Description

Closed type Smart Mailboxes system based on IoT [

The present invention relates to a closed smart mail box system based on IoT. More specifically, when a terminal having a corresponding unique number installed in an application is approaching within a certain distance, it is confirmed through a short-range wireless communication and changed from a closed state to a standby state, The present invention relates to an IoT-based closed smart mailbox system in which a user pushes an opening / closing part and simultaneously switches an interior switch according to the movement of the opening / closing part, the opening / closing part of the entrance is opened.

In the digital era, many notices and bills have been replaced by e-mails and e-mailed, but most of the mail is still being sent by paper mail.

Generally, multi-generational mailboxes such as apartments and villas are equipped with multi-generational mailboxes for common use.

Most mailboxes are made in an open format so that anyone can insert or remove letters or other mailings.

However, many problems arise because it is an open-ended mailbox that anyone can remove or insert.

The postal mail delivered by the postal delivery agent contains not only the postal delivery address but also the name, so that the personal information is abused.

At this time, the public mailboxes as described above have no way of protecting the inside even if the inside is secretly stolen.

Therefore, the social problems caused by the use of open mailboxes include leakage of personal information due to the theft of postal items such as health insurance card, empty house hair which confirms the accumulation of mail items seen outside, loss of election rights due to loss of ballots, .

However, even if the mail disappears from the mailbox, no compensation can be received.

Therefore, it is necessary to use a closed mailbox which is free from theft of mail.

However, by using the closed mailbox, the mailman can not store the mail in the closed mailbox.

Therefore, we use closed mailboxes using Internet (IoT) technology, such as a closed mailbox that can lock and unlock data by inputting data through the following input unit.

As a conventional technique using a closed mailbox using the Internet (IoT) technology, the unmanned delivery courier system and its control method disclosed in Korean Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 10-2015-0020926 have unique identification information, A storage box opened when a password is input via the Internet; A smart terminal for transmitting a password request signal including the identification information and a telephone number through a network to receive the password and inputting the received password to the depository using a local wireless communication scheme; And a telephone number of the smart terminal, identification information and password of the library, and when the password request signal is received from the smart terminal, the telephone number included in the password request signal is stored in the telephone number of the smart terminal And if the telephone numbers match, searches the password according to the identification information included in the password request signal, and transmits the password to the smart terminal, wherein the unattended courier storage system includes an unattended courier storage system .

However, in the conventional unmanned courier system and its control method, when a password is entered into a closed mailbox through a smartphone of a household member or a mail delivery carrier, the corresponding mailbox is opened, and the mail carrier approaches the closed mailbox It takes a long time to go to work by repeatedly entering passwords and putting in mail on a smart phone.

On the contrary, it can be opened when the mailman approaches, but when the mailman approaches, many closed mailboxes are opened at the same time, so that not only the noise but also power consumption is increased. .

The electronic mail box management control device and method of the prior art publication No. 10-2013-0041626 using a closed mailbox capable of inputting and locking and unlocking data through the input section include a space for storing contents A plurality of storage boxes having; An input unit provided at one side of the storage unit for inputting data related to opening and closing of the storage unit; A door mounted on one side of the storage box and opened and closed, and having a loading port on one side thereof; An input port cover coupled to the input port and opened and closed; A first opening / closing unit for opening / closing the inlet cover according to an input / output opening / closing control signal; A second opening / closing unit for opening / closing the door in accordance with an input door opening / closing control signal; A controller for comparing the data input to the input unit and the data stored in the storage unit and generating a corresponding storage open / close control signal when they are in agreement with each other, and a storage unit connected to and communicating with the control unit, And a user terminal for displaying a state in which contents are stored in the storage box as an input of an opening / closing control signal.

The above-mentioned prior art electronic mail box management control device and method need to input data related to opening and closing at the input part of the storage box itself, so that the mail delivery person approaches the closed mailbox and inputs data related to opening and closing, The time required for the task will be longer.

Therefore, the above conventional closed mailboxes have a disadvantage that the working hours of the mail carrier are long until repeating the task of inputting and opening the mailboxes individually.

Accordingly, in the closed smart mailbox system based on the IoT according to the present invention, when a terminal having a corresponding unique number installed in an application is approaching within a certain distance, it is changed from a closed state to a standby state by confirming via short- When the switch of the mailbox is pushed, the switch inside the mailbox entrance is changed from the standby state to the open state by opening the opening and closing part of the entrance so that the consumption expenditure Time can be saved and the mail can be safely stored without returning to the mailman. When the mail is put in the mailbox, the signal can be transmitted to the integrated server, so that the data of the integrated server can be confirmed by the terminal of the household member. Preventing Writing, intended to provide the IoT-based Smart Mailboxes closed system to reduce noise and power consumption.

