Description

[0001] SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CO-OPERATING CO-OPERATIVE SHIPPING SERVICE [0002]

The present invention relates to a system and method for a delivery service, and more particularly, to a system and method for a shared economic cooperative delivery service.

In short, expressing the main concern of traditional logistics service was 'streamlining logistics resources to deliver fast.' This is because the efficiency of logistics flow and the delivery time vary depending on how the limited resources such as delivery personnel, logistics bases (warehouses, etc.) and delivery methods are arranged and operated.

In recent years, as shipping service competition has been heated around e - commerce companies, various delivery methods have been put into practice. For example, to avoid the consignment of logistics resources and use logistics resources exclusively to shorten the delivery time, to include transportation means such as drone, which appeared as new IT technology, in the delivery service, Time to be included as shipping resources, and efforts are being made to achieve delivery cost reduction and efficiency. If you own enough logistics resources and use them all for their delivery services, you will be able to deliver the most efficient and relatively fast delivery.

However, operating the logistics infrastructure for such delivery is costly and burdensome for the operating logistics company. As a result, the responsibility of the consumer can be transferred to the customer due to the increase in the unit price of the delivery product, and there is a limitation in expanding the unauthorized delivery infrastructure because it can lag behind the competition with the price of other companies.

As an alternative, 'Shared Economy Shipment Service' is under review. This is done through public transport, which means that the cost of transportation is reduced because people use the transportation route and transportation means (vehicles, etc.). It is possible to shorten the delivery time by creating an appropriate matching with the general public in real time, and the available shipping resources are large enough to be unrestricted. The shared economy type of delivery service is the key to how to match the delivery items on the public route. It does not matter if the items are shipped from the start point of delivery to the point of delivery, but if there are cooperative shipments through several logistics bases through several distribution points, there are many factors to consider. Loses.

First, the characteristics of the distribution infrastructure should be considered according to the shared economic characteristics. The delivery personnel are not the only specialists for delivery. If you have a ship on your route, join the ship. From a profit point of view, only the number of deliveries corresponding to the effort required to deliver can be incorporated into the delivery personnel. Next, the logistics base infrastructure is as limited as other logistics services. The logistics base infrastructure can be, for example, a warehouse or a storage room for storing goods. Such warehouses need to be able to handle the amount of shipment they can handle, and should increase efficiency by maintaining proper trade volume. It is an important factor to consider when calculating the route of goods to be shipped.

Second, you have to consider delivery time. In the case of delivery of goods in cooperation with the general public, the personnel participating in the delivery can not set and deliver a common goal (for example, a specific delivery time). It is virtually impossible to cooperate to achieve a specific delivery time, since the delivery matching is usually done at different times and locations to allow the public to participate in the delivery, and because there is a premise that it is their own travel route and means of transportation. Therefore, measures should be taken to ensure that the goods are delivered within a reasonable time by controlling the routing of the transportation means of the general public and the delivery logistics hub via which they are delivered.

Third, since the shared economy type delivery service is a service for the general public to move and deliver, the influence of the general people on the delivery route is great. Since there is a lot of movement to areas with a lot of floating population, it should be considered when setting the delivery route. If the logistics hub in a region with a large floating population becomes saturated and is missing on the delivery route, the possibility of participating in the delivery will be reduced. In addition, even if the logistics bases in the area where the floating population is large are reflected on the delivery route at the start of the product delivery, if the real-time logistics flow is reflected, it may be omitted on the route due to the limitation of the processing capacity (warehouse, This can have an effect on the increase in waiting time at other logistics bases.

Prior to describing the concrete embodiments of the present invention, as a delivery service management model proposed by the present invention, reflecting the factors to be considered for implementing a shared economic cooperative delivery service, We will describe the setting of the delivery route that reflects factors affecting the delivery such as the model, transportation method, and traffic situation, and the setting of the delivery route reflecting the characteristics of the real time flowing population.

1. Logistics base management model considering characteristics of shared economic distribution infrastructure

In this paper, we derive the characteristics of shared economic delivery infrastructure compared with traditional logistics infrastructure and propose a model to achieve logistics flow efficiency based on it. This model is a shared economic delivery service implementation, and it is used as a key element of the algorithm for the delivery route setting.

In the traditional logistics system, the unchanging goal in shared economic logistics is 'shortest time delivery'. An important factor for delivery within the shortest time frame is the 'waiting time', which is waiting for delivery rather than the 'moving time' for delivery. Travel time is determined by external factors such as transportation means and traffic conditions, but waiting time is a factor that is relatively differentiated through expertise and efficiency in logistics. Reducing the waiting time for delivery is a measure of shipping efficiency. In a traditional logistics system, waiting time depends on the amount of delivery. It is because available transportation resources such as manpower, transportation means, warehouses and storage facilities are fixed. Therefore, the waiting time is proportional to the delivery amount. If the waiting time is "T" and the delivery quantity is "X", the following equation holds.

