DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0011] A delivery box dispatch system, a delivery box dispatch device, and a delivery box dispatch program according to an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings. Note that the components in the following embodiments include those that are replaceable and easy for a person skilled in the art, or those that are substantially the same.

[0012] (Delivery Box Dispatch System) A configuration of a delivery box dispatching system including a delivery box dispatching device according to an embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 1 and Fig. 2. The delivery box dispatching system 1 is for dispatching a delivery box for storing a package to be delivered to a user by using an autonomously traveling mobile body.

[0013] As shown in Fig. 1, the delivery box dispatching system 1 has a center server 10, a mobile body 20 consisting of a drive unit 21 and a dolly 22, and a terminal 30. The delivery box dispatching device according to the embodiment is realized by the function of the center server 10 in the delivery box dispatching system 1. The center server 10, the mobile body 20, and the terminal 30 all have a communication function and are configured to be able to communicate with each other through a network NW. This network NW is configured, for example, from an Internet line network, a mobile phone line network, or the like.

[0014] In the delivery box dispatch system 1, a plurality of carts 22 that can be connected to the drive unit 21 are dispatched alternately as delivery boxes. In this embodiment, an example in which two carts 22 are dispatched alternately as delivery boxes will be described, but the number of carts 22 used as delivery boxes may be two or more. In addition, in this embodiment, an example in which the carts 22 are dispatched one by one will be described, but two or more carts 22 may be dispatched at a time. In addition, in this embodiment, an example in which two carts 22 are transported alternately by one drive unit 21 will be described, but the number of drive units 21 that transport the carts 22 may be two or more.

[0015] Examples of locations where the dolly 22 serving as a delivery box is dispatched and placed (hereinafter referred to as "placement location") include in front of the house where the user lives, the lobby of an apartment complex (condominium, apartment), a plaza on the grounds of an apartment complex, a park near the house or apartment complex where the user lives, a meeting place, a public or private parking lot, a plaza on the grounds of a public facility, etc. Furthermore, the user may manually collect the package from the dolly 22, or a small delivery device or the like may be used to load and unload the package from the dolly 22 and deliver it to the user's house. Each component of the delivery box dispatch system 1 will now be described.

[0016] (Center server) The center server 10 remotely controls the drive unit 21 and transports the cart 22 to a predetermined location. The center server 10 is provided, for example, in a management company (e.g., a dealer) that manages the drive unit 21 and the cart 22, or in a parcel delivery company. The center server 10 is realized, for example, by a general-purpose computer such as a workstation or a personal computer.

[0017] 2, the center server 10 includes a control unit 11, a communication unit 12, and a storage unit 13. Specifically, the control unit 11 includes a processor including a CPU (Central Processing Unit), a DSP (Digital Signal Processor), an FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array), a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit), etc., and a memory (main storage unit) including a RAM (Random Access Memory), a ROM (Read Only Memory), etc.

[0018] The control unit 11 loads a program stored in the memory unit 13 into a working area of ​​the main memory unit, executes it, and realizes a function that meets a predetermined purpose by controlling each component part through the execution of the program. The control unit 11 functions as a drive unit control unit 111 through the execution of the program stored in the memory unit 13.

[0019] The drive unit control unit 111 outputs an instruction to the drive unit 21 to alternately transport the first cart 22 and the second cart 22 to a preset location. Then, the drive unit control unit 111 outputs an instruction to the drive unit 21 to transport the first cart 22 or the second cart 22 from which the delivery parcel has been collected by the user to a preset waiting location. Examples of this "waiting location" include a site managed by a management company and a delivery base (office) managed by a parcel delivery company.

[0020] Specifically, the drive unit control unit 111 performs the processes shown in (1) to (9) below to dispatch two carts 22 as delivery boxes. Note that the processes (1) to (9) described below are all performed mainly by the drive unit control unit 111.

[0021] (1) A movement instruction is output to the drive unit 21 to move the drive unit 21 coupled to the first cart 22 to the installation location. This "movement instruction" is also a transport instruction to transport the first cart 22 to the installation location. The "movement instruction" includes, for example, information about the installation location to which the drive unit 21 is to be directed (for example, the address of the installation location, etc.), a driving route to the installation location, etc. The drive unit 21 and the first cart 22 may be coupled by, for example, a delivery company staff member manually, or may be coupled using a dedicated robot, etc.

