That is, when the user B uses the service to sell products to other delivery destinations, delivery arrangement is performed in the same procedure as described above, and the identifier 410 of the packing material 400 used for delivery is sent to the server 200. Identifier information about is transmitted. The update unit 221 of the server 200 updates the delivery destination information stored in the storage unit 230 in association with the identifier information regarding the identifier 410 to other delivery destination information. Then, the identifier information regarding the identifier 410 and other delivery destination information are transmitted from the transmission unit 212 of the server 200 to the delivery side 300. On the delivery side 300, when the identifier 410 is read, other delivery destination information is associated, and therefore the product is delivered to another delivery destination using the same packing material 400.

  As described above, according to the present invention, the delivery source information, the delivery destination information, and the product information are stored in association with the identifier information provided in the packaging material. Since the delivery side can deliver the product based on these pieces of information, the delivery source user does not need to prepare an invoice and is highly convenient. In addition, since the packing material is provided with an identifier, and the delivery destination information stored in association with the identifier information related to the identifier is updated and stored every time it is reused, delivery using the same packing material is possible. Become.

  On the delivery side 300, the packaging material 400 may be delivered using a predetermined invoice. That is, when the delivery destination information is acquired by the above-described processing, as shown in FIG. 2, the delivery form 420 including the delivery destination information may be attached to the packing material 400 to proceed with delivery. At this time, the invoice 420 is provided at a position different from the identifier 410 in the packaging material 400. The invoice 420 is preferably removable from the packing material 400. The invoice 420 as described above is used for only one delivery, and is discarded when one delivery is completed. On the other hand, the identifier 410 according to an aspect of the present invention has a great advantage in that it can be reused for a plurality of deliveries.

  In the above-described aspect, the product information and the delivery source information related to the product that the user A exhibits are received in advance by the receiving unit 211 of the server 200 and stored in the storage unit 230. In addition, when the delivery destination information is received by the receiving unit 211, a delivery request for the product is transmitted to the terminal device 100A of the delivery source user A. However, according to the present invention, the delivery source information and the product information may not be stored in the storage unit 230 in advance. That is, regardless of the timing at which the delivery source information and the delivery destination information are received by the server 200, the information may be received in association with the identifier information and associated with the identifier information. For example, the product information, the delivery source information, and the delivery destination information may be transmitted from the terminal device 100A of the product delivery source user A to the server 200 at the same timing together with the identifier of the packing material.

  Note that it may be determined before delivery whether the product 10 using the packaging material 400 selected by the delivery source user A can be delivered. The determination unit 222 of the server 200 determines whether or not the packaging material 400 used for delivery is suitable for delivery of the product 10 based on the identifier information transmitted from the terminal device 100A of the delivery source user A. This can be determined, for example, by comparing the size included in the packaging material information with the product name and size included in the product information. If the determination unit 222 determines that delivery is not possible, for example, as illustrated in FIG. 7, a pop-up notification 20 such as “cannot be used in this size” may be displayed on the display unit 150 of the terminal device 100A. In addition, as conditions used for determination, it is not restricted to the above size, You may be based on the price and weight contained in merchandise information. For example, a notification recommending a box instead of an envelope may be displayed according to the price. As a result, it is possible to provide the delivery source user A with information regarding more appropriate packaging materials.

  Further, according to the present invention, the packaging material 400 can be reused. Since the identifier information of the packaging material 400 delivered to the delivery destination user B is stored in the storage unit 230, the packaging material that can be used when the delivery destination user B serves as the delivery source and delivers the same product or a different product. The information regarding can be provided to the delivery destination. This will be described with reference to FIG.

