Description

Method and device for determining delivery position

Technical Field

The application relates to the technical field of logistics distribution, in particular to a method and a device for determining a delivery position.

Background

Currently, when a delivery platform performs a delivery service, it is necessary to determine where to send the delivery based on a delivery address provided by a user. Wherein, the delivery address is the address of the delivery position which needs to be filled when the user places the order. Generally, in the prior art, the address of the delivery location filled by the user is composed of two parts, one part is an area of interest (AOI) corresponding to the delivery location, and the other part is a detailed address corresponding to the delivery location.

Specifically, the AOI is determined according to a search request and selection of a user, and the detailed address is determined according to a text input by the user. The user can input the area information corresponding to the delivery position in the search column and send a search request to the server of the delivery platform, and the server can return a plurality of AOIs which are determined after searching and matched with the area information to the terminal and then determine the AOI corresponding to the delivery position according to the selection of the user on the AOI.

Since the AOI corresponds to a region and delivery cannot be performed only according to the AOI, after the user selects the AOI, the user needs to input more accurate address information, i.e., a detailed address corresponding to the delivery location, in the input box. The distribution platform can only determine the distribution route of the rider according to the coordinates of the AOI selected by the user.

Therefore, the delivery platform cannot accurately navigate to the delivery address to be reached based on the delivery path provided by the AOI, and after navigating to the area corresponding to the AOI according to the delivery path, the rider also needs to manually search the position of the delivery address according to the detailed address input by the user, so that the delivery efficiency of the order is low.

Detailed Description

In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present disclosure more apparent, the technical solutions of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the specific embodiments of the present disclosure and the accompanying drawings. It should be apparent that the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by a person skilled in the art based on the embodiments in the present specification without any inventive step are within the scope of the present application.

In the prior art, the process of the user entering the shipping address may be as shown in FIG. 1.

Fig. 1 shows the content displayed by the terminal when the user inputs the delivery address, and the area information "huajia di shi 3 area" input by the user in the search bar and the AOIs provided by the delivery platform after retrieval and matched with the area information, that is, the content displayed in the dashed box, are visible in the left interface in fig. 1. An input box for continuously inputting the detailed address after the user selects the AOI is displayed in the right side interface in the figure 1. It can be seen that the user has entered "floor 5 floor 502 room number 331".

The distribution platform can use the coordinates of the AOI selected by the user as navigation points of a planned path to determine the distribution path of the rider. During distribution, the rider can firstly go to the position corresponding to the AOI according to the distribution route and then search the position of the delivery address according to the detailed address. In the above example, the rider can navigate to the 3 th area in the west of the Huajia according to the longitude and latitude corresponding to the AOI, and then according to the detailed address: "No. 331 floor 5 floor 502 room" looks for the corresponding building, unit.

The technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Fig. 2 is a process for determining a delivery location provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure, which may specifically include one or more of the following steps:

s100: and sending a search request carrying the area information to a server according to the area information input by the user.

In general, since the delivery location is usually determined based on information input by the user, the delivery location may be determined by monitoring the operation and input of the user in this specification. In this specification, the process of determining the delivery location is performed by the terminal as an example, and the terminal may determine the delivery location through the subsequent steps by monitoring the operation of the user in the interface for determining the delivery location, and sending a search request to the server according to the operation of the user and the area information input by the user. The operation of the user is an operation that the user triggers the terminal to send the search request to the server, for example, a behavior that the user clicks a "search" button. The user input refers to a behavior in which the user inputs region information in the terminal, for example, a behavior in which the user inputs region information in a search bar displayed in the terminal. Since inputting information and sending a search request are usually triggered by different user behaviors, the process of step S100 can be subdivided into two processes of inputting area information by a user and triggering sending a search request by a user operation.

Specifically, the terminal may present an interface for determining the delivery location when the delivery location needs to be determined, as shown in fig. 3. And determining area information according to the input of the user in the interface, and sending a search request carrying the area information to a server when the operation of the user on a search key in the interface is monitored.

Fig. 3 is a schematic view of an interface for determining a delivery location displayed by a terminal provided in the present specification, and the interface shown in fig. 3 includes an input area for a user to input area information so that the user can input the area information for searching in the input area. The 'search' key is used for determining the area information input by the user in the input area when the fact that the user executes the trigger operation on the key is monitored, and carrying the area information in the search request to be sent to the server. The server provides a server for the distribution platform to provide service support for determining the delivery position of the terminal.

