The following describes a control method for a storage cabinet provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure.

Referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a schematic structural diagram of a storage cabinet according to an embodiment of the disclosure. As shown in fig. 2, the method for controlling a storage cabinet provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure may be applied to the storage cabinet shown in fig. 2, taking the storage cabinet 200 as an example, the storage cabinet 200 may include a cabinet body 210, and a plurality of cabinet boxes 220 may be disposed on the cabinet body 210, and the cabinet boxes are used for storing articles, and a user may put the articles into the cabinet boxes or take the articles out of the cabinet boxes. Here, each cabinet 220 includes a cabinet (not shown) and a door 230 rotatably coupled to one side of the cabinet and covering the cabinet. After the cabinet associated with the user is determined, the door of the cabinet can be correspondingly opened, so that the user can conveniently carry out the storage and taking processing of the articles.

In addition, a ceiling 240 can be further arranged on the storage cabinet, so that the user can be protected from the sun and rain, and the experience of the user in the process of using the storage cabinet is improved.

Referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a flowchart illustrating a method for controlling a storage cabinet according to an embodiment of the disclosure, and the method illustrated in fig. 3 may be applied to the storage cabinet in fig. 2. As shown in fig. 3, the method includes steps S301 to S304, in which:

s301: the method comprises the steps of obtaining identity information of a target user, and determining a plurality of target cabinets associated with the identity information.

Here, the target user is a user who needs to use the target cabinet box in the storage cabinet.

Illustratively, the target user may be a courier to be delivered who needs to place items into the target bin; the target user may also be a user of an item to be removed who needs to remove the item from the target bin; the target user can also be a user of the articles to be stored, and the target user needs to use the target cabinet to deposit the articles; the target user may also be a manager, an operation and maintenance person, a cleaning person, or the like of the storage cabinet, which needs to perform maintenance on the target cabinet, which is not limited herein.

Optionally, referring to fig. 2, as shown in fig. 2, the cabinet body 210 may be provided with a video acquisition device 250 such as a camera or an interactive device 270 such as a service display screen, and the identity information of the target user is determined to be acquired in the case of performing face recognition, fingerprint recognition or receiving input information such as a pickup code and a mobile phone number input by the target user. The manner in which personal information is obtained and used herein can be found in the related description of paragraph 13 of the detailed description of the present disclosure.

Here, a plurality of target cabinets that can be used by the target users having different identities, such as a user who takes out an item, a user who stores an item, and a manager of the cabinet, may be determined respectively.

Specifically, for the target user that is a user who wants to take out an article and the manager of the storage cabinet, the storage cabinet is pre-entered with the identity information of the target user, so after the identity information of the target user is obtained, the identity information may be matched with pre-stored storage identity information to determine whether the target user can use the storage cabinet. Accordingly, in the case where there is identity information that is consistent with the identity information in the plurality of pieces of identity information, it may be determined that the target user may use the storage (has authority), and if there is no identity information that is consistent with the identity information in the plurality of pieces of identity information, it may be determined that the target user may not use the storage (does not have authority).

For example, by taking face recognition as an example, after the current face of the target user is acquired, the current face may be matched with a plurality of pre-stored faces, and under the condition that the stored face matched with the current face exists in the plurality of stored faces, it may be determined that the target user may use the storage cabinet.

For example, taking fingerprint identification as an example, after the current fingerprint of the target user is acquired, the current fingerprint may be matched with a plurality of pre-stored fingerprints, and in a case that the stored fingerprint matching the current fingerprint exists in the plurality of stored fingerprints, it may be determined that the target user may use the storage cabinet.

After determining that the target user can use the storage cabinet, a plurality of target cabinets that can be used by the target user can be further determined.

Specifically, when the target user is determined to be a user who wants to take out an item according to the identity information, the item to be taken away by the target user is stored in the storage cabinet, and when the identity information of the target user is input in advance, a cabinet box stored in association with the identity information, namely, a corresponding relationship between the identity information and the cabinet box is input at the same time, so that after the storage cabinet can be used by the target user, a plurality of target cabinet boxes associated with the identity information of the target user can be determined based on the pre-stored corresponding relationship between the identity information and the cabinet boxes, namely, the target cabinet boxes storing the item to be taken away by the target user are determined.

