[0056] In this disclosure, a delivery person means an operator who picks up ordered goods at a pickup location and delivers them to a delivery location based on order information provided in an e-commerce service. In this disclosure, a user means a user of the server device 110 or the delivery person terminal 120. A user in this disclosure may be distinguished from the delivery person, although a delivery person in this disclosure may also be a user in this disclosure. That is, a delivery person in this disclosure may be provided with delivery service information using the delivery person terminal 120 in this disclosure through the method of providing the delivery service interface in this disclosure.

[0057] Figure 2 shows one embodiment of the first delivery service interface 200 and the first assignment confirmation interface 230 of the method for providing the delivery service interface according to this disclosure.

[0058] In one embodiment, the processor 111 of the server device 110 can assign a first delivery task set, which includes at least one delivery task, to a delivery person, and can provide delivery task information relating to the first delivery task set to the delivery person terminal 120. In addition, the processor 121 of the delivery person terminal 120 can provide a first delivery task interface 200 for the first delivery task set, which includes at least one delivery task.

[0059] Specifically, the first delivery operation interface 200 can display delivery operation information relating to the first delivery operation set. For example, the first delivery operation interface 200 may include a map area 210. The map area 210 may display at least a portion of the delivery operation information relating to the first delivery operation set. For example, the map area 210 may display one or more of the following: the current location of the delivery person 211, the location of the pickup location for the delivery (not shown), the location of the delivery location 212, and the delivery route 218 connecting the locations.

[0060] Furthermore, the first delivery service interface 200 may include an information display area 220. The information display area 220 may display at least a portion of the delivery service information relating to the first delivery service set. For example, the information display area 220 may display one or more of the following: information such as the address of the pickup location (not shown), information such as the address of the delivery location 221, and information on the buyer's requirements 222.

[0061] In one embodiment, the processor 111 of the server device 110 can confirm the pickup of items to be delivered for a first delivery task set, and based on the confirmation, can provide delivery task information relating to a second delivery task set, which includes at least one delivery task, to the delivery person terminal 120. Furthermore, if the pickup of items to be delivered for the first delivery task set is confirmed, the processor 121 of the delivery person terminal 120 can provide a first assignment confirmation interface 230 for the second delivery task set within the first hour, based on the delivery task information relating to the second delivery task set, which includes at least one delivery task. In addition, delivery task information relating to the second delivery task set may be provided to the delivery person terminal 120 within the first hour.

[0062] In one embodiment, the processor 121 of the delivery terminal 120 can receive user input regarding the pickup of items to be delivered and confirm the pickup of the items. The delivery terminal 120 can provide the user or delivery person with a user interface for receiving user input regarding the pickup of items to be delivered. User input may be the touching of a button such as "Pickup Confirmation". For example, a button such as "Pickup Confirmation" may be included in the user interface. The user or delivery person can pick up the items to be delivered and touch a button such as "Pickup Confirmation". Subsequently, the processor 121 of the delivery terminal 120 can send information regarding the receipt of user input to the server device 110. The processor 111 of the server device 110 can confirm the information regarding the receipt of user input received from the delivery terminal 120 and confirm the pickup of the items to be delivered.

[0063] For example, the first assignment confirmation interface 230 may display at least a portion of the delivery work information relating to the second delivery work set. In one embodiment, the processor 121 of the delivery person terminal 120 may provide reward information to be paid upon completion of delivery for the second delivery work set and delivery distance information relating to the second delivery work set. For example, the first assignment confirmation interface 230 may display one or more of the following: reward information 231 to be paid to the delivery person upon completion of the second delivery work set, pickup location information 232 relating to the second delivery work set, and delivery distance information 233 relating to the second delivery work set. This has the advantage of helping the user or delivery person to assign the second delivery work set to the delivery person by referring to the reward information to be paid upon completion of delivery for the second delivery work set and the delivery distance information relating to the second delivery work set.

[0064] The delivery distance information 233 may mean the straight-line distance or route distance from the pickup location for the second delivery set to the delivery location for the second delivery set. Alternatively, the delivery distance information 233 may mean the straight-line distance or route distance from the delivery location for the first delivery set, via the pickup location for the second delivery set, to the delivery location for the second delivery set. The route distance may mean the distance of the shortest path formed along the roadway.

