Description

Electronic device and its information providing method {ELECTRONIC APPARATUS AND PROVIDING INFORMATION METHOD THEREOF}

The present disclosure relates to an electronic device that balances the work among delivery personnel by allocating the amount of delivery to be processed per hour in consideration of various information for a plurality of delivery personnel performing delivery work in a camp, and to a method of providing information thereof. .

The trend of consumers purchasing items using online ordering rather than offline ordering is increasing, and each camp can deliver items ordered by consumers in the region they are responsible for.

Previously, when an item arrived at the camp, the delivery volume assigned to the delivery person was determined by the manager managing the camp. In this process, the delivery volume was allocated based on the subjective judgment of the manager rather than a certain standard, so that delivery between delivery people was possible. There was a problem with the quantity not being allocated in a balanced manner. For example, delivery person A may be in charge of an area where multiple items are scheduled to be delivered, such as an apartment, and delivery person B may be in charge of an area such as a country house, so the delivery volume per unit area is different, resulting in differences in workload between delivery people. could happen. In addition, if delivery person A has high geographical familiarity because he has multiple delivery experiences to a specific area, and delivery person B has relatively low geographical familiarity because he has no delivery experience, this difference is not reflected and the workload between delivery people is not reflected. Differences could arise.

In addition, although differences in workload between delivery workers may occur depending on various conditions, in the past, delivery volume was allocated depending on the subjective judgment of the manager managing the camp, resulting in a problem in which the workload among delivery workers was not managed in a balanced manner.

1 shows a system according to one embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 1, the system includes an electronic device 100, a first user 110, a second user 120, a third user 130, a first delivery person 140, and a second delivery person 150. , may include at least one of the third delivery source 160 and the network 170. Here, the first user 110, the second user 120, and the third user 130 can access the service provided through the network 170 using their respective terminals. The system shown in FIG. 1 shows only components related to this embodiment. Accordingly, those skilled in the art can understand that other general-purpose components may be included in addition to the components shown in FIG. 1.

Terminals and electronic devices used by the first user 110, the second user 120, the third user 130, the first delivery person 140, the second delivery person 150, and the third delivery person 160, respectively. Devices 100 may communicate with each other within network 170 . The network 170 includes a local area network (LAN), a wide area network (WAN), a value added network (VAN), a mobile radio communication network, a satellite communication network, and their respective networks. It is a comprehensive data communication network that includes a combination and allows each network constituent shown in FIG. 1 to communicate smoothly with each other, and may include wired Internet, wireless Internet, and mobile wireless communication network. Wireless communications include, for example, wireless LAN (Wi-Fi), Bluetooth, Bluetooth low energy, ZigBee, WFD (Wi-Fi Direct), UWB (ultra wideband), and infrared communication (IrDA, infrared Data Association). ), NFC (Near Field Communication), etc., but are not limited thereto.

The electronic device 100 may provide a series of related information required from ordering to delivery of an item using an application, and may be included in a server. For example, the electronic device 100 runs an application for providing related information necessary from ordering to delivery of an item to the first user 110, the second user 120, the third user 130, and the first delivery person. (140), the second delivery person (150), and the third delivery person (160) can provide it to their respective terminals. The first user 110, the second user 120, the third user 130, the first delivery person 140, the second delivery person 150, and the third delivery person 160 are installed on the terminals they each use. Using the application, you can check the necessary information from ordering to delivery.

When information related to the first delivery person 140, the second delivery person 150, and the third delivery person 160 performing delivery work in a specific camp is input, the electronic device 100 is based on the input information. Thus, each delivery person can be assigned a responsibility area and delivery volume related to same-day delivery.

At this time, the first delivery person 140, the second delivery person 150, and the third delivery person 160 may have different delivery person types, which may be based on a contract between the delivery person and the business operator that operates the electronic device 100. It can be decided depending on Specifically, the amount of delivery that can be performed per hour is allocated differently depending on the contract, and accordingly, the cost settlement for delivery may also be paid differently.

The electronic device 100 may allocate a delivery area and delivery volume to the first delivery person 140, the second delivery person 150, and the third delivery person 160 in consideration of the delivery person type. In addition, the electronic device 100 further considers the delivery person's working hours, order density, delivery movement route, and familiarity with the area, and selects the first delivery person 140, the second delivery person 150, and the third delivery person. The delivery area and delivery volume can be assigned to (160).

