Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] However, in the technology of Patent Document 1, the display is controlled separately for each locker with a door, and the advertisement is displayed only when the user uses it, and there is a problem that the advertisement time is short and the revenue of the advertising fee is small. Also, even if the same advertisement is displayed on the displays of all the doors, since each screen is small, for example, people passing by the place where the storage device is installed cannot understand the content of the advertisement and the advertisement does not function as an advertisement.

[0005] Furthermore, because the display and control panel were arranged side-by-side on the door surface, it was impossible to simultaneously synchronize multiple displays to show advertisements on a large screen.

[0006] Therefore, the storage device of the present invention aims to solve the above problems and provide a large display that is recognizable as an advertisement to people passing by the location where the storage device is installed. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] The storage device of the present invention has the following configuration. (1) A storage device having multiple lockers with doors for storing items and a control device for controlling the opening and closing state of the lockers with doors, characterized in that a display is attached to the surface of the door, the display area is 70% or more of the area of ​​the door, the control device has an image control means that separately controls an independent display mode in which the image to be displayed on the display is displayed independently for each door, and an overall screen display mode in which an integrated image is displayed in conjunction with the entire set of displays, the independent display mode provides usage information for using the lockers, and the overall screen display mode provides advertisements.

[0008] (2) The storage device described in (1) is characterized in that the usage information in the independent display mode includes information indicating available lockers with doors, and the advertising display in the full screen display mode includes at least one of tourist information, souvenir information, and sports broadcast information.

[0009] (3) In the storage device described in (1) or (2), the control device is characterized by obtaining reservation information reserved in advance by the user from the mobile terminal and displaying the reserved locker with a door in an independent display mode.

[0010] (4) Any one of the storage devices described in (1) to (3) is characterized in that the storage device is installed in a public transport terminal, and the advertisement displayed in full-screen display mode includes public transport operation information obtained from the terminal's office, or local weather information.

[0011] (5) Any one of the storage devices described in (1) to (3) is characterized in that the storage device is installed in a place where many people gather, such as a shopping mall or a theme park, and the advertisement displayed in full-screen display mode includes advertisement information obtained from an office in a place where many people gather.

[0012] (6)Any of the storage devices described in (1) to (5) is characterized in that the information displayed in the overall screen display mode is different when the use of the locker with a door is started and when the use of the locker with a door is ended.

[0013] The storage device having the above configuration will produce the following functions and effects. (1) A storage device having multiple lockers with doors for storing items and a control device for controlling the opening and closing state of the lockers with doors, wherein a display is mounted on the surface of each door, the display area is 70% or more of the door area, and the control device has image control means that separately control an independent display mode in which the image to be displayed on each door is displayed independently, and an overall screen display mode in which a unified image is displayed in conjunction with the entire set of displays, and in the independent display mode, usage information for using the lockers is provided, and in the overall screen display mode, advertisements are displayed. As a result, the surface of the locker doors can be almost entirely covered by displays, except for the gaps between the lockers, and at the same time, advertisements can be provided in overall screen display mode when the lockers are not in use. Therefore, advertisements can be provided to people passing by the location where the storage device is installed using large, recognizable displays, thereby significantly enhancing the advertising functionality.

[0014] (2) The storage device described in (1) is characterized in that the usage information in the independent display mode includes information indicating available lockers with doors, and the advertising display in the full-screen display mode includes at least one of tourist information, souvenir information, and sports broadcast information. For example, if the storage device is installed on the wall of a train station concourse in a tourist area, tourist information and souvenir information can be provided to tourists, thus increasing the value of providing advertising and generating more profit in the form of advertising fees. In addition, by broadcasting sports, it is possible to attract the attention of people waiting, and thus revenue can be expected to be generated from television stations. Furthermore, if users are using lockers with doors, displaying the location of available lockers can improve user convenience.

