Patent Document 2 discloses a transportation system for arranging a means of transportation for a person from a first point to a second point. Such a transportation system can be applied to a food delivery system that delivers food and drink from a restaurant to a receiving place. In the food delivery system, the location information of the delivery destination is input from the operator (orderer) of the communication terminal connected to the Internet. The food delivery system may be applied to a flower delivery system that delivers flowers from a florist to a recipient.

Flowers are often used as gifts for loved ones. In such cases, the orderer may not necessarily know the recipient's personal address. In particular, with the development of contact methods such as SNS, chat, and e-mail as in modern times, it is difficult to find out the address from the individual recipient because there is no problem in contacting without knowing the address. Even if you ask for the address, the recipient must want to ask how the address is used. If you tell them how to use it, the "surprise" when the flowers arrive will be weakened. The recipient's impression is diminished.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a flower delivery system that can save the trouble of inputting a recipient's address and thereby deliver flowers to a recipient without knowing the recipient's individual address. ..

As shown in FIG. 6, the delivery person application displays an image 75 "proposing acceptance of delivery work" on the screen of the smartphone terminal 53. The image 75 may include, for example, geographic information that presents the florist location 76 and the restaurant location 77, estimated delivery times, delivery fees, and other information useful for delivery selection.

When the "accept" button 78 is tapped, in step S10, the delivery person application generates acceptance notification data. The acceptance notification data identifies, for example, the order identifier 28 and the deliverer identifier 38. The acceptance notification data is sent to the transaction record management application. The transaction record management application registers the deliverer identifier 28 in the data set 27 of the transaction record database 25 in response to the receipt of the acceptance notification data. Acceptance of delivery is notified to the florist and restaurant applications. At this point, the florist and restaurant can know that the flower order has been completed.

When the delivery person picks up the goods from the flower shop, in step S11, the delivery person notifies the transaction record management application of the completion of the pick-up from the delivery person application. The transaction record management application rewrites the pick-up completion flag 39 in the data set 27. When the value "1" is written in the collection completion flag 39 in this way, the delivery fee for collection is added to the account information of the delivery person. The sales of the order are added to the sales amount of the flower shop database 16.

When the delivery person delivers the product to the restaurant, in step S12, the delivery person notifies the transaction record management application of the completion of the delivery from the delivery person application. The transaction record management application rewrites the delivery completion flag 41 in the data set 27. When the "1" value is written in the delivery completion flag 41 in this way, the delivery fee for delivery is added to the account information of the delivery person. The order reward is added to the reward amount of the restaurant database 23. The transaction ends.

In the flower delivery system 11 according to the present embodiment, the owner (flower orderer) of the smartphone terminal 13 designates a restaurant on the smartphone terminal 13 when ordering flowers. Once the restaurant is designated, the destination of the ordered flowers can be specified. Since the flower order is notified to the florist, the florist can prepare the flowers based on the order data. The prepared flowers can be delivered from the florist to the restaurant. In this way, the flower orderer can please the important person who is present with the flowers that arrive during (or after) the meal at the restaurant.

Here, the orderer only needs to specify the restaurant when specifying the delivery destination. Since the location information of the restaurant is registered in advance, it is possible to save the trouble of inputting the address of the recipient when specifying the delivery destination. The orderer does not even need to know the address of the restaurant or the individual recipient. The recipient does not have to bother to give the sender (orderer) the personal address. Therefore, the target audience of recipients will increase. Thus the demand for flowers can increase.

The third transmission means 61 extracts the selected restaurants from the restaurant database 23 including information useful for selection for each individual restaurant, and transmits the option data to the smartphone terminal 13. When designating a restaurant, information on options is displayed on the screen of the smartphone terminal 13. The flower orderer can specify the restaurant based on the displayed options. At this time, the operator of the flower delivery system 11 must obtain permission for display from the restaurant in advance before displaying the options. It is considered that the operator cannot incorporate the restaurant into the flower delivery system 11 without permission. In this way, the operator can obtain permission for flower delivery from each restaurant in advance at the time of registration in the restaurant database 23. Individual orderers do not have to obtain permission to deliver flowers to restaurants. Usability is improved.

