Description

  Embodiments described herein relate generally to a home delivery reception device, a product information processing device, and a program.

  Conventionally, stores such as convenience stores, for example, accept courier dispatch entrustment. When accepting a courier service, it is necessary to inform the shipper of the charge and the delivery date. For this reason, the store clerk inputs information for specifying the area of the delivery destination into an apparatus having an interface for accessing a database in which information for determining a charge and a delivery date is stored.

  As information for specifying a delivery destination area, there are, for example, a postal code and a telephone number of a fixed telephone in addition to an address. For example, at a convenience store, a POS (Point Of Sale) terminal device having the above-described interface is used for home delivery reception. The POS terminal device does not include a sufficient keyboard as provided in a PC (personal computer). For this reason, a postal code that can be input using a numeric key is used for specifying a delivery destination area rather than an address.

  The number of digits in the postal code is a total of 7 digits, the upper 3 digits and the lower 4 digits. Conventionally, there are a method of uniquely specifying a region based on an input of all seven digits, and a method of presenting a plurality of regions based on an input of the upper three digits and requesting a selection operation from a store clerk. The store clerk visually confirms the postal code entered by the shipper on the tag and inputs it to the POS terminal device.

  The conventional user interface outputs an error when all seven digits are input and there is no corresponding area. In this case, the area is not specified by the input. For this reason, the store clerk has to perform input work anew. As the number of inputs increases in this way, the time required to complete reception becomes longer, which may reduce customer satisfaction.

  The problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a courier service receiving apparatus and program capable of shortening the time required for receiving a courier service.

  The home delivery accepting apparatus of the embodiment includes a number acquisition unit, a region specifying unit, a candidate presenting unit, and a re-search unit. The number acquisition unit accepts the input of a number of consecutive digits equal to or less than the total number of digits of the region number as all digits or a part of the multi-digit region number assigned for each region, and inputs the number as an input value And When the number of digits of the input value is equivalent to the total number of digits, the region specifying unit, based on the region identification information stored in association with the region number and the region name, the region number corresponding to the input value One region name associated with is obtained. The candidate presenting unit obtains one or more region names associated with the region number including the input value based on the region identification information when the number of digits of the input value is less than the total number of digits. . When the number of digits of the input value is equivalent to the total number of digits and the region specifying unit does not obtain a region corresponding to the input value, the re-search unit sets one or more lower digits of the input value. The candidate name is obtained as a re-input value and the candidate presentation unit is made to obtain the region name.

  Moreover, the product information processing apparatus of the embodiment includes a reception unit, a number acquisition unit, a region specifying unit, a candidate presentation unit, and a re-search unit, and sells the product information from the input product information. Registration is possible. The reception unit starts receiving home delivery. The number acquisition unit accepts the input of a number of consecutive digits equal to or less than the total number of digits of the region number as all digits or a part of the multi-digit region number assigned for each region, and inputs the number as an input value And When the number of digits of the input value is equivalent to the total number of digits, the region specifying unit, based on the region identification information stored in association with the region number and the region name, the region number corresponding to the input value One region name associated with is obtained. The candidate presenting unit obtains one or more region names associated with the region number including the input value based on the region identification information when the number of digits of the input value is less than the total number of digits. . When the number of digits of the input value is equivalent to the total number of digits and the region specifying unit does not obtain a region corresponding to the input value, the re-search unit sets one or more lower digits of the input value. The candidate name is obtained as a re-input value and the candidate presentation unit is made to obtain the region name.

  Furthermore, the program of the embodiment causes the computer to function as a number acquisition unit, a region specifying unit, a candidate presentation unit, and a re-search unit. The number acquisition means accepts the input of a continuous number of digits equal to or less than the total number of digits of the region number as all digits or a part of the multi-digit region number assigned for each region, and inputs the number as an input value. And When the number of digits of the input value is equivalent to the total number of digits, the area specifying means is configured to correspond to the area number corresponding to the input value based on the area identification information stored in association with the area number and the area name. One region name associated with is obtained. The candidate presenting means obtains one or more region names associated with the region number including the input value based on the region identification information when the number of digits of the input value is less than the total number of digits. . When the number of digits of the input value is equivalent to the total number of digits and the region specifying unit has not obtained a region corresponding to the input value, the re-search unit determines that the lower digit of the input value is one digit or more. The candidate name is obtained as the re-input value by removing the area name.

