When the amount is input by the barcode reader 2a,
The input operation becomes easier. Note that a storage device (not shown) is provided inside the mobile terminal 2 so that operation data and transaction data can be stored as appropriate.

Next, regarding the transaction data acquisition flow,
This will be described with reference to FIGS. First, the shipping company 10
To the tank lorry 100 that is waiting for the operation, an operation table 12 that is a list of supply and delivery locations for the operation on that day is passed. The operation table 12 displays (prints) the information of the supply place and the delivery place with the bar code 12a, respectively, and the liquefied gas is purchased (loaded) at the supply place 20 shown in FIG. The purchase (loading) processing flow here is as shown in FIG.

In this figure, the "purchase" button 2c and the "input" button 2e of the portable terminal 2 are pressed in this order (A
1). Then, a display for asking about the operation status (the price of the toll road) appears on the screen 2f, and the necessary items are appropriately input using the ten keys 2d (A2). Next, a display asking for the supplier appears on the screen 2f, and the code number “0305522” is displayed.

For example, there are a method of measuring the weight of the tank lorry 100 before and after the loading of the liquefied gas and subtracting the measured weight, and a method of directly calculating the loading amount using a predetermined flow meter. Examples of the flow meter include a Karman vortex flow meter described in Utility Model Registration No. 2547710, a known orifice flow meter, and a known constant volume rotary flow meter. Here, since each of the weighing methods such as the gravimetric method and the flow rate method is coded, for example, a code number “11” corresponding to the gravimetric method may be input (A4). In addition, in addition to the supplier, information on the weighing method is included in the above-mentioned supply location barcode, and step A3
The input of the weighing method may be performed simultaneously. Furthermore, since the "previous quantity" is asked on the screen 2f, the weight of the tank lorry 100 before loading the liquefied gas is measured by the truck scale 22 installed at the supply place 20, and the value is input by the ten keys 2d. (A5). Similarly, when the "post-quantity" is asked, the weight of the tank truck 100 after the liquefied gas is loaded is measured by the truck scale 22, and the value is input using the numeric keypad 2d (A6). In this manner, the storage device of the portable terminal 2 stores the weight before loading and the weight after loading in the data D1 associated with the supply location 20.
Is stored.

When the weight of the liquefied gas before and after the loading is measured, the track scale 22 is preferably provided with a means 22a for printing or displaying the measured value as a bar code. Truck scale (Tankuki)
It is a certified measuring instrument to which the Measurement Law is applied, and a weighing slip is printed by an attached printer. In the present invention, a function of printing a barcode is added to the printer as a printing means 22a, and a barcode can be printed on a weighing slip together with the numerical display of the weight. The means 22a may be a device for printing a barcode different from a printer, such as a liquid crystal screen for displaying a barcode, a CRT, or the like.
(CRT) or other display device. When the printing or display means 22a is provided in this way, step A
5, In A6, the measured value can be easily read and input by the barcode reader 2a, the work efficiency is improved, and input errors are reduced.

Next, the tank lorry 100 is operated by the operation table 12.
To the delivery location A shown in FIG. 1 and delivers the liquefied gas. The delivery processing flow here is as shown in FIG.

In this figure, the "delivery" button 2c and the "input" button 2e of the portable terminal 2 are pressed in this order (B
1). Then, a display for asking about the operation status (the price of the toll road) appears on the screen 2f, and the necessary items are appropriately input using the ten keys 2d (B2). Next, a display for asking for a delivery destination appears on the screen 2f, and the code number may be input as appropriate (B3). Instead, the barcode reader 2a uses the barcode corresponding to the delivery location A in the operation table 12. May be read. Further, a bar code (including information on the delivery location A) attached to a liquefied gas storage container (CE: Cold Evapolator) 30 installed at the delivery location A may be read. Next, the liquefied gas measuring method and the unit are asked on the screen 2f, so that the code number may be input as in the case of step A4 (B4). Further, the barcode reader 2a may read the delivery location barcode or the barcode attached to the CE 30. Further, in addition to the delivery place information, information on the weighing method is included in these barcodes, and the input of the weighing method (B
4) may be performed simultaneously. Next, when the "retention rate" (remaining amount of liquefied gas loaded on the tank lorry) inquired on the screen 2f is appropriately input with the ten keys 2d, "before quantity" and "after quantity" are asked on the screen 2f. Therefore, these numerical values may be input in the same manner as in steps A5 and A6 (B6 and B7). At this time, the truck scale 2 is attached to the truck scale 32 installed at the delivery site A.
It is preferable to provide the same printing or display means 32a as in the second embodiment. In addition, when the delivery place A does not have a truck scale, it is good to input 0 in "before quantity" and "after quantity", and to carry out weight measurement later at another delivery place or supply place having a truck scale. .

