Apparatus for Autonomous Delivery Distribution and Driving Method Thereof

The present invention relates to an autonomous distribution distribution device and a method of driving the same, and more specifically, autonomous distribution is basically in principle, but a specific article is prevented from being distributed first only under favorable conditions such as good goods / good distance / light goods. It relates to an autonomous delivery distribution device constituting an autonomous delivery distribution system that allows all courier drivers to equally deliver parcels and a method of driving the device.

In systems related to delivery/delivery, such as proxy drivers, Baemin, and Coupang, a system in which the courier or delivery driver first preoccupies the delivery system is common, depending on the destination or delivery location. Recently, Coupang has also provided a system called Coupang Flex that allows anyone who is not a professional courier to receive and deliver a certain amount of courier items from a warehouse like a courier. There is a downside to not being able to select Gina items.

This is because, if anyone can deliver, problems may arise with professional drivers who currently work as couriers, and various problems may occur, such as selecting a convenient delivery destination and selecting only light items.

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

1 is a diagram showing an autonomous delivery distribution system according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a diagram for briefly explaining a delivery flow through the system of FIG. 1 .

As shown in FIG. 1, the autonomous delivery distribution system 90 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a delivery driver terminal device 100, a tag reader 110, a communication network 120, an automatic delivery distribution device 130, and It includes part or all of the recipient's terminal device 140.

Here, "including some or all" means that the autonomous delivery distribution system 90 is configured by omitting some components such as the recipient terminal device 140, or the components constituting the automatic delivery distribution device 130. This means that some or all of them can be integrated into a network device (eg, a wireless switching device, etc.) constituting the communication network 120, and will be described as including all of them to help a sufficient understanding of the present invention.

The delivery driver terminal device 100 is a professional courier driver subscribed to the service of the automatic delivery distribution device 130 through the communication network 120 of FIG. , Alba courier driver) includes a user terminal device. Of course, the member accesses the service and proceeds with a separate membership sign-up procedure, but in the case of a non-member, it may mean that the service can be used once through a name, resident registration number, or phone number without a separate member sign-up procedure. Of course, it may be understood that the embodiment of the present invention is intended to distinguish between a professional courier and a part-time courier, and will not be particularly limited to any one form.

The delivery driver's terminal device 100 includes a desktop computer, a laptop computer, a tablet PC, a smart phone, and a wearable device such as a domestic S company's Galaxy*Shi gear worn on the wrist of a delivery driver or a delivery driver. For example, systems related to delivery and delivery, such as substitute driver, Baemin, and Coupang, are universally selected by everyone first according to the destination or delivery location, and in Coupang, it is called Coupang Flex. A certain amount of courier goods can be distributed and delivered at the goods collection point. In the embodiment of the present invention, in such a system, both professional courier drivers and part-time courier drivers, or in the case of part-time courier drivers, are prevented from being distributed first only under favorable conditions such as good goods / good distance / light goods, and all courier drivers are equally delivered Use a service that allows you to ship items.

To this end, the delivery driver terminal device 100, for example, the delivery driver terminal device 100 of the part-time courier driver connects to the automatic delivery distribution device 130 through the communication network 120 and delivers (possible) delivery goods for each designated area You can see a map showing For example, if there are goods collection points A, B, and C, it is possible to access a specific collection point and check which parcels are waiting for delivery. And, you can select the courier goods you want to deliver. Of course, the automatic delivery distribution device 130 sets standards for delivery drivers to select when registering courier items, more precisely, for membership and non-member delivery drivers to select, so that, for example, non-member part-time delivery drivers When selecting a courier item, the selection is made according to a predetermined reference value.

In other words, the automatic delivery distribution device 130 calculates the total number of items, shipping cost, volume, weight and distance selected by delivery drivers, compares them with reference values, and if the criteria are not met, the corresponding item and excess or insufficient contents are smart It is displayed on the screen of the delivery driver terminal device 100 such as a phone. For example, if the selected delivery item exceeds the quantity, it is notified that the quantity is exceeded, or when only items with similar delivery distances are selected, it is notified to select another item. Since the notification method may be formed in various forms such as a pop-up window or audio output, it will not be particularly limited to any one form in the embodiment of the present invention.

