Description

  The present invention relates to a system for collecting recyclable resource waste, particularly resource waste containing hardware.

  Among resource wastes, especially resource wastes containing hardware are highly reusable, and these resource wastes are collected at stores and recycling centers. At the time of collecting such resource garbage, an attempt has been made to promote the collection of resource garbage by giving benefits such as points (see Patent Document 1, for example).

JP 2013-127688 A

  Here, in the system that grants points corresponding to the collected garbage when collecting resource waste, if it is a system that gives points through the intervention of people like stores and centers, labor costs are high, and that amount is given. The user's convenience may be reduced because the return rate of the points to be reduced is reduced or the operation of the collection system itself is difficult to be realized. However, if it is a system that collects resource waste unattended, there are concerns that the collection system itself may be misused, such as illegally collecting points.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a resource garbage collection system capable of suppressing fraud while improving user convenience.

  Means suitable for solving the above-described problems will be described with reference to operational effects and the like.

  The resource garbage collection system of means 1 includes a collection unit (collection unit 30) that collects at least a resource garbage including hardware, and a point grant unit (control device) that gives points according to the resource garbage collected in the collection unit 51, a resource garbage collection system comprising a issuing means for issuing a membership card (a function for executing a membership card issuing process by the control device 50), and the membership card. Setting means (function for executing password setting processing by the control device 50) in association with the password, and the point granting means presents the member card and the password is input to the touch panel (touch panel) 44, 94), it is possible to give points according to the above-mentioned resource waste. An installation unit (license reading unit 46) that installs a certificate, and an information acquisition unit (by the control device 50) that acquires personal information from a license installed in the installation unit when the issuing unit issues the membership card A function for executing a license reading process), and an output unit for outputting the personal information acquired by the information acquisition unit to the management server (management server 100) (a function for executing the process of step S209 by the control device 50). And classifying means (member information management by the management server 100) for classifying the personal information into first information including face photo data of the license and second information including at least name and address data of the license The management server includes a normal administrator who can view only the first information, the first information of the personal information, and the second information. Characterized in that in and the viewable privilege administrator boric has become possible authority classification of each administrator.

  According to the above configuration, in the resource garbage collection system that grants points according to the resource garbage collected by the collection unit, the member card is issued to the user, and the password is entered along with the membership card presentation. If it is set as the structure which provides ID, it can suppress that a member card is used illegally by others. In addition, when issuing a membership card, personal information is output to the management server from the license installed in the installation department. Even if a fraudulent act is performed, the person who has performed the act can be specified on the management server side. However, with regard to the personal information from the license, a collection system that makes it necessary to prepare special personnel for information management on the management server side if all the information can be viewed on the management server side at all times. There is concern that the overall cost will increase. Therefore, the personal information from the license is divided into first information including face photo data of the license and second information including name and address data, and each of the divided information is managed by the management server. If it is configured so that administrators who can browse on the side are divided, it is possible to suppress the increase in costs related to information management, and to improve the convenience of the user, such as reducing the point grant rate accordingly. be able to. As a result, it is possible to provide a resource garbage collection system that can suppress fraud while improving user convenience.

  In the resource garbage collection system of means 2, in means 1, the management server performs server side output means for outputting the member card issuance permission information to the issuing means (the process of step S405 by the management server 100 is executed). And the issuing means issues the membership card based on receiving the issuance permission information.

  According to the above configuration, the member card is not issued unless the member card issuance permission information is acquired from the management server side. In this way, it is possible to avoid issuing a membership card without going through the management server. Therefore, the membership card and the personal information of the license can be managed more reliably on the management server side.

  The resource garbage collection system of means 3 is configured such that, in the means 1 or 2, the point giving means gives the points according to the weight or frequency of the resource garbage collected in the collection unit, and the management server Is provided with first grasping means (function to execute the process of step S504 by the management server 100) for grasping the information on the weight per unit period.

  According to the above configuration, in the configuration in which points are given according to the weight and frequency, if the management server can grasp the weight information collected per unit period, the usage range assumed by this collection system If it is a weight that deviates from (for example, a weight that deviates from the range brought in as household waste), it can be grasped. If the weight information is used as a basis for determining whether or not fraudulent activity has been performed, it is possible to identify an unexpected use that would lead to fraudulent activity on the management server. It becomes easy to specify. In addition, since the configuration is such that the management server first grasps the points instead of stopping the points, it is possible to avoid inconveniences such as the stop of the points being granted to the person who brought the garbage properly due to a system error or the like.

