Description

Logistics processing system

The disclosure relates to a logistics technology, and in particular to a logistics processing system.

With the popularity of shopping in non-physical stores, it is becoming more and more popular for consumers to place orders through the Internet or by mail, and then use the logistics industry to prepare packages according to the order content and post them. However, the current logistics processing methods are mostly based on the time when the order was established, and the parcels are packed sequentially to further process the parcels. However, due to considerations such as transshipment timeliness and direct delivery costs, it is still impossible to greatly shorten the delivery time.

An aspect of the present disclosure discloses a logistics processing system, which includes a pick-up point device, a buyer user device, and a pick-up server. The pick-up point device is used for setting at the pick-up point. The pick-up server is connected to the pick-up point device and the buyer's user device to receive order information, and generates a pick-up barcode based on the order information to send to the pick-up point device, wherein the order information corresponds to the shopping behavior of the buyer user, and the pick-up barcode is used to attach to the package, and the package corresponds to the order information. When the pick-up point device detects that the barcode matching the pick-up barcode has been scanned, the pick-up point device generates status information, and immediately sends a pick-up message to the buyer user device through the pick-up server to notify the buyer user to pick up the package at the pick-up point, wherein the status information indicates that the package has been sent and received by the pick-up point.

Based on the above, the logistics processing system of the present disclosure selects a pick-up point for the seller user or the manufacturer's personnel to directly place the package at the pick-up point. When the pick-up barcode is scanned in response to detection, the logistics processing system of the disclosed embodiment immediately sends a pick-up message to the buyer user device. In this way, it will no longer be limited by considerations such as transshipment timeliness and direct distribution costs, and the delivery time will be greatly shortened.

For the current logistics technology, for business to customer (Business to Customer, B2C) or consumer to customer (Customer to Customer, C2C) shopping, various logistics companies are still unable to greatly shorten the delivery time due to considerations such as transit timeliness and direct delivery costs. In view of this, this disclosure proposes a logistics processing system. The logistics processing system notifies the seller user or manufacturer to deliver the package directly to the pick-up point, and immediately sends a pick-up message to the buyer user device operated by the buyer user after scanning the code of the package, so as to notify the buyer user to pick up the package at this pick-up point. In this way, various transfers by logistics operators (including steps such as package delivery, package transfer, and package entry into the store) will no longer be required, which will also greatly shorten the delivery time.

The manufacturer server 140 can send the order information to the pick-up server 120, and the pick-up server 120 generates a pick-up barcode (for example, converts the order information into a Code39 one-dimensional barcode) according to the order information to send the pick-up barcode back to the manufacturer server 140, the manufacturer server 140 can send the pick-up barcode to the manufacturer device 150, and the manufacturer device 150 can print the pick-up barcode. At this point, the manufacturer's personnel can attach the printed pick-up barcode to the package, and deliver the package directly to the pick-up point.

In some embodiments, for customer-to-consumer shopping, the seller user device 160 may receive order information from the buyer user device 110 . In some embodiments, when the seller user device 160 transmits the order information to the pick-up server 120, the pick-up server 120 may return the generated pick-up barcode to the seller user device 160 to notify the seller user to deliver the goods, and the seller user device 160 prints the pick-up barcode, and then allows the seller user to attach the printed pick-up barcode to the package to deliver the package to the pick-up point. In some embodiments, the vendor user device 160 may also include the above-mentioned printed circuit.

For example, when a buyer user wants to purchase commodities from a seller user, the buyer user can input product information, recipient name, recipient phone number, and pick-up point name through the buyer user device 110 to generate order information, and send the order information to the seller user device 160. The seller's user device 160 can send the order information to the pick-up server 120, and the pick-up server 120 generates a pick-up barcode according to the order information to send the pick-up barcode back to the seller's user device 160, and the seller's user device 160 can print the pick-up barcode. At this point, the seller user can attach the printed pick-up barcode to the package, and deliver the package directly to the pick-up point.

In some embodiments, the pick-up point device 130 can receive order information. In some embodiments, when the pick-up point device 130 transmits the order information to the pick-up server 120, the pick-up server 120 can return the generated pick-up barcode to the pick-up point device 130 to notify the seller user to purchase the goods, and the pick-up point device 130 can print the pick-up barcode, and then allow the seller user to attach the printed pick-up barcode to the package to place the package at the pick-up point. In some embodiments, the point of pickup device 130 may also include the printed circuit described above.

For example, when a buyer user wants to purchase a product from a seller user, the buyer user can input product information, recipient name, recipient phone number, and pick-up point name through the buyer user device 110 to generate order information, and send the order information to the seller user device 160 to notify the seller user. The seller user can input order information through the pick-up point device 130, and the pick-up point device 130 can transmit the order information to the pick-up server 120, and the pick-up server 120 generates a pick-up barcode according to the order information to send the pick-up barcode back to the pick-up point device 130, and the pick-up point device 130 can print the pick-up barcode. At this time, the seller user can attach the printed pick-up barcode to the package, and place the package directly at the pick-up point.