The first door 112 is opened or closed by a household member or a mail carrier for extracting or sending mail from the internal space.

In particular, the first opening and closing door 112 is formed with a handle on its outer surface.

Therefore, the user can pull the first door 112 by pulling it through the handle.

The second door 113 is opened and closed so that the postal delivery source can quickly insert small items such as letters into the internal space.

Particularly, the reason why the second door 113 is used is that the first door 112 is opened only in the outward direction, so that the time required for the mailman to open the first door 112 is delayed.

The second opening and closing door 113 is formed on the upper side of the first opening and closing door 112 so as not to be caught by the inner mail when it is pushed inward.

Therefore, the second door 113 can be easily pushed in, so that small mail items can be quickly inserted into the internal space without delay, thereby shortening the working hours of the mail delivery source.

As shown in FIG. 5, the first door 112 and the second door 113 are pivoted. The first door 112 and the second door 113 have a length And a circular rod is inserted into the through hole at the upper end of each opening and closing door to be inserted into the grooves at both ends of the opening, As shown in Fig.

In another embodiment, the first and second doors 112 and 122 of the body may be hinge-coupled structures that are commonly used.

The hinge connection structure of the conventional hinge connection structure disclosed in the Registration Practical Utility Model Registration No. 20-0315303 is a door in which one side edge portion serving as a shaft of a door opening and closing door is roundly rounded, A door frame in which a safety barrier is protrudingly formed on an outer vertical surface of a door frame adjacent to a corner portion of a door of the door, and a door frame fixedly attached to upper and lower surfaces of a rounded corner portion of the door, And a door fastening member fixedly attached to an inner upper end surface and an inner lower end surface of the door frame and having a hinge shaft inserted therein so that the door can be pivoted to one side, It is characterized by that there is no gap between the door and the door frame at the same time as the door is turned to one side. It has been described as the coupling structure of the hinged door and the door frame for that.

As another prior art, there is provided a hinge coupling structure for a front door of a registered utility model registration No. 20-0138241, wherein coupling holes are formed in upper and lower turning holes which are screwed into a door, respectively, and upper and lower supports welded to the door frame And a protruding bar protruding from the lower end of the upper stopper protrudes from the upper stopper so that the lower stopper is coupled to the lower stopper. Is described as a hinge coupling structure on the upper part of the front door.

The conventional hinge coupling structure is used as described in the above-described prior arts.

A hook 115 is formed on the inner surface of each of the opening and closing doors 112 and 113 of the box body 110 so that a rod provided on the locking device 160 is inserted into the edge near the locking device 160, do.

The locking device 160 includes a first locking device 161 for opening and closing the first opening and closing door 112 and a second locking device 162 for opening and closing the second opening and closing door 113.

Each of the locking devices 161 and 162 may be a solenoid or a motor for opening and closing the opening and closing door 111. [

When the solenoid is used, each locking device 161, 162 is made up of a solenoid, which normally generates a magnetic field, and a rod made of soft iron to be moved by the magnetic field generated inside the solenoid.

And the rod moved by the solenoid is inserted into the ring 115 of the box body 110 or is pulled out.

More specifically, when the solenoid is energized under the control of the control unit 150, a current flows through the coil to form a magnetic field, so that the rod is connected to the ring formed in the box body 110 (Not shown).

In particular, when electricity is transmitted to the locking device 160 through the control of the controller 150, the bar is released from the loop 115 formed in the opening and closing door 111 and opened to allow the opening and closing door to move, The bar is inserted into the loop 115 formed in the opening and closing door 111 and locked so that the opening and closing door does not move.

Therefore, the bar does not block or block the opening / closing door 111 of the entrance while performing a linear motion under the control of the controller 150.

When the motor is used, each locking device 161, 162 comprises a motor rotated by electricity and a rod moved by the motor.

The motor is formed with teeth, and grooves are formed at the same intervals in the longitudinal direction on the rod, and the motors come into contact with the teeth.

At this time, when the teeth are rotated, the rod is moved in a gearing manner.

And the rod moved by the motor is inserted into the loop 115 of the box body 110 or is pulled out.

More specifically, the motor is rotated under the control of the control unit 150, and as the motor is rotated in one direction, the rod is linearly moved so as to be inserted into the loop 115 formed in the box body 110 .

For example, when the motor is rotated clockwise through the control of the controller 150, the rod moved by the motor is released from the loop 115 formed in the opening and closing door 111 and opened to allow the opening and closing door to move, The rod that is moved by the motor is inserted into the loop 115 formed in the opening and closing door 111 and locked so that the opening and closing door does not move.

