  DESCRIPTION OF EXEMPLARY EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram of a locker system according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the locker system 1 is a storage device for luggage or the like that can be stored in or taken out of a locker box 31 by a user. The locker system 1 includes a ticketing machine 10, a mobile terminal 20, and a plurality of locker devices 30. In the following description, a locker system that can deposit and take out a package many times in a unit such as a day such as a pool or a ski resort will be described as an example.

  The ticket issuing machine 10 issues a use ticket that uses the locker box 31 of the locker device 30. FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of a use ticket issued by the ticket issuing machine 10 shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 2, the ticket issuing machine 10 uses the locker box 31 for use, an identification number for identifying the locker box 31 (number 1F1001 in FIG. 2), and unlocking the locker box 31. An unlock number and a QR code (registered trademark) which is a kind of encryption code are described. The encryption code is obtained by encrypting an unlock number and a designated number for unlocking the locker box 31 and an identification number for identifying the locker box 31. The encryption code may further include information on the date of use when the locker box 31 can be used.

  Note that the unlock number is a number used when depositing luggage at the start of use of the locker box 31. In other words, the unlock number is a number used when the luggage is deposited for the first time. On the other hand, the designated number is a number used for unlocking the locker box 31 in which the luggage has been once deposited. In the above description, the encryption code is a QR code. However, the encryption code is not limited to a QR code, and may be another two-dimensional code, a one-dimensional code, or another code.

  Specifically, the ticket issuing machine 10 has a coin insertion slot 11 for inserting coins, a banknote insertion slot 12 for inserting banknotes, and a use ticket discharge opening 13 for discharging a use ticket. The user can purchase a use ticket to be discharged from the use ticket discharge port 13 by inserting a coin into the coin insertion port 11 of the ticket issuing machine 10 or by inserting a bill into the bill insertion port 12.

  Note that the ticket issuing machine 10 may be configured to print the various information on paper and discharge it from the use ticket discharge port 13, or to store the various information in a storage medium such as an IC card and use the ticket discharge port. The structure which discharges from 13 may be sufficient. The ticket issuing machine 10 may have an insertion slot for inserting a storage medium such as an IC card, and may store the various information in the storage medium inserted in the insertion slot. Here, when the ticket issuing machine 10 has an insertion slot, the manager of the pool or ski resort needs to give the storage medium to the user in advance near the entrance of the pool or ski resort. Alternatively, the ticket issuing machine 10 may be installed at a front desk or the like where a manager of a pool or a ski resort stays, and the manager may receive a fee from the user and issue a use ticket.

  The mobile terminal 20 is a mobile phone, for example, and is carried by a user who uses the locker box 31. Each of the plurality of locker devices 30 has a plurality of locker boxes 31, and can deposit and take out luggage in the locker boxes 31. The locker device 30 includes a central control device 32 in addition to a plurality of locker boxes 31. The central control device 32 is provided for each locker device 30 and includes a display unit 33 and a barcode reader (input means) 34. The display unit 33 explains operations related to locking and unlocking of the locker box 31. The bar code reader 34 reads the QR code written on the use ticket. In addition, the locker device 30 includes an operation display unit 35 on the front surface of each locker box 31.

  FIG. 3 is a front view illustrating an example of the operation display unit 35 illustrated in FIG. 1. As shown in FIG. 3, the operation display unit 35 includes a numeric keypad (operation unit) 35a, a cancel button 35b, an enter button 35c, and a number display unit 35d. The numeric keypad 35a accepts number input from the user. The cancel button 35b is a button for canceling the number input via the numeric keypad 35a. The enter button 35c is a button for confirming the number input via the numeric keypad 35a. The display unit 35d displays the number currently being input, or displays the operation content that the user should perform next.

  When a user uses such a locker system 1, first, the user purchases a use ticket. And the utilization of the locker box 31 is started by the following two methods. In the first method, the user causes the barcode reader 34 to read the QR code described on the use ticket. As a result, the centralized control device 32 decrypts the QR code and obtains the identification number and unlock number information. Then, when the unlock number is correct for the predetermined locker box 31 specified by the identification number, the central control device 32 unlocks the locker box 31. Next, the user puts the package in the locker box 31 and operates the numeric keypad 35a and the like of the operation display unit 35 to input the password. As a result, the locker box 31 is locked and the entered password is stored in the locker device 30.

