Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the fields of intelligent transportation and new retail technology. Specifically, it relates to a system architecture and operation method that deeply integrates an automated vending system into the interior and roof space of a passenger vehicle to realize instant retail while on the move. Background Technology

[0002] Shared mobility has become an important part of urban transportation, and the time passengers spend in vehicles constitutes a closed, underdeveloped potential consumption scenario. Currently, there are two main attempts to introduce retail functions into vehicles: one is to install fixed shelves in buses, which limits product display, has a complex replenishment process and relies on manual inventory, lacks intelligent interaction and convenient payment, resulting in a poor user experience; the other is to place open snack baskets in ride-hailing vehicles, which suffers from chaotic product management (easy to lose or expire), inconvenient payment (mainly relying on QR code scanning), seriously encroaches on already limited passenger space (such as armrests and seat gaps), and creates blind spots in food safety supervision. Essentially, both methods simply transplant a static retail model to a dynamic space, failing to address the core contradictions of space occupation, dynamic and safe delivery, and integration with the travel process.

[0003] In addition, although traditional roadside or fixed-point vending machines are highly automated, they cannot move with users and cannot meet users' immediate and random consumption needs during their journey (such as thirst, motion sickness, or low phone battery).

[0004] Therefore, existing technical solutions have significant shortcomings in terms of space utilization efficiency, user experience, intelligent operation, and deep integration with mobile travel scenarios. There is an urgent need for an innovative and systematic solution that can transform the vehicle itself into an intelligent, safe, and efficient mobile retail terminal. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This invention aims to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies and provide a highly integrated and intelligent ride-hailing mobile retail system and method. Its core lies in reconstructing the vehicle itself into a mobile micro-retail terminal. By cleverly utilizing redundant or modifiable spaces such as the roof, doors, and center console to deploy vending units, and combining this with an intelligent control system, it achieves safe and accurate delivery of goods whether the vehicle is moving or stationary, ultimately constructing a new business ecosystem integrating transportation, warehousing, sales, and service.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows: Firstly, a mobile retail system integrated into ride-hailing services. The system includes: a vehicle carrier module, a distributed vending unit module, an intelligent control and interaction module, and a cloud service platform.

[0007] 1. Vehicle Carrier Module: Refers to passenger vehicles such as ride-hailing vehicles and taxis that have undergone adaptive modifications or designs. Based on the integration of the vending unit, especially the roof-mounted compartment, this module includes at least one of the following vehicle types: Split-type rear-cabin models: Independent rear-cabin vending cabinets are installed on the exterior of the existing mass-produced vehicles using compliant brackets.

[0008] Integrated hatchback vehicle: During vehicle manufacturing, the roofline and hatchback structure are designed as an inseparable whole, with the sunroof or a specific opening serving as a fixed connecting component between the hatchback and the passenger compartment.

[0009] High-roof-cabin-specific models: These models are specially designed to optimize retail space. Their roof height is significantly increased, and the raised roof space is integrated with the rear cargo space to form a spacious "upper-level storage area inside the vehicle".

[0010] 2. Distributed vending unit module: This module consists of multiple independent vending units deployed at different locations on the vehicle, forming a miniature distributed warehousing network.

[0011] Main roof compartment unit: Located on the top of the vehicle (external or embedded), it is the main storage space. It features multi-zoned cargo aisles, precise cargo pushing / grabbing mechanisms (such as servo push rods and small robotic arms), a controllable bottom-mounted cargo door, and a temperature control system. It is connected to the passenger compartment via a roof-mounted connection mechanism (such as a sunroof or a dedicated electric sliding cover).

[0012] Door side cabinet units: Integrated into the interior panels of the front right door and rear door. Each unit is a compact vending machine with a small aisle, a mini pusher, and a retrieval opening facing inwards. Suitable for storing small, frequently used items (such as chewing gum, tissues, and charging cables).

[0013] Center console mini unit: Integrated into the vehicle's center console near the passenger compartment, it has fewer cargo aisles and is used to store emergency supplies or high-profit small commodities (such as motion sickness medicine and high-end snacks).

[0014] 3. Intelligent Control and Interaction Module: The vehicle-mounted integrated controller acts as the central control brain of the vehicle, responsible for receiving instructions from the cloud, coordinating and controlling the locking and dispensing actions of all vending units, and managing the internal transfer path of goods. For example, it controls the goods in the roof compartment to fall through the sunroof into a sliding secondary transfer mechanism inside the vehicle, which can transport the goods along the roof rails to above the rear passengers before falling down.

