[0109] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described below are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this application. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0110] The following disclosure provides numerous different embodiments or examples for implementing various structures of the invention. To simplify the disclosure, specific examples of components and arrangements are described below. These are merely examples and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Furthermore, reference numerals and / or letters may be repeated in different examples. Such repetition is for simplification and clarity and does not in itself indicate a relationship between the various embodiments and / or arrangements discussed.

[0111] To address the technical problem in existing technologies where the limited field of view of doorbell cameras prevents users from timely acquiring and monitoring packages, increasing the risk of lost or stolen parcels, this application provides a method, apparatus, and doorbell device for receiving delivered items. Upon detecting a target object for delivery, the device instructs a preset delivery area to guide the target object to deliver the item within this area. Since this preset delivery area is within the doorbell device's field of view, even with a limited field of view, the doorbell device can still accurately identify and monitor delivered items within the preset delivery area, thereby improving the detection rate. Subsequently, upon detecting an item within the preset delivery area, the device issues a notification to the target object to receive the item, thus improving the efficiency of receiving delivered items. This achieves accurate detection and monitoring of delivered items, increases the detection rate and receiving efficiency, and enhances the user experience.

[0112] The following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, provides a further explanation of the method for receiving delivered items provided in this application, using specific embodiments. These embodiments do not constitute a limitation on the present invention.

[0113] See Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating an embodiment of a method for receiving delivered items provided in this application. Figure 1 As shown, the process may include the following steps:

[0114] Step 101: When a target object for delivering the item is detected, a preset delivery area is indicated to guide the target object to deliver the item to the preset delivery area; the preset delivery area is within the line of sight of the doorbell device.

[0115] The aforementioned items to be delivered refer to items that need to be delivered, which may be takeout items or express parcels. This application embodiment does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0116] The aforementioned target objects refer to those used to deliver items to users, such as couriers and food delivery workers.

[0117] The aforementioned preset delivery area refers to an area pre-set by the user, which can be used to store delivered items. This preset delivery area can be within the doorbell device's line of sight. Therefore, even if the doorbell device's line of sight is small, it can still accurately detect delivered items within the preset delivery area, thereby improving the detection rate of delivered items.

[0118] The aforementioned doorbell device refers to an electronic device installed at the entrance of a building (such as next to the door of a residence, office, or public place), which can be used for communication and notification between visitors and people inside the building.

[0119] In this embodiment, the executing entity may be a doorbell device, which may include a prompting module and an object detection module. The aforementioned prompting module is used to instruct a preset delivery area according to a preset instruction method, so as to guide the target object of the delivery item to deliver the delivery item to the preset delivery area.

[0120] Optionally, the above-mentioned prompting method can be light and shadow projection, that is, projecting light and shadow onto a preset projection area. Based on this, the prompting module can be a module including light-emitting components, and the light and shadow can be infrared light, incandescent light, etc. This application embodiment does not limit this.

[0121] Optionally, the above prompting method can be a voice prompt, that is, the location of the preset delivery area can be indicated by a preset identifier. Based on this, the prompting module can be a module that includes sound output components (such as a speaker).

[0122] Based on this, the doorbell device can detect in real time whether there is a target object in the visible area in front of the door. When a target object for delivering items is detected, the device can use a preset indicator module to indicate the preset delivery area, so as to guide the target object to deliver the items to the preset delivery area.

[0123] As an optional implementation, the doorbell device can project light and shadow onto a preset delivery area so that the preset delivery area is within the light and shadow, thereby guiding the target object to deliver the item to the preset delivery area.

[0124] For example, see Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of a projected light and shadow provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 2 As shown, when the doorbell device 21 detects a target object, it can project light and shadow into a preset delivery area 22. Based on this, the target object can project the item to be delivered into the preset delivery area 22 according to the light and shadow prompt.

[0125] As an alternative implementation, the doorbell device can use voice prompts to indicate the aforementioned preset delivery area. This preset delivery area can be pre-marked (e.g., pre-divided into rectangular areas, or pre-designated areas to prevent items from being placed on). Based on this, the doorbell device can prompt the target to place the item into the pre-marked preset delivery area.

[0126] As another optional implementation, the doorbell device can obtain the location of the target object and output a guidance marker to the target object based on the location, so that the target object can reach the preset delivery area according to the guidance marker. The guidance marker can be an arrow or a flashing preset marker with a continuously updated flashing position; this application embodiment does not limit this.

