Description

Product delivery system and delivery method of shopping mall {Transport system for shopping mall}

The present invention relates to a merchandise delivery system of a shopping mall, and more particularly, purchases and pays a merchandise with an RFID tag in which various kinds of information are recorded using a mobile terminal having an RFID reader, and stores the goods at a store. The present invention relates to a product delivery system and method of a shopping mall that enables a customer's vehicle to be delivered to a location of a parking lot where a vehicle is parked.

In general, RFID can record and track information, and at the same time, it can be attached to any product such as clothing or electronics because of its small size. In addition, it is possible to record a variety of information such as the movement process, the current state, the purchase history of the goods that can not be performed in the conventional bar code.

At present, with the development of the IT industry, RFID is applied in various fields. In Korea, it was the first to be introduced in airport and port cargo systems in logistics and distribution. The baggage system uses RFID to handle the whole process of cargo, and airports and airlines in each country use RFID to search and track cargo. In recent years, as RFID extends to logistics distribution in agriculture, the limitations of the application of RFID gradually disappear, and as the application of RFID spreads, various systems that can use it have been developed.

In addition, as RFID is introduced into a distribution and logistics system, a manufacturer may automatically instruct a worker which vehicle to load by using an RFID attached to a product when the product is shipped. When the goods are released from the vehicle arriving at the distributor, the management system recognizes the RFID-attached product information, checks the quantity and items automatically, approves the delivery and automatically recognizes where it will be placed. It can be placed in the position, and the placed product is reflected in the inventory quantity. In addition, each time a customer purchases a product, the amount of inventory reduced by the purchase amount is reduced, and when the stock is not enough, information can be sent to the inventory warehouse to induce a product order.

The advantages of RFID in logistics distribution are as follows.

1) Improvement of Goods Receipt:

In the retail industry, products are supplied through various distribution chains. At the point of supply of goods, the retail industry has various problems, such as the hassle of checking goods individually for individual quantity identification, labor cost according to goods entering and leaving, and identifying inventory according to goods entering and leaving.

This problem can be overcome by automating the process of entering the store from the point of product supply and building it in the warehouse. When RFID is applied, RFID is attached to the container, transport pallet, and product box of individual products and products supplied by distribution chains. Receive automatically. Product delivery details are automatically reflected in inventory data in real time in conjunction with inventory systems.

It is possible to improve the errors of inventory data generated by manual operation when identifying existing warehouses, and to reduce shipping costs by improving the warehouse process.

2) Improvement of store shelf inventory:

When there is no product to be purchased on the shelf at the time of purchase, the customer often gives up the purchase without taking an active action for the purchase. Product shortages have a devastating impact on customers' returning visits as well as a drop in sales as customers give up buying opportunities.

In-store inventory maintenance can be managed by controlling the inventory of the products in the shelf in real time. When RFID is attached to in-store goods, RFID readers and antennas can monitor the location of all tagged goods and update inventory by real-time monitoring of product status in-store.

If the total is insufficient when placing goods on a store shelf, the system automatically sends a message to the clerk's mobile terminal to notify them of inventory shortages and indicates that restocking is needed at the warehouse's sales location. Since the stock signal was sent to the warehouse receiver in advance, it is easy to find the product so that it can be quickly filled in the store.

3) Keep the product fresh:

Grocery stores often sell products with an incorrect shelf life, which in turn hurts consumers and hurts sales and corporate image. Reducing errors in shelf life at distribution centers can effectively reduce product returns and inventory due to incorrect shelf life. At the same time, it will provide customers with fresh products every day, which will increase their store visits.

Since RFID chips can contain much more information than barcodes, they are placed on store shelves on a daily basis through readers on the basis of data such as the origin, date of manufacture, shelf life, distribution process, and date of shipment, which can identify product freshness. By checking the product status of the old products, you can retrieve the products that have passed their expiration date and keep the product fresh.

4) Streamline purchasing and payments:

Most customers do not find a product in the store, or spend most of their time waiting in line for payment. In addition, they have to travel to complex stores to find the products they want, and they feel a lot of inconvenience in purchasing such as burdensome employees who are forced to purchase. Payment also takes a lot of time because each product must go through a manual barcode recognition.

