Description

The present disclosure relates to a container management server, a container management method, and a container management program.

At work sites such as factories and construction sites, industrial waste is discharged. Therefore, at the work site, one or more containers may be arranged for accumulating them. The industrial waste accumulated in the container is collectively transported and treated by a disposal company that treats industrial waste. In general, containers are disposed of by container management companies (e.g., industrial waste processors, collectors, container owners) and industrial waste dischargers (e.g., construction companies, construction companies, real estate business). Containers installed at the work site are collected when the work is completed or when the container is full.

Systems for managing containers installed at such work sites are known. For example, Patent Literature 1 discloses a waste container management system. In this system, a waste container is provided with an information acquisition device. The information acquisition device is configured to periodically acquire the position information of the waste container and transmit it to the management server via the communication network. Further, in this system, the waste container is collected by the waste container based on the lapse of the rental period or based on the filling degree information transmitted to the management server by the information acquisition device.

Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2020-86710

At a work site, a person who visually inspects the condition of a container may request collection of the container. However, in some cases, the requester who requests the collection of the container does not know the name or contact information of the container management company that manages the container. The container management company may differ depending on the work site, and may differ from container to container at the same work site. In such a case, the requester needs to confirm and contact the container management company, which is troublesome when requesting collection.

On the other hand, the container management company that received the collection request may also confirm the requester, the discharger, the location of the work site, and the like. If the container management company has not acquired such information in advance, the confirmation work is particularly troublesome. For example, at the stage of installing a container at the work site, if the master information on the discharger and the work site is not registered in the database, confirmation from scratch between the requester and the container management company at the collection request stage work is required. Such a system is troublesome and therefore not convenient.

The system disclosed in Patent Document 1 is a system for one container management company to deal with a plurality of clients. However, this system is not configured so that a plurality of container management companies can share the management server. In addition, since the system disclosed in Patent Document 1 is configured so that the disposal operator determines when to collect the container, the site worker visually checks the condition of the container (for example, the degree of filling) and requests collection. not configuration. Therefore, Patent Document 1 does not disclose means for improving the above-described low convenience.

(Configuration of waste collection support system)
An overall configuration of a waste collection support system 1 according to one embodiment will be described. FIG. 1 is a block diagram schematically showing the configuration of a waste collection support system 1 including a container management server 100 according to one embodiment.

The waste collection support system 1 is a system for supporting the collection of waste generated at work sites. The waste collection support system 1 includes a container management server 100 , one or more client terminals 200 , and one or more person in charge terminals 300 . The container management server 100, the client terminal 200, and the person in charge terminal 300 are communicably connected via a network NW. The network NW is composed of a WAN (World Area Network), a LAN (Local Area Network), and the like.

The container management server 100 is a server device for managing a plurality of containers 400 for containing waste at work sites. The container management server 100 is configured to comprehensively manage one or more work sites. In addition, in this application, the container 400 is interpreted in a broad sense, and is not limited to a container type container, and includes a basket type container. That is, the container 400 may be any container that accommodates waste.

The requester terminal 200 is a communication terminal used by a requester who requests collection of the container 400 . The person in charge terminal 300 is a communication terminal used by the person in charge of the container 400 . An employee of a construction company or the like who works on the site often checks the condition of the container 400 and issues a collection request. It should be noted that the requester who requests the collection of the container 400 may be the person in charge of the container 400 or an employee of the container management company. If client registration, which will be described later, is completed, the person in charge terminal 300 can also operate as the client terminal 200 .

The client terminal 200 and the person in charge terminal 300 are, for example, portable communication terminals such as smartphones, tablet terminals, laptop personal computers, and hand scanners. The client terminal 200 and the person-in-charge terminal 300 have a function of acquiring the position of their own devices and a function of reading identification information uniquely assigned to each container 400 .

