1 is a block diagram of a smart mail/courier integrated storage system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The smart mail/courier integrated storage system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is composed of an integrated management server 110, a storage box 120, and a smart terminal 130, and further includes a shipper smart terminal 140 can do.

The integrated management server 110 integrates and manages the storage processing and control of the storage box.

More specifically, the integrated management server 110 controls the storage box in the process of being stored in the storage box in the storage box, stores information that has been stored in the storage box in the storage box, provides it to the recipient, and when the recipient receives the archive, Information is provided to the shipper or sender that the archive has been delivered to the recipient.

The integrated management server 110 serves to collect, store, process, and provide information related to delivery of courier and mail using a storage box. The integrated management server 110 can communicate with a delivery service company server or a post office server, can communicate with a financial institution server for payment processing, and receive advertisement information to be displayed on the display of the storage box 120 In order to do so, it may communicate with the corporate server. In addition, communication with external servers required to provide postal/courier services can be performed. The integrated management server 110 may communicate with the recipient's smart terminal 130, a wall pad installed in the home, and the like, and may communicate with the shipper's smart terminal 130.

The storage box 120 includes a plurality of individual storage boxes for storing the storage object, and opens and closes the door of the individual storage box according to authentication of a shipper or recipient.

More specifically, the storage box 120 stores the storage to be delivered to the recipient. Archives may be mail or parcels. In addition to mail/courier, it may be laundry, delivered goods, or items that are intended to be delivered or stored personally.

The storage box 120 includes a plurality of individual storage boxes for storing storage items. Individual storage boxes may include mailboxes and courier boxes. By forming the mailbox and the courier box in an integrated type, the mail and courier can be received at one place instead of at a separate place, thereby improving user convenience and management efficiency. The storage box 120 may be formed by dividing a mailbox and a delivery box, or may be formed without distinction between a mailbox and a delivery box. When a mailbox and a delivery box are classified, the mailbox may be designated for each generation, and the delivery box may be shared by multiple generations. Or it may be formed in reverse. Mailboxes may be formed in the same size, and delivery boxes may be formed in different sizes to store various items. Individual storage boxes may be formed in various other forms.

The storage box stores the storage items, but the door of the individual storage box is opened and closed according to the authentication of the shipper or recipient. At the time of delivery by the shipper, identification or authentication of the shipper is performed to open the door of the assigned individual storage box so that the shipper can store the storage box, and when the storage of the storage in the storage box is completed, the individual storage box Set a lock on the door. When a recipient wishes to receive an archive delivered to him/her, the recipient performs authentication as to whether the recipient is the recipient of the archive, and opens the door of the respective storage box so that the authenticated recipient can receive the archive stored in the storage box. do.

The storage box () may be controlled by a control unit formed therein, or may be controlled by receiving a control signal from the integrated management server 110.

The smart terminal 130 receives storage information from the integrated management server 110 and a password for authentication of the recipient.

More specifically, the smart terminal 130 is a smart terminal of the recipient, and receives storage information indicating that the storage is stored in the storage box 120 and a password for authentication of the recipient upon receipt of the storage. When the storage object is stored in the storage box 120 by the shipper, the information that the storage box 120 has been stored is transmitted to the integrated management server 110, and the integrated management server 110 is used to store the storage information and password. Is transmitted to the smart terminal 130. In this case, the integrated management server 110 may transmit the corresponding information by text message using SMS, or transmit the corresponding information to the smart terminal 130 through a notification of an application installed in the smart terminal 130. Alternatively, the wall pad may transmit the corresponding information, or the storage information and password may be transmitted to the user by using various methods other than the wall pad. The user knows the storage information through the smart terminal 130 and may receive the storage object from the storage box 120 using the received password.

The smart terminal 130 may control the storage box 120 through the integrated management server 110, and may request the integrated management server 110 for help in controlling the storage box. At this time, a customer center or complaint report may be used.

