Fig. 4 schematically shows an implementation process example in which a user rents and controls a locker through a mobile client. Wherein, the mobile client can be a mobile phone APP, WeChat, Momo, etc., which can bind the locker through a unique login number and can all realize the functions of the present invention. The mobile client includes a space application module and a sign-in module, and the space application module uses For selecting the locker to be bound, the sign-in module is used to remotely control the receipt through the mobile client. This embodiment takes renting and controlling lockers to store items through mobile phone WeChat as an example, as shown in Figure 4, the method includes:

Step S401: Follow the official account of the locker through WeChat.

Step S402: Select a locker and apply for a deposit password.

When the user wants to store items, he selects a locker through the space application module of the WeChat official account, and the mobile client is connected to the space rental management cloud platform system on the network server 7 through the network. Among them, there are three ways for the user to select a locker, including: searching for a locker by a locker number or place name keyword, searching for nearby lockers, and obtaining all lockers by default sorting. After the space rental management cloud platform system loaded on the network server 7 receives the user's space application request instruction, it will provide a list of geographical location information of the lockers that meet the conditions according to the geographic location information provided by the positioning module 1033 of each locker. For the user's WeChat client, the user selects a locker. After selecting the geographical location, the space rental management cloud platform system will assign a locker space 1 in the geographical location to the current user, and provide the locker space to the user's WeChat in the form of the corresponding logical address password client. Among them, the logical address password is the deposit password and the pick-up password, which are composed of six-digit numbers, such as the deposit password 123456 and the pick-up password 654321. The deposit password and pick-up password are used as a logical address corresponding to a Locker physical space. After the allocation is completed, the cloud platform first sends the deposit password to the user's WeChat, and sends the generated deposit password and pick-up password to the corresponding locker, which are stored by the local data storage module 1035.

Step S403: Determine the address of the locker, and allocate a storage space.

The user finds the locker based on the geographic location of the selected locker. After arriving at the geographic location where the selected locker is located, select "Deposit" through the deposit instruction option of the WeChat client or through the menu selection module 10312 of the input module 1031 of the locker, and input the logic through the keyboard 10311 The address password is the storage password and the selected space grid size (large, medium, small) to open the cabinet door for storage. The control module 1032 obtains the input password, first sends the password to the data storage module 1035 to judge whether it is an effective password, and the data storage module 1035 checks whether the password is assigned to the current locker according to the storage information in the data table Save the file password, and return the judgment result to the control module 1032. When the control module 1032 receives the signal that is a valid password, it allocates a free space grid 100 for the user according to the state of the space grid stored in the data table, and generates a control command to open the door, and sends the control command to the electric lock control through the TCP/IP protocol. plate 101. Wherein, the generated control command is composed of a character string indicating the cell number and the door opening and closing command. For example, the control command 00051 means to open the cabinet door of the No. 5 space cell. After the electric lock control board 101 receives the door opening control command, it finds the corresponding space grid 100, and connects the circuit of the electric lock 104 of the corresponding space grid 100, and the cabinet door of the space grid 100 is opened. After that, the user can place the storage items in the opened space.

Step S404: The electric lock control board notifies the locker that the door has been opened.

The detection module 1011 of the electric lock control board 101 cyclically reads the voltage state of the door opening monitoring point 3012 in the cabinet door linkage circuit of each space grid sequentially. The lock has been connected and is in the locked state, and the cabinet door has been successfully opened, and the status information that the cabinet door has been opened is sent to the monitoring module 1034 of the computer 103, and the monitoring module 1034 judges whether the opening of the door is authorized to open the door. If the door is opened without authorization, the space rental management cloud platform system will be notified to inform the administrator to alarm or notify the user. If it is authorized to open the door, the information that the cabinet door of the corresponding space grid has been successfully opened will be notified to the space rental management cloud platform system. Afterwards, the monitoring module 1034 submits the state information to the data storage module 1035, and updates the state information of the corresponding space.

Step S405: Send confirmation information and pick-up password to the depositor's WeChat.

When the user puts the stored items into and closes the cabinet door of the space, the electric lock control board 101 detects that the cabinet door has been closed, and then sends the closed state information of the cabinet door to the control module 1032, and the control module 1032 reports whether the corresponding cabinet door has been closed. The closed status information is returned to the web server 7. After the space renting cloud platform system of the network server 7 receives the status information, it will send the confirmation information of the successful deposit, the pick-up prompt information and the pick-up password to the user's WeChat client.

Step S406: The pick-up person goes to the locker to receive the pick-up password or WeChat signature.

When the user picks up the item in person, he or she can sign for it through WeChat, the option of picking up the item in the sign-in module of the WeChat client, or directly select the option of picking up the item in the input module 1031 of the locker and enter the password for picking up the item to sign for it manually. When the user entrusts someone else, such as a friend or family member, to pick up the item, he only needs to inform the picker of the pick-up password. The picker selects the pick-up option through the input module 1031 and enters the pick-up password to sign for receipt. When manually signing for receipt, the control module 1032 finds the space corresponding to the password from the data table according to the received instruction and password information, and then sends the control command for opening the cabinet door of the corresponding space to the electric lock control board 101. The lock control panel 101 connects the corresponding electric lock 104 and opens the cabinet door. When WeChat signs for receipt, the space rental management cloud platform system receives the pickup application from the user’s WeChat client, and will find out the locker space bound to the current operation selection according to the current user’s WeChat account, and pass the door opening instruction information through Http The protocol is sent to the control module 1032 of the corresponding locker. Among them, the door opening instruction information sent by the cloud platform is a string composed of the locker space code, the space cell number and the door opening and closing mark, such as 999900051 indicates that the door of the No. 5 space cell of the locker whose space code is 9999 is opened. The control module 1032 generates the door opening control instruction 00051 according to the conventional method after receiving the instruction information, and sends the door opening control instruction to the electric lock control board 101 to turn on the corresponding electric lock 104 to open the cabinet door. Afterwards, the electric lock control board 101 notifies the monitoring module 1034 that the corresponding space compartment door has been successfully opened. The monitoring module 1034 judges whether the opening of the door is authorized to open the door. If the door is opened without authorization, it will notify the space rental management cloud platform system to inform the administrator to call the police or notify the user. If it is authorized to open the door, the information that the cabinet door of the corresponding space has been successfully opened will be notified to the space rental management cloud platform system, and the cloud platform will notify the user WeChat of the completion of the pickup. At the same time, the monitoring module 1034 submits the status information to the data storage module 1035, and updates the status information of the corresponding space grid.

As a result, users can rent and control lockers through the client APP software of mobile devices, such as mobile phone WeChat, etc., to realize timely and convenient item storage and handover.

What have been described above are only some embodiments of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, without departing from the inventive concept of the present invention, several modifications and improvements can be made, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
