No specific limitation is made here. The unmanned delivery vehicle 103 can be an unmanned delivery vehicle based on automatic driving with the function of loading and transporting goods.

[0033] The user terminal 101 can receive unmanned delivery vehicle operation information, which includes the operating shift information of at least one unmanned delivery vehicle, receive target delivery information determined based on the unmanned delivery vehicle operation information, which includes the delivery site and delivery time of the target items, and send the target delivery information to the delivery terminal, so that the delivery terminal generates indication information for indicating the delivery of the target items based on the unmanned delivery vehicle operation information and the target delivery information.

[0034] It should be noted that the distribution method provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure can be executed by the user terminal 101 , and accordingly, the distribution device can be set in the distribution terminal 101 .

[0035] It should be understood that Figure 1 The number of user terminals, delivery terminals, unmanned delivery vehicles, and networks in the embodiment is only for illustration. Any number of user terminals, delivery terminals, unmanned delivery vehicles, and networks may be provided as required.

[0036] Continue to refer Figure 2 , shows a process 200 of an embodiment of a distribution method according to the present disclosure, applied to a user end, comprising the following steps:

[0037] Step 201: Receive unmanned delivery vehicle operation information, where the unmanned delivery vehicle operation information includes operation shift information of at least one unmanned delivery vehicle.

[0038] In this embodiment, the execution subject of the distribution method (for example Figure 1The user terminal 101 shown in the figure can receive unmanned delivery vehicle operation information, wherein the unmanned delivery vehicle operation information refers to the operation shift information of each unmanned delivery vehicle among at least one unmanned delivery vehicle used to perform the item delivery task, including but not limited to the driving route of the unmanned delivery vehicle, the arrival time of the unmanned delivery vehicle at each stop point in the driving route, the departure time from each stop point, and the services supported by the unmanned delivery vehicle (it can support cold chain transportation services, catering insulation transportation services, cash on delivery services, etc.).

[0039] Step 202, receiving target delivery information determined based on the unmanned delivery vehicle operation information, the target delivery information including the delivery site and delivery time of the target item.

[0040] In this embodiment, the user terminal can receive target delivery information determined based on the operation information of the unmanned delivery vehicle. The target delivery information can be a stop point selected by the user from the operation information of the unmanned delivery vehicle (such as selecting a stop point as a pickup point), or it can be an operation information determined by the user terminal based on the user's commonly used information / last selected information.

[0041] Step 203, sending the target delivery information to the delivery end, wherein the delivery end generates indication information for indicating the delivery target items based on the unmanned delivery vehicle operation information and the target delivery information.

[0042] In this embodiment, the user's target delivery information is sent to the delivery end, so that the delivery end generates indication information for indicating the delivery target items based on the unmanned delivery vehicle operation information and the target delivery information. Among them, the delivery end generates indication information for indicating the delivery target items based on the unmanned delivery vehicle operation information and the target delivery information, specifically including: determining at least one candidate unmanned delivery vehicle from multiple unmanned delivery vehicles according to the pickup location, wherein the stop points of the candidate unmanned delivery vehicles include the pickup location; for each candidate unmanned delivery vehicle in at least one candidate unmanned delivery vehicle, according to the time when the candidate unmanned delivery vehicle arrives at the pickup location and the stop time of the candidate unmanned delivery vehicle at the pickup location, determine the stop time period of the candidate unmanned delivery vehicle at the pickup location; determine the target unmanned delivery vehicle from at least one candidate unmanned delivery vehicle according to the pickup time, wherein the stop time period of the target unmanned delivery vehicle at the pickup location includes the pickup time; generate indication information for indicating that the target items are loaded on the target unmanned delivery vehicle.

[0043] The delivery method provided in this embodiment receives operation information of an unmanned delivery vehicle; receives target delivery information determined based on the operation information of the unmanned delivery vehicle; and sends the target delivery information to a delivery end, wherein the delivery end generates indication information for indicating the target delivery item based on the operation information of the unmanned delivery vehicle and the target delivery information, and can perform unmanned delivery based on the target delivery information indicated by the user, thereby improving the flexibility of application of the delivery method. Moreover, compared with the existing delivery method in which the user passively receives the delivery after the unmanned delivery vehicle delivers the item to the delivery address and then sends a prompt message to the user to prompt the user to pick up the goods, the unmanned delivery based on the user's target delivery information can enable the user to actively initiate delivery, thereby improving the delivery success rate and efficiency.

[0044] Optionally, receiving target delivery information determined based on the unmanned delivery vehicle operation information includes: presenting the unmanned delivery vehicle operation information; and receiving target delivery information determined by the user based on the unmanned delivery vehicle operation information.

[0045] In this embodiment, after receiving the unmanned delivery vehicle operation information, the user terminal can present the unmanned delivery vehicle operation information thereon and receive the information selected by the user as target delivery information.

