Detailed Description

Exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. While exemplary embodiments of the invention are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the invention can be embodied in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art.

Fig. 1 shows a schematic flow chart of an order delivery method according to an embodiment of the present invention, and as can be seen from fig. 1, the order delivery method according to the embodiment of the present invention at least includes the following steps S102 to S108.

Step S102, at least one to-be-delivered order delivered by the intelligent delivery equipment is obtained based on the online order platform.

The intelligent distribution equipment is a robot capable of realizing an automatic distribution function, and can automatically acquire a distribution object according to the target goods taking point address information of an order and automatically distribute the distribution object according to the target distribution point address information of the order. The method is mainly used for realizing the taking and delivery of the Chinese food in the take-out order. The intelligent distribution equipment can automatically set a route according to a food delivery destination and realize autonomous order distribution according to a destination floor, and can automatically get on and off the elevator and avoid obstacles and the like through intelligent design.

Optionally, when acquiring the order to be distributed, which is distributed by the intelligent distribution device, at least one merchant associated with the intelligent distribution device may be identified first, and when the order platform on the detection line creates at least one first order associated with the merchant, the first order is acquired as the order to be distributed.

The association relationship between the intelligent distribution device and the merchant may be preset, that is, the association relationship is established between the merchant and the intelligent distribution device in advance, where one merchant corresponds to multiple intelligent distribution devices, or multiple merchants correspond to one intelligent distribution device, and the association relationship may be specifically set according to the number of merchants, the number of intelligent distribution devices, and the capacity information of the intelligent distribution devices (such as distribution timeliness, average distribution time, single distributable amount, and the like), which is not limited by this method. Further, after the association relationship is established between the intelligent distribution device and the merchant, when the online order platform creates the first order associated with the merchant, the first order may be directly distributed to the intelligent distribution device associated with the merchant, and the intelligent distribution device performs subsequent processing.

In addition, if one merchant is associated with a plurality of intelligent distribution devices, balanced distribution can be performed according to the number of orders received by each intelligent distribution device, so that distribution timeliness of the orders to be distributed is guaranteed.

For example, the intelligent distribution devices associated with the a merchant are the a device and the B device, and assuming that the order to be distributed managed by the a merchant is generated, the order quantity received by each of the a device and the B device may be first, and then the order to be distributed is distributed to the intelligent distribution device with the smaller order quantity received.

In an optional embodiment of the present invention, at least one second order distributed by the online order platform and distributed by the intelligent distribution device may also be obtained as an order to be distributed; and the second order is an order which is distributed by combining the order information of the order to be distributed and/or the transport capacity information of the intelligent distribution equipment after any order is created by the online order platform.

In the embodiment of the present invention, before step S102, an order creating request of any user may be received through an on-line order platform, and order information corresponding to the order creating request is obtained; the order information comprises goods taking point information, delivery point information and/or article information; and creating the order to be delivered corresponding to the order creating request based on the order information.

That is to say, in the embodiment of the present invention, the creation and management of the order may be implemented through an online order platform, that is, the user selects and places the order based on the online order platform, for example, the online order platform may be a takeaway platform, and the user may implement the selection and purchase of the takeaway food based on the online order platform. When the online order platform receives an order creation request of a user, corresponding pick-up point information, delivery point information and/or article information and the like can be identified, merchant information, other information of a receiver and the like can also be included, and further an order to be delivered can be generated based on the information. In the order creating process, whether the position of the goods taking point and the position of the goods delivering point are in the same preset area or not can be automatically identified (whether the positions of the goods taking point and the position of the goods delivering point belong to the same building, the same cell and the like or not) and if the positions of the goods taking point and the position of the goods delivering point belong to the same building, the same cell and the like, the intelligent equipment delivery label can be directly added and distributed.

In practical application, the order to be distributed and the distribution of the distribution resources are realized through the online order platform, so in the embodiment of the invention, the obtained order to be distributed and distributed by the intelligent distribution equipment can also be the order to be distributed and distributed to the intelligent distribution equipment through the online order platform. That is, after the online order platform creates any order, the order information of the order may be obtained first, where the order information may include address information of a target pick point and address information of a target delivery point; further, whether the target pick-up point and the target delivery point belong to the same preset area may be determined based on the order information, and assuming whether the target pick-up point and the target delivery point belong to the same preset area, the intelligent delivery equipment in the preset area may be obtained, and in particular, the order in which the second address information of the target delivery point is located on the same floor of the same building may be distributed to the same intelligent delivery equipment. In addition, the capacity information (for example, delivery time limit, average delivery time, single deliverable amount, etc.) of each intelligent delivery device may be combined, and after the intelligent delivery device is specified based on the capacity information of each intelligent delivery device, the order may be used as the to-be-delivered order for the specified intelligent delivery device. The same preset area is a preset distribution area of the intelligent distribution equipment, and may be the same building, or a plurality of buildings and the same cell which can be intercommunicated in the building, and may be specifically divided according to different building layouts, which is not limited in the present invention.