Of course, since there are other mature ways to trigger the terminal to send the search request to the server, the description is not limited to the way to trigger the terminal to send the search request to the server, and may be specifically set as needed. For example, after determining that the area information input by the user is monitored, the terminal may determine to send a search request carrying the area information to the server when other operations of the user are not monitored within a specified time period. That is, the search request may be automatically transmitted to the server by the terminal without monitoring the user's operation performed on the "search" key. Wherein the specified time period can be set according to needs, for example, 2s, 5s, and the like, and the specification is not limited.

In addition, in step S100, since the user only needs to provide the approximate area corresponding to the delivery location, the interface displayed by the terminal may also display a prompt message to prompt the user that the detailed address of the delivery location is not needed, and only the area information corresponding to the delivery location needs to be input. As shown in fig. 3, a prompt message "please input area information of the receiving area" is displayed in light color in the input area.

S102: and receiving an area identifier which is returned by the server and corresponds to at least one AOI (area of interest) matched with the area information carried in the search request, and displaying the area identifier which is returned by the server and corresponds to the AOI.

In this specification, after sending a search request to a server, a terminal may receive an area identifier corresponding to at least one AOI returned by the server. And the AOI corresponding to the area identifier returned by the server is determined after the server is matched with the preset information of each AOI according to the area information carried in the search request. In addition, the terminal may further display the received area identifiers, so that the user may select an area identifier corresponding to the AOI that needs to be delivered and arrived from the displayed area identifiers, as shown in fig. 4.

Fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of a terminal displaying an area identifier provided in this specification, where the server in fig. 4 determines that the received area information is "huajia di xi li", and therefore each returned area identifier is an area identifier corresponding to an AOI matched with "hua jia di xi li", including: "Huajia Di Xili", "Huajia Di Xili 1 region", "Huajia Di Xili three region", and the like.

In addition, in this specification, the server determines at least one AOI matching the area information from the AOIs based on information corresponding to preset AOIs. The information of AOI is not limited, and may be set according to needs.

For example, the information of the AOI may include keywords for retrieving the AOI, and assuming that an area identifier corresponding to a certain AOI is "3 areas of florist prefecture", the keywords of the AOI are "florist prefecture" and "3 areas of florist prefecture", when the server receives a search request sent by the terminal and carries area information of "cells of florist prefecture", it may be determined that the keywords of the AOI match the area information, and the terminal may receive the area identifier corresponding to the AOI sent by the server: "Huajia Di Xili 3 district".

Alternatively, the information of the AOI may be information preset to describe the AOI, such as an identifier of a road in an area corresponding to the AOI, an identifier of a road around the AOI, and the like. When the area information input by the user is road information (e.g., a certain street), the server may determine the AOI matching with the area information according to the area information carried in the search request.

S104: and sending the area identifier selected by the user to the server according to the selection of the user for each displayed area identifier.

In this specification, after displaying the area identifier corresponding to each AOI returned by the server, the terminal may send the area identifier selected by the user to the server according to the selection of the user on each displayed area identifier.

Specifically, because the AOIs corresponding to the area identifier determined by the server are all AOIs matched with the area information input by the user, in order to accurately determine the AOI that the area information input by the user wants to specify, the terminal may display the area identifier corresponding to each AOI returned by the server. And determining the selection of each displayed area identifier by the user by monitoring the operation of the user. And returning the area identifier selected by the user to the server, so that the server can provide more accurate position points for the user to select through subsequent steps.

S106: and receiving address identifications of the AOI-associated position points, which are returned by the server and correspond to the area identification selected by the user, wherein the AOI-associated position points are predetermined.

In this specification, after returning the area identifier selected by the user to the server, the terminal may receive the address identifiers of the location points associated with the AOI corresponding to the area identifier, which are returned by the server.

Specifically, after receiving the area identifier selected by the user and sent by the terminal, the server may first determine the AOI corresponding to the area identifier, then determine, according to the predetermined association relationship between each AOI and each location point, each location point associated with the AOI corresponding to the area identifier, and finally return the address identifier of each determined location point to the terminal, so that the terminal may receive the address identifier of each location point sent by the server.

