Description

The present invention relates to a mobile terminal and a manifestation of intention sign, and more particularly to a mobile terminal and a manifestation of intention sign that can more reliably complete the delivery of a package even in the case of placement and delivery.

In recent years, in the home delivery service, the handling of the parcel when the parcel is delivered to the absence home has become a problem. In the past, the courier company left the absentee contact slip at the delivery destination where he was away, took the package home, and redelivered it at a later date during the time at home. Alternatively, in a housing complex or the like, a system has been provided in which the delivery is completed by temporarily depositing the parcel in the delivery box.

JP-A-2019-16157

However, in the conventional redelivery mechanism, the delivery person has to carry the cargo to the delivery destination many times until the recipient is at home, and the increase in the operating amount of the delivery vehicle increases the carbon dioxide emission amount and the delivery person. Invited an increase in the burden on the car. In addition, there is a problem that when depositing in a delivery box, if the delivery box is full, it cannot be deposited. For the delivery person, if the number of redelivery to the delivery destination increases, overtime work increases, the delivery becomes impatient, the motivation decreases, and the possibility of causing an accident during the delivery work increases, which causes labor management problems. Was there.
On the other hand, since the time when the package is delivered is not fixed, the recipient of the package needs to stay at home until the package is delivered, which causes a problem that the behavior is restricted. If you leave your luggage in a parcel delivery box or convenience store, it will take a lot of effort to wait for the received luggage to your home.

Furthermore, even if you are at home, you may not be able to receive the cargo directly from the courier even if the cargo is delivered, such as when you are gardening, taking a bath, on the phone, or when you cannot take your hands off due to housework. is there. Especially for women living alone, it may be a risk to receive the cargo delivered at night directly. In addition, when a highly contagious infectious disease is prevalent, receiving the package directly from the delivery person may increase the risk of infection. On the other hand, if the number of people who leave their luggage at the front door increases, it will indicate that they are away and the risk of burglary will increase.

By the way, the luggage delivered by the delivery person is not always valuable. Depending on the contents of the package, there is no problem even if the delivery person keeps it in front of the entrance while he is away and receives the package in front of the entrance when the recipient returns home, without giving it directly to the recipient. Also exists. Such luggage is not particularly valuable, and even if it is taken away by a third party, there is no particular problem.
In addition, even if the luggage is expensive or personally valuable, if it is left at home, it can be collected immediately even if it is left in front of the entrance, minimizing the risk of theft. It is possible to keep it to the limit. Furthermore, for a woman living alone, receiving a package directly from a stranger delivery company poses a security risk, but by using the delivery service, the delivery company can be used without facing the delivery company. You can receive your luggage with confidence.

For the above reasons, if the delivery is enabled, the frequency of redelivery will be reduced, the burden on the delivery person will be considerably reduced, and it will often be beneficial to the recipient. It can also contribute to reducing carbon dioxide emissions and combating global warming. However, when this placement is performed, there is a problem that the recipient cannot obtain the receipt sign.

An object of the present invention is to provide a system that replaces a receipt in delivery, to reduce the burden on the delivery person, and to provide convenience to the recipient.

It is a figure which shows the content of the screen displayed on the recipient terminal. It is a figure which shows the content of the screen displayed on the recipient terminal. It is a figure which shows the content of the screen displayed on the recipient terminal.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the delivery system, server, manifestation of intention, and mobile terminal of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a usage situation of the present invention. The present invention completes delivery by placing the package 50 as a delivery in front of the entrance door 32 of the delivery destination house 31 without directly delivering it to the recipient, as specified in advance. It is a system that proves that it was placed first. A slip 51 on which the address and name (name), which is the location information of the delivery destination, is described is attached to the package 50, and the delivery identification information is carried on the same surface as the surface to which the slip is attached. A barcode 52, which is a means for carrying delivery identification information, is displayed. The barcode 52 may be printed on a sticker and affixed to the luggage 50, or may be printed directly on the surface of the luggage. The identification information carrying means does not have to be a coded identifier, and may be represented by a list of numbers or alphabets.

