Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. The present invention may be subject to various changes and may have various forms, and should be understood to include all changes, equivalents, and substitutes included in the spirit and technical scope of the present invention.

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

Figure 1 is a configuration diagram of a customized charging storage device for a communication terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, a customized charging storage device for a communication terminal may have a cabinet structure 100 in which a plurality of storage boxes are arranged in an N It can be.

For example, a custom charging storage unit may have storage bins in a cabinet configuration (100) in a 4 It can be arranged to have any one of the array structures (type 100). Each storage box is assigned a number and displayed externally for easy identification by the user, and the number and arrangement position of the storage box are stored in the control device 320 or the computer of the operation management system, which will be described later.

A touch-type monitor 110 capable of inputting a password and a fingerprint reader 350 capable of fingerprint recognition may be placed at a predetermined location (e.g., upper left, etc.) of the cabinet structure 100. Fingerprint recognition and password input are performed separately. It is used to open and close the door of the storage box.

In FIG. 1, reference number 120 may refer to an item storage box that can store general items other than communication terminals.

The touch monitor 110 of the present invention can provide a variety of user interfaces and a fingerprint registration menu function for the user of each storage box. This fingerprint registration allows the user to open and close the door to store a smartphone, etc. in the storage box. It is the first means to use when doing this.

For example, the touch monitor 110 presents a “fingerprint registration guide menu” on the initial screen that guides the user to scan the fingerprint on the fingerprint reader 350 for fingerprint recognition, and allows the user to scan the fingerprint on the fingerprint reader 350. When scanned, the fingerprint information is stored and registered in the storage device included in the fingerprint reader 350 or the control device 320, which will be described later.

Next, the control device 320 displays the number of the storage box in which the communication terminal will be stored on the touch monitor 110 and operates the second LED unit 210 of the door unit 208 to facilitate the user's location of the storage box. To identify the number, open the door 208 of the storage box of the corresponding number and allow the user to store the communication terminal.

Above, the control device 320 displays on the touch monitor 110 the storage box number whose number is the first among the storage boxes excluding the number of the storage box in use or the number of a fixed user (a storage box whose user is designated in advance by the administrator).

In addition, the control device 320 can assign storage boxes in the order of the original storage box numbers even if there is an empty space in the middle of the storage box number among the storage boxes that are in use or the number of a fixed user (a storage box that is pre-assigned by the administrator). there is.

For example, the control device 320 displays on the touch monitor 110 to use storage box 9 even if storage boxes 1 to 3 and 5 to 8 are in use and the middle storage box 4 is empty (the middle storage box 4 is It is empty because the user has already used it once and retrieved the phone).

In this way, by excluding storage boxes that have been used once and always assigning unused storage boxes in order of storage number, all storage boxes can be used evenly, preventing equipment failures such as charging devices and UV devices due to excessive use of specific storage boxes.

Alternatively, the control device 320 may display the numbers of all empty storage boxes available on the touch monitor 110 and allow the user to directly select the number of the storage box.

In this way, the control device 320 assigns storage box numbers, which makes it easier to identify unused storage boxes and improves the utilization rate of the storage boxes.

Afterwards, when the user stores the communication terminal in the storage box of the corresponding number and connects the communication terminal to the charging unit 204 of the storage box, the locking device of the door unit 208 is switched to the ON ready state, and when the door unit 208 is closed, the locking device is activated. is turned ON and locks the door part (208). Even if the user does not connect the communication terminal to the charging unit 204, when the door unit 208 is closed, the lock device is activated after a certain period of time to lock the door unit 208.

When recovering a communication terminal, the control device 320 displays a “fingerprint scan guidance menu” on the initial screen of the touch monitor 110 to scan a fingerprint for recovery, and the user enters the fingerprint on the fingerprint reader 350. When recognized, the control device 320 opens the door 208 of the storage box based on the registered user's fingerprint information and the number of the storage box, and operates the second LED unit 210 of the door 208. Allows users to easily locate the storage box and retrieve the communication terminal. When the communication terminal is recovered, the control device 320 deletes the stored user's fingerprint information.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, since the door of the storage box can be opened and closed using a fingerprint recognition technique, the door of the storage box can be opened and closed easily and quickly without the need to carry a key or RFID card.

