The driver terminal 70 may be a personal terminal such as a laptop, a personal computer, a smart phone, or the like, and an application necessary to provide a pet care service may be installed in the driver terminal 70.
The pet medical integration server 90 may be configured to collect, store, and manage records for the treated pet from the pet hospitals that provide pet medical care. The management server 10 may be configured to receive information about the pet subject to a pet care service requested from the user terminal 20, and request medical records for the pet to the pet medical integration server 90. The pet medical integration server 90 may be configured to derive medical records for the pet in response thereto and transmit the medical records to the management server 10. The management server 10 may be configured to receive medical records and analyze whether there is a restriction in the pet being provided with the pet care service requested from the user terminal 20 based on the medical records. The management server 10 may be configured to transmit, along with a reason, that the pet care service cannot be received to the user terminal 20 when there is a restriction in the pet being provided with the requested service, as a result of the analysis.
The user may be configured to select and reserve a service option and a pet care service for a pet using the user terminal 20. In particular, the user terminal 20 may be a pet-only service terminal or a personal terminal. When the user terminal 20 is a personal terminal such as a laptop, a personal computer, a smart phone, etc., the user may use a pet care service by installing an application on the user terminal 20. The user terminal 20 may be configured to transmit and receive necessary information to and from the management server 10 via wired/wireless communication. Hereinafter, the procedure through the user terminal 20 may be performed through a pet-only service terminal or an application installed in the user terminal 20.
The service option may include a goods delivery service, a pet transport service, and a total service that provides a goods delivery service and a pet transport service together. The pet transport service may include a pet-only transport service and a companion transport service in which at least one passenger accompanies the vehicle along with the pet. The at least one passenger may include the user. The pet care service may include a plurality of categories, and the plurality of categories may include a first category for a daily care that is repeatedly provided daily, a second category for leisure of a pet, a third category related to health of a pet, and the like.

When reserving a pet care service through the user terminal 20, the user may select the partner offering the reserved pet care service, the service date/time, the goods to be delivered, and the delivery date/time. At this time, the service date and the delivery date of the goods may be the same. The management server 10 may be configured to obtain information on inventory status of provided goods, service availability, etc. through communication with the partner terminals 40_1 to 40_n in real time, and transmit the requested information to the user terminal 20 when requesting information on the partner from the user terminal 20.
Once the goods delivery reservation from the user terminal 20 is completed, the management server 10 may be configured to determine the optimal path of movement that connects the current location of the vehicle, the location of the goods purchase partner, and the delivery destination where the goods will be delivered, and predict the goods pickup time and delivery time based on the travel route. When the pet transport service reservation from the user terminal 20 is completed, the management server 10 may be configured to determine a travel route for the pet transportation and a time for getting the pet in the vehicle 50 at the departure point of the pet transportation based on traffic situation information between the departure point and the destination (partner company) to perform the pet transportation based on the service reservation time. Hereinafter, getting a pet in a vehicle at a departure point of a pet transportation is defined as a pickup.
When the goods delivery is reserved at the pet pickup time, to purchase goods at a partner company buying goods and arrive at the departure point of the pet transport on the pet pickup time, the management server 10 may be configured to determine a vehicle, a travel route (e.g., a path connecting a current vehicle location, the partner company, and the departure point), and a vehicle departure time for purchasing goods. The management server 10 may be configured to transmit and inform the pet pickup time to the user terminal 20. The management server 10 may be configured to acquire and store the payment method from the user terminal 20. The payment method may be preset prior to payment through the user terminal 20. For example, when a user first uses a pet care service, the user inputs payment information through the user terminal 20, and the management server 10 may be configured to receive and store the payment information from the user terminal 20. The user may update the payment information using the user terminal 20. The management server 10 may be configured to charge for a service reserved according to predetermined payment information or updated payment information.
The management server 10 may be configured to communicate with the partner terminal 40_i providing the requested service and reserve the service. When the management server 10 receives information that the requested service is normally reserved from the partner terminal 40_i, the management server 10 may be configured to transmit the information to the user terminal 20 to inform the user terminal 20 that the requested service has been reserved for the partner.
