[0020] The present application will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It is to be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application, rather than to limit the present application. It should also be noted that, for ease of description, only the parts related to the present application, rather than all structures, are shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0021] Embodiment 1

[0022] Figure 1 This is a flow chart of a delivery notification method provided in Example 1 of the present application. The present application embodiment can be applied to reminding a user in a room to go out to pick up a package. The method can be executed by a delivery notification device, which can be implemented by software and / or hardware and specifically configured in a robot.

[0023] refer to Figure 1 A delivery notification method shown includes the following steps:

[0024] S110. Control the robot to go to the target delivery room.

[0025] The robot may be a robot for delivering items, including but not limited to a food delivery robot, a logistics robot, etc. The target delivery room may be a room where the items to be delivered need to be delivered to the target user. Specifically, the robot may carry the items to be delivered and move to the room where the target user is located along a preset planned path. The preset planned path may be obtained by any path planning algorithm in the prior art, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto.

[0026] S120: When the robot is in the area to which the target delivery room belongs, the robot sends an arrival instruction to the target notification bell deployed in the target delivery room, so that the target notification bell responds to the arrival instruction and issues a pickup reminder.

[0027] The target delivery room area may be a preset location or geographic location near the target delivery room, for example, one meter outside the door of the target delivery room. The target notification bell may be a notification reminder device installed in the target delivery room, used to remind users in the room to pick up items. The reminder functions of the target notification bell include but are not limited to preset voice reminders, preset sound reminders, and prompt light reminders. The arrival instruction may be a signal sent by the robot to indicate that the robot has delivered the items to be delivered to the target delivery room area and is waiting for the user in the room to go out and pick up the items.

[0028] Specifically, after the robot transports the items to be delivered to the preset location outside the door of the target delivery room, it sends a signal to the target notification bell installed in the room that the items to be delivered have been delivered to the door of the room, so that after the target notification bell receives the signal, it reminds the user in the room to pick up the items.

[0029] S130: After the item to be delivered is taken out, a pickup completion instruction is sent to a target notification bell, so that the target notification bell stops providing pickup reminders.

[0030] Among them, the pickup completion instruction can be a signal sent to the target notification bell after the robot detects that the item to be delivered has been taken out, indicating that the item has been delivered, with the purpose of informing the target notification bell that there is no need to continue to remind the target to pick up the item.

[0031] Specifically, after the item to be delivered is taken away by the user, the robot recognizes that the item to be delivered is no longer on the robot, and sends a delivery completion signal to the target notification bell, so that the target notification bell stops reminding the user to pick up the item.

[0032] For example, the robot is loaded with items that need to be delivered to Room A, and moves to the door of Room A with the items. A robot delivery waiting area is set outside the door of each room. The robot moves to the delivery waiting area outside the door of Room A and sends a signal to the notification bell in Room A that "the robot has arrived outside Room A and is waiting for the customer to pick up the item". After receiving the signal, the notification bell in Room A continuously reminds the user in the room with sound and light effects, prompting the user to pick up the item. The simultaneous reminder method of sound and light effects allows the user to find the reminder information in time even if he is wearing headphones, or even if he is not facing the notification bell, he can still hear the reminder information, ensuring that the reminder information is conveyed to the user in time.

[0033] The technical solution of the embodiment of the present application controls the target notification bell to remind the user in the room to pick up the item through the interaction between the robot and the target notification bell. The above technical solution solves the problem in the prior art that the user cannot detect that the robot has been delivered to the location due to various factors, and achieves the technical effect of timely notifying the user to go out to pick up the item, thereby greatly saving the waiting time of the robot and improving the delivery efficiency of the robot. At the same time, after the user picks up the item, the robot controls the target notification bell to stop reminding, and the user does not need to manually turn off the notification bell reminder, which facilitates the user's usage mode and improves the user's usage experience.

[0034] Embodiment 2

[0035] Figure 2 This is a flow chart of a delivery notification method provided in Example 2 of the present application. Based on the technical solutions of the above-mentioned embodiments, the present application embodiment supplements the re-reminding operation of the target notification bell to control the target notification bell to remind the user to pick up the item again after being muted.

[0036] refer to Figure 2 A delivery notification method shown includes the following steps:

[0037] S210, controlling the robot to go to the target delivery room.

