not used to limit the scope of these messages or information.

[0035] The present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in conjunction with embodiments.

[0036] Figure 1 The process 100 of some embodiments of the control method for a self-collection cabinet according to the present disclosure is shown. The control method includes the following steps:

[0037] Step 101, in response to detecting a pickup operation representing taking out goods, determining target consignee information indicated by the pickup operation.

[0038] In some embodiments, when the execution subject of the control method for the self-pickup cabinet (e.g., the controller in the self-pickup cabinet) detects a pickup operation representing the removal of goods, it can determine the target consignee information indicated by the pickup operation. Here, the operation mode of the pickup operation is not limited. As an example, the user can log in personal information on the touch screen of the self-pickup cabinet, or can trigger the pickup control on the touch screen, and then enter the pickup code information. The execution subject can search for relevant express information based on the information entered by the user. And the consignee information in the relevant express information found can be determined as the target consignee information.

[0039] Step 102, query the candidate goods whose consignee information is the target consignee information in the self-collection cabinet, and determine the attribute information of the candidate goods.

[0040] In some embodiments, based on the target consignee information determined in step 101, the execution entity can query the candidate goods in the self-collection cabinet whose consignee information is the target consignee information. That is to say, for each express currently stored in the self-collection cabinet, the execution entity can query all express goods belonging to the same target consignee. Then, the attribute information of these candidate goods can be determined. Among them, the attribute information can be information that characterizes the attributes of the goods, which is also not limited here. For example, it can be at least one of the following: quantity, volume, weight, etc.

[0041] It should be noted that, for the goods indicated by the pickup operation, the execution subject may determine it as the target goods. And other goods with the same consignee queried may be determined as candidate goods. Optionally, in order to facilitate the statistical property information, the execution subject may also determine the goods indicated by the pickup operation as candidate goods together with the above-mentioned other goods.

[0042] In addition, for other goods of the same consignee, for safety reasons, the user may also be required to perform a pickup operation before taking them out. This can avoid the occurrence of missed goods. In some embodiments, in order to improve the efficiency of picking up goods, the execution body may also allow the user to take out all candidate goods when any pickup operation is detected.

[0043] Step 103, in response to determining that the attribute information of the candidate goods exceeds a preset value, generating and displaying a prompt message for using a cart.

[0044] In some embodiments, the execution entity may determine whether the attribute information of the candidate goods exceeds a preset value. If it exceeds the preset value, a prompt message that a cart can be used may be generated. And the prompt message may be displayed on the touch screen. In this way, the user who picks up the goods may determine whether to use a cart according to their actual situation. As an example, the prompt message may also be used to characterize the requirements for using the cart. That is, the prompt message may be used to prompt the user that the cart can be used and the requirements for using the cart, such as the free use time and the billing rules for exceeding the time.

[0045] It can be seen from the above description that the control method for the self-pickup cabinet of some embodiments of the present disclosure can query all the goods of the consignee currently stored in the self-pickup cabinet according to the consignee information at the time of picking up the goods. Then determine whether the attribute information of these goods exceeds the preset value. If it exceeds the preset value, a prompt message that a cart can be used can be displayed to the pickup user. In this way, the pickup user can decide whether to use the cart stored in the self-pickup cabinet according to his or her actual situation. In other words, unlike traditional self-pickup cabinets, a cart is also placed in the self-pickup cabinet of the present disclosure. This can help users complete the self-pickup of goods at one time and solve the above problems. Thereby helping to increase the utilization rate of the self-pickup cabinet and the number of users using it.

[0046] In some embodiments, if the execution subject detects a selection operation representing the use of a cart, the door of the compartment where the cart is stored can be controlled to open based on the selection operation. For example, if the user chooses to use the cart, the execution subject can control the compartment door where the cart is stored to open so that the user can take it out for use.

[0047] For another example, if the execution subject detects the first feedback operation on the above prompt information, the cart acquisition page can be displayed. The first feedback operation can be used to indicate the use of the cart. As an example, the page displaying the prompt information can be provided with a selection control representing use and non-use. In this case, if the user triggers the selection control representing use, it means that the first feedback operation is detected. At this time, the execution subject can display the cart acquisition page on the touch screen, such as Figure 3A The deposit payment page shown in .

[0048] Here, if the execution subject determines that the user has successfully executed the acquisition operation in the cart acquisition page, such as the deposit payment is successful, the door of the compartment where the cart is stored can be controlled to open. This can ensure that the user returns the cart according to the usage requirements and avoid the loss of the cart.

[0049] In some embodiments, at least one foldable cart can be stored in the self-service cabinet. In addition, in order to facilitate users to take and return, the cart can be stored at the bottom of the self-service cabinet, such as Figure 4A and Figure 4BAt the same time, the cart can be equipped with an electronic sensing component. Figure 4C As shown, the electronic sensing component D can be used to communicate with the self-pickup cabinet (i.e., the execution subject). Among them, the electronic sensing component can communicate with the self-pickup cabinet based on near field. Each electronic sensing component has a unique identity. In this way, the cart can be bound to the self-pickup cabinet through the electronic sensing component, that is, an association relationship is established. When the self-pickup cabinet communicates with the electronic sensing component, the ownership of the cart can be determined.

[0050] In this case, if the execution subject determines that the user's acquisition operation is successful, the electronic sensing component on the cart can be detected. If the electronic sensing component is detected, the identification and storage location of the cart indicated by the electronic sensing component can be determined. At this time, the door of the compartment indicated by the storage location can be opened. And the start time of use of the cart indicated by the identification can be recorded.

