With the recent development of communication technology, various e-commerce such as telecommunication sales, Internet, cable TV, and shopping malls are being actively conducted, and accordingly, cases of direct delivery of ordered products to homes are increasing. As such, it has become a convenient era in which all products can be purchased through the phone or computer without going to the market or store.

However, the date and time of delivery of the ordered product is not constant, and there is a problem that a person must be present in the house to receive the delivered product.

Therefore, after ordering the goods, you will not be able to leave the house for a certain period of time. However, in today's family structure, where there are many dual-income couples forming a nuclear family, mail-order sales and electronic commerce cannot be used with confidence. This is because, if no one is at home when the deliveryman visits, the goods cannot be delivered, and the delivery is returned the next day. Therefore, the delivered goods cannot be received in time. Sometimes, it can be picked up at a neighbor's house or at a security office, but it is not a suitable solution because there is a risk of loss and may cause trouble to others. In addition, it is today's reality that if there are only children in the house, they cannot open the door unwillingly because they are concerned about criminal accidents such as theft.

In this way, if the delivery item is not received in time, the delivery person has to visit again on another day, so it is a huge economic loss. In the case of a short shelf life, such as food products requiring prompt delivery, the sales company responsible for delivery or Damage can occur to all consumers.

Therefore, there is an urgent need for an unmanned delivery box capable of receiving delivery items at any time without a person living in the house.

The delivery article box proposed in the present invention blocks the inner door and the outer door from being opened at the same time. That is, when the inner door and the outer door of the parcel box are opened at the same time, there is a risk that an outsider may enter the house using the parcel box, so the inner door and the outer door of the parcel box constituting the built-in box proposed in the present invention Block the door from opening at the same time.

In step S200, the delivery engineer selects a'delivery' item among a plurality of items displayed on the touch screen formed in the built-in box.

In step S202, the built-in box transmits the authentication number to the delivery driver terminal that delivers the packaged goods, and the delivery driver enters the authentication number transmitted to the delivery driver terminal into the built-in box to perform the authentication process. The authentication procedure may be performed only once for the first time, or the authentication procedure may be performed every time a package is delivered for safety.

In step S204, the delivery engineer selects'select and open a delivery box' displayed on the touch screen formed in the built-in box. As described above, the built-in box proposed in the present invention is composed of a plurality of boxes, and the delivery engineer selects any one of the plurality of boxes, and in particular, in FIG. 2, a parcel box is selected.

In step S206, the built-in box checks the open/close state of the inner door of the box selected by the delivery driver. That is, before opening the outer door of the box selected by the delivery driver, the opening and closing state of the inner door is checked. In connection with the present invention, the built-in box always checks the inner opening and closing state before opening the outer door, and if the inner door is open, the inner door must be closed.

In step S208, the built-in box closes the inner door if the inner door of the box selected by the delivery driver is open. This prevents the built-in box from opening at the same time. In connection with the present invention, the inner door of the built-in box is basically kept open so that the in-house resident can receive parcels or other items at any time.

When the inner door of the built-in box is closed in step S210, the outer door is opened.

In step S212, the built-in box closes the outer door when the delivery goods are stored in the box by the delivery driver. After that, the built-in box keeps the inner door of the box open. In addition, the built-in box notifies residents of the house that parcels are stored in the box.

As described above, since the inner door is basically kept open, the in-house resident can receive the package without a separate authentication procedure. In addition, if the outer door is not closed due to carelessness of the delivery driver (that is, if the outer door is opened), the inner door is not opened, so the resident of the house must move outside the house and close the opened outer door. That is, in the built-in box of the present invention, the inner door can be opened only when the outer door is kept closed.

As described above, the present invention has the advantage of being able to receive a parcel delivery product in a non-face-to-face manner, and in particular, it is possible to receive a parcel delivery product at home without opening the front door.

In addition, in order to block children from entering the built-in box, the present invention basically keeps the inner door open when there is an article inside the box, but when there is no article inside the box, the inner door is closed ( That is, it remains locked). Of course, the inner door of the closed built-in box can be opened after completing the verification process of the residents of the house or by selecting a box during the request (laundry, courier service, and old clothes discharge).

In relation to the present invention, the laundry box is provided with a laundry rod and a load cell capable of measuring weight on the bottom of the laundry box. In general, when requesting laundry, the laundry is stored on the floor of the laundry box, and the laundry that has been washed is hung on a laundry stick. Accordingly, in the present invention, a load cell capable of measuring the weight of laundry is mounted (installed) on the bottom (bottom) of the laundry box and the laundry rod.

In step S300, the built-in box opens the inner door of the laundry box at the request of a resident of the house, and measures the weight of the laundry stored therein. Of course, the built-in box measures the weight of the laundry stored inside when the open inner door is closed.

In step S302, the built-in box stores the measured weight of the laundry and, if necessary, provides the weight of the laundry to the in-house resident (a display of the in-house resident terminal, application, or built-in box).

In step S304, the built-in box provides to the laundry terminal that laundry is stored in the laundry box. In this case, the built-in box can provide the weight of the stored laundry to the laundry terminal.

