  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of a delivery delivery management system according to the present invention. Here, a case where a package (delivery item) received in a facility such as a company is delivered to the destination of the delivery item will be described as an example. A delivery destination is a person to whom the delivery is delivered.

  The delivery delivery management system 1 is a processing device that manages delivery delivery. For example, the delivery delivery management system 1 manages delivery of a delivery 100 received in a facility to a destination of the delivery 100.

  The delivery delivery management system 1 includes a destination specifying unit 11, a notification unit 12, a security protection state setting unit 13, a delivery take-out determination unit 14, a display unit 15, a destination master 16, a package / destination management database (DB) 17, and a delivery. An original master 18, an image history storage unit 19, a user management database (DB) 20, an authentication unit 21, and an operation information input unit 22 are provided.

  The destination specifying unit 11 specifies the destination of the delivery 100 that has been transported and received by the carrier 200. Specifically, the person who received the delivered delivery item 100 (arrival manager) was attached (for example, affixed) to the delivery item 100 using a camera, a scanner, or the like at the delivery location of the delivery item 100. When the slip is imaged, the destination specifying unit 11 reads the image of the slip obtained by the imaging (performs OCR reading). Then, the destination specifying unit 11 specifies the destination of the delivery item 100 by collating the result of reading the image of the slip with the information regarding the destination of the delivery item 100 stored in the destination master 16 in advance.

  The destination specifying unit 11 also stores destination information, which will be described later, obtained in the destination specifying process of the delivery 100 in the package / destination management DB 17.

The destination of the received delivery item 100 is identified, and the destination device (destination device 2) is notified of the arrival of the delivery item 100.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of a delivery delivery management processing flow in the first embodiment of the present invention. First, for example, the imaging means 102 such as a camera or a scanner shown in FIG. 6A performs, for example, the delivery item 100 shown in FIG. 6B according to the operation of the arrival manager who received the delivery item 100 received in the facility. The pasted slip 101 is imaged (step S1). By the processing in step S1, for example, a slip 101 shown in FIG. 6C is imaged. The imaging unit 102 stores the captured image of the slip 101 (slip image) in an arbitrary image format.

  Next, the destination specifying unit 11 converts the image format of the slip image obtained by the imaging into the TIFF format (step S2) and stores it in a predetermined buffer. A slip image in TIFF format is acquired by the processing in step S2.

  Next, the destination specifying unit 11 specifies the slip format (step S3). Specifically, the destination specifying unit 11 extracts a ruled line from the slip image acquired by the process of step S2, and stores it in a slip ruled line dictionary stored in advance in a storage unit (not shown) in the delivery delivery management system 1. By comparing with the ruled line pattern, it is specified which carrier 200 the slip 101 is. In the slip ruled line dictionary, correspondence information between a trader ID for identifying the carrier 200 of the delivery 100 and the ruled line pattern of the slip 101 attached to the delivery 100 is stored. The destination specifying unit 11 selects a ruled line pattern in the slip ruled line dictionary that is most similar to the extracted ruled line, determines a vendor ID corresponding to the selected ruled line pattern, and the slip 101 of which carrier 200 To identify.

  Next, the destination specifying unit 11 performs OCR analysis on the slip image acquired by the process of step S2 (step S4). Specifically, in the storage means (not shown) in the delivery delivery management system 1, for each carrier, the destination telephone number, the destination name, the destination telephone number, the sender name of the slip 101, Information of one or a plurality of reading areas is stored in advance as a slip area dictionary, and the destination specifying unit 1 is stored in a slip area dictionary corresponding to the carrier 200 indicated by the trader ID specified by the process of step S3. Further, the destination telephone number, the name of the destination, the telephone number of the sender, and the reading area of the name of the sender are specified. Then, the destination specifying unit 11 performs OCR reading on the specified reading area in the slip image acquired by the process of step S2, and the destination telephone number, the name of the destination obtained by the OCR reading, Information on the telephone number of the sender and the name of the sender is stored in a predetermined buffer as an OCR analysis result.

