FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a delivery system using an unmanned storage box mounted on an unmanned shuttle according to an embodiment, and FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating communication between an unmanned storage box mounted on an unmanned shuttle and a server according to an embodiment.

First, referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, the method of providing delivery using an unmanned storage box mounted on an unmanned shuttle according to an embodiment of the present invention is a product transaction brokerage method that mediates product transactions between buyers, and is provided to the server 100. Each step can be processed by:

That is, in the method of providing delivery using an unmanned storage box mounted on an unmanned shuttle according to an embodiment of the present invention, the server 100 mediates the product transaction between the seller and the buyer, but While operating the storage box 10 for non-face-to-face transactions, the seller can allow the buyer to retrieve the goods stored in the storage box 10 from the storage box 10 through authentication. Therefore, since sellers and buyers can exchange goods through the storage box 10 without having to face each other directly, goods can be safely traded in a non-face-to-face manner without a delivery service.

Furthermore, the storage box 10 can be mounted on an unmanned shuttle (US). Additionally, the unmanned shuttle (US) can move along a predetermined route in preset time units. With this configuration, sellers and buyers can transact goods non-face-to-face by moving an unmanned shuttle (US) even if they are spatially separated from each other. Furthermore, by using the storage box 10 that moves via an unmanned shuttle (US) rather than a fixed specific location, sellers and buyers can move to the minimum or optimal movement path for selling or purchasing goods. Accordingly, time or space savings can be maximized for both sellers and buyers.

Specifically, the server 100 may operate a product trading platform unit 110 that connects sellers and buyers. Additionally, the server 100 may be configured to include a storage box management unit 120 that manages a storage box 10 for non-face-to-face trading of goods traded in the product trading platform unit.

The product trading platform unit 110 may be a platform where sellers and buyers can trade products. For example, the product trading platform unit 110 may include all transaction management offices through the network. That is, the product trading platform unit 110 can operate product transactions between sellers and buyers through applications, web apps, SaaS (Software as a Service), Internet browsers, etc. installed on the seller's terminal or the buyer's terminal.

Accordingly, the seller's terminal 200 and the buyer's terminal 300 access the product trading platform through the network, upload the product they want to sell or purchase, and trade the product through search, confirmation of product information, etc. You can let it go. Furthermore, the product trading platform unit 110 may provide an encrypted and anonymized chat service to enable safe and smooth communication.

In this specification, the network refers to a wired network such as a Local Area Network (LAN), Wide Area Network (WAN), or Value Added Network (VAN), a mobile radio communication network, or a satellite communication network. , can be implemented with all types of wireless networks such as Bluetooth, Wibro (Wireless Broadband Internet), HSDPA (High Speed Downlink Packet Access), LTE (Long Term Evolution), and 5G (5th Generation Mobile Telecommunication).

The storage box operating unit 120 may operate the storage box 10 so that sellers and buyers who trade goods through a product trading platform can exchange goods in a non-face-to-face manner. In other words, the storage box management unit 120 remotely manages and operates the location, size, and status (in use, available, broken, etc.) of the multiple storage boxes 10, and links with the product trading platform unit 110 to enable the seller. The storage box 10 used can authenticate the buyer so that only the buyer can open it. Alternatively, the storage box management unit 120 may authenticate the seller so that only a specific seller can open the storage box 10 when refunding an item.

Additionally, the storage box management unit 120 may manage at least one storage box 10 installed at a specific location. The storage box operating unit 120 may control the locking device of the storage box 10 in conjunction with the storage box control device 20 that controls the storage box 10 at a specific location.

The storage box control device 20 can control the opening or closing of the storage box through communication with the storage box operating unit 120 of the server 100.

In addition, the storage box control device 20 is a device that supports the use of the storage box 10 by users such as sellers or buyers through management of the usage status of the storage box 10, lock control, etc., and may be in the form of a kiosk, but may be in the form of a tablet PC or computer. , can be implemented as a mechanical device, etc., and can provide an interface for use such as selection of the storage box 10, usage time and usage fee payment, and password setting. Additionally, the location where the storage box 10 is installed may be various convenient places to visit for product transactions, such as a subway station, an apartment complex, a park, a convenience store, or a shopping mall.

The terminals 200 and 300 of the seller and the buyer may be electronic devices used by the seller and the buyer to access the product trading platform. Here, the electronic devices include smartphones, tablet personal computers, mobile phones, video phones, e-book readers, desktop PCs, laptop PCs, netbook computers, and workstations. ), a server, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a media box, a game console, an electronic dictionary, or a wearable device. The wearable device may be an accessory type (e.g., a watch, a ring, Bracelet, anklet, necklace, glasses, contact lenses, or head-mounted-device (HMD), fabric or clothing-integrated (e.g. electronic garment), body-worn (e.g. skin pad or tattoo), or an implantable circuit. In various embodiments, the electronic device is not limited to the above-described devices and may be a combination of two or more of the various devices described above. there is.

