Referring to FIG. 2, a process of storing an article and finding a stored article by using the security-enhanced article storage device according to the present invention configured as described above will be described below.

First, a process of storing the article will be described with reference to the storing procedure of the article illustrated in FIG. 2A.

Applicants who want to keep the goods in the storage box 10 come to the management server 20 and press the 'Storage' button. For reference, the button may be provided in a separate input means such as a keyboard, but it will be more convenient to be displayed as a menu window on a monitor where a touch screen is introduced.

When the applicant presses the 'Storage' button, the controller 29 analyzes the information stored in the memory 26 and can be used in the storage boxes 10, that is, the article is not stored in the locking unit, transceiver, etc. The monitor 21 displays the numbers of these normally operated bins, and at the same time displays a phrase on the monitor requesting the applicant to select the number of bins that the applicant wishes to use. At this time, the speaker 22 may output a voice message to select the storage box used. In displaying the number of available storage boxes, it may be desirable to display the display state of the storage boxes 10 together on the monitor 21 so that the applicant can recognize the locations of the available storage boxes in the entire storage boxes. S11)

When the applicant selects the storage box 10 to be used, the controller 29 requests the applicant to register the fingerprint through the monitor 21. Of course, you can also request with voice through the speaker.

When the applicant inputs the fingerprint through the fingerprint reader 23 according to the request, the controller 29 determines whether the fingerprint to be compared can be used as a fingerprint to be compared when searching for an article stored in the shape of the input fingerprint and determines that the fingerprint can be used. If so, it is registered and stored in the memory 26.

In addition, the controller 29 registers the fingerprint and simultaneously photographs the applicant's face through the camera 24, and registers the photograph of the applicant's face with the fingerprint in the memory 26.

When the camera 24 is photographed, the applicant's face is located in the center of the camera image, and when the applicant's eyes, nose, and mouth are all present in the image, the user's face is photographed and registered and stored as a photograph. When the face is seen at a difficult angle in the image, do not take the camera, and do not proceed to the next step. After a certain time, the monitor 21 and the speaker 22 indicate that the picture was not taken, and the monitor returns to the initial screen. Application for storing the goods is to be restarted from the beginning (S13).

The fingerprint is registered twice, allowing the use of the storage box when the same fingerprint is inputted, and taking a picture of the face every time the fingerprint is input.

If the fingerprint of the applicant is damaged or the fingerprint recognition is not possible due to an error in fingerprint recognition, the applicant is requested to input the mobile phone number. If the phone number is entered, the SMS transmitter 30 is transmitted to the mobile phone. The password can be sent as a text message, and the applicant can register the received password as a substitute for fingerprint registration. The password entered as a substitute for fingerprint registration is also used to find stored items.

If the registration and storage of the fingerprint and the face picture are normally performed, the controller 29 requests to pay the storage fee through the monitor 21 (S15).

When the applicant completes the usage fee payment through the payment means 27 according to the usage fee payment request, the controller 29 prints the number and password of the storage box 10 to which the applicant applied for use through the printer 28. Print out the form and provide it to the applicant. (S17)

The payment means 27 may be a cash payment machine, a credit card payment machine, or a mobile payment through a mobile phone, and the like, and the password provided to the applicant may be identified through his / her registered fingerprint when searching for stored items. When it is not available, it is provided as a preliminary means to identify yourself.

When the applicant removes the paper from the printer 28, the controller 29 transmits data to unlock the door 11 through the communication unit 25 to the storage box 10, so that the applicant of the storage box 10 The door 11 can be opened.

When the control unit 19 of the storage box 10 receives data from the management server 20 through the transceiver 15 that the use of the storage box 10 of the storage box 10 is allowed, the locking unit 13 receives the data. Drive to change the locked state of the storage door 11 to the unlocked state.

If the goods are not put into the storage box 10 within a predetermined time (3 minutes to 5 minutes) after the storage door 11 is unlocked, that is, the sensor 17 mounted in the storage box indicates that the goods have been loaded. If it does not detect a certain time, the control unit 19 drives the locking unit 13 to convert the door 11 from the unlocked state to the locked state, and the management server through the transceiver 15 that the article was not put into The SMS transmitter 30 notifies the administrator of the fact by sending a text message to the manager 20 (S21, S23).

When the applicant puts the goods into the storage box 10 within a predetermined time after the lock of the storage door 11 is released, the detection sensor 17 detects that the goods have been stored and transmits them to the control unit 19.

When the door opened by the applicant is closed after receiving a signal that the goods have been stored, the control unit 19 drives the locking unit 13 to lock the door 11, and the transceiver is inputted and the storage is completed. The management server 20 informs the management server 20 through 15 so that the management server 20 can manage the usage state of the storage boxes 10 by registering it in the memory 26. (S21, S25)

If the door 11 opened by the applicant does not close even after a predetermined time (for example, 3 to 5 minutes) has elapsed after the signal indicating that the goods have been stored, the control unit 19 opens the locking unit 13. Close the open door 11 through, the closed door 11 is locked, and transmits this fact to the management server 20 through the transceiver 15. Then, the management server 20 that receives the notification sends a text message to the administrator's mobile phone through the SMS transmitter 30. (S23)

Next, a process of finding an article stored in a storage box will be described with reference to FIG. 2B.

The person who wants to find the goods stored in the storage box goes to the management server 20, and presses the 'find' button. (S30)

When the 'find' button is pressed and a request for finding an item is input, the controller 29 requests to input a fingerprint through the monitor 21. At this time, before requesting the input of the fingerprint or after the fingerprint is input by the request, it may be requested to input the number of the corresponding storage box.

When the applicant's fingerprint is recognized and input through the fingerprint reader 23 according to the fingerprint input request, the controller 29 compares the fingerprint with the applicant's fingerprint previously registered and stored in the memory 26 and agrees with the comparison result. When the data is sent to the storage box 10 requesting to change the lock state of the door 11 to the unlocked state, and if there is a mismatch, the fingerprint 21 is not registered through the monitor 21 and the speaker 22 to the applicant. Informs and changes the monitor to the initial screen (S33).

When the control unit 19 of the storage box receives data indicating that use of the storage box 10 to search for stored items from the management server 20 through the transceiver 15 is received, the lock unit 13 is driven to drive the storage door. Change the locked state of (11) to the unlocked state. (S35)

After the storage door 11 is in the unlocked state, when the holder opens the door 11 and removes the goods, the sensor 17 detects that the goods stored in the storage box 10 are absent. 19 drives the locking unit 13 to lock the door 11. At this time, if the container does not close the open door 11 after finding the goods, the control unit 19 first drives the opening and closing means of the locking unit 13 to close the open door 11 and then closes the locking means of the locking unit 13. Drive to lock the door 11 (S41).

When the sensor 17 detects that the article stored within a predetermined time (for example, 5 minutes) remains after the door 11 is unlocked, the control unit 19 changes the door to the locked state. And, this is sent to the management server 20 so that the SMS transmitter 30 notifies the administrator of this fact. In addition, the management server 20 does not find the corresponding storage box so that the storage box available at the time of the application 'storage' is not displayed on the monitor 21. (S37, S39)
