Delivery device, delivery system and method for the delivery of shipments

The invention relates to a delivery device and a delivery system for the delivery of broadcasts with protected intermediate storage of a shipment. The invention further relates to a method for the delivery of broadcasts comprising an adjusting device as well as a corresponding delivery system.

The increasing number of goods that are sent by post and logistics companies worldwide, goes hand in hand with an increase in the demands on manufacturers and / or suppliers regarding the delivery time and quality of the goods. An important point is the protection of the goods against damage and unauthorized access during transport.

The increasing amount of goods that are delivered to private individuals may also require a security of the goods for the delivery process, ie the period after the goods have been handed over to a logistician, during transport, up to the personal receipt of the goods by the recipient do. This is especially necessary if the recipient is not present in person to receive a consignment.

In order to be reliant on postal or logistics companies for the delivery of goods, shipments are also increasingly delivered by private individuals in order to cope with the increasing number of deliveries to be delivered.

Analogous to a mailbox, the skilled person today a variety of re-closable mailbox systems are known in which temporarily a goods to be delivered can be stored until the recipient removes them from this mailbox system. However, the training as a lock or mailbox is very costly to buy and requires considerable space often not otherwise usable. Furthermore, such a central mailbox system is usually only visited by a logistics provider if the recipient was not present at the time of delivery. In order to avoid this additional, unwanted expense of the recipient, the person skilled in the art today known concepts which, in the absence of the recipient suc ing, delivery via a mounted on the delivery address storage container he possible. By way of example, DE 10050543 A1 can be considered, from which a delivery system emerges, in which the goods are delivered in a container and deposited with the customer at the container, the container being secured against unauthorized removal. A part of a closing device is fastened in this example with a chain to a house wall.

Instead of a container in which a consignment is stored, variable and / or flexible systems are known from the state of the art in order to protect a consignment from unauthorized removal, whereby consignments of different sizes or geometries can be reliably delivered. For example, WO 2013049063 A1 discloses a secure dispensing device which has a tamper evident pouch, a closure mechanism disposed on the pouch, a locking cable passing through the closure mechanism and a support on a building structure. The safety rope is hereby adapted to connect the bag with the holder to secure the bag to the solid building structure. The bag can be made of a form flexible, reinforced material.

Furthermore, the skilled person delivery systems are known, wherein flexible materials such as ropes, cables or cords are used to fix a shipment to a building structure, such as egg nem letter slot. An example of this is the GB 2424919 A, from which a device for fastening a container emerges, comprising a length of a flexible material, which is attached at one end to the container. The flexible material is passed through an opening, such as a letter slot, with a Sicherungsvorrich device may be provided with spring-biased legs on the flexible material as a removal safeguard.

The object of the present invention was to overcomes the disadvantages of the prior art and an improved delivery device, a delivery system, and a method for the delivery of shipments with high security and flexibility in terms of shipment size, or geometry or the To create delivery location. This object is achieved by an apparatus and a method according to the claims.

The invention relates to a delivery device for the delivery of items, example, goods or documents by a deliverer or transporter to a receiver with protected intermediate storage of a shipment. At least one shipment includes at least one securing element, which is designed for strapping the shipment in at least two spatial directions and at least one closure device which is formed for Ver close the at least one securing element and arranged on the shipment or the fuse element or trained, or between the Consignment and the securing element trained passage opening. Furthermore, the Zustellvor device comprises at least one attached to a substrate or attachable Andockvorrich device and at least one formflexibles attachment means for coupling the shipment to the docking device, which fastening means for passing through the Hindurch orifice is designed or dimensioned. The locking device is characterized marked records that the docking device comprises at least one electronically unlockable Schließvor direction, and that the at least one fastening means insertable in the closing Vorrich and lockable by means of the locking device locking element, such as a locking pin, pin or hook, wherein an electronic unlocking s device for the at least one closing device is assigned an input means for an unlocking code and / or an unlocking signal receiving unit, and the unlocking s ago direction for unlocking the blocking element in the case of obtaining a valid unlocking insurance code and / or valid unlocking signal is trained.