The delivery driver of the delivery driver terminal device 100 may access the automatic delivery distribution device 130 online in advance, designate or reserve delivery items that he/she can deliver, and then arrive at the collection point for delivery. In this case, the part-time courier driver acquires or collects the goods designated by him and delivers them to the destination. When the delivery driver terminal device 100 includes a module that performs the same operation as an RFID reader, a separate tag reader 110 does not need to be used. However, it is possible to scan the items designated by the item through the tag reader 110 in the collection point and transmit the fact that the item is delivered to the automatic delivery distribution device 130, and when the item arrives at the destination, the tag reader 110 and the delivery driver's terminal device 100 through at least one device through the photographing of the delivery goods or location information is transmitted to the automatic delivery distribution device 130 can be notified that the delivery has been completed.

As such, the tag reader 110 is used to read tag information from a tag attached to a delivery product. In other words, the delivery goods in the collection point or distribution warehouse of the delivery goods according to the embodiment of the present invention are not used by printing out the waybill as in the past, but in order not to expose the information of the delivery sender or the delivery recipient to the outside. A tag such as RFID is attached to each item, and information stored therein is read so that parcel delivery is made. Of course, such a tag can be made in the form of a barcode or QR code. Alternatively, it may be possible for a user requesting delivery by accessing the automatic delivery distribution device 130 to directly print a barcode or QR code and attach it to the delivery item. The non-member part-time delivery driver scans the items he or she selects online through the tag reader 110 to notify that the item will be delivered, and at the destination of the recipient, scans the item with the tag reader 110 to obtain location information. By transmitting to the automatic delivery distribution device 130 together with, it is possible to notify that the delivery mission has been completed.

Of course, in the embodiment of the present invention, it has been described that part-time courier drivers and the like use the tag reader 110 separately from the delivery driver terminal device 100 such as their own smart phone. However, this is for convenience of description, and it may be possible to install and use an application (hereinafter referred to as an app) on a smartphone, etc., if information in the tag can be read and processed through RFID communication. In this case, courier delivery may be very simple. For example, when an app is launched, a list of delivery items selected online will be stored in the app. Therefore, when a part-time courier driver arrives at the pickup area and selects the scan button, internal information is acquired by communication with a tag attached to the item or through camera shooting or code scanning, and compared with the information of the courier item in the list. After determining whether or not they match, delivery of the goods may be performed. Typically, it is possible to determine whether there is an error in the selection of goods simply by comparing the information of the sender and the recipient.

In addition, in the embodiment of the present invention, even when the Alba courier driver arrives at the recipient's residence, the delivery completion can be notified using the tag reader 110, but when the tag is scanned by running an app such as a smartphone, or when the tag is When the information is read, the current GPS information can be generated through the GPS module inside the smartphone along with the captured image and transmitted to the automatic delivery distribution device 130. In this way, the tag reader 110 can process the above operation in conjunction with the delivery driver terminal device 100, but collects and delivers delivery goods only through the delivery driver terminal device 100 like a smart phone dedicated terminal. Since confirmation can be made, the embodiment of the present invention will not be particularly limited to any one form.

The communication network 120 includes both wired and wireless communication networks. For example, as the communication network 120, a wired or wireless Internet network may be used or interlocked. Here, the wired network includes an Internet network such as a cable network or a public switched telephone network (PSTN), and the wireless communication network includes CDMA, WCDMA, GSM, EPC (Evolved Packet Core), LTE (Long Term Evolution), Wibro network, etc. is meant to include Of course, the communication network 120 according to an embodiment of the present invention is not limited thereto, and may be used, for example, in a cloud computing network or a 5G network under a cloud computing environment. For example, when the communication network 120 is a wired communication network, an access point within the communication network 120 can access an exchange center of a telephone company, but in the case of a wireless communication network, it accesses an SGSN or GGSN (Gateway GPRS Support Node) operated by a communication company to transmit data. or data can be processed by connecting to various repeaters such as BTS (Base Transsive Station), NodeB, e-NodeB, etc.

