By using the keypad 48 as described above, the locker 100 can be opened and closed without having a key for opening the locking member. Accordingly, the locker 100 may be used by an unspecified number of users, and the bidirectional locking member 42 may be used to be managed by an administrator of the locker 100. However, the present invention is not limited thereto and various modifications are possible.

As described above, the locking device 40 according to the present embodiment can be locked and unlocked by an administrator having a key through a key, and the user who uses the locker 100 by inputting a password. Locking and unlocking can be controlled. In addition, the locking device 40 may be controlled to be locked and released by the central control server 230 of the goods delivery system 200 or in consideration of information transmitted from the central control server 230. To this end, the locker 100 may include a lock control unit (reference numeral 222 of FIG. 10, the same below) for controlling the lock device 40 of the locker under control from the central control server 230. This will be described in more detail later with reference to the article delivery system 200 with reference to FIGS. 10 and 11.

It will be described in detail to manage the locker 100 as described above using a key.

When the first key 60a is inserted, as shown in FIG. 7A, the blocking protrusions 434 of the second and

third wafers

430b and 430c move into the plug 420, and the first key 60a is moved into the plug 420. Only the blocking projection 434 of one wafer 430a passes through the through-hole 422 to be in a protruding state. In this state, when the first key 60a is rotated in the first direction (for example, the right direction), the blocking protrusion 434 of the first wafer 430a is the first as shown in Fig. 8A. It moves along the rotation path of the groove part 412b. At this time, since the first groove portion 412b extends only in the path corresponding to the first direction, it does not extend in the path corresponding to the second direction and thus cannot rotate in the second direction.

As a result, when the plug 420 is rotated in the first direction, the first operating part 44 moves to the second part 442b along the guide member 446 of the driving part 440 to thereby move the first operating part 44. After the retreat, the fixing projection 44a of the first operating portion 44 is separated from the catching groove 34a of the advertising board 30. As a result, the advertisement board 30 may be installed or separated.

On the other hand, when the second key 60b is inserted, as shown in FIG. 7B, the blocking protrusions 434 of the first and

third wafers

430a and 430c move into the plug 420. Only the blocking projection 434 of the second wafer 430b passes through the through hole 422 to protrude. In this state, when the second key 60b is rotated in the second direction (for example, the left direction), the blocking protrusion 434 of the second wafer 430b is the second as shown in FIG. It moves along the rotation path of the groove part 412c. At this time, since the second groove portion 412c only extends in the path corresponding to the second direction, the second groove 412c does not extend in the path corresponding to the first direction and thus cannot rotate in the first direction.

As a result, when the plug 420 is rotated in the second direction, the protrusion 444 of the driving unit 440 pushes the locking portion 46b of the locking member 46a to move the locking member 46a into the housing 50. Let's do it. This allows the door of the locker 100 to be opened.

If a key is not inserted or a key other than the first and

second keys

60a and 60b is inserted, the blocking protrusion 434 of the wafer 430 protrudes out through the through hole 422 of the plug 420. . As a result, the blocking protrusion 434 is fixed to the main groove 412a, and movement in the first and second directions is blocked.

According to the present embodiment, when the billboard 30 is fixed to the frame 20 or the locker 100 by the locking device 40, the the billboard 30 may be prevented from being stolen, lost or damaged. When the locking device 40 is released, the billboard 30 may be easily removed and replaced from the frame 20 or the locker 100. And by the locking device 40 can easily perform the opening and closing operation of the locker 100.

In this case, when the frame 20 is used to fix the billboard 30, the billboard 30 may be more firmly fixed, and the billboard 30 may be more stably protected. And the appearance of the locker 100 by the billboard 30 can be greatly improved.

In addition, the locking device 40 may include a bidirectional locking member 42 to smoothly perform the fixing and detaching operation of the billboard 30 and the opening and closing operation of the locker 100 by a simple structure. At this time, by controlling the movement in the first and second directions by the structure, shape, etc. of the wafer 340 and the outer cylinder 310, the structure can be simplified and the volume can be minimized.

In the above-described embodiment, but having the frame 20 is illustrated, it is also possible that the present invention does not have a frame 20. Although the bidirectional locking member 42 of the present embodiment is illustrated as being applied to the locker 100, the bidirectional locking member 42 and the locking device 40 including the same are applied to various devices other than the locker 100.

The warning information or the information related to the additional charge may be transmitted to the recipient's terminal 212 through the text transmission / reception unit 232. In addition, the central controller 232 may check whether the additional charge of the locker 100 has been paid.

