Description

Information processing system and server, information processing method, program

The present disclosure relates to an information processing system, a server, an information processing method, and a program.

Conventionally, delivery boxes are installed in individual homes and collective housing (apartment housing), and when the recipient is absent, the delivery is completed by storing the package in the delivery box, and the delivery completion notification is sent to the recipient's terminal. Processing systems are known. Patent Literature 1 discloses a home delivery system that can store a package in a proxy storage space if it cannot be delivered, in order to cope with the situation where the package cannot be delivered if it is already stored in the home delivery box and the package is redelivered. ing.

JP 2019-109558 A

In the technology disclosed in Patent Document 1, for example, when a package is already stored in a home delivery box, it is stored in a proxy storage space. In the case of parcels, even if the next parcel delivered is of a size that can be stored in the remaining space (so-called empty space) of the home delivery box, it will be stored in the proxy storage space, so the user will have to store parcels from multiple locations. It often needs to be picked up. In addition, if such a thing occurs in each house, the substitute storage space arranged in the common area of the collective housing will be filled up, and redelivery will be necessary after all. In addition, not limited to delivery boxes, when items to be delivered are stored in a predetermined storage space, the availability of the storage space cannot be grasped and is not considered in delivery.

On the other hand, even if we were able to grasp the size of the package in the delivery box and the size of the package to be delivered in advance, the shape of each package actually varies. Therefore, even if it is stored in a delivery box, dead space is generated and it is difficult to store it efficiently. As a result, it cannot be said that excessive use of the proxy storage space can be sufficiently suppressed.

In recent years, autonomously controllable moving bodies such as flying bodies such as drones and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and running bodies such as unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) have been used in industry. starting. Under these circumstances, experimental operation of a parcel delivery system for delivering parcels such as articles ordered on an EC (Electronic Commerce) site or the like by a mobile body has been started. In such a package delivery system, it is assumed that multiple mobile objects will be subject to delivery control. You have set up delivery packages (for example, daily necessities, food, etc.). However, in reality, the user does not place an order while being conscious of the load capacity of a single mobile unit, and usually orders the desired amount of the desired item at the desired timing. Not predictable.

On the other hand, if the delivery efficiency is high, the delivery cost (and thus the delivery fee) will be reduced. Therefore, it is desirable for both the service provider and the user to load a large number of packages onto a single mobile unit. Considering , it is difficult to determine how much space is left in the mobile body loading section, and operation with high loading efficiency is desired.

Therefore, the present disclosure has been made in view of such a background. It is possible to provide an information processing system, a server, an information processing method, and a program that make it easy to grasp and enable efficient storage in various storage spaces.

The main technology of the present disclosure for solving the above problems is storage container type information indicating the type of each volume of a storage container that stores stored items linked to a user, and storage space volume information indicating at least the volume of the storage space. and a residual space calculation unit that calculates residual space information indicating the residual space in the storage space, and an additional storage object extraction unit that extracts additional storage objects that can be stored in the residual space information in the storage space, based on , an information processing system or the like.

According to the present disclosure, by stylizing and managing stored items (for example, delivered items) using the storage container type identification information, it is possible to easily grasp the overall amount of stored items, and to various storage spaces It is possible to provide an information processing system, a server, an information processing method, and a program that enable efficient storage.

The shape of the containment vessel is, for example, a three-dimensional container with a geometric shape, and it is desirable that it be a rectangular parallelepiped (including a cube) in consideration of storage in the containment space and stacking. The containment vessel may be made of any material, including paper, plastic, metal, etc. In particular, corrugated cardboard made of paper or plastic is recommended for ease of production and weight. desirable from the viewpoint of Here, in the present disclosure, storage container type information is set so that the type of the storage container can be identified with respect to the stored items such as delivery items. The containment vessel type is, for example, a plurality of containment vessels that are set to be mutually identifiable based on the volume obtained by dividing the reference storage space volume by a predetermined number (e.g., an integer), with a predetermined storage space volume as the reference storage space volume. Number of multiple containment vessel volumes that are identifiably set for each type of volume (for example, the containment vessel volume obtained by dividing the reference containment space volume by a predetermined number (e.g., an integer) and multiplying it by a number equal to or less than the predetermined number) may include types (e.g. 1/3, 2/3, 1; 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, 1, etc.); A plurality of types of containment vessel volume (for example, 1/2, 1 /4, 1/8 . . . ), but not limited thereto). Further, with regard to the volume of the containment vessel, more specifically, for example, when the standard containment space volume is divided by 4 (i.e., when 1/4), any of the depth, width, and height of the containment space divided by 4, or two of the depth, width, and height of the storage space divided by two.

