FIG. 3 is a flow chart for explaining the operation of the electronic device used in the method for providing delivery location information according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 3 , in step S310 , the electronic device may receive an order including information of a delivery location from a user terminal. The order may further include information of the goods to be delivered. The information of the goods may include, for example, at least one of name information, quantity information, and price information. The delivery location of the order may be, for example, the real-time location of the user terminal confirmed by a satellite communication module. According to an embodiment, the delivery location of the order may be any location specified within a fixed distance from the real-time location of the user terminal, or may be an arbitrary location that is unrelated to the real-time location of the user terminal but is specified by the user for delivering goods to other people. According to other embodiments, the delivery location of the order may be a location corresponding to the address entered by the user when placing an order.

In step S320, the electronic device may confirm whether the delivery location corresponds to a delivery area in the set delivery area set. For example, the set delivery area set may include at least one delivery area such as a park or a campus where it is difficult to accurately specify a delivery location.

According to an embodiment, when the area of a region corresponding to an address is higher than a benchmark value, or when it is confirmed from previous order history records that the order quantity received by the region corresponding to an address is higher than a benchmark value, the region corresponding to the address can be adaptively added to the delivery region set.

Each delivery area in the set delivery area set may include a plurality of unit areas, each of which includes inherent identification information. At this time, step S320 may include: a step of comparing the identification information of each unit area of a delivery area with the order delivery location. The unit areas of the delivery area may have polygonal shapes. As an example, the unit areas of the delivery area may have similar quadrilateral shapes. The unit areas of the delivery area may have different areas. As an example, the closer the unit area of the delivery area is to the boundary line of the delivery area, the smaller its area is.

In step S330, when the delivery location corresponds to the first delivery area in the set delivery area set, the electronic device can confirm the recommended delivery location associated with the first delivery area. The recommended delivery location can be a location that is easily accessible to the user and the delivery person and the user and the delivery person can easily find each other. According to an embodiment, in step S330, a plurality of recommended delivery locations associated with the first delivery area can be confirmed.

The recommended delivery location may be manually or pre-set based on at least one of the delivery history information implemented in the first delivery area, the delivery personnel input information in the first delivery area, and the deliverable location information associated with the first delivery area. In other words, the delivery location information providing method of the embodiment of the present invention may further include the step of setting the information of the recommended delivery location. The step of setting the information of the recommended delivery location may be pre-implemented before step S310, for example, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

The delivery history information may include delivery route information and delivery completion location information associated with previously implemented deliveries. For example, the delivery route information may be generated based on the delivery person's location information obtained in a fixed time unit in a previously implemented delivery. For example, the delivery completion location information may be generated based on the delivery person's location information at the moment when the delivery completion input is received in a previously implemented delivery. When setting a recommended delivery location based on the delivery history information, for example, the recommended delivery location may be set to a location where the number of delivery route overlaps is higher than a benchmark value or a delivery completion location with a frequency higher than a benchmark value (i.e., a delivery completion location with more previously implemented deliveries).

The delivery person input information may include at least one of image information and text information of a delivery completion location associated with a previously performed delivery. When a recommended delivery location is set based on the delivery person input information, the recommended delivery location may be set, for example, to a location on a map corresponding to the image information of the delivery completion location. According to an embodiment, the image information and text information of the delivery completion location associated with a previously performed delivery in the delivery person input information may be provided to the user terminal together with the recommended delivery location.

For example, the deliverable location information associated with the first delivery area may include information on at least one of a building, an entrance, a sculpture, a sign, a tree, a gazebo, and a structure set up for product delivery within or near the first delivery area.

In step S340, the electronic device may provide the user terminal with at least one of the confirmed recommended delivery locations. Step S340 may include the following steps: providing the user terminal with a page including a UI, wherein the UI displays information of at least one of the recommended delivery locations on a map. The information of at least one of the recommended delivery locations may include distance information between the delivery location and at least one of the recommended delivery locations.

In step S330, when a plurality of recommended delivery locations associated with the first delivery area are confirmed, a recommended delivery location provided to the user terminal may be determined based on the distance from the delivery location or store location among the plurality of recommended delivery locations. More specifically, among the plurality of recommended delivery locations, a recommended delivery location whose distance from the delivery location or store location is lower than a reference value may be provided to the user terminal. At this time, in step S340, the electronic device may provide the user terminal with two or more of the plurality of recommended delivery locations. According to an embodiment, the number of recommended delivery locations provided to the user terminal may be limited to a specified number, and the upper limit of the number of recommended delivery locations may be determined by at least one of the area of the delivery area and the topography of the delivery area.

According to an embodiment, the UI of the page provided to the user terminal may further display the information of the delivery location and the information of the store. The information of the store may include the store location information and the estimated arrival time information of the delivery person. For example, the estimated arrival time information of the delivery person may be calculated by the sum of the time spent preparing the merchandise in the store that received the order and the time spent by the delivery person moving from the store to at least one of the recommended delivery locations.

Furthermore, according to an embodiment, the store information may further include delivery fee information. The delivery fee is the amount charged for the delivery service, and may be changed according to the delivery person's predicted arrival time information. For example, the delivery fee may be changed according to the delivery person's predicted arrival time.

