Description

Title: System for the delivery of packages as well as a package bus for use in such a system

FIELD

The invention relates to a system for delivering packages to individuals and companies, as well as to a package bus for use in such a system.

BACKGROUND

The amount of packages delivered by mail or courier is increasing explosively as more and more companies and consumers order their goods via the internet.

A drawback of the delivery of packages per delivery person or courier is that the recipient, hereafter referred to as the buyer, of the package must be present to receive the package and, if necessary, to sign for receipt. It often happens that the recipient is not present and that the courier or delivery person has to resubmit the package at a later time.

Often suppliers, who will hereinafter be referred to as sellers, provide the option to exchange a product within a certain set period of time, for example 14 days. The consequence of this fairly long period is that a large part of the factual property of a large part of the goods of sellers remains with buyers, while the buyers still have the possibility to return the goods. In that period the product is not available for the seller to offer to other buyers. So it often happens that a seller's website states that the product is sold out, but shortly thereafter the product is available for sale again because a buyer has returned it because he did not like the product or for other reasons. In fact, bgt a substantial but unknown part of the goods in stock at customers. This leads to a huge capital requirement and to missed sales opportunities.

Another drawback of the internet sale according to the traditional method is that in most cases buyers have to pay the seller in advance. At reputable sellers, most buyers have no problem with that. But with unknown sellers, for example private individuals or sellers based abroad, this means that the potential buyers usually refrain from purchasing the product because the buyers risk paying in advance to an unknown seller and then not delivering it get too big find.

Yet another problem is that it often cannot be demonstrated that a delivered package does not contain the ordered goods.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The invention contemplates a system with which the above-mentioned problems can be solved at least in part. More in particular, the invention contemplates a system with which the purchase amount from the buyer is only transferred to the seller when the buyer has been able to verify that the goods delivered indeed meet his wishes. Furthermore, a system is envisaged whereby the packages can be delivered and picked up at any desired moment, without the buyer having to be present to receive the package. Another purpose of the system is that sellers are informed more quickly of the fact that a buyer wishes to return his product, so that the seller can offer it for sale on the internet again at an earlier moment, even when the seller sells the product has not yet received a return.

To this end, the invention provides a system for delivering packages to individuals and companies, the system comprising: - a number of package buses which, in a similar manner to letterboxes, are each arranged at a private home or company associated with the package bus, each of which package bus is provided with: o a package space that can be closed with a door or flap; o an electronic lock that has a locking state for keeping the door or flap in a locked closed state, wherein the electronic lock can be brought into an unlocking state by means of a code, so that the door or flap can be opened and access can be obtained to the package space; o a packet bus control comprising a packet bus control memory and which is configured for sending packet bus messages electronically and for controlling the electronic lock; - a computer server provided with an order-handling module which comprises: o a payment module that presents a website page on the internet via which a buyer can settle an item to be sent with the package, the payment module being configured to be used by a buyer using transfer the purchase price transferred to a suspense account to the website page; o a code generation module that is arranged to generate a clerk code and present it to the vendor, so that the vendor can apply the relevant code to the package to be sent, and wherein computer server is also configured to provide the clerk code to the parcel bus control of the parcel bus of the buyer for storage in the package bus control memory of the relevant package bus, wherein the code generation module is also arranged to generate a copper code and present it to the buyer when the payment module has provided a buyer code generation instruction to the code generation module, which buyer code generation instruction is only provided upon receipt of the purchase amount, the computer server also being configured to provide the copper code to the packet bus controller for storage in the packet bus controller memory; wherein the packet bus control is configured to compare the copper code and clerk code provided by the computer server to the packet bus control and stored in the packet bus control memory with an input code entered at the packet bus, and wherein the electronic lock is set to the unlock state when the input code corresponds to the copper code or vendor code provided to the packet bus.

With this system of intelligent internet-connected parcel buses that are set up at buyers and from a computer server that securely arranges order processing via a suspense account, it provides the seller with the benefit of being provided with proof that the package he has compiled has actually been deposited and delivered in the intended package bus. After all, the intended parcel bus can only be opened after a delivery code has been entered there by a delivery person which matches the vendor code stored in the parcel bus control memory. This clerk code is specific to the relevant package and is provided via the internet by the computer server to the intended package bus control for storage in the package bus control memory. The package to be delivered also carries the said seller code and the delivery person can enter the seller code upon arrival at the relevant package bus in order to be able to open the package bus. At that time, the package bus controller can easily send a message to the computer server, meaning that the package has been delivered.

