The matching is also performed in consideration of the information of the above.

[0006] A daily-moving person is defined as a person who moves in a certain section at a certain time. The fixed time is a month, a day,
It means moving at a certain timing such as day of the week, time, or every day. When the carrier registers as a carrier, the cycle 207 registered in the item of the movement time in the carrier DB shown in FIG. 2 indicates daily, date designation, or day designation. 207 registers the specific date when registering the date designation. Day designation 20
9 registers the specific day of the week when the cycle 207 registers the day of the week. The time zone 210 can be specified by a specific time, a range such as “10:00 to 12:00”, and a comprehensive specification such as morning and afternoon.

[0007] The certain section generally refers to a station from a certain station of transportation, and refers to a railway, bus, ship, or aircraft of public transportation, but includes public transportation such as a car, a truck, a bicycle, and a foot. This includes the case where people move regardless of the institution. In addition, the start point and the end point include not only the station but also points other than the station, such as the home and work place of the transported baggage receiver. Further, the connection is also included in this, and the case where the transportation means after the transfer moves by another transportation means is also included in a certain section. The start point and the end point before or after the connection can be set as a fixed section, and the start point and the end point across the connection point can be set as the fixed section. For example, on the bus A
From the station, move to station B and then head to station C by train.
-It is also possible to make the section between B stations a fixed section, between B and C, and A-
The interval between C may be a fixed section. The status of the above-mentioned daily movement is registered in the item of the moving method in the carrier DB shown in FIG. 2 when the carrier registers as the carrier. That is, in the transportation 211, a railway, a bus, a ship, an airplane, and the like are designated, and in the line name 212, "JR
A specific transportation line name such as "Yamanote Line" is registered. For the departure station 213 and the arrival station 214, the station name is registered, and if transportation to an area other than the station is possible, the display of the area 町 town is registered. Regarding the connection, the contents 21
7 is managed by a plurality of records.

The carrier can register the object of the baggage to be accepted in advance in terms of weight, shape, and contents. In this case, the consignment of the transport is not performed unless the transported luggage according to the request of the transport entity is received. The weight 215 of the transport subject DB illustrated in FIG. 2 is an item that can represent a plurality of types of weight ranks such as 500 g or less, 1000 g or less, 3 kg or less, and others. The shape 216 represents the shape that can be stored in the handbag, the size of the parcel, the size of the cardboard box, and the like. The content 217 indicates whether or not a crack is included. When the carrier has registered as a carrier, the above-mentioned transportable luggage is registered. When the carrier registers as a carrier, in addition to the above, a carrier subject number 201, a name 202, an address 203, and an e-mail address 204 shown in FIG. 2 are also registered.

At the time of luggage acceptance, the object D shown in FIG.
In B, the transfer object number 301, transfer consignor, transfer luggage receiver, transfer desired time 308, transfer destination, and transfer luggage information are registered. The consignor registers the name 302, the address 303, and the e-mail address 304. Cargo baggage recipient is name 305, address 306, e-mail address 30
Register 7. The desired transfer time 308 is registered within 1 hour or 5 hours, particularly without designation, by ranking. For the transportation destination 309, the line name 310, the departure station 311, and the arrival station 312 of the transportation destination, the same registration as in the moving method shown in FIG. 2 is performed. Weight of transported baggage information 313, shape 3
14, the contents 315 are registered in the same manner as the transportable luggage shown in FIG.

[0010] The transport subject DB set by the transport subject registration unit,
As a result of the collation based on the transport object DB registered in the transport acceptance unit, the combination of the transport subject and the transport object is displayed as the transport subject number 401 and the transport object number 402 of the collation DB shown in FIG. Is registered as "1" (conveyance candidate). Specifically, when the transport object is received, the transportation means 211, the line name 212,
For the departure station 213, the arrival station 214, and the weight 215, shape 216, and contents 217 of the transportable luggage, transportation means 309 relating to the destination of the transported object DB, line name 3
10, the departure station 311, the arrival station 312, and the weight 313, the shape 314, and the contents 315 related to the baggage information are collated. As a result of the collation, if the contact time 205 in FIG. 2 is specified as “at the time of acceptance of the transported luggage” for the transporter that conforms, the transport that conforms to whether or not to make a reservation for the transport by e-mail is performed. It is addressed to the subject. When making a reservation, the carrier that has received the notification replies by e-mail. When the reservation is approved, the status display of the collation DB in FIG. 4 is “2”.
(Reservation input completed). At this time, the transport object numbers for which the reservation has been input are all deleted from the records of the other transport entities.

