As described above, the format of the call data used in the present embodiment has the ID of its own station and the ID of the partner station, and voice calls can be made between stations corresponding to these IDs. .

The above-mentioned mobile MCA radio 1 has an input panel 1a composed of a plurality of switches or a keyboard. The delivery worker, etc.
By inputting a delivery / collection order number (store number or the like) from a, the input number is sent to the base station 10.

The computer 5 is a mobile MCA radio 1
And a clock 6b for specifying the time of day. The management information of the plurality of mobile MCA radios 1, 1,... Is written in the management table 6a.

The computer 5 judges the pickup / delivery status of the mobile MCA radio 1 based on the management information recorded in the management table and the information sent from each mobile MCA radio 1, and determines the judgment result. It is displayed on the display unit 7.

The display unit 7 is a CRT (Cathode Ray Tub).
e: Cathode ray tube and LCD (Liquid Crystal Display:
(Liquid crystal display device) and the like, and can simultaneously display position information of a plurality of moving objects.

FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 are diagrams for explaining an example of the processing flow in the present embodiment. In the present embodiment, “○” is assigned as an ID to the mobile MCA radio, and ICA is assigned to the MCA radio 2 of the base station 10.
Description will be made assuming that “XXX” is assigned as D.

First, a worker or the like inputs a sequential number “444” (store number or the like) using the input panel 1a of the mobile MCA radio 1 (step St1, see FIG. 3). Here, the mobile MCA radio 1 transmits the input sequence number and the data shown in FIG. 2, that is, the ID of its own station and the ID of the partner station (Step St2).

The radio unit 3 included in the MCA radio 2 transmits data “444 xxx” transmitted by the mobile MCA radio 1.
Xx ", an ID unique to the mobile MCA radio 1 and an added sequential number are extracted from the data and output via the interface unit 4 (step St3).

When receiving the data (sequential number) from the interface unit 4, the computer 5 compares this data with the data written in the management table 6a to determine whether the data is valid.

In the above-mentioned step St1, "444" is inputted as a sequence number, but this sequence number is not recorded in the management table. Therefore, the computer 5 determines that the received data does not correspond to the management data (Step St4), and does not output the data.

Next, the worker or the like finishes the work at the collection / delivery destination, and inputs the sequence number “001” using the input panel 1a of the mobile MCA radio 1 (step St).
5). Here, similarly to the above, the mobile MCA radio 1
The input order number, the own station ID, and the partner station ID are transmitted (Step St6).

Next, the radio unit 3 of the MCA radio 2
Is data “001 ○” transmitted by the mobile MCA radio 1.
○○ ××× ”, the mobile MC
The ID unique to the A radio 1 and the added sequence number are extracted and output via the interface unit 4 (Step St7).

Further, upon receiving the data output from the interface unit 4, the computer 5 compares this data with the data written in the management table 6a to determine whether the data is valid.

Here, the worker or the like enters the first sequential number “00”.
1 ”, the computer 5 determines that the data corresponds to the management data recorded in the management table 6a, and the ID of the mobile MCA radio 1 is“ OO ”and the sequential number is“ 001 ”; Then, the time when these data are received (read from the clock 6b) is output as data (step St8).

Thereafter, the display unit 7 receives the data output from the computer 5 and inputs any data (here, I
D: A list is displayed as to when and where the collection / delivery destination (sequence number: 001) of the mobile object of ○ has completed the work (step St9, FIG. 4).

The work at the next collection / delivery destination is completed, and the worker inputs the sequential number "002" of this place (step St10, see FIG. 3). Here, the mobile MCA radio 1
Transmits the input sequence number, the ID of its own station, and the ID of the partner station (step St11).

Next, the radio unit 3 of the MCA radio 2
Is data “001 ○” transmitted by the mobile MCA radio 1.
○○ ××× ”, the mobile MC
The ID unique to the A radio 1 and the added sequential number are extracted and output via the interface unit 4 (Step St12).

Further, upon receiving the data output from the interface unit 4, the computer 5 compares the data with the data written in the management table 6a to determine whether the data is valid.

Here, the worker or the like enters the first sequence number “00”.
2 ", the computer 5 judges that the data corresponds to the management data recorded in the management table 6a, and the ID of the mobile MCA radio 1 is" OO "and the sequential number is" 002 ". Then, the time when these data are received is output as data (step St13, see FIG. 4).

Thereafter, the display unit 7 receives the data output from the computer 5 and inputs any data (here, I
D: A list is displayed of when and where the collection / delivery destination (in this case, the sequential number: 002) of the mobile object of ○ has completed the work (step St14).

Further, the same processing as described above (steps St15 to St19, steps St20 to St24, step St25, respectively) is also performed for the collection / delivery destinations having the sequential numbers "003" to "005" after the work is completed.
-Step St29), the sequence number and the processing time are displayed on the display unit 7.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, the collection and
When the delivery work is completed, the worker etc. notifies the base station of the sequential number corresponding to the pickup / delivery destination by the mobile MCA radio, so that the base station operator or the like sequentially grasps the position of the mobile. be able to.

In this case, the next collection / delivery destination of the moving object is recorded in the management table 6a, and the approximate arrival time at each collection / delivery destination is predicted, and the load to be collected / distributed is calculated. If there is no, the base station can send an instruction to the mobile MCA radio to pass through the collection / delivery destination.

Further, it is also possible to record the detailed location and telephone number of each pickup / delivery destination in the management table 6a. By doing so, it is possible to maintain close contact between the base station, the mobile unit, and the pickup / delivery destination,
It is also possible to speed up the delivery work and to reduce unnecessary traveling operations of the moving body.

The above-mentioned sequence numbers may be assigned to the collection / delivery destinations in addition to the order in which the moving objects travel in the same manner as in the present embodiment. Also, the time displayed on the display unit may be the time that the mobile MCA radio transmits in addition to various data.