[0015] (3) In the storage device described in (1) or (2), the control device is characterized by obtaining reservation information reserved in advance by the user from the mobile terminal and displaying the reserved locker with a door in an independent display mode. At station terminals and the like, lockers with doors are often installed in hard-to-find locations, making it difficult for users to find an available locker. To avoid this, users can make a reservation using their mobile terminal, and the location of the reserved locker with a door will be displayed on the mobile terminal's screen. When the user arrives in front of the storage device and wants to use a locker with a door, the reserved locker with a door will be displayed, thereby improving user convenience. Furthermore, because it has an advertising function, the storage device can be installed in conspicuous locations such as station concourses, making it easy for users to find the device.

[0016] (4) Any one of the storage devices described in (1) to (3) is characterized in that the storage device is installed in a public transport terminal, and the advertisements displayed in full-screen display mode include public transport operation information or local weather information obtained from the terminal's office. For example, if the storage device is installed in the concourse of a railway station terminal, a large number of railway users will be passing by it at all times, so the railway company can efficiently provide users with the information they need quickly and accurately, thereby improving user convenience.

[0017] (5) Any one of the storage devices described in (1) to (3) is characterized in that the storage device is installed in a place where many people gather, such as a shopping mall or a theme park, and the advertisement displayed in full-screen display mode includes advertising information obtained from an office in a place where many people gather. For example, if the storage device is installed in a shopping mall, many shopping mall users will be passing by it at all times, so the shopping mall can efficiently and quickly and accurately provide advertisements that attract the interest of users, thereby enhancing the advertising functionality.

[0018] (6)Any of the storage devices described in (1) to (5) is characterized in that the information displayed in the overall screen display mode differs when the locker with a door is put into use and when the locker with a door is put into use. For example, when luggage is left at a train station terminal in the morning, it is presumed that the user will be going sightseeing, so sightseeing information is provided. Also, when luggage is retrieved in the evening, it is presumed that the user will be returning home after sightseeing, so displaying messages such as "How was your sightseeing?" or "We look forward to your next visit" on the display provides a heartfelt welcome to the user.

[0020] Embodiments of the storage device of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. Figure 1 shows a front view of the storage device 1 of the present invention, and Figure 2 shows a perspective view of the storage device 1. Figure 3 shows an electrical configuration diagram of the storage device 1 of the present invention.

[0021] First, the configuration of the storage device 1 of the present invention will be described. As shown in Figure 1, the storage device consists of a plurality of lockers 11 with doors for storing items, an operating unit 21 for the user to put items in and take them out, an image control device 31, and a locker opening / closing control device 41.

[0022] The locker with doors 11 consists of 20 units arranged in 5 vertical rows and 4 horizontal rows. A thin display 13 is mounted on the surface of each door 12. The size of the display 13 is more than 70% of the surface area of ​​the door 12, due to the need to mount the display 13 and to open and close the door 12 of the locker 11. In this way, the display 13 can be placed on almost the entire surface of the door 12 of the locker 11, except for the gaps between the displays 13. There is a gap of several tens of millimeters between the displays 13 of adjacent lockers 11, and the image displayed on the full screen of the display 13 has some gaps. However, due to an optical illusion, the human eye perceives a window grate in the foreground, making it easy to imagine what the distant image is. However, text is always displayed on the display 13. This is because the effect of gaps is greater on text than on images, making it difficult to distinguish.

[0023] In this embodiment, the five vertical rows of the locker 11 are labeled a, b, c, d, and e from top to bottom, and the four horizontal rows are labeled A, B, C, and D from left to right as appropriate. The top left locker in the diagram is designated 11Aa, the top right locker 11Da, the bottom left locker 11Ae, and the bottom right locker 11De. Other lockers with doors located between these are also indicated by symbols to show how many rows and columns they are. In this embodiment, of the five vertical rows, the first to fourth rows are lockers sized for hand luggage (approximately 20cm x 35cm), and the fifth row is a locker sized for large luggage such as suitcases (approximately 20cm x 64cm).

[0024] As shown in Figure 1, the operation unit 21 consists of a camera 22 for recognizing the user, a touch panel 23 with an LCD screen for exchanging information with the user, a QR code reader 24 for reading data such as QR codes (registered trademarks) from the user, and a numeric keypad 25 for inputting data from the user. Data input from the user is performed using either the QR code reader 24 or the numeric keypad 25.

