Referring to FIG. 5, a method according to an embodiment of the present invention may include a step in which the management server 210 receives an image photographed through a camera device (and/or a photographing device) (S510 ).

For example, the camera device may include a fisheye camera, an image recognition device, an Internet Protocol (IP) camera, and/or a closed circuit television (CCTV) camera.

For example, the camera device may be installed in a position corresponding to an unmanned storage box (and/or a plurality of storage means). For example, the camera device (and/or imaging device) is installed on the exterior, cover, exterior, and/or top of the unmanned storage box 110 (and/or each of a plurality of storage means, respectively) or is installed on a door, lock, etc. Can be. As another example, the camera device is installed at a certain height of the upper portion of the pillar member installed i) a certain distance from the unmanned storage box 110 or ii) installed within a certain distance from the unmanned storage box 110, the unmanned storage box 110 ) And/or can be installed depending on the angle and location of the user (and/or delivery driver, passerby) using the unattended storage box 110.

And, the method is the management server 210 to apply for the second information and delivery service (that is, the second service) for requesting a storage service (that is, the first service) among a plurality of storage means of the unmanned storage box 110 Identifying the reservation storage means corresponding to at least one of the third information (S520), and the management server 210 identifies the standby storage means excluding the reservation storage means among the plurality of storage means of the unmanned storage box 110 It may include the step of (S530).

For example, the management server 210 may check whether cargoes matching the second information and/or the third information are stored in each of the plurality of storage means of the unmanned storage box 110, and based on this, determine whether Service matching information may be generated. The service matching information includes, for example, information indicating a service matching a cargo stored in each of the plurality of storage means and/or status information (eg, consignment status, standby status, etc.) for the plurality of storage means. It can contain. The service matching information may include, for example, information indicating that a user who has entrusted cargo stored in each of the plurality of storage means has applied for a storage service and/or information indicating that the user has applied for a delivery service. Can.

In addition, the management server 210 sets the storage means in the entrusted state as'reserved storage means' (or'consigned state storage means', or'consigned storage means') and the standby storage means as'standby storage means' It can be set to'(or'standby storage means', or'standby storage means').

Then, the method may include the step of sensing the storage of unauthorized cargo by the management server 210 in the standby storage means (S540).

For example, when the weight corresponding to the cargo is detected by the weight sensing unit corresponding to the specific atmospheric storage means, or when a weight above a threshold is detected, the management server 210 stores unauthorized cargo for the specific atmospheric storage means Information indicating that this has occurred (eg, unauthorized cargo storage detection information) can be generated.

For example, a sound sensor (sound sensor, sound sensor) may be installed in each case part of the plurality of storage means, and sound above a threshold is detected by a sound sensor corresponding to a specific standby storage means. When the sound is detected several times or more than a threshold number of times, the management server 210 may generate information (eg, unauthorized cargo storage detection information) indicating that storage of unauthorized cargo has occurred for the specific standby storage means. have.

In addition, in this case, the management server 210 may set/reset the states of the storage means and the specific standby storage means as an'unauthorized use state'.

In addition, the camera module 1310 may recognize (or identify) an object from the acquired image through image analysis, and may generate masking image information by masking a region corresponding to the recognized object. At this time, the masking process may include, for example, an object through background modeling for separating objects and backgrounds, such as a differential image method, a Model of Gaussian (MOG) algorithm using a GMM (Gaussian Mixture Models), and a codebook algorithm. A method of extracting an object candidate region corresponding to may be used.

For example, when information indicating that storage of unauthorized cargo has occurred (eg, unauthorized cargo storage detection information) is generated by the management server 210, the camera module 1310 displays the unauthorized cargo in an image captured for a predetermined time. It is possible to control to extract the object corresponding to the unauthorized user who kept. For example, if information indicating that storage of unauthorized cargo has occurred is generated by the management server 210, the camera module 1310 extracts an object corresponding to the person from an image photographed for a predetermined time, and the Information indicating the extracted object may be delivered to the management server 210, and the management server may generate information indicating an unauthorized user based on the information indicating the received object.

Then, the method may include the step of generating alarm information including information indicating the extracted object by the management server 210 (S560).

For example, the management server 210 may control the alarm information to be generated and output through a smart storage delivery service app based on information representing an unauthorized user.

Meanwhile, the S510 to S560 may be sequentially implemented, but the order may be changed, and only some of the S510 to S560 may be implemented in combination with other substrates of the present invention.

Next, the management server 210 checks or determines whether the unmanned storage box 110 is capable of accommodating the number, size, and/or weight of the cargo of the user based on information indicating the state of the unmanned storage box 110. Can. However, when the user who applies for the delivery service requests the delivery service, it seems that it is more likely to leave in search of another unmanned storage box than when the user stores (or entrusts) a part of his cargo in the unmanned storage box 110. In order to enable more users to be provided with the following services, the present invention intends to propose a'direct consign delivery service'.

