The present disclosure relates to a display method, a display control apparatus, and a computer program. This application claims priority to Japanese Patent Application No. 2021-097082 filed on Jun. 10, 2021, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
From the viewpoint of efficiency of package delivery, collective delivery is known in which packages collected from a plurality of shippers are mixedly loaded in the same delivery vehicle and delivered to a plurality of recipients.
In collective delivery, since the mixedly loaded delivery vehicle delivers the packages via various points, a delivery client (shipper or recipient) desires to confirm the delivery status of the package.
On the other hand, in such collective delivery, if a delivery route of a package from a certain shipper to a certain recipient is known to another shipper or another recipient, there is a possibility that a trade secret of a business partner or the like is known to a competitor or the like.
Therefore, there is a need for a mechanism that allows a shipper or a recipient to confirm the delivery status of the package without the delivery route being known to another shipper or another recipient.
PTL 1 discloses an information processing system in which, for example, in order to prevent a predetermined point such as a user's home or office from being known, the vicinity of the predetermined point is displayed with a circle, or a route to the predetermined point is changed to a route to an intersection of the vicinity of the predetermined point and displayed.
A display method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is a display method for displaying a delivery status of a related package on a terminal device used by a user, the related package being a package related to the user. The display method includes acquiring route information of a delivery route of target packages to be delivered by a vehicle; acquiring position information of the vehicle; and displaying, on the terminal device, a map with an abstracted route and an icon superimposed thereon, based on the route information and the position information, the abstracted route being a route from a delivery origin of the related package to a delivery destination of the related package and being a route excluding a delivery destination of a non-related package that is a package not related to the user among the target packages, the icon indicating a position of the vehicle on the abstracted route, the position of the vehicle on the abstracted route corresponding to a position of the vehicle on a delivery route of the related package.
A display control apparatus according to another aspect of the present disclosure is a display control apparatus for causing a terminal device used by a user to display a delivery status of a related package, the related package being a package related to the user. The display control apparatus includes a route information acquisition unit configured to acquire route information of a delivery route of target packages to be delivered by a vehicle; a position information acquisition unit configured to acquire position information of the vehicle; and a display control unit configured to cause the terminal device to display a map with an abstracted route and an icon superimposed thereon, based on the route information and the position information, the abstracted route being a route from a delivery origin of the related package to a delivery destination of the related package and being a route excluding a delivery destination of a non-related package not related to the user among the target packages, the icon indicating a position of the vehicle on the abstracted route, the position of the vehicle on the abstracted route corresponding to a position of the vehicle on a delivery route of the related package.
A computer program according to another aspect of the present disclosure is a computer program for causing a computer to function as a display control apparatus for causing a terminal device used by a user to display a delivery status of a related package, the related package being a package related to the user. The computer program causes the computer to function as: a route information acquisition unit configured to acquire route information of a delivery route of target packages to be delivered by a vehicle; a position information acquisition unit configured to acquire position information of the vehicle; and a display control unit configured to cause the terminal device to display a map with an abstracted route and an icon superimposed thereon, based on the route information and the position information, the abstracted route being a route from a delivery origin of the related package to a delivery destination of the related package and being a route excluding a delivery destination of a non-related package that is a package not related to the user among the target packages, the icon indicating a position of the vehicle on the abstracted route, the position of the vehicle on the abstracted route corresponding to a position of the vehicle on a delivery route of the related package.
The present disclosure can also be achieved as a computer program for causing a computer to execute the characteristic steps included in the display method. It is needless to say that such a computer program can be distributed via a computer-readable non-transitory recording medium such as a compact disc-read only memory (CD-ROM) or a communication network such as the Internet.
When the information processing system disclosed in PTL 1 is used for collective delivery, the following problems occur.
That is, when the predetermined point is set as a delivery destination of a competitor or the like, a circle is suddenly displayed at the delivery destination, or a route making a U-turn at an intersection of the vicinity of the delivery destination is displayed. In this way, unnatural route is displayed.
