[0067] <<1. Overview of information processing system according to an embodiment of the present invention>>

[0068] First, an overview of an information processing system that can improve the efficiency of delivery of goods in an embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0069] Figure 1 FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram of the information processing system of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown in FIG. 1 , the information processing system of the present invention comprises a delivery person terminal 10, a service provider terminal 20, a server 30 and a network 50. Figure 1 As shown, the delivery person terminal 10 , the service provider terminal 20 , and the server 30 are configured to be able to communicate via a network 50 .

[0070] The deliveryman terminal 10 is an information processing terminal used by a deliveryman who delivers (delivers and collects) goods. The deliveryman terminal 10 receives information related to the goods that the deliveryman who uses the deliveryman terminal 10 is responsible for delivering from the server 30.

[0071] In the delivery of goods that the delivery person is responsible for delivering, the delivery means sometimes include a means of using a mobile body that transports passengers and goods in a mixed manner, that is, a mixed passenger and cargo mobile body. In such a case, the labor involved in the delivery performed by the mixed passenger and cargo mobile body can also be provided by a service provider who contracts the labor in the form of a single job. Such a service provider is generally also called a so-called part-time worker. The delivery person terminal 10 sends a notification requesting the setting of the service provider, that is, a service provider setting request, to the server 30. In addition, the delivery person terminal 10 receives setting information related to the setting of the service provider from the server 30.

[0072] The deliveryman terminal 10 also receives instruction information that instructs the deliveryman to handle the cargo from the server 30. The instruction information is, for example, information instructing the deliveryman to board the cargo-passenger mixed vehicle together with the cargo, or information instructing to unload the cargo from the cargo-passenger mixed vehicle.

[0073] The service provider terminal 20 is an information processing terminal used by a service provider candidate or a service provider. The service provider terminal 20 receives a recruitment notice from a service provider responsible for the service related to the cargo delivery by a passenger and cargo transport vehicle. The service provider candidate can view the recruitment notice by operating the service provider terminal 20.

[0074] Furthermore, the candidate service provider can accept (apply for) the above recruitment by operating the service provider terminal 20. When the candidate service provider performs the operation of accepting the recruitment in the service provider terminal 20, the service provider terminal 20 notifies the server 30 that the candidate service provider has accepted the recruitment.

[0075] The delivery person terminal 10 and the service provider terminal 20 are information processing terminals such as PC (Personal Computer), tablet terminal, smart phone, mobile phone, PHS (Personal Handy-phone System) or PDA (Personal Digital Assistant). Figure 1 In the example shown, the delivery person terminal 10 is a PC, the service provider terminal 20A is a tablet terminal, and the service provider terminal 20B is a smartphone.

[0076] The server 30 is an example of an information processing device, which notifies the service provider terminal 20 of the recruitment of service providers responsible for the services related to the delivery by the passenger-carrying and cargo-carrying moving body, when the means of cargo delivery by the delivery person includes means of using the passenger-carrying and cargo-carrying moving body. For example, the server 30 may be a general-purpose computer such as a workstation or a PC, or may be a cloud server.

[0077] When receiving the service provider setting request from the delivery person terminal 10, the server 30 sends a recruitment notice of service providers to the service provider terminal 20. The server 30 can generate a recruitment notice of multiple service providers according to the service provider setting request. The recruitment notice of service providers will be described in detail later.

[0078] In addition, the server 30 can generate a recruitment notice for a service provider based on a delivery plan involved in the delivery of goods. The delivery plan includes, for example, information such as the delivery means and delivery route of the goods. In addition, the server 30 can also determine the delivery interval involved in the delivery of goods by the delivery personnel or unmanned mobile body based on the delivery plan. In addition, in this specification, the delivery interval means each time period divided into a specified length of time during which goods can be delivered by various delivery means such as delivery personnel or unmanned mobile bodies. When the delivery interval involved in the delivery of goods is determined, the goods are delivered by each delivery means in the time period corresponding to the delivery interval.

[0079] In addition, the server 30 sets the candidate for service provider as a service provider based on the fact that the candidate for service provider has accepted the recruitment of the service provider. In addition, the server 30 notifies the delivery person terminal 10 of the setting information of the service provider.

[0080] Furthermore, the server 30 generates instruction information, which is information for instructing the delivery person to handle the goods, based on whether the service provider candidate has accepted the recruitment of the service provider. Then, the server 30 notifies the delivery person terminal 10 of the generated instruction information.

[0081] The network 50 is a wired or wireless transmission path for information sent from devices connected to the network 50. For example, the network 50 may include a public line network such as the Internet, a telephone line network, a satellite communication network, or various LANs (Local Area Networks) including Ethernet (registered trademark), WANs (Wide Area Networks), etc. In addition, the network 50 may also include a dedicated line network such as an IP-VPN (Internet Protocol-Virtual Private Network).

[0082] Figure 2FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of cargo delivery in the information processing system of the present invention. Figure 2 , an example is shown in which goods L requested by a client R who requests delivery of goods L is delivered by a delivery person D and a service provider S.

