The insertion section 24 is for operating the joint locker device by inserting a coin, and includes a coin insertion slot 32, a coin insertion cancellation section 33 and a cancellation slot 34 for refunding the canceled coin. Has been formed. Of course, although not shown, a coin discriminator is provided on the back side of the coin slot 32 of the slot 24. Further, the key storage unit 21, the operation unit 22, the printing unit 23, the coin insertion unit 24 and the like are all controlled by the computer controller 40 provided inside the control unit 20.

Next, a means for a delivery company who has delivered a package to carry out the specific operation and operation of the joint locker device according to the present invention so as to store the package in the locker section 10, in this way, A means for the resident to receive the delivered package, a method for the resident to reserve a locker for the delivered package in advance, and a package for which the courier will deliver the package To store your luggage, from the locker you booked yourself, to take out the luggage from the resident, when you make a reservation for the locker, to make a phone reservation, to the booked locker , A means for the delivery company to store the package, a means for the resident to take out the package stored in the locker, and a package for the resident to carry the package to the delivery company. The means for storing the luggage in the locker before, the means for the delivery company to take out the luggage thus stored by the resident, and the key of the room in which the resident lives are stored in the key storage unit 21. Means for inquiring whether or not the luggage has arrived by telephone, and means for making arrival notification to the resident's telephone number registered in advance when the luggage arrives. The means will be separately described. In addition, when using such a locker, for example, although there is a method of paying this operating cost from the common expenses paid by the resident monthly, in the following description, the residence will be charged for one use. A case where a person pays 200 yen each will be described.

First, a delivery company that has delivered a package will be described with reference to the flow chart shown in FIG. 4 regarding means for storing the package in the locker section 10.
First, the delivery company who has delivered the package uses the card that has been distributed in advance to the card reader 2 of the operation unit 22.
6 (step 100). The computer controller 40 identifies whether the inserted card is the correct courier card (step 101). If this card is not the card of the registered delivery company, the card is pushed out from the card reader 26 and the luggage cannot be stored (step 102). When the card inserted in the card reader 26 is a pre-registered delivery company card, the delivery company next pushes the "house number" of the instruction unit 28 and then operates the ten-key pad 27 to operate the residence to be delivered. The house number of the person is designated (step 103). Next, the delivery company pushes the "locker number" of the instruction section 28, and then designates the locker number that matches the size of the delivered package using the ten keys 27 (step 104). In the locker corresponding to the locker number designated in this way, the display part provided in a part of the locker blinks to display the location of the locker (step 105). After that, the delivery company will store the luggage in the locker, but after the locker is displayed,
When the door of the locker displayed within a predetermined time, for example, 30 seconds, cannot be opened (step 106), the card is returned from the card reader 26, and it is impossible to store the luggage thereafter (step 102). Such opening of the locker door within 30 seconds can be temporarily set to 1 minute or 5 minutes, but the locker can be opened immediately by storing it in the locker or by the operation performed by the delivery company. In consideration of prevention of mischief by opening the locker or storing luggage for too long after such a situation, about 30 seconds is appropriate. In this way, after the displayed locker door is opened within the predetermined time, luggage is stored inside the opened locker (step 10).
7). Then, the storage of the luggage is confirmed by a sensor provided inside the locker, for example, a weight sensor, a pressure sensor, an optical sensor using infrared rays, or the like (step 108). The trader will then close the locker door (step 109). When the luggage is completely stored inside the locker in this way, the lamp on the front of the locker changes to a color that indicates that it is in use, such as orange, to indicate that the luggage is stored. Yes (step 110). After that, when the delivery company inserts the prepared slip through the slip insertion opening 31 of the printing unit 23, for example, the delivery date of the package, the delivery time, the house number of the delivery destination, the locker number, etc. are printed (step). 111). Such a print provides the courier with proof of delivery to the recipient's resident.
In this way, after the printing on the slip is completed, the delivery company card is returned from the card reader 26, and the storage operation of the parcel is completed. When a plurality of packages are delivered to the same resident, steps 100 to 111 are repeated the same number of times as the number of packages to be delivered, regardless of whether the delivery companies are the same or not. As a result, a plurality of pieces of luggage are stored.

