[0023] In accordance with exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure, a delivery system between a drone and a vehicle and a method for controlling the same are described below with reference to the accompanying figures. Fig. Figure 1 is a view showing a delivery system between a drone and a vehicle according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure; and Fig. Figure 2 is a flowchart of a method for controlling the delivery system between a drone and a vehicle according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0024] According to the present disclosure, the delivery system between a drone and a vehicle can comprise: a roof rack 220, which is arranged on the roof of a vehicle 200 and into which a delivery item 300 can be loaded, having an upper door 222 which can be opened and closed at an upper section thereon, and wherein the delivery item 300 is interchangeable between the roof rack 220 and a drone 100 when the upper door 222 is open; a loading part 224, which is arranged in the roof rack 220 and loads the delivery item 300 onto it or unloads the delivery item 300 from it;a control unit 500 configured to authenticate the drone 100, and to open the upper door 222 of the roof rack 220 when the drone 100 is authenticated, and to operate the loading unit 224 to load the delivery item 300 received from the drone 100 onto it or to unload the delivery item 300 to be delivered to the drone 100 from it.

[0025] The present disclosure proposes a method for delivering a product to a vehicle using a drone and simultaneously exchanging energy between the drone and the vehicle. In particular, the delivery item 300 can be loaded onto the drone 100. The delivery item 300 can be configured in various ways and can be designed using a standardized carrier concept for exchanging stored energy between the drone and the vehicle 200 or for facilitating operation. Therefore, the delivery item can have the form of a standardized box, load a product to be delivered into it, and preferably have a battery installed on one side.

[0026] Additionally, the drone 100 can be configured to communicate directly with the vehicle 200 and also with an external server (not shown) to authenticate the vehicle 200 and be controlled based on server instructions. The roof rack 220 can be located inside the vehicle 200. The roof rack 220 can be formed integrally with the roof of the vehicle or be formed separately from the roof of the vehicle and mounted on the roof of the vehicle. In the illustrated embodiment, the roof rack 220 is formed integrally with the roof of the vehicle 200.

[0027] Furthermore, the roof rack 220 can be arranged on the roof of the vehicle and load a delivery item 300a into it.

[0028] Additionally, the upper door 222, which can be opened and closed, can be formed on an upper section of the roof support 220. When the upper door 222 is open, the delivery item 300a can be interchangeable between the roof support 220 and the drone 100. As shown in the figures, the upper door 222 of the roof support 220 can be opened and closed by a pivoting movement, and when the upper door 222 is open, an interior space of the roof support 220 can be exposed upwards. Accordingly, the delivery item 300a can be interchangeable between the roof support 220 and the drone 100.

[0029] Additionally, the loading element 224 can be arranged in the roof rack 220. The loading element 224 can be positioned on a base surface of a roof rack 220 to lock the delivery item 300a when the delivery item 300a is loaded into the roof rack 220. The lock can be released when the delivery item 300a is to be unloaded into the drone 100 or into an interior space of the vehicle 200. Furthermore, the loading element 224 can also slide back and forth while locking. Various locking mechanisms can be applied to the loading element 224. The locking mechanism can use a conventional method common in a machine-related field, thus eliminating the need for a detailed description of this method.

[0030] The control unit 500 can be located inside the vehicle. In particular, the control unit 500 can be configured to authenticate the drone 100, to open the upper door 222 of the roof rack 220 when the drone 100 is authenticated, and to operate the loading unit 224 to load the delivery item 300a received from the drone 100 onto it or to unload the delivery item 300a to be delivered to the drone 100 from it.

[0031] According to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the control unit can be implemented by an algorithm configured to perform operations on various components of the vehicle, and comprise a non-volatile memory (not shown) configured to store data about software instructions that reproduce the algorithm, and a processor (not shown) configured to perform the operations described below using the data stored in the memory. In particular, the memory and the processor can be implemented as separate chips. Alternatively, the memory and processor can be implemented as a single, integrated chip, and the processor can be configured as one or more processors.

