The control device 2 activates a notification device 4 upon receipt of the arrival confirmation signal, and the flying body 10 stays above the home of the pickup and delivery destination until an autonomous flight is switched to a manually operated flight, and the flight is switched to a manually operated flight. After that, it is manually moved to a front door of the collection and delivery destination.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1

Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a home collection and delivery system using an aerial vehicle (drone), and in particular to a home collection and delivery system that can accurately move the aerial vehicle to a delivery destination or a home requesting collection. [Background technology]

[0002] Traditional home collection and delivery services often involve land transport using maps or navigation apps, which can make it difficult to identify the delivery or collection destination, and delivery and collection times can take a long time due to road conditions, etc. Therefore, a delivery system has been proposed that searches for a route from a collection and distribution center to the delivery address and uses that information to deliver the package from the collection and distribution center to the delivery address by drone (see Patent Document 1), and a system that moves the drone and the package to a specified area by delivery vehicle, and then uses the drone to deliver the package from the specified area to the delivery address based on the address information (see Patent Document 2). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Patent Publication No. 2021-33581 [Patent Document 2] Special Express Publication No. 2019-131332 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] However, in conventional deliveries using flying vehicles, the flying vehicle moves based on the address information of the delivery destination specified by the sender, so it is possible to identify the delivery destination with a certain degree of accuracy, but if the address information of the specified delivery destination is incorrect, there is the inconvenience of not being able to reach the delivery destination. Also, there are cases where it is not possible to identify the main building (main house) where the delivery destination actually resides at the delivery destination, so there are limits to the accuracy of the flying vehicle's movement to the delivery destination. Such inconveniences can also occur when a delivery request is received and the flying vehicle collects the package.

[0005] The present invention was made in consideration of the above circumstances, and its main objective is to provide a home collection and delivery system that can accurately move an aircraft to the target collection and delivery destination when using an aircraft to collect and deliver packages to a home. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] In order to achieve the above object, the home collection and delivery system according to the present invention is a system that moves an air vehicle to a consumer's home where a smart meter is installed and collects and delivers packages to the consumer's home, The flying object is capable of autonomous flight and also capable of manual flight via a control device in an operation room, The control device in the operation room includes an instrument ID registration means for registering the instrument ID of the smart meter installed in the collection / delivery destination house in the aircraft, and a flight mode switching means for switching the aircraft between autonomous flight and manual flight; The flying object includes an autonomous flight means that autonomously flies toward the collection and delivery destination house based on location information of a smart meter at the collection and delivery destination house that is linked to the registered meter ID, The smart meter installed in the collection and delivery destination house includes an arrival determination means for determining whether the flying object has arrived in the sky above the collection and delivery destination house where the smart meter is installed, and a confirmation signal transmission means for transmitting an arrival confirmation signal to the control device when it is determined that the flying object has arrived in the sky above the collection and delivery destination house, The control device further includes an alarm means for activating an alarm device when the control device receives the arrival confirmation signal, The flying object further includes a stopping means for stopping above the collection and delivery destination house until the flight mode switching means switches to the manually operated flight. It is characterized by the following.

[0007] Therefore, the flying object is registered with the control device in the control room by the instrument ID registration means. The smart meters of the delivery destination homes registered through Based on the meter ID, the location information of the smart meter of the delivery destination home linked to it is Therefore The aircraft flies autonomously toward the destination home. The smart meter at the destination home uses an arrival determination means to determine whether the aircraft has reached the sky above the destination home, and if it determines that it has reached the sky above the destination home, uses a confirmation signal transmission means to send an arrival confirmation signal to the control device. The control device in the operation room receives this arrival confirmation signal and activates the alarm device using the notification means. Thereafter, the aircraft continues to hover above the destination home using the hovering means until the operator recognizes that the aircraft has reached the sky above the destination home through the notification from the alarm device and switches the flight mode of the aircraft to manual flight using the flight mode switching means. Then, after the flight mode of the aircraft is switched to manual flight, it is guided to the front door of the destination home or the like by remote flight (manual flight) from the control room.

