Abstract

The present application relates to the field of logistics. Disclosed are a monitoring method for a shared recyclable logistics tool and a system thereof, capable of timely and accurately finding a recyclable logistics tool which may be stolen. In the invention, a recyclable logistics tool may be time-shared by a plurality of users; a server stores valid area sets corresponding to each user, each valid area set comprising one or more geographic areas; the server continuously obtains a tool identifier and positioning information of the recyclable logistics tool; a valid area set corresponding to the current user of the recyclable logistics tool is queried according to the tool identifier; and if it is determined, according to the positioning information, that the recyclable logistics tool camps outside the geographic areas in the found valid area set and the camping duration exceeds a predetermined threshold, an alarm is given.

First claim

1 . A monitoring method for a shared recyclable logistics tool, comprising the following steps:
A recyclable logistics tool is shared by multiple users in a time-shared manner, valid area sets corresponding to each user are stored in a server, and each valid area set contains one or more geographic areas; Obtaining continuously the tool identifier and positioning information of the recyclable logistics tools by the server; Querying the valid area set corresponding to the current user of the recyclable logistics tool according to the tool identifier; Giving out an alarm, if it is determined, according to the positioning information, that the recyclable logistics tool camp outside the geographic areas in the queried valid area set and the camping duration exceeds a predetermined threshold.

2 . The monitoring method for a shared recyclable logistics tool according to claim 1 , wherein the recyclable logistics tools comprising a wireless communication module for transmitting a wireless signal carrying a tool identifier;
The step of “obtaining continuously the tool identifier and positioning information of the recyclable logistics tools by the server” comprising the following sub-steps: obtaining the positioning information of the recyclable logistics tool according to the wireless signal carrying the tool identifier continuously transmitted by the recyclable logistics tool.

3 . The monitoring method for a shared recyclable logistics tool according to claim 1 , wherein the step of giving out an alarm comprising the following sub-steps:
Sending alarm information to a terminal device used by the current user of the recyclable logistics tool.

4 . The monitoring method for a shared recyclable logistics tool according to claim 1 , wherein the server further has one or more blacklist area sets which are set in advance, and each blacklist area set contains one or more geographic areas
The step of “obtaining continuously the tool identifier and positioning information of the recyclable logistics tools by the server” further includes the following steps:
Giving out an alarm, if it is determined, according to the positioning information, that the recyclable logistics tool is in any geographic area in the blacklist area set.

5 . The monitoring method for a shared recyclable logistics tool according to claim 1 , wherein the valid area set is set in the following manner:
The server continuously obtains the tool identifier and positioning information of the recyclable logistics tool, wherein the positioning information includes a geographic position and a positioning time; Querying the current user corresponding to the tool identifier according to the tool identifier which corresponding to the positioning information, so as to establish a correspondence relationship between the positioning information and the current user; Establishing a geographic area set for each user respectively by collecting the positioning information corresponding to the same user; In each geographic area of the geographic area set, at least once, the user's recyclable logistics tool having a camping duration which is exceeds a predetermined threshold in the geographic area.

6 . The monitoring method for a shared recyclable logistics tool according to claim 1 , wherein the step of “Obtaining continuously the tool identifier and positioning information of the recyclable logistics tools by the server” thereafter, further comprising the following step:
Obtaining a possible travelling path corresponding to the current user of the recyclable logistics tool according to the tool identifier by the server;
Giving out an alarm, if the positioning information is deviates from the possible travelling path by more than a predetermined threshold.

7 . The monitoring method for a shared recyclable logistics tool according to claim 6 , wherein the possible travelling path corresponding to the current user is calculated according to location points in the current user's valid area set combined with a geographic information system.

8 . The monitoring method for a shared recyclable logistics tool according to claim 6 , wherein the possible travelling path which corresponding to the current user is a historical travelling path of the current user.

9 . A monitoring system for shared recyclable logistics tools, comprising a server and a plurality of recyclable logistics tools shared by multiple users in a time-shared manner;
The server comprises: A storage unit, configured to store valid area sets corresponding to each user, and each valid area set includes one or more geographic areas; An acquisition unit, configured to continuously obtain the tool identifier and positioning information of the recyclable logistics tool; A query unit, configured to query the valid area set corresponding to the current user of the recyclable logistics tool according to the tool identifier;
A judgment unit, configured to give out an alarm, if it is determined, according to the positioning information, that the recyclable logistics tool camp outside the geographic areas in the queried valid area set and the camping duration exceeds a predetermined threshold.

10 . The monitoring system of shared recyclable logistics tools according to claim 9 , wherein the recyclable logistics tool comprising a wireless communication module and a positioning module;
The positioning module, configured to positioning the recyclable logistics tool and outputting the positioning information; The wireless communication module, configured to transmit a wireless signal carrying the tool identifier and the positioning information output by the positioning module.

11 . The monitoring system of shared recyclable logistics tools according to claim 9 , wherein the storage unit further stores one or more blacklist area sets, and each blacklist area set contains one or more geographic areas;
The judgment unit further configured to give out an alarm if it is determined that the recyclable logistics tool is in any geographic area in the blacklist area set according to the positioning information.

12 . The monitoring system of shared recyclable logistics tools according to claim 9 , wherein the server further comprising a valid area generating module configured to querying the current user corresponding to the tool identifier corresponding to the positioning information obtained by the acquisition unit, to establish the correspondence relationship between positioning information and the current user; establishing a geographic area set for each user respectively by collecting the positioning information corresponding to the same user; wherein, in each geographic area of the geographic area set, at least once, the user's recyclable logistics tool having a camping duration which is exceeds a predetermined threshold in the geographic area.