The communication network 120 may include an access point. The access point here includes a small base station such as a femto or pico base station that is often installed in a building. A femto or pico base station is classified according to the maximum number of units of the delivery driver terminal device 100 and the tag reader 110 that can be connected to the small base station. Of course, the access point may include a short-range communication module for performing short-range communication such as ZigBee and Wi-Fi with the delivery driver terminal device 100 and the tag reader 110. The access point may use TCP/IP or Real-Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP) for wireless communication. Here, short-distance communication may be performed in various standards such as Bluetooth, ZigBee, infrared, radio frequency (RF) such as ultra high frequency (UHF) and very high frequency (VHF), and ultra-wideband communication (UWB) in addition to Wi-Fi. Accordingly, the access point can extract the location of the data packet, designate the best communication path for the extracted location, and forward the data packet to the next device, for example, the automatic delivery distribution device 130, etc. along the designated communication path. An access point may share several lines in a general network environment, and includes, for example, a router, a repeater, and a repeater.

The automatic delivery distribution device 130 may include a platform that provides services related to delivery or delivery, such as a proxy driver, Baemin, or Coupang, that is, a server. The automatic delivery distribution device 130 is basically based on autonomous distribution, but prevents a specific (delivery) article from being distributed first only under favorable conditions such as good (or easy) goods, good distance, and light goods, and all courier drivers are equally It operates so that parcel delivery goods can be delivered. To this end, the automatic delivery distribution device 130 divides and manages the membership system (professional courier driver) and non-member system (part-time courier driver), and the delivery cost of courier items for each member and non-member (eg, profit of the courier driver or part-time worker), After setting each standard unit based on the number of courier items, the weight of courier items, the volume of courier items (e.g. package size), and the courier delivery distance, if the minimum standard is not met or the maximum standard is exceeded, the courier item to avoid distribution.

In this way, the automatic delivery distribution device 130 manages the delivery cost, number of items, weight, volume, and delivery distance, which are the standards of delivery goods, and also, in order to prevent the information of the delivery sender and the recipient from being exposed to the outside, the existing waybill Instead of outputting (e.g., shipping invoices for products received from customers at the shipping point and attaching them to delivery items), RFID tags are attached to each delivery item, and the delivery driver uses an RFID reader with a camera module and communication module attached. When the product is shipped, it is checked whether the product requested on the Web is correct. Automated delivery distribution device 130 may be involved in this operation.

In other words, the tag is attached to the delivery item when it is received into the warehouse or when it is received at the delivery location. Of course, the tag can be attached by the sender as mentioned above, but the tag information of the attached tag is scanned. It is transmitted to the automatic delivery distribution device 130 via the communication network 120 of FIG. 1 and stored in the DB 130a. Accordingly, the automatic delivery distribution device 130 identifies the delivery information of the delivery goods stored in the DB 130a on a map, more precisely, the collection point, and provides a service screen for confirmation at the delivery driver terminal device 100 will be. These operations represent steps from S200 to S220 in FIG. 2 .

In addition, the automatic delivery distribution device 130 is selected by a courier driver such as a non-member Alba courier driver through the information of the delivery item displayed on the map provided by the delivery driver terminal device 100, more precisely, pre-stored Item information of items determined to be in conformance with the reference value is classified by courier driver and stored again in the DB 130a. Accordingly, the delivery drivers select a certain item online and when they arrive at the warehouse, they collect and deliver the item based on the stored item information. S230 to S260 in FIG. 2 indicate this.

