<Communication processing between store terminal 100 and server device 200>
FIG. 9 is a sequence diagram illustrating the flow of communication processing between the store terminal 100 and the server device 200.

  The container identification information acquisition unit 110 of the store terminal 100 acquires the container identification information from the container delivered to the store (S302). The container identification information acquisition unit 110 of the store terminal 100 confirms whether or not the container identification information is additionally input (S304). For example, the container identification information acquisition unit 110 of the shop terminal 100 determines whether or not there is an additional input of container identification information depending on whether a predetermined waiting time has elapsed or whether there is an input indicating that the container identification information has been acquired from all containers. Can be determined. When there is an additional input of container identification information (S304: YES), the container identification information acquisition unit 110 further acquires container identification information of another container (S302). On the other hand, when there is no additional input of container identification information (S304: NO), the container identification information acquisition part 110 transmits the container identification information acquired so far to the server apparatus 200 (S306). Note that the transmission data to the server device 200 includes the terminal identification information (such as the address of the store terminal 100) of the store terminal 100 together with the container identification information. Transmission data to the server device 200 is received by the receiving unit 220 of the server device 200.

The transmission unit 230 of the server device 200 refers to the delivery information management unit 210 using the container identification information received by the reception unit 220, and reads delivery information corresponding to the container identification information (S308). Here, when the reception unit 220 receives a plurality of container identification information, the transmission unit 230 reads delivery information corresponding to each of the plurality of container identification information. And the transmission part 230 of the server apparatus 200 transmits the delivery information read by the process of S308 to the shop terminal 100 (S310). When a plurality of delivery information is read in the process of S308, the transmission unit 230 transmits the plurality of delivery information to the store terminal 100. In addition, the transmission part 230 of the server apparatus 200 specifies the transmission destination of several delivery information using the terminal identification information (address etc. of the shop terminal 100) which the receiving part 220 received similarly to the 1st operation example. can do. Thereby, the delivery information acquisition part 120 of the shop terminal 100 can receive a plurality of delivery information corresponding to the plurality of container identification information transmitted in the process of S304 from the server device 200.
<Comparison processing between delivery information and order information>
FIG. 10 is a flowchart illustrating the flow of comparison processing between delivery information and order information. The process in FIG. 10 is executed by the store terminal 100. The process of FIG. 10 is executed after the process of S310 of FIG. Hereinafter, a process when a plurality of delivery information items are acquired in the process of S310 of FIG. 9 will be described.

  The comparison result output unit 130 totals a plurality of delivery information acquired in the process of S310 (S312). In other words, the comparison result output unit 130 aggregates a plurality of delivery information as one delivery information. Then, the comparison result output unit 130 reads the order information stored in the memory 103, the storage device 104, or an external store server (not shown), and compares it with the delivery information tabulated in the process of S208 (S314).

  If there is no difference as a result of comparing the order information and the collected delivery information (S314: no difference), the comparison result output unit 130 indicates that the inspection work has been completed normally as information indicating the result of the inspection work. Information is generated (S316). On the other hand, if there is a difference as a result of comparing the ordering information and the aggregated delivery information (S314: There is a difference), the comparison result output unit 130 indicates that there is a delivery error as information indicating the result of the inspection work. Is generated (S318). Then, the comparison result output unit 130 outputs the information generated in S316 or S318 (S320). The processing of S314 to S320 is the same as the processing of S210 to S216 described in the first operation example.

  In this way, in the second operation example, when the ordered product is delivered using a plurality of containers, the result of collecting the delivery information acquired using the container identification information for each container and the order information are To be compared. Thereby, even if the ordered product is delivered using a plurality of containers, a correct inspection result can be obtained.
