When there is no input of the date and time for storing the package, the date and time when the search request is transmitted to the server device 10 is specified as the date and time for storing the package and is included in the search request. When no priority item is input in the priority item input area 223, it is handled that a predetermined predetermined priority item is selected as the first priority item. In addition, when the custody location is not input on the fare information search screen, the communication unit 211 of the customer side terminal device 20 specifies the location acquired using the location information acquisition function of the customer side terminal device 20 as the custody location, It may be included in the search request.

  Next, the trader extracting unit 112 specifies a company identifier that satisfies the transportation condition based on the company information 126 (step S12). Specifically, when the transport condition is input in the transport condition input area 222, the contractor extraction unit 112, the service identifier corresponding to the input transport condition, and the payment method identifier corresponding to the input payment method The company information 126 is referred to and the company identifier associated with the combination of the service identifier and the payment method is specified. In addition, when there is no input of transportation conditions, it will be treated as if predetermined transportation conditions have been input.

  Next, the contractor extraction unit 112 extracts a delivery company belonging to the company specified by the company identifier specified in step S12 (step S13). Specifically, the trader extraction unit 112 refers to the collection / delivery time information 121 and the collection time information 122 using the company identifier specified in step S12, and extracts a trader identifier associated with the specified company identifier.

  Next, the conveyance attribute specific | specification part 113 specifies a conveyance attribute about each of the courier companies extracted by step S13 (step S14). The processing performed in this step will be described in detail later. As a result of the processing in this step, the transportation attributes of the fare, the estimated arrival date and time, and the address of the courier are specified for each of the courier companies extracted in step S13.

  Next, the candidate supplier specifying unit 114 specifies the candidate supplier and the display order based on the first priority item (step S15). The candidate supplier specifying unit 114 specifies a predetermined number of delivery companies as candidate suppliers from the order in which the transport attributes corresponding to the first priority are excellent, using the transport attributes specified in step S14. Moreover, the candidate supplier specific | specification part 114 specifies the order that the conveyance attribute was excellent about a candidate supplier as a display order. Thereafter, the candidate supplier specifying unit 114 proceeds with the process to step S <b> 16 in FIG. 11.

  FIG. 11 is a flowchart (part 2) illustrating the flow of the transport information search process.

  Next, the candidate supplier specifying unit 114 determines whether or not there are a plurality of delivery companies having the same first priority (step S16). Specifically, the candidate supplier specifying unit 114, when there are a plurality of courier companies having the same transportation attribute corresponding to the first priority among the candidate suppliers specified in step S15, the first priority is It is determined that there are a plurality of common delivery companies. For example, the candidate supplier specifying unit 114 determines that there are a plurality of delivery companies having the same first priority when the first priority is a fare and there are a plurality of candidate dealers having the same fare.

  When the candidate supplier specifying unit 114 does not determine that there are a plurality of delivery companies having the same first priority (in the case of “NO” in step S16), the display information generating unit 115 is based on the display order specified in step S15. Then, display information indicating the candidate trader is generated in the search result display area 226 of the transport information search screen 220 (step S22). Specifically, the display information generation unit 115 provides a search result display area 226 on the transport information search screen 220, and generates display information in which the specified candidate contractor is displayed in the area according to the display order specified in step S15. . Thereafter, the display information generation unit 115 ends the process of this flowchart.

  FIG. 17 is a diagram illustrating an example of the transport information search screen 220 displaying the search result display area 226. The display information generation unit 115 sorts the candidate traders in the order in which the transportation attributes corresponding to the priority items are excellent, and generates display information to be displayed in the search result display area 226. For example, when the first priority is a fare, the display information generation unit 115 displays the candidate traders in the order of the lowest fare. When the first priority is the estimated arrival date and time, the courier companies are sorted and displayed in order of the estimated arrival date and time. If the first priority is the recent collection / delivery destination, the courier companies are sorted and displayed in order of proximity to the storage location.

  In the search result display area 226, the delivery company name of the delivery company specified as the candidate company, the collection / delivery destination store name, the collection / delivery destination telephone number, the collection / delivery time, the estimated arrival date and time, the fare, and the detailed check box Is displayed. The display information generation unit 115 refers to the collection / delivery time information 121 or the collection time information 122, calls the identified candidate company name as the delivery company name in the search result display area 226, and the branch / dealer name as the collection / delivery destination store name. Display information is generated so that the number is displayed on the telephone number of the collection and delivery destination.

  The display information generation unit 115 also displays a transport attribute that is information of the collection / delivery time, the scheduled arrival date and time, and the fare specified by the later-described fare acquisition process and estimated arrival date and time acquisition process as a search result display area 226. Display information is generated to be displayed on the screen.

  The detail check box is a check box for accepting a request to display a detail screen to each delivery company. When the check box receives a check input and the detail button 225 is selected, the screen transitions to the detail display screen 230.

