DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0018] Other objects, configurations and effects of the present invention will become apparent from the following embodiments of the invention.

[0019] The present invention will be described below through embodiments of the invention, but the following embodiments do not limit the invention according to the claims. Furthermore, not all of the combinations of features described in the embodiments are necessarily essential to the solutions of the invention.

[0020] The following is a description of the present invention. Depositor side and Pick-up person An insulated cabinet system is described that includes a pair of FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the present invention. Depositor side and Pick-up person FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an insulated cabinet system comprising a pair of

[0021] The present invention Depositor side and Pick-up person The insulating cabinet system includes at least one insulating cabinet 10 and a control server 20. The control server 20 further includes a database 21, a receiving module 22, an authentication module 23, a selection module 24, a key generation module 25, an encryption module 26, a command generation module 27, and a transmission module 28.

[0022] Data is transmitted between the heat-insulating cabinet 10 and the control server 20 by wired or wireless transmission. The above-mentioned wired transmission method may be, for example, power line communication, optical fiber network, transmission cable, or the like. The wireless transmission method may be, for example, WiFi, ZigBee, CoAP (Constrained Application Protocol), MQTT (Message Queuing Telemetry Transport), mobile data communication (e.g., 3G, 4G, 5G, etc.), etc. These examples are given for illustrative purposes only, and the scope of application of the present invention is not limited to these.

[0023] FIG. 2A shows an embodiment of the present invention. Depositor side and Pick-up person FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing an insulated cabinet of an insulated cabinet system including a pair of the above.

[0024] The insulated cabinet 10 stores items at a constant temperature. The insulated cabinet 10 includes an insulated cabinet door 11, an insulated cabinet door locking device 12, and a plurality of storage cells 13. Each of the storage cells 13 has a storage cell door 131 and a storage cell door locking device.

[0025] The database 21 of the control server 20 stores the insulated cabinet information corresponding to each of the insulated cabinets 10 and the storage cell information corresponding to each of the storage cells 13 of each of the insulated cabinets 10 . When the receiving module 22 of the control server 20 receives the deposit request, the authentication module 23 of the control server 20 authenticates the depositor identification information of the deposit request. It should be noted that the receiving module 22 of the control server 20 receives the deposit request from the electronic device through wired or wireless transmission, and the deposit request includes the depositor information and the taker information. These examples are given for illustrative purposes only, and the scope of application of the present invention is not limited to these.

[0026] The authentication module 23 of the control server 20 authenticates whether the deposit request has been paid for. If the deposit request payment process is complete, the deposit request passes authentication by the authentication module 23 of the control server 20 . Conversely, if the payment process for the deposit request is not completed, the deposit request cannot pass authentication by the authentication module 23 of the control server 20 .

[0027] Next, if the deposit request passes authentication by the authentication module 23 of the control server 20, the selection module 24 of the control server 20 selects one of the insulated cabinet information from the database 21 of the control server 20, and then further selects one of the selected storage cell information corresponding to the selected insulated cabinet information.

[0028] Specifically, suppose that first insulated cabinet information "A001" and second insulated cabinet information "A002" are stored in database 21 of control server 20, and the storage cell information corresponding to the first insulated cabinet information is "A001-1001," "A001-0002," "A001-1003," etc., respectively, and the storage cell information corresponding to the second insulated cabinet information is "A002-0001," "A002-1002," "A002-1003," etc., respectively. These examples are given for illustrative purposes only, and the scope of application of the present invention is not limited to these.

[0029] If the deposit request passes authentication by the authentication module 23 of the control server 20, if the selection module 24 of the control server 20 selects the first insulated cabinet information "A001", then it further selects the selected storage cell information "A001-0002" corresponding to the first insulated cabinet information. This example is given for illustrative purposes only, and the scope of application of the present invention is not limited to this example.

[0030] If the depositor identification information passes authentication by the authentication module 23 of the control server 20, if the selection module 24 of the control server 20 selects the second insulated cabinet information "A002", then it further selects the selected storage cell information "A002-0001" corresponding to the second insulated cabinet information. This example is given for illustrative purposes only, and the scope of application of the present invention is not limited to this example.

[0031] It should be noted here that the receiving module 22 of the control server 20 further receives insulated cabinet information from an external device (not shown), and the selection module 24 of the control server 20 selects the specified insulated cabinet information based on the insulated cabinet information that the receiving module 22 of the control server 20 receives from the external device (not shown).

[0032] The receiving module 22 of the control server 20 further receives device location information from the external device, and the selection module 24 of the control server 20 further selects the insulated cabinet information that is closest to the device location information based on the device location information that the receiving module 22 of the control server 20 received from the external device. This example is given for illustrative purposes only, and the scope of application of the present invention is not limited to this example.