In addition, the reference storage space volume may not be the same as the predetermined storage space volume, but may be substantially the same (substantially the same) volume. The volume may be obtained by subtracting the excess space (for example, several millimeters or several centimeters), or if a partition is provided inside the containment vessel, the partition (for example, several millimeters or several centimeters) is reduced. (Alternatively, the containment space may be of substantially the same volume as the reference containment space volume, but larger by a partition).

The storage space for storing the user's stored items and/or the storage space subject to the reference storage space volume may be any space having a predetermined volume. It is preferable that it is a space, and more specifically, it is an installation that a user uses, such as a storage space for the user, a delivery box with a smart lock installed in a private house, or a common area for an apartment. The storage space of the delivery box to be placed (the position of the space may be determined in advance by linking information related to the user, or the position where the package is stored by linking information related to the user by the delivery person) storage space such as a shelf, locker, post office box, and cold storage box without electrical locking/unlocking control. In addition, the storage space for delivery may be used as a reference, and a delivery storage unit for a mobile object (a mobile object such as a UAV or UGV, especially an autonomously controlled mobile object) for delivering a package, or a delivery storage space. It may also be a movable object such as a carrier (for example, a truck carrier, a rear box of a motorcycle, a box carriage, a basket carriage, etc.) used for delivery by an employee, or a bag for delivery. Furthermore, the space having a predetermined volume may be a space whose lengths in the depth direction, width direction, and height direction are fixed as described above. It may be a space having a volume with a virtual length in the height direction set for the area where It may also be a space having a volume that is set to a certain value. In addition, it is not limited to these. The storage space to be stored and the reference storage space may be the same, or the size of the storage space to be stored may be the reference storage space multiplied by a predetermined number (especially an integer).

The storage management unit 150 stores items such as delivered items by a reader (for example, a reader operated by a worker, a stationary reader, a reader provided in a work robot (especially an autonomously controlled work robot), etc.). Depending on the contents acceptance process such as reading of the identification code attached to (for example, reading of two-dimensional barcode, RFID tag, NFC, etc.) and input operation of contents information related to contents by workers etc. Information registration such as addition of content identification information in the information storage unit 123 and storage space identification information in the storage space information storage unit 124 and association of user identification information is executed.

The remaining space calculation unit 151 stores storage container type information indicating the type of each volume of a storage container that stores items in the storage space linked to the user, and storage space volume information indicating at least the volume of the storage space. Based on this, residual space information indicating the residual space (so-called empty space) in the storage space is calculated. The residual space calculation method calculates the residual space by a known cartoning calculation algorithm for storing a given object for a given volume of space. Here, the calculation result of the remaining space, especially when the containment vessel type is defined for each predetermined volume with respect to the standard storage space volume according to the predetermined rule as described above, the remaining space is also It becomes a volume value that can be easily converted into the type of the containment vessel, and it can become easier to obtain the residual converted containment vessel type information in which the remaining space is converted into the type of the containment vessel. In particular, as described above, any of the depth, width, and height of the containment space is divided by a predetermined number and multiplied by a number less than the predetermined number. If the type of containment vessel volume is included, or if it includes multiple types of containment vessel volume that are set to be identifiable for each containment vessel volume divided by a predetermined number, the remaining space in the containment space can be calculated more easily. become easier. In addition, when the storage space is partitioned so as to correspond to one of the storage container types by partitions or the like, in the storage space information storage unit 124, the target storage space is linked to the storage space identification information. Identifiably divided area identification information attached to each area divided by a partition or the like and corresponding container type information corresponding to the divided area identification information are stored, and the remaining space calculation unit 151 can store divided area identification information may be used as residual space information.

Here, an example of calculating the remaining space in the case where the containment vessel type is defined for each predetermined volume with respect to the standard storage space volume will be described in a simplified manner using FIG. The containment vessel has a plurality of types of containment vessel volume (for example, 1/ 3, 2/3, and 1).