It should be noted that, in this specification, longitude and latitude coordinates corresponding to each location point are predetermined. The association relationship between each AOI and each position point is also predetermined. Of course, since the purpose of subsequently providing the terminal with the address identification of the location point is to provide the user with a more accurate delivery location, the location point associated with the AOI in this specification is usually located in or around the area corresponding to the AOI in terms of spatial location, as shown in fig. 5.

Fig. 5 is a schematic diagram of AOI-associated location points provided in this specification, and fig. 5 shows an AOI and a plurality of location points associated with the AOI, where a dashed frame is a region corresponding to the AOI, and a dot is a longitude and latitude coordinate corresponding to each location point.

In addition, unlike an area to which the AOI corresponds, the location point corresponds to one point (e.g., longitude and latitude coordinates corresponding to the location point), and therefore, the accuracy of positioning according to the location point is higher in terms of positioning accuracy. And the server sends the address identification of each position point associated with the AOI selected by the user to the terminal, so that the terminal in the subsequent step can be selected by the user by displaying the address identification, and a more accurate delivery position is determined according to the selection of the address identification by the user.

S108: and displaying each address identification, and determining the address identification selected by the user according to the operation of the user on the displayed address identification.

In this specification, in order to determine a more accurate delivery position, after receiving address identifiers of respective position points associated with AOI corresponding to an area identifier selected by a user, a terminal may display the address identifiers for the user to select. And determining the address identifier selected by the user according to the monitored operation of the user on the displayed address identifier.

Specifically, because the number of the position points generally associated with one AOI is large, the terminal can conveniently browse each address identifier for the user and conveniently select the address identifier of the position point required to be used as the delivery position for the user, and can determine the display sequence of each address identifier according to the preset sorting rule according to the numeric characters and/or the alphabetic characters contained in each address identifier and display each address identifier according to the determined display sequence. The preset ordering rule can be set as required, the specification is not limited, and a user can conveniently select the address identifier from the displayed address identifiers only by determining the display sequence according to the ordering rule.

For example, assuming that the address identifiers received by the terminal are "floor 1", "floor 2" … … "floor 10", and further assuming that the sorting rule is that the numeric characters are sorted in descending order, the terminal may sort the numeric characters according to the numeric characters contained in the address identifiers: the order of "10", "9" … … "1" ranks each address identification.

Or, assuming that the sorting rule is to sort the addresses with the same english characters from a to z according to the order of the letters of the english characters, and then sort the addresses with the same english characters from small to large according to the order of the numeric characters, and the addresses received by the terminal are "C zone No. 1 building", "a zone No. 10 building", "a zone No. 2 building", "B zone No. 10 building", and "a zone No. 12 building", the terminal can determine that the display order is "a zone No. 2 building", "a zone No. 10 building", "a zone No. 12 building", "B zone No. 10 building", and "C zone No. 1 building".

In addition, when the number of address identifiers is large, even if the address identifiers are displayed according to the determined display sequence, it may take a long time for the user to find the address identifier to be selected. In most cases, when the user fills in the delivery position, the user's current location is filled in, so in this specification, the terminal may further determine coordinates of the user's current location as coordinates of the reference point, then determine distances between the location points and the reference point according to the coordinates of the location points respectively corresponding to the address identifiers and the coordinates of the reference point, and finally display the address identifiers corresponding to the location points in the order from small to large according to the distances between the location points and the reference point. The address identifier displayed firstly is the address identifier of the position point closest to the current position of the user, so that the time for the user to search for the address identifier is saved.

Further, when the number of the address identifiers received by the terminal is not enough to be displayed in one page, the terminal may also display each address identifier in a multi-page or long-page manner, as shown in fig. 6. In fig. 6, there are 3 pages on the left side of the visible terminal for displaying the address identifier, and a "first page" key, a "second page" key, and a "third page" key are correspondingly displayed in the page, so that the user can determine to display the corresponding page through the triggered keys, so as to display different address identifiers through different pages, thereby realizing the effect of displaying each address identifier through a plurality of pages. In fig. 6, the right-side visible terminal displays each address identifier in a long page, where the dotted line shows an undisplayed part of the long page, and a scroll bar is displayed on the right side of the screen. The terminal can control which part of the content in the long page is displayed by monitoring the operation of the user. For example, the terminal may monitor the user's drag gesture and determine how to scroll the long page. Certainly, the page display or the long page display is a display mode which is commonly used when the page is displayed in the existing terminal, and the content of this part is not described in detail in this specification.

