Description

The present invention relates to a method for managing delivery instructions. It also relates to a system implementing such a method and an installation implementing such a method and / or such a system. The field of the invention is the field of the management of automated orders of deliveries of objects, and in particular parcels. State of the art For the past ten years, e-commerce has been growing rapidly and is attracting more and more buyers. In known manner, the buyer orders an object purchased on the Internet and the purchased object is delivered to the buyer. The increase in the number of items to be delivered has pushed the players in this field to develop new delivery systems implementing automated delivery instructions. The object is deposited in a deposit by a deliveryman. Then, the user / buyer comes to recover his object in the deposit. Such a delivery system implementing automated instructions is described in the French patent published under the number FR 2 975 273. These systems have the advantage of a higher delivery success rate compared to traditional delivery processes while decreasing the labor and costs associated with the delivery of an item. Indeed, with these systems it is not necessary to provide for the presence of a person, namely the buyer user or an intermediary, during the passage of the delivery to deliver. However, the automated delivery instructions do not address other issues, such as the increase in pollution and traffic caused by the increase in the number of items to be delivered. In addition, in order to cope with the increase in the number of items to be delivered with the current delivery methods, it is necessary to provide for a greater number of delivery instructions, which increases the cost of the delivery facilities. and their bulk. An object of the present invention is to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks. Another object of the invention is to provide a method and a management system of instructions to reduce pollution and circulation caused by the delivery of objects. Another object of the invention is to provide a method and a management system 10 of instructions to reduce the cost and bulk related to the delivery instructions. Yet another object of the invention is to provide a method and a delivery system objects more ergonomic and faster for both the user and the deliveryman. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The invention proposes to achieve at least one of the above-mentioned objects by a method of managing instructions for the delivery of objects, in particular parcels, to a recipient, said method comprising the steps following: - receiving, at a central site, delivery data of a first object, said data comprising an identification data of said recipient; according to said identification data, identifying at least one second object to be delivered to said recipient by consulting a database, called delivery; identification, by consultation of a database, called setpoints, of at least one setpoint available to accommodate said first and second objects, on a site, said delivery, remote from said central site; transporting, by at least one operator, said first and second objects from at least one starting site to said delivery site; and - 3 - - depositing said first and second objects in said at least one instruction. The invention therefore proposes to group the delivery of delivered objects to the same user or to the same destination. Thus, the invention makes it possible to use the same instruction, i.e. the same record, for the delivery of several objects from one or more sources and transported by one or more operators, at the same time or in an off-set manner. The invention therefore makes it possible to optimize the availability of the delivery instructions and even to reduce the number of instructions on the delivery site, which reduces the cost related to the manufacture and installation of the instructions and their size. Moreover, when several objects are deposited in the same setpoint, the removal of these objects from said setpoint by the user is faster and more ergonomic, because it avoids handling several setpoints during removal, or several times the same setpoint, as it is now. In the present invention, a deposit is a locker or a set of lockers, each locker being provided with a door controlling the access to said locker and can be locked in the closed position. The locker or set of lockers may further include: - means for reading a biometric identification data, and / or means for reading an identification data item from an identification means, and / or means for inputting an identification data, such as an alphanumeric keyboard; - A locking / unlocking means of the access door to a locker individually and independent of other lockers; optionally, means for controlling such a locking / unlocking means; and possibly a means of communication with a remote site for exchanging data with said remote site through a wired or wireless communication network. In all the examples described, in order to determine whether at least one setpoint can accommodate the first object and the at least one second object, the method according to the invention can take into account at least one item relating to: and second objects; at least one dimension: length, width, height; a weight of each of the first and second objects; the nature of each of the first and second objects; and / or a condition of conservation of the at least one of the objects, such as for example a temperature condition, etc. In addition, in all the cases described below, the first object and the at least one second object can be transported: at the same time or in an offset manner, by the same operator or by different operators, and / or since same starting site or from different starting sites.

According to a first configuration, said at least one identified second object may already be in the course of delivery, with a setpoint already reserved and associated with said at least one second object. Such a case may occur when said at least one second object is in transit or already deposited in a setpoint but not yet removed by the user.

In this case, the step of identifying at least one setpoint can comprise the following operations: an identification of at least one setpoint already reserved for receiving said at least one second object by consulting the setpoint database , and - if said at least one setpoint already reserved can accommodate the first object, a selection of said at least one instruction for the delivery of said first object. Thus, in this first configuration, the method according to the invention makes it possible to determine a setpoint already reserved for the delivery of at least one second object and to use it for the delivery of the first object. When selecting said at least one instruction for the delivery of said first object, the method according to the invention may further include storing at least one user identification data, and / or at least one an identification data of said first object in association with an identification data of said at least one selected setpoint.

