Referring to FIG. 1, the delivery mediation system 100 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention may be connected to a regional jurisdiction server 200 or 300, which manages each zone, through a communication network.

The regional jurisdiction server 200 or 300 according to an embodiment of the present invention can manage the merchant and the delivery person in the area. For example, the area jurisdiction server 200 that manages the area A can manage the merchants 212 and 214 and the delivery articles 222, 224, and 226 belonging to the area A, and the area jurisdiction server 300 that manages the area B, Can manage the merchant (312, 314, 316) and the delivery engineer (322, 324) belonging to the B zone.

According to one embodiment, the merchant may be a restaurant. It is for the convenience of explanation that the merchant is regarded as a restaurant, and the type of merchant is not limited to a restaurant, and may include any industry that needs delivery.

The delivery mediating system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention can acquire active delivery article information from the area jurisdiction server to which the merchant belongs when there is an order request from the merchant. And may also provide delivery information to delivery personnel belonging to the zone based on the acquired delivery article information. At this time, delivery information may be provided to the delivery article in consideration of the distance between the merchant requesting the order and the delivery article and / or the attitude of the delivery article.

The delivery mediating system 100 will be described in detail below with reference to Fig.

2, the delivery mediating system 100 includes a merchant / district control server matching unit 110, a merchant location DB 120, a delivery article DB 130, a delivery information management unit 140, ). ≪ / RTI >

The franchise shop / zone control server matching unit 110 can determine whether the corresponding franchisee is within the jurisdiction of the zone control server. For this, the merchant / zone control server matching unit 110 may have a list of the merchant sites that each zone control server manages. For example, the merchant / zone control server matching unit 110 may store the merchant ID managed by the individual zone control server as a database. Accordingly, if there is an order request from the franchisee, the franchise shop / district control server matching unit 110 can parse the ID of the franchisee to determine which zone server is included in the jurisdiction.

The merchant location DB 120 may store the location of each merchant in the database. Accordingly, the delivery information management unit 140, which will be described later, can grasp the location of the affiliated merchant from the merchant location DB 120 and preferentially provide the delivery information to a delivery engineer from the location of the identified merchant.

The delivery article DB 130 may manage delivery article information, e.g., location and work attitude information of the development delivery article. For example, the delivery article DB 130 can acquire and manage the position and working attitude information of individual delivery articles belonging to the zone from the zone jurisdiction server.

When the delivery request is received from the merchant, the delivery information management unit 140 may arrange delivery articles and provide delivery status information.

For example, if there is a delivery request from the merchant, the delivery request information may be provided to the merchant / zone control server matching unit 110 described above to identify the zone control server. The delivery information management unit 140 can obtain delivery article information from the identified zone control server. The delivery information management unit 140 may update the delivery article information obtained in the delivery article DB 130. [ Also, the delivery information management unit 140 can provide delivery information preferentially to the delivery article information at a location close to the merchant using the merchant location DB 120 and the delivery article information.

At this time, the delivery information management unit 140 can disadvantageously provide the delivery information when the working attitude is poor considering the working attitude of the delivery article. For example, the delivery information management unit 140 may provide the delivery information sequentially from the delivery article closest to the merchant, and may delay the delivery information providing time by a predetermined time when the delivery attitude of the delivery article is poor. More specifically, the delivery information management unit 140 may provide the delivery information to the delivery article having a poor attitude of work in several minutes or several seconds later.

The delivery information management unit 140 may provide the delivery information in consideration of the distance between the delivery article and the work attitude in consideration of the delivery article information when an accident occurs while the delivery article is performing the delivery request, can do. For example, when an event occurs while a delivery engineer is performing a delivery request, the delivery information manager 140 considers the delivery engineer information to inform the specific delivery engineer that the delivery engineer Delivery information can be provided. Thus, it is possible to flexibly deal with an accident occurring at the time of delivery.

According to one embodiment, a delivery article in which an accident occurs can provide incident-related information to the delivery information management unit 140 through, for example, an associated application. For example, the incident-related information may include at least one of an accident occurrence location information, an accident occurrence time information, and delivery information. In addition, when the delivery information management unit 140 acquires the incident-related information, the delivery information management unit 140 can deliver the incident-related information to the area management server to which the corresponding delivery article to be described later belongs.