In addition, when the size of the circle is small or when the intersection point is close to the delivery destination, there is a possibility that the delivery destination is analogized to another person.
The present disclosure has been made in view of such circumstances and an object of the present disclosure is to provide a display method, a display control apparatus, and a computer program capable of naturally displaying a delivery status of a package without notifying another shipper or another recipient of the delivery route.
The present disclosure allows for naturally displaying the delivery status of the package without notifying another shipper or another recipient of the delivery route.
First, a summary of embodiments of the present disclosure is listed and described.
According to this configuration, since the delivery destination of the non-related package is not included in the abstracted route, the delivery destination of the non-related package is not displayed on the map. Therefore, the delivery route of the non-related package is not known to the user. Also, an icon is displayed at a position on the abstracted route corresponding to the position of the vehicle in the delivery route. Therefore, the user can grasp the rough position of the vehicle and can confirm the delivery status. For this reason, it is possible to naturally display the delivery status of the related package to the user without the delivery route of the non-related package being known to the user who is another shipper or another recipient.
According to this configuration, the icon corresponding to the position of the vehicle can be displayed on the straight line or the curved line connecting the delivery origin and the delivery destination. Therefore, the user can intuitively grasp the rough position of the vehicle, the remaining distance to the delivery destination, and the like.
According to this configuration, the icon corresponding to the position of the vehicle can be displayed on the area based on the arrival distance or the arrival time from the delivery origin or the delivery destination. Therefore, the user can intuitively grasp the arrival distance or arrival time of the vehicle from the delivery origin or delivery destination.
According to this configuration, when the related package approaches the delivery destination, the user can know the accurate position of the vehicle.
According to this configuration, since the congested section is displayed on the abstracted route, the user can easily know whether the vehicle exists in the congested section by viewing the icon.
According to this configuration, the user can intuitively grasp the degree of progress of delivery by the vehicle by viewing the corresponding line and the icon on the corresponding line.
According to this configuration, the user can confirm the remaining information related to the remaining distance or remaining time to the delivery destination.
According to this configuration, when there is no transit point of the competitor or the like on the delivery route of the related package, the user can confirm the accurate delivery route from the delivery origin to the delivery destination and the position of the vehicle.
According to this configuration, delivery routes of packages other than the package delivered from the shipper cannot be shown to the shipper of the package.
According to this configuration, delivery routes of packages other than the package delivered to the recipient cannot be shown to the recipient of the package.
According to this configuration, delivery routes of packages other than the package delivered by the vehicle cannot be shown to the administrator of the vehicle. That is, it is possible to prevent the administrator of the vehicle from showing the delivery route of the package delivered by the vehicle managed by another administrator.
According to this configuration, when there is a possibility that the delivery route of the non-related package is known to the user, an abstracted route that does not include the delivery destination of the non-related package is required. For this reason, it is possible to naturally display the delivery status of the related package to the user without the delivery route of the non-related package being known to the user who is another shipper or another recipient.
This configuration includes processing units corresponding to the characteristic steps in the display method described above. Therefore, according to this configuration, the same operation and effect as those of the above-described display method can be achieved.
This configuration can cause the computer to function as the above-described display control apparatus. Therefore, the same operation and effect as those of the above-described display control apparatus can be achieved.

It should be noted that each of the embodiments described below represents a specific example of the present disclosure. Numerical values, shapes, materials, constituent elements, arrangement positions and connection forms of constituent elements, steps, order of steps, and the like shown in the following embodiments are examples and do not limit the present disclosure. In addition, among the constituent elements in the following embodiments, constituent elements not recited in the independent claims are constituent elements that can be arbitrarily added. In addition, each drawing is a schematic diagram and is not necessarily strictly illustrated.
The same components are denoted by the same reference numerals. Since their functions and names are the same, their descriptions are omitted as appropriate.
Embodiment 1 of the present disclosure describes a delivery system for a package using collective delivery.
Referring to
Packages a and b are collected from shippers X and Y to a delivery center, respectively. The collection may be performed by a vehicle managed by the delivery center or may be performed by vehicles managed by shippers X and Y.