FIG4 is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the electronic device, the user terminal and the delivery person terminal for providing the delivery location information in one embodiment of the present invention. In the following, for the sake of convenience, the description of the matters substantially the same as those described with reference to FIG3 is omitted, and the differences are described in detail.

4 , after step S340, in step S410, the electronic device 100 may receive input for selecting a recommended delivery location from the user terminal 110. For example, when a plurality of recommended delivery locations are provided to the user terminal 110, the user may consider the location and characteristics of each of the recommended delivery locations and the distance from the delivery location, and select one of the plurality of recommended delivery locations. According to an embodiment, the user may not select the recommended delivery location provided, and in this case, the electronic device 100 may receive input of the recommended delivery location and other user-desired delivery locations from the user terminal 110.

In step S420, the electronic device 100 may confirm the actual delivery location in response to the input of selecting the recommended delivery location. More specifically, the recommended delivery location selected by the user may be determined as the actual delivery location, and the electronic device 100 may confirm the determined actual delivery location. According to an embodiment, the electronic device 100 may further confirm whether there is a reason why the determined actual delivery location was previously not available for delivery.

In step S430 and step S440, the electronic device 100 may provide the actual delivery location to the user terminal 110 and the delivery person terminal 120 respectively.

According to the present invention, users can select the recommended delivery locations provided, and the actual delivery locations can be confirmed according to the user's input. Thus, a location that is easily accessible to the user and the delivery person and that the user and the delivery person can easily find each other can be set as the actual delivery location, and rapid and efficient product delivery can be performed at the location.

FIG5 is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the electronic device, the user terminal and the delivery person terminal for providing the delivery location information in one embodiment of the present invention. In the following, for the sake of convenience, the description of the matters substantially the same as those described with reference to FIG3 and FIG4 is omitted, and the differences are described in detail.

5 , after step S430 and step S440, in step S510, the delivery person may deliver to the user of the user terminal 110. The delivery may be performed at an actual delivery location selected from the recommended delivery locations.

According to an embodiment, before step S510, the delivery location information providing method of the embodiment of the present invention may further include: the electronic device 100 provides the user terminal 110 with the delivery person approaching notification information. The delivery person approaching notification information may be provided before the delivery person arrives at the actual delivery location based on the distance information between the actual delivery location and the delivery location. For example, compared with the delivery person's predicted arrival time, the delivery person approaching notification information may provide information that is earlier than the time it takes for the user to move to the actual delivery location calculated based on the distance information between the actual delivery location and the delivery location. In this way, the user can arrive at the actual delivery location first, thereby reducing the waiting time of the delivery person.

In step S520, the electronic device 100 may receive input related to delivery completion from the delivery person terminal 120. The electronic device 100 may receive at least one of input related to delivery completion, delivery history information, and delivery person input information from the delivery person terminal 120. Delivery history information including delivery route information and delivery completion location information may be automatically transmitted from the delivery person terminal 120 to the electronic device 100 based on the delivery completion input. The delivery person who has completed the delivery may input at least one of image information and text information of the delivery completion location through the delivery person terminal 120, and the electronic device 100 may receive at least one of image information and text information of the delivery completion location from the delivery person terminal 120. The delivery completion input can be combined with the delivery history information and the delivery personnel input information to facilitate the subsequent determination of whether an erroneous delivery has occurred.

In step S530, the electronic device 100 may update the information of the recommended delivery location based on at least one of the delivery history information and the delivery person input information received from the delivery person terminal 120. For example, when the location of the recommended delivery location displayed on the map is inconsistent with the delivery completion location confirmed from the delivery history information, or when the image information and text information of the delivery completion location associated with the previously performed delivery are different from the delivery person input information, the information of the recommended delivery location may be updated.

In step S540, when the information of the recommended delivery location is updated based on the information input by the delivery person, the electronic device 100 can provide a reward to the delivery person terminal 120 in response to the delivery person's input, thereby helping the delivery person to voluntarily and frequently input various information of the recommended delivery location. According to an embodiment, even if the recommended delivery location is not updated, the delivery person can also provide a reward unconditionally in response to the information input.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the electronic device, user terminal, and delivery person terminal used in the method for providing information on the delivery location according to one embodiment of the present invention. More specifically, when a storage cabinet including at least one unit cell is provided at the recommended delivery location, FIG. 6 is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the electronic device, user terminal, and delivery person terminal used in the method for providing information on the delivery location. In the following, for the sake of convenience, the explanations of matters substantially the same as those explained with reference to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 are omitted, and the differences are explained in detail.

Referring to FIG. 6 , after step S430 and step S440, in step S610, the delivery person may deliver to the storage cabinet of the recommended delivery location. The delivery person who delivers to the storage cabinet of the recommended delivery location may store the product in a cell of the storage cabinet and set a cell unlocking password. At this time, the cell unlocking password may be a one-time password. That is, one cell unlocking password may correspond to one delivery.

In step S620, the electronic device 100 may receive input related to delivery completion from the delivery person terminal 120. The electronic device 100 may receive input related to delivery completion and information of the unit storing the goods from the delivery person terminal 120. The information of the unit storing the goods may include unit number information and unit unlock password information.
