FIG. 2 is a block diagram of the delivery information black box shown in FIG. 1 . 1 and 2 , a battery 260 may supply operating voltages to components 211 , 221 , 230 , 250 , 170 , 272 , 274 , and 276 .

When the supplier writer 130 is a UHF RFID writer, the UHF RFID tag 210 transfers the product information (GI), the orderer information (OI), and the supplier information (SI) received through the first antenna 212 to the bus ( 240) through the MCU (Micro Controller Unit; 230). The MCU 230 , also called a microcontroller, refers to a computer that performs a predetermined function by making a microprocessor and an input/output module into a single chip.

The product information (GI) and the supplier information (SI) are written to the first memory device 211 under the control of the MCU 230 , and the orderer information (OI) is written to the second memory device ( 221) is written. Each of the memory devices 211 and 221 may be an Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory (EEPROM). The first antenna 212 may be a dipole antenna.

Even if each of the memory devices 211 , 221 , and 250 storing the corresponding information is allocated (or physically separated), the MCU 230 shares the memory devices 211 , 221 , and 250 . Accordingly, since the MCU 230 shares (or accesses) the memory devices 211 , 221 , and 250 , the first memory device 211 and/or the second memory device 211 of the delivery information black box 200 by the UHF RFID writer 3 The information written in the memory device 250 may be stored in the second memory device 221 under the control of the MCU 230 or transmitted to the NFC reader through the NFC tag 220 and the second antenna 222 . .

In addition, information written to the second memory device 221 and/or the third memory device 250 of the delivery information black box 200 by the NFC writer is controlled by the MCU 230 in the first memory device 211 . ) or may be transmitted to the UHF RFID reader through the UHF RFID tag 210 and the first antenna 212 .

The NFC reader or NFC writer uses a frequency having 13.56 MHz and its non-contact recognition distance is as short as 10 cm, and the UHF RFID reader or UHF RFID writer uses a frequency having 860 to 960 MHz, and its non-contact recognition distance is as long as 100 m.

Device configuration information (DCI) is sensor control information for controlling the operation of each sensor 270, 272, 274, and 276, and logging start time (logging) of each sensor 270, 272, 274, and 276 ( or operation start time), logging period (or detection period) of each sensor 270 , 272 , 274 , and 276 , and alarm information generation condition of each sensor 270 , 272 , 274 , and 276 . The alarm information generation condition includes a reference value (or a range of reference values determined by the lowest reference value and the highest reference value).

For example, when the first sensor 270 is a temperature sensor and the reference value is a reference temperature value, when a temperature value sensed by the temperature sensor 270 in a logging period exceeds the reference temperature value (or a range of reference values) exit), the MCU 230 stores the temperature event occurrence information (or the temperature alarm) in the corresponding memory area MR4 , MR7 , or MR10 of the third memory device 250 .

When the second sensor 272 is a humidity sensor and the reference value is a reference humidity value, when the humidity value sensed by the humidity sensor 272 in a logging period exceeds the reference humidity value (or out of the range of reference values), The MCU 230 stores the humidity event generation information (or humidity alarm) in the corresponding memory area MR4 , MR7 , or MR10 of the third memory device 250 .

When the third sensor 274 is an acceleration sensor and the reference value is the reference acceleration value, when the acceleration value sensed by the acceleration sensor 274 in the logging period exceeds the reference acceleration value (or out of the range of reference values), The MCU 230 stores acceleration event generation information (or acceleration alarm) in the corresponding memory area MR4, MR7, or MR10 of the third memory device 250 . For example, the acceleration sensor 274 may detect an impact applied to the product 201 to which the delivery information black box 200 is attached (eg, an impact applied to the product 201 when the product 201 falls to the floor) or The inclination of the product 201 may be detected.

When the fourth sensor 276 is an illuminance sensor and the reference value is the reference illuminance value, when the illuminance value detected by the illuminance sensor 276 in the logging period exceeds the reference illuminance value (or out of the range of the reference values), The MCU 230 stores illuminance event generation information (or illuminance alarm) in the third memory device 250 . For example, the illuminance sensor 276 may detect whether the product 201 to which the delivery information black box 200 is attached has been opened before being delivered to the recipient.

