Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This invention relates to a social return delivery support system that supports free or subsidized food delivery to welfare and educational facilities such as children's cafeterias, elderly care facilities, support facilities for the disabled, and schools. In particular, it relates to a structure that includes collaboration with supplier businesses, automatic determination of support priority, and interactive notification functions. [Background technology]

[0002] In the past, providing food to welfare facilities and community support centers often relied on government subsidies or manual efforts by individual organizations, making it difficult to ensure continuous supply and fair distribution. Furthermore, the burden of coordinating with the donors and the lack of information sharing at target facilities were also issues, creating a need for an automated system that would provide timely supplies to facilities in need. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Patent Publication No. 7438091 (paragraphs 0009 to 0013, Figure 2) discloses a system for accepting applications for food provision, but does not include a system for determining support priorities for each facility or automatic matching with suppliers. [Patent Document 2] Patent Publication No. 7092868 (paragraphs 0010 to 0015, Figure 4) discloses a notification system that includes a delivery support structure, but does not support support collaboration for social return purposes or integration with local government information. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] The problems with food supply to support facilities were that it was handled individually, which made it inefficient and lacked continuity, the burden of coordinating with suppliers was heavy, it was difficult to determine support priorities, and there were limited means of notification and reporting. This invention provides a support-type delivery system that solves these problems in an integrated manner. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] The present invention comprises a support management database that records the registration information of support recipient facilities, the support requests, and local support conditions, and a supply selection mechanism that determines the food to be supplied and the delivery frequency according to the attributes of each facility.

[0006] The supply selection mechanism dynamically adjusts the type, quantity, and frequency of food required based on facility type, improving the consistency between supply and demand.

[0007] In addition, it will have a decision support mechanism that will determine the support priority and supply approval for each facility based on linked data provided by government agencies, welfare organizations, etc.

[0008] This system has a control function that accumulates information such as food supply history, non-delivery rate, and satisfaction ratings, and learns to optimize the content and timing of future deliveries.

[0009] The facility also has a support and coordination organization that matches suppliers such as farmers, food businesses, and processors based on their surplus inventory and willingness to provide support, and supplies the facilities with food free of charge or with subsidies.

[0010] In addition, it is equipped with a notification collaboration mechanism that provides notification, suggestions, and confirmation functions via voice or text using character AI to both the target facility and the supplier. [Effects of the Invention]

[0011] This invention streamlines the supply of food to support facilities and facilitates smooth collaboration with suppliers. Collaboration with local communities and governments ensures fairness in support, making it a highly practical model for sustainable social contribution. Furthermore, notifications and coordination are handled through an interactive character AI, reducing the psychological burden on those involved and facilitating its implementation in welfare settings. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0012] An embodiment of the present invention will be described below. This system consolidates registration information for supported facilities, facility type, regional support status, supplier inventory, and partner organization information on the cloud, and consists of a delivery control server that automatically determines the supply content, a character AI module, a support source collaboration database, and a notification terminal.

[0013] The food to be supplied is selected based on the registration status and requests of each facility, and the frequency and contents of deliveries are determined. Support priority is automatically determined based on information from government or welfare organizations.

[0014] Suppliers can register their excess inventory or their intention to provide support, which will allow them to be matched with eligible facilities and provide supplies free of charge or with subsidies.

[0015] Notifications are sent via character AI, and both facility and supplier sides can communicate in natural language to make suggestions, confirm, change, report, etc. This ensures the sustainability and smooth operation of support provision.

Claims

1. This is a delivery support system for supplying food products, and is a social return / facility supply support structure characterized by having a support management database that stores and manages the type of facility to be supported, the desired support content, and support level assessment information, and a supply selection mechanism that determines the delivery target and supply amount based on the registration information of the target facility and the regional support conditions.

2. This is the social return / supply support structure for facilities described in claim 1, characterized in that the supply selection mechanism dynamically adjusts the type, quantity, and delivery frequency of the required food depending on the type of facility, such as a children's cafeteria, a facility for the elderly, a facility for supporting people with disabilities, or a school.

3. This is a social return / facility supply support structure as described in claim 1 or 2, characterized in that the delivery support system is equipped with a judgment support mechanism that determines the support priority and whether or not supply permission is granted for each facility based on collaborative information provided by administrative agencies, local governments, welfare organizations, etc.

4. This is a social return / facility supply support structure described in any one of claims 1 to 3, characterized in that the delivery support system is equipped with a learning control mechanism that accumulates historical information such as food supply results, receipt records, satisfaction levels, and non-delivery rates, and uses this information to optimize the supply content and delivery timing for future deliveries.

5. This is a social return / supply support structure for facilities described in any one of claims 1 to 4, characterized in that the delivery support system is equipped with a support collaboration mechanism that matches supplier businesses, farmers, and food processors, reflecting their surplus inventory or willingness to provide support, and enables food to be delivered to facilities free of charge or with a subsidy.

6. The social return / facility supply support structure described in any one of claims 1 to 5 is characterized in that the delivery support system is equipped with a notification collaboration mechanism that enables notification of support implementation details, delivery schedules, confirmation notifications, etc. between the target facility or the support provider by voice or text via an interactive character AI.