  The resource garbage collection system of means 4 is configured such that, in any one of means 1 to 3, the point giving means gives the points according to the weight or frequency of the resource garbage collected in the collection unit, The management server includes second grasping means (function for executing the processing of step S507 by the management server 100) for grasping the frequency information per unit period.

  According to the above configuration, in the configuration in which points are given according to weight and frequency, if the management server can grasp the frequency information collected per unit period, the usage range assumed by this collection system If the frequency deviates from (for example, the frequency deviates from the range brought in as household waste), it can be grasped. If the frequency information is used as a basis for determining whether or not fraudulent activity has been performed, it is possible to identify an unexpected use that would lead to fraud in the management server. It becomes easy to specify. In addition, since the configuration is such that the management server first grasps the points instead of stopping the points, it is possible to avoid inconveniences such as the stop of the points being granted to the person who brought the garbage properly due to a system error or the like.

  The resource garbage collection system of means 5 is the photographing system (camera 61) for photographing a person who has installed a license in the installation section in any one of means 1 to 4, and photographing data photographed by the photographing section. Is output to the management server (function of executing the process of step S119 by the control device 51 or the process of step S210 by the control device 50).

  According to the above configuration, the personal information of the license and the shooting data shot by the shooting unit are output to the management server, so that the person who installed the license is the owner of the license, etc. Confirmation can be performed on the management server side.

  In the resource garbage collection system of means 6, the means 5 collates the personal information from the license with the photographing data photographed by the photographing section (processing of step S404 by the management server 100). And the issuing means is configured to issue the membership card based on the verification result of the verification means.

  According to the above configuration, if the management server verifies and issues a member card, it is possible to suppress inconveniences such as accidentally registering a member with a person different from the license owner.

  The resource waste collection system of means 7 is characterized in that, in the means 5 or 6, the photographing unit is arranged at a position where the face of the user who inputs the password at the input unit can be photographed from the front. And

  According to the above configuration, since the user's face can be photographed from the front, for example, when the photographing data is the profile data of the user or the face is not reflected in the first place, The inconvenience that the confirmation cannot be performed can be avoided.

  The resource waste collection system of means 8 has an entry restriction section (entrance gate 21) for restricting entry into the collection place (collection area 12) having the collection section in means 1 to 7, and the membership card is By being presented, the restriction by the entry restriction part is released, and at least the installation part and the issuing means are arranged outside the entry restriction part.

  According to the above configuration, it is possible to avoid the intrusion into the collection unit without presenting the registered member card. In particular, since the installation section of the license and the means for issuing the membership card are located outside the collection area, membership registration is indispensable in order to bring resources to the collection area. Thereby, it is prevented that this collection system is used without performing member registration, and the act of illegally dumping garbage into the collection unit can be suppressed.

  The resource garbage collection system of means 9 includes a collection unit (collection unit 30) that collects at least a resource garbage including hardware, and a point grant unit that gives points according to the weight of the resource garbage collected in the collection unit ( A function for executing point management processing by the control device 51), an issuing means for issuing a membership card (function for executing membership card issuing processing by the control device 50), Setting means for setting a password in association with the membership card (function for executing password setting processing by the control device 50), wherein the point granting means presents the membership card and the password is input By inputting on (touch panels 44, 94), it is possible to give points according to the weight of the resource waste. And an information acquisition means (license reading section 46) for installing a license, and an information acquisition means for acquiring personal information from a license installed in the installation section when the issuing means issues the membership card ( A function of executing a license reading process by the control device 50), a photographing unit (camera 61) for photographing the face of a user who has installed a license in the installation unit, and personal information acquired by the information acquisition unit User-side output means (function to execute the process of step S209 by the control device 50) for outputting the photographing data photographed by the photographing unit to the management server (management server 100) as issuance request information of the membership card; The management server includes the personal information included in the issuance request information from the user-side output means, the first information including the face photo data of the license, and a small amount At least, the first information is provided with sorting means (function to execute member information management processing by the management server 100) for sorting and storing the area to be stored in the second information including the name and address data of the license. The normal administrator who can browse only the data in the area where the information is stored, the data in the area where the first information is stored in the personal information, and the data in the area where the second information is stored can be viewed The administrator can divide the authority of each administrator with a privileged administrator, and the data stored in the area that can be browsed by the normal administrator and the shooting data shot by the shooting unit are displayed on the display unit. Server-side output means (step by the management server 100) that executes processing to display or executes processing to compare each of these data, and then outputs issuance permission information of the membership card to the issuing means S405), and the issuing means can issue the membership card based on receiving the issuance permission information, and the point granting means Means (a function of executing the process of step S119 by the control device 51) that outputs the information of the points given when giving points to the management server as point grant information, the management server receives the point grant Means for storing information in a region that can be browsed only by the privileged administrator in association with the first information and the second information (function to execute point grant information management processing by the management server 100) It is characterized by.