A similar message can also be sent to the buyer and possibly to other parties involved, so that these people also know that the package has been deposited in the package box.

Another advantage for the seller is that he can also be informed that the package box has been opened with an input code that matches a unique buyer code that is specific to the package in question. When ordering the goods to be delivered with the package, the computer server, after receiving payment of the purchase amount on the suspense account, also provided buyer code to the buyer and to the package bus controller for storage in the package bus controller memory. Thus, when a buyer has entered the unique buyer code in the package bus control of the package bus as input code, the package bus can be opened, but the package bus control can also send a message to the seller via the computer server that the package has been received. Immediately, after some time, or alternatively or in addition only after the buyer's approval, the purchase amount placed on the suspense account can be transferred to the seller's account.

For the buyer the advantage is obtained that he knows that the purchase amount is only transferred to the seller's account after he has actually received the package. Another advantage is of course that the buyer does not have to be home to receive the package. Among other things, this also means that more certainty is obtained with regard to a timely delivery, because even when the buyer cannot be present, the package can still be delivered.

A major advantage for the delivery service is that the number of return flows can be reduced to virtually zero due to the buyer's absence. Another advantage is that the packages can also be transported and delivered at less busy times, for example at night.

This leads to faster delivery and greater efficiency. Because there is no personal contact with the delivery of a package and there is therefore no need to wait for the buyer, the delivery operation can be carried out faster. This gain in time increases the efficiency of the delivery service, so that more packages can be delivered or picked up per delivery person.

The invention also provides a package bus suitable and intended for use in a system according to the invention.

Further elaborations of the invention, such as for example an option for simple return of packages, are described in the subclaims and will be further elucidated hereinbelow on the basis of an example, with reference to the figures.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Figures 1 and 2 show an example of a package bus 10 suitable for use in the system to which the present invention relates and in which various embodiments as described in the subclaims are embodied. Figure 3 shows an example of a system in which various embodiments of the system are embodied. It is noted that the embodiments can also be applied independently of each other and that the invention is not limited to the examples shown in the figures. The reference numerals are used herein for clarification, but have no restrictive effect. An embodiment can also be designed in a different way than shown in the example shown in the figures.

In the most general terms, a system for delivering packages to individuals and companies is provided. The system comprises a number of parcel boxes 10 which, similar to a letter box, are each arranged at a private home or company B associated with the parcel box. Each parcel box 10 is provided with a parcel space 12 that can be closed with a door or flap 14. is. Furthermore, each parcel box 10 has an electronic lock 16 which has a locking state for keeping the door or flap 14 in a locked closed state. The electronic lock 16 can be brought into an unlocking state by means of a code, so that the door or valve 14 can be opened and access can be gained to the packet space 12. Furthermore, each packet bus 10 is provided with a packet bus control 18 which comprises a packet bus control memory 18a and which is configured for sending packet bus messages electronically and for controlling the electronic lock 16.

The system also comprises a computer server 20 which is provided with an order-handling module 22. The order-handling module 22 comprises a payment module 24 that presents a website page on the internet through which a buyer can settle an item to be sent with the package. The payment module 24 is configured to transfer a purchase amount transferred by a buyer using the website page to a suspense account Ai. The package controller 18 also includes a code generation module 26 that is arranged to generate a clerk code Sc and present it to the vendor, so that the vendor can apply the relevant code Sc to the packet P. to be sent. The computer server 20 is also configured to display the clerk code Sc to be provided to the package bus control 18 of the buyer's package bus 10 for storage in the package bus control memory 18a of the relevant package bus 10. The code generation module 26 is also arranged to generate a copper code Bc and to present it to the buyer when the payment module 24 for this purpose has provided buyer code generation instruction IBc to code generation module 26. Buyer code generation instruction Ibc is only provided upon receipt of purchase amount A. Computer server 20 is also configured to provide copper code Bc to package bus control 18 for storage in package bus control memory 18a. The packet bus control 18 is configured to compare the copper code Bc and clerk code Sc stored by the computer server 20 to the packet bus control 18 and stored in the packet bus control memory 18a with an input code Ic entered at the packet bus 10. When the input code Ic corresponds to the copper code Bc or seller code Sc provided by the computer server 20 to the package bus 10, the electronic lock 16 is brought into the unlocking state.

The advantages of such a system have already been extensively described in the description introduction under the heading "SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION". For convenience, the advantages and effects of the invention, as described above in general terms, will not be repeated at present.

