[0040] Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the main process of the method for monitoring item delivery according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, the method for monitoring item delivery includes steps S101 to S104.

[0041] Step S101: receiving an item delivery instruction.

[0042] Step S102: Sending a setting instruction of the tag device to write the delivery information of the item to be delivered into the tag device to be loaded on the item.

[0043] Specifically, after receiving the delivery instruction of the item, a printing instruction of the item delivery order and a setting instruction of the label device are sent to print the delivery order and write the delivery information of the item to be delivered into the label device associated with the delivery order.

[0044] Step S103: receiving the vehicle information of the delivery vehicle that read the delivery information from the tag device and the delivery information associated with the vehicle information, and setting the delivery status of the item, wherein the vehicle information includes the vehicle position.

[0045] In addition, after receiving the vehicle information, the location information of the delivery vehicle can also be obtained in real time, for example based on the vehicle information.

[0046] Step S104: updating the delivery status of the item according to the vehicle position and the recognition of the delivery information by the delivery vehicle.

[0047] Specifically, the delivery status of the item may be updated in response to receiving a notification that the delivery information of the item is no longer recognized by the delivery vehicle and determining that the vehicle's current location matches the address information in the delivery information.

[0048] Further, in response to receiving a notification that the delivery information of an item is no longer recognized by the delivery vehicle and determining that the current location of the vehicle matches the address information in the delivery information, a delay operation can be initiated to update the delivery status of the item by receiving a notification that the delivery information is still not recognized within a predetermined delay time.

[0049] Furthermore, the address information may include a shipping address for the item. In response to receiving a notification that the delivery information of the item is no longer recognized by the delivery vehicle and determining that the current location of the vehicle matches the shipping address for the item in the delivery information, a delay operation may be initiated to update the delivery status and delivery information of the item by receiving a notification that the delivery information of the item is recognized and the delivery information is changed within a predetermined delay time.

[0050] In addition, if Figure 2 As shown, after updating the delivery status of the item, the method for monitoring item delivery may further include step S105: in response to confirming that the updated delivery status is a delivery completion status or a delivery cancellation status, outputting the relevant delivery track of the item and historical data of the delivery status.

[0051] According to the monitoring method of the item delivery of the embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to achieve seamless connection between online and offline, reduce the complexity of system interaction, and improve operational efficiency. In addition, it is possible to realize the automatic flow of all states of item delivery (for example, including: delivery, completion, cancellation, resending, etc.). In addition, it is possible to track the item delivery trajectory. Therefore, it is possible to effectively monitor the delivery status of items while improving the efficiency of item delivery.

[0052] The following references Figure 3 A specific example of the method for monitoring item delivery according to an embodiment of the present invention is further described.

[0053] Figure 3 The overall flow chart of item delivery is shown. Figure 3 Before the item delivery process shown, the following pre-configuration can be performed.

[0054] The vehicle information of the delivery vehicle can be pre-configured in the intelligent monitoring and decision-making module in the background. The intelligent monitoring and decision-making module in the background is connected to the GPS and RFID communication devices set in each delivery vehicle, and the data communication frequency is configured. In the background, the flow strategy of the item delivery status is configured, such as the cancellation rules of item delivery, the item exchange strategy, the rules for binding and unbinding the delivery items and vehicles, etc. In addition, the time for the delivery of delivered items, the proportion of delivery cancellations, the proportion of item returns and exchanges, the operation time of item returns and exchanges, etc. can also be recorded and analyzed for big data analysis and decision-making.

[0055] In addition, prepare printed paper with electronic labels in advance, such as label paper printed with conductive ink, or embed the electronic label into the printed paper of the delivery order. Prepare an electronic label printer in advance, which can print the surface information and write the relevant item delivery information into the electronic label chip at the same time.

[0056] After performing the above pre-configuration, refer to Figure 2 Execute the following item delivery process.

[0057] First, the warehouse staff obtains the delivery list of items to be shipped.