For example, the automatic delivery distribution device 130 may set the criteria for determining the product as follows. In the case of limiting the number of deliveries per day, members can set a maximum of 100 to a minimum of 50, and non-members can set a maximum of 10 to a minimum of 1. In addition, in the case of shipping costs, it can be set so as not to exceed a maximum of 300,000 won for members and a maximum of 50,000 won for non-members. In the case of volume, the maximum width 1.6m × length 2.8m × height 2m based on 1 ton of loaded vehicle is set for members, and for non-members, maximum 0.8m × length 1.4m × height 1m and minimum 0.4m × length 0.7m × Height can be set to 0.5m. In the case of the volume, the automatic delivery distribution device 130 may calculate the numerical value using simulation through a program, so it will not be particularly limited to any one form. In the case of non-members, the reason for limiting the maximum and minimum volume can be seen as a rule to prevent shipping of items that are too bulky and risky when shipping, and shipping only easy items if they are too small. In case of weight, a maximum of 1 ton for members, a maximum of 100 kg for non-members, and a minimum of 20 kg for non-members. is a rule for Even in the case of the distance, the maximum is 100km and the minimum is 50km for members, and this is to prevent members from moving only the minimum distance, and non-members can set a minimum of 10km. For non-members, there is no maximum distance limit. Because you can only ship one. Of course, the above criteria are just examples, and can be changed at any time according to the intention of the system designer.

In particular, in the case of measuring the weight, the summation can be performed using the weight data for each item previously stored based on the information of the delivered item, and in the case of the distance, after specifying the location on the map data, Although the actual distance can be calculated by reflecting the accumulation ratio after measurement through , if distance data for each location is pre-stored, it may be possible to use it as much as possible.

Furthermore, the automatic delivery distribution device 130 takes a picture and transmits the corresponding GPS information to the delivery recipient when the delivery driver collects the goods designated by him from the warehouse and checks the RFID tag of the product through the reader 110 after delivery is completed. Minimize unnecessary follow-up work by notifying delivery completion and notifying the product collection point to delete the delivery list. Step S270 in FIG. 2 shows this. Based on this, a separate computer may be provided at each collection point, and the corresponding computer may delete the delivery list according to the list deletion request of the automatic delivery distribution device 130.

The recipient's terminal device 140 is a user terminal device of a recipient who receives parcel delivery goods. It includes a terminal device such as a smart phone or a wearable device. If you have installed an app to use the service, you can receive notifications related to the receipt of goods through the app, but you can also receive notifications through SMS text messages.

As a result of the above configuration, the embodiment of the present invention can deliver to anyone, reducing problems that occur between a professional driver who is currently working as a courier and a part-time courier who can work as a part-time job, and also selects a delivery destination and You will be able to eliminate various problems such as choosing only light items.

Figure 3 is a block diagram illustrating the detailed structure of the automatic delivery distribution device of Figure 1.

As shown in FIG. 3, the automatic delivery distribution device 130 of FIG. 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a communication interface unit 300, a control unit 310, an autonomous delivery distribution unit 320, and a storage unit 330. ) includes some or all of

Here, "including some or all" means that some components such as the storage unit 330 are omitted to configure the automatic delivery distribution device 130, or some components such as the autonomous delivery distribution unit 320 are a control unit. It means that it can be integrated and configured with other components such as 310, and will be described as including all in order to help a sufficient understanding of the invention.

The communication interface unit 300 communicates with the delivery driver terminal device 100, the tag reader 110, and the recipient terminal device 140 via the communication network 120 of FIG. 1, respectively. During communication, the communication interface unit 300 performs operations such as modulation/demodulation, muxing/demuxing, encoding/decoding, and resolution conversion scaling. Here, resolution conversion means rearrangement of pixel data in order to implement an optimal image according to the screen size.

The communication interface unit 300 provides a service screen under the control of the control unit 310 when there is a service request from the delivery driver terminal device 100 of a member-based professional courier driver or a non-member part-time courier driver. In addition, the communication interface unit 300 processes related operations when selecting an item to be delivered from the delivery driver terminal device 100 of the part-time delivery driver through the provided service screen. For example, in the case of a part-time courier driver, it is determined whether a courier item is selected to meet a predetermined condition, and when it is satisfied, it is notified to the delivery driver terminal device 100 so that a selection that meets the condition is made.