In addition, the touch monitor 110 may provide a touch pad function for entering a password, which is used when fingerprint recognition is not possible (e.g., wet hands, damaged fingerprints, hyperhidrosis, etc.) It is a second means used when opening and closing the door to store.

For example, the touch monitor 110 presents a “password registration guide menu” on the initial screen that guides the user to register a password by touching the screen. When the user touches the screen, the password registration menu is displayed, and the user enters the password. When input, it is stored and registered in the storage device included in the control device 320, which will be described later.

The control device 320 sets the password when the same number is consecutive (0000, 1111, 2222, etc.), the same two-digit number is repeated (0101, 0202, 2323, etc.), or the same number is repeated more than twice (0011, 2222, etc.). If it corresponds to one of 1122, 0111, and 0119), a guidance menu saying “Password cannot be registered because the same number is consecutive” is displayed on the touch monitor 110.

Additionally, if the password is already a registered number, the control device 320 displays a guidance menu saying “This is a registered password” on the touch monitor 110.

Next, when the password is registered, the control device 320 displays the number of the storage box in which the communication terminal will be stored on the touch monitor 110 and operates the second LED portion 210 of the door portion 208 to allow the user to store the terminal. It is easy to determine the location of the number, and the door 208 of the storage box of the corresponding number is opened to allow the user to store the communication terminal.

The subsequent storage step of the communication terminal using the password is performed in the same way as the fingerprint recognition storage method.

When recovering the communication terminal, the control device 320 displays a “password input guidance menu” on the initial screen of the touch monitor 110, prompting the user to touch the screen to retrieve the password, and enters the password when the user touches the screen. A menu appears, and when the password input is completed, the control device 320 opens the door 208 of the storage box based on the registered user's password and the number of the storage box, and the second LED part of the door 208 turns on. By operating (210), the user can easily determine the location of the storage box and retrieve the communication terminal. When the communication terminal is recovered, the control device 320 deletes the stored user's password information.

If the user loses the password or makes password errors more than a certain number of times, the administrator can call the administrator and open the archive.

The control device 320 displays a guidance menu saying “The password has been incorrect more than a certain number of times” on the touch monitor 110 and displays an icon or menu to call the administrator. When a user selects and activates an icon or menu for calling a manager, a manager call device stored in the control device 320 or a computer in the management system is notified, so that the manager can be called to the site.

Alternatively, the control device 320 displays a guidance menu saying “The password is in error more than a certain number of times” on the touch monitor 110 and automatically notifies the administrator call device stored in the control device 320 or the computer of the management system to the administrator. can be called to the site, and a guidance menu saying “The manager has been called” can be displayed on the touch monitor 110.

The administrator enters the initial screen of the administrator mode through the configuration icon on the initial screen of the touch monitor 110. When the administrator enters the administrator password on the initial screen of the administrator mode and selects the storage status display menu, the control device 320 is touched. A storage box status display screen is provided on the monitor 110 to display the storage box number, use status, use start time, door opening, etc. for each storage box.

Afterwards, when the user remembers the locker number, the user's identity is confirmed and the locker is opened by selecting the door opening menu for the locker.

Alternatively, if the user does not remember the locker number, the locker number used by the user is determined based on the storage start time, the user's identity is confirmed, and the locker is opened by selecting the door opening menu of the locker.

Figure 2a is an exemplary photograph of a storage box for charging and storing a communication terminal.

Referring to FIG. 2A, the storage box may include a storage box body 202, a charging unit 204, a first LED unit 206, and a door unit 208.

Inside the storage box main body 202, an accommodating space of a predetermined size, for example, an accommodating space for accommodating a communication terminal, is formed.

The charging unit 204 mounted inside the storage box main body 202 is, for example, a low-speed or high-speed charging cable with a built-in overcurrent and overcharge protection circuit, and can perform the function of charging the battery of the communication terminal housed inside, C All types of communication terminals, including 5-pin and 8-pin, can be charged.