  In the second method, the user inputs the unlock number to the operation display unit 35 of the predetermined locker box 31 specified by the identification number. When the inputted unlock number is correct, the locker box 31 side unlocks the locker box 31. Next, the user puts the package in the locker box 31 and operates the numeric keypad 35a and the like of the operation display unit 35 to input the password. As a result, the locker box 31 is locked and the entered password is stored in the locker device 30. In the second method, it is not necessary to input an identification number. When the QR code is input in the centralized control device 32, the centralized control device 32 has to determine which locker box 31 should be matched with the unlock number and determine which locker box 31 should be unlocked. . For this reason, the central control device 32 needs to analyze the identification number from the QR code and specify the target locker box 31. On the other hand, when the unlock number is directly input to the operation display unit 35 of the locker box 31, the lock number 31 to be unlocked and the locker box 31 to be unlocked are already specified. For this reason, it is not necessary to input an identification number.

  Further, when the user takes out the package, the user can take out the package by two methods. In the first method, the user first causes the barcode reader 34 to read the QR code described on the use ticket. As a result, the centralized control device 32 decrypts the QR code and acquires information on the identification number and the designated number. When the specified number is correct for the predetermined locker box 31 specified by the identification number, the locker box 31 is in a state waiting for input of a personal identification number. Next, the user moves to the locker box 31 indicated by the identification number, operates the numeric keypad 35a and the like on the operation display unit 35 of the locker box 31, and inputs the password. Thereby, the locker box 31 is unlocked and the user can take out the luggage.

  Further, in the second method, the locker box 31 can be unlocked in response to a case where the user has lost or discarded the use ticket. In the second method, prior to taking out the package, the user reads the QR code printed on the use ticket with the portable terminal 20 and decrypts it. Thereby, the user can know the information of the identification number and the designated number. Thereafter, the user stores the identification number and the designated number in the portable terminal 20 so that the identification number and the designated number can be displayed later. When actually taking out the package, the user displays the identification number and the designated number on the portable terminal 20 and moves to the locker box 31 corresponding to the identification number being displayed. Then, the user inputs a designated number on the operation display unit 35 of the locker box 31. As a result, when the designated number is correct, the locker box 31 waits for input of a personal identification number. Thereafter, the user operates the numeric keypad 35a and the like on the operation display unit 35 and inputs the password. Thereby, the locker box 31 is unlocked and the user can take out the luggage. In the second method, it is not necessary to input an identification number for the same reason as described above.

  Here, the second method is greatly different from the case where a barcode is photographed as described in Patent Document 2. That is, when shooting a barcode, depending on the shooting environment, it may not be possible to capture accurately, and if the user discards the printed matter on which the barcode is printed, there is no way to unlock it. However, when the QR code printed on the use ticket is read by the mobile terminal 20 and decrypted as in the second method, if the decryption cannot be performed, the user cannot confirm the decryption from the mobile terminal 20. Can be known by various means such as warning sound and display. For this reason, the situation where a user discards a use ticket markedly decreases, and the method of unlocking is lost.

  Next, detailed configurations of the ticket issuing machine 10, the portable terminal 20, and the locker device 30 will be described. FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing a detailed configuration of the mobile terminal 20 shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 4, the mobile terminal 20 is a mobile phone, and includes a CCD camera 21, a control unit (portable side decoding unit) 22, a storage unit (storage unit) 23, and a liquid crystal display unit (display unit). 24, a communication unit (portable communication means) 25, and a communication antenna 26.

  The CCD camera 21 functions as an imaging unit that captures an image. The control unit 22 controls the entire mobile phone 20. The control unit 22 has a decryption function for decrypting QR code information imaged by the CCD camera 21. The QR code is decrypted by this decryption function, and the user can obtain the information of the identification number and the designated number. Since the QR code also includes unlock number and date information, the user can also obtain these information.

  The storage unit 23 stores phone / mail contacts and contents of transmitted / received mails in the mobile phone 20, and in the present embodiment, the identification number and the designated number obtained by the decryption of the control unit 22 are stored. Information is also stored. Further, the storage unit 23 may be configured to store information on unlock numbers and dates. The liquid crystal display unit 24 displays an image of telephone and mail contacts, sent and received mail contents, and the like, and in this embodiment, displays an identification number and a designated number obtained by decryption. Yes. The liquid crystal display unit 24 also displays information on unlock numbers and dates.