On the other hand, unlike the traditional logistics system, the logistics resources are not defined. In other words, there is no limit to the manpower and means of transportation to participate in the delivery. What is important here is the "motivation" to be incorporated into the logistics infrastructure rather than the logistics infrastructure. Sufficient motivation must be drawn in order to utilize the public and their means of transport during the delivery process. In order to induce the participation of the general public and to achieve efficient delivery in the shortest time, there are two methods that can be applied: first, when the shipping cost is relatively high; second, when the same destination is the delivery destination, And third, to designate the delivery route to the area where the shippers mainly move. However, the cost of delivery is determined by the sponsor's intention based on the client's authority, and it is impossible to arbitrarily adjust the price. In addition, due to the nature of the shipper, the direction of the shipper 's movement is determined not by the purpose of the ship but by the work, and if the shipper does not directly participate in the shipper, the direction of the ship is not changed. Therefore, if the shipping destination is different from the moving direction, the possibility of delivery is lowered. Factors to consider are 'probabilities' and 'returns'

'Probability' refers to the probability that a delivery candidate passing or passing through a particular logistics base can participate in the delivery. This possibility means the correspondence between the moving direction of the delivery candidate and the moving direction of the deliverable. "Revenue" is the profit of participating in the delivery, and this profit should be higher than the cost of the shipment (the weight, the hassle of carrying). The person who carries out the delivery is the general person, but it is performed in the system proposed in the present invention to match the delivery person with the delivery item.

Therefore, the system should create an effective logistics flow in terms of 'probability' and 'revenue' for the purpose of attracting the motivation of the public to carry out the delivery. The delivery service management model of the present invention permits all logistics points that can be a delivery route to be routed as much as possible in order to increase the probability of delivering a particular logistics base in a probabilistic manner and to meet the consideration of profit side. Meets the specific conditions to be described later (for example, to avoid specifying and exceeding the target delivery time, "2. Setting up a delivery route that reflects factors affecting delivery, such as transportation, traffic conditions") , It is possible to pass through all the logistics bases that can be passed through to induce the 'transit through' of the deliverable. As a result, the possibility of the delivery of goods through the point becomes probable. In other words, even if a delivery item can go to its destination at one time, it is guided by the system to be delivered via the distribution point if it is within the limit of the appropriate time.

This will increase the number of goods passing through a particular logistics hub, and the probability that the moving direction and the shipping direction of the shipping partner moving in a specific direction will partially match will increase. As a result, it is possible to recommend more shipping cases to the general public, which is a delivery candidate, and to induce further delivery participation. In addition, as the number of articles passing through a specific logistics base increases and the number of articles going in the same direction (direction, which is different according to the destination, etc.) increases, You will be able to choose the number of items, so you can earn additional revenue, which can further boost your participation in the delivery. In addition, because the client can compete with the other delivery items, the client can naturally induce the effect of causing a certain price increase from the client.

As described above, in the delivery service management model of the present invention, by allowing the system to pass through intermediate points on the delivery route and increasing the amount of delivery at each distribution base through this, it is possible to induce the delivery candidates to participate in delivery, Time can be reduced rather.

The relationship between the waiting time T 'and the delivery quantity X of the shared economic cooperative delivery service in the category of the proposed model can be expressed as follows.

However, these assumptions are not always applicable. Shared economical delivery service is also limited as in the traditional logistics infrastructure if sufficient shipping volume and shipping personnel participate in the logistics base. In short, space constraints such as warehouses and storage spaces become a problem. Finally, as in the following equation, T '(waiting time) is equal to the traditional model, which is proportional to X (delivery quantity).

As described above, the correlation model of the waiting time and the delivery amount in the shared economic cooperative delivery infrastructure can be expressed as the graph of FIG.

Referring to FIG. 1, when the processing capability of the conventional logistics service and the warehouse and the storage box are similar, the relationship between the waiting time and the shipping amount of the shared economic cooperative delivery service is similar to that of the conventional logistics service And shows similar delivery efficiency. However, due to the nature of the shared economy, the securing of the delivery manpower increases in proportion to the trade volume. As a result, the waiting time decreases with the increase of the delivery quantity.

In the model of FIG. 1, the x _ideal value represents the ideal shipping volume handling capability in traditional logistics services or shared economy delivery services. Actually, the model of FIG. 1 presents a criterion for judging the efficiency of each logistics base. The larger the x _ideal value, the higher the processing capability of the logistics base, and the lower the slope (ΔT / Δx), the higher the logistics efficiency.

FIG. 2 is a graph for explaining an example of determining the delivery quantity processing capability and the distribution efficiency based on the model of FIG.

In FIG. 2, the x _ideal value does not change easily when the processing capability of the warehouse, storage, etc. reaches its limit even if the number of people participating in the delivery increases. If warehouses are added, the x _ideal value of the logistics point will be improved to x _ideal2 .

In addition, the slope of the graph shows the logistics efficiency. The larger the negative slope, the smaller the delivery capacity and waiting time due to the increase of the delivery workforce (the left section of the "I" branch) Can be deduced from the fact that there is more demand. As the rate of increase of the delivery force is saturated compared to the rate of increase of delivery quantity, the slope becomes gradually closer to "0" and reaches the ideal value "I" point.

I point is a logistics optimization point that can be maintained by the logistics base of shared economic cooperative delivery infrastructure. Maintaining the freight volume and waiting time at the I point can be a task at each logistics base, and adjustment of the delivery volume can also be done based on this model.

FIG. 3 is a view for explaining an example of adjusting the delivery amount based on the model of FIG. 1; FIG.