  According to the above configuration, in the resource garbage collection system that grants points according to the resource garbage collected by the collection unit, the member card is issued to the user, and the password is entered along with the membership card presentation. If it is set as the structure which provides ID, it can suppress that a member card is used illegally by others. In addition, when issuing a membership card, personal information is output to the management server from the license installed in the installation department. Even if a fraudulent act is performed, the person who has performed the act can be specified on the management server side. However, with regard to the personal information from the license, a collection system that makes it necessary to prepare special personnel for information management on the management server side if all the information can be viewed on the management server side at all times. There is concern that the overall cost will increase. Therefore, the personal information from the license is divided into first information including the face photo data of the license and second information including the name and address data, and an area for storing each of the divided information If the management server side is configured to divide the authority who can view each area on the management server side, it is possible to suppress an increase in cost related to information management. In particular, in the above configuration, if the member card issuance permission information is not acquired from the management server side, the member card can not be issued, and the member card can be issued without going through the management server. It can be avoided. The issuance permission information is output after displaying data stored in an area that can be normally viewed by an administrator, that is, face photograph data and photographing data of the user's face photographed by the photographing unit. Therefore, it is not necessary for the privileged administrator to perform operations such as identity verification when issuing a membership card, and while suppressing the increase in costs, the management server side more reliably secures the membership card and personal information on the license. Can be managed. Further, when resource waste is collected and points are given, the point grant information is output to the management server, and the point grant information is managed on the management server side. And since this point grant information is associated with the first information and the second information in the personal information and is stored in an area that can be browsed only by the privileged administrator, for example, when exchanging points for goods, etc. In addition, the privileged administrator can check whether any fraudulent activity has been performed at the time of point grant. Therefore, even if a point is illegally granted, when the point is exchanged, it becomes possible to specify the fraudulent act and the name and address of the person who performed the act from the second information. As a result, it is possible to provide a resource garbage collection system that can suppress fraud while improving user convenience.

A data management unit 110 is included. The information stored and managed in the data management unit 110 is classified into information that can be viewed and used according to the classification of the manager. Specifically, a use area 120 where a normal administrator who does not have a privilege can browse and use corresponding data, and a use area 130 where a privileged administrator who has a privilege can view and use data can be used. It is divided. Whether or not the user has a privilege is classified into, for example, a person who issues a membership card issuer (operator, etc.) and a person who performs point management work (recovery system administrator, etc.).

<Processing flow in the collection system 10>
Next, the process in this collection | recovery system 10 is demonstrated, referring FIGS. The processing in the collection system 10 can be broadly classified as follows: (1) Membership card issuance processing, membership information management processing and membership card issuance permission processing as a configuration for membership card issuance, and (2) User brings in resource waste There are point management processing performed at the time, and (3) point grant information management processing and privileged manager management processing as a configuration for exchanging points. Here, the point management process (2) will be described first, and then each process (1) and each process (3) will be described.

<Point management processing>
The point management process is a process performed by the control device 51 of the weighing manager 90 in the collection area 11. As shown in FIG. 5, first, in step S101, it is determined whether or not a touch operation on the touch panel 94 has been performed. Incidentally, the demo screen is displayed before the affirmative determination is made in this processing (power saving may be achieved by not displaying it). The process waits in step S101 until an affirmative determination is made in step S101.

  If the touch panel 94 is touched, the demonstration screen is canceled in step S102. In step S103, display control of the display screen 95 is performed so as to issue an operation instruction (for example, a character display such as “Please install a membership card”). In step S <b> 104, it is determined whether or not the membership card is installed in the installation unit 93. Note that the information read by the reading unit 93a may be used as to whether or not it is installed. If not installed, the system waits in step S104. If installed, it is determined in step S105 whether the installation position is normal and the information on the membership card can be read normally. If the installation position is abnormal, or if the membership card information cannot be read due to, for example, the membership card or the dirt or damage of the installation part, an error message is displayed in step S106 (for example, “Please reset the membership card” After performing a character display such as “Please wipe the reading screen cleanly”, the process returns to step S104.

