Referring to FIG. 1 , an electronic storage device 110 according to the present invention includes a storage processing unit 111 , a time confirmation unit 113 and a state conversion unit 114 .

First of all, when a product manager receives a delivery order for a predetermined product from a customer, the product to be delivered to the customer is prepared and stored in the electronic storage box device 110, and then a predetermined product is agreed upon in advance. 1 A delivery man may be requested to deliver the goods stored in the electronic storage device 110 to the customer.

In this case, a predetermined first unique identification number may be pre-issued for the first delivery person, and the first unique identification number may be pre-stored in the first delivery person terminal 150 possessed by the first delivery person. can In this situation, the manager, through the manager terminal 140 possessed by the manager, the first unique identification number for the first delivery person, and the first delivery person must complete the pick-up work for the product. Information about the deadline may be transmitted to the electronic storage device 110 of the present invention.

Specifically, the manager may input the first unique identification number for the first delivery person and information about the deadline on the manager terminal 140, and then the manager terminal 140 may input the information about the deadline. The first unique identification number and information about the deadline may be transmitted to the electronic storage box device 110 of the present invention.

In this way, when information about the first unique identification number and the deadline is received by the electronic storage device 110 from the manager terminal 140, the storage processing unit 111 receives the first unique identification number and the deadline. Information about time is stored in the delivery information database 112 .

For example, it is assumed that the first unique identification number such as '7085' and information about the deadline such as '2:00 PM' are received from the manager terminal 140 to the electronic storage device 110 .

Then, the storage processing unit 111 may store information about '7085' as the first unique identification number and '2:00 pm' as the deadline in the delivery information database 112 as shown in Table 1 below.

First unique identification number deadline 7085 14:00

In this way, after the first unique identification number and the information on the deadline are stored on the delivery information database 112, in a state in which the door of the electronic storage box device 110 is locked, the first delivery person electronically In order to pick up products stored in the storage box device 110, after moving to a location where the electronic storage box device 110 is provided, through an electronic tag reader preloaded in the first deliveryman terminal 150, the electronic storage box device When recognizing the electronic tag loaded in 110, the first deliveryman terminal 150 can generate recognition information on the electronic tag and transmit it to the electronic storage box device 110. In this case, the identification information on the electronic tag may be unique identification information about the electronic tag or device-specific information of the electronic storage box device 110 recorded on the electronic tag.

In this way, when the door of the electronic locker device 110 is locked, as the first deliveryman recognizes the electronic tag through the electronic tag reader mounted on the first deliveryman terminal 150, the first deliveryman terminal ( 150), when the electronic storage box device 110 receives the recognition information on the electronic tag, the time confirmation unit 113 generates information on the current time and then sends the information stored in the delivery information database 112 to the electronic storage device 110. Based on the information about the closing time, it is determined whether the current time is before the closing time.

When it is determined that the current time is before the deadline, the state conversion unit 114 performs authentication as to whether the first delivery person is a delivery person having authority to open the door of the electronic storage box device 110, and then the When authentication of the first delivery person is completed, the door of the electronic locker device 110 is switched from a locked state to an open state.

Hereinafter, operations of the time checking unit 113 and the state switching unit 114 will be described in detail by way of example.

First, in a state in which the door of the electronic locker device 110 is locked, the first deliveryman recognizes the electronic tag loaded in the electronic locker device 110 through the electronic tag reader preloaded in the first deliveryman terminal 150. If so, the first delivery person terminal 150 can generate identification information on the electronic tag and transmit it to the electronic storage box device 110 . Accordingly, when recognition information on the electronic tag is received from the first deliveryman terminal 150 to the electronic storage box device 110, the time checking unit 113 may generate information about the current time.

Here, when it is assumed that the information on the current time is generated as '1:45 PM' by the time confirmation unit 113, the time confirmation unit 113 stores the information in the delivery information database 112 as shown in Table 1 above. Based on the stored information about the closing time of '2:00 PM', it may be determined whether the current time of '1:45 PM' is before the closing time of '2:00 PM'.

At this time, since it is confirmed that the current time of '1:45 pm' is before the deadline of '2:00 pm', the state transition unit 114 allows the first delivery man to enter the door of the electronic locker device 110. After authentication is performed as to whether the delivery person has the right to open the door, when authentication of the first delivery person is completed, the door of the electronic storage box device 110 may be switched from a locked state to an open state.

In this way, when the door of the electronic storage box device 110 is switched from a locked state to an open state by the state conversion unit 114, the first delivery person picks up the product stored in the electronic storage box device 110 and delivers it to the customer. can do.