Unlike the above, the charging unit 204 may be a low-speed or high-speed wireless charger with a built-in overcurrent and overcharge protection circuit.

The first LED unit 206 performs a function of visually displaying the charging and fully charged state of the communication terminal. For example, when a charging cable is connected to the communication terminal, the red LED turns on, and when fully charged, the red LED turns off.

Figure 2b is an exemplary photograph showing the inside of the door portion 208 of the storage box main body.

Referring to Figure 2b, the door 208 mounted on the front of the storage box body is automatically opened by the control device 320 through a touch monitor (password input) or a fingerprint reader (fingerprint recognition), and is automatically opened for a predetermined time (e.g. , 10 seconds, 30 seconds, etc.) may be designed in such a way that the door unit 208 is automatically locked.

In addition, if the door unit 208 is opened for more than a certain period of time (for example, more than 5 minutes), an alarm signal is generated by the control device 320, and the door unit 208 is sent to the administrator call device or the computer of the management system. The opening of may be notified.

Figure 2c is an exemplary photograph of the exterior of the door portion 208. A second LED portion 210 that visually displays the location of the storage box may be mounted at a predetermined location outside the door portion 208, and the user may You can visually recognize the location of your storage box through the lighting of the second LED unit 210.

The control device 320 turns on the second LED unit 210 when a storage box is selected after fingerprint recognition or entering a password so that the user can easily determine the location of the storage box, and turns off the light when the door is locked.

In addition, the control device 320 turns on the second LED unit 210 when the door unit 208 is opened, and blinks the second LED unit 210 when the door unit 208 is opened for a certain period of time to indicate that the door unit 208 is open. Makes it easy to identify storage bins.

Figure 2d is an exemplary view of the UVC LED unit 212 mounted at a predetermined position inside the storage box main body.

Referring to FIG. 2D, when the door is closed after placing the communication terminal inside the storage box, the UVC LED operates for a predetermined period of time (eg, 20 minutes, etc.) to sterilize viruses that may exist on the outside of the communication terminal. At this time, the UVC LED may be set to operate after a predetermined time (eg, 10 seconds, 30 seconds, etc.) has elapsed after the door is closed to protect the user's human body.

Meanwhile, although not shown in FIG. 2, the charging storage device according to this embodiment may further include a spray nozzle that sprays a disinfectant solution containing a chemical component toward the communication terminal when the door is closed after the communication terminal is seated inside the storage box. there is.

Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of a management system 300 to which a charging storage device for a communication terminal can be applied.

Referring to FIG. 3, the management system 300 includes, for example, a storage box structure 310 consisting of 50 storage boxes (N connected to a computer and controlled by the computer), a monitor 340, and a plurality of fingerprint readers 350 (eg, two).

A communication terminal may be stored in each storage box of the storage box structure 310, and the stored communication terminals may be charged wired or wirelessly through a low-speed or high-speed charging unit installed inside each storage box.

The control device 320 is an ultra-small, low-cost computer such as a raspberry PI, which includes an MCU and a storage device and is capable of controlling the overall operation of the charging storage device of the communication terminal, such as the quantity of storage bins used and the storage bin usage time. , it can provide functions such as cell phone charging and storage, cell phone charging status, user information, and real-time monitoring (storage, charging, door opening).

FIG. 3 illustrates that one monitor 340 (i.e., 110) and a plurality of fingerprint readers 350 are connected to one control device 320. The fingerprint recognition devices 350 transmit fingerprint information to the storage device of the control device 320 through the router. However, this method has the disadvantage that it takes a long time to transmit fingerprint information in real time because the amount of fingerprint information is large.

The operating terminal 330 of the management system 300 is connected to a computer such as a PC or laptop and is controlled by a computer, and the computer of the management system 300 is connected to the control device 320 through wired or wireless communication. exchange information.