In an embodiment, an example of which is shown in the figures, the packet bus controller 18 may be configured to generate an instruction Imd at the computer server 20 for creating a packet bus message in the form of a delivery message

Md as a result of the opening of the electronic lock 16 using the clerk code Bc.

Because the package bus controller 18 sends a delivery message Md to the computer server 20, the seller can then be informed that the package P has been delivered. Moreover, the order handling module 22 can take various actions as a result of this message, such as, for example, activating a timer with the aid of which the payment module can be triggered to transfer the purchase amount placed on the suspense account to the seller's account when a certain period of time after receipt of the delivery notice Md has expired.

In an embodiment, an example of which is shown in the figures, the delivery message Md can be sent to the seller S, the delivery message Md notifying the seller that the relevant package P has been placed in the package bus 10. Instead of or in addition thereto, the delivery message can also be sent to the buyer B, the delivery message Md notifying the buyer B of the fact that the relevant package P has been placed in the package bus 10. The buyer then knows that a package P, and also which package, has been delivered to his package bus 10 and that he can pick it up. This prevents the buyer from having to unnecessarily check the package bus 10 to check whether the delivery of a package has already taken place. After all, the buyer is informed of the fact that delivery has taken place. Following the delivery message Md sent to the seller, the seller knows for certain that the package P composed by him has actually arrived at the destination.

In an embodiment, an example of which is shown in the figures, the packet bus controller 18 may be configured to generate an Imr instruction to the computer server 20 for creating a packet bus message in the form of a delivery message Mr as a result of opening the electronic lock 16 using the copper code Bc, the purchase message Mr being sent to the seller S.

Following the acceptance message Mr, the seller S knows that his package P actually came into the hands of the buyer B. From that moment, for example, the return option period can start. Because the package bus can only be opened after entering an input code that matches the buyer code, it is also certain for the seller S that the package P has been taken from the package bus 10 by or on behalf of the authorized buyer B and not by any arbitrary person, because such a random person does not have the buyer code unique to that package P.

In an embodiment, an example of which is shown in the figures, the package bus control 18 may be configured to, after opening the package bus 10 using the buyer code Bc, send a payment instruction 1p to the computer server 20 to proceed to payment from the seller S or a third party authorized by the seller, for example the parcel delivery service. To this end, the payment module 24 may be configured to transfer the purchase amount placed on the suspense account Ai to the bank account As of the seller S or the third party authorized by the seller.

This offers the buyer B the advantage that the amount only disappears from the reliable suspense account Ai when the buyer B actually holds the package P.

In an embodiment, an example of which is shown in the figures, the relevant payment instruction 1p may be automatically generated after a preset period of time after opening the package bus 10 by means of the buyer code Bc. Such a time delay in transferring the purchase amount from the suspense account Ai to the seller's account As is that even during the inspection of the goods contained in the package P, the purchase amount still disappeared from the power of the buyer B. After all, if it returns in time by placing the package P again in the package bus 10, it can be prevented that the purchase amount from the suspense account Ai disappears.

In an embodiment, an example of which is shown in the figures, the relevant payment instruction 1p can be generated after receipt of an acceptance message Ma from the goods received in the package P. made known by the buyer B to the order handling module 22.

The acceptance message Ma can ensure that the amount placed on the suspense account reaches the seller S more quickly. The fast acceptance of the goods can be stimulated, for example, by offering a discount in the case of rapid acceptance, while in the case of slow acceptance such a discount is omitted. This allows the unknown inventory of the seller who is with customers to be minimized.

In an embodiment, an example of which is shown in the figures, the package bus control 18 of the or each package bus 10 may be configured to, for a return shipment Rs, after opening the package bus 10 using the buyer code Bc and then closing it again, the package bus 10 can be opened for a second time with the aid of the seller code Sc which is applied to the package P. In an alternative embodiment, the package P can be provided with a special package return code PRc, with the aid of which the package bus 10 can be reopened after the package P has been taken for placing the package P therein to be returned.

Thereby, the package bus control 18 can also be configured to generate a return instruction Ir which is sent to the order handling module 22 after the closing of the package bus 10 opened with the seller code Sc or return code Rc, which order is sent to the order handling module 22. The order handling module 22 can be configured to receive it after receipt of the return instruction to generate a return shipment code RCc and send it to the seller S or to a return delivery person RDS. The parcel bus control 18 can be configured to control the electronic lock 16 after entering the return retrieval code RCc to assume the unlocked state, so that the return parcel delivery person RDS can take the parcel P to be returned from the parcel box 10.