[0025] The storage device 1 is equipped with a control device that controls the opening and closing state of a locker 11 with a door where the user stores items, based on data input from the user's mobile terminal. The control device includes an image control device 31, a communication device 33, and a locker opening / closing control device 41.

[0026] Each locker with a door 11 is equipped with a locker lock opening / closing mechanism 111. The locker opening / closing control device 41 includes a CPU 411 and a memory 412, as shown in Figure 3. The memory 412 contains a program 4121 for opening and closing the locker lock opening / closing mechanism 111. The locker opening / closing control device 41 automatically opens and closes the door 12 of the locker with a door 11. For example, when opening, a spring is used to open it instantaneously, and when closing, a motor is used to close it over a period of time. When closing, the user may also close it manually by pushing it. When displaying the entire screen on the display 13, if the door 12 is open, the angle of the display 13 is poor and the overall view is difficult, so the door 12 must always be closed, except when the user is putting items in or taking them out.

[0027] As shown in Figure 3, the image control device 31 includes a CPU 311 and a memory 312. The memory 312 includes, for example, an independent display program 3121 for an independent display mode in which images to be displayed on the display 13 are displayed independently for each door 12, and an overall screen display program 3122 for an overall screen display mode in which a unified image is displayed in conjunction across multiple displays 13. The overall screen display program 3122 includes various advertising programs.

[0028] In the image control device 31, via the image distributor 32, the overall screen display program 3122 normally displays, for example, a company's advertisement to all displays 13. When a user approaches and the camera 22 recognizes that user, a different image is displayed. When the camera 22 does not detect a person, the overall screen display program 3122 displays an advertisement, and the image switches, for example, when a person with their front facing the locker enters within a 2m range. In this embodiment, an inexpensive, high-speed image distributor 32 is used, and images are displayed on the display 13 via multiple image distributors 32.

[0029] <First Embodiment> The storage device 1 according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to Figures 4 and 5. Note that Figures 4 and onward show only the portion of the storage device 1 with multiple doors, namely the locker 11 section, as shown in Figure 1. First, as shown in Figure 10, the user checks for available lockers at the station via a network N such as the internet using their mobile device K, and reserves a locker. At this time, the user can check the size of the locker in advance and select a locker size according to the size of their luggage. Also, for example, if the user wants to use a station locker, they can use the GPS function of their mobile phone to specify the nearest locker from among the multiple lockers at the station. For example, if there are multiple storage units on the station map, such as two on the north side and three on the south side, the GPS function can pinpoint the current location and select the closest locker. Lockers are usually located in hard-to-find places, and it can be difficult for users to find an available locker. To avoid this, users can reserve a locker in advance using their mobile device, and the location of the locker will be displayed on the mobile device screen, allowing the user to go to the storage unit 1, thus improving user convenience.

[0030] The locker provider sends the user data that includes information to identify the reserved locker, such as a QR code or keypad. This data has an expiration date; for example, if the locker is not used within 3 hours of reservation, the reservation is canceled and the locker becomes available to the next user.

[0031] When a user approaches the storage device 1, the camera 22 on the operation unit 21 recognizes the user, and the display 13 switches from displaying advertisements to displaying information relevant to the user. Under normal circumstances, the CPU 311's overall screen display program 3122 is used to display advertisements using the entire display 13, as shown in Figure 4. Except when a user is attempting to use the locker with a door 11, the overall screen display program 3122 can provide advertisements, and since advertisements can be provided using the large display 13 which is recognizable to people passing by the location where the storage device 1 is installed, the advertising functionality can be fully realized. As for the advertisement, as shown in Figures 15 to 18, if it is a video of a length that can be seen as a person passes by the storage device 1, it can attract the attention of passersby even more and enhance the advertising functionality. Note that Figure 19 represents a video in a single drawing.