[0038] S220: When the robot is in the area to which the target delivery room belongs, send an arrival instruction to the target notification bell deployed in the target delivery room, so that the target notification bell responds to the arrival instruction and gives a pickup reminder.

[0039] In an optional embodiment, sending an arrival instruction to a target notification bell set inside a target delivery room so that the target notification bell responds to the arrival instruction and provides a pickup reminder may include: broadcasting an arrival instruction including identification information of the target notification bell in the area to which the target delivery room belongs, so that the target notification bell corresponding to the identification information responds to the arrival instruction and provides a pickup reminder.

[0040] The broadcast may be a method of sending an arrival instruction to all notification bells within a preset range, and the arrival instruction may include but is not limited to identification information of the target notification bell. The broadcast may be in the form of LORA (Long Range Radio) broadcast and the like, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application. The identification information may include but is not limited to the attribute information of the target notification bell itself, such as MAC (Media Access Control Address, local area network address) and / or ID (Identit8 document, identity identification number), etc.

[0041] In a specific implementation, when the robot arrives at a designated location outside the target delivery room with the item to be delivered, the robot broadcasts an arrival instruction to all notification bells within a preset range, including the MAC and ID of the target notification bell. All notification bells that receive the arrival instruction can verify whether the MAC and ID of the target notification bell sent by the robot match their own. In actual practice, only the target notification bell that has been successfully verified will remind the user in the room to pick up the item according to the arrival instruction sent by the robot, and can send a message to the robot confirming receipt of the arrival instruction.

[0042] The technical solution of the above implementation mode enables the target notification bell to obtain the arrival instruction sent by the robot through the verification of the identification information, thereby realizing the pickup reminder for the user in the room. The verification of the identification information can quickly and accurately determine the target notification bell, so that the user in the target delivery room can receive the pickup reminder of the target notification bell in time, thereby improving the accuracy and efficiency of the delivery notification.

[0043] In an optional embodiment, after the arrival instruction is sent to the target notification bell set inside the target delivery room, it can also include: receiving current positioning information sent by the target notification bell; performing deployment position verification according to the current positioning information and standard positioning information of the target notification bell; based on the verification result, selectively controlling the generation of an error deployment record of the target notification bell, and / or selectively using a backup reminder method to remind users in the target delivery room to pick up items.

[0044] The current positioning information may be information used to determine the current location of the target notification bell, for example, it may be the room location information of the current room where the target notification bell is deployed. For example, if the target notification bell is currently installed in room A, the current positioning information is room A, which can be obtained by comparing the location information obtained by the positioning module installed by the target notification bell with the environmental map. The standard positioning information may be the location information of the room where the target notification bell should be installed. For example, if the target notification bell should be installed in room B, the standard positioning information of the target notification bell is room B. Therefore, it should be understood that no matter which room the target notification bell is in at this time, the standard positioning information of the target notification bell can only be room B.

[0045] The deployment location verification can be a verification of the room where the target notification bell is installed, which is used to identify whether the target notification bell bound to the room information is correctly installed in the room. The error deployment record can be information about the installation error of the target notification bell determined due to the failure of the verification. The backup reminder method can be other reminder methods besides the target notification bell reminder, such as mobile phone reminder, pop-up reminder of the computer in the room, robot voice broadcast, etc. Therefore, in the case of verification failure, the backup reminder method can also be used to remind users in the target delivery room to pick up items.

[0046] The technical solution of the above implementation mode verifies the current positioning information with the standard positioning information, and saves the error deployment record or controls the use of the backup reminder method for picking up reminders according to the verification result. The advantage of this is that it can deal with the situation where the target notification bell is installed incorrectly. When it is determined that the target notification bell cannot normally notify the user in the target delivery room, the backup reminder method is used to remind, which can effectively deal with the situation where the target notification bell fails, and promptly notify the user to pick up the object through other methods, thereby improving the fault tolerance rate of the picking up reminder and the working efficiency of the robot.

[0047] In an optional implementation, the delivery notification method may further include: according to the verification result, controlling the sending of a stop reminder instruction to the target notification bell, so that the target notification bell stops providing a pickup reminder.