According to a first configuration, said at least one identified second object may not be in the course of delivery, that is to say that no setpoint, or locker, is reserved or associated with said at least one second object for the delivery. Such a case may occur when said at least one second object is still waiting for availability at a sampling site for example or when its delivery is not yet scheduled. In this case, the step of identifying at least one setpoint comprises: an identification of at least one setpoint available to accommodate the first object and the at least one second object by consulting the setpoint database; and a reservation of said at least one setpoint identified by modifying a state data item stored in the setpoint database in association with at least one identification data item of said at least one setpoint. During the reservation, the method according to the invention may further comprise storing at least one identification data of the user, and / or at least one piece of identification data of each of the objects intended to be deposited in said at least one instruction, in association with an identification data of said at least one instruction. Advantageously, the method according to the invention can comprise, before the transport step, a step of retaining at least one of said first and second objects on a starting site until the availability of the other said first and second objects at said start site or at another start site. Thus, the method according to the invention makes it possible to reduce the time during which a setpoint is occupied, which increases the availability of the instructions. Moreover, when the first and the at least one second object are delivered by the same operator, and possibly from the same starting site, then the retention step then makes it possible to carry out a group transport of the first and at least a second object. As a result, multiple objects are delivered to the same user, or destination, in a single trip, which decreases the flow and pollution associated with delivery of these objects compared to current delivery processes. In addition, the objects being transported and deposited in a grouped manner, in the same instruction, the deposit of these objects in said setpoint by the operator is faster and more ergonomic, because it avoids handling several instructions during filing, such as this is the case now. As previously described, the group transport and the group delivery of the first and at least one second object may require retaining at least one of these objects until the availability of all of these objects on the site. departure. In this case, the method according to the invention may comprise a signaling step, through a wired or wireless communication network, for example the mobile telephone network, the availability at the start site of the set. objects to be transported to at least one operator who will be responsible for transporting said objects during the transport step. The step of retaining an object at the departure site can shift the delivery date of said object retained on the site. In this case, the method according to the invention may comprise a signaling step, through a wired or wireless communication network, for example the mobile telephone network, the shift towards the user, with possibly an expected delivery date.

Moreover, the method according to the invention can comprise, before the retention step, a confirmation request step to the user through a communication network, in particular when said retention modifies the delivery date of one of said objects. In this case, the method according to the invention may comprise a step of confirmation or not of the retention by said user through the communication network. A signaling or a confirmation request to the user can be made via a portable communication device of the user such as a smartphone, a tablet, a phablet, a PDA, etc. Alternatively, a signaling or a confirmation request to the user can be made by sending an electronic message to an email address, email type, the user.

According to a particularly advantageous characteristic, the step of identifying at least one setpoint can also be carried out as a function of at least one item relating to: the number of first and second objects; at least one dimension: length, width, height; a weight of each of the first and second objects; the nature of each of the first and second objects; a condition of conservation of the at least one of the objects, such as for example a temperature condition, etc. ; the number or the type of reserved instructions being a function of at least one of said data. Thus, for example, depending on the dimensions of each of the objects and the size of each of the instructions, the method according to the invention makes it possible to select the appropriate set or instructions for receiving the objects to be delivered, for example the set the smallest volume and can accommodate these objects.

Advantageously, the identification step can be carried out so as to select the minimum number of instructions necessary for the delivery of the objects, according to: the number of objects to be delivered, the dimensions of each of the objects to be delivered, dimensions of at least one, in particular of each, setpoint. For example, the method according to the invention may comprise a search, among the available instructions, of the (or more) largest set (s) and can (each) accommodate the largest number of objects.