[0065] Furthermore, for example, the first assignment confirmation interface 230 may include an assignment acceptance button 235 for assigning a second delivery task to a delivery person. In response to user input of touching the assignment acceptance button 235, the second delivery task set can be assigned to the delivery person. Specifically, when the processor 121 of the delivery person terminal 120 confirms a first user input of touching the assignment acceptance button 235 to the first assignment confirmation interface 230, the processor 121 of the delivery person terminal 120 can send information about the first user input to the server device 110, and the processor 111 of the server device 110 can assign the second delivery task set to the delivery person in response to the first user input. That is, the processor 111 of the server device 110 can assign the second delivery task set to the delivery person based on the delivery person terminal 120's response to the delivery task information regarding the second delivery task set.

[0066] In one embodiment, the first assignment confirmation interface 230 may be displayed only for a period of one hour, and once the first hour has expired, the first assignment confirmation interface 230 may be hidden. When the first assignment confirmation interface 230 is hidden, the assignment acceptance button 235 is also hidden, so the user may not be able to touch the assignment acceptance button 235. The first hour may be a period of several seconds, tens of seconds, or several minutes from the time the first assignment confirmation interface 230 is first displayed, but preferably the first hour may be a period of 5 seconds, 10 seconds, 15 seconds, 20 seconds, 30 seconds, 40 seconds, 50 seconds, or 60 seconds from the time the first assignment confirmation interface 230 is first displayed, and more preferably the first hour may be a period of 30 seconds or 40 seconds from the time the first assignment confirmation interface 230 is first displayed. In this way, limiting the display period of the first assignment confirmation interface 230 has the advantage that the assignment of delivery work can be facilitated. Furthermore, by limiting the display period of the first assignment confirmation interface 230, the time that delivery personnel spend looking at the first delivery operation interface 200 may be reduced, which has the advantage of allowing delivery personnel to have more time to look ahead while driving and perform delivery work safely.

[0067] In one embodiment, the processor 121 of the delivery person terminal 120 can provide information regarding the remaining time until the first time has elapsed. For example, the first assignment confirmation interface 230 may display a number in seconds indicating the remaining time until the first time expires.

[0068] To give another example, the first assignment confirmation interface 230 may include a first background area 230a and a second background area 230b, which are demarcated by a boundary 230c. In this case, the size of the first assignment confirmation interface 230 may correspond to the first time, the size of the first background area 230a may correspond to the period from the start time of the first time to the current time, and the size of the second background area 230b may correspond to the period remaining from the current time until the end time of the first time. For example, in Figure 2, the boundary 230c may move to the right as time passes, the first background area 230a may gradually expand, and the second background area 230b may gradually shrink. This has the advantage of intuitively providing the user or delivery person with information about the remaining time until the end of the first time, thereby aiding their understanding.

[0069] If the second delivery task set is assigned to a delivery person even though there is a relatively large amount of time remaining until the estimated arrival time for the first delivery task set, a problem may arise where even a slight delay in the delivery of the first delivery task set may also delay the delivery of the second delivery task set. To prevent this problem, in one embodiment, the processor 111 of the server device 110 can assign the second delivery task set based on the remaining time until the estimated arrival time for the first delivery task set. Specifically, if the remaining time until the estimated arrival time for the first delivery task set is within a previously set time, the processor 111 of the server device 110 can provide delivery task information regarding the second delivery task set to the delivery person terminal 120. For example, if the remaining time until the estimated arrival time for the first delivery task set is within 8 minutes, the first assignment confirmation interface 230 for the second delivery task set may be displayed on the delivery person terminal 120, and the second delivery task set may be assigned to the delivery person in response to user or delivery person input.

[0070] In one embodiment, the first delivery operation interface 200 may include a guidance area 240. The guidance area 240 may include guidance information such as instructing the delivery person to look at the first assignment confirmation interface 230 or the first delivery operation interface 200 after the delivery vehicle has come to a stop. The guidance area 240 has the advantage of preventing accidents involving delivery vehicles and ensuring the safety of delivery people by guiding the delivery person not to look at the first assignment confirmation interface 230 or the first delivery operation interface 200 while the delivery vehicle is in motion.

[0071] In one embodiment, the processor 111 of the server device 110 can identify a second delivery task set from among at least one delivery task set having a pickup location within a predetermined distance from the delivery location for the first delivery task set. That is, the distance from the delivery location for the first delivery task set to the pickup location for the second delivery task set may be within a predetermined distance. For example, the predetermined distance may be several kilometers, preferably 2 kilometers. This has the advantage of preventing the problem of a second delivery task set being assigned to a delivery person at an excessively far distance, which would cause delays in deliveries to the second delivery task set.

