Description

Autonomous delivery distribution device and driving method of the device {Apparatus for Autonomous Delivery Distribution and Driving Method Thereof}

The present invention relates to an autonomous delivery distribution device and a method of operating the device. More specifically, the basic principle is autonomous distribution, but prevents a specific driver from being distributed first only under favorable conditions such as good goods/good distance/light goods. It relates to an autonomous delivery distribution device and a method of operating the device that constitute an autonomous delivery distribution system that allows all couriers to deliver parcels equally.

In systems related to shipping/delivery, such as agency driver/Baemin/Coupang, it is common to have a system in which any courier or delivery driver gets first priority depending on the destination or delivery location. Recently, Coupang has provided a system called Coupang Flex, which allows anyone, even if they are not a professional courier, to receive and deliver a certain amount of parcels from the warehouse like a courier. However, under the current system, courier work that can be done as a part-time job is delivery. The downside is that you cannot select the product.

The reason for this is that if anyone can deliver, problems may arise with professional drivers who currently do courier work full-time, and various problems may arise, such as choosing a convenient delivery location and selecting only light items.

Korean Patent Publication No. 10-1341848 (December 10, 2013) Korean Patent Publication No. 10-1853335 (2018.04.24) Korea Patent Publication No. 10-2021-0018407 (2021.02.17)

The embodiment of the present invention is basically based on the principle of autonomous distribution, but prevents a specific driver from receiving distribution first only under favorable conditions such as good goods/good distance/light goods and allows all couriers to deliver delivery goods equally. The purpose is to provide an autonomous delivery distribution device that constitutes an autonomous delivery distribution system and a method of operating the device.

The automatic delivery distribution device according to an embodiment of the present invention has a storage unit that stores the tag information of the tag attached to the delivery product and the condition value of the delivery product depending on the membership of the delivery driver delivering the delivery product. , and through the delivery driver's terminal device, determines whether the delivery product selected for delivery online satisfies the stored condition values, and according to the judgment result, the delivery driver collects the delivery product from the warehouse and delivers it to the recipient. It includes a control unit that terminates delivery of the delivery item selected online based on the captured image and location information obtained when scanning the tag.

When accessing online from the delivery driver's terminal device based on the stored tag information, the control unit may display delivery goods to be delivered by designated area on a map and provide a service screen.

The control unit may determine whether the condition value is satisfied by determining at least one of the quantity, delivery cost, volume, weight, and delivery distance of the delivery product selected on the delivery driver's terminal device.

The control unit may receive the captured image and the location information from a tag reader including a photographing unit that photographs the delivery item and a location generator that generates the location information.

The control unit may terminate the delivery by determining whether there is a misdelivery based on the received location information and destination information of the tag information stored in the tag.

The control unit may store different condition values for non-member delivery drivers who do not specialize in courier delivery and membership delivery drivers who specialize in courier delivery, respectively, in the storage unit.

In addition, the method of driving the automatic delivery distribution device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a storage unit containing tag information of a tag attached to a delivery product and a condition value of a deliverable delivery product according to the membership status of the delivery driver delivering the delivery product. A step of storing, and the control unit determines whether the delivery product selected for delivery online through the delivery driver's terminal device satisfies the stored condition value, and according to the determination result, the delivery driver collects the product from the warehouse and It includes the step of terminating delivery of the delivery item selected online based on the captured image and location information obtained when scanning the tag of the delivery item delivered to the recipient.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, in order to deliver courier goods, professional courier drivers or part-time courier drivers who deliver couriers as part-time workers distribute autonomously, but a specific driver distributes first only under favorable conditions such as good goods, good distance, and light goods. This will prevent receiving and all couriers will be able to deliver parcels equally.

In addition, in an embodiment of the present invention, when the RFID tag of the product is checked through a reader after delivery is completed, a photo is taken and the corresponding GPS information is used to notify the delivery recipient of delivery completion and notify the product collection point to delete the delivery list, thereby eliminating unnecessary After-sales work can be minimized.