In addition, when a tag attached to an article is scanned by the tag reader 110, the communication interface unit 300 receives tag information and provides it to the control unit 310. In addition, the delivery drivers receive tag information, captured images, and location information provided after delivery of the package to the recipient, and provide the information to the control unit 310, and upon request of the control unit 310 when the package is received Accordingly, the fact is notified to the recipient terminal device 140 of FIG. 1 .

The control unit 310 is in charge of overall control operations of the communication interface unit 300 of FIG. 3 , the autonomous delivery distribution unit 320 and the storage unit 330 . The control unit 310 may be considered to perform the same operation as in FIG. 2 in association with the autonomous delivery distribution unit 320 . Representatively, the control unit 310 receives tag information from the tag reader 110 or the like when a tagged delivery item is received in the warehouse and stores it in the DB 130a of FIG. 1 . Thereafter, when a service request is received from the delivery driver terminal device 100, delivery goods to be delivered for each designated area are displayed on the map. Since the user interface (UI) screen may be provided in various forms, it will not be particularly limited to any one form in the embodiment of the present invention.

Above all, the control unit 310 performs autonomous distribution in principle while performing an operation in connection with the autonomous delivery distribution unit 320 to prevent a specific delivery driver from first receiving only favorable conditions such as good or convenient items and convenient distance. In other words, all courier drivers deliver courier items equally. However, the delivery conditions of the professional courier driver of the membership system and the part-time courier driver of the non-member system are different. The control unit 310 performs these operations in conjunction with the autonomous delivery distribution unit 320 .

The self-delivery distribution unit 320 sets different standards for professional courier drivers for membership systems and part-time courier drivers for non-membership systems so that all courier drivers can equally deliver parcels based on autonomous distribution in principle. Therefore, the autonomous delivery distribution unit 320 classifies and manages professional courier drivers and part-time courier drivers, and checks whether they meet the delivery criteria based on the delivery cost of the parcel, the number of parcels, weight, volume, and delivery distance according to the preset criteria. Determines, and stores the delivery information of the related delivery item in the storage unit 330 when the delivery criteria are met.

For example, the autonomous delivery distribution unit 320 may adjust the criteria based on the quantity of delivery items. In other words, since professional courier drivers are operated on a monthly salary basis, the quantity of professional courier drivers is preferentially allocated, and then the non-member courier quantity can be provided to part-time courier drivers. Therefore, when the total delivery quantity is reduced, it is assigned preferentially to the professional delivery driver, so it can be seen that such a setting criterion is made flexibly according to the number of deliveries. For example, it can be proportional.

In addition, the autonomous delivery distribution unit 320 visits the logistics warehouse based on the delivery information selected by the delivery driver terminal device 100 online and scans, for example, the part-time delivery driver using the tag reader 110, and By comparing, you can judge whether the goods you wish to ship have been properly collected. To this end, the autonomous delivery distribution unit 320 may check delivery address information and destination information, or may compare the names of the deliverer and the recipient. For example, if delivery of a total of 5 items online is selected to meet criteria and the items selected in the warehouse are properly acquired, delivery is performed. The autonomous delivery distribution unit 320 is involved in all of these processes.

Furthermore, even after the goods are delivered to the destination, the autonomous delivery distribution unit 320 receives location information such as tag information, a photographed image, and GPS information of the goods provided by the destination to confirm whether the delivery has been properly performed. To this end, the autonomous delivery distribution unit 320 may store GPS information about the location of the destination in advance. For example, when the GPS information is received through the delivery driver terminal device 100 or the tag reader 110 at the destination, the GPS information is compared and matched. When doing so, related information is notified to the recipient terminal device 140 .

Above all, the autonomous delivery distribution unit 320 according to an embodiment of the present invention attaches a tag to a product and utilizes the tag reader 110 to read tag information stored inside the attached tag so that personal information is not stored outside. prevent exposure to The autonomous delivery distribution unit 320 sets different delivery criteria for the member-based delivery specialist and the non-member part-time delivery driver, and allows delivery to be made accordingly. Since the standards have been fully explained above, we will replace them with the contents.