  Embodiments will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an external appearance of a POS terminal device (courier service acceptance device, merchandise information processing device) 1. FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a functional configuration of the POS terminal device 1.

  The POS terminal device 1 is a device used for sales data processing and home delivery reception, and includes a control unit 10, a storage unit 20, a display unit 30, an operation unit 40, and the like.

  The display unit 30 includes a store display panel 31 and a customer display panel 32. Each display panel 31, 32 is realized by a liquid crystal display or the like. The store display panel 31 displays information for the store clerk. The customer display panel 32 displays information for the customer.

  The operation unit 40 includes a touch panel 41, a keyboard 42, and a scanner 43. The operation unit 40 receives operations performed by an operator (store clerk) and transmits operation details to the control unit 10. The touch panel 41 is stacked on the store display panel 31. The keyboard 42 is provided on the front side of the upper surface of the housing 2 of the POS terminal device 1. The scanner 43 is used for reading a code such as a barcode attached to a product.

  The control unit 10 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit), a ROM (Read Only Memory), a RAM (Random Access Memory) (all not shown), and the like. The ROM stores various programs executed by the CPU and various data. The RAM temporarily stores data and programs when the CPU executes various programs. The CPU performs overall control of the above-described units (the storage unit 20, the display unit 30, and the operation unit 40) included in the POS terminal device 1 by developing and executing a program read from the ROM on the RAM.

  And the control part 10 functions as the number acquisition part 11, the area specific | specification part 12, the candidate presentation part 13, and the re-search part 14 when CPU runs the program memorize | stored in ROM.

  The number acquisition unit 11 accepts an input of a continuous number of digits equal to or less than the total number of digits of the region number as all digits or a part of the multi-digit region number assigned to each region, and inputs the number as an input value And the input value is output. Specifically, the area code includes a postal code, a telephone area code, a city code, and the like.

  When a postal code is used as the area code, the number acquisition unit 11 receives and outputs an input of a number that is continuous by all digits of the postal code, that is, seven digits or less. In this embodiment, the number of digits accepted as a postal code will be described as 7 digits or 3 digits.

  The postal code was 3 or 5 digits before being changed to the current 7 digit number in 1998. Also, there are many areas where the first three digits did not change before and after the postal code change. For this reason, in all seven digits, the lower four digits are often less recognized than the first three digits. For this reason, if there is an error in the postal code written on the courier tag, the last four digits are often incorrect.

  When the number of digits of the input value is equivalent to the total number of digits of the area number, the area specifying unit 12 determines the area number corresponding to the input value based on the area identification information stored in association with the area number and the area name. Get one region name associated with, and output it.

  Here, the storage unit 20 stores the above-described area identification information. The storage unit 20 is realized by an HDD (Hard Disk Drive) or the like. The storage unit 20 stores various information used by the POS terminal device 1. In the present embodiment, the storage unit 20 is described as being provided in the POS terminal device 1. However, in the implementation, an external storage device that can be referred to by the POS terminal device 1 stores the area identification information. Good.

  The storage unit 20 includes a database, and stores a table (region identification information table) in which the region identification information is stored in the database. The region identification information table has, for example, a column of a region number (postal code or telephone number) and a column of a region name. Therefore, the area identification information table stores area numbers and area names in association with each other.

  Here, the region name column need not be single, and the region identification information table may have a plurality of region name columns. For example, in this embodiment, names of a plurality of levels (regions, prefectures, and municipalities) with overlapping ranges are set for the area number. In the area identification information table, it goes without saying that a column for recording the ID of each record registered in the table may be provided separately from the area number column.

  When using a zip code as the area number, the area specifying unit 12 refers to the area identification information table when the number acquisition unit 11 outputs a 7-digit number, and if there is a zip code that matches the number, One region name associated with this is output.

