APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR ESTIMATING WORKLOAD
First Claim
1. An apparatus for estimating a workload, comprising:
- a route manager configured to generate comparison result information by comparing an actual travel route of a mail carrier with an optimum service route on the basis of obtained global positioning system (GPS) information, and then provide the generated comparison result information;
a delivery point determiner configured to determine a delivery point on the basis of the obtained GPS information and provide information about the determined delivery point;
a GPS information statistics unit configured to provide statistical information obtained by interpreting the obtained GPS information; and
an information output unit configured to convert information obtained from one of the route manager, the delivery point determiner, and the GPS information statistics unit to be output as a document, or process the information to be checked by the mail carrier through a user interface (UI).

Abstract
The apparatus includes a route manager configured to generate comparison result information by comparing an actual travel route of a mail carrier with an optimum service route on the basis of obtained global positioning system (GPS) information and then provide the generated comparison result information, a delivery point determiner configured to determine a delivery point on the basis of the obtained GPS information and provide information about the determined delivery point, a GPS information statistics unit configured to provide statistical information obtained by interpreting the obtained GPS information, and an information output unit configured to convert information obtained from one of the route manager, the delivery point determiner, and the GPS information statistics unit to be output as a document, or process the information to be checked by the mail carrier through a user interface (UI). Accordingly, efficiency of a collection and delivery service can be improved.