Figure 3 is a block diagram illustrating the detailed structure of the automatic delivery distribution device of Figure 1, and
Figure 4 is a flowchart showing the driving process of the autonomous delivery distribution device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

Figure 1 is a diagram showing an autonomous delivery distribution system according to an embodiment of the present invention, and Figure 2 is a diagram briefly explaining the delivery flow through the system of Figure 1.

As shown in Figure 1, the autonomous delivery distribution system 90 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a delivery driver terminal device 100, a tag reader 110, a communication network 120, an automatic delivery distribution device 130, and Includes part or all of the recipient terminal device 140.

Here, “including part or all” means that the autonomous delivery distribution system 90 is configured by omitting some components such as the recipient terminal device 140, or that the components constituting the automatic delivery distribution device 130 are omitted. This means that some or all of it can be integrated into a network device (e.g., wireless switching device, etc.) constituting the communication network 120, and is explained as being entirely included to facilitate a sufficient understanding of the invention.

The delivery driver terminal device 100 is a professional delivery driver who signs up for the service of the automatic delivery distribution device 130 through the communication network 120 of FIG. 1 or a part-time delivery driver who signs up as a non-member (hereinafter referred to as a non-member). , part-time delivery driver)'s user terminal device. Of course, members access the service and go through a separate membership registration process, but in the case of non-members, this may mean that they can use the service one-time through their name, resident registration number, or phone number without a separate membership registration process. Of course, it can be understood that the embodiment of the present invention is intended to distinguish between professional delivery drivers and part-time delivery drivers, and will not be particularly limited to any one type.

The delivery driver terminal device 100 includes a desktop computer, a laptop computer, a tablet PC, a smartphone, and a wearable device such as the Galaxy*Sigear of a domestic company S that is worn on the wrist of a courier or product delivery driver. For example, systems related to shipping and delivery, such as agency driver, Baemin, and Coupang, have become widespread in that everyone selects first according to the destination or delivery location. Coupang calls it Coupang Flex, so anyone, even if they are not a professional courier, can work in a warehouse or warehouse like a courier. A certain amount of delivery items can be distributed and delivered at the goods collection point. In an embodiment of the present invention, in this system, both professional and part-time delivery drivers, or in the case of part-time delivery drivers, are prevented from being distributed first only under favorable conditions such as good goods/good distance/light goods, and all delivery drivers deliver the parcel equally. Use a service that allows you to deliver goods.

For this purpose, the delivery driver terminal device 100, for example, that of a part-time delivery driver, connects to the automatic delivery distribution device 130 through the communication network 120 and delivers (possible) delivery goods to each designated area. You can see a map showing . For example, if there are product collection points A, B, and C, you can access a specific storage area to check which parcels are waiting for delivery. Then, you can select the delivery item you want to deliver. Of course, the automatic delivery distribution device 130 sets standards that delivery drivers can select when registering delivery goods, or more precisely, membership and non-member delivery drivers, so that, for example, non-member part-time delivery drivers can select. When selecting a delivery item, the selection is made according to a preset standard value.

In other words, the automatic delivery distribution device 130 calculates the number, delivery cost, volume, weight, and distance of all items selected by delivery drivers, compares them with the standard value, and if the standard is not met, the corresponding item and its excess or deficiency are smartly registered. It is displayed on the screen of the delivery man's terminal device 100, such as a phone. For example, if the selected delivery item exceeds the quantity, it is notified that the quantity has been exceeded, or if only items with similar delivery distances are selected, it is notified to select a different item. Since the notification method can be implemented in various forms such as a pop-up window or voice output, the embodiment of the present invention will not be particularly limited to any one form.

