Electronic Locker Biometric Pickup Payment for Timeout Parcels
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The current parcel pickup process from electronic lockers is complex and inefficient, requiring separate identity authentication and payment steps, especially for timeout parcels, leading to long wait times and poor user experience.
Innovation Solution
Integrate identity authentication and payment through biometric feature matching, where a user's biometric data is collected and stored in advance, allowing for seamless authentication and fee deduction during the pickup process, reducing the need for multiple operations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If separate identity authentication and payment steps are implemented for parcel pickup, then security and fee collection are ensured, but the pickup process becomes complex and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines identity authentication and payment verification into a single integrated process. The system uses biometric authentication (fingerprint, facial recognition, or iris recognition) to simultaneously verify the user's identity and authorize payment, eliminating the need for separate authentication and payment steps while maintaining both security and fee collection
2Reliability
If multiple operation steps are required for timeout parcel pickup, then fee collection is ensured, but user experience deteriorates and wait time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-storing biometric information during the authentication phase and pre-calculating payment amounts based on storage duration. When a user picks up a timeout parcel, the system has already prepared the authentication data and payment terms, allowing for rapid verification and immediate fee deduction without requiring multiple sequential operations
3Ease of operation
If traditional code-based authentication is used, then users can pick up parcels, but the process requires manual input and multiple verification steps
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces manual code input and verification with automated biometric recognition systems. Instead of requiring users to physically enter codes or scan QR codes through multiple steps, the system uses fingerprint scanners, facial recognition cameras, or iris recognition devices to automatically authenticate users, eliminating mechanical input operations and significantly improving pickup efficiency

AI summary
Embodiments of this application disclose an electronic locker control method performed by an electronic device. The method includes: invoking a biometric feature collection device to collect the second biometric feature of the first target object in response to a pickup operation of the first target object for the electronic locker, and matching the second biometric feature of the first target object with first biometric features in the biometric feature database; transmitting a pickup payment request to the first server when the first biometric feature matching the second biometric feature exists in the biometric feature database; and transmitting the first opening instruction to a target electronic storage compartment corresponding to the first target order in the electronic locker to control a locker door of the target electronic storage compartment to be opened when receiving a payment success response returned by the first server.