[0058] Then, the paper delivery order of the delivered items is printed through the electronic label printer and electronic label printing paper, wherein the paper information of the delivery order includes: commodity details, delivery information order number, consignee information, etc. When printing the delivery order of the delivered items, the background simultaneously sends an instruction to write the delivery information of the items into the electronic label chip of the delivery order.

[0059] Warehouse staff complete offline picking, packing, boxing, loading and other actions based on the outbound order information.

[0060] When the delivery personnel load the packaged items into the delivery vehicle, the on-board RFID reading device installed in the delivery vehicle identifies the item delivery information in the electronic tag of the item package loaded into the vehicle, and sends the identified item delivery information together with the vehicle information, time information, etc. of the delivery vehicle to the background.

[0061] After receiving the item delivery information and the associated vehicle information, the background intelligent monitoring and decision-making module automatically synchronizes / sets the item delivery status to the shipped status and binds the vehicle information to the item delivery information.

[0062] After the delivery vehicle is started, the background establishes communication with the delivery vehicle's onboard GPS to synchronize the delivery trajectory of the items in real time.

[0063] When the delivered item arrives at the destination and is delivered, the intelligent monitoring and decision-making module in the background determines whether to update the delivery status of the item to the delivered (completed) state by identifying the behavior of the delivered item leaving the delivery vehicle (i.e., the on-board RFID reader cannot read the delivery information of the item) and analyzing whether the delivery address of the item matches the current vehicle location. The on-board RFID reader can read the delivery information in real time or at a fixed time. In addition, for example, a delay time (e.g., 2 hours) can be set for confirming the delivery to ensure that the delivery status is updated after the delivery item is actually delivered. That is, if the on-board RFID reader still fails to identify the delivery information of the item within the delay time, the delivery status of the item is updated to the completed state; if the delivered item returns to the delivery vehicle again within the delay time range (i.e., the on-board RFID reader re-reads the delivery information), the subsequent delivery status update action is interrupted (at this time, the item may be rejected or the recipient is not at the destination, and needs to be delivered on another day), or the delivery status can be updated to the delivery continuation state.

[0064] After completing the delivery of all items, the delivery vehicle returns to the warehouse with some of the returned delivery items, and completes the unloading and returns the delivery items to the warehouse. At this time, the intelligent monitoring and decision-making module in the background determines whether to update the delivery status of the item to the canceled state by identifying the behavior of the delivery item leaving the delivery vehicle (that is, the on-board RFID reading device cannot read the delivery information of the item) and analyzing whether the current vehicle location matches the warehouse address (shipping address). In addition, for example, a delay time (for example, 24 hours) for confirming the cancellation of delivery can be set to update the delivery status to the canceled state after ensuring that the delivery of the item is actually canceled. This delay time can be used for item replacement operations. That is, if the on-board RFID reader still fails to identify the delivery information of the item within the delay time, the delivery status of the item is updated to the canceled status; if the delivered item is re-sorted, re-packed and loaded back onto the delivery vehicle within the delay time (i.e., the on-board RFID reader reads the delivery information of the item again), the subsequent delivery cancellation operation is interrupted, and the delivery status of the item and the new delivery track are resynchronized, and the delivery status of the item can be updated to the delivery re-send status. In this delivery re-send status, the association information between the outbound order and the delivered item can be re-established, for example, the delivery information of the item can be re-obtained.

[0065] In addition, the background intelligent monitoring and decision-making module can also record and analyze item delivery trajectory, successful delivery, cancellation, item return and exchange data, etc. for big data analysis and decision-making.

[0066] The above specific examples describe that when the on-board RFID reading device cannot read the delivery information of the item and determines that the delivery address or mailing address of the item matches the current vehicle location, the corresponding update operation is performed. However, it is not limited to the above examples. For example, when the on-board RFID reading device cannot read the delivery information of the item and the delivery address or mailing address of the item does not match the current vehicle location, the delivery status can be updated, for example, updated to a delivery abnormality status. In addition, when the on-board RFID reading device can read the delivery information of the item and the delivery address or mailing address of the item matches the current vehicle location, the delivery status can be updated, for example, updated to a delivery arrival (not yet delivered) status.