The delivery driver of the delivery driver terminal device 100 can access the automatic delivery distribution device 130 online in advance, designate or reserve delivery items that he or she can deliver, and then arrive at the collection point for delivery. In this case, the part-time delivery driver acquires or collects the items designated by him and delivers them to the destination. If the delivery driver terminal device 100 includes a module that performs the same operation as an RFID reader, there is no need to use a separate tag reader 110. However, the items designated by the user can be scanned through the tag reader 110 in the storage area and the notification that the items have been delivered can be transmitted to the automatic delivery distribution device 130. When the delivered items arrive at the destination, the tag reader can be used again. It is possible to notify that delivery has been completed by transmitting a captured image or location information of the delivered product to the automatic delivery distribution device 130 through at least one of the device 110 and the delivery driver terminal device 100.

In this way, the tag reader 110 is used to read tag information from a tag attached to a delivered product. In other words, the delivery goods in the collection area or logistics warehouse according to the embodiment of the present invention do not print out and attach the waybill as before, but use the delivery invoice in order to not expose the information of the delivery sender or delivery recipient to the outside. Tags such as RFID are attached to each item and the stored information is read to enable courier delivery. Of course, these tags can also be in the form of barcodes or QR codes. Alternatively, it may be possible for a user who connects to the automatic delivery distribution device 130 to request delivery to directly print a barcode or QR code and attach it to the delivery item. Non-member part-time delivery drivers scan the items they have selected online through the tag reader 110 to notify them that they are delivering the items, and at the recipient's destination, they scan the items using the tag reader 110 to provide location information. By transmitting it to the automatic delivery distribution device 130, it is possible to notify that the delivery mission has been completed.

Of course, in the embodiment of the present invention, it has been explained that part-time delivery drivers, etc. use the tag reader 110 separately from the delivery driver terminal device 100, such as their smartphone. However, this is for convenience of explanation, and if the information in the tag can be read and processed through RFID communication with the tag on a smartphone, etc., it may be possible to install and use an application (hereinafter referred to as an app). In this case, courier delivery can be very simple. For example, when you run an app, the app will store a list of delivery items selected online. Therefore, when a part-time delivery driver arrives at the collection point and selects the scan button, internal information is acquired through communication with the tag attached to the item, camera shooting, or code scanning, and is compared with the information on the delivery item on the list. After determining whether there is a match, the goods can be delivered. Typically, it is possible to determine whether there are any errors in product selection simply by comparing the information of the sender and recipient.

In addition, in the embodiment of the present invention, even when the part-time delivery driver arrives at the recipient's residence, delivery completion can be notified using the tag reader 110, but when the tag is scanned by running an app such as a smartphone or the tag's When reading information, current GPS information can be generated through the GPS module inside the smartphone along with the captured video and transmitted to the automatic delivery distribution device 130. In this way, the tag reader 110 can process the above operations in conjunction with the delivery driver terminal device 100, but the smartphone can also collect and deliver delivery items only through the delivery driver terminal device 100, like a dedicated terminal. Since confirmation can be made, embodiments of the present invention will not be particularly limited to any one form.

The communication network 120 includes both wired and wireless communication networks. For example, a wired or wireless Internet network may be used or linked as the communication network 120. Here, the wired network includes an Internet network such as a cable network or public switched telephone network (PSTN), and the wireless communication network includes CDMA, WCDMA, GSM, Evolved Packet Core (EPC), Long Term Evolution (LTE), and Wibro networks. It is meant to include. Of course, the communication network 120 according to an embodiment of the present invention is not limited to this, and can be used in, for example, a cloud computing network in a cloud computing environment, a 5G network, etc. For example, if the communication network 120 is a wired communication network, the access point within the communication network 120 can connect to the telephone company's exchange office, etc., but in the case of a wireless communication network, it can connect to the SGSN or GGSN (Gateway GPRS Support Node) operated by the communication company to receive data. Data can be processed by connecting to various repeaters such as BTS (Base Transsive Station), NodeB, and e-NodeB.

