[0037] This illustrative embodiment provides an IoT-based (Internet of
Things based ) intelligent food delivery container. As shown in FIG. 1, the IoT-based
(Internet of Things based ) intelligent food delivery container comprises a container
body 800, an electronic lock 100, a controller 200, a data receiving module 300, a data acquisition module 400, a data comparison module 500 and a temperature control module 900. Wherein, the electronic lock 100 is disposed on a door (not shown) of the container body 800 and is used for locking the door, the controller 200 is electrically connected to the electronic lock 100 and is used for controlling locking and unlocking of the electronic lock 100, the data receiving module 300 is used for receiving food delivery order information sent from a terminal, identity verification information of a consignee and temperature-control mode information of the food delivery container, the food-delivery order information, the identity verification information of the consignee and the temperature-control mode information of the food delivery container are set by a user when the user orders foods via a terminal, and the data acquisition module 400 is used for acquiring information of the consignee. The temperature control module 900 is electrically connected to the data receiving module
300 and the controller 200 and is used for controlling the temperature in the food
delivery container. The data comparison module 500 is electrically connected to the
controller 200, the data receiving module 300 and the data acquisition module 400
and is used for comparing the information of the consignee with the identity

controller 200, when the comparison result indicates that the information of the
consignee is identical with the identity verification information of the consignee, the
controller 200 controls the electronic lock 100 to be unlocked.
[0038] In the embodiments of the disclosure, when ordering food, a user
can select the food delivery container through the terminal and sends identity
verification information of a consignee and temperature-control mode information of
the food delivery container to the food delivery container. After a merchant receives
the order, a delivery man goes up to the restaurant carrying with the portable food
delivery container and locks the food delivery container with the electronic lock after
placing food in the container. On one hand, the data receiving module 300 on the food
delivery container receives the temperature-control mode information and then feeds
the temperature-control mode information back to the controller 200, and then, the
controller 200 controls the temperature control module 900 to control the temperature in the food delivery container to a mode temperature set by the user. On the other hand, when the food delivery container locked with the electronic lock 100 is to be opened, information of the consignee is acquired by the data acquisition unit 400, and the electronic lock of the food delivery container will not be unlocked unless the information of the consignee is identical with the previously-received identity verification information of the consignee. In this way, the delivery man has no way to learn about the identity verification information set by the user, and only the user or the consignee knowing the identity verification information can open the food delivery container to take the food out, so that the phenomenon that the delivery man opens the food delivery container without permission in the delivery process is avoided, the security of takeout food in the delivery process is improved to some extent, and the trust of the user in the takeout food is improved.
[0039] The IoT-based (Internet of Things based ) intelligent food delivery container provided by the disclosure can be accessed to the network to realize a communication function, and information can be transmitted between the IoT-based (Internet of Things based ) intelligent food delivery container and the terminal through a communication module 700 in the food delivery container. Of course, the food delivery container can directly communicate with the terminal or indirectly communicate with the terminal via a server. Specifically, the communication module 700 may be accessed to the Internet via a WiFi or cellular network and is in communication connection with the terminal.
[0040] The terminal can be implemented in different forms. For example, the terminal in the invention may be a mobile terminal such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a laptop, a palmtop, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a portable media player (PMP), a navigation device, a wearable device, a smart bracelet or a pedometer, or a fixed terminal such as a digital TV and a desk computer.
[0041] In one embodiment, the portable container comprises an outer container and an inner container, wherein the inner container is nested in the outer container, and a cavity is formed between the inner container and the outer container. The controller 200, the data receiving module 300, the data acquisition module 400, the data comparison module 500 and the temperature control module 900 are all disposed in the cavity.
[0042] Specifically, a thermal insulation layer is disposed between the outer container and the inner container, a heating assembly, a refrigeration assembly and a temperature sensor are disposed at an external bottom of the inner container and are electrically connected to the temperature control module 900, the temperature sensor is used for transmitting a current temperature variation, the heating assembly is used for heating the inner container, and the refrigeration assembly is used for cooling the inner container.