[0015] Multi-interactive interface: Physical interfaces: QR code scanning areas near each vending unit and vehicle-mounted touchscreens.

[0016] Digital Interface: A shopping page integrated into the ride-hailing platform app and a separate retail mini-program. The key innovation lies in the deep integration of the shopping entry point with the ride-hailing trip itinerary. When passengers view trip details or pay the fare after the trip, the system can intelligently recommend products based on trip data (such as duration and time period) and provide a one-click ordering option.

[0017] 4. Cloud service platform: Responsible for product information management, transaction processing, real-time inventory synchronization, and big data analysis (such as matching best-selling products to routes).

[0018] It includes a driver-side management backend, through which drivers can receive replenishment reminders, view sales data for each unit, remotely lock / unlock containers, report faults, and fulfill the responsibilities of "sales supervisor and replenishment worker".

[0019] Secondly, a mobile retail method based on the above system. The method includes the following steps: Shopping Trigger and Order Placement: Passengers can access the product list by scanning a QR code inside the vehicle, operating the in-vehicle screen, using a standalone sales mini-program, or through the trip record page of the ride-hailing app. The system provides personalized recommendations based on vehicle GPS location, real-time inventory, and passenger profiles (if authorized).

[0020] Intelligent order routing and execution: After receiving an order, the cloud platform automatically determines the optimal shipping unit based on the product SKU (e.g., large beverages are shipped from the roof compartment, and small snacks are shipped from the nearest door side cabinet).

[0021] Send an encrypted delivery instruction to the onboard integrated controller of the target vehicle.

[0022] After determining that the current vehicle movement meets safety conditions (such as not making sharp turns or sudden braking), the controller initiates the execution process. For cargo unloading from the roof compartment, the sunroof is opened first, and then the cargo unloading mechanism is activated, allowing the goods to be safely lowered into the designated receiving area in the passenger compartment via a guiding device.

[0023] Cargo pickup confirmation and feedback: Passengers pick up their goods. The system can confirm the pickup via weight sensors or an in-cabin camera (with desensitized features), completing the order loop.

[0024] Dynamic inventory management and replenishment: The system monitors the inventory of each unit in real time and pushes a replenishment task to the driver when the threshold is reached. When drivers change shifts or charge their vehicles, they go to the regional central warehouse or partner convenience stores and use the authorization code to open the vending unit to complete the replenishment. Beneficial effects

[0025] 1. Revolutionary improvement in space utilization: The multi-dimensional space, including the roof, doors, and center console, is utilized in a three-dimensional manner to achieve efficient reuse of the "storage-sales-passenger" space, with almost no occupation of the original passenger activity space.

[0026] 2. Seamless integration of consumer experience: Shopping is deeply embedded in the travel process, especially in combination with the "trip itinerary", which realizes a natural extension of the scenario from "hailing a ride" to "shopping", and the experience is smooth.

[0027] 3. High system flexibility and scalability: Provides complete solutions from aftermarket retrofit (split type) to OEM design (integrated, high roof compartment), adapting to the investment costs and business models of different operators.

[0028] 4. Maximizing operational efficiency and revenue: Distributed warehousing shortens the shipping path and improves response speed; intelligent order selection algorithms optimize warehousing efficiency; and it creates sustainable additional income for drivers, increasing the stickiness between the platform and drivers.

[0029] 5. High security: All shipping operations are equipped with vehicle status detection and mechanical interlocks to ensure safe and reliable transactions while the vehicle is in motion. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0036] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0037] Figure 1 The overall system architecture of this invention is illustrated. The system mainly consists of a vehicle carrier module 10, a distributed vending unit module 20, an intelligent control and interaction module 30, and a cloud service platform 40. The vehicle carrier module 10 is a passenger vehicle that has been adaptively modified or designed. The distributed vending unit module 20 includes a roof-mounted main compartment unit 21, door-side cabinet units 22, and a central control panel micro-unit 23, which are connected to the intelligent control and interaction module 30 via an in-vehicle network. The intelligent control and interaction module 30 includes an in-vehicle integrated controller and multiple interactive interfaces (such as an in-vehicle screen, a QR code scanning area, and an interface integrated into an APP). The cloud service platform 40 interacts with the vehicle via the network and is responsible for core business logic processing.

