Description

1 TARIFF Province / District based coverage rate determination system and method Technical Area 5 The meeting involved the existing branch network of companies in the e-commerce, cargo, and retail sectors within the district / province. what percentage it covers, what percentage of its customers it can serve, which province It is related to a system that enables the district to determine which district needs to invest. State of the Art Today, companies in the e-commerce, cargo, and retail sectors have branches in various regions. This includes how much of the customers each branch covers and which... 15 to determine if there is a need for branches in the region / district, that is, to determine the coverage rate of their branches. It only takes into account the number of points in the district. This method considers the reach of the points. It does not include analyses to be conducted and high-level identification of districts in need of investment. It is not being done efficiently. Therefore, a technically weak method is being used. Currently, companies calculate the reach of their existing locations in the district and have 20 locations in the district. The company can see the areas it cannot reach on the map. However, the company is geographically inaccessible. Even if they could see it on a map, they wouldn't know what percentage of each district they cover across Türkiye. They cannot make calculations with real data, and consequently, they cannot determine in which region to invest. They are unaware of the guidance they need. Investment decisions are based on subjective experiences. It is given as follows: 25 The application numbered 2011 / 13217 was revealed as a result of technical investigations. Summary: "This invention provides access permits for locations on a defined area map." Real-time map display of selected users based on their hobbies and / or activities. A location-based activity intensity reporting system showing population / density distribution 30 and is related to the method." As can be seen, the system is related to a location-based activity intensity reporting system and method. and in addition, it can provide a solution to the disadvantages mentioned above. It does not mention the structure. 35 2 In conclusion, due to the negative aspects described above and the current solutions, the subject matter... Due to its shortcomings, it has become necessary to make improvements in the relevant technical field. Purpose of the Invention The invention represents a new breakthrough in this field, unlike the structures used in existing technology. The aim is to create a structure with different technical specifications that bring these elements together. The primary purpose of the invention is to enable companies in the e-commerce, cargo, and retail sectors to adapt their existing branches. what percentage of the district / province / region it covers with its network, what percentage of its customers it serves. It enables the province to determine which district it should invest in, based on what it can take with it. The system and method are to be presented. One aim of the invention is to provide users with a numerical result from which they can gain insight. The goal is to increase efficiency in terms of workload, customer satisfaction, and financial performance across sectors. 15 Another aim of the invention is to develop a method that considers only numerical inputs. to ensure decisions are based on more analytical principles, thus preventing wrong investments. The goal is to eliminate their decisions. One purpose of the invention is to consider the reach of companies' locations when calculating the coverage rate. The aim is to ensure that the (catchment field) is also taken into account. With this invention, companies can determine the coverage rate in districts with a single query. This allows... Users can see the coverage rate by district, indicating how much coverage each district has. 25 As a result, the districts in the province that need investment or where investment density is high They are able to identify the districts where this is happening. Thanks to all this, they can make their investments more easily. It can channel resources to the right places. During analyses that involve many steps, there is a possibility of individual errors. 30 With this invention, these steps have been combined into a single tool, reducing the margin of error to almost zero. To fulfill the purposes described above, the invention is made possible through the existing branch network of the firms. what percentage of the district / province it covers, what percentage of its customers it can serve, the province It is a system that enables companies to determine which district to invest in, and its feature is; 35 3  Users who can enter data into the access area calculation module interface,  Access control that enables the calculation of the reach of companies' existing locations. area calculation module,  Combining nested access fields and querying through a single field. 5 a geographic polygon merging module that enables this,  Calculating the demographics in the created access area and in the access area a calculation that allows the calculated population to be compared to the calculated population of the district. module It includes. 10 The structural and characteristic features and all the advantages of the invention are given in the figures below. Thanks to the detailed explanation written with references to the figures, it becomes clearer. This will be understood, and therefore the evaluation should also take these figures and detailed explanations into account. It must be done by taking 15. Figures that will help understand the invention. Figure 1 is a schematic representation of the system that is the subject of the invention. Explanation of Part References 1. User Interface 2. Access Area Calculation Module 25 3. Geographic Polygon Merging Module 4. Calculation Module Detailed Description of the Invention 30 In this detailed explanation, the preferred configurations of the invention are not merely for better understanding the subject. in order to facilitate understanding and without imposing any limiting effects It is explained. 35 4 The invention involves the existing branch network of companies in sectors such as e-commerce, cargo, and retail. what percentage of the district / province it covers, what percentage of its customers it can serve, the province It is related to a system that enables a company to determine which district it should invest in. The invention considers not only the company's point count but also 5 when calculating coverage rate on a district basis. the reach areas of the points should also be taken into account, the catchment / reach areas of the points combining (polygon merging algorithm) and demographics in the resulting access areas The calculation method has been improved by creating differences. The steps involved in the process performed with the system described in the invention are as follows: 10  Through the reach area calculation module (2) and user interface (1), companies Calculation of the reach areas (catchment areas) of the existing points, (to the System) Geographic access of central points (e.g., cargo lockers) and Grids to be defined (calculation of areas)  Nested access areas can be combined via the geographic polygon merging module (4) 15 combining and conducting the query through a single field,  Calculation module for demographics within the created access area and population in the district. (4) by means of,  The population calculated in the access area through the calculation module (4), in the district Ratio to the calculated population, (In addition to demographic data, the invention provides the user with 20 (It also offers the chance to add your own data to the system.) Users access the user interface (1) (web interface) via a device such as a computer. It provides access and inputs the necessary data into the access area calculation module (2). Access area calculation module (2) access area calculation: one or more Map showing the area of ​​the point that can be reached on foot or by vehicle, depending on distance and time. It involves creating a polygon-shaped structure on the map. This calculation allows for the identification of locations. The analysis of the surrounding area is done using the straight-line distance, not the actual path, which is used in many applications. This is calculated using the distance. This maximizes the accuracy rate of the analysis to 30. It extracts. Polygon merging algorithm used in the geographic polygon merging module (3): With the invention In order to calculate the district-based coverage rate, the access areas of the central points Demographic data within these areas are being calculated and queried. Center 35 The proximity of these points to each other causes the access areas to overlap, and Therefore, demographic queries conducted in nested access areas tend to be duplicated. This leads to a problem. The invention uses a polygon merging algorithm to solve this problem. Its usage has been improved, hence the nested access areas (geographic polygons). They are being combined, allowing the query to be performed through a single field.
