An embodiment related to the display of the home pad application 300 will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 3 , and an embodiment related to the display of the mobile application 400 will be described with reference to FIG. 4 . The home service server 120 communicates with the infrastructure server 150 in addition to the home pad application 300 and the mobile application 400 . The infrastructure server 150 may be a server that controls the infra of the complex, that is, the elevator 151, the automatic door 153, etc. In particular, the IoT sensor 155 installed for each household in the complex, for example, motion detection It is also possible to control a sensor and a door open detection sensor. The home service server 120 may detect the user's presence through the IoT sensor 155 . Specifically, the IoT sensor 155 utilizes a motion detection IoT sensor and a door open sensor, and the motion detection sensor may be attached to the ceiling of the entrance, and the door open detection sensor may be attached to the front door. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. When the door open detection sensor detects a door open in a situation where the motion sensor detects a movement, it may be detected that the user has gone out. Similarly, when the door open detection sensor detects the door open in a situation in which no movement is detected by the motion sensor, it may be detected that the user has returned. When the home service server 120 detects the user's presence by using the IoT sensor in this way, it inquires whether there is delivery information and delivery starts. A process after the home service server detects the user's presence will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 8 and 9 .

Note that 'user' as used throughout this application may be the same person as 'recipient' or may be a different person. The recipient designated by the sender is called a 'recipient'. In some cases, the 'recipient' directly receives the goods in the delivery system, but another person living in the same household as the 'recipient' may receive it, so the household of the 'recipient' A person who lives in is called a 'user'. That is, 'user' includes both 'recipient' and 'other people of the household in which the payee lives'.

The control server 130 communicates with the storage box server 110 and the home service server 120 , and manages and controls the delivery robot 200 and the entire robot delivery system 100 . The control server 130 may further include a mission server for managing a delivery schedule of the delivery robot 200 . The detailed configuration of the control server 130 and the delivery robot 200 will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 2 .

In the delivery robot system within the complex, the process starts while the delivery person stores the items in the storage box 500 within the complex.

<How my robot delivery system works>

9 is a flowchart for explaining the operation method of the robot delivery system within the complex.

Referring to FIG. 9 , the delivery person stores the goods in the storage box 500 and inputs information ( 910 ), and the delivery system starts. The process of storing the goods by the delivery person proceeds as described in FIGS. 6a to 6h. The storage box server 110 generates and stores storage information based on this (915), generates and stores delivery information (920), and transmits the delivery information and storage information to the control server 130 (925). The delivery information may include at least one of delivery address information, recipient information, product classification information, delivery code, and password. The storage information may include a storage box number and a storage box password in which the items in the storage box 500 are stored. The control server 130 stores ( 930 ) the delivery information and storage information, and transmits ( 935 ) the delivery information to the home service server 120 . The home service server 120 stores (940) delivery information, and when a user's presence is detected from the IoT sensor 155, the home service server 120 requests delivery to the control server 130 and accordingly the control server 130. controls the delivery robot 200 . Since this process is the same as that described in FIG. 8, it will be briefly described. As described in FIG. 8 , when the IoT sensor 155 detects door opening 810 while no movement within the household is detected, the home service server 120 inquires 820 whether or not delivery information is present and delivery information is present. If it does, a delivery request is made to the control server 130 (830). The control server 130 inquires (840) the storage information 840 and controls (850) the delivery robot 200 based on the delivery information.

However, as described with reference to FIG. 1 , the process may be performed differently depending on the item classification information identified by the control server 130 from the delivery information. For example, in the case of courier service, when a delivery request is received from the home service server 120 when the presence of a user within the household is detected as described above, the control server 130 controls the delivery robot 200, In this case, since most of the cases the user placed an order while in the household, the order may proceed regardless of the user's presence. For example, when the item classification information of the delivery information is food, the control server 130 delivers only the delivery information and storage information to the home service server 120 (935), and the home service server 120 stores it (940). ), it may be implemented to control (850) the delivery robot 200 according to the order in which delivery information and storage information are generated directly from the control server 130 . That is, in the case of parcel delivery, storage and delivery information are stored according to the item classification information, and delivery starts when a user's presence is detected. there is.

When the control server 130 controls the delivery robot 200 to move to the storage box 500 , the delivery robot 200 presents storage information to the storage box 500 ( 950 ) to the storage box as described in FIGS. 5A and 5B . The article is delivered from ( 500 ) ( 955 ). When the goods are delivered from the storage box 500 to the delivery robot 200, the storage box 500 transfers processing information to the storage box server 110 (960), and the storage box server 110 transmits to the control server 130 ( 965), and the control server 130 transmits (970) to the home service server 120 . The home service server 120 may transmit this information to the home pad application 300 and the mobile application 400 . The user may check the delivery information through the home pad application 300 or the mobile application 400 as described with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4 .

The control server 130 controls the delivery robot 200 to move the delivery robot 200 to the delivery location based on delivery information ( 980 ). When the delivery robot 200 arrives at the delivery destination, as described in FIG. 7 , when the password entered by the user matches the password in the delivery information, the delivery robot 200 opens the trunk in which the goods are placed and completes delivery.
