Also, on the front of the delivery and receipt form 7, a title 15 of "delivery and receipt form", a destination entry section 16, a requester entry section 17, a product name entry section 18, a receipt and seal section 19 are provided. Is provided. Each of the entry fields 16, 1
On destinations 7 and 18, destination information 33, client information 34, and product name information 35 are printed by a thermal printer. As described above, each surface of the attached form 6 and the delivery form / receipt form 7 is a delivery information entry surface.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, a non-contact type IC chip 22 and a non-contact type IC chip 22 are located on the left side of the receipt / seal box 19, which is a position where entry of the delivery information on the delivery / receipt form 7 is not hindered. An IC tag 20 having an antenna 23 connected to the IC tag 20 and having a heat-sensitive type rewrite layer 21 formed on the surface is adhered with an adhesive 24. This IC tag 20 has a release agent 25
Is applied, the adhesive 24 can be peeled off.

The IC tag 20 is thin enough to print on the delivery slip 1 with the IC tag 20 adhered to the printer. Then, a bar code 26 indicating the same content as the slip number 11 is printed on the rewrite layer 21 provided on the front surface. As shown in FIG. 3, the IC tag 20 connects the contact of the IC chip 22 to the antenna 23, sandwiches the contact between the two resin sheets 27, 28, and attaches both sheets 27, 28 to an adhesive 29. It is formed by bonding.

Next, a description will be given of a delivery method performed using the delivery form 1 of the embodiment configured as described above with reference to FIG. 4, focusing on handling of IC tags. First, in a department store or a mail order company, a large number of delivery slips 1 are sequentially applied to a thermal printer, which is an output device of a main computer, in which merchandise delivery management data is input in advance, and as shown in FIG. Each delivery address entry field 1 of the delivery and receipt 7
2, 16, each customer entry column 13, 17 and each product entry column 1
4 and 18, destination information 30, 33, client information 31, 34, and product name information 32, 35 are printed, and the slip number 11 and the corresponding bar code 26 are printed at predetermined positions (step 101). ). At the time of this printing operation, since the IC tag 20 is completely adhered to the delivery / receipt slip 7 with the adhesive 24, the IC tag 20 is not caught at the time of transfer of the printer and the rewrite layer 21 is not caught.
The bar code 26 is printed smoothly.

Next, the IC chip 22 of the IC tag 20
Then, information having the same contents as the delivery information such as the printed slip number and a code specifying the delivery area are written into the memory by a wireless communication signal from the reader / writer (step 102). Write this information before printing.
Thereafter, the same contents may be printed by a thermal printer, or a writing operation may be performed simultaneously with printing.

Each of the entry fields 12, 13, 14, 1
The delivery slip 1 in the state shown in FIG. 1 in which the delivery information is written in each of 6, 17, and 18 and the data is input to the memory of the IC chip 22 is peeled off the release paper 4 and adhered with the exposed adhesive 3. The back side of the material 2 is affixed to an appropriate place of a predetermined delivery product. The delivery item to which the delivery form 1 is attached is sent to the delivery center (step 103). The delivery center reads the data in the memory of the IC chip 22 and the bar code 26 for each delivery item upon arrival to confirm the arrival of the delivery item,
Based on the read data, sorting is performed for each regional center to which the delivery destination belongs (step 104), and shipment to the regional center is recorded on the main computer (step 105) and delivered.

Similarly, each regional center reads and confirms the data in the memory of the IC chip 22 and the bar code 26 for each arriving delivery item, and further sorts each delivery destination based on the read data. (Step 106) The shipment is recorded on the main computer (Step 107) and delivered to the destination specified as the destination information 31, 34.

At this time, the delivery / receipt slip 7 is appropriately peeled off by the delivery staff at the regional center, and is placed near the delivery staff for delivery work. At the delivery destination, the delivery clerk has the receipt stamp stamped on the receipt / seal column 19 of the delivery / receipt slip 7, and takes the delivery / receipt slip 7 with the IC tag 20 back to the regional center. In the regional center, I
The data in the memory of the C chip 22 and the bar code 26 are read, and the delivery completion is recorded in the main computer, and the delivery operation is completed (step 108).

On the other hand, the IC tag 20 is peeled off from the delivered delivery / receipt slip 7, and the data input to the memory of the IC chip 22 and the barcode 26 displayed on the rewrite layer 21 are erased. Prior to this erasure, the number of uses written in the memory is read out, and after the data is erased, the number of uses is updated and written (step 109).

The IC tag 20 whose usage count has been updated is
In addition to checking whether the number of times of use has exceeded the number of times of use, an inspection operation is performed to determine whether or not reusability is possible (step 110). If it is judged that it cannot be reused, this IC
The tag 20 is discarded (step 111). On the other hand, if it is reusable, it is releasably attached to a new delivery slip 1 (step 112) and used again.

As described above, since the delivery slip 1 is also provided with the bar code 26 indicating the slip number, the above-described IC chip 2
By using the data of No. 2 and the data of the barcode 26 together, the delivery work can be more reliably managed.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. For example, other information may be printed on the rewrite layer 21 of the IC tag 20 instead of the barcode 26. Further, the IC tag 20 may be provided at another position.
Further, since the slip number 11 is also written in the memory of the IC chip 22, the bar code 26 need not be provided. Furthermore, it is also possible to provide a printing portion by solid printing or the like on the peripheral edge of the back surface of the delivery / receipt slip 7 in order to make the peeling operation easier. In addition,
A triangular notch may be formed in the lower left corner of the delivery / cum-receipt 7 to serve as a finger hook when the delivery / cum-receipt 7 is peeled off from the bonding substrate 2.

The printer may be selected according to the type of the rewrite layer 21 and the information printing surface, and is not limited to a thermal printer. Other printers such as a laser printer and an ink jet printer may be used according to the rewrite layer and paper. A printer can also be used. Furthermore, the configuration in which the delivery slip and the receipt slip 7 are provided so as to be separable may be any configuration as long as the configuration is such that they are quasi-adherable so that they can be peeled off. A configuration such as tight compression bonding may be employed.

[0021]

As described above, according to the delivery method according to the first and second aspects of the present invention, since it is possible to print on the delivery slip with the IC tag adhered, after printing on the delivery slip, separate printing is performed. There is no matching error that occurs when the input IC tag is attached to this delivery slip, etc., and reliable delivery management can be performed based on the data of the IC tag. Can be printed and rewritten, and the IC tag can be reused, which is advantageous in cost.