Referring to FIG. 3, it is effective to increase the delivery amount of the distribution point in the section A1 (the section where the delivery quantity is smaller than the _ideal value (or smaller than a certain value)). On the other hand, in the A2 section (the section where the delivery quantity is larger than x _ideal value (or greater than a certain value)), reducing the delivery quantity improves the delivery efficiency. In order to realize this, in the delivery service management model of the present invention, when determining the delivery route of the delivery dogs, the delivery point is set as the intermediate point or deleted at the intermediate point to control the delivery amount at the corresponding point.

2. Set up a shipping path that reflects factors affecting shipping

Peer-to-peer (P2P) -based collaborative delivery is also variable in transport, and traffic conditions are therefore different. Traditional shipping services have fixed logistics resources, so they can be averaged over a certain traffic situation and reflected in the delivery system. However, it is difficult to estimate the traffic situation because it is difficult for the shared economy type delivery service to predict the traffic situation because the arbitrary delivery participant participates in the delivery with various transportation resources.

The proposed delivery service determines the target delivery time and manages the delivery route so that it can be delivered within the target delivery time, in order to provide reliable and high quality delivery service. For this purpose, it is possible to designate another competitive service group considering the characteristics of the goods to be shipped and the request of the delivery client, and to set the average delivery time of the competitive service as the critical point. Traditionally, existing shipping services are easily available because the average travel time information is stored in database form depending on the distance to be shipped. The range of the existing delivery service competing with the proposed delivery service and the delivery time is shown in the following table, for example.

area Competitive Services Delivery time (average) Downtown, city center Quick Service Within 1 day Wide area KTX, characteristics of intercity bus, courier service 2-3 days Overseas area Fedex, EMS, etc. More than 3 days

In addition, the target delivery time may be determined through the 'desired time required' of the shipper who is the delivery requester.

The delivery time of the delivery service can be expressed basically as the sum of the waiting time and the moving time at the distribution point as shown in the following equation.

Here, t _{(movement time)} is the time required to move the distances between the logistics bases, t _{(logistics bases)} is the sum of the waiting times at each logistics bases, and y is the logistics bases, .

Substituting Equation (5) into Equation (4), the following equations are established.

If a delivery request arrives at a short distance, such as a city life zone, for a certain delivery item, the proposed delivery service can set the target time of delivery with reference to the following formula.

Substituting Equation (6) into Equation (7) leads to the following equation.

Refers to the sum of the waiting times at the logistics bases included in the intermediate points from the logistics bases where the deliveries start to be delivered to the logistics bases set as the target points. Accordingly, it is possible to determine the delivery route by determining whether the distribution points that can be reflected on the movement route are included in the delivery route through Equation (9).

Even if arbitrary distribution participants pass all of the predetermined logistics bases, they can arrive at the destination within a reasonable time satisfying Equation (9). If some logistics bases are skipped by some distribution participants, Will be.

3. Delivery route setting reflecting real-time floating population characteristics

In the delivery service management model of the present invention, the delivery route is determined based on the above-described distribution base management model and Equation (9). After the delivery time target is set and the delivery route is determined by reflecting the traffic situation and the situation of the distribution base, the route may be changed again by re-calculating the route each time the delivery article arrives at the distribution base.

Another point to consider here is the 'concentration of population' such as the floating population at the logistics base. For example, logistics hubs in metro transit stations, shopping malls, and university campuses, which have many floating populations, can affect the average waiting time at different logistics bases, unlike other logistics bases.

Therefore, if a distribution system located in a region with a large population of people can be included in the delivery route when the delivery system determines the delivery route, it is necessary to increase the priority to include in the delivery route even in order to minimize the influence of other distribution points on the waiting time . However, an exception can be made if the delivery amount is excessive and the waiting time increases.

Example

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention to which the above-described delivery service management model is applied will be described in detail. In the following description and the accompanying drawings, substantially the same components are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description will be omitted. In the following description of the present invention, a detailed description of known functions and configurations incorporated herein will be omitted when it may make the subject matter of the present invention rather unclear.

FIG. 4 shows the overall configuration of a system for a shared economic cooperative delivery service according to an embodiment of the present invention.

4, a system according to the present embodiment includes a sender application installed in a terminal 100 of a sender requesting a delivery, delivery candidates desiring to deliver, or a terminal 200 of a delivery person performing delivery, (1), which is installed in a possible delivery route of the delivery item, and temporarily stores the delivery item to serve as a stopover point for the cooperative delivery by the multiple delivery persons A plurality of storage devices 300 (which may be referred to herein as 'hyperboxes' for convenience) and control and monitoring of the overall delivery service, and based on the delivery request entered from the sender via the sender application, Determines the delivery route including the intermediate route to be passed by the delivery item among the storage devices 300 on the movement route and the movement route, And a delivery management server 400 that matches the delivery person in the whole or a part of the delivery route according to whether the travel path of the candidates matches the entire section of the delivery path or a partial section distinguished by the intermediate way.

The sender terminal 100, the deliverer terminal 200, the storage device 300, and the delivery management server 400 are connected to each other via the wireless network and exchange information with each other.