Although not shown in detail in FIG. 4, in the case where, for example, a recording printer is incorporated in the computer controller, in addition to the same contents as those printed on the slip of the delivery company, You can also print a record that includes the vendor number. In this way, it will be possible to confirm at a later date which delivery company, which delivery company used which locker to deliver to which resident.

Next, the means for the resident to receive the package thus delivered will be described with reference to the flow chart shown in FIG. First, the resident inserts the registration card distributed to each resident into the card reader 26 of the operation unit 22 (step 120). Then, the computer controller 40 determines whether the inserted card is a correct registration card (step 12).
1). At this time, if it is determined that the registration card is not the correct registration card, the registration card is pushed out from the card reader 26 to return the card, and the subsequent procedure becomes impossible (step 122). If the inserted card is a correct registration card, then the computer controller 40 determines whether or not the luggage corresponding to the registration card is stored for the resident (step 123). If the luggage is not stored here, a message indicating that the luggage is not stored is displayed (step 124), the card is returned (step 122), and the subsequent procedure becomes impossible. Further, at this time, when the parcel to the resident whose house number is registered in the registration card is stored, the memory of the stored parcel number A stored in the computer controller 40 is first taken out (step 125), and then the locker number and the number of stored packages are displayed on the data display unit 30 of the operation unit 22 (step 126). After such a display is made, the resident who should take out the package inserts 200 yen into the coin slot 32 of the slot 24 (step 127). If you don't put in this 200 yen,
The card is returned (step 122), and the luggage cannot be taken out. In such a situation, for example, when a resident returns home, he or she checks whether or not luggage is stored, but when there is luggage stored but there is no change with him. And so on. The resident who inputs 200 yen here will open the locker door corresponding to the locker number designated in advance within 30 seconds (step 128). If the locker door corresponding to the designated locker number is not opened within 30 seconds, the inserted 200 yen is returned (step 129), the card is returned (step 122), and the luggage is taken out. You cannot do it. In such a case, by repeating a series of operations from the card reader 26 again, the luggage can be taken out. On the contrary, when the door of the locker corresponding to the locker number displayed within 30 seconds is opened, the luggage can be taken out thereafter (step 130). To take out this luggage,
It is detected by the same sensor as described when the luggage is stored. After taking out the luggage, the locker door is closed (step 131). When the luggage is taken out in this way, the number of stored luggage stored in the counter B is incremented by "1". Next, the computer controller 40 determines whether or not the number A obtained by subtracting the incremented counter B, that is, the number of taken-out packages from the previously stored number A of stored packages is 0 or more. At this time, when B is less than A, specifically, when three packages are stored, when one of the packages is taken out, A and B are subtracted by three. Becomes 1,
Since the result is 2, the process returns to step 126 for displaying the locker number and the number of packages again, and the same step is repeated. In this way, when A minus B is not greater than 0, that is, when A minus B is equal to 0, the resident is in a state of taking out all delivered packages addressed to itself. Then, A and the incremented B are cleared (step 134), the card is returned (step 122), and then a series of operations ends. In the above description, for example, step 123
If the locker number and the number of stored luggage are displayed and the chime or the like is formed to sound when the luggage determined in step S1 is stored, forgetting to take out the luggage can be prevented. Further, when a plurality of packages are stored, that is, when the value of A minus B determined in step 133 is a natural number, the chime is sounded again to further reduce forgetting to take out the packages. Furthermore, when the internal recording printer is built in by the computer controller 40, after the resident takes out the package and closes the locker, the date and time when the package was received, the residence number of the resident, the retrieved locker number, and If a display such as "out" is recorded, it is possible to reconfirm the record of storing or taking out the luggage at a later date.