Accordingly, the electronic device 100 can equally allocate the delivery quantity to each of the plurality of camps, and can evenly allocate the delivery quantity to the plurality of delivery workers performing delivery work in a specific camp by considering various situations. there is. Hereinafter, a specific process for an information provision method of an electronic device that allocates equal delivery volume by considering various information will be described.

Figure 2 is a diagram for explaining a process of allocating delivery volume to a delivery person according to an embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 2, information about a plurality of delivery workers performing delivery work at the camp may be entered. Information about delivery workers who can perform delivery tasks in the camp may vary from day to day, and therefore, information about delivery workers who can perform delivery tasks on the same day may be entered before delivery volume is allocated.

For example, in Camp A, 2022.05.09. 2022.05.10 with delivery workers who can perform delivery tasks. Information about delivery workers who can perform delivery tasks may vary. The manager of Camp A is 2022.05.09. You can enter information about the first delivery person, second delivery person, and third delivery person that can perform delivery work.

The electronic device can manage a preset model for each camp based on statistics for allocating delivery volume. For example, the electronic device can manage a preset model based on statistics for each different camp, such as Camp A and Camp B. The factors considered in the preset model are the same, but the importance and weight of each factor may be different, reflecting the regional characteristics of each camp.

The electronic device can allocate delivery volume by applying the input information to a preset model. For example, the electronic device was released from Camp A on 2022.05.09. The information entered about the delivery workers who can perform delivery work is applied to the preset model A corresponding to camp A on 2022.05.09. Delivery volume can be allocated to each delivery source. Specifically, the electronic device will be installed on 2022.05.09 based on Model A preset at Camp A. The first delivery volume that can be performed by the first delivery person who can perform the delivery task can be assigned, and based on Model A preset in Camp A, on 2022.05.09. A second delivery volume that can be performed by a second delivery person who can perform the delivery task can be assigned, and based on Model A preset in Camp A, on 2022.05.09. A third delivery volume that can be performed by a third delivery person capable of performing the delivery task can be assigned.

According to an embodiment, the preset model corresponding to each camp may be a model set in advance based on statistics in consideration of the delivery person's working hours, order density, delivery route, geographic familiarity, and type of delivery person.

At this time, the delivery source type may be a delivery source for which the delivery volume that can be performed per hour is applied differently depending on the contract. For example, depending on the contract, a Type A delivery person may be a delivery person contracted to deliver approximately A quantity during A time period. A type B delivery person is a delivery person who has contracted to deliver approximately quantity B during B time, which is relatively less than time A. Quantity B is less than quantity A, so type B delivery person is relatively less expensive than type A delivery person. You can receive a small salary, and the ratio between quantity B and quantity A can be adjusted by considering the salary ratio. In addition, a type C delivery person is a delivery person who has contracted to deliver approximately C quantity for C time, which is relatively more than A time, and C quantity is a larger quantity than B quantity, so type C delivery person is more expensive than type B delivery person. You can receive a relatively large salary, and the ratio between quantity C and quantity B can be adjusted by considering the salary ratio.

Here, the working hours of the delivery person may be actual working hours set differently in consideration of the type of delivery person. At this time, the delivery person's actual working hours may be the time excluding the time during which delivery cannot be made from the delivery person's total working hours. Specifically, the time that cannot be delivered may include the time Accordingly, the actual working hours, excluding the time during which delivery cannot be delivered (Time At this time, time Y can be adjusted depending on what area the first delivery destination is.

The amount of delivery that can be delivered per hour may be determined based on the delivery volume and actual working hours. For example, the delivery volume that the first delivery person can deliver per hour may be determined based on the actual working hours of the first delivery person and the first delivery volume, and the actual working hours of the second delivery person and the second delivery volume may be determined. Based on the volume, the delivery volume that the second delivery person can deliver per hour may be determined, and the delivery volume that the third delivery person can deliver per hour may be determined based on the actual working hours of the third delivery person and the third delivery volume. Quantity can be determined.

Details regarding the order density, delivery route, and familiarity with the region for each delivery source considered in the preset model are explained in other drawings.

The electronic device can apply information input from a specific camp to a preset model to allocate the amount of delivery that can be performed by each delivery person, and provide information about the amount of delivery allocated to each delivery person to the manager of the specific camp.

