The communication unit 401 receives the package ID and the navigation ID from the server 200 of the collection / delivery center. In addition, the completion of delivery and evaluation point data are transmitted to the server 200 of the collection / delivery center.

  The processing flow of the navigation device 100 and the collection / delivery center server 200 in the package delivery system 1 configured as described above will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. 5A to 5C.

  First, as processing on the navigation device 100 side, input of vehicle type information is accepted from the input unit 102 in accordance with an instruction from a deliverer who is a user in step S501. For example, by storing all the vehicle type information in the storage unit 106 in advance, the user can easily select the manufacturer, vehicle name, type, and the like from the pull-down menu. Regarding the vehicle type information, the latest vehicle type information of all vehicles is always stored in the vehicle size management data storage unit 205 at the server of the collection and delivery center, and can be updated by downloading via the communication unit 101. The vehicle type information is input by the user only at the first activation after the navigation device 100 is attached to the vehicle, and the input information is stored in the storage unit 106.

  Next, in step S502, the current position acquisition unit 103 acquires the current position. The acquired current position is stored in the storage unit 106. In step S503, an input of a destination is received from the input unit 102. The input destination is stored in the storage unit 106.

  Next, in step S504, in response to a user instruction from the input unit 102, an input of a crew member in the current movement is accepted. For example, the user inputs “two people” manually. In addition to manual input, a passenger may be detected by a load sensor or the like attached under the seat and automatically input. The entered crew member is stored in the storage unit 106.

  Next, in step S505, the communication unit 101 stores the navigation ID, the vehicle type information acquired in step S501, the current position acquired in step S502, the destination acquired in step S503, and the crew information acquired in step S504. The data is read from the unit 106 and transmitted to the server 200 of the collection / delivery center.

  Next, as processing on the server 200 side of the collection / delivery center, first, in step S600, the communication unit 201 receives the navigation ID, vehicle type information, current position, destination, and crew data from the navigation device 100.

  Next, the delivery request determination unit 203 first obtains an empty space by referring to the vehicle size management data (for example, FIG. 4) in the vehicle size management data storage unit 205 based on the vehicle type information and the crew data (step 4). S601). Then, the delivery request determination unit 203 uses the collection / delivery location nearest to the current position as the delivery source, the delivery location nearest to the destination as the delivery destination, and the package management in the package management data storage unit 206 based on the acquired empty space. A search is made as to whether there is a suitable delivery candidate package from the data (for example, FIG. 2) (step S602).

  In step S603, it is determined whether there is a delivery candidate package. If there is a delivery candidate package (Yes in step S603), the server 200 of the collection / delivery center sends the package ID corresponding to the package, the location of the collection / delivery place A (delivery source), and the collection / delivery place B (delivery destination) from the communication unit 201. Is transmitted to the navigation device 100 corresponding to the navigation ID (step S604). If there is no delivery candidate package (No in step S603), the process proceeds to step S617.

  Next, as processing on the navigation device 100 side, in step S506, the communication unit 101 receives the package ID, the location data of the delivery location A (delivery source), and the location of the delivery location B (delivery destination) and stores them in the storage unit 106. To do.

  Next, in step S507, the route search unit 104 performs a route search using the collection / delivery location A and the collection / delivery location B as a waypoint, and calculates the estimated arrival time (delivery delivery time) at the collection / delivery location B. Here, the route search unit 104 searches for the route of the current position → the collection / delivery location A → the collection / delivery location B → the destination based on the map data in the storage unit 106. The searched route and estimated arrival time (scheduled delivery time) are stored in the storage unit 106. In step S508, the communication unit 101 transmits the navigation ID, the package ID, and the scheduled delivery time to the server 200 in the collection / delivery center.

  Next, as processing on the server 200 side of the collection / delivery center, the communication unit 201 receives a navigation ID, a package ID, and a scheduled delivery time from the navigation device 100 (step S605). Then, the delivery request determination unit 203 compares whether the scheduled delivery time received from the navigation device 100 is within the delivery deadline corresponding to the package ID in the package management data storage unit 206 (step S606). If it is within the delivery deadline (Yes in step S606), the delivery request determination unit 203 refers to the trust data (for example, FIG. 3) in the trust data storage unit 204 and refers to the past evaluation score (trust data) corresponding to the navigation ID. ) Is acquired (step S607). Then, the delivery request determination unit 203 determines whether or not to request delivery based on the acquired trust data (step S608). As a determination method, for example, a threshold value of trust data is set in advance, and it can be determined whether or not the acquired trust data is equal to or greater than the threshold value. In addition, the threshold value of the trust data can be changed according to the congestion situation of delivery. Further, in addition to the automatic determination, it may be determined whether or not the administrator of the server 200 of the collection / delivery center requests.

  In step S608, when the delivery request determination unit 203 determines that the delivery is requested (Yes), the communication unit 201 transmits the package ID and the reward amount data to the navigation device 100 corresponding to the navigation ID (step S609). Here, the delivery request determination unit 203 refers to the package management data (for example, FIG. 2) in the package management data storage unit 206 and identifies the amount of reward corresponding to the package ID. If it is determined in step S608 that delivery is not requested (No), the process proceeds to step S617.

  Next, as processing on the navigation device 100 side, in step S509, the communication unit 101 receives the package ID and the amount of reward, and stores them in the storage unit 106. Then, information such as the amount of remuneration is displayed on the screen of the display unit 105 together with the positions of the collection / delivery location A (delivery source) and the collection / delivery location B (delivery destination) (step S510).

