Description

METHOD AND SYSTEM OF PERSONALIZED SORT ACCOUNTING

WASTE

FIELD OF TECHNOLOGY

[001] This technical solution generally relates to the field of computer technology, and in particular to methods and systems for personalized automatic accounting and sorting of user waste.

BACKGROUND

[002] Currently, the problem of recycling production and consumption waste is extremely urgent for most cities, as their ever-increasing volumes continue to increase the burden on the environment.

[003] The most common method of disposal remains the disposal of unsorted waste at appropriate landfills or incineration at special plants. Thus, until recently, traditional approaches to the problem of reducing the hazardous effect of waste on the environment were focused mainly on isolating landfills from groundwater, if it was a matter of garbage disposal at landfills, or cleaning up emissions from an incinerator, if garbage was supposed to be disposed of by burning. But the development and implementation of methods for isolating hazardous substances at landfills and preventing their entry into the soil, and hence into groundwater, is quite problematic, given the huge number of old landfills built without taking into account the necessary environmental requirements.

[004] Due to existing disposal problems, waste is considered as a source of valuable resources, the skillful use of which will avoid both the impending environmental crisis and the consequences of the depletion of non-renewable resources. In the framework of a single approach to non-waste production, an expanded the environmental responsibility of manufacturers, and the environmentally friendly design of goods, and the reduction in the amount of waste from both production and consumption, as well as their processing.

[005] The problem of processing waste for later use in the production of goods is the efficient separation of waste into fractions. Several methods are known for sorting solid household waste (MSW), and each country, and often each city, chooses the most suitable for itself: the construction of waste sorting plants, the installation of special containers in the yards for separate collection of garbage by the population, as well as the effective combination of these methods.

[006] A method for sorting MSW by population is the most obvious. It is much simpler to separate the solid waste at the stage of its collection from the population than to try to sort the garbage dumped into one container, and the possibility of separating its constituent components is significantly reduced, which means that the proportion of solid waste suitable for successful processing decreases. However, sorting solid waste and accounting for sorting waste data is a difficult task, which is not limited to separating containers by color for different types of solid waste.

[007] Patent application CN105436188A "Garbage sorting treatment system and using method thereof", patent holder: ZHEJIANG DEAN TECH CO LTD, publication date: March 30, 2016 is known from the prior art.

[008] The present invention relates to a garbage sorting processing system and a method for using it. According to the inventive garbage sorting processing system, the construction is such that the garbage collection container and the garbage bag are associated with personal identifier information, residents are compelled to separately stack the decomposable garbage and the indecomposable garbage, and in the meantime, the garbage processing apparatus allows loading the decomposable garbage, otherwise the feed door on the machine body cannot be opened in order to enter the sorting of garbage; the design is such that a recognition barcode or recognition chip in a garbage collection container where residents place garbage, can be controlled and monitored, and in addition, residents leaving trash can easily be alerted and warned of garbage collection.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[009] This technical solution is aimed at eliminating the disadvantages inherent in solutions known from the prior art.

[0010] The technical task or, in other words, the technical problem solved in this technical solution is personalized sorting and accounting of waste.

[0012] An additional technical result is the provision of waste accounting at all stages of its movement, as well as providing accurate identification of the source of waste origin, as well as its tracking through the use of a special digital code on the container.

[0013] Also, when implementing the invention, the degree of sorting of waste can be controlled from a local approach to sorting.

[0014] This technical result is achieved by implementing a personalized waste sorting method, in which at least one scanned two-dimensional bar code is received, containing on at least one container containing waste of the same type; after which data from the user communication device are received from the user communication device, the location point of the waste collection at which this user stores them and the type of waste in the container; then form the relationship of the obtained two-dimensional barcode located on the container and the type of waste located in the container; further, based on the generated connection of the two-dimensional bar code and the type of waste, the degree of loading of at least one point of the waste collection location is monitored; and ultimately send a means to transportation of waste to the point of location of waste collection, to which this user stacks it when it is filled.

[0015] In some embodiments, the two-dimensional barcode contains a unique identifier for the container on which it is located.

