Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a delivery slip and a delivery method using the delivery slip.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art According to a 1996 survey by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, the number of visually impaired people in Japan is about 300,000. In addition, there are 200,000 people with first-grade disabilities and second-class disabilities (total blindness and total binocular visual acuity of 0.04 or less) who need help of sighted people in their daily lives.

By the way, in the courier service, an absentee contact form is used for urging an absent delivery destination to contact a predetermined contact. However, according to the conventional technology, it is difficult for the visually impaired person to recognize that it is an absent contact note and to prompt a contact to a predetermined contact.

[0004]

Therefore, for example, an IC
It is conceivable to use a module or the like to form an absentee contact form that can encourage visually impaired people to contact a predetermined contact. However, it is not a good idea from the viewpoint of cost to make all the absence contact forms into ICs. Even if a system for collecting absentee contact slips is introduced, the number of absent contact slips handled is too large to expect a high recovery rate.

Therefore, in reality, it is suitable to use only the visually impaired person, for example, a special absent contact note for the visually impaired person, which is made into an IC. In this case, as a method of confirming that the delivery destination, that is, the delivery destination is a visually impaired person, it is conceivable to ask the sender to declare the delivery slip, for example.

However, the conventional delivery voucher is constructed so that the information described in the topmost form can be simultaneously copied to the respective forms arranged below it. As a result, when the sender writes in the delivery slip that the destination is a visually impaired person, the information is transmitted to other persons besides the sender and the delivery person.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and a delivery person can confirm that a recipient is a visually impaired person while substantially protecting the privacy of the visually impaired person. An object is to provide a delivery slip and a delivery method using the delivery slip.

[0008]

In order to solve the above problems, according to the first aspect of the present invention, in a delivery slip attached to a delivery item, the delivery requester deposits the delivery item and then Client slips that are separated and handed to the client, sales slips that are separated from the delivery slip for sales management, destination slips that are attached to the deliverables and delivered to the destination, and the deliverer And a delivery slip that is separated from the delivery slip for use in delivering the delivery, and the client slip is provided with an entry field for entering that the recipient is a visually impaired person. The delivery slip is characterized in that the entry in the entry field is configured to be transferred only to the delivery slip.

According to a preferred aspect of the first invention, the delivery slip is provided on the delivery slip, the sales slip is provided on the delivery slip, and the client is provided on the sales slip. A slip is provided, and back carbon printing is performed on the back surface of the delivery slip at a position corresponding to the entry field.

In a second invention of the present invention, in the delivery method using the delivery slip of the first invention, the delivery person, if the entry in the entry column is transcribed on the delivery slip, the delivery destination. The present invention provides a delivery method characterized by using an absentee contact form for visually impaired persons when they are absent.

According to a preferred aspect of the second aspect of the invention, the delivery person collects the absent contact note when redelivering the delivery. Further, it is preferable that the absent contact note has a voice recording unit for recording voice information about a contact and a voice reproducing unit for reproducing the voice information recorded in the voice recording unit.

[0012]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION In the delivery slip of the present invention, an entry field for entering that the recipient is a visually impaired person is provided in the client slip, and the entry in this entry field is transcribed only on the delivery note. It is configured to be. Specifically, the client slip, sales slip, destination slip, and delivery slip are arranged in order from the top. Back carbon printing is performed at the position corresponding to the entry column of the client slip on the back side of the destination slip. Has been applied.

Therefore, when filling in the delivery slip,
Even if the sender writes in the entry field of the requester slip, that the recipient is a visually impaired person, this entry is not transferred to the sales slip and the destination slip, but only to the delivery slip. As a result, even if the sender writes in the delivery slip that the destination is visually impaired, the information is not transmitted to others other than the sender and the delivery person. In other words, the delivery slip of the present invention allows the delivery person to confirm that the delivery destination is the visually impaired person while substantially protecting the privacy of the visually impaired person.

Thus, in the delivery method using the delivery slip of the present invention, the delivery person confirms that the delivery destination is the visually impaired person and the delivery destination is absent, and only for the visually impaired person, for example, as an IC. An expensive out-of-office contact slip for the visually impaired can be used. In addition, the delivery person can collect the absentee contact form when redelivering the delivered item, if necessary. As a result, the number of out-of-office contact slips for visually impaired persons to be collected is reduced, and a high collection rate can be expected, which is very advantageous in terms of cost.
