Description

A cargo management system for secure cargo, a method, and a recording medium recording a computer readable program for executing the method

The present invention relates to a cargo management system, and more particularly, to a system and method for managing cargo requiring security management using an image code.

In general, individuals and companies have a continuous interest in logistics in order to respond to the complex and rapidly changing industrial environment. In the case of a company, a computerized system is installed and operated to more accurately perform products, information, and flow. This management system is a universal system that can be divided into warehouse, order, and transportation, and is widely used in industrial environments. there is.

However, there is a reluctance to introduce a system such as computerization for personal and private products and goods, excluding these general logistics systems, due to their characteristics. In particular, in the case of luxury goods such as art, they are mainly intended to satisfy one's private desires. In order to prevent accidents such as loss, more attention is paid to security than other cargoes.

However, for luxury goods such as art, logistics procedures and storage are voiced under the guise of applying a security element, so real-time information provision is weak for shippers who want to actually check the safety of the cargo.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a schematic block diagram of a cargo management system according to an embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 1 , the cargo management system includes an image input unit 110 , a cargo information extraction unit 120 , a cargo information transmission unit 130 , a coordinate information extraction unit 140 , and a coordinate information transmission unit 150 .

In FIG. 1 , each component of the cargo management system may be implemented only with hardware, but it will be generally implemented with hardware and software operating on the hardware.

The image input unit 110 inputs an image of the cargo, and the cargo information extraction unit 120 extracts cargo information from the recognized image code when a preset image code is recognized from the image of the cargo. 2 is a diagram illustrating an implementation example of an image code. As illustrated in FIG. 2 , the size of the image code may be implemented based on 200 * 300 mm, and for image capture, the marking color may be determined as a dark series such as black or navy blue contrasting with the background.

3 is a view showing examples of arranging image codes on cargo packaging. It is desirable to use non-reflective packaging materials for packaging of cargo, and any material for cargo safety such as paper and metal can be used. The image code can be installed in the center of the pavement and the minimum size of the image code is 200*300mm or more. For additional information, the image code can be installed 50mm apart from the corner of the pavement. The positioning of the image code is to give a standardized standard for reading the code.

The cargo information extraction unit 120 may extract corresponding information on a preset table from the image code, and the image code may be an arrangement of marks disposed in a plurality of rows and columns, respectively. In addition, the cargo information extraction unit 120 may extract the position of the corresponding information on the table from the number of blank marks between the second mark and the first mark in each column of the mark arrangement.

4 and 5 are diagrams showing examples of a table and an image code for extracting information on the table, respectively. The image code of FIG. 5 is coordinates (1, 3), (2, 2), (3, 2) for acquiring information of BC/AD-Seoul-Nowon-gu-10*10*10m in the classification table of FIG. This is the code for extracting (4, 1).

The code (CODE) is for determining the position of the recognition point for each classification, and it is determined from 1 to 5, and as shown in FIG. 5, if it is at the position 2, the first recognition point is the second. That is, the recognition point is the beginning for interpretation, and the order of recognition is in the downward direction.

An example of a more specific image code interpretation criterion is as follows.

1. Mark is the basic condition for selecting a classification table.

2. The mark in the first item means the first recognition of the mark starting from the second item.

3. The number of intervals up to the second mark of the item means the corresponding item in the classification table.

4. The relevant items are divided into major categories, medium categories, small categories, and sub-categories, and this description is an example.

5. The taxonomy is confidential and may be changed monthly or regularly.

6. The spacing between marks is up to 3 in the figure, but the number of marks to be marked according to the items of the classification table is up to 10.

The image code creation unit 150 creates an image code by using the position of the corresponding information located on the table. To this end, the image code writing unit 150 may determine the position of the second mark in the second column from the position of the mark in the first column of the mark arrangement.

Also, the image code writing unit 150 may determine the position of the second mark in the third column of the mark arrangement by using the number of blank marks between the second mark and the first mark in the second column. Also, the position of the second mark in the third column of marks may be a position spaced apart from the position of the second mark in the second column by the number of blank marks in the second column.

A process of creating an image code will be described using the examples of FIGS. 4 and 5 as follows.

0. The reference point of all marks is the second. (dotted box)

1. The first column is a code to designate the mark position of the two-column large category.

2. For 2 column marking, mark 2 lines or less. The dotted box means the starting point of the sequence, and the second mark means the third in the figure.

3. 3rd column marking is the number of marks without color located between the 2nd column (second) marking position + the 2nd column 1st marking position.

4. The 4th column marking is the number of blank marks between the 3rd column (second) marking position + the 3rd column 1st marking position.

5. Column 5 marking is the number of blank marks between the 4th column (second) marking position + 4th row 1st marking position.

More specifically, the sequence number of the mark designated in the code means the position of the major classification mark. For example, in the second case, it means the second mark position in the large classification. However, if the reference mark is located at the top, a reference error may occur, so the reference mark is designated with the second mark position (dotted line) as the first.