[0048] It is understandable that when the target notification bell is deployed incorrectly, if the target notification bell issues a pickup reminder to a user in a non-target delivery room, it is easy to cause problems such as misplacing and disturbing other users. Therefore, the working mode of the target notification bell can be further controlled according to the verification result. For example, when the verification fails, the target notification bell is controlled to stop issuing pickup reminders.

[0049] The technical solution of the above implementation mode sends a stop reminder instruction to the target notification bell according to the verification result, so that the target notification bell stops the pickup reminder. This avoids the target notification bell reminding users in other rooms to pick up items, resulting in delivery failure, and causing unnecessary disturbance to users in non-target delivery rooms.

[0050] Optionally, the notification bell can share information with the robot in advance, and send the standard positioning information of each notification bell and its own identification information to a master control device for distribution work (for example, it can be a master control robot or a master control server). This master control device can share information with other robots through wired or wireless connection, and send the standard positioning information and identification information of each notification bell to all robots to carry out subsequent distribution work. It is also possible to interact with each notification bell through the background server, and share the standard positioning information and identification information of the notification bell with all robots used for distribution work through the background server. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the way in which the robot obtains the standard positioning information and identification information of each notification bell. Preferably, before the notification bell is used, after a robot is bound to multiple notification bells, the configuration resources, such as the MAC address and ID of the bound notification bell, can be pushed to other robots, and the binding between other robots and the notification bell can be quickly completed without adding additional equipment. The prompt tone, light color, and intensity of the notification bell can be configured through the robot end, and then the configuration parameters are sent to the bound notification bell for subsequent use.

[0051] In an optional embodiment, the control of sending a stop reminder instruction to a target notification bell according to the verification result may include: if the verification result is failed, sending a stop reminder instruction to the target notification bell; if the verification result is passed, after the item to be delivered is taken out, triggering the execution of sending a pick-up completion instruction to the target notification bell.

[0052] Among them, the pick-up completion instruction is a signal sent by the robot to the target notification bell, which is used to indicate that the item has been taken away by the user and the delivery is completed. Specifically, when the verification fails (indicating that the target notification bell is not deployed to the target delivery room), the robot sends a stop reminder instruction to the target notification bell, so that the target notification bell stops reminding users in non-target delivery rooms to pick up items; when the verification succeeds, the robot can send a pick-up completion instruction to the target notification bell after the item to be delivered is taken out, and this instruction can control the target notification bell to stop reminding. When the robot identifies whether the item to be delivered has been taken out, it can use any recognition method in the prior art, such as machine vision method, proximity sensor recognition, infrared sensor recognition, etc., which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0053] The technical solution of the above implementation mode controls the target notification bell to directly stop the pickup reminder, or stops the pickup reminder after the user picks up the item, according to whether the verification result is passed or not. The advantage of this is that it can flexibly remind the user to pick up the item according to different actual situations. If the verification fails, the reminder is stopped to avoid disturbing users in non-target delivery rooms. If the verification is successful, the reminder is automatically stopped after the user picks up the item, and the user does not need to manually stop the reminder, which saves the user's time and improves the user experience.

[0054] In an optional embodiment, if the current positioning information sent by the target notification bell is not received within the first preset time period after the arrival instruction is sent, an error deployment record of the target notification bell is generated, and / or a backup reminder method is used to remind users in the target delivery room to pick up items.

[0055] The first preset time period may be a waiting time for response, i.e., the time for waiting for the target notification bell to feedback information after the robot sends an arrival instruction to the target notification bell. The first preset time period may be manually set, such as 60 seconds. Specifically, when the robot broadcasts an arrival instruction outside the target delivery room, if there is no notification bell response within the first preset time period, and no current positioning information is fed back, it proves that the target notification bell is deployed incorrectly and exceeds the current broadcast range. Therefore, the incorrect deployment of the target notification bell can be recorded; at the same time, the user in the target delivery room can be reminded to pick up items through a backup reminder method.

[0056] The technical solution of the above implementation mode records the wrong deployment information and controls the use of other methods to remind users to pick up items according to whether the notification bell responds to the robot's arrival instruction within the preset time. The information of the wrong deployment is recorded to facilitate the subsequent staff to redeploy the target notification bell. Using other methods to remind users to pick up items can avoid the failure to notify users in the target delivery room due to the wrong deployment of the target notification bell, thereby improving the fault tolerance rate of delivery and the work efficiency of the robot.