The client terminal 200 and the person in charge terminal 300 may acquire their own positions by using a positioning system such as GLONASS (Global Navigation Satellite System) or GPS (Global Positioning System). The client terminal 200 and the person in charge terminal 300 may be configured to read identification information by using a camera, scanner, or the like, for example.

The identification information for identifying the container 400 may be two-dimensional code reading information. In this case, for example, as shown in FIG. 1, the two-dimensional code is optically read from the seal 410 attached to the container 400 . A two-dimensional code is, for example, a QR code (registered trademark). For example, the person in charge of the container management company may print the QR code on the seal 410 based on the data provided by the container management server 100 and attach it to the container 400 . Such a seal 410 may be affixed to the container 400 in advance by the manufacturing company when the container 400 is manufactured. Note that the identification information may be read by short-range wireless communication instead of the optically read two-dimensional code.

(Container management server configuration)
The container management server 100 according to one embodiment will be described in detail below. FIG. 2 is a block diagram schematically showing the configuration of the container management server 100 according to one embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 2, the container management server 100 includes a communication unit 11 that communicates with other devices, a storage unit 12 that stores various data, an input unit 13 that receives input from an operator, and outputs information to the operator. and an output unit 14 that controls the entire device. These components are interconnected by bus lines 16 .

The communication unit 11 has a communication interface for communicating with other devices. The communication unit 11 receives, for example, a collection request for the container 400 from the client terminal 200 and installation information for the container 400 from the person in charge terminal 300 .

The storage unit 12 includes a RAM (Random Access Memory), a ROM (Read Only Memory), and the like. The storage unit 12 stores programs for executing various control processes (for example, a container management program), various data (for example, identification information and position information of the container 400, master information, image data related to various screens), and the like. The storage unit 12 includes an identification information storage unit 121 and an installation information storage unit 122 .

The identification information storage unit 121 is configured to associate and store identification information for identifying the container 400 and a container management company that manages the container 400 for each of the plurality of containers 400 . The installation information storage unit 122 is configured to associate and store information received by the installation information reception unit 154 (described later) and information received by the administrator registration unit 153 (described later).

The input unit 13 is composed of devices such as operation buttons, a keyboard, and a touch panel, for example. The input unit 13 is an input interface for the operator to input instructions.

The output unit 14 is composed of, for example, an output device such as a display and a speaker. The output unit 14 is an output interface for presenting information related to the container 400 to the operator.

The control unit 15 includes processors such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit) and a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit). The control unit 15 executes control processing, which will be described later, by executing a program (for example, a container management program) stored in the storage unit 12 .

The functional configuration of the control unit 15 will be described below. The control unit 15 includes a request reception unit 151 , a request notification unit 152 , an administrator registration unit 153 , an installation information reception unit 154 , a client registration unit 155 , a location information provision unit 156 , a master information acquisition unit 157 , a master information provision unit 158 . function as

The request receiving unit 151 is configured to receive a collection request for the container 400 from the client terminal 200 . Specifically, the request receiving unit 151 causes the requester terminal 200 registered as a requester by the requester registration unit 155 (to be described later) to display, via the communication unit 11, a screen for receiving a collection request for the container 400. configured to The request receiving unit 151 receives, as a collection request, the identification information of the container 400 to be collected, the position information of the container 400 to be collected at the time of the collection request, and the information indicating the amount of waste. The position information may be information indicating a position, may be information indicating latitude and longitude, or may be information indicating an address.

The position information at the time of requesting collection of the container 400 may be information indicating the position of the requester terminal 200 when the two-dimensional code is read as the identification information of the container 400 . In this case, the requester can specify the position of the container 400 and request the collection of the container 400 simply by reading the two-dimensional code.

For example, when the requester terminal 200 reads the two-dimensional code, the request reception unit 151 indicates the location information of the container 400, the name of the container management company corresponding to the two-dimensional code, and the installation date of the container 400. The client terminal 200 is caused to display information and options indicating the extent of the amount of waste. Then, the request receiving unit 151 may be configured to receive it as a collection request when an operation to confirm the displayed content is performed on the requester terminal 200 .