Communication network 120 may include an access point. The access point here includes small base stations such as femto or pico base stations that are often installed in buildings. Femto or pico base stations are classified according to the maximum number of delivery driver terminal devices (100) and tag readers (110) that can be connected to small base stations. Of course, the access point may include a short-distance communication module for performing short-distance communication such as ZigBee and Wi-Fi with the delivery driver terminal device 100 and the tag reader 110. Access points can use TCP/IP or RTSP (Real-Time Streaming Protocol) for wireless communication. Here, in addition to Wi-Fi, short-range communication can be performed using various standards such as Bluetooth, Zigbee, infrared, radio frequency (RF) such as Ultra High Frequency (UHF) and Very High Frequency (VHF), and ultra-wideband communication (UWB). Accordingly, the access point can extract the location of the data packet, designate the best communication path for the extracted location, and forward the data packet to the next device, such as the automatic delivery distribution device 130, along the designated communication path. Access points can share multiple lines in a typical network environment and include, for example, routers, repeaters, and repeaters.

The automatic delivery distribution device 130 may include a platform, or server, that provides delivery or delivery-related services, such as a substitute driver, Baemin, or Coupang. The automatic delivery distribution device 130 is basically based on the principle of autonomous distribution, but prevents a specific (delivery) driver from being distributed first only under favorable conditions such as good (or easy) goods, good distance, light goods, etc., and all delivery drivers distribute equally. It operates so that parcel items can be delivered properly. For this purpose, the automatic delivery distribution device 130 manages the membership system (professional delivery driver) and non-member system (part-time delivery driver) separately, and for each member and non-member, the delivery cost of delivery goods (e.g., profit of the delivery driver or part-time delivery driver), After setting each standard unit based on the number of delivery items, weight of delivery items, volume of delivery items (e.g. packaging size), and delivery distance, if the minimum standard is not met or the maximum standard is exceeded, the delivery item is Avoid distribution.

In this way, the automatic delivery distribution device 130 manages the delivery cost, number of items, weight, volume, and delivery distance, which are the standards for delivery items, and also uses the existing waybill to prevent the information of the delivery sender and recipient from being exposed to the outside. Instead of printing (e.g., printing the invoice for the product received from the customer at the shipping point and attaching it to the delivery item), an RFID tag is attached to each delivery item, and the delivery driver uses an RFID reader equipped with a camera module and communication module and sends it to the warehouse. When the product is shipped, you will be checked to see if it is the product you applied for on the web. The automatic delivery dispensing device 130 may participate in this operation.

In other words, when the delivered goods are delivered to the warehouse or when received at the delivery location, a tag is attached to the delivered goods. Of course, the tag can be attached by the sender as mentioned above, but the tag information of the attached tag is scanned. It is transmitted to the automatic delivery distribution device 130 via the communication network 120 of FIG. 1 and stored in the DB 130a. Accordingly, the automatic delivery distribution device 130 displays the delivery information of the delivered goods stored in the DB 130a on a map, more precisely, distinguishes the collection point and provides a service screen so that confirmation can be made on the delivery driver terminal device 100. will be. This operation represents steps from S200 to S220 in FIG. 2.

In addition, the automatic delivery distribution device 130 is selected by a delivery driver, such as a non-member part-time delivery driver, through information on the delivery item displayed on the map provided by the delivery driver terminal device 100, or more precisely, a pre-stored delivery service. The product information of products judged to meet the standard value is classified by delivery driver and stored again in the DB 130a. Accordingly, delivery drivers collect and deliver products based on which products they have selected online and the stored product information upon arrival at the warehouse. In Figure 2, S230 to S260 indicate this.