It should be noted that each intelligent distribution device may set an upper limit for the number of orders to be distributed, for example, each intelligent distribution device may process 4 orders to be distributed at the same time, and therefore, before acquiring at least one order to be distributed by the intelligent distribution device in step S102, the number of orders to be distributed of the intelligent distribution device may also be acquired, and the intelligent distribution device whose number of orders to be distributed is greater than a preset value (e.g., 0) is used as the device for distributing the order to be distributed. For example, the device a, the device B, and the device C are all intelligent distribution devices of the building X, and when the online order platform creates an order to be distributed associated with any merchant in the building X, the number of the distributable orders of the device a, the device B, and the device C may be obtained to be 0, 1, and 1, respectively, and at this time, the order to be distributed may be distributed to the device B or the device C.

Assuming that there are a plurality of (two or more) intelligent distribution devices capable of distributing orders greater than the preset value, one intelligent distribution device may be selected from the plurality of intelligent distribution devices to distribute the order according to the relative distance between each intelligent distribution device and the target pick-up point, for example, the order to be distributed is distributed to the intelligent distribution device closest to the target pick-up point.

Step S104, identifying first address information of a target pick-up point and second address information of the target delivery point corresponding to the order to be delivered; the first address information and the second address information belong to the same preset area.

After the order to be delivered is obtained, first address information of a target pick-up point (such as a merchant or a building hall, a front desk and the like) corresponding to the order to be delivered and second address information of the target delivery point address can be obtained. In the embodiment of the present invention, the first address information and the second address information may belong to the same preset region. The same preset area referred in this embodiment may be the same building, or a plurality of buildings which can be intercommunicated in the building, and may be specifically divided according to different building layouts, which is not limited in the present invention.

And S106, controlling the intelligent distribution equipment to travel to the target goods taking point based on the first address information, and acquiring a distribution object corresponding to the order to be distributed.

After the first address information of the target pick-up point is determined, the intelligent distribution equipment can be controlled to drive to the target pick-up point so as to obtain a distribution object of the order to be distributed.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the intelligent distribution equipment may be provided with a plurality of receiving spaces (e.g., bays) for receiving distribution objects, and optionally, the receiving spaces are independent from each other and are separately managed in a closed manner by an electronic lock. After the intelligent distribution equipment reaches the target goods taking point, notification information can be sent to a merchant or other related personnel in charge of placing the distribution object, and the merchant places the distribution object of the order to be distributed in the accommodating space of the intelligent distribution equipment so as to obtain the distribution object corresponding to the order to be distributed.

Optionally, an interactive interface may be further arranged on the intelligent delivery device, after the intelligent delivery device reaches the target pick-up point, the order to be delivered associated with the target pick-up point and the accommodation space in which the delivery objects in the order to be delivered are correspondingly stored may be displayed on the interactive interface, and after it is detected that the delivery objects corresponding to the order to be delivered are placed in the corresponding accommodation space, the accommodation space may be closed and the electronic lock may be added. Furthermore, the electronic password of the electronic lock can be sent to the user of the order to be delivered, and then the user takes the corresponding delivery object through the electronic password.

For example, the intelligent distribution device may be respectively provided with a compartment 1, a compartment 2, a compartment 3, and a compartment 4, the sizes of the internal spaces of the compartments may be the same or different, after the order to be distributed is obtained, the compartments may be distributed to the distribution objects of the order to be distributed, such as the distribution compartment 1, when the intelligent device is controlled to reach the target waiting position of the merchant, as shown in fig. 2, the distribution objects of the order to be distributed and the compartments 1 where the distribution objects are placed may be displayed on the interactive interface, when the distribution objects are detected to be placed in the compartments 1, the compartments 1 may be closed and the compartments 1 may be managed by the electronic lock, fig. 2 only schematically shows the display mode of the interactive interface, and in practical application, the display content and the display mode of the interactive interface may be adjusted according to different requirements. Meanwhile, the electronic password of the compartment 1 can be sent to the user of the order to be delivered, and the user opens the compartment 1 based on the electronic password and then takes out the delivery object, such as food. Based on the method provided by the embodiment of the invention, the distribution objects of the orders to be distributed can be effectively managed, and the distribution safety of the distribution objects can be ensured by independently managing the accommodating space of the intelligent distribution objects.

