[Operation of waste futon management system]
Hereinafter, the operation of the waste futon management system 1 according to the present embodiment will be described.

<Product sales processing>
The futon distributor sells futons to customers at the store. FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing a procedure of merchandise sales processing by the merchandise management apparatus 20 when the futon distributor sells the futon to the customer. A futon eco card is attached to the futon sold to the customer at the futon distributor's store. On the futon eco-card, as will be described later, the JAN code of the futon is printed. The tag attached to the futon, which is a product, is printed with a barcode with a JAN code encoded. The JAN code shown on the barcode is printed on a futon eco card attached to the futon. This is consistent with the JAN code. When selling the futon to the customer, the salesclerk of the dealer causes the bar code reader 25a to read the JAN code from the bar code of the tag attached to the futon as a product. In addition, the store clerk receives the price from the customer and inputs the sales price and the like into the cash register 25. The JAN code and sales price input from the store clerk to the cash register 25 in this manner are given to the sales merchandise management apparatus 20 (step S101). When a futon is purchased in the merchandise information database 24b, the JAN code of the futon is registered. That is, when the futon is sold, the JAN code of the futon is already registered in the product information database 24b. The CPU 21a of the sales merchandise management apparatus 20 registers the sales price and the sales date and time in the merchandise information database 24b in association with the input JAN code (step S102), and ends the process.

<Waste collection processing>
If a customer purchases a new futon, the old futon may not be needed. In such a case, in the waste futon management system 1 according to the present embodiment, the futon distributor takes over the waste futon from the customer at the store. Customers who have purchased futons bring waste futons that are no longer needed to the futon disposal company's store along with the futon eco card attached to the futon. The futon distributor takes the waste futon from the customer only when the customer brings the futon eco card. It is also possible for the dealer to go to the customer's home and pick up the waste futon.

  FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating an example of a futon eco card. The futon eco card 5 is printed with a JAN code 51 for identifying a futon to which the futon eco card is attached and a bar code 52 encoded with the JAN code. The JAN code is a unique code assigned to each product and is used for identifying the product. That is, a JAN code for identifying a futon to be sold is printed on the futon eco card 5, and the customer brings a waste futon different from the purchased futon to the store together with the futon eco card 5. The waste futon collected at the store is delivered to a waste disposal company by a delivery company and recycled by the waste disposal company.

  FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing a procedure of waste reception processing by the waste futon management system 1 according to the present embodiment. The clerk of the futon distributor causes the bar code reader 25a to read the JAN code from the bar code 52 printed on the futon eco card 5 brought into the store together with the waste futon. The read JAN code is input to the sales merchandise management apparatus 20 (step S111). When accepting the input of the JAN code, the CPU 21a of the sales merchandise management apparatus 20 registers the receipt date and time, which is the time when the JAN code is input, in the product information database 24b in association with the input JAN code (step S112). ).

  Here, if the take-off date and time corresponding to the JAN code read from the barcode 52 printed on the futon eco card 5 brought by the customer is already registered in the product information database 24b, the futon eco card 5 Can be determined to be forged. In such a case, the clerk of the futon distributor refuses to collect the waste futon. In other words, in the futon management system 1 according to the present embodiment, it is possible to check whether or not the futon eco-card is forged, and the waste duvet that is illegally brought in is collected. Can be prevented.

  The waste futon collected by the seller as described above is stored in the store. In the present embodiment, when eight or more waste futons are stored in the dealer's store, the waste duvets are delivered to the waste disposal contractor by the delivery company. The CPU 21a determines whether or not the number of discarded futons taken from the customer is 8 or more (step S113), and if it is less than 8 (NO in step S113), the process returns to step S111. If the number of discarded futons collected from the customer is eight or more (YES in step S113), the CPU 21a prints the JAN code corresponding to the discarded futon (that is, printed on the futon eco card 5 collected together with the discarded futon). And the distribution request data including the store information which is information for identifying the store of the futon distributor is transmitted to the delivery management device 30, and the delivery company is requested to deliver the waste futon (step S114). . In step S114, the CPU 21a also transmits the delivery request data to the waste disposal management apparatus 10, and notifies the waste disposal contractor that the delivery of the waste futon has been requested. CPU21a complete | finishes a process after the process of step S114.