If there is a fee required for using the locker 100, the central control server 230 may generate information related to the fee and information related to payment and transmit the generated information to the receiver terminal 212. In this case, when there is a free use condition, the central control unit 232 may generate charge information and / or payment information and information related to the free use condition and transmit the generated information to the recipient's terminal 212 through the text transmission / reception unit 234. have.

In addition, the central control server 230 may generate advertisement information transmitted when the local locker 100a is used or information indicating that there is an advertisement, and transmit the generated information to the recipient terminal 212 as a text.

According to the goods delivery system 200 according to the present embodiment, the courier may store the courier items in the locker 100 using the first password, and the recipient uses a second password different from the first password. You can find a courier. This allows the courier to be stored even when the recipient is not at the receiving location and can be easily found at the time the recipient wants. In addition, since the second password is not known to the courier, it is possible to secure the safety of the article storage.

The recipient's telephone number can be obtained so that the user can be contacted or necessary legal action can be taken if the basic period of storage of the goods is exceeded. In addition, the recipient may be contacted when the item has to be moved to another location after long periods of inactivity. In addition, since there is no separate key, the locker 100 can be easily used even when the person entrusting the goods and the person looking for the goods are different. In addition, since the password remains in the recipient's terminal 212, there is less concern about the loss of the password. In addition, when the locker 100 is opened, the recipient is notified so that when the locker is opened by a person other than the user, the recipient is notified of theft. Accordingly, it is possible to safely store the parcel delivery items stored in the locker. In addition, it may have a marketing effect by sending advertising text, phrases, etc. to the recipient terminal 212 together.

As described above, the article delivery system and the article delivery method, which are preferred embodiments of the present invention, are applicable to other and other embodiments of the present invention, which will be described later, and the same applicable structures and methods are given the same reference numerals. Explanation was made.

Hereinafter, another embodiment of the present invention will be described.

12 is a view illustrating an article delivery system according to another exemplary embodiment of the present invention, and FIGS. 13 to 17 are explanatory diagrams illustrating detailed components of each step. 19 is a flowchart illustrating a locker management method according to another embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 20 is a block diagram showing a goods delivery system according to another embodiment of the present invention.

Accordingly, the goods delivery system includes a local locker 100a and a central control server 230.

The local locker 100a includes a respective locker 100, a lock device 40 having a keypad 48, and a repeater 224, and the central control server 230 includes a text transmission / reception unit 234 and a central control unit ( 232, the control information transmission and reception unit 236.

The central control server 230 receives the usage information and the control information from the local locker repeater 224, and performs a control function according to the usage information and the control information.

The goods forwarder selects the locker 100, which is indicated as usable by the indicating member 1110, from the local locker 100a, opens the door part of the locker 100, stores the goods, and uses the keypad 48 to receive the goods. Enter your phone number. At this time, it is preferable to input the same number twice in order to prevent mis-entry of the telephone number.

The input telephone number is transmitted to the central control server 230 through the repeater 224, the central control server 230 generates a password of the locker 100, the article to the mobile terminal (210, 212) of the recipient of the goods Pass the password to open the storage room and locker door. In this case, a text service using a mobile terminal may be preferably used.

The goods forwarder may notify the recipient of the goods by simply operating the keypad 48 of the locker 100 without working with his mobile terminal.

The goods receiver may receive the goods by opening the locker door part by inputting the received password to the keypad 48 of the locker 100.

As shown in FIG. 14, the product delivery person preferably passes through a delivery authentication process in order to prevent delivery by accident or mischief. The item forwarder authentication is a one-time authentication to generate an authentication code. At this time, the person who delivers the goods can enter his / her own verification code when entering the recipient's phone number. The article forwarder first sends an authentication text to the locker use application telephone number 1661-8513 connected to the central control server 230. The central control server 230 then sends an authentication confirmation character (3749) to the telephone number (010-7777-8888) of the sender's mobile terminal. Next, the article forwarder finishes authentication of the article forwarder by inputting the received authentication confirmation code (3749) to the keypad 48 of the locker. In this case, the person who delivers the goods may be configured to enable the user authentication only by inputting the user's phone number and the authentication confirmation code 3959 together on the keypad 48 of the locker. In addition, if the delivery person is a courier article, because the use of the locker is made frequently, it is also possible to change the authentication confirmation code number to use. If you want to change the authentication confirmation number in the locker application telephone number (1661-8513) to enter the authentication confirmation number (7890) to be changed along with the authentication confirmation code (3749) and transmits to the central control server (230). Next, the central control server 230 transmits the changed authentication confirmation number 7790 to the goods transferer's mobile terminal, and stores the changed authentication confirmation number 7790 in the database.