[0127] As another alternative implementation, the doorbell device can project light and shadow onto a preset delivery area while simultaneously providing voice prompts to indicate the preset delivery area.

[0128] As an alternative implementation, the doorbell device can project light and shadow onto a preset delivery area while simultaneously outputting a guide marker to the target object based on its location, so that the target object can reach the preset delivery area according to the guide marker. The guide marker can be an arrow or a flashing preset marker with continuously updated flashing positions; this embodiment does not limit the specific type of guide marker.

[0129] As an alternative implementation, the doorbell device can, while indicating the preset delivery area via voice prompts, output a guidance marker to the target object based on the target object's location, so that the target object can reach the preset delivery area according to the guidance marker. The guidance marker can be an arrow or a flashing preset marker with continuously updated flashing position; this embodiment does not limit the specific type of marker.

[0130] As an alternative implementation, the doorbell device can first project light and shadow onto a preset delivery area so that the preset delivery area is within the light and shadow. Then, based on the location of the target object, it can output a guidance mark to the target object. At the same time, it can guide the target object to the preset delivery area by means of voice prompts.

[0131] Furthermore, when the doorbell device projects light and shadow onto the preset delivery area, it can project light and shadow according to the size of the delivered item to facilitate storage. As one implementation, the size information of the delivered item can be obtained, including its length, width, and height.

[0132] Subsequently, based on the size information, a light and shadow projection area for storing the delivered items can be determined from the preset delivery area, and light and shadow can be projected onto the light and shadow projection area. Optionally, the light and shadow projection area can be the largest rectangular area obtained from the size information of the delivered items (e.g., a rectangle composed of the two larger values ​​selected from the length, width, and height), or it can be an area larger than the largest rectangular area. This application embodiment does not limit this.

[0133] As an optional implementation, when detecting a target object using an object detection module, if an object is detected in a preset area in front of the door, an image of that object can be captured and sent to a preset object detection model. The object detection model then determines whether the object in the image is the target object. This object detection model can determine whether an object is the target object by recognizing features such as clothing and actions.

[0134] In one embodiment, the doorbell device (such as the doorbell device described above) can be connected to a terminal device, which can be a terminal device owned by a family member, such as a smartphone or computer. The terminal device can have a pre-installed application installed, allowing the user to set a delivery area in front of the door for storing items, and to view delivery status within that area.

[0135] Step 102: If a delivery item is detected in the preset delivery area, a prompt message is issued to prompt the preset object to receive the delivery item from the preset delivery area.

[0136] In this embodiment of the application, after the doorbell device indicates the preset delivery area, it can detect in real time or at regular intervals whether there is a delivery item in the preset delivery area, and when the delivery item is detected in the preset delivery area, it will promptly issue a prompt message to prompt the preset object to receive the delivery item from the preset delivery area.

[0137] As for how the system specifically detects items within the pre-defined delivery area, this will be explained below. Figure 4 The process shown will be explained in detail here.

[0138] In one embodiment, when the doorbell device issues a prompt message, it can provide on-site prompts to the preset object if a preset object is detected.

[0139] As an optional implementation, users can collect physiological signals or physical characteristics of a preset object (such as a family member) through a preset terminal device, and identify the physiological signals and physical characteristics of the object when the object is detected, so as to determine whether the object is the preset object.

[0140] As an optional implementation, the doorbell device can determine the current prompting strategy and issue a prompting message according to the strategy to prompt a preset recipient to receive the delivered item from a preset delivery area. The prompting strategy may include outputting a preset voice prompt, or projecting a preset colored light or shadow onto the preset delivery area. To enhance the user experience, the preset color may be a soft and warm color, such as yellow. Alternatively, the prompting strategy may simultaneously output the preset voice prompt and project a preset colored light or shadow onto the preset delivery area.

[0141] For example, see Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram illustrating a prompting strategy provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 3 As shown, object 31 can be a preset object. When the doorbell device detects object 31, it can project light and shadow of a preset color into the preset delivery area to prompt object 31 to receive the delivered item in the preset delivery area.

[0142] In another embodiment, when the doorbell device issues a prompt message to remind a preset object to receive the delivered item, in order to promptly remind the preset object to receive the delivered item, the prompt message can be sent to the preset object's terminal.