To do this, the method according to the invention can comprise, during the step of identifying the at least one instruction, at least one iteration of the following steps: determination of the total dimensions for at least two, in particular for all, objects to be delivered, and - comparing said dimensions with the dimensions of at least one, in particular each, available setpoint. The iterations can be carried out so as to identify / select the minimum number of instructions that will be used for the delivery of all objects. In particular, the method according to the invention may comprise during the step of identifying instructions, at least one iteration of the following steps: - determination of the dimensions of the set of objects to be delivered; determining the smallest setpoint that can accommodate said set of objects by comparing the dimensions of the available setpoints with the dimensions of the set of objects; - 9 - - if there is such a setpoint, selecting said setpoint, stopping the iteration; - if there is no such instruction then: - identification of the largest available deposit by comparison of the dimensions of the instructions available to each other, - for the said higher deposit, and according to the dimensions of each item to be delivered identification of a combination of objects: o comprising the largest number of objects, o and whose dimensions are smaller than the dimensions of said larger setpoint, in particular taking into account length, width and height said combination of objects, and o selecting said setpoint. After the iteration, if there are still objects to deliver, then a new iteration is performed taking into account only the remaining objects.

The method according to the invention can also take into account the following cases: when the object is out of the ordinary: in this case, the delivery of the object is not accepted; - when the set of objects to be delivered can be accommodated by several instructions or lockers and that there is a condition on the disposition of the instructions, for example instructions side by side. If the condition can be met the delivery is scheduled otherwise the delivery is refused or a financial counterpart is offered.

According to a non-limiting version, the goods to be delivered can all be of the same size or similar size. In other words, it is possible to refuse the delivery of an object if its size is not standard or according to predetermined limits. The method according to the invention may further comprise, before the depositing step, a step of authenticating said operator at said at least one instruction, in particular to unlock the at least one setpoint.

This authentication can be performed with an access code previously communicated to the operator, and possibly to the at least one setpoint. The entry of the access code can be carried out using a keyboard arranged at the delivery site. Alternatively or additionally, the authentication can be carried out with an identification data of the operator read, by a suitable reader, from an identification means of the RFID, NFC, smart card or barcode card type. or a biometric identification data. The depositing step may comprise an entry at the delivery site, an identification data of each of the objects deposited in the at least one setpoint, in particular to validate the depositing step. The entry of an identification data of the object can be carried out using an input keyboard or using a reader of the optical type, magnetic, etc.

The depositing step may be followed by a step of signaling, to a central management site, the deposit of the objects in the at least one deposit. This signaling step can be performed by the operator and / or by said at least one instruction.

In the case where several objects are deposited in the same instruction, or bin, in an off-set manner, then one or more steps for securing the objects can be performed, these steps possibly comprising: - signaling of a pre-existence recognition in the a deposit, according to which a user or an operator declares on his honor that one or more parcels are already present in the case, and that he will not take one of these parcels which is not intended for him; - a confirmation with key, that is to say with two identifiers of which only one is correct, making it possible to deposit or withdraw the good object in the cases where there are several objects in the same locker and that the operator or the the user must deposit or recover only one; issue an alert message, to avoid fraud or at least identify a fraud and try to act accordingly. The method according to the invention may further comprise a step of removing the objects by the user, after an authentication step at the at least one setpoint, in particular to unlock said at least one setpoint. This authentication can be performed with an access code previously communicated to the user, and possibly at least one setpoint. The entry of the access code can be carried out using a keyboard arranged at the delivery site. Alternatively or additionally, the authentication can be carried out with an identification data of the user read, by a suitable reader, from an identification means of RFID, NFC, smart card, barcode card type, or a biometric identification data.

The withdrawal step may comprise an entry at the delivery site, an identification data of each of the objects removed from the at least one setpoint, in particular to validate the withdrawal step. The entry of an identification data of the object can be carried out using an input keyboard or using a reader of the optical type, magnetic, etc. The withdrawal step may be followed by a step of signaling, to a central management site, the removal of objects from the at least one setpoint. This signaling step can be performed by the user and / or by said at least one instruction. In addition, the method according to the invention may advantageously comprise a step of identifying the delivery site among a plurality of delivery sites, said delivery site being the delivery site closest to the recipient when said delivery site includes at least one available deposit; - Being a delivery site selected from several delivery sites closest to said recipient, previously determined. Such an identification can be performed by comparing the user's location data, previously filled in, with the location data of all the delivery sites, or only the delivery sites comprising at least one available setpoint. According to another aspect of the invention there is provided a management system of instructions for the delivery of objects, in particular parcels, to a recipient, said system comprising: a central server, remote from said setpoints, connected to each said setpoints through a communication network, - a database, called setpoints, storing, for each setpoint, a state data item of said setpoint in association with an identifier of said setpoint, and - a database , said delivery, storing for said recipient, an identifier of the objects to be delivered in association with an identifier of said recipient; which are configured to implement all the steps of the method according to the invention. According to yet another aspect of the invention, there is provided an object delivery installation comprising: - several instructions, or groups of instructions, for the delivery of objects, each of said instructions being able to be locked / unlocked independently of other instructions and a management system of instructions according to the invention. In particular, the installation may comprise several delivery sites, distant from each other and from the central server, and each comprising at least one setpoint, preferably a group of a plurality of setpoints of identical or different dimensions.

