Description

Unmaned delivery receiving apparatus

The present invention relates to an unmanned parcel delivery device, and more particularly, to deliver a parcel delivery item without difficulty even when the parcel delivery item is absent, and in particular, the parcel delivery item recipient can safely receive the parcel delivery item without theft of the parcel delivery item. It is about an unmanned home delivery device.

As the society develops, not only the nuclear family is rapidly increasing, but also the population living in apartment houses such as apartments and office buildings is increasing rapidly.

In addition, the employment status of single women as well as married women is gradually increasing due to the improved status of women.

In line with such social phenomena, the sales volume of online products or goods such as electronic commerce, TV home shopping, and telecommunications sales through the Internet are increasing rapidly.

For this reason, parcel delivery items are also frequently found around.

However, due to the above-mentioned nuclear family and the increase in the employment population, the delivery items are frequently delivered in the absence of the delivery items.

In this case, for example, in an apartment or an office building, the parcel delivery items are delivered to the guard room when the recipient of the parcel is absent, and the home is notified by telephone in the evening to find the parcel.

However, in this case, the delivery courier has to be inconvenient to move to the guard room and ask for the storage of the courier. There is a ham.

If a worker is away from the security office, he may not be able to deliver the parcel at all.

In the case of an apartment or office building, it may be left in the guard room as described above, but in the case of a private house or a villa, there is no separate guard room or management office. Still exists.

Therefore, a separate unmanned courier box or unmanned courier device has been developed that enables a courier item to be delivered without loss even in the absence of a courier item. However, the function of the structure is insufficient or incomplete.

In particular, given that the password for opening the door of the unmanned courier system can only be shared with the courier, the security of theft and the like cannot be guaranteed. Technology development is required.
