[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a smart locker system and an operation method thereof, and more particularly to a locker system with allows dynamic generation of storage space based on volume and an operation method thereof. [Background technology]

[0002] In recent years, with the spread and development of the logistics industry, one of the problems that manufacturers are trying to solve is how to efficiently use storage space (also called storage space in storage lockers). Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0003] Generally, conventional storage lockers use a fixed storage space and then store smaller items in it to fit the size of the storage space. However, this method makes it difficult to fully utilize the storage space. For example, if there is no smaller storage space, small-sized items must be stored in an excessively large storage space, resulting in low space utilization.

[0004] In light of the above, the manufacturer has submitted a technical means that allows the storage space to be modified. This allows the size of the section space to be adjusted by controlling the shelves using a complex mechanism. However, the complex mechanisms significantly increase the overall volume, weight and cost, and lead to high failure rates and inconvenient maintenance. Therefore, the problem of low space utilization rate cannot be effectively solved.

[0005] The inventors therefore believed that the above drawback, i.e., the problem of poor space utilization rate, could be improved, and as a result of extensive research, they came to propose the present invention, which effectively improves the above problem through rational design.

[0006] The present invention has been made in consideration of the above circumstances, and aims to solve the above problems. That is, an object of the present invention is to provide a locker system that can dynamically generate storage space based on volume, and a method for operating the same. [Means for solving the problem]

No corresponding removable carrier is initially installed on each set of support members. Next, as for the computer device, the computer device is connected to the cabinet body and includes a section space calculation module, a section space selection module, and a confirmation module. The section space calculation module calculates the storage space generated by dividing the internal space by the removable carrier according to the installation position of the removable carrier, and detects the quantity, size, and usage state of the storage space to obtain a section space state. The section space selection module is connected to the section space calculation module, and detects the volume of the stored item before the stored item is placed, and selects one of the unused storage spaces larger than the volume of the stored item based on the section space state, unlocks N+1 (N is a positive integer) cabinet doors corresponding to the selected storage space, and installs a removable carrier at a specified position based on the height of the stored item. ShouldThe present invention proposes to divide the internal space into different storage spaces, and the confirmation module is connected to the section space calculation module and the section space selection module, and detects that the doors of the N+1 cabinets are closed and the storage items are placed in the selected storage spaces, and detects a newly installed removable carrier, drives the section space calculation module to recalculate and detect the storage space, updates the section space state, and switches the closed doors of the N+1 cabinets to a locked state.

The section space calculation module continuously calculates the surplus available storage space based on the space occupied by the storage items stored in the internal space, and detects the quantity and size of the storage spaces to be the section space state. The section space selection module is connected to the section space calculation module, and detects the volume of the storage items before the storage items are stored, selects one of the storage spaces larger than the volume of the storage items based on the section space state, and opens N cabinet doors (N is a positive integer) corresponding to the selected storage space. The confirmation module is connected to the section space calculation module and the section space selection module, and if there is no removable carrier at the bottom of the selected storage space, a removable carrier is installed at the bottom of the storage space. ShouldIf the doors of the N cabinets are closed, the section space calculation module is driven to recalculate and detect the storage space, and update the section space state.

[0009] In order to solve the above-mentioned problems and achieve the objective, the present invention further provides a locker operating method capable of dynamically generating storage spaces based on volume, which is applied to an environment having a cabinet body and a computer device, and the cabinet body has an internal space.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0014] The present invention will be described below through embodiments of the invention, but the following embodiments do not limit the scope of the invention according to the claims. Furthermore, not all of the combinations of features described in the embodiments are necessarily essential to the solution of the invention.

[0015] First, before describing a locker system capable of dynamically generating storage space based on volume according to the present invention and a method of operating the same, nouns defined in the present invention will be described. The "locker" in this invention refers to a smart locker, which has its own sensing, computing and control capabilities and needs to be connected to power to maintain normal operation. The present invention mainly comprises a cabinet body and a computer device including a section space calculation module, a section space selection module and a confirmation module. The power can be obtained from a commercial power source, a mobile power source, a battery, a solar battery device, or the like. The following describes the embodiments in detail in conjunction with the drawings.

