Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a logistics system utilizing the metaverse and a control method thereof, which is capable of utilizing a personal virtual warehouse in a virtual space to manage personal belongings stored in a public warehouse in the real world. Background Art
[0002] Generally, the delivery method in the last mile delivery step has evolved from a system in which consumers directly pick up items from a parcel box to a system in which delivery robots deliver items from an automated warehouse-style parcel box to the consumer's doorstep.
[0003] However, in densely populated environments such as apartments and office buildings, it is difficult to apply a delivery system using automated warehouse-type parcel boxes due to space constraints.
[0004] The reason is that automated warehouse-style parcel boxes require a very large space.
[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a logistics system that is not only not restricted by space, but also can utilize automatic warehouse-type parcel boxes to improve space efficiency while improving user convenience at minimal cost. Summary of the invention
[0006] Problems to be solved by the invention
[0007] The present invention aims to solve the aforementioned problems and other problems.
[0008] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a logistics system utilizing the metaverse. If a request is received to utilize a personal virtual warehouse in a virtual space to store or ship out items, a delivery robot is used in the real world to collect the user's items and deliver them to a public warehouse, or to collect the user's items stored in a public warehouse and deliver them to the user's home. This allows the system to be free from spatial constraints, utilize public warehouses to improve spatial efficiency, and improve user convenience at minimal cost.
[0009] Technical solutions to the problem
[0010] A logistics system utilizing the metaverse according to an embodiment of the present invention may include: a public warehouse for storing items of multiple users; a delivery robot for delivering items of users; a server for controlling the delivery robot; and a user terminal, which is communicatively connected to the server. If a request for providing a personal virtual warehouse is received from the user terminal, the server provides the user terminal with the personal virtual warehouse in the virtual space. If a request for storing items or a request for removing items from the personal virtual warehouse in the virtual space is received from the user terminal, the server controls the delivery robot to collect the user's items in the real world and deliver them to the public warehouse, or collect the user's items stored in the public warehouse and deliver them to the user's home. If the storage of items or the removal of items by the delivery robot is completed, the server updates the item storage status information of the personal virtual warehouse in the virtual space based on the actual item storage status information of the public warehouse in the real world.
[0011] A control method for a logistics system according to an embodiment of the present invention is executed by using a server that is communicatively connected to a delivery robot and a user terminal, and may include the steps of receiving a request for providing a personal virtual warehouse from a user terminal; providing a personal virtual warehouse in a virtual space to a user terminal; receiving an item storage request or an item outbound request using the personal virtual warehouse in a virtual space from the user terminal; if an item storage request is received, controlling the delivery robot to collect the user's items in the real world and deliver them to a public warehouse, or, if an item outbound request is received, controlling the delivery robot to collect the user's items stored in the public warehouse in the real world and deliver them to the user's home; and if item storage or item outbound delivery using the delivery robot is completed, updating the item storage status information of the personal virtual warehouse in the virtual space based on the actual item storage status information of the public warehouse in the real world.
[0012] Effects of the Invention
[0013] According to one embodiment of the present invention, if a request is received to use a personal virtual warehouse in a virtual space to store or ship out items, the logistics system of the metaverse is used to use a delivery robot in the real world to collect the user's items and deliver them to a public warehouse, or to collect the user's items stored in a public warehouse and deliver them to the user's home. This allows the user to be free from spatial constraints and utilize public warehouses to improve space efficiency while improving user convenience at minimal cost.
[0014] As described above, the present invention can utilize robots as a medium between the metaverse / virtual space and the real world, and can use professional storage system warehouses for items that are difficult to store at home, thereby improving the efficiency of storage space within the home and achieving efficient space utilization.
[0015] In addition, the present invention can use robots as intermediaries, thereby narrowing the gap between virtual warehouses and public warehouses in the real world to provide more realistic services.
[0016] In addition, the present invention enables the enjoyment of care services through the link services of each item.
[0017] For example, the present invention can immediately perform tedious tasks that users need to perform additionally, such as washing, cleaning, repairing, and discarding of items, through additional link services, thereby maximizing user convenience.
[0018] In addition, the present invention can construct various subdivisions of the warehouse according to the user's preferences, and has the advantage of being able to expand the warehouse indefinitely.
[0019] In addition, the present invention can store and manage items through the metaverse, rather than simply storing existing items, and when the items need to be used, the effect of the items can be immediately used at any time by using robots as a medium. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0035] Figure 1 It is a diagram for explaining a logistics system according to an embodiment of the present invention.