Therefore, the bar does not block or block the opening / closing door 111 of the entrance while performing a linear motion under the control of the controller 150.

The switch 120 includes a first switch 121 installed at a position where the first door 112 is pressed and a second switch 122 installed at a position where the second door 113 is pressed will be.

5, the first switch 121 is coupled to the end of a rod moving through the first locking device 161, and the first switch 121 is coupled to the end of the rod moving through the first locking device 161 , The rod of the first locking device 161 is protruded and inserted into the ring formed in the first door 112 when the locking device is in the locked state.

When the first locking device 161 is opened and the bar is moved in the direction of the first locking device 161 so as not to catch the first opening and closing door 112, the first switch 121 moves along the bar , The rod moving by the first locking device (161) and the first switch (121) are disengaged from the loop (115).

Therefore, the rod moving by the first locking device 161 and the first switch 121 are not obstructed when the first door 112 is opened.

Meanwhile, the second switch 122 is coupled to the end of the rod moving through the second locking device 162, and when the locking device is in the locked state, the rod of the second locking device 161 is protruded, And is hooked to the hook formed in the hook.

When the second locking device 162 is opened and the rod is moved in the direction of the second locking device 162 so as not to catch the second opening and closing door 113, the second switch 122 moves along the rod The rod moved by the second locking device 162 and the second switch 122 are disengaged from the loop 115.

Therefore, the rod moved by the second locking device 162 and the second switch 122 are not disturbed when the second door 113 is opened.

Meanwhile, the sensor 120 may be replaced with a sensor.

The sensing sensor includes a first sensing sensor for sensing whether the first door 112 is opened or closed and a second sensor for sensing whether the second door 113 is opened or closed.

Here, the first sensor or the second sensor may be one of various sensors such as an infrared sensor, an optical sensor, and an ultrasonic sensor.

The first sensing sensor is installed to detect whether the first opening and closing door 112 is open or closed at an inner entrance side edge of the mailbox body 110. When it detects that the first opening and closing door 112 is opened, I will send it.

The second sensor detects the movement of the second opening / closing door 113 on the inner surface of the first opening / closing door 114, and sends a signal to the controller 150 when the second opening / closing door 113 senses the movement of the second opening / closing door 113.

Meanwhile, signals transmitted through the switches 121 and 122 are transmitted to the controller 150.

The controller 150 receives signals from the switches 121 and 122 to change the states of the first door 112 and the second door 113. The first door 112 and the second door 112 are connected to each other, Each state of the second door 113 is divided into a closed state, a standby state, and an open state.

The states of the first and second doors 112 and 113 are changed as follows under the control of the controller 150.

First, the controller 150 sets all open / close doors to a closed state when the terminal is not in proximity.

When the terminal approaches within a certain distance from the closed smart mailbox 100 based on IoT, the controller 150 checks the authority of the corresponding terminal in the integration server and changes the state of the opening / closing door according to the authority to the standby state.

If the switch is pushed only when the state of the opening / closing door is in the standby state, the state of the opening / closing door is changed to the opened state and the locking device of the opening / closing door is opened. In the closed state, .

More specifically, when the state of the first door 112 is in the standby state, the controller 150 changes the state of the first door 112 to the open state according to a signal that the first switch 121 is pressed And transmits a signal to the first locking device to open the first locking device.

When the state of the second door 113 is in the standby state, the controller 150 changes the state of the second door 113 to the open state according to a signal that the second switch 122 is pressed, 2 signal to the locking device to open the second locking device.

Meanwhile, when the closed smart mailbox 100 based on IoT and the terminal 300 are separated from each other by a certain distance, the controller 150 changes the state of all the open / close doors to the closed state.

The short range wireless communication unit 140 communicates with the terminal 300 capable of short range wireless communication within a predetermined distance and receives the unique number of the corresponding terminal 300 as a signal.

In particular, the short-range wireless communication unit 140 uses Bluetooth communication, and the short-range wireless communication unit 140 can control the communication distance.

If the maximum distance is less than 1 m, the communication distance frequently occurs. If the maximum distance is more than 30 m, the communication distance is not close to the maximum. Fall off.

The signal received from the short range wireless communication unit 140 from the terminal 300 is transmitted to the control unit 150 and the control unit 150 transmits the signal received from the corresponding terminal 300 through the network communication unit 130 Check whether it is registered as belonging to family member or mailman through signal.

Therefore, the control unit 150 can determine that the terminal 300 registered by the household member or the mail carrier is close to the terminal 300.

