[0044] In the actual logistics delivery process, especially for commercial buildings, such as office buildings, the fluctuation of the flow of people in such commercial buildings has its own rules. If logistics delivery is carried out under the condition of large flow of people, since the transportation of goods will occupy a large amount of elevator space and stop at many floors, these characteristics of logistics delivery will seriously affect the experience of people using the elevator, further causing the concentration of people. When using intelligent logistics methods for delivery, these issues must be taken into account to make more reasonable delivery task arrangements.

The bus 1002 may be divided into an address bus, a data bus, a control bus, etc. For ease of representation, Figure 1 Only one thick line is used in the diagram, but this does not mean that there is only one bus or only one type of bus.

[0057] The memory 1003 can be a ROM (Read-Only Memory) or other types of static storage devices that can store static information and instructions, a RAM (random access memory) or other types of dynamic storage devices that can store information and instructions, or an EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory), a CD-ROM (Compact Disc Read-Only Memory) or other optical disk storage, optical disk storage (including compressed optical disk, laser disk, optical disk, digital versatile disk, Blu-ray disk, etc.), a magnetic disk storage medium or other magnetic storage device, or any other medium that can be used to carry or store the desired program code in the form of instructions or data structures and can be accessed by a computer, but is not limited to these.

[0058] Optionally, the logistics distribution system 1000 may further include a transceiver 1004. The transceiver 1004 may be used for receiving and sending signals.

The output unit 1006 may include but is not limited to one or more of a display device, a speaker, a vibration device, and the like.

[0061] Although Figure 1 The logistics distribution system 1000 having various devices is shown, but it should be understood that it is not required to implement or possess all the devices shown. More or fewer devices may be implemented or possessed alternatively.

[0062] Optionally, the memory 1003 is used to store application code for executing the solution of the present application, and the execution is controlled by the processor 1001. The processor 1001 is used to execute the application code stored in the memory 1003 to implement any logistics distribution method provided in the embodiments of the present application.

[0063] The logistics distribution system provided in the first aspect of the present application includes a robot that can perform related actions according to the instructions issued by the processor, such as moving from one place to another according to a certain movement instruction. The robot can be loaded with items, such as express boxes. In some embodiments, the logistics distribution system provided by the present application also includes a number of express boxes, which are used to place items and can be locked and closed with a predetermined password lock. After obtaining the unlocking information and passing the verification, it can be opened to take the items in the express box. There can be multiple types of robots. For example, one robot is specifically used for transportation, and the other can be carried on the former robot. After arriving at the designated location, they carry express boxes to deliver express. Each robot is loaded with at least one express box, and the express boxes are allocated according to the actual specific delivery tasks.

[0064] Optionally, in some implementations of the above embodiments, the express box is a detachable express box, which can be installed or removed on the robot. These detachable express boxes are used to place items to be delivered and can be dispatched to a designated location by the robot. This detachable express box can be arranged in a standard docking interface. After being recognized by the robot within the range that the robot can recognize, the robot grabs it and places it on the assembly position of the robot to achieve the installation of the detachable express box on the robot. Correspondingly, when the robot moves to the designated delivery location, the user can obtain the item information through verification, remove the detachable express box, and remove the detachable express box from the robot. Alternatively, the robot moves to the designated location to be delivered, and the robot first unloads the loaded express cabinet to the designated location, and the user can scan the express box at the designated location to take out the express. Further details can be known by relevant technical personnel, which are not the focus of the invention of this application and will not be repeated.

[0065] The elevator control module is part of the logistics distribution system provided by the present application. The elevator control module establishes a communication connection with the elevator system in a certain building and can obtain the operation data of the elevator system in the building, including historical data and real-time data. The elevator control module can achieve communication connection with the processor of the logistics distribution system through wireless communication.

[0066] Following the above, the following part of the embodiment of the present application will introduce in detail a logistics distribution method provided by the second aspect of the embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 2 As shown, the logistics distribution method includes the following steps:

[0067] S100: In response to a logistics delivery instruction, move to a first delivery location.