[0036] like Figure 1As shown, the logistics system of the present invention may include: a public warehouse 400 for storing items of multiple users; a delivery robot 200 for delivering items of users; a server 100 for controlling the delivery robot 200; and a user terminal 300 for communicating with the server.
[0037] Here, the public warehouse 400 may include a base-type integrated warehouse, etc., and may centrally store items of all users.
[0038] The public warehouse 400 can be used in conjunction with a management server of a user's residence, such as a surrounding apartment complex.
[0039] As described above, the public warehouse 400, as a warehouse in the real world, can be individually set up according to its function.
[0040] For example, in a clothing warehouse, since it is very important to maintain temperature and humidity during storage, centralized storage can be achieved by setting up separate constant temperature and humidity equipment. In a frozen warehouse, centralized storage can be achieved by setting up a cold chain to maintain a constant sub-zero temperature.
[0041] Furthermore, the delivery robot 200 may include all movable robots capable of transporting the user's items to the public warehouse 400 or the user's home 500 .
[0042] Next, the user terminal 300 may include all devices that can realize extended reality (eXtended Reality; XR) such as personal computers (Personal Computer; PC), network TV (Network TV), hybrid broadcast broadband TV (Hybrid Broadcast Broadband TV; HBBTV), smart TV (Smart TV), Internet Protocol TV (Internet Protocol TV; IPTV) and other fixed devices (standing devices) and mobile devices (mobiled devices or handheld devices: mobile devices or handheld devices) such as smart phones (Smart Phone), tablet PCs (Tablet PC), notebooks (Notebook), personal digital assistants (Personal Digital Assistant; PDA), etc.
[0043] In addition, the network that connects the user terminal 300 and the server 300 or the robot 200 and the server 300 for communication may refer to a network that constitutes a part of the cloud computing infrastructure or exists within the cloud computing infrastructure. Here, the cloud network 10 may be constructed by using a 3G network, a 4G or Long Term Evolution (LTE) network, or a 5G network.
[0044] That is, the user terminal 300 and the server 300 or the robot 200 and the server 300 may be connected to each other through a cloud network, or may communicate with each other through a base station, but may also communicate directly with each other without going through a base station.
[0045] Next, if a request for providing a personal virtual warehouse is received from the user terminal 300, the server 100 will provide the personal virtual warehouse in the virtual space to the user terminal 300. If a request for storing or issuing items through the personal virtual warehouse in the virtual space is received from the user terminal 300, the server 100 will control the delivery robot 200 to collect the user's items in the real world and deliver them to the public warehouse 400, or collect the user's items stored in the public warehouse 400 and deliver them to the user's home 500. If the storage of items or the issuance of items by the delivery robot 200 is completed, the server 100 will update the item storage status information of the personal virtual warehouse in the virtual space based on the actual item storage status information of the public warehouse 400 in the real world.
[0046] Here, when providing a personal virtual warehouse of a virtual space, the server 100 can confirm whether the user owns a personal virtual warehouse of the virtual space based on the user information of the user terminal 300. If it is confirmed that the user owns a personal virtual warehouse, the personal virtual warehouse of the virtual space will be provided to the user terminal 300.
[0047] In addition, when providing a personal virtual warehouse in a virtual space, if it is confirmed that the user does not have a personal virtual warehouse, the server 100 will provide a personal virtual warehouse creation window to the user terminal 300, receive creation information through the personal virtual warehouse creation window, and generate a personal virtual warehouse based on the received creation information.
[0048] As an example, when providing a personal virtual warehouse creation window, the server 100 may provide a personal virtual warehouse creation window that includes warehouse category setting items, classified warehouse capacity setting items, warehouse overall capacity setting items, automatic warehouse capacity setting items for user-stored items, and a creation information input completion button.
[0049] Depending on the situation, if user input is received to select the automatic setting item of warehouse capacity in the personal virtual warehouse creation window, the server 100 will request the user terminal 300 for the user's stored item information. If the user's stored item information is received from the user terminal 300, the warehouse category will be automatically set and the classified warehouse capacity will be automatically calculated based on the stored item information, and recommended information including the automatically set warehouse category information and the automatically calculated classified warehouse capacity information will be provided to the user terminal 300.
[0050] Here, when automatically calculating the classified warehouse capacity, the server 100 can predict the user's item storage tendency based on the user's personal information, and can automatically calculate the classified warehouse capacity by reflecting the predicted item storage tendency.
[0051] For example, when predicting a user's item storage tendency, the server 100 may predict the user's item storage tendency based on personal information including the user's living environment, item management level, and item usage time, but this is only one embodiment and is not limited to this.
