In recent years, beach tourism has become a popular choice for people for short vacations, especially during weekend vacations and temporary seaside sightseeing. For comfortable walking, many visitors choose to wear sports shoes or other appropriate footwear, but often face inconvenience when playing in the sand or entering the water. The design is based on the 'one pack of multi-functional' light quantitative shoe bags, and builds a ready-to-use, ready-to-return and regenerated sand beach casual system, so that tourists can easily load their shoes when they take off their shoes and enter the sand, and there is no need to get tangled when leaving the beach., and they can be recycled at the vending machine, recycled, or folded and taken away as a daily collection companion, so as to say goodbye to the burden of carrying equipment and environmental protection anxiety.
  • System UI Design, shoe bags, and vending machines Users can enter the mini program through the scenic area vending machine or official website entrance, and complete one-stop operations such as equipment purchase, environmental recycling, and venue navigation； Synchronize the construction of a visual ranking system for mini programs to incentivize public participation through a social environmental achievement system. After the tourist scans the code, the cabinet door opens, and the vending machine monitors the weight changes of the shelves and detects the movements of the camera to accurately count. After 3 seconds of picking up the goods, the cabinet door automatically closes, completing the deduction or deposit freeze. Each shoe bag will be printed with a unique barcode at the end and tail, and the recycling bin is equipped with a camera that can distinguish the barcode of the shoe bag by recognizing it, without the need for manual operation by the user. After verification, a reward badge will be issued to their account.
  • Multiple color schemes There are multiple color options for shoes and bags for tourists to choose from
  • Actual usage scenario When tourists step onto the beach, they only need to scan the QR code at an authorized vending machine to purchase a shoe bag, which can be filled with shoes and personal belongings to enter the beach for play. Before leaving, tourists can choose to put their shoe bags into the recycling hole of the vending machine to receive an exclusive environmental badge, or choose to fold them into palm sized pieces and take them away as their next storage companion. The recycled shoe bags will be sorted and sent to the recycling factory for processing into new shoe bags.