Furthermore, the storage box 10 may include a camera (CM), a weight sensor (WS), and a flash (F). The camera (CM) may generate an image of the article (PR) in the storage box (10) in conjunction with the flash (F) in a specific situation. There may be multiple generated images. For example, the plurality of images may include both images with flash or without flash.

Furthermore, the weight sensor (WS) can also measure the weight of the article (PR) in certain situations.

The above-mentioned generated image and measured weight may be transmitted to the storage box management unit (or server 100). Accordingly, the server 100, etc. can determine whether the product is the same or the non-existence of the product through the generated image and the measured weight. A detailed explanation of this will be provided later.

Figure 3 is a flowchart of a method of providing delivery using an unmanned storage box mounted on an unmanned shuttle according to an embodiment, and Figure 4 is a flowchart of a method of providing delivery using an unmanned storage box mounted on an unmanned shuttle according to an embodiment of receiving purchase decision information. It is a flowchart for determining whether to provide or refund the corresponding purchase amount, and Figure 5 is a flowchart for receiving information about the unmanned shuttle in a method of providing delivery using an unmanned storage box mounted on an unmanned shuttle according to an embodiment. .

First, as described above, the present invention relates to a method of providing delivery using an unmanned storage box mounted on an unmanned shuttle, and each step is processed by the server 100, and is composed of software recorded in hardware including memory and processor. You can. For example, the method of providing delivery using an unmanned storage box mounted on an unmanned shuttle of the present invention can be stored and implemented in a personal computer, laptop computer, server computer, PDA, smartphone, tablet PC, etc. Below, for convenience of explanation, the subject performing each step may be omitted.

Referring to FIG. 3, a method of providing delivery using an unmanned storage box mounted on an unmanned shuttle according to an embodiment includes receiving information on items for sale (S1100), providing information on the items for sale (S1200), and providing information on the items for sale (S1200). A step of receiving a purchase signal for a product (S1300), a step of receiving a purchase price for the sold product (used interchangeably with a sold product) from a buyer (or 'buyer terminal', hereinafter referred to as a buyer) (S1400), Providing notification of the purchase signal to the seller (S1500), receiving information about an unmanned shuttle for transaction (S1600), receiving authentication information about the goods in the storage box from a storage box placed in the unmanned shuttle A step (S1700), a step of transmitting the received authentication information to the buyer (S1800), and a step of determining whether to provide or refund the purchase amount in response to receiving purchase decision information from the buyer (S1900). can do.

First, in step S1100, information on the product (hereinafter referred to as sale product) that the seller wants to sell can be received from the seller (or 'seller terminal', hereinafter described as seller). For example, information on items for sale may include the type, color, size, price, etc. of the item for sale.

And in step S1200, the server receives information on items for sale from the seller, and the received information on items for sale may be provided to an unspecified number of people through the network. Through this, an unspecified number of people can decide their purchase intention based on the information about the product for sale provided by the server.

In step S1300, a purchase signal for a sale item may be received from an unspecified number of buyers. There may be multiple purchase signals received from multiple buyers. For example, when there are multiple purchase signals, priority for a specific buyer may be set by the seller's selection. Alternatively, priority may be set for specific buyers depending on how they are processed on the server. For example, the above-described priority may be determined in response to the reception or generation time of the purchase signal.

Additionally, a purchase signal may not be received for a certain period of time. At this time, the server may provide information on the above-described items for sale to an unspecified number of people for a predetermined period of time, but may not provide information on the items for sale after the predetermined period.

In step S1400, the purchase price for the product for sale may be received from the buyer. A buyer may be a person who deals with goods for sale. First, the server can provide notifications to high-priority buyers to deposit the purchase amount. In response, the buyer can transmit the purchase price for the product for sale to the server.

In step S1500, when the above-described purchase amount is received from the buyer, the server may notify the seller of the receipt of a purchase signal or receipt (or deposit) of the purchase amount. In addition, when a purchase signal is received in step S1300, it is preferentially provided to the seller for buyer decision, and then information on receipt (or deposit) of the purchase amount can be provided to the seller in S1500.