Figure 4 shows a Raspberry Main Finger set, that is, a control package 360, which includes a control device 320, one monitor 340, i.e. 110, and one fingerprint recognition device 350. This is an example diagram,

In FIG. 4, the management system 300 shows a case where one control package 360 is set as a master, and other control packages 361, 362, and 363 are set as slaves.

In the management system 300, one master control package 360 is always installed, and slave control packages 361, 362, and 363 are installed as needed.

In the present invention, the master control package 360 can manage and control the slave control packages 361, 362, and 363. The master control package 360 can directly control and manage all storage boxes or indirectly control and manage them through the slave control packages 361, 362, and 363. Slave control packages 361, 362, and 363 can control and manage storage boxes assigned to each slave control package.

Figure 5 shows a case where a master control package 360 and one slave control package 361 are installed. In this case, as shown in FIG. 5, all monitors 110 of the master control package 360 and the slave control package 361 are exposed, or only the monitor of the master control package 360 is exposed and the monitors 110 of the slave control package 361 are exposed. The monitor can be installed to hide it.

The control device 320 of the present invention can control group use time management so that the storage box can be used only at designated times (e.g., 26 groups can be designated 24 hours a day, and an authorized administrator can allow temporary door opening). . This can be expressed as the advantage of being able to control time autonomously without the control of a manager.

For example, the control device 320 can manage storage boxes 24 hours a day by dividing them into up to 26 groups. If there are 105 storage boxes, the storage boxes can be divided into 20 groups and the usage time of the storage box during the day can be varied for each group, so the usage time for storing mobile phones in each group, in other words, the time when mobile phone use is allowed, is determined by the group. It may be set differently.

For example, Group 1 has different locker usage times from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM, Group 2 from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, and Group 3 from 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM, so each group can store their cell phones. The use of mobile phones is prohibited during locker usage hours, and cell phone use is allowed during other times, which allows storage lockers to be managed by group.

In this way, when the storage usage time is set for each group, the administrator can flexibly adjust the mobile phone use time or storage time according to the schedule or characteristics of each group. Additionally, the administrator does not have to be present in the storage locker and control the opening of the storage box. Since mobile phone cash-out is possible for each group, non-face-to-face management and management manpower are reduced.

Of course, the control device 320 can provide a door opening menu so that the administrator can open the storage box of a specific user even while the mobile phone is being stored.

The management function for each storage group of the present invention can be automatically entered through the computer of the management system 300. For example, if information on the total number of people in an organization, information on each group within the organization, and information on available time are provided to the computer of the management system 300, the computer of the management system 300 stores information for each group based on the above information. The usage time is allocated and the corresponding information is transmitted to the storage device of the control device 320. Then, the control device 320 can control the storage box based on the management information for each group stored in the control device 320.

Additionally, the control device 320 can automatically store the usage information history of the smartphone storage box and provide a history inquiry function to manage it.

For example, the control device 320 stores at least one of the registration time when the user registers the fingerprint or password for each storage box, the opening time when the user opens the door with the fingerprint or password, or the charging time using the charging unit 204. .

In addition, the control device 320 first displays the arrangement and use of all storage boxes as a table on the monitor 110, 340 or the operation terminal 340 in the storage box status display of the administrator mode menu, and touches the storage box number on the table to display individual storage boxes. Fingerprint/password registration time, fingerprint/password registration status, door opening, registration information deletion menu, and close menu can be displayed for each storage box.

Additionally, the control device 320 may provide a function that allows setting the range of authority to use functions by specifying an administrator level, which enables systematic and stable management by distinguishing administrators.

For example, the control device 320 allows upper administrators, such as the dormitory manager or the homeroom teacher, to manage all storage boxes, and the dormitory manager or class leader in each classroom manages the storage boxes for each room or each row. With permission, you can systematically manage your archives.

To this end, the control device 320 displays a menu for registering the main manager and a plurality of auxiliary managers on the monitor or operation terminal to classify the managers by level in the manager registration display of the manager mode menu, and when only the main manager is selected, the auxiliary manager menu is disabled.