[0016] In some embodiments, the two-dimensional barcode is a QR code or PDF 417, or DataMatrix, or Maxicode.

[0017] In some embodiments, the waste collection location comprises GPS coordinates.

[0018] In some embodiments of the invention, the container contains an RFID tag to track its future movement.

[0019] In some embodiments of the invention, the location of the waste collection is indicated by the user on the map by moving and marking and / or by entering the exact address, and / or by selecting from a predefined list of addresses.

[0020] In some embodiments of the invention, the point of location of the waste collection can be determined automatically by using the GPS function of the user's mobile communication device.

[0021] In some embodiments, the waste collection location data is converted to a geographic coordinate recording format.

[0022] In some embodiments of the invention, at the point of collection of waste, additional control of filling the waste compartments is carried out by reading a two-dimensional code on the container or upon detecting the movement of the waste placed in the container.

[0032] The technical solution can be implemented as a distributed computer system, the components of which are cloud or local servers.

[0033] In this solution, a system means a computer system or an automated system (AS), a computer (electronic computer), CNC (numerical control), PLC (programmable logic controller), a computerized control system, and any other devices capable of performing a given, clearly defined sequence of computational operations (actions, instructions).

[0034] An instruction processing device is understood to mean an electronic unit or an integrated circuit (microprocessor) executing machine instructions (programs).

[0035] An instruction processing device reads and executes machine instructions (programs) from one or more data storage devices. Storage devices may include, but are not limited to, hard disks (HDDs), flash memory, ROM (read only memory), solid state drives (SSDs), optical drives, and cloud storage.

[0036] A program is a sequence of instructions for execution by a computer control device or an instruction processing device.

[0037] A bar code (barcode) is graphic information applied to the surface, marking or packaging of products, representing the possibility of reading it by technical means - a sequence of black and white stripes, or other geometric shapes.

[0038] A container is a basic packaging element intended for product placement. Usually allowed the reuse (reusable) use of containers (as opposed to packaging). [0039] A geographic information system (geographic information system, GIS) is a system for collecting, storing, analyzing and graphically visualizing spatial (geographic) data and related information about necessary objects.

[0040] Server (eng server) - an electronic device that performs service functions at the request of a client, giving him access to certain resources. For the purposes of the present description, a server is considered having a permanent connection to a federated network that can transmit data to a client device. The server can process this data and transfer the processing result back to the client device.

[0041] A data exchange module is a server module that can represent a receiver of incoming signals, and a converter for subsequent processing, and a translator for further sending.

[0042] A computing module is a server module that is a microprocessor specially adapted for complex signal processing.

[0043] A database storage module is a server module that stores data that can be executed as a hard disk drive or as flash memory, which refers to semiconductors of electrically reprogrammable memory.

[0044] The personalized waste sorting method shown in FIG. 1 in block diagram form may include the following steps.

[0045] Step 101: at least one scanned two-dimensional barcode is received that is contained in at least one container containing the same type of waste.

[0046] The user 600, as shown in FIG. 6, before using this technical solution, it loads or in other words fills the existing container, as shown in FIG. 2 and in FIG. 5 (various options for the implementation of containers), one or another container 200 for waste directly waste of the same type and / or different types, on which the two-dimensional code 210 is applied.

[0047] After this, the user 600 scans the two-dimensional code 210 using special hardware and / or software located on the container and the already scanned two-dimensional code enters the system 610.

[0048] In some embodiments of the technical solution, the two-dimensional code 210 may be duplicated by a unique digital or symbolic identifier so that the user 600 does not have to use an optical scanning device, i.e. hardware, and enter a unique code in a mobile application or web service on a mobile communication device.

[0049] The two-dimensional code 210 can be a bar code that can be executed, for example, by direct thermal printing, heat transfer, matrix transfer, silk screen printing, gluing, marking, for example, by a laser method, in particular, using an yttrium-aluminum laser AIG (YAG), blue laser or ultraviolet laser. If necessary, the barcode may contain encrypted data.

[0050] In some embodiments, the two-dimensional code 210 may be of a digital type, for example, as a European International Code EAN8, a European International Code EAN13, a Universal Product Code UPC, or an International Standard Book Number ISBN, or an alphanumeric type, for example, as a code Code 39 or Code 128.

