Then, the control unit 28 generates a password (unlocking information) for unlocking the electric lock 34, which will be described later, and further generates a code in which predetermined information including the unlocking password is encrypted. That is, the control unit 28 functions as a generation unit that generates an unlocking password (unlocking information) for unlocking the electric lock 34 (locking unit).

Further, the control unit 28 has a database or the like for managing the usage status of the locker box 32. The control unit 28 updates the management information such as this database as necessary. That is, the control unit 28 functions as a management unit that manages the usage status of each of the plurality of locker boxes. The usage status is the availability status of reservations and lockers, and may be managed in consideration of future usage forecasts and reservation status. The management unit may be installed outside the locker device 1 to manage a plurality of locker devices 1.

The locker unit 3 includes a plurality of locker boxes 32. Further, the locker portion 3 is provided with a buzzer 31. The buzzer 31 emits a warning sound or the like based on an instruction from the control unit 28 when a predetermined operation is performed in a predetermined state of the locker box 32 belonging to the locker unit 3. The buzzer 31 is not limited to the locker unit 3 units, but may be provided in the locker box 32 units.

As is well known, the locker box 32 is provided so that the door can be opened and closed. The door is provided with a handle or the like. Further, the locker box 32 includes a lock portion 33 as shown in FIG. The lock portion 33 is a mechanism for locking and unlocking the door, and includes an electric lock 34, a door open / close switch 35, a push button switch 36, and a lamp 37.

The electric lock 34 is a mechanism for restricting the opening and closing of the door, and is based on the state of the door opening / closing switch 35 and the push button switch 36, or in response to an instruction from the centralized control device 2 (control unit 28). Lock or unlock. The locker box 32 can be locked and unlocked by the electric lock 34. That is, the electric lock 34 functions as a locking unit for locking and unlocking the locker box 32.

The door open / close switch 35 is a switch (SW) for determining the open / closed state of the door, and can be configured by, for example, a micro switch provided on the electric lock 34. When the door open / close switch 35 is turned ON / OFF, information indicating that the door open / close switch 35 is turned ON / OFF is output to the control unit 28.

The push button switch 36 is a button type switch (SW) that is pressed when the door is temporarily locked in a closed state, and when pressed, a signal is output to notify the control unit 28 that the push button switch 36 has been pressed.

The lamp 37 is a display means for indicating the locked state of the locker box 32. As will be described later, the lamp operates in a state in which the locker box 32 is turned off, blinking, or lit according to each of the unlocked state, the temporarily locked state, and the main locked state.

The member service management system 6 is a system that performs member registration, management of registered members, and predetermined services for using a specific function when using the locker device 1, and is installed in a facility of a predetermined business operator. Will be done. In this embodiment, a service for mainly using the porter service will be described.

The user terminal 40 is a terminal for the user 4 to access the member service operated in the member service management system 6. Further, the user terminal 40 has a function (camera function, scanning function, etc.) of reading the code printed on the receipt output from the locker device 1. The user terminal 40 is composed of a mobile terminal such as a smartphone, for example.

The trader terminal 50 is a terminal for a pick-up person (collector) 5 of a business operator who provides a porter service business to access a member service (porter service) operated in the member service management system 6. Further, the trader terminal 50 has a function (display means and the like) for causing the locker device 1 to read the code received by the member service management system 6. The trader terminal 50 is composed of a mobile terminal such as a smartphone.

Next, the operation of the rocker system 100 having the above-described configuration will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4. FIG. 3 is a sequence diagram of operations from deposit to the porter service to completion of pick-up. In FIGS. 3 and 4, the member service management system 6 is abbreviated as service SYS.

First, the user 4 installs an application dedicated to the porter service on the user terminal 40 (step S101). Further, the collector 5 of the porter service installs the collection application on the trader terminal 50 (step S102). The above steps need only be performed once, and will be executed from step S103 from the next time onward.

Next, the user 4 selects porter service deposit from the operation menu or the like displayed on the operation display unit 21 (step S103). Then, among the locker devices 1 for which the porter service can be used, the door of any locker box 32 is opened, luggage is stored, and the door is closed. Then, the push button switch 36 is pressed to temporarily lock the locker, and the usage fee for the locker device 1 is paid (step S104). Payment may be made by electronic money using an IC card reader / writer 23, or by cash using a bill processing unit 25 or a coin processing unit 26.