When you select the main administrator or assistant administrator, a menu is displayed asking you to enter fingerprint information or password, save the information, and mark registration complete.

If only the primary administrator is registered, management authority for all archives is granted, and if a secondary administrator is registered, management authority is granted for only part of the archive.

The storage boxes that can be managed by the assistant administrator are determined by the primary administrator. For example, when the control device 320 displays the secondary manager authority display menu in the manager mode menu on a monitor or operating terminal, the main manager selects a specific secondary manager, and the array of available storage boxes is displayed in table form. The primary administrator can select the relevant storage boxes from the table and designate the storage boxes to be managed by the secondary administrator. At this time, the available storage box arrangement excludes the fixed user's storage box.

The storage manager level management function of the present invention can be automatically entered through the computer of the management system 300. For example, information on the total number of people in an organization (number of people, individual ID, password, fingerprint information, etc.), information on the main manager of the organization (including ID, password, fingerprint information, etc.), information on groups within the organization (number of groups, number of people in each group) ), each group's auxiliary manager information (including ID, password, fingerprint information, etc.), storage box information (including the number of storage boxes, number of rows, storage information of fixed users, etc.) are provided to the computer of the management system 300, the management system Based on the above information, the computer at 300 grants the main administrator the authority to manage all storage boxes, assigns storage boxes to each group, and grants management authority to the secondary administrator for the storage boxes assigned to each group.

Next, this management authority information and group-specific storage box information (storage box number, number) is transmitted to the storage device of the control device 320, and the control device 320 controls the storage box based on the above information of the control device 320. You can.

In the present invention, the operating terminal 330 may refer to a terminal connected to a computer of the management system 300, such as a desktop PC or laptop operated by an administrator, and the monitor 340 may be the touch monitor 110 shown in FIG. 1. means, and the fingerprint reader 350 refers to a fingerprint reader mounted at a predetermined position of the cabinet structure 100.

The present invention is equipped with a fixed user function that can designate a specific storage box among the storage boxes to be available only to a specific user. To this end, the control device 320 can select the fixed user menu from the system environment settings of the administrator mode menu displayed on the monitor or operating terminal.

When the fixed user menu is selected, the storage box arrangement is displayed in a table format, and the administrator selects a specific storage box to ensure that the storage box is used only by specific people. When a library is selected for a fixed user, the number display of the library is converted from “Number” to “[Number]”, making it easy to determine which library is for a fixed user.

For example, when locker number 1 is selected, it is displayed as [1]. In the locker for fixed users, registered information such as fingerprints or passwords is not deleted even if the locker is opened or the mobile phone is retrieved, and only the administrator or fixed user can delete it.

Additionally, the present invention can automatically perform registration and management of fixed users through a computer connected to the operating terminal of the management system.

First, when user information (personal information, user ID, password, fingerprint information, etc.) to be permanently used is entered into the computer of the management system, a storage box number is automatically assigned based on the available storage box information notified from the control device 320. Afterwards, the user information and the corresponding locker number information are stored in the dedicated storage space of the control device 320.

Then, the control device 320 does not assign the storage box to the general user or temporary user, but only allows the fixed user to use it. In the table display information of the storage boxes, the storage box for the fixed user converts “number” to “[number]”. Make it easy to determine which storage box is for a fixed user.

In the present invention, the number of storage boxes for fixed users can be set to multiple, so the entire group can be designated as fixed users.

Alternatively, an organization can be divided into several groups and each group member's storage box can be designated for use by fixed users.

This fixed user function of the storage box has the effect of allowing regular users or VIPs who regularly use the storage box to use the storage box conveniently.

In addition, the present invention allows the control device 320 to identify storage boxes that are used for more than a certain period of time and notify the manager of this or display it so that the manager can easily recognize it.

To this end, the control device 320 can select the long-term holder display menu in the system environment settings of the administrator mode menu displayed on the monitor or operating terminal. When the long-term storage display menu is selected, the long-term storage time is selected from 0 hours, 6 hours, 12 hours, and 24 hours, and the control device 320 stores the storage box if the storage box is used beyond the set long-term storage time. In the table display, the relevant storage box is displayed in red so that administrators and users can easily identify it.