  The communication unit 25 communicates with other mobile phones 20 and Internet connection destinations, and transmits and receives data through the communication antenna 26. Here, in the present embodiment, it is desirable that the QR code includes an encrypted communication connection destination (for example, URL) for providing a predetermined service to the user. Thereby, the user can receive provision of a lift ticket or the like at the ski resort using the communication unit 25. This is because, in particular, for the user, information on the communication connection destination can be obtained in decryption when obtaining information such as an identification number, and it is not necessary to perform a new operation in order to receive provision of services.

  FIG. 5 is a block diagram showing a detailed configuration of the ticket issuing machine 10 shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 5, in addition to the configuration shown in FIG. 1, the ticket issuing machine 10 includes a coin bill detector 14, a designated number issuing unit 15, a storage unit 16, an encryption unit 17, and a communication unit. 18 and a use ticket issuing unit 19.

Moreover, when the detected amount of coins and banknotes reaches the purchase amount of the use ticket, the coin bill detection unit 14 notifies the designated number issuing unit 15 to that effect.

  The designated number issuing unit 15 issues a designated number for unlocking the locker box 31. The designated number issuing unit 15 randomly selects the designated number for each use ticket issuance so that the designated number is not the same as the other locker box 31. In addition, the designation number issuing unit 15 is not limited to this, and may issue a designation number that is different from a predetermined number of designation numbers issued in the past.

  The storage unit 16 stores an unlock number for each locker box 31. The storage unit 16 also stores information on communication connection destinations for providing a predetermined service to the user. The encryption unit 17 converts the date information acquired by a timer (not shown), the specified number issued by the specified number issuing unit 15, and the communication connection destination information stored in the storage unit 16 into a QR code. To do.

  The communication unit 18 checks the availability of the locker boxes 31 of the plurality of locker devices 30. In addition, the communication unit 18 is configured to select one of the locker boxes 31 that is in an empty state and transmit information on the identification number of the locker box 31 to the encryption unit 17. Further, when the identification number information is input, the encryption unit 17 reads the unlock number information of the locker box 31 indicated by the identification number from the storage unit 16, and also encrypts the identification number and the unlock number information. The use ticket issuing unit 19 issues the use ticket shown in FIG. 2 and discharges it from the use ticket discharge port 13. The use ticket issuing unit 19 prints the identification number of the empty locker box 31 selected by the communication unit 18 on the use ticket. Further, the use ticket issuing unit 19 prints the QR code encrypted by the encryption unit 17 and the unlock number of the locker box 31 stored in the storage unit 16 on the use ticket. In addition, the use ticket issuing unit 19 also prints today's date.

  Further, the communication unit 18 transmits information on the identification number of the selected locker box 31 to the locker device 30. Further, the communication unit 18 transmits information on the designated number issued by the designated number issuing unit 15 to the corresponding locker device 30.

The authentication unit 32c3 determines whether or not the information on the designated number acquired by the decryption unit 32b1 and the information on the unlock number match the number information stored in the storage unit 32b. If they match, the authentication unit 32c3 determines that the authentication is OK. On the other hand, if they do not match, the authentication unit 32c3 determines that the authentication is NG.

  The locker box control device 36 is provided for each locker box 31 and includes a storage unit 36a and a control unit 36b in addition to the operation display unit 35 shown in FIGS. The storage unit 36a stores various programs for control performed by the locker box control device 36, and includes a designation number storage unit (first storage unit) 36a1, a code number storage unit (second storage unit) 36a2, And an unlock number storage unit (third storage means) 36a3. The designated number storage unit 36a1 stores the designated number of its own locker box transmitted from the central control device 32. The personal identification number storage unit 36b2 stores the personal identification number of its own locker box 31. The unlock number storage unit 36a3 stores the unlock number of its own locker box 31.

  The control unit 36b controls the entire locker box control device 36, and includes an authentication unit 36b1. The authentication unit 36b1 determines whether or not the designation number, password, and unlock number information input by the user via the operation display unit 35 matches the number information stored in the storage unit 36a. is there. If they match, the authentication unit 36a1 determines that the authentication is OK. On the other hand, if they do not match, the authentication unit 36a1 determines that the authentication is NG.