For example, the automatic delivery distribution device 130 can set standards for determining products as follows. The limit on the number of daily deliveries can be set to a maximum of 100 to a minimum of 50 for members, and a maximum of 10 to a minimum of 1 for non-members. Additionally, shipping costs can be set to not exceed a maximum of 300,000 won for members and a maximum of 50,000 won for non-members. In terms of volume, for members, it is set to not exceed a maximum of 1.6m × 2.8m × 2m in height based on 1 ton of vehicle, and for non-members, the maximum is 0.8m × 1.4m × 1m in height and a minimum of 0.4m × 0.7m in height. × Height can be set to 0.5m. In the case of volume, the automatic delivery distribution device 130 may calculate the numerical value using simulation through a program, so it will not be particularly limited to any one form. The reason for restricting the maximum and minimum volume for non-members can be seen as a regulation to prevent the delivery of only easy items if the volume is too large, which may pose a risk during delivery, and if the volume is too small, it can be seen as a regulation to prevent the delivery of only easy items. In the case of weight, the maximum weight is 1 ton for members, the maximum is 100 kg, and the minimum is 20 kg for non-members. The reason for limiting the maximum and minimum weight for non-members is to prevent the delivery of only easy items if it is too heavy, and if it is too light, there is a risk of delivery. This is a regulation for In the case of distance, the maximum is 100 km for members and the minimum is 50 km. This is to prevent even members from traveling only the minimum distance, and for non-members, the minimum distance can be set to 10 km. For non-members, there is no maximum distance limit. This is because only one can be shipped. Of course, the above standards are only examples and may be changed depending on the intention of the system designer.

In particular, when measuring weight, the sum can be done using pre-stored weight data for each item based on the information on the delivered item. In the case of distance, after specifying the location on the map data, the distance on the map can be analyzed through pixel analysis, etc. You can calculate the actual distance by measuring it and then reflecting the accumulation ratio, but if distance data for each location is already stored, it may also be possible to use it.

Furthermore, the automatic delivery distribution device 130 takes a photo and sends the corresponding GPS information to the delivery recipient when the delivery driver collects the goods he has designated from the warehouse and checks the RFID tag of the product through the reader 110 after completing delivery. Minimize unnecessary follow-up work by notifying delivery completion and notifying the product collection point to delete the delivery list. In Figure 2, step S270 shows this. Based on the contents of this, each collection point may be equipped with a separate computer, and the computer can delete the delivery list according to the list deletion request of the automatic delivery distribution device 130.

The recipient terminal device 140 is a user terminal device of the recipient who receives the delivery product. Includes terminal devices such as smartphones and wearable devices. If you install the app to use the service, you can receive notifications regarding receipt of goods through the app, but you can also receive notifications through SMS text messages.

As a result of the above configuration, the embodiment of the present invention allows anyone to make deliveries, thereby reducing the problems that arise between professional drivers who currently do delivery as a full-time job and part-time delivery drivers who can do delivery work as a part-time job, and also reduces the problems that arise between delivery address selection and delivery. It will be possible to eliminate various problems such as choosing only light items.

Figure 3 is a block diagram illustrating the detailed structure of the automatic delivery distribution device of Figure 1.

As shown in FIG. 3, the automatic delivery distribution device 130 of FIG. 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a communication interface unit 300, a control unit 310, an autonomous delivery distribution unit 320, and a storage unit 330. ) includes part or all of.

Here, “including part or all” means that the automatic delivery distribution device 130 is configured by omitting some components, such as the storage unit 330, or that some components, such as the autonomous delivery distribution unit 320, are configured by the control unit. It means that it can be configured by being integrated with other components such as (310), and is explained as being all-inclusive to facilitate a sufficient understanding of the invention.

The communication interface unit 300 communicates with the delivery driver terminal device 100, the tag reader 110, and the recipient terminal device 140 via the communication network 120 of FIG. 1, respectively. In the process of performing communication, the communication interface unit 300 performs operations such as modulation/demodulation, muxing/demuxing, encoding/decoding, and scaling to convert resolution. Here, resolution conversion means rearranging pixel data to implement an optimal image according to the screen size.