[0072] In one embodiment, the processor 111 of the server device 110 can also identify a delivery work set as the second delivery work set from among a plurality of delivery work sets having pickup locations within a predetermined distance from the delivery location of the first delivery work set, and the delivery work set having a pickup location that is approximately the shortest distance away from the delivery location of the first delivery work set.

[0073] In one embodiment, the pre-set distance may be set based on the remaining time until the expected arrival time for the first delivery set. Specifically, the pre-set distance may increase as the remaining time until the expected arrival time for the first delivery set decreases. For example, if the remaining time is between 0 and 2 minutes, the pre-set distance may be 2 km; if the remaining time is between 2 and 4 minutes, the pre-set distance may be 1.5 km; if the remaining time is between 4 and 6 minutes, the pre-set distance may be 1 km; and if the remaining time is between 6 and 8 minutes, the pre-set distance may be 0.5 km. Alternatively, for example, the pre-set distance and remaining time may follow the relationship (pre-set distance (km)) = -a * (remaining time (minutes)) + c (for example, a is 0.25 and c is an integer between 2 and 2.5, but is not limited to this).

[0074] Figure 3 shows one embodiment of the first assignment confirmation interface 300 for the method of providing delivery service information according to the present disclosure. Figure 3 shows an embodiment in which the second delivery service set includes the first delivery service and the second delivery service. The first assignment confirmation interface 300 can display delivery service information relating to the second delivery service set. The first assignment confirmation interface 230 shown in Figure 2 and the first assignment confirmation interface 300 shown in Figure 3 can be distinguished from each other. In one embodiment, the first assignment confirmation interface 300 shown in Figure 3 may be displayed instead of the first assignment confirmation interface 230 shown in Figure 2. Also, in one embodiment, the first assignment confirmation interface 300 shown in Figure 3 may be displayed in response to a delivery person or user input touching the first assignment confirmation interface 230 shown in Figure 2. The first assignment confirmation interface 300 shown in Figure 3 may include a larger area than the first assignment confirmation interface 230 in Figure 2, and the first assignment confirmation interface 300 may also provide more information than the information shown in the first assignment confirmation interface 230. This has the advantage of providing delivery information for the second delivery task set in stages, allowing users or delivery personnel to view detailed information only when needed. Specifically, since the first assignment confirmation interface 230 shown in Figure 2 occupies an even smaller area than the first assignment confirmation interface 300 shown in Figure 3, the provision of delivery information for the first delivery task set through the first delivery task interface 200 shown in Figure 2 is slightly hindered, although the provision and assignment of delivery information for the second delivery task set can still be done through the first assignment confirmation interface 230. Furthermore, by touching the first assignment confirmation interface 230 and confirming the first assignment confirmation interface 300 shown in Figure 3, users or delivery personnel can be provided with more detailed information about the second delivery task set, which can help them decide whether or not they are assigned to the second delivery task set.

[0075] For example, the first assignment confirmation interface 300 may include a map area 310. The map area 310 may display at least some of the delivery work information relating to the second delivery work set. For example, the map area 310 may display the current location of the delivery person 311, the locations of the pickup locations to be delivered 313, 314, the locations of the delivery locations 315, 316, and one or more of the delivery routes 318, 319 connecting at least two of the aforementioned locations.

[0076] In one embodiment, the processor 121 of the delivery terminal 120 can provide a second delivery route 319 for a second set of delivery tasks, extending from a first delivery route 318 for a first set of delivery tasks. This has the advantage that the user or delivery person can accurately see the route they must take to complete the subsequent second set of delivery tasks after completing the first set of delivery tasks. In another embodiment, the second set of delivery tasks includes a first set of delivery tasks and a second set of delivery tasks, and the processor 121 of the delivery terminal 120 can provide a route connecting a first pickup location 313 for the first set of delivery tasks, a second pickup location 314 for the second set of delivery tasks, a first delivery location 315 for the first set of delivery tasks, and a second delivery location 316 for the second set of delivery tasks. This allows the delivery person to be assigned two or more sets of delivery tasks at once, and to pick up all the items for each of the two or more delivery tasks before making the delivery of each item. In other words, by having delivery personnel perform the pickup and delivery of one delivery task, and then the pickup and delivery of another delivery task, they can save potentially wasted movement or time when performing two or more identical delivery tasks.