According to embodiments, when the supplier writer 130 is electrically connected to the supplier server 120 , the supplier writer 130 provides product information (GI), orderer information (OI), and It is possible to light (or automatically light) the supplier information (SI) to the shipping information black box 200 (S120), and to light (or automatically light) the device configuration information (DCI) to the shipping information black box 200. There is (S122).

3 is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the sensor. 1 to 3 , the product 201 to which the delivery information black box 200 is attached is packaged for delivery (S124). In this specification, the product 201 means a product packaged by a wrapping paper or a packaging box.

The MCU 230 controls the operation of each of the sensors 270 to 276 according to the device configuration information DCI. When the logging start time comes after the product 201 is packaged, the sensors 270 to 276 are enabled (or activated) under the control of the MCU 230 to start a sensing operation (S200). Each of the sensors 270 to 276 that has started the sensing operation generates sensing information (this is also referred to as a 'sensed value') for each logging period under the control of the MCU 230 and transmits it to the MCU 230 ( S210 ).

The packaged product 201 is delivered from the supplier to the distribution center through the first transportation means (S126). Each sensor 270 to 276 included in the delivery information black box 200 generates each detection information SD1 for each logging cycle of each sensor 270 to 276 and transmits it to the MCU 230 (S210). The MCU 230 receives each sensing information SD1 and writes it to the third memory area MR3 of the third memory device 250 . For example, each of the sensing information SD1 , SD2 , and SD3 may be a temperature value, a humidity value, an acceleration value, and an illuminance value for each logging period.

For each logging period, the MCU 230 performs detection values (eg, temperature, humidity, acceleration, and illuminance) output from each of the sensors 270 , 272 , 274 , and 276 and each reference value (eg, , temperature reference value, humidity reference value, acceleration reference value, and illuminance reference value) are compared (S220), and when each detected value output from each sensor 270, 272, 274, and 276 exceeds each reference value (YES in S220) ), the MCU 230 transmits event generation information EV1 indicating that an event (eg, at least one of a temperature event, a humidity event, an acceleration event, and an illuminance event) has occurred to the third memory device 250 . The fourth memory area MR4 is written, and the respective sensed values are written to the third memory area MR3 of the third memory device 250 (S230). As shown in FIG. 4 , the event occurrence information EV1 and each sensing information SD1 are stored in different memory areas.

Each detection information SD1, SD2, and SD3 and each event occurrence information EV1, EV2, and EV3 are used as big data of a provider (or an analyst). For example, the provider server 120 uses AI or deep learning (deep structured learning, deep learning, or hierarchical learning) algorithm for each detection information (SD1, SD2, and SD3) and / or each event occurrence information (EV1) , EV2, and EV3) may be analyzed (or self-learning), and the results may be used to improve the delivery environment of the first transportation means.

Also, from the recipient's point of view, each event occurrence information EV1 , EV2 , and EV3 is used to confirm whether a defect has occurred (or whether a defect has occurred) in the received product 201 . Each detection information SD1, SD2, and SD3 and/or each event occurrence information EV1, EV2, and EV3 from the perspective of the supplier, the distribution center, and the delivery center is the defect when the product 201 is defective. It can be used as evidence to reveal who is responsible (eg, who is liable).

However, if each sensing value output from each sensor 270 , 272 , 274 , and 276 does not exceed each reference value (or, when not out of the range of the reference values, NO in S220 ), MCU 230 The sensed value is written to the third memory area MR3 of the third memory device 250 (S230).

For example, when the event occurrence information EV1 is set to the first value (eg, data 0), the detection value output from the corresponding sensor 270 , 272 , 274 , or 276 exceeds the reference value (YES in S220), the MCU 230 may change the event occurrence information EV1 indicating the fact that the event has occurred from the first value to the second value (eg, data 1).

