It returns to step STP25 in 5. If the resident picks up the intercom receiver but is unable to receive the luggage, the resident pushes the automatic baggage receipt button in the residence of the resident to automatically manage the luggage. Make the locker device ready for delivery and luggage,
Returning to step STP25 in FIG.

Unlike the present embodiment, the automatic baggage management locker device is always in a receivable state, and the delivered baggage is delivered to the automatic baggage management locker device without the luggage delivery person calling the resident from the collective entrance. It may be changed to keep it.

In step STP10, the occupant height position limited data previously input in the storage device of the automatic luggage management locker device is compared with the resident number input from the ten key of the operation unit this time to determine the height position. Determine if there are any restrictions.

The occupant height position limited data is as shown in FIG. The content of the data has been approved by the general meeting of the collective housing management union, and has the consent of the majority of residents of the collective housing. House number 201,40
Residents of 5,803 should not use rocker boxes in height position 1 or top, but use rocker boxes in height positions 2 to 4, ie, upper middle, lower middle and lower. I am doing it. Resident with house number 407 does not use rocker boxes at height positions 1 and 2, that is, at the top and middle stages, and at height positions 3 and 4, that is, at the middle and bottom lockers. -It is set to use the box.

On the other hand, as a general rule, general residents other than the occupants limited to height position use only the rocker boxes that are not used by the occupants limited to height position. However, when all of these rocker boxes are in use, even ordinary residents may use rocker boxes at a height position that can be used by height position limited use residents. it can.

The operation and operation will be described below by taking the delivered luggage addressed to the resident with the residence number 201 as an example.

Since the height number of the house number 201 is limited to 2 to 4, it is determined that the house number 201 exists in step STP10, and the process proceeds to step STP11.

In step STP11, the in-package storage data is changed from 0 to 2 for a locker box other than the limited locker box in which the parcel is not stored. On the other hand, non-limited lockers
Even if it is a box, for the locker box that is storing the luggage, the data during luggage storage is kept at 1.

The initial locker box information is shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 3, data of identification number, display number, size, and height position are prepared in each locker box. The value of the height position data is 1, 2, 3 or 4, and the position of the bottom plate of the rocker box is used as a reference.
Reference numeral 1 represents the uppermost stage, 2 represents the upper middle stage, 3 represents the lower middle stage, and 4 represents the lowermost stage. The value of the size data is 1, 2, or 3, where 1 is the S size, 2 is the M size,
3 represents L size. The display number is for each locker
It is a symbol displayed on the surface of the box door. The identification number is a unique number for the control unit of the automatic luggage management locker device to identify and identify each locker box.

In the example of the parcel delivered to the house number 201, the rocker boxes 001, 002, 003, 004, 005 and 00 in which the value of the height position data is 1
Of 6, the locker box with the stored luggage data of 0 is extracted, and the stored luggage data is changed from 0 to 2. On the other hand, no processing is performed on the locker box whose luggage storage data is 1.

As a result of executing the processing of step STP11, for the rocker box whose height position data has a value of 1, the value of the luggage storage data has a value of 1 or 2, and none has a value of 0. That is, the value of the data during storage of luggage is 1 for the locker box that actually stores the luggage, and the value of 2 for the locker box that is actually empty but refuses to store the luggage. .

Next, in step STP12, the box size is input from the operation unit of the automatic luggage management locker device. Enter 1 for S size, 2 for M size, and 3 for L size. For example, the case where 1 is input as the box size will be described below.

At step STP13, one empty rocker box is selected from the locker boxes having a size capable of being stored.

The electric lock of the empty locker box selected by the control unit of the automatic luggage management locker device is unlocked (step STP14), and the lamp provided on the outer surface of the locker box is blinked at about the same time. , Informs the package delivery person of the position of the unlocked locker box (step STP15).

Next, a locker with a flashing lamp
The parcel carrier finds the box and
Open the box door by hand and lock the delivered luggage in the locker
Place it in the box and close the door by hand (step STP
16).

After the door sensor detects that the door is closed, the luggage sensor installed in each locker box detects that there is luggage in the locker box (step STP17). Lock the lock, proceed to step STP18, and return the value of the data being stored in the locker box, which is set to be unable to store the luggage even though it is empty this time, from 2 to 0. For the locker box storing the luggage, the luggage storage data is changed from 0 to 1 (step STP18).

Then, in this case, the data such as the house number of the delivery destination and the date and time when the package is stored are stored in the storage section of the automatic management package management locker device locker device in association with the stored package. The operation and operation of storing and storing are completed (step STP19).