The storage box 120 may be composed of a weighing sensor 122-1 to 122-4, a processing unit 123, and a communication unit 124, as shown in FIG. 2.

The weighing sensors 122-1 to 122-4 measure the weight of objects stored in the individual storage boxes 121-1 to 121-4. The individual storage boxes 121-1 to 121-4 are selected by the shipper or when the storage items are stored through a motion detection sensor such as an IR sensor formed in the individual storage boxes 121-1 to 121-4, Measure. The weighing sensors 122-1 to 122-4 may operate in a power saving mode in a standby state in a state in which the stored objects are not stored, and may operate in an operation mode when the stored objects are stored. The weight values measured by the weighing sensors 122-1 to 122-4 are used to generate a password, and thus precise weighing sensors 122-1 to 122-4 may be used. The precision of the weighing may be several mg to several grams. For example, a weighing sensor measuring 1 mg can be used. The weight measurement sensor applied to the mailbox can be applied with a more precise weight measurement sensor than the weight measurement sensor applied to the delivery box.

When the storage object is stored in the individual storage box, the processing unit 123 generates a password using the recipient's smart terminal information included in the storage object information and the weight value measured by the weighing sensor, and receives the password. , The recipient authentication is performed using the received password.

The weight value measured by the weighing sensor is transmitted to the processing unit 123. The processing unit 123 may generate storage information using the measured weight value and transmit it to the integrated management server 110 or the smart terminal 130. In addition, the processing unit 123 is used to generate a high security password by using the weight value measured by the weighing sensor.

Since the weight of the storage object varies for each storage object, it can be used to generate a different password for each delivery. In addition, even if a password is leaked due to hacking by a third party, the weight of the archive is not accurately known, and authentication is impossible, so the security of the archive can be improved.

The processing unit 123 generates a password using the smart terminal information, which is the recipient information, together with the weight value, which is the information of the article. The smart terminal information uses the recipient's smart terminal information included in the storage information of the archive. The storage information may be input by the shipper or may be received from a delivery service provider server or a post office server through the integrated management server 110. The recipient's smart terminal information may be a unique identification number of the smart terminal 130. It could be a phone number, for example. The phone number may be a safe phone number.

The communication unit 124 transmits the storage information and the generated password to the integrated management server 110 or the recipient's smart terminal 130 included in the storage information. The communication unit 124 may communicate with the integrated management server 110 to transmit and receive control signals and processing result data. In addition, data may be transmitted/received through wired/wireless communication with a smart terminal, or communication with an external server or device may be performed. When the processing unit 123 generates a password, the communication unit 124 transmits the password together with the storage information to the integrated management server 110 or the smart terminal 130.

When receiving the password, the processing unit 123 performs recipient authentication using the received password. Specifically, when receiving the smart terminal information and password of the smart terminal from a predetermined smart terminal, the processing unit 123 reads the weight value from the password using the smart terminal information, and among the archives currently stored in the storage box , It is determined whether there is an archive with the read weight value and the weight value, and if there is an archive with the read weight value and the weight value, the recipient's smart terminal information included in the archive information of the archive Is determined whether or not it matches the smart terminal information of the smart terminal that received the password, and when the weight value and the smart terminal information all match, the door of the individual storage box in which the corresponding storage object is stored is unlocked.

A process of generating a password and performing recipient authentication using the password, and opening the Boguam box door during authentication will be described with reference to FIG. 3.

When the storage object is stored in the storage box 120 by the shipper, the processing unit 123 of the storage box 120 detects and measures the weight of the storage object (S1). Thereafter, a password is generated using the weight value and smart terminal information included in the storage information.

In this case, the password may be generated through encryption of FIG. 4. Encryption may be performed through Equation 1 below.