  If it is determined in step S105 that the membership card information can be read normally, the process proceeds to step S107. In step S107, a member information reading process is performed. The member information reading process includes information on the number of points stored in the membership card and password information set at the time of registration.

  In the subsequent step S108, the display screen 95 is controlled to be instructed to input a password. In step S109, it is determined whether a password has been input based on the input instruction in step S108. If not, the process returns to step S108. If a password has been input, it is determined in step S110 whether the password is normal (whether it matches the password information read in step S107). If it is not normal (does not match), an error display (for example, a character display such as “Password is incorrect, please enter again”) is performed in step S111. In step S108, a password input instruction is again issued. If it is determined in step S110 that the password is normal, the process proceeds to step S112.

  In step S112, processing for acquiring image data from the camera 98 is executed. That is, the image data is taken in from the camera 98 when the password is input. Therefore, the face of the user who is viewing the touch panel 94 for password input can be captured as image data from almost the front. Note that the user may specify the image capture timing. In this case, an instruction button for instructing image capture is displayed on the touch panel 94, and the image capture is performed by touching the instruction button. Even in this case, it is possible to acquire image data at the timing when the user faces the camera 98. Therefore, the face image from the front of the user can be captured more reliably. This configuration is the same for the configuration relating to image capture from the camera 61 on the entrance management machine 40 side.

  In the subsequent step S113, based on the weight information from the weighing unit 31, a process of grasping the total weight before installing the garbage is performed. In step S114, display control of the display screen 95 is performed so as to issue an installation instruction (for example, a character display such as “Please throw in garbage slowly”). In a succeeding step S115, it is determined whether or not the weight information from the weighing unit 31 has changed. If it has changed, the display screen 95 is controlled to perform an installation completion operation instruction (for example, displaying an installation completion button and prompting the user to touch the button) in step S116. If the user operates the display screen 95 (touch panel 94) and determines that the installation is complete, the process proceeds to step S117. If there is no weight change in step S115, or if no installation completion operation is performed in step S116, the process waits in step S115.

  In step S117, based on the weight information from the weighing unit 31, a process of grasping the total weight after installing the garbage is performed. In step S118, the installed garbage weight is grasped based on the difference between the weight before the installation and the weight after the installation of the garbage, and a process of converting it into a point is performed.

  In the present embodiment, the conversion rate of points is, for example, a conversion rate of 10 points per 1 kg of garbage (for example, equivalent to 10 yen). Although this conversion rate is arbitrary, it is preferably a conversion rate that is different (lower than the purchase price) from the purchase price of a hardware scrap factory or the like. The main purpose of the collection system 10 is to recycle garbage from ordinary households, and can be greatly different from the kind of garbage brought by a trader like a scrap factory. For this reason, if the conversion rate is equal to (or higher than) the purchase price at the scrap factory, there is a high possibility that household waste and waste brought by the trader are mixed. Therefore, by setting the conversion rate as described above, it is possible to limit the collected garbage mainly to household waste and facilitate the subsequent separation work.

  After the point conversion is performed in step S118, external output processing is performed in step S119. This process is a process of outputting point grant information from the communication unit 53 of the weighing management device 90 to the management server 100. The point grant information includes information such as member information, point information on the number of points, date and time when points are given, weight, image data from the camera 98, and the like.

  In the subsequent step S120, a point writing process is performed. In this process, the writing unit 93b in the setting unit 93 performs a process of overwriting new point information (point information obtained by adding the points given this time to the points before writing) on the membership card.

  In step S121, display control of the display screen 95 is performed so as to give an end instruction (for example, a character display such as “writing has been completed, please take out your membership card”). In step S122, it is determined whether or not a membership card is still installed. If it is installed, a forgetting display (for example, a character display such as “Forgot membership card”) is performed in step S123. Display control of the display screen 95 is performed. After performing the process of step S123, the process returns to step S122.

