Detailed ways

The embodiments of this specification will be described below in conjunction with the drawings.

Fig. 1 shows a schematic diagram of a baggage carousel control system according to an embodiment of the present specification. As shown in Figure 1, the baggage carousel system includes a carousel server 11 and a baggage carousel 12. The baggage carousel 12 is provided with a baggage scanner 121 at a first predetermined position and a user scanner at a second predetermined position. 122 and the luggage remover 123. In addition, the carousel 12 also includes a conveyor belt 124 that moves in a predetermined direction at a predetermined speed. Wherein, the baggage scanner 121, the user scanner 122 and the baggage remover 123 are all connected to the server. The connection can be a wired or wireless connection, or it can be a connection through a network.

Figure 2 shows a three-dimensional view of the luggage carousel. As shown in Figure 2, the left part of the figure is a first predetermined position in the luggage carousel. The first predetermined position is, for example, an airport staff placing on the carousel. The location of the luggage. At the first predetermined position, a baggage scanner 121 is set directly above the conveyor belt 124, and the baggage scanner is used to point to the baggage to take a picture of the baggage certificate affixed to the baggage (for example, a QR code is printed on the baggage certificate) . The right part of the figure is the second predetermined position in the baggage carousel, and the second predetermined position is, for example, the position where the passenger receives the baggage. At the second predetermined position, a user scanner 122 is provided on the side facing the passenger, and the user scanner 122 is used to point to the user to capture the user credentials presented by the user. At the same time, a luggage remover 123 is provided inside the carousel at the second predetermined position, and the luggage remover can push the luggage out at a predetermined time after receiving an instruction from the carousel server. It is understandable that in a baggage carousel, at least one baggage placement window and at least one baggage claim window can be set as required.

When passengers board the aircraft for baggage check, the flight attendant will generate baggage credentials and user credentials including the same QR code, provide the user credentials to the passenger, and paste the baggage credentials onto the passenger's luggage. When the plane arrives at the destination, the flight attendant places the passenger's luggage on the above-mentioned luggage carousel, and makes the luggage credential affixed to the luggage face upward. The baggage scanner 121 is, for example, set at a position away from the flight attendants where the baggage is placed, so that the baggage scanner can immediately scan the two-dimensional code on the baggage and transmit the two-dimensional code to the carousel server. When the passenger arrives at the baggage claim window of the carousel and wishes to claim the baggage, the passenger scans his user credential at the window, so that the carousel server can obtain the QR code on the user credential. Therefore, the carousel server can compare whether the two two-dimensional codes are consistent, and if they are consistent, instruct the luggage remover of the window to push out the luggage of the passenger, so that the passenger can claim his luggage.

It can be understood that the above description with reference to Figs. 1 and 2 is only illustrative, not restrictive. For example, the first predetermined position is not limited to the baggage placement position, but may also be the baggage claim window, that is, the first predetermined position. A predetermined position and a second predetermined position may overlap. In addition, the luggage remover is not limited to pushing out luggage, it can also clamp out luggage through mechanical clips, and so on. The control scheme of the baggage carousel according to the embodiment of the present specification will be described in detail below.

Fig. 3 schematically shows a flow chart of a method for controlling a baggage carousel according to an embodiment of the present specification. A baggage scanner is provided at a first position in the baggage carousel, and a user scanner is provided at a second position in the baggage carousel. And the luggage remover, the user scanner, the luggage scanner and the luggage remover are respectively connected to the carousel server, and the method is executed by the carousel server and includes the following steps S302 to S310.

Step S302: When the first baggage on the baggage carousel arrives at the first position, the baggage scanner scans the baggage credential on the first baggage to obtain the first information corresponding to the baggage credential, and The first time when the first baggage passes the first location.

Step S304: When the first user displays his user credentials at the second location, the user scanner scans the user credentials to obtain second information corresponding to the user credentials.

Step S306: Compare whether the first information is consistent with the second information.

