SERVER AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17871158 titled 'SERVER AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a server that determines the best delivery route for a package based on various factors such as location information, shipment readiness time, and means of transport. The server communicates with the terminals of the sender, deliverer, and receiver to gather necessary information and then determines multiple delivery plans based on estimated receiver locations at different time points. It selects the final delivery plan considering factors like delivery time, safety of the receipt location, and means of transport of the deliverer. The final delivery plan is then transmitted to the terminals of the sender, deliverer, and receiver.