  When it is determined in step S122 that the membership card is not installed (when it is determined that the membership card has been removed), the process proceeds to step S124, and door opening processing is executed. In this process, the outgoing control unit 22a is driven and controlled, and the outgoing gate 22 is opened. As a result, the user can leave the collection area 12. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S125, a demonstration screen is displayed, and the point management process is terminated.

  As described above, in the present collection system 10, when a user installs resource garbage in the collection unit 30, points corresponding to the weight of the resource garbage are automatically given. Therefore, the user can use this collection system 10 without hesitation. On the other hand, if the collection system is unmanned in this way, fraudulent acts such as collecting points only by exploiting the weight addition system or collecting resource waste that has been installed (points granted) are performed. It is possible that Therefore, in the present collection system 10, when a point is given, presentation of a membership card and input of a password are required, and unauthorized use by a third party who has illegally obtained the membership card is suppressed. In addition to this, when a resource garbage is brought in (when a password is entered), the user's face image is acquired and output by the management server 100, so the management server side brings in the user and the membership card owner. It is also possible to confirm the above. Therefore, even if an illegal act is performed, the management server 100 can grasp it. Furthermore, in the present collection system 10, in order to suppress such an illegal act, the configuration relating to the issuance of the membership card and the configuration relating to the exchange of points are also devised.

<Composition regarding membership card issuance>
The membership card issuance process, the membership information management process, and the membership card issuance permission process will be described as a configuration related to the membership card issuance.

<Membership card issuance process>
First, the membership card issuing process will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. The membership card issuance process is a process performed by the control device 50 of the entrance management machine 40 in the collection site 11.

  First, in step S201, it is determined whether or not a touch operation on the touch panel 44 has been performed. If a touch operation has been performed, the demo screen is canceled in step S202. Note that the processes in steps S201 and S202 are the same as the processes in steps S101 and S102.

  In step S203, display control of the display screen 45 is performed so as to issue a license installation instruction (for example, a character display such as “Please insert your license”). In step S204, it is determined whether a license has been installed (inserted). If it has been installed, it is determined in step S205 whether the license can be read normally. If it is not readable, an error is displayed in step S206. If a negative determination is made in step S204 or after the processing of step S206 is executed, the process returns to step S204.

  If it is determined in step S206 that normal reading is possible, the process proceeds to step S207. In step S207, a license reading process is executed. In this process, an image of the entire license (both sides) is captured, and each piece of information about the first information including the face image data and the second information including at least the name and address is read.

  In a succeeding step S208, a password setting process is executed. In this process, for example, “Please set password” is displayed on the display screen 45, a keyboard is displayed on the touch panel 44 of the display screen 45, and a password is set by a touch operation of the keyboard.

  In a succeeding step S209, processing for acquiring image data from the camera 61 is executed. That is, the image data is taken in from the camera 61 when the password is set. Therefore, the face of the user who is viewing the touch panel 44 for password entry can be captured as image data almost from the front.

  In step S210, the license information read in step S207, the password information set in step S208, and the image data captured in step S209 are output to the management server 100 as issuance request information. To do. On the management server 100 side, when issuing the membership card issuance permission based on the received issuance request information, the issuance permission information is output to the entrance management machine 40 side. The issuance permission information includes a member ID that can identify the member information. Further, when the issue permission is not performed, the non-permission information is output to the entrance management machine 40 side. This process will be described in detail later.

  In step S211, it is determined whether or not issue permission information has been received from the management server 100. If issue permission information has not been received, it is determined in step S212 whether non-permission information has been received. If neither issue permission information nor non-permission information has been received, the process returns to step S211 and waits until any information is received. If non-permitted information has been received in step S212, an error display is displayed in step S213 (for example, a character display indicating “Cannot register as a member, please perform the operation again from the beginning”). After the display of the screen 45 is controlled, the process returns to step S203.

  If issue permission information is received in step S211, the process proceeds to step S214. In step S214, membership card issuance processing is executed. In the membership card issuance process, the member ID included in the issuance permission information received in step S211 is written to the IC chip in the new membership card. As already described, the entrance management machine 40 is provided with a storage container 71 for storing an unregistered membership card. During the writing process, an unregistered membership card is transferred from the storage container 71 to a member information writing unit. After moving to 72, the writing process is performed. Then, after performing the writing process, the written membership card is discharged from the membership card issuing unit 70.

