Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a server device. The server device comprises a memory, a communication unit, and a processor. When the processor receives information regarding an item to be transported to a multi-family housing area from an external device via the communication unit, it transmits information regarding a courier management location to the external device to guide the delivery of the item to the courier management location, selects a delivery person to deliver the item to a final destination within the multi-family housing area based on candidate information, and controls the communication unit to transmit information regarding the item and a delivery request to a user terminal device possessed by the selected delivery person.

Description

Server device for managing goods transportation and methods for managing the same The present disclosure relates to a server device for managing the transportation of goods and a method for managing the same. Since the outbreak of infectious diseases such as the coronavirus, the number of people ordering and receiving goods online has increased. Consequently, the volume of parcel deliveries has grown significantly. However, as the number of delivery drivers is limited, attempting to deliver every item directly to the doorstep can lead to delivery delays. In addition, in multi-family areas (e.g., large housing complexes, apartment complexes, etc.), access by outsiders is restricted due to security concerns, which presents a problem in that it is difficult for delivery drivers to easily enter the multi-family areas. Furthermore, since the outbreak of infectious diseases such as the coronavirus, common spaces within these areas, such as community centers, have not been used, only increasing the burden of maintenance costs. Therefore, the need for a goods transportation management method to solve the various problems mentioned above has emerged. FIG. 1 is a drawing for explaining the operation of a server device according to at least one embodiment of the present disclosure. FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a server device according to one or more embodiments of the present disclosure. Figure 3 is a diagram illustrating a method of managing goods transportation by communicating with various external devices from a server device. Figure 4 is a drawing illustrating the process of grouping items by unit area. Figure 5 is a diagram illustrating a method of transporting goods from a logistics center to a final destination. FIGS. 6 to 9 are flowcharts for explaining a management method according to at least one embodiment of the present disclosure. The terms used in the various embodiments of this disclosure have been selected to be as widely used and general as possible, taking into account their functions within this disclosure; however, these terms may vary depending on the intent of those skilled in the art, case law, the emergence of new technologies, etc. Additionally, in specific cases, terms have been selected at the applicant's discretion, and in such cases, their meanings will be described in detail in the relevant description section of this disclosure. Accordingly, terms used in this disclosure should be defined not merely by their names, but based on their meanings and the overall content of this disclosure. In this specification, expressions such as “have,” “may have,” “include,” or “may include” indicate the presence of such features (e.g., numerical values, functions, actions, or components, etc.) and do not exclude the presence of additional features. The expression "at least one of A or/and B" should be understood as representing either "A" or "B" or "A and B". Expressions such as "first," "second," "first," or "second" used in this specification may modify various components regardless of order and/or importance, and are used only to distinguish one component from another and do not limit said components. When it is stated that a component (e.g., a first component) is “(operatively or communicatively) coupled with/to” or “connected to” another component (e.g., a second component), it should be understood that the component may be directly connected to the other component or connected through the other component (e.g., a third component). The singular expression includes the plural expression unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. In this application, terms such as “comprising” or “consisting of” are intended to specify the existence of the features, numbers, steps, actions, components, parts, or combinations thereof described in the specification, and should be understood as not precluding the existence or addition of one or more other features, numbers, steps, actions, components, parts, or combinations thereof. In the present disclosure, a "module" or "part" performs at least one function or operation and may be implemented in hardware or software, or a combination of hardware and software. Additionally, a plurality of "modules" or a plurality of "parts" may be integrated into at least one module and implemented by at least one processor (not shown), except for a "module" or "part" that needs to be implemented in specific hardware. In this specification, the term "user" may refer to a person using an electronic device or a device using an electronic device (e.g., an artificial intelligence electronic device). An embodiment of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the attached drawings.
