While the present invention has been described in connection with certain exemplary embodiments, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiments, but, on the contrary, is intended to cover various modifications and similarities. In the following description, well-known functions or constructions are not described in detail since they would obscure the invention in unnecessary detail. It should be understood, however, that the invention is not intended to be limited to the particular embodiments, but includes all modifications, equivalents, and alternatives falling within the spirit and scope of the invention.

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

First, a product delivery processing system according to the present invention will be schematically described as follows. That is, as shown in FIG. 1, the applicant terminal 10 owned by the customer who desires to deliver the goods and the carrier terminal 20 possessed by the carrier who wishes to carry out the delivery of the goods directly to the goods delivery processing server 100, And are preferably connected to each other through a wireless communication network 30. The applicant terminal 10 and the transporter terminal 20 may be mobile terminals capable of moving such as a mobile phone, a smart phone, a laptop computer, a PDA (Personal Digital Assistants) . In addition, the applicant terminal and the transporter terminal may each be provided with a separate application program capable of performing the article delivery process by the article delivery server 100. [

2, the article delivery processing server 100 according to the present invention includes a member management module 110, a carrier management module 120, a delivery processing module 130, a matching module 132, The shipping module information database 183 and the transportation operator information DB 183 as the database pool 180. The database DB 181 stores the transportation database DB 181, (184), and a delivery history DB (185). The function and role of each module and database pool constituting the article delivery processing server 100 will be described in more detail with reference to a flowchart of the article delivery processing process according to the present invention shown in Fig.

First, when the applicant terminal 10 and the transporter terminal 20 access the server 100, a membership registration procedure is performed (SlOO). That is, the member management module 110 induces a member registration procedure to the applicant who desires to deliver the goods (S10), and records and manages various member information received from the applicant terminal 10 in the member DB 181. Here, the member information received from the applicant terminal 10 includes, for example, information such as name, address, and contact (telephone number) of the applicant who desires to deliver the product, as well as account information Etc., and the member management module 110 may individually acquire member information input from a plurality of applicants through an individual applicant identification code (which may be an identification code selected by the applicant or a member identification given by the member management module) It can be converted into a database.

Next, the transporter management module 120 induces a member subscription procedure to the transporter who intends to deliver the goods (S20), and transmits various member information, such as name, address, contact information, etc. of the transporter And the account information to which the fee to be paid in payment of the goods delivery is deposited is stored in the carrier DB 182 and managed. Further, the carrier management module 120 may request the carrier to input information about the main moving information, for example, the main moving time zone, the starting point and the destination, during the member registration process of the carrier. The recorded information of the main circulation line of the transporter may be utilized as the circulation information of the transporter in the delivery matching process described later.

Next, the applicant who has completed membership registration inputs delivery application information for delivering the goods to the server 100 (S11). Here, the delivery application information is information input by the applicant who wants to deliver the goods, while applying for delivery, and includes the desired delivery time, origin and destination information received from the applicant terminal 10, And information such as contacts, name and contact information of the transporter to which the article is to be delivered, and the like. The received delivery application information is recorded in the delivery application information DB 183 in correspondence with the applicant identification number of the applicant. FIG. 4 shows an example of a user interface displayed through an application program driven by the applicant terminal 10. As shown in FIG. The applicant inputs necessary data on the screen displayed through his / her applicant terminal 10 and transmits it as delivery application information to the server 100. The delivery processing module 130 receives the data and sends it to the delivery application information DB 183 with the applicant identification code assigned to the applicant terminal 10 or the applicant's member ID (S110).

On the other hand, the member (i.e., the carrier) who is subscribed as the bearer can arbitrarily transmit his / her own copper line information to the server 100 at a desired time (S21). The carrier management module 120 receives the carrier information of the carrier from the carrier terminal 20 in real time and records the carrier information in the carrier carrier information DB 184. At this time, the member who is a member of the bearer, for example, transmits his / her member information (i.e., bearer information, including a member ID) through a user interface (see FIG. 5) displayed through an application program driven by his / (Which may be matched to the carrier identification code) and information on the time zone (i.e., travel time information), the departure location and the destination location to be moved. The carrier management module 120 records the received copper line information in the carrier's copper line information DB 184 together with the carrier identifier assigned to the carrier or the carrier terminal (S120).