  When the number of digits of the input value is less than the total number of digits of the area number, the candidate presentation unit 13 obtains one or more area names associated with the area number including the input value based on the area identification information, Output this.

  When the postal code is used as the area number, the candidate presenting unit 13 refers to the area identification information table when the number acquiring unit 11 outputs a 3-digit number, and the postal code whose upper 3 digits match the number. If there is, one or more regional names associated therewith are output.

  When the number of digits of the input value is equivalent to the total number of digits of the area number and the area specifying unit 12 has not obtained the area corresponding to the input value, the re-search unit 14 sets the lower digit of the input value to one or more digits. The remaining part is passed to the candidate presentation unit 13 as a re-input value, and the candidate presentation unit 13 is made to obtain the area name.

  When the postal code is used as the area number, the re-search unit 14 operates when the number acquisition unit 11 outputs a 7-digit number and the area specifying unit 12 does not output the area name. The re-search unit 14 processes the 7-digit number output from the number acquisition unit 11 to the remaining upper 3 digits by excluding the lower 4 digits, and passes the upper 3 digits to the candidate presentation unit 13. The candidate presentation unit 13 is made to perform the above-described operation again (re-search). That is, the candidate presenting unit 13 refers to the region identification information table, and if there is a zip code whose upper three digits match the three-digit number received from the re-search unit 14, one or more regions associated therewith Output the name.

FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of the registration screen Sc0. The registration screen Sc0 is a screen displayed on the store display panel 31 when the POS terminal device 1 is in a state of waiting for various operations such as code reading by the scanner 43. While the registration screen Sc0 is displayed, for example, the scanner 43 reads the barcode displayed on the courier tag, and the display on the store display panel 31 is changed to the courier reception screen Sc1. Here, the scanner 43 functions as a reception unit.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of the home delivery acceptance screen Sc1. The courier reception screen Sc1 is a screen displayed by the store display panel 31. The home delivery reception screen Sc1 includes a flight type selection unit 51, a delivery destination selection unit 52, a size selection unit 53, and the like.

  The delivery destination selection unit 52 receives an operation for selecting a delivery destination area via the touch panel 41. The region is related to the delivery date and fare. The region is selected from a zip code, a map, or a telephone number.

  In the case of selection from a zip code, it is assumed that the control unit 10 receives an input of a number of 3 to 7 digits, and an area associated with the zip code corresponding to the number is selected. When the “select from zip code” button 52a is pressed on the courier reception screen Sc1, the control unit 10 displays the zip code input screen Sc2.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of the postal code input screen Sc2. The postal code input screen Sc2 is a pop-up screen, and is displayed so as to overlap the courier reception screen Sc1. The postal code input screen Sc2 has a numeric key 61 of 1 to 9, 0, and 00, a clear key 62, a registration key 63, and an input number display field 64. When a 7-digit number is input on the screen Sc2 and an area number matching the number exists in the area identification information table, the area name for the input value is uniquely specified, and the postal code input screen Sc2 is closed. Is returned to the home delivery acceptance screen Sc1. FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating a delivery destination area determination state in an example of the home delivery reception screen Sc1.

  On the other hand, in the postal code input screen Sc2 shown in FIG. 5, when a 3-digit number is input, and a 7-digit number is input, there is no area number matching the number in the area identification information table. In some cases, a municipality selection screen Sc3 is displayed instead of the postal code input screen Sc2.

  FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating an example of the municipality selection screen Sc3. The municipality selection screen Sc3 is a pop-up screen, and is displayed so as to overlap the courier reception screen Sc1.

  The municipality selection screen Sc3 has an upper three-digit display field 71, a locality display field 72, a prefecture display field 73, a municipality selection button 74, and the like. The upper three-digit display field 71 displays the upper three digits of the postal code received on the postal code input screen Sc2.

  In the local display column 72 and the prefecture display column 73, the local name and the prefecture name associated with the postal code received on the postal code input screen Sc2 in the region identification information table are displayed. Then, the name of the municipality associated with the postal code received on the postal code input screen Sc2 in the area identification information table is displayed as a selectable municipality button 74 in a selectable manner.