[0051] The barcode 210 may be a two-dimensional code, for example, such as PDF 417, DataMatrix, Maxicode or QR Code, not limited to

[0052] In some embodiments, a two-dimensional code scanner may be implemented in software or hardware. In the case of a software implementation of the scanner, two-dimensional code 210 can be read by a specially downloaded mobile application, form in a web service or through a standard camera, in which the manufacturer has a two-dimensional barcode recognition function. In the case of hardware implementation, an electronic device can be used as a scanner, which can recognize and convert (decrypt) a two-dimensional code, for example, a QR code. In addition, the two-dimensional code scanner has all the capabilities of a conventional laser scanner and can read one-dimensional codes, moreover, from any angle, which makes it even more convenient and universal.

[0053] In some embodiments of the invention, a two-dimensional code 210 or a unique digital code may be located in the middle and / or corner, and / or on the edge, and / or outside, and / or inside the container, without limitation.

[0054] In some embodiments, the container 200 may include waste compartments that pose a particular threat, for example, electroplating products, mercury lamps, broken thermometers, etc., without limitation. Moreover, such compartments may differ from other compartments in color and / or type of material, for example, foil.

[0055] Container 200 can be classified for waste by its state of aggregation: solid waste, liquid waste, gaseous waste.

[0056] Also, containers 200 may be classified by the user under existing types of waste, for example:

• MSW - municipal solid waste;

• KGM - bulky materials;

• Spent mercury lamps;

• Auto break;

• Bulky rubbish made of rubber or with a high rubber content; • Used batteries, both machine and other machinery and equipment, with the exception of components for computers and mobile gadgets;

• Electronic equipment.

[0057] In turn, for example, container 200 for solid waste can be classified by the following waste:

• Organic waste;

• Textiles;

• Polymers;

• Rubber;

• Glass;

• Ferrous and non-ferrous metals.

[0058] Already on the basis of the necessary and / or expected type of waste, a certain container 200 is used, for example: a can, tub, reel, bottle, barrel, pot, box, box, bag, tube, etc. The purpose of the container 200 in this case is to make the waste is convenient for transportation, transportable and to ensure conditions for their qualitative and quantitative safety during transportation, and further sorting. In some embodiments of the invention, a combined container 200 is used, which allows you to combine different types of waste (for example, plastic with wood, wood with metal), which provides the most durable and convenient types of packaging for transportation and storage. The main types of combined containers 200 include small-sized and special containers, folding tanks, wooden box and barrel containers with inserts from plastics, etc.

[0059] In some embodiments, the waste collection container 200 may be stored on a user's living area, in a designated place, for example, on a landing or in the courtyard of the user's home. In some embodiments of the invention, the container for collecting waste may be in a temporarily designated place, for example, marked with paint or RFID, which can be defined in the user's mobile application.

[0060] In some embodiments of the invention, the container 200 may be colored in different colors to facilitate sorting, for example, in such an embodiment as shown in the table below.

[0061] In some embodiments, the user collects the waste in a container 200 containing a two-dimensional code 210 and hands it over, for example, to an organization that receives galvanic cells, which will recycle it on its own in the future.

[0062] The two-dimensional code 210 applied to the container 200 contains a unique container identifier that can be numeric or symbolic and is further associated with user information.

[0063] In some embodiments, the container 200 comprises an RFID tag (transmitter and receiver) to track its movement later. To record the information where the container 200 is sent, RFID readers can be installed, for example, on the container transportation vehicle and the RFID tags will be read right before the packaging of the container 200, and at the gate when entering the waste processing or sorting plant (RFID portal). In other embodiments, the container 200 may include a beacon for tracking, for example, a GPS / rjlOHACC / LBS beacon, iBeacon, and the like, not limited to. To ensure the stability of the signal against interference and the effects of jamming devices allows the joint use of a combination of navigation services — GLONASS, GPS and LBS. [0064] Step 102: obtain user data, a waste collection location point from which the user stacks them, and the type of waste in the container from the user communication device.

