In the example of FIG. 6, the name information list screen includes an input field for a slip number. When the list screen of such name information is displayed, the delivery person can specify the name of the apartment house 60 that he / she wants to enter from now on (in other words, the selection operation to select) and the addressee to this apartment house 60. Perform the operation of inputting the slip number of the slip given to the delivery. The UI unit 51 (operation reception unit) receives a designated operation and an input operation (S22). The name information list screen and the slip number input screen may be different screens.

The control unit 53 has designated information indicating the designated name information (in other words, information for designating one of the name information output by the output unit 27) and the input slip number (in other words, the mobile terminal 50). The unlocking request information including the input number) is transmitted to the communication unit 52 to the first server 20 (S23). The unlock request information requests the first server 20 to collate the password (the target password described later) determined by the designated name information with the input number, and to unlock the electric lock 63 based on the result of the collation. Information for.

The communication unit 21 of the first server 20 receives the unlock request information. The third acquisition unit 26 acquires the designated information and the input number included in the received unlock request information (S24). The output unit 27 identifies the password (slip number) associated with the name information designated by the acquired designated information by referring to the second management information (FIG. 5) stored in the storage unit 23. Then, it is determined whether or not the target password, which is the specified password, and the acquired input number match (S25). That is, the output unit 27 collates the target password with the input number.

When the output unit 27 determines that the target password and the input number match, the output unit 27 causes the communication unit 21 to transmit the unlock request of the electric lock 63 to the electric lock control server 40 (S26). Upon receiving the unlock request, the electric lock control server 40 transmits an unlock command to the lobby intercom 62 to cause the lobby intercom 62 to unlock the electric lock 63 (S27). When the target password and the input number match, the combination of the input number input in step S22 and the name information specified in step S22 is the slip number included in the delivery schedule information in step S13. It means that it matches the combination with the name information.

On the other hand, when the output unit 27 determines that the target password and the input number do not match, the output unit 27 transmits the notification information for notifying that the electric lock 63 cannot be unlocked to the communication unit 21 to the mobile terminal 50. (S28).

The communication unit 52 of the mobile terminal 50 receives the notification information. The control unit 53 causes the UI unit 51 (display unit) to display a notification screen indicating that the electric lock 63 cannot be unlocked based on the received notification information (S29). FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of a notification screen. The notification screen of FIG. 7 includes a message prompting that the unlocking of the electric lock 63 has failed, the designation of the name information, and the reconfirmation that the input of the slip number is correct.

As described above, according to the unlocking system 10, the delivery person, in the state of arriving near the apartment house 60 of the delivery destination, gives the slip number given to the delivery addressed to the apartment house 60 to the mobile terminal 50. The electric lock 63 can be unlocked by inputting to. According to the unlock system 10, the delivery person can unlock the electric lock 63 even when the recipient of the delivery is absent. Further, since the unlocking requirement is that the delivery person arrives in the vicinity of the apartment house 60 of the delivery destination, it is possible to prevent the electric lock 63 from being illegally unlocked from a distance.

Further, in the unlock system 10, as shown in FIG. 6 and the like, a list screen of apartment houses 60 around the position of the mobile terminal 50 is displayed, and the delivery person designates one apartment house 60. There is. As a result, even if the accuracy of the position measurement of the position measurement unit 55 of the mobile terminal 50 is poor, the apartment house 60 that the delivery person wants to enter is accurately specified. That is, when the accuracy of the position measurement of the position measurement unit 55 of the mobile terminal 50 is poor, it is possible to prevent the electric lock 63 from failing to be unlocked.

[Operation example 2]
In the above operation example 1, the slip number of the slip given to the delivery is used as the password, but the password may be generated by the first server 20. FIG. 8 is a sequence diagram of operation example 2 of the unlock system 10.

The processing of steps S11 to S12 is the same as that of the operation example 1. Following step S12, the second server 30 transmits a password generation request including the name information of the apartment house 60 scheduled to be delivered to the first server 20 (S31).

The communication unit 21 of the first server 20 receives the password generation request, and the first acquisition unit 24 acquires the name information included in the received password generation request (S32). The generation unit 28 generates a password (S33), and the first acquisition unit 24 associates the generated password with the name information acquired in step S32, and stores the storage unit 23 as the second management information. (S34).

Further, the second acquisition unit 25 causes the communication unit 21 to transmit the password notification information for notifying the password generated in step S31 to the second server 30 (S35). The second server 30 receives the password notification information.

As mentioned above, the second server 30 is used by the delivery company. Therefore, the delivery company can teach the delivery person the password generated in step S33 based on the password notification information. The operation after step S33 is the same as steps S16 to S29 (that is, FIG. 3) of the operation example 1 except that the password generated in step S33 is used instead of the slip number. .. By inputting the password generated in step S33 into the mobile terminal 50, the delivery person can unlock the electric lock 63 even if the recipient of the delivery (resident of the apartment house 60) is absent. can.

Since the operation example 2 does not require a slip number, it can be applied to a visit-type service other than the delivery service. The home-visit service other than the delivery service is, for example, a housekeeping service and a home-visit care service.