When the service requested by the partner terminal 40_i is rejected, the management server 10 may be configured to inform that the requested service is rejected and transmit information on an alternative partner to the user terminal 20. Alternatively, when the requested service is rejected, the user may request to the management server 10 the information about the partner that may be an alternative through the user terminal 20, and the management server 10 may be configured to update the validity information for the partners in response to the request and transmit the updated information about the alternative partners to the user terminal 20. The validity information may include information about a reservation time capable of reserving a service provided from a partner.
The management server 10 may be configured to receive the current locations of the waiting vehicles from the vehicle control server 30, select an optimal vehicle from among the waiting vehicles based on the goods purchase partner, the delivery destination, and the information on the departure point and the destination of the pet transportation. The waiting vehicle is a vehicle that is not currently operating, i.e., a vehicle that is not scheduled during a time to perform a reserved pet care service among vehicles under call waiting. If the waiting vehicle is an electric vehicle, the current battery capacity must be greater than that capable of operating to provide the reserved pet care service. The vehicle control server 30 may be configured to check the current location of the vehicle in real time and transmit the current location to the management server 10.
The management server 10 may be configured to predict a travel time based on a travel route between the goods purchase partner and the delivery destination and traffic information such as a traffic situation, etc. In addition, the management server 10 may be configured to predict a travel time based on a travel route between a departure point and a destination of the pet transportation and traffic information such as a traffic situation, etc. When the goods are delivered, the vehicle arrives at the delivery destination, and the vehicle driver may transfer the goods to the user and move to the location indicated by the vehicle control server 30. When a passenger travels along with the pet, or only the pet travels, the vehicle travels to the pet transport destination (service partner) after boarding the vehicle is completed at the departure point of the pet transportation. The passenger may be the user.
For a total service, if the goods delivery is reserved at the time of pickup, the goods may be delivered to the user at the departure point of the pet transportation. In the total service, if the goods delivery is reserved at the time of return pickup, the vehicle may return from the pet transport destination to the pet transport departure point after the service is terminated, and the goods may be delivered to the user. In the pet movement, the IP camera 80 provided in the vehicle may be configured to capture a video of the pet, and the video may be transmitted to the management server 10 via a communication device provided in the IP camera 80. If the vehicle arrives at the service partner, the pet may be handed over to a service provider in the service partner.
The service provider may be configured to transmit a service end time to the management server 10 through the partner terminal 40_i. The management server 10 may be configured to transmit the service end time to the user terminal 20. The user may reserve the pet transport service using the user terminal 20 to move to the next partner, return to the pet transport departure point, or to move to another place after the service termination. Alternatively, the user may reserve the return service together when the pet transport service is reserved. The return service is a service that returns to the pet transport departure point from the pet transport destination (service partner) based on the service end time. In the return, the pet may travel alone or move with the passenger. If the goods delivery and the pet transport service are reserved, the goods delivery time may be designated as a service end time. In particular, the vehicle may be moved from the pet transport departure point to the pet transport destination, and after the pet and the passenger (or pet alone) exit the vehicle, may be moved to the goods purchase partner, and then may be moved to the pet transport destination (service partner) prior to the service end time.
When the management server 10 receives a return service request after service termination from the user terminal 20, the management server 10 may be configured to transmit information on a pet's current location (e.g., pet transport destination), a departure time, and a return destination (e.g., pet transport departure point) to the vehicle control server 30. The vehicle control server 30 may be configured to select a vehicle having a minimum travel time or a shortest travel distance from among the waiting vehicles based on information on the pet's current location, departure time, and return destination.
A driver may inform the vehicle control server 30 that the vehicle may operate for the return service through the driver terminal 70. The vehicle control server 30 may be configured to receive information on a real-time location of the vehicle from the vehicle terminal 60. The driver may receive a goods delivery service, a pet transport service, or a total service from the management server 10 through the driver terminal 70, and may receive information on the location of the goods purchase partner, the pet transport departure point, the pet transport destination, the service reservation time, the goods delivery time, the pickup time, the return pickup time, and the like.
