detailed description

The inventions set forth in the present disclosure will be fully understood from the following description of the embodiments of the present invention, which can be practiced by those skilled in the art. However, the implementation of the present invention is not limited by the following embodiments. Other embodiments may be devised by those skilled in the art in the light of the embodiments disclosed herein.

In order to overcome the problem in the prior art that the general public is unwilling to use the unknown source object and the substantial incentive cost is not obtained, the present invention first provides a reusable object 100 as shown in FIG. 1, and the reusable object 100 includes the object body 110. And an information medium 120. The object body 110 can be any reusable container including a cup, a lunch box, a dinner plate, a battery, etc., and the object body 110 can be fabricated into containers having different specifications, such as different capacities, heights, widths, shapes, and the like. The reusable object 100 can be sold by different stores and different brands, but the quality of all reusable objects 100 conforms to certain specifications, including one of a plurality of specific specifications, and is suitable for reuse after cleaning. . The reusable object 100 of a quality conforming to a certain specification can be obtained by a program such as authentication, and stored in the information medium 120 to form a reusable object 100. Is part of the information from a reliable source. The information medium 120 is disposed at any position on the object body 110. The information medium 120 may include a barcode for providing first information and an electronic label for providing second information, wherein the barcode is a two-dimensional barcode, preferably a quick response. QR code, the electronic tag is a radio frequency identification tag (RFID), and the electronic tag can erase various information related to the reusable object 100, such as the above identifier, and information such as the specification of the object body 110. For the user, it is necessary to be able to use the reusable object 100 with confidence. More importantly, it is possible to confirm that the cleaning process is reliable enough to make him feel comfortable using it. The first information allows the user to confirm that the object body 110 is reliable in this sense. source. For example, at that time and most local users may be accustomed to carry portable electronic devices (such as Internet camera phones), and the reusable object 100 is cleaned in a manner suitable for cleaning, when the user reads the barcode using the handheld electronic device. Directly linked to the cloud, the cloud provides a film that the reusable object 100 is cleaned and inspected before use, allowing the user to know that the reusable object 100 used is safely cleaned and inspected, and is used in this manner. It is confirmed that the object body 110 is from a reliable source. The second information is used to confirm that the reciprocal incentive cost can be issued, exclude the counterfeiter for the purpose of defrauding the reciprocal incentive cost, and the information such as the identifier allows the object body 110 to be proved to be from a reliable source. The second information can be combined with the first information. For example, when the reusable object 100 is in cleaning and inspection, the film can continuously capture the process of cleaning and inspection of different reusable objects 100 when the user uses the handheld electronic device to link. The film of the cleaning and inspection process specific to the particular reusable object 100 corresponding to the identifier is automatically selected based on the identifier provided by the electronic tag. In the above embodiment, the user's handheld electronic device may not have the electronic tag reading function, but the electronic tag has many excellent functions, such as the general public is not easy to copy, the information transmission has no directional requirements, and the information can be read and written in both directions. It can quickly and extensively read and write, and improve overall management efficiency, while barcodes are easy to copy, so the designer chooses to make the information medium contain two parts. In another embodiment, the representations or contents of the first information and the second information are the same. For a simple example, when the user's mobile phone generally has an electronic tag reading function, the information medium may have only one part. Is the electronic label, and the electronic label is not the only possible technology. Therefore, the information medium 120 may have different options depending on factors such as time, place, and technological development.

In short, the primary target reader of the first information is the user, so the implementation of the present invention will take into account the convenience of the current and local users to read the first information. The main target reader of the second information is the collection device of the object. Preferably, the collection device has a networking function, so the information medium may have two parts, each of which is read for the main target of the first and second information. Design. If the information medium contains two parts, the two parts may be placed at different positions on the object body, for example, the barcode may be disposed on the side of the object body, so that the user can easily see and read using the handheld electronic device, and the electronic label May be placed at the bottom of the object body. In order to prevent the deliberate cost of deliberate fraud, the user retrieves the reusable incentive cost of the reusable object, and the information of the object can be transmitted to the management end in real time to avoid having the object information before reuse. The object is re-used to encourage the price. In one embodiment, the electronic tag is for reading by an electronic tag reader in the collection device, and then the identification device recognizes the object to recover the object.

The first information has different contents depending on the characteristics of the object. In one embodiment, the object is an electric vehicle battery, and the battery charging station provides a fully charged battery. When the power of the electric vehicle battery is too low, the charging station is switched to the charging station and replaced with a full charge. Use the battery to get on the road again. In one embodiment, the first information may include information such as a driver's driving style. We can also imagine that there are many kinds of reusable objects, each of which is designed according to its characteristics.

The present invention further provides a collection device 200 for recycling objects, as shown in FIG. The recycling device 200 of the present invention is used to collect a reusable object 100 (not shown) and, after recycling the reusable object 100, return the reuse incentive fee to the holder. Regardless of whether the holder is a user of the reusable object 100, the object of returning the reuse incentive may be subject to the holder. After the holder has used the reusable object 100, the used reusable object 100 is taken to the collection device 200 for recycling, and the used reusable object 100 becomes the object to be reused. The collecting device 200 shown in FIG. 2 includes an identification module 210, a recycling mechanism 220, a networking module 230, and a display device 240, wherein the identification module 210, the recycling mechanism 220, and the networking module 230 are connected to each other to exchange information, and both can be transmitted.