  Next, in step S511, the delivery person who is the user of the navigation apparatus 100 looks at the information displayed on the screen of the display unit 105 to determine whether or not he / she intends to deliver the package. If there is an intention to do so, “accept” is input, and if there is no intention to deliver, “denial” is input.

  Next, in step S512, it is determined whether or not the input received by the input unit 102 in step S511 is “consent”. If it is “Accept” (Yes in Step S512), the communication unit 101 transmits “Accept” to the server 200 of the collection / delivery center (Step S513). If the input accepted by the input unit 102 in step S511 is “denied” (No in step S512), the communication unit 101 transmits “denied” to the server 200 in the collection / delivery center (step S518), and step S520. Move processing to.

  Next, as processing on the server 200 side of the collection / delivery center, when the delivery person who is the user accepts the delivery, the communication unit 201 receives “accept” from the navigation device 100 (step S610).

  Next, the communication unit 201 transmits the navigation ID and the package ID to the server 300 at the collection / delivery location A (delivery source) (step S611). Then, the communication unit 201 similarly transmits the navigation ID and the package ID to the server 400 at the collection / delivery location B (delivery destination) (step S612).

  Next, as processing on the navigation device 100 side, after transmitting “acceptance” to the server 200 of the collection and delivery center in step S513, the map data and the route searched by the route search unit 104 in step S508 are read from the storage unit 106, A screen for route guidance is displayed on the display unit 105, and a delivery person who is a user is guided to the collection place A (delivery source) (step S514). When the delivery person arrives at the collection place A, he receives the package corresponding to the package ID and mounts it on the vehicle.

  Here, when the delivery person who is a user arrives at the collection / delivery location A and receives the package with the package ID, the server 300 at the collection / delivery location A sends the “shipment” including the package ID and the shipment time from the communication unit 301 to the server 200 at the collection / delivery center. The “completion” data is transmitted, and the communication unit 201 of the server 200 of the collection / delivery center receives the data (step S613).

  Next, the navigation apparatus 100 guides the delivery person who is the user to the collection / delivery place B (delivery destination) according to the searched route (step S515). When the delivery person arrives at the collection / delivery station B, the packager unloads the package with the package ID loaded at the collection / delivery station A and delivers it to the collection / delivery station B.

  Here, when the delivery person who is the user arrives at the collection / delivery station B and delivers the package with the package ID, the manager of the collection / delivery station B confirms whether the package ID is correct for the received package, Evaluate whether delivery was completed within the delivery deadline and whether delivery was successful without damaging the package. The server 400 at the collection / delivery location B transmits the evaluation point and the date / time (package reception date / time) when the package with the package ID arrives from the communication unit 401 to the server 200 at the collection / delivery center. And the communication part 201 of the server 200 of a collection / delivery center receives the data (step S614).

  When the server 200 of the collection / delivery center confirms from the server 400 of the collection / delivery station B that the delivery of the package with the package ID has been successfully completed, the reward amount transmitted to the navigation device 100 of the navigation ID in step S609 is obtained. The procedure to transfer money to the account of the delivery person who is the user is performed. A notification that the procedure for paying the reward has been made is transmitted from the communication unit 201 to the navigation device 100 (step S615), and the deliverer who is the user can confirm the received information from the display on the screen of the display unit 105. (Step S516). Here, with respect to the reward, in addition to the transfer to the account, it is possible to use a point system that can be used for product exchange or payment when the customer requests delivery.

  Finally, the server 200 of the collection / delivery center uses the evaluation input unit 202 to generate new trust data based on the evaluation points received by the communication unit 201 from the server 400 of the collection / delivery place B in step S614 and the trust data corresponding to the navigation ID. Is calculated and stored in the trust data storage unit 204 (step S616), and the process ends.

  Further, after receiving the fact that the reward has been paid from the server 200 of the collection / delivery center (step S516), the navigation device 100 guides the delivery person who is the user from the collection / delivery place B to the destination according to the searched route ( Step S517), the process is terminated.

  Here, when there is no delivery candidate package in step S603 (No), in step S606, when the scheduled delivery time is not within the delivery deadline, and in step S608, the delivery request determination unit 203 does not match the delivery condition. When it is determined not to request (No), the server 200 of the collection / delivery center transmits information “no baggage” from the communication unit 201 to the navigation device 100 (step S617), and ends the process.

  When the navigation device 100 receives the information “no baggage” at the communication unit 101 (step S519), the route search unit 104 does not pass through the collection / delivery locations A and B because there is no parcel to be delivered in the current movement. (Current position → Destination) is searched, the user is guided to the destination based on the searched route (step S520), and the process is terminated.

  When the navigation device 100 transmits “denied” in step S518, the navigation device 100 moves the process to step S520 and guides the user to the destination based on a route that does not pass through the collection point A and the distribution point B. . On the other hand, the server 200 of the collection / delivery center receives “denial” from the communication unit 201 (step S618), and ends the process.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the vacant space of the car is automatically calculated, and the route, the date and time, and the passenger are searched by searching the server of the collection and delivery center for the luggage suitable for the departure place and the destination. It is possible to provide a package delivery system and a navigation device that can flexibly cope with a case where the number of persons is not fixed.

Since the available space in the car can be used more effectively, the total amount of delivery by delivery trucks can be reduced and the total number of vehicles traveling on the road can be reduced, thus reducing road congestion and reducing CO ₂ emissions. be able to.