Furthermore, in this specification, in order to provide a clearer display mode of the address identifier, the terminal may also display each address identifier through the selector component.

Specifically, the terminal may determine the type of the location point corresponding to each address identifier returned by the server.

Wherein the type of location point is predetermined. Because the location point corresponding to the address identifier returned by the server is associated with the AOI, and the types of the location points associated with the AOI can be various, the types of the location points can be determined, so that the subsequent display can be conveniently and respectively performed according to the types of the location points. For example, where the AOI is a residential sector, the types of location points associated with the AOI may include: campus gates, buildings, parking lots, etc., and when the AOI is a shopping mall, the types of location points associated with the AOI may include: gates, business districts, floors, etc. when the AOI is a campus, the types of location points associated with the AOI may include: dormitory buildings, teaching buildings, laboratory buildings, dining halls, etc., when an AOI is an industrial area, the types of location points associated with the AOI may include: garden gates, office buildings, factory buildings and the like.

Secondly, the terminal may determine the type of the location point displayed in the first selector for the user to select according to the determined type of the location point, and display the determined types in the first selector. As shown in fig. 7, the types of location points determined by the terminal include: door, building number, parking lot, the types of choices in the first selector may include: door, building number, parking lot.

Then, the terminal may determine the type currently selected in the first selector, and determine, as the selected location point, each location point corresponding to the selected type according to the type currently selected in the first selector.

The type currently selected in the first selector may be specifically a type selected by the first selector by default, or determined after a selection operation performed on the first selector by a user.

For example, when the first selector is presented, since the user has not performed the selection operation, the terminal may determine, according to the type that the first selector may select by default, each location point corresponding to the selected type as the selected location point. Or after the terminal monitors the selection operation of the first selector by the user, the type selected in the first selector is determined, and each position point corresponding to the selected type is determined as the selected position point.

It should be noted that, for how the first selector determines the type of the default selection, this specification is not limited, and the number of characters corresponding to the identifier of the default selection type is the smallest, or the number of character strokes corresponding to the identifier of the selection type is the smallest, and so on.

Finally, the terminal can display the address mark corresponding to each selected position point in the second selector, so that the user can select the address mark in the second selector. The second selector is not limited to be specifically the type of selector in this specification, for example, the second selector may be a scroll selector, as shown in fig. 7, so that when a sliding gesture of a user is monitored, different address identifiers may be displayed in a scrolling manner. Alternatively, both the first selector and the second selection are option selectors, as shown in FIG. 8.

In this specification, the above-described modes of showing address marks may be used in combination, and this specification is not limited to this. For example, when the terminal displays the address identifiers by using the selector, the address identifiers in the second selector may be displayed according to the determined display order. Alternatively, address identifiers are presented in the second selector in order of decreasing distance between each location point and the reference point.

Further, the terminal can determine the coordinates of the current position of the user as the coordinates of the reference point, and determine the distance between each position point and the reference point according to the coordinates of each position point and the coordinates of the reference point. And then, aiming at the type of each position point, determining the display sequence of the address identifications of the position points belonging to the type in the second selector according to a preset sequencing rule for the numeric characters and/or the alphabetic characters contained in the address identifications of the position points belonging to the type. Then, from the position points belonging to the type, a position point distant from the reference point is determined, and the initial position of the cursor of the second selector is determined to be located at the determined position point. That is, the order of the address identifications displayed in the second selector is such that the ordering rule is satisfied, and the initial position of the cursor in the second selector is at the position point closest to the user among the position points belonging to the type.

For example, assume that the location points are of the type of building and the address of each location point is identified as: "floor 1", "floor 2" … … "floor 10", wherein the position point corresponding to "floor 5" is closest to the user, the second selector displays the address identifications in the order of "floor 1", "floor 2" floor … … "floor 10", and the initial cursor is on "floor 5". Assuming that the second selector is a scroll selector and can display 3 address identifiers, the second selector initially displays "floor 4", "floor 5", and "floor 6", with the cursor on "floor 5", as shown in fig. 7 b.