The sender terminal 100 and the deliverer terminal 200 may be smart phones, tablet PCs, notebooks, PCs, and the like, each having an operating system and accessible to the Internet and capable of installing various applications (application programs).

Since the application installed in the terminal as described above substantially controls the terminal such as executing various functions provided by the terminal, the configuration and operation of the sender terminal 100 described in this specification can be understood as the configuration and operation of the sender application And the configuration and operation of the sender application may be understood as the operation of the sender terminal 100. Similarly, the configuration and operation of the delivery terminal 200 described in this specification can be understood as the configuration and operation of the delivery application, and the configuration and operation of the delivery application can be understood as the operation of the delivery terminal 200 It is possible.

5 shows a configuration of a sender terminal 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. 5, the sender terminal 100 may include a control unit 110, a delivery information managing unit 120, an encryption key identifying unit 130, a payment settlement unit 140, and a communication unit 150.

The shipper can download and install a sender application for providing a delivery service to his or her terminal 100. Upon completion of the installation of the shipper application, the shipper can subscribe as a member of the delivery service through the shipper application and enter his address at the time of membership. If the address is entered in advance, the delivery management server 400 can match the address to the public key, which is an encryption key issued by the sender in the sender application in the future. By attaching the encrypted public key to the delivery item, you do not have to worry about exposing your address to personal information, and you do not need to enter the address every time you send it.

6 shows an example of a sender application screen at the time of membership registration. In FIG. 6, when a 'new public key generation' is input, a new public key is generated based on a private key installed in the sender application. The QR code is a two-dimensional bar code including a public key value, and it can know a name, an address, and the like through a QR code. The QR code can be attached to the delivery item in the form of a sticker, and the delivery person can recognize the QR code by the camera of the delivery terminal 200 and confirm the destination of the delivery item.

The sender registered as a member of the delivery service can request the delivery through the sender application, and the sender application can provide the delivery information such as the delivery progress position, the information of the delivery person, and the destination of the delivery item .

The delivery information management unit 120 manages the delivery request, the delivery article information, the delivery person information, the delivery progress status, and the like. 7 shows an example of a sender application screen at the time of delivery request. As shown in FIG. 7, the sender can input the destination address, recipient, recipient's public key, sender, sender's public key, etc. through the sender application. The sender and receiver's public keys can be entered directly, but they can be automatically entered by calling them from the public key address book. The public key address book is a list of public keys such as friends and acquaintances that are stored in advance in the sender application. As shown, the shipper can input the approximate weight, uniqueness, delivery type (delivery, general, etc.) of the delivery item, desired time required, and the like. The item "Service selection" is to select whether to deliver the delivery item (home delivery) or home delivery (storage of the hyper box) in the storage device 300 near the shipper. The delivery request including the information input through the sender application is transmitted to the delivery management server 400 as described above.

When 'home delivery' is selected in the 'service selection', the delivery management server 400 matches the delivery person directly to the delivery item. When 'delivery of hyper box' is selected, The shipper may be designated immediately after it is stored. However, in order to shorten the delivery time even if 'HyperBox Delivery' is selected, matching of the delivery person is started and may be marked 'waiting' until the goods are stored in the designated hyperbox by the shipper. When 'Home Delivery' is selected and the courier is matched, the designated courier confirms the 'sender's public key', confirms the sender's address, and goes to receive the courier. Upon receipt of the shipment, the shipment goes to the nearby storage device 300 and stores the shipment in the designated storage bin. At this time, the shipper can affix a QR code to the packaging box surface of the delivery item to confirm the address of the recipient.

The sender application can provide the information of the delivery person designated by the delivery management server 400 in response to the sender's delivery request. The shipper can confirm the information of the shipper and finally select the shipper. In some cases, the shipping management server 400 may definitively designate the delivery person without intervening in the delivery person designation. The designation of a delivery person can be made not only for the initial delivery stage but also for each delivery person when there are several delivery persons in cooperative form. In this case, the delivery person information can also be stored in the delivery management server 400 without the intervention of the sender, and can be confirmed through the sender application when necessary.

The delivery information management unit 120 may receive the information from the delivery management server 400 and show the delivery progress status to the sender after the delivery person is matched.

The delivery information management unit 220 receives the movement route from the delivery candidate and transmits it to the delivery management server 400. The delivery candidate can enter the route by subdividing it into a destination, a main waypoint, or a destination only. The delivery management server 400 extracts the delivery cases in which the delivery path and the delivery path of the delivery candidate are all or partially identical to each other and transmits the delivery to the terminal 200 of the delivery candidate, And the like. Then, the delivery information management unit 200 displays the information on the delivery case that the delivery candidate can deliver in the form of a " recommended delivery list ". The shipper can select the desired shipment from the 'Shipment List'.

10 shows an example of an application screen which is a delivery screen for inputting a movement path of a delivery candidate. As shown in the figure, it is possible to input a departure place, a destination, a main way point, etc., and to input a moving means (public transportation, private use, motorcycle, etc.). You can select 'Map' to specify the destination on the map. In FIG. 10, the moving means is a public transportation, and a moving route with the destination of Sadang Station as a destination is entered as a departure point from Samsung station, with Yeoksam station, Gangnam station and Seocho station as transit directions.