  In subsequent step S215, display control of display screen 45 is performed so as to perform end display (for example, character display such as “writing has been completed, please take your driver's license and membership card”). In step S216, it is determined whether or not a license or membership card is still installed. If it is installed, a letter such as "Forgot license or membership card" is displayed in step S217. The display screen 45 is controlled to display. After performing step S217, the process returns to step S216.

  When it is determined in step S216 that neither the license nor the membership card is installed (when it is determined that it has been removed), the process proceeds to step S218, and the door opening process is executed. In this process, the entrance control unit 21a is driven and controlled, and the entrance gate 21 is opened. As a result, the user can enter the collection area 12. After performing the process of step S218, a demonstration screen display is performed in step S219, and then this issuance process is terminated.

  This issuance process is performed only at the first member registration. Although detailed explanation is omitted, the entrance control unit 21a drives and controls the entrance control unit 21a by causing the membership card reading unit 73 of the entrance management machine 40 to read the membership card at the next and subsequent entrances. It becomes possible to enter. In addition, after the entrance control unit 21a is driven and controlled to open, the entrance control unit 21a is driven and controlled so that the entrance gate 21 is closed after a predetermined period (for example, after 5 minutes).

<Member information management processing>
Next, the member information management process will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. The member information management process is a process performed by the management server 100.

  In step S301, it is determined whether license information has been received. As already described, the license information is information output in step S210 in the membership card issuing process on the entrance management machine 40 side. If the license information has not been received, the process stands by in step S301. In other words, the member information management process can be said to be started by receiving the license information from the entrance management machine 40 side.

  If license information has been received, a process of extracting face image data from the received license information is executed in step S302. As already described, the license information includes first information including face image data and second information including at least a name and an address. More specifically, as shown in FIGS. 8A and 8B, the personal information in the license information includes the first information including the face image data and the information including the name and address as the second information. Are included as image data. Each of these pieces of information sets the first information or the second information by sorting and reading an area where each piece of information is written in the license information (image data).

  The process of step S302 may be configured to recognize face image data from the license information and read it as first information, and to recognize name and address data and read it as second information. The image at a predetermined position may be read by dividing it into first information and second information. In the former, since the face image data, name, and address are recognized at the time of reading, the accuracy of the read information increases. On the other hand, the configuration of the latter is simplified. In the license, the position where the face photo, name, and address are written is determined in advance, so in the latter case, for example, the area of 3.8 cm × 3.2 cm in the lower right of the license information May be classified as the first information and the others as the second information. Further, the second information may include a name, an address, a date of birth, a date of issuing a license, a license number, and the like.

  It can be said that the process of step S302 is a process of extracting the first information from the first information and the second information. In step S303, the first information (face image data) extracted in step S302 is stored in the normal manager use area 120 as normal management data. The normal management data is data that can be browsed and used in the management server 100 by both a normal administrator who has no privileges and a privileged administrator who has privileges.

  In the subsequent step S304, a process of extracting name / address information from the received license information is executed. That is, step S304 can be said to be processing for extracting second information from the first information and the second information. In step S305, the second information extracted in step S304 (information including at least the name and address) is stored in the privileged administrator use area 130 as privileged management data. The privilege management data is data that can be viewed and used by privileged privileged administrators in the management server 100, and is normally data that cannot be viewed and used by administrators. After executing the process of step S305, the management process ends.

  In other words, the management server 100 stores the face image data and the name / address information for each user who can use and browse based on receiving the license information.

<Membership card issuance permission processing>
Next, the membership card issuance permission process will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. The membership card issuance permission process is a process performed by the management server 100.

  First, in step S401, it is determined whether license information has been received. If not received, the process waits in step S401. That is, step S401 can be said to be the same processing as step S301. The member information management process and the membership card issuance permission process constitute a part of the process that is periodically started in the management server 100. In the periodic process, the member information management process is a membership card issuance process. It is set as upstream processing of permission processing. Therefore, when the membership card issuance permission process is activated, the member information management process is executed before that.

  If the license information is received in step S401, the process proceeds to step S402. In step S402, processing for extracting face image data from the normal manager use area 120 is performed. In step S403, it is determined whether image data is received from the camera 61 on the entrance management machine 40 side. If not received, the process waits in step S403. Based on the reception of the image data from the camera 61, an affirmative determination is made in step S403, and the process proceeds to step S404.