And S108, controlling the intelligent distribution equipment carrying the distribution objects to travel to the target distribution points based on the second address information.

After the delivery object corresponding to the order to be delivered is obtained, the intelligent delivery equipment carrying the delivery object is controlled to drive to the target delivery point based on the second address information of the target delivery point. The target distribution point may be set in advance according to the second address information of the target distribution point, and after the second address information of the target distribution point is obtained, the target distribution point may be determined at the same time.

As described above, after the distribution object of the order to be distributed is placed in the corresponding accommodating space, the electronic password of the electronic lock is sent to the user of the order to be distributed, and the user takes the corresponding distribution object through the electronic password. Optionally, after the intelligent distribution device travels to the target delivery position of the user, notification information may be sent to the user to notify the user of reaching the target delivery position and taking the distribution object. The electronic password of the accommodating space of the intelligent distribution equipment where the distribution object is located can be sent to the user along with the notification message.

In an optional embodiment of the present invention, when controlling the intelligent distribution equipment to travel to the target distribution point based on the second address information, the following manner may be used:

s1-1, an elevator arriving at the floor at which the destination dispatch point is located is determined based on the second address information.

In general, when the second address information of the target delivery point includes the specific position of the target delivery point, such as the a-seat 15 floor of a certain building, and the elevator which can reach the floor where the target delivery point is located is determined, the elevator control strategy of the building can be acquired prior to the communication connection of the control system of the building where the target delivery point is located, and the elevator which can reach the floor where the target delivery point is located is determined.

And S1-2, acquiring the first position of the intelligent distribution equipment and the second position of the elevator, and generating a driving path of the intelligent distribution equipment according to the first position and the second position.

In an embodiment of the invention, after the elevator is determined, the first position of the intelligent distribution equipment and the second position of the elevator are determined. The first position of the intelligent distribution device can be the current position of the intelligent distribution device, and the second position of the elevator can be the setting position of the elevator in the building. When the second position of the elevator is obtained, the number of the elevator can be obtained firstly, and then the second position of the elevator is obtained according to the number of the elevator. After the position of the intelligent distribution equipment and the position of the elevator are respectively obtained, a driving path from the first position to the second position can be generated, the driving path is a partial path for the intelligent distribution equipment to take the elevator for order distribution, when the driving path is generated, building layout information can be automatically obtained based on a control system of the building, or the building layout information is transmitted to the intelligent distribution equipment or a server of the intelligent distribution equipment in advance, and then the driving path from the first position to the second position is generated by the intelligent distribution equipment or the server of the intelligent distribution equipment.

And S1-3, controlling the intelligent distribution equipment carrying the distribution objects to travel to the elevator according to the travel path, and taking the elevator to reach the target distribution point. Specifically, the intelligent distribution equipment carrying the distribution objects can be controlled to run according to the running path; when the distance between the intelligent distribution equipment and the elevator is detected to be smaller than the set distance, an elevator taking request is sent to a control system of the elevator; and the control system receiving the elevator responds to the elevator taking command generated by the elevator taking request, and controls the intelligent distribution equipment to take the elevator to the target distribution point. The intelligent distribution equipment and the elevator can carry out distance communication through Bluetooth or other wireless communication equipment, when the distance between the intelligent distribution equipment and the elevator is detected to be smaller than the set distance, an elevator taking request can be sent to a control system of the elevator through the intelligent distribution equipment, the elevator taking request can contain elevator taking information (such as a target floor) of the intelligent distribution equipment, after the control system of the elevator receives the elevator taking request, the elevator can be controlled to run to the floor where the intelligent distribution object is located, and after the intelligent distribution equipment is detected to enter the elevator, the elevator is automatically controlled to run to the target floor, so that the intelligent distribution equipment is controlled to take the elevator to reach the target distribution point.

In practical application, after the intelligent distribution device reaches the target floor, a certain distance is left between the intelligent distribution device and the target distribution point, and at this time, a driving path can be generated based on the position of the elevator and the target distribution point so as to control the intelligent distribution device to take the elevator to reach the target delivery position of the target distribution point.

Based on the method provided by the embodiment of the invention, the intelligent distribution equipment automatically realizes the acquisition and distribution of the distribution objects in the orders to be distributed, the full-flow distribution capacity of the intelligent distribution equipment is perfected and optimized, the resource waste of manual distribution resources in the same preset area is reduced, the distribution resources are reasonably utilized, and meanwhile, the distribution time of the orders in the same preset area is effectively reduced, so that the distribution timeliness is improved.

