Here, the delivery support system described in Patent Document 1 is based on the premise that the customer takes out the delivery item from the delivery box installed by the entrance, and the customer moves the taken-out delivery item to a storage or the like in the customer's home. It is composed of a mechanism that For this reason, the home delivery support system sometimes finds it difficult to reduce the burden on the customer when moving a large number of home deliveries, moving bulky home deliveries, moving heavy home deliveries, and the like. Here, such parcels include, for example, foodstuffs and daily necessities. In addition, in the home delivery support system, when the door of the loading port of the delivery is unlocked for some reason, a person who is not permitted to enter the customer's house by the customer can enter the customer's house through the delivery box. There was a danger of being invaded. For example, in the home delivery support system, if the delivery person has malicious intent, the unlocking qualification is authenticated by the authentication data, the delivery person unlocks the door of the delivery slot, and the door is opened from the customer's house. There is a risk that the delivery person may enter the inside of the customer's house through the delivery box due to the cut insertion slot. In other words, the home delivery support system does not consider safety.

In addition, unintended people enter the home through the outer wall from the outside of the house into the home delivery box described in Patent Document 2 and the cold storage room described in Patent Document 3, respectively. There was a fear that it would be lost.

Also, the area may be divided into a plurality of areas by a plate or the like, or may not be divided into a plurality of areas. In addition, one or more boxes smaller in size than the first storage box B1 may be provided in the area inside the first storage box B1, or a configuration in which no such box is provided. may be As an example, a case where the area inside the first storage box B1 is not divided into a plurality of areas will be described below. Moreover, below, as an example, the case where the second storage box B2 is provided in the area inside the first storage box B1 will be described. In the following, for convenience of explanation, the area outside the second storage box B2 in the area inside the first storage box B1 will be referred to as a second storage box outside area R2. That is, the second storage box outer region R2 is a region surrounded by the inner surface of the first storage box B1 and the outer surface of the second storage box B2 in the area inside the first storage box B1. Moreover, below, the case where the shelf board is provided in 2nd storage box outside area|region R2 as an example is demonstrated.

The second storage box B2 is a box inside the first storage box B1 for storing and storing at least some of the multiple home delivery items delivered by the delivery person.

The second storage box B2 is, for example, a rectangular parallelepiped box. It should be noted that the shape of the second storage box B2 may be another shape instead of the rectangular parallelepiped shape. Also, the volume of the second storage box B2 may be equal to or larger than the capacity of a person as long as it is smaller than the volume of the first storage box B1.
In other words, the second storage box B2 may be a walk-in type box. When the second storage box B2 is a walk-in type box, in the pantry system 1, a person (eg, a resident, a delivery person who delivers the delivery item, etc.) who takes in and out of the delivery item can use the second storage box B2. It is possible to easily put in and take out parcels stored in the container. In other words, the pantry system 1 can improve the convenience of the person who puts in and takes out the delivery items in the second storage box B2. The second storage box B2 may be a box that is not a walk-in type. That is, the volume of the second storage box B2 may be a volume that a person cannot enter.

The second storage box B2 may have a configuration in which there is a gap connecting the area inside the second storage box B2 and the area outside the second storage box R2, or a configuration in which the gap does not exist. good too. Below, as an example, a case where the gap does not exist in the second storage box B2 will be described.
That is, in this example, the area is disconnected from the second storage box outside area R2. In this case, the second storage box B2 can keep the temperature inside the second storage box B2 different from the temperature of the second storage box outside region R2. As a result, the pantry P stores, for example, deliveries that can be stored at room temperature in the second storage box outside region R2, and stores deliveries that need to be stored at a temperature different from room temperature in the second storage box B2. can do. In other words, in this case, the second storage box B2 is a refrigerator for refrigerating the delivery item stored in the second storage box B2, a freezer for freezing the delivery item, a warm storage for keeping the delivery item warm, or the like. may Below, as an example, a case where the second storage box B2 is a refrigerator will be described.

Also, the second storage box B2 includes a third door D3, a fourth door D4, and a second imaging section C2.

Moreover, as described above, the first storage box B1 may be configured without the second storage box B2. In this case, the entire first storage box B1 may be one refrigerating compartment, one freezing compartment, one warming compartment, or the like.

The control device 11 controls the pantry P as a whole. The control device 11 is an information processing device including a processor such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit) (not shown). The control device 11 also includes a storage unit 11A (not shown in FIG. 1) and a communication unit 11B (not shown in FIG. 1).

A processor included in the control device 11 executes various programs stored in the storage unit 11A.

The storage unit 11A includes, for example, a HDD (Hard Disk Drive), SSD (Solid State Drive), EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory), ROM (Read-Only Memory), RAM (Random Access Memory), and the like. Note that the storage unit 11A may be an external storage device connected to the control device 11 via a digital input/output port such as a USB instead of being built in the control device 11. FIG. The storage unit 11A stores various information, various images, various programs, and the like processed by the control device 11 .

The communication unit 11B includes, for example, a digital input/output port such as USB, an Ethernet (registered trademark) port, and the like.

Note that the processor included in the control device 11 may be another processor such as an FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) instead of the CPU.

The control device 11 causes the first electronic lock K1 to lock or unlock the first door D1 according to an operation received from the resident via the information processing device 12 . Further, the control device 11 receives the operation from the resident via the information processing device 12 through wireless or wired communication. For example, the control device 11 receives the operation from the resident via the information processing device 12 through wireless or wired communication.

Further, when the control device 11 causes the first electronic lock K1 to unlock the first door D1, it causes the second electronic lock K2 to lock the second door D2. Thereby, the control device 11 can suppress intrusion into the house H from outside the house H via the first storage box B1. For example, when the pantry P is adjacent to the kitchen KC and the second door D2 is open as shown in FIG. Door 1 D1 cannot be unlocked. This is for the safety of residents. In this case, the pantry P may be provided with a display section for displaying information indicating to the deliverer that the second door D2 is open. It may be configured to notify information.

Here, when the fourth door D4 is a separate door from the second door D2, the control device 11 causes the first electronic lock K1 to unlock the first door D1. The fourth electronic lock K4 may be used for locking, or the fourth electronic lock K4 may not be used for locking the fourth door D4. When the controller 11 causes the first electronic lock K1 to unlock the first door D1 and the fourth electronic lock K4 to lock the fourth door D4, the control device 11 locks the house H through the first storage box B1. Intrusion of people into the house H from the outside can be suppressed more reliably.