[0077] The first delivery route 318 shown in Figure 3 corresponds to the route from the current location 311 to the delivery location 312 for the first delivery work set. The first delivery route 318 may also be shown to pass through the pickup location for the first delivery work set. The second delivery route 319 shown in Figure 3 corresponds to the route from the delivery location 312 for the first delivery work set to the second delivery location 316 for the second delivery work set, passing through the first pickup location 313, the second pickup location 314, and the first delivery location 315. Here, the first pickup location 313 and the first delivery location 315 may relate to the first delivery work included in the second delivery work set. The second pickup location 314 and the second delivery location 316 may relate to the second delivery work included in the second delivery work set. The second delivery route 319 shown in Figure 3 is shown as visiting the first pickup location 313, the second pickup location 314, the first delivery location 315, and the second delivery location 316 in that order, but the order in which the first pickup location 313, the second pickup location 314, the first delivery location 315, and the second delivery location 316 are visited is not limited to this. That is, it is sufficient for the second delivery route 319 to be configured such that each delivery location is visited before the corresponding pickup location on the second delivery route 319.

[0078] In one embodiment, the first assignment confirmation interface 300 may include one or more of the following: pickup location information 301 related to the second delivery work set, reward information 302 to be paid upon completion of delivery of the second delivery work set, and delivery distance information 303 related to the second delivery work set.

[0079] The delivery distance information 303 may mean the straight-line distance or route distance from the pickup location for the second delivery set to the delivery location for the second delivery set. Alternatively, the delivery distance information 303 may mean the straight-line distance or route distance from the delivery location for the first delivery set, via the pickup location for the second delivery set, to the delivery location for the second delivery set. The route distance may mean the distance of the shortest path formed along the roadway.

[0080] In one embodiment, the first assignment confirmation interface 300 may include additional payment information 304 and a button 305 included in the reward for the second delivery work set. In response to the user touching the button 305, an interface may be displayed separately that shows the detailed amount for the additional payment information 304.

[0081] In one embodiment, the processor 121 of the delivery person terminal 120 can provide mission progress information and reward information to be paid upon mission completion for the delivery person. For example, the first assignment confirmation interface 300 may include a mission display area 320. The mission display area 320 may display one or more of the following: information 322 on the number of remaining delivery tasks that the delivery person must complete to complete the mission, and information 323 on the time period during which the mission can be performed. The mission display area 320 may also provide the progress of the mission in the form of a mission progress bar 321. That is, the mission progress bar 321 may be colored in accordance with the ratio of the number of delivery tasks already completed to the total number of delivery tasks that the delivery person must complete to complete the mission. This has the advantage of guiding the user or delivery person to receive an assignment for a second set of delivery tasks in order to earn a reward for completing the mission.

[0082] In one embodiment, the first assignment confirmation interface 300 may be displayed only for a period of one hour or less, and may become invisible once the first hour or less has expired. The first hour is the same as the first hour for the first assignment confirmation interface 230 described with reference to Figure 2.

[0083] In one embodiment, the sum of the display times of the first assignment confirmation interface 230 shown in Figure 2 and the first assignment confirmation interface 300 shown in Figure 3 may be limited to a first hour.

[0084] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the display time of the first assignment confirmation interface 230 shown in Figure 2 may be limited to a period shorter than the first time by a predetermined amount of time. For example, if the first time is the period corresponding to 40 seconds from the initial display of the first assignment confirmation interface 230, the display time of the first assignment confirmation interface 230 may be the period corresponding to 30 seconds from the initial display of the first assignment confirmation interface 230. This has the advantage of guiding the user or delivery person to touch the first assignment confirmation interface 230 within 30 seconds, thereby ensuring that the display time of the first assignment confirmation interface 300 is such that it can be displayed for at least 40-30=10 seconds.

[0085] In one embodiment, the first assignment confirmation interface 300 may include a progress bar 330 corresponding to a first time. The length of the first portion 330a of the progress bar 330 may correspond to the size of the first background region 230a shown in Figure 2, and the length of the second portion 330b may correspond to the size of the second background region 230b shown in Figure 2.