In the above embodiment, it is mentioned that the same intelligent distribution device may receive orders to be distributed from a plurality of target pickup points, and at this time, the intelligent distribution device needs to obtain different distribution objects from each target pickup point, which is also important for setting the priority order of reaching each target pickup point.

In an optional embodiment of the invention, when a plurality of orders to be delivered are provided, before the intelligent delivery equipment is controlled to drive to the delivery object of the target pick-up point, a plurality of target pick-up points corresponding to the plurality of orders to be delivered can be identified, and the number of first orders corresponding to each target pick-up point is counted; and screening out first goods taking points from the target goods taking points according to the quantity of the first orders.

For example, orders to be distributed of the intelligent distribution equipment are an order 1, an order 2, an order 3 and an order 4 respectively, target goods taking points in the orders to be distributed may be the same or different, at this time, the target goods taking points corresponding to the orders to be distributed are identified first, wherein the order 1 corresponds to a target goods taking point A and a target distribution point A; the order 2 corresponds to a target goods taking point A and a target delivery point B; the order 3 corresponds to a target goods taking point B and a target delivery point A; order 4 corresponds to target pick point C, target delivery point C.

In the embodiment of the invention, before each target goods taking point obtains a delivery object corresponding to each order to be delivered, the order quantity of each target goods taking point is counted, wherein the order quantity of the target goods taking point A is 2, the order quantity of the target goods taking point B is 1, and the order quantity of the target goods taking point C is 1; therefore, the target pick-up point A can be used as a first pick-up point to process the orders to be delivered corresponding to the target pick-up point A in priority.

Further, when the step S106 is executed to obtain the delivery objects of the orders to be delivered corresponding to the target delivery points, the method may include:

s2-1, controlling the intelligent distribution equipment to drive to the first goods taking point based on the first address information of the first goods taking point, and acquiring a first target distribution object of at least one first target order corresponding to the first goods taking point.

And S2-2, controlling the intelligent distribution equipment to drive to the positions of other target pickup points except the first pickup point in the plurality of target pickup points, and acquiring distribution objects of orders to be distributed corresponding to the other target pickup points.

Similarly, taking the orders 1 to 4 in the above embodiments as examples, the target pickup point a is used as a first pickup point, the intelligent distribution equipment may be preferentially controlled to reach the target pickup point a, the distribution objects of the

orders

1 and 2 are obtained, and after it is detected that the distribution objects of the

orders

1 and 2 are both placed in the accommodating space in the intelligent distribution equipment, the intelligent distribution equipment may be controlled to travel to the target pickup point B and the target pickup point C, so as to obtain the distribution objects of the to-be-distributed distribution orders of the target pickup point B and the target pickup point C, respectively.

When the distribution objects of the order to be distributed corresponding to the other target pickup points are obtained in the step S2-2, the relative distances between the other target pickup points except the first pickup point among the plurality of target pickup points and the first pickup point may be calculated; and controlling the intelligent distribution equipment to travel to other target pickup points according to the relative distance in sequence, and acquiring distribution objects of the order to be distributed corresponding to the other target pickup points.

That is, when the order of the target pick-up point B and the target pick-up point C is set, the relative distances between the target pick-up point B and the target pick-up point C and the target pick-up point a may be calculated, so as to control the intelligent distribution device to preferentially reach the target pick-up point closer to the target pick-up point a, and finally control the intelligent distribution device to reach the target pick-up point farther from the target pick-up point a. As described above, the layout information of the building may be acquired by the control system of the building, and when the vehicle travels between the target pickup points, the vehicle may travel after planning a route based on the positions of the target pickup points and the building information. In addition, because the positions of the target pick-up points are known in the building and the layout of the building is also known, accurate time prediction can be carried out on the orders to be distributed in the same preset area, and therefore the driving path of the intelligent distribution equipment is reasonably planned.

Based on the method provided by the embodiment of the invention, the acquisition sequence of the distribution objects in the to-be-distributed orders corresponding to each target goods taking point is reasonably planned by combining the order number, so that the acquisition time of the distribution objects can be effectively saved,

on the other hand, the same intelligent distribution device may need to provide distribution services for multiple target distribution points. It is also necessary to set a priority delivery order for each target delivery point from among the plurality of target delivery points.

In an alternative embodiment of the present invention, the delivery order may be determined based on the number of orders for the target delivery points. That is, before step S108, the method may further include: identifying a plurality of target distribution points corresponding to a plurality of orders to be distributed, and counting the number of second orders corresponding to each target distribution point; and screening out a first distribution point from the plurality of target distribution points according to the quantity of the second order, wherein the order to be distributed corresponding to the first distribution point is taken as the second target order.