When the payment of the usage fee is completed, the locker box 32 is fully locked. Then, the control unit 28 generates an unlocking password for collection, and generates a code in which the password and predetermined information are encrypted. Then, the generated encryption code is issued as a receipt from the printer 24 (step S105). With this encryption code, the information before encoding cannot be obtained without using the decryption key, and even if it is read by a reading application or the like that does not have the decryption key, the above unlocking password cannot be obtained. It is a thing. That is, the user 4 cannot unlock the locker box 32 with the encryption code. In the present embodiment, only the member service management system 6 has the decryption key of the encryption code.

Next, the user 4 reads the encryption code printed on the receipt issued by the locker device 1 (step S106). The reading method may be to take a picture of the code or scan it. Alternatively, the code may be encoded in a reproducible manner. The reading in this step is not for decrypting the encryption code and extracting the information, but for converting the encryption code on the receipt into electronic data.

Then, the user inputs the delivery destination (designated place) into the application (step S107). Examples of the delivery destination include accommodation facilities such as the hotel 7 shown in FIG. Then, the operation of requesting the porter service from the application is performed (step S108). Then, the information indicating the porter service request is transmitted to the service SYS6 (step S109). The information indicating this porter service request includes the above-mentioned encryption code and delivery address.

Next, the service SYS6 receives the information indicating the porter service request transmitted from the user terminal 40 and accepts the request (step S110). Then, the encrypted code included in the information indicating the porter service request is decrypted (step S111). Then, a pickup instruction is output to the trader terminal 50 (step S112). The collection instruction includes the unlocking password decrypted in step S111, the position of the collection destination locker device 1, the number of the locker box 32, the package number, and the delivery destination information.

Here, the unlocking password may be coded into a QR code (registered trademark) or the like and included in the collection instruction. The baggage number is an identification number of the baggage deposited by using the porter service in the locker device 1.

When the trader terminal 50 receives the pickup instruction, the collector 5 heads to the locker device 1 indicated by the pickup instruction and performs a pick-up operation (steps S113 and S114). Specifically, the porter service is selected from the operation menu or the like displayed on the operation display unit 21, and the unlocking password is input. Then, the usage fee of the locker device 1 in the porter service is paid. Payment may be electronic money or cash.

The usage fee paid here is a usage fee paid by the collector 5 to the business operator who installs and operates the locker device 1, and has a different character from the usage fee paid by the user in step S104. For example, assuming that the porter service usage fee paid by the porter service user 4 (a fee different from the usage fee of the locker device 1) is 1000 yen, for example, 200 yen is paid by the collector (porter service operator). By paying as a locker usage fee, it can be used as income when a business operator who installs and operates the locker device 1 adds a porter service function to the locker device 1.

When the usage fee is paid, a pick-up receipt is issued, the locker box 32 is unlocked, and the door is opened. Then, a pick-up receipt is issued from the printer 24, and the collector 5 picks up the baggage in the locker box 32 (end of deposit, step S115). On the issued receipt, a code indicating information that can identify the package to be collected, such as a package number, is printed as information indicating that the package has been collected from the locker box 32.

Next, the trader terminal 50 reads the code printed on the issued pick-up receipt (step S116). Then, at the trader terminal 50, the collector 5 performs a baggage collection completion operation (step S117). Then, the information indicating the completion of the parcel collection is transmitted from the trader terminal 50 to the service SYS6 (step S118).

Next, in the service SYS6, the information indicating the completion of baggage collection transmitted from the trader terminal 50 is collated with the instruction content (locker at the collection destination, baggage number, etc.) for which the collection instruction was given in step S112 (step S119). .. If there is no problem as a result of collation, a notification of completion of baggage collection is transmitted to the user terminal 40 (step S120). If there is a problem as a result of collation, an error message or the like may be notified to the administrator of the trader terminal 50 or the service SYS6.

As is clear from the above description, the user terminal 40 functions as a first terminal device into which the encrypted information output by the locker device is input. The service SYS6 functions as an information processing device that acquires encrypted information from the first terminal device and decrypts the encrypted information. The trader terminal 50 functions as a second terminal device that acquires unlocking information decoded from the information processing device.

FIG. 4 is a sequence diagram of operations from package delivery to delivery completion. That is, it is a continuation of the operation of FIG. In FIG. 4, since the package is taken out from the locker device 1, it is not displayed, and instead, the delivery destination of the hotel 7 or the like is displayed.

First, the collector 5 delivers the picked-up package to the delivery destination (step S121). Then, the package is delivered to the delivery destination (step S122). At this time, a pick-up receipt may be attached to the luggage. By attaching a pick-up receipt, it becomes easy to identify the package at the delivery destination. When the delivery is completed, the trader terminal 50 performs a delivery completion operation by the collector 5 (step S123). Then, the information indicating the completion of delivery is transmitted from the trader terminal 50 to the service SYS6 (step S124).

