Description

Apparatus and method for Door Lock setting type Unmanned Locker}

The present invention relates to a door lock setting device for an unattended storage box system, and more particularly, an unattended storage box system capable of quickly setting the environment of all door locks in an unattended storage box system using a setting card (ie, an option card) made by an administrator. It relates to a door lock setting device and method for.

A technology related to an unmanned storage box system that enables the delivery product recipient to safely receive the delivery product without theft of the delivery product can be delivered without difficulty even if the delivery product recipient is absent. In addition, since the sender, the courier driver, and the recipient can deliver and receive parcels (baggage) at convenient times, regardless of time and place, interest and dissemination in this trend continues to increase.

Such an unmanned storage box system is configured in a cell or matrix form in which a plurality of individual storage boxes of a certain standard are provided while being able to support a delivery box mode and a locker mode, and each individual storage box is equipped with a door lock that can be locked and unlocked.

The door lock for the unattended storage system can be used only by setting the environment settings separately. And configuration is required for each card. For example, the card may be an owner card (registration card), a master card, and a user card, and the number of these cards can be made differently.

The owner card can initialize the door lock memory, register a master card and set a password, create an option card, and set the environment, i.e., a mode setting to select a delivery box mode or a locker mode, set whether to use the buzzer, set the buzzer volume, set the storage period It refers to a card that can perform such as. The master card generally refers to a card that is held by an administrator who manages the unattended storage system and can open a door when the user cannot open the storage box. And you can also open the library using the master password. That is, the master password refers to a number set so that the function of the master card can be used when the master card is not in possession. Normally, up to 3 master cards can be set, and only 1 master password can be set. The user card is a card held by a user who uses the storage box.

In order to use the unattended storage system normally, environment settings are required for all these cards. The card environment setting is done by the manufacturer during the initial delivery and installation of the unmanned storage system, so there is no difficulty at all during the initial operation from the point of view of the manager who manages and operates the unmanned storage system.

However, if the master card is lost by the manager, the environment must be reconfigured to be the same or similar to the initial delivery installation. This is because the person who has acquired the lost card can illegally use the unattended storage system.

However, environment setting has a problem that the procedure is cumbersome and time-consuming. For example, if the unattended storage system has 100 individual storage boxes, 5 cards to use and 5 environment settings per card, the administrator has to manipulate a total of 1000 times [(5+5)*100 times]. If you are a manufacturer or A/S employee who knows your door lock environment settings well and encounters them frequently, you will be able to reduce the amount of time required for configuration work, but it will be a very cumbersome problem from the perspective of the manager who manages the unmanned storage system.

For this reason, even if the Master Card is lost, the administrator often uses it as it is.In the end, this is a security problem in which a third party without permission or authentication other than the administrator opens the individual storage box without permission and takes the stored items. It was the cause that caused it.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is a door lock setting device for an unattended storage box system that can easily perform environment setting of a plurality of door locks provided in an unattended storage box system using a separately generated option card (setting card) in order to solve the above problems. And to provide a method.

The present invention uses a newly created option card (setting card) to quickly set the environment for the door lock installed for each individual storage box, while the option card cannot be used in an unmanned storage box system installed in another area or place. And a method, and the present invention will be described in more detail below based on the embodiment shown in the drawings.

As shown in FIG. 1, the unattended storage box system 10 includes a plurality of individual storage boxes 100 in the form of a cell or a matrix. In apartments and large buildings, individual storage boxes (100) are mainly used for storing parcels, and the number of them can consist of several hundred or more, and at least several dozens or more are installed in one place in public places such as terminals or subways. do.

The individual storage box 100 has a different size and has a space for storing items therein, and includes a door hinged to open the space and a door lock for opening and closing the door.

In addition, the unmanned storage box system 10 is provided with an operation module box 200 for a series of processes of storing and receiving items in an individual storage box 100. The operation module box 200 is mainly located at the center or one side of the unattended storage box system 10, and provides various functions for using all the individual storage boxes 100 provided. In some cases, two or more of these manipulation module boxes 200 may be installed.