[0143] As an optional implementation, the device can acquire the terminal information of a preset object and, based on this information, send a preset prompt message to the preset object's terminal device. This prompt message can be used to remind the preset object to receive the delivered item from a preset delivery area. Furthermore, to allow the preset object to have a more detailed understanding of the delivered item's information, the doorbell device can capture an image of the delivered item and simultaneously send that image to the preset object's terminal device.

[0144] As an exemplary implementation, when obtaining terminal information of a preset object, corresponding delivery information can be collected from the aforementioned delivery items. This delivery information refers to information about the object to which the delivery item belongs, found in the outer packaging of the delivery item, such as the item label affixed to the outer packaging of a courier parcel.

[0145] Optionally, upon collecting the aforementioned delivery information, the terminal information of the preset object can be determined based on this delivery information. This delivery information may include the preset object's identification information and contact information, and the doorbell device can determine the preset object's terminal information based on the identified identification information and contact information.

[0146] Optionally, if no delivery information is collected, the doorbell device can obtain pre-stored terminal information of preset objects. Users can set terminal information for family members using preset terminal devices; based on this, the doorbell device can determine the terminal information of a preset object from the pre-stored terminal information. As one implementation, each preset object can correspond to a priority level; therefore, the terminal information corresponding to the object with the highest priority can be determined as the terminal information of the preset object.

[0147] The technical solution provided in this application, upon detecting a target object for delivering an item, indicates a preset delivery area to guide the target object to deliver the item to the preset delivery area. If an item is detected within the preset delivery area, a prompt message is issued to prompt the target object to receive the item from the preset delivery area. This technical solution, by indicating a preset delivery area upon detecting a target object for delivering an item, guides the target object to deliver the item to the preset delivery area. Since this preset delivery area is within the doorbell device's field of vision, even when the doorbell device's field of vision is small, it can still accurately identify and monitor items within the preset delivery area, thereby improving the detection rate of delivered items. Subsequently, upon detecting an item within the preset delivery area, a prompt message is issued to prompt the target object to receive the item, thus improving the efficiency of receiving delivered items for the user. This achieves accurate detection and monitoring of delivered items, improves the detection rate and receiving efficiency, and enhances the user experience.

[0148] See Figure 4 This is a flowchart illustrating another embodiment of the article receiving method provided in this application. Figure 4 The process shown is in Figure 1 Based on the illustrated process, the specific steps for detecting the presence of items within the pre-defined delivery area are described. For example... Figure 4 As shown, the process may include the following steps:

[0149] Step 401: If an item to be detected is detected within the preset delivery area, acquire an image of the preset delivery area.

[0150] In this embodiment of the application, after the doorbell device indicates the preset delivery area, it can collect an image of the preset delivery area.

[0151] As an optional implementation, the doorbell device can call a preset image acquisition module to acquire the area image corresponding to the preset delivery area.

[0152] As an example implementation, the doorbell device can call a preset image acquisition module in real time to acquire area images corresponding to the preset delivery area.

[0153] As another exemplary implementation, the doorbell device can periodically call a preset image acquisition module to acquire area images corresponding to a preset delivery area.

[0154] As another exemplary implementation, the doorbell device can call a preset image acquisition module to acquire an image of the area corresponding to the preset delivery area when a change is detected within the preset delivery area.

[0155] As another exemplary implementation, the doorbell device can, upon detecting the presence of an item to be detected within a preset delivery area, invoke a preset image acquisition module to acquire an image of the area corresponding to the preset delivery area. The aforementioned item to be detected refers to an item detected by the preset image detection module as existing within the preset delivery area, i.e., an item whose authenticity needs further detection to determine if it is a delivery item.

[0156] Furthermore, to improve the image quality of the acquired images, in one embodiment, when the doorbell device detects the presence of an item to be detected within a preset delivery area, and the preset delivery area is indicated by projected light and shadow (i.e., the projected light and shadow area is the preset delivery area), it can acquire the current environmental information of the preset delivery area and determine the brightness parameter of the preset delivery area based on this environmental information. Then, the projected light and shadow within the preset delivery area can be adjusted according to this brightness parameter. The aforementioned environmental information can be information such as the current ambient light intensity and brightness, and the aforementioned brightness parameter can be the brightness of the light and shadow. Therefore, when adjusting the projected light and shadow within the preset delivery area, the brightness of the light and shadow within the preset delivery area can be adjusted.

[0157] As an exemplary implementation, the current time zone location and current time can be obtained, and the current environmental information can be determined based on the time zone location and current time.

