When the order information is received from the server 210, the controller 210 controls the display unit 120 to display the order information.

Timer 170 provides date and time information.

The operation of the food delivery agency service system having such a configuration will now be described in detail.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart illustrating an operation of a method of providing a food delivery service according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIGS. 4 to 9 are views illustrating an example of screen information provided in a food delivery agency service system according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 10 is a diagram showing a distribution concentration distribution. FIG.

Referring to FIG. 3, the riders check their own terminal 100 to see if they can work and work (S330). That is, the controller 140 operates the input unit 110 while checking the screen of the display unit 120 as shown in FIG. 4, and the control unit 140 transmits work-out check information to the server 210 through the communication unit 130. If necessary, leave the work at check-in time.

The control unit 140 periodically receives its position from the GPS unit 180 and transmits it to the server 210.

Then, the server periodically receives the position of the rider terminal 100 that has been checked in and stores it in the rider DB 222 of the database unit 220. At this time, the riders are in a standby state (S320).

On the other hand, at the merchant, the customer receives a delivery order with respect to food such as pizza, chicken, or foot-pants from the customer by telephone or other means (S310).

Then, the merchant accesses the server 210 through the network 400 using the merchant terminal 300 and applies for delivery (S311). At this time, the merchant terminal 300 may be a smart phone, a tablet PC, a computer or a force terminal, and is a terminal capable of network connection. Referring to FIG. 5, an icon for displaying various information such as a delivery acceptance icon for requesting delivery acceptance, a delivery status icon for viewing the delivery status, a deposit status, and an arrival time is displayed on the screen of the merchant terminal 300. When the icon is selected, the server 210 refers to the database unit 220 and provides the corresponding information.

Then, the information receiving unit 211 of the server 210 receives the delivery application of the merchant terminal 300 and receives the order (S321).

Then, the server 210 transmits the reception completion information to the merchant terminal 300, and upon receipt of the receipt, the acceptance screen as shown in FIG. 6 is displayed on the merchant terminal 300.

Next, when order information for food delivery is received from the franchisee terminal 300, the rider assigning unit 212 assigns the rider terminal 100 closest to the franchisee position, and assigns the franchisee to the assigned rider terminal 100 And transmits the order information (S322).

At this time, the rider arranging unit 212 may determine the position of the customer in the order information, and allocate the customers within a predetermined radius to one rider terminal 100 as one bundle.

In particular, the rider allocation unit determines the concentration time zone and allocates the customers within a predetermined radius to the one rider terminal 100 in the concentrated time zone (6:00 to 10:00 in the evening) Efficient delivery is possible by assigning the rider terminal 100 closest to the position. In other words, a limited rider can be used to deliver food to customers as quickly as possible.

The rider assigning unit 212 may assign the rider terminal 100 corresponding to the order information according to the selection of the operator's input unit 240. [

Referring to FIG. 7, order management information is displayed on the display unit 230 to manage order information, and the operator can operate the input unit 240 to perform rider status, order management, rider assignment, and the like.

Then, the rider accepts the order information to the rider terminal 100 (S331). At this time, the display 120 of the rider terminal 100 displays the detailed delivery information as shown in FIG.

Then, the rider refers to the detailed delivery information, goes to the affiliated shop, picks up the food (S332), and delivers it to the customer (S333). At this time, in case of cash payment, the rider may pay cash to the merchant in advance and receive the money later. In the case of a credit card, the payment information for credit card payment is delivered to the customer's home, and payment is made using a payment credit card terminal (not shown).

Thereafter, the rider operates the input unit 110 of the rider terminal 100 to perform order information completion processing, and the completion processing information is transmitted to the server 210 (S323).

Thereafter, the transfer unit 213 receives the completion processing for the order information from the rider terminal 100, and transmits a notice of completion of delivery to the merchant (S312).

An example of the delivery completion message is shown in Fig.

Examples of the screens shown in Figs. 4 to 9 can be modified in various ways, and other information can be added or deleted as needed.

 In the above embodiment, it is possible to deliver the food to the customer who ordered the food as quickly as possible. In fact, referring to FIG. 10, it can be seen that delivery orders are concentrated at certain time zones in some areas of Bucheon. When a customer within a predetermined radius (1 km) is assigned to one rider terminal 100 as a bundle in such a delivery concentration time slot, rapid and efficient delivery is possible.

In addition, the franchisor can perform the delivery service promptly at a minimum cost.

The embodiments of the present invention described above are not only implemented by the apparatus and method but may be implemented through a program for realizing the function corresponding to the configuration of the embodiment of the present invention or a recording medium on which the program is recorded, The embodiments can be easily implemented by those skilled in the art from the description of the embodiments described above.

While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed exemplary embodiments, It belongs to the scope of right.