Then, the delivery management server 400 extracts the shipments from the Samsung station to the Yeonnam station, the Gangnam station to the Samsung station, and the Sadang station to the Seocho station and the Samsung station from the Samsung station. Then, the delivery management server 400 transmits a list of the extracted delivery cases to the terminal 200 of the delivery candidate.

As shown, the destination of the delivery case (where the destination may be the final destination of the delivery case, or it may be the waypoint on the delivery route), the delivery form, the condition, and so on. Shipping Candidates can choose the desired shipping list from the list of recommended shipping.

11, the selection information is transmitted to the delivery management server 400. The delivery management server 400 transmits the selection information to the delivery server 400 in the order of 4, 6, Send the information of the delivery candidate to the shipper who has requested the gun. 4, and 6, the shipper of the shipper selects the final shipper through the shipper application (or directly without the shipper's intervention), the shipper is designated as the shipper of the ship 4 and 6, do. When the delivery person is designated, the delivery management server 400 sets the public key value of the delivery person as the unlock condition of the storage device of the storage device 300 in which the delivery item is stored, To release the lock. The delivery person goes to the storage device 300 of the starting station of Samsung station and receives the goods from the storage box storing the delivery items of the items 4 and 6 and then delivers the goods to the storage device 300 of Seocho station and Sadang station respectively You can do it.

FIG. 12 shows an example of the appearance of the storage device 300, and FIG. 13 shows an example of a screen displayed on the screen portion 320 of the storage device 300 so that the delivery person can receive or store the delivered goods.

When the shipper selects 'receive delivery' from the screen unit 320 of the storage apparatus 300 and contacts the terminal 200 with the NFC reader 305, the storage apparatus 300 identifies the delivery person, And communicates with the server 400 to display on the display unit 320 the delivery items (items 4 and 6) assigned to the delivery person. When the shipper selects the ship gun on the screen 320, the lock of the ship is released and the ship can be found. In this case, the storage device 300 may also request authentication of the private key of the terminal 200 as a delivery.

When the delivery person arrives at the delivery destination, the user may select 'store delivery' on the screen 320 of the storage device 300 and store the delivery item in a designated or optional storage box. At this time, it is also possible to request authentication of the private key of the delivery terminal 200 in order to identify the delivery person.

The encryption key identifying unit 230 may perform public key authentication with the storage device 300 or open / close the storage box using short-range wireless communication such as NFC. For example, the user can be identified by checking the parent identification or the pair availability between the private key of the delivery person and the public key of the storage device 300.

When the delivery of the delivery person is completed, the delivery person can receive the payment in the form of points, electronic money, or the like. The settlement management unit 240 performs a settlement management function for the delivery price. The settlement management unit 240 can display the information on the delivery price, the point or the status of holding the money.

FIG. 14 shows an example of an application screen which is the delivery by the settlement management unit 240. FIG. In FIG. 14, 'unsettled amount' represents the price to be paid for the delivery processing, and when the 'settlement request' is selected, the unsettled amount is deposited into the designated bank account or electronic money account.

The control unit 210 controls the flow of information between each constituent element of the terminal 200 as a delivery and the information thereof. The communication unit 250 transmits and receives data to and from the delivery management server 400, the storage device 300, the sender terminal 100, and the like.

The storage devices 300 serve as an infrastructure of a distribution base which is a delivery route in the embodiment of the present invention. Since the delivery service according to the embodiment of the present invention is in principle a non-face-to-face delivery (in some cases, face-to-face delivery), the delivery service is cooperatively delivered by a plurality of delivery participants, A logistics hub infrastructure must be secured to allow delivery of goods between the two. The storage devices 300 are installed on a possible delivery path of the delivery items to serve as such a distribution point, and the efficiency of the distribution can be determined by efficiently operating the storage devices 300.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the storage devices 300 are operated according to the above-described delivery service management model in order to improve the logistics efficiency.

As described above, each of the storage devices 300 is a graph showing the relationship between each waiting time and the delivery amount according to the characteristics of the geographical location, the floating population, the trade volume, the processing capacity, Can be defined for each time zone. This graph can be calculated on the basis of statistical information such as an average value of operational data (delivery amount, waiting time, etc.) by dividing the storage apparatus 300 by time zone while actually operating the storage apparatus 300. The time division can be divided into 7 steps such as morning (work time), morning, noon, afternoon, working hour, evening, and after work, and it can be determined flexibly such as dividing into more or less steps.

The storage devices 300 may periodically or at the request of the delivery management server 400 send the delivery status information based on the graph of the relationship between the standby time and the delivery quantity to the delivery management server 400. Here, the delivery quantity status information includes a graph of a relationship between the waiting time (or the average value of the waiting time) of the delivery item, the delivery quantity (the average value of the currently delivered shipping quantity or the fixed time), the waiting time and the delivery quantity Delivery quantity x _ideal value) or difference between delivery quantity and optimal delivery quantity. It can be understood from this shipping quantity status information whether the state of the storage device 300 is in the A1 section, the A2 section, or the optimum shipping volume interval between the sections in the graph of FIG. The delivery management server 400 can adjust and control the delivery amount of each storage device 300 according to the state of each of the storage devices 300.

FIG. 15 shows the status of shipment and necessary measures of the storage device 300 installed in, for example, Gangnam Station, Seocho Station, Bangbae Station and Sadang Station, respectively.