[0052] Next, when providing a personal virtual warehouse of a virtual space, the server 100 may provide the personal virtual warehouse including a plurality of category warehouses classified by item category to the virtual space.
[0053] Here, the server 100 may assign individual category names to respective category warehouses, and the category warehouses assigned with individual category names may provide personal virtual warehouses arranged horizontally or stacked vertically.
[0054] As an example, the individual category names may include clothing, home appliances, packages, refrigeration, and freezing, but this is merely an embodiment and is not limited thereto.
[0055] The plurality of category warehouses may include a clothing category warehouse for storing clothing items, an appliance category warehouse for storing home appliances, a parcel category warehouse for storing parcel items, a refrigerated category warehouse for storing refrigerated items, and a refrigerated category warehouse for storing frozen items, etc.
[0056] In addition, the plurality of category warehouses of the server 100 may have different shapes from each other, and the shape of each category warehouse may have a representative shape associated with a separate category name, but this is merely an embodiment and is not limited thereto.
[0057] According to circumstances, the plurality of category warehouses of the server 100 may have different colors from each other, and the color of each category warehouse may also have a representative color associated with an individual category name.
[0058] In addition, the server 100 may also provide a capacity indicator on the surface of each category warehouse to display the current item storage capacity relative to the total capacity of the category warehouse.
[0059] In addition, the server 100 may provide a warehouse creation menu for providing additional category warehouses in addition to providing a plurality of category warehouses to the personal virtual warehouse of the virtual space.
[0060] Here, if the user character in the virtual space selects the warehouse creation menu, the server 100 will also provide a category warehouse in the personal virtual warehouse.
[0061] Next, when providing a personal virtual warehouse in a virtual space, the server 100 can generate and provide a pre-set user role in the virtual space. If the user character enters the personal virtual warehouse, a plurality of category warehouses will be arranged in the personal virtual warehouse and the personal virtual warehouse information will be displayed on a specific internal surface of the personal virtual warehouse.
[0062] Here, the personal virtual warehouse information may include category warehouse quantity information, total item quantity information stored in the personal virtual warehouse, and item storage capacity ratio information relative to the total capacity of the personal virtual warehouse, but this is only one embodiment and is not limited to this.
[0063] In addition, if the user character is close to a specific category warehouse, the server 100 will form a spatial movement area of a specific shape on the bottom surface around the specific category warehouse. If the user character enters the spatial movement area, the server 100 will generate warehouse information about the specific category warehouse and an entry button on the surface of the specific category warehouse. If the user character selects the entry button, the server 100 will control the user character to move spatially into the specific category warehouse.
[0064] Here, if the user character enters a specific category warehouse, the server 100 will provide overall item information about the items stored in the specific category warehouse and individual item information about each stored item.
[0065] As an example, the overall item information may include overall stored item quantity information and item-by-item stored quantity information classified by specific item, and the individual item information may include storage status information, storage period information, and user request item selection item information.
[0066] Here, the user request item selection information may include outbound request item information, inbound request item information, discard request item information, and specific service request item information, but this is only an embodiment and is not limited thereto.
[0067] In addition, in the specific service request item information, if the item is clothing, it includes a washing service request item, and if the item is a home appliance, it includes an inspection service item, a cleaning service item, and a repair service item, but this is only one embodiment and is not limited to this.
[0068] In addition, if the user character enters a specific category warehouse, the server 100 will provide a capacity indicator inside the specific category warehouse that displays the item storage capacity ratio information relative to the total capacity of the specific category warehouse, a user outbound input button for requesting an outbound shipment, a user inbound input button for requesting an inbound shipment, and a user capacity expansion input button for requesting an expansion of the capacity.
[0069] Next, when receiving an item storage request, if the user character in the virtual space selects a specific category warehouse among multiple category warehouses included in the personal virtual warehouse and selects the item storage button, the server 100 will receive an item storage request including the specific category warehouse information selected by the user character from the user terminal 300.
[0070] Here, when controlling the delivery robot 200, if a request for item storage is received from the user terminal 300, the server 100 will call the delivery robot 200 in the real world and control the delivery robot 200 to move to the user's home 500. If the user's items are put into the delivery robot 200, the server 100 will control the delivery robot 200 loaded with the user's items to move to the public warehouse 400. The delivery of the user's items is completed by controlling the delivery robot 200 to store the user's items in a category warehouse among multiple category warehouses of the public warehouse 400 that corresponds to the specific category warehouse selected by the user character in the virtual space.
[0071] Next, if the delivery of the user's items is completed, the server 100 transmits a message to the user terminal indicating that the storage of the user's items in the specific category warehouse is completed.