The communication interface unit 300 provides a service screen under the control of the control unit 310 when a service request is made from the delivery driver terminal device 100 of a membership-based professional delivery driver or a non-membership system part-time delivery driver. In addition, the communication interface unit 300 processes operations related to selecting an item to be delivered from, for example, a part-time delivery driver's delivery terminal device 100 through the provided service screen. For example, in the case of a part-time delivery driver, it is determined whether the delivery item is selected to meet the preset conditions, and if it is suitable, this is notified to the delivery driver terminal device 100 so that a selection that meets the conditions is made.

In addition, the communication interface unit 300 receives tag information when a tag attached to an article is scanned by the tag reader 110 and provides it to the control unit 310. In addition, tag information, captured images, and location information provided by delivery drivers after completing delivery of the parcel to the recipient are received and provided to the control unit 310, and upon request from the control unit 310 when delivery of the parcel is completed. Accordingly, this fact is notified to the recipient terminal device 140 of FIG. 1.

The control unit 310 is responsible for the overall control operation of the communication interface unit 300, autonomous delivery distribution unit 320, and storage unit 330 of FIG. 3. The control unit 310 can be viewed as performing the same operations as shown in FIG. 2 in conjunction with the autonomous delivery distribution unit 320. Typically, when a delivery item with a tag is received in a warehouse, the control unit 310 receives tag information from the tag reader 110, etc. and stores it in the DB 130a of FIG. 1. Afterwards, when a service request is made from the delivery driver terminal device 100, the delivery goods to be delivered for each designated area are displayed on the map. Since the user interface (UI) screen can be provided in various forms, embodiments of the present invention will not be specifically limited to any one form.

Above all, the control unit 310 performs operations in conjunction with the autonomous delivery distribution unit 320 and uses autonomous distribution as a principle to prevent a specific delivery driver from being distributed first only under favorable conditions such as good or convenient goods or convenient distance. In other words, all couriers ensure that delivery items are delivered equally. However, delivery conditions are different for membership-based professional couriers and non-membership-based part-time couriers. The control unit 310 performs these operations in conjunction with the autonomous delivery distribution unit 320.

The autonomous delivery distribution unit 320 sets different standards for membership-based professional delivery drivers and non-membership part-time delivery drivers so that all delivery drivers can deliver delivery items equally based on the principle of autonomous distribution. Therefore, the autonomous delivery distribution department 320 manages professional couriers and part-time couriers separately, and determines whether they meet the delivery standards based on the delivery cost, number of delivery items, weight, volume, and delivery distance of the delivery goods according to preset standards. is determined, and when it meets the delivery standards, the delivery information of the relevant delivery goods is stored in the storage unit 330.

For example, the autonomous delivery distribution unit 320 may adjust the standard based on the quantity of delivered goods. In other words, since professional delivery drivers are operated on a monthly salary system, the volume of professional delivery drivers is allocated preferentially, and the delivery volume of non-members can later be provided to part-time delivery drivers. Therefore, when the total delivery volume decreases, priority is allocated to professional delivery drivers, so such setting standards can be seen as being made flexibly depending on the number of shipments. For example, it may be proportional.

In addition, the autonomous delivery distribution unit 320 visits the warehouse based on the delivery information selected by the delivery driver terminal device 100 online and provides product information and product information scanned by, for example, a part-time delivery driver using the tag reader 110. By comparing, you can determine whether the items you wish to deliver have been properly collected. To this end, the autonomous delivery distribution unit 320 can check delivery address information and destination information, or compare the names of the deliverer and recipient. For example, if delivery of a total of 5 items is selected online and meets the criteria, and the selected items are properly obtained from the warehouse, delivery is made. The autonomous delivery distribution unit 320 is involved in all of these processes.

Furthermore, even after the product is delivered to the destination, the autonomous delivery distribution unit 320 receives location information such as tag information, captured video, and GPS information of the product provided by the destination to confirm whether delivery has been completed properly. To this end, the autonomous delivery distribution unit 320 can previously store GPS information about the location of the destination. For example, when GPS information is received through the delivery driver terminal device 100 or the tag reader 110 at the destination, they are compared and matched. When doing so, relevant information is notified to the recipient terminal device 140.