[0158] In another embodiment, when the doorbell device detects that there is an item to be detected in the preset delivery area, it can collect the appearance information of the item to be detected in the preset delivery area, determine the brightness parameter of the preset delivery area based on the appearance information, and adjust the light and shadow projected in the preset delivery area based on the brightness parameter.

[0159] In another embodiment, when the doorbell device detects an item to be detected within a preset delivery area, it can collect environmental information and appearance information of the item within the preset delivery area, and determine the brightness parameters of the preset delivery area based on the aforementioned environmental and appearance information. Subsequently, the light and shadow projected within the preset delivery area can be adjusted according to the aforementioned brightness parameters.

[0160] Based on the above adjustments, by adjusting the light and shadow within the preset delivery area, the brightness of the environment surrounding the item to be detected can be increased, thereby improving the quality of the acquired image. Therefore, the doorbell device can acquire an image of the preset delivery area using a preset image acquisition module.

[0161] In one embodiment, to improve the accuracy of item detection, the doorbell device, upon detecting the presence of an item to be detected within a preset delivery area, can determine whether the item is located within a target area of ​​the preset delivery area. The target area refers to a region within a preset range centered on the center point of the preset delivery area; that is, the area within which the entire item to be detected can be accurately captured.

[0162] Optionally, if it is determined that the item to be detected is not located within the target area, the position of the preset delivery area can be adjusted so that the item to be detected is located within the target area.

[0163] As an exemplary implementation, when the preset delivery area is indicated by projecting light and shadow, the position of the preset delivery area can be adjusted by moving the position of the light and shadow projection, thereby adjusting the position of the preset delivery area without changing its area.

[0164] As another exemplary implementation, when indicating a preset delivery area by projecting light and shadow, when adjusting the position of the preset delivery area, the projection range of the light and shadow projection module can be expanded without moving the light and shadow projection position, thereby expanding the preset delivery area so that the item to be detected is located within the target area.

[0165] Optionally, if the item to be detected is located within the target area, an area image of the preset delivery area can be acquired by a preset image acquisition module.

[0166] Step 402: By recognizing the above-mentioned area image, determine that there are items to be delivered within the preset delivery area.

[0167] In this embodiment of the application, after the doorbell device acquires an image of the preset delivery area, it can determine whether there is a delivery item in the preset delivery area by recognizing the image.

[0168] As an optional implementation, the aforementioned region image can be sent to a pre-trained delivery item detection model to detect whether a delivery item exists within the region image. This delivery item detection model is a pre-trained model designed for detecting delivery items.

[0169] Optionally, if the detection result output by the delivery item detection model indicates that the item to be detected is a delivery item, then it can be determined that there is a delivery item in the preset delivery area; if the detection result indicates that the item to be detected is not a delivery item, then it can be determined that there is no delivery item in the preset delivery area.

[0170] As an alternative implementation, the image of the area can be identified by a preset image recognition module to determine whether the area contains items to be delivered.

[0171] As an exemplary implementation, when the doorbell device detects that there is an item to be detected in the preset delivery area, it can directly acquire an image of the area, or, after adjusting the brightness parameters of the light and shadow projected in the preset delivery area, or when it is determined that the item to be delivered is in the target area of ​​the preset delivery area, it can acquire an image of the preset delivery area.

[0172] Based on this, when the doorbell device recognizes that the item to be detected in the area image is a delivery item, it can determine that there is a delivery item in the preset delivery area.

[0173] The technical solution provided in this application, when an item to be detected is detected within a preset delivery area, acquires an image of the preset delivery area. If the item to be detected within the image is identified as a delivery item, the existence of a delivery item within the preset delivery area is determined. This technical solution, by acquiring an image of the preset delivery area when an item to be detected is present, and determining the presence of a delivery item within the preset delivery area through image recognition, achieves rapid and accurate determination of whether a delivery item is within a preset delivery area.

[0174] See Figure 5 This is a flowchart illustrating another embodiment of the article receiving method provided in this application. Figure 5 The process shown is in Figure 1 Based on the illustrated process, this section describes how the doorbell device specifically guards against delivered items. For example... Figure 5 As shown, the process may include the following steps:

[0175] Step 501: If a delivery item is detected within the preset delivery area, and a non-preset object is detected, then the object behavior of the non-preset object is identified.

[0176] The aforementioned non-preset objects refer to objects other than the preset objects, which may refer to objects other than family members, such as strangers.