A post box 33 is provided at the entrance door 32 of the house 31, which is a possible delivery destination of the delivered item, so that mail or the like can be thrown into the house. The entrance door 32 has an open / close sensor that detects an open state and a closed state of the door. A camera 351 is arranged near the upper part of the entrance door 32. The camera 351 is arranged so that the outside of the entrance door 32 can be photographed, and the arranged luggage 50 and the movement of the delivery person can be photographed. Further, a motion sensor 352 is arranged in the vicinity of the entrance door 32. The motion sensor is a sensor that detects a human being, and is configured to be photographed by the camera 351 from the time when the motion sensor detects a human to the time when a predetermined time elapses after the motion sensor stops detecting the human.

The motion sensor may use any of a method of detecting infrared rays emitted by humans, a method of constantly emitting infrared rays and reacting when crossing the infrared rays, and a method of detecting humans by detecting changes in light and sound. .. The motion sensor 352 may be provided on the outside of the entrance door 32.

The motion sensor 352 and the camera 351 are controlled by a control device (not shown). The control device has a control unit, a communication unit, and a recording unit, is connected to a communication network described later via the communication unit, and receives a photographing instruction signal supplied from the communication network. The recording unit records the moving image taken by the camera 351 together with the shooting time. The control unit switches the motion sensor 352 to the operating state based on the shooting instruction signal received via the communication unit, and after the motion sensor 352 detects a person, a predetermined time from the time when the person is no longer detected. The camera 351 is photographed until the lapse of time.

A manifestation sign 34 is hung on the knob of the entrance door 32. As shown in FIG. 2, the manifestation sign 34 is made of a plate material 341 formed in a vertically long rectangular shape, and an insertion hole 342a for hanging on the doorknob is formed, and a recess in which the shaft of the doorknob is fitted is formed above the insertion hole 342a. 342b is formed. Further, a plurality of holes 343 are formed in the upper part of the insertion hole 342a, and a string is passed through these holes 343 to form an annular shape so that the hole 342a can be hooked to a place other than the doorknob, that is, an arbitrary place. Is also configured so that the manifestation sign 34 can be hung.

At the lower part of the manifestation of intention 34, a placement intention expression area 345 for expressing the intention of the recipient to approve the placement is provided, and an information carrying means in which the sign identification information of the manifestation of intention 34 is carried in the vicinity thereof. The bar code 344 is displayed. In the placement intention expression area 345, a sentence such as "Please place the cargo here." Is displayed, and an arrow indicating the position to place the cargo is displayed below it. By arranging the manifestation of intention sign 34 at a position where the delivery person can easily see it, the delivery person is expressed an intention to approve the placement. It should be noted that even if the placement intention expression area 345 is not provided, it is possible to accept (or request) the placement by simply arranging the manifestation sign 34 outside the door 32.

In addition to the above, the intention display sign 34 may be provided with the same configuration on the back surface, that is, the placement intention expression area 345 and the bar code 344. The reason for providing the same configuration on the front and back is that the information displayed in the placement intention expression area 345 can have different contents. For example, as described above, the front surface placement intention expression area 345 is described as "please place the placement here.", And the back surface placement intention expression area 345 is "placed here." Please press the doorbell when the placement is complete. " By doing so, two ways of using can be obtained according to the purpose of use. Alternatively, the placement intention expression area 345 may be an area on which an erasable ink is placed and a surface treatment is applied so that an arbitrary sentence can be described each time it is used. With such a configuration, the recipient can convey to the delivery person a different message depending on the situation each time the delivery is used.

As the information carrying means, the signature of the recipient may be used instead of the barcode 344. The signature of the recipient may be stored as image information, and the sign identification information may be associated with the image information and stored. The server collates the stored signature image with the signature image sent from the mobile terminal using signature authentication software, and determines whether or not both signatures are the signatures of the same person.

When the delivery person has the mobile terminal 21b and puts the luggage 50 in front of the entrance door 32 of the house 31 who is away, the delivery person first reads the barcode 52 of the luggage 50 with the mobile terminal 21b, and then the manifestation sign 34. Read the barcode 344 of. The identification information carried on the barcodes 52 and 34 (or the image information when the information carrying means is an uncoded identifier or signature) is read and read in the mobile terminal 21b. Each identification information is transmitted to the server through the wireless communication line.