Step S308: In the case that the first information is consistent with the second information, based on the first time, the first location, and the second location, determine that the first baggage arrives at the second Location of the second time.

Step S310: Instruct the luggage remover to remove the first luggage from the luggage carousel at the second time.

The structure of the baggage carousel is shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, and the connection relationship between the baggage carousel and the carousel server is shown in Fig. 1 and will not be repeated here. Fig. 4 shows a sequence diagram of the process of passengers from boarding to disembarking baggage claim according to an embodiment of the present specification, which includes the carousel control process executed by the carousel server when the user picks up the baggage shown in Fig. 3.

As shown in Figure 4, at the boarding stage, in step 1.1, passengers arrive at the check-in counter to check their baggage, thereby providing personal information and baggage information to the check-in counter; in step 1.2, the check-in counter equipment registers the check-in For example, register passenger information, baggage information, etc.; in step 1.3, the business server (server 1 in the figure) generates credential information (such as QR code, barcode, etc.); in step 1.4, the business server sends the credential information to the check-in machine Counter equipment; in step 1.5, the check-in counter pastes the printed baggage voucher including the voucher information on the passenger's luggage; in step 1.6, the check-in counter provides the printed user credential including the voucher information to the passenger. It can be seen from the above steps that the user credential possessed by the passenger and the information included in the baggage credential on the luggage are the same, so that the passenger can claim the baggage based on the user credential and the baggage credential in the future. After the boarding phase, the printed baggage voucher can also be used in the baggage sorting process to transport baggage.

Still as shown in Figure 4, after the plane lands, the baggage claim phase begins. In step 2.1, the staff puts the baggage on the baggage carousel with the baggage certificate facing up; in step 2.2, the baggage carousel passes through it. The baggage scanner at the first position scans the baggage credential to obtain the first information and the first time corresponding to the baggage credential, and sends the first information and the first time to the carousel server (server 2 in the figure); in step 2.3. The baggage carousel scans the user credentials presented by the user through the user scanner at its second location to obtain the second information; in step 2.4, the baggage carousel sends the second information to the carousel server; in step 2.5, the carousel server is based on The information of each baggage determines the time when the passenger’s baggage will arrive at the second position, thereby determining the second time to push out the baggage; in step 2.6, the carousel server instructs the baggage carousel to push out the baggage at the second time; in step 2.7, the baggage carousel At the second time, the luggage is pushed out at the second location so that the passenger can pick up his luggage. The steps in Figure 3 corresponding to the baggage claim phase in this figure will be described in detail below.

First, in step S302, when the first baggage on the baggage carousel arrives at the first position, the baggage scanner scans the baggage credential on the first baggage to obtain the first baggage credential corresponding to the baggage credential. Information, and the first time when the first baggage passed the first location.

Referring to Fig. 2, a first position A is preset in the baggage carousel, and a baggage scanner facing the baggage is arranged at the first position A. The baggage scanner can be specifically configured as required. For example, if a QR code is printed on the baggage certificate, the baggage scanner can be a QR code scanner, and if a barcode is printed on the baggage certificate, the baggage scanner can be a QR code scanner. The baggage scanner can be a barcode scanner. In one embodiment, the baggage scanner may be a camera. In one embodiment, the baggage scanner may be connected to a microprocessor (such as an industrial control unit) of the baggage carousel, so that the microprocessor is connected to the carousel server through a network. In one embodiment, the baggage scanner can be directly connected to the carousel server through wired or wireless (such as various short-distance connection methods, such as Bluetooth, etc.), which is not limited here.

When the first baggage arrives at the first position A, the baggage scanner provided at A will scan the upwardly facing baggage credential on the first baggage to obtain the first information corresponding to the baggage credential. In an embodiment, the baggage scanner includes a decoding module, so that the first information may be information obtained by decoding, for example, a two-dimensional code included in the baggage credential, and the first information includes, for example, the The passenger information, flight information, and information about the baggage corresponding to the baggage are used to uniquely identify the baggage. In an embodiment, the baggage scanner does not include a decoding module, and the first information may be the two-dimensional code itself included in the baggage credential, which is not limited herein. At the same time, the baggage scanner may record the time when the first information is acquired as the first time t1 when the first baggage passes through the position A. After obtaining the first information and the first time, the baggage scanner sends the first information and the first time to the carousel server, so that the carousel server obtains the first information and the first time.