Each of the instructions, and / or each of the delivery sites, is connected (e) to the central server through a wired or non-wired communication network. Other advantages and characteristics will appear on examining the detailed description of non-limitative embodiments, and the appended drawings in which: FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic representation in the form of a diagram of an exemplary embodiment non-limiting of the process according to the invention; FIG. 2 is a schematic representation of a nonlimiting exemplary embodiment of a system according to the invention; FIG. 3 is a schematic representation of a nonlimiting exemplary embodiment of an installation according to the invention; and FIG. 4 is a schematic representation of a nonlimiting example of a setpoint that can be used in the context of the present invention. It is understood that the embodiments which will be described in the following are in no way limiting. It will be possible to imagine variants of the invention comprising only a selection of characteristics described below, isolated from the other characteristics described, if this selection of characteristics is sufficient to confer a technical advantage or to differentiate the invention from of the prior art. This selection comprises at least one feature preferably functional without structural details, or with only a part of the structural details if it is this part that is only sufficient to confer a technical advantage or to differentiate the invention from the state of the prior art. In particular, all the variants and embodiments described are combinable with one another if there is nothing to prevent this combination from the technical point of view. In the figures and in the following description, the elements 5 common to several figures retain the same reference. FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic representation in the form of a diagram of an exemplary embodiment of a method 100 for managing instructions according to the invention. The management method 100 shown in FIGURE 1 includes a receiving step 102 at a central delivery data site of an object, also referred to as the first object in the present application. The delivery data may include data relating to: - an identity of the user to whom the object is to be delivered, - possibly an address of the user to whom the object is to be delivered when said address is not known in advance, - an identifier of the object to be delivered, - at least one dimension of the object to be delivered, 20 - a nature of the object to be delivered, - at least one condition relating to the preservation or transport of the object to be delivered, such as a condition of temperature, humidity, pressure, safety, etc., - an expected delivery date, and 25 - at least one expected date of arrival of the object on a starting site where the object will be picked up by an operator for delivery. These delivery data can be received by a central site, in particular by a central server, which carries out the management of the instructions. This data may be received from the user or from a third party, for example the merchant information system, from which the user has previously ordered an object. The data can be received via a wired communication network, of the ADSL type, or through a wireless network, such as the mobile telephone network. In this step 102, a subscription request may be required to the user and a subscription step may be performed, the user providing the information necessary for its identification. During an optional step 104, the delivery data can be stored in a database, called delivery, in association with a user identification data. In a step 106, depending on the user identification data or the delivery address, at least one other object, also called second object in the present application, to be delivered is identified by consulting the delivery database. Such a second object is an object for which a prior delivery request has been received and for which the delivery data has been stored in the database. When all the second objects to be delivered to the same user have been identified, a step 108 determines whether the first object and the second objects are available for delivery at the same starting site or different starting sites. Such a determination can for example be performed by consulting the delivery database where is stored, in association with an identifier of each object, a state of the object indicating the availability or not of the object on the starting site. This state data is updated each time an object is received at the departure site, for example during a signaling step of reception of the object at the departure site. This update can be performed by a central server located at the central site.