As shown in the figure, each storage device 300 has a relationship graph of the waiting time and the delivery amount peculiar to the corresponding distribution base and the corresponding optimal delivery quantity (x _ideal ) value. In Gangnam Station and Seocho Station, the current delivery quantity is smaller than the optimal delivery quantity and is in the A1 section. The distribution area is in the A2 section where the current delivery quantity is larger than the optimal delivery quantity, and Sadang station is smaller than the optimal delivery quantity It is in close proximity. Therefore, in order to guide the optimum delivery amount, it is necessary to increase the delivery amount of the storage device 300 of the Gangnam station and Seocho station, and the storage device 300 of the distribution service needs to reduce the delivery amount. Increasing the amount of shipment is possible by incorporating the storage device 300 into the way of delivery ships, and reducing the amount of shipment can be achieved by deleting the storage device 300 from the waypoints of the shipment cases have. The delivery management server 400 takes charge of the setting of the delivery route considering this, and will be described in detail later.

16 shows a configuration of a storage device 300 according to an embodiment of the present invention. 16, the storage device 300 may include a control unit 310, a screen unit 320, a delivery information management unit 330, an encryption key identification unit 340, and a communication unit 350.

As described above, the screen unit 320 displays information on the screen so that the shipper or the delivery person can store or receive the delivery item.

The delivery information management unit 330 manages the status of the stored delivery items and transmits the real-time delivery status information to the store management server 400. The system also stores and manages the status of deliverables based on the shipper and the shipper information, and provides information to the shipper and the shipper using the storage device 300 through the screen unit 320.

The encryption key identifying unit 340 receives and manages the public key of the sender and the deliverer from the delivery management server 400. [ The encryption key identifying unit 340 can also identify the user by receiving the private key of the sender terminal 100 or the sender terminal 200 through the NFC reader 305 of the storage device 300.

The control unit 310 controls each component of the storage device 300 and the flow of information between them. The communication unit 350 transmits and receives data to and from the delivery management server 400, the sender terminal 100, and the deliverer terminal 200.

The delivery management server 400 controls the flow of information between the sender terminal 100, the delivery terminal 200 and the storage devices 300 and collects information necessary for providing a delivery service, And the like.

17 shows the configuration of the delivery management server 400 according to an embodiment of the present invention. 17, the delivery management server 400 includes a control unit 410, a delivery information management unit 420, a delivery logistics management unit 430, an encryption key identification unit 440, a payment / settlement unit 450, 460).

The delivery information management unit 420 stores delivery request information and delivery information of the delivery cases (storage of the storage device 300) based on the information collected from the sender terminal 100, the delivery terminal 200, Status, delivery progress, and the like), and provides the necessary information to the sender terminal 100, the delivery terminal 200, and the storage devices 300.

The encryption key identifying unit 440 receives the public key for locking and unlocking the storage device 300 of the storage device 300 from the sender terminal 100 and the delivery terminal 200 and provides the public key to the storage device 300, And functions to manage an encryption key such as a public key so that the designated shippers can access a specific deliverable item of the storage device 300.

The delivery logistics management unit 430 determines a delivery route including a stop route to be passed by the delivery article on the movement route and the movement route of the delivery article based on the delivery request inputted from the sender and the delivery quantity status of the storage devices 300 do. At this time, the delivery and distribution management unit 430 determines whether or not the storage devices 300 on the movement route are to be delivered, based on the estimated travel time along the travel route, the waiting time of the storage devices 300 on the travel route, It is possible to determine a waypoint via which the goods pass.

When the delivery route including the stop route is determined, the delivery / distribution management unit 430 determines whether the movement route of the delivery candidates matches the entire section of the delivery route or the partial region distinguished by the stop route based on the travel route input from the delivery candidates The shipper is matched to the whole section or part of the section of the delivery route. At this time, the delivery and distribution management unit 430 may catalog the delivery candidates in the order from the departure place. Then, the matched delivery information is transmitted in the form of a 'recommended delivery list' to the delivery terminal 200 of the delivery candidate, and if the delivery candidate is selected from the 'recommended delivery list', the final selection (Or without the intervention of the shipper) of the shipper.

18 is a flowchart illustrating a method of determining a delivery path of the delivery logistics management unit 430 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In step 1805, based on the delivery request inputted through the sender application, a recommendation route to the destination (or the destination storage device) from the origin of the delivery route do. The recommended moving route can be determined differently depending on the moving means. The moving means can be classified into, for example, 'private / motorcycle' and 'public transportation'. When the sender designates the moving means, the recommended moving route is determined according to the moving means. When the moving means is not designated, the delivery route is determined for each possible moving means, and the optimum (for example, . The recommended travel route can be determined by reflecting the real-time traffic information obtained from the existing real-time traffic information service.

In step 1810, the target delivery time (T _{target delivery time} ) is set. If there is a desired time required for the delivery request, the desired time is set as the target delivery time, and if the required time is not input, the average delivery time of the existing competitive delivery service can be set as the target delivery time.

In step 1815, an estimated travel time (t _{travel time} ) according to the travel route is calculated. The estimated travel time can be obtained from the existing real-time traffic information service or the like, which is a travel time on the travel route using the travel route without considering the wait time at the stop route (distribution base).