Here, a specific example of the display screen regarding the collection request will be described. FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of a menu screen displayed on the client terminal 200 by the container management server 100 according to one embodiment. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of a request reception screen displayed on the client terminal 200 by the container management server 100 according to one embodiment.

The request receiving unit 151 causes the requester terminal 200, which has been registered as a requester, to display a menu screen including an item indicating a collection request, as shown in FIG. 3, for example. For example, on the menu screen for the requester, a button B1 of "replacement/removal request" is displayed as an item indicating the collection request.

In some embodiments, when the display areas of the buttons B1 to B19 shown in FIGS. to accept it as a press or selection operation. However, these operation methods are not limited to such operations on the screen. For example, the container management server 100, the client terminal 200, and the person in charge terminal 300 may be configured to accept operations by pressing physical operation buttons, keyboard input, voice input, or the like.

Here, when the requester presses the button B1 to select an item indicating the collection request, the request reception unit 151 displays a screen for the container management server 100 to obtain access permission to the camera of the requester terminal 200, for example. It is displayed on the client terminal 200 . Further, when the access permission is obtained, the request receiving unit 151 activates the camera of the requester terminal 200 to display the screen for the two-dimensional code reading operation. Note that the container management server 100 may be configured to have the client manually input the identification information when the identification information (for example, the two-dimensional code) cannot be read.

When the two-dimensional code is read, the request reception unit 151 displays, for example, the request reception screen shown in FIG. On the request acceptance screen, for example, a button B2 for displaying options indicating the amount of waste, a button B3 for accepting a confirmation operation, and a button B4 for returning to the menu screen shown in FIG. 3 are displayed. .

Further, based on the identification information of the container 400 read by the client terminal 200 or the identification information input by the client, the request reception unit 151 reads out the container management company from the identification information storage unit 121 or the installation information storage unit 122. The name, site name, container number (identification information), and installation date are displayed on the request reception screen. The illustrated example shows a state in which the address has not been set, but other items have been read from the storage unit 12 . For example, options to indicate the degree of waste volume are full, half, empty, and so on. Here, for example, when the requester presses the button B2 to select one of the options for the amount of waste displayed and presses the button B3, the request reception unit 151 displays the request reception screen. and the position information when the two-dimensional code was read are accepted as a collection request.

The request notification unit 152 is configured to notify the person in charge of the container 400 to be collected that the collection request has been received when the request reception unit 151 receives the collection request. Specifically, the request notification unit 152 selects a container management company that manages the container 400 to be collected from among a plurality of container management companies based on the identification information included in the collection request, and selects the selected container management company. Notify the person in charge of the recall request.

The administrator registration unit 153 is configured to register, as an administrator, the person in charge terminal 300 used by the person in charge based on the administrator information, which is information about the container management company or the person in charge. For example, the container management server 100 causes the person in charge terminal 300 to display an input screen for inputting administrator information, which is information about the container management company or the person in charge, and transmits the input administrator information via the communication unit 11. configured to retrieve

The installation information reception unit 154 causes the person in charge terminal 300 registered by the administrator registration unit 153 to display a reception screen for installation registration of the container 400 via the communication unit 11 . The installation information reception unit 154 is configured to receive, via the communication unit 11, the identification information of the container 400 installed at the work site and the position information of the container 400 at the time of installation from the person in charge terminal 300. be.

Here, a specific example of a display screen regarding installation registration will be described. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of a menu screen displayed on the person-in-charge terminal 300 by the container management server 100 according to one embodiment. FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of an installation registration acceptance screen displayed on the terminal 300 by the container management server 100 according to one embodiment.

The installation information reception unit 154 displays a menu screen including items indicating installation registration, for example, as shown in FIG. For example, on the menu screen for the person in charge, an "installation" button B5 is displayed as an item indicating installation registration. In the menu screen for the person in charge shown in FIG. 5, as other items, a "withdrawal" button B6, a "confirmation" button B7, and a "status" button B8 are displayed.