[0065] User 600 introduces personal information upon registration in a mobile application or on a service website via a mobile communication device 620. System 610 has the ability to collect information about all visitors to a web service or users of a mobile application, and user data 600 can be understood as at least the following: user ID, full name, address of actual residence, age, gender, interests, social behavior , personal data, user profile on a social network, data about the computing platform used by the user, time zone, user screen resolution, connected plug-ins for a web browser, language, information about operas translational user's system. System 610 also allows the collection of information about visitors to web pages or users of a mobile application by analyzing cookies, which can be used for at least the following: authenticating users, storing personal preferences and user settings, tracking the status of a user's access session, conducting statistics about users. All the above user information collected is stored in the 640 database.

[0066] So, for example, user 600 may specify an alias

(nickname) of a user on a web resource or mobile application, his email address, user identification number, etc. by entering such data in the graphical user interface on the registration page of the new user of the resource (page for editing the user data of the resource) or by selecting such data from the resources provided to the user by the resource.

It is worth noting that user 600 can get to the user registration page by a link (for example, a web link) that can be sent to him by any other user of the resource, for example, as invitations to the resource, and the link may contain information about the inviting user, which can be used to establish a connection between the inviting user of the resource and the invited / registered user on the resource.

[0067] The waste collection location point 630 may be indicated by the user 600 on the map by moving and marking, or by entering an exact address, or by selecting from a predefined list of addresses. In some embodiments of the invention, the waste collection location point 630 may be determined automatically by using the GPS function of the mobile user communication device 620. According to one particular embodiment, the waste collection location point 630 is determined by at least one mobile user communication device 620, which is regularly determined (for example, at the same time in the morning and along the same path from the house to the waste collection point) at a given point 630 using at least one of the following devices: a geolocation receiver; GSM-module that determines the location of the signals of base stations; LTE-module that determines the location of the signals of base stations; using data received from the receivers of Wi-Fi devices of users of a mobile application based on the use of artificial intelligence algorithms (machine learning, namely artificial neural networks).

[0068] In some embodiments, the data on the waste collection location point 630 is converted into one of the known geographic coordinate recording formats. It will be apparent to any person skilled in the art that several points of a waste collection location may be displayed on a map, whereby user 600 may select the closest or most convenient point 630.

[0069] In some embodiments, geographic coordinates include latitude, longitude, and altitude. Geographic the coordinates of the same point can be expressed in different formats. Depending on whether minutes and seconds are represented as values from 0 to 60 or from 0 to 100 (decimal fractions).

[0070] The coordinate format can be used as follows: DD — degrees, MM — minutes, SS — seconds, if minutes and seconds are represented as decimal fractions, then DD.DDDD is used. For example:

[0071] DD MM SS: 50 ° 40 '45 "east, 40 50' 30" north - Degrees, minutes, seconds

[0072] DD MM. MM: 50 ° 40.75 'E, 40 50.5' N - Degrees, decimal minutes

[0073] DD.DDDDD: 50.67916 East, 40.841666 North - Decimal degrees.

[0074] An example of different forms of recording the same coordinates:

[0075] 21.36214, -157.95341

[0076] N21.36214, W157.95341

[0077] 21.36214 ° N, 157.95341 ° W

[0078] 21 ° 21.728'N, 157 ° 57.205'W

[0079] 21 ° 21'43.7 "N, 157 ° 57'12.3" W

[0080] The user 600 indicates the type of waste in a mobile application or web service on the user's mobile communication device 620, choosing it from the available list (which is loaded from the database 640 of the system 610) or by entering it in the graphical user interface.

[0081] Step 103: link the resulting two-dimensional barcode on the container to the type of waste on the container, as shown in FIG. 7.

[0082] The user first enters the type of waste after scanning the two-dimensional code in the user's mobile application or web service.

[0083] The formation of communication at this step can be carried out by establishing correspondence between entities and domain characteristics, as well as relationships and attributes in the notation of the selected DBMS.

[0084] In some embodiments, a two-dimensional barcode (such as an entity in database 640) contains attributes such as “unique code identifier”, “geographical coordinates” of the waste collection location, “contact information”, “Internet address” (character URL link or IP address) etc.