S110: and determining a delivery position according to the position point corresponding to the selected address identifier, and sending the delivery position to the server, so that the server determines a delivery route according to the delivery position.

In this specification, after the terminal determines the address identifier selected by the user according to the monitored operation of the user on the displayed address identifier, the delivery position may be determined according to the position point corresponding to the address identifier selected by the user. As described above, in this specification, the location point is predetermined with the latitude and longitude coordinates, and thus the terminal may determine the delivery location according to the latitude and longitude coordinates of the location point.

And the terminal can also send the determined delivery position to the server, so that the server can determine a delivery path when the delivery capacity delivers the order corresponding to the delivery position according to the delivery position. Because the server in the method provided by the specification can determine the delivery path according to the delivery position determined by the position point, the situation that the delivery capacity can only reach the area corresponding to the AOI according to the delivery path and the position point corresponding to the delivery address needs to be continuously searched in the prior art can be avoided, the delivery capacity and the cost are saved, and the delivery efficiency of the order is improved.

In addition, in the prior art, in order to improve the accuracy of navigation points when planning a route, a server also determines a Point of Interest (POI) to be returned to a terminal according to the POI corresponding to AOI. However, since the amount of information displayable in the terminal is limited, the server can only return a part of POIs when there are more AOIs matching with the area information or there are more POIs corresponding to the AOI. Also, the POI returned by the server is not necessarily closer to the address of the user's delivery location, and therefore can only be helpful in improving the accuracy of the navigation point in some cases. For example, the number of POIs that can be displayed by the terminal is 3, the server returns the top three POIs of the POIs corresponding to AOI "huajia di xi li" to the terminal, the returned POIs are "333 th floor", "5 th floor", and "27 th floor", respectively, but if the address of the delivery position of the user is 331 th floor, the returned POIs do not help to determine a delivery position with higher accuracy.

It can be seen that, at present, a delivery platform provides a delivery route based on AOI and part of POIs, it is difficult to ensure that each order can be accurately navigated to a delivery address to be reached, and when the POI provided by the delivery platform is not a location point of a delivery location required by a user, a rider still needs to manually find the location of the delivery address according to a detailed address input by the user.

In step S102 of this specification, unlike the prior art in which the server returns the AOI, a part of the POI corresponding to the AOI is also returned for the user to select, the AOI provided by the server in this specification is only an intermediate process of determining the delivery location, and does not directly use the AOI as the delivery location, so that only the AOI is returned for the user to select, and in the subsequent step, the address identifier of the location point associated with the AOI corresponding to the area identifier selected by the user is provided for the user to select, so that a richer and more comprehensive location point can be provided for the user, thereby avoiding the problem caused by only providing a part of the POI in the prior art.

Further, since the POI is usually a location point generally interested by the user, which is determined by counting the user behaviors (such as searching, browsing, etc.) of a large number of users, the POI corresponds to the interest level of the user. For example, the heat of the POIs can be determined according to the frequency of searching the POIs by the user, and the returned POIs in the prior art also determine which POIs are returned to the terminal according to the heat of the POIs.

In the prior art, only part of POI corresponding to AOI is returned, which results in that cold door positions (such as few buildings searched by a user) cannot be used as POI, and the POI cannot be returned to the terminal. And since only part of the POI can be returned, part of the POI will not be returned to the user. Therefore, in the prior art, the method for mixing the AOI and the POI to return to the terminal for the user to select can only meet the requirements of part of users.

In step S106, unlike the prior art, when the number of POIs corresponding to AOI is large, the server may only be able to display part of POIs corresponding to AOI due to the limitation of the number of displayable information in the interface, and in this specification, the server returns to the terminal the address identifiers of the location points associated with AOI.

