Abstract
To improve utilization efficiency of a delivery port and an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), a delivery port management system includes obtaining means for obtaining a delivery destination of a package that is transported by a UAV approaching a facility having a plurality of delivery ports and a plurality of delivery destinations, the delivery ports receiving packages, port selecting means for selecting a delivery port to which the UAV delivers the package among the plurality of delivery ports based on the delivery destination of the package after the UAV has departed for the facility, and guiding means for sending information for guiding the UAV to the selected delivery port.
Claims10
A delivery port management system, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory device that stores a plurality of instructions, which when executed by the at least one processor, causes the at least one processor to:
- obtain a delivery destination of a package that is transported by an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) approaching a facility having a plurality of delivery ports and a plurality of delivery destinations, the delivery ports receiving packages;
- select a delivery port to which the UAV delivers the package among the plurality of delivery ports based on the delivery destination of the package after the UAV has departed for the facility;
- and
- send information for guiding the UAV to the selected delivery port.
A delivery port management method, comprising:
- obtaining, with at least one processor operating with a memory device, a delivery destination of a package that is transported by a UAV approaching a facility having a plurality of delivery ports and a plurality of delivery destinations, the delivery ports receiving packages;
- selecting, with at least one processor operating with a memory device, a delivery port to which the UAV delivers the package among the plurality of delivery ports based on the delivery destination of the package after the UAV has departed for the facility;
- and
- sending, with at least one processor operating with a memory device, information for guiding the UAV to the selected delivery port.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing a plurality of instructions, and when executed by at least one processor, the plurality of instructions cause the at least one processor to:
- obtain a delivery destination of a package that is transported by a UAV approaching a facility having a plurality of delivery ports and a plurality of delivery destinations, the delivery ports receiving packages;
- select a delivery port to which the UAV delivers the package among the plurality of delivery ports based on the delivery destination of the package after the UAV has departed for the facility;
- and
- send information for guiding the UAV to the selected delivery port.