Further, when the control device 11 receives from the mobile terminal 13 an authentication key issued in advance to the mobile terminal 13 from the control device 11 or the information processing device 12, the control device 11 performs authentication using the accepted authentication key. When the authentication is successful, the control device 11 causes the first electronic lock K1 to unlock the first door D1. That is, the mobile terminal 13 can unlock the first door D1 by the authentication. Thereby, the control device 11 can prevent an unintended person from opening the first door D1.

Further, the control device 11 controls the first imaging section C1 to cause the first imaging section C1 to capture an image of a range that the first imaging section C1 can capture. Then, the control device 11 acquires the first captured image captured by the first imaging section C1 from the first imaging section C1. The control device 11 performs various types of processing based on the acquired first captured image. For example, the control device 11 outputs the first captured image to another device X (not shown). Further, for example, the control device 11 performs image processing based on the first captured image, and outputs the result of the image processing to another device X. For example, another device X is an information processing device 12 owned by a resident. In this case, the resident who owns the information processing device 12 can confirm the first captured image acquired by the information processing device 12 from the control device 11 or the result of the image processing via the information processing device 12 . As a result, the resident can grasp the storage condition or storage condition of the home delivery item inside the first storage box B1 without opening the first door D1 or the second door D2. In addition, the resident can use the information processing device 12 to ascertain, from outside the house H, the storage status or storage status of the parcels to be delivered inside the first storage box B1.

In addition, the control device 11 controls the second imaging section C2 to cause the second imaging section C2 to capture an image of a range that can be captured by the second imaging section C2. Then, the control device 11 acquires the second captured image captured by the second imaging section C2 from the second imaging section C2. The control device 11 performs various kinds of processing based on the obtained second captured image. For example, the control device 11 outputs the second captured image to another device Y. FIG. Further, for example, the control device 11 performs image processing based on the second captured image, and outputs the result of the image processing to another device Y, for example. For example, the other device Y is the information processing device 12 owned by the resident. In this case, the resident who owns the information processing device 12 can confirm the second captured image acquired by the information processing device 12 from the control device 11 or the result of the image processing via the information processing device 12 . As a result, the resident can grasp the storage status or storage status of the home delivery item inside the second storage box B2 without opening the third door D3 or the fourth door D4. In addition, the resident can use the information processing device 12 to ascertain from outside the house H the storage status or storage status of the parcels to be delivered inside the second storage box B2. Note that the other device X and the other device Y may be different devices.

In addition, the control device 11 places an order for delivery of a parcel desired by the resident according to an operation received from the resident via the information processing device 12 . At this time, the control device 11 may be configured to issue the order to the sales agent who sells the home delivery item, to the management company managing the house H, or to another agent. It may be a configuration.

Here, the control device 11 is built in the pantry P in the example shown in FIG. In other words, the pantry P comprises the control device 11 in this example. That is, in the example, the pantry system 1 includes a pantry P having a control device 11 , an information processing device 12 , and a mobile terminal 13 . Note that the control device 11 may be installed outside the pantry P instead of being built in the pantry P. The outside of the pantry P may be the outside of the pantry P within the house H or outside the house H. In such a case, the control device 11 is communicably connected to each of the pantry P, the information processing device 12, and the mobile terminal 13 wirelessly or by wire. Further, for example, in this case, the control device 11 may be configured to be connected to each of the pantry P, the information processing device 12, and the mobile terminal 13 via a communication network such as the Internet. Moreover, the function which the control apparatus 11 has may be the structure divided and provided in both the inside of the pantry P, and the outside of the pantry P, respectively.

The information processing device 12 is, as described above, an information processing device owned by a resident. The information processing device 12 is, for example, a notebook PC (Personal Computer), a desktop PC, a tablet PC, a multifunctional mobile phone terminal (smartphone), a mobile phone terminal, a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), etc., but is not limited to these. isn't it. In the example shown in FIG. 1, the information processing device 12 is a notebook PC.

For example, the information processing device 12 is installed with a dedicated application program PM that performs processing related to the pantry P. FIG. In this case, the resident can operate the control device 11 through an operation screen among various screens displayed on the display of the information processing device 12 by executing the application program PM. Here, the operation screen is a screen that receives an operation for causing the control device 11 to perform various processes. For example, the resident can cause the control device 11 to display the first captured image on the display of the information processing device 12 via the operation screen. In addition, for example, the resident can cause the control device 11 to place an order for delivery of a home delivery item desired by the resident via the operation screen.

The mobile terminal 13 is, for example, a handheld computer of a delivery person who delivers parcels. The portable terminal 13 may be a delivery person's tablet PC, a multifunctional mobile phone terminal, a mobile phone terminal, a PDA, or the like, instead of a handheld computer. The mobile terminal 13 accepts an authentication key issued in advance by the control device 11 or the information processing device 12 . The mobile terminal 13 outputs the received authentication key to the control device 11 by some method. Thereby, the deliverer can cause the control device 11 to unlock the first door D1. As a result, the delivery person can open the first door D1 and store the package in the first storage box B1. In addition, the said method is mentioned later.

In addition, when the pantry P is adjacent to the kitchen (kitchen KC in FIG. 1) as in the example shown in FIG. It can be used directly in the kitchen from the box B1 or the second storage box B2) without moving to the vicinity of the kitchen or inside the kitchen in advance. Pantry P is particularly convenient for the user when there are groceries and daily necessities that are delivered on a daily basis. Also, when the pantry P is adjacent to the kitchen (the kitchen KC in FIG. 1) as in the example shown in FIG. 1, the distance from the storage box to the refrigerator installed in the kitchen is short. Therefore, the pantry P can save the trouble of transporting the frozen/refrigerated food items delivered to the pantry P. In addition, even if the food delivered to the storage box is not moved to the refrigerator and is stored until the food is used instead of the secondary refrigerator, the user can use the kitchen and the pantry P. are adjacent to each other, the food items can be quickly taken out of the pantry P when the user wants to use them. Such an effect can be similarly obtained by the pantry P even when the pantry P is adjacent to the dining room, living room, or the like.