As shown in FIG. 2, the operation module box 200 includes a touch panel 210 to enable user input, and is implemented in a touch screen method that displays various types of information and guide messages.

In addition, a module box reader 220 for reading card information in a contact or non-contact manner, a speaker 230 for guiding guide information displayed on a touch screen, and a module box memory 240 for storing various programs and various data necessary for the system. ), and an interface 250 for communicating with the operation management server (A). Although not shown, a local server may be further provided. The local server is a server that manages each unattended storage box system 10, and if the unattended storage box system 10 is located in several places, a local server is also provided accordingly. The server that manages all of these local servers becomes the operation management server (A).

In addition, a module box control unit 260 for controlling the operation of the manipulation module box 200 is provided.

Such an operation module box 200 provides a function of generating the option card 300 provided in the present embodiment. Door lock data is stored in the option card 300. The door lock data is the unique identifier (UID) of the owner card and master card, the password of the master card, the installation site code, the mode setting for the delivery box mode or the locker mode, the buzzer use or not, the buzzer volume setting, and the storage period setting (ex. , 60 minutes, 12 hours, 24 hours, etc.). Here, the installation site code is randomly generated by the module box control unit 260 when registering the owner card, and becomes information used for authentication purposes.

3 is a block diagram of an individual storage box. The individual storage box includes a door lock 110, a door lock control unit 120 that generates a door open/close signal to control driving of the door lock and a door lock environment setting function, and a door lock reader 130 and a door lock memory 140. The door lock reader 130 serves to read the option card 300, and the door lock memory 140 serves to store door lock data of the option card 300.

Next, a process of setting the door lock for the unattended storage box 10 using the option card 300 will be described. As shown in FIG. 4, in order to set the environment, an option card must first be created. The option card is the owner card.

The manager tags the owner card once to the module box reader 220 of the operation module box 200 to generate the option card 300 (S100). In this case, it is natural that the owner card must be registered in advance in the unmanned storage box system 10. If the owner card is not registered, you cannot create an option card.

When the module box reader 210 reads the owner card, the module box controller 260 determines whether the owner card is registered in the operation management server A through the interface 250 (S102). In addition, if the determination result is in the registration state, a registration start buzzer sounds through the speaker 230, and the administrator manipulates a key button displayed on the touch panel 210 for registration (S104).

If the key button operation is normal, the module box control unit 260 sounds a registration buzzer. Then, the manager tags the option card 300 to be generated to the module box reader 220 (S106). And when normal tacking is in progress, the module box controller 260 copies and stores the door lock data to the option card 300 (S108). At this time, the module box control unit 260 copies and stores the installation site code in the option card 300 together with the door lock data. As described above, the installation site code is information generated when registering the owner card, and is stored in the owner card memory (not shown).

Here, before generating the option card 300, the set door lock data must be stored in the door lock of any one individual storage box 100. That is, in order to set the door lock, the administrator must perform the environment setting of the door lock in any one individual storage box 100 and store the door lock data in the corresponding door lock memory 140, but the door lock data cannot be stored with the option card 300. Because there is. Therefore, in the present invention, the administrator only needs to set the environment for the door lock located in one individual storage box (100). This is clearly different from the conventional environment setting for all door locks.

If the copy is stored normally, the module box control unit 260 notifies that the option card 300 has been generated by sounding a registration completion buzzer (S110).

Through this process, the option card 300 in which the door lock data is copied and stored may be generated.

Here, the copying of data includes all of a series of methods of moving data from one medium to another, and, for example, both a wired method or a wireless method may be used. The wireless method also includes a wireless communication method in which data is wirelessly transmitted using a predetermined protocol. In the embodiment, it is assumed that the door lock data is copied using a wireless method. In addition, the module box reader and the door lock reader described in the present embodiment perform a function of not only recording information or reading recorded information, but also copying information.

