3 is a schematic block diagram of a terminal inventory management system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

3, the terminal inventory management system 100 may include a communication unit 110, a terminal inventory database unit 120, and a terminal inventory management processor 130.

The communication unit 110 includes a store interface unit 111 connected to the store client 200 to exchange data, a shipper company interface unit 112 connected to the shipper company server 300 to exchange data, And a dealer interface unit 113 connected to the client 400 to exchange data. Each of the interface units 111, 112, and 113 can transmit and receive data related to terminal inventory management.

The terminal inventory database unit 120 stores information on the terminal inventory, and includes, for example, an HDD, an SSD, and the like. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the terminal inventory database unit 120 stores data related to the terminal inventory. For example, the terminal inventory database unit 120 stores information on a terminal, information on a dealer, information on a shipper, information on a store, a delivery status of a terminal to be delivered, and the like.

The terminal inventory management processor 130 is an apparatus for processing terminal inventory management information, and may include various processors such as a CPU, a GPU, and an AP. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the terminal inventory management processor 130 receives a terminal provision request received from the retailer client 200 and transmits the terminal provision request received from the retailer client 200 to the agent client 400 Transmits a terminal delivery request, receives a terminal delivery request from the agent client 400, transmits a terminal delivery request received from the agent client 400 to the delivery company server 300, 300, receives the terminal acceptance confirmation from the retail store client 200, and updates the terminal inventory database 120 with the information about the inventory of the terminal.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the terminal inventory management system 100 receives a terminal provision request from the retailer client 200, and the terminal inventory management processor 130 calculates a total score among the agencies having the terminal A high dealership may be selected and a terminal provision request may be sent to the agent client.

For example, the terminal inventory database unit 120 stores information on an agency (location of an agency, business hours, evaluation score, and the like). In order to calculate the total score of the resellers having the terminal requested by the retail shop client 200, the distance between the dealer and the reseller is calculated to select the nearest reseller. If the distance between the reseller and the reseller is the same, It is possible to make a final selection of the agent having received the highest point by reflecting on the comprehensive score, and to transmit a request to provide the terminal to the agent.

A process for requesting a terminal from the terminal inventory management system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is as follows.

First, the terminal inventory management processor 130 receives an input requesting terminal provision through the retailer interface unit 111 from the retailer client 200. The store client 200 receives a terminal provision request from the store terminal 210 and transmits the request to the terminal inventory management processor 130.

After that, the terminal inventory management processor 130 receives a terminal provision request from the retailer client 200 through the retailer interface unit 111. In this case, the terminal provision request information received from the store client 200 may include the model name, specification, color, quantity, terminal acceptance person and terminal delivery time limit of the terminal.

Then, the terminal inventory management processor 130 can select a distributor most suitable for receiving the terminal requested by the retail store server 200, based on the agency information stored in the terminal inventory management database 120. [ Here, the distributor most suitable for receiving the terminal is the distributor having the highest overall score among the distributors having the terminal. Comprehensive score refers to the score obtained by taking into account the location of the agency, business hours, and evaluation.

For example, if the A agent is 10Km away from the retailer requesting the terminal and the B agent is 20Km away from the retailer that requested the terminal, then the A agency with a relatively short distance will have a higher overall score. In this case, the agent A having a higher overall score is selected as the most suitable agent to receive the terminal, and a request to provide the terminal is transmitted to the agent.

Then, the terminal inventory management processing unit 130 transmits a terminal provision request to the agency client 400 of the agency holding the terminal through the agency interface unit 113. The agent client 400 having received the terminal provision request can send the terminal request to the agent terminal 410 so that the agent representative can confirm the terminal provision request.

Then, the agent client 400 sends a terminal delivery request to the terminal inventory management system 100. In this case, the terminal delivery request may include information on a terminal acceptance period of a distributor delivering the terminal from the agency.

Specifically, the receiver terminal acceptance period refers to a time limit for the receiver to accept the terminal from the agency having the terminal requested. This is to increase the speed and efficiency of the business by setting a deadline for the terminal due to the nature of the business that needs fast and accurate delivery.