<Positional relationship between the first door and the entrance door on the outer wall of the house H>
The positional relationship between the first door D1 and the entrance door G on the outer wall of the house H will be described below.

In the example shown in FIG. 1, the first door D1 is provided on an outer wall of the house H that is different from the entrance wall.

Here, FIG. 2 is an external view showing an example of the outer wall provided with the first door D1 among the outer walls of the house H shown in FIG. In the example shown in FIG. 1, the first door D1 is, as shown in FIG. is provided in In other words, in this example, the first door D1 is provided on the outer wall of the house H on the positive side of the X-axis in the three-dimensional coordinate system HC. In this case, the first door D1 is less likely to be seen by people walking in front of the entrance door G than when it is provided on the entrance wall (or there is almost no such opportunity). This is because entering and exiting the house H is performed through the front door G. As a result, there is a possibility that an unintended person, disguised as a delivery person, may enter the house H shown in FIG. Therefore, in the house H shown in FIG. 1, a screen member DB is provided to the left of the first door D1 on the outer wall where the first door D1 is provided to prevent people from entering the back side of the house H. . More specifically, in the house H shown in FIG. 1, a screen member DB is provided on the outer wall of the house H on the negative side of the Y-axis in the three-dimensional coordinate system HC relative to the first door D1. The screen member DB is, for example, a screen plate as shown in FIG. 1, but is not limited to this. That is, in the example shown in FIG. 1, the pantry system 1 further includes such a partition member DB. As a result, the pantry system 1 can prevent an unintended person from entering the rear side of the house H by pretending to be a delivery person. When the pantry system 1 is provided with the partition member DB in this way, it may be provided with one partition member DB, or may be provided with a plurality of partition members DB. Also, the partition member DB may be composed of a plurality of members.

Here, the above-mentioned first door D1 may be composed of one door, or may be composed of two or more doors that can be opened and closed independently of each other. In the example shown in FIG. 2, the first door D1 is composed of two doors that can be opened and closed independently of each other, that is, an eleventh door D1A and a twelfth door D1B. For example, the eleventh door D1A is a door that connects the area outside the second storage box and the outside of the house H described above. In this case, for example, the 12th door D1B is a door integrated with the 3rd door D3, and is a door that connects the inside of the above-mentioned second storage box B2 and the outside of the house H. The twelfth door D1B may be a separate door from the third door D3.

Note that the first door D1 may be configured to be provided on the entrance wall as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 . More specifically, the first door D1 may be configured to be provided in a portion of the entrance wall different from the portion where the entrance door G is provided. FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram showing an example of the house H when the first door D1 is provided in the entrance wall of the outer walls of the house H. As shown in FIG. Moreover, FIG. 4 is an external view which shows an example of an entrance wall. In the example shown in FIG. 4, the first door D1 is provided to the left of the entrance door G on the entrance wall when the entrance wall is viewed from outside the house H. As shown in FIG. In other words, in the example shown in FIG. 4, the first door D1 is provided on the entrance wall on the positive side of the X axis in the three-dimensional coordinate system HC from the entrance door G. When the first door D1 is provided on the entrance wall, the first door D1 is more visible to people who come and go in front of the entrance door G compared to the case where the first door D1 is provided on an outer wall of the house H that is different from the entrance wall. have many opportunities to come into contact with This is because entering and exiting the house H is performed through the front door G. As a result, in this case, the pantry P can prevent the opening and closing of the first door D1 by an unintended person.

<Modified example of the configuration inside the first storage box>
Modifications of the configuration inside the first storage box B1 will be described below.

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing Modification 1 of the configuration inside the first storage box B1. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration inside the first storage box B1 when the first storage box B1 is viewed from the outside of the house H when the first door D1 is open. Here, the three shelf boards T shown in FIG. 5 are examples of each of the plurality of shelf boards provided in the second storage box outer region R2.

Here, the first storage box B1 may have a configuration in which, for example, in addition to the second storage box B2, a third storage box B3 is provided inside the first storage box B1. The configuration of the third storage box B3 is substantially the same as the configuration of the second storage box B2, so the description thereof will be omitted.

When the second storage box B2 and the third storage box B3 are provided inside the first storage box B1, inside the first storage box B1, the temperature inside the second storage box B2 and the third storage box B1 The temperature inside the box B3 can be different from each other. That is, for example, when the second storage box B2 is a refrigerator, the third storage box B3 is a freezer. In this way, the first storage box B1 includes a plurality of storage boxes, so that the pantry P can simultaneously store a plurality of parcels stored at different temperatures. Thereby, the resident can use the pantry P as a substitute for the large-sized refrigerator provided in the kitchen. As a result, the pantry P can prevent the size of the kitchen from being narrowed by the refrigerator or the like.

On the other hand, FIG. 6 is a diagram showing Modified Example 2 of the configuration inside the first storage box B1. FIG. 6 is a diagram showing another example of the configuration inside the first storage box B1 when the first storage box B1 is viewed from the outside of the house H when the first door D1 is open. . Here, in the example shown in FIG. 6, unlike the configuration inside the first storage box B1 shown in FIG. 5, the third storage box B3 is not provided inside the first storage box B1. However, the inside of the second storage box B2 shown in FIG. 6 is partitioned into two vertically aligned areas by a shelf board. A refrigerator B21 is arranged in the lower area of the two areas. In addition, the upper area of the two areas is an area in which parcels can be stored at room temperature.

As described above, there are many modifications to the specific example of the inner configuration of the first storage box B1 according to the usage, convenience, etc. of the people who use the pantry P, such as residents and deliverers. Each of the variations described in FIGS. 5 and 6 is but one example of many such variations. That is, in the pantry P, the inner structure of the first storage box B1 may be any structure according to the purpose, convenience, etc. of the person who uses the pantry P. Thereby, the pantry P can be designed according to the convenience of the person who lives in the house where the pantry P is provided, and has a high degree of design freedom.

Further, when the electronic lock control unit 113 causes the first electronic lock K1 to unlock the first door D1, it causes the fourth electronic lock K4 to lock the fourth door D4. In this case, the electronic lock control section 113 may be configured to prevent the fourth electronic lock K4 from locking the fourth door D4.

