Solution Overview

Problem

In the field of e-commerce, 'last mile' delivery efficiency is hindered by the lack of interoperability between different delivery platforms, resulting in inefficient resource sharing and poor user experience due to isolated intelligent delivery lockers.

Innovation Solution

A locker opening control method that enables users to access and open intelligent delivery lockers across different platforms by sending a login request with authorization credentials, allowing the server to request user information and control locker access, thereby facilitating one-tap locker opening and integrating delivery resources.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If each delivery platform maintains its own isolated intelligent delivery lockers, then platform-specific delivery services can be provided, but delivery resources cannot be shared and integration is poor, resulting in low delivery efficiency

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedelivery efficiencyVSAvoidresource sharing capability
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The intelligent delivery locker system is designed to serve multiple delivery platforms simultaneously. The locker controller can authenticate and serve users from different platforms through a unified interface, allowing the same physical locker infrastructure to be shared across multiple platforms. This multi-functionality enables resource sharing while maintaining service capabilities for each platform.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

Multiple delivery platform resources are merged into a unified locker management system. The system combines user information, order data, and locker control capabilities from different platforms into a single integrated architecture, enabling centralized resource allocation and shared access while preserving platform-specific characteristics.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Reliability

If delivery platforms operate independently without information sharing, then each platform maintains its own user base and control, but information interoperability is lacking and user experience is poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveplatform independenceVSAvoiduser experience
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

An intermediary information sharing mechanism is introduced between delivery platforms and the locker system. This intermediary layer enables platforms to exchange necessary information (user credentials, order details) without directly exposing their internal systems. The intermediary facilitates interoperability and seamless user experience while preserving platform independence and security.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Ease of manufacture

If multiple delivery platforms require separate locker systems, then each platform can maintain its own service standards, but delivery resources are wasted and cannot be integrated

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveplatform service autonomyVSAvoiddelivery resource utilization
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The locker system is designed with universal functionality to serve multiple platforms simultaneously. A single locker unit can authenticate users from different platforms, process orders from various sources, and maintain service standards for each platform. This eliminates the need for separate locker systems for each platform, maximizing resource utilization while preserving service autonomy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

A locker opening control method, including: sending, based on a triggering operation by a user, a login request carrying a user authorization credential to a first server, so that the first server requests user information from a second server based on the user authorization credential; receiving pickup information corresponding to the user information sent by the first server; displaying, based on the pickup information, a pickup detail page including a locker opening function button; and in response to a triggering operation on the locker opening function button on the pickup detail page by the user, sending a locker opening request to the first server.