[0051] As an example, Figure 3A In the application scenario shown, the user can "log in" or "enter the pickup code" on the touch screen of the self-pickup cabinet to perform the pickup operation. The self-pickup cabinet (the controller inside it) can query the user (i.e., the recipient) through the login information or the account associated with the pickup code. Then the user (recipient) can identify the quantity and cargo code (such as SKU, Stock Keeping Unit, i.e., inventory unit) of the goods stored in this self-pickup cabinet. The self-pickup cabinet can query the cargo information and obtain the specifications of the goods (such as weight) through the cargo code. Then identify whether the user's purchase quantity is greater than 5 pieces, or whether the overall cargo weight (total weight) exceeds 50 kilograms. If the quantity or weight limit is exceeded, the self-pickup cabinet can prompt that the cart can be used to transport the items, and display the free use time and overtime billing rules. If the quantity or weight limit is not exceeded, no prompts need to be displayed, and the self-pickup cabinet can execute the original pickup process.

[0052] After that, when the user chooses to use the cart, the self-collection cabinet can pop up a payment QR code page to wait for the user to pay in order to collect the deposit. The self-collection cabinet can identify the user's payment behavior and determine whether to choose to pay. If the user does not pay, the self-collection cabinet can hide the payment page and execute the original pickup process. When the user pays successfully, the self-collection cabinet can open the door of the storage cart and start the usage timer. At the same time, the self-collection cabinet can open the corresponding door of the storage cargo. In this way, the user can use the cart to take away all the cargo, and the process ends.

[0053] Continue to see Figure 2 , which shows a process 200 of some other embodiments of the control method for a self-collection cabinet according to the present disclosure. The method comprises the following steps:

[0054] Step 201, in response to detecting a cart return operation indicative of returning a cart, identifying an electronic sensing component of a cart located around a self-service cabinet.

[0055] In some embodiments, if a return operation is detected, the electronic sensing components of the carts located around the self-pickup cabinet can be identified. The operation method of the return operation is also not limited here. For example, a control representing the return of the cart can be triggered on the touch screen of the self-pickup cabinet. Based on the identification result, the return process can be executed.

[0056] Step 202, in response to determining that the identified electronic sensing component is associated with the self-pickup cabinet, determine the return storage location of the cart based on the identified electronic sensing component.

[0057] In some embodiments, if an electronic sensing component is identified, the execution subject can determine whether there is an association relationship between the identified electronic sensing component and the self-pickup cabinet. That is, determine whether the cart indicated by the identified electronic sensing component belongs to the self-pickup cabinet. Here, if there is an association relationship between the identified electronic sensing component and the self-pickup cabinet, the return storage location of the cart can be determined based on the identified electronic sensing component.

[0058] Step 203, opening the door of the cell indicated by the return storage location.

[0059] In some embodiments, based on the return storage location determined in step 202, the execution entity may open the door of the compartment indicated by the return storage location, so that the user can place the returned cart in the compartment.

[0060] Step 204, in response to determining that the cart is stored in the compartment and the compartment door is closed, it is determined that the cart return is completed.

[0061] In some embodiments, the execution entity may determine that the user has returned the cart if it determines that the cart is stored in the compartment and detects that the compartment door is closed.

[0062] In some embodiments, if the user pays a deposit when choosing to use the cart, the execution entity may also query the usage when returning the cart. Specifically, first, the execution entity may also query the user information and start time of the cart indicated by the identified electronic sensing component. Afterwards, based on the start time of use, the execution entity may determine whether the usage time of the cart exceeds a preset time. The usage time here is usually the time between the start time of use and the time when the cart is returned. Then, if it is determined that the preset time is exceeded, the execution entity may prompt the user with information indicating the value of use. For example, the information may be displayed on a touch screen.

[0063] As an example, Figure 3BIn the application scenario shown, the user selects the operation of returning the cart on the operating interface (i.e., touch screen) of the self-pickup cabinet. Then, the self-pickup cabinet (the controller inside it) can identify the electronic sensing components of the nearby carts and query the corresponding user and the time of borrowing. After that, the self-pickup cabinet can determine whether it is within the free time range. If the return is made within the free time range, the self-pickup cabinet can open the door of the corresponding storage cart. If the return is not made within the free time range, the self-pickup cabinet can remind the user of the timeout, and inform the user of the usage time and the amount to be deducted.

[0064] Next, the user can store the cart and close the door. The self-collection cabinet can check the storage status. For example, when the door is closed, the electronic sensing component of the cart can be identified again. And whether the communication distance with the electronic sensing component has changed is detected. If the communication distance remains unchanged, it means that the cart has been placed in the compartment. After the inspection is completed, the self-collection cabinet can refund the corresponding amount of deposit, and the user leaves, and the process ends.

[0065] The control method for the self-collection cabinet disclosed in the present invention further enriches and improves the control process of returning the cart, so that the self-collection cabinet can better meet the actual use needs, help to increase the utilization rate of the self-collection cabinet, and expand the scope of people who are applicable to the self-collection cabinet.

[0066] The embodiment of the present disclosure also provides a self-service cabinet. Figure 4A and Figure 4B As shown, the self-service cabinet may include a cabinet body 11, a touch screen 12, at least one cart 13 and a controller. The cabinet body 11 is provided with a plurality of compartments for storing goods. And the compartments are also provided with compartment doors. The touch screen 12 may be installed on the outer surface of the cabinet body 11 for receiving and displaying information. At least one cart 13 may be stored in the compartments G1 and G2 of the self-service cabinet. In addition, the controller may be arranged inside the cabinet body 11. The controller may be used to adopt the above Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the embodiment, the control method described in any implementation is used to control the operation of the self-pickup cabinet.