As a result of the collation, if the contact timing 205 in FIG. 2 specifies “at the time of approaching the collection and delivery station” for the conforming transport subject, the following three methods are used to detect the approach to the collection and delivery station. There is a way. A first method is a method of detecting by a position search method through a communication system of a mobile portable communication device (hereinafter, referred to as a mobile portable communication device) such as a PHS or a mobile phone. For example, a method of detecting the position under control of which cell of the communication system or a difference in reception timing of the same radio wave received at a plurality of radio wave reception points, a difference in distance from the radio wave reception point is obtained, This is a method of estimating the position of the mobile communication device from the hyperbolic theory.
The second method is a method of incorporating bluetooth into a mobile portable communication device and using a characteristic of a bluetooth radio wave that reaches only a short distance to detect that the carrier has approached a carrier collection and distribution station. Finally, the third method is a method of receiving passer information from the automatic ticket gate when passing the automatic ticket gate at a station with a commuter pass, and detecting that the carrier is approaching the collection and delivery station. The communication means is based on the e-mail address 204 shown in FIG. 2, a method of contacting the portable mobile communication device possessed by the carrier by electronic mail, a display on an electronic bulletin board of a station or a luggage collection / delivery station, or a microphone. There is a method of notifying the carrier number and name by audiovisual means such as an announcement. Contact time 2 of the transport subject DB shown in FIG.
05, in the item of the communication means 206, the above-mentioned communication method can be registered in advance for each carrier. Based on this combination, when the transport subject appears at the transport collection and delivery station, the status display 403 in FIG. 4 becomes "3" (transporting) at the timing when the transport subject undertakes the transport, and the actual transport is performed. The object will be outsourced. Note that, at this timing, all the transport objects associated with other transport entities are deleted from the collation DB shown in FIG.

When the transport object arrives at the transport destination, a notification is sent by e-mail to the recipient of the transported luggage. A transmission is made to the e-mail address 307 of the transport object DB shown in FIG.

[0113] After the transfer is completed, the evaluation information on the transfer subject is registered in the DB, so that the evaluation information can be used when ordering the transfer thereafter. Registration can be carried out by a consignor, a consignee, or a consignor. For each transport object number 503 in the transport subject evaluation DB shown in FIG. 5, the details of transport accidents such as erroneous delivery 507, arrival delay 508, contamination 509, and non-delivery 510 can be registered as breakdown of transport accidents 506. And the evaluator 505 that specifies the transfer date 504 and whether the evaluator is a transfer consignor, a conveyed package receiver, or a transfer clerk. The evaluation rank 502 is set as an evaluation item obtained by integrating individual transport results, and the following registration is performed, for example. "A transport history of 10 or more times and no calendar of transport accidents" is ranked A, "A transport history of 10 or more and less than 2 calendars of transport accidents" is ranked B, and "A transport calendar of less than 10 times and no calendar of transport accidents" is ranked C. , "Other than the above" is D rank, and comprehensive performance evaluation can be performed. The transfer consignor can perform the transfer consignment by specifying the above-mentioned evaluation rank. By providing this evaluation rank, the transfer commissioner can select which of the delivery accuracy, speed and cost is more important.

The transfer commission is based on the evaluation rank 316 requested by the transfer commissioner shown in FIG. 3, and the evaluation rank 50 of the transport subject evaluation DB shown in FIG.
2, and is implemented. Also, if the transfer consignor cannot handle the transfer, and if the evaluation rank 316 of the transfer target DB in FIG. 3 is designated as “4” (preferred transfer time over evaluation rank), the transfer desired time 308 shown in FIG. After a certain period of time determined for each destination, the carrier is entrusted without considering the evaluation rank.

[Effect] Since daily mobiles are mainly transported, there is no need to collect and deliver the luggage, so that the logistics can be performed in a shorter time on a route where the mobiles are frequently. In addition, since the transportation is performed in the existing movement route, no additional cost is generated, and low-cost logistics can be performed.