When you arrive at the store, you can easily find out where your favorite products are displayed by using a shopping cart equipped with RFID, and decide whether to purchase the goods through various information stored in RFID and automatically put them in the shopping cart. You don't have to wait at the cashier to pay for the goods.

5) Theft Prevention:

Tagging goods is not new to prevent theft in the store. However, the current focus is on alerting employees when their location has been relocated due to theft or loss of goods.

Like conventional systems, RFID has a function of detecting a product through a frequency attached to a product, and additionally, it can identify a case of suspicious behavior on a store shelf.

6) Return and Warranty Improvements:

In the case of a retailer, it is difficult to manage the return management efficiently, causing problems such as excessive spending of management costs, input of dedicated personnel, and handling customer complaints. In addition, in order to reduce the cost of exchanges, the return management policy is strictly regulated, causing customer complaints.

Improvements in return management, in terms of cost savings, can increase revenue opportunities, reduce inventory cycle times and process costs through efficient return management. In terms of relationship with customers, it plays a role in increasing customer loyalty and increasing sales.

The improvement of the return process is a detailed record of the product purchase history in RFID when the product is sold. Purchasing history information can identify various information such as product status, salesperson, product location, selling price, payment form, etc., and can act as a goods guarantee to reduce the loss of invalid returns when returning.

Various RFID application examples are as follows.

1) Clothing field

-Gap: Since 2001, each product has been tagged with an electronic tag and tracked from the distribution center to the store.

Leverage RFID to automate incoming and outgoing inspections to store receipts, RFID inventory throughout the entire clothing logistics process, from inventory identification to real-time inventory of goods placed on store hangers, store product information services, store payment automation, and theft prevention Technology was applied.

2) Distribution field

Wal-Mart: As a leader in the introduction of RFID technology, it has the advantage of being able to easily find information about products in the store. In addition, the temperature can be input to the RFID chip, so it checks the fruit or frozen products that need temperature control in the distribution process every 30 minutes, and automatically detects and informs when the temperature exceeds a certain temperature range. Of course, it is possible to prevent the product from being damaged during distribution.

Metro: The technology is that the shopping cart is equipped with RFID and simply passes through the cash register and is automatically calculated and charged to the credit card. It also allows you to see how many shopping carts are in use in the store, opening and closing more checkout counters depending on the number of shopping carts, so you spend less time waiting at the checkout counter.

Homeplus: RFID attached to a customer's shopping cart allows them to see how they move in the store and where they stay and how long they stay. Based on this information, congested space is distributed.

3) aviation field

-Asiana: RFID tags are assigned to passengers and passenger baggage during the entire baggage process. All information about the baggage's current location, processing time, and handling history is sent to customers and managers so they don't have to find their luggage and wait for their arrival.

4) Publishing Distribution Field

-Buksen: Logistics center located in Paju, Gyeonggi-do, manages the receipt and shipment of books through RFID attachment. Each book is tagged so that all information is managed by the system. In the conveyor belt, which is a movement route, books are classified through a reader that reads RFID information for each process. In addition, recently, just before packing, it has been added to determine whether the order has been processed according to the specified order and to classify the faulty container separately.

5) Dog field

-Dog Association of Korea: Attach dogs with RFID chips to find the whereabouts of a raised dog or owners of abandoned dogs.

The product delivery system 1000 of the shopping mall includes a central server 1100 and a tag information database. 1110, a parking lot RFID reader 1200, a mobile terminal 1300, and a delivery management server 1400.

The parking lot RFID reader 1200 is provided at a place where a vehicle of a consumer who visits a shopping mall is parked. The parking lot RFID reader 1200 may be provided in plurality, or may be provided in each parking area or each parking space in which a vehicle of a consumer is parked. The consumer's vehicle is attached with an RFID tag including information of the vehicle or identification information of the driver (buyer), and if such a vehicle is parked in an arbitrary parking area, the parking lot RFID reader 1200 provided in the corresponding parking area. Receives information from an RFID tag attached to a vehicle. The parking lot RFID reader 1200 may receive information from an RFID tag of a vehicle including an RFID antenna, and based on the information, identification information of the vehicle and information regarding a location where the vehicle is parked may be received by a central server ( 1100, and the transmitted information is stored in the tag information database 1110.