  The storage unit 230 of the server 200 stores the delivery destination information to which the product is delivered using the packaging material 400 in association with the identifier information regarding the identifier 410 of the packaging material 400. Then, when the receiving unit 211 receives merchandise information related to other products using the delivery destination included in the delivery destination information as a delivery source, the determination unit 222 is stored in the storage unit 230 in association with the delivery source. Based on the identifier information, it is determined whether or not the packaging material considered to be present at the delivery source is suitable for delivery of the product. For example, as illustrated in FIG. 6A, it is assumed that the delivery setting of the product “jacket” is performed and the packaging material selection button 152 is selected in the terminal device 100B. Then, the determination unit 222 determines whether or not the packaging material corresponding to the identifier information associated with the user B corresponding to the terminal device 100B is suitable for delivery of the product “jacket”, and the determination result is the terminal device 100B. Sent to. Then, as shown in FIG. 6B, for example, a packing material selection screen and a list of delivery charges are displayed on the display unit 150B of the terminal device 100B.

  According to the present invention, information about which user has the packaging material at hand is updated and stored in the storage unit 230 in accordance with the return of the packaging material. Therefore, when a delivery arrangement for a product by a certain user is made, information about the packing material that can be delivered can be provided to the user. Therefore, the user can provide a system with higher usability without taking time to select packing materials.

  Note that the intention of the delivery destination user may be reflected in the selection of the packaging material used for the delivery of the product. That is, the information about the packaging material selected by the delivery source user is transmitted to the delivery destination user in advance before delivery, and is selected by the delivery source user only when the use of the packaging material is permitted by the delivery destination user. Packing materials may be used. This can be realized, for example, as follows.

  When receiving the identifier information from the terminal device 100A of the delivery source user A, the transmission unit 212 of the server 200 transmits the packaging material information associated with the identifier information to the terminal device 100B of the delivery destination user B. In the terminal device 100B of the delivery destination user B, there are a button for selecting whether or not delivery using the packaging material is permitted, and information on the packaging material selected by the delivery source user A (type, material, etc.). May be displayed. When a button for permitting delivery is displayed on the terminal device 100B of the delivery destination user B, information indicating that delivery of the product using the packaging material is permitted from the transmission unit 112 of the terminal device 100B to the server 200. Sent. Thereafter, information indicating that the delivery of the product is permitted is transmitted from the transmission unit 212 of the server 200 to the terminal device 100A of the delivery source user A. When information indicating that the delivery of the product using the packaging material selected by the delivery destination user A is not transmitted from the terminal device 100B, the selection of the packaging material is set to be impossible in the terminal device 100A. May be. This can be realized, for example, by a method in which the packing material is not displayed on the packing material selection screen or the selection of the packing material is set to be impossible.

  Thereby, since the intention of the delivery destination user who purchased goods can be reflected in delivery of goods, it is highly convenient also for delivery destination users. In addition, there is an advantage for the delivery source user that the impression of the delivery destination user is not lowered.

  Next, a control method according to the embodiment of the present invention described above will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 8 is a flowchart of the above-described control. First, prior to use of a service, for example, when registering for a service, user information including delivery destination information is transmitted from the terminal device 100B (step S11). Similarly, product information and delivery source information are transmitted from the terminal device 100A to the server 200 (step S12). As described above, the product information is information related to the product that the delivery source user A submits. The delivery source information is information necessary for delivery of the product, such as the address and name of the delivery source user A. Note that the product information and the delivery source information need not be transmitted at the same time. For example, the delivery source information may be transmitted in advance as user information at the time of registration of the service of the delivery source user A, and the product information may be transmitted to the server 200 each time a product is exhibited. When the delivery destination user B purchases a product, transaction information indicating that the product is to be purchased is transmitted from the terminal device 100B to the server 200 (step S13). When a plurality of delivery destinations are stored as the user information of the delivery destination user B, the delivery destination information may be transmitted together with the transaction information by selecting the delivery destination. Then, the identifier information of the packing material used for delivery is transmitted from the terminal device 100A to the server 200 (step S14). In the storage unit 230 of the server 200, at least delivery destination information is stored in association with identifier information (step S15). Then, the delivery destination information associated with the identifier information is transmitted from the server 200 to the delivery side 300 (step S16). The delivery side 300 receives the delivery destination information associated with the identifier information transmitted from the server 200 (step S17). Then, the delivery side 300 delivers the product to the delivery destination user A. When the delivery is completed, information indicating that the delivery is completed may be transmitted from the delivery side 300 to the server 200 (step S19), or may be transmitted from the terminal device 100B to the server 200 (step S18). .