For example, when the second server 30 used by the service provider of the visit-type service sends a password generation request including the name information of the apartment house 60 scheduled to be visited to the first server 20, the password is sent as a response. The number notification information can be received from the first server 20. The service provider can teach the visitor dispatched from the service provider to the apartment house 60 the password generated in step S33 based on the password notification information.

A visitor dispatched from the service provider to the apartment house 60 unlocks the electric lock 63 by inputting the instructed password into the mobile terminal 50 without the support of the resident of the apartment house 60. can do.

The password generated in the operation example 2 may have a time limit. For example, the security code may have an expiration date, such that the security code is valid only for a predetermined period after the notification information is transmitted. As a result, unauthorized use of the password is suppressed.

[Operation example 3]
In the above operation example 1, a list screen of the name information of the apartment house 60 around the position of the mobile terminal 50 is displayed, and the delivery person specifies the name information. However, it is not essential that such processing be performed. Hereinafter, an operation example (operation example 3) in which the designation of the name information is omitted will be described. FIG. 9 is a sequence diagram of an operation example 3 of the unlock system 10. In the following description of the operation example 3, the operation after the second management information is stored in the storage unit 23 will be described. As the operation until the second management information is stored in the storage unit 23, the operation example 1 (FIG. 2) is described as being adopted, but the operation example 2 (FIG. 8) may be adopted.

Upon arriving in the vicinity of the apartment house 60, the delivery person of the delivery company performs a predetermined operation on the mobile terminal 50 running the dedicated application program. The UI unit 51 (operation reception unit) of the mobile terminal 50 receives the above-mentioned predetermined operation from the delivery person (S41). The predetermined operation in this case includes an input operation of an input number (password).

The control unit 53 includes the position information of the mobile terminal 50 (information indicating the current position of the mobile terminal 50) measured by the position measurement unit 55 and the input number when the predetermined operation is received. The unlocking request information is transmitted to the communication unit 52 to the first server 20 (S42).

The communication unit 21 of the first server 20 receives the unlock request information. The second acquisition unit 25 acquires the position information included in the unlock request information, and the third acquisition unit 26 acquires the input number included in the received unlock request information (S43).

In the first management information, the output unit 27 specifies one name information associated with the location information that satisfies the predetermined requirement regarding the location indicated by the acquired location information (S44). In this case, the predetermined requirement is, for example, that the location of the apartment house 60 indicated by the location information is within a predetermined range (for example, within a radius of 50 m with respect to the position indicated by the location information) based on the position indicated by the location information. It meets the first requirement of being included and also the second requirement. The second requirement is that, among the location information satisfying the first requirement, the location indicated by the location information is the closest to the location of the mobile terminal 50. That is, in step S44, the name information of the apartment house 60 closest to the position of the mobile terminal 50 is specified.

Next, the output unit 27 identifies the password associated with the specified name information as the target password in the second management information, and the target password, which is the specified password, and the acquired input number. Is determined whether or not they match (S45). That is, the output unit 27 collates the target password with the input number.

When the output unit 27 determines that the target password and the input number match, the output unit 27 causes the communication unit 21 to transmit the unlock request of the electric lock 63 to the electric lock control server 40 (S46). Upon receiving the unlock request, the electric lock control server 40 transmits an unlock command to the lobby intercom 62 to cause the lobby intercom 62 to unlock the electric lock 63 (S47).

When the target password and the input number match, the combination of the input number input in step S41 and the name information specified in step S44 is the slip number included in the delivery schedule information in step S13. It means that it matches the combination with the name information.

On the other hand, when the output unit 27 determines that the target password and the input number do not match, the output unit 27 transmits the notification information for notifying that the electric lock 63 cannot be unlocked to the communication unit 21 to the mobile terminal 50. (S48).

The communication unit 52 of the mobile terminal 50 receives the notification information. The control unit 53 causes the UI unit 51 (display unit) to display a notification screen indicating that the electric lock 63 cannot be unlocked based on the received notification information (S49).

As described above, according to the unlocking system 10, the delivery person, in the state of arriving near the apartment house 60 of the delivery destination, gives the slip number given to the delivery addressed to the apartment house 60 to the mobile terminal 50. The electric lock 63 can be unlocked by inputting to. According to the unlock system 10, the delivery person can unlock the electric lock 63 even when the recipient of the delivery is absent. Further, since the unlocking requirement is that the delivery person arrives in the vicinity of the apartment house 60 of the delivery destination, it is possible to prevent the electric lock 63 from being illegally unlocked from a distance.

[Modification example]
In the operation examples 1 to 3, a part of the function of the first server 20 may be realized by another server (not shown). For example, in the operation examples 1 and 2, the verification of the password and the input number may be performed by another server. Further, in the operation example 2, the generation of the personal identification number may be realized by another server.

Further, in the above operation examples 1 to 3, the unlocking of the electric lock 63 is performed via the electric lock control server 40, but may be performed without going through the electric lock control server 40. For example, the electric lock 63 may be unlocked by receiving the unlock request transmitted (output) by the first server 20 by the lobby intercom 62 without going through the electric lock control server 40. That is, the unlocking function of the electric lock 63 possessed by the electric lock control server 40 may be provided by the first server 20.