The mobile terminal 1400 is a terminal that a consumer can carry and includes an RFID reader. The merchandise displayed on the shelves of the shopping mall is attached with an RFID tag that contains information of the merchandise, such as price, expiration date, manufacturer, and whether or not it is an event product. The RFID reader embedded in the mobile terminal 1400 reads the information from a tag attached to the product and displays the information on a display means included in the mobile terminal 1400 to provide information on the product to the consumer. In addition, the consumer can obtain the information by hovering the mobile terminal 1400 on the tagged product and store it in the purchase list. Information about the goods stored in the purchase list is transmitted to the central server 1100 together with identification information about the consumer carrying the mobile terminal 1400. The identification information about the consumer may be a consumer's social security number or the like, or may be the same as the information about the vehicle of the consumer parked in the parking lot. The mobile terminal may also be a mobile phone or a PDA. When using the same identification information as the RFID tag information attached to the vehicle parked in the parking lot, the mobile terminal 1400 having the RFID reader embedded therein is brought to the RFID tag of the vehicle to acquire and store the identification information. Can be. On the other hand, the mobile terminal 1400 is preferably implemented as a mobile phone or PDA that can perform the payment through a predetermined authentication procedure according to the purchase according to the consumer's instructions.

The delivery management server 1300 stores a specific product in a purchase list of the mobile terminal 1400 by the consumer, and when the information is transmitted to the central server 1100, the command according to the command from the central server 1100. The goods are moved (primary delivery) from the shelves in the store to the storage.

Alternatively, the driver reads information about the driver (consumer) and transmits the information to the central server 1100 (S213). The central server 1100 may determine the parking position of the vehicle of the consumer from such information, and the obtained information is stored in the tag information database 1110.

Figure 2b shows the process from the purchase of goods to the first delivery.

When a consumer enters a store of a shopping mall, the shopping mall side provides a purchase-only mobile terminal 1400. The mobile terminal 1400 may be provided by a shopping mall, but may also be a mobile phone or PDA owned by a consumer, but is not limited thereto. When the consumer finds a product to be purchased and brings the mobile terminal 1400 having the RFID reader embedded in a tag attached to the product, the product may be stored in the purchase list (S221). When the information on the tag attached to the purchased product is obtained through the mobile terminal 1400, the information is transmitted to the central server 110 (S222). In this case, identification information of the consumer having the mobile terminal 1400 may be transmitted together. The consumer identification information may be information about itself or information about a car parked in a parking lot. In the case of information on a vehicle, the information may be stored in the mobile terminal 1400 in advance by bringing the mobile terminal 1400 having the RFID reader embedded therein into a tag attached to the vehicle. When information on the purchased goods and identification information about the user (or the car) are transmitted to the central server 110, the central server 110 transmits this information to the delivery management server 1300, and the delivery management server 1300. The customer delivers the goods purchased by the consumer to the goods storage (first delivery) (S223). On the other hand, if the goods purchased through this process is delivered to the goods storage, the same goods stored in the goods storage or warehouse is shipped to the store (S224), and thus the store can always maintain an appropriate amount of inventory. The first delivery may be performed by a rail and a cart or a baby stroller moving on the rail, and may be performed by an elevator moving up and down. Alternatively, the two-way rail may be used to release goods from the storage to the store. have.

FIG. 2C illustrates a process until the second delivery of the purchased goods stored in the goods storage to the vehicle of the consumer parked in the parking lot after the purchase of the goods is completed.

When the consumer finishes shopping, the mobile terminal 1400 inputs the intention or command for the second delivery (S231). In other words, at the end of the shopping period, he expresses his intention to deliver the purchased items stored in the storage to his vehicle. By doing so, it is possible to eliminate the possibility of theft caused by the delivery of the goods from the storage at the end of the shopping, and the waiting time due to the unexpectedly late delivery. The doctor or command of the second delivery is also transmitted along with the identification information of the consumer or the vehicle stored in the mobile terminal 1400.