[0022] (2) After the first cart 22 is placed at the placement location, a movement instruction is output to the drive unit 21 to move the drive unit 21, which has been separated from the first cart 22, to a waiting location. This "movement instruction" includes, for example, information about the waiting location to which the drive unit 21 is directed (for example, the address of the waiting location, etc.), a driving route to the waiting location, etc. In addition, the drive unit 21 and the first cart 22 may be separated manually by, for example, a delivery company staff member or a user, or may be separated using a dedicated robot, etc.

[0023] (3) The first cart 22 accepts storage of the delivery parcel by the delivery company staff. This "accepting storage of the delivery parcel" means, for example, making the delivery parcel available to be stored in a parcel storage rack provided on the first cart 22. After the delivery parcel is stored in the rack, the first cart 22 locks (locks, closes) the rack so that, for example, no one other than the user who receives the delivery parcel can access the delivery parcel. The drive unit control unit 111 communicates with the first cart 22 via, for example, the network NW, and transmits an instruction to accept storage of the delivery parcel, thereby accepting storage of the delivery parcel on the first cart 22.

[0024] (4) After a predetermined period of time has elapsed since the first cart 22 was placed at the placement location, a movement instruction is output to the drive unit 21 to move the drive unit 21 connected to the second cart 22 to the placement location. This "movement instruction" is also a transport instruction to transport the second cart 22 to the placement location. The "movement instruction" includes, for example, information on the placement location to which the drive unit 21 is directed (for example, the address of the placement location, etc.), a driving route to the placement location, etc. The drive unit 21 and the second cart 22 may be connected by, for example, a delivery company staff member manually, or may be connected using a dedicated robot, etc. The "predetermined period" may be set to any period of time, and may be set to, for example, one day, three days, one week, etc. For example, if the predetermined period is "one day," the second cart 22 will be dispatched and placed one day after the first cart 22 is dispatched and placed at the placement location.

[0025] (5) After the second cart 22 is placed at the placement location, a movement instruction is output to the drive unit 21 to move the drive unit 21, which has been separated from the second cart 22 and connected to the first cart 22, to the waiting location. This "movement instruction" includes, for example, information about the waiting location to which the drive unit 21 is directed (for example, the address of the waiting location, etc.), a driving route to the waiting location, etc. In addition, the separation of the drive unit 21 from the second cart 22 and the connection of the drive unit 21 to the first cart 22 may be performed manually by, for example, a delivery company staff member or a user, or may be performed using a dedicated robot, etc. In addition, the first cart 22 is transported to the dispatch location by the drive unit 21 after a predetermined period of time has elapsed since it was placed at the placement location, regardless of whether or not there is a delivery parcel remaining in the rack that has not been collected by the user. The delivery parcel remaining on this first cart 22 is placed again at the placement location by the first cart 22 at the next timing (timing (7) below).

[0026] (6) The second cart 22 accepts storage of the delivery parcel by the delivery company staff. This "accepting storage of the delivery parcel" means, for example, making the delivery parcel available to be stored in a parcel storage rack provided on the second cart 22. After the delivery parcel is stored in the rack, the second cart 22 locks (locks, closes) the rack so that, for example, no one other than the user who receives the delivery parcel can access the delivery parcel. The drive unit control unit 111 communicates with the second cart 22 via, for example, the network NW, and transmits an instruction to accept storage of the delivery parcel, thereby accepting storage of the delivery parcel on the second cart 22.

[0027] (7) After a predetermined period of time has elapsed since the second cart 22 was placed at the placement location, a movement instruction is output to the drive unit 21 to move the drive unit 21 connected to the first cart 22 to the placement location. This "movement instruction" includes, for example, information on the placement location to which the drive unit 21 is directed (for example, the address of the placement location, etc.), a driving route to the placement location, etc. In addition, the drive unit 21 and the first cart 22 may be connected, for example, by a delivery company staff member manually, or by using a dedicated robot, etc. In addition, the "predetermined period" may be set to any period of time, and may be set to, for example, one day, three days, one week, etc. For example, if the predetermined period is "one day," the first cart 22 will be dispatched and placed one day after the second cart 22 was dispatched and placed at the placement location. In addition, the first cart 22 contains delivery packages that were not collected at the previous timing (timing (4) above).

