Among them, the camera unit 2 is preferably arranged on the side wall on the top of the cabinet 1.2 and/or the shelf in the cabinet 1.2. When the camera unit 2 is provided on the shelf in the cabinet 1.2, the camera unit 2 can be installed on the upper surface of the shelf or the lower surface of the shelf. Further, the door body 1.1 is provided with a door lock 4 and a detection unit 3 that are electrically connected to the control unit, and the detection unit 3 is used to detect whether there are people in a designated area outside the container 1. Among them, the detection unit 3 can perform detection by emitting and receiving light waves. For example, the detection unit 3 includes an infrared transmitter and an infrared receiver. When a user enters a designated area outside the container 1, the infrared light emitted by the infrared transmitter will be reflected by the user and received by the infrared receiver. At this time, it can be determined that someone has entered. specific area. Of course, the detection unit 3 is not limited to the above form.

Example 1

This embodiment provides a container control method. The container control method includes the following steps:

At this time, the monitoring can be ended and skip to step S3.3; if otherwise, it means that the user is still selecting and needs to continue monitoring and then skip to execution. Step S3.1;

S3.3. Stop the camera unit 2 from monitoring and upload the captured surveillance video and/or image to the cloud server, and jump to the execution step: detecting whether there are people in the designated area around the container 1.

It should be noted that when the container 1 is an unmanned retail cabinet, in order to realize automatic payment when the camera unit 2 ends the monitoring, there is a code scanning area on the cabinet 1.2 of the container 1, the top of the inner wall of the cabinet 1.2 and the cabinet 1.2 RFID identifiers are installed on the bottom surface of the inner shelf. Since the RFID identifier recognizes the product through radio signals and reads and writes related data, there is no need to establish mechanical or optical contact between its identification system and the product, and the radio frequency tag on the product does not need to be within the line of sight of the RFID identifier, so the user purchases the product You only need to scan the QR code in the scan code area, open the door 1.1 of the container 1 and select the desired product, and then close the door 1.1 of the container 1 to automatically deduct the payment, which is very convenient. Of course, in order to realize automatic payment, in addition to using an RFID recognizer to recognize commodities, a gravity sensor or image recognition camera unit 2 may also be used. For the identification method based on gravity sensors, each shelf in the cabinet 1.2 must be equipped with a gravity sensor, and the replenisher needs to place each product above the corresponding gravity sensor, that is to say, each product has a designated By monitoring the detection results of each gravity sensor, the quantity and type of commodities purchased by the user can be known. The recognition method of the camera unit 2 based on the image recognition class is described in detail below, and will not be repeated here.

It should be noted that in the above process, the next step can be executed immediately after the previous step of the two adjacent steps is executed, or it can be executed after a specified time has elapsed.