[0068] S200: Acquire elevator control information within a preset range of the first delivery location, where the elevator control information includes elevator occupancy rate information.

[0069] S300: Execute logistics distribution tasks according to elevator control information and logistics distribution instructions.

[0070] Logistics distribution instructions are instructions given by humans and received by the logistics distribution system through its own input module or input unit, such as a touch screen, keyboard or memory interface. Of course, they are not limited to manual input, and may also be input in the form of information codes or program codes. Logistics distribution instructions generally include logistics information of the items to be transported, the shipping location, the receiving location, the shipper and the consignee, etc. The receiving location may include multiple address information, for example, it may be a larger range of address information, such as the first distribution location. Optionally, the first distribution location may be a specific location of an office building, specifically a warehouse or a shipping and receiving center of the office building.

[0071] After S100, the logistics distribution system drives the relevant robots to carry the items to be delivered to the first delivery location according to the logistics distribution instructions, and then decides whether to carry out further logistics distribution tasks according to the specific conditions of the first delivery location. That is, it is necessary to obtain the elevator control information through S200. For example, in a certain office building, it is necessary to obtain the elevator control information through the elevator control module belonging to the same logistics distribution system. The elevator control information can only be obtained in the corresponding first delivery location, and the elevator control information obtained at different specific first delivery locations is naturally different.

[0072] The elevator control information includes elevator occupancy information. As the name implies, the elevator occupancy information reflects the use of the elevator in the building corresponding to the first delivery location. After statistics of a large amount of elevator operation data, the operation frequency of the elevator in each period of each day can be obtained. After S300, once the logistics distribution system finds through the elevator control information that the elevator is in a relatively frequent use process, the logistics distribution system will correspondingly reduce the logistics distribution tasks of the second stage (the distribution task of the first stage is to move the items to be delivered to the first delivery location by a robot). On the contrary, if the elevator is in a relatively idle state, the logistics distribution system will adopt a more frequent or larger number of express delivery tasks.

[0073] The logistics distribution method provided in the present application automatically moves the delivery equipment to the designated first delivery location according to the logistics distribution instructions, and then collects the elevator control information of the first delivery location. The elevator control information can reflect the elevator occupancy information corresponding to the first delivery location, and determines the specific delivery task of the delivery equipment according to the busyness of the building at the first delivery location, so as to complete the logistics distribution task more intelligently and efficiently.

[0074] Optionally, after the step of moving to the first delivery location and before the step of obtaining elevator control information within a preset range of the first step location, it also includes: obtaining building properties of the building corresponding to the first delivery location, and determining whether to execute the logistics delivery task according to the building properties.

[0075] In actual situations, there may be various buildings. Some buildings have lower floors or are not equipped with elevators. Therefore, after the logistics distribution system drives the robot to the first distribution location, it first further reads the building attributes of the building corresponding to the first distribution location. The building attributes may be directly included in the collection address information of the logistics distribution instruction, or the robot may collect them in real time at the first distribution location. For example, a camera may be used to identify the building appearance of the building, or the building attribute information of the building may be obtained by scanning a code, or the building attributes of the surrounding buildings to be entered may be obtained in combination with the GPS positioning system. Optionally, if the building attributes reflect that the building is a commercial building, the logistics distribution system determines to further execute the logistics distribution task. If it is not a commercial building, it may be set as a logistics distribution task without performing other steps, and directly send logistics arrival information to the consignee to inform the consignee to pick up the goods.

[0076] Optionally, in some implementations of the second aspect of the present application, the logistics delivery instruction includes floor information, room information, and item ownership information. In S300, the logistics delivery task is executed according to the elevator control information and the logistics delivery instruction, including:

[0077] According to the elevator control information and floor information, modify the parameters of the elevator control information and move to the building floor corresponding to the floor information. According to the room information, move to the room corresponding to the room information. According to the item ownership information, send reminder information.