[0028] (8) After the first cart 22 is placed at the placement location, a movement instruction is output to the drive unit 21 to move the drive unit 21, which has been separated from the first cart 22 and connected to the second cart 22, to the waiting location. This "movement instruction" includes, for example, information about the waiting location to which the drive unit 21 is directed (for example, the address of the waiting location, etc.), a driving route to the waiting location, etc. In addition, the separation of the drive unit 21 from the first cart 22 and the connection of the drive unit 21 to the second cart 22 may be performed manually by, for example, a delivery company staff member or a user, or may be performed using a dedicated robot, etc. In addition, the second cart 22 is transported to the dispatch location by the drive unit 21 after a predetermined period of time has elapsed since it was placed at the placement location, regardless of whether or not there is any delivery parcel remaining in the rack that has not been collected by the user. The delivery parcel remaining on this second cart 22 is placed again at the placement location by the second cart 22 at the next timing.

[0029] (9) Storage of delivery parcels by the first cart 22 and storage of delivery parcels by the second cart 22 are alternated at predetermined intervals. That is, the drive unit control unit 111 repeatedly performs the processes (1) to (8) at predetermined intervals. In this way, by alternately dispatching multiple carts 22 and using these carts 22 to accept storage of delivery parcels by delivery companies, delivery boxes can be easily added or newly installed in housing such as apartment buildings and detached houses. Also, even when existing delivery boxes are full, it becomes possible to use the carts 22 as delivery boxes.

[0030] Here, when the first trolley 22 and the second trolley 22 are placed at the placement location, the drive unit control unit 111 may accept storage of delivery parcels in the first trolley 22 and the second trolley 22, and may also accept storage of shipping parcels sent by the user.

[0031] In this case, the drive unit control unit 111 accepts storage of the outgoing parcel at the same time as the storage of the delivery parcel at the timing of (3) and (6) above. This "accepting storage of the outgoing parcel" means, for example, making the outgoing parcel available to be stored in the parcel storage rack provided on the first cart 22 and the second cart 22. In addition, after the outgoing parcel is stored in the rack, the first cart 22 and the second cart 22 lock (lock, close) the rack so that the outgoing parcel cannot be accessed by anyone other than the delivery company staff who delivers the outgoing parcel to the delivery destination. The drive unit control unit 111 accepts storage of the outgoing parcel on the first cart 22 and the second cart 22 by communicating with the first cart 22 and the second cart 22, for example, through the network NW and transmitting an instruction to accept storage of the outgoing parcel. Note that when accepting storage of the outgoing parcel, a reservation for storage of the outgoing parcel may be accepted in advance through the user's terminal 30. In this way, by using the multiple carts 22, in addition to storing parcels delivered by the delivery company, the system also accepts storage of parcels to be sent by users, making it possible for users to easily send parcels while collecting parcels delivered, for example, without having to request collection from the delivery company or visit the delivery company's office, etc. This improves user convenience.

[0032] In addition, when the drive unit control unit 111 accepts storage of a delivery parcel in the first cart 22 and the second cart 22, the drive unit control unit 111 may notify the terminal 30 owned by the user of a preset storage period for the delivery parcel. This "storage period for the delivery parcel" refers to the period during which the cart 22 (the first cart 22 or the second cart 22) storing the delivery parcel for the user is placed at the placement location, and is the same period as the above-mentioned "predetermined period." For example, when the predetermined period is "one day," the drive unit control unit 111 notifies the terminal 30 that the storage period for the delivery parcel is "one day." In this way, by notifying the user's terminal 30 of the storage period for the delivery parcel, the user can know that the delivery parcel is being stored in the cart 22, which makes it easier for the user to collect the delivery parcel in the cart 22.

[0033] The communication unit 12 is composed of, for example, a LAN (Local Area Network) interface board, a wireless communication circuit for wireless communication, etc. The communication unit 12 is connected to a network NW such as the Internet, which is a public communication network. The communication unit 12 communicates with the drive unit 21 and the terminal 30 by connecting to the network NW.