[0057] In an optional implementation, after sending the pickup completion instruction to the target notification bell, the method may also include: receiving a reminder termination message sent by the target notification bell; and controlling the robot to leave the target delivery room in response to the reminder termination message.

[0058] The reminder termination information may be information sent by the target notification bell to the robot, indicating that the pickup reminder has been terminated, the delivery is completed, and the robot can leave the current target delivery room. Specifically, when the pickup reminder of the target notification bell is stopped, the target notification bell may send a reminder termination information to the robot to inform the robot that the delivery process is over and the robot can leave. At this time, the robot receives the reminder termination information and leaves the current target delivery room.

[0059] The technical solution of the above implementation mode enables the robot to complete the delivery by reminding the confirmation of the termination information, without the need for the user to manually confirm the receipt of the goods, thus saving the waiting time of the robot and improving the delivery efficiency of the robot. At the same time, it avoids the situation where the target notification bell fails to successfully receive the completion instruction of the pickup and the target notification bell continues to remind after the robot leaves, thus preventing the user from being disturbed by the target notification bell after the robot leaves.

[0060] S230: Receive a mute message sent by a target notification ring.

[0061] The mute information may be information sent by the target notification bell to the robot, indicating that the target notification bell has been muted (i.e., the pickup reminder is paused), to remind the user in the robot room that the pickup operation is temporarily unavailable. The operation to trigger the mute information may be that the user manually pauses the pickup reminder through the button or touch screen of the target notification bell, or the preset voice recognition function in the target notification bell may recognize the user's voice command to pause the pickup reminder, and control the target notification bell to stop the pickup reminder. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the operation to trigger the mute information.

[0062] S240: After a preset silence time, resend the arrival instruction to the target notification ring.

[0063] The preset mute time can be the time when the target notification bell suspends the pickup reminder after the user triggers the mute operation, for example, it can be set to 1 minute. After the user triggers the mute operation, the target notification bell will stop the pickup reminder and send a mute message to the robot. After receiving the mute message, the robot can wait for a preset mute time and send an arrival command to the target notification bell again to trigger the target notification bell to remind the user in the room to pick up the item again.

[0064] In an optional embodiment, if the item to be delivered is not taken out within a second preset time period after the arrival instruction is sent, a stop reminder instruction is sent to the target notification bell to stop the target notification bell from giving a pick-up reminder; and a backup reminder method is used to give a pick-up reminder to the user in the target delivery room.

[0065] The second preset time period may be the time to be picked up, which is counted when the target notification bell starts to remind the user to pick up the item. The second preset time period may be manually set, for example, it may be 180 seconds. When the target notification bell starts to remind the user to pick up the item, the robot may identify the item to be delivered in real time or at a fixed time within the second preset time period, and wait for the user to pick it up. If it is identified that the item to be delivered has not been taken away within the second preset time period, it means that the target notification bell cannot notify the user in the target delivery room at this time. Therefore, the pickup reminder of the target notification bell is stopped, and the user in the target delivery room is reminded to pick up the item in a backup reminder mode.

[0066] The technical solution of the above implementation mode is to judge that the target notification bell cannot notify the user in the room if no one picks up the item within the second preset time period, and then use other methods to remind the user to pick up the item. The advantage of this is that it can deal with the situation where no one is in the room or the user does not respond for a long time, and flexibly notify the user, so that the robot does not need to wait too long, saving delivery time and improving delivery efficiency.

[0067] S250: After the item to be delivered is taken out, a pickup completion instruction is sent to a target notification bell, so that the target notification bell stops providing pickup reminders.

[0068] The technical solution of the embodiment of the present application provides users with a silent operation, and after reaching a preset silent time, the user can be reminded to pick up the item again. The addition of the silent operation provides users with the possibility of extending the time for picking up the item, which is convenient for users to handle other things during the silent process, thereby improving the user's experience.

[0069] Embodiment 3

[0070] Figure 3 This is a flow chart of a delivery notification method provided in Example 3 of the present application. The present application embodiment can be applied to reminding users in a room to go out to pick up items. The method can be executed by a delivery notification device, which can be implemented in software and / or hardware and specifically configured in a notification bell. It should be noted that for the parts not described in detail in the present application embodiment, please refer to the relevant descriptions of the aforementioned embodiments.