[0085] In some embodiments, the type of waste (such as an entity in the database) contains attributes such as “name of the waste,” “description of the waste,” “identifier of the waste,” “waste classifier,” etc. The waste classifier determines the hazard of the waste by its physicochemical properties. The hazard classification of waste, starting with the least hazardous, can include five groups and can be as follows:

[0086] 5 - practically non-hazardous: pose virtually no threat to the ecological system;

[0087] 4 - low hazard: they have a low degree of harmful effects on the environment and have a three-year period of self-healing;

[0088] 3 - moderately hazardous: violate the ecological system, the recovery period is 10 years, subject to prior neutralization;

[0089] 2 - highly hazardous: expose the ecological system to severe violations, the recovery period is 30 years;

[0090] 1 - extremely dangerous: they violate the ecological system irreversibly, their recovery period is absent or unknown.

[0091] In addition, each type of waste by origin, in accordance with various international classifiers, has its own identification code. For example, the scrap metal waste and waste group has the numerical code “351 000 00 00 00 0”, while the waste included in this group also has its own special code: scrap and waste that contains carbon steel - “351 202 00 01 00 0” etc. [0092] Then, for each entity, its primary key is determined in the database 640. Each entity can be represented, for example, by one table in the database or contained in several. In some embodiments, in addition to the primary key, a number of unique keys are defined. The difference between a unique key and a primary one is that the unique key is not the main identifying factor of the record and the foreign key of another table cannot refer to it. Its main task is to guarantee the uniqueness of the field value.

[0093] Then, relationships between the objects (tables and columns) are established, after which the normalization of the tables is carried out, known from the prior art. In some embodiments of the invention, the first normal form (1 NF), the second normal form (2NF), the third normal form (NF), the normal Boyce-Codd form (NFBK), the fourth normal form (4NF), and the fifth normal form (5NF) are used . Each of the various existing types of relationships between tables can be modeled in a database. There are several types of relationships that are potentially used in this technical solution: a one-to-many relationship and / or a many-to-many relationship.

[0094] The one-to-many relationship in most cases reflects the real relationship of entities in the subject area. It is implemented by the already described "foreign key-primary key" pair, i.e. when a foreign key is defined that refers to the primary key of another table. It is this connection that describes the widespread mechanism of classifiers.

There is a look-up table containing the names of the types of waste and some codes, moreover, the primary key is, for example, an identification code. In the table that collects information, a foreign key is defined that refers to the primary key of the classifier. After that, it does not enter the name from the classifier, but the identification code of the type of waste. Such a system becomes resistant to name changes in classifiers. The prior art methods for changing the displayed table of identification codes of waste types on their names both at the database server level (for client-server DBMSs) and at the user application level.

[0095] The many-to-many relationship is not explicitly supported in relational databases. However, there are a number of ways to indirectly implement such a relationship that successfully compensate for its absence. One of the most common methods is to introduce an additional table whose rows consist of foreign keys that reference the primary keys of two tables. For example, there are two tables: TWO CODE and TYPE OF WASTE. One two-dimensional barcode can contain several types of waste, while one type of waste can be on different two-dimensional barcodes. To implement such a many-to-many relationship, an additional table is introduced, we will call it WASTE_DO_DIMENSIONAL_CODE, the row of which will have two foreign keys: one will refer to the primary key in the table TWO-DIMENSIONAL CODE and the other to the primary key in the table WASTE TYPE. Thus, any number of two-dimensional barcodes and any number of types of waste can be recorded in the WASTE_LOAD_DIMENSION_CODE table.

[0096] The database 640 stored in the data warehouse of the system 610 may be a relational database, an object-oriented database, a hierarchical database, a network database, other types of databases, some combination or extension of the above. Data representing a set of proposed two-dimensional codes, types of waste, as well as user data, can be organized in the form of tables, records, objects, other data structures, etc. Data can also be stored in special database files, special sections of hard drives, HTML files, XML files, spreadsheets, unstructured files, document files, configuration files, other files, etc. Database 640 may refer to a read-only data set, or be able to read and write to the data set. [0097] When describing aspects of the present invention, terminology associated with relational databases is sometimes used here, however, the ideas disclosed may also be applied to other types of databases, including those previously mentioned.