  The municipality selection button 74 accepts a municipality selection operation via the touch panel 41. When any one of the municipalities selection buttons 74 is operated, that is, when a municipality is selected, the municipality selection screen Sc3 is closed, and the delivery service reception screen Sc1 in the delivery destination area determination state (see FIG. 6). Is displayed.

  When the home delivery acceptance screen Sc1 is in the delivery destination area determination state, the size selection unit 53 can be operated. The size selection unit 53 accepts a selection operation for the size classification of the package via the touch panel 41. As the size classification of the luggage, the larger one of the classifications corresponding to the size or weight of the luggage is selected. The size classification of luggage is related to the fare.

  When the size category is selected, a delivery date and time designation screen Sc4 appears. FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating an example of the delivery date and time designation screen Sc4. The screen Sc4 is a pop-up screen, and is displayed so as to overlap the courier reception screen Sc1.

  On the delivery date and time designation screen Sc4, a delivery time zone is displayed as a time zone button 81 so as to be selectable from a plurality of types. When any of the time zone buttons 81 is operated, that is, when a delivery time zone is selected, a “delivery date” and a “delivery time zone” are determined, and acceptance of the home delivery service is completed. Then, the delivery date and time designation screen Sc4 is closed, and the home delivery acceptance screen Sc1 in a reception completion state is displayed.

  FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating a reception completion state in an example of the home delivery reception screen Sc1. The home delivery acceptance screen Sc1 in this state has a confirmation button 91. When the confirmation button 91 is operated, the courier fee is registered as a payment target of the customer, and a registration screen Sc0 after registration is displayed. FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating an example of a registration screen Sc0 after home delivery registration.

  In addition, in the courier service acceptance screen Sc1 shown in FIG. 4, in the case of selection from the map (by pressing the button 52b), the local name or prefecture name shown together with the map image is selected, and the city displayed by the selection is displayed. Select a region so that the range is gradually narrowed from a wide area, such as selecting from a list of municipalities.

  In addition, in the courier service acceptance screen Sc1 shown in FIG. 4, in the case of selection from a telephone number (by pressing the button 52c), an input of a 6-digit number in which an area code and a city code are consecutive is received. Suppose that the region associated with the telephone number corresponding to is selected. In this case, it is close to the case where the postal code is used as the area number described above, and the area name corresponding to the input value is obtained by referring to the table stored in association with the telephone number and area name as the area number. .

  The identification of the area name from the area number in the courier service receiving operation performed as described above will be described below. FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing the flow of the area name assigning process from the area number. In the present embodiment, a case where a zip code is used as the area code will be described. The control unit 10 executes this process in accordance with the display of the postal code input screen Sc2 (see FIG. 5).

  If the touch panel 41 or the keyboard 42 outputs a signal indicating the number input while the store display panel 31 is displaying the zip code input screen Sc2, the number acquisition unit 11 of the control unit 10 receives the output, and the zip code is received. Is input (step S1), and the postal code number (input value) is output.

  Subsequently, the control unit 10 determines whether or not the input value is 7 digits (step S2). When the number is 7 digits (Yes in step S2), the area specifying unit 12 of the control unit 10 matches the input value from the area number column (postal code column) of each record registered in the area identification information table. The number to be searched is searched (step S3).

  If there is a number that matches the input value in the search in step S3, that is, if there is a match (Yes in step S4), the region specifying unit 12 determines the region name of the record whose postal code column value matches the input value. Get the column value and print it. Then, the control unit 10 causes the store display panel 31 to display the delivery service reception screen Sc1 (see FIG. 6) in the delivery destination area determination state (step S5). In the delivery destination selection section 52 at this time, a zip code, a prefecture and a city are displayed. And the control part 10 complete | finishes this process.

  In step S2, when the input value is 3 digits instead of 7 digits, the candidate presenting unit 13 of the control unit 10 refers to the region identification information table, and the upper 3 digits of the region number column (zip code column) are The record that matches the input value is searched (step S6).

