It is about the technology provided.

Recently, as the demand for a delivery service rapidly increases, technologies for efficiently processing a delivery order are required. Because the number of riders is limited, one rider can process multiple delivery orders at the same time, if it's time for delivery orders to grow suddenly.

In this case, the average delivery time for all delivery orders may be reduced, but some delivery orders may have poor service quality. For example, if the delivery orders assigned to a rider have a similar occurrence time, the service quality for the delivery orders of lower priority is deteriorated while the rider processes the delivery orders in a random order.

In order to prevent this, recently, a service providing a 'direct order' that allows riders to process one delivery order rather than multiple delivery orders at once has emerged. However, in order for the delivery service to be fully realized, the number of riders should increase as the number of users of the delivery service increases. That is, as the number of users increases, it is almost impossible to process all delivery orders as direct orders.

1 is a diagram illustrating a server and a wireless terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The present invention relates to a method of providing a direct order (105) performed in a server (101) or a wireless terminal (102-104) in order to efficiently process the direct order (105) like general orders (106-107). . The server 101 and the wireless terminal 102-104 each include a processor, and the processor included in the server 101 or the wireless terminal 102-104 performs the method of providing the direct order 105 of the present invention. .

The server 101 and the wireless terminals 102-104 may refer to devices including a processor, such as a smart phone, a PC, or a tablet, and capable of wired or wireless communication. Referring to FIG. 1 , a server 101 receives a direct order 105 or a general order 106-107 and provides them to the wireless terminals 102-104 of the riders.

At this time, both the direct order 105 and the general order 106-107 are one type of the delivery order 105-107. The delivery order 105-107 may include information on a departure location and a delivery location. For example, the departure location may be a location of a store for picking up a shipment, and the delivery location may be a location of a place where the shipment is received.

When the delivery order 105-107 is generated, it is determined whether it is a direct order 105 or a general order 106-107. For example, when the user who requests the delivery order 105-107 pays an additional fee, or when the user who requests the delivery order 105-107 subscribes to a membership system that can use the direct order 105 , the delivery orders 105-107 generated from such a user are determined as direct orders 105 .

And, the general order (106-107) is a delivery order (105-107) other than the direct order (105) among the delivery orders (105-107), and the rider is to handle one or more general orders (106-107). can That is, a plurality of general orders 106-107 may be assigned to the rider's wireless terminal 102-104.

However, when one direct order 105 is assigned to the wireless terminal 102-104 of the rider, a new delivery order 105-107 is transferred to the wireless terminal 102 until the assigned direct order 105 is processed. -104), the server 101 or the wireless terminal 102-104 performs the direct provision method of the present invention.

And, according to the present invention, a new direct order 105 can also be assigned to the wireless terminal 102-104 to which the general order 106-107 is assigned. However, when a new direct order 105 is assigned to the wireless terminal 102-104 to which the general order 106-107 is assigned, the wireless terminal ( The server 101 or the wireless terminal 102-104 processes the delivery orders 105-107 so that a new delivery order 105-107 cannot be assigned to 102-104.

Specifically, in order to provide the direct order 105, the server 101 wirelessly transmits the delivery orders 105-107 in consideration of the number or types of delivery orders 105-107 assigned to the wireless terminal 102-104. It can be provided to the terminals 102-104. As an example, the server 101 may provide the direct order 105 to the wireless terminals 102-104 to which the direct order 105 is not assigned. The wireless terminal 102-104 may lock the shipping list so that, when the direct order 105 is assigned, no additional shipping orders 105-107 are assigned.

Through this, the present invention enables the general order 106-107 and the direct order 105 to be efficiently provided to the rider's wireless terminal 102-104.

In the present invention, the rider means a manpower that processes the delivery orders 105-107, and the rider is contracted to handle delivery tasks occurring in stores within the affiliated branch. The rider may select and process any one of the delivery tasks provided from the server 101 through the wireless terminal 102-104, and may process the delivery task automatically assigned from the server 101.

Referring to FIG. 1 , wireless terminals 102-104 are wireless terminals 102-104 of different riders, and general orders 106-107 may include different departure locations or delivery locations.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the server 101 is configured to: a terminal location of the wireless terminals 102-104, the number and type of delivery orders 105-107 assigned to the wireless terminals 102-104, and delivery The delivery orders 105-107 may be provided to the wireless terminals 102-104 in consideration of a departure location and a delivery location of the orders 105-107.

According to another embodiment, the server 101 provides a list including the delivery orders 105-107 to each wireless terminal 102-104, and the riders wirelessly transmit the delivery orders 105-107 selected from the list. It may be provided or allocated to the terminals 102-104.

2 is a diagram illustrating a display of a wireless terminal when a wireless terminal to which a general order is assigned receives a direct order according to an embodiment of the present invention.

