Method for detecting misdelivery using courier location data
The patent US12045762B2 outlines a method for detecting misdelivery of items by an electronic apparatus in conjunction with a courier terminal. The method involves monitoring the location of the courier terminal using multiple sources of location information, including satellite and base station communications. It establishes a timeline of the courier's movements by acquiring points on a map that correspond to these locations at different times. The method generates trajectory lines based on these points and compares them against a defined delivery area to determine if a misdelivery has occurred. Additionally, the system can trigger an alarm if a misdelivery is detected, providing visual evidence from previous deliveries.
Further enhancements to the method include detecting changes in signal intensity, which can indicate significant location shifts, and generating additional trajectory lines for more accurate misdelivery assessments. The method also allows for the creation of polygons that represent the courier's movement, which can be analyzed to confirm whether the delivery aligns with the intended address. The electronic apparatus is designed to communicate with the courier terminal, facilitating real-time data exchange and ensuring that delivery completion information is accurately recorded. This comprehensive approach aims to improve the reliability of delivery services by minimizing errors associated with item misdelivery.