  Next, the detailed processing content of the locker system 1 which concerns on this embodiment is demonstrated. FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing an example of processing by the ticket issuing machine 10 shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 7, when the amount of coins and bills that have been inserted reaches the purchase amount of the use ticket, the designated number issuing unit 15 issues a designated number (S1). Next, the communication unit 18 selects one from the locker boxes 31 whose vacancy is confirmed (S2). Then, the communication unit 18 transmits the identification number of the selected locker box 31 to the encryption unit 17. As a result, the encryption unit 17 reads information on the unlock number indicated by the identification number from the storage unit 16. Thereafter, the encryption unit 17 inputs the information of the designated number issued in step S1, reads out the communication connection destination information stored in the storage unit 16, and encrypts the information together with the identification number and the unlock number. To create a QR code (S3).

  Next, as shown in FIG. 2, the use ticket issuing unit 19 issues a use ticket on which the use date, the identification number of the locker box 31, the unlock number of the locker box 31, and the QR code are printed (S4). . Next, the communication unit 18 receives the information of the locker box 31 selected by the use ticket issuing unit 19 from the use ticket issuing unit 19, transmits the information to the corresponding locker device 30, and has the designated number issued. Information is transmitted (S5). Thereafter, the process shown in FIG. 7 ends.

  8 and 9 are flowcharts showing an example of processing by the locker device 30 shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 8, the control unit 32c of the centralized control device 32 determines whether or not a QR code is input via the barcode reader 34 (S11). If it is determined that the QR code has been input (S11: YES), the decoding unit 32c1 decodes the QR code. And the control part 32c confirms the reception frequency n of the locker box 31 which the identification number obtained by decoding of QR Code shows (S12). Here, the number of times of reception corresponds to the number of times the locker box 31 is used, and n = 0 when the user has not checked in the baggage and is about to deposit the baggage. In addition, when the user tries to take out the baggage after depositing it once, n = 1. Thereafter, each time the user uses the locker box 31, the value of the number of receptions n is incremented.

  After confirming the number of receptions n, the control unit 32c determines whether or not the number of receptions n is “0” (S13). When it is determined that the number of times of acceptance n is “0” (S13: YES), that is, when the user is about to deposit the package from now on, the authentication unit 32c3 unlocks the locker box 31 from the unlock number storage unit 32b2. The lock number information is read (S14). Then, the authentication unit 32c3 determines whether or not the unlock number decrypted by the decryption unit 32c1 matches the unlock number read from the unlock number storage unit 32b2 (S15).

  If it is determined that they do not match (S15: NO), the process proceeds to step S11. On the other hand, when it is determined that they match (S15: YES), the locking / unlocking command unit 32c2 transmits an unlocking command to the corresponding locker box 31, and the locker box 31 is unlocked (S16). Thereafter, the operation display unit 35 of the locker box control device 36 displays that the baggage is deposited and the password is entered (S17).

  Then, the control unit 36b determines whether or not a password has been input (S18). If it is determined that a password has been input (S18: YES), the password storage unit 36a2 stores the input password (S19). Further, the control unit 36b of the locker box control device 36 transmits that the password has been input to the central control device 32, and the lock / unlock command unit 32c2 of the central control device 32 instructs to lock the locker box 31. Is transmitted to the locker box control device 36. As a result, the locker box 31 is locked (S20), and the deposit of the luggage is completed. Then, the process proceeds to step S11.

  If it is determined that the password has not been input (S18: NO), the control unit 36b determines whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed since the password input instruction in step S17 (S21). If it is determined that the predetermined time has not elapsed (S21: NO), the process proceeds to step S17. On the other hand, when determining that the predetermined time has elapsed (S21: YES), the control unit 36b determines that the user has not checked in the baggage because the user has not found the position of the locker box 31 or the like. Then, the control unit 36b of the locker box control device 36 transmits to the central control device 32 that a predetermined time has elapsed, and the locking / unlocking command unit 32c2 of the central control device 32 issues a command to lock the locker box 31 to the locker box 31. It transmits to the box control apparatus 36. As a result, the locker box 31 is locked without waiting for the luggage to be deposited (S20). Then, the process proceeds to step S11.

  In addition, when the locker box 31 is locked in step S20, it is desirable that the locker box control device 36 displays on the operation display unit 35 that the QR code is again held over the barcode reader 34. This is because convenience can be improved. Instead of displaying that the QR code is held over the barcode reader 34, a display indicating that the unlock number is directly input may be displayed on the operation display unit 35. This is because convenience can be improved.