[0008] Therefore, it is not necessary to register the address of the delivery destination home, and by registering the meter ID of the smart meter installed in the delivery destination home, it is possible to move the air vehicle into the sky above the delivery destination home based on the location information of the smart meter, so even if the address information (for example, house number) of the delivery destination home specified by the sender is incorrect, it is possible to accurately and reliably identify and fly the air vehicle to the delivery destination home. Also, since electricity meters are often attached to the main building (main house) where people mainly live, it is possible to identify the main building where people actually live and fly the air vehicle, which makes it possible to significantly reduce the difficulty of identifying the delivery destination home.

[0009] In addition, the control device in the operation room may further include a receiving location registration means for registering the location information of the receiving location in the aircraft in advance, and the aircraft may further include an autonomous return means for autonomously returning to the receiving location based on the location information of the receiving location when the aircraft is switched from manually operated flight to autonomous flight by the flight mode switching means after the package has been delivered to the destination home.

[0010] After the delivery or collection procedures for the package are completed, the air vehicle needs to be returned to the receiving location, but with this configuration, the air vehicle is remotely controlled (manually operated) to fly above the delivery destination again, and then when the manually operated flight is switched to autonomous flight, the air vehicle will autonomously return to the receiving location by the autonomous return means based on the location information of the receiving location. In this case, the location information of the receiving location may be the address of the receiving location, but if the meter ID of the smart meter installed at the receiving location is registered and the air vehicle is returned autonomously based on the location information of the smart meter linked to this meter ID, accurate and reliable return will be possible. [Effects of the Invention]

[0011] As described above, according to the present invention, an air vehicle is autonomously flown toward a delivery destination or collection / delivery destination based on the location information of the smart meter at the delivery destination or collection / delivery destination that is linked to the meter ID of the delivery destination or collection / delivery requesting destination registered to the air vehicle. The smart meter installed at the delivery destination or collection / delivery destination allows the air vehicle to accurately move to the sky above the delivery destination or collection / delivery destination where the air vehicle is installed. If manual operation is then switched to, the air vehicle can be manually moved to the front door of the collection / delivery destination. Therefore, when a package is collected and delivered using the air vehicle, it can be accurately flown to the collection / delivery destination without relying on the address information of the delivery destination or collection destination. Furthermore, since the air vehicle can be moved to the main building (main house) where the person lives, it is possible to significantly reduce the difficulty of identifying the collection / delivery destination.

[0013] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0014] FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing the configuration of a home collection and delivery system according to the present invention. This home collection and delivery system is a system for delivering and collecting packages using an aircraft, and is composed of a control device 2 in an operation room 1 installed at the receiving location, an aircraft 10 that can communicate with this control device 2 and has a manual operation flight mode that allows it to fly by manual operation (remote operation) from the operation room 1 and an autonomous flight mode that allows it to fly autonomously, and a smart meter 20 that is installed at the delivery destination home or the home requesting collection and can communicate with the control device 2 and the aircraft 10.

[0015] The control device 2 in the operation room 1 is equipped with an SM database 3 that stores the meter IDs of the smart meters 20 installed in each consumer's home and various information such as the location information, measurement data, and customer information of the smart meters 20 linked to these meter IDs.The control device 2 is also equipped with a communication unit that can send and receive data between the flying object 10 and the smart meter 20, and a flight mode selector switch (not shown) that, when operated by an operator, switches the flight mode of the flying object 10 between a manual operation flight mode (remote operation flight mode) in which the flying object 10 is flown by manual operation (remote operation) and an autonomous flight mode in which the flying object 10 is flown autonomously.The control device 2 is also equipped with an alarm device 4 that issues an alarm by emitting a buzzer sound.

