Abstract

The application relates to the field of logistics, and discloses an intelligent cloud delivery and billing method and system for logistics apparatus to solve the problem of low delivery efficiency of the logistics apparatus in the case of mixed storage of logistics apparatuses of multiple users. In the present invention, the logistics apparatuses of a first user and other users are mixedly stored in a first area; a server receives uploaded identifications of the N logistics apparatuses, and these N logistics apparatuses are arbitrarily selected from the first area; the server adjusts the N logistics apparatuses involving in the physical delivery to belong to a second user according to the identifications of the N logistics apparatuses involving in the physical delivery, and adjusts belonging relationships of the logistics apparatuses except the N logistics apparatuses involving in the physical delivery in the first area.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An intelligent cloud delivery method for logistics apparatus, wherein logistics apparatuses of a first user and other users are mixedly stored in a first area, the method comprising:
receiving, by a server, identifications of N logistics apparatuses uploaded by a terminal, the identifications of the N logistics apparatuses are identifications of N logistics apparatuses actually selected from the mixedly stored first area and involving in physical delivery when the N logistics apparatuses of the first user are need to be physically delivered to a second user, wherein N is a positive integer;
adjusting, by the server, the N logistics apparatuses involving in the physical delivery to belong to the second user according to the identifications of the N logistics apparatuses involving in the physical delivery, adjusting the N logistics apparatuses involved in the physical delivery comprises: resetting the identifications of the N logistics apparatuses involved in the physical delivery by the server; and
adjusting, by the server, belonging relationships of the logistics apparatuses in the first area except the N logistics apparatuses involving in the physical delivery,
wherein the identifications of the N logistics apparatuses in the physical delivery include logistics apparatuses corresponding to M identifications that do not belong to the first user before delivery, wherein M is a positive integer not greater than N.

2. The intelligent cloud delivery method for logistics apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the step of adjusting by the server belonging relationships of the logistics apparatuses in the first area except the N logistics apparatuses involving in the physical delivery, comprising:
selecting M logistics apparatuses from the logistics apparatuses belonging to the first user, and adjusting the selected M logistics apparatuses to belong to the other users.

3. The intelligent cloud delivery method for logistics apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the step of adjusting by the server belonging relationships of the logistics apparatuses in the first area except the N logistics apparatuses involving in the physical delivery, comprising:
resetting belonging relationships of the logistics apparatuses in the first area except the N logistics apparatuses involving in the physical delivery according to numbers of the logistics apparatuses that each user should own.

4. The intelligent cloud delivery method for logistics apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the selection is to randomly select N logistics apparatuses among the logistics apparatuses mixedly stored in the first area for physical delivery.

5. The intelligent cloud delivery method for logistics apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the selection is to select N mutually adjacent logistics apparatuses among the logistics apparatuses mixedly stored in the first area for physical delivery.

6. The intelligent cloud delivery method for logistics apparatus according to claim 1 ,
the step of adjusting by the server belonging relationships of the logistics apparatuses in the first area except the N logistics apparatuses involving in the physical delivery, comprising: resetting one or more identifications of logistics apparatuses in the first areas except the N logistics apparatuses involving in the physical delivery.

7. The intelligent cloud delivery method for logistics apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the physical delivery is triggered by one of the following conditions:
the N logistics apparatuses have transferred property rights and left an agreed area;
the N logistics apparatuses have transferred property rights and reached an agreed area;
the N logistics apparatuses have transferred property rights and changed from empty state to full state.

8. The intelligent cloud delivery method for logistics apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the logistics apparatuses are logistics apparatus in empty state.

9. A billing method for logistics apparatus rental, wherein comprising:
performing, intelligent cloud delivery for logistics apparatus according to the method of claim 1 , wherein when adjusting belonging relationships of the logistics apparatuses, resetting the identifications of the logistics apparatuses whose belonging relationships are adjusted, and recording historical records of resetting the identifications of the logistics apparatuses;
querying, usage period of the logistics apparatuses rented by a user of the logistics apparatuses according to the historical records;
billing, the user of the logistics apparatus according to the usage period.

10. The intelligent cloud delivery method for logistics apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the logistics apparatuses mixedly stored in the first area include one or more logistics apparatuses of the first user and one or more logistics apparatuses of at least one of the other users.

11. The intelligent cloud delivery method for logistics apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the logistics apparatuses mixedly stored in the first area are of the same type.

12. The intelligent cloud delivery method for logistics apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the logistics apparatuses mixedly stored in the first area have similar basic functions and appearances.

13. The intelligent cloud delivery method for logistics apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising: receiving a request from the second user for N logistics apparatuses from the first user.

14. The intelligent cloud delivery method for logistics apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein adjusting the N logistics apparatuses involved in the physical delivery comprises: resetting the identifications of the N logistics apparatuses involved in the physical delivery by the server.
