HARDWARE-SOFTWARE SYSTEM FOR RECEIVING POLYETHYLENE BOTTLES AND ALUMINUM CANS Russian patent published in 2020 - IPC G07F11/00 

FIELD: household waste collection; data processing.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to equipment for separate collection of solid domestic wastes, systems for automated analysis of solid domestic wastes (SDW), for vending machines. Software and hardware system for receiving polyethylene bottles and aluminum cans comprises at least one housing accommodating a container identification compartment comprising at least one video camera, microcontroller configured to process primary data for identifying containers and issuing commands to actuators to receive containers and pay compensation or failure in said operations, a container storage compartment and a reward distribution device, wherein the housing is equipped with a manual compactor, and the microcontroller is configured to recognize the pressed container moving on the tray, or is configured to communicate with the remote server, at least to transmit to the server information allowing to recognize the container, and to receive commands from the server to receive the package, or to pay compensation, or to refuse in the specified operations. Microcontroller may be configured to communicate with a remote server comprising databases and a program code of the trained neural network responsible for analyzing images and metadata received from the microcontroller. Hardware-software system may contain a user identification means which enables non-cash payment for the received container through a remote server. Container storage compartment is at least one big bag.

EFFECT: invention is intended, mainly, for collection of polyethylene bottles and aluminum cans.