Correspondingly, for the target user who is a user of an article to be stored, at this time, the article to be taken away by the target user is not stored in the storage cabinet, that is, a plurality of target cabinets which can be used by the target user are not determined, at this time, the identity information of the target user can be obtained in real time based on the video acquisition device or the interaction device which is arranged on the cabinet body, and the target cabinet which is required to be used and is set by the target user can be received in response to the input operation of the target user, so that the corresponding relationship between the identity information and the cabinets is determined, and the plurality of target cabinets which are associated with the identity information of the target user are determined based on the corresponding relationship.

For example, the current face of the target user may be obtained through a face recognition technology, and a cabinet number input by the target user through the interaction device may be received, and the target cabinet required to be used by the target user is determined based on the cabinet number.

S302: and determining displacement information of a preset time period before the target user reaches the storage cabinet.

And the displacement information comprises the movement information of the target user in the process from being far away from the storage cabinet to being close to the storage cabinet within the preset time period until the target user reaches the storage cabinet.

The displacement is a directed line segment from an initial position to a final position, the size of the directed line segment is independent of the path, and the direction is from the starting point to the end point.

Optionally, in order to conveniently and accurately determine whether the target user reaches the front of the storage cabinet, a preset position may be preset, and when the target user reaches the preset position in front of the storage cabinet, it may be determined that the target user reaches the front of the storage cabinet, where the preset position may be a position within a preset range centered on the storage cabinet. For example, a position within a distance of 1m from the storage cabinet may be determined as the preset position. Then, displacement information of the target user for a preset time period before reaching the preset position may be determined.

It is understood that the displacement information includes an initial position of the target user at an initial time of the preset time period, an end position (e.g., a preset position) of the target user at an end time of the preset time period, and a direction from the initial position to the end position.

Here, the ending position is a position before the target user reaches the storage cabinet, and a direction from the initial position to the ending position is an arrival direction of the target user relative to the storage cabinet.

The length of the preset time period can be set according to actual conditions. For example, it may be set that the target user arrives at the storage cabinet 2min before the target user arrives at the storage cabinet.

In a possible embodiment, please refer to fig. 2 again, the cabinet 210 is provided with a video capture device 250; the determining of the displacement information of the target user in the preset time period before the target user arrives at the storage cabinet includes:

In the above steps, the video data collected by the video collecting device, such as a camera, in the preset time period may be obtained, then the video data may be decoded by using a video decoding technology, and then a plurality of image frames may be extracted from the video data.

The plurality of image frames extracted from the video data may be the extraction of the image frames for the entire video data, or the extraction of the image frames for the video data at a certain time interval. Then, after a plurality of image frames are acquired, for each image frame, the target user in the image frame may be identified and positioned by a detection algorithm or the like, and the cabinet in the image frame may be identified and positioned, so as to determine the position of the target user relative to the cabinet.

Specifically, for each image frame, article detection and task detection may be performed on the image frame through a detection algorithm, for example, an ICCV algorithm, so as to detect the cabinet and the target object, and further determine a position of the cabinet in the image frame and a position of the target user in the image frame, so as to determine a position of the target user relative to the cabinet.

Then, for all the image frames, the positions of the target user relative to the cabinet body in the two image frames can be compared according to the time sequence of the image frames, so that the initial position of the target user and the direction from the initial position to the end position can be determined, that is, the displacement information of the target user in the preset time period is determined.

In a possible embodiment, please refer to fig. 2 again, as shown in fig. 2, the cabinet 210 is provided with an infrared recognition device 260; the determining of the displacement information of the target user in the preset time period before the target user arrives at the storage cabinet includes:

In the above step, a plurality of infrared images acquired by the infrared recognition device such as an infrared detector in the preset time period may be acquired, where the target user radiates heat outwards and can be captured by the infrared recognition device, so that each infrared image includes an infrared thermal image corresponding to the target user, and a position of the target user in each infrared image may be determined. Then, for each infrared image, because the cabinet body does not emit sufficient heat like a human body, the target cabinet body in the infrared image can be identified and positioned in a detection algorithm and other manners, and the position of the cabinet body in each infrared image is determined, so that the position of the target user relative to the cabinet body can be determined. Then, for all the infrared images, the positions of the target user relative to the cabinet body in the two infrared images can be compared according to the acquisition sequence of the infrared images, so that the initial position of the target user and the direction from the initial position to the end position can be determined, that is, the displacement information of the target user in the preset time period is determined.