[0067] The above specific example describes setting a predetermined delivery delay time to ensure that the delivery is actually delivered or canceled. However, it is also possible not to set a delay time. The delivery status of the item is updated only based on the current location of the vehicle and the delivery vehicle's recognition of the delivery information.

[0068] The above specific example describes determining whether the delivery address or the shipping address in the delivery information matches the vehicle location. However, other address information in the delivery information can also be determined. For example, it can be determined whether the current location of the vehicle matches the transfer station address in the delivery information. If they match, the delivery status can be updated, for example, updated to the delivery transfer status.

[0069] The above specific example describes that the items to be delivered are associated with the delivery information by printing the delivery order, placing the delivery order in the delivery item package and setting the electronic tag. However, it is not limited to the above example. The items can be associated with the delivery information only by placing the electronic tag in the item package and setting the electronic tag.

[0070] The above specific examples describe the reading or identification of delivery information by a vehicle-mounted RFID reader. However, it is not limited to the above examples, and delivery information can also be read or identified by other vehicle-mounted reading or identification devices (for example, reading or identification devices based on WIFI or Bluetooth).

[0071] In addition, the above specific examples describe that the delivery status of the item is updated to the completed, continued, canceled and resent states to monitor the delivery status of the item. However, the updated status is not limited to the above status recorded in the example, and can also be other delivery status, as long as the status of the item delivery can be effectively monitored by updating the status.

[0072] according to Figure 3The specific example of the method for monitoring item delivery shown can achieve seamless online and offline connection, reduce the complexity of system interaction, and improve operational efficiency. In addition, it can realize the automatic flow of all states of item delivery (for example, including: delivery, completion, cancellation, resending, etc.). In addition, it can realize the tracking of item delivery trajectory. Therefore, it is possible to effectively monitor the delivery status of items while improving the efficiency of item delivery.

[0073] Figure 4 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the main modules of the monitoring device for item delivery according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 4 As shown, the monitoring device 200 for item delivery includes: a receiving unit 201 , a sending unit 202 , a setting unit 203 and an updating unit 204 .

[0074] The receiving unit 201 receives a delivery instruction of an item.

[0075] The sending unit 202 sends a setting instruction of the tag device to write the delivery information of the item to be delivered into the tag device to be loaded on the item.

[0076] Specifically, the sending unit 202 may send a printing instruction for the delivery order of the item and a setting instruction for the label device, so as to print the delivery order and write the delivery information of the item to be delivered into the label device associated with the delivery order.

[0077] The setting unit 203 may receive vehicle information of a delivery vehicle whose delivery information is read from a tag device and delivery information associated with the vehicle information, and set a delivery status of the item, wherein the vehicle information includes the vehicle position.

[0078] In addition, the setting unit 203 can also obtain the location information of the delivery vehicle in real time, for example based on the vehicle information.

[0079] The updating unit 204 updates the delivery status of the item according to the vehicle position and the recognition of the delivery information by the delivery vehicle.

[0080] Specifically, the updating unit 204 may update the delivery status of the item in response to receiving a notification that the delivery information of the item is no longer recognized by the delivery vehicle and determining that the current location of the vehicle matches the address information in the delivery information.

[0081] Further, the update unit 204 may initiate a delay operation in response to receiving a notification that the delivery information of the item is no longer recognized by the delivery vehicle and determining that the current location of the vehicle matches the address information in the delivery information, so as to update the delivery status of the item by receiving a notification that the delivery information is still not recognized within a predetermined delay time.

[0082] Furthermore, the address information may include a shipping address for the item. In response to receiving a notification that the delivery information of the item is no longer recognized by the delivery vehicle and determining that the current location of the vehicle matches the shipping address for the item in the delivery information, the updating unit 204 may initiate a delay operation to update the delivery status and delivery information of the item by receiving a notification that the delivery information of the item is recognized and the delivery information is changed within a predetermined delay time.

[0083] In addition, if Figure 5 As shown, the monitoring device 200 for item delivery may further include an output unit 205. In response to confirming that the updated delivery status is a delivery completion status or a delivery cancellation status, the output unit 205 outputs the relevant delivery track of the item and the historical data of the delivery status.