[0098] Step 104: based on the generated association of the two-dimensional barcode and the type of waste, the degree of loading of at least one waste collection location point is monitored.

[0099] Information obtained by a user’s mobile device 620 or otherwise obtained by accessing a network system 610 may be temporarily stored, collected, maintained, processed in one way or another, for example, by a processor and associated memory in an interface controller or other suitable processor or memory which can be represented as part of the electronics of the mobile communication device 620. Further, the collected information may be transmitted to the server 650, for example, using a transceiver. As will be described in more detail below, this approach can be used to create a history of the values of two-dimensional codes and / or types of waste that can change over time. This information, which is stored, can then be used to generate various statistics on the specified data and a more detailed analysis.

[00100] At the point of collection of waste, additional control over filling the waste compartments can be carried out by reading a two-dimensional code on the container or upon detecting the movement of the waste placed in the container.

[00101] In some embodiments of the invention, information exchange over the network of the waste collection vehicle 660 and the server 650 can be monitored. If a specific event is detected associated with the waste collection vehicle 660, a processor located inside the interface controller or otherwise integrated into the vehicle, may be able to perform a function in response to detection a specific event by transmitting data associated with the event between the server 650, for example, with a mobile device 620 for communication of the user and the vehicle 660 collecting waste.

[00102] In some embodiments, the invention may be monitored:

[00103] the tare number;

[00104] type of waste;

[00105] the location of the garbage container in which the waste container is located;

[00106] user data, such as full name, gender, date of birth, address of residence / registration / registration, passport data, etc.

[00107] Additionally, statistics are generated on the weight, volume, types of waste, and so on at the waste collection point for further analysis.

[00108] In this technical solution, it is monitored continuously or periodically based on the generated connection of the two-dimensional bar code and the type of waste shown in FIG. 7, the loading level of at least one waste collection location point, and certain parameters can be monitored, for example, the total weight of all waste in a garbage container or the weight for each type of waste. If all monitored parameters are within the predefined norms, such registered data can be sequentially summarized and / or deleted, and all information on them can be transferred to the application server, etc.

[00109] One of the parameters monitored is the rate of waste filling at the point 630 of the waste collection location in the garbage container, and therefore, the system 610 can register a sample of the rate of waste filling at certain time intervals.

During the prescribed period of time, if no events of interest are detected, then the system 610 can only maintain the highest speed, calculated average speed and / or other measurement. Based on these data, they plan to send funds 660 for transporting waste to the point 630 of the waste collection location, which greatly optimizes the waste collection process, and also improves the quality and speed of waste collection.

[00110] If, based on the relationship between the two-dimensional code and the type of waste, an increased degree of waste loading is determined, for example, the detection of one type of waste that exceeds a certain predetermined mass value, then the registered content can be saved, for example, by transmitting information to server 650. Thus, for example, if the degree of loading of the type of waste or other measured parameters (for example, in principle the entire set of waste) exceeds a threshold or other specific condition, then you can collect, broadcast, etc. specific data in the event report, and this data can be transmitted to the server 650.

[00111] In some embodiments of the invention, server farms, workstations, laptop computers, tablets, mobile phones, game consoles, and network devices having the necessary processing power can be used as server 650. Such devices may also provide a variety of computing components.

[00112] These types of servers 650 can be used in this technical solution, individually or in combination, such as web servers, file servers, application servers, multimedia servers, peer-to-peer coordination servers, database servers, mail servers, monitoring servers physical parameters and servers of automation of supervisory control and data collection (SCADA).

[00113] Also in this technical solution, web browsers, file sharing applications, multimedia visualization applications, and data-driven client applications can be used to provide communication with the user. In addition, client applications can be executed in various contexts, such as native execution on a user’s mobile communication device 620; controlled execution, facilitated by one or more control runtime environments; virtual execution within a virtual environment, such as a web application running inside a web browser; and insulated execution inside an insulated structure.