  Here, the management server 100 in the present embodiment is configured to display the face image data in the license extracted in step S402 and the image data received in step S403 in parallel on a display screen (not shown). The operator (usually the administrator) of the management server 100 compares the images displayed in parallel, and the owner of the license acquired by the entrance management machine 40 and the user operating the entrance management machine 40 , Are the same person. If it is determined that they are the same person, an issue permission operation (for example, an operation of a permission button or a touch operation of a permission image on the touch panel) is executed. On the other hand, if it is determined that they are not the same person, an issue non-permission operation (for example, operation of a non-permission button or touch operation of a non-permitted image on the touch panel) is executed.

  Note that the permission operation / non-permission operation may be automatically performed by image comparison software or the like. In this way, it is not necessary to have an operator resident in the management server 100, and the management cost of the entire collection system 10 can be reduced.

  Here, the membership card issuance process is performed by a normal administrator (operator), not a privileged administrator. Therefore, the data extracted and displayed in step S402 is the first information (face image data) in FIG. In other words, in the membership card issuance process, the second information (data including name and address) in FIG. 8B is not displayed. Therefore, the user's second information is not known to the normal administrator in the issuance of the membership card performed by the normal administrator.

  In step S404, it is determined whether or not an issue permission operation has been performed by a business operator of the management server 100. If an issue permission operation has been performed, a process for outputting the issue permission information to the entrance management machine 40 side is executed in step S405, and then this permission process is terminated. As already described, the entrance management machine 40 can make an affirmative determination in step S210 based on the receipt of the issuance permission information and proceed to the issuance process (step S214).

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S404 that an issue permission operation has not been performed, it is determined in step S406 whether an issue non-permission operation has been performed. If no operation is performed, the process waits in step S404. When the issue non-permission operation is performed, in step S407, a process for outputting the non-permission information to the entrance management machine 40 side is executed, and then this permission process is terminated. As already described, the entrance management machine 40 makes an affirmative determination in step S212 based on the reception of the non-permission information, displays an error, and prompts another operation.

<Configuration for point exchange>
Next, point granting information management processing and privileged manager management processing will be described as processing regarding point exchange performed in the management server 100.

<Point grant information management process>
First, the point grant information management process will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  In step S501, it is determined whether point grant information has been received. As already described, the point grant information is information output in step S119 of the point management process (FIG. 5) performed by the weighing manager 90 in the collection site 11. If point grant information has not been received, the process stands by in step S501.

  If the point grant information has been received, a process of storing the point grant information in the privileged manager use area 130 in the data management unit 110 is executed in step S502. As already described, the point grant information includes information such as member information, point information, date and time when the point was given, weight, image data from the camera 98, etc., and in step S502, these pieces of information are stored. To do.

  In subsequent step S503, the user corresponding to the member information stored this time executes processing for grasping the accumulated weight of garbage brought in within a predetermined period (for example, one month). In step S504, it is determined whether or not the weight grasped in step S504 is a predetermined weight (for example, 1 ton) or more. If it is equal to or greater than the predetermined weight, the process proceeds to step S505, and the first caution information indicating that the accumulated weight of the garbage brought in within the predetermined period is equal to or greater than the predetermined weight is stored in the privileged manager use area 130. . The first attention information is stored in a state of being associated with the member information on a one-to-one basis.

  If it is less than the predetermined weight in step S504, or after executing the process of step S505, the process proceeds to step S506. In step S506, a process of grasping the number of points given within a predetermined period (for example, one month) for the user corresponding to the member information stored this time is executed. In step S507, it is determined whether or not the number of times grasped in step S506 is a predetermined number or more (the frequency within the period is a predetermined frequency or more). If it is equal to or greater than the predetermined number of times, the process proceeds to step S508, and a process for storing in the privileged administrator use area 130 second attention information indicating that the frequency of giving points within the predetermined period is equal to or higher than the predetermined frequency is executed. The second caution information is stored in a state of being associated with the member information on a one-to-one basis. When a negative determination is made in step S507, or after the process of step S508 is executed, the point grant information management process is terminated.

<Privileged administrator management processing>
Next, the privilege manager management process will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. Points in this collection system 10 can be exchanged for benefits (such as merchandise vouchers according to the point conversion rate) according to the points by submitting a point exchange request form to the management office having the management server 100. Is possible. The point exchange request form may be submitted by mail or directly to the management office, but at least the member ID and name / address must be entered as the user's membership information. is there.