With the invention to adjusting device can thus be connected at least temporarily a shipment with a docking device provided for this purpose or ge coupled in a simple manner. The feed-through opening on the mail item or securing element is preferably designed as an eye, loop, tab or the like, in such a way that it can be hooked into a docking device with the aid of the form-flexible attachment means. By strapping the shipment with the security element, at least zeitweili ger protection against unauthorized removal is guaranteed. The inventive approach of this delivery device allows both the manufacturer of a product, the distributor, Lo- gistikpartner or the deliverer Kings the consignment with the security element Kings NEN. In this way, it is possible that when ordering the goods already at Her manufacturer, or even at the logistics partner or deliverer is provided with the securing element and the goods are protected for the delivery process. As a deliverer can also act a private person. The securing element according to the invention is thus also suitable for securing the goods in or at a transport position, for example in a delivery van, or even at a storage position, for example an intermediate storage or logistics center, against unauthorized removal and / or transport damage.

To a docking device, which can be attached to a private or public Ge building structure, for example, a deliverer, the shipment simply by attaching the fastener through the Hindurchführöffnung attach. In this way, it can be waived to personally meet a recipient of a product, since the shipment is protected by the strapping with the fuse element at least for a period of time against unauthorized removal and the shipment can be safely attached to the formflexib len attachment means to the docking device.

In the case of public building structures, it may be premature to deal with inner or outer areas of frequently frequented places such as supermarkets, shopping centers or petrol stations.

An electronically locked and unlocked closing device of the docking device can be opened at only by a legitimate deliverer, with the deliverer identify by means of an unlock code or an unlocking signal or a legitimation request must settle. Thus, it can be ensured that a shipment is delivered to a Andockvorrich device only by an authorized deliverer and that the jewei time docking device is also provided for the particular shipment. Preferably, a radio and / or mobile phone control is provided, which allow by suitable encryption opening and closing of the closing mechanism by the deliverer and the right to take-entitled recipient. Alternatively, the locking mechanism may also be designed as a simple mechanical cylinder, latch or padlock or consist of a combination of electrical and mechanical locking mechanism niche.

Furthermore, it may be expedient if an end portion of the at least one fastening supply means is fixedly connected to the docking device.

In order to create an easy-to-handle overall system, advantageously one end of the fastening means is fixedly connected to the docking device and thus secured against loss or theft. Alternatively, it may also be advantageous if a mobile fastening means is carried by the deliverer or is fixedly connected to the consignment in order to increase the flexibility in terms of size and weight of different shipments. It is also conceivable that the formflexible fastener is used instead of the Sicherungsele element for strapping the shipment and is chert with the closure device gesi to prevent unauthorized removal of the shipment.

Furthermore, it can be provided that at least one electronically readable or scannable, unambiguous identifier is arranged on or in the docking devices.

The identifier is advantageously designed as a machine-readable code or machine-bare identifier to be able to read this advantageously with portable, mobile scanning or reading devices. For example, a one-dimensional code, such as barcode or barcode, a two-dimensional code, such as QR code, DataMatrix or Atztec code, or a three-dimensional code, such as a high-capacity color barcode, may be provided to ensure information security. Such codes can not only be scanned with readers specially provided for them, but the advantage is that they can be read out with any mobile handheld devices which have a camera, such as smartphones, PDAs or tablet computers.

In addition, it can be provided that an electronically readable or scannable identifier is arranged on or in the item or the security element of the item. On the one hand to provide an assignment of the shipment to the docking device, or to check whether a shipment may actually be submitted to the docking device, it is advantageous also to attach a machine-readable single- or multi-dimensional code on the shipment. Such a check can be made to the effect whether for example the docking device has already been reserved for the delivery of the shipment, whether the docking device for weight, or content or size of the shipment is suitable or if the docking device is in the catchment area of the recipient of the shipment. The code on the program can advantageously contain information about the content of the program per se be. Conceivable here are, for example, type of goods, value of goods or expiry date of the goods.