Next, a method of setting a door lock environment using the generated option card 300 will be described. As shown in FIG. 5, the manager tags the option card 300 to the door lock reader 130 of the individual storage box 100 to be configured (S200).

Then, the door lock control unit 120 confirms that an environment setting request has occurred using the option card 300 and checks the state of the door lock memory 140 for environment setting (S202). This is because the door lock environment setting is possible only when the door lock memory 140 is in the initial state, and the initialization is performed by the module box control unit 260 or the door lock control unit 120 by a separate command.

If the check result is in the initial state (S204), the door lock controller 120 controls the door lock reader 130 to read the door lock data stored in the option card 300.

As a result, the door lock data and installation site code information stored in the option card 300 are copied to the door lock memory 140 (S206), and when the copying is completed, environment setting for the door lock is completed (S208). That is, by the copying process, the original identifier (UID) of the owner card and master card, the password of the master card, the installation site code, the mode setting for setting the delivery box mode or the locker mode, setting the buzzer use or not, and setting the buzzer volume. This is because the door lock data including the storage period setting information is stored in the corresponding individual storage box.

In addition, this environment setting process is repeatedly performed until the environment setting for the door locks of the entire individual storage boxes is completed while the administrator moves the individual storage boxes 100.

Meanwhile, if the door lock memory 140 is not initialized as a result of checking the state, it is determined whether the environment can be set by checking the installation site code (S210).

If the door lock memory 140 is not in the initial state, the door lock control unit 120 reads the installation site code stored in the option card 300 (S212). Then, it is checked whether the installation site code read from the option card 300 matches the installation site code stored in the module box memory 240 (or door lock memory) (S214). At this time, the installation site code is stored in the module box memory 240 (or the door lock memory) as well as the owner card memory in a randomly generated state when registering the owner card. As a result of this check, only when the installation site code matches, the door lock control unit 120 proceeds to step 206 to copy the door lock data stored in the option card 300 to the door lock memory 140 to complete the environment setting.

The use of the installation site code is to prevent the option card 300 from being used in other unattended storage box systems. If the above-described option card 300 can set the environment for the door lock of the unattended storage box system 10 located in another area or place, it is because a normal administrator or user cannot use the unattended storage system.

On the other hand, above, an unmanned storage box system equipped with an operation module box for management/use of individual storage boxes has been described as an example. However, the present invention can be applied to an unattended storage system in which the operation module box is not provided and each individual storage box is provided in a cell or matrix form.

That is, since the overall operation of the unmanned storage box system described above is almost the same, different parts will be described. In another embodiment of the present invention, a door lock control unit provided in each individual storage box generates an option card. At this time, when the option card is generated, the door lock control unit causes the installation site code information randomly generated when registering the owner card to be copied to the option card together.

And when the created option card is tagged to the door lock reader of an individual storage box that needs environment setting, the corresponding door lock control unit checks the state of its door lock memory, and copies and saves the door lock data stored in the option card to the door lock memory only when it is in the initial state. Thus, the door lock environment setting is performed.

In this way, even in an unmanned storage box system without an operation module box, an administrator can create an option card in any one individual storage box and set the door lock environment for the remaining individual storage boxes using the created option card.

In this way, the present invention can perform environment setting for a plurality of individual storage box door locks provided in the unattended storage box system using a newly created option card, compared to setting the environment for each master card and user card to be used in each door lock. You can see that it is possible to set the environment simply and conveniently.

Although described with reference to the illustrated embodiments of the present invention as described above, these are only exemplary, and those of ordinary skill in the technical field to which the present invention pertains, without departing from the gist and scope of the present invention, various It will be apparent that variations, modifications and other equivalent embodiments are possible. Therefore, the true technical protection scope of the present invention should be determined by the technical spirit of the appended claims.