In step S306, the built-in box opens the outer door of the laundry box after performing an authentication procedure for the collection of laundry requested by the laundry terminal. The authentication procedure can be performed once or each time as described above.

In step S308, the built-in box provides the weight of the laundry collected by the laundry terminal when the open outer door is closed. In this way, the built-in box provides the weight of the stored laundry to the terminal of the residents of the house, and when the laundry is collected, it is provided to the laundry terminal of the weight of the collected laundry. Of course, the built-in box measures the weight of laundry required for washing by using a load cell mounted on the bottom of the laundry box.

Through the above-described process, the laundry terminal collects the laundry stored in the laundry box. Hereinafter, a process of delivering the washed laundry will be described.

If it is requested to open the laundry box of the built-in box in step S310, an authentication procedure is performed. The authentication procedure for opening the laundry box is as described in FIG. 2.

When the outer door of the laundry box is opened in step S312, the laundry is caught on the laundry rod.

In step S314, when the outer door of the laundry box is closed, the built-in measures the weight of the laundry using a load cell mounted on the laundry rod, and provides the measured weight to the laundry terminal and the in-house resident terminal. Of course, the weight of the laundry measured by the load cell mounted on the bottom of the laundry box before the built-in is compared with the weight of the laundry measured by the load cell mounted on the laundry rod. If the error range is exceeded, the laundry terminal and the in-house resident terminal are used. You can provide information about it. In this way, the laundry terminal and the in-house resident terminal recognize that laundry is not normally washed, and that some laundry is missing.

The following method can be used to determine whether the weight of the laundry exceeds the error range. Through learning, it is possible to grasp the number of clothes requested by residents of the house, and use the number of clothes and the number of hangers used. In addition, as described above, it is possible to determine whether the laundry was normally washed using the weight of the laundry or in various other forms.

In connection with the present invention, when the inner door of the laundry box is opened, the zero point of the load cell mounted on the bottom of the laundry box is automatically adjusted, and when the outer door of the laundry box is opened, the zero point of the load cell mounted on the laundry rod is automatically adjusted. . That is, the zero points of different load cells are automatically adjusted according to the time point when laundry is stored in the laundry box.

With reference to Figure 4, the built-in box shows a method of discharging old clothes. As described above, a load cell capable of measuring weight is mounted on the bottom of the laundry box.

In step S400, the resident of the house opens the inner door of the laundry box. When the inner door of the laundry box is opened, the zero point of the load cell is automatically adjusted.

In step S402, the built-in box measures the weight of the inserted old clothes when the inner door of the laundry box is closed.

In step S404, the built-in box provides the measured weight of the old clothes to the in-house resident terminal, and separately, the weight of the old clothes required to be collected by the old clothes collector terminal and the unique information of the built-in box are provided.

In step S406, the built-in box opens the outer door of the laundry box at the request of the old clothes collector terminal, and when the open outer door is closed, points are accumulated corresponding to the weight of the old clothes collected by the in-house resident terminal. Of course, if the built-in box is less than the set weight of the weight of the old clothes stored in the laundry box, the above-described information can be provided to the old clothes collector terminal after waiting until the weight reaches the set weight or more. That is, if the old clothes stored in the laundry box are less than the set weight, the collection request information is not provided to the collector terminal.

As described above, the present invention may request washing of laundry or collection of old clothes using a laundry box.

Hereinafter, a problem occurring in the process of requesting the laundry or collection of used clothes using a laundry box will be described. As described above, when washing laundry using one laundry box or requesting the collection of used clothes, the laundry may be delivered while the used clothes are stored in the laundry box. In this case, the old clothes collector is blocked from opening the laundry box in which the used clothes and the washed laundry are stored together. Of course, in this case, the laundry should be normally stored in the laundry box.

Accordingly, according to the present invention, in a state in which old clothes are stored in a laundry box, laundry that has been washed is normally delivered. Of course, the laundry terminal collects laundry only when it receives a text indicating that the laundry is stored in the laundry box, and does not collect the laundry if it does not receive a text indicating that the laundry is stored.

The built-in box transmits a message requesting a temporary hold of the collection of used clothes to the old clothes collector's terminal when used clothes and laundry are stored in the laundry box. The built-in box re-requests the collection of old clothes to the old clothes collector's terminal when laundry is normally collected by a resident in the house. That is, the built-in box opens the outer door to the outer door opening requested by the laundry terminal when laundry is hung on the laundry rod, and does not open the outer door to the outer door opening requested by the old clothes collector terminal. As described above, the present invention requests laundry of laundry and collection of old clothes using a laundry box. In particular, when laundry is stored in the laundry box, the outside door is not opened for the opening of the outside door requested by the old clothes collector terminal.

Incidentally, the built-in box proposed in the present invention is equipped with an ultraviolet lamp to perform a sterilization function. In the built-in box, when items are stored in each article box, the UV lamp is activated, and when the stored items are recovered, the UV lamp is turned off. Of course, when the inner door of the built-in box is open (request for laundry, courier service, and old clothes collection), the UV lamp may not be activated. In addition, whether or not to use the UV lamp can be set by an in-house resident through an application or a wall pad.