As described above, the truck scales 22, 32 and 42 and the storage containers 30 and 40, which are components related to the delivery system, are configured so that transaction information can be input with a portable terminal (for example, by providing a display device 22a or the like). , A bar code 34, etc.), it becomes practically possible to input transaction information using a portable terminal.

Further, when the liquefied gas is delivered at the delivery site A, the maintenance work of the CE 30 can be performed simultaneously with the delivery work by inputting the failure state of the CE 30 to the portable terminal 2, thereby improving the work efficiency. It is planned. In this case, if the expected malfunction is coded and the corresponding code number is input to the mobile terminal 2,
Input is simplified. For example, "000" means no problem,
“120” may be determined to be rust on the surface, “100” may be determined to be a malfunction of the pressure valve, and “110” may be determined to be a malfunction of the liquid level gauge. In this manner, the storage device of the portable terminal 2 stores the data D2 in which the weight before loading, the weight after loading, and the defect information are associated with the delivery place A.

Thereafter, the liquefied gas is delivered at the delivery site B in the same manner. However, at the delivery site B, it is assumed that the method of measuring the liquefied gas at the time of delivery is specified to be performed by a flow meter. In this case, as shown in FIG. 5, the processes of steps C1 to C4 are performed in the same manner as steps B1 to B4. Then, in step C4, the barcode 44 of the CE 40 contains information indicating that the measurement is to be performed by the flow rate method. Therefore, when this information is read by the portable terminal 2, in step C6, the "direct" of the delivered weight of the liquefied gas is obtained. The screen asking for "quantity" is displayed.

Here, the flow rate value may be input with the numeric keypad while visually checking the scale of the flow meter, but it is preferable to perform the input processing as shown in FIG. In this figure,
The Karman vortex flow meter 110 has a flow scale 110a.
And an output terminal 110b for transmitting the flow value as an electric signal
Is provided. On the other hand, an input terminal 2 </ b> X for an electric signal is provided at a predetermined position (tail portion in the figure) of the mobile terminal 2.
Therefore, by connecting the output terminal 110b and the input terminal 2X with, for example, the cable 120, the flow value can be reduced.
Is automatically input, there is no input error such as ten-key input, and the input operation is reduced. The connection between the portable terminal and the flow meter is not limited to the above, and data may be transmitted and received wirelessly. Thus, the mobile terminal 2
Stores data D3 in the same format as data D2.

Then, the tank lorry 100 which has completed the delivery work at the delivery locations A and B returns to the transport company 10, the portable terminal 2 is connected to the totaling terminal 4 via a predetermined reader, and the operation data and the transaction data are output. Is done. After the output data is subjected to a tallying process by the tallying terminal 4 as appropriate, it is transferred to the management server 6 installed in the management company 50.

… Calculate the bills and invoices to be sent to and the costs to be paid to the supply point 20, and make the corresponding payments and bills. For example, as shown in FIG. 7, the fare to be paid to the shipping company (○ ×) is output in the form of a daily transportation report. In this figure, ○
× Transport company tank trucks are supplied at the delivery location and delivery location A ~
D performs the delivery business respectively, and the operation data 2 at that time
00, 210, 220 and transaction data 300, 310
Are totaled by the management server 6 and output. Then, based on the transaction data 310a, 310b, the corresponding load freight rates 400a, 400b are calculated, respectively. Further, the subtotal of the fare in each service area (supply location, delivery location A to D) is calculated as the travel fare 220 in the operation data 220.
f-220g and corresponding loading freight 400a, 40
0b are added to each other, and the total fare 500 is calculated by adding the subtotals in each service area. That is, not only the operation data 200, 210, and 220 are digitized as in the conventional delivery system, but also the transaction data 310 is digitized at the same time, and the operation data and the transaction data are related to each other and totalized. Easily and reliably calculate the total fare (500) paid to the company
Can be output, and useful tally results can be obtained. Similarly, as shown in FIG. 1, a bill to be billed to each delivery location A, B is easily and reliably (automatically) created by the management server 6 based on the digitized data D2, D3. Can increase the efficiency of office work. Further, the cost to be paid to the supply point 20 (such as the usage fee of the supply point) can be easily calculated based on the operation data and the transaction data. In addition, if the management server 6 of the management company 50 is connected to the terminals of the delivery sites A and B, the transportation company 10 and the supply site 20, and the above-described payment slips and bills are transmitted electronically.
