Beacon-Based Arrival Detection for Delivery Terminal Output
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for determining a delivery resource's arrival at a store are inaccurate due to subjective reporting by the resource or low accuracy in positioning systems, leading to delivery timeouts.
Innovation Solution
Detecting a search connection between a delivery terminal and a beacon device using a pre-cached joint beacon atlas that records communication identifiers covered by the target physical object, and outputting the stable state time point as arrival information.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If the delivery resource reports the information of arriving at the store manually, then the system can obtain arrival information, but the accuracy of the information is low due to subjective reporting
Solution Approach 1:
The delivery terminal automatically detects and reports arrival information at the store without manual intervention. The system uses beacon devices to automatically identify when the delivery terminal arrives at the store, eliminating the need for manual reporting while ensuring accurate timing information.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces manual reporting mechanisms with automated detection systems. Beacon devices and communication modules automatically detect arrival events through wireless signal communication, substituting the mechanical/manual reporting process with an automated electronic detection system.
2Extent of automation
If a positioning system detects positioning information to determine arrival behavior, then automatic detection is achieved, but the accuracy is low leading to errors in information reporting time
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces beacon devices as intermediary elements between the delivery terminal and the store. These beacon devices emit communication identifiers that the delivery terminal detects, providing a more accurate and reliable arrival detection mechanism compared to traditional positioning systems.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the detection parameter from positioning information to communication identifier matching. By detecting whether the delivery terminal can communicate with beacon devices at the store through identifier matching, the system achieves higher accuracy in arrival detection while maintaining automation.
3Ease of operation
If the delivery resource reports all delivery orders at once when entering the business circle, then the reporting process is simplified, but the accuracy of arrival information is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the reporting process into automatic detection events triggered by specific conditions (arrival at store). Instead of reporting all orders at once, the system detects and reports arrival events individually and automatically when the delivery terminal enters the store's business circle, maintaining simplicity while improving accuracy.

AI summary
Information output methods and apparatuses, computer equipment and readable storage media which relate to the field of computer technology are provided. The information output method includes: detecting whether a search connection is established between a delivery terminal and a beacon device deployed by a target physical object by using a pre-cached joint beacon atlas bound to the target physical object, where the joint beacon atlas records a set of communication identifiers covered by a physical object; if the search connection is established between the delivery terminal and the beacon device deployed by the target physical object, outputting a corresponding time point when the search connection is in a stable state as information of a delivery resource arriving at the target physical object.