The management server 210 may check or determine whether the unmanned storage box 110 is capable of accommodating the number, size, and/or weight of the cargo of the user based on information indicating the state of the unmanned storage box 110. Referring to Table 1, storage means capable of providing a storage service in an unmanned storage box 110 and/or providing a storage process in a delivery service are in a standby state, except for the damaged storage means and the checked storage means. There are only storage means, that is, the first storage means and the fourth storage means. At this time, the management server 210 considers the number, size, and/or weight of the cargo to be entrusted by the user, and the user's cargo accommodates an acceptable space of the first storage means (eg, 40 cmХ26cmХ55cm) and a fourth storage means. It is possible to compare and judge whether it is all acceptable in the available space (eg, 46cmХ28cmХ65cm).

The management server 210 confirms or determines whether the number and/or weight of the cargo of the user are all acceptable based on information indicating the state of the unmanned storage box 110, and then determines the unmanned storage box 110. ), if it is determined that there is insufficient space (i.e., acceptable space), i) providing information to the user that the direct consignment delivery service can be provided, and ii) the first location of the unmanned storage box 110 Based on the information and the plurality of third location information of the plurality of delivery articles, transmits the information requesting the direct consignment delivery service to the plurality of delivery articles (to multiple delivery driver terminals and/or to the management article terminal) or Can deliver. For example, the process by which the management server 210 checks or determines whether the number and/or weight of the user's cargo is all acceptable is i) the size of each of a plurality of storage means of the unmanned storage box (And/or the size of the accommodation space, the size of the case portion) and state information (eg, standby state, consignment state, damage state, etc.).

Meanwhile, among the plurality of delivery articles, there may be a main delivery article managing a schedule of other delivery articles, and a terminal used by the main delivery article may be referred to as a'management article terminal'.

The management engineer terminal may receive information directly requesting the consignment delivery service from the management server 210, and the management engineer terminal directly entrusts at least one delivery engineer terminal based on the information requesting the direct consignment delivery service A message instructing delivery (direct consignment instruction message) may be transmitted.

Meanwhile, the management engineer terminal may broadcast a plurality of first synchronization signals before transmitting the direct trust indication message. Here, broadcasting may be referred to as broadcast communication, which is a technology in which a transmitting device simultaneously transmits the same information or message to a plurality of devices, and the broadcasting method is 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project), an international standardization organization, and And/or based on communication technology standardized by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). In addition, the first synchronization signal may include a Primary Synchronization Signal (PSS) and/or Secondary Synchronization Signal (SSS) defined in 3GPP, wherein the PSS and/or SSS is at least in at least one subframe of one radio frame. It may be allocated to one specific resource block (RB) and transmitted (or transmitted) and/or broadcast (broadcasting). The radio frame, subframe, and RB may conform to the standard specification of 3GPP.

In addition, at least one delivery driver terminal may reply the first response signal to the management driver terminal in response to the first synchronization signal. Here, the first response signal indicates a time (eg, the first synchronization signal reception time) at which the first synchronization signal transmitted and/or broadcast from the management engineer terminal was received through the communication module of the at least one delivery engineer terminal. Information may be included. On the other hand, the first synchronization signal reception time is a time difference caused by propagation delay (propagation delay) that occurs according to the distance between at least one delivery engineer terminal and the management engineer terminal (eg, the time transmitted from the transmitter and the receiver received Difference between time points, difference between the time point received at the receiver and the time point transmitted at the transmitter.

Then, the management engineer terminal and/or the management server 210 may set the first offset information based on the first response signal. As described above, an embodiment of the present invention has a technical effect in that offset information (or offset timing) for offsetting propagation delay generated according to a distance between a plurality of terminals can be set.

Further, at least one delivery driver terminal and/or the management driver terminal may determine a transmission timing of a signal to be additionally transmitted based on the first offset information and transmit an additional signal based on the determined transmission timing.

For example, a time point when the management engineer terminal transmits and/or broadcasts the first synchronization signal to at least one delivery driver terminal is defined as't ₁ ', and at least one delivery driver terminal recalls the first synchronization signal. When the time point received from the management engineer terminal is defined as't ₂ ', the time difference caused by the propagation delay can be expressed as't ₂ -t ₁ '. At this time, the terminal of the management engineer controls i) to output specific information through its output module at the'T' time, and ii) at a time earlier than'T-(t ₂ -t ₁ )'or'T+t _1- At t ₂ ′, the specific information may be delivered (transmitted and/or broadcast) to the at least one delivery driver terminal. Assuming that the time it takes for the management engineer terminal and at least one delivery engineer terminal to receive the signal and output through the output module is the same, the above method can solve the problem that may occur due to the propagation delay. It has a technical effect. In addition, according to the present invention, the at least one delivery driver terminal and the management driver terminal can enable synchronized operation, that is, transmission and reception of an error-free signal.
