1 shows a system according to one embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 1 , the system may include an electronic device 10, a means of transportation 1 (20), a means of transportation 2 (30), a means of transportation 3 (40), and a network 50. In the system shown in FIG. 1, only components related to the present embodiment are shown. Accordingly, those skilled in the art can understand that other general-purpose components may be further included in addition to the components shown in FIG. 1 .

The electronic device 10 and the means of movement 1 (20), the means of movement 2 (30), and the means of movement 3 (40) may communicate with each other within the network 50. The network 50 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 mutual It is a data communication network in a comprehensive sense that includes a combination and enables each network constituent entity shown in FIG. 1 to communicate smoothly with each other, and may include wired Internet, wireless Internet, and mobile wireless communication network. Wireless communication includes, for example, wireless LAN (Wi-Fi), Bluetooth, Bluetooth low energy (Bluetooth low energy), Zigbee, WFD (Wi-Fi Direct), UWB (ultra wideband), infrared communication (IrDA, Infrared Data Association) ), Near Field Communication (NFC), etc., but is not limited thereto.

The electronic device 10 may provide all information related to the delivery service and may be included in a server providing information related to the delivery service. Here, the delivery service is, for example, a food delivery service, and when a user orders food, delivery needs to be completed within a short period of time. Specifically, when a user orders food sold at a specific store using a terminal, the electronic device 10 may transmit related information to the store, and if the store approves the order, the electronic device 10 sends the order. Relevant information may be transmitted to the delivery person to be delivered. The delivery person may provide a delivery service corresponding to the order based on the used means of transportation. At this time, the means of transportation is a means used by the delivery person in the process of moving when providing the delivery service, and may include, for example, a motorcycle, a car, and an electric kickboard. Mobility is different for each means of transportation, and the electronic device may display related information on a map in consideration of such mobility in advance.

The electronic device 10 may display the amount of orders placed at each store on a map, and the delivery person may move to an area where stores with large orders are gathered and wait for delivery. Specifically, the electronic device 10 may display information on the amount of orders by region on a map provided to the delivery man, and the delivery man may move to the corresponding area and wait to provide more delivery services based on the map. can At this time, each store has unique location information, and the electronic device 10 can display information corresponding to the order quantity on a map based on the unique location information of each store, and the delivery person uses this to display the corresponding information. Delivery service can be provided by moving to the region.

In more detail, the electronic device 10 may check order data for each grid of the region, and display level information for each grid according to the confirmed order amount based on the order data for each grid on the map. The relationship between the grid for each region and the level information will be described in detail in another drawing below. Hereinafter, specific processes performed by the electronic device 10, the means of transportation 1 (20), the means of transportation 2 (30), and the means of transportation 3 (40) in relation to information provision during delivery will be described.

Referring to FIG. 2 , the electronic device may provide a map indicating a heat map for region 1 to the delivery man's terminal, and the delivery man may check the order quantity in region 1 using the heat map displayed on the terminal. When a delivery person is located in an area with a high order volume, more delivery services can be provided than in an area with a low order volume, and thus the delivery person can earn more income.

Region 1 may be a region corresponding to the region 205 on the map, and may be a region divided into administrative units. Level information for each grid may be displayed on the map as shown in FIG. 2 according to the order amount confirmed based on the order data for each grid of Region 1. For example, a grid with a large order quantity may be displayed relatively darker than a grid with a relatively small order quantity.

The electronic device may determine the location of the delivery man located in area 1 on the map and provide a heat map corresponding to the location of the delivery man to the delivery man terminal. If only the heat map of the region corresponding to the location of the delivery person is provided, the load on the electronic device generated in the process of checking the order data for each grid and displaying the level information for each grid can be relatively reduced. Relevant information can be provided quickly. However, unlike FIG. 2 in which only a heat map corresponding to region 1 is provided, a heat map of a region adjacent to region 1 may also be provided to the deliveryman terminal.