Of course, the control device 320 can separately store the number and number of storage boxes that have exceeded the long-term storage time and display them on a monitor or operation terminal.

Through this method, the administrator can prevent the storage box from being used for a long time without need, i.e., the storage box being used beyond the mobile phone time limit, or the storage box door being closed while entering the password due to a user's mistake, leaving the storage box unused. This has the effect of improving storage efficiency.

Additionally, the customized charging storage device of the present invention may be equipped with one or more fingerprint readers 350 as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4. For example, 1 to 4 fingerprint readers 350 may be arranged in an 8 When a plurality of fingerprint readers 350 are installed, the fingerprint recognition device 350 and the touch monitor 110 are installed together as a package, such as the control packages 360, 361, etc. of FIG. 4, or as shown in FIG. 3. A plurality of fingerprint readers 350 may be installed in one touch monitor 110.

In this way, when a plurality of fingerprint readers 350 are installed, the time for registering fingerprints or retrieving a mobile phone when a large number of users gather at the same time is significantly saved.

As shown in FIG. 4, when a plurality of fingerprint readers 350 are installed as a control package (360, 361, etc.) like the touch monitor 110, each fingerprint recognition device 350 uses the fingerprint information registered in the corresponding fingerprint recognition device. Store it in the storage device of the control package.

The master control package 360 stores the fingerprint information stored in the storage device of each slave control package 361, 362, and 363 at a certain time and controls all slaves with the stored fingerprint information. Performs automatic upload and sharing functions to share and save in packages 361, 362, and 363.

Since the amount of fingerprint information in the fingerprint recognition device is large, it takes tens of seconds to send fingerprint information in real time, so fingerprint information is not shared between control packages every time a fingerprint is registered, and the control packages update and share fingerprint information at regular intervals.

The update and sharing cycle can be selected by the administrator in advance on the administrator mode screen as one of 0, 15, 30, 45, and 60 minutes. If there is only one fingerprint reader, 0 minutes is automatically set.

Additionally, the update and share functions of control packages are automatically stopped when the user registers a fingerprint or retrieves the mobile phone, and when the update and share functions are executed, all functions using fingerprints and passwords, i.e. registration or retrieval, are stopped.

By the automatic upload and sharing function of the master control package 360, the fingerprint information of the slave control packages 361, 362, and 363 is shared, so that the storage box can be opened even if the user uses a fingerprint reader other than the one in which the user registered the fingerprint. You can.

For example, when a user registers a fingerprint in the fingerprint reader of the slave control package 361, the user's fingerprint information is stored in the slave control package 361, and the control device 320 of the master control package 360 is stored in sequential order by storage number. A storage box is assigned, and fingerprint information and storage box number are stored in the storage device of the slave control package 361.

After a certain period of time, the fingerprint information and storage number are uploaded and stored in the storage device of the master control package 360 by the automatic upload and sharing function of the master control package 360, and are shared and stored in all slave control packages 361. .

Afterwards, when the user uses a fingerprint reader of the slave control package 362 that is different from the registered fingerprint reader to retrieve the mobile phone, the slave control package 362 stores the fingerprint based on the shared fingerprint information and the storage box number. can be opened quickly.

When the control packages are configured as shown in Figure 4 and the update and sharing functions are performed by the master control package, fingerprint information is equally stored and shared in each control package, so fingerprint registration or mobile phone recovery can be quickly performed no matter which fingerprint reader the user uses. In addition, it has the effect of enabling rapid operation even when multiple users use multiple fingerprint readers at the same time.

Additionally, in the present invention, the control device 320 of the management system or, if a plurality of control packages are installed, the control device 320 of the master control package can open the doors of all storage boxes in an emergency. At this time, the archives of both regular users and general temporary users are opened, and the information of general temporary users is automatically deleted, but the information of regular users is not deleted.

This emergency opening function allows the storage box to be opened at once in cases such as unit training or emergency evacuation, allowing all users to quickly retrieve their cell phones.