Next, a means for the resident to make a reservation in advance for a locker for storing luggage to be delivered will be described. Regarding this reservation means, there are a method of using the registration card owned by the resident and a method of not using it. First, the reservation using the registration card will be described with reference to FIG. First, at this time, the resident inserts the registration card into the card reader 26 (step 260). The computer controller 40 determines whether or not the inserted card is an authorized card (step 26).
1) If the card is not correct, the inserted card is returned to the card reader 26 (step 262) and the locker registration below cannot be performed. If the registration card is a legitimate card, then 200 yen is charged as the locker fee (step 2).
63). When 200 yen has not been inserted, the card is returned to the card reader 26 (step 262),
The locker cannot be specified. After inserting 200 yen, first, the "rocker number" of the instruction unit 28 is pushed, and then the ten key 27 is operated to specify the desired locker number (step 264). Then, the designated locker turns on the lamp in use, even though there is no stored item in the locker (step 265). After the locker number has been designated in this way, the card is returned from the card reader 26 (step 262), and a series of reservation operations ends. At this time, when a plurality of lockers are reserved, steps 260 to 265 are repeated according to the number of lockers to be reserved.

Locker reservation in which the resident does not need his own registration card will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. At this time, the resident first inserts 200 yen from the coin insertion slot 32 (step 1
40). After that, after pressing the "house number" of the instruction section 28, the house number which is his / her room is designated by operating the ten keys 27 (step 141). Next, the instruction unit 28
After pressing "Locker number", the locker number of a desired size is designated (step 142). Then, although the locker corresponding to the designated number does not store the luggage, the busy lamp of the locker designated for the number is turned on (step 143), and the locker reservation is completed. When making a reservation for a plurality of lockers, steps 140 to 143 are repeated according to the number of lockers to be reserved. When the locker is designated in this way, if the recording printer is built-in, the date and time when the locker is reserved, the number of the living room, the locker number, etc. are recorded by the computer controller 40.

Further, in FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, etc., 2
Although there is no description of the flow chart when you make mistakes in various operations after the insertion of 00 yen, in such a case, the 200 yen that you inserted returns from the cancellation port 34 with the return of the card etc. and the beginning of the flowchart again. The operation is repeated from.

Regarding the means for the delivery company to store the luggage in the locker thus booked,
Description will be given according to the flowchart shown in FIG. First,
The delivery company inserts the delivery company registration card distributed in advance in the card reader 26 (step 15).
0). Thus, after the courier card has been inserted, the computer controller 40 identifies whether the inserted courier card is a correctly registered courier card (step 151). As a result, when it is determined that the courier card is not correct, the inserted courier card is returned from the card reader 26 and the luggage cannot be deposited (step 15).
2). If the courier card is the correct card,
Next, the "residential number" of the instructing section 28 is pressed, and thereafter the ten key 27 is operated to specify the residential number of the resident who is the destination (step 153). When the resident having the designated house number has made a locker reservation in advance, the data display unit 30 displays which locker the locker should store (step 154). When such a display is made, it is determined whether the locker door is opened within 30 seconds (step 155). Subsequent operations are processed in the same manner as steps 107 to 111 in the flowchart of FIG. 4, and therefore are shown as steps 156 to 160 and detailed description thereof is omitted. At this time, when packages are delivered to a plurality of lockers reserved by the same resident, regardless of whether the delivery company is the same or not, the step count is the same as the number of packages to be delivered. By repeating steps 150 to 152, a plurality of packages are stored.

The case where the resident takes out the luggage stored in this way will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. However, since the flowchart shown in FIG. 9 is the same except step 127 which is the presence / absence determination of the insertion of 200 yen in the flowchart shown in FIG. 5, steps 170 to 183 are performed.
However, detailed description thereof will be omitted.

The locker reservation as described above can also be made by telephone. Means for making such a reservation will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. At this time, the resident first calls the telephone number designated in advance (step 19).
0). This phone is connected to the computer controller 40. Next, the resident presses the * mark on the touch-tone phone once (step 191), and then inputs the house number using the ten-key pad 27 of the touch-tone phone (step 192). Further, after the resident presses the * mark (step 193), this time, the locker number is input (step 194). Then, the voice synthesis IC installed in the computer controller 40 notifies that the reservation is completed, and the locker reservation by telephone is completed (step 195). At this time, if you reserve one of the lockers but do not specify a locker,
That is, when making a reservation for a locker without limitation on the size or type of the locker, for example, by pressing the * mark twice in succession after step 192, the locker number is opened without reservation. The locker can be configured to be stored in the computer controller 40 as well after the reservation is made. When making reservations for a plurality of lockers when making such locker reservations by telephone, steps 190 to 195 may be repeated, but after step 195, the * mark is 1
Step 192 or step 1 by pressing once
It is also possible to shift to 94 and save the trouble of calling again or re-entering the house number.