It should be noted that, in fig. 2, in order to better acquire video data and an infrared image, the video acquisition device and the infrared identification device are arranged at an upper left position and an upper right position of the cabinet body, which is not limited to this, one, two, or even multiple video acquisition devices and infrared identification devices on the cabinet body may be provided, and displacement information of the target user in the preset time period may be completely recorded.

S303: predicting a direction of departure of the target user relative to the storage bin based on the displacement information.

Here, in the case where the displacement information is determined, the direction of the target user with respect to the storage cabinet can be determined, and thus the direction of the target user leaving the storage cabinet can be predicted based on the direction of the target user with respect to the storage cabinet.

In the foregoing step, first, location information of the storage cabinet may be obtained, specifically, a Positioning chip, such as a Global Positioning System (GPS) chip, may be set on the storage cabinet in advance, and the location information of the storage cabinet is determined based on data collected by the Positioning chip, and optionally, the location information may include longitude and latitude of the storage cabinet. Then, the target location where the storage cabinet is located can be determined through the location information, and optionally, the target location can be determined by combining a preset map, where the preset map may include the storage cabinet and a preset area around the storage cabinet, and specifically, the preset map and the location information may be combined to locate a location corresponding to the location information in the preset map, for example, a building, so that the located location can be determined as the target location where the storage cabinet is located. Next, environment information of the target location may be determined, where the environment information may include internal environment information of the target location, external environment information, self-attribute information, and the like, where the internal environment information may include an internal structure, a layout, and the like of the target location, the external environment information may include information of other locations around the target location, and the like, and the self-attribute information may include a type, a use, and the like of the target location. In this way, by integrating the environmental information of the target location and the displacement information, the behavior information of the target user after using the target cabinet can be predicted, and the leaving direction of the target user relative to the storage cabinet can be determined.

In this embodiment, the environmental information of the target location may include a type of the target location, and when the leaving direction is predicted, current time information may be acquired, and the leaving direction of the target user with respect to the storage cabinet may be predicted based on the current time information, the type of the target location, and the displacement information.

For example, if the obtained location information of the storage cabinet is an external first floor of an office building and the current time information is thirty-eight am of monday, it may be determined that a target location where the storage cabinet is located is the office building, the type of the target location is a work location, and the displacement information indicates that the target user arrives at the storage cabinet from a direction away from a door of the office building, and at this time, it may be predicted that the target user will enter the office building to work after using the target cabinet box, so that it may be predicted that the departure direction is a direction from the storage cabinet to the door of the office building.

In another embodiment, the environmental information of the target location may include entrance layout information of the target location, and the exit direction of the target user with respect to the storage cabinet may be predicted based on the entrance layout information of the target location and the displacement information in order to predict the exit direction.

For example, if the obtained location information of the storage cabinet is inside a certain room, it may be determined that the target location where the storage cabinet is located is a room, the entrance and exit layout information of the target location indicates that the room has only one door, that is, the room has only one entrance and exit, and the displacement information indicates that the target user enters the storage cabinet from the door, at this time, it may be predicted that the target user will leave the room through the door after using the target cabinet box, and therefore, the leaving direction may be predicted to be a direction pointing from the storage cabinet to the door.

For example, if the location information of the storage cabinet is obtained as the inside of a certain room, it may be determined that the target location where the storage cabinet is located is a room, the entrance layout information of the target location indicates that the room has two doors a and b, that is, the room has two entrances and exits, a distance between the door a and the storage cabinet in the two doors is greater than a distance between the door b and the storage cabinet, and the displacement information indicates that the target user enters from the door a and arrives before the storage cabinet, at this time, it may be predicted that the target user will leave the room through the door closer to the storage cabinet after using the target cabinet box, and therefore, the leaving direction may be predicted as a direction from the storage cabinet to the door b.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the moving direction is predicted based on the displacement information in combination with the environmental information of the target location where the storage cabinet is placed, and in other embodiments, the moving direction may be predicted according to the historical behavior habit of the target user, so as to improve the matching degree between the predicted moving direction and the target user.