Furthermore, in step S220 , the pick-up point device 130 detects whether a barcode matching the pick-up barcode has been scanned. If yes, proceed to step S230. If not, return to step S220. In some embodiments, the point of pickup device 130 may include a scanner (eg, a laser scanner) for scanning barcodes.

For example, when the manufacturer's personnel or the seller user deliver the package to or place it at the pick-up point, the manufacturer's personnel or the seller user can use the pick-up point device 130 to scan the barcode on the package. At this point, the pick-up point device 130 can detect whether a barcode matching the pick-up barcode has been scanned.

Furthermore, in step S230, the pick-up point device 130 generates status information, and immediately sends a pick-up message to the buyer user device via the pick-up server 120 to notify the buyer user to pick up the package at the pick-up point, wherein the status information indicates that the package has been sent and received by the pick-up point.

For example, once a barcode matching the pick-up barcode is scanned, the pick-up point device 130 will set the status information of the package as "delivered" and "in-store" in the package status table, wherein the package status table includes the status information of all packages currently stored at the pick-up point.

In some embodiments, the pickup message may include the order number, the recipient's phone number, and the name of the pickup point. In some embodiments, the pick-up point device 130 can set an order number for the order information.

For example, refer to FIG. 3 together. FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of a pick-up message MSG according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 3, the pick-up message MSG includes the recipient's phone PHN, order number NO, and pick-up point name PP. The PHN of the recipient is "0911111123", the order number is "012345678901", and the name of the pick-up point PP is "Family Chinese Guest Store". When the buyer user device 110 receives the pick-up message MSG, the buyer user device 110 can notify the buyer that the user can pick up the package at the location whose pick-up point name PP is "Family Chinese Guest Store".

In some embodiments, the pick-up server 120 may store a time threshold, and detect whether the time the package has not been picked up is greater than the time threshold. In some embodiments, when the pick-up server 120 detects that the time is greater than the time threshold, the pick-up server 120 can generate a return barcode according to the order information, and send the return barcode to the pick-up point device 130 . In some embodiments, when the point of pickup device detection 130 has scanned a barcode that matches the return barcode, the point of pickup device 130 authenticates that the package can be returned. In some embodiments, the return barcode is different from the pickup barcode. In some embodiments, the time threshold can be preset by the manager of the pickup server 120 . In some embodiments, the return barcode may be a one-dimensional barcode or a two-dimensional barcode.

In some embodiments, the pick-up server 120 can further transmit the return barcode to the seller user device 160 to notify the seller user to return the goods, and the seller user device 160 is used to display the return barcode for the pick-up point device 130 to scan.

For example, when the buyer user has not picked up the package for a certain period of time, the pick-up server 120 can generate a return barcode according to the order information, and send the return barcode to the pick-up point device 130 and the seller user device 160 . At this time, the seller user can go to the pick-up point and display the return barcode through the seller user device 160 . In this way, the seller user can scan the return barcode displayed on the seller user device 160 through the pick-up point device 130 . When the point of pickup device 130 detects that a barcode matching the return barcode has been scanned, the point of pickup device 130 authenticates that the package can be returned. In this way, the seller user can pick up the package from the pickup point.

The following is a practical example to illustrate the barcode display. Also refer to FIG. 4 , which is a schematic diagram showing a barcode BR according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 4 , the pick-up point device 130 may include a scanner 131 , and the scanner 131 may scan the barcode BR displayed on the seller's user device 160 to detect whether a barcode BR matching the return barcode has been scanned.

In some embodiments, the pickup server 120 can further transmit the return barcode to the manufacturer's device 150 to notify the manufacturer's personnel to return the product, and the manufacturer's device 150 is used to display the return barcode for the pick-up point device 130 to scan.

For example, when the buyer user has not picked up the package for a certain period of time, the pick-up server 120 can generate a return barcode according to the order information, and send the return barcode to the pick-up point device 130 and the manufacturer's device 150 . At this time, the manufacturer's personnel can go to the pick-up point and display the return barcode through the manufacturer's device 150 . In this way, the manufacturer's personnel can scan the return barcode displayed on the manufacturer's device 150 through the pick-up point device 130 . When the point of pickup device 130 detects that a barcode matching the return barcode has been scanned, the point of pickup device 130 authenticates that the package can be returned. In this way, the manufacturer's personnel can pick up the package from the pick-up point.

It should be noted that the way the manufacturer's device 150 displays the barcode is also the same as that shown in FIG. 4 .

To sum up, the logistics processing system of the disclosed embodiment can select a pick-up point for the seller user or the manufacturer's personnel to directly place the package at the pick-up point. When the pick-up barcode is scanned in response to the detection, the logistics processing system of the disclosed embodiment can further send a pick-up message to the buyer user device immediately. In this way, there is no need to carry out the complicated purchase and transshipment process of the package, and the effect of greatly shortening the delivery time of the purchase is achieved. In addition, when it is detected that the package has not been picked up after a period of time, the logistics processing system of the disclosed embodiment immediately sends the return barcode to the seller's user device or the manufacturer's device to notify the seller's user or manufacturer's personnel that they can pick up the returned package at the pick-up point. In this way, there will be no need to carry out the complicated return and transfer process of the package, and the effect of greatly shortening the delivery time of the return is achieved.