In step S304, when the first user displays his user credentials at the second location, the user scanner scans the user credentials to obtain second information corresponding to the user credentials.

Referring to FIG. 2, a second position B is preset in the baggage carousel, and a user scanner facing the passenger is arranged at the second position B. Similar to a baggage scanner, the user scanner can be specifically configured as required. For example, if a QR code is printed on the user credential, the user scanner can be a QR code scanner. If a barcode is printed on it, the user scanner can be a barcode scanner. In one embodiment, the user scanner may be a camera. In one embodiment, the user scanner may be connected to a microprocessor (such as an industrial control unit) of the luggage carousel, so that the microprocessor is connected to the carousel server through a network. In an embodiment, the user scanner can be directly connected to the turntable server through wired or wireless (such as various short-distance connection methods, such as Bluetooth, etc.), which is not limited here. In one embodiment, the user scanner can be integrated into the passenger kiosk. When a passenger wants to claim baggage, he can press the baggage claim button on the kiosk to enable the kiosk to activate the user scanner. At the same time, the passenger The prompt on the kiosk puts its user credentials in front of the user scanner, so that the user scanner can scan the user credentials of the passenger.

Thus, when the first user comes to location B and picks up his luggage here, he will show his user credentials to the user scanner, so that the user scanner can obtain the second information included in the user credentials. Similarly, the second information may be information obtained by decoding, for example, a two-dimensional code included in the user credential, or the second information may be the two-dimensional code itself included in the user credential. After obtaining the second information, the user scanner sends the second information to the turntable server directly or via the network, so that the turntable server obtains the second information.

In step S306, compare whether the first information is consistent with the second information.

After the turntable server obtains the first information and the second information, if the first information and the second information are decoded character strings, the turntable server may compare the first information and the second information with the character strings to determine Whether the first information is consistent with the second information. In the case where the first information and the second information are two-dimensional codes, the turntable server may first decode the first information and the second information, and compare the decoded information with character strings, or the turntable server may also The first information and the second information are compared with pictures to determine whether the first information is consistent with the second information. The comparison method is not specifically limited in the examples of this specification.

In step S308, in the case that the first information is consistent with the second information, based on the first time, the first position, and the second position, it is determined that the first baggage arrives at the first baggage The second time in the second position.

In the case where the first information is consistent with the second information, that is, the baggage credential is the same as the user credential, that is, the baggage corresponding to the baggage credential is the user corresponding to the user credential Luggage. After it is determined that the first baggage is the baggage of the first user, the time at which the first baggage arrives at the second position may be calculated based on the first time t1 obtained above and the first position and the second position. Specifically, since the speed v and the direction of rotation of the carousel are known, in the case that the first baggage has passed the first position and has not reached the second position, the time t2 for the first baggage to reach the second position can be determined by the following formula (1) Obtained by calculation:

Among them, l _AB is the length of the baggage transfer route between position A and position B. Since the luggage conveyor belt is usually elliptical, the length is not limited to a straight length, but may be a curved length. In the case where the first baggage has passed the first position and has also passed the second position, the first baggage will reach the second position after passing the first position for the second time. Therefore, it can be similarly based on the first time, The first position and the second position calculate the second time.

In step S310, instruct the luggage remover to remove the first luggage from the luggage carousel at the second time.

In one embodiment, after determining the second time t2 when the first baggage reaches the second position, the carousel server may instruct the baggage remover to remove the baggage at the second time t2. After receiving the instruction, the baggage remover can immediately perform the action of removing the baggage. For example, the baggage remover is a baggage ejection arm, so that the baggage is pushed out of the baggage carousel by pushing out the baggage that arrives at the second position. Or, the baggage remover is a baggage clip, so that the baggage is removed from the baggage carousel by picking up the baggage that arrives at the second position.