A delivery vehicle 7 mixedly loads packages a and b of delivery targets at the delivery center, moves from the delivery center to base A, and package a is delivered to recipient A at base A. Thereafter, delivery vehicle 7 moves from base A to base B, and package b is delivered to recipient B at base B. In embodiment 1, there are two shippers and two recipients respectively, but there may be three or more shippers and three or more recipients.
Shipper terminals 2X and 2Y are terminal devices used by shippers X and Y shown in
Display control apparatus 4 performs control for displaying the delivery status of the package on the display screens of shipper terminals 2X and 2Y, the display screens of recipient terminals 3A and 3B, and the display screen of administrator terminal 5. Traffic information providing device 6 provides the congested section information indicating the congested section occurring on the road.
Delivery vehicle 7 is a vehicle such as a truck or a van in which packages for a plurality of recipients are mixedly loaded and delivered to each recipient. For example, delivery vehicle 7 mixedly loads packages a and b and delivers to recipients A and B. Delivery vehicle 7 includes a position specifying unit for specifying the position of delivery vehicle 7. The position specifying unit specifies the position of delivery vehicle 7 using satellite navigation. For example, the position specifying unit specifies the position of delivery vehicle 7 based on radio waves received from a plurality of GPS (Global Positioning System) satellites. The position of delivery vehicle 7 can be specified by, for example, latitude and longitude. The satellite navigation uses a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) such as the GPS, but is not limited to the GPS. The position specifying unit may be, for example, a smart phone or a tablet terminal.
Shipper terminals 2X and 2Y, recipient terminals 3A and 3B, display control apparatus 4, administrator terminal 5, traffic information providing device 6, and delivery vehicle 7 are connected to a network 8 such as the Internet in a wired or wireless manner, and can transmit and receive data to and from each other.
Input/output I/F unit 41 includes an interface for connecting an input device such as a keyboard or a mouse and an output device such as a display apparatus to display control apparatus 4.
Memory 42 is constituted by a volatile memory element such as a Static RAM (SRAM) or a Dynamic RAM (DRAM), a nonvolatile memory element such as a flash memory or an Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory (EEPROM), a magnetic storage apparatus such as a hard disk, or the like. Memory 42 stores a computer program 53 to be executed by processor 43. Memory 42 stores a map information 51, a route information 52, and the like which are used when computer program 53 is executed. Further, memory 42 stores data generated when computer program 53 is executed.
Referring again to
Route information acquisition unit 54 acquires route information 52 by reading route information 52 of the delivery route from memory 42. When route information 52 is stored in the external device, route information acquisition unit 54 may receive route information 52 from the external device via communication I/F unit 40.
Position information acquisition unit 55 acquires the position information of delivery vehicle 7 by receiving the position information of delivery vehicle 7 from delivery vehicle 7 via communication I/F unit 40. Note that position information acquisition unit 55 may receive the position information of delivery vehicle 7 not directly from delivery vehicle 7 but from the other apparatus. The other apparatus may be, for example, a smartphone, a tablet terminal, etc.
Congested section information acquisition unit 56 acquires the congested section information by receiving the congested section information from traffic information providing device 6 via communication I/F unit 40.
Display control unit 57 generates display data of the delivery status of the package to be displayed on the display screens of shipper terminals 2X and 2Y, recipient terminals 3A and 3B, and administrator terminal 5 based on map information 51 stored in memory 42, route information 52 acquired by route information acquisition unit 54, the position information of delivery vehicle 7 acquired by position information acquisition unit 55, and the congested section information acquired by congested section information acquisition unit 56. Display control unit 57 transmits the generated display data to each terminal via communication I/F unit 40 to display the display data on the display screen of each terminal.
First, processing for shipper Y (shipper terminal 2Y) and recipient B (recipient terminal 3B) is described as an example. Referring to
Referring to
Congested section information acquisition unit 56 receives the congested section information from traffic information providing device 6 via communication I/F unit 40 (step S3).