At this time, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the state conversion unit 114 has a specific configuration for performing authentication as to whether the first delivery person is a delivery person having authority to open the door of the electronic locker device 110. , pseudo random number generation function storage unit 115, authentication event generation unit 116, pseudo random number generation unit 117, designation unit 118, authentication value request unit 119, determination unit 120, and authentication completion processing unit (121) may be included.

The pseudo random number generating function storage unit 115 stores a preset pseudo random number generating function that is previously shared with the first deliveryman terminal 150 .

Here, the pseudorandom number means a random number generated by a predetermined random number generation algorithm.

When the current time is determined to be before the deadline, the authentication event generation unit 116 performs authentication for performing authentication as to whether the first delivery person is a delivery person having authority to open the door of the electronic storage box device 110. trigger an event

When the authentication event occurs, the pseudo random number generation unit 117 checks the first unique identification number stored in the delivery information database 112, and among the numbers constituting the first unique identification number, the size is After selecting the largest first number and the smallest second number, the first number and the second number are respectively seeded to the pseudo random number generating function stored in the pseudo random number generating function storage unit 115. ), a first pseudo-random number and a second pseudo-random number are generated.

The assigning unit 118 generates a concatenated number by concatenating the first pseudo-random number and the second pseudo-random number, and generates a vector having each digit constituting the first unique identification number as a component, and the concatenated number After generating a convolution vector by performing convolution between vectors having the numbers of each digit as a component, the convolution vector is designated as a verification value for verifying the delivery person.

The authentication value requesting unit 119 requests the first delivery person terminal 150 to return an authentication value for authentication of the delivery person.

At this time, the first deliveryman terminal 150 pre-stores the first unique identification number and the pseudo-random number generating function in the first deliveryman terminal 150, and returns the authentication value from the electronic storage box device 110. When the request is received, after checking the first unique identification number pre-stored in the first deliveryman terminal 150, the first number having the largest size among the numbers constituting the first unique identification number and the size By selecting the minimum second number and inputting the first number and the second number as seeds to the pseudo random number generation function pre-stored in the first deliveryman terminal 150, respectively, the first pseudo random number and After generating the second pseudo-random number, the concatenated number is generated by concatenating the first pseudo-random number and the second pseudo-random number, and a vector having each digit constituting the first unique identification number as a component; , After generating a first authentication value by performing a convolution between vectors having each digit of the concatenated number as a component, the first authentication value may be transmitted to the electronic storage device 110 .

When the first authentication value is received from the first deliveryman terminal 150, the determination unit 120 determines whether the first authentication value is equal to the convolution vector designated as the verification value.

When the authentication completion processing unit 121 determines that the first authentication value is equal to the convolution vector specified as the verification value, the first delivery person is a delivery person having authority to open the door of the electronic locker device 110. Finally, it is confirmed that the authentication of the first delivery person is completed.

Hereinafter, an authentication event generating unit 116, a pseudo random number generating unit 117, a designating unit 118, an authentication value requesting unit 119, a first deliveryman terminal 150, a determination unit 120, and an authentication completion processing unit The operation of step 121 will be described in detail by way of example.

First, as in the above example, it is assumed that the current time of '1:45 PM' is confirmed by the time checking unit 113 as being before the closing time of '2 PM'.

Then, the authentication event generation unit 116 may generate an authentication event for performing authentication on whether the first delivery person is a delivery person having permission to open the door of the electronic storage box device 110 .

In this way, when the authentication event is generated by the authentication event generating unit 116, the pseudo random number generating unit 117 sends '7085', which is the first unique identification number stored in the delivery information database 112 as shown in Table 1 above. ', and among the numbers constituting '7085', the first unique identification number, after selecting '8' as the first number with the largest size and '0' as the second number with the smallest size, A first pseudo-random number such as '123' may be generated by inputting '8' as a seed to the pseudo-random number-generating function stored in the pseudo-random number-generating function storage unit 115, and '0' to the pseudo-random number-generating function ' may be input as a seed to generate a second pseudo-random number such as '567'.

Then, the assigning unit 118 may generate a concatenation number of '123567' by concatenating the first pseudo-random number '123' and the second pseudo-random number '567', and the first unique identification number '[7 0 8 5]', a vector having each digit constituting '7085' as components, and '[1 2', a vector having each digit constituting '123567', the concatenated number, as components. 3 5 6 7]' to generate a convolution vector, and then designate the convolution vector as a verification value for verifying the delivery person.

After that, the authentication value requesting unit 119 may request the first delivery person terminal 150 to return an authentication value for authentication of the delivery person.