[0032] Additionally, the control unit 500 can be equipped with a wireless communication terminal to communicate with the drone 100 or the external server. The control unit 500 can use the communication terminal's processing and storage functions to receive predefined information about the drone 100 from the drone 100 or the server, in order to approach the vehicle 200 and to authenticate the drone 100 by exchanging this information with the drone 100.

[0033] In response to the authentication of the drone 100, the control unit 500 can be configured to actuate the roof rack 220 to open, thereby controlling the delivery item 300 to be received by the drone 100 or the delivery item 300 to be delivered to the drone 100. Additionally, the control unit 500 can be configured to simultaneously actuate the loading unit 224, loading the delivered item onto it or unloading the delivered item from it. Once loading or unloading is complete, the controller 500 can be configured to actuate the roof rack 220 to close, thereby controlling an additional operation, such as delivering the delivered item 300a into the vehicle's interior.

[0034] The roof rack 220 can include a sliding lower door 240 located below it. If the roof rack 220 can be mounted above and at a distance from the roof of the vehicle, opening the lower door 240 may also require opening a sunroof (not shown) in the roof of the vehicle 200. Additionally, when the lower door 240 is open, the delivery item 300a can be interchangeable between the roof rack 220 and the interior of the vehicle 200. For exchanging the item, a transport mechanism 260, which can be moved upwards and downwards (e.g., vertically), can be installed in the interior of the vehicle. The transport mechanism 260 can grip a delivery item 300b and slide it vertically to transport the item between the roof rack 220 and the interior of the vehicle 200.

[0035] However, if the delivery item 300b needs to be delivered to the drone 100 inside the vehicle, the control unit 500 can be configured to operate the lower door 240 below the roof rack 220 and move the delivery item 300b inside the vehicle to the roof via the transport mechanism 260. If the delivery item 300b is loaded into the roof rack 220 inside the vehicle, the control unit 500 can be configured to operate the loading unit 224, load the delivery item 300a onto it, and, once the drone 100 approaching the vehicle 200 has been authenticated, the control unit 500 can be configured to operate the upper door 222 of the roof rack 220 and the loading unit to unload the delivery item 300a from it, which is to be delivered to the drone 100.Accordingly, the drone 100 can grab the delivery item unloaded from the roof rack 220 and fly it to deliver the item from the vehicle to a desired destination.

[0036] Additionally, if the delivery item 300 is to be delivered by the drone 100 into the interior of the vehicle 200, and if the drone 100 approaches the vehicle 200 and is authenticated, the control unit 500 can be configured to actuate the opening of the upper door 222 of the roof rack 220 and the loading unit 224, and to load the delivery item 300a received by the drone 100 onto it. Then, the control unit 500 can be configured to close the upper door 222 of the roof rack 220, control the opening of the lower door 240, and actuate the loading unit 224 to unload the delivery item 300a from it, so that the delivery item 300a can be delivered into the interior of the vehicle 200 by the transport mechanism 260.

[0037] Furthermore, it is also possible to exchange energy between the drone 100 and the vehicle 200. Accordingly, the delivery item 300 can include an interchangeable battery 310. In other words, the delivery item 300 can have the form of a standardized box, and the battery can be installed in the box. Therefore, if the delivery item 300b is located inside the vehicle, its battery can be electrically connected to a high-voltage battery 600, which is located inside the vehicle and operates as the vehicle's battery 310b. If the delivery item 300 is connected to the drone 100, its battery can operate as battery 310, which supplies energy to the drone 100. Therefore, energy can be exchanged between the drone 100 and the vehicle 200 if the delivery item 300 is exchanged between the drone 100 and the vehicle 200.Additionally, the energy can be exchanged via the delivery item 300, and the item and the energy can thus be exchanged simultaneously between the drone 100 and the vehicle 200. In particular, when connected to the vehicle 200, the exchangeable battery 310b can provide propulsion energy to the vehicle 200 or be charged by the vehicle (e.g., from the vehicle battery). If the vehicle 200 does not have sufficient energy, the control unit 500 can be configured to determine that the exchangeable battery 310b located in the vehicle 200 requires replacement. Specifically, the control unit 500 can be configured to load the exchangeable battery 310b into the roof rack 220 in the vehicle, slide the charging unit 224 to the side, and then supply the exchangeable battery 310 from the drone 100 and load it into the roof rack 220.Then the control unit 500 can be configured to load an interchangeable battery 310a provided by the drone 100 into the interior of the vehicle 200 via the transport mechanism 260.