[0032] When a user uses the system, the display switches to the corresponding display, providing information on how to use the locker with a door 11. For example, using the independent display program 3121, a guide appears on the display 13 of the lockers 11Aa, 11Ba, 11Ab, and 11Bb, pointing an arrow towards the QR code reader 24 and displaying the message, "Please hold the QR code over the reader." The user follows the instructions and enters the QR code displayed on their mobile device or the keypad into the QR code reader 24. As a result, the image control device 31 and the locker opening / closing control device 41 obtain the reservation information of the locker that the user has reserved in advance from their mobile device and identify the reserved locker with a door 11. The display 13 of the identified locker lights up, for example, via the independent display program 3122, so that the user can immediately recognize which locker it is. After a certain period of time, the door 12 of the locker with a door 11 opens. The user then stores their belongings in the locker. Finally, the locker 11 is locked by pushing and closing the door 12 of the locker 11. At this time, the basic daily fee is deducted from the pre-registered credit card or cashless payment method.

[0033] Next, we will explain what happens when the user retrieves their belongings from the locker 11. When the user retrieves their belongings from the locker 11, they again enter the data sent by the locker provider. In this case, if the usage period exceeds the basic daily rate for the locker, for example, if the locker has been used for two days, the excess amount will be deducted from the pre-registered credit card or cashless payment method. Once all payments are completed by entering the data, the door 12 of the locker 11 opens. The user retrieves their belongings and closes the door 12 of the locker 11.

[0034] <Second Embodiment> Next, we will explain how a user can use a locker without making a reservation. When a user approaches a locker, the camera 22 recognizes the user, and the display 13 switches from the overall screen display program 3122 to the independent display program 3121. In the overall screen display program 3122, for example, if the storage device 1 is installed at a train station or airport in a tourist area, tourist information and souvenir information may be displayed, as shown in Figures 7 and 8, or weather information such as the local weather for each hour, and rain cloud radar and thundercloud radar for the surrounding area may be displayed. Also, if the storage device 1 is installed at a stadium for baseball, sumo, soccer, etc., sports broadcast information and scoreboard images of baseball or soccer matches may be displayed, as shown in Figure 9. Furthermore, if the storage device 1 is installed at a horse racing track or boat racing track, race broadcast information, odds display, and instructions on how to buy betting tickets (horse racing tickets) may be displayed. Information of high interest to people in the location where the storage device is installed is displayed as an advertisement, increasing the value of providing advertisements and allowing for greater profits in the form of advertising fees.

[0035] The independent display program 3121 displays information on the display 13 indicating available lockers with doors, for example, the word "Available" as shown in Figure 6, and the dimensions of the available lockers, for example, the word "20cm x 35cm". Lockers in use may also be displayed as "In Use". Instead of dimensions, general information such as large, medium, or small lockers may be used. Alternatively, only available lockers may be illuminated, or only available lockers may be numbered. The user can easily see which lockers are available at a glance by looking at the lockers displayed on the independent display program 3121, and can select which locker to use using the touch panel 23 or keypad 25, providing high user convenience.

[0036] <Third Embodiment> The third embodiment is the same as the first or second embodiment in that the user reserves a locker or does not reserve one, stores their luggage, and finally retrieves their luggage; therefore, no explanation is provided. For example, the storage device 1 may be installed in a public transport terminal. Public transport includes railways, airplanes, buses, ferries, etc. In this case, the advertisements displayed by the overall screen display program 3122 may display public transport operation information obtained from the terminal office as shown in Figure 11, or local weather information as shown in Figure 12. As shown in Figure 10, the terminal office T can obtain operation information etc. via the communication device 33 through the network N and display it on the display 13. Public transport operation information includes information that was normally handled by station staff by hand on bulletin boards, such as the time of the next train when trains are delayed due to typhoons, and information on alternative train services. For example, the storage device may be installed in places where many people gather, such as shopping malls or theme parks. The advertisement displayed in full-screen mode may display advertising information obtained from the offices of the shopping mall or theme park. Because the advertising information can be changed according to the demographics of visitors and the time of day in relation to events held at the shopping mall or theme park, it is possible to quickly and accurately provide advertisements that efficiently attract the attention of users, thereby enhancing the functionality of advertising.

[0037] When a user approaches a locker and is recognized by the camera 22, the overall screen display program 3122 may display different information when the locker with a door 11 is used and when its use is finished. For example, when use begins, the words "Welcome" are displayed along with an attendant, as shown in Figure 13. When use ends, the attendant may bow and display words such as "Thank you for your hard work! Please be careful on your way home," as shown in Figure 14.

