Abstract

A call allocation system includes a server which extracts first concentration areas matched with an operating time of the commercial vehicle among a concentration areas, extracts a second concentration area corresponding to a grade of the commercial vehicle among first concentration areas, and transmits a first message requesting movement thereof to the second concentration area to vehicle terminal of commercial vehicle, wherein the server allocates the call of the customer terminal, in which a departure or a destination is located in the second concentration area, to the commercial vehicle when the commercial vehicle enters the second concentration area, the concentration area is an area in which an average value of a number of calls per unit time corresponding to the operating time is a first reference value or more than the first reference value among areas divided according to a predetermined reference, and the grade is a score of evaluating satisfaction of the commercial vehicle.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A call allocation system comprising:
as a system for allocating a call of a customer terminal to a commercial vehicle, a server which is configured to extract a plurality of first concentration areas matched with an operating time of the commercial vehicle among a plurality of concentration areas, to extract a second concentration area corresponding to a grade of the commercial vehicle among the plurality of first concentration areas, and to transmit a first message requesting movement thereof to the second concentration area to the vehicle terminal of the commercial vehicle, wherein the server is configured to allocate the call of the customer terminal, in which a departure or a destination is located in the second concentration area, to the commercial vehicle when the commercial vehicle enters the second concentration area, wherein the concentration area is an area in which an average value of a number of calls per unit time corresponding to the operating time is a first reference value or more than the first reference value among a plurality of areas divided according to a predetermined reference, and wherein the grade is a score of evaluating satisfaction of the commercial vehicle.

2 . The call allocation system of claim 1 , wherein the first reference value is an average value of the number of calls occurring in the plurality of areas per unit time for a predetermined period.

3 . The call allocation system of claim 1 ,
wherein the server is configured to extract a first concentration area in a first call group as the second concentration area for the commercial vehicle in a first grade group, wherein the first call group is a group corresponding to a largest average value, when the plurality of first concentration areas are classified into three call groups based on the average value, and wherein the first grade group is a group corresponding to a highest score range, when a score range of the grade is classified into three grade groups according to a predetermined reference.

4 . The call allocation system of claim 3 ,
wherein the server is configured to extract a first concentration area in a second call group as the second concentration area for the commercial vehicle in a second grade group, wherein the second call group is a group corresponding to an average medium value among the three call groups, and wherein the second grade group is a group corresponding to a medium score range among the three grade groups.

5 . The call allocation system of claim 4 ,
wherein the server is configured to extract a first concentration area in a third call group as the second concentration area for the commercial vehicle in a third grade group, wherein the third call group is a group corresponding to a smallest average value among the three call groups, and wherein the third grade group is a group corresponding to a lower score range among the three grade groups.

6 . The call allocation system of claim 1 , wherein the server is configured:
to determine whether a congestion area occurs by monitoring the second concentration area entered by the commercial vehicle, and as a result of the determining, when the congestion area occurs, to sequentially transmit a second message to a vehicle terminal of a commercial vehicle corresponding to each grade in an order from a low grade to a high grade among commercial vehicles operating in the congestion area until the congestion area is released, wherein the second message includes information related to a plurality of third concentration areas located adjacent to the congestion area, wherein the congestion area is an area in which a number of the commercial vehicles during operating is more than the number of calls.

7 . A call allocation system comprising:
as a system for allocating a call of a customer terminal to a commercial vehicle, a server which is configured to extract a plurality of first concentration areas matched with an operating time of the commercial vehicle among a plurality of concentration areas, to extract a first preference area corresponding to a grade of the commercial vehicle among the plurality of first concentration areas, and to transmit a first message requesting movement thereof to the first preference area to the vehicle terminal of the commercial vehicle, wherein the server is configured to allocate the call of the customer terminal, in which a departure or a destination is located in the first preference area, to the commercial vehicle when the commercial vehicle enters the first preference area, wherein the concentration area is an area in which an average value of a number of calls per unit time corresponding to the operating time is a first reference value or more than the first reference value among a plurality of areas divided according to a predetermined reference, and wherein preference of the commercial vehicle is determined by analysis for an area where the commercial vehicle is operating or analysis for an area where a driver of the commercial vehicle prefers.

8 . The call allocation system of claim 7 , wherein the first reference value is an average value of the number of calls occurring in the plurality of areas per unit time for a predetermined period.

9 . The call allocation system of claim 7 ,
wherein the first preference area is an area where the operating time of the commercial vehicle is a second reference value or more than the second reference value or an area selected by the driver of the commercial vehicle among the plurality of first concentration areas, and wherein the second reference value is an average of a total time operated by the commercial vehicle in the plurality of first concentration areas.

10 . The call allocation system of claim 7 , wherein the server is configured:
to determine whether a congestion area occurs by monitoring the first preference area entered by the commercial vehicle, and as a result of the determining, when the congestion area occurs, to sequentially transmit a second message to a vehicle terminal of a commercial vehicle corresponding to each grade in an order from a low grade to a high grade among commercial vehicles operating in the congestion area until the congestion area is released, wherein the second message includes information related to a plurality of second preference areas located adjacent to the congestion area, wherein the congestion area is an area in which a number of the commercial vehicles during operating is more than the number of calls, and wherein the grade is a score of evaluating satisfaction of the commercial vehicle.

11 . A call allocation method comprising:
as a method for allocating a call of a customer terminal to a commercial vehicle subscribing to a call allocation service, extracting, by a server, a plurality of first concentration areas matched with an operating time of the commercial vehicle among a plurality of concentration areas, extracting, by the server, a second concentration area corresponding to a grade of the commercial vehicle among the plurality of first concentration areas, and transmitting, by the server, a first message requesting movement thereof to the second concentration area to the vehicle terminal of the commercial vehicle to guide the second concentration area; and providing, by the server, the call allocation service by allocating the call of the customer terminal, in which a departure or a destination is located in the second concentration area, to the commercial vehicle when the commercial vehicle enters the second concentration area.

12 . The call allocation method of claim 11 ,
wherein the concentration area is an a