[0034] The storage unit 13 is composed of recording media such as an EPROM (Erasable Programmable ROM), a hard disk drive (HDD), and removable media. Examples of removable media include a universal serial bus (USB) memory, a compact disc (CD), a digital versatile disc (DVD), and a Blu-ray (registered trademark) disc (BD). The storage unit 13 can store an operating system (OS), various programs, various tables, various databases, and the like.

[0035] The storage unit 13 stores user information 131. The user information 131 is information about a user who uses the delivery box dispatch service using the mobile object 20. This user information 131 includes information for identifying a user, such as a user name (or a user ID, etc.), a user address, a phone number, etc.

[0036] (Mobile) The moving body 20 is composed of a drive unit 21 and a dolly 22. As shown in Fig. 1, the dolly 22 is configured in a box shape and is configured to be able to store luggage (delivery luggage, outgoing luggage) inside. A rack for storing luggage is also installed on the dolly 22. This rack is partitioned into a plurality of spaces, for example, and is configured to be able to store luggage in each space. The dolly 22 may be provided with a communication function for communicating with the center server 10 when accepting delivery luggage and outgoing luggage.

[0037] The drive unit 21 is an electric unit capable of autonomous travel (automatic travel) under the control of the center server 10. The drive unit 21 also includes, for example, a connecting attachment, and is configured to be capable of connecting to and disconnecting from a dolly 22 on which luggage is stored. The drive unit 21 autonomously moves to a location (e.g., a placement location, a waiting location, etc.) instructed by the center server 10 while connected to or disconnected from the dolly 22.

[0038] 2, the drive unit 21 includes a control unit 211, a communication unit 212, a storage unit 213, a camera 214, a positioning unit 215, a sensor group 216, and a battery 217. The control unit 211, the communication unit 212, and the storage unit 213 are similar in terms of hardware to the control unit 11, the communication unit 12, and the storage unit 13.

[0039] The communication unit 212 communicates with the center server 10 by wireless communication via the network NW. The storage unit 213 stores, as necessary, information such as an image captured by a camera 214, position information of the drive unit 21 detected by a positioning unit 215, sensor information detected by a sensor group 216, and the remaining battery charge of the drive unit 21.

[0040] The camera 214 is for realizing autonomous driving, and is configured by an imaging device incorporating an imaging element such as a CCD (Charge Coupled Device) or a CIS (CMOS Image Sensor). A plurality of cameras 214 are installed, for example, at predetermined positions of the drive unit 21. The camera 214 transmits captured images to the center server 10 as necessary.

[0041] The positioning unit 215 receives radio waves from GPS (Global Positioning System) satellites to detect position information of the drive unit 21. The method of detecting the position information is not limited to a method using GPS satellites, and may be, for example, a method that combines LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging, Laser Imaging Detection and Ranging) with a three-dimensional digital map. The positioning unit 215 transmits the detected position information to the center server 10 constantly or periodically.

[0042] The sensor group 216 is a plurality of sensors for realizing autonomous driving, and is configured, for example, by a 3D-LiDAR, a millimeter wave sensor, an infrared sensor, an acceleration sensor, a GPS sensor, a vehicle speed sensor, etc. The sensor group 216 transmits detected sensor data to the center server 10 as necessary.

[0043] The battery 217 is for supplying power to the power source (motor) of the drive unit 21. The control unit 211 transmits the remaining battery capacity of the battery 217 to the center server 10 as necessary.

[0044] (Terminal) The terminal 30 is realized by a smartphone, mobile phone, tablet terminal, wearable computer, or the like carried by a user who receives or sends a package.

[0045] 2, the terminal 30 includes a control unit 31, a communication unit 32, a storage unit 33, and an operation / display unit 34. The control unit 31, the communication unit 32, and the storage unit 33 are similar in terms of hardware to the control unit 11, the communication unit 12, and the storage unit 13.

[0046] The control unit 31 performs display control of the operation / display unit 34. The communication unit 32 communicates with the center server 10 by wireless communication via the network NW. The storage unit 33 stores, as necessary, for example, application software (delivery box usage app) for the user to use the delivery box.