[0078] Through the above-mentioned implementation method of the present application, the logistics distribution system can reasonably deliver the items to the place closest to the recipient as accurately as possible according to the logistics distribution instructions and elevator control information, providing the user with the greatest convenience. In this process, the specific floor information, room information, etc. can be regarded as the second distribution location, or even the third distribution location. The robot's task execution at this level, of course, also depends on the robot's own recognition and positioning functions. For example, the robot's own visual module and positioning module can continuously scan the geographic location information in the building attribute information, and rely on its own motion module to drive its own movement until it arrives at the location specified by the logistics distribution instructions. Since it is not the focus of the invention of the present invention, this aspect will not be described in detail, and the recognition and positioning technology in the prior art can be directly used.

[0079] Optionally, in an implementation of the second aspect of the present application, the elevator control information includes elevator passenger flow weight information, and the logistics delivery instruction also includes a courier quantity coefficient;

[0080] The steps of executing the logistics distribution task according to the elevator control information and logistics distribution instructions also include:

[0081] Determine the number of express parcels to be delivered based on the elevator passenger flow weight information and the express quantity coefficient;

[0082] Execute logistics delivery tasks based on the number of express deliveries.

[0083] In this implementation, the focus is on solving the problem of how the logistics distribution system provided by this application can perform logistics distribution more reasonably according to the elevator usage. As shown in Table 1:

[0084] Table 1 Elevator control information of office building X

[0085]

[0086] The information shown in Table 1 includes the name of office building X, which is equivalent to the first delivery location, the specific elevator operation date, and the elevator passenger flow in each time period (referred to as the number of in and out times in Table 1), and defines the elevator passenger flow weight information, referred to as "weight ratio" in Table 1. On December 3, 2019, office building X had a huge passenger flow from 9 to 12 in the morning, especially from 9 to 10 o'clock, which is the rush hour. The elevator passenger flow weight can be defined as A or B, and the number of express delivery items delivered by the robot can be represented by the number of detachable express boxes to be delivered, which can be calculated using the following formula:

[0087] The number of detachable express boxes = weight ratio + express quantity coefficient * 0.3.

[0088] Optionally, in Table 1, weight ratio A=0, weight ratio B=0.1, weight ratio C=0.5, weight ratio D=0.8, and the express quantity coefficient is defined as 1 when there are many express deliveries, 0.6 when there are many express deliveries, and 0.2 when there are few express deliveries. The specific values ​​of the above weight ratios and express quantity coefficients can be adjusted according to the actual application situation and are not limited to the above values.

[0089] Therefore, for the time period of 8-9 am, the number of detachable express boxes delivered by the robot = 0.8 + 1*0.3 = 1.1, and the number value 1.1 corresponds to 20 detachable express boxes. For the time period of 9-10 am, the number of detachable express boxes delivered by the robot = 0 + 1*0.3 = 0.3

[0090] 0.3 corresponds to 0 boxes. During the period from 10 to 11 a.m., the number of detachable express boxes delivered by the robot = 0.1 + 1 * 0.3 = 0.4, and 0.4 corresponds to 0 boxes. During the period from 11 to 12 a.m., the number of detachable express boxes delivered by the robot = 0.1 + 1 * 0.3 = 0.4, and 0.4 corresponds to 0 boxes. During the period from 12 to 1 a.m., the number of detachable express boxes delivered by the robot = 0.1 + 1 * 0.3 = 0.4, and 0.4 corresponds to 0 boxes.

[0091] During the time period from 2 to 3 p.m., the number of detachable express boxes delivered by the robot = 0.5 + 1 * 0.3 = 0.8, where 0.8 corresponds to 10 boxes, that is, the robot delivered 10 detachable express boxes to the designated floor of office building X during this time period. During the time period from 3 to 4 p.m., the number of detachable express boxes delivered by the robot = 0.5 + 0.6 * 0.3 = 0.68, where 0.68 corresponds to 5 boxes, and the delivery robot delivered 5 detachable express boxes to the designated floor of office building X during this time period.