  FIG. 18 is a diagram illustrating an example of the detail display screen 230. The detailed display screen 230 displays map information, detailed information about the delivery company selected in the search result display area 226, and a delivery application button.

  In the map information, a storage location and a location indicating the position of the delivery company selected in the search result display area 226 are displayed. The display information generation unit 115 displays the map display information stored in an area (not shown) of the storage unit 120, the address of the storage location included in the search request, and the delivery company information included in the collection / delivery time information 121 or the collection time information 122. Display information of map information is generated using the address. When a courier on the map is selected, a screen showing an access method from the storage location to the courier is displayed. The display information generation unit 115 acquires the access method from the custody location to the courier using a known technique, and generates a display screen. The access method acquisition method will not be described in detail here.

  The detailed information includes information such as the company name of the courier selected in the search result display area 226 and transportation attributes such as fare. Each detailed information includes a check box for accepting a home delivery application.

  The home delivery application button is a button for accepting a home delivery application. When a check is input to one check box among the courier companies displayed in the detailed information and the courier application button is selected, the display information generation unit 115 selects a courier application method (not shown). ) Is displayed. On the method selection screen, a home delivery application by telephone or a home delivery application can be selected.

  When the home delivery application by telephone is selected on the method selection screen, the telephone function of the customer terminal device 20 is activated.

Further, when the selected home delivery application method is transmitted to the server device 10 by the communication unit 211 of the customer side terminal device 20 on the method selection screen, the home delivery application unit 116 of the server device 10 sends to the specified home delivery company. Then, information indicating the delivery application is transmitted by the selected method, or a call is made to the delivery company.

  Returning to FIG. When candidate supplier specifying unit 114 determines that there are a plurality of delivery companies having the same first priority (in the case of “YES” in step S16), candidate supplier specifying unit 114 provides the delivery company having the same first priority. The display order is specified using the second priority item (step S17). When there are a plurality of delivery companies having a common transportation attribute corresponding to the first priority, there are a plurality of delivery companies having the same display order as a result. Therefore, the candidate trader specifying unit 114 refers to the transport attribute of the candidate trader having the same transport attribute corresponding to the first priority, and specifies the display order in the order that the transport attribute corresponding to the second priority is superior.

  For example, when the fare is input as the first priority and the estimated arrival date and time is input as the second priority, and a plurality of delivery companies having the same fare are identified as candidate contractors in step S16, it is as follows. The candidate supplier specifying unit 114 refers to the scheduled arrival date and time that is the second priority among the transportation attributes associated with the candidate operators having the same fare, and the candidate supplier having the same fare in order of the expected arrival date and time. Specify the display order of.

  Next, the candidate dealer specifying unit 114 determines whether or not there are a plurality of delivery companies having the same second priority among the candidate dealers whose display order has been specified in step S17 (step S18).

  If the candidate supplier specifying unit 114 does not determine that there are a plurality of delivery companies having the same second priority (“NO” in step S18), the display information generation unit 115 displays the delivery company in the search result display area 226. The displayed display information is generated (step S21). The display information generation unit 115 generates display information for displaying the candidate trader specified in step S15 in the search result display area 226 according to the display order specified in step S15 and step S17. Thereafter, the display information generation unit 115 ends the process of this flowchart.

  If the candidate supplier specifying unit 114 determines that there are a plurality of delivery companies having the same second priority (in the case of “YES” in step S18), the candidate supplier specifying unit 114 provides the delivery company having the same second priority. The display order is specified using the third priority item (step S19). Candidate supplier identification unit 114 refers to the transportation attributes of candidate dealers that have the same transportation attribute corresponding to the second priority item, and identifies the display order in the order that the transportation attribute corresponding to the third priority item is superior.

  Next, the display information generation unit 115 generates display information indicating the delivery agent in the search result display area 226 (step S20). The display information generation unit 115 generates display information for displaying the candidate trader specified in step S15 in the search result display area 226 according to the display order specified in step S15, step S17, and step S19. Thereafter, the display information generation unit 115 ends the process of this flowchart.

  It has already been described that on the transport information search screen 220, package information can be input for each of a plurality of packages desired for delivery. When package information relating to a plurality of packages is input on the transport information search screen 220, the processing of this flowchart is repeated for each package.

  According to the present embodiment, one or a plurality of delivery companies can be identified in the order of superiority to the priority that the customer wants to prioritize, and transportation attributes such as fare and estimated arrival date can be displayed in correspondence with the delivery company. Moreover, about the delivery company which has the common transportation attribute corresponding to a priority, a display order is determined and displayed based on a 2nd priority and a 3rd priority. Thereby, the customer can browse and compare information regarding the delivery company that excels in the desired priority, and can select a delivery service in accordance with the request.