[0038] Additionally, the control unit 500 can be configured to discharge the vehicle 200's replaceable battery 310a, which is charged in the roof rack 220, into the drone 100. Specifically, the drone 100 may not have sufficient power, and when connected to the drone 100, the replaceable battery 310 can provide propulsion power to the drone 100 or be charged by the drone 100.Additionally, the control unit 500 can be configured to compare the charge level of the replaceable battery 310 connected to the drone 100 and the charge level of the replaceable battery 310b connected to the vehicle 200, and can be configured to swap the replaceable battery of the drone 100 and the replaceable battery of the vehicle 200 if the charge level of the replaceable battery 310b connected to the vehicle 200 is less than the charge level of the replaceable battery 310 connected to the drone 100.

[0039] In other words, the control unit 500 can be configured to receive information about the charge level of the replaceable battery 310 connected to the drone 100 from the drone 100, compare this information with information about the charge level of the replaceable battery 310b connected to the vehicle 200, and swap the two replaceable batteries as needed. Additionally, the control unit 500 can be configured to compare the charge levels of the replaceable battery 310 connected to the drone 100 and the charge levels of the replaceable battery 310b connected to the vehicle 200, and to set up a cost calculation based on any difference in charge levels.If the energy of the vehicle 200 is provided to the drone 100, it may also be possible to receive an online payment from a drone company, and if the energy is provided to the vehicle 200, it may also be possible to pay the corresponding costs to the drone company.

[0040] Fig.Figure 2 is a flowchart of a method for controlling the delivery system between a drone and a vehicle according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. The method for controlling the delivery system between a drone and a vehicle of the present disclosure may include: performing authentication by the control unit and the drone (S200); opening the upper door of the roof rack (S360) in response to the authentication of the drone; and loading the delivery item received from the drone or unloading the delivery item to be delivered to the drone (S360) by the loading part of the roof rack.The method for controlling the delivery system between a drone and a vehicle, where the delivery item includes a swappable battery, may further include: determining a charge quantity of the vehicle's total battery (S100) and a charge quantity of the drone's swappable battery (S120); and performing a cost payment (S220), which is set by a control unit, when the swappable battery needs to be provided from the drone to the vehicle. Additionally, the method for controlling the delivery system between a drone and a vehicle may further include performing a cost settlement (S340), which is set by the control unit, when the vehicle's swappable battery and the drone's swappable battery are exchanged.The procedure can further include performing a cost collection, which is set by the control unit when the swappable battery needs to be provided to the drone by the vehicle. First, as the drone approaches the vehicle, the charge level of the vehicle's total battery (S100) and the charge level of the drone's swappable battery (S120) can be determined. Then, in response to a determination that the vehicle needs recharging, the control unit and the drone can be configured to perform authentication (S200) (S140). Once authentication is complete, the control unit can allow the cost payment (S220) to be made to a server and the swappable battery to be received from the drone (S300).If, in this process, the delivery item is not provided to the vehicle but exchanged between the drone and the vehicle, the exchangeable battery used in the vehicle can be returned to the drone, potentially requiring cost settlement processes (S360, S320, and S340). Additionally, if the vehicle does not require charging and the drone lacks sufficient power, the batteries can be swapped, and the vehicle's control unit can accept costs from the server.

[0041] According to the delivery system between a vehicle and a drone of the present disclosure and a method for controlling the same, an object can be delivered or returned by a vehicle with a drone, the energy of the vehicle and the energy of the drone can complement and mutually charge each other, and both the delivery and the charging can be carried out simultaneously and effectively.