Based on the method for determining the delivery position shown in fig. 2, a search request carrying area information is sent to the server according to the area information input by the user. And receiving the area identification of the at least one AOI matched with the area information returned by the server, and providing the area of the at least one AOI for the user for selection. Therefore, according to the area identifier selected by the user and the predetermined association relationship between each AOI and each position point, each position point associated with the AOI corresponding to the area identifier can be determined. And finally, the address identifications of the determined position points are displayed, so that the user can select the address identification of the position point as a delivery position from the position points which are more accurate relative to AOI. The server may determine a delivery route based on the delivery position. Compared with the delivery position determined based on AOI in the prior art, the method and the device have the advantages that the address identification of each position point related to AOI is provided for the user, so that the user can select a more accurate position point as the delivery position. And each position point associated with the AOI is acquired from the server, so that the problem that when the distribution platform only provides part of POI, if the provided POI is not the position point of the delivery position required by the user, the delivery position can only be determined according to the AOI is solved. According to the delivery position determined based on the position point, the delivery capacity is closer to the end point which needs to be reached when the delivery task is executed, the delivery cost is saved, and the delivery efficiency is improved.

In addition, after the terminal determines the delivery location at step S110, the terminal may also present an input area for inputting a detailed address. And sending the detailed address to the server according to the detailed address input by the user in the input area, so that the server sends the detailed address to a delivery capacity display. After the delivery capacity reaches the delivery position according to the delivery route, the delivery task can be further determined according to the displayed detailed address.

Since the server can improve the accuracy of the determined delivery route end point through the process of determining the delivery location in fig. 2, the content of the detailed address filled by the user can be reduced accordingly. For example, if a delivery route is determined based on AOI, and if AOI corresponds to a residential area, the detailed address that the user needs to fill includes a building, a floor, and a unit number in the residential area, and the location point of building accuracy can be determined by the method for determining a delivery location provided in this specification, the user needs only to fill the detailed address corresponding to the floor and the unit. The complexity of inputting detailed addresses required by the user is also simplified, and the user experience is improved.

The present specification also provides a process of determining a delivery location performed by a server, corresponding to the process of determining a delivery location shown in fig. 2, as shown in fig. 9.

Fig. 9 is another process for determining a delivery location provided by the present specification, which may specifically include the following steps:

s200: and receiving a search request which is sent by the terminal and carries the area information input by the user.

S202: and determining at least one AOI matched with the region information from the preset AOIs according to the information corresponding to the preset AOIs.

S204: and returning the determined area identification corresponding to the AOI to the terminal, so that the terminal displays the determined area identification corresponding to the AOI for the user to select the displayed area identification.

S206: and receiving the area identification which is sent by the terminal and selected by the user from the displayed area identifications.

In the process from step S200 to step S206, the operation specifically executed by the server may refer to the description from step S100 to step S104, which is not described herein again.

S208: and determining each position point associated with the AOI corresponding to the received area identifier according to the predetermined association relationship between the AOI and the position points.

In this specification, the server may store a predetermined association relationship between the AOI and the location point, where the association relationship may be determined based on the spatial location relationship, and refer to the description in step S106.

S210: and returning the determined address identification of each position point to the terminal so that the terminal displays the received address identification.

In this specification, when the server returns the address identifier of each determined location point to the terminal, the server may determine the area type corresponding to the AOI according to the AOI information corresponding to the area identifier received in step S206. And determining the type of the position point corresponding to the area type of the AOI according to the preset corresponding relation between the area type and the type of the position point, and using the type as the type of the appointed position point. And selecting the address identifier of the position point belonging to the type of the specified position point from the determined address identifiers of the position points, and returning the address identifier to the terminal.

The correspondence between the area type and the type of the location point may be set as needed, as shown in table 1.

TABLE 1

In addition, the area type corresponding to the same AOI may vary with time in the present specification, for example, it is assumed that a campus is open access from 9 a day to 10 a day, and the rest of the campus is closed access. There may be a difference between the AOI region types corresponding to the campus at different times. For example, the types of the corresponding location points 10 a day are shown in table 1, and the types of the corresponding location points 12 a day are left with only the type of "gate".

Therefore, the server can determine the area type of the AOI, and then select the address identifier of the location point belonging to the specified location point type from the determined address identifiers of the location points according to the preset corresponding relationship between the area type and the location point type.

S212: and receiving a delivery position sent by the terminal, wherein the delivery position is determined by the terminal according to a position point corresponding to the address identifier selected by the user.