The doctor or command regarding the second delivery is transmitted to the central server 1100 (S232). The central server 1100 compares the identification information of the consumer transmitted from the mobile terminal 1400 with the identification information transmitted by the parking lot RFID reader 1200 stored in the tag information database 111. When the identification information that matches the identification information of the consumer transmitted from the mobile terminal 1400 is found, the location of the vehicle corresponding to the identification information is detected, and it is determined as the destination of the second delivery (S233). When the destination of the second delivery is determined, information on the second delivery and consumer identification information transmitted through the mobile terminal 1400 are transmitted to the delivery management server 1300. The delivery management server 1300 delivers the goods purchased by the consumer stored in the goods storage to the location where the vehicle of the consumer is parked through the information (S234). In the present invention, this is referred to as secondary delivery, which may be performed through a transportation means such as a cart or a smart scooter.

Through the first and second delivery, it is possible to easily deliver the goods purchased at the shopping mall to the location where the vehicle is parked through the goods storage, thereby obtaining the convenience of not having to carry the purchased goods. At the same time, it can raise the desire to purchase goods.

In addition, by the order of the consumer at the end of the shopping order is delivered from the luggage storage to the location where the vehicle of the consumer is parked, the possibility of theft due to the delivery is too early and the wait due to too late The need for time can be eliminated.

On the other hand, not only the delivery from each store to the storage of goods but also the delivery from each storage of goods to the store can be facilitated to maintain an appropriate inventory of the goods.

As shown in Figure 6 and 9, the transport system 500 of the present invention is a first such as a rail for transporting the goods (1) purchased through the purchase system 100 to the goods storage (5) A transport consisting of a second transport device 530 such as a cart for transporting the goods stored in the transport device 510 and the goods storage 5 to the vehicle of the buyer P parked in the parking lot 7. It is desirable to include a system 500.

In addition, the first conveying apparatus 510 is basically two rails moving in different directions installed between the store 3 and the store 3 or between the store 3 and the product storage 5 or the warehouse. It is preferred to be configured.

In addition, the second conveying device 530 is preferably composed of a shopping cart or an intelligent scooter or a motor vehicle for moving the goods 1 between the goods storage 5 and the parking lot 7.

Next, the purchase and delivery process of the goods according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

First, when the buyer P visits the shopping mall 10, the shopping mall 10 provides the purchaser P with a purchase-only terminal 130 that can be operated only in the shopping mall 10.

Next, when the purchaser P approaches the purchase-only terminal 130 to the product 1 at the store 3 in the shopping mall 10, the purchaser P is registered in the purchase list of the purchase-only terminal 130, and the purchase is made. Query whether it is a payment and make a payment according to the result.

When the purchase payment of the product 1 is made in the store 3, the product purchased from the store 3 is delivered to the product storage 5 or the warehouse via the first transport device 510. In addition, if the goods (1) purchased in the store (3) is optionally carried to the goods storage (5) or warehouse, the goods (1) stored in the goods storage (5) or warehouse to the store (3) By delivery, the store 1 always keeps the goods 1 in proper stock.

An example of a product purchase to delivery in the shopping mall 10 according to the present invention in the form of a scenario is as follows.

1) Grandmother Choi Hyang-sook, who was watching a four-year-old grandson after working for a double-earned couple, drove to the shopping mall (10) called Pai City. As soon as we entered the land of Picity, the navigator in front of the car said, “Welcome. This is Pai City. "Please follow the road all the way to the parking lot."

2) Upon entering the underground parking lot, the navigator guided the empty parking space and the nearest elevator to the grandmother's current location. Grandma and grandson watched an advertisement projected on the wall while waiting for the elevator in a nearby elevator hall.

3) Upon arriving at the entrance of the shopping mall 10 via an elevator, a moving walk, a moving system 300 consisting of two rows of rails, was in front of the grandmother and grandson. Grandma grabbed grandson's hand and got on moving walk. The moving walk 300 was divided into two parts while moving toward the same direction. First, the innermost run continues at the same speed, while the outermost stops in the middle. Every time the hand bar on the outside disappears and some people naturally move the moving walk (300). Recently, Grandmother Choi Hyang-sook, whose behavior slows down a bit, was scared to get off each time he used the moving walk. However, I was able to watch this scene and rest assured. Moving walk 300 was a conventional conveyor belt of a beautiful color rather than a cold mechanical feeling of gray color and was in harmony with the surrounding natural environment.