In addition, if the terminal inventory management processor 130 exceeds the terminal reception deadline, the corresponding shipping company may determine that the condition for allocating the carrier is not satisfied, and send the terminal shipping request to another shipping company. This has the effect of preventing delivery delays in advance by distributing the undetailable overdelivery work of the shipper.

For example, the method for setting the terminal reception deadline is to calculate the time required for navigation using the navigation information reflecting the real-time traffic information through the address between the agent having the terminal and the assigned shipping company, and for 10 to 15 minutes The deadline can be calculated by adding time.

Then, the agent client 400 sends a terminal delivery request, and the terminal inventory management processor 130 updates the state of the delivery target terminal of the terminal inventory database unit 120 to prepare for delivery. At the same time, the terminal inventory management processor 130 transmits the status of the updated delivery target terminal to the agent client 400 via the agency interface unit 113. [

According to one embodiment of the present invention, the terminal inventory management processor 130 sets the state of the delivery target terminal of the terminal inventory database unit 120 as being ready for delivery, and the terminal inventory management processor 130 Transmits a terminal status confirmation request to the agent client 400. [ The agent client 400 receiving the notification requests the agent employee to recognize the identification mark of the terminal to be delivered to the agent terminal 410 provided at the agent. When the information analyzing the identification mark of the delivery target terminal matches the delivery target terminal, the agent client 400 approves the terminal status confirmation request of the terminal inventory management processor 130, When the information analyzing the identification mark of the target terminal is inconsistent with the delivery target terminal, the agent client 400 may reject the terminal status confirmation request of the terminal inventory management processor 130. [

Here, the identification mark refers to a series of markers for distinguishing terminals such as a bar code and a QR code. However, the present invention is not limited to a barcode or a QR code, and any method can be used as long as it can identify an article by scanning an identification mark with an optical scanner, a cellular phone camera, or the like and checking it against a previously input database.

Then, the terminal inventory management processor 130 transmits a terminal delivery request received from the agent client 400 to the delivery company server 300 through the delivery company interface unit 112. In this case, the terminal delivery request received from the agent client 400 includes information on at least one of an address of a distributor, a person in charge of a delivery request, a deadline for receiving a terminal, an address of a store to receive the terminal, .

After that, the shipping company server 300 allocates a carrier to deliver the terminal through the carrier terminal 310.

Then, the shipping company server 300 recognizes the identification mark of the delivery destination terminal to the delivery company terminal 310 possessed by the carrier and transmits the first carrier identification information to the terminal inventory management processor 130 do.

Then, the terminal inventory management processor 130 receives the first distributor identification information obtained by recognizing the identification mark of the terminal to be delivered to the distributor terminal 310 of the distributor delivering the terminal. The terminal inventory management processor 130 may set the state of the terminal to be distributed, which is stored in the terminal inventory database unit 120, to be in delivery in response to receiving the first carrier identification information.

Here, the terminal inventory management processing unit 130 may set the state of the delivery target terminal to be in the delivery state when the agency identification information matches the first delivery person identification information, It is possible to send a request for re-confirming the handover of the terminal and a request for confirming the reception of the handover to the agent and the carrier, respectively.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the terminal inventory management processor 130 sets the status of the terminal to be delivered of the terminal inventory database unit 120 as being in delivery, Transmits the terminal status confirmation request to the delivery company server (300). The shipment company server 300 having received the information enables the sender terminal 310 of the sender to recognize the identification mark of the delivery destination terminal. When the information analyzing the identification mark of the delivery target terminal matches the delivery target terminal, the delivery company server 300 approves the terminal status confirmation request of the terminal inventory management processor 130 , If the information analyzing the identification mark of the terminal to be delivered does not match the terminal to be delivered, the delivery company server 300 may reject the terminal status check request of the terminal inventory management processor 130.

Furthermore, the terminal inventory management processor 130 may further receive information on the position of the shipper when the first shipper identification information is generated from the shipper.

