[Data management operation in the liquefied petroleum gas patrol delivery system]
Next, the data management operation of the host server 10 in the liquefied petroleum gas patrol delivery system 100 will be described based on the flowchart shown in FIG. FIG. 12 is a sequence diagram showing a data management operation. FIG. 12 shows an operation of inputting data relating to the provision of the service of the store C and appropriately storing and printing out the data. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and other functions of the system 100 can be used.

  First, the store C performs an input operation on the terminal input means X3 of the store terminal 2, and, for example, starts a web browser and inputs an address in order to access the system 100 of the host server 10 (step S1). By inputting this address, the connection determination means 111 of the host server 10 reads out and transmits the form data of the connection form from the form database 38 in the database management means 117 (step S2), and the terminal display means X2 of the store terminal 2 The connection form screen 381 is displayed.

  Based on the connection form screen 381 displayed on the terminal display means X2, the terminal input means X3 is input to input a profile name and password into the text box 381A, and the command button 381B is operated to input the system 100. An access request is executed, that is, a connection request signal is transmitted to the host server 10 via the network (step S3). The connection request signal is acquired by the connection determination unit 111 of the host server 10, and the database management unit 117 searches and collates the unique information of the store C stored in the store information database 34 in advance.

  If it is determined that the result of the comparison by the connection determination unit 111 is not an appropriate connection request from the store C registered in advance, for example, the profile name or password is incorrect, a message indicating that re-input is requested is displayed. On the other hand, if it is determined that the connection request is appropriate from the store C, the connection determination unit 111 recognizes the connection, reads out the form data of the menu form from the form database 38 and transmits it by the database management unit 117 ( Step S4) A menu form screen is displayed on the terminal display means X2 of the store terminal 2 so that various functions of the present system can be used.

  Then, based on the menu form screen displayed on the terminal display means X2, when a command button corresponding to a menu item for switching to each window of the menu form screen is operated by operating the terminal input means X3 (step S5), The connection determination unit 111 reads out and transmits the corresponding form data so that various functions can be appropriately used in the store terminal 2. Here, in step S5, a command button for requesting an input form is operated to input data generated by providing the service, and form data of the input form is transmitted from the host server 10 in step S6. The case will be explained.

  In step S6, the terminal input means X3 is input based on the input form screen 382 transmitted from the connection determination means 111 and displayed on the terminal display means X2, and each data is appropriately input to the text box 382A. Then, by operating the command button 382B, the input data is transmitted to the host server 10 (step S7). The data input and transmitted based on the input form screen 382 is first recognized by the connection determination unit 111 of the host server 10 and it is determined whether or not it is a request signal for requesting data stored in the storage device 31 ( Step S8). For example, it is determined whether or not the request signal is to display or print on the terminal display means X2 as a form, bill form, or slip form by operating the command button 382B on the input form screen 382 or a command button in another window.

  If it is determined in step S8 that the signal is not a request signal, the account information collection unit 113, meter reading information collection unit 114, security information collection unit 114, and delivery information collection unit 116 of the host server 10 are used to process the account receivable information, meter reading information, It is determined whether data relating to security information and delivery information is included. The acquired information is appropriately output and stored in the databases 32 to 37 by the database management unit 117 (step S9).

  On the other hand, when the store terminal 2 determines in step S8 that the request signal for requesting the data related to the district in the storage device 31 is recognized in the form form, the invoice form, and the slip form, the form data output means 125 requests the requested contents. And the corresponding data is retrieved from the databases 32 to 37 by the database management means 117 and read out. Further, the form output means determines the request contents, and the corresponding form data is read from the form database 38 by the database management means 117.

