Solution Overview
Problem
Existing logistics systems using unmanned vehicles lack flexibility in operation guidance, as they provide uniform instructions that do not account for the diverse needs and preferences of various users picking up packages.
Innovation Solution
A logistics management system that includes a server, user device, and unmanned ground vehicle, which utilizes user-specific settings and attributes to customize the output mode of operation guidance, such as voice language, volume, and speed, based on individual or group preferences.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If uniform operation guidance is provided to all users, then the system structure remains simple, but the adaptability to different user needs deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The operation guidance is segmented into multiple output modes (voice output with various languages, volumes, and speeds; image output with different fonts and sizes) so that different users can receive guidance in the mode最适合 their needs. The server divides users into different groups based on attributes and provides customized guidance to each group.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adjusts the output mode of operation guidance based on user attributes. The server determines appropriate output modes (voice/image, language, volume, speed, font size) according to user group characteristics, making the system adaptable without requiring complex manual configuration for each user.
2Adaptability or versatility
If personalized operation guidance is provided for each user, then the adaptability to user needs improves, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The server implements multi-functionality by handling multiple tasks: user authentication, group determination based on attributes, selection of appropriate output modes, and control of voice/image parameters. This universal approach allows personalized guidance without requiring separate systems for each function.
Solution Approach 2:
The server acts as an intermediary between the unmanned vehicle and the users. It receives user authentication information, determines user groups, selects appropriate output modes, and transmits control instructions to the vehicle. This intermediary layer manages the complexity centrally rather than distributing it across multiple components.
3Loss of information
If the system stores detailed user attribute information, then the ability to provide personalized guidance improves, but the information processing requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The server performs preliminary actions by determining user groups and selecting appropriate output modes before providing operation guidance. User attributes are processed in advance to categorize users into groups, and the corresponding output modes are predetermined, reducing real-time processing requirements during actual package pickup operations.

AI summary
An operation guidance corresponding to a user is output. A server (10) of a logistics management system (1) sets, based on user setting information associated with users, an output mode of an operation guidance that is output by an unmanned ground vehicle (30) that carries a package, generates a notification code for a package subject to carrying, associates the generated notification code with a user who picks up or deposits the package, sends the generated notification code to a user device used by the user, obtains an authentication code which includes the notification code and which the user has entered into the unmanned vehicle (30), specifies, based on the notification code included in the obtained authentication code, the output mode of the operation guidance corresponding to the user who has entered the authentication code, causes the unmanned vehicle (30) to output the operation guidance using the specified output mode.