[0086] In one embodiment, after the first time has elapsed, the processor 111 of the server device 110 may also provide delivery service information relating to a third set of delivery services, which includes at least one delivery service. The delivery service information relating to the third set of delivery services may be provided in the same or similar manner as the method for providing the delivery service information relating to the second set of delivery services described in Figures 2 and 3.

[0087] In one embodiment, the first assignment confirmation interface 300 may include an assignment acceptance button 306 for assigning a second delivery work set to a delivery person. The processor 111 of the server device 110 can assign the second delivery work set to a delivery person in response to a user input of touching the assignment acceptance button 306. Specifically, when the processor 121 of the delivery person terminal 120 confirms a first user input of touching the assignment acceptance button 306 to the first assignment confirmation interface 300, the processor 121 of the delivery person terminal 120 can send information about the first user input to the server device 110, and the processor 111 of the server device 110 can assign the second delivery work set to the delivery person in response to the first user input. That is, the processor 111 of the server device 110 can assign the second delivery work set to a delivery person based on the delivery person terminal 120's response to the delivery work information regarding the second delivery work set.

[0088] In one embodiment, the processor 111 of the server device 110 can provide delivery information relating to a third set of delivery tasks, including at least one delivery task, in response to a second user input within a first time. Specifically, if the processor 121 of the delivery person terminal 120 confirms a second user input of touching the assignment reject button 307, the processor 121 of the delivery person terminal 120 can transmit information regarding the second user input to the server device 110, and the processor 111 of the server device 110 can provide the delivery person terminal 120 with delivery information relating to the third set of delivery tasks in response to the second user input. For example, the first assignment confirmation interface 300 may include an assignment reject button 307 for rejecting the assignment of the second set of delivery tasks to a delivery person. The processor 111 of the server device 110 may not assign the second set of delivery tasks to the delivery person in response to a user input of touching the assignment reject button 307. Subsequently, the processor 111 of the server device 110 can provide delivery information relating to the third set of delivery tasks. Delivery service information for the third delivery service set may be provided in the same or similar manner as the method of providing delivery service information for the second delivery service set described in Figures 2 and 3.

[0089] Figure 4 shows one embodiment of the first delivery service interface 400 and the second delivery service interface 430 relating to the method of providing delivery service information according to this disclosure. The first delivery service interface 400 may correspond to the first delivery service interface 200 shown in Figure 2.

[0090] The first delivery operation interface 400 may include a map area 410. The map area 410 may correspond to the map area 210 shown in Figure 2. The map area 410 may display at least some of the delivery operation information relating to the first delivery operation set. For example, the map area 410 may display one or more of the following: the current location of the delivery person 411, the location of the pickup location for the delivery target for the first delivery operation set (not shown), the location of the delivery location 412, and the delivery route 418 connecting the locations. The map area 410 may also display one or more of the following for the second delivery operation set: the location of the pickup location for the delivery target 413, the location of the delivery location (not shown), and the delivery route 419 connecting the locations.

[0091] In one embodiment, the processor 121 of the delivery person terminal 120 can provide a second delivery task interface 430 for the second delivery task set based on the delivery person input to the first assignment confirmation interfaces 230, 300. The first delivery task interface 400 may be included in the second delivery task interface 430. The second delivery task interface 430 may be displayed in response to user input such as touching the assignment acceptance button 235 shown in Figure 2 or the assignment acceptance button 306 shown in Figure 3.

[0092] The second delivery interface 430 can display some of the delivery information related to the second delivery set. For example, the second delivery interface 430 can display pickup location information related to the second delivery set. The second delivery interface 430 may also include a button 432.

[0093] Figure 5 shows one embodiment of the second delivery service interface 500 regarding the method for providing delivery service information according to this disclosure. The second delivery service interface 500 shown in Figure 5 can be distinguished from the second delivery service interface 430 shown in Figure 4. For example, the second delivery service interface 500 may be displayed in response to user input such as touching the button 432 shown in Figure 4. In one embodiment, the processor 121 of the delivery person terminal 120 may also provide the second delivery service interface 500 to the second delivery service set based on delivery person input to the first assignment confirmation interfaces 230 and 300.