The imaging control unit 114 controls the first imaging unit C1 according to the operation received by the operation receiving unit 111, and causes the first imaging unit C1 to capture an image of a range that the first imaging unit C1 can capture. In addition, the imaging control unit 114 controls the second imaging unit C2 according to the operation received by the operation receiving unit 111, and causes the second imaging unit C2 to capture an image of a range that can be captured by the second imaging unit C2.

The image acquiring unit 115 acquires the first captured image captured by the first imaging unit C1 from the first imaging unit C1 when the imaging control unit 114 causes the first imaging unit C1 to capture the first captured image. Further, when the imaging control unit 114 causes the first imaging unit C1 to capture the first captured image, the image acquisition unit 115 acquires the second captured image captured by the second imaging unit C2 from the second imaging unit C2. .

The image processing unit 116 performs image processing based on the first captured image acquired by the image acquiring unit 115 . Also, the image processing unit 116 performs image processing based on the second captured image acquired by the image acquisition unit 115 .

In addition, the order control unit 118 places an order for the delivery of the parcel that is presumed to be desired by the resident based on the result of the image processing performed by the image processing unit 116 based on the first captured image. . In addition, the order control unit 118 places an order for the delivery of the parcel that is estimated to be desired by the resident based on the result of the image processing performed by the image processing unit 116 based on the second captured image. .

<Specific example of processing performed by the control device>
A specific example of the processing performed by the control device 11 will be described below.

<Processing by which the control device outputs the first captured image to another device>
First, the process of outputting the first captured image to another device by the control device 11 will be described. Here, a case where the other device is the information processing device 12 will be described.

FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of the flow of processing in which the control device 11 outputs the first captured image to the information processing device 12. As shown in FIG. A case will be described below where the control device 11 has previously received an operation from the information processing device 12 to display the first captured image on the display of the information processing device 12 at a timing before the processing of step S110 is performed.

The imaging control unit 114 causes the first imaging unit C1 to start imaging an area that can be imaged by the first imaging unit C1 (that is, at least part of the inside of the first storage box B1) (step S110). Here, in this example, the first captured image is a moving image as described above. Therefore, the imaging started in step S<b>110 is continued until the control device 11 receives from the information processing device 12 an end operation for stopping the display of the first captured image on the display of the information processing device 12 .

Next, the image acquiring section 115 starts acquiring the first captured image captured by the first imaging section C1. Then, the communication control unit 117 starts outputting the first captured image acquired by the image acquisition unit 115 to the information processing device 12 (step S120). Here, the information processing device 12 that has started acquiring the first captured image starts to display the acquired first captured image on the display of the information processing device 12 . As a result, the resident can grasp the storage status or storage status of the first storage box B1 by viewing the first captured image displayed on the display of the information processing device 12 .

Next, the imaging control unit 114 determines whether or not the operation reception unit 111 has received the aforementioned end operation (step S130).

When the imaging control unit 114 determines that the operation accepting unit 111 has not accepted the aforementioned end operation (step S130-NO), the image acquisition unit 115 continues acquisition of the first captured image started in step S120. Also, in this case, the communication control unit 117 continues the output of the first captured image started in step S120.

When the imaging control unit 114 determines that the operation accepting unit 111 has accepted the above-described termination operation (step S130-YES), the image acquisition unit 115 stops acquisition of the first captured image started in step S120. Also, in this case, the communication control unit 117 stops outputting the first captured image started in step S120 (step S140). After the process of step S140 is executed, the imaging control unit 114 ends the process.

It should be noted that the description of the processing in which the control device 11 outputs the second captured image to the information processing device 12 is to replace the first imaging section C1 with the second imaging section C2 in the description of the flowchart shown in FIG. Since the description is the same as the description in which the first captured image is read as the second captured image, the description is omitted.

<Processing by the control device for outputting the result of image processing based on the first captured image to another device>
Processing for outputting the result of image processing based on the first captured image by the control device 11 to another device will be described below. Here, a case where the other device is the information processing device 12 will be described.

FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an example of the flow of processing in which the control device 11 outputs the result of image processing based on the first captured image to another device. In the following, at a timing before the process of step S210 is performed, the control device 11 receives from the information processing device 12 in advance an operation to display the result of the image processing based on the first captured image on the display of the information processing device 12. If there is

The image capturing control unit 114 causes the first image capturing unit C1 to capture an image of a range that can be captured by the first image capturing unit C1 (that is, at least part of the inside of the first storage box B1) (step S210). Here, in step S210, the image capturing control unit 114 causes the first image capturing unit C1 to capture, for example, a still image as the first captured image instead of the moving image. Note that the imaging control unit 114 may be configured to cause the first imaging unit C1 to capture the moving image as the first captured image in step S210.

Next, the image acquisition unit 115 acquires from the first imaging unit C1 the first captured image that the imaging control unit 114 causes the first imaging unit C1 to capture in step S210 (step S220). That is, the first captured image is a still image in this example.

Next, the image processing unit 116 performs image processing based on the first captured image acquired by the image acquisition unit 115 in step S220 (step S230). Here, the image processing is, for example, processing for detecting the number of remaining parcels for each type of parcels stored or stored inside the first storage box B1 based on the first captured image. For example, the image processing unit 116 detects the number of parcels included in the first captured image for each type by pattern matching or the like. Then, the image processing unit 116 generates, as a result of the image processing, information indicating the number of detected parcels of each type. Note that the image processing may be other processing based on the first captured image. Further, the image processing unit 116 may be configured to use another algorithm instead of pattern matching for the process of detecting the number of remaining parcels for each type.

Next, the communication control unit 117 outputs the image processing result generated by the image processing unit 116 in step S230 to the information processing device 12 (step S240), and ends the process. As a result, the resident can grasp the storage status or storage status of the first storage box B1 by looking at the result displayed on the display of the information processing device 12 . Based on the result, the resident can easily determine the number of home deliveries to be ordered for each type of home delivery.

Note that the process of outputting the result of the image processing based on the second captured image by the control device 11 to another device is described in the description of the flowchart shown in FIG. Since the description is the same as the description in which the reading is changed and the first captured image is read as the second captured image, the description is omitted.

<Processing performed by the control device in the process from ordering to delivery of the home delivery>
Hereinafter, processing performed by the control device 11 in the process from placing an order for a home delivery item to delivering it will be described.