[0071] refer to Figure 3 A delivery notification method shown is applied to a notification bell and specifically includes the following steps:

[0072] S310, receiving an arrival instruction sent by the robot when it is in the area to which the target delivery room belongs.

[0073] Among them, the robot may be a robot for delivering items, including but not limited to a food delivery robot, a logistics robot, etc. The target delivery room may be a room where the items to be delivered need to be delivered to the target user. The area to which the target delivery room belongs may be a preset location or geographical location range near the target delivery room, for example, it may be one meter outside the door of the target delivery room. The arrival instruction may be a signal sent by the robot to indicate that the robot has delivered the items to be delivered to the area to which the target delivery room belongs, and is waiting for the user in the room to go out and pick up the items. Specifically, after the robot arrives outside the door of the target delivery room, the target notification bell may receive the arrival instruction sent by the robot.

[0074] S320: In response to the arrival instruction, a pickup reminder is issued.

[0075] After receiving the arrival instruction of the robot in the aforementioned step, the user in the target delivery room is reminded to pick up the item, so as to urge the user to pick up the item as soon as possible.

[0076] S330: receiving an item-picking completion instruction sent by the robot after the item to be delivered is taken out.

[0077] The pick-up completion instruction may be a signal sent to the target notification bell after the robot detects that the item to be delivered has been taken out, indicating that the item has been delivered, and the purpose is to inform the target notification bell that there is no need to continue the pick-up reminder. Specifically, after the robot recognizes that the item to be delivered has been taken out, the target notification bell may receive the pick-up completion instruction sent by the robot.

[0078] S340: In response to the object-pickup completion instruction, stop the object-pickup reminder.

[0079] After receiving the robot's object-picking completion instruction in the aforementioned step, the object-picking reminder to the user is stopped.

[0080] The technical solution of the embodiment of the present application, through the interaction between the target notification bell and the robot, receives the robot's control signal to remind the user in the room to pick up the item. The above technical solution solves the problem in the prior art that the user cannot detect that the robot has been delivered to the location due to various factors, and achieves the technical effect of timely notifying the user to go out to pick up the item, thereby greatly saving the robot's waiting time and improving the robot's delivery efficiency. At the same time, after the user picks up the item, the target notification bell stops reminding according to the robot's completion instruction, and the user does not need to cancel the reminder operation, which facilitates the user's usage mode and improves the user's usage experience.

[0081] Embodiment 4

[0082] Figure 4 This is a flow chart of a delivery notification method provided in Embodiment 4 of the present application. Based on the technical solutions of the above embodiments, the embodiment of the present application supplements the verification operation of the deployment position to verify whether the target notification bell is deployed correctly.

[0083] refer to Figure 4 A delivery notification method shown includes the following steps:

[0084] S410, receiving an arrival instruction sent when the robot is in the area to which the target delivery room belongs;

[0085] S420, in response to the arrival instruction, providing a pickup reminder;

[0086] S430. Send the current positioning information of the robot to the robot, so that the robot can verify the deployment position according to the current positioning information and the standard positioning information of the target notification bell of the target delivery room.

[0087] Among them, the current positioning information can be information used to determine the current location of the target notification bell, for example, it can be the room location information of the current room where the target notification bell is deployed. For example, if the target notification bell is currently installed in room A, the current positioning information is room A. The standard positioning information can be the location information of the room where the target notification bell should be installed. For example, if the target notification bell should be installed in room B, the standard positioning information of the target notification bell is room B. Therefore, it should be understood that no matter which room the target notification bell is in at this time, the standard positioning information of the target notification bell can only be room B. The deployment location verification can be a verification of the room where the target notification bell is installed, which is used to identify whether the target notification bell bound to the room information is correctly installed in the room.

[0088] Specifically, the target notification bell sends its current positioning information to the robot, so that the robot can verify the current positioning information with the standard positioning information to verify whether the deployment of the target notification bell is correct.

[0089] In an optional implementation, the delivery notification method may further include: receiving a stop reminder instruction sent when the robot fails verification; and stopping the pickup reminder in response to the stop reminder instruction.

[0090] When the robot fails to verify the deployment position, the target notification bell will receive the stop reminder message sent by the robot and stop reminding users in the target delivery room to pick up items.