[0016] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A locker system capable of dynamically generating storage space based on volume according to the present invention and a method of operating the same will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

[0017] FIG. 1A is a block diagram showing a locker system capable of dynamically generating storage space based on volume according to a first embodiment of the present invention. The system includes a cabinet body 100 and a computer device 110 . The cabinet body 100 has an internal space. A front panel of the cabinet body 100 is provided with a plurality of cabinet doors. At least one pair of support members is provided on the inside of the two side panels of the cabinet body 100. Each set of support members does not initially have a corresponding removable carrier installed. In practical implementation, the cabinet door includes a left-hand / right-hand sliding door or the like. Each set of support members has a pair of recessed tracks and engagement devices that are parallel to and face the recessed openings of the recessed tracks, the width of the recessed openings is 2Mcm (M is a positive integer), and the thickness of the removable carrier is Mcm. When the removable carrier is fully delivered into the recessed track, the engagement device engages the removable carrier. In another embodiment, the support member may be a pair of L-shaped support members. The two vertical sides of the removable carrier each have a recess. The recess allows for mating with the bottom extension of the L-shaped support member and insertion / extraction along a horizontal axis. The detailed structure will be described later with reference to the drawings. The computer device 110 may be installed inside or outside the cabinet body 100, or may be realized by a remote connection method. Incidentally, the removable carrier may be a mesh or a folding plate that is pre-placed within the cabinet body 100 . It should be noted that various cabinet bodies 100 of different sizes are further provided to be connected to the computer device 110. The cabinet bodies 100 have further diversity in applied volume, for example, due to different lengths, widths, or depths.

[0018] Next, the computer device 110 will be described. The computer device 110 is connected to the cabinet body 100 and includes a section space calculation module 111, a section space selection module 112, and a confirmation module 113. The section space calculation module 111 calculates the storage space generated by dividing the internal space of the removable carrier according to the installation position of the removable carrier, and detects the quantity, size and usage status of the storage space to determine the section space status. In actual implementation, the installation position of the removable carrier is continuously detected and confirmed by a detection element installed inside the cabinet body 100, or the required storage space and the corresponding installation position of the removable carrier are calculated based on size data in a database. The sensing element may be a sensor, and transmits data via WiFi, ZigBee, Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP), Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT), or similar wireless transmission technology.

[0019] The section space selection module 112 is connected to the section space calculation module 111. Before the storage item is placed, the section space selection module 112 detects the volume of the storage item, and selects one of the unused storage spaces that is larger than the volume of the storage item based on the section space status. The doors of the N+1 (N is a positive integer) cabinets corresponding to the selected storage space are unlocked and removable carriers are installed in the designated positions based on the height of the stored items. Should This allows the interior space to be divided to create different storage spaces. In practical implementation, the volume of the stored item is detected by measuring the length, width, and height of the stored item using at least one of a radar distance measurement module, an image identification module, or a mechanical tool to calculate the corresponding volume, or by directly detecting the volume value inputted through a mobile application or a graphical user interface. In addition, when the section space selection module 112 selects a storage space, it first selects unused storage spaces that are larger than the volume of the stored items, and then selects the storage space with the smallest volume from among them. If a removable carrier is present above the selected storage space, this indicates that the upper storage space is in use, even if unused, and a removable carrier is installed, eliminating the need to install a duplicate. Therefore, it is sufficient to prohibit the highest of the N+1 cabinet doors from opening and only open the doors of all cabinets that can access the stored items in the storage space. Incidentally, the designated position may be between the upper and lower edges of the highest and second highest two cabinet doors among the open cabinet doors. The details will be described later with reference to the drawings. Taking N+1 cabinet doors as an example, if the cabinet body 100 has three cabinet doors (numbered 1, 2, and 3 from top to bottom, respectively), and the selected storage space corresponds to the two cabinet doors numbered 2 and 3, the N of the N+1 cabinet doors is 2, indicating the two cabinet doors numbered 2 and 3, and 1 indicates the cabinet door numbered 1 located at the top. In other words, "+1" refers to the door of the cabinet above the storage space.