[0047] The operation / display unit 34 is configured with, for example, a touch panel display, and has an input function for accepting operations by the user's finger, pen, etc., and a display function for displaying various information based on the control of the control unit 31. Based on the control of the control unit 31, the operation / display unit 34 displays, for example, a screen of a delivery box usage app installed on the terminal 30, a storage limit for a delivered package obtained from the center server 10, etc.

[0048] (How to dispatch a parcel box) An example of a processing procedure of a delivery box dispatching method executed by the delivery box dispatching system 1 according to the embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

[0049] First, the drive unit control unit 111 of the center server 10 transmits a transport instruction to the drive unit 21 to transport the first cart 22 to a preset location (step S1). In response to this, the drive unit 21 transports the first cart 22 to the location while towing it (step S2).

[0050] Next, after the first carriage 22 is placed at the placement location, the drive unit control unit 111 outputs a movement instruction to the drive unit 21 to move the drive unit 21, which has been separated from the first carriage 22, to a preset waiting location (step S3). In response to this, the drive unit 21 moves to the waiting location (step S4).

[0051] Next, the drive unit control unit 111 starts accepting storage of the delivery parcel by the first cart 22 (step S5). Next, the drive unit control unit 111 determines whether or not a predetermined period of time has elapsed since the first cart 22 was placed at the placement location (step S6).

[0052] If it is determined that a predetermined period of time has elapsed since the first carriage 22 was placed at the placement location (Yes in step S6), the drive unit control unit 111 transmits a transport instruction to the drive unit 21 to transport the second carriage 22 to the placement location (step S7). In response to this, the drive unit 21 transports the second carriage 22 to the placement location while towing it (step S8). Note that, if it is determined in step S6 that a predetermined period of time has not elapsed since the first carriage 22 was placed at the placement location (No in step S6), the drive unit control unit 111 returns to the determination in step S6.

[0053] Next, after the second carriage 22 is placed at the placement location, the drive unit control unit 111 outputs a movement instruction to the drive unit 21 to move the drive unit 21, which has been separated from the second carriage 22, to the standby location (step S9). In response to this, the drive unit 21 moves to the standby location (step S10).

[0054] Next, the drive unit control unit 111 starts accepting storage of the delivery parcel by the second cart 22 (step S11). Then, in the delivery box dispatching method according to the embodiment, after this step S11, the process of steps S1 to S11 is repeated as necessary.

[0055] As described above, according to the delivery box dispatch system, delivery box dispatch device, and delivery box dispatch program of the embodiment, a plurality of dollies 22 are alternately dispatched and these dollies 22 are used to accept storage of parcels delivered by delivery companies, so that delivery boxes can be easily added or newly installed in housing such as apartment buildings and detached houses. In addition, even when existing delivery boxes are full, the dollies 22 can be used as delivery boxes. Therefore, the burden of redelivery on the delivery company that delivers parcels to users can be reduced.

[0056] Further advantages and modifications may readily occur to those skilled in the art. Thus, the invention in its broader aspects is not limited to the specific details and representative embodiments shown and described above. Accordingly, various modifications may be made without departing from the spirit or scope of the general inventive concept as defined by the appended claims and equivalents thereof.

[0057] In the delivery box dispatch system, delivery box dispatch device, and delivery box dispatch program according to the embodiment, the drive unit 21 may be managed by a management company (e.g., a dealer, etc.) or may be rented to a delivery company. The dolly 22 may also be managed by a management company, may be rented to a delivery company, or may be rented to one or more users (or households).

[0058] Furthermore, in the delivery box dispatch system, delivery box dispatch device, and delivery box dispatch program according to the embodiments, the size of the dolly 22 may be changed according to the amount of luggage stored. In this case, the parts constituting the dolly 22 are rearranged to change the storage capacity of the dolly 22 according to the amount of delivery luggage stored in the dolly 22. In this way, by changing the size of the dolly 22 according to the amount of luggage stored, it is possible to improve space efficiency. Furthermore, by simplifying the configuration of the dolly 22 and standardizing the parts, it is possible to improve the maintainability of the dolly 22.

[0059] Furthermore, in the delivery box dispatch system, delivery box dispatch device, and delivery box dispatch program according to the embodiments, a cartridge-type FC (Fuel Cell) tank may be provided in drive unit 21.