  Furthermore, after reading predetermined data in step S10, the form data output means 125 recognizes the destination of data transmission based on, for example, a request signal (step S11). Then, the form data output unit 125 transmits the data to the recognized transmission destination with a predetermined signal type via the network. That is, in the case of a request to be transmitted to the store terminal 2, the read data is combined with the read form data, for example, transmitted to the store terminal 2 and displayed on the screen on the terminal display means X2, or a separate input operation is performed. The terminal printing means X4 prints out. Further, it is directly transmitted to the terminal printing means X4 connected to the store terminal 2, and converted into image data and transmitted so as to be printed as a form, invoice or slip. Alternatively, it is transmitted to the print center F and appropriately printed or recorded on a recording medium (step S12). When transmitting to the print center F, an instruction signal for printing or recording on a recording medium, an instruction signal for mailing to the store terminal 2 or direct shipping to the customer A, and the like are added. Good. The print center F and the terminal printing unit X4 are not limited to being transmitted to other terminals and may be output.

  In this way, when the process of storing data in the host server 10 or reading and transmitting the stored data is completed, a signal indicating the termination of access from the store terminal 2, such as a process of closing the web browser, is recognized. , The process ends.

[Effects of data management in the liquefied petroleum gas patrol system]
As described above, in the above embodiment, the host server 10 acquires data sent from the store terminal 2 to the network, and the data acquired by the host server 10 is classified into items of the same content in the storage device 31. To store. When the host server 10 recognizes a data request signal for requesting predetermined data for each item from the store terminal 2 via the network, the storage device stores the corresponding stored data for each item based on the data request signal. 31, and is transmitted to the store terminal 2 via the network so that it can be output by display or printing in any one of a predetermined form, bill form, and slip form.

  For this reason, for example, data managed respectively at a plurality of dealers C, centralized monitoring center D, and delivery center E are stored in the storage device 31 in an integrated manner, and a form, invoice form, and slip form are selected as necessary. Therefore, it is possible to centralize troublesome work such as organizing and managing data at each sales base, and the processing of data accompanying the provision of services can be obtained smoothly and easily, improving efficiency. Can be easily achieved. Then, since the data is transmitted to a predetermined transmission destination, for example, in addition to the store terminal 2 that requests the data, the data is transmitted to the print center F that prints out the data, and is printed. It is also possible to send out printed matter, and the processing efficiency can be easily improved. Further, by managing the data at a plurality of dealers C by the host server 10 in a unified manner, the data management load at the dealer C, the central monitoring center D or the distribution center E can be reduced. Can be easily simplified, the integrated data can be used for other purposes, and the operability can be improved. Furthermore, since the data to be transmitted to the store terminal 2 is transmitted so as to be output in a predetermined form corresponding to the request, for example, it is not necessary to provide the predetermined form in the store terminal 2, so that the screen display by the web browser This makes it easy to output a form or send it as print image data for printing, and there is no need to build dedicated software in the store terminal 2, simplifying the configuration, building a system, updating, etc. Can be made easier and the operability can be improved.

  When the form form, invoice form, or slip form is output as a form, invoice, or slip by printing, the data is appropriately transmitted from the host server 10 to the print center F and printed out. For this reason, it is possible to easily process data accompanying the provision of a smooth service, and to improve efficiency more easily.

  The output form, invoice form, or slip form is appropriately changed according to the setting of the dealer terminal 2 that is included in the connection request signal and accessed, for example, the merchandise terminal 2 When sales are not performed, the output form can be appropriately changed to a form that does not disclose information such as the name, quantity, unit price, and accounts receivable of traded products. As a result, the handling of data at the store C or the like can be improved, and smooth operation can be achieved.

  Further, the bill form can be appropriately changed based on the setting corresponding to each customer in the store terminal 2 that is included in the connection request signal and accessed. For this reason, when issuing an invoice to a customer at a store C or the like, for example, the number of items to be charged is increased or decreased, so that the flexibility of the billing method is improved and the billing process becomes easy and versatility is facilitated. Can be improved.