First, the user information "U0001" is associated with the storage space identification information "0001". If the contents (content information "N0001") stored in a container (container type "S033") with a volume of 1/3 of the standard storage space volume are stored here, the storage space where no contents are stored is stored. , the remaining space information is updated to "2/3" by subtracting 1/3 from 1, and the remaining converted containment vessel type information has two "S033" and or "S066 (standard storage space volume Container type indicating two-thirds of containers)” is updated as information indicating one.

Similarly, when the contents (contents information "N0010") stored in a container (containment type "S033") with one-third of the standard storage space volume are further stored, the contents (N0001) have already been stored. In order to further store in the stored storage space, the remaining space information is updated to "1/3" by subtracting 1/3 from 2/3, and the remaining converted containment vessel type information is "S033" as information indicating one Updated.

　The remaining space is calculated in this way, and can be executed more easily if any of the depth, width, and height of the storage space is divided by a predetermined number, as shown in the example. It should be noted that, as described above, it is possible to calculate a more sophisticated residual space by using a known packing calculation algorithm, in which case the storage positions of already stored contents may also be rearranged.

Also, as in the above example, if the storage space is not stored in a common area in the storage space, but the storage space is divided into partitions so as to correspond to any of the storage vessel types, the remaining space information may be divided area identification information that is not associated with the contents, and the residual conversion container type information may be the corresponding container type information that corresponds to the divided area identification information that is not associated with the contents. In addition, the position of the partition may be movable, and the corresponding container type information may be changed (for example, from two "S033" to "S066", or vice versa), There is not only one corresponding containment vessel type information (for example, "S066") corresponding to each divided area identification information, but instead or in addition, a plurality of corresponding containment vessel type information ("S033" is two ) may be associated.

Next, with reference to FIGS. 7 and 8, information stored in the storage space information storage unit 122 (especially remaining space information) and storage space (for example, storage space groups such as shelves allocated for each individual) Give an example. First, in the storage space identification information "0001", the linked user information is "U0001" and the content information is "N0001". Since it is shown that one "S025" indicating the container type of 1/4 is stored, the remaining space information is "3/4" (remaining converted containment vessel type information is 4 of the standard storage space volume). It is calculated as "S075", which indicates the container type of 30%.

Next, in the storage space identification information "0002", the linked user information is "U0011" and the content information is "N0002". Since it is shown that one "S050" indicating the container type of half of the standard storage space volume is stored, the remaining space information is "1/2" (remaining conversion container type information is the standard storage space volume "S050", which indicates the container type of 1/2, is calculated.

Next, in the storage space identification information "0003", the linked user information is "U0005" and the content information is "N0003". Since it is shown that one "S100" indicating the container type substantially the same as is stored, the remaining space information is calculated as "0" (that is, no space).

Next, in the storage space identification information "0004", the linked user information is "U0003" and the content information is "N0004" and "N0005". Since it is shown that there is one "S025" (for example, the information indicating whether or not vertical stacking is possible indicates that stacking is strictly prohibited) and one "S050" is stored, the remaining space information is "1/4" ( The remaining converted containment vessel type information is calculated as "S025") indicating the container type of 1/4 of the standard storage space volume.

Finally, in the storage space identification information "0005" and "0006", the linked user information is "U0009" (that is, two storage spaces are used), and the content information is "N0006" and "N0007", and since it is indicated that one "S100" and one "S050" are stored as the containment vessel type information corresponding to the contents, the remaining space information is " 0" and "1/2". In this case, the substantial remaining space of the storage space for the user of the user information "U0009" is "1/2" ("S050" indicating the container type whose residual conversion container type information is 1/2 of the standard storage space volume). ).

In this way, the remaining space calculation unit 151 calculates the storage space based on the storage container type information corresponding to the items stored in the storage space linked to the user and the storage space volume information indicating at least the volume of the storage space. It is possible to calculate residual space information that indicates the residual space within. In particular, as the containment vessel type information, a predetermined storage space volume is set as the standard storage space volume, and identification information is set for each containment vessel volume divided by a predetermined number so that the storage space can be stored like a puzzle. Objects can be stored efficiently, and the remaining space volume can be clarified as the remaining conversion container type information. By using this, it is possible to extract additional storage items to be added to the residual space. Details are given below.