Also advantageous is an expression, according to which it may be provided that the hedging element and / or the closure device and / or the fastening means are at least partially electrically conductive and keitssensor with an element in or on the Sicherungsele or the closure device or the fastener arranged conductivity connected to detect a change in conductivity.

The conductivity of the fuse element and / or the closure device and / or the fastening means can be carried out by the choice of an electrically conductive material, or also by embedding of electrically conductive fibers within the components Runaway leads. By opening and / or damaging at least one of said components of the fuse element, a change in conductivity occurs, which can be detected by the conductivity sensor. The conductivity sensor may also be equipped with a micropro zessoreinheit, which also allows detection of the timing of the conductivity keitsänderung. Further, the conductivity sensor may also include an integrated and / or separate GPS transceiver connected to the microprocessor unit. Thus, the position of the security delivery device is detectable in the event of a change in conductivity, and can be used, for example, to enable tracking of the goods during the entire delivery process. The conductivity sensor can be designed to Signali tion of a change in conductivity to the control system. The detection of a change in conductivity can also be used to initiate predefinable measures. Such measures may be, for example, an optical and / or audible warning signal, or may include an acknowledgment signal, such as the transmission of an electronic message to the receiver and / or the logistician. It can thus be provided that at least one optical and / or acoustic and / or electromagnetic cal waves transmitting signal means is connected to the conductivity sensor.

The signaling means can also be connected to the microprocessor unit and optionally enable a transmitting and / or receiving device for the exchange of data with the receiver and / or the logistics provider. As signal means are thus, preferably as LED or OLED trained, optical filament in question. It is also possible that the signal means comprises a loudspeaker which emits a warning tone as soon as a conductivity change is detected. In addition, as electromagnetic waves, all forms of signals commonly used today for wireless data transmission, preferably radio signals understood. As a result, a wireless transmission ei nes signal, such as a warning message, from the security to adjusting device to the Emp catcher and / or the deliverer can be easily sent. The formation of such a signal means can significantly increase the security during the delivery process against unauthorized opening or removal. In addition, it allows the tracking of the goods for the purpose of ver improved traceability in case of damaged and / or lost goods. This will enable the logistician and / or the consignee or even an insurance company, on the basis of the recorded data of the signal means, to investigate the cause of a faulty delivery process and to initiate appropriate countermeasures. For example, the time of the deposit or delivery of the goods or the delivery position can thus be easily detected in a simple manner.

Optionally, in addition to or as an alternative to the transmission of a signal, it may be provided that an image is taken by a surveillance camera and transmitted to the recipient and / or deliverer.

The invention further relates to a delivery system for the delivery of items, example, goods or documents by a deliverer or transporter to a recipient with protected intermediate storage of a consignment comprising a plurality of inventive to adjusting devices, wherein the delivery system comprises a control system with at least one data storage.

Advantageously, the control system is a computer-implemented system with which it is possible to organize multiple actuators. In this case, relevant information about the individual Zu Stellvorrichtungen can be mapped in the data memory, such as unique identification codes of the delivery devices, locations of the same and status information, whether the individual delivery devices are occupied or not. Furthermore, relevant information on individual items can be stored in the data store.

According to a development, it is possible that the control system for registration and management of both docking devices with free use authorization and from docking devices with limited or personal use authorization is formed from.

The individual docking devices may be docking devices which are reserved, for example, for certain postal or logistics companies, or also those which are generally accessible to anyone, including private individuals. The type of usage authorization is shown here in the control system and is organized via this. Thus, for example, a logistics company may reserve a plurality of docking devices at a beneficiary location, for example, with very good traffic availability, in order to provide increased convenience to its customers in picking up shipments. The reservation of docking facilities at easily accessible locations can also increase the efficiency of the delivery of the respective postal or logistics company.