If all the objects are not available for delivery, the objects already present are retained on the starting site, during a step 110. Then a step 112 determines, according to the expected arrival date of each missing object. on the departure site, if the delivery date of one of the objects already available on the starting site is impacted. If not, the process resumes in step 108, after a predetermined time, such as for example one hour. If so, a signaling of the date change is made to the user during a step 114, then the process resumes in step 108, after a predetermined time, such as for example one hour. If at step 108 all objects are available on delivery, the method determines in step 115 whether at least one second object is being delivered. Such a determination can be made by determining whether in the database of objects to be delivered a setpoint has already been reserved for this second object. If this is not the case, ie all the goods to be delivered are available on delivery and no goods are being delivered, then a step 116 identifies whether the delivery site the closest to the address of the user comprises at least one available setpoint. To do this, the method consults a database of instructions, storing for each set of each delivery site, in association with the identification data of the setpoint: - the dimensions or the internal volume of the setpoint, and - a status data relating to the availability or not of the deposit. If at step 116 the delivery site closest to the user's address does not include at least one available setpoint, then a step 118 identifies among a predetermined number of delivery sites closest to the address of the user, for example the eight nearest delivery sites, a site comprising at least one available deposit. Then, during a step 120, a signal is made to the user for the latter to confirm delivery to another delivery site than the nearest delivery site. If in step 120 the user does not accept, or if in step 118 no delivery site is available, the process resumes in step 116, after a predetermined duration, such as for example two hours . When at step 120 the user accepts delivery to a delivery site different from the nearest delivery site, or when at step 116 the nearest delivery site includes at least one available deposit, a step 122 realizes an identification of at least one instruction that can accommodate all the objects to be delivered. To do this, at least one iteration of the following steps is performed: - 17 - - determination of the dimensions of the set of objects to be delivered; determining the smallest setpoint that can accommodate said set of objects by comparing the dimensions of the available setpoints with the dimensions of the set of objects; if there is such a setpoint, selecting said setpoint, stopping the iteration; - if there is no such instruction then: - identification of the largest available deposit by comparison of the dimensions of the instructions available to each other, - for the said higher deposit, and according to the dimensions of each item to be delivered identifying a combination of objects: o comprising the largest number of objects, o and whose dimensions are smaller than the dimensions of said larger setpoint, and o selecting said setpoint. After the iteration, if there are still objects to deliver, then a new iteration is performed taking into account only the remaining objects. If the delivery site considered in step 122 does not include enough instructions available or satisfactory to accommodate all the objects, then the process resumes at step 116, ignoring the delivery site already tested at step 122. Alternatively, the delivery request may be refused. On the other hand, if, on the other hand, the delivery site considered in step 122 includes enough instructions that are available or satisfactory for accommodating all the objects, the satisfactory instructions are selected and reserved at step 124 by modifying their data. state in "reserved setpoints" in the setpoint database and the process proceeds to the step described below. If at step 115 at least a second object is being delivered, this means that at least one instruction is reserved for the delivery of this second object. In this case, a step 125 identifies the set or reserved instructions for the delivery of said at least second object being delivered and determines whether this or these reserved instructions can accommodate the remaining objects to be delivered. Otherwise, the process resumes at step 116 or the delivery is refused. If so, the identifier of this instruction, or of each of the instructions, is stored in association with the remaining object or objects to be delivered and the method proceeds to step 126. In step 126, a signaling message is issued to an operator with one or more access codes to the instruction, or instructions, reserved (s), and possibly the identification of the delivery site, and possibly the identifier (s) of the reserved instructions. The operator then transports either only the first object, or in a grouped manner the set of objects from one or more starting sites to the delivery site during a step 128. On the delivery site, during a step 130, the operator authenticates with the access code or codes that have been communicated to him to unlock the setpoint or instructions, reserved for the step 124 or selected during the step 125. The authentication is carried out either locally at the delivery site, or at a distance from the delivery site, for example at the central site.

During a step 132, the object or objects are deposited in the set or instructions, possibly after entering or reading an identification data of each object. The instruction or instructions are locked. Then a signal confirming the deposit is issued to the central site by the operator and / or by the instructions and / or by the delivery site.

After the confirmation of the deposit of the objects, a step 134 transmits, from the central site to the user, one or more access codes to the order, or instructions, containing the objects, and possibly with the identification of the delivery site , and possibly with the identifier (s) of the instructions. On the delivery site, during a step 136, the user authenticates with the access code or codes issued in step 134 to unlock the set or instructions containing the objects. Authentication is performed either locally at the delivery site or remote from the delivery site, for example at the central site. During a step 138, the objects are removed from the instruction or instructions, possibly after entering or reading an identification data of each object. The instruction or instructions are locked. Then a signal confirming the withdrawal is sent to the central site by the user and / or by the instructions and / or by the delivery site. In the example given by reference, the unlocking of the setpoint by the operator, respectively by the user, is performed by entering an access code. Alternatively, for at least one of the authentication steps 130 and 136, it is possible for the unlocking of the setpoint by the operator, or by the user or both, to be performed by input of a data item. identification, for example by reading an identification data from an identification means at the level of the instruction such as an RFID card, NFC card, a smart card, a magnetic card, a biometric identification data, etc. In this case, the steps relating to the generation, transmission and storage of an access code to the operator and / or to the user are not performed. These steps are replaced by a step of input, in particular of reading, of an identification data of the operator, and / or of the user, at the level of the deposit (or of the delivery site) during the authentication step, and a comparison of this identification data entered with an identification data of the operator, respectively of the user, previously stored at the central site or at the setpoint or at the level of the delivery site.

