[24] FIG. 1 is a diagram for explaining a method for supporting packing and
delivery of products according to one embodiment of the present invention.
[25] Referring to FIG. 1, one embodiment of the present invention may support
a user to pack at least one product according to an ordered product list, and support
25 the user to deliver the packed product or a box that packs the product. The product
packing may be performed by using picking boxes in which products are picked
through a picking work, in other words, may refer to packing for products in the
picking boxes.
[26] According to one embodiment, various functions may be provided to
30 support the packing and/or delivering of the user. In particular, when the quantity
in the picking box is insufficient for a plurality of products, or when packing
becomes complicated, for example, when the packing method is different for each
7
5 product, the user can be effectively supported by using a QR code. In addition,
delivery location information can be easily checked by using the QR code, a routing
guide can also be directly provided by linking with a navigation system, and
delivery completion in non-face-to-face delivery can be guaranteed by
photographing an image. In addition, according to one embodiment, the attendance
10 of the user can be efficiently managed by using the QR code in addition to the
above-described packing and/or delivering.
[27] In other words, according to one embodiment, the user may be provided
with order detail information based on the QR code of the order confirmation, and
supported to select packing precaution information or the number of products one
15 by one, and check the corresponding information once again by changing colors
upon completion of the selection. Accordingly, incorrect packing may be
effectively prevented.
[28] In addition, according to one embodiment, orderer's delivery location
information and orderer's name information may be provided based on an invoice
20 QR code, and the provided information may be compared to an invoice, so that
corresponding information may be supported to be checked once again.
Accordingly, likewise, incorrect delivering may be effectively prevented.
[29] The method for supporting packing and/or delivery of products according
to one embodiment may be performed by a computing device such as a smartphone
25 or tablet, that is, a smart device, and may also be provided through an application
or a web browser. In addition, since mobility or portability may be required for
packing and/or delivering products, the smart device may be a portable device or a
wearable device. In other words, the device for executing the product packing
and/or delivery supporting method may be a device carried by the user or may be
30 attached to a specific position, and frequently checked and operated by the user
while packing and/or delivering products.
[30] In addition, a device for the product packing supporting method and a device
for the product delivery supporting method may be separately provided. In other
8
5 words, when the user performing the packing and a person in charge of performing
the delivery are different, the separated methods may be provided on different
devices. However, one device may be provided with all functions, in which the
packing supporting method may be provided in the device of the user performing
packing, and the delivery supporting method may be provided in the device of the
10 person in charge of performing delivery.
[31] Hereinafter, the method for supporting packing of products will be
described in detail together with screens of the device for providing the product
packing supporting method or the product packing supporting device with reference
to FIGS. 2 to 9. In addition, the method for supporting delivery of products will be
15 described in detail together with screens of the device for providing the product
delivery supporting method or the product delivery supporting device with

[32]
[33] FIGS. 2 to 7 are diagrams illustrating a screen of a user terminal performing
20 the product packing supporting method according to one embodiment of the present
invention.
[34] FIGS. 2 to 7 may be screens showing a series of process of the product
packing supporting method.
[35] First, referring to FIG. 2, log-in may be performed by inputting account
25 information of a user. The account information may include ID and password, and
a separate certificate may be used.
[36] According to one embodiment, when the account information may be
obtained from the user, log-in may be performed based thereon, and information
about corresponding tasks may be provided to the user. In addition, when the upper
30 left icon is additionally selected, at least one of a task history check function, an
attendance input function, and an attendance statistics check function may be
provided to the user.
9
5 [37] For example, according to one embodiment referring to FIG. 3, when the
user selects the attendance input, information on one of coming to work or leaving
from work may be selected by the user as an attendance status, and a quick response
(QR) code may be scanned by the user. When the QR code is scanned, the
attendance status selected by the user may be registered.
10 [38] In other words, according to one embodiment, information on tasks in
charge may be provided to the user. According to one embodiment, referring to
FIG. 4, at least one of period information, participation task information,
completion information and cancellation information may be selected in order to
set conditions for searching for tasks in charge by the user. Thus, according to one
15 embodiment, the information about the user's tasks in charge may be filtered and
provided.
[39] In addition, according to one embodiment, the barcode icon at an upper right
corner may be selected by the user, and accordingly, the user may be provided with
a screen of scanning the QR code, a list of delivering status changes, and a checkbox
20 for going to the order details. In this case, the user may set the list of delivering
status changes as Products being packed, check the checkbox for Going to order
details, and then scan the QR code on the order confirmation. The order
confirmation may be included in the picking box.
[40] When the QR code is scanned after the checkbox for Going to order details
25 is checked, order details corresponding to the QR code may be immediately
provided on the screen. When the QR code is scanned without checking the
checkbox for Going to order details, only the order information corresponding to
the QR code may be included in the information about tasks in charge, and the order
detail information may not be provided immediately.
30 [41] For example, according to one embodiment, when the order detail
information is provided immediately by scanning the QR code, packing precaution
information may be displayed at the top of the screen. For example, the packing
precaution information may include information about packing materials, such as
10
5 recycling of packing materials and/or eco-friendly packing and addition of bottled
water, information on whether an orderer is the best customer, and additional
packing precautions. For example, the information related to packing materials
among the packing precaution information may be displayed at the top, the
information on whether an orderer is the best customer may be displayed below the
10 information related to the packing materials, and the additional packing precautions
may be displayed thereafter.