[0020] The confirmation module 113 is connected to the section space calculation module 111 and the section space selection module 112, and when it detects that the doors of the N+1 cabinets are closed, the storage items are placed in the selected storage space, and a newly installed removable carrier is detected, it drives the section space calculation module 111 to recalculate and detect the storage space, updates the section space state, and switches the closed doors of the N+1 cabinets to a locked state. In practical implementation, sensors installed on the cabinet body or the cabinet door detect whether the doors of the N cabinets are closed. For example, it may be a pressure sensor, a light sensor, or any other sensor capable of detecting whether the cabinet door is closed. It further detects whether the removable carrier is secured, and if so, indicates that it has a newly installed removable carrier.

[0021] FIG. 1B is a block diagram showing a locker system capable of dynamically generating storage space based on volume according to a second embodiment of the present invention. The system includes a cabinet body 120 and a computer device 130 . The cabinet body 120 is the same as the cabinet body 110 in FIG. 1A, so a detailed description thereof will be omitted. The computer device 130 includes a section space calculation module 131 , a section space selection module 132 , and a confirmation module 133 . The section space calculation module 131 continuously calculates the surplus available storage space based on the space occupied by the storage items stored in the internal space, and detects the quantity and size of the storage space to determine the section space state. In actual implementation, different sensors are used to detect the space occupied by the stored items in the internal space, for example, a light-shielding sensor is used to detect the height of the stored items, and the excess height of the cabinet body 120 is calculated to calculate the excess usable storage space.

[0022] The section space selection module 132 is connected to the section space calculation module 131, detects the volume of the storage item before the storage item is placed therein, and selects one of the storage spaces larger than the volume of the storage item based on the section space state, and opens the doors of N cabinets (N is a positive integer) corresponding to the selected storage space. The main difference with the first embodiment is that the section space selection module 112 in the first embodiment opens the doors of N+1 cabinets, whereas the section space selection module 132 in the second embodiment opens the doors of N cabinets. That is, in the second embodiment, it is not necessary to open the door of a cabinet above the doors of the N cabinets to insert the removable carrier.

[0023] The confirmation module 133 is connected to the section space calculation module 131 and the section space selection module 132, and if there is no removable carrier at the bottom of the selected storage space, a removable carrier is installed at the bottom of the storage space. Should When the doors of the N cabinets are closed, the section space calculation module 131 is driven to recalculate and detect the storage space, and update the section space state. The main difference from the confirmation module 113 according to the first embodiment is that if there is no removable carrier at the bottom of the storage space, a removable carrier is installed at the bottom of the storage space. Should This will be presented to the user as a carrier for storing other items the next time.

[0024] It should be noted that in actual implementation, all of the aforementioned modules of the present invention can be realized using various ways, including software, hardware, or any combination thereof. For example, in some embodiments, each module is implemented in software and / or hardware.

