In addition, the user is willing to accept lower pay because than special delivery because the delivery route is on their pre-determined mobile activities. As a result, the method for stop-by logistics of the present invention requires a lower logistics processing cost than existing home delivery services.

Description

Forward logistics method

The present invention relates to a method for logistics, in particular to a logistics method for drop-in delivery.

Home delivery is a very important link in the rapid development of online shopping and online transactions. A good home delivery logistics can help reduce the seller's delivery money and time cost, and can reduce the buyer's time cost of picking up the goods, which can meet the needs of both buyers and sellers. . The home delivery industry tends to grow against the trend in a depressed environment. This phenomenon also reflects the prevailing "home economy".

Existing home delivery operators must establish transfer stations and/or warehouses at each major freight node, and need to employ a large number of delivery men to deliver goods. Although a good home delivery logistics system can reasonably reduce the cost of transporting unit goods, a good home delivery logistics system The logistics system also relies on a large amount of capital and labor investment. Therefore, even if the existing home delivery logistics charges are generally accepted by the public, the home delivery charges still have their minimum logistics processing costs.

For goods with low commodity value, the minimum logistics processing fee for existing home delivery may not be less than the commodity value. For example, the value of a small daily necessities or food may only be around 100 yuan, but the existing home delivery charges may be 60, 70% or more of the price of the commodity. , such home delivery charges obviously cannot be absorbed by themselves, and must be passed on to the buyer in whole or in part, but for the buyer, the cost of the commodity price plus the home delivery fee has far exceeded the market price of the commodity, and This will greatly reduce the buyer's willingness to purchase, and once the smooth flow of goods cannot be achieved, it will be difficult for the business scale to grow upwards. Therefore, how to further reduce logistics costs and increase consumption is really what people in the field have considered.

The main purpose of the present invention is to provide a method that helps to reduce logistics costs.

In order to achieve the above-mentioned and other purposes, the present invention provides a kind of logistics method by the way, which comprises:

A server is provided, the server has a plurality of delivery tasks waiting to be processed, and each delivery task includes a current location information of a cargo, and further includes at least one of a cargo relay location information and a cargo destination information;

The server allows a user to create path information including a path start point and a path end point, and the server obtains a suggested path information from the path start point to the path end point according to the path information;

The server allows the user to set a detour limit;

The server provides a logistics display interface for displaying a map information. The server is used to overlay the suggested route information on the map information and display a drop-in area. The area where the distance is not greater than the detour limit value;

The server is further used for judging whether the delivery tasks meet a drop-in logistics condition, and stacking the matching ones on the map data. Follow-up information or cargo destination information is also located in the drop-in area;

The server allows the user to undertake at least one delivery task that meets the conditions of drop-in logistics.

Through the above-mentioned design, the drop-in logistics method provided by the present invention is suitable for the general mobile activities of the general public, such as picking up and delivering goods on the way to and from get off work. In this way, there is no need to establish a huge transfer station and delivery staff. The purpose of goods circulation can be achieved, and because the construction and management costs are reduced, the on-the-road logistics method of the present invention helps to achieve lower logistics processing fees compared with the existing home delivery service.

The present invention provides a forward logistics method, which involves an electronic computer running a computer program, and displaying its operation interface on a screen or similar device for a user to operate the electronic computer to execute the present invention, to realize the pairing of forward logistics, and to operate the electronic computer by the user. At the time, depending on the type of computer, the user may use a mouse, a keyboard, a touch pad, a touch screen or other input devices to operate.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the drop-in logistics method includes:

Provide a remote server. It can be understood that the server may have cloud computing capabilities and a cloud hard disk for storing information, so the server can store multiple delivery tasks waiting to be processed. Each delivery task Represents the requirement that at least one cargo needs to be transported from one location to another. Each delivery task includes a current location information of the cargo, representing the current actual location of the cargo, and each delivery task also includes a cargo destination information, representing the cargo. The destination location waiting to be delivered; in a possible implementation, the server allows the delivery request user to create at least one delivery task on the server, and the delivery request user must provide at least the current location information of the goods when creating the delivery task and cargo destination information; in a possible implementation, the server is used to obtain a delivery route from the cargo current location information to the cargo destination information according to the cargo current location information and the cargo destination information; in a possible implementation , the server is further used to create a plurality of route nodes on the delivery route. These route nodes can be used as the relay information of the cargo, representing the possible relay delivery locations where the cargo can be split into segments for delivery along the delivery route. , the advantage of distinguishing an entire delivery route into multiple segments that can be split arbitrarily and can be delivered in multiple segments is that it helps to increase the communication between users who demand delivery and users who actually perform delivery. Matching probability; in a possible implementation, the server encourages the delivery user to select a convenience store as the information on the current location of the goods and the information on the destination of the goods, and the selected relay delivery location is preferably a convenience store;

