Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a control device. The control device comprises a memory, a communication unit, and A processor may be included. When information regarding goods to be delivered to a multi-family housing area is received from a server device, the processor stores the information in memory, generates first identification information for a courier delivering the goods and second identification information for a delivery person delivering the goods within the multi-family housing area, and transmits them to the server device; when the first identification information is input by a door opening/closing device that controls the opening/closing of at least one door, the processor transmits a first opening signal to the door opening/closing device to open at least one door, and when the second identification information is input through the door opening/closing device, the processor transmits a second opening signal to the door opening/closing device to open at least one door.

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.