  An example in which the name of the destination is obtained as an OCR analysis result in the OCR analysis processing in step S4 will be described with reference to FIG. The destination specifying unit 11 specifies a reading area for the name of the destination with reference to the slip area dictionary corresponding to the carrier 200 indicated by the supplier ID specified in step S3. For example, in the image of the slip 101 (slip image) shown in FIG. 7, an area within a rectangle indicated by a dotted line is specified as a reading area for the name of the destination. Since three rectangles are shown in the slip image in FIG. 7, three areas corresponding to the areas in each rectangle are specified as the reading area of the name of the destination.

  The destination specifying unit 11 performs OCR reading on the three specified reading areas, and, as indicated by the tip of the arrow shown in FIG. , The second OCR analysis result, the destination name “Okao Masayoshi”,..., And the nth OCR analysis result, the destination name “Yulu Hong-soo”.

  Next, the destination specifying unit 11 performs destination analysis processing (step S5). In other words, the destination specifying unit 11 selects the destination candidate of the delivery 100 based on the OCR analysis result stored in step S4 and the information stored in the destination master 16, the transmission source master 18, and the image history storage unit 19. (Destination candidate) is extracted and output.

  Then, the destination specifying unit 11 specifies a destination from among the destination candidates of the delivery 100 according to the operation of the arrival manager (step S6). The process of step S6 is performed as follows, for example. First, the display unit 15 displays, on the operation screen of the delivery delivery management system 1, the destination candidates obtained by the process of step S5 and the slip image obtained by the process of step S2. When the arrival manager selects a final destination from the destination candidates with reference to the slip image displayed on the screen, the destination specifying unit 11 specifies the final destination according to the selection by the arrival manager.

  In step S6, the destination specifying unit 11 further stores information corresponding to the specified destination stored in the destination master 16 (for example, the telephone number of the destination, the e-mail of the destination device 2, etc.). And the information such as the name of the sender obtained as a result of the OCR analysis process in step S4 and the information input by the operation information input unit 22 in accordance with the operation of the arrival manager on the operation screen (for example, the delivery item 100 Information such as the uniquely specified package ID, the number of deliverables 100, and the arrival manager) are acquired as destination information.

  The destination specifying unit 11 stores the acquired destination information in the package / destination management DB 17 and also stores the slip image in the image history storage unit 19 and uses the file name of the stored slip image as part of the destination information. , Set in the package / destination management DB 17.

  Then, the notification unit 12 transmits an e-mail to the destination of the delivery item 100 identified in step S6 (step S7), and notifies the destination that the delivery item 100 has arrived. . In step S7, for example, an electronic mail as shown in FIG. 8 is transmitted to the destination apparatus 2 operated by the destination.

  FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating an example of a detailed processing flow of the destination analysis processing in step S5 of FIG. 5 described above.

  First, the destination specifying unit 11 extracts destination candidates (step S11). For example, the destination specifying unit 11 includes the name of the destination obtained as a result of the OCR analysis process described with reference to FIG. 7 (the first OCR analysis result is “Kuchijuse sheep”, and the second OCR analysis result. “Oka Masayoshi”,..., “N-th OCR analysis result“ 郁 ル Hong 緋 ”) is compared with the destination name stored in advance in the destination master 16. The destination specifying unit 11 then includes the characters included in the name of the destination stored in advance in the destination master 16 and the positions of the characters, the characters included in the name of the destination obtained as a result of the OCR analysis, and the positions of the characters. Is calculated (hereinafter referred to as “character and character position coincidence”).

  Next, the destination specifying unit 11 specifies an OCR analysis result in the case where the maximum value of the degree of matching between the calculated character and the character position is the largest.

  Then, the destination specifying unit 11 extracts a predetermined number of destination names stored in advance in the destination master 16 in descending order of the degree of matching of characters and character positions with the specified OCR analysis result. To do.

  Referring to FIG. 10, a comparison process between the name of the destination “Okao Masayoshi”, which is the second OCR analysis result shown in FIG. 7, and the name of the destination stored in advance in destination master 16 will be described. The name of the destination “Okao Masayoshi” is described in the item of character to be inspected in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 10, the last name of “Okao Masayoshi” is “Okao” and the name is “Shozen”. Further, “Masaharu Yamada” to “Hisami Kamiki” described in the comparison target character item in FIG. 10 are names of destinations stored in advance in the destination master 16.