Display control unit 57 determines whether or not a delivery destination of a non-related package (described later) is on delivery route 61 of a related package (described later) (step S4).
Here, the related package and the non-related package are described. The related package indicates a package related to the user, such as a package shipped from the user when the user is a shipper and a package delivered to the user when the user is a recipient. For example, the related package for shipper X and recipient A is package a, and the related package for shipper Y and recipient B is package b.
Further, when the user is the administrator of delivery vehicle 7 or the package, the related package indicates the packages delivered by delivery vehicle 7. For example, the related packages for the administrator of delivery vehicle 7 are packages a and b.
A non-related package is a package that is not related to a user. In other words, the non-related package is a package excluding the related package from the delivery target package by delivery vehicle 7. For example, the non-related package for shipper X and recipient A is package b, and the non-related package for shipper Y and recipient B is package a. Further, there is no non-related package for the administrator of delivery vehicle 7 or the administrator of the package delivered by delivery vehicle 7 in delivery target packages a and b.
In the example of
In step S5, display control unit 57 determines whether or not the position of delivery vehicle 7 is in the vicinity of the delivery destination of the related package (step S5). Display control unit 57 may set a position within a predetermined distance from the delivery destination as the vicinity of the delivery destination, or may set a position reachable within a predetermined time from the delivery destination as the vicinity of the delivery destination.
When delivery vehicle 7 is located at the vicinity of the delivery destination of the related package (YES in step S5), display control unit 57 proceeds to step S9.
When delivery vehicle 7 is not located at the vicinity of the delivery destination of the related package (NO in step S5), display control unit 57 proceeds to step S6.
In step S6, display control unit 57 generates display data by abstracting the delivery route of delivery vehicle 7, and transmits the display data to the terminals (here, shipper terminal 2Y and recipient terminal 3B) used by the user, thereby causing the terminals to display the display data (step S6). That is, when a non-related package is on the delivery route of delivery vehicle 7 and the position of delivery vehicle 7 is not in the vicinity of the delivery destination of the related package, display control unit 57 obtains an abstracted route (described later) and generates display data including the abstracted route. Display control unit 57 generates the display data as follows.
Based on the route information and the position information, display control unit 57 generates display data in which an abstracted route 62 to be described later and an icon 63 indicating the position of delivery vehicle 7 are superimposed on map 60 indicated by map information 51.
Abstracted route 62 is a route from the delivery origin (delivery center) to the delivery destination (base B) of related package b, and is obtained by abstracting a route excluding base A which is the delivery destination of non-related package a. Here, a route obtained by connecting the delivery origin and the delivery destination with a straight line is referred to as abstracted route 62. Abstracted route 62 is a route in which a detailed route from the delivery origin to the delivery destination is concealed, and indicates a route in which delivery vehicle 7 does not travel (for example, a route passing through a point other than a road).
Icon 63 is arranged at a position on abstracted route 62 corresponding to the position of delivery vehicle 7 in delivery route 61 of related package b. For example, in delivery route 61 shown in
Also, display control unit 57 displays a congested section 64 on abstracted route 62 based on congested section information acquisition unit 56. For example, in delivery route 61 shown in
With this display, the delivery status to base A can be hidden from shipper Y and recipient B.
After displaying the display data, display control unit 57 generates a chart 70 indicating the delivery route of the related package in simplified form, and transmits the data of the chart to the terminal used by the user to display chart 70 on the terminal (step S7).
Referring to
Note that chart 70 may be arranged on map 60 as shown in
After displaying chart 70, display control unit 57 generates a remaining information 80 related to the remaining distance or remaining time to the delivery destination of the related package, and transmits remaining information 80 to the terminal of the user, thereby displaying remaining information 80 on the terminal (step S8).
Referring to
Display control apparatus 4 updates the data displayed on each terminal by repeating the processing shown in
For example, when delivery vehicle 7 is located at the vicinity of base B in the route display shown in
Based on the route information and the position information, display control unit 57 generates display data in which a delivery route 65 of the related package and icon 63 indicating the position of delivery vehicle 7 are superimposed on map 60 indicated by map information 51. Delivery route 65 indicates a route on map 60 on which delivery vehicle 7 is scheduled to actually travel, and icon 63 indicates an actual position of delivery vehicle 7 on delivery route 65.
