发明名称 METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR AUTOMATING A LOGISTICS TRANSACTION USING AN AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE AND ELEMENTS OF A WIRELESS NODE NETWORK
摘要 Methods, systems, and node-enabled autonomous transport vehicles are described for automating a logistics transaction using a plurality of nodes and a server in a wireless node network. A first node is associated with a shipping courier and downloads shipment information from the server. The shipment information identifies a package for the logistics transaction, a transaction location, and an identification of a second node associated with the package. The first node provides the shipment information to a third node, which is part of an autonomous vehicle. The third node causes the autonomous vehicle to move from a first location to the transaction location, and conducts the logistics transaction related to the package if the third node on the autonomous vehicle completes a node association with the second node associated with the package.

主权项 1. A method for automating a logistics transaction using a plurality of nodes and a server in a wireless node network, comprising: downloading, by a first of the nodes, shipment information from the server, the shipment information identifying a package for the logistics transaction, a transaction location for the logistics transaction, and an identification of a second of the nodes associated with the package, wherein the first node is associated with a shipping courier; providing, by the first node, the shipment information to a third of the nodes, wherein the third node is part of an autonomous vehicle; causing, by the third node, the autonomous vehicle to move from a first location to the transaction location; and conducting, by the third node, the logistics transaction related to the package if the third node on the autonomous vehicle completes a node association with the second node associated with the package.