Accordingly, the delivery volume is equally allocated to a plurality of delivery workers capable of delivering at a specific camp, taking into account various circumstances, so that the workload of the delivery workers at the camp can be managed fairly and the satisfaction of the delivery workers can be improved.

FIG. 3 is a diagram for explaining an area covered by a specific camp according to an embodiment, and FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining a process of subdividing a specific area into a plurality of areas according to an embodiment.

Referring to Figure 3, for example, area A is a fixed area responsible for deliveries from camp A, area B is a fixed area responsible for deliveries from camp B, and area C is a fixed area responsible for deliveries from camp C. It can be. In other words, different camps have different preset areas in charge and can be responsible for delivery to those areas.

Each region can be subdivided into a plurality of areas as shown in Figure 4, and a delivery person can be responsible for delivery for each subdivided area.

Referring to FIG. 4, region A in charge of delivery in camp A may be subdivided into, for example, a first area 410, a first area 420, and a first area 430 in consideration of delivery volume. Additionally, the first area 410 may be subdivided into a second area 411, a second area 413, and a second area 415. Additionally, the second area 411 may be divided into a third area 411-a, a third area 411-b, and a third area 411-c. Figure 4 is only an example, and the scope of rights of this specification is not limited thereto.

Delivery volume in each area is not fixed and may vary from day to day. Therefore, if the delivery person in charge of each area is fixed, there is a high possibility that the workload of the delivery people will not be distributed balancedly because the variable delivery volume is not taken into consideration. For example, when the delivery person in charge of the second area 411, the second area 413, and the second area 415 is fixed, the delivery volume is large in the second area 411 and the delivery volume is large in the second area 415. On days when delivery volumes are low, the workload among delivery workers cannot be distributed balancedly.

Accordingly, the subdivision unit of each area may be determined variably from day to day in consideration of the delivery volume of the corresponding area. At this time, the first area 410, the first area 420, and the first area 430 are not variable and are fixed areas, and the second areas 411, 413, 415, and the third areas 411-a, 411-b, 411-c) can be variably determined considering the delivery volume each day. Therefore, in the camp, the second areas (411, 413, 415) and the third areas (411-a, 411-b, 411-c) are variably determined and delivered based on the first areas (410, 420, 430). The convenience of work management can be improved.

The minimum delivery quantity in each area can be preset, and the segmentation unit can be determined by comparing the same-day delivery quantity and the minimum delivery quantity in each area.

Specifically, the first areas 410, 420, and 430 may be preset, and the second areas 411, 413, and 415 into which the first area 410 is divided are the minimum delivery quantity of the first area 410. It can be subdivided by considering 1. For example, when the delivery quantity of the first area 410 is more than the minimum delivery quantity 1, the first area 410 may be subdivided into preset second areas 411, 413, and 415. At this time, considering the ratio in which the delivery quantity of the first area 410 is greater than the minimum delivery quantity 1, the first area 410, unlike FIG. 4, has more second areas than the preset second areas 411, 413, and 415. It may be subdivided into regions (eg 4 or 5 second regions). Alternatively, if the delivery quantity of the first area 410 is less than the minimum delivery quantity 1, the first area 410 may be subdivided considering the delivery quantity regardless of the preset second areas 411, 413, and 415. there is. At this time, if the delivery quantity of the first area 410 is less than the standard ratio (e.g., 50%) of the minimum delivery quantity 1, the first area 410 is not subdivided into the second areas 411, 413, and 415. Without this, one delivery person can be in charge of the first area. Alternatively, if the delivery quantity in the first area 410 is less than the minimum delivery quantity 1 but is greater than the standard ratio (e.g., 50%) of the minimum delivery quantity, the first area 410, unlike FIG. 4, is divided into two different It may be subdivided into second areas, and each second area may have a different delivery person in charge of delivery work.

At this time, the standard ratio of the minimum delivery quantity 1 may be a ratio set in the first area 410 by considering the delivery quantity that can be performed per delivery person based on past delivery statistics.