As in FIG. 5, when the code designates the second, the second position mark (the third in the figure) becomes the reference mark in the case of large classification starting from the second mark position. In reality, the marks are the same color, but in FIG. 5, they are displayed as different colors to indicate the standard. In addition, one marking reference line is the same, but it is divided by double lines for explanation.

As shown in the table of Figure 4, it is possible to segment the cargo through the classification code, which is automatically recognized through image capture (3D camera) and transferred to a closed network-based server so that only authorized users can share data.

Another example for describing image code writing is shown in FIGS. 6 to 9 . 6 and 8 are examples of classification tables having a coordinate configuration different from that of FIG. 4, respectively, and FIGS. 7 and 9 are diagrams showing image codes corresponding to FIGS. 6 and 8, respectively.

6 and 7, an example of writing an image code is as follows.

1. Code: Meaning of the starting position of a large classification. First

2. Large classification: Since the starting point of all marking starts from line 2, it means the second in the figure.

3. Middle classification: The lowest position because it is +3 based on the large classification marking position

4. Sub-category: It is located in the middle because it is +2 based on the middle-class marking position.

5. Sub-category: The lowest position is because it is +2 based on the sub-category marking position.

8 and 9 , an example of writing an image code is as follows.

1. Code: Meaning of the starting position of a large classification. fourth

2. Large classification: Since the starting point of all marking starts from line 2, it means the position of line 5 in the figure.

3. Middle classification: Based on the large classification marking position + 3, so 4th row position (starting point is 2nd row)

4. Sub-category: Since it is +2 based on the middle-class marking position, it is located on line 2

5. Sub-category: It is located on line 4 because it is +2 based on the sub-category marking position.

The cargo information transmitter 130 transmits the extracted cargo information to a preset user terminal. In this case, the preset terminal will generally be the shipper and the contractor.

The coordinate information extraction unit 130 extracts the coordinate information of the cargo from the image of the cargo, and the coordinate information transmission unit 140 transmits the coordinate information of the cargo to a preset site manager terminal. In this case, the image input unit 110 may input a 3D image, and the coordinate information extraction unit 130 may generate cargo coordinate information by using one-axis information among the information of the 3D image.

More specifically, to explain the example of 3D camera coordinate recognition and image processing in the cargo warehouse, the 2D image of the 3D camera in the warehouse is not projected on the imaging device, but only the depth is changed so that only the size of the object, the person, etc. are recognized. . This is to ensure a private space in the warehouse.

Outside the warehouse, it works with a camera that measures the depth of the 2D image to distinguish and store the size and person recognition of objects as well as the detailed impression and clothing of the people entering and leaving the warehouse.

10 is an overall flow chart of the loading/unloading process of cargo according to an embodiment of the present invention. The schematic process is as follows.

1. When cargo is received, mark recognition is done with a 3D camera.

2. The recognized mark goes through image analysis, and the interpreted number is sent to D/B.

3. Acquire data according to the classification table items in D/B.

4. The acquired data is transferred to the form and sent to the client and authorized administrator.

5. Basic information in the form is defined as information based on location, time, and classification table interpretation.

In summary, an object of the present invention is to enable selective access to DATA in on/off lines by using an encrypted image code, so that shape, object recognition, and size in a private space through selective acquisition of data from a 3D camera It is to remove the security loss factor by preventing the misuse of unnecessary information by protecting the cargo information by only reading the back and recording the details of the shape outside of the private space.

In addition, only the shipper and the person in charge of transport of the cargo acquire the overall information of the cargo to secure the reliability of cargo transportation and provide more accurate private data to the shipper.

Accordingly, it is necessary to solve the complexity of procedures while performing security management using a unique and differentiated encryption code compared to the existing cargo management system. In particular, one-stop cargo classification and information management is required while promptly inducing the arrival and departure of logistics through a new method rather than the existing management method such as sensors and CCTV.

To meet these needs, image codes that can be divided into large, medium, small, and sub-categories, logic that can read and computerize these image codes, and 3D cameras inside the warehouse are used to manage the size and access of objects. While doing so, the image is immediately saved, and the image is recognized only by the coordinates instead of the image.

In this way, by providing only limited information to the warehouse manager, it is possible to help the access cargo management service, and to solve the conventional problem by presenting a new packaging standard for increasing the coordinate recognition rate of the 3D camera.

According to the present invention, it is private and personal, and while making it impossible to read the flow of logistics other than the contracting party, the data of the product, information, and flow to be provided by the existing logistics system is transmitted to the contracting entity, that is, the client and the first face-to-face (directly) ) Only relevant contractors can access the entire DATA.

Other personnel involved in the flow of logistics, for example, carriers and warehouse managers, obtain and process only limited information for transportation and management, providing personal and private services to the cargo owner and a computerized system capable of recognizing the immediate situation system can be built.

Although the present invention has been described with reference to some preferred embodiments, the scope of the present invention should not be limited thereto, but should also extend to modifications or improvements of the above embodiments supported by the claims.