FIG. 2A is a diagram illustrating a display of a wireless terminal to which a plurality of general orders 202-204 including information on different departure locations and delivery locations are assigned. FIG. 2B is a diagram illustrating a display of a wireless terminal when a direct order 205 is additionally allocated from a server to a wireless terminal to which a plurality of general orders 202-204 are allocated.

Referring to FIG. 2A , the wireless terminal may display a delivery list 201 for an assigned delivery order on the display. The assigned delivery orders may be automatically assigned from a server, or a delivery order selected by the rider from a list of delivery orders. And, when the assigned delivery order is processed, it is deleted from the delivery list 201 .

The wireless terminal may display, through the display, the types of the assigned delivery orders, a departure location and a delivery location, a time at which the delivery order is generated, a priority, and the like. For example, #1, #2, and #3 in each delivery order of FIG. 2A may mean priority. The wireless terminal may change the priority of delivery orders according to dragging by the rider.

Referring to FIG. 2B , when the direct order 205 is allocated to the wireless terminal, the highest priority is set. The rider must process the direct order 205 before other general orders 202-204. Accordingly, in the present invention, even if the direct order 205 is provided together with the general orders 202-204, the server or the wireless terminal performs the providing method of the present invention so that the direct order 205 can be preferentially processed.

In the case of (b) of FIG. 2, the server considers the terminal location of the wireless terminals, the number and types of delivery orders assigned to the wireless terminals, the departure location and the delivery location of the direct order 205, and the like. is automatically provided to the wireless terminal.

When the direct order 205 is assigned to the wireless terminal, other general orders 202-204 cannot be processed until the rider has processed the direct order 205. And, when the direct order 205 is assigned to the wireless terminal, a new delivery order cannot be assigned until all delivery orders assigned to the wireless terminal are processed.

Specifically, based on the type and number of delivery orders assigned to the wireless terminals, the server provides information to the wireless terminals, in which the number of assigned delivery orders is 0 or the type of the assigned delivery order is a general order 202-204. Provides a shipping order or a list of shipping orders.

The wireless terminal to which the direct order 205 is assigned locks the delivery list 201 . Specifically, the wireless terminal to which the direct order 205 is assigned locks the delivery list 201 so that a new delivery order cannot be added until all the assigned delivery orders are processed and deleted.

When the shipping list 201 is locked, no new shipping order is assigned to the wireless terminal until the lock is released. Then, when all delivery orders of the delivery list 201 are processed, the wireless terminal unlocks the delivery list 201 .

3 is a diagram illustrating a display of a wireless terminal when a wireless terminal to which a general order is not assigned receives a direct order according to an embodiment of the present invention.

3A is a diagram illustrating a display of a wireless terminal when a delivery order is not assigned to the wireless terminal. 3B is a diagram illustrating a display of a wireless terminal when a direct order 302 is assigned to a wireless terminal to which a delivery order is not assigned.

Referring to FIG. 3A , the delivery list 301 displayed on the display of the wireless terminal does not display a separate delivery order. Referring to FIG. 3 (b), the direct order 302 displayed on the display of the wireless terminal is i) automatically assigned from the server, or ii) a delivery order assigned by the rider's selection.

When the direct order 302 is assigned to the wireless terminal as shown in FIG. 3B, a new delivery order cannot be assigned until the direct order 302 assigned to the wireless terminal is processed. To this end, as described above, the server delivers to the wireless terminals, where the number of the assigned delivery orders is 0 or the type of the assigned delivery order is a general order, based on the type and number of delivery orders assigned to the wireless terminals. Provides a list of orders or delivery orders.

Then, the wireless terminal locks the delivery list 301 so that a new delivery order cannot be added until all assigned delivery orders are processed and deleted. When the delivery list 301 is locked, no new delivery order is assigned to the wireless terminal until the lock is released. Then, when the direct order 302 of the delivery list 301 is processed, the wireless terminal releases the lock of the delivery list 301 .

4 is a flowchart illustrating a method of providing a direct order by determining a wireless terminal capable of performing the direct order according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In step 401 , the server receives delivery orders from the store. Alternatively, the server may receive delivery orders from another server that manages delivery orders. The received delivery orders may be any one of a general order and a direct order, respectively. In step 402, in order to provide a direct order, the server extracts wireless terminals to which direct order is not assigned from among the wireless terminals registered in the server.

Specifically, the wireless terminals of contracted riders are registered in advance with the server. For example, information about a wireless terminal and rider, such as a means of transportation used by the rider, a terminal ID of the wireless terminal, and the like may be registered in advance in the database of the server.