[0091] In the technical solution of the above implementation, the target notification bell cancels the reminder to the user to pick up the item according to the verification failure result. The advantage of this is that the target notification bell is avoided to remind users in other rooms to pick up items, resulting in delivery failure, causing unnecessary disturbance to users in non-target delivery rooms.

[0092] S440, receiving an object-taking completion instruction sent by the robot after the object to be delivered is taken out;

[0093] S450: In response to the object-pickup completion instruction, stop the object-pickup reminder.

[0094] In the technical solution of the embodiment of the present application, the target notification bell sends the current location information to the robot for verification of the deployment location. The advantage of this is that it can promptly detect the installation error of the target notification bell, so that the deployment status can be checked and corrected in time, and it is also convenient to use other methods to remind the target user to pick up the object.

[0095] In an optional embodiment, the delivery notification method may further include: in response to a user's silent operation, stopping the pickup reminder; sending a silent message to the robot so that the robot re-sends the arrival instruction after a preset silent time interval.

[0096] The user can select the silent mode by pressing a preset key or touching the notification bell. After receiving the user's silent operation information, the target notification bell will suspend the user's pickup reminder and send a silent message to the robot to inform the robot that the user is busy and needs to wait for the item to be picked up. The robot will wait for the preset silent time, and when the silent time is over, it will resend the arrival instruction to the target notification bell to re-trigger the target notification bell to remind the user to pick up the item.

[0097] The technical solution of the above implementation provides users with a silent operation, and after the preset silent time is reached, the user can be reminded to pick up the item again. The addition of the silent operation provides users with the possibility of extending the time for picking up the item, which is convenient for users to handle other things during the silent process, thereby improving the user experience.

[0098] In an optional implementation, the arrival instruction includes identification information of a target notification bell;

[0099] Correspondingly, in response to the arrival instruction, issuing a reminder to pick up the item may include: matching the own identification information with the identification information in the arrival instruction; if the match is successful, issuing a reminder to pick up the item in response to the arrival instruction.

[0100] Specifically, after the target notification bell obtains the arrival instruction with identification information issued by the robot in the broadcast, it compares its own identification information with the identification information issued by the robot; if the identification information is consistent, it means that the robot needs to control the target notification bell to work, and the target notification bell reminds the user in the target delivery room to pick up the item.

[0101] In the technical solution of the above-mentioned implementation mode, the target notification bell performs self-matching according to the identification information released by the robot in the broadcast, and quickly determines the target notification bell in the target delivery room, thereby improving the accuracy and efficiency of the delivery notification.

[0102] In an optional embodiment, the delivery notification method may further include: receiving a stop reminder instruction sent by the robot when the item to be delivered is not taken out within a second preset time period after sending the arrival instruction; and stopping the pickup reminder in response to the stop reminder instruction.

[0103] Among them, the second preset time period can be the time to wait for the object to be picked up, and the timing is started when the target notification ring starts to remind the object to be picked up. The second preset time period can be set manually, for example, it can be 180 seconds.

[0104] After re-reminding the user of the target delivery room to pick up the items, the target notification bell detects the information sent by the robot in real time. If the user fails to pick up the items to be delivered due to various factors, the robot sends a stop reminder message to the target notification bell after waiting for a preset time. At this time, the target notification bell stops reminding the users in the target delivery room to pick up the items.

[0105] According to the technical solution of the above implementation mode, if no user performs the object-picking operation after the robot waits for the second preset time and the user is not reminded, the target notification bell can automatically stop the object-picking reminder to prevent waste of power resources.

[0106] In an optional implementation, after the picking-up completion instruction is responded to and the picking-up reminder is stopped, the method may further include: sending a reminder termination message to the robot, so that the robot controls itself to drive away from the target delivery room in response to the reminder termination message.

[0107] The reminder termination information may be information sent by the target notification bell to the robot, indicating that the pickup reminder has been terminated, the delivery is completed, and the robot can leave the current target delivery room. Specifically, after the target notification bell stops the pickup reminder, the reminder termination information is sent to the robot, and the robot determines that the delivery task is completed based on this information and leaves the target delivery room.

[0108] The technical solution of the above implementation mode enables the robot to complete the delivery by reminding the user to confirm the termination information, without the need for the user to manually confirm the receipt of the goods, thus saving the robot's waiting time and improving the robot's delivery efficiency.