[0038] As explained above, according to the storage device 1 of this embodiment, (1) A storage device 1 having a plurality of lockers 11 with doors for storing items and a control device for controlling the opening and closing state of the lockers 11, wherein a display 13 is attached to the surface of the door 12, the area of ​​the display 13 is 70% or more of the area of ​​the door 12, and the control device has an image control device 31 that separately controls an independent display mode (independent display program 3121) in which the image to be displayed on the display 13 is displayed independently for each door 12, and an overall screen display mode (overall screen display program 3122) in which an integrated image is displayed in conjunction with the entire plurality of displays 13, and the independent display program 312 In this system, the system provides usage information for using the locker with door 11, and the full-screen display program 3122 provides advertisements. Therefore, the surface of the door 12 of the locker with door 11 can be almost entirely covered by the display 13, except for the gaps between the lockers. At the same time, advertisements can be provided by the full-screen display program 3122 when the locker 11 is not in use. This allows advertisements to be delivered to people passing by the location where the storage device 1 is installed using a large, recognizable display 13, thereby significantly enhancing the advertising functionality.

[0039] (2) The storage device 1 described in (1) is characterized in that the usage information of the independent display program 3121 includes information indicating which lockers with doors 11 are available, and the advertising display of the overall screen display program 3122 includes at least one of tourist information, souvenir information, and sports broadcast information. For example, if the storage device 1 is installed along the wall of the concourse of a train station in a tourist area, tourist information and souvenir information can be provided to tourists, thus increasing the value of providing advertising and generating more profit in the form of advertising fees. In addition, by broadcasting sports, it is possible to attract the attention of people waiting, and thus revenue can be expected to be generated from television stations. Furthermore, when a user uses a locker with a door 11, the location of an available locker with a door 11 can be displayed, thereby improving user convenience.

[0040] (3) In the storage device 1 described in (1) or (2), the control device is characterized in that it obtains reservation information reserved in advance by the user from the mobile terminal and displays the reserved locker with a door 11 using an independent display program 3121. At station terminals and the like, lockers with doors 11 are often installed in hard-to-find locations, making it difficult for users to find an available locker. To avoid this, users can make a reservation using their mobile terminal, and the location of the reserved locker with a door 11 is displayed on the mobile terminal screen. When the user arrives in front of the storage device 1 and wants to use a locker with a door 11, the reserved locker with a door 11 is displayed, thereby improving user convenience. Furthermore, because it has an advertising function, the storage device 1 can be installed in a conspicuous location such as a station concourse, making it easy for users to find the storage device 1.

[0041] (4) Any one of the storage devices 1 described in (1) to (3) is characterized in that the storage device 1 is installed in a public transport terminal, and the advertisements displayed by the overall screen display program 3122 include public transport operation information or local weather information obtained from the terminal's office. For example, if the storage device is installed in the concourse of a railway station terminal, a large number of railway users will be passing by it at all times, so the railway company can efficiently provide users with the information they need quickly and accurately, thereby improving user convenience.

[0042] (5) Any one of the storage devices described in (1) to (3) is characterized in that the storage device 1 is installed in a place where many people gather, such as a shopping mall or a theme park, and the advertisement displayed in full-screen display mode includes advertising information obtained from an office in a place where many people gather. For example, if the storage device is installed in a shopping mall, many shopping mall users will be passing by it at all times, so the shopping mall can efficiently and quickly and accurately provide advertisements that attract the interest of users, thereby enhancing the advertising functionality.

[0043] (6)Any one of the storage devices 1 described in (1) to (5) is characterized in that the information displayed on the overall screen display program 3122 is different when the locker with a door 11 is put into use and when the locker with a door 11 is put into use. For example, when use is put into use, an attendant and the words "Welcome" are displayed, and when use is put into use, the attendant bows and the message "Thank you for your hard work! Please be careful on your way home" is displayed on the screen, providing a heartfelt welcome to the user.

[0044] This embodiment is merely illustrative and does not limit the present invention in any way. Therefore, the present invention can naturally be modified in various ways without departing from its spirit. [Explanation of Symbols]