In step 1820, latency information of each storage device on the movement path is collected. When the movement path is determined, the waiting time information of the storage devices on the movement path may be transmitted to the storage devices on the movement path by requesting the waiting time information, and all the storage devices may receive their own information To the delivery management server 400, thereby obtaining the waiting time information of the storage devices on the moving route.

In step 1825, first, all the storage devices 300 on the movement path are selected as candidate waypoints, that is, storage devices to be the distribution points. This is to induce all possible logistics points on the movement route to pass through, as described above, for example, since it can be delivered to the destination within a proper time satisfying the expression (9).

을 산출한다. In step 1830, the sum of the waiting times of the candidate waypoints (the candidate waypoints selected in step 1825 or the candidate waypoints selected through the step 1845, 1855, or 1860 described later)

.

In step 1835, less than the sum of the latency of the storage device selected as the sum of the latency of the candidate waypoint, that waypoint candidate minus the estimated travel time from the target value of the delivery time (T -t _{target delivery time travel time)} or equal to .

"를 만족하도록 1825단계, 또는 후술할 1845단계, 1855단계, 또는 1860단계를 통하여 선정된 보관장치들을 경유지로 하는 배송경로가 된다. If the sum of the waiting times of the candidate waypoints is less than or equal to the value obtained by subtracting the expected travel time from the target delivery time, the candidate waypoint is finally determined as the waypoint in step 1865, and the shipping path is determined to include the waypoint in step 1870 . The thus determined delivery path includes the movement path determined in step 1805, and among the storage devices on the movement path, the expression "

Quot ;, or a storage route selected through the steps 1845, 1855, or 1860 to be described later as a route.

를 만족한다면, 이동경로 상의 모든 보관장치들을 경유지로 하는 배송경로가 결정된다. 이것은, 이동경로 상의 모든 보관장치들을 경유하더라도 목표배송시간 내에 배송을 완료할 수 있음을 의미한다. Even if all the storage devices on the movement route are selected as candidate waypoints in step 1825,

, The delivery path is determined as the stopping point of all the storage devices on the movement path. This means that delivery can be completed within the target delivery time even though all the storage devices on the route are passed.

을 감소시킨 다음,

을 만족하는지 판단하기 위한 것이다. If it is determined in step 1835 that the sum of the waiting times of the candidate waypoints is larger than the T _{target delivery time} -t _{movement time} , at least one storage device is excluded from the candidate waypoints through steps 1840 to 1860 to be described later, Go back to the candidate waypoint according to the excluded result

And proceeds to step 1835. In step 1835, This is done by excluding any storage devices from the candidate waypoints

≪ / RTI >

Is satisfied.

Steps 1840 to 1860 are a process for selecting which storage device is to be excluded from the candidate waypoints. In the embodiment of the present invention, a storage device is selected to be excluded based on the volume information of the storage devices on the moving path .

When the movement route is determined, the delivery quantity information of the storage devices on the movement route may be transmitted to the storage devices on the movement route by requesting the delivery quantity information, and all the storage devices may periodically transmit the delivery quantity information to the delivery management server 400 ), So that it is possible to obtain the delivery quantity information of the storage devices on the movement route among them.

In step 1840, it is determined whether there is a storage device in which the state of the candidate waypoint is the A2 section of FIG. The storage unit of section A2 is described as a storage apparatus in which the current delivery quantity is larger than the optimum delivery quantity (or larger than a predetermined value), and that such a distribution point improves the delivery efficiency by reducing the delivery quantity.

Therefore, in step 1845, the storage unit of the A2 section is excluded from the candidate waypoint in order to reduce the article to be delivered through the storage unit A2. Since the storage devices excluded from the candidate waypoints can not be the waypoints of the shipping case, the shipping amount of the storage device is reduced in terms of the overall shipping flow. If there are more than two storage units in A2, exclude the storage unit with the longest waiting time from the candidate waypoints. The longer the waiting time is, the worse the logistics efficiency is, and the priority is to reduce the amount of such storage.

If it is determined in step 1840 that there is no storage device for the zone A2, that is, if the state of all the storage devices in the candidate waypoint is the A1 zone or the optimization zone, at least one of the storage devices may be accessed through steps 1850 through 1860 Excluded from the candidate waypoint. In the embodiment of the present invention, the storage device having a relatively short waiting time is excluded. Referring to FIG. 3, in the section A1, a sufficient amount of delivery is not secured, and further participation in delivery is required. As the waiting time is relatively large, it is necessary to further secure the amount of delivery. Therefore, it is necessary to exclude storage devices having a short waiting time in order to induce a storage device having a relatively large waiting time to pass through the shipping amount.

In addition, in the embodiment of the present invention, as described in "3. Setting the Delivery Route Reflecting Real-Time Flow Population Characteristics", since the logistics base of the "floating population concentration zone" affects the waiting time of other logistics bases, Is the A1 zone and the storage unit of the "floating population concentration zone" is not deleted from the waypoint as long as the state is not within the A2 zone.