The additional content extraction unit 152 extracts additional content information indicating additional content that can be stored in the remaining space of the target storage space. More specifically, the additional storage item extraction unit 152 extracts additional storage items that can be stored based on, for example, residual space information (particularly, residual conversion container type information) corresponding to the residual space of the target storage space. Extract the additional content information shown. That is, compared with the storage container type corresponding to the remaining space, the additional content information corresponding to the storage container type whose volume is equal to or less than the volume indicated by the storage container type is extracted. A plurality of storage container types corresponding to the residual space may be selectable. For example, the residual space calculation unit 151 calculates combination information of the storage container types corresponding to the residual space, Additional storage object information by type may be extracted (for example, a combination that allows two additional storage objects of 1/4 of the containment vessel type to be stored in the remaining space of 1/2, or a combination of 1/4 of the containment vessel type 1 additional storage item and 2 additional storage items of type 1/8 containment vessel, combination of storage of 4 additional items of type 1/8 containment vessel, etc.). As for the additional content information, for example, additional content information (especially list information) may be presented via an application on the user terminal 2, or additional content information (especially list information) may be presented via an application on the worker terminal 3 , list information) may be presented. When the operator selects additional content information, the selected additional content information is transmitted from the data management unit 120 to the user terminal 2, permission confirmation processing for the additional content information is executed on the user's application, When the data management unit 120 receives information indicating permission, it may be determined as additional delivery content information. Furthermore, for example, when it is possible to select two or more additional items to be stored using the combination information, the type of container that cannot be stored is determined according to the type of container of the selected product (for example, , For the remaining space of 1/2, since three additional storage items with a containment vessel type of 1/8 were selected, a volume larger than the containment vessel type of 1/8 cannot be selected, or a containment vessel type of 1/3 Since additional storage items are selected, volumes larger than 1/6 of the containment vessel type cannot be selected, etc.), processing to disable selection of additional content information corresponding to the containment vessel type that has become unstorable (for example, may be grayed out to restrict selection operations, or not displayed in the list information). The additional content can be a variety of content and is exemplified below.

<Example 1 of additional contents>
Additional content information is linked to own user identification information or other user identification information that indicates advertisement items to be provided to the user (also referred to as "own user" when distinguished from "other users") or other users. It may contain advertising material information. That is, the additional content extracting unit 152 extracts the advertising article indicating the advertising article that can be stored in the remaining space based on the converted storage container type information corresponding to the advertising article information and the remaining space information (particularly, the converted residual storage container type information). Extract information as additional content information. The advertising article information includes, for example, advertising article identification information, advertising article size information (depth, width, height), weight information, management temperature zone information, vertical loading information, advertisement type (sample, paper advertisement (flyer, leaflet, etc.) ), advertising article category information (food, beverages, alcoholic beverages, sweets, household goods, cosmetics, etc.), conversion container type information (even if stored in advance, advertising article size may be converted from information and stored), advertiser information, etc. may be included.

Here, other users are users corresponding to other user identification information associated with own user identification information. Other user identification information may be, for example, cohabiting user identification information set as a family member or partner, or proxy user identification information set by the user as a proxy receiving user.

<Process flow>
The flow of processing of the information processing method executed by the information processing system of the present disclosure will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 9 is a flow chart showing an example of processing of the information processing system of FIG.

Here, a user or worker provided by this information processing system accesses the management server 1 using an application (including a web browser) or the like, and when using the service for the first time, performs use registration processing. Alternatively, if an account has already been obtained, the service may be made available by logging in after receiving predetermined authentication such as entering an ID and password. In place of the account, the service may be made available using a unique application ID associated with the application downloaded to the user terminal 2 or worker terminal 3 as user identification information (ID). After this login authentication, use of the service is started via an application (including a web browser) or the like.

First, in this example, the data management unit 120 (especially the storage management unit 150) of the management server 1, for example, according to the content receiving process such as reading of the identification code attached to the content by the reader, a new , the content identification information and the storage space identification information are generated, and the content information and the storage space information are linked to the user and registered (S101). Here, if the storage space is already associated with the user, only the content information may be registered.