4) The moving walk 300 traversed the central garden and was able to see the beautiful nature of the central garden and the events taking place in various places. Moving walk 300 was covered with a ceiling, but both sides were open, so many people went into the central garden. The grandson saw a lawn chair in the central garden and suddenly wanted to go out. The grandmother and grandson who stood at the innermost side moved outward and pressed the button on the hand bar waiting for the moving walk 300. When the moving walk 300 stops and the hand bar disappears, the moving walk 300 is lowered. While playing with the grandson for a while in the central garden, grandmother led the grandson back to the walking walk (300) to enter the shopping mall (10).

5) Inside the shopping mall 10, most people who got off the moving walk 300 went to the nearby sculptures and touched the sculptures. Then, the sticker-like device 130 that comes out attached to his clothes or cuffs. Grandma first saw this and asked the passing robot what it was. The robot kindly said that it is ID Flex 130, and in this shopping mall 10 (building), ID Flex 130 is used to purchase and find items, and also to obtain various information. After the robot asked if you would like to be issued to my grandmother, I helped her to issue an ID flex 130 with her.

6) Grandma attached the ID flex 130 from the sculpture to the wrist and told the robot how to use. Honestly, the grandmother could not handle the machine was afraid to use the ID Flex 130, listening to the description of the robot was able to use very easily because it works by voice. Grandma was also given a grandchild ID Flex 130 and attached to the wrist.

7) When the grandmother said "moving mechanism" to the ID Flex 130, ID Flex 130 will show a variety of mobile devices on the screen, so if you want to display the letter to press the screen. Various mobile devices are shown, and the movement aid 310 called silbo having the function of electric power was selected. Then asked whether the child accompanied, and if yes, asked if it was attached to the stroller 310 that can burn the child. Responding to do so, ID Flex 130 showed the nearest mobile device storage to the grandmother and acted as a navigation guide to her grandmother and grandson.

8) There were several doors in the mobile device storage room, and I asked the ID Flex 130 how to do it, and one of the grandmother to contact the ID Flex 130, ID Flex 130 expressed in letters. Then the door opened and the mobility aid came out with the stroller that she wanted. The grandmother put the grandson in the stroller, dragged the mobility aids to the shopping mall (10).

9) On the indoor road 300 toward the shopping mall 10, the grandmother marked the road with an arrow so as to walk on the edge of the road. The indoor road 300 flowed in the center of the street of the large shopping mall 10, and the road was divided in both directions as in the monorail. The innermost road was a fast moving device 310, such as a scooter or a small car, and the outermost road had wheels, such as a mobility aid or a wheelchair, but pushed by hand, the slow moving devices (310). In addition, between the two relatively fast, but not fast moving devices such as bicycles 310 were running. Each road had a different floor color and several mobile device icons appearing along the road.

10) leaving the mobile device 310 at the entrance of the shopping mall 10 enters the shopping mall 10 with the grandchildren, the mobile device 310 has gone somewhere. In front of the embarrassed grandmother, a woman came out of the mall (10). A short time later, the scooter-type mobile device 310, which appears to be her, came to the front. The grandmother put the goods purchased in the shopping mall 10 into the storage space, and disappeared somewhere in the mobile device 310. 'Then my auxiliary equipment that ran away will come to find me later'. Entered the shopping mall 10 with.

11) In the store 3 in the shopping mall 10, various products 1 were placed on a shelf. Underneath was a table with the name and price of the product, and I looked around and found something I like. As I heard from the robot, I went to the ID tag 130 attached to the wrist to the name tag. Then the name and price of the product (1) under the item 'steamed' was stored in the ID flex 130. The process was repeated by looking around several stores (3) nearby.

 12) While looking at these and other products, I found a favorite product (1). Grandma contacted the ID Flex 130 with the product name tag in order to purchase this product (1). The finger called 'payment' displayed on the screen of the ID flex 130 was pressed lightly. Surprisingly, the payment method appears as a credit card method and the grandmother's credit card number is displayed on the screen for identity verification. When I entered the shopping mall 10, I never opened my wallet, but I felt that once again I touched the sculpture and grasped all the information with my grandmother's fingerprints. On the screen of the ID Plex 130, there was an authentication request to take another woman's fingerprint. Grandma knows the importance of security in such a reality that information is easily passed around.

