Logistics Terminal Querying Target Orders by Location

Solution Overview

Problem

The inefficiency and high cost associated with logistics personnel instructing individual users by phone during goods delivery, leading to low delivery efficiency and increased costs.

Innovation Solution

An information processing method and system that allows logistics terminals to query and receive target order information from a server based on current location and delivery distance thresholds, enabling simultaneous notification of users via their terminals with arrival instructions and logistics information.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If logistics personnel instruct each ordering user by phone to pick up goods, then users can receive delivery instructions, but delivery efficiency is low and delivery cost is high

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvedelivery instruction deliveryVSAvoiddelivery efficiency

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the mechanical phone communication system with an electronic information push system. The server automatically pushes delivery location information to user terminals, eliminating the need for manual phone calls by logistics personnel. This substitution of mechanical communication with automated electronic information delivery directly resolves the contradiction by maintaining ease of operation while dramatically improving delivery efficiency.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Ease of operation

If logistics personnel instruct each ordering user by phone to pick up goods, then users can receive delivery instructions, but delivery cost is high

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvedelivery instruction deliveryVSAvoiddelivery cost

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the mechanical phone communication system with an electronic information push system. The server automatically pushes delivery location information to user terminals, eliminating the need for manual phone calls by logistics personnel. This substitution of mechanical communication with automated electronic information delivery directly resolves the contradiction by maintaining ease of operation while dramatically improving delivery efficiency.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

3Reliability

If logistics personnel manually notify each user individually, then users receive accurate delivery information, but time consumption is high

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvedelivery information accuracyVSAvoidnotification time

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary action by pre-calculating and storing optimal delivery locations and push timing. When goods arrive at the delivery location, the server automatically pushes notifications to all relevant users without requiring real-time manual intervention. This preliminary preparation of delivery information and automated push mechanism resolves the contradiction by ensuring accurate information delivery while eliminating time-consuming manual notification processes.

Inventive Principle:

AI summary

An information processing method includes receiving a query request sent by a logistics terminal; determining, in at least one prestored order, target order information that corresponds to an authentication identifier and includes a delivery address within a delivery distance threshold range that uses a current location of the logistics terminal as a center; feeding back the determined target order information to the logistics terminal; and pushing online prompt information to a corresponding ordering user terminal according to the ordering user account in the target order after an arrival notice instruction sent by the logistics terminal is received.