Here, the heat map may correspond to level information for each grid displayed on the map according to the order quantity confirmed based on the order data for each grid of the region corresponding to the location of the delivery person. Specifically, the heat map may be displayed so that level information for each grid according to the order amount confirmed based on the order data for each grid of Region 1 can be distinguished.

The grid size corresponding to region 1 may change according to zoom-in or zoom-out. For example, in the case of FIG. 2 , the grid size corresponding to area 1 may correspond to 500m*500m, and when zoomed in, the grid size may be further subdivided and changed to 100m*100m. The grid size is related to the number of sales points included in the grid. As the grid size increases, the number of sales points included in the grid may increase, and as the grid size is subdivided, the number of sales points included in the grid may decrease. there is.

At this time, the total order amount in Region 1 is the same regardless of the grid size, but based on the grid size, the order data for each grid may be different, and the level information for each grid may be changed in consideration of the grid size. For example, regardless of zooming in or zooming out, the total order quantity in Region 1 is the same, but the number of stores included in Grid 1 (500*500m) is relatively larger than the number of stores included in Grid 2 (100m*100m). Level information corresponding to may be different from level information corresponding to grid 2. Specifically, the level information corresponding to grid 1 may be displayed on the map in a darker color than the level information corresponding to grid 2 to indicate the order quantity of the corresponding region. Details in this regard will be described in other drawings below.

On the screen of FIG. 2 displayed on the delivery person's terminal, price information 201 and order status 203 may be displayed together. The price information 201 is a cost to be received by a delivery person when a delivery service request is received in a corresponding region, and this may be determined in consideration of various circumstances. In addition, the order status 203 indicates current order information in a corresponding region, and may be divided into preset stages. For example, if the order status 203 is normal, the current order quantity in region 1 corresponds to the normal level, and if the order status 203 is high, the current order quantity in region 1 is above the normal level. A corresponding case is indicated, and when the order status 203 is small, it indicates a case in which the current order amount in region 1 corresponds to less than a normal level.

The delivery man may zoom in by selecting the icon 211 and may zoom out by selecting the icon 213 . When zooming in, the grid size corresponding to area 1 may decrease from 500m*500m to 100*100m. Alternatively, when zooming out, the grid size corresponding to region 1 may increase from 500m*500m to 1km*1km. Zoom-in and zoom-out by the

icons

211 and 213 are only an example, and zoom-in and zoom-out by other methods may also be included in the scope of the present specification.

Referring to FIG. 3 , contents described in FIG. 2 may be applied to price information 301 , order status 305 , and

icons

311 and 313 . Mission information 303 includes information on additional benefits received when participating in the mission in addition to price information 301 for delivery, when the delivery person performs the received mission together when delivering according to the delivery service request. can do. In this case, the benefit may be information about an additional cost or may include information about a different type from the cost.

Area 307 may be an area corresponding to area 2 on the map. Region 2 may correspond to a different administrative district from region 1 in FIG. 2 . When the location of the delivery person corresponds to region 2, the electronic device may display a heat map corresponding to region 2 as shown in FIG. 3 . Based on the information displayed on the heat map, the delivery man can identify areas with high demand for delivery service within Region 2, and the electronic device instructs the delivery man to move to the region with high demand for delivery service, so that delivery can proceed smoothly. can do. The heatmap may correspond to a visually displayed map so that orders within region 2 can be distinguished. For a detailed description of the heat map, refer to FIG. 5 below.

Referring to FIG. 4 , a grid corresponding to the area 400 displayed on the map may be checked. The grid shape may be a hexagonal shape as shown in FIG. 4, a circle or a rectangle, or other shapes. The grid size may be divided into preset sizes. 4 shows the same size as the

grids

401, 403, 405, and 407, but this is only an example and is not limited thereto.