Also taking the orders 1 to 4 in the above embodiments as examples, in the embodiment of the present invention, before order distribution, the order quantity of each target distribution point is obtained, where the order quantity of the target distribution point a is 2, the order quantity of the target distribution point B is 1, and the order quantity of the target distribution point C is 1, at this time, the target distribution point a may be used as a first distribution point, and the order corresponding to the target distribution point a may be used as a second target order.

In another alternative embodiment of the present invention, the delivery sequence may be determined according to the expected arrival time of each order to be delivered, that is, before step S108, the method may further include: acquiring the predicted delivery time of each order to be delivered; calculating the time difference between the current time and the predicted arrival time of each order to be delivered; and screening a second target order from the multiple orders to be distributed based on the time difference, and taking a target distribution point of the second target order as a first distribution point.

In this embodiment, by calculating the time difference between the current time and the expected delivery time as the screening basis of the first delivery point, it can be effectively ensured that the delivery of each order is completed within the expected time, thereby ensuring the delivery timeliness.

Further, when the step S108 controls the intelligent distribution device carrying the distribution object to travel to the target distribution point, the method may include:

s3-1, determining a target elevator reaching the floor where the first distribution point is located based on the second address information of the first distribution point;

s3-2, controlling the intelligent distribution equipment carrying the distribution objects of the orders to be distributed to arrive at the first distribution point by taking the target elevator, and distributing the second target distribution objects of the second target orders to the first distribution point;

and S3-3, after the second target distribution object is detected to be distributed, controlling the intelligent distribution equipment to drive to other target distribution points except the first distribution point so as to distribute the distribution objects of other orders to be distributed except the second target order to other target distribution points.

Continuing with the example of order 1-order 4, target delivery point a is at floor 10 of the building, target delivery point B is at floor 6 of the building, target delivery point C is at floor 7 of the building, and elevator number 1 and elevator number 2 in the building run to single-floor and double-floor floors, respectively. Assuming that the target distribution point a is determined as the first distribution point, the elevator No. 2 may be determined as the elevator reaching the floor where the target distribution point a is located, at this time, the intelligent distribution device may be controlled to reach the first distribution point by taking the elevator No. 2, and after the order of the target distribution point a is completed to be distributed, the intelligent distribution device is controlled to travel to the target distribution point B and the target distribution point C.

When the step S3-3 controls the intelligent distribution device to travel to other target distribution points, the method may include: screening out second dispatching points of which the target elevators can reach the floor positions from other target dispatching points based on second address information of other target dispatching points except the first dispatching point; and controlling the intelligent distribution equipment to take the target elevator to reach the second distribution point.

In the embodiment of the invention, when the distribution sequence of the target distribution point B and the target distribution point C is determined, the elevator No. 2 can be judged to reach the floor where the target distribution point B is located, at this time, the target distribution point B can be used as a second distribution point, the intelligent distribution equipment is controlled preferentially to take the elevator No. 2 to reach the target distribution point B, and finally the order of the elevator No. 1 to distribute the target distribution point C is changed. In addition, the dispatch priority may be determined based on the distance of the other target dispatch points from the first dispatch point, provided that none or a plurality of second dispatch points are available to reach the floor location of the target elevator from among the other target dispatch points.

Furthermore, in the method provided by the embodiment of the present invention, the delivery process information of the delivery object corresponding to the order to be delivered executed by the intelligent delivery device may also be tracked; the distribution process information comprises distribution object obtaining conditions, positions and/or expected distribution time; and synchronously displaying the distribution process information on the sender and/or the receiver associated with the order to be distributed.

That is to say, after the to-be-delivered order is distributed to the intelligent delivery device, the delivery progress and the real-time position information of the intelligent delivery device can be obtained in real time, and the information is fed back to the sender and/or the receiver associated with the to-be-delivered order, so that the delivery condition of the order is provided for the sender and/or the receiver, the sender can conveniently prepare the corresponding article, or the receiver can get the article from the target delivery point, and the delivery efficiency of the order is improved.

Based on the method provided by the embodiment of the invention, the first distribution point is selected for preferential distribution according to the preset delivery time of each order to be distributed or the number of orders of the target distribution point, and then the second distribution point is determined according to the floor which can be reached by the elevator taken when the order of the first distribution point is distributed, so that the energy consumption of intelligent distribution equipment can be saved while the order distribution is completed.