[0016] The smart meter 20 is known per se and has a meter ID assigned to each meter, and by matching this meter ID, it is possible to check meter information (model, etc.), installation location information, measured current value information, communication device information, etc., as well as check and set setting information. Furthermore, the smart meter 20 is capable of sending and receiving various signals to and from the control device 2 and the flying object 10 (described later) via the communication unit, and is further capable of opening and closing electrical circuits, setting time switches, acquiring voltage and other status information, etc.

[0017] The flying object 10 is typified by a drone, which is a small unmanned flying object, and is, for example, a rotor-type drone as shown in Fig. 2, which has an airframe 11, a control unit 12, multiple motors 13, and a rotor (propeller) 14, the control unit 12 is equipped with sensors such as a gyroscope, acceleration sensor, and GPS, and a battery, and the bottom of the airframe 11 is equipped with a 360-degree camera (omnidirectional sensor) 15. The airframe is also equipped with an obstacle detection sensor (not shown), which prevents the drone from approaching within a predetermined distance (for example, within 1 meter) of an obstacle during flight.

[0018] A storage box 16 for storing luggage is detachably attached to the bottom of the aircraft 11, and the aircraft 10 flies together with this storage box 16. 3, an operation panel 17 is provided on the top of the storage box 16. The operation panel 17 can be pulled out manually or automatically, and when pulled out and then stood upright, a camera 17a, a touch panel monitor 17b, a card payment device 17c, etc. are exposed and can be operated. Below the operation panel, a luggage storage space 19 is provided that can be opened and closed by an opening and closing door 18. The operation panel 17 is equipped with a control unit that controls the camera 17a, touch panel monitor 17b, and card payment device 17c, determines whether there is luggage in the storage space 19, weighs the luggage, and determines the open / closed state of the opening / closing door 18, and is also capable of sending and receiving various information to and from the outside via a communication unit not shown.

[0019] Using the control device 1, the flying object 10, and the smart meter 20 as described above, a process such as that shown in FIG. 4 is performed to deliver a package to a destination house by air.

[0020] First, at the receiving location, parcels brought in for delivery requests or parcels collected in response to delivery requests from other locations undergo a predetermined procedure and are stored in a storage box (step 50). After that, the control device 2 in the operation room 1 communicates the storage box opening / closing PIN number and a QR code (a registered trademark) to the delivery destination via SMS (step 52). In addition, the controller 12 of the flying object 10 registers the meter ID of the smart meter 20 installed at the delivery destination house, and issues a command to start delivery by autonomous flight (step 54).

[0021] Upon receiving this delivery start instruction, the flying object 10 begins autonomous flight toward the delivery destination home based on the location information of the smart meter (SM) 20 linked to the meter ID of the registered delivery destination home (step 56).

[0022] Thereafter, when the flying object 10 comes within a range where wireless communication with the smart meter 20 of the delivery destination home is possible, it starts transmitting and receiving signals with the smart meter 20 of the delivery destination home (steps 58, 60). When the smart meter 20 of the delivery destination home starts transmitting and receiving signals with the flying object 10, it calculates the distance between the smart meter 20 and the flying object 10 based on the time required for transmitting and receiving signals between the smart meter 20 and the flying object 10, for example, the time required for a signal emitted from the smart meter 20 to be returned from the flying object 10 (step 62), and determines whether the flying object 10 has reached the sky above the delivery destination home based on the distance (step 64). Then, when it is determined that the flying object 10 has reached the sky above the delivery destination house, an arrival signal is transmitted to the operation room 1 (control device 2) to notify that the flying object 10 has reached the sky above the delivery destination house (step 66). At this time, after reaching the sky above the delivery destination house, the flying object 10 continues to stay (hover) above the delivery destination house until the flight mode is switched to the manual operation flight mode (step 68).

