System and method for managing unattended store remotely

A method for managing an unmanned store remotely, comprising:

• receiving a request for going out/leaving from a user;
• determining whether the user's ticket is valid;
• determining whether the user's usage time has been exceeded when the ticket is valid;
• and
• opening a door by controlling a short signal provided from a solid state relay when the user's usage time has not been exceeded,
• wherein the opening a door comprises:
• searching, by a service server, for a serial number of a smart plug that controls the door;
• transmitting, by the service server, a door opening command to a Mqtt server based on the serial number;
• transmitting, by the Mqtt server, a smart plug power ON command corresponding to the serial number to the smart plug;
• and
• after the smart plug is switched to ON state according to the smart plug power ON command, supplying power to the solid state relay by the smart plug supplying power to an adapter,
• wherein the smart plug is connected to the Mqtt server through a Wi-Fi network,
• wherein, by customizing a control code controlling the smart plug, the smart plug automatically provides power to the adapter to open the door when the smart plug detects that a connection with the Wi-Fi network is lost, and the smart plug cut off the power provided to the adapter to close the door when the smart plug detects that the smart plug is reconnected to the Wi-Fi network.

A method for managing an unmanned store remotely, comprising:

• receiving, by a service server, a light bulb control request including an unmanned store identifier (shop_id) from a store operator device;
• identifying, by the service server, an unmanned store corresponding to the unmanned store identifier (shop_id);
• determining, by the service server, whether the identified unmanned store is an integrated kiosk setting using only an entry/exit kiosk that handles all entering, going out, and leaving, or a separated kiosk setting using a separately configured an entry kiosk and an exit kiosk;
• transmitting, by the service server, a light bulb control command corresponding to the light bulb control request to the entry/exit kiosk when it is determined that the identified unmanned store is the integrated kiosk setting;
• transmitting, by the service server, the light bulb control command only to the exit kiosk and does not transmitting the light bulb control command to the entry kiosk when it is determined that the identified unmanned store is the separated kiosk setting;
• and
• controlling, by the entry/exit kiosk or the exit kiosk which has received the light bulb control command, a light bulb by transmitting the light bulb control command received from the service server to a bridge,
• wherein the entry/exit kiosk or the exit kiosk and the bridge are configured on the same bandwidth network through a Wi-Fi router,
• wherein the controlling the light bulb by transmitting the light bulb control command received from the service server to a bridge, comprises:
• when the service server receives a desired color value or a desired brightness value of the light bulb together with the unmanned store identifier (shop_id) from the store operator device, controlling color or brightness of the light bulb using the received color value or brightness value, and
• when the service server does not receive the desired color value or the desired brightness value of the light bulb from the store operator device, controlling color or brightness of the light bulb using a basic color value or a basic brightness value of the light bulb preset for each store.