In the server, the delivery destination position information of the package stored in association with the delivery identification information is extracted based on the received delivery identification information. In addition, the delivery destination identification information stored in association with the sign identification information is extracted in advance in the delivery destination identification information storage unit, and is collated with the extracted delivery destination identification information to determine whether the two match. If they match, the delivery completion information is transmitted to the mobile terminal 21b, and the delivery completion notification and the completion date / time information are notified to the recipient's terminal.

Here, even when the delivery destination identification information corresponding to the sign identification information is not stored in the delivery destination identification information storage unit, the intention of placement is confirmed by the fact that the sign identification information is transmitted to the server. Since the intention display information indicating that the information is sent is transmitted, the delivery can be completed by receiving the sign identification information and the delivery identification information.
When the delivery completion is notified on the mobile terminal 21b, information such as the delivery date and time is printed (output) from the printer, and the delivery person posts the printed delivery slip from the post port 33.

The above-mentioned placement procedure will be described in detail below by means of a flowchart or the like. The barcodes 34 and 52 may be other two-dimensional codes that can be read optically, such as a QR code, and are represented by an IC tag from an RF tag in which ID information is embedded. , RFID (radio frequency identification indicator) that exchanges information by short-range wireless communication using an electromagnetic field, radio waves, or the like may be used. Alternatively, the character may be read by optically reading the identification information composed of the character information. Further, as described above, it may be image information such as a recipient's signature and a face image.

FIG. 3 is a conceptual diagram showing a system configuration of the delivery system 1. The delivery system having the server and the mobile terminal in the present embodiment is intended for the case where a person who accepts the delivery is registered as a member in advance and the package is delivered to the member. The member can use the member's name (name, name, corporate name, etc.), location information of the place where the package can be delivered (for example, address information, latitude / longitude information), and conditions for permitting delivery (for example, specifying the date and time: place). It can be distributed from 8:00 pm to 6:00 the next morning, etc. except Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays / Weight specification: Limited to luggage of 20 kg or more / Size specification: Limited to 30 liters or more, etc. / Identification of the contents of the baggage: Limited to items other than raw items, etc.) etc. are registered. The server 2 sets such information as sign identification information provided for each manifestation sign 34, and for each of the identification information, the above-mentioned location information, condition information for permitting placement, name, contact information ( E-mail address, telephone number, etc.) are stored in association with the identification information. The registration of such information is input to the storage unit of the server when the manifestation of intention 34 is purchased, but it is not necessary to input the above-mentioned information only for the purchase.

If you do not enter any information at the time of purchase, the delivery address associated with the delivery identification information given to the delivered delivery when the delivery was first performed using the manifestation sign 34 for the first time. The information is input as various information associated with the sign identification information. For example, the address stored as the delivery destination information is input as the member's name, and the address stored as the delivery destination information is input as the location information of the place where the member's package can be delivered. Further, the contents of the package, the size of the package, the weight of the package, and the date and time of actual delivery, which are stored as the delivery destination information, may be stored as the delivery conditions. Such delivery conditions include information on the parcel that was delivered (contents of the parcel, size of the parcel, weight of the parcel, date and time of actual delivery) and the delivery date and time each time the parcel was delivered. It is possible to accumulate the distribution approval information and automatically set the conditions for approving the distribution from the accumulated information and the distribution approval information.

As shown in FIG. 3, the delivery system 100 is connected to the mobile terminals 21a, 22a to 2na possessed by the deliverer, the terminals 21b, 22b to 2nb possessed by the recipient, and the server 2 via the network Ne. It is composed of being done.

Alternatively, the reading unit 17 includes a photographing means such as a camera that reads a sign, a character sign, etc. as an image, an auditory information acquisition means such as a microphone that acquires sound and voice, and a voice that converts the auditory information acquired by the microphone into character information. It may have a voice recognition means composed of a conversion means and the like.