Next, in the service SYS6, the information indicating the completion of delivery transmitted from the trader terminal 50 is collated with the instruction content (delivery destination information) for which the pickup instruction was given in step S112 (step S125). If there is no problem as a result of the collation, a package delivery completion notification is transmitted to the user terminal 40 (step S126). If there is a problem as a result of collation, an error message or the like may be notified to the administrator of the trader terminal 50 or the service SYS6. Further, the porter service usage fee may be charged to the user when the package delivery completion notification is transmitted to the user terminal 40. Billing can be performed from the credit card or the like registered when the member is registered in the member service management system 6.

Next, a flowchart of the operation of the locker device 1 when the sequence shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 is executed will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6. FIG. 5 is a flowchart at the time of deposit. First, the user 4 selects porter service deposit in the operation menu displayed on the operation display unit 21 (step S201). That is, the operation display unit 21 functions as a selection unit for selecting the porter service. Then, an empty locker box 32 (empty box) is selected, luggage such as baggage is stored (step S202), and a locking operation is performed (step S203).

Here, the locker device 1 of the present embodiment can also be used as a normal coin locker when porter service deposit is not selected in the operation menu displayed on the operation display unit 21. When used as a normal coin locker, instead of the encryption code described later, the unlocking password coded without being encrypted is printed on the receipt. Therefore, the user 4 can unlock the locker box 32 with a receipt printed with a coded unlocking password. That is, in the operation menu displayed on the operation display unit 21, either the unlocking password or the encryption code is selected depending on whether the porter service deposit is selected.

The locking operation refers to an operation such as closing the door of the locker box 32 containing the luggage and pressing the push button switch 36. If these operations are not performed (no operation in step S203), the control unit 28 determines whether or not a predetermined predetermined time has elapsed (step S204), and as a result of the determination in step S204, the predetermined time has elapsed. If not, the process returns to step S202 (step S204: N), and if the predetermined time has elapsed, the process returns to step S201 (step S204: Y). That is, when a predetermined time elapses, the operation is stopped and the initial state is restored.

When the locking operation is performed in step S203 (step S203: locking), the lamp is temporarily locked, and the control unit 28 blinks the lamp 37 (step S205). Then, the user 4 is made to confirm the position of the locker box 32 accommodating the luggage (step S206). As a confirmation method, for example, the control unit 28 may display an image of the locker device 1 on the operation display unit 21 so that the position of the temporarily locked locker box 32 is displayed by blinking or colored in a different color. it can. Alternatively, the control unit 28 may confirm by displaying the number (box number) assigned to the locker box 32 temporarily locked on the operation display unit 21. For confirmation, for example, buttons such as "OK" and "NG" may be displayed on the operation display unit 21 and operated by the user 4.

As a result of confirming the position of the temporarily locked locker box 32, if the "NG" button is operated (step S206: NG), the control unit 28 determines that some abnormality has occurred and temporarily locks the locker box 32. Unlock and return to step S201 (step S207). When unlocked, the lamp 37 is also turned off.

As a result of confirming the position of the temporarily locked locker box 32, if the "OK" button is operated (step S206: OK), the control unit 28 displays on the operation display unit 21 to pay the usage fee of the locker device 1. (Step S208). Payment of the usage fee may be electronic money or cash as described above.

Next, a request ID, an unlocking password for collection, a package number, and the like are generated, and an encrypted QR code (registered trademark) including a locker ID and a box number is used (step S209). That is, it generates an encryption code. That is, the encryption code is information based on the unlocking information and becomes the encryption information. Here, the request ID is a unique ID given for each request of the porter service. The locker ID is information indicating the position of the locker device 1 that collects the porter service.

Then, the control unit 28 causes the printer 24 to issue a receipt on which the encryption code is printed (step S210). That is, the printer 24 functions as an output unit that outputs information based on the unlocking information. Then, the control unit 28 finally locks the temporarily locked locker box 32 (step S211). The lamp 37 shifts from blinking to lighting. Then, the deposit is completed (step S212). At this time, the operation display unit 21 may display that the deposit has been completed.

Next, a flowchart at the time of picking up will be described with reference to FIG. First, the collector 5 selects the porter service take-back in the operation menu displayed on the operation display unit 21 (step S301). Then, the collector 5 inputs the unlocking password (step S302). As a method of inputting the unlocking password, the unlocking password may be a code such as a QR code (registered trademark) and read from the code reader 22, or a number or the like indicating the unlocking password may be directly displayed on the operation display unit. You may input from 21. That is, the code reader 22 and the operation display unit 21 function as an input unit for inputting the unlocking password (unlocking information) decrypted from the encrypted information.

