[0059] In a specific application example, the management of the virtual storage warehouse according to the status of the virtual storage warehouse includes: deposit operation, after receiving the deposit operation instruction, the unmanned delivery system sends a request link; the delivery address and delivery time are input through the request link; the unmanned delivery system issues a control instruction according to the delivery address and delivery time, so that the unmanned delivery unit with matching actual storage space receives the items according to the control instruction.

[0060] In a specific application example, the present invention manages the virtual storage warehouse according to the state of the virtual storage warehouse, including: a retrieval operation. After receiving the instruction for the retrieval operation, the unmanned delivery system sends a request link to the user; the delivery address and delivery time are input through the request link; the unmanned delivery system issues a control instruction according to the delivery address and delivery time, so that the unmanned delivery unit with matching actual storage space completes the retrieval of items according to the control instruction.

[0061] In a specific application instance, the virtual storage warehouse is identified as the logistics address, and the logistics address is filled into the logistics system; when the logistics system is delivering items, it directly sends a request for delivery information to the unmanned delivery system; the unmanned delivery system determines whether there is actual storage space available, and if there is actual storage space available, it is automatically matched to the virtual storage warehouse, and the feedback logistics system completes the reception, and sends information to remind and display the storage status of the items.

[0062] According to the above principles of the present invention, in another embodiment, the present invention may also provide a storage space allocation method based on an unmanned delivery system, which includes:

[0063] An item storage request is sent to the unmanned delivery system, and the unmanned delivery system allocates a target storage space for the item corresponding to the item storage request, and binds the target storage space to a virtual storage warehouse identifier corresponding to the user of the item storage request.

[0064] In a specific application example, before sending the item storage request to the unmanned delivery system, the process includes:

[0065] A registration request from a user is received, and a virtual storage bin is allocated to the user, wherein the virtual storage bin has a unique virtual storage bin identifier.

[0066] In a specific application example, the sending of the item storage request to the unmanned delivery system, the unmanned delivery system allocating a target storage space for the item corresponding to the item storage request, and binding the target storage space with the virtual storage warehouse identifier corresponding to the user of the item storage request, includes:

[0067] A binding time request from a user is received, and the target storage space is bound to the virtual storage warehouse identifier according to a binding time corresponding to the binding time request.

[0068] like Figure 2 As shown, when the present invention is applied in a specific manner, its detailed operation process includes:

[0069] User registration account information;

[0070] Allocate a virtual storage bin for the user's account information and display the virtual storage bin status on the terminal device;

[0071] The virtual storage warehouse corresponds to an actual storage space of an unmanned distribution system;

[0072] Users manage virtual storage warehouses according to the virtual storage warehouse status.

[0073] Furthermore, the terminal device can be a computer, platform computer, mobile phone, etc. according to actual needs, and registration and use can be completed through APP or WeChat mini-programs.

[0074] Furthermore, the unmanned delivery system includes an unmanned delivery unit (unmanned vehicle or unmanned drone or unmanned post), and an unmanned delivery management system. The unmanned delivery unit (unmanned vehicle or unmanned drone or unmanned post) has an actual storage space that can be used to store items, such as a storage cabinet or storage compartment.

[0075] Furthermore, the virtual storage warehouse has a unique virtual storage warehouse identifier with user registration information, and the virtual storage warehouse identifier is used for real-time matching with actual storage space in the unmanned distribution system.

[0076] Furthermore, each actual storage space in the unmanned delivery system has a specific and unique storage space serial number, which is a string of specific and unique characters.

[0077] See also Figure 3 In a specific application example, the process of real-time matching of the virtual storage warehouse identifier with the actual storage space includes:

[0078] The waiting state of the virtual storage warehouse is obtained; the user opens the APP or WeChat applet, the virtual storage warehouse is displayed on the terminal device, and the user clicks on the virtual storage warehouse to operate.

[0079] If there is actual storage space available in the unmanned delivery system, a storage space serial number of the actual storage space available is automatically allocated, and the storage space serial number of the actual storage space available is matched and bound with the virtual storage warehouse identifier; the virtual storage warehouse status is displayed as an empty warehouse status on the user terminal device;

[0080] If there is no actual storage space available in the unmanned delivery system, the virtual storage warehouse status will be displayed as full on the user terminal device.

[0081] See also Figure 4 In another specific application example, the process of real-time matching of the virtual storage warehouse identifier with the actual storage space includes:

[0082] The standby status of the virtual storage warehouse is obtained; the user opens the APP program, the virtual storage warehouse is displayed on the terminal device, and the user clicks on the virtual storage warehouse to operate.

[0083] The user enters the volume or size of the items to be placed; it should be noted that the number of items can also be entered, but the total volume or total size of one or more items needs to be entered. The user completes the input on the APP or WeChat applet of the terminal device.

[0084] Search whether there is actual storage space available in the unmanned delivery system; if so, automatically allocate a storage space serial number for the actual storage space available, and match and bind this storage space serial number for the actual storage space available with the virtual storage warehouse identifier; display the virtual storage warehouse status as an empty warehouse status on the user terminal device; if there is no actual storage space available in the unmanned delivery system, display the virtual storage warehouse status as a full warehouse status on the user terminal device.

[0085] In a preferred embodiment, a user can rent or use an actual storage space for a long term, and the user's virtual storage warehouse is in a long-term matching and binding state with the actual storage space. The actual storage space no longer enters a matching state with other users' virtual storage warehouses. In this way, it is equivalent to the user having a long-term storage warehouse in the unmanned delivery system, which can be managed by the user himself, which is particularly convenient for users with large delivery quantities and long-term usage needs.

[0086] In a specific application instance, the user manages the virtual storage warehouse according to the status of the virtual storage warehouse, including: deposit operations. After receiving the deposit operation instruction, the unmanned delivery system sends a request link to the user; the user enters the delivery address and delivery time through the request link; the unmanned delivery system issues control instructions according to the delivery address and delivery time, so that the unmanned delivery unit with actual storage space matching the user receives the items according to the control instructions.

[0087] In a specific application example, the user manages the virtual storage warehouse according to the virtual storage warehouse status, including: taking out operation, after receiving the instruction of taking out operation, the unmanned delivery system sends a request link to the user; the user enters the delivery address and delivery time through the request link; the unmanned delivery system issues a control instruction according to the delivery address and delivery time, so that the unmanned delivery unit with actual storage space matching the user can complete the item taking out according to the control instruction. It can be understood that the user can also let others complete the taking out by operating the APP on the terminal device.

[0088] In a specific application example, the virtual storage warehouse identifier is used as the logistics address, and the user fills the logistics address into the logistics system; when the logistics system is delivering items, it directly sends a request for delivery information to the unmanned delivery system; the unmanned delivery system determines whether there is actual storage space available, and if there is actual storage space available, it automatically matches the virtual storage warehouse matched by the user, and feedback to the logistics system to complete the reception, and send information to the user, reminding and displaying the storage status of the items on the user's terminal device. The logistics system refers to a general logistics delivery system, such as the logistics delivery systems of SF Express, Cainiao, and ZTO.

[0089] In a specific application example, the virtual storage warehouse is displayed as a container on the terminal device. For example, on the APP or WeChat applet of the terminal device, the container is displayed as a glass container through the GUI. When there are items, a display of the contents appears in the container, indicating that there are items inside; when there are no items, the container is displayed as an empty glass container.