Here, when the person in charge presses the button B5 to select an item indicating installation registration, the installation information reception unit 154 displays, for example, a screen for the container management server 100 to obtain access permission to the camera of the person in charge terminal 300. is displayed on the terminal 300 of the person in charge. In addition, when the access permission is obtained, the installation information reception unit 154 activates the camera of the person in charge terminal 300 to display the screen for the two-dimensional code reading operation. When the two-dimensional code is read, the installation information reception unit 154 displays the installation registration reception screen shown in FIG. 6, for example. On the installation registration acceptance screen, for example, a button B9 for accepting a confirmation operation and a button B10 for returning to the menu screen shown in FIG. 5 are displayed.

The installation information receiving unit 154 also receives the identification information of the container 400 read by the person in charge terminal 300 or the identification information input by the person in charge, and the information read from the storage unit 12 based on the identification information (for example, a master container to be described later). The customer's name, site name, address, and container number (identification information) are displayed on the installation registration acceptance screen as master information acquired in the past by the information acquisition unit 157 . In the illustrated example, since the master information has not yet been acquired, only the container number (identification information) is displayed, and other items are displayed as unset. Here, for example, when the requester presses button B9, the installation information reception unit 154 receives the information displayed on the installation registration reception screen and the position information when the two-dimensional code was read as installation registration.

The installation information reception unit 154 is further configured to acquire the installation date or installation date and time of the container 400 based on the time when the identification information of the container 400 and the position information of the container 400 are received or information input by the person in charge. good too. The installation information reception unit 154 associates the acquired information with the administrator information of the person in charge terminal 300 and stores the information in the installation information storage unit 122 .

The position information at the time of installation of the container 400 may be information indicating the position of the person in charge terminal 300 used by the person in charge when the two-dimensional code is read as the identification information of the container 400 . In this case, the position of the container 400 can be specified and the installation information of the container 400 can be registered only by the person in charge reading the two-dimensional code. Note that the container management server 100 may be configured to have the person in charge manually input the identification information when the identification information cannot be read.

The "withdraw" button B6 is used by the person in charge of collecting the container 400 to notify the container management server 100 that the container 400 has been collected. The "Confirm" button B7 is used by the person in charge of the container 400 to view information such as the name of the site of the container 400, the name of the customer (name of the discharger), the address, the container number, and the installation date of the container. .

For example, when the "withdraw" button B6 is pressed, the container management server 100 causes the person in charge terminal 300 to display a screen for reading the two-dimensional code. When the person in charge reads the two-dimensional code and performs a confirmation operation, the container management server 100 recognizes that the container 400 has been collected and stores the information in the storage unit 12 . That the container 400 has been collected is reflected in the container master screen shown in FIG. 11, which will be described later.

For example, when the "Confirm" button B7 is pressed, the container management server 100 causes the person in charge terminal 300 to display a screen for reading the two-dimensional code. When the person in charge reads the two-dimensional code and performs a confirmation operation, the container management server 100 causes the person in charge terminal 300 to display the information of the container 400 .

The requester registration unit 155 is configured to perform requester registration using only the contact information input from the requester terminal 200 . Specifically, the requester registration unit 155 causes the requester terminal 200 to display a requester's contact information input screen via the communication unit 11 . The contact information input screen displayed on the client terminal 200 by the client registration unit 155 may be displayed on the Internet browser screen instead of the application. In this case, since there is no need to install an application on the client terminal 200, convenience is improved.

For example, the requester registration unit 155 causes the requester terminal 200 to display an input screen for the requester's e-mail address, and displays a URL for displaying an input screen for the requester's telephone number for the input e-mail address. Then, the requester registration may be completed only with the e-mail address and telephone number input from the requester terminal 200 .

