DELIVERY SYSTEM, CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM STORING PROGRAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17978381 titled 'DELIVERY SYSTEM, CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM STORING PROGRAM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a system for delivering articles using a delivery vehicle that can be transported within a transportation vehicle. The transportation vehicle has an unloading mechanism and a control unit to control the unloading process. The delivery vehicle receives a control signal from the control unit and gets out of the transportation vehicle based on that signal.

  • The system allows for the transportation of a delivery vehicle within a larger transportation vehicle.
  • The transportation vehicle has an unloading mechanism controlled by a control unit.
  • The delivery vehicle receives a control signal from the control unit to get out of the transportation vehicle.
  • The delivery vehicle then delivers the article to the intended destination.

Potential Applications

  • This system can be used in the logistics industry for efficient transportation and delivery of articles.
  • It can be applied in various delivery services, such as e-commerce, food delivery, or postal services.

Problems Solved

  • The system solves the problem of increasing power consumption in delivery vehicles by allowing them to be transported within a larger vehicle.
  • It addresses the challenge of optimizing delivery routes and reducing fuel consumption.

Benefits

  • The system reduces power consumption by transporting the delivery vehicle within a larger vehicle.
  • It improves efficiency by allowing the delivery vehicle to be transported to multiple delivery destinations.
  • The system enables better route planning and optimization, leading to cost savings and reduced environmental impact.


Original Abstract Submitted

It is possible to suppress increase in power consumption of a delivery vehicle within a transportation vehicle. A delivery system includes: an autonomously-moving-type delivery vehicle configured to deliver an article; and a transportation vehicle configured to carry and transport the delivery vehicle, in which after the transportation vehicle carrying the delivery vehicle travels toward a delivery destination of the article, the delivery vehicle gets out of the transportation vehicle and delivers the article to the delivery destination. The transportation vehicle includes an unloading mechanism for letting the delivery vehicle get out of the transportation vehicle and a control unit configured to control the unloading mechanism. The delivery vehicle receives a control signal for controlling the unloading mechanism output from the control unit and gets out of the transportation vehicle based on the control signal.