[0083] The server 30 notifies the service provider terminal 20 of the recruitment of service providers who are responsible for the services related to the delivery by the passenger and cargo mixed moving body M2. Figure 2 In the example shown, the server 30 notifies the service provider terminal 20 of the recruitment of a service provider who is responsible for temporarily receiving the cargo L from the deliveryman D in the passenger-cargo moving body M2 and delivering the cargo L to the client R.

[0084] The server 30 sets the candidate labor provider as the labor provider S based on the fact that the candidate labor provider using the labor provider terminal 20 has accepted the recruitment of labor providers.

[0085] The deliveryman D delivers the goods L to the departure point DP of the mixed passenger and cargo moving body M2 via the moving body M1. Then, the deliveryman D takes the mixed passenger and cargo moving body M2 together with the goods L at the departure point DP, and delivers the goods L to the arrival point AP of the mixed passenger and cargo moving body M2. The service provider S temporarily collects the goods L from the deliveryman D in the mixed passenger and cargo moving body M2 at the arrival point AP of the mixed passenger and cargo moving body M2, and delivers the goods L to the client R at the delivery point MP with the client R. At this time, the deliveryman D can deliver other goods to different clients R at other arrival points while remaining in the mixed passenger and cargo moving body M2, or can get off the mixed passenger and cargo moving body M2 at the arrival point AP or other arrival points to carry out the next delivery of goods.

[0086] The delivery point MP may be any location, for example, a marked location such as a bus stop, a station such as a train station (including a bus stop), a building, or a parking lot.

[0087] The mobile body M1 is a mobile body used as a delivery means by the delivery person D. For example, the mobile body M1 may be a manned mobile body such as a vehicle moving on land, an aircraft flying in the air, or a ship moving on water such as a sea or a river.

[0088] In addition, Figure 2, an example is shown in which a delivery person D delivers goods L to a departure point DP of a passenger-carrying and cargo-carrying moving body M2 by a moving body M1, but the means of delivering goods L is not limited to this. For example, the moving body M1 as a means of delivering goods L may also be an unmanned moving body that is capable of delivering goods independently of a delivery person D, and moves by autonomous control using input information related to positions of two locations such as a starting point (e.g., a delivery start position of goods L, a movement start position of an unmanned moving body) and an end point (e.g., a collection position of goods L), or positions of three or more locations including a relay location (e.g., a collection position of goods L in the case of delivery accompanied by collection of goods L), and a return location (e.g., the same location as the movement start position of an unmanned moving body, or a different standby location, etc.).

[0089] In addition, the mobile body M1 may be an unmanned mobile body that moves by remote control using operation information input by a manager who manages the unmanned mobile body. The unmanned mobile body may be, for example, a drone that moves by autonomous control, a UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) that moves by remote control of a manager, a UGV (Unmanned Ground Vehicle) that moves on land, or a ship that moves on water such as sea and river. The unmanned mobile body may also be a mobile body that can move on at least two paths among land, water or air.

[0090] The mixed passenger and cargo moving body M2 is a moving body that is included in the distribution means of the cargo L and is used to transport the mixed passenger and cargo. For example, the mixed passenger and cargo moving body M2 may be a vehicle such as a bus, a tram, a taxi, or a cable car that moves on land, an aircraft that flies on air, or a ship that moves on water such as sea and river. In addition, the mixed passenger and cargo moving body M2 may be a moving body that operates on a scheduled basis.

[0091] In addition, the cargo L may be delivered by a plurality of delivery persons D and service providers S. For example, the cargo L delivered by the delivery person D to the departure point DP may be delivered by a plurality of delivery persons D and service providers S. Figure 2 The service provider S shown in the figure is different. The service provider S temporarily collects the service in the passenger and cargo mixed moving body M2 and delivers it to the arrival point AP. Figure 2The service provider S shown in the figure delivers the goods L. Alternatively, the service provider who has received the goods L in the passenger-cargo moving body M2 may get off at the arrival point AP and directly continue to deliver to the delivery destination. Also, the delivery person D may store the goods L in a cargo storage unit such as a safe deposit box provided in the passenger-cargo moving body M2 or a cargo space of the passenger-cargo moving body M2 at the departure point DP and the service provider S may take the goods out of the storage unit at the arrival point AP and deliver the goods. Alternatively, the delivery person D may deliver the goods L to the service provider S instead of the storage unit and deliver the goods to other delivery persons or other service providers.

[0092] The above is a description of the overview of the information processing system according to the embodiment of the present invention. Next, a functional configuration example of the delivery person terminal 10 will be described.

[0093] <<2. Functional Configuration Example of This Embodiment>>

[0094] <2-1. Functional Configuration Example of Delivery Person Terminal 10>

[0095] Figure 3 1 is an explanatory diagram showing the internal structure of the delivery person terminal 10. Figure 3 As shown, the delivery person terminal 10 includes a communication unit 110 , a control unit 130 , and an operation display unit 140 .

[0096] (Ministry of Communications)

[0097] The communication unit 110 is connected to the server 30 via the network 50 for communication and data transmission and reception. For example, the communication unit 110 sends a notification requesting the server 30 to set a service provider related to the delivery of the goods L, i.e., a service provider setting request. The service provider setting request may include information such as the content and time of the service that the delivery person D wants the service provider S to provide. In addition, when the goods L are delivered by a passenger and cargo mixed moving body M2 that runs on a scheduled basis, the service provider setting request may also include information specifying the type and flight (route information, departure time information, departure location information, arrival location information, etc.) of the passenger and cargo mixed moving body M2.

