Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a luggage storage device and a locking / unlocking system. [Background technology]

[0002] In recent years, the number of product purchases made through mail order services such as television and the Internet has been increasing. However, due to the recent impact of infectious diseases, such as a decrease in face-to-face shopping and fewer opportunities to go out due to an increase in working from home, mail order purchases of products made through delivery companies are on the rise.

[0003] As a result, while the operational utilization rate of delivery companies is increasing, there is also an increasing number of redelivery issues where delivery companies have to take the package back and then try again when the orderer is not present. This is placing an increasing burden on delivery companies and also creating a new problem of people wanting to avoid increasing face-to-face encounters due to infection prevention measures. Solutions to these problems are needed.

[0004] As a solution to this problem, delivery boxes have been devised, and proposals have ranged from having a seal built into the delivery box to having an automatic seal function and even a voice input function. (Reference 1)

[0005] In addition, in the past, delivery service users would go out and leave the door of the delivery locker unlocked, have the delivery company open the door and place the package inside, and then have the delivery company lock it or have it automatically lock it, after which the recipient would unlock it with their own key or other means to receive the package. This made it difficult to prevent tampering by third parties, such as by inserting foreign objects into the locker while it was unlocked, and it was not possible to receive multiple packages in one day.

[0006] In response to the above-mentioned issues of pranks and multiple deliveries, with the recent widespread use of so-called smartphones (hereafter referred to as "smartphones"), technology has been proposed to remotely unlock and lock the receiving door of a parcel box. (Reference 2)

[0007] Under this proposal, a note instructing the user to call to request unlocking of the delivery box would first be attached to the box, and the delivery service user would then receive a call from the delivery company when they arrive at the location and remotely unlock the box.As a security measure, there are also products that install cameras in the box so that the process can be monitored while receiving packages.

[0008] This type of product is based on the assumption that delivery service users have an environment where they can connect to the Internet at home, and when they have set up a home network system that can be used for surveillance cameras using their smartphones, etc., the delivery box is incorporated as one terminal in the system. The router and a repeater for the home network system are connected via wireless LAN such as Wi-Fi (registered trademark), and this repeater is then connected to the communication terminal stage of delivery boxes up to 70 meters away via DECT (Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecomuinications) communication, enabling remote locking and unlocking and remote monitoring of package receipt.

[0009] [Patent Document 1] JP Patent Publication No. 06-345185 [Patent Document 2] Utility Model Registration No. 3235404 Public Relations Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0010] However, even with the above-mentioned improvement proposals and improved products, the following problems still remain:

[0011] A. Even if the electronic lock can be remotely operated multiple times, the delivery company must respond each time. Adding a wireless locking and unlocking means and a camera to the delivery box and allowing it to be operated remotely from a smartphone would prevent vandalism and allow multiple deliveries to be made, but it would mean that deliveries would have to be received by the delivery person while the recipient is out, meaning that deliveries could not be made while at work, and thus losing the original convenience of delivery boxes, which is to allow deliveries to be received without meeting the recipient when the recipient is not at home.

[0012] B. Even if you can receive your parcel multiple times, the parcels delivered after it is full will be wasted. If it becomes possible to receive deliveries multiple times remotely, the delivery company may not notice if the delivery box becomes full between multiple deliveries, and redelivery will be necessary.

[0013] C. When shipping a package, you need to either go to the delivery company or hand it over to them in person at home. Conversely, if a user wants to send a package, they must either take the package to the delivery company or a convenience store affiliated with the delivery company, or contact the delivery company and wait for them to come to their home to pick it up, and then they have no choice but to hand over the package in person. Issues such as these continued to remain.