Above all, the autonomous delivery distribution unit 320 according to an embodiment of the present invention attaches a tag to an item and utilizes a tag reader 110 that reads the tag information stored inside the attached tag, thereby preventing personal information from being exposed to the outside world. prevent exposure to The autonomous delivery distribution unit 320 sets different delivery standards for membership-based professional delivery drivers and non-membership-based part-time delivery drivers and ensures delivery is made accordingly. Since the standards have been sufficiently explained above, I would like to replace them with the contents.

The storage unit 330 temporarily stores various data processed under the control of the control unit 310. For example, when tag information for products is provided from a logistics warehouse, the tag information can be classified and stored based on the identification information of the warehouse. of course. This process is also possible to load and store data previously stored in the DB 130a. In addition, the storage unit 330 can temporarily store the data analyzed and processed by the autonomous delivery distribution unit 320 under the control of the control unit 310, and then systematically classify and store the data in the DB 130a of FIG. 1.

In addition to the above, the communication interface unit 300, control unit 310, autonomous delivery distribution unit 320, and storage unit 330 of FIG. 3 can perform various operations, and other details have been sufficiently explained previously. I would like to replace it with contents.

The communication interface unit 300, control unit 310, autonomous delivery distribution unit 320, and storage unit 330 of FIG. 3 according to an embodiment of the present invention are composed of hardware modules that are physically separated from each other, but each module is It will be possible to store software to perform the above operations internally and execute it. However, the software is a set of software modules, and each module can be formed as hardware, so there will be no particular limitation on the configuration of software or hardware. For example, the storage unit 330 may be hardware, such as storage or memory. However, since it is possible to store information through software (repository), the above content will not be specifically limited.

Meanwhile, as another embodiment of the present invention, the control unit 310 may include a CPU and memory, and may be formed as a single chip. The CPU includes a control circuit, an arithmetic unit (ALU), an instruction interpretation unit, and a registry, and the memory may include RAM. The control circuit performs control operations, the operation unit performs operations on binary bit information, and the command interpretation unit includes an interpreter or compiler, which can convert high-level language into machine language and machine language into high-level language. , the registry may be involved in software data storage. According to the above configuration, for example, at the beginning of the operation of the automatic delivery distribution device 130, the program stored in the automatic delivery distribution unit 320 is copied, loaded into memory, that is, RAM, and then executed, thereby increasing the data operation processing speed. can increase rapidly.

Figure 4 is a flowchart showing the driving process of the autonomous delivery distribution device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

For convenience of explanation, referring to FIG. 4 together with FIG. 1, the autonomous delivery distribution device 130 of FIG. 1 is a courier service that can be delivered according to the tag information on the tag attached to the delivery product at the collection point and the membership status of the delivery driver delivering the product. Save the quantity standard value (S400). Here, the reference value may be condition data. For example, the number of items selected should not exceed the maximum value, and the weight or distance should also be within the range of the minimum and maximum values. Accordingly, the autonomous delivery distribution device 130 can pre-store a program for such calculation.

In addition, the autonomous delivery distribution device 130 determines whether the delivery item applied for online in the part-time delivery driver's terminal device, that is, the delivery driver terminal device 100 of FIG. 1, satisfies the pre-stored condition value, and Accordingly, delivery of the delivery item selected online is completed based on the captured video and location information obtained when the delivery driver scans the tag of the delivery item collected from the warehouse and delivered to the recipient (S410).

In this process, the autonomous delivery distribution device 130 checks the delivery goods and stores the delivery quantity data when it meets the conditions in the storage, and the parcel acquired at the collection point (or logistics warehouse) based on the stored delivery quantity data. When the delivery of the goods is completed, the captured image and location information of the delivered goods obtained by scanning the tag are notified to the user terminal device of the recipient who received the delivered goods. Of course, here, the recipient may include a representative such as a spouse, so the notification of information may refer to the user terminal device in which the phone number is recorded.