[0038] Figure 2 Three different roof-mounted main compartment integration solutions are demonstrated. Solution (a) is a split-compartment model, where an independent back cabinet 211 is added to the existing vehicle roof via a bracket. Solution (b) is an integrated roof-mounted model, where the back compartment 212 is integrally formed with the roof structure, and the cargo outlet is aligned with the sunroof 213. Solution (c) is a high-roof-only model, where the entire roof is raised to create ample storage space 214.

[0039] Figure 3 The physical layout of each vending unit inside the vehicle is shown. The main roof compartment 21 is located on the roof, the door side cabinets 22 are integrated into the interior panels of the front and rear doors, and the center console micro unit 23 is located on the side of the center console facing the passenger.

[0040] Figure 4 The document details the delivery path from the main cargo compartment on the roof to the passengers.

[0041] Figure 5The main steps of the mobile retail method of this invention are described. The process begins in step S501: Passengers initiate a shopping request by scanning an in-vehicle code, operating the in-vehicle screen, or using a ride-hailing app's trip log page. Step S502: The cloud service platform processes the payment and generates an order, determining the optimal delivery unit based on the product SKU, inventory distribution, vehicle location, and status. Step S503: The cloud sends an encrypted delivery instruction to the target vehicle. Step S504: The in-vehicle integrated controller receives the instruction and acquires real-time vehicle status data (such as speed and acceleration information from the CAN bus). Step S505: The controller determines whether the current vehicle status meets the safe delivery conditions (such as non-rapid acceleration or sharp turns). If not, it enters a waiting state until the conditions are met. If met, step S506 is executed: The controller controls the actuator of the target vending unit (such as the roof compartment or door side cabinet) to complete the delivery and transfer of goods. Step S507: The goods are confirmed to have been taken by a weight sensor or visual detection (after desensitization processing). Step S508: The order is completed, the system updates the inventory, and can trigger the replenishment process based on sales data.

[0042] Example 1: A modified ride-hailing system based on a split-type rear cabin and door side cabinet This embodiment provides an implementation plan suitable for the modification of existing ride-hailing vehicles in the aftermarket, focusing on low cost and rapid deployment.

[0043] 1. Vehicle carrier and vending unit configuration: Vehicle type: Commonly available standard sedan or SUV ride-hailing vehicle models.

[0044] Main back-cabin vending unit (split type): This is an independent, shuttle-shaped cabinet with multiple adjustable cargo channels. Each channel is equipped with a stepper motor-driven push rod as the dispensing mechanism. An electrically controlled dispensing door at the bottom of the back-cabin serves as the dispensing outlet. The back-cabin is securely mounted to the roof rack or reinforced roof structure via a dedicated bracket made of high-strength aluminum alloy. Power is supplied to the back-cabin via a separate circuit (with fuse and switch) connected to the vehicle's battery.

[0045] Connecting Mechanism: The vehicle's existing sunroof is used as the connecting mechanism. The installation position of the cargo hatch in the rear compartment has been precisely calculated to ensure that when it is opened, the cargo can fall into the vehicle through the open sunroof.

[0046] Door-side vending units: The interior panels of the passenger side and right rear door are modified to incorporate custom-made small vending cabinets. Each cabinet measures approximately 30cm high, 20cm wide, and 10cm deep, with 3-4 spiral or mini push-bar aisles for storing small items such as snacks, tissues, and masks. The retrieval opening is located below the armrest of the interior panel, making it relatively discreet and not encroaching on passenger space.

[0047] Central control unit: This embodiment does not include it to simplify initial modification.

[0048] 2. Intelligent control and interaction: Vehicle Integrated Controller: An industrial-grade embedded controller (such as one based on an ARM Cortex-M series chip) is installed inside the vehicle's center console. This controller reads vehicle speed, acceleration, and other status information via a CAN bus interface; controls various motors and electromagnetic locks in the rear compartment and door side cabinets via GPIO or RS485 bus; and integrates a 4G communication module for communication with the cloud.

[0049] Interactive interface: Primarily located inside the vehicle. Each door panel has a unique product QR code next to its access slot; a fixed bracket is installed on the back of the passenger seat to hold an approximately 7-inch waterproof touchscreen, which connects to the vehicle controller via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth to display all products, place orders, and make payments.

