Accumulate and store statistical number information including Statistical collection information as described above is continuously collected only when possible. Accordingly, the control module 230 of the service server 200 is in a state of maintaining the statistics collection information in the storage module 220 in step S110. In this state, the control unit 170 of the customer terminal 100 generates a recall request message including the redemption information in step S120. Here, the collection information includes, according to the first embodiment, a collection time and a collection location. In addition, according to the second embodiment, the collection information includes a collection request image including a collection time and a collection location. The first embodiment and the second embodiment for generating the recall request message of step S120 will be described in more detail below.

Next, the control unit 170 of the customer terminal 100 transmits a collection request message including the collection information to the service server 200 through the communication unit 110 in step S130. Accordingly, the control module 230 of the service server 200 may receive the collection request message through the communication module 210 . Then, the control module 230 of the service server 200 extracts the collection information from the collection request message in step S140 and stores the extracted collection information in the storage module 220 .

Then, the control module 230 of the service server 200 performs scheduling according to the collection time and collection location of the collection information in step S150 to select a collection terminal from which to collect the corresponding bowl from among the plurality of collection terminals. According to an embodiment, the control module 230 of the service server 200 may periodically receive the current location from the plurality of collection terminals 300 . Accordingly, it is possible to select the collection terminal 300 closest to the collection location among the plurality of collection terminals 300 . According to another embodiment, the control module 230 groups the collection time and the collection location within a predetermined range of the collection information received from the plurality of customer terminals 100 and the collection information having the collection position within the predetermined range, After creating a plurality of groups, each of the plurality of groups may be distributed and assigned to a plurality of collection terminals 300 .

Then, the control module 230 of the service server 200 generates a collection instruction message including the collection information in step S160. Meanwhile, among the plurality of customer devices 100 , food is ordered and delivered, and although a preset time has elapsed, there may be customers who do not transmit a recall request message. In the case of recovering the bowl only for the customer who has transmitted the recovery request message, there is a hassle of moving again to recover the delivery bowl from these customers. Therefore, it is desirable to perform the miscellaneous recall scheduling for the customer who has not transmitted the recall request message and the customer in a location close to the customer. Therefore, according to an additional embodiment of step S160, the control module 230 of the service server 200 retrieves the statistics collection information stored in the storage module 220, and a plurality of customers who ordered food but did not transmit a collection request message. The difference between the collection time and collection location of the statistical collection information corresponding to the device and the collection time and collection location of the collection information received from the collection request message is compared. Accordingly, statistical number information in which the difference between the collection time and the collection location is within a preset range is derived. Accordingly, according to another embodiment of the step S160 , the control module 230 of the service server 200 generates a collection instruction message including the statistical collection information together with the collection information to the selected collection terminal 300 . Then, the control module 230 of the service server 200 transmits the generated collection instruction message to the collection terminal 300 previously selected in step S170. Accordingly, the bowl recovery agent of the collection terminal 300 can easily recover the bowl through the collection information and optionally added statistical recovery information. In particular, in the case of the second embodiment, since the recovery request image is further included in the recovery position, the bowl recovery agent can more intuitively recognize the location where the bowl is placed.

On the other hand, after transmitting the collection instruction message, the control module 230 of the service server 200 accumulates points in response to the customer terminal 100 as a reward for transmitting the collection request message in step S180, and It is stored in the storage module 220 . These points can be used not only at the restaurant where the food is ordered, but also at affiliated restaurants and other affiliated outlets that are not restaurants. Therefore, points accumulated at different restaurants are converted into one single point based on cash value. In particular, when a customer who orders food at a restaurant provides recovery information, the restaurant deposits an amount corresponding to the points, and the service server 200 pays the customer for the recovery information based on the deposited amount. provides points. Therefore, even when the restaurant closes the business, the points accumulated to the customer of the customer terminal 100 do not expire, and can be used in affiliated restaurants and other affiliated branches. In addition, the service server 200 stores the point accumulation rate or the point recovery rate for each restaurant when the control module 230 accumulates points. The high coupon accumulation rate of the restaurant through the point accumulation rate or point recovery rate for each restaurant means that many customers have ordered food from the restaurant and the reorder rate is also high. It can be determined, and it can be used as advertisement information. Moreover, the restaurant side will try to increase the point recovery rate in order to be recognized as a restaurant.