  When the CPU 31a of the delivery management device 30 receives the delivery request data transmitted from the sales merchandise management device 20 (step S121), information on the store of the futon dealer who is the orderer (sales information), JAN code, and delivery The order date and time when the request data is received is registered in the delivery information database 34b (step S122). Further, the CPU 31a determines a store of a delivery company in charge of delivery (hereinafter referred to as “delivery store”) from the position of the store from which the order is placed, and sends delivery instruction data to the terminal of the store to deliver the delivery. An instruction is given (step S123). This delivery instruction data includes information such as the name and address of the orderer's futon distributor, the type of package to be delivered (futon), its quantity, JAN code, and scheduled delivery date.

  On the other hand, when receiving the delivery request data transmitted from the sales merchandise management device 20 (step S131), the CPU 11a of the waste treatment management device 10 receives the JAN code and information on the store of the futon distributor that is the shipping source (sales store). Information) is registered in the waste treatment information database 14b (step S132). In addition, the CPU 11a causes the display unit 12 to display a delivery order screen showing the store name of the shipping futon distributor, the JAN code corresponding to the waste futon, the quantity of the futon, etc. (step S133). The worker of the waste disposal contractor confirms the delivery order screen, confirms that the delivery of the waste futon has been ordered from the delivery company, the store name of the ordered futon distributor, the JAN code corresponding to the waste futon, and The quantity of waste futons can be grasped, and preparations can be made for receiving the waste futons.

  The store worker in charge of delivery uses the terminal that received the delivery instruction data, the name and address of the ordering futon distributor, the type of package to be delivered (futon), its quantity, JAN code, and delivery schedule Check the date and make arrangements for delivery. A worker of the delivery company collects the waste futon at the store of the futon distributor and delivers it to the facility of the waste disposal company. When the delivery is completed, the operator of the delivery company operates the terminal to transmit delivery completion data to the delivery management device 30. This delivery completion data includes a JAN code corresponding to the delivered waste futon (that is, the JAN code printed on the futon eco-card 5 taken together with the waste futon by the futon distributor).

  Upon receiving the delivery completion data (S124), the delivery management device 30 updates the delivery information database 34b by registering the delivery date and time of the waste futon in association with the JAN code included in the delivery completion data (step S125). ), The process is terminated.

  When the worker of the waste disposal contractor receives the delivered waste futon from the delivery contractor, he / she operates the input unit 13 to input the JAN code corresponding to the waste futon into the waste disposal management apparatus 10. When receiving the input of the JAN code (step S134), the CPU 11a of the waste processing management apparatus 10 registers the reception date and time, which is the time when the input is received, in association with the input JAN code. The database 14b is updated (step S135), and the process ends.

  According to the waste futon management system 1 according to the present embodiment, it is possible to manage the collection of waste duvets using a JAN code for identifying sold futons. In other words, the futon distributor, the delivery company, and the waste disposal company register information on the collection of the waste futon in the database using the JAN code assigned to the futon sold to the customer as a key. Therefore, it is possible to track information regarding the collection of discarded futons using the JAN code, and it is possible to ensure traceability of information regarding the collection of discarded futons.

  The JAN code is a standard product code used in Japan, and is also used for a POS system (Point Of Sales system) and the like. Therefore, according to the waste futon management system 1 according to the present embodiment, the waste futon management system 1 can be easily introduced by using an existing system using a JAN code.

  Further, according to the waste futon management system 1 according to the present embodiment, when the number of stored futons reaches eight or more in the store of the futon distributor, a delivery request is made to the delivery agent. Is called. For this reason, the delivery company can collect and deliver eight or more waste futons at a time, and the delivery company can efficiently collect a plurality of waste duvets compared to the case of collecting and delivering the waste duvets one by one. Can be delivered. Furthermore, since the futon distributor decided to collect the waste futon from the customer at the store, the delivery company may collect the waste futon at the futon distributor's store. For example, when a customer requests a delivery company to deliver a waste futon, the delivery company needs to go to a different customer's home each time to collect the waste futon. Compared to this, in this embodiment, the delivery company can go to the same store every time (even if there are multiple stores, one of the few stores) to collect the waste futons. The burden is reduced.

  In addition, according to the waste futon management system 1 according to the present embodiment, the futon distributor can sell the futon with a waste futon collection service. The futon distributor can receive the merit that the futon sales are promoted by such a waste futon collection service. On the other hand, when a customer purchases a futon, the customer can receive a waste futon collection service. Therefore, there is no need for the customer himself / herself to transfer the waste futon, which has become unnecessary due to the purchase of a new futon, to the waste disposal site, etc., or to request the delivery company to deliver the waste futon.