[0014] The present invention aims to provide a parcel receiving and storage device and parcel receiving system that improves the above-mentioned problems, and that not only solves the conventional problems of "allowing parcels to be received multiple times without meeting the recipient in person even when an electronic lock is used," "preventing the waste of having the delivery company redeliver the parcel," and "conversely, allowing parcels to be delivered without meeting the recipient in person even when the parcel is to be sent from home," but also opens up new ways of using the service. [Means for solving the problem]

[0015] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a luggage storage unit with a power source, lighting means, imaging means, communication means that allows both the luggage delivery service user and the luggage delivery company to receive images captured by the imaging means, and a delivery company unlocking means for the delivery company to unlock the lid of the luggage storage unit, allowing the luggage delivery service user to monitor the work of the delivery company and enabling the delivery company to check the captured images before delivering the luggage and the presence or absence of luggage in the storage unit and the volume it occupies before preparing for delivery, and at the luggage delivery destination, the delivery company unlocks the lid of the luggage storage unit and allows the luggage to be stored.

[0016] Furthermore, according to the present invention, a variable code input type mechanical lock is used as the unlocking means for the delivery company, and the delivery service user sets a predetermined number of digits in a predetermined direction from a predetermined digit position of his / her own telephone number or the tracking number issued at the time of ordering as an unlocking code in the variable code input type mechanical lock and then locks it, and then notifies the delivery company of instructions to enter the unlocking code via telephone, e-mail, etc., or writes instructions in advance on a comment instruction board set up around the lid of the luggage storage unit, and then has the delivery company unlock the code input type mechanical lock.

[0017] According to the present invention, a wireless locking / unlocking means having a power supply unit, a communication unit, a control unit, a memory unit, and an actuator drive unit is provided as the unlocking means for the delivery company, and an application capable of operating the wireless locking / unlocking means and the imaging means, and capable of processing the contour image or pixelating the text portion of the captured image of the package is distributed on the Internet, and the application is registered in a communication terminal equipped with a location information detection means and a long-distance or short-distance communication means or both long-distance and short-distance communication means owned by both the delivery service user and the delivery company, and after the delivery service user registers an unlocking code in the application, the delivery company: Before delivering the package, the app displays the captured image to check the package storage status in the storage unit, and then the user goes to the delivery destination. After arriving at the delivery destination, the app recognizes that the location information of the communication terminal of the delivery company matches the package delivery address. The user then inputs the delivery service user's telephone number or tracking number, and the app requests the delivery service user to send an unlocking signal corresponding to the code, and the delivery service user unlocks the package directly via long-distance communication means. Or, the communication terminal takes a picture of the coded information on the package, which is previously coded and labeled with information about the delivery service user and the package, and the application recognizes the coded information. The application automatically compares the package information, location information, and order information of the delivery service user, and when each piece of information matches, automatically transmits the unlocking signal via long-distance communication means to unlock the package. or, after transmitting the unlocking signal through the short-distance communication means of the communication terminal of the delivery company while concealing it from the delivery company, the unlocking signal information is deleted from the communication terminal of the delivery company; Alternatively, the application transmits a time-limited unlocking code to both the wireless locking / unlocking means and the communication terminal of the luggage delivery company via the long-distance communication means, and the wireless locking / unlocking means generates the unlocking signal and unlocks the lid of the luggage storage unit only if the unlocking codes match within the time limit, When the parcel delivery company opens the lid of the parcel storage, finishes storing the parcel, and closes the lid of the parcel storage, the parcel storage is automatically locked, and at the same time, a notification of completion of receipt is sent to the delivery service user via the app.

[0018] Furthermore, according to the present invention, a distance measurement sensor is added to the storage facility, allowing the delivery company to recognize the space occupied by the luggage in the storage facility and determine whether the next luggage scheduled for delivery is of a size that can be added and stored, or based on the captured image and distance measurement information, the volume occupied by the luggage and the free space volume in the storage facility are calculated using the calculation function of the app or the calculation device of the app development manager, and the size of the luggage that can be added is notified, thereby providing judgment information via the app before the luggage is delivered, for determining whether new luggage can be added.