[0094] The second delivery interface 500 can display at least some of the delivery information relating to the second delivery set. For example, the second delivery interface 500 can display one or more of the following: guidance information 501, pickup location information 502, pickup location address information 503, a photograph of the pickup location 504, additional information 505, and parking information 506 relating to the pickup location. On the other hand, to prevent problems such as delivery personnel checking information about the items to be delivered for the second delivery set (e.g., type, quantity, or weight of ordered items) and canceling the assignment of the first or second delivery set, some information, such as information about the items to be delivered for the second delivery set, may be set not to be displayed on the second delivery interface 500. This information may be provided once the delivery for the first delivery set is completed and the delivery of the second delivery set has begun.

[0095] In one embodiment, the second delivery work interface 500 may include an assignment cancel button 507. In response to user input by touching the assignment cancel button 507, the assignment of the second delivery work set can be canceled.

[0096] In one embodiment, the second delivery interface 500 may include a customer center contact button 508. In response to user input by touching the customer center contact button 508, the delivery person terminal 120 can send or receive a phone call, SMS (Short Message Service) message, or chat to the customer center of the e-commerce service provider.

[0097] The second delivery operations interface 500 can include a larger area than the second delivery operations interface 430 in Figure 4, and can also provide more information than the information shown in the second delivery operations interface 430. This has the advantage of providing delivery operations information for the second delivery operations set in stages, and allowing users or delivery personnel to view detailed information about the delivery operations related to the second delivery operations set only when needed. That is, since the second delivery operations interface 430 shown in Figure 4 occupies a relatively smaller area than the second delivery operations interface 500 shown in Figure 5, the provision of delivery operations information for the first delivery operations set through the first delivery operations interface 400 shown in Figure 4 can be slightly hindered, although the provision of delivery operations information for the second delivery operations set can still be done through the second delivery operations interface 430.

[0098] Figure 6 shows one embodiment of the first delivery service interface 600 regarding the method for providing delivery service information related to this disclosure. The first delivery service interface 600 shown in Figure 6 may correspond to the first delivery service interface 400 shown in Figure 4.

[0099] In one embodiment, the processor 111 of the server device 110 may cancel the assignment of the second delivery task set if a pre-set time has elapsed from the expected arrival time for the first delivery task set and the delivery of the first delivery task set has not been completed. The pre-set time may be several tens of seconds, several minutes, or several tens of minutes from the expected arrival time for the first delivery task set. This has the advantage that if the delivery of the first delivery task set is delayed, the assignment of the second delivery task set to the delivery person can be canceled and the second delivery task set can be assigned to another delivery person, thereby preventing delays in the delivery of the second delivery task set. If the assignment of the second delivery task set is canceled, a guidance area 610 may be displayed on the first delivery task interface 600.

[0100] Figure 7 shows one embodiment of the first delivery service interface 700 regarding the method for providing delivery service information related to this disclosure. The first delivery service interface 700 shown in Figure 7 may correspond to the first delivery service interface 400 shown in Figure 4.

[0101] In one embodiment, the processor 111 of the server device 110 may cancel the assignment of the second delivery task set if the assignment of the first delivery task set is canceled. If the assignment of the second delivery task set is canceled, a guide area 710 may be displayed on the first delivery task interface 700.

[0102] Figure 8 shows one embodiment of the first delivery service interface 800 regarding the method for providing delivery service information according to this disclosure. In one embodiment, when delivery to the first delivery service set is completed, the processor 121 of the delivery person terminal 120 can provide information regarding the first delivery service set. For example, the first delivery service interface 800 may include reward information 801, reward details 802, and a mission display area 810 that are provided upon completion of delivery to the first delivery service set.

[0103] In one embodiment, the first delivery task interface 800 may include a start button 820 for a second delivery task set. In response to user input by touching the start button 820 for the second delivery task set, a delivery task related to the second delivery task set already assigned to the delivery person may be initiated, and delivery task information related to the second delivery task set may be provided through an interface similar to the first delivery task interface 200 shown in Figure 2.

[0104] In one embodiment, the touchable time for the start button 820 of the second delivery work set may be limited. The start button 820 of the second delivery work set may include a first part 820a and a second part 820b, which are separated by a boundary 820c, and the boundary 820c may move to the right over time. Once the touchable time for the start button 820 of the second delivery work set has elapsed, the first delivery work interface 800 may be hidden and the second delivery work set may be started.