[0177] The aforementioned object behavior refers to the current behavior of non-preset objects.

[0178] In this embodiment of the application, when the doorbell device detects that there is a delivery item in the preset delivery area, it can activate the protection mode for the delivery item to protect the delivery item and ensure its safety.

[0179] As an optional implementation, in this guardian mode, the doorbell device can determine whether the detected object is a preset object.

[0180] Optionally, if the object is detected to be a non-preset object, the behavior of the non-preset object can be detected in order to ensure the safety of the delivered items.

[0181] As an exemplary implementation, when identifying the behavior of a non-preset object, behavioral images of the non-preset object can be acquired within a preset time period to obtain a sequence of behavioral images. The preset time period can be the time period from the detection of the non-preset object to the current time.

[0182] Subsequently, the behavior of non-preset objects can be determined by recognizing the above sequence of behavioral images.

[0183] Optionally, the above-mentioned behavior image sequence can be input into a pre-trained behavior detection model to obtain the detection result output by the behavior detection model, and the object behavior of non-preset objects can be determined based on the detection result.

[0184] As another exemplary implementation, when identifying the object behavior of a non-preset object, the object position of the non-preset object can be detected in real time, and when the distance between the non-preset object and the delivered item is detected to be less than a preset distance threshold, the limb characteristics of the non-preset object can be identified, and the object behavior of the non-preset object can be determined based on the limb characteristics.

[0185] Optionally, if the detected object is a preset object, the preset object can be prompted to accept the delivered item according to a preset prompting strategy. This delivery strategy may include outputting preset voice prompts and / or outputting preset colored light and shadow.

[0186] Furthermore, if the detected object is not a preset object, in order to protect the information of the item being delivered, the doorbell device can project a privacy light and shadow onto a preset delivery area. By projecting this privacy light and shadow, the non-preset object cannot clearly see the delivered item. The aforementioned privacy light and shadow can be a preset color (e.g., black) and / or a preset image (e.g., stripes or mosaic) that can obscure the appearance of the delivered item.

[0187] Step 502: If the object behavior is identified as a preset behavior for delivering the item, a warning strategy is determined; the warning strategy includes outputting a preset voice warning message and / or projecting a preset warning sign into a preset area.

[0188] Step 503: Issue warnings to non-preset objects according to the warning strategy described above.

[0189] The following provides a unified explanation of steps 502 and 503:

[0190] The aforementioned preset behaviors refer to pre-set behaviors used to characterize non-preset objects receiving delivered items.

[0191] The aforementioned warning strategy refers to a pre-set strategy used to warn non-preset objects to stop the preset behavior.

[0192] In this embodiment of the application, after detecting a non-preset object and identifying the object behavior of the non-preset object, it can be determined whether the object behavior is a preset behavior.

[0193] Optionally, if the object's behavior is identified as a preset behavior for the delivered item, in order to protect the delivered item, a current warning policy can be determined, and a warning can be issued to non-preset objects in accordance with the warning policy.

[0194] In one embodiment, the warning strategy may be to output a preset voice warning message, such as "Please stay away from the delivered items".

[0195] In another embodiment, the warning strategy described above may involve projecting a preset warning sign onto a preset area. This preset area may be the floor or wall corresponding to the doorbell device. The warning sign may be a red exclamation mark or other signs; this application does not limit this. For example, see... Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of a warning strategy provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 6 As shown, when the doorbell device detects a non-preset object 61 and determines that the non-preset object has performed a preset behavior, it outputs a preset exclamation mark 62 and sets the color of the light and shadow to red.

[0196] In addition, when a non-preset object is detected to be far from the preset area, the display mode corresponding to this warning strategy can be stopped.

[0197] In addition, users can update the warning policy through preset terminal devices and view historical warning records and delivery records.

[0198] The technical solution provided in this application, when a delivery item is detected within a preset delivery area, identifies the behavior of a non-preset object if such an object is detected. If the behavior is identified as a preset behavior targeting the delivery item, a warning strategy is determined. This warning strategy includes outputting a preset voice warning message and / or projecting a preset warning sign into the preset area. The non-preset object is then warned according to this strategy. This technical solution, by detecting and identifying non-preset objects and their behaviors, and warning the non-preset object to stop the preset behavior (i.e., move away from the delivery item) according to the preset warning strategy, ensures the safety of the delivery item.