Further, the mobile terminal 2na may have a position information acquisition unit that acquires the position information on which the mobile terminal is located. The position information acquisition unit can use, for example, a system in which signals from several satellites in the sky are received by a GPS receiver out of about 30 GPS satellites, and the receiver knows its own current position.

The recipient terminals 21b, 22b ... possessed by the recipient of the package are, for example, a desktop type or notebook type personal computer, or a mobile terminal such as a smartphone, and can be connected to a communication network such as the Internet. It is a terminal device. The recipient terminal has a CPU 41, an input unit 42, a display unit 43, a communication unit 44, a RAM 45, and a storage unit 46, similarly to the mobile terminal 2na described above, and is software for connecting to a communication network. Has a browser). The recipient terminal can browse a desired page on the Internet using a browser, and can perform a desired input operation on the page via the input unit 42.

Next, the server 2 will be described. Since the main part configuration of the server 2 is substantially the same as the main part configuration of the mobile terminal 2na described above, each component is designated by a reference numeral in the same row (see FIG. 4), and the configuration is illustrated and described. Is omitted. Hereinafter, the functions characteristic of the server 2 and the database provided in the server 2 will be described in detail.
The server 2 includes a CPU 21 as a processing means, an input unit 22, a display unit 23, a communication unit 24 as a transmission / reception means, a RAM 25, a storage unit 26 as a storage means, and the like, and each unit is connected by a bus 27. There is.

In addition, the storage unit 26 has a database for storing data.

The database has multiple storage areas.
The first storage area is a delivery information storage area as a delivery information storage means. Various information is stored in the delivery information storage area when the shipment of the package is arranged. The stored information is the delivery identification information set for each package, and the location information of the delivery destination (delivery address, address) specified at the time of shipping arrangement, which is associated with the delivery identification information. , Information on the attributes of the contents of the package (documents, raw materials, broken items, refrigeration required, etc.), information on the weight of the package, information on the size of the package, information on the shipping location, information on the shipper (name of the shipper) , Address, contact information (email address), etc. are stored. Data is input to the baggage delivery office, collection reception office, etc., and is supplied to the server 2 via the communication network Nc. At the same time, the delivery identification information is determined at the time of data input, and at the same time, the delivery identification information A barcode 52 is issued as a means for carrying delivery information.

The issued barcode 52 is printed on, for example, a sticker and affixed to the surface of the luggage 50. When an IC tag is issued in place of a barcode as a means for carrying delivery information, all the information stored in the first storage area may be stored in the IC tag. When the IC tag is issued, it is preferable that the IC tag is attached not to the surface of the luggage 50 but to the inner surface of the box to be packed or the back side of the attached slip 51. Damage to the IC tag due to contact with other luggage during the transportation work of the luggage 50 can be suppressed.

The second storage area is a delivery destination specific information storage area as a delivery destination specific information storage means. In the delivery destination specific information storage area, position information (address information, latitude / longitude information) of a point that can be designated as the delivery destination of the delivery is stored in association with the sign identification information. The sign identification information is already carried on the barcode 344 printed on the plate material 341. The information stored in association with the sign identification information includes the name (name, corporate name, etc.) of the owner of the sign identification information, contact information (email address, telephone number), and condition information (email address, telephone number) that allows delivery. For example, date and time conditions: Date conditions that can be placed and distributed are other than Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, time zone conditions are from 8:00 pm to 6:00 the next morning, etc./Weight condition: Limited to luggage of 20 kg or more / size Conditions: Limited to those of 30 liters or more / Attribute conditions: Limited to those that do not require refrigeration, Limited to those that are not raw). For example, when the purchaser (receiver of the package) purchases the manifestation of intention sign, the purchaser (recipient of the package) stores and inputs the information through the input unit 22. When an IC tag is issued in place of a barcode as an information carrying means, the IC tag may store all the information stored in the first storage area. In addition to the above, the signature of the recipient is stored as image information in place of the barcode, and the sign identification information may be carried on the signature image.