For this, in step 1850, it is determined whether there is a part of the storage device in the floating population concentrated area during the maintenance of the hibernation. The floating population concentrated area is, for example, a subway transit station, a shopping street entrance, a university store, etc., and a storage device for the floating population concentrated area is predetermined. If there are some storage facilities in the floating population concentrated area, in step 1855, the storage device other than the storage device in the floating population concentrated area in the candidate waypoint is excluded from the storage device having the shortest waiting time. Therefore, the storage devices in the floating population concentrated area are not excluded from the intermediate way, and the storage devices other than the floating population concentrated area are excluded from the intermediate way.

If it is determined in step 1850 that the candidate waypoint is composed of only the storage devices in the floating population concentration area or only the storage devices other than the floating population concentration area, in step 1860, the storage device having the shortest waiting time in the candidate way way is excluded.

19 is a view for explaining an example of a process of determining a delivery route according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 19, a first movement route using a motorcycle / car as a moving means from a departure place to a destination and a second movement route using public transportation as a moving means have been determined. If the shipper does not designate the moving means, the delivery route can be determined for each of the first movement route and the second movement route.

The process of determining the delivery route for the first movement route is as follows.

The target delivery time (T _{target delivery time} ) is assumed to be 2 hours.

=10분+10분+10분=30분이 되고, 이동경로 상의 모든 보관장치의 대기시간의 합

=10분+10분=20분이 된다. All of the storage devices on the first movement route have two (indicated by "○"), and the estimated movement time from the origin to the destination

= 10 min + 10 min + 10 min = 30 min, the sum of the waiting times of all the storage devices on the route

= 10 minutes + 10 minutes = 20 minutes.

이 성립하므로, 모든 보관장치를 경유지로 하는 배송경로가 결정된다. therefore,

Therefore, the delivery route for all the storage devices is set as the stop route.

이 1시간 30분을 넘어간다면, 2개의 보관장치 중 하나를 경유지에서 삭제하게 되며, 삭제할 경유지는 앞서 설명한 1840단계 내지 1860단계를 통하여 결정하게 된다. if

If one hour and thirty minutes are exceeded, one of the two storage devices is deleted from the waypoint, and the waypoint to be deleted is determined through steps 1840 to 1860 described above.

The following is an example of a process in which a delivery route is determined for the second movement route.

This time, the target delivery time (T _{target delivery time} ) is assumed to be 90 minutes.

=15분+15분+20분+20분=70분이 되고, 이동경로 상의 모든 보관장치의 대기시간의 합

=10분+10분+10분=30분이 된다. All storage devices on the second movement path have three (denoted by ' DELTA ') and the expected movement time from the origin to the destination

= 15 minutes +15 minutes +20 minutes +20 minutes = 70 minutes, and the sum of the waiting times of all the storage devices on the moving route

= 10 minutes + 10 minutes + 10 minutes = 30 minutes.

이 성립하므로, 모든 보관장치를 경유지로 할 수 없고, 3개의 보관장치 중 하나를 경유지에서 삭제해야 한다. therefore,

, It is not possible to make all the storage devices as a stopover route and one of the three storage devices should be deleted from the stopover place.

이 성립한다. If the storage device in the middle of the three storage devices is in the A2 section and is deleted from the waypoint,

.

Therefore, the delivery route is determined by using the two storage devices except for the storage device in the middle.

Even if the delivery route is determined through the above-described process and the 'recommended delivery list' is provided to the delivery candidate, the delivery route setting and the 'recommended delivery list' are updated periodically or at the request of the delivery person . If only a part of the entire delivery route of the delivery article is matched with the delivery route of the delivery candidate and only a partial section is delivered, the delivery route is set with the stop route corresponding to the destination as the departure route, , Logistics flow, etc.) can be reset and operated.

The settlement / settlement unit 450 performs functions such as settlement of expenses for a shipping request of the shipper, cost adjustment for the delivery person's participation in delivery, and the like. Since various payment methods such as a credit card and a simple payment are commercialized, it is possible to perform a function of connecting the payment request for a delivery request in a module form. On the other hand, the cost calculation and settlement method according to the delivery person's participation in the delivery is not relatively simple because a plurality of the delivery person participates. For example, a certain distance or a certain time from the departure point is used as a basic distance, the cost is calculated by an excess distance o time, or the amount of the transportation to the destination is determined by the requester and the ratio of the total distance traveled to the destination . The payment for the cost may be paid for each time the delivery service is performed, or the payment may be made by the method of monthly or weekly settlement. Since participation in the delivery of a piece is not large and the cost of the effort is not large, it is possible to consider a method of collecting a certain amount of points and paying in cash in the form of a point. The settlement and settlement unit 450 performs such cost settlement and cost settlement functions in conjunction with the cost settlement unit 140 of the sender terminal 100 and the settlement management unit 240 of the deliverer terminal 200. [

The control unit 410 controls each component of the delivery control server 400 and the flow of information between them. The communication unit 460 transmits and receives data to and from the sender terminal 100, the deliverer terminal 200, the storage devices 300, and the like.

The above-described embodiments of the present invention can be embodied in a general-purpose digital computer that can be embodied as a program that can be executed by a computer and operates the program using a computer-readable recording medium. The computer-readable recording medium includes a storage medium such as a magnetic storage medium (e.g., ROM, floppy disk, hard disk, etc.), optical reading medium (e.g., CD ROM,