[0043] In one embodiment, the IoT-based (Internet of Things based) intelligent food delivery container further comprises an information sending module 600 which is electrically connected to the electronic lock 100 and the data receiving module 300 and is used for sending information, indicating whether or not an order is to be received, to the terminal. When the data receiving module 300 receives the food delivery order information sent from the terminal and the identity verification information of the consignee, the information sending module 600 sends order receiving suspension information to the terminal, and at this moment, this food delivery container cannot be selected anymore when other users order food. After food is placed into the IoT-based (Internet of Things based ) intelligent food delivery container, the controller 200 controls the electronic lock 100 to be locked; when the consignee opens the food delivery container and takes the food away, the food delivery container finishes this order and can receive a new order. That is, when monitoring that the electronic lock 100 of the food delivery container is switched to an unlocked state from a locked state, the information sending module 600 sends "start to receive order" information to the terminal.
[0044] Specifically, the electronic lock 100 may be provided with an information card, and state information of the electronic lock 100, such as the locking or unlocking state, fault state and number of times of use of the electronic lock 100,etc , will be recorded in the information card. The information sending module 600 can acquire the locking or unlocking state of the electronic lock 100 directly through the information card.
[0045] In one embodiment, the identity verification information of the consignee received by the data receiving module 300 may include facial image information or numerical password information.
[0046] Specifically, when a user opens a food ordering APP on a terminal to place an order, the serial numbers information of multiple food delivery containers will appear on a food ordering interface of the terminal, and the user selects one food delivery container, selects a temperature-control mode of the food delivery container according to ordered food, such as a thermal insulation mode, a refrigerating mode or a freezing mode, and inputs identity verification information of a consignee such as a food-taking numerical password set by the consignee or a facial image of the consignee. The terminal sends the food order information, the identity verification information of the consignee and the temperature-control mode information of the food delivery container to the food delivery container, the data receiving module 300 of the food delivery container receives the information and feeds the information back to the controller 200, and the controller 200 controls the electronic lock 100 to be unlocked and controls the temperature control module 900 to control the temperature in the food delivery container according to a set mode. At the same time, the information sending module 600 sends order receiving suspension information to the terminal. At this moment, this food delivery container cannot be selected anymore when other users place an order. Specifically, the information of the food delivery container is hidden and will not be displayed on food ordering interface of the terminal; or, the color of this food delivery container is changed, so that this food delivery container cannot be selected by users anymore.
[0047] After the delivery man reaches the restaurant carrying with the food delivery container and puts food into the food delivery container, the electronic lock 100 will be kept in a locked state. When the user takes the food, the data acquisition module 400 acquires information of the consignee, wherein the information of the consignee should be identical with the identity verification information input when the food is ordered. For example, if the identity verification information input when the food is ordered is a password, a password should be input when the food is received; similarly, if the identity verification information input when the food is ordered is a facial image, a facial image should be used when the food is received. Specifically, a camera or a password input unit may be installed on the food delivery container to acquire information.
[0048] The data comparison module 500 of the food delivery container compares the information of the consignee with the identity verification information of the consignee and sends a comparison result to the controller 200; if the comparison result indicates that the information of the consignee is identical with the identity verification information of the consignee, the controller 200 controls the electronic lock 100 to be unlocked. At the same time, the information sending module 600 monitors that the electronic lock 100 is switched from the locked state to the unlocked state and sends "start to receive order" information to the terminal. The information of the food delivery container is displayed on the food ordering interface again, or the color of the food delivery container returns to normal, so that the food delivery container can be selected by users.
[0049] To sum up, the IoT-based (Internet of Things based ) intelligent food delivery container provided by the disclosure is in communication connection with the terminal, and users directly participate in verification and management of the food delivery container in the food ordering process, that is, only the users or consignees knowing the identity verification information can open the food delivery container to take the food out, so that the phenomenon that the delivery man opens the food delivery container without permission in the delivery process is avoided, the security of takeout food in the delivery process is improved to some extent, and the trust of the users in the takeout food is improved.
