Abstract

The present invention provides a receiving method, system and device for on-vehicle logistics. The method includes: receiving a first control signal from a remote terminal, and activating a camera pointing to a designated space; sending video information of the designated space to the remote terminal; receiving a second control signal from the remote terminal, and opening a predetermined space of a vehicle; and receiving a third control signal from the remote terminal, and locking the predetermined space. According to the receiving method for on-vehicle logistics of the present invention, as the vehicle is used as the receiving place for receiving articles delivered by the deliveryman, insecure factors caused when the deliveryman directly enters houses to deliver the articles are avoided, and the phenomenon that the articles cannot be received because recipients are not at receiving addresses can also be avoided.

Claims

1. A receiving method for on-vehicle logistics, comprising:

receiving a first control signal from a remote terminal, and activating a camera pointing to a designated space;

sending video information of the designated space to the remote terminal;

receiving a second control signal from the remote terminal, and opening a predetermined space of a vehicle; and

receiving a third control signal from the remote terminal, and locking the predetermined space.

2. The receiving method of claim 1, wherein before the step of receiving the first control signal from the remote terminal, the receiving method further comprises:

receiving an acousto-optic control signal from the remote terminal to emit flicker and/or sound by the vehicle.

3. The receiving method of claim 2, wherein before the step of receiving the acousto-optic control signal from the remote terminal, the receiving method further comprises:

sending GPS positioning information of the vehicle to the remote terminal.

4. The receiving method of claim 1, further comprising:

automatically activating the camera according to searched positioning information of a deliveryman; and

locking the predetermined space by an external close operation.

5. The receiving method of claim 1, wherein the camera comprises:

a first camera used for identifying a deliveryman; and

a second camera arranged in the predetermined space and used for identifying articles.

6. A receiving device for on-vehicle logistics, comprising:

a network communication module configured to communicate with a remote terminal through a wireless network;

a camera configured to be activated according to a first control signal from the remote terminal, shoot video information of a designated space, and send the video information to the remote terminal; and

a vehicle control unit configured to open a predetermined space of a vehicle according to a second control signal from the remote terminal, and lock the predetermined space according to a third control signal from the remote terminal.

7. The receiving device of claim 6, wherein the camera comprises:

a first camera used for identifying a deliveryman; and

a second camera arranged in the predetermined space and used for identifying articles.

8. The receiving device of claim 6, wherein the predetermined space is a trunk of the vehicle.

9. The receiving device of claim 6, wherein a trunk of the vehicle has a first space close to an interior of the vehicle and a second space close to tail of the vehicle, the first space and the second space are isolated from each other, and the predetermined space is the second space.

10. A receiving system for on-vehicle logistics, comprising:

a video activating module configured to receive a first control signal from a remote terminal, and activate a camera pointing to a designated space;

a video sending module configured to send video information of the designated space to the remote terminal;

a space opening module configured to receive a second control signal from the remote terminal, and open a predetermined space of a vehicle; and

a space locking module configured to receive a third control signal from the remote terminal, and lock the predetermined space.