  The address specifying unit 11 determines the character included in the surname of the name of each address described in the comparison target character item, the position of the character, the character included in the surname “Okao” of the above “Okao Masayoshi”, the character The number of characters and the positions of the characters are calculated by comparing with the positions of the characters. For example, between the surname “Okabayashi” of the name “Okabayashi Masayoshi” shown in the part surrounded by the bold rectangle in FIG. 10 and the surname “Okao” of the above “Okao Masayoshi”, “Oka” Since the characters match and the positions of the characters in the last names match, the number of characters and the positions of the characters matches is one. In addition, between the name “Shozen” of the name “Okabayashi Masayoshi” and the name “Shozen” of the above “Okao Masayoshi”, the characters “Sho” and “Good” match, and the letters “ Since the positions of the characters “correct” and “good” match, the number of the characters and the positions of the characters that match is two.

  Accordingly, in FIG. 10, the name “Okabayashi Masayoshi” and the name “Okao Masayoshi” and the name “Okabayashi Masayoshi” are shown in the “number of characters and character position match” in the item “name” of the name “Okabayashi Masayoshi”. The number of characters included in the name and the number of the positions of the characters coincide with each other is three.

  Here, the degree of coincidence of characters and character positions is determined by, for example, OCR analysis of the characters included in the destination name and the positions of the characters with respect to the number of characters included in the destination name stored in the destination master 16. If the character is included in the name of the destination obtained as a result of the above and the ratio of the number matching the position of the character, the destination specifying unit 11 determines the degree of coincidence of the character and the character position for the name “Okabayashi Masayoshi” It is calculated as 75% (3/4 × 100 = 75%).

  Similarly, the destination specifying unit 11 calculates the degree of coincidence of characters and character positions for other destination names stored in advance in the destination master 16. The degree of coincidence of characters and character positions with respect to the name of each destination calculated is shown in “degree of coincidence of characters and character positions” in the item “name” in FIG.

  Then, as shown in the portion surrounded by the thick line in FIG. 11, the destination specifying unit 11 displays the characters and characters when the OCR analysis result is the second OCR analysis result (“Okao Masayoshi”) shown in FIG. It is determined that the maximum value of the matching degree of the character position is 75%.

  Further, for example, as shown in FIG. 11, the destination specifying unit 11 performs the character processing in the case where the OCR analysis result is the first OCR analysis result (“Kuchiju sheep”) described above with reference to FIG. 7. And the position of the character and character when the maximum value of the degree of coincidence of the character positions is 13% and the OCR analysis result is the nth OCR analysis result (“郁 ル Hong 緋”) described above with reference to FIG. Is determined to be 0%.

  The destination specifying unit 11 determines that the OCR analysis result in the case where the calculated maximum matching degree between the character and the character position is the largest is the second OCR analysis result (“Okao Masayoshi”).

  The destination specifying unit 11 then selects a predetermined number (for example, two) of destination candidates having a high degree of matching between characters and character positions from the destination names described in the comparison target character item of FIG. Extract as For example, among the names of destinations described in the comparison target character field shown in FIG. 10, the name having the highest degree of matching between the characters and the positions of the characters, and the second largest name are each surrounded by a bold rectangle. “Okabayashi Masayoshi” and “Okayama Masafumi”.

  Therefore, the destination specifying unit 11 extracts “Okabayashi Masayoshi” as the first destination candidate and “Okayama Masafumi” as the second destination candidate, as indicated by the tip of the arrow in FIG.

  In step S <b> 11, the destination specifying unit 11 further extracts information (such as an e-mail address) corresponding to the extracted destination candidate from the destination master 16.

  According to one embodiment of the present invention, the destination specifying unit 11 uses the destination name and destination telephone number obtained as a result of the OCR analysis as the destination name and destination telephone number stored in advance in the destination master 16. In comparison, the destination name, the character included in the destination telephone number and the position of the character, and the destination name and destination telephone number obtained as a result of the OCR analysis are stored in advance in the destination master 16. The degree of coincidence between each character and the position of the character may be calculated, and destination candidates may be extracted based on the calculated degree of coincidence.