FIG. 10 is a diagram showing an example of the flow of processing performed by the control device 11 in the process from placing an order for delivery to delivery.

The operation reception unit 111 waits until the resident performs an ordering operation via the information processing device 12 (step S310). Here, the ordering operation is an operation of placing an order for the home delivery item desired by the resident on the operation screen described above. In addition, below, the case where the resident is going out from the house H after the process of step S310 is performed as an example is demonstrated.

Next, based on the ordering operation received by the operation receiving unit 111 in step S310, the ordering control unit 118 places an order for delivery of the parcel according to the ordering operation. In addition, the order control unit 118 issues (generates) an authentication key corresponding to the ordered parcel (step S320). In the following, as an example, a case where the order control unit 118 places the order to the management company managing the house H will be described. Further, below, as an example, a case where the authentication key issued in step S320 is electronic data transmitted between the mobile terminal 13 and the control device 11 will be described.

Next, the order control unit 118 stores the authentication key generated in step S320 in the storage unit 11A in association with information (for example, an identifier) indicating the home delivery item ordered in step S320. Then, the order control unit 118 associates the authentication key with the information and outputs it to the server of the management company that manages the house H (for example, the server SV shown in FIG. 1) (step S330). When the server acquires the authentication key from the control device 11, the server identifies the parcel indicated by the information associated with the authentication key. Then, the server outputs the authentication key to the mobile terminal 13 used by the delivery person who delivers the specified parcel to the house H. When acquiring the authentication key, the mobile terminal 13 stores the authentication key in the storage area of the mobile terminal 13 . In the following, for convenience of explanation, the delivery person will be referred to as a delivery person CR. Further, in the following, as an example, after the delivery person CR prepares a delivery item to be delivered to the house H, an identification label in which information indicating the delivery item is printed on the surface of the packing material in which the delivery item is packed. A case where the seal is attached will be described.

Next, the authentication control unit 112 waits until it receives the authentication key issued by the order control unit 118 in step S320 (step S340). In step S340, the authentication control unit 112 waits until an authentication key is received from the mobile terminal 13 by, for example, short-range wireless communication (for example, communication based on a communication standard such as Bluetooth (registered trademark)). In other words, the control device 11 waits until the delivery person CR visits the residence H with the delivery item. Here, for example, after the deliverer CR arrives at the house H, the delivery person CR operates the mobile terminal 13 to establish short-range wireless communication between the mobile terminal 13 and the control device 11 . Then, in step S310, the deliverer CR sends the authentication key associated with the information indicating the parcel to the portable terminal 13 based on the identification sticker affixed to the packing material of the parcel ordered by the resident. specify. For example, the mobile terminal 13 reads the information written on the identification sticker with some sensor, and identifies the authentication key associated with the read information from the information stored in the storage area of the mobile terminal 13. . The mobile terminal 13 outputs the specified authentication key to the control device 11 through the established short-range wireless communication. By such a method, the authentication control unit 112 receives the authentication key from the portable terminal 13 in step S340.

If it is determined in step S320 that the authentication key issued by the order control unit 118 has been accepted (step S340-YES), the authentication control unit 112 performs authentication using the accepted authentication key. The authentication control unit 112 then determines whether or not the authentication has succeeded (step S350). Here, the authentication method may be a known method or a method to be developed in the future. Further, the authentication may be a one-dimensional code such as a bar code, a two-dimensional code such as a QR code (registered trademark), an IC (Integrated Circuit) code, etc., instead of the electronic data authentication using the authentication key issued in step S320. Authentication using a chip, an authentication number, or the like may be used.

If it is determined in step S340 that the authentication using the accepted authentication key has failed (step S350-NO), the authentication control unit 112 stores the cumulative number of authentication failures in the storage unit 11A. Then, in this case, the authentication control unit 112 determines whether or not the cumulative number of times stored in the storage unit 11A is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold (step S430). The threshold is, for example, 5 times. Note that the threshold value may be less than five times or more than five times.

If it is determined in step S340 that the cumulative number of authentication failures using the accepted authentication key is less than the predetermined threshold value (step S430-NO), the authentication control unit 112 transitions to step S340 and places an order in step S320. It waits again until the authentication key issued by control unit 118 is received.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step S340 that the cumulative number of authentication failures using the accepted authentication key is equal to or greater than the predetermined threshold (step S430-YES), the authentication control unit 112 stores in the storage unit 11A The authentication key is deleted and invalidated (step S440).

After the process of step S440 is executed, the authentication control unit 112 generates warning information.
Here, the warning information is information including information indicating that the authentication key accepted in step S340 has been invalidated in step S440. That is, the warning information is information indicating that the deliverer CR is unable to unlock the first door D1, and as a result, is unable to complete the delivery of the parcel. The communication control unit 117 outputs the warning information generated by the authentication control unit 112 to some or all of the information processing device 12, the mobile terminal 13, and the server of the management company that manages the house H (step S450), End the process. As a result, the control device 11 can inform at least one of the resident, the delivery person, and the employee of the management company that the delivery person CR is unable to complete the delivery of the parcel.

On the other hand, if the authentication control unit 112 determines that the authentication using the authentication key accepted in step S340 has succeeded (step S350-YES), the electronic lock control unit 113 unlocks the first door D1 by the first electronic lock K1. It is determined that the Then, the electronic lock control unit 113 controls the second electronic lock K2 before unlocking the first door D1, and causes the second electronic lock K2 to lock the second door D2. In this case, the electronic lock control unit 113 controls the fourth electronic lock K4 to lock the fourth door D4 (step S360). That is, when the electronic lock control unit 113 causes the first electronic lock K1 to unlock the first door D1, it causes the second electronic lock K2 to lock the second door D2.

Next, the electronic lock control unit 113 controls the first electronic lock K1 to unlock the first door D1 (step S370).

Through the processing of steps S360 to S370, the control device 11 improves the convenience of the residents of the house H, and prevents people from entering the house H from outside the house H through the first storage box B1. can be suppressed.