The storage unit 330 temporarily stores various data processed under the control of the control unit 310 . For example, if tag information of products is provided in a warehouse, the tag information may be classified and stored based on identification information of the warehouse. of course. In this process, it is also possible to read and store data previously stored in the DB 130a. In addition, the storage unit 330 may temporarily store the data analyzed and processed by the autonomous delivery distribution unit 320 under the control of the control unit 310 and then systematically classify and store the data in the DB 130a of FIG. 1 .

In addition to the above, the communication interface unit 300, the control unit 310, the autonomous delivery distribution unit 320, and the storage unit 330 of FIG. 3 can perform various operations, and other details have been sufficiently described above. I want to replace it with content.

The communication interface unit 300, the control unit 310, the autonomous delivery distribution unit 320, and the storage unit 330 of FIG. 3 according to an embodiment of the present invention are composed of hardware modules physically separated from each other, but each module Software for performing the above operations may be stored therein and executed. However, since the corresponding software is a set of software modules, and each module can be formed of hardware, it will not be particularly limited to the configuration of software and hardware. For example, the storage unit 330 may be hardware storage or memory. However, since it is possible to store information in a software manner (repository), the above content will not be particularly limited.

Meanwhile, as another embodiment of the present invention, the control unit 310 may include a CPU and a memory, and may be formed as a single chip. The CPU includes a control circuit, an arithmetic unit (ALU), a command interpreter, and a registry, and the memory may include RAM. The control circuit performs control operations, the operation unit performs operation of binary bit information, and the instruction interpretation unit performs an operation of converting high-level language into machine language and machine language into high-level language, including an interpreter or compiler. , the registry may be involved in software data storage. According to the above configuration, for example, by copying the program stored in the automatic delivery distribution unit 320 at the beginning of the operation of the automatic delivery distribution device 130, loading it into memory, that is, RAM, and then executing it, data operation processing speed can be rapidly increased.

4 is a flowchart illustrating a driving process of an autonomous delivery distribution device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 4 together with FIG. 1 for convenience of explanation, the autonomous delivery distribution device 130 of FIG. 1 is a delivery service that can be delivered according to the tag information of the tag attached to the delivery item at the pickup location and whether the delivery driver who delivers the item is a member. The quantity reference value is stored (S400). Here, the reference value may be condition data. For example, it can be seen that the number of items to be selected must not exceed the maximum value, and the weight or distance must be within the range of the minimum and maximum values. Accordingly, the autonomous delivery distribution device 130 may pre-store a program for such an operation.

In addition, the autonomous delivery distribution device 130 determines whether the delivery product requested online in the terminal device of the part-time courier driver, that is, the delivery driver terminal device 100 of FIG. According to this, delivery of the delivery item selected online is terminated based on the captured image and location information obtained when the delivery driver scans the tag of the delivery item collected from the warehouse and delivered to the recipient (S410).

In this process, the autonomous delivery distribution device 130 checks the courier goods and stores the courier quantity data when the conditions are met in the storage unit, and based on the stored courier quantity data, When the delivery of the goods is completed, the captured image and location information of the delivery goods obtained by scanning the tag are notified to the user terminal device of the recipient who received the delivery goods. Of course, since the recipient may include an agent such as a spouse, notification of information may refer to a user terminal device having a phone number recorded thereon.

In addition to the above, the automatic delivery distribution device 130 of FIG. 1 can perform various operations, and since other details have been sufficiently described above, they will be replaced with those contents.

On the other hand, even if all the components constituting the embodiment of the present invention are described as being combined or operated as one, the present invention is not necessarily limited to these embodiments. That is, within the scope of the object of the present invention, all of the components may be selectively combined with one or more to operate. In addition, although all of the components may be implemented as a single independent piece of hardware, some or all of the components are selectively combined to perform some or all of the combined functions in one or a plurality of pieces of hardware.