This embodiment provides the buyer B with the option of returning the package P at home, without contact with a delivery person, by placing it back in the package bus 10. The seller S or a return delivery person RDS becomes aware of this fact automatically notified by the order handling module 22 because it has received a return pick-up code RCc from the parcel bus controller 18. As a result, the return deliverer RDS may proceed immediately, or after being engaged by the seller S, to pick up the package P to be returned at a a suitable moment that can be selected independently of the presence or absence of the buyer B. In addition, the seller S can immediately add the product placed in the package box 10 for return to his stock and make it available for sale to other potential customers. Optionally, in one embodiment, the parcel bus controller 18 may be configured to, after closing the parcel bus 10 opened with the return pickup code RCc, generate a return pickup confirmation instruction that is sent to the order handler module 22, wherein the order handler module 22 is configured to receive a to create a parcel bus message in the form of a return collection confirmation message that is sent to the buyer, seller and / or other involved parties. Such an embodiment offers the advantage that the buyer, seller and / or other involved parties are informed of the fact that the return delivery person RDS has the package in his possession again and therefore quickly becomes available for delivery to a new buyer.

In an embodiment, an example of which is shown in the figures, the order handling module 22 may also be configured to, after closing the package bus 10 opened for the second time with the package return code PRc or with the seller code Sc, to repay the purchase amount A at least partially to the bank account Ab of the buyer B.

In such an embodiment, the buyer B has his money immediately again after he has placed the package P again in the package box 10 for return. A small deduction may be made when refunding the purchase amount A to settle costs incurred, such as shipping costs and the like. This encourages the buyer B to quickly see whether he / she likes the goods in the package P and to quickly place the package P in the package bus 10 for return when he does not like the goods. The seller S can then quickly add this product back to his stock and offer it for sale to other potential customers, even when the product has not actually been returned to its warehouse.

In an embodiment, an example of which is shown in the figures, at least one of the package buses 10 can be provided with a digital video camera 28. Such a video camera 28 can be used for collecting evidence for the benefit of the buyer B. The buyer B the package P can be unpacked for the video camera 28. If some goods in the package P are missing or damaged during transport, this can be recorded with the video camera 28 at the time of unpacking the package P. This provides evidence of the fact that there were missing, or that the goods were already damaged when the package was first opened. The video material can be stored in a video memory of the packet bus controller 18 or can be directly uploaded to the computer server 20 for storage there.

In an embodiment, an example of which is shown in the figures, at least one of the parcel buses 10 can be provided with a screen 30 which is controlled by the parcel box controller 18.

Such a screen 30 can be used for all kinds of purposes. For example, messages can be placed on it by the owner / user of the package bus 10. It is also possible that third parties display notifications, such as advertising messages on the screen. For advertising, the user / owner or the administrator of the system may charge costs to cover the operation of the system. Also, for example, a housing association, a neighborhood association, a neighborhood association, a municipality or the like can use the screens on the package buses 10 in a neighborhood to distribute neighborhood-oriented notifications.

In an embodiment, an example of which is shown in the figures, packet bus control 18 may be configured to activate the display 30 when the proximity of a person is signaled.

Such an activation can for instance take place in that the package bus 10 is provided with a proximity sensor, which can detect the presence of a person or the movement of a person. In an alternative embodiment, it is also possible for a wireless receiver of the package box, such as, for example, a Bluetooth, Wi-Fi receiver, RFID or NFC, to detect that there is a mobile device, such as a smartphone or a tablet, in the vicinity of the package bus 10. appears. Such an observation by means of wireless communication or by means of a proximity sensor can be a reason for the package bus control 18 to switch on the screen 30 for displaying notifications.

In further elaboration of a system of which at least a number of packet buses are provided with a screen 30, the computer server 20 can be provided with a notification module 32 with a corresponding notification website page Wn that can be accessed via the worldwide web. The notification module 32 may be configured to send notifications N, such as, for example, advertisements or notifications from an instance, to the package bus controllers 18 of package buses 10 within a certain zip code, zip code or the like area. The relevant parcel bus controllers 18 can be configured to display these notifications N on the associated screens 30. With such a notification website page Wn, third parties can inform a specific neighborhood about all kinds of relevant and less relevant issues at will.