In this case, since the contact information is only the e-mail address and telephone number, the registration work can be simplified. Also, even if a person with malicious intent makes a collection request for the purpose of interfering with business, since the container management server 100 can grasp the person's telephone number, it is possible to call that person's telephone number. It is possible to identify the other party or refuse a warning or collection request. Therefore, it is possible to secure a certain level of security while securing the flexibility of client registration.

Here, a specific example of a display screen regarding client registration will be described. FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of a client registration screen displayed on the client terminal 200 by the container management server 100 according to one embodiment. FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of a client registration screen displayed on the client terminal 200 by the container management server 100 according to one embodiment. FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an example of a client registration screen displayed on the client terminal 200 by the container management server 100 according to one embodiment.

The requester registration unit 155 causes the requester terminal 200 to display a screen for inputting the requester's e-mail address, as shown in FIG. 7, for example. As described above, in many cases, the requester who requests the collection of the container 400 is the worker. Therefore, as shown in FIG. good.

Here, when the requester enters an e-mail address in the registration e-mail address field and presses a button B11 for instructing transmission, the requester registration unit 155 sends the e-mail address to the e-mail address via the communication unit 11. , send an email containing the URL. The requester registration unit 155 causes the requester terminal 200 that accesses the URL to display a screen for inputting the requester's telephone number, as shown in FIG.

Here, when the requester enters his/her own telephone number in the telephone number field and presses the button B12 for proceeding to the next step, the requester registration unit 155 sends a message to the requester terminal 200 via the communication unit 11. The screen shown in 9 is displayed. On the screen shown in FIG. 9, for example, a button B13 for accepting a confirmation operation and a button B14 for returning to the screen shown in FIG. 8 and re-entering the telephone number are displayed. When the requester presses the button B13, the requester registration unit 155 acquires the telephone number. This completes the requester registration.

The configuration of the requester registration unit 155 is not limited to the configuration for registering the requester by using the e-mail address and telephone number as described above. For example, the requester registration unit 155 may be configured to prompt the user to enter a telephone number, send back a short mail with a link, consider the access to the link as identity verification, and complete the requester registration. good. In this case, it is not necessary to enter an e-mail address, which is advantageous because the requester registration can be simplified and the identity can be verified.

The location information providing unit 156 provides the person in charge terminal 300 via the communication unit 11 with an icon indicating one or more containers 400 on loan from the container management company based on the location information of the container 400 at the time of collection request or installation. It is configured to be displayed so as to be superimposed on the map. The location information providing unit 156 may be configured to cause the person in charge terminal 300 to distinguishably display the container 400 for which a collection request has been issued.

For example, the position information providing unit 156 may be configured to emphasize only the icon of the container 400 for which collection is requested, or to change the color or shape of the icon depending on whether or not there is a collection request. The position information providing unit 156 switches the display (changes whether to display only the containers 400 that are being requested for collection, display all the containers 400 that are being rented, and whether or not to display the collected containers 400 according to the state). may be configured to allow In this case, the person in charge can grasp the position and state of the container 400 for which the collection request has been issued, so that the collection work or the collection arrangement can be performed smoothly.

Here, a specific example of the display screen regarding the position information of the container 400 provided by the position information providing unit 156 will be described. FIG. 10 is a diagram showing an example of the position information of the container 400 displayed on the person-in-charge terminal 300 by the container management server 100 according to one embodiment.

For example, when the person in charge uses the person in charge terminal 300 to open the menu for the person in charge shown in FIG. to display. For example, as shown in FIG. 10, an image in which icons P1 and P2 indicating the positions of the containers 400 are superimposed on the map is displayed in the area A1.

In the illustrated example, the icon P1 indicates the position of the container 400 that is being requested for collection, and the icon P2 indicates the position of the container 400 that is being rented (already installed and no collection request has been issued). Radio buttons for changing whether or not to display according to the state of the container 400 or the like are displayed in the area A2. In the illustrated example, both the icons P1 and P2 are displayed in the area A1 because "Show all" is selected in the radio button.