When a delivery person zooms in on the area 400 on the map, the size of the grid 401 to grid 407 may be changed corresponding to the degree of zooming in. Alternatively, when a delivery person zooms out the region 400 on the map, the size may be changed from grid 407 to grid 401 corresponding to the degree of zoom out.

The grid 401 may be an area including a plurality of grids 403, the grid 403 may be an area including a plurality of grids 405, and the grid 405 may include a plurality of grids 407. It may be an area that includes

According to an embodiment, when a delivery person zooms in on a map, the size of all grids corresponding to the corresponding area may be collectively reduced from the grid 401 to the grid 403 as a size change. In this case, the order quantity confirmed based on the order data for each grid 401 may be determined based on the order data for each grid 403 . Since the grid 401 includes a plurality of grids 403, the order quantity confirmed based on the order data for each grid 401 is the total order quantity for each of the plurality of grids 403 included in the grid 401. can respond to

According to an embodiment, when a delivery person zooms in on a map, the size of all grids corresponding to a corresponding area may be different from each other. For example, even when the delivery person zooms in to the maximum, the grid 401 , the grid 403 , the grid 405 , and the grid 407 may be displayed together as shown in FIG. 4 . This is because the grid size is determined based on the order amount of the region corresponding to the grid, and the size may not change from the grid 401 to the grid 403 because the order amount of the region corresponding to the grid 401 is small, and the grid ( This is because there is a relatively large amount of orders in the region corresponding to 407), so it is necessary to subdivide and display them.

According to an embodiment, level information for each grid may be classified into a first level, a second level, a third level, and a fourth level based on a predetermined criterion for each grid size. In this case, the standard set for each grid 403 and the standard set for each grid 401 may be different. Level information for each grid 403 may be classified into a first level, a second level, a third level, and a fourth level based on a predetermined criterion for each grid 403 . Alternatively, the level information for each grid 401 may be divided into a first level, a second level, a third level, and a fourth level based on a predetermined criterion for each grid 401 . Here, the first level corresponding to the grid 401 and the first level corresponding to the grid 403 may be identically displayed on the map, but applied standards may be different.

Referring to FIG. 5 , a corresponding area on a map may be divided into grids 501 , 520 , and 530 having the same size. In this case, although the grid size is the same, the level information for each grid according to the order quantity may be different and displayed separately on the heat map.

Level information for each grid may be determined according to the confirmed order quantity based on the order data for each grid. In detail, level information may be determined according to the confirmed order amount based on a plurality of order data generated in a region corresponding to the grid 510 . In addition, level information may be determined according to the confirmed order amount based on a plurality of order data generated in a region corresponding to the grid 520 . In addition, level information may be determined according to the confirmed order amount based on a plurality of order data generated in the region corresponding to the grid 530 .

At this time, the order data generated in the corresponding region may include past order information corresponding to past order information or a past time interval corresponding to the current time during a preset period in addition to the current real-time order data. For example, the order data may include past order information generated in the corresponding region for the last week in addition to current real-time order data. Alternatively, the order data may include past order information that occurred at 12:00 in the region during the last week corresponding to the current time (2021.08.06. 12:00). That is, the level information for each grid may include information on an expected order quantity based on past order information in addition to current real-time order data.

Here, since the amount of orders generated in the area corresponding to the grid 510 is relatively large, the level information displayed on the map may be relatively higher than the level information corresponding to the grids 520 and 530, which is displayed more boldly on the map. It can be. In addition, since the amount of orders generated in the area corresponding to the grid 520 is relatively smaller than the amount of orders generated in the area corresponding to the grid 510 but greater than the amount of orders generated in the area corresponding to the grid 530, the grid ( The level information corresponding to 520) may be in the middle of the level information corresponding to the grid 510 and the grid 530, and may be displayed on the map with a medium level of darkness. In addition, since the amount of orders generated in the area corresponding to the grid 530 is relatively small, it may be displayed as the lightest shade on the map. In this way, the variation of the intensity level displayed corresponding to the level information for each grid may be set in advance so as to be intuitively distinguished, and thus displayed on the map.

