BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION The present invention will be described based on embodiments and drawings. The drawings used here are FIGS. 1 to 8.

(FIG. 1) FIG. 1 shows a relationship between a rental locker and a control center A in the locker remote management system according to the present invention. The rental locker used in the present invention has a built-in sensor or the like that can determine whether or not the rental locker is used, and a controller installed next to the rental locker recognizes whether or not the rental locker is used. The controller is connected to the control center A by a wireless data communication network. The instructions issued from the control center A reach the controller,
The controller controls locking / unlocking of each rental locker.

The controller has a function not only of receiving an instruction from the control center but also of receiving a data input from a depositor or a takeout person who uses the rental locker and transmitting the data input to the control center. Further, a reading function may be provided to allow reading processing of various cards such as a payment IC card. The present invention is
The control center may directly control each rental locker, not limited to the case where the controller is provided between the rental locker and the control center.

(FIG. 2) FIG. 2 shows a first embodiment of depositing luggage in a rental locker. Instep X
Since the rental locker No. 302 (locker 302) installed at the east exit of the station is vacant, we decided to deposit luggage there (1). Party A who has put a baggage in the locker 302 requests the locker 302 to be locked by using his / her own Internet-compatible mobile phone (2). The locking request is made by transmitting at least the number of the locked locker to the control center A managing this locker 302. The locker number is
Displayed as "Locker installation location-Locker number".
In this case, since the installation location of the X station east exit locker is "325", the locker number is "325-302".

The control center A receives the locker number "325-302" and the identification number from the mobile phone of the instep A as a locking request from this instep. As the identification number, for example, the caller number “090-***” of the mobile phone of A and the email address “** @”
Although there are “**” and a terminal ID “*****”, the sender number “090-***” is to be received here. In response to this, the control center A locks the locker 302 by remote control via the controller (3). On the other hand, on the other hand, the sender number “090-***” related to the received lock request for the instep is stored as the management data of the locker 302 of the locker management database.

A few hours after the deposit, the instep locker 30
If you want to take out the luggage from item 2, make an unlock request to control center A (5). The unlock request is transmitted to the control center A by using the mobile phone owned by the instepor of the locker number of the deposited locker. At Control Center A, the locker number "325-302"
And the caller number of the mobile phone "09
0-*** "is received. Then, the caller number is collated with the caller number related to the lock request of the locker 302 stored in the locker management database (6). If the caller numbers match as a result of the collation, it is understood that the extractor who has requested the unlocking is the same person as the depositor. Therefore, the locker is unlocked by remote control. The instep can then remove the luggage from the locker 302 (8).

In this case, the locker usage fee is collected as shown in FIG.
As shown in (3), the charging is performed based on the user information and the usage time of the locker 302 stored in the locker management database. Then, this may be collected by using an existing charge collection system (for example, charge collection by a telephone company). Although not shown, a system may be adopted in which the controller is provided with an IC card reader as described above, and the IC card is held over a locker to collect the usage fee when depositing or taking out luggage.

(FIG. 3) FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram showing a second embodiment relating to the depositing of luggage in the rental locker. Figure 2
Unlike the case of the first embodiment, a password is used as a collation means for the person who takes out the password. When requesting locking
Send the unlocking password specified by Party A together with the locker number. And at the time of unlock request (2),
Send the locker number and unlock password. And
If the unlocking passwords match, the person who has issued the unlocking request can be authenticated. Therefore, the locker is unlocked by remote control. Then, the instep can take out the luggage from the locker 302. Further, the characteristic of the example of FIG. 3 is that if an unlocking password is known to anyone other than the depositor after sending an arbitrary unlocking password,
The point is that different people can take it out. If the customer is unable to retrieve it due to circumstances, or if it is used for the purpose of delivery, a third party can be notified by notifying the unlocking password.

(FIG. 4) FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram showing a third embodiment relating to the depositing of luggage in the rental locker. The use of the password is the same as in the case of the second embodiment of FIG. 3, but it is different from the case of the second embodiment of FIG. 3 in that the control center A gives an unlocking password.