[0023] The control device 2 in the operation room 1 receives the arrival signal from the smart meter 20 and activates the alarm device 4 (sounds the buzzer) to notify the operator that the flying object 10 has arrived above the delivery destination house (step 70). The control device 2 in the operation room 1 also automatically notifies the delivery destination house via SNS that the package will soon arrive (step 72).

[0024] When the operator recognizes that the flying object 10 has reached the sky above the delivery destination house due to the activation of the alarm device 4, he switches the flight mode of the flying object 10 from autonomous flight mode to manual flight (remotely controlled flight) mode (step 74), manually controls the flying object 10 while viewing images sent from the 360-degree camera 15 mounted on the flying object 10 (step 76), and moves the flying object 10 to the front door of the delivery destination house (step 78).

[0025] Therefore, since the position information of the smart meter 20 is used to move the flying object 10 above the delivery destination home, it is possible to accurately move the flying object up to the sky above the delivery destination home, and then it is possible to deliver the package by simply manually operating the flying object to descend to the front door of the delivery destination home. Furthermore, the building where the smart meter is installed is often the main building (main house) where the person actually lives, and if there are multiple buildings on the same premises, it may be difficult to identify the main house just from the address display. However, if the flying object is moved up to the sky based on the position information of the smart meter 20 and then manually descended, it is possible to presume that the building directly below the flying object 10 is the main house and move the flying object accordingly. This makes it possible to deliver the package to the delivery destination home accurately and quickly.

[0026] Although the specific delivery procedures for the package at the receiving location and the specific delivery procedures for the package at the delivery destination have been omitted, they may be processed as shown in FIG. 5 or FIG. 6, for example. To give an overview of this process, the procedure for shipping a package at the receiving location is as follows: as shown in Figure 5, a worker or a sender at the receiving location pulls out and stands up the operation panel 17 of the storage box 16 attached to the aircraft 10, opens the opening and closing door 18 of the storage box 16, stores the package in the storage space 19, and inputs delivery destination information using the touch panel monitor 17b and camera 17a (step 100). Then, the weight of the package, the delivery fee, etc. are calculated and displayed on the touch panel monitor 17b of the operation panel 17, and the user is instructed to select whether to pay prepayment or collect payment (step 102).

[0027] Thereafter, the person requesting delivery selects on the monitor whether they wish to pay the delivery fee in advance or collect on delivery (step 104), and the aircraft (operation panel 17) determines whether the selected payment method is in advance or collect on delivery (step 106). If it is determined that collect on delivery has been selected, the control device 2 is notified that delivery preparations are complete. As a result, the control device 2 notifies the sender and the requester by SMS of the storage box 16 opening / closing password and a QR code (step 108). If SMS is not available, they are contacted by phone.

[0028] If it is determined that prepayment has been selected, a payment instruction message along with the delivery fee is displayed on the monitor (step 110), and the system waits for the delivery requester to complete payment at the self-checkout (by cash, credit card, electronic money, etc.) (steps 112, 114). After the delivery requester has completed payment, the system notifies the control device 2 that preparation for shipping is complete, and in response, the control device 2 automatically sends the storage box 16 opening / closing PIN number and QR code by SMS to the sender and the requester (step 108).

[0029] Thereafter, the control device 2 registers the instrument ID of the delivery destination house in the flying object 10, and issues a command to start delivery by autonomous flight (step 116). Upon receiving this delivery start instruction, the flying object 10 starts autonomous flight toward the delivery destination home based on the location information of the smart meter linked to the registered meter ID of the delivery destination home (step 118).

[0030] 6, after the flying vehicle 10 lands at the front door of the delivery destination together with the storage box 16, the recipient pulls out the operation panel 17 of the storage box 16 and stands it up, and then enters the PIN number previously sent from the control device 2 or scans the QR code to confirm their identity (step 120).The operation panel 17 then determines whether the payment method selected by the delivery requester is cash on delivery or not (step 122), and if it is cash on delivery, it unlocks the storage box 16 (step 124), and the recipient removes and collects the package stored in the storage box 16 (step 126).