[Equation 1]

C=E _K (P) or C=E _P (K)

Here, E is an encryption algorithm, P is smart terminal information (phone number), K is a weight value, and C is a password. That is, a password can be generated by applying an encryption algorithm using a weight value as a key value for smart terminal information. Alternatively, a password may be generated by applying an encryption algorithm using smart terminal information as a key value for the weight value. The encryption algorithm may include various encryption methods such as DES (Data Encryption Standard), 3DES, IDEA, and AES.

Or, you can change the key value once. When applying the key value, the OTP value can be used. Security can be improved by performing encryption using the OTP value along with the weight value and smart terminal information. The OTP value used for generating the password is stored only in the storage box 120 to prevent leakage due to hacking of the smart terminal 130.

Alternatively, the processing unit may generate the password using the smart terminal information, the weight value, and a first value set differently for each storage box. When applying the weight value, the password may be generated by adding or multiplying the first values set differently for each individual storage box, and using a weight value different from the actual weight value of the storage object. If the weight value is provided when providing storage information, the weight value may be leaked to the outside. Therefore, a password is generated using the weight value, but for each individual storage box that holds the same weight, The weight value used to generate the password can be different. When a password is transmitted to the user's smart terminal 130, information on the storage box stored in the storage box is not provided, thereby improving security. When authenticating the recipient, only password and smart terminal information are required, so there is no need to provide a storage box number to the user. Through this, information exposure can be reduced, and security can be improved.

After the processing unit 123 generates the password, the password is transmitted to the integrated management server 110 (S3). The integrated management server 110 transmits the storage information and password to the smart terminal 130 (S4).

When the recipient wants to receive the archive, the smart terminal 130 transmits (S5) the password received from the integrated management server 110 and his/her smart terminal information to the storage box 120 (S5).

When the storage box 120 receives the password and smart terminal information, it reads the weight value using the password and smart terminal information.

In this case, the weight value may be read through the decoding of FIG. 5. The decoding may be performed through Equation 2 below.

[Equation 2]

K=D _P (C)

Here, D is a decoding algorithm. The decryption is performed in reverse of the encryption algorithm to read the weight value. That is, the weight value can be calculated and read by applying a decryption algorithm using the smart terminal information as a key value for the password. It is also possible to read the smart terminal information rather than the weight value and use it for authentication first. As described above, when a weight value is used through an OTP value or an additional change, the weight value may be read using the corresponding values.

When the weight value is read, it is determined whether there is a storage object in which the read weight value and the weight value match among the objects currently stored in the storage box (S6). Weight values of objects currently stored in the storage box may be measured and stored in memory.

When there is a storage object whose read weight value and weight value match, it is determined whether the recipient's smart terminal information included in the storage object information of the storage object matches the smart terminal information of the smart terminal that received the password (S7). Even if there is a storage object having a matching weight value, since it may be calculated to have the same weight value by accident, it is determined whether the smart terminal information is matched.

When both the weight value and the smart terminal information match, the door of the individual storage box in which the corresponding storage object is stored is unlocked (S8). If both the weight value and the smart terminal information match, the recipient who receives the storage is correct. Open the door of the individual storage box in which the storage is stored to receive the storage.

The smart terminal 130 receives the storage information and a password for authentication of the recipient from the integrated management server through an application, and communicates the smart terminal information and the password in a short distance, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, QR code, or barcode. It may be transmitted to the storage box using at least one of or to the integrated management server through the application.

The smart terminal 130 may receive storage information and password from the integrated management server 110 through a text message, or receive storage information and password from the integrated management server 110 through an installed application. have.

When receiving the storage, the smart terminal 130 may transmit the smart terminal information and password directly to the storage box or through the integrated management server 110. In this case, when directly transmitting to the storage box, data including smart terminal information and password may be transmitted to the storage box using at least one of short-range communication, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, QR code, or barcode. Short-distance communication, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi can be transmitted through a communication unit, and QR codes or barcodes can be displayed on a display and transmitted through a code reader. The QR code or barcode can be generated through application processing.
