METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PARCEL DELIVERY IN A UBIQUITOUS ENVIRONMENT AND AUTHENTICATION SERVER THEREFOR

摘要

The invention provides a method and system for precise parcel delivery via mobile devices in a ubiquitous environment and an authentication server therefor. A reception center receives a request for parcel delivery from a sender and attaches a tag storing assigned individual ID and parcel information to the parcel. A deliverer terminal deciphers the tag attached to the parcel to confirm the parcel information and requests receiver authentication via the parcel information and receives an authentication result. Also, a receiver terminal transmits an electronic signature to an authentication server to request receiver authentication for the parcel delivered to a receiver. The authentication server assigns the individual ID to the parcel, transmits the individual ID to the reception center and authenticates the receiver according to the electronic signature transmitted from the receiver terminal. This allows precise parcel delivery to any place at any time.