When the locker is reserved in this way, the procedure for the delivery company to store the package in the reserved locker is the same as the flowchart shown in FIG. , Description is omitted. In addition, regarding the procedure for taking out the items stored in the locker reserved by telephone in this way, 200 yen is not put in when the locker is reserved,
It is similar to the flowchart shown in FIG. 5 so that the locker can be opened after 200 yen has been put in, so detailed description will be omitted.

Next, ask the luggage courier courier
Such as if you, the means in the case for housing the luggage-out previously resident ship all joint locker apparatus according to the present invention will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. 11. First, at this time, the resident inserts his / her own registration card into the card reader 26 as in the conventional case (step 200). If the inserted card is not the correct registration card (step 201), the inserted card is returned from the card reader 26 (step 20).
2) The work of shipping packages cannot be performed. If the inserted card is the correct card, the resident who should store the next baggage will enter 2 in the coin slot 32 of the slot 24.
Enter 00 yen (step 203). Of course this 20
Card reader 26
The card inserted in is returned (step 20
2), luggage cannot be stored. Although not shown in the drawing for the input of 200 yen, it is also possible to provide a means for determining whether or not the input is within 1 minute. 20
After inserting 0 yen, the user inputs the personal identification number with the ten keys 27 while pressing the "personal identification number" of the instruction unit 28 (step 204). Next, the "locker number" of the instruction unit 28 is pushed, and the number of the locker number to be stored is specified by operating the ten keys 27 (step 205).
After that, it is determined whether the door of the locker for which the number is designated is opened within 30 seconds after the number is designated (step 206). If it is not opened within 30 seconds, the previously inserted 200 yen is returned from the cancel opening 34 of the insertion section 24 (step 207), the card is also returned from the card reader 26 (step 202), and the package after that is returned. Will not be able to be stored. That is,
Residents can store their luggage inside the locker by opening the locker door within 30 seconds (step 2).
08). The stored luggage is confirmed by the sensor provided inside the locker (step 20).
9) After that, by closing the door of the locker (step 210), the lamp during use of the locker is turned on (step 211). After storing the luggage in this way, the date and time of storing the luggage, the resident number, the locker number, etc. are printed on the storage slip stored inside the device and output (step 212). Also, when the resident brings the storage slip, the slip insertion slot 31
Then, by inserting the storage slip, the same contents as described above are printed and returned from the slip insertion slot 31 (step 212). By printing on the storage slip in this way, it is proof that the resident has left the luggage in the locker at a later date. Also, after printing on the storage form in this way, the card reader 26
The card is returned from (step 202), and a series of baggage depositing operations are completed. When the same resident stores a plurality of luggage inside a plurality of lockers, the steps 200 to 202 are repeated by the same number of times as the number of luggage to be stored.

Thus, when the resident has previously stored the package to be shipped in the locker, the delivery company can take out the stored package according to the flowchart shown in FIG. explain.
Also at this time, the delivery company first inserts a pre-given carrier card into the card reader 26 (step 21).
0). When the computer controller 40 identifies that this card is not a pre-registered courier card (step 211), the inserted card is returned from the card reader 26 (step 212) and the package cannot be taken out. Becomes If the card inserted in this way is a pre-registered courier card, the courier then gives the secret code received from the resident to the instruction unit 2
After pressing the "personal identification number" of 8, the number is designated by operating the ten keys 27 (step 213). If this PIN is correct, the computer controller 40
The number A of shipments stored in the memory is stored (step 214), and the locker number and the number of packages are displayed (step 215). Of course, if the personal identification number input at this time is not correct, although not shown in the drawing, it is impossible to take out the package in step 212. After that, the luggage can be taken out if the locker corresponding to the designated locker number is opened within 30 seconds (step 216), but if it is not opened within 30 seconds, the card inserted in the card reader 26 is returned ( In step 212), the luggage cannot be taken out. Even if the card is returned in this way, if it is the correct courier, by repeating the same operation from step 210,
You will be able to take out your luggage. Conversely, 30
When the locker storing the luggage is opened within a second to take out the luggage (step 217) and then the locker is closed (step 218), the counter B corresponding to the retrieved luggage is incremented (step 219). ). When the counter B is incremented by “1” in this way, the value obtained by subtracting the value of the counter B, which is sequentially incremented from the number A of stored shipments, is greater than 0, that is, whether it is a natural number. It is determined (step 220). If this number is a natural number, the process returns to step 215 for displaying the locker number and the number of stored packages, and the same operation is repeated. Further, when the number obtained by subtracting the sequentially incremented B from the stored number A is not 0 or more, that is, when it becomes equal to 0, A and B
After clearing (step 221), the card is returned (step 212), and a series of baggage receiving operation ends.
This is because at this time, all the luggage already stored in the locker has been taken out.