[0031] On the other hand, if the payment is cash on delivery, the amount is displayed on the monitor of the operation panel 17 and payment is instructed (step 128), and the system waits for the recipient to complete payment at the self-checkout (by cash, credit card, electronic money, etc.) (steps 130, 132). After the recipient has completed payment, the system unlocks the storage box 16, allowing the package stored in the storage box 16 to be removed (step 124). This allows the recipient to open the door 18 and remove the package from the storage box 16 to receive it (step 126).

[0032] The operation panel 17 determines whether the inside of the storage box 16 is empty (step 134), and if the inside of the storage box is empty, it locks the opening and closing door 18 in the closed position and prepares to return the aircraft 10 to the receiving location (step 136). The operator in the control room 1 manually controls the air vehicle 10 to ascend above the delivery destination house, and then switches the flight mode of the air vehicle 10 to autonomous flight mode. After determining that the air vehicle has been switched to autonomous flight mode (step 138), the air vehicle autonomously returns to the receiving location based on the location information of the receiving location (step 140). In this autonomous return, the location information of the receiving location may also be the location information of the smart meter installed at the receiving location. That is, the meter ID of the smart meter installed at the receiving location may be registered in the air vehicle 10, and the air vehicle 10 may be moved to the receiving location using the location information linked to this meter ID in the same manner as during delivery.

[0033] The above describes the process of delivering a package to a delivery destination home, but a similar method may also be used when moving an aircraft to a home requesting collection to collect the package. An example of this is shown in Figure 7, and below we will explain an example of the operation of moving an aircraft to a home requesting collection via air using the control device 2 in the operation room 1, the aircraft 10, and a smart meter (SM) 20 installed in the home requesting collection.

[0034] After receiving a request to collect the package at the receiving location, the control device 2 in the operation room 1 communicates the storage box opening / closing password and the QR code to the requesting house via SMS (step 150). In addition, the instrument ID of the home requesting collection is registered in the control unit 12 of the flying object 10, and an instruction to start collection by autonomous flight is issued (step 152).

[0035] Upon receiving this delivery start instruction, the aircraft 10 begins autonomous flight toward the delivery destination home based on the location information of the smart meter (SM) 20 linked to the meter ID of the registered collection request home (step 154).

[0036] Thereafter, when the air vehicle 10 comes within a range where it can communicate wirelessly with the smart meter 20 of the collection requesting home, it starts sending and receiving signals with the smart meter 20 of the collection requesting home (steps 156, 160). When the smart meter 20 of the collection requesting home starts sending and receiving signals with the air vehicle 10, it calculates the distance between the smart meter 20 and the air vehicle 10 based on the time required for sending and receiving signals between the smart meter 20 and the air vehicle 10, for example, the time it takes for a signal emitted from the smart meter 20 to be returned from the air vehicle 10 (step 162), and determines whether the air vehicle 10 has reached the sky above the collection requesting home based on that distance (step 164). Then, when it is determined that the flying object 10 has reached the sky above the collection requesting house, an arrival signal is sent to the operation room 1 (control device 2) to notify that the flying object 10 has reached the sky above the delivery destination house (step 166). At this time, after reaching the sky above the collection requesting house, the flying object 10 continues to stop (hover) in the sky above the collection requesting house until the flight mode is switched to the manual operation flight mode (step 168).

[0037] The control device 2 in the operation room 1 receives the arrival signal from the smart meter 20 and activates the alarm device 4 (sounds the buzzer) to notify the operator that the flying object 10 has arrived above the collection request home (step 170). In addition, the control device 2 in the operation room 1 automatically notifies the collection request home via SNS that the flying object will soon arrive (step 172).