In addition, at least two groups of setpoints comprise a 15 identical number or a different number of instructions. The instructions of a group of instructions can be of identical or different dimensions. FIGURE 4 is a schematic representation of a non-limiting example of a setpoint that may be used in the context of the present invention. The set 400, shown in FIG. 4, is integrated in an existing structure 402 on the road. Such a structure 402 may be, for example, a bus shelter, an automated rental station for electric vehicles. Alternatively, such an instruction 400 can be backed by an existing terminal on the road, such as an automated rental terminal of electric vehicles, a terminal of purchase of travel documents, a billboard, etc. In this way, the setpoint 400 can benefit from existing electrical connections at the existing structure, whether it is a connection to an electrical source and / or a connection to a communication network. Setpoint 400 comprises a module 404, called master module, and three modules 4061-4063, called slave modules. Each slave module 406 is in the form of an assembly, for example one-piece, independent of the master module 404 and the other slave modules 406. The master module 404 is fixed on the ground inside the structure 402 The first slave module 4061 is fixed to the master module 404 by one of its side walls and the second slave module 4062 is fixed to the first slave module 4061 by one of its side walls as well. Fixing a module to the other is removable and is made by screws for example. The third slave module 4063 is offset with respect to the assembly formed by the master module 404 and the first two slave modules 4061 and 4062. The master module 404 comprises at least one rack, called master rack, and each slave module 406 comprises each several lockers, called slave lockers, provided to receive one or more objects to deliver. These bins are of identical or variable sizes.

Each slave locker has a door locked or unlocked by an electric lock equipping the slave locker. Each slave locker further comprises a technical duct, leaned against a side wall of the slave locker, and allowing the passage of said locker to an adjacent rack of a wired electrical connection comprising: - an electric cable supplying the adjacent rack, in particular the electric lock of the adjacent rack and / or a means of displaying a code in the adjacent rack; a communication cable with the master locker enabling said master locker to control the components of the slave locker, in particular the electric lock of the adjacent locker and / or a means of displaying a code in the adjacent locker. The door of each slave locker is mounted on two hinges 900 allowing maximum opening of said door. The master module, furthermore comprises slave lockers, a technical locker, said master locker, as indicated above, which is not intended to receive an object to deliver. This master register provides a gateway between the slave bins (of the master module 404 and each slave module 406) and a power supply source and / or a communication network for communicating with a remote server. In addition, the master locker comprises means for independently controlling the locking or unlocking of the electric lock of each slave locker. The master locker has a door locked or unlocked by an electric lock fitted to the master locker. The master box may comprise a support slidably mounted in the master box, using two rails, and provided to accommodate the technical management means of the setpoint (not shown), namely: locking / unlocking control means each slave slave of the setpoint 400, means of communication with a remote server through a communication network, means for supplying each bin of the setpoint 400, and data processing means. These technical management means may be in the form of a computer incorporating the means listed above. The sliding mounted support makes it possible to extract the technical management means in case of intervention on these means.

The door of the master locker is mounted on two hinges 900 allowing maximum opening of said door. In addition, the master register may include, integrated into / on its door, a contactless reader, RFID or NFC type, and an infrared reader, provided for reading an identification data from a person identification card. , such as an operator or a user, authorized to access a locker and / or a piece of data of an object that will be deposited in a (or removed from) a slave locker. The master cabinet can also include, integrated into / on its door, a touch screen forming a user interface and to perform different functions, namely: select, by its number, a slave locker; and / or manually entering an identification data of an object that does not have a contactless identification medium; and / or manually entering an identification data of a person who does not have a contactless identification medium; and / or - enter a verification code, for example a verification code generated on the fly; - etc. Each locker of an instruction implemented in the present invention, for example the setpoint 400, designed to receive one or more objects can be used for a single user and a single object to be delivered to this user. Alternatively, each bin can be used to receive multiple objects from the same source or different sources for a user. This alternative makes it possible to optimize the use of the deposit lockers. According to yet another alternative to further optimize the use of the setpoint, each locker of the setpoint can be used to receive multiple objects from the same source or different sources and intended for multiple users, in the context of a bin share between different users. Of course, the invention is not limited to the examples which have just been described.