Next, a means for the resident to store his / her own key in the key storage unit 21 provided above the control unit 20 will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. First, the resident inserts his / her registered card into the card reader 26 (step 220). If the card thus inserted is not a registration card (step 221), the card is returned from the card reader 26 (step 222), and the key storage operation described below cannot be performed. If the registration card is a legally registered one (step 221),
The key insertion opening 25 of the residence number of the resident corresponding to the registration card is opened so that the key can be stored (step 223). After the key insertion opening 25 is opened in this way, the resident inserts his or her own key into the opened key insertion opening 25 and rotates it to the right to store the key. (Step 22
4). Further, after the key is inserted and stored in this way, if there is a contract with a security company or the like, an alarm start signal will be output to the security company (step 22).
5). That is, when the security start signal is output in this way, various types of detection are performed until a key described below is removed, for example, when a third party has entered the room, or when the window glass has been broken. With this sensor, it is possible to detect illegal intrusion of a third party into a room. Further, if necessary, the key can be stored and the lighting of the house where the resident lives, or the control for automatically cutting the circuit for air conditioning can be performed (step 226). However, even in such a case, it is necessary to prevent electric control of an electric product that should be operated even when the user is not living, such as a refrigerator. After such a series of operations is completed, the inserted card is returned from the card reader 26 and the key storage operation is completed (step 222).

The case where the resident takes out the key once stored in this way when returning home will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. Regarding key removal work, the resident first inserts his or her card into the card reader 26 (step 230). Then, the computer controller 40 determines whether or not the inserted card is a pre-registered correct card (step 231). If the card inserted at this time is not a registered regular card, the card inserted in the card reader 26 is returned to the card reader 26 (step 232).
The key cannot be taken out. If the inserted card is a legitimate card, unlocking is displayed (step 233). When there is an unlock display like this, 1
It is determined whether or not the key corresponding to the room number in which the user lives is rotated to the left within 0 seconds (step 2).
34). If the card is not rotated within 10 seconds, the previously inserted card is returned from the card reader 26 (step 232) and the key cannot be removed. If the key is not removed despite the correct card, the key can be removed by inserting the card again (step 230) and performing a predetermined operation. If the key is rotated to the left within 10 seconds after the unlock display is displayed (step 233) (step 234), the rotated key can be removed (step 2).
35). After the key is removed, the security mentioned above is released (step 236) and the electric control is also released (step 237). At the same time, when the parcel has arrived at the house number corresponding to the key, a parcel display indicating that the parcel has arrived according to a command from the computer controller 40 is displayed (step 23).
8). After performing a predetermined operation after removing the key in this way, the card is returned from the card reader 26 (step 232) and a series of operations for removing the card is completed.

If there is a display indicating that a package has arrived during the key removal operation (step 238) and no locker reservation has been made in advance, the package will be loaded according to the flowchart shown in FIG. It will be taken out. Further, when the locker is reserved in advance, the luggage is taken out in accordance with the flowchart shown in FIG. Since any of the extractions has already been described based on the flowchart of FIG. 5 or 9, the description thereof will be omitted.

