The specific embodiment
Fig. 1 is smart mailbox system of systems topology schematic diagram of the present invention, and Fig. 2 is the module map of the mailbox of one embodiment of the invention, and the structure of the smart mailbox system of present embodiment comprises mailbox 1, mailbox 2 and cloud processing platform 3; As shown in Figure 2, take mailbox 1 as example, mailbox 1 comprises mailbox main frame 13, input unit 18, display device 12 and electric cabinet 14-17.
With reference to figure 1 and Fig. 2, the cloud processing platform 3 of smart mailbox system connects respectively mailbox 1 and mailbox 2, and can carry out telecommunication with express delivery merchant 4, express delivery merchant 5 and user terminal 6 and user terminal 7.
With reference to figure 2, mailbox main frame 13 connects respectively input unit 18 and display device 12, and can control electric cabinet 14-17 and open.
With reference to figure 1 and Fig. 2, mailbox main frame 13 can send to cloud processing platform 3 with the input message obtained from input unit 18 and the information of electric cabinet 14-17, and can control electric cabinet 14-17 and open; Cloud processing platform 3 can obtain the use information by the input message of input unit 18 and electric cabinet 14-17, and the information of required checking in the input message verified, as verify and legally then send the instruction of unpacking to mailbox main frame 13, the information that wherein needs to verify generally comprises courier's identity information and addressee's identity information etc., only by after the checking of cloud processing platform 3, just allow electric cabinet 14-17 to open; Cloud processing platform 3 can be communicated by letter with express delivery merchant 6 with express delivery merchant 5, for example, sends the pickups notice to express delivery merchant 5 and express delivery merchant 6, and the waybill information etc. of obtaining express delivery merchant 5 and express delivery merchant 6.The volume of electric cabinet 14-17 can be different, to be used for depositing the mail of different size.
Fig. 3 be another embodiment of the present invention mailbox module map, such as Fig. 1 and shown in Figure 3, take mailbox 1 as example, mailbox 1 further comprises cash register 21, checkout equipment 22, monitoring camera 19, output equipment 20 and advertisement screen 24.Cash register 21, checkout equipment 22, monitoring camera 19, output equipment 20 and advertisement screen 24 are connected with mailbox main frame 13 respectively.Wherein, cash register 21 can be supported the user to carry out cash or swipe the card and pay the expense of mail.It is damaged or no legal whether checkout equipment 22 has mainly for detection of the mail of delivering, checkout equipment 22 specifically can be x-ray fluoroscopy equipment, x-ray fluoroscopy equipment obtains mail outer packaging picture and perspective internal view, and send to cloud processing platform 3 by mailbox main frame 13, checkout equipment 22 can be installed in each electric cabinet 14-17, also can arrange separately, require the user to carry out first the detection of mail before the outbox, the situation that checkout equipment 22 arranges separately only is shown among Fig. 3.Monitoring camera 19 is used for the surrounding environment of mailbox is recorded a video, and image is sent to cloud processing platform or Control Room.Output equipment 20 mainly be with some information outputs to the user, general output equipment 20 is PRN devices, the information such as payment voucher and e-mail messages can be printed to the user.Advertisement screen 24 can by cloud processing platform 3 or this locality obtains and broadcast advertisement.
As shown in Figure 3, mailbox 1 can also arrange measurement device 23, measurement device 23 is connected with mailbox main frame 13, measurement device 23 is mainly used in measuring the parameters such as weight and volume of mail, to determine the required postage of mail, certainly also can only measure the electric cabinet which kind of volume mail is fit to for some situation, with the difference according to selected electric cabinet volume, calculate corresponding postage, postage generally is by the calculation of parameter such as weight and volume of cloud processing platform 3 according to mail, and payment information is sent to mailbox main frame 13.
For a kind of better embodiment, with reference to figure 1 and shown in Figure 2, input equipment 18 can comprise a two-dimensional bar code scanner (not shown), also can compatible bar code, cloud processing platform 3 can generate corresponding and unique two-dimension code by corresponding each mail, can send in the mode of multimedia message addressee's user terminal 6 and/or user terminal 7, user terminal 6 and user terminal 7 are generally portable terminal (such as mobile phone), the addressee can hold mobile phone and go corresponding mailbox 1 or mailbox 2 pickups, the two-dimension code that the two-dimensional bar code scanner scanning cell phone of mailbox 1 or mailbox 2 shows, and send to cloud processing platform 3 by mailbox main frame 13, verify by the legitimacy of 3 pairs of two-dimension codes of cloud processing platform.
Certainly, in the reality, input equipment 18 can be not limited to the two-dimensional bar code scanner, can also comprise such as keyboard, China second-generation identity card card reader (compatible other types smart card) and fingerprint scanner etc.
For a kind of better embodiment, output equipment 20 may further include adhesive sticker bar code printer, receipt printer and Intelligent card feeder etc.
Wherein, consider for the smart mailbox security of system, as shown in Figure 1, can not directly communicate between general mailbox 1 and mailbox 2 and user terminal 6, user terminal 7, express delivery merchant 4 and the express delivery merchant 5, and all need the operation of being correlated with by cloud processing platform 3.
In conjunction with Fig. 2 and shown in Figure 3, each correspondence of electric cabinet 14-17 is provided with an electric control lock or motor (not shown), and by single-chip microcomputer electric control lock or motor is controlled, and reports on off state to the mailbox main frame after each electric cabinet switch motion.Whether vacant in order to detect electric cabinet 14-17, can at the inner installation infrared checkout gear of case 14-17, detect among the electric cabinet 14-17 by infrared opposite-radiation or principle of reflection whether article are arranged.
Figure 4 shows that express delivery merchant in the express delivery method of the present invention send the flow chart of part method, in the express delivery method, mailbox 1 can be posted and the outbox mailbox as addressee, with the portable terminal of user terminal 6 as the addressee, with the portable terminal of user terminal 7 as the outbox user, as shown in Figure 4, in conjunction with Fig. 1, Fig. 2, Fig. 3 and Fig. 4, the express delivery merchant who sketches the express delivery method of smart mailbox of the present invention system send the part method, comprising:
