Specifically, when the distance information is greater than or equal to the distance threshold, that is, the user is far away from the body of the automatic container 300, the automatic container 300 determines that the currently detected "user" does not have an intention of purchasing a commodity, and at the distance, the user cannot normally scan a code with a high probability, and the door 306 remains closed.
The preset distance threshold may be dynamically adjusted according to the actual installation scenario of the automatic container 300 and the safety requirements of different regions, for example, the preset distance threshold is adjusted within a range from 3 meters to 5 meters, or adjusted within a range from 2 meters to 7 meters, or adjusted within a range from 2.5 meters to 6.5 meters, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.
When the user is far away, the current use environment is considered unsafe, the door body 306 is kept closed, and property safety of merchants and the user is further protected. It can be understood that when the distance detection device 310 has no reading, that is, the user cannot be detected within the effective detection range of the distance detection device 310, the automatic container 300 determines that there is no user nearby, and at this time, it is determined that the unlocking condition is not satisfied, and the door 306 remains closed.
When an unlocking instruction is received, the second position information of the user and the distance information between the first position information of the automatic container 300 and the second position information of the user can be judged according to the first image acquired by the first image acquisition device 312, namely the distance information of the user from the automatic container 300 is obtained through an image recognition technology, the position acquisition devices such as the distance detection device 310 can be prevented from being misread, and the accuracy of distance detection is improved.
Specifically, the second image information may be a facial image of the user, and the facial image is recognized by a face recognition technology, so as to obtain corresponding identity information and account information matched with the identity information. And meanwhile, account information corresponding to the unlocking instruction is obtained, and when the account information obtained through identity recognition is matched with the received account information, the identity information of the user is determined to be matched with the unlocking instruction.
Meanwhile, the second image information may also be the whole image information of the user, and the identity is identified through the posture and other manners, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.
The corresponding account information may be carried in the unlocking instruction, or the account information corresponding to the purchase request may be obtained from the server or the user terminal while the unlocking instruction is received/generated.
After judging that the user exists near the unmanned container, whether the identity of the user is consistent with the unlocking request is further determined, and the door body 306 is opened only when the identity of the user is consistent with the unlocking request, so that the use safety of the user when purchasing commodities is further ensured, the property safety of both a merchant and the user is not damaged, and the safety and the use experience of the unmanned vending equipment are improved.