After accumulating the points, the control module 230 of the service server 200 sends a point use guide message including the accumulated points accumulated previously and the point of use to the customer terminal 100 through the communication module 210 in step S190. send. Accordingly, when the control unit 270 of the customer terminal 100 receives the point use guide message through the communication unit 110 , it extracts the accumulated points and the point used from the point use guide message, and through the display unit 150 . indicate Therefore, the customer can read and recognize the accumulated points accumulated for them and the point where they are used.

On the other hand, as described above, the control unit 170 of the customer terminal 100 generates a recall request message including the redemption information in step S120. This step S120 will be described in more detail.

In addition, the guide image may optionally further include a guide message. The guide image is for inducing to take a recovery request image by placing the bowl in the guide spot GS on the screen, that is, in the circle of the dotted line. Accordingly, the guide message may be, for example, a message explaining how to use the guide image, such as "Adjust the bowl to be positioned on the dotted circle." In this case, the control unit 170 configures the guide image so that the background of the guide spot GS on the screen of the display unit 150 occupies an area greater than or equal to a preset multiple. Preferably, the control unit 170 configures the guide image so that the background of the guide spot GS on the screen of the display unit 150 occupies an area 5 times larger than that of the guide spot GS.

As shown in (B) of FIG. 7 , it can be seen that the area other than the guide spot GS, ie, the area occupied by the background, is several times larger than the area occupied by the guide spot GS on the entire screen. Accordingly, when the collection request image is taken according to the guide spot GS, it is easy to identify the vicinity of the location where the bowl is placed because the background occupies a large area in the recovery request image.

When the guide image is displayed, the customer device 100 will be moved to position the bowl in the dotted circle on the screen of the display unit 150 through a customer guidance message or the like. Accordingly, when the bowl is focused on the guide spot in the guide image through the camera unit 120 in step S330 in step S330, the control unit 170 of the customer terminal 100 captures and retrieves the guide image of the screen at the moment of focus in step S340. Create a requested image. At this time, the control unit 170 records the shooting time and shooting location as metadata of the recovery request image. The control unit 170 calculates the current location from the GPS satellite signal received through the location information unit 130 to derive the shooting location, and a watch application in which the current time is corrected through the GPS satellite signal received through the location information unit 130 . Get the current time from , and derive the shooting time. The photographing time corresponds to the recovery time, and the photographing position corresponds to the recovery position. Accordingly, according to the second embodiment, the shooting time and shooting location stored as metadata of the recovery request image become the recovery time and recovery location, and are treated the same as the recovery information.

Then, the controller 170 obtains the address of the service server from the address information of the information code 10 in step S350, the destination is the service server, and generates a recovery request message including the recovery request image. Such a recovery request image not only includes the recovery time and recovery location, but also provides an image, so that the bowl recovery agent can intuitively recognize the vicinity of the recovery location where the bowl is placed through the video, and it can Without confusion, it is possible to more clearly identify the vessels to be retrieved. That is, the collection information including the collection request image is transmitted to the collection terminal 300 through the collection instruction message. Then, the collection terminal 300 may extract the collection request image and the collection location from the collection instruction message and store it. And when the container recovery agent carrying the collection terminal 300 enters within a predetermined distance from the collection location, the collection terminal 300 may detect it from the GPS signal and display the collection request image and the collection location on the screen.

As described above, according to the present invention, the customer can easily operate his/her terminal to provide information on the timing and location of the bowl collection, thereby facilitating the bowl collection. Moreover, since points are provided as a reward for the information provided by the customer, it is possible to induce the customer's participation in the event.

Meanwhile, the methods for remote meter reading according to the embodiment of the present invention described above may be implemented in the form of a program readable by various computer means and recorded in a computer readable recording medium. Here, the recording medium may include a program command, a data file, a data structure, etc. alone or in combination. The program instructions recorded on the recording medium may be specially designed and configured for the present invention, or may be known and available to those skilled in the art of computer software. For example, the recording medium includes magnetic media such as hard disks, floppy disks and magnetic tapes, optical recording media such as CD-ROMs and DVDs, and magneto-optical media such as floppy disks ( magneto-optical media), and hardware devices specially configured to store and execute program instructions, such as ROM, RAM, flash memory, and the like. Examples of program instructions may include not only machine language wires such as those generated by a compiler, but also high-level language wires that can be executed by a computer using an interpreter or the like. Such hardware devices may be configured to operate as one or more software modules to perform the operations of the present invention, and vice versa.

Although the present invention has been described above using several preferred embodiments, these examples are illustrative and not restrictive. As such, those of ordinary skill in the art to which the present invention pertains will understand that various changes and modifications can be made in accordance with the doctrine of equivalents without departing from the spirit of the present invention and the scope of rights set forth in the appended claims.