In addition, information on delivery orders such as a time when a delivery order is generated, a departure location, a delivery location, and the like, and the number, type, and processing status of delivery orders assigned to the wireless terminal may be stored in the database. Accordingly, at the time of providing the delivery order, the server may extract wireless terminals to which a direct order is not assigned among the wireless terminals registered in the server.

To this end, the wireless terminal transmits information about the wireless terminal to the server before step 402 . The information on the wireless terminal may include a means of transportation used by the rider, a terminal ID of the wireless terminal, a terminal location, and the like. The server may store information on the wireless terminal in the database, and map the number of delivery orders assigned to the wireless terminal, the type of delivery order, the limit of delivery orders, and the like to the wireless terminal and store.

In step 403, the server may determine a wireless terminal to provide a direct order among the extracted wireless terminals based on the terminal location of the extracted wireless terminals, the departure location of the direct order among the delivery orders, and the delivery location .

As an example, the server may determine a wireless terminal to provide a direct order based on a distance between a starting position of the direct order and the extracted terminal positions of the wireless terminals. For example, the server may determine, among the wireless terminals, a wireless terminal having the shortest distance between the terminal location and the starting position of the direct order as the wireless terminal providing the direct order.

Alternatively, the server may determine, among the wireless terminals, a wireless terminal having the shortest time required for a path to the starting position of the direct order as a wireless terminal providing the direct order. In this case, the required time of the route may be determined according to the rider's transportation means and traffic conditions.

As another example, the server may determine the wireless terminal to which the direct order is to be provided in consideration of the number of delivery orders assigned to the extracted wireless terminals and the delivery order limit of each extracted wireless terminal.

In this case, the delivery order limit means the maximum number of delivery orders that can be assigned to each wireless terminal. The delivery order limit may be determined according to the skill level of the rider who possesses the wireless terminal. For example, more experienced riders can process multiple delivery orders more efficiently, which can increase the number of delivery orders that can be assigned.

Further, the delivery order limit may be determined based on the number of delivery orders and the number of riders occurring within the branch. For example, when the number of delivery orders is greater than the number of riders by a certain percentage or more, the server may determine a delivery order limit of the wireless terminal to be higher than before at that time.

In addition, the delivery order limit may be determined according to the rider's means of transportation. For example, it may be determined that the delivery order limit when the vehicle is a two-wheeled vehicle is higher than the delivery order limit when the rider's transportation means is a bicycle.

The server can determine the wireless terminal to provide the direct order to among the wireless terminals in which the number of delivery orders assigned to the wireless terminal is less than the delivery order limit of the wireless terminal. In one example, the server is configured to provide a wireless terminal with the shortest distance between a terminal location and a departure location of a direct order among wireless terminals in which the number of delivery orders assigned to the wireless terminal is less than the delivery order limit of the wireless terminal, the wireless terminal providing the direct order It can be determined by the terminal.

That is, when the number of delivery orders assigned to the wireless terminal having the shortest distance between the departure position of the direct order and the terminal location is equal to or greater than the delivery order limit of the wireless terminal, the direct order may not be provided to such wireless terminal.

Alternatively, the server may determine the wireless terminal to which the direct order is to be provided among the wireless terminals in which the number of delivery orders assigned to the wireless terminal is equal to or less than the reference number. For example, when the reference number is N, the server selects a wireless terminal having the shortest distance between the terminal location and the direct order departure location among wireless terminals having N or less assigned delivery orders, the wireless terminal providing the direct order It can be determined by the terminal. N may be any natural number.

The server may determine a wireless terminal to provide a direct order from among the remaining wireless terminals except for wireless terminals that are set not to be automatically assigned a delivery order among wireless terminals registered in the server.

And, as another example, the server may determine the wireless terminal to provide the direct order in consideration of the delay time of the pre-assigned general order due to the direct order. That is, before providing the direct order, if the pre-assigned general order is delayed due to the direct order, the quality of service may decrease. Accordingly, the server may determine the wireless terminal that will provide the direct order in consideration of this.

For example, when a general order is pre-assigned to the wireless terminal, the server determines the first required time for processing the direct order in consideration of the terminal location of the wireless terminal, the departure location of the direct order, and the delivery location. Then, the server determines a second required time for processing the remaining general order based on the delivery location of the direct order, the departure location and the delivery location of the pre-assigned general order.

The server determines a third required time for all general orders to be processed based on the terminal position of the wireless terminal and the pre-assigned departure and delivery positions of the general order. The server determines the difference between the sum of the first required time and the second required time and the third required time as the delay time.

In this case, the sum of the first required time and the second required time means a time for all delivery orders assigned to the wireless terminal to be processed when the direct order is allocated to the wireless terminal. The third required time refers to a time taken for all delivery orders assigned to the wireless terminal to be processed when no direct orders are allocated to the wireless terminal. That is, when the direct order is allocated, the delay time means a delay time due to the direct order.

