The electric paper screen only consumes electric energy when the information of the display screen is changed. If its information is not changed, the information displayed on the screen may be retained even if power is off. Only when order information is written in or is removed, the mobile terminal is used for supplying power and communicating to change the information on the electronic paper screen, so that the link of printing and pasting the logistics order information can be omitted. The electric paper screen can not increase energy loss, and materials such as paper, a printer and the like are also saved. The electronic paper screen can also improve the logistics efficiency, reduce the cost and be recycled, thereby realizing green environmental protection.

In another embodiment, as shown in fig. 5, the physical distribution box management method includes the steps of:

and step S1, receiving the radio frequency signal sent by the user terminal by using the induction coil to induce electricity generation.

The user terminal can be a mobile phone with an NFC function or a mobile intelligent device. The logistics box and the matched user terminal are communicated through NFC. The communication process adopts safe encryption transmission, and a safe channel is established through an encryption system, so that the information of the logistics box is prevented from being maliciously read or maliciously tampered. The logistics box adopts an induction coil to receive radio frequency signals sent by the user terminal to induce electricity generation.

And step S2, using the data processing chip to utilize the electronic information carried by the electric identification radio frequency signal generated by the induction coil.

The logistics box adopts a data processing chip to utilize electronic information carried by an electrical identification radio frequency signal generated by an induction coil. The data processing chip can also have the function of a safety chip and can store the related information of goods.

And step S3, sending the electronic information to a cloud server through a communication chip according to the electricity generated by the induction coil, and receiving feedback information of the cloud server.

The logistics box sends the electronic information to the cloud server through the communication chip according to the electricity generated by the induction coil. The cloud server also stores logistics box related information and logistics order information. And the information stored by the logistics box safety chip is used for verifying unlocking. The logistics order information stored by the cloud server is used for tracking and recording the transportation condition of the logistics box. In the transfer process, logistics turnover information is synchronized to the cloud server through NFC, and therefore logistics tracking is achieved. In the goods transfer process, the logistics boxes can communicate with the NFC reading system matched with the transfer station through NFC. The logistics system can perceive logistics goods information, does not need manual intervention midway, automatically counts the quantity of goods, and the accident of transfer goods is left over and also can be timely reported to the police, seeks. The method comprises the steps that a mobile terminal logistics box communication device (such as an NFC mobile phone) logs in an account number of a receiver, an unlocking instruction is sent to a cloud server, the cloud server confirms the identity of the unlocking person, and a negotiation key of logistics box communication is sent to a user terminal. When a user terminal held by an unlocking person communicates with the logistics box, the NFC logistics box identifies a negotiation key of communication sent by the user terminal. The communication chip sends the electronic information such as logistics information, cargo information and a negotiation key to the user terminal, the user terminal then verifies the electronic information by the cloud server through the electronic information such as the logistics information, the cargo information and the negotiation key. When the cloud server verifies that the electronic information passes, the cloud server sends unlocking feedback information to the communication chip through the user terminal; when the cloud server verifies that the electronic information does not pass, the cloud server sends feedback information of 'refusing to unlock' to the communication chip through the user terminal. The logistics box unlocking is verified by using an algorithm, and the communication safety can be ensured by adopting safety services such as a symmetric algorithm, an asymmetric algorithm and the like.

In one embodiment, when the logistics box is unlocked, the positioning chip is used for detecting whether the logistics box is in the effective range of the delivery address. The receiving address and the opening position of the logistics box need to be successfully authenticated and matched by the cloud server, and then the logistics box can be opened.

And step S4, generating driving information for controlling the locking motor to operate according to the feedback information by adopting the data processing chip.

The logistics box judges the feedback information by adopting a data processing chip and generates driving information for driving the locking motor to operate according to the unlocking feedback information; and generating driving information for preventing the locking motor from running according to the feedback information of 'refusing to unlock'. The locking motor 42 drives the locking piece 43 to connect the lock tongue driving unit 32 and the transmission unit 33 according to the driving information corresponding to the feedback information of 'unlocking', the user applies external force to move the unlocking moving key 332, and the lock tongue linkage rod 331 drives the lock tongue driving unit 32 to move, so that the lock tongue is separated from the lock groove; the locking motor 42 stops the operation of the locking motor according to the driving information corresponding to the feedback information of 'refusing to unlock', so in this case, the bolt driving unit 32 and the transmission unit 33 are in a separated state, the user applies external force to move the unlocking moving key 332, the bolt linkage rod 331 cannot drive the bolt driving unit 32 to move, and thus unlocking cannot be realized.

The above description is only exemplary of the present invention and should not be taken as limiting the scope of the present invention, as any modifications, equivalents, improvements and the like made within the spirit and principles of the present invention are intended to be included within the scope of the present invention. The foregoing is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and it should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, a plurality of modifications and variations can be made without departing from the technical principle of the present invention, and these modifications and variations should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