In further elaboration of this embodiment, the notification module 32 may also be arranged for compiling notifications N via the notification website page Wn. In addition, the notification module 32 may be configured to send the notification N to the parcel bus controllers 18 after a notifier has transferred a payment via the payment module 24 for distributing the notification N.

In an embodiment, an example of which is shown in the figures, the package bus control 18 of each package bus 10 may be connected, wirelessly or otherwise, to a network 34 connected to the worldwide web WWW.

Through this connection, the exchange of data between the packet bus controller 18 and, for example, the computer server 20 can be realized in a simple manner via existing means.

In an embodiment, an example of which is shown in the figures, at least one of the package buses 10 may be provided with a newspaper compartment 35 with a sensor 36 included therein and configured for detecting the presence or absence of a newspaper.

The package bus control 18 of the relevant package bus 10 may be connected to the sensor 36 and be configured to send a message Mn to the package bus manager 10 stating that a newspaper has been delivered. The owner / manager of the package bus 10 then never walks to his package bus 10 for nothing to see if the newspaper is already there. After all, if the newspaper is delivered, the owner / manager is warned by the message Mn.

In an embodiment, an example of which is shown in the figures, at least one of the parcel boxes 10 may be provided with a mail item compartment 38 with a sensor 40 included therein and configured for detecting the presence or absence of a mail item. The mail box 38 can be provided with a corresponding valve 39. The parcel bus control 18 of the relevant parcel box 10 can be connected to the said sensor 40 and is configured to send a message Mm to the manager of the parcel box 10, which means that a mail piece is worried. Such an item box 38 can be used for delivering the normal mail, such as letters, magazines and the like.

In an embodiment, an example of which is shown in the figures, at least one of the package buses 10 can be provided with a solar panel 44 and / or mini wind turbine and a battery 46. The package bus control 18 and the electronic lock can be electrically connected to the battery 46 and thereby powered.

Such an embodiment offers the advantage that the package bus 10 can function autonomously with regard to the energy supply. Therefore, no electricity connection for the parcel bus 10 needs to be provided because the required electricity is supplied by the solar cells and / or the mini wind turbine and the battery.

In an embodiment, an example of which is shown in the figures, the package canister 10 can be provided with at least one package bag 48 for placing large packages therein.

Such a package bag 48 can be used when the package bus space 12 is too small to store the package P.

The code reader can, for example, read a barcode, a Q-mark code or an RFID or NFC tag code. However, visual codes, such as, for example, a barcode or a Q-mark code, can also be read with the aid of a digital camera 28.

In an embodiment, an example of which is shown in the figures, at least one of the package buses 10 may be provided with heat insulation and an assembly 54 for controlling the temperature in the package space 12. For some packages P it may be important be that the package space 12 has a constant temperature. Perishable goods can be considered.

In an embodiment, an example of which is shown in the figures, at least one of the package buses 10 can be designed as a kit that can be assembled by an end user / afieer. A package bus 10 designed as a kit can generally be offered at a cheaper price, which can promote the speed of spread of the use of the package bus 10.

In one embodiment, the system may comprise an app for a mobile device, such as a tablet or smartphone, wherein the mobile device can be connected to the packet bus controller 18 with the aid of the app. device as an input device 52 for the packet bus 10. Instead of fixedly inserting an input device 52 on the package bus 10, use can be made of the user's own mobile device or a delivery person to operate the package bus 10. Operation is to be understood here to mean entering seller code Sc or entering buyer code Bc. A large part of the functionality of the package bus control 18 described above can be accommodated in the app. The part of the package bus control 18 that is actually accommodated in the package bus 10 can then be limited to a particularly simple control that is configured for communication with a mobile device and for operating the electronic lock 16. The package bus control 18 should then not be able to do much more than identifying and verifying that the mobile device is indeed from a person entitled to access the relevant packet bus 10 and exchanging signals on the basis of which the packet bus control 18 operates the electronic lock 16. The remaining functionality can be fully incorporated in the app and realized via communication between the mobile device on which the app runs and the computer server 20 of the system. Such a configuration has the advantage that the package bus control 18 can be of simple design and can therefore also be carried out at relatively low costs.

The invention also relates to a parcel bus 10 suitable and intended for a system according to the invention as described in the most general terms or according to one of the embodiments described above.

The various embodiments described above can be applied independently of each other and combined with each other in different ways. The reference numerals in the detailed description and the claims do not limit the description of the embodiments and the claims and serve only for clarification.