[0098] The communication unit 110 receives setting information about the setting of the service provider S in charge of the service related to the delivery by the passenger and cargo moving body M2 from the server 30. The delivery person terminal 10 receives instruction information for instructing the delivery person D to handle the cargo L from the server 30.

[0099] In addition, the communication unit 110 may send location information indicating the location of the delivery person terminal 10 to the server 30. The location information may be, for example, positioning information (information related to longitude, latitude, and altitude) obtained by GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System). In addition, the location information may be location information (for example, the address of the current location) input by the delivery person D into the operation display unit 140.

[0100] (Control Department)

[0101] The control unit 130 controls the overall operation of the delivery person terminal 10. For example, the control unit 130 causes the operation display unit 140 to display the setting information and instruction information received from the server 30 by the communication unit 110.

[0102] (Operation display)

[0103] The operation display unit 140 includes a function as an operation unit that is operated by the delivery person D to input instructions or information to the delivery person terminal 10 and a function as a display unit that displays various information under the control of the control unit 130 .

[0104] For example, the communication unit 110 can send a service provider setting request related to the delivery of the goods L to the server 30 based on the operation of the operation display unit 140 by the deliveryman D. In addition, the deliveryman D can select the content and time of the service that he wants the service provider S to provide included in the service provider setting request by operating the operation display unit 140. The deliveryman D can select the service that he wants the service provider S to provide, thereby improving the delivery efficiency of the deliveryman D and achieving more efficient delivery of the goods L.

[0105] The operation display unit 140 displays information such as setting information and instruction information transmitted from the server 30 to the communication unit 110 .

[0106] The function of the operation display unit 140 as an operation unit can be realized by, for example, a touch panel or a keyboard. In addition, the function of the display unit can be realized by a CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) display device, a liquid crystal display (LCD), or an OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) device. In addition, the function of the display unit and the function of the operation unit can also be configured separately.

[0107] In addition, the delivery person terminal 10 may also have Figure 3In this case, the delivery person D can also use the microphone to input various information by voice. Figure 3 In this case, the delivery person D can also confirm various information through the sound output from the speaker.

[0108] The functional configuration example of the delivery person terminal 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention has been described above. Next, the functional configuration example of the service provider terminal 20 will be described.

[0109] <2-2. Functional Configuration Example of Service Provider Terminal 20>

[0110] Figure 4 2 is an explanatory diagram showing the internal structure of the service provider terminal 20. Figure 4 As shown, the service provider terminal 20 includes a communication unit 210 , a control unit 230 , and an operation display unit 240 .

[0111] (Ministry of Communications)

[0112] The communication unit 210 is connected to the server 30 for communication via the network 50 to perform data transmission and reception. The communication unit 210 receives a recruitment notice of a service provider who is responsible for the service related to the delivery of the cargo L by the passenger-cargo mobile body M2.

[0113] Furthermore, the communication unit 210 transmits information on whether the service provider candidate has been recruited, which is input to the operation display unit 240 , to the server 30 .

[0114] Furthermore, the communication unit 210 may transmit location information indicating the location of the service provider terminal 20 to the server 30 .

[0115] In addition, the communication unit 210 may also send information related to the passenger-cargo mixed mobile body M2 that the service provider candidate has boarded or is scheduled to board to the server 30. The information related to the passenger-cargo mixed mobile body M2 may be, for example, the location where the service provider candidate has boarded or is scheduled to board the passenger-cargo mixed mobile body M2 (for example, Figure 2 The departure point DP) and departure time shown, as well as the place where you are scheduled to land (for example, Figure 2 Information such as the arrival location AP) and arrival time shown.

[0116] (Control Department)

[0117] The control unit 230 controls the overall operation of the service provider terminal 20. For example, the control unit 230 causes the operation display unit 240 to display the setting information and instruction information received from the server 30 by the communication unit 210.

[0119] The operation display unit 240 includes a function as an operation unit for the service provider candidate or the service provider S to operate to input instructions or information to the service provider terminal 20 and a function as a display unit for displaying various information under the control of the control unit 230.

[0120] For example, the service provider candidate can accept the recruitment notice of the service provider by operating the operation display unit 240. The operation of accepting the recruitment notice of the service provider can be, for example, an operation of pressing an application button displayed on the operation display unit 240. In addition, the service provider S can notify the server 30 of the start or completion of the determined service by operating the operation display unit 240.

[0121] Furthermore, the service provider candidate may input information related to the passenger-cargo mixed vehicle M2 that the service provider candidate is riding or is scheduled to ride by operating the operation display unit 240 .

[0122] In addition, the service provider candidate or the service provider S can view information related to the services being recruited or determined by operating the operation display unit 240 (for example, Figure 2 The positions of the departure point DP, arrival point AP or delivery point MP shown, as well as the time to board the passenger and cargo mixed moving body M2 or the time to get off the passenger and cargo mixed moving body M2, etc.).