[0092] It can be seen that during peak hours, when the elevator is busy, the logistics distribution system does not give the robot further delivery tasks. During off-peak hours, the robot can deliver a small number of detachable express boxes upstairs, and during off-peak hours, the logistics distribution system controls the robot to deliver a larger number of detachable express boxes upstairs for users to pick up. Therefore, logistics distribution tasks can be carried out more intelligently and automatically.

[0093] In summary, in order to illustrate the entire implementation process of the delivery method provided by this application, an example is provided below. Figure 3As shown, the logistics distribution system receives the logistics distribution instruction and moves the robot to the first distribution location, that is, the express arrives at the designated community, and then the robot collects information, or hands it over to the logistics distribution system for judgment, or the logistics distribution system directly judges whether the building in the community is a commercial building according to the logistics distribution instruction. If it is not a commercial building, normal distribution is performed, and after arriving at the community, the express is delivered directly. If it is a commercial building, it is necessary to further deliver the express to the specific floor and room on the commercial building. Therefore, the logistics distribution system obtains the elevator control information or elevator control data in the designated community, and judges whether the logistics distribution task should be carried out immediately according to the elevator control data. Specifically, it is carried out according to the busyness of the elevator reflected in the elevator control data. When the elevator is busy, other time periods are allocated for logistics distribution, and if the elevator is not busy, logistics distribution starts immediately.

[0094] The third aspect of the present application provides a logistics distribution device 10, such as Figure 4 As shown, it includes a receiving module 11, an acquisition module 12 and an execution module 13, wherein:

[0095] The receiving module 11 is used to move to the first delivery location in response to the logistics delivery instruction.

[0096] The acquisition module 12 is used to acquire elevator control information within a preset range of the first delivery location, where the elevator control information includes elevator occupancy rate information.

[0097] The execution module 13 is used to execute the logistics distribution task according to the elevator control information and the logistics distribution instruction.

[0098] The logistics distribution device provided in the present application automatically moves the delivery equipment to the designated first delivery location according to the logistics distribution instructions, and then collects the elevator control information of the first delivery location. The elevator control information can reflect the elevator occupancy information corresponding to the first delivery location, and determines the specific delivery task of the delivery equipment according to the busyness of the building at the first delivery location, so as to complete the logistics distribution task more intelligently and efficiently.

[0099] Optionally, after the step of moving the logistics distribution device 10 to the first distribution location and before the step of obtaining elevator control information within a preset range of the first step location, it also includes: obtaining building properties of the building corresponding to the first distribution location, and determining whether to execute the logistics distribution task according to the building properties.

[0100] Optionally, the logistics distribution instruction includes floor information, room information and item ownership information. The execution module 13 executes the logistics distribution task according to the elevator control information and the logistics distribution instruction, including:

[0101] According to the elevator control information and floor information, modify the parameters of the elevator control information and move to the building floor corresponding to the floor information. According to the room information, move to the room corresponding to the room information. According to the item ownership information, send reminder information.

[0102] Optionally, the elevator control information includes elevator passenger flow weight information, and the logistics distribution instruction also includes a courier quantity coefficient. The execution module 13 executes the logistics distribution task according to the elevator control information and the logistics distribution instruction, and also includes:

[0103] According to the elevator passenger flow weight information and the express quantity coefficient, the number of express items to be delivered is determined. According to the number of express items to be delivered, the logistics delivery task is executed.

[0104] Based on the same inventive concept, an embodiment of the fourth aspect of the present application provides a computer-readable storage medium on which a computer program is stored. When the computer program is executed by an electronic device, it implements the logistics distribution method described in any one of the embodiments of the second aspect of the present application.

[0105] By executing the stored computer program on the computer-readable storage medium provided by the present application, it is possible to automatically move the delivery equipment to the designated first delivery location according to the logistics delivery instructions, and then collect the elevator control information of the first delivery location.