On the other hand, the server also allows the user to create a route information including a route start point and a route end point. In a possible situation, such users are people who have actual commuting or moving needs, and where these users are expected to commute. Or before moving, you can create path information on the server, and then select whether there are goods that can be transported along the way; in a possible implementation, the path information further includes a vehicle information, which represents when the user moves from the start point of the path to the end point of the path The means of transportation used, such as walking, riding a motorcycle, driving, or taking the MRT; then, the server is also used to obtain a suggested route information from the starting point of the route to the end of the route according to the route information. In the case of vehicle information, the suggested path information will conform to the actual possible path of the vehicle; in a possible implementation, the suggested path information may be the shortest distance path from the start point of the path to the end point of the path, or the path from the start point of the path to the end point of the path Forward the path with the shortest estimated time-consuming; in a possible implementation, after the server obtains the suggested path information, it also allows the user to adjust the nodes in the suggested path information and replace them with new suggested path information, so that the user can change the suggested path information Adjust the path information to your preferred path;

In addition, the server also allows the user to set a detour limit value, which represents the distance that the user is willing to deviate from the recommended route information in order to complete the delivery task. On the contrary, the smaller the detour limit value is, it means that the user wants to complete the delivery task as close to the recommended route information as possible; The higher the probability of pairing between users who deliver goods, and vice versa; FIG. 1 schematically shows the user interface for creating route information. In this exemplary interface, the server allows the user to enter the route together. Starting point, path ending point, vehicle information and detour limit value;

As shown in Figure 2, after the user performs the aforementioned steps, the server is also used to provide a logistics display interface, the logistics display interface is used to display a map image, and the server is also used to overlay the map image to suggest a route Information A and display a drop-off area Z, that is, the suggested route information and the range of the drop-off area are displayed on the map data, wherein the drop-off area Z is used to indicate that the distance between the map data and any point in the recommended route information is not greater than the surrounding area. The area of the road limit value; when the detour limit value is larger, the drop-in area is larger, and vice versa;

Next, the server is further used to determine whether any delivery task meets a drop-in logistics condition, and the drop-in logistics condition includes: (1) the current location information of the goods of the delivery task is located in the drop-in area; (2) the relay location of the goods of the delivery task The information or cargo destination information is also located in the route area; (3) the cargo current location information is closer to the origin of the route than the cargo relay location information and the cargo destination information; and (4) the cargo relay location information and the cargo destination information are both closer than The current location information of the cargo is closer to the end of the route; in a possible implementation, when the cargo relay location information and cargo destination information of a delivery task are both located in the drop-in area, the server preferentially arranges the user to deliver the cargo to the cargo destination The location of the location information; when the relay location information of a delivery task is located in the drop-off area but the cargo destination information is not within the drop-off area, the server allows the delivery task to be delivered in stages by the user; If there is a delivery task that meets the requirements for drop-in logistics after the above judgment, as shown in Figure 3, the matching delivery task is overlapped on the map, that is, the current location of the goods of the delivery task is displayed on the map. At least one of information, cargo relay location information, and cargo destination information. At this time, the server allows the user to undertake at least one delivery task that meets the conditions of drop-in logistics; in a possible implementation, the map information only shows the delivery The information of the current location of the goods in the delivery task, the server will only further display the information of the goods relay location or the destination information of the delivery task after the user clicks on the delivery task, so as to avoid the confusion of the map information; on the other hand, in the In a possible implementation manner, if there is no delivery task that meets the logistics conditions on the way through the aforementioned judgment, the server may also prompt and suggest the user to modify the detour limit value, and correspondingly modify the drop-in area according to the modified detour limit value. And re-judgment whether these delivery tasks meet the conditions of drop-in logistics.

In a possible usage scenario, the delivery user needs to pay for the completed delivery task, and the user who actually performs the delivery task can receive payment, physical reward and/or virtual reward.

In a possible implementation, the server allows the user to record the commonly used path information, and the server also allows the user to set a fixed moving period of the common path information, and the server is further configured to automatically set the moving period when the user fixes the moving period. It is judged whether there is a matching delivery task, and if so, it will actively prompt the user whether to undertake the delivery task. Such an implementation is suitable for users who need to commute every day. When commuting, the server automatically arranges whether there is a delivery task that can be undertaken by the way, and earns additional income during the commuting process.

Since the drop-in logistics method provided by the present invention can encourage the general public to deliver goods along the way during regular moving activities, such as picking up and delivering goods along the way during commuting and commuting, there is no need to build a huge transfer station and delivery staff. The purpose of the circulation of goods can be achieved by the preparation, and because the construction and management costs are reduced, and the user is also delivering goods for the sake of the trip, he is usually willing to accept a lower payment than the special delivery. Therefore, the method of the present invention The logistics method can help achieve lower logistics processing fees compared to existing home delivery services.