In step S1600, the server may receive information about the unmanned shuttle for the transaction. More specifically, with additional reference to FIG. 5, the step of receiving information about an unmanned shuttle for a transaction (S1600) includes the step of receiving location information or predetermined first unmanned shuttle information from the seller (S1610), the buyer It may include receiving location information or predetermined second unmanned shuttle information from (S1620), and determining an unmanned shuttle for transaction (S1630).

The server can receive the location of the storage box to be used and the transaction date and time from the seller or buyer trading the product. Here, the location of the storage box may be the location of a plurality of storage boxes managed by the storage box management department. In other words, when a user, such as a seller or buyer, selects the location of a storage box, it may mean that he or she will use one of several storage boxes in the unmanned shuttle. Or, it may mean that you want to use a specific storage box on the unmanned shuttle.

At this time, a decision may be made to use an unmanned shuttle to trade goods between sellers or buyers. To this end, as in steps S1610 and S1620, location information or information of an unmanned shuttle (first unmanned shuttle) with which the seller wants to trade goods is received from the seller, or location information from the buyer or a second unmanned shuttle with which the buyer wants to trade goods is received. Shuttle information can be received.

That is, in order to determine a location for goods transaction between a seller and a buyer, the server can use the location information of the seller or the buyer. Additionally, the server can receive information about the unmanned shuttle (first unmanned shuttle, second unmanned shuttle) desired by the seller or buyer.

And, as in step S1630, the server uses the location information or the first unmanned shuttle information or the second unmanned shuttle information to determine an unmanned shuttle that circulates around the location where the seller and buyer who want to trade in used goods are without moving far. You can.

For example, the unmanned shuttle may be determined by at least one of the seller and the buyer. That is, the seller and buyer can provide the server with the desired unmanned shuttle or the location of the unmanned shuttle among the plurality of unmanned shuttles.

In addition, information about the determined unmanned shuttle may be provided to the seller and buyer so that goods can be sent and received in the determined unmanned shuttle. At this time, since the unmanned shuttle moves repeatedly along a predetermined path, the location of the unmanned shuttle (warehousing location) when the actual seller stocks the goods and the location of the unmanned shuttle (shipping location) when the actual buyer ships the goods are different from each other. It may be the same or different. And even if the warehousing location and the shipping location are the same, the warehousing and shipping times may be different. Furthermore, since the warehousing and shipping locations are different, there may be space or time savings for product transactions.

In step S1700, authentication information about the items in the storage box may be received from the storage box placed in the unmanned shuttle. After the seller boards the determined unmanned shuttle and places the goods for sale in a predetermined storage box, the server can receive authentication information about the goods from the storage box or the storage box control device.

Authentication information about the article may include at least one of the weight of the article in the storage box, location information of the storage box, and an image of the article in the storage box.

And the authentication information sent to the buyer may be information excluding the weight of the product.

In step S1800, the server may transmit the received authentication information to the purchaser. Through this, the buyer can easily determine the location of the storage box by receiving the image of the product and the location information of the storage box. Furthermore, buyers can easily determine whether the product is what they want before shipping.

In step S1900, the server may determine whether to provide or refund the purchase amount in response to receiving purchase decision information from the purchaser.

More specifically, referring further to FIG. 4, after the received authentication information is transmitted to the buyer (S1800), it can be confirmed whether the purchase decision information is a purchase confirmation (S1910). In other words, the server can confirm whether the purchase decision information is the final purchase confirmation from the buyer. Here, the purchase decision information may include final purchase confirmation or purchase cancellation.

And if the purchase decision information in step S1910 is a confirmed purchase, the purchase amount can be provided to the seller (S1920). At this time, purchase confirmation can be made after confirming with the server in the storage box of the determined unmanned shuttle that the purchaser is the actual purchaser and shipping the product.

And if the purchase decision information is not a purchase confirmation, the server may determine whether the purchase has been canceled (S1930). At this time, if the purchase is not canceled, the purchase amount can be provided to the seller after a predetermined time (S1940). In other words, if the seller does not intentionally provide purchase confirmation or unintentionally does not provide purchase confirmation even after the product has been shipped, the server may regard the purchase as confirmed and ultimately provide the purchase amount to the seller.

Furthermore, if the purchase decision information is a purchase cancellation in the decision step (S1900), re-authentication information for the item in the storage box can be received (S1950).

The re-authentication information may include at least one of the weight of the item in the storage box, location information of the storage box, and an image of the item in the storage box. At this time, the location information of the storage box in the re-authentication information may be the location information of the storage box that the buyer restocked after shipping the product. Additionally, the image of the goods in the storage box may also be an image of the goods in the storage box that the buyer has returned to the store after shipping the goods. That is, in step S1950, if the buyer cancels the purchase after confirming the product, re-authentication information can be received to confirm whether the product is the same as the product sold by the seller.