If the dealer identification information matches the first distributor identification information, the state of the terminal to be delivered can be set to be in delivery. Here, if the distance between the position of the distributor and the position of the previously stored distributor is less than or equal to the preset threshold distance, the terminal inventory management processor 130 sets the state of the distribution target terminal as being in delivery and sets the distance between the position of the distributor and the location It is possible to register the delivery target terminal as a forgery suspicion different from the genuine article.

For example, if the distance from the agent having the terminal to be delivered to the dealer to receive the terminal to be shipped is 20 km, if the position of the transmitter is located at a position exceeding 20 km, additional work (illegal act, etc.) There is a high possibility. During the process, the genuine terminal can be changed to a good or alternative terminal. Therefore, when the distance between the position of the distributor and the location of the distributor exceeds the critical distance, it is possible to register the dispatched terminal as a counterfeit product different from the genuine product. The critical distance can be determined through the address of the agency and the address of the store, which are stored in the terminal inventory database unit 120.

Furthermore, the terminal inventory management processor 130 receives information on the time at which the agency identification information is generated from the agency, and further receives information on the time at which the first provider identification information is generated from the delivery company .

If the dealer identification information matches the first distributor identification information, the state of the terminal to be delivered can be set to be in delivery. Here, if the time difference between the time at which the agency identification information is generated and the time at which the first distributor identification information is generated is less than or equal to a preset threshold time difference, the terminal inventory management processor 130 sets the status of the terminal to be delivered And when the time difference between the time at which the agent identification information is generated and the time at which the first delivery person identification information is generated exceeds the threshold time difference, the delivery target terminal can be registered as a false forgery product different from the genuine article.

Specifically, when the agent client 400 requests delivery of the delivery target terminal, the agent terminal 410 recognizes the delivery target terminal's identification tag and stores the agency identification information. The agency identification information may include the time at which the agency identification information was generated. When the dispatcher arrives at the agency, the dispatcher can recognize the identification mark of the dispatcher terminal by the dispatcher terminal 310 and generate the first dispatcher identification information.

For example, if the time at which the agency identification information was generated is 12:00 and the time at which the first distributor identification information was generated is 12:20, the time at which the agency identification information was generated and the time at which the first distributor identification information was generated The car will be 20 minutes. If the predetermined threshold time difference is 15 minutes, since the time at which the agent identification information is generated and the time difference at which the first distributor identification information is generated exceeds the threshold time, the delivery target terminal can be registered as a false forgery product other than the genuine article . This is because it is considered that there is a time to perform additional work (illegal act, etc.) in the middle when the time at which the agency identification information is generated and the time difference at which the first distributor recognition information is generated exceeds the predetermined threshold time difference threshold .

According to one embodiment of the present invention, the store client 200 recognizes the identification mark of the terminal to be delivered to the store terminal 210 provided at the store, and stores the store identification information to the terminal inventory management processor 130 . The terminal inventory management processor 130 may set the status of the delivery target terminal of the terminal inventory database unit 120 to the delivery completion in response to receiving the received retailer identification information.

Furthermore, when the terminal inventory management processor 130 sets the status of the delivery target terminal to the terminal inventory database 120 as the delivery completion, the terminal inventory management processor 130 can further subdivide it. When the dealer identification information recognized by the dealer terminal 210 and the dealer identification information recognized by the dealer terminal 410 are identical to each other, the status of the delivery destination terminal is set to the delivery completion and the sales terminal 210 and the agent identification information recognized by the agent terminal 410 do not match with each other, the terminal client 200 and the delivery company server 300 confirm the terminal receipt confirmation and the terminal delivery A reconfirmation request may be sent.

Then, when a response to the terminal reception confirmation is received from the retail store client 200, the status of the delivery destination terminal is updated according to the response result, and when a response to the terminal delivery reaffirmation request is received from the delivery company server 300 The status of the delivery terminal can be updated according to the response result.

Thereafter, the shipping company server 300 recognizes the identification mark of the delivery destination terminal to the delivery terminal 310 possessed by the carrier, and transmits the second carrier identification information to the terminal inventory management processor 130 do.

Then, the terminal inventory management processor 130 receives second distributor identification information obtained by recognizing the identification mark of the terminal to be delivered to the distributor terminal 310 of the distributor who delivers the terminal. The terminal inventory management processor 130 may set the status of the delivery target terminal stored in the terminal inventory database unit 120 to delivery completion in response to receipt of the second carrier identification information.