Incidentally, the term " accident " in this specification includes any case where delivery is impossible, and may include, for example, a delivery traffic accident.

In addition, the delivery information management unit 140 may utilize various information to improve the convenience of scheduling related to delivery. For example, when the delivery information management unit 140 receives a delivery request from a merchant, the delivery information management unit 140 can receive the preparation time information required for preparation for delivery. The delivery information management unit 140 may provide the delivery status information to the purchaser or the merchant based on the collected information. The detailed description will be given later.

When the delivery is completed, the fare settlement unit 150 can reasonably distribute the fee among the merchant, the zone control server, and the delivery mediation system. For example, when the delivery is completed, the fare settlement unit 150 can receive the delivery charge from the merchant and provide it to the delivery engineer who has completed the delivery. In addition, the charge settlement unit 150 may receive a fee from the corresponding jurisdiction server.

The delivery mediation system has been briefly described above. Hereinafter, the zone jurisdiction server will be described. Since the A zone jurisdiction server 200 and the B zone jurisdiction server 300 correspond to each other, the A zone jurisdiction server 200 will be described for convenience of explanation.

Referring to FIG. 3, the area jurisdiction server 200 may include a delivery managment unit 230 and a charge settlement unit 240.

The delivery article management unit 230 can manage the delivery member of the A zone managed by the zone jurisdiction server 200. That is, the delivery article management unit 230 can manage whether or not the delivery article is in operation.

Furthermore, the delivery article management unit 230 may further include a work attitude management unit 232. The work attitude management unit 232 can manage work attitude information for each delivery article. The working attitude information refers to the degree of work satisfaction of the delivery article and is managed based on, for example, information on arrival of work, evaluation of a customer after completion of delivery, and information as to whether or not the customer has moved within the movement time .

The delivery managment unit 230 may provide the delivery agent information to the delivery agent system 100 at the request of the delivery agent system 100. [

When the delivery is completed, the fare settlement unit 240 can reasonably distribute the fee among the merchant, the zone control server, and the delivery mediation system. For example, the charge settlement unit 240 may receive a fee from a merchant requesting delivery. At this time, the charge settlement unit 240 may receive a fee in a manner of deducting the cost based on the number of deliveries among the money paid in advance from the merchant. In addition, the charge settlement unit 240 may pay the commission to the delivery mediating system 100.

In the above, the zone control server has been described briefly. It is needless to say that the functions of the delivery mediating system and the regional jurisdiction server described with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3 are not limited to the functions described above, but can also perform functions according to the following description. Hereinafter, a delivery mediation method according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described.

4 is a flowchart illustrating a delivery mediation method according to an embodiment of the present invention. For convenience of explanation, it is assumed that the merchant 212 belonging to the area A requests an order.

Referring to FIG. 4, a delivery mediating method according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a delivery request step (S100) in which a merchant requests delivery to a delivery mediating system, a delivery mediating system selects a zone management server to which the merchant belongs In step S110, the delivery mediation system requests delivery information to the zone management server in step S120. In step S130, the zone management server provides delivery article information. In step S130, the delivery intermediation system provides delivery information (S140), a specific delivery article accepting delivery (S150), and a delivery intermediation system providing delivery status information to the merchant and / or the purchaser (S160). Hereinafter, each step will be described.

The franchisee 212 may request delivery to the delivery mediation system 100 (S100). For example, the franchisee 212 may request delivery to the delivery intermediation system 100 if it receives a food delivery request from the purchaser. At this time, the franchisee 212 can provide the merchant ID, the delivery destination information, the payment information, and the delivery preparation time information together to the delivery mediation system 100. The delivery preparation time information may mean a time required for preparation for delivery from the merchant.

The delivery mediating system 100 can select a zone management server to which the merchant belongs (S110). The merchant / zone control server matching unit 110 of the delivery mediating system 100 can determine, based on the merchant ID, whether the merchant that requested the delivery is within the jurisdiction of the zone control server. Since the franchisee 212 is an affiliate shop belonging to area A, the franchise shop / area control server matching unit 110 can select the A area control server 200.