Then, it is possible to compare whether the previously transmitted authentication information (see step S1800) and the re-authentication information are the same (S1960, S1970).

That is, the server can use the received authentication information and re-authentication information to compare part of the authentication information and part of the re-authentication information to check whether the seller's sold item has been restocked.

For example, if the location information of the storage box of authentication information and the location information of the storage box of re-authentication information are different, the server may determine that the authentication information and re-authentication information are different. Additionally, if the image of the item in the storage box in the authentication information is different from the image of the item in the storage box in the re-authentication information, the server may determine that the authentication information and the re-authentication information are different. Additionally, if the weight of the item in the storage box in the authentication information is different from the weight of the item in the storage box in the re-authentication information, the server may determine that the authentication information and the re-authentication information are different.

In particular, in the method according to this embodiment, the identity of the authentication information and the re-authentication information can be determined by comparing the weight of the authentication information and the weight of the re-authentication information. With this configuration, the server can easily determine whether the item put in by the seller and the item returned by the buyer are the same through the weight sensor in the storage box. This has the effect of resolving the uncertainty of non-face-to-face transactions.

Accordingly, if the authentication information and re-authentication information are the same, the server can refund the purchase amount to the buyer and inform the seller that the product was not purchased (or returned) (S1980).

In contrast, if the authentication information and the re-authentication information are not the same (different), the server may determine that an item that is not a sale item has been entered into the storage box. Accordingly, the server can provide the purchase amount to the seller (S1990).

In this way, through the method of providing delivery using an unmanned storage box mounted on an unmanned shuttle according to the present invention, if the buyer who checks the product in the unmanned storage box in the shuttle completes the purchase and sends money if he or she likes the product, and if he or she does not like the product, the buyer can send money. You can put it back in the storage box and return it to the seller, which has the effect of greatly improving safe transactions and user convenience.

Figure 6 is a flowchart of the seller's operation in a delivery provision system using an unmanned storage box mounted on an unmanned shuttle according to an embodiment, and Figure 7 is a flowchart of the purchaser's operation in a delivery provision method using an unmanned storage box mounted on an unmanned shuttle according to an embodiment. It is a flowchart of the operation, and FIG. 8 is a diagram for explaining the entry/delivery of goods by the seller/buyer in the method of providing delivery using an unmanned storage box mounted on an unmanned shuttle according to an embodiment.

Referring to Figures 6 to 8, the seller (or seller terminal) may provide information about products for sale to the server. Accordingly, the seller can register the product for sale online (S2100). Furthermore, the seller can board the unmanned shuttle (S2200). This can be achieved through passenger recognition in unmanned shuttles. Sellers can transmit the unmanned shuttle, desired time and location to the server, etc. And the seller's request may be provided as a reservation for the operation of the unmanned shuttle.

Afterwards, when the seller boards the unmanned shuttle, authentication can be performed between the seller's terminal and the storage box control device through the server. For example, the server provides the seller with a code for authentication processing, and the seller can be confirmed through code recognition. Once the seller is confirmed, the storage box can be opened (S2300). And the seller can store the products for sale in the storage box. After stocking, the server may provide authentication information to the buyer as described above.

Likewise, the buyer can receive authentication information from the server (S3100). And buyers can board the unmanned shuttle at the desired time and location (S3200). This can be achieved through passenger recognition in unmanned shuttles.

And the buyer can open or open the stored items for sale based on the authentication process (S3300). At this time, when the buyer boards the unmanned shuttle, authentication can be performed between the buyer terminal and the storage box control device through the server. For example, the server provides the buyer with a code for authentication processing, and the buyer can be confirmed through code recognition. Once the authentication process is completed, the corresponding archive will be opened.

Afterwards, the buyer can check the product for sale (S3400). And, if the buyer actually wants to purchase, he or she can confirm the purchase or cancel the purchase, i.e., send purchase decision information to the server (S3500).

In an embodiment, when canceling a purchase, the buyer can place the sold product in the storage box and close the storage box (S3700). And when the buyer finally confirms the number, he or she can remove the sold product and close the storage box (S3600). Each step may be performed as in the server described above for subsequent transmission of the purchase amount.

The method of providing delivery using an unmanned storage box mounted on an unmanned shuttle according to the disclosed embodiment may be implemented in the form of program instructions that can be executed through various computer means and recorded on a computer-readable medium. Additionally, an embodiment of the present disclosure may be a computer-readable recording medium on which one or more programs including instructions for executing a method of providing delivery using an unmanned storage box mounted on an unmanned shuttle are recorded.