[00114] In some embodiments, server scripts may be used on server 650 that can specify many types of processing related to a local event (for example, a garbage truck heading to a waste collection location), such as a local event message sent to a client application on a device 620, registering the occurrence of a local event or applying additional logic during processing of a local event. In addition, the server application 650 may be configured to notify the client application on device 620 of the completion of the server script. For example, an event subscription request provided by a client application on device 620 may set an application callback that should be activated after a local event has been detected and / or after completion of the execution of the server-side script (s) associated with the local event.

[00115] The server scenarios described in this invention, for example, automatically directing garbage collection tools 660, can be developed using a variety of technologies, including JavaScript on the server side 650, which uses the Node.js module and can be executed by the local web server 650.

[00116] The aforementioned processor of the system 610 may represent an apparatus for processing instructions that may be actuated to process instructions of the above method. In some embodiments of the invention, this processor may be a general purpose processor (e.g., a general purpose microprocessor of the type often used as a central processing unit (CPU) in a desktop computer, laptop computer, and computers like them). Alternatively, this processor may be a special purpose processor. Examples of suitable special-purpose processors include: network processors, data processors, cryptographic processors, graphics processors, coprocessors, embedded processors, digital signal processing processors (DSP processors) and controllers (e.g. microcontrollers), to name but a few, but not limited to them. A processor can be any processor from among: a variety of processors for calculations with a complex set of instructions (CISC processors), a variety of processors for calculations with a reduced set of instructions (RISC processors), a variety of processors with super-long instruction words (VLIW processors), various hybrids of these processors or other types of processors without any exceptions.

[00117] Step 105: directing the means 660 for transporting the waste to a point 630 of the waste collection location where this user 600 places them when they are full.

[00118] Thus, for example, a processor located remotely or on a waste collection vehicle 660, for example, as available inside an interface controller or otherwise integrated directly into the waste collection vehicle 660, may be able to implement at least one the function of tracking the location of the vehicle 660 by radio communication with the server 650 through the transceiver and by interacting with at least one component of the vehicle 660 that collects waste Eve rail vehicle 660, e.g., exchanging data with at least one of its vehicle control module.

[00119] Based on the physical parameters of the capacity

(fillability) of the garbage container at the point of collection waste at point 630, as well as container capacity, the counter implemented on server 650 monitors and calculates occupancy. As physical parameters of filling, the weight of the garbage container, the volume of the entire garbage container, the volume of the compartments of the garbage container for a special type of garbage, and so on, which is obvious to a person skilled in the art, can be used. In the event of an event of a waste container filling up with waste, a server 660 is sent to this place by the server 650 to collect waste.

[00120] The waste collection vehicle 660 may be guided by the system 610 along the most optimal route to the waste collection points where, for example, garbage containers are installed. The optimal route for the waste collection vehicle 660 at the waste collection points can be found using a heuristic algorithm known in the art. As such an algorithm, one can use, but are not limited to, the method of genetic algorithms, the Clark-Wright method, the ant colony algorithm, the nearest neighbor method, the method of incorporating the nearest city, the method of cheapest inclusion, etc.

[00121] In some embodiments, the optimal route of the waste collection vehicle 660 may take into account the routes and movement of other waste collection vehicles and the route to the waste recycling plant.

[00122] The considered methods for solving the route-building problem suggest that there is a complete column G, in which the costs of all transfers between all nodes cij, which are points of waste collection from users, are determined. Costs are usually considered proportional to the travel distances of the vehicle for collecting waste between nodes of the transport graph. The graph is conveniently represented by a matrix (table) of route costs, in which the rows and columns correspond to the vertices of the complete transport graph. However, in practice, the process of creating, maintaining up to date and the use of such a matrix is associated with significant difficulties. In this technical solution, they can build such a matrix on the basis of GIS, in which a transport graph of the entire territory for waste collection is maintained. In this regard, algorithms for finding the optimal path between two points on a graph based on the well-known Dijkstra algorithm can be used. A feature of the application of these algorithms in this class of information systems is the need for their repeated use.

[00123] In some embodiments, if a specific location is allocated for a particular type of waste, then a specific service department may come for it. If all types of waste are collected in one place, then the containers are separated by type of waste at a sorting / processing plant.