[0123] The function of the operation display unit 240 as an operation unit can be realized by, for example, a touch panel or a keyboard. In addition, the function of the display unit can be realized by a CRT, a display device, a liquid crystal display (LCD), or an OLED device. In addition, the function of the display unit and the function of the operation unit can also be configured separately.

[0124] In addition, the service provider terminal 20 may also have Figure 4 In this case, the service provider candidate or the service provider S may also use the microphone to input the execution status of the service related to the delivery of the goods L. In addition, the service provider terminal 20 may further include Figure 4 In this case, the service provider candidate or the service provider S can also confirm various information through the sound output from the speaker.

[0125] The functional configuration example of the service provider terminal 20 according to the embodiment of the present invention has been described above. Next, the functional configuration example of the server 30 will be described.

[0126] <2-3. Functional Configuration Example of Server 30>

[0127] Figure 5 30 is an explanatory diagram showing the internal structure of the server 30. Figure 5 As shown, the server 30 includes a communication unit 310 , a storage unit 320 , a control unit 330 , a candidate determination unit 340 , and a notification generation unit 350 .

[0128] (Ministry of Communications)

[0129] The communication unit 310 communicates with the delivery person terminal 10 and the service provider terminal 20 via the network 50. The communication unit 310 notifies the delivery person D who uses the delivery person terminal 10 of the information by notifying the delivery person terminal 10. The communication unit 310 notifies the service provider S or the service provider candidate who uses the service provider terminal 20 of the information by notifying the service provider terminal 20 of the information.

[0130] The communication unit 310 receives a service provider setting request from the delivery person terminal 10. In addition, the communication unit 310 sends setting information related to the setting of the service provider S responsible for the service related to the delivery performed by the passenger and cargo mixed mobile body M2 to the delivery person terminal 10. The setting information includes, for example, information on whether the service provider S is set, and the content of the service that the service provider S is responsible for. In addition, the communication unit 310 sends instruction information to the delivery person terminal 10.

[0131] In addition, the communication unit 310 transmits the recruitment notification of the service provider generated by the notification generation unit 350 to the service provider terminal 20 under the control of the control unit 330. In addition, the communication unit 310 receives a notification from the service provider terminal 20 indicating whether the service provider S has accepted the recruitment of the service provider. Furthermore, the communication unit 310 may also receive from the service provider terminal 20 the location information of the service provider candidate or information related to the passenger and cargo mixed moving body M2 that the service provider candidate is riding or is scheduled to ride.

[0132] In addition, the communication unit 310 can also accept the delivery or collection of goods L (hereinafter referred to as delivery request) by communicating with the information processing terminal used by the client R or an external terminal installed in a store, etc. The delivery request can include various requirements such as the delivery range of the goods L and the collection location of the goods L.

[0133] (Storage Department)

[0134] The storage unit 320 stores software and various data. For example, the storage unit 320 stores information about the deliveryman D. The information about the deliveryman D may include, for example, basic information about the deliveryman D (name, email address, phone number, etc. of the deliveryman D), identification information about the deliveryman D, i.e., the deliveryman ID, current location information, current delivery area, mobile body type identification information, delivery history information, etc. It may also include the name of the delivery company and the delivery company identification information. However, the information about the deliveryman D is not limited to this.

[0135] In addition, the storage unit 320 stores information about the candidate service providers. The information about the candidate service providers includes, for example, the name of the candidate service provider, the name of the candidate service provider in the service, the identification information of the candidate service provider, i.e., the service provider ID, email address, telephone number, address, gender, age, and external application account information. However, the information about the candidate service provider is not limited to this.

[0136] In addition, the storage unit 320 may also store information related to the service provision of the candidate service provider in association with the identification information of the service provider such as the service provider ID. The information related to the service provision is, for example, information on the training status of the prescribed training related to the means of receiving the goods L, the area where the service is desired to be provided, identity document information (including driver's license information), transfer account information, service provision history information, etc. The prescribed training related to the means of receiving the goods L is, for example, training for loading the goods L onto an unmanned mobile body.

[0137] In addition, the storage unit 320 may store the names of each shift of the passenger and cargo mixed moving body M2 that operates on a regular basis, shift identification information, parking route information, arrival time and departure time at each parking location, and the like.

[0138] (Control Department)

[0139] The control unit 330 controls the overall operation of the server 30. For example, the control unit 330 controls the communication unit 310 to transmit the recruitment notice of the service provider generated by the notice generating unit 350 to the service provider terminal 20.

[0140] In addition, the control unit 330 has a function of setting the candidate labor provider as the labor provider S based on the fact that the candidate labor provider has been recruited, which is transmitted from the labor provider terminal 20 used by the candidate labor provider. For example, the control unit 330 sets the candidate labor provider as the labor provider S when notifying the communication unit 310 that the candidate labor provider has been recruited.