More specifically, the third areas 411-a, 411-b, and 411-c into which the second area 411 is subdivided may be subdivided in consideration of the minimum delivery quantity 2 of the second area 411. For example, when the delivery quantity of the second area 411 is more than the minimum delivery quantity 2, the second area 411 may be subdivided into preset third areas 411-a, 411-b, and 411-c. At this time, considering the ratio in which the delivery quantity of the second area 411 is greater than the minimum delivery quantity 2, the second area 411, unlike FIG. 4, is a preset third area 411-a, 411-b, 411- c) Can be subdivided into more third areas (eg 4 or 5 third areas). Alternatively, if the delivery quantity of the second area 411 is less than the minimum delivery quantity 2, the second area 411 may be subdivided considering the delivery quantity regardless of the preset third area. At this time, if the delivery quantity of the second area 411 is smaller than the standard ratio (for example, 50%) of the minimum delivery quantity 2, the second area 411 is divided into the third areas 411-a, 411-b, and 411. Without being subdivided into -c), one delivery person can be in charge of the second area 411. Alternatively, if the delivery quantity in the second area 411 is smaller than the minimum delivery quantity 2 but larger than the standard ratio (e.g., 50%) of the minimum delivery quantity, the second area 411, unlike FIG. 4, is divided into two different It can be subdivided into third areas, and each third area can be handled by different delivery personnel.

At this time, the standard ratio of the minimum delivery quantity 2 may be a ratio set in the second area 411 by considering the delivery quantity that can be performed per delivery person based on past delivery statistics.

In this way, the subdivision unit of each area is determined considering the delivery volume of each area, and based on the subdivision unit, each delivery person in each area can be in charge of delivery work. For example, as shown in FIG. 4, the second area 411 is subdivided into third areas 411-a, 411-b, and 411-c, but the second area 413 and the second area 415 are divided into delivery volumes. Considering this, it may not be subdivided into a third area.

At this time, in order to process the delivery volume of the third area 411-a, third area 411-b, third area 411-c, second area 413, and second area 415, 5 Each delivery person can be responsible for each area. Since the delivery volume is different on different days, the first area 410 may be subdivided into different areas in consideration of the delivery volume, and each corresponding delivery person may be responsible for delivery work.

According to an embodiment, when the subdivision unit determined in consideration of the delivery volume is the second area or the third area, the time or distance required to move between the routes of the delivery person is longer than a preset threshold (e.g., within 15 minutes or within 500 m). A second or third area may be set in consideration of small movement lines.

For example, the second area 413 may be an area that includes only areas where the time required for a delivery person to move for delivery in the second area 413 is less than 15 minutes. If the N-th item is delivered within the second area 413, the second area 413 may only include an area within 15 minutes of moving to deliver the next N+1-th item. Since the delivery volume is not the same every day, if the time required to deliver the N-th item and the N+1-th item exceeds 15 minutes, the N+1-th item may not be included in the second area 413.

For another example, the third area 411-a may be an area that includes only areas where the time required for a delivery person to move for delivery in the third area 411-a is less than 15 minutes. If the third area (411-a) delivers the Nth item within the third area (411-a) and moves to deliver the next N+1 item, the third area (411-a) can only include the area within 15 minutes. there is.

Accordingly, the second area into which the first area 410 is subdivided may not be a fixed area but may include an area that varies from day to day in consideration of the time required for delivery. That is, the second area can be variably determined each day in consideration of the time required for delivery, and the number of second areas can be determined by considering the ratio between the delivery quantity and the minimum delivery quantity within the variably determined area. At this time, the minimum delivery quantity is not fixed and may change each day to correspond to the variable area.

Likewise, the third area into which the second area 411 is subdivided may not be a fixed area but may include an area that varies from day to day in consideration of the time required for delivery. That is, the third area can be variably determined each day in consideration of the time required for delivery, and the number of third areas can be determined by considering the ratio between the delivery quantity and the minimum delivery quantity within the variably determined area. At this time, the minimum delivery quantity is not fixed and may change each day to correspond to the variable area.

According to an embodiment, when allocating the second areas 411, 413, and 415 to the delivery person, the electronic device may allocate the delivery task by considering the geographic familiarity of the delivery person. Specifically, the geographic familiarity may be determined by considering the number of times the delivery person has delivered in the corresponding area, and the electronic device may allocate the delivery person to the corresponding area by considering the geographical familiarity. For example, if there are three delivery workers in charge of delivery work in the second area 411, the delivery work in that area can be assigned to the delivery person who has made the most deliveries in the past.