To perform the emergency opening function, if button 9 of the numeric keypad icons is pressed for more than 3 seconds on the initial screen of administrator mode, a message asking “Do you want to open all doors” and a menu to select “Yes” or “NO” are displayed. When selecting "Yes", an administrator password input menu is presented, and once the administrator password is entered, all storage boxes are converted to open status.

Alternatively, when an emergency alert is received or input to the computer of the operation terminal 330, the computer automatically transmits a command to open all storage boxes to the control device 320, and the control device 320 opens all storage boxes. It can be converted.

In the present invention, the slave control packages 361, 362, and 363 of FIG. 4 do not need to be mounted inside the cabinet structure 100, but can be mounted outside the cabinet structure 100, so that the storage boxes of the cabinet structure 100 can be used as mobile phones. It can be used for both storage purposes.

For example, if some of the slave control packages (361, 362, 363) are installed on the left and right sides of the cabinet structure (100) and the slave control package is connected to the router with an RJ45 cable, data transmission with the master control package is possible, so the cabinet structure ( 100) space utilization is further improved.

Additionally, all control packages 360, 361, 362, and 363 can be placed at any location convenient for the user within the cabinet structure 100, thereby improving user convenience.

In addition, the control device 320 of the master control package 360 of the management system of the present invention performs an automatic system inspection function to check for abnormalities in each storage box and slave control packages.

For example, the control device 320 of the master control package 360 communicates with each storage box at a certain period through an RS485 communication device (LUSR485-07 in FIG. 4) as shown in FIG. 4, or the entire management system is initially operated. Communication is performed when starting or when performing the automatic upload and sharing function of the master control package 360.

Each storage box has its own control board and transmits information such as the operating status, communication status, power usage information, temperature information, etc. of the charging device, UV sterilizing device, and door electronic locks to the control device (320) of the master control package (360). ) and send it to

The control device 320 of the master control package 360 communicates with each storage box and can detect abnormalities in each device based on information from the charging device, UV sterilizing device, and door electronic lock device.

When an error occurs in each storage box, the control device 320 of the master control package 360 determines which device among the storage boxes is abnormal, displays it on the touch monitor, and notifies it to the registered administrator terminal or operation terminal.

For example, the control device 320 of the master control package 360 receives one or more of the charging status, power usage, temperature information, and operating time of the charging device, and determines the operating status (On/Off) of the UV sterilizing device. , operation time), operation status (open/lock status, open time, lock time) information of the door electronic locks, and each storage box ID information is provided to determine whether there is a problem with each device for each storage box.

In addition, the control device 320 of the master control package 360 is connected to the slave control packages via a router with an RJ45 LAN cable as shown in FIG. 4, and communicates with the slave control packages by exchanging ping signals every minute. It detects any abnormalities and can also check for any abnormalities in the fingerprint recognition device when exchanging ping signals every minute.

The LED of the fingerprint reader always operates in a normal state, and this LED operating signal is exchanged between the slave control packages and the control device 320 of the master control package 360 along with a ping signal.

If there is no LED operation signal, the control device 320 of the master control package 360 determines that the fingerprint recognition device is abnormal, displays this on the touch monitor, and notifies the registered administrator terminal or operation terminal.

In addition, the control device 320 of the master control package 360 of the management system of the present invention displays the password when the administrator password is lost, so that the administrator can easily find the password.

When the environment settings icon is pressed for more than 2 seconds on the initial screen of the touch monitor (340, 110), the control device 320 displays the administrator mode initial screen and displays a numeric keypad to enter a 4-digit password. If the password is incorrect, “Incorrect password.” A message asking “Do you want to change your password?” is displayed and a menu to select “Yes” or “NO” is presented. When the administrator selects the "NO" selection menu, the administrator mode initial screen is displayed and a numeric keypad is displayed to enter a 4-digit password. At this time, if the administrator presses button 7 on the numeric keypad for more than 3 seconds, the lost password is displayed in dim light, allowing the administrator to easily identify the lost password.