Next, the operation of the present embodiment will be described with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, and FIG. FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the processing of the mobile terminal, and FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the processing of the server 2. As shown in FIG. 1, when the delivery person places the luggage 50 in front of the entrance of the absence house 31 and confirms that he / she is away, he / she inputs to the mobile terminal whether or not he / she is away (step S101). If you are at home, you can hand over the luggage as it is, so the delivery is completed (step S105), and if you are away, check if there is a manifestation sign 34 around the entrance door 32. If there is no manifestation of intention 34, the server is notified that the user is out of the office (step S109). At this time, the date and time when the absence is confirmed is also transmitted at the same time. After sending the absence, it will be redelivered at a later date.

When there is a manifestation of intention 34, the barcode 52 of the package 50, which is the delivery, is read by the reading unit 17 of the mobile terminal 21a (step S111). The delivery identification information is detected by the CPU 11 from the barcode 52, and the delivery identification information is stored in the storage unit 16 (step S113). The barcode 344 is read before the predetermined time elapses from step S111 (step S115, step S119). This predetermined time is set in the range of, for example, about 15 seconds to 60 seconds. This is to ensure that the position of the package 50 and the position of the delivery destination are the same. When this predetermined time has elapsed, an error display is displayed on the display unit 13 (step S117), and the retry must be performed from step S111.

After step S119, the CPU 11 detects the sign identification information from the barcode 344 and stores the sign identification information in the storage unit 16 (step S121). (If a signature is written instead of the barcode 344, the signature is photographed and the photographed image is stored.)
The delivery identification information and the sign identification information (or the signature image) stored in steps S113 and S121 are transmitted to the server 2 via the communication unit 14 (step S123). If the determination result from the server 2 is received (step S125) and the delivery completion determination is made (step S127), the delivery completion is displayed on the display unit 13 (step S131), and the delivery completion report card is output from the printer 19. (Step S133).

For example, delivery destination information, delivery destination identification information, delivery completion date and time, and the like are displayed on the delivery completion report card. If the delivery destination identification information is not stored, the delivery destination information and the delivery completion date and time are displayed. The display executed in step S131 includes a display indicating the placement method. That is, it is either a method of simply leaving the luggage 50 at the front door or a method of sounding the call buzzer of the front door after placing the luggage 50 at the front door. When the latter method is displayed, the delivery person presses the call buzzer after placing the cargo 50. Even if such an instruction is not displayed, the same placement method is performed if there is an instruction to press the buzzer in the placement intention expression area 345 of the manifestation sign 34.

If the determination result is not the completion of delivery, an error is displayed on the display unit 13 (step S129). If an error is displayed, the delivery person will be notified that the delivery location is likely to be different, and the delivery address will be reconfirmed. The content of the error display is that the delivery destination identification information and the delivery destination information stored in association with the sign identification information do not match, or a condition for permitting the delivery stored in association with the sign identification information. It can be mentioned that it does not match.

The processing of the server 2 executed in response to the processing of the mobile terminal 21a as described above will be described. Since the delivery identification information is transmitted from the shipping office when the package 50 is shipped, the server 2 stores the delivery identification information in the delivery information storage means (step S201), and subsequently relates to the delivery destination information and the package to be sent. The information is acquired (step S203) and stored in the delivery information storage means in association with the delivery identification information stored in step S201 (step S205). The delivery destination information includes the location information (address, etc.) of the delivery destination, the address, and the like.

In the placement content designation information input area 73, options for the placement method are displayed. You will be presented with two options: simply place it at the front door, or press the call buzzer after placing it at the front door.

On the input page 7, it is determined whether or not the placement approval information has been input (step S209), and if it is input, the input conditions are stored (step S210), and if it is not input, it is carried. It is determined whether or not the absence report based on step S109 of the terminal processing has been received (step S211). If it has not been received, step S219 is executed, and if it is received, a delivery absence notice is sent to the recipient's terminal to inform the recipient that the delivery was made but the delivery was not possible. (Step S213).

This notification will be sent by email. FIG. 9 shows the screen 8 of the recipient terminal displayed on the display screen of the e-mail which is the delivery absence notification.

It is determined whether or not the information has been input on the placement approval information input page linked to the address display area 94 (step S215), and if so, the input conditions are stored (step S217). If there is already the placement approval information input in step S209, the information is updated to the information input in step S215.

