The present invention relates to an electronic, unmanned item storage system.

In general, lockers installed to temporarily store portable items, such as at subway stations, bus terminals, department stores, and marts, are mechanical systems that open and close the door by inserting coins and using a key, or the locker's door can be opened using a password randomly selected by the user. Electronic, unmanned storage systems that open and close are mainly used.

In addition, recently, biometric identification methods such as fingerprint or iris recognition have been used to further emphasize security.

However, in a mechanical system using a key, the user must always carry the key, and if the key is lost, the storage box may be damaged in the worst case. In addition, mechanical keys have security issues, so they are easy to duplicate, and unlocking the locking system is not that difficult for a key expert.

In addition, since the above-mentioned biometric identification means are expensive to manufacture, there is a problem that the cost of using storage boxes provided in public facilities inevitably increases when this method is adopted.

In addition, the unmanned electronic system that opens and closes the door of the storage box by selecting a password is still widely used today, but since it is operated unmanned, there have been security vulnerabilities, such as others forcefully opening the storage box without permission and stealing stored goods. .