After the process of step S370 is performed, the imaging control unit 114 controls the first imaging unit C1 to start imaging the first captured image. Note that the first captured image is a moving image. After the processing is performed, the imaging control unit 114 controls the second imaging unit C2 to start imaging the second captured image (step S380). Then, the image acquiring unit 115 starts acquiring the first captured image from the first imaging unit C1. Then, the image acquisition section 115 causes the storage section 11A to store the first captured image acquired from the first imaging section C1 as the first recorded image. Also, the image acquiring unit 115 starts acquiring the second captured image from the second imaging unit C2. Then, the image acquiring section 115 causes the storage section 11A to store the second captured image acquired from the second imaging section C2 as a second recorded image.

Here, after the first door D1 is unlocked in step S370, the deliverer CR opens the first door D1 and stores the parcel in the first storage box B1. At this time, the deliverer CR stores the parcel in either the area inside the second storage box B2 or the area outside the second storage box R2, for example, according to some predetermined rule. The rules may be rules determined according to the type of parcels to be delivered, rules agreed upon between the resident and the management company, or rules between the resident and the delivery person. It may be a rule negotiated between them or any other rule.

The imaging of the first captured image and the second captured image started in step S380 includes identification of the presence or absence of an accident when storing the delivery item, monitoring of suspicious behavior of the delivery person when storing the delivery item, and first storage. This is done for the purpose of monitoring whether or not anyone other than the deliverer has entered the box B1. That is, the control device 11 can perform at least one of suppressing the occurrence of the accident, suppressing the suspicious behavior, and suppressing the intrusion by the imaging started in step S380.

After the process of step S380 is performed, the electronic lock control unit 113 waits until the first door D1 is closed (step S390). That is, the control device 11 waits until the deliverer CR completes the storage of the parcel and closes the first door D1.

If it is determined that the first door D1 is closed (step S390-YES), the electronic lock control unit 113 controls the first electronic lock K1 to lock the first door D1 ( step S400). When the electronic lock control unit 113 determines that the first door D1 remains open for a predetermined period of time or longer, the electronic lock control unit 113 notifies the information processing device 12 of information indicating that the first door D1 remains open. , the portable terminal 13, a server of a management company, or the like. In this case, the control device 11 can prevent forgetting to close the first door D1.

Next, the imaging control unit 114 controls the first imaging unit C1 to stop the imaging of the first captured image by the first imaging unit C1. Then, the communication control section 117 outputs to the information processing device 12 the first recorded image that has been stored in the storage section 11A while the first imaging section C1 is performing imaging. Thereby, the resident can confirm how the deliverer CR stored the parcel in the first storage box B1. The imaging control unit 114 also controls the second imaging unit C2 to stop the imaging of the second captured image by the second imaging unit C2. Then, the communication control section 117 outputs to the information processing device 12 the second recorded image that has been stored in the storage section 11A while the image is being captured by the second imaging section C2 (step S410). Thereby, the resident can confirm how the deliverer CR stored the parcel in the second storage box B2.

Next, the authentication control unit 112 deletes the authentication key stored in the storage unit 11A, invalidates the authentication key (step S420), and terminates the process. Here, the authentication key is the authentication key issued by order control unit 118 in step S320.

With the above-described processing, the control device 11 can order a delivery item, unlock and lock the first door D1 when storing the delivery item, output warning information, output a first recorded image, Output of the second record information, invalidation of the authentication key, and the like can be performed. As a result, the control device 11 can prevent people from entering the house H from outside the house H through the first storage box B1 while improving convenience for the residents of the house H.

Note that the authentication key described above may have a configuration in which a valid period is set, or may have a configuration in which a valid period is not set.

Moreover, the pantry system 1 described above may be configured without either or both of the information processing device 12 and the mobile terminal 13 .

In addition, the second storage box B2 described above may contain (arrange) a product by a trader who sells some sort of product. In the present embodiment, a dealer who conducts distribution of the product refers to a dealer who replaces the sales of medicines (for example, medicines for household distribution) by the drug distribution business with the sales of the product. In this case, the control device 11 determines whether or not the resident has taken out the product from the second storage box B2 by image processing based on the above-described second captured image. Then, when the resident takes out the product from the second storage box B2, the control device 11 outputs to the server of the trader that the resident has taken out the product from the second storage box B2. As a result, the trader can charge the resident for the selling price of the product that the resident took out from the second storage box B2. Also, in this case, the second storage box B2 stores products recommended by the trader. Therefore, in this case, the pantry system 1 can provide the resident with an opportunity to purchase products of a type that the resident himself/herself does not normally purchase.

In addition, the control device 11 described above can, for example, obtain the result of image processing based on the first captured image by the image processing unit 116 (for example, the number of remaining items stored in the first storage box B1 for each type, the number of items stored in the first storage box B1, the number of 1 storage box B1), a machine learning algorithm, a history of parcels ordered by the resident in the past, various information obtained from the Internet, etc., and the energy of the house H Based on some or all of the various types of information collected from the management system, a configuration may be used in which a home delivery item that is highly likely to be desired by the resident is estimated. In this case, the control device 11 automatically places an order for the estimated home delivery item without accepting an operation for placing an order for the delivery of the home delivery item from the resident. At this time, the control device 11 may be configured to issue the order to the sales agent who sells the home delivery item, to the management company managing the house H, or to another agent. It may be a configuration. According to the order, the pantry system 1 can provide the first storage box B1 of the pantry P as a refrigerator to which food and drink are automatically supplied without shopping by the resident, for example. As a result, the pantry system 1 can improve convenience for residents. Here, the machine learning algorithms are, for example, algorithms such as neural networks and deep learning, but are not limited to these. In addition, in the history of deliveries ordered by residents in the past, the purchase history of the products stored in the second storage box B2 by the above-mentioned placement sales company (product type, product purchase date, product price, etc.) may be included. In addition, the various types of information obtained from the Internet or the like include some or all of weather information, outside temperature information, information on events held in the neighborhood of House H, information on special sales at supermarkets, and the like. . Further, the control device 11 may be configured to output the information indicating the estimated home delivery item to the server of the above-described placement sales agent. In this case, the trader can select products to be stored in the second storage box B2 based on the parcel indicated by the information.

