Abstract
The present invention relates to a server for measuring a waste discharge amount and managing waste collection, the server calculating, on the basis of image data of a waste collection box captured by a sensor, the volume of waste discharged to the waste collection box, using the calculated volume to update the volume of waste accumulated in the waste collection box, and recording that the waste in the waste collection box has been collected by a waste collection company if a collection signal of the waste collection box is received from a terminal of the waste collection company, and thus the waste of all affiliated companies can be continuously tracked and monitored.
Claims14
A server for measuring a waste discharge amount and managing waste collection, the server comprising:
- a communication unit that receives photographing data taken by a first sensor installed in a location for photographing at least one waste collection box to photograph waste discarded in the waste collection box;
- and
- a processor that calculates a volume of the waste discarded in the waste collection box based on the received photographing data, updates the volume of waste accumulated in the waste collection box based on the calculated waste volume, and records in a memory that the waste in the collection box is collected by a waste collection company when a signal for collecting the waste collection box by the waste collection company is received,
- wherein the processor determines a type of the waste discarded in the waste collection box based on the image data included in the received photographing data and calculates a volume and weight of the waste discarded in the waste collection box based on the determined waste type and depth data included in the received photographing data,
- wherein the processor acquires GPS information of a collection company terminal of the collection company from a time when the collection signal is received and tracks the location of the collection company terminal until receiving the discard completion signal from the collection company terminal using the acquired GPS information, and records in a memory that the discard of the waste of the affiliated company is completed in a dump when the discard completion signal is received from the terminal of the collection company collecting the waste of the collection box,
- wherein the processor combines weight of waste in the waste collection box collected from the collection company and records the combined weight as a total amount of collection, and compares the total amount of collection and a discard measurement value to measure an error when receiving the discard measurement value including the weight of the waste discarded by the collection company from a second sensor which is installed in the dump to sense the discarded waste.

- wherein the processor determines a type of the waste discarded in the waste collection box based on the image data included in the received photographing data, and calculates a volume and weight of the waste discarded in the waste collection box based on the determined waste type and depth data included in the received photographing data,
- wherein the processor:
- provides information on a waste volume accumulated in at least one waste collection box assigned to the at least one affiliated company to the terminal of the waste collection company connected to the server,
- calculates an expected collection time of the waste collection box of the specified affiliated company based on current location information and collection route information of at least one collection company that bids on the waste collection of the specified affiliated company,
- examines based on the calculated expected collection time and the waste volume accumulated in the waste collection box to select one collection company among the collection companies that made the bid, and
- then provides a collection right of the waste collection box to the selected collection company.

A method for measuring a waste discharge amount and managing waste collection executed by a computer, the method comprising:
- receiving photographing data taken by a first sensor installed in a location for photographing at least one waste collection box to photograph waste discarded in the waste collection box;
- calculating a volume of the waste discarded in the waste collection box based on the received photographing data;
- updating the volume of waste accumulated in the waste collection box based on the calculated waste volume;
- and
- recording in a memory that the waste in the collection box is collected by a specified waste collection company when a collection signal of the waste collection box is received from a terminal of the specified waste collection company,
- wherein the calculating the volume of the waste determines a type of the waste discarded in the waste collection box based on the image data included in the received photographing data, and calculates a volume and weight of the waste discarded in the waste collection box based on the determined waste type and depth data included in the received photographing data,
- wherein the computer:
- acquires GPS information of a collection company terminal of the collection company from a time when the collection signal is received and tracks the location of the collection company terminal until receiving the discard completion signal from the collection company terminal using the acquired GPS information,
- records in a memory that the discard of the waste of the affiliated company is completed in a dump when the discard completion signal is received from the terminal of the collection company collecting the waste of the collection box,
- combines weight of waste in the waste collection box collected from the collection company and records the combined weight as a total amount of collection, and
- compares the total amount of collection and a discard measurement value to measure an error when receiving the discard measurement value including the weight of the waste discarded by the collection company from a second sensor which is installed in the dump to sense the discarded waste.