Hereinafter, a pet care service method according to an exemplary embodiment will be described. According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the pet care service is implemented in a plurality of steps performed according to a control instruction to the controller 12 of the management server 10. The management server 10 may be configured to receive information for managing the reserved pet care service, and transmit the information to the outside using the communication unit 11. The information necessary for the controller 12 to generate a control instruction may be stored in the database 13. For convenience of explanation, the performance subject of each step is described as being the management server 10.
First, a method of reserving a pet care service through the user terminal 20 will be described.
The service option may include a goods delivery service, a pet transport service, and a total service in which the goods delivery service and the pet transport service are combined, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto and other service options may be offered. The pet transport service through the pet mobility may include a service that transports pets only and a companion service that transports pets and passenger together. Information about options selected through the user terminal 20 may be transmitted to the management server 10. Then, a pet care service category may be displayed in the user terminal 20, and one of the categories may be selected through the user terminal 20 (S2). For example, if the selected option is a pet transport service or a total service, a plurality of categories for the pet care service may be displayed. Information for the service category selected through the user terminal 20 may be transmitted to the management server 10.
The management server 10 may be configured to compile the available partner service and the available reservation time of the partner for each service category in real time (S3). The management server 10 may be configured to transmit information on the available partner service belonging to the category selected by the user terminal 20 and the available reservation time of the available partner service to the user terminal 20 (S4). The management server 10 may be configured to check in real time information on services available and current reservation status for each partner by communicating with the partner terminal. The management server 10 may be configured to provide satisfaction level of each partner obtained through a separate evaluation process to the user terminal 20 with the information.
The partner service and the reservation time may be selected through the user terminal 20 (S5). At this time, a pet identification information for identifying the pet which the pet care service is provided may be transmitted to the management server 10 from the user terminal 20. The management server 10 may be configured to request the partner terminal 40_i to reserve a service of the partner selected through the user terminal 20 with the reservation time selected through the user terminal 20 (S6).
The management server 10 may be configured to receive a reservation approval for the reservation requested from the partner terminal 40_i (S7). Alternatively, in response to the request, the management server 10 may be configured to receive a reservation fail from the partner terminal 40_i (S8). At this time, the management server 10 may be configured to re-perform the step S3. After the step S3, the reservation may be approved through the steps S4-S7, or after the step S8, the steps S3-S7 are repeated again. When the user intends to reserve two or more services, above method may be repeated again from the step S1. When the service reservation is approved according to the step S6, the management server 10 may be configured to transmit the reservation confirmation to the user terminal 20.
As shown in
The management server 10 may be configured to derive partner services corresponding to the derived consumption tendency of the partner services (S10). The management server 10 may be configured to transmit the available partner service belonging to the category selected by the user terminal 20 among the partner services derived from the step S10 and the available reservation time of the available partner service to the user terminal 20 in the step S4.
Following the pet care service reservation shown in
The user may select the pet transport departure point and the departure option through the user terminal 20 (S11). The departure option may include whether the pet travels alone, whether the passenger travels with the pet, or the like. When the pet travels alone, the departure option may include options such as whether the user rides with the pet in the vehicle or whether the vehicle driver directly rides with the pet in the vehicle without the user's assistance. For example, if the departure point is the user's home, the user may transmit the password of the front door lock to the management server 10 through the user terminal 20, and the management server 10 may be configured to transmit the password to the driver terminal 70 to allow the vehicle driver to directly open the front door to enter and take out the pet.
The management server 10 may be configured to determine a travel route from the pet transport departure point to the pet transport destination, predict a travel time when the vehicle travels according to the determined travel route, and calculate a travel cost based on the predicted travel time (S12). The pet transport destination may be the location of the service partner. The management server 10 may be configured to predict a travel time required for the vehicle to arrive at a pet transport destination from a pet transport departure point on the reservation time based on a traffic situation for each day and time. At this time, the management server 10 may be configured to add a time (e.g., about 10 minutes) required for the pet to travel in the vehicle when the pet is traveling alone. The management server 10 may be configured to calculate a travel cost by adding a basic fee of a predetermined amount and a fee according to the predicted travel time. The management server 10 may be configured to add a particular fee to the calculated travel cost when the pet is traveling alone.
