When the delivery door-to-door product to Tohito side it is possible to perform a home delivery products received by obtaining a postage payment from the recipient side.

  Among these, the courier company terminal 20 transmits to the recipient terminal 10 via the communication network 100 the delivery fee setting information that differs depending on the delivery destination on the recipient side and the presence / absence or number of re-delivery obtained from the client. Is. The recipient terminal 10 is an information terminal device such as a portable information terminal including a personal computer or a mobile phone, for example. The recipient terminal 10 is installed at the delivery destination of the delivery item (delivery item) and is provided from the delivery company terminal 20. In addition, a desired item is selected and set based on different delivery charge setting information, and a response is transmitted to the courier company terminal 20 via the communication network 100. Thereby, the courier company can receive the courier according to the delivery destination and delivery fee setting information provided by being selected and set from the recipient terminal 10 via the communication network 100 in the courier company terminal 20. It has become. Further, the courier company terminal 20 transmits the date and time list to the recipient terminal 10 via the communication network 100 after transmitting the delivery destination and different delivery charge setting information, and the recipient terminal 10 adds the date and time list to the date and time list. The date and time selected based on the date and time are transmitted to the courier company terminal 20 via the communication network 100 to determine the delivery date and time.

  FIG. 3 is a sequence showing an operation process related to reception of delivery charge setting between terminals included in the delivery charge setting reception system.

  Specifically, first, when the courier client requests a courier company from the courier company, the courier company side uses the courier company terminal 20 to send a delivery slip based on the courier slip for the courier from the client. Information input (step S1) is performed, and this is transmitted to the distribution center terminal 30 via the communication network 100, thereby transmitting slip information (step S2).

  FIG. 2 is a schematic view illustrating a courier slip 50 relating to a courier from a client whose information is input at the courier company terminal 20. The courier slip 50 itself includes a delivery address name entry field 51 and a requester (client) address name entry field 52, as well as the size of the parcel package, the name of the delivery item, and the date of receipt of the delivery service. The point of having a column for entry is general-purpose. In addition to this, the billing method column 53 is selected and designated as normal or time proportional. The time proportion here indicates that a cost burden corresponding to the labor required in the process from delivery to receipt at the courier company side is performed.

  Next, when the delivery center terminal 30 on the delivery center side that has received the slip information receives the courier slip information from the courier company terminal 20, the vacant status in the depository terminal 40 on the depository side is confirmed via the communication network 100. By searching, a free space search is performed (step S3), and when there is a free space, the custody location terminal 40 transmits a free space to the delivery center terminal 30 (step S4). When the delivery center terminal 30 receives the vacant information from the custody terminal 40 (step S5), the delivery terminal and the different delivery charge setting information on the recipient side at that time are set as the vacant status via the communication network 100. 10 to transmit the free status (step S6).

  When the recipient terminal 10 receives the delivery destination and the different delivery fee setting information as the vacant status from the delivery center terminal 30, the recipient terminal 10 displays a list of the delivery destination and the different delivery fee (step S7), and then the recipient is selected from the options. The delivery destination and delivery fee desired by the user are selected and transmitted to the courier company terminal 20 to select and send the delivery destination and delivery fee (step S8). FIG. 4 shows a selection menu screen for a different postage (fee) according to the delivery destination displayed on the recipient terminal 10 (transmitted from the delivery center terminal 30 on the delivery center side under the jurisdiction of the courier company side. 1 is a schematic view illustrating 60). This selection menu screen 60 is initial information obtained from the courier company side (more precisely, the delivery center side under its direct control), and includes an item name column 61, a request destination column 62, a delivery destination column 63, and a fee column 64. , And a selection column 65, and the recipient selects an appropriate one with reference to the delivery destination column 63 and the fee column 64. Incidentally, FIG. 4 shows a case where the selection item row 66 is selected and designated when the delivery destination is a convenience store and the charge is 750 yen.

  In this way, the courier company terminal 20 that has received the delivery destination and delivery fee selected and designated by the recipient terminal 10 (step S9) transmits a date and time list to the recipient terminal 10 via the communication network 100 ( In step S10), when the recipient terminal 10 receives the list of date / time zones (step S11), the recipient selects the desired date / time zone from among the options, and the selected date / time zone is used as the courier company terminal. 20 (step S12). FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram illustrating a selection menu screen (transmitted from the courier company terminal 20 on the courier company side) 70 according to the date and time zone to the delivery destination displayed on the recipient terminal 10 here. It is. This selection menu screen 70 is secondary information obtained from the courier company side, and has an item name column 71, a delivery destination column 72, a date time zone column 73, a remarks column 74, and a selection column 75. The recipient selects an appropriate one with reference to the date / time zone field 73. Incidentally, FIG. 5 shows a case where the selection item row 76 is selected and designated when the date / time zone is 16: 00-19: 00.

  The courier company terminal 20 that has received the date and time zone selected and transmitted by the recipient terminal 10 (step S13) transmits the date and time zone as a communication completion notification to the recipient terminal 10 and the delivery center terminal 30 at that time (step S13). S14) to confirm the delivery date and time on the recipient side.