The delivery mediation system can request delivery article information to the zone administration server (S120). The delivery information management unit 140 of the delivery intermediation system 100 can request the delivery article information related to the delivery article active in the A zone to the A zone administration server 200. [

The zone control server may provide delivery article information to the delivery intermediation system (S130). The delivery managment unit 230 of the zone management server 200 may provide the delivery information management unit 140 with delivery article information related to a delivery man who is active within the A zone. At this time, the delivery article information may include the active delivery article ID, the current position of each delivery article, the working attitude information of each delivery article, and the current delivery status information.

The delivery mediation system may provide delivery information to at least one delivery person (S140). The delivery information management unit 140 of the delivery intermediation system 100 may provide the delivery information to the delivery person in various ways based on the delivery person information. For example, the delivery information management unit 140 can sequentially provide delivery information from a delivery article having a current position close to the merchant 212 requesting delivery. For this, the delivery information management unit 140 grasps the location of the franchisee 212 from the franchise location DB 120, and receives delivery information from the delivery engineer near the location of the franchise 212, Information can be provided. At this time, the delivery information management unit 140 may consider the working attitude of the delivery article.

Hereinafter, a delivery information providing method according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6. FIG.

5 and 6 are diagrams for explaining a delivery information providing method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 5, the delivery man 222 is located closest to the location of the merchant 212, then the delivery man 224 is located closer, and then the delivery man 226 is located.

In this case, the delivery information management unit 140 may first provide the delivery information to the delivery article 222 closest to the franchisee 212. Thereafter, it may provide delivery information to delivery article 224 after a predetermined waiting time, and may provide delivery information to delivery article 226 after a predetermined waiting time. According to one embodiment, the predetermined waiting time can be set in various ways such as 1 minute, 30 seconds, 1 minute, 30 seconds, and so on.

Accordingly, delivery information can be provided from a delivery article located nearby from the franchisee, so that prompt delivery can be achieved.

Also, in providing delivery information to the delivery article 222, the delivery article 224, and the delivery article 225, the delivery article 222 and / or the delivery article 224, which is preferentially provided with delivery information, If not desired, a delivery rejection message may be sent to the delivery intermediary system. In this case, the waiting time for receiving the delivery information among the delivery articles can be minimized, so that the delivery speed can be improved. At this time, the delivering article that sent the delivery rejection message can be regarded as contributing to the promptness of delivery, so that the attitude can be added to the working attitude.

According to one embodiment, the delivery information management unit 140 may further consider the delivery preparation time in providing the delivery information. For example, if the delivery preparation time provided by the franchisee 212 is 10 minutes, the delivery information management unit 140 sets the delivery information to be intensively provided to the delivery engineer who can reach the franchisee 212 within 10 minutes can do. More specifically, delivery manuscript 222 and delivery manuscript 224 shown in FIG. 5 are located within 10 minutes from merchant 212 and delivery manuscript 226 is located 20 minutes away, The delivery engineer 140 provides the delivery information to the delivery engineer 222 and the delivery engineer 224 in order and provides delivery information to the delivery engineer 222 and the delivery engineer 224 in the absence of the delivery acceptance, And may provide delivery information to the article 226. Accordingly, it is possible to speed up the delivery by considering the case where a delivery engineer located close to the merchant misses the delivery information.

Referring to FIG. 6, the delivery man 222 is located closest to the location of the merchant 212, then the delivery man 224 is located closer, and then the delivery man 226 is located. At this time, the delivery manuscript 224 assumes that the working attitude is poor.

In principle, the delivery information management unit 140 provides the delivery information to the delivery article in succession considering the distance between the franchisee and the delivery article. However, when the delivery attitude of the delivery article is poor, the delivery information management unit 140 delays the delivery information, I can not. Hereinafter, for the sake of convenience of explanation, it is assumed that the delivery time point is delayed.

That is, the delivery information manager 140 provides delivery information to the delivery article 222 closest to the merchant 212 and if the delivery article 222 does not accept the delivery, the delivery article 224 But may also provide delivery information to the delivery article 226. [ Thereafter, if the delivery article 226 does not accept the delivery, the delivery information manager 140 may provide the delivery information to the delivery article 224. Accordingly, the service quality of the delivery brokerage service can be improved by disadvantage of the delivery agent having poor working attitude.