According to an embodiment, the level information for each grid may be determined by additionally considering an order quantity in a region corresponding to the grid and a deliveryman's moving means. In the case of the food delivery service, there are foods that must be delivered within a certain time (eg, 30 minutes) due to their nature, and in this case, delivery service for the food is provided to delivery workers using a car or on foot who are relatively restricted in free and fast movement. Filtering can provide relevant information. Specifically, for a delivery man using a motorcycle capable of relatively free and fast delivery, level information may be determined according to an order amount confirmed based on a plurality of order data generated in a corresponding region. However, for delivery workers using walking, which is capable of relatively slow delivery, order data generated from stores selling food having the above characteristics among a plurality of order data generated in the region may be filtered, and order data excluding the filtered information may be filtered. Level information may be displayed according to the order quantity confirmed based on the data. In this case, the store may set a delivery time in advance in consideration of the attributes of the food to be sold, and the electronic device may provide level information for each grid that is different for each means of transportation in consideration of the delivery time. For example, if food sold by store 1 needs to be delivered within 10 minutes, it is difficult to deliver within 10 minutes to a delivery person using other means of transportation except for a delivery person using a motorcycle. Order data generated from store 1 may be filtered from a plurality of order data, and level information may be determined according to the confirmed order amount based on the filtered order data in the heat map displayed to a delivery man using a vehicle other than a motorcycle. there is. The heat map displayed to the delivery man on foot may display level information according to the confirmed order quantity based on order data generated by filtering order data generated at the store 1 . That is, when the delivery man sets a different means of transportation to motorcycle and walking, the level information displayed on the terminal used by the delivery man may be displayed differently even though the current location of the delivery man is the same.

According to the embodiment, weights considering the moving direction according to the moving means of the delivery man may be different, and the grid size may be displayed on the map considering the weights. Specifically, when the delivery person moves from the first location 521 to the second location 523 using a means of transportation, the first weight may be determined in consideration of traffic information in the corresponding moving direction, and also the second location 523 ) to the first location 521, the second weight may be determined in consideration of traffic information in the corresponding movement direction. This is because delivery times may be different from each other when traffic information is considered even for the same movement route. For example, when moving from the first location 521 to the second location 523, the first weight may be determined to be 1 in consideration of traffic information according to the direction of movement, and from the second location 523 to the first location ( 521), the second weight may be determined as 2 in consideration of traffic information according to the direction of movement. In this case, the size of the grid displayed on the map may be different according to the moving direction of the delivery man. Specifically, when the delivery person moves from the first location 521 to the second location 523, information according to the grid size 405 may be displayed on the map in consideration of the first weight, or the second location ( When moving from 523 to the first position 521, information according to the grid size 407 may be displayed on the map in consideration of the second weight. When the weight is relatively high due to heavy traffic, the electronic device can smoothly manage the entire delivery service by further subdividing the corresponding area and displaying related information on the map. A deliveryman on the move can intuitively understand the relevant situation through a more subdivided grid size in the area without a separate zoom-in operation.

Referring to FIG. 6 , it can be confirmed that there is one delivery man in the area corresponding to the grid 610 and seven delivery men in the area corresponding to the grid 620 . That is, the electronic device may also display information on other deliverymen located in the area where the deliveryman is located on the map.

At this time, if the area corresponding to the grid 610 is an area with a large amount of orders, the electronic device may instruct the movement of another delivery person so that smooth delivery service can be provided, and the area corresponding to the grid 610 may occur. You can manage the delivery service for your order so that it can be provided smoothly.

An area requiring additional arrangement of a delivery person may be determined based on the level information for each grid, and the electronic device may instruct another delivery person in a nearby area capable of moving to the corresponding area to move to the corresponding area. When another delivery person moves to the corresponding area according to the instructions and provides delivery service, the electronic device may provide additional benefits as mission information 303 of FIG. 3 .