  Next, the identification of the transport attribute shown in step S14 of FIG. 10 will be described. In this step, the transportation attribute specifying unit 113 performs a fare acquisition process, a scheduled arrival date acquisition process, and an address acquisition process described below for each of the courier companies extracted in step S13. Before starting these processes, the courier service provider identifier is extracted in step S13. The transport attribute specifying unit 113 sequentially specifies a trader identifier to be processed from the extracted trader trader identifiers, and performs the following three processes.

  FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing the flow of the fare acquisition process.

  First, the transport attribute specifying unit 113 specifies a section identifier based on information included in the search request (step S1411). Specifically, the transport attribute specifying unit 113 refers to the transport time information 123 using the custody location included in the search request and the delivery location, and associates the section with the corresponding section between the custody location and the delivery location. The specified section identifier is specified.

  Next, the conveyance attribute specific | specification part 113 specifies a period identifier based on the information contained in a search request (step S1412). The search request includes information for specifying the date and time of receipt, or the date and time when the search request is transmitted to the server device 10. The transport attribute specifying unit 113 specifies a period identifier of a period corresponding to the date and time in the transport time information 123.

  Next, the transport attribute specifying unit 113 specifies a package identifier based on information included in the search request (step S1413). Specifically, the transport attribute specifying unit 113 refers to the package information 124 using the size and weight of the package included in the search request, and is associated with the combination of the size and weight corresponding to the package. Identify the package identifier.

  Next, the transport attribute specifying unit 113 refers to the fare information 125, specifies the section identifier specified in step S1411, the period identifier specified in step S1412, the package identifier specified in step S1413, and before the start of this process. One or a plurality of records including the combination of the delivered delivery company's trader identifier is extracted (step S1414).

  Next, for each extracted record, the transportation attribute specifying unit 113 refers to the collection / delivery time information 121 and the collection time information 122 using the supplier identifier included in the record, and specifies a company identifier related to the supplier identifier ( Step S1415).

  Next, the conveyance attribute specific | specification part 113 specifies a discount rate for every extracted record (step S1416). In an area (not shown) of the storage unit 120, related information between a discount identifier for specifying a discount system and information indicating a state to which the discount system is applied is stored.

  For example, the storage unit 120 associates information indicating a state in which a plurality of pieces of package information are included in the search request and a discount identifier for specifying a discount system of “discount by a plurality of package delivery requests”. In addition, information indicating that the merchant identifier included in the record identified in step S1414 is in common with the merchant identifier included in the collection / delivery time information 121 is associated with the discount identifier identifying the discount system of “discount by bringing-in”. It has been. Further, information indicating a state in which the information indicating that the application is a round-trip application is included in the search request is associated with a discount identifier that specifies a discount system of “discount by round-trip home delivery request”.

  For each record extracted in step S1414, the transport attribute specifying unit 113 refers to the area using the information included in the search request and the information included in the record, and the discount of the discount system applied in the record Specify an identifier. Moreover, the conveyance attribute specific | specification part 113 specifies the discount rate with reference to the discount information 127 using the combination of a trader identifier and a discount identifier about each record.

  Next, for each record extracted in step S1414, the transport attribute specifying unit 113 multiplies the fare included in the record by the discount rate specified in step S1416 to obtain a discounted fare (step S1417). ). In addition, when the discount system memorize | stored in the memory | storage part 120 is not applied, the fare contained in the extracted record is specified. Then, the conveyance attribute specific | specification part 113 complete | finishes the process of this flowchart.

  FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing the flow of the estimated arrival date acquisition process. It has already been described that the trader identifier to be processed has been specified by the transport attribute specifying unit 113 before the start of this processing. The merchant identifier is either a merchant identifier that specifies a courier company that performs collection / delivery included in the collection / delivery time information 121 or a merchant identifier that identifies a courier company that performs collection / collection included in the collection time information 122. .

  First, the transport attribute identification unit 113 identifies the collection / delivery time using the collection / delivery time information 121 (step S1421). Specifically, the transport attribute specifying unit 113 is either the supplier identifier specified before the start of the process, the information specifying the custody date / time included in the search request, or the date / time when the search request is made. The collection / delivery time information 121 is referred to using certain date / time information. The transport attribute identification unit 113 refers to the collection / delivery time of the record including the identified supplier identifier, and identifies a collection / delivery time that is later than the time indicated by the date / time information and is closest to the date / time information.

  In addition, the conveyance attribute specific | specification part 113 may add the required time of a custody place and a delivery company to date information, and it may be set as new date information, and may specify a delivery time based on new date information. In addition, when the specified trader identifier is an identifier for specifying a delivery company that collects goods, since the trader identifier is not included in the collection / delivery time information 121, the process in this step is not performed.

  Next, the conveyance attribute specific | specification part 113 specifies collection time using the collection time information 122 (step S1422). The transport attribute specifying unit 113 refers to the collection time information 122 using the specified supplier identifier and the date / time information, and the time indicated by the date / time information is within the range of the reception time in relation to the specified supplier identifier.