13) After the settlement, the questions about the receipt of the product 1 were again displayed on the screen of the ID flex 130. The grandmother had a grandson, so she chose a store (5) in the parking lot (7) that she can find when she goes home. When asked if you want to confirm before sending the purchased item (1), the grandmother said he would still do so.

14) When the decision was made to confirm, the grandmother moved to the product confirmation site located in the store (3), where there was a door at the height of the desk on the wall. Approaching the ID flex 130 to the door, the door opened and the conveyor belt came out. The goods 1 paid on it were loaded. The grandmother unpacked the goods and confirmed, and spoke to the ID flex 130 to take the confirmed object. Then, the goods 1 again entered the wall by the conveyor belt 510 and the door was closed.

15) Suddenly, Grandma found her grandson missing. The grandmother who was contemplated calmly asked the ID flex 130 where the grandson. Then, the ID flex 130 guided the grandmother like navigation where the grandson, grandmother found the grandchildren in the adjacent rest room space. The grandson was sitting in a chair there and watching a cartoon. Thought to rest for a while, Grandma sat next to his grandson.

16) Seeing her grandson immersed in an image of a screen wrapped in front of her, she thought she should compare the items she saw today. When I held it in my chair and put my hand on the armrest, a small screen came up from the armrest of the chair. Approaching the ID flex 130 on the screen, the screen was turned on, the items that the grandmother 'steamed' (1) appeared. Grandma compared here and pointed her favorite product (1) with her fingers. Then, the information on the purchase decision appeared on the screen of the ID flex 130. After payment, a question about the receipt of the goods was asked, and Grandma chose the goods storage 5 in the parking lot 7.

17) Not long after the stage, the grandson saw his grandmother after the animated film. Grandmother told the ID flex 130, "moving device (310)," and soon moved in front of the mobile device 310 was in front. Grandson was put in the stroller, grandmother operated the automation system on the mobile device grandmother got on the mobile device (310). Slightly speeding up the mobile device 130 automatically entered the center portion of the indoor road (300). Looking around, the width of the road that I saw was slightly different. As the number of people using the central part of the road, such as those who ride the automated mobile device 310 and those who ride bicycles, is wider than that of those who walk. My grandmother was astonished at her heart, but she didn't try to make her look ugly to others.

18) The grandmother spent the day with her grandchildren after continually visiting the shopping mall (10) and making a purchase, having lunch at a restaurant and getting enough rest in the rest area. Although the shopping mall 10 is the first time, it is not easy to find the necessary place in the shopping mall 10, the ID Flex 130 and the navigation function of the mobile device 310 could find all the desired places. The return time of the children's couple is near, and the grandmother decides to take her grandson home. Grandmother's car was taken to the elevator near the parking lot (7) was moved to the mobile device (310). When the grandmother and grandson moved away from the mobile device 130, the mobile device again left somewhere.

19) I went down to the basement by elevator and found a store (5) to find the goods I bought today. Again, the ID Flex (130) to say "goods storage" guided the way. Not a few feet out of the goods storage (5) came out, a few doors in front of the ID flex 130 again, the door opened and the goods (1) bought by my grandmother came out today. Next to the product storage 5, the robot combined cart 530 was arrange | positioned. The robot combined cart 530 asked the grandmother to take the goods (1) now when the door was opened. Then, the robot combined cart 530 loaded the merchandise 1 on the cart installed behind his back and went to the grandmother's parked car. When he opened the trunk of the parked car, the robot put the goods (1) purchased in it and returned to his seat.

20 Grandmother comfortably rode the underground parking lot (7) in the car with her grandson. As you exited the underground parking lot (7), the navigation in the car showed the image "Goodbye." In addition, as soon as the underground parking lot 7 exited, the ID flex 130 that was immediately worn on the wrist was turned off. Waiting for the road signal at the entrance of the Picity Complex, Grandma took off the ID Flex 130 that had been attached to her wrist for a while. The grandson said he didn't like it. The grandson continued to order the ID flex (130) is turned off and asked my grandmother to go again tomorrow.