[0033] Next, if the deposit request passes authentication by the authentication module 23 of the control server 20, the key generation module 25 of the control server 20 generates a first authentication public key, a first authentication private key, a second authentication public key, and a second authentication private key based on the deposit request, and the key generation module 25 of the control server 20 generates the first authentication public key, the first authentication private key, the second authentication public key, and the second authentication private key using a conventional key generation method. The first certification public key corresponds to the first certification private key, and the second certification public key corresponds to the second certification private key. It should also be noted that the generation method used for the first certification public key and the first certification private key is different from the generation method used for the second certification public key and the second certification private key.

[0034] Next, the encryption module 26 of the control server 20 encrypts the selected insulated cabinet information as first encrypted information using the first authentication public key, and encrypts the selected storage cell information as second encrypted information using the second authentication public key.

[0035] Next, the transmission module 28 of the control server 20 transmits the first authentication private key and the second authentication private key based on the deposit request. The transmission module 28 of the control server 20 transmits the first authentication private key and the second authentication private key according to the depositor information of the deposit request by email, SMS, instant message, etc. The transmission module 28 of the control server 20 transmits the first authentication private key and the second authentication private key according to the retriever information of the deposit request by email, SMS, instant message, etc. These examples are given for illustrative purposes only, and the scope of application of the present invention is not limited to these.

[0036] When the depositor or recipient operates the insulated cabinet 10 and the insulated cabinet 10 receives the first authentication private key and the second authentication private key, the insulated cabinet 10 provides the first authentication private key and the second authentication private key to the control server 20. The receiving module 22 of the control server 20 receives the first authentication private key and the second authentication private key from the insulated cabinet 10 .

[0037] The command generation module 27 of the control server 20 decrypts the first encrypted information using the received first authentication private key, and decrypts the second encrypted information using the received second authentication private key.

[0038] When the command generation module 27 of the control server 20 uses the received first authentication private key to decrypt the first encrypted information as insulated cabinet information and uses the received second authentication private key to decrypt the second encrypted information as storage cell information, the command generation module 27 of the control server 20 generates an insulated cabinet door unlock command based on the decrypted insulated cabinet information and generates a storage cell door open command based on the decrypted storage cell information.

[0039] If the command generation module 27 of the control server 20 cannot decrypt the first encrypted information as insulated cabinet information using the received first authentication private key and cannot decrypt the second encrypted information as storage cell information using the received second authentication private key, it does not generate an insulated cabinet door unlock command and a storage cell door open command.

[0040] If the command generation module 27 of the control server 20 cannot decrypt the first encrypted information as insulated cabinet information using the received first authentication private key and decrypts the second encrypted information as storage cell information using the received second authentication private key, it does not generate an insulated cabinet door unlock command and a storage cell door open command.

[0041] If the command generation module 27 of the control server 20 cannot decrypt the first encrypted information as insulated cabinet information using the received first authentication private key, and cannot decrypt the second encrypted information as storage cell information using the received second authentication private key, it does not generate an insulated cabinet door unlock command and a storage cell door open command.

[0042] The transmission module 28 of the control server 20 generates an insulated cabinet door unlock command based on the insulated cabinet information decoded by the command generation module 27 of the control server 20, and generates a storage cell door open command based on the decoded storage cell information, and transmits it to the insulated cabinet 10.

[0043] When the insulated cabinet 10 receives an insulated cabinet door unlock command and a storage cell door open command from the transmission module 28 of the control server 20, the insulated cabinet door lock device 12 unlocks the insulated cabinet door 11 based on the insulated cabinet door unlock command, and the corresponding storage cell door lock device unlocks the storage cell door 131 and opens the storage cell door 131 based on the storage cell door open command. The depositor can open the insulating cabinet door 11 and deposit the item in the storage cell whose storage cell door is open. As shown in FIG. 2B, FIG. 2B is an embodiment of the present invention. Depositor side and Pick-up person 10 shows a schematic diagram of an example of an insulated cabinet with a pair of doors when the insulated cabinet door and the storage cell door are simultaneously open. The retrieval of the item is completed when the deposit of the item is completed or when the retrieving person opens the insulating cabinet door 11 and retrieves the item deposited in the storage cell.

[0044] It should be noted that the storage cell door in FIG. 2B is driven, for example, by a slide rail and a motor (not shown) installed within the storage cell to open, close, lock, and unlock the storage cell door. This example is given for illustrative purposes only, and the scope of application of the present invention is not limited to this example.

[0045] A preset time for stored items is further set in the insulating cabinet 10, and calculation of the opening time starts when the insulating cabinet door 11 is opened. When the opening time reaches the preset time for the stored items, the storage cell door locking device 131 is controlled to close the open storage cell door and lock the storage cell door. It should be noted that this prevents the insulated cabinet door 11 from being left open for a long period of time, which would cause the insulated cabinet 10 to consume excessive energy to maintain a constant temperature.