Accordingly, in one possible embodiment, the predicting the direction of departure of the target user relative to the storage cabinet based on the displacement information includes:

In the foregoing steps, first, history information of the target user using the storage cabinet may be obtained, and optionally, the history information may include a history usage record and history behavior data, where the history usage record may indicate a usage situation of the target user for a cabinet, specifically, which cabinet the target user uses, and the history behavior data may record history displacement information and a history leaving direction of the target user. In the present embodiment, the historical behavior data is mainly used, and when the leaving direction is predicted, the leaving direction of the target user with respect to the storage cabinet may be predicted based on the current displacement information and the historical leaving direction indicated by each of the historical behavior data. The manner in which the history information is obtained and used herein can be seen in the description of paragraph 13 of the detailed description of the disclosure.

In practical applications, there are usually multiple sets of historical behavior data, and for the multiple sets of historical behavior data, there may be a case where there is the same historical displacement information in the multiple sets of historical behavior data and there are corresponding different historical departure directions, and at this time, the departure directions may be predicted in combination with the number of occurrences of each historical departure direction.

Therefore, when the moving direction of the target user relative to the storage cabinet is predicted based on the historical behavior data and the displacement information, the historical movement information matching the displacement information may be determined from the historical behavior data, and then the historical moving direction corresponding to the historical movement information the most frequently is predicted as the moving direction of the target user relative to the storage cabinet.

In the above step, the displacement information may be firstly compared with the historical displacement information indicated by each historical behavior data, so as to determine historical displacement information matching with the displacement information, then a historical leaving direction corresponding to each historical displacement information may be determined, and then the number of times of occurrence of each historical leaving direction may be determined, where the historical leaving direction with the largest number of occurrences may be regarded as a leaving direction to which the target user is accustomed after using the storage cabinet, and therefore the historical leaving direction with the largest number of occurrences may be predicted as a leaving direction of the target user relative to the storage cabinet.

For example, if it is screened that the historical displacement information in 10 sets of historical behavior data matches the displacement information of this time, in the 10 sets of historical behavior data, 6 sets of historical behavior data include a historical leaving direction c,3 sets of historical behavior data include a historical leaving direction d, and 1 set of historical behavior data include a historical leaving direction e, it may be determined that the number of the historical leaving directions c is the largest, and therefore, the historical leaving direction c may be predicted as the leaving direction of the target user relative to the storage cabinet.

In practical applications, in most cases, the target user returns as it is after using the storage cabinet, so in order to increase the processing speed, in other embodiments, a direction opposite to the direction indicated by the displacement information may be predicted as the direction in which the target user leaves the storage cabinet.

S304: and determining the target door opening sequence of the target cabinets based on the leaving direction, and controlling the cabinets doors of the target cabinets to be opened in sequence according to the target door opening sequence.

In this step, when the leaving direction of the target user relative to the storage cabinet is predicted, a target door opening sequence of the plurality of target cabinets can be generated for the target user in a targeted manner.

Here, if the door is opened, the target user may move from the current position to the front of the opened cabinet, and in order to reduce the moving distance of the target user, the current position of the target user relative to the cabinet may be determined first.

In a possible embodiment, referring to fig. 2, as shown in fig. 2, the cabinet 210 is provided with an interaction device 270; the determining a current position of the target user relative to the cabinet comprises:

It can be understood that, if the cabinet body is provided with the interaction device such as a service display screen, the identity information of the target user may be acquired through the interaction device, and the information of the target cabinet box may also be displayed for the target user through the interaction device, so that the target user may stand in front of the interaction device first when arriving at the storage cabinet, and thus the position of the interaction device on the cabinet body may be determined as the current position of the target user relative to the cabinet body.

In other embodiments, if no interaction device is disposed on the cabinet body, after the identity information of the target user is obtained, it may be determined which cabinet row the user currently stands in front of, and the position of any cabinet in the cabinet row on the cabinet body is determined as the current position of the target user relative to the cabinet body. Then, after determining the current position of the target user relative to the cabinet, the relative positional relationship of the plurality of target cabinets to the current position, respectively, may be determined.

Here, all the cabinets on the storage cabinet may be previously subjected to positioning processing to determine cabinet position information of each cabinet, and therefore, after the current position is determined, the relative positional relationship between each of the target cabinets and the current position may be determined based on the cabinet position information.