Furthermore, it may be expedient if the control system comprises a registration module for the registration of authorized users of the delivery system, whereby users are registered as receivers and / or deliverers. In order to be able to carry out an authorization check as to whether a user is allowed to deliver or pick up a shipment at a delivery system, it is advantageous if users register in advance via the registration module. In this case, it may be advantageous if users also provide contact data such as mobile telephone number or e-mail address in order to be able to make an understanding of the same. For example, it may be provided here that a recipient is imformed directly on the delivery of a shipment to a docking device and receives a message containing the location of the docking device and an unlock code. Furthermore, it is conceivable that registered deliverers receive a message after the mobile phone number is notified that a recipient has picked up a message or that a docking device is free for a new delivery procedure. A notification may also be sent to a deliverer if an unlawful take of a consignment occurs.

In addition, it can be provided that the control system for registering private users is designed as a legitimate delivery agent.

Hereby, with the registration module according to the invention also the possibility that a private person registered as a delivery agent and assigned a docking device with free slot authorization authorization to deliver there shipments.

On this basis, the control system can record and log deliveries and states of the docking devices. Detection and tracking of shipments or returns in relation to the state of the docking device can be depicted in this case in the control system. The docking devices can each have a micro-processor for this purpose.

In particular, it may be advantageous if the control system comprises a functional state monitoring module for monitoring a functional state of the docking devices.

Advantageously, functional states of the individual docking devices are monitored and logged in the control system. This can be ensured that, for example, a deliverer is informed that a docking station assigned to him is inoperative because, for example, a defect exists.

Furthermore, it can be provided that the functional state monitoring module is designed to monitor an electrical fade of the docking devices.

Advantageously, the docking device has a fade condition monitoring, for example by detecting fade status signals or periodically polling the fade state. A docking device here advantageously has an autonomous power supply unit such as a battery or an accumulator. A deliverer or a service technician can be informed in a timely manner with the fade state monitoring according to the invention about exchanging a battery or charging an accumulator in order to ensure the functional capability of the docking device.

Alternatively to the power supply with a battery or an accumulator can also be seen before that the docking device is an autonomous power supply unit, example, on solar power has.

In addition, it can be provided that the delivery system communication devices with egg ner identifier detection device and a local or global positioning Unit, and / or docking devices with a local or global Positionsbestim tion unit comprises.

By providing a positioning unit on the docking devices, or by the standard integration of positioning units on modern communication devices such as smartphones, PDAs or tablet computers, he can also offer location-based services with he inventive delivery system.

Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for the delivery of shipments, example, goods or documents, by a deliverer to a receiver with protected temporary storage of shipments, comprising a registration of attached to a substrate, provided for temporary storage of the shipment docking devices in a control system with at least a data storage, securing a shipment with a securing element, which is designed for strapping the shipment in at least two spatial directions and closing the at least one securing element by means of a United circuiting device. The delivery of the shipment to a docking device comprises the following process steps:

- Attaching the shipment to the docking device by passing a formed on a fastener or arranged locking element, such as a locking pin, - pin or hook, arranged by a arranged on the shipment or the fuse element or trained, or formed between the shipment and the securing element Hindurchöffnung .

Inserting and locking the blocking element into an electronically unlockable closing device formed or arranged on the docking device,

Furthermore, the inventive method for the delivery of broadcasts from the collection of the program by unlocking the locking element by means of an electronic unlocking s device for the closing device by input of an unlocking code to egg nem the electronic unlocking s device associated input means and / or by transmitting a Entriegelungs signals to one of the electronic release s device for the closing device associated Entriegelungssignal receiving unit. Advantageously, in this case an end portion of the fastening means is anchored to the device Andockvorrich, whereby it is secured against loss or theft. Overall, the method according to the invention makes possible a simpler, more comfortable and safer delivery or pick-up process for a user.

Also advantageous is an expression, according to which it can be provided that the docking devices are provided with at least one unique identifier and the Ken calculations are registered in the control system.