Next, the control unit 28 collates the entered unlocking password (step S303). The unlocking password generated in step S209 described above is stored in the centralized control device 2, and the control unit 28 collates the stored unlocking password with the input unlocking password. .. If the unlocking passwords do not match as a result of collation (step S303: NG), the control unit 28 displays an error message on the operation display unit 21 and returns to step S301 (step S304).

If the unlocking passwords match as a result of collation (step S303: OK), the control unit 28 causes the operation display unit 21 to display the usage fee of the locker device 1 (step S208). The usage fee may be paid by electronic money using the IC card reader / writer 23 as described above, or by cash using the bill processing unit 25 or the coin processing unit 26. The usage fee in this step is the usage fee for the business operator who installs and operates the locker device 1 from the collector 5 described in step S114. That is, the IC card reader / writer 23, the bill processing unit 25, and the coin processing unit 26 function as a collecting unit for collecting the usage fee of the locker box in the porter service.

Next, a pick-up ID is generated, and the locker ID, the box number, and the package number are included in the QR code (registered trademark) (step S306). That is, a code of information indicating that the package has been picked up from the locker box 32 is generated. Here, the pick-up ID is a unique ID given for each pick-up operation of the porter service. The code generated in this step does not need to be encrypted.

Then, the control unit 28 causes the printer 24 to issue a receipt on which the above code is printed (step S307). The code generated in step S306 is also printed on this receipt. Then, the control unit 28 unlocks the corresponding locker box 32 and blinks the lamp 37 (step S308). Then, the luggage stored in the locker box 32 is picked up, and the pick-up is completed (step S309). When the pick-up is completed, the lamp 37 is turned off.

According to the present embodiment, the locker device 1 provided with a plurality of locker boxes 32 and in which luggage is stored in the locker box 32 locks and unlocks the locker box 32, and unlocks the electric lock 34 and the electric lock 34. It includes a control unit 28 that generates an unlocking password for unlocking, and a printer 24 that prints and outputs a code including the unlocking password. Then, the control unit 28 generates an encryption code in which the unlocking password is encrypted, and in the printer 24, when the porter service is selected in the operation display unit 21, the encryption code is selected and printed. If the porter service is not selected on the operation display unit 21, the one with the unlocking password coded is selected and printed.

By doing so, the control unit 28 generates an encryption code in which the unlocking password is encrypted, so that the password for the porter service collector 5 can be generated. Further, since it is encrypted, even the user 4 cannot unlock it, so that the collector 5 can surely unlock it. Further, since either the unlocking password or the encryption code is selected and output, it can be used as a conventional locker, and a locker dedicated to the porter service becomes unnecessary. Further, since the locker device 1 does not need to be connected to the communication line, the communication cost can be suppressed, and the control of the locker device 1 can be simplified.

Further, by providing the locker device 1 with a porter service function, the operating rate of the locker box 32 can be increased. As described above, in the porter service, the occupancy time of the locker box 32 is relatively short because the collector 5 comes to pick up the luggage when the user 4 deposits the luggage and makes a request. Therefore, the operating rate of the locker box 32 increases.

Further, by providing the locker device 1 with the function of the porter service as in the present embodiment, the store space becomes unnecessary and the reception can be performed 24 hours a day. Further, by switching the display of the operation display unit 21 and the display of the application, it becomes easy to support multiple languages.

Further, the locker device 1 causes the operation display unit 21 or the code reader 22 to input the unlocking password decrypted from the encryption code, and the control unit 28 receives the unlocking password from the operation display unit 21 or the code reader 22. Since the payment of the usage fee of the locker box 32 in the porter service is requested at the time of input, the consideration for the business operator who installs and operates the locker device 1 can be collected. Therefore, the business operator who installs and operates the locker device 1 can obtain new income by giving the locker device 1 a porter service function.

Further, since the printing means for issuing the receipt, that is, the printer 24 is provided, the encryption code can be printed and output on the receipt. That is, the present invention can be applied to any locker device 1 that already has a function of printing a receipt. Therefore, it is possible to develop a wide range of porter services at lower cost.

Further, since the encryption code is, for example, an encrypted QR code (registered trademark), it can be read by a user terminal 40 such as a smartphone, and the user terminal 40 can easily obtain the encryption code. It can be transmitted to the member service management system 6.

In the above-described embodiment, the usage fee is collected from the collector 5 to the business operator who installs and operates the locker device 1, but it is not necessary to collect the usage fee. If not, the step of collecting the usage fee from the collector 5 can be omitted.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the printer 24 has been described as the output unit, but the present invention is not limited to this.