[0046] In addition, each storage cell is further equipped with a detection device (for example, image detection, weight detection, infrared detection, etc., but these examples are given for illustrative purposes only and the application scope of the present invention is not limited to these), which detects that all items stored in the storage cell have been removed, and when a preset time (for example, 5 seconds, 10 seconds, etc., but these examples are given for illustrative purposes only and the application scope of the present invention is not limited to these) has elapsed after all items stored in the storage cell have been removed, the storage cell door lock device 131 is controlled to close the open storage cell door and lock the storage cell door. This prevents the insulated cabinet door 11 from being left open for a long period of time, which would cause the insulated cabinet 10 to consume excessive energy to maintain a constant temperature.

[0047] Next, the present invention Depositor side and Pick-up person An example of a specific embodiment of the insulating cabinet method including the pair will be described with reference to FIGS. 3A to 3C. 3A to 3C are diagrams illustrating an embodiment of the present invention. Depositor side and Pick-up person 1 is a flowchart illustrating a method for an insulated cabinet comprising a pair of

[0048] The present invention Depositor side and Pick-up person The method for providing an insulating cabinet with a pair of the above-mentioned components includes the following steps: Each step will be described below.

[0049] First, at least one insulated cabinet stores items at a constant temperature, each of the insulated cabinets has an insulated cabinet door, an insulated cabinet door locking device, and a plurality of storage cells, each of the storage cells having a storage cell door and a storage cell door locking device (see step 301). Next, the control server stores a database of insulated cabinet information corresponding to at least one insulated cabinet and storage cell information corresponding to each of the storage cells of the insulated cabinet (see step 302). Next, the control server receives a deposit request including depositor information and pick-up person information from the depositor's external device (see step 303). Next, the control server verifies whether payment has been completed against the depositor information in the deposit request (see step 304). Next, if the deposit request passes authentication by the control server, the control server selects one of the insulated cabinet information from the database, and then further selects one of the selected storage cell information corresponding to the selected insulated cabinet information (see step 305). Next, if the deposit request passes authentication by the control server, the control server generates a first authentication public key, a first authentication private key, a second authentication public key, and a second authentication private key based on the deposit request (see step 306). Next, the control server encrypts the selected insulated cabinet information as first encrypted information using the first authentication public key (see step 307). Next, the control server encrypts the selected storage cell information as second encrypted information using the second authentication public key (see step 308). Next, the control server transmits the first authentication private key and the second authentication private key to the external device of the depositor or the recipient, respectively, based on the depositor information and the recipient information of the deposit request (see step 309). Next, when at least one insulated cabinet receives the first authentication private key and the second authentication private key from the depositor's or recipient's external device, it provides the first authentication private key and the second authentication private key to the control server (see step 310). Next, the control server decrypts the first encrypted information as insulated cabinet information using the first authentication private key received from at least one insulated cabinet, and decrypts the second encrypted information as storage cell information using the received second authentication private key, and then generates an insulated cabinet door unlock command based on the decrypted insulated cabinet information and generates a storage cell door open command based on the decrypted storage cell information (see step 311). Next, the control server transmits an insulating cabinet door unlock command and a storage cell door open command to the corresponding at least one insulating cabinet (see step 312). Finally, the insulating cabinet door locking device unlocks the insulating cabinet door based on the insulating cabinet door unlock command, and the corresponding storage cell door locking device unlocks the storage cell door and opens the storage cell door based on the storage cell door open command (see step 313).

[0050] In summary, the present invention differs from the prior art in that the control server authenticates the deposit request to select insulated cabinet information and storage cell information, the control server uses the first authentication public key to encrypt the insulated cabinet information as first encrypted information and the second authentication public key to encrypt the storage cell information as second encrypted information, the control server receives the first authentication private key and the second authentication private key from the insulated cabinet, decrypts the first encrypted information using the first authentication private key to generate an insulated cabinet door unlock command, and decrypts the second encrypted information using the second authentication private key to generate a storage cell door open command, which are fed back to the insulated cabinet, the insulated cabinet door locking device unlocks the insulated cabinet door according to the insulated cabinet door unlock command, and the corresponding storage cell door locking device unlocks the storage cell door and opens the storage cell door according to the storage cell door open command.

[0051] This technical measure solves the problem existing in the prior art that conventional insulated cabinets consume excessive energy to achieve the heat retention effect when putting items in and out, and further achieves the technical effect of storing items individually in the insulated cabinet and unlocking the insulated cabinet door and the corresponding storage cell door simultaneously.