  Also, the recipient terminal 10 that has received the date and time period as a communication completion notification from the courier company terminal 20 receives confirmation information (step S15), and the delivery center terminal 30 that has received a similar date and time period has received the date and time period. Is received (step S16), the information is transmitted to the depository terminal 40 (step S17), and the depository terminal 40 receives the information (step S18). FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram exemplifying a confirmation information screen (transmitted from the courier company terminal 20 on the courier company side) 80 after the date / time determination to the delivery destination displayed on the recipient terminal 10 here. is there. This fixed information screen 80 is further secondary information obtained from the courier company side, and has an item name column 81, a delivery destination column 82, a delivery count column 83, a date time zone column 84, and a fee column 85. FIG. 6 shows a case where the delivery setting condition is confirmed in the condition item line 86 where the delivery count is 1 and the date / time zone is 16: 00-19: 00 and the charge is 750 yen. Incidentally, although it is not applicable in the above-described selection setting flow, a condition item line 87 for adding a charge of 1100 yen is added here, for example, when the number of deliveries is two.

  Further, after transmitting information to the custody terminal 40 (step S17), the delivery center terminal 30 has transmitted that the parcel delivery of the parcel delivery (step S19) is performed to the custody terminal 40 of the custody via the communication network 100. The delivery center side sends the parcel of the parcel to the custody location side, and custody of the parcel delivery at the custody location side (step S20) is performed. Therefore, when the recipient arrives to receive the parcel package delivered at the custody location side, the delivery is delivered (step S21), and the recipient receives the parcel delivery (step S22). After this, the custody terminal 40 on the custody site side sends delivery information to the delivery center terminal 30 after delivery (step S21), and the courier company terminal 20 receives the delivery information (step S24). This completes a series of operations for receiving the delivery charge setting.

  By the way, although the above-described operation for receiving the courier postage setting has been described for the case where the number of deliveries is one time, if the recipient is normal, the recipient side uses the recipient terminal 10 to the courier company terminal 20 on the courier company side. It is expected that the delivery will be received smoothly and the shipping cost itself can be reduced, because the delivery address and shipping information are set via the communication network 100 to receive the delivery. Even when the recipient himself / herself sets the delivery destination and postage information, the delivery location may not be delivered at the custody site at the date and time determined by the recipient's emergency situation. In such a case, the delivery items are once stored at the delivery center side, which is a collection / delivery base under the jurisdiction of the courier company as usual, so that the recipient side uses the recipient terminal 10 again to deliver the delivery center terminal 30 again. It is necessary to reconstruct the confirmation information reception (step S15) via the free space communication (step S6). However, if there is a change in the delivery destination, it is necessary to reselect the delivery destination and the date / time zone on the selection menu screens 60 and 70 shown in FIGS. 4 and 5. If there is no change in the delivery destination, FIG. The date / time zone was changed on the selection menu screen 70 shown, and the number of deliveries was 2 on the confirmed information screen 80 shown in FIG. 6, and a new date / time zone was added and the charge was increased to 1100 yen. The condition item line 87 is applicable.

  In the availability communication (step S6) provided from the delivery center terminal 30 to the recipient terminal 10, a separate menu can be displayed on the recipient terminal 10. FIG. 7 shows price data for each price corresponding to the delivery type in the separate menu displayed on the recipient terminal 10 (transmitted from the delivery center terminal 30 on the delivery center side under the jurisdiction of the courier company side. It is the schematic diagram which illustrated the screen 90 which can be managed as delivery information also in the courier company terminal 20.

  This price data screen 90 shows a state in which the charge may vary depending on the delivery destination and the number of deliveries, depending on the recipient's selection setting in the above-described processing. That is, here, if the normal delivery fee is the price indicated in the price data D2 (which can be regarded as a general conventional average value corresponding to the distance of the transportation fee from the delivery center side to the custody location side). When the number of deliveries is one, the distance from the delivery center side to the custody location side is short and the delivery destination α does not require a transportation charge. As shown in the price data D4, the price is lower than the normal charge setting. As shown in price data D3, the normal price data D2 can be used even when the delivery destination β is a little farther from the delivery center α than the delivery destination α to the custody location side and requires a slight transportation fee. It shows that it can be cheaper than the price.

  On the other hand, even if the delivery destination α is not charged, if the number of delivery times is two, the price is higher than the normal price data D2 as shown in the price data D1. . In this way, it can be said that it is desirable to change the fee according to the delivery destination and the number of deliveries, and to pay the expense according to the labor required in the process from delivery to receipt at the courier company side. .

  In the case of the above-described delivery service postage setting receiving system, the delivery destination is described as a convenience store (convenience store) provided with a storage location terminal 40 on the side of the closest storage location for the recipient. There are many locations where there is business, but there is no problem, but when the delivery destination is a recipient's home etc., it takes time to deliver and deliver, the delivery destination provided by the recipient terminal 10 from the courier company terminal 20 In addition, it is desirable to be able to specify different delivery charge setting information and non-regulated information other than the conditions of the date and time list (midnight on weekdays, holidays, etc.). Therefore, in such a case, the custody site under the jurisdiction of the courier company should include the extra charge determined in advance according to the specified contents of the non-regulated information when the recipient specifies the non-regulated information. If the delivery is received after the delivery, the cost burden corresponding to the labor required in the process from the delivery to the receipt at the courier company side can be similarly performed.