[0046] For example, the unmanned delivery vehicle operation information includes: the time when unmanned delivery vehicle No. 001 arrives at location A is 10:00, the time when it arrives at location B is 10:30, and the stop time at each stop is 30 minutes; the time when unmanned delivery vehicle No. 002 arrives at location A is 11:00, the time when it arrives at location C is 12:00, and the time when it arrives at location B is 13:00, and the stop time at each stop is 30 minutes. If the user intends to pick up the goods at location B at 13:20, the user will choose to determine location B and 13:00 as the target delivery information.

[0047] Continue to refer Figure 3 , shows a process 300 of another embodiment of the distribution method according to the present disclosure, applied to a user end, comprising the following steps:

[0048] Step 301: Receive unmanned delivery vehicle operation information, where the unmanned delivery vehicle operation information includes operation shift information of at least one unmanned delivery vehicle.

[0049] Step 302, receiving target delivery information determined based on the operation information of the unmanned delivery vehicle, the target delivery information including the delivery site and delivery time of the target item.

[0050] Step 303, sending the target delivery information to the delivery end, wherein the delivery end generates indication information for indicating the delivery target items based on the unmanned delivery vehicle operation information and the target delivery information.

[0051] The description of step 301, step 302, and step 303 in this embodiment is consistent with the description of step 201, step 202, and step 203, and will not be repeated here.

[0052] Step 304, receiving the pickup information corresponding to the target item generated by the delivery end.

[0053] In this embodiment, after the delivery end generates indication information for indicating the delivery target item based on the unmanned delivery vehicle operation information and the target delivery information, it can generate pickup information corresponding to the target item and send the pickup information to the user end so that the user end receives the pickup information. The pickup information is used to enable the unmanned delivery vehicle that delivers the target item to verify whether the user has the pickup authority when the user picks up the goods.

[0054] The delivery method provided in this embodiment is compared with Figure 2 The described embodiment adds a step in which the user terminal receives pickup information corresponding to the target item generated by the delivery terminal, so that the user can extract the target item based on the pickup information, thereby improving the safety of the delivered items.

[0055] Continue to refer Figure 4 , shows a process 400 of an embodiment of a distribution method according to the present disclosure, applied to a distribution end, comprising the following steps:

[0056] Step 401, receiving target delivery information determined by a user, the target delivery information including the delivery site and delivery time of the target item.

[0057] In this embodiment, the execution subject of the distribution method (for example Figure 1 The delivery terminal 102 shown can receive target delivery information determined by the user.

[0058] Step 402: Generate instruction information for indicating the delivery target item based on the unmanned delivery vehicle operation information and the target delivery information. The target delivery information includes the delivery site and delivery time of the target item.

[0059] In this embodiment, the delivery end can generate instruction information for indicating the delivery target items based on the unmanned delivery vehicle operation information and the target delivery information. The instruction information is used to instruct the delivery personnel or delivery device to load the target items onto the unmanned delivery vehicle at a time or place that matches the unmanned delivery vehicle operation information and the target delivery information, so that the unmanned delivery vehicle can deliver the target items.

[0060] For example, the unmanned delivery vehicle operation information includes: the time when unmanned delivery vehicle No. 001 arrives at location A is 10:00, the time when it arrives at location B is 10:30, and the time when it arrives at location C is 13:00, and the stop time at each stop is 30 minutes; the time when unmanned delivery vehicle No. 002 arrives at location A is 11:00, the time when it arrives at location C is 12:00, and the time when it arrives at location B is 13:00, and the stop time at each stop is 30 minutes. The user determines location B and 13:00 as the target delivery information, and the storage station (distribution station) of the target item is location A. Then, the instruction information can be information for instructing the delivery personnel or delivery device to load the target item on unmanned delivery vehicle No. 001 at 10:00. So that the unmanned delivery vehicle loaded with the target item stops at location B at 13:20.

[0061] Step 403: Generate pickup information corresponding to the target item and send the pickup information to the user terminal.

[0062] In this embodiment, the delivery end can generate pickup information corresponding to the target item and send the pickup information to the user end so that the user end receives the pickup information. The pickup information is used to enable the unmanned delivery vehicle that delivers the target item to verify whether the user has the pickup authority when the user picks up the item.

[0063] The delivery method provided in this embodiment receives the target delivery information determined by the user; generates indication information for indicating the delivery target item based on the unmanned delivery vehicle operation information and the target delivery information; generates pickup information corresponding to the target item, and sends the pickup information to the user. Unmanned delivery can be performed based on the user's target delivery information, which improves the flexibility of the delivery method application. Moreover, compared with the existing unmanned delivery vehicle that sends a prompt message to the user to prompt the user to pick up the item after delivering the item to the delivery address, in which the user passively receives the delivery, unmanned delivery based on the user's target delivery information can enable the user to actively initiate the delivery, thereby improving the delivery success rate.