[0038] When the operator recognizes from the operation of the alarm device 4 that the flying object 10 has reached the sky above the house where the collection request has been made, he switches the flight mode of the flying object 10 from autonomous flight mode to manual flight mode (remotely controlled flight mode) (step 174), manually controls the flying object 10 while viewing images sent from the 360-degree camera 15 mounted on the flying object 10 (step 176), and moves the flying object 10 to the front door of the house where the collection request has been made (step 178).

[0039] Therefore, since the location information of the smart meter 20 is used to move the flying object 10 above the collection requesting house, it is possible to accurately move the flying object up to the sky above the collection requesting house, and then collection can be performed by simply manually descending the flying object to the front door of the collection requesting house. Furthermore, the building where the smart meter is installed is often the main building (main house) where the person actually lives, and if there are multiple buildings on the same premises, it may be difficult to identify the main house just from the address display. However, if the flying object is moved up to the sky based on the location information of the smart meter 20 and then manually descended, it is possible to presume that the building directly below the flying object 10 is the main house and move the flying object accordingly. This makes it possible to deliver packages to the collection requesting house accurately and quickly.

[0040] Although the specific procedures for receiving the package at the requesting home for collection have been omitted, the procedures may be carried out as shown in FIG. 8, for example. To give an overview of this process, the procedure for accepting the package at the collection requesting residence is as follows: after the flying vehicle 10 lands at the front door of the collection requesting residence together with the storage box 16, the person requesting collection pulls out and stands up the operation panel 17 of the storage box 16, and enters a PIN number previously sent from the control device 2 or scans a QR code to complete identity verification (step 200). In response to this, the operation panel (drone side) unlocks the opening and closing door 18 of the storage box 16 (step 202).

[0041] Then, when the person requesting collection opens the door 18 and stores the package in the storage space 19 (step 204), the control panel (on the aircraft side) confirms that the package has been stored and then requests the input of delivery destination information by displaying it on a monitor, etc. (step 206).

[0042] When the person requesting collection inputs the delivery destination information (step 208), the control panel (on the aircraft side) transmits the delivery destination information to the control device 2 in the control room 1 and requests the person requesting collection to choose whether to pay the delivery fee in advance or collect on delivery by displaying the option on a monitor (step 210).

[0043] In response, the control device 2 in the operation room 1 receives the delivery destination information and payment information, and extracts the meter ID of the smart meter 20 installed at the delivery destination home and various information linked to it from the SM database 3 based on the delivery destination information. When the collection requester selects whether to pay the delivery fee in advance or collect on delivery (step 214), the operation panel (drone) determines whether the selected payment method is in advance (step 216). If it is in advance payment, the amount is displayed on the monitor of the operation panel 17 (step 218), and the operation panel 17 waits for the collection requester to complete payment at the self-checkout by cash, credit card, or electronic money (steps 220, 222). After the collection requester completes payment, the payment information is sent to the operation room 1 (control device 2), the opening / closing door 18 is locked in the closed position, and the drone is prepared to fly to the delivery destination (step 224).

[0044] Thereafter, similarly to step 52, the control device 2 in the operation room 1 automatically transmits the storage box opening / closing password and the QR code to the delivery destination house by SMS (step 226). In addition, the instrument ID of the delivery destination house is registered in the control unit 12 of the flying object 10, and an instruction to start delivery by autonomous flight is issued (step 228).

[0045] Upon receiving this delivery start instruction, the aircraft 10 begins autonomous flight toward the destination home based on the location information of the smart meter (SM) 20 linked to the meter ID of the registered destination home (step 230), and then performs the operations from step 58 onwards shown in Figure 4.

[0046] Therefore, the aircraft can be accurately moved to the sky above the collection requesting home where the smart meter 20 is installed, and then collection can be carried out simply by manually descending it to the front door of the collection requesting home, and it is also possible to accurately and quickly move the aircraft to the main building (main house) where the collection requesting home lives.

[0047] In the above example, a buzzer is used as the notification means, but instead of or together with the buzzer, a notification means such as light emission or vibration may be used. [Explanation of symbols]