Moreover, some of the functions of the control device 11 described above may be provided in another device.
For example, among the functions of the control device 11 as described above, the function of estimating the delivery item that is likely to be desired by the resident is the server of the management company that manages the house H, It may be a configuration provided in a server or the like. If the management company's server has this function, the management company can automatically determine the parcels to be delivered to the house H based on the inferred parcels. Further, when the server of the trader has the function, the trader can determine the products to be stored in the second storage box B2 based on the inferred parcel.
Further, for example, the function of issuing an authentication key among the functions of the control device 11 may be provided in the information processing device 12 . In this case, the information processing device 12 issues (generates) an authentication key when the aforementioned order placement operation is performed on the information processing device 12 by the resident. Then, the information processing device 12 outputs the issued authentication key to the control device 11, the server of the management company, and the portable terminal 13, for example. As a result, even in this case, the control device 11 can execute the processing of the flowchart shown in FIG.

<Modified example of embodiment>
Modifications of the embodiment will be described below.

The identification sticker described above may be attached to each delivery item packed in the packing material, instead of being attached to the packing material of the delivery item. That is, information associated with the authentication key for unlocking the first door D1 (in the example described above, information stored in association with the authentication key in the storage unit 11A), and individual delivery The information printed on the identification sticker indicating the item (more specifically, for example, the information indicating the contents of each delivery item) is the same identification sticker (i.e., combined as one sticker). configuration), it may be configured to be identification seals different from each other (that is, may be configured as separate seals). In this case, information associated with the authentication key for unlocking the first door D1 (for example, a tag for unlocking the first door D1, etc.) is printed on the identification sticker attached to the packing material. It is The information may be any information as long as it is information capable of identifying the packing material packing the individual items to be delivered, and is, for example, a packing material ID indicating the packing material. Hereinafter, for convenience of explanation, the identification sticker attached to the packing material will be referred to as a first identification sticker, and the identification sticker attached to each parcel will be referred to as a second identification sticker. The second identification sticker affixed to a certain delivery item among the individual delivery items is a sticker on which information indicating the delivery item is printed. In this case, the authentication key associated with the information printed on the first identification sticker is stored in the storage unit 11A of the control device 11 in the process of step S330 described above. Note that the process of unlocking the first door D1 may be the same process as the process when the identification sticker described in the flowchart shown in FIG. 10 is replaced with the first identification sticker. Any other processing using

When the first identification sticker and the second identification sticker are different from each other, for example, a reading device installed in the pantry reads the information printed on each of the second identification stickers affixed to the individual deliveries, and reads the information printed on each of the second identification stickers. Output to the control unit 11C in P. Here, the reading device is a device for reading information printed on the second identification sticker. Based on the information obtained from the reading device, the control unit 11C inquires an external database and compares it with the product information of the home delivery item. Based on the result of the comparison, the control unit 11C stores a list of home deliveries stored (stocked) in the pantry P in a portable terminal, PC, or the like operated by the resident of the house H, and stores it as a stock management list. (or create the list as a stock control list if it does not already exist). The stock management list includes a history of one or more deliveries received, stored (storage), and delivered from the pantry P, and various types of information about each of the one or more deliveries (for example, a residence indicating the resident of house H). It is a list that includes information on the person to be delivered, the date and time of receipt indicating the date and time when the parcel was newly stored, and in the case of food, the expiration date and expiration date, etc.). Each time the stock management list is updated, the control unit 11C updates the stock management list with another device (for example, an information processing device of a company that delivers parcels, a company that sells and delivers products, etc.). output to In addition to the stock management list, the control unit 11C adds the list to the stock list (or creates the list as a stock list if the stock list does not yet exist). The stock list includes a list of one or more deliveries stored (stored) in the pantry P, and various information about each of the one or more deliveries (for example, resident information indicating the resident of house H, It is a list that includes the date and time of receipt indicating the date and time when the delivery item was newly stored, and in the case of food, the expiration date and expiration date, etc.). The control unit 11C stores the stock list to which the list is added in at least one of the storage unit 11A and a server on the cloud (for example, the server SV shown in FIG. 1). Further, when a delivery item is newly stocked (stored) in the pantry P, the control unit 11C adds information indicating the newly received delivery item to each of the stock management list and the stock list, Various information about the delivery item is added, and when the delivery item is taken out (taken out), various information about the delivery item taken out from the pantry P (that is, included with the information indicating the delivery item) resident information and the date and time of delivery) are deleted from the stock list, and the date and time of delivery of the delivery item is recorded in the stock management list (that is, the history of the delivery of the delivery item is updated in the stock management list). That is, in these cases, the control unit 11C updates the stock management list and the stock list. Further, the other device that has acquired the stock management list displays the stock management list on the display unit of the other device, for example. That is, the control unit 11C outputs the stock management list to the other device and causes the other device to display the stock management list. Note that the items to be delivered may be items delivered by a company, or items brought in by the resident himself/herself. The mobile terminal and the PC are examples of other devices. The individual deliveries are an example of individual objects stored in the pantry P. Also, the parcels newly stocked in the pantry P are examples of the first object and the third object. Also, the parcel delivered from the pantry P is an example of each of the second object and the fourth object.

Here, the control unit 11C updates and outputs the stock management list and updates the stock list, respectively, by performing the processing of the flowchart shown in FIG. 12, for example. FIG. 12 is a diagram showing an example of the flow of processing performed by the control unit 11C when a new parcel is stored in the pantry P. As shown in FIG. In the following description, as an example, the case where a list of parcels to be delivered by the deliverer is stored in advance in the storage unit 11A at a timing before the process of step S510 shown in FIG. 12 is performed. will be explained. In the following, for convenience of explanation, the list will be referred to as a parcel delivery list. Note that the home delivery item list is input to the control device 11 by either the user of the control device 11 or the information processing device of the company that delivers the home delivery items, for example.

The control unit 11C waits until one or more new parcels are stored in the pantry P (step S510).

When one or more new parcels are stored in the pantry P (step S510-YES), the control unit 11C controls the one or more parcels stored in the pantry P based on the pre-stored parcel list. (step S520). Here, more specifically, the control unit 11C reads, for example, the content printed on the second identification sticker attached to each of the one or more parcels to be delivered by a sensor provided in the pantry P, Based on the read contents and the list of items to be delivered, it is determined whether or not the one or more items to be delivered include items not scheduled for delivery.

When the control unit 11C determines that one or more parcels stored in the pantry P include a parcel that is not scheduled to be delivered (step S520-YES), the mobile terminal 13 owned by the deliverer , that one or more parcels stored in the pantry P include a parcel that is not scheduled to be delivered (step S560).