[0050] This illustrative embodiment further provides a management control method of an IoT-based (Internet of Things based ) intelligent food delivery container. As shown in FIG. 2, the method comprises the following steps:
[0051] SI: food delivery order information sent from a terminal, identity verification information of a consignee and temperature-control mode information of a food delivery container are received, and an electronic lock of the food delivery container is controlled to be in an unlocked state, wherein the food delivery order information, the identity verification information of the consignee and the temperature-control mode information of the food delivery container are set by a user when the user orders food via a terminal;
[0052] S2: order receiving suspension information is sent to the terminal;
[0053] S3: the temperature in the food delivery container is controlled according to the received temperature-control mode information;
[0054] S4: whether or not food is placed into the food delivery container is detected; if so, the electronic lock of the food delivery container is controlled to be locked;and
[0055] S5: information of the consignee is acquired and is compared with the identity verification information of the consignee; when the information of the consignee is identical with the identity verification information of the consignee, the electronic lock is controlled to be unlocked.
[0056] In one embodiment, the method further comprises the following step to be performed after S5: "start to receive order" information is sent to the terminal
[0057] Specifically, information is transmitted between the IoT-based (Internet of Things based ) intelligent food delivery container and the terminal through a communication module. In Step SI, the identity verification information of the consignee includes facial image information or numerical password information. In Step S5, the information of the consignee is acquired through a camera or a password input unit.
[0058] In one specific embodiment, when a user opens a food ordering APP on a terminal to place an order, the serial numbers of multiple food delivery containers will appear on a food ordering interface of the terminal, and the user selects one food delivery container, selects a temperature-control mode of the food delivery container according to ordered food, such as a thermal insulation mode, a refrigerating mode or a freezing mode, and inputs identity verification information of a consignee such as a food-taking numerical password set by the consignee or a facial image of the consignee. The terminal sends the food order information, the identity verification information of the consignee and the temperature-control mode information of the food delivery container to the food delivery container, the data receiving module of the food delivery container receives the information and feeds the information back to the controller, and the controller controls the electronic lock to be unlocked and controls the temperature control module to control the temperature in the food delivery container according to a set mode. At the same time, the information sending module sends order receiving suspension information to the terminal. At this moment, this food delivery container cannot be selected anymore when other users place an order. Specifically, the information of the food delivery container is hidden and will not be displayed on food ordering interface of the terminal; or, the color of this food delivery container is changed, so that this food delivery container cannot be selected by users anymore.
[0059] After the delivery man reaches the restaurant carrying with the food
delivery container and puts food into the food delivery container, the electronic lock
will be kept in a locked state. When the user takes the food, the data acquisition
module acquires information of the consignee, wherein the information of the
consignee should be identical with the identity verification information input when the
food is ordered. For example, if the identity verification information input when the
food is ordered is a password, a password should be input when the food is received;
similarly, if the identity verification information input when the food is ordered is a
facial image, a facial image should be used when the food is received. Specifically, a
camera or a password input unit may be installed on the food delivery container to
acquire information.
[0060] The data comparison module of the food delivery container
compares the information of the consignee with the identity verification information
of the consignee and sends a comparison result to the controller; if the comparison
result indicates that the information of the consignee is identical with the identity
verification information of the consignee, the controller controls the electronic lock to
be unlocked. At the same time, the information sending module monitors that the electronic lock is switched from the locked state to the unlocked state and sends "start to receive order" information to the terminal. The information of the food delivery container is displayed on the food ordering interface again, or the color of the food delivery container returns to normal, so that the food delivery container can be selected by users.
[0061] To sum up, the IoT-based (Internet of Things based ) intelligent food delivery container provided by the disclosure is in communication connection with the terminal, and users directly participate in verification and management of the food delivery container in the food ordering process, that is, only the users or consignees knowing the identity verification information can open the food delivery container to take the food out, so that the phenomenon that the delivery man opens the food delivery container without permission in the delivery process is avoided, the security of takeout food in the delivery process is improved to some extent, and the trust of the users in the takeout food is improved.