Likewise, as shown in FIG. 16, it is preferable that the goods recipient also undergoes a registration process. Recipients who mainly use the locker may receive a registration confirmation number 3749 instead of a phone number and use it instead of a phone number (010-1234-5678). The goods recipient first sends the locker use application number 1661-8513 connected to the central control server 230 to the locker by sending the unique number 338 in text. The central control server 230 then sends the registration confirmation number 3749 to the telephone number (010-1234-5678) of the recipient's mobile terminal. Next, the article recipient sends a reply confirming receipt of the registration confirmation number 3749 to complete the registration process. The central control server 230 stores the recipient's mobile terminal number (010-1234-5678) registered in the list which is the numerical value of the locker together with the unique number 338 of the locker.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 15, the consignee confirmation process in which the commodity delivery process is performed only when the commodity payee list using the commodity locker 100 is registered in the central control server 230 in order to prevent an accident in the morning of the commodity, etc. It may include.

That is, when the payee option is selected in the storage box, the recipient's mobile terminal telephone number (010-1234-5678) is not registered in the central control server 230 of the locker 100, or the central control of the locker 100 is performed. If it is registered in the server 230 but is set to refuse to receive the goods delivery process is not in progress.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 17, the recipient of the article may select whether to receive the article. When the goods delivery information is delivered, the goods recipient may transmit the receipt to the central control server 230 by returning a code corresponding to the numerical approval, the opposite of the receipt. That is, the goods recipient first sends the locker application phone number 1661-8513 connected to the central control server 230 to the locker's unique number 338 in text. The central control server 230 then sends the receipt selection to the recipient's mobile terminal number as a guide letter. For example, the received receipt selection guide letter selects any one of 'acceptance', '2', and '3' of rejection of receipt, and returns to the central control server 230. The central control server 230 sets the receiving state by storing the receiving option returned from the payee. If the payee is not registered in the central control server 230, the payee information should be preferentially registered in the central control server 230 as described above with reference to FIG. 16.

It may be configured to send a password to open the locker after confirmation.

Next, when the password of the locker 100 received by the recipient's mobile terminal is input to the keypad 48, the locker is opened and an open step S8 of receiving goods is performed.

If the recipient purchases the goods from another logistics system (home shopping, parcel delivery) before the input step (S3), the purchaser selects the locker 100 installed in the desired area in the logistics system while purchasing the goods. Proceed to step S1. Next, the central control unit 232 performs the information delivery step (S2) for receiving the goods delivery information and goods code from the logistics system. At this time, in the input step (S3) enters the goods code in place of the recipient's telephone number on the keypad 48, in the generation step (S5) the central control server 23 to the goods delivery information obtained in the information delivery step (S2) The telephone number of the recipient of the included goods may be selected and used.

When performing an interlocking service with another logistics system such as a shopping mall, an article code (or another password or random number code) input from the keypad 48 is communicated with the central control server 230, and the central control server 230 Compared with the article code stored in the article forwarder is configured to be able to open the locker (100). That is, random goods codes are generated by random number codes when the goods delivery information is generated, and the goods delivery information is delivered to the central control server 230 in real time or periodically, or is stored in a logistics information database of another logistics system through a predetermined route. You can also access and get information. When the goods sender inputs the goods code issued to the keypad 48, the local control means 220 communicates with the central control server 230 to indicate whether to open or close. The purchaser information of the payee stored in the central control server 230 may be transmitted via SMS, or a new password may be generated and transmitted to the local control unit 220 and stored.

The emergency password storage step (S4) described above is to generate and use an emergency number in the goods delivery system when the goods forwarder uses (kiosk method, recipient telephone number input method, article code input method). This is to store and use the emergency password consisting of a separate random number so that the goods forwarder or the user who stores the item in the locker for the first time in an emergency such as a state in which communication is impossible or the power is cut off. If the emergency password is generated after the generation step (S5) and the transmission step (S5) is received and stored a new password, the previously entered emergency password is automatically canceled, it operates to open the locker by the new password.

Payment of the fee for using the locker may utilize a micropayment system of a mobile terminal using SMS. This is a postpaid payment system that allows users to easily pay using SMS short messages for users who store goods in lockers using the recipient's phone number. In other words, upon receipt of the recipient's confirmation number (resident number, etc.) in an SMS short message, the mobile terminal can perform a small payment authorization, and after confirming that the payment is completed in the central control server 230, the password is received by the recipient's mobile terminal. To be able to open the locker.
