Referring to FIG. 1, a logistics information service providing system 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes at least one logistics server 100, a logistics information service providing server 300, at least one user terminal 400, . ≪ / RTI > However, the logistics information service providing system 1 of FIG. 1 is only one embodiment of the present invention, and thus the present invention is not limited to FIG.

At this time, the respective components of FIG. 1 are generally connected through a network 200. For example, as shown in FIG. 1, at least one logistics server 100 and a logistics information service providing server 300 may be connected through a network 200. In addition, the logistics information service providing server 300 may be connected to at least one user terminal 400 through the network 200. Also, at least one logistics server 100 may be connected to the at least one user terminal 400 through the logistics information service providing server 300 through the network 200. [

Here, the network 200 refers to a connection structure capable of exchanging information between nodes such as terminals and servers. An example of the network 200 is an Internet, a LAN (Local Area Network) ), Wireless LAN (Local Area Network), WAN (Wide Area Network), PAN (Personal Area Network), 3G, 4G, LTE, Wi-Fi and the like. The at least one logistics server 100, the logistics information service providing server 300 and the at least one user terminal 400 shown in FIG. 1 are not limited to those shown in FIG.

At least one logistics server 100 may be a server that provides a delivery address, a delivery date, and a delivery history when providing a courier service, a delivery service, an electronic product installation service, and a rental business type coordination service. Also, at least one logistics server 100 may be a server having data to inquire when the logistics and installation service of its own will arrive or when it can be installed, for example, . At least one logistics server 100 may be a server that updates each event each time an article is moved, every time the article is delivered, and every time the article is delayed. Here, at least one logistics server 100 may be a server that manages at least one article information as a log, and may arrange at least one article information by time and place.

The logistics information service providing server 300 may be a server for extracting at least one article information distributed to at least one user terminal 400 and transmitting the extracted information to at least one user terminal 400. For example, the logistics information service providing server 300 can transmit at least one article information from 1400 to 1420 of Seocho 3-dong, Seocho-gu, which is the area covered by the A-delivery engineer, to the terminal 400 of the A- . At this time, the logistics information service providing server 300 can extract the article information of 1400 to 1420 of Seocho 3-dong, Seocho-Gu, using the identifier of the A delivery article as a keyword. Also, the logistics information service providing server 300 may map and store the lot number address and the road name address, and may store the lot number address and the road name address. If the user of the at least one user terminal 400 receives the road name address The problem of delayed delivery due to confusion can be eliminated. In addition, when receiving a delivery waiting message from at least one user terminal 400, it may transmit the information of the logistics having received the delivery waiting message to the at least one user terminal 400 in the next day.

For example, at least one user terminal 400 having received the message " Please come tomorrow " from the terminal of the recipient of the article can set the article to be "KEEP" To be delivered to the next day. In addition, the logistics information service providing server 300 can transmit information of articles to be shipped to the at least one user terminal 400 every morning every morning. The reason is that the delivery items assigned to at least one user terminal 400 are changed daily. At this time, the period may be set differently according to the user.

The at least one user terminal 400 can receive the information of the article to be delivered today from the logistics information service providing server 300. At least one user terminal 400 may display the information of the article on a map and may display an optimal route on the map based on the current position of the at least one user terminal 400. [ At this time, the at least one user terminal 400 can calculate the estimated arrival time according to the optimal route, and can map and store the estimated arrival time and the corresponding article, * We will ship the goods in minutes "message can be automatically sent. At this time, when receiving the delivery waiting or delivery delay message "Please come back tomorrow" or "Please come to *" from the receiving terminal, the route can be automatically set again according to the message. Here, when the message " Please come back tomorrow " is received, or when the input message of the hold setting is received from the user, the at least one user terminal 400 transmits the " KEEP " To the service providing server 300, and the logistics information service providing server 300 receiving the message transmits the goods information to the at least one user terminal 400 by including the information of the goods in the goods information to be transmitted to the next day . Also, at least one user terminal 400 may be synchronized with a navigation terminal (not shown) to be synchronized.

In addition, the at least one user terminal 400 may display the shortest path connecting the current point to at least one delivery point and the optimal path excluding traffic congestion. At this time, at least one user terminal 400 can display an optimal path in conjunction with navigation. The at least one user terminal 400 arranges the information on at least one article in the order close to the current point on the basis of the shortest path and the optimal path excluding traffic congestion, And maps the mapped arrival time information to the terminal of the recipient to receive at least one article. For example, suppose that the route is set to ABCD, the departure time is 10:10, the time between AB is 10 minutes, the time required between BC is 4 minutes, and the time between CD is 10 minutes. The terminal can send a message saying that it is going to arrive at 10:20. At this time, when at least one user terminal 400 receives a delivery waiting message from the terminal of the recipient, the at least one user terminal 400 maps the delivery waiting message and information about the goods, (300). Wherein information about the at least one article is represented by at least one color point and information of the recipient receiving at least one article on at least one point of color can be overlaid and at least one An event that selects a point in the color of

If so, information about the at least one article can be displayed. Here, even if it is not a dot, any image, symbol, text, or image can be identified. At this time, the at least one user terminal 400 may display the current position of the at least one user terminal 400 and at least one color point on the map together.

The at least one user terminal 400 may display and update information on at least one article each time a delivery completion event or a delivery waiting event occurs, To the information service providing server 300 and the at least one logistics server 100.

In addition, the logistics information service providing server 300 may collect the optimal route of the at least one user terminal 400 as log data, and may learn it and normalize the travel time for each time congestion road and the interval. Here, the current traffic situation can be set as a priority order. The thus learned and normalized optimal path is transmitted to at least one user terminal