  Next, the destination specifying unit 11 determines whether the matching degree of characters and character positions for the destination candidates extracted by the process of step S11 is 50% or more (step S12). If the destination specifying unit 11 determines that the matching degree of characters and character positions for the extracted destination candidate is 50% or more, the destination specifying unit 11 outputs the extracted destination candidate (step S18).

  In step S18, the destination specifying unit 11 further outputs information (e-mail address or the like) corresponding to the extracted destination candidate.

  In step S12, when the destination specifying unit 11 determines that the matching degree of characters and character positions for the extracted destination candidate is not 50% or more, the destination specifying unit 11 extracts a sender candidate ( Step S13). For example, the destination specifying unit 11 compares the name of the sender obtained as a result of the OCR analysis in step S4 of FIG. 5 with the name of the sender stored in the sender master 18 in advance, and sends it to the sender master 18. The degree of coincidence between the character and the position of the character included in the name of the sender stored in advance and the character and the position of the character included in the name of the sender obtained as a result of the OCR analysis (hereinafter referred to as “the sender” The maximum value of “the degree of coincidence of characters and character positions with respect to their names” is calculated.

  Next, the destination specifying unit 11 specifies the OCR analysis result in the case where the calculated maximum value of the degree of coincidence of characters and character positions related to the name of the sender is the largest.

  Then, the destination specifying unit 11 uses a predetermined number of names of senders stored in advance in the sender master 18 in descending order of the degree of matching of characters and character positions with the specified OCR analysis result. Only extract as sender candidates.

  According to one embodiment of the present invention, the destination specifying unit 11 sends the sender name and sender telephone number obtained as a result of the OCR analysis to the sender name and sender stored in advance in the sender master 18. Compared with the original telephone number, the name of the sender stored in advance in the sender master 18, the characters included in the telephone number of the sender, the positions of the characters, and the transmission obtained as a result of the OCR analysis The degree of coincidence between the original name and the character included in the telephone number of the sender and the position of the character may be calculated, and the sender candidate may be extracted based on the calculated degree of coincidence.

  Next, the destination specifying unit 11 determines whether or not the degree of coincidence of characters and character positions related to the name of the sender for the extracted sender candidate is 50% or more (step S14). When the destination specifying unit 11 determines that the degree of coincidence of characters and character positions related to the name of the sender for the extracted sender candidate is not 50% or more, the process proceeds to step S17 described later.

  When the destination specifying unit 11 determines that the degree of coincidence of characters and character positions related to the name of the sender for the extracted sender candidate is 50% or more, the destination specifying unit 11 performs package / destination management. With reference to DB17, a destination candidate is searched (step S15). Specifically, the destination specifying unit 11 searches the name of the destination stored in the package / destination management DB 17 in association with the extracted sender candidate.

  The destination specifying unit 11 determines whether or not there are one or more destination candidates associated with the sender candidate in the package / destination management DB 17 (step S16). If the destination specifying unit 11 determines that one or more destination candidates associated with the sender candidate exist in the package / destination management DB 17, the process proceeds to step S18 described above, and the searched destination candidates are extracted. And output. In step S18, for example, the destination specifying unit 11 selects the destination candidates in the order of late date and time when the delivery item 100 set in the item “collection date and time” (see FIG. 3) of the package / destination management DB 17 is received. May be output. In addition, when there is a destination candidate having the same name, the destination specifying unit 11 may aggregate the destination candidates having the same name into one destination candidate and output it.

  If the destination specifying unit 11 determines in step S16 that there is no one or more destination candidates associated with the sender candidate in the package / destination management DB 17, the destination specifying unit 11 performs a similar image search. (Step S17), destination candidates are extracted, and the process proceeds to Step S18.

  That is, the destination specifying unit 11 has the highest similarity to the TIFF format slip image acquired by the image format conversion process of S2 in FIG. 5 among the slip images stored in the image history storage unit 19. Specifies the file name of the image. Then, the destination specifying unit 11 refers to the package / destination management DB 17 and extracts the destination (name) corresponding to the file name of the specified slip image as a destination candidate.

  Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. In the second embodiment of the present invention, the delivery item delivery management system 1 reads the slip 101 of the delivery item 100, identifies the destination, and stores the package ID stored in the IC tag attached to the delivery item 100. Is encrypted to create a QR code, and the created QR code is transmitted to the destination apparatus 2 by e-mail. The delivery delivery management system 1 acquires the package ID by receiving and decoding the QR code from the destination device 2 when delivering the delivery 100, and the security of the delivery 100 indicated by the acquired package ID. Set the protection state to disabled. When the delivery item 100 is about to be taken out from the delivery location of the delivery item 100, the delivery item delivery management system 1 determines whether the delivery item 100 has the security protection state invalid. It is determined whether or not the delivery item 100 is allowed to be taken out from the delivery location.

  FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating an example of a notification processing flow of delivery arrival. First, the destination specifying unit 11 of the delivery delivery management system 1 reads the slip 101 attached to the delivered delivery 100 and specifies the destination of the delivery 100 (step S21). In step S <b> 21, the destination specifying unit 11 performs the same processing as the processing from S <b> 2 to S <b> 6 in FIG. 5 described above, and specifies the destination of the delivery 100. In step S <b> 21, the destination specifying unit 11 further issues the IC tag 103 by storing the package ID that uniquely identifies the delivery item 100 in the IC tag 103.

  When the destination of the delivery item 100 is specified by the processing of step S21, for example, the arrival manager attaches the IC tag 103 as shown in FIG. 15A issued by the destination specifying unit 11 to the delivery item 100. . FIG. 15B shows a delivery 100 to which the IC tag 103 is attached. The IC tag 103 stores a package ID that is information for uniquely identifying the delivery item 100.

  Next, the destination specifying unit 11 includes the package ID stored in the IC tag 103 attached to the delivery item 100 for which the destination is specified, information on the destination of the specified delivery item 100, and the security protection state of the delivery item 100. Is stored in the package / destination management DB 17 as part of the destination information (step S22). In step S22, the destination specifying unit 11 further uses information input according to the operation of the arrival manager (for example, information on the package ID, the number of deliverables 100, the arrival manager, etc.) as part of the destination information. Is set in the package / destination management DB 17. The information indicating the security protection state stored in the package / destination management DB 17 is set to be valid in the initial state (“Y” in the package / destination management DB 17 shown in FIG. 3).

  Next, the notification unit 12 creates a QR code by encrypting the package ID stored in the IC tag 103 attached to the delivery item 100 (step S23). For example, a QR code 105 as shown in FIG. 15C is created.

  Then, the notification unit 12 creates an e-mail notifying the arrival of the delivery item 100 to the destination device (destination device 2) of the delivery item 100, and embeds the QR code in the email, The electronic mail in which the QR code is embedded is transmitted to the destination device 2 (step S24). For example, the notification unit 12 creates an e-mail 104 in which a QR code 105 is embedded as shown in FIG. 15C and transmits the e-mail 104 to the destination device 2.

  FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating an example of an operation processing flow of the delivery item delivery management system when delivering a delivery item.

  First, the security protection state setting unit 13 acquires a QR code from the destination device 2 (step S31). Specifically, the QR code received from the parcel delivery management system 1 is received by the destination device 2 operated by the destination that has received the delivery 100 at the delivery location of the delivery 100, as shown in FIG. The code 105 is displayed. Then, for example, a reading unit 106 such as a barcode reader shown in FIG. 16B reads the QR code 105 displayed on the destination apparatus 2 in accordance with a user operation for delivering the delivery 100 to the destination, and the security protection state The setting unit 13 acquires the read QR code 105. FIG. 16C shows the read QR code 105.

  The security protection state setting unit 13 acquires the package ID by decoding the acquired QR code 105 (step S32).

  Then, the security protection state setting unit 13 sets the security protection state corresponding to the acquired package ID stored in the package / destination management DB 17 to invalid (step S33).