  Further, when connection request information having specific information for specifying the dealer terminal 2 is appropriately acquired from the dealer terminal 2 via the network by the connection determination unit 111, data input to the dealer terminal 2 can be obtained. Or the process of transmitting the data stored and accumulated in the storage device 31 by the form data output means 125 to the store terminal 2 is enabled. For this reason, for example, it is possible to appropriately transmit and receive data with a web browser using a general-purpose Internet that does not require the use of dedicated software or terminal devices for the dealer terminal 2 as a network. Thus, it is possible to easily obtain a configuration that allows data processing only to the predetermined store terminal 2 that has been made.

  The form data of the input form is transmitted to the store terminal 2 by an input request from the store terminal 2, for example, an operation for displaying the input form screen 382 on the menu screen, and is input and transmitted from the store terminal 2 Data is stored in the storage device 31 as appropriate for each item. For this reason, it is possible to easily store data for each item having the same content, and it is possible to easily manage data with a simple configuration. Furthermore, since the input form can be acquired at the store terminal 2 by the screen display by the web browser, and it is not necessary to provide the input form in the store terminal 2, software or a terminal device dedicated to the store terminal 2 can be used. There is no need to construct a system, etc., and it is easy to simplify the configuration, construct and update the system, and improve operability.

  And since it is applied to the processing of data in the liquefied petroleum gas cyclic delivery system 100 of LPG, which is an oil related product, the data is accumulated for each item of the same content even from the dealer C having different management forms. Data processing for cumbersome operations such as management of accumulated data and collection of accounts receivable can be performed centrally, smooth and easy data processing can be performed, and sales efficiency can be easily improved.

  Further, the sales receivable information database 33, the receivable calculating means 118, and the automatic transfer information generating means 119 eliminate the need for the store C to collect the receivable for each customer A, thereby greatly reducing the labor required for collecting the receivable. can do. In particular, since the automatic transfer information output means 121 is provided, the automatic transfer information can be automatically executed by transmitting the automatic transfer information to the server 4 of the bank G or the credit company H. The settlement procedure for customer A can be greatly reduced.

  Further, since the customer code is configured by combining the store code with the customer code unique to the store C, the customer code managed on the accounts receivable information database 33 can be identified as a single code, and is accurate for each customer A. Accounts receivable can be calculated.

  Further, the security information detected at the central monitoring center D by the security information collecting means 115 and the security information transfer means 123 is appropriately transferred to the dealer terminal 2 of the dealer C and the delivery center terminal 5 of the delivery center E connected to the network. Therefore, it is possible to improve the efficiency of operations performed in cooperation with the store C, the central monitoring center D, and the distribution center E.

  Furthermore, since the delivery prediction means 120 and the delivery information output means 122 can automatically create a delivery plan in the delivery center E using the function of the calculation center B, the efficiency of delivery work can be improved. Since the customer A whose remaining amount is small can be automatically incorporated into the delivery plan, it is possible to prevent the customer A from having problems such as running out of gas.

  That is, the generated automatic transfer information is automatically transmitted to a financial institution such as the bank G, but the present invention is not limited to this. That is, based on the automatic transfer information, a transfer form may be issued and mailed to the customer A so that the customer A performs the transfer at a convenience store or the like. Furthermore, the store C may collect the accounts receivable without performing the automatic transfer.

  The configuration in which the store C, the centralized monitoring center D, the delivery center E, and the print center F are independent from each other has been described, but some of these may also serve concurrently.

  Further, although the configuration has been described in which the host server 10 performs all of the information collection, database management, and information output, the present invention is not limited to this. That is, each means may be implemented by a separate computer depending on the function, and each database 32 to 38 may be recorded and stored in a different storage device. The configuration of the wear is not limited.

  And it was explained that the form, invoice form, and slip form can be changed for each dealer terminal 2, that is, can be set to different forms, but the form is the same, for example, a remark column is provided and sold in the remark column Data such as data input or display for each store C may be output, or blank data may be displayed when there is no corresponding item data. Further, after obtaining the basic form, the form format may be changed at each store terminal 2.

  Further, the present invention is not limited to the case where the input of data is based on an input form, and any method such as transmitting image data or inputting a barcode can be used.