  Thereafter, the user B becomes a delivery source and transmits other product information, other delivery destination information, and identifier information to the server 200 (step S20). Here, the identifier information transmitted from the terminal device 100B is the same as the identifier information delivered from the user of the terminal device 100A in step S13. That is, it means that the packaging material is reused by the user B. In the storage unit 230 of the server 200, the stored delivery destination information associated with the identifier information is updated and stored in another delivery destination transmitted from the terminal device 100B (step S22). Thereafter, other delivery destination information associated with the identifier information is transmitted from the server 200 to the delivery side 300 (step S23).

  In the above description, the delivery destination information associated with the identifier information is transmitted to the delivery side 300, and then the delivery arrangement is advanced on the delivery side 300 (that is, the identifier information of the packaging material is read). . However, the delivery arrangement may be advanced before the delivery destination information associated with the identifier information is transmitted to the delivery side 300. For example, an identifier provided in the packaging material in which the product is packed is read by the reading device 310 on the delivery side 300, and identifier information related to the identifier is transmitted to the server 200. Thereafter, the delivery destination information stored in the storage unit 230 of the server 200 in association with the identifier information may be transmitted to the delivery side 300. Thus, any delivery company can be used for delivery of the packaging material as long as the identifier can be read without limiting the delivery company. Therefore, the delivery source user has a wider choice of delivery companies and is more convenient.

  Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described, it goes without saying that the present invention is not limited to this. For example, in the above description, the packing material information, the delivery related information, and the like have been described as being stored in the storage unit 230 of the server 200. However, the various types of information may be stored as a database in a memory different from the server 200. . Moreover, a terminal device is not restricted to a smart phone. The terminal device may be any information processing device that can realize the functions described in the above embodiments. For example, a laptop computer, a mobile phone, a wearable terminal (glasses type, wristwatch type, headset) Type), or a desktop personal computer.

  Further, in the above description, the mode in which the delivery source user A selects the packaging material 400 of the product 10 after the product 10 is purchased has been described. However, the packaging material 400 used for delivery of the product 10 may be associated with the product 10 in advance. That is, the identifier information of the packaging material 400 used for the delivery of the product 10 may be stored in the product information associated with the user A stored in the storage unit 230 of the server 200. In that case, it is preferable that it is the packaging material determined by the determination unit 222 that the product can be delivered. Thereby, the effort of the delivery source user A at the time of delivery arrangement can be further reduced.

  In the above description, the mode in which the packaging material delivered to the delivery destination user B is reused by the delivery destination user B has been described. However, it is also conceivable that the packaging material is lent. Even in that case, since the delivery destination information and the delivery source information are associated with the identifier information, delivery can be performed without any problem.

  Also, the packaging material may be defined below as being used in the delivery system. That is, a packaging material having an identifier that is used in a delivery system and is readable by a predetermined device, and the delivery system stores the packaging material information related to the packaging material in association with the identifier information related to the identifier; , Product information relating to products delivered using packing materials, delivery destination information relating to delivery destinations, delivery source information relating to delivery sources, and a receiving unit that receives identifier information, and at least delivery destination information associated with identifier information An update unit to be stored in the storage unit, and a transmission unit that transmits at least delivery destination information associated with the identifier information to a delivery side that delivers a product delivered using the packing material, and an update unit If the delivery destination information and identifier information of the product delivered using the packaging material are received after the delivery of the product to the delivery destination is completed, The delivery destination information associated with the child information and stored in the storage unit is updated to other delivery destination information and stored in the storage unit, and the transmission unit delivers the other delivery destination information using the packing material. It may be used in a delivery system that transmits a product to be delivered to a delivery side.

  Each functional unit of the server 200 may be realized by a logic circuit (hardware) or a dedicated circuit formed in an integrated circuit (IC (Integrated Circuit) chip, LSI (Large Scale Integration)) or the like, or a CPU (Central It may be realized by software using a Processing Unit. Each functional unit may be realized by one or a plurality of integrated circuits, and the functions of the plurality of functional units may be realized by a single integrated circuit.