  The security protection state setting unit 13 sets the date and time when the security protection state is set to invalid in the package / destination management DB 17 as the reception date / time of the delivery 100, and the delivery in the package / destination management DB 17 The collected flag corresponding to the object 100 is set to “Y” (step S34). Delivery of the delivery 100 is completed by the process of step S34.

  With reference to FIG. 14, FIG. 17 and FIG. 18, the operation process of the delivery delivery management system when the delivery is taken out from the delivery delivery location will be described. Note that a gate 107 as shown in FIG. 17C is provided at the exit of the delivery place for the delivery item 100.

  FIG. 14 is a diagram illustrating an example of an operation processing flow of the delivery item delivery management system when the delivery item is taken out from the delivery location.

  For example, the delivery item take-out determining unit 14 reads the IC tag 103 attached to the delivery item 100 shown in FIG. 17A that the person who has received the delivery item 100 wants to take out, and the result is shown in FIG. Such a package ID is acquired (step S41). Next, the delivery take-out determination unit 14 refers to the package / destination management DB 17 to search for the acquired package ID (step S42), and whether there is at least one package ID whose security protection state is valid. Is determined (step S43).

  If the delivery item take-out determining unit 14 determines that there is no package ID whose security protection state is valid, the delivery item 100 is permitted to be taken out and the gate shown in FIG. 17C is opened (step S44). ). If the delivery item take-out determining unit 14 determines that there is one or more package IDs for which the security protection state is valid, the delivery item 100 is not permitted to be taken out, and the gate shown in FIG. Step S45). In step S45, the delivery item take-out determining unit 14 may sound an alarm.

  Then, the delivery item take-out determining unit 14 notifies the arrival manager that the delivery item 100 is about to be taken out illegally (step S46). For example, an e-mail as shown in FIG. 18 is notified to the arrival manager.

  Next, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. In the third embodiment of the present invention, the delivery item delivery management system 1 transmits an e-mail (for example, an e-mail for notifying the arrival of the delivery item 100 or a reminder e-mail to be described later) to the destination device 2 and then predetermined. Upon detecting that a period (for example, one day) has passed, a reminder mail that prompts the destination device 2 to receive the delivery 100 is transmitted.

  FIG. 19 is a diagram illustrating an example of a reminder mail transmission process flow.

  First, the notification unit 12 is automatically activated by a timer (not shown) built in the delivery delivery management system 1 (step S51). Next, the notification unit 12 determines whether or not the machine date and time matches the preset reminder mail transmission scheduled time (step S52). The machine date / time is the current date / time indicated by the timer of the delivery delivery management system 1.

  When the notification unit 12 determines that the machine date and time do not match the preset reminder mail transmission scheduled time, the process ends.

  When the notification unit 12 determines that the machine date / time matches the preset reminder mail transmission scheduled time, the notification unit 12 refers to the package / destination management DB 17 and sends the e-mail to the destination device 2 last time. Security protection stored in the package / destination management DB 17 when an arbitrarily set time (for example, one day or more) has elapsed since (for example, the date set as “last mail delivery date / time” in FIG. 3) It is determined whether there is a package ID whose status is not set to invalid (step S53). A package in which the time arbitrarily set from the date when the notification unit 12 sent an e-mail to the destination device 2 last time has passed and the security protection state stored in the package / destination management DB 17 is not set to invalid If it is determined that there is no ID, the process ends.

  A package in which the time arbitrarily set from the date when the notification unit 12 sent an e-mail to the destination device 2 last time has passed and the security protection state stored in the package / destination management DB 17 is not set to invalid If it is determined that there is an ID, a reminder mail is transmitted to the destination device 2 (step S54), and the process is terminated. As a result of the processing in step S54, for example, a reminder mail for prompting receipt of the delivery 100 as shown in FIG.

  In the reminder e-mail shown in FIG. 20, the sentence “If you have already collected, please enter the collection information in the delivery delivery management system.” Indicates that the address of the delivery 100 is already delivered. This is a statement that prompts the destination to notify the delivery delivery management system 1 that the delivery 100 has been received when 100 is received.

  According to an embodiment of the present invention, the notification unit 12 notifies the destination device 2 of a warning message when the number of times the reminder mail is transmitted to the destination device 2 exceeds a predetermined number. May be.