In addition, when receiving the delivery application from the applicant terminal 10, the matching module 132 compares the delivery application information corresponding to the delivery application information with the copper line information of the carrier collected in real time, and extracts at least one carrier list S130). That is, the matching module 132 compares the delivery application information DB 183 and the carrier's copper line information DB 184, and obtains movement time information included in the delivery application information, And one or more carrier identification codes that include the destination as copper information. For example, if the originator address agrees with the destination address and the destination address matches the destination address, among the transporters who have specified the travel time included in the predetermined time interval within the specific time and time zone desired by the applicant who wants to deliver the delivery, To select a carrier. This sorting process is a process in which the matching module 132 reads the delivery application information DB 183 and sends a list of carriers corresponding to a specific delivery application (preferably a delivery control code can be given to manage the delivery application) And extracted through the copper line information DB 184.

Next, the delivery processing module 130 transmits the delivery application information to one or more carrier terminals 20 corresponding to each of the one or more carrier identification codes extracted by the matching module 132, and receives the delivery application information Receives the delivery acceptance information from one or more transporter terminals (20), transmits to the applicant terminal (10) the transporter information matched to the transporter identification code corresponding to each of the one or more transporter terminals (20) , Receives a request for selection of specific carrier information from the applicant terminal 10, requests the carrier terminal 20 corresponding to the received specific carrier information to perform delivery, receives the delivery result information from the carrier terminal 20, To the terminal (10).

That is, if the carrier identification code matching the corresponding delivery application is extracted through the matching module 132, the delivery processing module 130 proceeds to the carrier identification process (S140). In the bearer confirmation procedure, information related to the requested delivery (i.e., delivery application information) is transmitted to the bearer terminal 20 corresponding to the bearer identification code extracted by the matching module 132 (S141). The carrier who has received the delivery application information from among the plurality of carrier terminals 20 determines whether to perform the delivery application (S22) and transmits the delivery acceptance information through its own carrier terminal 20 (S23) .

When the delivery acceptance is received from the transporter terminal 20, the delivery processing module 130 proceeds to the delivery application confirmation and payment processing procedure (S150). That is, the delivery processing module 130 transmits to the applicant terminal 10 the carrier information for at least one carrier matched with the carrier identifier corresponding to the carrier terminal 20 requesting delivery acceptance (S151). At this time, the applicant confirms the carrier information through the applicant terminal 10, and if the carrier information is transmitted to a plurality of carriers, the applicant can select a specific carrier (S12). When the applicant terminal 10 selects a specific carrier, it is determined that the delivery application has been made definitively, and the procedure necessary for payment of the shipping fee from the applicant through the settlement / settlement module 140 is performed. And accepts the settlement (S13).

When the carrier selection and settlement is completed from the applicant terminal 10, the delivery processing module 130 requests the carrier terminal 20 corresponding to the specific carrier selected by the applicant terminal 10 to perform the delivery (S152). Accordingly, the transporter visits the destination requested by the delivery applicant while moving the route to which the user wants to move, receives the article, and also visits the transport destination requested by the delivery applicant to deliver the article. When the delivery of the goods is completed, the delivery result S25 is transmitted to the server 100 through the carrier terminal 20 (S24). The delivery processing module 130 transmits the delivery result information S161 to the applicant terminal 10 after receiving the delivery completion from the carrier terminal 20 and confirms the delivery completion from the applicant terminal 10 at step S160.

Next, when the final confirmation is accepted from the applicant terminal 10, a procedure for paying a fee to the carrier through the settlement / settlement module 140 is performed (S170). That is, after the delivery processing module 130 finally confirms the delivery result from the applicant terminal 10, the payment / settlement module 140 sends a predetermined fee to the payment account of the carrier registered in advance in the carrier DB 182 When the fee payment procedure is completed, the delivery processing module 130 transmits a message informing that the fee payment has been processed to the carrier terminal 20 (S171).

Thereafter, when the corresponding application for distribution is completed, the distribution history management module 134 matches the processing information performed for the corresponding distribution to, for example, the distribution management code assigned to the distribution application, 185) (S180).
