Abstract

An information processing method, a server, and a logistics terminal are provided. The information processing method includes receiving a query request sent by a logistics terminal; determining, in at least one prestored order, target order information that corresponds to an authentication identifier and includes a delivery address within a delivery distance threshold range that uses a current location of the logistics terminal as a center; feeding back the determined target order information to the logistics terminal; and pushing online prompt information to a corresponding ordering user terminal according to the ordering user account in the target order after an arrival notice instruction sent by the logistics terminal is received. It can be seen that, in this solution, the objectives are achieved of improving goods delivery efficiency and reducing a delivery cost.