Thereafter, chart display processing (step S7 in
Next, processing for shipper X (shipper terminal 2X), recipient A (recipient terminal 3A), and the administrator (administrator terminal 5) of delivery vehicle 7 is described as an example. Also for these users, the processing shown in
However, as shown in
For the administrator of delivery vehicle 7 or the administrator of the package delivered by delivery vehicle 7, since there is no non-related package (NO in step S4), display control unit 57 always shifts to step S9.
In step S9, display control apparatus 4 generates display data in which an icon indicating the position of delivery vehicle 7 in the delivery route of delivery vehicle 7 is superimposed on a map, and transmits the display data to the terminals used by the user (here, shipper terminal 2X, recipient terminal 3A, and administrator terminal 5), thereby causing the terminals to display the display data.
Based on the route information and the position information, display control unit 57 generates display data in which delivery route 65 to the delivery destination (here, base A) of the related package and icon 63 indicating the position of delivery vehicle 7 are superimposed on map 60 indicated by map information 51. Delivery route 65 indicates a route on map 60 on which delivery vehicle 7 is scheduled to actually travel, and icon 63 indicates an actual position of delivery vehicle 7 on delivery route 65. Note that the display data does not include the delivery route from base A to the delivery destination (here, base B) of the non-related package. Thus, the delivery status to base B can be hidden from shipper X and recipient A.
Based on the route information and the position information, display control unit 57 generates display data in which delivery route 65 to the delivery destinations (here, base A and base B) of the related package and icon 63 indicating the position of delivery vehicle 7 are superimposed on map 60 indicated by map information 51. Delivery route 65 indicates a route on map 60 on which delivery vehicle 7 is scheduled to actually travel, and icon 63 indicates an actual position of delivery vehicle 7 on delivery route 65. The display data includes the delivery route to the delivery destinations (base A and base B) of the related packages (packages a, b) for the administrator of delivery vehicle 7, and does not include the delivery route to the delivery destination of the package which is not set as the delivery target by delivery vehicle 7. As a result, the delivery route of a package other than the package delivered by delivery vehicle 7, that is, the delivery route of the package delivered by a vehicle managed by another administrator different from the administrator of delivery vehicle 7 can be prevented from being shown to the administrator of delivery vehicle 7.
As described above, according to Embodiment 1 of the present disclosure, since the delivery destination of non-related package a is not included in abstracted route 62 shown in
Note that abstracted route 62 is a straight line connecting the delivery origin and the delivery destination of related package b. Therefore, icon 63 corresponding to the position of delivery vehicle 7 can be displayed on the straight line, and the user can intuitively grasp the rough position of delivery vehicle 7, the remaining distance to the delivery destination, and the like.
When related package b approaches base B which is the delivery destination of related package b, icon 63 is displayed on the normal delivery route 65 as shown in
Further, since congested section 64 is displayed on abstracted route 62 shown in
As shown in
Also, as shown in
When package a is the related package, as shown in
When the user is the shipper of the package, the related package is the package delivered from the shipper. Therefore, the delivery route of a package other than the package delivered from the shipper can be prevented from being shown to the shipper of the package.
When the user is the recipient of the package, the related package is the package delivered to the recipient. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the delivery route of a package other than the package delivered to the recipient from being shown to the recipient of the package.
When the user is the administrator of delivery vehicle 7 or the administrator of the package delivered by delivery vehicle 7, the related package is the package delivered by delivery vehicle 7. Therefore, the delivery route of a package other than the package delivered by delivery vehicle 7, that is, the delivery route of the package delivered by a vehicle managed by another administrator different from the administrator of delivery vehicle 7 can be prevented from being shown to the administrator of delivery vehicle 7.