[0019] According to the present invention, after the delivery service user stores the package he / she wishes to send in the storage and locks it, When using a mechanical combination or keypad lock, inform the delivery company of the unlocking code for the variable combination or keypad lock by telephone, email, or other means of communication. Alternatively, when the wireless locking / unlocking means is used, a request for collection of a package is registered in advance with the delivery company via the dedicated app, and then, when the delivery company arrives at the collection location, a signal for requesting unlocking of the package storage lid, including information about the delivery company and current location information, is transmitted from the delivery company to the dedicated app, which then automatically transmits an unlocking code to the communication means of the delivery company, and the dedicated app transmits the unlocking code to the wireless locking / unlocking means via the short-range communication means of the communication means of the delivery company to unlock the package; or The package receiving and storage device and package receiving system are characterized in that the package receiving and storage device and package receiving system are characterized in that the delivery company can unlock the lid of the package storage by any one of the methods above, thereby enabling the delivery company to receive the package delivered to the home. Effect of the Invention

[0020] By using this invention, it is possible to use it as a means of receiving and storing delivered packages, "even with a mechanical lock, without tampering while waiting to receive the package," "to allow multiple packages to be received without meeting the recipient in person while the recipient is absent," "to prevent unnecessary redelivery by the delivery company," and "conversely, when sending a package from home, it is possible to have the delivery company collect the package while the recipient is absent without meeting the recipient in person," thus solving the problems associated with conventional delivery boxes and enabling new services to be used.

[0021] [Brief description of the drawings]

[0022] [Figure 1] A diagram showing various components and the environment required when a delivery company arrives at a delivery destination and uses a network-connected communication terminal to unlock a parcel receiving and storing apparatus in an embodiment of the present invention. [Diagram 2] This figure shows the various components and environment required for a delivery company to understand the status of the storage facility at the delivery destination before delivery using a communication terminal network-connected to the parcel receiving and storage device in an embodiment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0023] Hereinafter, an embodiment of a luggage receiving and storage device and a luggage receiving system according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. Note that the luggage receiving and storage device and the luggage receiving system according to the present invention are not limited to the embodiment.

[0024] [Embodiment 1] FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an overview of a parcel receiving and storage device in an embodiment of the present invention and a service system using this device. In particular, the parcel delivery company will provide a detailed explanation of the case where the storage unit is unlocked electronically and remotely via a network, using this diagram.

[0025] <Opening and closing the storage unit> FIG. 1 is based on a baggage receiving and storing device of the present invention, baggage receiving and storing cabinet 1 shown in the upper left. To open the cabinet 1 with its lid 3 closed, the cabinet can be unlocked by inserting a physical key into keyhole 4 to unlock it, or by adjusting the dial of variable combination lock 4a to a preset unlocking code, and then the cover knob 5 can be turned and pulled to open it. In addition, an electronic remote locking and unlocking device 4b (built into the broken-line frame including the keyhole and combination lock in this drawing, and its configuration is as shown in the block diagram in the broken-line balloon shown on the left side) can be used to remotely lock and unlock the cabinet 1. The storage unit 4d2 is composed of a communication unit 4b1, a communication unit 4b2, a control unit 4b3, a memory unit 4b4, a locking / unlocking drive unit 4b5, etc.) and uses a short-range wireless PAM communication unit (4c) such as Bluetooth (registered trademark) as a communication means for the storage unit 4d2, and the storage unit unlocking code is registered by the delivery service user using a dedicated application 50 (developed in advance for this device and system) for locking and unlocking the storage unit lid and for checking captured images of the inside of the storage unit, which application 50 has been downloaded in advance from the Internet using the delivery service user's smartphone (hereinafter referred to as the user smartphone 6) and the like. At the same time, the communication unit 4d3 inside the storage unit also receives this and the unlocking code signal is registered in the memory unit 4d4 via the control unit 4d2.

[0026] The storage 1 in Fig. 1 described above is also provided with an illuminated camera 20. (Here, it is installed on the top of the rear separator 7e so that it can take pictures in a diagonally downward direction, but a spherical camera is preferable as the type of camera, and it may also be installed on the upper frame part of the access lid.)

[0027] With this camera, (a) First, as shown in the upper left of Figure 2, a delivery person who arrives at the locked storage unit 1 uses his / her smartphone 14 to photograph the QR code 21' (or a barcode) on the label affixed to the package 21 by the mail order company or delivery person using a dedicated app 50.

[0028] (i) The dedicated app 50 recognizes the delivery address from the order or delivery information in the QR code 21' and compares it with the smartphone's current location information detected by the GPS signal from the GPS satellite 22 in the upper center of Figure 1.