[0064] Optionally, the unmanned delivery vehicle operation information includes: the time when each unmanned delivery vehicle arrives at each stop point in the driving route, and the length of time the unmanned delivery vehicle stops at each stop point; the target delivery information includes: the pick-up time and pick-up location for picking up the target item determined by the user; based on the unmanned delivery vehicle operation information and the target delivery information, indication information for indicating the delivery of the target item is generated, including: determining at least one candidate unmanned delivery vehicle from multiple unmanned delivery vehicles according to the pick-up location, wherein the stop points of the candidate unmanned delivery vehicles include the pick-up location; for each candidate unmanned delivery vehicle among the at least one candidate unmanned delivery vehicle, determining the stop time period of the candidate unmanned delivery vehicle at the pick-up location according to the time when the candidate unmanned delivery vehicle arrives at the pick-up location and the length of time the candidate unmanned delivery vehicle stops at the pick-up location; determining a target unmanned delivery vehicle from at least one candidate unmanned delivery vehicle according to the pick-up time, wherein the stop time period of the target unmanned delivery vehicle at the pick-up location includes the pick-up time; generating indication information for indicating that the target item is loaded on the target unmanned delivery vehicle.

[0065] In this embodiment, the unmanned delivery vehicle operation information includes: the time when each unmanned delivery vehicle arrives at each stop point in the driving route, and the length of time it stops at each stop point after arriving at each stop point; the target delivery information includes: the pickup time and pickup location for the target item determined by the user. When generating the instruction information, first, at least one candidate unmanned delivery vehicle can be determined from multiple unmanned delivery vehicles based on the pickup location for the target item determined by the user, and the determined candidate unmanned delivery vehicle's stop points include the pickup location. Among them, the stop points of multiple unmanned delivery vehicles all include the stop point where the delivery terminal is located.

[0066] Secondly, for each candidate unmanned delivery vehicle among at least one candidate unmanned delivery vehicle, the stop time period of the candidate unmanned delivery vehicle at the pickup location is determined according to the arrival time of the candidate unmanned delivery vehicle at the pickup location and the stop time of the candidate unmanned delivery vehicle at the pickup location. Specifically, the arrival time of the candidate unmanned delivery vehicle at a certain stop point is taken as the starting time, and the time obtained by adding the arrival time of the candidate unmanned delivery vehicle at the certain stop point plus the corresponding stop time is taken as the end time, and the time period between the above start time and the above end time is determined as the stop time period of the candidate unmanned delivery vehicle at the certain stop point.

[0067] Afterwards, according to the pickup time for picking up the target item determined by the user, a target unmanned delivery vehicle is determined from at least one candidate unmanned delivery vehicle, and the time period during which the determined target unmanned delivery vehicle stops at the pickup location includes the pickup time.

[0068] Finally, instruction information for instructing to load the target item onto the target unmanned delivery vehicle is generated to instruct the delivery personnel or delivery device to load the target item onto the target unmanned delivery vehicle when the target unmanned delivery vehicle stops at the stop point where the delivery station is located, so that the user can pick up the target item from the target unmanned delivery vehicle at the pickup time and pickup location determined by the user. The delivery station can be a logistics transportation distribution station near the user's delivery address, or it can be a supermarket, a decentralized storage warehouse, and other sites.

[0069] In some application scenarios, such as Figure 5 As shown, delivery methods include:

[0070] In the first step, the unmanned delivery vehicle operation management platform receives the configuration of the unmanned delivery vehicle operation information. The unmanned delivery vehicle operation information may include the following information: the operation route of each operation shift, the stop points in each operation route, the attributes of each stop point (such as distribution station, user pickup point, etc.), the operation timetable of each shift, and the operation shift of each unmanned delivery vehicle and other information related to shuttle bus operation.

[0071] Afterwards, the unmanned delivery vehicle operation management platform will send the configured unmanned delivery vehicle operation information to the user end.

[0072] In the second step, the user can determine the target delivery information based on the user terminal, including selecting the pickup time and pickup location for the intended target item from the operation information of the unmanned delivery vehicle; or after the user enters the time and location for the intended pickup of the target item based on the user terminal, the user terminal obtains the closest time and location matched in the operation information as the pickup time and pickup location.

[0073] Afterwards, the user terminal sends the target delivery information including the pickup time and pickup location to the delivery terminal.

[0074] In the third step, after receiving the target delivery information, the delivery end generates instruction information / delivery information for instructing the user's target items to be loaded on the target unmanned delivery vehicle based on the unmanned delivery vehicle operation information and the target delivery information, so as to instruct the delivery personnel or delivery equipment to load the target items when the unmanned delivery vehicle arrives at the stop point where the delivery station is located. After completing the loading of the target items, the delivery end can generate corresponding pickup information and send the pickup information (such as a pickup code) to the user end.

[0075] In the fourth step, when the target unmanned delivery vehicle arrives at the pickup location, the user can arrive at the pickup location at the pickup time and take out the target item from the target unmanned delivery vehicle based on the pickup information.

[0076] Afterwards, the target unmanned delivery vehicle can send information indicating the completion of delivery to the unmanned delivery vehicle operation management platform / user end / delivery end.
