Vehicle-Based Logistics Receiving System with Remote Video Verification
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing express delivery methods face challenges such as insecure delivery processes, potential safety hazards, and disputes when recipients are not present to receive articles, as deliverymen may need to enter homes, exposing them to risks and allowing others to receive packages incorrectly.
Innovation Solution
A receiving method and device for on-vehicle logistics that uses a vehicle as a secure delivery point, where a recipient can remotely activate cameras to monitor the delivery process, open and lock a designated space within the vehicle, and receive GPS and acousto-optic signals to facilitate secure and verified article transfer.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If the deliveryman delivers the article directly to the recipient's address, then the delivery process is simple and fast, but safety hazards and disputes occur when the recipient is not present
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a vehicle as an intermediary receiving point between the deliveryman and the recipient. The vehicle serves as a secure temporary storage location where the deliveryman can deliver articles without direct contact with the recipient, while the recipient can remotely monitor and control the delivery process through a terminal device, thus resolving the contradiction between fast delivery and secure delivery.
2Ease of operation
If the deliveryman enters the recipient's residence to deliver the article, then face-to-face handover is enabled, but internal information of the residence is exposed and safety hazards occur
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the delivery handover process from the recipient's residence and relocates it to a vehicle. By taking out the delivery interaction from the private residence environment, the system eliminates the security risks associated with deliverymen entering homes while maintaining the convenience of direct handover through remote monitoring and control capabilities.
3Adaptability or versatility
If others receive the article on behalf of the recipient, then delivery can be completed when recipient is absent, but disputes arise about article condition and timing
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the recipient can remotely view real-time video footage from cameras in the vehicle and control the delivery process through a terminal device. This allows the recipient to verify the delivery process, article condition, and timing without being physically present, while preventing unauthorized persons from receiving articles on behalf of the recipient.

AI summary
The present invention provides a receiving method, system and device for on-vehicle logistics. The method includes: receiving a first control signal from a remote terminal, and activating a camera pointing to a designated space; sending video information of the designated space to the remote terminal; receiving a second control signal from the remote terminal, and opening a predetermined space of a vehicle; and receiving a third control signal from the remote terminal, and locking the predetermined space. According to the receiving method for on-vehicle logistics of the present invention, as the vehicle is used as the receiving place for receiving articles delivered by the deliveryman, insecure factors caused when the deliveryman directly enters houses to deliver the articles are avoided, and the phenomenon that the articles cannot be received because recipients are not at receiving addresses can also be avoided.