[0105] Figure 9 shows one embodiment of the third delivery service interface 900 according to the method for providing a delivery service interface according to this disclosure. In one embodiment, the processor 121 of the delivery person terminal 120 can display the third delivery service interface 900 for a first set of delivery services in a first area of ​​the screen of the delivery person terminal 120 while the first application is running in the background. For example, the first delivery service interfaces 200, 400, 600, 700, 800, the first assignment confirmation interfaces 230, 300, and the second delivery service interfaces 430, 500 shown in Figures 2 to 8 may correspond to the interfaces of the first application. When a third-party application distinct from the first application is running and the interface 9 of the third-party application is displayed on the screen, or the wallpaper of the delivery person terminal 120 is displayed on the screen, the first application may be switched to background mode and run in the background. In other words, in this case, at least part or all of the first delivery operations interfaces 200, 400, 600, 700, 800, the first assignment confirmation interfaces 230, 300, and the second delivery operations interfaces 430, 500 may not be displayed on the screen. In this case, the third delivery operations interface 900 may be displayed in the first area of ​​the screen. For example, if the interface 9 of a third-party application is displayed on the screen, the third delivery operations interface 900 may be overlaid on the interface 9 of the third-party application and displayed in the first area of ​​the screen. The third delivery operations interface 900 may display at least part of the delivery operations information related to the first delivery operations set. The third delivery operations interface 900 may include a floating window. This has the advantage that information about delivery operations is provided even if the user or delivery person leaves the delivery operations application and uses a third-party application.

[0106] In one embodiment, the first area on which the third delivery service interface 900 is displayed may be configured to be movable, expanded, or reduced in response to user input or updates to delivery service information relating to the first delivery service set. For example, the processor 121 of the delivery terminal 120 may move the position of the first area on which the third delivery service interface 900 is displayed in response to user touch-and-drag input to that area. Alternatively, for example, the processor 121 of the delivery terminal 120 may expand or reduce the position of the first area on which the third delivery service interface 900 is displayed in response to user touch-and-drag or pinch input to the edge of that area. Based on the size of the first area on which the third delivery service interface 900 is displayed, expanded or reduced by user input, more or less delivery service information relating to the first delivery service set may be displayed on the third delivery service interface 900. This has the advantage that delivery service information for the first delivery service set can be provided according to the user's preferences and the amount of information provided.

[0107] In one embodiment, the third delivery service interface 900 may be configured to remain visible despite user input in the remaining area, excluding the first area where the third delivery service interface 900 is displayed. This has the advantage that even if the user interacts with the interface 9 of a third-party application, the third delivery service interface 900 will not be interrupted, and delivery service information regarding the first delivery service set can be continuously provided.

[0108] Furthermore, for example, the processor 121 of the delivery terminal 120 can display the first delivery operations interfaces 200, 400, 600, 700, 800, the first assignment confirmation interfaces 230, 300, or the second delivery operations interfaces 430, 500 in response to user touch input to the third delivery operations interface 900.

[0109] Figure 10 shows various embodiments of the third delivery service interfaces 1001 and 1002 relating to the method of providing delivery service information according to this disclosure. The third delivery service interfaces 1001 and 1002 shown in Figure 10 may be displayed when there are no delivery tasks assigned to a delivery person. For example, the third delivery service interface 1001 may display one or more of the following: e-commerce business information 1011, delivery volume information 1021 relating to the delivery area to which the delivery person belongs, reward information 1031 for delivery tasks assigned in the delivery area, icons 1041, and delivery area information 1051. Also, for example, the third delivery service interface 1002 may display one or more of the following: e-commerce business information 1012, delivery area recommendation information 1022 relating to the delivery area to which the delivery person belongs, icons 1042, and delivery area information 1052.

[0110] Figure 11a shows one embodiment of the second assignment confirmation interface 1100 for the method of providing delivery service information according to the present disclosure. In one embodiment, if the pickup of items to be delivered for the first delivery service set is confirmed while the first application is running in the background, the processor 121 of the delivery person terminal 120 may display the second assignment confirmation interface 1100 for the second delivery service set in a first area of ​​the screen of the delivery person terminal 120 during the first time period, based on the delivery service information for the second delivery service set. Specifically, the second assignment confirmation interface 1100 may be displayed as an overlay on the interface 11a of a third-party application. The second assignment confirmation interface 1100 may correspond to or be a sub-concept of the third delivery service interface 900 shown in Figure 9. That is, the second assignment confirmation interface 1100 may have all the features of the third delivery service interface 900 described with reference to Figure 9.