[0029] (c) When the delivery address and the current location of the smartphone match, the delivery company's smartphone 14 uses the long-distance communication means (4d) to transmit information that "the delivery company has arrived" to the IP network via the dedicated app 50, and at the same time sends a signal requesting the storage unit to be unlocked.

[0030] (D) These signals are received by the communication terminal of the delivery service user's smartphone 6 via a dedicated application 50, A. Does the delivery service user send an unlock signal for the luggage receiving lid 3 to the smartphone 14 of the delivery company via the dedicated app 50? B. Will the dedicated app 50 automatically send a pre-registered unlock signal for the baggage receiving lid 3 directly to the delivery company's smartphone 14? The notification is sent to the smartphone 14 of the delivery company by one of the above methods (the delivery service user can select as desired depending on the importance of the package, etc.), and when the delivery company presses the "package receiving lid unlock button" via a dedicated app 50, the lid 3 is unlocked via the short-range communication means between the smartphone 14 of the delivery company and the storage unit 1. (Alternatively, if the delivery person agrees to leave all of these steps to the dedicated app 50, all steps after the delivery person photographs the QR code 21' on the label attached to the package 21 with the smartphone 14 and imports it into the dedicated app 50 can be omitted, and it is also possible to have the locker unlocked instantly.)

[0031] (O) After unlocking the lock as described above, the delivery person opens the lid 3 by pulling the knob 5 and stores the package inside.

[0032] (c) After storing the package, when the delivery company closes the lid 3, the lid 3 is automatically locked, and at the same time, a “package receipt completed & locking completed” signal is sent from the remote locking / unlocking device 4b of the storage unit 1 to the delivery company’s smartphone 14 via short-range communication.

[0033] (g) The "package receipt completed & locking completed" signal is sent from the smartphone 14 via the IP network 23 by the dedicated app 50 to the communication type terminal of the smartphone 6 of the delivery service user.

[0034] Completion of luggage receipt is confirmed through the above steps, and the situation inside the storage at this time can be monitored by camera 20 as shown in the top view at the bottom left of Figure 2. This can be used to monitor the status after the luggage has been stored as in (1), and the situation in real time from when luggage receiving lid 3 is opened as in (2) until it is locked again as in (1). In addition, images taken during this period are saved in the storage device of the delivery service user's smartphone 6 or on its cloud server 25, and can be viewed later.

[0035] In addition, in the above-mentioned package receiving process, if the delivery service user is busy outside the home, it is possible to have a pre-contracted package receiving agent 24 (such as a dedicated app developer or a security company) monitor the package receiving process so that if any suspicious behavior, such as the theft of existing packages, is detected, immediate action can be taken.

[0036] <Avoid the risk of redelivery by checking the condition of your parcel before delivery> With the above-described configuration of the present invention, having the delivery company lock and unlock the storage unit saves the effort and time required for communicating with the delivery service user in a face-to-face manner, enables the delivery company to deliver packages efficiently at a time convenient for the delivery company, enables delivery service users to receive packages without meeting the delivery company in person or waiting, and enables safe delivery of packages multiple times a day.

[0037] However, if it becomes possible to receive packages multiple times a day, then conversely, if the storage unit is full with previously delivered packages, the delivery company attempting to deliver the next package may not notice this and may only realize it after arriving at the site and opening the storage unit, which would mean the package would have to be redelivered, wasting time and fuel for the delivery vehicle.

[0038] The present invention is particularly characterized by making it possible to avoid such waste, and as a method for preventing the waste of redelivery in this case, the above-mentioned illuminated camera 20 is used to make it possible to provide this image information to the delivery company at any time via a dedicated application 50, thereby enabling efficient delivery by understanding the condition of the packages stored in the storage facility, as will be explained below based on the configuration contents of Figure 2.

[0039] 2, (1), and even after the package has already been delivered and the lid has been closed as in (2), the lighting function of the lighted camera 200 of the present invention makes it possible to observe the state of the inside of the storage unit with the lid closed, so this image information can be provided to the delivery company at any time via the dedicated app 50. (To protect privacy, the image may be limited to only the outline of the package rather than the raw image, or the text may be pixelated, or other processing may be applied.)