Although not shown in the drawings, in the embodiments of FIGS. 1 to 3, a depositing state notification for notifying the depositing state or the extractor of the locker for renting a locker that does not request the unlocking even after a predetermined time has elapsed. Means may be provided. Since the locker user may have left his / her luggage in the locker and forgot it, such a user will be alerted.
In addition, this also improves the rotation rate of the locker.

(FIG. 5) FIG. 5 is a schematic view showing a first embodiment regarding reservation of a rental locker. He wants to leave his luggage in the rental locker at Y station after tens of minutes (0). In this case, A will make a reservation request to Control Center A (1). To make a reservation request, the control center A is sent to the control center A using the Internet-compatible mobile phone possessed by Party A, such as the location of the locker for which a reservation is desired and the time. The control center A receives the reservation request and also receives the caller number from the mobile phone used by A. Then, the lockers that match the reservation conditions are extracted (2). Information on the extracted lockers is notified to the party A as reservation information (3). The locker 201 at the Y station was extracted from the control center A (locker number “360-201”). "Reservation" is displayed on the locker 201 at the Y station so that the reservation status can be seen (4). Also in this case,
The locker may be locked by remote control so that it cannot be used by others (4).

After several tens of minutes, the reservation person He requests the control center A to use the luggage in front of the locker at the Y station (6). For the use request, the reserved locker number “360-201” is transmitted to the control center A. The control center A receives the reserved locker number "360-201" and also the caller number from the mobile phone of A used for transmitting the usage request. Then, the sender number is collated with the sender number as management data of the locker 201 stored in the locker management database (7). As a result of the verification, if the caller numbers match, the instep will be able to deposit the luggage.
(9).

When the control center A locks the locker in response to the reservation request, the locker is unlocked when the caller numbers match as a result of verification. And the instep will be able to deposit luggage
(9). The subsequent procedure is the same as in the case of the embodiment of FIGS.

(FIG. 6) FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram showing a second embodiment regarding reservation of a rental locker. Unlike the case of the first embodiment shown in FIG. 5, a password is used as the collating means. At the time of request for use, send the arbitrary reservation password specified by A with the locker number. Then, at the time of request for use (1), the locker number and the reservation password are also transmitted. Then, if the reservation passwords match, the depositor who has requested the use can be authenticated. Therefore, the locker is unlocked by remote control. Then, the instep can deposit the luggage in the locker 201.

A characteristic of the example of FIG. 6 is that after an arbitrary reservation password is transmitted, a person other than the reservation person can retrieve the reservation password by knowing the reservation password. Due to circumstances, it is possible for a third party to deposit by notifying the reservation password when the deposit cannot be deposited or for the purpose of delivery.

(FIG. 7) FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram showing a third embodiment relating to reservation of a locker for lending. 7 is similar to the case of the third embodiment of FIG. 6 in that a password is used, but is different from the case of the third embodiment of FIG. 6 in that the control center A gives a reservation password. .

(FIG. 8) In the embodiment relating to the reservation shown in FIGS. 5 to 7, there may be a case where the control center A cannot extract the locker that matches the reservation condition of the reservation person. In such a case, FIG. 8 shows that the alternative locker information providing means has a function of providing the alternative locker information from the locker management database so as to comply with the reservation conditions of the person who made the reservation.

Description will be made with reference to FIG. As a reservation request, Reservation Party Party A has sent to Control Center A the reservation requirements of using the lockers at the north exit of Z station after 2 hours. On the other hand, the locker extraction means could not extract the lockers that could be reserved because the lockers at the north exit of Z station were full. In this case, as alternative lockers, it is possible to make reservations, firstly rental lockers in the same station premises, secondly locker lockers in the station yard around the station you wish to reserve, and thirdly locker lockers in the station yard along the station you wish to reserve. We tried to spread the search target one by one until we could find the appropriate lockers. Then Z
There were two vacant lockers at the south exit of the station. In addition, there were five vacant lockers in front of the police box at the same Z station. Reservation party A saw the output locker information and selected the reservation for the north exit locker at Z station. And control center A
Receives as the locker extracted from the north exit locker of Z station selected by the subscriber Hei. Further, although not shown, locker information providing means may be provided for providing information such as the usage status of rental lockers before the reservation request is made by the reservation person.