  If it is determined in step S11 that the QR code is not input (S11: NO), the control unit 32c of the central control device 32 and the control unit 36b of the locker box control device 36 have received input to the numeric keypad unit 35a. It is determined whether or not (S34). When it is determined that there is no input to the numeric keypad 35a (S34: NO), the processing shown in FIGS. 8 and 9 ends.

  When it is determined that there is an input to the numeric keypad 35a (S34: YES), in steps S35 to S45, processing similar to that in steps S12 to S22 is executed, and the processing moves to step S11.

  As described above, as is clear from the processing in steps S11 to S22 and steps S34 to S45, the user inputs the QR code of the use ticket or displays the unlock number described on the use ticket. By inputting directly into the unit 35, it is possible to deposit the luggage for the first time.

  FIG. 8 will be referred to again. When it is determined in step S13 in FIG. 8 that the number of times of acceptance n is not “0” (S13: NO), that is, when the user is going to take out the baggage after depositing it once, the authentication unit 32c3 displays the designated number storage unit. Information on the designated number of the corresponding locker box 31 is read from 32b1 (S23).

  Then, the authentication unit 32c3 determines whether or not the designated number obtained by the decryption of the decrypting unit 32c1 matches the designated number read from the designated number storage unit 32b1 (S24).

  If it is determined that they do not match (S24: NO), the process proceeds to step S11. On the other hand, when it is determined that they match (S24: YES), the display unit 33 moves to the location of the locker box 31 and displays on the operation display unit 35 that the password is input (S25). Further, the operation display unit 35 of the locker box control device 36 operates the numeric keypad 35a to display that the password is input (S25).

  Then, the control unit 36b determines whether or not a password has been input (S26). If it is determined that the password has been entered (S26: YES), the authentication unit 36b1 reads the password stored in the password storage unit 36a2 (S27). Then, the authentication unit 36b1 determines whether or not the personal identification number read in step S27 matches the personal identification number input via the numeric keypad 35a (S28).

  If it is determined that they do not match (S28: NO), the process proceeds to step S11. On the other hand, if it is determined that they match (S28: YES), the control unit 36b of the locker box control device 36 transmits the fact to the central control device 32, and the locking / unlocking command unit 32c2 of the central control device 32 detects the locker box 31. A command for unlocking is transmitted to the locker box control device 36. Thereby, the locker box 31 is unlocked (S29).

  Thereafter, the operation display unit 35 instructs to take out the package and instructs the user to perform the locking operation (S30). Here, the locker box 31 is provided with a locking button (not shown), and the user can lock the locker box 31 by operating the locking button. The locker box 31 does not have to have a locking button, and may be automatically locked by closing the door of the locker box 31.

  Next, the control unit 36b determines whether or not there is a locking operation (S31). If it is determined that there is no locking operation (S31: NO), the process proceeds to step S30. On the other hand, if it is determined that there has been a locking operation (S31: YES), the control unit 36b of the locker box control device 36 transmits a message to that effect, and the locking / unlocking command unit 32c2 of the central control device 32 A command to lock the box 31 is transmitted to the locker box control device 36. Thereby, the locker box 31 is locked (S32). Then, the process proceeds to step S11.

  If it is determined that the password has not been input (S26: NO), the controller 36b determines whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed since the password input instruction in step S25 (S33). If it is determined that the predetermined time has not elapsed (S33: NO), the process proceeds to step S25. On the other hand, when it is determined that the predetermined time has elapsed (S33: YES), the control unit 36b determines that the password cannot be input because the user cannot find the position of the locker box 31, and the process is step. The process proceeds to S11. Even in this case, it is desirable that the operation display unit 35 displays that the QR code is held again or that the number is directly input.

  Furthermore, when it is determined in step S36 of FIG. 9 that the number of times of acceptance n is not “0” (S36: NO), that is, when the user tries to take out the baggage after depositing it once, the authentication unit 32c3 determines the designated number. Information on the designated number of the corresponding locker box 31 is read from the storage unit 32b1 (S46).

  Thereafter, in steps S47 to S56, processing similar to that in steps S24 to S33 is executed, and the processing proceeds to step S11.

  As described above, as is clear from the processing in steps S23 to S33 and steps S46 to S56, the user inputs the QR code of the use ticket and inputs the personal identification number or is written on the use ticket. The package can be taken out for the first time by directly inputting the designated number and the password.