It is assumed that each event occurrence information EV1 , EV2 , and EV3 is initially set to a first value. Accordingly, whenever each event (eg, the sensed value exceeds the reference value or the reference value is out of the range of the reference values) occurs, the MCU 230 changes the first value to the second value. Each event occurrence information EV1 , EV2 , and EV3 may be a flag corresponding to a predefined bit.

After the product 201 to which the delivery information black box 200 is attached is delivered (or arrives) to the distribution center, the logistics manager of the distribution center transmits the distribution center information LI using the distribution center writer 300 to the delivery information It writes to the black box 200 (S130). The distribution center information LI may be information (eg, a distribution center name, address, and phone number, etc.) capable of identifying a distribution center.

According to embodiments, the distribution center writer 300 may be a UHF RFID writer using the UHF RFID protocol, or may be an NFC writer using the NFC protocol.

Light (or automatically light) (S130).

The product 201 to which the delivery information black box 200 in which the distribution center information LI is written is attached is delivered from the distribution center to the distribution center through the second transportation means (S132). Each sensor 270 to 276 included in the delivery information black box 200 generates each detection information SD2 for each logging cycle of each sensor 270 to 276 and transmits it to the MCU 230 (S210). The MCU 230 writes each sensing information SD2 to the sixth memory area MR6 of the third memory device 250 .

When the sensed value output from the corresponding sensors 270, 272, 274, and 276 exceeds the reference value (YES in S220), the MCU 230 generates event generation information EV2 having a second value indicating that an event has occurred. is written to the seventh memory area MR7 of the third memory device 250 , and the sensed value is written to the sixth memory area MR6 of the third memory device 250 ( S230 ).

However, if the detected values output from the corresponding sensors 270 , 272 , 274 , and 276 do not exceed the reference value (NO in S220 ), the MCU 230 transmits the sensed value to the sixth memory device 250 . The memory area MR6 is written (S230).

After the product 201 to which the delivery information black box 200 is attached is delivered (or arrived) to the delivery center, the logistics manager of the delivery center uses the delivery center writer 400 to provide delivery center information (DI) and/or The delivery information CA is written in the delivery information black box 200 (S140). The delivery center information (DI) is information that can identify the delivery center (eg, delivery center name, delivery center address, and delivery center phone number, etc.), and the delivery center information (CA) is information that can identify the delivery center Information (eg, shipper's name and shipper's mobile phone number, etc.).

According to embodiments, the delivery center writer 400 may be a UHF RFID writer using the UHF RFID protocol, or may be an NFC writer using the NFC protocol.

When the delivery center writer 400 is a UHF RFID writer, the UHD RFID tag 210 transfers the delivery center information (DI) and/or delivery information (CA) received through the first antenna 212 to the bus 240 . through the MCU 230 . The delivery center information DI and/or the delivery person information CA is written to the first memory device 211 and/or the third memory device 250 under the control of the MCU 230 .

When the delivery center writer 400 is an NFC writer, the NFC tag 220 transmits the delivery center information (DI) and/or the delivery person information (CA) received through the second antenna 222 through the bus 240 . It is transmitted to the MCU 230 . The delivery center information DI and/or the delivery person information CA is written to the first memory device 211 and/or the third memory device 250 under the control of the MCU 230 .

According to embodiments, when the delivery center writer 400 is electrically connected to the server of the delivery center, the delivery center writer 400 is the delivery center information (DI) and / or delivery information under the control of the server of the delivery center. (CA) is written (or automatically written) in the delivery information black box 200 (S140).

The product 201 to which the delivery information black box 200 in which the delivery center information (DI) and/or the delivery information (CA) is written is delivered from the delivery center to the recipient through the third transportation means (S142).

While the product 201 is being delivered, each sensor 270 to 276 included in the delivery information black box 200 detects temperature, humidity, acceleration, and illuminance for each logging cycle of each sensor 270 to 276 and detects each The information SD3 is generated and transmitted to the MCU 230 (S210). The MCU 230 writes each sensing information SD3 to the ninth memory area MR9 of the third memory device 250 .