In this way, an unambiguous assignment of a docking device to a specific location, users and / or a program can be created.

According to a development, it is possible that both docking devices are registered with public cher, or free pickup authorization and docking devices with limited or personal pickup authorization.

Thus, it can be ensured that, for example, only deliverers of a particular post office or logistics company have access to a particular docking device and can pick up their shipments there. Similarly, a docking device can be registered as freely accessable docking device and thus for everyone, including private individuals, to be accessible.

Furthermore, it may be expedient for a registration of a docking device to comprise a scan of an identification arranged on or in the docking device by means of a communication device and transmission of the identification to the control system.

This makes it easy for a user to, for example, a unique identification of the docking device or information about the location of the docking device to erfas sen and to transmit this information to the control system. By using a communication device for scanning or reading the ID, it is not necessary that the user manually acquire or input information, whereby the convenience of the system can be further increased. In addition, it can be provided that the registration of a docking device additional Lich a transmission of the location of the docking device via a local or global Po sitionsbestimmungs system to the control system by means of the communication device to summarizes.

Advantageously, a GPS receiver or transmitter in or on the docking device and / or the communication device may be configured to receive or capture standardized position data.

Furthermore, provision can be made for a registered docking device to be dismantled at a registered location, to be transferred to another location and to be mounted on a sub-base, and for the new location to be detected by scanning an identifier arranged on or in this docking device by means of a communication device and Transmission of the identifier is registered to the control system while transmitting the new location of the docking device via a local or global positioning system sys.

The identifier can itself include information about the location, or a location for the respective identifier can be deposited in advance in the control system. Hereby advantageously a unique assignment of a docking device can be created to a location, even if a docking device is mounted at a new location.

According to a particular embodiment, it is possible that a fastening operation of a Sen tion to a docking device by a deliverer scanning a docking device on or in the on, uniquely identifiable and arranged on or in the shipment o- the fuse element identifier by means of a communication device , and the transmission of the identifiers to the control system.

It can be provided that in case of non-use, the locking element is unlocked and the choice of public docking device can also be at least partially ten at Lieferan.

According to an advantageous development, it can be provided that the control system checks the two identifiers with regard to their conformity for this program delivery, and transmits an unlock code and / or an unlocking signal for this docking device to the communication device of the deliverer in the case of a match of the identifiers.

If a match of the identifiers for the respective delivery has been determined, delivery of the unlocking code and / or the unlocking signal to the deliverer can take place directly. Thus, a fast and secure delivery of the shipment can take place.

In particular, it may be advantageous if the control system after attachment of the Sen tion detects the state of this docking device as occupied or occupied and stores.

Thus, it can be ensured that another deliverer does not attempt to deliver a consignment to the occupied docking device, or it is conceivable that in the case of a query by a delivery person to which docking device he can deliver a consignment, not an occupied docking device, but an alternative Free docking device is recommended.

Furthermore, it can be provided that docking devices nalisieren at least one change from a locked state of the locking element of the fastener to an unlocked to stand the locking element of the fastener and vice versa to the control system sig, and that the control system detects and stores at least this signaled state change of docking devices.

On this basis, the control system can record and log deliveries and states of the docking devices. Detection and tracking of shipments or returns in relation to the state of the docking device can thus be imaged in the control system, whereby docking devices with microprocessors can be part of the control system. In addition, it can be provided that the control system for a shipment, which is provided for temporary storage on a registered docking device with public rights, a corresponding docking device only after scanning and Sen to the control system of an arranged on or in the shipment identifier by means of egg nes mobile communication device, or after sending a position within a festge set or determinable distance from a delivery point for the transmission by means of a mobile communication device via a regional or global positioning system, selects and reserves for the transmission or blocks.

This has the advantage that a reserved docking device is no longer proposed for delivery to a further deliverer and thus unwanted multiple occupancy can be obstructed.