Next, the remaining space calculation unit 151 calculates storage container type information indicating the type of each volume of the storage container that stores the items in the storage space linked to the user, and storage space volume information indicating at least the volume of the storage space. , and the remaining space information indicating the remaining space in the storage space is calculated, and the corresponding storage space information is updated (S102). In particular, if the residual space information is residual converted containment vessel type information obtained by converting the residual space into the containment vessel type, the later-described comparison will be facilitated.

Then, in step S102, the residual space for a containment vessel that does not have enough space (for example, the smallest containment vessel type (in particular, the smallest conversion containment vessel type for the object that can be extracted as the additional content in step S104)) is stored. If it is determined that there is no space, etc., this flow ends. After that, if the stored item has already been stored in the storage container corresponding to this system, it is stored in the storage space as it is. After being stored in the storage container of the calculated storage container type, it is stored in the storage space.

On the other hand, in step S102, if it is determined that there is sufficient remaining space (for example, there is at least a remaining space that can accommodate a storage container of the smallest storage container type), the additional content extraction unit 152 selects Additional content information indicating additional content that can be stored in the remaining storage space is extracted (S104). More specifically, for example, as illustrated in FIG. 10, additional

content display areas

1010, 1011, etc. of additional content information are displayed as a list on the application of the user or worker. Additional content information is determined according to the additional content selection operation via the additional content display area 1010 of the item list information, etc., the determined additional content information is transmitted to the management server 1, and the data management unit 120 (especially The storage management unit 150) updates (including adds) additional content information included in the storage space information. Alternatively, extraction of additional content by referring to user information such as purchase history information of the user, or by referring to additional desired content information set in advance by the user, instead of presenting it as additional content list information A predetermined number of additional contents extracted by the unit 152 are presented as options on the user's or worker's application, and the user or worker is made to perform a selection operation to determine the additional contents. A predetermined number of additional contents extracted by is presented on the user's or worker's application as an addition confirmation notice, and the user or worker is made to select whether or not to add the contents, thereby determining the additional contents or additionally storing them. The additional content to be added from among the storable additional content extracted by the entity extraction unit 152 may be determined by the system without intervention of the user's operation and the operator's operation. , the determined additional content information is transmitted to the management server 1, and the data management unit 120 (especially the storage management unit 150) updates (including addition) the additional content information included in the storage space information. Even when the operator selects the additional content information on the application, the additional content may be determined by presenting an addition confirmation notice and allowing the user to select whether or not to add the content. Also, when an additional content item is determined on the user's application or on this system, the information on the additional content item may be displayed on the worker terminal 3 so that the worker can check it during the storage work. Furthermore, based on the information on the additional stored items, the storage work equipment (storage work robot, storage work arm, storage work movable table, etc.) can manage the additional storage items through autonomous control. It may be taken out of a space (for example, a shelf) and stored in a storage space.

Furthermore, the product list display of the additional content includes, for example, a display target designation section 1040 (for example, a check box or a pull-down format) for selecting which type of additional content to display, or which type of additional content has priority. The user may be able to appropriately set the information regarding the display of the additional content by the additional content display information setting unit such as the display order designation unit 1050 that selects whether to display the additional content. Here, "display with priority" means, for example, that the display order is set early, and more specifically, in the case of vertical scrolling, it is displayed on the upper side of the display area, swiped, etc. When proceeding with the additional content information to be displayed in order, it may be displayed first. Further, the selection operation to the additional content display area 1010 or the like of the additional content list information may be the additional content selection operation, or the additional content detailed information screen displayed after the additional content display area 1010 or the like is selected. Additional content selection operations may be made possible within, and are not limited to these.

After that, if the stored item has already been stored in the storage container corresponding to this system, it is stored in the storage space as it is. After being stored in the storage container of the calculated storage container type, it is stored in the storage space, and the selected additional storage item is stored in the remaining space of the storage space and delivered to the user.

As described above, by stylizing and managing stored items (for example, items to be delivered) using the containment vessel type identification information, it becomes easier to grasp the overall amount of stored items, and the efficiency of various storage spaces can be improved. It is possible to provide an information processing system, a server, an information processing method, and a program that enable the storage of data.

The above-described embodiments are merely examples for facilitating understanding of the present disclosure, and are not intended to limit and interpret the present disclosure. It goes without saying that this disclosure can be modified and improved without departing from its spirit, and that this disclosure includes equivalents thereof.
