For example, if the coordinates of the center point are (x,y) and the delivery area size information is 8m, the information of four vertices can be generated so that the length of one side of the square centered at the center point is 8m. The coordinates in the northwest direction may be (x1, y1), the coordinates in the northeast direction may be (x2, y2), the coordinates in the southwest direction may be (x3, y3), and the coordinates in the southeast direction may be (x4, With y4), information on four vertices of the delivery area can be generated as latitude and longitude information.