[0141] In addition, the control unit 330 generates instruction information, which is information instructing the delivery person D to handle the goods L, based on whether the service provider candidate has accepted the recruitment of the service provider. For example, if the service provider candidate has not accepted the recruitment of the service provider, the instruction information may be information instructing the delivery person D to perform the service that the service provider S would be responsible for if the service provider candidate had accepted the recruitment. For example, the instruction information may be information instructing the delivery person D to board the passenger-cargo mixed transport body M2 together with the goods L, or information instructing the goods L to be unloaded from the passenger-cargo mixed transport body M2, etc.

[0142] Furthermore, if the control unit 330 is not notified of the candidate service provider's acceptance of the recruitment within a certain period of time after the communication unit 310 transmits the recruitment notification, the control unit 330 may determine that the candidate service provider does not accept the recruitment of the service provider.

[0143] In addition, when a service provider setting request is sent from the delivery person terminal 10 to the communication unit 310, the shift of the passenger and cargo mobile body M2 for delivering the goods L can be determined based on the designated shift included in the service provider setting request. In addition, the control unit 330 can also determine the shift of the passenger and cargo mobile body M2 for delivering the goods L based on the location information of the delivery person terminal 10. Specifically, the control unit 330 can calculate the time when the delivery person D arrives at the departure point DP of the passenger and cargo mobile body M2 based on the location of the delivery person terminal 10 and the location of the departure point DP of the passenger and cargo mobile body M2. In this case, the control unit 330 can decide to deliver the goods L with the shift that departs from the departure point DP at the earliest time after this time. In addition, the control unit 330 can determine the time when the service provider S should provide the service based on the determined shift of the passenger and cargo mobile body M2 for delivering the goods L.

[0144] In addition, the control unit 330 may also have the following function: when the communication unit 310 receives the delivery request of the goods L, the control unit 330 may generate a delivery plan related to the delivery of the goods L. For example, when the communication unit 310 accepts the delivery request from the client R, the control unit 330 may generate a delivery plan based on the delivery request. In addition, the control unit 330 may also regenerate the delivery plan based on whether the service provider candidate accepts the recruitment of the service provider. In addition, the control unit 330 may determine the time when the service provider S should provide the service based on the situation that the delivery person D or the unmanned mobile body is determined for the goods L, and may also determine the delivery interval of the delivery person D or the unmanned mobile body based on the situation that the service provider S is determined.

[0145] (Candidate Decision Department)

[0146] The candidate determination unit 340 has a function of determining a service provider candidate estimated to be able to provide a service related to the delivery of the cargo L by the cargo-passenger mobile body M2 as a service provider candidate related to the delivery of the cargo L. For example, when the delivery means of the cargo L includes the cargo-passenger mobile body M2, the candidate determination unit 340 determines a service provider candidate related to the delivery of the cargo L from the service provider candidates.

[0147] The candidate determination unit 340 can determine the service provider candidates related to the delivery of the goods L based on the position information of the service provider candidates transmitted from the service provider terminal 20 by the communication unit 310 .

[0148] In addition, the candidate determination unit 340 may determine the service provider candidate related to the delivery of the goods L based on the information related to the passenger and cargo mobile body M2 that the service provider candidate is riding. For example, the candidate determination unit 340 may determine the service provider candidate who is riding the passenger and cargo mobile body M2 that delivers the goods L as the service provider candidate related to the delivery of the goods L. In addition, the passenger and cargo mobile body M2 that the service provider candidate is riding may be estimated by the control unit 330 based on the position information of the service provider candidate, or may be arbitrarily set by input operation on the application when the service provider candidate is riding the passenger and cargo mobile body M2, or may be set by obtaining search result information when the service provider candidate performs a route search on the application.

[0149] In addition, the candidate determination unit 340 may also determine the service provider candidate who is scheduled to board the mixed passenger and cargo moving body M2 for delivery of the cargo L as the service provider candidate related to the cargo L. By determining the service provider candidate who is on or scheduled to board the mixed passenger and cargo moving body M2 for delivery of the cargo L as the service provider candidate related to the delivery of the cargo L, it is possible to study whether the service provider candidate who has confirmed the recruitment notice will be responsible for the service in the process of moving to the destination. In addition, the mixed passenger and cargo moving body M2 that the service provider candidate is scheduled to board can be estimated by the control unit 330 based on the position information of the service provider candidate, or can be arbitrarily set by input operation on the application when it is determined that the service provider candidate is scheduled to board the mixed passenger and cargo moving body M2, or can be set by obtaining the search result information when the service provider candidate performs a route search on the application. That is, according to this structure, it is possible to send a recruitment notice for a service that is easy for the service provider candidate to provide, so the convenience for the service provider candidate is improved.

[0150] In addition, the candidate determination unit 340 may determine multiple service provider candidates. In this case, the communication unit 310 may send a notice of recruitment of service providers to multiple service provider terminals 20 respectively used by the multiple service provider candidates determined. The control unit 330 may set the service provider candidate using the service provider terminal 20 that initially sent the notice of acceptance of recruitment by the service provider candidate as the service provider S. In addition, the communication unit 310 may send a notice of recruitment of service providers to one or more service provider candidates among the multiple service provider candidates determined. At this time, if the service provider candidate notified of the recruitment of service providers does not accept the recruitment, the control unit 330 may control the communication unit 310 to notify service provider candidates different from the service provider candidate of the recruitment of service providers.

