Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a user terminal device. The device comprises a communication unit for performing communication with an external device, a memory storing an application for a parcel delivery service, a display, and a processor for controlling the display to display an execution screen of the application. When information regarding goods being transported to a multi-unit area corresponding to the user's address is received through the communication unit, the processor controls the display to display the information, and when a user request to support a delivery person delivering the goods is input, the processor controls the communication unit to transmit the user request to an external device.

Description

User terminal device for parcel delivery and method of controlling the same The present disclosure relates to a user terminal device for parcel delivery and a method for controlling 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.