Alternatively, due to the delivery volume varying from day to day, when the delivery volume in the second area 413 is redistributed to the second area 411 and the second area 415, the delivery volume in the second area 411 and the second area 413 Delivery work can be assigned in the second area 411 and second area 413 to delivery workers who have experience in delivery work. For example, if the delivery volume of the second area 413 is less than 25% of the minimum delivery ratio 2 on a specific day, the delivery volume of the second area 413 is divided into the second area 411 and the second area 415. ) can be redistributed. At this time, in order to smoothly handle delivery work in both the second area 411 and the second area 413, a delivery person who has experience in delivery work in both the second area 411 and the second area 413 is assigned to the corresponding area. You can assign delivery tasks at . Similarly, in order to smoothly handle delivery work in both the second area 415 and the second area 413, a delivery person who has experience in delivery work in both the second area 415 and the second area 413 is assigned to the corresponding area. You can assign delivery tasks at .

In other words, due to the second or third area being determined variably every day in consideration of the delivery volume, delivery workers cannot be in charge of the area in a fixed manner and the area in charge may change flexibly depending on the variably determined area. there is. Accordingly, delivery work in the relevant area may be assigned priority to delivery workers who have delivery experience and thus geographic familiarity.

According to an embodiment, the electronic device may compare the delivery quantity scheduled to be delivered to the area in charge of the camp with the delivery quantity allocated to a plurality of delivery workers capable of performing delivery tasks in the camp during the first time. For example, you could compare the total amount of deliveries assigned to each Courier 1 to 100 available to make deliveries during the first hour at Camp A with the total amount of deliveries scheduled for delivery that day to the area covered by Camp A. there is. If the total delivery volume scheduled for delivery that day from Camp A to the area covered is more than the total of the shipment volume assigned to each delivery person, the electronic device performs the delivery operation during a second time different from the first time. You can allocate remaining delivery volume to delivery personnel.

The camp has a plurality of delivery workers responsible for delivery work during pre-set daytime hours (e.g., 07:00 to 19:00) and delivery work during pre-set night time (e.g., 18:00 to 01:00). It may include a plurality of delivery workers who are in charge of delivery work and a plurality of delivery workers who are in charge of delivery work at a preset early morning hour (for example, 12:00 to 08:00).

If it is difficult for the electronic device to handle the total delivery volume scheduled to be delivered during the preset daytime hours by multiple delivery workers in charge of delivery during the daytime hours, the remaining delivery volume will be delivered at a preset night time or preset early morning time. Can be assigned to delivery personnel in charge.

At this time, the electronic device may allocate a delivery quantity so that multiple items scheduled to be delivered to the same delivery address can be delivered in a bundle at once. For example, rather than assigning multiple items scheduled to be delivered to the same delivery address to delivery workers at different times, the schedule can be managed so that they can be delivered to the same delivery person at once to improve delivery efficiency.

Figure 5 is a diagram for explaining order density considered in the process of allocating delivery quantity according to an embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 5 , the second area 510 may include apartments A, B, and C, and the second area 520 may include houses A, B, and C. The order density can be determined by considering the delivery quantity per unit area corresponding to the area. For example, in the case of apartments, there is a geographical advantage in that larger quantities can be delivered in a relatively faster time than houses, so whether delivery is possible within one building, such as an apartment or building, may be considered. Accordingly, the order density of an area containing apartments may be higher than that of an area containing houses.

For example, 20 deliveries from Apartment A, 15 deliveries from Apartment B, 18 deliveries from Apartment C, 3 deliveries from House A, 1 delivery from House B, and 2 deliveries from House C. Assume it is a case.

At this time, the third area (not shown) into which the second area 510 is subdivided is an area containing apartment A, and the other third area (not shown) into which the second area 510 is subdivided is an area containing apartment B. area, and another third area (not shown) into which the second area 510 is subdivided is an area including apartment C and may be an area subdivided in consideration of delivery volume. Additionally, the second area 520 is not subdivided in consideration of the delivery volume, and one delivery person can be responsible for the delivery volume of the second area 520.

At this time, although the delivery person in charge of the area including apartment A has a smaller area than the delivery person in charge of the second area 520, the order density may be high because a relatively large delivery volume must be processed.