At this time, the first deliveryman terminal 150 may pre-store the first unique identification number '7085' and the pseudo-random number generating function in the first deliveryman terminal 150, and the first deliveryman terminal 150 When a reply request for the authentication value is received from the electronic storage device 110 , '7085', which is the first unique identification number pre-stored in the first deliveryman terminal 150 , may be checked.

After that, the first deliveryman terminal 150 sets '8' as the first number having the largest size among the numbers constituting '7085', which is the first unique identification number, and '8' as the second number having the smallest size. 0' can be selected.

Then, the first deliveryman terminal 150 inputs the first number '8' as a seed to the pseudo-random number generation function pre-stored in the first deliveryman terminal 150 to generate the first number such as '123'. A pseudo-random number may be generated, and the second pseudo-random number such as '567' may be generated by inputting '0' as a seed to the pseudo-random number generating function.

Thereafter, the first deliveryman terminal 150 may generate the concatenated number such as '123567' by concatenating the first pseudo-random number '123' and the second pseudo-random number '567', and the first unique number '[7 0 8 5]', a vector having each digit constituting the identification number '7085' as components, and '[7 0 8 5]', a vector having each digit constituting '123567', the concatenation number, as components. [1 2 3 5 6 7]', after generating the first authentication value, the first authentication value may be transmitted to the electronic storage device 110.

At this time, when the first authentication value is received from the first delivery person terminal 150 to the electronic storage box device 110, the determination unit 120 determines that the first authentication value corresponds to the convolution vector designated as the verification value and It can be judged whether they are the same.

At this time, if it is determined that the first authentication value is equal to the convolution vector designated as the verification value, the authentication completion processing unit 121 has the first delivery person having the right to open the door of the electronic locker device 110. It is finally confirmed that the delivery person is the delivery person, and authentication of the first delivery person may be completed.

On the other hand, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the state transition unit 114, as a result of checking the time confirmation unit 113, when it is confirmed that the current time is after the deadline time, for the manager terminal 140, A query message inquiring whether to proceed with a process for opening the door of the storage box device 110 is generated and transmitted, and from the administrator terminal 140, as a response to the query message, the door of the electronic storage box device 110 is generated and transmitted. If an instruction command instructing to proceed with a process for opening is received, even though the current time is after the deadline, whether the first delivery person is a delivery person having authority to open the door of the electronic storage box device 110 After performing the authentication, when the authentication of the first delivery person is completed, the door of the electronic storage box device 110 may be switched from a locked state to an open state.

For example, unlike the above example, the current time is set to '2:05', and as a result of checking by the time confirmation unit 113, the current time '2:05' is the closing time '2:00 PM'. ' Assume that it is confirmed to be after.

Then, the state conversion unit 114 may generate and transmit an inquiry message inquiring about whether to proceed with a process for opening the door of the electronic storage device 110 to the administrator terminal 140 .

At this time, when an instruction command instructing to proceed with a process for opening the door of the electronic locker device 110 is received from the manager terminal 140 in response to the query message, the state transition unit 114 switches the current Even though the time of '2:05' is after the deadline of '2:00 PM', authentication is performed as to whether the first delivery person is a delivery person having authority to open the door of the electronic locker device 110. After that, when authentication of the first delivery person is completed, the door of the electronic locker device 110 may be switched from a locked state to an open state.

According to one embodiment of the present invention, the electronic storage device 110 may further include a warning message transmitter 122 .

The warning message transmission unit 122 does not switch the door of the electronic storage box device 110 from the locked state to the open state through the state switching unit 114 until a time according to a preset threshold time from the closing time. If not, a warning message notifying that there is a risk of a delivery accident for the product stored in the electronic storage box device 110 is generated and transmitted to the manager terminal 140 .

For example, the preset threshold time is set as '2 minutes', and from the deadline time of '2:00 PM' until the time before the preset threshold time of '2 minutes' is '1:58 PM', the state Assume that the door of the electronic locker device 110 is not switched from a locked state to an open state through the switching unit 114 .

Then, the warning message transmission unit 122 determines that there is a possibility that the first delivery person may not be able to properly pick up the product by the deadline of '2:00 pm', and for the manager terminal 140, the electronic storage box device. A warning message notifying that there is a risk of a delivery accident for the product stored in (110) can be generated and transmitted.

Through this, the manager can take emergency measures for the product stored in the electronic storage box device 110 by referring to the warning message received by the manager terminal 140 .

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the electronic storage device 110 includes k x m weight sensors 131, 132, 133, 134, a first matrix generator 123, an additional storage processor 124, and a second matrix.