The recycling mechanism 220 is configured to recover the object to be reused when the system to be reused is from a specific source, and return the reuse incentive fee to the holder. The electronic tag reader/writer can also read the information of the specification of the object to be reused in the electronic tag and provide it to the recycling mechanism 220, so that the recycling mechanism 220 can use the information to classify the object to be reused.

In order to recover the object to be reused, the recycling mechanism 220 needs to have a way of receiving the object to be reused externally, and the end of the way to contact with the outside may include a valve, and when it is confirmed that the system to be reused is from a specific source, the valve is opened. In one embodiment, the valve has an opening, the shape of the opening conforming to the contour of the object to be reused, for example, in the embodiment where the object to be reused is a cup, the cup is wide and narrow, and the shape of the valve opening of the collecting device is also The width is different from upper to lower. The collection device 200 also includes a pattern indicating the directionality when the object to be reused is placed. The valve may be designed as part of the recovery mechanism 220, or it may be provided separately on the outer surface of the collection device 200 and connected to the recovery mechanism 220 via a means for receiving the object to be reused.

In the embodiment in which the object to be reused is a cup, there may be residual liquid in the cup, and it may not be convenient to remove the residual liquid at the place where the collecting device is disposed, so that the cup to be reused may be designed to be placed in the liquid to accommodate the residual liquid. The container is transported, and the expected value of the total amount of residual liquid corresponding to the recovery of a certain number of cups is determined by statistical analysis, and the removal container is removed before the total amount of residual liquid reaches the capacity of the cleaning container to accommodate the residual liquid.

The recycling mechanism 220 generally includes a sorting device for classifying the size of the object to be reused. In one embodiment, the objects to be reused are stacked and classified according to their size. Those of ordinary skill in the art to which the present invention pertains have sufficient capabilities to design stacking and sorting devices in accordance with the characteristics of the objects to be reused, such as by automatic control, in various embodiments described in this specification. In addition, some factors that may be considered in actual design are also mentioned. The sorting device may also be designed outside the recycling mechanism 220, connected to the recycling mechanism 220 for the recycling mechanism 220 to complete the recycling, or the recycling mechanism 220 may notify the sorting device to recover after confirming that the system to be reused is from a specific source, and the sorting device Transfer information to recycling agency 220 for recycling only after recycling is completed The institution 220 will reuse the incentive to return the holder.

In one embodiment, the collecting device 200 collects a plurality of sizes of objects to be reused, for example, the object to be reused is a cup, and the size of the cup has four sizes, corresponding to four capacities, and the cup can also be used. The sizes are available in two sizes and still correspond to these four capacities.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, the collection device 200 further includes a networking module 230 that can be linked to the management terminal 260 and the clearing terminal 270 via the network 250. In the above embodiment, the collecting device 200 further includes a display device 240 that displays information related to the object to be reused that the holder has taken back. The number of objects to be recycled that have been recycled is transmitted to the clearing end 270 via the network 250 in real time, and when the number reaches a preset value, it is cleared by the clearing end 270. In one embodiment, after the holder retrieves the reuse incentive cost, the information of the object to be reused is transmitted to the management terminal 260 in real time to avoid the object having the information of the object to be reused before being reused. Issue the incentive to reuse.

In one embodiment, the related information of the object to be recycled collected by the holder includes: whether all the objects to be reused recovered by the holder are from a specific source; if yes, the size, quantity and Reuse the value of the incentive to pay. In one embodiment, the information medium is an electronic tag, and the collecting device 200 further includes an electronic tag reader. After the object to be reused is recovered, the recycling mechanism 220 transmits the first information to the electronic tag reader/writer, and the electronic tag reader/writer After the first information, the incentive price will be repeatedly written into the holder's e-wallet, and the incentive cost will be reused as the amount, e-voucher, electronic coupon, electronic coupon, electronic credit, electronic lottery ticket, electronic lottery certificate, etc. Wait. In one embodiment, after the object to be recycled is recovered, the recycling mechanism transmits the second information to the management terminal 260, causing the management terminal 260 to perform the action payment, and returning the reuse incentive fee to the holder.

The present invention further provides a method of recycling an object, the flow chart of which is shown in FIG. When the holder returns the object to be reused (step 310), it is identified whether the object to be reused is from a particular source (step 320). If the result of the discrimination in step 320 is "NO", the object cannot be reused, so it is stopped (step 330). If the result of the discrimination in step 320 is "YES", the object to be reused is recovered, and the reuse benefit is returned to the holder (step 340). The object to be reused is then cleaned until the user can confirm the extent to which the object body is from a reliable source, and cleanup information is provided in the cloud to link to the cleanup information using the information medium (step 350). The cleaned object to be reused can then be provided to the user for reuse.