If the order density is high, the delivery volume can be processed in a short period of time, which can improve the efficiency of delivery work. Therefore, even though the delivery volume of the delivery person in charge of the area including Apartment A is relatively larger than the delivery volume of the delivery person in charge of the second area 520, the distribution of the work load of the delivery person violates fairness due to the high order density. It doesn't work.

Accordingly, the electronic device can allocate delivery volume to the delivery person in each area by considering the order density corresponding to the area in charge.

According to an embodiment, when handling a delivery within a building, it can be completed with, for example, 10% less effort than when delivering in a typical situation such as a house. For example, handling 30 deliveries within one building can be completed with the same effort as delivering 3 deliveries under normal circumstances.

Accordingly, the electronic device may calculate the delivery quantity by applying a weight (eg, 10%) to the delivery quantity within one building. For example, when calculating the delivery volume of the third area including apartment A, the electronic device may apply a weight of 10% to the delivery volume R of apartment A and calculate the delivery volume as 0.1R. Therefore, the workload can be distributed in a balanced manner with delivery workers in charge of other areas that do not include apartments.

At this time, the weight applied to the delivery quantity may be set differently in consideration of the properties of the building. For example, Apartment A, Apartment B, and Apartment C have different infrastructure, such as different heights, presence and absence of elevators, number of elevators, and structures. Therefore, even if Apartment A, Apartment B, and Apartment C handle 10 deliveries each, different delivery times may occur.

The electronic device can monitor the location of the terminal used by the delivery person, and since the delivery person presses the completion button each time they complete a delivery, all deliveries are completed in a specific building by taking into account the time when multiple completion buttons are pressed. Monitoring is possible as needed. For example, since apartment A inputs the complete button every time it completes 10 deliveries, the electronic device considers the time taken from inputting the first complete button to inputting the last 10 complete buttons to calculate the number of times needed to complete all deliveries. You can monitor time. Accordingly, the electronic device can apply different weights to each building based on statistics, taking into account the time required to complete all deliveries in this particular building.

Figure 6 shows a flowchart of an information provision method performed by an electronic device according to an embodiment. The foregoing description may apply to overlapping content.

Referring to FIG. 6, in step S610, the electronic device may check information related to at least one delivery person capable of performing delivery work at the camp during the first time. If information about at least one delivery person capable of performing delivery work during the first hour of the day in the camp is entered, the electronic device may check the entered information.

In step S620, the electronic device may allocate a deliverable quantity to each at least one delivery person based on a preset model.

At this time. The preset model may be a model in which the delivery volume that can be performed per hour is set based on statistics in advance, taking into account at least one type of delivery person, the delivery person's working hours, order density, delivery route, and geographical familiarity. The electronic device can allocate the delivery volume that can be performed by each delivery person performing same-day delivery work based on a preset model.

At this time, the area covered by the camp may include a plurality of first areas, a plurality of second areas in which the first area is subdivided, and a plurality of third areas in which the second area is subdivided. The subdivision unit is not fixed and can be determined variably by considering the delivery volume of the region. If the region is divided into multiple areas based on the segmentation unit, each area can be handled by one delivery person to handle delivery work.

Additionally, the order density may be determined by considering the delivery volume per unit area of the corresponding region among the first, second, and third regions. In the case of fast delivery within one building, such as an apartment or building, the order density is high, and delivery can be processed more efficiently compared to a typical house.

In addition, when the subdivision unit determined in consideration of the delivery volume of the region is the second area or the third area, the time required for movement between the routes of the delivery source among the plurality of second areas or the plurality of third areas is the threshold ( For example, it can correspond to a moving line smaller than T minutes). For example, when delivering the Nth item and the N+1th item, the area in charge of the delivery person can be assigned to include a route with a travel time less than a threshold.

In addition, geographic familiarity can be determined based on the number of times a delivery person has delivered in the corresponding area in the past, and based on this, the corresponding area can be assigned as a priority area.

In addition, the delivery person type is a delivery person whose delivery volume that can be performed per hour is applied differently depending on the contract, and the delivery person's working hours are the time excluding the preset time at which the delivery person cannot deliver from the first time. You can.

In step S630, the electronic device may provide information about the delivery quantity allocated to each at least one delivery source for the area covered by the camp. Accordingly, each delivery person in the camp can check related information about each area he or she is responsible for through the terminal he or she is using and perform delivery duties accordingly.