The fourth transmission means 62 extracts the flowers of choice unique to the selected florist from the product database 18 containing information useful for selecting flowers for each florist, and transmits the flower data to the smartphone terminal 13. .. When ordering flowers, the flowers of choice are displayed on the screen of the smartphone terminal 13. Flower orderers can specify flowers based on the options displayed. At this time, the assortment of flowers can be set for each individual florist. The quality of flowers can be ensured for each individual florist. Each florist can independently determine the quality of the flowers. Therefore, the orderer can have the impression of the flower that actually arrived, just like the impression of the flower received from the screen of the smartphone terminal 13. In this way, customer satisfaction can be enhanced.

In the present embodiment, the first acquisition means 56 (third acquisition means) can acquire sketch data that specifies the seat position designated by the sketch of one restaurant from the specific smartphone terminal 13. As shown in FIG. 7, the sketch data identifies seat positions 82a, 82b, 82c of the orderer or recipient in the restaurant (building) 81. The sketch data can be recorded in the transaction record database 25 for each individual data set 27, for example.

The orderer can specify the seat positions 82a, 82b, 82c (one of them) from the smartphone terminal 13 based on the sketch of the restaurant 81. In designating the seat positions 82a, 82b, 82c, for example, when the orderer is seated, an undesignated sketch can be displayed on the screen of the smartphone terminal 13. The orderer can input the seat positions 82a, 82b, 82c from the smartphone terminal 13 based on a specific operation. The undesignated sketch may be registered in the restaurant database 23 in advance for each restaurant.

In such a case, the transaction record management means 51 of the cloud server 63 faces the third terminal device 54 owned by the restaurant, and the seat position designated on the screen of the third terminal device 54 based on the sketch data. A fifth transmission means for transmitting seat position data for displaying 82a, 82b, 82c may be further provided. The seat positions 82a, 82b, 82c in the sketch can be displayed on the screen of the third terminal device 54. In this way, the restaurant can confirm the seat positions 82a, 82b, 82c of the orderer based on the display on the screen. The restaurant can satisfactorily transfer the flowers that have arrived at the restaurant to the orderer (or recipient) by the work of the delivery person.

The fifth transmission means may transmit the seat position data to the smartphone terminal 53 owned by the delivery person. The seat positions 82a, 82b, 82c in the sketch can be displayed on the screen of the smartphone terminal 53. In this way, the delivery person can confirm the seat positions 82a, 82b, 82c of the orderer in the restaurant 81 based on the display on the screen. With the consent of the restaurant, the delivery person can deliver the goods directly to the orderer (or recipient) at the seat positions 82a, 82b, 82c.

The transaction record management means 51 may include a fourth acquisition means for acquiring sketch data from the third terminal device 54 owned by the restaurant. The clerk of the restaurant can specify the seat positions 82a, 82b, 82c (one of them) from the third terminal device 54 based on the sketch of the restaurant 81. In designating the seat positions 82a, 82b, 82c, for example, when a seat is reserved or when the orderer visits the store, an undesignated sketch can be displayed on the screen of the third terminal device 54. The clerk can input the seat positions 82a, 82b, 82c from the third terminal device 54 based on a specific operation.

In addition, the arrival of the delivery person may be notified to the orderer in the restaurant. The notification can be realized by a sound or vibration emitted from the smartphone terminal 13 or an image displayed on the standby screen. Upon sending the notification, the delivery person performs a specific operation on the smartphone terminal 53 when arriving at the restaurant. Once the orderer is notified of the arrival of the delivery person, the goods can be delivered to the orderer outside the restaurant. Therefore, the goods can reach the recipient regardless of whether or not they are licensed by the restaurant.