[0025] Next, FIG. 2A is a flow chart illustrating an operation method of a locker capable of dynamically generating storage space based on volume according to a first embodiment of the present invention. The present invention is applied to an environment having a cabinet body 100 and a computer device 110 . The cabinet body 100 has an internal space. As a step for this, a plurality of cabinet doors are installed on the front panel of the cabinet body 100, and at least one pair of support members are installed on the inside of the two side panels of the cabinet body 100. The steps include a step of: initially installing no corresponding removable carrier on each set of support members (step 210); a step of the computer device calculating the storage space generated by the removable carrier dividing the internal space according to the installation position of the removable carrier, detecting the quantity, size and usage state of the storage space to set it as a section space state (step 220); before storing the storage items, the computer device 110 detects the volume of the storage items, and selects one of the unused storage spaces larger than the volume of the storage items based on the section space state, unlocking the doors of N+1 (N is a positive integer) cabinets corresponding to the selected storage space, and installing the removable carrier at the designated position based on the height of the storage items. Should The method includes the steps of: proposing to divide the internal space into different storage spaces by dividing the internal space into different storage spaces (step 230); and when the detection element of the cabinet body detects that the doors of the N+1 cabinets are closed, the storage items are placed in the selected storage spaces, and the newly installed removable carrier is detected, the computer device 110 is driven to recalculate and detect the storage spaces, update the section space state, and switch the closed doors of the N+1 cabinets into a lock state (step 240). According to the above steps, at least one set of support members is installed in the cabinet body 100, so that it is possible to select whether to install a removable carrier. When a storage item is stored, the volume of the storage item is detected, and the removable carrier is installed at a specified position in the cabinet body 100 according to the volume. Should The internal space of the cabinet body 100 is dynamically divided to generate storage spaces suitable for storing the storage items. The application of this first embodiment is in situations where stored items are accessed in a self-service manner, and when the stored item is first stored, a removable carrier needs to be installed in a designated position so that it can be used as a carrier for other users to store their stored items.

[0026] Next, FIG. 2B is a flow chart illustrating an operation method of a locker capable of dynamically generating storage space based on volume according to a second embodiment of the present invention. The system is applied to an environment having a cabinet body 120 and a computer device 130 . The cabinet body 120 has an internal space, and the steps include: a plurality of cabinet doors are installed on the front panel of the cabinet body, at least one set of support members are installed on the inside of two side panels of the cabinet body, and each set of support members is initially not installed with a corresponding removable carrier (step 250); a computer device continuously calculates an excess available storage space based on the space occupied by the storage items stored in the internal space, detects the quantity and size of the storage spaces to set it as a section space state (step 260); before storing the storage items, the computer device detects the volume of the storage items, selects one of the storage spaces larger than the volume of the storage items based on the section space state, and opens N cabinet doors (N is a positive integer) corresponding to the selected storage space (step 270); and if there is no removable carrier at the bottom of the selected storage space, the computer device detects the removable carrier at the bottom of the storage space and opens the N cabinet doors (N is a positive integer) corresponding to the selected storage space (step 270). Should and when the doors of the N cabinets are closed, the storage space is recalculated and detected, and the section space state is updated (step 280). Compared with the first embodiment of FIG. 2A, the application of this second embodiment is in a situation where the user who places the stored item is a trusted person. The main difference is that the first time you place an item in storage, you do not need to install a removable carrier, but the second time you place an item in storage, you must place the removable carrier in the bottom of the selected storage space.

[0027] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram applied to an example of selecting a storage space according to the present invention. The computer device 110 calculates the storage space that the removable carrier divides the internal space based on the installation position of the removable carrier, and detects the quantity, size and usage status of the storage space to form a section space status. In this way, when a new item (i.e., a storage item) is put into the locker, the computing device 110 detects the volume of the storage item by the detection element, and based on the current section space status, selects one of the unused storage spaces that is larger than the volume of the storage item, and unlocks the doors of the N+1 cabinets corresponding to the selected storage space. Taking FIG. 3 as an example, the cabinet body 300 has a total of 10 cabinet doors numbered 1 to 10. If there are stored items inside the four cabinet doors numbered 1, 2, 7, 10, etc., this indicates that these storage spaces are in use (or are in occupation). If the stored items require a storage space with a height equivalent to two cabinet doors, after eliminating the occupied storage space, the computer device 110 selects one of the detected storage spaces (310a to 310d), and in actual implementation, the storage space 310d is preferentially selected. Since the storage spaces (310a-310c) can be combined to form a larger storage space, they are not preferentially selected and are reserved for subsequent use for other taller storage items.