[0050] Cloud platform: Provides a basic SaaS service platform to manage products, process WeChat / Alipay payments, and record orders and inventory.

[0051] 3. Workflow: After boarding, passengers can scan the QR code on the side cabinet by the door or use the in-vehicle touchscreen to browse products and place an order for payment.

[0052] After the cloud platform confirms the payment, it will send the order (including the product SKU and the corresponding cargo lane number) to the vehicle controller of the target vehicle.

[0053] The controller first determines the location of the goods. If the goods are in the side cabinet of the door, it directly controls the motor of the corresponding cargo channel to push the goods to the retrieval port and lights up the LED indicator next to the retrieval port to indicate that the goods have been retrieved.

[0054] If the goods are in the roof compartment, the controller continuously monitors the vehicle's status via the CAN bus. A safe state is considered established when the vehicle speed is below 30 km / h and there is no severe lateral acceleration (such as during sharp turns) for more than 2 minutes. The controller first sends a "Preparing goods, please wait" message to the passenger screen, then controls the sunroof to open (if the vehicle supports bus control), followed by a command to open the lever of the corresponding cargo passage in the roof compartment and the bottom hatch. The goods then fall through the sunroof into a pre-installed, cushioned nylon retrieval bag inside the vehicle.

[0055] After the passenger takes the goods, the weight sensor in the side cabinet of the car door or the photoelectric sensor in the backpack bag sends a signal to the controller, which then reports "shipment completed" to the cloud, thus closing the order loop.

[0056] 4. Replenishment process: The driver's app displays the inventory of each locker. When the inventory falls below 20%, the app prompts the driver to go to a partner convenience store to restock.

[0057] At the convenience store, the driver generates a one-time authorization code using the driver's app. This code allows the driver to manually unlock the physical locks of the rear compartment and side cabinets to restock. After restocking, the driver scans the batch code of the newly added item on the app, and the system automatically updates the inventory.

[0058] Example 2: Pre-installed design system based on integrated back panel and in-vehicle secondary transfer mechanism This embodiment is geared towards pre-installed designs for automakers, pursuing a high degree of integration, automation, and passenger experience.

[0059] 1. Vehicle carrier and vending unit configuration: Vehicle carrier: A specially designed ride-hailing vehicle (such as a customized sedan or SUV ride-hailing vehicle).

[0060] Main rear-mounted vending unit (integrated): During the vehicle design phase, the rear structure of the roof is designed as an inseparable rear-mounted compartment. The rear-mounted compartment is connected to the passenger compartment roof via a reinforced, enlarged electric sunroof (or a dedicated electric sliding cover). The interior of the rear-mounted compartment is divided into a normal temperature zone and a refrigerated zone (using semiconductor cooling chips), and the cargo channels employ a precision servo push rod mechanism for high positioning accuracy.

[0061] The vehicle's secondary transfer mechanism: A concealed horizontal guide rail is integrated within the ceiling below the sunroof. A "transfer trolley," driven by a miniature stepper motor, slides along the rail. The trolley carries an electrically openable and closable cargo box to receive goods falling from the rear compartment.

[0062] Center console mini unit: A mini cabinet with three small lifting channels is designed on the center console facing the passenger side, for storing high-value items such as perfume samples and high-end headphones.

[0063] 2. Intelligent control and interaction: Vehicle Integrated Controller: As part of the vehicle domain controller, it boasts enhanced computing power and runs a lightweight Linux system. Deeply integrated with the vehicle's CAN network, it can acquire richer attitude sensor data.

[0064] Interactive Interface: Deeply integrated into the vehicle's original central control screen infotainment system. Passengers can shop through a dedicated "In-Vehicle Mall" application on the screen. Simultaneously, the shopping entry point is innovatively embedded as a "Recommended Products" card into the post-trip review page of the partner ride-hailing platform's app. The system recommends items such as hot drinks and umbrellas based on the trip's duration, time of day (e.g., nighttime), and weather (e.g., rainy days).

[0065] Cloud platform: It has big data analysis capabilities and can recommend different product configuration schemes (SKU optimization) for vehicles in different regions and at different times.

[0066] 3. Workflow: Passengers can place orders via the in-vehicle screen or ride-hailing app during or after their trip.

[0067] When routing orders on the cloud platform, priority is given to selecting the vending unit closest to the passenger's seat. For rear-seat passengers purchasing items from the back compartment, the system will select the "in-vehicle secondary delivery mechanism" for delivery.