In addition, when there is a possibility that the delivery route of the non-related package is known to the user, an abstracted route that does not include the delivery destination of the non-related package is obtained. For this reason, it is possible to naturally display the delivery status of the related package to the user without the delivery route of the non-related package being known to the user who is another shipper or another recipient.
In Embodiment 1, abstracted route 62 is indicated by the straight line as shown in
The configuration of collective delivery system 1 is similar to that of Embodiment 1. Therefore, a detailed description thereof is not be repeated here. A method of generating display data by display control unit 57 is different from that in Embodiment 1. That is, display control unit 57 generates the display data as follows.
Here, display control unit 57 does not generate an abstracted route 67 passing through an area where delivery vehicle 7 cannot travel, such as a river 68, but generates abstracted route 66 passing through an area where delivery vehicle 7 can travel, such as the ground.
Display control unit 57 superimposes icon 63 indicating the position of delivery vehicle 7 on abstracted route 66. Icon 63 is arranged at a position on abstracted route 66 corresponding to the position of delivery vehicle 7 in delivery route 61 of related package b. For example, in delivery route 61 shown in
Also, display control unit 57 displays congested section 64 on abstracted route 66 based on congested section information acquisition unit 56. For example, in delivery route 61 shown in
Thus, the delivery status of related package b can be presented to the user without giving a sense of incongruity to the user.
In Embodiment 1, abstracted route 62 is represented by the straight line as shown in
The configuration of collective delivery system 1 is similar to that of Embodiment 1. Therefore, a detailed description thereof is not repeated here. A method of generating display data by display control unit 57 is different from that in Embodiment 1. That is, display control unit 57 generates the display data as follows.
Here, each area 69 is an area based on the arrival distance from the delivery origin of related package b. For example, area 69A indicates an area whose distance from the delivery center is equal to or greater than a and less than b. Area 69B indicates an area whose distance from the delivery center is equal to or greater than b and less than c. Area 69C indicates an area whose distance from the delivery center is equal to or greater than c and less than d. Here, a<b<c<d is assumed. Each area is displayed in a different mode (for example, different color, hatching, or the like) so as to be distinguished from other adjacent areas. Note that area 69B is an area including a congested section, and is displayed in a mode (for example, red) that it can be seen that it includes the congested section. That is, it is indicated that the congestion occurs in a range where the distance from the delivery center is equal to or greater than b and less than c.
Display control unit 57 arranges icon 63 on a straight line 90 connecting the delivery center and base B which is the delivery destination of related package b on map 60. Icon 63 is arranged at a position on straight line 90 corresponding to the position of delivery vehicle 7 in delivery route 61 of related package b shown in
According to Embodiment 3, the user can intuitively grasp the arrival distance of delivery vehicle 7 from the delivery origin of related package b by recognizing areas 69A to 69C in which icon 63 is superimposed and displayed.
However, each area 69 is not limited to the area based on the arrival distance from the delivery origin (delivery center) of related package b. For example, each area 69 may be an area based on an arrival distance from the delivery destination (base B) of related package b. That is, each area 69 indicates an area whose arrival distance from base B is included in the same predetermined range. The ranges of the arrival distances of areas 69A to 69C are set so as not to overlap each other. Thus, the user can intuitively grasp the arrival distance from delivery vehicle 7 to the delivery destination of related package b.
Also, each area 69 may be an area based on the arrival time from the delivery origin (delivery center) of related package b. That is, each area 69 indicates an area in which the arrival time from the delivery center is included in the same predetermined range. The ranges of the arrival times of areas 69A to 69C are set so as not to overlap each other. For example, area 69A indicates a reachable range within 20 minutes or more and less than 40 minutes from the delivery center. Area 69B indicates a range reachable from the delivery center within 40 minutes or more and less than 60 minutes. Area 69C indicates a range reachable from the delivery center within 60 minutes or more and less than 80 minutes.
Also, each area 69 may be an area based on the arrival time from the delivery destination (base B) of related package b. That is, each area 69 indicates an area in which the arrival time from base B is included in the same predetermined range. The ranges of the arrival times of areas 69A to 69C are set so as not to overlap each other.