Next, the control unit 11C waits until the non-delivery item is removed from the one or more items stored in the pantry P (step S570). Here, more specifically, the control unit 11C reads, for example, the content printed on the second identification sticker attached to each of the one or more parcels to be delivered by a sensor provided in the pantry P, Based on the read contents, it is determined whether or not a delivery item not scheduled for delivery has been removed from the one or more delivery items.

Next, when the control unit 11C determines that a delivery item not scheduled for delivery has been removed from one or more delivery items stored in the pantry P (step S570-YES), the control unit 11C transitions to step S530.

On the other hand, if the control unit 11C determines in step S520 that the one or more home delivery items stored in the pantry P do not include any home delivery item not scheduled for delivery (step S520-NO), step S530. transition to

In step S530, the control unit 11C stores information indicating each of the one or more home delivery items newly stocked in the pantry P and various types of information about each of the one or more home delivery items into a stock management list and a stock list. , and updates the stock management list and the stock list (step S530).

FIG. 13 is a diagram showing an example of a stock management list. As shown in FIG. 13, the stock management list includes, for example, the order date and time of each of the one or more home deliveries that have been received, stored, and dispatched from the pantry P, and the date and time of receipt, storage, and delivery of each of the one or more home deliveries. It includes history (in the example shown in FIG. 13, date and time of receipt and date and time of delivery), scheduled delivery date and time, pick-up schedule, major item name, minor item name, volume, product name, manufacturer name, delivery person name, and status. ing. Note that the stock management list may include other information instead of, or in addition to, some or all of these items. Here, as for the pick-up schedule for a particular delivery item, for example, if the item is an ordered item, nothing is displayed, and if the item is an arranged item, the date and time of the scheduled pick-up is displayed. item. As for the status of a delivery item, if the item is an ordered item, information such as information indicating that the item has been ordered or information indicating that the item has been purchased is displayed. For example, it is an item in which information indicating automatic arrangement is displayed.

Also, FIG. 14 is a diagram showing an example of a stock list. As shown in FIG. 14, the stock list includes, for example, major item names, minor item names, volumes, product names, manufacturer names, expiration dates, receipts, and the like for each of the one or more delivery items stored in the pantry P. The date and time, pick-up schedule, delivery person's name, status, etc. are included. Note that the stock list may include other information in place of, or in addition to, some or all of these items.

After the processing of step S530 is performed, the control unit 11C outputs the stock management list updated in step S530 to another device (step S540).

Next, the control unit 11C causes the storage unit 11A to store the stock list updated in step S530 (step S550), transitions to step S510, and waits until one or more new parcels are stored in the pantry P. wait again.

In the flowchart shown in FIG. 12, the processes of steps S540 and S550 may be performed in reverse order or in parallel.

Further, the control unit 11C updates and outputs the stock management list and updates the stock list, respectively, by the processing of the flowchart shown in FIG. 15, for example. FIG. 15 is a diagram showing an example of the flow of processing performed by the control unit 11C when a parcel is delivered from the pantry P. As shown in FIG.

The control unit 11C waits until one or more parcels are delivered from the pantry P (step S610).

Next, the control unit 11C deletes the information indicating each of the one or more items to be delivered that have been delivered from the pantry P and various information on each of the one or more items to be delivered from the stock management list and the stock list. , the stock management list and the stock list are updated (step S620).

Next, control unit 11C outputs the stock management list updated in step S620 to another device (step S630).

Next, the control unit 11C causes the storage unit 11A to store the stock list updated in step S620 (step S640), transitions to step S610, and waits again until one or more parcels are delivered from the pantry P. do.

In the flowchart shown in FIG. 15, the processes of steps S630 and S640 may be performed in reverse order or in parallel.

In this way, the control device 11 may be configured to update and output the stock management list and stock list. Also, the function of updating and storing the list in the control unit 11C may be partly or wholly performed by the server SV on the cloud.

Alternatively, for example, the information indicating each of the second identification stickers affixed to each parcel to be delivered is read by some sensor (for example, a sensor using short-range wireless communication that reads an IC (Integrated Circuit) chip). , based on the read information, the number of the individual deliveries stored in the pantry P can be specified. The sensor may be provided in the pantry P, or may be provided in the portable terminal 13 held by the trader. The sensor is an example of a sensor that detects information indicative of individual objects stored in a pantry. By reading the second identification sticker with such a sensor, a trader who sells some kind of merchandise can replace or replenish the merchandise according to the specified number. Also, in that case, for example, the control device 11 described above specifies the number based on the information read by the sensor, and the specified number, the machine learning algorithm, and the order placed by the resident in the past. The possibility that the resident desires based on part or all of the history of the parcel delivered, various information obtained from the Internet, etc., and various information collected from the energy management system of House H. The information read from the second identification sticker by the control unit 11C may be output to a server on the cloud (for example, the server SV shown in FIG. 1 or FIG. 11). , the server may be configured to infer the home delivery that is likely to be desired by the resident based on part or all of the information output to the server in this way.

In addition, the control unit 11C, based on the history information of each of the warehousing and delivery of the home delivery item in the pantry P as described above, sends the home delivery requested by the resident of the house H to the seller who sells the home delivery item. It may be configured to automatically order an item. Such ordering may be performed by a server on the cloud instead of the control unit 11C. In this case, the control unit 11C outputs the history information to the server. Based on the history information, the server automatically places an order for the home delivery item desired by the resident of the house H to the seller who sells the home delivery item. In addition, based on the history information, the control unit 11C presumes a product close to the resident's taste as a recommended product for the resident, and instructs the seller to deliver the presumed recommended product. It may be a configuration that prompts the distributor. Such estimation and prompting to the seller may be performed by the server instead of the control unit 11C. In this case, the control unit 11C outputs the history information to the server. Then, based on the history information, the server presumes products that are close to the taste of the resident as recommended products for the resident, and instructs the seller to deliver the presumed recommended product. encourage entrepreneurs.

Further, in the pantry system 1 described above, the first storage box B1 is provided in the walk-in type pantry P, but instead of this, as shown in FIG. may be configured. That is, in other words, the pantry P in this case is the first storage box B1 itself.