In addition, the delivery mediation system 100 may select a method for providing delivery information to a delivery agent performing the current delivery, based on the current delivery status information of the delivery article information. For example, the delivery intermediation system 100 may not provide delivery information to a delivery agent that is currently performing delivery. Alternatively, the delivery intermediation system 100 may provide delivery information in the event that delivery is expected to be completed within the shipping preparation time, even if the particular delivery person is currently performing delivery. In addition, the delivery mediating system 100 may provide the delivery information when the delivery is expected to be completed within the delivery preparation time considering the shipping preparation time information.

The delivery mediation system 100 may also provide delivery information based on whether the number of deliveries being concurrently performed by the delivering agent currently performing delivery exceeds a predetermined number. For example, the delivery mediation system 100 may not provide delivery information regardless of the distance, if the number of simultaneous deliveries of a particular delivery article is three or more. This prevents excessive delivery from being concentrated to a particular delivery engineer. At this time, the number of deliverables that can be performed at the same time can be set based on the attitude of the delivering article. For example, when the working attitude is excellent, the number of deliverable operations can be higher than when the working attitude is bad.

Referring again to FIG. 4, a particular delivery engineer may accept delivery (S150). The delivering article that accepted the delivery may provide a delivery acceptance signal to the delivery intermediation system 100. At this time, the delivery acceptance signal may include travel time information required for the delivery engineer to arrive at the merchant 212. The delivery time information may be automatically calculated in consideration of the current delivery article position and the distance to the merchant 212, or alternatively may be entered arbitrarily by the delivery engineer. The delivery status information may be provided to the merchant and / or the purchaser (S160). Hereinafter, it is assumed that the delivery status information is provided to the merchant for convenience of explanation.

The delivery status information is information for managing the delivery status, and may include at least one of a wait time, a dispatch, a delivery progress, and a delivery completion. The dispatching condition refers to a state in which an order processing request has been received from a merchant but the dispatching has not been completed. The dispatching means that the delivery engineer is accepting the delivery and is moving to the merchant. And the completion of the delivery is a state in which the delivery person has completed the delivery. At this time, if the delivery status information is a wait for dispatch or dispatch, it goes without saying that delivery status information may be provided to the merchant and / or the orderer after step S100.

In addition, the delivery status information may include stereoscopic information such as a waiting time associated with delivery.

Reference will be made to Fig. 7 to further explain the delivery status information. 7 is a view for explaining delivery status information according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The interface shown in FIG. 7 can be utilized as an interface for confirming the delivery status at the merchant.

Referring to FIG. 7, orders 1 through 5 may be requested, order 1 and order 2 may be in a waiting state, order 3 may be a dispatch state, order 4 may be a delivery progress state, and order 5 may be a delivery completion state . At this time, in the case of the standby state such as the order 1 and the order 2, it is possible to provide the estimated time required for the dispatching. In addition, a delivery preparation time can also be provided. In case of the dispatch state as shown in order 3, the estimated time required to complete the delivery, the travel time information required for the delivery engineer to arrive at the merchant, and the current position information of the delivery engineer may be provided together. When the order 4 is in the delivery progress state, the estimated time required to complete the delivery and the current position information of the delivery article may be provided together. If order 5 is in the delivery complete state, it may be accompanied by a delivery rating evaluated by the purchaser and / or merchant.

In particular, the current position information of the delivery article may be displayed on the map for visual recognition.

The delivery information management unit 140 may update the delivery status information in real time and continuously provide the delivery status information to the merchant. As a result, the merchant can effectively grasp the status of delivery. For example, in the case of the standby state, the delivery preparation time can be scheduled in consideration of the planned dispatch time. In addition, when the delivery is in progress, the orderer can be informed of exactly when delivery articles can arrive.

According to one embodiment, when an accident occurs while the delivery engineer performs the delivery service, the delivery information manager can provide the delivery information stopped by the accident to the specific delivery engineer who is close to the delivery article in which the accident occurred and has excellent working attitude information have. To this end, the delivery information management unit can continuously receive delivery article information related to delivery articles in the corresponding zone from the zone control server, in particular, location information. Thus, if delivery becomes unavailable, an automatic delivery takeover system can be provided.

In addition, according to an embodiment, when there is a change in the order content after the order, the delivery information management unit can update the changed order information. In addition, the delivery information management unit can provide the changed order information to the zone control server.

Also, according to one embodiment, the delivery mediating system can grasp the number of deliveries that a specific delivery article is currently in charge of, and thus can be utilized as a determinant of delivering delivery information.