Optionally, a coordinate system may be established with a certain position on the cabinet body as an origin, so that a coordinate corresponding to each cabinet may be determined, and the cabinet position information of each cabinet may be represented by the coordinate.

For example, referring to fig. 1, as shown in fig. 1, the left lower position of the cabinet is used as an origin, the horizontal direction and the vertical direction are established in the horizontal rightward direction, and the vertical axis is established in the vertical upward direction, so that the cabinet position information of the cabinets 1 to 18 and the interaction device position information of the interaction device 19 can be obtained.

Then, a target door opening sequence of the target cabinets can be determined based on the leaving direction and the relative position relationship between the target cabinets and the current position.

In order to reduce the time consumption of the user in the process of accessing the storage cabinet, in one possible implementation, the target door opening sequence of the plurality of target cabinets may be determined according to the shortest moving distance required by the target user to leave the storage cabinet based on the leaving direction and the relative position relationship between the plurality of target cabinets and the current position respectively.

Specifically, when the leaving direction and the relative position relationship between the target cabinets and the current position are determined, the column in which all the target cabinets are located may be determined first, and then the target door opening sequence may be determined according to the sequence from the column far from the leaving direction to the column near the leaving direction.

For example, referring to fig. 1 at the same time, as shown in fig. 1, in the case that the cabinet is provided with the interaction device, the position of the interaction device 19 on the cabinet is determined as the current position of the target user relative to the cabinet, and if the target cabinets are 3, 5 and 17 and the departing direction is horizontal to the left, the shortest moving distance required by the target user to leave the storage cabinet can be determined as moving from the target user located position B to the column where the cabinet 17 is located first, and then moving from the right to the left to the column where the cabinet 3 is located, at which time the target door opening sequence of the plurality of target cabinets can be determined. Here, it can be known that the moving mode corresponding to the shortest moving distance is B-E-B-ase:Sub>A, and there are two door opening sequences corresponding to the shortest distance, which are 17-5-3 and 5-17-3, respectively.

Here, if there are at least two door opening sequences corresponding to the shortest moving distance, the target door opening sequence corresponding to the target user may be determined according to the user to take out an item or the user to store an item indicated by the identity information of the target user.

For example, if the identity information indicates that the target user is a user who handles an item to be taken out, 17-5-3 may be determined as the target door opening sequence in order to reduce the time for the user to hold the item, and correspondingly, if the identity information indicates that the target user is a user who handles an item to be stored, 5-17-3 may be determined as the target door opening sequence in order to reduce the time for the user to hold the item.

Optionally, if the target cabinets exist in the same column, in order to reduce the number of times that the target user bends, the target door opening sequence of the target cabinets may be determined in an order from top to bottom.

For example, if the target cabinets are 1, 2 and 3, the target door opening sequence may be 1-2-3.

Under the condition that the target door opening sequence of the target cabinets is determined, the cabinets doors of the target cabinets can be controlled to be opened in sequence according to the target door opening sequence.

Accordingly, in a possible implementation manner, in order to ensure the safety of the target user in the process of using the target cabinet, the door of the first cabinet may be controlled to be opened according to the target door opening sequence, and after detecting that the currently opened cabinet door is closed, the door of the next cabinet in the target door opening sequence is controlled to be opened until the door of the last cabinet in the target door opening sequence is opened.

For example, in the case that the target door opening sequence is 17-5-3, the door of the cabinet 17 may be first controlled to be opened, the door of the cabinet 5 may be controlled to be opened after the door of the cabinet 17 is detected to be closed, and the door of the cabinet 3 may be controlled to be opened after the door of the cabinet 5 is detected to be closed.

In other embodiments, in order to improve flexibility of the target user in using the target cabinet, the doors of the target cabinets may be controlled to be opened sequentially at preset time intervals according to the target door opening sequence.

For example, in the case that the target door opening sequence is 17-5-3, if the preset time interval is 20s, the door of the cabinet 17 may be controlled to be opened first, the time for opening the door of the cabinet 17 is 8 00, then the door of the cabinet 5 is controlled to be opened at 8.

It will be understood by those of skill in the art that in the above method of the present embodiment, the order of writing the steps does not imply a strict order of execution and does not impose any limitations on the implementation, as the order of execution of the steps should be determined by their function and possibly inherent logic.
