A self-service parcel cabinet, comprising: a main-body part (1), a sorting apparatus (2), a parking apparatus (3), and a control device. The main-body part is a hollow structure opened at the top. At least part of the hollow structure is formed by multiple self-service parcel lockers (11) surroundingly arranged. The parking apparatus is provided on top of the main-body part and comprises a drone landing pad (31). Provided on the drone landing pad is a channel allowing passing of a parcel delivered by the drone and directly facing the opening at the top. The sorting apparatus is provided within the hollow structure, communicatively connected to the control device, and capable of, when a parcel receiving instruction transmitted by the control device is received, receiving according to the parcel receiving instruction a parcel delivered by the drone, and, when a first sorting instruction transmitted by the control device is received, transferring according to the first sorting instruction the receive parcel into a self-service locker of the self-service cabinet.

A footwear apparatus, comprising receptacles, having a mechanism that automatically removes and replaces interchangeable sole footwear parts; an automatic complete new sole dispenser; an automatic new sole heel dispenser; a complete old sole recycling automatic ejection component; an old sole heel dispenser automatic ejection component; a computer-implemented method for serving footwear and footwear soles to consumers from a vending machine; a computer-implemented foot scanning device, wherein said apparatus is comprised of a configuration to automatically replace the sole or partial sole of a pair or pairs of footwear.

The present invention discloses a method, a device, and a system for checkout. Items are provided in a case with a locked door. The system and method unlock the door in response to a request from a pre-registered customer. Cameras trained on the case take a plurality of hand images of the customer and use those images to identify the item in the hand as well as whether the action is a take-up action or a put-back action. The identification of the item is done with at least one pre-trained classification model, and a second pre-trained classification model may be used to distinguish between visually similar items in the case, if the first pre-trained classification model identifies an item on a list of visually similar items. Once the item and the nature of the action are identified, a shopping list is automatically generated.

In one embodiment, a method includes receiving a request from a user computing device associated with a user for one or more items from an in-vehicle vending apparatus during a ride. The method also includes sending information associated with the user to start a vending session using the in-vehicle vending apparatus. The method also includes receiving an indication that the user associated with the user computer device accessed the in-vehicle vending apparatus. The method also includes determining that the user associated with the user computing device is the only user associated with the ride, determining that the user associated with the user computing device is one of a plurality of users associated with the ride, or determining that the user associated with the user computing device is associated with the in-vehicle vending apparatus.

A bin assembly, bin identification system and method are disclosed. A container bin assembly includes a bin body, a latching mechanism, and controller. A method includes receiving, via a communication interface, an authenticated request to access the smart container, actuating an electromechanical latch to disengage a fastening hook, thereby initiating a mechanical movement of an access component to make an internal compartment accessible, outputting, via an audiovisual element, an alert to identify the container, confirming that the electromechanical latch has re-engaged with the fastening hook, thereby securing the internal compartment, determining a change in a local inventory, and updating the local inventory in a non-volatile data store according to the change.

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a blade holder system based on radio frequency identification (RFID) technology and a controlling method thereof. The blade holder system comprises a blade dispenser, including a blade and a radio frequency identification (RFID) tag, the RFID tag including ID data relating to the blade dispenser; a blade holder, including a radio frequency identification (RFID) reading/writing unit, configured to establish a wireless communication connection with the RFID tag so as to receive the ID data from the RFID tag; and a controller, configured to receive the ID data from the RFID reading/writing unit, to compare the ID data with preset authorization data, and to enable the blade holder to use the blade in the blade dispenser when the ID data matches with the authorization data.