  In the search in step S6, if there is a record in which the first three digits of the zip code match the input value, that is, if there is a record (Yes in step S7), the candidate presentation unit 13 inputs the first three digits of the zip code. The value of the region name column of one or more records that match the value is obtained and output. And the control part 10 displays the municipality selection screen Sc3 (refer FIG. 7) on the display panel 31 for shops. At this time, the upper three digits display field 71 displays the upper three digits of the postal code. Then, one or more municipality selection buttons 74 are displayed, and the value of the area name column obtained by the candidate presentation unit 13 is displayed (step S8).

  When the touch panel 41 outputs a signal indicating that any one of the municipality selection buttons 74 has been operated while the municipality selection screen Sc3 is being displayed, the control unit 10 selects the selected municipality selection button 74. An area name assigned to, and a courier reception screen Sc1 (delivery destination area determination state, see FIG. 6) in which the area name is displayed on the delivery destination selection unit 52 is displayed on the store display panel 31 (step S9). This process is terminated.

  In step S4, when there is no corresponding (No in step S4), that is, when there is no postal code record that matches the 7-digit input value in the area identification information table, the re-search unit 14 operates. The re-search unit 14 processes only the upper 3 digits excluding the lower 4 digits from all 7 digits obtained by the number acquisition unit 11 to obtain a re-input value, and passes the re-input value to the candidate presentation unit 13. . The candidate presenting unit 13 refers to the region identification information table and searches for a record in which the first three digits of the region number column (postal code column) match the re-input value (step S6).

  In step S7, if not applicable (No in step S7), that is, if there is no postal code record including a three-digit input value in the area identification information table, the control unit 10 returns an error display ( Step S10), the process ends.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, when the area name is not assigned by the 7-digit zip code search, the search is automatically performed by switching to the zip code search by the upper 3 digits. Candidates can be presented. According to this, even if the last 4 digits of the 7-digit zip code written on the tag include an error, the area corresponding to the upper 3 digits can be extracted and presented in a selectable manner. Therefore, it is possible to save the so-called twice trouble that the store clerk re-enters the same number as the first three digits of the seven-digit zip code once entered. As a result, the time required to complete acceptance of the courier service is not redundant due to an error in the tag. In other words, it can be said that the average required time for receiving a courier can be shortened. Therefore, according to the present embodiment, customer satisfaction can be improved.

  Next, a modification of the above embodiment will be described. In the above embodiment, the postal code is used as the area code. However, the same effect can be obtained when the telephone number is used as the area code instead of the postal code.

  When the button 52c described as “selection from telephone number” of the delivery destination selection unit 52 is pressed on the delivery service acceptance screen Sc1 of FIG. 4, the number acquisition unit 11 displays the area code and the city code. A continuous 6-digit number input is received and used as an input value, and the area specifying unit 12 obtains an area name corresponding to the input value with reference to a table in which telephone numbers and area names are stored in association with each other.

  If there is no record in the table that records telephone numbers that match all six digits of the input value, the re-search unit 14 sets the re-input value excluding the last one digit of the input value and presents the re-input value as a candidate. Pass to part 13. The candidate presenting unit 13 lists one or more regional names associated with the telephone number including the re-input value in the upper digit and presents it as a candidate.

  As described above, according to this modified example, even when an area is specified by a telephone number instead of a zip code, a re-search can be performed as in the above embodiment. That is, if there is an error in the last digits of the local number of the telephone number written on the tag, for example, it is possible to automatically list and present a region with a similar local number. Therefore, in this modified example, it is possible to improve the customer satisfaction by shortening the time required to complete the delivery of the courier, saving the trouble that the store clerk again inputs the telephone number in response to the error. .

  In the embodiment and the modification, the case where the re-input value is provided once by the re-search unit 14 is described. However, in the implementation, the re-input value may be provided multiple times by the re-search unit. Good. That is, when a candidate cannot be presented by re-search, the re-search unit processes the re-input value excluding the lower digits of the re-input value, performs re-search by the re-re-input value, and realizes candidate presentation You may do it.

  Further, in the embodiment and the modification, the POS terminal device 1 (product information processing apparatus) has been described as an example of the home delivery accepting device, but the home delivery accepting device may be a general PC.

  Further, in the embodiment and the modified example, the example in which the scanner 43 realizes the reception unit has been described.
