INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE, INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM, AND INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240135310 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE, INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM, AND INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an information processing device that calculates the delivery company burden for different combinations of parcels and mobile objects, based on various information such as mobile object information, parcel information, pickup delivery information, map information, weather information, and traffic information. The device then determines the optimum combination that minimizes the delivery company burden and outputs this information.

  • Acquisition unit acquires mobile object information, parcel information, pickup delivery information, map information, weather information, and traffic information.
  • Calculation control unit calculates the delivery company burden for each combination of target parcels and a mobile object.
  • Determination unit identifies the optimum combination based on the calculated delivery company burden.
  • Output unit displays the optimum combination.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in the logistics industry to optimize delivery routes and reduce costs for delivery companies.

Problems Solved

This technology helps in minimizing the delivery company burden by determining the most efficient combination of parcels and mobile objects for delivery.

Benefits

- Cost savings for delivery companies - Improved efficiency in delivery operations