[0072] In addition, if the user's item delivery is completed, the server 100 will update the item storage status information corresponding to the specific category warehouse of the personal virtual warehouse in the virtual space.
[0073] Next, after the user items are delivered, if the user character in the virtual space selects a specific category warehouse among the multiple category warehouses included in the personal virtual warehouse to store the user items, the server 100 will transmit the user item list stored in the specific category warehouse to the user terminal 300 in the real world.
[0074] Depending on the situation, when receiving an item outbound request, if the user character in the virtual space selects a specific category warehouse among multiple category warehouses included in the personal virtual warehouse and selects user items to be outbound from the user items stored in the specific category warehouse and then selects the item outbound button, the server 100 will receive an item outbound request including the specific category warehouse information selected by the user character and the user outbound item information from the user terminal 300.
[0075] In addition, when controlling the delivery robot 200, if a request for an item to be shipped out of the warehouse is received from the user terminal 300, the server 100 will call the delivery robot 200 in the real world and control the delivery robot 200 to move to a specific category warehouse of the public warehouse 400. If the user items stored in the specific category warehouse are completed and put into the delivery robot 200, the server 100 will control the delivery robot 200 loaded with the user items to move to the user's home to complete the delivery of the user items.
[0076] Here, if the delivery of the user's items is completed, the server 100 will transmit a message of completing the delivery of the user's items to the user terminal 300 .
[0077] Next, if the user's item delivery is completed, the server 100 will update the item storage status information corresponding to the specific category warehouse of the personal virtual warehouse in the virtual space.
[0078] Next, after the user items are delivered, if the user character in the virtual space selects a specific category warehouse among the multiple category warehouses included in the personal virtual warehouse to store the user items, the server 100 will transmit the user item list stored in the specific category warehouse to the user terminal 300 in the real world.
[0079] In different situations, when controlling the delivery robot 200, if a package is stored in a public warehouse in the real world, the server 100 will transmit a package arrival message to the user terminal 300 corresponding to the recipient of the package and update the item storage status information corresponding to the package category warehouse of the personal virtual warehouse in the virtual space. If the user character selects a package category warehouse in the virtual space, the server 100 will provide a list of packages stored in the package category warehouse. If the user character selects a specific package and selects the immediate pick-up request button, the server 100 will call the delivery robot 200 in the real world and control the delivery robot 200 to move to the public warehouse 400. The delivery of the package can be completed by controlling the delivery robot 200 to pick up the package and move it to the user's home 500.
[0080] Here, if the package delivery is completed, the server 100 will update the item storage status information corresponding to the package category warehouse of the personal virtual warehouse in the virtual space.
[0081] Next, if the user character selects a specific package and selects the scheduled pickup request button, the server 100 will determine the scheduled pickup date and scheduled pickup time of the package. If the scheduled pickup date and scheduled pickup time are reached in the real world, the server 100 will call the delivery robot 200 and control the delivery robot 200 to move to the public warehouse. The delivery of the package can be completed by controlling the delivery robot 200 to pick up the package and move it to the user's home 500.
[0082] In another case, when receiving an item storage request, if the user character in the virtual space selects a specific category warehouse among multiple category warehouses included in the personal virtual warehouse and selects the item specific service storage button, the server 100 will receive an item specific service storage request including the specific category warehouse information selected by the user character from the user terminal 300.
[0083] Here, if the item is clothing, the item-specific service storage button includes a washing service storage button; if the item is a home appliance, the item-specific service storage button includes an inspection service storage button, a cleaning service storage button, and a repair service storage button, but this is only one embodiment and is not limited to this.
[0084] Next, when controlling the delivery robot 200, if a request for storage of a specific service for an item is received from the user terminal 300, the server 100 will call the delivery robot 200 in the real world and control the delivery robot 200 to move to the user's home 500. If the user's item is put into the delivery robot 200, the server 100 will control the delivery robot 200 loaded with the user's item to move to the service warehouse. If the specific service of the user's item in the service warehouse is completed, the server 100 will control the delivery robot 200 to deliver the user's item that has completed the specific service to the public warehouse 400. The delivery of the user's item can be completed by controlling the delivery robot 200 to store the user's item in a category warehouse among multiple category warehouses of the public warehouse 400 that corresponds to the specific category warehouse selected by the user character in the virtual space.
[0085] Here, if the delivery of the user's item is completed, the server 100 transmits a message to the user terminal 300 indicating that the user's item has been stored in a warehouse of a specific category after the specific service is completed.