Based on the method for determining the delivery location shown in fig. 9, a search request carrying area information is sent to the server according to the area information input by the user. And receiving the area identification of the at least one AOI matched with the area information returned by the server, and providing the area of the at least one AOI for the user for selection. Therefore, according to the area identifier selected by the user and the predetermined association relationship between each AOI and each position point, each position point associated with the AOI corresponding to the area identifier can be determined. And finally, the address identifications of the determined position points are displayed, so that the user can select the address identification of the position point as a delivery position from the position points which are more accurate relative to AOI. The server may determine a delivery route based on the delivery position. Compared with the delivery position determined based on AOI in the prior art, the method and the device have the advantages that the address identification of each position point related to AOI is provided for the user, so that the user can select a more accurate position point as the delivery position. And according to the delivery position determined based on the position point, the determined end point of the delivery path is closer to the end point which is required to be reached by the delivery capacity when the delivery task is executed, and the end point is the position which the user wants to reach by the delivery capacity after filling the delivery address, so that the delivery cost is saved, and the delivery efficiency is improved

Embodiments of the present specification also provide a computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program, the computer program being operable to perform any one of the above-mentioned methods of determining a delivery location.

Based on the method for determining the delivery location shown in fig. 2 and fig. 9, the embodiment of the present specification further proposes a schematic structural diagram of the electronic device shown in fig. 12. As shown in fig. 12, at the hardware level, the electronic device includes a processor, an internal bus, a network interface, a memory, and a non-volatile memory, but may also include hardware required for other services. The processor reads the corresponding computer program from the non-volatile memory into the memory and then runs the computer program to implement any one of the above-described methods of determining a delivery location.

Of course, besides the software implementation, the present specification does not exclude other implementations, such as logic devices or a combination of software and hardware, and the like, that is, the execution subject of the following processing flow is not limited to each logic unit, and may be hardware or logic devices.

In the 90 s of the 20 th century, improvements in a technology could clearly distinguish between improvements in hardware (e.g., improvements in circuit structures such as diodes, transistors, switches, etc.) and improvements in software (improvements in process flow). However, as technology advances, many of today's process flow improvements have been seen as direct improvements in hardware circuit architecture. Designers almost always obtain the corresponding hardware circuit structure by programming an improved method flow into the hardware circuit. Thus, it cannot be said that an improvement in the process flow cannot be realized by hardware physical modules. For example, a Programmable Logic Device (PLD), such as a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA), is an integrated circuit whose Logic functions are determined by programming the Device by a user. A digital system is "integrated" on a PLD by the designer's own programming without requiring the chip manufacturer to design and fabricate application-specific integrated circuit chips. Furthermore, nowadays, instead of manually making an integrated Circuit chip, such Programming is often implemented by "logic compiler" software, which is similar to a software compiler used in program development and writing, but the original code before compiling is also written by a specific Programming Language, which is called Hardware Description Language (HDL), and HDL is not only one but many, such as abel (advanced Boolean Expression Language), ahdl (alternate Language Description Language), traffic, pl (core unified Programming Language), HDCal, JHDL (Java Hardware Description Language), langue, Lola, HDL, laspam, hardsradware (Hardware Description Language), vhjhd (Hardware Description Language), and vhigh-Language, which are currently used in most common. It will also be apparent to those skilled in the art that hardware circuitry that implements the logical method flows can be readily obtained by merely slightly programming the method flows into an integrated circuit using the hardware description languages described above.

The controller may be implemented in any suitable manner, for example, the controller may take the form of, for example, a microprocessor or processor and a computer-readable medium storing computer-readable program code (e.g., software or firmware) executable by the (micro) processor, logic gates, switches, an Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC), a programmable logic controller, and an embedded microcontroller, examples of which include, but are not limited to, the following microcontrollers: ARC 625D, Atmel AT91SAM, Microchip PIC18F26K20, and Silicone Labs C8051F320, the memory controller may also be implemented as part of the control logic for the memory. Those skilled in the art will also appreciate that, in addition to implementing the controller as pure computer readable program code, the same functionality can be implemented by logically programming method steps such that the controller is in the form of logic gates, switches, application specific integrated circuits, programmable logic controllers, embedded microcontrollers and the like. Such a controller may thus be considered a hardware component, and the means included therein for performing the various functions may also be considered as a structure within the hardware component. Or even means for performing the functions may be regarded as being both a software module for performing the method and a structure within a hardware component.

The systems, devices, modules or units illustrated in the above embodiments may be implemented by a computer chip or an entity, or by a product with certain functions.