Here, the terminal inventory management processor 130 may set the status of the delivery target terminal to the delivery completion status when the retailer identification information, the agency identification information, and the second distributor identification information are identical to each other, When the identification information and the second carrier identification information are inconsistent, a request for re-confirming the terminal reception and a request for confirming the terminal shipping can be transmitted to the retailer and the delivery company, respectively.

According to one embodiment of the present invention, the terminal inventory management processor 130 sets the status of the delivery target terminal of the terminal inventory database unit 120 as delivery completion, and the terminal inventory management processor 130 Transmits a terminal status confirmation request to the retail store client 200. [ The retailer client 200 receives the identification information and causes the retailer terminal 210 to recognize the identification mark of the terminal to be delivered. When the information analyzing the identification mark of the delivery target terminal matches the delivery target terminal, the store client 200 approves the terminal status confirmation request of the terminal inventory management processor 130, When the information analyzing the identification mark of the target terminal is inconsistent with the delivery target terminal, the retailer client 200 may reject the terminal status confirmation request of the terminal inventory management processor 130. [

Further, the terminal inventory management processor 130 may further receive information on the position of the shipper when the second carrier identification information is generated from the shipper.

If the dealer identification information, the dealer identification information, and the second dispatcher identification information match, the state of the dispatch target terminal can be set as the dispatch completion. Here, if the distance between the position of the distributor and the location of the previously stored store is less than or equal to the predetermined threshold distance, the terminal inventory management processor 130 sets the state of the distribution target terminal to the distribution completion, If the distance exceeds the critical distance, the terminal to be delivered may be registered as a suspected false item different from the genuine article.

For example, if the distance from the agent having the terminal to be delivered to the dealer to receive the terminal to be shipped is 20 km, if the position of the transmitter is located at a position exceeding 20 km, additional work (illegal act, etc.) There is a high possibility. During the process, the genuine terminal can be changed to a good or alternative terminal. Therefore, if the distance between the position of the distributor and the location of the distributor exceeds the critical distance, the dispatched terminal can be registered and registered as a counterfeit product different from the genuine product. The critical distance can be determined through the address of the agency and the address of the store that are stored in the terminal inventory database unit 120.

Furthermore, the terminal inventory management processor 130 may receive information on the time at which the store identification information was generated from the store, and may further receive information about the time at which the second distributor identification information was generated from the delivery company .

If the dealer identification information, the dealer identification information, and the second dispatcher identification information match, the state of the dispatch target terminal can be set as the dispatch completion. Here, if the time difference between the time at which the retailer identification information is generated and the time at which the second delivery person identification information is generated is equal to or less than a predetermined threshold time difference, the terminal inventory management processor 130 updates the status of the delivery target terminal to the delivery completion If the time difference between the time at which the retailer identification information is generated and the time at which the second delivery person identification information is generated exceeds the threshold time difference, the delivery destination terminal can be registered as a false forgery product different from the genuine article.

Specifically, when the store client 200 receives the delivery target terminal, the store client 200 recognizes the delivery target terminal's identification tag to the store terminal 210 and stores the store identification information. The store identification information may include the time at which the store identification information was generated. When the sender arrives at the retailer, the sender can recognize the identification mark of the terminal to be delivered to the sender terminal 310 and generate the second sender recognition information.

For example, if the time at which the store identification information was generated is 12:00 and the time at which the second distributor identification information was generated is 12:20, the time at which the store identification information was generated and the time at which the second distributor identification information was generated The car will be 20 minutes. If the preset threshold time difference is 15 minutes, since the time at which the store identification information was generated and the time difference at which the second distributor identification information was generated exceeded the threshold time, the delivery destination terminal could be registered as a false forgery product different from the genuine article . This means that when the time at which the store identification information is generated and the time difference at which the second distributor identification information is generated exceeds the predetermined threshold time difference threshold time, it is considered that there is time to perform an additional operation (illegal act, etc.) in the middle .