  And the privilege manager management process of FIG. 11 is a process which a privilege manager starts in order to convert a point into a privilege, when the said point exchange request paper is submitted from the user.

  First, in step S601, it is determined whether or not the privileged administrator has been authenticated. This authentication is performed using, for example, a password given to the privileged administrator. If the privileged administrator is not authenticated, the process waits in step S601. If authentication has been performed, the process proceeds to step S602. In step S602, a member ID (member information) input process entered on the point exchange request form is executed. This process may be configured to be manually input by a privileged administrator, or may be configured to be read and automated by a scanner or the like.

  In the subsequent step S603, a process of reading point information from the privileged manager use area 130 is executed based on the member ID input in step S602. As described above, the point information is stored as point grant information in the privileged administrator use area 130, and further, the first notice information and the second notice information are stored in the privileged administrator use area 130 together with the member information. There may be. Therefore, in step S604, it is determined whether or not any attention information is stored. If the attention information is stored, processing for displaying the attention information on the display screen or the like of the management server 100 is executed. When a negative determination is made in step S604, or after the processing of step S605 is performed, point subtraction processing is executed in step S606. In the subtraction process in step S606, the current exchange point is subtracted from the point information when a privilege corresponding to the point information is given. After executing the process of step S606, the privileged administrator management process is terminated.

  Here, the privileged administrator management process is operated by the privileged administrator. Therefore, the information read in step S603 includes the first information (face image data) in FIG. 8A and the second information (name and address in FIG. 8B) among the personal information of the license. Including data) are displayed. Therefore, the privilege manager can surely confirm the user who performs the point exchange by comparing with the exchange request sheet in the point exchange operation. If the first caution information and the second caution information are displayed, the information can be grasped in a state linked to the second information such as the name and address.

  Further, the privilege manager can use the attention information displayed in step S605 as a material for determining whether or not the user exchanging points this time is using the collection system 10 properly. If it is determined to be fraudulent, a corresponding action (for example, deleting (subtracting) the points without exchanging the benefits at step S606, disabling the use of the membership card, or reporting to the police, etc. It is possible to carry out such actions.

<Other embodiments>
In addition to the embodiment described above, for example, the following embodiment can be adopted, and other application examples and modifications not exemplified below are naturally possible.

  (1) A camera may be installed in the collection area 12, and an image of the camera may be output to the management server 100. In this way, it is possible for the management server 100 to recognize that resource waste is brought into the collection area 12, and if the image is stored in the management server 100, if an illegal act is performed ( When the first caution information, the second caution information, or the like is displayed), it is possible to easily identify the actor or the action.

  (2) In the above-described embodiment, the first caution information and the second caution information are displayed when the points are exchanged. However, a configuration may be adopted in which any caution information is displayed when stored. In this way, it is possible to grasp fraud quickly.

  (3) As the second caution information, it is configured to store that the frequency of giving points is equal to or higher than a predetermined frequency. For example, the frequency includes the frequency of visits to the collection place 11 (incidence frequency) and the like. Also good. In this way, it is possible to grasp the act of acquiring only the visit point when the visit point is given according to the visit.

  (4) The collection system 10 is a collection system mainly for resource garbage including hardware, but the collection system may be applied to other resource garbage. In addition, a collection system for other resource waste (for example, a paper container or a plastic container) may be linked to this collection system. In this case, if the membership card is integrated, user convenience can be further improved.

  (5) At the time of collection of recyclable waste, among recyclable wastes including hardware, waste that needs to be charged for recycling according to the Home Appliance Recycling Law may be alerted (displayed on the display screen, etc.) not to be dumped. Good.

  (6) The weighing management machine 90 may be configured to determine that an illegal act has been performed (output to the management server 100) when the weight information from the weighing unit 31 decreases after the points are given. Moreover, it is good also as a structure which does not open the construction gate 22. In this way, it is possible to suppress the act of taking away garbage after giving points and enjoying the points many times.

  (7) In a configuration in which a plurality of unmanned collection sites 11 are connected to the management server 100 via a network, any collection site 11 may be a manned collection site. In this way, the user can select the collection site to be brought in, and if the user cannot determine whether the garbage can be brought in, or if it is necessary to help with removal from the vehicle, etc. You can select a place.

  (8) Although the management server 100 is configured to perform the process of distinguishing the first information and the second information of the license information, the management server 100 classifies the first information and the second information in the entrance management machine 40. It is good also as a structure which outputs to.