In one embodiment, the baggage remover is connected to the carousel server through the local microprocessor of the carousel, and the carousel server may send the t2 to the carousel after determining the second time t2 when the first baggage reaches the second position. The microprocessor, so that the microprocessor instructs the luggage remover to remove the luggage from the carousel at time t2.

The method shown in FIG. 3 is mainly described above based on the process shown in FIG. 4, and it can be understood that the method shown in FIG. 3 is not limited to the process shown in FIG. Fig. 5 shows a sequence diagram of the process of passengers from boarding to baggage claim according to another embodiment of the present specification, in which the baggage carousel control method shown in Fig. 3 can also be implemented.

As shown in Figure 5, steps 1.1 to 1.5 are the same as the corresponding steps in Figure 4. The process shown in Figure 5 is different from the process shown in Figure 4 in that during the boarding phase, in step 1.6, the check-in counter will After the credentials are provided to the passengers, in step 1.7, the business server (server 1 in the figure) obtains the user's face data, and stores the matching relationship between the user's face data and the user's credentials. For example, the check-in counter can be obtained by entering the user's face The face data of the user and send the face data to the business server, or the business server can call the user’s face data from the database based on the user’s ID card, etc.; in step 1.8, the business server will match the face data The relationship is sent to the turntable server (server 2 in the figure).

In the baggage claim phase, steps 2.1 to 2.4 are the same as the corresponding steps in Figure 4, except that after step 2.4, in step 2.5, the baggage carousel enters the user's face through the user scanner at the second position; in step 2.6, Send the face data to the carousel server; in step 2.7, the carousel server can determine whether the user corresponds to the information in the user credentials presented by the user based on the matching relationship between the facial data and the information included in the user credential, and determine based on the information of each baggage The time when the passenger’s luggage will arrive at the second location to determine the second time to push out the luggage. Specifically, for the above-mentioned first user and the first luggage, determine whether the second information matches the first user based on the matching relationship In the case where it is determined that the second information corresponds to the first user, and the first information is consistent with the second information, determine the second time when the first baggage arrives at the second location. The subsequent steps are basically the same as those in FIG. 4, and will not be repeated here.

In other words, in the process shown in Figure 5, based on the matching relationship between the user's face and the user's credentials, it is further verified that the credentials in the hands of the user are their own credentials, thereby further eliminating the risk of mishandling and loss of luggage.

Fig. 6 shows a flow chart of a method for controlling a baggage carousel according to an embodiment of the present specification. A baggage scanner is provided at a first position in the baggage carousel, and a user scanner is provided at a second position in the baggage carousel. The user scanner, the luggage scanner and the luggage remover are connected to the carousel server. The method is executed by the carousel server and includes the following steps S602 to S610.

Step S602: When the first baggage on the baggage carousel arrives at the first position, the baggage scanner scans the baggage credential on the first baggage to obtain the first information corresponding to the baggage credential, and The first time when the first baggage passes the first location.

Step S604: When the first user is located at the second location, the user scanner scans the face of the first user to obtain the face data of the first user.

Step S606: Determine whether the first information corresponds to the first user based on the correspondence between the information included in the pre-acquired baggage credential and the user's face.

Step S608: In a case where the first information corresponds to the first user, based on the first time, the first location, and the second location, it is determined that the first baggage arrives at the first user. The second time in the second position.

Step S610: Instruct the luggage remover to remove the first luggage from the luggage carousel at the second time.

Corresponding to this method, FIG. 7 shows a sequence diagram of a passenger's process from boarding to baggage claim according to another embodiment of the present specification, including the turntable control process executed by the turntable server when the user collects baggage as shown in FIG. 6 .

As shown in Figure 7, in the boarding phase, steps 1.1 to 1.5 are the same as the corresponding steps in Figure 5. The difference is that in the process shown in Figure 7, there is no need to provide user credentials to the user.