[0151] (Notification Generation Department)

[0152] The notification generation unit 350 has a function of generating a recruitment notification for service providers. The recruitment notification generated by the notification generation unit 350 is sent to the service provider terminal 20 by the communication unit 310 according to the control of the control unit 330. The recruitment of service providers includes information such as the content of the responsible service, the location of the responsible service, and the time of the responsible service. The content of the service for which the notification generation unit 350 generates the recruitment notification for service providers may be the content of the service that the deliveryman D wishes the service provider to provide, which is included in the service provider setting request sent from the deliveryman terminal 10. In addition, the content of the service for which the notification generation unit 350 generates the recruitment notification for service providers may also be the content corresponding to the delivery plan involved in the delivery of the goods L.

[0153] In addition, the notification generating unit 350 may generate a recruitment notification for a service provider who is responsible for collecting the goods L from the delivery person D and loading the goods L into the passenger and cargo moving body M2. Furthermore, loading the goods L into the passenger and cargo moving body M2 may be storing the goods L in a storage box (storage unit) provided in the passenger and cargo moving body M2. The storage box may have an authentication function so that the stored goods L can be collected only by an authenticated person, and may also send authentication information (such as an authentication code, etc.) to the delivery person terminal of the delivery person D or the service provider terminal of the service provider S when the storage operation of the goods L is performed. By storing the goods L in the storage box for delivery, the delivery person D and the service provider S can deliver the goods L without boarding the passenger and cargo moving body M2, and can deliver the goods L more efficiently.

[0154] In addition, the notification generating unit 350 may also generate a recruitment notification for a service provider who is responsible for temporarily collecting the cargo L in the passenger-cargo moving body M2. Temporarily collecting the cargo L in the passenger-cargo moving body M2 may be temporarily collecting the cargo L from the delivery person D, or from a service provider S different from the service provider S responsible for the service. In addition, temporarily collecting the cargo L in the passenger-cargo moving body M2 may be collecting the cargo L loaded in the passenger-cargo moving body M2 by storing it in a storage box, etc.

[0155] In addition, the notification generating unit 350 may generate a recruitment notification for a service provider who is responsible for delivering the cargo L to a service provider S different from the delivery person D or the service provider S in charge of the service in the passenger-cargo moving body M2 or a different delivery person D.

[0156] In addition, the notification generating unit 350 may generate a recruitment notification for a service provider who is responsible for delivering the cargo L in the passenger and cargo moving body M2. The cargo L delivered in the passenger and cargo moving body M2 may be delivered to a delivery person D or to a service provider S different from the service provider S responsible for the service.

[0157] For example, the notification generation unit 350 may also generate a recruitment notification for a service provider who is responsible for temporarily collecting the goods L delivered by the passenger and cargo moving body M2 outside the passenger and cargo moving body M2. Temporary collection outside the passenger and cargo moving body M2 may be temporarily collected from the delivery person D or the service provider S, or may be collected from a courier box or the like that can store the goods L and is set indoors or outdoors. In addition, the goods L may be received by unloading the goods L loaded on the unmanned moving body to which the goods L are delivered. In addition, the notification generation unit 350 may also generate a recruitment notification for a service provider who is responsible for the service and is responsible for delivering the goods L on the passenger and cargo moving body M2.

[0158] In addition, the notification generation unit 350 may also generate a recruitment notification for a service provider who is responsible for temporarily collecting the cargo L from the delivery person D or the service provider S in the passenger-cargo moving body M2. In this case, the notification generation unit 350 may generate a recruitment notification for a service provider including a case where the service provider waits at the arrival point AP before the scheduled arrival time of the passenger-cargo moving body M2.

[0159] In addition, the notification generation unit 350 may also generate a recruitment notification for service providers who board the passenger-cargo mobile body M2 and provide the various services described above. In this case, the notification generation unit 350 generates a recruitment notification for service providers including the location and time of boarding the passenger-cargo mobile body M2. In addition, the location where the service provider S boards the passenger-cargo mobile body M2 may be a location where the various services described above are provided, or a location where the passenger-cargo mobile body M2 can be boarded until the passenger-cargo mobile body M2 arrives at the location where the service is provided.

[0160] In addition, the notification generation unit 350 may recruit service providers who are responsible for handling the cargo L before or after delivery by the passenger-cargo mobile body M2 in addition to the services described above. For example, the notification generation unit 350 may generate a recruitment notification for service providers who are responsible for packing the cargo L before delivery by the passenger-cargo mobile body M2 and unpacking the cargo after delivery by the passenger-cargo mobile body M2. In addition, the notification generation unit 350 may generate a recruitment notification for service providers who are responsible for unloading the cargo L from the unmanned mobile body before delivery by the passenger-cargo mobile body M2 and loading the cargo L onto the unmanned mobile body after delivery.