  As described above, according to the locker system 1 and the locker device 30 according to the present embodiment, when the package is taken out, the information on the encryption code of the use ticket is input from the user, and the password set in advance by the user is stored. When entered, the locker box 31 is unlocked. For this reason, the user can unlock the locker box 31 by inputting the information of the encryption code into the locker device 30 while holding the use ticket and inputting the password. That is, the security can be improved by the two-stage security of the encryption code and the password. In addition, when information on the designated number decrypted in the mobile terminal 20 is input from the user and a password set in advance by the user is input, the locker box 31 is unlocked. For this reason, even if the user loses the use ticket, the user decrypts the encryption code in the portable terminal 20 to know the information of the designated number, inputs the information of the designated number into the locker device 30, and The locker box 31 can be unlocked by inputting the password. That is, even if the use ticket is lost, if the information of the designated number is known and the designated number can be input, the locker box 31 can be unlocked and the frequency at which the locker box 31 cannot be unlocked is reduced. Is done. Therefore, it is possible to improve the security and reduce the frequency at which the locker box cannot be unlocked.

  In addition, when a use ticket that further includes unlock number information is issued, and the baggage is deposited, the unlock number obtained by decryption or operation input matches the unlock number stored in the locker device 30. The corresponding locker box 31 is unlocked. For this reason, if the user does not purchase a use ticket, the user cannot know the information on the unlock number and cannot deposit the baggage, and the locker box will be used without permission to purchase the use ticket. The situation can be prevented.

  In addition, since the ticket issuing machine 10 issues a use ticket that includes encrypted code information in which a communication connection destination for providing a predetermined service to the user is encrypted, the user encrypts the encrypted code with the mobile terminal 20. When trying to decipher the information of the specified number, you can know the information of the communication connection destination to receive the service, and provide the service to the user without imposing a new action to receive the service can do.

  Further, the designated number issuing unit 15 of the ticket issuing machine 10 issues a designated number that is randomly selected for each use ticket issuance or a designated number that is different from a designated number of designated numbers issued in the past. For this reason, compared with the case where the same designated number is issued to the same locker box 31 every time, the situation where the user who used the locker box 31 in the past unlocks the locker box 31 based on the past designated number. Can be suppressed and theft can be suppressed.

  As mentioned above, although the locker system and locker device concerning the present invention were explained based on an embodiment, the present invention is not limited to this, and may be changed in the range which does not deviate from the meaning of the present invention.

  For example, in the above-described embodiment, the central control device 32 is configured to authenticate the designated number and the unlock number, but may also authenticate the personal identification number. In this case, the centralized control device 32 may have a storage means for storing the personal identification number and perform authentication, or may receive the personal identification number information from the locker box control device 36 and perform authentication. It may be.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, the ticket-issuing machine 10 is a dedicated machine which issues a use ticket, and is not provided with functions other than the use ticket issuing, but it is not restricted to this, For example, a ticket gate of a station, a ticket machine of a ticket, etc. It may be provided with the function of the ticket issuing machine 10 and issue a use ticket. In addition, the ticket issuing machine 10 may issue a use ticket using an image via the Internet or the like.

  Furthermore, the locker box 31 is reserved by the Internet or the like, the unlocking number or the designated number data is stored in the portable terminal 20, and the portable terminal 20 is held over the barcode reader 34 when using the locker box 31. Thus, the locker box 31 may be unlocked and the user may use the locker box 31. In this case, when using the locker device 30, the user smoothly performs the processing of step S <b> 11 to step S <b> 16 or step S <b> 11 to step S <b> 13, step S <b> 23, and step S <b> 24 shown in FIG. And convenience can be improved. Similarly, the locker box 31 may be reserved through the Internet or the like, and may be issued by holding the portable terminal 20 over the ticket issuing machine 10.

  Moreover, it is desirable that the portable terminal 20 includes a notification unit that notifies the user when the QR code printed on the use ticket is decrypted or not. This is because the user can know that the decryption could not be performed and can prevent a situation where the use ticket is discarded without being able to decrypt the decryption.

  Furthermore, the centralized control device 32 is provided with operation means capable of inputting a number. The identification number is input via the operation means, and then the QR code is held over the bar code reader 34, so that the corresponding locker box 31 has a personal identification number.