Referring to FIG. 7 , in step S710, the electronic device may check the location of the delivery man on the map. The electronic device may monitor the location of the delivery man providing the food delivery service using an application installed in the delivery man terminal, and thereby confirm the location of the delivery man. At this time, the electronic device can also check information on the transportation means (eg, motorcycle, car, etc.) used by the delivery person.

In step S720, the electronic device may check order data for each grid of the region corresponding to the location of the delivery person. Specifically, order data generated from a plurality of stores included in a grid corresponding to a region where a delivery person is located may be checked. In this case, the grid size may change according to zoom-in or zoom-out, and the electronic device may check order data generated from a plurality of stores included in the changed grid size. For example, when the grid size changes from 500m*500m to 100m*100m according to zoom-in, the electronic device may check order data generated from a plurality of stores included in the 100m*100m grid.

In addition, the electronic device may check the order data for each grid by additionally considering the confirmed means of transportation of the delivery person. For example, since it is difficult for a delivery person using a mobile means of transportation that is difficult to quickly deliver food due to relatively low mobility, it is difficult to perform a delivery service for the corresponding order, so the electronic device can check the order data filtered for the corresponding order.

In this case, the order data for each grid may include past order information for a predetermined period in addition to current real-time order data. Alternatively, the order data for each grid includes, in addition to the current real-time order data, order information generated in the past time period corresponding to the current time (eg, 2021. 08. 06. 12:00) (order information generated at 12:00 in the last week) ) may be included.

In addition, the electronic device may check order data of a region corresponding to the location of the delivery person, as well as order data of a region adjacent to the corresponding region. When the electronic device checks order data for all regions, overload due to loading may occur. Therefore, order data for a region corresponding to or adjacent to the location of the delivery person may be checked.

In step S730, the electronic device may display level information for each grid according to the confirmed order amount on the map based on the order data for each grid.

The level information for each grid is information corresponding to a level in which order quantities generated at retail stores included in the corresponding grid are classified based on a predetermined criterion. For example, when it is determined that the amount of orders generated from stores included in Grid 1 is small based on a preset criterion, the electronic device displays level information corresponding to Grid 1 based on the determination result. can do.

In addition, the electronic device may classify a level corresponding to an order amount generated at a store included in the corresponding grid in consideration of a grid size that changes according to zoom-in or zoom-out, and display the divided level on the map. Specifically, when the grid size is changed from 500m * 500m to 100m * 100m according to zoom-in, the electronic device can check level information corresponding to the amount of orders generated at stores included in the 100m * 100m grid and display it on a map. there is.

In addition, the electronic device may additionally consider the means of transportation used by the delivery man to determine level information and display it on a map. Based on the characteristics of the food, a delivery man using a transportation means with relatively low mobility cannot smoothly provide a delivery service for the food sold at the store, so order data for each grid may be filtered. In this case, since the filtered order data considers the means of transportation used by the delivery man, the electronic device may determine the level information by reflecting this.

At this time, the electronic device may instruct another delivery person to move to the area determined based on the grid-specific level information, and mission information may be provided as an additional benefit when another delivery person moves and provides delivery service in the area. there is.

In addition, the electronic device may determine the weight by considering the moving direction according to the transportation means of the deliveryman and traffic information corresponding thereto, and the electronic device may display the grid size considering the weight on the map. For example, a first weight applied when moving from a first location to a second location and a second weight applied when moving from the second location to the first location may be different in consideration of traffic information even though the distance is the same. When the weight is relatively large, the electronic device can further subdivide the grid size and display it on the map, and the delivery person can intuitively check the related situation without a separate zoom-in operation.

In step S740, the electronic device may update level information for each grid.

The electronic device may update the level information for each grid according to an update cycle considering the order quantity in the region. For example, in a region where the order amount is relatively large, the update cycle may be set equal to or shorter than that of a region where the order amount is relatively small.