If the control unit 150 determines that the terminal 300 registered as owned by the household member is close, the controller 150 changes the state of the first door to the standby state.

When the control unit 150 determines that the terminal 300 registered as the owning source is close, the control unit 150 changes the states of the first and second open / close doors to the standby state.

The network communication unit 130 is capable of communicating with the integration server 200 through network communication. In particular, the integration server 200 can use a web server.

An LED unit 170 is further formed on the front surface of the box body 110. The LED unit 170 is controlled by the controller 150 to check the control status of the opening and closing door from the outside.

In particular, the LED unit 170 may output different colors depending on the control state.

For example, the LED unit 170 is controlled by the control unit 150, and does not output colors when all the opening and closing units are locked.

In other cases, when all of the opening and closing portions are in the open state, that is, in the closed state or the standby state, and at least one of the opening and closing portions is in the standby state, yellow is outputted.

As another example, when at least one opening / closing part is open, green is outputted.

A sensing unit 180 is further provided in the inner space of the box body 110. The sensing unit 180 senses mails in the body and sends a signal to the controller.

Particularly, the sensing unit 180 uses an infrared sensor that sends a signal to the control unit 150 so as to identify the mail in the body space. The controller 150 controls the infrared sensor And transmits a signal to the integrated server 200 after confirming the incoming or outgoing.

The integrated server 200 transmits a signal to the terminal 300 of the household member having the authority of the IoT-based closed smart mailbox 100. The terminal 300 notifies the input / The household member knows the input and collection status of the mail through the notification of the terminal 300.

The closed smart mail box control method based on the IoT according to the present invention determines that the terminal 300 in the state where the short range wireless communication function is turned on is located within a certain distance in the short range wireless communication unit 140 of the closed smart mailbox 100 based on the IoT A proximity confirmation step of receiving a unique number as a signal from the terminal 300; The unique number received through the signal received from the terminal 300 is registered as a household member or mailman who can control the closed smart mailbox 100 based on the IoT to the integration server 200 through the network communication unit 130 A confirming step of confirming whether or not it is possible; If the unique number of the terminal 300 is registered in the integration server, changing the open / close door to the standby state according to the authority and maintaining the standby state; A locking device opening step in which the opening / closing door is changed to an opened state and the locking device 160 is locked to lock the opening / closing door when the control device 150 pushes the opening / closing door kept in the standby state and presses the switch 120; .

There are a number of IoT-based closed smart mailboxes 100 and terminals 300, and each device has a unique number that can identify the device.

The closed smart mailbox 100 based on the IoT through the web or the application can request the integration server 200 to register the unique number and the unique number to the terminal 300 as a household member or a mail carrier.

The integration server 200 stores the unique number of the closed smart mailbox 100 based on the IoT based on the ID number of the terminal 300 and the unique number of the terminal 300 as a household member or a mail delivery carrier to register the user.

In the integration server 200, the household members and the mail carrier are set and stored differently according to a predetermined method.

At this time, the authority is a right to open at least one of the first opening / closing part and the second opening / closing part of the matched IoT-based closed smart mailbox 100.

The household member has authority to the first opening and closing unit, and the mail carrier has all rights to the first opening and closing unit and the second opening and closing unit.

In another embodiment, a temporary smart mailbox can be opened based on the IoT based on the provision of temporary authority through the terminal of another user.

The integration server can request the integration server to grant the temporary authority to another user's terminal through the terminal of the household member, and the integration server can request the authority corresponding to the unique number of the terminal of the generation member to a predetermined time, And registers the terminal unique number of another user so that the terminal has the temporary authority.

Therefore, it is possible to grant a temporary authority to another user's terminal through the user's terminal, and to open a closed smart mailbox based on the IoT based on temporary entitlement through another user's terminal.

Each step of the IoT-based closed smart mailbox control method of the present invention will be described in detail as follows.

In the proximity confirmation step, the short range wireless communication unit 140 transmits a wireless communication signal within a predetermined distance, and the terminal 300 receiving the wireless communication signal returns a wireless communication signal including the unique number.

When the short range wireless communication unit 140 receives a signal including the unique number from the terminal 300, the short range wireless communication unit 140 transmits a signal including a unique number to the controller 150, The terminal 300 determines that the terminal 300 is located in a short distance.

In the checking step, the control unit 150 sends a unique number to the network server 130 to confirm the authority of the signal including the unique number through the unique number.

In the standby state maintenance step, the state of one or more opening / closing units corresponding to the authority acquired from the integration server 200 through the unique number is changed to a standby state and maintained.

At this time, the standby state is in the open state ready state.