[0161] In addition, the notification generation unit 350 may also generate a recruitment notice for a service provider who is responsible for delivering the goods L to the client R after the delivery by the passenger and cargo mobile body M2. The delivery to the client R may be delivery to the client R's own residence, or delivery of the goods L at the delivery location MP. In addition, the notification generation unit 350 may also generate a recruitment notice for a service provider who is responsible for delivering the goods L to a delivery person D or a service provider S different from the service provider S responsible for the service after the delivery by the passenger and cargo mobile body M2. In addition, the notification generation unit 350 may also generate a recruitment notice for a service provider who is responsible for storing the goods L in a courier box or the like that is set indoors or outdoors and is capable of storing the goods L after the delivery by the passenger and cargo mobile body M2.

[0162] So far, the recruitment notice of various service providers related to the delivery of goods L generated by the notification generation unit 350 has been described. The notification generation unit 350 generates a recruitment notice of a service provider who is responsible for at least any one of the services involved in the recruitment notice of the various service providers described above. In addition, the notification generation unit 350 can also generate a recruitment notice of a service provider who is responsible for a plurality of various services. In addition, the notification generation unit 350 can also generate a recruitment notice of a plurality of service providers who are responsible for services of different contents for the same goods L. In this case, the candidate determination unit 340 can determine the service provider candidates for each of the recruitment notices of the plurality of service providers. In addition, the delivery person D can also be notified of instruction information corresponding to the application status for the recruitment content. Furthermore, after generating a recruitment notice for a service provider (for example, recruitment for a series of services such as collecting goods from the delivery person D in the passenger and cargo mobile body M2 at the departure point DP and delivering the goods to a delivery location after getting off at the arrival point AP), if it is determined that no service provider has accepted the recruitment, recruitment notices for two or more service providers may be generated again for the same cargo delivery path (for example, recruitment that divides a series of services, such as a first recruitment for the service of collecting goods from the delivery person D in the passenger and cargo mobile body M2 at the departure point DP and a second recruitment for the service of delivering goods to a delivery location from a service provider in the passenger and cargo mobile body M2 at the arrival point AP). In this way, when more than two service providers are recruited, instruction information can be generated to notify the deliveryman D based on the application status (for example, when there is an application for the first recruitment and the second recruitment, instruction information is generated for the deliveryman D to deliver the goods to the service provider S at the departure point DP; when there is an application only for the first recruitment, instruction information is generated for the deliveryman D to deliver the goods to the service provider S at the departure point DP, and instruction information is generated for other deliverymen to collect the goods from the service provider S at the arrival point AP; when there is an application only for the second recruitment, instruction information is generated for the deliveryman D to board the passenger and cargo mixed mobile body M2 at the departure point DP and deliver the goods to the service provider S at the arrival point AP, etc.).

[0163] As described above, the notification generation unit 350 can generate a plurality of recruitment notifications of service providers. According to this configuration, it is possible to generate a recruitment notification of a service provider that matches the situation of the delivery person D, thereby achieving more efficient delivery of the cargo L.

[0164] In addition, the notification generation unit 350 may also generate a recruitment notification of a service provider including remuneration information. The remuneration information is information related to the remuneration that the service provider S can receive by providing the service involved in the recruitment of the service provider. The remuneration may be money, or service or points having monetary value, etc. The content of the remuneration may be determined by the delivery person D using the delivery person terminal 10 that sent the provider setting request, or may be a predetermined content.

[0165] The functional configuration example of the embodiment of the present invention has been described above. Next, an operation processing example of the present embodiment will be described.

[0166] <<3. Example of operation processing in this embodiment>>

[0167] Here, the delivery person D, the service provider candidate, and the service provider S provided by the present information processing system can access the server 30 by using an application (including a web browser) and the like, and in the case of using the service for the first time, perform a registration process to obtain an account. Furthermore, after obtaining an account or in the case of having obtained an account, for example, by accepting the input of a prescribed authentication such as a service provider ID or a delivery person ID and a password, the service can be used. In addition, instead of an account, a unique application ID associated with an application downloaded to the delivery person terminal 10 or the service provider terminal 20 can be used as a service provider ID or a delivery person ID. After this login authentication, the service can be used via an application (including a web browser) and the like.

[0168] Figure 6 This is an explanatory diagram for explaining an example of the flow of operation processing performed by the server 30 of this embodiment. First, the communication unit 310 receives a service provider setting request related to the delivery of goods L from the delivery person terminal 10 (S104). The candidate determination unit 340 determines a service provider candidate based on the service provider setting request (S108).

[0169] Next, the notification generation unit 350 generates a recruitment notification of a service provider based on the service provider setting request ( S116 ).

[0170] Next, the communication unit 310 transmits the recruitment notification of the service providers generated by the notification generation unit 350 to the service provider terminal 20 used by the service provider candidates determined by the candidate determination unit 340 ( S120 ).

[0171] Then, the control unit 330 determines whether the candidate labor provider has accepted the recruitment (S124) based on the notification of whether the candidate labor provider has accepted the recruitment received from the labor provider terminal 20 via the communication unit 310. If it is determined that the candidate labor provider has accepted the recruitment (S124 / Yes), the process proceeds to S128, and if it is determined that the candidate labor provider has not accepted the recruitment (S124 / No), the process proceeds to S136.

[0172] If it is determined that the service provider candidate has accepted the recruitment (S124 / Yes), the control unit 330 sets the service provider candidate who has accepted the recruitment as the service provider S (S128). Next, the communication unit 310 notifies the delivery person D of the setting information related to the setting of the service provider by the control unit 330, and the server 30 ends the operation (S132).