Specifically, the server may predict the time taken to move from the terminal location to the starting location of the direct order considering i) the distance between the terminal location and the starting location of the direct order, and ii) the rider's transportation means.

Similarly, the server may predict the moving time from the departure location of the direct order to the delivery location based on the distance between the departure location and the delivery location of the direct order. The server may determine the first required time according to the predicted time, and in the same way, determine the second required time and the third required time.

The server may determine a wireless terminal to which a direct order is to be provided among i) wireless terminals to which a general order is not assigned, and ii) wireless terminals having a delay time due to direct order equal to or less than a reference time. The reference time may be arbitrarily determined.

Alternatively, the server directs a wireless terminal having the shortest distance between the terminal location and the direct order starting position among the wireless terminals to which i) a general order is not assigned and ii) a delay time due to a direct order is less than or equal to the reference time. It can be determined by the wireless terminal to provide the order.

Alternatively, the server may determine a wireless terminal to provide a direct order from among i) wireless terminals to which a general order is not assigned, and ii) wireless terminals in which the sum of the first and second required times is less than or equal to the limit time. The limit time may be arbitrarily determined for quality of service.

Alternatively, the server has the shortest distance between the terminal location and the direct order starting position among i) wireless terminals to which a general order is not assigned, and ii) wireless terminals in which the sum of the first and second required times is less than or equal to the limit time. The wireless terminal may be determined as the wireless terminal to which the direct order is to be provided.

The reference time and the limit time may be determined according to a ratio of the number of delivery orders to the number of riders. For example, if the number of delivery orders is greater than a reference multiple of the number of riders, the reference time and limit time may be increased.

In step 404, the server may provide the direct order to the determined wireless terminal. In step 405, the server updates the database. Specifically, the server updates information about the wireless terminal to which the direct order is provided. For example, the number of delivery orders assigned to the wireless terminal, a type of delivery order, a time point at which delivery orders are assigned, and the like may be updated.

The wireless terminal receives a direct order including information on a departure location and a delivery location. Then, the wireless terminal displays the starting position and delivery position of the direct order on the display of the wireless terminal.

In step 406, the wireless terminal locks the delivery list of the wireless terminal until the direct order is processed. When the general order is pre-assigned to the wireless terminal, the wireless terminal locks the delivery list of the wireless terminal until all delivery orders are processed. The delivery list consists of delivery orders assigned to the wireless terminal. Processed shipping orders are either entered by the user or automatically deleted from the shipping list.

In other words, the wireless terminal sets the wireless terminal not to assign a new delivery order to the wireless terminal until all delivery orders are processed.

5 is a flowchart illustrating a method of providing a direct order when a direct order is assigned by a rider according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In step 501 , the server receives delivery orders from the store. Alternatively, the server may receive delivery orders from another server that manages delivery orders. The received delivery orders may be any one of a general order and a direct order, respectively.

In step 502, the server transmits a list consisting of delivery orders including direct orders to wireless terminals registered in the server. In this case, the server may transmit the list to wireless terminals to which direct order is not assigned among the wireless terminals registered in the server.

The wireless terminal may receive the list consisting of delivery orders including information on the departure location and the delivery location, and display the list on the display of the wireless terminal. The wireless terminal may receive a direct order from any one of the list from the rider through the display.

In step 503, the wireless terminal transmits the direct order received from the rider and the terminal location of the wireless terminal to the server. That is, the wireless terminal transmits the direct order received from the rider and information about the wireless terminal to the server. The information on the wireless terminal transmitted to the server may include a terminal ID of the wireless terminal and a terminal location.

The server receives, from any one of the wireless terminals, the direct order included in the list and information on the wireless terminal.

In step 504, the server may provide the direct order received from the wireless terminal to the wireless terminal. That is, the server assigns the direct order received from the radio terminal to the radio terminal, and updates the database in step 505 so that the direct order cannot be selected from other radio terminals.

That is, the server may update the database to reflect that the direct order received from the wireless terminal has been assigned. Specifically, the server updates information about the wireless terminal to which the direct order is provided. For example, the number of delivery orders assigned to the wireless terminal, a type of delivery order, a time point at which delivery orders are assigned, and the like may be updated.

In step 506, the wireless terminal locks the delivery list of the wireless terminal until the direct order is processed. When the general order is pre-assigned to the wireless terminal, the wireless terminal locks the delivery list of the wireless terminal until all delivery orders are processed. The delivery list consists of delivery orders assigned to the wireless terminal. Processed shipping orders are either entered by the user or automatically deleted from the shipping list.

In other words, the wireless terminal sets the wireless terminal not to assign a new delivery order to the wireless terminal until all delivery orders are processed.