[0040] ▲2▼As shown in the lower left diagram of Figure 2, when a delivery company prepares to deliver a new package, they can take a picture of the label of the package to be delivered to in advance with their smartphone 14 and input it into the dedicated app 50. By selecting the item "Delivery destination storage status" from the pre-set items, they can check a real-time image (which may be an image with the above restrictions) of the storage destination they entered, as shown in (2) of Figure 2. Then, based on this, A. The delivery person visually estimates the available space for the package to be delivered. (For this reason, scales for estimating dimensions are provided in advance on the length and width of the storage facility.) A dedicated app calculates the available storage space based on image analysis and measurement data from the distance sensor, and displays the information on the screen as reference. Based on this information, the delivery company will A: Will it be delivered immediately? B: Should I postpone it until the next time there is space available? Make it possible to determine. The above method has the new effect of preventing the delivery company from making unnecessary redeliveries.

[0041] [Embodiment 2] In addition to the case where the electronic lock of embodiment 1 above is used to allow the delivery company to remotely unlock the storage unit, the procedure for using a mechanical lock such as a dial lock that does not require a power source to lock and unlock will be described below.

[0042] <When using a mechanical lock that allows the PIN to be rewritten at any time> There are two methods for delivery service users to input the unlocking PIN in advance using a four-digit variable combination lock 4a (the number of digits is not limited to four, and the number of digits can be increased by using a keypad-type mechanical lock to improve security) that has a physical hole on the left end as a mechanical lock that allows the PIN to be rewritten at any time.

[0043] a. If there is only one package scheduled for delivery on that day When ordering a product, a mail-order company creates it, notifies a delivery service user in advance, and writes on the label of a delivered package. The lock is locked by registering in advance "a code of how many digits above or below the digit starting from a certain digit" from the "product tracking number (inquiry slip number)" which is written on the label of the delivered package, and an instruction sheet instructing the delivery company to enter this code is displayed around the mechanical lock so that the delivery company can unlock the lock based on the label of the package.

[0044] b. If there are multiple parcels scheduled for delivery on the same day A telephone number is used as delivery service user information written on a luggage label, and "a code of how many digits above or below the telephone number starting from a certain digit" is registered in advance for locking, and an instruction sheet instructing the code is displayed around the mechanical lock so that a delivery company can unlock the luggage based on the luggage label. In this manner, when the delivery person stores the package and closes the lid, the package receiving lid 3 is automatically locked, so that the delivery person can always wait for the package to be received with the package receiving lid 3 locked.

[0045] [Embodiment 3] In addition, by utilizing the above-described device and system, it will be possible to develop a new form of service usage in which delivery service users can request the delivery company to collect packages they wish to deliver, without meeting the delivery person in person, while they are not at home.

[0046] <Realizing a non-face-to-face baggage delivery service from home> That is, a delivery service user requests a delivery company to collect packages from their home in advance, and then stores the packages in a storage unit at their home. a. Set a new unlock code for the mechanical lock and inform the delivery company of the code b. After registering the unlocking code in the electronic lock in advance and also in the dedicated app 50, when the delivery company arrives at the site, the delivery company's smartphone 14 confirms the current location information of the smartphone 14 in the dedicated app 50 and presses the "Package lid unlock request signal" button. The stored unlocking code is then sent to the short-range communication means 4e of the package receiving lid 3 via the short-range communication means of the smartphone 14, thereby unlocking the package. By using either a mechanical lock or an electronic lock, the delivery company that arrives at the site can open the baggage receiving cover 3 and collect the baggage stored inside without meeting the delivery service user. (In this case, the delivery fee is paid by credit card or other means at the time of ordering.)

[0047] The features of the new configuration and system of the present invention described above not only solve the problems associated with conventional parcel lockers, but also make new services available, such as "preventing tampering while waiting to receive a parcel," "allowing multiple parcel deliveries to be made without meeting the recipient in person while the recipient is not at home," "preventing the delivery company from making unnecessary deliveries and having to redeliver the parcel without the recipient meeting the recipient in person while the recipient is not at home," and so on.