[0028] FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram applied to an example of installing a removable carrier according to the present invention. Initially, the removable carrier 410 is not pre-installed in the cabinet body 400. If the user wants to store an item having a height equivalent to four section spaces, the computer device 110 will select a storage space having a height equivalent to cabinet door numbers 7 to 10 and provide it for the user to store the item. In this case, since the space above the selected storage space is unused, the computing device 110 unlocks the doors of the cabinets corresponding to the selected storage space. That is, the doors of cabinets numbered 6 through 10 are unlocked and a removable carrier 410 is installed in the designated position (i.e., the position halfway between cabinet door numbers 6 and 7). Should This is presented. For example, outputting the specified location including the cabinet door number via SMS or screen. The point to be made here is that if the removable carrier 410 is installed in a position halfway between cabinet doors number 6 and 7, then the door of cabinet number 6 needs to be opened, so instead of unlocking the doors of cabinets numbered 7 through 10, the doors of cabinets numbered 6 through 10 are unlocked. In other words, the height of the doors of the cabinets corresponding to the selected storage space is one layer higher than the storage space, ie, one cabinet door higher. If a removable carrier 410 is present above the selected storage space, indicating that the upper storage space is in use, and there is no longer a need to install a removable carrier 410, the door of cabinet number 6 is prohibited from opening (i.e., the highest of the cabinet doors is prohibited from opening) for safety reasons during retrieval.

[0029] FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram applied to one example of a support member according to the present invention. In an actual implementation, the support member 500 has a pair of recessed tracks 511 and engagement devices 512, which are parallel to and face the recessed opening of the recessed track 511, the width of the recessed opening is 2Mcm (M is a positive integer), and the thickness of the removable carrier 510 is Mcm. When the removable carrier 510 is fully delivered into the pair of recessed tracks 511 , the engagement device 512 engages the removable carrier 510 . For example, if the recessed opening is 3 cm wide, the thickness of the removable carrier 510 is 1.5 cm. When a user pushes the removable carrier 510 downward after inserting it along the recessed track 511, the engagement device 512 engages with the removable carrier 510, and its mating portion 513 cannot lift up after being engaged as shown in FIG. 5, and the door of the lower cabinet is closed, so that the removable carrier 510 cannot be extracted along the recessed track 511. That is, the removable carrier 510 is placed between the top and bottom edges of the highest and next highest two open cabinet doors. Also, when the lower cabinet door is opened, it pushes the engagement device 512 open from the bottom up, but the removable carrier 510 cannot be inverted because it is blocked by the recessed track 511. This ensures safety of storage in each storage space.

[0030] FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram of an example of installing a removable carrier between the upper and lower ends of two cabinet doors according to the present invention. The width of the recessed opening mentioned above is 3 cm, and the thickness of the removable carrier is 1.5 cm. In actual implementation, in the first situation 610 (i.e., the upper cabinet door is open and the lower cabinet door is closed), the removable carrier is smoothly placed in place and pushed downwards to engage the engagement device. In this case, the lower cabinet door will block 1 cm, making it difficult for the user to remove the removable carrier. Additionally, in the second condition 620 (i.e., the upper cabinet door is closed and the lower cabinet door is open), the removable carrier is similarly blocked by the upper cabinet door, preventing the removable carrier from being pushed upwardly out of the storage space of the lower single cabinet door.

[0031] FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram of an example of an L-shaped support member and a corresponding removable carrier according to the present invention. In practical implementation, other than the support member 500 shown in FIG. 5, an L-shaped support member 700 may be used and combined with a corresponding removable carrier 710. The upper diagram of "Fig. 7" is a schematic diagram of the removable carrier 710 when the installation is not completed. The user presses it down to contract the engagement device 711 inward, and the recess and the support member 700 are engaged, as shown in the lower diagram of "Fig. 7", and the engagement device 711 returns to its original state. When removing the removable carrier 710, on the premise that the cabinet door at the location corresponding to the support member 700 is open, the removable carrier 710 is directly extracted along the horizontal axis. Similarly, under this premise, if the removable carrier 710 is to be installed, the recessed portion of the removable carrier 710 can be directly joined to the bottom extension of the L-shaped support member 700 and inserted along the horizontal axis to complete the installation.