The management server 10 may be configured to output an inquiry as to whether a return pickup is required by the user terminal 20 (S13). In other words, if the user did not reserve a return pickup service, the management server 10 may be configured to output a notification requesting whether the user wants the vehicle to transport the pet from the pet transport destination to the pet transport departure point (or other place) after the pet care service is completed. In response to Step S13, when there is a return pickup request, the management server 10 may be configured to request the user terminal 20 to set a return pickup destination to obtain a return pickup destination (S14). In particular, a return pickup destination may be set as the pet transport departure point, and the user may set another place as the return pickup destination through the user terminal 20 instead of the departure point.
The expected service end time may be transmitted to the management server 10 through the partner terminal 40_i. Then, the management server 10 may be configured to transmit the expected service end time to the user terminal 20 (S15). The user may set the return pickup time based on the expected service end time through the user terminal 20 (S16). The user may set any time after the expected service end time to the return pickup time. The set return pickup time may then be transmitted to the management server 10. In response to Step S13, when there is not a return pickup request, the user may apply for a return pickup service later.
When the user additionally requests a return pickup, an expected service end time may be obtained by requesting an expected service end time to the management server 10 or the partner terminal 40_i through the user terminal 20 (S17). If the user and the pet move to the partner together, the user may obtain the service end time directly from the partner. Alternatively, even if the pet travels to a partner alone, the user may directly obtain the expected service end time through a wired/wireless phone call to the service partner.
The user may set the return pickup time based on the destination of the return pickup and the expected service end time while adding the return pickup service through the user terminal 20 (S18). The set return pickup time may then be transmitted to the management server 10. When there is no request for return pickup after step S16 or in response to step S13, a step described with reference to
The management server 10 may be configured to compile a list of goods and a quantity of each good sold by partners in real time by communicating with a plurality of partner terminals 40_1 to 40_n (S23). If a total service is requested, the management server 10 may be configured to separate the goods sold by the pet transport destination partner from the goods sold by the other partners, classify a list of goods and quantity of each good sold by the pet transport destination partner and the lists of goods and quantity of each good sold by the other partners, and transmit them to the user terminal 20.
The user may select goods to be delivered and a delivery method through the user terminal 20 (S24). Delivery methods may include delivery upon pickup and delivery upon return pickup. If the user has reserved only the pickup service, the delivery method may be selected as delivery at pickup. When the user also reserves the return pickup service, either at the time of pickup or at the time of return pickup may be selected. The management server 10 may be configured to receive the selected delivery goods and delivery method from the user terminal 20, obtain price information for the delivery goods from the partner terminal 40_i for selling the delivery goods, calculate the delivery goods price by collecting the price and quantity of the delivery goods, calculate the total goods cost by summing the delivery cost and the delivery goods price, and transmit the total goods cost to the user terminal 20 (S25).
The price policy for the delivery cost may be determined based on the purchase place of the goods and the delivery time of the goods. For example, when a purchase of a goods sold by a partner that provides a reserved pet care service is reserved, and the goods must be delivered at the time of return pickup after the pet care service is terminated, the delivery cost may not be incurred. When a purchase of a goods sold by a partner that provides a reserved pet care service is reserved and the goods needs to be delivered at the time of pickup before the pet care service, delivery cost according to delivery distance may be incurred. When the purchase of goods sold at another partner than the partner that provides the reserved service is reserved, delivery cost according to delivery distance may be incurred regardless of the time of return pickup or pickup. However, the delivery cost may be exempted when the price of the goods exceeds a predetermined amount.
First, the management server 10 may be configured to predict the total payment amount based on the travel cost calculated in step S12, the cost for the reserved pet care service, and the total goods cost calculated in step S25 in step (S26). The management server 10 may be configured to obtain a cost for the reserved pet care service from the partner terminal 40_i.