When the delivery identification information and the sign identification information are received by the process of step S123 of the mobile terminal 21a (step S219), the received delivery identification information is collated with the delivery identification information stored in the delivery information storage means. , Specify the location information of the delivery destination and the information related to the package specified at the time of shipping (step S221).
It is determined whether or not the delivery destination identification information associated with the received sign identification information is stored in the delivery destination identification information storage means (step S2223). On the other hand, when it is not stored, the delivery destination information stored in association with the delivery identification information received at the same time as the sign identification information is stored as the delivery destination identification information in association with the sign identification information (step S225). .. Since the receipt of the sign identification information means that the intention to approve the placement is expressed, step S235 is executed.

When the delivery destination identification information associated with the received sign identification information is stored in the delivery destination identification information storage means, it is stored in the delivery destination identification information storage means based on the received sign identification information. The location information on which the intention display sign is arranged is specified by collating with the delivery destination identification information (step S227). Here, it is determined whether the position information of the delivery destination specified in step S221 and the position information of the manifestation of intention sign of the delivery destination actually delivered specified in step S227 match (step S229). If they do not match, the error information is transmitted to the mobile terminal 21a (step S231). If they match, it is clear that the product has been delivered to the delivery destination specified at the time of delivery, and it can be determined that the delivery has been completed.

However, there may be conditions for accepting the placement. That is, if the position information matches, the following processing is performed. The conditions for accepting the delivery that are stored in association with the sign identification information are collated with the information about the package that is stored in association with the delivery identification information, and the conditions for the package and the delivery date and time are the conditions for accepting the delivery. It is determined whether or not the conditions are met (step S233). If they do not match, the error information is transmitted to the mobile terminal 21a (step S231). This error information also includes the content of the error. For example, the delivery position is different. It is out of the delivery approval time zone. It is not the weight that allows the placement, etc. When such error information is received, the recipient can connect to the server 2 via a communication line such as the Internet and cancel or change the condition for accepting the placement. For example, the condition of 8 pm may be changed to 10 pm. As described above, the condition for approving the placement is in step S217 if there is a condition stored in step S217 in addition to the condition for accepting the placement stored in association with the sign identification information. The stored conditions are applied with priority. That is, the most recently set condition has priority.

If they match, it is clear that the product has been delivered to the delivery destination specified at the time of delivery, so it can be determined that the delivery has been completed, and the fact that the delivery has been completed is transmitted to the mobile terminal 21a (step S235 → Step S125). In the mobile terminal, step S125 is executed based on this transmission. The transmission also includes information about the placement method. When the delivery is completed, a notification that the delivery is completed is transmitted to the recipient terminal (step S237). The destination is sent to the delivery destination identification information storage means to the e-mail address associated with the sign identification information. Similarly, an operation start signal is sent to the control device that controls the motion sensor 352 and the camera 351 (step S239).

As a result, when the motion sensor 352 is activated and the placed luggage 50 is stolen, the stolen situation can be captured by the camera 351 as a moving image.
E-mail notifications to such e-mail addresses allow the recipient to immediately know that the delivery by delivery has been completed. As a result, for example, if you are in your house, you can immediately open the door and collect your luggage. Trouble such as leaving luggage in the open air is suppressed.

The manifestation of intention 34 does not have to be a plate material, and is integrated with, for example, the entrance door. For example, when a window is provided on the surface of the door 32 and the window is opened, the sign identification information is displayed inside. It may be configured as a window. When the window of the door 32 is open, the delivery person can recognize that he / she "accepts the placement" and reads the displayed sign identification information. If the window is closed, it can be recognized that "I do not accept the placement".

Next, the process of step S233 will be described. Step S233 is a process of approving whether or not to approve the placement. First, determine if the conditions for restricting placement are set. If it is not set, step S235 is executed. If it is set, the conditions for accepting the placement stored in association with the sign identification information are collated with the information on the baggage one by one. When all the conditions of the date and time to approve the placement, the condition of the weight to approve the placement, the condition of the size to approve the placement, and other attribute conditions are compared with the information on the luggage and all the conditions are met. Executes step S235, and if even one of the conditions is not satisfied, step S231 is executed.