Also advantageous is an expression, according to which it can be provided that by means of a sensor arranged in or on the fuse element or the fastening device conductivity a conductivity change of at least partially electrically conductive fuse element and / or an at least partially electrically formed closure device and / or an at least partially electrically conductive fastening means is detected.

By opening and / or damaging at least one of said components of the delivery device, a change in conductivity occurs, which can be detected by a conductivity sensor. Thus it can be detected immediately that there is an unwanted attempt to open a program.

According to a development, it is possible that a detected change in conductivity is signaled to the control system.

The detection of a change in conductivity can also be used to initiate predefinable measures. Such measures may, for example, be an optical and / or audible warning signal at the docking device, or else an acknowledgment signal, such as, for example, the sending of an electronic message to the recipient and / or the logistician. include, which transmitted from the control system to a communication device who the.

Furthermore, it may be expedient if the user of the docking devices are registered by means of a registration module in the control system as authorized recipients and / or authorized delivery agents.

Once the registration module allows users such as the deliverer or recipient to be registered in the control system, a simple comparison can be made as to whether a user is entitled to deliver or pick up a shipment.

In addition, it can be provided that private users are registered as authorized deliverers in the control system.

According to the invention, even private users act as delivery agents and can also register as such, the flexibility and range of a delivery system can be improved with the present invention, after it can be made available to a quasi-unrestricted person nenkreis for use.

Furthermore, it can be provided that each registered deliverer is assigned a maximum goods value for a consignment to which consignment this deliverer is authorized to deliver.

In this way, the financial risk of a recipient, merchant or deliverer for not properly performed deliveries, in particular by private deliverers mini mized or largely be withheld.

Furthermore, it can be provided that the maximum value of goods is determined on the basis of the number of deliveries successfully carried out by a respective deliverer and / or on the basis of recipient assessments.

Due to a high number of successful deliveries, it can be assumed that a deliverer has gained a high level of experience and this has a high degree of reliability. As a result, it can thus be given a high degree of confidence, which also empowers the deliverer to deliver consignments with a high value of goods. Beneficiaries of recipients of different recipients, who have already received broadcasts from the respective deliverer, can thereby be included.

Also advantageous is an embodiment, according to which it can be provided that by means of a communication module or communication portal of the control system by a rightful recipient for a shipment instruction to issue a pickup authorization for another, registered users of the delivery system is obtained, and that Control system this other, registered user registered as a legitimate recipient for this shipment.

The advantage here is that a recipient can beaatra conditions another registered user to take over the pickup of a shipment.

According to a further development, it is possible that a functional state of the docking devices is monitored by means of a functional status monitoring module of the control system.

Hereby it can be ensured that a deliverer delivers a consignment to a functional docking device and, if a faulty functional state is detected, the deliverer is offered an alternative docking device.

Furthermore, it may be expedient if an electrical state of charge of the docking devices is monitored by means of the functional state monitoring module.

The docking device in this case has a state of charge monitoring, for example by detection of state-of-charge signaling or periodic polling of the state of charge.

In addition, it can be provided that a collection process of a shipment of a docking device by a receiver scanning a arranged on or in the docking device identifier and / or on or in the shipment or the fuse element arranged identifier by means of a communication device and transmission of scanned th identifier (s) to the control system comprises, and that the control system Ken nungien) in terms of authorization for pickup by this recipient checks and in the case of authorization to pick a Unlock Code and / or Entrie gelungssignal transmitted to the communication device.

Thus, a receiver can receive a message after the transmission of the scanned identifiers as soon as possible an unlocking code and / or an unlocking signal and remove the transmission at the docking device.

Furthermore, it can be provided that after picking up a shipment to the Andockvor direction issued a request to the authorized recipient to introduce the fastening gungsmittel in the closing device.

In order to restore the docking device to an operational state, it may be provided to request the receiver to reinsert the fastening device into the closing device.

According to a particular embodiment, it is possible that a fastening operation of the Sen tion is aborted at the docking device in the presence of a fault condition by continuous unlocking of the blocking element, wherein a fault state selected from the group comprising