[0068] Upon receiving the instruction, if the vehicle controller determines that the vehicle is in a stable condition, it will execute the following: a) Open the sunroof; b) Control the designated cargo channel in the back compartment to release the goods, which will fall into the cargo box of the conveyor trolley; c) Close the sunroof; d) Control the conveyor trolley to slide along the guide rail to the position above the rear passengers' heads; e) Open the bottom of the cargo box, and the goods will gently fall into the dedicated retrieval slot next to the cup holder in the rear center armrest.

[0069] Throughout the process, the in-vehicle large screen or rear entertainment screen can display and transmit animations, enhancing the sense of technology and the experience.

[0070] After the infrared sensor in the retrieval slot confirms the retrieval of goods, the conveyor trolley automatically returns to its original position.

[0071] Example 3: A system based on high-roof-cabin-specific vehicle models and distributed collaborative inventory management This embodiment is designed for high-end mobile retail scenarios, maximizing warehouse space and intelligent management.

[0072] 1. Vehicle carrier and vending unit configuration: Vehicle Carrier: The vehicle adopts a specially designed "high-roof cabin" commercial vehicle, with the roof being about 20-50 centimeters higher than that of ordinary models. The entire raised space is a sealed steel structure, forming a huge "upper storage area inside the vehicle".

[0073] Main back-of-house vending unit (high-roof type): The entire elevated space is divided into multiple independent storage zones, each equipped with independent shelves, a lightweight robotic arm (for grasping irregularly shaped goods), and a conveyor belt system. The loading port is located in the front ceiling of the compartment and is an electrically operated cover.

[0074] Distributed small units: In addition to the door side cabinets and the center console mini cabinet, this embodiment adds an "underfloor storage vending unit" under the floor between the first and second row seats. Goods are stored and retrieved via an electric lifting platform. It is used to store heavier items (such as cases of bottled water or travel sets).

[0075] Multi-functional pickup point: Two soft LED light strips run through the front and back of the carriage on both sides of the ceiling, and a universal "flexible pickup bag" is designed above the second and third rows of passengers to receive goods from different delivery routes.

[0076] 2. Intelligent control and interaction: Intelligent Control Subsystem: This is a distributed control system. A master controller coordinates multiple slave controllers (each managing the high-roof compartment, door cabinets, underfloor compartments, etc.). The master controller runs complex path planning algorithms.

[0077] Interaction and Recommendations: Passengers place orders via a mini-program on their personal mobile phones or on the in-vehicle screen. The system integrates the vehicle's real-time location (GPS), destination information (such as heading to the airport), and passenger historical preferences (with authorization) to make accurate recommendations. For example, if the system detects that the vehicle is about to enter a highway and the journey is long, it will push products such as coffee and neck pillows to the passenger.

[0078] Cloud platform: Enables true distributed inventory management. The cloud not only knows what goods are in each vehicle, but also the inventory quantity of the same goods in different vehicles in the same area, supporting simple "vehicle-to-vehicle" inventory transfer suggestions.

[0079] 3. Workflow and inventory coordination: After a passenger places an order, the cloud platform performs a "collaborative inventory check." For example, if a passenger buys a limited-edition beverage, bus A may be sold out, but bus B on the same route within 500 meters may still have stock.

[0080] The cloud platform can offer two options: 1) deliver goods from other units of the vehicle (such as the underfloor compartment); 2) prompt passengers with "There are goods available in nearby vehicles. Would you like to schedule delivery by a service specialist at the next pick-up point (such as a traffic light intersection)?", thus enabling the possibility of social retail.

[0081] When a vehicle is shipping goods, the main controller dynamically plans the optimal shipping route based on the size and weight of the goods and the passenger's position. For example, small items may be shipped directly from the nearest door side cabinet; large items may be retrieved by the robotic arm in the high-roof compartment, transported via an internal conveyor belt to the front shipping outlet, dropped into the front passenger bag, and then passed to the rear passenger area by hand or a small robot.

[0082] All operations are also subject to the vehicle motion state safety policy.

[0083] This invention is not limited to the preferred embodiments described above. Anyone can derive other products in various forms under the guidance of this invention. However, regardless of any changes in shape or structure, any technical solution that is the same as or similar to this application falls within the protection scope of this invention.