[0173] On the other hand, when it is determined that the service provider candidate does not accept the recruitment (S124 / No), the communication unit 310 notifies the delivery person D of the instruction information generated by the control unit 330, and the server 30 ends the operation (S136).

[0174] <<4. Hardware Configuration Example>>

[0175] The information processing described above is realized by the cooperation of software and the hardware of the server 30 described below. In addition, the hardware structure described below can also be applied to the delivery person terminal 10 and the service provider terminal 20.

[0176] Figure 7 1 is an explanatory diagram for explaining an example of the hardware structure of the server 30 according to the present embodiment. Figure 7 As shown, the server 30 includes a control unit 330 , a memory 31 , a storage 32 , a transceiver unit 33 , an input / output unit 34 , etc., which are electrically connected to each other via a bus 35 .

[0177] The control unit 330 is a computing device that controls the overall operation of the server 30, controls the data transmission and reception between various elements, and performs information processing required for the execution of applications and authentication processing. For example, the control unit 330 is a CPU (Central Processing Unit) and / or a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit), and executes the program for this system stored in the storage 32 and expanded in the memory 31 to implement various information processing as described above.

[0178] The memory 31 includes a main storage, which is composed of a volatile storage device such as a DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory), and an auxiliary storage, which is composed of a non-volatile storage device such as a flash memory and a HDD (Hard Disc Drive). The memory 31 is used as a work area of ​​the control unit 330, and also stores the BIOS (Basic Input / Output System) executed when the server 30 is started, and various setting information.

[0179] The memory 32 stores various programs such as application programs. A database storing data used for each process may be constructed in the memory 32 .

[0180] The transceiver 33 connects the server 30 to the Internet and / or the blockchain network. In addition, the transceiver 33 may include a Bluetooth (registered trademark) and BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) short-range communication interface.

[0181] The input / output unit 34 includes information input devices such as a keyboard, a microphone, and a mouse, and output devices such as a display and a speaker.

[0182] The bus 35 is commonly connected to the above-mentioned elements, and transmits, for example, address signals, data signals, and various control signals.

[0183] <<5.Supplement>>

[0184] The preferred embodiment of the present invention is described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to this example. Obviously, a person with common knowledge in the technical field to which the present invention belongs can think of various changes or modifications within the scope of the technical idea recorded in the claims, and these changes or modifications are of course also understood to belong to the technical scope of the present invention.

[0185] For example, in the above embodiment, an example is shown in which the server 30 recruits service providers who are responsible for the service related to the delivery of the goods L by the passenger and cargo moving body M2, but the delivery means of the goods L is not limited to the passenger and cargo moving body M2. For example, the delivery means of the goods L may also be a manned moving body used as a delivery means for the delivery of the goods L by the delivery person D. In this case, the notification generating unit 350 may also generate a recruitment notification for a service provider who is responsible for temporarily receiving the goods L delivered by the manned moving body outside the manned moving body, delivering the goods L to the delivery person D or the service provider S in the manned moving body, or temporarily receiving the goods L from the delivery person D or the service provider S in the manned moving body.

[0186] In addition, the delivery means of the goods L may also be an unmanned moving body. In this case, the notification generation unit 350 may also generate a recruitment notification for a service provider who is responsible for temporarily receiving the goods L delivered by the unmanned moving body outside the unmanned moving body, loading the goods L on the unmanned moving body, or temporarily receiving the goods L loaded on the unmanned moving body.

[0187] In addition, in the above embodiment, the example in which the service provider S is a part-time worker who is responsible for a single service is described, but the service provider S may also be a specific person such as a family member or friend of the client R, a manager of the departure and arrival places of unmanned vehicles, or a collector of a neighborhood association. In this case, the storage unit 320 may receive information specifying the specific person as a service provider candidate from the information processing terminal used by the client R. Furthermore, the candidate determination unit 340 may determine the specific person as a service provider candidate related to the delivery of the goods L delivered to the client R.

[0188] In addition, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the example of recruiting the service provider S and delivering to the receiver through the service provider may exist, but there may be a case where the receiver is riding as a passenger in the passenger-cargo moving body M2. Therefore, a notification to confirm whether the receiver can execute the contents (collection method) related to the above-mentioned recruitment of the service provider S (i.e., a notification to confirm whether the receiver can collect in the passenger-cargo moving body M2, whether the receiver can collect from the passenger-cargo moving body M2, etc.) can be sent to the receiver's terminal. If the receiver performs a confirmation operation indicating that the notification can be executed, the recruitment of the service provider S may not be performed. The notification may be a notification that the delivery person D confirms the collection method selected for the specified passenger-cargo moving body M2, or a notification that the receiver can select the collection method for the specified passenger-cargo moving body M2. Conversely, the delivery person terminal may be notified whether the delivery person D can handle the collection method specified by the receiver alone or in combination with the recruitment of the service provider S.

[0189] Furthermore, a computer program may be created for causing hardware such as a CPU, a ROM, and a RAM built into the server 30 to perform the same functions as the above-described components of the server 30 .