Next, the means by which the resident designates his / her own house number and inquires by telephone whether or not the package from the delivery company is stored in the joint locker device will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. To do. In such a case, the resident first makes a call to a predetermined telephone number (step 240). After the telephone number, the * mark used for the touch-tone telephone is pressed (step 241), and the user's house number is entered using the ten-key pad of the telephone (step 242). Then, in the computer controller 40, it is determined whether or not the package corresponding to the house number is stored (step 243). When the package is stored, a notification indicating that the package is stored (step 244) and stored again. If not, a notification that there is no luggage is given (step 24).
5). In addition, if the resident already explained according to the flowchart shown in FIG. 10 uses a different telephone number when making a telephone reservation for the locker and a telephone number when making a landing inquiry, both are given telephone numbers. After calling (step 190, step 240), press * (step 191, step 241), and then enter the house number (step 192, step 242). , If the same telephone number as the arrival inquiry is set, for example, at the arrival inquiry, after making a call (step 240), *
By pressing the mark twice (step 241) and then inputting the house number (step 242), the computer controller 40 can determine that the arrival is an inquiry.

Next, a means for making a landing notification by telephone to the resident corresponding to the house number designated by the delivery company when the parcel is stored will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. In such a case, the resident needs to register an appropriate telephone number of his / her home or office as a telephone number for arrival notification in advance, and have the computer controller 40 input it. In this case, when the delivery company specifies the house number of the registrant and stores the parcel in a specific locker, the sensor appropriately confirms that the parcel is stored, and then the locker is closed (step 250) and then registered. A telephone call is automatically made to the resident's telephone number (step 251). By this automatic telephone call, for example, when the user reaches the registered telephone number (step 252), the person who picked up the telephone is notified that the parcel is stored by using the voice synthesis IC. Then, the arrival notification is completed (step 253). Furthermore, when a call is made to a registration number registered in advance but the call is busy (step 2
52), and the phone can be repeatedly called. However, if the number of repetitions until communication is set to 6 times in the computer controller 40, the number of repetitions C is incremented again (step 2
54), and then it is determined whether the number obtained by subtracting the number C incremented from 6 is 0 or more, that is, a natural number. The number C incremented from 6 is 6 or more,
That is, when (6-C) is a natural number, the process returns to step 251, and the registration number is contacted. However,
When (6-C) is not 0 or more, that is, when it becomes 0, the arrival report is not issued.

[0031] When using the Joint rocker device, if that always resident pay <br/> a predetermined price for such 200 yen as its usage fee, fairness FIG negative phase of the maintenance costs
Will be done. When the residence is luggage of residents who addressed has arrived, when the resident came home away from home, subjecting for example, when you open the door of each residence room and means, such as informing the fact that the luggage has arrived in chime As a result, it is possible to prevent the resident from forgetting to take the luggage.

Further, as the storage means, for example, as shown in FIG. 4, it is described that the slip is printed on the slip brought by the delivery company after the delivery work of the delivery company is completed. However, although different from the case described above, it is also possible to store the deposit of the luggage in a trader card formed of an IC card, for example. Of course, even in such a case, it is necessary to store in the computer controller of the control unit that the luggage has been deposited as described above. Further, at this time, the delivery company can prevent troubles related to the deposit by having the card reader 26 installed in the company read the memory of the deposit of the package after returning to the office.

Further, in the above description, according to FIGS. 13 and 14, the resident key deposit and receipt has been described. However, regarding the storage of such a key, whether the resident is at home in each living room,
Alternatively, it can be used as one judgment as to whether or not the child is out. For example, when the resident is at home in each living room, the key is owned by the resident. That is, it is assumed that the key is not stored in the key storage unit 21, and when the resident goes out and leaves the living room, the key should be stored in the key storage unit 21 by the computer controller 40. It is possible to determine whether the resident is at home or not. If you do this, the delivery company that deposits the luggage will be the card reader 26 first.
By entering his / her own registration card in the box and inputting the living room number to be delivered after the card is judged to be correct, it is possible to control whether the resident is at home or out of office. It is possible to judge by.
In this way, it is possible to save the trouble of knowing that the luggage is out after the luggage is delivered to each living room, and returning the luggage to the common locker device installed at the entrance to store it again.