[0086] In addition, if the user's item delivery is completed, the server 100 will update the item storage status information corresponding to the specific category warehouse of the personal virtual warehouse in the virtual space.
[0087] Next, after the user items are delivered, if the user character in the virtual space selects a specific category warehouse among the multiple category warehouses included in the personal virtual warehouse to store the user items, the server 100 will transmit the user item list stored in the specific category warehouse to the user terminal 300 in the real world.
[0088] In another case, when storing the user's items in the public warehouse 400, if the user's items to be stored are of a category that is used only in a specific season, the server 100 controls the user's items to be classified by season and stored.
[0089] Here, the category of items used only in a specific season may include items related to clothing and items related to home appliances, but this is only an embodiment and is not limited thereto.
[0090] In addition, the server 100 can confirm the user's items stored in the public warehouse 400 according to the seasonal cycle in the real world, select the items required for each season, and transmit the inspection request message about the selected items to the user terminal 300.
[0091] Here, when confirming the user's items, the server 100 may confirm the user's items stored in the public warehouse 400 on a preset date or within a preset period before a specific season arrives.
[0092] In addition, if an item inspection request is received from the user terminal 300, the server 100 will request the external management company to inspect the corresponding user's items. If the user's item inspection is completed, the item inspection content will be transmitted to the user terminal 300. If the user character confirms the item inspection content in the virtual space, an item service request button including a cleaning service request item, a repair service request item and a discarding service request item will be provided to the virtual space. If the user character selects the service request button, the corresponding item service will be requested from the external management company in the real world.
[0093] In addition, when storing the user's items in the public warehouse 400, if the user's items to be stored are items that need to be refrigerated or frozen, the server 100 controls the user's items to be classified by temperature and stored.
[0094] Here, if the user's item to be stored is an item that needs to be refrigerated or frozen and has a shelf life, the server 100 controls the storage period of the corresponding user's item and stores it.
[0095] Furthermore, in the real world, if the storage period of the user's items stored in the public warehouse 400 is confirmed and there are user's items that will reach the storage end date, the server 100 transmits a storage end message including storage remaining period information to the user terminal 300 before the storage end date.
[0096] Next, if the user character confirms the storage end message in the virtual space, the server 100 will provide an item service request button including a storage period extension request item, a move-out request item, and a scheduled move-out request item to the virtual space. If the user character selects the service request button, the server 100 will control the provision of the corresponding item service in the real world.
[0097] In addition, if a request for expanding the capacity of a personal virtual warehouse in the virtual space is received from the user terminal 300, the server 100 will provide the user terminal 300 with an overall capacity contract window for the personal virtual warehouse. If the overall capacity contract information of the overall stored items is received from the user terminal 300 through the overall capacity contract window and the corresponding fees are paid, the server 100 will provide a personal virtual warehouse with an overall capacity expansion corresponding to the overall capacity contract information.
[0098] In different situations, if a request for expanding the capacity of a personal virtual warehouse in the virtual space is received from the user terminal 300, the server 100 will provide the user terminal 300 with an individual capacity contract window for the personal virtual warehouse. If individual capacity contract information for the stored items is received from the user terminal 300 through the individual capacity contract window and the corresponding fee is paid, the server 100 will provide a personal virtual warehouse with an expanded individual capacity for the stored items corresponding to the individual capacity contract information.
[0099] The server 100 of the present invention may be implemented as an integrated server, but may also be composed of a plurality of separate servers.
[0100] As an example, the server 100 may include: a metaverse server, which provides a virtual space including a personal virtual warehouse to the user terminal 300; a control server, which, if receiving a request from the user terminal 300 to store or issue items through the personal virtual warehouse in the virtual space, controls the delivery robot 200 in the real world to collect the user's items and deliver them to the public warehouse 400 or collect the user's items stored in the public warehouse 400 and deliver them to the user's home 500; and a warehouse management server, which, if completing the storage of items or the issuance of items through the delivery robot 200, updates the actual item storage status information of the public warehouse 400 in the real world and manages the stored items.
[0101] Here, the Metaverse server can update the item storage status information of the personal virtual warehouse in the virtual space based on the actual item storage status information of the public warehouse 400 in the real world.
[0102] As described above, if a request is received to store or issue items through a personal virtual warehouse in a virtual space, the present invention will collect the user's items in the real world by means of a delivery robot and deliver them to a public warehouse, or collect the user's items stored in a public warehouse and deliver them to the user's home. This allows the present invention to be free from spatial constraints, improve spatial efficiency by utilizing public warehouses, and improve user convenience at minimal cost.
